Grant promotes smoke-free housing
By STEPH TAHTINEN
Mt. Pleasant News
In an attempt to improve the overall health of the community, the move is being made towards smoke-free housing.
"We are currently receiving funds for eight hours a week to promote smoke-free housing in Henry County through the Community Transformation Grant," Chris Kempker, tobacco prevention coordinator through the Iowa State University Extension Office in Henry County, told the board of health during its regular meeting on Thursday.
The Community Transformation, which is a five-year grant with an estimated $88,000 in funding per year, focuses on the prevention of heart attack, stroke and other chronic conditions through a variety of community arenas.
Lindsay Remick, wellness coordinator for Healthy Henry County Communities and Henry County Health Center, is responsible for coordinating the use of the grant's funds, and she has been working with Kempker on the smoke-free housing initiative.
The goal is to get all low-income, multi-unit housing complexes in Henry County to adopt a smoke-free policy.
However, Kempker and Remick noted that they are running into some difficulties.
"A lot of their tenants right now are smokers, and it's that disproportionate rate of the elderly and the low income that seem to be a high percentage of smokers," said Kempker. "They don't want to broach the subject."
Kempker noted that they talked about possibly grandfathering in tenants, though the grant does not really encourage that.
"There are 26 counties in the Community Transformation Grant. At our regional meetings we discuss it because everybody's in the same boat," said Remick. "It's hard to make steps in the right direction."
Kempker and Remick have handed out surveys to the managers of the complexes to see if they are moving in this direction, but they have yet to hear back from all of them. They also noted that it is difficult to get in touch with some managers and owners.
Currently there have been seven complexes identified, and two of them have adopted the policy. Once they do, the complex is listed on a website, smoke-freehomes.iowa.gov, advertising the complex as smoke-free. There are also signs placed at the complex designating them as smoke-free facilities.
In other business, the board of health received updates from Community Health Director Travis Johnson on the various programs and grants that fall under the public health department.
Johnson noted that the public health department will be impacted by the cuts in federal funding, though he is not sure what programs will be affected.
"It will be significant, but I do not know the exact impact of where it will affect and where it won't," said Johnson.
He noted that the impact will likely be seen in Fiscal Year 2015.

Ras Al-Khaimah Khaimah Gas Commission (RAKGAS) announced a gas find in the onshore 'Well C' on January 22, although it is not yet certain that the find is commercially viable. This is the second one source of gas so far discovered in the emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah, one of seven in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The other is the Saleh offshore well, which is close to dry.
Ras Al-Khaimah's gas reserves are estimated at 1.1 tcf. RAKGAS, formed in 1984, deals in the processing of offshore gas produced in Saleh and Bukha fields at its LPG Processing Plant in Khor Khwair. — (menareport.com)

Liberty-Sky Preview
After seven consecutive losing seasons, the Eastern Conference-leading Chicago Sky find themselves on the verge of the first playoff berth in team history.
The Sky can lock up a postseason spot with a win over the visiting New York Liberty, who could be without Cappie Pondexter as they try to avoid a five-game season sweep Friday night.
A winner in five of six, Chicago (18-8) reduced its magic number to one with a 79-73 victory at Washington on Tuesday. Star rookie Elena Della Donne returned from injury to score 24 points while Courtney Vandersloot added a season-high 19 to go along with seven assists.
Sylvia Fowles scored 16 points and grabbed 15 rebounds.
"We want to make history," said Delle Donne, who missed the previous two games with a sprained left foot. "I think adrenaline takes over and you don't feel any pain anymore. I was happy to see that I wasn't favoring my foot or anything like that."
The Sky, who joined the WNBA in 2006, had never previously finished with more than 16 wins.
"Obviously for the franchise, the fans, these players, it's huge," coach Pokey Chatman said. "I won't try to minimize it, (but) it won't change how we approach things (against the Liberty) ... It's huge and we just have to make sure we get it the next time out."
The Sky have dominated the Liberty (10-15) this season, taking all four matchups by an average of 18.3 points. Chicago most recently swept a home-and-home set, winning 75-55 at New York on July 18 and 80-69 two days later.
"I know in the course of a season just by experience, every team has their number on a team," Pondexter said after scoring 22 in the second of those defeats. "It happens. This is how basketball is."
New York is hoping to avoid a season high-tying third consecutive loss after getting blown out 88-57 at Minnesota on Sunday. Katie Smith and Alex Montgomery each scored a team-high 11 points for the Liberty, who were limited to 31.3 percent from the field with Pondexter out due to a bruised left heel.
"Overall we competed to a point," said coach Bill Laimbeer, whose team dropped one game behind Washington for the fourth and final playoff spot in the East.
Laimbeer was fined an undisclosed amount Thursday after criticizing the Lynx for keeping Maya Moore in the game late in the fourth quarter with her team comfortably ahead.
Pondexter is averaging 18.7 points to rank third in the league, just ahead of Delle Donne's 18.5.
Fowles has averaged 21.0 points in her last five games, 4.3 above her season mark. Fowles leads the WNBA in field-goal percentage (58.1) and rebounds (11.9).

Mar 08, 2012 Neil Benjamin Jr. Uncategorized
Aimed at meeting the growing needs of seniors in Onondaga County, Home Instead Senior Care has opened a franchise on Ridings Road.
Married couple Gair and Tom Adams opened the franchise on Feb. 1 as a way to provide non-medical services to local elderly citizens. Home Instead was founded in 1994 by Paul and Lori Hogan in Omaha, Neb., after the couple began helping out Paul's grandmother, Eleanor Manhart.
There are 800 franchises in the United States and 115 internationally. Each franchise is for-profit, and the ultimate goal is to provide support for activities designed to improve the quality of life for seniors. For the local franchise, the immediate goal is to provide companionship. In the long term, its goal is to become Syracuse's trusted resource of said ideals.
"We will transport seniors to their activities, help them with anything they are interested in and provide the companionship they may desire," Gair said in her office at 6443 Ridings Road, Syracuse. "Our goal is to provide to the client everything they want."
They way it works is the franchise hires care givers who travel to the seniors' houses to help with just about everything outside of medical assistance. Gair said studies have shown that between 85 and 90 percent of seniors prefer to remain in their own homes, rather than move to a nursing home or senior living facility.
"Our hope is that we can help them stay in their homes as long as possible," Gair added.
Aside from helping the elderly, Home Instead is also aiding the local economy. Granted, the national unemployment has dropped in recent weeks, but there is still a huge need for new jobs in the Syracuse area. Since opening up the search for care givers, the business has received 126 applicants, some with master's and nursing degree's, Gair said.
So far, Gair said 40 people have been interviewed and six have been hired, with eight more about to be added. She said by the end of the year she hopes to have up to 60 employees for the part-time, 20-to 25-hour a week position. But not just anyone can land a job there. Gair said Home Instead does a rigorous background check that includes a drug and alcohol screening, a full criminal check and a peek into the applicant's driving record. While having an issue in the past won't help the applicant, it's also not the one deciding factor, Gair said. On top of all that, the person must provide at least three personal and three professional references to be considered.
Once hired, the care giver goes through a thorough training that concludes with a quiz that needs to be passed.
"We take the hiring process very seriously," Gair said. "We want our clients to feel as comfortable as possible with whoever helps with their care."
She noted that the senior population can be an easy target for those with negative intentions.
"Seniors can be vulnerable," she said. "Some people like to take advantage. I've heard some bad experiences, and we hope our screening process can eliminate that element."
Home Instead does its best to best match client with care giver. The client has to fill out a bunch of paperwork that includes information on what their activities are, if they have any mobility issues, what their health is like, what routines they keep and if they exercise, among many other factors.
The company even goes as far as, with the client's permission, checking the client's house to see how a care giver can best assist. Each client will receive four quality assurance visits.
"We want as much information as possible," Gair said.
Gair went to SUNY Stony Brook for her undergraduate studies and Cortland for her master's in education. She spent a lot of her career as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Tom, who was unavailable for interview due to job commitments, attended Penn State for a degree in business psychology and SUNY Oneonta for his master's degree. They have two children.
"We have been lucky that both sets of our parents are still alive, and we're into our 50s," Gair said. "It's unusual, but we've been fortunate."
So far, they have four potential clients, but that number is growing.
"We're getting truly qualified applicants," she concluded. "The better service we provide, the more clients we will get."

Reese Witherspoon sat down Thursday morning on "Good Morning America" to discuss her recent arrest during a promotional appearance for new movie, "Mud."
"It's just completely unacceptable and we are so sorry and embarrassed," Witherspoon told George Stephanopolous. "I think we made a mistake and it was something that will absolutely never happen again."
Also read: Reese Witherspoon Arrest Mocked by Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno (Video)
Witherspoon admitted in the interview to saying a number of crazy things, including the now infamous lines, "Do you know my name?" and "You're about to find out who I am."
The regretful actress explained: "I saw him arresting my husband and I literally panicked... I told him I was pregnant. I'm not pregnant. I said all kinds of crazy things."
Witherspoon and her husband, CAA talent agent Jim Toth, were pulled over in a 2013 Ford Focus, after a night out to dinner in Atlanta that she said included one too many glasses of wine. After a field sobriety test, Toth was arrested for driving under the influence and failure to maintain the lane. Witherspoon, warned twice by police for attempting to get out of the car, was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Dye type printer papers
dye printers can print on a lot of surfaces as long as the surfaces dry fast enough to not smear as it leaves the printer.
However, longevity of a dye print can be EXTREMELY bad if printed on some surfaces that are no guaranteed for longevity with that PARTICULAR dye ink formulation.
The best example is the oldest photo dye ink sets from the epson stylus color.
I used to print photos with mine, and within two days there was often a huge amount of magenta drift. It wasn't even drift such as "hm. something looks a little off with that photo" It was more like "what the hell is wrong with that picture!?"
The longest a print lasted me was about 21 days I think.
Anyway, modern dye inksets are a lot better on any medium, but I wouldn't bet on years of longevity except on manufacturer guaranteed papers.
From that standpoint pigment inks are far better as they may fade as well, but it will generally take MUCH longer.
William Pesch wrote:
I see mention of many type of papers here in this forum and have some questions.
Basically, can dye type printers print on canvas (paper)? Silk type paper? Are these really canvas and silk or are they photo paper with a special surface or texture?
What about some of the other special papers mentioned therein?
Or, can dye type printers only print on generic type 'swellable' papers? Ceramic coated?
Thank you,

Around a long rectangular table, Georgina Chapman sat with her partner Karen as they gleamed over at a board that at the time contained 35 looks–these, the ones that would show the following day at Vanderbilt Hall where the duo would host their Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show in Midtown New York. Chapman sat with a computer by her side, looking over the music on her screen.
"We've been working with Rene four years," she told me about the man behind the tunes. According to her description, Rene, whose got a knack for matching music to vibes and subsequently clothing too, comes into the studio a few weeks before the show, takes a look at the clothes or what is there of the clothes, absorbs the alleged concept, gathers inspiration from the designers and conjures up the perfect tunes. In this case, there was an inevitable and quite obvious air of Bollywood about the music he had projected.
The two Marchesa designers sat side by side staring at the model board while listening to the music through the entire soundtrack, (a combination of five songs, some more understated and staccato than others, a couple more interesting, lively and loud,) timing each song with the speculated seconds each model would spend walking.
"What do you think?" They asked me. Rene had seemingly nailed it on the head. The soundtrack spoke to the irreverence and old glam about the collection. It was hard to suppose anything but bright pink embroidery along with the tunes brought forward.
My eyes began to wander down below the table. Chapman noticed and was quick to squat down on her knees and explain to me that the plastic boxes I had grown fixated on contained samples of the fabrics she had used for the show.
"They're all from India, each and every one," she explained. This particular embroidery had caught my eye, instantaneously watching the graphic illustrated version taped to the paper at bottom right become 3D couture fabric rendered a feeling nothing less than romantic.
And when the fabric finally became a dress yesterday at 5PM, I couldn't help but think about all the bright pink this season has mandated. It's like a collective homage to Lisa Frank is making strides and in this case, splashing a dose of debutant too. As for the rest of the collection, come back soon…I'll tell you all about it.

Tango Grill Café
12 Chelmsford St., Chelmsford
978-256-5540 www.tangogrillcafe.com
Open for breakfast and lunch, Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; dinner: Friday and Saturday, 5 to 10 p.m.
Major credit cards accepted
Accessible to the handiapped
When Nashua residents Peter Varas and Diana Garcia opened Tango Grill Café in Chelmsford for breakfast and lunch in January 2008, Garcia said their goal was to create a quaint, "homey" place where they could delight customers with exceptional food and personal attention. Since adding dinner hours last September, the husband and wife team also have been able to share more of the Argentine and Chilean dishes in which they specialize.
During our visit on a recent Saturday night, our party of four enjoyed a variety of American and South American specialties. For appetizers, the Italiana salad ($8) featured four large, ripe tomato slices, each topped with a thin slice of mozzarella cheese, basil, and drizzled olive oil on a bed of lettuce. While we enjoyed it, we were even more impressed with the flavorful chorizo ($5), a long, grilled Argentine sausage served with diced tomatoes, onions, and capers.
Even a simple, complimentary basket of warm, crusty French bread was made special with a delicious, cilantro-based dipping sauce that Varas makes himself. When one member of our party praised it during Varas's visit to our table, Varas eagerly asked if he'd like to try a spicier version, which was also enthusiastically received.
Because everything is made to order, patrons should be prepared for a noticeable but not unreasonable wait for entrees to be prepared. Of the house specials that can be prepared for one ($24) or two ($36) people, we ordered a single serving of paella Valenciana, which had a plentiful amount of chorizo, pork sausage, chicken, shrimp, scallops, clams, and mussels cooked in fragrant yellow saffron rice flecked with diced red peppers.
This dish was notable in taste and presentation, with an assortment of colors, subtle flavors that naturally blended, and the visual appeal of mussels rising from all four corners of the dish. The diner was initially hesitant to order it, noting that rice dishes can be risky because of the tendency to under- or overcook them, but she was pleased with her decision.
The pez espada a la parrilla ($24), or grilled swordfish, was tender and well seasoned after marinating in a pleasing combination of white wine, garlic, lemon juice, onions, and parsley. Another selection from the seafood portion of the menu, milanesa de lenguado ($17), was sole that had been breaded, lightly fried, and topped with thick prosciutto, a rich homemade red sauce, and cheese so that it resembled chicken Parmesan.
For side items, our seafood diners ordered mixed vegetables (a combination of broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower) that were serviceable, though they seemed bland in comparison to the butternut squash that stood out with strong flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon.
The steak special ($24) was a 14-ounce top sirloin cooked in red wine and beef stock. It was moist and perfectly cooked to the diner's medium specification. The accompanying broccoli was firm and the creamy mashed potatoes were garlicky without being overpowering.
Although we weren't hungry enough for dessert, we would have had a variety of options, including flan con dulce de leche (custard with caramel sauce) for $5.50; Panqueque con dulce de leche (crepe with caramel filling) for $8; brazo de reina (sponge cake with caramel filling sprinkled with powdered sugar) for $8; torta de mil hojas (layers of filo dough with caramel sauce) for $8; and tiramisu (Italian layer cake) for $6.
Instead, we enjoyed another glass of refreshing, homemade sangria, which was stocked with enough sliced fruit to be considered a meal in itself.

Cherington noncommittal regarding Wakefield
MILWAUKEE — Earlier today, the agent for Tim Wakefield made some provocative comments regarding the knuckleballer.
"He loves being a Red Sock and he loves being a baseball player," Barry Meister said. "If for some reason they don't feel like he can play, well he's going to win 15 games somewhere else and show them that, once again, they've underestimated him."
Ben Cherington's response was noncommittal.
"I think we owe it to Tim to be able to present to him exactly what the opportunity would be, if any," he said.
"If any." That's cold-blooded. It's be very interesting to see where this leads. The Red Sox may be in a mode of clearing out as many old faces as they can.
As to other matters:
• There are now reports that Mike Maddux withdrew from consideration by the Cubs for family reasons. Perhaps that is what pushed Chicago toward Dale Sveum.
• There is nothing official with Sveum going the Cubs. Sveum has great respect for the Red Sox and is sure to go back to them and get their final thoughts before he makes any decision. But all signs point to Sveum going to the Cubs.
• The Red Sox have gone 48 days without a manager. The Cardinals hired Mike Matheny in 12 days and the Cubs (apparently) settled on Sveum in 14 days.
• I think Sveum could have done a fine job as manager in Boston. But would have been a tough sell to fans based on his adventures as third base coach in 2004-05. He also didn't strike me as somebody who would be particularly comfortable with the media, a factor given the exhaustive coverage of the team.
My personal belief is that teams known their own people best. That being the case, Sveum was passed up by Milwaukee to be manager in 2008 and in 2010. That's a red flag.
• Cherington met with Bob Garber tonight. He represents C.J. Wilson and Roy Oswalt.
• Torey Lovullo, anybody? Or could the Red Sox be bold and hire Sandy Alomar Jr.?
• Still think Trey Hillman deserves a shot.

Graham agrees to debate GOP challengers
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has agreed to debate his challengers three days before South Carolina's Republican primary.
The event scheduled June 7 will be hosted by South Carolina Educational Television and several of the state's newspapers.
It would be the first time Graham has debated his opponents on the campaign trail. Some of the six candidates challenging him for the Republican nomination have previously debated each other.
Two Democrats - state Sen. Brad Hutto of Orangeburg and Jay Stamper of Irmo - and Libertarian Victor Kocher also are running for Graham's Senate seat.
Graham is seeking a third term in the Senate. His Republican opponents say he isn't conservative enough for South Carolina and tries too hard to compromise with Democrats.Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Abegi Well Renewal - South Sudan
This project is made possible through the partnership of Water Charity and the National Peace Corps Association, working with Water is Basic.
This begins Phase 2 of our South Sudan Well Rehab Program. The program began with the Tore region, which became the center of a new wave of violence. These new projects are being done along the Yei River, of Yei State. We continue with multiple well rehabs in Yei County, where many are displaced from the last two years of violence in the Unity and Jonglei States.
Abegi,Yei River County, Yei State, South Sudan; a community that is located 7 miles west of Yei Town.
Community Description
Abegi is a town of 500, rich in family connection and support. The families shared their single borehole with a neighboring church until the well broke. While mostly dependent on livestock and produce agriculture, some Abegi residents also run small businesses to increase their family's income. Entrepreneurship and woodworking are beautiful rarities that a few of the Abegi residents dabble in when the opportunity for work in these fields presents itself.
Problem Addressed
There is no accessible, clean source of water for the rural residents of the Abegi village. This almost guarantees the illness, and likely death, of many of the village's children, especially those under the age of five. The residents currently fetch water, for drinking and cooking, from dirty wells, streams, and small rivers: anything that they can stumble across that is closest and cleanest, that day.
The world's newest nation is still struggling with the cultural significance of gender equality. Because of this, the women particularly suffer from lack of close and clean water. Men still openly beat their wives and daughters when they feel their women are taking too long in fetching water for the family. The men blame the extra time spent searching for water on their assumptions that their wives are cheating on them. Forced to focus on the family's well-being, the women rarely have the opportunity to go to school and participate in an equalizing social arena that will help all genders empathetically and logically understand the other sex.
With so many in the village relying on the same shallow water sources for water, women, such as Diana, suffer. Still living at home at the age of 20, Diana cares for her parents and siblings. One day her father demanded she walk 1 ½ miles to find water for him to bathe in. After waiting in line for the majority of her trip, Diana's father beat her as soon as she came home, infuriated by the length of time it took her to return.
Project Description
This project is in collaboration with Water is Basic, a locally owned and operated water drilling company. Over the last 8 years Water is Basic has been a reliable company in South Sudan, drilling and rehabilitating boreholes since 2008.
This project is to rehabilitate the well to bring it back to full functionality. It should only take 1-2 days to complete.
The Water is Basic crew will take the pump apart, and removie all the pipes to examine and check for holes or signs of future problems. Piping will be replaced and all repairs will be made to the head of the borehole.
Project Impact
While the project will help all 500 residents, the women will most benefit from the borehole repair. By providing them a local and healthy source of water, their commute time will be cut down immensely, decreasing the physical abuse within families and providing a greater chance for many more girls to both attend school and help out at home.
Project Director
Steve Roese
Steve is President of Water is Basic U.S. An entrepreneur and pastor, Steve has been involved in South Sudan since 2004 where he has fought alongside his brothers and sisters for peace and opportunity. His motto is "whatever it takes" and he means it when it comes to building the new nation of the Republic of South Sudan.
Monitoring and Maintenance
Since the borehole was drilled, the community has been proud that they immediately formed a committee to ensure proper usage and washing techniques around the deep well. Having lived a long life, the well is finally in disrepair, and work is needed to get iit up and running once again. The committee will attempt to raise funds from the struggling community.
The focus has been, and will continue to be, in monitoring the water usage for borehole-sustainability. The four-member committee will now introduce a required contribution of 5 ssp a month to build up a savings necessary for future repair. The committee will continue their educational practices with the community, through their regular washing training days and daily cleaning maintenance.
Water is Basic's strengths come from the experienced local personnel. These individuals lead the nonprofit's mission with determination and skill, guiding the country to develop self-sustaining water systems, managed and operated by local villages. It is the mission, of these projects to build communities and empower the Sudanese to implement solutions for their water crisis on their own.
Water Is Basic operates an internship program where local, promising secondary school graduates manage our projects for one year. Two recent graduates from Nehemiah Gateway University, in Albania, oversaw interns and the projects the interns were directing. In exchange for their work, the interns are given access to distance learning courses and are then assisted in applying for, and attending, their university of choice.
Although this is not officially a Let Girls Learn project, it is clear that girls will receive great benefit from this project and have more time to attend school.

Joliet Catholic freshman guard Nicole Ekhomu missed both of her 3-point attempts and struggled from the free-throw line Thursday.
She also played nearly the whole game in foul trouble.
Instead, Ekhomu relied on her driving ability and defense to finish with 36 points and six steals in No. 20 Joliet Catholic's 73-70 East Suburban Catholic Conference victory against No. 6 Fenwick.

In August Wilson's dazzling "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," every forlorn soul is looking for someone, even if that just means looking for themselves. That's the opposite of the relationship between the late, great American scribe and Chicago's Congo Square Theatre Company. Wilson and Congo Square knew -- know -- each other intimately.
Paradoxically, it takes a play about the lost to fully illuminate the closeness of the bond between the late writer and the young theater company he told me was his favorite.

The sale of new automobiles has been growing steadily and reached a 9 year high of 1.6 million automobiles in the month of May. Demand for cars such as sports utility vehicles and pickup trucks increased, resulting in higher sales. Hence, automobile retailers too witnessed growing sales.
Ford (NYSE:F) too registered growth in sales for the month of May, especially in the markets of China and U.S. Europe was the only market where sales declined 0.9% over last year. Let us analyze further.
Speeding ahead
The sales decline in the European market is mainly because of unusually higher sales in May 2013. May 2013 witnessed a jump in sales because of sudden jolt since there was a disruption in supplies for a few months before that. Hence, sales were up more than what it should have been.
However, if we compare it on a year-to-date basis, the picture will get clearer. Sales for the first five months of 2014 actually surged 7.7% over last year's period. Further, it is more than the industry average of 6.6%. This has resulted in an increase in Ford's market share in Europe, which stands at 7.9%.

- F 30-Year Financial Data
- The intrinsic value of F
- Peter Lynch Chart of F
Also, Ford's commercial vehicle sales soared 12.8% in the month of May, resulting in an increase of market share to 10.5%.
Other markets
The automaker did exceptionally well in China, the largest automotive market. Sales jumped 32% in May over the prior year. Some of the best selling models were that of the Fiesta and Focus which largely dominated the Chinese market. Focus' sales jumped a whopping 50% over last year, clocking in at 403,000 vehicles in 2013. In fact, Ford was able to outpace two rivals in China, Toyota and Honda, in the last one year.
Furthermore, Ford's launch of models such as Explorer, Kuga (also known as Escape), and Mondeo (also known as Fusion) should help in driving sales in the region. This will help the car retailer in expanding its market share in China. Also, it will be introducing Escort and Mustang in the coming months.
The company also performed well in the U.S. as Fusion and Escape continued to drive revenue higher. Sales increased 15% and 10% for Fusion and Escape, respectively. However, the most popular F-Series witnessed a 4.3% decline in May. Nonetheless, the new F-150 is expected to be launched during this year, which should boost sales.
In fact, Ford's latest quarter performance was also good wherein its top line grew over last year. Its wholesale volume also rose 6% over the previous year, which drove revenue higher. Additionally, the automaker is expected to introduce 23 new vehicles which should be a winning move for the company. Ford is also doing research on the use of tomato fibers in composite materials for vehicles. This will be in addition to eight bio-based materials already being used by the company.
Conclusive thoughts
Ford is paving its way to a bright future. Its growing sales and market share in all the markets are clear indications of its success. Moreover, it reaffirmed its guidance and raised its dividends by 25%. These factors, coupled with new launches to be made by the next year, makes Ford a worthy investment.

Welcome to The Vegan Cookbook Aficionado!
Being as I'm a complete and utter cookbook junkie, this blog originally started out as a way for me to document my trials and tribulations of cooking through my collection, but has since taken on a mind of its own!
Even though I first started out as a pretty horrible cook (does warming up canned soup count as cooking?), I've since started experimenting with my own recipes and get overly excited anytime something turns out! It only makes sense that I would share my excitement with you all. I love veganizing my favourite comfort foods and creating baked treats but my most recent obsession is brunch! Plus it never hurts to show people that a vegan life-style can not only be compassionate but down right mouthwateringly delicious too!
Want to know a little more?
Well let me tell ya a little about myself. My name is Megan A.K.A. Maggie Muggins (thanks to a nickname given by a friend) and although born and raised in small town Newfoundland, I currently reside within the never-ending flat lands and blue skies of Alberta. I'm an ethical vegan (in case you were wondering) and share my home with my talented male counterpart Philip and our rescue kitties Apollo and Quack. When I'm not eating and taking pictures of food you can find me reading, snuggling with cats, teaching fitness classes at my local gym, learning everything I can about everything, daydreaming about my fantasy vegan bakery, playing with my camera and doing what I like to do best, baking!
Have any questions or just want to say hey? Feel free to send me a message!

(Deceased August 29, 2010) Like several of his colleagues, retirement was not retirement in the traditional sense. Robert P. Biller remained an active member of the USC community as a member of the Retired Faculty Association, for which he served as president in 2005–07. In this position, he worked closely with the USC Emeriti Center to create a greater understanding about retirement issues for retirees and for those getting ready to retire. He continued to serve on the Emeriti Center's Executive Committee until 2009 and participated in numerous projects and events. During 2007–08, Bob served on the Academic Senate and its Faculty Environment Committee as well as the university's Committee on Academic Policies and Programs. His goal was to emphasize the importance of retirees and to draw the university's attention to this invaluable resource. He also remained a consultant to the director of the Skirball Center in West Los Angeles, where he had volunteered for more than twenty years, and was a Fellow of the California Council on Science and Technology. He did what he enjoyed doing most and declined the unenjoyable. For Bob Biller, this was the best part of retirement—being active because he wanted to be, not because he had to!
Dr. Robert P. Biller (Professor Emeritus, School of Policy, Planning, and Development) came to USC in 1976 as the Dean of Public Administration. He went on to serve in several other positions including Vice President for External Affairs, Vice President for Undergraduate Affairs, and Executive Vice Provost. In 1993 he returned to the School of Public Administration where he taught mainly freshman courses and then helped to merge the School of Public Administration with the School of Urban Development, which then became the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development. After the development of the school, he served as its interim dean from 1998–2000. Among other accomplishments, he was able to establish an endowment for the School of Public Administration and reinstate the production of the campus course catalog in the mid-1980s after a seventeen-year gap in publication. He received USC's Presidential Medallion in 1998. He retired from his full-time status in 2001. Bob is survived by his wife, Yvonne, son and daughter-in-law Martin and Elisa, and grandchildren Jason Benjamin and Rachel Elizabeth. He was predeceased by his son Kevin Michael.
"Retirement should not be viewed as a loss but an opportunity to do new things. This is a time when people can do the things they did not have time to do while working full time. There are things you should plan for such as finances and health care. The sooner the better, for this way if something unexpected comes up you won't be unprepared. Keep track of your own health records, too. This is especially important because the older one gets, the more likely they may be to have an incomplete health record and no access to earlier records."

Submission + - Explaining the Dangers of Privacy Intrusion
thehorse writes: I'm the typical
/. nut, and get angry whenever there is a news story about governments reducing their citizens' privacy rights. My wife, however, doesn't understand why it's such a big deal that the government could read our emails or bank accounts, track our movements in our cars, capture us on public video cameras, etc. I've tried to explain to her the slippery slope involved, and try to illustrate how losing our personal privacy can turn us into the societies like ones depicted in 1984, or a slew of other sci-fi literature/movies, but she still doesn't get it. And probably because I'm not the best story-teller.
Since my wife isn't a

Really outstanding property, clean & close to everything you'd need. Owners very helpful and informative. Very quiet and serene area and environment. Beach is stellar. If you keep your eyes open, there is some really unique/rare aquatic/animal wildlife to see.
My wife and kids have stayed here twice now, and we would definitely stay again. Everything is very well appointed and we love the pool in the back. The bathrooms had been remodeled since our last stay and that is a great upgrade. The beach is very close with private access, and the house is equipped with everything you would need for a trip to the beach.
I've stayed at this property twice now and look forward to the third time!
We found HEAVEN ON EARTH...Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, secluded, quiet yet close enough to everything when we wanted more "action"! Lauderdale-By-The-Sea/Pompano Beach is our favorite vacation destination! We visited this area when we were young then brought our own children here. Now we return as empty nesters. We're familiar/knowledgable/experienced with this area and accommodations. Over time we've come to appreciate renting a private vacation home versus staying at hotels. We know what you get (and don't get) for your money. The rental price for this property is very reasonable based on high quality of this beautiful home! Our visit here spring 2016 was by far our best experience ever! The first thing we noticed upon arriving after many hours of travel from cold/snowy northern Ohio was the lovely entrance to this neighborhood with pretty tropical landscaping. When we entered the driveway we immediately felt a sense of warmth/comfort! The flowers/tropical trees/patio furniture seemed to sing: "Welcome to sunny south Florida!" The owner, Mr. Viet Luong, keeps this property in perfect condition! He's pleasant to do business with:) Prior to renting this property he was polite answering any questions we had. He is prompt/professional with payment confirmation/rental contracts. This property provides plenty of nice dishes/pots-pans/paper products (foil/wrap/paper towels/coffee filters/laundry/dish detergent) EVERYTHING you need. Includes: grill on back patio/well constructed picnic table/other nice furniture. Beach chairs/pool towels/rafts were ready for our enjoyment! If you love boats/jet skis/paddle boards this is the place for you! It has an enormous dock! The house is a short walk/drive from the lovely El Mar Beach Club private beach. Upon entering the white iron gates you escape to Paradise with tropical foliage/nice tables/chairs/built-in grills/shaded areas with seating to escape from the sun. At "home" we enjoyed relaxing on the spacious patio/deck overlooking the lovely pool/spa and intercostal waterway:) Free WiFi/strong signal a plus while relaxing on gorgeous screened patio or anywhere in house/yards:) Appliances/TVs/cooling system in excellent working order! NO insects/creatures indoors. It's rare to find these qualities in rental units! Pool/spa controlled with remote device. We weren't sure how to operate remote. The owner was quick to show us how to use the pool/spa control. We were thrilled and can't wait to return! THANK YOU
Beautiful place, house very clean, safe and friendly. The neighbor is a quiet place, the view is fantastic and the beach is outstanding with bbq, tables and palms also showers and private parking. Mr Viet very helpful and confident. Perfect place for fun and relax!! we will back for sure!!
Hermoso lugar, la casa muy limpia, segura y amigable. el barrio es muy tranquilo, la vista es fantástica y la playa es impresionante con parrillas mesas y palmeras donde también hay duchas y estacionamiento privado. Es el lugar perfecto para disfrutar y relajarse! Volveremos siempre!!

It's the NFL offseason and as usual speculation is rampant about which players could go where. For perhaps the first time in NFL history the two leading conversation topics are players that didn't play a single game last season, Randy Moss and Peyton Manning. Each player has been tossed around to various teams they could wind up signing with and the 49ers have been mentioned in both cases. Here are the breakdowns of each player and their possible impact with the 49ers.
Randy Moss:
Moss's statistical history is staggering. 153 touchdowns and over 14,000 yards receiving. His first 10 years in the league he was on a pace to surpass some of the all-time great Jerry Rice in a few categories. Now, however those days seem like ancient history. He is now 35 years old and didn't even play in the league last season as teams decided he wasn't worth any potential damage he could bring into the locker room. His last full season he played for three different teams, the last of which were the Tennessee Titans where Moss played in 8 games and managed only 6 catches for 80 yards. Randy Moss and ESPN analyst and former NFL wide receiver Chris Carter claim Moss can still a 4.3 in the 40 yard dash. If that is really accurate, the next question is how many times will Moss put out that kind of effort and how many times will he just take a play off. The 49ers definitely need help at the wide receiver position but if they are looking to get a reliable speedy deep route receiver they can just resign Ted Ginn Jr. Who is one of the fastest players in the league, knows the offense and is also a kick return specialist. There are odds out there putting the 49ers chances of signing Randy Moss at 5:1. My advice, don't bet on it.
Peyton Manning:
Peyton Manning has pretty much done it all in his career. He has thrown for over 50,000 yards and almost 400 touchdowns. He is a true master of the game and if and when he does retire he will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play. Currently with his injury situation and the Colts making changes and appearing ready to move on without Manning in their future, speculation has put Manning and the 49ers in the same sentence. 49ers fans a year ago would have jumped at this opportunity before the career threatening neck surgeries Manning underwent along with the career year of Alex Smith and the team being a score away from the Super Bowl. Now everyone is approaching the situation much more cautiously. My own opinion has always been that Peyton Manning will never play again. Even if that's wrong, with an injury to the neck and regenerating nerves to regain arm strength the 49ers would have to be willing to put it all on the line to sign Manning. Even without the lingering health issues, would Manning and Harbaugh be able to co-exist as coach and quarterback when one could argue that both of them are coach and quarterback anyway? Couple those issues with the injury questions along the 49ers relative play it safe mentality in free agency and it seems the end of Peyton Manning's career will not be in San Francisco

Current Records
First, I encourage you to join The Freshwater Water
Fishing Hall of Fame, a non-profit Museum/Educational organization supported entirely by public donations. The FFHOF is the group that tracks and recognizes Freshwater records. BAG is a group member, but individual memberships go a long way to supporting this non-profit. The quarterly "Splash" is great reading, and this month on the cover a surprise photo of the Perry WR B@$$ - something thought not to exist. The annual record book is also a benefit of membership (will your name be in there next?), as is submission of records, an otherwise $20 fee. The following is an excerpt of the Bowfin Records from that book. Join! Enter! Load these tables with BAG members!
In June 2007, we welcomed BrianR from New York and his record-crushing Catch and Release World Record Bowfin, a 37 inch monster! The old record of 28" was obliterated. Who's next?

It wasn't the worst night, but Snow Canyon is good. We haven't faced competition like that in a few weeks. Our line wasn't used to getting pushed around as much. They played really well, but it was a tough night for our offense. —Juan Diego quarterback Cole Nelson
DRAPER — Juan Diego hasn't received a true scare since the second week of the season and hasn't been challenged remotely for the last several weeks. In Friday's 3AA quarterfinal game against Snow Canyon, the Soaring Eagle only led 14-13 in the second quarter.
"Coming off the bye week and the competition we played before — a lot of the starters weren't even playing a full game," Juan Diego quarterback Cole Nelson said. "We haven't had a three-and-out in a few weeks — we haven't punted."
The Warriors had just closed the gap with Warner Rigby's second touchdown pass to Zach Kennedy from 35 yards out when Juan Diego's Cameron Hansen caught the kickoff at the 22-yard line and the game changed.
Hansen took the kick to the house and provided much-needed points on a night where the offense struggled and Juan Diego remained perfect with a 42-28 win to earn a spot in the semifinals.
"I've had faith in him on returning, and once I saw him get past that kicker I was so stoked," Nelson said. "With me playing defense also, it kind of gave me a break and I could relax mentally. At quarterback it's a lot of thinking — it was nice to know that we were up a score, especially how our offense was playing tonight."
Jessie Springer finished with two rushing touchdowns while Nelson and Chase Williams each added one score. Nelson also connected with Gabe Colosimo on a 31-yard touchdown strike.
"It wasn't the worst night, but Snow Canyon is good," Nelson said. "We haven't faced competition like that in a few weeks. Our line wasn't used to getting pushed around as much. They played really well, but it was a tough night for our offense."
Rigby finished with three passing touchdowns with Cole Mooring and Kennedy on the receiving end of the other two. Trevor Horlacher also scored on a four-yard run.16 comments on this story
Juan Diego returns to the semifinals for the fifth time in six years after Dixie ruined its 12-0 season with a 14-13 win on its way to the state championship last season. The Soaring Eagle will play Pine View at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Thursday at 11 a.m.
"I get sick to my stomach thinking about it," Nelson said of last year's abrupt ending. "Personally, I think we could have beat Dixie last year but we overlooked them. We know this year not only to take it one game at a time but to take it one play at a time."

Cleft Lip
Cleft lip is a treatable birth defect of the mouth that appears as one or more splits (clefts) in the upper lip. Cleft lip can range from a small indentation in the lip (incomplete cleft) to a split in the lip that may extend up into one or both nostrils (complete cleft), and possibly into the palate.
Cleft lip forms early in fetal development. It can be caused from genetic factors or maternal environmental exposures during pregnancy, such as drinking alcohol or using tobacco.
Cleft lip often occurs with cleft palate. These conditions are the most common birth defects of the head and neck. Cleft lip, whether it occurs alone or with cleft palate, is more common in males. Most cases of cleft lip involve only one side of the upper lip and only very rarely occur in the lower lip.
Cleft lip is corrected with surgery, usually within a newborn's first 3 to 6 months. Depending on the type and severity of the deformity, more than one surgery may be needed. Sometimes other treatments, such as speech therapy, are also beneficial. Feeding by bottle or at the breast usually doesn't require any special measures.

It's one thing for the a clinic to open up in the local shopping mall -- this is a bit different. By now you've probably heard that Mayo Clinic will be launching a presence in the Mall of America, that internationally-known mega mall in Minnesota. What's this have to do with research? Nothing directly, other than where Mayo goes, so goes the awareness and corresponding benefits of its research findings. While the specific of Mayo's presence will be announced over coming months, the thousands who pass through that venue annually will also learn that this institution is far more than simply an excellent tertiary treatment center. It's a fact that Mayo receives the most federal medical research dollars in Minnesota. It's also a fact that we train medical scientists as well as physicians. I could go on. The point is that location is still important and hanging a shingle in the mall makes Mayo -- and its research leadership -- that much more visible. Stay tuned.

Archival Inkjet Print, 38" x 30"
In this body of work titled "On Paper", I explore notions of identity, homeland and mobility. Drawing from my transcultural experience, I investigate bureaucratic travel identification documents to examine the ways in which our identities are validated across borders. I recontextualize various passports' watermarks into large-scale landscapes by employing methods of appropriation, scanning, and digital manipulation. I transform bureaucratic information to construct metaphors of our collective transit and identity.

Baseball / Modi'in Takes Championship After Wild Game
Lefty ace Yoni Alter stars in 7-6 win
Modi'in defeated Tel Aviv 7-6 on a walk-off walk in the final game of the best-of-three Israel Baseball Premiere League championship series for the fall season Monday.
Lefty ace Yoni Alter pitched seven strong innings for Modi'in, yielding only one earned run, and Jesse Sultanik was credited with the win after coming in to pitch the final two innings.
Player-coach Dan Rothem was the pitcher of record for Tel Aviv, appearing in relief of starting pitcher Amit Kurz and reliever Orr Gottlieb.
Modi'in won the first game in the series 12-7, but Tel Aviv came back to tie the series with a 7-1 trouncing behind Gottlieb's brilliant complete game pitching performance.
The game proved to be one of the most exciting in IAB history.
The lead changed 8 times over the 9 innings played. Good defensive plays were accompanied by costly errors and base running blunders.
With the game tied, Jesse Sultanik singled to center to lead off the bottom of the 9th. Yoni Alter reached first safely on a sacrifice bunt and a costly error by the first baseman, with Sultanik advancing to third on the play.
The dangerous Noam Markose was intentionally walked to create a force at home, but then Rothem uncharacteristically walked David Rael-Brook to force home the winning run.
Tel Aviv struck first with two runs in the top of the 3rd inning highlighted by a clutch single to deep left field by Gottlieb. Modi'in struck back with three runs led by a key hit by Markose and helped by a Tel Aviv error.
Tel Aviv's Yuli Tsypin scored the tying run with a solid single and heads up baserunning in the 5th, but Modi'in regained the lead in the bottom of the inning with David Rael-Brook's two-RBI single.
Tel Aviv tied again in the top of the 7th with Rothem driving in two runs on a fielder's choice, and Modi'in evened the score in the bottom of the 7th.
Golden chance
Modi'in had a golden chance to take the lead in the bottom of the 8th after leadoff batter Josh Alter was awarded second base on an obstruction call and Jeff Mor reached first on an infield single, sending Alter to third. Mor, 44, then stole second and Modi'in had two runners in scoring position with no outs.
But Rothem came in and rose to the challenge striking out the next three batters. Tel Aviv scored the tying run in the top of the 9th after Kurz reached second on an outfield error and third on a passed ball and scored on Tsypin's ground out to second base.
Gottlieb also found himself on second base after an error in the outfield, Rothem was intentionally walked and Saltzman hit a ground ball to short which got only the runner at second.
Gottlieb crossed home on the play with the potential lead run, but was called out on appeal for missing home plate.

New Class of Insecticide
Research teams at Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd., Bayer CropScience and DuPont have developed two new broad-spectrum insecticides that show promise as safer and more effective ways to fight pest insects that damage food crops, according to the University of Florida Web site.
The insecticides, which represent the first synthetic compounds designed to activate a novel insecticide target called the ryanodine receptor, may also help tackle the growing problem of insecticide resistance. Currently, many of the most widely used insecticides today act on only a handful of exploited physiological targets, such as those that interfere with acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that helps control nerve activity. Some experts are concerned that resistance and cross-resistance may lead to reduced efficacy, so there are efforts to replace these materials with those that have a different mode of action.
Targeting the ryanodine receptor may offer a promising alternative. Ryanodine, a natural alkaloid discovered years ago in a species of tropical plant, has been used to study muscle physiology in a wide variety of organisms, including insects and mammals. Ryanodine receptors regulate muscle and nerve activities by modifying levels of internal calcium in these cells. These receptors exist in both mammals and insects but have distinct differences. Researchers have known that ryanodine itself has insecticidal properties, but until now, no synthetic molecules that potently and selectively target these receptors in insects had been identified.
Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd., based in Japan, and Bayer CropScience AG in Germany have jointly developed flubendiamide, the first example of the phthalic acid diamides, a novel group of insecticides that activate the ryanodine receptor. The insecticide is highly effective against many different species of caterpillars, said Masanori Tohnishi, a senior research scientist at Nihon Nohyaku. In early tests, the compound showed high activity against the tobacco budworm, which is known to cause serious damage to cotton, tobacco and other crops. The compound did not have any measurable effect on mammalian ryanodine receptors, according to Peter Lüümmen, Ph.D., a research scientist at Bayer CropScience.
