These are fake worms, or at least I think they are. Somebody laced these fake worms with magnets to make them act much more wormy (read: creepy) than real worms do.
Supposedly, there are cylindrical magnets embedded in these plastic bait worms and opposing magnets inside the wood base. To make the fake worms squirm around like that, and in turn make me squeamish, the magnets in the base would probably have to be rotating in and out.
The lesson? If you take something already creepy in real life and turn it fake, it only gets more creepy. [Propnomicon via Make]

While I was off last week, the Christmas holiday was annoyed by the media-juiced "Duck Dynasty" affair.
Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Robertson family, stars of the A&E hit show, said some things about homosexual sex in a GQ magazine interview that are not unusual, although he was indelicate in his choice of words when he explained that the sexual body parts of males and females form a logical connection. Of course, they do. That's why we keep having new generations of people.
Now, about half the country believes as Robertson does, according to a Pew poll, especially if the couple want to create new life. But a growing number of people say male-to-male or female-to-female sex is all right, too. Others just aren't sure. He expressed his point view, and people are free to agree or disagree. I'm not bothered by it.
Robertson also said some things about race that he believed to be true:
"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field ... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' - not a word! ... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."
He's describing the context in which he, an extremely poor white kid with six brothers and sisters, worked in fields alongside black people who were equally poor. He didn't hear them complaining about whites. And I'm sure he didn't. Southern blacks in the 1950s knew better than to complain about whites, even poor ones, in mixed company. The South may have lost the Civil War in 1865, but that didn't sink in for about 100 years in the rebel states.
But Robertson also describes the blacks he worked with as "godly," which a man of faith would not say unless he meant it.
Robertson is not just some oaf from the backwoods near Shreveport, La. According to duckcommander.com, Robertson has a master's degree in education from Louisiana Tech University and was a teacher in Louisiana schools before returning to his first love, hunting, and eventually starting the Duck Commander company, now a multimillion-dollar business.
Robertson's views on race are the same as those I've heard hundreds of times from white Southerners and their copperhead brethren here in the North. It's comfortable for them to feel that way.
But I've also heard hundreds of times from blacks who grew up in the South during the 1950s and 1960s, about a far different racial atmosphere - how they got the hand-me-down books from the white schools, how their parents couldn't vote without passing impossible tests, how they couldn't go to restaurants or stay in hotels and had to use segregated restrooms, if there were any. Oh, and how it was illegal for blacks to marry whites.
Robertson, who is 67, became an adult during the key years of the civil rights struggle, when in 1963, Gov. George Wallace, Democrat of Alabama, stood at the school house door to prevent two black students from joining the Crimson Tide. And in 1963 when four black children were killed in the Ku Klux Klan bombing of the 16th Avenue Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala.
And we could go on. But the point is, surely Robertson knew of the gross injustices being committed against blacks in the South. But everybody else knows those things, too. And yet the "blacks were happy campers in the old days" myth persists, even among smart, college-educated businessmen like Phil Robertson.

On Sunday and today I suffered from slowdown I think and maybe screen tearing issues or framerate problems and today one of these problems happened about 10 minutes into the game.
Now I have weighed up my options regarding the game and have come to the conclusion of putting the game to one side for now in the hope that these issues will be resolved with patches or an update because I was enjoying the game I mean it's not as good as the prior 2 games but still a very entertaining game.
I did actually consider thinking of trading it in and playing it again at a later date in the effort the bugs will have been fixed with the game but I think that maybe I should hold onto it because I actually got the game fairly cheap because I traded alot games I used to help me get credit note so I won't have to pay as much for the game and they were just sitting there collecting dust.
Also with it being a flat November and December as well apart from Ratchet and Clank I might be tempted to come back and play through it by the end of the year.
I mean for about the first 3 or 4 hours in it was running pretty well I just got to a certain part and it started playing up. Hopefully the issue can be fixed and one day I can return to it and hopefully beat it because I was enjoying it.

Amman - Jordan
31 October - 1 November 2000
Recommendation adopted by the Regional TIR Seminar
The TIR Convention and its Customs Transit Regime
Objectives of the Seminar
Participating TIR Experts
Programme summary
Date and Venue
The TIR Convention and its Customs Transit Regime
The TIR Convention of 1975, a treaty administered by the United Nations and open for accession by all of its member States, allows the international transport of goods in Customs sealed road vehicles from Customs offices in a country of departure to Customs offices in a country of destination, transiting through as many countries as necessary, without physical frontier control of the goods in transit and without deposit of Customs security.
These facilities to international transport and trade do not jeopardize national Customs control over import, export and transit procedures. Customs duties and taxes at risk in TIR transit are always guaranteed by an international TIR insurance system supervised by an inter-governmental organ, the TIR Executive Board, representing the States which are Contracting Parties to the TIR Convention.
Today 63 States are Parties to the TIR Convention and in more than 40 of these States the TIR Customs transit procedure is regularly used. Around 2.5 Million TIR Customs transit operations are carried out every year.
In the ESCWA region Jordan, Lebanon, Syrian Arab Republic and Kuwait have already ratified the TIR Convention and other countries are considering their accession.
Objectives of the Seminar
The Seminar will provide detailed information on the functioning of the TIR Customs transit regime, its advantages for Customs authorities and international transport and trade in the region. The Seminar will particularly focus on the roles and responsibilities of the various actors involved in TIR Customs transit operations (Governments, transport operators, national associations, insurance companies, the International Road Transport Union (IRU), the TIR Administrative Committee and the TIR Executive Board (TIRExB)). The Seminar will also allow for an open discussion and exchange of views on the present situation with regard to Customs transit in the region and on the possible application of the TIR regime.
The Seminar is organized by the TIR Executive Board (TIRExB) and its TIR secretariat, in close co-operation with the United Nations Economic Commissions for Europe (UN/ECE) and Western Asia (UN/ESCWA) and the Customs Department of the Ministry of Finance of Jordan.
Participation at the Seminar is free of charge for registered participants (please use attached registration form). Participants however are expected to cover their own travel costs, accommodation and other personal expenses. The Seminar is intended for senior Government officials responsible for Customs and trade policies as well as Customs transit procedures. It is also open to representatives of the private sector involved in international road transport, freight forwarding and Customs procedures. Governments and non-governmental organizations of the following countries have been invited to attend: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
Participating TIR Experts
The Seminar will be addressed by high-level officials and experts from the Ministries of Finance (Customs authorities) of France, Germany and Italy, the TIR secretariat, the UN/ECE and UN/ESCWA as well as by representatives of the International Road Transport Union (IRU).

I recently sat down with two leaders of the Financial Planning Association—Marv Tuttle, executive director and CEO, and Paul Auslander, FPA's president—to talk about the top issues facing advisors.
We began with the SEC's attempts to put brokers under a fiduciary mandate; the aging of the profession and its lack of diversity; the importance of practice management and succession planning; the Financial Planning Coalition's efforts in Washington; and how the younger generation of planners holds the key to moving the industry forward.
But something else is worrying the FPA: a drop in membership. As of May 1, FPA had 23,300 members, down 200 members since June 1, 2011, the start of FPA's fiscal year. This drop, which Tuttle attributes mainly to the challenging times advisory firms are facing as well as differences of opinion over certain issues, has prompted the trade group to launch an "aggressive" campaign for new members, "largely from those in the CFP community and those who believe in how FPA stands for the practice and profession of financial planning," Tuttle told me.
Tuttle says he believes there's a "great opportunity" in the coming year and next for FPA to grow its membership. "There is a resurgence in the use of the financial planning process as the core for financial and investment advisory relationships today. This should bode well for FPA as the professional home for financial planning." (This interview took place before Tuttle announced in early May that he plans to retire from his position in 2014.)
Tuttle acknowledged, however, that the FPA has to do a better job of communicating the value of membership for those who "believe in financial planning as a profession and the value of our efforts" to support members through everything from ongoing professional education to practice management programs.
Regarding whether the SEC's attempts to write a fiduciary rule will eventually be unveiled, Auslander says he's confident that the train has "already left the station;" now "it's just how it applies." SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro told me last month that she's hopeful the SEC can release a fiduciary duty proposal this year. Auslander argues that the debate has now moved on to how a fiduciary duty for all advice givers "is going to be applied—and there are many different iterations."
A fiduciary duty that would apply to all business models remains the biggest challenge, Auslander said, "but I think we can get it right." He also pointed out that serving in a fiduciary capacity is compensation neutral. "You can be a fiduciary if you're a commission broker or a fee-only planner," he said, acknowledging as well that all business and compensation models contain within themselves "a potential for conflict."
Both Auslander and Tuttle agreed that two pressing issues for the industry are practice management and succession planning. The FPA, Tuttle said, is putting "a greater focus on practice management, from A to Z" as well as how succession planning plays into that. Tuttle said an area where FPA "can excel" is in practice and business management, hoping to become a "go-to resource for financial planners and maybe others that can benefit from a professional standards standpoint."
Auslander, however, lamented the fact that FPA is tackling the issues of succession planning and practice management within the group "maybe later than we should have."
"There are a few cases where some folks have really thought it through," Tuttle said, referring to building actual succession plans, "but that's the exception rather than the rule."
The Diversity Issues
Tuttle conceded, too, that the industry is still in the early stages of "examining where we can make a difference in the diversity of those who practice financial planning and those who are receiving financial planning."
The industry is still predominantly made up of white males, with only 23% of FPA's members being women. "If we want to be seen as a profession, we have to figure out how to deliver this [financial planning] benefit to various segments of society," Tuttle said. The ratio of male and female financial planning practitioners needs to be closer, he said, to "50-50."
Auslander added that while more women are entering the industry in the United States, Japan and China have this country beat in that "most of their planners and CFPs are women."
With the average age of FPA members being 56 years old, Tuttle also noted the importance the younger generation plays in shaping the profession. "The younger generation is the one that is going to make financial planning stick," he said.
Hope of the Young
Tuttle and Auslander stopped to talk at Investment Advisor's Washington office during financial literacy week after having spent some time at Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, Va.—a campus that was marking the fifth anniversary of the 2007 rampage that left 32 students dead. Virginia Tech is one of nearly 100 colleges offering a baccalaureate program in financial planning.
Both Tuttle and Auslander enthused about the intelligence and vigor of the students whom they met at Virginia Tech who were about to enter the profession. "They get it, and they are hungry to find those opportunities to practice," Tuttle said, noting this younger generation of planners will be different from the previous generation, which took a more "entrepreneurial approach" to their careers.
Auslander noted that "every one" of the students they talked with had a job offer lined up—some as interns and others with full-time work—at both smaller RIA firms and larger firms. "You put these [students] into Ameriprise, Northwestern Mutual and Merrill Lynch and you'll have different companies than they are now," he said.

Every week, Tommy will excerpt a handful of stories - old and new, sports and otherwise, relevant and merely sublime - that he urges you to read for one reason or another. Today, I'm filling in. Still, send suggestions: firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Kentucky: May: Saturday," by William Faulkner (from Sports Illustrated, 1955)
Suggested readers: Racing enthusiasts who are stuck at home instead of smelling the roses, Faulknerphiles, those obsessed with Roger Sterling in blackface.
This saw Boone: the bluegrass, the virgin land rolling westward wave by dense wave from the Allegheny gaps, unmarked then, teeming with deer and buffalo about the salt licks and the limestone springs whose water in time would make the fine bourbon whiskey; and the wild men too-the red men and the white ones too who had to be a little wild also to endure and survive and so mark the wilderness with the proofs of their tough survival-Boonesborough, Owenstown, Harrod's and Harbuck's Stations; Kentucky: the dark and bloody ground.
And knew Lincoln too, where the old weathered durable rail fences enclose the green and sacrosanct pace of rounded hills long healed now from the plow, and big old trees to shade the site of the ancient one-room cabin in which the babe first saw light; no sound there now but such wind and birds as when the child first faced the road which would lead to fame and martyrdom-unless perhaps you like to think that the man's voice is somewhere there too, speaking into the scene of his own nativity the simple and matchless prose with which he reminded us of our duties and responsibilities if we wished to continue as a nation.
And knew Stephen Foster and the brick mansion of his song; no longer the dark and bloody ground of memory now, but already my old Kentucky home.
"Horseman, Pass By," by John Jeremiah Sullivan (from Harper's, 2002)
Suggested readers: Everyone.
A sportswriter gets used to people coming up to him in restaurants or at PTA meetings and taking issue with something he said in a column or on some call-in show. And my father was sensitive to the slightest criticism — really the slightest mention — of his writing, almost to the point of wincing, which may have stemmed from his having come to the job somewhat backward. As opposed to the typical sportswriter, who has a passion for the subject and can put together a sentence, my father's ambition had been to Write (poetry, no less), and sports were what he knew, so he sort of stumbled onto making his living that way. When the alternative weekly paper in Columbus, Ohio — where we moved when I was twelve so he could take a job writing for the Columbus Dispatch — started running a regular column entitled "The Sully," in which they would select and expand upon what they felt co be my father's most bizarre sentence from the previous week (e.g., "'Second base is still an undefined area that we haven't wrapped our arms around,' Tribe general manager John Hart said, sounding very much like a man about to have his face savagely bitten"), we were amazed by his pained reaction. The compliment behind the teasing would have heen plain to anyone else, but he would not have the thing in the house.
Two years ago, in May, I sat with him in his hospital room at Riverside Methodist, in Columbus. He was in recovery from what was supposed to have been a quintuple bypass operation but became, on the surgeon's actually seeing the heart, a sextuple bypass. There had, in the preceding year, already been the aneurysm surgery, then the surgery (unsuccessful) to repair the hernia caused by the aneurysm surgery. "My succession of infirmities," as he put it to me in a letter, "has tended finally to confront me with blunt intimations of mortality." Otherwise it was not a morbid scene. The last operation had gone well, and he seemed to be feeling better than he had any right to. The waning sedative and, I suppose, twenty-four hours without cigarertes had left him edgy, but he was happy to talk, which we did in whispers, because the old man with whom he was sharing a room that night had already gone to sleep.
I asked him to tell me what he remembered from all those yeats of writing about sports, for he had seen some things in his time: Michael Jordan at North Carolina, a teenage John McEnroe, Bear Bryant, the Big Red Machine in Cincinnati. This is what he told me:
I was at Secretariat's Derby, in '73, the year before you were born — l don't guess you were even conceived yet. That was ... just beauty, you know? He started in last place, which he tended to do. I was covering the second-place horse, which wound up being Sham. It looked like Sham's race going into the last turn, I think. The thing you have to understand is that Sham was fast, a beautiful horse. He would have had the Triple Crown in another year. And it just didn't seem like there could be anything faster than that. Everybody was watching him. It was over, more or less. And all of a sudden there was this ... like, just a disruption in the corner of your eye, in your peripheral vision. And then before you could make out what it was, here Secretariat came. And then Secretariat had passed him. No one had ever seen anything run like that — a lot of the old guys said the same thing. It was like he was some other animal out there . . .
I wrote that down when I got back to my father's apartment, where my younger sister and I were staying the night. He lived two more months, but that was the last time I saw him alive.
"Pure Heart," by William Nack (from Sports Illustrated, 1990)
Suggested readers: Anyone with a heart and a spare tissue. Maybe, you Barbaro people. Maybe.
I sank back in my chair. "I'm not ready for this," I told him.
"How do you think I feel?" he said. "Ten thousand people come to this farm every year, and all they want to see is Secretariat. They don't give a hoot about the other studs. You want to know who Secretariat is in human terms? Just imagine the greatest athlete in the world. The greatest. Now make him six foot three, the perfect height. Make him real intelligent and kind. And on top of that, make him the best-lookin' guy ever to come down the pike. He was all those things as a horse. He isn't even a horse anymore. He's a legend. So how do you think I feel?"
Before I left I asked Hancock to call me in Lexington if he decided to put the horse down. We agreed to meet at his mother's house the next morning. "By the way, can I see him?" I asked.
"I'd rather you not," he said. I told Hancock I had been to Robinson's house the day before, and I had seen Secretariat from a distance, grazing. "That's fine." Hancock said. "Remember him how you saw him, that way. He doesn't look good."
Secretariat was suffering the intense pain in the hooves that is common to laminitis. That morning Anderson had risen at dawn to check on the horse, and Secretariat had lifted his head and nickered very loudly. "It was like he was beg-gin' me for help," Anderson would later recall.
I left Claiborne stunned. That night I made a dozen phone calls to friends, telling them the news, and I sat up late, dreading the next day. I woke up early and went to breakfast and came back to the room. The message light was dark. It was Wednesday, Oct. 4. I drove out to Dell Hancock's place in Paris. "It doesn't look good," she said. We had talked for more than an hour when Seth, looking shaken and pale, walked through the front door. "I'm afraid to ask," I said.
"It's very bad," he said. "We're going to have to put him down today."
"The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved," by Hunter S. Thompson (from Scanlan's Monthly, 1970)
Suggested readers: Rabblerousers with mint juleps in arm's reach.
The next day was heavy. With only thirty hours until post time I had no press credentials and—according to the sports editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal—no hope at all of getting any. Worse, I needed two sets: one for myself and another for Ralph Steadman, the English illustrator who was coming from London to do some Derby drawings. All I knew about him was that this was his first visit to the United States. And the more I pondered the fact, the more it gave me fear. How would he bear up under the heinous culture shock of being lifted out of London and plunged into the drunken mob scene at the Kentucky Derby? There was no way of knowing. Hopefully, he would arrive at least a day or so ahead, and give himself time to get acclimated. Maybe a few hours of peaceful sightseeing in the Bluegrass country around Lexington. My plan was to pick him up at the airport in the huge Pontiac Ballbuster I'd rented from a used-car salesman name Colonel Quick, then whisk him off to some peaceful setting that might remind him of England.
Colonel Quick had solved the car problem, and money (four times the normal rate) had bought two rooms in a scumbox on the outskirts of town. The only other kink was the task of convincing the moguls at Churchill Downs that Scanlan's was such a prestigious sporting journal that common sense compelled them to give us two sets of the best press tickets. This was not easily done. My first call to the publicity office resulted in total failure. The press handler was shocked at the idea that anyone would be stupid enough to apply for press credentials two days before the Derby. "Hell, you can't be serious," he said. "The deadline was two months ago. The press box is full; there's no more room...and what the hell is Scanlan's Monthly anyway?"
I uttered a painful groan. "Didn't the London office call you? They're flying an artist over to do the paintings. Steadman. He's Irish. I think. Very famous over there. Yes. I just got in from the Coast. The San Francisco office told me we were all set."
He seemed interested, and even sympathetic, but there was nothing he could do. I flattered him with more gibberish, and finally he offered a compromise: he could get us two passes to the clubhouse grounds but the clubhouse itself and especially the press box were out of the question.
"That sounds a little weird," I said. "It's unacceptable. We must have access tp everything. All of it. The spectacle, the people, the pageantry and certainly the race. You don't think we came all this way to watch the damn thing on television, do you? One way or another we'll get inside. Maybe we'll have to bribe a guard—or even Mace somebody." (I had picked up a spray can of Mace in a downtown drugstore for $5.98 and suddenly, in the midst of that phone talk, I was struck by the hideous possibilities of using it out at the track. Macing ushers at the narrow gates to the clubhouse inner sanctum, then slipping quickly inside, firing a huge load of Mace into the governor's box, just as the race starts. Or Macing helpless drunks in the clubhouse restroom, for their own good...)

Memorials mark 25th anniversary of jet bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland
LONDON >> Families of some of the 270 people who died in the deadly Lockerbie bombing gathered in the Scottish town Saturday to mark the attack's 25th anniversary.
Pan Am 103, which was bound for New York, exploded less than an hour after takeoff from London on Dec. 21, 1988.
Many of the victims were American college students flying home for Christmas.
One man — former Libyan intelligence official Abdel Baset al-Megrahi — was convicted of the bombing. He was given a life sentence, but Scottish authorities released him on humanitarian grounds in 2009 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in Tripoli last year.
Officials including Scottish leader Alex Salmond and relatives of some of the victims gathered at Lockerbie's Dryfesdale Cemetery, laying down wreaths and cards as bagpipes played in the background.
"In my heart, to me this is home and there was no other place I felt I should be on this very sad and special occasion," said Jane Schultz, who lost her 20-year-old son, Thomas. "It's nice and peaceful and it's where Thomas was, so it's like coming home."
Services will be held later Saturday both at London's Westminster Abbey and a local church in Lockerbie.
In the United States, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and other officials will speak at a ceremony at Virginia's Arlington National Cemetery. A service is also planned at Syracuse University in New York state, which lost 35 students returning from studies in Europe.

In the last few years, the benefits of short, intense workouts have been extolled by both researchers and exercise fans as something of a metabolic panacea capable of providing greater overall fitness, better blood sugar control and weight reduction — all of it in periods as short as seven minutes a few times a week.
Now, in a new study, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) confirm that there is something molecularly unique about intense exercise: the activation of a single protein.
The study, published recently by The EMBO Journal, revealed the effects of a protein known as CRTC2.
The scientists were able to show that following high-intensity exercise, which enlists the sympathetic nervous system's "fight or flight" response, CRTC2 integrates signals from two different pathways — the adrenaline pathway and the calcium pathway, to direct muscle adaptation and growth only in the contracting muscle.
Using mice genetically modified to conditionally express CRTC2, the scientists showed that molecular changes occurred that emulated exercised muscles in the absence of exercise.
"The sympathetic nervous system gets turned on during intense exercise, but many had believed it wasn't specific enough to drive specific adaptations in exercised muscle," said Michael Conkright, PhD, a TSRI assistant professor who led the study. "Our findings show that not only does it target those specific muscles, but it improves them — the long-term benefits correlate with the intensity of the workout."
Mobilizing Resources
In the genetically altered animal models, this resulted in a muscle size increase of approximately 15 percent. Metabolic parameters, indicating the amount of fuel available to the muscles, also increased substantially — triglycerides went up 48 percent, while glycogen supplies rose by a startling 121 percent.
In an exercise stress test, the genetically altered animals improved 103 percent after the gene was activated, compared to an 8.5-percent improvement in normal animals.
"If you think of the adrenaline system as something that mobilizes resources when you encounter, say, a bear on your way to work, what we found is that the system also gets you ready for your next bear encounter," Conkright said.
The new findings open the door to a range of potential exercise enhancements.
"Nothing can supplant exercise; however, just by activating one protein, we clearly improved performance in animal models," said Staff Scientist Nelson E. Bruno, MD, PhD, the first author of the study and a member of the Conkright laboratory. "We are now searching for molecular therapeutics that will activate the CRTC2 protein so that even an average exercise routine could potentially be enhanced and made more beneficial."

How our new tools can help you create a Carrotmob campaign
We've just launched a new section of our website to help you create campaigns. Here's an example of what your experience might be like as you use them:
First, you can watch an intro video which explains the basics….
Most likely you will want to learn more before starting a big project like this, so we've written up a detailed "resources" page that describes everything that goes into creating a campaign…
Some of you will read this whole thing right away! The rest of you will get restless and click "Start a Campaign".
Then, in case you have gotten the wrong idea, we ask you to agree to a few basic guidelines, such as "I will not attack a business." Basic "need to know" stuff.
Next, you arrive at your organizer dashboard! First, you need to figure out the basics of your campaign. Who is going to plan this campaign? What will you ask a business to do? We've created a document to help guide you through this process…
All great campaigns so far have started offline, and we think that's great. People like meeting with their friends and colleagues and brainstorming. We could have built a website to make that entire process happen online, but we didn't because we don't believe that's what organizers want. So you may want to print this document out, bring it to a meeting, and if you don't come back to your online dashboard for a couple weeks, that's fine! If you want, you can use our optional worksheet to help you answer basic questions, such as what topic you will focus on:
Or, if you've already figured out plans with a business, fill out the commitment agreement and get it signed!
Then, upload it!
Uploading the agreement means you've figured everything out, so you've now unlocked the ability to create an official campaign page!
Let's imagine that you've come up with campaign, and made a deal like this with a local restaurant:
IF we spend at least $10,000
THEN the Krusty Burger in downtown Springfield agrees to remove 12 spots from it's parking lot and 1) install a bike rack and a bench 2) plant a lawn and a big shady lemon tree which will help reduce the carbon footprint of Krusty Burger's lemonade.
As you build your campaign page you will enter topics that describe your campaign:
Since this campaign has several actions, we can add another "details" section to keep the main explanation concise:
Fill in everything, including a photo, and then submit it!
As soon as we approve your campaign, you will have your own campaign page to share with the world! (click image to enlarge)
You are automatically RSVP'd as attending, and you can invite your friends. See that little "i" button below the "Then" section? That is a link to the signed agreement you uploaded, and anyone in the public can view it. This helps keep the business (and the organizer) accountable to everyone.
Click on the updates tab and you can post updates as you go to make sure your mob is kept in the loop! For now, this is just a very basic blog, but in the future, your posts here can be emailed or texted out in real-time to all of the people who have RSVP'd to your campaign. That way, if there's a last minute change, you'll be able to reach everyone without relying on Twitter, Facebook, etc.
You can continue to edit your campaign information at any time. No one else can see this option.
Also, your campaign will appear to anyone browsing the campaigns section of our site (thanks to Kickstarter for the design inspiration):
Your main goals leading up to the campaign should be to get as many people as possible to click "I'm Going"…
…and after that, to share with their friends:
Soon after your campaign happens, the RSVP button will automatically disappear, and be replaced by an image that says "Changes Pending":
Go back to your organizer dashboard, and you'll discover that the "Followup" section is now available to you. Enter the information about how much money was spent, and it will appear on your campaign page. You may need to wait a couple months for the new lemon tree to get planted. Once all the promised actions are done, get a photo or video as evidence that the action is finished. Enter this info…
…and when you save, your campaign will now be listed as "completed"…
…and a new "Campaign Impact" section will appear at the bottom of your campaign page, to show off what you've accomplished!
That's all there is to it! We have many more great features we will introduce in the future, and for now we're very interested in hearing your feedback!

text: Torrance Memorial Medical Center operates one of the busiest Interventional Radiology programs in the South Bay. Armed with the knowledge gained from the CT scan, the physicians in Interventional Radiology can determine exactly where a blockage has occurred in the brain by inserting a thin flexible tube called a catheter into the carotid artery and injecting contrast into the blood vessels. The contrast mixes with the blood, showing blood flowing through the intricate vessel network in the brain and reveals the precise location of any blockages. Intravenous (IV) tPA If an acute stroke patient qualifies for the clot-busting drug, tPA, it can be administered intravenously, through an intravenous line (IV line) in the arm. This is called intravenous (IV) tPA. The medication will travel through the blood stream until it reaches the blood vessel where the clot is located and dissolve it. Intra-Arterial tPA Another method of administering tPA, called intra-arterial tPA puts the medication directly where the clot is located. A catheter is inserted up to, or inside the clot in the brain and tPA is fed directly on the clot, dissolving it. A Mechanical Approach Some patients may not qualify for tPA, or they may come to the hospital too late to have the drug administered. These patients may benefit from a new, innovative mechanical method performed at Torrance Memorial to remove all or part of the clot, without the trauma of major surgery. Using a micro-catheter, our interventional radiologist uses a specialized clot retrieval device to literally remove the clot from a blood vessel from inside the brain. The technique is similar to what is done in the catheterization laboratory or cath lab in Cardiology to open blood vessels of the heart.

Snow Spotter Information
The link below will take you to a movie that details how to measure snow. You will also need a player that is capable of displaying ".mov" files. For best results, right click on the links and download the file to your computer by choosing the "Save As" option.
Find a location where the snow appears to be near its average depth. This may be difficult if the snow has drifted. Look for a flat, somewhat open area away from buildings and trees. Some trees in the distance may be helpful by breaking the wind and preventing excessive drifting.
Measure the depth with a sturdy measuring stick, such as a ruler or a yardstick. Convert readings to the nearest tenth of an inch. Measure the depth at several locations and use an average depth if drifting has occurred.
When snow has fallen between observation times and has been melting, measure its greatest depth on the ground while it is still snowing, if possible, or estimate the greatest depth. If all snow melted as it fell, or snow is not deep enough to measure, enter a trace in the 24 hour snowfall column.
Snow boards are placed on top of old snow on the ground when there is any possibility of new snow falling. They may be made of thin lumber or other light material that will not sink into the snow, yet be heavy enough not to blow away. They should be painted white whenever possible. Push the snow board into the snow on the ground just far enough to make the top of the board level with the top of the snow. Boards should be cleared and placed in a new location after each observation, always making sure that the top of the board is flush with the snow on the ground.
When new snow has fallen on top of old snow, it is necessary to measure the depth of the new snow as well as the total depth of all snow on the ground. Snow boards provide the best method of taking measurements in this case (see above). If you do not have a snow board and the old snow has developed a crust or become packed, it may be possible to measure the new snow by inserting a measuring stick until it meets the crust of old snow. Snow also tends to darken over time as it remains on the ground, so it may be possible to cut a vertical core sample through the snow down to the ground and measure the new (whitest) snow depth along with the total snow depth.

Ohio: Tony Stewart's Dirt Track
In 2004, two-time NASCAR champ Tony Stewart bought Eldora Speedway, a car-racing mecca just outside Rossburg, Ohio, and vowed both to preserve it as a shrine to a bygone America and to make it one of the most active arenas on the dirt-track circuit. Opened in 1954, the high-banked, half-mile clay oval got a lift when Stewart stepped in. Now more than a dozen different classes of racing pass through in the course of a season, which spans most weekends from April to October. There are lightning-fast sprint cars, boxy late models, Baja-style TORC trucks, go-karts, and this summer, for the first time, NASCAR Camping World truck racing. A night at Eldora is dusty and loud, and the food is greasy, but a picnic on the grass at turn two offers the most comfortable view of car racing anywhere in the U.S.
Getting there: From the Dayton airport, drive an hour to Rossburg. Eldora Speedway hosts races most weekends in its operating season.

You know, the more the American automotive industry gets ignored by the folks with all the power in Washington, the more we start to like columnist Dan Howes over at the more-conservative- than-the-Freep Detroit News. In todays edition he pens a piece on the intricacies of the bullshit that is federal involvement with the American auto industry so biting, we're starting to think he's ready to start hitting the auto blogorrhea circuit . Here's one of our fave quotes:
Big-name Republicans are tramping around Michigan...Karl Rove...Ken Mehlman...for Senate hopeful Mike Bouchard and President Bush is rumored to be planning a campaign swing next month. But meet with Detroit's automakers? Nah, why should the president care...
In any other major auto-producing nation, politicians don't ignore the concerns of their auto industry. Not in France and Germany, where nationalism infuses economic policy. And not in Japan or South Korea, where manipulating currencies and erecting trade barriers is acceptable to help the home team — and Detroit isn't asking for either one.
Here? The president won't meet with the bosses of General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and the Chrysler Group. But he'll sit astride a Harley, visit a Nissan truck plant, herald the Toyota engine that won the Indy 500, campaign for Republicans and then have his press secretary swear there's no snub of Detroit.
Hell Howes, we don't even have anything snarky to add other than to let you know you should feel free to drop on by and throw down a couple of posts over here whenever you want. You 'da man, Dan!
