Police probe stolen baby Jesus
HUNTINGTON -- A local business hopes surveillance video helps police identify the thief who disturbed the solitude of a downtown nativity scene by stealing a decorative baby Jesus from its manger.
Two surveillance cameras depict a younger adult male, casually dressed with a side backpack, walk onto the nativity's platform at 12:53 a.m. Friday. He swiped the baby Jesus and fled in a matter of seconds, jerking it away with such force that he lifted industrial-strength Velcro used to hold the decoration in place.
Becki Carpenter has watched the videos numerous times since. Her emotion and determination grow with each viewing.
"I become more frustrated that somebody would actually take Baby Jesus from a nativity scene," she said. "The thought of that is just very shocking. Total disbelief that somebody would do that."
The nativity graces the porch of a house in the 1100 block of 5th Avenue, a building which serves as the administrative offices for McDonald's restaurants in Ashland and the Huntington area. Carpenter serves as its local store marketing director.
The local McDonald's operator, Tom Wolfe, purchased the nativity at a Costco. It retails for more than $1,000, but Carpenter said her boss purchased it on sale for just over $500. He also bought the surveillance system and construction materials for the nativity's wooden platform.
Carpenter estimates the project took eight hours Thursday for herself and two others to complete. They placed the surveillance video and Velcro as a precaution, never believing somebody might actually steal such items, much less within 12 hours of its construction.
"It wasn't something that was just thrown up with no thought," she said. "This is a nativity set that folks going down 5th Avenue, through the town of Huntington, can really enjoy. With baby Jesus missing, it didn't fulfill the total meaning of the nativity."
A baby doll lay in the decorative manger Monday morning as a temporary replacement. The original, now missing decoration, was part of a nine-piece nativity set. It was transported in three boxes with some figures standing more than 3 feet tall.
Carpenter reported the theft Monday to police. She handed over the company's surveillance videos hoping those recordings yield an arrest. She and Wolfe believe a minimum of 40 hours community service would be an appropriate punishment.
Huntington Police Detective Chris Sperry said the matter remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the incident should contact the police tip line at 304-696-4444 or detectives at 304-696-4420. Information can be given anonymously.
How you can help?
Police urge anyone with information about the identify of the man who took a decorative baby Jesus to contact the Huntington Police Department Tip Line at 304-696-4444 or the Detective Bureau at 304-696-4420. Information can be given anonymously.

...And taking a bite of the Apple is why mankind is in it's current fallen state. It seems no one has learned their lesson!
Apple, attention, and the Bruce Lee cover
Back in the 1990s when I was writing for martial arts magazines, one of my editors told me that any time they could put Bruce Lee on the cover, their sales would go up exponentially. So, no matter what, there was a huge incentive for them to run as many Bruce Lee covers as they could a year. Mercifully, magazines only came out once a month, and they couldn't do it every month, but it was still done just as often as the market could bear.
That's exactly what's happening with Apple in the personal technology space right now. Put Apple in a headline and you'll get more clicks. Truth, logic, intelligence, relevance -- none of that matters compared to getting Apple in the headline, baiting the links, and garnering the click-throughs.
And that's all of our fault.
Twenty years ago customers voted with their wallets and bought exponentially as many magazines when Bruce Lee was on the cover. Now readers vote with their clicks/taps and visit exponentially more tech stories if Apple is in the title.
A publication's job is to serve the reader, stories about Apple are what the readers want, so that's what publications are going to serve. If it's something like a keynote where a new product is launched, they benefits Apple tremendously in terms of immediate and extended coverage and enormous amounts of free publicity. If it post product-launch. when outlets are trying to look for anyway to keep the stories going
And since sensational stories get the most attention, most of the stories will get sensationalized to get that attention.
Since the web means no longer having to contend with monthly magazine publications, or even daily newspaper printing, we just get it from everywhere, all the time. It's even bleeding out of the technology section and onto front pages.
It's a vicious cycle.
Even smart readers and savvy journalists end up visiting -- and sharing! -- even the most absurd, objectionable, and outlandish dumb Apple stories. They do it in droves.
That feeds them, encourages them, and condemns us all to more of the same. Again and again and again.
So the next time any of us roll our eyes, grit out teeth, clench our fists, share our disbelief, post our retorts, or simply shake our heads at a stupid Apple story we're reading and wonder why it got written -- that's the reason. Because of us. Because we not only give them attention, but we give them most of our attention.
Apple's being put on as many covers, in as many ways as possible, and we're racing to buy up every copy.
(For my part, I'm not linking to any of it here on iMore any more, and I'm not Tweeting it, sharing it, or doing anything to help spread it. If we have to disprove out-an-out BS, we'll do it in a stand-alone way, or we'll link to someone who's written something smart, inspiring, or admirable instead. And if there was a rel="unlink" attribute that would actually reduce the spread of the dumb, we'd use it.)

Reader comments
Apple, attention, and the Bruce Lee cover
Wait...as an editor, you were not doing this already? :)
I kid, I kid. It is your right and your duty as an editor to filter out crap, and, even when we disagree loudly in the comments, I think you generally do a very good job of it.
However, another responsibility is to counteract the spread of dumb, which you cannot do by ignoring it. In the absence of countervailing facts and opinion pieces, it takes over. You are more comic book geek than Trekker, but in the words of Dr McCoy: "Spock, I've found that evil usually triumphs...unless good is very, very careful." While you probably want to avoid outright advocacy, clarifications and corrections are perfectly appropriate editorial functions, too, especially if your readership looks to you to help make sense of otherwise eye-rolling fare elsewhere.
Antennagate? Story, whether or not tipb covered it. Warmgate? Probably not today. In the summer, if it occurs frequently as outdoor temperatures rise? Then, yes, of course. Otherwise, no. Battery overcharging? Seems like a tempest in a teapot to me, but, even then, you cannot publish your useful article on Apple's explanation without having first covered the issue. Or rather, you can, but then you run the risk of undermining your own credibility by publishing only those stories put out by Apple or that put Apple in a favorable light. In the long run, that is going to hurt even more.
Yes, with the unending supply of stupid out there, you cannot (and should not) publish everything. While there is no right or wrong answer to this fine line you as an editor have to walk, it seems better to address the large-scale stupid head-on than to pretend it does not exist.
We're not going to ignore it, we're just not going to link to crackpot attention seekers, and if and when something has enough dumb momentum that we feel the need to weigh in, we'll address the issue and not the attention seeker. I think that's win win?
There's a lot of "dumb momentum" out there. I wonder if Microsoft and Google are paying for some of that dumbness, whether through ads on the sites that spread the dumbness or through paid "astroturf" bloggers / commenters / tweeters etc.
Then again, maybe it's in Microsoft's and Google's best interest to not mention Apple at all. Because, as we all know, if you're an Apple competitor and you mention Apple, you lose.
This phenomena is not unique to Apple or IOS. In fact I've noticed a trend that anytime a story about some alleged failing of Apple reaches the level of the Main Stream Press(tm), 5 or 10 stories immediately follow pointing out similar (and often equally bogus) allegations about Android.
For every story bashing Apple products (fairly or unfairly) there immediately follows an entire weeks worth of Android bashing. Almost always overblown, and often just downright wrong. (And these stories often get top billing in Google News / Mobile Technology).
Apple obviously has enough carefully planted friends in the press to both (eventually) correct any miss-reporting or bogus stories.
I think its more important for iMore to be first in line to beat down stupid bogus Apple/IOS stories when they are obviously false or Bogus.
Similarly the greater willingness of iMore to take Apple to task of late (when necessary) has brought me back to reading this site after the rampant fanboyism of past years eventually drove me away.
So Rene, don't start avoiding stories or topics just because you want to damp down the dumb. You don't have to link to them, but lots of people depend on you to debunk them.
I've just spent the last 20 minutes looking over Bruce Lee quotes and philosophy and despite the fact I've been a fan of his for many years and have a copy of his book within arms reach (literally), I never realised until now just how much he has in common with Steve Jobs! Strange as it may seem, they both approached their art in a very similar way.
Anyone want to call me crazy? (...crazy...)
Anyone agree? (...tumble weed....)
So.. there isn't a Bruce Lee magazine coming to iTunes?
Damnit.. link baited.
I went to www.buybackzone.com to sell my iPad. I got paid $350 for my iPad. I reiceved the money in my paypal in 48 hours. Its alot easier than selling things on ebay or craigslist.I recommend it.
The BFD is only if the 110 degrees can shut down the iPad consistently, as a few have reported. While there is not enough data to claim any systemic problem, there are enough seeds there to suggest it should be filed away for a further look when the weather warms up. It is not dumb to follow up on that -- it is good investigative journalism that serves readers.
Our group, for example, uses iPads outdoors in San Diego and Phoenix quite often, and, if the iPad 3 does prove more vulnerable to heat shutdown in sunny 80 degree weather, we would certainly look to purchase iPad 2s instead. Regardless of what the answer is, a site like tipb would be doing me a great service by revisiting this issue when the temperatures hit 80s in late Spring/Summer.

The Atleticos got it right, but "Los DBacks" probably have the worst Spanish jersey ever.
The team's name, the Spanish word for "fathers", refers to the Spanish Franciscan friars who founded San Diego in 1769.
El Padres?
Los Padres?
nah, just "Padres"
marcshoe (05-12-2013)
As with most romance languages, it needs the article "Los" to make it a plural noun. Just "Rojos" would be an adjective describing things that are red.
There are only two seasons - Winter and Baseball.
Check out jerseys from winter leagues. The only one I remember with "Los" is "Los Mochis", because "Los Mochis" is the name of the town (the team nickname is Cañeros).
For example Bravos de Margarita is a Venezuelan Winter League team. Bravos can also be an adjective. The uniforms do not carry a "Los"
Newspaper headlines will omit the "Los" as in
Rojos 5, Cerveceros 1
They could ask the latin players how they prefer it, with or without "los" , but I suspect they don't care much either way, unlike other people.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Blitz Dorsey (05-13-2013)
I don't get what the big deal with the Los is!!! It's not a big deal to me, it's a promotion and they are trying to make money. Plus baseball has many Hispanic players and I think it's good that there is a day for them to represent their culture, whether it is intended or not.
Also, thanks for answering the question that many of us had. I thought there was no need for the "Los" since the word "The" is not on the Reds' regular uniforms. But as it turns out, having the "Los" is necessary for it to be proper Spanish.

Men with historic convictions for consensual gay sex will be able to apply to have them disregarded, after a vital new law today received Royal Assent. The Protection of Freedoms Act includes amendments secured by Stonewall which will also enable gay and bisexual men maliciously convicted of 'loitering with intent' under Section 4 of the Vagrancy Act 1824 to have them removed from their criminal record. The Act received support from across Parliament, following a long lobbying campaign by Stonewall.
Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill said: 'Victorian morality has absolutely no place in 21st-century Britain. We know of many gay men with homophobic convictions on their records who have been dissuaded from looking for work or volunteering their time to good causes. They will be delighted by this important new law, which will help many men look forward to a brighter future. We hope the new measures will now be implemented as quickly as possible.'
Stonewall gave evidence to the Public Bill Committee considering the Protection of Freedoms Bill on 24 March 2011, and lobbied the Home Secretary to increase the Act's scope to repeal more historic offences.
During office hours please call: 020 7593 1856 or outside office hours on 07985 439 660.

Dear deviantART...I am refusing to use the rebranded name because, I'm annoyed about the rebrand. I'm annoyed about your direction, your lack of focus in key areas and your lack of communication. I said I'd never be a bitter former staff member, but it seems that I am.Last year you spent a lot of money on a rebrand, this year you've cut 50% of your work force, entire departments have been decimated and peoples lives have been thrown upside down without notice. But you never really communicated to anyone why. You still don't, you're not telling the community what's happening and that's only going to hurt you. People will see that helpdesk tickets take longer to get a response, people see that lots of people are no longer staff and you're not letting them know why. You know that people have a belief that the site is dying, you're only furthering it right now. How much of a better state would the site be in if the rebrand hadn't happened?

This medication may infrequently cause or worsen a certain heart problem (congestive heart failure). Tell your doctor right away if you notice any symptoms of heart failure, including: swelling of the hands/feet, unusual/sudden weight gain, trouble breathing, unusual tiredness.
This medication is not recommended in patients with certain types of heart failure. Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you have heart failure.Who should not take Avandia?
Rosiglitazone is an anti-diabetic drug (thiazolidinedione-type, also called "glitazones") used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Rosiglitazone works by helping to restore your body's proper response to insulin, thereby lowering your blood sugar. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using rosiglitazone and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions regarding the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth, with or without food, usually once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your medical condition, response to therapy, and if you are taking other anti-diabetic drugs.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time(s) each day. Monitor blood glucose levels on a regular basis.
It may take up to 2 to 3 months before the full benefit of this drug takes effect.
Take all other medications for diabetes as directed by your doctor.
See also Warning section.
Headache or cough may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: fast/pounding heartbeat, changes in menstrual cycles, bone fracture, dark urine, yellowing of eyes/skin, persistent nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, vision changes (e.g., color or night vision problems).
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest/jaw/left arm pain, unusual sweating.
This medication usually does not cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), but this effect may occur if you do not consume enough calories (from food, juices, fruit, etc.). The symptoms include chills, cold sweat, dizziness, drowsiness, shaking, rapid heart rate, weakness, headache, fainting, tingling of the hands or feet, or hunger. It is a good habit to carry glucose tablets or gel to treat low blood sugar. If you are in a situation where you don't have these reliable forms of glucose, eat a quick source of sugar such as table sugar, honey, or candy, or drink a glass of orange juice or non-diet soda to quickly raise your blood sugar level. Tell your doctor immediately about the reaction. To help prevent hypoglycemia, eat meals on a regular schedule and do not skip meals.
Symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) include thirst, increased urination, confusion, drowsiness, flushing, rapid breathing, or fruity breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor immediately. Your medication dosage may need to be increased.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before taking rosiglitazone, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other "glitazones" such as pioglitazone; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.

UTC MOCS CLUB/ALUMNI EVENT IN ATLANTA JANUARY 2nd
The UTC Mocs Club and the UTC Alumni Association are hosting a pregame reception for all fans at STATS restaurant in Atlanta prior to the UTC-Georgia Tech men's basketball game. The event begins at 5 p.m. and concludes at 6:30. The cost to attend the reception is $25 and includes an appetizer buffet of cheeseburger sliders, spinach and artichoke dip, roasted vegetables and spicy buffalo wings, as well as one drink ticket. There is a cash bar during the event.
- First game of four straight on the road for Chattanooga. The squad has played just three road games to date (Kansas, Kennesaw State & LSU). It is 1-2 away from McKenzie Arena.
- UTC's 17th meeting with Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets lead the series 14-2. For more notes on past matchups check out page 3 of the game notes PDF.
- Rebounding has been a Chattanooga strength this season. The squad leads the SoCon in rebounding margin (+7.0) which was ranked No. 26 in the country entering the week.
- The Mocs also lead in offensive rebound percentage claiming 38.6 percent of its own misses. That equates to 15.0 offensive boards per contest which ranks tied for 16th in the nation (West Virginia) through Sunday's games.
- UTC has out-boarded opponents by 10 or more six times thus far with a high of 30 against Reinhardt. The plus-21 at Kennesaw State is the top margin against a DI opponent.
- Chattanooga has been good INSIDE the three-point line over the last three contests. During that span, it is shooting 59.0 percent (79-134) from inside the arc, 19.0 percent (11-58) outside it.
- The Mocs are shooting 64.7 percent from the free throw line this season. In the first 36 minutes of a game, that number is 59.0 percent (147-249), but it jumps up to 83.1 percent (64-77) in the final four minutes of the game. In that stretch, UTC is led by Mason (18-20, 90.0%), White (21-24, 87.5%) and Martynas Bareika (6-6, 100%) who combine to shoot 90 percent (45-50).
- Z. Mason and Ronrico White made the Dr Pepper Classic All-Tournament team with Mason bringing home MVP honors. Both posted new career highs keying wins over High Point, which entered the event 2-0 against SoCon North competition (UNCG & App State) and Utah Valley, which won the Great West Conference in 2011-12.
- Mason averaged 20.5 points and 11 boards per game in the classic. He set new career highs with 26 points, nine FT made, 12 FT attempted and three steals, while tying highs with 13 rebounds and eight field goals made.
- White was outstanding in the opening Dr Pepper Classic game for the Mocs. He posted new career highs in points (21), rebounds (6), FTs made (9) and minutes played (35). He scored 11 points in the final 7:22 of the contest to key the win turning a one-point deficit into a seven-point win.
- Stat leaders over last 5 games (3-2):
Z. Mason, 17.0

- White has 22 assists over the last six games, 3.7 per contest. He had 14 in the first seven (2.0).
- McGhee is fourth in the SoCon in FT attempted (66) and No. 1 among guards. White is fifth (63).

- The Mocs have never faced Boston College, Duke, Miami or Virginia.
- Last win over a then-current member of the ACC was in the 1985 NIT at home over Clemson, 67-65 in overtime. Chattanooga topped Virginia Tech, 84-70 at home, in 2000 while it was still in the Big EAST.
- Georgia Tech is 9-2 on the season, 7-0 in the new McCamish Pavilion.
- The Yellow Jackets own wins over Tulane (79-61), Presbyterian (52-38), Rice (54-36), Saint Mary's (65-56), Georgia (62-54), UNCW (73-66), Alabama State (75-41, The Citadel (73-41) and Fordham (73-48).
- Won their last three by 34, 32 and 25 while not allowing the opponent to top 50.
- Brian Gregory is 20-22 in his second year in Atlanta, 192-116 in 10 seasons as a head coach. He was 172-94 in eight campaigns at Dayton.
- Marcus Georges-Hunt leads a balanced attack at 11.1 points per game. Robert Carter, Jr., is next at 9.7 point and a team-best 6.4 rebounds per contest.
- Tech averages 65.9 points while limiting opponents to 53.1 points per game, which is 5th in the country. It allows just 34.5 percent shooting, third in the nation.
The Chattanooga Mocs lost a legend on Nov. 14, 2012 as former Head Coach Murray Arnold passed away in Florida. He laid the DI championship foundation coaching for six years, 1980-85, with a 135-46 record. He coached collegiately at four institutions (Birmingham Southern, Western Kentucky and Stetson) amassing a 420-229 mark in 22 seasons. The Mocs captured four SoCon Championships in six UTC campaigns advancing to three NCAA Tournaments and two NITs reaching the Elite 8 (NIT) in 1985 and narrowly missing the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1982.

At 7 a.m. on Thursday morning, a line of vehicles about a quarter of a mile long waited to get into Chukker Creek Elementary School.
This is typical on a school day at that time and again starting at approximately 2 p.m. as parents wait to drop off or pick up their children. At times, the traffic is said to be backed up all the way to Whiskey Road.
On Tuesday evening, a plan was presented to the City of Aiken in hopes to alleviate that problem that has left some sitting in traffic as long as 45 minutes. The Aiken City Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of an amendment to a concept plan to extend the school's driveway by 1,800 feet to allow two lanes for more vehicles to pull into the drop-off area rather than spilling out onto Chukker Creek Road. An additional 40 parking spots were also requested.
S.C. Sen. Tom Young was happy to hear that a solution has been presented to the City and that the Planning Commission found it acceptable. He has heard from a number of constituents, either parents of Chukker Creek students or residents living in near the school, and said a project to resolve the problem has been in the works for more than a year.
"It was important that we found a solution to this ongoing problem," Young said. "It's been a real problem for some time and I'm glad this is moving along."
Young said that input was requested from the S.C. Department of Transportation and the issue later was brought up to the Aiken County Transportation Committee. The Aiken County School District hired an engineer, and now its up to the City on whether the concept plan revisions will be made.
On Tuesday evening, about two dozen residents came to the Planning Commission meeting to discuss the traffic issue. A majority of those residents are in favor of the driveway extension proposal as is.
The school has 852 students with about only 10 to 15 percent of them using the bus. The school currently has 650 feet of driveway for drop offs and pick ups, according to Civil Engineer Tilden Hilderbrand.During pick-up, which is said to be the peak traffic time, approximately 1,800 feet of cars have been seen parked on Chukker Creek Road toward Whiskey Road and approximately 500 feet toward Plantation South, Hilderbrand said.
Residents in that area expressed concern for both the students' safety and their own. Virginia Dunkelbarger said years ago, a neighbor saw smoke coming from her home and called the fire department. The fire trucks came in with ease. Now, if a fire or some other incident occurred, emergency responders would have a hard time passing the traffic if it's during drop-off or pick-up times on a school day.
"We want to make sure nobody dies from a fire or an accident and I think all of the Chukker Creek families here agree," she said, then asking the audience, "What do you think?"
Applause erupted from those there to support the driveway extension.
Brenda Klein, another resident, said it's like being "held hostage" at her home if she doesn't leave before the traffic begins to pile up and if she's out, she can't return to her house during those times either.
Only a few expressed concern with the extension, stating that they're not against it but feel the plan wasn't sufficient.
Michael Sweeney said that something certainly needs to be done, but he's grown up in the area and watched it expand over the years. He feels that the proposed plan would only be a short-term solution rather than a long term one as the population and the school itself grows. Sweeney said he'd hate to see a meeting five to 10 years later addressing the same exact issue.
"I just wanted to bring that up," Sweeney said. "The kids' safety is a number one priority. I'm not against this project at all."
The first reading by City Council will be held at its Feb. 11 meeting.

Fiscal cliff? Farm bill? Immigration reform? Death tax? What does all of this mean?
To put it simple this is a short list of really difficult issues that should concern every Yadkin County resident. How does it affect you?
Let's start with the proposed Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012, better known as the 2012 farm bill. This bill passed the Senate but stalled in the U. S. House of Representatives. As December ticks away quickly and the House begins to stare down the looming Christmas recess, the likelihood of a farm bill this year becomes less and less a possibility. Both the House and Senate need to address the issues of the looming fiscal cliff, immigration reform and the death tax. Congress has lots to do and a short time to get it all complete.
The proposed farm bill is estimated to cost nearly $100 billion per year. But, let's be clear about one thing. Only about 20% of the farm bill actually goes to farms and farmers. Over 80% of farm bill spending goes to the United States Department of Agriculture for funding of nutrition programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP is now the Federal Food Stamp Program and the Free and Reduced Lunches and Breakfast at America's schools. Many politicians have adopted the misconception that cutting payments to agriculture will go a long way towards avoiding the looming fiscal cliff. The fact is the farm bill as a whole is about 3% of the $3.54 trillion annual federal budget making direct payments to agriculture considerably less than 1% of the annual federal budget.
How can less than 1% of the budget lead the way in averting the fiscal cliff? It can't. The fact is that farmers, who represent less than 1% of the American population, may be an easy target for politicians, but disproportionate cuts to agriculture spending will not solve our budget crisis. Could agriculture spending be such a topic of discussion, because it is politically expedient?
So if farmers are less than 1% of the population, why shouldn't agriculture spending be cut entirely? Farmers are "price takers." Meaning they produce a product and they sell it at the price they can get. They have no control over markets, weather or other conditions that could have a positive or a negative impact on the product they produce. Agricultural spending provides an important safety net that allows farmers to stay in business during disastrous weather or market circumstances.
Farmers staying on the land and farming is good for everyone. 2.2 million Farms in the United States are responsible for feeding 312 million people here, plus millions of others around the globe. Today, one farmer feeds about 155 people. In 1960 one farmer fed about 25 people.
Agriculture is the largest industry in Yadkin County and in North Carolina, contributing $103 million to the Yadkin County economy and over $73 billion to the NC economy. A healthy agricultural economy means jobs and stability.
Payments that farmers receive in the form of crop insurance and other agricultural programs are invested back into the local economy. In 2008 Yadkin County received $6.9 million in farm program payments. Farmers used this money to cover loss, prepare for the next planting season, purchase new equipment from local dealers, hire additional farm hands and even go to the local café and have a cup of coffee.
The bottom line is the 2012 farm bill is an important piece of legislation for everyone, and it deserves reasonable debate. A practical farm bill is a must; it must address the concerns of the farmer while at the same time taking into account the current financial situation facing our nation. Disproportionate reductions to the agriculture section of the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012, without addressing the nutritional programs and entitlements of the bill are simply unacceptable. You need to be involved in the discussion. Contact your US House Representative or US Senator and let them know that you support farmers and we must protect the most abundant and safest food supply in the world.

BULLITT, JOHN T : Earth Sound
Small edition recordings of the earth's interior, taken from digital seismographs located around the planet. Since the true frequencies are extremely low, they have to be sped up considerably to bring them into the range of human audibility. There are 3 tracks, the first, at 2450x acceleration, captures an unbroken month, the second, at 10,000 x , about 4.5 months and the last, at 245x, three days around the December 2004 tsunami. You mostly hear earthquakes - and there are a lot of them at varying amplitudes - as pops, cracks and roars set in a constant sussurus that is the ocean's waters moving. It's stereophonic because the earth is round and the seismographs are far apart. The booklet notes are excellent, full and highly informative, and include the 'scores', showing the extraordinary frequency of events. Triple gatefold digi-pack. For total immersion or ambiance. An essential soundscape document.

Crown Point Crown Point will celebrate 225 years as a township in 2013 with the publication of a historic guide book.
"We hope that this booklet will get into the hands of long time Crown Point natives, visitors to the Champlain Valley and new residents to our community," said Kama Ingleston, who edited the book. "When you shine a light on the history of one town you encourage people to investigate history as a whole and that's good for everyone."
Crown Point became an incorporated town March 23, 1788. To mark the anniversary the Penfield Homestead Museum has published the "Historic Guide to Crown Point, New York – Celebrating 225 Years – 1788 – 2013."
The 40-page book took a year to produce and is sponsored by the Ticonderoga Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, The Gabriel Fund, White Church III Association and the Honey Bee Fund of Essex.
"The history of Crown Point is much, much older than 1788," Ingleston noted. "Fort St. Frederic was built and occupied by the French in the 1730s and many historians believe that Samuel de Champlain fought the battle with Iroquois in July 1609 on this peninsula."
Crown Point was one of the first towns in the North Country, Joan Hunsdon, Crown Point town historian, said.
"The state of New York was very busy in 1788," she said. "In March of that year the whole state was officially divided into towns and Crown Point was one of four — Champlain, Plattsburgh, Willsboro and Crown Point — in the Clinton County. Essex County did not come to be until 1799, over 10 years later."
The historic guide is contains facts, information on people, photos, sketches, maps and a timeline of Crown Point history.
Printed in full color by Crown Point Telephone Corporation, the guide will be available at Penfield Homestead Museum and at selected area sites throughout the year..

Here we have graphs on a dyno dynamics of the Stage 2 tune from CA Automotive. This Dyno is obviously set to read high as they are not making 538 whp, impossible. The dyno is corrected but we have no idea just how high the correction factor is. The gains are claimed on 93 octane but we just don't find these numbers possible without huge correction factors to exaggerate the gains on what is a notoriously low reading dyno.
Before dyno:
CA automotive says there are no tricks or exagerrated correction factors here, but clearly, that is exactly what they are doing:
Here is what a modified M5 really looks like on a dyno dynamics, this one with aftermarket exhaust:
The gains here are exaggerated and not an accurate representation.
CA Automotive Claiming 60 hp gains on pump gas with their Stage 2 M5/M6 V10 S85 tune?

I agree with you sticky! CA always over exagurate their stuff!
these are not RWHP they are crank HP plots taken from an independant dyno. However, i think this is a plot from their stage 2 package - pulley, scoops cat back and remap.....if it is then, I can confirm it is much quicker than stock. THere are another couple of cars that have had stage 2 remap, and their dyno plots look good. several UK people are having their cars remapped in the coming weeks and perhaps they will be good enough to post their results.
507hp and 384tq stock
Going only by the 1st dyno sheet its either reading low crank power, or very high wheel power stock. Just by the lack of accuracy in the 1st dyno there is no reason to go onto the next dyno sheet. Until there are a few different before and after independent dynos authenticating the effectiveness in a tune we should not get too worked up by a random dyno sheet.
good day all
Thought we would chime in to clear up any misunderstandings here.
Our dyno results show bhp at the Engine, NOT at the wheels, hence the confusion; once you take this into account the figures stack up correctly.
Whilst 476 bhp is a little on the low side for stock crank output, it is not uncommon. What matters is the gain.
To re confirm, we have used an independant dyno, and the figures have not been messed with in any way.
We are happy to carry out this work at any independant dyno a customer may wish, thereby eliminating any doubts at all :-)
many thanks

So this was an independent chasis dyno that was taken in by a customer or that CA Automotive took in on behalf of a customer?
What drivetrain loss did the dyno use to compute the crank power?
Why is the torque so low, below stock even after the tune(370 tuned vs 384 stock)?
The dyno graph shows that Shoot 8 was used.
Therefore approx 20% drivetrain loss is applied.
Wheel Power would have been around 387hp before and 441hp after.
Torque is calculated based on RPM, if the calibration is wrong then the torque figure will be wrong as the dyno measure HP and then converts the torque.
However, the initial graph is only revving to 8000rpm or it's badly calibrated.
The reason being, crank dynos exaggerate the gains making it appear that you gain more HP. Which I am sure you know, which is why the dyno was heavily corrected to BHP to begin with. A way to avoid reading low for crank would be to simply run it at the wheels, or, in shootout mode to prevent any messing with correction factors.
What matters is the gain just as you stated, but giving the complete picture is also important if the procedure is to be taken as valid. Allowing customers to dyno your software independently is a nice gesture and the right step to alleviate any doubt.
On a dyno dynamics machine there is no correction factor going from wheel to crank figures but rather a outright simple multiplier based on the shootout mode chosen.
So, if a car makes say 400 wheel horsepower and the shoot out mode of shoot8 (used on 8 cyl or above engine) is used then the dyno simply uses a factor of 1.2 (20%) which is added to the wheel horsepower accross the entire recorded rpm band.
Correction factor is something entirely different.
Correction factors are applied to the wheel horsepower figures first and then the shootout mode transmission loss factor is added to that.
Typically correction factors hover from around 0.98-1.02% and these are calculated from barometric pressure, relative humidity and air temperature.
One very good thing about shootout mode is that is fixes the ramp rate and all but one correction factor is then locked which is inlet air temperature.
It also displays the conditions which make up the correction factor on every graph.
From what I can see of many of the graphs generated in the US is that no one shows the variables which make up the correction factor and you cannot determine if the car was run with the same ramp rate on a before/after comparison test. I am not implying that foul play is occuring but you just have no idea at all of what's going on.
So, it doesn't matter if you look at wheel or crank figures. The correction factors are applied to both and the only different between the two are the conversion factor.
I can show examples of this.
I get the feeling the people are under the assumption that wheel figures are completely raw and have no correction factors applied to them. Correct me if I am wrong.
The gain is only the difference between stock and tuned. But many people forget there is a difference in the stock tune unit to unit. Not all 2010 m5 will dyno the same. If a tuner just happens to tune an m5 that dynos low, does it mean they can get that same difference out of all there tunes? In this case can CA Auto get 60 bhp out of a m5 that dynos 510bhp stock? I believe they would be able to get another 30 out of it not 60.
We saw this a lot with the gt500. Some stock gt500 dyno at 440 rwhp(DJ). Other stock gt500 dyno at 480rwhp(DJ) However after tuning(regardless of tuner) their rear wheel horsepower were all around 520.
Tuner A: 440 to 520 ~ 80hp difference
Tuner B: 480 to 520 ~ 40hp difference
In the example with the GT500's one tuner is not better than the other in terms of power, the only difference is the point at which they started.
I will put some work into allowing people to understand dyno read outs a little more.
What is certain is that there is absolutely no standardisation especially in the US. In the UK atleast we all use flywheel calculation and all use the same gears and shoot out mode. The only variable then becomes the operator and how he straps the car between runs. This is easily caught out.
Will be back later and will correspond with Sticky and get something written up.

Nate Diaz explains eye injury that 'screwed him' in Ben Henderson fight at UFC on FOX 5 - MMAmania.com
All those mixed martial arts (MMA) fans who were disappointed that Nate Diaz wasn't able to get any offense going in his lightweight title fight against Ben Henderson last Saturday night at UFC on FOX 5 in Seattle, say "eye."
The former division number one contender was "screwed" early in the fight, after the champion landed a "Smooth" punch right on the peeper during their KeyArena headliner on the network television broadcast. While Diaz was hoping for a quick recovery, things just went from bad to worse.
From the UFC on FOX 5 post-fight press conference:
"I didn't perform the way I wish I could have. I got a punch in the eye pretty early in the fight and things were blurry. They never came back. I was waiting for it to recover, and when it did I was going to come back strong. But it never did. Ben did great. He landed the good shot early. It was blurry. I was screwed. If I would have tried to get up with anything, or tried to aggress too hard, I think things could've gotten worse. Like I said, I was trying to wait for the eye to recover, until I could see straight. Because I knew it was coming back and I knew I was going to come back strong from it, but I never did. I ran out of time with it, and it sucks. But whatever, that's what happens."
