March 4, 2014
By Stephen Moore
Barack Obama keeps saying there isn't a government program for every problem in America, but you wouldn't know it from reading his new 2015 federal budget.
This nearly $4 trillion document would spend more federal dollars on everything from climate change to green energy to transit systems to welfare state expansion to federal land purchases to day-care subsidies.
The spending blueprint is a back-door scheme to bust the budget caps that already were raised just last December.
It calls for spending $56 billion above those caps, to be paid for by "loophole closing" tax increases to pry more money from businesses and investors. This is a violation of the budget rules Obama agreed to.
And even if the tax loopholes deserve to be closed, the money should be used for a broad reform of the tax code and lower tax rates, as Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp of Michigan called for last week, not as a toll to finance bigger government.
The theme of this budget is "an end to austerity," which is an almost laughable claim given the first-term spending blitz under Obama and the $5 trillion glommed on to the national debt.
As in recent years, this budget camouflages domestic program hikes, partly by pairing them with major reductions in the military budget.
More Roads
Deficit reduction in recent years has come almost exclusively from reductions in troop levels and military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The defense budget is down nearly $100 billion since 2011 and further cuts are on the way this year.
But instead of using those savings to start eliminating an expected half-trillion-dollar deficit, the White House wants to spend $302 billion over four years, including a new infrastructure bank, to finance transportation projects.
Democrats continue to claim that infrastructure spending has been underfunded in recent years, but the budget reality is quite at odds with that assessment.
According to St. Louis Federal Reserve data on highway and road expenditures, public spending rose from $58 billion in 2003 to $74 billion in 2013 — a 46% hike over the past decade (not adjusted for inflation).
Overall public construction spending rose by more than 25% over that 2003-13 period to $267 billion.
These programs aren't being pinched of pennies. And by the way, the cost of federal construction projects might be cut by 10% to 20% — meaning more repaired bridges and more covered potholes — if it were not for federal Davis-Bacon laws requiring de facto union wages paid on all federal construction projects.
Food Stamp Binge
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan reminds us that, for all the talk of spending austerity, the budgets of most domestic agencies and bureaus rose by more than 30%-40% in Obama's first two years of stimulus programs, when $800 billion got passed around.
There are no major entitlement savings in this budget — in fact, there are expansions.
The welfare state has already expanded to new heights under Obama with record enrollments in Medicaid, unemployment insurance, food stamps and disability. One in seven families is now collecting food stamps.
The White House is seeking to enroll almost 6 million more Americans in the earned income tax credit program, at a cost of $60 billion.
The Earned Income Tax Credit is a cash subsidy to working poor families. Obama is not suggesting this as a replacement for existing programs, but in addition to the $1 trillion a year and counting diverted to the welfare state.
We have here on display Obama's vision of liberal governance — a government that will solve every societal problem from obesity to rising sea levels.
It's a budget that should be dead on arrival, but if by chance it still has a heartbeat, sign it up for ObamaCare. That would be a deserving death sentence.

London's Standard Chartered Bank says it expects most precious metals "to recover some ground in the weeks ahead," maintaining their view that "gold prices will trend higher over the medium term."
Nevertheless, Standard Metals Analyst Dan Smith has revised down his gold forecast from $925/oz in the fourth quarter to $850/oz, and reduced his 2009 forecast from $944/oz to $875/oz.
As the gold market is being buffeted by oil and a stronger dollar, Standard expects gold prices "to trend broadly sideways through late 2008 and early 2009. Further upside is expected in late 2009."
In his analysis, Smith found that gold's correlation with the USD trade-weighted index averaged 0.52 but rose to average 0.67 this year. "Our FX strategists have revised their view recently and they now expect the USD to strengthen against the Euro to reach 1.3 by the middle of 2009, which will help push down gold prices," he wrote.
"There will be some more bullish influences through," he added. "Investors continue to fret about the possibility of a crisis in the U.S. banking sector, helping to boost gold from a safe haven perspective. Also, inflation remains a significant problem in a number of countries-boosting gold as a store of value."
Despite an 8% reduction in physical holdings of the main Standard & Poor's Depository Receipt (SPDR) ETF to 651t in mid-August, Smith said, "We believe much of the material is being held for long term-investment purposes, although clearly there is a more speculative short-term component as well. We are assuming that ETF holdings stablise around current levels, although further liquidation represents a downside risk to our forecast."
Acknowledging that gold has been through a turbulent period during the last few months, Smith noted that the higher trend forecast over the medium term "is likely to be choppy, with bouts of USD strength creating significant headwinds. Nevertheless we are forecasting that gold averages USD 850/oz in Q$ (down from USD 925/oz previously. "
"A stronger USD through the first half of 2009 will keep the market in check," he added, "but gold should regard its upward momentum in the second half of 2009 to push through USD 1,000/oz. We are forecasting that the price averages USD 875/oz for the year (down from USD 994/oz previously."
Although Standard Chartered remains pessimistic on aluminum's long-term prospect, "We believe the price is now close to fair value. High-cost producers are now starting to feel the pinch of lower prices and an important supporting factor is that China's smelters have stated that their production cutbacks of up to 10% should be extended into year-end," Smith said.
"Also supportive is that the government is now taxing aluminum alloy exports. This should represent some support on the downside for LME prices."
Standard's analysis found that the copper price "remains vulnerable to speculative spikes should major strike action take hold or should the global economy start to show signs of pulling out of its downward trend. More bearish though is that LME stocks have been moving higher, reducing the threat of an imminent squeeze on supplies."
Smith said that he thinks copper prices "will now struggle to make upward headway in the week ahead. The market has taken on board the deteriorating demand picture, although there is the prospect of a pick-up in Chinese demand in the weeks ahead, post Olympics, as power and coal become more freely available. The main upside risk is that the Chinese government decides to restimulate the economy either through a fiscal boost or through loosening of monetary policy."
"The lead market has been incredibly volatile through August, much more so than its base metals peers," Smith noted. "The physical market is already oversupplied according to most estimates and mine supply is accelerating, due to rapid growth in Australia and Bolivia."
"With both lead and zinc prices now both sharply down on a year ago," Smith said that some relief has come from mine cutbacks, very lower Chinese exports and low LME inventories.
"Producers need to do more though to prevent a serious market glut developing over the next twelve months. We are looking for lead prices to regain some ground heading into the peak winter season," he said.
Smith asserted that "nickel has turned out to be the best performer of the base metals in the last few years. The three-month price is currently at USD 22,800/t, up 1.5% from a month ago. While LME stocks are still the highest in the complex …the industry has proved to be very price sensitive and rapid supply cutbacks have had a major impact on the supply-demand balance for this year. This has helped to turn sentiment. As a result we have cut our forecast oversupply for this year by 29kt to 24kt."
"A key question for nickel going forward is whether a recovery in the stainless steel market will take hold. Over the remainder of this year we are certainly more positive about this sector, which is likely to make double digit gains in H2 at least on a y/y basis," he noted.
"Realistically though the industry is still facing strong headwinds from a slowing global economy and we expect any optimism to be short-lived," Smith advised.
Standard noted that tin prices "have been knocked back sharply from their recent highs, showing the market's vulnerability to broader moves in the commodities complex. …Despite this, tin is still fundamentally in a strong position. While tin consumption will clearly not be immune to the weaker economic backdrop, supply remains tightly controlled and the key producing countries of China and Indonesia-which account for 60% of global output-have both struggled in recent months."
In fact, Smith expects tin "to be the best performing base metal in the months ahead, with prices remaining high and volatile. While consumption growth is minimal, supply cutbacks will drive the market into deficit."
Smith said that zinc prices have also held up well through the heavy base-metals sell off. "This is largely because prices are already substantially down from their highs and have already taken on board a large dose of bearish news."
"One important supportive factor has been an announcement from China's government that it had removed the 5% VAT rebate that previously applied to the bulk of exports," he noted. "While this will tighten up global supplies, China's market could end up being swamped with excess metal."
Meanwhile the slumping European and U.S. housing market "also raise question marks about future offtake from the construction sector-an important market for zinc consumers," he added.
Smith continues to believe that "the medium term outlook for zinc is pretty dire. The market is being hit by a double whammy of rising mine supply and weakening demand growth, with galvanisers particularly exposed to the housing and construction markets. Prices should trend lower in the months ahead.

Just before Drew coach Jarrett Laws blew his whistle to start Tuesday's practice, he had a few final words for his team.
"This game," Laws said this chilly, breezy early Fall day. "This is to see who hangs a banner. We are playing for the subregion title."
The players let out a big yell just before starting preparation for a Region 4-AAAAA, Div. A contest against Union Grove (7-1, 4-0) at Southern Crescent Stadium on Friday. The winner is the subregion champion and plays the No. 4 seed from the other side of the region to see who advances to the state playoffs.
"Everybody has to come prepared to play," Drew running back Lester Knauls said.
Just two weeks ago, Drew (6-2, 3-1) didn't look as if it would be in contention for a shot at the subregion title. A 32-31 loss to Mundy's Mill seemed to have put a big dent into its title hopes.
However, Drew got a reprieve when Mundy's Mill lost to Union Grove last week.
A Drew loss to Union Grove would send them to the No. 3 spot in the region. Union Grove is guaranteed no worse then second if it loses.
"This is what we have been working on the last four years at Drew," Laws said. "We want to be in a position where the final games of the regular season mean something."
Last season, Drew was in a similar situation heading into Game 8 of its schedule. The Titans faced Henry County with a shot at second place in the region.
However, a 7-0 loss sent the Titans to the No. 4 seed and a first round playoff road trip to Waynesboro where they lost 42-7 to eventual state champ Burke County.
Laws said his team has learned from its first playoff run.
"Our kids learned about the importance of preparation," he said. "I think we got a little confident last season when we hit that winning streak. They go around practice now telling each other to not let up."
Union Grove learned its lesson already this season. The Wolverines were 2-0 going into a late September game against Whitewater but left it with a 39-0 humbling loss.
Union Grove hasn't lost since.
"It wasn't a good thing, but it was," Wolverines senior lineman Tyler Vaughn said. "We realized things just aren't going to be handed to us."
Now, the Wolverines find themselves in the top spot. That's not without precedent for the program, but it's new for this group that went 3-7 and 5-5 the past two seasons.
"It feels like a huge target," Union Grove senior running back Derrick Craine said. "This is where we wanted to be. The seniors, we've never been at No. 1 as starters, so it's a big step. It just feels good. It's good to show improvement from year to year."
But Wolverines coach Paul Burgdorf isn't worried about his team being overwhelmed by the game's significance. He said the players know the importance, but he and his staff haven't emphasized it this week at practice.
Instead, he's relying on the humility of a senior group that's experienced some tough times the past two seasons but have Union Grove back in the playoff hunt.
"They've seen 3-7 and 5-5 and now 7-1," Burgdorf said. "We also started about eight sophomores, but they won the county championship as ninth graders. No one's shaking in their boots."

ORRINGTON, Maine (AP) -- Maine officials are investigating stray bullets fired into a neighborhood that may have come from an Orrington gun club.
A Penobscot County deputy sheriff says his office is awaiting video footage from the Orrington Rod and Gun Club's surveillance system.
Deputy Chad Young says the club is cooperating fully in the investigation.
Authorities are investigating a complaint filed by local landowner Jerry Perkins, who opens his 375 acres to snowmobiles and hunters and some commercial loggers.
Perkins says a logger working on his property Jan. 30 heard and saw bullets whizzing over his head while changing a tire on a log harvester.
The logger told the Bangor Daily News that he feared he and his truck would be struck by a ricocheting bullet.

With "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" hitting theaters later today, we're finally nearing the end of the never-ending premieres and public appearances.
Kristen Stewart turned it out again for the movie's Madrid photo call, stepping out in a Julien Macdonald dress with a metallic collar.
The look was a departure from the lacy numbers she wore to the Los Angeles and London premieres ... and we think she still looks great!
The boys played it more casual as well, doing the photo call in jeans and button-ups.
After Madird, the trio will make one more stop in Germany ... and then they're done ... forever!
Check out more pics from the photo call above.

PDEnRich™ Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Enrichment Reagent
Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Enrichment Reagent
- Ratio of Total Phosphodiesterase Activity* relative to total protein content increases 4-10X
- PDE protein recoverable, ~70 µg
- Up to 50X concentration of PDE volume, relative to starting volume can be obtained
- 45 minute, scaleable protocol compatible with functional assays, electrophoresis and Mass Spec
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) hydrolyze the secondary messengers cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP) at their 3'-phosphodiester bond, to yield 5'-adenosine monophosphate (5'AMP or AMP) and 5'-guanosine monophosphate (5'GMP or GMP) respectively. These secondary messengers maintain homeostasis and thus play a pivotal role in regulating cellular pathways.
While inhibition of this class of enzymes has had clinical success, a major challenge in designing inhibitors that specifically inhibit PDE subtypes has been the sequence conservation of the catalytic domain among PDE subfamilies. Thus, new methods that can prospect into the structure and the functional properties of conformational variants of PDEs are urgently needed, as the success of PDE inhibitors will depend upon such characterization. The development of a robust enrichment method would be a crucial first step for drug discovery and biomarker classification within the PDE class. However, classical substrate affinity methods have not evolved because of the instability of the cyclic phospho-ester bond. PDEnRich™ is a new reagent kit used for the enrichment and isolation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP) phosphodiesterases.
PDEnRich™ was discovered upon screening a silica-based, multi-dimensional surface library and optimized for the enrichment of phosphodiesterase activity*. The standard prep protocol starts with 100 µl of tissue/cell extracts, or approximately 0.5 mg total protein, but the process can be scaled up or down to accommodate different sample volumes and protein concentrations. The kit includes all necessary reagents for immediate use.

Perhaps my favorite thing that exists in the world is irony, and while I know this story doesn't actually "mean" anything tangible, it has about as much of the stuff as you could cram into anything particularly related to video games. Why? The actor portraying Sony's great marketing icon "Kevin Butler" is appearing in a Bridgestone advertisement that contains a tie-in with the Wii.
It's not clear to me whether this is a contest or a promotion or something less significant, but it is- for what it's worth- ironic.

Once she graduated from university, Erika expected that she'd finally have some free time. Of course, this meant she should purchase a sewing machine right away. Which she did. And then, she fashioned for herself an apron –– and the compliments started a-rollin' right on in. Since she'd always hoped to work for herself someday, Erika decided there was no time like the present. She started designing a whole slew of aprons –– and though her process is equal parts messy and organized, one step is always the same. Trying on each apron in the mirror before shippin' it out.

Thoughts on boat
What do you all think about this boat? 1980 Grady White 241 Weekender 2006 Engine For Sale In Port Orchard, Washington - BoatTrader.com
Thinking I might have to go take a look at it this week if I get off early enough. Then maybe go talk to the bank.
I will have to get the loan for more because i want electronics. More than likely a radar as well as a GPS/Fishfinder unit.
looks like a very clean boat. i dont know much about boats but does the price seem a little high?
GW is a decent boat. I'm not a big fan of the transom design, but it's not by itself in that.
But boat for the money, I think I'd pass.
You can get much more boat for less coin
I did a little research, gave it a boat load (no pun intended) of goodies (depth/fish finder/24 mile radar/swim platform/hyd. trim tabs/transom lift, blah blah blah..) and came up with this:
Low retail: $9,370
Average: $10,260
I know your an under the water type, but take a look at these links before you go spending your hard earned $$$ sailor:
Boat Review by David Pascoe - Grady-White Offshore 24
(Consider this may be just one person's rambling and not a professional opinion):
Used 1980 GRADY WHITE BOATS WEEKENDER 241 prices, specs and options at NADAguides.com
If I were going with a GW I'd look at something like this:
1984 Grady-White 22 Dual Console For Sale In Miami/33181, Florida - BoatTrader.com
Or this for the same $$$more boat/newer/equally good condition/less coin:
1984 Grady-White 22 Dual Console For Sale In Miami/33181, Florida - BoatTrader.com
And take a look at this one:
Bigger, more versatility (has a larger cabin), twins (says singel on the ad?) and newer for less money:
1984 Grady-White 252g Sailfish For Sale In Church Creek, Maryland - BoatTrader.com
Whatever you decide, for that much money, make sure that you have it surveyed and pay particular attention to the decks and transom area, stringers, etc.
Enjoy the topside
SAR Pirate
GW is a descent boat, what are you going to be doing on it, fishing, family cruising..... The difference b/w the boat you found and the ones listed above is the engine.... The one you found has a new engine in it and the owner is trying to pay for it. It seems like a nice boat as long as there are no cracks on the deck/hull/transom. I wouldn't take it offshore though because its only got one engine but like i said before it depends on what your going to use it for. I would see how willing the the seller is to drop the price. I would recommend trying to get it for around 14 and it would be a pretty good deal on both ends. Also be sure to check and make sure it doesn't already come with electronics. also make sure the trailer is included and its in good shape, It is not a bad boat and the newer mericruiser is a good find but make sure you check out if its still under warranty etc... that could be worth a little extra money in itself. Lastly make sure you put it IN the water and RUN it before you buy it!
even though some boats may be an '85 or even '95 the engine could be a ticking time bomb depending on what brand and how many hours. The mericruiser is a great inboard where once you get into older ones then they could just be oil burners or outboards with 2vs.4 strokes and then on top of that some years on certain brands are prone to just never working right. just a thought check out this website, The Hull Truth - Powered by vBulletin, I am on here a lot and you can find out how good your boat really is because these guys have tons of experience.
All in all its not a bad boat for family cruising and some simple fishing like jigging. It is NOT a troller or any big game fisher. But my .02 says don't pay more than 13,500...
Good luck finding the right boat!

Omaha Sets Record Low Temperature
By Matt Monroe . CREATED Jul 16, 2014
It was certainly another cool start to the day. In fact, for the second straight morning, we set new record morning lows! Omaha's low was 53, breaking the old record of 54 set in 1976 and 1967. Lincoln also set a new record of 48, the old record was 50 in 1912. And Norfolk had a record low of 47, breaking their old record of 50, set way back in 1906.
The average low for Omaha this time of year is 67 degrees. So why is it so cool? There's a big trough of low pressure to our east, and a large ridge of high pressure to our west. That set-up is allowing cool Canadian air to drop in from the northwest between the two systems. The air mass is also very dry, with low dewpoints, and clear skies. This also allows the temps to drop into record territory.
It looks like things will remain the same for at least another day. So we could see more record lows again Thursday morning. The record low in Omaha is 53 degrees, set just a few short years ago in 2009. With a projected low tonight in the mid 50's, we should be very close to that mark tomorrow morning. We'll be following the low temperatures very closely, on KMTV Action 3 News This Morning. So stay tuned. We'll see how low we can go!

Figure skater Abby Green makes it a happy return to action
Posted: March 15, 2014|
BREASTON figure skater Abby Green made the perfect start to the year with a double success at the Telford Open.
The 13-year-old Friesland School pupil won both the advanced novice short and advanced novice free programmes by several points to give her the perfect boost as she targets a podium place at the next British Championships.
She finished sixth in the national championships last year.
She is also due to fly out to Chicago in June to attend a two-week training camp with two Olympic and World Championship figure skating coaches, Alexander Vedenin and Shanette Folle.

Any Experience with these products? Are they useful for backpacking (fitting into Bear Canisters, providing lasting energy. I have been considering these or a Carb Powder for 7 day JMT Segment hike for a source of carbs to fuel throughout the day. Any thoughts or prior experience using them is appreciated.
My 19 year old son just came back from Yosemite, and he and a friend used them before they hiked to the top of Half Dome, and had great things to say.He felt instant energy boost, after eating one of the packs.He didn't remember the brand or type, but it sounds like it worked.Not sure on lasting benefits, but it seemed like an immediate help.Z.
i normally start with something with a slightly higher amount of caffeine in the morning (like the powerbar tangerine), then use cliff shots throughout the day when im hiking fast (i like the strawberry and vanilla). the cliff shots seem to be more natural/better for you, but i don't like coffee flavored stuff, so i like the tangerine powerbar gel for first thing in the morning.i also carry one protein bar for each day im hiking as a end of the day recovery bar. i found that they help me from being sore if i push myself hard
Edited by Mtn_nut on 08/12/2010 14:45:59 MDT.
I like a Clif Shot Double Espresso or Mocha before a hard workout or hike. Seems to help with my energy level over the short term...
Edited by jdw01776 on 08/12/2010 18:29:24 MDT.
I'm a fan of Hammer Nutrition,B-fast- Hammer HEED plus a power granola bar and some dehydrated fruit.Lunch- Hammer Perpeteum plus some homemade jerky and cheese maybe a tort if I'm still hungrySnack- clif shot blocks or a honey packetDinner- dehydrated potatos or soup a snickers and a Hammer Recoverite.They also make a Tissue Rejuvenator and an anti fatigue, both I use (two per day)Enjoy the hike!
The body's preferred source of energy is sugar, and caffeine and B vitamins help a little. If you're going to make carb powder because you need a lot of energy, you can buy maltodextrin and sugar for much cheaper per unit than this GU. Caffeine is cheap if you can afford the time to make tea or coffee in the morning. Or, you can just supplement caffeine in pill form with No Doz. Cereals, nuts, or sundried tomatoes will take care of the vitamins they put in the GU, and then some. And personally, I think the "amino acid blend" is a gimmick.//edit: Just make sure to have enough water so your urine isn't cloudy! You probably sweat much more while hiking than when at home, and so you can't eat/act like you're at home either.

My Email Digests
And also, I know the adjust ages are used to compare our preemies to full term babies, but sometimes it just takes a little bit extra time for the our guys to get going and "catch up". My son was always a smidge behind on milestones even according to his adjusted age, but at 18 months, he is pretty much caught up with his peers at this point. Continue to be vigilent... it is a good idea to ask your ped and get these things checked out... but try not to get overly anxious and worried. HTH!View Thread
2. Are you the mom, the dad, the grandparent, or someone else? I'm the mommy!
3. Does a parent stay home with your child/children or do they go to daycare? DH and I switch off shifts during the day to take care of DS. DH works from about 4-8am. When he gets home, I head to work. It is exhausting, but it worked. I think we are going to try and do daycare soon, but til then...
4. Was parenthood exactly what you thought it would be? I don't think I had many expections going into it, so no!
5. Do you want more children? Maybe, but not anytime soon!View Thread
2. Birth weight/length? 5lbs 2oz, 18 1/2 inches
3. How long were you in the NICU, if at all? 3 weeks
4. Why was he/she born early? I had PROM... I was sick all day, and my water just ended up breaking that night! Other than that, I had a totally uneventful pregnancy.
5. How big is your LO now? He is 13 1/2 months now. I am not sure of his exact measurements now, but at his 12 month appt he was 22lbs 6oz and 32 inches tall... he is my little stringbean!
6. Newest accomplishment? He's just recently learned to give us kisses! He is also starting to make some progress with his shape sorter. He will sometimes try to put the shape in the wrong slot, but if you point to the right hole the shape is supposed to go in, he can usually manuver around the shape to get it in!View Thread
Is it hard to read because your board/conversations move too fast?
-No, not at all. I think that conversations are actually moving more slowly with the new format.
Is it because the What's Happening Now feed only shows what's new?
-No, this was same with the old board, so I don't think that is the problem either.
Is it because you can only see 15 posts at a time on the What's Happening Now page?
-Yes! You don't see as many new posts and you need to scroll alot to see all of the front page posts.
Is the page too cluttered?
Sort of. I don't think the problem is with the amount of content so much as the layout of the content. None of the separate sections (e.g., Helpful Tips, Popular Discussions, etc.) are deliniated by borders or colors so they all just tend to blob together on the white background. I have actually clicked on the wrong links a few times because it is so hard to see when one section ends and another begins. I also personally am not a fan of having bits of the post conversation show up under the title on the front page... it takes up too much room, and if I like the title, I will just click on the link anyway.
One other dislike is that the most recent poster's name shows up under the post title on the main page. I find that this makes it more difficult to track posts that you may want to follow. I don't think it would be bad to include the name of the last poster, but I think the name of the original poster should also be included for consistency. HTH!View Thread

Police: Mom helped hide the body in Turnage case
Baltimore City Police have charged the mother of one of the boys convicted of killing 13-year-old Monae Turnage.
Veronica Alford was charged Thursday with various offenses including obstructing and hindering, giving false statements to police and being an accessory after the shooting death.
According to court documents, Alford allegedly helped the two juveniles take Turnage's body out of the home where she had been shot and the hide her in an alley behind that home in an attempt to cover up what the boys had done. Police say her DNA was found on Turnage's body.
Turnage was shot and killed in East Baltimore in March when the two boys accidentally fired a rifle while playing with hit. The bullet hit Turnage in the chest, killing her.
Turnage's body was found by her brother in an alley, covered with garbage bags.
Another man, Martinez Armstrong, who is the half brother of one of the boys, was also charged with being a felon in possession of the rifle that was used to kill Turnage.
In early October, the State's Attorney decided not to press charges against Officer John Ward, who was involved with a relative of one of the juveniles at the time of the shooting, was accused of hiding the gun that was used in his car. Officials say the did not have enough evidence to pursue charges.

What are the Markie Awards?
The Markie Awards celebrate and recognize excellent marketing — when right-brain creativity and left-brain analytics combine together for greatness. The winner in each category receives a beautiful statue to announce to the world what they've accomplished. This is your chance to shine and earn the recognition that you deserve.
Who can enter?
Any marketer anywhere that has demonstrated results from their marketing activities.
Is the 2015 Markies just for marketers in North America?
No. The 2015 is open to marketers around the world. Beginning in 2014, the European and North American Markie Awards were combined into one GLOBAL Markies program. There is no longer a stand alone European Markies program, and the Markies will take place only once per year.
How do I enter the 2015 Markie Awards?
NEW! The submission period for the 2015 Markie Awards is now closed. Finalists will be announced on February 27, 2015. Winners will be announced on April 1st at the Markie Awards ceremony at Modern Marketing Experience North America in Las Vegas.
If I cannot attend the Awards Ceremony can I still enter? Can I still win?
Absolutely. You do not need to be present to win. Several past winners have been unable to attend and instead designated someone to accept on their behalf.
How many finalists will be announced in each category?
Due to the number of high-quality submissions we receive, we plan to announce four finalists per category. All finalists will receive a crystal plaque to honor their achievement during the awards ceremony (or mailed to them after that date if they are unable to attend).
Can I enter more than one category?
Yes. For example, you may want to submit your cross-channel marketing program and your lead nurturing program, each into their respective categories. However we ask that you enter a specific campaign into only one category. (If the judging panel thinks it is mis-categorized you will be notified that it is being moved into a new category.) Please note that no single company will be selected as a finalist or winner in more than three categories.
Can I enter an older campaign that started two years ago?
We ask that you limit your entries to programs or campaigns that had the bulk of their work or results in the last 12 months.
I want to enter in a category from last year, but I don't see it on this year's list of categories. Can I still enter in this category?
No. In order to keep the Markie Awards fresh and relevant to Modern Marketers, we review and revamp our list of categories each year. We will only accept submissions for the categories listed for 2015. Our new category list can be viewed below.
What makes a winning entry?
This answer varies per category. In general, our judging panel gives preference to submissions that are able to show measurable and strong results. It is perfectly acceptable to include charts, graphs and other items that visually represent performance. Also remember that a 3-page entry may sometimes be more effective than a 20-page entry, especially if you're able to distill the important facts clearly for the judging panel. You can review the nominated submissions on this website to see what it takes to be selected as a Markie finalist. All submissions should be backed up with clear results and metrics, which demonstrate success.

In fact, there are some email communications that are so well written, so masterfully designed, that it's only a question of when people will respond, not if. Achieving extraordinary response rates isn't luck. It's the result of great targeting, content, personalization, and timing. Show us your best performing email—whether it's fancy HTML or simple text—and the response it drove to compete for this Markie. Download entry form
Going Mobile – You've got web, email, social, and display. But have you created personalized experiences with messages and promotions optimized for mobile?

Inspire us by sharing your creativity in screenshots or links. Download entry form
Revenue Growth – Has your marketing team cracked the code on driving revenue growth? Share your formula for success to earn a Markie for this prestigious award. Nominations must demonstrate a specific quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year revenue growth rate driven in large part by integrated and repeatable marketing campaigns and processes. Download entry form
Rookie of the Year – This award is open to those who have successfully implemented any Oracle Marketing Cloud cross-channel marketing, content marketing, social marketing, or data management and activation technology in the past year. Enabling a high performance marketing culture isn't always easy.

So how do some businesses make it look easy in their first year? The Rookie of the Year award honors fast starters for their superb planning, execution, and results. Download entry form
Video Submissions
If you would like, you may supplement your Markie submission with video to allow you to tell the best, most memorable parts of your success story in a more personal way. This is not simply meant to be a verbal recap of your submission document, but rather a complementary part of the submission process. We want to know about the real-world people and details behind your Markie accomplishments. Be creative, be memorable, and have fun!
What makes a great story?
According to Chip Heath, co-author of Made to Stick, the best stories have these elements: real people that others can identify with, concrete details, an unexpected element, and an emotional pay off. Think of your story in three parts: the big problem that needs to be addressed, something that made the problem even worse, and then a satisfying ending where everything is resolved. Questions to ask yourself as you build your story: Who is the main character and how can others relate to him/her? Is there a villain? What "solution" did you try that actually made the problem worse? Who were your trusty companions along the way? Did you do something that you didn't think was possible? Describe the victory: both the emotional reaction and the metrics.
How will these videos be used?
The judging committee will watch them and take them into account in the judging process. We may show them during the Markies ceremony at Modern Marketing Experience 2014, and they will become part of the Markies website. In the future, they may also be shared on our Topliners community or perhaps shown at future events.
Video Guidelines and Details:
Videos should be no more than 1-minute in length. You will be asked in your submission document to share the URL of your video, so please post it on YouTube, Vimeo, or some other similar service.

"It allows you to visualize and explore climate change information for a specific area and then download that data for further analysis."
|Evan Girvetz,
The Nature Conservancy
When working in coastal areas to develop plans to adapt to climate change, many coastal resource managers wish for a simple way to depict how climate has or is projected to change in a given area. A new Internet tool is helping managers access, analyze, and interpret climate-change information at the state and regional scale.
"The idea behind the tool," says Evan Girvetz, a senior scientist with The Nature Conservancy's Global Climate Change Program, "is to take massive databases of climate change information and summarize it in useful and intuitive ways. It allows you to visualize and explore climate change information for a specific area and then download that data for further analysis."
The Climate Wizard tool was launched in January 2009 at www.climatewizard.org. Developed by The Nature Conservancy, the University of Washington, and the University of Southern Mississippi, the tool generates color maps of projected temperature and precipitation changes using 16 of the world's most prominent climate-change models.
Climate Wizard allows the user to choose a state or country and to quickly see how climate may change by month, season, or year under different emission scenarios.
"Climate Wizard represents the first time that the full range of climate history and impacts for a landscape have been brought together in a user-friendly format," says Chris Zganjar, climate change ecologist and information specialist for The Nature Conservancy's Global Climate Change Program.
Girvetz notes that managers have already used the tool to consider how habitat shifts will affect endangered species, to understand the potential impacts to a variety of conservation areas, and to evaluate and develop climate-resilient management strategies.
"When you know a specific ecosystem is becoming even drier as a result of climate change, then there are actions that can be implemented on the ground to be more resilient to those changes," says Girvetz, who worked on the Climate Wizard tool during postdoctoral work at the University of Washington's School of Forest Resources.
While Climate Wizard is a significant advancement in viewing climate data, Zganjar stresses that it is currently limited to atmospheric data and doesn't include data on water temperatures or sea levels. He says that coast-relevant data will be added to Climate Wizard as more complete models are developed.
Another limitation is that the tool isn't "able to tell coastal managers how local climate patterns will change. It only shows what the general patterns are in a region," Zganjar says.
Girvetz says the response to the tool has been overwhelming, and efforts are already underway to incorporate the newest climate change models.
He adds, "We want to provide more data and continue to make the site better. It has to stay current and dynamic."
To view Climate Wizard, go to www.climatewizard.org. For more information, you may contact Evan Girvetz at (206) 343-4344 or email@example.com, or Chris Zganjar at (703) 841-2724 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Automotive Digital Marketing ProCom
Professional Community for Car Dealers, Automotive Marketers and Sales Managers
(And look at the image beside it instead).
I've been doing a lot of research on eye-tracking studies recently, and I would like to share with you some insights. The following tips can benefit how your dealership's website grabs your online shopper's attention. The results you can expect will drive more traffic into your showroom and service center.
Logo Placement
Since most shoppers read from left to right, it makes sense that the top left corner is where most people start looking when they are on a website. It also makes sense that this is the place that most companies put their logo - because it shows shoppers that they are in the right place and answers the question, "Where am I?"
The F Shape and How Your Shoppers Read
You should also know that shoppers often look at your content in an "F" pattern, reading across, scrolling down, reading across, and scrolling down and skimming toward the bottom. (See #4 on this Kissmetrics blog).
So when you are deciding on a layout, pay attention to where your shopper's eyes will typically go to read and view your content, and…last, but not least:
Keep the Most Important Elements Above the Fold
Make sure the content you want to attract your shoppers to most is above the fold. For example, if searching your inventory is their most important action, make sure to place a "Search Inventory" box with drop downs or text boxes on the left-hand side of the page directly under the menu bar for easy access.
For a good example of this setup, check out Joyce Koons Honda's website here.
Many dealerships love including banner ads on their website, however shoppers have been programmed to completely ignore their existence - especially when the images on those banners offer no value to the customer.
If you're going to use banners (sometimes you don't have a choice if your OEM requires it) - make sure to have "Why Buy" statements on each slide, and an outstanding call-to-action button that really persuades your shopper to click. Otherwise, create space for buttons that make it very simple for a shopper to answer their second question, "What can I do here?"
3 Important Things to Include in Any Scrolling Banner Ad:
"Why Buy" statement such as "Low Monthly Payments to Fit Every Budget".
A call-to-action button such as "Get Details", "Get Pre-Approved in Seconds", "View Specials", etc. DO NOT use submit or click here buttons.
Imagery that is effective, but not distracting.
Lastly, if you are including buttons on the left side of your banner, make sure those buttons aren't covering up anything important on your banner like the image below!
You may think that adding social buttons to your website is an awesome way to get more shoppers and customers to like your pages and engage with you on social, however the important reality is you are directing your shoppers off of your website. And since you probably spent thousands of dollars on advertising trying to get those shoppers to your site in the first place, it's counterproductive to put buttons on your site that are pretty much a big EXIT sign.
Instead of using the social media buttons, ActivEngage recommends putting your social pages on a Social Media Toolbar that allows shoppers to browse your social pages while they are on your website, without being redirected off the site. You can also include your review pages like Yelp or DealerRater, directions to your store, your blog, a chat button (see below for statistics on click-through rates), and much more - which your shoppers can take a look at without leaving your website!
Check out how Don Ayres Honda uses the Social Media Toolbar on their website here!
Chat Buttons
ActivEngage has completed numerous studies on our chat graphics. We know that the static chat button and park-feature button alone get 10-20% of the clicks from your unique visitors to chat:
Our behaviorally targeted chat invites receive 30-40% of clicks to chat:
And the chat button on our Social Media Toolbar receives 40-50% of clicks to chat:
This data shows that depending on where you place your chat buttons and which ones you include on your site (we recommend a combination of all of them to be the most effective), you are likely to get more or less clicks-to-chat, and therefore more or less leads, and more or less sales from chat. This is also why we highly recommend having a Social Media Toolbar with chat! - it's going to grab the most attention.
The best practices for the placement of chat buttons are as follows:
The static chat button should be placed in the header on every page of your website.
The chat invites should be behaviorally targeted based on the user experience. You want to ensure this button pops up on any page where your shopper would have the most questions, such as your homepage, VDP pages, specials pages, service page, and financing page.
The park-feature chat button is most effective on the left side of your page.
It's also wise to use pictures of people on your chat buttons to encourage clicks (See #8 on this article by QuickSprout). However, according to ActivEngage research, it's not just images of people, but actually images of attractive people that get the most clicks - and attractive female images often grab the most attention overall (regardless of the gender who is viewing the image). Also, the model's appearance (hair color, skin color, etc) should directly correlate with your region's demographics.
Call-to-Action Buttons
When you place call-to-action buttons on your website, you want them to stand out. However oftentimes when I look at dealership websites, I find that the button blends in too much with other elements of the page.
Make sure that the button is surrounded by enough white space to call attention to it. Also, the colors of your call-to-action buttons should be different than any other color on your website to make sure it stands out.
Here's an example of a good call-to-action button:
For some more tips on call-to-action buttons, check out these 20 Do's and Don'ts for Calls-to-Action from Hubspot.

Gum Disease Almost 100 Percent PreventableThursday, January 30th, 2014
Do you wear sunscreen on blistering hot days? Do you buckle your seat belt when going on a road trip? Like these measures, taking care of your gums and teeth marks the benefits of preventative care. Think ahead of time. Not only will staying on top of your gum health ward off unwanted accidents, it might also keep money in the bank later on.
The early stage of gum disease, called gingivitis, is the inflammation of your gums. Red tissue, receding gum lines and bleeding gums after brushing are all telltale signs of gingivitis. This occurs when plaque is allowed to accumulate in the pockets between where your teeth meet the gums. Plaque contains bacteria, which produce toxins that slowly eat away at the tissue. Although gums may be irritated at this point, teeth remain firmly planted in their sockets, and no irreversible bone damage has occurred yet.
If left untreated, however, gingivitis may progress to periodontal disease, or advanced-stage gum disease. At this point, the inner layer of the gum and bone begin to pull away from teeth, creating small pockets. The deeper the pockets, the more space bacteria have to grow.
At its nastiest, gum disease can result in the loss of teeth as well as the bones that support the teeth.
Biggest causes of gum diseases:
• Tobacco products: Smoking, chewing and any other use of tobacco has been shown as one of the leading causes of gum disease. The chemicals in tobacco leave harmful bacteria in the mouth, which erodes the gum tissue. When this happens, smoker's breath might be the least of one's concerns. Cigarettes, cigars and pipes contribute to gingivitis and periodontitis.
