UK: Western Europe car sales up 4.1% in June
By just-auto.com editorial team | 6 July 2009
According to data released by JD Power Automotive Forecasting, car sales in Western Europe grew by 4.1% over last year in June, the first positive year-on-year result for over a year.
The result reflects the continued impact of incentives, especially in Germany where the gain on last year was 40.5%. JD Power said that the German car market is up 26.1% so far this year and may hit 4m units for the whole of the year.
Car markets in France and Italy also continued to benefit from incentives and, in both cases, positive gains were achieved in June. The French market rose by 7% while car sales in Italy were up by almost 12%.
However, the UK and Spanish markets remained in strongly negative territory, though it is clear that incentive schemes in both countries are having a positive impact and helping to moderate the rate of decline.
Scrappage incentive schemes, combined with significant discounts from vehicle manufacturers, are producing a total Western European car market which could be on a par with or close to that of 2008.
JD Power said that the incentives have had the effect of stabilising the market and preventing what would otherwise have become a collapse.
However, the firm cautioned that the post-incentive environment is likely to present a major challenge to the industry in 2010.
The key market in this respect, it said, is Germany. When the incentive scheme expires at the end of 2009 as planned, the negative impact 'will be large'.
Past incentive schemes in France, Italy and Spain have been renewed once it has become clear that a given market will suffer upon the incentive expiry, it said, so nobody can say with confidence which schemes will be renewed in 2010.
JD Power warned that a negative German market correction from this year's expected near 4m unit market could send 2010's German car market as low as 2.6m units.
JD Power forecasts a West European car market of 13.33m units in 2009, which compares with 13.56m units in 2008 and 14.8m in 2007.

Prison guards guard prisoners in jail or a penal institution. They ensure that all prisoners are accounted for and make sure that all rules and regulations are being followed. They may also guard prisoners on the way to court or other scheduled proceedings.
The main job of a prison guard is to monitor the conduct of prisoners in their cells, during their work time and during recreational time. Their job is to follow regulations and procedures that have been set up when violence breaks out or when a prisoner tries to escape. It is also their job to inspect all parts of the facility each day including locks, doors, windows and gates to ensure that there is no chance of escape. They conduct head counts several times a day to ensure that all prisoners are present and no one is missing. They process and admit prisoners to the system and provide them with a cell. They guard the entrance to the facility and admit the public for visiting hours. Prison guards may randomly search prisoners, their living space and belongings for contraband such as drugs or weapons. They search prisoners mail before distribution. They may perform shakedowns on prisoners. At times they may have to use weapons and force when trying to control unruly prisoners. Physical force is not uncommon in this job.
Prison Guard Salary:
The prison guard salary averages about $43,000 per year in the United States. The prison guard wage depends on factors such as experience, type of place you work, location and more. Location is very important when it comes to the prison guard income. Certain cities and states offer differing salary amounts due to a higher need and differing rates of living. The highest prison guard salary can be found in the following states: Alaska, New York, Massachusetts, California and New Jersey. Alaska is a state with a high prison guard pay rate. In Alaska the average salary is $55,000 per year. New York and Massachusetts also offer a higher pay rate for prison guards of $57,000 per year. The prison guard income in California is $67,000 per year. The top salary for prison guards can be found in New Jersey with an average salary of $70,000 per year. All of these amounts are averages and it is possible to make even more than the listed amounts.
Prison Guard Education:
You may be surprised, but there is a college degree required in order to become a prison guard. Many times having experience in the military or in law enforcement will provide the experience you need for this job and bypass the need for an associate degree. However, if you plan to go this route you can obtain an associate degree in law enforcement, criminal justice or other types of police activities. The average time to complete your degree depends on the degree you choose, but it typically takes about two to four years to complete. Federal penal facilities require you to have a bachelor's degree. Courses of study may vary depending on the type of degree you choose. Once you have obtained your degree, you may start applying for jobs. Most prison guard jobs require you to pass an aptitude test in addition to a background and drug test. New applicants must be under 37 years of age and a US citizen. Additional training will be provided once you have been hired. Specialized training may also be required depending on the type of facility you work in. On the job training typically takes an additional year to complete.
Prison Guard Work Environment:
The work environment for a prison guard is typically within a jail or penal facility. They may also work in rehab and drug centers. Prison guards are on their feet for the majority of their shift and they must be alert at all times. The job duties of a prison guard are often dangerous and stressful due to confrontations with unruly prisoners. Prison guards have one of the highest rates for job injuries due to the nature of the job. Prison guards work inside the facilities and outside in the prison yard and may be exposed to the elements. The work schedule for prison guards is a forty hour work week that consists of rotating shifts. Nights, weekends and holidays may be required as a normal part of the job.
Prison guards are an important part of the penal system. They ensure that prisoners are safe and are not able to escape. This is not a job for just anyone due to the nature of the job. There are more than 475,000 people employed as prison guards. The rate of jobs being added to the market is about an average of five percent. Which means that there will be an additional 25,000 jobs added within the next eight years.

Search the full Web with this new client.
Microsoft is working to deliver a search alternative to Google on Android smartphones, promising a Bing app within the next two months. Android users may already know that there is a Bing client available for Android, but it's limited toward mapping tasks and little else.
The new Bing client will offer the full functionality of Bing.com on desktops, allowing users to search the whole web for images, videos, news, and so forth. Microsoft continues to try to expand Bing's reach. The one-year-old search engine served up just under 13 percent of all searches performed last month, trailing Yahoo! and Google.

The African Union is following, with deep concern, the declarations and communiqués issued recently by some of the Burundian parties regarding the peace process and the implementation of the cease-fire agreements concluded between the transitional government and the armed groups.
The African Union would like to refer, especially, to the communiqué issued by the CNDD on 21 February 2003, as well as to the press release by UPRONA, dated 22 February, and expresses its deep concern with this evolution, which will jeopardize the progress made in the restoration of peace and harmony in Burundi. The African Union notes that these developments come at a time when all factions have been exhorted to do their utmost to respect their commitments to join their efforts with those of the international community with a view to scrupulously implementing the different accords reached through political compromises in order to promote a better future for the people of Burundi.
The African Union launches an urgent appeal to all the political actors and the parties signatory to the different Agreements reached to show restraint and a spirit of compromise with a view to preserving the gains made and to complete the process of restoring peace to their country.
The African Union, whose military observers are already in Burundi, will do its utmost to help resolve all difficulties encountered on the ground, including providing for the combatants of the armed groups.

In an interview at Gamescon with Videogamer.Com, Sony's UK VP Fergal Gara has commented on how he feels about PlayStation 3 sales in the UK.
"PS3 launched a long time after Xbox 360 and didn't do quite as well as it should have done," says Gara, "But from being so far behind on timing and on pricing it's delivered quite respectably despite all of that. "
He then goes on to state how he feels about the PlayStation 4's selling power.
"We're very conscious that it's a long game," he continues, "We're very satisfied that we're doing very, very well right now, but we're also not getting carried away with ourselves, not getting in any way over-excited. It is a several year project. It doesn't start and finish on November 29. That's an important date but it is the start date."
Sony is keeping itself organized with its favored lead over its competition, and, even with this brief success, consumers must certainly feel confident in Sony's product when the "long game" is still in perspective.
The PlayStation 4 launches in the UK November 29. How do you feel it will do in the UK, as well as other territories, sales wise ?

Steam is the place to sell finished games. Greenlight is the way to get existing games to Store. What they are missing is development phase sales.
Kickstarter and different other crowdsourcing systems have created (or changed) market opportunitities.
Steam has all the resources, customer base and everything they'd need to compete in this market area.
If Steam (and greenlight) would be place to:
- Fund the develop games (let's call it "Steam Seed")
- Find existing projects & games to get to Steam (Steam Greenlight)
- Then also release & sell games (Steam store)
I think there would be plenty of devs joining that bandwagon.
Not taking stance whether it's for the good or the bad, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this happening.

Mad about French Strawberry Cake
This cake came about only because I wanted to empty my fridge of the following: 1 1/2 pints of disappointingly-bland Californian strawberries, 1/2 bowl of milk chocolate cream waiting to be whipped and 1/3 cup of raspberries, which at S$8.95 a box, were too precious to let go to waste.
With these ingredients in mind, I flipped through my collection of cookbooks for some inspiration and came across a recipe for French Strawberry Cake in Dorie Greenspan's Baking with Julia. It sounded like a delightfully light cake, which was perfect after a weekend of sinfully rich chocolate desserts.
My only gripe with the recipe was that it called for a genoise sponge cake. I've always found genoise sponge cakes tricky to master. One turn too few of the spatula and the flour doesn't get worked in properly; one turn too many and the batter becomes too fluid and the cake won't rise. In my opinion, even macaron batter is a little more forgiving than genoise batter.
Despite my misgivings, I forged ahead with the Perfect Genoise recipe from the same book. The first attempt was a none-too-surprising failure; I'd overfolded the batter. I managed to salvage the top 1/3 of the cake, which was still surprisingly light and airy, and discarded the dense bottom 2/3 of the cake. The second cake, on the other hand, turned out perfect.
The result was a creamy yet light cake with 4 layers of genoise, 2 layers of cream and mashed strawberries (soaked overnight in sugar) and 1 thin layer of chocolate whipped cream. I even attempted piping with whipped cream - something I'd done only once before in my entire life.
Will I make this cake again? Most definitely, but perhaps I ought to get more practice with the genoise sponge first.

Intermec SD61 Wireless Base Station
The SD61 wireless base station provides a secure connection (ISCP protocol) between multiple Intermec industrial scanners, including the SF51 and SR61B, and the host device without the need to load any new software to the host system, saving time and resources.
The SD61 multiport base station allows up to seven Intermec Bluetooth scanners to operate in the same work area, connected wirelessly to the same mobile cart solution, PC or Intermec printer. By dramatically reducing the number of hosts, the SD 61 delivers a quick ROI and a less cluttered work environment.
As an Authorized Honeywell Reseller, we only advertise MSRP (List Price) on Intermec SD61 Wireless Base Station as part of their MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) policy. To get the actual price of an item, please call one of our product specialists at (714)922-1140.
Additional Intermec SD61 Wireless Base Station Product Information
Wireless scanners can be connected and disconnected by simply reading the association barcode on top of the SD61, empowering line managers and individual users to associate scanners to the system without having to gain access to the host computer, reducing calls to systems administrators and limiting non-essential access to the system. communication between the SD61 and associated scanners is bi-directional so it is fully secured, giving you the assurance that your data transfer is validated.
With support from a Bluetooth®™ Class 1 radio, the SD61 allows any associated user to work within a radius of up to 100m (328ft) from the base in open air. In case the user goes out of range from the base station, they will be informed by both visual (Intermec Ready-to-Work light) and audio messages provided by the SF51 or SR61 scanners, and will be automatically re-connected when they re-enter range.
To make its set up as easy as possible, the SD61 supports a wide range of host interfaces (wedge, RS 232, Wand emulation, USB), eliminating the need for adaptors or less durable dongles that may be better suited for non-industrial settings.
Each wireless scanner associated with the multiport SD61 will run independently with specific configurations, delivering maximum flexibility and reliability. The first-time configuration of the SD61 is made simple by reading configuration barcodes that accompany the base station or on-line through Intermecs EasySet configuration software, which provides extensive data editing tools.
Designed to withstand 26 drops to concrete, the SD61 is ideal for harsh environments including warehouse and industrial production sites, and is the ideal replacement for the Intermec MicroBar 9745.

Newt Gingrich Says Good-bye With Most Gingrich-y Speech Ever
A look back at his farewell speech, and his hilarious campaign.
Boy, that Newt Gingrich campaign was a weird, wonderful thing, wasn't it? After stumbling badly out of the gate last spring — please recall his participation in the most awkward handshake of all time — Gingrich hung around as a non-factor for months until a couple of snarky debate moments briefly turned him into the field's premier anti-Romney candidate, and the winner of the South Carolina primary. He then remained in the race long after his relevance had faded, if only to visit zoos around the country on the generosity of his delusional donors. Finally, today, Gingrich announced that he was calling it quits — but not before reminding the nation what it will be missing. In Arlington, Virginia, this afternoon, Gingrich delivered what GOP strategist Ed Rollins called afterward "one of the worst farewells I've ever seen." That is true. But it was also trademark Gingrich, as the following list of key quotes attests:
- "Callista and I have done seven documentaries."
- "Captain John Smith"
- "Electromagnetic pulse or nano-scale new technology"
- "It's actually less red tape to mine an asteroid than it is to get through the EPA in the United States."
- "I happen to think [math and science is] a better future than methamphetamine and cocaine."
- "This may be too big a challenge, even for someone who used to be Speaker of the House, but ... "
- "I'm asked sometimes, 'Is Mitt Romney conservative enough?' And my answer is simple. 'Compared to Barack Obama?' You know, this is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan."
- "I'm not totally certain I will get to the moon colony. I am certain [my grandchildren] Maggie and Robert will have that opportunity if they want to take it."
- "I think their generation will look back at the olden days, when people didn't have holograms at home ... and they will live in a very different world."
- "I'm confident about this future for Maggie and Robert, because I've written three novels about George Washington ... "
- "You know, the Kaiser was convinced ... "
Tremendous. A perfect mix of pomposity, pettiness, a preoccupation with space exploration, and random historical references.
As one final farewell, let us now relive the greatest moments from Gingrich's always entertaining campaign.

That price amounts to somewhere around $11, in case you were already reaching for your credit card. Now, that's the standard price--all Horseshoes are 50 percent off until 3 p.m. PST. Regardless, entire games are sold on the App Store for a tenth of that. The Galactic Stallion is one beautifully designed creature, with its body consisting of stars and surrounded in sparkles. (It's quite reminiscent of the Celestial Steed offered in World of Warcraft.) But it doesn't appear that the animal does anything special to warrant such a steep fee.
Not to mention that this impressive creature was designed by a Pioneer Trail community member. You would think that the winner would be interested in having his creation enjoyed by everyone--not only for those willing to pony up more than 10 bucks. Despite that, congratulations, Murdocc85. You've created one purrty in-game item.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a yeast infection caused by several types of Candida, typically Candida albicans. This disease is common in all women, but may occur more frequently and more severely in immunocompromised women.
Although refractory vaginal Candida infections by themselves should not be considered indicators of HIV infection, they may be the first clinical manifestation of HIV infection and can occur early in the course of disease (at CD4 counts of >500 cells/µL). The frequency of vaginal candidiasis tends to increase as CD4 counts decrease; however, this may be attributable in part to increased use of antibiotics among women with advanced HIV infection.
Risk factors for candidiasis include diabetes mellitus and the use of oral contraceptives, corticosteroids, or antibiotics.
S: Subjective
The patient may complain of itching, burning, or swelling of the labia and vulva; a thick white or yellowish vaginal discharge; painful intercourse; and pain and burning on urination.
The most important elements in the history include the following:
- Type and duration of symptoms
- Previous vaginal yeast infection
- Oral contraceptive use
- Recent or ongoing broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy
- Recent corticosteroid therapy
- Sexual exposures (to evaluate for sexually transmitted diseases)
- Diabetes history
- Cushing syndrome
- Obesity
- Hypothyroidism
- Pregnancy
- Use of douches, vaginal deodorants, or bath additives
O: Objective
Perform a focused physical examination of the external genitalia, vagina, and cervix. This may reveal inflammation of the vulva with evidence of discharge on the labial folds and vaginal opening. Speculum examination usually reveals a thick, white discharge with plaques adhering to the vaginal walls and cervix. Bimanual examination should not elicit pain or tenderness and otherwise should be normal.
A: Assessment
Rule out other causes of vaginal discharge and pruritus:
- Bacterial vaginosis
- Atrophic vaginitis
- Chemical or mechanical causes
- Trichomoniasis
- Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other sexually transmitted diseases
- Scabies
- Pediculosis
P: Plan
Diagnostic Evaluation
A presumptive diagnosis is made on the basis of the clinical presentation and potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation:
- Perform microscopic examination of a KOH preparation of vaginal secretions. This usually reveals pseudohyphae and Candida spores (presumptive diagnosis).
- Definitive diagnosis rarely is needed, but may be made by analysis of a culture of vaginal secretions; this may be useful if azole-resistant or non-albicans species are suspected.
- In the presence of urinary tract symptoms (beyond external vulvar burning), perform urinalysis, culture, or both on a clean-catch urine specimen.
- Consider testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia in patients with a history of possible sexual exposure.
Uncomplicated infections
Topical medications
- Prescribe topical vaginal antifungal agents in the form of cream or suppositories, including the following: butoconazole, clotrimazole, miconazole, nystatin, terconazole, and tioconazole. Treat for 3-7 days and offer refills depending on the time to the next scheduled clinic visit. The creams also may be used on the vulva for treatment of pruritus.
Note that the mineral-oil base in topical vaginal antifungal preparations may erode the latex in condoms, diaphragms, and dental dams. Advise the patient to use alternative methods to prevent HIV transmission or conception, or to discontinue intercourse while using these medications. Nonlatex condoms (plastic and polyethylene only) or "female" condoms (polyurethane) can be used.
Oral medications
- Fluconazole 150 mg PO, single dose (see "Treatment notes," below)
- Itraconazole oral solution 200 mg PO QD for 3-7 days (see "Treatment notes," below)
Complicated infections
Severe or recurrent candidiasis
Severe or recurrent candidiasis is defined as four or more episodes within 1 year. Consider the following treatments:
- Fluconazole 100-200 mg PO QD for ≥7 days (see Treatment notes," below)
- Topical therapy as described above, for ≥7 days
For severe cases that recur repeatedly, secondary prophylaxis can be considered (e.g., fluconazole 150 mg PO once weekly).
Treatment notes
- Systemic azole drugs should not be used during pregnancy, and women taking azoles should use effective contraception. Topical azoles are recommended for the treatment of pregnant women.
- Resistance to azole medications may develop, especially with prolonged use of oral agents.
- Avoid ketoconazole: Case reports have associated ketoconazole with a risk of fulminant hepatitis (1 in 12,000 courses of treatment with oral ketoconazole). Experts agree that the risks may outweigh the benefits for women with vulvovaginal candidiasis. Ketoconazole interacts with many other drugs, including some antiretroviral drugs.
Potential ARV Interactions
There may be significant drug-drug interactions between certain systemic antifungals (particularly itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole) and ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors (PIs), nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), elvitegravir/cobicistat, or maraviroc. Some combinations are contraindicated and others require dosage adjustment of the ARV, the antifungal, or both. Check for adverse drug interactions before prescribing. For example, voriconazole use is not recommended for patients taking ritonavir-boosted PIs, and dosage adjustment of both voriconazole and NNRTIs may be required when voriconazole is used concurrently with NNRTIs. See relevant tables in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents, or consult with an expert.
Patient Education
- Advise patients to wash external genitals daily with a fresh washcloth or water-soaked cotton balls and to wipe the vulva and perirectal area from front to back after toileting. Women should not use baby wipes on inflamed vulval tissue because they may increase irritation.
- Women should avoid the use of perfumed soaps, bubble baths, feminine hygiene or vaginal deodorant products, and bath powders.
- Advise women not to douche.
- Women should wear cotton underwear and avoid tight, constrictive clothing, particularly pantyhose.
- If patients are prescribed medication for vaginal candidiasis, they should take the medication exactly as prescribed and finish the medicine even during a menstrual period.
- Women who continue to have symptoms can purchase miconazole (e.g., Monistat) or clotrimazole (e.g., Gyne-Lotrimin) vaginal cream over the counter. Advise patients to start using these as soon as symptoms return and to contact the clinic if symptoms worsen while they are taking these medicines.
- Women taking oral fluconazole, ketoconazole, or other azoles must avoid pregnancy. Some birth defects have been reported.
- The mineral-oil base in topical vaginal antifungal preparations may erode the latex in condoms, diaphragms, and dental dams. Advise patients to use alternative methods to prevent HIV transmission or conception or to discontinue intercourse while using these medications. Nonlatex condoms (plastic and polyethylene only) or "female" condoms (polyurethane) can be used.
- Sex toys, douche nozzles, diaphragms, cervical caps, and other items can reinfect patients if not properly cleaned and thoroughly dried after use.
- Some studies have suggested that eating yogurt with live cultures (check labels) can reduce the occurrence of vaginal yeast infections.

Fair Attendees Learn About Beef At Cooking School
(Le Mars) -- One of the events that gathered a lot of attendance is the Cooking School Demonstration held Friday evening. More than 400 people learned some tips about beef and how best to prepare beef from Nancy Degner, the executive director of the Iowa Beef Industry Council. Degner, a one-time home economics teacher at Le Mars, referred to a booklet published by the Beef Checkoff that informed the group of the basics of beef.
Listen to
Degner introduced to the crowd how best to look for the qualities to select a tender steak as well as new cuts of beef now being featured in grocery stores, supermarkets, and restaurants.
Listen to
In this hurried up time conscientious world, many people may believe it takes too much time to cook up a steak, but the Iowa Beef official says beef can be prepared properly in just a few minutes.
Listen to
Degner says the crowd was enthusiastic and perhaps now know how best to carve steak.
Listen to
The attendees were able to take home new recipes, brochures, and even food coupons.
Levin Sentenced To Life In Prison For Killing Mother
EARLY, Iowa (AP) - A northwest Iowa man convicted of killing his mother and kidnapping another woman has been sentenced to life in prison.
A jury found 21-year-old Kirk Levin guilty in June of first-degree murder in the January death of 45-year-old Marilynn Schmitt and third-degree kidnapping in the abduction of a woman he
met online.
On Friday, Judge Timothy J. Finn gave Levin a life sentence.
Finn also rejected Levin's request for a new trial.
Levin's trial was moved to Webster County because of heavy publicity. His attorney argued a second change of venue request should have been granted. The attorney also says Levin's statements
to police after his arrest should have been inadmissible evidence at trial.
Farmers Worried About Potential Drought
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Many Midwest farmers are beginning to worry that last year's drought could return.
The concern is inching closer to reality for a large part of the corn growing region as many states have experienced only spotty rain, with some areas far too dry.
The National Drought Monitor released Thursday says abnormally dry conditions have spread eastward farther into southern Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Portions of
Nebraska including the southeast that had May rain are now drying out again.
Rain also seems to have missed southeastern Indiana, which is now listed as abnormally dry after the state had been lifted out of drought.
Corn is in the pollination stage, which determines how much grain it will produce, and needs moisture now to fully develop.
Harkin and Durbin To Host Immigration Forum In 4th Congressional District
WASHINGTON (AP) - Two Democratic senators say they'll hold a forum on immigration in the home district of Iowa Republican congressman Steve King to pressure him in the wake of incendiary
comments he made on immigrant youths.
Senators Tom Harkin of Iowa and Dick Durbin of Illinois say the event set for August 2nd in Ames will feature Iowan immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as kids.
King has come under attack for asserting that many such youths are actually drug mules.
The event will come as Congress breaks for a five-week summer recess expected to feature events around the country aimed at pressuring House Republicans to act on immigration.
Hedlund May Challenge Investigator's Review
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A fired Iowa investigator may go to court to block Governor Terry Branstad's administration from disclosing a 500-page disciplinary report to an outside investigator appointed
to review the firing.
Tom Duff, an attorney for Larry Hedlund, said Friday the report by the Department of Public Safety's Professional Standards Bureau is "a ginned up, manufactured, one-sided" document that contains defamatory information.
He says he doesn't believe the state can legally share the report with former Iowa Supreme Court justice Louis Lavorato, who was appointed to review Hedlund's firing Friday. Duff may file for a court injunction next week.
Branstad says Lavorato will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement to review the report, but Duff says that might not be legal.
Iowa law prohibits the unauthorized release of confidential personnel information.
Branstad's Trooper Driver Given Speeding Ticket
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Three months after a high-speed pursuit, a trooper who was driving Governor Terry Branstad has been ticketed for driving 84 in a 65-mile per hour zone.
The Hamilton County Clerk of Court said that trooper Steve Lawrence cited Friday and paid a fine of $181.50. The ticket was written by an Iowa State Patrol major.
Lawrence was driving Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds on Highway 20 on April 26th when he was clocked by a deputy traveling 84 miles per hour.
Another trooper, Matt Eimers, eventually caught up to the vehicle but didn't stop it after seeing it was Lawrence driving the governor's official vehicle.
The Department of Public Safety completed its review Friday. It says "appropriate discipline" has been taken against Lawrence but Eimers wasn't sanctioned because he complied with department
Branstad's Father Passes Away
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Governor Terry Branstad's father has died after a long illness.
The governor's press office announced Friday that Edward Branstad died during the morning in Mason City. The news release did not provide a cause of death, but said he was 89 years old and
suffered from cancer. Edward Branstad had brain surgery last September to remove a tumor.
In a statement, the governor said his father taught him "the value of hard work," and said he is "now at peace."
The funeral will be held Monday at Waldorf College in Forest City.

you know, logger boots like these:
What's the deal with the tall heel and the little kiltie? [the little leather fringe at the bottom of the laces]
So those have no practical benefits whatsoever?
I'm sure they have some sort of function, but what?
Those are logger boots. That is what they are called. Westerners may wear them as work boots, but they really are logger boots.Originally Posted by Siu Blue Wind
This is exactly what I am looking for!Originally Posted by Siu Blue Wind
But the thing is there is no single designer. Scores of boot companies make boots in this style. It is not just a special thing for one manufacturer.Originally Posted by Stacey
A heel like that has several uses. If it were a riding boot it is to make sure the foot will not slide forward in the stiffup. Those are walking/work boots, but the advantage of a fairly high heel is similar. Think of going down a muddy hill. That heel is high enough to dig in and hold. A shorter heel will allow the area in front of the heel to easily fill with mud and then when you try to dig in all that happens is your feet go out from under you.
These are obviously for people with really thin legs, and gigantic feet.Originally Posted by Fisty 'O Toole

Those voices in your head aren't real, but they have some great ideas
Those boots are most likely "Whites", they are pretty much the standard boot maker for wildland fire fighters. You can get them in heights starting at 10" up to 18" (I may be wrong on the heights) and they can make custom insoles for them as well. Once broken in, they are pretty hard to beat. The tall heel is good for digging in on steep terrain when going down hill, digging line, or sawing. Contrary to what Shifty says, they will indeed last long in Oregon if properly taken care of. Take a look at what any Hotshot, Heli-rappel, or Smoke jumper crew are wearing sometime and they are pretty tough on footwear.
Agree, pretty wet and harsh here, you need to maintain them.Originally Posted by watchman

My guess is the kiltie is just a fashionable way of extending the tongue leather over the frontof the shoe...reaso n is probably the way it's stitched is so water won't accumulate in the area around the tongue.
This design is pretty common in extreme weather boots. I used to have a pair of boots that had this design but wasn't flashy enough to use anything but a solid piece of leather...which looked horrid.

Ring Ring, Ring Ring, the bell went Ring Ring Ring.
I bought a pair of real loggers boots nearly 40 years ago.
This was in Maine. No skirt, the sole was really thick vibram, like a
heavy duty truck tire. But the heel wasn't raised much at all.
I wore that boot for almost a decade. After walking a couple thousand miles on it I decided it was invulnerable and would jump in water or anything I felt like doing.
Great boots.
Well, I don't know necessarily why they're designed that way, but I like the high tops on my work boots because they tuck under my jeans so stuff doesn't get into the boots. Regarding the heel, though, I'd much rather have a more flexible sole. With a huge sole, you can't tell what the ground is doing under your feet and steep hills become awkward because your ankle is always at a painful angle.
My soccer cleats have a long toungue that folds over the laces to keep the knot from screwing up my kick. I'm not sure it works, though, because I still miss a lot.

I don't believe that the "Kilte" serves a purpose. I do have a pair of golf shoes with a "Kilte" I have always thought they just looked funny. As far as my boots, I wear a pair of Red Wings cowboy boots every day of the year, unless I'm running or riding. Can't see much of a point for any boots you have to take 5 minutes to tie.
Bring back the Sig Test!
OK, I consulted Ericbear, a boot expert. He not only explained the function of the kiltie (it does have a function!) but he included a picture, which as they say (whoever they are) is worth a thousand words. The laces can cut the leather and they are particularly abravsive when they pick up gritty dampness. You can replace the kiltie (or false tongue) rather than having the gusseted tongue repaired. Ericbear also says that on golf shoes they are strictly ornamental.

Like a circus monkey on a stolen Harley......
i was a logger for a while. We wear them because they work. Mine were made by Redwing and did not have the tassles. I got them when I started working heavy equipment and alot of guys used them. Steel toes, full steel shank, great grip. These were tough. Got them when I was eighteen, resoled three times over fifteen years. Retired them when my feet got to big and gave them to my brother two years ago.
my replacements were the updated model. They are the only boots approved for progress energy feild workers. All the benefits of the old ones with better insulation and protection.

No, the children of a decedent are not liable for the charge account debts of their parents.
The creditor would have to file a claim against the estate of the deceased.
there is no estate
No bank account no property
The creditor can still only file against the estate, even if there are no assets. They cannot file against the children although occasionally you will hear of a creditor telling someone this.

You might recall that we scoured preseason baseball predictions from 2011 and couldn't find a single expert who looked into the crystal ball and saw the Diamondbacks winning the NL West title.
But that was nothing compared with the unpredictable stuff happening this season.
Quick show of hands: Who had Cody Ransom of the Diamondbacks with four home runs in his first 37 at bats and Albert Pujols with one in his first 117?
Anybody? Anybody at all?
It's crazy, huh? Up is down and down is up throughout baseball this season, especially the standings.
OK it's really early, but if things continue along this path we're going to have to ask that the experts turn in their copies of "The Baseball Abstract."
For instance:
The Orioles were tied for first in the AL East going into Tuesday's games.
At Baseball Prospectus, 27 experts weighed in with their divisional, league and World Series picks.
Every single one of them picked Buck Showalter's Orioles to finish last in the AL East. Nobody on ESPN's panel of 49 experts gave the Orioles a chance to win the division or earn a wild card.
The consensus of the ESPN experts called for an Angels-Diamondbacks World Series.
There were 32 ESPN experts who picked the Diamondbacks to win the NL West, 10 more naming them as a wild-card team and 15 picking the Diamondbacks to win the NL pennant.
Entering Tuesday's game, the Diamondbacks were third in the NL West and two games below .500.
The Angels got the nod from 25 ESPN experts to win the AL West with 20 more naming them as a wild-card club.
And the Angels were picked to win the World Series by 18 of the experts. Entering Tuesday's games, the Angels were in last place in the AL West.
The Phillies were another sexy pick, but enough experts saw something in the Nationals to make them a consensus wild card.
At ESPN, 27 picked the Phillies to win the NL East, 16 others had them as a wild card and 14 had them in the World Series. The Baseball Prospectus panel had the Phillies, presently last, as the consensus pick in the NL East.
Only five ESPN experts had the Cardinals, without Pujols, repeating as NL pennant winners and two picked them to repeat as World Series champs. Of the 49, 20 picked them to win the NL Central (they're in first) and 18 liked the Reds.
Baseball's last-place teams include Boston, a playoff team in the minds of 16 ESPN analysts, and the Brewers, who were a consensus second-place team in the NL Central by BP and either a division winner or wild card in the eyes of 17 ESPN experts.
A few experts saw the first-place Dodgers coming, but they still were a consensus fourth-place team in the NL West among the BP analysts and got one vote to win the division and four as a wild card from the ESPN panel.
Not one ESPN panelist picked the Indians to win the AL Central and not one of them picked the Indians to win a wild-card spot. Of the 27 BP experts, 26 have the Tigers, who trail the first-place Indians, winning the division.
(Heat Index disclaimers: Yes, we picked Arizona to win the NL West, as did all of our resident experts except that notorious naysayer Paola Boivin. We also had the Phillies beating the Angels in the World Series. If those teams turn it around, we will happily remind you of this. Otherwise, we're denying everything.)

Last time, I was unable to achieve extremely high overclocks for proper reviewing since the motherboard limited my ceiling. The Abit AA8 Duramax that features Intel's 925X chipset was unable to go past the 265FSB wall. This time I've acquired the Fatal1ty AA8XE, which uses the 925XE chipset that allows increased headroom. The motherboard offers extremely rich voltage features, especially for memory. Unlike motherboards that only offer up to 2.2v or even 2.3v, the Fatal1ty offers a stunning 2.5v to memory. If you're not very familiar with how much voltage this actually is, it's like providing a DDR platform up to 3.2v from the standard 2.5v. One of DDR2's main goals is to reduce power consumption and release lower heat, but there's nothing wrong with pumping voltage to get the squeeze the most performance out of your modules.
Unfortunately, the CPU used for testing is all I have. A multiplier of 14x is what most end users are accessible to, unless they go out and waste their money on the $1000 3.4GHZ Extreme Editions. The Extreme Editions allow low multipliers of 12x and 10x, and with certain motherboards even 8x. Of course using the Extreme Editions would be the ideal for testing high memory frequencies, but sadly, I have bills to pay. The highest memory voltage is set at 2.2v since that is the typical range of what quality motherboards provide.
Testing Procedures
Testing includes a series of memory intensive benchmarks such as 3DMark2001SE, PCMark2002 Memory Tests, PCMark2004 Memory Tests, SiSoft Sandra Memory Bandwidth, and two games-Far Cry and Unreal Tournament 2004.

On Friday, I worked from 9 am to 10:30 pm.
On Saturday, I worked from 10:30 am to 12:30 am.
Working 39ish hours over those 3 days makes that the most I have ever worked in my adult career. Part of me is proud of it, like it's a rite of passage. I've probably mentioned this before, but I normally work great hours, solidly 9 to 5 or 6 WITH a 1-hour lunch. In fact, my hours are known among my friends for being cushy. And the times I do have to work late (i.e., quarter-end, month-end, or P&I day), I always know what days those will be, and I rarely stay later than 8:30. I had never worked a weekend before. The other part of me is like, never do this again!
Working in the office on a Saturday until almost 1 am? That one was a doozy, right there. The crazy thing is that I didn't actually mind it in the moment. I mean, sure, it sucked big time working on the nicest day of the year. It sucked big time being in the office when Spencer was actually around (something that hasn't happened too much lately). But! I was so freakin' busy that the time just flew. Those 14 hours honestly felt more like 4. The most shocking part of it all, and what definitely made the weekend not as terrible as it could have been, is that all of us stuck in the office all those hours were cordial, helpful, and kind throughout the entire thing. Who on earth is gracious and polite at midnight?! I truly have the best coworkers.
A bizarre side-effect of working until 12:30 was that I couldn't fall asleep until 3 am. Yes, I was zonked, but because my mind had been in overdrive for so long, I couldn't shut it off. My coworkers had the same problem. Guess I had no choice but to watch some Vampire Diaries. :)
Sunday, thank goodness, was another beautiful day, and I didn't have to go to the office. I did oversleep church, waking up at 10:30, thinking it started at 11. In fact, we were meeting at 10, an hour earlier than normal. In my defense, we do usually meet at 11, and please, you think my brain was functioning? Spencer was also extremely exhausted from a very crazy work week and requires that I wake him on Sunday basically every week. So after sleeping in, we went to Woodlawn Cemetery (the most beautiful cemetery I've ever seen), walked around Saxon Woods, and spent time with my in-laws. I was surprisingly cheerful and functional. I was cuddly and chipper! Spencer didn't know what to make of it.
Then, Monday morning came about. You better believe I've been a zombie alllllll day. Doesn't help that we are doing a quarter-end on top of what went down this weekend, meaning lots o' work and staying to the "late" hour of 8 pm. I'm pooped.
And with all this going on, the one thought that comes to my mind over and over again is "How on earth does Spencer do it?!??!!" He works these hours and even worse! Regularly! My brain is so fuzzy - how does he ever concentrate? I'll happily not make quite (ok, not nearly) as much and work my sweet, sweet 40 hours a week.
Spencer, upon hearing this, nodded his head and said "mmm-hmmm!". As he deserves to.
|I too want a mausoleum and gorgeous road sign for my resting place.
|Waaaaaay back in the day, Spencer made oodles of birdhouses for Saxon Woods as his Eagle Scout project. And guess what? They are still there! Cutie.
I'm also over here! Twitter/Instagram/Bloglovin'/Pinterest/Goodreads

BOSTON Thursday's July Fourth concert on the Esplanade is the 40th in the long series at the Hatch Shell. Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart joined Morning Edition to talk about what to expect at this year's Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular.
Bob Oakes: This year's concert has, of course, added significance coming just a couple months after the Boston Marathon attack. What's planned to acknowledge that?
"We're going to feature on the stage with us the young MBTA officer who almost died in the pursuit of the alleged bombers."
Keith Lockhart: We couldn't ignore the events that had taken place at the last big public gathering in Boston. On the other hand, at least me personally, I'm a firm believer in needing to move forward from things like that as well.
What we've decided to do during the Boston Pops portion of the concert is to pay tribute to the first responders and the emergency medical personnel, the people who made what was a terrible situation much, much better than it possibly could have been. We're going to feature on the stage with us the young MBTA officer who almost died in the pursuit of the alleged bombers. He's going to come out and be our celebrity guest conductor during the concert, which I'm sure is going to get a great reaction from the crowd.
Because, after all, while we are in the weeks after the marathon bombing, today and tonight is all about celebration.
It is all about celebration. I've done 19 of these Fourth of July concerts in Boston. Each one of them has been a little bit different and each one of them in some way has reflected the mood of the country. It's always a celebration but sometimes it's tempered by other things that are going on.
Tell us about the musical selections tonight.
"We've decided to focus this whole concert inward on Boston."
We've decided to focus this whole concert inward on Boston, to make this kind of a Boston Strong concert and to celebrate the local roots of this event. We're featuring four performers kind of equally billed, all of whom call Boston home or receive their training, their inspiration here. They include the Grammy Award-winning blues artist Susan Tedeschi. Also the up and coming country star Ayla Brown, known to many as the daughter of [former] Sen. Scott Brown but also making quite a mark for herself in Nashville. Ellis Hall, wonderful Motwon singer who was the anointed successor to Ray Charles. As well, of course, the Boston Pops orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus just really lighting up the night.
And, of course, the 1812 at the appropriate time?
Of course, the 1812 — we wouldn't miss it for the world. That with cannons and fireworks, also "The Stars And Stripes Forever" and some great patriotic music.
In light of all that's happened recently, what are you anticipating from the crowd tonight? I'll be it'll be a big and very enthusiastic crowd.
I am anticipating exactly the same. I think a concert like this, a public gathering like this sends a message that people won't be intimidated and that people will gather together peacefully as they always have in this situation, enjoy the rights and the freedoms that they have as Americans and celebrate even more loudly than before.
What's your favorite part of the night?
My favorite part of the night, frankly, is when we've just done "Stars And Stripes Forever" and I can relax and take in the fireworks and not have to worry about going back on stage to do another piece because there's a lot of pressure involved in doing a concert like this for a half million people, and it's nice when it's over.
Coming in on the Pike this morning, because I have a commute from the west, I saw cars this morning that I don't usually see coming in on the Fourth of July from all over the eastern part of the U.S. early, early this morning — very unusual. So it'll be a great time tonight.
That's great. We can't wait.

If you're after a quick response to recent events, particularly in the case of a cataclysmic disaster, cinema is not your medium. It takes years to write and develop even a bad script, let alone the financing, casting, shooting and pre-production of a film. And that's even without taking into account a reticence to address what has the potential to be traumatic material; there's a reason that it took half-a-decade for the events of 9/11 to reach the screen, and even then many believed that it was too soon for what some dismiss as mere entertainment to address such epoch-changing events.
Such an event was the March 11th earthquake in Japan, which caused a tsunami, which itself caused a radioactive meltdown at the Fukushima power plant. At least 15,000 lives were taken, and 125,000 buildings were destroyed and damaged, and the effects will be felt in the country for generations to come. With six months not yet having passed since the event, you'd be pretty stunned to see a film referring in detail to the event, but Sono Sion's "Himizu" doesn't just refer to it, it even shoots scenes among the devastation left in the tsunami's wake.
Of course, for such a speedy response, Sono (the Japanese auteur whose "Love Exposure" recently reached U.S. shores, which we're pretty fond of) didn't just pull the film out of thin air; he was already prepping "Himizu", an adaptation of Minoru Furuya's 2001 manga of the same name, and, like Spike Lee did a decade ago with 9/11 and "25th Hour," incorporated recent events into the movie on the fly. The plot involves Sumida (Shota Sometani), a schoolboy with a violent father and a neglectful mother, who wants simply to live an ordinary life and run his family's boat hire shop. Tsunami refugees like former company president Yoruno (Tetsu Watanabe) have set up camp near the stall, forming a kind of surrogate family, while he has an admirer, schoolmate Keiko (Fumi Nikaidou), who will do almost anything for him. But Sumida seemingly can't escape violence -- from his father, from the yakuzas that his dad owes money too, from strangers -- and, after he's abandoned by his mother, Sumida's wish to be ordinary is soon countered by an obsession to wreak vengeance on the criminals and low-lifes around him.
We're not going to beat around the bush here. We hated the experience of watching the vast majority of "Himizu." Hated it. If we weren't reviewing it, we might have walked out (as plenty did). Much of the film is played at a ludicrously high pitch, with most of the dialogue shouted or screeched, the first half of the film consists principally of the main characters receiving a series of beatings (and never fighting back), set against near-unrelenting rain, the tone wavers in a second from grim desperation to slapstick comedy, and the music mostly consists of classical pieces of crashing obviousness -- Barber's "Adagio For Strings" features prominently more than once (although, in fairness, it may have been a temp score, given Sono's turnover on the project).
And yet... And yet as soon as the film was over, we found ourselves warming to it -- perhaps initially because the experience of watching it was so unpleasant, but warming nonetheless. And it lingered in our minds, even with other films screened in the intervening time. Now, twenty four hours later, we're still not doing cartwheels over it, but we're also happy to acknowledge that it's an important, and fitfully great, picture.
As anyone who's seen his previous work will attest to, there's no way to deny that Sono is a huge talent, and there are individual shots of great beauty and power. The opening scenes, showing the post-tsunami devastation, are jaw-dropping, and there's a stunning murder sequence, shot with a crane that rises, and dips, and rises again, that would have made Hitchcock proud. The sound mix is extraordinary, even if we still have qualms about the music, with fireworks and rushing water and geiger counter noise all dropped in in places.
Thematically, while it's tricky for an outsider to penetrate in places -- it's a real state-of-the-nation kind of film -- Sono brushes against some fascinating territory such as the tsunami refugees, well-to-do middle class businessmen and professors reduced to robbing drug dealers. The spate of stabbings that Sumida sets out to stop, all the time threatening to tip over and perpetrate one -- based on recent spates of similar cases -- is something that the director clearly believes speaks to a deeper malaise in Japanese society. And then there are the deeply horrible, almost Roald Dahl-esque parents. Both Sumida and Keiko's parents tell their 14-year-old offspring that they wish they'd never been born, Sumida's dad continually lamenting that his son survived a near-drowning, robbing him of the insurance money, while Keiko's mother and father are actively planning for her death.
And it all climaxes in a truly beautiful ending, the frantic white noise of the first part of the film finally taking a break for a quiet, deeply sad lament to the loss of innocence, climaxing in something strangely joyful. We'd politely suggest that Sono didn't necessarily need to play the film at such a long, abrasive note to reach the same conclusion. But maybe we're wrong. We do however think that, by the nature of its production -- it's really two films jammed into one, the manga adaptation that Sono originally set out to make, and the picture of Japan post-earthquake -- "Himizu" only occasionally gels together, but more often it finds two parts sitting awkwardly next to each other. But all in all, it stands as a testament to the benefits of eating your cinematic vegetables. We might have shifted restlessly in our seats, eying the fire exits, for much of "Himizu"'s running time, but that doesn't mean that we regret seeing it. We might even see it again. [B]

Busty Fat Babes
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
If you were interested in seeing some rotund women in a state of undress, you could hide out in your local gym's locker room and wait for some to disrobe. You probably shouldn't do that, though, because something like that would be full of risks. If you were to be discovered, someone might call the police or you might even get knocked the fuck out by some portly broad with a great left hook. You likely don't want to have to deal with either scenario, so you're probably better off visiting a website like Busty Fat Babes if you really need to see some naked, fat chicks.
BustyFatBabes has never been very good with updating. At the moment, there are 25 videos and 84 photo galleries, which is a little less content than there was when we last visited the website. The date stamps seem to indicate that the site is updating, but at least a couple of the movies and photo sets have clearly been restamped, so it would seem the content is simply being rotated.
Having looked at the vids and pics that are currently available, I can tell you that the stuff looks awesome. The movies can be streamed and downloaded as clips and they can also be saved as full-length Windows Media files. The best thing about these movies (besides the big beautiful babes who are featured in them) is the fact that they're available in high-def.
The photos look good too, but the quality of the images varies. Some of the shots are high-res, while others only have less impressive resolutions. Each gallery can be downloaded in a Zip file. The content is softcore, solo material. You won't see any cocks or even any gal-on-gal action, but you will see many voluptuous, black babes who pose and pleasure themselves for your enjoyment.
In terms of extras, you get access to a model index, a blog and a couple of bonus sites. Unlike the ladies that you'll see in the pics and vids, the contents of the blog is pretty slim. Big Butt Shakers and Boobs By Nature are the two bonus sites and they're both pretty similar. The main difference between them is the butt and boob focus.
Busty Fat Babes is worth looking into for its high-quality content and gorgeous, large ladies. Given the site's track record when it comes to updating, though, you probably shouldn't join expecting the collection to grow.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

'Horror Photographer' Recreates Childhood Nightmares, Starring His Own Daughters (PHOTOS)
That thing under your bed, that monster in your closet, that creature that lives in the basement. These are all typical childhood fears of the unknown, the darkness, and those spaces you dare not explore. Monsters, Inc. took those fears and gave them playful and even lovable faces, but self-proclaimed "horror photographer" Joshua Hoffine went the other way.
All four of Joshua's daughters have been featured in his art, along with a few nieces and nephews. While he claims that none of them have complained of nightmares from the sets, we still wonder if they're any more inclined to hold off the nighttime potty break until morning.
Joshua likes to stretch his imagination and use everything from human-looking ghouls to alien creatures to animals as the subjects of his shots. His girls are either cornered by a beastie or completely unaware of its lurking presence, and we can't decide which is more terrifying!
While we're not art critics by any means, we are drawn to Joshua's work, and the fact that he's enjoying some quality time with his daughters while he's creating these beautifully terrifying worlds is great.
Now you tell us: What do you think about the photos? Tell us below in the comments!
