Kitty Hawk Pharmacies
Kitty Hawk city is located in Dare County, North Carolina State, US.
In the coming decades, Kitty Hawk pharmacists are expected to become more integral within the health care system. Rather than simply dispensing medication, pharmacists are increasingly expected to be compensated for their patient care skills. In particular, North Carolina Medication Therapy Management (MTM) includes the clinical services that pharmacists can provide for their patients. Such services include the thorough analysis of all medication (prescription, non-prescription, and herbals) currently being taken by an individual. The result is a reconciliation of medication and patient education resulting in increased patient health outcomes and decreased costs to the health care system.

The debut of portraits honoring four of Hope College's first international and minority graduates will be celebrated with two events on Saturday, Feb. 2.
The first of the activities will be the seminar "Celebrating Hope College's Early Graduates," being presented at 9:30 a.m. at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center as part of the college's annual Winter Happening. The second, a reception at 2 p.m. at the second-floor rotunda of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication, will feature the portraits in their permanent campus home.
The public is invited to both the seminar and the reception. Admission is free, although advance registration is recommended for the seminar.
The portraits show Motoichiro Oghimi and Kumaji Kimura of Japan, who as members of the Class of 1879 were Hope's first international-student graduates; the Rev. James Collins Ottipoby, a member of the Class of 1925 who was Hope's first Native American graduate; and James Carter Dooley Jr., a member of the Class of 1932 who was Hope's first African-American graduate. The paintings are the work of artist Paul Collins of Grand Rapids.
According to Alfredo Gonzales, who is associate provost and dean for international and multicultural education at Hope, the college commissioned the paintings both to celebrate the distinguished careers the four men led and to highlight the college's long-standing commitment to inclusion and global engagement.
"Hope College was doing diversity and inclusion work in the third part of the 19th century, when people had no idea what the concepts even were," he said.
"I also hope that the contributions of our early graduates will inspire our students to imagine the ways in which they, too, can serve the world," Gonzales said.
Gonzales marvels at the spirit in which the first two, Oghimi and Kimura, were brought to Hope by the college's first president, Philip Phelps, in 1871. Phelps met the two young men, who had made separate voyages to the U.S. and found themselves in New York without funds, plans or even fluency in English, during a fundraising tour of the East Coast.
"It's amazing to realize how President Phelps invited these two students from Japan to join him at Hope College. And for the next six years these students lived with the Phelps family and through them learned about American education, culture and faith. There were no judgments made by Phelps, in terms of language, in terms of ethnicity, in terms of faith," he said. "And the second part of the story is that these students went on to do great things."
"What President Phelps did is precisely at the very core of who we are as an institution," Gonzales said.
Motoichiro Oghimi and Kumaji Kimura returned to Japan and spread the ideas of Christianity in higher education and through support programs for women, with both serving as pastors and school administrators. Kimura also established schools in both Komoro City and Tokyo, including co-founding Meiji Women's School with his wife and brother-in-law. Oghimi, who also authored the first Greek-Japanese lexicon, held teaching appointments including Japan Christian Seminary, which later became part of Meiji Gakuin University, and in 1886 was appointed to the university's first board of trustees.
Ottipoby, a Comanche born in Lawton, Okla., graduated from Western Theological Seminary after completing his degree at Hope. He became a pastor in the Reformed Church in America, which is the college's parent denomination, and during World War II was the first Native American chaplain to serve in the U.S. Army.
Dooley was a teacher and assistant principal in public schools in Louisiana and Alabama, as well as an assistant pastor and missionary with the 8th District Baptist Association. He inherited his passion for education from his father, James Dooley Sr., who in 1911 had founded the Southern Normal Industrial Institute in Brewton, Ala., for African-American children—who had no other educational options. The Reformed Church in America supported Southern Normal as a domestic mission for several decades.
The 9:30 a.m. seminar will share more about each of the four graduates. Gonzales will co-lead the session with Fumihito Andy Nakajima, who is an associate professor of Japanese; and John Yelding, who is an associate professor of education.
In addition to the events on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., activities scheduled in conjunction with the debut of the portraits include a dinner for members of the families of the four graduates and others familiar with them and their work.
Artist Paul Collins's work in West Michigan includes the mural of the life of President Gerald Ford at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. He has had work displayed worldwide in venues such as the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and the Studio Museum of Harlem in New York. He is also the designer of the Martin Luther King Peace Prize Medal, the National Physical Fitness Poster for the Carter administration and the NASA space shuttle emblem.
The college's Winter Happening event will feature a total of six seminars on a variety of topics in two blocks in the morning: three at 9:30 a.m. and three at 11 a.m. In addition to "Celebrating Hope College's Early Graduates," the 9:30 a.m. seminars include "Making Youth Sports Safer for the Mind, Body, and Spirit," and "Preparation, Hard Work, and Luck: A Guide to the Development of a New Chemical Reaction. The 11 a.m. seminars are "A Good Fight: Loyalty and Conflict in the RCA," "Electrical Stimulation and a Treatment Option for Phantom Limb Pain," and "Making Democracy: Lessons from 19th Century London." Advance registration is not required, but is recommended, and helpful for planning based on anticipated attendance. Reservations may be made and additional information obtained by calling the college's office of public and community relations at (616) 395-7860 or online at hope.edu/pr/13WinterHappening.html
The Haworth Inn and Conference Center is located at 225 College Ave., between Ninth and 10th streets. The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication is located at 257 Columbia Ave., at the corner of Columbia Avenue and 10th Street.

The name aquamarine is derived from the Latin word aqua, meaning water, and marina, meaning the sea. This gemstone was believed to protect sailors, as well as to guarantee a safe voyage. The serene color of aquamarine is said to cool the temper, allowing the wearer to remain calm and levelheaded. Its pale, cool color beautifully complements spring and summer wardrobes. Aquamarine is most often light in tone and ranges from greenish blue to blue-green; the color usually is more intense in larger stones. This gemstone is mined mainly in Brazil, but also is found in Nigeria, Madagascar, Zambia, Pakistan, and Mozambique.
Caring for your aquamarine jewelry is a simple process that will ensure that your gemstone maintains its beautiful sparkle. The best way to keep your gem clean is to bring it to your local Helzberg Diamonds store for a complimentary cleaning and inspection. At home, you can brighten your aquamarine jewelry by gentling wiping the gemstone with a jewelry polishing cloth and warm water.

Team Suzuki Press Office - May 23.
Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki showed off the dominance of its riders and the Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki RM-Z450 in the AMA Pro Motocross Championship season opener at the 43rd Annual Rockstar Energy Hangtown National at the weekend.
Defending Champion Ryan Dungey rode strong all day scoring the win in the first moto and backing that up with a solid second-placed podium finish in the second moto. Team mate Brett Metcalfe also rode strong and consistently with two fifth-placed results in his first race since an injury sidelined him in March.
Dungey and his RM-Z were strong from the start, with two solid practices that gave him the eighth gate-pick for Moto 1. A great start put him near the front, just behind Metcalfe. He worked his Suzuki into second in lap two and made a charge for the lead, which he was able to grab in lap six and powered his RM-Z450 across the finish for the first 450 moto win of the year.
In Moto 2, Dungey had another strong start, which put him in second place and he was able to pass for the lead in lap six. He fell back to second in lap eight and battled for the lead, but was unable to make the pass and finished second. His one-two moto finishes gave him a second-place overall for the day and currently tied for the lead in the season points going into next weekend's event in Texas.
"Overall, our day was really good," said Dungey. "We had a good, strong set-up on my Suzuki from practice and my Rockstar Makita Suzuki team made just a few adjustments, which made it even better for the two motos. I got good starts today, which was very helpful. I was able to get out in front and pull away for the win in the first moto, which was a good start to the season. I wasn't able to get the job done in the second moto and ended up in second for the moto and second on the day. It's a really good solid start for the season. There's a lot of motos and a lot of racing. We'll keep moving forward and building from here and we'll be good."
Metcalfe had a great first day back on his RM-Z and started by scoring the seventh fastest lap in practice. In Moto 1, the Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider blasted his Suzuki out of the gate and into the front. He ran in second for the first two laps before falling back and finishing fifth. Metcalfe had a solid start in Moto 2 and rode strong to move from 10th to eventually cross the line with another fifth-placed finish. His 5-5 results gave him fifth overall for the day.
"It was really awesome today," said Metcalfe. "It's good to be back with my Rockstar Makita Suzuki team after being out injured for a while. My Yoshimura-equipped RM-Z was unreal this weekend. It is good to be back racing and I really like the outdoors, so that's a plus for me. I wanted to get a good start to the season and I'm really happy with this fifth overall finish. Coming away, we got a good load of information and learned a lot that will help give me a little more speed out there by making me more comfortable, and then I'll be able to be more aggressive. I'm really looking forward to the next round in Texas so I can build on this result."
The Rockstar Makita Suzuki team's next event is the second round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship on Saturday, May 28th at the Rockstar Energy Freestone National in Wortham, Texas.

Attempted Robbery on UC Berkeley Campus
Police at University of California, Berkeley, are attempting to locate two suspects who tried to rob a student walking on campus Friday night. The student was walking on the Grinnell Pathway near Mulford Hall around 8:45 p.m. when two males on bicycles approached and demanded his property, according to UC Berkeley police.
Police said the victim ran to a nearby payphone and yelled that he was calling the police and the two suspects fled.
The victim was uninjured during the encounter.
Campus police searched the area but didn't find the suspects.
The suspects were both described only as black males believed to be around 14 years old who were each estimated to be roughly 5 feet 8 inches tall with thin builds, according to police.
Both were wearing black hooded sweatshirts at the time of the attempted robbery, police said.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call UC police at (510) 642-0472 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. or (510) 642-6760 after hours.

The Prophet Ibrahim (as) Life
Ibrahim was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah. Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Ibrahim, are those who follow him, as are also this Prophet and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith. (Surah Al-Imran: 67-68)
The Prophet Ibrahim (as)is often referred to in the Qur'an and is distinguished by Allah as an example to people. He conveyed the message of Allah to his people who worshipped idols and he warned them so that they might fear Allah. His people did not listen to his warnings but, on the contrary, opposed him. When the oppression of his people increased, Ibrahim (as)had to move elsewhere with his wife, the Prophet Lut (as), who was his nephew, and possibly a few other people who went with them.
Ibrahim (as) was descended from Nuh (as). The Qur'an states also that he followed the Way of Nuh (as).
Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations! Thus indeed do we reward those who do right. For he was one of our believing Servants. Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood. Verily among those who followed his Way was Ibrahim. (Surat as-Saffat: 79-83)
At the time of the Prophet Ibrahim (as), many people living on the Mesopotamian plains, and in Middle and East Anatolia were worshipping the heavens and the stars. Their most important god was ;Sin;, the moon-god. It was personified as a human with a long beard, wearing a dress carrying a moon on it in the shape of a crescent. In addition, these people made embossed pictures and sculptures of these gods and worshipped them. This was quite a widespread belief system which found appropriate soil for itself in the Near East and thus maintained its existence for a long time. People living in that region continued to worship these gods until around 600 AD. As a consequence of this belief, some constructions known as ;'ziggurats;' which were used both as observatories and temples, were built in the region stretching from Mesopotamia to the interior of Anatolia and here some gods, primarily the moon-god ;'Sin;', were worshipped.12
At the time of the Prophet Ibrahim (as), polytheistic religions were prevalent in the Mesopotamian region. The moon-god, "Sin", was one of the most important deities. People made statues of those false gods and worshipped them. On the left Sin's statues are seen. The crescent figure can be clearly seen on the statue's chest.
This way of belief, only discovered in archaeological excavations today, is to be found mentioned in the Qur'an. As mentioned in the Qur'an, Ibrahim (as)rejected the worship of these deities and turned only to Allah, the one true God. In the Qur'an, Ibrahim's (as)conduct is recounted as follows:
Lo! Ibrahim said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error."
So also did We show Ibrahim the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.
When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set."
When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray."
When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.
For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah." (Surat al-Anam: 74-79)
In the Qur'an, it is indicated that Ibrahim (as)and Lut (as)lived close to each other and were contemporaries, by the fact that the angels sent to the people of Lut (as)came to Ibrahim (as), and announced to his wife the good news of a child, before going on to Lut (as).
An important issue about Ibrahim (as) in the Qur'an, not mentioned in the Old Testament, is the construction of the Ka'bah. In the Qur'an, we are told that the Ka'bah was constructed by Ibrahim (as)and his son Isma'il (as). Today, the only thing known by historians about the past of the Ka'bah is that it is accepted to have been a sacred place since very ancient times. The placing of idols in the Ka'bah during the Age of Ignorance prior to the Prophet Muhammad (saas), is a consequence of the degeneration and distortion of the divine religion once revealed to Ibrahim (as).
The ziggurats, which were used both as temples and astronomical observatories, were constructions made with the most advanced techniques of the age. The stars, the moon and the sun were the primary objects of worship, and therefore, the sky had great importance. Left and below are the important ziggurats of Mesopotamia.
Ibrahim's (as) Place of Birth According to the Old Testament
The place of Ibrahim's (as) birth has always been an issue of debate. While Christians and Jews say that Ibrahim (as)was born in South Mesopotamia, the prevalent thought in the Islamic world is that his place of birth is around Urfa-Harran. Some new finds show that the Jewish and Christian thesis does not reflect the truth completely.
Jews and Christians depend on the distorted Old Testament for their assertion, because in it, Ibrahim (as) is said to have been born in the city of Ur in South Mesopotamia. After Ibrahim (as)was born and brought up in that city, he is said to have set out on the way to Egypt and to have reached Egypt at the end of a long journey in which he passed through the Harran region of Turkey.
However, a recently found manuscript of the Old Testament generated serious doubts about the validity of this information. In this Greek manuscript from the third century BC, which is accepted to be the oldest copy of the Old Testament yet found, ;Ur; is never mentioned. Today, many Old Testament researchers say that the word of ;Ur; is inaccurate or a subsequent addition. This implies that Ibrahim (as) was not born in the city of Ur, and may never have been to the Mesopotamian region in his life.
Besides, the names of some locations, and the regions they imply, change by time. In our day, the Mesopotamia plains generally refer to the south banks of the Iraqi land between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Yet two millennia earlier, Mesopotamia implied a region more northerly, even reaching as far as Harran, and stretching into presentday Turkish lands. Therefore, even if we accept that the expression ;Mesopotamian plain; in the Old Testament is right, it would be misleading to think that the Mesopotamia of two millennia earlier and the Mesopotamia of today are exactly the same places.
Even if there are serious doubts and disagreements on the city of Ur being Ibrahim's (as)birthplace, there is a common agreement on the fact that Harran and its environs region was the place where Ibrahim (as)lived. Moreover, a short research made of the Old Testament itself yields some information supporting the view that Ibrahim's (as)place of birth was Harran. For instance, in the Old Testament, the region of Harran is designated as the ;Aram region; (Genesis, 11:31 and 28:10). It is stated that those who came from Ibrahim's (as)family are ;sons of an Arami; (Deuteronomy, 26:5). The identification of Ibrahim (as)as an Arami shows that he led his life in this region.
In the Islamic sources, there is strong evidence that Ibrahim's (as)place of birth is Harran and Urfa. In Urfa, which is called the ;city of Prophets;, there are many stories and legends about Ibrahim (as).
Why was the Old Testament Altered?
As is revealed in the Qur'an, Ibrahim (as)was sent to an idolatrous people as a messenger. His people worshipped the heavens, stars, the moon and various idols. He struggled against his people, tried to get them turn away from their superstitious beliefs, and inevitably stirred up the enmity of his whole community including his father.
Actually, none of these points are mentioned in the Old Testament. The throwing of Ibrahim (as) into the fire, his breaking his community's idols are not mentioned in the Old Testament. Ibrahim (as)is in general depicted as the ancestor of the Jews in the Old Testament. It is evident that this view in the Old Testament was taken by the chiefs of the Jewish community seeking to bring the concept of ;'race;' to the foreground. The Jews believe that they are a people eternally chosen by God and rendered superior. They deliberately and willingly altered their Divine Book and made additions and deletions in accordance with this belief. This is why Ibrahim (as) is merely depicted as the ancestor of the Jews in the Old Testament.
Christians who believe in the Old Testament, think that Ibrahim (as)is the ancestor of the Jews, but with only one difference: according to Christians, Ibrahim (as)is not a Jew but a Christian. The Christians, who did not heed the concept of race as much as Jews, took this stand and it is one of the causes of disagreement and struggle between the two religions. The dispute between Jews and Christians is reported as follows in the Qur'an:
Ye People of the Book! Why dispute ye about Ibrahim, when the Law and the Gospel Were not revealed Till after him? Have ye no understanding?
Ah! Ye are those who fell to disputing (Even) in matters of which ye had some knowledge! but why dispute ye in matters of which ye have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and ye who know not!
Ibrahim was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah.
Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Ibrahim, are those who follow him, as are also this Prophet and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith. (Surah Al-Imran: 65-68)
In the Qur'an, in contrast to what is written in the Old Testament, Ibrahim (as)is a person who warned his people so that they might fear Allah and who struggled against them for this end. Starting from his youth, he warned his people, who worshipped idols, to give up this practice. His people reacted to Ibrahim (as)by attempting to kill him. Having escaped from the wickedness of his people, Ibrahim (as) finally emigrated.
Say: "What do you think?
If Allah's punishment were to come upon you suddenly by night or openly by day, would any but the wrongdoing people be destroyed?"
(Surat al-An'am: 47)

NAACP to Honor Harry Belafonte as 97th Spingarn Medalist
Legendary singer, songwriter, actor and activist Harry Belafonte will be honored with the 97th Spingarn Medal at the NAACP Spingarn Dinner, February 15th at 7:30 p.m. The ceremony will take place during the NAACP Annual Board Meeting at the New York Marriot Marquis Hotel.
The Spingarn Medal, the NAACP's highest honor, is awarded for outstanding and noble achievement by an American of African descent. The award will recognize Mr. Belafonte's history serving the civil rights movement, from the 1950's to the present day.
"Thank you to the NAACP and to Ben Jealous for the work you do and for the path you are forging for us in these troubled times," said Belafonte after his honor was announced at the 44th NAACP Image Awards on Friday, February 1st.
"Harry Belafonte has pursued a career of extraordinary accomplishment in the performing arts, during which he has unremittingly worked to fulfill his deep commitment to the American principle of equal opportunity and justice for all," stated NAACP Chairman Roslyn M. Brock. "He is an ultimate exemplar that race need be no insurmountable barrier to achievement."
"Mr. Belafonte has never been afraid to speak his mind, even when it might have put his career in danger," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "His combination of charisma and courage, artistic talent and intellectual prowess has made him icon for the ages and a powerful ally for civil and human rights advocates across the globe."
Harry Belafonte has a long history in the civil rights movement. During the 1960's he served as a confidant to Rev. DR. Martin Luther King, Jr. and raised money for civil rights protests. He also bankrolled and drew attention to the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. In 1987, he accepted an appointment as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, thus making him the second American to hold this title. Belafonte has continued to devote himself globally to civil and human rights issues, focusing in particular on the United States and Africa.
Mr. Belafonte has been honored many times by such diverse groups as the American Jewish Congress, the NAACP, the City of Hope, Fight for Sight, The Urban League, The National Conference of Black Mayors, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the ACLU, the State Department, the Boy Scouts of America, Hadassah International and the Peace Corps.
The Spingarn Medal was instituted in 1914 by then-NAACP Chairman Joel E. Spingarn. To date, 96 Spingarn Medals have been awarded, recognizing achievements in a range of fields. Medalists include former U.S. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou, NAACP Chairman Emeriti JulIan Bond and Myrlie Evers-Williams, Rosa Parks, and Dr. King.

Growing up my parents were always saying "We are watching our pennies ". It seemed like a strange phrase to me then but now as I watch our state and federal governments spending the economic stimulus money, it makes sense. I want someone watching our pennies.
Not only do I want someone watching oour pennies, I want someone telling me what they are doing with my pennies. There are some very important facts that we, as North Carolinians, should know about how the stimulus money is being spent–
** What is the money going for ?
** Will the projects being funded benefit the community ?
** Is the money going first to the families and communities hit the worst by our economic downturn ?
** Will there be transparency and openness in the process of awarding money and contracts ?
** Who is receiving the money ? ( If there is more than one contractor or subcontractor, we should know all of them.)
** Is there a timeline for this project? Are there incentives to finish it on time or penalties if it isn't ?
** Is it creating jobs or preventing people from being laid off?
** How many jobs is it saving or creating ?
** Are these jobs a temporary fix or long term employment ?
** What do the jobs pay?
** Do these jobs have benefits like health insurance ? disability ?
** Are people receiving contracts becuase of their past campaign contributions or another connection to an important official ?
** Who is going to be accountable for the success or failure of these projects and grants ?
**And perhaps most importantly of all, how are we going to know any of this?
The state and federal governments each have recovery websites but there is no easy way to figure out exactly who is the recipient of a grant or contract, who any subcontractors may be, whether the money is really creating a job, and if the people most in need are being served.
They are our pennies and we should be able to watch how they are being spent. We need regular, frequent reports from the President, Governor, Congress and the General Assembly that are public, easy to understand and easily accessible. We need to be able to hold our elected officials and other public servants accountable for how they are spending our money. We also need to pay attention and hold them accountable.
Remember to watch your pennies
You can do it at
and many more
Try it

My other consideration is getting one that will fit in my garage...my Tundra has about 5"s. I actually remove my trailer hitch to park it. Some of the Dodge 2500s look to be around the same length but the Ford F250s look longer....not sure about Chevy.
Wish the 'Beast' fit in the garage.... Has to sit out in the weather next to the SRX... O well, kids still get to fight over which one of their cars get to be in the garage.... that's always entertaining!
20'-9" for my GMC extended cab long box. Luckily my garage is 25' deep but the moldings around the door opening give me about 2" on each side and 2" above. I have to make sure there is no snow packed in the driveway and drive in & out reeeaaally slow!
The truck lanes in the rear didn't have gas, all they had was diesel.
Before buying ANY trucks, first you must decide how much trailer you are going for. Gas motors are fine for towing up to about 10,000 pounds. Anything over that get a diesel. Also please forget a 2500 (3/4 ton) trucks. You will run out of load capacity long before you get much trailer. A fifth wheel will place approx 20% of it's loaded weight directly over the rear axle. So even a 10K fifth wheel will put 2000 pounds on the truck.
What about the price difference in gas vs diesel FUEL right now? It's about .60 per gallon MORE for diesel fuel where I live. Will the better fuel efficency with a diesel even this out? Do you really get better with diesel?
Msgtregester: You probably won't be able to fuel your Ram diesel at the truck pumps because the truck pumps are all large diameter (high volume) nozzles and most pick-ups only have a small diameter filler port, probably the same skinny size as is used for gasoline.
Just for a point of reference. My older 2002 will accept a high volume diesel pump. As for the newer trucks I can't answer that...
I feel this is no different than the mh question. who cares if you never recoop your money on the diesel, you will enjoy pulling whatever you pull more, and that is what it's all about right, enjoying your time while camping,rving, whatever you do.I have a 2010 ram35004x4, I pull a 32' load trail trailer with hydra dove tail. I haul 22 round bales that way around 1000 to 1200lbs, yes it "knows" its back there, but pulls great. mileage with this truck....10mpg, loaded or empty.I used to use a 2004 gm2500hd with 6.0, pulling a 24' load boss trailer, with 14bales. yes it diff "knew" it was back there, and pulled it....well lets say it got the job done. mileage with this truck.....14mpg, loaded or empty.would I ever go back....not a snowballs chance in you "know" where...jm2c
yes somewhere around that wait, it has never gotten any worse, nor any better. some of the bales weighed more depending on if they were alittle green or not.
what I was saying is that either way it got 14, loaded or empty, never any better period. and it pulled alright, just that the dodge does it way better, way more quiet, and a lot more secure.

The success of Hope's basketball program this season continues to receive recognition on a national level.
The success of Hope's basketball program this season continues to receive recognition on a national level.
Men's basketball coach Glenn Van Wieren has been named the Division III Coach-of-the-Year by the publication Basketball Times. It is the second time in his career that Van Wieren has been honored for the publication. In 1995 he was named the Division III co-coach of the year.
Two senior players can be considered consensus All-Americans. Marcus Vanderheide has been honored four times as an All-American -- the National Basketball Coaches Association (first team), Basketball Times (third team), DIII News (first team) and D3hoops.com (third team) while Jordyn Boles has been honored three times -- the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (first team), DIII News (first team) and D3hoops.com (honorable mention).
Van Wieren has guided Hope's basketball fortunes for 31 years. This season he achieved his 600th collegiate coaching victory. He reached that milestone faster than any NCAA Division III coach in history. This year's team advanced to the final four of Division III where they finished in third place. The team's 28 victories tied a Hope single season recorsd for wins. The Flying Dutchmen won the MIAA championship, the 17th under Van Wieren. His career record is 618-203 (75%).
Vanderheide and Boles are being honored for their roles in Hope's MIAA championship season. Vanderheide was voted the MIAA's most valuable player and was named the Great Lake region's most outstanding DIII player. Boles was a three-time All-MIAA honoree who over her career started in a school-record 120 consecutive games, compiling an amazing 110-10 record. Vanderheide is from Grandville, Mich. (Calvin Christian HS) and Boles is from Grand Rapids, Mich. (Forest Hills Central HS).

BASF Crop Protection just submitted an application for EPA registration of a new dicamba herbicide called Engenia to help manage glyphosate-resistant weeds. Engenia is a technologically advanced dicamba formulation and will be used on dicamba-tolerant crops currently under development, according to BASF.
"Farmers fighting against herbicide resistance have an important new tool in Engenia, which field research shows will offer excellent weed control and crop safety as well as low-volatility characteristics for improved on-target application," said Paul Rea, vice president, U.S. Crop Protection, BASF.
The new herbicide will deliver broad-spectrum burndown of more than 100 annual broadleaf weeds, including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, marestail, velvetleaf, morningglory and giant ragweed.
BASF expects registration of Engenia to follow the timeframe for commercialization of the dicamba-tolerant soybeans, which is expected in mid-decade. Cotton, corn and canola registration will follow.
"Farmers have only a few post-applied herbicide options in soybeans," Rea said. "Engenia offers an additional site of action for postemergence control, and can also be used preemergence in dicamba-tolerant soybeans."
Engenia offers improved dicamba performance and physical characteristics to minimize potential volatility, BASF reports.
According to BASF, proper application techniques are critical for managing spray drift and top performance of any postemerge herbicide. For more information on herbicide best practices, visit http://agro.basf.us/stewardship/herbicide-best-practices.html.

Nvidia gets biological with life sciences nerds
Better shampoos through GPUs
Nvidia has a substantial lead over rivals Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, and IBM when it comes to peddling graphics co-processors, and it wants to keep that lead and extend it, if possible. That means doing boring old stuff that server and operating system makers have to do, such as lining up application software vendors so they can take full advantage of the Tesla family of GPU co-processors.
To that end, Nvidia has corralled a dozen popular life sciences applications vendors and made sure their code has been run through the CUDA programming environment and can leverage the substantial number-crunching power of Tesla co-processors.
According to Sumit Gupta, senior product manager of the Tesla line at Nvidia, there are more than 500,000 scientists worldwide who are using the computational methods employed in these applications. They are used to simulate molecular compounds and rudimentary organisms (or subsets of them), and they are mostly relying on beefed up x64 workstations and lots of time or lots of iron on a supercomputer but only a small slice of time to do their simulations.
With the Tesla Bio Workbench launched today, Nvidia and its software and hardware partners want life sciences researchers to get greedy and to crave more powerful workstations. These machines - a combination of x64 processors and GPU co-processors - mean that they won't have to share to run their simulations locally. They also want to add GPUs to supercomputer clusters to either simulate more complex molecules and organisms or run longer simulations than are possible on the workstations.
There is a direct relationship between the flops in a box and the complexity or duration of a simulation that box can run, and life sciences applications are no exception. Back in 1982, a top-of-the-line supercomputer with one gigaflops of performance could simulate the 3,000 atoms in the protein aprotinin, also known as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor.
By 1997, a supercomputer with hundreds of gigaflops could simulate the 36,000 atoms in an estrogen receptor, and by 2003, a teraflops-class super could model the 327,000 atoms in the F1 portion of ATP synthase, which is cool because it is a molecular rotor powered by proton gradients inside the cell.
Huge progress has been made in recent years - the 2.7 million atoms in a ribosome being simulated in 2006, for example. The downer is that it took eight months on a massively parallel supercomputer with many hundreds of teraflops to simulate a mere 2 nanoseconds of the ribosome's behavior.
A petaflops supercomputer will be able to simulate the 50 million atoms in a chomatophore - pigment cells found in fish, lizards, amphibians, and other animals often used for camouflage. An exaflops super, by contrast - that's 1,000 petaflops, a performance level we might hit in two, three, or four years depending on who you ask - should be able to simulate a whole bacteria with billions of atoms.
But simulation time needs to increase and the time to run the simulation needs to decrease for these simulations to be useful. Gupta says that researchers need to be able to simulate somewhere between 1 to 100 microseconds, sometimes milliseconds, to do useful modelling of molecular interactions that might, for instance, show how a drug interacts with a cell.
Such speedups are going to require GPU co-processors, says Nvidia, and lots of them. And there are plenty of HPC researchers who are not sure that even this will be enough, as supercomputer designers face daunting power and cooling issues as they try to push up to the exaflops performance level.
The Tesla Bio Workbench is not just about complex molecular and bacterial simulations at the largest supercomputer centers, but doing practical things like discovering new drugs or designing a better shampoo or detergent more quickly than currently can be done.

After years of post-bubble turbulence, the Bay Area housing market appears headed for a period of stability as rapid price increases hit a wall and sales plateau.
October median sale prices for existing houses were up double digits from a year ago, but were down from peaks in June and July, DataQuick reported Wednesday. Sales of existing single family houses were down 6.8 percent across the Bay Area from the same month last year, though up slightly from September.
Without the frenzied competition that characterized the first half of the year, buyers are being more selective and sellers have to be more patient and realistic in their pricing.
"There's more to choose from, less sense of urgency, and probably fewer people out there shopping," said Andrew LePage of DataQuick. And the spike in interest rates during the summer also discouraged some buyers, he said.
"We're clearly cooling off a bit," said Lanny Baker, chief executive of ZipRealty, who noted that pending sales in the Bay Area ended October down 7 percent from the previous year. Nationally, and in the Bay Area, he said, housing prices in the cities with the strongest gains of early 2013 are moderating, and lagging markets are starting to accelerate.
But there are plenty of hot spots with low inventory and high demand. In Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Atherton, "We don't have enough houses to sell," said Wendy McPherson of Coldwell Banker. "Some parts of the market of course are slower by nature of the price range. That's normal. But under $4 million we do not have enough houses to sell."
Peter Giovannatto with Dreyfus Sotheby's International Realty in Palo Alto said the "baseline price" for real estate there is $1,000 a square foot. "We're getting random emails from investors offering $1.4 million to $1.6 million for lots," he said.
Santa Clara County's median of $713,000 was up 15 percent from a year ago, but down 5 percent since June. San Mateo County's median price of $782,000 was up almost 15 percent from a year ago, but down almost 10 percent from a high in August.
Alameda County's median sale price was $568,000, up 35 percent from last year but down nearly 4 percent since a summer peak. Contra Costa County's median sale price of $395,000 was up 31.7 percent from October 2012 but down 12 percent from July.
Alameda County saw a 13.4 percent annual drop in sales. Contra Costa County sales were down 5.5 percent from a year ago; Santa Clara County sales slid 1.9 percent from last year, and San Mateo County sales were down 13 percent annually.
"The multiple-offer hysteria has started to even out," said Hank Perry of Empire Realty in Danville. "Confidence is back" among buyers moving up to larger homes, he said. "A large part of what's driving the market is they feel they can go out and get what their family deserves" as a more relaxed market allows them to shop around.
Around the bay, there are more reports of homes sitting on the market for longer periods, and here and there a price reduction from home sellers unaware of the downward trend who set their price too high.
"Until a few months ago, price reductions were almost unheard of," said Steve Pierce of Keller Williams Benchmark Properties in Fremont. "Now it's becoming more commonplace, particularly if properties were not priced reasonably to begin with."
Pierce said some places and price ranges are seeing brisk demand, and others aren't. "In some areas where inventory is low, the market is just like the hot market we had earlier in the year. In other areas, buyers are being a little more cautious and a little more careful," he said.
In Pleasanton, that became clear to Allison Cox, whose home drew lots of offers, only to have the first two back out.
"The next offer we're waiting to see," Cox said, adding that she's happy to have so much interest. "Four or five other homes in the neighborhood have been sitting on the market and they either haven't had offers or they have been getting offers and not accepting them," she said.
When their sale is final, the Coxes will face another issue that has caused some people to think twice about selling now.
"We need to figure out where we're going to live," she said. "We're going to come out with a good chunk of equity. Now what are we going to do? We're in a pickle about it."
Other factors also point to a more normal market. Distressed sales — foreclosures and sales of houses for less than their mortgage — made up 14 percent of the resale market, less than half of last October's 35 percent.
All-cash buyers — who are often investors — made up almost 23 percent of October sales, down from nearly 30 percent a year ago.
In addition, banks were making more adjustable-rate mortgages. These are a key part of the high-priced Bay Area housing market. They were 20.5 percent of the area's October home purchase loans, up from 11.8 percent a year earlier.

Mazda is the one Japanese car company that you like to think of with words such as panache, or élan (thank you, Lotus.) After all, they're the people who gave us the Miata and the rotary-engined RX-7. As an ex-owner of a third-gen RX-7, I can testify to its wild and crazy behavior – those twin turbos spooling up, the tach needle zooming toward red line.
So what are we doing with a two-ton crossover? Made by Mazda, no less. Well, it's fun to think that perhaps some of the energy and wit that bought us that RX-7 was instilled in this soccer-mom grocery getter. In certain ways, it is. You can detect a whiff of Zoom-zoom, Mazda's advertising slogan, although it isn't easy.
The CX-9 is the largest car Mazda makes. It's 200 inches long (nearly three feet longer than that RX-7) and seats seven, nearly all of them comfortably. And here's where we detect the Ricky Racer aspect of this beast: even when you're in Drive, the gear-indicating numbers still flash up in the instrument pod. That's pure Mazda. Most other car makers would say, forget it, who needs it?, they're lucky we even tell them they're in Drive. With Mazda, they want you to know what's going on. (Just so you know Mazda is thinking of your sporting side, the CX-9 also has manumatic shifting, so you really can race up and down those six gears at will.)
Once inside, I'm struck with the fact that this is a somewhat upscale people hauler but is not stretching itself into the luxo range (viz. Lexus, Infiniti, et al.) We had the top-of-the-line Grand Touring front-wheel-drive (all-wheel-drive is available) car with the $2,450 "tech package," which gave us navigation, sunroof and a 10-speaker audio system. The sticker price for all this was $38,315. Is this high? Not really. Consider that the average price of a new car in the U.S. these days is a bit over $30,000. The base FWD CX-9 starts at $29,985 and the AWD version starts at $31,575. Of course, you can also try out a few of the CX-9's competitors, such as the Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Explorer, and Chevrolet Traverse, for comparison.
The CX-9 comports itself like a car, in the sense that this is not a truck camouflaged to feel like a car. It's something that feels like a tall station wagon and it rides like a car. You may buy one with AWD, but don't think it's going to gambol over that nearby mountain. It's meant for the soccer pitch and the mall, that's about it.
The seating arrangement allows for two up front, three in the second row and two in the third row wayback. The CX-9's Siberia is, as it is in most cars like this, really for kids (once they're out of the strapped-in car seats) or people who are quite small. Mercifully, the second-row seats slide forward, which makes third-row entry easier and also means that if you need to haul five adults in the back, all five will be slightly uncomfortable for what you hope will be a brief ride.
On the road, the CX-9 does drive like a car and its 273-horsepower, 3.7-liter V6 engine has enough in the strength department to get you down the road at extra-legal speeds. Fuel economy in the FWD version is 17/24 mpg, city/highway.
This car had the blind-spot monitoring system and it beeped and winked at me faithfully and, after a while, even annoyingly, making me think wistfully of the days when a set of lap belts was seemed like a bit of self-indulgence. (Ed. note: Tsk, tsk. Might remind your readers that cars a lot safer now than they were in your nostalgic lap-belt days.)
Were we in the market for a car like this, we'd look seriously at the CX-9. It does all the things expected of it without complaint and it does have a touch of that race track sensibility in it. And it will hold more than the Miata, even if it isn't as much fun.

For trivia lovers: the sticker you see on the window of every new car for sale in the United States is known in the auto industry as the "Monroney." It is named for U.S. Senator Almer Stilwell (Mike) Monroney, the Oklahoma Democrat who sponsored the Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958, which required all new cars to have labels that detail the price of the car and its options.

A friend of mine posted this this other day on Facebook and it really resonated with me, a lot! The Busy Trap. That is exactly what it is. We are all soooo busy and we feel like we are trapped. In reality, most of of us do it to ourselves. I know I do. I felt like this article was important to share since the author said so many things that rang true with me and so many of my friends. This time of year, I think it is also a great reminder how important it is to slow down, enjoy the season, and give something back to ourselves; time.
As you read this article, we are not all authors or bed and breakfast owners or stay at home Mom's, or whatever it is that you do that makes you so important, but I think we will all understand that it is okay to say no once in awhile or to heck with it. In fact, soon after I read this, I picked up a book and enjoyed an hour to myself this afternoon. It was really nice.

About the Author
Glenn R. Schmitt is the Acting Director of the National
Institute of Justice.
This article first appeared in the May/June 2006 issue
of The Prosecutor, a bimonthly publication
from the National District Attorneys Association (www.ndaa.org).
In today's criminal justice system, one of the most
powerful tools in the search for the truth is DNA evidence.
But the complexity of forensic DNA technologies, techniques,
and analysis presents new challenges to prosecutors, defense
lawyers, and judges.
As new and more complex types of forensic techniques are
developed, and as the public becomes aware of them, judges
and lawyers are frequently faced with the so-called "CSI
Effect"—inflated expectations by jurors of how
forensic analysis can be used in criminal investigations.
This problem is probably nowhere more pronounced than in
the area of forensic DNA analysis. Continuing advances in
this field increase jurors' expectations that science
can solve most crimes. The use of forensic DNA analysis
is increasing as States continue to pass laws that expand
their DNA databases to require all felons and, in some States,
even persons arrested for crimes, to provide a DNA sample.
The Nation's courts are being called upon to adjudicate
an even greater number of cases that involve forensic DNA
evidence, and the officers of those courts are being asked
to use this type of evidence far more often.
To assist lawyers and judges in the use of DNA analysis
in the courtroom, the National Institute of Justice—the
research, development and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department
of Justice—created an online training program, Principles
of Forensic DNA for Officers of the Court. NIJ's
interactive, computer-based training program discusses DNA
evidence from the crime scene to the laboratory, from the
courtroom to post-conviction testing, and was funded as
part of the President's DNA Initiative, Advancing
Justice Through DNA Technology. The DNA Initiative
provides operational funding, laboratory capacity-building,
training, research and development, and technical assistance
to help ensure that forensic DNA technology reaches its
full potential to solve crime, protect the innocent, and
identify missing persons.
The 15-module Officers of the Court program covers
a wide-range of topics dealing with forensic DNA analysis,
Module 13, for example, discusses ways to make DNA evidence
more comprehensible to jurors. It offers a video that shows
an expert witness presenting her background and qualifications
to a jury. There is guidance for formulating questions to
a forensic DNA expert, including sample opening questions.
There is also a discussion on the use of analogies to help
jurors intelligently and fairly evaluate DNA evidence. And
the module addresses pretrial preparation between attorney
and expert to ensure that jurors receive the appropriate
level of technical detail, including testimony on issues
such as the significance of testing results and areas of
potential cross-examination.
Another module in the training program discusses the framework
within which states can conduct post-conviction DNA testing.
For example, hair found at a crime scene that previously
might have been identified only by microscopic analysis
can now be tested using mitochondrial DNA analysis. In addition,
recent technological advances now allow testing of smaller,
limited, degraded, or mixed biological samples. This module
also provides information on the existence, location, and
condition of biologic evidence, and offers guidance on some
of the legal and procedural issues involved in post-conviction
DNA testing.
Looking to the future, module 15 examines emerging trends
in DNA analysis and how these may affect the use of biologic
evidence in the courtroom. For example, an increasing number
of laboratories are automating DNA testing procedures to
reduce cost, increase efficiency, and decrease the likelihood
of human error.
Online tutorials—sometimes called "e-learning"—can
decrease training costs for judges and public- and private-sector
criminal lawyers. And, as legal professionals gain a greater
understanding of DNA analysis—the most rapidly evolving
scientific method of identification—plea bargains may
increase, leading to administrative cost savings. In fact,
efficiencies may be realized beyond the courts, as more
coordination occurs among requests for DNA testing, pretrial
preparation, and expert testimony requirements.
This training program uses a multimedia approach: text,
images, animations, audio, and video. Some of the Nation's
top criminal law, forensic science, and e-learning experts
helped develop this training. Although it is designed primarily
for prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges, it is also
an outstanding resource for victim advocates, investigators,
law students, and other criminal justice professionals interested
in this area.
Because the forensic sciences are ever evolving—and
particularly because the general public often misunderstands
the application and utility of DNA evidence—judges
and lawyers must increase their understanding of DNA technology
and how it is used to prove guilt or innocence. NIJ is committed
to developing tools to help them meet that responsibility.
Take the training Principles of Forensic DNA for Officers of the Court.

It may come as a shock, but online communities or forums for IT professionals do actually work - in the US at any rate.
A survey of over 200 US-based IT professionals, published this week by King Research, shows that 100 per cent of those who participate in online communities say they get professional benefits from the experience. And 85 per cent also say they get personal benefits.
Professional benefits include being able to keep up with new developments and solve problems faster. Personal benefits include career development and peer networking.
A staggering 93 per cent of the sample claim to be able to do their jobs more efficiently and save time by using community sites to solve system administration problems. As many as 82 per cent say they save at least one hour a week by using the information found in online communities, and a third say they save three or more hours a week.
Interestingly, most of those surveyed (98 per cent) also say they see the information from online communities as "typically accurate and trustworthy".
Despite the strong positive response, online communities could improve. Respondents said the main complaint is the need to scan several different sites to get the answers they want. A whopping 94 per cent said, for example, they have to visit more than one source of information for each problem, and 75 per cent would prefer a single source of answers.
The survey is sponsored by system management software developer Kace, which supports its own community site Appdeploy Live as part of its KBOX product. Other community sites referred to in the survey include Yahoo!, Google, and Tech Target.
Kace says AppDeploy Live is a knowledge base updated by over 16,000 contributing professionals, with access to data on over 60,000 applications and processes. It claims over 100,000 visitors a month.

It is the duty of everyone to keep a good check on bad odors and take the right measures to control the odors. This will help you to get rid of the serous consequences that you have to encounter later. The bad odour will be generally not visible. Only the humans as well as other living beings can feel the smell. The most important thing is to identify as well as find all possible means for odour control. Very often, the smell is harmless. However, if you are continually exposed to the strong smells or odors, it may lead you to many diseases, which can be even fatal to life. They can also affect other fundamental parts of the body and cause numerous problems. Some of the three main elements, which cause odor, are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. These three elements are released in almost any environment as well as its surroundings.
The oxygen content, which is present in the atmosphere will usually create a sweet smell. The nitrogen as well as sulfur is responsible for creating bad odor. Nitrogen in ammonia is normally found in the residential and industrial centers. It can also affect as well as damage the entire environmental system. Most of the industries have taken adequate measures for controlling the odor. Industries are also doing everything possible for reducing the quantity as well as quality of solid waste. However, as a consumer, it is also very important for you to take some measures for odour control. This will be not just beneficial for you, but also for the environment.

documentation for proof-checker commands of the same names. Set
save-flg to
nil to turn off this feature; except, it always stays on
in proof-checker sessions entered with
verify. The other argument,
inhibit-flg, controls whether output should be inhibited when it is
created (normally, during a proof attempt). So a common combination is to
set both arguments to
t, to indicate that output should be suppressed for
now but saved for printing with
pso or

give a good summary of the functionality, including the meaning of values
:all and
:normal for the first and second arguments (respectively).
Saved output is cleared at the start of every event, and also at the start of

interactive proof-checker commands, that is, from a proof-checker
session entered with

Also see set-print-clause-ids, which causes subgoal numbers to be printed

Loyola hosts international pianists in concerto showcase, solo recital
February 8, 2013
Pre-eminent young classical pianists from around the world will return to Loyola University New Orleans this month to perform at two events presented in conjunction with the Musical Arts Society of New Orleans. Both performances take place in the Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, located in the Communications/Music Complex on Loyola's main campus.
"I am thrilled that Loyola and MASNO are working together, continuing to do the crucial work needed to keep the arts alive and vibrant at this important time. Roussel Hall is a treasure, a major center for artistic life in our city, and we are so happy to share it with others," said Dean of Loyola's College of Music and Fine Arts Donald Boomgaarden, Ph.D.
The Concerto Showcase VII on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 3 p.m. will feature the winners of MASNO's 2012 International Piano Competition in a program of rousing concertos with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Gold medalist Viktor Valkov from Bulgaria will play Béla Bartók's "Piano Concerto No. 1," silver medalist Sejoon Park from the U.S. will play Sergei Rachmaninov's "Piano Concerto No. 2" and bronze medalist Evgeny Brakhman from Russia play Maurice Ravel's "Piano Concerto in G Major." Ticket prices for the showcase range from $20 to $73 and are available online or by calling 504-523-6530.
In a solo recital Monday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Park will perform a varied program, including Joseph Haydn's "Piano Sonata in D Major, Hob XVI:42;" Ludwig van Beethoven's "Piano Sonata in E-flat Major, Op.27, No.1;" Robert Schumann's "Humoreske, Op.20;" and Enrique Granados' "The Maiden and the Nightingale" from his piano suite, "The Goyescas." The recital is free and open to the public.
Park has won top prizes at numerous piano competitions, including the Oberlin Conservatory International Piano Competition, the Pianoarts National Competition, Eastman International Piano Competition, Southeastern Piano Concerto Competition and the Aspen Music Festival Piano Concerto Competition. He has performed at major venues across the globe and made solo appearances with orchestras such as the United Korean Orchestra, the Eurasian Philharmonic and the South Carolina Philharmonic, among others.
"The Musical Arts Society of New Orleans is proud to acknowledge Loyola's ongoing support and sponsorship of its principal events—the New Orleans International Piano Competition and the Keyboard Festival/Piano Institute," said MASNO Executive and Artistic Director Daniel Weilbaecher. "The Concerto Showcase and Sejoon's recital attest to the strength of our ongoing relationship."

Will the real person out of their head, please stand up...
And P.S. Don't worry. My mom ended up moving back to Los Angeles soon after I received this lovely Thanksgiving Day greeting. Are you happy?!
After I spoke to you today and you asked me if "I was happy", I wondered if something was wrong with you! How could you ask me that? Do you think I've been having a good time?
I have no home, no job, and I'm struggling just to keep a roof over me and you ask "if I'm happy"!!
I haven't seen you in 4 months. I'm lonely and yet you ask me that. Don't you realize what I'm going through?
Nan & Michael are fucking out of their head and I have no one to talk to. You wanted me out of LA. I should ask, "Are you happy?"
You got what you wanted.

No one wants a Bond girl to burp
From the time I was old enough to stay home by myself up until my time with The Free Press, I was not a parade person.
In theory I have nothing against parades, mainly because children seem to enjoy them. I appreciate the effort it takes to put a great marching band together, and there is nothing cuter than a dozen kids riding on a flatbed trailer in 28 degree weather.
It's always exciting to see horses strolling down main street, mainly because you know at any second something voluminous and pungent might emanate from them at any moment. The thrill meter goes up if the horses are walking directly in front of the marching band.
The next couple of paragraphs will no doubt cause man knee jerk reactions, but I will do my best to lay some groundwork here before committing career suicide.
For the record, there's not a bigger fan of firefighters than I. I've donated money, profiled them in print and performed at fundraisers for victims of the 9/11 attacks. I have family that are on fire departments, and one of my best friends in the world is a fireman. Local departments have responded to fires involving friends and family over the years, and have put themselves in harm's way to protect other peoples' lives and property.
Most firefighters in our area are volunteers, so it's hard to find fault with anyone who will risk injury or death for a stranger. If my house catches fire I pray the fire department is able to save it along with my Bert Convey autographed VHS collection of �Give Me A Break.� That Nell Carter never won an Emmy for best actress in a comedy is a complete travesty.
All that being said, I'm now going to ask something of the brave, selfless firefighters out there: Do you have to blare the sirens at parades? I know all of you don't do it, but in Pink Hill last Sunday it sounded like every tea kettle on earth was going off at the same time � for about 15 minutes. I haven't seen that many dogs crying since Rin Tin Tin's and Benji's civil union ceremony.
Always wanting to be fair, I consulted a friend of more than 20 years who is currently a firefighter in Lenoir County. He agreed to speak to me under the condition of anonymity.
�I'll tell ya, I hate it,� the firefighter said. �There is a guy in our department who does that and I refuse to ride in the truck with him at parades; it gets on people's nerves.�
When asked why some feel the need to ride the siren, the firefighter wasn't sure.
�I'm not exactly sure why they do it,� he said. �Sometimes it's done because the kids want you to do it, but on the other hand sometimes you'll see kids covering their ears and crying because it scares them. I think a little bit of the siren here and there would quell the curiosity of those who want to hear it without annoying everyone else.�
My firefighter buddy ended the conversation by reminding me that if I used his name in this column he'd have my house surrounded with fire trucks, sirens-a-blazin,' at 3 a.m. tomorrow.
The other group I'd like to address here are those with cars, trucks or motorcycles with mufflers that are apparently designed to split steel at 40 paces. Why do you feel the need to take a beautiful piece of machinery and turn it into a violent proponent of noise pollution? The vehicle you're driving is beautiful, and that's enough.
You know that scene in �Dr. No� when Ursula Andress emerges from the ocean in that white bikini? That's a beautiful thing. Now, imagine that scene ending with a close-up of Ursula burping a few lines of �Ave Maria.� Kind of ruins the vibe, doesn't it?
If you're driving a 1967 Corvette, a shiny Harley Davidson or a monster truck tall enough for giraffes to mate under, you already have our attention. Splitting our eardrums with a tricked out muffler will turn us away. You're obviously driving your prized ride in the parade because you're proud of it and understandably want to show it off. Seems counterproductive to purposefully do something that will turn people away.
I'm under no illusion this simple tome will change anything, so with that in mind I'll be selling earplugs for $1 a piece at all future parades. There the little yellow kind that you squish into your ear, and afterwards you can use them to separate your toes while applying polish. They are also pretty good on a cracker, and if you're a little short when it comes time to roast marshmallows on a stick, these little buggers will probably fool those in your circle who are a little slow on the draw.
Please don't let my house burn down. Please.

The 2012 drought raises the possibility of crop insurance payments this year. An online tool for calculating insurance payments from COMBO products is available here. This tool will also calculate crop revenue, as well as sales and losses from any hedging. A similar tool is available in the 2012 Crop Insurance Decision Tool, which is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet available for download here.
Online Crop Insurance What-If
The image below displays what you will see when you go to the link. In order to use the spreadsheet, click on the box in the upper right corner labeled "Click to Edit". The user then can enter 1) crop insurance input which describes the crop insurance product, 2) harvest yield and price used to calculated insurance payments and crop revenue, and 3) hedging inputs used to calculate hedging gains or losses. In our example for corn, we have an RP policy at 80%, APH of 180 bu. per acre, harvest yield of 100 bu. per acre, harvest price of $7.50 per bu., harvest basis of -$0.20, and 90 bu. per acre hedged at a net cash price of $5.25 per bu.
The spreadsheet contains four tables. The first table shows crop insurance payments and revenues, as illustrated below.
The above table shows crop insurance payments and revenues for different coverage levels:
1. Crop insurance payments show payments for the product selected. In the example, payments are based on Revenue Protection (RP) crop insurance at an 80% coverage level.
2. Crop revenue equals the harvest yield times the harvest prices minus the harvest basis level. In the example, crop revenue is $730 per acre which equal 100 bu. of harvest yield x $7.30 cash price ($7.50 harvest price - $.20 harvest basis level).
3. Hedging gain or loss. On each bushel that is priced, a hedging gain or loss is calculated equal to the net cash price sold at minus the cash price (harvest price minus harvest basis level). In the example, hedging gain is -$2.05 per bu. ($5.25 net cash price – ($7.50 harvest price - $.20 basis).
4. Total revenue is the sum of crop insurance payments plus crop revenue plus hedging gain/loss.
Three remaining tables show sensitivity analysis for crop insurance payments, crop revenues, and hedging gains/losses.
This tool will be useful in gauging per acre revenue from crop insurance, crop revenue, and marketing activities.

Time wondered out loud if Liz and Dick would be the worst movie of the year, and they weren't alone.
The ironically anticipated Lifetime movie, starring perennial basketcase Lindsay Lohan, was pretty much universally slammed, most notably by Elizabeth Taylor herself.
No one is going to play Elizabeth Taylor, but Elizabeth Taylor herself.— Elizabeth Taylor (@DameElizabeth) July 23, 2010
Of course the tweet was sent long before the movie aired, or even before development had even begun. Taylor sent the tweet in July 2010, and died in March 2011. Lifetime announced the biopic in May 2011.
Actual Train Wrecks reject any offensive comparisons to "Liz and Dick."— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) November 26, 2012
I cannot take LaLohan seriously as Elizabeth Taylor... its like Paris Hilton playing Marilyn Monroe @perezhilton #Liz and Dick— Lyndsey(@MsLynsA) November 26, 2012
Watching "Liz and Dick" while I have several unwatched Homelands on the DVR. I AM THE PROBLEM.— James Urbaniak (@JamesUrbaniak) November 26, 2012
