Social media: Is there a sector of the stock market that gets more buzz with less bang? Certainly not one whose prospects as a widely owned investment are so uncertain.
One day, these stocks may richly reward investors. Or they could become a bust. Take Groupon's (GRPN) ouster of 32-year-old chief executive Andrew Mason, following poor quarterly results and a 24% Thursday stock plunge. The weak results "heightened scrutiny about whether its business model is flawed," the Wall Street Journal writes this morning.
Or Facebook (FB). The stock's rebound cooled notably in February. Its shares are up by 2.4% for the year heading into Friday's session, lagging major stock indexes. This performance in part reflects investor doubt about the company's rich valuation.
Plenty of people who bought into railroad companies in the 1870s still lost money. The same was true for computer investors in the 1970s.
The point is, all investors' hopes for social media — as an investment, as distinct from a technology — are baked into a handful of very volatile stocks.
The diversification of index funds is a useful guard against single-company risk. But the social-media sector is too young for that.
Case in point: You'd think the year-and-a-half-old Global X Social Media Index ETF (SOCL) would have gathered assets if buy-and-hold investors were ready to move in. They're not. The Global X fund has not quite $12 million, according to XTF.com.

A 56-year old Price man was struck and killed by lightning at the Wedge Overlook on July 11.
Joseph Louis Geiser was struck by lightning while he was out in the area of the Wedge Overlook, about 20 miles east of Castle Dale, out in the San Rafael Desert.
Emery County authorities responded to a call at 3:55 p.m. of a report that a man was struck by lightning near the Wedge Overlook.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene where CPR was already being performed on Geiser by a family member who was with him. Despite their efforts, emergency personnel were unable to revive Geiser and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Geiser and his wife and grandaughter and one of her friends were on an outing at the Wedge.
When the storm started Geiser instructed his wife and family members to get back in the van. Geiser was standing near the edge when he was struck by the lightning. His wife immediately began CPR while his grandaughter called 911 and remained on the line with the dispatcher. Several Emery County officers responded to the scene. A report was made to the medical examiners office and Geiser was transported by Fausett Mortuary.
Two days after this lightning death a scout was struck at Scofield while attending scout camp and died from the strike.
Another scout was injured by the same lightning strike as the two boys were together at the time.

Skip to comments.Impact of Romney campaign gaffe
Posted on 03/22/2012 4:07:29 PM PDT by God-fear-republican
ERIC FEHRNSTROM, ROMNEY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: I think he hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes, it's almost like an Etch A Sketch you can kind of shake it up and restart all over again.
GINGRICH, R - PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Some people talk about making pledges that are in stone. But the idea that a Romney pledge is on Etch A Sketch, this should remind everyone in the conservative movement why they are very worried about a Romney presidency and about a Romney candidacy. And it really makes you doubt and wonder about his sincerity.
RICK SANTORUM: When the primary is over you're gonna see a very different Mitt Romney. We all knew that. May he at least have the courage to admit what we all knew.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
See the video at source, very informative. It will be hard for Romney to wiggle out of this. What a sleek salesman!
Will vote GOP down ticket...will not vote for a Romney ticket no matter what and go ahead an flame me I no longer give a damn..the wages of sin is death and we can either go quickly under Obama or with Obama lite ( romney) the slide will continue
I shall focus on my faith...look for a valid third party at some point...i am done voting for RINOS
Gaffe = Inadvertently saying what you really think.
I'm with you.
Amen!!!! I am with you 100% on this one.
Flame me, shoot me, beat me, ... there is nothing you can do to get me to vote for Romney.
Won't matter as the etch-a-sketch gaffe has ruined any chance he has in Nov.
Santorum 2012
America is more prosperous and our liberties are safer when the government can't get anything done, IMHO.
Mitt Romney can take a hike. I don't even consider him an option. The MA liberal should go back home and leave the rest of us alone.
I wish it were so.....how I wish it were so...
Same here.
I can't flame you for following my own plan....
There are important items down-ballot.
With that remark, the communications director may have just "reset" the primary possibilities. He could hardly have chosen a more perfect image to depict the very reason so many conservatives feel great uneasiness with Romney as the possible nominee. Sometimes these people accidentally speak the truth.
You can add me to your list.
An insightful thought and often overlooked. I tend to agree.
Staff doesn't invent this stuff at this point in the campaign. Mitt is the leader...he is the guy telling his staff what the strategy is...and from all I hear, Mitt is a very top down guy!
"You can add me to your list."
You are 100% correct
I believe the only reason that Romney is even still in this thing is because 1. the Republican elite and 2. His money machine.
His advisors are incompetent dumbasses. The campaign they are running is a mess. He doesn't connect with voters and he's all over the place. He talks doublespeak and contradiction and no one really believes a word that comes out of his mouth.
The guy had one thing right I think...they need a do-over once the nomination is finally sealed up (if it is) because if they keep going like this they will look like idiots up against Obama and his billion dollars.
The RomneyBots are curiously silent tonight.
Eric Fehrnstron just repeated what his boss said in their strategy or staff meeting, laughing their heads off, they just got a little carried away. I still believe, NEWT!!!!
It's wierd watching FR become a pro-Obama site.
We will not vote for any ticket with Romney on it.
Even Obama is more honest than Romney, and
Obama is an out and out liar.
It's weird being on Free Republic and responding to people supporting liberals of any kind.
A communications director is not going to go to the press and introduce a whole new concept (that he invented)...he is going to simply repeat what the boss told him!
Mitt might purchase the nomination (which is exactly what he and his LDS supporters have done)...but he will NEVER win the election.
That said, FR isn't a Pro-Obama site...it's a Pro-Conservative site. Period.
Its been weird over the last few days to watch some Freepers try to shill for the extreme liberal from MA.
It's all the RomneyBots have, the "Oooga Booga" vote for Romney or you're voting for Obama scare tactic. No logic whatever, just pure emotion.
Well, if the Republicans take the Senate and Romney wins the presidency, you get your wish.
Having lived in MA, I have absolutely no doubts regarding Romney's sincerity. That is why I have said for two years on this site that I would not under any circumstances vote for Mitt. He's simply a slower version of Obama, a big government liberal who doesn't hate America the way Obama does but still wants to take all possible control over our money and our lives. No, thank you.
The difference? With Romney the car's going slower.
If you think that anti-Romney = pro-Obama you're as full of crap as a Christmas turkey as far as I'm concerned.
If you give in each time the GOP says bend over, you've only got yourself to blame.
Yeah, obama will destroy the country. Romney will just do it more slow and painfully, except that it will be someone YOU PUT IN POWER as a voter.
"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
The GOP will be over when they collapse under a crushing romney defeat. The demoralized base won't turn out and we may lose the house and definitely won't win the senate.
This is what the elites want. We've failed if romney is permitted to win the primary.
Plan accordingly.
I don't know who's going to be on the ballot, but I know I'll be voting against Obama. That seems to be a hard choice for some here.
Horse hockey. I for one plan to vote against Obama. I'll be voting for a conservative. I'm pretty sure everyone else here will be doing the same.
I think that the Hamilton quote posted right above yours sufficiently explains why never voting for Romney is not a difficult decision for me.
FReegards Ramius.
You forgot to strap the dog to the roof.
Interesting comment.
Which outcome do you prefer, Obama stays and Reid goes, or Reid stays and Obama goes?
But at this time? Nature doesn't care- birth just happens when it does. I know who I'd like to see lead it but she'd have to pick a running mate palatable to the masses to avoid a still-born party. Doable? Yes. Easy, no. It never is.
Offering McCain II to combat Obama just doesn't offer much promise. I don't want to 'best' this marxist, I want to beat him and his ilk into the ground. I want the entire media to get a bloody nose for all the crap they piled on the Palin family. I want revenge for the many things they've done in the last three + years.
Most of all, I want my grandchildren to know that I didn't go down without a fight against those who are already spending their future. McRomneyDole just doesn't feel like a winner.
I understand your sentiment but this time it is essential that the government "get something done." As in rolling back Obamacare, rescinding the onerous EPA regs, amending Dodd-Frank to the point it becomes invisible, stop the folly of funding green energy in a willy-nilly fashion while sensibly utilizing our voluminous oil, natural gas and, yes, even coal resources, doing what can be done to restore a business friendly climate where people get back to work and fuel our ecomomy. Also, start to modify the Medicare program so it doesn't financially swallow us whole.
Simply put, if much of the damage Obama and his Dim cronies in DC, in the union halls, in Hollywood, in the newsrooms and TV studios, has done isn't countered in the next presidential term it will no longer much matter who is elected. By that time (2017), the socialist and fascist rot will be damned well entrenched all throughout our society and almost impossible to stop.
So, please, don't be so quick to declare "I will never do.....this or that." If you're in a battleground state, your single vote could mean a lot.
Personally, I think Obama is going to get routed. But I may be wrong so I will go vote R top to botton on Nov. 6. We need to get the presidency AND control of the senate. Republicans need both or I fear greatly for our republic.
If one party is in control I would rather it be the Republicans, obviously.
I find them a little more trustworthy than Dems, but not a whole lot.

ordinary place
the art of David Malangi
31 July – 7 November 2004
Media Preview
National Gallery of Australia
Friday 30 July 2004 at 12noon
Followed by lunch
RSVP essential
Public Affairs + 61 2 6240 6431
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The first retrospective exhibition of David Malangi Daymirringu (1927–1999) will open on Friday 30 July 2004 at the National Gallery of Australia. The exhibition, comprising 67 works, predominantly bark paintings and 13 remarkable sculptures, celebrates the art and life of David Malangi Daymirringu and the important role of this innovative artist in Australia's cultural heritage.
Malangi came to prominence in the 1960s, painting consistently over four decades within a private ceremonial context as well as for the public domain, gaining international prominence. Malangi is most familiar to Australians through the reproduction of one of his bark painting designs on the reverse of the one dollar note, released as part of Australia's new decimal currency in 1966.
No ordinary place traces the development of Malangi's work from the early bark paintings of the 1960s that record his patrilineally inherited land and ceremonies, to the masterful dedications to his mother's land and culture for which he was also responsible, and where he spent the last 30 years of his life.
'Malangi was a true innovator in the bark painting medium and No ordinary place provides the opportunity to celebrate the extensive contribution of this talented and highly significant artist in the company of his peers, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike' said curator of the exhibition Susan Jenkins.
Malangi was cultural manager of his family's vast inherited pictorial language, based on the stories and ceremonies associated with the mangroves, mud flats and fresh waterholes around the magnificent Glyde River in central Arnhem Land, and dedicated his entire adult life to the development of a strong individual graphic style.
He was one of a group of renowned Indigenous artists who represented Australia at the landmark exhibition Dreamings: the art of Aboriginal Australia held at The Asia Society Galleries, New York in 1988 and that same year was a key contributor to the magnificent Aboriginal Memorial in the National Gallery of Australia.
To accompany the exhibition, the National Gallery of Australia has published a fully-illustrated publication about the life and art of David Malangi, edited by Acting Curator, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, Susan Jenkins with contributions by Nigel Lendon, Djon Mundine, Margie West and members of the Malangi family.
The National Gallery of Australia gratefully acknowledge the generous support of our Principal Sponsor, Newmont Australia Ltd, a proud partner of Reconciliation Australia.
The exhibition has also been assisted by the Australian Government through the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Arts Board of the Australia Council; the Indigenous Arts Strategy of the Northern Territory Government; Bula'bula Arts, Northern Territory made an invaluable contribution to the exhibition and the accompanying publication.
We also thank media sponsor the Seven Network, the Reserve Bank of Australia for funding educational material; Australian Air Express for assistance in touring the exhibition around Australia; and the De Bortoli family for providing wines for the media launch and gala opening.

Gimme a break
Robin Brownlee
January 10 2009 04:31PM
If there's such thing as good news with how the Edmonton Oilers are staggering toward the halfway mark of their schedule like pie-eyed tourists toting a cupful of quarters at 2 a.m. in Las Vegas, it came this morning.
All-star defenceman Sheldon Souray, who left the game with an unspecified injury during the second period of Friday's 4-1 loss to San Jose and didn't return, was back on the ice at Rexall Place for practice today. It turns out Souray tweaked his left shoulder in a collision with Tomas Plihal, but aside from some numbness and tingling, he's fine and will be good to go against the St. Louis Blues Sunday.
And tough guy Zack Stortini, who fell awkwardly during a scrap with Brad Staubitz -- many feared he'd suffered a badly broken leg -- has escaped what looked like a season-ending injury with a sprained knee. With the Oilers going nowhere fast in Western Conference standings as they hit the 41-game mark against St. Louis, a silver lining is better than a swift size 13 in the groin.
"I just gave my shoulder a little tweak. It was a pretty innocent play," Souray said. "It was more of a precautionary thing at that point. I wanted to make sure I was ready for the next game." When Souray, limited to 26 games last season, left the ice shaking his left arm, there was reason to fear the worst. He's had surgery on both his left shoulder and wrist, so it didn't look good. Souray expects he'll be good to go against the Blues and doesn't see any long-term effects. He said today he'll keep his date in Montreal for the all-star game. "It's not going to be an issue," he said.
Stortini didn't get off as easily and will be out for an unspecified length of time, but he's not nearly as badly off as he could have been. The play with Staubitz had spiral fracture written all over it. "He's got rubber legs, obviously," MacTavish said of Stortini. "When we looked at the replay, it looks like something's got to break, but it didn't. That's good news. "It still strained a bunch of (ligaments). I'm shocked, absolutely shocked that it wasn't so much worse. It's going to be awhile, but . . ."
-- Sam Gagner has been battling a nagging ankle injury and it forced him to leave practice early today. He's been playing through a fair bit of discomfort, and it flared up again against the Sharks. "It's just precautionary," Gagner said. "My skating is fine. Going into battles, I'm not really worry about it. "During a hard battle, I'll tweak it and the pain will last for five or 10 seconds and go away. It's nagging and something I have to stay on top of."
-- Robert Nilsson, who sustained one mild concussion already this season, got buzzed Friday when he fell into the end boards. He skated today but is less than 100 per cent. With Stortini out and Gagner and Nilsson hurting, expect the Oilers to call-up a player from Springfield of the AHL.
-- MacTavish had Gilbert Brule skating with Kyle Brodziak and Steve MacIntryre in Stortini's absence. Liam Reddox was on right wing with Dustin Penner and Shawn Horcoff.
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on TEAM 1260.
@ CurtisS: You're sounding a bit "entitled" here. Wanye doesn't fall out of the rack or climb out of the gutter until after noon.
Ask nicely and maybe there'll be a GDB and even an update. As for confirmation, the Nilsson tidbit comes from Rishaug at the morning skate. Any reason to doubt it?
January 11 2009, 12:46PM
The saddest thing next to the fact that the 'brain trust' played both Stortini (not an NHL player) and Macintyre (seems like a nice guy, but c'mon)....to solve the injury dilemma, the best guy to call up is someone named Potulny.
Deep organization, eh?
@ Zamboni Driver: Just feel like bitching? Have some class and don't take swipes at a player like Stortini, who just suffered a bad knee injury doing the best he can. Same with MacIntyre. He's fine as a five minute a night player in selected games. He works his bag off and how he gets used isn't up to him.
As for Potulny, he's done everything the Oilers could expect of him on lousy AHL team and deserves a look under the circumstances.
Step back and separate your frustration with the way this team has underachieved from your assessments of players who can't be blamed for how disappointing this season has been. Otherwise, this becomes HF, and that just isn't happening.

Neither are quality top 6 forwards I'll save you the reading of a detailed explanation and can assure you that both Penner and Horcoff are on pace for seasons that would put them in the top 6 of the vast majority of the league.
Horcoff is 84th in overall scoring carried by Hemsky. Penner is 196th, and that is sadly an aided total. Wishing they are top 6 on any team in the league doesn't make it so, the fact is they are only top 6 on our team.
Now to avoid a stat laiden explaination of top 6 versus top 3, both are playing top 3 here, neither are producion top 3. Only Horcoff is producing anything resembling a 2nd line total, and that's only with Hemsky around and he getting excessive ice time.
I mean Horcoff is 9th in avg. TOI among forwards. 9th! 40th in PP time, 39th in points - thanks Hemmer (Penner 190th). 54th in ES time, 132nd for points in the league (Penner 144th).
Yeah, they are really top 6 forwards in the league...

@ Jack Bauer: I've got no indication he's fallen out of favour, but the immediate call-up would be for a guy to replace Stortini. Schremp doesn't fit with that. Unless Nilsson can't play or Gagner's ankle gets bad enough to keep him out, I don't see Schremp being the guy who gets the chance.
Well after listening to Mactavish's presser today, I think its 100% RS has fallen well out of favor with Mactavish and the coaching staff. So there is your indication RB.
January 11 2009, 06:54PM
@ RobinB: It wasn't intended a swipe at these guys, rather at the org for coming up with the idea that these two guys should play in the same game, and frustration with the fact that the only solution is to bring up a guy no one has ever heard of.
Well put, though on making the comment post-Stortini injury. Poor timing on my part.

Hey Jay, I am no Willis but here is some math for you.
30 Teams X 6 Top Forwards = 180 Top 6 Forwards in the league.
That puts Horc middle of the pack as being a top six and Penner a little out of the mix. Don't forget people outside teams top 6 forwards score too. Careful how you manpulate numbers...
I think you are trying to say Horc and Penner aren't world beaters, ya, you're right; but there are only so many Ovy's, Hossa's, Heatly's, Crosby's etc to go around.

Yep, Horcoff and Penner play on the second line here? Or first? Now look at the top 90 scorers and tell me how many centers are in there a head of Horcoff.
Yeah there aren't many Ov's or Sid's around. Typical cool aid drinker, we're good enough then. A non contending team looking for a 7-10 finish. Yeah that's good enough. Don't lower you standards, clearly they are low enough.

Pope Benedict has blessed a huge crowd from his window overlooking for the first time since announcing his resignation. Rome's mayor says more than 100,000 people crowded St. Peter's Square today. (Feb. 17) AP
As the Vatican tries to determine whether it can legally speed up the process for choosing Pope Benedict's successor, at least one Vatican expert says that's a bad idea.
Massive crowds jammed St. Peter's Square on Sunday morning for one of the last public appearances of Pope Benedict XVI.
The 85-year-old pontiff blessed tens of thousands of pilgrims and Romans. They cheered as he asked for their prayers and thanked them for their "affection and spiritual closeness."
Sunday night he'll begin a Lenten retreat, leaving behind a world of speculation, rumors and conspiracy theories of why he has really resigned and who will replace him next month.
The Vatican's vague announcements feed the fire. The latest was spokesman Rev. Frederico Lombardi's comments Friday that they were examining whether they can legally speed up the election for Benedict's successor.
Current church law is clear that a conclave is to be held no earlier than 15 days after the papacy is vacated. So a change would require finding a loophole in the densely woven canon laws on conclaves — or getting a dispensation. Then it would be a frantic push to racewalk a new pontiff up the nave of St. Peter's for his installation so he'd be in place for Palm Sunday, March 24.
Bad idea, says political scientist and Vatican expert Rev. Thomas Reese. Among his reasons rushing "would be a mistake," Reese says:
• "Church law should not be changed on a whim. Only the pope can change the rules; once he resigns, no one can change the rules."
• "If the pope does change the rules before he resigns, which he can, the media will immediately be filled with conspiracy theories opining how this favors one candidate over another. The church does not need this."
• Since the cardinals are scattered around the world, a short time period to the election tilts the deck in favor of those who are based in Rome, in the curia, the massive medieval bureaucracy of the church, who are "operating on their home turf. They are the ones who know all of the other cardinals because they all visit Rome."
Already, one of the papabile (Italian for people considered potential successors), Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, has a showcase for speaking to his brethren. He will give the homily and set the itinerary for prayers during the weeklong retreat for the pope and the curia, and the Vatican-affiliated paper, L'Osservatore Romano, will publish his comments.
The paper also says, Ravasi "is expected to speak about Joseph Ratzinger's possible future role" as in the life of prayer that Benedict has said he will lead after he steps down from the throne of St. Peter.
When Pope John Paul II died in 2005, it was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, then dean of the College of Cardinals and head of the powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who delivered key addresses during the funeral and the days leading to the conclave. When it was over, he was Pope Benedict XVI, vicar of Christ and bishop of Rome.
After 8 p.m. on Feb. 28, he will most likely be known as Joseph Ratzinger, bishop emeritus of Rome. After a respite at Castel Gondolfo, the pope's summer home, he will live as he has chosen, hidden away in a monastery in the Vatican gardens.
On Sunday at St. Peter's Square, a tourist from Wales, Amy Champion, told the Associated Press, "We wanted to wish him well. It takes a lot of guts to take the job and even more guts ... to quit."

Roses have symbolized love and beauty for thousands of years. Today, more than 15,000 different types of rose species and varieties are cultivated worldwide. And roses are surprisingly adaptable; you can find them growing in almost every country in the world. Follow these steps to add the unique romance and beauty of roses to your garden.
Roses come in a variety of forms, from miniature to climbing. They're grown for their attractive and often fragrant flowers, which bloom mainly in early summer and fall. Whichever variety you choose, roses grow best in rich soils amended with compost or garden soil, like Miracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Roses. In many cases, you'll have an easier time growing roses in raised planters or bermed beds - sloped beds that tend to be isolated from the rest of your landscape so soil quality can be managed and maintained.
Roses love water, but don't drown them. They don't like to sit in water, and they'll die if the soil is too wet in winter. The ideal soil is rich and loose, with good drainage. Soak the entire root zone at least twice a week in dry summer weather. Avoid frequent shallow sprinklings, which won't reach the deeper roots. And avoid watering the leaves, to help prevent fungal problems.
To help conserve water, reduce stress and encourage healthy growth, apply a 3-inch layer of mulch around your roses, keeping it at least 3 inches away from the base of the stem. Roses are also hungry and like to be fed. Specially formulated rose food, such as Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble Rose Plant Food will encourage robust growth and beautiful blooms.
Roses have a reputation for being prone to disease and insects. Many of the most common diseases are less prevalent in the Southwest because of the lower humidity in the region. Occasionally, aphids and cane borers can affect the plants, so be on the lookout. And don't forget your deer friends - roses are a delectable tidbit, so try planting lavender adjacent to them. Not only will you have the makings of a nice potpourri, but the scent of lavender will discourage browsers. You can also spread human or dog hair around the garden area.
Roses must be pruned to keep them looking their best. Prune to remove dead, diseased or damaged wood, which might harbor insects and disease. Pruning is also helpful to keep large roses under control. Learn more in the article "How to Prune a Shrub Rose."

Man dead in semi versus car crash northeast of Gill
July 12, 2014
A Greeley man was killed Tuesday in a car versus semi truck crash northeast of Gill.
Carlos Mejia, 29, died at the scene of a crash that happened about 11:50 a.m. Tuesday at Colo. 392 and Weld County Road 57, according to the Colorado State Patrol and the Weld County Coroner's Office.
CSP Sgt. Dennis Schenkenberger said a preliminary investigation of the crash indicated a Honda driven by one of Mejia's relatives was traveling east on Colo. 392 when the driver slowed to turn left onto Weld 57.
He said CSP's investigation indicates the driver of the semi, which was also traveling east on Colo. 392, failed to yield to the Honda and crashed into the back of it.
Information on others involved in the crash, including the name of the driver of the semi, was not made available Tuesday.
Colo. 392 was closed for nearly three hours Tuesday afternoon while the crash was investigated and debris was cleared from the roadway.
Mejia is the 19th person to die on Weld County roads this year. Through July 8 of last year, 15 people had died.
Tuesday's crash on Colo. 392 occurred about one mile from a triple-fatality crash in late June. That crash — in which two 22-year-olds from Greeley and an 18-year-old from Evans were killed — also involved a semi truck and a passenger car.
Steve Reams, public safety bureau chief for the Weld County Sheriff's Office, said added traffic on Colo. 392 has the sheriff's office looking at different ways to patrol the area.
He said an easy solution to the fatal accidents has been elusive.
"We're still trying to get our mind around these fatality crashes," Reams said. "There's been added traffic altogether on 392. We're seeing a lot of oil field traffic. But in previous crashes, the problem has been drivers who miss a stop sign or don't realize these are high-speed roads. Most of these crashes aren't speed-related; it's a traffic control device."
Colo. 392 is a state highway and is therefore predominately patrolled by the state patrol.
"We can't dedicate someone to sit out there 24/7 to do traffic enforcement," Reams said. "But these crashes are tough on us, too. Nobody likes to work fatality crashes. We're trying to figure out the best solution. We just don't know it yet."
Schenkenberger said troopers feel equally constrained when it comes to monitoring the increasing traffic on Colo. 392.
"We try to patrol out there when we can," Schenkenberger said, "but it's a large geographical area. We try to put people where the accidents are happening and, if you just look at the sheer number of injury and DUI crashes, the majority of them happen on I-25 and U.S. 85."
That doesn't mean Colo. 392 and other more rural highways in the county aren't a priority for CSP, Schenkenberger said. In fact, he said the booming oil and gas industry has led the agency to view those areas as a growing priority.
"It's not just the actual rigs being drilled or the trucks carrying the oil," Schenkenberger said. "You have every guy who works out there coming and going from hotels in Cheyenne or Greeley. There's just more traffic than was designed for these roads 40 or 50 years ago."
Schenkenberger said CSP is planning to make the areas where oil and gas activity is growing a focus in the coming year, and it won't be only troopers who will be involved in the process.
"We're going to work with our partners to address these issues, including county and community officials," he said. "We've already had preliminary discussions with our hazmat crews and commercial vehicle guys."
The feeling at the sheriff's office that something must be done quickly to react to the apparent spike in traffic fatalities is shared by state patrol, Schenkenberger said.
"Any time there's a fatal crash, it's obviously horrible," he said. "Any time we see a little bump (in the number of traffic deaths), we know we need to get a handle on it."

Orton, Bills believe backup will be up to speed for Week 1
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 1 2014 3:17PM
Just moments before the initial 53-man roster was due into the National Football League offices, the Buffalo Bills announced the signing of quarterback Kyle Orton. The move paved the way for the Bills to release second-year quarterback Jeff Tuel and to entrust Orton with all the responsibilities of being EJ Manuel's backup.
The big question, though, is will he be ready to step in at a moment's notice? Both he and Buffalo head coach Doug Marrone seem to think so.
"This week, and I think I'll be ready to go. I've really put a lot of work in the last 48-72 hours mentally," Orton said. "Physically it went really good today and I'll be ready to go on Sunday."
"I think you'd be surprised of what he can do, and I think we'll just go work during the week and just see how much he feels comfortable with handling," Marrone remarked. "Probably more than what most people think because of his experience."
It's not the first rodeo for Orton in having to get ready in a short amount of time. He was waived by the Denver Broncos in the second half of the 2011 season, only to be claimed by the Kansas City Chiefs on November 24.
Less than a month later — December 18, 2011 to be exact — Orton made his first start for the Chiefs.
The Bills are certainly hoping Orton won't have to step into action nearly that quickly, given the belief that they've placed in Manuel, their second-year starter. It does give them the comfortability that if Manuel does get injured, they now have a competent backup with plenty of starting experience on their roster.
Orton has a total of 70 starts in the NFL, a whopping 64 more than the three men that vied for the backup job behind Manuel all summer long. With Tuel, Thad Lewis and Dennis Dixon now off the active roster, it's all on the former Bears, Broncos and Chiefs starter to take over in case of injury or otherwise.
"Kyle is much better for us," Marrone said of his current situation at backup quarterback. "Experienced veteran. He was what we were looking for and we were fortunate enough to get him."
Given his reported salary — $5 million for 2014 according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport — some will, and have, jumped to the conclusion that the signing puts Manuel on alert in case he struggles. While it's on the minds of some, it's not being considered by one of the newest Bills.
"My role on the team is a backup and to be ready to play whenever I need to be, but, probably job number one is to help EJ, and that's what I plan to do," Orton said.
The Bills have three more days of practice for the week and will then take on the Chicago Bears for the first game of the regular season on Sunday.

- The Honda Indy Toronto, 12th and 13th rounds of the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series, will be the second "doubleheader" race weekend of the season. Honda dominated the first doubleheader weekend last month in Detroit, winning both races in the Motor City.
- On Saturday, June 1st in Detroit, Mike Conway won for Dale Coyne Racing, with teammate Justin Wilson third and Scott Dixon fourth for Honda. Simon Pagenaud led a Honda 1-5 sweep of the top finishing positions on Sunday, June 2nd for Honda's 199th Indy car victory.
- Last weekend at the 2.5-mile Pocono Raceway oval, Dixon scored Honda's 200th victory in Indy car racing. The race was another dominant result for Honda, with Dixon's Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Charlie Kimball and Dario Franchitti second and third, respectively. In addition, Josef Newgarden finished fifth for Honda, a career best for the second-year Indy car racer, followed by Pagenaud and Wilson.
- Honda's 200 Indy car victories include 101 race wins in seasons with manufacturer competition, as well as 99 victories in the six-year period (2006-2011) when Honda supplied engines to the full IndyCar Series field.
- Honda-powered drivers have won four times this season, including three podium sweeps of the top-three finishing positions, and 13 podium finishes in 11 races this season.
- Honda's first 2013 race victory was recorded at Long Beach by Takuma Sato of A.J. Foyt Racing. Honda drivers finished 1-4 (Sato, Graham Rahal, Justin Wilson and Dario Franchitti).
- On his "off" weekend prior to Pocono, Pagenaud drove a race-prepared Honda Odyssey to second in the Exhibition Category at the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, part of a record 11-vehicle Honda effort taking part in the annual "Race to the Clouds". Built by Honda associates at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, the Odyssey features a turbocharged, intercooled V6 engine producing more than 500 hp, a full roll cage and race-tuned suspension and brakes.
- The Honda Indy Toronto is one of the oldest street-circuit events in Indy car racing, having been run for the first time in 1986 as a Championship Auto Racing Teams event and being preceded only by the Grand Prix of Long Beach, which became a CART race three years earlier.
- Honda has served as the title sponsor of the Toronto event since it returned to the IZOD IndyCar Series schedule in 2009.

|In response to Re: A "Head to Head" Comparison - Toto Drake vs. Kohler Wellworth.
: History: We recently purchased a new house and were having a terrible time with all the toilets in the house continually stopping up - two were 3gallon/flush Mansfield toilets from the mid 80s...pure junk. Anyways, I used this website extensively for researching toilets. We ended up purchasing two Kohler 1.6 gpf Wellworth (due to cheap price and readily available in white locally) and one Toto Drake in Almond for our Master bathroom that gets the "heaviest" use.
: Performance Summary: The Toto clearly produces a much stronger flush than the Kohler but both toilets perform quite satisfactorily. We have not had a single incident of a plugged toilet with any of these toilets (over a 2 month period). With the previous toilets, we were probably averaging at least 2 blocked toilets a week (yeah, we are hard on toilets). The bowls stay much cleaner than the previous toilets. The Toto clearly has the superior flush - it is hard to believe this is a gravity flush toilet. You can hear it flush on another floor - the rush of water through the pipe actually generates a strong "rushing" woosh. I keep joking that we better keep the dogs and child away from this toilet or it might flush one of them. The flush strength on this toilet is very impressive. That said, we have had no problems with the flush on the Kohlers. While they don't seem to generate the same rapid woosh, they have had no blockages and I don't believe we have ever had any need to flush a second time to clear the bowl.
: One obvious performance comparison (in terms of flush) is that the Kohler have the traditional toilet flush where tank water rushes into the bowl, the water starts to swirl, and then goes down the drain. The Toto is completely different - it just appears to go down immediately in 1 big rush with little or no rotational flow. While I am sure the mechanism is much the same, the bigger flush valve generates a much quicker flush. It is surprising it clears the bowl as well as it does.
: Installation:
: Price: We only had 1 local shop that sells Toto's and they are not open on weekends (making it inconvenient to get there). I ended up searching the web for the best deal I could find. I think the Almond Toto at around $250 with shipping worked out about the same as purchasing an Almond Kohler (maybe $20-30 more at most) so it is definitely worth it for special order colors. The white Toto was going to cost about $200 which is quite a bit more than the $110 that the Kohler are at the local hardware. That makes it a tougher choice for me but if you have the extra cash and want to throw away your plunger permanantly, the Toto may be a good bet.
: I'm perfectly happy with both the Toto Drake and the Kohlher Wellworth. I am amazed how much better these are the than mid-1980s toilets I have had in the past 2 houses (even though these consume far less water).
: Happy flushing.
: Paul
review: Good effort Paul, After reading and absorbing that report I was moved and drained. I have a pair of noname 1.6rs I would like to permanently unplug with a stump charge of dynamite. TJ

|In response to Re: American Standard Smart Valve 2000 problems
: I am having problems with the water fill timing on my toilet. It uses a Smart Valve 2000 fill valve, and it won't shut off when the water level reaches the top of the tank. Once the toilet is flushed, it will run (and the water will fun into the overflow tube) for about 2 or 3 minutes, and then it will (finally) shut off. Is there any way to adjust these "smart" valves or has it just gone bad? Thanks in advance for the help
These were one of Amer Stds worst products. I would take these out of brand new toilets and throw them away. Then install a Fluidmaster 400A.

WASHINGTON — When it comes to dealing with the sticky issue of race in America, President Obama has found that leading from behind might not be such a bad idea.
He was pilloried by critics on the right early in his presidency when he said a Cambridge, Mass., police officer "acted stupidly" when he arrested the black Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. as he struggled to open the door of his home in a predominantly white neighborhood.
And Obama raised eyebrows, when he remarked after Trayvon Martin's death last year that "if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
So, it's no surprise that he took a cautious approach as he weighed in for the first time since a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty in the death of Trayvon.
STORY: Obama: Trayvon 'could have been me'
In a surprise appearance before reporters six days after the verdict, Obama spoke eloquently about Trayvon's family showing grace in the aftermath of the verdict, and he reiterated his understanding of the pain the African-American community feels over the outcome of the trial and the larger problem of racial profiling.
And Obama again connected himself directly to the teenager when he observed that he could have been Trayvon 35 years ago.
But the president, despite the historic nature of his presidency, also made clear that he's not the best person to be leading a difficult conversation about race.
Instead, he argued that the larger discussion of race belongs not with lawmakers in Washington but in living rooms, houses of worship and workplaces.
In such settings, Obama posited, "There's the possibility that people are a little bit more honest, and at least you ask yourself your own questions about, am I wringing as much bias out of myself as I can?"
The president rightfully noted that as a nation we've made progress in our dialogue on race. But, as he also made clear, we're hardly in a post-racial era.
Obama, who has long contended with a portion of America's views about his "other-ness," seems to have realized that a president – even an African-American one – can sometimes serve the public dialogue on race best by merely participating in the conversation rather than directing it.
President Obama made a statement about the George Zimmerman trial verdict saying that he could have been Trayvon Martin 35 years ago. He said that the country needs to stop racial disparities. VPC

Harlequins finished the Heineken Cup pool stages unbeaten thanks to a 16-9 win over Biarritz in horrendous conditions on Friday.
Harlequins finished the Heineken Cup pool stages unbeaten thanks to a 16-9 win over Biarritz in horrendous conditions at Parc des Sports Aguiléra on Friday.
In driving rain and on a sodden pitch, Quins became only the second team to win in Biarritz in the Heineken Cup in 12 years and the first since Cardiff in 2008.
The result leaves the English champions on 27 pool points and provisionally the top seeds going into the quarter-finals.
For Biarritz, a losing bonus point might not even be enough for them to have a chance of defending their Challenge Cup title.
Harlequins led 10-3 at half time thanks to a try from back-row Tom Guest and a handful of second-half penalties from Nick Evans proved enough for victory.
Biarritz looked sure to score first with a powerful driving maul early on, only to see Olly Kohn rip possession away within touching distance of the whitewash.
Dimitri Yachvili did eventually open the scoring from the kicking tee but Evans replied to leave the scores locked at 3-3 until the half-hour mark.
Guest put the visitors in front with the first try of the night when he took a line-out and found no one in his was way when he came down to earth. The number eight bolted to the line to score an unlikely try to which Evans added the easy extras.
A dust-up between Wenceslas Lauret and Joe Marler ended with both the Biarritz flank and the Quins prop seeing yellow, but it made no difference to the domination enjoyed by the English club's scrum.
Yachvili reduced the gap to a single point early in the second half with two penalties but Evans answered will a fantastic long-range effort to leave the scores at 13-9 going into the final quarter.
Yachvili sent his next attempt wide but Evans made no mistake with his third penalty to restore the seven-point lead as time ran out.

For Biarritz:
Pens: Yachvili 3
Yellow card: Lauret

As a boy Constable often passed by this cottage, at the end of Fen Lane, when he walked down the lane on his way to school at Dedham. The cottage belonged to Peter Godfrey of Old Hall, East Bergholt, and one of his workmen probably lived in it. It had been demolished by 1885 (St John 2002, p. 29).
Constable made two versions of this subject, the first painted largely outdoors in the vicinity of East Bergholtduring the summer of 1815 and completed in 1833(Victoria and Albert Museum, London), and this second version painted in his studio in London towards the end of 1816 or the beginning of 1817. He made a number of changes to the image, showing the scene at high summer with the field full of ripe corn, changing the quality of the light, adding the figure beside the cottage on the left, and the donkey and foal standing to the right of the gate. He probably relied on the drawing he had made of this subject around 1815 . As Ian Fleming-Williams and Leslie Parris have shown, the most marked difference between the painting of 1815/1833and this work is the way in which Constable painted the trees on the right. In this painting he appears to have based his trees on those in Martino Rota's engraving after Titian's Martyrdom of St Peter Martyr (destroyed), a work Constable greatly admired (Fleming-Williams and Parris 1984, pp. 138–41). Thus, even during a period when he was working close to nature, Constable combined different elements in his paintings in order to improve his composition.
In his biography of Constable, Andrew Shirley perceptively remarked that it was 'a picture compact with the true sentiment of observation, playing the contrast of the remoteness of human habitation against the thick, ripening, jungle life of the corn surging up to the walls of the cottage' (Shirley 1949, p. 105).

The Second Half By The Numbers
Thursday evening the Royals open up the second half of the season at Minnesota. Let's take a somewhat light-hearted look at some numbers for the remainder of the season.
The Royals play 36 games against teams with winning records and 35 against those with losing records. Forty-one games are on the road and just 30 are at home. Only 18 of those road games, however, are against teams with winning records.
In a nutshell, the Royals play a lot of games on the road, but it is not a particularly daunting road schedule. Is it conceivable that this team, which will probably only be marginally effected by the trading deadline, could play close to .500 ball in the second half? Something on the order of 34-37, maybe?
With the current rotation, it seems unlikely, but should Eric Hosmer continue to improve and with Mike Moustakas seemingly having nowhere to go but up, the Royals could continue to improve on what is already an improved offensive team. Not a lot of championship teams are built by playing 7-6 games every night, but high scoring games often leave the decision making up to the bullpens and there, the Royals generally can stand toe to toe with anyone.
Perhaps the better question is: if the Royals win 34 games or more the rest of the way, would that get you excited about the team's chances in 2012?
Assuming the Royals stick with both the six man rotation and their plan to recall Danny Duffy after he makes one AAA start, Duffy is scheduled to make 11 more starts in 2011. The remaining five members of the rotation are slated to start 12 times.
- How many of those 11 starts does Duffy actually end up making? (My answer is 8)
- How many of the remaining 5 starters make all 12 scheduled starts? (My answer is two – Hochever & Paulino)
- How many of the six are still on the team at the end of July? (My answer is five. I think Francis is traded)
- Kyle Davies will or will not get his ERA under seven by year's end? (Yes and Dayton Moore will call it a 'very optimistic sign')
- Luke Hochevar will or will not keep his ERA from going over 5.50 by year's end. (No)
- Mike Montgomery will start how many major league games in 2011? (I think 3)
Factoring in a couple of days off, a regular position player will likely garner an additional 265 plate appearances this season.
- The over/under on Mitch Maier's plate appearances the rest of the way is 30. I feel bad for Mitch in that he is, by all accounts a quality teammate and serviceable fourth outfielder. On the flipside, he did have a chance over the past few years to make a real impression on management and did not. Maier did not flame out like Kila Ka'aihue (although it's worth noting that Mitch also got about 400 more at-bats, too), but did nothing to make the Royals think they wanted to put him in an outfield spot everyday, either.
- What's the likelihood of either Lorenzo Cain or Johnny Giavotella getting even half that many plate appearances in 2011? My guess is virtually zero for Johnny as the Royals love Chris Getz and his average defense and nominal ability to work a count – although I have to pause here and say that I think Getz has been a little better all around as of late. Cain, who Dayton Moore referenced on WHB as being part of the team in the 'next couple of years' would also seem to be destined to spending the entire summer in Omaha, unless Moore pulls off a a Francouer/Cabrera trade.
- 265 plate appearances times nine positions, discounting days off, equals a team total of around 2,500 the rest of way. Ned Yost will pinch hit more or less than 10 times during those 2,500 plate appearances? I'm not saying that it is good or bad, but just kind of something to fun to watch.
In the days leading up to the July 31st trade deadline, the Royals play three games at home against Tampa, four road games in Boston and three more on the road at Cleveland.
With trade rumors likely to be swirling, this could be a rather dismal stretch for Royals' fans. After this string of games and through the end of the year, the number of football games (pro & college, regular and pre-season) you watch will or will not outnumber the number of Royals' games you watch?
Over his career, Billy Butler has hit a home run every 51 plate appearances prior to the All-Star Break, but sent one out of the park every 34 plate appearances after the All-Star Break.
That puts the over/under on Billy's second half home runs at eight. You taking the over or the under? How many would Billy need to hit to quiet the majority of his critics?
Alex Gordon and Melky Cabrera are probably the two most pleasant surprises in the first half of the season. By the end of the year which of the following will be true:
- Alex Gordon will still be the most production leftfielder in the American League or Alex Gordon will more resemble the .260/.351/.432 player of 2008
- Melky Cabrera will lead the Royals in plate appearances or will be wearing a different uniform.
Mike Aviles has 10 steals and just 9 walks. Several other Royals have a real shot at having more steals than walks at year's end.
Chris Getz has 17 steals and 25 walks. Alcides Escobar 14 and 17, while Jeff Francouer has 15 and 20. Will any of the three manage this possibly dubious feat? Will we ever see Mike Aviles in Kansas City again?
Okay, there's a little fun to get the second half started. Of course, the real fun will be watching Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas hit, Alcides Escobar field, Danny Duffy pitch and Alex Gordon dominate. Feels good to say that last bit without any sarcasm, doesn't it?

Saddle Up safely is a rider safety awareness program sponsored by UK HealthCare, UK College of Agriculture and many community organizations.
It is important to Saddle Up Safely.
Every year, millions of Americans participate in horseback riding activities. Horseback riding is a popular activity for people of all ages but it has a high risk of injury. All too often, riding injuries occur due to lack of education or understanding of equine behavior and proper riding practices. In fact, a current study shows that half of equine-related injury patients believe their injuries were preventable and due to rider error.
Through Saddle Up Safely, UK HealthCare seeks to educate current and future riders about the simple steps that can be taken to prevent accidents. Horseback riding is an extremely rewarding and thrilling sport, but it should be safe as well. Through Saddle Up Safely and UK HealthCare, we hope to make a great sport safer and more enjoyable for all riders and equine enthusiasts.
