IDF's newest Blue Circle Champion is professional IndyCar racer, Charlie Kimball.
Kimball began racing go-karts at age 9. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2007 and was forced to abandon his racing program mid-season. Kimball returned to the cockpit the following year and claimed a podium finish in his first race back in the car.
Kimball continues to compete in one of the most competitive racing categories in the world, proving that living with diabetes does not have to restrict him from traveling at speeds of more than 200 miles an hour and fulfilling his dream.
Today Kimball drives the No. 83 car for Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing in the IZOD IndyCar Series and is the first licensed driver with diabetes in the history of IndyCar.
Charlie joins other IDF Blue Circle Champions including Wasim Akram, Phil Southerland and Charles Mattocks.

Firemark's Bridgerland Wildfire JH (2-Sr Hunter Passes) Master Next Spring
Contact-Pictures-Details-Video: www.windmillfarmsgg.net
First and foremost, I'm an upland game hunter. We hunt the thick stuff as well as the steep mountain terrain. Chest high bullrush, cattails and western mountain maples. Its where the rubber hits the road for us and I need good dogs. While we dabble in HT or FT a little, our dogs are hunted extensively and used as client dogs. Mainly pheasant, mountain chukar and grouse. To say Bridger loves to hunt, is a severe understatement. He's passionate and very,very good at it. He's not just a good line mark retriever. He understands naturally what hunting is and how to effectively hunt. His prey drive is very,very high, he's caught a flushed rooster right out of the air and he has already produced 2 very nice avalanche SAR pups. Park City Utah & Lake Tahoe CA. 60% of his first litter tested at least GOOD+ to very HIGH 6 & 8 week SAR testing procedures. He's passing on the prey drive which is critical to hunters and SAR alike. A spot on marker, he runs the hunting line really well, a retrieving machine and at 68 lbs he's tireless speed. His flashy dark coat is tight, with a little wave which sheds the brush. Named after Jim Bridger, a Mountain Man, who was among the foremost trappers, scouts and guides the western United States has encountered. We live in the heart of Bridgerland, Cache Valley, Utah.

Search for escapees became nationwide manhunt
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. -- A manhunt for two escaped inmates that started in Jackson County last week ended in Florida Wednesday morning.
James Newman and James Misleveck were arrested in Hollywood, Fla., near Miami, a week after walking away from Black River Correctional Center.
They were arrested around 3:30 Wednesday morning, still driving the same car police said they stole from Monroe County after their escape.
"Security officers for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino notified us that there was a suspicious vehicle in the south parking lot of the Hollywood Hard Rock Hotel," said Seminole Police Lt. Dave Carry.
That car belonged to Tomah resident James Shepherd. Police said his 1996 Chrysler Concord was stolen by two escaped inmates last week.
"Since they made it to Florida, I'm assuming that the car's not in too bad of condition. I just hope I get it back with a full tank of gas. That would be nice," said Shepherd.
The car's condition is unknown, but Newman's condition isn't looking so good. He limped his way out of the hospital and into a cop car after being bitten by a police K-9.
Misleveck, was found in Hollywood, Fla. resident Christopher Williams' back yard.15710318
"He hit the fence. My mother-in-law's room is right there. My room is behind hers, and I heard it. And it scared her," said Williams.
In Wisconsin, Jackson County Sheriff Duane Waldera said even if it wasn't his department that finally caught the escapees, he's just glad they're behind bars once again.
"Putting these people in custody is a great accomplishment in such a short time. And people might comment that we should have got them that day, sure. Nobody wants to lose -- we should have gotten them that day, yes. But things happen. There are variables. We didn't. But they're now in custody and I guess that's the best thing for public safety, to put these people back behind bars," said Waldera.
So what happens to the fugitives now? Now that they've criss-crossed the country, they're going to have to answer to the criminal justice systems in all of the states where crimes were committed.
They will eventually return to Jackson County, but the sheriff doesn't know how long that will take.
There is no word on why the two traveled to Florida or whether local law enforcement had any idea they were there.
Newman and Misleveck had just a short time left on their sentences, but now that their felonies span multiple states, the Jackson County sheriff said they could be looking at one or more decades of prison time.

Steelheadfred, with your PM function off, it is kind of hard to give you some ideas on those yellow studs you were asking about Some smaller ones off the top of my head are: FC AFC HRCH Downtown Dusty Brown MH NDC - frozen avail. , GMPR Texas Pointing Labs Nitro MH- very nice FT pedigree, FC Fish River's Out Of The Park (my female by him is VERY nice and about 48lbs). Anyway, there's a start! Good luck on your search!

As someone who didn't watch any reality series regularly (with the exception of "Millionaire") I am hopelessly devoted to this show on NBC.
Basically, a contingent of young men and women from different business backgrounds, divide into two teams and compete against each other in various contests that involve wheeling and dealing, selling, profit, and more. The team that is successful gains immunity while the losing team has to face "The Don" (Donald Trump) in the boardroom where one of them gets fired.
I have a lot to spout off for and against this show, but I'll save much of it for later. Basically, I only see a few rising stars among the original pack of 14 (I believe that was the number) and Amy seems like the one who will win it all because she is the common denominator to whatever team that wins.
Most of the men suck, especially Nick, who has in my opinion, hung on only because of his personality. He is all bark and no bite and couldn't sell his way out of a paper bag.
Omarosa was a good talker and seller, but she brought out the worst in everyone, plus her excuses seemed lame so she got the axe last week.
Any predictions for next week or for the eventual winner?

Here's an interesting post from a friend of mine's blog.
Analysis, anyone?
"The Supreme Court, with that new "liberal wienie" Justice Sotomayer, today has agreed to hear a case concerning an issue I suspect most of you didn't even think existed: Does the Second Amendment's "Right to Bear Arms" apply to the states and local municipalities.
Stay with me here.
The Second Amendment says "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed"
But the problem is that when the Bill of Rights was first enacted, all the amendments applied to the federal government and not the States. No one disputes that, and the First Amendment, for example, even starts out with "Congress shall make no law . . . . " Let that sink in. In the beginning, the Constitution did not prevent a city, state, or county from preventing a citizen from speaking his mind, preventing a defendant from having a jury trial, or banning any newspaper. There might have been other laws enacted by the states that would provide that protection, but the Constitution didn't help out.
But after states and local governments began trampling on its citizens, the Supreme Court began considering whether the Bill of Rights could, in some form or fashion, be used to prevent states, cities, counties, and any public subdivision from committing civil rights violations. Here is where your head will spin: So began a series of cases using the "Incorporation Doctrine" which decided, on a right by right basis, whether that right "applied to the States through the enactment of the 14th Amendment." If you want to research that, go ahead. Basically, it says that the 14th Amendment sucks out some, if not all, of the first ten amendments and makes them applicable to the states. Call it mental gymnastics or judicial activism or just plain craziness, but you can't take a Con Law class without studying it.
But, like I said, the Court has previously made those decisions on a right by right basis (freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, right to counsel, etc.) But as of 2009, I think there are currently only two rights in the Bill of Rights that the Supreme Court has not decided whether they "apply to the States." The first one is the right to a Grand Jury indictment (which doesn't matter to Texas because Texas law requires that anyway) and the other is the Right to Bear Arms in the Second Amendment.
Yep, this Supreme Court is going to decide whether the Second Amendment prevents, for example, the State of Texas, the City of Decatur, or Wise County from enacting laws that would ban gun possession. (If the Second Amendment doesn't apply, that doesn't mean all guns are automatically banned. It just means that states and local governments are free to enact any law they want concerning the right to own or possess a gun.)
Think it's impossible for the Supreme Court to rule that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to all aspects of government? Justice Sotomayor and a the Second Circuit Federal Appeals Court have already done just that.
Annie, get your gun."

Teen Voice - 12/09/2012
updated: Dec 08, 2012, 1:00 PM
By Kelsey Abkin
There isn't much to it. You take a picture, pick one of the 18 effects, and upload it. But soon your
picture has an audience and feedback in the form of "likes". Soon, so much of what you see becomes a
potential Instagram picture, whether it be nature, friends, or the classic "hipster" morning coffee
picture. Instagram has become one more of the trivial things us teenagers just can't get enough of.
We know there's nothing educational about it, nothing that will benefit us, yet we allow ourselves to be
hooked. I guess it's one of those things teenagers engage mindlessly in for hours just to take a break.
Or perhaps it's the artsy feel you get when an otherwise normal picture takes on the feel of a 1970's
polaroid with the click of an effect button. It seems every teenager goes through a period where they
want to be a photographer and Instagram gives them the chance. Finally, it creates a superficial yet
bittersweet nostalgia. It's an immediate way to capture a moment. Yes, we know cameras have this
same ability, however, the appeal of Instagram is that this photo can be shared instantly. Within
seconds, friends can engage and appreciate the experience you just captured. Not only is it attraction in
immediacy, but in organization as well. Looking through your own photos, all done up with cracked,
glimmery, dusty, over-exposed, under-exposed and all around vintage look, one gets a sense of
wistfulness. As cheesy as it sounds, it's like your looking at your childhood as though it's a past time.
I don't completely understand why these things, these technological tidbits are so alluring but there's
no doubt that they are. Instagram seems to be the present teenage addiction.

If you are looking to buy a full breed dog, contact the Irish Kennel Club for a list of responsible registered breeders. http://www.ikc.ie
Be wary of classified ads on the internet and in newspapers especially those from breeders with multiple breeds for sale. Try to avoid buying from pet shops as you will have no idea of the history of the puppy.
Never buy a dog without seeing the premises where the mother and puppies are kept. Always ask to see the mother and if possible the father. Responsible breeders keep the mother and puppies well cared for so they should have nothing to hide.
Don't agree to meet at car parks, pubs etc or if they offer to deliver the pup to your home as this is common way for puppy farmers to avoid you seeing the conditions the pups have been breed in.
The breeder should want to know about you as well as they will want to ensure their puppies are going to be well cared for, if they don't be wary. The IKC requires their members to ensure that their dogs are going to good homes and the buyer is aware of what it takes to look and care for a dog.
Kennel club registered puppies must have veterinary & kennel club papers, vaccination charts and be microchipped and registered on the IKC microchip database. A good breeder will want their dogs registered so be wary of breeders who offer to give you the dog without their papers for a cheaper price.
You should be provided with veterinary papers and vaccinations and flea & worming information from the puppy's vet.
Don't take vaccines from the breeder. Bring your puppy to your own vet for this type of medicines.
You should be provided with details on feeding, vaccinations, worming, care etc. and they should offer an aftercare service.
Don't buy any puppy because you feel sorry for it.
Try and keep as many details as possible, phone number, car registrations, addresses etc.
If you are in any doubt about the validity of a breeder, the condition of the animal or see any suspicious advertisements, contact the local SPCA as soon as possible.

There are no good solutions to the mess in Syria, writes James Traub, a fellow of the Center on International Cooperation.
Are you okay with where you're at on Syria? I know that I'm not. A senior State Department official told me that the Obama administration isn't either. Almost everyone I've spoken to about Syria in the last few days has thrown up their hands and said, "There's no good solution." It may be that the only people who are comfortable with their position are the cynics in Russia and China who are prepared to let Syrian President Bashar al-Assad grind the opposition to powder, and Senator John McCain, who wants NATO to take out Damascus.
It's so much easier to say what won't work in Syria than what will. The Libya intervention-style air campaign that McCain advocates is a bad idea for reasons which a great many people, myself included, have enumerated. In any case, it's not going to happen, because no one who could do it -- the United States, Europe, even Turkey or the Gulf states -- has any appetite for a second Libya. If you haven't heard a syllable recently out of Samantha Power, the chief advocate in the White House for humanitarian intervention, it's probably because such an intervention is simply not in the cards.
But what is in the cards? Diplomacy? Many of us who favored intervention in Libya, but not Syria, have hoped that diplomatic pressure might tip the scales inside Syria and force Assad to step down. The Obama administration backed a U.N. Security Council resolution which would have compelled Assad to step down, transferring power to an interim regime and initiating a political dialogue with all elements of Syrian society. Russia and China vetoed the resolution, though Damascus would almost certainly have shrugged off the demand in any case. Now the U.N. has backed a new diplomatic effort by former Secretary General Kofi Annan, and Assad has formally accepted the terms, which require him to impose a cease-fire and embrace an "inclusive, Syrian-led political process" to address the demands of the opposition. But Syrian security forces have continued firing on civilians in direct contradiction of the Annan plan's terms; it's clear by now that Assad will leave office only if he feels sure that the alternative is a bullet in his head. The real danger is that he will comply with the peace plan just enough to further divide the international community.

By Steve Hunt/Special to the Journal
GLENDALE, Ariz. – After seven seasons as a minor-league manager and pitching coach in the White Sox organization, former Mississippi State standout Bobby Thigpen will be back in the Windy City this season as Chicago's new bullpen coach.
Thigpen pitched for the White Sox between 1986 and 1993, including a 1990 season when he set a then big-league record with 57 saves, a mark that stood until 2008, and he was an American League All-Star in 1990. So after spending much of his career in Chicago, returning there only seems natural.
"Obviously I'm excited just to be back in the big leagues," he said. "It's a testament to Jerry Reinsdorf and the entire organization how loyal he is. A lot of our guys they come back. He [Reinsdorf] likes having our guys back."
Not only is the former MSU star returning to the same franchise he made his big-league debut with in August 1986 at Boston, but he's also working alongside former Sox teammate Robin Ventura, who is in his second season as Chicago's manager. Ventura led the Pale Hose to an 85-77 record last season as a rookie skipper.
"Robin's just an awesome individual. The guy is first class all the way. He doesn't B.S. You know where you stand. He's laid back but he's intense," Thigpen said. "I can't say enough good things about Robin."
Some might think his primary duty as bullpen coach is to answer the bullpen phone when it rings and to tell one of his relievers to start warming up. But as this ex-Bulldog attests, his job is a bit more complicated than that.
"Working with [Sox pitching coach] Don Cooper is going to be beneficial. Hopefully I can be beneficial to him," Thigpen said. "We talk every day. He's the pitching coach. I'm like a secondary pitching coach in the bullpen. I'm not just answering the phone. I'm actually having some input into what's going on."
And even though he's busy for the bulk of the year with baseball, when he can he still finds time to return to Starkville and maintain his ties to MSU. "I loved my two years there and I go back every so often," he said. "The town itself has really, really grown. It's amazing when I go back how much bigger the town looks, how much bigger the school looks. I love going back there and it will always be my second home."

Three generations gather each August to can dill pickles and have fun on the prairie
Location: Berlin, LaMoure County, North Dakota, 4 August 2012
Ancestral German villages: Kassel and Neudorf, Glueckstal District and Kloestitz, Bessarabia
Photographs by Carol Just, St. Louis Park, Minnesota
For roughly 15 years the children of Julius and Helen (Dockter) Just have gathered the first weekend of August to can dill pickles. Helen's recipe has been fine-tuned over the years and some years as many as 325 jars of dill pickles have been canned on the first saturday of August. On August 4, 2012 we all gathered at the farm that Julius and Helen purchased in 1944. They retired in 1969 and for the next 30 years their son, Myron, and daughter-in-law, Ruth, were at the helm of the Berlin Just Farm. Since then, their grandson, Christof, and wife, Kelli, have been stewards of the Berlin Just Farm.

Pharmaceutical industry, the discovery, development, and manufacture of drugs and medications (pharmaceuticals) by public and private organizations.
The modern era of the pharmaceutical industry—of isolation and purification of compounds, chemical synthesis, and computer-aided drug design—is considered to have begun in the 19th century, thousands of years after intuition and trial and error led humans to believe that plants, animals, and minerals contained medicinal properties. The unification of research in the 20th century in fields such as chemistry and physiology increased the understanding of basic drug-discovery processes. Identifying new drug targets, attaining regulatory approval from government agencies, and refining techniques in ... (100 of 13,966 words)

In all of history there has never been a conflict like it. In its extent of devastation, the war on the Eastern Front was singular; in Leningrad and the Crimea, in Kiev and Stalingrad, the Soviet Union was destroyed – over 25 million citizens died. In the end what did the German attackers have to show for it?
A broken country, which had lost much of its land, and a people burdened with the awareness that they had launched a racially supremacist war of destruction and also created the harrowing terror of the Holocaust. But during the attack there were so many people - and not simply Germans - who believed that the choice to invade the Soviet Union was a reasoned act in pursuit of German self-preservation and, on top of that, that this was a war the Germans would surely win.

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've read over the years that spills directly correlate with increased returns (statistically) and it's a big step in the right direction
The Chelan system is a real victory in designing a more effective passage for smolts and also an example of our willingness to do the right thing where dams have screwed up the runs.
To dream even more, there are European communities who have built artificial stream by-passes that provide excellent whitewater and angling sport opportunities. River branches in effect.
It's clear to see that barging is rooted in special interests and politically motivated. I hope we as a people can move strongly toward what's actually best for the fish rather than their own political or commercial interests, for the sake of the salmonids!
I just read this in today's newspaper too. The issue is not over yet though because the 9th circuit judges only ruled on the request for a temporary injunction to allow them to barge instead of spill until they hear the appeal later this year. The judges agree to have the appeal by the end of summer.
Call me a dreamer, I'd like to see a judge order the BPA, the other power producers, and Army Corp of Engineers install the "artificial stream" technology Chelan PUD is using in their dam that OC posted about. This would allow power to be produced and have a much higher survival of fish than either trucking/barging or spilling has had. Such a ruling would be a win for all parties involved.
Redden's Ruling Stands
Good evening,
The Federal Appeals Court upheld Judge James Redden's order for spills to continue over Snake and Columbia River dams. The appeal, brought by Federal Agencies, argued that spills could potentialy hurt, not help, juinile Salmon returning to the Pacific Ocean.
The NMFS ( National Marine Fisheries Service ) who are in charge of threatend species of Salmon, said that young salmon would be "Better off" being "Barged" or "Trucked" past the dams in question.
They obviously could not make their case stick.
Water is now being spilled over Lower Monumental, Little Goose, and the Lower Granite dams on the Snake River, and will begin July 1 at the Mc Nary dam on the Columbia River.
This is yet another step forward for the Endangered and Wild Salmon in the Columbia and Snake River systems
More later

By Bill O'Brian
Ron Cole and staff are on the verge of launching an audacious idea that would go a long way toward easing the perennial water problems of the oldest national wildlife refuge established for waterfowl.
Cole is the project leader at Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complex in southern Oregon and northeastern California. In cooperation with Michael Noonan, a local green energy entrepreneur/organic farmer/conservationist, Cole and staff are analyzing a plan to build a smallbutefficient geothermal steam power plant on the southern edge of Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge.
Proceeds from energy produced by the plant, which is awaiting completion of an environmental assessment and formal approval of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service leadership, would offset refuge power costs to move water for the benefit of wildlife, waterfowl in particular.
While putting such a facility on refuge land might seem incompatible with conservation, Cole explains that it will further the refuges mission and assures that the plant wont be built unless the conservation benefit to the refuge is clear. Further, he says, the refuge is rigorously following National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedure and conducting our environmental due diligence every step in the process.
Why It Is Necessary
Lower Klamath Refuge, which was established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, is 50,092 acres of intensively managed shallow marshes, open water, grassy uplands and croplands that provide feeding, resting, nesting and broodrearing habitat for waterfowl and other birds along the Pacific Flyway.
Water in the Klamath Basin has become a precious commodity, though, and obtaining it and moving it has become much more expensive in recent years for at least two reasons.
The first is that water distribution is overseen by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), which delivers it through canals that crisscross the huge twostate basin. But BORs Klamath Project has just one legislated purposeagriculture. As a result, Lower Klamath and other basin refuges get water only after BOR meets its legal obligations to, in order, endangered coho salmon and American suckers in the Klamath River, tribal trusts and 20 agricultural irrigation districts. Were last in line, says Cole. We get water through windows of surplus, what is left over after all legal obligations are satisfied.
So, the refuge complex must use what little water it gets efficiently. Which leads to the second issue. Since a 50year reducedrate agreement with Pacific Power expired in 2006, the cost of moving water to replenish wetlands at Lower Klamath Refuge and nearby Tule Lake Refuge has risen almost thirtyfoldfrom 33 cents per acrefoot to more than $9.
The geothermal steam plant would alleviate both problems.
How It Would Work
The geothermal plant would be built and operated by Noonans company, Entiv Organic Energy. The plant would extract hot water from an underground aquifer via one well, run the water through turbines to produce steam power, reinject the slightly cooler water back into the aquifer via a second well, and sell the power to a utility, probably Portland General Electric.
Ongoing revenue from sales would be paid to a refuge Friends group, which would use to the money to offset refuge power costs to move water aggressively for the benefit of wildlife.
The entire project came about largely by accident because, during a severe basinwide drought in 2001, Lower Klamath Refuge drilled three wells about 3,500 feet apart in search of cool ground water for wetland use. Instead, the wells led to an aquifer of water ranging from 150 to 210 degrees.
The project is feasible, financially and environmentally, because those wells exist. Financially, the major expense of well drilling already has been paid. Environmentally, refuge land near the wells already has been disturbed, so further disturbance will be minimal.
The project is feasible technologically because it will use new lowwatertemperature, highwatervolume technology developed by Technip, a multinational energy company with which Noonan and Entiv do business. Entiv plans to build at least two other similar plants on private land in the basin. Together, the plants will be the first in the United States using the new technology. There are currently three other plants in the world using itin Iceland, Germany and Japan.
Locally Driven Solution
Cole says the endeavor, which has the backing of the Klamath tribes, numerous conservation partners and Siskiyou County, California, could be operational by early 2014. If it is, he says, the plant will showcase geothermal technology for the refuge and the entire basin.
This is a locally driven solution to a persistent waterdistribution problem, says Noonan. I dont want to be a power company; I just want to offset costs of moving water on organic farmland and, as a friend of conservation, fold in the refuge.

By Special to the Daily Journal
TUPELO – Reed's Gum Tree Bookstore will host an in-store event to promote "Trials of the Earth" by Mary Mann Hamilton from noon until 1 p.m. Friday. Kerry Hamilton and Sheilah Hamilton Partin, the late author's great-grandchildren, will be on hand to sign and discuss the book.
Originally published by the University Press of Mississippi in 1993, this important work has long been out of print and existing copies have been much sought-after and costly.
John Evans at Lemuria Books in Jackson said he has lost literally thousands of dollars in sales while the book has been out of print, noting that people who own a copy hestitate to loan theirs out but recommend it and give it as gifts. It appeals to fans of Southern/Mississippi history, women's studies, culinary arts and even mystery … it really is quite a book.
Hamilton was born in 1867 and at age 18 married an upper-class Englishman who had migrated to the southern U.S. to seek fortune in the timber industry. The narrative begins in Arkansas in the early 1880s, where Hamilton quickly finds herself living in impermanent tents, make-shift homes and boarding houses not only raising (and also burying) children but also facing long periods of loneliness and toil as her husband was away on business – or drinking. At the same time she was also responsible for tending to the needs of and cooking for large numbers of lumberjacks working in the swamps of the Mississippi Delta.
southern pioneer woman
Hamilton's story is a rich yet simple narrative. The strength of her determination is echoed in the strength of her writing, which provides a unique glimpse into the life of a true Southern pioneer woman.
"Trials of the Earth" is more than just a fascinating memoir of one of, if not the first, white female settlers in the Mississippi Delta," said award-winning Mississippi author Martha Hall Foose. "And it's so much more than just an incredible story. It includes mystery and mysticism, triumph and failure, hope and despair. Throughout it all, Hamilton perseveres – while also cooking for over 100 hungry loggers at any given time. It is for certain an inspirational story."
This 20th anniversary edition not only celebrates the return of "Trials of the Earth" to the reading public but also Mary Mann Hamilton's heirs' efforts to return the ownership of the work back to the family (which, by the way, includes one of Mary's great-grandsons, former Mississippi Governor Ronnie Musgrove).
The original Postscript was penned by the late Mississippi author Ellen Douglas. The new introduction is by Morgan Freeman, whose production company, Revelations Entertainment, has optioned a screenplay of "Trials of the Earth." Freeman has long championed the book as one of the most important memoirs in the Southern canon.
The new publisher is Mary Mann Hamilton, LLC, and the book is being distributed by Neil White and his team at Nautilus Publishing in Taylor.
The book retails for $24.95.

Bemis Co. closing Ohio manufacturing plantComments Email Print
Bemis Co. Inc. is closing a manufacturing plant in Stow, Ohio, a site that makes solvent-based pressure sensitive materials.
The location, slated to close in May, has about 115 workers, the Neenah, Wis.-based company said.
Headquarters for the company's pressure sensitive materials business will remain open in Stow, Bemis said. Work at the site dates back to 1959. The location had annual net sales of approximately $45 million last year, the company said.
Pressure sensitive materials accounted for about a tenth of the company's sales last year, with packaging making up the bulk of the company's $5 billion in revenue.
Bemis, less than a month ago, revealed plans to sell off its paper packaging division to Hood Packaging Corp. for an undisclosed price. That operation had sales of $160 million last year.

In advance of Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook's appearance before the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations tomorrow, to discuss overseas cash holdings and tax policy, Apple a short while ago posted Cook's prepared testimony.
Among the points Cook makes are that Apple has created jobs:
Apple has been a powerful engine of job creation in the US. Apple estimates it has created or supported approximately 600,000 jobs in the US, including nearly 50,000 jobs for Apple employees and approximately 550,000 jobs at other companies in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, logistics and software development. Approximately 290,000 of these American jobs are related to the new "App Economy" launched by Apple's App Store. In less than five years, Apple has paid third-party app developers worldwide over $9 billion in connection with sales of their software to Apple customers.
Apple also notes it will pay over $7 billion in taxes this year:
Apple is likely the largest corporate income tax payer in the US, having paid nearly $6 billion in taxes to the US Treasury in FY2012. These payments account for $1 in every $40 in corporate income tax the US Treasury collected last year. The Company's FY2012 total US federal cash effective tax rate was approximately 30.5%.1 The Company expects to pay over $7 billion in taxes to the US Treasury in its current fiscal year. In accordance with US law, Apple pays US corporate income taxes on the profits earned from its sales in the US and on the investment income of its Controlled Foreign Corporations ("CFCs"), including the investment earnings of its Irish subsidiary, Apple Operations International ("AOI") [...] In FY2012, the Company paid approximately $327 million in the employer's share of payroll taxes for its US-based employees and $830 million in income taxes to state governments.
Apple "does not use tax gimmicks," the testimony states. The paper offers some broad background, including statements such as "Apple is an American success story."
The company also notes its stock is held by some of the country's largest funds:
Based on the latest available public filings, at least twelve public and private pension funds in the US held Apple stock as their top equity investment, including funds for public employees in Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. At least twenty-nine such funds identified Apple as a top five holding. All told, these entities own approximately $14.6 billion worth of Apple stock, which entitles them to annual dividend payouts totaling approximately $396 million.4 At approximately 3% of the S&P 500, Apple is one of the most-widely held equities in the mutual fund industry.
The article ends with the observation that some in Congress are right to say U.S. corporate tax policy "undermines U.S. competitiveness" because it "applies industrial era concepts to a digital economy," and proposes what the company characterizes as Apple-like simplicity in reforming the code, including "Be revenue neutral; Eliminate all corporate tax expenditures; Lower corporate income tax rates; and Implement a reasonable tax on foreign earnings that allows free movement of capital back to the US."
The company "hopes the Subcommittee will see that these recommendations aim to create meaningful change and go well beyond what most US companies propose."
Apple joins a long line of firms, especially tech firms, such as Cisco Systems (CSCO), and other Silicon Valley names, that have pressed for measures to encourage repatriation of overseas cash holdings.
Apple shares today are up $11.49, or 2.7%, at $444.75.

Stanislav Bukhlov, the company director quickly made big moves, acquiring the Russian promotion Ice Storm. Ice Storm is set to be rebranded as Elite Fight Night Russia. The format will stay the same as when it was under Ice Storm, in the same venue and same city at the Tyumen Circus Arena in the Russian city of Tyumen.
Also, in another good move for the company, all events held under the Elite Boxing Russia banner will be filmed in high definition and "distributed to 180 countries around the world through Elite Boxing's network of broadcast partners, including ESPN/Star Sports and Eurosport." Anytime Muay Thai can get on television is good for the sport, as it definitely lacks exposure to more eyes.
Here's the fight card for Elite Boxing's Russian debut on September 8th:
|Ruslan Berdiev
|Titipong Daengsi
|63 kg
|5 rounds
|Alexei Ulyanov
|Chalermdet Infinity
|66 kg
|5 rounds
|Marsel Adzhiniyazov

|Vladislav Popov
|Cheick Sidibé
|86 kg
|5 rounds
|Stanislav Popov
|Issam Reghi
|86 kg
|5 rounds
And here's the full press release:
The growing popularity of muaythai in Russia is about to receive a major boost as Elite Boxing Russia—a recently established subsidiary of Bangkok-based Elite Boxing—has announced it is set to launch a new series of muaythai events. Under the brand name Elite Fight Night Russia, events will be held every 3 months at the 1,600-seat Tyumen Circus Arena in the central Russian city of Tyumen. The first event is scheduled for September 8, 2011.
Following the recent establishment of Elite Boxing Russia, company director Stanislav Bukhlov has quickly made his mark in the potentially very lucrative Russian market by negotiating the acquisition of the popular Ice Storm muaythai series. Under the agreement, Ice Storm will be rebranded as Elite Fight Night Russia.
Each EFN Russia event will be filmed in HD and distributed to 180 countries around the world through Elite Boxing's network of broadcast partners, including ESPN/Star Sports and Eurosport.
The fights will also feature the best muaythai talent from across Russia and will provide the Elite Boxing Group with better access to the finest Russian fighters for its annual Thailand VS Russia event in the company's flagship Thailand VS Challenger Series. This year's Thailand VS Russia event is scheduled for October, just a month after the first EFN Russia event.
In addition to providing fighters for Thailand VS Russia, EFN Russia also offers Elite Boxing a strategic and cost-effective marketing tool that can be used to raise awareness of the Thailand VS Challenger brand as Elite Boxing looks to penetrate the huge Russian market.
Despite only taking on his new role as head of Elite Boxing Russia in June of this year, Bukhlov is already repaying the faith placed in him by Elite Boxing. Bukhlov is a very experienced promoter, matchmaker and judge, and although his background is primarily in Western boxing, he—along with many other Russians—has become increasingly interested in muaythai in recent years.
One of Bukhlov's biggest assets is his network of contacts and this played a big part in allowing him to negotiate the acquisition of Ice Storm. Under the new name of EFN Russia, the events will continue to be supported by the local police chief, who is a big fan of muaythai and just one of Bukhlov's many influential contacts.
Bukhlov's hard work has not gone unnoticed. Speaking from Bangkok, where he is preparing for the upcoming TVC at the Queen's Cup event, Elite Boxing co-founder Seth Fishman was full of praise for Bukhlov. "Stani really has a great pedigree in the world of martial arts and we are honoured and proud to have him in the EB team," said Fishman.
"He is a very pro-active guy and we have to say a big thank you for the work he has already done in establishing both EB and TVC in Russia," continued Fishman. "We are very excited about the future of muaythai and EB in Russia, and Stani is the perfect person to help us achieve our goals there."
So far from the outside looking in, Elite Boxing is building a strong brand. With their Thailand vs. Challengers and Elite Fight Night series being held regularly, more hopefully start to take notice. I wouldn't be surprised to see Elite Boxing start picking up bigger name fighters for their events if they can garner success from their expansion into new territory. They've already picked up names for their events such as It's Showtime 95MAX champ Danyo Ilunga, who fights on their Thailand vs. Europe event on September 17th.

.A flurry of racist tweets that followed President Barack Obama's re-election came primarily from southern states, according to a map that geographically pinpointed the point of origin of the hate speech.
Tweets calling the president a "monkey" or using racial epithets prompted a group of geography experts to try and break down whether the hateful language was more prevalent in some areas of the country than others.
As it turns out, it was.
The bigoted tweets serve as a "useful reminder that technology reflects the society in which it is based, both the good and the bad," said geography research group Floating Sheep.
The group took 365 tweets and laid them over a color-coded map of the United States to analyze the frequency of hate tweets compared to the frequency of election-related tweets in that state.
Mississippi and Alabama had the highest ratio of racist tweets. They were followed by Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, forming a "fairly distinctive cluster in the southeast" of online hate speech, the research finds.
North Dakota, Utah, and Missouri also had a high prevalence of racist tweets.
In the west and northwest, there were very few racist tweets, with the exception of Oregon, the map indicates.
Some states, including Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and South Dakota, had no hate tweets, but the research notes that the prevalence of Twitter use is lower in those states

Messing around with ripping in RedHat 8.0. Been using Debian, but got tired of trying to create a install CD that uses Woody, OpenOffice and KDE 3.0.3. PGI is the way to go, but those folks seem busy getting detect 2.0 out, so I moved on. I only have a dial-up connection, so keeping a local Woody deb archive current seemed like a bit of a stretch.
Anyway, I like Psyche. The screen looks great, and it's nice having all the archives on a CD for quick install.
- the menu structure sucks! I need to figure out how to write a script that will reorganize it so I like it.
- the gnome preferences are a bit annoying for a kde user. it's easy to switch them, but the ads for ximian, evolution and their file manager during the install are a bit annoying
I'm working on getting hayes playlist working with noatun now. Having music ripped to the hard drive is something that I've been looking forward to.

Freezing the rugelach before baking helps the cookies maintain their shape. For gift giving, layer them between sheets of waxed paper and arrange in tins lined with colorful cellophane or tissue paper.
Leave a Review
These cookies are my family's favourite. I follow the dough recipe as is but I have tried substitutions in the filling. My preferred combo is toasted pecans instead of walnuts and milk chocolate instead of semisweet. Amazing every time.
I have been making these for 7-8 years and they are a favorite at holiday time in our family. Go easy on the filling as what leaks out tends to burn. Line the cookie sheet as the burned or thickened jelly is a mess to clean. You can really fill these with any flavor jam & nut. I like them with almonds & apricot jam. Best within a day or two of baking.
This has turned into holiday tradition to make with my granddaughter. It is easy to substitute any kind of filling you want. She and her friend (10 years old this year) made their batch with raspberry fruit spread and mini chocolate chips. I used a pear fruit spread with chopped dried apricots and chopped toasted almonds. Both were good quality French spreads. It is messy and I did have to resist the urge to "fix" their cookies, but didn't and they were delicious. Like others I only bake for about 25 min.
This was really good, but I did as proposed in the epi-blog and used the dough from this recipe http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/109475 and made them in rolls. I didn't put in the chips and they weren't any worse for it. I wonder how they would be with dates or figs?
I have never made or eaten rugelach before I made this, so call me biased, but it was delicious! The dough rolled well and didn't dry out either. All in all, this was great.
I found this recipe to be excellent and easy. I used the dough recipe, but completely changed the fillings since my children and I wanted a choc, chip and apricot (only) rugelach. I prepared the rugelach, chilled it, rolled it out, sprinkled cocoa powder, sugar, then choc. chips. Do not over do them. Then I rolled the triangles, brushed the egg wash and sprinkled more sugar. I left it assembled in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before baking. For the apricot. I used a high end preserve and sprinkled sugar the same way. Everyone was impressed and asked for the recipe. I also tried it rolled -the traditional way and the triangles were more crusty and flaky. The overall preference for sure.
It took a longer time than expected to make the dough, but then again it could just be me being slow :) But it was worth the time b/c it was the highlight of the night!! I received a great reviews on this sweet dessert. I would suggest using different fillings if you want to try something different from just chocolate, cherry, and walnut. You can basically substitute any nut for walnut and any jam/jelly for cherry. Give it a try :)
Everyone loves this recipe. I used frozen berries instead of cherries. It's easier to premix all the filling then spoon on and spread with back of spoon. For Aussies: 2 sticks of butter = 250 g or 1 block, 6 oz cream cheese = 190g ricotta works just as well, Preserve = Jam
The pastries came out awesome but the dough was very difficult to work with. I find that a sour cream dough is much easier to work with when making rugelach. Next time I will adapt the filling to my rugelach recipe.
I make this cookies every Christmas. They're always a favorite. I use hazelnuts instead of walnuts.

2012 Annual Benefit Fashion Show Director
"I think it is important for artists and designers to be able to motivate people around a vision because it opens up the way we experience things. As artists and designers, we primarily use sight as our main source of information/inspiration but the inclusion of so many other elements deepens our understanding of a vision." Karen Feliz '14
One of MICA's premier annual events, the Annual Benefit Fashion Show, is largely organized by students, with support from the Office of Diversity and Intercultural Development. For 2012 show directors Karen Feliz '14 and Morel Doucet '14 (interdisciplinary sculpture), it was preparation to reach their career goals–Doucet as an art director and small business owner, and Feliz as a curator and textile designer. The Miami natives both attended the highly regarded New World School of the Arts magnet high school there.
Began under the leadership of Dr. Frankie Martin, then-director of Multi-ethnic Student Programs, the show continues to exceed expectations. The 2012 incarnation, Transcends, allowed the audience to peek into the inner workings of the designer's brain by viewing garments created as a manifestation of their inner thoughts. The show made the larger point that the garments people choose to wear consciously or unconsciously reflect their innermost impulses.
Doucet and Feliz both cite the ability to work with a team as a crucial skill in the professional paths they want to pursue. They called on their networking and research skills to design the innovative show, and say that their communication skills improved, as they were able to use their management experience to help them learn to delegate, budget, plan events, and meet deadlines.
They both stress that collaboration is the key to extraordinary success. Behind the curtain, they worked for almost a year to convert a small seed of an idea into a multi-level extravaganza. They couldn't do it alone, however. Graphics, make-up, jewelry, production, and marketing teams—not to mention the student designers featured in the show—were organized to generate excitement before and during the show and ensure that the audience had an unforgettable experience. Because of their participation in Transcend, many students were featured in local newspapers and blogs, which expanded their support base.
The most important lesson the team learned may have been that possibilities are almost endless when talented people work together. Doucet points out that "there is only so much you can achieve working on your own." Once they put together their team, Feliz says, there was "an everlasting stream of artistic development."

I received mine in the mail today...SN #29.
I am very impressed w/ the design/construction. All fittings are tight and the operation is very smooth.
I got a box of brown (power level 2) and green (power level 3) Ramset blanks at HD...they say Super X on them so I am guessing that they are made by Winchester. The brown will launch the bumper 20-30 yds w/ a 30 ft arch. The green will launch the bumper 50+yds w/ a high arch.
I think the launcher has a lot of potential...ideas:
> a carry bag to carry launcher, remote, bumpers, rounds, spare battery, etc. - another orange 5 gal bucket for now
> more bumper options - black and white, rubber BB like, etc - i need to get some dokkens
> a servo module vs rcvr setup so that you can use TT/Dogtra xmt/rcvr - could use one TT rcvr for 2 launchers w/ 2 cheap ($25) servo modules
> a bag/cart/wagon setup to carry multiple launchers into the field
> a way to gang multiple launchers together so that they can be transported and operated as a unit (like BB)

Anyone have a updated review on these units? I'm thinking about purchasing on in the new future
I just bought one last weekend and I love it. I also wish it had duck sound instead of beeper. it's a lot of fun and worth every penny.
I have been thinking about purchasing one myself but like to hear reviews, so Thanks
Get four of them and your good.
Just got two of them and do like them. Pros: quick to set up, very portable, shoots bumpers different trajectories and distances with different blanks. Cons: not able to shoot dead birds or dokkens, has a beep instead of duck call. I did buy the flasher bumpers to give a different look. The dogs aren't used to seeing a "throw" quite that far when shooting the yellow blanks which has been an adjustment.

Discontinued Product
12000 BTU Single Zone Heat Pump Mini-Split System
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
LG 12000 BTU Single Zone Heat Pump Mini-Split System - Grey
Stay cool during the summer and warm during the winter when you use your very own LG 12000 BTU Single Zone Heat Pump Mini-Split System (LS093HE). This heater/cooler features a powerful 11,500 BTU capacity that provides heating and cooling for small- to medium-sized rooms in the home or office. The four (4) air speeds give you quicker cooling and heating for those extra warm or cold days, while the dehumidification function takes up to 3 pints of moisture from the air per hour, meaning you get a crisper and cleaner-feeling atmosphere, helping to lower the room's temperature. On the inside part of the mini-split system, the temperature display allows you to see the current room temperature, meaning you can adjust the temperature to meet your preferences or leave it the way it is.
This mini-split system is auto-operated, which means it can read the temperature in the room and shut off when the desired temperature has been reached, which saves you money in the long run on energy bills. An auto restart setting ensures that if there is ever a power outage, the unit will be able to turn itself back on to the settings it was on, which means you will receive uninterrupted cooling after the power turns back on. A 24 hour on/off timer allows you to set the time that the mini-split system powers on and off, which allows you to keep the system off during the day and powered on by the time you get home, conserving energy and keeping your cool or warm whenever you need it. Complete with a remote control for added convenience, this unit will allow you to stay warm or cool when the need arises, keeping your home comfortable.
Cooling & Heating:This mini-split system ensures that you get both heating and cooling, meaning you can use this unit year-round for optimal comfort
Conserve Energy:This unit features an auto shutoff and restart, as well as a 24 hour on/off timer, that allows you to conserve energy by keeping the unit off when you aren't home
Dehumidification Function:The dehumidifier function allows the unit to remove 3 pints of moisture from the air per hour, meaning your room will stay cooler and crisper

The plant is being built in Bang Phra, approximately 100 km south of Bangkok
Singapore: South Korean company Green Cross is building a plasma derivatives plant (worth $68 million) in Bangkok, Thailand. Green Cross, which signed the contract for the plant with the Thai Red Cross Society in January this year, hopes to complete the facility in 2014.
According to a press release issued by the company, all equipment will be installed and verified, and pilot production will be completed by September 2015. With this contract, Green Cross became the first Korean pharmaceutical company to build a biological products plant in a foreign country.
The plant is being built in Bang Phra, approximately 100 km south of Bangkok, and will produce plasma derivatives, including albumin and immunoglobulins. Currently, only four Asian countries have plasma derivatives plants: Korea, Japan, China and India. Most countries in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East import blood fractionation products.
The contract is significant for Thailand as the Thai government has for long strived to secure its own plasma derivatives production facilities, which will produce products derived from the blood of Thai people.
Green Cross is recognized for its world-class technology in this field. In 2009, the company built the Ochang Plantin Korea, the largest plasma derivatives plant in Asia, which now exports plasma derivatives to over 30 countries worldwide.

2009 Suzuki Equator Suspension & Shocks - Project Super EquatorPosted in Project Vehicles on April 1, 2009 Comment (0)
Our Suzuki Equator project is moving along. So far we have driven the slick truck more than 5,000 miles and have really gotten to like it in factory form. But since something in our genes forces us to modify trucks and push them to their limits, our super Equator is quickly transforming into a formidable off-road machine.
We don't have many complaints about the Equator. We really appreciate its performance, but it lacks the ground clearance required to take us places we'd like to push the truck. We aren't looking to turn the Equator into the next supersized monster truck, just a tough and dependable rig that's comfortable to drive to and from the trail despite the bone-jarring effects of rock-strewn and washboard trails.
Since the '09 is hot off the presses, there wasn't one proprietary suspension system available for the truck. So we teamed up with a few of the top suspension manufacturers and gathered a mishmash of quality components. What we wound up with is a hot midsized truck with a substantial increase in ground clearance and a well-mannered, high-performance suspension system.

Hey, everybody's welcome. It looks like Jdogger might have to dust off his 8 hitter hookah he picked up in Amsterdam back in '68.
....getting back to the original thread...Rush did not call for a boycott, does not believe in boycotts and bought 2 Suburbans in the past 2 weeks. GM is a major sponsor of his show...maybe the new 'owners' will pull their advertising based on who he is but he has consistently supported Union Workers..just not the the Union Bosses .

"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
Somehow, we have been fooled into believing we must participate in the global economy, even if it works to our detriment. We dont have to. Just look at the Japanese. They are masters of participating in the global economy while protecting their own markets. Before the current world wide economic slow down, the Japanese sold approximately 15 million cars world wide. At the same time, they have kept sales of non-Japanese cars to around 10k units (that includes all U.S., European, and Korean models) in Japan. Ninety five percent of all cars sold in Japan are Japanese cars. Through taxes and tariffs, they have made it almost impossible for the average Japanese citizen to buy a non-Japanese car. The car market in Japan is closed to imports. My point is, its okay to participate in the global economy, but take care of home first!
In the 1960s, the auto companies and the UAW were hailed as good corporate citizens for providing such a good standard of living for their people. What they were being paid benefitted the entire economy. Now, they are being ridiculed for it. You may see auto workers pay and benefits as excessive, but some guy in China making $1/hour would probably see the money you make as excessive. So, why dont you volunteer to give up a portion of your income to get closer to what theyre making in China? It would certainly make your company more competitive and profitable. Its always easier to tell someone else what they should be willing to give up when you are not being forced to give up anything.
There are plenty of other examples where manufacturing cost have been significantly reduced by cheap labor, but the savings hasnt been passed on to American consumers.
The U.S. textile and clothing industries is all but gone from the U.S. Since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994, about 1 million U.S. textile jobs have been lost. Clothes are now made in China, Mexico, and other cheap labor markets. As a result, the cost of producing clothes has gone down significantly for manufacturers. Has the price you pay for clothing gone down accordingly?
Furniture that used to be produced in NC is now made in China because its cheaper. Hourly wages for furniture workers in China are between $0.50 and $0.75, which is much as ten times lower than what is legal in the U.S. How much has the price you pay for furniture gone down?
The reason companies take their manufacturing overseas is to lower their costs, thereby maximizing their profit. They dont do it to save you money.
No one is suggesting that UAW members work for what is paid in other countries. However, the average UAW line worker makes more per hour and has much better benefits that a RN nurse! Yes, they are overpaid and and in the 1960's they were building mostly crappy vehilces. That's why people want Asian cars and trucks today. Detroit can't get consumers to forget quality and design issues of the past.
Japanesse may buy some USA vehicles but don't fool yourself. They don't like what we build. What they did buy from us was trucks.
Also, without Chineese manufactoring, there would be no Walmart. Yes, cloths are cheaper today.
GM's buisness model will never turn a profit. Not with government in charge. We will never see our money back!
