Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)
|Sonic the Hedgehog
Also known as: Baramdori Sonic (KR)
This game has unused enemies.
This game has a bugs page
This game has a prerelease article
Sonic the Hedgehog is more or less the definitive game of the Genesis in the early 1990s and introduced the world to Sega's new mascot.
- 1 Level Select
- 2 Debug Mode
- 3 Unused Sprites
- 4 Unused Warping Effect
- 5 Invisible Credits
- 6 Misplaced Objects
- 7 Unused Chunks Level
- 8 Exception Handler
- 9 Unused Sounds
- 10 Revisional Differences
Level Select
One of the most well-known codes in gaming history: press Up, Down, Left, Right on the title screen (three Downs if playing on a Japanese console), then hold A and press Start. In the original revision, the level order is different from the order in normal gameplay.
|Green Hill Zone
|Green Hill Zone
|Labyrinth Zone
|Marble Zone
|Marble Zone
|Spring Yard Zone
|Star Light Zone
|Labyrinth Zone
|Spring Yard Zone
|Star Light Zone
|Scrap Brain Zone
|Scrap Brain Zone
|Final Zone
|Final Zone
Debug Mode
Again, codes for the debug mode vary based on console region.
International Version
Another well-known code. While Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right, C is the most common version, a shorter version is C, C, Up, Down, Left, Right. The main requirement for the code is pressing C twice before the final input of Right. After entering the code, press Start while holding A and continue holding A until Sonic appears in the level.
To activate Level Select and Debug Mode, simply enter the Level Select code, push any direction on the D-Pad after the ring sound, then enter the Debug Mode code.
From here, you have access to a variety of things:
- Invincibility
- Infinite Time
- Debug Coordinates (in place of score)
- Sprite Counter (in place of time)
- Placement Mode: Press B during gameplay. From there,
- Press A to move forward one object.
- Hold A and press C to move backward one object.
- Press C to place the object.
- Pause Options: press A to go back to the title screen, B to enable slow motion, or C to enable frame advance.
Japanese Version
When running on a Japanese console, there are separate codes for the pause options and the rest of the debug features. As usual, they are entered on the title screen and can be combined by interpolating a D-Pad direction between them.
Pause Options:
- C, C, Up, Down, Down, Down, Left, Right
Debug Mode:
- C, C, C, C, Up, Down, Down, Down, Left, Right, hold A and press Start
Once enabled, they behave in the same manner as they do when running on non-Japanese systems.
Unused Sprites
|Sonic gulping air. Likely used for the air bubbles found in Labyrinth Zone, as well as Scrap Brain Zone Act 3.
|Sonic holding his breath. Possibly used for when the player was close to drowning.
|Seen in earlier development pictures. Apparently a victory animation used after passing the goal. Slightly modified versions of these sprites would finally see the light of day in Sonic Mania, keeping their original purpose.
|A sliding sprite, similar to those used in Sonic CD. Again, modified versions of these sprites would later appear in Sonic Mania.
|Spin Dash-like sprites. There's a routine which would change Sonic's sprite to one of these, but it's unused.
|Shrinking, maybe falling, sprites for Sonic. Probably used for a bird's-eye-view section.
These are visible if you fly over the goal in debug mode, as the end-of-level art loading routine isn't executed and the goal art is written over the top of the art for the monitors.
|A Robotnik monitor. Possibly would have hurt Sonic, like in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
|An image of Sonic's unused goggles, leading some to believe it was originally a power-up.
|A static monitor, used as a default for invalid object IDs. Scrap Brain Zone contains a number of these (apparently a victim of changing object allocations - the subtypes work perfectly if these are changed to solidity objects) which emit various glitched tiles when broken. They can be placed in Debug Mode, but don't do anything when broken.
|A monitor with a S on it. This monitor appears in Prototype 510 of Sonic CD, essentially giving the player a speed boost and invincibility.
Green Hill Zone
|This checkered ball, seen in early screenshots, and part of the Green Hill Zone boss in the final. It would have originally been its own object, and would have chased Sonic and crashed through walls that he couldn't break through. The checker ball can still be viewed via debug mode, but cannot be placed.
|Two faces, possibly from an earlier point in development. Their true palette isn't in the game anymore. They are simply earlier versions of the Green Hill Zone decorations. They can be also seen in the Nick Arcade prototype of Sonic 2 in Green Hill Zone, on the glitched Crabmeats and the Act 3 boss. They are loaded naturally into the RAM addresses FFBAC8 and FFBAD0 and appear a layer in front of the sprites, can be added on Green Hill Zone with these codes, FF5970:0159 happy face, FF5972:015A sad face.
|Unused tiles from the Green Hill Zone. Interestingly, these tiles were used for the Underground segment of Green Hill's second act in the 8-bit version. It is possible that an Underground section was once planned for the 16-bit version as at some point in development. These tiles would later appear in Sonic Mania.
|The swinging platforms of Green Hill Zone instead carry a wrecking ball when the highest bit of their subtype value is set. The object is fully functional, and can hurt Sonic. Technically, the swinging platforms of Marble Zone, Star Light Zone, and the swinging spikeball of Scrap Brain Zone are capable of doing this, too, but the wrecking ball graphics are not loaded, suggesting this feature was only intended for Green Hill Zone. You can see this using these codes during debug mode FFFE06:6B00, FFD004:1500.
Marble Zone
|A horizontally-oriented spiked chandelier thingy. A fully functional but completely unused object exists for these. Can be added using patch code FFD004:4500 with debug mode actived in Marble Zone.
Spring Yard Zone
|An unused sign present in Spring Yard's tileset, seen in early screenshots.
Labyrinth Zone
|A Burrobot facing downwards.
Star Light Zone
|Unused lights from Star Light Zone.
|Unused pieces of capsule, they are loaded into the data of the Robotnik's capsule.
Final Zone
|The sprite on the left shows the back parts of the legs of Robotnik's vehicle, which are impossible to see in-game.
|A rosebud with an incorrect palette, which functions like a bumper. This is because both the ending and Special Stage use the same debug item list, resulting in a strange-looking bumper due to different art being used.
Special Stage
These can be seen in normal gameplay by falling out of a Special Stage using debug mode.
|Labeled as Zones 1-6, possibly used to mark which Special Stage you were in.
|A 1-up icon. This is mentioned and shown in the game's manual, but doesn't appear in-game outside of the aforementioned out-of-bounds area. It is actually fully coded and functional, and collecting it will grant you an extra life. The icon disappears like a ring when touched.
|A W block. It's unknown what this would have done.
|Press Start Button
|This text was meant to appear on the title screen, but was disabled due to a programming error. Interestingly, it will appear on Japanese systems after viewing the invisible credits. It can be reactivated by using the code FFD11A:0100.
|Splats the Bunny
|An unused badnik that seems to have been cut relatively late in development, as both a trading card and a figurine for it were released.
|Unused sprites for goggles, which would have been placed over Sonic. It was most likely supposed to come from opening the respective Goggles Monitor.
|Eggman Explodes
|These sprites could have been used in the ending, since they show Eggman struggling to stay in the air (and then exploding), presumably only if you attacked Eggman's craft when he tries to escape in Final Zone.
|Unused Explosion
|An unused and quite different explosion, found along with the badnik art. Speculated to be from an earlier version of the game.
|Unknown Grass
|A chunk of grass which has no known purpose. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to match with any palette in the game.
|Unused Switch
|An unused frame of the switch sprite. When bit 5 of a switch's subtype is set, it makes the object flash, using this sprite. In Labyrinth Zone, this sprite's data is partially overwritten by the cork sprite in VRAM. Marble Zone's switch has no equivalent sprite.
Unused Warping Effect
Possibly an earlier method of accessing the Special Stage, this warp effect activates when Sonic runs into the area in which the object is placed. Sonic disappears as he runs into it, and a warping noise plays. Sonic then reappears a few seconds later, likely as a method of testing the object.
Invisible Credits
Credits that are hidden on the Sonic Team Presents screen, and completely unseen in every region outside of Japan. If you have a Japanese Mega Drive, or switch the region to Japanese, you can use the code C, C, C, C, C, C, Up, Down, Down, Down, Left, Right, which should make a ring noise, then when the demo starts, enter Down + A + B + C to turn the screen's background to white, making the text visible when the demo finishes. This code does not work in the Sonic Classics version.
The credits translate to:
|Yuuji Naka
|Hirokazu Yasuhara
| Naoto Ooshima
Jina Ishiwatari
Rieko Kataoka
|Sound Produce
|Masato Nakamura
|Sound Program
| Hiroshi Kubota
Yukifumi Makino
Misplaced Objects
Green Hill Zone Act 2 has multiple misplaced enemies, such as this Crabmeat at coordinates 10D0,0370, under the section with the moving pillars and spikes just before the checkpoint. They cannot be seen in gameplay, as they're always placed such that they instantly fall into the abyss and unload. The Crabmeat is particularly amusing in that it's already below the level of the screen.
Unused Chunks Level
|To do:
Identify whether there are differences or whether they are just unused copies.
Labyrinth Zone:
Marble Zone:
Star Light Zone:
Note: Several unused chunks of Star Light Zone still retain the level Desgin style used in several pre-release screenshots and because there are several unused chunks, maybe this level has had many changes.
Scrap Brain Zone:
Exception Handler
The game contains a very basic error handler. In the event a 68000 exception occurs (e.g. a bug causes the game to crash), the game will stop and print some basic information to the screen. This can be triggered in a couple of ways:
- In Labyrinth Zone, if the camera is panned down at the moment the results screen is about to appear at the end of the first two Acts, the game may crash with an illegal instruction exception.
- In Marble Zone Act 2, if you get a quick start, destroy both Buzz Bombers in one jump, in the same jump make it over the lava, and land, the game may crash with an address error.
These are best performed on an actual console, as the error handler does not work properly in some emulators.
While the error handler has text for most of the defined 68000 exceptions, very few of them are likely to show up during normal gameplay. In particular, the leftover code for the Goggles monitor is known to cause a ZERO DIVIDE error.
Unused Sounds
|To do:
Rip the rest of the unused sounds
Meant to be played when a Buzz Bomber's missle explodes, although it doesn't really sound like an explosion. Due to the fact that this behavior is unused, it's possible that the sound IDs were changed at some point during development, and this sound was meant to be something else entirely.
Revisional Differences
|To do:
A revision (commonly known as REV01) was silently released, which is more common in the Asian market. Most compilations and re-releases include this altered version. Below are the changes:
- The game's background deformation and screen drawing routines were given significant overhauls. As a result, the clouds in Green Hill Zone and on the title screen now scroll from right to left (common in most depictions of Green Hill in the series), backgrounds that previously did not have multiple layers of scrolling now do, and the water in Labyrinth Zone/Scrap Brain Zone Act 3 has been given a ripple effect, similar to that of Sonic CD.
- The level select was rearranged. In the initial release, the Zones were listed in a pre-release order that doesn't represent the final game.
- There are more changes if the game detects whether it is being played on a Japanese console. Previously, it disabled the Debug Mode but enabled the hidden developer credits - the revision provides new Level Select and Debug Mode codes as well.
- The points system was slightly altered: extra lives are now gained every 50,000 points, and the final boss now awards 1,000 points in defeat. Previously, extra lives were not acquired upon reaching any particular point total and the final boss awarded no points at all.
- Minor programming changes of certain properties such as Caterkiller's nuances, lamppost / game over and drowning music exist.
- Generally, the game code is tighter, more efficient, and removed unnecessary remnants like certain unused sprites.
- Holding buttons during the attract mode and ending demo sequences will not cause Sonic to miss jumps.
Labyrinth Zone's Extra Ring
There is one extra ring in Labyrinth Zone Act 1 of Revision 01. After the player presses a button near the two rising platforms, a platform spawns above, something few people know about. It's possible to reach this platform with a well-timed jump, and if the player rides on it, it'll take them to an alternate path which may have an extra ring. With said ring, it is possible to collect 50 rings (and so access the Special Stage) while taking this shortcut.

Ke$ha had a Twitter slip up that revealed a surprise Nicki Minaj had in store for fans. The spunky pop star will appear on a remix of Minaj's "Super Bass," which will be released on a deluxe edition of the rapper's Pink Friday album.
According to Digital Spy, Ke$h spilled the beans in a keyed-up tweet.
"Just saw @NickiMinaj superrr bassssss vid bahaahahaaha AMAZING!! can't wait for you to hear the remix we [did]. (sic)," she tweeted.
The message was quickly deleted moments later.
Despite Nicki recently expressing a desire to limit the number of collaborations she works on in the coming future, both her and Ke$ha appear on a remix of the Britney Spears single "Till the World Ends."

Stephen Hemsley's speeches explore the multifaceted and complex issues facing both the health and pharmaceutical industries in America today. Hemsley pinpoints the inability of the government -- at all levels -- and the market to come to a consensus on how to best tackle the biggest challenges.
Hemsley's career began shortly after he graduated from Fordham University in 1974 with a BA. Before joining UnitedHealth Group in 1997, he worked at Arthur Anderson as its Managing Partner and CFO. He became the CEO of UnitedHealth Group in 2006.
Stephen Hemsley's speech offer his perspective on why so much contention exists between the medical and pharmaceutical industry and government. He indicates that the inability of these groups to come to a sense of cohesiveness and agreement stunts the naturally innovative nature of the pharma industry.

Miss USA misspells "Miss Louisiana", locals fix mistake
BATON ROUGE - The Miss USA pageant is printing new programs after a typo was discovered on a page featuring Miss Louisiana.
Locals notice the error at Wednesday's preliminary event where a picture spells "Louisianna" next to a picture of Brittany Guidry, Miss Louisiana.
The pageant's media staff was not aware of the misspelling until WBRZ News 2 brought the mistake to their attention. The organization was embarrassed by the error.
Officials scrambled to fix the problem and called Baton Rouge-based printing company Vivid Ink to help.
"Things like this happen all the time and if we screw up, we just acknowledge it and fix it," Vivid Ink owner Stephen St. Cyr said. "And if someone else screws up, we just acknowledge it and fix it."
An out-of-state company is responsible for the typo.
Vivid Ink employees will work overnight Thursday and much of the day Friday to print 1000 new and mistake-free books.
"Primarily because this event is being held in Louisiana, this is not the type of typo you want to make," Vivid Ink's general manager Mark Goodson said.
The competition is being held at the Baton Rouge River Center Sunday at 7 p.m.

"The card turned out exactly as it appeared online. Additionally, the image that I uploaded for the back turned out very clear. Very impressed! Also, it came in adorable packaging!"
"I use this product for Real Estate, to market my properties. I like it because it looks professional, its easy to customize and it is small enough to pass out to people with relevant information on the inside."
"I used a photo I had taken and lightened for the backdrop - it's beautiful! I've tried doing this card on other sites, but either the photo quality was sub-par or I couldn't manipulate it the way I wanted. This goes all the way to the edge of the paper, which is what I wanted. I also love being able to do a little something in the back of the card. One wish: I'd like to be able to justify the writing to the bottom of the print space. I figured it out myself but for everyone who's super persnickety about spacing, it would be nice to have a way to do it automatically. Overall: I love these cards. Beautiful quality. Totally getting them from here again."
"Not only are these cards perfect for promoting my Etsy store, they double as sales tags that go home with local retail customers."
"The front of the card was gorgeous but the print on the back was blurry and the red was bleeding into the white at the edges so it made the text hard to read."

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The NHL season is well-underway, especially considering the greatly shortened length of the season. With that being said, the standings don't look like they usually do, partly due to the low number of games played, but it also has a lot to do with the urgency felt by every team earlier than usual. The Maple Leafs and Islanders are doing well for them, while the Flyers, Rangers and defending champion Kings are opening their years with terrible slumps. The Flyers, in fact, are a point away from the league's worst record. It's looking to be a topsy-turvy season, at least at this point, so let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Saturday, February 2 at 8:00pm:
Minnesota is one of those teams nobody though would do much, but here they are. They still don't have a road win, though. Meanwhile, the Sharks are a perfect 7-0-0. It's certainly looking like the Wild won't get far at this rate.
Perhaps even less people saw the Oilers making much noise, but at 6-0-2, the Blackhawks have taken points from every game this season. Don't expect much from Edmonton against that.
Vancouver has the third seed by virtue of leading their division, but they haven't put any semblance of room ahead of their competition in the Northwest at all. If they can't do that, then Detroit can take advantage of Vancouver's lack of an early identity.
Both teams have been doing well enough early, but St Louis has the noticeably better offense. And they have two high-quality goalies. The Ducks will need to ratchet up the pressure to stop that kind of one-two punch.
Toronto may have won two straight to make it to this point, but the Lightning are too good. They have the NHL's most productive offense so far, and have dropped just one game all year. And every win has been by multiple goals.
The Devils may have four losses already, but they've gotten points out of three of them. Still, the Bruins have been one of the league's better teams so far. Even in the rough loss to Buffalo, Boston put up four goals. A rare lapse is possible for anyone now and then, and the Bruins certainly have the firepower to make sure that's what that loss was.
Ironically, the Penguins have a losing home record, but have more than made up for it away from home. The Islanders aren't too far behind, only a win away (their game in hand) from taking over the division. Still, when the teams are close, you have to go with the one that's a perennial playoff team.
Both teams are eerily similar. Both are easily in the conversation for a top three seed. It's an interesting spot after the Canadiens were the third-worst team in the league last year while the Senators nearly took down the Rangers in the opening round. When the teams are this close, the tendency is to go with the one with home-ice, and the Senators certainly aren't a bad team.

Thursday's matchup between the Chicago Fire and the L.A. Galaxy in California should have been a flagship game for Major League Soccer, writes Luis Arroyave. Bruce Arena makes his debut as Galaxy coach, pitching the western conference divas in desperate need of a win against the eastern high-fliers, with the league's most prominent designated players in David Beckham and Cuauhtémoc Blanco thrown into the mix.
But once again the international calendar has collided with league play, depriving L.A. of Beckham and Landon Donovan, and the Fire of Blanco (Mexico), Marco Pappa
(Guatemala) and Gonzalo Segares (Costa Rica). It also deprives the league of a game it could have really hyped up to its Thursday night national TV audience on ESPN2, and the local fans in L.A.
"The [MLS] calendar is tough," said Blanco. "I wish they would reschedule the game, but it's too late." MLS Deputy Commissioner Ivan Gazidis said, "This year, scheduling was a real
challenge," citing the usual factors of stadium availability, TV obligations and numerous other tournaments taking place during the MLS season.
"Very quickly, we were running out of
mid-week dates," Gazidis continued. "It's not our first choice to have our teams play without their best players, but it's the world we currently live in." The call-ups of Blanco and Beckham, both of
whom seemed to be beyond their international sell-by dates, were unexpected. "It's a great story," Gazidis added, "but it was not predictable."
Still, that doesn't place the league beyond
criticism, argues Arroyave. "Of all the games on the MLS schedule, the Fire-Galaxy match in the Los Angeles area is the one that should have been scheduled with the most care. The league needs more
games with star power and story lines, and Thursday's match-up would have provided both."

Midwest drought threatens crops, livelihoods and food prices
CLUNETTE, Ind. – Ask Craig Ganshorn how his corn crop is faring and he winces before replying. "Basically, it's burnt up," he says.
Ganshorn, 62, who has farmed 500 acres of corn and soybeans here since 1976, is confronting the grim realities of a drought that he says is worse "by far" than the one in 1988 that's remembered as among the worst in U.S. history.
Ganshorn's farm is in Kosciusko County, which is in extreme drought. He figures he won't get much return on his corn crop but hopes his soybeans, which are hardier and pollinate later than corn, will survive.
He's already calculated what this hot, dry summer means to his bottom line. "It just cancels any idea" of buying a newer used combine to replace his rickety old one, he says, and "there will be no trip to Colorado this year."
Searing temperatures and below-normal rainfall across a broad swath of the USA have created a drought that is killing crops and drying up streams. More than 1,000 counties have been declared natural disaster areas, giving farmers access to low-interest loans. Mississippi River water levels in some areas are nearing record lows. The conditions have prompted water-use restrictions in Illinois, Indiana and elsewhere, increased risk of wildfires and a marketplace domino effect that could mean more expensive groceries.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) last week dropped the estimated average corn yield by 12%. That means higher prices for corn, which forces livestock producers to liquidate herds because feed is too expensive. That, in turn, could mean higher prices for meat and dairy products next year because there will be fewer cattle, hogs and cows.
Food prices already are ticking upward. The Labor Department said Tuesday that food costs rose 0.2% in June from a month earlier and are up 2.7% from June 2011.
The culprit is a weather pattern that produced dry conditions in the middle of the country starting last fall, says Brian Fuchs, a climatologist at the National Drought Mitigation Center. Those conditions were exacerbated by a winter that was warmer and drier than normal, he says.
"Currently, almost 61% of the country (not including Alaska and Hawaii) is in drought, compared to 29% a year ago," Fuchs says. "Even though it is part of the natural variability of climate, this is a rare event." About 78% of the country's corn-growing regions are in drought, he says.
The Palmer Drought Severity Indexsays this drought covers the largest percentage of the contiguous USA since December 1956.
There isn't much good news in long-term weather forecasts. "Over the next several weeks to even the next month or so, we're not really anticipating any changes to the pattern," Fuchs says.
Crops are withering
In the Clunette area, some of the drought's effects are obvious. Corn stalks are 4 or 5 feet high, about half what they should be at this point in the summer, and nobody has to mow their lawn anymore. Grass is brown and dead, and farmers are conserving water for irrigating their fields — though even some watered corn is struggling.
The drought's effects are causing alarm across the Midwest:
•The Arkansas River near Syracuse, Kan., last week had less than 1 cubic foot per second of water flowing in it. The historical mean flow: 394 cubic feet per second. The flow was the lowest recorded for this time of year since records began in 1902, says Brian Loving, a U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist in Lawrence, Kan.
The temperature of the water flowing in the Wakarusa River, southeast of Topeka, reached 103 degrees on July 7, Loving says. High water temperatures reduce the amount of oxygen available in the stream to fish and other aquatic life.
"This could be the worst drought for our streams since we started keeping records a little over 100 years ago," he says.
•Randy Miles, a soil scientist at the University of Missouri-Columbia, stuck a probe into a farm field on Monday and found no moisture more than 5 feet deep. In a normal year, he would expect only the top 12-16 inches to be dry.
Current conditions, he says, mean that "crops won't thrive." The drought, Miles says, affects everything from earthworms, which must bore deeper to find moisture, to nutrients in the soil.
•Kent Lorens, who raises livestock, wheat and corn on a 3,400-acre farm near Stratton, Neb., is giving his cows and calves protein supplements because the dry grass they're eating doesn't provide enough nutrition. They're drinking 20 or 30 gallons of water daily instead of the usual 10, he says.
•At Honker Hill Winery near Carbondale, Ill., "Some of the plants are beginning to shed their leaves like they're dying. A lot of the grapes are drying up, too," says manager Stan South. Wine is still being made from last year's excellent crop, he says, but he thinks "it's very possibly time to invest in an irrigation system."
•Salesman Mark Holzum says foot traffic at Heuer Sons Implement Co. in Cape Girardeau, Mo., is "a fourth of what it normally would be" as farmers scrap or postpone equipment purchases. "They're not in a good mood," he says.
Close to 'total failure'
Iowa and Illinois are the top corn-producing states, according to the USDA, and usually account for about one-third of the U.S. crop. Indiana typically ranks fifth, says Chris Hurt, an agricultural economist at Purdue University. Much of Iowa is abnormally dry or in moderate drought, but its situation is not as bad as the one in Illinois and Indiana.
About 61% of Indiana's corn crop is rated poor or very poor — the worst of any major corn-producing state, Hurt says.
"Those crops are getting close to having total failure," he says.
At this point in 1988, 90% of Indiana's corn was rated in those two bottom categories. "This one is not yet as intense and horrible as 1988," he says, "but it's the only one that's close to comparable."
Tell that to Bruce Ferguson, who walked into the Clunette Elevator Co. — which helps manage and stores crops — one day last week with a 6-inch ear of corn with silk hanging from it. The corn had not pollinated, which means that it would never produce full rows of kernels.
Multiply that one ear by all the unirrigated corn planted on Ferguson's 1,400-acre farm for a sense of what the drought means to him. Only about 150 acres are irrigated, he says. "You have to be prepared for a pretty complete failure this year," says Ferguson, 60, who has farmed here since 1978.
Only a "minimal amount" of his crop was insured, and Ferguson estimates his eventual losses at about $500,000 unless conditions change. "If we get 2 or 3 inches of rain soon and 1 inch every week after that, the corn could rebound," he says.
John Anglin, the elevator's co-owner, doesn't expect a reprieve. "We can already identify some (corn) fields that will have zero yields," he says. Although some farmers will recoup most of their losses through insurance, that's no consolation, he says. "It is hard for the farmers to accept" a failed crop, Anglin says. "They would rather have a good crop than the dollars."
Meredith Powell, the Clunette Elevator's entomologist, says the drought is creating expensive problems that go beyond dryness. "Insects thrive in this environment," she says. Dry soil encourages Goss's bacterial wilt, which affects corn, she says, and the elevator is doing aerial spraying to try to eradicate adult corn rootworm beetles and spider mites, which attack soybeans.
John Powell, 55, who farms 2,000 acres here, faces a couple of big decisions in the next few days. "Right now we have to decide whether we're going to put more money into the corn crop," he says. Fungicides and herbicides that would help keep surviving corn healthy would set him back another $13-$15 an acre, he says.
Powell raises ducks with his brother-in-law and already has taken a big hit on that venture because of the drought. A couple of weekends ago when the temperature hit 104 degrees, 1,700 ducks died in a single day, he says.
Miles, the soil scientist, says the drought is so widespread and severe that even a return of regular rainfall through fall won't be enough to end it. "It would be nice," he says, "to have a winter … with plenty of snow and rain."

Just had my 30K service Friday am. SA tells me he did 2 recalls, 1 is a fitting, the other is a PCM reprogram. I ask why, he says little of this and that but should increase my MPG. Fantastic. Heading to the river right after and down the road I get a "exhaust filter cleaning" on the info panel. Never seen that before. About 15-20 min later, "Filter drive complete".
WTF is this. Did it once on the way and 2X on the way home today. Mileage seems the same.

US Government
posted by Emma .
Explain why this is false.
The most striking change in the U.S. government has been the decrease in the scope of its activities.
Think about the powers the federal government has assumed in the last 125 years or so.
Slaves were freed
All men were able to vote
Women got the vote
Social Security
Civil Rights Act
Aid to poor families
Income tax
federal highways
Thanks for the reply...can you help me with this one?
Take the four ideas behind ELITISM/ELISTIST government – Marx; Weber; Mills; and pluralism. All four have relevance to American government and politics today. For EACH of the four, define/describe it and then explain an issue or situation that is happening currently that backs up this theory. For each example, you should be able to use something out of the Bush administration since 9/11, with the War in Iraq being especially good ground to cover.
Just give me some brief points please!

As offers go, it's pretty hard to beat. Buy a newly built home now and you can live in it for free - no mortgage, no council tax and no house insurance. The developer is even offering to pay your gas and electricity bills.
In the week when it emerged that house sales last month slumped to their lowest level since 1959, these are some of the desperate measures that housebuilders have started to use in a bid to shift their unsold stock.
For several months, a number of crisis-hit builders have been offering purchasers the option of paying 75%-85% of the house's price at exchange, with the rest payable five or 10 years later. Now things have gone one step further.
Persimmon, the York-based group with 34 regional offices in the UK, is offering anyone who agrees to buy one of its new houses the chance to live in it for free for the first year. It says the buyers of "certain properties" will have their mortgage paid up to a maximum of £938.50 a month for 12 months. On top of that, it will pick up the buyer's first year's council tax up to £1,170. If you don't fancy paying gas, electricity and water bills, no problem - Persimmon will pick up the tab for those too, and throw in home insurance on top. In all, the package could be worth up to £15,000.
And it's not just Persimmon. Barratt Homes, which was already offering to buy its customers' existing homes in part-exchange, has this week been promising to give buyers back 15% of any losses they make if they sell their home within three years. Alternatively, it is offering up to £1,000 a month cashback in the form of a monthly payment until 2010, and will pay the buyer's stamp duty as well.
Some observers suggest that if things get any worse, sales managers will be offering to come in each morning to cook new buyers a full English breakfast and do the washing up afterwards.
There a number of caveats to these deals. Persimmon will not pick up the bill if buyers leave the heating on all year, and it seems the best deals are only being offered on some developments.
Barratt's discounted mortgage offer is effectively a 5% reduction on the asking price, payable in monthly instalments, and you only get one of the range of measures it is offering. Again, they are only available for some properties.
These offers all rely on the builder staying in business to pay the subsidies - something to consider if you take on such a deal. After all, this was the month Lehman Brothers went bust.
Although eye-catching, this phenomenon is not new. In previous financial downturns, developers came up with a number of ingenious ways to get buyers to sign on the dotted line. It started with free white goods and moved steadily upwards.
However, it looks as though the Persimmon deal has raised the bar again - and this in an industry that has already seen new houses being offered complete with linen on the supplied beds and towels in fitted wardrobes.
A spokesman for the Home Builders Federation says: "Clearly anyone trying to sell houses at the moment is having a difficult time, and developers are trying a range of incentives to make their homes more attractive."
He adds: "Normally around 200,000 newly built homes are completed and put on the market each year, although that figure is expected to be closer to 100,000 this year. Prices have been cut and for first-time buyers there are some spectacular bargains out there."
He says that a number have been bought by housing associations using the slump in prices to pick up cheap stock. Other developers have decided to rent out completed flats rather than sell them at a loss in the hope that prices will pick up later, although it could be a long wait.
HM Revenue & Customs said this week that 62,000 houses were sold in August - less than half the figure for a year ago when the credit crunch was already being felt.
The British Bankers' Association revealed that mortgage approvals dived 64% in the year to August.
One of the problems faced by developers is that no one wants to buy in a market in which prices still have further to drop.

As we've already seen with its AT200 Android tablet, Toshiba has a thing about having the slimmest and lightest products at the moment and another of its roster to claim such a crown is the Toshiba Portege Z830, the world's slimmest ultrabook and lightest 13in notebook.
First impressions of this machine are very good. Its magnesium/aluminium alloy body looks sublime with its matte grey finish. It's a design full of subtlety too with no garish elements tripping things up. Only the slightly wide bezel round the screen and the whole ridden bottom and look awry, and these are very minor points. The squareness of the design design quite have the sexiness of the MacBook Air or such like but it has an appeal of its own.
Picking the thing up and its low weight is striking; it really does feel peculiarly light. It, somewhat inevitably, doesn't feel all that tough, though, as the slimness has made it flexible - particularly the screen. Only the MacBook Air, with its solid milled aluminium chassis, has managed to maintain a ridged design and remain thin, though. Nonetheless, whereas some previous ultra light Toshibas we've seen have felt markedly flimsy, this one hasn't fallen into this trap. In fact its apparently quite rugged. A toshiba representative informed us it can survive drops of up to 30in, though he couldn't clarify if that was with the lid open.
Talking of lids, another nice touch is that the lid opens easily with one finger, without having to hold the base down - a maneouvre that's become known as the Ed test in our office, so much do i value this small usability consideration.
The keyboard, which is backlit, is excellent with a surprising lack of flex and a decent spring and break to the key action. It is of course shallow in its action but nonetheless we were up to full typing speed in an instant.
One area that is a bit of a let down is the touchpad, simply because it isn't of the single piece variety, as seen on Apple's laptops and the Samsung 9 and 7 Series laptops, that we've grown to like. Nonetheless, it does support multi-touch and the buttons are easy to locate and very responsive - there's no mushiness here.

Knowledge is Power....Sharing Knowledge is Freedom
Just thought I'd make a quick contribution here with a sort of innovative solution using the principles behind sites like this.
I was talking with a friend about how this very basic principle seems to fall by the wayside from time to time.
The idea behind the principle is that together sharing our individual knowledge we can all gain by what comes out of the result of that sharing.
Basically the sum is greater than the individual parts applied to knowledge.
I think a simple example of how this works for the internet would be the best way to get the idea across. I'll take a basic problem and show two routes to a solution, one without access to a lot of shared knowledge and one with access to that shared knowledge.
The Problem
OK, a neighbor of mine has a fish aquarium he built, it's quite a bit larger than the average aquarium you would normally purchase from the local pet shop. It's also stocked with a variety of fish, tropical and fresh water so the pool uses a heater. What has happened is that since the aquarium is larger, heated and has a variety of fish the waters PH level has gone up and now the water is turning cloudy and green from algae growth.
The tanks lights are being cycled off as per recommendation, so light is not the issue.
Without access to shared knowledge the first step to solve it would be to go to the local pet shop and ask for advice.
They would ask of course for a water sample first and then tell you to add a batch of expensive chemicals regularly while replacing at least a third of the tanks water.
This would not solve the problem.
Next they would ask what size your tank is and ask if you had any live plants. They would recommend changing the tanks filter to a larger one and some live plants and algae eaters to lower the PH in addition to another round of the chemicals. More $$$$.
This would help and the tank would be less green, but not permanently solve the problem. So back to the pet shop.
As a last resort they would suggest a powerhead pump and "biological" canister filter for the tank as well as the chemicals. Much more $$$$$$.
That solves the problem after spending about $500.00 and a monthly added expense for the aquarium of about $30.00.
Now let's try it with free access to knowledge via the internet.
With a fairly quick search you would find out that the algae making the tank water green is the result of inadequate filtration causing the nitrates level in the tank to be high enough to cause algae bloom.
With another quick search you would find out that you need a canister filter to solve the problem and you would find that the commercial solution is going to run you about $180.00 to set up and about $20.00 per month to maintain.
Here's where the real beauty of the principle steps up to be known.
A bit of quick reading during your searches would let you know that you just need a canister filter and a pump of some type. So with a little innovation you check around and find a small 60 GPM 12V bilge pump at Princess Auto for 14.95 to replace that expensive powerhead commercial pump from the pet store for $90.00. Now a look at Princess Auto again nets you an undersink drinking water cartridge filter for $27.00 replacing the commercial "biological" cartridge filter from the pet store for $90.00. Best yet they have the hose, ball valves and fittings you need for $15.00 more.
So instead of spending $180.00 for your canister filter system you spend $56.95 for a system that will clean up your tank crystal clear in under two weeks and where the filter is now good for 4 months or more reducing your filter maintenance cost to less than $2.00 per month.
This is just one problem where sharing knowledge can save you endlessly.
Keep up the good work here, you've got a great site.

HHHmmmmm. Where do I start? Well, my fist accident was in my mom's car. I was picking her up from work, and on the way home some old guy ran a stop sign. I lightly T-boned him, wasn't but $1200 in damage, and he paid. You old guys gotta watch those stop signs!!
Second was in my Ranger. Took a U-turn wide. As I was getting into the right lane, a Jeep went behind me. I was trying to get into the left lane, as I went for the left lane the Jeep was right there! I planted the front drivers side fender into his passenger doors. Best part was, it was his girlfriends car, she was in the pass. seat, she didn't have insurance. nor did he. Officer ran his license, came back that he had a warrent for his arrest in Fla, he got arrested, she got ticketed. I got a ticket for not yielding to a yellow light. Third was in my Ranger again. Was coming home from the Homer Regional Airport at 2:30 A.M. The road to/from the airport is all S-turns. I was being stupid and speeding. I was doing about 40-45MPH. I was doing it all right too, hitting the apex, accelerating out the turns, perfect shifting too. I came up on the last turn when my passenger (later to also be my flight instructor) said he saw headlights heading our way. As I went to get back onto the right side of the road I hit a huge patch of wet tar (it was also just begining to rain). The truck lost traction and acted as if it were on skates. I went straight off the road, down a small hill, and right into a tree!!!
. I centered up on it to, the oval was actually stuck to the tree!!! We pulled it out with my friends 4Runner, pulled the bumper off the tire with a chain and the 4Runner, and I drove it back to the airport where I left it for the night. I went back the next morning and stripped all the busted parts off and threw them in the back. I drove it busted for 2 months, when I "sold" it to the insurance company and got my 2001 Malibu. So far I have only had one fender bender with the Malibu. Nothing serious, just rear ended a F-150 on the interstate. Actually, I just clipped my right fender on the corner of his bumper. Had to put a new fender, headlight bracket and right hand side mirror on. I was quoted by a repair shop at $1306 for them to fix it. I fixed it myself for $400, including paint.
Man, going through all that, I need to learn to drive!!!!

Budget projects revenue at $149.6B
- worker remittances fell by US$141M
Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh is projecting current revenue of $149.6 billion this year compared to $135.7B last year.
In his budget presentation yesterday, he said that both of these figures were net of inflows from the Norwegian forest protection GRIF fund.
Singh said that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is expected to account for $135.3 billion of this year's projected current revenue. This is to be fuelled by an 8% rise in internal revenue collections to $55.8 billion from anticipated strong private sector performance at both the company and self-employed levels.
Value added and excise taxes are targeted to rise by 6.7% to $65.8 billion as a result of higher import levels. Non-tax revenue collections are expected to expand to $14.4 billion.
In 2013, tax revenue collections accounted for 93.3% of total current revenue collections or $126.5 billion and this was 6.9% above the 2012 figure. In 2013, internal revenue collection totalled $51.7 billion – 6.3% over the 2012 figure.
Personal income tax collection under Pay As You Earn fell in 2013 by $955.8 million or 5.9% as a result of the reduction in the personal income tax rate from 33.3% to 30% with effect from January, 2013. Customs and trade tax collections in 2013 were $13.2 billion – 2.4% higher.
The Value Added Tax collection amounted to $34.4 billion in 2013, 0.8% above the 2012 figure.
Total expenditure this year is projected to rise by 25.4% to $215.9 billion. This, Singh said, was mainly attributed to a $31 billion increase in capital expenditure as a result of the acceleration in key infrastructural projects such as the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri expansion project. The opposition is likely to seek to pare some of this expenditure over continuing concerns about transparency and the feasibility of some of these endeavours.
Singh said that the deficit of the central government is targeted at 4.9% of Gross Domestic Product in 2014 or $32.4 billion.
This year, the overall balance of payments is estimated to record a deficit of US$21.9 million compared to a deficit of US$119.5 million in 2013.
Merchandise imports declined last year by 7.5% to US$1.8 billion. Capital goods fell by 9.7% to US$415.2 million, non-fuel goods dropped by 3.3% to US$410.1 million, fuel and lubricants declined by 9.9% to US$547.7 million and consumption goods decreased by 6.1% to US$437.7 million.
Singh said that net current transfers fell by 15.7% in 2013 to US$353.2 million "due to lower receipts of worker remittances which declined by US$141.1 million to US$328.2 million". This has puzzled analysts in light of the economic recovery in remitting countries and the family-type remittances which generally don't reflect much change.
Net payment of services for 2013 amounted to US$307.1 million ranged against US$204.6 million in 2012 as a result of a US$107.1 million rise in non-factor services primarily due to higher royalties and licence fees.
The capital account for 2013 reflected a lower surplus of US$314.8 million compared to US$418.3 million mainly as a result of a drop in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Singh said that FDI in 2013 totalled US$214 million compared to US$293.7 million in 2012.
Gross international reserves at the Bank of Guyana totalled US$776.9 million at the end of 2013 or 3.9 months of imports.
In 2013, the weighted average lending rate of commercial banks rose by 8 basis points to 11.16%, a marginal rise from 11.08%. Nevertheless, Singh said that private sector credit continued to rise. The small savings rate dropped by 36 basis points to 1.33% while the 91-day Treasury Bill rate remained stable at 1.45%.
In terms of the exchange rate, Singh said that transactions on the market reduced by 5.8% to US$6.4 billion He said that "Key exchange rates remained stable throughout the year and, at the end of the year, the Guyana Dollar was being traded against the US Dollar at $206.25 compared to $204.5 a year ago". Analysts say in recent months there has been a noticeable decline in this rate and the selling rates have hovered around $209.
At end of last year, Singh said that Guyana's external debt stood at US$1.2 billion, a decline of 8.3% from 2012. He said that the drop was mainly as a result of government concluding two additional compensation agreements under the Venezuelan PetroCaribe rice barter deal which saw US$281.1 million of oil debt extinguished. Total external debt service in 2013 amounted to US$45.9 million or 7.9% over the 2012 figure. This comprised principal repayments of US$31.6 million and interest payments of US$14.3 million.
Singh revealed that earlier this month government concluded a deal for a 100% write-off of debt to the Caricom Multilateral Clearing Facility from the 1980s totalling US$35.9 million. There was also another debt compensation agreement this month under the PetroCaribe deal worth US$55.4 million.

I am finally parting with my Steffan BCWs. I bought them brand New in Germany and Shipped them to the states. This is very rare, I don't know of anyone in the US running 255/35/14. I know one other guy on this site claimed to have the only 14x10's in North America, but he was mistakenly informed. I believe his username was Tekken something. If I am not mistaken his fronts were 8.5 and I know he was not running 255's in the rear so I believe this to be the only North America set!!
I am asking $2500 obo The rims are in flawless condition minus one little chip on one, that not even to the metal.
front: 14x9 et 35 225/40/14
rear 14x10 et 08 255/35/14 : not a typo
Have all 4 Steffan Center caps
Also flat valve stems
Please don't waste my time with low balling.
Here are some pics I had of them floating around. I will go take close ups tomorrow or the next day. they are in the same shape, never curbbed, no road rash, or scrapes.

COPE supports the skill development of physiotherapists working at the Center of Medical Rehabilitation (CMR) and at the four Provincial Rehabilitation Centres. We currently provide training to a small group of physiotherapists, upgrading their existing knowledge and skills. The ultimate goal of the training is for each participant to eventually become a trainer of other physiotherapists in their specialist areas.
This Training of Trainers (ToTs) program is designed to empower local physiotherapists in their learning, making them sustainable sources of physiotherapy expertise in the future. The program was initiated in October 2009 by COPE and is being implemented by our Physiotherapy Mentor, an international member of the COPE team. The program components include workshop training on a variety of areas, one-on-one skills sessions, and support to individual ToT's to pass on the skills they have learnt in their own teams.
Mrs. Phetsany (below) is one of the dedicated physiotherapists at the CMR who, in her new role as a ToT, has held numerous training sessions with her team. She has been working as a physiotherapist for 14 years with the CMR in the Orthopaedic department. "I enjoy working with the patients. When they are getting better, I am very happy I can help," Mrs. Phetsany commented about her work. "Being on the ToT program has taught me many new things. I cannot help every patient as there is not enough time for me to do so, so it's important that I teach my team what I have learned. Now people value my opinion more. My team will come to me to exchange ideas about patients."
Mrs. Phetsany will continue to share her growing knowledge and skills with teams at the CMR and in the provinces. "I look forward to future opportunities as a ToT and plan to practice physiotherapy for a long time to come!"

Public broadcasting's ombudsman whacks Juan Williams re: Fox News
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
And this was before Williams' most recent, and dreadful, backstop appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, where he defended the host's wild and violent anti-abortion rhetoric and compared today's abortion crusaders with non-violent civil rights protesters from the 1950's.
Centrist Ken Bode recently wrote that he "cringed" and was "embarrassed" when he saw Williams on the program:
I admire Mr. Williams for his scholarly writing and his reporting on NPR. Fox News president Roger Ailes knows he is exploiting the credibility that Mr. Williams has built at NPR and carries with him to Fox. I wonder if Williams ever thinks that he is squandering a measure of that credibility by his continued appearances with Bill O'Reilly.
BTW, in the same column Bode, critiquing a recent PBS "NOW" program, was also quite clear about what he sees as O'Reilly's role in the assassination of abortion provider Dr. George Tiller:
Overall, the ["NOW"] program was strong and convincing on this point: radical, anti-abortion opponents, including Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, are guilty of promoting domestic terrorism. They always deny that their rhetoric promotes and condones the violence directed at doctors who are performing services protected under the law. However, little question remains from the reporting on "NOW" that they are guilty of inspiring the murderous outcomes they encourage.
