Marcia Merry Baker of Executive Intelligence Review has recently put together a food and agricultural crisis fact sheet, which we've been distributing far and wide, and into the congress.
In 1932, after several years of continued devastation through policies of austerity and deflation, a desperate President Hoover turned to the proposal of a Reconstruction Finance Corporation to aid in saving the United States from collapse. The RFC was a powerful institution of credit, but one which Hoover failed to understand. Instead of building out of the collapse, Hoover threw money at the banks and the banks in turn threw that money into speculation, further devastating the nation.
With the 1933 inauguration of Franklin Roosevelt, this situation rapidly changed. Armed with the RFC, Roosevelt wielded the power of public credit to transform the United States.

There is no way we can address a food crisis from the standpoint of only producing more food. It will require an upshift of the entire system, which means reviving the commitment to mankind's extraterrestrial existence.
Marcia Merry Baker, Agricultural Economist with Executive Intelligence Review, details several aspects of the food crisis: the dismal harvest; the impact of this on our livestock herds; the Obama administration policy of bio fuels and nutrition reduction; and steps we could take before it is too late.

Thomasville, GA- More than 70 horses were seized in an animal cruelty investigation earlier this year. The animals' new caretakers need some help now too.
"Of course our first thought is we just want to cry and we want to get mad, but we can't do that. We know we have a job to do," said Anne Campbell, the Vice President of Dancing Cloud Farm House Rescue.
The once malnourished horses arrived at the Rescue in February 2012 after the Thomas County Sheriff's Office seized them from Rebecca Bannister's residence.
"A body score of a horse goes from one to 10, one being the worst; some of these horses were a .75, below a one, almost to the point where they wouldn't have lasted a couple more days," explained Pat Smith, the Director of Animal Control.
Bannister's trial for animal cruelty and theft keeps getting delayed which means the Rescue must keep the horses longer than expected.
The cost to care for the horses is quickly adding up. Right now, caretakers say they spend about $500 a week just to feed the horses. They worry once the donations run out, they won't know what to do.
"We desperately need good quality hay and we need feed, especially for the older horses. They can't be sustained through the winter on just hay and it's scary when you get low and you don't know where the next roll is coming from."
"We would just really appreciate anybody that has some hay or a little bit of money to spare to donate to a good cause, to Dancing Cloud," added Smith.

Sources with Likud say they made it clear to Yair Lapid that Foreign Ministry is to remain in Likud-Beiteinu hands; party reports finance portfolio to go to Bennett
Yuval Karni
Published: 03.05.13, 21:09 / Israel News
Yuval Karni
Sources with the Likud-Beiteinu
said Tuesday evening that Yesh Atid
was offered the Finance Ministry.
Meanwhile, the sources stressed that they made it clear to Lapid that the Foreign Ministry,
which he has apparently demanded, will remain in Likud-Beiteinu hands.
Related stories:
It has been revealed that Lapid and Netanyahu held a meeting Friday, though no details about its content were released.
Lapid commented on the issue, saying: "There are a few issues which are still waiting to be resolved. We need to remember that Israeli
politics is a politics of surprise.
"Nonetheless, I hope that together with the prime minister and other potential partners we will be able to successfully form a stable and promising coalition that will be able to properly focus on what is best for the country and not what is best for the politicians during the next four-five years working to better the lives of Israeli citizens."
Yesterday, a source close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
said that the prime minister was "leaning towards giving Avigdor Lieberman
the Foreign Affairs portfolio, the finance portfolio to either (Yair) Lapid or (Naftali) Bennett, while (Moshe) Ya'alon
was the leading candidate for the role of defense minister."
On Monday it was reported that Bennett, the chairman of the Habayit Hayehudi
party, is demanding the finance portfolio, while Yesh Atid leader Lapid reiterated his demand to be appointed foreign minister.
Regarding the Finance Ministry, a Likud source cynically noted that "if Bennett and Lapid get along so well, I'm sure they will reach an agreement between them and not fight over the portfolio."
According to assessments, Lapid is not interested in the Finance Ministry and hence it will go to Bennett.

I have a confession. Up until about two weeks ago I had never tried ribs. For some reason, I thought they were just bones with a tiny bit of meat and some sauce on them. What really could be so special? But, people are talking about how much they love ribs all the time. I really was starting to feel left out. Had everyone else in the whole world really tried ribs? Was I the only person who was left? I decided that it was time to try ribs. I wanted to make my own so I could use my own flavor combinations.
I started at the butcher counter. I asked about different kinds of ribs and how they work. After a few giggles, I was directed towards baby back pork ribs. They said that as long as I cook them at a low temperature and used a sauce that I liked, they would be good. Really they are no fail. I decided to use the oven then grill method that I read about on about a million websites. From there, I took all my knowledge from my research and created a rub to start cooking.
So ribs are pretty delicious and they have a lot more meat than I thought. Plus, who doesn't love caramelized barbecue sauce anyway?I have to say, I see what all the fuss is about. Sticky, sweet, tangy, meaty. A great grilled/oven meal. Perfect for father's day. Plus, if you make the rub, you can use the leftover rub for the sauce. Easy.

Due, in part, to the
anticipated construction of the school's new baseball stadium in the northwest
corner of the football facility's primary parking lot,
The parking reconfiguration
is designed to allow football season ticket-holders a chance to alter the
location of their reserved donor parking space closer to a preferred
entrance/exit, as well as provide donors an opportunity to change locations
near other patrons of their choice. In addition, the changes are designed to
accommodate as many season ticket-holders as possible while minimizing the effects
of an estimated decrease of an estimated 500 parking spaces resulting from the
new baseball facility.
All letters mailed to ticket
holders and DAF members outlining the new parking policies were accompanied by
a football donor parking request form that must be returned to the Athletic
Department's ticket office no later than
Patrons with questions or anyone who did not receive a
2008 football donor parking request form are encouraged to call the Duck
Athletic Fund Office at (541) 346-5433.
Donor Parking access will be
divided into two categories: Reserved Donor Parking (formerly Priority 1) and
General Admission Donor Parking (formerly Priority 2).
Highlighting the changes are
the following:
- Reserved Donor Parking provides donors with designated spaces in Autzen Stadium lots, which are reserved regardless of arrival time.
- General Admission Donor Parking provides donors access to a designated Autzen Parking Lot on a first-come, first-served basis and does not guarantee space availability, with approximately only 400-600 General Admission Donor Parking spaces available.
- The minimum donation level for Reserved Donor Parking is $3,500 per space for cars, $5,000 per space for Reserved Donor RVs.
- Requests for GA Donor Parking passes will be filled on a DAF priority point order.
- Multiple Reserved Donor Parking spaces may be requested based on the following formula – 1 parking space per 2 season tickets accompanied by the qualifying donation amount (i.e. - 2 Reserved Donor Car Parking spaces with the purchase of 4 season tickets and a minimum $7,000 donation, etc.).
- A limit of one GA Donor Parking pass will be allowed per donor account.
- General Admission Donor Parking for RVs will no longer be available in order to accommodate the largest number of vehicles possible.
- General Admission Donor Parking pass will no longer be available to Reserved Parking account holders due to limited space availability.
Again, all season
ticket-holders and donors must complete a 2008 Football Donor Parking Request

Abraham Lincoln is a very important historical figure that many elementary grades study as part of our American hertiage. A Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln by David Adler is a book to use with the lower grades when studying Abraham Lincoln and his importance to American history. The book includes the major life events and contributions of Lincoln. Adler uses just the right amount of details and texts for the younger grades to understand. The illustrations are simple and colorful to hold a child's attention. The reader will need to be prepared to explain to young children some of the events Adler explains in the book and the illustrations that the Wallner's depict in their pictures. For example, the shooting of President Lincoln and the auctioning of a slave standing in chains. The last page of the book offers a short time line of important events in Lincoln's life.
Curriculum Connections
A Picture Book of Abraham Lincon is a good picture book to use as part of a civics lesson related to famous Americans. It is an easy book for children to understand American history from this time period. In Virgina, this book relates to social studies Civics SOL 2.11. It would also be appropriate to use in kindergarten and first grade when studying about historical accounts of Abraham Lincoln.

Spread the Wilm marketing campaign targets residents, tourists
Published: Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 11:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 11:10 a.m.
They're no Ellen Degeneres, but to be part of the new spread the Wilm campaign a roomful of business officials and city leaders posed for a selfie Tuesday morning.
The pictures, which would eventually be spread on social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook, are part of a marketing campaign from the Wilmington and Beaches Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"It's a little quirky, but we're hoping that's going to catch on," Kim Hufham, the president of the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority, said of the YouTube video created to promote the initiative.
In the video, a "film director" scouts various regions of New Hanover County, including downtown Wilmington, Fort Fisher, Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach, for a movie he's considering.
Throughout the clip, various children pepper in tourism facts about the region.
Information included is that in 2012 tourism raked in roughly $460 million to the region and that the area ranked ninth out of the state's 100 counties for tourism dollars.
The end of the movie features local well-known residents who do their best to encourage visitors to see the Port City and the outlying region. And to, ultimately, spread the Wilm.
The StarNews' own Si Cantwell was one of those residents.
The video is only one facet of the marketing campaign, which targets both local residents and tourists.
Hufham said the campaign will be driven by what has already become popular for tourists researching any possible destination: the Internet.
"We want people to have a one-of-a-kind experience and then share that," she said.
It's become commonplace in vacation planning to visit websites like Yelp, Trip Advisor or similar sites to read consumer reviews before booking anything.
Those reviews, Hufham said, could be a driving force for the campaign.
"The better a destination looks, the more opportunities for people to share," she said.
There are dangers to having a campaign based-on the interaction of others though, Hufham admits. That's why the tourism community will re-energize the effort as needed.
"That's why it is very important we do an aggressive public relations campaign," Hufham said. "That's why we have a tool kit available."
The tool kit is available online and includes the YouTube video and printable signage local businesses can post to help promote the e-based initiative.

Chris Paul's running bank shot with a tenth of a second left gave the Los Angeles Clippers a 93-91 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies and a 2-0 lead in their first-round Western Conference playoff series.
LOS ANGELES — Chris Paul's running bank shot with a tenth of a second left gave the Los Angeles Clippers a 93-91 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night and a 2-0 lead in their first-round Western Conference series.
Both teams stayed on the court while the referees reviewed the play. It was declared good, leaving Memphis a tick of the clock to inbound the ball but not enough to get off a final shot.
Paul finished with 24 points and nine assists and Blake Griffin added 21 points and eight rebounds.
Paul carried the Clippers in the final 3:46, scoring eight straight points, including a basket that gave them a 91-89 lead with 1:20 to play.

Mike Conley scored a career playoff-high 28 points while leading the Grizzlies' fourth-quarter charge that came up short.
Conley found Marc Gasol alone in the paint and the big man dunked to tie the score at 91-all with 13 seconds left.
The Clippers won a jump ball, but Paul missed a three-pointer. He redeemed himself and set off a raucous reaction when he fought off Tony Allen's defense and banked in the winner from 4 feet.
"Chris has done this his whole career, especially since he's been here the last couple of seasons," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "I have incredible confidence in him at the end of games."
Gasol added 17 points, Allen had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Zach Randolph had 13 points while racking up five fouls for the second straight game.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Thursday in Memphis.
Bulls get even with Nets
NEW YORK — The criticism flew fast and furious, the obituaries started to take shape and the Chicago Bulls reacted the way they often do when faced with adversity.
They looked inward. They challenged themselves to play with more intensity and aggressiveness. And they didn't merely circle the wagons; they walled off the lane.
Swarming and double-teaming guard Deron Williams at virtually every opportunity, the vaunted Bulls defense returned. Chicago downed the Brooklyn Nets 90-82 at Barclays Center to even their best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series at a game apiece.
Game 3 is Thursday in Chicago.
The Luol Deng impostor who got dominated by Brooklyn's Gerald Wallace in the opener disappeared, replaced by a more aggressive version who scored 15 points for the Bulls. Joakim Noah again battled his way through plantar fasciitis, contributing 11 points and 10 rebounds.
After repeatedly beating the Bulls in pick-and-roll situations in Game 1, Williams didn't make his first and only field goal until midway through the third quarter. He finished with eight points on 1-for-9 shooting and 10 assists.
"I've got to do a better job of everything, really," Williams said. "This was a bad one for me."
• J.R. Smith of the New York Knicks was voted the league's Sixth Man of the Year.
Smith received 484 points, including 72 first-place votes, in balloting by a 121-person media panel. The Clippers' Jamal Crawford, a graduate of Rainier Beach High School in Seattle, was second with 352 points and 31 first-place votes.
Crawford said he and Smith exchanged congratulatory texts. Crawford won the award for the 2009-10 season, when he played for Atlanta.

What is the role of advance care planning and timing of referral for patients with lung cancer?
Palliative care is appropriate for all people facing life threatening disease, though in practice in Australia, most services are directed toward people with life limiting/terminal disease. While most studies reviewed to create the palliative care section are derived from studies relating to patients with NSCLC, it is likely that the themes and concepts are broadly applicable to those with SCLC.
Metastatic lung cancer is a leading cause of death. In 2009, it was the leading cause of cancer deaths in Australian men and women and was responsible for the deaths of 7,786 Australians, making it the fourth leading cause of death.[1] The prognosis after the diagnosis of stage IV (metastatic) lung cancer has been estimated to be less than one year.[2] Due to the high mortality rate, the rapidity of disease progression which is sometimes seen, as well as late presentation and co-morbidities, questions regarding timing of referral to palliative care along with questions regarding advance care planning are highly relevant to this patient group.
Timing of referral
There has been debate over the optimal time of referral to palliative care for patients diagnosed with advanced cancer, including patients with stage IV lung cancer. Temel et al[2] conducted a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to answer this question comparing early referral to palliative care (within eight weeks of diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC) to usual care (including referral to palliative care when requested by patient, family or treating oncologist). Patients who were referred early to palliative care had better quality of life (QOL) assessed 12 weeks after referral, and the improvement in their QOL was both statistically and clinically significant. In addition, patients referred to palliative care early were more likely to have their wishes with respect to resuscitation documented, had less depression and were less likely to receive aggressive care at the end of life . Furthermore, those who were referred early lived an average of 2.7 months longer than those who received usual care. A survival benefit for patients with lung cancer referred to palliative care earlier was also found in a study which extracted data from a large US database and found longer survival for patients referred to hospice than those not referred.[3]
Advance care planning
Advance care planning (ACP) is a patient centred process in which patients, in consultation with family members and health care providers, make decisions regarding their future health care known should they later become incapable of expressing such preferences.[4] The process of advance care planning usually occurs over a series of conversations, rather than being a single 'one off' event. Reviewing patients priorities and preferences as their illness progresses is almost always appropriate.[5] Given the poor prognosis of stage IV inoperable lung cancer such discussions would appear to be highly relevant. This type of discussion requires effective communications skills, and guidance regarding these skills may be found in some excellent Australian clinical practice guidelines.[6]
Efficacy and acceptability of advance care planning
One randomised controlled trial has assessed the efficacy and acceptability of ACP in Australian populations.[4] This study randomised elderly, hospitalised inpatients with non malignant disease to an ACP intervention facilitated by a specially trained health care professional. It found patients who completed ACP were more likely to have their preferences known and respected at end of life. Importantly, patients who were randomised to the ACP arm of this trial reported higher levels of satisfaction with care for the inpatient episode in which the ACP occurred. In addition, lower levels of distress and depression were reported by family members of patients who died after completing ACP than those who did not participate in ACP. Qualitative research where patients were interviewed regarding their experience of undertaking ACP discussions confirms that the process of ACP is acceptable to patients.[7]
Need for advance care planning
Good health care can only be achieved when clinicians and patients share a common understanding of the patients' illness, prognosis and preferences. Information regarding prognosis is highly valued by patients and their families,[8] however, with respect to lung cancer, clinicians may not adequately communicate prognosis.[9] Patients with other solid malignancies tend to overestimate their prognosis, however this issue has not been addressed in patients with lung cancer.[10] In addition, patients often overestimate the probability of success of aggressive interventions like CPR and may not understand the role of such interventions in the context of their advanced cancer.[11][12][13]
A minority of patients with advanced lung cancer have had discussions regarding resuscitation status with their clinicians.[14][15] A substantial proportion of those who have not discussed their preferences would like to do so, but cite lack of initiation of these discussions by health care practitioners as a major barrier.[16][12] When patients have not completed an advance care plan their next of kin may not fully understand their wishes.[12] In contrast, when advance care directives have been completed, bereaved family members report it was helpful in guiding care prior to death.[17] In addition, there is a mismatch between doctors' perceptions of patients' preferences with respect to CPR, as well as other life sustaining interventions, and their patients' actual preferences.[18][19] Finally, there is evidence to suggest that referral to palliative care at the time of diagnosis increases the likelihood of documenting patients' wishes with respect to resuscitation and avoiding aggressive care at end of life.[2]
Process of advance care planning
Initiating and facilitating discussions with patients and their families is a complex communication task for which some excellent Australian clinical practice guidelines exist.[6] It is important to emphasise that ACP is a process rather than a single conversation, and the involvement of loved ones is almost always appropriate.[5]
A systematic review examining patient preferences with respect to end of life discussions found that patients and their care givers want honest information delivered with sensitivity and hope, but without jargon by a trusted health professional.[8] They value compassion, care and empathy in the delivery of this type of information.[8] However, the information needs of patients and their care givers may vary over time, with patients preferring less information as death approaches and care givers desiring more, reinforcing the need to regularly ask patients and loved ones if they would like to re-explore these issues.[8] In addition, there are cultural factors which may impact on information needs and some patients with lung cancer experience stigma which complicate communication and information needs.[20]
There is marked variation between individuals in terms of their information needs and decision making preferences. These need to be respected for successful ACP. A Belgian study reported that patients with advanced lung cancer had diverse opinions regarding what they wanted to know, who should be involved in discussions and whom they thought should be involved in making decisions at end of life.[21] Some patients prefer to almost unilaterally make their own decisions while others prefer medical staff to have ultimate decision making authority.[21] In addition, a patients religious or spiritual beliefs may influence their desire to participate in ACP, with one study suggesting that those who were more reliant on spiritual coping were less likely to engage in ACP discussions.[22] Taken together, this evidence suggests the importance of exploring patient understanding and preferences as well as the importance communication skills which use obtaining permission before delving further into these areas.
In terms of the tools to assist ACP, an Australian randomised controlled trial found that the provision of a prompt list to patients increased both the number of questions asked and the number of topics covered in prognostic and end of life discussions,[23] suggesting a role for similar tools in ACP. As mentioned above, patients tend to overestimate the likelihood of success of life sustaining interventions like CPR.[13] Relatively simple educational tools which describe the success rate of CPR via the use of a written scenario have been shown to be effective in reducing patient preference for this type of intervention.[11] When decisions to limit life prolonging interventions are made, it is important to then emphasise the care that will be provided to the patient in their routine care as well as during the process of dying.[24] As with all medical care, it is important to document the outcomes of these types of discussions.
Evidence summary and recommendations
|Evidence summary
|The evidence suggests that referral to palliative care at the time of diagnosis of metastatic lung cancer is associated with better outcomes in terms of quality of life, survival and aggressiveness of care at the end of life.
|Evidence-based recommendation
|It is recommended to refer patients with stage IV inoperable NSCLC to palliative care at the time of diagnosis of metastatic disease.
|Evidence summary
|The evidence suggests that advance care planning is effective and acceptable to Australian populations. The benefits of completing ACP include higher rates of preferences known and respected at end of life, higher patient and family satisfaction and lower rates of family distress and depression.
|Evidence-based recommendation
|Advance care planning discussions should be initiated with patients, as there are multiple benefits.
|Evidence summary
|The evidence suggests that there is a need for patient centred advance care planning to address the gaps between clinician and patient expectation and to better understand patients' preferences.
|[2], [14], [15], [16], [12], [17], [18], [19]
|Evidence-based recommendation
|Clinicians may explore patients' understanding of their health situation and offer to provide further information about their prognosis and to explore the patients' goals/priorities/fears and concerns about the future.
|Evidence summary
|The evidence suggests that in the area of prognostic and end of life communication, the provision of a prompt list increases the number of questions asked and the number of topics discussed.
|Evidence-based recommendation
|It is recommended to offer the opportunity to discuss advance care plans with patients and their care givers using communication strategies tailored to individual needs, with the assistance of simple tools, like a prompt list, where appropriate.
|Practice point
If appropriate or necessary to discuss specific treatment options (e.g. CPR), first check the person's understanding of the likely outcomes then provide clarification as needed.
|Practice point
If the decision is made to limit life prolonging treatment (e.g. CPR/ ICU level care etc), emphasise other care and support that will be given to patients, such as other appropriate medical care, symptom directed care and care during the dying process.

Capacitors vs. batteries
Will the system work as described if the batteries are replaced with capacitors? One of the capacitors would need to be fully charged initially to function as the "input battery". If the system works as stated, the second, uncharged, capacitor will function as the "output battery". Switching the capacitors would follow the same procedure as switching the batteries. A successful test using capacitors instead of batteries should do even more to remove doubt regarding the validity of the system.

YRC takes steps in right direction with second quarter earnings results
August 03, 2012
Based on today's second quarter earnings announcement from less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services provider YRC Worldwide, business conditions are continuing to gradually improve for the Overland Park, Kan.-based carrier.
YRC reported that its quarterly consolidated operating revenue—at $1.251 billion—was down 0.5 percent annually. And consolidated operating income came in at $15.5 million and included a $6.5 million gain on asset disposals. YRC officials said this is the first time since the third quarter of 2008 the company has reported income from operations—except for the second quarter of 2010, which included an $83 million non-cash reduction to its equity-based compensation expense—which is another step in the right direction for the company, which has lost more than 2.6 billion in the last five years.
Quarterly EBITDA at $70.1 million was up $5.6 million over $64.5 million in the second quarter of 2011.
"Our focused approach to pricing discipline, customer mix management and cost initiatives has driven year-over-year improvement in our business, which is reflected in our operating income," said James Welch, chief executive officer of YRC Worldwide, in a statement. "We are producing results slightly ahead of our forecast, despite the recently softening economy, and remain focused on executing our operations and sales strategies at all operating companies. We continue to be committed to delivering consistent, high-quality and cost-effective service for our customers and value for our stakeholders."
Operating revenue for YRC Regional Transportation, improved by 7.0 percent to $429.8 million. Tonnage per day was up 4.4 percent year-over-year, shipments per day were up 2.5 percent, revenue per hundredweight was up 2.4 percent, and revenue per shipment was up 4.3 percent.
At YRC Freight, which was re-named from YRC National Transportation in early February, operating revenue dipped 0.7 percent to $821.1 million. Daily tonnage was up 3.3 percent and revenue per hundredweight was up 2.9 percent. Daily shipments were up 4.3 percent, and revenue per shipment was up 1.7 percent.
Welch said that YRC Freight is actively managing its customer mix with improved pricing discipline, which is paying off in both sequential and annual improvements even though operating revenue was down slightly. He added that the unit is increasing efficiencies in its network and improving customer service through significant enhancements to increase the speed in its more than 24,000 lanes within its North America-based LTL network.
Pricing discipline is continuing to take hold in the LTL sector. As LM has reported, a common theme for LTL carriers during earnings season is revenue per shipment is on the rise in tandem with pricing gains.

Please be aware that the pictures for this campground on the internet are completely different that what you will see. The campground is very small and there are mostly cabins and very old ratty permanent campers here. There are very few sites for rvs. The stream is about 2 inches deep and fishing is not going to happen. The sewer hook ups for all the sites are at the front door of the next camper, so you will smell sewer gas the whole visit. There are also campsites in front of others on the creek, so this could lead to people getting blocked in. The campsites are just poorly laid out with very little room. There are just better options. We will not stay here again. For the price, there are just better options. The owners are very nice and they have taken over this campground for about a year. There is just too much work that still needs to be done. The sewer system is unacceptable. You've been warned. - 30-30man

Just a few minutes before hundreds of guests attending the General Assembly session at Bath School were about to sit down to a barbecue lunch, a huge tent blew over. Officials say no one was injured, but the meal was moved inside to the school's gymnasium.

Buchanan Lake Lake Getaways
When you choose a Lake Buchanan vacation home rental, you'll be situated on one of the beautiful Highland Lakes of Texas Hill Country. The centrally located lake is about 95 miles north of San Antonio, within proximity of Dallas and 60 miles northwest of Austin. Plus, the mild climate makes choosing a Lake Buchanan home a great choice, no matter the season.
Lake Buchanan is the second largest of the Highland Lakes and a great place to find a vacation home rental where you'll have activity packed days and restful nights. The lake covers 22,333 surface acres, is 30 miles long, and has 124 miles of shoreline. It's a popular destination for boating, sailing, fishing, and swimming. The lake has an excellent population of striped bass and catfish. Every April there is a regatta and Dam Jam, a live music event.

ThinSight is a novel optical sensing system, fully integrated into a thin form factor display, capable of detecting multiple objects such as fingertips placed on or near the display surface. We describe this new hardware, and demonstrate how it can be embedded behind a regular LCD, allowing sensing without compromising display quality. Our aim is to capture rich sensor data through the display, which can be processed using computer vision techniques to enable interaction via multi-touch and physical objects. A major advantage of ThinSight over existing camera and projector based optical systems is its compact, low profile form factor making such interaction techniques more practical and deployable in real-world settings.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Shahram Izadi and Steve Hodges and Alex Butler and Alban Rrustemi and Bill Buxton}, booktitle = {EDT '07: Proceedings of the 2007 workshop on Emerging displays technologies}, isbn = {978-1-59593-669-1}, month = {March}, pages = {6}, publisher = {ACM}, title = {ThinSight: integrated optical multi-touch sensing through thin form-factor displays}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=79556}, year = {2007}, }

Mail: City's plan almost worked
- 19 February 2014 07:43
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
The morning after the night before and the post-mortem of City's defeat to Barcelona has now been carried out.
Most journalists concentrate on the moment that changed the game and whether the referee was correct to award a penalty – Martin Demichelis' red card was unanimously backed in the Press.
We'll begin with Marti Keown's verdict on the tactics the Blues employed. In his Daily Mail column, the former Arsenal star writes: "It was interesting to see Pellegrini play both Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov down the left. It was a clear sign of the respect he was showing to Barcelona.
With Dani Alves and Alexis Sanchez playing down that side, he wanted to make sure they stifled that threat and, until the last minute when Barca scored as City chased the game, they did well
...Martin Keowm...
So did the Swedish referee get the big decisions right? While City boss Manuel Pellegrini believes he didn't, former ref Graham Poll believes he did.
Still with the Mail, Poll writes: "Barcelona's penalty was rightly awarded. Perhaps referee Jonas Eriksson missed a foul by Sergio Busquets on Jesus Navas before the Barca attack, but these things happen in football.
"What cannot be disputed is that Demichelis fouled Lionel Messi fully in the knowledge that the Argentine was through and would most likely have scored. It was a clear red card.
"There was a question over the exact position of the foul. I was taught that experienced defenders make last ditch tackles knowing they are just outside the area.
"However, in my opinion contact continued until at least the line marking the penalty area and further, meaning awarding a penalty was a correct decision.
"If there is doubt then a referee should give it outside. You can't guess a penalty. Eriksson must have been sure and if you look at the foul from the assistant referee's position, he will have seen contact had occurred inside."
Perhaps the Navas foul was missed? Considering what followed in the ensuing play, that may have been the key decision in what had been a close affair up to that point, rather than the Demichelis foul and dismissal.
In the Express, John Dillon believes Barca were good, but they weren't as good as the team managed by their former coach Pep Guardiola.
Writes Dillon: "Put it this way. Ask Manchester City's fans if it will be Barcelona or Bayern Munich who will win the Champions League and the prediction will be that German beer will flow in Lisbon in May
"There is a daunting task facing City in the Nou Camp now after Dani Alves late second goal finally enabled Barca to exploit the fact that they played against 10 men for half an hour.
"But it's true. Reports of the demise of the grand Catalan caravan of delights have not been exaggerated. Barcelona are not what they were.
"There were glimpses of the old confident and masterful grandeur here; in the first 20 minutes and then again after the dismissal of Demichelis. There were still signs of that familiar, transfixing ability to pull opposition sides apart at the seams.
"For this night at least, though, it inspired merely respect rather than awe. Nothing in football lasts forever."
An early goal for City in the return leg may well test out Dillon's theory further…

Hi MTBers,
Replaced my Level Betty's 2.1'' tires (because sidewalls splitting) with WTB Weirwolf 2.5 tires (35-65 psi). Noticeable difference on loose gravel, but haven't used much yet.
What's been your experiences with wide tires?
Hi MTBers,
Replaced my Level Betty's 2.1'' tires (because sidewalls splitting) with WTB Weirwolf 2.5 tires (35-65 psi). Noticeable difference on loose gravel, but haven't used much yet.
What's been your experiences with wide tires?
slower while climbing, but very nice coming back down. a little heavier, to a lot heavier, depending on what tire you choose. the smallest tire i run is a 2.25" IRC Trailbear. the largest for me is a tie between an intense 909 2.7" and a Specialized Evil Twin 2.6" a few in between. i think the lightest is about 720gms, and the heaviest is nearly exactly twice that. My norm is to run a DH dual ply tire in the rear, and something a bit lighter/wider up front. Personal fav combo right now is a Maxxis Mobster 2.5" 60da DH in the rear, and a 2.4" Panaracer Fire FR up front. The 2.4" tire is actually *slightly* larger than the 2.5"Originally Posted by Al K
on slow speed technical rock crawling, big, fat tires with low PSI, uh, well, rock. i can run some of my largest tires at </=20PSI and not have any problems. very nice on long descents/lift runs. or for running the large fatties on the front of my rigid SS. two of my rides are hardtails, and running fat tires on the backs of those is a nice thing.
as a general rule, the larger the tire, the lower the pressure you can run without worrying about pinch flatting. very nice feature, especially if you still like to run tubes instead of tubeless.
unless you are racing, or are a total weight weenie, go for the big meats. for the once in a while race, i through on some 2.1 panaracer Fire XC Pros.
a few examples. the Specy2.6, the Pana 2.4, the IRC 2.25.

I believe the clouds in my coffee more than the weatherman on t.v.
i'm also running the weirwolf 2.5's. they work well for me. lots of grip. i feel confident rolling over rocks and roots not having to worry as much about pinch flats because they're burly.
Mine have been really good to me, me I use a 26x2.7 Maxxis Minion DHF on the front and a 26x2.35 Minion DHR. When I'm not riding street or dirt jumping.
Most of the trails I ride are a lot of XC trails connecting some "play" areas. So I tend to run a max width of 2.4 in front and a slightly narrower (due to frame clearance) of 2.25 to 2.3 in the rear.
I play around with a wider tire in front, but since I'm restricted to a 2.3 in the back I don't want there to be a HUGE disparity between front and back.

"Your Bike Sucks" - Sky Yaeger
I run the same as a2 on my trail and my djer. To be honest you don't need a big tire in the back in my experience. In the front on both I run a 2.5 or 2.7. It hooks up better and just feels better when hitting the rough stuff
On my dh bike its another story. 2.7 front and back
26x2.5 kend nevegal/blugroove combination. they dont roll relly fast but theyre really grippy even in mud and snow. its really nice having the wide tires. More SA=more traction

There are some good announcers working the circuit these days, but the gold standard is still Jeff Roake who has suffered two strokes and is no longer able to announce races.
In his prime, he sounded like this.
Also note that that's a Huber Flyer that I describe in a recent book. He would attack at the bell, and no one could catch him. Great move if you're not blessed with a sprint.
By the way, he was in the drops.
