I am having a problem with an odor coming from the kitchen sink. It is also in the cabinet under and next to the sink. There is a garbage diposal attached to the sink. I'm going to call a plumber tomorrow. Is this a common problem? Any idea if it could be the trap or the diposal.
There are a number of reasons you can get an odor from a kitchen sink. One is a trap is loosing its seal everytime it is used. This happens because either the vent is clogged on the kitchen sink, or there is no vent. Every time you put water into the sink, it has to push the air ahead of it, because they both take up space. As the water in the trap develops a syphon, it pushes the air ahead of it down the drain. If the vent is clogged, it creates a vacuum after the water passes with has to be refilled with air. If it can't take it from the roof, then it will take it from the garbage disposal. So what has this to do with odor? Well the air that it draws in from the kitchen sink (rather than the roof) completely sucks the trap dry. Every trap is supose to have a cup of water in the bottom, that prevents air from coming back up from the sewer system. With no water in the U-shaped bowl of the trap, sewer gas is free to come back up into the home.
Another odor from kitchen sinks is mold, which can take place inside walls behind cabinets.
Good Luck

Boise State may be a mere seven point underdog to Michigan State Friday night-- but I have found NO ONE-- absolutely NO ONE-- who predicts Boise to beat the Spartans. Boise is 6-0 in opening games under coach Chris Peterson-- does that mean Boise is due? Due to keep winning its opener or due to finally lose and the Spartans are there to make that happen?
And as far as Michigan goes, the Wolverines might as well not even show up in Dallas to play Alabama Saturday night. Other than Brady Hoke, no one I find even thinks Michigan will make much of a game of it against the Crimson Tide. Alabama coach Nick Saban is saying all the right things about Michigan but he also says his team has prepared well for the game.
Does that mean upsets will occur? What's a bigger upset, Boise or Michigan? Obviously Michigan since the Wolverines are 13-point underdogs. I somehow think both games will be close. Stay tuned.

Not Worth It
This review is from: Lenmar Replacement Battery for BlackBerry Phones (PDABCS2)
Pros: Fit my Blackberry
Cons: Only lasts a day, my old 4 dollar fleabay battery lasts that long and it's been used for over 2 years now. I paid 12 bucks expecting something decent. not the case for this product

Deceiving Picture
This review is from: Lenmar Replacement Battery for BlackBerry Phones (PDABCS2)
Pros: NewEgg is wonderful, the absolute best source for almost anything a tech nut could want, and even better, their support and courtesy, and most of all, respect of their customers puts them over the top! Even if a price here and there may be a few dollars more--I will still buy from NewEgg. The Pro comment on this item is that I received it in a timely fashion form NewEgg, thanks guys.
Cons: The battery I received is not the same one in the pic, it's a bit thinner and not blue/white that is trying to mirror the OEM battery when actually it's all black and a knock-off of lesser quality. The battery I replaced in my Blackberry 8300 would charge up nice and fast, like it did when new, however wound get close to 50% by next day with only making about 6 short calls. It's already about 3 yrs old!!! And still working. The replacement I received however, takes about 1.5 hours to charge and it starts to loose charge without even using the phone and by the next day, its 50% gone. I have tested a new OEM Blackberry battery I borrowed form a friend....will last 3 to 4 days with normal use of about 10 to 15 calls per day and still have about 50% charge. I am not going to bother NewEgg with an RMA on this, the 12 dollars is not worth my time but it was worth 12 dollars to get educated on batteries. I will look for an OEM with same specs and pay the extra few dollars.

Doesn't Fit 8530
This review is from: Lenmar Replacement Battery for BlackBerry Phones (PDABCS2)
Pros: Cheap price
Cons: Battery fit is too loose in Curve 8530. Will not touch contacts w/o modification even though Lenmar's website says it replaces the original C-S2.
Other Thoughts: 1/16" shorter that original equip C-S2 Battery. I might be able to shim it in, but I shouldn't have to.

Newegg selling the wrong battery for the Blackberry Pearl 8100
This review is from: Lenmar Replacement Battery for BlackBerry Phones (PDABCS2)
Pros: Lenmar PDABCS2 Replacement Battery for BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Series - Retail
Cons: Does not work in the Blackberry Pearl, the Blackberry says it's the wrong battery. I tried to cancel the order a full 12 hours before it shipped. No refunds o batteries. I guess I'm stuck with a brand new totally useless battery.

From the 2010 LPQ Archive
Drive-By Truckers bring their deep and soulful country rock sounds to our little fest along with the release of their new album, The Big To Do. I was lucky enough to rope Patterson Hood into doing The LP Questionnaire and Pick Three.
Hood, a 45-year old Aries, loves movies, songs and vinyl (records, I'm assuming). He's foul mothed but happy and describes himself as a "storyteller, guitar player, dancer."
And look how cute young Patterson was! I think that's one of my favorite parts about doing these features... seeing the informal photox people come up with. This one's a gem.
You can catch Drive-By Truckers on Thursday, March 18 at 10.30 at Stubb's. I know I state the obvious but their show with Band of Horses and Broken Social Scene promises to be one of the highlights of SXSW.
Now, have a gander at the F-word laced LP Questionnaire and Pick Three of Mr. Patterson Hood. It's a goodie.
The LP Questionnaire
Name: Patterson Hood
Pro Wrestling Name: Cardiac Sweet Cakes. I like that. I'm going to ask Cooley to start referring to me as Cardiac Sweet Cakes.
1. Pretend you're 15. Name three songs you'd put on a mix tape for your girlfriend/boyfriend. Girls didn't like me when I was 15 (in 1979 Goddammit!). But my imaginary girlfriend (her name was probably Stacy or perhaps Stacey) would be all worked up by my grand slam Maxell XLII-C90 leading off with The Cars - "Candy O" (title cut) pounding into Springsteen's "Candy's Room" and ending with Petty's "Here Comes My Girl," which is sweeter than candy. I didn't get much pussy as a teenager but I had impeccable taste in music.
2. Which evil villain would make the best President? Evil villains don't make "best" Presidents (we just had that diabolical Cheney and his hapless sidekick screwing us for the last 8 years. Remember?)
3. What was your favorite cartoon as a child? Monstro The Whale. Cruella DeVille. Malificent (from Sleeping Beauty), Looney Tunes. Was watching Daffy Duck with my then 3-year old daughter and after watching him go through his various abuses she asked, "Why doesn't he just fly away? I mean he IS a duck."
4. What superpower do you wish you had? Flying at the speed of sound would be very helpful in balancing being on the road with raising two children.
5. What would the title of your autobiography be? The Stubborn and Relentless Obsessions of a Late Bloomer. Perhaps Better Late Than Never
Pick Three
Howe Gelb and the Band of Gypsies: Because he's fucking great and an amazing entertainer.
Spoon: I did sound for them one night in Athens a decade and a half ago and they were really good then, but I think their new album is fantastic. If I had a better chin I'd shave off my beard.
Centro-matic: Because they're one of my favorite fucking bands in the world and they still manage to keep getting better every year anyway.
Thanks, as ever, for reading. Please do follow us on that tweety thing @sxsw and @mspark. Keep up with all the LPQ/P3 action here. Oh, oh! You can email us, too. Send hit man monkeys to email@example.com.

What This University Doesn't Want You to See
What is your school doing behind closed doors? Following a complaint filed by PETA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed cat abuse in taxpayer-funded brain experiments at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW-Madison) and fined the school more than $35,000 for seven separate violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
In one incident, a cat named Broc was severely burned by UW-Madison staff during surgery. Broc has been confined to a cage at UW-Madison for 12 years and is still imprisoned there today. A cat named NJ even had to have her eye removed after a metal coil became the site of frequent, serious infections.
A federal inspector reported that all the cats whom PETA profiled in its complaint had been "diagnosed with chronic infections" after having steel posts screwed to their heads and metal coils implanted in their eyes. The USDA noted that some cats had died because of these infections.
Double Trouble was tormented for months in a taxpayer-funded "sound localization" experiment. The gentle orange tabby developed serious infections, became depressed, and started to twitch, and half her face became paralyzed. Records show that Double Trouble's anesthesia wore off during one surgery and that she woke up to what was likely a painful and horrifying experience as experimenters were cutting into her head and skull.
Experimenters kept abusing Double Trouble for months until eventually they deemed the project a failure and killed and decapitated her.
Experimenters justified using 30 cats per year not by saying that the experiments would lead to improvements in human health, but rather by stating that they needed to "keep up a productive publication record that ensures our constant funding."
The federal government continues to support this cruel project and UW-Madison continues to experiment on cats, even though researchers around the world are already using modern methods with human volunteers to investigate how the brain locates and processes sound.

The cats in UW-Madison's labs continue to suffer.

Judge tosses conductor's suit against railroad
Conductor's lawsuit tossed
A former train conductor who contended a railroad damaged his lungs has had his lawsuit go up in smoke.
James J. Mullin's suit against Canadian Pacific Railway was dismissed recently by Lackawanna County Judge Terence R. Nealon, who said the Ashley man never provided "a scintilla of medical proof" that the railroad's engines harmed him.
Mr. Mullin sued in August 2005. Judge Nealon dismissed the suit Nov. 15.
Canadian Pacific does business as the Delaware & Hudson Railway and operates on tracks in Lackawanna County. Mr. Mullin was one of eight people who sued the railroad for damaging their health.
A doctor for the other seven has said their "long occupational history of heavy dust exposure" caused permanent lung damage, Judge Nealon wrote. Mr. Mullin never gave a deposition in the case and never provided any evidence that he has ever been diagnosed with lung damage or that he was ever harmed when he worked for the D&H, the judge said.
"Only Mullin has neglected to produce an expert medical report substantiating, or even addressing, his occupational exposure claim," Judge Nealon wrote.

The Lazy Girl's Guide to Yoga
You can't find a hair tie, your yoga mat is packed away in a box somewhere, and dinner has to be on the table in 45 minutes. Don't have time for yoga? Yeah, me neither. Thankfully, though, our resident yoga expert Jill Lawson has provided a few tips and tricks for those of us "lazy girls" who want to practice yoga more regularly but sometimes lack the time, resources and know-how to do so.
What would an at-home routine look like for someone who can't afford to join a yoga studio?
Just as it is in a yoga studio, the environment is an important part of the at-home yoga experience. Light up some incense or candles, play some soothing music, and turn up the thermostat just a bit. Setting the mood and creating an environment as peaceful as the yoga studio can be just as profound when practicing yoga at home. Always begin with a warm-up of some sort. For more vigorous practices, 5-10 rounds of sun salutations will get the blood flowing. For more gentle practices, a few rounds of cat-cow pose will suffice. The bulk of the practice can take many forms, but each session should still end with a few minutes of final relaxation, otherwise known as savasana, or corpse pose.

Thank you very much for taking the time to offer me feedback. It is interesting that you consider the landscape one to be a stronger composition. I thought the potrait one was stronger because it had more of a text book layout - top third; sky, middle; rail cars and bottom; tracks. I will continue to come back to your comments and feedback as I continue developing "an eye" for the picture.

BELMONT SHORES, Calif., May 10. HE DID IT!!!
Tustin High senior Michael (Milorad) Cavic — last year's national prep leader in the 50 free (20.27) — got what he wanted here this afterooon, the race's national high school record with his 19.77 clocking at the prelims of the CIF Southern Sectionm Division II prelims.
The meet was held in Long Beach's Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool, with the finals set for today (May 11).
Cavic's "rationale" for breaking the record in the prelims was because he also wants to get the national record in the 100 yard butterfly in today's finals, which is 47.83 by current Stanford star Dan Westcott.
Westcott set the record three years ago when he was a senior at The Woodlands High in suburban Houston during the Texas state high school meet at Austin.
In the high school championship program the 50 free and 100 fly are literally back-to-back races, although since the CIF meet features boys girls and boys races Cavic would have had at least one race separating
his double.
Cavic will also be after Nate Dusing's national prep 100 fly record (47.10), set when the former University of Texas star was a senior at Covington Catholic High in Kentucky five years ago. Dusing of course went on to a stellar career at UT and at last year's NCAA Division 1 Championships was named Swimmer of the Meet for his American/NCAA record in the 200 IM plus
his win in the 200 back and runner-up finish in the 100 fly.
The 50 free record Cavic broke belonged to another Texas prep star, former Houston Memorial sprinter Anthony Robinson, who went a 19.91 at the '97 Texas state meet. Robinson matriculated to Stanford and at the '01 NCAAs upset defending champ Anthony Ervin of Cal to win the 50 free.
Cavic's prs are 19.57 from the NCSA Championship the final Saturday of March, and 47.20 — the boys' 15-16 U.S. Swimming national age group record — from last year's Speedo Sectionals, with both swims having been done at Belmont.
A native of Yugoslavia, Cavic swims for the powerhouse Irvine Nova team of Coach Dave Salo, which also features –among others — 200 meter back world
record-holder/World Champion Aaron Peirsol.
Cavic has represented his country at the Sydney Olympics and last summer's World Championships in Fukuoka, and will likely do so again next eyar at the
World Championships (Barcelona) and in '04 at the Olympics in Athens.

In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in response to the rising cost of taxpayer-funded disaster relief for flood victims, and the increasing amount of damage caused by floods. The NFIP makes Federally-backed flood insurance available in communities that agree to adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. National Flood Insurance is available in more than 20,000 communities across the United States and its territories.
The NFIP is managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Insurance Mitigation and Administration (FIMA) Directorate. FIMA manages the insurance component of the NFIP and oversees the floodplain management aspect of the program.
The NFIP, through partnerships with communities, the insurance industry, and the lending industry, helps reduce flood damage and helps to save the nation more than $1.1 billion a year in prevented flood damages. Further, homes constructed in compliance with NFIP building standards suffer less damage from floods than those not built in compliance. A study by the Multi-hazard Mitigation Council indicates that each dollar spent on mitigation saves society an average of four dollars.
The NFIP is self-supporting for the average historical loss year, which means that operating expenses and flood insurance claims are not paid for by the taxpayer, but through premiums collected as flood insurance policies. For more information on NFIP, visit the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/about/programs/nfip/index.shtm.
1. Everyone lives in a flood zone.
2. Flood damage is not covered by homeowners' policies.
3. You can buy flood insurance no matter what your flood risk.
4. There is a low-cost policy for homes in low to moderate risk areas.
5. Flood insurance is affordable.
6. Flood insurance is easy to get.
7. Contents coverage is separate, so renters can insure their belongings too.
8. Up to a total of $1 million of flood insurance coverage is available for non-residential buildings and contents.
9. There is usually a 30-day waiting period before the coverage goes into effect.
10. Federal disaster assistance is not the answer.
Source: FEMA: NFIP
Prince George's County Residents Receive a 25% Reduction in Flood Insurance Rates
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a program started in 1990 under the NFIP. The program was designed to recognize and encourage community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP standards. Under the CRS, flood insurance premium rates are adjusted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from community activities that meet the three goals of the CRS: (1) reduce flood losses; (2) facilitate accurate insurance rating; and (3) promote awareness of flood insurance.
There are ten CRS classes: class 1 requires the most credit points and gives the largest premium reduction, while class 10 is the entry level into the CRS and carries no premium reduction. Prince George's County is currently rated Class 5 under the CRS, which translates to a 25% reduction in flood insurance rates for local residents and businesses. The Class 5 rating places Prince George's County in the top 3% of over 1,200 communities nationwide that participate in the CRS. For more information on the CRS, visit the FEMA web site at http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/crs.shtm.
Under the CTP Program, the County has conducted and continues to conduct activities which utilize GIS-based tools. Such activities include:
Special Flood Hazard Areas are areas that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded (100-year flood) in any given year. Smaller scale floods (50-year and 10-year) have a greater chance of occurring in any given year and can also pose a significant flood hazard to persons and property in close proximity to channels and streams. Additionally, floods larger than the mapped 100-year event can occur.First and foremost, you should become informed as to the flood hazard potential on your property. The Prince George's County Department of Public Works and Transportation will review floodplain information and studies available in their files to determine the location of your property with respect to the floodplain as established in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps. You may contact the Prince George's County Department of Public Works and Transportation at (301) 883-5777 for assistance with this information.Any information provided by the County does not constitute an assurance or representation that flooding may or may not occur on your property during any given event, but should assist you as a general matter in determining the need for flood insurance by assessing the extent of flooding potential on your property.
The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) is the official map showing the community's Special Flood Hazard Areas . This map is utilized as the basis to assess flood risk based on compliance with the minimum requirements for flood management under the NFIP and to determine if flood insurance is required for structure(s) on a property. Although the map is not property specific (e.g. no lot boundaries), by using the major roads and flooding sources for reference, users can get an idea of the flood risks in their area. The map is available to view online at the Map Service Center ( msc.fema.gov ) or at the Prince George's County Department of the Environment's in Largo, Maryland. Additionally, the Map Service Center site has an address search feature that allows a user to find the correct FIRM panel using their address in an online search tool.
For additional assistance with using the FIRMs, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center at 1-877-FEMA MAP, visit the following website ( www.fema.gov/hazard/map/firm.shtm).
In some cases, a lender determines that a property is in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), or 100-year floodplain, and requires the owner to purchase flood insurance. If the property owner wishes to dispute the fact that they are in the SFHA, they can apply for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F), if fill placement is the basis of the request. Also, a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) may be required if a land development project would result in changes to the SFHA.
Forms for this application process may be found on FEMA's website.
You may also access tutorials designed to assist in the preparation of these forms at online-tutorials. This tutorial will guide you through the application and provide tips on filling out the forms.
Upon receiving a completed application, FEMA reviews property-specific information and makes a final flood zone determination for the property. Once an application is received with all the required supporting data, the LOMA or LOMR-F is normally issued within 60 days. If the LOMA or LOMR-F removes the SFHA designation from the property, it can then be presented to the lender as proof that there is no Federal flood insurance requirement for the property. Bear in mind that even though a LOMA or LOMR-F may remove the Federal requirement for flood insurance, a lender retains the prerogative to require flood insurance.

Man charged in crash of stolen truck
By 67AM KPUA News
A Hilo man is being held on a felony charge following the Sunday morning crash of a stolen truck in Volcano. 25-year old Hiram Kawelu and his 22-year old passenger Cole Evans-Tanigawa were arrested for being in possession of a stolen vehicle with stolen items taken from a camp site at South Point and from vehicles at Kawa Beach in Naalehu and appeared in federal court Monday, since the crash occurred in an area under jurisdiction of the national park service.
Kawelu was charged Wednesday with unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle and will make his initial court appearance on Thursday.
Evans-Tanigawa was released pending further investigation.

The coverage of the UPA government's flagship infrastructural development programme being implemented in 90 districts with large minority populations is set for a huge expansion. The scheme is being recast, with blocks replacing districts as the basic unit of planning to ensure more focused targeting.
As part of the revamp of the multi-sectoral development programme, the Minority Affairs Ministry has identified 776 blocks with significant minority population spread across 196 districts, up from the present 90. With some last minute additions, the number may go up to 800 blocks and coverage of districts is expected to increase to about 200.
Minority Affairs Minister K Rahman Khan said the process of identification of blocks was in the last stage.
In the past, there have been demands for revamping the special area development scheme from several quarters, including parliamentary standing committee and the Planning Commission. The parliamentary panel had pointed out that the scheme in its present form does not focus entirely on the minority population as many of the 90 districts have blocks and villages which have high non-minority population. It had argued that due to this, the benefits envisaged for the minority population was flowing to non-minority population in the selected districts.
Besides, the eligibility criteria for selecting districts with significant minority population resulted in omission of several districts that have many pockets of minority concentration. For instance, not a single district in Andhra Pradesh, which has a significant Muslim population, figures in the scheme.
The Planning Commission had noted that the the programme left out huge minority areas, including towns, urban conglomerates and isolated villages and hamlets.
The ministry, however, is not in a mood to relax the eligibility criteria. At present, districts with 25 per cent minority population qualify for the scheme. Those with 20-25 per cent minority population can also be considered, provided the total minority population is 5 lakh or more. Let us do this first, Khan said.

Yesterday, developer, Heart Machine, released the first video of Hyper Light Drifter in action. The video, accompanied by Rich "Disasterpeace" Vreeland's soundtrack, shows Hyper Light Drifter's protagonist hacking and slashing his way through a portion of the game. Dashing through the corridors, the character encounters a handful of enemy types, all of which are dispatched quickly, and efficiently. One encounter sees the protagonist faced with an enemy armed with a rocket launcher. A quick slash disarms the rocket in mid-air, and the enemy is easily dealt with from there.
To accompany the video's release, Heart Machine posted the following on the game's Kickstarter updates page, "Keep in mind, this is all pre-alpha footage, so there are animations missing, sounds missing, and the leveling up system is not currently in place for the sake of testing among other items, but we wanted to reveal and share our progress."
Thanks to a massively successful Kickstarter Campaign, Heart Machine was able to collect over $600,000 for the development of Hyper Light Drifter. With the support of a little over 24,000 backers, Heart Machine has promised to expand the game from the initial PC/Mac/Linux release and bring the game to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, OUYA, and the Wii U.

There is a rather dramatic modern tension being explored in Chris Anderson's "Free: The Future of a Radical Price." It's a conflict being fueled by a cultural shift, a generational divide or the current struggle to find new economic models that work in a time of considerable technological shifts and a persistent financial crisis.
Last week, I asked, "Are we fighting to preserve a business or an artform?" This week, I clarified for myself, "How do we preserve an artform while struggling to rescue a business?" Chris Anderson might argue that some of the answers can be found in his books.
Anderson, the editor-in-chief of Wired, is the man behind "The Long Tail," the best-selling book from 2006 that fueled countless debates about "the new economics of culture and commerce." Nearly three years ago he explored, "Why the future of business is selling less of more." That is, as I wrote in September of '06, how a number of businesses that make their money selling culture (music, movies, books) make an increasing amount of revenue not from the high-profile hits, but from increasingly popular niche content. Bigger libraries of say indie films, aimed at reaching narrow audiences, can be more valuable than blockbusters over time.
That proverbial long tail of content remains a divisive concept because some have argued that it isn't a long term solution to developing a sustainable business model for content and creators, given that it's driven by nickel-and-dime revenues. Conversely, as new (free and paid) platforms emerge for films, alternative approaches to distribution are taking root among makers and marketers of indie, specialty and international films.
Published yesterday in both paid print and free digital versions, Anderson's new book, "Free" (which indieWIRE previewed), aims to explore that core contrast, that is, how people today, "are making lots of money charging nothing." It's an alluring conflict.
"Paradoxes drive the things we care about," he quotes author and entrepreneur Stewart Brand as saying, elaborating on the idea that, "information wants to be free."
Anderson starts his examination with the famed Monty Python troupe and their decision to foil online pirates by creating a sanctioned YouTube channel, uploading high-quality classic Python comedy sketches and reaping financial rewards in the form of a sizable jump in DVD sales.
A primary precept in Anderson's book is that the Google Generation, folks in their 20s and younger, won't pay for bytes, but will pay for atoms. In one example, he notes, they'll opt for watching user generated "Star Wars" films for free on YouTube rather than sitting in front of a big screen TV to catch a George Lucas classic.
In just the past year, sites have emerged to cater to consumers who want to snack on, or wholly consume, quality content online, much of it from Anderson's aforementioned long tail. Websites such as Hulu for TV shows, The Auteurs for international cinema or SnagFilms for documentaries (which owns indieWIRE) are delivering high-res entertainment to computer screens (as are Babelgum and Dailymotion, among others), for free, while iTunes, Netflix, and Amazon are selling rentals and downloads for a price. The move even led leading indie film seller John Sloss to launch Cinetic Rights Management to try to exploit indie films in both free and paid digital platforms.
Anderson's new book doesn't devote too much space to free models for films, but his ideas and examples are certainly applicable in this evolving marketplace for movies.
"Businesses can profit more by giving away things than selling them," the author said yesterday, at an event at Google's DC headquarters aimed at promoting the new book. "The notion that everything online is free goes against the idea we had in our heads for hundreds of years. In the past we thought 'buy one get one free' was in fact free, but all this time we have been suckered."
"Free" is no longer just a marketing concept, used to upsell or bait and switch buyers. Free must be trusted, Anderson argues. "The new form of free is not a gimmick," he writes in the new book, citing numerous examples of modern businesses that have adopted free approaches, from a Harajuku (Tokyo) boutique that gives away products (they make money by charging customers a membership fee and sellers pay to place their merchandise on the shelves) to Google, which has built a business around offering countless products, services and tools primarily at no cost. They sells ads around their services or monetize information and data that they mine and often use that insight to develop be products.
Back in the film world, while a financial gravy train hasn't arrived for indie filmmakers exploring Anderson's so-called "freeconomics," early adopters seem to be realizing that it's short-sighted to ignore hybrid approaches that incorporate an element of free. Folks must reject the 20th century suspicion of "free" Anderson argues, because free does not necessarily signify a lack of quality.
"Sooner or later, most producers in the digital realm will find themselves competing with Free," Anderson writes.
The revenues from digital distribution are not amazing, explained "Super Size Me" filmmaker Morgan Spurlock in a recent conversation with indieWIRE, but that's not a reason to avoid online outlets that giveaway content. Filmmakers should "plant a flag in the digital world," Spurlock recently advised, "You should not be afraid of going there." Filmmakers should bring their production costs down -- lower their risk -- and then experiment with all delivery systems to find the right mix, he advised.
Using free outlets to build awareness, or even just gain access to an audience or the industry, is one viable strategy, Chris Anderson said yesterday.
"Film's a great example," Anderson told indieWIRE. "Film is built around theatrical distribution which distorts the medium," he said, pointing to YouTube as a democratizing starting point for filmmakers to get their foot in the door, specifically those creating shorter form content to tease longer work or showcase their talent. Use the Internet to get recognized he advised, "The Internet's a great start."
Again, though, as with "The Long Tail," Anderson's ideas are stirring debate. In a widely referenced critique in last week's New Yorker Magazine, star writer Malcolm Gladwell ("The Tipping Point," "Blink"), took Anderson to task, essentially adopting a William Goldman-esque, "nobody knows anything" stance.
"The only iron law here is the one too obvious to write a book about," Gladwell wrote, "Which is that the digital age has so transformed the ways in which things are made and sold that there are no iron laws."

First, this may be better in the C&V section, however i have a few questions that may be better answered by new school BMX'ers.
Many years ago I had a Kuwahara Bravo KT. This was one of my first loves. I rode mainly flatland, but did race a few times. When I was in my mid 20's I gave it to one of my cousins for his son to ride, after all I had a car now and no longer needed such primitive transportation. One of many mistakes I would come to regret.
Fast forward 20 years.
I find myself 8 months away from a second wedding, an avid road cyclist, and second guessing a lot of my previous decissions. The other day I am at a family gathering at a different cousins home and what do I see sitting in the corner of his garage? None other than my old trusted friend! The bike had been passed down to his sons who have since grown out of it. I am instantly reminded of the story "The Giving Tree". The bike has been spray painted in places, allowed to rust in others, most of its components removed, donated to some other kids bike, or allowed to oxidize to a state unrecognizable. This will not do! I bring my old friend home with me.
I wish to restore my old friend to his, (it's) former glory if not beyond it. However most of the brands and components I was familiar with no longer exist. I need good strong wheels, headset, bottom bracket, cranks, basically everything other than frame, fork, handlebars and possibly brake calipers. Even the pegs are missing. oddly enough the circa 88-89 ACS Pro Rotor is in tact, however it seems Oddessy Gyro, (considdered cheap in my day) has won the battle of time.
Questions; I know the bike needs refinishing, do I paint or go the powdercoat route? Powdercoat is more durable but not original. Should go as original as possible, sticking at least to period accurate products, or update to new school? I will be presenting the bike to my soon to be stepson with the understanding that I considder it an heirloom. Lastly, if I should update, what components would be worthy of long term use, wheels, cranks, brake levers, ect......
All of this has me searching craigslist and Ebay for the perfect old steel roady!

She donned a simple yet pretty white dress for her turn as a sports presenter. But Jessica Biel"s outfit had extra sparkle in the form of her stunning engagement ring.
The actress was happy to show off her sizeable diamond, which she has recently revealed fiancé Justin Timberlake picked out all by himself.
"I had no say whatsoever [in the ring]. I don"t micromanage," she told US publication InStyle.
The 30-year-old added: "He is fearless in his choices and has a real eye for design. And I"ll be honest: he has better taste than I do. It"s hilarious."
The Sexyback singer may have also helped with Jessica"s outfit for the ESPY awards – he often helps pick out her red carpet looks.
Jessica complemented her thigh-skimming Christian Dior Resort 2013 dress with an eye-catching pair of Nicholas Kirkwood for Roksanda Ilincic Spring 2012 pumps with luminous yellow chunky heels.
She was clearly pleased with her footwear, writing on Twitter: "I know the #espys are about sports and stuff but LOOK AT MY SHOES!"
Jessica presented the Best Breakthrough Athlete trophy to NBA player Jeremy Lin, of the New York Knicks.
She was helped out by American Football player Tim Tebow, handsome quarterback with the New York jets.
Other famous ladies at the ceremony included Zoey Deschanel, Hayden Panettiere and Maria Sharapova, who took home the Best Tennis Player award.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Analyzing Game 2
The Thunder had a chance to win Game 1 against Memphis. It did. The Thunder had a chance to win Game 2. It didn't. The Grizzlies won the last two minutes and thus the game, 99-93. Here's what I heard and saw:
* First, Kendrick Perkins. Perk was mostly awful when the Thunder had the ball. He played just 24:13 and was minus-10 – the Thunder was outscored by 10 points with Perkins on the court. Which wasn't the worst plus/minus of the night; Reggie Jackson was minus 14. More on that later.
Perkins made just one of four, which is no big deal, and had six rebounds, which is fine, considering Marc Gasol had only five in 431/2 minutes. And Perkins had only three turnovers, though it seemed like 13.
The truth is, Perkins always looks worse than his numbers. But it also seems that on a team without Russell Westbrook, offensive deficiencies are magnified.
So let's look deeper. Exactly how valuable was Perkins in Game 2?
Gasol had only five rebounds in 43:28. He had three rebounds with Perk on the floor, including both of Gasol's offensive rebounds. No big deal. But here's a problem – with Perkins on the court, Memphis had 15 of its 21 offensive rebounds. Hard to blame Perk for that, since Gasol wasn't going crazy, but something was breaking down on the boards with Perk on the court.
Gasol clearly scores easier when Perkins is on the bench. Gasol had eight points with Perk on the floor; Gasol made three of four shots and two foul shots. With Perk on the bench, Gasol had 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting and 6-of-6 foul shooting.
With Perkins, the Thunder offensive was inefficient – 37 points on 43 possessions. Without Perkins, the Thunder offense had 59 points on 47 possessions.
With Perkins, the Thunder defense was efficient – the Grizzlies scored 43 points on 46 possessions. Without Perkins, the Thunder defense was inefficient – the Grizzlies scored 56 points on 43 possessions.
The evidence is clear. Perkins has to play against these guys. But just as clearly, Scotty Brooks has to find a way to minimize Perk's damage on offense.
* Reggie Jackson has to be more assertive. Or maybe Memphis' defense is just fantastic, which is absolutely possible. Jackson was 3-for-3 at the basket; he was 0-for-5 on shots away from the basket, including three 3-point misses, a 14-footer and wild, left-handed something-or-other as the shot clock wound down.
Jackson has to penetrate and get to the rim. Of course, with Mike Conley and Tony Allen patrolling the perimeter, and Gasol standing sentry, there's nothing easy about that.
* At halftime, Kevin Durant had six shots. Serge Ibaka had eight. Now, Durant had six foul shots and four turnovers, so he accounted for far more possessions (13) than did Ibaka (eight). But still.
Ibaka finished 5-of-12 and maybe shot himself out of his slump, to some degree, considering he was 5-of-23 the previous two games.
The good news: Ibaka's misses look better than they have been looking. Ibaka was 2-of-7 on outside jumpers, including a miss on a corner 3-pointer. He was 3-of-5 on shots at the basket. It's always good to get Ibaka shots in the paint. But he wasn't that far off.
* Thabo Sefolosha scored the Thunder's first five points, then scored two points the final 44:45 of the game. Sefolosha missed a 3-pointer in the first quarter and a 3-pointer in the third quarter.
It seems like Thabo is not in the flow of the offense the way he was when Russell Westbrook was playing.
* The series is tied 1-1, and it seems the Grizzlies have the inside track to advancement. But Durant's at least talking straight.
"We feel confident. We can't put our heads down," Durant said. "We can't be upset with ourselves because we lost. Memphis is a really good team. We've just got to keep moving and keep going forward.
"I think there are some things we can correct and get better at and we'll be fine. Me as a leader, I've always got to stay positive. It can't ever look like the series is over. It made it a little tougher on us, but we always like a fight and we always like a challenge."
* Here's a fun way to gauge Kevin Martin's value. Go strictly by halves.
Memphis Game 2 first half: Martin 1-of-5 shooting, four points, Thunder outscored 54-51.
Memphis Game 2 second half: Martin 1-of-6, two points, Thunder outscored 45-42.
Memphis Game 1 first half: Martin 5-of-9 shooting, 15 points, Thunder outscores Memphis 47-46.
Memphis Game 1 second half: Martin 3-of-5, 10 points, Thunder outscores Memphis 46-45.
Houston Game 6 first half: Martin 5-of-8, 21 points, Thunder outscores 58-54.
Houston Game 6 second half: Martin 2-of-5, four points, Thunder outscored Rockets 45-40.
Houston Game 5 first half: Martin 0-of-6, no points, Thunder outscored 50-43.
Houston Game 5 second half: Martin 1-of-4, two points, teams tie 57-57.
Houston Game 4 first half: Martin 4-of-9, 14 points, Thunder outscores Rockets 60-53.
Houston Game 4 second half: Martin 1-of-2, two points, Thunder outscored 52-43.
Houston Game 3, first half: Martin 3-of-5, 12 points, Thunder outscores Rockets 66-49.
Houston Game 3, second half: Martin 0-of-6, no points, Thunder outscored 52-38.
So let's review. Since losing Westbrook, in halves that safely could be called excellent production by Martin, the Thunder has outscored foes by 30 points in six games. In Martin halves that fairly can be called poor, the Thunder has been outscored by 36. And the Thunder outscored Memphis by five in a half that Martin played so-so.
* Hasheem Thabeet doesn't do a lot – he had three rebounds and two foul in 12:45 of playing time – but he did give the big guys some rest. And he's awfully active. Sometimes it looks Thabeet dropped from the ceiling trying to swipe at a rebound.
* I know Durant didn't come through in the last two minutes. But his second half numbers were awesome: 8-of-15 shooting, 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists.
Still, the execution of the last 21/2 minutes was abysmal. After Perkins – yep, Perkins – gave the Thunder a 90-89 lead with two foul shots at 2:41, the Thunder went five straight possessions without scoring.
Durant had an open 3-pointer, thanks to a cool pump fake on Allen, but otherwise, a series of iffy shots. The Derek Fisher air ball. A hesitant Jackson 3-pointer. A contested Durant 3-pointer. Plus two turnovers. Only Fisher's meaningless 3-pointer at the buzzer kept Memphis from ending the game with a 10-0 run.
"We knew that we had to take away some other people," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said, referring to Durant's big night. "Except for Fisher's 14 in the first half, we did pretty much that. We were hanging on by a thread in the first half when they were raining all of the threes on us. We just kept scoring and scoring and the next thing you know, we were up at half time. In the fourth quarter it was a little bit of the same. Durant got it going and scoring it, and he just kept making a play, kept making a play, kept making a play and in the end we got stops."
* Rebounding is what won the game for Memphis (23 second-chance points), and turnovers killed the Thunder (21, leading to 29 points). But the most embarrassing stat for the Thunder should be fast-break points. Memphis outscored the Thunder 18-7 in transition.
Where have you gone, Russell Westbrook?
* Mike Conley has turned into a wonderful player.
Heck, let's just compare his night to Durant's.
Points: Durant 36, Conley 26.
Rebounds: Durant 11, Conley 10.
Assists: Durant nine, Conley nine.
Shooting: Durant 11-of-21, Conley 11-of-22.
The only major difference is that Durant got to the foul line (11 of 12) twice as much as did Conley, and Durant had five turnovers to Conley's two.
Conley also seems like such a class act.
Gasol said Conley was "more aggressive. We did a good job at getting him in the open. Zach Randolph made good first screens and I tried to clean it up. Most of the time, they tried to trap him and he got in the paint and he shot well."
* Clean up the rebounding and the turnovers, and the Thunder has to feel good about itself. Cleaning up the turnovers could come easily. Cleaning up the rebounding will not.
"It is going to be tough, but we know we have to correct some areas that we need to improve on quickly within the next three days," said Brooks. "We have time to work on those areas and focus on those areas. Our guys have been around. They have been through a lot of games before, a lot of series before and we understand that it is the first to four and that we are excited about the challenge.
"We knew it was going to be a challenge, we knew that going into this series. This is a very physical team that does a lot of good things and we have to make sure that we counter that with our physical play."
* Fisher's ageless routine continues. He had one horrible possession – an air-balled 10-footer with a little more than two minutes left and the Thunder up 90-89 – but otherwise, Fish was pristine.
In two games against Memphis, Fisher has made six of eight 3-pointers. He's 9-of-16 from the field and has added to his arsenal – he's been attacking more against Memphis' pressure defense.
* As the series continues, look for Hollins to use more Tony Allen and less Tayshaun Prince in defending Durant.
* Through two games, Durant isn't the only one carrying a big load. He's played 86:16. But Gasol has played 83:30, Conley 80:25 and Zach Randolph 79:48. Clearly, the Thunder has more depth it can depend on. Can the Thunder take advantage?
* I think you'll see Scotty Brooks go with the small lineup again, even if Gasol and Randolph are in the game together.
The Thunder traded twos for threes. It scored 16 points on its first six possessions with Durant guarding Gasol. You can't do it early in the game, because of potential foul trouble. But the Grizzlies were hard-pressed to man up with the Thunder when Durant, Fisher, Ibaka, Martin and Sefolosha were spreading the court.

We are dedicated to your success. All graduates receive FREE ongoing mentoring, if requested, in all aspects of a successful FEEL practice following their conclusion of the program.
At the first Annual FEEL Reunion, the decision was unanimous to form a FEEL alumni association where all graduates are invited to join and have a forum to share successes, learning's, and insights. A FEEL Association website will be an invaluable marketing tool as well as an open forum for FEEL Facilitators.
Training Details:
• Participants should own their own horse(s) or have access to a horse in order to practice throughout the training period. Horses may be leased at Horse Spirit Connections.
• Applicants who do not have existing proficient horse handling and caring skills should be prepared to take additional learning courses and should not expect to become competent to work alone within the six month period. We recommend working with a co facilitator who has the horse experience until such time the applicable skills are developed.
• To experience this work first hand, we strongly recommend applicants attend a FEEL session conducted by Horse Spirit Connections or one of our graduates.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon reaffirmed his predecessor's line on cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad on Wednesday, saying free speech should respect religious sensitivities.
"The Secretary-General strongly believes that freedom of expression should be exercised responsibly and in a way that respects all religious beliefs," his spokeswoman Marie Okabe told reporters.
The cartoon issue has returned to prominence after Denmark's five major daily newspapers last week republished one of 12 drawings of the Prophet that angered Muslims around the world in 2006.
They did so as a protest against a plot to murder one of the cartoonists who originally published the drawings in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
Most Muslims consider depictions of the Prophet offensive.___________________________________________

Unnamed source in Abbas camp says Qatar has 'no interest' in seeing Egyptian-led talks succeed, it and Muslim Brotherhood working to undermine Egypt.
Associated Press
Published: 08.21.14, 10:40 / Israel News
Associated Press
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The explosions rocking the Gaza Strip may seem far removed from the flashy cars and skyscrapers of ultra-rich Qatar, but efforts to end fighting between Hamas and Israel could hinge on how the tiny Gulf Arab state wields its influence over a Palestinian militant group with few friends left.
Qatar has been home to Hamas chief-in-exile Khaled Mashal since 2012, when he was ejected from Syria by former ally Bashar Assad, and has carved out a role as a key financial patron for Gaza, buying influence while shoring up an economy overseen by Hamas.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
I had agreed to a settlement through my attorney and said get it in writing. When I went to court they said do it here in front of the judge. The judge and enemies kept trying to add/change what I had agreed too. It was in and out, back and forth for a couple of hours at the court house. At the end I said to the judge when I see it in writing , I will sign it and we willk be done. The judge said allthis stuff is the agreement and you have already agreed to it.
I called the court reporter a week latter to get the transcript and I said I need the tapes, where she replied you don't get those. I said there is know way you recorded all that went on their. She became offended and said no one has accused me of poor recording. I said it is impossible that you got everything recorded, I want the tapes. Her transcript did not have any of my statements on it, other then a statement, "I will not sign anything." since I had relized at the end of this sharade that I was set up and being duped.
I have since demanded my lawyer to defend what had happened and what he knew I had agreed too, he refused and I fired him. I want copies of the tapes and a counter-claim against this complete Soviet injustice.

What Can Food Tell Us About a Place?
- Region
- Asia, China
- Grade
- Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12
- Subjects
- Cross-Cultural Understanding, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies & Geography
Cuisine, agricultural practices, markets, and mealtime traditions can reveal a great deal about people and place. As they experience life in another country, Peace Corps Volunteers' daily experiences with food can provide important insights to the culture and history of the communities in which they live and serve.
In the slide show, A Taste of Tongren, Peace Corps Volunteer Amy Throndsen shares some of the culinary and cultural lessons she learned during her service in China. After viewing the slide show, explore ways to extend students' learning using the teaching suggestions provided.
Students will
- describe several examples of Chinese dishes and mealtime traditions
- discuss food and mealtime traditions as an element of culture
- describe regional variations in the U.S. that contribute to our culture as a whole, and recognize that similar regional variations contribute to Chinese culture
- generate questions based on new information about Chinese culture
Discuss in a small group or as a class:
- How would you describe "American cuisine"?
- How does American cuisine vary regionally (e.g., Southern, New England, Southwestern cuisine)? Why do you think we have these regional differences?
What might an outsider infer about American culture by looking at:
- What we eat?
- Where our food comes from?
- Our mealtime norms (e.g., where and when meals take place, who gathers for meals, how long we spend at meals)?
- Discuss students' prior knowledge of Chinese cuisine. Explain that Chinese food we know in America may be very different from what people in China actually eat. Like American cuisine, Chinese cuisine varies greatly by region.
- Look at a map of China and locate the Guizhou province. Introduce Amy Throndsen as a Peace Corps Volunteer who served in this area.
- View Amy's slide show, A Taste of Tongren, which discusses the cuisine and culture of the region.
- Reflect on the slide show by discussing:
- What surprised you most about the food in Tongren? Why?
- What did you learn about culture in China by learning more about food in China?
Frameworks & Standards
Enduring Understandings
- Where we live influences how we live.
- The culture of a place often includes a mosaic of regional and individual variations.
Essential Questions
- How is my culture similar to and different from other cultures?
- What can food, agriculture, and mealtime practices reveal about a place and its people?
Social Studies
- Thematic Strand I: Culture
- Thematic Strand VII : Production, Distribution, and Consumption
Language Arts
- Standard 4: Communication through Spoken, Written, and Visual Language

Math: Population and Agriculture
Investigate numerical relationships between population growth, availability of arable land, and food production.
Science: Terrace Agriculture and Soil Erosion
Explore the practice of terrace agriculture around the world and its effectiveness in maximizing space while minimizing soil erosion.
Foreign Language: Food Culture Photo Essays
Practice basic Mandarin Chinese speaking skills using Peace Corps language lessons and create a food culture photo essay inspired by Amy Throndsen's slide show.
Geography & Social Studies: Linking Geography and Food
Research the cuisine and prepare a dish from a selected world region. Explore the ways that a region's physical and cultural features may influence what people eat.

" In Premgit's exquisite photographs we have an invitation to see how India sees herself. To be, as it were, inside some of the many worlds of India, looking out at the world looking in. They capture something of the India 'spirit of place', fascinating and familiar to travellers and seekers alike, and so hard to describe. Even if you have never been to India, you will find in these poetic impressions, the pleasure of sensing that same spirit of place"

Grand Banks - Brand Foundation
Brand Foundation: Eastbay 38
It's hard to believe, but in 1995 a production down east cruiser was seen as ground breaking. she became an instant classic.
We're sitting in a London hotel lounge and Peter Boyce, Hunt's senior designer, turned to me and said, "You know, that 38 with the 375-horsepower 3208s was pure Hunt." C. Raymond Hunt Associates was responsible for the naval engineering of the the Eastbay line of Grand Banks. (The late Dick Loh, former VP of Grand Banks, conceptulaized the boat along with his son Rick.) She was a tad on the heavy side, which in my opinion made her a great sea boat.

TARP details emerge
Looks like the big-name banks will have no choice: They were told by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson they will have to accept a government investment (via TARP) for the good of the country. The New York Times reports Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase will get $25 billion each; Bank of America and Wells Fargo, $20 billion each (plus an additional $5 billion for their recent acquisitions); Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, $10 billion each, with Bank of New York Mellon and State Street each receiving $2 to 3 billion. No word yet on small banks, which are slated for capital injections. The nearest precedent for such a plan is the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in the 1930s, the Times notes. The agency, set up 1932, bought stock in 6,000 banks at a total cost of $1.3 billion.

People - May 2005
For Phil Sanger, its not enough to engineer better products for hurt or handicapped people. The director of Western Carolina Universitys Center for Adaptive Devices hopes he can help create jobs. So far, the centers five students and five professors have built four products.
They made a sling that allows a quadriplegic artist in Cullowhee to paint with a hand that still has some mobility instead of holding the brush with her teeth. More complicated was a power-wheelchair navigational system for a deaf and blind Buncombe County teenager. Ultrasound sensors detect obstacles and alert him with a vibrating signal from circuits taken out of a cell phone. Theres an opportunity for business in these technology areas, say, in wheelchair technology. We wouldnt think of moving a company that makes wheelchairs into western North Carolina. But we could bring wheelchairs in and customize them.
Sanger, 56, grew up in Lubbock, Texas, the son of an engineering professor at Texas Tech University. He got a bachelors in physics from St. Louis University in 1970 and two degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Wisconsin: a masters in 1972 and a doctorate in 1977. After a stint at Oxford Superconducting Technology in Carteret, N.J., he took charge of developing the giant, powerful magnets that would drive the Supercolliding Super Conductor, being built outside Dallas to explore what happens when protons crash into one another at nearly the speed of light.
Sanger quit just before Congress shut down the $2 billion project in 1993. Critics clamored that it cost too much and had few practical applications. He kept working on the magnets from 1993 to 1996 at Westinghouse Science and Technology Center in Pittsburgh, then became a program manager at the Northrop Grumman Science and Technology Center there. In May 2000, Sanger became a professor and director of the Advanced Manufacturing Center at Cleveland State University.
He came to Cullowhee in July 2004, partly for its mountain scenery. He also likes teaching and using the school to spur the economy. Thats good, because theres no shortage of projects for the center. One of our professors in special education has a list a mile long.

Thursday News, November 21
Ag Economist Predicts Grain Farmers To See Lean Times
(Le Mars) -- An Iowa State University Extension Ag Economist is predicting lean times may lie ahead for grain producers. Chad Hart spoke in Le Mars on Wednesday and he told ag lenders, farm managers, crop insurance agents, and producers that despite the delayed planting due to the cool and wet spring, this year's harvest is set to break records. Hart told the group that the United States could produce a 14 billion bushel crop. The reason, according to the ISU grain marketing specialist is because so many non-traditional corn producing states expanded their corn acreage and are having the best year ever. Hart doesn't believe the recent EPA decision will have a long term negative impact upon the corn and ethanol industry, rather he sees the entire fuel demand consumption showing a lower trend in the future, and that may have more of an impact on the ethanol demand. Hart says grain exports may be strong, up until the time South America starts to harvest its crop.
Wellmark Pokes Fun At National Health Care Plan Through Ads
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's insurance commissioner has no problem with ads by Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield that make fun of technical problems with the federal online marketplace program.
CoOportunity Health, a Wellmark competitor, has raised questions about the ads as examples "of questionable market conduct."
Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart says that he sees nothing illegal about the ads from Wellmark, the state's dominant health insurer. The ads urge people to skip the government's troubled health insurance marketplace at healthcare.gov and check its site instead.
The ads don't say consumers who use Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield wouldn't be eligible for new public subsidies. The subsidies may be used only for policies from insurers participating in the new marketplace. Wellmark isn't participating.
Volunteers Needed To Check Weather
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials are recruiting people to help monitor the state's weather as part of a volunteer network.
The state Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship says data on rain, hail and snow that's collected by volunteers will be used for flood forecasting, scientific research and general weather interest.
The department's state climatology office works with the National Weather Service in Des Moines to make sure the data are immediately available for free online.
Volunteers just need 4-inch-diameter rain gauges and suitable locations for the gauges.
The Colorado Climate Center established the volunteer network in 1998, and it's available in all 50 states and Canada. Iowa joined in 2007 and has more than 300 registered volunteers.
Diesel Engine Operators May Qualify For Grant
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Owners of construction vehicles with older diesel engines in nine Iowa counties may apply for a federal rebate to help replace the vehicles or retrofit older vehicles with new cleaner burning engines.
The Environmental Protection Agency is making $2 million available for public and private owners of construction vehicles. Those in Black Hawk, Harrison, Johnson, Linn, Mills, Polk, Pottawattamie, Scott, and Woodbury counties may apply for the money.
The EPA says the rebates target counties facing air quality challenges.
Since diesel engines in construction equipment can last for decades, the EPA program is geared toward replacing older less efficient engines that emit more pollutants with newer less polluting engines.
EPA will accept applications until Jan. 15 and anticipates awarding the rebates in February.
West Des Moines Police Identify Woman Who Drove Into Lake
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have identified the body of a woman whose car plunged into a lake following a high-speed chase with West Des Moines police.
Police say 51-year-old Brenda Lea Hatfield, of Des Moines, died after her car went into the water early Wednesday.
An officer says he noticed a car driving recklessly and tried to stop the driver. The car sped away and eventually drove down a dead end street. The officer later saw fresh tire tracks in the direction of Crystal Lake on the Des Moines Water Works property.
A dive team searched for the car and pulled it from the lake. Police found Hatfield inside.
Police say the incident remains under investigation.
Man Bites Deputy
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Authorities in central Iowa say a man faces multiple charges for biting a deputy and trying to avoid arrest.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office says 18-year-old Devin Joseph Emery Enos was stopped Wednesday afternoon for driving a stolen vehicle.
A deputy attempted to place Enos into custody, but the teenager allegedly began struggling with the officer. Enos is accused of biting the deputy before being placed into arrest.
Enos was charged with a previous warrant for attempted burglary. He also faces charges of theft, assault on a police officer causing injury, interference with official acts causing injury and no driver's license.
Enos remains at the Polk County Jail. Court records do not list an attorney.
