The most car-hungry states in America
Using data from Experian's Intelliview tool and the U.S. Census, we take a look at the car-hungry states taking out auto loans.
This post comes from Christine DiGangi at partner site Credit.com.
It's not surprising the most populated states also have the highest number of car loans and leases -- but adjusting that data to car loans/leases per capita makes things more interesting.
To get an idea of the country's most car-hungry states, we looked at data from the Experian-Oliver Wyman Market Intelligence Reports. Using Experian's IntelliView, a Web-based query, analysis and reporting tool that crunches the data in these reports, we compiled a list of the 10 states with the most outstanding car loans and leases per resident in the second quarter of 2013, the most recent data available. For population data, we used the latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, from July 1, 2012.
All but three of the top 10 states, listed below, have a population below 3 million. But large-population states don't necessarily have a low loan/lease-to-person ratio: Texas, the second-most populated state in the U.S. is among our top 10. California, No. 1 in population and overall loans and leases, is in the bottom 10 when it comes to loans/leases per capita.
The standouts
The top 10 have remained pretty consistent during the past three years, with New Hampshire maintaining the No. 1 spot in the second quarter in 2013, 2012 and 2011. The only big change has been North Dakota: In the second quarter of 2011, it was No. 36 in loans/leases per capita. In 2012, it was 23rd. Now it's seventh.
North Dakota's numbers are easy to explain.
"We're right in the middle of an oil boom," said Barron Parizek, general manager of Ryan Motors in Williston, N.D.
Williston has seen a 26% growth in population since 2010, as determined by U.S. Census estimates, which is the second-highest growth in the state, after Fargo.
"I'd say it's best I've seen since I've been in the business," said Parizek, a 20-year veteran of auto sales. He said he has sold a lot of higher-end pickups and SUVs. "Sales are still growing."
A strong economy backs up New Hampshire's spot on the list, too.
"We have a high per-capita income and a low unemployment rate," said Lorna Colquhoun, communications director for the state's division of economic development. New Hampshire's unemployment rate is 5.2%, the ninth-lowest in the country. The Bureau of Labor Statistics lists North Dakota's at 3.1% -- the best in the nation.
Another factor to consider: "We don't have a lot of public transportation, so we all drive our cars to work," Colquhoun said.
Melinda Zabritski, senior director of automotive credit for Experian, said there's a lot to consider when breaking the data down by state, like economic strength, credit scores, public transportation and vehicles in operation in each state.
Though there are some connections, like the economic strength in North Dakota and New Hampshire, car loans and leases per capita don't directly relate to any of those factors.
Perhaps it's a combination, or perhaps people in some states have gone on car-buying kicks in the past few years.
Here are the 10 states with the highest car loans and leases per person.

I've bought several trucks from Texas Motors Ford. They have always offered competitive rates on financing and less running around than going from place to place to check on rates at different financial institutions. Sure I may save a few dollars by getting the loan thru my regular credit union. (NEVER NEVER will I deal with a BANK if I have any choice what-so-ever) (especially Chase Mortgage for a mortgage loan--but that is another story)
Mr. Johnson runs a fair, honest business. Texas Motors Ford sales and service departments really do take care of their customers. I have also have great maintenance and repair service from Reynolds Ford in Moore, Oklahoma.
I have been waiting for and finally have retired and the last truck I bought was in 2003. It has been virtually free of needing much in the way of repair. What repair was needed was my own fault for running off an elevated curb between two parking lots. Just couldn't see the drop off as it was. Regular maintenance is all that I've done otherwise, oil changes, transmission fluids, wipers, etc. My truck is still going strong and repair free after 10 years and 103k miles. Just a regular F150 triton xlt that I've worked hard and sometimes put up wet.
The deal is though, find yourself a dealer that you respect and that has great customer service after the sale. They will all promise the moon and more but once you find a good dealer, they will do their best to keep you and that includes their best financing offers.

Best Business at the Bank4,688 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Best Business at the Bank
By Bhurijana dasa
Hare Krsna. One river, 2 banks, 6 boats, 2 birds, and a spot on the camera lens that just may be the setting sun. But because the river is the holy Yamuna in Sri Vrindavana dham, it nevertheless is a sweet scene.
Within that scene place Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who wanders along the banks of the lotus-filled Yamuna River with His most intimate associates. His focus is His own pleasure, and due to the special quality of the Vrajabasi's loving service to Him, He is forced by that love to award them pleasure even more exalted than His own.
"That is the real picture of God. The Vrndavana-lila of Krsna is the perfect presentation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He's simply enjoying. And all the inhabitants of Vrndavana, the gopis, the cowherd boys, Maharaja Nanda, Yasoda, everyone is simply anxious how to make Krsna happy.
They have no other business. The inhabitants of Vrndavana have no other business than to satisfy Krsna, and Krsna has no other business.
Yasoda-nandana brajajana-ranjana.
He's acting as the little son of Yasoda, and His only business is how to please the inhabitants of Vrndavana.
Yasoda-nandana brajajana-ranjana. And yamuna-tira-vana-cari.
And He's wandering in the forest of Vrndavana on the bank of the Yamuna.
This is the actual picture of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But Brahma, Indra, big, big demigods, they are also bewildered. They are sometimes mistaken, that "How this cowherd boy can become the Supreme Personality of Godhead?" Just like some of us think like that.
But those who are thinking like that, for them also, there is manifestation of Krsna's supremacy. Brajajana-ballabha giri-vara-dhari. Although he's engaged in pleasing the inhabitants of Vraja, but when there is need, He can lift up the Govardhana Hill — at the age of seven years. Or He can kill the Putana at the age of three months.
And so many demons used to visit daily. Krsna used to go with the calves and cows, with His friends in the forest, and every day Kamsa used to send one kind of demon to kill them — Aghasura, Bakasura, Dhenukasura, so many.
So although Krsna is playing just like a cowherd boy, His supremacy as the Supreme Personality of Godhead is never absent. That is God."
(Lecture by Srila Prabhupada on Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Gorakhpur, February 17, 1971)

Perhaps it's the resulting speed and power or perhaps it's just the satisfaction gained when building something right and getting things done. Either way, Philip Petracca's '03 Infiniti G35 coupe is the manifestation of everything good about a well-built and fine-tuned twin-turbocharged import car that's sure to be a threat to rivals on and off the track.
The two most appealing facets about this project are its emphasis on building a scalable bottom-end and its meticulous top-end configuration. Everything else was done with the utmost regard to performance and perfection without an apparent cost consideration. Making the tale even more interesting is the long and difficult road traveled by Petracca due to the lack of early aftermarket support for the G35. As he put it, "This is no one else's molested project car." No stranger to motorsports, Petracca, who is also a world champion car audio competitor, secured the very first G35 coupe that landed at the local dealership in his central New Jersey hometown. Without regard to the warning signs, this project was off to a start. The obstacles that had to be overcome for making big power with the VQ platform were numerous, but for the most part on par with many mid-market production cars today.
As an example, the OEM fuel system on the G35 is returnless, an increasingly common solution by manufacturers to keep gasoline from having to make several trips to the engine compartment before passing through the fuel injectors. The returnless system reduces fuel temperatures in the tank, causing a reduction in fuel vapors to make it more environmentally friendly. However, it relies heavily on the ECU to manage fuel pump output. Cooler fuel has its performance benefit, in that it cools the incoming air/fuel mixture and combustion chambers. These systems aren't compatible with aftermarket engine management units since they would add another layer of complexity in high-performance applications with relatively little benefit.
Money was better spent elsewhere, like on the Weston Machine installed Darton steel liners, Wiseco forged pistons and the Power Enterprise twin-turbo kit with Full-Race upgraded Garrett GT2871R medium-frame ball bearing turbochargers. The steel liners generally found in top fuel dragsters, Darton's largest market, serve as the foundation for safely making big power. Among the key benefits are less cylinder wall wear and better ring seal surface that eliminate leak down and reduce friction between the sleeve and the Wiseco 8.8:1 oversized forged pistons. Full-Race replaced the PE1420 IHI turbos supplied in the Power Enterprise kit with the Garrett turbochargers because the IHI turbos aren't capable of breaking the 550hp mark. The GT28 turbos feature larger turbine and compressor wheels contributing to the 726 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque at 19.5 psi on C16 fuel. When bolted to a 1.8L engine - and each bank of the VQ35DE is close to that - one GT2871R is capable of at least 280 hp at the flywheel, therefore in pairs the turbos should yield 560 hp. Based on dyno figures, this configuration is far more potent since it increases displacement-to-output efficiencies beyond what is probable, much closer to the 900+hp hypothetical maximum flywheel output capability of, say, a twin-turbocharged 6.0L engine.
With dual turbochargers forcing air through the engine, significant modifications were necessary for the stock intake tract and cylinder head to handle the increased flow. The intake system, designed to provide air the path of least resistance, begins at the Power Enterprise Air Impulse II filter, where air enters the intake through the large front-mount intercooler, and moves to the Crawford raised plenum and the HeadGames Motorworks ported and polished heads. The Crawford plenum fixes many of the design tradeoffs inherent with the OEM part by increasing the plenum height around the number one and number four cylinders while still clearing the hood. By raising the plenum height, balanced airflow is achieved at each cylinder. Dave Localio at HeadGames outfitted the G35 cylinder heads with a number of goodies typically found in high-performance applications, like Ferrea valves, Jim Wolf Technology cams and Cometic headgaskets. ARP 0.5-inch head studs resolve the lifting issues in the cylinder that occurred past the 500hp mark - a congenital limitation of the stock VQ platform. The stock connecting rods and main studs were replaced with Pauter forged rods and ARP studs respectively.
The VQ35DE is also sensitive to backpressure, especially following such induction system modifications. Available aftermarket exhaust system options presented limitations around the 550hp mark, therefore something custom needed to be built. Don Zubritsky of Straightlinetuning.com rose to the challenge and pieced together a dual exhaust system that featured 3-inch stainless steel piping and Magnaflow race mufflers.
The stand-alone HKS F-CON V Pro ECU presents the optimal solution for fuel and timing control. This almighty brain behind complex operations is capable of adjusting fuel delivery parameters based on intake air conditions to match a target air/fuel mixture value. Subsequently, various HKS sensors and harnesses to support engine management functions were added. The F-CON's full data logging capabilities include information on vehicle and engine speed, water and intake air temperature, timing, boost and injector duty cycles, which can all be downloaded. The Twin Power DLI II ignition amplifier unit from HKS controls spark duration, intensity and accuracy. Much was required when it came time for the fuel system makeover, though. Inside the tank, a 255lph Walbro pump provides the necessary volume for the high-pressure Bosch race pump that's externally mounted to an Altered Atmosphere Motorsports (AAM) fuel surge tank. The surge tank reduces fuel feed problems typical during extreme acceleration and cornering. Further downstream, AAM CNC-machined billet aluminum fuel rails deliver fuel to the RC Engineering 1,000cc injectors before passing through the pressure regulator and terminating back into the tank. Fuel plumbing consists of braided stainless steel hoses and anodized aluminum fittings.
Engine lubrication and cooling also needed to be improved to handle the additional demands placed on the modified VQ. The large Power Enterprise oil pan increases oil holding capacities and reduces oil temperatures by allowing each Motul 300V synthetic oil particle to sit in the pan for a longer period of time and lose more heat before being pumped by a Rev-up oil pump to a Setrab 6 series 19-row oil cooler and back into service. Because elevated coolant temperatures became an issue with the high-output configuration, a Koyo race radiator along with a Nismo thermostat and Samco hoses add to the ever-expanding parts list.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay man convicted of killing his girlfriend will spend the rest of his life in prison.
On Friday, a judge sentenced Michael Whitmire to life in prison with parole eligibility after 30 years.
Whitmire pled guilty to fatally stabbing Ouida Wright back in May.
Investigators say Whitmire told them he and Wright were arguing at a home on Day Street when he grabbed a knife and stabbed her. Friday in court, both Whitmire and the victim's daughter spoke.
"I'm very sorry for what happened. What I took away from your family and also my family. It is so hard to live with this day in and day out," said Whitmire.
"No amount of time that can be sentenced here today will ever be enough to replace the mother that I've lost," said Jessica Wright, victim's daughter.
Court documents show he and the victim had been dating for nine months.

Letter: Get to work, Congress
An open letter to government: Thank you for taking even more out of our taxes. You scumbags (Republicans and some Democrats) have robbed the working man even more in your crusade against the president. Since affordable health care, among other things, is such a problem, feel free to dispense some stimulus checks if and when you and the president can come to an agreement.
As for you, Mr. President, I understand that when it hits the fan, you try to ease the minds of Americans, but don't blow smoke up my poop-stack to try to lessen the blow. You promised change, yet you deploy troops to Syria, have us going through a depression and we're now looking for 2016 for a change.
I understand that when you got into office, that it would take almost three terms to fix Bush's faux pas. I see it gradually getting worse. You, the GOP and Congress need to take a look at the haphazard state that this country is in and FIX IT!

Bike sharing programs are emerging around the country in popularity. A timely study from the American Journal of Public Health finds that cyclists utilizing a bike-sharing program in Washington, D.C., are much less likely to wear helmets than are their comparable counterparts riding personal bicycles.
Researchers set out to assess helmet use among users in Washington, D.C., in a cross-sectional study, observing riders for a 30-day period from September to October 2011 at 37 different locations within geographic range of the Capital Bikeshare program. A total of 2,297 cyclists were observed; of these, 1,410 were observed at time and locations consistent with being daily commuters and 887 being casual riders. They found that helmet use was significantly less common among Bikeshare users than comparable cyclists on their own. Persons observed using Capital Bikeshare at time and locations consistent with being a daily commuter had one fifth the odds of helmet use of those observed at the same time and locations on private bicycles.
"This research suggests that bike-sharing programs should invest effort in helmet promotion activities. Some have suggested mandatory helmet laws, and past research suggests that helmet laws would likely increase the proportion of cyclists wearing helmets, but they may also impede the use of bicycle-sharing programs."

The choice of supermarket linked to obesity rates
Shopping at lower cost supermarkets may be closely linked to higher obesity rates, reports a recent study from the American Journal of Public Health.
Researchers sought to determine whether physical proximity to food stores or food prices within the store would be more strongly associated with obesity rates, adjusting for individual level demographics, education, and income.
Researchers obtained data through the Seattle Obesity Study, based on a representative sample of adult residents of King County, Washington, which includes the city of Seattle. Data on sociodemographics, food shopping behaviors, weights and health were obtained through a 25 minute telephone survey. Researchers collected and geocoded data on home addresses and food shopping destinations, including brand names and addresses of supermarkets that were identified as the primary food source. Supermarkets were stratified into three price levels based on the average cost of a market basket of 100 foods.
Researchers found that only one in seven respondents reported shopping at the nearest supermarket. They accounted for this by noting, "Although having a supermarket close by can shape shopping patterns in some urban locations, it may be less important in Seattle's King County, where most people shop by car." In contrast, obesity rates were significantly different depending on the supermarket of choice. Obesity prevalence among shoppers in higher price supermarkets was nine percent, which is less than half of the county average (20.5%); whereas obesity prevalence among shoppers in lower price supermarkets was 27 percent, above the county average. Physical distance to the supermarket had no impact on obesity rates.The main findings were that food costs trumped convenience. Bringing supermarkets closer to underserved areas may be one way to deal with the obesity epidemic. Reducing economic distance by making healthy foods more affordable is another strategy that should not be overlooked. "Systematic efforts to reduce obesity will need to take economic inequalities into account. Ensuring equitable access to healthy affordable foods, with the emphasis on affordable, may be key," concluded the study's authors.

Unemployment puts Americans at greater risk for mortality than their German counterparts, particularly minimum to medium skilled level employees
The different ways high-income capitalist countries organize their economies may have profound distributional consequences on the health of its workers, reports a recent comparative study between Germany and U.S. published the American Journal of Public Health. Americans will minimum and medium-skilled workers faired the worst, whereas their German counterparts had more safety nets.
Researchers examined the relationship between unemployment and mortality in Germany, a coordinated market economy, and the United States, a liberal market economy, among two comparable working age cohorts. They hypothesized that the higher levels of unemployment protection in Germany would mediate the effect of unemployment on mortality compared with the United States and that the gradient in the risk of unemployment on mortality by general education status would be steeper in the U.S. compared with Germany. They used the German Socio-Economic Panel and the American Panel Study of Income Dynamics to gather the two working-age cohorts from 1984 to 2005. While they found an increased risk of dying for all unemployed in both Germany and America, in almost all cases the relative risk was higher for American unemployed. Minimum-and medium-skilled unemployed Americans had the highest absolute risks of dying, not found among Germans.
The study's authors stated, "These findings suggest that the unemployment-mortality relationship may be mediated by the institutional and economic environment."

Don't let the bright sunshine fool you, polar bear plungers hurried to warm up after participating in "Freezing for a Reason."
Lauren Washburn organized the event to raise money and awareness for a topic that has hit close to home.
"I started this because in my family, I've had close family members to me, I have lost family members to suicide. And I think it's really important to talk about these things and be able to address them like we should," said Washburn.
Washburn says the event already gathered nearly two thousand dollars in donations online prior to Sunday's event.
Money raised from wristband and t-shirt sales, as well as participant registration, will go to the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide as well as the Cop to Cop program.
"It's a peer to peer program where police officers can talk to other officers about topics, whatever they need to talk about, to get through some of the harder things in life," said Local 24 PBA President Paul Barbere.
And at "Freezing for a Reason," both the attendance and temperatures of the water exceeded expectations.
"Believe it or not it wasn't as cold as I thought it would be. A little cold but I'm feeling it now," said Barbere.
"We thought it would be a little bit colder but we're kind of glad it's not colder. But we had fun, good people showed up, good people donated, it was a good experience," said polar bear plunger Drew Washburn.
"Freezing for a Reason organizers hope today's polar bear plunge starts a tradition while opening a dialog about suicide prevention.
"There is such a stigma surrounding suicide, everybody becomes instantly quite when you start talking about it," said Lauren Washburn.
"So I think it's important you do get the word out and start talking about it."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A civil complaint was filed in court on Monday against the Camp Taylor Fire District and Deputy Chief Steve Adkins. Two firefighters, Michael Killebrew and George Givens, claim they've been subjected to a sexually hostile work environment.
They allege Adkins made sexually inappropriate and offensive comments on several occasions in front of others. They also made claims of physical harassment by Adkins including hitting, pushing and striking both men in the testicles.
The plaintiffs are also suing the fire district claiming it failed to eliminate the harassment and prevent it.
Adkins had no comment while speaking with WHAS-11 over the phone.
The district and Adkins have 20 days to respond to the lawsuit after being served.

Eric Church broke through to country music's A-list with his last album, Chief , but he's not going back to that winning formula on his new release, The Outsiders , due out this week. Instead of just making Chief Part Two, Eric decided to let the songs lead him down new creative paths in the studio.
"We were at a point in our career where I understand that that we had two choices," Eric explains. "I could have continued to do what 'Drink in My Hand,' 'Springsteen,' 'Creepin'' [did]. I know how to do those things. I know how to continue the career that way. I think we made a conscious effort to challenge ourselves artistically and do something that was artistic."
After writing more than 120 songs for The Outsiders , Eric took great care in selecting and sequencing the tracks that made the final cut. The end result is a 12-song album that he says truly is greater than the sum of its parts.
Says Eric, "There's two songs on this album, that if you pull them out of the album, I like 'em. I just don't love 'em near as much as if you put 'em back in, because of the space that they give the songs in between and what I feel when I listen to the record."
That's why Eric insists fans listen to The Outsiders in its entirety once it comes out Tuesday.
"It's an album. It's start to finish," Eric says. "Shuffle is gonna aggravate me on this if people play shuffle, 'cause it's not right. It needs to be listened to as an album."
No matter how The Outsiders is received, Eric feels sure he's done his part to move the country format forward with his new music. While it's easy to blame tightened radio playlists and record label politics for the sound-alike country songs on the charts, Eric thinks it's the artists responsibility to come up with fresh and exciting music.
He says, "If you're gonna be one of those artists, a relevant artist, it's up to you to carry that artistic flag and do something with it. I think that's what we did. That's what we chose on this album. We made it that way."
The latest single from The Outsiders , "Give Me Back My Hometown," is now climbing the country chart.

Annual Cancer Center Directors' Retreat
In the late 1960s, 12 cancer centers were NCI-funded. With the enactment of the National Cancer Act in 1971, the Cancer Centers Program formally established and funded 15 additional cancer centers. "The National Cancer Institute should closely study the use of cancer research centers," the legislation stated, "for it is here that many impressive research findings are being and will be uncovered. It is also here that the effectiveness of these findings can be proved." In fact, our cancer centers have become extraordinary gravitational forces attracting intellectual capital, financial resources, and programmatic opportunities.
A significant portion of NCI's funding portfolio is vested in these cancer centers. To their great credit, the centers have leveraged this investment with contributions from academic institutions and private philanthropy to build programs in cancer research, nanotechnology, prevention, care, and education that receive world-wide acclaim. How are we then going to optimally utilize this enormous resource? By greater integration among cancer centers and greater coordination with NCI and health delivery systems. To assist in this integration and coordination among the cancer centers, a significant outcome of the retreat was enthusiastic agreement to immediately begin to adopt the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) for clinical research. caBIG can immediately offer the cancer centers Web-based clinical trials protocol sharing, clinical trials data capture tools, and participant registry based on common vocabularies and data elements. Additionally, retreat participants discussed how to manage planned technology development to maximize capabilities across the cancer community. NCI continues to foster more integration among the intramural and extramural clinical research enterprises and state and regional cancer programs. We need to encourage geographic associations of groups that will increase their impact by affiliation - particularly in underserved areas.
Guidelines for the cancer centers are undergoing revision to simplify and provide for a more streamlined review process. Other priority areas:
The chance to share ideas among NCI leadership and the cancer center directors provided a valuable opportunity to synergize and integrate this important resource of the National Cancer Program; I plan to repeat it annually. I also reported on the retreat at the joint Board of Scientific Advisors/Board of Scientific Counselors meeting yesterday. For additional information on the cancer centers and a list of the directors, see http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/

Chris Cunningham x Audi City
Chris Cunningham is a relentlessly experimental creator who defies categorisation. His work is shaped by the sci-fi films and electronic music he devoured in his youth. The frenetic, wildly inventive music videos he made for Aphex Twin ( "Windowlicker", "Come to Daddy") and Bjork ( "All Is Full of Love") redefined the form and has influenced high fashion, advertising, blockbuster movies and low-budget horror flicks alike over the last decade.
In recent years he has moved further away from the music video genre and now creates independent video works, which no longer have their starting point as commissions. His video and sound art has been shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Venice Bienalle, the Barbican, the Anthony D'offay gallery amongst others and his live show at The Royal Opera House, The Roundhouse and Royal Festival Hall.
Chris has created his own disturbing visual language, that pits the grotesque imperfections of human anatomy against high technology embodied in robots and hallucinatory motion effects.
Always driven forward by its ethos of Vorsprung durch Technik, Audi City is a new venture that uses technology to create space in the city centre. For five days in Mayfair, Audi reveals a site-specific installation of Chris Cunningham's latest work. Enormous industrial robots veer around one another in a mysterious room. Their motors are syncopated with the room's metronome and they embark on a frenetic interchange over a mechanical 'brain'.
Stay tuned for more information on the installation and how YOU can win tickets to experience this artwork.

The death of Winnipeg Jets centre Rick Rypien on Monday marked the second time this year a young NHL player suddenly passed away. The former Canuck was found dead in his home in CrowsnestPass, Alta. Rypien, who went undrafted out of the Regina Pats, played six seasons with the Canucks. He was also a big part of their farm team, the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League and had recently signed a one-year $700,000 contract with the Jets. Rypien is the second "tough guy" to pass away in this off season. Former New York Rangers forward Derek Boogard was found dead in May. His death was ruled accidental, due to a lethal mixing of alcohol and oxycodone.
Unfortunately, Rypien and Boogard are not the first NHLers to pass away during their careers, as we look back at some players of the league who left us before their time.
Dan Snyder, Atlanta Thrashers
Snyder played as a centre for the Atlanta Thrashers when he was involved in a single-vehicle accident in which he was the passenger. The driver, fellow teammate Dany Heatley, lost control of the car and crashed in a brick pillar and iron fence. Snyder fell into a coma and died six days later on Oct. 5, 2003. He played in only 49 games and tallied 11 goals. Before their relocation to Winnipeg, the Thrashers had named an annual award after him, given to the player that "best embodies perseverance, dedication, and hard work without reward or recognition, so that his team and teammates might succeed." In the AHL, the Chicago Wolves also have a yearly award given in his honor, the Dan Snyder Man of the Year Award. Likewise, the OHL renamed their Humanitarian of the Year trophy making it the Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy. Snyder was only 25 years old.
Yanick Dupré, Philadelphia Flyers
Dupré was a left winger who participated in 35 games with the Flyers over parts of three NHL seasons from 1992 to 1995. After a 16-month battle with leukemia, Dupré passed away at the age of 24. The Yanick Dupré Memorial is given to the Flyer "best illustrates character, dignity and respect for the sport both on and off the ice" as decided by thePhiladelphia chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. A similar award, given in Dupré's honor, is also presented by the AHL in recognition of a player's community involvement and service.
Steve Chiasson, Carolina Hurricanes
After the Hurricanes were eliminated from the playoffs in Boston, Chiasson had a fatal car accident on the way home from a team party at the home of teammate Gary Roberts. According to teammates, Chiasson insisted on driving himself despite a blood alcohol content later found to be 0.27. A statue and plaque in his memory stand inMillenniumPark inPeterborough,ON where he was raised. The Hurricanes established the 'Steve Chiasson Award' to honor the player who best demonstrates determination and dedication. On July 26, 2006, former Flames teammate Cory Stillman brought the Stanley Cup toMillenniumPark after Stillman won the Cup with the Hurricanes. Chiasson was only 32 years old.
Luc Bourdon, Vancouver Canucks
Bourdon was a defenseman who played 36 NHL games with the Vancouver Canucks. The 21-year-old was killed instantly in a motorcycle collision near his hometown of Shippagan on May 29, 2008, when he hit a tractor-trailer after losing control of his 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 and crossing the centre line due to winds gusting to 50 km/h. Bourdon had purchased the motorcycle about three weeks before the fatal accident. Kris Letang, Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman and Bourdon's close friend, had planned to buy a motorcycle but decided against it because of the crash. At General Motors Place inVancouver, the Luc Bourdon Wall of Dreams was established to commemorate his memory.
Who knows? They may now be part of a new team, "the Hockey Gods" whom we love to pray to when we need our team to make it to the Finals. May they rest in peace.

|Buffer memory optimization for video codec application modeled in Simulink
|Sang-Il Han1X. Guérin1Soo-Ik Chae1A. A. Jerraya1
|Reduction of the on-chip memory size is a key issue in video codec system design. Because video codec applications involve complex algorithms that are both data-intensive and controldependent, memory optimization based on global and precise analysis of data and control dependency is required. We generate a memory-efficient C code from a restricted Simulink model, which can represent both data and control dependency explicitly, by applying two buffer memory optimization techniques: copy removal and buffer sharing. Copy removal is performed while parsing the Simulink model. Buffer sharing requires global scheduling and formal lifetime analysis. Experimental results on an H.264 video decoder show that the buffer memory size and execution time of the C code generated by the proposed method are 71% and 32% less than those of the C code produced by Simulink?s C code generator, respectively. When compared to the hand written C code, the memory size was reduced by 27% while its execution time was increased by only 3%.

• Multi-gemstone and sterling silver pendant enhancer with snap hinge bail
• Variscite, aquamarine, iolite and greenish-blue turquoise
• Measures 2-1/2" long x 1-5/8" wide
• Made in America with gemstones from around the world
Like drops of morning dew catching the sun with bursts of colorful light, this gemstone enhancer is a charmful accent for your collection. Sterling silver streamers crafted in an inverted fan design with elegant pebbled and smooth lines cascade with grace to cabochons of variscite, aquamarine, iolite and greenish-blue turquoise.
Learn more about our jewelry
As the sun peeks over the horizon, tiny beads of dew upon leaves and flowers glow in the soft, new light. The sterling silver's granular finish evokes the texture of dew drops, while cool cabochons of iolite, blue turquoise, variscite and aquamarine capture the refreshing palette of water at dawn.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Club Northwest Racewalking - Home Page
Racewalking is for everyone. Go to the links below and see how racewalking can help with your fitness and competition goals.
1. Fitness walkers and walking for weight loss
We had an informal 3K on our new Magnuson Park course April 19th, and it worked well. Start is near the bathroom off the beach area. Course is a 750 stretch as the road is not long enough to allow a full 1000 meters so we go 500 north, then 250 south. A loop back and forth is thus be 1500 meters and makes for good opportunities for 3K and 5K races. The course is marked with white paint, and the start line is the blue line just north of the bathroom, with the turnarounds marked by white circles where the cones are placed. Try it out next time you are in the area.
Take the 65th Street entrance to Magnuson Park, go downhill to the near the end, then make the left before the boat launch area. The beach will be on the right so park along that road, or in the lot at the end of it.
I have scheduled a late summer race, on September 20th, a 5K, and the race has been sanctioned as the Association Championship road 5K.
Our "Ask me about racewalking" hats are still available and great to wear during our winter season. These are for our active walkers and were paid for out of leftover Pacific Pacer funds to help promote racewalking. I'll have these at our SSR races or if you want one at another time, contact me and I'll mail one out or hook up to deliver one.
Here is the starting line at the Regional Hour walk in Banks, Oregon, on Oct 21st, 2012. 45 degrees at the start so we are bundled up.
Club Northwest Racewalking
We are now integrated into Club Northwest and race under their banner. They are club number 36-0116 for your USATF registrations.
Here is the CNW membership link. Club Northwest Cost is $50 annually and you get a nice navy blue performance fabric CNW shirt the first time you join. There are also event discounts, Northwest Runner subscriptions, and other benefits of membership. The distinctive orange singlet we see at races must be purchased separately but is good quality and will last a long time. See me in the front row above in the new singlet. Steve in the back has an old model and lighter, faded color.
I'll continue to publish the Website, and hold the monthly informal races and clinic at Green Lake. I'll also continue to sit on the PNTF board as the racewalk chair and also attend CNW team meetings as needed to help organize our events and races.
See our schedule page for
current and ongoing events and the
results page for past events.

It seems we're always wrestling with our email inboxes. But Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano just gave up the fight all together. She doesn't use email. From Politico:
"I think email just sucks up time," Janet Napolitano told an incredulous group of reporters on Tuesday, speaking at a breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Monitor.
"In many respects, in a job like mine, it's inefficient," Napolitano said, noting that she is briefed by staff frequently and prefers to use the phone for much of her work. "I stopped using email when I was attorney general of Arizona. I was like, 'Why am I spending my time scrolling through this?'"
Napolitano's preference has us wondering, is it better that powerful people are unreachable via email? Or does Napolitano's tactic simply create more work for everyone around her?
That's right. Clients don't have to just be on the receiving end of our work. Patrick Hanlon at Inc. explores the ways that clients can become collaborators. He writes:
Today, consumers aren't just your buyers, they can also be your collaborators. They can help you design, build, promote, and sometimes even distribute your products or services.
He pulls an example from the business world about working with customers at the onset:
First, collaborating with customers during the product innovation and design phase helps marketers understand real need states. P&G, GE, Yum! brands, and others bring consumers into early stages of design and development.
Hanlon stopped short of really answering the question, so let's discuss it ourselves. How can we collaborate with our clients to enhance our work and processes? How can we use them to gather invaluable feedback to make sure what we're doing – whether it is building a product, developing a new service or executing new promotional ideas – is actually effective? How can we then turn clients into fierce ambassadors invested in our work, of which they feel ownership in?
Let us know in the comments what your experience is with customers as collaborators.
No one really cares that you're an overachiever. As creative professionals, we're seldom satisfied with our output because it's seldom perfect. But more often than not, good enough is perfect. Head of Creative & Design at HubSpot, Keith Frankel, shared a simple guide to recognizing when a deliverable can be considered "good enough."
- It successfully solves the problem, addresses the need, or conveys the message intended.
- It is clearly and distinctly on brand.
- The quality of work is consistent with or above the level of previous work.
- It has been thoroughly yet objectively scrutinized by other qualified individuals.
- The final decision of preference had been left in the hands of the creator.
According to Ayelet Gneezy, Associate Professor at the University of California in San Diego's Rady School of Management, "You really, really want to keep a promise, and anything beyond that is marginal, if anything…Don't kill yourself trying to over deliver."
If you're struggling to feel motivated, using tricks or treats may be all you need to get the momentum going again. Illustrator James Victore swears by the unique approach to getting unstuck:
The first step of getting motivated: identify the type of motivation problem you're having. Are you not motivated by the work itself (such as it doesn't excite you) or are you lacking internal motivation (like a lack of energy because you didn't sleep well last night)?
Once you know the type of motivation problem you're having, you can motivate yourself with tricks like forcing yourself to work for one hour by using a stop watch, or promising a co-worker or peer that you'll get something done in the next 30 minutes. Anything that can "trick" you into getting started on the work.
Alternatively, the treats approach is just that — a literal treat. If you make progress on (or finish) the work, reward yourself with something you've been wanting for a long time.
We've all been there. Attended an exhilarating conference, met fascinating people and left charged… Only to get back home, feeling overwhelmed, pulled quickly back into our day-to-day, to the point that we don't follow-up or follow-through to maximize our conference experience.
On Linkedin Pulse, Nedko Nedkov offers strategies for acting on the learning that takes place at conferences. He suggests:
Before you leave the conference there's two things you need to do. One, is schedule a 30 minutes meeting with your team for the very first day when you arrive back in the office. The second is schedule a one hour slot for yourself either on the very first day or the very next day when you get back.
During the team meeting, Nedkov suggests a conference debrief of what was learned and what's to come, including any assignments. During your personal one-on-one, he suggests that you go through any conference notes and start identifying to-dos and what's next.
The intentionality of sharing and considering what you learned and turning that knowledge into action can possibly make the difference between harnessing that electric energy that we feel after an awesome conference and feeling guilty that we did nothing.
Projects fail all the time. Rather than wait for an ugly postmortem that often follows, why not try to help avert real failures before they happen by playing devil's advocate.
In an interview with The McKinsey Quarterly, psychologist Gary Klein advocates for the use of what he calls a "premortem" in the planning phase, a concept he first introduced on HBR:
Before a project starts, we should say, "We're looking in a crystal ball, and this project has failed; it's a fiasco. Now, everybody, take two minutes and write down all the reasons why you think the project failed."
By making it safe for resistors to voice their concerns during the planning phase, you can improve your project's chance for success.
Tony Schwartz of The Energy Project conducted what he calls The Energy Audit with 160 bank executives and discovered a series of startling things which further supported his theory that we're all experiencing an under-recognized personal energy crisis:
Energy, after all, is the capacity to do work. In the face of relentlessly rising demand, fuelled by digital technology and the expectation of instant 24/7 responsiveness, employees around the world are increasingly burning down their energy reserves and depleting their capacity.
Tony urges us to think of our energy as divided into four layers:
Your physical energy – how healthy are you?
Your emotional energy – how happy are you?
Your mental energy – how well can you focus on something?
Your spiritual energy – why are you doing all of this? What is your purpose?
Building up all four of these elements for a greater capacity of physical energy will build the base for getting better at whatever it is you want to improve.

Toothpaste was available but most people did not have the money to buy it. My mother mixed salt and soda to use as a toothpaste. It worked, removed stains and made a pleasant look to your smile, but it tasted horrible.
