Turning to Native Bees as Pollinators Amid Honeybee Die-Off
Northeast fruit growers look to gain more knowledge about more solitary bees
Since 2006, much of the West has experienced unusually sharp declines in honeybee numbers, so much so that the unprecedented decline was given a name: Colony Collapse Disorder, a phenomenon where worker bees seem to simply vanish. While scientists ponder the reasons for the collapse of honeybees, fruit farmers face extra pressure to pollinate their crops. Now, a handful of researchers in the Northeast are proposing that fruit growers in Maine, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut might look to the lesser-known members of the bee family to take up the slack.
A bumblebee gathered pollen from a cosmos flower near a foggy blueberry field in Blue Hill, Maine. This big black and yellow member of the Apidae family is a native bee, unlike its cousin the honeybee, which isn't actually native to the US at all. Honeybees only been in North America for as long as Europeans have been here; before they were here, there were the mason bees, sweat bees, and bumblebees.
"These native pollinators are always around and they're in the background and they can provide very important economic benefits from pollination," said Frank Drummond. He is an insect specialist working on a five year research project that's shifting the spotlight from the European honeybee to the numerous other native bees.
"We have over 250 species of bees that reside in Maine and that live naturally in the landscape that perform pollination services," Drummond said.
But those services gone largely unnoticed. It's easy to see why honeybees have managed to dominate the field for hundreds of years. Not only do they provide products like honey and wax, but as pollinators, farmers know more about them. They congregate in colonies which makes them easy to transport and control. By contrast, many native bees are actually solitary creatures. They can't be corralled or moved around easily, and they're often small and easily missed. For this reason said Drummond, it takes a lot more insect knowledge to exploit the potential of native bees. For this reason, many blueberry farmers in Maine pollinate their crops by renting commercial hives of honeybees.
"But, what has happened since the 1990s is that honeybee prices have increased four fold. And that the uncertainty of honeybees now because of colony collapse disorder has made honey bees less certain in the future, and so now it's really the time to start thinking about a more secure sustainable method of pollination, and that involves relying on native pollinators," he said.
"There is a dearth of knowledge about these native bees. We don't really know all the players or their biology yet, and so figuring out how to present habitat for them that will improve their chances of contributing to the blueberry crop starts with figuring out who's out there and what do they need for habitat," said Allison Dibble. She's a botanist and ecologist working with Drummond on the native bee project.
She's busy weeding and overseeing a carefully controlled strip of brightly flowering plants. Dibble has laid out a smorgasbord of blooms for bees, all different colors and varieties. Surprisingly, not much is known about what native bees really like to eat or what attracts them. And how and where farmers can maximize such strips of tasty flowers is still unclear. Aaron Hoshide is a farm economist. He said whether or not a grower is going to reap much benefit from providing bee habitat, is something that has to be calculated on a case by case basis.
"That acre of pollinator strip that you put in that is costing you anywhere from $500 to $900 has to be borne by the cash crop," Hoshide said. "So the question is how many acres of the cash crop is associated with that acre of strip."
In other words, if a farmer has ten acres of berries to an acre of flower strip which costs $600 dollars to put in, the farmer will need to get an extra $60 per blueberry acre to break even on the bee strip. There are many variables involved to making blueberries pay, said Hoshide. Some less developed farms may be at a disadvantage, because it will take more to prepare undeveloped land for the habitat. But with farmers paying as much as $1,000 per acre just for honeybee hive rental, a sustainable population of low maintenance pollinators is an attractive prospect for blueberry farmers like Todd Cheney of Blue Hill.
"I'd like to see the farm self-sufficient, where everything we needed to manage the blueberry crop was right here," Cheney said. "It would save you a lot of money, you'd be managing in a sustainable way, that's why we're interested in this."
In addition to helping the fruit industry, the study is necessary for a more sobering reason. Little is known about the health and numbers of native bee populations. Some species in Southern New England have already become extinct. If Colony Collapse Disorder can wipe out honeybees, Frank Drummond said there's no guarantee that something similar can't happen to native bees.

Level Money for Android and iOS
August 16, 2014
An iPhone and Android app for determining how much money you can spend today, this week and this month.
There are piles of cash flow tracking applications out there, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. We recently came across a personal finance app that allows individuals to track their spending and income habits without having to change the names of transactions or view intensive reports about where they spend their money. It is a straightforward tool to show you exactly what money you can spend and what money you can't.
When starting Level Money, you will be prompted to input your email address and create a password. Next, the application will ask you to link the debit or credit card accounts that you use for everyday spending. Once you have linked all of your accounts, it will analyze your accounts to determine what your income level is.

As of Wednesday, December 21, 2011

A senator for the state with the most bank failures in the nation is excited about a study to look into the cause of the trend.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, as well as Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, sponsored the legislation, which sets up the studies. It passed the House of Representatives this week and has been sent to President Obama for his signature.
"Since 2008, there have been more than 400 bank failures nationwide," Chambliss said. "Seventy-three of those have occurred in Georgia alone. It is clear that Congress needs more information about the underlying causes of these bank failures. If there is a better way to resolve this crisis, we must pursue it. This bill is the first step to doing that."
A press release said the legislation would provide for two studies -- one conducted by the Inspector General of the FDIC and one by the General Accounting Office to look into the impact some of the policies and procedures of the FDIC and whether they may have negatively affected troubled institutions.
The studies would look at banks in the 10 states with the highest number of failures: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, and Washington.
The president is expected to sign the bill into law before the end of the year, the release said.
"When I ask federal regulators why so many banks in Georgia and across the country have failed and continue to fail, I'm given dozens of different excuses, but no real solutions to stopping this epidemic," said Westmoreland, a Republican who represents west central Georgia. "Community banks are the economic engine of our towns and cities, and the large number of failed banks in Georgia can have a devastating effect on our economic recovery. Without these local lenders, job growth and economic investment can dry up an unmistakable reality proven by the fact that the 10 states with the highest number of failures also have some of the highest unemployment and foreclosure rates in the country.
"Hopefully, this legislation can lead to answers to not only what's behind these bank failures but also answers to how we can make sure this doesn't happen again in the future," he said.
Beaudreau welcomes daughter
Congratulations to Commissioner Mike Beaudreau and his wife Tegwen.
The pair welcomed a baby girl at 6:32 p.m. Friday after more than 12 hours of labor.
Mary-Margaret Anne Beaudreau weighed in at 8 pounds, 4 ounces and was 20 and three-quarter inches long.
"She's a good healthy girl," the commissioner said of his first-born child.
The baby was named after Tegwen's late mother Mary-Margaret and Beaudreau's grandmother, who was also named Margaret. She has been nicknamed Maggie.
"We're definitely still adjusting," Beaudreau said Wednesday of some late nights with his new bundle of joy. "It's exciting but you get short on sleep. ... (Sleep) would be a nice Christmas present."

Camie, it is not rocket science. Banks fail when they make loans to people and institutions who don't pay them back. Banks are victims only to their own bad judgements.

Rate Dr. Harry Spiera
Dr. Harry Spiera's Ratings
I wonder why the ratings are being eliminated or deleted. I agree that the staff is horrible and turns people off. I am contemplating leaving the practice because it is simply too hard to deal with passive aggression. The rater who explained the good-cop bad-cop scenario may be quite right. The doctor is likely hiding behind the mean staff who do his bidding for him. The doctor needs to realize that this is turning people off!

It is indeed a pleasure to have the opportunity to review and comment on this truly wonderful and highly skilled professional. I am 69 years old and have been a patient of Dr. Spiera since I was 23 years of age. He is the best doctor and human being I have ever met. I suffer from polymyositis and he has been a true savior during all these years. He is knowledgeable, compassionate and a pleasure to speak with. I consider him my Guru.He is an excellent diagnosticion. If anyone would ask, I will always recommend him highly.

After reading the reviews I was anxious about my appointmnet. I should not have been. Everyone in the office was very professional and helpful. I found Dr. Spiera to be knowledgeable and shared a lot of info about my issue that my other rheumotologist had not. I would highly recommend Dr. Spiera and his office.

Dr Spiera has been my doctor for nearly 30 years and he has, as others have remarked, saved my life several times. On the other hand, dealing with the manager of of his office is more than simply unpleasant, and even degrading; and after a really extraordinarily rude remarks she made to me, I decided that i must find another doctor. Much as think he is a fine physician, I'm too old to deal with this kind of stuff. In the end, I did get to see another doctor in the practice who was quite nice - but I had to explain to her 30 years of disease. The staff in Robert Spiera's office, especially those who have known me for a very long time, are perfectly nice - but let me tell you!!!!

The doctor is a very fine physician with that said part of using a doctor's office is dealing with the office help.All the years I have been going to doctor's offices I have never delt with such a nasty, rude and uncaring dog in my life.The first time I went there I had to drive a long distance from New Jersey and I asked her where the off street parking lots are she hung up on me.I ultimately left the office because of her.I went to him 4 times then I had enough.She's not efficient she's just plain nasty and rude.She got angry when my mother asked her where the ladies room was.She is more qualified to be a boxer then a secretary in a doctor's office.There is no excuse for this.All of this reflects badly on the Doctor's in the office. I had enough.Go someplace else.

No problem with his secretary. I have been a patient for over twenty years and have watched as patients DEMAND appointments that are unavailable, ask for ridiculous accomodations, break appointments without adequate notice and are generally pains in the you know what. This Doctor is the best in his field. He has a very busy office. His secretary is efficient, smart and capable. Every office should have a secretary like her!

I really like Dr. Spiera himself, but agree with of the last comments that has staff is rude and awful. I think it is possible to find a good doctor with a staff that doesn't treat patients like they are a hassle! Any good doctor should be aware of this.

A 30 hour power outage following Friday's severe weather causes schools in Fort Scott, Kansas to keep their doors shut today because of rotten food.
"We've lost mostly refrigerated items that are potentially hazardous foods - milks and juices, cheese, any protein that we had already thawed," says Robin Button, the Food Service Director for the Fort Scott School District.
State and federal law requires schools to provide meals to its student body and with most of Fort Scott grocery stores also dealing with spoiled food, the school had no choice but to close for the day.
"I'm sure it didn't make everybody happy but at the same time I feel like it's giving us an opportunity to do a thorough examination of the buildings," says Fort School Superintendent Diane Gross. "I would say that it's something that we want to make sure that we're able to deal with because we know it's probably not the last time we're going to see this."
According to Button the school has an insurance deductible of $10,000, meaning the schools will pay out of pocket if the damaged food does not exceed that amount.
Though the final numbers are not in Button suspects the damages, though significant, will not be in the $10,000 range.
While the day off from school may have been inconvenient for parents and students, most understand why it had to occur.
Superintendent Gross says the schools are making lists of what is lost and scheduling a replacement food and drinks before breakfast on Thursday.
The district is also looking into the purchase of generators to prevent food spoilage during the next power outage.

Welcome to Hague Quality Water of Moncton
Hague Quality Water of Moncton and Hague Quality Water of Halifax are divisions of Jason's Plumbing & Heating Inc with a provincially centralized head office located in Moncton NB.
From humble beginnings in 1994 and with 10 years experience as journeyman plumber, Jason Martin started Jason's Plumbing & Heating Inc, building it into one of the largest plumbing companies in northern NB, providing sales and service from Miramichi to Campbelton, and from Fredericton to the Quebec border with all points in between. In 2009 after concentrating only on water treatment for several years, the business was relocated to Moncton NB putting more emphasis on ONLY water treatment. Today Jason's Plumbing treats water for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses.
Being quick to adapt to new products and technologies, Jason maintains direct contact as much as possible with the manufacturers of ion exchange resins, filtration medias, and the new types of equipment needed to treat water more efficiently and with better results.
As a result of this quality of service & expertise, Hague Quality Water of Moncton has become the largest dealer in Atlantic Canada for Hague Quality Water International of Columbus Ohio, one of the largest manufacturers of water treatment products in North America which is still family owned. Of all the products Hague Manufactures, none have had the impact as much as the Watermax system. Jason and his team are consistantly 2nd or 3rd in Canada for Hague product sales and has achieved 8th and 9th place in March and May respectively in 2011.

Windows Phone 8 an iPhone killer?
The software giant has long struggled to break into the smartphone market, but its new operating system is winning rave reviews.
Microsoft (MSFT) unveiled Windows Phone 8 at a conference in San Francisco on Monday, its latest effort to break into a smartphone market dominated by Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and Google's (GOOG) Android.
WP8 boasts a bevy of improved features, including better synchronization with other Microsoft products, an updated home screen that features Windows Phone's trademark "live tiles," and access to 46 of the 50 most popular apps. WP8 will be featured on smartphones manufactured by Nokia, Samsung, and HTC, and will be sold by carriers T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T.
WP8 is already receiving positive reviews, though that's no guarantee of commercial success. Previous versions of the phone were well received, and Microsoft still commands a paltry 3% of the smartphone market.
Can WP8 become an iPhone killer?
It certainly has some great features, says the BBC:
[Microsoft] boasted that the system's internet browser, Internet Explorer 10, was the fastest on any mobile, and also suggested it offered the closest integration with video chat app Skype...
The firm also showed off Kid's Corner — a function designed for parents who give their handsets to their children to play with. It allows them to restrict access to a limited number of apps without giving access to email, phone call, or text message functions...
Another new feature is Rooms which allows users to create an invitation-only environment in which members share their calendars, notes, photos and other material. The firm suggested it might be used to help families, sports teams and other community groups stay "in sync".
However, WP8 still suffers from a lack of popular apps, says Steve Kovach at Business Insider:
As beautiful and accessible as Windows Phone 8 is, its app ecosystem pales in comparison to what you can find on the iPhone and Android. There's no Instagram. No Dropbox. No Pandora. And because of the relatively small number of Windows Phone users out there, developers almost always choose to make the latest and greatest apps for Android and iOS first. Windows Phone is an afterthought for many developers, if they're even thinking about it at all...
The sad part is, it won't be as good as it can be unless people start using it and developers decide to develop for it. But consumers go where the apps are and app developers go where the consumers are. It's a big chicken/egg problem for Microsoft and it still hasn't found a good reason to make you choose Windows Phone 8 over the competition.
And smartphone users may be locked into the phones they have, and reluctant to switch to the unique experience WP8 offers, says Roger Cheng at CNET:
One of the challenges is its unique user interface, which includes live tiles and bold fonts in the place of a grid of app icons. Microsoft is proud of its ability to stand out from Android and iPhone, calling this the new way of using a smartphone.
"We wanted to reinvent the smartphone around you," said Joe Belfiore, general manager of the Windows Phone program for Microsoft, on multiple occasions during the presentation.
But different means getting past the consumers' perceptions and assumptions for how a smartphone works, which hasn't always worked out so well for Microsoft and its partners.
(Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
More from The Week
I keep hearing that Windows Phone lacks important apps but nobody names them? There's over 120,000 WP apps and every dtudy I've seen says the top 100 are available or there is a substitute that available that's better or equal to what anybody needs. WP8, and WP7.5, do offer a new modern user interface that's more integrated and simplistic than legacy icons from desktop environments. It takes about 15 minutes to learn WP8 and then you'll say why was I doing it that old way all this time. Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 are not Vista folks they are Windows 7 with a modern mobile interface and there's a whole Microsoft ecosystem from Office 365, SkyDrive and XBox that all Microsoft devices can use.

Sixteen teams from LA's creative community battled for victory during the PT3 showdown held at The PUMA Social Club LA on October 16. Also known as the PUMA Table Tennis Tournament, PT3 events bring together local creatives to compete head to head at their favorite late night sport.
At the LA PT3 event, teams from UNDFTD, Opening Ceremony, Band of Outsiders, Hit+Run, Dance Right, and more competed for the ultimate bragging rights of the West Coast PT3 champs. The day was filled with enough backspin, trash talk, and slick ping pong moves to go around. Yet only one team could be crowned champion.
The semis proved to be a heart breaker for Team UNDFTD as they lost in a nail biter to the Band of Outsiders team. Team Band of Outsiders went on to defeat Team Rice Cookers in the championship round - taking home the title and grand prize - a custom PUMA chalk table.

American Idol: San Francisco Auditions
The San Franciso auditions brought us some promising contestants, but it also brought out the ANGRY in Steven Tyler. He was so cranky at points last night. Check out Steven getting "testy" when Idol-Wannabe Dave Combs attemps The Beatles' "Oh Darlin"
But like I said, there were a few standouts. One of those contestants was 21-year-old James Durbin from Santa Cruz, CA. We learned a little about his backstory, including that he fact that he was born with Terets. For him, singing becomes a release from the condition. Check out his Adam Lambert-esque audition!
Finally, the judges were REALLY impressed by 20-year-old Julie Zorrilla. She's originally from Columbia, but moved with her family at age 8 due to the dangerous conditions in the country. Her version of "Summertime" was enough for J Lo to predict that Julie may win the whole thing! What do you think??

Basic Instincts
Interior designer turned beauty-brand founder Kat Burki, knows how to dress up a room—both with her keen eye for decor and her signature collection of aromatic candles and soaps. (It all started when Burki created Tuberose-scented soaps and candles to leave as gifts for her clients, which quickly developed a cult following.) Now she's stripping away the frills and fragrance (along with parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, and dyes) and focusing on high-quality, natural ingredients with her new collection, Raw Beauty. "I've always emphasized the usage of raw materials, even as an interior designer," says Burki. Comprised of four products—hand cream, body scrub, body butter, and a lip treatment—the line is laced with an organic herb blend (consisting of gotu kola, chamomile, arnica, and lavender) designed to soothe, soften, and improve the skin's elasticity. Even better: All the products smell clean and elegant, not crunchy like other green goods I've tried. My personal favorite: the Glossy Lip Treatment. Never a fan of plumping lip glosses (the discomfort that goes hand in hand with the bee-stung look just isn't worth it), I'm happy to report that Burki's balm boasts moisturizing vitamin-E, organic beeswax, coconut, and castor-seed oils, along with cinnamon essential oil to subtly pump up your pout (minus the pain). Going back to the basics never felt so luxe.

Osceola of Florida, Drawn on Stone by Geo. Catlin, from his Original Portrait
Osceola was a Seminole war chief who led the resistance to the campaign by U.S. federal troops to forcibly resettle his tribe to territory west of the Mississippi River. Known as the Second Seminole War (1835-42), this was one of the most destructive campaigns by federal authorities against American Indians. Despite outnumbering the Seminoles ten to one, the U.S. troops failed to secure a quick victory. They then turned to desperate measures and deception, including capturing and imprisoning Osceola under the pretence of negotiating a truce. The American ...
Addie Billie
This portrait, taken in January 1989, is of Addie Billie, a member of the Seminole tribe of Florida, in old age. As a younger woman, Billie had campaigned to improve the quality of life of the Mikasuki-Seminoles. Today's Seminoles are the descendants of Native Americans who may have lived for millennia in the southeastern United States. Seminole culture was firmly established in Florida by the 1800s, but it was also threatened by the newly created United States, which desired the removal of Seminole peoples from the territory. The Seminoles ...

Anxiety over the turmoil in Iraq disrupting oil output is easing as Iraqi forces push back against the Sunni extremist insurgency, but long-term fears remain that the instability could cause painful aftershocks -- especially if it scares off multinational oil companies that had begun investing in the war-torn country after years of holding back.
Iraq is the sixth largest exporter of crude oil in the world and pumps out 3 million barrels a day, according to a 2013 International Energy Agency report. In 2003, when the U.S. invasion of Iraq began, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries predicted that production could be ramped up to as many as six million barrels a day by 2010 and seven to eight million by 2020. Continued violence and political turbulence have prevented Iraq from reaching that potential, but foreign investments since 2012 have dramatically increased, renewing hopes that Iraq's oil production would rapidly accelerate.
"In the long term Iraq is set to become one of the main pillars of global oil output, and will also become the largest contributor to global oil export growth," the International Energy Agency said in a report last month.
The siege of large swaths of the northern area of Iraq by the al Qaeda-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and Syria threatens to upend those goals. At least for the moment, the worst fears have subsided, now that Iraq forces appear able to prevent the ISIS advance from moving across the southern region of Iraq, which holds 90 percent of the country's oil reserves.
"If, in fact, we see a sustained situation of chaos and disarray in Iraq, if we see some prospect for a de facto partition of the country, I think that much of that growth is called into question, and that puts pressure on other oil suppliers around the world," said Suzanne Maloney, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's Saban Center for Middle East Policy and an expert on Middle East energy policy.
Fears mounted when ISIS took control of the Baiji oil refinery in northern Iraq. The facility is the country's largest, producing one-third of Iraq's oil output, although most of it is used for domestic consumption. The refinery has been the focus of intense fighting in recent weeks, but the Iraqi government says it has regained control of the facility.
The vast majority of Iraq's export oil structure is clustered around Basra in the deep south, and to a lesser extent in the most northern Kurdish-controlled areas — both areas that ISIS currently does not threaten.
But the government still must worry about small attacks on oil pipelines in the southern areas, which would take only a small number of Sunni fighters to pull off.
With only about 2 million to 2.5 million barrels daily of spare crude oil capacity in the global market, energy analysts are watching the fast-moving developments in Iraq particularly closely.
"If you saw a dramatic reduction in Iraq's exports it could quickly absorb that excess capacity and would put some significant upward pressure on oil prices," said Colin Kahl, senior fellow at the National Security Network and the director of the Middle East Security Program at the Center for New American Security.
In fact, gasoline prices have shot up about 25 cents in the U.S. in the last several weeks because of the unrest, according to AAA auto club, although oil prices have started to ease.
Still, Kahl said, the reopening of a port in Libya and the subsiding crisis between Russia and Ukraine are helping to soothe oil-industry jitters.
"I think that the real concern is that Iraq will not meet its potential to produce even more oil in the years ahead," Kahl said.

Well, the ball done dropped on another new year, and it's high time I git to predictin' the best of motorsports in 2012. Here's my list of stuff I'd love to see this year in the world of racin'…
– Danica Patrick, and lot's of her, preferably in Victory Lane – Seems like a pretty obvious thing to want since I'm constantly includin' half-nekkid pictures of her on here, but I also reckon it would be a good thing for the Good Ol' Boys of NASCAR to finish behind a lady for once.

Y'all can officially stick a fork in the 2011 NASCAR season, but it didn't end without a good ol' fashion peddle mashin' duel to the checkers at Miami/Homestead Speedway.
Take one part championship trophy, one part The Carl, add some Smoke, sprinkle in a little weather, and you've got a recipe for the closest race for the title in NASCAR history.

Alright boys, it's time to reach up and pull them straps tight one more time, cuz it's time for NASCAR's big guns to duke it out fer 10 more rounds in The Chase for the Sprint Cup. And here's yer lineup:
For those of ya not intimate enough with NASCAR to speak the numbers, that would be Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Brian Keselowski, and Denny Hamlin.
AND YER WINNER IS: Kyle "Rowdy" Busch driving the Sunoco fueled Joe Gibbs Racing #18 M&M's Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry sponsored by Z-Line, NOS Energy Drink, Gillette… oh, and Electric Sunglasses.

The next time yer little 'uns are whinin' about wearin' a seat belt, take 'em to a NASCAR race at Watkins Glen fer a learnin' experience they'll never forget. After seein' these pictures and videos from this past weekend, it wouldn't surprise me none to see grown me strappin' into those fancy 'lectric cars with a 7 point harness and a helmet. Keep readin' to see some gnarly wrecks.

The knuckle-headed nation of NASCAR has turned the 2011 racin' season into an episode of Jerry Springer, and it's about time I put down the 'shine and git y'all caught up on the drama. Cousin Carl's been flirtin' with EVERYBODY, the entire state of Kentucky was in gridlock, Mini-Chad is terrorizin' the garage area, Keselowski is now "Krash-a-lot-ski", and apparently potheads enjoy changin' tires. If that ain't enough fun fer ya, this new Wild Card thingy has thrown a wrench into the standin's, and this week the boys gotta turn RIGHT! Keep goin' for the details… near as I can figure, anyway.

It's a freakin' MIRACLE! We're halfway 'round the bend on the 2011 go 'round of NASCAR and Ol' Lefty FINALLY got one right. So far this year I've done a better job of pickin' my nose than pickin' winners, but Denny Hamlin finally came home with the checkers in the Heluva Good! 400 at Michigan International this past Sunday.
Now before we git too far down this road, I gotta point out that I ain't pullin' yer leg when I call it the Heluva Good! 400. I know it sounds like somethin' I'd say when describin' a Tuesday night at the local bowlin' alley, but that really is the name of the race. NASCAR will slap a sponsor on justabout anything, and Heluva Good! just happens ta be some darn tasty sour cream dips. So next time yer thinkin' about eatin' somethin' crunchy, make it a Heluva Good! snack. I guarantee you'll have a Heluva Good! party and yer guests will have a Heluva Good! time. Ya see what I did there? Should be worth a couple thousand bucks of endorsement fees and I can use a new bass fishin' boat. Keep readin' fer the rest of the race breakdown.

Somebody's been puttin' bees in the britches of our friends in NASCAR, cuz lately the fellas have been a bit grumpy! So far this season we've seen "The Closer" Kevin Harvick throw a haymaker through the window of the 18, and we heard Chad Knaus use some not-safe-fer-church language after 5-Time blowed up at the Coke 600… and that's just on the television. Rumor has it, the boys 've been havin' even more fun behind the closed doors of the NASCAR hauler. Heck, they're even gittin' into it on Twitter! Grab a cold one and keep readin' for NASCAR 2011: The Anger Management Edition!

It sure is amazin' the kinda stuff that can happen in justa few weeks. While I been rasslin' with these new fangled computers so I could git back ta bloggin', the racin' world done went and got itself in a tizzy!
Where do I git started? Howzabout the KyBusch and Kevin fisticuffs at Darlington that ended in a ride with no wheelman wreckin' in the pits? Or maybe our Daytona 500 winner with a mystery plague? I guess I could start with Carl winnin' a cool million at the All Star Race and then wreckin on the Victory Lap, but then I'd hafta wait ta tell ya about some Formula 1 feller named Kimi comin' ta take over NASCAR.
But wait… Whatindaheck is THIS? Kyle Busch jus' got nabbed by a smokey goin' 128 in a 45! Looks like this week's gonna be more fun than the last! Read MORE for all the madness of last week and what's comin' around the next turn.

Remember a few years back when the bazillionaire owner of the Dallas Cowboys decided to whip out his… measurin' stick and build a giant ass TV in his new stadium? No foolin', that thang is HUGE! 'Round about 50 yards across er somethin' like that?
Well, not to be out-gadgeted, Charlotte Motor Speedway just got on the bull horn to announce they're installin' the biggest freakin' TV ever assembled. It's that there screen in the photo up top, and it's 200 feet wide and 180 feet tall. Makes the new Kirstie Alley look like the old Kirstie Alley. Makes my double-wide look like the outhouse behind it. Makes Texas look like… well… a smaller version of Texas. You git my point.
It weighs 165,000 pounds (insert another Kirstie Alley joke here), and the loonies that designed this thang had to build a halfa million pound frame justa hold the sucker up. It will make its shiny new debut on May 21st at the NASCAR Sprint All Star Race, and be used at the Coca Cola 600 a week later. It'll be a mighty fine way to watch Jimmie Johnson smack a wall at 180 mph.
That's all well and good, but I got me some better idears. Fer starters, I'm hopin' they break it in witha marathon of Dukes of Hazzard. Yeeeehaw! And imagine how awesome bass fishin' on CMT would look on that thang. Or that one show where they just show a bunch of stuff gettin' blowed up. Just think how much fun Duck Hunt would be. WHOOOEEEE! You could play from the grandstands across the track! Let's see you laugh at me now ya stupid hound!

Gotta love it when the boys head out ta Virginia fer some good ol' fashioned short track racin' under the lights. Fer some odd reason races at Richmond have a real Southern feel to 'em, even though Virginia sits at America's belt loops. Maybe it's cuz everybody 'round these parts gets real excited about showin' ya pictures of their huntin' dogs and says everythin' with a super thick drawl. Just listen to this from Ward Burton if ya don't believe me. No matter though, NASCAR is right at home in Richmond and they proved it once again with some mad fast fisticuffs on the track.

Leading the way for the women's swimming team were junior Liz Carter (West Covina, CA) and freshman Kelly Harrigan (Bristol, CT). Carter won four events in the Invitational, while Harrigan set a new school record in the 200 backstroke. Her time of 1:59.3 qualifies as a NCAA consideration time.
On the men's side, junior Nathan Ilnicki (Crescent, PA) and sophomore Shawn Smith (Oklahoma City, OK) stood out. Smith took the top spot in four different events, while Ilnicki finished first in three events. A majority of swimmers from both the men's and women's squads swam times good enough to qualify them for the BIG EAST Championships.
Also tuning up for the regular season was the RU diving team. Senior Kelly Gerhardstein (Sandusky, OH) won both the one-meter and the three meter, while freshman Christopher Chabot (Litchfield, CT) won the one-meter and finished second on the three-meter.
The Sonny Werblin Invitational serves as the final pre-season meet before dual-meet competition in the regular season. The men's and women's teams will open the 2002-2003 season at BIG EAST rival West Virginia on Saturday, Nov. 2, beginning at 11:30 a.m. The Scarlet Knights will open at home on Saturday, Nov. 9, when they host Connecticut.

If you work as a professional in the food service industry, you know that the presentation of your food is just as important, if not more important, than how it tastes. You learn early on that people eat with their eyes just as much as they do with their mouths, so you don't want to cut corners when it comes to how you present your creations to the general public. One incredibly affordable item you can add to your kitchen that can go a long way in making your presentations beautiful is bamboo skewers and toothpicks. All natural bamboo is completely renewable and environmentally friendly, and it is stunningly beautiful when added to any food presentation. Luckily, there is one catering supplies wholesale website you can turn to when you need the best in all natural bamboo toothpicks and cooking skewers. Pick on Us, Inc.
Not only do bamboo toothpicks add a touch of class and style to any restaurant or catering service, but they can also help you brand your business with custom-made wrapping. When you put your logo on toothpick or chopstick tissue wrappings, you can help to further identify your business with the general public, and since most people grab multiple packets of toothpicks at a time, they will likely have your logo sitting around their car, kitchen, and home for days, weeks, or even months. With 8 or 10 toothpicks in each packet, your restaurant will stand out 8 to 10 times, whenever anyone uses the toothpick. Don't miss this sterling advertising opportunity; contact Pick on Us, Inc today, the catering supplies wholesale leader.
If you are a serious chef, you understand how subtle food decorations can make or break any presentation. A skewer here, a decorative toothpick there, and you can turn a simple platter into a work of art. Not all food decorations are created equal, however. You need a wholesaler that sells 100 percent bamboo products that are both environmentally friendly and beautiful, not to mention durable. The next time your business finds itself low on toothpicks, decorations, skewers and other essential kitchen items, look to Pick On Us, Inc for all of your needs.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been transported on portable thrones from their plane after arriving on a remote Pacific island, as they rose above the topless photo scandal in Europe to finish their royal tour on a high note.
About 25 grass-skirted men carried William and Kate on a platform fitted out with two wooden thrones under a thatched roof adorned with coloured streamers, after their silver jet touched down in tiny Tuvalu on Tuesday.
About 500 people - half of the population of the island cluster halfway between Australia and Hawaii - turned out to greet the future king and his wife, who have spent the past eight days travelling across Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
It was a rousing tribal welcome for the pair, who will spend the night in a two bedroom apartment belonging to an Australian naval officer on leave.
Throughout the day, ferries packed with locals from Tuvalu's three islands and six distant atolls arrived in the freshly painted capital of Funafuti.
It's the biggest event to happen to the disappearing islands - one of the first places in the world to already feel the impact of climate change from rising sea levels - since Queen Elizabeth, William's grandmother, visited the Pacific nation in 1982.
As part of the royal tour marking her 60 years on the throne, Kate and William were given head garlands and carried to the parliament building where they were welcomed by Governor General Sir Iakoba Taeia Italeli and Prime Minister Willy Telavi.
At a tour of the island's school, Kate joined in with a head, feet and toes song, while William had a go at playing a fast aggressive Tuvalu form of volleyball known as "te ano" before chopping open a coconut with a machete.
At the same time, their lawyers have gone on the offensive in Europe over topless photos of the duchess.
A French court has banned Closer magazine from reselling topless pictures of Kate sunbathing.
The court also ordered the magazine to hand over all files of the pictures to representatives of the royal couple within 24 hours.
The grainy pictures, taken in France last month, were run by an Italian magazine and an Irish newspaper.
A royal source says the couple are moving on from the scandal and enjoying the rest of the tour.
On their last night on the tour, William and Kate will watch a traditional canoe race as well as weaving, making fishing nets, the preparation of garlands and cooking.
A relaxed duke and duchess touched down in Tuvalu from the Solomon Islands.
They had spent the night before in a luxury hand-thatched cottage on a secluded tropical island.
They ate a romantic dinner in the pouring rain on their own private jetty overlooking a lagoon.
"I was astounded at how down-to-earth and lovely they were. They just seemed to love it. They were happy and relaxed," said the resort's co-owner Pamela Kimberly.
Tuvalu consists of only 25 square kilometres of land and a 2011 report found the water level was rising about five millimetres per year around the islands.

"I believe my mother knows now but if she doesn't, it'd be good if she did: It's that I take her advice, that I follow her example, that I respect who she is and I'm glad that if I'm like her in any way, I'm very, very happy that I am." — Carrie Fisher
"And my mom… you wanna hear something cool? My mother's a movie star. She is literally an icon… a gay icon, but you take your iconic stature where you can get it."
— Carrie Fisher
"When my mother was about 7, my grandmother locked her in the closet. So, after my mom had been in the closet for about an hour, she asked my grandmother for a glass of water. My grandmother, naturally, said 'Why?' and my mother said 'Because I've spit all over your dresses and now I've run out of spit and I wanna spit all over your shoes.' These are the people I hail from."

WASHINGTON - A new report by the D.C. Government finds there are fewer new cases of HIV and AIDS and fewer deaths. The study finds there were 680 new reported cases in 2012 which is down from 722 in 2011 and 1,100 in 2008. In 2012, just over 200 HIV positive people died compared to 345 in 2008. Fewer of those cases were related to problems with the disease.
There are more than 1,600 D.C. Residents living with the disease, so it remains an epidemic. Worldwide, it affects roughly 2.5 percent of the population.

Note: For WMU football score updates, text BRONCOS to 80373
KALAMAZOO (WQLR) – Breaking the 100-yard mark for the second consecutive week, senior wide receiver Eric Monette has been named the MAC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Western Michigan's 42-31 win over Central Michigan on Saturday.
Monette grabbed a career high 11 passes to go along with a career high 196 yards, and hauled in what proved to be the game winner from 24 yards out to account for his third score in two weeks. Monette's 196 yards receiving ranked third highest in country, and helped the Broncos to their first win in Mt. Pleasant since 2002.
The fourth quarter alone saw Monette record seven catches for 109 yards, and WMU scored a season high 28 points to retain the Cannon Trophy for a second consecutive year.
This is the first POTW honor for the Portage native. The Broncos travel to Buffalo on Saturday.
