North Dakota's energy jackpot just jumped
The USGS has hiked its oil and natural gas reserve estimates for the region, and some experts say the bonanza could be even bigger.
Scientists estimate that the Bakken formation and the Three Forks formation in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana contain an estimated mean of 7.4 billion barrels of "undiscovered, technically recoverable oil," about 6.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 0.53 billion barrels of natural gas liquids.
Some experts, such as petroleum geologist John Harju, associate director for research with the Energy and Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota, say the USGS estimates, which increased thanks to technology improvements, may be conservative. This is the first USGS survey to include both the Bakken and Three Forks formations.
"Like any of these USGS estimates, think of them as a mile marker that's well behind you in the rearview mirror," Harju told the Grand Forks Herald.
This discovery comes as President Barack Obama has been pushing the U.S. to lessen its dependence on foreign oil, efforts that his critics say don't go far enough, pointing to his opposition to expanding drilling on federal lands. Last year, Obama rejected a proposal to build the Keystone Pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, arguing that a deadline set by congressional Republicans didn't give him enough time to review it. The new USGS estimates may further embolden Keystone's backers.
Some cities in North Dakota, which ranks second to Texas in U.S. oil production, are already feeling the strain of the state's economic boom. As Bloomberg recently noted, Willliston is providing services to 38,000, more than double its official Census population of 16,000. Authorities there are helping people drawn to the area in search of work who are living in temporary camps, hotels and, in some cases, vehicles.
Anyone thinking of making the move to North Dakota should pack plenty of warm clothes. Winter temperatures average about 12 degrees Fahrenheit.

"we" do not own the oil. the oil companies do. and any cash paid to the government for that same oil, gets lost in the government's massive spending waste.
it's great for north dakota to have the oil for their own jobs and state economy. but don't spin this as more "usa energy independence" when we all will continue to be raped by the same oil companies
It feels great to have access to some oil/NG/etc., and not be held hostage by OPEC and others who want to manipulate our foreign policy because we need their oil.... although my question is: Will such access lower prices at the pumps here at home?
I don't think it would.
Does such access lower the possibility of us going to war over oil in the future? I hope so.
My answer to the math question: 370 days.
I lived in ND for 28 years. It is a great place to be from. the work ethics of the locals are the finest anywhere.
I am proud to be from there. Great news for those still in the state.
however, until you live through one of those harsh winters, you do not know the meaning of cold. 40 below with a 50 MPH wind will give you a lesson never to be forgotten....
I recall one winter season the temperature did not get above freezing for over 100 days/nights IN A ROW with lows in the mid MINUS 60 degree area. on those coldest nights (even days) you can toss a glass of water into the air and watch the SNOW FALL. water never hits the ground.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - Fond du Lac police officer Craig Birkholz – who was killed while responding to a sexual assault complaint – was praised at a ceremony in Milwaukee Wednesday.
State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen mentioned Birkholz's bravery during the annual Greater Milwaukee Law Enforcement Memorial ceremony. He and other speakers thanked officers and their families for their service. And they remembered Birkholz and the other 66 officers nationally who were killed in the line of duty so far this year.
Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn and District Attorney John Chisholm said people can support the police by asking their state legislators to regulate the access to guns by criminals.
Flynn said Wisconsin is the only state where it's a misdemeanor to possess an illegal firearm, no matter how many times a person is caught. The chief said a half-dozen Milwaukee officers have been wounded by guns bought for criminals by somebody else at the same gun shop. And yet, he said "straw purchases" of guns remains a misdemeanor.

On conservative radio host Neil Boortz' show this morning, presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich concocted an almost endearingly farcical explanation for his campaign's latest woes, saying the media targeted him because he was best-positioned to beat President Obama. The media desperately wants to reelect President Obama, Gingirich said, and thus he was their "worst nightmare." "I didn't think they would realize this early just how dangerous this campaign is and go after it so hard," he said. (ThinkProgress will update with audio if it becomes available).

- What a treat!gracydanceDined on 8/30/2014My husband and I have been to Cherry 3 other times, but this time was very unique. We brought my sister who flew in from Texas and loves sushi. My sister is highly allergic to peanuts and I wanted to alert the staff before we came in because my sister is a bit shy to tell everyone out loud that she has an allergy. When I made my reservation through OpenTable, I wrote in the notes hoping that the staff at Cherry would read it before we arrived. When we actually did arrive, the hostess found our reservation and quietly mentioned that she received the note of the peanut allergy and would notify the waitstaff. I was very pleased and my sister was able to enjoy her meal with no embarrassment. The meal was amazing and thank you for everything.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not worth it...foodie123VIPDined on 8/22/2014We went there with a Gilt voucher (Omakase Dinner for Two) and were really excited to try it out but I have to say we were extremely disappointed. Appetizers were just ok and the sushi was so bad. The fish was so smelly and tasted really bad. Save your money and go to another place... I am glad we had a voucher but even with the voucher this place was so overpriced considering how bad the food was... If you do go there go for drinks since they have a big selection of Sake. Also the Banana Tarte Tatin was good.

- A great find!JMM13Dined on 8/14/2014From the moment we got to Cherry everything was top shelf. Todd at the bar mixed up great house cocktails--the Noissette was fantastic and my wife loved the Bordello. Then the food was unique without being over the top. Every bite was a burst of varied flavors blending to perfection. The tuna tart was some of the best tuna I've had in recent memory. The capper was the chocolate mousse and banana tart at the end of the meal. Just a great spot for a wonderful evening out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- bad foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/28/2014Food was horrible. I thought I was going to dine on exceptional food but, it was quite the opposite. Totally not worth the money
- Overpriced with lots of attitudeEllenMVIPDined on 6/25/2014The staff is pretty sure they're working in a way cool place, but the problem is, the food runs from fair to terrible & you have to pay a lot for it. I ordered a grilled sardine special that was covered with so many things that it basically tasted like nothing. But worse, i also ordered a smoked trout & horseradish dish that was truly inedible, so of course I didn't eat it. The staff came to clear the plates & didn't ask a word about why it was all still there-- they just cleared it away and brought dessert menus without asking. We passed and went elsewhere. You should too...

Finally, a doorbell that works
This review is from: Chamberlain NDIS Wireless Doorbell & Intercom System
Pros: So happy to finally have a doorbell that works. We've tried a series of wireless doorbell options and none worked consistently because of interference. This one works. I had a little trouble setting it up, initially but was able to add an additional receiver, so I can hear it anywhere in the house, without any problem
Cons: A little bit tricky to set up, but not bad.

The Husson laboratory is based in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children's Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School. We are located in the Enders Research building in the heart of the Longwood Medical Area of Boston.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with over 9 million new cases of active TB annually. Research in the Husson laboratory focuses on two adaptive mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are important for the pathogenesis of TB: transcription regulation and signal transduction. We use a range of genetic, microbiologic, biochemical and cell biology approaches to address questions of interest in these areas.
One major focus of the laboratory is the regulation of transcription by the alternative sigma factors of this slow-growing bacterial pathogen. We have defined the regulons of several of the alternative sigma factors of M. tuberculosis. These include SigE and SigH, which are important in the bacterial responses to oxidative, nitrosative and cell surface stresses, and SigL and SigM, which regulate secreted proteins and surface lipid synthesis. Several of these M. tuberculosis sigma factors are required for virulence in cellular and mouse models of infection. Ongoing work is focused on determining the biochemical functions and physiologic effects of specific genes regulated by these sigma factors, as well as investigation of as yet uncharacterized sigma factors.
Related to this work we have recently optimized a human in vitro granuloma infection model in the laboratory. We are using this system in several ways, including quantitative analysis of bacterial gene expression in the granuloma, examining the roles of sigma factors in bacterial survival in the granuloma, and the host gene expression following M. tuberculosis infection.
The second major research area in the Husson laboratory focuses on signal transduction pathways of M. tuberculosis. In addition to the more intensively studied bacterial two-component signal transduction systems, the M. tuberculosis genome encodes 11 eukaryotic-like serine/ threonine protein kinases. We have defined a role for the two essential kinases PknA and PknB in regulating cell shape and cell wall synthesis and we have determined the molecular requirements for ligand binding to the extracellular domains of PknB. In additional recent work we defined a large proportion of the M. tuberculosis phosphoproteome, identifying over 500 in vivo phosphorylation sites in over 300 M. tuberculosis proteins. Current research in this area seeks to characterize the in vivo targets of individual kinases, to determine the signals that activate these kinases, and to define the effects of Ser/Thr phosphorylation on specific pathways in M. tuberculosis physiology.
In addition to these primary areas of research, we collaborate with Dr. Nancy Woychik of UMDNJ on a project to investigate the function of MazF family toxins in M. tuberculosis. Pilot translational research projects are also underway to identify M. tuberculosis antigens that may be useful for diagnosis and to investigate a novel approach to identify inhibitors of M. tuberculosis.

After mastering a musical instrument, what comes next?
It takes time to learn playing a musical instrument. In the process you will always have something to play from someone.
But the problem is after like 15 or 20 years, how do you keep playing? The books are finished. Should we improvise or compose? I think we are somehow trapped inside our minds. How do we get out of it to find new ideas to play?

Money well spent?
I just read that XM has spent $30 million in its effort to finalize the merger with Sirius. This includes $1.2 million in lobbying costs. These figures were reported by the Washington Post and touted by the NAB.
The NAB has spent considerable resources opposing the merger itself, although I have yet to see how much of its members' money has been spent on the effort. I'm sure it's a hefty sum.
I wonder if the NAB's money could be better spent somewhere else.

This is my second flash and I hope you all like it. I haven't submitted anything in more then a year so I decided to spen my weekend making this flash.
It was originaly was ment to be just something to make you feel better about your day but as I continued with it I got bored so I added some violince. Just like my other flash, no tweens (with the exception of that little background fade) where used to animate Flip.
Also before you guys start telling me that it needed more animation and what not let me just say this. I originaly was going to animate Flip more but I came across a problem. When I made Flip (wich was about 4 monthes ago) I didn't make his eyes or anything into seperate movie clips! so thats the only reason he is always facing foward.
As I say again I started Flip about 4 monthes ago and then stoped because it just sucked to much. But if you guys like this one then I'll redraw flip (to give him more movie clips) and make an even better one.
Rated 4 / 5 stars February 20, 2006

Rated 2.5 / 5 stars January 29, 2006
Blood effects ect
Ideas original, blow up a carebear-type thing, but the spaghetti looked like crap, and so did the blood effects; try adding splotches of blood instead of a bunch of badly drawn red lines next time.
*sigh* I know, and I'm sorry. This was just supposed to be a way for me to relaxe myself after a long week of school. But as I got to the end I merly got tierd and stoped caring. Thats why my next movie is going to take me a long time to make, because I need time to relax after like 5 min of animating lol.

Cell Phones and Brain Cancer: What We Know (and Don't Know)
Concerns about the potential health effects of using cellular telephones were back in the news this summer. But these concerns - and specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may increase a person's risk of developing brain cancer - are not supported by a growing body of research on the subject.
More than a dozen studies have explored the relationship between the use of cell phones and malignant or benign brain tumors. The majority of these have found little or no overall increased risk of brain tumors within the first 10 years of use. Studies now in the pipeline will yield information on longer-term use, as well as the first results involving children.
"We now have studies covering up to 10 years of cell phone usage, and we're still not seeing any convincing evidence of an increased brain cancer risk," said Dr. Peter Inskip of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, who led one of the first studies on the subject. He recently briefed NCI's National Cancer Advisory Board on what is known and not known about cell phones and cancer.
A major unanswered question is how cell phones might contribute to cancer. Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. While exposure to high levels of radio frequency energy can heat body tissues, the amount of radiofrequency energy produced by cell phones is too low to cause significant heating of tissue.
"The biological mechanism by which radiofrequency radiation might cause cancers is unknown and entirely a matter of speculation," said Dr. Inskip.
The controversy over cell phones and cancer started on national television in 1993, when Larry King interviewed a man who said that his wife's fatal brain tumor had been caused by her cell phone. The issue received considerable attention in the media, and cell phone stocks plummeted temporarily. Within a week, Congress had asked NCI and other agencies to investigate.
Dr. Inskip was at the time preparing a study to attempt to identify causes of brain cancer, and he added a component to assess cell phone usage. The results, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2001, showed no evidence of an association between recent cell phone use and brain cancer. The conclusion was supported by two other reports published at about the same time.
Since then, most studies have not found a link between cell phones and cancer. The studies have been launched largely in response to people's concerns that any negative health effects from this new technology would be a major public health issue. In the United States alone, there were more than 255 million cell phone subscribers last year, up from 110 million users in 2000 and 208 million in 2005.
Given this dramatic growth, researchers have looked for increases in the incidence of brain cancer in the U.S. population and found none. There was no upturn in the incidence of brain or other nervous system cancers between 1987 and 2005, according to data from NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program.
Another avenue of research has focused on people who were exposed to increased levels of radiofrequency energy in the workplace. Two such studies - one of employees in a factory manufacturing cell phones and the other of veteran Navy radar technicians exposed during the Korean War - showed no evidence of increased cancer risk.
Because cell phone technology is so new and has changed over time, larger studies are needed to answer questions about longer-term use. Answers may come from a series of multinational studies collectively known as the INTERPHONE study. While the combined analysis is not yet complete, some of the 13 participating countries have pooled their data and reported little or no effect on the risk of brain tumors.
Several European countries are also examining cell phone use in children and adolescents diagnosed with brain cancer. Children may be at greater risk of health effects than adults because their nervous systems are still developing at the time of exposure. In addition, young people may accumulate many years of exposure during their lifetimes.
For the future, it will be important to look for the consistency of results both within and across studies, said Dr. Inskip. "With more data and the ability to look at data in many different ways, some positive results are likely to occur simply by chance," he added.
Of all the potential health risks associated with cell phones that have been examined so far, the most convincing evidence concerns the risk of motor vehicle accidents among people distracted by using their cell phone while driving, Dr. Inskip noted.

A man is recovering at a Twin Cities hospital after he was attacked by a black bear Monday night near Shell Lake in northwestern Wisconsin.
According to the Wisconsin DNR, the bear attack was provoked by the man's dog.
The victim's brother, who was inside the family's cabin, stepped out and shot the bear. The bear was injured, but ran away.
The victim was taken to the hospital in Shell Lake before he was airlifted to the Twin Cities, where he is in stable condition.
This is the second dog-related bear mauling reported this month in the Northland. On June 3, a McGregor, Minn. woman was attacked by a black bear when her golden retriever chased after three yearlings. The mother bear initially went after the dog before turning its attention to the woman.
"It's not altogether uncommon for dogs to set us up by harassing a bear and then leaving the scene and the bears then come after the human, which is way easier to catch," Peggy Callahan, with the Wildlife Science Center, told FOX 9 News.

Keyholes: Inside the literary leaning abode of writer Sue Shapiro
When you're the author of over nine books and an NYU/New School Journalism professor, and your husband is a successful television and film writer, your profession is bound to rub off on your home. Such is the case for Greenwich Village-based writer Sue Shapiro and her husband, Charles Rubin. Their fifth-floor apartment, located off Broadway a mere stone's throw from their respective campuses—Rubin also teaches, at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts—is a dazzling collection of books and hallmarks from their careers.
The arrangement of their abode, which was fashioned from two units purchased in the 1990s, is a perfect compromise for the couple who have distinct preferences when it comes to working. As Shapiro leads a tour through her home, she notes that her open living room—a space that could easily contain most New Yorkers' entire apartments—often serves as a literary salon for her many classes and workshops and as a reception space.
It was here that she recently hosted a book party for her newest work, Unhooked: How to Quit Anything (Skyhorse Publishing, 2012), which she penned with her former therapist, Dr. Frederick Woolverton.
While Shapiro enjoys the company, Rubin prefers the solitude of one of his two writing rooms, one of which the couple has dubbed "the murder room," since it houses Rubin's vast collection of mystery literature.
The bookcases in the living room are decidedly Shapiro's realm and include everything from offbeat sculptures and trinkets to a collection of her work, like the whimsical, cupcake-inspired cover of the Italian version of her book Five Men Who Broke My Heart, which is currently being adapted into a film. The walls, however, are Rubin's terrain and are lined with framed comics from publications he once worked for.
"I'm a neat freak; he has his collections," Shapiro said of their respective living styles.
The couple, however, seem to share an affinity for black, as evidenced in their kitchen and bathroom, where the shower features black marble tiles. And one thing the couple can agree on is that their apartment, at around 2,500 square feet, was a sound purchase as the abode would now fetch in the seven figures if put on the market.
Shapiro and Rubin, though, have no plans to sell any time soon. "This is the fantasy…the dream home and office," she said.

Digital tools 'to save languages'
I'd just seen a local Cree performer Tweet that she wanted help marking the correct accents for a thank-you message in Mohawk (Iroquois) and thought, how many following that thread might glimpse something quite extraordinary as a result. Where else would her fans see this language written by its speakers, I wondered? Did the kids get that she didn't mean a talking hair cut? They would *now*.
"Small languages are using social media, YouTube, text messaging and various technologies to expand their voice and expand their presence," said K David Harrison, an associate professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College and a National Geographic Fellow.
"It's what I like to call the flipside of globalisation. We hear a lot about how globalisation exerts negative pressures on small cultures to assimilate. But a positive effect of globalisation is that you can have a language that is spoken by only five or 50 people in one remote location, and now through digital technology that language can achieve a global voice and a global audience."

Candles are Among the 'Must-Have' Accessories for the Home
Few home accent and decor items have the impact that candles do on the atmosphere in your home, as well as on your mood. There is just something about the golden glow of candles – from a single burning wick to a collection of pillars – that can instantly warm a room and, sometimes, even inspire romance.
When selecting candles, first determine how they will be used. Will they serve as your primary source of light, or is their purpose to provide accent or mood lighting? Will they be the focal point of the room, or be carefully placed around the perimeter to complement your other home accents and decor? Is the candle itself intended to be seen, or will it be inserted into an opaque holder with the intent to provide the "glow." If the latter is the case, cheap candles can be used to save you money.
Don't forget to bring the romantic impact of candles outdoors and into your back yard, where you can use them generously as you entertain on your patio. The sparkle of lots of votives, carefully placed in your garden or hanging from tree branches, will create the same atmosphere as those candles you use inside as accessories for the home.
To create a focal point with your candles, gather a variety of sizes and shapes and place them on a special tray. A mirrored tray or an elegant polished silver platter will reflect the light of the flames, adding drama to the display.
Votive candle holders work best for providing accent lighting. Scatter them on shelves, end tables or even place one or two on a wide picture frame. Use tea lights or small votive candles inside the votive candle holders.
Tapered candles provide an elegant statement and typically are used on a dining room table or to dress a buffet table. Before lighting, trim the candle's wick to about one-quarter of an inch in length to prevent the candle from "smoking." This will also help reduce the amount of wax that drips as the candle burns. Play close attention to tapers when they are lit because they can be easily knocked over.
If your candles' surface area dulls before it has burned completely, bring back the luster by carefully rubbing mineral spirits onto its surface with a soft cloth. And to extend the life of your tapers, wrap them tightly with aluminum foil and store them in your refrigerator until you're ready to use them. This protects against the absorption of moisture.
When the evening is over, removing the remains of candles from candlesticks and votive candle holders doesn't have to be a chore. Before placing your votive inside the votive candle holder, add about one teaspoon of water to the bottom. And when you're ready to take out the last bit of votive, pop the votive candle holder into the freezer for a few minutes. The remaining candle wax can be easily removed with a knife or fork.

Warhawk - PS3 - Preview
E3 2006 Hands On Preview
Of course the PlayStation 3 will have improved graphics, and by now there is no secret that part of the draw will lie in the changes to the classic PlayStation controller. The controller has six degrees of freedom, meaning that in many ways it acts as a gyro controller. Move it left and, if the game allows, you will realize movement on the screen.
Warhawk, developed for the system and being displayed at the Sony booth at E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles) is a prime example of not only the control scheme but also the amazing graphical quality that the PS3 will offer.
The game is a flight combat vehicle, and only a finite map was available, with free flight, a wide array of targets and exquisite environmental elements. The first thing noticed was how intuitive and easy it was to control the wonderfully detailed plane that starred in the level. Move the controller right and the aircraft banks in that direction. Tilt down to go into a dive; tilt up to climb – can it get any easier?
The X button fired ammunition while the O discharged a deadly electrical-style blast. The triangle button turned thrust on and off. If turned off, you would hover, akin to a Harrier jet. Climbing up, entering a cloud and turning off thrust was a temporary respite from enemy attacks. You simply disappeared. But the clouds were not static environmental elements. They moved, and your 'cover' had a tendency to shift away from you. The same held true for hovering while targeting ships. The only problem is that the discharge from your guns would shift your positioning, often sliding the craft away from optimal targeting.
The controls were very good, and the environments were a visual treat. Water reflections, ships tearing apart under an attack, the sun illuminating the top of a rocky spire off the island all combined for a visceral treat.
Warhawk is an excellent example of what the PS3 will be bringing to the table. While the hands-on look was in a very finite level, the taste was wonderfully rich and left a wanting for much more.
The percentage of completion was not available, and few details in general were revealed – such as whether this would be ready for launch and so on. Still flight-combat fans planning on a PS3 purchase would do well to keep a watch on this title.

There is a Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in a conservative state. Candidate A "objects to mandates from the federal government" including corn ethanol mandates that drive up the cost of gasoline for consumers everywhere. Candidate B supports ethanol mandates because "producing it on farms here that have meant higher values for corn and certainly higher land values here in this state."
Which candidate should a conservative primary voter support? Which candidate should a supposedly conservative "forward-looking policy institute" that seeks to "create a smaller, smarter government" give their money to?
If you are Douglas Holtz-Eakin and the group is the American Action Network, the 501c4 arm of Holtz-Eakin's American Action Forum, the answer is easy: you give your money to the ethanol-mandate supporting Candidate B.
The quotes from Candidate A and Candidate B above both come from Wednesday night's debate between Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock and Sen. Dick Lugar. Candidate A is Mourdock, Candidate B is Lugar. Last night, Politico reported: "After massive ad buys against Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar by national conservative groups like the Club for Growth, the establishment cavalry is coming to his rescue, with the American Action Network launching a nearly $600,000 broadcast buy just in Indianapolis, the group confirmed to POLITICO."
This is not the first time the American Action Network has leapt to the defense of establishment incumbents in Washington. They have given money to Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, who voted for TARP, and Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, who passed the incandescent light bulb ban.
There is a fight going on for the soul of the Republican Party. On one side is the Tea Party and small government conservatives who want to change how business is done in Washington. On the other side are K Street lobbyists and the incumbent politicians that they give money to. Holtz-Eakin and the American Action Network have made it clear whose side they are on.

CNN, Rosen apologizes over comments against Ann Romney: Democrat Hilary Rosen offered an apology "to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended" yesterday, but maintained that "Mitt Romney should not be on the campaign trail saying to women, 'my wife tells me how it is for women out there,' because people of wealth sometimes take for granted some of the niceties that they have in life."
BuzzFeed, Stay At Home Motherhood Isn't A Luxury, Census Data Shows: A detailed 2010 study by two Census Bureau sociologists found that while stay-at-home motherhood has become less common over time, the women who stay at home are increasingly those whose low education means they can't earn enough money to making working outside the home worthwhile.

Conditional formatting allows you to selectively highlight certain data on your form or report so that it is easier to understand. For example, you might want to format negative numbers in a red font to make it clear that those records need further attention.
You can set conditional formatting for a text box or a combo box control. You can change the formatting based on the control's own value, or you can use an expression to change the formatting based on the values contained in other fields or controls. On a form, you can use conditional formatting to disable a control, and you can cause the formatting of a control to change when the cursor is positioned in that control.
You can apply conditional formatting to a control on a form or report if its value meets specific criteria. For example, suppose that you own a tabular report that displays order information for a list of products. For each line on the report, you want the extended price to appear with a yellow background if the value is between 100 and 1000. The following illustration shows a report with this type of conditional formatting applied.
Tip Improved options in Access 2010 make it easier to manage conditional formatting rules from a single intuitive view. Watch a video or try Office 2010.
The following procedure shows you how to apply this conditional formatting.
Note Any additional controls that you select will be formatted according to their own values, not according to the value of the first control that you selected.
The Conditional Formatting dialog box appears.
The following illustration shows the results of these settings.
Top of Page
You must use an expression instead of a field value to apply conditional formatting if any of these conditions are true.
When you use an expression to apply conditional formatting, you should make sure that the controls being formatted do not use the same names as any of the fields in the form's or report's underlying record source. If you refer to a field in an expression and there is a control by the same name on the form or report, Access is unable to determine whether you are referring to the control or to the field. Because of this, Access cannot evaluate the expression. As a result, the conditional formatting is not applied, and the control appears with its default formatting. Whenever you add expressions to a form or report, it is very important that you rename any controls whose names conflict with field names that are used in the expressions. The following procedure shows how to rename controls in such a situation.
Note If you rename controls on a form or report that already contains controls whose Control Source properties are expressions, Access changes those expressions so that they refer to the new control names. In many cases this causes the expressions to fail, and the report will display the Enter Parameter Value dialog box when you print it or open it in Layout view or Report view. If you use the following procedure for renaming controls, you need to edit any pre-existing Control Source expressions so that they refer to the fields in the underlying record source instead of the controls on the form or report.
Rename controls on a form or report
[Quantity] * [Unit Price] > 1000
Find a link to more information about expressions in the See Also section.
The following illustration shows the results of applying this conditional formatting to all five of the controls in the Detail section of a tabular report.
Tip To use the Structured Query Language (SQL) operators Between or In in an expression, use the Eval function, as shown in the following two examples.
Eval([Quantity] Between 10 And 20)
- or -
Eval([Country/Region] In ("USA", "Canada", "Spain"))
When you position the cursor in a control on a form, either by clicking the control or by advancing to it by using the TAB key, that control is said to have the focus. You can use conditional formatting to change the appearance of a control when it has the focus. If you apply this type of conditional formatting to all of the text boxes and combo boxes on a form, it makes it easier to see which control has the focus at any given moment. Use the following procedure to apply conditional formatting to the control that has the focus.
Note Field Has Focus is only available under Condition 1.
By default, Access formats each row of a report's Detail section with the same background color. When printing a report, shading every other line of the detail section can make it much easier to read. Rather than using the Conditional Formatting feature to do this, you can use the Alternate Back Color property for the Detail section to specify a color to be displayed or printed on every other line when viewing or printing a report. The following procedure shows how to do this.

Historic Race Car
One of only 34 Production R-Models, this ex-Tommy Hamilton Race Car has been described as The Winningest GT 350 R by several Shelby experts. Just 36 total R Models were ever produced, 34 for customers and 2 factory prototypes.
In 1965 the Shelby American crew turned its attention to building the few, special competition cars that would campaign in the SCCA based on the production 1965 GT350. Shelby concentrated on those things which any conscientious racer building a production-based GT or sports car would do, improving handling, power and reliability and, by design, the GT350 Rs handling was not an issue.
Engines were blueprinted in Shelbys engine shop while the heads were extensively modified by Valley Head Service. A race prepped version of the standard 715cfm Holley four-barrel carburetor on the Cobra high rise aluminum intake manifold was installed, with Tri-Y headers built by Cyclone dumping into straight, side exiting pipes handling the exhaust. Output ranged from 325 to 360 horsepower on the Shelby dyno. Front and rear fenders were flared for wider tires to accept American Racing 15 X 7 five-spoke wheels. The engines increased output dictated an oil cooler for reliability. It was mounted behind the special high capacity radiators and required more air flow which resulted in the R-models most distinctive feature a new front body apron constructed from fiberglass with a deep air intake flanked by brake cooling air scoops.
Plexiglass side windows with aluminum frames saved 25 pounds over the stock side glass. A special Plexiglass rear window was formed which fitted the rear light opening with a two inch gap at the top to exhaust air from the interior and smooth air flow over the rear body said to increase the R-models top speed by five miles an hour. A four-point roll bar was installed with a massive 34 gallon baffled fuel tank fabricated from the bottoms of two standard Mustang tanks.
When complete, the Shelby Mustang GT350 R was a turn-key race car that was ready to go straight from the Ford dealer where it was bought directly to an SCCA race weekend and compete at the highest level.
That brings us to the story of one of the most famous R Models of all, R533:
British Columbias Tommy Hamilton is one of the great, unsung heroes of 1960s sports car racing. Hamilton began racing relatively late in life, by 1967 he was a 40-year-old family man with a steady industrial job, but for a five-year period in the late 1960s, he was considered the best sports car driver in the Pacific Northwest. Carroll Shelby took notice of the up-and-coming driver, offering him a Factory drive with his B-Production Racing Team and Hamiltons big break came in 1967 when Vancouver Ford dealer Brown Brothers Motors sponsored him in their brand new GT350 R, one of the most dominant cars of the era.
For the next two seasons Tommy Hamilton and the Brown Brothers #180 350 R were virtually unbeatable, capturing over 40 podiums and many wins in the process. Determined to provide maximum returns for his loyal sponsor, Hamilton was not content simply winning the Sedan or B-Production contests, so Hamilton changed the carburetion, intakes, wheels and tires, and soon qualified the Mustang in more prestigious races like A-modified, over 2-liter Sports Racing and Improved Production. In his first year of racing Hamiltons Mustang captured both the International Conference B-Production and C-Modified Championship titles.
The 1968 season proved to be the high point of his road racing career as he went on to win five different West Coast championships with 5R533. While racing in two different series simultaneously, he handily defeated the competition in A-Modified, B-improved Production (International Conference) as well as the Canadian Automobile Sports Club A & B Production Championships, and finished first in the Royal City Sports Car Club 1968 Championship. This string of championships is truly a record performance for any Shelby built car racing in the period.
The Brown Brothers eventually sold 5R533 to Canadian Jeff Smith in 1972, who passed it on to Vancouver enthusiast Mike Stidwell in 1975. Stidwell began a restoration intending to put the car back to the original 1967 specifications, which was completed by the next owner, William D. Roush circa 1984. Roush competed in few vintage races throughout the Northwest before the car went to George Walters II of Sherman Oaks, California who replaced the Weber carburetors with the correct Single four-barrel set up as delivered by Shelby American. The car passed through two enthusiasts, Marty Yacoobian, Gene Schiavone and Ken Eber, National Director of the Shelby America Automobile Club in the late 1980s until it ended up with Dan Fitzgerald of New Hampshire. The car was shown at the SAAC-16 concours in Charlotte, North Carolina where it garnered a 1st place. Fitzgerald sold the GT 350 to Peter Rogal of Boston who commissioned the Shelby experts at Cobra Automotive to undertake a full-spec race preparation after which Rogal vintage raced the car for a couple of seasons.
In 2004 he sold it to Australian national Gary Fitzgerald, who demonstrated the car with Hamilton at SAAC 30 in 2005. It was here that Tommy Hamilton was reunited with Carroll Shelby and his Brown Brothers GT 350 R at the SAAC National Convention. Now in his late seventies, Hamilton completed a few demo laps donning a crash hat and deftly piloting his old car around the circuit, hitting 165 mph on the straight as if it was 1967. When Hamilton appeared with Carroll Shelby at a function that weekend, Shelby American Automobile Club Historian and 1965/1966 GT-350 Registrar Howard Pardee paid him a fitting tribute when he announced Tommy Hamilton from Campbell River, British Columbia and his Brown Bros. Shelby Mustang -the winningest GT 350 R-model of all time with five championships in 1968, among other awards.
Shortly after SAAC-30, I purchased R 533 from Fitzgerald and shipped it to Cobra Automotive of Connecticut to return it to its original 1965 Shelby specifications. It is now beautifully restored to its as-raced original livery and is fitted with a proper 1965 289 K Code engine, R-model gas tank, R-model oil cooler, R-model radiator, seats, period Lincoln-spec big brakes, correct Shelby tri-Y headers with correct R-model exhaust as well as wheels and tires of the type Tommy Hamilton raced on. During the restoration a considerable effort was taken to make a reliable and safe Shelby racecar that conforms to todays strict era correct guidelines. Another advantage of #553's current "as-delivered" era correct specification is the ability to easily adapt it to road use if desired. With the addition of two glass-pack mufflers, a stock Ford engine driven cooling fan, and a valid registration #533 makes an exciting and infinitely capable road car. Even without these additions, keeping in mind my local police force is somewhat more lenient than in other communities as it applies to noise regulations, taking 533 out to get Sunday morning coffee is always the highlight of my week! I recently took 533 to the famous Milwaukee Mile race track for a few laps in front of the camera to get a video clip where people could see this old warrior in action. Please use the link at the bottom of this listing to check it out...it is worth it!
R-Model specialist Curt Vogt of Cobra Automotive described this car as an exceptionally nice and quite correct car. Unlike many R-Models, 5R533 retains its original uni-body panels and has never been badly damaged. It is rare to find an R-Model with its original Ford VIN stamped inner fender aprons and original Shelby VIN tag as 5R533 has. Many street cars dont even have this.
Another nationally known Shelby expert has offered a similar appraisal saying, In my opinion, of the 34 Production R-models built there are only about half a dozen left as original as 533. Despite its incredible competition history this car has always remained a largely original car, having escaped the all-too-common major disfigurement of many old racecars.
The significance of the R Models was recognized by collectors very early. In the early 1970s, when most 1960's race cars were simply discarded as they were no longer competitive, people realized how special R Model GT350's were and started collecting them. These cars have unquestioned historical significance, double-digit production numbers, and worldwide appeal. Just like famous pre-war Grand Prix cars, Shelby GT350 R Models have the right credentials to be among the most sought after collectible performance cars for decades to come.
Considering its racing history, originality, correct specifications, quality of the period correct preparation and real potential for future appreciation, nobody can deny that a historically significant R Model such as 5R533 - of which less than 10 exist - are undervalued in today's market. More than just a museum piece, or one of the many vintage race cars that either aren't competitive today or are inherently unsafe, a special R Model is welcomed with open arms at any vintage race venue anywhere in the world. Better still, they are tough as nails and win!
Whatever your collecting goals, there is no question the opportunity to acquire Shelby history like 5R533 is rare indeed. Serious buyers are welcome to contact me for full details or a visit to view this incredible car.
