Gas prices keep going up. They're around 3.45 a gallon for regular unleaded right now in Tulsa. But if that isn't painful enough, AAA found that fuel isn't the only cost of owning a car that's on the way up. Higher gas prices might be the most obvious cost of owning and operating a car, but they're not the only numbers creeping upward.
AAA study
AAA's annual study of driving costs found that on average, getting where you need to go costs 3.4% more than last year. That's based on 15,000 miles of driving the average standard sedan. 58.5 cents per mile, for a total just under $8800 dollars a year.
Break it downThe biggest increases:
Here's some good news
There is a some encouraging news. The cost of insurance dropped on average for good drivers, as did maintenance. That's especially good news, since regular maintenance can prevent pricey repairs down the road. Maintenance can also keep your car more efficient, maybe even saving you a little gas.

An electric guitar case that's engineered to protect two axes simultaneously and hold your accessories discretely.
In transit, carrying two guitars can get awkward, yet having that second guitar on stage or in the studio is a real necessity for some players. Mono Cases provides elegant solution to make it easier for you to transport your guitarss while ensuring each has the same protection given by their rugged M80 hybrid case. After a year of prototyping, the Z-form design was perfected (patents pending). The end result is an incredibly lightweight, extremely sturdy double-hybrid electric guitar case.
The zigzag design of the Mono M80 multi-guitar case creates a completely separate case for each guitar. That means both headstocks are protected with the neckbrace and strap pin bumpers. It also means the Mono M80 case can be used with 1 or 2 guitars—something you'll appreciate on the road. Additionally, the Z-form design allows for immediate access to either guitar. Grab one from the left side or the other from the right side.
Mono Cases' innovative neckbrace design provides a level of protection worthy of the finest instruments. Your guitar quickly straps in and remains stabilized during transport. The headstock is suspended inside the case, saving the guitar from impacts that could otherwise snap the neck.
Mono Cases builds their cases to military specs, using only high-test materials with extreme resistance to abrasion and the elements. Inside, the plush lining protects delicate custom finishes so your guitar rides first class while you launch an urban assault.
With this Mono dual guitar case, everything is in its place. Specialized storage compartments put your gear right where you need it. Deep gussets make sure your small items stay put, and the hidden upper pocket keeps your wallet, keys, and cell phone concealed.
The Mono M80 fits 2 standard body electric guitars including Fender Tele/Strat, Gibson, Les Paul, Ibanez, ESP.
This product is covered under Mono Cases' 3-year limited liability warranty.
Carry two guitars in one case without the worry of wear or breakage with this stellar electric guitar case today.

Comments about MONO M80 Dual (Double) Guitar Case:
The case is well made and well thought out, except the large metal MONO badge on the front. The very FIRST time I gigged out with the case, the large square emblem caught on my other gear as I was sliding it out of the back seat and ripped a huge hole in the front of the case. Pretty stupid design. By pretty stupid, I mean extremely stupid and it ruined a great product. As a pro musician, I would not recommend this bag just beacuse of this flaw. I guess if you don't actually use the case, if you travel with no other gear, use it in a controlled environment, or pack the case in bubble wrapp every time you use it, then maybe it's worth spending several hundred on. My case works well, except for the huge hole in the front of it. I give it two thumbs down.

Comments about MONO M80 Dual (Double) Guitar Case:
I tried the RoadRunner bags and wanted to like them for the price... Two bags sent back one less than two weeks. poor handle design.. Great customer service from Musicians Friend got me hooked up with a Mono bag.. A bit pricey but the quality is worth the hassle of sending bags back.. Get this bag you won't regret it if you travel alot...
Comments about MONO M80 Dual (Double) Guitar Case:
Best Dual guitar case you can get. Full stop.
I finally pulled the trigger on purchasing this case. The price seemed very high compared to virtually all of the other dual soft shell guitars on the market. But you know what they say, you get what you pay for, and this case is worth every penny. Plenty of storage space for my strings, cables, and my tool kit and you can throw in a set of keys or a cellphone if you want to. It holds my Fender Classic Series 70's Strat and my 72 Tele Deluxe very snug. No sliding around inside of the case when it's zipped.
The case fetures a neckbrace thingie that protects your headstock from being knocked around if you should so happen to let your case fall to the ground or if you just plain drop the thing. I think that is pretty cool.
The back straps are very comfortable but can be tucked away if you want to use just the handle to carry the case around.
The materials used to make this case are the best of the best in my opinion. From inside out, the thing is a tank. The zippers are very durable, to the point that it seems like you almost have to struggle to unzip the thing. There is plenty of durable padding for both guitars and to top it all off, the case is waterproof.
There is not a dual guitar case on the market that compares to the M80. It is rock solid to say the least. Just like I said before, it is worth every penny.

When Laura Srinivasan was three months pregnant, she and her husband, Reuben, decided on a name for their daughter: Grace.
"As it turns out," says Laura, "that name would be appropriate."
Grace was indeed a blessing, considering doctors originally didn't expect her to survive.
After a routine ultrasound performed at 19 weeks at her Michigan doctor's office, Laura was told her baby had a mediastinal chest mass – a solid growth developing between the baby's heart and lung.
The doctor told Reuben and Laura "it is a fatal thing" and their options were to abort the fetus or wait for the baby to die in utero, and then deliver her.
Laura and Reuben knew in their hearts there had to be another option, and sought a second opinion. Fortunately, the second doctor they spoke with suggested they travel to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to meet with Dr. Holly Hedrick and her fetal surgery team.
"We were totally distraught. She hadn't been born yet; we didn't even know her, yet we had all these high hopes for her. Everyone was saying it was fatal. We had to do everything we could, we had to exhaust all possibilities," says Laura.
Just days later, they boarded a plane for Philadelphia.
At Children's Hospital, Laura went through a battery of tests, including 3-dimensional images of the baby's heart. A final meeting with Dr. Hedrick determined that the outcome of any attempt to save Grace would be "unknown."
"The odds weren't good," says Laura, "But we were all willing to try – us and the doctor."
On June 14, at 23 weeks gestation, doctors operated in utero to remove the mass. The surgery was a complete success – the mass was taken out, and Grace was left to continue growing in her mother's womb. However, just days later, Laura went into labor. Grace was born on June 25 weighing in at approximately 1 pound 8 ounces.
"We knew premature delivery was a risk," says Laura. "But we didn't have a choice."
According to Kelli Young, MS, CRNP, Grace was in a Catch-22 situation. The surgery is what triggered the premature delivery; but without the surgery to remove the mass, Grace would have died in utero.
For weeks, Laura and Reuben "waited to exhale" as they watched their baby struggle to survive.
"The doctors in the NICU said she was one of the sickest babies they had ever seen," recalls Laura.
Even though Laura thought her baby's problems were "insurmountable" and had her doubts Grace would live, Reuben saw the positive side of things: there was no bleeding in the brain.
Then, one "golden weekend" Grace turned things around, says Reuben.
"She decided to live," adds Laura.
By the end of August, even though she was still on a ventilator, Grace was stable enough to be discharged to a children's hospital in her home state of Michigan. On October 12, Reuben and Laura brought their baby home for good. Although she was still hooked up to a ventilator and feeding tube, Grace continued to steadily improve.
Today, 2 ½ -year-old Grace is developing normally, and doing everything she can to keep up with her three big brothers. All the concerns about the consequences of having a mediastinal chest mass and having been born premature are in the past, says her parents.
"We're just so grateful to have found Children's when we did," says Laura, adding, "But I don't think it was a coincidence. We were meant to find (the Hospital); Grace was meant to be here."

Parenting styles
A parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing. There are many differing theories and opinions on the best ways to rear children, as well as differing levels of time and effort that parents are willing to invest. Parental investment starts before birth.
Many parents create their own style from a combination of factors, and these may evolve over time as the children develop their own personalities and move through life's stages.[original research?] Parenting style is affected by both the parents' and children's temperaments, and is largely based on the influence of one's own parents and culture. "Most parents learn parenting practices from their own parents — some they accept, some they discard."[1] The degree to which a child's education is part of parenting is a further matter of debate.

Distinction with parenting practices[edit]
According to a literature review by Christopher Spera (2005) called "A Review of the Relationship Among Parenting Practices, Parenting Styles and Adolescent School Achievement", Darling and Steinberg (1993) suggest that it is important to better understand the differences between parenting styles and parenting practices. "Parenting practices are defined as specific behaviors that parents use to socialize their children (Darling and Steinberg, 1993). For example, when parents want children to do well in school, they may model behavior as in sitting down and guiding their children in doing the homework, setting aside some time for homework and reading or making school a priority by going to school functions like parent-teacher conferences. In contrast, Darling and Steinberg (1993) define a parenting style as the emotional climate in which parents raise their children. Parenting styles have been characterized by dimensions of parental responsiveness and demandingness (Baumrind, 1991)"
Theories of child rearing[edit]
Beginning in the 17th century, two philosophers independently wrote works that have been widely influential in child rearing. John Locke's 1693 book Some Thoughts Concerning Education is a well known foundation for educational pedagogy from a Puritan standpoint. Locke highlights the importance of experiences to a child's development, and recommends developing their physical habits first. In 1762, the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau published a volume on education, Emile: or, On Education.[2] He proposed that early education should be derived less from books and more from a child's interactions with the world. Of these, Rousseau is more consistent with slow parenting, and Locke is more for concerted cultivation.
Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development describes how children represent and reason about the world.[3] This is a developmental stage theory that consists of a Sensorimotor stage, Preoperational stage, Concrete operational stage, and Formal operational stage. Piaget was a pioneer in the field of child development and continues to influence parents, educators and other theorists.
Erik Erikson, a developmental psychologist, proposed eight life stages through which each person must develop. In each stage, they must understand and balance two conflicting forces, and so parents might choose a series of parenting styles that helps each child as appropriate at each stage. The first five of his eight stages occur in childhood: The virtue of hope requires balancing trust with mistrust, and typically occurs from birth to one year old. Will balances autonomy with shame and doubt around the ages of two to three. Purpose balances initiative with guilt around the ages of four to six years. Competence balances industry against inferiority around ages seven to 12. Fidelity contrasts identity with role confusion, in ages 13 to 19. The remaining adult virtues are love, care and wisdom.
Rudolf Dreikurs believed that pre-adolescent children's misbehaviour was caused by their unfulfilled wish to be a member of a social group. He argued that they then act out a sequence of four mistaken goals: first they seek attention. If they do not get it, they aim for power, then revenge and finally feel inadequate. This theory is used in education as well as parenting, forming a valuable theory upon which to manage misbehaviour. Other parenting techniques should also be used to encourage learning and happiness.
Frank Furedi is a sociologist with a particular interest in parenting and families. He believes that the actions of parents are less decisive than others claim. He describes the term infant determinism,[4] as the determination of a person's life prospects by what happens to them during infancy, arguing that there is little or no evidence for its truth. While other commercial, governmental and other interests constantly try to guide parents to do more and worry more for their children, he believes that children are capable of developing well in almost any circumstances. Furedi quotes Steve Petersen of Washington University in St. Louis: "development really wants to happen. It takes very impoverished environments to interfere with development ... [just] don't raise your child in a closet, starve them, or hit them on the head with a frying pan."[5] Similarly, the journalist Tim Gill has expressed concern about excessive risk aversion by parents and those responsible for children in his book No Fear.[6] This aversion limits the opportunities for children to develop sufficient adult skills, particularly in dealing with risk, but also in performing adventurous and imaginative activities.
In 1998, independent scholar Judith Rich Harris published The Nurture Assumption, in which she argued that scientific evidence, especially behavioral genetics, showed that all different forms of parenting do not have significant effects on children's development, short of cases of severe abuse or neglect. The purported effects of different forms of parenting are all illusions caused by heredity, the culture at large, and children's own influence on how their parents treat them.
Baumrind's general parenting styles[edit]
Diana Baumrind (1966) became particularly interested in the connection between the parental behavior and the development of instrumental competence, which refers to the ability to manipulate the environment to achieve one's goals. In her research, she found what she considered to be the four basic elements that could help shape successful parenting: responsiveness vs. unresponsiveness and demanding vs. undemanding. From these, she identified three general parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive.[7][8][9][10] Maccoby and Martin expanded the styles to four: authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent and neglectful in 1983.[11][12] These four styles of parenting involve combinations of acceptance and responsiveness on the one hand and demand and control on the other.[1]
|Maccoby and Martin's Four Parenting Styles
Baumrind's Three Parenting Styles
Baumrind believed that parents should be neither punitive nor aloof.[1] Rather, they should develop rules for their children and be affectionate with them. These parenting styles are meant to describe normal variations in parenting, not deviant parenting, such as might be observed in abusive homes.[13] Most parents do not fall neatly in one category, but fall somewhere in the middle, showing characteristics of more than one style.[original research?] In addition, parenting stress can often cause changes in parental behavior such as inconsistency, increased negative communication, decreased monitoring and/or supervision,[citation needed] setting vague rules or limits on behavior, being more reactive and less proactive, and engaging in increasingly harsh disciplinary behaviors.[14][full citation needed]
Authoritative parenting[edit]
The parent is demanding and responsive. When this style is systematically developed, it grows to fit the descriptions propagative parenting and concerted cultivation.
Authoritative parenting is characterized by a child-centered approach that holds high expectations of maturity. Authoritative parents can understand how their children are feeling and teach them how to regulate feelings. They often help their children to find appropriate outlets to solve problems. Authoritative parents encourage children to be independent but still place controls and limits on their actions.[1] Extensive verbal give-and-take is not refused, and parents try to be warm and nurturant toward the child.[1] Authoritative parents are not usually as controlling as authoritarian parents, allowing the child to explore more freely, thus having them make their own decisions based upon their own reasoning. Often, authoritative parents produce children who are more independent and self-reliant.[15] An authoritative parenting style mainly results when there is high parental responsiveness and high parental demands.[16]
Authoritative parents will set clear standards for their children, monitor the limits that they set, and also allow children to develop autonomy. They also expect mature, independent, and age-appropriate behavior of children. Punishments for misbehavior are measured and consistent, not arbitrary or violent.[1] Authoritative parents set limits and demand maturity, but when punishing a child, the parent will explain his or her motive for their punishment. Children are more likely to respond to authoritative parenting punishment because it is reasonable and fair. A child knows why they are being punished because an authoritative parent makes the reasons known. They are attentive to their children's needs and concerns, and will typically forgive and teach instead of punishing if a child falls short.[17]
Authoritarian parenting[edit]
The parent is demanding but not responsive. Elaborate becomes totalitarian parenting.
Authoritarian parenting, also called strict parenting,[18] is characterized by high expectations of conformity and compliance to parental rules and directions, while allowing little open dialogue between parent and child. Authoritarian parenting is a restrictive, punitive parenting style in which parents make their children follow their directions and respect their work and effort.[1] Authoritarian parents expect much of their child, but generally do not explain the reasoning for the rules or boundaries.[19] Authoritarian parents are less responsive to their child's needs, and are more likely to ground their child rather than discuss the problem.[20] Authoritarian parenting deals with low parental responsiveness and high parental demand, the parents tend to demand obedience without explanation and focus on status.[16] Corporal punishment is a common choice of punishment. Yelling is often used as well to scold a child.
Children resulting from this type of parenting may have less social competence because the parent generally tells the child what to do instead of allowing the child to choose by him or herself.[21] Some children of authoritarian parents may develop insecurities and display anti-social behavior.[citation needed] Nonetheless, researchers have found that in some cultures and ethnic groups, aspects of authoritarian style may be associated with more positive child outcomes than Baumrind expects. "Aspects of traditional Asian child-rearing practices are often continued by Asian American families. In some cases, these practices have been described as authoritarian."[1]
This was common in Victorian times, and was used by teachers in schools. One of the earliest critics was Charles Dickens with characters such as Mr Murdstone in David Copperfield, and Mr. Bumble in Oliver Twist and the negative emotional effects on the main character of the story. This style of parenting decreased during the late 20th century and is now unpopular in Western society.
Indulgent parenting[edit]
The parent is responsive but not demanding.
Indulgent parenting, also called permissive, non-directive or lenient,[18] is characterized as having few behavioral expectations for the child. "Indulgent parenting is a style of parenting in which parents are very involved with their children but place few demands or controls on them."[1] Parents are nurturing and accepting, and are responsive to the child's needs and wishes. Indulgent parents do not require children to regulate themselves or behave appropriately. This may result in creating spoiled brats or "spoiled sweet" children depending on the behavior of the children.[original research?]
Permissive parents try to be "friends" with their child, and do not play a parental role. The expectations of the child are very low, and there is little discipline. Permissive parents also allow the child to make its own decisions, giving them advice as a friend would. This type of parenting is very lax, with few punishments or rules. ("The Four")
Children of permissive parents may tend to be more impulsive, and as adolescents, may engage more in misconduct, and in drug use. "Children never learn to control their own behavior and always expect to get their way."[1] But in the better cases they are emotionally secure, independent and are willing to learn and accept defeat. They mature quickly and are able to live life without the help of someone else.[22]
From a recent study,[verification needed]
- The teens least prone to heavy drinking had parents who scored high on both accountability and warmth.
- So-called 'indulgent' parents, those low on accountability and high on warmth, nearly tripled the risk of their teen participating in heavy drinking.
- 'Strict parents' or authoritarian parents – high on accountability and low on warmth – more than doubled their teen's risk of heavy drinking.[23]
Neglectful parenting[edit]
The parent is neither demanding nor responsive.
Neglectful parenting is also called uninvolved, detached, dismissive or hands-off.[18] The parents are low in warmth and control, are generally not involved in their child's life, are disengaged, undemanding, low in responsiveness, and do not set limits. Neglectful parenting can also mean dismissing the children's emotions and opinions. Parents are emotionally unsupportive of their children, but will still provide their basic needs. Provide basic needs meaning: food, housing, and toiletries or money for the prementioned.[24] Neglectful parenting can stem from a variety of reasons, this includes the parents prioritizing themselves, lack of encouragement on the parent's parts, financial stresses, lack of support and addiction to harmful substances.[25]
Children whose parents are neglectful develop the sense that other aspects of the parents' lives are more important than they are. Many children of this parenting style often attempt to provide for themselves or halt depending on the parent to get a feeling of being independent and mature beyond their years.[1] Parents, and thus their children, often display contradictory behavior. Children become emotionally withdrawn from social situations. This disturbed attachment also impacts relationships later on in life. In adolescence, they may show patterns of truancy and delinquency.[1]
A study done by Maccoby and Martin (1983) analyzed adolescents, aged 14– 18 in four areas: psychosocial development, school achievement, internalized distress, and problem behaviour. The study found that those with neglectful parents scored the lowest on these tests, while those with authoritative parents scored the highest.[26]
Other parenting styles[edit]
- Attachment parenting
- The goal is to strengthen the intuitive, psychological and emotional bond between the primary caregiver. The parent seeks to create strong emotional bonds by avoiding physical punishment and modifying the child's behavior through interactions that recognize the child's emotional needs and focuses on holistic understanding of the child.
- Concerted cultivation
- A style of parenting that is marked by the parents' attempts to foster their child's talents through organized leisure activities, such as music lessons.
- Narcissistic parenting
- A narcissistic parent is a parent affected by narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder. Typically narcissistic parents are exclusively and possessively close to their children and may be especially envious of, and threatened by, their child's growing independence.[27] The result may be what has been termed a pattern of narcissistic attachment, with the child considered to exist solely for the parent's benefit.[28]
- Nurturant parenting
- A family model where children are expected to explore their surroundings with protection from their parents.
- Overparenting
- Parents who try to involve themselves in every aspect of their child's life, often attempting to solve all their problems and stifling the child's ability to act independently or solve his own problems. A helicopter parent is a colloquial, early 21st-century term for a parent who pays extremely close attention to his or her children's experiences and problems, and attempts to sweep all obstacles out of their paths, particularly at educational institutions. Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they hover closely overhead, especially during the late adolescence to early adulthood years, when a level of independence and self-sufficiency is normal. Modern communication technology has promoted this style by enabling parents to keep watch over their kids through cell phones, emails, and online grades.[29]
- Positive parenting
- Consistent support, guiding them and supporting them for healthy development.
- Slow parenting
- Encourages parents to plan and organise less for their children, instead allowing them to enjoy their childhood and explore the world at their own pace. Allowing the child to develop their own interests and allowing them to grow into their own person, lots of family time, allowing children to make their own decisions, limit electronics, simplistic toys.
- Strict parenting
- An authoritarian approach, places a strong value on discipline and following inflexible rules as a means to survive and thrive in a harsh world. Focused on strict discipline, demanding, with high expectations from the parents.
- Taking Children Seriously
- The central idea of this movement is that it is possible and desirable to raise and educate children without doing anything to them against their will, or making them do anything against their will.
- Toxic parenting
- Poor parenting, with a toxic relationship between the parent and child. It results in complete disruption of the child's ability to identify one's self and reduced self-esteem, neglecting the needs of the child and abuse is sometimes seen in this parenting style.[30]
Differing parenting styles for male and female children[edit]
Mothers and fathers tend to pick up different behaviors of parenting based on the sex of their child. Studies have shown that fathers can affect their daughters' emotional adjustment more through the style of parenting they demonstrate rather than through using disciplinary approaches, such as punishment. Also, both a father and mother sometimes tend to use an authoritative style towards their daughters, while feeling more comfortable switching over to an authoritarian style for sons.[31]

Auburn University President Jay Gogue has written a letter to Alabama Governor Robert Bentley asking him to find funding for a new aviation facility at Auburn University. The contents of the letter follow:
"Dear Governor Bentley:
Auburn University is a national leader in aviation education. The aviation and aerospace industries, which as you know are increasingly important to our State's economy, aggressively seek our graduates. Likewise, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recognizes Auburn's professional flight management degree as one of the country's premier programs and now awards our graduates with coveted Airline Transport Pilot certificates with fewer requirements compared to those graduating from other programs or commercial flight training schools. The demand for pilots in increasing, as noted just this week when American Airlines announced its need to hire 1,500 pilots over the next five years, its largest group of pilots in more than a decade.
With this letter, we ask for your assistance to identify funding for a new facility. The current facility must be razed to comply with FAA standards for instrument approaches at the Auburn University Regional Airport. As a result, the university must build adequate facilities to meet accreditation requirements.
The facility will accommodate flight training, including flight simulators; workforce training for the aerospace and aviation industries; and related research. This facility also represents the opportunity to expand aviation offerings to include Airframe/Powerplant related training and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) training through cooperate efforts with the state's two-year colleges. Space could also be dedicated to promote dual enrollment options for high school students. Importantly, the activities and training that take place in the new facility will address the needs recently expressed by industry and state government officials related to our flight education program and the State's only four-year degree in aviation management.
Securing these funds is critical to the program's continued accreditation. As such, we solicit your help as chairman of the Bond Commission established by Amendment 666 to the Alabama Constitution of 1901 to secure $5,287,000 through the Bond Commission, or from other sources that may be available.
Auburn's ability to continue its support of the state's expanding aerospace and aviation industries--companies such as GE Aviation, Airbus Americas, Commercial Jet Inc., Northrup Grumman, and a highly recruited composite material aircraft company--is vital to the state's economy. However, continued accreditation is paramount to the quality and success of the program. Equally important is mitigating the financial impact of construction costs on the program for both students and the university. I will contact you in a couple of days to discuss our request with you further. We will appreciate your favorable consideration.
Jay Gogue, President

Cheryl Santa Maria, staff writer
December 7, 2012 — Numerous studies were conducted during the devastating BP oil spill in May, 2010. Now, that research is providing new insight into the nature of oil spills, and how to prevent them from happening in the future.
A collection of 15 studies about the BP oil spill have provided researchers with a "behind-the-scenes" look into one of the largest accidental oil spills in history.
Two and a half years later, it has been demonstrated that almost 200,000 tons of the oil that was spewed into the ocean during the three month spill has been consumed by bacteria, suggesting that at least some of the waste from an oil spill can be cleared away naturally, without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
Other papers outline future oil spill and preparedness and prevention techniques.
Topics like the engineering tactics employed to stop the oil spill, as well as the economic impact of the disaster, have also been covered.
The 15 papers have been included in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, a prestigious scientific journal.
Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator, said during a press briefing that the "scale and complexity" of the BP oil spill was taxing on response organizations.
We learned much during this extraordinary disaster and we hope the lessons learned will be implemented before and used during any future events, she added.

I wonder what Mark Bradley thinks of his 12-4 projection now, after watching the Falcons look pretty pathetic against what is probably the NFL's weakest team last night (I lost count of their dropped passes after seven). Biggest concerns for our Birds: still no running game—still can't pick up 3rd and 1 or 2 yards.

Looking at their first series ………………looks like same ol' Falcons to me.
(12:29) 33-M.Turner right end to ATL 18 for 3 yards (55-K.Misi).
(11:51) 33-M.Turner up the middle to ATL 22 for 4 yards (53-A.Spitler).
(11:14) (Shotgun) 2-M.Ryan pass incomplete short right to 11-J.Jones (59-G.Guyton). PENALTY on MIA-26-T.Johnson, Defensive Holding, 5 yards, enforced at ATL 22 – No Play.
Unfortunately from what I saw last night isn't going to get the Birds from being a formidable opponent to play on a level with the NFL elite. But, it's still preseason, an exhibition. Who knows how they might plan to light it up at KC!! I doubt we've seen everything.

At least one of the scouts here at this game was on my wonderful flight last night from Detroit to St. Louis. Not the glamorous life for 'em
St. Louis never looked better. Felt sorry for the two kings fans on my flight who were gutted by the loss already and then this flight mess
Flight may actually get out eventually tonight here in Detroit. Messed up steering and all. Won't live tweet the landing. #promise
Ellerby, btw, picks up his first point as a King with an assist on the Carter goal. Tons of empty seats here ... Still 2-0
Ellerby: 'I understand Sutter very well actually. I'm an Alberta boy so they're kind of legends around there."
Ellerby played for Brent Sutter, repping Canada in sig junior events.asked him if that meant he understood Sutter
Ellerby: I couldn't have come to a better organization. Winning the cup last yr, planning on repeating. I'm ecstatic right now'
LAK 38 shots after two periods. Previous high (this season) in game was 34 in the 7-4 loss to Ducks on Feb. 2.
RT @ByKevinAllen: You didn't see this coming: Sheldon Souray is plus-10 for Anaheim and Drew Doughty is minus-10 for LA.
Keaton Ellberby looking forward to pairing to w/ Drew Doughty, in game action. Kings next play at Detroit Sunday. He is Shane Doan's cousin

Clarification is in order
Powell Tribune advertising and editorial staff members recently were asked about the paper's policy regarding "check-passing" photos — pictures of a person handing a check, usually a donation, to someone else.
We want to clarify the policy.
With limited space available in each issue of the paper, we strive to use photos that convey the story best. Like most newspapers, we favor photos of events over staged photos.
We are lucky to live in a generous community, and we want to let our readers know when individuals and organizations contribute to worthy causes.
We simply want to encourage people to think of creative ways to tell about contributions. In most cases, a check-passing photo doesn't tell the whole story. A donation to a community food bank can be better illustrated by showing donors filling the cupboards. Or, if an individual contributes funds to purchase a new TV for the senior center, imagine how a photo of seniors enjoying their new TV could show money well spent.
We also welcome typed or e-mailed press releases notifying us of donations and contributions. Please make sure releases contain contact information so we can reach you if we have questions. Press releases of this nature will run in our "Community News" section as soon as space allows.
As a community newspaper, we want to cover the good work of the people and businesses in our town.
We just ask that people try to work with us to tell their stories in the best way possible.

Do you believe that one of Canada's biggest exports could be deported as a result of his recent Miami arrest?
Less than a week after it was first posted to the government's "We the People" platform, over 100,000 Americans have signed a petition asking the Obama administration to revoke Bieber's green card. According to the site's terms of participation, this means that the White House must now respond to the petition "in a timely fashion."
However, Facetious pop culture petitions haven't exactly been a top priority for the White House; in the past, they've taken two months to respond to calls like the construction of a Death Star and the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live! following an offensive segment.
Bieber faces an array of potential consequences, but if he is sentenced to prison, he'd only get up to six months for drag racing and up to six months for the DUI.
Bieber's arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 14. In the meantime, he'll be kept busy with his Los Angeles egging charges and, perhaps, the sale of his Calabasas mansion.

Anyone who knows me is well aware of how I feel about golf courses that wind their way through developments, with houses guarding the edges of the fairways. I realize the course is usually an amenity designed to complement the development, but I simply hate playing a course that runs between houses and streets.
A short time ago, I was invited to play at The Deltona Club, a course that sits a short drive north of Orlando or south of Daytona, conveniently located just a hop and a skip off Interstate-4. The course is part of a development, but you wouldn't know it. Deltona sits right in the middle of the development, using the rolling hills and valleys to create a wonderful golf experience.
The course is not exactly new. It's been around since the 1960s, but was put through an extensive renovation and updating just a few years ago by architect Bobby Weed.
Under the management of Cahoon Golf Management the course has flourished since re-opening and is a well-kept secret by the local golfing community.
The Deltona Club features five sets of tees, playing as short as 4,770 yards or as long as 7,016 yards. The course has a wonderful variety of holes. Thanks to the rolling terrain, you will find yourself playing uphill and downhill, along with the occasional side-hill lie.
Thanks to the beautiful mature oaks, pines and other trees, each hole is well defined and framed.
The course is also well balanced, with the most difficult holes split between the front and back nines. With so many hills and doglegs, the course requires you to think your way around.
The par-4 second hole makes a 90-degree dogleg right from the fairway. From the tee, you have to hug the right side and be careful not to drive through the fairway to give yourself a good approach to a green sitting atop a hill.
The toughest hole on the course is the long par-4 fourth. From the tee you face a shot to a fairway that looks much narrower than it is. The fifth hole is a perfectly straight par-5 that plays shorter than the card says, because your drive will run forever down the hill.
One of the most uphill shots I have ever hit occurred at the par-5 seventh. The hole is quite short, playing less than 500 yards from the tips. I managed to reach the green in two and picked up an easy birdie.
I love a course that gives us regular golfers a chance to drive the green on a par-4. Deltona features two such holes, the first of which is eighth. Playing downhill and downwind, I hit a normal drive just off the left side of the green.
At the turn, I enjoyed a cold beverage and a tasty hot dog to fuel me for the next nine holes, but you may also pick from sandwiches, chips and more.
The back nine is as delightful as the front, with holes weaving left and right, and up and down the rolling hills. There are several waste bunker areas on the course, and I managed to find a few on the second nine.
For me, my favorite hole at Deltona is the par-3 14th. This hole has an elevation change of about 50 feet, from the tee to the green down below. Your tee shot requires a long iron or hybrid to even a fairway wood to reach the putting surface. When selecting your club, one must also figure in the wind and the elevation's effect on the distance.
The finishing holes are a lot of fun, as well. The par-5 16th is a tempting hole that allows you to be as brave or careful as you need. Seventeen is the longest par-4 on the property, but plays downwind, leaving you with a shorter approach than you think.
Eighteen is a great final hole. It is not only the second drivable par-4, but the shortest on the card. Do not let those facts fool you. The hole is fraught with danger, even for those laying up and playing safe. There are trees, waste areas, and the deepest green-side bunker I've ever had the misfortune of being in, protecting it.
If you're looking for a fun round of golf, with all the fun of rolling hills, waste bunkers and no homes crowding the fairways, you must play The Deltona Club.
For tee times and rates, call the club at (386) 789-4911 or visit the website at www.thedeltonaclub.com.

It's a well known fact that contemporary life with computers, TV, and video games is what makes the children of today even more motionless and lazier than ever. Children, in fact, spend more time in front of all kinds of screens and are not doing sports or exercising enough as it used to be before the Age of Information. It conquered the world and imposed the "sitting" way of life on most of the population: old, young, male or female – everyone has been sucked into the electronic world we know today.
It is no surprise that rate of obesity among children is increasing. When both parents are working, home-cooked meals in many families became a rare treat. Despite the struggles of numerous committees for healthy food to be served in schools, those meals leave much to be desired according to the students' continued hunger even after eating.
It's treacherous to leave the obese child untreated because obesity can jeopardize a child's health and cause various health issues such as diabetes, vision damage, cardiac disorders, respiratory damage and so much more.
An overweight child is often mocked and bullied at school, which commonly contributes to the child's fragile emotional insecurities. Leading kids to a healthy lifestyle in order to prevent them from becoming overweight should be initiated by the parents along with the entire family so that the child clearly sees that everyone is willing to adapt to a healthy lifestyle to better everyone's health including the child.
Children whose parents get enthusiastically involved in helping their children combat extra weight are more successful in their accomplishments. As parents, if you decide that your child should be put on medication for obesity, please remember that diet pills should be taken on regular basis and with great care and advisement. Also, children under the age of 18 are strongly recommended against taking Phentermine 37.5 mg. They need to consult with a physician before they buy or start any weight loss medication.
In general, taking diet pills is not the only resolution for weight problems in heavy children because their main function is to suppress the appetite, but a growing child needs to receive the proper nutrition. Instead, diet and exercise are the ideal therapy for obese children, especially if they keep gaining weight uncontrollably.
The meals consumed by a child should be nutritious; the diet must be safe and sound with all the recommended amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Nonetheless, if you are motivated to find out more about the use of Phentermine 375 mg by children with weight problems, you should visit a doctor and follow experts' recommendations. Anyway, it would be best to combine exercise and whatever alternative you may have chosen.
This is especially true because of all those tantalizing video games, computers and television shows that keep the children sitting, eating and continuously immobile and as inactive as possible. This is where being a parent truly counts because childhood obesity is rampant on their health, both now and in the future!
Once you've spoken to your pediatrician about your child's weight control options, you will nonetheless have to think of a few creative ways to get your child to love eating and living healthier so that they can live a longer and much happier life.
Turning Exercising Into Fun Activities Is A Great Place To Start!
Assuming your child's physician has approved a small dosage of Phentermine or it's brand name – Adipex, or some other medicinal alternative, your child's exercise routine will be based around the medication and its effects. Heavy exercising isn't necessary when on a prescription strength diet pill but light exercising is highly recommended.
Perhaps the most important part of getting rid of your child's extra weight is planning and maintaining a well rounded diet that everyone enjoys so that the process will go along much smoother. If they are prescribed an appetite suppressant like Adipex or Phentermine 37.5 mg, they must make sure to supplement with vitamins or somehow ensure they receive the proper nutrition.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan; add curry paste, cook until fragrant. Add ginger and shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent.
Add pumpkin and tomatoes, stir to coat. Add stock, bring to the boil; simmer, uncovered, until the pumpkin is very soft. Blend the soup and return to the same clean pan.
Over a gentle heat, stir in the coconut cream and enough water to achieve the desired consistency. A thinner soup is better for this recipe as it does not overwhelm the crab – you are looking for the consistency of pouring cream. Stir until soup is hot.
Season the soup with fish sauce and lime juice to taste; do not boil. Divide among 6 warmed soup bowls.
Top each serving with some of the crab meat, the chilli, coriander and fried shallots.
Soup suitable to freeze and microwave.
Cook's note: Fried shallots are available from the Asian section of most supermarkets and Asian food stores. This soup is medium in chilli heat; omit the chillies for a milder soup.
