On August 20, 2000 Pennsylvania's Maple Grove Raceway hosted some awesome import drag racing that showcased top guns from both coasts and all points in between. Despite threatening weather, attendance for this Maple Grove event almost tripled the last IDRC Maple Grove event. From the first set of cars to the last, the big dogs ran some big numbers.
Nitto Tires/Turbo Magazine Quick XVIThe only rear-wheel-drive car in the Quick XVI field happened to be the heaviest as well-the 4G63-powered Starion piloted by Eric Plebani. The Starion has undergone a step-by-step development process starting in the 11s and working its way to the 9s. At this event, Plebani would better his personal best by running a 9.54 in qualifying and taking the number two spot in the Quick XVI. Since its last record run at the Diamond Star shootout, absolutely nothing has changed; the car seems to run faster and faster with each race. Plebani also told us we should expect to see a jump in boost soon, which he hopes will land him in the 8s.
Brent Rau's '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse has been battling driveline problems since its makeover last year. The car generates Quick Class record runs, but usually ends up eliminated due to some sort of breakage. Such was the case at Maple Grove. Rau was able to run much faster and advanced all the way to the semi-finals before breaking yet another axle when up against Kenny Tran. While Rau missed out on a trophy, he left with something more valuable-big-time bragging rights as the world's quickest Diamond Star and Quick Class racecar with an e.t. of 9.40 seconds at 149 mph.
After an incredible year of racing with the same engine, Texan Kenny Tran has finally retired his record-breaking engine. Tran was the first and fastest front-drive competitor at the '99 IDRC International Finals. During its tour of duty, the 1.8-liter VTEC engine ran consistent 9-second e.t.s and has earned a well-deserved freshening. Tran's shop, Jotec Motorsports, didn't miss a beat; the new engine landed the green Civic a new personal best-a scorching 9.64 at 139 mph. Considering this was the engine's first pass, we hope to see quicker e.t.s later in the season. However, Tran was able to progress to the finals and a match against Lisa Kubo.
Lisa Kubo has once again taken over the points lead from Leevon Eisele. While chatting with crew chief Gary Kubo in the pits, we noticed an upgrade on Lisa's ride. A set of M&H 26x8x15-inch slicks replaced her normal set of 25x9.75x13s. Gary informed us that this event was the first time the team has ever tried the new gumballs. While most racers who have upgraded to this size slick have had axle breakage problems, the Kubos decided to also upgrade the factory hubs to accept larger Prelude units to avoid these gremlins. The ExtrudeHone-sponsored Civic locked down its fastest time ever-a 9.59 at 153 mph, as well as taking home a first place victory in the Quick Class. Lisa ran single digits throughout the entire program, proving that Hondas can be quick and live to see another day.
APEXi Outlaw VIIIThe APEXi-sponsored Outlaw VIII class is on the verge of breaking into the 7-second zone and has definitely become the class on the rise in recent months. The points standings have three competitors battling it out-Stephan Papadakis, Craig Paisley and Carlos Montano.

"Innocence of Muslims," a controversial film which has sparked violent protests across the Middle East over the past 10 days due to its anti-Islamic content, will be discussed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) members next week at a meeting in New York, the OIC's secretary-general announced on Tuesday.
OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin ?hsanoglu told a press conference at the headquarters of the OIC General Secretariat in Jeddah that the efforts he had made over the previous few days had resulted in the issue of the indecent film targeting the character of the Prophet Muhammad being put on top of the agenda of the annual coordination meeting of OIC members, slated for next week.
At a press conference at the headquarters of the OIC General Secretariat in Jeddah, ?hsano?lu said that the planned meeting will discuss all possible initiatives to reach an action plan to address what he called the escalating wave of incitement against Muslims after the dissemination of a trailer for the controversial film.
?hsano?lu stated that he had initiated intensive diplomatic efforts and made high-level contacts to begin to formulate an unified international response to the film. He noted that he had sent a letter to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and had made contacts with Dr. Nabil Elaraby, Secretary General of the League of Arab States and Catherine Ashton, the High Representative for Foreign Policy of the European Union, in order to explore ways to prevent the repetition of such acts aiming to incite violence.
"Some OIC member states contacted us proposing separate initiatives, but I urged all 57 member states to speak with a strong and unified voice on this very important matter," he said.
The secretary-general began the press conference by renewing the OIC's condemnation of this film in the strongest possible terms and also reiterated its strong condemnation of the tragic killing of US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens along with three other US officials during an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
He added that resorting to violence leads to loss of life and cannot be tolerated on any grounds.
He underlined that the international community needs to come up with a unified response with regard to implementing international law, which warns clearly against any advocacy of religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, aggression or violence.
?hsanoglu pointed to Article 20 of the UN's International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the first paragraph of which prohibits by law any propaganda for war, while the second paragraph prohibits advocacy for nationalist, racial or religious hatred.

Villagers listen to a speech by village leader Lin Zulian at a rally after he met with a senior government official and reached an agreement over illegal land grabs and the death in custody of a local leader in Wukan, Guangdong Province on December 21, 2011. Chinese authorities have agreed to release three villagers detained for leading September protests against land grabs, a community spokesman said December 21 after meeting a senior official. AFP PHOTO / Mark RALSTON (Photo credit should read MARK RALSTON/AFP/Getty Images)
This weekend, I came across a New York Times story about all the problems and corruption in the governance of local villages in China. This is portrayed as a surprise because local village commitees -- the equivalent of our city councils -- are democratically elected in China, by the people themselves.
Then I got to this paragraph, which hit me, as a Californian, like a truck:
"Village committees must provide many of the services offered by governments, such as sanitation and social welfare, but they cannot tax their residents or collect many fees. Any efforts to raise additional money, for things like economic development, usually need approval from the Communist Party-controlled township or county seats above them."
If that sounds familiar, it should. That's pretty much how local government works in post-Prop 13 California.
Prop 13 centralized power for raising revenues with enough force to please the most authoritarian Chinese Community Party functionary. After Prop 13 (and measures that built on it), local elected officials no longer could set tax rates themselves. Higher levels of governments (in California's case, the state government) had the authority to raise the taxes.
In China and California, this has created all kinds of problems in local governance. Local elected officials who don't have to set tax rates have little incentive to be disciplined. The result: corruption in places like the Southern California city of Bell or the town of Wukan -- the Bell of China -- where citizens have launched a revolt of sorts against the authorities.
This is counter-intuitive, because Californians and Chinese both like to think that local government is more responsive and democratic. The Times story noted:
"China's village committees should be the most responsive bodies in the nation because they are elected by the villagers themselves. Moreover, the government has built safeguards into the village administration process to ensure that money is properly spent."
But it turns out that centralization undermines accountability. And no amount of process can alter the negative effects of taking away revenue-raising authority from local officials.
I can already hear the howls of protests from defenders of Prop 13. California under 13 isn't like China--that's a totally unfair comparison. And they're right. It's probably unfair to China.
If anything, California may be more centralized in local government matters than China. The Chinese give some control over revenues to the community party in bigger towns and in the counties; California centralizes revenue-raising power far away, at the state or provincial level.
The lesson? The next time someone speaks in praise of Prop 13, ask them: are you some kind of Chinese communist?

How to fix leaky faucets
By Emily Resch
Birch Bay Water and Sewer District
Birch Bay Water and Sewer District and the City of Blaine are encouraging water customers to learn how to locate and read their service water meters to identify household leaks.
Indoor and outdoor water leaks can waste large amounts of water over time. One drop per second wastes 2,700 gallons of water per year.
The water meter is an important tool used in water conservation and water system management. Both the City of Blaine and Birch Bay Water and Sewer District have fully metered water systems.
Having a fully metered water system is the best way for municipal water suppliers to accurately determine its customers' water usage and reduce water loss from the system.
Under the new state Water Use Efficiency Rule (WUE), all municipal water suppliers must have a distribution system leakage of 10 percent or less on a rolling three-year average.
Water meters provide the data necessary for us to comply with state regulations and increase the efficiency of our water system.
Currently, the City and District meet the 10 percent or less distribution system leakage standard – around 6 percent for the city and 9 percent for the district.
Increased efficiency can expand water system capacities especially when combined with active leak detection and repair.
Reading your meter to detect leaks at home is very simple and can be done in a couple of steps:
1. Locate the water meter. Your water meter is located at either street side property corners under a square water meter box made either of plastic or concrete.
The water meter is the indicator of water use. When no water is being used, nothing on the water meter should move. Most of the water meters installed in Blaine and Birch Bay have a low-flow indicator. A low-flow indicator on the water meter is either a small black triangle or a small red round disc. The low-flow indicator will spin at very low volumes, which is common with household leaks.
2. Turn off all water. All water using items inside and outside the home should be turned off.
3. Check the meter. Watch the meter for a minute or more. There should not be any movement of the meter since no water is being used. If the low-flow indicator is spinning or the meter reading is increasing, you have a leak.
4. Locate the leak. Use the shut-off valve for your home to isolate and locate the leak.
The shut-off valve can be indoors or outdoors, but is typically located where the water line enters the home. If the main shut-off is closed and the meter has stopped, then the leak is not between the meter and the building. If the meter is still running with the main water shut-off, then the leak is between the meter and the building.
Some other tips for detecting leaks around your home include checking the crawl space under your home for wet areas and putting food coloring in the toilet tank.
If you find any discoloration in the bowl, the flapper should be replaced. A toilet is one of the main sources of residential water leaks.

EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) -- President Barack Obama will spend the latter part of next week riding a bus through New York and Pennsylvania to talk about the economy and building the middle class, according to the White House, which did not release further details.
Obama last month began a series of speeches around the country on his ideas for how to build the middle class and boost the economy.
The trips have taken him to Illinois, Missouri, Florida, Tennessee and Arizona to discuss how spending money on roads and bridges, investing in manufacturing and helping homeowners can lead to economic growth.
The tour is also meant to help Obama lay the groundwork for the fall debate with Congress over the budget.

Hello everybody.
Lucia is my middle name, and I'd love if you'd call me by that.
Cute nicknames, such as Luce, Lu(lu), Cia or anything you can come up with is fine too!
Well, about me? First, I am a total booknerd. I love to read because it takes me to a whole new, exciting world. I mostly read fantasy, young-adult and paranormal/paranormal romance books. And of course I love mythical creatures like faeries, vampires, angels... you get it.
Besides that nerdyness, I love drawing, writing, painting, singing (to myself) dreaming/daydreaming and just hanging out with my friends.
Thank you for appreciating my hand painted Twilight shoes.
dr. nanette
Lol me too! Which is wierd cuz i live in florida and i'm supposed to be tan. All my friends tell me that i NEED a tan! :P

THE OCCUPY movement's most powerful unifying factor has been its clear and simple identification of the key problem in American society: the divide between the vast majority of the population—the 99 percent—and the richest and most powerful 1 percent.
This 99 percent/1 percent formulation isn't just a statement about income inequality in the U.S. today. It's also an acknowledgement that the 1 percent largely controls the government and is therefore able to rig laws, taxes and regulations in its favor.
If you look at opinion polls on questions like taxing the rich, regulating Wall Street, spending money on jobs, prioritizing economic growth over cutting the deficit or preserving and protecting Social Security and Medicare, you'll find popular, often lopsided, majorities opposed to austerity and in favor of "redistributionist" policies.
Yet the dysfunctional government seems incapable—and not even much interested—in doing much of anything to meet these popular demands. By contrast, Congress acted with tremendous speed—and with little regard for the deficit—to appropriate hundreds of billions of dollars for the banks and other corporations when the financial crisis struck in 2008.
In theory, we're all equal at the ballot box, and so popular majorities should be able to force politicians to address their concerns. But the Occupy movement has caught fire because millions of Americans realize that the way Washington works in reality bears no resemblance to the political science textbook explanations.
So how does the 1 percent get away with it?
A Moral Focus for Occupy Wall Street
I think it is a good thing that the occupation movement is not making specific policy demands. If it did, the movement would become about those demands. If the demands were not met, the movement would be seen as having failed. […]
Publicize the Public
Tell the truth about The Public, that nobody makes it purely on their own without The Public, that is, without public infrastructure, the justice system, health, education, scientific research, protections of all sorts, public lands, transportation, resources, art and culture, trade policies, safety nets, That is a truth to be told day after day. It is an idea that must take hold in public discourse. It must go beyond what I and others have written about it and beyond what Elizabeth Warren has said in her famous video. The Public is not opposed to The Private. The Public is what makes The Private possible. And it is what makes freedom possible. Wall Street exists only through public support. It has a moral obligation to direct itself to public needs.
All OWS approaches to policy follow from such a moral focus. Here are a handful examples. […]
A Warning
This movement could be destroyed by negativity, by calls for revenge, by chaos, or by having nothing positive to say. Be positive about all things and state the moral basis of all suggestions. Positive and moral in calling for debt relief. Positive and moral in upholding laws, as they apply to finances. Positive and moral in calling for fairness in acquiring needed revenue. Positive and moral in calling for clean elections. To be effective, your movement must be seen by all of the 99% as positive and moral. To get positive press, you must stress the positive and the moral.
Remember: The Tea Party sees itself as stressing only individual responsibility. The Occupation Movement is stressing both individual and social responsibility.

Some Hope For This Company?
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's no secret that I have my doubts about Research In Motion's (NASDAQ: BBRY) ability to grow and thrive. I've written in the past that they need to focus on what they do best, and that is make software.
The company's hardware designs haven't changed much, and what customers like the most is the security of the BlackBerry system. I've even argued that RIM should consider getting out of hardware production and license their software to multiple device manufacturers. For the most part, RIM is staying the course, and there might be a few rays of hope for this much maligned company.
It has been a while since RIM investors have been able to say with confidence that the company's turnaround plans are on track. In fact, if you look at RIM's last earnings report, you get a sense of the challenges the company has faced over the last year or so.
When a company reports revenue down 47%, net income drops from $0.51 per share to $0.03, and cash flow declines by over 66%, you know there are serious issues. These are real numbers from RIM's last earnings release. Even with all this negative news, there are a few bright spots that investors can cling to.
First, RIM did manage to generate enough cash to increase their cash balance significantly. In the last nine months, the company's cash and investment balance jumped by almost 40% from $2.1 billion to $2.938 billion. For a company that is trying to tread water until the official launch of the BlackBerry 10 system, cash is indeed king.
This increase in cash balance is the exact opposite of what happened at similarly beleaguered cell phone company Nokia (NYSE: NOK). In Nokia's case, the company's net cash position dropped 30% in the last year, and as a result, they recently announced the elimination of their dividend.
Another bright spot for RIM was their gross margin relative to other cell phone manufacturers. Even with their recent earnings miss, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the king of the hill when it comes to gross margin. The company just reported a 38.63% gross margin, and even this was considered as a concern. On the other hand, RIM showed a gross margin of 30%, and Nokia was only able to manage a margin of 27.5% in the same timeframe.
The key difference between RIM and Nokia is the fact that Nokia still produces a lot of feature phones, which carry much lower margins. While RIM may not be able to match Apple's gross margins, the fact that they are at 30% before the release of the BlackBerry 10 lineup is somewhat encouraging.
In theory, RIM's new BlackBerry 10 lineup should command better margins because of their newer feature set. In addition, pricing should hold up due to pent-up demand from users who have been patiently waiting for these devices. The bad news is that this is sort of a double-edged sword. In the next quarter, results are likely to be pressured as customers delay a purchase while waiting for BlackBerry 10. In addition, every day that BlackBerry 10 isn't available is another day that Apple and Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android systems pick up more users.
In the last few months, we have seen Apple sell over 47 million iPhones, Nokia reportedly shipped over 4 million Windows phones, and Android activates reportedly over 1 million devices a day. To put this a different way, Apple sells more iPhones in just under two quarters than BlackBerry has in total subscribers. Google activates more Android devices in one week than BlackBerry sold in the last three months. While RIM may not have to be number one, two, or three, in the market to be a good investment, it's clear they are operating at a disadvantage.
The biggest challenge for investors is to justify buying RIM over their competition. This choice should be slightly easier now that Nokia axed their dividend. Both Nokia and RIM are expected to see negative earnings in the short-term. However, analysts expect 10% EPS growth from RIM, yet just 5% EPS growth from Nokia in the next few years. Just like in the marketplace, the real challenge comes from Apple and Google.
After Apple's current quarter haircut, it now yields about 2.3%, and analysts are still calling for over 20% EPS growth. For a stock that sells for just 9.6 times earnings, this seems like a big discount based on their expected growth. Google just posed a good quarter, and sells for about 16 times earnings. For a company expected to grow at 14.48%, this seems like a reasonable price.
The bottom line is, if you are looking for a turnaround in RIM, investors should try to turn a blind eye to next quarter's results. It won't be until the following quarter that investors will be able to gauge the effectiveness of BlackBerry 10 in the marketplace. RIM's ability to increase their cash on hand strengthens the investment case, but no doubt the company needs BlackBerry 10 to perform well. The company has a long road ahead, but it looks just a bit brighter than before.

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - The St. Louis County Public Health and Human Services Department is hoping to get an accurate count of unsheltered homeless people. The county will work with community service providers and agencies to conduct the federally required "Point-in-Time" Homeless Count. Money and resources are awarded to communities to fight homelessness based on the documented counts of homeless people and families. "Unsheltered homeless" for this count is defined as a person who has a place of nighttime residence not meant for human habitation. That would include those living in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, bus stations and wooded areas. The count will take place for the night of January 23rd.

Kacey Brooke Warren, PhD Candidate at University of Colorado-Boulder, will present "Political Surrogacy and Relational Entitlements: A Critique of Martha Nussbaum's Capabilities Approach" on Wed., March 5, 2014 at 3:10 p.m. in the Classroom Building, Room 103.
Abstract: Martha Nussbaum offers a robust vision of justice in terms of capability that she contends is capable of handing the most difficult cases. In recent work, she suggests that her capabilities approach supports a range of accommodations to make voting accessible and feasible for citizens with cognitive disabilities, including surrogate voting in the instance of profound cognitive impairment. While I acknowledge that some will find Nussbaum's conclusion contentious, this paper starts from the assumption that she is correct and seeks determine whether and to what extent her capabilities approach can support this conclusion. I argue that it cannot, given that is rigidly individualist. My analysis reveals the relational nature of the entitlement and highlights the need for an approach to justice that moves beyond individual capabilities.
Dr. Sarah Conly, of Bowdoin College, will present "One Child: Do We Have a Right to More?" on Thurs., November 14, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the Business Building, Room 111

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute is world-renowned, leading research breakthroughs and medical innovations for more than 80 years. The Institute continues its dedication to translating innovative research findings to outstanding patient care. Today, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute is home to one of the largest pediatric research programs in the country. With a phenomenal increase in research staff, space and external funding, the Research Institute at Children's Hospital continues to build upon its rich research history and continue its pursuit to improve the health of children throughout the world. This commitment to excellence will move the CHOP Research Institute from a world-class research institute to the undisputed leader in improving the health of children.
We advance the health of children by turning scientific discovery into medical innovation.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute fulfills our long-standing dedication to pediatric research, and its endeavors are the embodiment of our "bench to bedside" philosophy. All research activities at CHOP are administratively organized under the aegis of the CHOP Research Institute.
We will be the preeminent institution in the world dedicated to translational research for children.
Research today at CHOP reflects our commitment to improve child health and concentrates on basic, translational and clinical research on issues of importance and relevance to child health. With more than 425 investigators and a research staff in the thousands, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute continues its groundbreaking research on diabetes, neonatal seizures, childhood cancer, hemophilia, pediatric heart disease, cystic fibrosis, nutrition disorders, hypercholesterolemia, mental retardation, AIDS, sickle cell disease and numerous other diseases and disorders that affect children. Among its distinguished investigators are seven members of the Institute of Medicine, two investigators of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Pew Scholars in Biomedical Sciences, and NIH Merit Scholars. While Research Institute investigators have academic homes in one of the Hospital's six departments and hold faculty appointments at the University of Pennsylvania, researchers also belong to interdisciplinary, cross-divisional Research Affinity Groups and are supported by our Centers of Emphasis.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute is organized by scientific discipline. Our goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. We use two main organizational units to accomplish this goal: Research Affinity Groups and Centers of Emphasis.
The Affinity Groups support the interdisciplinary nature of our cutting-edge research agenda. Investigators are grouped by scientific interest rather than traditional administrative structures. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute provides salary support for group leaders and funds seminars and seed programs.
Children's Hospital makes a significant investment in translational research. This investment includes the creation of eight Centers of Emphasis, established to target effort and resources to areas of research that will have the greatest impact on translating basic research findings to medical innovations.
Researchers throughout the Institution benefit from the services provided by more than a dozen Core Facilities, which provide investigators with sophisticated research equipment, knowledgeable advisors and experienced support staff. We invest annually in refreshing the cores and acquiring new cutting-edge resources to ensure that investigators have access to the best tools available.
As the number of research projects has grown and expanded over the years, so too have the facilities available to support investigators, their staff and administrative offices. Research at CHOP is not confined to the Leonard and Madelyn Abramson Pediatric Research Center or the Main Hospital Building, but expands to include three cross-campus buildings devoted to clinical research staff. In addition, construction is underway for a South Campus that will house several new research buildings.
To learn more about the different research locations, visit the Research Facilities page.

Since about 1850, the U.S. coast has been hit by only three
Category 5 storms. That's hardly enough to hazard when and where
they will strike again. And yet, these destructive storms are
precisely the ones it would be most useful to predict.
Practitioners of the new science of "paleotempestology" believe
they have a solution. Written records may date back only 150 years,
but the history of older and even ancient storms remains —
buried underground, captured in ancient charcoal, hidden away in
caves. The paleotempestologists' goal: to free this history,
filling in the record of intense hurricanes and other major storms
through thousands of years ago.
Paleotempestologists plumb the depths of Western Lake near
Panama City, Fla., for "sediment cores." The layers of mud and sand
found in each core give researchers an impression of the storm
activity that washed sand ashore, indicating a likely hurricane
that can be radiocarbon-dated. Cores from this site indicated three
distinct sand layers, dating back to roughly 1,800, 1,400, and
1,300 years from today.
"It's the uncertainty that kills people, or concerns people," says
Kam-biu Liu, a leader in the field and professor of oceanography
and coastal sciences at Louisiana State University. "So
paleotempestology, by extending the period of observation, can help
us to better define and to reduce that uncertainty."
Liu made headlines early this spring when he announced that the
Gulf Coast appeared to be in a thousand-year period of few Category
4 and Category 5 storms making landfall. Four sites along the coast
from New Orleans to the Florida Panhandle had been hit only once by
Category 4 or 5 storms in the current millennium, although they
were blasted more often during the period between 3,800 and 1,000
years ago, Liu reported.
He drew his findings from perhaps the most mature of
paleotempestology's emerging tools: sediments retrieved from
coastal lake or marsh bottoms.
Captured in long tubes plunged deep into the muck, those sediments
are composed of muck interspersed with layers of sand. Liu contends
that the sand was deposited in major storms, when surge picked up
the sand from the beach and dumped it into the lake or marsh. "If
the storm surge is high enough, it would overtop the coastal sand
barrier, and it would wash the sand into the bottom," Liu
There are caveats. Some critics argue that the coast may have been
different in the past. That could mean the study lake was far away
from the ocean, and the sand deposited by, say, a river. Liu says
examination of tiny fossils reveal the old sand contained the same
organisms found near the beach today, suggesting the lake's setting
was similar.
Regardless of how that argument plays out, paleotempestology is
gathering momentum. Liu notes that scientists are mining corals,
tree rings, and stalagmites for evidence of ancient hurricanes. All
appear to contain a heavy oxygen isotope that is common in rain
from large hurricanes but otherwise very rare, suggesting that the
isotope may serve as a good indicator of past major storms, he
Between Texas and Maine, Liu adds, there are perhaps a dozen
"paleoweather" stations — sites where researchers have sought
to determine ancient hurricane activity. Many more are needed
before paleotempestology becomes a useful predictive tool. "How
accurate could our normal weather forecasting be if we had only a
dozen weather stations along our entire coastline?" he asks.

"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 3rd birthday party that was cowgirl themed. She was in a "My Little Pony" phase but I wanted to class it up a bit so I went with a cowgirl theme and infused a bit of "My Little Pony" here and there. The inset photo I chose was one of her dressed as a cowgirl which I would recommend as it really pulled it all together. Overall, just a great, classic design. The apples on the back are a cute touch, too!"
"I came across this invitation and instantly knew it was the one. This design is fun and classy at the same time. The orange and blue colors pop together. I was looking for a design that would fit with our scuba diver theme. With the three photo options on the front as well as additional ones on the back I was able to include all of the cute photos of my soon to be three year old pretending to be a scuba diver. When I received the invitations the quality of the paper and the photo images were excellent. I have had so much positive feedback from this invitation. I give it five stars all the way! (And I'm picky :) Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"Always pleased with Tinyprints! They do an amazing job with the best customer service I've ever received. I'll never even try anyone else!"
"I bought this invitation for my daughter's second birthday. I choose the rounded edges and pearl paper. The card was gorgeous. Everyone complimented on how nice it looked and how perfect it was for her county fair themed birthday party. Very happy with this card, super adorable and playful."
"We recently ordered our 3 year old daughters birthday invitations from Tiny Prints. The party is at a Pony Farm so naturally we chose. 'Just Horsing Around'. They were delivered right on time and they were adorable. The invitation quality is fantastic! The print is good... Cannot complain. Envelopes were superior quality and I do appreciate the fact Tiny Prints were very open with the possibility of extra postage for our envelope size/shape, I'm not sure I would have caught that! They are exactly what I expected! I will most definitely order again in December for our next child's birthday!"

CAIRO — Suspected militants in Egypt's Sinai abducted seven security personnel as they headed to Cairo for holidays early Thursday, security officials said. It was the first such kidnapping of security forces in the lawless peninsula.
The officials said masked gunmen ambushed two taxis at gunpoint outside the city of el-Arish, the capital of North Sinai governorate, fleeing with five policemen and one border guard captive. None of those abducted were in uniform, officials said.

Late Surge Moves Mountie Women Past Evergreen
Story courtesy of EOU sports information
January 11, 2008
La Grande, OR - The Eastern Oregon University women managed to beat a persistent Evergreen (4-13, 3-5 CCC) team without their "A" game. The Mounties used a late push to move past the Geoducks 65-58.
On a night when the Mounties could not seem to buy a perimeter basket (0-7 from 3), they were lucky to have the services of Senior forward Sheena Henderson. With the her teammates struggling from the outside Henderson put in work inside.
The 6 footer scored 19 points on 6-11 shooting and a perfect 7-7 from the free throw line. She also pulled down a team high 7 rebounds. Fellow seniors Laura Olsen and Tiffanie Ulmer both finished in double figures as well. Olsen managed 13 points while Ulmer pitched in 10.
Evergreen's Jennifer Solberg contributed 8 rebounds and 13 points, Kristi Auckland and Molly Clark had 10 and 9 respectively.
For field goal percentage, The Geoducks shot 42% to EOU's 45%.
Eastern Oregon maintains a perfect 6-0 Cascade Conference record and are currently ranked #19 in NAIA Div II basketball.
Tomorrow night Evergreen heads to Caldwell, Idaho for 5:30 game against The College of Idaho (#2 CCC).

McDonald's corporate ladder has only low rungs
Contrary to CEO Don Thompson's claim, entry-level fast-food workers have just about no chance to move up.
McDonald's (MCD) chief executive Don Thompson thinks so, telling Bloomberg his company has "always been an above-minimum-wage employer" and arguing that 40% of McDonald's executives started out as hourly employees. Critics who have already noted that his company's online budgeting tool for employees leaves out items like food and clothing were quick to disagree.
According to a new study by the National Employment Law Project, a fry shoveler or drive-though window cashier has little to no opportunity to climb the fast-food industry's corporate ladder. Fewer than 2% of industry jobs are held by the executives Thompson used as examples.
Instead, nearly 90% of all fast-food jobs belong to cooks, cashiers, delivery workers and other nonmanagerial workers. By comparison, 31% of jobs in other U.S. industries are above entry level. As NELP pointed out to The Huffington Post, front-line fast-food jobs pay a median hourly wage of $8.94 and workers stay in those positions for years at a time with scant opportunity for advancement.
The industry is also set up in such a way that someone working the fryers could just about never rise into the upper echelons of the industry. McDonald's has one franchise owner per 293 employees. Yum Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell and KFC require their franchise owners to have a net worth of $1.5 million and liquid assets totaling up to $750,000.
It doesn't get easier when the same fast-food establishments keep pulling the ladder out from under their entry-level employees. White Castle just joined a parade of fast-food chains planning to hire only part-time workers in order to duck the effects of the Affordable Care Act. Other chains are cutting back workers' hours, reducing their benefits or firing them.
McDonald's may be "providing opportunity," as Thompson says, but his claim that the company is helping employees "rise through the system and gain greater and greater wealth" looks a bit supersized.
I was a manager in the manufacturing industry some years ago. When hiring new employees, the ones who had worked for McDonalds, or other fast-food restaurants, for 6 months or longer never failed to become my best employees, who continually grew to earn higher and higher salaries. An entry-level job is just that: an entry into the workforce. The employee then has the opportunity to work his/her way up the employment ladder, either within the company or by an advance into another company.
Entry-level jobs are highly valuable for introducing low-skilled people into the workforce. Those who will actually work and learn have virtually no limit to the career advancement they can enjoy.
That's their (McDonald's') choice. It's a private business. What is the aim of these articles? Is it to foment anti-private enterprise sentiment? Is it to push for legislation of what private industry may or may not do within their own companies? Is the author pushing for government (The Collective) ownership of all things to the utter elimination of private property rights and privacy?
A better idea is to vote with one's wallet. Simply, don't eat there or give them your business if you disagree with how they do things. An American citizen is an independent merchant and contractor. We each have an ability to reach an accord with a prospective employer, or to start our own enterprise. If a person is not happy with the relationship, based on pay or otherwise, that person ought to consider that they are equally responsible for reaching and agreeing to that accord. It's not like the employer is holding them "captive". The individual's own circumstances may be holding them captive, but the employer is not -- not today.
duh! most of the entry level jobs hardly require a GED! many of the entry level people don't even speak english! play
the numbers game and you'll see the stats you list - and results you allude to - are meaningless for a business plan based on low end labor!
if you HAVE a brain, you can grow in any company.
if your goal in life is to flip burgers - then you reached it upon entry in McDonalds!
the key statement is that "40% of McDonald's executives started out as hourly employees." that says enough. there IS growth potential for those who want it.
What a useless article. . .
You want to move up? It's simple, be better than the employee next to you. Come in early, stay late, stop starring at the clock wondering if you can get paid 8 hours and only work 7.
I never see articles from MSN about how to get ahead. Is it because it is a lost art, or is it because the truth would upset the masses? Just because you show up to work does not ENTITLE you to better wages or frequent promotions.
It's sad so many of the young spew the right wing party line because being too young to remember history they also apparently never read of it. They argue that minimum wage is a training wage not designed as a career yet ignore that at companies like Walmart probably half of their workers are over 40 and worked there for years for little more than minimum wage. Over 30% & almost all retail jobs pay only slightly better than minimum wage.
I remember when I began working some 50 years ago when only teenagers made anywhere close to minimum wage. Few companies would insult an adult with such an offer. Grocery clerks & cashiers made 3 or more times the $1.25 minimum. At that time CEO's made an average of about 20 times what their average worker made, today it's 400 times. You educated or with a skill that make $20 to $25 an hour feel superior and feel comfortable suggesting 30% of Americans should work for close to minimum wage but aren't intelligent enough to realize had America maintained it's course those Walmart workers would be making what you do and you'd be making twice as much or more than you do today. Today many think it perfectly reasonable that the owner of a single store should profit 5-10 million a year while paying minimum wage. 40 years ago that wouldn't happen.
Realize this, if minimum wage were ended as many suggest and some jobs paid $3 or $4 an hour your pay would likely drop as well as pay is usually provided in steps. As in past history we'll reach a point that too many millions working full time jobs living in abject poverty will refuse to accept it. Unions will return as will strikes and violence until those very wealthy few at the top realize they can't continue to get away with this forever any more than the robber barons of the past.

Villa Terra Bella
Thirteen family members, plus a dog, just returned from an amazing vacation week at Villa Terra Bella. Each member of our family, from our two year old granddaughter to my 74 year old husband (and all those in between) had a wonderful time. I had expected to do lots of day trips but people were so content to hang out at the pool and on the rest of the property that we rarely left. Darlene has a lovely estate that was matched by her gracious hospitality. Prior to arrival, I mentioned my two sons were allergic to feathers. Darlene rearranged bedding to make sure their rooms were feather-free. And when I mentioned we couldn't locate pot holders and large cooking/serving spoons late one afternoon, the very next morning we found a bag at the door with lots of potholders and new spoons. We appreciate Darlene's responsiveness to our needs and the beautiful property, which together provided us all with a wonderful vacation. We are already talking about our next family vacation at Bella!!
This place is absolutely INCREDIBLE! You feel like you are so far removed from reality in a place that resembles Tuscany. It overlooks Alexander Valley and has an amazing backyard space and pool. The house itself is just incredible- so spacious and gorgeous inside. Can't say enough good things about this space- celebrated a big bday here and enjoyed every minute of it!

Beauce Shepherd, French Shorthaired ShepherdFamily: Canidae Canis lupus familiarisPhoto Wiki-Commons: Courtesy Pleple2000
The Beauceron is a sleek athletic dog, and as its name suggests, it originated in France!
The Beauceron is a herding breed that was traditionally used for stock in France where it originated. But this is multi-talented breed that has been used in many other types of work as well, including drafting, protection, and as a service dog, Originally they weren't well known outside of France, as they were highly aggressive herders. But selective breeding has made today's Beauceron more amicable and they are now found in family homes across Western Europe and North America.
Beaucerons are fearless and faithful companions. If they are properly socialized at a young age they will get along well with children and most other pets, even strangers. They have a calm demeanor and a desire to please their masters. Due to its imposing appearance and bravery, the Beauceron makes an excellent guard dog.
When selecting a Beauceron, check for signs of hip problems. Hip dysplasia is fairly common in this breed. Most Beauceron breeders in the United States only breed dogs that are hip certified.
Common Name(s) Beauceron, Beauce Shepherd, French Shorthaired Shepherd, and Bas Rouge (Red Stocking).
Breed Type The Beauceron is a considered a herding breed dog, as it was traditionally used for this in France where it originated. But the Beauceron is truly multi-talented. It has been used in numerous types of work from herding, protection, drafting, tracking, service dog, and more. A hardy dog, it is also adaptable to a wide variety of climates.
Background As its name suggests, the Beauceron originated in France. It is not known exactly how old the breed is, but records appear to go back to the 1500s. It is believed that the Beauceron may have been used in the breeding of Doberman Pinschers.
Although they are known as herders, Beaucerons have been used in numerous types of work. They have been war and police dogs, guard dogs, show dogs, trackers, and watchdogs. This is a very intelligent and hard-working breed.
Beaucerons are not well known outside of France. Originally a highly aggressive herder, selective breeding has made today's Beauceron more amicable toward humans. This has led to an increase in the number of Beaucerons found in family homes in Western Europe and North America.
Description The Beauceron is a sleek, athletic-looking dog with a short, harsh coat. Its ears are naturally half-pricked, but are usually cropped so that they stand erect. Eyes are dark brown.
There are two acceptable Beauceron coat colors. The black and tan Beauceron is black with tan markings above the eyes, on the bottom of the upper lip and throat, in two spots on the breast, the bottom of each leg, and under the tail. Harlequins have patches of gray, black, and tan, with the tan markings the same as on the black and tan. White hairs are unacceptable according to breed standards.
Care and Feeding The Beauceron has a voracious appetite but is prone to bloat, so feed two or three small meals a day rather than one large meal. Many Beauceron owners advocate feeding this breed a home-cooked diet including lean meat, vegetables and grains.
Beaucerons do not require a great deal of grooming. Occasional brushing is sufficient most of the time, with more frequent brushing needed when shedding. Baths should be given as needed. Beaucerons have double dewclaws on their hind legs. These must not be removed if the dog is to be shown. If kept as a pet, removal is optional.
Annual checkups will help keep your Beauceron healthy. Vaccinations are due as follows:
- 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
- 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
- 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
- Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
Beaucerons shed moderately, so if they are kept indoors regular vacuuming is important.
Housing Your Dog Beaucerons may be kept in small spaces, but they must get plenty of exercise. They should ideally have a large fenced yard to run in.
Social Behaviors Socialization at a young age is crucial for Beaucerons. When properly socialized, they do very well with children and will tolerate strangers when they see that they are welcome. They can get along with other pets of all types.
Handling and Training Training the Beauceron requires firmness, but its intelligence makes this breed a quick study. As long as the Beauceron is taught who is the master, he will be happy to obey.
Activities Beaucerons need lots and lots of exercise. They should be taken on long walks each day. They are happiest when they have a job to do and space to run off-leash.
Breeding/Reproduction When selecting a mate for your Beauceron, check bloodlines for hip problems. This is the primary concern for the breed.
Common Health Problems Hip dysplasia is the most common hereditary concern in Beaucerons. Bloat can also be a problem. It is important to know the signs and be prepared to take your dog to the vet quickly if they appear. Feeding two or three small meals a day instead of one large one goes a long way toward preventing bloat.
Availability Beaucerons are very hard to find in the United States. Prices are usually in excess of $1,000.
