Clean Energy Program | Graphic
Postcards from Two Clean Energy Futures
Our recent Focus groups in Charlotte, NC and Columbus, Ohio were asked to write two postcards to express their feeling about two future scenarios: one in which our nation strongly embraced and pursued clean energy technologies; another in which we did not.
For more information about our Focus Groups, read the full report: "Moving Clean Energy to the Center: Insights from Swing Voters in the Midwest and South," here.

e.l.f. Essential Eye Shadow Brush
- $1.00
Eye Shadow Brush is rated out of 5 by 938.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Puddles from A+ After I received this in the mail and used it I bought two more the next day. I love these brushes. I apply makeup everyday but wash my brushes once a week. I love having more then one of these so when I use a dark shadow I don't have to worry about messing up my color when I use a light color the next day. These make the shadows go on very nice and when these need to get tossed in the garbage I will be buying more.

Rated 2 out of 5 by katiekat from Ehhh I bought this at Target and brought it home to test out. I opened the package, pulled the brush out and rubbed it on my arm. Apparently the glue holding the metal part and the handle together wasn't strong enough because it broke into two pieces. I just took some scotch tape to tape it back together, and it held but it was disapointing. It looked very tacky, and I couldn't display it with my other brushes. When I did use it for eyeshadow, it shed a bit more than I would have liked it to. Not all the time, but when it did, usually on my eyelid, so I messed up my eyeshadow trying to get rid of the hair. The brush is very soft though. This might be good for beginners, or if you're on a really tight budget, but if you can try the Studio brushes.

Rated 2 out of 5 by KLW456 from Keeps loosing hairs I bought this brush a few weeks ago and it keeps shedding. Plus I feel like it doesn't gather the powder as well as some of the others.
Date published: 2014-07-07
Rated 1 out of 5 by Reeves from Terrible. I bought this brush yesterday and it is cheao quality. Worth buying a better elf brush for a few extra bucks, or a high end brush from mac ir sephora. The bristles are shirt and very hard, does not pick up eyeshadow very well at all. Applying with wet brush makes it worse. The bottom half of the brush easily detaches from the handle. I bought twi and they were both the same.?
Date published: 2014-06-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by quettabell from Perfect for loose/ pigment eye shadow!! This is the perfect brush for mineral shadows. I have had my brush for years with no shedding at all. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!
Date published: 2014-06-28
Rated 3 out of 5 by manuresmell from SMELLS LIKE MANURE! the brush is okay, but the pungent smell when the brush is wet is just unbearable. I was applying makeup and wet the brush to use it and realized there was a smell, at first i couldnt decipher where the smell was coming from, but as i put the brush closer to my face i realized the brush smells like MANURE!?PS. dont buy if you use your brushes wet often and cant stand odours such as ?manure...
Date published: 2014-06-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by Britbrit from Great deal!! Ok so I use many MAC brushes and a few other high end brushes but since I found these eyeshadow brushes for a buck I decided to give them a try and never looked back. I still use high end face brushes but refuse to buy another over priced eyeshadow brush I have bought so many of these and love em! For a buck you really can't beat it and it does the job!! I've cleaned them numerous times and have never had a problem. However, last time I purchased one (last month) it did shed which was odd because I've never had them shed on me before so consistency is def lacking. One bad brush out of 6 awesome brushes, I can deal with it. Give it a try for a dollar there's no reason not too!!?
Date published: 2014-05-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by shmur from Definitely Essential This brush is so inexpensive but just works so great! It packs on eyeshadow really well and is really soft. For $1 it's a steal.

Comments On Apr 14, 2014:The picture does not do these rims justice. They are very stylish and I might just have to buy a set for each style of driving I do! Much better looking than factory rims!
Additional Comments On Jul 26, 2014:These rims are great looking but be careful that you remember to order and receive the correct lug nuts. The factory lug nuts do not work well with these rims. The socket will damage the finish because of the tight fit.

Comments On Apr 17, 2014:I just paired these wheels with a set of 30" bighorns and they look awesome. They do have a different backspacing than my stock wheels... enough so that I could ditch my wheel spacers and still have the same wide stance. The only thing I didnt like was the chrome lug nuts... I would recomend getting the black lugnuts to blend in with the wheel. Not to mention Rocky Mountain ATV was great to deal with... They price matched another websites lower price that was currently out of stock on the tires I wanted. Shipping only took 2 business days to get to Missouri.

Dogs and Carpet: Simple Tips for Clean Carpets
We have dogs. We also have carpet. Sometimes these two things don't go together very well. Especially when messy dogs stain our carpet. Here are some simple tips for keeping your carpets clean if you live with furry friends.
Clean dogs = clean carpets: Bathing your dogs regularly can keep that dog smell out of your carpets. Keeping up with brushing avoids clumps of hair all over the house as well.
Wipe their paws: Paw prints running across your room just aren't cute. Wipe your dog's paws each time they come in from outdoors and you'll be amazed at the reduction in traffic dirt around the house.
Try club soda: For small stains, club soda can work well: after soaking the stain with soda water take towels and blot (don't rub!) until the stain is gone.
Borax to the rescue: Mix one part borax with two parts baking soda or cornstartch. Clean up the mess as well as you can with a towel then apply the borax mixture. Let stand for one hour then vacuum it up.
Let the enzymes take care of the spot: After a dreaded "accident" use a natural enzyme product to clean up the spot.
Buy natural, uncolored food: Dog food that has color added can stain your carpet should it come back up the wrong way. Avoid stains by getting food without any added color.
Vacuum regularly: Not only does frequent vacuuming extend the life of your carpet it removes dirt avoiding getting grime ground into the pile.
What are your tips to keep your carpets safe from pets?

Love those dogs, can't imagine they would ever stain a carpet!!
What cuties!
I just did a post on my favorite "tools of the trade" to keep a clean house with three good size dogs... It's hard, but we make it happen! Enjoy!
Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum!
Also regularly bathing my pooches seems to help them shed less.
I saved this post. Thanks for sharing.
"Buy natural, uncolored food" This is the best tip ever for cat owners with white rugs. I accidentally discovered it and lo and behold, no more orange stain shadows.
How about hardwood? My dogs are housetrained but they've gotten into the terrible habit of using a certain area as their bathroom. They get walked every 4-6 hours but I still find myself cleaning up after them twice a day. I've scrubbed with vinegar but I think the smell must still be in there because they keep doing it!
For the dogs who like to use hardwood floors for those in-between potty breaks. Can you block them from that area for awhile and clean several times with white vinegar, I use it full strength.
I would also recommend printing a copy of cleaning tips and solutions depending on the fiber type of your carpet or rug. Go to woolsnz.com for wool carpeting and you can also go to stainmaster.com or anso.com for tips and charts on cleaning nylon carpets. Also, keep plenty of small white terry cloth towels stashed and within easy reach. I like to buy the big 24 packs thaey have at places like Costco or Sam's club.
Also, Miele makes a specialized Cat and Dog vacuum and combined with a HEPA filter, it goes a long way towards eliminating oders on your carpet.
For carpet I keep an empty Parmesan shaker full of baking soda with about 10 drops of essential oil mixed in and I sprinkle on and leave for about an hour before I vacuum up.
@engineergirl- I feel your pain. I'm potty training a 10-week-old puppy right now and all this pee on my hardwood floors is killing me! Try mixing white vinegar, lemon juice and a bit of olive oil. You can add some essential oils, if you have them. I've been using something I make (http://bit.ly/bvGWLn) and so far it seems to be working. She never goes in the same place twice! :)
Having a dog is a pleasure, but wiping his paws after each go out is essential. It is for sure you will have to book a carpet cleaning service more frequently when having a dog.

Potentially landscape-altering deals don't come along every day, and a deal that would merge a 1,000-lawyer firm with a 700-lawyer firm would be exactly that. And it's not just headcount — the marriage of these two firms would have placed the joint entity at No. 9 in revenue for 2012.
But just because two firms are talking merger doesn't mean it'll happen. We've been let down before.
Indeed, we've been let down by one of these firms before. Way back in February, we reported that Pillsbury Winthrop was talking with Fulbright & Jaworski about a merger. Nothing ever came of that, but members of the management at Pillsbury are still on the prowl for a big, strong firm to sweep them off their feet. It's all very romantic.
And now they just might have found the partner they've been looking for….

The science of sync
Mathematician Steven Strogatz shows how flocks of creatures (like birds, fireflies and fish) manage to synchronize and act as a unit — when no one's giving orders. The powerful tendency extends into the realm of objects, too.

Health screening - men - age 18 - 39
All adults should visit their health care provider from time to time, even if they are healthy. The purpose of these visits is to:
- Screen for diseases
- Assess risk of future medical problems
- Encourage a healthy lifestyle
- Update vaccinations
- Maintain a relationship with a doctor in case of an illness
Alternative Names
Health maintenance visit - men - age 18 - 39 ; Physical exam - men - age 18 - 39; Yearly exam - men - age 18 - 39; Checkup - men - age 18 - 39; Men's health - age 18 - 39
Even if you feel fine, it is still important to see your health care provider regularly to check for potential problems. Most people who have high blood pressure don't even know it. The only way to find out is to have your blood pressure checked regularly. Likewise, high blood sugar and high cholesterol levels often do not produce any symptoms until the disease becomes advanced.
There are specific times when you should see your health care provider. Age-specific guidelines are as follows:
- Blood pressure screening:
- Have your blood pressure checked every 2 years unless it is 120-139/80-89 Hg or higher. Then have it checked every year.
- Watch for blood pressure screenings in your area. Ask your health care provider if you can stop in to have your blood pressure checked. Check your blood pressure using the automated machines at local grocery stores and pharmacies.
- If the top number (systolic number) is greater than 130 or the bottom number (diastolic number) is greater than 85, call your doctor.
- If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to be monitored more closely.
- Cholesterol screening:
- Men over age 34 should be checked every 5 years.
- If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to be monitored more closely.
- Dental exam:
- Go to the dentist every year for an exam and cleaning.
- Eye exam:
- If you have vision problems, have an eye exam every 2 years.
- Immunizations:
- After age 19, you should have a tetanus-diphtheria and acellular pertussis (TdAP) vaccine as one of your tetanus-diphtheria vaccines one time. You should have a tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years.
- Your doctor may recommend other immunizations if you are at high risk for certain conditions such as pneumonia.
- Men: Testicular exam:
- Men should do a monthly testicular self-exam.
- If you are not sure what you should be looking for, contact your health care provider for instruction.
- Physical exam:
- You should have two physical exams in your 20s.
- During the first exam, ask to have your cholesterol checked. Other blood tests are not necessary for healthy young people.
- Your height and weight should be checked at every exam.

Searching for the Next Franchise in Diagnostic Testing
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Ever since the human genome was completely sequenced in 2001, investment opportunities have abounded in the diagnostic testing industry, as exciting, new technologies have been built around this important scientific discovery. The increasingly recurring nature of the testing business, and its strong profit margins, have brought private equity firms to the sector in search of buyouts. The latest target is Life Technologies (NASDAQ: LIFE), which recently announced that it was reviewing strategic alternatives based on communications with interested parties.
Hunter Becomes the Hunted
Founded in 1987, Life Technologies is a leading provider of systems and instruments for use in clinical diagnostic testing, cell research, and forensics. The company has grown through the development of patents and technologies, as well as through the acquisition channel.
Over the past four fiscal years, Life Technologies' revenues grew 194.6%, primarily due to acquisitions that included the purchases of Invitrogen and Applied Biosciences. While the diagnostic testing segment remains its main focus, the company is achieving better sales growth in areas that target cell research and various forensic testing markets.
In FY2012, Life Technologies has reported slow growth, with increases in revenues and operating income of 1.2% and 3.1%, respectively, versus the prior-year period. With an operating footprint across 160 countries, the company's revenues have been hurt by economic pressures, especially in its European markets, which generated 30% of total sales during the period. Cost issues in the U.S. market are also a concern, as the federal government continues to implement its 2010 landmark health care law, which incorporated an excise tax on the sale of certain medical device products.
However, Life Technologies has been able to increase its operating margin this year by reducing its R&D activities and initiating cost-savings programs. Despite the lack of sales growth, operating cash flow remains very strong, with $556.8 million in 2012, which the company has used to reduce its debt and continue its share repurchases. Despite an acquisition price tag over $10 billion, private equity firms probably see an ability to leverage Life Technologies' balance sheet at relatively favorable interest rates, and a chance to profit from the industry's expected future growth.
Looking Elsewhere
Since Life Technologies is premium-priced for a buyout, investors should probably look elsewhere in the sector for an investment. A natural alternative selection would be Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), the leading provider of clinical testing services in the U.S. Founded in 1967, the company offers diagnostic tests through a nationwide network of facilities, and it has benefited from both the outsourcing of tests and an increased use of drug testing in the hiring process.
In FY2012, Quest has also exhibited slow growth, with increases in revenues and adjusted operating income of 1.1% and 3.9%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period. The company benefited from growth in hiring and associated drug testing, with segment transactions up 6%, but these gains were offset by weakness in other product areas.
Quest has pursued growth outside its core testing business, including its healthcare IT solutions segment, but its non-core business only generates roughly 9% of total sales. In the current slow-growth environment, the company is wisely using its cash flow to pay off acquisition-related debt and repurchase shares. At a 13 P/E multiple based on recent prices, this company is pretty cheap.
A Little Adventure
More speculative investors might want to target companies that are focused on the growing, genetic testing segment. One company with an innovative product is GenMark Diagnostics (NASDAQ: GNMK). The company's system allows medical practitioners to process 24 samples simultaneously, with initial results generated in roughly thirty minutes. GenMark currently has approval for four products, which are used to identify cystic fibrosis, blood clot disorders, and respiratory viruses.
In FY2012, GenMark has reached profitability on a gross margin basis, although operating losses have persisted due to the need to build next generation products. The company has reported a 270.6% gain in revenues this year, as it increased the number of installed systems by 81% compared to the prior-year period. Instead of charging for hardware, the company recovers its production costs through the ongoing sale of system cartridges, with minimum purchase requirements built into its sales agreements. While this strategy has led to operating losses, it should provide a long-term user base that will generate favorable, recurring revenue streams.
The Bottom Line
Investors should skip the drama at Life Technologies, given its premium valuation and uncertain buyout prospects. GenMark is an interesting story with its technology, although it needs to gain size quickly to compete with the industry giants. Quest is probably the best bet, given its nationwide network of facilities and the ability to add diagnostic testing segments to the core business. In this business, you need size to survive, and Quest delivers it.

day eleven.
today we took an impromptu trip to san francisco to buy some new work clothes for me (lauren) since the school year starts a week from today…yikes! i found a lot of clothes with erik's help. we also went to chinatown and bought some new teacups and toothbrush holders shaped like a giraffe and hello kitty. i also found an oddly shaped back massager with a san francisco sticker on it. you always find the most interesting things in chinatown. it's so much fun to browse through all the stores, and it's even better during the week because it's not as crowded.
it's been a long day of walking and traveling. we're exhausted so it's off to bed to watch rosemary's baby as we fall asleep.

A group of youngsters from all over the South Plains is learning what it takes to set sail as members of the U.S. Navy. The Reese Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps has only been established for a few months, but they've already begun training young cadets.
"When we first started, we had five or six kids, and so far, we're turning out quite a few number of cadets and we're receiving more every month," explains Frank Sanchez, executive officer of the corps.
They're a growing unit of just more than 20 young cadets training for a career in the Navy.
"Our goal is to actually teach them responsibility, respect, stuff like that. If they want to join the Navy afterwards, more power to them," says Sanchez.
As part of their training at the reserve center, sea cadets learn everything from the history of the Navy to military marches.
"We'll teach them to march and we'll do just about everything the military does. As a matter of fact, we'll do everything the Navy does," says Sanchez.
This along with learning discipline that will benefit them beyond military life.
"It will help you get ready for college, but I'm not really ready for college," says the tiniest member of this unit, Gracie Sanchez. She already has big dreams of her own outside of the Navy. "I want to be an artist," she says. For now, Gracie learns the art of courage, honor, and commitment: ideals that will equip this unit for success.
"My vision for this unit is to be one of the top leading units in the nation," says Sanchez.
The sea cadets meet one weekend a month. The corps is open to students from the ages of 14 to 18.

Ashton Kutcher on the set of Two and and Half Men with actress Molly Stanton.
The UpTake: A diversified portfolio is always a good idea, just in case your pet industry hits upon unexpected difficulties. But not many entrepreneurs diversify across entire industries, like Ashton Kutcher who moonlights as television's highest paid actor.
Now that's a diversified portfolio! Ashton Kutcher, who is an early investor in Skype, Spotify and Airbnb through his venture capital firm A-Grade Investments, and the founder of media company Katalyst, is also the highest paid actor on television, according to a report published yesterday by Forbes.
The 35-year-old Kutcher earned $24 million this year for his starring role on CBS's sitcom, Two and a Half Men. The man who first made his mark on television in Fox's That 70s Show is worth an estimated $140 million, according to Celebritynetworth.com, but presumably, not all of that is from acting gigs.
In 2000 Kutcher and producer Jason Golberg founded Katalyst, which produces its own series of Punk'desque videos via its Prank Lab, as well as documentaries in Thrash Lab. Anthony Blatt, the founder of BuzzMedia is the company's president.
Then, in 2011 Kutcher founded A-Grade Investments with billionaire investor Ron Burkle and Madonna's manager Guy Oseary. The firm has invested in 35 companies including BitPay, Summly, Flipboard, Path, and Hipmunk.
Kutcher replaced "winning" actor Charlie Sheen who left the show in a whirlwind of headlines, and was the previous highest paid actor on television, with $40 million in 2012, according to Forbes.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

From all accounts Oklahoma State freshman quarterback Wes Lunt isn't playing like a freshman.
Of course he's no Brandon Weeden yet, but for a true freshman Coach Mike Gundy says he's got good command of the offense.
His teammates appear to have all the confidence in the world in his ability and accuracy.
Even the guy who's job it's been this pre-season to shut him down is impressed with his progression.
"He's doing an awfully good job. He's so impressive as a freshman quarterback. He has thrown some balls where we've had great coverage," Young told reporters. "He got one here on the sideline where we were all over it and he drops it in the bucket. You've got to give him a lot of credit, too. Tracy Moore and the other receivers -- all of them are doing a really good job."

Huge Upside Potential Despite Recent Rallies
Mohsin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) have risen by more than 35% since last Thursday. This phenomenal rally started just after the company announced successful Phase III trial results for its primary drug candidate Reolysin. The company's stock has almost doubled in the last couple of months.
This success of Reolysin shows that the company's stock has the ability to go even higher. Due to its cheap valuations and huge potential it is also an attractive acquisition target. Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) are the two most likely companies, amongst others, to be interested in acquiring this promising biopharmaceutical.
Oncolytics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative methods to fight cancer, and its primary drug candidate is Reolysin. Reolysin has been tested in 32 different clinical trials for various forms of cancer. Out of these 32 trials nearly 16 have been completed, and the remaining trials are still ongoing.
The drug is a formulation of the reovirus which is, most of the time, already present in adult humans but doesn't show any adverse symptoms. The virus has the ability to replicate in cells that have RAS pathways and kill such cells. The infection keeps on spreading until all tumor cells are destroyed. According to studies approximately 67% of all cancers (and approximately all metastatic) in humans are Ras activated. Therein lays the mammoth potential of Reolysin, in its ability to effectively fight cancer through a virus-based mechanism.
Clinical Results
Oncolytics is testing its primary candidate Reolysin in a number of different clinical trials for various types of cancer. The company has released trial data for the effect of Reolysin on the Neck & Head Cancers and Carcinoma of the Lungs.
The company has released topline data for the Phase III clinical study of Reolysin on patients with head and neck cancer. The subjects were given the drug in combination with two chemotherapies, i.e. paclitaxel and carboplatin. The trials showed that patients with Reolysin regimen had a higher likelihood of having stable or smaller tumors as compared to patients only on paclitaxel and carboplatin. The trial involved 105 patients, out of which 86% being treated with Reolysin combination showed more stable/smaller tumors. On the other hand, only 67% patients on the conventional chemotherapy showed similar responses, making Reolysin approximately 19% more effective.
Last week the company also released data on Reolysin mid-stage Phase II trial for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCLC). The trial tested the effects on Reolysin on SCCLC in combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel (REO 021). According to the released data, 95% of the patients experienced reduced tumor size. The announcement resulted in the second humongous rally in the stock price of Oncolytics in the last two months.
It is still too soon to say that Oncolytics has hit the jackpot, but it can be safely said that it's an attractive acquisition target. We are already in the middle of the patent cliff with a number of big boys facing imminent crisis due to a large number of expiring patents. Pfizer is one of the most affected companies with the loss of its major drug Lipitor, amongst others. The company currently has more than $20 billion in cash on hand and can easily afford a company priced at $300 million. Pfizer already has a strong oncology pipeline and has recently announced Phase II results for its breast cancer candidate PD-0332991. Reolysin is also in Phase II trials for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and can be a good acquisition target for Pfizer.
There are numerous big pharmaceuticals working on treatments for cancer that could have an interest in this company. Amgen is one of the largest bio-pharmaceutical companies in the world and has a number of oncology candidates in various stages of the clinical trials. The company has 5 oncology candidates in Phase II and 7 candidates in Phase III trials, with Vectibix in Phase II for Head & Neck Cancer and Motesanib in Phase III for first-line non-small Lung Cancer. Therefore the trial results of Oncolytics not only make it a potential threat but an attractive buyout option, especially considering the small cap of the company.
Amgen is already interested in this form of cancer treatment because it had acquired BioVex for approximately $1 billion in 2011. The company was purchased primarily for its developments in Oncolytic virus, especially encouraging results in clinical trials of OncoVEX GM-CSF. Although the company has since halted the OncoVEX H&N study, it can still be a serious contender for acquiring Oncolytics. The company's previous involvement in the purchase of BioVex will make this purchase easier in terms of synergy and valuations. Moreover, after its BioVex failure Amgen will be in the best position to judge the potential of these trial results.
The stock of Oncolytics has appreciated more than 110% in the last couple of months. The market has responded positively to the clinical data on its two studies. The company is still testing the virus on numerous forms of cancer, and results for those trials can further push up the stock. Despite these appreciations the stock is still trading at 50% to mean a sell side target price of $8.50. I believe the price appreciation of Oncolytics is not a fluke because the drug has already successfully shown its ability to fight cancer, based on the recently released data. The company is also a major acquisition target considering the large number of organizations working towards better cancer cures. Therefore I believe that despite the recent rallies Oncolytics is still a buy for long term growth and acquisition prospects.

A bad ligature can spoil a good reed on a good mouthpiece by binding the sides of the reed, thus preventing the reed from vibrating freely. The Bonade ligature employs this principle by means of "pressure ribs", which hold the reed securely at points just off-center of the reed, allowing the reed's edges to vibrate freely. As a result, more reeds are playable with this ligature. Another advantage is that 20 to 30 percent more tone may be produced, for greater carrying power.
Bonade ligatures, designed by world-renowned performer and educator Daniel Bonade, are also available in gold-lacquered models for alto, tenor and soprano saxophone. For many performers, gold-lacquered ligatures help produce subtle and desirable changes in response and sound coloring. What's more, gold lacquering offers an extra "touch of elegance" to all performances.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – (March 31, 2006) Nearly four of every five Louisville adults participate in some form of physical activity each month other than their job. This is according to an extensive telephone survey recently completed by the Louisville Metro Health Department. The Health Department surveyed 2000 adults throughout Louisville to get a snapshot of the community on a host of health measures ranging from access to health care, to smoking rates, to physical activity.
The survey tool, called the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) was designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"This year's survey will serve as a base line to allow us to measure our progress in future years," said Metro Health Director Dr. Adewale Troutman.
According to Troutman, analysis also included dividing the Louisville Metro area into five contiguous areas, each comprised of Metro Council Districts.
"This will give Council Members, as well as neighborhood residents, more details on the area in which they live," Troutman said. "This data will also guide the Health Department in our decisions of where we should focus various health initiatives."
Some survey results include the following:
• One in every six adults in Louisville (16.7%) rates their health as "fair" or "poor" and more than 29% of African American females reported "fair" or "poor" health. • More than 13% of Louisville adults, or more than 70,500 adults, have no health care coverage of any kind. This percent is similar to the percent for Kentucky and the US. More than 21% of African American females reported no coverage.• Almost one in five adults (19.4%) reported illnesses or symptoms from outdoor air pollution during the past year.• More than one in every four Louisville adults (27.2%) and Kentucky adults (27.5%) reported that they currently smoke. This is higher than the national rate of 20.8%.
Additional bright spots in the report include the following:
• Almost 77% of Louisville adults 65 years of age and older received an influenza shot during the past year. This is higher than the percent for Kentucky (64%) and for the US (68%).• Almost 69% of Louisville adults 65 years of age and older have ever received a pneumonia shot. This is higher than the percent for Kentucky (58%) and slightly higher than the US percent (65%).• Nearly four of every five Louisville adults (79%) reported participating in some form of physical activity during the past month, outside their job. This is higher than the Kentucky percent (70%) and slightly higher than the US percent (77%).
Complete survey results are available on the Health Department web site at www.louisvilleky.gov/Health.
The mission of the Louisville Metro Health Department is to protect, preserve and promote the health, environment and well-being of the people of Louisville. To learn more about the Health Department's programs and services go to www.louisvilleky.gov/health.

Comments about Luna Guitars Oracle Series Zen Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I love this thing! Sounds as good as it looks. Quality construction and great action. Beautiful inlays are real rosewood and look great set in the spruce. I'm very pleased with my purchase of this instrument and will definitely consider purchasing more guitars from Luna.
Comments about Luna Guitars Oracle Series Zen Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I sat and played this guitar for a bit and looked it over for a customer of mine. It plays well, but was poorly described. Inlay on fretboard and rosette were plastic and bridge pins were plastic. And overall, I saw a few places where there were sand through spots. Very poorly constructed for the amount of money it cost in my own opinion. You will get better quality at the same price from Ibanez, Yamaha, Breedlove or Seagul.
Comments about Luna Guitars Oracle Series Zen Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This is an excellent guitar! I have owned many guitars in my time and the Luna Zen outshines them all! From the craftsmanship to the playability to the cosmetics! By far the most enjoyable guitar I have ever owned!

Inside Wall Street: U-Haul ahead of its industry
Its parent company, Amerco, is the big winner in the consumer truck rental business.
If you're worried, as some market technical analysts are, about the Dow Jones Transport Index not following the Dow industrials' recent vigorous advance, don't waste your time. No matter what the transport barometer is doing, there are transportation stocks that have picked up speed way ahead of the group.
A particularly impressive stock that has been riding high despite economic headwinds is Amerco (UHAL), the parent of the widely known U-Haul International, which is the world's largest consumer truck rental company and the No. 2 self-storage operator in North America.
U-Haul's stock has been on a roll, racing up to an all-time high of $114 a share on Feb. 10, before easing to $108 seven days later, on Feb. 17. Less than a year ago, in October 2011, the stock was languishing at $60 a share. What's driving U-Haul's success in an industry that's not necessarily so hot?
The company has been reporting strong earnings and revenue growth since fiscal 2010, ended March 31. The year before, when the economic downturn hurt most companies, Amerco barely made money, posting earnings of just 2 cents a share on revenue of $1.9 billion. But U-Haul's business started to recover in 2010, and earnings snapped back. The company earned a whopping $2.74 a share as sales doubled to more than $2 billion.
In 2011, as the economy showed signs of a recovery, U-Haul's advance continued, with earnings rocketing to $8.80 a share, on revenue of $2.2 billion. From all indications, U-Haul's operations defied the odds and looked like they had become recession-proof, with profits and revenues continuing their upswing.
"The impact of the decline in housing and a decrease in apartment occupancy rates appears to have ended," says Ian Gibson, an analyst with Zacks Investment Research, who rates U-Haul as "outperform." He forecasts the company will earn $11.13 a share in 2012 on estimated revenue of $2.48 billion, and $12.44 a share in 2013 on sales of $2.53 billion.
Gibson notes that the relatively mild winter so far had a positive impact on U-Haul's operations, which increased truck rentals. A big part of U-Haul's business comes from do-it-yourself movers who rent trucks when they move. U-Haul's self-storage unit is part of the company's growth as do-it-yourself movers usually find themselves in urgent need of storage space when they move residences. U-Haul also provides customers insurance services, including property-and-casualty, as well as life insurance policies.
As the dominant player in the consumer truck rental industry, U-Haul has continued to have a 50% market share. Other companies in the business are Avis Budget Group (CAR) and Penske's (PAG) truck leasing. The rental fleet of U-Haul, which operates a network of almost 16,000 rental locations in 49 states and 10 Canadian provinces, consists of 101,000 trucks, 82,000 trailers, and 33000 towing devices. The industry isn't exactly cyclical, notes Gibson, since in bad times some people downgrade their living quarters and use self-storage facilities and consumer rental trucks to move and store belongings.
Although it has been a stellar performer, some investors believe the stock has more upside potential as the economy picks up more steam. And corporate insiders control some 70% of shares outstanding, with large institutional investors holding some 28% of the stock, including Dimensional Fund Advisors, Keeley Asset Management Group, and Barclays Global Investors UK Holdings.
That's part of the reason Amerco's stock has been a solid performer -- and not hampered by volatility swings. A tightly held company with majority of the shares held by insiders could be a big advantage, indeed.

(Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Lakers will try to make it a series with the San Antonio Spurs Friday night when the action shifts to the Staples Center.
Catch all the action on TSN2 and TSN Mobile TV, tonight at 10:30pm et/7:30pm pt.
The Spurs took a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference quarterfinals on Wednesday night in San Antonio with a 102-91 victory.
Things won't get any easier for the Lakers in trying to make this a competitive series. Kobe Bryant is already down after Achilles tendon surgery and the backcourt took some serious blows on Wednesday.
Steve Blake, who replaced Bryant in the starting lineup and averaged 14.0 ppg through the first two games, suffered a moderate strain of his right hamstring Wednesday. He is out indefinitely.
Jodie Meeks has a sprained left ankle and is listed as doubtful.
The biggest injury of them all belongs to point guard Steve Nash. He received two epidural injections in his back and a cortisone shot in his right hip and is also listed as doubtful.
"I'm still in a lot of discomfort, not only from last night, but getting a bunch of darts stuck in me," Nash said Thursday. "I'm very concerned. It's really frustrating, especially because I was at the point where I was excited to start the last two games even though I still couldn't sprint completely and I was not moving as well as I'd like. I still thought I could still be effective and find a way to help the team and impact the game."
Blake and Dwight Howard led the way for the Lakers in Game 2. Metta World Peace and Pau Gasol had 13 apiece and Darius Morris added 10 off the bench.
The Spurs won all four quarters on Wednesday and point guard Tony Parker was spectacular. He notched 28 points, handed out seven assists and didn't have a single turnover.
"The second half I was very aggressive," said Parker. "I've been battling a lot of injuries, but I felt very good tonight. Most importantly, we won the game."
Parker was at his best on Wednesday, but the Spurs were polished on offense.
Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, Matt Bonner and Manu Ginobili all joined Parker as double-digit scorers in Game 2. The Spurs shot 51 percent from the field, 50 percent from behind the 3-point line and only committed nine turnovers.
"We're playing Spurs basketball," said Parker.
Spurs basketball has sent four championship banners to the rafters. It also taught the team to take nothing for granted.
"All we did was keep serve. We have to go out (to Los Angeles) and see if we can play better than we did at home," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said.
San Antonio won one of two games on the road this season against the Lakers and have taken four of the last six away from home against the Lakers.
Game 4 is slated for Sunday.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

A Collier County man is charged with possession of child pornography after deputies say he gathered photos of children engaged in sex acts and posted them - on the social networking site Instagram.
Instagram reported the posts, made under multiple accounts, to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Deputies say the company was able to provide authorities with 20 photos of prepubescent boys, estimated to be 6- to 12-years-old, engaged in sex acts with each other or alone.
"The children in these images are victims and they're victims of very serious crimes," said Sgt. Wade Williams of the Collier County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators were able to track the Instagram screen name to 18-year-old Sean Michael Rodriguez, of Cypress Way East in Naples.
Investigators say they found a total of 130 child porn images on his cell phone and tablet computer.
The sheriff's office doesn't believe Rodriguez took any of the photos himself.
Rodriguez is being held in the Collier County Jail. His bond was set at $650,000.
Experts say social media can be a hotbed for child pornographers, since they allow users to create closed groups. In fact, investigators say Rodriguez limited access to his posts - he had to approve all viewers.
But many of the web sites look for criminal content.
"They're actively looking for child abuse content and if they find it, they in turn report it," said John shehan of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
And in the end, that's how Rodriguez got caught.

Comments On Aug 15, 2014:Work like a tube should. I think the Moose tubes work a little better, but cost more. All in all good product.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 31, 2014:These tubes mount up easily, and offer outstanding performance. I have NEVER gotten a pinch flat with these tubes, and almost never had problems with cactus spines (only one flat after many, many encounters!). For a change, I thought I would try the cheaper STI tubes last time. Big mistake. They were much harder to mount due to the less flexible carcass, resulting in a pinch flat in the front. I put my used bridgestone back in, and will never go back. The bridgestones are worth the extra money for their superior quality and ease of mounting.

Comments On Jul 12, 2014:Well I have not had a flat (knock on wood) while running this tube. I have used several brands with little issues but I like how flexible the BS are and ease if install.

Comments On Jun 23, 2014:I've tried most brands, but the Bridgestone Heavy Duty Tube is actually HEAVY DUTY. I've tried a few different brands of heavy duty tubes that were thicker than the OEM tube, they were not as tough as the Bridgestone. I'd recommend these for sure.

Comments On May 01, 2014:I purchased this tube after reading the reviews. I am under the opinion that a tube is a tube but then decided to spend the extra money since the dirt bike I used this on I race. I don't need issues in a 2 hour race and after 3 races the tube is still holding air and has proven reliability. I would definitely purchase again.

Comments On Apr 10, 2014:Good product, not much to say. its a tube.

Comments On Apr 04, 2014:Very heavy duty, almost as much as the 4 mm Ultra Heavy Duty. Feels like overkill, but if it helps prevent a flat, it will be worth it. If you want a spare tube to cary in the field, you might want to just get a lighter weight and more compact version. These Bridgestone HD tubes are brutes!

Comments On Mar 29, 2014:It is an excellent heavy duty tube, made in Japan. I have had no problems with wear or the valve stem. I have used them for MX, and I am pleased with the results.

Larry Curran thought up dozens of business ideas throughout his life. Didn't try any of them, until now. The 65-year-old owns Choose Rain, one of about a dozen upstarts at the University of Central Florida's Business Incubator at the Daytona Beach International Airport, 601 Innovation Way. Choose Rain is a bottled-water maker with a new facility in Ormond Beach.
"We're going to be collecting rainwater," Mr. Curran said.
Then do a bit of microfiltration, along with ozone and ultraviolet light treatment. The whole thing got started back when he had a well. He saw a newspaper story about a business not far from his well possibly dumping harmful chemicals. Mr. Curran was in a conundrum; he needed potable water, but couldn't trust what was under his feet. Then he thought back to his rural Ohio youth. The family had a cistern to collect rainwater. He went to work putting a cistern at his home.
"I did all the math and it all worked out," he said. "I decided to build my house as a rainwater house. When I turn on my facet, it's rainwater."
And friends liked his tap water.
"I had lots of people coming to my house and taking away water in 5-gallon jugs," Mr. Curran said. "People kept saying, 'You should (sell) this for a living.'"
The thought grew into research, which became a business plan. That was in the early 2000s. Mr. Curran put that business plan in the drawer with all the others he'd had.
"Had I done it in 2003, I would have been (the first)," he said.
Some folks out in Texas beat him to bottling rain water and selling it. But Mr. Curran was winding down his accounting career, and eying that old business idea.
"I am an environmentalist," he said. "I think drinking chlorine is bad for you. I think drawing water from the aquifer is bad for you."
Turns out that only about 20 percent of the water that hits the ground makes it to the aquifer. Most evaporates or heads toward the ocean. While water covers about 70 percent of the earth's surface, more than 95 percent of it is saltwater. There's also less water than many might think. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earth has about $332.5 million cubic miles of water. If all that water was put into a sphere, it'd be about 860 miles in diameter. Earth's diameter is about 7,900 miles. That's like comparing a large marble to a basketball.
Choose Rain rented a 12,700-square-foot manufacturing facility in Ormond Beach and got the water rights to the roof. Mr. Curran said the company can capture about 2.2 million gallons of rainwater and put it into biodegradable bottles. When things are going full steam ahead, he believes Choose Rain will employ 35 to 50 at the facility, and bring about $16 million a year to Volusia.
"(The business incubator) has been a tremendous help," Mr. Curran said. "At 65 I assumed I knew everything about business. What I really have never done is understood marketing."
The business incubator celebrated its first anniversary in July. In 2010 the Volusia County Council approved $1.4 million to renovate a 10,000-square-foot facility to house it. Additionally, the county gave the university $750,000 to run it for three years.
"The business incubator is a place to start a company," said Doris "Connie" Bernal, site manager, said. "The entrants have a lot of resources to work with here. They have professionals who help them with a number of areas."
Choose Rain opened about a year ago. It was accepted into the incubator in March.

For years, the area right across the street from the RiverQuarium has been rundown, but that's changing.
A couple of businesses are thriving there. The new art park is open, and a sidewalk improvement project is close to wrapping up.
The block of Pine Avenue in downtown Albany across from the RiverQuarium and leading to Riverfront Park is one of the most visible downtown.
But it was also one of the most rundown.
"We just want to make some that are aesthetically pleasing, better access on the handicap and just public access up and down the park," said Tommy Gregors, Adica board member.
The new art park helped bring new life to the area. But it also brought something else.
"With inappropriate artwork on the wall, absolutely it just gives you a bad image," said Gregors
Downtown leaders want artists to show off their creativity in the park, but they want that work to be the kind of art that attracts visitors rather than scaring them away.
"We want the visitors to support the attractions, the skate park, Ray Charles park, all of the amenities we have helps bring people to the downtown area," said Gregors.
The Pine Avenue Streetscape project is close to wrapping up.
Jonathan Willis at the Levee Studios says the sidewalk improvements made a big difference outside his business.
"Well it's easier to get to and from here, nice parking spaces, the sidewalks are really nice now, so you can see people walking around with not having to bypass different areas," said Jonathan Willis, manager, The Levee Studios.
And while improvements are being made, with any work there are always challenges.
"Like with improvements, there is certainly a time of challenges, there is not full accessibility there. Certainly when it gets finished it will be more accessible, better parking, cleaner in front of businesses and art park," said Gregors.
Rainy weather has delayed the streetscape project to improve sidewalks and lighting on Pine Avenue, but officials hope it will be finished soon.

The unwillingness to let this go is low-grade shocking. Do they really want to let this kid, and his attorney, have a day in court? I've said before that the mindless overreaction by the education establishment to anything related to guns is an effort to "denormalize" guns. In other words, if you're not freaked out at the very existence of firearms, then there is something wrong with you!
There have been several of these stories lately and I haven't commented on all of them, but the theme is constant; acknowledging that firearms actually exist is as offensive, and apparently as dangerous, as waving a loaded gun around a crowded school hallway.
I was puzzled at first as to why schools weren't embarrassed by these episodes and didn't act quickly to make them go away. It's because they're not embarrassed by them. These aren't teachers or administrators, or in this case law enforcement, "going rogue."
