Does Agricultural Trade Liberalization Help The Poor in Tunisia? A Micro-Macro View in A Dynamic General Equilibrium Context
AbstractThis paper is an attempt to contribute to the research on poverty-alleviation potential of trade, by exploring the poverty effects of agricultural trade liberalization in Tunisia. Specifically, the study uses a small open economy computable general equilibrium (CGE) that includes technology transfer and endogenous productivity effects from trade openness in agriculture to investigate whether the trade reforms benefit the poor and whether agricultural productivity growth boosts the potential gains from trade. The structure of the paper is as follows. Section 2 outlines the plan for empirical investigation and presents the procedure to measure total factor productivity. Section 3 describes the CGE model and explains how the link between productivity and trade policy is incorporated. Section 4 presents some features of the Tunisian economy, in particular with regard to the agricultural sector and reviews the data used in the econometric and CGE models. Section 5 reports the empirical results and section 6 synthesizes the main findings and draws some conclusions.

We're big fans of hand-me-downs around here, not to mention consignment shops. But while I'm happy to put my kid in something another kid has worn (and loved), I'm not such a fan of some of the t-shirts we've gotten. I hate to sound ungrateful, but there's something deeply disturbing to me about some of the messages we send with these t-shirts.
Hey, I'm all for funny tees, and I'm not worried about people making my kid a target because of my sense of humor (or social justice) -- not with helicoptery me hanging around. It's the tees that aren't funny that bug me. I hate to be a killjoy, but I fail to see the humor in ....
Calling my daughter a "dizzy chick." Yeah, I get that it's ironic and self-referential and perhaps stands in opposition to traditional gender stereotypes by mocking them, but you know what? Too soon. And this was a heartbreaker, because it was a VERY cute little dress with a hood that I really, really wanted from a consignment shop! But I didn't buy it!
Making my daughter a self-centered brat. I guess there's something empowering about telling a girl to put herself first, sure. But there's something so off-putting about the whole "Baby Diva" thing! No, kiddo, it's not all about you, nor is it all about me, or your dad, or your baby sister, or anyone else.
Emasculating dad via a t-shirt. Faithful readers already know how much I hate Everybody Loves Raymond and other shows of that ilk for treating dads like oafish idiots. I hate it because it's not true, but if a guy is lazy or a wife is bitchy, the media representation gives them free reign to go on with their awful selves. This whole "second in command (after mommy that is!)" is (a) not true, (b) stupid, (c) really pathetic if that's the only place we women are first in command, so let's just drop the whole stinkin' issue.
Needing to declare that someone loves daddy. What the ... really? Are we that insecure that we need dozens of kids' t-shirts declaring their love for us? I just find these to be silly, fussy, and trying too hard.
Calling my kid an angel. This is me being super-superstitious, but I was about to click "buy" on some really handy cotton zip-up jammies for Abby when I noticed they said "Angel" on them. And (again, this is me, and this is how paranoid I am) I freaked out because angels are dead people, and I am terrified of SIDS, and I couldn't zip her into them without being terrified. I know. I KNOW.
For the record, there are funny, cute baby clothes I love! For instance, I am a huge fan of bad puns (like these "I Whaley Love You" jammies at Target) and clothes that direct me to do things I want to do anyway, like Abby's "I Love Hugs" pajamas. (When I put them on her, I say, "It says here that you love hugs. Is that true?" And then I test the theory. Dork!)
All I'm saying is: sometimes I look twice at what I'm putting on my kid and go ... what am I putting on my kid?
What baby t-shirt makes you go "eeeyuw"?

"All mommy wanted was a back rub"
I have a fav my son used to wear well two, onw was, my baby can kick ur babys ass and the other was only cry when ugly people hold me:) LOL i think they are funny and to get so bent outta shap means you have no life , just dont buy them idiot!
I'm not offended by any of these... I don't see what the big deal is! I agree - there are far worse ones out there than these!
It's kind of nice to see someone else is as strange as me! :D We don't let our daughter wear Princess/I'm a Princess things for the same reason. She is NOT a princess/diva/spoiled brat. We wouldn't want her walking around with an attitude of entightlement or of a spoiled brat - why wear a shirt that says just that?
My son was given a shirt that said, "Give me a cookie, and no one gets hurt." Yeah, it was cute/funny, but there is NO way we would allow that kind of behavior in our son, so why say it on the shirt?
I know. I'm crazy. But that's how my husband and I feel. So like you, we pay attention to the words on the outfits. Glad to know there are at least three of us crazies in this world. :)
Maybe it's just me, but I could do without the "If Mom says no...Ask Grandma!" and "Going to Grandma's House" shirts. Ditto for the "I Love Mommy" shirts. I get it. Baby loves mommy and grandma and daddy, but why on a shirt or onesie? Then again, my hormones have made me replused by anything that smacks of sentimentality. I cannot stand walking into Hallmark and picking out a card right now...all the sappy sayings just annoy me.

Cambria Riesling Cellarmaster Reserve
'98--Fairly sweet, with no nose to
speak of. A bit spritzy, with candied peach flavors.
Duckpond Chardonnay Columbia Valley
'97--Plenty of wood in the nose. The
palate is also dominated by oak flavors, though there are some fruity
flavors of pear and citrus in the background. Spicy, oaky finish.
Duckpond Merlot Fries Desert Wind Vineyard
Columbia Valley '96--Big aromas of
spicy oak and raw meat are the introduction to lush, sweet plum and
black berry flavors. The fruit continues on the medium finish. Not
very tannic. From young vines, which seem to be showing good
Duckpond Pinot Gris Estate Grown Willamette
Valley '96--Smoky aromas with some nice
citrus fruit underneath. Grapefruit and peach flavors. The finish is
fairly long, but neutral, as the fruit and smoke flavors fade before
the alcohol and acid.
Duckpond Pinot Noir Unfiltered Willamette
Valley '97--A lightish red color (even
for Pinot Noir), with a cherry nose. Smoothly integrated flavors of
cherries and spice dominate in the mouth. Light tannins make me think
this is a wine to enjoy now.
King Estate Chardonnay '95--A distinctly toasty, woody nose. Oak continues on the
palate, but with plenty of pear and lemongrass flavor to justify it.
Plenty of length on the generous finish, but some good acid too.
King Estate Pinot Gris '97--A very round, expressive nose of spicy peach. Peaches
and pear flavors come out in the mouth, and the full flavors continue
on the finish. A very nice example of this grape.
King Estate Pinot Noir '96--Lean and mean, with modest cherry flavors, and quite a
bit of tannin for the amount of fruit.
Loraine Valley Chardonnay
'96--An unoaked Chardonnay, aged on the
lees, according to the rep. Nice nose of apple and pear. Distinctly
spicy note to the round pear and banana flavors, and good length on
the finish.
Loraine Valley Pinot Noir
'95--Very light red. Woody nose, and
just a little fruit on the palate. Finish has a bitter edge.
Sylvan Ridge Pinot Gris '96--Toasty lemon and peach aromas. Odd, candied lemon peel
flavor, with some peaches. Slightly beer-y aftertaste. Not a
compelling rendition of this variety.
Paul Thomas Merlot Washington
'97--Smooth, with modest oak and plum
flavors, but in the end, undistinguished. An ok restaurant wine for
drinking now.

Ask the Security Alarm and Monitoring Expert

A Blue Sky Outlook
Q: What will the central station of the future look like and what services will it provide? Will it even exist?
A: With today's amazing communications abilities, some may think that the central station industry is becoming obsolete. On a purely technical level, it could be. Certainly technology exists to monitor and remotely control certain functions at a premises from as simple a device as a cell phone. This includes virtually live video.
If you wanted to stay online or be alerted by a premises system on a computer or cell phone, you could have a "special purpose remote" central station. To close the loop, you could just call the appropriate response, police, fire or ambulance, from the same cell phone. Possible, yes...but is it practical? The fact is that such an arrangement wouldn't work for long--users would quickly get weary of the responsibility.
The central station of the future will continue to have at least all the same functions it has today: the monitoring and dispatch of burglar and fire alarms, attendance functions, emergency signals, process monitoring of unique alerts and access control database functions.
Surveys indicate that central station operators are trusted almost as much as firefighters. Therefore they will continue to be called upon.
Video verification is the next service many customers will be asking for. This function can easily be automated with tomorrow's faster computers and software operating video data on a pixel level. This ability is available today and will only get better.
GPS with concierge-type services should also be on the list of new central station services that you can offer clients. An aging population, a myriad of high tech appliances, electronics and computers, the convergence of high bandwidth data channels and the need for full time monitoring will evolve even more new services.
An aging population will require remote medical attention beyond what is now call PERS (Personal Emergency Response Systems). The systems of the future will perform rather complex diagnostics on a patient and route this data through the central station. "Trip points" will alert the appropriate personnel when parameters are off normal.
On a less critical path are all the appliances and electronics now in the home and the additional, more complex ones yet to follow. They will break down, require service and require software updates.
According to an individual from a major chain store, his operation can remotely tell when equipment in any of his stores is not operating properly and will need service before those in the field recognize any anomaly for themselves. This is accomplished by the prudent placement of sensors in the equipment, a communications path back to a central station, unique software at the central station and well-trained operators.
With sensors monitoring all critical functions over the same communications path that an alarm uses, this diagnostic information would be invaluable to the continued performance of these appliances. Very often, a small anomaly caught early can offset a major expense later. The central station, equipped with proper software can work as a "clearing house" for such data. Central stations have been monitoring go/no-go type process control for years. The above example is an analog, more intelligent version. Why not extend this service to vehicles also?
The point is that a company that would benefit from all this data and need not have a 24 by 7 monitoring facility if it can contract with one already in existence and functioning well. The two entities, the central station company and the appliance entity, can share customer lists, perhaps even service personnel and vehicles.
Another change that's needed is the "receiver-less" central station. NFPA 72 and, in turn, UL, require that a receiver be used to "receive" signals from remote panels and pass them through to a central station computer. It allows manual operation in the event of a computer malfunction.

Kerry urges Syria foes to attend peace talks; rebel, jihadist killings rise
Washington, DC, United States (4E) – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday urged Syria's opposition coalition to attend next week's peace conference in Montreaux, Switzerland as the civil war gets marred by rising killings between rebels and foreign fighters.
Kerry said the Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) general should vote to participate in the Syria peace talks during its assembly meeting in Turkey on Friday. He said the peace conference dubbed Geneva II is the best opportunity for the opposition to achieve the goals of the Syrian people and the revolution, and a political solution to the terrible conflict.
"Geneva II is about: It is about establishing a process essential to the formation of a transition government body – governing body with full executive powers established by mutual consent. That process – it is the only way to bring about an end to the civil war that has triggered one of the planet's most severe humanitarian disasters and which has created the seeding grounds for extremism," Kerry said in a press briefing in Washington, D.C.
"The Syrian people need to be able to determine the future of their country. Their voice must be heard. And any names put forward for leadership of Syria's transition must, according to the terms of Geneva I and every one of the reiterations of that being the heart and soul of Geneva II, those names must be agreed to by both the opposition and the regime. That is the very definition of mutual consent," Kerry added.
The Syrian government appears to be keen on attending the conference on Wednesday as indicated by Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Muallem in a letter to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. In the letter, however, Muallem set a condition for the representation of the government in the peace talks.
"We demand the countries supporting terrorism cease and refrain from funding, training, arming or harbouring terrorist groups in harmony with international law and UN resolutions," Al Jazeera quoted Muallem as saying in the letter to Ban.
As another round of peace talk aimed at ending the Syrian civil war comes, rebels have turned against each other killing at least 1,069 people, mostly fighters. The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday that 608 of the dead were Islamist and moderate rebels, 312 were jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and 130 were civilians.
The group claimed that ISIL executed 21 civilians in a children's hospital in Aleppo and 99 anti-ISIL rebels. Other civilians were killed in the crossfire or in car bomb attacks launched by ISIL.
The rebels, on the other hand, executed 56 ISIL members they were holding as prisoners.

Ant-Man To Begin Filming Next Summer, Says Feige
By: Russ Burlingame on October 25, 2013
- In : Ant-Man Movie, Movies
- - No Comments
Many fans thought that, with principal photography wrapped on Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we might finally see cameras start to roll on Ant-Man soon.
According to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige–who is, after all, in a position to know these things–production on the film is still months away from beginning, though…so those of you who figured they had to give us a casting announcement soon lest they be stuck with no cast when the movie is ready to start–not so much.
"The only footage of Ant-Man is the test footage which I and Edgar showed to Comic Con. We start filming that next summer," Feige told the French cinema magazine Reviewer when asked about the smaller and more obscure properties that Marvel is developing right now. "Guardians of the Galaxy, we just finished filming that like a week ago. It is really a very special movie for us at Marvel. We love those characters, we believe in that storyline. Nobody's ever heard of it, which is in some ways liberating. The way many people had never heard of Iron Man before the first Iron Man movie. So we're excited to find ourselves sort in the same creative state of mind we were on Iron Man 1. Which is to say : 'How do we best introduce those characters that most people don't know, and bring them to a big audience ?' What James Gunn has done, both in his script and directing the cast… The cast that has been assembled is one that we're very proud of. The footage looks incredible. People who stay after the credits in Thor: The Dark World will see the initial glimpse of that world."
Of course, Thor: The Dark World director Alan Taylor didn't seem all that happy, earlier this week, when people mentioned that to him. He made sure to credit Gunn with shooting the scene and did his best to distance himself from both the way it was shot and the decision to attach it to his film.

the whirlwind that has been the past two days culminated last night at 1135 pm. when the family had decided to stop my grandma's tube feeding on friday and put her under hospice care, we thought it would take at least a week before she passed. imagine our surprise, a family in the nursing field who knows exactly how this process is supposed to play out, when we find that it's only saturday night and we get a call saying she won't make it through the weekend.
so the family, including the children and grandchildren and son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws all make their way to my nanay's private room at the nursing home.
and i was torn between the clinical aspect of dying - from observing the cold skin, the pallor, the mottled extremities, the irregular respirations, and the barely palpable pulses - and the fact that this wasn't any other patient. this was my grandma. someone who brought life to my dad and subsequently, me. someone who took care of me when i first came the united states. someone i watched get changed by a ruthless disease.
many moments stuck in my mind from the events of last night. the way that my grandpa in the philippines talked to my grandma over the phone and after over 50 years of marriage, he told his one and only love to let go. the way we all stood around as she was given her last dose of morphine, saying our final goodbyes, asking forgiveness for some, and telling her to watch over us. and the way she took her last breath surrounded by us all.
i've never known what it meant to have a "beautiful death." never really pictured what that meant. because the deaths that i'm familiar with in the hospital setting, in the ICUs have all been a messy ordeal. but, this, this was beautiful and peaceful and right.
i am sad. of course i am sad. but, i can't help but be happy that her pain and suffering is over.
so, this is for my nanay. thank you, for everything. be at peace ♥
i'm taking a bereavement break from work this week. three days. i was supposed to work today but i just couldn't do it. not just because i was dead tired and distracted but also because i felt that it would be a disrespect to the memory of my nanay - to move on the next day as if nothing had happened.
so, i'm taking the week off, spending it praying with my family, and honoring the memory of the matriarch of the family. the viewing will be held on thursday and friday, with the burial on saturday.
updates as they come.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I'm pulling my student from this school ASAP! I recently hear from my son that he's getting bullied by a teacher, his whole class is. I read the reviews over the summer and had a bad feeling from the beginning! My son refuses to get out of bed in the morning because he hates this school. He asked to be transferred to another school but everywhere is full for 6th graders. Have I spoke to the school about this issue, No! I dont want my child to be singled out and make things worse.
I am so pleased with Conrad Ball Middle School, I have found that the whole education is created to find the strengths in my child and teach him how to apply his knowledge in a manner to maximize his learning needs. As a parent of a special needs child I am very impressed with the dedication to see my child succeed. Woot!! Team ConBall!!
This school is great. They have help all three of my children and go above and beyond every day. We could use more homework, but I agree that sometimes kids just need to be kids. The ratings on here are not accurate at all.
I am impressed with the staff and school. They are trying something new and willing to do whatever is best for kids. Thank you to the dedicated staff at CBMS and for making my child love school.
I'm reading these reviews for the first time and I'm shocked. Conrad Ball is not full of bullies and mean teachers. I have a college student who went to ConBall, and I currently have an 8th and a 6th grader at the school. I'm very involved at all of the schools my kids attend/have attended, K-12, in the classrooms and in parent volunteer groups/organizations. I've seen ConBall through a couple of principals (some I was glad to see go!), and I can honestly say that the students are blessed to be under the guidance of the current administration. Conrad Ball has recently won some prestigious awards, including the most recent Innovation Grant, an honor bestowed on only 7 schools in the country. Do some real research when deciding on where to send your children to learn. Visit the school, talk to the parents who are truly involved. Schools are schools and they all have some problems, but Conrad Ball is a safe, innovative school, and it's the only place I'd send my kids!
Worst school I have ever gone to. I am trying to get out! Open enrollment is open now.
This school is full of bullies including the teachers! It is dog eat dog in this school seems anything bad goes and no one cares... worst school ever!
I agree :( worst school ever, I have been bullied to the point of serious depression. I am trying to get out and go some where else.
I don't really like this school because I get picked on and no one cares to does anything about it
I dont think the teachers, counslors, nor principals really care. When a child is struggling with their grades, pick up the phone with your concerns. I did as a parent, but we still don't feel that teachers, counselors, nor the principals care enough to make that initiative call or conference a meeting. This school also uses a lot of student (interns) teachers. A LOT!
This is a horrible school never send your children here. Although some teachers are very polite, most are unprofessional and rude. They never do anything about bullying. There "motto" is no place for hate, well my daughter is a hispanic and even teachers dont like her because of that. there is also many fight that happen there.
My daughter started her 8th Grade after moving from several schools and states. Her experience with the students at Conrad Ball has been very negative and my interactions with the staff have been unprofessional and distant. She has only attended 4 months and we are glad that she will only spent a year here. We have a plan to remove her if she is met with more bullying. She is a very sociable and bright child that is now not enjoying school for the first time. The kids are mean and bullying is tolerated and bad behavior is accepted. My daughter has had a few very positive experiences based solely on a couple of exceptional teachers.
Excellent school, doing fantastic work with Technology! Great friendly staff, I highly recommend checking them out, getting a tour, talking to CURRENT parents before you count them out.
even though this school has great club opportunities, I have to say my child wasn't challenged. My opinion is Conrad Ball is behind in curriculum. I feel this year was a wash.
Staff and faculty need constant reminders of medical conditions ( even serious ones) and educational needs. They say they read I.E.P but, fail to meet even the basic reqirements on it. You have to always stay on top of things in this school or your child will fall through the cracks. You are treated like a bother for making sure your childs I.E.P is met.They will never admit to any wrong doing and turn it onto the parent. This school by far has been the worst school for my child who has unique learning needs and also has medical issues. I have talked to other parents and I am not the only parent who has gone through this. Children should have to struggle this bad in a learning environment.
although the teachers have been helpful and understanding. the kids are pure mean and nothing get s done about it. same kids same prob and no one cares. DONT SEND your kid here if its a girl. to much drama, I know all schools have some but the rumers spread here are verry hurtful..
All interactions I have had with Conrad Ball have turned out positive. Things will not always be 100% excellent, however I do know the staff and administration at this school go above and beyond what is expected of them. If there is an issue to be dealt with- large or small- there will always be someone there to help find a solution. Staff are prompt to reply and very open to helping ALL students no matter the situation. I would have no qualms in sending a child to this school- I know they would be fed (even if they didn't have lunch money), cared for (even if they were having an "off day"), and acquired new knowledge of some kind throughout the day. With everything that goes on in a student's life, the staff at Con Ball do an amazing job of meeting the student where they are and working up. Keep up the superb work T-Birds!
I have a 6th grader and an 8th grader at Conrad Ball, and we have been continually impressed by the staff at this school. Yesterday, for example, I emailed the principal with a question, and by the end of the day, two of my son's teachers had personally contacted me to be certain my son had everything he needed to succeed in their classes. We have observed this level of dedication from every teacher and staff member with whom we have interacted at CBMS. In addition to academics, CBMS offers a full roster of extra-curricular activities, clubs, and sports, and the teachers who facilitate these groups are nothing short of outstanding. Further, Mr. Elias, who took the job as principal last year, has done a phenomenal job of ascertaining student needs are met by making changes to the bell schedule, grade-level teams, etc. He isn't afraid to challenge the status quo and continually makes improvements to best address the needs of the students. I cannot say enough about how pleased we are with CBMS.
Conrad ball has excellent teachers and staff. The teachers go out of their way to help students during and after school. They recently received a grant for IPads to help aid with textbooks and also to keep up to date on new information.
My sons have thrived at Conrad Ball Middle School. The teachers are very responsive to e-mails, phone calls and visits when there were any concerns. My oldest, now in high school, in 8th grade found his own motivation and talents through the team of teachers that worked with him. He came home with an "F" on his first science lab, but with the support of the teachers and communication with us, he was able to work very hard and "find his own talents" and by end his 8th grade year with 1 B and the rest A's! He is now in the Gifted and Talented Program and enjoying the Pre-AP classes he is now in. We don't think he would have been identified as Gifted and in Pre-AP WITHOUT the teachers and administration at Conrad Ball Middle School! Wonderful School without any doubts!

Rabbit Air MinusA2 Air Purifier
-via Red Ferret
6 Comments
Finally a cosmetically pleasing alternative to the "other" purifiers on the market, but ouch on the price! If it can squeeze 900sq ft from it, count me in..
please someone on at, do an air purifier round-up! and not just the pretty or expensive ones (would love to see options under 250). there is so much information about air purifiers that my head is spinning and i need to get one! help!
I just bought one based on a website referred by a AT'er. http://www.air-purifier-power.com/index.html
I wasn't able to purchase the one that really lives up to *true* HEPA standards but I did spend $150'ish ( I bought the Honeywell 50250N) and couldn't be more pleased! It's big, not so attractive but it works! Highly recommend getting one but get the right one (i.e. read the fine print).
I'm allergic to "many" things and recently have been suffering from my ear being plugged up. Doc told me that since I've been congested that it sounds like I was at my max as far as the allergens were concerned and that the first thing to try was to minimize the *triggers*. He gave me an Rx, a drug that in essence tells my body to stop reacting to the triggers. And on top of it I could possible get nasal fungus, glaucoma or cataracts. I threw the Rx out and bought a HEPA filter. Been running it 24/7 and my ear has ceased to be plugged, I'm breathing better and it's not so labored.
i bought a large hepa air purifier at http://www.airgle.com , and they use 4 hepa. So far so good.
thanks for the information. You can read air purifier reviews or get information about air purifier fan at the websites.
Love the sleek look of this rabbit air purifier model

The Doctor ran his hand across the console, sighing in boredom. He hadn't done anything today. Nothing. His head was pounding. The TARDIS kept sparking when he would touch her. She wasn't ill. No he had scanned her. Something else was wrong? With…
He walked down the hall where the TARDIS originally landed on the ship, entering the room as it appeared and opening the doors. "Hey Doc" He said as he walked over with a small smile "Have a good……. However long it's been for you?"
The Doctor grins, standing up. "Hello. It's only been a few…days I think." He shrugs. "I don't keep track of time."
He snorted "Not being much of a Lord of Time, are we?" He smirks. "We should do something. Like our old time adventures."
"Sure why not!" He stood up going to the controls, he reached for the lever and it sparked at him again. "Damn it!" His head started hurting even more. He groaned, rubbing the side of his head. "She's been doing this all day. Not letting me drive. I've been floating up in space for hours. I don't know what's-" He shut his eyes tight as a sudden pain went through his body. Suddenly everything went black for him. He took a deep breath, opening his eyes. They were black.
He raised a brow as it sparked, trying to decipher if he was either drunk or something was wrong. Very wrong. She'd never do that to him unless either of those were the reasons, and he smelled no alcohol and saw no signs of him being drunk. When his words were cut off, Jim walked closer and put a hand on his shoulder. "Doctor, are you oka…" He trailed off when he saw the solid black eyes, sliding a laser gun out of his pocket and slowly stepping away, pointing it at him warily. "Doc, what's wrong." He demanded more so than asked.
He reluctantly began taking the handcuffs off.

Sandy Hook Fully Exposed - OFFICIAL PART 2

- Hits: 193
This is the sequel to the viral monster "Sandy Hook - Fully Exposed". We will admit it was not as polished as we would have liked. We never thought it would go viral and since the time it was made, some points have been debunked. That does not mean there is not still a ton of evidence and information not only in this video, but in future videos. Try to put a negative spin on this media!

I wonder if this drill was supposed to 'go hot' and one of, or all, the shooters backed out? Its funny that so many of the people who appeared on camera are members of the screen actors guild, not one shot of crime scene, and some of the players clearly put up their 'memorial pages' too soon. The public is now being told it is "crazy" to question this? Where have we heard that before? and of course, right on cue, the government is now using this staged event (regardless of how much of it is real or fake) to put through more unconstitutional statutes... Folks perilous times are ahead.... those of you who are wise would do well to take steps to prepare. Watch out for their global King... They are preparing the way for his appearance, and they will demand your allegiance to him or you will be isolated.

Benefits of open access to research
There are tangible benefits to depositing your research in ePrints Soton. These include:
- making your research more visible and available
- promoting your work and that of other academics within your community at the University of Southampton
- using it as a secure store for your research publications - which can help you to respond to the many requests for full text and publication data
- contributing to national and global initiatives which will ensure an international audience for your latest research (other universities are developing their own archives which, together, will be searchable by global search tools)
REF, a new approach to research assessment
- The REF will include citation metrics.
- There is a growing body of research to show that open access to research increases the citation rate
- Some researchers here have already reported a significant rise in their H-index after putting their work on e-prints
Strengthen collaboration
Researchers with their work in ePrints have:
- had queries from other researchers working in their area
- attracted interest from potential PGT and PGR students who have found research in their area of interest
- used ePrints to find out who else is working in their area here in Southampton
Maximise exposure
- ePrints is designed to score well in Google and Google Scholar rankings putting your work at the top of a search
- developing research communities are making good use of repositories, China and India are in our top 4 users
- other proprietary services now harvest from ePrints e.g. Thomson
Maximise reuse
ePrints is currently used by some schools to:
- feed bibliographic information and PDFs of papers to researchers' home pages
- share information about the most recent research e.g. on LCD screens in foyers
- make working papers and report series published by research groups available.
Fulfil grant requirements
- All the main Research Councils, the EU and some other bodies now require that an open access copy of your work is deposited as a condition of funding
- For some of these the institutional repository is the easiest place to deposit your work
What can I add?
- ePrints can take all kinds of file including images and streamed media and you can add any work to which you own the copyright
- It is University policy that you deposit:
- your author version of journal articles and conference papers
- a bibliographic record for all of your publications
What about copyright?
- Over 80% of journal publishers allow you to make the final author version of your article available (post peer review, pre copy editing)
- All they ask is that you put the full reference to the paper and the DOI at the top of your paper. You will want to do this so you are cited correctly anyway.
How do I find out the publisher's policy?
- We have some quick reference guides for the most popular publishers in your discipline
- There is a webpage with a comprehensive listing (the national RoMEO service) at the point of file upload
- If it is not on Romeo let us know and we will contact the publisher

Jenelle Ferguson Dr. Carin Lightner February 7, 2012 Red Fish, Blue Fish, LLP Fran Fisher, owner of Red Fish, Blue Fish was a TV personality as a broadcaster of college sports. He had a small media consulting firm that was starting to decline due to other media outlets such as YouTube and Facebook. Fisher was considering taking on a new venture opportunity by making a hobby into a lucrative business. His hobby in collecting exotic fish and displaying them in large tanks throughout his office was well known. Several of Frans friends started asking for advice about buying these exotic fishes and the necessary equipment needed for setup. After Fisher successfully finished Andy Zimmerman, a local dentist office, he started receiving more inquiries from other local businesses. Fishers main supplier for fish and equipment was China. Fishers nephew Eric Lynch joined the business to provide his expertise on logistics and supply chain. After three years, Eric was now vice president for global supply chain management and he had a lot to do with the growth of the business.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"If you order the light pink, it is actually Peach. Just beware, color is not as depicted in the images. Beautiful, but very different."
"This invitation came out beautiful. On the sample that we ordered, the font was very small. This made me nervous that I wouldn't be able to increase the font, and fit all of the information that we needed on there. However, it turned out not to be an issue. They are able to do so much to customize your order, and after a few rounds of proofs, the designer had nailed it. And the customer service staff was so helpful throughout the whole process."
"We were looking for a lavender as the primary color for our invitation and when we saw this one with the green accents (our secondary color), we instictavely knew it would be the right one for us! We were thrilled when we saw the sample and ordered them that day. The paper has a wonderful texture and weight. The ink color is not quite as lavender in person as it looks on the computer, but is still a very pretty color. AND we got the invitations over a week early...great service! Thank you for making this part of our wedding so easy."
"I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Wedding Paper Divas. I received all orders right on time, they turned out better than I even imagined and they were the perfect design for my destination wedding. I continue to get compliments on my invitations and will treasure them forever! Thank you to the kind ladies that I spoke with via phone to make some last minute edits! They were amazing :) Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!! Stacey"
"Love this invitation. I was able to have it say just what I wanted. We got the shimmer paper which is so pretty. The pink matches great with our pink and grey wedding colors. Everyone loves them. Thank you WPD!"

Paris Jackson does NOT respect authority ... so says her uncle Jermaine Jackson ... who insinuated that P's cutting incident was an overreaction to being told she couldn't go to a concert.
TMZ broke the story ... Paris was hospitalized last month for slicing her arm with a meat cleaver ... after she became upset at being told she was not allowed to attend a Marilyn Manson concert.
Sources say Paris' issues stem from her father's death -- which she's had a very hard time dealing with ever since he passed in 2009.
But when we ran into Jermaine in Calabasas yesterday, he told us ... issues be damned, Paris still needs to learn she can't always do whatever she wants.
"[Paris] has to learn there are certain guidelines when you grow up being a teenager," Jermaine said ... "There are rules."
But Jermaine isn't just pointing the finger at Paris ... suggesting P's guardians are to blame -- "I just think that ... things could have been enforced a little stronger."
Jermaine never named names ... so it's unclear if his issues are with T.J., Katherine, or Michael himself.
I have several reactions. Clearly, Jermaine shouldn't have responded to the question and his comment displays a lack of interest and true concern for Paris. But to be fair, what he said in the video is much more mild than what TMZ wrote. The comment about guidelines is obviously valid generally and he did acknowledge that more consistency was needed. But, it isn't just discipline that she needs. Paris is living in an environment of extreme contradictions with a beloved seemingly saintly grandmother who applies inconsistent limits, and probably little interaction and affection. I recall seeing Paris coming out of a local dept store 2 years ago. I was struck by a number of things. She was tall, adorable, dressed in her own unique style, smiling brightly, and looked at least 16 not 13. She was followed discretely by a body guard. But other than him, she was alone, shopping by herself on a late Saturday afternoon. My impression is that this happened a lot. In fact, the few times we've seen video or photos of KJ with Paris, I've noted that Paris reaches out affectionately to her and not the other way around.. Personally, I think what's happened with Paris, is the accumulation of a lot of factors including not fully grieving for Michael, emotional neglect, inconsistent limit setting with little actual affection, overexposure to social media, and a fractured sense of trust in her family following last summer. All that plus the current trial and Robson's accusations, just overwhelmed her even though she developed a pseudo mature demeanor. She needs a lot of help and I don!t see anyone in this group who seems prepared to step up.
Amazing isn't? Two dads killing themselves because their sons were "allegedly" molested.
No medical examination to confirm the crime just lies.
Why did they park their sons at Michael's house? What else money of course.
Teenagers DO act like azzholes too often, but evidently that is not the issue(s). I'm sure Micheal had nannies do everything.
Jermaine probably shouldn't speak about her at all.
Sorry rabids, guess who did not get to see the fireworks tonight!!!!
Well, well, there is a big enough fire burning in hell for the pedo, who would be really scared of the fireworks anyways!!!
Tabloid report on Michael Jackson 'FBI files' questioned
Los Angeles (CNN) -- A London tabloid declared Sunday that "secret FBI files" reveal Michael Jackson paid millions to silence dozens of boys he abused.
The story quickly echoed throughout global media, perhaps in part because of the trial of the Jackson family's wrongful death lawsuit against a concert promoter and the recent suicide attempt by Jackson's teenage daughter.
A website can enjoy a sharp spike in traffic -- which can translate into advertising revenue -- with a sensational headline.
But journalists and others who have closely followed the controversies and legal fights surrounding the pop star found the description by the Sunday People newspaper of the do***ents as being from FBI files to be questionable.
'Recycled tabloid reports'
Prince Jackson testifies against AEG
Paris: Michael said nanny 'lied a lot'
Compare Michael Jackson in 2001 to 2009
"None of this is new -- zero -- and there was no FBI involvement," said CNN Special Investigations reporter Drew Griffin. "It just sounds like recycled tabloid reports from 20 years ago."
Griffin saw and reported on the same material more than a decade ago as a local Los Angeles reporter.
"The bottom line is this stuff was not in the FBI files," said Tom Mesereau, the lawyer who successfully defended Jackson against child molestation charges in a lengthy trial in 2005. "The FBI closed the investigation. It sounds like a bunch of utter nonsense."
Journalist Diane Dimond, who is no defender of the pop icon, also attacked the Sunday People article.
"It is obvious the paper took this old story and proceeded to make it seem new by adding numbers to it -- 24 boys paid off $35 million by Michael Jackson," Dimond said. "The problem is there's no evidence to back up the claim that Jackson made that many payoffs."
Dimond's book "Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case" details her coverage of allegations of improper relationships between Jackson and boys.
The tabloid report was published at a critical time for the Jackson family, as its wrongful death lawsuit against a concert promoter entered its 10th week and while Jackson's daughter, Paris, is being treated after a reported suicide attempt.
"The files will also dismay Jacko's kids, Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and 11-year-old Blanket, who have not yet come to terms with losing their father," the Sunday People story said.
Michael Jackson considered the British tabloids' use of "Jacko" to be a derogatory term.
Griffin, Dimond and Mesereau each point to Paul Barresi, a former porn actor who lost his private investigator's license for fabricating evidence, as the person who possessed the material published Sunday.
It included an audio recording of an interview done by Jim Mitteager, a reporter with the U.S.-based Globe tabloid, with a couple who worked as chefs at Jackson's Neverland Ranch. Mitteager left the tape to Baressi when he died of cancer in 1997.
"Paul Barresi made it no secret over the years that he had come into possession of the Mitteager tapes and that they included a long interview with Philip and Stella LeMarque, the former live-in couple at Neverland," Dimond said. "He discussed the tapes and their contents with me on several occasions."
Griffin said Barresi also gave him access to the material years ago. It included reports Barresi wrote when he worked for now-disgraced celebrity investigator Anthony Pellicano. Pellicano is serving a 15-year federal prison sentence for a wiretapping and racketeering convictions.
Porn star turned P.I.
"Since Barresi has fairly recently been stripped of his P.I.'s license, I can imagine that money has been tight for him," Dimond said. "My best guess is that the UK paper offered Mr. Barresi several thousand dollars for his copies of the old Pellicano files."
When CNN called Barresi on Tuesday to ask if he sold the materials to the newspaper, he responded: "I have no comment and that's all I have to say."
But before the question could be posed, he asked if the reporter wanted to know how many times he's had sex in a hammock. He explained it was a common question people ask because of his porn film career.
Barresi's films, with titles such as "Married Men with Men on the Side" and "Leather Bears and Smooth Chested Huskies," won him the X-Rated Critics' award for best "group grope scene" in 1985 and he was inducted into the GayVN's Hall of Fame in 2008.
Barresi, now 60, retired from the porn business to focus more on his investigative work, but court records suggest he was not as successful in that work.
He obtained a California private investigator's license in 2009, but lost it three years later. He signed a "stipulated settlement" with the state admitting that he faked a report about an ex-girlfriend's drug use to get her fired from her hospital job as a nurse in 2011.
Federal court records also show Barresi and his wife filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2010.
Tabloid stands by story
A Sunday People spokesman would not confirm that Barresi was the paper's source or if it paid for access, but he did stand by the story.
"Our article clearly states that we have seen copies of reports, phone transcripts and interviews carried out by an agent working for private investigator Anthony Pellicano who had been hired by Michael Jackson," Rupert Smith said in an e-mail to CNN. "The files were seized by the FBI when Pellicano was himself investigated in 2002. The do***ents then became part of the FBI's files on Jackson case numbers CADCE MJ-02463 and CR 01046."
In fact, the FBI released files it collected on Michael Jackson in December 2009, six months after his death. Most of them related to the federal agency's support of the California investigations of child molestation allegations against the entertainer.
Los Angeles Police, who were investigating child molestation allegations against Jackson, called the FBI's Los Angeles office in September 1993 to suggest the agency look into a "possible federal violation against Jackson concerning transportation of a minor across state lines for immoral purposes (Mann Act)", one do***ent said.
The Los Angeles County district attorney did not pursue criminal charges against Jackson, but the singer did reach a confidential financial settlement with the 1993 accuser, Jordan Chandler, and his father after they filed a lawsuit. Reports at the time said the Chandlers got between $16 million and $20 million from Jackson's insurance company.
The Chandler accusation became a key part of the prosecution's case when Jackson was tried and acquitted of molestation a decade later in Santa Barbara County, California.
Mesereau, who reviewed the 330 redacted pages released by the FBI, said the do***ents purported by the newspaper to have been included in the files were not there.
CNN also reviewed the files, which are still posted on the FBI website, and found none referring to other payoffs by Jackson. None of the file numbers matched those quoted by the newspaper.
"You can imagine what the prosecutor in Santa Barbara would have done with this information if they really had it," Mesereau said.
Phillip LeMarque did testify, telling the court that he once caught Jackson improperly touching then-child actor Macaulay Culkin while he worked as Jackson's self-described cook and "majordomo" for about 10 months in 1991.
Culkin, the second witness called in Jackson's defense, denied any improper touching by Jackson.
Jackson's guilt is 'inconsequential'
Barresi represented the LaMarques in an attempt to sell their story to tabloid media outlets, Mesereau said.
LeMarque admitted at the trial that he tried to make money from his story, even meeting with Barresi, who promised him $100,000 from the tabloid press, maybe more if the story were dirtier.
"He began to make the story more and more graphic as the price went up," Mesereau said, referring to Phillip LaMarque.
"Was it true that the broker told him the payoff might be higher if Mr. Jackson's hand was inside Culkin's pants?" Mesereau asked during cross examination.
"That's what he said," LeMarque said.
Barresi discussed his deal with the LaMarques in an interview for a PBS "Frontline" do***entary in 1994.
"My interest in helping them was that they promised me a percentage of what they made," Baressi said. "I was not on any kind of crusade to bring anyone to justice. Whether Michael was guilty or innocent at that point was inconsequential. My interest was strictly for the money, as was theirs, I might add."
It doesn't change the fact that Wacko & Jermaine
manipulated the kids, lied to concert promoters in Korea & Britain, refused to take care of their children's well being, & worshipped rich unethical people, and Paris isn't leaving the hospital.
Only in this world is it possible that Wacko escaped prison with Propofol lies, negligence of abused boys, taking Demerol because he loved Arnold Klein & Liz Taylor so much, mocking suicidal people by using the "SLITTING WRIST" phrase to describe his need to live with little boys, feeding junk food to cancer victims, paying off criminal families with millions, trying to hug a released murderer of 2 year old James Bulger, and accusing the police officers where he was arrested of assault/bullying, being a piece of crap, ugly, arrogant, difficult, needy, sycophantic, easily fooled, imbecilic, pitiful creepy plastic surgery freak & transvestite feminine innocent Caucasian-looking victim.
If he was so loving & understanding to kids, why didn't he allow his sons & younger siblings to "share beds" with Demerol/Propofol users such as himself?
Bull crap. Here are Paris problems.
Many times, she had nightmares that kids were laughing at her because her mother chose money and horses over her, she went running to MJ's room after waking up from those nightmares, and triggered MJ's alarm, MJ had the room locked with a "do not disturb" sign on. She felt totally abandoned when she knocked on the door and some other people's little boys opened the door naked and told her to go away!
She witnessed all the boys come and go from her daddy's bed with pron magazines on hand, but she was told never step into that room. She asked the Chef for juice and was given Jesus Juice and thus became alcoholic,
She saw her daddy cutting her nose but she was smart enough that would make her as ugly as her daddy so she cut her arms instead.
She heard her daddy threatening cancelling this and that when he could not get his way getting his "milk" so when she couldn't go to Marilyn Mansion Concert or similar things she couldn't get her way, she threatened to cut herself and "cancel" her life.
Then when Wade filed the molestation claim, her light bulb went up with the sound of the boys sex alarm. So she finally realized the kids were not just harassing her and the stories were true. She didn't know what to say next time when a kid would call her daddy a pedo in front of her face and she didn't want to wear those ugly masks again on the street.
What can she do???
Well, get some sympathy and hopefully she can still look pretty for those rabid fans!!!
What can she do???
Good question!!!
How about joining us for iPad! Give a ton of money to Wade with an apology. The world knows MJ was a diddler (70%), there is no way to fight that, what she needs to do is to accept the fact and be heroic to admit it and turn that around by helping the victims.
If we never protect abused kids like Jordan Chandler then we give gifts to drug abuse enablers and little criminal children and we damage ourselves with illegal sedatives/Demerol & hack off the part of our face that expresses a lot of character & emotions, we don't get little doves released to the sky from fangirls. We go to prison.
MJ clearly had a history of not thinking he
should bend down to rules of the "little ignorant people" and his sexual identity was confused to the point where he believed he did nothing wrong to his African look, face & health.
"I'm getting on stage and I'm sane. How dare you call
me a freak, liar & racist!? I love the children everywhere I go!"
"Children worship me and I'm paying attention to them. You parents don't care about your kids...you don't have all day with them... BOOOHOOOO, Bashir."
The bull all the haters come up with!
Why are the fans rapids but not the haters?
typo: rabids not rapids.
She doesn't need a spanking she needs someone to talk to and a therapist. It's not her fault shes like this. Plus shes still young. She shouldn't get beaten while shes already suffering. That inhumane. Yes it's ridiculous that she slits her wrist for that kind of reason but it is more to that like 21STCENT said.
I agreed with Chris Rock: "Ain't Jermaine the GREEEEZIEST MOTHER F***** YOU EVER SEEN? "I had to WIPE DOWN my TV set after he was on it!"

5 Earnings Stocks Poised to Pop
Cost Plus
One earnings short-squeeze candidate in the specialty retail complex is Cost Plus (CPWM), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. This company is a specialty retailer of casual home furnishings and entertaining products in the U.S. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Cost Plus to report revenue of $361.81 million on earnings of $1.50 per share.
If you're looking for a small-cap stock that recently hit a new 52-week high as we approach its earnings report, then make sure to take a hard look at shares of Cost Plus. This stock has been on a tear during the last six months, rising from its October low of $5.57 to its current price of just over $15 a share.The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Cost Plus is extremely rather high at 10.1%. That means that out of the 17.18 million shares in the tradable float, 1.94 million are sold short by the bears. This is a slow float and decent short interest situation, so any bullish earnings news could easily spark a huge short-squeeze for Cost Plus. >>8 Stocks Under $10 Moving Higher From a technical perspective, CPWM is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the past six months, with shares consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish price action. That uptrend has now pushed CPWM within range of triggering a big breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on CPWM, I would look for long-biased trades after it reports earnings if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $15.69 to $15.82 a share with strong volume. Look for volume that registers near or above its three-month average volume of 263,313 shares. If we get that action, look for CPWM to march quickly towards $20 a share or higher if the bulls gain full control of this stock post-earnings. I would avoid CPWM or look for short-biased trades if the stock fails to break out after earnings, and then drops below some near-term support at $14.55 a share with volume. Target a drop back towards some recent support levels at $12.50 to $12 a share if the bears whack this lower post-earnings. Follow @stockpickr

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Ford Explorer
By KBB.com Editors
Despite the recent downturn in SUV sales, a somewhat aging platform and less-than-stellar fuel economy, the 2009 Ford Explorer continues to populate Ford showrooms. Powerful owner loyalty, a reasonable size and the option of a potent V8 engine all contribute to the Explorer's appeal, and it makes a great choice for families looking to get away from a full-sized SUV, as well as for those who need the ground clearance and four-wheel-drive capability that only a body-on-frame SUV can provide. Although the Explorer has plenty of newer competition, both domestic and foreign, few offer the combination of an attractive price, three-row seating, a powerful V8 engine and the Explorer's 7,300-pound tow rating.
Whether you're drawn to the 2009 Ford Explorer for its truck-like towing and cargo-hauling capabilities or its minivan-like versatility, you'll find more of what you're looking for in the latest incarnation of this quintessential SUV.
Although the 2009 Ford Explorer succeeds in being both smoother and more responsive than any previous model, it still drives like a big, truck-based SUV when compared to a select few of its competitors, many of which deliver almost sedan-like ride and handling.
Trailer Sway Control is added to the Explorer's AdvanceTrac stability system. New optional features include the next-generation navigation system with SIRIUS Travel Link and a new XLT Sports Package.
Driving Impressions Thanks to a sturdy frame and recently revised suspension, the 2009 Ford Explorer is noticeably smoother and more stable out on the highway than past versions. It's also quieter, making...for easy conversation between occupants in separate rows. Moreover, the Explorer is more responsive around town and, when equipped with the V8 and six-speed automatic transmission, is the most powerful model yet, although we found the V6 had more than enough output to meet our daily-driver demands. While both ride and handling are improved all around, the balance remains very much in favor of comfort, with handling characteristics that fall short of more car-like competitors, such as the Nissan Pathfinder.
Power-Folding Third Row
Not only do the two rear rows fold almost perfectly flat, but the third row is available with a power folding option that makes it easy to transform the Explorer from people-mover to cargo-hauler and back at the push of a button.
Interior Peace and Quiet
Considering its vast interior volume and all the opportunities that exist for outside noise to creep inside, the 2009 Ford Explorer is impressively, refreshingly quiet.
The 2009 Explorer's interior sports traditional Ford angular styling along with a few new interior options. Front-row seats feature extended seat tracks to better accommodate a wider range of occupant heights, while the second row is available in three seating configurations and the third row offers a power folding feature. In addition, both rear rows of seats now fold almost completely flat (just two degrees from horizontal), so cargo is more likely to stay in place. The only functional sore spot we noted was the awkward placement of the front inside door handles.Exterior
The 2009 Ford Explorer remains a very obvious descendant of the first Explorer that materialized some 17 years ago and revolutionized the industry. The biggest and most obvious change is up front, with two grilles – each assigned to a particular trim level – inspired by Ford's F-150 pickup. Distinguishing this generation from the last is probably most difficult from the side, but look closely and you'll find thicker roof rails, larger and more distinct wheels and bigger side mirrors. Around back, large taillights and a big nine-inch blue Ford oval further differentiate the new model from previous Explorers.
Standard equipment on a base-level Explorer XLT includes a 4.0-liter V6, five-speed automatic transmission, two-wheel drive, power windows, locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry, AM/FM stereo with MP3-compatible CD player, air conditioning, cruise control, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control with RSC (Roll Stability Control), 16-inch painted aluminum wheels, cloth bucket seats with driver-side manual lumbar support, tire pressure monitoring system, digital compass, outside temperature indicator and front, side-impact and two-row side-curtain airbags.
Trim-level, package and stand-alone options include a 4.6-liter V8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, third-row seat, leather seats, woodgrain interior accents, voice-activated navigation system, DVD rear-seat entertainment system, premium sound system with six-disc in-dash CD/MP3 player, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, dual-zone automatic climate control, auxiliary rear climate control, reverse sensing system, glass sunroof, six- or 10-way power driver's seat, six-way power passenger's seat, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, adjustable pedals, driver-position memory, power-folding third-row seat, automatic headlamps, fog lamps, electrochromic rearview mirror, entry keypad, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, trip computer and 17-, 18- and 20-inch wheels.
The 4.0-liter V6 engine delivers decent mileage and, according to Ford, produces fewer emissions than the previous-generation V6 Explorers. The 24-valve V8 delivers a marked increase in horsepower, along with increases in maximum towing and payload capacities, to 7,300 and 1,520 pounds, respectively.
4.0-liter V6
210 horsepower @ 5100 rpm
254 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3700 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/20 (2WD), 13/19 (4WD)
4.6-liter V8
292 horsepower @ 5750 rpm
315 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/21 (2WD), 14/19 (4WD)

"Ford began making this vehicle different and it is a very expensive car to maintain. They put a belt on the front of the motor and the belt on the back of the motor so to do any head work you have to remove the entire engine! I have put 4 new tires on this car this year, new brakes, had to rebuild the transmission at 120,000 miles, and now I need a new radiator and head work which is going to cost $3500! I would recommend "exploring" other options before purchasing this vehicle. Do not buy any 5.4L fords!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 66,600overall rating 8 of 10rating details
Pros: "Navigation, Bluetooth, sheer size of the thing"
Cons: "Gas mileage, heavy steering"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"I have owned my Explorer for 4 1/2 years, bought new in March 2010 for $42k. I traded up to my Explorer Limited from a 2003 Explorer XLT, for which we traded in a '97 Explorer Eddie Bauer. Clearly, we are faithful to this wonderful car. Pros: As a mother of two teenage athletes, the Explorer's capabilities have never failed to impress me. The power-folding 3rd row seat is an awesome feature and definitely one of my favorite features. My top two favorites are the Bluetooth and Navigation systems. The Bluetooth allows me to talk on the phone, and the GPS helps me get to unknown destinations or sporting events, whatever the day calls for. When it comes time to carpool or drive kids to dinner for a birthday party, this car does the job perfectly. Cons: Fuel efficiency — more like fuel deficiency. I normally get 10-13MPG in my V6 4WD model. I definitely regret not getting the V8, which I've heard is much smoother and has a much better transmission. The lack of power liftgate or backup camera is also a big downside to me. My last complaint would have to be the heavy steering. I had a hand injury 2 years ago, which has made low speed maneuvers in this car a little more difficult. Otherwise, this is a fantastic car! I have 8 months of payments left, which is when I will sadly have to trade this car in for something more fuel efficient."

"Not only is my white 2008 Ford Explorer a great looking vehicle, it comes with loads of extras. Running boards that fold out when a door is opened is most people's favorite option. I also love the remote start. I work on the 10th floor of my building and park below my window. I can start my car from there. By the time I get down it's cool in the summer or warm in the winter. I love that it's a V8 and a little sad that Ford stop making V8s after that. After 67k miles I am proud to say I never had an issue with the truck."

The Evolving Impact of the Ogallala Aquifer: Agricultural Adaptation to Groundwater and Climate
AbstractAgriculture on the American Great Plains has been constrained by historical water scarcity. After World War II, technological improvements made groundwater from the Ogallala aquifer available for irrigation. Comparing counties over the Ogallala with nearby similar counties, groundwater access increased irrigation intensity and initially reduced the impact of droughts. Over time, land-use adjusted toward water-intensive crops and drought-sensitivity increased; conversely, farmers in water-scarce counties maintained drought-resistant practices that fully mitigated higher drought-sensitivity. Land values capitalized the Ogallala's value at $26 billion in 1974; as extraction remained high and water levels declined, the Ogallala's value fell to $9 billion in 2002.
