Oh give me a home, where the buffalo ... run like happy dogs down a road near Yellowstone National Park, triggering Internet rumors that the bison were terrified and on the move because they sensed a volcano was about to erupt or an earthquake was about to rock their world or – who knows -- maybe the end times were upon us.
Good news, concerned citizens and ungulate lovers: That was trumped-up bull, so to speak.
Sure, it was derived from actual video shot near Yellowstone.
But Louis Sahagun interviewed Leo Leckie for the Los Angeles Times. Leckie, a sales associate of the nonprofit Yellowstone Association, shot the 1-minute, 9-second video. He originally posted it March 14 on his Facebook page, titling it "Yellowstone bison on the run for the joy of Spring."
Then, like a flu epidemic, it went viral and instead of a volcano, nonsense erupted.
Leckie told the LA Times: "Those bison were running for the sake of running. There was nothing chasing them. There was no mudslide. They were just running."
Two weeks later, an earthquake swarm hit the Yellowstone area.
"That's when things really exploded," he told the Times. "Eruptionists and conspiracists pirated the video and misrepresented it, suggesting that it was shot after the earthquakes. Then news agency after news agency started picking up on it, without looking at the original video to see what my actual intent was.
"My little video," he said, "went from 20 hits to more than 90,000 hits."
Check out some of the sites that drove that traffic.
A FOX News story was headlined "Bison Exodus: Stampede Sparks Fears of Yellowstone Eruption."
Something called disclose.tv, which bills its content as "truth revealed," called its piece "Yellowstone bison running for their lives, big eruption next?"
Beforeitsnews.com offered: Animals leaving Yellowstone? What do they know that we don't? Earthquakes and seismic activity.
As the saying goes, keep calm and carry on.

Editor's Column: The Super Bowl, Olympics-style
Many people cant get enthused about this years Olympics. Maybe around here its because we all watched the Super Bowl which was understandable and exciting, though the outcome was disappointing. Its hard not to wonder what the Super Bowl would have been like had it been broadcast like the Olympics. Our imaginary announcer can give us a few hints.
Welcome sports fans to Super Bowl XL. Hopefully most of you walked around all day with blinders over your eyes and plugs in your ears, because the game actually ended 16 hours ago! Were showing it late at night because we feel we can make more money that way. Good for you if you havent already heard the score.
Yes fans, well be bringing you all the highlights of the Super Bowl, from opening kickoff to the glory of victory, but not necessarily in that order. Well show you what we want, when we want! We didnt bid $5 billion for this game to give the viewers what they want.
OK, its time for the kickoff. But first, a brief featurette on the kicker, whose life changed at the age of 10 when his puppy met an untimely demise. The crate the puppy was in fell out of an Alaska Airlines flight at 20,000 feet. Someone apparently forgot to shut the cargo door. All the little boy could find was spots of Spot scattered over the countryside. How he overcame this trauma to become an NFL kicker rather than an intravenous drug user will bring tears to the eyes of those females 18 to 49, which is the marketing demographic this featurette is aimed at.
OK sports fans, that was indeed an inspirational 45-minute featurette. Now that we know the kicker has dedicated this game to his late dog Spot, we can show you that on the opening kickoff, he was swarmed by all 11 of the opposing players. The kicker now knows how Spot felt when he hit the ground, and hes out of the game forever.
Meanwhile, the featurette and accompanying commercials made us miss the entire first half of football, but here are the finest offensive and defensive plays, with the film magically layered so you can see it all at once, in 30-seconds flat, so we can go to commercial, which is the entire idea of this Super Bowl.
Welcome back, fans! We now find ourselves in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, showing it to you as it actually happened only hours ago. Heres a replay of a wide receiver making a spectacular catch in the end zone. Wed like to scream six points! but truth be told, we have no idea how this game is scored. The judges decide the merit of all the plays, based on technical difficulty and how much moola they are offered by the various countries, so well just have to wait and see who wins Super Bowl XL. Well bring you the final scores after another dozen commercials.
The results are in fans, and the Pittsburg Steelers have won, even though we all know the Seattle Seahawks played a better game! Everyone in the stadium is shocked except the judges, who are looking inside their wallets and smiling.
And thats it for the 2006 Super Bowl, except for the four-hour closing ceremonies which we will show you from beginning to end, with a featurette on the agony of defeat for the Seahawks who are facing a dismal off-season in luxurious vacation resorts. Until next time, this is NBC Sports saying thanks for trying to watch.

FLINT, MI – Kettering University students and community members are gearing up to make an impact in Flint one project at a time.
On Nov. 16 Kettering students kicked off the Flint Brush Up project to beautify projects along University Avenue. Now the students, along with community members and members of the University Avenue Corridor Coalition, are in the planning stages of preparing 20 more projects to be completed.
"(The purpose of the project is) for helping Flint. Kettering is so secluded. It's a great safe place, where the rest of Flint isn't and we want to broaden that. We want to connect downtown to Kettering through University Avenue," said Eric Griffith, philanthropy chairman for Beta Theta Pi, which is heading up the project. "It will brighten it up. There are a few businesses there. We're hoping to encourage people to be out more and take pride in their community."
Through sidewalk cleanup, brush cleanup, paint touch ups and tree trimming, among other things there's a hope that by making the area look nicer there will also be a reduction in crime, said Griffith, a mechanical engineering junior at Kettering.
Project organizers have compiled a list of 25 projects, which will be shorted to 20 before the start date of March 11. The name of the project was also revamped to Flint Brush Up-ReNew the Avenue.
With the roughly 40 to 45 Beta Theta Pi members, members from other fraternities and other community members there will be a total of about 300 to 400 people involved in the cleanup, Griffith said.
"There's a lot to be done. But I'm very optimistic we're going to get things done. It's going to be great," said Jack Stock, director of external relations for Kettering and member of the University Avenue Corridor Coalition. "I'm terribly excited for this."
The goal is to start work on projects March 11, continuing work in April and completing everything by May 10. The Flint Brush Up project will also coordinate with the nationwide Paint What Matters initiative that will focus on commercial properties.
On July 8, the Benjamin Moore Main Street Revitalization program selected Flint to be one of 20 cities in North America to receive supplies, consulting and paint for structures on two to three blocks.
Griffith said he hopes to see the Flint Brush Up project expand in future years and truly make a difference for the entire city, not just University Avenue.
This initiative isn't alone.
Kettering University became a crusader for Flint as it bought up more than 100 blighted and abandoned properties last year in an effort to help Flint come back alive.
The community also rallied together to help Carriage Township Truck and Auto Repair owners avoid becoming just another blighted, forgotten business.
James and Sharon Owensby have lived in the Mott Park neighborhood for about 14 years and said it's good to see Kettering and other volunteer groups stepping up to clean up the area.
"I think it's wonderful when the community can come together," said Sharon Owensby. "We are here together. It takes everyone to bring people together. ... Every little bit helps."
Kettering volunteers have helped keep the Mott golf course clean in the past, as well, she said.
A facelift and beautification projects are great for the area and local residents take notice, Sharon Owensby said. But there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.
James Owensby said more needs to be done to help improve infrastructure, repair the roads and curbs and make it appealing for people to move in. And outside of volunteering, there needs to be a way to bring contractors in to help create more jobs, he said.
They would like to see the golf course come back to full life. But the projects are a good start, Sharon Owensby said.
Coming to Kettering from California all Griffith heard about Flint was that it was dangerous. He wasn't aware of how downtown area had progressed or the positive efforts going on in the city.
"I didn't realize how much was going on behind the scenes to make it better. There really are a lot of people out there working to better Flint," he said.
Flint Brush Up organizers are still looking for groups to adopt a project. Adoption of a project would mean offering the manpower and the time to complete the project.
Where donations of tools are funds are accepted, the project organizers have a good supply of tools and paint has been donated. Also a Kettering alumnus donated $10,000 to help with supplies and equipment for the projects.
Those interested in adopting a project can contact Griffith at 209-840-3999 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Stock can also be contacted at 810-762-7873 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are the 25 projects up for consideration:

To the Editor:
Is a bailout for health insurers of Obamacare coming? Yes, it's a fact that the Democrats put specific wording into the over 20,000 pages of the ACA (Obamacare) for insurance companies to receive billions of taxpayer dollars for any and all shortfalls they incur. Just another lie from Obama who declared the ACA would be "net neutral," meaning no new taxpayer dollars would be used to pay the health insurance companies in the ACA. Of course, unless you're uninformed, it's obvious that this whole program was set up to take our healthcare system into a "single payer" program.
In other words it's only a matter of time before our healthcare will be run completely by the government. Those of you who aren't afraid of this or are looking forward to this I give you the VA (Veterans Affairs) healthcare program as a model for our healthcare future. It has been a poorly administered government run healthcare program for decades and since Obama's presidency the VA healthcare program is now a scandalous disaster.
Why hasn't Obama used his "phone and his pen" to issue an executive order to help our veterans? As for another lie, Obama said "the Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) would pay for itself."
LOL! The ACA is projected to cost the American taxpayers, mostly the middle class, over $2 trillion within the next 10 years. You may remember Obama said in many, many campaign speeches that Obamacare would not add one dime of new taxes to the middle class taxpayer, just one more of the over 30 documented lies credited to Obama so far.
The GM bailout with our taxes, General Motors (or Government Motors) after declaring bankruptcy and after receiving billions of dollars from a taxpayer bailout has recalled almost 14 million cars since that bailout. They were fined $35 million, so they'll use taxpayer money to pay the fine, wow bet that really hurt GM. Wall Street/banking government taxpayer bailouts because of mismanagement and after hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars spent, no one went to jail. Government offered billions of taxpayer dollars for loans to "green companies" like Solyndra, which lost hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and have gone out of business and those taxpayer dollars are lost.
This next one should make your blood boil; more than 300,000 IRS employees owe back taxes totaling $3.3 billion. Yes, the same IRS that targeted conservatives and will now be in charge of overseeing Obamacare. What a trustworthy government organization.
Why is our government picking winners and losers? What happened to the free market? Why is the capitalist economic system that built this country and made it the greatest country in the world now viewed by many in the media as a bad thing? Remember, our country was built on the concept of equal opportunity, not equal outcome.

Menu selections like whole red snapper, Beijing duck, and Thai curry chicken and shrimp offer Asian cuisine lovers a little of everything. But the eatery, part of an Arizona-based chain, also offers Americanized dishes like sweet and sour chicken.
"It's really a menu for everyone," said Steve McDiarmid, general manager and kitchen manager. "Everything is made to order. We can modify any dish, and we can make almost any dish vegetarian."
With its wide range of vegetables and variations in sauces that can be altered on request, The Bamboo Club is an attractive option for those with dietary restrictions and those who simply want a healthy meal, McDiarmid said.
What's more, it can be a quick dining experience and often is for business diners in a hurry or those with tickets to the nearby theater, he said.
The Bamboo Club
•General manager/kitchen manager: Steve McDiarmid.
•Food style: Pacific Rim.
•Wine list: A variety, primarily American, with about a dozen available by the glass.
•Ambience: Sophisticated yet relaxed, with bamboo decor throughout and an intimate feel. Seems smaller than seating capacity would indicate.
•Hours: Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11:30 a.m.-midnight.
•Parking: In lot.
•Seats: 230.
•Cost: Average is $25 per person.
•On the crowd: Lots of business lunches, a fun business crowd 5-7 p.m., and friends and family later in the evening.
•Specialty: The whole red snapper, for those seeking traditional Asian dishes, or the Hong Kong New York strip.
•What's good right now: Anything from the Chinese New Year menu, including the lucky Chinese New Year noodles in a yellow curry sauce.
•Most popular dishes: Mandarin orange chicken.
•Recommended dessert: Macadamia nut cookie, three pan-baked cookies topped with ice cream and caramel.
•Business facilities/equipment: Areas can be configured for groups.
"We were first, and P.F. Chang's was next," McDiarmid said. "They actually borrowed from our menu," he said.
What's the difference between the two Asian restaurants? "They're always in a hurry," he said. "We're just not that. We're much more laid back, from our music to our menu and our atmosphere."
The menu's diversity and big portions promote family-style dining - a style Bamboo Club guests usually don't embrace until their second visit, McDiarmid said. Then people usually order at least a couple of dishes to share with some "accompaniments," like the woked asparagus or fried rice selections.
The Bamboo Club offers a daily "Happiness Hour" 4-7 p.m. and 10 p.m. to close, when select appetizers are $3, and select cocktails are $5 and under.

Patrick Carney: Seven Steps To Simplicity
3. Use Your Muse
Another epiphany for Carney was when he first viewed a concert film of Black Sabbath playing the Olympia Theater in Paris in 1970 and watching Bill Ward work his magic on that 4-piece Ludwig. "If somebody could've shown me that when I was 15, I would've thought a lot differently about the drums," he says. "I would've given up on the guitar a lot sooner. [laughs] You see certain people play and I think it puts the drums in a whole different light. It isn't about keeping time and it isn't about just being there for necessity. It's part of the band. It can be a lead instrument."
The Keys' onstage dynamic — a musical interlocking of horns — is a dirty-funk telepathy. So it's surprising to learn that despite the duo sharing a few favorite bands, Auerbach didn't know Led Zeppelin or any of the British blues that Carney had dug since his teens. Both dudes' listening habits have broadened in their years as a band and that is reflected in the music. Take the El Camino track "Sister" which has a driving beat so clean and wide you could drive a truck through it. "Every time I hear it I think of 'Billie Jean,'" he says. The beat Ndugu Chancler supplied on Michael Jackson's massive hit will always be cool, but Carney admits that even "Eye Of The Tiger" by one-hit-wonder Survivor was a kind of inspiration. "My favorite thing lately is, like, kind of rock revivalism in the '70s, which was basically what glam-rock was," he continues, naming T. Rex, The Stooges, and Bowie. "That's basically '50s rock with a much more prominent beat."
Buddy Holly glasses and Ludwig reissue kit notwithstanding, Carney's approach is not about being retro. It's about cherry-picking from the best grooves of the last 60 years and discarding the rest. "Like prog and metal drummers," he says. "I don't listen to any of that music. I don't care about how fast anyone can hit a kick drum or any of that crap. In my mind there are one or two drummers that are absolutely amazing and it's, like, Bill Ward and John Bonham. After that there's no point to try to be the best, because the best has already been done. It's just a matter of trying to be as interesting as you can without getting in the way of the song."
4. Let The Music Be Your Guide
Just when you thought the bare-bones Carney couldn't get any barer, he has stripped down his approach to near-naked levels these days. His seat-of-the-pants, rough-hewn, sloppily coloring-outside-the-lines style was a work-in-progress that climaxed in 2010. "Brothers was me being able to unload whatever I wanted to on the record, always kind of going for a minimal-but-also-funky, I guess, type of style. Something that felt loose but tight. And this new record, it was the complete opposite. It's much more straight up and down.
"In a lot of ways, I think that this record has some of the most simplistic beats we've ever used. So it was like a challenge for me to play as simply as possible but to try to make it interesting. And make it something that's enjoyable as a drummer. Because, you know, lots of drummers want to really play whenever they get a chance."
Now that he made the decision to play straighter and cleaner than on previous records, his natural pace and sense of swing didn't jibe with the new songs in their early stages. As a matter of fact, on El Camino's demos, the drums sounded like they were played in half time, so Carney had to subdivide and play faster to accommodate the new vibe. "My natural tempo, like, when I want to record drums, it'll lie between 85 beats per minute and 110, you know? But usually 92 is kind of where I like to play. And most of [El Camino's] stuff is around 125–130. We wanted it to be faster paced. You know, more of a rock album. Something less moody. On Brothers I think there's a lot of that kind of slow dramatic kind of stuff. But [El Camino] we wanted it to move right along and be the kind of record that you can put on at a party."
5. Don't Let The Drums Play You
When The Black Keys first started, Carney was just using a hi-hat, snare, kick, and a crash. In 2002 he finally added a floor tom while recording debut The Big Come Up. On that album there were two cover songs — blues standard "Leavin' Trunk" and Junior Kimbrough's "Do The Rump" — that he wanted to approach using the floor tom like hats. Problem was, using his right hand on the floor tom open-handed didn't feel right. "Trying to do eighth-notes and different patterns was really difficult, so I moved it on the other side," he explains. "Then it felt more like a hi-hat than a floor tom."
After a couple of months of playing that way, the left hand effectively became the floor-tom hand and the catalyst for enticing beat novelty. "It's a completely different feel because my right hand is more connected to my right foot I guess, so if played the [left] floor with my right hand it will be more on top of the beat."
This way of thinking about drums and switching hands can really mix up the feels. On "Howlin' For You" he crosses over with his right hand to play the left floor tom like a hi-hat. On "No Trust" from Thickfreakness, however, he's open-handed, so that the pulse is more or less eighth-notes divided between the left hand on the left floor and the right hand whacking the snare hoop (but the snare proper on the 2). "It's more off," he says. "More along with the snare than it is with the kick, so it's a weirder pattern."
The larger point is that too few drums have never been an obstacle to tasty beats. Matter of fact, Carney didn't start using a mounted tom until 2004, after the Keys put out their third record Rubber Factory. It's been an excess of drums ever since. "About four years ago I bought one of the Ludwig 'Bonham' reissue kits, so I had two floor toms, so I just put the 18" on my right-hand side just because I had it. I actually use it very, very little. I only play it on three or four songs, and just for brief moments."
Note that stylistic evolution is possible despite — pffft, because of — having less drums and cymbals in one's face. Don't be surprised if in the future Carney pares down the setup even more. "There's almost no rack tom on the whole record [El Camino]. The only song I think I really used the rack on is a couple fills on 'Dead And Gone' and 'Little Black Submarine,' and maybe 'Mind Eraser.' But for the most part I'm only really using hi-hat, kick, snare, crash, and floor tom."


text: Amidst speculation in the motion control community, Heidenhain Corp., the German-based encoder company, confirms that it is closing in on a U.S. launch date for a new line of products featuring an all-digital, bi-directional serial interface. "By 2005, there should be several products available, starting with a linear scale in mid-2004, followed by angle and rotary encoders," says Product Manager Tom Wyatt. The high-speed serial interface, known as EnDat 2.2, follows EnDat 2.1, which was introduced 8 years ago. The availability of a purely digital encoder interface has enormous implications for motion control engineers, who will be able to take advantage of clock frequencies of up to 4 MHz over cable lengths up to 100m. Further, position encoders with this type of interface will be able to transmit data, including position data and other parameters, in either direction. "We wanted to give engineers the luxury of having absolute feedback without having to sacrifice speed," Wyatt explains. He says that the products will be backward compatible with the existing 2.1 technology, and that the company plans to offer the EnDat 2.2 for the same price as EnDat 2.1.

Orioles vs. Tigers
After taking three of four from the Nationals in the Battle of the Beltway, the Orioles will host the Detroit Tigers for a three-game set featuring two of the American League's best offenses.
*Backup catcher Taylor Teagarden (dislocated left thumb) will catch tonight in an extended spring training game. He may join one of the team's Minor League affiliates on rehab assignment if all goes well.
*Reliever Pedro Strop (strained lower back) could throw a simulated game soon and then get at least one outing with a minor league affiliate before being reactivated from the 15-day disabled list.
*Manager Buck Showalter said he got good reports on Zach Britton's start last night at Triple-A Norfolk. Britton threw 5 innings and struck out 5 batters with two walks in a losing effort.
*Tsuyoshi Wada is scheduled to make another rehab start tonight for Triple-A Norfolk. Showalter said yesterday he still views Wada as a starter, but wouldn't commit to the role. Once healthy, his arm could be a worthwhile addition to the bullpen.
*Just a reminder on your weekend pitching matchups for this weekend versus Detroit: Miguel Gonzalez vs. Max Scherzer, Jason Hammel vs. Justin Verlander (FOX game) and Kevin Gausman vs. Rick Porcello.
And here are the lineups for Friday night's game:
Omar Infante 2B
Andy Dirks LF
Miguel Cabrera 3B
Prince Fielder 1B
Victor Martinez DH
Jhonny Peralta SS
Alex Avila C
Avisail Garcia CF
Don Kelly RF
Max Scherzer RHP
Nate McLouth LF
Manny Machado 3B
Nick Markakis RF
Adam Jones CF
Chris Davis 1B
Matt Wieters C
J.J. Hardy SS
Chris Dickerson DH
Ryan Flaherty 2B
Miguel Gonzalez RHP

New bulletin focuses on small-acreage crops
Specialty Crops in North Carolina, a new technical bulletin released by the N.C. Agricultural Research Service, documents production statewide and by county for 153 small-acreage crops grown in North Carolina. The bulletin is available online from the Department of Horticultural Science at N.C. State University: www.cals.ncsu.edu/hort_sci/extension/tb-327.pdf
This overview of North Carolina's specialty crops includes data on 93 vegetables, 14 fruits and nuts, 36 culinary herbs, and 10 miscellaneous crops. Crop maps depict each crop's distribution in North Carolina, and county tables list the crops grown in each of the state's 100 counties by acreage and crop type.
Prepared by Roger Batts, field research director at N.C. State's IR-4 Research Center, Specialty Crops in North Carolina summarizes data collected in a 2007 survey of Cooperative Extension agents developed by Batts and eight specialists in the Department of Horticulture. Survey responses from 70 counties were supplemented with data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Field Service Agency in Raleigh.
The bulletin includes a copy of the survey used to collect the data, along with a summary of the IR-4 pesticide registration procedure for minor crops.
Crops defined as "minor crops" by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency include food and ornamental crops that involve small acreage yet account for more than $43 billion in annual production nationwide.

The Winona Winhawks feature one of the most versatile players in our area in senior Vincent Pahm.
As a freshman he was a starting offensive guard. Pahm then moved to running back as a sophomore. He played fullback this last season. He's now back at running back for his senior season.
"A lot of determination and hard work just all put together," said Pahm. "And a lot of heart just built up throughout the years. I'm ready to give it my all with all the experience I'm ready to show everyone what I can do."
Pahm receives high praise from his head coach John Cassellius.
"It's great that he has some versatility, that he'll play fullback or tailback. He'll do whatever we ask him to do. And any time you have a kid willing to sacrifice stuff for the team, you're going to be better."

PAVILION TOWNSHIP, MI -- Deputies are seeking charges against a Kalamazoo-area resident after they found a methamphetamine lab at a home in Pavilion Township Monday.
Kalamazoo County Sheriff's deputies responded to the report of a possible meth lab in the 5300 block of Pavilion Drive at about 1 a.m. After obtaining a search warrant, police found remnants of a one-pot meth lab and suspected methamphetamine inside the home.
The suspect fled before officers arrived. A K-9 unit tracked the suspect but was unable to find him.
Deputies were assisted by officers from Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety, Portage Department of Public Safety and Kalamazoo Township Police Department.

An 18-year-old autistic man with an obsession for forensic science is accused of murdering his behavioral therapist. The man, Jacob Hunt, has a high-functioning type of autism called Asperger's syndrome, and also evinces more typical autistic quirks, such as grasping every utterance only in its most literal meaning. As his brother poignantly observes, to have Jacob's brain is like being "the world's fastest bullet train, but your wheels don't fit the tracks."
The novel chugs off, laden with plot possibilities. Narration pings between Jacob; his long-suffering, often-overlooked younger brother, Theo; their too-good-to-be-true divorced mom, Emma; a remarkably uncurious detective named Rich; and Oliver, a cougar-crazy defense lawyer.
Unfortunately, the narration too often mimics the preachy, instructional chats common to after-school-specials about the diagnosis du jour. The murder mystery seems rickety, improvised and slap-dash, and the adult characters implausible.
Are we really to believe that neither the police nor the suspect's own loving mother would bother to solicit details from a murder suspect as to how he killed a victim? When was the last time a private practice attorney waived payment from a major client? How many struggling single moms with jobs that permit them to work from home quit in a huff — with no Plan B — at the first hint of discord with their boss?
Picoult could have thoughtfully plumbed the incomprehensible hurdles faced by the disabled when they are forced to navigate the criminal justice system. Instead, the story gets incredulously co-opted by the subplot of Emma's romantic life. First, we wonder if the irresistible Emma will wind up with the admiring detective or besotted lawyer. Then, there is some Harlequin-like drum-rolling until she and her chosen inamorato do the deed.
Lamentably, the drama of a special needs man is left behind at the depot.

Social media hasn't been around long enough for pundits to determine how accurately it reflects the mood of a nation, but Democrats grasping for positive news might take hope from a shift in the tone on Twitter.
Tales from the Trail
Twitter opinion analysis shows change in sentiment following 'Tea Party Tuesday'
Our analysis of political opinions expressed by Twitter users shows that the 'enthusiasm gap' that previously favored the GOP over the Democratic Party seems to have evened out recently.
Twitter opinion analysis shows midterm 'enthusiasm gap'
In order to gauge the mood of voters as the midterms approach, Reuters has joined with market research company Crimson Hexagon to conduct a detailed assessment of the political mood as expressed by Twitter users. As a first step in this process we're taking a look at the feeling expressed by Twitter users toward the Democratic and Republican parties in general.


text: I'm so tired of public persons "begging forgiveness". We all are familiar with the saying: "It's sometimes better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission." And we all know that this means that you are aware it is wrong and just hope to not get caught. Apologizing in these instances is simply "I'm sorry I got caught." Phooey on that.

Police were called to an apartment building on Fourth Street near Grand Street yesterday at 4:55 a.m., on the report of a dispute. They met a 47-year-old New York cab driver who said he had been assaulted by a passenger, reports said.
The taxi driver filed simple assault and theft of service charges
against the 30-year-old Stamford, Conn. woman.
The cabbie -- who was bleeding from cuts to his swollen forehead -- said he had picked the woman up at 39th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan.
But when he arrived at the destination on Fourth Street, the woman got angry about paying a $52 that had been negotiated earlier and threw a $20 bill on the front passenger seat before leaving the cab – leaving a blond hair extension and gold bracelet on the rear passenger seat – reports said.
As the woman rang a bell at the apartment entrance, the driver approached her to demand the money.
But she refused to pay and pushed him with both hands down the six-stair stoop, reports said. At least two neighbors who heard the driver's cries for help came to his help, reports said.
The driver was treated at the location by the Hoboken Voluntary Ambulance Corps for bleeding and swelling to his forehead, and a cut to his left knee, reports said.
The woman told police she was visiting a family member, and admitted having a dispute over the fare but said she paid $40 and denied assaulting the driver.

NORTHAMPTON — With songs and prayers, a gathering of local healers both spiritual and physical dedicated a new chapel at Cooley Dickinson Hospital on Thursday.
The Gugger Family Memorial Chapel was conceived as a place where patients, their family and staff can go for quiet contemplation in times of need. It replaces a chapel that was located a floor above it in a hard-to-find part of the hospital. The new chapel sits at ground level outside Cooley Dickinson's healing garden, a quite, landscaped space.
The chapel project was spearheaded by Dr. Brock Lynch, a retired cancer surgeon who worked at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and made the major donation for the creation of the chapel. It is named after his late brother-in-law, Vincent Daniel Gugger, who died in 2009. Gugger's wife Barbara, who is also Lynch's sister, was at the ceremony along with six of the couple's seven children.
The centerpiece of the chapel is a 1,400-pound slab of Goshen stone donated by the Goshen Stone Company. According to hospital officials, the gray, brown and blue piece of rock is more than 480 million years old.
Chaplain Becky Jones, who spoke at the dedication, said the stone was chosen in lieu of a religious icon in the hope that it will speak to people of all religious persuasions.
"We wanted the chapel to be a place that would be welcoming to people of all faiths and of no faith," she said.
Jewish, Islamic and Catholic leaders joined Jones in blessing the chapel. The Rev. Andrea Ayvazian of the Haydenville Congregational Church told the crowd of about 50 that she hopes it will be "a sanctuary for those seeking safety, quiet and rest."
Lynch, who is a tenor in the Young@Heart Chorus, spoke briefly about his brother-in-law, who served on a submarine during World War II. Gugger's wife said her husband was loving, kind and gentle.

At the SPCA, we enjoy taking the time to talk to new owners of our adoption animals about providing their pets with appropriate medical care.
A major part of your pet's annual care is a physical examination with your family veterinarian.
A good relationship between you, your pet and your vet is crucial.
There is no substitute for the knowledge, experience and insight a veterinarian can provide for the care of your pet.
Aiken has several wonderful veterinarians to choose from, so when a client comes into the SPCA for its regular vaccinations, we provide a list of those in our area and strongly encourage owners that do not already have one to call and schedule an appointment for their animal.
Education is important us. Oftentimes a client will come to the SPCA for the required yearly rabies vaccine and leave with information about heartworm testing, the importance of a microchip and an appointment to have their animal spayed or neutered.
People are often surprised to find out that their new puppy or kitten needs a series of vaccines while young to provide proper immunity, or that heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and a monthly prevention should be given to keep pets safe and healthy.
A common misconception we hear regularly about cats is "I don't need my cat tested for FIV/feline leukemia because he/she is vaccinated and would be sick if they had it."
We do vaccinate for feline leukemia, but not for FIV and both of these infectious diseases can be dormant for years in your cat before symptoms surface.
Testing your cat for FIV and leukemia is important to your cat's health as well as the cats that she comes into contact with.
We have found that if we take the time to explain why a pet needs a particular vaccine or test and how those products can keep their pet healthy and safe, we are met with a positive response from the owner.
In keeping with the SPCA's commitment to animal welfare and health through affordable and accessible services, we offer vaccinations, heartworm and FIV testing to the public Tuesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
We offer all recommended annual vaccines and testing, microchips, nail trims and prevention products.
An appointment is not necessary and services are available to all income levels.
It doesn't take long, and while you are waiting for your pet to be vaccinated, you can enjoy the beautiful new adoption center and possibly find another new friend anxiously waiting to be adopted into your family.
VACCINATIONS AND TESTING: No appointment necessary Tuesday – Friday 11-3.
SPAY AND NEUTER CLINIC: Call 648-6863 for an appointment. Ask about all our Low Cost programs. Affordable for every income level.

Each term African and African American Studies sponsors the Angelina Weld Grimké lecture series and at least one additional event or lecture.
Angelina Weld Grimké (February 27, 1880 – June 10, 1958) was the first African American female student to attend the Carleton Academy, a preparatory school that was a part of the college campus from 1866 to 1906. She went on to be an American journalist, teacher, playwright and poet who came to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance; she was one of the first African-American women to have a play publicly performed. A list of previous Grimke Lectures can be found here.
SOARS performance in the Great Hall

Story of a Rape Survivor (SOARS) is a performance about one woman's journey to reclaim her body, sexuality, spirituality, and self esteem after being sexual assaulted in college. Performed by a diverse cast of women and featuring photographs taken by her sister during the recovery process, SOARS uses modern dance, spoken-word, and music to educate the public about sexual violence and to ease the shame, guilt, and self-blame that rape victims too often feel with a story of hope and healing

A jet stream disturbance is responsible for clouds today but a low pressure system will move at us Saturday night. This will briefly bring some snow showers Saturday late afternoon, but during the evening and overnight, we'll mainly see rain showers. Some pockets of freezing rain are possible Saturday evening and early Sunday morning as the system pulls away. High pressure restores a dry day Monday before we track a stronger storm for Tuesday night and Wednesday. This one could bring accumulating snow before mixing here in western MA. We'll keep you updated on specifics as it nears.
We'll begin February with less arctic cold as the arctic jet stream shifts north. However, we're in for several rounds of precipitation with a storm track close to New England. Low pressure #2 arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday with plentiful moisture. This one will likely bring significant snow and rain. That mid-week rain/snow line will make for a challenging forecast.
We may have a 3rd storm next weekend. Right now that one looks colder with the potential for accumulating snow.
Today: Mostly cloudy and breezy. High near 34.
Tonight: Mostly cloudy. Lows near 24.
Saturday: Cloudy with light snow by evening. Snow changes to rain overnight. Steady or rising temperatures near 32.
Superbowl Sunday: Early shower or drizzle with partial clearing by evening. High 36.

I know Brian posted about this earlier. He even linked to the photo that showed President "Obamassiah" Obama bowing down in front of the Japanese Emporer Akihito. Emporer Akihito is the son of the former Emporer that surrendered to the Allied forces at the end of the Pacific Campaign of WW2.
But, I wanted to mention a few things about this sorry episode.
First, please take a read of this Los Angeles Times blog post by Andew Malcolm excoriating the president for his lack of class, grace, culture and couth (yeah, right, I know. Suprised? Me too!).
The blog post even shows the proper way to greet the Japanese Emporer by highlighting how Vice-President Cheney greeted him a few years ago. HotAirPundit also has composed some photos of other world leaders meeting with the Emporer.......... and not bowing.
Andrew even recalls how the MSM lambasted Pres Clinton when Clinton just appeared to give the Emporer a bow.
I would like to say that this is something that I expected. It is not surprising to me. Didn't "The One" tell us that he would do whatever it took to make the world love us? Even if that means doing something that no other American President has done in the history of the USSA. He is willingly and determinedly making the USSA subordinate to all other nations.
Remember, he is of the ilk that believes that our singlularity as a global superpower is unfair and unjust. It is that position that they reason the rest of the world hates us. They have long hyped that if we only subordinated and suppined ourselves to the heathens of the world, we would have a world of peace.
Hey Libs? How's that plan working out for you so far? Ft. Hood ring any bells? Taliban and Al-Queda ring any bells? Iran? N. Korea? Russia? Hamas? Hezballah?
This president knows what he is doing. He knows how this makes him look and he knows the reasons for his actions. He wants to appear this way. He wants to give the world the "bent over" look as a symbol of the American change.
I am not surprised by this nor is the rest of the world. They have been working for this moment since the fall of USSR.
Isn't the President currently seeking to destroy all of our nukes with a deal with USSR? Hasn't the Present-dent sought to downplay the dangers of Iran? Hasn't President "I don't know" sought to make peace deals with our current enemy in the War on Terror?
Hasn't this President sought to destroy this nation's values and economy? Hasn't he promised to destroy our energy supplies?
Therefore, I am not suprised when he plays President Suck-Up to the minor leaders of the world.
[Update:] Cranky may have the real reason behind the bow.

The unfinished obituary appeared on Der Spiegel's website for only a few minutes Sunday before it was spotted by Internet users and removed.
In it, the magazine's New York correspondent Marc Pitzke describes Bush as "a colorless politician" whose image only improved when it was compared to the later presidency of his son, George W. Bush.
Bush was hospitalized in Houston Nov. 23 for treatment of a bronchitis-related cough. He was moved to intensive care on Dec. 23 after he developed a fever.
A family spokesman says the 88-year-old former president was moved out of intensive care into a regular hospital room again Saturday after his condition improved.

ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY -- The Mets have been kind enough to gift the writers a bus to use so we can shuttle back and forth between the two ballparks. I think it's done to help out the Jersey-based writers (of which there are a ton), who don't have access to the Subway. Or writers like me, who live in Brooklyn, where a subway back home from Shea would take about three years.
This does seem like a bit of an extravagance. They've closed off most of the highway like there's a visiting head of state heading towards the United Nations. The last time I did something like this was when I covered the AFC Championship Game in Foxborough, Mass., last year. But a guided bus through the back woods of New England is a tad different than seeing walls of cars shoved aside the highway.
Anyway, almost there. We have a skeleton crew in place at Yankee Stadium. So there will be a few of us checking back in with news and notes.

Sky's the Limit
Tom "Sky" Skibosh covers the Wauwatosa, Brookfield and New Berlin prep scene for Community Newspapers. If something is going on in local sports, Sky has an opinion about it. If you agree or not with what Sky says, we want to see your comments.
Hold onto your hats, Whitefish Bay, the Trojans and Raiders are coming to town
Wednesday night members of the Wauwatosa East and West boys volleyball team probably had trouble sleeping. And it had nothing to do with the classes.
You see the Trojan and Raider boys volleyball teams will traveling to the Whitefish Bay Field House Thursday night to play a 7 p.m. WIAA Sectional Championship match. The winner goes to state next Friday and Saturday at the Wisconsin Lutheran College Fieldhouse.
Both teams finished second in their conference - East behind Marquette and West behind Shorewood. The Raiders are the No. 1 seed in the sectional and the fourth-ranked team in the state. The Trojans are the third-seeded team and they beat No. 2-seeded Shorewood to get to the finals.
That means that Alex Conway, Aaron Uden, Ryan Hoffland, Mitch Cadrette and Alex Debord for the Raiders and Alec Redlich, Mitch Lahmann, Ryan Cvecko, Scott Wenzel, Paul Gerhartz, Adam Mraz, Keith Brown, Jimmy Bonkowski and Joe Balcerzak for the Trojans could be playing their final match for the their schools.
Tosa West last went to state in 2006, while the Red Raiders have won three straight seasons.
I can't wait.

Innovative project financing for today's global leaders
• 100% LTV Worldwide Project Financing
Acceptable Funding Scenarios
Construction Financing
Beachfront Developments
Structured Financing
Structured Financing Firms exist due to innovations in structured finance. We are able to finance projects domestically and internationally by securing high quality collateral enhancement devices for our clients and then hypothecating the instrument, or monetizing it to fund your project.
The financial instruments described herein may include Cash Backed CD's (Certificate of Deposits), SBLCs (Standby Letter of Credits), and BGs (Bank Guarantees) all issued from the top 25 banks of the world as described by the Banker's Almanac. The secured Line of Credit that is used in our program can be created by most financial institutions that will accept a fully lien able, callable, assignable, transferable, encumberable financial instrument as collateral. Quite honestly, the sources for loans on the applicable financial instruments are many.
We utilize the value in these leased financial instruments to trigger our credit facilities to monetize these instruments and create the funds via debt or equity to be placed into projects in all areas of business. Our lender uses financial instruments that are available for acquisition from sources that are industry leaders and then fund the project using various Banks who use the Instrument as the primary source of collateral.
Our lender has an absolute and perfect knowledge of these financial instruments and uses pre-existing banking relationships to facilitate the funding on these instruments with absolutely no risk to the client.
Please fill out your contact information to receive more information within 2 business days.
Client, has a project requiring 10,000,000 USD.
Client has 1,000,000 USD available in capital in his corporate bank account.
Lending Program Steps
1. Application Completed -
The Submission Form is a simple 3-4 page form, dealing mainly with contact information and the details about your project. In addition you will need to provide your Executive Summary and Business Plan, Development Analysis, Performa, Resume's of all principals, evidence of funds, Marketing Plan and Exit Strategy.
2. Application Underwritten (2-3 days) –
Your complete submission package will be underwritten and an analysis will be made as to the feasibility of the project. You will be provided with a detailed Due Diligence report which outlines the questions and concerns of the lending department.
3. Conference Call (3 days) -
A conference call will be scheduled to review the due diligence report with the principals, Underwriting Staff, Attorney, and all principals on the project. Based on the findings in our conference call and a review of any additional information submitted, we will make a decision whether or not to offer financing to the project.
4. Intent to Fund Memorandum sent out (1-2 days) -
Applicants are approved based upon the strength of the project and the strength of the principals. Underwriting will carefully select its borrowers based on the experience of the principals, their financial strength, and their vision. It is also necessary for the principals to facilitate the equity contribution that will allow us to transact the funding of this project. This contribution will be made available for the lender to leverage a financial instrument and create the funds needed to finance your project. The lender is concerned with credit, financials, future values, income verification, and background checks however, conventional underwriting guidelines do not apply and all projects which contribute to the technological advancement of our civilization will be considered.
*The lender does not finance casinos, advertising projects, horror films, or oil and natural gas projects. We do place a priority on funding humanitarian projects, or projects that have to do will renewable energy or developments which are LEEDS certified.
5. Approval Executed and Wire is made to Escrow Attorney (3 days) -
Client will be allowed 3 days to review the terms of the Intent to Fund Memorandum, execute, and return it back to the lending department with the equity contribution. The Intent to Fund Memorandum will outline the process and describe the responsibilities that each party is held to. It also contracts the scope of the transaction as well as the end terms for the project. The Intent to Fund Memorandum also identifies and specifies the information that will be drawn up in the note.
All broker fees are out of the proceeds of the loan amount. The agreed upon amount of capital contribution that was placed with the lender and is fully refundable at the close of the transaction (initial 1M). Any costs that may be needed for legal preparation, document drafting, or facilitator service charges are covered in the lenders origination fee. These costs or fees are taken as a net of the capital contributed. Meaning that if our terms stipulate that $1,000,000 is needed for us to fund $10,000,000 then any costs or fees required do not affect the total amount funded.
Terms of the note are typically as follows:
Deposit – 15% of requested loan amount is needed if loan amount is under 10M. 10% if loan amount is over 10M
Pre-paid Interest – 12 Mo. Interest at 7.5% Paid Up front. No payments due for first year
Amortization – 30 Year fixed 6.00% - 7.75%; Interest Only Payments; 10 Year Balloon; No Pre-payment penalty.
6. Financial Instrument Secured (21 days) -
Our costs to use an instrument varies from 10%-15% of the face amount of the financial instrument. However, we can attain significant leverage depending on the premium. Therefore we can secure an instrument for your projects without the conventional underwriting you are accustomed to. All of the underwriting is done in-house by one of our underwriters and we make the final decisions whether to fund your project before any approvals are issued.
Per the instrument provider's procedures the instrument is issued and placed on Euroclear/DTC for viewing/blocking. Some providers will use 10% others will charge 15% of the face amount of the instrument to be secured for their costs relating to issuing. Once the instrument has been issued and (normally 10 days), the instrument is placed in with our credit facility to draw a line of credit.
7. Monetization (21 days) -
Our Credit Facility monetizes the financial instrument normally at about 90-100% LTV. The funds are placed into the lenders Account and then are transferred to the closing attorney for final disbursement. Borrower will receive a refund of the equity deposit out of the over funded amount disbursed by the credit facility.
8. Funds Disbursed for your Project -
The funds are disbursed to you for your project as per the Approval and the note. All funds not disbursed to you for your project directly, but are disbursed to our lending institution to mitigate project risk and attain profitability. The Instrument is taken out in the lenders name therefore making the borrower not liable retiring the instrument upon expiration. The lending department will retire the instrument after a year and one day, however may have the option to extend the Instrument for additional premium. This means that with the funds not disbursed to your project, roughly 60% of the monetized financial instrument, our lending department is able to introduce this capital to its trade platform for investment purposes. This is how we are able to remain profitable and offer such competitive terms to commercial ventures. Usually when a project is accepted for financing, a professional-quality Business Plan/Executive Summary is required and an official Submission Form signed by a person who has been officially authorized by you're your company's Board of Directors.
A) Is your Business Plan / Executive Summary complete? Is it at least 15 pages, preferably more? (60-100 is a good size for a full Business Plan, 15-20 is more suitable for an Executive Summary; always be thorough an complete!).
B) Did you include all financial projections, background information on your management team, cost estimates, descriptions of your product or project, time estimates for completion of construction, and any other relevant information for the Lender?
C) Did you provide official letters or documents to support your Security/Collateral? Evidence must prove that you have the Security or Collateral to guarantee the principal and the interest on the loan. If you have a standby letter/line of credit from a Top 25 bank equal to or greater than your loan request, that is the best of all; be sure to include all documentation that the guaranteeing bank will give you.
For Project Finance only – Your Submission Form must be complete, and signed by a person with legal authority to do so.
A) Did you state the exact amount you need?
B) Did you include your business plan, Perfoma, Resume's of Principles, Marketing Plan, Exit Strategy, & Evidence of Funds, signed by the head of your company, which authorizes you to sign legally binding documents on behalf of your company?
Borrowers who understand the importance of good documentation and good collateral, will almost always obtain good financing and excellent interest rates, no matter how large the loan is, and no matter what the purpose. It is essential that the borrower "think from the Lender's point of view." If you were a Lender, you would want to be absolutely sure that you would be repaid your money, even in the extremely rare or worst case of a disaster, bankruptcy, etc. by the borrower. Give the Lender maximum confidence and assurance that he will not lose his money by lending to you. He should feel comfortable with the lending of his money.
IN PRACTICE, ONLY ORIGINAL BOUND COPIES OF BUSINESS PLANS ARE ACCEPTED(No facsimiles or email copies are usually accepted in the market place)
Selection of the lenders depends on what kind of project you may have, the amount of money you are requesting and the risk factor associated with your venture.
This program is used in the financial market place for clients who are seeking to fund a construction project (domestic or foreign) and wish to immediately obtain funding without the arduous underwriting process dictated by conventional lending institutions.
Are you interested in a source of funds that offers the following:
- Minimal underwriting requirements,
- Interest rates of 2-3 points over the 6 month LIBOR during construction; 1-2 points over LIBOR for permanent financing.
- Funding for any feasible construction or rehab project in the world.
- No application fees of any kind.
- Funding amounts from $5,000,000 to $1,000,000,000.
- Funding in as little as four weeks from receipt of documentation..
- Funding for condominiums, income properties, residential developments, resorts, and much more!
Here are the requirements generally applicable:
A complete project book providing a full description of the proposed project. If available, also forward a current feasibility study and appraisal.
A Letter of Credit is required and may be supplied by our firm or by the client. If by the client then:
Client must produce a verifiable Standby Letter of Credit from a reputable domestic bank for 13% of the cost of construction or Financial Guarantee Bond from a A rated, or better insurer for 10% of the construction amount desired including closing fees of 7% to 8%. A bank will normally issue an "Intent to Issue" at no charge to client.
If asked to provide a Letter of Credit:
An average charge of 8% of the face amount of the Letter of Credit to arrange this instrument.
This program is very desirable for those wishing to limit the leverage on their assets and can be arranged within 10 days of initiating paperwork.
- No "Funds First" requests will be accepted.
- Usually no proposals from "Guaranty" companies or so-called "Credit Enhancement" entities will be entertained.
- Developer will be required to supply Performance and Completion Bonds. Local architects may be contracted with for inspections for fund disbursements.
For consideration of a clients' request the following is required:
A) Assurance that the client can produce one of the instruments as indicated above.
The simplest means to accomplish this is with the "Intent to Issue" bank letter or enlisting services to provide the Letter of Credit.
B) Completion of Non Disclosure-Non Circumvent and Fee Agreements to be forwarded to the client upon receipt of complete project information as indicated above.
Submitting brokers must have their own fee agreements stipulating payment to them from proceeds after the close of the transaction or in some other form mutually acceptable to the broker and client.
Upon acceptable receipt of the above items a Letter of Commitment will be issued subject to a Letter of Credit, or Financial Guarantee Bond. Upon execution of the Letter of Commitment and verification/approval of the guarantee instrument, funds will generally be available within thirty days.
Please contact us or request more information to the right if you would like to learn more.

|[TowerTalk] Re: Battle Creek Special/Grounded U
|email@example.com (David L. Thompson)
|Mon, 16 Jun 1997 13:00:38 -0400 (EDT)
Thanks to ZS6EZ for the excellent recount of the "battle Creek" special. The antenna is a modification of the "Minooka" Special detailed starting on page 15 of QST, December 1974. The article aws re-printed in the ARRL Antenna Anthology, 1978 (but now out of print). The guys (W8UVZ, W0CD, K8GG) do an excellent job. the article was one of the first to really target building an efficient 160 meter antenna and there is even a mobile version. Page 16 of the QSR article (called fig 1) is an excellent illustration of vertically polarized antennas. Fig 2 on page 18 shows other antennas that prove effective for Dxing. The antenna at the top right (submitted by K8RRH) is actually the famous half quad or grounded U. K4TEA has used this successfully after it was installed by Dave Fischer W0MHS (now W7FB). Dave is better know as "Loop Skywire". The Grounded U is for home antenna use and is not a portable vertical. I called K8RRH and spoke with him at length about the flat top portion of his antenna. Turns out he loaded the top to 1/4 wavelength with a cage and said that 130' was the true flat top. K4UEE and I quickly put up the grounded U and found that K4TEA's worked great because his was out in the open. Ours ran over the house and was connected to the tower in the center so it worked great in one direction or the other but the tower/house did the antenna in. The actual antenna is 130' flat top and 65 to 70' down at each end. Use as many radials as you can at each end, feed one end with coax or hardline, and add a tie back line (a ground radial between each end that ties the grounds together) that Dave recommended... Pattern is oval with slight favor to direction (endfire) of the down wire that is fed. Works great on 80, too (actually is a great all band antenna). Another was installed at N4HOH and used as the multiplier antenna in a M/S effort..worked better on 20 that most tri-banders! Here the antenna was installed with one vertical leg only 9' from a 100' Rohn 25. The other side was in a tall pine. We only had a couple or radials but it worked pretty well. Never too late to get those low band antennas ready for the "season" on 160!

|[TowerTalk] Single Base for 45g and 25g?
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Richard Thorne)
|Fri, 30 Mar 2001 07:57:42 -0600
We're very close to closing a deal on a new house. I want the contractor to dig the holes and pour the concrete for the tower when he does the foundation for the home. Not sure if I'm going to go with 45g or 25g. I have two options for a base: 1: Pier Pin which is probably a better engineering choice and can accommodate both a 25g or 45g base plate. This would also be the least expensive, I think. or 2: Use short concrete sections for 25g and 45g. I don't think it would be a problem to place the 25g base within the 45g base which would give me the flexibility to go with either tower. What does the multitude think? The concrete base and guy anchors will be designed for the largest tower I plan on putting up. -- 73, Richard Thorne ARS N5ZC (ex KA2DSY, N2BHP, WB5M) Remote Control Airplanes: AMA# 657062 http://www.tcac.net/~rthorne/

In our post-Katrina cookbook, "Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes for Recovery from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans" we tried to jam in all the greatest-hits recipes of the past few years, such as this one, which is requested on a regular basis. It was originally published -- in the grocery ads -- in the 1950s.
This is a very long-simmered, old-school red gravy..
1 stick butter
1 cup chopped green onions
2 jumbo onions, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 cups bell pepper, chopped
½ cup parsley, chopped
5 toes garlic, chopped fine
2 tablespoons Italian dry seasoning
5 fresh bay leaves
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled Italian tomatoes
3 (6-ounce) cans tomato paste
3 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds fresh ground beef, coarsely ground if desired
1 cup chopped green onions
1 jumbo onion, chopped
2 cups chopped celery
½ cup chopped parsley
1 cup bell pepper, chopped
5 toes fresh garlic, chopped
6 whole eggs
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
To make sauce: Saute vegetables and seasoning in butter for about 15 minutes in a large iron pot, then add whole tomatoes. Cook slowly for 1 hour, then add tomato paste and sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer 2 hours. Add sugar, and let simmer another 2½ hours.
Prepare meatballs by mixing all ingredients together. Roll into 1½- to 2-inch balls. Saute in 1 cup of olive oil until nicely brown. Set aside.
Add meatballs to sauce and continue simmering another 30 to 45 minutes. Serve over spaghetti (cooked al dente) and top with freshly grated Romano cheese. For a complete meal, add a green salad, some crisp French bread and a good red wine.

Electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corp. and STMicroelectronics recently announced an exciting design contest for engineering students based on ST's iNEMO™ multi-sensor inertial measurement unit (IMU).
The aim of the contest is to show engineering students how easy sensors are to work with and help them learn how sensors can enhance their projects, improving both usefulness and usability. Designs can address applications such as man/machine interfaces, robotics, navigation, gaming and sports, remote monitoring (of industrial equipment or medical patients), and more.
ST's iNEMO is an evaluation and development tool that offers 3-axis sensing of linear, angular and magnetic motion, as well as temperature and barometer/altimeter readings along with a 32-bit microcontroller and dedicated software - all on a single, small development board.
Each project must contain an iNEMO IMU and will be judged on the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) used, the quality of its hardware and firmware/software, the design's novelty, its use of daughter boards, and the project's ease of use and appeal of its user interface.
The grand-prize winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize along with an all-expense-paid trip, including airfare and accommodations for three nights, to Europe to visit the ST Development Labs in Catania, Sicily, Italy. Cash prizes of $2,500 and $1,000 will also be awarded to entrants selected as the second- and third-place winners.
Contest entrants must be currently enrolled students, at least 18 years of age, who are residents of North American locations that do not prohibit tax or restrict such contests. Qualified entrants must register to participate by Oct. 30, 2010 and will need to purchase an iNEMO development kit, containing an iNEMO eval board; a complete, professional software development toolset; and appropriate cables and software for $369 (value $4,500). Completed submissions will be accepted until April 30, 2011 with winners notified by early July 2011. Click here for full contest rules along with instructions on how to acquire the necessary hardware.

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has said that she wants Vera Wang to design her wedding dress.
Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has said that she wants Vera Wang to design her wedding dress.
The 41-year-old actress plans to walk down the aisle in one of the designer's elegant wedding gowns when she ties the knot with businessman Nick Loeb, who she got engaged to on holiday in Mexico last year.
Speaking to People magazine, Vergara said: ''When the time comes it has to be Vera Wang. Her dresses are amazing ... they are perfect. She knows my body so well. I want something modern and elegant. I've been married before so nothing too traditional or crazy.'
''Picking the dress will be the one easy thing to do. The rest is going to take lots of time.''
However, Vergara further explained that she doesn't want to keep things too traditional, saying: ''I still take advantage of the cleavage. While I have it, why not flaunt it? Who knows how long I'll have it looking this way. So I'm still taking advantage.''

Seeking to establish a place where they could gather and learn from each other, Schell started the International Discussion Group in 2008.
On March 13, the 25th country, Romania, was presented by Brunswick High School junior, Alexandra Boac.
"Usually 40 people come to each program and I have new sign-ups each program," she said. "Most are professionals. They learn from first-hand experience. There's a PowerPoint presentation and a question-and-answer session. They bring souvenirs from their country as well. Since it's a cultural program, there's food and my joy is cooking."
Schell has found speakers from Tri-C, Brunswick High School and even grocery shopping. She said she has never had to cancel a program for low attendance because it is so popular.
"One mother brings her children to learn about other people's culture. It's a conversation — a discussion. It's free. I use my talent. I can cook all nationalities.
"I feel at home with people from other countries. I just love it. I don't have family here. This is my family."

Glencoe athletic director Scott Ellis said via email that the school is awaiting district approval of its coaching hire and that he expects to make an announcement either Monday or Tuesday.
The Crimson Tide began the spring sports season with three head coach openings, but has quickly moved to fill them.
Glencoe filled its boys soccer opening first with the hiring of former assistant coach Jonathan Brubaker in mid-April, then hired Dave Immel to run its girls basketball program later that week.
The announcement of a new football coach will be the final step in an monthlong attempt to complete the school's coaching roster.
Former Glencoe football coach Steve Jones left the program after three seasons to pursue a business opportunity.

EASTHAMPTON — Two establishments with seasonal alcohol licenses that planned to close temporarily may be able to stay open after all.
State Rep. John W. Scibak, D-South Hadley, said he is hoping that the state will be able to move quickly enough to ensure that both Popcorn Noir and The Hideaway – a bar within Riff's Joint – get their all-alcohol licenses to forestall both from closing Jan. 15 when their seasonal licenses expire.
Both have seasonal liquor licenses, but that means they cannot sell alcohol from Jan. 15 through March 31.
With no all-alcohol licenses available in the city, Popcorn Noir and The Hideaway had applied for the over-quota licenses earlier this year, but that required License Board approval, and the board put off the final decision until October, which slowed the approval process.
The proposal to seek the over-quota licenses needed mayoral and City Council support and then support in both the state House and Senate and from the governor before coming back to the license board. The board is required to hold a public hearing and render a decision, and then the state Alcohol Beverage Control Commission issues the license.
But Scibak thinks all this can be expedited. He said the requests for the over-quota licenses were approved by the House on Friday and will be considered by the Senate on Monday morning and then move back to the House. He thinks the legislation will be on the governor's desk Monday or Tuesday to be signed.
Sen. Michael Knapik, R-Westfield will ensure it passes the Senate. "We're both tracking this thing," Scibak said.
He said once it's approved, he will call the local Licensing Board and the ABCC to ensure the licenses are expedited.
He said the ABCC had already inspected the establishments when they received their seasonal permits.
"It's a concern for both of us. We're in a situation where we're trying to support business. and someone shouldn't have to close if it's avoidable. We want to see (the licenses issued) as quickly as possible," Scibak said.
"That's fantastic," Popcorn Noir co-owner Kristen Davis said of what the legislators are doing.
But she said the establishments still need to apply to the License Board and need 10 days to notify abutters of the public hearing. She said they have been trying to get a meeting scheduled, but the next meeting isn't until Jan. 2.
They will need to know the license is on the way though in order not to close Jan. 15, Davis said.
License Board chairman Raymond G. Redfern could not be reached for comment.

The critically acclaimed Australian production begins at 7:30 p.m. in 550 theaters across the U.S., including Hollywood Theaters Stadium 18 in Mobile, Rave Cinemas Jubilee Square 14 in Daphne and Cobb Theaters Pinnacle 14 in Gulf Shores.
Presented by NCM Fathom and Omniverse Vision, "Phantom Week: The Complete Story" featured the 25th celebration of "Phantom of the Opera" on Monday and the long-awaited sequel tonight.
The new musical debuted in London in May 2010 to very mixed reviews. But Australian director Simon Phillips staged a totally revamped version the following spring in Melbourne. The new $9 million production opened to positive reviews and played to packed houses in both Melbourne and Sydney before closing April 1.
Starring Australian baritone Ben Lewis as the Phantom and Anna O'Byrne as Christine, the stage production was filmed for the big screen last fall. It has been shown twice in U.S. movie theaters this spring and raked in a surprising $1.2 million, according to Omniverse Vision.
