Fire District plans early-alert system
Eager to cut emergency response times even further, Fire Districts 7s Chief Mike Brown has proposed a pre-alert system that would get fire personnel out the door up to 30 seconds faster.
Although 30 seconds may not sound like a lot, in a business where speed matters and response times are calculated in minutes, 30 seconds can mean the difference between a healthy recovery and permanent injury, Brown pointed out.
Currently, 911 dispatchers take all the relevant information from callers, then relay it to responding fire stations. The firefighters then don whatever equipment they need and head for their rigs.
The whole process is supposed to take two minutes 60 seconds for the 911 call and 60 seconds to dress and get out the door, day or night. To shave 30 seconds, or a quarter of the time, off that amount, Brown proposes toning out the firefighters as soon as dispatch confirms the call is a real emergency and gets an address from the caller. The principal purpose is to get medical personnel on-scene even faster to treat life-threatening conditions. But Brown said the system could help with all types of calls.
They way a fire progresses, 30 seconds can be huge, he said.
Dave Magnenat, CenComs deputy director, said his staff has done some preliminary research on Browns idea and thinks it can be done.
The system would likely rely on a double-tone system. The first tone would dispatch a single, basic-response unit and the second would add whatever extra personnel were needed.
A medical call, for instance, would get one aid unit with two EMTs and a fire call would get a single fire engine.
Although serious medical calls would require a paramedic as well and working fires could potentially require a half-dozen or more additional units, Magnenat said a single unit can do plenty while waiting for reinforcements.
The EMTs can do an awful lot stabilizing the patient, he said, adding, Theyre going to go no matter what.
The biggest obstacle to implementing Browns proposal, which is also backed by Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue, is money. CenCom currently has one fire dispatch position the same number it had when it entered service in 1976.
Working a two-tone system would require a second position and approximately five additional people to staff it 18 hours a day. Magnenat said he was still researching what adding the position would cost, but pointed out it would be even more costly to aim for 24-hour-a-day coverage.
Eighteen hours a day is a way to get started, to get the busiest times of the day and the busiest days of the week covered, he said.
CenCom does have the space and computer resources needed to support a second dispatcher, even in its current facility. From a personal standpoint, Magnenat said, a second fire dispatcher would improve things a lot at CenCom by reducing the load on the current dispatch position.
Theyre overwhelmed, he said.
Magnenat hopes to get the majority of the research done by May 3, when he is scheduled to present the project proposal to the Kitsap fire chiefs. The meeting will be crucial, he said, because many fire departments havent even heard of the idea and will need to decide whether the earlier alert will work for them.
Every fire district has its own way of doing things, Magnenat pointed out. Some districts, like Fire District 7, ask for CenCom to only dispatch the minimum number of units needed. Others, like Bainbridge Island, want the whole department notified no matter where the emergency takes place.
Ultimately, this is something were working with fire districts on, Magnenat said. Its not something were pushing. Its an idea much more than it is a project at this point.
Although Fire DIstrict 7s commissioners have expressed support for the idea, some are still concerned the new system will take a toll on personnel. Fire Commissioner Rick Metzger said he didnt want to use the system if it kept firefighters keyed up around the clock, constantly on alert regardless of whether or not their services were needed.
He said any incremental reduction in response time was worthless if the responders were not in top form.
If our folks are showing up 30 seconds, 90 seconds earlier, but they arent mentally ready because weve burned them out, we havent gained anything, Metzger said.
Magnenat said the question of who gets toned when is something each fire district would have to decide for themselves. He emphasized the project is still in its very early stages and would likely undergo a lot of changes before it is implemented, if that day ever comes.
Theres great flexibility there so far as CenCom is concerned, Magnenat said.

Last weekend's Catalan elections returned perhaps the most difficult-to-read result.

So, would a sovereign downgrade hurt sterling? And if so, how much? It's hard to model this as historic comparisons are muddy and sterling crosses each obviously carry their own difficulties. Consider this chart from Morgan Stanley, by way of illustration:

The ECB announced some updates to its General Documentation on Wednesday. The item on ABS modifications caught our eye.
The move in question was first announced last April, and it represented a toughening up of the rules around ABS collateral for borrowing from the ECB. The update therefore isn't so much a surprise as a reminder of one of the ongoing, but less spoken about, hangovers of the crisis.

It was about this time last year that we noted how the voting membership of the FOMC would become more dove-ish in 2012. Of course, at the time we had no idea that Jeremy Stein and Jerome Powell would be appointed and confirmed this year, making the committee even more receptive to Ben Bernanke's decisions.
Surely this made it easier, at least on the margins, for Bernanke to move in the direction of Evans/Woodford/Sumner, which he finally did at the big September meeting (also helping was what appeared at the time to be another post-winter slowdown in the US economy). Read more
Latin American country tells creditors they can't be serious…
While acknowledging that the Committee's counter-proposal provides a degree of short-term cash flow relief, the GoB considers it to be wholly incompatible with its objective of placing the country's debt burden on a sustainable footing – a goal that the Committee itself has indicated it is committed to at various stages. The GoB believes that the counter-proposal ignores Belize's high overall debt levels, and that it amounts to little more than a short-term fix not dissimilar to the 2007 exercise. Read more

Much has been made of the buyback announced as part of the latest Greek debt reduction deal. Mainly because more than half of total debt savings agreed are expected to come from the buyback, according to this leaked doc.
The details of how the scheme is might actually work are pretty thin on the ground, but we know from the leak that the plan is to spend €10.2bn (from the EFSF most likely) buying back and retiring bonds. It is expected that this will lead to a reduction of 11 per cent of GDP by 2020. Read more

Tropical Storm Isaac has formed in the Atlantic Ocean. At 4 p.m., the center of Tropical Storm Isaac was located about 500 miles east of Guadeloupe.
Isaac is moving toward the west near 17 mph and this general motion is expected to continue for the next couple of days.
On the forecast track, the center of Isaac should move through the central Lesser Antilles Wednesday evening and emerge over the eastern Caribbean Sea by Thursday morning.
Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 45 miles to the northeast of the center. The minimum central pressure just measured by the hurricane hunter aircraft is 1006 mb.

Fathoms' o' Fun fireworks show almost a 'no go'
Fathoms o' Fun Festival Chair Shannon King looked at her watch around 7 p.m. on July 4.
The reason King was watching her watch was because the firework shells used for the annual Grand Fireworks Show had not arrived.
"At that time, there was a 90 percent chance the fireworks show was not going to happen," King said.
But with a little luck and quick work, more than 3,000 people lined up along the Port Orchard waterfront, along with others scattered throughout the uphill residential area, enjoyed another fireworks extravaganza.
Phil Paquette, a FOF board member and pyrotechnics director, said in the past, there has never been a problem with getting the fireworks in time for the annual show.
"There is a lot of work setting up the display," Paquette said.
"My supplier — Eagle Fireworks in Kent — has always been reliable in the past. We've always got a lot of 'bang for our buck.' "
Paquette, who began as the group's pyrotechnics director in the late 1990s, said this year the supplier was late in delivering the shells.
He said in the past, the shells would arrive the day before the fireworks show.
"I would normally order them the afternoon of July 3 and stay with them overnight," Paquette said. "Then my crew would show up and start working on the display while I took a power nap. Everything on our end is ready to go."
This year, Paquette said, there was miscommunication between him and the supplier. The delivery driver came from Olympia to deliver the explosive shells.
"We didn't get the shells until between 8:30 and 9 p.m.," he said. "We had to scramble. When they showed up, we jumped into action."
Once the shells arrived at the dock, Paquette got in a boat for a 30-minute ride to the floating barge — rented from Thompson Pile Driving Co.
Paquette said all the firework shells were set off electronically, according to state regulations.
"I was so relieved to get the fireworks loaded, wired and fired, even though it was late," he said.
The fireworks show began about 11:05 p.m. and lasted about 25 minutes.
"Our crew is not only skillful, but dedicated," Paquette said. "We knew the reality and possibility of no fireworks show because the delivery was so late."
On Monday, Paquette was packing up equipment from the show.
"There's a lot of setup and cleanup for a 30-minute show," he said.

Putting on a race is no easy task. (Trust me, I know.) It requires money, time, patience, networking, math (yes, math), and good old fashioned hard work. And what you can't accomplish with those skills, you make up as you go along and hope you're somewhat right.
On the other hand, putting on a race is really, really rewarding. Whether it's a local Turkey Trot for your neighborhood or you're hoping to add a huge event to the calendar, as a race director you learn a lot and meet an amazing group of people! You can raise money for an organization you care about or just raise awareness of running and walking!
So ... here's info about the Oregon Road Runners Club (ORRC) Race Director Workshop!
When: Saturday, November 6th
What time: 9a-4p
Where: ORRC's office, located at 4640 SW Western Ave., in Beaverton - The Oregon Road Runners Club is in the same building as the Dollar Store and the Bingo Parlor (the last entrance to the building near the back).
Register: By October 29th, online here, for only $30!
What I think will be the very best thing about this event is the networking! Imagine meeting other people interested in the same thing you are ... imagine the race series ideas you can come up with ... the tips on the things that could very well be the line between pulling your hair out and actually sleeping the night before your race!
You can get more info about the ORRC Race Director Workshop by emailing Julie or Tracy Reisinger at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Louisiana is a hotbed for talented young prospects, but the quarterback position within the state's borders don't typically provide the depth of other positions. The class of 2016 is an anomaly of sorts with upwards of six signal callers drawing attention from major programs.
Leading the group is one of the nation's best in Calvary Baptist gunslinger Shea Patterson. With offers from just about every major program in the country except for LSU leading into the weekend, the Arizona commitment has more than his fair share of suitors. The Tigers jumped into the race on Saturday by extending him an offer after spending some quality time with LSU staffers this weekend.
"I had a great time this weekend and it felt really good to finally get that LSU offer," the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder said. "I wasn't born here, but I quickly learned that LSU is a way of life down here and the offer means a lot."
Patterson was born in Ohio before moving to Texas when he was 11 years old in 2008. Although every kid within the state may not consider LSU as a possible destination, it's certainly an offer they each covet because of the status that comes with it. But for Patterson, it seems to have a bigger significance than just that for him.
"They (LSU) have a lot to offer as a program," he said. "Coach Cam Cameron is a great guy that has a resume that speaks for itself. They are always in contention for National Championships and it's a really nice place.
"I'm committed to another program so I don't feel comfortable talking up any other program really, but it's definitely an offer that has a little special feel to it than some of the others. I mean, I had to be patient and really earn the offer. Coach Cameron came to see me this spring, traveled with us to the National Championships at the IMG tournament and picked my brain every chance he could. I had to prove it to him and I respect that."
Patterson has been committed to Arizona for some time, but that hasn't slowed his recruitment much. In fact, he has been as hot as any prospect in the country this spring. With so much time before he is set to sign and enroll into a college program, keeping his options open seems like the only choice for Patterson.
"A lot of things can happen in the college football world so it wouldn't be smart for me to exclude anyone," Patterson said. "I mean, coaches change, programs struggle or rise anything can happen really. I'm honoring my commitment now, but you never know what tomorrow holds so I have to be prepared for anything."
Preparation is something he learned from his father Sean Patterson, who used to be an AAU basketball coach. His father accompanied him on the trip to Baton Rouge and his slow and steady approach has rubbed off on his son.
"My dad has a good understanding of how recruiting works," he said. "Having him with me every step of the way has been a blessing. He enjoyed our time with LSU's coaches for many of the same reasons I did. He will be supportive of whatever I do in the end because it's really a team effort with my whole family, not just me."
During his visit, Patterson had the chance to meet with many of the LSU coaches, including the headman Les Miles. The vibe he felt while there certainly stood out to the rising junior quarterback.
"I had a good, long meeting with Les Miles and he was great," Patterson said. "He was telling me that he thought I was a difference maker and he would love to have me at his program. He was just really cool about everything and didn't put any pressure on me.
"In fact, none of the coaches did. Frank Wilson was great as was Cam Cameron. It was a good trip and I'm glad I ended up going."
James Smith previously worked as a talent evaluator for Elite Scouting and Max Emfinger and has served on the selection committees of various high school All-American games. He can be reached at email@example.com or 504.826.3405.

Edgerton Album of Washington State College and Family
Photographs, 1906-1913
This collection was received at WSU Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections in May of 2010 as UPC10-02 from Pam Medhurst of San Diego, CA. It belonged to Ms. Medhurst's grandmother, Mildred Eunice Edgerton Gilliland, who was admitted to WSC in the fall of 1908, and the album came to Ms. Medhurst through her mother. The album was processed by University Archivist Mark O'English in May, 2010.
The album is retained in its original binding and order, though a number of photographs have come loose. The first half of the album, approximately 155 photographs, deals with life at Washington State College in Pullman, Washington, from 1906-1911. The second half of the album, approximately 215 photographs, comprises family photographs in a variety of locations. The only identifiable subjects which receive a large quantity of coverage are images from Marshfield (later Coos Bay), Oregon, from 1911-1913, many of young Emma Bell Stadden (born 1911). Very limited coverage is given to a number of other items, including a trip to Alaka, the 1909 Yukon Pacific Exposition, and a Memorial Arch at Genessee, Idaho which appears to remember those who fought in the Spanish-American War.
This collection is open and available for research use.

Autumn in Queenstown, Speargrass Flats Road
First on the blog – What does the fall look like here?
I wanted to release this video here first to you all… just a little segment of my day — what I saw yesterday. So I've been going out every day here to take photos. I've gotten some great ones, but then I realized one of the best things about the Autumn here is the soft movement of everything. So I set my Sony A7r to video mode to get a few scenes from the day. There's no instruction or anything —- and you might even find it rather boring! Also the audio is not so great because of the wind. Sorry about that! Haha… anyway, you can at least see a bit of what I saw yesterday.
Daily Photo – Autumn in Queenstown, Speargrass Flats Road
This is a lovely road here in my neighborhood called Speargrass Flats. I was just here yesterday when I took this photo. It's where I go on my jog, and very close to my turnaround point. What a great place! I love the feeling of running through here while listening to music. And just now, everything has started to change colors… and it is so beautiful!

Sistema India Opts for Chinese Smartphones, Skips iPhone
Russian conglomerate Sistema JSFC's Indian mobile unit has opted to exclude the iPhone from its lineup and is instead offering smartphones from China and India to customers.
Dmitry Shukov, chief executive at Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd., told The Wall Street Journal it decided not to carry the iPhone because Apple sets a floor for unit sales, making it more challenging to sell the smartphone because Sistema Shyam operates on the less popular CDMA mobile standard.
Apple sells phones running CDMA or code division multiple access technology through other channels in India. Of India's 867.80 million wireless users, only 73.18 million were on CDMA networks at end-March, data from the telecom regulator showed.

I would like to have the option between the wiimote and the classic controller in wii games, what do you think...
i agree. although i love the wii remote and think it's an extremely innovative way to play current games, having the option is not a bad idea. i've referenced this earlier in this thread, but i have no clue as to why ssbb won't be compatible with the wii remote. is it not a wii game? my girlfriend had to go and get me 4 virtual controllers just for that--that and, well, mario kart. lol.Originally Posted by UFCfreak

well the reason the Classic controller did not come with the wii is because it is an option you don't have to have it to play wii games. some wii games will use it that is for sure and some will use the GC controller ( which i am really happy about because that is the best controller for SSBB ) but like i said it will be an option... i know every game that comes out on the wii will use the wiimote for sure even if its not practical at all, but at least they will be giving us the option to use a more standard controller. Also if you are well the VC has to have the classic controller well you are not obligated to buy the VC games and the GC controller works for the games that needs the Classic controller however its not really a good transition. so thats why the wii did not come with a classic controller.

Oregon lawmakers say the low-income preschool program helps more kids and costs less than full-day kindergarten
By Steven Carter
The Oregonian
Expanding the Head Start preschool program for 3- and 4-year-olds across the state has emerged as a priority among lawmakers over a competing proposal to provide full-day kindergarten at all schools.
Legislative leaders say expanding Head Start over the next two years has a powerful coalition of business and civic leaders, law enforcement officials and child welfare advocates behind it. Plus, supporters point to 40 years of national research that shows how Head Start pays off for children and the public.
By contrast, state Superintendent Susan Castillo's proposal for state-paid full-day kindergarten is clouded by competing demands for money, partisan wrangling over taxes and school officials who are divided whether to spend more money on kindergarten or other programs.
Castillo's bill, Senate Bill 213, has languished in the Senate Education and General Government Committee since February.
"My committee made the decision we wanted to invest in Head Start before we go about funding all-day kindergarten," said Sen. Vicki Walker, D-Eugene, chairwoman of the committee. "I think everyone is on board with that."
Head Start combines educational, social and health services for low-income children and families. It serves about 9,800 Oregon children at an annual cost of $7,900 a child. Gov. Ted Kulongoski proposes spending $39 million in the next two years to add 3,200 children. That would extend Head Start to almost 80 percent of eligible children; it's considered full funding because about one in five families choose not to participate.
Kulongoski proposed raising the minimum corporate income tax to pay for the expansion, but raising any taxes has run into stiff opposition from Republicans, even those who back Head Start. His education adviser, James Sager, said the governor is willing to negotiate on how to pay for the program.
Sen. Kurt Schrader, D-Canby, and Rep. Mary Nolan, D-Portland, co-chairs of the budget-writing Ways and Means Committee, have proposed spending $29 million to expand Head Start -- without raising the $10 minimum corporate tax. That would serve an additional 2,200 children. Senate Bill 46, the bill expanding Head Start, remains in their committee awaiting resolution of the corporate tax and budget debate.
Swati Adarkar, director of the Children's Institute of Oregon, said low-income children often lack the social skills and early educational exposure that middle-class children get.
"It's the early years that make the difference," Adarkar said. "We know that the achievement gap is well established by kindergarten."
At the Mt. Hood Community College Head Start program, 700 low-income children attend either full-day or half-day pre-school sessions, where they learn social skills, proper behavior in school and the building blocks for reading and math.
"How many of you have the letter U," teacher Angela Neumann asked a group of preschoolers.
"I do!" shouted 4-year-old Lucy Wu.
"OK, the next letter is B, for Brian," Neumann said.
"Got it," Lucy said, putting a Lego on the square with the letter B.
Alphabet and number games are typical. The children learn to write their names, examine books, sort and measure, sing and draw. The center assesses their academic and social development regularly. They get health screenings and dental exams, and their parents get help with housing, referrals to social services and training on how to help their children learn and grow.
Lucy learns in a classroom filled with books, building blocks, art paper, crayons. At one end is a playhouse. In another corner is a cage with a caterpillar. The children are recording the changes it makes in transition to a moth.
Castillo said Oregon needs both Head Start and full-day kindergarten. Her kindergarten proposal would cost the state about $50 million a year.
A separate bill, Senate Bill 318, would give school districts the option of using state money for kindergarten, for reducing class size or for several other programs aimed at boosting student achievement. That bill has the backing of all the major education lobby groups and is close to clearing the Legislature.
Castillo said she's not giving up on full-day kindergarten and will press for it next session if it dies this year.
"Head Start is great," she said. "But we need to sustain that extra help for several years."

CLEVELAND, Ohio - It would certainly enliven the NFL Draft if the choices made in football could be more like those made in the movies.
In "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," the last surviving Knight of the Cruciform Sword confronts Indy and avaricious American businessman Walter Donovan. The latter has used Nazi bullies to try to obtain the Holy Grail and with it eternal life.
"You must choose. But choose wisely, for as the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you," says the knight.
Donovan drinks from the false Grail, a heavily bejeweled cup, and turns to dust.
Says the knight, "He chose . . . poorly."
Setting the Dust Bowl tone from the start with the reborn Browns was Dwight Clark, the hand-picked general manager of the "Dream Team" of Al Lerner and Carmen Policy. Clark's draft picks bit the dust early and often. As a San Francisco scribe of my acquaintance once said, "If Dwight Clark hadn't caught that pass against the Cowboys, he'd be sacking groceries at Safeway." Clean up on Aisle four, Dwight! Bring the dustpan!
Into the vacuum bag with you too, Butch Davis. His sin of taking Gerard Warren instead of LaDainian Tomlinson certainly reaped the whirlwind.
That failure was compounded by selecting William Green the next season to make up for passing on L.T.
Green became the central figure in a tangled love affair featuring alcohol, marijuana and a wayward knife, with which he said he executed the world's first self-backstab while running up the stairs. Police chose to believe his girlfriend had used the shiv on him instead.
With Walter Donovan Hoovered out of existence, Indy drinks from the true Grail in the movie. It is a plain wooden vessel that a carpenter might have made. "You have chosen. . . wisely," says the knight.
But the Grail cannot pass beyond the room in which it is stored. "That is the boundary and the price of immortality," says the knight.
Immortality in the NFL is maybe Doug Dieken, Clay Matthews or even kicker Phil Dawson, guys with long, successful careers. I'd take another Clay Matthews in my living room on Sunday afternoons.
Unfortunately, the two Browns who had the biggest long-term impact with the franchise since its rebirth in 1999 were Josh Cribbs, an undrafted free agent, and Dawson, who had been cut by the Raiders and neglected by the Patriots and was also a free agent.
Remember when Phil Savage called taking Braylon Edwards at No. 3 overall "a no-brainer." Who knew he meant Braylon? Woe is us.
Then there was the Eric Mangini/George Kokinis era, notable for Kokinis having less impact than a cloud of rosin hurled by LeBron James. One day the Browns just up and announced Kokinis was "no longer actively involved" with the franchise. (Who knew he ever had been?) Mangini was left to take the solo bows for David Veikune, Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie. More dust bunnies were there than in an unused attic.
The current draft, which begins Thursday night, represents Browns 6.0 by my count in terms of regime change. It also tracks in the dust of unwise choices from the past with general manager Mike Lombardi, who says he's not the old Mike Lombardi, which, if true, is a good thing.
The old Lombardi's signature moment came when he and Genius To Be Revealed Later Bill Belichick took Craig Powell, an early-entry Ohio State linebacker, in the first round. OSU coach John Cooper yelped, "He's not ready." Powell was, in fact, just another Cinderella boy, a bag of soot, presented as gold dust.
The Browns moved to Baltimore, without Lombardi, and Ozzie Newsome began picking the players that would win a Super Bowl in 2000.
For his part, Lombardi resurfaced in the role he might play here. He was the guy who said, "Good pick, Al," to Al Davis in Oakland when Al was selecting JaMarcus Russell first overall in 2007. Surely Lombardi is flexible enough to say to Joe Banner, "Good pick, Joe."
Maybe Lombardi will work out. Maybe Mike Brown will work out in his second at-bat with the Cavaliers too. Maybe that's pixie dust in the wind.
Still, two daring draft picks that have worked out since the restoration were those of wide receiver Greg Little in the regular draft and wideout Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft, both by former GM Tom Heckert. Heckert was sacked by the new Jimmy Haslam regime.
So until Thursday night, remember what the man in the chain mail said. Choose. . . wisely.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK-B ) Warren Buffett, perhaps channeling Eleanor Roosevelt, has been quoted as saying: "You want to learn from experience, but you want to learn from other people's experience when you can."
This adage isn't as easy to act upon as it may seem.
My colleague Adam Wiederman has a great piece telling Fools about his losing position in Allied Irish Banks (NYSE: AIB ) , and how to avoid his mistakes. You may be nursing a similar wound in your own portfolio, and thus identify with Adam's plight. Still, you don't literally feel his pain. Only personal losses cut that deep. So how likely are you to take his lesson to heart, without taking the hit yourself?
A stock's seductive story, combined with the enthusiasm of the crowd, can sometimes cloud the clearest of investing minds. Maybe it's futile, then, to tell these cautionary tales.
Well, I'm going to give it a shot anyway. This lesson's far less psychologically sticky than Adam's battle with confirmation bias. It's one you can easily apply, and should help you to avoid losing money. Sound good?
Not just a platitude, dude
You've surely heard that investing in emerging markets carries elevated risks. Of course, that's painting things with a pretty broad brush. For example, India is no China. But in general, there are serious pitfalls to contend with when you start looking at countries where governments are prone to topple, there's violence in the streets, or corruption is ingrained in the business culture.
Globetrotting Fool Bill Mann boiled it all down to this key issue back in 2006: "Investing in another country means that you need to have an understanding about what the people to whom you are entrusting your money think about people like you."
From Russia, without love
Russian businessmen have repeatedly shown that they don't think much of people like you. And by that, I don't just mean American investors.
Citing the "unpredictability of administrative processes" in Russia, Swedish retail behemoth Ikea has iced all its future Russian investments. The company's founder has spoken about being gouged on electricity prices there in supposed retaliation for an unwillingness to grease some palms. In a statement very reminiscent of that Bill Mann quote, Ikea's country director conveyed the feeling to an interviewer that "someone somewhere does not like us."
So it is that Ikea joins a very long list of Western businesses to catch that frigid feeling. Pan American Silver (Nasdaq: PAAS ) learned this lesson back in 1999, when its Dukat project was "ambushed" (in the company's own words) by a local Russian firm. More recently, Big Oil has been the one getting roughed up by the Russian bear, from Royal Dutch Shell's getting shooed away from Sakhalin-2 to the ouster of Robert Dudley as head of BP's (NYSE: BP ) joint venture in the country.
Despite this boorish behavior, the allure of Russia's resource wealth continues to draw in the likes of Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC ) and Total SA. I think they are making a mistake. Ikea certainly did, but recognized it quickly enough, and will now bring its meatballs and BEDDINGE futons to places where they will be better appreciated.
Meatballs to morals
For me, this is an experience that I don't need to suffer from firsthand. Russia is a big-time "avoid" in my book. That definitely rules out folks like Mechel OAO (NYSE: MTL ) , and even makes me reluctant to consider something like ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) , with its 20% stake in Lukoil.
Yes, the country's stocks often look cheap, but as my colleague Ivan Martchev argued recently, they may always remain so.

Mary Lou Lucido pays her bills.
She pays rent each month to Avalon Watchung in North Plainfield for her one-bedroom apartment.
She pays PSE&G for gas and electricity each month, and she's happy to pay for the services she uses.
What she's not willing to do is pay for services caused by broken equipment that's not accessible to her, maintained by her or owned by her.
Therein lies the problem.
Prior to February, Lucido, 57, never had an issue with her gas or electric bill.
"The bill was generally monthly in the mid-$200 range in the winter, and $150 on the low end," she said, noting that February's bill was $227. "In March of this year it jumped up to an absurd and ridiculous amount. It's a one-bedroom apartment. Clearly, there is no way it could have been this ludicrous amount."
March's bill was $435.
Lucido called PSE&G. The rep said the meter was probably misread, and the next month's bill would reflect the accurate charges. She said she also called the apartment complex's management company to notify them of the unusually high bill, and they said something about checking the meter, which is located in a public area.
Lucido paid $250 that month, estimating on the high side what she thought her actual usage was, and she waited.
When April's bill came, the problem continued. New charges were added to the unpaid balance from the month before, and the bill said she owed $586. She said she notified the apartment complex, and then she called PSE&G.
"The representative that was helping us from PSE&G finally suggested to us in his expert opinion that PSE&G would take the meter out and test it, and for us to continue paying around the amount we would normally pay," Lucido said.
So for April, she paid another $250.
Around the same time, Lucido said a maintenance man came to turn on the air conditioning. This was located in a locked closet on the apartment's second-floor balcony. (More on why this is important in a few moments.)
The May bill jumped again. It was now at $720. Lucido paid $220, and hoped for the best.
She said she checked in with PSE&G to ask about the meter testing, but received no answers about when it would happen.
Finally, in the beginning of May, PSE&G came to remove, test and replace the meter. It was found to be accurate.
But then the June bill arrived with a whopping balance of $1,014.
For Lucido, that was the last straw. She wanted a resolution.
She called PSE&G again, and they said they sent a letter explaining that the meter was okay — something Lucido said she never received. Eventually, she was transferred to a supervisor she said was the most helpful rep to date.
"He was the first representative who suggested that there might be an internal or structural issue in the building," she said. "He asked many troubleshooting questions and one finally struck a chord: Do you hear a leak or water running in any room in the apartment?"
Lucido enlisted the help of her boyfriend, Tom Docherty. They listened around, and they heard something. It was a subtle sound of water running behind the tub in the bathroom.
Progress, at last.
Lucido called the apartment complex about the sound, and on June 17, the maintenance guy arrived.
"It turns out it was a broken valve in the water heater that was continually running warm water through a pipe that ran through the bathroom then out to a sewage pipe," she said.
The water heater is located in that locked closet on the second-floor balcony — out of Lucido's reach.
After the fix was made, Lucido brought copies of the bills to the apartment complex manager.
"The property manager advised us that they are not responsible for any of these bills. It's not their problem because I denied them access to the apartment? Help!"
We reviewed the bills and the timeline of calls made by Lucido.
She also explained the manager's comment about access to the apartment.
"I just don't allow maintenance in the apartment when I'm not present," she said. "I have a small dog and I'm afraid he will run out the door."
She said she has no problem with them coming. She simply wants to be home when they do.
We left a message for the apartment complex, and while we waited for a call back, we talked to PSE&G.
It offered to put the account on hold for 30 days so Lucido wouldn't have to worry about collections calls or shut-off notices while we tried to resolve the jumbo charges.
We also called the Department of Community Affairs, which handles the state's Landlord-Tenant Information Service.
A spokesman pointed us to the regulations for the Maintenance of Hotels and Multiple Dwellings.
Under Maintenance Requirements, N.J.A.C. 5:10-1.6(b) reads: "All service equipment, means of egress, devices, and safeguards that are required in a building by the provisions of these regulations, or that were required by the law when the building was erected, altered, or repaired, shall be maintained in good working order."
The complex, then, is responsible for to make sure the water heater — in that locked closet — is "in good working order."
In days, the complex called us back, saying it was reviewing Lucido's maintenance requests.
The next day, Lucido got a call. Actually, three calls, all from the complex. All said it was urgent she call back. One message was more detailed, saying the complex wanted to give her a $1,500 credit on her Avalon account to make up for the extra gas charges.
Before Lucido was able to call back, we received a call from Richard Wolff, who said he did communications for Avalon's properties.
He said the complex's maintenance records showed Lucido didn't contact them until May, when she complained about a high gas bill. That's different from Lucido's accounting of calling the management in March and in April.
Lucindo's next contact was June, he said, when she asked for compensation for the extra charges from the water heater leak. At that time, he said, the complex manager had a conversation with Lucido about what her responsibilities were, compared with those of the complex, given that they said Lucido denied them access.
Lucido disputes the complex's account of dates and events, but that's not the real issue here. The real issue is who should pay.
Wolff said the complex manager has been trying to reach Lucido for several days, but Lucido hasn't returned the calls.
Bamboozled explained Lucido's job doesn't allow for chat time during working hours, but she did receive three messages, including the one offering a $1,500 credit toward future rent.
Wolff said that's not the offer he was aware of, but he said the company "wants to resolve the situation in an amicable way."
"The manager spoke to the regional management and they are trying to let her know that they are amenable to paying the lion's share of the utility bill," he said. "They're just asking her to pay the amount she would normally pay."
We reached out to Lucido and did the math with her. Given that there's no way to know for sure exactly what her usage was for the months in question, we used her 2012 bills as an estimate. Adding in the overpayments for what she's already paid to PSE&G for those months, we came to $1,603, not including three weeks of usage in June from before the fix was made.
It's as close to making Lucido whole as we could get.
Lucido took the number to the manager, and they negotiated.
"I said I would be happy with $1,700, and she said, 'Done,'â
" Lucido said.
The $1,700 would go toward a credit on her Avalon account for future rent payments. Essentially, Lucido would take the money she'd usually pay for rent, and she'd pay off the extra PSE&G balance with it — in the end, breaking just about even.
"The way it all worked out, I'm happy and excited," Lucido said. "It's the closest I ever hoped to get. I was getting frustrated and I thought it would have been small claims court next."
Avalon made good on its promise. On Thursday, Lucido received the $1,700 credit promise from Avalon in writing. She plays to apply it to her August rent.
Case closed.

The Detroit Lions could hire a new coach in the next few days. At that point, he will be charged with filling out a staff.
The team's front office has already said all staffing decisions will be up to the coach, but with several assistants still under contract, general manager Martin Mayhew said the team will recommend a handful be retained.
Here are our suggestions for three assistants the next coach should strongly consider retaining.
Offensive line coach Jeremiah Washburn
Loved by the team's veterans and respected by the club's younger players, Washburn got shocking results out of a unit in flux during his first season in charge of the position group.
Despite three new starters, and a revolving door at right tackle because of injuries, the Lions got their most complete performance from the offensive line in more than a decade. Quarterback Matthew Stafford was sacked just 23 times, second lowest in the league, while the Lions had their most productive season running the ball since 1998.
Linebackers coach Matt Burke
Burke is a Schwartz guy, no question. After four years with the Tennessee Titans, Burke followed Schwartz to Detroit where he's been the linebackers coach for the past five seasons. But his credentials shouldn't be dismissed because of guilt by association.
The Lions linebackers have seen steady growth under Burke, particularly current starters DeAndre Levy and Ashlee Palmer.
Levy, a third-round pick in 2009, bounced between outside and middle linebacker his first couple seasons, before finding a home on the outside once the team signed Stephen Tulloch in 2011. Levy has developed into one of the league's premier 4-3 outside linebackers, and has taken a massive leap forward in his coverage skills in the past year.
Palmer, an undrafted free agent claimed off waivers in 2010, has developed into a quality professional after butting heads with Burke when the young linebacker first got to Detroit.
Although he's best known for his work on special teams, Palmer earned the other starting outside job this season and played exceptionally well against the run, tallying six tackles for loss.
Special Teams coordinator John Bonamego
Last season, Detroit's special teams were a mess. The team solved the majority of their issues by drafting punter Sam Martin and bringing in Bonamego to replace Danny Crossman.
With 14 years of experience coaching special teams at the professional level, Bonamego helped correct the flaws that plagued the Lions' coverage units last season. Detroit didn't allow a touchdown in 2013, after allowing four the previous season. The team also finished fifth in net punting.
The Lions also appeared to finally find a quality return option in receiver Jeremy Ross, although it took until the halfway point of the season to make the switch from ineffective veteran Micheal Spurlock.
The one area where the team struggled was with blocked kicks. The team game up four blocks -- two field goals, a punt and an extra point. That's a clear area needing improvement, but doesn't negate the success Bonamego had in his first year in Detroit.

(MLive.com periodically will profile a potential Detroit Red Wings trade target until Wednesday's trading deadline.)
Jason Pominville
Team: Buffalo
Position: Right wing
Height/Weight: 6-0/185
Age: 30
Shoots: Right
2012-13 stats: 36 games, 10 goals, 13 assists, 23 points, minus-2 rating, eight penalty minutes, 93 shots on goal, averaging 20:58 in ice time.
Career stats: 577 games, 185 goals, 269 assists, 454 points, plus-38 rating, 147 penalty minutes.
Contract: After this season, one year remaining at a salary-cap hit of $5.3 million.
Strengths: He's a consistent point producer who's a good playmaker and finisher. He's scored at least 20 goals in six consecutive seasons prior to this year, hitting the 30-goal mark twice during that stretch. He has topped the 60-point mark five times. He's also a responsible defensive player who leads his team in takeaways, and he and kills penalties. He's extremely durable, having missed only nine games in the past seven seasons. He is Buffalo's captain and a strong leader.
Weaknesses: He's not a big guy and might he showing signs of wear. After a strong start this season, he has just one point in his past seven games.
Why the Red Wings might be interested in him: They could use a top-six winger who can put the puck in the net. They don't know what they can expect from injured forwards Mikael Samuelsson and Todd Bertuzzi; both are expected to return this season, but how effective can they be after missing so much time? Another right-handed shot on a team loaded with lefties would be a bonus. They don't want a rental if they have to part with a high pick or decent prospect, and Pominville has a year left on his deal.
What it might take to get him: Some combination of a high draft pick and a quality prospect.
The Sabres are in sell mode and on Monday reportedly asked Pominville to submit a list of eight teams to whom he does not want to be traded, as per his modified no-movement clause. Would Buffalo trade this franchise fixture to Detroit, since the clubs will be division rivals next season when the Red Wings move to the Eastern Conference?
Trade options for top-six forwards appear to be limited because few teams are out of the playoff picture. The Sabres clearly are listening to offers for Pominville, which doesn't necessarily mean they will trade him. If they do, is he the kind of scorer/playmaker the Red Wings need?
What would it take to land him? Should Detroit seek someone else? Should it stand pat?

Further Details
|Objective: With the humanitarian work of the International Red Cross after the earthquake in Bam, Iran, it should be noted that international and national cooperation is possible according to recognised standards and concepts, and therefore morbidity records can be included uniformly in the context of day-to-day work even in post-disaster situations. The data ascertained show changes in the disease spectrum. Basic health provision according to the primary health care concept has priority in the post-disaster response (> 6 days) to the earthquake compared to more surgically oriented medical acute aid from abroad. Material and methodology: In the international consensus conference at the beginning of January 2004, uniform morbidity recording was fixed to simple standardised disaster case definitions. The recording of traumatic, infectious and non-infectious diseases was carried out during the routine work in the outpatient facilities of the emergency response units of 3–31 January 2004. Examination was according to the following indicators: proportional morbidities and sum of the proportional morbidities. Results and discussion: The complete examination time period included 16,677 new cases. The health facility rate only gradually increased. Temporal fluctuations in the numbers treated may be caused by secondary care of the injured, by a possible lack of accessibility (transport problems) or an increased acceptance of facilities. A written specification of the case definitions was not carried out in Bam, and so a comparison is not possible for recorded morbidities at the same time, and consistency cannot be reached for some of the data. Nine diagnoses/categories cover 98.68% of the consultations in the complete time period. Non-traumatic health problems predominate for the whole of the month. The category "others" is too high with 57.94%. Therefore, it may be assumed that certain diagnoses were overestimated, underestimated or not recognised. Vulnerable groups (children, women, the old) were not completely included. Conclusion: Standards and guidelines for health care in humanitarian aid exist and are of help during planning, decision finding, execution and communication. Data acquisition instruments (registering books and patient files) should be developed and standardised by national and international humanitarian groups. The recording of morbidity is a simple instrument in the context of outpatient facilities and provides valuable information for further work during disasters.

Trenton Catholic Academy point guard Briyona Canty, who is the No. 6 recruit in the nation according to Scout.com, has signed to play for Rutgers and coach C. Vivian Stringer.
Canty, a Willingboro native, is an explosive 5-9 guard with off-the-charts athletic skills and an ability to change directions on a dime. She picked the Scarlet Knights over Tennessee.
"It was just the fact that Rutgers isn't that far from home so my parents can come see me play and I get the chance to play for a great coach who can teach me so much,'' said Canty. "I'm real excited to get the process over with. Now I can focus on school and basketball this year.''
Canty, who was a member of the U.S. National U-17 team this summer, joins a pair of guards from Neptune High, Syessence Davis and Shakena Richardson, and 6-3 forward/center Christa Evans of Jackson Memorial to give Rutgers a top-five 2011 recruiting class, according to ESPNU HoopGurlz.
Last season, Canty led TCA to its third NJSIAA Non-Public B crown in four years.

MUSKEGON, MI – Great food and fun activities made it an easy decision to attend the Taste of Muskegon.
Deciding what to eat once you got there was a little harder, so why not just try it all?
OK, probably not. Still, visitors of all ages flocked to Hackley Park in Muskegon on Saturday, June 21 for the annual food festival which featured offerings from 23 local restaurants and food vendors. Everything from pizza and burgers, to tacos and seafood was available at the eighth annual event.
Live music, face painting, bounce houses, museum crafts, storytelling, a bags tournament and a car show made the event a huge downtown draw.
Tastes of food were purchased with tickets sold for $1 each. With so many offerings, the $20 in my pocket gave me a good idea of what the event was all about. Here are some thoughts on five of the vendors that participated in ths year's Taste of Muskegon.
Hennessey's Irish Pub & Restaurant
Where it's located: 885 Jefferson St., Muskegon
What they offered: Drunken Irishman Slider, Perch slider, chicken salad wrap, Caesar salad wrap, cheesecake on a stick.
What I tried: I decided to try the Drunken Irishmen slider. The small burger patty was prepared with onion straws, ale rarebit and served on a pretzel bun. The onion straws had a nice crunch to them and the meat was cooked to the perfect temperature. The ale rarebit, made from cheese, Worcestershire Sauce and mustard, was very unique. The slider cost me four tickets.
What they said: Muskegon resident Betty Hunter tried the Perch slider.
"Hennessey's has some fantastic food," Hunter said. "I like the atmosphere. It's friendly. I really enjoy being there, I truly do. The Perch looked good, and I love Perch, so it was an easy choice."
Rosita's Tacos
Where it's located: 2811 Sanford St, Muskegon.
What they offered: Tacos (beef and steak), tostadas (beef and steak), nachos, Walking Tacos.
What I tried: I went with the a beef taco with a hard corn shell. The taco was served with lettuce, tomato and cheese. I also ordered a steak tostada which was served with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream. There were also three salsas, mild, hot and very hot. The taco was good. The shell has a nice crunch to it and the beef was seasoned well. I liked the tostada more however, the steak was a strong point and combined with the salsa and sour cream the flavor was amazing. It was a little messy to eat though. Rosita's also had the longest line out of any of the other restaurants. Tacos were two tickets, tostadas were three.
What they said: Muskegon resident Steven Modrow tried a taco and a tostada.
"Rosita's has good flavor, good prices and the people are nice," he said, "I love the soft shell tacos. The meat has some great seasoning and flavor to it."
Teddy Spaghetti's
Where it's located: 3032 Heights Ravenna Rd, Muskegon
What they offered: Toasted raviolis (cheese or beef), Italian Creole pasta
What I got: Per recommendation from just about everyone waiting in line, I ordered the beef toasted raviolis. They were absolutely amazing. The outer crust had just enough crunch to it that it wasn't soggy but it also wasn't hard. The meat was seasoned perfectly and the parmesan cheese on the outside of the shell was a nice touch. It's easy to see why Teddy Spaghetti's is one of the most popular Italian restaurants in the area. The raviolis were four tickets each.
What they said: Norton Shores resident Dave Gringras tried the toasted raviolis.
"I haven't been there in a long time but I always ordered the toasted ravioli, that's my favorite thing that they make," he said. "The taste is great, it's unique."
The Lake House Waterfront Grille
Where it's located: Terrace Point Dr., Muskegon
What they offered: Chilled blackened Mahi Mahi tacos, BBQ pulled pork sliders, Crab and artichoke smoked Gouda dip.
What I tried: I went with the crab and artichoke smoked Gouda dip per recommendation of someone in line. I'm a fan of seafood so I figured I would like it. I was right. The dip was nice and thick and had a great cheese base. It was served with a healthy portion of homemade tortilla chips. I must say that the seafood influences were very strong in the dip so unless you're a fan, you might not like it. The dip cost three tickets.
What they said: Muskegon resident Kara Hillstead tried the Mahi Mahi tacos.
"I love The Lake House," she said. "It's a great atmosphere and a fun place to go. People are friendly. I usually get the fish tacos or some appetizers. The fish taco is grilled so it's not heavy. It's just really good it's a unique flavor."
Fatty Lumpkin's Sandwich Shack
Where it's located: 971 Washington Ave, Muskegon
What they offered: Kickin' Buffalo Chicken slider, Apple pecan chicken salad, Paddy McFaddy Slider, Sweet Potato salad.
What I tried: I decided to go with the Paddy McFaddy Slider. It was made with pastrami, corned beef, baby Swiss, homemade coleslaw and your choice of 1000 Island, Russian, Horsey Sauce or spicy brown mustard on brown bread. Like most things from Fatty Lumpkin's, the ingredients were very fresh. The taste was also unique and it had a nice crunch to it. I decided to try the brown mustard with my sandwich, but I could see how choosing other sauces would make for an entirely different experience. The sandwich cost three tickets.
What they said: Muskegon resident Travis Witte tried the Kickin' Buffalo Chicken Slider.
"I like Fatty Lumpkin's a lot," he said. "I like that is a small little place with a hometown feel. They have really good sandwiches. I get the Kickin' Buffalo. It's got a really good kick to it, the chicken is really good. It's always perfect. I just love it."

Good news on Parkinson's disease
February 6, 2012 - Steve Murch
I'm on some many email lists – wanted and unwanted – that sometimes it's difficult to find the interesting stuff and the necessary stuff, they both get lost in the endless supply of garbage. One of the things I don't subscribe to, but receive gladly, is the Remington Life Sciences News. Today's edition caught my eye with a story out of East Lansing.
This is incredible news. It's always encouraging when a debilitating disease like Parkinson's sees a major breakthrough in research or treatment. This time, it's the research taking the spotlight.
The press release states: "A team of researchers led by Basir Ahmad, a postdoctoral researcher at Michigan State University, has demonstrated that slow-wriggling alpha-synuclein proteins are the cause of aggregation, or clumping together, which is the first step of Parkinson's. The results are published in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Proteins, which are chain molecules composed of amino acids, do most of the work in cells. While scientists understand how proteins are structured, they do not yet know how they are built – a process known as folding. When errors happen in folding, proteins clump together, form plaques such as those found in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease, and cause cells to degenerate."
While this doesn't mean the disease is going to be eradicated tomorrow, it is encouraging news on progress being made. Let's hope the good news for scientific advancement in all diseases continues this year.

This week the Los Angeles Auto Show had its 100th annual exhibition at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In his keynote address on 11-29, Rick Wagoner, the Chairman and CEO of General Motors, congratulated the producers when he said "you have 'arrived' this year as one of the industry's top international shows."
This is more true than the distinguished Mr. Wagoner may realize. California is the home of automotive industry newcomers Tesla Motors in the Silicon Valley, and Phoenix Motorcars in California's southland. Tesla Motors is noteworthy because they have the backing of some of the wealthiest, smartest venture capitalists the Silicon Valley ever spawned, and they are using the already commoditized lithium ion batteries used in laptops, with extremely high energy densities, to power their 100% battery powered Tesla Roadster. Phoenix Motorcars is interesting because they have a supplier agreement with Altair Technologies, who claim they have a next-generation "nano-titanate" lithium ion battery that has faster recharging times and greatly reduced problems with heat management. Could the automotive industry's center of gravity be shifting from Detroit to California?
What we really were looking for when listening to the GM Chairman Wagoner deliver his keynote in Los Angeles was any indication that GM was going to deliver a series hybrid car, as rumor has it – read "The Series Hybrid Car is Here."
In Wagoner's keynote (read text here) he mentioned flex-fuel vehicles, E-85 gasoline, new hybrid vehicle roll-outs, even a plug-in hybrid! We like plug-ins, even now using nickel metal hydride batteries, because some of us only have 10-20 mile commutes, which means we can plug our hybrid cars into a wall socket each night and spend $.02 per mile using the electricity from the grid, instead of triple that cost when we charge our cars batteries using on-board gasoline. Read "Electric Car Cost per Mile" or "The 100% Battery Powered Car" for charts explaining the cost-per-mile savings of using grid electricity vs. gasoline.
We are extremely excited about series hybrid cars, because in this design the onboard gasoline engine is hooked only to an electric generator. This means it can operate at a constant RPM, which means it can attain up to 40% efficiency, far, far more than it can achieve when hooked to a drivetrain with constantly varying RPM and torque requirements. The efficiencies getting power from a generator through a battery pack and into an electric traction motor are surprisingly high. We believe the serial hybrid is potentially more fuel efficient than today's parallel hybrids, and we believe they are far, far less complex to build and maintain.
We were told, off the record, by a GM spokesperson only two days ago that GM is definitely going to have a serial hybrid concept car early next year. But the best we got on 11-29-2006 from Chairman Wagoner is the following: "GM is committed to the development of electrically driven vehicles that will help improve energy diversity, and minimize the automobile's impact on the environment… and, we'll follow today's announcements with additional announcements during the auto show season… including Detroit, in about six weeks." That's an enticing tidbit.
GM has gotten a bum rap by environmentalists. GM has tried everything; the experimental EV-1, sixteen generations of internally designed fuel cells, hybrids, flex-fuel; now plug-in hybrids. But if they don't come through (as they have hinted so far they will) with a serial hybrid car, which is the closest thing yet to a 100% battery powered car and eminently practical, someone in California is going to do it instead, and the automotive world's center of gravity will shift westward…

I think Ultimate Duck Hunting was recently released in the US. It's basically like the game 'Duck Hunt' from the NES, but obviously in much more detail. For more detail, visit the following link:

Also I'm looking into a fishing game, anyone have any suggestions?

St. Paul, MN (NNCNOW.com) -- At least 1,300 people were arrested for DWI to-date in December, according to preliminary DWI arrest information from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety.
In December, county sheriff's offices, municipal agencies and the Minnesota State Patrol are working overtime hours during a statewide 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' campaign in an effort to prevent drunk driving tragedies.
In the last five years, 651 people were killed in drunk driving crashes, 111 in 2011 alone.
Each year, nearly 30,000 people are arrested for DWI. In the last three Decembers (2009-2011), 28 people were killed in drunk driving crashes and 7,497 were arrested for DWI.
