The NucleoBond BAC 100 Kit is designed for purifying large DNA fragments such as cosmids, bacteriophage P1 clones, P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs), and bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), without phenol/chloroform extraction. The procedure takes less than 1 hour to isolate BAC DNA free from any kind of RNA, proteins, metabolites, dyes, or carbohydrates. After purification, all nucleic acids show absorbance ratios of A260/A280 as high as 1.8–2.0.
Low amounts of impurities, which often act as strong inhibitors for enzymatic processing, sequencing, transfections, transcriptions, etc., are removed completely.
NucleoBond Folded Filters, which are specially designed to eliminate the centrifugation step after the alkaline lysis step, are provided with the kit. Using the filters reduces hands-on-time and eliminates plastic waste common to other filtration systems. In approximately 10 minutes of unattended operation, complete removal of SDS and cellular debris from plasmid samples is achieved. NucleoBond Folded Filters do not induce shearing of large DNA constructs, such as PACs or BACs.
The patented anion exchange resin in the NucleoBond column is known to provide high-purity DNA equivalent or superior to that obtained by two successive rounds of CsCl ultracentrifugation. The plasmid purification procedure is performed in the absence of toxic material such as phenol, chloroform, ethidium bromide, or CsCl.

Russian Military to Examine Recruits for 'Gay Tattoos'
Russian military officials said they would subject recruits to a peculiar new examination: They will check for specific tattoos, which authorities claim could reveal whether the recruit is gay or straight, the British newspaper the Guardian reports.
The recruits will undergo the examination thanks to new technical guidelines issued from the Kremlin. According to the Defense Ministry's central administration, soldiers will be given a thorough physical examination for tattoos on their face, genitalia and buttocks. The department based the rules on a 2005 military psychology textbook.
"The reason for getting tattoos could indicate a low cultural or educational level," the textbook reads. "If an influence by external factors is determined, for example, persuasion or direct coercion, this indicates the malleability of the young man, his disposition to submit to another's will." Additionally, the book points out a number of signs that could lead to an "uncontrolled sexual behavior."
Some officers, however, object to the guidelines and call the examination ridiculous.
"I just physically can't so confidentially hold a discussion with each new recruit. The commanders do that anyway," an unnamed battalion chief assistant told the Russian media.. "What will they do, examine their genitals for any tattoos? And how will they ask about someone's first sexual experience? 'Hey, when did you have your first woman, rookie? Answer directly, no beating around the bush!'"
Most Russian citizens don't support same-sex relationships, but according to a 2007 UN report, homosexuality and male prostitution is common within the Russian army. Additionally, Russia does not recognized same-sex marriage and the military has implemented a policy similar to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" for dealing with gay service members.
Russia made international headlines this month after the country's government pushed for the "homosexual propaganda" bill to become a national law. Currently, the controversial legislation is implemented in St. Petersburg and a few other regions. The law can fine individuals up to $16,000 for providing minors with information that is defined as "propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism." It also bans holding public events to promote LGBT rights, the Associated Press reported. LGBT and civil rights groups around the world have criticized the measure and have called for Russia's government to nix it.

Taft College opens up with game against Cosumnes River
After taking a three-week hiatus, the Taft College women's basketball team swings back into action Saturday for its final non-conference skirmish.
The Cougars (5-9) travel to Sacramento to take on Cosumnes River (9-3) of the Big 8 Conference.
TC opens Central Valley Conference play next Wednesday when they host Reedley College (6-8) in the Al Baldock Cougar Sports Center.
Tip-off is at 5 p.m.
Head coach Tyrone Taylor said his team needed the time off after a grueling 14-game pre-conference campaign that included four tournaments. All 14 games were on the road.
"We needed some time off to just rest up," he said. "And it gives Erica (Evans) and Schalon (Baysinger) a little extra time to heal up."
Both players missed the last four games because of leg injuries.
Evans was averaging 18.6 points per game when she was injured Dec. 1 in the second game of the Hartnell tournament.
With those two out, center Bezait Anbesse and guard Zanoria Echols helped take up the slack.
"We put a lot of pressure on them to step up," Taylor said.
Anbesse, a 6-foot-2 sophomore center, is averaging 12.1 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. She has the second best field goal percentage among CVC players at 51.4.
Echols, a 5-9 guard/forward, is averaging 11.6 points per game.
Fresno City College is easily the favorite to win another conference crown. The Rams are 13-3 in pre-conference action and No. 1 in northern California.

The Diablo III Website has the promised status report on PvP in Diablo III. Word is the team deathmatch mode, which was deemed not ready to meet the launch date for the action/RPG sequel, is deemed still not ready for release. Jay Wilson explains Blizzard is "shelving" Team Deathmatch, citing a lack of depth to the experience and an unwillingness to balance classes to the extent required by such a mode. This is not preventing the addition of simple dueling in a version 1.07 patch promised for sometime after the new year, and he says they will continue to work the problem of what to offer in lieu of Team Deathmatch.

Posted on August 31, 2012
I hope you are poised to have your illusions shattered.
I really hate to do these sorts of things, you know. I prefer unshattered illusions, which is why I try never to tell a hopeful book bearer that the treasure he or she is showing me has a current market value of about fifty cents. I routinely growl as I price books which are dedicated to proving that Smurfs don't really exist or that vampire stories are simply a manifestation of the essential witlessness of our ancestors. I have met neither Smurf nor Vampire in my work, nor do I expect to. But there must be better ways to spend your time that smashing people's fantasies.
(By the way, I did have a book donation from a Hobbit once, but that's a whole nother blog.)
You are aware that this is Labor Day weekend, and that therefore the Newberry is closed. It is locked up. It is allowing some people to come in to have a wedding, but these people do not have any time to bring in your book donations. Please do NOT bring us any books this weekend, even if you did take one rainy day to clean out the middle bedroom.
The preceding paragraph should not shatter any illusions. Those of you who read–and that's a bunch of you–or who call on the phone know our message is "Please don't bring us any books between the Fourth of July and Labor Day." I have had any number of people call and start their conversation, "Now, I know you don't want any books until after Labor Day…."
The illusion I am poised to shatter is the one you may be cherishing about how delighted I will be to see you back the truck up to the dock on Tuesday. The Book Fair Room is cold, empty, and echoing, in your vision, and I have been weeping over the loneliness and lack of books. All that stands between me and flinging myself off the roof in despair is the knowledge that at 7 A.M. on Tuesday, September 4, you will be bringing me seventeen banana boxes filled with Book-of-the-Month Club gems from the 1950s PLUS your Encyclopaedia Britannica from 1946.
Did you hear the "whoooosh"? That's my hammer swinging around to shatter your illusion.
I'm kind of hoping there is not a steady stream of cars lining up at the dock come Tuesday morning. I'm working my way through the first installments of another celebrity donation (hint: one of the treasures is a rare record of a roast in his honor when he became Cook County Sheriff). Another donor sent me three boxes of World Book encyclopedias…including not one complete set. (She apparently mixed and matched volumes from the 1950, 1953, and 1956 editions.) There are seven boxes of neatly inventoried National Geographics. There was a box of vampire romances (none involving Smurfs), six boxes of art books, three of children's books, one of limited edition and slightly salacious tomes published a century ago, and one box of miscellaneous books welded together at the bottom by mold.
The last few months before the Book Fair were encumbered by seven large estates coming in in a six week period. Well, I have been granted five condos to empty in the first month of autumn. ("I know you can't come until after Labor Day, but I do have to be out by the sixth.")
What I'm saying, peanut butter pizza, is that if you expected to drop off books and see Uncle Blogsy come running to kiss you on both cheeks, I must shatter your illusion. I will of course welcome you with civility, in the belief that somewhere in the trunk of your car you may be concealing a Gutenberg Bible.
I might, certainly, come running up to you anyhow. If I see your station wagon loaded with banana boxes.

Huskers Hyped to Host Cyclones in Season Opener
Nebraska vs. Iowa State
Date: Oct. 12
Time: 10 a.m.
Location: Devaney Natatorium, Lincoln, Neb.
The Nebraska swimming and diving team opens regular-season competition with a home dual against Iowa State on Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Devaney Natatorim. The meet will begin at 10 a.m. CT, and fans have been asked to join the squad in support of breast cancer awareness by wearing pink to the event.
Last season's meet saw Nebraska's Bailey Pons win the 200- (1:53.56), 500- (5:00.71), and 1,000-yard (10:17.18) freestyles, leading the Huskers to a 176.5-122.5 victory over the Cyclones. Overall, Nebraska won ten of the meet's 16 events, improving to 32-4 all-time against Iowa State.
Saturday's dual will also be the first regular-season competition for the Cyclones, following their intrasquad dual held on Oct. 4. They will look for leadership from senior Imelda Wistey, who won both the 100- and 200-yard breaststrokes against Nebraska a season ago.
Following Saturday's meet, the Huskers will have two weeks to prepare for their first road trip of the season. The squad will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., on Oct. 26 to face the Arkansas Razorbacks in another nonconference matchup.
Check back in to Huskers.com for any and all updates regarding the Nebraska swimming and diving team, and follow Saturday's meet live at https://twitter.com/HuskerSwim with live tweets from @HuskerSwim.
Last Time Out: Record Alumni Turnout Highlights Annual Meet
A record 44 Husker alumni returned to the Devaney Natatorium on Saturday morning for Nebraska's tenth-annual Alumni Meet. The alumni were declared the victors after winning seven of the meet's 13 events.
Former Husker Mike Irvin won three events for the second-consecutive year, claiming the 100-yard individual medley and the 50- and 100-yard freestyles. The former All-American has competed in and won at least one event in all ten alumni meets.
Erik Wiken joined Irvin as the other multi-event winner for the alumni, taking the 25-yard freestyle and 50-yard butterfly titles. The two additional alumni victories came from Courtney (Jolly) Williams in the one-meter dive and the 200-yard medley relay team.
The 2013-14 Huskers got two victories apiece from junior Rebekah Land and sophomore Katie Ditter. Land won the 50- and 100-yard backstrokes, while Ditter swam her way to victory in the 50- and 100-yard breaststrokes.
The other two Husker victories came from Melisa Mexia in the 100-yard butterfly and the 200-yard freestyle relay team of Alex Bilunas, Taryn Collura, Bria Deveaux and Shannon Guy.
Last Time Vs. Iowa State: Huskers Cruise Past Coyotes, Down Cyclones
The Nebraska swimming and diving team defeated South Dakota (240-59) and Iowa State (176.5-122.5) in their dual meet that took place Friday afternoon at Iowa State's Beyer Pool.
Nebraska won eight of the fourteen individual events and both relays on Friday to take the dual meet victory and improve their record to 8-0 on the season. Junior Bailey Pons led the way for the Huskers, winning the 200-yard (1:53.56), 500-yard (5:00.71) and 1,000-yard (10:17.18) freestyles.
Senior Hayley Martin also stood out with wins in the 100-yard backstroke (57.02) and 100-yard freestyle (51.20). Additionally, Martin was a part of the winning 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relay teams.
Shannon Guy (100-yard butterfly), Payton Michaud (one-meter dive) and Kailey Harmon (three-meter dive) also added victories for the Huskers.
Junior Imelda Wistey led the way for Iowa State, winning the 100- and 200-yard breaststrokes, as the Cyclones defeated the Coyotes 246-53.

I came back home this week. I know that sounds funny but, that's what it feels like, 'cause I go to the fish. I spent the last two months spread out from Suwannee to Horseshoe Beach and the latest was Waccasassa Bay. These winters put a huge whoopin' on the fish in Cedar Key.
Me, being a 365 day/52 week charter captain, the last thing I need is an area to go dud on me. It's fun fishing different areas but it is awesome coming back to my backyard. I grew up right here in Cedar Key and really love my home waters. I love fishing back-water oyster bars and my biggest passion is fishing our barrier islands. I fish 40 miles north and 20 miles south of Cedar Key and there's nothing like our waters from March through November.
I had a double day. The other morning at daybreak, I met my first group at the ramp. We headed out into low, dark water. It had blown for a week (or something like that) and the water was a little slow to come back to high. But, as it did, the offshore water pushed in and cleaned up our flats and back country.
I fished inside and out to fill a ten fish limit, on the morning trip. We didn't have any big fish - just nice respectable keepers. But, we did have to work for it. We moved a lot and changed baits a few times. But, the ending was, we never caught a bunch nowhere but caught fish every-where. I really don't think we fished a spot and didn't catch at least one trout.
The afternoon trip was started by picking up five short reds. Then, we moved back to the grass flats. We ended up with nine keepers and had to use all the same tactics as the morning trip. It showed the same results - move a lot and catch a little each time.
I guess, as the winds lay and stop swapping directions three times a day, then maybe the fish will start to school up so going out and 80 to 100 fish days will happen again. The bait is there, the water is warming and the fishing season is underway.
Things to expect are: for the trout to get better and group up; to spend time on the shallow flats (three feet is a good number) and use soft, simple colored baits. The redfish will get better in all the creek mouths and outside bars. Shrimp with a bobber and gold spoons will work best. Also, in the next few weeks the lady fish, blue fish and Spanish macs will be more plentiful.
Basically, our waters will come ALIVE... Have fun and be careful with the hard winds.

Philadelphia High Schools to Install Free Condom Dispensers
When Philadelphia high school students return to the classroom after holiday break, many will find that school officials have installed free condom dispensers in order to fight what health officials call, "an epidemic of sexually transmitted disease in adolescents in Philadelphia", the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The dispensers will be placed in 22 schools across the city, specifically at schools where students have the highest rates of STDs. The only way students cannot access the free condoms is if their parents sign a document that opts them out of the program.
"Opt-out letters are to be maintained by the school office," Assistant Superintendent Dennis W. Creedon wrote in an email. "Students are to honor the wishes of their parents. If a student disrespects their guardian's directive, that is an issue of the home."
Since April 2011, when the city began giving away what has become more than four million condoms, STD rates finally have been dropping. Donald F. Schwarz, the deputy mayor for health and opportunity, says that HIV among high school students is still far too high, with 25 percent of new infections coming from Philadelphia teens.
"The reality is: Many of our teenagers, regardless of what adults think, are engaged in sexual activities," Mayor Michael Nutter told the newspaper. "Discussion about whether or not they should be sexually active is an appropriate discussion, but if they are, then we need to make sure they're engaged in safe sexual practices."
The free condoms will be available at a third of Philadelphia's high schools. Reactions have been mixed.
"I just can't imagine the parents of a 14-year-old being happy with this," Peg Devine, a school nurse at Lincoln High, which is not one of the schools with the condom dispensers. Schwarz, however, said, "if a teenager wants to use a condom, they should have access to a condom."
"We don't want kids to either not use them - have the dispensers and no one touches them - or to have hundreds of condoms taken and used inappropriately, for water balloons or something like that," Schwarz added. "But they'll be supervised." He went on to say that there is not going to be a campaign to promote the free condoms.
"We're going to allow word of mouth and the Internet and social media to start this off," Schwarz continued. "We don't want to make kids uncomfortable in any way, but we think it's an important intervention. We have a good track record here, and we're hoping to build on that, in a measured way."

This speaks for itself and probably should include E-10 as well. For me, it settles the long running debate that has been going on on this forum since the adoption of ethanol gas by the government. http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2000862202001/. This stuff is BAD for your car and lawn equipment and should not be used: Watch and heed and try and find a source for ethanol free fuel.
We have been discussing this for years yet the newscasters reporting this story act incredulous as if this is the first time they have ever heard of this problem or that the government could possibly require, by law, the use of something that is as harmful as E-15 (or E-10). The government would NEVER do that! Jim Patrick
PS. Here is a website that has been posted here on the forum many times before (but not recently) that one can go to to locate, by state and city, fuel stations that sell regular ethanol-free gasoline. For the sake of your gasoline motors it would behoove you to find a supplier of regular gas in your area and use it. www.pure-gas.org. Jim Patrick
Jim, my T has been sitting for 6 months while I've been playing with my Rambler. Normally, she would have been driven every couple weeks and I would top off the tank before I parked her.
Now, she won't start? I haven't had the time yet to dig into things but I'll bet it has to do with the lousy E10 gas. I'm going to drain the tank and pull the float bowl and I'll almost bet I find a water residue in them. Model T's will run on almost everything from kerosene to moon shine but they won't run on water.
As purchasing manager in charge of purchasing fuel for our dozens of vehicles for our railcar repair operations (pickup trucks, field trucks, trackmobiles, mobile cranes, tractors, gas operated welding machines, generators, lawn equipment, etc.), I began purchasing and having ethanol free gasoline delivered to our fuel depot in 2009. Thank goodness I did, for the few cents more I pay per gallon for regular unleaded, I have probably saved the company tens of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs and downtime which can mean the difference between getting the job done promptly and keeping the customer satisfied or losing customers by being unable to do the job because of equipment failure and going out of business. Jim Patrick
Sadly, there are those of us that have no choice in the matter, In in my area there is no other option other than what is sold to us.
My F-150 gets 16 MPG on the highway with gasoline, and 14.5 MPG with E-10. Driving 1600 miles with gasoline I consume 100 gallons of gasoline. If I use E-10, I consume 110 gallons, of which 100 gallons is gasoline and 10 gallons is ethanol. I therefore pay $3.30/gallon for 10 gallons of ethanol I might as well throw out the window and cannot even drink! I'm sure it takes several gallons of diesel fuel for the tractors and growing of this ethanol, so we are actually increasing our dependence on foreign oil by this stupidity. Ah, the government. They are just here to help us!
Will, I clicked onto NY at the bottom of the www.pure-gas.org link and found that Watertown, NY, is listed as having a station that sells ethanol free gas and is just 8 miles south of Evans Mills on Hwy 11. Jim Patrick
Bummer. I checked that site and the closest is about 125 miles away. Only 106 in the whole state of Texas and I would question half of those since the branding doesn't match what's being made by producers. Might be a good idea to call ahead and verify before making a special trip.
down here in Nazifornia the gas goes old in only 2 months. the stuff is terrible and has a skunky smell to it. so far i havent had a problem with it, but i worry about how little lubricating qualities it has.
Read the comments for listed stations. Some no longer have it or have other negative comments. I've found some errors in locations reported as having alcohol free gas that no longer have it. Some sell as a premium fuel. Almost all locations in Michigan are marinas. Some is sold as racing gas. $$$$ either way. Closest to me is about 24 miles.
Yesterday, for the first time in at least 7 years, I started a 5.5kw Generac Generator with B&S engine, with 1/4 tank of old fuel. It started on the second pull, and ran fine. I was relieved.
I'll be selling it and one like it, as storage is too expensive. We'll keep the third one, which is a 5kw Coleman.
Fortunately I have a marina, that sells alcohol free gas, only 3 miles from me. Unfortunately I paid just over $5/gal when I prepped the Jag for the winter hibernation. On my 1926 Touring it is just so convenient to drain, by gravity, the tank and the NH.
A marina will be very careful about making doubly sure to know what is in the gas they sell. Some boats have fiberglass tanks, and the alcohol has been known to dissolve the resins and cause leaks. the result could be a big bang, or at best a nice fire, and either way would result in a big money law suit.
I don't know what engine is in your Coleman, but if it is a Tecumseh, sell that and keep one with a B. & S. Tecumseh is out of business, and parts are becoming scarce.
Ricks,Roar is right on target.Techumseh will soon be a problem for alot of folks.Unless aftermarket folks really step up to the plate,parts will be scarce.They were used alot and would give ok service.But parts is going to be a problem.
If 1 of them doesnt put out 120,pm me and I will give a quick rundown of how to flash it so it will work.
Ebay was the ONLY source I had for a simple headgasket for my HH120 on my Suburban tractor.
No shop or parts house around here could get 1.
Thanks, guys. Hadn't thought to check that. These gens don't have over a dozen hours on them in 10 years.
Same warning up here..
National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada
NAACC takes a strong stand on the use of E15 Ethanol fuel
Report #85 January 2013
The NAACC does not support the use of Ethanol blended fuels. All blends of Ethanol are reported to cause serious damage to a variety of components in collector vehicles. The use of E10 causes deterioration in fuel lines, carburetors and fuel tanks.
� Vehicles that are stored with Ethanol blended fuel often sustain serious damage. The NAACC recommends that vehicles stored for any period of time be fueled with Shell 91 or Chevron 94 non alcohol blended fuel.
E 15 Ethanol fuel is a new product that is now being introduced to the public in the USA.
This fuel has NO redeeming features. It has been reported that if this fuel is used in vehicles older than 2012 that the vehicle will sustain serious damage to its fuel system. It is very corrosive and may also cause damage to engine pistons and valves because of detonation. This damage is caused by �Phase Separation� in the fuel itself.
The NAACC strongly recommends that you call up the following video. This report will leave no doubt as to the harmful effects of E15. Triple A (AAA) in the USA has also stated that this product is very harmful to your vehicle.
Please--Watch this video from Fox...if your CAR IS OLDER THAN 2012 you need to AVOID THE NEW E15 GASOLINE.
Most car companies including Ford, BMW, VW, Toyota, Honda, Kia, Mercedes, and Chrysler will not honor the warranty on your car if you use this new gasoline!!!
� Another side effect of the production of E15 is the rising cost of food. The summer of 2012 saw a serious drought in the mid west where crop yields were 15% less than normal. In the USA food costs will surely rise because there is a government mandate to provide 15% of the crop to corn squeezers for fuel. Canadian food prices will follow.
In our opinion the production of this product is not about the green movement and providing a cleaner planet. It is all about money and subsidies!
Thank you,
John Carlson
President/CEO, NAACC
Ricks, I fired up our generator last month just before the hordes descended for the holiday... just wanted to be sure the well could be kept pumping for showers and toilets no matter what. I had to replace the rotted fuel lines, and then it fired up on the varnish in the tank and ran fine.
I like to drain it and run the carb bowl dry. The T will run on that generator fuel, I keep a can of fuel to dump into the generator if needed. I try to remember dump the old fuel from the generator fuel can into my T every few months and refill the can with fresh. I guess I could go get some stabilizer if I wasn't so frugal (please don't change that word!). Those rotted lines were "alcohol resistant" lines. I suspect that the new hoses will rot whether or not you drain the tank. My generator has a shut-off valve which I always close just in case... and I try to keep a length of hose handy just in case!
I sent a link to this thread to a friend.
This is his comment:
"Ethanol is poor because it is low on energy and absorbs water. It is no secret as I knew about it 70 years ago. when it was used for racing. Also is crapped up our water injecton tanks in our P51 air-racer over the winter. The reason for it now is to hide the farm subsidy and make the taxpayers and everybody else pay for those subsidies without cutting the taxes. The reason for subsidies is to provide the city people cheap food to prevent rebellion . Strictly political.."
Chuck has been around a while and seen a lot.
Wednesday I started me '48 Nash for the first time since I put gas in it on the 4th of July.
It started right off and ran fine.
I drove it 30 miles and left it two days.
Today it started good and ran back just fine. There is a long hill half way there and I moved into the left lane, there are five, and passed all the slower moving stuff at about 70MPH. It ran fine.
I did not know we have ethanol in our gas.
the website shows only two with pure gas in all of Taxafornia.
I work on cars all the time that have two year old gas. I never see any problems in those car's fuel systems because of poor gas.
I live in Iowa. I do not farm. We have been using ethanol for probably close to 25 years now. I will admit that some cars get better fuel mileage on "straight gas", but that can be traced to slightly lower btu in alcohol compared to gasoline. There is no shortage of corn for the food supply. We export more corn out of the United States than we ever have in the past,(loosely translated, we have more corn than we can use). Here in Iowa, believe it or not, we drive the same cars that you do, because we buy them from the same place you do, Ford, General Motors, Honda, etc. We don't have any of the problems some of you folks attibute to alcohol. As for all that alcohol attracting water, well the next time your fuel line freezes up from using that "straight gas" that has gathered water, your mechanic will add an alcohol product to thaw the ice from the line. If you remember a product name "HEET" that was basically straight alcohol, well, we all use to carry a can or two in the trunk for that time in winter when our fuel lines froze up, well, I don't think you can even buy it here anymore, because we don't need it. And lastly, if you think that corn sells for $7.00 a bushel now because those ethanol plants are driving up the price corn and the price of corn flakes. The amount of corn in a big box of corn flakes costs about 17 cents, so I will leave it up to you to figure out where the rest of the cost comes from. Corn is like many other products now, it is a part of the global economy. You are competing with the rest of the world for a bushel of corn, that is why it now costs $7.00 a bushel. So, my 25 years of experience with ethanol, and being close, but not part of the farming commnity would lead me to caution you to research this issue a little farther. I think you will come to my conclusion if you approach it with an open mind and really do your homework. Ethanol is not going to hurt your car, new or old, and ethanol plants are not driving up the price of corn, the world market is.
If this stuff is so good for your car, why does it turn to rotten gas after only 2 months in my cars and lawn mowers? I have had problems over the last 3 years with bad gas after I park the cars and mowers for the winter. It never happened before in ANY car unless it sat for more than 5 years. The gas we buy now is worse than anything ever sold in the US.
MTBE was a refinery waste product until Union 76 convinced the govt it was a good fuel additive for cleaner air. Turns out it is disastrous for our ground water. I think it's outlawed now.
I just hope the dang stuff is properly labled so we dont get it by accident.
When they can make the fuel from grass and other plants besides our food source,it really dont make any sense.
Hey Mack,
Hang in there on that hope! My major at college is Biochemistry. The brother-in-law of my professor is one of the heads at a facility out west working on that kind of fuel. They're reproducing a bacteria that excretes oil as a bi-product. All you do then is filter out the oil, kill off the bacteria, multiply them again from another batch and do it all again. This process actually works and they've been making vats of useable oil now. All it takes is some water pools with some solar heating panels nearby to keep the bacteria at optimal bredding temperatures, and some food-stuffs for them. Hopefully this really catches on, because it's relatively cheap and the oil is very similar in structure to current crude oil. It can be processed down into gasoline.
I get concerned with the ethanol gas because I heard E-10 is not good for engines made previous to the late 80's or so. My main car is a 1979 Toyota Celic, so every time I gas up and see that "contains 10% ethanol, I cringe and apologize to my poor car.
Slightly OT: Techumsa's been bought out by some company (Don't remember the name), a lot of parts are available again.
The nearest thing to perpetual motion I've read about are the fish farms in Arizona's Gila River valley. They flood half the land, and raise Tilapia, a vegetarian fish, and feed them corn which they grow on the other half of the land. After a season, they swap the plots of land, and the corn is fertilized by what the fish dropped in the prior season.
I read about this 20 years ago. Dunno if it's still going on, or if cheap imported fish raised in sewage has dried up their market.
That is good news for parts Charlie.
Corn prices affect prices in the food chain for both people and animals. If ethanol was not subsidized by the government, corn based ethanol would virtually disappear. The demand for corn for ethanol has driven up the price of corn since it became subsidized. A further increase in corn prices was caused this year by drouth. Turning a food crop into motor fuel in my view is stupid, especially when you and I subsidize it twice, once when the farmer is paid and then again in the reduced fuel economy achieved in our vehicles.
The only redeeming quality of ethanol in fuel is it eliminated the use of MTBE in gasoline formulations. As little as 2 ppb of MTBE in ground water and you can taste it. When it gets in ground water as it has in many places, there is no way to get rid of it.
Which brings me back to a question I posed when I first started posting here a couple years ago - what's better, the Premium E-10-free gas I have available to me or the E-10 regular?
Some of you recommended avoiding the E-10-free premium because there was a danger of harming the motor with the higher compression that would come with it.
What are your thoughts these days?
Which car, Danial?
It's in regard to my 27 coupe, Ralph.
I am sorry but this reminds me so much of the Chicken Little Story about how the sky is falling! If you folks would please, please, talk to any of your friends here in the midwest who have used ethanol for years now, you would see, that the only part of this thread that is true, is the part about federal subsidies. Ture, if it were not for federal subsidies, ethanol would not be able to compete with regular gasoline. But the rest of it is just not true.....
I still do not understand why alcohol should be a problem as described here.
But then - if drinking beverages with 10 or 15 or even 85% of alcohol can also be damaging to your health! So who knows!
(and THAT is a scientific fact!)
High octane gasoline will not damage a Model T engine. It just costs more. If you are going to drive it either is just fine.
Modern gasoline does not store well, so if your car is going to sit up for more than a month, its best to drain the tank and carburetor.
After running everything I own on E-10 for the last ten years, I'm still waiting for the damage. And the can for the mower fuel only gets filled once every year or two and yet the B&S engine always starts first go.
I think the point that some folks are missing is simply this.You see the decal on the pump that says it "MAY" contain up to 10% ethenol.That does not mean that every pump has exactly 10%.Those that are getting gas from a pump marked as such and are so happy things are going well,may not be getting but 2.4%.Who knows?
You may have a point Mack but I've gotten gas all over the U.S. and western Canada and never had an issue whether the gas was fresh to me or sat over the winter in a car or fuel can. I'm not brand picky and shop by either convenience or price depending on how the spirit moves me.
Some day I may have a problem but no trouble so far. Fingers stay crossed.
@ Ted - Those were my original thoughts Ted, but a number of people made strong suggestions to the opposite when I first posted on the subject here a couple years ago - the chief concern was that the Model T 4-banger just wasn't built to withstand the higher compressions that premium gas would bring.
I would much rather burn non-ethonal for a variety of personal reasons if I can get away with it.
Regarding the phenomenon of "phase separation discussed in the video, whereby the ethanol separates from the gasoline and goes to the bottom of the tank where the end of the intake line is located. What is to keep the ethanol from separating in the service station tanks where we pump it into our cars or in the tank trucks that deliver it or the storage tank farms where it is stored. Also, since the ethanol absorbs water, and the water also sinks, it is entirely possible that the E-10 or E-15 you are pumping into your car is composed of mostly ethanol and water with the majority of the very low, inferior octane gasoline suspended above it. Unless the tanks are equipped with an agitators to stir and keep the ethanol suspended, phase separation is a real concern that only make this nightmarish fuel even worse! JIm Patrick
May I once again remind everybody of an old time mitigation of condense water in your tank:
Add some ethanol as it will mix well with the petrol and it will absorb the water and both will together with the petrol be combusted in the engine.
It may not be 10 or 15% of course but just 2-3% (1 liter to a 30 - 50 liter tank). It worked back then - why should it not work now (regarding the water issue)?
And Jim are right - if separation was indeed an issue it would be in the gas tanks and in other storage facilities and give all sorts of problems.
There is just too much hear-sagen in this.
Now I looked up the density of ethanol and petrol in Wikipedia (the danish - sorry):
Ethanol's density is 0,789 and petrol from 0,71 - 0,77 - probably dependent on additives and other qualities. Of course if it absorb water, the Ethanol/Water mix will be more dense, but the difference in density is very very small. One thing that may prevent separation is the two substances willingness to blend. Oil and Water will separate (petrol and water will too), but ethanol mix well with petrol.
I admit that separation may be possible if the car sit for very long time.
Premium gas does not raise compression or burn any hotter than regular gas. It just has a higher octane rating so it can be used in high compression engines without knocking. As the gas air mixture is compressed its temperature rises, a knock occurs when this higher temperature ignites the mixture prematurely. Diesel engines are designed so that the compression is very high and ignites the fuel air mixture. In other words, they are designed to "knock" and are quite noisy as you know.
I agree with you, if I could get ethanol free gas for my Model T,I would use it.
Ted - I think what Danial meant was that the availability of premium (higher octane) gasoline would encourage engineers to develop higher compression engines.
1 point made clear to me is when I went out to Oklahoma in 08 I filled up here at a local station that was non ethanol
I got allmost 600 miles out of those 2 tanks of fuel but when I filled up in Tennesee,I did not get that range again the entire trip.
Therefore I may not testify to the cornstarch that some get in their carbs and such,but I can say,it didnt help my gas mileage a bit.so how it is feeseable in the long run,danged if I know.
I reckon if horse pee was combustable we would raise horses for fuel?
They would eat corn and make wiz then we would transport and process it and it would cost us way more in the long run that gas,but Hey we are burning horse wiz! oh BOY!
Btw,I am fighting the flu,so my mind and spelling aint the best tonight!

Lifecycle management company White Source has presented new research that claims to be able to quantify the degree to which open source components depend on other open source libraries, especially where multiple different licenses are involved.

- Overview: Cloud Operations Platfom for AWS

- Mobile Content Management: What You Really Need to Know
According to the research, in 91% of software projects some of the open source components imported by developers contained additional dependencies that were brought in by those components. More so, in 65% of the cases, open source components bring with them additional dependencies that are subject to a different license.
It is true that many software developers often rely on open source components, and most are actively tracking the licenses of these components to control potential risks and to ensure compliance with their requirements.
White Source claims that its survey shows that many developers only track and account for the components that they are using directly, so they are missing the libraries that these components depend on. Since the dependencies often use different licenses, they often overlook substantial risks and compliance requirements.
The company suggests that when lacking proper tools that detail all dependencies, developers are "almost surely" missing the large chain of open source libraries that are automatically imported with the open source components they use. As a result, decision makers are often not provided with full information, compliance is lacking, and risks are not properly accounted for and managed.
An exacerbating factor is that most companies rely on manual or semi-automated processes to research and report open source components and licenses, and often use static documents to track these. As a result, not only is it difficult and tediously laborious to identify dependencies and their licenses, it is also impossible to track changes over time. For example, an open source project that adds features and uses new dependencies to do so. It doesn't help that open source tracking is not a task that developers are fond of, to say the least.
"Correctly tracking and updating the open source inventory down to the last dependency is one of the most tedious and least favorite tasks for developers. Due to its complexity, it is almost never done properly, and most organizations rely on incomplete, stale, and often incorrect information," says White Source CEO Rami Sass.
According to a recent White Source research, based on 473 real software projects: the average software project contains 64 open source dependencies, and an average of 8 different open source licenses; 37% of all open source components depend on other open source libraries. The most complex software project had 1917 open source dependencies and most projects were subject to multiple licenses, with the maximum recorded at 26 licenses.
"White Source automatically identifies any new open source component that is added by a developer, and then immediately presents the entire dependency tree, down to the last library and license. We keep the information current, so we can notify customers of changes to existing components. As such, White Source enables customers to be on top of their entire open source inventory and licenses, all the time, while also relieving developers from the need to research and document all this information," said White Source's Rass.

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — A Moses Lake ranch family is featured in advertisements promoting the beef industry in the run-up to the Sept. 28 Washington State University football game that will be played in Seattle.
It was a natural fit. Greg and Jen Rathbun both attended WSU and grew up rooting for the Cougars.
"I remember listening to the Cougars on the radio when I was a really little kid, all my years on the tractor," Greg Rathbun said. "When the school you went to and have always rooted for calls and says, 'Hey, do you want to help us promote a football game?' your first inclination is 'Yeah.' That's not hard."
The Rathbuns are in the Washington Beef Commission's "Beef — It's What's For Tailgating" promotion leading up to WSU's game against Stanford University.
The promotion includes a four-week digital and radio advertising campaign. Consumers are encouraged to go to Quality Food Centers (QFC) stores and buy beef for the "season of tailgating."
The Rathbuns serve as a "Cougar spokesfamily," said Patti Brumbach, executive director of the Washington Beef Commission. In Seattle, they record tags to radio advertising and announcements that play in 70 QFC stores in Western Washington.
"It's a perfect marriage," Brumbach said of the Rathbuns. "They bring a really articulate, beef-producing ranching family that are Coug fans. They're a great face for our industry."
The Rathbuns volunteer their time for the promotion, Brumbach said.
The $180,000 promotion makes about 20 million consumer impressions during the four-week period.
Last year, total beef sales increased 7.5 percent and sales of promotion partner Certified Angus Beef increased 23 percent at QFC stores during the promotion, compared with the same period the previous year, Brumbach said.
Funding for the promotion, including advertising on 13 radio stations, internet music site Pandora and digital advertising, comes from checkoff dollars.
The Rathbuns had previously helped promote Certified Angus Beef.
"To tell a family story in beef production is an easy thing for us to do," Greg said. "I think it's very important the consuming public get to hear the family story."
Greg attended WSU in the early 1990s and Jen in the mid-1990s. The Rathbuns married in 1996 and moved their certified Angus ranch to Moses Lake from the Tri-Cities area in 2000.
The ranch is 12,000 acres and has a base herd of about 500 head.
They have three children: Abby, 13; Tell, 9; and Taggart, 5, who also participate in the promotions.
The promotion falls during the ranch's busiest time, preparing for its sale, and takes about 2 1/2 days. They participated in a photo shoot and drove to Seattle to record the radio and grocery store spots. They also will drive to Seattle for the game.
"It's not really something you chalk up as a chore," Greg said with a grin.
Greg said the promotions also offer the ranch name recognition.
Marty Northcroft, assistant athletic director for marketing and promotions at WSU, said the promotion is an opportunity to connect with a broader audience.
"Ranchers really embody the qualities we want from our student-athletes," he said. "Hard workers, people that are willing to get their hands dirty and work hard. It's a connection to us that makes sense."
On game day at CenturyLink Field, 130 farmers and ranchers will distribute meatball kebabs as part of the promotions. There is also a "Punt, Pass, Kick" contest during half-time. Cattle feeder and former WSU football player Will Derting and the Washington Beef Commission chairman also reward the best tailgating set-up with beef during the game.
"We don't always win the game, but it sure is a great community event," Brumbach said.

Pappis, Jhappis and Thappads…
Oh me, oh my… Phase 3 of the Great Indian Circus is over, and there are so many people one feels like giving jhappies, pappies and thappads to. Let's start with a pappi. Mine is reserved for the Princess of India, Priyanka Gandhi ( forget all the Vadra-Shadra business – Gandhi she was, and Gandhi she remains).Clearly, the Congress backed the wrong Gandhi. Rahulbaba, the Dimpled Darling is sweet and likeable ( gelato or jalebi ? You decide). But Rahulbaba is not a patch on Princess Priyanka when it comes to people skills. She is a natural crowd pleaser, and her brother is no match for her when it comes to handling trick questions or diffusing tense situations. See how deftly Priyanka dodged Narendra Modi's Budhiya\Gudiya barb, or deflected criticism aimed at the P.M. Unlike her mother's scripted speeches and rehearsed responses, Priyanka speaks minus prompting or notes, adopting an endearingly direct approach that disarms her most virulent critic.Her naughty reference to her grandmom's nose must have brought an instant smile of recognition to several faces. Which raises the million dollar question - why did Sonia push Rahul the reluctant debutant into the fray, when Priyanka ought to have been the obvious choice? Maa ki mamtaa? A mother's blind spot for the beta? It may remain one of those annoying mysteries. Can, Rahul, the nominated heir to the Gandhi gaddi ever deliver? How long is the seat going to be kept hot for the political greenhorn?Meanwhile, let us throw in an extra pyar ki jhappi for the charming sis who campaigned convincingly, sincerely and tirelessly for the son who may or may not rise. Priyanka's theme song should be , "Pari Hoon Mein…"
There are far too many thappads waiting to be distributed ( though chappals are easier). Somehow, the sight of Jaswant Singh got everybody's goat as he went about recklessly supporting demands for a separate Gorkhaland. This, after distributing notes and sharing opium jalpaani with the unwashed masses of his constituency. Equally annoying was the sight of Karunanidhi on a hunger strike, after all that scarey double speak about Prabhakaran being his best buddy. Both men were playing a dangerous political game with potentially lethal consequences at a particularly sensitive time in the country. Behenji Mayawati may have spurned Sanjay Dutt's offer to give her one of his specials and threatened to throw the actor into jail for his audacity. But better a jhappi from Sanju Baba than thappads from those who are still reeling from her tongue lashings. Strange, but Mayawati still remains the number one player in the race, with all eyes on her every move. Being a master at the numbers' game, she, along with Amma in the South, may topple all the Kingmakers around, and become the pivots around whom India's future revolves.
No matter how it all adds up in the end ( forget the bookies – this time everything is up for grabs, including the prime ministership), the just concluded Phase -3 of the election, has rightfully grabbed world attention on the basis of sheer scale alone. Just the logistics involved in putting the complex machinery into place and conducting such an ambitious operation sans a major hemorrhage, is worth countless jhappies, pappies and more.Every single cog in this gigantic wheel deserves our unconditional praise. Of course, there will always be glitches when the task is as monumental. But let us be more generous and forgiving about lapses – so far, at least, nothing terribly embarrassing has happened. And for the most part, voting has taken place in comparative peace and safety. Enough to generate genuine shock and awe.
When India votes, the world holds its breath. With reason. It is democracy at work in its most naked avatar – look ma, no hands. Behind the maneuvering, the votes-for-notes, and several other dirty machinations, there is still a great deal of transparency, innocence and hope. If millions of Indians turn out to get that black dot on the middle finger, it is because they continue to believe that their vote matters. There is an unbreakable bond of trust that makes the exercise not just worthwhile but worthy. As we continue our tryst with destiny, the only prayer is that the 543 people getting into parliament,who will be controlling it from this point on,will uphold the faith of over one billion people. It is a huge responsibility….but also a huge obligation.More importantly, it is a pact that must never be broken.India itself deserves that jadoo ki jhappi. Now more than ever.
This appeared on Sunday.... and look how far the Dimpled Darling has come since then. The Rahul Factor seems to be the only factor being discussed across channels.... and opposition members are frothing at the mouth denying any deal in the offing. Nothing is impossible in politics - left becomes right, right becomes left, left and right become the centre. The kite flying and horse trading have just begun.
Tomorrow will see me at the screening of last year's Cannes winner, " The Class." I am so looking forward to it... and the award winning films that will follow. The long, hot summer has yet to begin... but most of us are baked and broiled already. The glorious gulmohurs are in full bloom - wild bursts of flaming red at unexpected corners. The air is heavy with the heady fragrance of summer blossoms - raat ki rani, chameli, mogra, jui, champak. I can't resist buying half-a-dozen gajras at traffic signals. I dream of eating malai kulfi and drinking khus\rose sherbet. Summer can be sensuous and enjoyable - if only it wasn't so bloody hot!!

I showed her a video (10 questions) and she looked visibly uncomfortable, and got a little upset. Oh well at least she has something to think about for a couple days.
The problem with her specific case is its basically cult Christianity.
Basically this is the only church and all the other Christian churches are wrong.
1. If you are not a member of the church you will go to hell.2. If you do not attend the worship service twice a week (yeah twice for these guys for more money I guess) you will go to hell.3. "SUBMIT" to the church administration "appointed by god"

MrFriday,How long have you been working on your wife?
Quote from: JT114881 on July 10, 2009, 03:05:44 AMMrFriday,How long have you been working on your wife?The answer to that may seem more discouraging than anything I said before. I've been working on my wife about theism for about 18 years.
Josh: what does this sayJosh: i dont understand itJosh: 1 Corinthians 14 34. Ang mga babae ay magsitahimik sa mga iglesia: sapagka't sila'y walang kapahintulutang mangagsalita; kundi sila'y pasakop, gaya naman ng sinasabi ng kautusan. 35. At kung ibig nilang maalaman ang anomang bagay, magtanong sila sa kanilang asawa sa bahay; sapagka't mahalay na ang isang babae ay magsalita sa iglesia.Therry: its like woman should obey husband like thatTherry: duh you listend to the doctrinesTherry: just the sameJosh: but it says something about women not being able to speak in churchJosh: right?Therry: i already explained duhJosh: i wasnt sure if it said the same thing as the english version wowJosh: god said women cant speak in churchJosh: The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.Josh: If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.Therry: didnt i told you to SEEK a MINISTERTherry: if EVERYTHING IS UNCLEAR TO YOUJosh: its not unclearJosh: its clear that women aren't allowed to speak in churchTherry: God made the bible not literal for all people to know what is really meant by all the phrases words he said (sorry her english isn't perfect)
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
[ cut and paste ]Re: Zeitgeist movieI liked parts of that movie, but I put it in the same category as other sensationalist movies; entertainment.The folks at The Atheist Experience have a blunt commentary with some references that you can look into that basically cover my take on the movie.http://atheistexperience.blogspot.com/2008/12/unofficial-atheist-experience-response.htmlThere are plenty of things to say about theism in general, and Christianity specifically, that can be backed up with solid evidence. Zeitgeist raises some issues that have been investigated, though I disagree with many of the details in it as well as the conclusions.
A better movie is the documentary The God Who Wasn't There(IMDB link) by Brian Flemming. (Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwcanoniccom-20&index=blended&link_code=qs&field-keywords=The God Who Wasn't There&sourceid=Mozilla-search )While Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris appear in it, pay attention to a couple of the less public people in it such as Robert M. Price and Richard Carrier. Carrier has gone head to head with
. Robert Price has a podcast called "The Bible Geek" where he is open to any question. Both are professors and have published quite a few good books.The main point of that movie outrages many Christians;There is no -- zero, zip, zilch, nada, ... -- record of Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible till well after he had supposedly died.Nobody noticed him while he supposedly was alive.Nobody wrote about him when he was supposedly alive.Yet, when asked for a single bit of evidence that shows that is not the case, they come up empty handed.Note that I do not say that there absolutely is no possibility that there was a Jesus Christ as roughly described in the Christian Bible. Carrier does, but his argument is one that even he admits requires quite a bit of specialized research.That said, as a mere mortal, the silence is deafening. You would think that if a god walked the Earth, that someone would have written a note home about it, let alone some local officials or interested historian.So, if you introduce her to that idea, I recommend keeping it simple; nobody wrote about Jesus till well after he had supposedly died.That said, there are lists 'proving' Jesus lived, and they tend to use valid historians. The important detail, though, is that none of them were writing (many were not even alive) at the time Jesus supposedly lived. (Also, some of the words are considered forgeries -- additions -- such as those by Josephus about Jesus.)

Happy Birthday to Nehru!
I think he was one of the most under appreciated Prime Minister of India and in a way, we owe the shining moments that we see in India to his policies of insisting on higher education in India.
What a delightful picture!

What: Open house public presentation of a draft of proposed updates to the Environmental Resources Element of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan
When: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6
Where: Boulder County Courthouse's third-floor hearing room, 1325 Pearl St., Boulder.
Further information: The proposed comprehensive plan language is available online, at http://bouldercounty.org/property/build/pages/bccpupdate.aspx. For more information, or to comment on the proposal, contact the Land Use Department's Bill Davidson at 303-441-3930 or the Parks and Open Space Department's Justin Atherton-Wood at 303-678-6273. Or, email Davidson at email@example.com or Atherton-Wood at email@example.com.
BOULDER -- Residents are being invited to a Wednesday night open house where they can review and make suggestions about a set of proposed revisions to the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan's decades-old goals and policies about protecting, conserving and restoring ecosystems and distinctive natural features.
The comp plan is a document that county planner Bill Davidson said "forms the policy basis" for county land-use and development rules and regulations as well as other county programs and policies.
The county is in the process of updating several sections of the 35-year-old comp plan, including its "Environmental Resources Element."
Representatives of the county's Land Use Department and the Parks and Open Space Department will present a draft of that proposed update to the comp plan's environment section, and will be soliciting people's comments about that draft language during a 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday open house on the third floor of the Boulder County Courthouse, 1325 Pearl St., Boulder.
Davidson noted that one of the "guiding principles" the county Planning Commission adopted last year for considering future revisions to the comprehensive plan says that Boulder County will "encourage and promote the respectful stewardship and preservation of our natural systems and environment by pursuing goals and policies that achieve significant reductions in our environmental footprint."
The proposed Environmental Resources update to the plan addresses such issues as the preservation and protection of critical wildlife and plant habitats, wetlands and riparian areas, prominently visible natural landmarks, and natural or restorable forests, shrublands, grasslands and agricultural landscapes.
One of the goals in the rewrite of the comp plan's Environmental Resources Element states that in order to manage its natural resources, "Boulder County shall encourage the following: the allowance of natural processes to occur; the reintroduction of natural disturbances" such as "fire and grazing; the maintenance or reintroduction of native species' the restoration of degraded resources; the elimination of undesirable non-native species; efforts to minimize human impacts; and the development of long-term ecological programs.:
Another goal in the proposed update says Boulder County will eliminate or minimize "air, water, soil and noise or light pollution and inappropriate development in natural hazard areas" -- "to the greatest extent possible, in order to prevent potential harm to life, health and property and to reduce incremental degradation of the overall environment."
The draft update also states that "Boulder County recognizes that climate change is having significant impacts on our natural resources."
It adds that "as the body of climate science knowledge grows and potential effects (such as) increasingly severe weather and increased fire and flood frequency are better understood, Boulder County shall modify plans and policies to adapt to environmental changes and to reduce potential adverse impacts on environmental resources."
Boulder County's Parks and Open Space Advisory Committee and the County Planning Commission are expected to schedule their own reviews of the proposed revisions to the comp plan's environment section -- including public comments about the county staff's draft language -- within the next few months.

SARTA provided more rides last year than any year in its history. The total —2,691,025 — represents an increase of more than 32,000 from the previous year.
Operating a smartphone while patiently waiting for a bus, Canton resident Edwin Palmer is the kind of guy who helped the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority to a record-setting year in 2013.
After working a morning shift at the Piada restaurant in Jackson Township, Palmer was in SARTA's Belden Village Transit Center in the 4700 block of Whipple Avenue NW, Plain Township, waiting to catch his ride home.
"It is cheaper than putting gas in a car every week or every day," the 24-year-old said.
SARTA provided more rides last year than any year in its history. The total —2,691,025 — represents an increase of more than 32,000 from the previous year.
"Our ridership increases seem logical," said Kirt Conrad, SARTA's executive director. "As the employment goes up, the ridership goes up. We think we are transporting 5,500 employment trips a day."
The area where Palmer was waiting is the service zone where SARTA saw its largest increase in ridership. Conrad attributes that to the heavy commercial activity of Jackson Township, plus the presence of Stark State College.
The bus agency's Route 120 bus goes through a portion of the Jackson Township retail and commercial area, and the campus with Stark State and the Kent State University Stark.
Ridership on Route 120 jumped about 9 percent — from about 91,000 in 2012 to 99,000 — in 2013.
"It is almost a third of our (yearly) increase," Conrad said. "It is one of the busiest routes we have."
SARTA's Route 81, which runs from its downtown Canton Cornerstone Transit Center to and from the downtown Akron transit center operated by Akron Metropolitan Regional Transit Authority, also stops at the Belden Transit site. That allows Stark State students from Akron to use the bus system.
"A lot of our students do ride SARTA," said Irene Motts, public relations officer for Stark State College. "We are having a lot of our students coming from Summit County. I would say in the last three years we have increased from 20 percent (from Summit County) to 28 percent."
Public transit agencies statewide are seeing ridership increases, according to Judith Will Fleming, executive director of the Ohio Public Transit Association.
"There is a trend, ridership is up," Will Fleming said. "People are taking public transportation because it is more economical than using a car. There are probably a lot of people that can't afford to drive a car."
Such is the case with another regional public transit authority, the Youngstown-based Western Reserve Transit Authority.
"Our ridership has gone up significantly over the past 12 months," said Jim Ferraro, executive director of Western Reserve Transit Authority. "We have had some significant months. Some months we are as much as 18 to 20 percent higher in ridership. We have some riders that are transit-dependent, which means they don't have many choices."
Another urban-based transit agency, the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority, saw its ridership dip in 2013 after a period of growth.
"We had been (growing) until 2013," said Mark Donaghy, executive director. "Then we leveled out. We went down 2 percent by the end of the year. We had a couple good years after the recession. The economy kind of flattened out here."
SARTA changed from a Canton-area transit system to a countywide service provider in the late 1990s.
Ridership fees — the base fair is $1.50 per ride — represent one revenue stream for SARTA. There's also a 0.25 percent countywide sales tax voters renewed in 2011 for a five-year cycle.
The sales tax brings in "between $13 million and $14 million (annually)," Conrad said.
While the bus route serving Jackson Township may be a strong performer for SARTA, the steady has been Route 102. The 102 follows a straight path along state Route 172 between downtown Canton and downtown Massillon.
"It is the busiest one in the system," Conrad said. "I think we take 2,200 a day. It has a solid anchor on either end. A lot of people want to go to downtown Canton and downtown Massillon."
On some of the heavily traveled routes, SARTA has increased the frequency of trips.
"One thing we have been able to do is add some more trips on our busiest routes," Conrad said. "For example with the main trunk lines, instead of a trip every hour, some have a trip every half hour."
And ridership continues to grow.
"We have been seeing steady increases every year," Conrad said. "Public transit is kind of a cultural thing. It takes some time to get used to it. It just becomes more and more accepted."

I guess Jones probably won't find his mojo this game unless he comes off the bench.
Awesome job, EK! I especially like the "Body Type" field.
hey maybe the new Game thread poster will bring some good luck to the dodgers!!!
Speaking of people coming off the bench, what the hell is Juan Pierre doing starting in the leadoff role again, when we LOSE every time he does this???
Let's go JP. Draw a walk, buddy.
2-out double from Kemp. Let's increase Carlos' 6+ ERA...
Kent does just that with RBI single. It went from 6.35 to 6.58. Dodgers up 1-0.
Wow, a first-inning score. Nice.
As I watch this on Gameday, I wonder: why is it necessary to make the batters translucent?
Hello Orel.
23 pitches for Villanueva in the first inning.
Hey guys. Missed the Dodgers scoring because I was picking up my new laptop (yay!). Good for us for getting on the board early. Now let's hope Penny doesn't have a meltdown.
Hi EK. Maybe in case a pitch breaks beyond the border of the batter's outline?
Congrats, Erin! Mac or PC? I'm guessing Mac.
1-0 Dodger lead after half inning. Now let's hope Brad Penny is BP in initials only.
Howdy Erin. Nice laptop.
I guess it's so when a pitcher throws to a same-handed batter, we can see the origin of the pitch.
2 pitches, 1 out. I like it.
3 pitches, 2 outs. I like it.
Holy crap - we scored first in a game - what next Jones hits a home run???
Has there ever been a baseball player named Casper?
8 pitches, 3 outs. Yeah!
Why do you ask Orel?
1-2-3 inning for Penny - we need a quality outing from him today.
Oh, part of the translucent thing. let me look it up.
According to Baseball Reference, three minor leaguers with the last name, and three major leaguers, none of whom have played since 1932. One had it as his first name, the other two as their middle names.
If you are talking about ghosts, then maybe it is Andruw Jones and his translucent batting average.
And Penny has lowered his ERA from 4.79 to 4.69. Cy Young on the way, baby!
Oh, and yes, I got a Mac. I've never owned a PC. We've had Macs in my family for as long as I can remember. You know me too well already, Orel.
But I'm not on the new one yet. I have work to finish on the old one before I'm allowing myself to play with the shiny new one.
The only Casper I remember off the top of my head was Casper Asbjornson. If memory serves, he played for the Boston and Cincinnati from 1928 to 1932 and had a career BA of 0.235.
But let me check baseball-reference.com to verify...
No, I was mistaken. His lifetime BA was 0.237, not 0.235. I've never been good with remembering stats.
I guessed correctly! What are the odds?
AC, I would be happy with Jones having a translucent batting average as long as it was over 0.200.
Anyone watching on TV? Did we try to turn two there?
Hey EK, what's Spanish for "other side"?
I'm watching on TV. They went straight to second, no throw to first.
Spanish: "el otro lado."
Ball was hit too slow to Kent for the DP, Plus with Prince barreling into Hu, he probably couldn't see first around him.
AC, ha!
Thanks Erin. I gotta run, so I'll see you on el otro lado!
Yes. Orel, why do you ask about the other side?
Oh, I see.
EK do you use MLB.com for gamecast or another site? There was just a commercial for MLB.com and they said that there are video highlights close to when the play happens. Woohoo! Penny gets out of the jam.
Good pitching so Penny. Now get a hit.
AC - I use mlb.com gameday. I do notice a tab saying 'Video'. I will check it out...
Hey Pierre on 2nd after an infield hit and an error.
that gameday video feature rocks my world!
Hello, everyone.
p.s: Erin, congratulations for your brand new mac, way to go!
Hey AC - the video highlights work! It has one of Kent's RBI. Thanks for the heads up.
Epale Karina.
Yes, I have a feeling the video feature will begin to rock my world, at least in comparison to the normal Gameday
WOOHOOO!!! Kemp with a RBI single!
Epale Karina, and thank you. The best news is that I paid for half of it in cash, so it is far less disturbing to look at my credit card bill right now.
Glad to see that it works - now go beg for 20 bucks a month for mlb tv. (and no I do not work for mlb and will not get commission).
RBI single for Kemp! I wonder when that highlight will be up.
It is amazing how spoiled we get. 15 years ago I was happy when they started an 800 phone number you could call for recorded updates of the games updated maybe every 30 minutes. Now I complain about that Gameday has a 30-second delay.
...not to mention translucent batters.
i was about to point enthusiastically Dodgers are 2-0. But i'm very afraid.
Eric: awesome work with the grid.
Erin, you know your brand new mac is worth every single cent you've paid.
Thanks Karina! They are fun to make when I have the time.
Was that number 888 tell me? Those were the days...
AC, was Penny's 2nd pitch to Kendall in the dirt? On Gameday it sure looks like it.
I agree - the macs are great - I am on my second. Plus it plays mlb tv without a hitch (again, I don't get a commission, I swear.)
At least you had a phone number to call. I had to wait a couple of days to know the score of a game played monday, if available.
Penny's pitch was fastball high and tight, Kendall had to duck and was a little pissed. After the K, he was staring at Penny as he walked to the dugout.
I have the theory once you're used to a mac, there's no looking back.
Martin is having some problems with the stolen bases. That throw was on the other side of the base.
I hope there is not a brawl since i can't watch it. I'm watching Seattle-Texas on the tv, same pitching match as last week. let's see what happens there.
Wait a couple days for the result? Man that must have sucked.
If anyone likes comics and mac / pc, you should check out the youtube marvel / dc parody. Pretty funny.
Damn, Steroid boy with the RBI single.
And I thought espn.com Gamecast's 1-day delay was bad...
Brewers announcers bagging on Pierre's weak ass arm too.
Kemp's RBI single is now up on video. Man, they are pretty quick, but in a few years I'll probably be upset they don't have the video up before the play happens.
Yeah, I've been using Macs for as long as I can remember, and though I know how to use a PC, I would never choose one.
This new one is definitely worth every penny, as are the two other new ones I've purchased in the last year (one for my girlfriend, and a desktop for our office). We should be featured in the dang commercials. Much like AC does not work for MLB.tv, though, I do not work for Apple. Just an enthusiastic consumer.
And actually, access to MLB.tv is exactly the reason I had to get a new computer. My current one, almost four years old, is just dying when it comes to playing video. I'll be missing my Extra Innings package in Chicago, so I had to do something.
Whew. Long post.
It happened when the Dodgers were playing on the west coast. It did. Thanks for the technology!
Or jacked into your head a la the Matrix.
That post probably took you almost 2 seconds to write, huh Erin?
So are all 3 of you (Karina, AC, Erin) Mac people?
Woohoo! Loney with a TRIPLE!!!! Show off the SPEED!
Nice work Loney. I eagerly await the video.
Yes Macbook - 2 years old.
RBI by Martin!!! Dodgers 3-0 Where's the video highlight?
Macs are easier to use. My brother and i use macs (i converted him actually) and my mom (who's very technology challenged) learned very easily so she could talk to my other brother that lives abroad.
Would be nice if mlb would let you embed the video into blogs.
Karina - exactly why I bought my mom a mac - now she is using the video camera like a pro!
I love the baby blue...why can't they all play together every night?
i want to see that Loney triple and Martin single RIGHT NOW
Bloop basehit by DeWitt, just stuck his bat out.
Yeah, Macs just seem more intuitive and user-friendly. And you don't need virus protection, and they rarely, if ever, crash (mine hasn't crashed in almost four years I've owned it).
Hu is now wearing an ankle guard after fouling off the last one.
Maybe I'll go buy a Mac tomorrow.
Get it with the mlbtv package.
If it is useful, remember every single Mac vs PC commercial, it's all true.
I don't work for Apple, either.
I just purchased a Mac online (I'm very prone to suggestion).
Martin's RBI hit is now posted.
That was fast, EK. Which one did you get?
Whatever the most expensive one was. I think I bought 2. I'm not sure.
Do you guys prefer Coke or Pepsi?
Pepsi, please.
As long as we're weighing in, I also believe the chicken came first.
Coke, it gives you more of a high, snorting it is good, but sometimes freebasing is the way to go...oh, you meant the drink...uh...hmm...
EK: give me a million bucks.
No sodas for me, but if i'm weak, i'll choose 7up light (i hate pepsi, btw)
AC, you are getting your blogs confused. This is SoSG, not www.sonsofstevehowe.com
I prefer 7-Up to Coke or Pepsi too, but mainly cuz I try to avoid caffeine. Taste-wise I like both Coke and Pepsi over 7-Up.
EK: nice.
A man of strong taste.
Pepsi is the best, and though I've had two in the last two days, prior to that I hadn't had one for four months. I'm going cold turkey again. No one needs to drink high fructose corn syrup like that.
Good work, AC. But 200 is the magic post.
why do you avoid caffeine?
Oh that's right Erin. You gave it up...have your boycott of ice cream continuing successfully as well?
Karina - because it gives me trouble falling asleep.
EK: How's Beltre doing today?
I replace sodas with flavored water, the bad thing about that water is the sodium.
High fructose corn syrup is the devil!
Damn, Brewers up.= 4-3
AC, he is currently 1-for-2 vs the Rangers. Why do you ask?
Beltre 2-1, a single.
He's batting right now, 0-1
Crap, suddenly down 5-3. Crap. CRAP. CRAP.
Sabermetricians don't like stolen bases. I still think they are a pretty valuable and useful part of the game and it's very fun to watch.
High fructose corn syrup is definitely the devil. Avoid it at all costs.
EK, I've had ice cream maybe three times since December, which is very good for me. I've had half a milkshake twice at Dodger Stadium (since Ruby's opened there) and one trip to Baskin Robbins. Considering I used to go to BR nearly every night, this is quite an improvement. And the good news is, I don't really crave it anymore.
Karina, I am starting to replace sodas with flavored water too. If not the devil, high fructose syrup is at least a minor demon.
In case you forgot...
Because it is adictive, the more you consume it, the more you crave it, you get tired faster after a rush of energy and it's very bad when you have a family history of diabetes.
It's only recommendable in the case of very extreme sadness and despair.
I haven't seen it yet, but a friend of mine told me about a documentary that's about corn production and consumption in the United States. She said it's really good. It's called "King of Corn."
way to go, Eric!
Well then if the Dodgers lose again today, it'll be soda for everyone
I'm back! In for a Penny, in for a pounding, I see.
Orel, that may be one of the most clever things I've read recently. Seriously.
I've heard about that documentary. Though, corn is not bad as it seems, you'd have to eat it moderately at the right time.
how about cachapas, Eric?
Is high-fructose corn syrup the new cocaine?
Thanks, Erin. I have to work it into a headline sometime.
Just like to keep tabs on Ex-dodgers.
Indeed Erin, that was very clever of Orel.
Orel, for LA that's not a bad commute.
Somehow the conversation has gone from Macs to high fructose syrup.
Brings new meaning to "sweet talk."
...while the Dodgers blowed a 3 run lead
i meant, BLEW
To be fair, I think the Dodgers biggest lead was 2.
I guess Miller Park doesn't have a radar gun.
Right, Orel.
Hardy doubles. Like Furcal, Hu has learned to range into left field whenever Pierre fields a hit.
Yhency in the bullpen.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, are currently trying to come back from their own 5-3 deficit, and are now down only 5-4 in the eighth, with two on and one out.
Nice block by Russell!
Looks bad for the Orioles....
Kendall tagged it but right at Ethier. On to the 6th.
Ok, we have three innings to score 2 runs, though I would prefer 3. Or 6.
Oops, 7th.
Orel, you aren't a Mac person, are you? I don't think so...
The Orioles have wriggled out of jams in two innings now. In the sixth or seventh, the Sox loaded the bases with nobody out, but Ramirez grounded into a double play and Lowell flied out.
With two on and one out, they couldn't push across that second run, so the score remains 5-4. One more inning to get it done.
15 Earned runs by Penny in last 2 starts according to the brewers announcers. that sucks.
Slappy with a slap to braun 2 quick outs.
Wow backwards K for Ethier...this is looking bad...
Suck that does, AC. Suck that does.
Things have gotten so bad I'm starting to quote Yoda.
If the Dodgers lose again tonight:
1) Would you feel intense sadness and despair?
If the answer is yes,
2) What kind of high corn fructose syrup product you will consume?
Like the looks of Wade.
opps, spoke too soon. Wade gives up a triple.
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you (Andruw Jones).
Yes, much sadness - screw it - I will eat that whole pint of ice cream - go for the real sugar.
1) yes
2) probably a Diet Coke Plus tomorrow at lunch (it has vitamins and nutrients!)
That'd be a nice summary for the T.J. simmers article on Andruw Jones.
That...is why you fail
-Yoda, 1980
Interesting choice by both of you.
How does the Diet Coke Plus taste?
Trivia question: What is Yoda's last name?
Diet Coke Plus tastes the same as regular Coke to me, but I have insensitive taste buds when it come to beverages.
Crap, one more inning to score 2 runs.
Karina, are you going to have high fructose syrup after the game?
Yoda on Pierre, or Andruw Jones for that matter: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not
Gagne is warming up!!!!
Oh dear lord. I feel bad for you if you just missed that play from Hu. Holy cow. He's so little, but he jumped so high!
Yoda Minch
Hu UP THE LADDER!!! Nice hops for the asian kid.
Yes, 7up light for me.
Erin, that sounds more like a quote about Yoda, not from him.
Minch? Good guess, but no...Yoda's last name is 'McDaniel'.
I think the mlb.com Gameday only posts videos of scoring plays. I'd like to see that catch from Hu.
Gagne broke my heart so hard, i think i might get more sugar than that.
It's like losing a person you loved so much, being heart broken for his failures, to discover he's a jerk.
Yoda on Jones again: Grave danger you are in. Impatient you are (at the plate).
I didn't know Yoda was irish, welsh, scottish or something like that...
Hey Mota is getting loose the bullpen - which Ex dodger is going to shut us down?
I can't tell you how badly I want to see the Dodgers pummel Eric Gagne.
Karina: Broke your heart because he left the dodgers or because he took steroids or both.
Wasn't it just two days ago that there was a big story about how Gagne wasn't going to pitch in the ninth for a while?
I think that was Xavier McDaniel - forward for the Lakers.
both of the reasons you listed, being the main reason he took steroids on those amazing seasons.
I could add the fact he spent a lot of the time on the DL.
Martin with the Rally single...
Hmm, Dewitt seemed overpowered by Gagne. Lucky it wasn't a DP.
Oh, and of course it will all come down to Jones.
Uh, oh Jones is on Deck....Sweeney better get this doneright here
Crap - Yoda Jones is at the plate.
Anger (strike)
Hate (Strike 2)
Passed Ball!
Wait for it....
OHHHHH, walk...
I think I had more faith in Jones than I do in Juan Pierre.
See? First pitch swinging, and he pops it up. Dope.
On the Strike Zone Channel, the narrator says Juan Pierre is the "Man of the Clutch"
I'm amazed how these people gat paid to talk about baseball.
Torre should pinch hit for Pierre - then double switch with Jones to play center.
Crap - well there it is ....
Erin, i'll go and get all the ice cream on the fridge. I don't care about my diet.
