Avialantic Updates - September 6, 2003
* Mid Atlantic Air Museum - WWII Weekend
* MAAM Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
* Avsim Exhibition and Conference
* Other upcoming Mid-Atlantic area events
* Communication hazards - Worms, viruses, Spam and other nuisances
MAAM WWII Weekend
Campaign ribbons should be awarded to the more than 5,000 people who
braved the hideous weather on Saturday to witness the excessive realism
- water running off helmets and tents, mud, mud, and more mud - just a
sample of the conditions the foot soldiers had to endure interminably.
Thanks to visitor Carl Reinemann, who traveled from Ohio and captured
the day for us in the photo on the WW II show site –
www.maam.org/maamwwii.html. You will find a link there to more 2003
photos - thanks to all who submitted their fine work. This year's photo
CD is taking a bit longer than expected with such a great assortment of
photos to sort and scan, but it's coming along.
Fortunately the weather on the other two days was excellent and large
crowds offset to some degree Saturday's small but hearty turnout. Thanks
to all for your support - hope we have a bit less "authentic" weather
next year - June 4-6!
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles Sept 20-21
If you hurry you can still save by getting your tickets in advance for
this fun show featuring our favorite toys all over the ramp and on the
grass and in the hangar. More music this year with WWII Weekend's
Theresa Eaman performing both days and "Flamin' Dick and the Hot Rods" -
- producing
flamin' 50's and 60's R&R from 4 to 7:30 pm on Saturday. Still more
music at the Starlight Drive-in that follows as we join the Beatles to
save Pepperland from the Blue Meanies while roller-skating car hops and
countdown clocks bring back "the good old days." See the web site for
more info - www.maam.org/transhow.html - and to order tickets (no - I
still haven't activated online ordering but maybe I'll have it for WWII
Avsim Exhibition and Conference - 26-27
As you may have heard, MAAM has been extremely fortunate in having some
of the best designers of aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator
software donate their considerable time and talent to creating
award-winning simulations of museum aircraft. The MAAM-SIM team, Bill
Rambow, Jan Visser, Fred Banting, Rob Young, Bill Womack, and Mike
Hambly has not only generated considerable revenue toward getting the
Martin 404 and R4D re-engined, but has also spread the word about the
museum and its mission among the very large flight simulator community,
bringing in more members, visitors, and support. The Avsim.com
organization has strongly supported the effort, and we are delighted
that they have chosen MAAM as the site of their 2003 gathering.
If you're interested in flight simulators, or just curious, this is the
event for you and probably the first time that sims have been displayed
with the real thing on such a scale. I'll let the event's promoters
speak for themselves though - see
More Mid-Atlantic Air Events
The Freedom Museum's Festival of Freedom at Manassas Virginia - October
The American Helicopter Museum's RotorFest - October 18 & 19 at West
Chester PA -
EAA 186 Fall fly-in at Winchester is always a good one, and this year
both MAAM's B-25 and the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation's C-54
flying museum will be attending. I have conflicting information on the
dates though - Oct. 4 & 5 or 16 & 17. I'm betting on the latter since
the web site -
doesn't show a year I'd guess it
hasn't been updated yet. Anyway, check before proceeding - I don't want
to delay this Update to confirm the date.
Communication hazards
Although a bit off-topic, I think the comments I am about to offer
regarding the ever-increasing torrent of email diseases are definitely
relevant, since they absorb an ever-increasing amount of time and other
resources that could be devoted to promoting events, answering inquiries
and other more useful activities. Although the sheer volume of
legitimate mail has made it impractical to answer every message I
receive, the "script kiddies" and spammers have nearly succeeded in
taking the fun out of it all. Valid communiques are unfortunately
occasional casualties to the "friendly fire" of anti-spam measures or
simply lost or inadvertantly deleted manually.
I have seen plenty of familiar addresses in the mass of detritus from
the Sobig.F worm and others, so I know many of you have encountered it
(your address in the "from" part of a message doesn't mean it came from
you or that you are/were infected though). If all this weren't enough, a
few well-meaning folks invariably help the less-talented script-kiddies
by passing along virus hoaxes, the effect being the same - clogging up
the e-mailways with useless stuff with the added irony of having the
victim do the work themselves. Unfortunately, the truth is that even the
coded viruses etc. rely on us to help or at least allow them to
propagate. For this reason, and because it would be unseemly of me to
subject you to a rant such as this without offering something of value,
I have added a section to Avialantic that will feature tools and
information about security and related topics.
I hope that you will find the links and other items I have placed on the
Avialantic site at
be useful to you in curing or heading off problems. They are certainly
not the only ones available - it's a huge industry - and may not be the
best, but they are the ones I use and like. Your milage, as they say,
may vary, but if you aren't already well-informed and protected, I hope
you will take advantage of the resources I have posted. Each of us needs
to make the effort to ensure we're not aiding the vandels in their
disruptive activities.
Communicating with me -
I will be modifying my web sites to remove any trace of my email
address, eventually funneling all web-originated contact through forms
and taking other measures to reduce the noise flowing into my email
boxes. Since you are reading this you already have my email address and
know how to contact me. You will enhance the chances of your mail being
read and responded to by including a clear subject and understanding
that although I'm not suffering from any abnormal deterioration that I
know about (some may contest this), I correspond with a lot of people
and may not remember what we were discussing 6 weeks ago. Also if you
include attachments, say something in the body of your messages
indicating what it is etc. My antivirus takes care of these things
pretty well, but if I'm in doubt I'm still likely to hit the delete key
instead of opening it.
It's a beautiful day and it's not raining! Time to wrap this up and go
outside and play! Have a great Autumn!

The People's Choice Awards may have wrapped up more than a week ago, but Castle fans are still reveling in star Stana Katic's win for Favorite Dramatic TV Actress.
Though Katic got to briefly thank her fans for the award on-stage, the emotions really poured out during a backstage interview with PeoplesChoice.com.
"I don't think I ever expected anything like this, so it's kind of shocking," said an emotional Katic. "It's just nice to know that people like something that I'm doing."
The actress went on to thank her cast and crew again, but ultimately returned the focus back on her fans.
"You guys have given me such an amazing memory," said Katic, while directly addressing Castle viewers. "I'm going to cherish this for a very long time."
Watch the sweet interview below and don't be surprised if you find yourself tearing up too.

Before Monday, Palo Alto has remained on the sideline while other cities in the area showed their support for same-sex marriage by flying rainbow flags, passing resolutions affirming support for marriage equality or joining the litigation challenging Proposition 8. San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Santa Monica are among the participants in the litigation, as are Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
While Palo Alto hasn't gone as far, council members made it clear this week where they stand on the issue. With little debate and no dissent, they enthusiastically approved a resolution that authorizes City Manager James Keene to fly the rainbow flag at King Plaza in recognition of the city's "overwhelming rejection of Proposition 8" and as a symbol for its support "for the restoration of marriage equality for gays and lesbians in California."
Greg Betts, director of Palo Alto's Community Services Department, addressed the council as a private citizen for the first time in his 30-year career with the city and urged the council to support the proclamation. Betts, who married his partner of 24 years in the fall of 2008, before the passage of Proposition 8, said that to his knowledge, the marriage hadn't caused the break-ups of any other marriages or the breakdown of society.
The rainbow flag, he said, is a sign of diversity and inclusiveness, a way to promote an open and welcoming community.
"The rainbow flag is not a flag of allegiance. It does not represent a constitution or a charter," Betts said. "This flag is merely a symbol."
Faith Bell, owner of Bell's Books, also spoke in support of the resolution and said she would be proud to be in a city that flew the rainbow flag.
Omar Chatty, a San Jose resident who frequently opines on transportation issues, disagreed and argued against flying the rainbow flag. Members of some religions, he argued, could be offended by the city's decision to redefine "marriage," which to them is a union of a man and a woman. He asked the city not to fly the flag until the Supreme Court comes out with a decision.
But the council agreed that it's time to take an official stance on same-sex marriage, particularly given the opinion of Palo Alto residents, 76 percent of whom rejected Proposition 8.
The proposal to fly the flag was initially proposed by Mayor Greg Scharff and agreed upon by Keene.
Scharff called flying the rainbow flag a "very important" action for the city and argued that committed relationships — gay or straight — make the community stronger.
"I see no possible argument why people shouldn't be allowed to marry whomever they wish," Scharff said.
Councilwoman Karen Holman addressed the criticism from residents that the council shouldn't meddle in this national issue. She noted that the council is both representing the voters and showing support for those members of Palo Alto's youth community who may be struggling with their identity.
Her colleagues agreed. Councilwoman Gail Price said she was "very pleased" with the action. Councilman Larry Klein said he was "very proud" of his colleagues. And Councilman Marc Berman agreed with Scharff and Councilwoman Liz Kniss about same-sex marriage being the "civil-rights issue of our time."
"If you were to look back 50 years to Brown vs. the Board of Education — every city probably wishes it had put out a resolution about the fact that 'separate but equal' is not equal," Berman said.

Get some pit gloves for pork pulling
The pig, when prepared well, is an animal whose meaty bits provide a wide array of scrumptious goodness. While some less-than-appealing parts of this magic meat machine (like the feet, intestines, ears, or jowls) are still eaten around the world, it's putting pork to the barbecue or slow cooker that causes most meat munchers to salivate on the spot. One favorite method of serving and enjoying a side of swine is pulled pork.
That said, an interesting dividing line between some pork pullers seems to be the temperature of the meat as you're pulling. While it can be argued that you should be able to pull pork with your bare hands, with no fear of finger burns, many cooks prefer their pork to be nice and hot as they tear it apart. If you're one who just can't stand to have cold pulled pork it's essential to find yourself a nice pair of pit gloves to pull with.
High temperature pit gloves are the perfect way to handle and mangle freshly cooked meat of any kind without having to play hot potato. Whether you're separating boiled chicken from bone, flipping a full rack of ribs, or digging your digits into some hot pork butt having gloves that are maneuverable and heat resistant is a must. Find a pair of gloves with a high temperature rating and never again worry about singeing a knuckle or burning a fingertip on hot fat.
With summer just around the corner it's safe to say the barbecue season will soon be in full swing. If you're more than the casual cook, and find yourself in front of the grill or elbows deep in a restaurant's barbecue pit on a daily basis, having a quality pair of pit gloves is a godsend. Buy a pair or two that will last you a few years instead of a pair that just doesn't do the job.
Mouth-watering, dissolves-in-your-mouth pulled pork is a delicious dish, and methods for pulling and preparing pork can be a hot topic from one establishment to the next. Any good barbecue joint will have a preferred madness to their pulled pork method, whether it's secret rubs or precise cook times, and finding your own sweet spot in terms of what works and tastes best takes dedication. There are countless resources available for dialing in that perfect practice, so mixing and matching on your own time is an excellent way to create something unique.

New Boot Camp in Palo Alto?????
Original post made by Paly Parent, Palo Alto High School, on Aug 16, 2012

Camo for the seniors (its not for intimidation, just fun) has been a very fun tradition at Paly for years. Many seniors also decorate their cars for the first day of school. Its fun!
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Aug 16, 2012 at 5:04 pm
It is a terrible tradition that seeks to intimidate younger students. How about a new tradition of kindness?
a resident of Crescent Park
on Aug 17, 2012 at 9:10 am
Palo Alto high school kids are pretty much idiots. Egg wars and camouflage ? ... what is wrong with these people, and I went to Paly many years ago and there was no such "tradition" so it is not a very old tradition, if the word tradition even fits.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Aug 17, 2012 at 10:00 am
The camp tradition has been around at least for 10 years. Camo is green, each grade has a color for Spirit Week. Seniors are green (school color...)

Interesting follow up is that today is Freshman Friday, another Paly tradition!
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Aug 18, 2012 at 6:59 am
It makes me sad to think that there were students who were anxious about going to school on Friday because of "Freshman Friday" and the possibility of hazing. Why is this behavior allowed to continue?
High school should be a place of support, not harassment.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Aug 18, 2012 at 3:32 pm
"Freshman Friday" hazing is absolutely not allowed on campus and is not condoned anywhere off campus either.
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Aug 19, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I'm a student at Paly, neither a freshman nor a senior. I have no problem with this tradition. It doesn't encourage Freshman Friday (which is near nonexistent anyway) and (at least to me) camo isn't intimidating. I plan on wearing camo my senior year.... I don't see what the problem is? Personally, I actually think it's somewhat amusing to see what outfits the seniors wear.... last year there was a kid dressed as a bush.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Aug 19, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Freshman Friday has been pretty much squashed due to the behavior from 4 years ago. Why bother bringing it up at all? As for the camo...lighten up people!
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Aug 20, 2012 at 9:18 am
I don't think any of this is anything to worry about. I just brought it up because I think it is amusing and reminds me of my schooldays.
The camo is just a rite of passage, they have seen it for the past 3 years and now because they are top dogs in school they enjoy showing off - nothing more.
Freshman Friday is just an urban legend, nothing really happens (except a couple of things a few years ago) but is another aspect of the top dogs showing off.
What is wrong imo is dumbing down the pecking order culture and that there is no privilege with age. Those of us who are older and wiser realise that we have gone through many stages of life to get us to where we are now. We want our youth to respect us first as adults and eventually as senior citizens. Allowing them the first step of receiving this respect from their juniors is part and parcel of that process.

This is getting hot!
do i smell one of the most phenomenal comebacks in knick history?
can't be, can it?
can Novak and Felton and Kidd start hitting shots?
Joking Noah's gone, now's the time for a pre-christmas miracle!
D and 3.
haha look at blue santa!
LETS DO THIS!!!! Bulls in the penalty now... MAKE THEM SHOOT IT NO FOULS
The refs owe us at least 5 calls tonight... Cmon redeem yourselves now
Jump ball!!! are you kidding me??
oh man..Cope had Kidd wide open but ....damn
I don't know why we keep getting caught out by inconsistent refereeing... They let stuff go for quarter after quarter and then they'll dump a whole bunch of fouls on us in the space of a few minutes and we get frustrated (understandably).
NBA needs to look seriously at the consistency of refereeing.
sheesh. Feltip picked up 29 fantasy points in 4th quarter alone. from a dreary 2.25 to 31.25. crazy.
too little too late for this bullsh*it game. hopefully it translates into confidence for next game.
so much Felton bashing everywhere. smh.
The Bulls are tough..and physical.. with great defense. I dont wanna see em in the playoffs. Especially if they get Rose back


text: I prefer the "fought in public and on the public record" assumption about the Eugenics Wars myself. Since the whole thing's an alternative future-history anyways...and what was aired on TV implied that, as horrific as it was, it wasn't fought in North America. We simply got lucky one last time re: our physical isolation. Again, apologies to Greg Cox.

$40M dollars of not much tonight.
I know I've defended Melo but let me be the first to say if Melo keeps playing this way he deserves one of these threads too. Its painful watching both of them on defense but I believe Melo will contribute more on offense once he plays a few more games
Don't get me wrong, it's a damn shame I even have to create this thread due to STAT's poor overall play.
I'm just not willing to give up on our players, not Melo either. Not Fields who gets so much **** even after proving people wrong repeatedly.
There's sooooo many "excuses" as to why STAT, Melo and the Knicks in general have had a crappy season. But we've seen the flipside of it, the winstreak was great and we can accomplish that on an even higher level with our best players playing at their best.
STAT and Melo are career all-stars, that's not going to just go away.
That jump shot of STAT's was whack tonight. Last year, he sinks 3/4ths of the open jumpers he took tonight. What the hell happened to his shot? The main reason he's considered a good player is because he has a consistent mid-range jumper to go along with the whole "strongest player in the league" deal.
STAT needs to wake up and start playing like the 20-million dollar superstar. I knew he doesn't play defense from day one but I was counting on stellar offense from him to offset all his deficiencies. WTH happened during last off-season? I hardly recognize this year's STAT.
not sure why some of you demand his performance must match his salary, its guaranteed money anyway regardless. now if you were in his situation with creaky knees would you be dumb enough to blow them out and jepodize your health for life, do you think he cares what Knicks fans think for the next two three years? in the end he will be remember as Suns because best playing days, ROY, for now he's really in Hawaii collecting paycheck. i bet inside hes laughing how he took new york by the hairs of chinny chin chin all the way home
image courtesy amareisreal
I will give the man his propers when he stops playing like Christina Bosh. Mid-range Amare is not a MAX player (like Mid range Bosh). I hope his loss of explosion is just temporary.
As expected I will put some of Amare's struggles on the shoulder of MOA. It's basically two-fold.
#1 STATue often looks disinterested offensively out there and when that happens it makes him look even more useless since he can't lock down on defense to make up for it. He doesn't demand the ball, which leads me to believe he never fells like he can realistically dominate his defender (obviously a byproduct of dependency on a pg). No post game either to help get him going. Just an overall decline.
#2 Antoni HAS to see what we all see and must make it his priority to get Amare the touches he needs in the right spots. The problem with MOA is that once he gets a good PG, he TOTALLY relies on said PG to make all the decisions. IMO, Antoni is more of a manager of shooters. He doesn't see the game based on a players skill level. What I mean by that is, he know everything about your ability to shoot the ball but doesn't seem like he holds other aspects of the game with the same respect.
I know STAT is under achieving BUT I don't see Antoni doing anything to get him going. Every game looks the same to me with STAT trying to set a pick through anyone who has the ball. STAT should also be getting the ball in the post (i know he won't post up) where he can face his defender and make a quicker move to the basket. This is better for him because when he's 10+ ft away he just looks awful trying to create.
The PnR is also baffling me. STAT has no idea how to position himself for the pass on the roll. I pay attention to these things every game. When he sets a pick, he immediately thinks he should get the ball so he raises his arms and lightly moves to the basket. This isn't gonna cut it. You can't just set a pick and start waving your arms. A PnR has to give the appearance as though the pg (or whomever) has escaped their defender and is trying to take advantage of the new defender who had to pick him up on the switch. At this point, the player who set the pick should make an angle to the basket where the best possible pass can be recieved. In STAT's case, his arm waiving just alerts defenders even more. This is obviously just my but next game watch for yourself.
Tommy Beer: Per @Hoopdata, Amar'e is shooting under 24% from 3-9 feet & just 36% from 16-23 feet this season. Both #'s FAR below his career percentages
During the broadcast, Clyde mentioned last night that STAT was aiming his shot. Apparently, there is a lack of confidence issue right now. Also, he is definitely lacking the hops from last year (someone mentioned a 6'10" version of Bibby?).
I refuse to believe he is done and expect him to come around in the next couple of weeks and give us a positive contribution. Enough with the hating and crying about the money he is making. He is one of us and we must root for him to turn it around!!!
desde la cuna del chango
This team won't go far without STAT returning to his old self.
Someone needs to tell him to stop wearing hipster glasses and dressing like a 70 year old jewish man from Brooklyn in press conferences. This isn't the 1940's step your game up.

remember all the hype we had about potentially drafting petro....any thoughts on the him vs. frye debate now?Still, Weiss said he is "leaning toward" starting rookie Johan Petro at center -- something no one would have predicted one month ago. In the interim, Petro became one of the preseason's most pleasant surprises.
At this point, though, it would be premature to say Potapenko has lost his starting position due to injury -- as he did one year ago, when former Sonic Ruben Patterson broke Potapenko's right hand in the final preseason game. Potapenko, then the likely starter, was out for six weeks, during which time Jerome James ensconced himself in the middle.
Weiss said Reggie Evans will start alongside Petro in the frontcourt -- a move that should ensure sound defensive post play, at the expense of increased pressure on Allen, Lewis, and Ridnour to score from the perimeter.

OCEAN CITY – Convicted killer Erika Sifrit, who along with her husband, Benjamin, brutally murdered and dismembered a Virginia couple vacationing in Ocean City on Memorial Day weekend in 2002, will not get another day in court after startling revelations came to light during her post-conviction hearing earlier this year that added even more gruesome details to an already grisly incident.
The Sifrits, both originally from Hollidaysburg, Pa., were convicted in separate trials around the state in 2003 after the highly sensational cases were moved from Worcester County. Erika Sifrit received a life sentence plus 20 years for her role in the killings of Martha Crutchley and Joshua Ford, whose dismembered bodies were found in a Delaware landfill in the weeks after the murders.
Five years after her conviction and sentence, Erika Sifrit's new attorney, Robert Biddle, last year filed a petition for post conviction relief and a request for a hearing for a new trial, citing the failings of her defense team in accurately portraying her as a manipulated victim of sorts in the crimes. Frederick County Circuit Court Judge Julie Stevenson Solt agreed to at least review the allegations spelled out in Biddle's 15-page petition and hearings were held in December and February.
On Wednesday, however, the judge denied Erika Sifrit's bid for a new trial in a 26-page order outlining a pattern of behavior by Erika Sifrit contrary to her attorney's assertion his client was manipulated throughout the crimes and attempted cover-up including her denial of her husband's request to cannibalize one of the victims.
In one startling revelation, Solt's order included a statement Erika Sifrit made to an OCPD detective during which she said she refused Benjamin Sifrit's request to cook and eat one of the victims' legs. The judge said in her order denying a new trial that statement illustrated Erika Sifrit's ability to reason and make decisions after the grisly turn of events. During the post-conviction hearings, Erika Sifrit's attorney and expert witnesses attempted to paint a picture of her as pathologically devoted to her husband to the point she did not realize the implications of her actions on the fateful Memorial Day weekend in Ocean City.
The judge also wrote in her order Erika Sifrit told police she refused to take a picture of Benjamin Sifrit holding up the victim's heads and ordered him to clean up the victim's blood. In another revelation in the judge's order, Erika refused to help her husband kill her family and steal their money, which never did happen, providing further evidence she was not blindly following her husband's orders in their relationship.
The essence of Biddle's request for post-conviction relief for Erika Sifrit hinges on the belief defense attorneys at her original trial did not fully explore her history of mental illness. In his petition for relief, Biddle outlines how Erika Sifrit was not mentally responsible for her part in the murders and points out the discovery of certain medications on her person at the time of her capture illustrate she was not fully capable of understanding what had occurred.
"By failing to obtain the necessary records, and by failing to provide those records to qualified experts, the defense missed the opportunity to show that Mr. Sifrit manipulated and controlled his wife, abused her psychologically to the point she lacked the capacity of a rational adult and became so extremely dependent on him that she would do anything he requested, regardless of the harm it caused," the appeal read.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Sifrit's bid for a new trial continues to move forward on a different course. In April, Benjamin Sifrit renewed his bid for a new trial, alleging prosecutors used inconsistent theories of the crimes in the separate trials of he and his wife. After exhausting an appeal process based on the claim his defense counsel was ineffective during his 2003 trial, Benjamin Sifrit has embarked on a different tack to get his conviction reversed and gain a new trial.
In September, Sifrit filed in U.S. District Court a writ for habeas corpus against the Maryland Attorney General and the warden of the facility where he is serving a 30-year sentence for the crime essentially alleging he is being held illegally and should be given a new trial because prosecutors presented inconsistent theories against he and his wife in their separate trials in 2003.
In March, the state's attorney general filed a response to Sifrit's motion for a new trial, asserting prosecutors used the same basic evidence in the separate trials and the convictions should be upheld. In April, however, Benjamin Sifrit filed a formal answer, reasserting he should be granted a new trial because prosecutors tailored the evidence and selected testimony in the different trials in order to gain convictions for both he and his wife.
"In each trial, the government put forth evidence and argued that the defendant on trial was the shooter while the other defendant was present but had minimal involvement in the crime," the petition for a new trial reads. "As such, the inconsistencies could not have been more central to the government's case and violated the petitioner's right to due process."

Should Obama pick a labradoodle? We did. Smart. Cute. Fun.
When our labradoodle puppy Ginger feels she is not getting enough attention, she steals whatever is most precious to you and runs like crazy. Fast. Won't drop it . . . even for a cookie. If you open the car door to trick her into thinking it's a trip to the dog park, she won't buy it. Until you change your mind to actually go to the park. Then somehow she knows, and jumps right in. So smart.
What does a labradoodle look like?
The fur can vary in color and texture. Depends on the fur of the lab mom and the poodle dad. Also on which generation the labradoodle is. First generation (lab and poodle parents) and second (2 labradoodle parents or labradoodle and poodle parent, for example). At one year Ginger's fur is still silky soft. Fur can even vary within the same litter. Ginger recently celebrated her one-year birthday by having a playdate with two of her littermates. One sister is more curly and one is more lab-like. party photos
The size can vary as well. Depends on the size of the poodle dad, standard to miniature. Our labradoodle Ginger has a 12 lb dad, and her mom was a regular lab. At one year she is about 30 lbs. Perfect size for us.
Do a web search and come up with tons of images that show the wide variety of size and fur. People are often surprised that Ginger is a labradoodle as she does not have super curly fur. They also are surprised by her small size.
Ginger is good natured and great with kids. A watch dog: alert with a big-dog bark, not a yappy little-dog one. Her faults: she does tend to whine a bit. And contrary to reports that labradoodles do not shed, she does. But just a bit. First generations tend to shed more. Oh, and like I said, she steals your stuff.
Obama wants to adopt from a shelter. Labradoodles and goldendoodles are popular now and most breeders fetch a good price. He may not be able to find a "shelterdoodle."

Matsui may force his way into Game 3 lineup
Despite bad knees, DH could move to outfield in Philly
By Brittany Ghiroli / Special to MLB.com
Given Matsui's performance in the Yankees' 3-1 World Series-evening win in Game 2 on Thursday night, Girardi is running out of reasons not to, bad knees and all.
On a night when familiar foe Pedro Martinez pitched Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon and Alex Rodriguez to a combined 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts, it was Matsui who blasted the decisive homer, a two-out sixth-inning shot that traveled an estimated 320 feet.
Down in the count 1-2, Matsui took the second consecutive curveball he saw over the right-field fence, sending the crowd of 50,181 at the new Yankee Stadium to its feet in a jolt of fervor.
"What can you say about him?" Yankees captain Derek Jeter said. "He's a guy you want to see up in big situations, because you know he's going to give a good at-bat. And he hit a huge home run for us."
Matsui's homer was a game-changer, allowing Girardi to hand the ball to Mariano Rivera for the first time this series. The All-Star closer collected the game's final six outs to preserve the win and even the series at one apiece before the Yankees travel to Philadelphia for Saturday's Game 3.
In a series where Phillies pitching has handcuffed the Yankees' high-octane offense to three runs (two earned) through the first 18 innings, Matsui is 3-for-6 with a homer and walk, a .500 average New York can't afford to lose.
"That's something we're going to have to talk about," Girardi said of using the 35-year-old Matsui in the outfield for the first time this season. "We'll see how he's doing. We'll have to see. We'll make a decision when we get there. We have all day to think about it [during Friday's off-day.]"
"It's not really my decision," Matsui said through an interpreter. "If the manager decides to put me in the outfield, then I'm going to make sure that I am ready for that."
Matsui has had fluid in his surgically repaired left knee drained several times this season, and he was plagued by right knee woes during his career in Japan. As the Yankees' designated hitter for 142 games this season, he hit .274 with 28 homers and 90 RBIs.
Thursday's eventual game-winning homer was Matsui's second blast of the postseason dating back to Game 1 of the American League Division Series. Mastsui connected for a two-run homer off Twins pitcher Francisco Liriano in the fifth inning of the Yankees' 7-2 win.
"Matsui is a professional, he comes [in], he's ready to play every day," Jeter said. "He can hit home runs, moves the ball the other way, he's great with guys on base. He comes to play. He wants to win [and] he's one of my favorite teammates."

By HOWARD TROXLER, Times Columnist
Published January 17, 2007
TALLAHASSEE - This is weird. For once, there are more citizens than lobbyists around the Capitol in this week's special session of our Legislature.
The Legislature is all fired up to do something about Florida's hurricane insurance mess, even if the insurance companies don't like it.
The insurance lobbyists, as a result, seem shell-shocked. They hang around committee meetings listlessly.
Occasionally one of them stands up to protest weakly into the microphone. He is treated by the lawmakers with all the patience and deference the Legislature usually reserves for bleeding-heart liberals and the Save the Cute Little Puppies Club, meaning, not so much.
So, yeah, the Florida Legislature is in full-scale action mode, which is a little scary.
Sorry to sound like a sourpuss or to look a gift horse in the mouth. But if the only thing the Legislature does in its special session this week is roll back the rates of Citizens' Property Insurance, then this week will be a failure.
Oh, sure, if you're a customer of Citizens, like me, then a repeal of that 25 percent rate hike that took effect on Jan. 1 would be nice. Also nice would be repealing the law that requires an additional 55 percent Citizens rate hike later this spring.
But those things by themselves aren't enough. They don't solve anything.
And then, on Jan. 1, 2008, Citizens would have to turn around and jack up rates again.
So, what else to do?
Here is the biggest idea being kicked around in Tallahassee this week:
Let's put ourselves on the hook, and promise to use tax dollars to cover storm damage above a certain level.
Tax dollars! This would be a huuuuge philosophical shift.
Let's say we had a big, Katrina-sized hurricane. First, the private insurers would cover it up to a point (right now, that point is $6-billion).
Next, the state's "cat fund" for catastrophic coverage kicks in, with the private companies still making a co-payment along the way. Let's say that gets us up to covering, heck, $23-billion or so.
But if the total damage from a single storm were even bigger, we would promise to make up the difference out of future state tax revenue. The overall limit would be something like, say, $40-billion or $45-billion, or roughly Katrina-size.
Good things about this idea:
Right away, private insurance companies would be off the hook for much of their current risk. They would be required to reduce their rates.
We taxpayers wouldn't have to pay anything up front, either.
Bad things about this idea:
We're writing a blank check against the future. And we're shifting the burden from property owners to taxpayers in general. Even poor folks buying shoes for their kids would be subsidizing storm damage.
Like I said, that's the biggest idea. The Senate likes it, but the House is skeptical. It's an open question whether it will pass.
Otherwise, there's a hodgepodge of stuff getting kicked around. Nobody knows exactly how much good any of it will do.
The House agrees with Gov. Charlie Crist: Let's make it illegal for the big insurers to create new Florida-only subsidiaries.
And if those big guys are selling homeowners insurance in other states, but giving Florida the shaft, then let's crack down on their ability to sell auto insurance here.
There's a bunch more stuff. But the one overarching truth is that just ordering Citizens to reduce its rates doesn't address the underlying causes of Florida's problem. It will take something more than that for the governor and Legislature to claim victory this week.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Seafarer training and recruitment
To advocate a certain number of urgent activities which, when duly carried out by the Member States and both sides of industry, could redress the current situation whereby there is a lack of Community seafarers.
Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament of 6 April 2001 on seafarer training and recruitment.
The total number of EU nationals employed on board ships flying the Community flag is currently 120 000, down by 40% as compared with 1985, whereas the number of nationals of non-member countries employed on board EU ships has risen from 29 000 in 1983 to 34 500 today. It is felt that the scarcity of officers within the EU could reach 13 000 posts in 2001 and 36 000 in 2006, a situation made yet worse by the problem of officer ageing.
Several sociological and financial factors explain the lack of attraction of this profession for young Europeans. Between 1992 and 1999 the monthly average salary for qualified seafarers fell by 53% for the Germans, 51% for the Belgians, 49% for the Dutch and 26% for the Portuguese and 14% for the French. Separation from their families and friends is less and less accepted by potential young recruits and the scope for visiting exotic places has disappeared since ships only make short calls or indeed remain outside the port for their commercial operations. Thus the drop-out rate during training at sea lies between 22 and 32% and reaches 60 or 70% in certain Member States.
To this is added the fact that; when faced with growing competition from non-member countries several EU shipowners have decided to cut their costs by registering their ships under non-Community flags or under second registers whereas at the same time they replace their Community seafarers by cheaper third-country labour.
This growing shortage of seafarers could have a dramatic impact. First of all in terms of safety, since 80% of accidents are due to human error, and that third-country staff are in general terms less well trained than Community staff. Then, for a whole series of activities linked with transport (ports, maritime-shipping companies, inspection bodies, insurance companies) which could face recruitment difficulties in that experience in sea-faring matters is an advantage or a prerequisite for job applicants.
It is not a matter of the Commission's envisaging new legal acts, but rather of ensuring that existing laws or laws in the process of adoption are applied correctly. Sole exception: a legal act concerning ships abandoned in the Community ports. It would be a matter of permitting ports to sell on such ships and to apply the law concerning company transfers and collective dismissals.
The Commission hopes that all of the operators in this sector will combine their efforts and take the following urgent action:
Passenger and trans-shipment services
In view of the recent trend towards employing non-Community seafarers in this area (first of all restaurant staff, then officers) the Commission is calling for the adoption of the European legislation under examination, which is intended to ensure equal conditions of employment for Community and non-Community seafarers, and feels that an agreement could be reached by both sides of the industry. That agreement could also include other aspects such as improved training, living and working conditions, mapping out career plans and salary levels.
Public awareness campaign and job promotion
The Commission recommends that coordinated public awareness campaigns be held at both national and European levels in order to improve the brand image of this area among the young. They would have to stress the wide range of job options open to seafarers within widely diverse activities. In parallel to this both sides of industry will have to place more stress on enabling women to work in the seafaring professions.
Living and working conditions
In order to make on-board living and working conditions more attractive the Commission recommends the use of modern information technologies (e-mail for example) which could enable seafarers to keep in touch with their families. It would thus be necessary to contemplate providing computer rooms on board ships and providing seafarers' families with computers. Providing reading, music and video rooms is also a possibility. However, the most important step is to organise appropriate periods of rotation between activities at sea and on land. Finally, the Commission would invite shipowners to study the scope for boosting on-board officers' pay rates in order to attract young persons to the profession.
Education and training
Without calling into question the general competence of the Member States as regards training the Commission would like to draw attention to measures that are likely to improve the system of seafarers' education and training as a whole. It thus proposes, in particular that:
- training programmes be adapted,
- national systems be better aligned,
- resources be concentrated on a restricted number of training institutes,
- on-board training be improved,
- retraining and course upgrading be promoted,
- the requirements applying to the acquisition of various certificates be loosened,
- certificates of fitness be mutually recognised,
- officer's posts within the merchant navy be made accessible.
The Commission still feels that setting up a specific Community fund for seafarers' training is not a realistic option and prefers to recommend that the Member States use the scope offered by the existing Community instruments (Socrates and Leonardo programmes).
Support for the research programme
The Commission mentions a number of research areas which could be tackled in the future sixth framework programme:
- drawing up a profile of suitable applicants in order to improve the selection of students at naval colleges and to reduce the drop-out rate
- the factors prompting the choice to work at sea or on land
- types of job and career development
- improving on-board living and working conditions and more particularly the scope for communication between crew members and their families
- the scope for bring national education and training systems closer together, and possible concentration on a smaller number of institutes.

'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" starts off with a recipe for grade-A comedy. The cast includes names such as Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Alan Arkin, James Gandolfini and Jim Carrey. The director is Don Scardino of "30 Rock," while Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis of "Horrible Bosses" penned the screenplay. The premise regarding rivaling magicians offers endless comedic possibilities. So how is it that the final product is just mediocre? It's probably because the audience has to be constantly caught off guard in order for a magic show or comedy to succeed. In "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," the audience can pretty much predict everything that's going to happen. This subtracts the elements of surprise and humor from the equation.
Carell is Burt Wonderstone and Buscemi is Anton Marvelton, two life-long best friends with a mutual love for magic. Sporting flamboyant hairdos and costumes that would make Siegfried and Roy laugh, Burt and Anton become renowned illusionists with a hit show in Vegas. After 10 years of doing the same old shtick though, people begin to tire of the magic duo. They're more drawn to the antics of Carrey's Steve Gray, a street-magician who's like a cross between Criss Angel and David Blaine. Of course Gray doesn't really perform magic tricks so much as he seriously injures himself with knives, hot coal, and drills. Regardless, Burt and Anton are now officially old news.
One of the many falters with "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" is that Wonderstone himself isn't that funny. We've seen this buffoon in numerous other comedies like "Anchorman" and "Talladega Nights." He's an egotistical showboater who thinks he's the center of the universe. After losing everything, however, will Wonderstone learn that he's not king of the world and that other people matter, too? All signs point to yes. As hard as Carell tries, he just can't bring anything new to this worn-out character.
There's also a pretty dull love interest in Olivia Wilde's straight-faced Jane, who reluctantly supplies Wonderstone with moral support. The only other notable woman in the cast is Gillian Jacobs as a floozy who has a one-night stand with Wonderstone. So once again we have a comedy where all the female characters are either limited to being emotional support or bimbos. Could it be that male screenwriters simply don't know how to write for the opposite sex?
The only cast member that gets much out of his role is Carrey, who has a couple shockingly amusing scenes. The reason Carrey sticks out is because his character is so unpredictable and leaves the audience on edge. By comparison, Burt Wonderstone is a royal bore. None of Wonderstone's illusions are especially inspired or funny. Even when one of his tricks backfires, it feels like the filmmakers could have taken matters to a more extreme level. If you want to see a truly funny magician, observe Will Arnett's character on "Arrested Development." Heck, you're inclined to get more laughs watching the Joker perform his infamous pencil magic trick in "The Dark Knight."

Bucs invite top prospects Cole, Taillon to camp
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
Right-handers Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon, firmly locked in as the Pirates' top two prospects for a second consecutive year, both received invitations on Thursday to the club's Major League Spring Training camp. The Bucs also extended Spring Training invitations to a pair of freshly-signed Minor League free agents, one with extensive big league experience. Outfielder Brad Hawpe and catcher Lucas May signed Minor League deals. This will be a return to Pirate City for Cole, who got his professional feet wet in Bradenton last year prior to a season in which he ascended from Class A to Triple-A. The No. 1 overall choice in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft went an aggregate 9-7 with a 2.80 ERA in Bradenton, Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis. Taillon, the Pirates' top Draft choice and the overall No. 2 selection in 2010, will be attending his first big league camp. Drafted out of high school and thus one year younger than the UCLA product Cole, Taillon went 9-8 with a 3.55 ERA between Bradenton and Altoona in 2012. Both Cole and Taillon participated in the MLB Futures Game prior to the 2012 All-Star Game in Kansas City. Hawpe and May both spent the entire 2012 season in the Minors after attending the big league Spring Training camps of the Rangers and the Mets, respectively. Hawpe is an eight-year big league veteran who spent his first six and half seasons with the Colorado Rockies when they were helmed by current Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle. With the Rockies, Hawpe batted .280 with 118 homers and 464 RBIs in 816 games. May, no relation to former Pirates catcher Milt May, had 37 at-bats with the Royals in 2010, but the 28-year-old receiver has toiled in the Minors for the rest of his 10-year professional career. At Triple-A Buffalo last season, he batted .215 in 75 games while throwing out 15 of 58 runners attempting to steal.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "made many mistakes" despite repeated calls from Moscow to the Syrian security forces and Syrian rebels to renounce violence and engage in dialogue, said Tuesday the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov.
"We believe that the Syrian leadership reacted badly to the early peaceful protests and that, despite numerous promises made to fulfill our calls, the authorities made many mistakes," said Lavrov during a pre-recorded interview to Kommersant FM radio.
"Things that currently go in the right direction are too late," continued the Russian Minister.
These comments come as there are more and more signs that Russia ceased its support for Bashar Assad, after a year of violence that left 9,100 dead, according to the Syrian opposition.
On Tuesday, Russia has expressed its willingness to support a statement by the UN Security Council proposed by envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, provided that this statement has no ultimatum.
Already last week, Lavrov accused Assad of making mistakes and being too slow in his reforms. But the latest comments by the Russian Minister show that Moscow did not like the behavior of the Syrian leadership since the beginning of the crisis.
So far, Russian officials had avoided mentioning publicly the possibility of a departure from power of the Syrian president, insisting that any solution to the crisis would require a political dialogue within Syria.
But on Tuesday, the Russian foreign minister said he would not oppose that an exile offer to Assad. " Assad will have to decide," Lavrov concluded.

Survive to thrive
Each day, thousands of children are robbed of the chance to live a healthy, productive life -- all because of preventable, treatable diseases.
World Vision is partnering with national radio network K-LOVE -- which includes more than 400 contemporary Christian radio stations across the country -- to help children around the world Survive to 5.
* * *
Using the tips of her fingers, a mother gently tries to put drops of water into the mouths of her newborn twin daughters. They don't look well.
The mother, Yadou, has no milk for her babies. She herself is too malnourished. Her village in Niger lost its crops to insects and drought. There is nothing to eat.
Every day, nearly 19,000 babies and toddlers are killed by preventable causes like malnutrition around the world.
World Vision has very successful treatments for malnourished children ages 6 months and older. Foods like Plumpy'nut® can work miracles for children that are near death's door.
Sadly, World Vision workers had to send Yadou and her newborns in search of a hospital. The need was too great.
Child sponsorship, however, gives us a chance to help babies and mothers like Yadou.
On the other side of the ocean, in Peru, another mother named Sonia is rejoicing.
"In the past, my child was malnourished," remembers Sonia sadly. "He never talked and used to cry a lot." Then, her son, Luis, got sponsored.
"I received support from World Vision," says Sonia. "They taught me how to cook nutritional meals and gave us chickens to improve the protein levels in our diet."
Luis, age 3, now eagerly helps pick produce from his family's garden and tends to the baby chicks.
Sponsorship has helped not only Luis, but his whole community. Malnutrition used to be one of the biggest problems. But through sponsorship, World Vision taught families how to raise small animals, grow small gardens, and cook nutritional meals.
"My biggest joy is seeing my child healthy," says Sonia.
We can give that joy to other mothers, like Sonia and Yadou. Through sponsorship, we can help babies not just survive, but thrive.

Tune in to K-LOVE on November 20 for a radiothon to help find more sponsors for children in need.
Your can join World Vision and K-LOVE today by sponsoring a child in need. Sponsorship reaches out to a child, his or her family, and entire community with access to sustainable, life-giving basics like nutritious food, clean water, medical care, education, and more. It's one of the best ways to fight poverty -- and change lives!

Saturday is proving one of the busiest and most emotional days of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, competed in his final race during these Olympic games, earning a gold medal in the 4x100m medley relay. All eyes were on the Aquatics Centre pool, where Phelps swam the butterfly leg in the event, a fitting bookend to an Olympic career that began 12 years ago in Sydney, when he swam the 200m butterfly as a 15-year-old.
Possibly the greatest swimmer of all time, Phelps has achieved an unprecedented 22 Olympic medals, 18 golds, two silvers and two bronzes. He also holds two three-peat records following his showdown with rival teammate Ryan Lochte in the 200m individual medley on Thursday, and his win in the 100m butterfly final Friday.
Equally as riveting, Oscar Pistorius – the double-amputee South African "Blade Runner" – advanced to the 400m semifinals in his Olympic debut. Throw in the first major women's running race, and a gold for Serena Williams over Maria Sharapova, and it's fair to say London 2012 is in full swing.
Earlier in the morning, history was made at Olympic Stadium when 25-year-old Pistorius advanced to the 400m semifinals on his carbon-fiber prosthetic legs, as USA's gold medal favorite LaShawn Merritt re-injured himself in his heat, losing his shot at continuing.
Jamaican sprinter extraordinare Usain Bolt and his rival Yohan Blake also made their 2012 Olympic debut, both qualifying for the 100m semifinals alongside a trio of elite U.S. athletes—Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey.
On the grass of Wimbledon, Williams trounced Sharapova 6-0, 6-1 for the gold, notching her first Olympics singles title. Hours after winning her gold medal, Serena Williams returned to the court with sister Venus on Saturday afternoon to compete in the women's doubles semi-final round against Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova of Russia. The United States' Bob and Mike Bryan also won gold in the men's doubles match over France's Michael Liodra and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
In men's basketball, the U.S. edged out Lithuania 99-94, surviving its first test.
The defending Olympic champion U.S. men's volleyball team lost to Russia in a preliminary-round match on Saturday afternoon. The Americans came out strong on the court, winning the first two games 29-27, 25-19. But, the Russians fought back to take the next three games, 26-24, 25-16, and 15-8. The U.S. men will face Tunisia in their last preliminary-round match on August 6.

DETROIT - Walking into Kronk Gym on Warren Avenue in Detroit, you smell the sweat, you hear the punches, and you feel the energy.
All African-American males, as young as seven, working out or learning how to survive in the ring from the elders in the room. This is a man's world for sure. Women don't belong, or so it seems.
An hour later, two young African-American females walk in. They are wearing boxing shorts and tank tops with their arms exposed. They do not look like boxers, but believe it or not, they are ready for their turn in the ring.
With tight braids in their hair and smiles on their faces you would not guess these two to be boxers.
LaTonya King never even thought about throwing a punch, until one day her younger brother got jumped, and she needed to defend him. He was attacked by a group of bullies and she came to his rescue. With blood everywhere, LaTonya decided right then and there that she would never lose another fight and to this day she hasn't.
For the past 10 years, LaTonya has been honing her skills as a boxer. Training at the Kronk Gym four days a week, she has become a two-time world champion and nine-time national champion. She also works two jobs and attends Baker College where she is one year shy of earning her associates degree in accounting.
A 4.0 student, LaTonya somehow juggles it all and still finds time for workouts.
However, two and a half months ago, the stress of paying her rent, her car note, cell-phone bill, and everything else, took a toll. Her father, Mike Patterson, decided he needed to go out and find her a sponsor to alleviate some of the pressure so she could focus on boxing.
Mike and LaTonya walked into a local businessman's office and pleaded with him to help her out. The 10th Annual Ringside World Championships in Kansas City were approaching and she needed to find a way to travel and compete. LaTonya told Brian Elias, the owner of Hansons Windows, that she would win if he would become her sponsor. With that promise, Brian decided that he would help her out in every way he possibly could financially.
For the first time in her career, LaTonya would have a sponsor. Brian agreed to pay her rent, her car note, and everything else that she could not afford, just so she could focus on her training. LaTonya said, "It's a big stress relief. It takes a lot of pressure and stress off of me."
Brian's gift to LaTonya is one that will keep on giving.
He hopes to see a return on his investment when LaTonya competes in the 2012 Olympics in London in women's boxing.
In order to qualify, LaTonya must win at least one major tournament and then perform well at the U.S. Olympic trials.
"I'm training so hard, I've got to win,? she said. ?I've got God on my side.?
LaTonya sees progress and knows she has the tools to make it to the Olympics. Now, she's got the financial freedom to continue to work hard and watch her dedication in the gym pay off.
Her younger sister, Monayah Patterson, is following in her footsteps. Last year, she won her first world title with two knockouts. At the age of 15, she is not intimidated at all by the men around her.
"I'm not afraid to fight with the guys. We both know the same game. I make them work the way I want them to," she said.
Monayah will also be flying to Kansas City next week, along with LaTonya and their parents, to compete in the world championships, with Brian picking up the tab. If they both earn championships, they will become the first sisters to win at the world championship level of female boxing.

Fendt "Build and Quote" Website Makes Choosing and Pricing New Tractors Faster and Easier
Fendt "Build and Quote" website lets producers configure and price new tractors from the comfort of home
Farmers shopping for new tractors from Fendt® can easily configure, price and compare the newest equipment right from their home office using the new Fendt "Build and Quote" website found at http://buildandquote.fendt.com/. The newly launched online tool simplifies the initial shopping process by allowing farmers to sort through available equipment options and design a tractor to fit the unique needs of their individual farming operations.
"The Build and Quote' equipment configuration tools we've created are user friendly and intuitive to use," explains Tim Lyon, sales operations director at AGCO. "By using these tools to learn about the products available, farmers will be able to get a better understanding of the many features and options available and receive the list price online automatically. They can mix and match the various options before requesting a formal quote or before visiting the dealer to finalize the machine configuration."
Create "Build" summary, request official "Quote"
The "Build and Quote" website for Fendt is designed to educate customers about options, guide them through the process of choosing the right tractor and help them connect with their local dealer to request a quote. During the process of configuring the equipment, comprehensive product information on options such as seats, transmissions, weights, hitches, guidance and cabs is provided. Quick-links to pop-up screens provide a simple, yet detailed explanation on the importance of the option and differences in choices available.
After working through the online "Build" process, customers may choose to request a formal quote from their choice of one of the three closest dealers. Dealers are notified of the request for quote via email and receive the build summary and optional trade-in, financing and warranty information if provided by the customer.
Since major farm equipment purchase decisions are rarely made overnight and often involve several members of a farm business, each detailed build summary with the list price may be emailed and printed for future reference. Also, the website may be shared with others using Facebook, Twitter or other social media options.
A comprehensive shopping experience
Along with product information, the site provides an array of shopping tools to help customers prepare for an upcoming purchase. Visitors can compare models to those of the competition using AGCO Compare, view product information, use a payment calculator, learn of purchase incentives and link to AGCO Finance for details on financing options.
"In addition to providing our customers the convenience of shopping from the comfort of their farm office, the new "Build and Quote" tools are very educational. They provide full details on the equipment choices provided by Fendt. We believe this tool will be invaluable resource for customers, helping them make better informed purchase decisions and ultimately increasing customer satisfaction because they chose the right tractor and options for their operation," says Lyon. "Our site is also unique in that no registration is required, which we believe makes it easier and more convenient for customers to use the site for quotes and product information."
Customers shopping online may access the tools directly from the brand website http://buildandquote.fendt.com/. For more information about AGCO and its products, visit www.AGCOcorp.com.

The travel time for a road trip to Kansas City became a little shorter Saturday when the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) re-opened a stretch of Interstate 29 from the Missouri state line to Exit 32 near Pacific Junction.
Portions of the the 32-mile section of interstate had been closed since June 15 because of flooding from the Missouri River.
Several vehicles were lined up on the interstate at 10 a.m. when IDOT personnel removed barricades and snow fence to formally reopen the roadway.
The Glenwood City Council has approved the first of three required readings that would legalize the operation of golf carts on city streets.
An amendment to city Ordinance 847 would make it legal for any person age 18 or older with a valid Iowa driver's license to operate a golf cart on city streets during daylight hours from April 1 through Oct. 31.
Golf cart operators would be required to apply for an operator's permit from the Glenwood Police Department.
A search by Mills County Sheriff's deputies has turned up a "sophisticated" marijuana plant growing operation in a rural Mills County home.
Reports indicate deputies served a search warrant on a residence at 25365 Norrell Ave., southeast of Glenwood, shortly after 9 p.m. on Sept. 23. While conducting their search, deputies discovered a marijuana grow room in the home's basement.
Glenwood Community High School could already boast of being one of only a handful of high schools in Iowa with a video replay screen in its gymnasium.
Now, the two-year-old school has another unique addition in its gym to show off - a 6-foot by 10-foot oil painting of a ram, the school's mascot. The painting was unveiled at the homecoming pep rally in September.
Information technology (IT) employees living a dream life in the country, a construction worker and his wife soon to watch their daughter be married, a 71-year-old grocery store employee who will not be able to retire soon. These people all have one thing in common – they have all been devastated by the flood of 2011.
Luke Schafer tossed seven touchdown passes, five to Daniel Duysen, and the East Mills football team improved to 6-0 on the season with a 68-12 victory over Villisca on Homecoming in Malvern.
The Wolverines (6-0 overall, 4-0 in the district) racked up 377 yards in the win. Schafer finished 12-of-12 passing for 204 yards and matched a career high with his seven touchdown passes. He also added 58 yards rushing, including a 5-yard touchdown scamper.
TABOR – Fremont-Mills delivered a first-quarter knockout Friday night against visiting Stanton.
The Knights scored four first-quarter touchdowns en route to a 65-12 District 8 victory.
"We expected a physical game with Stanton and we got a physical game," Fremont-Mills head coach Jeremy Christiansen said. "We had some things go right for us, but we also saw some things we need to work on, so it was a good game for us."
The statistics are alarming. Major cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, caused 33.3 percent of total deaths in 2007 in Mills County.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims more lives than the next four most common causes of death combined, including cancer.
The Fremont-Mills volleyball team swept Sidney 25-18, 27-25, 25-9 in Corner Conference volleyball last Tuesday.
The Knights improve to 10-8 overall and 3-2 in the conference with the win.
Mark Abrams stayed perfect on the year and the Glenwood boys once again nipped Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson for the team title at the Shenandoah Invitational on Thursday.
Glenwood finished on top of the team standings with 44 points to Thomas Jefferson's 42 points. The Rams edged T.J. by a single point at the Harlan Invitational on Sept. 24.
Mark Abrams ran away with his fifth meet title in as many tries with a time of 16:43. Cade Cleaveland of Riverside was second with a time of 17:04.

A man has been ordered to serve 11 years in prison for a crash that claimed the life of a woman last year.
A man has been ordered to serve 11 years in prison on a charge of DUI manslaughter and two counts of DUI impairment/property damage in an crash that claimed the life of a woman last year.
According to court records, Felipe Alvarez-Alvarez, 24, was sentenced by Judge Brain Lambert on March 27 after pleading no contest to the offenses.
Avarez-Alvarez has 290 days credit time served. His driver's license was permanently revoked.
Henry Ferro represented Alvarez-Alvarez, and assistant State Attorney Janine Nixon prosecuted the case.
Florida Highway Patrol officials said Alvarez-Alvarez was speeding westbound in a 2002 Nissan Maxima on County Road 318 on June 10, 2012, and crossed a double yellow line to pass a car in front of him. His vehicle sideswiped the car he was passing, missed a truck approaching in the opposite direction, spun out of control and collided head-on with a 1991 Mazda Miata behind the truck. The Miata was driven by Karyn Gallwitz, 46, of Orange Lake.
The Maxima continued to spin and rolled several times, throwing Alvarez-Alvarez from the car. He was not wearing a seatbelt.
Gallwitz died at the scene of crash, which occurred at 8:32 p.m., according to FHP.
Alvarez-Alvarez was taken to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville for treatment. After he was released from the hospital, he was taken to the Alachua County Jail on a warrant from the FHP. He later was transferred to the Marion County Jail.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Charley. Frances. Jeanne. For most of us those names bring back bad memories. Blue tarps, sweltering days, and long, hot, frustrating lines at the gas station.
That summer of 2004, people waited hours to fill up if they could even find a station that was open.
Since then, lawmakers passed a law requiring gas stations to be ready for a storm.
[MAP: Gas stations the state requires work without electricity]
But in an exclusive investigation, Local 6 uncovered why we may not be any better off than we were in 2004.
Gas pumps cannot run without electricity, so state lawmakers came up with a solution: make sure the pumps can be powered externally.
The law took effect in 2007 and requires anyone who builds a new gas station in Florida to install a transfer switch. The device allows the station to switch to an outside source of electricity, like a generator, in case of an outage.
Amin Gulamali, who owns the Shell at 846 Kirkman Road in Orlando, said the electrical equipment and installation cost him $25,000.
"It allows us to operate the gasoline unit, the dispensing unit, the registers, and I think they have connected the walk-in cooler also. If you plug in a generator to this box," he said.
And it's not just new gas stations that need a transfer switch. Old stations within a half-mile of an evacuation route are also required to install one.
Local 6 obtained statistics from the Florida Department of Agriculture. In Orange County, 70 gas stations are now generator-ready out of all 512 stations county-wide. That means only 14 percent of all pumps in Orange County can be connected to a generator.
Other counties:
Seminole - 9%
Osceola – 33%
Lake - 28%
Brevard – 14%
Flagler – 59%
Volusia – 8%
"That's not good. That's long lines, lots of people trying to get out of town, no way to get out, and not enough gas," said Mark Duart, who vividly remembers the 2004 hurricane season.
But there's a bigger problem with the lawmakers' solution.
Local 6 could find only one permanent generator in Volusia County at the Love's truck stop off I-95 in Ormond Beach. Manager Bill Volage said Love's is a primary filling station for utility trucks and first responder vehicles.
Local 6 checked with Orange County, where emergency managers say as far they know, none of the gas stations have generators.
Gas station owners said it's like having a plug without an outlet.
"This does nothing without a generator?" Local 6 asked Gulamali.
"You're absolutely right," said Gulamali. "And you don't have any generators? I don't have any generators. You haven't bought any, you're not storing them somewhere? The law says we don't have to have a generator, all we have to have is a transfer switch."
Gulamali said he has no plans to buy one even if he can find one after a storm. He said he's staying home and won't force his staff to go to work either. Gulamali said it's not worth the risk.
"Mostly I feel this is a waste of money for the small business owners. To spend $25,000, I could have used that money somewhere else. It's just a piece of equipment that will never be used," he said.
Gulamali said he hasn't used his transfer switch in the 7 years that his Shell has been open. If he had to, he said he wouldn't know how, and claims to hook up a generator he'd have to call in an electrician-- if he could find one after a storm.
"If there's a storm, what does the public get out this?" Local 6 asked Gulamali.
"I don't think anything. Because if I don't have a generator, I cannot even use it," he replied.
The Department of Agriculture is tasked with enforcing the transfer switch law. Press Secretary Erin Gillespie told Local 6 that all stations required to comply are in compliance.
Gillespie said Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam would not be available for comment and instead suggested Local 6 contact "local legislators or your local emergency management, who might be able to speak better to the topic."
Local emergency management also declined to go on camera with Local 6, instead emailing the following statement:
"Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has statutory responsibilities related to commercial dispensing systems and implementation (and enforcement) of the standby electric system statutes. Department of Environmental Protection separately has duties related to fuel storage tanks. Only DACS and DEP can provide the most current info as they routinely perform their required fuel facility inspections.
Also note that DACS and DEP field staff indicate that very few fuel stations have permanently installed gensets. The statute only requires installation of genset prewire standby system. The fuel station owner/operator is responsible for providing a genset when needed.
This is not an issue that DEM has authority so I would recommend the EM Directors let the reporter know to contact DACS or DEP."
Local 6 reached out to Congressman Bill Posey and Florida Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, who both helped craft the legislation, but did not receive a response.
Former Congresswoman and State Representative Sandy Adams, who also helped write the law, did agree to go on camera.
"Where are they going to get a generator after a storm hits?" Local 6 asked Adams.
"Well I would hope they would reconsider their thought process on that," Adams replied.
Adams said instead of buying a generator, gas stations could contract with a company that would deliver one after a storm.
"If there's no damage and the only thing that's there is no power, and they have the ability to hook up that generator and pour that fuel out, think about the generators that could run off that fuel. That could be life-saving," said Adams.
Adams believes it's a station owner's moral responsibility to open and sell gas after a hurricane, if it's safe to do so.
"It's not one of those things where we're requiring them to take chances to go back to open up, but if they can open up, and they have the ability to pull that fuel out, and help the people in the community on the recovery end, I think that's very important," said Adams. "You have the ability to help your community, wouldn't you want to?"
Owners with more than 10 gas stations are required by law to have access to a generator, but this doesn't apply to individually owned gas stations, Gulamali's.

Otis's Story
I hear real good with my big ears!
So what if I'm not the brightest kitten in the world! I gotta lot going for me: I'm buff colored, I've got stripes, and I'm SUPER sweet. Some people find my large ears appealing. My nickname is "The Goof". It takes me a little while to figure out what's going on, but once I figure it out I can play just as good as the next guy. I get along great with other cats: there's a photo of me commiserating with Kendra and Scrappy an adoption fair.
My siblings and I were rescued from a plumbing supply yard in San Jose. Running around the yard and hiding in stacks of pipe was fun, but being indoors and being loved is the best!
I'd do best in a quiet home with lots of love. Won't you take me home?

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y., Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Police in New York state said an 8-year-old boy will not be charged after crashing his mother's car into a fence, a street sign and a fire hydrant.
Cheektowaga Police Capt. James Speyer said April Haynes called 911 shortly after 6 a.m. Monday and reported her 8-year-old son, Andrew Letts, was missing along with her car, The Buffalo News reported Tuesday.
Police said they discovered the car on the lawn of a nearby neighbor and the boy was uninjured. They said Andrew had driven the vehicle about a half mile from his home before turning around, and on the return trip he jumped a curb, kicked over a stop sign and collided with a fire hydrant before coming to rest on the lawn.
"There's really nothing we can charge him with because he's so young, but his mother's auto insurer will likely have some money to pay out for the damages he caused," Speyer said.
The boy's reasons for taking his mother's car for a drive were unclear Tuesday.
The Buffalo News said it was unable to reach Haynes for comment.
