DEAR AMY: Many times you have advised engaged couples who are facing possible deal-breaking issues (usually involving other family members) that unless they are both prepared to put their marriage at the center of their lives, they should not tie the knot. How about married couples who are faced with issues later during their marriage?
I am 66 and 12 years into my second marriage. The past six years have revolved around my 25-year-old stepson's heroin addiction, related felony convictions, sex-offender conviction, prison sentences and parole violations. My wife has centered our life on her son and in my opinion is his greatest enabler, with no signs of change in the future.
I love this woman and want to spend the rest of my life with her. Before marrying, I agreed that she and her son were a package deal. That was when he was a child (his father had died). Who could have seen this coming?
However, I am done with the daily drama. I feel he is long overdue to take responsibility for his choices and actions. I want to feel our marriage is at the center of our lives. I have not felt this in six years. I feel I'm being selfish in wanting my life back.
We have been to numerous counselors only to end the sessions at the slightest hint that the marriage should be of prime importance. We've talked of divorce, and I guess that's where we are heading. Do you have any wisdom? -- Sad Stepdad
DEAR SAD: Let me reframe this for you: In the spirit of the "package deal," think of this as an effort to save your stepson's life.
Your wife's behavior so far has contributed to his worsening situation. Unless she is willing to see things differently and change her behavior, her son will continue to spiral downward. If he is a heroin addict and she is giving him money, for instance, she might as well put a needle in his arm.
One reason to place your marriage at the center of your lives is because it will give your family the strength to cope with this extreme challenge. If you two can agree on a basic course of action, your relationship will survive. A strong marriage will ultimately help your stepson. For inspiration, read "Don't Let Your Kids Kill You: A Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children," by Charles Rubin (2007, New Century).
Meet with a therapist qualified to counsel families of addicts. If your wife is unable to acknowledge the need for change to save her son, then I agree that sadly your marriage probably will not survive.
DEAR AMY: My 45-year-old daughter is getting a divorce after 20 years of marriage and two children. As her parents, should we remove all pictures of our ex-son-in-law from our home? We're not sure what to do. -- Perplexed Parents
DEAR PERPLEXED: Ask your daughter how she feels about this. Some families are able to weather a divorce and still acknowledge a relationship with the ex-spouse as an important part of the family's history. This is especially valuable to children.
DEAR AMY: "Grumpy Old Man" wrote to you about his extreme frustration with the presence of neighbor kids in his yard retrieving their baseballs. Your answer could have included a couple of other considerations: Kids grow up quickly; these teenagers will soon move past playing baseball in the back yard.
Grumpy will continue to be neighbors with the parents long after the teenagers have moved out. If Grumpy decides to confront them, he may alleviate a temporary nuisance and replace it with permanent bad feelings between him and his neighbors. Grumpy may even find that he will miss the kids later.
Another option might be to approach the teenagers and ask them to help with a little lawn work in return for using his back yard. The teenagers might choose for themselves not to use Grumpy's back yard. Better yet, Grumpy gets help raking the leaves. -- Luke
DEAR LUKE: I love your take on this — and your solution.

"Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved" (D&C 87:8).
Standing on Higher Ground
By David L. Beck
Young Men General President
The 2013 Mutual theme is taken from Doctrine and Covenants 87:8: "Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come." The question I hope every young man will ponder throughout this coming year is, Am I standing in holy places?
As I have met with valiant young men all around the world, I have witnessed firsthand how thousands of you are doing this already in so many ways. You stand in the holiest of places each time you enter the temple to perform baptisms for the dead. I encourage you to take every opportunity available to enter the temple and to always be worthy to do so.
As you pray and study the scriptures, strive to keep the commandments, and listen to the promptings of the Spirit, you will find yourself on higher ground. As a consequence, wherever you are can become a holy place.
Each day as you fulfill your duty to God, you stand in holy places and are in a position to lift others. You stand in holy places as you prepare, bless, and pass the sacrament each Sunday. You stand in holy places as you share the gospel and when you act as a standing minister—one who is always able, willing, and worthy to serve and strengthen others.
As an Aaronic Priesthood holder, you have been given the charge to warn, expound, exhort, teach, and invite all to come unto Christ (see D&C 20:59). President Harold B. Lee (1899–1973) said: "You cannot lift another soul until you are standing on higher ground than he is. . . . You cannot light a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul" ("Stand Ye in Holy Places," Ensign, July 1973, 123). Young men, this means you should continually work to strengthen your testimony and always be willing to share it.
You have a sacred responsibility to be an instrument in the Lord's hands. As you pray and study the scriptures, strive to keep the commandments, and listen to the promptings of the Spirit, you will find yourself on higher ground. As a consequence, wherever you are can become a holy place. Then, when situations arise, you will have the strength, courage, and the ability to help lift others. You will have the power and protection the Lord promises those who stand in holy places.
I love what President Thomas S. Monson said about these promises when he assured us that as we draw near to the Lord, "we will feel His Spirit in our lives, providing us the desire and the courage to stand strong and firm in righteousness—to 'stand . . . in holy places, and be not moved' (D&C 87:8).
"As the winds of change swirl around us and the moral fiber of society continues to disintegrate before our very eyes, may we remember the Lord's precious promise to those who trust in Him: 'Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee' (Isaiah 41:10)" ("Stand in Holy Places," Liahona or Ensign, Nov. 2011, 86).
Holy Places in Your Life
By Elaine S. Dalton
Young Women General President
This year's Mutual theme invites you to step out of the world and into the kingdom of God. As President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, has taught, we live in enemy territory ("How to Survive in Enemy Territory," Liahona, Oct. 2012, 34–37; New Era, Apr. 2012, 2–5). "Stand ye in holy places" is the key to survival.
Anywhere you are where the Spirit is present can be a holy place. If you live worthy of the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, then you stand in a holy place.
This theme invites important questions: What is a holy place? Where is a holy place? How can we stand in holy places? How do we make places we regularly inhabit more holy? As you seek answers to these questions, your answers will guide your associations, your choice of activities, and your dress, words, and actions.
You have committed to strengthen your home and family. Strive to make your home a holy place, filled with the Spirit of the Lord. You can support family prayer and scripture study.
Your room can be a holy place that invites the Spirit. If the prophet were to see your room, would he view it as a holy place? Do you?
We can stand in holy places as we go to church. The scriptures teach that the wards and stakes of Zion are holy places that will "be for a defense, and for a refuge from the storm" (D&C 115:6).
The most holy place on earth is the temple. President Thomas S. Monson has said: "My young friends who are in your teenage years, always have the temple in your sights. Do nothing which will keep you from entering its doors and partaking of the sacred and eternal blessings there. I commend those of you who already go to the temple regularly to perform baptisms for the dead" ("The Holy Temple—a Beacon to the World," Liahona or Ensign, May 2011, 93). Always be worthy to have a current temple recommend, even if a temple is far away.
Anywhere you are where the Spirit is present can be a holy place. President Harold B. Lee (1899–1973) taught that holy places have more to do with how one lives than where one lives (See Doctrine and Covenants Student Manual: Religion 324 and 325, 2nd ed. [Church Educational System manual, 2001], 196). If you live worthy of the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, then you stand in a holy place.
Every temple has the inscription "Holiness to the Lord." Seek to always stand in holy places. As you live the standards, pray daily, and read the scriptures—especially the Book of Mormon—you will feel the companionship of the Holy Ghost. The Lord Himself promises you, "For verily I say unto you, that great things await you" (D&C 45:62). I agree and testify that this is true!

Report shows reforms work
January 29, 2013
The Shumlin administration presented a report on financing a single-payer health care system to the Legislature on Jan. 24. It once again demonstrates that we can provide comprehensive health care to all Vermonters at less overall cost. This is the last in a long line of official reports that has come to the same conclusion about single-payer.
The report shows that we will save $281 million dollars over the first three years of a single-payer system in Vermont. All Vermonters will be covered, and this coverage will be more comprehensive than what many Vermonters are currently getting, or will get in the exchange. With single-payer we replace our premiums with taxes, and the report shows we will be paying less than Vermonters and employers currently pay in premiums ($1.6 billion as opposed to the current amount we pay of $3 billion).
No doubt, this report is just the start. It shows us different sources of revenue for single-payer, but it does not recommend a particular mix of taxes. (The Legislature will not vote on a specific plan until 2015.) But, let's keep in mind that for decades, health insurance companies have told us they can fix our broken health care system. They had their chance — and they blew it! We're already paying for a broken system. Let's find a fair way to pay for a system that actually works.

"Twinkies!" That sweet word was Port Orange resident Joanne Giello's simple exclamation when asked why she was waiting in line Sunday morning in the chilly air with dozens of others at the Merita Bakery Outlet store on South Nova Road.
DAYTONA BEACH — "Twinkies!"
That sweet word was Port Orange resident Joanne Giello's simple exclamation when asked why she was waiting in line Sunday morning in the chilly air with dozens of others at the Merita Bakery Outlet store on South Nova Road.
The store and 569 other Hostess outlet locations nationwide are giving consumers what may be their last chance to stock up on Twinkies, Ding Dongs and similar treats.
Sweets-seekers began lining up in front of the store at least an hour before its 9 a.m. opening Sunday in hopes of being able to buy some of the remaining stock of the various baked goods inside. Bakery Outlet locations around the country sold single serving packs of the products for 50 cents apiece Sunday.
Hostess Brands, maker of popular baked desserts such as the Twinkie and owner of other food brands such as Wonder Bread and Merita Bread, is liquidating after failing to reach an agreement with its workers' union.
A bankruptcy judge gave interim approval to the liquidation on Nov. 21. Nationwide, 18,500 people will lose their jobs and all 570 outlet locations will close. At the Nova Road location alone, 19 people will lose their jobs.
While many analysts say it's likely another company will pick up production of many of the products through a bankruptcy auction, the thought of a Twinkie-less world has sparked a feeding frenzy on the beleaguered company's products.
And the Nova Road location – the only outlet store in Volusia and Flagler counties – was no exception.
Elizabeth Dickenson of Edgewater shared Giello's concern about Hostess going out of business. As the first one in line Sunday, she had the perfect spot to look through the glass doors and "scope out the store," in her words.
When the doors swung open, the crowd packed into the small building, quickly seeking out their favorite treats. Many were in and out in less than a few minutes after grabbing an armful or a basketful of goodies and paying a visit to the cashier.
Most customers left the store with a smile on their faces, glowing with a sense of accomplishment – and perhaps a bit of a craving to satisfy, too.
As for the Twinkies, they sold out in less than a hour Sunday at the Nova Road store.
A clerk said more Twinkies might be included in the next truck delivery to the store later Sunday or Monday, but he wasn't sure.
A Hostess spokeswoman said the stores will stay open with regular hours (9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Nova Road location) until all the products are gone.
A fair supply of bread, chocolate cupcakes and Zingers remained at the Nova Road store mid-Sunday afternoon.
Just no Twinkies, alas.

29 Kan. App. 2d 947
(34 P3d 478)
No. 86,620
PHILLIP H. O'MALLEY, Appellant/cross-appellee, v. RONALD L. FRAZIER and KATHRYN A. FRAZIER, Appellees/cross-appellants.
Under the plain language of K.S.A. 60-520(a), the part payment of the principal of a time-barred promissory note will toll the statute of limitations and revive the entire note.
Appeal from Crawford District Court; NELSON E. TOBUREN, judge. Opinion filed November 16, 2001. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Kevin F. Mitchelson and Jason P. Wiske, of Wheeler & Mitchelson, Chartered, of Pittsburg, for appellant/cross-appellee.
Mark S. Gunnison and Robin E. Scully, II, of Payne & Jones, Chartered, of Overland Park, for appellees/cross-appellants.
Before RULON, C.J., GREEN, J., and PADDOCK, S.J.
PADDOCK, J.: In an action to collect on a past-due note once barred by the statute of limitations, the district court ruled circumstances under which part payment was made revived only the principal obligation of the promissory note, but not the obligation to pay interest. Creditor Phillip H. O'Malley appeals, claiming it was error to only revive the principal term of the note. In addition, the debtors, Ronald L. and Kathryn A. Frazier, cross-appeal, claiming that the trial court erred in reviving the principal portion of the note.
On May 24, 1984, in consideration of a loan of $27,000 made to them by O'Malley, the Fraziers executed a 90-day note to O'Malley for the amount of the loan with interest at 14% per annum. The Fraziers defaulted on the note but made sporadic interest payments until September 9, 1987. Over 12 years later on January 24, 2000, the Fraziers delivered a $5,000 check to O'Malley as a principal payment on the note and indicated the balance of $22,000 principal would be paid in the near future.
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Frazier offered to pay O'Malley the remaining principal balance of $22,000 in full satisfaction of the debt. O'Malley refused the offer.
On July 13, 2000, O'Malley sued the Fraziers for the balance of principal and interest due on the note.
The Fraziers defended by claiming the debt was barred by the statute of limitations. The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and the district court entered judgment for O'Malley for $22,000 but denied his claim for prejudgment interest.
The applicable limitation period for an action upon any agreement, contract, or promise in writing is 5 years. K.S.A. 60-511. It is without dispute that the period had run by the time the Fraziers paid the $5,000 and that O'Malley sued the Fraziers within 5 years of the $5,000 payment.
The district court ruled the $5,000 payment was made toward the principal and was applied on the principal and that the Fraziers had always indicated their intention to repay the principal, but the same could not be said for the interest. The court reasoned it could split the note into two claims and grant judgment for the principal but deny the claim for interest. We disagree.
This case is controlled by K.S.A. 60-520(a), which states:
"(a) Effect. In any case founded on contract, when any part of the principal or interest shall have been paid, or an acknowledgment of an existing liability, debt or claim, or any promise to pay the same, shall have been made, an action may be brought in such case within the period prescribed for the same, after such payment, acknowledgment or promise; but such acknowledgment or promise must be in writing, signed by the party to be charged thereby." (Emphasis added.)
In interpreting a statute, our review is unlimited. Dougan v. Rossville Drainage Dist., 270 Kan. 468, 472, 15 P.3d 338 (2000).
Under the plain language of the statute, part payment by the debtor will toll the statute of limitations. Any of the three means mentioned in the statute--payment, acknowledgment, or promise--starts anew the period of limitations which would have been applicable had an action been brought on the original debt or claim. See Morton v. Leslie, 150 Kan. 213, 215, 92 P.2d 90 (1939) (citing G.S. 1935, 60-312, the predecessor of K.S.A. 60-520[a]). The statute provides no means for reviving one part of the debt and not another. When the statute is clear, it must be applied without judicial construction. Kilner v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 252 Kan. 675, 682, 847 P.2d 1292 (1993).
The district court, in support of its decision, cited Golden Rule Oil Co. v. Liebst, 153 Kan. 123, 109 P.2d 95 (1941). In Golden Rule, the court refused to revive the note by relying on the identical predecessor to K.S.A. 60-520. However, the critical distinction between the facts in Golden Rule and the instant case was that the debtor in Golden Rule did not make a part payment on the debt.
The Golden Rule court was scrutinizing the text of letters written by the debtor to see if they operated as an "acknowledgment" in removing the limitations bar. 153 Kan. at 124. Part payment does not require such scrutiny as it speaks for itself. See Fisher v. Pendleton, 184 Kan. 322, 336 P.2d 472 (1959); accord Hustead v. Bendix Corp., 233 Kan. 870, 666 P.2d 1175 (1983).
In Hustead, the court made it clear that part payment and acknowledgment are distinct means to revive a time-barred claim under K.S.A. 60-520. The court pointed out that pursuant to K.S.A. 60-520, a part payment is an executed acknowledgment that requires no writing to establish it and has the effect of tolling the statute of limitations. 233 Kan. at 877.
Both parties rely on Jarnagin v. Ditus, 198 Kan. 413, 424 P.2d 265 (1967). Such reliance is misplaced. That case differs significantly in reason and facts from the instant case. First, the case did not discuss the effect of K.S.A. 60-520. Second, the issue was whether there was an authorized payment on a debt barred by limitations. Here, authority to apply the part payment to the time-barred debt is not an issue.
The Fraziers' part payment revived the promissory note as to principal and interest.
Reversed and remanded with directions that the district court proceed to enforce the entire note as revived.

Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900) was an American novelist, short story writer, poet and journalist. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation.
The eighth surviving child of highly devout parents, Crane was raised in several New Jersey towns and Port Jervis, New York. He began writing at the age of four and had published several articles by the age of 16. Having little interest in university studies, he left school in 1891 and began work as a reporter and writer. Crane's first novel was the 1893 Bowery tale Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, which critics generally consider the first work of American literary Naturalism. He won international acclaim for his 1895 Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage, which he wrote without any battle experience.
In 1896, Crane endured a highly publicized scandal after acting as a witness for a suspected prostitute. Late that year he accepted an offer to cover the Spanish-American War as a war correspondent. As he waited in Jacksonville, Florida for passage to Cuba, he met Cora Taylor, the madam of a brothel with whom he would have a lasting relationship. While en route to Cuba, Crane's ship sank off the coast of Florida, leaving him adrift for several days in a dinghy. His ordeal was later described in "The Open Boat". During the final years of his life, he covered conflicts in Greece and Cuba, and lived in England with Cora, where he befriended writers such as Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells. Plagued by financial difficulties and ill health, Crane died of tuberculosis in a Black Forest sanatorium at the age of 28.

Is how to get a shitshow and snobbish bartender to give you a free beer.
But I'm serious. It requires penetrating an impenetrable defense. The casual manipulation of personality. The allure of a fucking god for fucking gods sake. Also the intoxicated concentration and focus of a dragon. Or a panther... or a falcon. I haven't decided yet.
And don't get me started if bartender is a lady.
I sure as hell can't do it
How do or would you do it?
Post Script. You see how I sold that in the title yeah? Lol
Also, please do not apply these methods to the gracious and generous keeps at the Old Viking Club. I'm more than happy to buy you a round there if your pennies are pinching.

@Alex would you mind sharing which six lenses that you consider are essential are. I have a new Canon T4i and three lenses but I am always interested in what other photographers use. I take pictures but don't consider myself a true "photographer" - that is one of my next things to hone my skills at since retirement. I am concentrating on Photoshop first-recently got PS CS6 and am trying to really learn and understand that!
You are hereForums › General › Photography › Cameras
I use a Canon Rebel T3i, and I love it. It is big, but I have a big purse and typically have it wherever I go. My hubby surprised me with it two years ago for Christmas, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
I have a Canon Xsi, which I love, but I would eventually like to upgrade. I really think this camera here though- so nice and small and the pictures are amazing!
I have a Canon EOS 500D (plus a large zoom lense and a macro lense) as my "big" camera. I also have the Canon D10 small camera which does really well - you can take underwater pictures (which is what we bought it for - snorkeling) and it takes surprisingly good photos though glass on its "aquarium" setting. There's also an Olympus film camera knocking around somewhere but I've just about given that up.
I have a brand new Canon 600D. Hoping I learn to use it soon because at the moment, it's just a big paperweight!
I have not exactly mastered my 500D but you can do heaps with just the automatic settings.
I have a Canon Rebel T2i, recently upgraded from a Nikon D5000. I bought the Nikon with my graduation money 3 years ago, and the change in clarity between the two (6 megapixel difference) is awesome. I'm still learning all the setting differences switching from Nikon to Canon (I actually preferred the Nikon in the control aspect), and I now have more than just a kit lens which is new to me too. When I first bought my SLR, I always had the intention of buying at least one more lens, but, being a poor college student, I never had enough set aside at one time. I've been looking for a point and shoot though, so I'll have to look up the S90. No matter how hard you try, it's almost impossible to take a picture of yourself while holding an SLR camera, so I've missed out on a lot of shots of myself with friends at parties and things when I didn't want to lug my camera with me or didn't trust someone else to hold the camera and take our picture for fear of it being stolen or dropped. And an iPhone camera just doesn't cut it.
I have a Nikon D7000 but I don't have to time to go and take photographs. My husband gave it to me as an anniversary gift and when I learned to take picture with an SLR camera I was pregnant almost 6 months. And I have a little baby boy and I use camera to take my little's photos generally. And we travels to much and it's really hard to carry my Nikon beside of my baby's gigantic bags. SO I use outside my phone's camera. I have a pocket size Olympus but I don't like to take pictures with it because of its settings. It's not user friendly.
I hope I can find some time to take picture outside. But I always feel I'm tired
I haven't been able to upgrade to a DSLR yet. I am currently using my fujifilm advanced point and shoot. It has a similar body but smaller than a SLR and I can't change the lens. But it does have some great settings and I can go into manual mode with it
I have just bought a Canon Powershot SX 50 HS, the battery has now charged up and I am ready and raring to go!
First off let me say that if my camera would take photos as good as yours Marisa, I wouldn't want any other camera. I was surprised that it was a point and shoot but when I saw the cost I can see why it takes good pics. I honestly didn't think that they made point & shoot cameras that cost that much. What I would like to know is if you use the manual settings or basically just on automatic?
My sister and I thought we could step-it-up-a-notch when we bought our last camera a couple of years ago and it is totally a love/hate relationship. Truthfully I think the biggest problem is that I just don't really know how to use it! It is a Canon PowerShot SX30 IS, which was in the "expensive" range for what we financially could afford. We took a 30 minute crash course with a guy from a camera shop which helped a little but not nearly enough. He kept on saying the "program mode" was our friend and basically that is what I use. The "M" mode is totally over my head and believe me I have tried to learn, it just doesn't soak in!
I can take half-way decent photos outside but inside they are usually horrible!! My outside pics can instantly go from good to bad just with the sun going in and out of the clouds. In the end I guess I have found that sites like PicMonkey is my better friend because that is usually where I end up..trying to hide my imperfections!
@Lana: Our camera isn't really a point and shoot. It's small and you can put it in automatic mode, so it resembles a point and shoot in that respect, but it has full manual control. Most of the photos we take are using manual.
What really helps me to properly set up a shot is to have the histogram showing on the camera screen. This way I know if I've balanced the light right and I don't have to worry too much about details. I know some about different camera terms (ISO, F-stop, shutter speed), but mostly I just watch the histogram to make sure I'm properly exposed.
I got my 1st SLR for my college graduation from my hubs :: a Minolta that I LOVED! Went digital a few years later and converted to Nikon- I have a D90 and it's my work horse! I've toyed around with upgrading to a full frame with a higher frames-per-second, as my passion comes in the form of sports and action photography! But for now, my D90 paired with a 24-70 or my 70-300 is doing to trick nicely!
I have an older Canon Rebel XT (from like 2005, can't beat $65 off Craigslist!) and a Kodak Easyshare C1550. I absolutely love them both. I started getting into photography last year when I moved to North Carolina and I got really good pictures with my Kodak EasyShare. It was until a few months ago, around like February, when I started getting more serious about it and found a Canon DSLR on Craiglist and bought it that day. It's not the newest, most expensive equipment but it's great since I'm a beginner and I still get great results. Hooray for Craigslist! (:
I have a older Canon, a G3. Looking at possibly a Canon 3Ti with a good prime lens for that wonderful bokeh. Wish I had a good camera like that when my girls were little. To all the young moms out there, your kids grow faster than we wish, so cherish the moments and memories, whether you have a picture or not!
I just went and purchased the Sony DSC-WX300. So far so good, but the biggest downfall is that it doesn't have manual settings at all. There are 12 different settings, so I think it will be okay for me, since I don't know about photography anyway and don't have time to learn right now. We compared it to the Canon PowerShot SX280 and settled on this one.

Product SKU: A8W12154
829 Wheels By Asanti. Asanti wheels are known all over the globe as a standard for both extreme durability and astonishing design. The secret of the flawless quality of Asanti wheels lies in the manufacturing process used by the company's experts. The forging process modifies the molecular structure of metal due to the combination of enormous pressure and heat applied to a wheel. The first stage starts by heating a billet of alloy and pressing it in a forging press. Depending on the wheel type (monoblock, 2-piece, or 3-piece), the next steps can have variations. After the final design is achieved, the wheel is given the finish. As forging involves enormous pressure, the material becomes extremely compact, which means there will be no voids or porosity that, in the long run, can lead to cracks and corrosion. Dense structure enables forged wheels to maintain their luster for a much longer period of time compared to cast wheels. GIVE US A CALL TO SPEAK TO ONE OF OUR WHEEL EXPERTS ABOUT SPECIAL FITMENTS AND/OR PRICING.

BALTIMORE — High school basketball player Aquille Carr, a 5-foot-7 point guard who has committed to play at Seton Hall, has been arrested in his native Baltimore on charges of assaulting the mother of his child.
Baltimore police said the 18-year-old Carr, who played at Patterson High in Baltimore before transferring this spring to St. Patrick High in Elizabeth, N.J., was arrested Friday. He faces two misdemeanor charges: second-degree assault and reckless endangerment. Online court records do not list an attorney for him and he has a hearing set for Sept. 19.
Seton Hall's school athletics spokesman said Carr has not signed a formal agreement to play for the Pirates, but has committed verbally.

Wayland SIFE team helping with local branch of Small Business Center
PLAINVIEW – The Students in Free Enterprise team at Wayland Baptist University are partnering with the Small Business Development Center in Lubbock to create a branch office in Plainview.
Located in the Nunn Business Building, the branch office will be open the first Tuesday of each month, beginning in January. Additional appointments can be made as needed, and appointments for the local branch will be scheduled through the Lubbock office of the SBDC.
The partnership is a win-win for both the SBDC and the SIFE students.
"This will help us to have more of a presence in Plainview and to reach more potential and existing entrepreneurs in the area," said Steve Anderson, director of the Texas Tech University SBDC at Lubbock. "We do have clients and success stories in Plainview, but the distance can be a factor."
Stephanie Clements, a senior at Wayland and the SIFE president, said the group is excited about the partnership.
"This came up in conversation with Steve Anderson and we felt like it would be a great opportunity for both sides," Clements said. "This will open a whole lot of doors for the SIFE team as well."
The format will match businesspersons with an SBDC counselor as well as a SIFE student studying in that area in order to provide hands-on learning with business situations.
"This will give the SIFE students some practical business experience about real small business issues, in order to use what they're learning in classes and put it to real practical use," Anderson said, adding that the Lubbock branch works often with Tech students and has found the experience helpful to everyone. "They'll work in conjunction with the SBDC business counselor and provide some services they are able to do."
"We hope to set up a mentor system where the area business owners will have someone locally that knows their case," Clements added. "We can help pitch ideas and work them with as needed. This provides a lot of valuable information for us and gets our business majors involved with real businesses in the community."
The Small Business Development Center in Lubbock serves a 15-county area, and the Plainview site will be open to any businesspersons or potential entrepreneurs from Hale County, Castro County, Swisher County and Floyd County who prefer to visit Plainview rather than make the Lubbock drive.
SIFE is an organization of students who coordinate projects and events to promote business awareness, entrepreneurship, ethics and financial literacy throughout the community. Students work in local schools and with local businesses to promote better business practices and interest in business.
Clements said the SIFE team is considering providing teleconference seminars on business issues through SBDC in the future, using the teleconference facilities at Wayland.
For more information or to begin scheduling appointments, contact the SBDC at (806) 745-1637.

Facebook product manager David Baser gave a nice, detailed interview to AdExchanger in which he revealed that Facebook has a plan that, if successful, will make the infamous tracking cookie look like a second class relic of history.
Cookies are the little bits of code that advertisers drop onto web users' browsers in order to follow them around the web and target them with relevant ads. They don't identify users specifically, but they do identify your interests based on the sites you look at.
Facebook, however, is working on something much more targeted. Baser calls it "Optimized CPM." (Cost per thousand, or "mille," is a standard ad-pricing measurement.)
OCPM is so simple (in principle), it's brilliant. Facebook knows that users who log in mostly forget to log out, and thus they can be tracked around the web all day, especially if they interact with those "like" buttons that many non-Facebook web pages have installed (like the one on top of this page).
The difference between cookies and Facebook user IDs, Baser says, is that cookies are anonymous and don't really know who you are, whereas your Facebook user ID is actually you. Also, your Facebook ID follows you easily from your phone to your laptop and back. Cookies can't do that.
In plain English, it means that private, untracked web browsing will become a thing of the past for anyone who forgets to log out of Facebook.
By targeting ads at the user IDs, Facebook can find out which users are more likely to buy things than others. Those users can then be grouped together and targeted with ads. Those audiences have much greater conversion rates -- ie sales generated -- than with cookie targeting, Baser believes. This is called "Conversion Measurement," and when it's linked to OCPM, advertisers will come to regard the cookie as the poor cousin of web advertising, Baser hints.
It's important to note that advertisers won't know that they're targeting "you" specifically with ads. Just that facebook's algorithms have grouped your account into a pool with similar behavior that can be targeted. The system will be anonymous, in other words, even though it's based on your actual Facebook identity.
Here are the highlights from the Baser Q&A:
"The key difference is that other conversion measurement systems rely on dropping cookies on the users when they see or click on the ad. We understand who the user is regardless of whether they're logged into Facebook on the app or on the mobile phone."
"Once we have this system based on user IDs and not based on cookies, we can use it to have consistent attribution across web, mobile and even multi-browser on the desktop."
"Right now our primary focus is on two things. One is getting the measurement system adopted as widely as possible, and two is providing high quality optimization based on measurement."

The national political climate is always a hot topic among cattlemen, and listening to National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) President Bill Donald speak recently revealed some of ranchers' top concerns about the current political landscape in Washington, D.C. As 2012 draws near, things will get interesting with a presidential election, an expiring farm bill and soaring budget deficits. Here are some thoughts McDonald shared about how agriculture and government can meet and what can be done to capitalize on opportunities coming down the pike.
"In U.S. politics, there are two distinctly different philosophies. The competing philosophies on what the role of government should be are so deeply ingrained that our elected officials aren't able to do their jobs. Politics is so polarized that it makes it difficult to get the job done. Sadly, sometimes gridlock is our only savior. What we desperately need are some statesmen who understand the art of compromise to stand up , so we can move forward. We are stuck in the middle and not getting anywhere," says Donald.
Donald is hopeful these statesmen will stand up in 2012 to make much needed changes to solve the nation's deficit concerns without making agriculture take the bulk of the burden.
"As we look at the political arena from a cattleman's perspective, we currently have an administration that is attempting to regulate what they can't legislate. The administration is blurring the line between the legislative branch and the executive branch," he explains.
Donald said that since 2007, there have been 75,770 pages of rules written — rules that significantly impact the U.S. economy. And, it's some of these rules coming from GIPSA, the departments of Labor and Transportation that will greatly change the way farmers and ranchers do business.
"Our founding fathers were brilliant in coming up with three branches to keep the balance in government, and it would behoove our leaders to follow those principles. NCBA feels very strongly about the estate tax. There has been some discussion to raise the estate tax exemption to $5 million and lower the tax rate to 35%. Now, with budget cuts, they are seeking to reduce the exemption to $1 million and raise the tax to 55%. Of course, we feel it would be best to repeal the estate tax or at least get an agriculture exemption," Donald adds.
When the Department of Transportation (DOT) proposed a new rule that would require ranchers to have a CDL license to operate farm equipment, NCBA got involved in the conversation.
"We closely watched the DOT proposed rule, and we were able to get that rule pulled. There didn't seem to be much logical sense to have to know the rules required for driving an 18-wheeler on the road when you are at home driving four-wheelers and tractors," he says.
Of course, the news has been buzzing about the Department of Labor's (DOL) proposed child labor law.
"The DOL's proposed child labor law takes away one of the best things agriculture provides — instilling a hard work ethic in our kids. What do employers look for when hiring new people? They want a hard work ethic, which our kids get from doing chores, milking cows, using equipment, riding horses and having to be responsible. This rule would take away the very fiber of our industry," he says.
Donald stressed the importance for ranchers to stay involved in the political process and communicate their ideas to their elected officials.
"We need to help lead this country down a path to economic stability," Donald says.

A member of the Sun Belt Conference, the Western Kentucky have amassed a 21-20 record on the season, but have lost three straight games, including a pair of one-run games. All-time Tech is 6-4 against WKU, including a 9-7 win last season.

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) series
An upper GI series is an imaging test that uses a contrast medium (barium sulphate) and x-rays to produce pictures of the upper GI tract. The upper GI tract includes the esophagus, stomach and upper small intestine.
Barium is a chalky, white liquid that coats the inside of the organs and shows their outline clearly on an x-ray. A special x-ray (fluoroscopy imaging) creates a moving image of barium as it passes through the upper GI tract.
An upper GI series is also called a barium swallow.
Why an upper GI series is done
An upper GI series may be done to:
- examine the upper GI tract
- A barium swallow studies swallowing, the pharynx and the esophagus. It may be done separately or as part of an upper GI series
- An upper GI series studies the esophagus, stomach and upper small intestine.
- find the cause of symptoms, such as:
- difficulty swallowing
- vomiting
- weight loss
- upper abdominal pain
- bleeding into the GI tract
- diagnose cancer and other disorders of the upper digestive tract
How an upper GI series is done
An upper GI series is usually done as an outpatient procedure in the x-ray department of a hospital or clinic. It takes 20–45 minutes to take images of the esophagus and stomach. A follow-through study of the small intestine can also be done, which can take several hours.
- It is important for women to tell the x-ray technologist or radiologist if they are breast-feeding, pregnant or think they may be pregnant before having any type of x-ray.
- Preparation for an upper GI series can vary, but it usually includes:
- No eating or drinking after midnight the night before the test and until after the test is done.
- The person will be asked to remove clothing, jewellery and other objects that will be in the x-ray field and may interfere with the quality of the x-ray.
During the upper GI series:
- Depending on the area being studied, the person stands in front of the x-ray machine or lies on an x-ray table.
- A lead apron may be placed over the pelvic area to protect reproductive organs, depending on the area being studied.
- People are asked to stay very still and may be asked to hold their breath while the x-rays are being taken.
- X-rays are taken while the barium is being swallowed and as it moves through the esophagus, then the stomach and the small intestine.
- The x-ray table is raised and tilted different ways to spread the barium.
- The person may be asked to wait until the x-rays are developed and the staff is sure that the images are clear.
After the upper GI series, a mild laxative may be needed to get rid of the barium and prevent constipation.
- The person's stools may be white or lighter in colour for a few days following the test.
- Drinking plenty of fluids after the procedure helps to flush the barium solution from the body and helps to prevent constipation.
Potential side effects
X-rays involve low levels of ionizing radiation, which has the potential to cause cancer and other defects. The number and complexity of x-rays needed to diagnose and determine the extent of a disease can vary. Even with multiple and repeated x-rays, the total dose of radiation and the associated risk is small.
X-rays are strictly monitored and controlled to make sure they use the smallest amount of radiation possible. The expected benefits of the x-rays must always outweigh any possible risk for the x-rays to be done.
On rare occasions, the contrast dye may cause an allergic reaction.
What the results mean
An upper GI series can show:
- narrowing (strictures) in the esophagus or upper small intestine
- ulcers in the esophagus or stomach
- a blockage (obstruction) in the esophagus or small intestine
- a polyp or tumour in the esophagus, stomach or upper small intestine
- a problem with the flow of barium into the small intestine
- tumours in other organs that are pressing on the upper GI tract
What happens if a change or abnormality is found
The doctor will decide whether further tests, procedures, follow-up care or additional treatment are needed.
Special considerations for children
Being prepared for a test or procedure can reduce anxiety, increase cooperation and help the child develop coping skills. Parents and caregivers can help prepare children by explaining to them what will happen, including what they will see, feel and hear during the test.
The preparation you can provide for an upper GI series depends on the age and experience of the child. See the following for more age-specific information on helping children cope with tests and treatment.
A substance used in some diagnostic procedures to help parts of the body show up better on x-rays or other imaging tests.
In most cases, contrast medium is injected into or around the structure to be examined.
Also called contrast dye or contrast agent.
Making progress in the cancer fight
The 5-year cancer survival rate has increased from 25% in the 1940s to 60% today.

Gov. Pat Quinn used his election-year State of the State speech Wednesday to call for a higher minimum wage, more money for early childhood programs and doubling scholarships that help low-income college students.
Gov. Pat Quinn used his election-year State of the State speech Wednesday to call for a higher minimum wage, more money for early childhood programs and doubling scholarships that help low-income college students.
In a 40-minute speech to a joint session of the General Assembly, Quinn said Illinois is making a comeback during the five years that he has been governor.
"We've led Illinois' comeback one hard step at a time," Quinn said. "We've worked to repair decades of damage."
The Chicago Democrat noted he was giving his speech on the five-year anniversary of ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich's impeachment and his own installation as governor. Calling the time Illinois' "darkest moment," Quinn said the state was facing a crisis of corruption, fiscal instability and economic collapse.
Since then, Quinn said, the state has passed ethics reform, a massive public works construction program and same-sex marriage. It also, late last year, passed pension reform that is intended to save the state and pay off its pension debt, but which is adamantly opposed by public employee unions.
"It was hard, it was painful, and it took political courage," Quinn said. "But together we got the job done. Today, we can tell the people of Illinois we stopped the bleeding."
Better wages, benefits
As expected, Quinn called for an increase in the state's minimum wage to "at least" $10 an hour. Illinois' minimum wage is $8.25, while the federal rate is $7.25 an hour. He said minimum-wage workers are often living in poverty despite working hard, something he said is not right.
Quinn said he wants to ensure that all workers in Illinois should have at least two sick days at their jobs. He said 80 percent of low-income workers don't get any sick-day benefits.
The governor also said he wants to double the earned income tax credit over the next five years for lower-income workers.
Early childhood programs would get a boost under a Birth to Five Initiative outlined by Quinn. It would coordinate schools, hospitals and churches to identify expectant mothers and see that they receive prenatal services. Quinn also wants to ensure that children have access to early learning opportunities.
He called the initiative a "budget priority" but did not attach a price tag to it.
Although Quinn lauded the Illinois Jobs Now! infrastructure program passed during his term, he did not outline any proposal for new construction.
Also not mentioned by the governor was expiration of the temporary income tax hike at the end of this year, which is midway through the next state budget. Quinn's own budget office says expiration of the tax increase will cut $1.9 billion in revenue from the state.
Perfumed pig?
Republicans were quick to pounce on the omission. Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale, one of four Republicans running for governor, said Quinn's speech was more about what he didn't say.
"What are his plans because he promised the 67 percent income tax hike would be temporary?" Dillard said. "What are his plans to roll that back? I'm more concerned about what he didn't say than the perfume he put on the pig to cover up the fact we are rated 50th in economic outlook."
"I wanted to hear his commitment to the tax cut," said Sen. Bill Brady of Bloomington, another of the GOP contenders. "He failed to recommit to that."
Brady also dismissed Quinn's contention that things are looking up for the state.
"We need a governor who will focus and not be delusional about where we are as a state," he said.
Winnetka businessman Bruce Rauner called it "an election-year campaign speech from a governor who is failing the people of Illinois. We're one of the worst-run states in America. We have entered an economic death spiral. Governor Quinn is trying to cover it up and put a rosy picture on it."
The fourth Republican seeking to replace Quinn, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford, said he understood why Quinn wouldn't discuss the income tax issue in a State of the State speech.
"A tax increase is not popular to talk about. I understand why he wouldn't do it," Rutherford said. "Today was a speech for him to give the positives."
But Rutherford said any economic positives discussed by Quinn existed only in his mind.
'Turned the corner'
Quinn said the state has added 280,000 private-sector jobs since January 2010 and that unemployment is at its lowest rate in five years.
"I don't translate an 8.6 unemployment rate as something we should be bragging about right now," said House Republican Leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs.
However, Doug Whitley, president of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, thought the speech had positives, even if it was "a little vanilla."
"I liked the fact the governor made the point Illinois has turned the corner. I think he is correct on that," Whitley said.
A big negative, though, was the call for a minimum-wage hike, Whitley said.
At the same time, Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, a Republican, said she thinks the increase is a good idea.
"People realize a family can't live on that kind of money," Topinka said. "I know it would be a burden for business to carry. At the same time, you are going to have better employees if you do this."

Patch 4.3 will be unveiling the implementation of a new system called the Raid Finder.
Similar to the introduction of the Dungeon Finder before it, the Raid Finder is intended primarily to help those that do not really have access to a steady group of core players to raid on a regular basis.
If you're the main or offtank for a steady raiding guild, you might be asking yourself now as to what good the Raid Finder will do for you and, if in fact, there's anything you can really do with it at all.
The most obvious benefit is gear upgrades in addition to your regular raiding schedule. This means that if you have more time to try hunt for that one specific upgrade for a slot that never drops in the regular or heroic raid instance, you can always invest in some time in the Raid Finder and go at it to your heart's content until it actually drops, at which point, it should tide you over until you end up lucky in your regular raid.
Second is that, again, because it doesn't follow the rules for any of the raid lockouts, you can actually form up your full 25 raid and use the no-lockout dungeon to gain some extra practice time on a boss you might be struggling with. Now, Blizzard has actually stated that the Raid Finder instance will be tuned down to accomadate for the potential lack of communication between players from differing realms but at the very least, it'll help your group get accustomed to the mechanics and the ebb and flow of a fight. Once your group is comfortable with that aspect of it, heading into the normal raids and dealing with a bit of a damage boost to various abilities will be only a slight adjustment more isntead of struggling to deal with high incoming damage as well as various boss mechanics for the first time.
Also, a lot of us have those alts that we're itching to try out in a raid but never get the chance to due to guild politics preventing you from leaving your main character out during a scheduled raid or lack of interest when it comes to trying to form an alt raid of sorts. With the Raid Finder, this problem disappears as all you need to do is get together a few friends that maybe are in the same boat you are and queue up together. This way, you'll at least have a few people to watch your back if things go hilariously wrong or you can help each other roll for loot (provided that you're the same armor class), which will benefit your raid group as a whole in the future.
So get ready and push those Random Dungeon woes behind you as you try out the Raid Finder for the first time and whether it goes swimmingly or horribly, just try to relax and enjoy the new experience.
