Dale Earnhardt Jr. has no issues with NASCAR's championship format for the Sprint Cup Series, even as he heads to Talladega Superspeedway on the brink of elimination.
A broken shifter at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night dropped Earnhardt to last in the 12-driver field, and he'll need a victory at Talladega to advance to the third round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
He called NASCAR's new elimination format "dramatic" and said Tuesday during a test session at Phoenix International Raceway the system has "served us well."
Earnhardt, Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski are all in danger of being eliminated from the Chase on Sunday. The three are ranked in the bottom of the standings, and NASCAR now cuts four from the field after every third race.
Earnhardt, Johnson and Keselowski combined to win 10 of the 26 regular-season races.
Earnhardt, who has three victories this season, is realistic about his chances. He fell into this hole when he had a tire problem while leading two weeks ago at Kansas, and then the mechanical failure at Charlotte made his situation even worse.
"The facts are the facts," he said. "We are going to Talladega to try to win. We'll see what happens from there. We've had two pretty bad races, and we still have a chance to win it. We appreciate that."
The new format has been credited by the drivers for raising the stakes in the Chase. A win in any round automatically advances a driver, and four drivers will go to the season finale eligible to win the championship. The highest finisher at Homestead-Miami Speedway will claim the Cup.
While a driver can save his season with a victory, one bad segment in the Chase can ruin the year.
"No one is safe," said Jeff Gordon, teammates with Earnhardt and Johnson. "Once that race is over, we are going to have a lot to talk about and some surprises that we couldn't have anticipated when the Chase began."
Heading into the playoffs, it looked as if it might be a showdown between Team Penske and Hendrick Motorsports for the title. Now Joey Logano might be Penske's only representative in the third round, while Gordon and Kasey Kahne are currently poised to represent Hendrick, which had four cars in the Chase.
There's simply no room for error, Clint Bowyer said.
"One slip up and Dale Junior, he had a flat tire, and he's out of the playoffs," Bowyer said.
Regardless of what happens, Earnhardt believes the system has created intense competition that will be must-watch racing, even if he's eliminated.
"I think everyone who is a NASCAR fan will be watching that Homestead race just to see how this turns out," Earnhardt said. "I think my fans enjoy racing and will continue to watch. I don't we think drive the ratings that way."

It was really nice to have several jars of chicken stock in the refrigerator; I just pulled one out,
I'd just made the chicken stock the day before. I was cleaning out the freezer after going grocery shopping and decided to turn the bags of carrot peels, onion skins, chicken bones, etc., into stock. It's easy, and practically free.
Whenever I make chicken for dinner, the bones are put in zippered freezer bags and saved in the freezer. Anytime I use onions or carrots or other "soup" veggies, the peels, tops and bottoms are also saved. Celery leaves, garlic skins, the ends of peppers, leftover tomato slices, and more are added to the "stash".
When I have enough, or when the freezer is too full, all the bags are emptied into the stockpot, water is added, and the pot simmers all day long. You can add a splash of apple cider vinegar ala Nourishing Traditions if you wish. Obviously it's good to make this on a cold day instead of during the hottest part of the summer. When it's done, I strain the broth and refrigerate so I can remove the fat after it cools. This time I ended up with 5 quarts.
It's not only free, it's also sodium-free unless you decide to add salt. It's thick - gelatenous - and you can't pour it out of the jar like you do the canned stuff from the store. It's so much better for you too.
Try this with the carcass from your holiday turkey too. It makes yummy turkey stock. Because we are usually tired of turkey after the holidays, I break the carcass in half, and freeze both, using them to make two batches of turkey stock later on.

But the law permits the President, upon the recommendation of the implementing agency or the Price Coordinating Council, to impose a price ceiling
on any basic necessity or prime commodity, such as rice.
21 (Petra) -- Prime Minister Hani al-Mulki on Sunday said his government will set a price ceiling
for bread and will not allow anyone to sell above that celling, vowing strict punitive measures against violators.
BUTUAN CITY - The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) today urged the public to help monitor prices of commodities to ensure that the distributors, suppliers, traders and small business entrepreneurs are following the price ceiling
within the suggested retail price (SRP) levels.
The government has revised the Anti-Graft Law to raise the price ceiling
on gifts to help boost the consumption of agricultural and fisheries products.
The subsidy will be effective for Rabi season, where the price ceiling
of Rs2,500/2,600 for local/imported DAP will remain intact.
We don't care about fixed pricing, all what we need is to determine a price ceiling
for the products by the government, as low-income citizens are facing a problematic situation and cannot afford it anymore," Chairman of Anti Expensiveness Citizens' Association Mahmoud Askalany told Egypt Today.
Sergio Dagooc, Amreco president, said at a forum here that WESM would be detrimental to consumers in Mindanao as it sets a price ceiling
of P32 per kWh, double the prevailing rate of P15 per kWh.
M2 EQUITYBITES-February 24, 2017-634 drugs thought to be non-compliant with Indian government's price ceiling
M2 PHARMA-February 24, 2017-634 drugs thought to be non-compliant with Indian government's price ceiling
One member tried to feebly justify it, saying fees were a "complex issue, for which there is no straightforward answer" and "I am inclined to say there is no price-fixing in this context… competition in Cyprus is not hindered because there is no price ceiling
The study blames Canadian provinces and territories for this anomaly because they set a price ceiling
for generics at 18 percent of the value of the branded drug.
We want to put a price ceiling
for them rather than keep it open for anyone to do what they want," said BCCI executive board member and food and agriculture committee chairman Khalid Al Amin.

Toyota has announced two new initiatives in the world of automotive technology.
First, Toyota will begin installing a data communication module (DCM) into a “broader range” of 2017 model year vehicles for the U.S. market. Having the DCM will expand Toyota’s ability to transfer and share data with your vehicle for a variety of products and services, using cellular telecommunications networks.
The first benefit, an emergency notification system that alerts the authorities when the airbags are deployed, will be standard on every vehicles with a DCM. Toyota also announced a collaboration with UIEvolution, to help integrate the driver’s smartphone with vehicle data. UIEvolution will be able to develop apps that supply your vehicle data to a third party via a secure network, which should mean that apps can tailor themselves to your needs based on your vehicle’s data.
In order to support this large expansion of vehicle data coming in, the Toyota Big Data Center (TBDC) has been created to process all DCM information and use it to “deploy high-level information and privacy controls.”
Second, Toyota announced that it is joining into an agreement with Ford and Livio to “establish an industry development and operation framework to deploy Livio’s SmartDeviceLink (SDL).” SDL is an open source platform that allows smartphone apps to be used through voice recognition and on a vehicle’s touchscreen. Besides joining in the collaboration, which is open to the whole industry, the Japanese company also says that it will also offer its owner telematics system that will use SDL.
If more companies use SDL, it will allow app makers to reach a wider audience in a shorter time as their software would be compatible across a wide range of vehicles.


THIS week's torrential rainfall has put the problem of flooding back into the headlines.
According to the Environment Agency, three million Britons now live or work on flood plains which may become even more vulnerable to frequent flooding, due to climate change.
After talks with the Government, the insurance industry has agreed to a temporary bar on its members refusing to renew buildings and contents cover because of flooding risks. However, there are doubts about how this moratorium is being applied in practice.
Suzanne Moore, a spokesman for the Association of British Insurers (ABI), said most people should still be able to get flood cover. She said: "The agreement between insurers means that, in all but the most exceptional cases, they will continue to offer flood cover to existing policyholders until the end of next year."
That will offer some comfort through this winter and the spring of next year when flooding is most likely to occur. But Ms Moore added that insurers will make exceptions where flooding has become a regular occurrence.
She said: "Even in some extreme cases it may be possible to get cover if you can show what has been done to reduce the risk. That includes what you have done as well as any action taken by the local authority or the Environment Agency."
Insurance brokers say the reality is that people are having to pay higher premiums or accept tougher conditions in order to get cover. Martin Wright, managing director of Towry Law Insurance brokers, said: "Different insurers are taking different stances on this problem.
"Some have introduced sophisticated software that they claim identifies the areas most likely to be hit by floods. We have been able to get all of our customers cover but, in some cases, that has meant shopping around.
"Even then we have had to accept increased premiums of up to a fifth and/or excesses jumping from £500 to £5,000." An excess is the first part of any claim that you have to pay before the insurance kicks in.
One person who has been unable to get flood cover is Tony Pring. Along with his wife Myra, he runs the Gables Tea Room in Umberleigh, North Devon, which is located close to the River Taw.
In 1998 the property was flooded for the first time in 30 years but the waters have returned every year since. As a result, his insurance company, Norwich Union, has paid out a total of £130,000 in return for annual premiums which were less than £500.
Those figures illustrate the financial impact on insurers - and their shareholders and policyholders. All three could argue that it is not their business to go on picking up the tab for successive governments' irresponsible planning policies.
Mr Pring acknowledges the recent history of damage to his property has not been encouraging but claims a great deal has been done to reduce the risk of flooding and limit the damage caused. He said: "We have had the whole ground floor tiled to swimming pool standards with a guarantee for 12 years. The only carpet is a rug which can easily be taken upstairs.
"The tables and chairs in the tea rooms are all metal and waterproof but can be stacked and carried upstairs. Our doors lift off, the stair carpet is only loose tacked, so it can be lifted quickly and we have bought special stainless steel units for the kitchen so they are easily cleaned if there were a flood.
"In addition the Environment Agency has carried out extensive work on the river and removed a lot of silt that had built up. But all that has meant nothing to our insurers, Norwich Union, who now refuse to give us flood cover."
(NB: Mr Pring has subsequently obtained buildings insurance that includes damage from flooding and is not aware of any flood-related problems since October 2000)
Bruce Archibald who works for Mr Pring's brokers, Ottery Insurance Services, said: "I think the chances of a flood are reasonably remote and the action taken by Mr Pring has reduced the likely cost of any claim should the worst happen. However the company has still refused to include flood cover and merely said that the situation will be reviewed in a couple of years' time."
Norwich Union refused to discuss the case but the ABI said it would be asking them to review it. Ms Moore said: "If people do hit a problem with their insurers and believe they have taken measures to reduce the risks, we are willing to intervene. Or they can contact the financial services ombudsman.
"But at the end of the day it is up to the companies to assess the risks. Last year the industry paid out nearly £1 billion in flood claims and that eventually affects everyone's premiums."


As most of you know, I am one among the admins of the Tiago owners Whatsapp group.
Now, there are two Tata employees working in manufacturing plants at Sanand and Pune each.
They have been a part of manufacturing of the KITE 5 mules and have seen and felt the car in person.
Their word is that the Kite 5 will have projector headlamps, great interiors as seen on Tiago and will retain most of the features seen on the concept car at the Auto expo. According to them, the car will be launched probably in Jan 2017.
They also added a suspense element saying, "The KITE 5 will have a feature which no car in it's segment has.
I tried my best in guessing and
. I might need the help of more brains to think on this.
Can someone try to guess better?
All that I can maximum think of is a Notchback rear opening, which currently no car in it's segment has. (But I don't think they will re-engineer the whole opening mechanism for this setup.)
Try guessing something better guys.

Liatris is a flowering plant and belongs to the sunflower, Asteraceae family. Native to the land of North American prarie regions of United States, the Bahamas, Mexico and Canada, this perennial plant is mostly used as attractive and ornamental plant. Liatris is also known as gayfeather and blazing star. Some of its domesticated species are used in floral arrangements as well. In winters, the flowers survive as corms. Its usage as intestinal antispasmodic has earned it the name of colic root. The grass-like leaves stay all throughout summer and in winter; it can grow out as root, crown, sprout clump, rhizome or corms. In fall, the green leaves turn shiny brown. But it is the summer that most of gardeners wait for because that’s the time when you see flowers in the shape of bottlebrush spikes. The color of flowers can be white or purple and the plant can grow up to five feet when mature and in flowering phase.
It is a very common plant and at least one can find 13 species easily being grown by the gardeners all over the world. The four common species one can find are L. aspera, L. ligulistylis, L. pycnostachya and L. spicata.
Liatris can be grown from elongated roots, rhizomes, seeds or corms. If you aren’t sure of propagation, you can get them at nearby flower shops that sell planters. The flowering season for most of the varieties remains the same. The plants flower in the same season.
If you are growing the plant from seeds, sow them directly in the soil as the spring approaches. Usually within 20-45 days, the seed germinate and shoot buds. If you want to increase the chances of survival for the plant, you can keep the seeds in cold and moist place for about four or six weeks.
You can also plant the seeds in the soil in early winter. The difference between seed-grown and otherwise propagated plants is that the former takes another year to bloom whereas the latter sees the flowering phase in the same growth year.
As the plant grows, it is advised that you keep digging and dividing larger clumps. Use shovel or sharp knife to divide and cut the roots or corms. Keep at least one eye on every divided part.
Plant them at least 12 to 15 inches apart in soil
Liatris can tolerate some shade and poorly-drained soil to some extent. However, they thrive in full sun and moist soil that is well-drained. Since the plant remains in sun all the time, it is important that it stays hydrated until its root system has established properly. Once it is, it becomes a hardy and drought-resistant to a great extent.
Please be cautious with overwatering as it can lead to rotting. Ask your florist before fertilizing the plants. Ideally, you should use fertilizers during early growth. Once it is done, you can use stop it. Please ensure that you don’t overdo the fertilizers as it is seen that in most of liatris varieties, blooming doesn’t happen fully due to over-fertilization.
Apart from flea beetles pestering a few of the varieties, insects don’t haunt the plant much. Though, diseases like leaf spots, rusts, powdery mildew, Verticillium wilt and white mold are major cause of concern. To some extent, you can prevent the onset of disease by keeping the plants in sunlight and ensuring proper ventilation.
Usually perennials are broad-leaved plants. Liatris with its spike-shaped colorful blooms, add variety to your garden. You can plant purple liatris with yellow blooms. Similarly, the plant also goes well with silver foliage and grasses.
The flowers attract bees and butterflies.
Liatris are used heavily by florists all over the world in floral arrangements. They are used fresh and dried.
Larvaes of Lepidoptera species use the plant as food including the flowers and petals. Schinia gloriosa and Schinia sanguinea, flower moths exclusively are fond of the flowers.

If anyone lives near the DC,Md,Va arear I would love for you to come look at my car and help me find the problem. I have a bone stock 1991 Mustang lx 5.0. I am having a weird overheating problem. When I drive the car normal the temp gauge never leaves half way. when ever I get up on it for a little bit the temp. climbs all the way up. Once it goes all the way up it will not cool down until I turn the car off for a little while. Last week I drove it 2 hours and it never left half way. I was about 40 miles from home and I punched the gas for about a minute. The temp went all the way up. I then drove it normal with the heat on for the rest of the way. and the temp stayed close to over heating. The gauge does not go into the red it gets to the last mark before red. I replaced the thermostat and it still does the same thing. Let me know if anyone could have a clue as to whats causing this. I now it is getting close to overheating because when I parked it there was antifreeze bubbling out of the overflow (Barely dripping). It only does it when I accelerate hard for a little bit. It is weird.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here fixed Nov 6 to deliver its decision on the prosecution’s bid to amend three charges involving power abuse and money laundering in Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial.
Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah set the date yesterday after the former premier’s lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, told the judge that the defence team needed more time to prepare submissions against the prosecution’s amendment bid.
“My Lord, we need more time to assemble the factual matrix of the case in relation to the three charges that prosecutors wanted to amend.
“We have noticed that apart from people like former 1MDB chief executive officer Mohd Hazem Abdul Rahman, former Bank Negara Malaysia governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz, former Ambank relationship manager Joanna Yu and Ambank branch manager R. Uma Devi, there are a few more witnesses that we have to go through to complete the factual matrix,” he said.
Meanwhile, deputy public prosecutor Kamal Baharin Omar submitted that the prosecution had no objections to this and added that they also needed time to prepare further submissions.
“My Lord, the prosecution’s witness on standby today is assistant director of the Anti-Money Laundering Criminal Investigation Division ACP Foo Wei Min. But he is on medical leave as he is ill with gout,” said the prosecutor.
After hearing the matter, Sequerah then vacated yesterday’s proceedings to Nov 6 and said the decision on the prosecution’s bid to amend the three charges would be ruled on the said date.“On that date, I will deliver my decision for both the amendment to the three charges and admissibility of documentation, then we can proceed with ACP Foo,” the judge said.
The admissibility of documentation issue refers to the defence team’s objections against the prosecutors’ intent to admit several bank documents linked to ACP Foo’s testimony. — Bernama

It seems that mobile companies are now all set to ruin the future of camera manufacturers. The camera phones have eclipsed the demand for digital camera and camera makers are having tough time to woo customers. The camera phone manufacturers have raised the bar and are on their way to standardize 8 megapixel camera phones. Why would you like to spend on a camera when you can have it in your phone? It’s no surprise that Nokia has become the largest seller of digital cameras and companies like Kodak and Canon are clueless about their future.
The recent mobile phone announcements have raised the ante for a camera phone from 5 megapixel to 8 megapixels. Samsung and LG have both released two 8 megapixel camera phone in last few weeks. Sony Ericsson and Canon has also jumped into this war and Sony Ericsson’s C905 CyberShot is really a beast among them. What is rather more interesting is that Nokia has not released its 8 megapixel camera phone as of yet while Nokia has partnered with Nokia to do so.
Here is a list of all the 8 megapixel camera phones released till date. We hope to update this list as new 8 megapixel camera phones are released.
LG Renoir KC910: LG’s Renoir is the successor of Viewty KU990 and its camera has got everything you seek in a mid range digital camera. Xeonon flash; image stabilization; manual focus; face tracking; geo tagging are some of the functionalities of its camera.
Sony Ericsson C905 CyberShot: SE released this handset along with F305 and this camera phone has everything that Sony Ericsson has mastered in last few years by producing CyberShot range of camera phones. We have a reason to believe that this would be a stunner, if we go by the magic that they have done on the Cybershot camera phones.
Samsung Pixon M880: This phone is meant for taking pics and that’s what Pixon (Pics-On) means. The camera of this one has a dual LED flash with features like smile shot; panorama shot; face-detection and geo-tagging etc.
LG KC780: Its claim to fame is that it is the thinnest 8 megapixel camera phone. This was the second such camera phone from LG after KC910.
Samsung Innov8 i8510: It is a S60 powered GSM handset which has been released in many markets around the world. The camera quality is pretty similar to that of Samsung Pixon but it looks more gorgeous.
Casio W63CA Exilim: This camera phone is the craziest of all because it is the first 8.1 megapixel camera phone. This phone has hit the stores in Japan and we don’t expect that this will see the light of day in any other market.

Cedar Creek Falls is located in Sumter National
Forest. The creek is a feeder creek to the Chauga River that
eventually flows through Chau-Ram Park and

The main challenge of the hike is getting to the trail head.
Starting at the Oconee County Courthouse in Walhalla (a recently built
four-story brick and glass building on the 200 block of West Main
Street), travel west on SC 28 toward Mountain Rest. The road
ascends steeply in approximately 4 miles and passes Yellow
Branch Picnic grounds (left) and Stumphouse
Tunnel Park (right) in 5 miles (these are worthwhile destinations
themselves). After passing the Sumter Ranger Station on the right
at 5.6 miles, you come to a 4 way intersection with Whetstone Road at

footing on this path is loose and when wet slippery.
At the creek, Cedar Creek falls is toward the right and the top of
Blue Hole falls is toward the left. To view Blue Hole falls
involves more scrambling on a faint footpath. We didn't visit but
understand that you have to cross Cedar Creek and follow a path that
roughly parallels Cedar Creek. Waterfall

Systems range from one to 100 metres. When paired with a standard treadmill, all aspects of the gait cycle can be studied. Parameters (e.g., contact time, flight time, and pre-swing) can be measured to .001 of a second. Left and right differentials are recorded. Precise, objective data is correlated to determine extent of injury and effectiveness of treatment.
All data is displayed in real time through the software platform (affording instant decisions on treatment protocols) and paired with both lateral and sagittal video analysis. Data is stored over time, affording the clinician the ability to determine effectiveness of treatment. Injury prevention is enhanced via objective data, showing increased asymmetrical tendencies before pain sets in. Chronic injuries are addressed via gait-empowered differentials, identifying the root cause of malingering problems. All aspects of dynamic motion are recorded to ensure your patient is functioning at his/her highest level.
Some uses of the Optogait system include:
One metre system on a treadmill: Have the patient walk at a slow speed. Observe the parameters of the gait cycle in real time. Make left and right comparisons of contact time, flight time, swing, etc. As you increase your patient’s speed, note if asymmetries are improving or worsening. When maximum efficiency is realised, record asymmetries and the treadmill’s speed. This efficient ‘rhythm of gait’ is a good starting point for clinical intervention. Footwear, orthotics, conditioning exercises, etc. may be employed to enhance patient symmetry. Pending the patient’s needs, gait protocols can be performed at any speed.
One metre system on floor:
a. A basic step test can be evaluated for biomechanical efficiency. Contact and flight time of each leg is evaluated for symmetry.
b. Standard squat jump can be evaluated for maximum power. Pelvic angle can be noted instantly. Conditioning protocols can be based off this angle.
c. One-legged jumps, in any direction, are employed to compare left and right power. Knowing the patient’s overall power is only one aspect; symmetry is key to all rehabilitative programs.
d. Agility, left and right, is studied via simple ski tests. Left and right contact and flight times are easily compared. Effective treatment ensures there is no favoured side.
Larger installations of five metres or more allow the patient to walk or run through the machine on nearly any surface. Again, all parameters of gait are easily measured. Differentials, left and right, are noted. Speed and acceleration of each leg can be measured. Every motion in all directions can be analysed for symmetry. The length of the system is flexible. The width of the system can be a maximum of six yards. This affords the clinician the ability to lay out various ‘obstacle courses’ to analyse their patient’s gait.
Surface EMG testing is made simple. There is no need for contact pads under the patient’s feet to correlate data. By interfacing with Optogait, all data is easily recorded and evaluated.

Dr. Bushaw-Newton, "Doctor B" to students, microbial ecologist and assistant professor in American University's Department of Biology Environmental Studies program, researches nutrient and toxic pollution in the nation's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay.
"The Anacostia River system," she said, "is such a wonderful study area because it's not a pristine system, and you understand that when you start studying it. And then you go from there."
She does cutting-edge research on the multiple-antibiotic resistant bacteria found in the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers and on natural organisms within the river systems that can break down the highly toxic concentration of pH's (poly-hydrocarbons) in the water.

Significant economic ramifications of declining pheasant numbers for state.
Pierre, S.D. –-(Ammoland.com)- South Dakota released the results from its highly-anticipated annual pheasant brood survey today, which revealed a 64 percent decrease in statewide pheasant abundance. Pheasants Forever says upland habitat loss is the primary culprit in the downturn of South Dakota’s legendary pheasant population, a trend which will continue unless federal policy makers swiftly enact strengthened conservation policies.
“By not passing a Farm Bill, by not including the ‘Protect Our Prairies Act’ (also known as Sodsaver provisions), by not re-linking crop insurance payments to conservation compliance, federal policy makers are all but ensuring this unprecedented habitat loss will continue in South Dakota and across the Midwest,” says Dave Nomsen, Pheasants Forever’s Vice President of Governmental Affairs. “South Dakota’s identity as the top pheasant-producing state, and as our nation’s premier pheasant hunting destination, is truly dependent on Congressional action.”
Nomsen added the passage of a new Farm Bill is the single most important aid to South Dakota upland habitat that can be made with immediacy, while state-level and private organization contributions need to be part of a more comprehensive conservation effort.
While weather events in recent years – tough winters, cold, wet springs and heat and drought – undoubtedly earn a share of the blame for the diminished pheasant numbers, Nomsen says the impact of the habitat loss is unmistakable, pointing to the destruction of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres and conversion of other grasslands.
“For the first time in two decades, there were less than 1 million CRP acres in South Dakota for pheasants to nest in,” says Nomsen, who, along with many wildlife biologists, considers this well below the threshold level of 1.25-1.5 million acres necessary for sustaining a world-class pheasant population. “Landowners need to know these conservation programs will remain viable, so passing a Farm Bill that reauthorizes the Conservation Reserve Program, Wetlands Reserve Program and other wildlife-friendly, USDA conservation programs, is a step lawmakers must take this September.”
Additionally, non-CRP grassland conversion, including native prairie, has further reduced available pheasant nesting cover.
“The Protect Our Prairies Act is the single best thing we can do to preserve native grasslands,” Nomsen says of the bill introduced earlier this year by South Dakota U.S. Representative Kristi Noem.
The Protect Our Prairies Act would conserve native grasslands by reducing crop insurance payments for newly-broken native grasslands, thereby dis-incentivizing farmers to do so.
Pheasants are big business in South Dakota. In fact, the South Dakota Department of Tourism estimates pheasant hunting generates 223 million dollars in retail economic impact annually and an additional 111 million dollars in salaries annually. Additionally, the state estimates there are 4,500 jobs linked directly to the pheasant hunting industry and related tourism.
South Dakota’s pheasant population has fallen from a modern historic high in just a few years, and Nomsen says given the prolific nature of these birds, a rebound in equal short order is possible, provided new and improved habitat is added.
“Having Congress pass a comprehensive Farm Bill right now is the first step. Additionally, all stakeholders concerned about preserving and enhancing the traditions of pheasant hunting dear to South Dakota should begin evaluating their roles and how they can work together supporting the habitats critical for this iconic bird important to the state’s identity, economy and culture,” Nomsen says.
Pheasants Forever, including its quail conservation division, Quail Forever, is the nation’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to upland habitat conservation. Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever have more than 135,000 members and 730 local chapters across the United States and Canada. Chapters are empowered to determine how 100 percent of their locally raised conservation funds are spent, the only national conservation organization that operates through this truly grassroots structure.
Pheasants Forever is dedicated to the conservation of pheasants, quail and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education and land management policies and programs.

- As noted before, former WWE Superstar Batista was at last night’s Strikeforce MMA show in Los Angeles.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer asked Batista why he left WWE. Batista said he was sick and tired of WWE’s direction and had to get out. He said that it wasn’t the kind of wrestling he grew up watching and wasn’t the product that he had always enjoyed.
Batista didn’t rule out a return to WWE but did not seem in a hurry to work with the company again. Batista, who has lost some weight since leaving WWE, said he was out in Los Angeles looking for work. He was seen talking with Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker but The Animal entering the MMA world to fight seems highly unlikely.

4 shot, 2 killed, in Petersburg incidents
Petersburg police are investigating the shootings of four people since late Tuesday night in separate incidents in the city. Two victims have died. Petersburg Police are looking into the possibility the shootings are connected and if it is gang related.
Jabari C. Lee, 35, of Dinwiddie was killed in a shooting around 11 p.m. on Slagle Avenue, according to Petersburg police.
Around an hour-and-a-half later the driver and passenger of a car in the 2000 block of Ferndale Avenue were shot. The passenger, Jaymonta Jones was taken to VCU Medical Center where he later died. The driver is still being treated at the hospital and is in stable condition, police said.
"All you do here is hear gunshots, you drive up the street, you go into the neighborhoods, all you hear is bullets," said Robert Scott, who lives near the scene of the shooting on Ferndale Avenue. "We just jumped on the floor, jumped off the bed, got on the floor and put our heads down and prayed," says Robert's wife Nancy Scott.
The latest shooting occurred around noon when a person in the Pin Oaks Housing Community was shot. He was taken to Southside Regional Medical Center. Police have not said the extent of the victim's injuries or detailed suspects in any of the cases.
Police ask anyone with information about these shootings to call Petersburg Dinwiddie Crime Solvers at (804) 861-1212.

In what it calls an effort to "truly make 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 'The People’s House'," as described in a White House press release, the President and First Lady have invited Google Street View into the public rooms of their home.
The making of this virtual White House tour is part of Google's Art Project, which started last year, and uses the same technology that is well known for mapping images of public streets. More recently Google Street View technology has taken to snapping panoramic images of interior spaces.
“The White House isn’t simply a home to First Families or meeting space for world leaders, it’s also known as ‘The People’s House,’ a place that should be open to everyone. And that’s why we’ve made it a priority to invite young people, military families, and Americans of all ages to join us here at the White House,” Mrs. Obama said in a video welcoming digital users to explore the White House, which has seen more than 2.5 million in-person tours since Obama took office. “Thousands of people have walked these halls and gazed at the artwork. They’ve examined the portraits of Washington, Lincoln, and Kennedy. They’ve imagined the history that’s unfolded here. And now you can do all of that without leaving your home. So go ahead, look around, enjoy the history and the beauty of these rooms. Because after all, this is your house, too.”
Watch Mrs. Obama's description of the 360-degree virtual tour of the White House:
Check out this behind the scenes video for more information on the project:
The virtual tour will give users the experience that they would have gotten had they taken a public tour of the White House. Take a look around here.
In addition to the tour, as part of Google Art Project, the painting of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart that hangs in the East Room of the White House was also photographed in extremely high resolution -- called the gigapixel -- to let the public take an unprecedented, virtual look at the details of the piece.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has unveiled a $3.4 million state investment that will improve safety and operations at 20 Pennsylvania airports that support more than 8,400 jobs.
The state funding comes from the state’s jet fuel tax and leverages $1.5 million in local matching funds.
The program complements the new Multimodal Fund, created by Act 89, which dedicates $6 million to aviation in this fiscal year alone.
“Providing transportation options is vital to moving goods and people,” Corbett said. “That’s why we’ve invested $50 million in aviation since January 2011, and Act 89 will help us build on that progress.”
Public-use airports in the state are eligible for the aviation development program. Airports eligible for the federal block grant program include: general aviation airports, designated reliever airports, and non-primary commercial service airports (those with fewer than 10,000 annual passengers) that are part of the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.
Airports that will receive funding include:
- Armstrong County: McVille Airport — $200,000 to construct a hangar.
- Bedford County: Bedford County Airport — $187,500 to expand public parking.
- Bradford County: Bradford County Airport — $37,500 to acquire airfield maintenance equipment.
- Bucks County: Pennridge Airport — $75,000 to reconstruct an apron.
- Butler County: Butler Farm Show Airport — $60,000 to install an access gate and fencing.
- Cambria County: Ebensburg Airport — $200,000 to rehabilitate hangars; John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria — $150,000 to rehabilitate airport pavement.
- Centre County: Bellefonte Airport — $15,000 to remove obstructions; University Park Airport — $375,000 to construct an auto parking lot.
- Delaware County: Philadelphia Seaplane Base — $11,250 to design rehabilitation of seawall dock.
- Elk County: St. Marys Municipal Airport — $262,500 to construct a vehicle parking lot.

The quilombola community of Conceicao das Crioulas is located in the municipality of Salgueiro, in the central interior of Pernambuco, 550 km from Recife. It has about 750 families and its main economic activities are family farming, ranching and small-scale production in natural fibers, straw and clay. Local people has been fighting for many years for recognition of their territory that has been occupied by large scale farmers for a long time.
The settlement of the Salgueiro region dates back to the 18th century. Until that time it was inhabited by indigenous Cariri. With the conquest of the indigenous territory by Portuguese settlers led by Antonio da Cruz, the region was occupied by cattle ranching farms and cotton plantations. According to the oral memory of the community, Conceicao das Crioulas was founded by six freedom creoles who arrived at the site by fugitive slave Francisco Jose de Sa, which began to occupy land near the remaining villages of Atikum Indians. Working as cotton spinners, the former slaves purchased the land they occupied and built a chapel in honour of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao, giving the current name to the community.
However, the lands of the community continued to be occupied by farmers, causing the community to lose possession of part of its territory. This situation has worsened over the years. From 1987 onwards, the members of the community began to organize to demand that the State recognize their right over the land and expell the invaders of their territory. Titling of the land took place on July 14, 2000 through the Fundacao Cultural Palmares (FCP), however the land remained occupied by farmers.
In 2003, the Instituto Nacional de Colonizacao e Reforma Agraria (INCRA) became the responsible institution for the federal policy of recognition of quilombola territories. In 2004, INCRA began to revise the limits and the legal status of the lands of the community of Conceicao das Crioulas. From then on, the quilombolas were threatened with death by farmers who owned land in the area under study by INCRA. The complaints were forwarded to the Federal Ministerio Publico Federal (MPF) and in retaliation the Associacao Quilombola de Conceicao das Crioulas headquarters was set on fire.
In 2006, the quilombolas occupied the Fazenda Velha to press the State to regulate its territory. New arsons were caused on the site, destroying the home of quilombola Bartolomeu Dias de Paula.
Since 2011, the quilombolas have achieved important victories, when the sites Jurema, Chapada and the Fazenda Velha were expropriated and became officially the territory of the community, totalling an area of about 900 hectares. From that recognition, the community was able to access public funds to take advantage of a number of policies in the community, the most important of these was the signing of an agreement with the municipality of Salgueiro and the Government of the State of Pernambuco to ensure community access to water.
