This weekend the Steudel/Hunter/Ludders clan decided to take the kids on their first backpacking trip. Both kids (Samuel and Sabine) have done lots of camping and hiking, but never backpacking….the challenge being how to get both kids and all the gear to the destination. We decided to go to Barclay Lake off Rt. 2 since it was a short hike and we would be camping on a lake. We arrived at the trail head around 3pm and after packing everything up, we set off down the trail laden with kids and all our stuff!
With only one other group on the lake, we had the pick of our campsites. We took one right under the majestic Barclay Peak.
Saturday we hiked ~1.5 miles and climbed ~1500 ft to the next lake. It kicked our butts, but the Bine and Samuel didn't seem to mind all the hard work! The kids slept well in the tents, enjoyed all the yummy food, threw lots of rocks into the lake and generally had a great time. Even some good rain on Sunday morning couldn't keep us from having fun! Can't wait for the next trip.
Well another successful and fun year at the annual MS Bike ride. This year the weather wasn't as cooperative as it's been in the past, today it rained quite a bit on the bikers! The team this year was smaller, and consisted of Bebeth, Lisa, and Mikaela; Ray and Cynthia were virtual riders. The Bine and I were there for moral support! Mikaela biked over 30 miles the first day and Bebeth and Lisa did over 70 miles. The second day Bebeth and Lisa rode almost 30 miles and finally called it a day after being soaked to the bone.
Also if anyone is interested in riding next year let us know! We're always looking for more team mates! It's really well supported (rest stops with food, drinks, and bathrooms every 10 miles) and there are multiple length routes you can do; first day ( 20,50, 70, 100) second day (50, 70). Over 2000 bikers come and ride and support the fight against MS. If you sign up all your meals are taken care of (breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus snacks). You get to ride across deception pass escorted by Harley Davidson riders!


Jill Webster's bedroom was chock-a-block with stuffed animals and glassy eyed dolls. Jill was ten years old, and not particularly fond of stuffed animals and glassy eyed dolls, though her mother was.
Sitting on the floor, Jill reached under her bed and took out a small tin box decorated with a picture of the Queen. She opened the hinged lid. Inside, side by side, on a cushion of cotton wool, were seven cat's whiskers. She looked at them briefly and then added an eighth. Sunlight flooded through the window and the whiskers shone with all the secret colours of the rainbow. She touched them, one by one, from left to right, not counting so much as remembering. Jill closed the lid, well satisfied, and put the box back in its hiding place.
Downstairs, Jill found her parents spread out on a pile of cushions in the living room, sharing a joint of marijuana grown in their own back garden. They were a couple of aging hippies, dedicated still to the ideas of their youth.
"Have you seen Twinkles?" Jill asked.
"No," her mother answered, the word soaked up in a cloud of exhaled smoke.
The next day, Twinkles still was nowhere to be seen.
"Don't say you've lost another." Jill was good at losing her cats.
"It's not my fault," she said, and returned to her bedroom with its collection of stuffed animals and glassy eyed dolls. She took out a drawing pad and a vast set of coloured pencils—Jill's parents encouraged artistic expression—and, laying on her bed, scribbled a flying black cat: a super cat, its front legs spread out like wings.
Later, Jill went back downstairs.
"A new what?" her mother asked, already irritated.
"This one might come back." She never called a cat by its name—not that she had problems remembering, because Jill called them all Twinkles.
"I'll talk to Paul," she promised. Paul, her father, was up at the allotment, collecting the chicken's eggs and planting vegetables.
After school, the next day, Jill again brought up the subject.
So the answer was yes—Jill's parents were very keen on children having pets: it taught them to love animals—and she sang a happy song on the way back to her room.
It was three days until Saturday, though it seemed more like an eternity: every minute was an hour and every hour a day. Jill was still a small girl, and everything was bigger than her parents believed.
The house was nestled at the top end of the Big Woods. Jill closed the garden gate and walked down the street, with the trees stretching away to her right. She had always been scared of the Big Woods: it was a shadowy go-anywhere kind of place. Next to her school, not far away, was the Little Woods. It was a much nicer place.
She was going to the R.S.P.C.A home all by herself—Jill's parents believed in fostering independence—and was imagining all the cats there and the one she would choose.
The new cat, like all his predecessors, was called Twinkles. Jill was on the carpet, watching it play with a ball of wool. She was looking at its whiskers, shining with all the secret colours of the rainbow.
The circus was in town. Jill had been watching them set up the big top on what was known as the Village Green, even though the village had become a suburb, and cottages had turned into blocks of flats.
She ran all the way home.
"Why not?" Jill was ready to cry.
Jill knew there was no use arguing—her parents were great advocates of animal rights—but she argued just the same, and then ran crying to her room.
When the circus opened, the following day, Jill was there on the Village Green, sitting on the grass close to the entrance, listening to the music, the roar of a lion, the people laughing and gasping and applauding, imagining what was going on inside; and watching young boys lead the animals—two elephants, a camel, several llamas, horses and even some poodles wearing poodle clothes, but no lion—from tents at the side, into the big top.
After the show was over, Jill walked around the back. A large compound was fenced off, but she could see a cage in the middle, close to the back entrance, with the lion pacing about inside.
When she arrived home, well past tea-time, no-one asked where she had been—Jill's parents believed people should be allowed to do what they wanted to do, and what they wanted to do was their own business—or why she was so late.
That evening, Jill played with Twinkles, pretending he was a lion and she was a lion tamer, and all the stuffed animals and glassy eyed dolls were the audience.
Jill went to the circus every day; and on the third, with everyone inside, waiting for the show to start, the man at the front gate called her over.
Jill nodded her head, sadly.
"Come on with me, then," he said, taking her hand and leading her into the big top.
He took her down to the front row and said to a lady, "Move over a bit, love, let this nipper squeeze in will yer? She's all by her self." The lady moved over.
"Here's a special seat, just for you," he said to Jill, scrumpling up her hair as a parting gesture.
It was a wonderful show. Jill loved the trapeze. She loved watching the men and ladies fly through the air. They were free to fly through the air, but they were always caught before it was too late. She loved the way they were caught, before it was too late.
And she loved the lion as well. He didn't seem to mind being in a cage, because he knew his trainer would take care of him.
After the show, Jill tried to find the man who had let her in, to thank him; but he was nowhere to be seen.
Twinkles was still a kitten, but he was much bigger. He was about ten, in cat years. Jill had found one of his whiskers on a cushion. She picked it up carefully and carried it up to her room. She reached under the bed, took the small tin box decorated with a picture of the Queen, opening its hinged lid. The whiskers shone with all the secret colours of the rainbow. She added the latest, and then gently touched them all, one by one.
Back downstairs, Jill picked up Twinkles and carried him outside. The sun was shining, and Jill's blond hair shone with all the secret colours of the rainbow. Up the street they went, along side the Big Woods; all the time stroking Twinkles and whispering in his ear.
At the bottom end of the Big Woods was a block of flats. Jill knew someone on the tenth floor. Forsaking the lift, she climbed the endless cold cement stairs, still stroking and whispering. Finally she reached the tenth floor. It was a nine story block, so Jill and Twinkles were actually on the roof. Washing was hanging out to dry, pulling on the clothes-line like a row of kites; pulling to be free. Jill walked to the wall at the edge of the roof.
"You're a nice cat, Twinkles," she whispered, tickling his chin. "You've been a good cat.
"Look over there," she said, lifting him level with the top of the wall. "Do you see the world? You can see all the world from here. Look, that's the Big Woods down there. See our house, next to it? And there's the Little Woods. See?" She kissed the cat.
"Bye-bye Twinkles," she said. "It's time for you to be free." And then she threw the young cat to freedom, over the wall, towards the Big Woods.

Softball Warriors seek an improved year
Senior and co-captain Brittney Rickles makes contact with the ball for a line drive. Rickles is currently batting .400 after the first 11 games. - photo by Photo by Marty Bicek
Eddie Ruiz
Updated: Feb. 20, 2014, 4:10 p.m.
The 2013 season was a rough year for the California State University, Stanislaus women's softball team after placing dead last in the California Collegiate Athletic Association and posting a 9-27 conference record and 16-36 overall.
The inability to hit the ball plagued a struggling offense and defense that was on the verge of rebuilding as the team allowed the second most runs in conference play (212), next to Cal State San Bernardino's 239 runs allowed.
The Warriors have not made the postseason since the 2008 season, a five year slump, since they posted a 31-23 record and reached the NCAA West Regionals. But this season looks to be different.
Looking into this new season with a new roster of fresh faces, the Warriors hope to turn things around for head coach Jan Schefkowitz who comes into her 17th season at Stanislaus.
"I just think we had a lot of potential last year and really we lost a couple of close seventh inning games earlier in the year and we just struggled finishing and couldn't figure out how to close out games and we worked on it grinding till the end this off-season," Schefkowitz said.
With the 2014 year underway the Warrior women have welcomed eight incoming freshman into this year's roster and currently hold a 5-6 record after the first 11 games played. The team also has the help of their returning veterans, led by senior Brittney Rickles and junior Natalie Winters on the offensive side.
"I feel last year's returners are wiser and prepared to be stronger, and while last year's seniors, we missed them, we have to move forward. This year's upperclassmen must be able to be tough and finish," Schefkowitz said about her squad this year thus far.
Leading the pitching will be juniors Jessica Varady and Natalie Rendon, who hold a 5-5 record combined and each have an ERA of under 4.01.
Only five seniors are on the roster this year. They're led offensively by Rickles (.400) and Brianna Nicholson (.364). The team is batting .327 but have found it tough to score runs as opponents are outscoring them 56-59.
"We talk about that to our team and we are built to be scrappy, powerful, but we need all our parts because we might hit bombs at times then suicide squeezes might have to happen other times. We need to be ready for any kind of game. We must have to have a complete game," Schefkowitz said.
As of now, there are five freshman that have seen a hefty playing time in games, Cassidy Duke (11), Morgan Balestreri (8), Deenah San Luis (11), Danielle Kelm (6) and pitcher Karina Callazo (6).
Deenah San Luis and Cassidy Duke have already solidified their starting position on the infield as San Luis is protecting third while Duke handles second, respectively. Senior Rickles will anchor as co-captain from shortstop.
Catcher Amy Droege is the other senior and captain.
"I think our captains are terrific and we have a lot of new kids. We're pretty young actually and our captains are doing a great job in getting ready to compete," Schefkowitz said. "Both are doing a great job modeling toughness and competitiveness and they model it and preach it and believe it and it rubs off."
All four fielders are currently hitting over .333 coming into the weekend matchup against CCAA foe, Chico State, who are dead least in conference (1-3) and have managed to put up the least amount of runs thus far (19) in only nine contests.
"We might not have a standout player tremendously but we have a team that works together to get it done and that's how were going to win," Schefkowitz said.
Defensively the Warriors will need all the help they can get from the pitching but also the fielding. Posting a .957 fielding percentage after 11 games has been a huge reason why the Warriors have been able to be successful in the early outings.
"This year the system is more understandable. We will need to play some good defense most of the time. We're young, we will make mistakes, but the girls are growing and learning," Schefkowitz added.
An added feature will be the ability to play night games with the new stadium lights at the Softball field.
The Warriors will travel to Chico State and take on the Wildcats in back-to-back doubleheader matchups beginning this Friday at noon with the closing game set for 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

Fishing improving in the San Juan River despite murky water
Hannah Grover
Farmington Daily Times
COMMUNITY OF NAVAJO DAM — The wet winter had an unanticipated consequence — cooling the San Juan River quality waters and increasing the levels of sediment.
The quality waters are a world-famous trout fishing area just below Navajo Dam on the San Juan River. The dam tends to regulate water conditions such as temperature, which allows people to fish year-round.
The water in Navajo Lake today also had a murky appearance and sediment was visible in the river below the dam.
These water conditions have impacted fishing and hurt businesses that rely on anglers.
"We had cancellations, but we also had some brave souls who wanted to try it anyways," said Thom Chacon, a guide with Colorado-based Duranglers.
While the water is still murky, guides and anglers say the fishing has improved.
Chacon said the water was still murky today, but anglers were catching fish. He took a couple clients onto the river.
"To me it seems that the fish have adjusted to their new situation," said Chacon of the murky water and temperatures a couple of degrees colder than normal.
David Israel works in Abe's Fly Shop in the community of Navajo Dam. He said the water became murky about three or four weeks ago.
"People were getting skunked, which is rare on the San Juan River," Israel said.
He said the fishing economy usually picks up after Presidents Day, and this year has been unusual because of the murky water. He said it has not been a good spring for the guides and businesses.
"The fishing's improving more than the water's improving," he said.
Israel said fish are biting on bright colored eggs and leeches.
In addition, the dam provides hydropower for local communities, including the city of Farmington and provides water storage.
The hydropower plant at the dam was taken out of use about six months ago for some maintenance. Early in April, Farmington Electric Utility System tried to turn on the hydropower plant. The sediment in the water tripped the hydropower plant twice, according to Farmington Electric Utility System Director Hank Adair.
"We won't run that unit unless we can get clean water to our bearings," Adair said during a Public Utility Commission meeting on April 10.

Why did the school librarian cross the road? To align library standards to other disciplines, of course!
Karen Gross, in a blog post for the U.S. Department of Education, describes crosswalk in the context of education as "converting skills or content from one discipline to another." However, I like Merriam-Webster's definition for "crosswalk" best: "a specially paved or marked path for pedestrians crossing a street or road." As school librarians, we help students and educators every day by paving a way for them to achieve, assisting them by breaking down barriers and helping them maneuver through obstacles on the road to learning.
Aligning school library standards to standards for other disciplines is critical to success in the school library profession. Knowing and understanding content standards for multiple subject areas is part of what makes the role of the certified school librarian essential to a school's curriculum. Also knowing how those various content area standards mesh with school library standards establishes the foundation for collaboration between school librarians and classroom teachers and strengthens learning for students through interdisciplinary experiences.
The task force recognized early on that crosswalking sets of standards is not always easy or makes for a clean fit as variances in language used and intent are not always clear to the reader. Standards sets also vary in their level of specificity with some statements being more general or specific in nature. For instance, the Future Ready Librarians Framework consists of very general statements aligning to actions of school librarians and how they impact student learning, where the AASL National School Library Standards provide more specific statements on what those actions should be.
AASL will review other possible standards sets for crosswalks moving forward, and there are plans to provide professional learning resources to assist practitioners in developing their own local crosswalks to supplement the national crosswalks created by the association.
Jay Bansbach (Retired – Maryland State Department of Education) is leading the AASL Standards Crosswalk Task Force as they research and develop the crosswalks for a summer 2018 release and a searchable database to be released at a later date (to be announced).
Why did the school librarian cross the road? To get to a roadmap for better outcomes for all learners!

A Mac capable of running a Python script in the background. I use a Mac mini with Hazel, and I tested it both on Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
A text file you can access with a URL. You can put this text file on your FTP server, in your Dropbox, or on a CDN. As long as it's got a URL you can access from Editorial at the end of the process, it's fine. I recommend using Dropbox to get started.
Editorial for iPad. I built the workflow for Editorial, and while it can be further modified and used in other scenarios, I won't cover those here.
And a clarification: the script doesn't access your iCloud credentials in any way. iCloud Tabs are stored in a .plist file on OS X, which Python can read and parse. The script doesn't know anything about iCloud – it just reads a file that contains webpage titles and URLs, plus device names.
If you can keep a Mac running to turn your iCloud Tabs into a text file that later becomes a popover in Editorial, you'll find the necessary scripts and workflow below.
The script is a simple modification of Kevin's work, but instead of passing results to Alfred, we build a text file that stores iCloud Tabs as lines. These lines are formatted for Editorial, which means that they contain both a webpage's title and URL, separated by a tab.
All you need to do to make the script ready for your needs is change the fileLocation variable on line 14. This determines the local path of the text file (called "alltabs.txt") that will store your iCloud Tabs. By default, the path is "~/Dropbox/alltabs.txt".
When you're using Safari on iOS or OS X, the convenience of iCloud Tabs is that they're constantly updated by iCloud as you close and open tabs in the browser. I wanted to replicate that in my workflow by ensuring that the text file would always have the latest set of tabs from all iCloud-enabled devices. To do this, you need to find a way to run the script everytime the Safari's tab file (under "~/Library/SyncedPreferences/com.apple.Safari.plist") is changed, overwriting the text file with updated tabs.
For my workflow, I let Hazel do this job. Every time the .plist is changed, the text file is updated with new tabs, and because the file name is the same, its URL doesn't change.
In Editorial, all the app needs to do is read lines from the text file and present them in a popover. We can do so with just six actions.
First, Editorial needs to know where iCloud Tabs are stored in the form of a text file. Install the workflow, open the workflow editor, and change the first Set Variable action to the URL of your text file. If you keep your file in Dropbox, you want to use the direct Dropbox URL that displays the contents of the text file in a browser – Editorial will be able to read that.
With the URL, Editorial can run a simple Python script to read each tab from the text file and show all tabs in a popover. Note how the workflow removes duplicate lines from the list of iCloud Tabs – if the same URL is open on multiple devices, Editorial will only show it once.
In the popover, tabs are shown with titles under the device they belong to; to open a tab in the Editorial browser, just tap it. Unfortunately, due to Editorial's lack of more advanced UI tools, the device names are tappable in the list too, but I made sure they stand out enough to be different from regular tabs.
There's a probably a more elegant way to store iCloud Tabs in a file and access them with Python (JSON comes to mind), but the simple text file works fine and is fast. I've been using the workflow for the past week to re-open webpages I first opened on my Mac and iPhone, and I really like the convenience of having iCloud Tabs available in my text editor and research browser.
Feel free to modify the workflow above, and if you create something different off of it, I'd love to know. You can download the workflow here.
Note: The screenshot above shows a beta version of Editorial, currently in testing.

Ohio man speaks out after arrest for brutal attack on child rape suspect
Ohio man speaks out after assaulting rape suspect
By Sia Nyorkor and Amber Lee Cole
Updated: Mar. 24, 2019 at 11:11 AM CDT
EASTLAKE, OH (WOIO) - An Eastlake man arrested and charged with felony assault is speaking out.
Richard Adams, 20, said he just "snapped" after walking in on a 17-year-old boy sexually molesting a five-year-old boy last Thursday.
"I was doing laundry and I walked out and there was the 17-year-old and he had the five-year-old's penis in his mouth."
Adams said after he got the 17-year-old away from the boy, he flew into a rage and started beating the teen.
We asked him what the child told him about the incident.
"He said that the 17-year-old had touched him right there and that he had touched him the night before," replied Adams.

After beating the teen, Adams posted a video on Facebook showing the battered teen covered in blood and being angrily questioned about the sexual assault.
Cleveland 19 is not revealing the 17-year-old's face because he's a juvenile, but police said he was also arrested and charged with rape.

Adams said he regrets posting the video, which has since been removed from Facebook, but that he doesn't regret his actions to protect the child.
"I do feel sorry for the video. I should not have posted that and I do feel remorseful for that."
He also said he hopes that others in the situation would've done the same thing.
"I want everyone to stop all the child offenders and predators out there. I don't want any child to have to go through that."
While Adams acted to protect the future of the 5-year-old boy, he's now worried about his own.
"I am scared. I have a kid on the way and I do want to be there for my child's birth and that's the only thing that's worrying me right now. I almost want to cry saying it," said Adams.
Eastlake police said the investigation is ongoing.
Meanwhile, Adams is out on $5,000 personal bond, while the accused teen remains in custody.
We're told the 5-year-old is now in protective custody.
Adams' next court appearance is in April and his uncle has started a GoFundMe to help cover his legal fees.

Argentan lace or Point d'Argentan is a needle lace from the 18th century. Argentella is derived from Argentan. Argentan lace exhibits a more prominent and larger pattern in contrast to its nearest variant, Point de Alencon lace. A distinctive feature of Argentan point lace is the "bride picotée", which may have originated from early Venetian lace-making techniques.

For the unitiated, it most likely thought like a madhouse - but it was the beginning of a whole new art activity - or in other words, as they labeled as it, anti-art.
Their cabaret was named following the author of French Enlightenment, Voltaire, who also specialized in assaulting the organization and it is most famous for their philosophical satire, "Candide, or Optimism."
Couple of years into World War I, appalled by the bloody conflict, designers from Cologne, Berlin, nyc, Paris, Moscow or Budapest all collected in simple Zurich. It had been probably the most international creative movement however. Its individualist people all united under a typical desire to offer an artistic a reaction to the absurdity of war.
In accordance with some reports, title for the anarchist movement "Dada" was discovered by coincidence in a French-German dictionary and suggests "hobbyhorse." Adding to the absurdity for the name - and rendering it much more appropriate the group - additionally were the make of a Swiss product against hair loss.
There after, a urinal might be called art: Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain"
After the war, Dadaism managed to move on from Zurich to significant cultural centers on the planet.
Tristan Tzara had been the primary promotor associated with action in Paris, joined by André Breton. Kurt Schwitters developed his own interpretation of Dada in Hanover, naming it Merz. Berlin Dadaists attacked the Church and also the State.
Marcel Duchamp changed forever the meaning of art along with his "readymades." Hans Richter transposed the brand new esthetics in the experimental movies.
Under André Breton's management, the Parisian Dada motion split and transitioned onto Surrealism. The action died out.

Ford watches from the top in a "barroom brawl" over America's No. 2 pickup truck. F-Series has held the top spot for 42 years.
Always watch the quiet guy in the corner.
While competitors are spending millions of dollars in an increasingly intense battle to claim the title as No. 2 best-selling pickup, the Ford F-Series is not only holding onto the top slot but expanding its lead.
On Thursday, Ford released sales data that showed 0.2% growth in F-Series sales during the first three months of the year, from 214,191 in 2018 to 214,611 in 2019.
In the first quarter, the 2019 Ram 1500 and Classic sold 120,026 trucks versus 114,313 Silverados, according to company filings. Silverado is historically the No. 2 vehicle.
Ford sold 38% of all full-size trucks in the United States in 2018, with more than 1 million F-150 and Super Duty trucks sold globally. That includes 909,000 F-Series in America at an average transaction price of $46,700, which is an annual record. The truck franchise generates more than $50 billion for Ford.
The company reported Thursday ending the first quarter with yet another increase in its F-Series average transaction price -- to $47,454, with the lowest incentive spending among all major full-size pickups. Ford saw notable sales in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and the West Coast.
"With Chevy and Ram locked in mortal combat for No. 2 and No. 3, it is very difficult for Ford to gain much, so any gain is a real tribute to them," said market analyst Jon Gabrielsen, who advises automakers and auto suppliers. "It's damn near a miracle."
GM reported a 15.7% quarterly drop in Silverado sales from the first quarter a year ago. It takes pride in holding the line on sales incentives and credits Ram's offers for its surge.
"Chevrolet has been disciplined. But how long can they maintain discipline as they're losing market share? They'll have to respond in some way," said John McElroy, longtime industry observer and TV host of "Autoline after Hours."
Ram's strategy to "kick Chevy in the teeth" is working, McElroy said.
Meanwhile, the full-size pickup market segment is growing about 2% a year.
In touting the Silverado, Chevy spokesman Jim Cain said, "Ford has the oldest trucks in the business."
Such comments annoy F-150 loyalists.
"In my world, you throw a punch back," said Mohamad "Mike" Beydoun, 45, a former production line worker at the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant who now serves as the UAW Local 900 skilled trades representative.
He told of a recent discussion with Joe Hinrichs, 52, Ford president of global operations, during a leadership meeting with Ford and UAW officials.
"I raised my hand, and I said, 'Joe, I want to ask you something,'" Beydoun recalled. "I said, 'GM loves to throw a punch at Ford Motor Co. every chance they get. Why don't you attack?' He said, 'We don't need to. They're coming at us because we own the market. They want a piece of it. Let's just stick to what we know.'"
"These are the folks who believe in America, family and leaving the world a better place," Levine said. "That's who they are."
Analysts say Ford products attract people who see themselves as loyal to their country.
Not only does Ford employ more American workers than any other car manufacturer — 85,000, including 56,000 hourly workers — but the company also builds more of its vehicles in the United States than any other company, at 82%.
Beydoun is proud his factory builds the Ford Ranger midsize pickup, and soon the Ford Bronco SUV. But he drives an F-150, along with almost every member of his family.
His cousin, whose last name is spelled differently, sells F-150s at Jorgensen Ford in Dearborn.
He often puts people in an F-150 and suggests they drive, explaining "it's not just a work truck anymore and it's comfortable for families with young kids."
"I'm able to drive any vehicle in the dealership and I choose the F-150 every time," Baidoun said. "People will say they don't want to come out of the Ram Hemi engine. I tell 'em to just go drive that 2.7 liter V6 Ecoboost engine and I've never lost a customer wanting power."
When the dealership is selling more than 40% full-size pickups out of 120 sales each month, "you don't have to make yourself look good by talking bad about other people," Baidoun said.
The 115-year-old company and its F-Series have led in full-size pickup sales in America since the first "Star Wars" blockbuster hit theaters back in 1977.
When it comes to fighting for market share, every detail matters. The advertising, the quality of products, public relations.
But Ford may benefit simply from its history, McElroy said.
"There's still the residual benefit of not taking government money during the bailout. The public remembers stuff like that. I still hear people say they'll never buy a GM product," McElroy said, and the latest GM controversies about plant closures, job cuts and sourcing from Mexico resurrect past anxiety and anger.
In some ways, Ford's history is invaluable during these uncertain times, McElroy said.
Ford, Silverado and Ram dominate 84% of the sales in a truck segment that includes GMC Sierra, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan.
Jessica Caldwell, senior analyst at the car shopping site Edmunds.com, said, "There's a lot at stake here. The truck market is extremely lucrative for the auto companies. Any advantage or sales increase they have is really important to their bottom line. You are paying for your future with these trucks. Having more success either through sales or margins sets these companies up for success."
While Honda, Volkswagen, Volvo, Subaru, Hyundai Kia and Tata saw a sales increase from first quarter 2018 to 2019, many including the Detroit 3 did not.
Ford sales dropped 2% while GM and Fiat Chrysler dipped 7%.
The F-Series is a buffer.
Ford plans to have a new F-150 in 2020, including a new hybrid powertrain with beefed-up towing and payload that can also operate as a mobile generator on job sites.
"Our history has never been to wait for an all-new truck, where you load it up with new features and say, 'Bam! Innovation!'" Levine said.
The F-Series is built in Dearborn; Louisville, Kentucky; Avon Lake, Ohio; and Claycomo, Missouri.

Knauf Brio dry screed floor panels have been developed for use in new or refurbished domestic and commercial building applications. The lightweight panels are specially designed as a cost effective alternative to wet screed. Drying times are eliminated and the floor is ready for traffic within 4 hours. For optimum convenience, Knauf Brio is available ex-stock from Access Floors Distribution.
The medium density 1100 kg/m3 gypsum fibreboard has a low profile of only 18mm, yet creates a strong and robust monolithic floor. As well as replacing wet screed, it can be used as a screed board overlay where the sub floor is not suitable to accept finishes. Knauf Brio has precision engineered lap joints for quick and easy to install by any competent tradesperson using adhesive and purpose made screws. Complementing Brio is GIFAfloor Universal Boards (UB). Featuring tongue and groove joints, UB gypsum panels are the perfect replacement to wet screed and timber boards where direct bonded ceramic floor finishes are specified.
Knauf Brio delivers impressive acoustic results. The board mass reduces impact and airbourne sound transmission, whilst minimising floor build up heights. Simple installation can easily meet and exceed the requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations. Panels options include an additional laminated wood fibre resilient layer. This is particularly useful for refurbishment projects over timber planks and old screed floors. Impact noise from footfall significantly reduced, whilst only an additional 10mm is added to the flooring profile. Brio is also non-combustible, achieving an A1 fire classification under EN 13501-1.
Knauf Brio benefits from being thermally transparent. It has a very high thermal conductivity rating of λR 0.38W/mK. When combined with underfloor heating systems, energy use is reduced as heating response times are quicker. Normally, large amounts of energy are wasted heating up traditional chipboard or heavy wet screed. Knauf Brio has dramatically shortened response times and therefore lower running costs, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. The result is perfect, efficiently achieving a comfortable environment in residential applications. Brio can be used either as a carrier for pipework (routed screed replacement) or as an overlay to pipework. Hard floor finishes are accepted with no further layers required.
AFD stock the full range of Knauf Brio and UB screed panels, ready for immediate delivery. This includes laminate wood fibre versions plus the essential accessories – joint adhesive, Brio screws, flooring edge strip and floor primer. In fact, everything you need to complete your project quickly. Knauf Brio components can be purchased in any quantity, including split packs. Simply contact us with your requirements for delivery in 24-48 hours.
Raised access floor systems are the ideal solution for projects in many market sectors. From data centres through to offices and retail premises, raised floors deliver benefits for the maintenance and reconfiguration of building services. Explore the sectors below for more information.

Q: Smallest eigenvalue of a type of irreducible matrices with diagonal perturbation Let $A=[a_{ij}]\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be an irreducible matrix such that $a_{ii}=\sum\limits_{j=1,j\ne i}^n |a_{ij}|$ for all $i=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ and $a_{ij} \in \{0,-1\}$ for all $i\ne j$. Note that the eigenvalue of $A$ is non-negative.
Then, denote a diagonal matrix with only one non-zero diagonal entry as $$\Delta=diag\{0,\ldots,0,\varepsilon,0,\ldots,0\}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$$ where $\varepsilon < 0.$
Then, can we prove that the smallest eigenvalue of $A+\Delta$ is negative?

A: EDIT. The answer is YES.
Since $A$ is irreducible, each $a_{i,i}$ is $>0$ and $u=\max (a_{i,i})>0$. Note that if $\lambda\in spectrum(A)$, then $\lambda$ is in the closed disc $D(u,u)$. In particular, if $\lambda\not= 0$ then $0< Re(\lambda)\leq 2u$.
Let $\epsilon >0$, $\Delta=\epsilon E_{i,i}$. Then $B=-A+uI$ is irreducible non-negative and $\rho(B)=u$, a bound reached by the eigenvalue $u$ (indeed, the eigenvalues of $B$ are in $D(0,u)$). Moreover, $u$ is a simple eigenvalue (Perron-Frobenius).
$B+\Delta=-(A-\Delta)+uI\geq B$ implies that $\rho(B+\Delta)\geq \rho(B)$. Assume that $\rho(B+\Delta)=\rho(B)$; according to Wielandt, for every $j$, $(B+\Delta)_{j,j}$ and $B_{j,j}$ must have same modulus, that is false for $(i,i)$; then $\rho(B+\Delta)>\rho(B)=u$ and $\rho(B+\Delta)$ is reached by a $>0$ eigenvalue $u+\tau$. Finally $A-\Delta$ admits $-\tau<0$ as eigenvalue and we are done.
