Male chickens dance and "boom" to attract mates in elaborate ritual on the prairie
PRATT — Each spring, one of the most extraordinary rituals in all of nature occurs right here in Kansas — the courtship of the prairie chicken. The large expanses of natural prairie in Kansas may be awe-inspiring to humans, but to the prairie chicken, some patches are special. These are the mating grounds — called "leks" — where male chickens gather at dusk and dawn in elaborate rituals designed to attract females.
PRATT — Each spring, one of the most extraordinary rituals in all of nature occurs right here in Kansas — the courtship of the prairie chicken. The large expanses of natural prairie in Kansas may be awe-inspiring to humans, but to the prairie chicken, some patches are special. These are the mating grounds — called "leks" — where male chickens gather at dusk and dawn in elaborate rituals designed to attract females.
These areas, also called booming grounds, are actually formed in fall when the order of dominance is established among males. At this time, mature males gather in these relatively high, flat areas and attempt to establish small territories as close to the center of the lek as possible, where activity will be highest in spring. Although young males visit the lek, they are kept to the edges and are seldom given the opportunity to establish their own territories.
While the fall activity is important and interesting, it is the spring booming activity that attracts anyone fascinated by nature. Beginning in March and lasting through the end of May, male chickens display an incredible array of vocalizations and maneuvers to attract a female's attention.
In the mating ritual, the male chicken's tail is elevated; horn-like feathers (called pinnae) on the neck are raised over the head; and the wings are lowered with the primary feathers spread. The bird stamps its feet while moving forward or in circles, and this is followed by a series of rapid tail snaps and fans. At the same time as the tail is clicked open and shut, a whoom-AH-oom sound is given as bright orange air sacs on the neck inflate for maximum exposure.
A second major display is flutter-jumping with associated cackling calls. The male jumps several feet into the air, flies forward, and lands. In so doing, the bird advertises its presence as well as the location of the lek. Flutter-jumping is a common tactic of peripheral males when females are near the center of the display ground.
A female will typically fly to the edge of a lek and walk slowly toward the center. When the hen enters a male's territory, the male's behavior changes greatly. The ritual is performed with high frequency and extreme posturing. The male will display in circles around the female, showing all aspects of its plumage. At the peak of this performance, the dancer often spreads his wings and lays its head flat to the ground, as if bowing to the hen. If suitably impressed, the hen will flatten to the ground, signaling a willingness to mate.
Occasionally, fights break out among competing males. This is mostly ritual, as well, involving short jumps; striking with feet, beak, and wings; and face-offs in which the competitors whine and attempt to stare each other down. Injuries do occur but are seldom serious.
With its large, colorful air sacs, horn-like pinnae, and feathers growing all the way to its feet, the prairie chicken is one of the most beautiful and unusual birds in Kansas. And its mating ritual makes it one of the most fascinating birds to watch. Kansans are lucky to have the largest population of prairie chickens in the world, so viewing opportunities are good.
Two species of prairie chicken can be found in Kansas. The greater prairie chicken, by far the most populous, can be found throughout portions of northcentral and eastern Kansas, especially in the Flint Hills region. The lesser prairie chicken, which is slightly smaller and has red air-sacs instead of orange, can be found in pockets of native sandsage prairie in the southwest. The lesser prairie chicken male produces a higher-pitched, bubbly sound, or "gobble," leading to the term "gobbling grounds" for their leks. On a quiet spring morning, the sounds of both species can carry as far as two miles across the open prairie.

Venue: Marines Memorial Club and Hotel, San Francisco, California
Aaron and I first met as kids through family friends, but we didn't start dating until 2004, when I met Aaron at a Superbowl party. We hit it off right away, but he was getting deployed to Afghanistan. During his tour of duty there, we corresponded constantly, and he called me all the time.
We were together for three and a half years before we finally got married, and during that time he was away on three deployments. Even when he was home, he was based in North Carolina, and I was back in California.
We wanted to have our wedding in April, but then Aaron's tour in Iraq was extended, so we had to move the date to July.
For our wedding location, we chose the Marines Memorial Club and Hotel in Union Square — it was an obvious choice for us. The wedding was about a hundred people, mostly close friends and family. We wanted to have some military touches at the wedding. Many of the groomsmen were former military, but most chose to wear tuxes, since they couldn't fit into their uniforms anymore.
Aaron has been a squad leader in Iraq the last two times he was deployed, and had a young man named Stephen Smith serving in his squad. Stephen (we call him "Smitty") lost his leg due to an IED. He was able to fly out to San Francisco from Walter Reed to be a part of our ceremony. When it came time for the rings, Aaron's best man fumbled through his pockets looking for them and then all of a sudden there's Smitty coming down the aisle in his uniform, bearing the rings on his hat! It was a wonderful surprise and a very touching moment of our wedding.
During the reception my dad had the DJ at the wedding call every current and prior service member there on the dance floor and they had a special song and toast for them. Aaron wore his sword, and we used it to cut the cake!
My grandfather had served as a Marine in the Second World War, and my family's gift to Aaron were my grandfather's Eagle, Globe and Anchors — golden Marine insignia that Aaron wore on the collar of his dress blues and on his "cover" (his hat).
Jennifer, our Bella photographer was great. She had lots of great photo ideas. We rode the cable car and strolled through downtown San Francisco, feeling like the main attraction. Many people stopped to congratulate us and even asked to take photos with us. That was pretty cool! We now live in Washington DC, where Aaron is serving in a new job. I miss San Francisco, and hope to come back soon. In the meantime, our photographs are a wonderful memory of home.

It was a typical, relaxing Saturday afternoon. We had spent our Saturday attending soccer games, doing yardwork, and then recovering from those activities. I logged in to Wow and did some mining just to pass some time. Everything seemed perfectly okay with my account. Nothing was wrong at all. Plus, I have an authenticator. My account isn't in jeopardy at all, right?
Furthermore, I keep the authenticator in a specific spot on my desk. It is well out out reach of our toddler, and the older children know that this is daddy's key to his online world, and I would
So, after my farming, I was fixing some food. I noticed that I didn't put it back in THAT spot. It was just sitting there on top of the desk. To the best of my recollection, I meant to take care of it, but I didn't (or so that's how I remembered the story). But I didn't think much of it.
Not until I went to log on for our raid that night. I had been off to a meeting, come back, put the kids to bed, and was ready to log on for the night... but the authenticator was gone! It wasn't in it's spot. I replayed the events in my mind, and after retracing my steps, I knew that my 18-month old was to blame. My wife and I searched the entire house. (Big props to her for looking so hard, btw.) At one point, our oldest woke up, and we asked her about it as well, and she didn't know anything. I did log on to vent to let everybody know why I was late, and then eventually that I wasn't making the raid because of my "locked" account.
After quite some time searching, and even looking into calling Blizzard to disassociate my authenticator with my account (they're only open weekdays from 8am to 8pm FYI), I decided to give it up for the night. Hopefully I could figure out a way to coerce my 18-month old (who doesn't talk much, but can understand basic commands) to retrieve the authenticator for me.
The next morning after all the kids got up, I had this vision of the Brady Bunch where everybody searches for the authenticator that "Tiger" ran away with, and "Cindy" finds it in the dog house or something. Nice thought, right? Yeah... didn't exactly happen like that, but all the kids did search... mostly. And we didn't find it.
Then Sunday afternoon, I went to get dressed for church, and what fell out of my suit pants? The authenticator. So, due to my own failing memory, I had locked myself out of Wow and our raid. As a side note, I still have to make up for getting upset at my son and blaming him. But on the plus side, he's 18-months, so he didn't really get what was going on anyway. lol.

This is a collection of baby boy names names from France. The French names on this page are used mainly as Christian names although some may be used as a family or surname. French girl or female names are listed on a seperate page.
There are hundreds of common French first names and the following pages contain a selection of them. Some of them are very similar (if not identical) to their English counterparts, whilst some are completely unique.
Some distinctive French naming conventions that you may notice are that:
1.Many male names become female with the addition of one of these suffixes (end part of the name): -e, -ette, or -ine.
2.Hyphenated names are very popular in France. They are usually composed of two names from the same gender; i.e., Jean-Pierre, Paul-Henri. Sometimes they may also be made up of one boy name and one girl name, with the "dominant" gender name first, as in Jean-Marie (Jean-Marie le Pen, the French politician, being an example). The hyphentation is regarded as one name, not a first name and middle.
France is in Western Europe, bordering the Bay of Biscay and English Channel, between Belgium and Spain, southeast of the UK. The French have had an influence over vast parts of the world through trade, language and governance and this has helped French names or phrases to spread around the world

Henry Awards: The complete list of eligible shows
The Colorado Theatre Guild today released the list of shows from the 2009-10 season that were scored by a minimum of six judges and therefore were eligible for this year's Henry Awards.
The full slate of nominations was announced early Friday, and you can find it here.
The good news: The total number of eligible shows is 72, which is comparable to last year. Frankly, when I saw that ony 15 of the Guild's nearly 50 eligible member companies received even a single nomination, I would have predicted that number to be much smaller. (And three years ago, it was less than 50).
The bad news: Exactly 72 other shows were otherwise eligible, but not seen by enough of the Guild's 25 judges to qualify for nomination consideration. (In addition, a production must by done by a metro-area Guild-member company to be eligible).
This was the first year using a massive new, and experimental, voting system that you can read more about here.
But clearly, there is still work to be done. The Guild gathered judges for a brainstorming session today, with another scheduled for Wednesday, to discuss strategies for getting more shows eligible next year.
And good for the Guild's Gloria Shanstrom, who today, in an act of full transparency, released the list of shows that made it to the six threshold. Now companies don't have to wonder whether their shows were fully considered for Henry Awards or not.
So if you see your play on this list, it received full consideration, equal to that of any other play. If you don't, then your play never stood a chance.

A perceptible change was afoot Nov. 27-29 at the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association's (RVIA) 50th Annual National RV Trade Show at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky.: The prevalence of park models set up among the sprawling 730,000 square feet of traditional motorized and towable RV's.
Not since the mid-1990s when they parted company with RVIA had the park trailer manufacturers been such a serious factor as Louisville Show exhibitors. Now that their Georgia-based Recreational Park Trailer Industry Association (RPTIA) has been shelved and they've been welcomed back as RVIA members along with the rest of the U.S. recreational vehicle industry, a total of 10 park trailer builders were displaying 2013 product at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC).
The exhibitors were Skyline Corp., Forest River's Park Model Division, Athens Park Homes/Champion, Breckenridge, Chariot Eagle, DNA Enterprises (Canterbury), Dutch Park Homes, Fairmont Homes, Kropf Industries Inc. and Woodland Park.
"The feeling was very positive. It goes to the whole notion they are part of the overall RVIA family again," said Matt Wald, the RVIA's recreational park trailer executive director. "Both psychologically and from the traffic flow, they felt it was a good deal for them."
RVIA created a new membership category in July for park trailer builders, and, by year's end, 18 manufacturers representing about 95% of annual park trailer production had joined the Reston, Va.-based trade association, with two other applications pending at press time. "We had anticipated having 15 members," said Wald. "We have exceeded our expectations. Everybody is happy about that."
All but two of the new members were affiliated with RPTIA, which still exists in name only. "A couple of OEMs are still not in the RVIA family, but we would love to have them aboard," said Wald, noting that there's a new page on the association's www.rvia.org website pertaining to park trailers with a link to annual shipment figures and other information. "Some are waiting to see if this 'marriage' works before investing in it. We think it is a value proposition they can't stay away from."
Skyline's display was as prominent as any at the 2012 Louisville Show. In fact, Skyline, headquartered in Elkhart, Ind., has opted to resume park model production at its manufactured housing plants in Wisconsin and Oregon based on the dealer response to its Louisville Show park model exhibit, reports Mike Scheid, division general manager of Skyline's Leola, Pa., plant.
Skyline showed a Shore Park-brand unit built in a manufactured housing plant and using a host of manufactured housing componentry like residential-style drywall, said Scheid, adding that his plant picked up eight to 10 new dealers at Louisville and business looks to be up 25% to 35% again this year. Skyline's Canadian business also is growing.
The Elkhart-based Forest River Park Model Division showed three new park model floorplans at Louisville. Even though the company's display was in "an obscure corner of the northwest wing," dealers came to buy. "Our product changes were well received," reports account representative Gary Duncan. "Dealers came with a purpose."
Forest River has targeted its marketing toward campgrounds, a hospitality arena that Wald calls "one of the hottest growth areas" for park models because of the fact that so many campgrounds are buying and leasing these units – many of them with rustic aesthetics — to first-time campers and others without RVs in what amounts to a burgeoning "cabin" style of accommodation.

Tin Man, The SciFi Channel's reimagining of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz begins airing on Sunday night as a three-night miniseries. It's a complete refab of the entire book as you know it, set in the O.Z., or Outer Zone. The 13-year-old kid in us loved the complete reworking of something that has quite frankly become stale and boring over the years. But the cynical adult in us has some problems with the story.
Our inner tween loved the sci-fi touches in this darker, more violent Oz. Every holiday season The Wizard of Oz comes on television, and ding, dong the witch is dead and all that jazz. Sure it's charming to some degree, but by the fifteenth time you've seen the thing, you're ready to seek solace in something new. Which is where Tin Man comes in. You've got holographic projections, people getting shot left and right, an evil queen who can suck the life out of you, and an entire town full of robots where no humans are allowed.
But our inner adult had some quibbles. First of all, it's called Tin Man, but the Tin Man isn't central to the story. In fact the title will lead some people to think that this is a miniseries version of The Tin Woodman of Oz, which was the 12th book in the Oz series. Second, the main character D.G. simply accepts the fact that she's in an entirely new world right away, yet wanders through the rest of the story with a slack-jawed, wide-eyed face. By the time night three rolls around, you'll find yourself wondering if she might be missing a few marbles.
The new miniseries revolves around D.G. (Zooey Deshcanel), a restless young motorcycle-riding waitress living with her parents in Kansas. She begins having strange dreams and visions of a woman who is trying to tell her something. This enigmatically leads her parents to remark "it's time." Strange men in long black leather coats called "Longcoats" (hooray for clever names) show up via a tornado and attack the family. Mom and "Popsicle" (as D.G. calls her dad) take D.G. to the roof and toss her off into the cyclone. After a couple of seconds they hop off too. That's how D.G. gets to the OZ, where munchkins are resistance fighters.
Other changes: the Wicked Witch-esque villain has flying monkeys tattooed on her neck, which come to life and do her bidding. The titular Tin Man is a cop who's been imprisoned in a steampunk suit of armor, where he's been forced to watch a projected holographic time-loop of the day his family was taken away from him. Richard Dreyfuss plays The Mystic Man, a sideshow psychic who can see visions of the future when he takes "the vapors." When he performs his act, he appears as a giant green glowing head. Toto is now "Tutor," a man who can turn into a dog and was responsible for D.G.'s education when she was a child. And D.
It would be really fun to see someone turn The Wizard of Oz completely on its ear and set it fully in a science fiction realm without any magic at all. Of course, stories like Farscape and even Buck Rogers use that as a basic premise, but we want to see the Oz story used as a template for a sci fi reimagining. With this new Tin Man series coming out, and cool things like the Oz manga that came out last year, it'll probably only be a matter of time before someone gives it a whirl.

A year ago Anne-Marie Slaughter, former Director of Policy Planning in the United States State Department under Hillary Clinton, resigned her job. It was indeed a job to die for, but Slaughter realised that she wanted to spend more time with her husband and children, especially her 14-year-old son who was going through a troubled time.
The Sunday Times reported how Ms Slaughter talked to a group of women at Oxford University, saying: "I just got up there and started talking about how incredibly hard it had been and how it had changed my assumptions about my entire career trajectory."
Slaughter believes we have reached a tipping point. It is just too hard for women to have it all. As men's as well as women's lives are changing, Slaughter and other women at the top of their professions want us as a society to address the way we still see paid work, and, of course, the corollary of work in the home and bringing up children.
One partner in a leading law firm quoted in the Sunday Times made a very telling point: "We've got to change what it means to be a partner because otherwise we are not going to be able to attract the best young men, as well as the women."
Whet this albeit anecdotal evidence shows is that the younger generation of men are looking for more balance between their work and family life. I find this encouraging. If we are to have an equal society for men and women with both able to make equal choices the question of work, children, domestic and caring responsibilities, men need to be involved. Women and men should be seen as equal.
Anne-Marie Slaughter's immediate goal is to close the leadership gap. She is absolutely right when she says that it will only be possible to forge a society which really works for equality when women wield power both corporately and professionally in sufficient numbers.
Slaughter sees an overhaul of school timetables which are based on the assumption that women do not go out to work as essential. She also thinks we need a change in the male-driven work culture of presenteeism, including more home-working and flexi-time, to allow more balance between work and home life.
Interestingly, Slaughter calls for women in employment to talk about juggling childcare and domestic responsibilities with their work. She is certain that if men knew what women have to deal with they would be more ready to make changes.
Anne-Marie Slaughter has, I believe, done us all a service by being so open about her own experience. Work-life balance is one of the biggest challenges our society faces. Women are now expected to work and very often need to for economic reason. For most women staying at home is not an option. We need to address this huge question in a far more rational and thought through way than is currently the case.

"The logic is pretty obvious," said retired Army Brig. Gen. Clara Adams-Ender. "The troops need to be in excellent physical condition because of the demands of the important jobs they do in defense. Rigorous physical and mental standards are critical if we are to maintain the fighting readiness of our military."
Makes sense to me. This was said at a press conference by a member of "Mission: Readiness, a group of retired admirals, generals, and other senior military leaders."
An interesting idea would be for the military to offer a fat fighting pre-boot camp… boot camp! Isn't one particular incentive for young – underprivileged – high school graduates to join the military that they will be given job training and assistance for college? I don't see why offering to get them into shape wouldn't be a good angle. I think it would be great if we started seeing commercials for the Army or Navy that basically demonstrated it as a fat camp, that also turned us into some sort of hero by letting us serve our country while battling the bulge. Pun intended. I could see that being a pretty tempting notion for a lot of young people who just need someone to yell at them when they don't feel like doing push-ups. I don't really see that type of promotion much different than one that claims you will receive financial assistance for school. Both are just incentives, and different people want different things in life.
I'm not sure if I'm sold on the idea that because "27 percent of young adults are medically ineligible for the military", that we are actually less safe. I mean, I definitely can't imagine trekking around all day on foot, carrying 50 pounds of gear and another many pounds of excess fat, and still being on top of my game when it comes to 'fighting the enemy'. However, I think some people's ideas of what makes us safe are a little skewed. The U.S. does, afterall, spend about as much on its military than the rest of the world combined, and yet a large section of Americans still feel unsafe.
Putting the politics of foreign policy and military spending aside, I really like the angle these retired military leaders are taking by not just saying Americans are too fat to protect themselves, but actually suggesting/targeting something specific like school lunch programs, like those that serve pizza for freaking breakfast.
"We cannot wait until our young adults reach enlistment age to do something about it," said retired Navy Rear Adm. James Barnett Jr. "By that time, they may have already developed a chronic and lifelong weight problem." […] "If we do something about it, school can become a terrific environment for proper meals."
I found this point in the article particularly interesting:
The retirees referred to a similar push military leaders made in 1945, when concerns about poor nutrition in potential recruits resulted in the creation of a national school lunch program.
So the school lunch program that serves sloppy joe's and strawberry sugar milk was a result of a similar proposal? I think that because the result of those suggestions has unfortunately turned into a travesty of nutrition, that it may have bitten the military leaders in the ass. I'm curious of the exact concerns they had in the 40's that caused them to speak up back then. I wonder how those concerns compare to the ones that exist today, amidst our obesity epidemic and all… when most major diseases that cause premature death or poor quality of life are lifestyle diseases, largely attributable to poor diet.
With junk food in the cafeteria, physical education programs being scrapped all over the place, and school funding in general seemingly going down at every turn, I still think the school's are a great place to start. Good job, Mission: Readiness!

You just can't trust the GPS on your phone. I've been wanting to buy one for use exclusively in my car (where else would I use it?) and it would have come in handy today. I get lost in Downtown easily but luckily Sparky's Roadside Barbecue was easy to find after my disastrous attempt to drive down a one-way road thanks to my GPS.
I walked in and could smell the BBQ goodness in the air. I felt right at home as this isn't one of those trendy pretentious places trying to pass themselves as a barbecue joint. While I don't consider myself a BBQ expert I do consider myself an "experto" at spotting a fake.
I was kinda torn as to which of the appetizers to go for but the Wings and Corn Nuggets ended up being my choices. I wanted to try the Hush Puppies also but I figured there's always next time if I dig this place. The Wings were awesomely smokey and delicious but those Corn Nuggets. Damn those guys! The Corn Nuggets are breaded cream of corn deep fried. They're served with a side of ranch for dipping but it's really not necessary. Wow.
My wife Marcela orders Tyler's Pressed Sandwich (Brisket, Pulled Pork, Sauteed Onions, American Cheese & BBQ Sauce) while I go for the obvious choice of the half-pound Angus Beef Burger w/American Cheese. The sandwiches are served with Waffle Fries (interesting) and Coleslaw (not my cup of tea). There are a bunch of sauces at the table, six to be exact. Sparky's BBQ Sauce was my favorite of the 6 but the one labeled "Magma" is sure to guarantee a bad time for the person who doesn't realize the serious heat they're about to take on.
I liked Tyler's Pressed Sandwich but I wish we had just decided to have the Brisket or the Pulled Pork individually. I'm not trying to dissuade you from having this I just think since it was our first time here we should have tried out the goods solo. Now, as for the burger…..well I was kinda speechless. It was so good since the smokey taste permeated the patty. It had 2 slices of American Cheese and nothing else on it. I barely touched the waffle fries. I was mesmerized by it so much so that I ordered a second one.
The Mac'n Cheese and Cornbread were both fresh and solid. Good stuff and the Cornbread ended up being my guinea pig for the sauces I mentioned before. Also, try the Apple Wood and Hickory Smoked Boneless Chicken Thigh, it's killer.
Burger numero dos arrives and I don't even remember eating it but I know I did. And I'd suggest you do the same. When you go save me a seat!

Imagine the inconvenience of being without your vehicle. Could you afford costly repairs, or replacing your vehicle altogether?
At Wayne Phillis KIA we understand that your vehicle is a critical part of your life. When you take out your insurance you can choose the level of cover that is appropriate to your vehicle. You can choose from three levels of motor vehicle cover – Comprehensive cover, Third Party, Fire and Theft cover or Third Party Liability cover.
Our Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Insurance policy will replace your Kia if it is a total loss, so long as it is still no older than 2 years from first registration date and new car warranty still valid.
With Comprehensive cover we can also help you with:
Many people borrow to help buy the vehicle of their dreams and most take out insurance to protect their investment and their finance. However due to depreciation and other factors, if a vehicle is declared a total loss, your insurance payout may well be less than the amount owing on the vehicle.
GAP cover insurance helps to protect you from financial and personal inconvenience, by covering the gap.

Penn State's Joe Paterno is already three decades beyond being age-eligible for AARP membership. The university's head football coach not only can claim seniority in his profession, he's about to reach an Everest peak with more wins than any other major-college coach in history.
His next coaching victory, which could come Saturday against Illinois, will be his 409th . That would give him one more than the record he currently shares with the late Eddie Robinson, who rang up 408 career wins at Grambling State in Grambling, La.
Altogether Paterno has coached for 62 years at Penn State, first as an assistant to Rip Engle, and for the last 46 years as the head man. That tenure at the helm makes him the longest continuously serving coach at the same Division I school, a mark previously held by Amos Alonzo Stagg, who spent 44 years at the University of Chicago.
Penn State quiz: Do you know your Joe Paterno trivia?
During six decades on the Penn State sideline, Paterno has coached in more than half of all the game's in the school's long football history, which began in 1887.
Consider this: When Paterno arrived in University Park, Pa., fresh out of college in 1950, Harry Truman was president and Winston Churchill was still Britain's prime minister. The Korean conflict was raging.
On the gridiron, things were far different than they are today. Army was second-ranked and Princeton No. 6. Penn State was an independent, decades away from joining the Big Ten Conference. H-shaped goalposts were made of wood, and players had single-bar face masks, if any at all.
Despite all that Paterno has done plying his trade in Pennsylvania's "Happy Valley," it wasn't long ago that even the faithful began to think the Brooklyn native may have stayed too long at the dance. Yes, he had led the Nittany Lions to five undefeated seasons, two national championships (in 1982 and 1986), and more bowl wins than any coach in history (35) – this while making generous financial gifts to the university. But the "Grand Experiment" – Paterno's vision for successfully marrying winning football with academic integrity – appeared to be faltering.
During a five year stretch, from 2000 to 2004, Penn State won just 26 games and finished a mortifying ninth in the Big Ten in '03 and '04. With "it's-time-to-go-Joe" sentiment growing, Paterno said that if he didn't get things turned around in 2005 he would step down. The result? The team went 11-1 and wound up tied with Ohio State for the conference title. The Nittany Lions repeated the feat in 2008.
This year Penn State is 7-1, with its lone loss coming in Week 2 to currently second-ranked Alabama. Last Saturday, it knocked off Northwestern, prompting Pat Fitzgerald, the Wildcats coach, to say, "There is a reason why Coach Paterno is tied with Eddie Robinson; he is the best ever."
For Penn State to climb higher and for Paterno to surpass Robinson, it must beat an Illinois squad that started with five straight wins before hitting the skids the last two weeks. The game will be played in Penn State's 106,000-seat Beaver Stadium at 3:30 ET, with what is expected to be a supercharged crowd eager to see history made.
If Penn State doesn't win Saturday, the road only gets tougher as games against perhaps its three toughest Big Ten opponents follow: Nebraska, Ohio State, and Wisconsin.
One of the key factors in Paterno's success is his no frills, old-school approach, which is visibly evident in the simple blue-and-white uniforms, which are as iconic as the coach with his trademark eyeglasses. The uniforms have probably undergone fewer style changes than any in college football, the addition of a Nike swoosh practically the only compromise to tradition.
Part of what makes Paterno so beloved is his genuine love of the game and its role as an educational vehicle. He seems oblivious to the public adulation. In articulating his philosophy, he once said, "The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital."
While overseeing a practice in the preseason, a wide receiver crashed into Paterno. The injuries he sustained have forced him to coach much of this season from the press box, a place he occupied for some games in 2006 and 2008 as well after other on-field injuries.
Paterno no longer takes to the road to recruit and he acknowledges that he increasingly delegates to his staff. And therein, perhaps, lies a key to the school's continuing football success.
Paterno has managed to assemble a very capable and loyal team of assistants, two of whom have been with the program for more than 30 years. The average tenure of his 10 assistants, including his son, Jay, the quarterbacks coach, is nearly 18 years, which surely gives Penn State one of the most stable, long-serving staffs in the country.


text: Recently, masterworks from LACMA's American Art collection went on loan to Korea as part of the exhibition Art Across America. That presented an opportunity to rethink how our American Art galleries were installed. While researching the collection, co-curators Jose Luis Blondet and Austen Bailly found many connections between representations of the East and West coasts which they have creatively displayed in the installation Compass for Surveyors: 19th Century American Landscapes. Here, Jose Luis discusses the ideas behind the reinstallation of the galleries and how ideas of the American East and West play into the geography of the gallery itself.

Give Peyton Hillis credit: The kid stays in the picture.
Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reported Tuesday that Hillis will remain with the New York Giants after signing a two-year deal worth $1.8 million, according to a source.
Hillis was out of football when the Giants called him up last October following several injuries to their backfield. Hillis appeared in seven games (one start), finishing with 247 yards on 73 carries (3.4 yards per rush) with two touchdowns.
Hillis is 28 and hasn't been an impact player since his breakout season with the Cleveland Browns in 2010. He provides depth in the Giants' backfield, but consider it a surprise (and very bad sign) if he's competing for a significant role in training camp.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys study the free agency picture with the help of NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.

The recipe has instructions for baking, grilling and pan-frying, and I did a bit of a hybrid between grilling and pan-frying. I have a Calphalon grill pan that I love, and I used that, which created those beautiful grill marks. I also did a lot of basting, just as I would have if I had tried to grill outside (which I've never done, my husband does the grilling in our family). I thought about having my husband grill this outside, but our grilling experiences are really hit or miss. This could be because I rarely let my husband grill, so he doesn't get much practice... Anyway, this is quite possibly one of my new favorite chicken recipes. I will definitely be making it again. It was easy, cheap and flavorful. Try it for dinner tonight, you probably have all of the fixings on hand!
And yes, it was as good as it looks!
Grilled Maple Barbecue Chicken
from The Local Cook
3/4 cup maple syrup
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp canola oil
1/4 tsp onion powder or 1 tbsp minced onion
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
6 chicken breasts (I used 3 and it worked out just fine)
1. Combine all the ingredients except the chicken in a tight fitting container. Shake the container to mix well. Add chicken. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to overnight.
2. Microwave everything together for 5 minutes and remove chicken.
3. Boil remaining marinade in a small saucepan for 3-5 minutes.
4. TO GRILL: Grill chicken, turning and brushing with marinade.
TO BAKE: Pour marinade on top and bake at 350, basting every 15-20 minutes, until done (around 30-40 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken).
TO PAN FRY: Cook chicken in fry pan. When it's nearly cooked through, add the marinade, which will carmelize. Add 3 tbsp of water to the pan, and stir to deglaze. Serve over the meat.

White Papers and Application Notes
Bio-Effluents Tracing in Ventilated Aircraft CabinsG. Petrone[1], L. Cammarata[1], and G. Cammarata[1]
[1]Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering, University of Catania, Catania, Italy
Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) are issues of very high interest, determining comfortable conditions for occupants and no-contaminated local atmosphere. The aircraft cabins are more confined and have a higher occupant density than other indoor environments such as offices or residential houses. The passengers and the crew share a closed and ventilated cabin, which brings potential risk of infection and inhalation of airborne pollutants. The present study deals with a numerical investigation on bio-effluents transport and diffusion in ventilated aircraft cabins. Several layouts for ventilation system (Mixing Air Distribution, Under Floor Displacement, Personalized Air Distribution) are analyzed in order to strike a balance between air quality degradation and comfort conditions for passengers. Analyses are based on bio-effluent concentrations monitoring inside the cabin.

Rated 2 out of 5 by jccwc from Looks pretty, not a great brasier The knob on the top is lovely, but the way this pan performs is not lovely. It's only three ply, so heat distribution and retention is not great. It has hot spots. It now just sits on my stove looking pretty. The Le Creuset brasier is by far better. I gave it two stars because it's pretty to serve food in at the table.Date published: 2017-01-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Beckreut from very elegant I had been looking for a piece that was attractive and held large amounts, but it seemed like the ones I found in the right size were enameled cast iron. They were almost too heavy for me, even without food in them. The Ruffoni braiser is much easier for me to hoist around, yet the thick bottom of the pan cooks wonderfully. It's just exactly what I wanted, although I hadn't even considered Ruffoni. I just happened across it in our local WS Store and realized it fit the bill perfectly! I keep it out on the range because I adore the hammered finish and the incredibly beautiful vegetable knob. It gets lots of compliments!Date published: 2013-08-29Rated 5 out of 5 by passion4theexquisite from Beauty and functionality Cooking with these vessels is truly wonderful. Even distribution of heat for every type of cooking technique for perfectly preparing foods. And, clean-up is almost a pleasure because the pots are so lovely and relatively easy to keep (I truly love cooking but am not thrilled with the clean-up jobs. The handles are not a problem at all if you take care in treating these items with the respect deserved. Anyone that enjoys the art of preparing good food at any level cannot go wrong with investing in this line of pans.Date published: 2012-11-20Rated 5 out of 5 by Entertablement from Fabulous Cookware I am utterly delighted with my Ruffoni cookware. I have now accumulated the entire set and use it constantly. Beautiful heat distribution, and incredibly easy clean up. I like it even better than my All-Clad copper core, which is arguably top-notch. Yes, the lids are bit tricky, but are gorgeous and worth the extra effort. Silicone oven mitts are definitely the way to go - they're flexible enough to get a good grip.Date published: 2012-02-16

Healthy men are busy men. He balances work, regular visits at the gym, healthy cooking, and an active social life all at once. He does not spend much time staring at the screen, so when he does, you do not have much time to attract his attention.
Writing your content with healthy men in mind can seem daunting. It's easy to develop your writing with interesting stats, links and interesting writing, but this is not always appealing to the average man.
There are some tips and tricks, which can help you engage even the toughest readers. Keep reading to learn how to structure content for healthy audiences.
Creating Content For Healthy Men
Write authoritatively
Studies show that women speak differently from men. Women tend to use apologetic language. They use terms like "I just …" and "I'm not an expert, but …" because of unexplained needs to apologize and take as little space as possible.
You will not often catch a man with a problem about sending his salad back to the restaurant if too much dress. Men tend to have their authority more proud than women, and they respond to the same language as their target.
Written copies from different gender perspectives are very different, there is even a Chrome app in development that will discover and remove apologetical language from female email.
Notice the authoritative voice in this article. The note makes the reader sit and watch. That's the goal when writing for men.
Write proudly, avoid apologetic language, and firmly affirm your claim. This is the language that is used and responds to men in their daily lives. Simplifying your language to get rid of excess hair can help you achieve this goal.
Authoritative language is a normal language with trimmed fats. Men are not simple-they do not talk much like women. Generally, they prefer to operate in their minds, just saying what is needed, while women prefer to think hard.
Consider this function when writing copy for men. Cutting your language to the bare bones is best for male language processing. Check out this article about men's sportswear-note the simplicity and accuracy of the language.
As you write, you can try entering the target URL into your content more directly, for example, than natural and organic.
For example: You write content for a healthy male audience target about health supplements. You want to include a section on TextX Core, a male testosterone booster. Instead of sneaking links into well-crafted paragraphs, you can write them simply and directly, such as:
"Let's live the chase: Is TestX Core safe?"
After knowing a little about the product, men want to answer their questions. Direct and direct links will interest men to copy simple, succinct, and useful.

All eyes will be on USDA's Planted Acres and Quarterly Stocks reports June 30, which could definitely be a market mover for dairy prices.
There has certainly been significant concern in the grain markets so far this year. In much of the Midwest and Northeast, there have been abundant snowmelt and rainfall resulting in flooding. Homes and farmland have been under water and are still under water. Continued rainfall resulted in delayed planting as well as causing the abandonment of fields. In the Southeast and Southwest, there are very dry conditions affecting crop and pasture growth. Much of what is taking place seems to be very similar to last year.
These weather problems, combined with strong demand, sent corn prices to new highs, with some projections topping $10 per bu. Certainly, lower planted acreage and reduced yield from lack of rain would affect yield and prices. The most recent World Agricultural Supply and Demand (WASDE) report supported this idea. USDA left ending stocks for the current marketing year unchanged at 730 million bushels. Furthermore, it reduced the ending stocks for next year to 695 million bushels, which would be the tightest stocks since the 1995/96 crop year. This certainly did not bode well for food prices, feed prices and profitability.
Interestingly enough, corn and soybean prices topped that day and have virtually declined ever since. Despite the weather problems and less planted acreage, weather in the Midwest has nearly been ideal for growth. States in the Midwest generally dictate the overall market sentiment during the growing season.
In the end, corn and soybean planting progress caught up to the previous year and five-year average, with crop conditions nearly right where they were last year. The question will be how many acres did get planted and what yield projections will be on those acres given those crop conditions. No doubt grain prices will be high this year, but both corn and soybean futures have fallen nearly $1 per bu. since the release of the WASDE report.
USDA will release its Planted Acres and Quarterly Stocks report June 30, which could definitely be a market mover. This will give the industry numbers to work with, along with current crop conditions to make yield and carryover projections.
The current grain futures price movement is a blessing in light of strong milk prices. June Federal Order class prices will be released on Friday, with the trade expecting a Class III price around $19.20 per cwt., while futures are projecting a July price over $20.00. If the current July price at the time of this writing were to be realized, it would be the highest price since December 2007. Of course, a lot can happen over the course of the three weeks, as July is currently being priced by the trade.
However, to put this in perspective, March corn futures in January 2008 were around $4.60 per bu. when the class prices were released. Currently, corn futures are around $6.70. So, although weaker grain prices are welcomed, it is a far cry from where the milk/feed ratio was the last time milk prices were at current levels.
Cheese prices have been strong, and both buyers and sellers are comfortable at current levels. However, buyers are not very interested in pushing prices much higher. It seems like a plateau has been reached. A decreasing butter and nonfat dry milk price suggests demand is being met. The benefit of milk movement to butter/powder versus cheese is now becoming more balanced with Class III and Class IV prices closer together.
May cold storage showed American cheese stocks decreasing from the previous month, although still remaining higher than a year ago. Stocks have had a difficult time increasing this year compared to previous years. Demand has remained strong, leaving limited supply to build inventory. This is good as inventory still is higher than it was in 1986. Total cheese stocks increased on the latest report, which is large at 1.048 billion pounds, but certainly did not increase as much as usual.
There is a lot of year yet to unfold. Let's savor the high milk prices of the present and protect the milk prices for later. Consider using fence positions consisting of the purchase of put options and the sale of call options to allow for upside potential to the level the call option was sold. A lot can happen, and we do not want to let prices slip away if demand slows and supply becomes more plentiful.

- Agricultural prices report on June 29
- June federal order class prices on July 1
- California 4a/4b prices on July 1
- Dairy Products report on July 5

The issue of electrosensitivity does not generally inspire politicians despite its having been introduced through the Abeille Law where an article requests obligatory reporting by the French health agency ANSES, but apart from this, nothing new.
In spite of the flagrant lack of inspiration regarding this condition on the part of a majority of our representatives, the Deputy Jean-Claude Buisine put the question to the government at the beginning of August, for the attention of the Minister for Social Affairs and Health, Marisol Touraine.
This Deputy from Somme wants to draw the attention of the Minister to our plight, which, it must be said, is not really glorious as he says, since some persons are obliged to abandon everything and face a kind of Kafkaesque wall erected in our society preventing us from being acknowledged, be it medically or socially.

HyperCam is powerful video capture software that records AVI movies (screencam) directly from your monitor, for software presentations, software training, demos, tutorials, and fun! HyperCam supports text annotations, sound, and screen notes (great for creating automated software demos!). You can also select Frame rate and compression quality prior to video capture. This format can be played under Windows, as well as the Internet, unlike other programs that use proprietary formats that may need special viewers and be difficult, if not impossible, to edit.
HyperCam captures the action from your Windows screen and saves it to AVI (Audio-Video Interleaved) movie file. Sound from your system microphone is also recorded. Please note that HyperCam is not intended for re-recording of other video clips from the screen (e.g. playing in Media Player, RealVideo, QuickTime etc.), but rather for creating regular software presentations, tutorial, demos etc.
Features include:
• New in ver. 6 TextSnap™ feature to capture editable text from almost anywhere on the screen, when running under Windows 2000, XP, Vista or newer. Starting from ver. 6.10 can also capture tab-delimited data for easy paste into MS Excel.
• New & powerful image capture, editing, annotation and manipulation tools.
• Snags also those difficult-to-grab screens from DirectX™ and Glide™ games.
• Image stamps, frames, drop shadow, free-hand capture, FTP server uploads, more!
• Automatic color substitution!
• Non-rectangular window capture!
• Button Capture – perfect for professional technical writers who need to snap and document dozens of buttons!
• Auto-scrolls and concurrently captures long web pages and other. documents, enabling it to grab more than is visible on the screen.
• Tightly integrates with the MS Windows clipboard to automate repetitive tasks – will even automatically PASTE capture images where needed!
• Automatically saves your captures to graphics files.
• Doubles as effective image viewer, format converter (over 20 image formats supported).
• Fully customizable user interface. Rearrange menus and toolbars any way you want, assign any keyboard shortcuts you like, tear off menus to create instant toolbars, even control HyperSnap with voice commands!
• Extended Window Capture function when running on Windows XP® . Resizes a window to be much bigger than the screen before the capture – in one quick step, no auto-scrolling!
• Much, much more!
Please note that HyperCam is not intended for re-recording of other video clips from the screen (e.g. playing in Media Player, RealVideo, QuickTime etc.), but rather for creating regular software presentations, tutorial, demos etc.
HyperSnap is compatible with XP/Vista/Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit)
Changes in HyperCam 2.26.00, 2012.05.18:
* Corrected some confusing messages inside HyperCam window.

News on RED and EMCD
- Details
- Category: EUROCOM
- Published: Friday, 18 December 2015 14:47
- Written by Thilo, DL9KCE on behalf of Séamus, EI8BP
- Hits: 2169
The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) will replace the R&TTE Directive in June 2016. The RED sets out the requirements for radio equipment placed on the EU market. Radio equipment includes electrical or electronic products which intentionally emits and/or receives radio waves for the purpose of radio communication.
Generally radio equipment used by radio amateurs, including radio kits for assembly and use by radio amateurs, radio equipment modified by and for the use of radio amateurs and equipment constructed by individual radio amateurs for experimental and scientific purposes related to amateur radio falls outside the scope of the Directive.
Currently, Guides to the RED and the Electro Magnetic Compatibility Directive (EMCD) are being prepared. Séamus McCague EI8BP, in his role as Vice Chairman of PRC, has been attending meetings of the Guide Drafting Working Groups and their parent working parties (EMC WP and TCAM) to contribute to the drafting of the Guides on matters relevant to amateur radio. The work is ongoing and the IARU contribution is to ensure that we can continue to enjoy the amateur radio services to the maximum.

|MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.2.4 has been released
|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.2.4, a new version of the ODBC driver for the MySQL database management system, has been released. The available downloads include both a Unicode driver and an ANSI driver based on the same modern codebase. Please select driver type you need based on the type of your application - Unicode or ANSI. Server-side prepared statements are enabled by default. It is suitable for use with any MySQL version since 4.1 (It will not work with 4.0 or earlier releases.) The release is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.2.html For information on installing, please see the documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-odbc-installation.html Enjoy! The MySQL build team at Oracle ============================================================================== Changes in MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.2.4 (5 February, 2013) This release fixes any bugs encountered since Connector/ODBC 5.2.3. Its main focus is on compatibility with the latest features of MySQL 5.6. Functionality Added or Changed * The new connection option can_handle_exp_pwd indicates that your application includes error-handling logic to deal with the error code for an expired password. See Connector/ODBC Connection Parameters (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-odbc-configu ration-connection-parameters.html) for the details of this connection option and the associated SQL state and native error code. See ALTER USER Syntax (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/alter-user.html) for details about password expiration for MySQL server accounts. This new option is added to the Windows GUI, through a checkbox Can Handle Expired Password on the Connection tab of the Details dialog. * The following reserved words were added to the list returned by the SQLGetInfo() ODBC function, for compatibility with the latest MySQL 5.6 syntax: + GET + IO_AFTER_GTIDS + IO_BEFORE_GTIDS + MASTER_BIND + ONE_SHOT + PARTITION + SQL_AFTER_GTIDS + SQL_BEFORE_GTIDS Bugs Fixed * When a column with type TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, or LONGTEXT was retrieved from a table with a binary collation, the text fields were converted to a hexadecimal representation, even though these values were not really BLOBs. The unnecessary conversion could expand the data, causing overflow problems when storing the result values. (Bug #11746572, Bug #27282) Thanks, RE Team. -- Kent Boortz, Release Staff engineer Oracle, The MySQL Team Mobile: +46 76 77 69 049

Concepts and Drawings
I begin most of my work with a conceptual sketch so I can explore different ways of bringing an idea to life. While most of my thoughts become three-dimensional, some concepts remain on paper or as partially assembled "drawings" of real parts placed together unattached. Some of these concepts are proposals for public art projects. This section consists of ideas that remained as such. Many more are in my sketchbook, not presented here. Enjoy this small glimpse.Read More

I have been regularly going to Ike's Coffee and Tea for about 3 years. They have a pretty wide selection of teas. They will accommodate you and make ice tea out of their types of normally hot teas. I mostly purchase the "Prickly Pear" Ice Tea. It has a nice refreshing taste and is not brewed too strong. Their have their own label for coffee. I have been pretty satisfied the limited times I had their coffee drinks. A friend that regularly visits Tucson, raves about their coffee. She states it is the best coffee she has had from a cafe.
I was a vegetarian and have only tried a couple of their plates. They do have a few vegetarian options. They have a Veggie a la Rosene, a sandwich with humus, green chilies, apples and feta. I regularly get the Humus Plate, which is a good snack for two people. Now, that I am a vegan, that is the only daily option for me.
The staff have always been nice and pleasant. They always greet you with a smile and have tried to answer my questions about certain menu items. Make sure you leave a tip when you visit here. They deserve it.
They do have daily soups. Which is my only negative comment about Ike's. Some of staff does not seem for sure to know the allergen content of the soup and if it is vegan. It would be a good idea to have a book that states what is in each soup, so the staff can reference it. I have been to other restaurants and cafes and they have this type of chart to help their customers.
Overall in my opinion Ike's is one the best coffee places in town. They are a weekly stop on when I go to the grocery store or doing my errands on that side of town.
Bentley's sandwiches are great, as are the coffees. I'm pretty much just seconding cgerken's 1/22/10 glowing review, including the part about table space being something of a precious commodity because people treat it like their living room. But the baristas are friendly AND they give you a toy animal (say, a dinosaur or a cow) to mark your table while you wait for your food.
Bentley's has excellent soups and other fare, as well as great coffee drinks. The atmosphere is comfortable and airy. The staff has a complete list of all menu ingredients so for vegans or gluten intolerant/dairy intolerant diners this is an excellent place to eat. Be aware that while there is WiFi, it is cut during the lunch rush so they can accommodate their lunch crowd. People tend to use Bentley's as an office, which can make finding a table problematic. Clients should be sensitive to the owner's business needs and free up tables when necessary. This is a great place for desserts as well - overall high food quality, everything made fresh. Highly recommended!!!
