Heber City once again hosted the biggest rodeo in Utah on June 6-10 with over 900 entries in 12 events. Eleven Emery High School Rodeo Team members qualified for State by gathering points at rodeos held throughout the state during the year. During the finals rodeo, many of them raised their point standings by placing in the two go-rounds and the final go. Point standings were also enhanced by competitors who placed in the average of the three go's. When the points were tallied, the top ten advanced to the final go round on Saturday night.
State qualifiers this year included Wacey Allred riding bulls, Jaden Bagley riding barebacks, Lacey Branson breakaway roping, Colton Grange team roping, Tawn Jewkes pole bending, Jacob Marshall, riding bulls, Justin Miller riding barebacks, Andy Sitterud calf roping and team roping, Chris Wilson riding bulls, Cade Whittle cutting, and Brock Winn riding saddlebroncs.
Riding great stock in the traditional torrential rains and muddy arenas, five of the Emery Team members: Wacey, Jaden, Justin, Brock, and Cade, advanced to the final go and finished in the top 10 in their events, qualifying them for the Silver State International Rodeo held in Fallon, Nev., during the first week in July. All of the other state qualifiers have also qualified to compete in the Panquitch Invitational in July.
Commenting on the State Finals Rodeo, Wacey said, "It was a fun rodeo. It would have been cool to make it to Nationals, but Fallon will be good and hopefully next year we'll be better."
Justin: "I didn't have the year that I had hoped. The finals were fun and next year I'll be ready to ride again and have a better year."
Cade: "I was proud of my horse the first go and got second place. I didn't do so well in the second go and the finals, but I'm looking forward to next year."
Brock: "I had a good time. I could have done better in the first go-rounds, but you can't go back. I had fun in Fallon last year so it will be fun to go back."
The Emery High Rodeo Team thanks their parents and families and all of the community who donated time,money, and effort to help make this a successful rodeo season.

Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 1.3% Monday, which seems almost boring after so many swings of 3% and 4%.
If it's not wild enough for you, note Direxion's pair of beasty-looking leveraged exchange-traded funds that offer three times the juice of the MSCI Japan Index.
Direxion Daily Japan Bull 3x Shares is set to commence trading on NYSE Arca under the ticker JPNL on Wednesday, while Direxion Daily Japan Bear 3x Shares' ticker will be JPNS.
Much as leveraged ETFs get nasty press, there's a clientele. Direxion Daily China 3X Bull Shares (YINN) has $58 million in assets despite the hammering the Chinese market has suffered lately (though it's interesting to note that Direxion Daily China 3X Bear Shares (YANG), which has fared better this year, isn't nearly as widely owned).
Japan's major stock indexes won't trade like a hot IPO in 1999 forever. For now, though, it's been quite a ride, even without leverage. WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) slumped 2.9% in Monday's session, cutting its YTD gain to around 19%. iShares MSCI Japan Index fund (EWJ) lost 2.7%.

Le recensioni dell'alloggio
The flat is good located, near metro satiation, if you are persistent you can go to city center by walk. In the area are few shops also supermarket. Agostinha is friendy and room was clean and comfortable.
Agostinha takes hosting to a new level! The apartment is really spaceous and the rooms(living-, kitchen, bedroom) are very comortable. Even a small breakfast was included.
In terms of good advices for Lisboa, Agostinha provided us with a lot of good information about the city and its surroundings - no need for a travelguide.
We highly recommend 'Take a Break Lisboa'.
We really had a great time in Lisbon and in Agostinha's appartment. She was very kind and helpfull and we enjoyed staying there, spending time and talking.
Our room was beautiful and clean, the complete appartment looked very nice and clean and was well equipped. It is in a nice and quiet area, about 15 min walk from the Metro Station and about 30 minutes walk from Rossio.
We very much enjoyed our holidays in Lisbon.Our host Agostinha was very kind, caring and friendly. She gave us a lot of useful information about Lisbon. The room was very tidy and nice. We had the possibility to cook something in the kitchen.
We totally recommend =)
très bien placé dans Lisbonne accueil agréable Agostinha nous a très bien reçu

Everything was ok, location is fine and the room is clean. The kitchen is well equipped. But during the winter the small heater is not enough.
Agostinha ist super Gastgeberin sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit.

Agostinha is a perfect host. She gave us a lot of information and advices for our stay. The location is good.

The room was very nice and we had right to a private bathroom, shared kitchen and shared living room. Internet was very fast. Everything clean and in perfect conditions. Free parking in the area (be patience and you'lll find a place). Totally recommended.

Clippers top Kings, earn home-court vs. Memphis
SACRAMENTO – Jamal Crawford will take tough shots, and he'll make tough shots, but a rainbow 3-pointer with the shot clock running down Wednesday might be his biggest as a Clipper.
For good measure, Crawford followed it up by hitting another one on the next possession, giving the Clippers a big 112-108 victory in their regular-season finale Wednesday at Sleep Train Arena.
"He had his rhythm all night. He's been great for us all year so no surprises," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said.
With the victory, the team's seventh in a row, the Clippers clinched home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs and will host Memphis on Saturday at Staples Center.
The Kings weren't going to go down without a whole bunch of fight.
Playing in what was perhaps their final game in Sacramento, the Kings pushed the Clippers to the final minutes until Crawford finished them off. Crawford scored 13 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter.
Blake Griffin struggled most of the game. In the Clippers' victory Tuesday, he took a shot to his lower back, and Wednesday he was dealing with spasms.
Before the game, Del Negro said Griffin was fine, but late in the first half, Griffin drew a charge and immediately grabbed his back.
He limped off the court and toward the locker room, but he returned to the bench, where he walked back with his team up eight at halftime.
Griffin was able to play in the second half, but he wasn't any more effective until four late points in the fourth quarter. Griffin scored only seven points.
"He never really got loose out there," Del Negro said.
On the other block, Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins had a monster game. Playing with effort and emotion, Cousins lit up the Clippers for 36 points and 22 rebounds.
During halftime of the TNT broadcast of the Clippers' blowout victory over Portland, analyst Charles Barkley wasn't shy with his thoughts about the Clippers' chances this postseason.
"That team has got no toughness," he said. "They're not a legitimate contender."
Del Negro didn't seem too surprised by Barkley's comments.
"Big Chuck? ... All that stuff is irrelevant to us, to be honest," he said.
Del Negro dismissed the assessment all together.
"You have to rebound and be physical. I don't know what teams he thinks are physical," he said. "We've pretty much beat every team. I don't see that being an issue."
Inside the locker room, Clippers players sort of shrugged their shoulders.
"Barkley's going to say what he's going to say. He's entitled to his opinion just like everyone else is," Willie Green said. "But our mindset is on tonight's game and preparing for the playoffs."
But that doesn't mean the Clippers will forget the sentiment.
"Most definitely not," Eric Bledsoe said. "Everything we use as ammunition."
Barkley's criticisms were similar during last year's playoffs, and the Clippers had his words taped to the wall in the locker room.
"We just try to turn negatives into positive," Green said. "People might say you can't do something. Instead of believing what they're saying, you can take it as a challenge to prove people wrong."
Crawford broke Rasual Butler's team record for 3-pointers in a season when he drilled a high-arcing shot from the corner. It was Crawford's 146th of the season. Crawford made three more from deep, giving him 149. ... Chauncey Billups, who returned Tuesday from a strained right groin muscle, looked sharp Wednesday, scoring 17 points, including four free throws down the stretch.

I have not been writing as "Terry" for a while, someone is impersonating me
which is the problem with sites that don't require people to register.
I want to thank everyone again for the advice given. I am still struggling
with my school and have actually taken a "mental health" day today because I
cried the entire drive into my school yesterday.
I am not a weak person or a person who deserves the attacks and assumptions
that have been happening on this board. If you reread my first post, it was
written in a moment of desperation and I begged for no negativity.
Thankfully, there were some that felt compassion and have written nice
notes, but others (I prefer to think) are not teachers at all but bored
lurkers who have nothing else better to do than to kick a person when they
are down.
Thanks again and Good luck to everyone,

I am most appreciative of this opportunity to report on HB 49, which relates to the filing of shareholder applications to make changes in the place or purpose of use of water. I hope to correct some misrepresentations and foster a better understanding of what the bill does, and does not do.
The Company/Shareholder Relationship:
Early in the settlement of Utah, it became apparent that individual appropriators of water could become much more effective and efficient by joining together in developing better diversions, delivery systems, and taking water turns. Mutual ditch or irrigation companies were formed and have been instrumental in the development of productive agricultural operations, attractive communities and the general beautification of these valleys. I cannot overstate the contribution they have made to the quality of life that we enjoy. I represent several water companies and have their support. I am equally supportive of them and water companies in general. Anyone who represents otherwise is wrong.
In dealing with applications to make changes in water use, it is necessary to understand the relationship between the company and its shareholders. It is a trust relationship. As early as 1900 in Carter Creek Water and Irrigation Company v. Lindsey, and reaffirmed in Salt Lake City v. Cahoon Irrigation Company in 1994, the Supreme Court held:
"Mutual ditch companies... [are] formed expressly for the purpose of furnishing water to shareholders, not for profit or hire. The mutual irrigation corporation is simply a trustee for the stockholders, and not the owner of the water."
The young lawyer who wrote the guest editorial in the Progress three weeks ago, repeated over and over again that the "company owns the water." It would have been more accurate to state that the company has "record title," but does not own the "right of use." That right, which is all that can be owned, rests with the shareholders. As stated in many cases, including Cahoon in 1994:
"Mutual irrigation corporations are not organized to make a profit for their shareholders but rather to allocate water to shareholders who already own the right to use that water."
Recently, opponents of HB 49 have circulated among irrigation companies a claim that owning stock in a mutual irrigation company is "no different than owning stock in Boeing Airline or Microsoft." Few things could be further from the truth. Such a claim was expressly rejected in Cahoon and cases dating back to early times:
"But the stock certificate [in a mutual water company] is not like the stock certificate in a company operated for profit. It is really a certificate showing an undivided part ownership in a certain water supply."
From these excerpts we should derive the simple lesson that a "water share" is not just a "share" in a corporation, but a "share" in the actual water right itself. It is a unique right and involves a pro-rata ownership in an extremely valuable asset that is irreplaceable and in ever increasing demand.
A Major Shift Away from the Shareholder
The first water code after statehood was adopted in 1903. It provided that any person having "right of use of water" could change the use. The language is still part of the change application statute. Until 1992, shareholders were able to file change applications and they were routinely ruled upon by the state engineer.
In 1992, the Utah Supreme Court reversed the state engineer's approval of Payson City's application to transfer to its well water shares in East Jordan Irrigation Company located in the Salt Lake Valley. Disregarding the change application statute and relying on corporate law, the court held that the company had to file the application. It was a dramatic shift from too little company involvement to complete company dominance. That produced its own set of problems.
The 2002 Act and "Stonewalling"
The balance of power was shifted even further away from the ultimate users in a 2002 statute that created what has come to be known as the "stonewall" option. The "stonewall" arises when a shareholder submits a written request to a water company to file a change application on his/her behalf. The company has 120 days to issue a written decision notifying the shareholder. This is not optional. It is a statutory duty. But it is followed in the code by what may be considered an unusual provision. If the company violates the written decision and notice obligation, the statute provides that "the failure to respond shall be considered to be a denial of the request." The consequence from the failed duty runs against the shareholder who is left in the dark, not knowing when or why his/her request was disregarded. The alternatives available to the shareholder are limited to two - walk away or file a lawsuit. The average, modest-income shareholder will walk away. He doesn't want and can't afford an expensive lawsuit. The big and powerful shareholder will do the reverse. It will roll over the stonewall like it was nothing. Either way, the "stonewall" is likely to produce an undesirable result.
Recent Case Law Developments
The Gessel guest editorial in the Progress treated the 1992 East Jordan case as the beginning and ending of water law on change applications. It is neither. The prior case law, discussed above, supports a more balanced approach, as does later case law. In 2005 the Supreme Court decided Strawberry Water Users Association v. Bureau of Reclamation. The Bureau, relying on the East Jordan decision, claimed that as the "record title owner" it was the only authorized change applicant - even to the exclusion of the irrigation companies in south Utah Valley. The court rejected the Bureau's argument and reinforced "right of use" as a basis for filing a change application. The Court also clarified a 2003 ruling in Prisbrey v. Bloomington Water Company so that it is in accord. Finally in 2008, the Supreme Court decided Salt Lake City v. Big Ditch which is now the controlling case law. The Big Ditch Court held:
"After analyzing all of our cases on the issue - East Jordan, Prisbrey, and Strawberry - we conclude that owner or appropriator status is not determinative of whether one may file a change application. Rather, one's right to use water is significant. While there are times when one's right to use is subsumed to other competing interests, as in East Jordan and Prisbrey, it remains the case that one with an entitlement to use water may file a change application."
The Development of HB 49
The foregoing is the backdrop against which HB 49 has been developed. The process has been ongoing for the last two years. There have been scores of meetings, many drafts, and much input. I have incorporated virtually all thoughtful recommendations. The bill has six simple objectives: (1) a fair balanced process (2) eliminate stonewalling, (3) get the issues on the table, (4) avoid having the process bog down, (5) attempt to resolve through mediation, and (6) get the water issues before the state engineer whose duty is to evaluate and rule on change applications.
Under HB 49, the process would flow as follows: (1) The shareholder fills out a change application and gives it to the water company for its response. (2) The water company has 90 days to consent, consent on condition, or decline consent and state the reasons (3) The packet is forwarded to the state engineer who simply examines whether the parties are in agreement. (4) If the parties are in agreement, the state engineer proceeds to process the application. (5) If there is a disagreement, the state engineer sends notice that (a) the parties must mediate, and (b) if the water company has not responded it must do so within 30 days or its consent is established. (6) If necessary, mediation is held within 60 days, but may be extended by an additional 90 days. (7) If the mediation produces an agreement, the state engineer processes the application. (8) If an agreement is not reached through mediation, either party has 60 days to seek a court ruling on a defining legal issue that is beyond the purview of the state engineer. (9) If such an action is not filed, the state engineer may process the application under long existing legal standards. (10) Either party may obtain de novo ("from the beginning") review by the district court.
What the Bill Does Not Do
The bill does not change the substantive law on what the state engineer can consider or approve. Comments reported in the Progress to the effect that it authorizes water to be transferred down the Green River or to the Wasatch Front are incorrect. The bill addresses only the process and is designed to not allow a "stonewall" to end the inquiry. There are in Utah about 1,000 water companies, 5,000 directors, and perhaps 200,000 shareholders. I respectfully submit that the process we rely upon needs to square with fundamental fairness to all these water owners and those who serve on the governing boards. We should want no less.
I also make clear that I do not support an effort to export water from the valleys where we live. There is some protection already built into Utah law and I will support any enhancement of that protection to the full extent possible.
I welcome additional opportunities to sit down together and will make myself available on the hill or on a weekend. Generally speaking, a line by line review of the bill has quelled most concerns and brought increased support. You may reach me at email@example.com or schedule a meeting with my intern Olyvia Lindgren at firstname.lastname@example.com or (435) 893-5232.

New and improved tag parser in TXP 4.0.7 (?)
A completely rewritten parser just landed in the 4.0 development tree
- Full tag nesting support (unlike the current 4.0.6 parser), so this works:
do this
<txp:else />
do that
<txp:else />
and otherwise do this
- Attribute value escaping: only the delimiter characters (single or double quotes) must be escaped. All other characters need no escaping inside attribute values. Examples:
<txp:tag attribute="'single' ""double"" quoted" />
<txp:tag attribute='''single'' "double" quoted' />
<txp:tag attribute="< > ' &" />
- Unquoted attributes are deprecated and will give a warning in testing/debug mode:
Wrong: <txp:tag attribute=value />
- Attribute parsing for attribute values enclosed in single quotes (better know as 'wondertag' support). Provided you use the proper quote escaping, this works till unlimited depth.
<txp:tag not_parsed="value" parsed='<txp:sometag attr="value" />' />
The new core parsing function (parse) is 50-100% slower than the old parser, but since 4.0.6, several other parsing related functions have been optimized for speed. I did a few tests with a fresh TXP install. Compared to 4.0.6, runtime (minus query time) was actually 5% faster! The actual speed difference will probably vary depending on how complex (tag nesting level) your templates are, but I don't expect dramatic speed differences with 4.0.6.
Since this is a rather big change for what we'd like to think of as a stable TXP version, it could really benefit from some testing.

Re: New and improved tag parser in TXP 4.0.7 (?)
This is great, when I have a chance I'll test nesting on a local site and let you know.
Updated a live site, set it to testing and got the warning errors for unquoted attributes, fixed a form all is well.
Should of timed the site before I updated but I notice no slowdown and all is working fine.

Re: New and improved tag parser in TXP 4.0.7 (?)
Oh my!!! :)
I have it installed and there are no errors and all seems to be working fine. Haven't tried any "nesting" or "tags-within-tags" yet as, oddly, I don't seem to be doing anything that needs it. Yet. I shall do some testing.

14 Fab Ways to Get More Bang For Your Buck
No matter the state of the economy, it never hurts to invest in items that give more bang for your buck. I'm talking about things that are convertible, reversible, and that can be styled in many different ways. Are your ears perked? Good because I did some searching and found 14 items that are way worth your money. The most expensive item, and my favorite, is this Foley + Corinna Reversible Mid City Tote ($485). I can wear it on the suede side when I'm feeling posh and the leather side when I'm craving punk.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Emery Telcom was started on Nov. 28, 1950 as an independent cooperative and 56 years later is a successful telecommunications company. The cooperative was formed as a result of the big Bells unwillingness to come into this rural area. Today, Emery Telcom has 15,000 access lines, 4,500 internet customers, and 110 employees.
At the annual meeting, Brock Johansen, CEO and general manager of Emery Telcom, introduced the eight new employees, those who have come to Emery Telcom since August 2005. He said he came to the position of CEO and general manager in December 2005. New controller and accounting manager is Darren Woolsey, while two new accountants are Jake Frandsen and Bryce Jacobsen. Andy Cunningham is human resource manager and Jared Anderson is the marketing and external relations manager. While not new to Emery Telcom, Mike Watson is in a new position as the information systems department manager, and Peter Kerr is the new switch operator.
For an overall look at the numbers, Johansen said the number of access lines is dropping and this is due to wireless cell phones and DSL. DSL customers are increasing and dial up internet access is dropping, thus reducing the need for second lines. "The drop in the dial up is not a bad thing though. It means more people are switching to DSL and that is what we want," said Johansen. While discussing DSL, he also explained that DSL provides several benefits over other internet solutions such as wireless and cable internet. DSL gives each customer a dedicated, reliable connection to the internet providing consistent, high speed access. On the other hand, both wireless and cable internet solutions deliver connections that are shared. Because of the shared connection, your service is slower during busy peak usage times.
In 2005, Johansen said that Emery Telcom completed seven major projects. These were fiber installations in the two county area. The company's goals for 2006 are to complete seven more major projects between Emery and Carbon counties. Another project is to update the company's website and equip it with online billing and payment capacity. Johansen also said they would like to purchase or lease fibers to Salt Lake City this year to reduce the dependency on Qwest's fibers.
"The more fiber we install, the greater the bandwidth. This is a great thing for Emery Telcom and our customers. "Our IP core network upgrades give us the ability to increase the bandwidth to each home of up to 30 Mb, and 100 Mb to businesses," said Johansen. "We are really excited with the new technology."
For the future, Johansen said the company is investigation IPTV which would enable them to supply digital TV over the DSL connections. This enables customers to watch high quality TV and allows internet access right on their existing television sets. They are also looking into providing cellular service to their customers, but first a partnership with a company owning a national network has to be established. Another possibility for the future is wireless internet.
Johansen reported that the patronage refunds in 2005 were just under $100,000. "We also play a big part in the community. We provide scholarships to high school seniors, take part in the Keys to the Community program, and donate $100 to each of the elementary schools on a monthly basis to fund learning through good behavior programs.
"We have photo and artwork contests for the students, host the Crystal Apple awards to recognize outstanding teachers, co-sponsor Senator Robert Bennett's rural conference, and make donations to each city and the county fair for their celebrations during the summer.
"Another project that we took on was to purchase nearly 300 T-ball shirts for our youth. We also donate to worthy causes such as the American Cancer Society, hurricane relief, and many others. I want to say thank you to all the members, the employees, and the board for all the support and hard work," said Johansen.
Following the presentation by Johansen, several drawings for prizes were held. Jared Anderson gave out various prizes including a new computer, won by Russell Larsen, and a home theater entertainment system, won by Jonnie Johansen. Other prizes included free DSL, a telephone, clothing, mugs, and pens. In addition, refreshments were served.
Eric Steinman, the CFO training Woolsey, said the company's financial standing is very good. "Over the past couple of years, the net income has pretty much stabilized from the acquisition of Carbon/Emery Telcom. Assets have stabilized, liabilities are decreasing, the equity is increasing, and the company has more than sufficient cash. These are all very good indicators," said Steinman.
Following the presentations concerning the standing of Emery Telcom, elections for two board positions were held. The positions held by Kevin Tuttle and DeLynn Fielding were up for nominations. Tuttle was again nominated and won by acclamation as no other person was nominated to represent Orangeville. Fielding and Todd Huntington were nominated for the Castle Dale area. Huntington won that election by seven votes. Other members of the board of directors for Emery Telcom are: Tom Hansen, Randy Jensen, Kathy Justice, Morris Sorensen, Paul Crawford, Kendall Mortensen, and Olive Anderson.
"We are sad to lose DeLynn and the expertise that he brought to the board in finance and economic development. He was a great asset to the group, and will be missed. At the same time, we would like to welcome Todd and are excited to work with him. We also congratulate Kevin on being reelected," said Paul Crawford, president of the board.
"The board of directors would like the employees, members and community to focus on the future of Emery Telcom, and does not desire to dwell on past problems," began Mortensen, vice-president of the board. He went on to say that during the 20 month investigation by the Utah State Attorney General's office, no criminal charges were filed. He also explained that the board has directed their own independent investigation and their findings were the same as the attorney general. "The board believes that it is now time to put this matter behind the company and to move forward to build a bigger, better and stronger Emery Telcom," concluded Mortensen.

Light, comfy trainers
"I purchased these to wear during circuit training and weight lifting. So far they have worked great for these activities and I have no complaints. They are lightweight, look great and are very comfortable. They seem durable. I normally wear a 7.5-8 in dress shoes and got these in 8.5. My feet are on the narrow side. The 8 may have been OK too, I am used to sizing up for my running shoes so I prefer more toe room."

Nice but tad tight
"Shoes is a very nice shoe. I needed a new workout show but it somewhat is a bit tight only because the make of this show does not have a tongue where you can just pull it up. It is connected to the shoe so there isn't much 'giving' room. It fits a tad too tight for me. But cute and I still may keep just for walking."

Cute sneakers but pretty narrow
"I usually don't buy wide sneakers but these sneakers run really narrow to the point where its uncomfortable and squeezing my feet! They are so cute so I am debating if I should see if I could break them in or just replace them. They're very light weight."

Halloween's my favorite holiday (not surprising for someone who takes any and every opportunity to throw a themed party), and lucky for me I live right here in Madison, the site of one of the nation's largest Halloween bashes. Here, building a costume isn't as easy as going out and buying fake teeth or a mullet wig; it's an excuse to create an all-out work of art. This year I'm dressing as Faye Dunaway's take on the infamous outlaw Bonnie Parker of Bonnie and Clyde, with a beret, scarf, and vintage-inspired tweed skirt (in addition to a cigar and some plastic weaponry). But some shopboppers who couldn't wait for tonight showed off their ensembles right here in the office:
Anna and Holly run from the papparazi—aka a shopbop photographer—as Mary-Kate and Ashley.
Maia goes Mad Men in '60s-inspired attire.
Kelly proves her rock-star (and pop cultural) cred by smashing a guitar as Jem.
A team of shopboppers might as well face it: they're addicted to Robert Palmer videos.
Have you found your Madonna gloves or Tina Fey glasses? Let us know how you style your Halloween night.

Recruiting the Next Generation of Food Safety Workers
Food Safety and Inspection Service Administrator Al Almanza today spoke about career opportunities at Texas A&M Kingsville to the Hispanic Leaders in Agriculture and the Environment. HLAE is a USDA-supported organization that draws membership from several colleges and universities.
The organization works to increase the number of Hispanics in agricultural pursuits in government, academia and private industry. While there, Almanza also observed and evaluated the agricultural research presentations prepared by HLAE members, who are mostly graduate-level students.
"Despite the tough economy, there are jobs at USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, especially for those with scientific and technical training", Almanza told the students. (Click here for information about job openings at FSIS.)
Positions at FSIS follow the inspection, technical, professional, management, scientific and administrative career tracks. Everyone from veterinarians and chemists, to public affairs specialists and policy writers are needed."
As a science-based agency, there's a real need for microbiologists, epidemiologists, statisticians, nutritionists, medical officers and risk assessors.
But it's not all test tubes and lab coats. The FSIS story is told through the Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Education, where computer, communications, journalism and writing skills are in demand.
FSIS also works with Hispanic youth organizations to offer internships and other training opportunities in agriculture.
While the Texas trip allowed the administrator to meet HLAE members, Almanza pointed out that careers are equally open to everyone. More than ever before, FSIS needs skilled and talented employees dedicated to protecting the nation's meat, poultry and egg products.
"As our population grows and now that food safety is a top priority of this administration, working to keep pathogens out of America's food supply can be a real top job. Agriculture and food safety offer meaningful and satisfying careers," said Almanza, who has more than 30 years experience at the Department of Agriculture.

Happy New Year!
I am back from a wonderful camping trip along the Gippsland coast. As a family we love to get away from it all - no mobile reception, no hot water and no shops. Plenty of swimming in the sea, shell collecting, reading in the hammock, boggle playing and marshmallow toasting! Bliss. It is so good to have a break from the norm, I now feel rejuvenated and ready for 2012. Our etsy shop is open again and ready for a new year. We have had some lovely comments from people who received Sweet William prints for Christmas - a nice start to 2012. Here are a few shots from our camping trip. Paula x

Mid-Day Headshots July 29th

July 29 2011 01:40PM
Mid-Day Headshots is a CanucksArmy feature where we round up today's freshest Canucks news including funny gifs, awesome videos, cool photos and interesting links. If you've written a Canucks blog-post and want it to be featured here, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Former Canucks defenseman Brent Sopel has left the NHL to play for Mettalurg Novokuznetsk in the KHL next season. Says Slava Malamud "Sopel should prepare for some baffling taunts" as his last name basically means "snot" in Russian.
Yesterday, the Province's Jason Botchford told me on twitter that he thought the Canucks were probably done tinkering with their roster for a while, and that he doubted their interest in Brad Winchester.
Also from Botchford - a solid take on Jannik Hansen staying with the Canucks for below market value. Says Hansen of his bargain basement new deal "If you want to be in a position to win, you have to make some sacrifices here and there. The most important thing to me was to come back to Vancouver for more than one year." The team is lucky to have a guy like this.
Interesting philisophical take by PassittoBulis' Daniel Wagner on intangibles. Quite an accomplishment to write a post in defense of intangibles that didn't make me roll my eyes a single time - no wonder Mr. Wagner is on to the green pastures of higher education.
Illuminating interview with Daniel Sedin in local Ornskoldsvik paper Allehanda.se. Here's the clumsy google translation of the article. Some interesting features of the interview: winning the Ted Lindsay Award means more to Daniel (or so he says) than the Hart. The Sedins are aware of the "they can't win the big game" criticism - and seem motivated to prove the doubters wrong. The twins say they are working their asses off in the gym this summer, and believe their increased fitness level and strength have been a major reason for their increased success the last couple of years. He also talks a bit about the attention he gets in Vancouver, and how he's turned to fishing to help him get away from the hullabaloo.

As the government shutdown dragged on, gloom mounted. James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, warned that foreign intelligence services might swoop in and recruit furloughed CIA workers. That seemed a little paranoid, but then we're talking about spies.
The CIA-doom scenario sounded a bit like the problems facing the cast of "Homeland" this season, except for the part where a member of Congress is a terrorist mole who falls in love with an intelligence agent who frequently fails to take her bipolar disorder medication. Reality in Washington has gotten so muddled that the land in "Homeland" is looking sort of attractive.
On Wednesday, House Republicans pushed to refund bits and pieces of the government that the members particularly like, such as veterans and the National Guard. Also anything that lends itself to a dramatic press conference, such as national parks and cancer treatment for children. Since the House proposals are never going anywhere in the Senate, there's a limit to what you want to know about what went on during the debate. Let's summarize:
Democrats: "Meaningless political theater!"
Republicans: "Come to the table!"
Coming to the table has now replaced strangling Obamacare as the most popular GOP war cry. There is a long-standing political rule that when all else fails, you demand more talking. If you're running for office against a guy who's got 70 percent in the polls, it's time to call for a debate. If you're already having four debates, it's time to call for six.
"Why don't we sit down and have a conference committee about how we're going to fund the federal government?" demanded Rep. Ander Crenshaw of Florida. Republicans have posed this question a lot, and it would be an excellent one if they were not the same folks who have spent the last half-year refusing to sit down and have a conference committee about the federal budget.
"Even Bill Clinton, after I voted to impeach him, would work with you to get things done," said Rep. John Mica of Florida. That seemed like a high bar. But then there's nobody Republicans love more than the former president, who has a winning way of not being Barack Obama. If only Bill Clinton would come back! Then none of this would have happened, except the shutting down the government part.
So here we are. The Senate has passed a bill to keep the government running until Nov. 15. A majority in the House would probably go along, but the House leadership won't let the bill come up for a vote. The fate of the nation now appears to be hinged on a couple of dozen unhinged House Republicans who are demanding that government funding be coupled with Obamacare axing.
Public-spirited citizens are now forced to become acquainted with a whole new collection of characters who seem to be running the show, like Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho. Actually, he is the easiest one to remember, since he once considered running for governor against the current incumbent, Butch Otter. I think I speak for us all when I say that Labrador versus Otter would have made 2014 worth waiting for.
Nobody else has that thrilling a resume. When a small number of legislators hold the balance of power, they almost always turn out to be terrible. No matter what party is in charge, when the leaders need just a handful of votes, it's going to come down to Crazy Fred and Julia-who's-about-to-be-indicted.
This time, the cast includes Louie Gohmert of Texas, who blamed the mass shooting at a movie theater in Colorado on "the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs." And Steve King of Iowa, who you may remember as the guy who claimed that the children of illegal immigrants have "calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert." And Michele Bachmann (you've met her).
Perhaps you also recall the exciting time that Mr. Gohmert, Mr. King and Ms. Bachmann had in Egypt on a recent fact-finding tour during which Ms. Bachmann appeared to get the Muslim Brotherhood mixed up with al-Qaida and Mr. Gohmert compared the general-in-charge, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, to George Washington.
And so we go. Lots to look forward to. Mark your calendars:
Oct. 17 -- Debt Ceiling Crashthrough! Government runs out of money to pay its creditors. Also the birthday of Dutch darts champion Jelle Klaasen and International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
Nov. 15 -- Government runs out of funding! This is presuming it ever gets its funding back. Also, republic proclamation day in Brazil.
And then, you know, it's the holidays.
Maybe by that time Congress will achieve the goal it's been shooting for all year and get its favorability rating into negative numbers. As it is, the ratings for the final episode of "Breaking Bad" suggest that Americans would already prefer to spend time with a murderous methamphetamine dealer than the House of Representatives.opinion_commentary

February 24, 2009 By Hilton Collins
In summer 1998, Sacramento County, Calif., and Phoenix, Ariz., entered the world of public-sector enterprise resource planning (ERP) with their eyes wide open. Each needed to replace disparate legacy systems in various departments with an all-in-one enterprise system that integrated individual business processes and their data. Ten years later, the two governments who led the way for local government ERP provide insight on how they did it and what they've gained. Both purchased solutions from ERP software giant SAP, and they're two of the company's oldest local government customers.
"These are really the first two SAP public-sector customers in the U.S. Sacramento County and the city of Phoenix, in my opinion, they're really on the leading edge of the rise of platform," said Rod Massey, vice president of SAP's Global Public Sector.
Both jurisdictions' deployments are still going strong.
"We had a lot of legacy systems, mainframe systems that did various components of our business. We had a purchasing system that was vended, a financial system that was vended and an HR system that was vended. And they were from three different vendors," said Michael Connelly, an IT manager in Sacramento County's Office of Communications and Information Technology (OCIT). Connelly wasn't there for the original implementation, but he currently manages personnel who perform system upkeep. "These were older legacy systems, and so we thought, rather than just spending a lot of money trying to bring these into compliance, why don't we put that money to use instead and bring in a newer system and maybe something that integrates all of these pieces?"
And that they did. According to Connelly, the move to bring ERP into county government was spearheaded by business units that wanted to replace end-of-life programs that might not function in the new millennium. They also wanted to streamline data transfers between departments.
"If you have separate systems, somehow you have to link the information from one system to the other. Things don't always translate right. Things don't always work the way they should," he said. "And inevitably, your systems are out of sync. They have different data in them. Transactions don't happen that you thought should happen and so forth. With an ERP system, it's all integrated. So purchasing feeds finance, HR feeds finance, finance feeds purchasing."
The county shortened its hiring process by two weeks after the deployment. Sacramento also eliminated the distribution of paper reports, which used to take 80 hours.

But the government didn't only implement the solution to save time and manpower hours -- a threat loomed on the horizon. Y2K was coming, and as early as 1997, the government wanted to prepare for it. Many people worried about applications that could only handle 20th century dates beginning with 19. How would these programs handle newfangled 21st century dates starting with 20? The county wasn't waiting to find out.
"There were several systems that needed to be upgraded for Y2K, and we came to the realization here at the county that, rather than try to upgrade these, in some cases, nearly 15-year-old systems, maybe it would be more cost-effective to upgrade to an ERP system, which really consolidates things and integrates things," said Jim Hicks, principle IT analyst for the operations server support department within the OCIT.
According to Craig Rader, a Sacramento County purchasing agent, the county purchased the system in 1997 and implemented the first phase, which included financial, purchasing and inventory, in July 1998. Following that, the HR module was deployed in January 1999. Since the 1990s, the county has

For Holocaust Survivor, Hesed Alleviates Struggle of Daily Life
Varlen, 82, can still remember the power of the Nazi's boot kicking his side before he was sent into forced labor for the German war machine. He was only 13, but his experiences in German-occupied Kiev transformed his adolescence into a daily battle for survival that he still recounts in vivid detail.
He recalls people anxiously fleeing their homes at the outset of the war as onlookers called them deserters. He shares haunting memories of classmates from his Jewish school leaving for Babi Yar—never to return. And after poverty set in, he explains how he made his way to the market with his father's shoes to barter for a bag of potatoes. For a child born into a family of Russian filmmakers, who grew up on sets absorbed in the magic of moviemaking, the images are still all too real.
"Our family didn't evacuate the city because we were waiting for my father, who was taken by the Gestapo. But, of course, he never returned. My mom was forced to work until she grew sick. I remained in Kiev, in the care of by my grandmother, until 1943."
That's when the Germans picked him up off the street and sent him to work, first within the city and later to Chelm, Poland. He escaped while out collecting firewood and hid in the forest until he was able to make his way back home.
By then the family's house had been burned to the ground; his mother and grandmother (who were hidden by gentiles) had managed to survive.
"I never thought I would live to age 82. To have lived through occupation still seems unbelievable because of how vicious those times were," he says.
Today his life is a very different kind of struggle. After a 40-year-long career in safety and risk assessment at a Soviet aviation plant, Varlen had hoped for a pension that would allow him to live out his old age with security and dignity. But the collapse of the Soviet Union left pensioners in far more precarious circumstances.
Like thousands of elderly Jews in Ukraine and throughout the former Soviet Union, Varlen relies on JDC's Hesed social welfare programs for the vital services and material support that help him stretch his modest pension to the end of each month. These critical services for Holocaust survivors in the former Soviet Union are generously funded by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.
Varlen first heard about the Kiev Hesed from his neighbors—fellow Jews in his strong, close-knit community who always celebrate the holidays together and are also part of the Hesed network. When his wife broke her hip and became bedbound, he turned to the Hesed for help taking care of her. "I got medical aid, diapers, and everything I needed to ensure her comfort," he says.
With Hesed assistance he took care of her for nine years before she passed away several years ago. In the living room corner of the home they shared for 55 years, he keeps a portrait of her with fresh flowers beside it to maintain her memory.
Today Varlen depends on Hesed for his own well-being—services like home care, subsidized medication, and a special debit card for purchasing food at his local supermarket.
"Hesed keeps us alive," Varlen says. "And that means we can be there for one another and remain a community in our old age."

World War I, known at that time as "The Great War," was officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. Not many years after that the Blackburn-Axelson Post number 29 of the American Legion was established in this area. It has been in existence since that time.
There have been a great many men and women from this area that have served their country during that, War to End All Wars, and since then, in various branches of the service. Many of them involved in wars and services all over the world. Some that never returned home. The American Legion has been a very important organization helping veterans and their families over many years.
This American Legion Post has been active for more than 80 years, providing honorary service at funerals, parades and many other activities. The Post is still available and willing to help in any way. However, over the past few years, the number of Legion members has declined as has the other activities that are expected from the American Legion. It would be very sad if our Post dwindled to non-existence.
There is a possibility now of getting some new automatic rifles that could be used at funerals and other activities. Before the paperwork can be done, the Post's viability must be certain. The Post must remain active.
There is a meeting scheduled on June 2 at 7 p.m. in the Orangeville City Hall. All veterans, old and young, are encouraged to attend this important meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the Legion, the services it provides, what the future holds for the Legion, and how to keep this Post active. This is very important to this area. Try to attend this meeting.
Undoubtedly, there are many veterans in Orangeville and the surrounding area. Take the time to notify any veteran of this meeting and encourage them to attend.

Hixsept Stranger Hand Bleached Jeans are setting a new standard for standing out in men's denim (and forget about embellishments. Forget they ever, ever existed). These hand-bleached raw selvedge jeans are one of a kind due to the nature of their individual modification. We love a good DIY. But as Selectism so accurately reminds us, "Of course, you could use your own hands and a bucket of bleach on a pair of your own jeans, but the odds seem incredibly slim that you would be able to forge bleach spots that look like exploding nebula".

This event has already occurred — The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree will be lit by Speaker of the House John A. Boehner during a ceremony on Tuesday, December 3, on the Capitol's West Front lawn beginning at 5 p.m. Architect of the Capitol Stephen T. Ayers, FAIA, LEED AP, will serve as master of ceremonies.
This year's tree is an Engelmann spruce from the Newport Ranger District of the Colville National Forest in Washington State. It was harvested on November 1, and is currently traveling from Washington across the country; making stops in 22 communities along the way.
After it arrives at the U.S. Capitol and is secured in the ground, the tree will be decorated with thousands of ornaments, handcrafted by Washingtonians to reflect this year's theme, "Sharing Washington's Good Nature," which highlights the state's historical, cultural, and natural beauty.
The Capitol Christmas Tree has been a tradition at the U.S. Capitol since 1964. The tree will be lit from night fall until 11 p.m. each evening through January 1, 2014.

Star Trek: Federation
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Star Trek: Federation was an undeveloped Star Trek spin-off to be produced by Bryan Singer. Set in the year 3000, the show was to chronicle a period of decline and rebirth for the United Federation of Planets, spearheaded by a crew on a new USS Enterprise.
"Utopia as a goal is like the fire in a nuclear engine. Utopia in practice is stagnation; it's dry rot; eventually it's death. Which is precisely where we find the United Federation of Planets a few centuries after the last Age of Discovery."
Humanity has become complacent, and many worlds have left the Federation because of its Human-centric nature. Starfleet is stretched thin and many of its ships are outdated. A new enemy called the Scourge attack and destroy the USS Sojourner and two colony worlds. The only survivor is Lieutenant Commander Alexander Kirk. The authorities refuse to believe his story, which cause Vulcan, Bajor, and Betazed to leave in disgust at the corruption of the UFP, leaving it with only twenty systems under its control.
The Ferengi become the dominant power in the galaxy, and make money by spreading the Bajoran religion and making Bajor into a major place of pilgrimage. The Vulcans reunify with the Romulans. The Cardassian and Klingon societies have evolved into more mystical and less warlike cultures, though the Klingon Empire is expanding once more (but they are still on good terms with the Federation).
Admiral Nelscott commissions a new USS Enterprise to return the Federation to its goal of going boldly, but with the ulterior objective of finding the Scourge. After its captain and first officer are killed, Commander Kirk (third-in-command) is promoted to captain of a crew of four hundred.
After the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005, Singer, writer Christopher McQuarrie, and producer Robert Meyer Burnett met in December of that year and discussed their mutual desire to create a new televised iteration of the Star Trek series.
They brought in novelist and screenwriter Geoffrey Thorne who conceived and wrote a 25-page series proposal. It detailed the era of the show, the eight primary characters, and outlines of the first four episodes (which resolve the Scourge crisis but lead into another one with the Klingons). Appendices are included, discussing the Enterprise's new technology (including a singularity engine and cloaking device) and using CG environments for parts of the ship.
McQuarrie and Singer were to write and direct the pilot, with Burnett to produce alongside Singer's Bad Hat Harry Productions, similar to Singer's arrangement on House. The proposal was completed in 2006 and sent to Singer (who was in post-production on Superman Returns). While refining it for a pitch later in the year, in April Paramount announced development of Star Trek with J.J. Abrams, and the proposal was never given to the studio.
