They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved.

Testing with OCEP Shell
By alexalves on Apr 26, 2012
OCEP Shell
The OCEP shell is a new profile of the OCEP server 11g PS5 that has been created to facilitate the testing of OCEP applications.
To enable this profile, you need to unzip OCEP Shell to the modules directory of your domain.
For example, if you are using the default domain that comes with the product installation at Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ocep_domain/defaultserver, you would unzip the referenced file so that the content of defaultserver/modules becomes:
Start the server as usual, and you will get a shell prompt, as follows (in a Unix environment):
<Mar 13, 2012 8:02:16 AM BRT> <Notice> <Server> <BEA-2046000> <Server STARTED>
Oracle CEP Shell (using Apache Felix Gogo)
The OCEP shell uses Apache Felix Gogo shell. Please, take a quick look at Gogo's documentation before proceeding. It can be found at: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-gogo.html .Felix Gogo is based upon OSGi RFC 147, which provides a standard shell command prompt for OSGi frameworks.
Using the OCEP shell, you can invoke commands to test, and manage the OCEP server, as well as to test and manage the OSGi framework itself. The commands are organized in categories, named by a prefix. You can get a list of all commands and their categories by invoking the help command. Currently, the following categories of commands are supported:
epn, felix, gogo, mngt, obr
In the next section, we take a look at how to create a simple EPN containing CQL queries for testing.
EPN Commands
We start by creating a new EPN session. You can think of an EPN session as a stand-alone EPN that can be manipulated dynamically. When you are done, you can simply end the session, and create a new one if we want to test different things.
You begin a session by invoking the command:
shell> begin
Because the command begin is unique across all categories, you can omit the epn prefix. You can get descriptive help for a command by invoking help <command>, such as in the following example:
shell> help begin
begin - Begins new session for invoking EPN commands
scope: epn
By default, an EPN session has an implicit CQL processor that is connected to an event sink that prints all outputs to the shell console. So all we need to do to test CQL queries is to create an input channel, define the queries, and send events.
The following example does this:
channel MyChannel [msg=String]
query "select * from MyChannel"
send MyChannel [msg='Hi']
The result is:
1:19:39 PM -> insert event: msg=Hi
The channel command creates a channel named "MyChannel", whose event-type has a single event property named msg of type String. You could also have specified a Java Class name as the event-type name.
The query command registers the query "select * from MyChannel" in the session's implicit CQL processor. You can remove the query by using the remove command.
The send command dispatches an insert event to a channel. If the session only has a single channel, then the name of the channel is optional. In other words, for this particular example, the following two commands would be equivalent: "send MyChannel [msg='Hi']" and "send [msg='Hi']".
As it should be obvious from the Gogo documentation, the syntax "[msg='Hi']" creates a map containing a single key-value pair, whose key is "msg" and value is "Hi". This matches with the event-type we created previously while defining the channel.
Further, you can use the update command and the delete command to respectively send an update event and a delete event to a relation-based channel. The insert command is equivalent to the send command.
Finally, you can check the current registered statements in a session with the statement command. Likewise, you can find out the channels you have created in a session with the channels command. Finally, the eventtypes commands allows you to find out the structure of all the event-types currently in the server.
And that's it, by running these simple set of commands, you can fully construct an EPN and try out CQL statements on the fly. In the next section, we take a look at how to manage the OCEP server and to test an existing OCEP application using the OCEP shell.
Management Commands
In this section, we take a look at the management category of commands. Let's start by finding out all the deployed OCEP applications in the running server. You can do this by invoking the command mngt:listapps. Here is an example:
shell> listapps
Further, you can list all the OCEP libraries using the command listlibs:
shell> listlibs
Noticed how this command lists all the bundles we have unzipped in the modules directory to run the OCEP shell.
Next, you can install a new application using the deployapp <URL> command:
shell> deployapp file:///Users/ocepapps/helloworld.jar
The application is deployed and started immediately, as if it had been deployed by using the Visualizer management web-console. Conversely, you can un-deploy an application by invoking the command undeployapp.
You can send events to an existing OCEP application by specifying the full name of the channel when using the send, insert, update, and delete commands. For example, to send an event to the helloworldInputChannel in the helloworld application, you should use the name "helloworld:helloworldInputChannel", as in the following example:
shell> event1 = createevent HelloWorldEvent
shell> $event1 message "Hi Shell!"
shell> send helloworld:helloworldInputChannel $event1
First, we create an event instance of the event type HelloWorldEvent. This is accomplished using the createevent command. Next, we populate the event with the value "Hi Shell!", and then send it using the send command.
There is one caveat, the channel must have been advertised, otherwise the shell won't be able to find it, so make sure that the advertise attribute is set to true in the application's EPN assembly, as follows:
<wlevs:channel id="helloworldInputChannel"
event-type="HelloWorldEvent" advertise="true" >
You can also subscribe to receive events from a channel. You can do this using the subscribe command. The events subscribed will be send either to the shell console or to a file, if a file-name is specified. For example, the following command subscribes to all output from the helloworld application:
shell> subscribe helloworld:helloworldOutputChannel
As in the previous case, make sure that the channel being subscribed has also been advertised.
You can use the introspect command to list all the stages that are public, that is, have been advertised, in an application. The following example shows the result you get when invoking the introspect command in the out-of-the-box helloworld application:
shell> introspect helloworld
Application 'helloworld' provides the following OCEP services:
Event Channel 'helloworldOutputChannel' for Event Type 'HelloWorldEvent'
Using the Gogo shell facilities you can retrieve any OSGi service and invoke standard Java methods. In addition, the OCEP shell adds the mbean command that allows you to retrieve a EPN JMX MBean and invoke its operations. In the following example, we retrieve the CQLProcessorMBean for the helloworld processor, and invoke its operation "getAllQueries".
shell> proc = mbean helloworld:helloworldProcessor CQLProcessor
shell> $proc allQueries
select * from helloworldInputChannel
The OCEP server exposes a rich set of JMX operations, which can now be easily tested and manipulated using the mbean command.
Finally, when you are all done, you can invoke the shutdown command to stop the shell and the OCEP server.
Regression Testing
The OCEP shell facilitates the testing of OCEP applications. The next step is to be able to automate this process. This can be done by running the OCEP shell head-less using scripts. For example, consider the following script, named send-event.ocep:
channel -a [a=Long]
query "select * from ch0"
send 0 [a=1]
send 1 [a=2]
You can execute this script by specifying the gosh.args system property. To do this, edit the last line of the startwlevs.sh file (startwlevs.cmd in Windows), as in the following example:
"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -Dgosh.args=send-event.ocep $JVM_ARGS $DEBUG_ARGS -Dwlevs.home="$USER_INSTALL_DIR" -Dbea.home="$BEA_HOME" -jar "${USER_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/wlevs.jar" $ARGS
One approach is to have a test-driver script that invokes other scripts and directs their output, as in this example:
source send-event.ocep | tac test-output/log/send-event.out
source test-delete.ocep | tac test-output/log/test-delete.out
The OCEP shell provides a quick and easy way to prototype, test, and regression test OCEP applications, EPN assemblies, and CQL queries.
Just keep in mind that the OCEP shell is currently a technology preview for Oracle CEP 11g PS5. We will keep improving it, so please send us your feedback! Enjoy.


text: Jack Daniel's is not considered a bourbon because it is charcoal-mellowed -- slowly, drop by drop, filtered through sugar-maple charcoal -- prior to aging, which many experts say gives it a different character. The process, called the Lincoln County Process, infuses a sweet and sooty character into the distillate as it removes impurities. But up to and after the charcoal filtering, the Jack Daniel's production is much the same as any other Bourbon. Jack Daniel's and George Dickel are two fine Tennessee Whiskeys though neither can be called bourbon.

i really want to watch but i dont no the release date or has it already been released
Dattebayo stated that they will sub the movie about 1 year after its release(In Theaters). Around that time the DVD for the movie will be released, therefore guaranteeing high quality fansubs.
dattebayo fansubs, LLC
well the first movie came out in december, and the dvd came out in fall( dont remember month). So since the 2nd movie also came out in december we can expect to see the same timeline for the 2nd dvd. and when that come out in fall (probably) then a sub will emerge probably a week or so later.
my guess: early 2009 or late 2008
Sigs and Ava by Ravona
i read that the movie is released September 2nd, so it should be subbed quickly thereafter. But not sure where i read it so it may not be reliable.
dattebayo released the diamond dust rebellion 6 days ago.
[db] bleach movie 2 is what it is called
are we on about 2 or 3... is there a 3? LOL

Reef Leather Smoothy Sandal
"Ordered size 5 (men's) = women's 6.Note: These are men's sandals so they are cut wider and have wider straps...Wore these for about an hour and felt the right sandal to have lumps. Upon close inspection (photo reference), the leather was peeling on the back and the ball area. I plan to exchange these and hope this pair was just defective. The wide strap is not the most flattering, but comfort was my main concern. I plan to wear these just to slip-on for running errands/long walks."Smooth"y leather!"

John Donovan, Sanjay Macwan, and Jacob Feinstein of AT&T detail how the API program is a driver of speed in their innovation efforts.
Navigating the far-flung functional, organizational, and technical structure to bring new ideas to any large company can be slow and confounding. For a company the size of AT&T, this had the potential to create lengthy delays for developers seeking to test innovations against the network. Today, external innovators and developers access much of AT&T's network and other capabilities in a self-service manner, allowing them to bring new offerings to market three times faster than before.
This new speed is central to AT&T's innovation strategy. Whether ideas are generated internally or co-created with outside innovators, AT&T wants to match the pace at which the market is changing and innovating—particularly around mobile and cloud technologies.
"If you have infrastructure assets and are going to operate at a pace at which the external market is moving, you have to take capabilities—industry-specific or not—and make platforms from them. And then make them easy to address," says John Donovan, senior executive vice president of technology and network operations at AT&T.
The emphasis on speed extends beyond technology. Startups participate in "speed dating" sessions with AT&T executives, a fast-paced 20 minutes in which they have a deal or an understanding of why not. "We always have some of our top decision makers in the room—not just the technology leadership, but our business unit leaders, chief marketing officers for enterprise and consumer, and others. Because the key decision makers are listening to the pitch at the same time, we can decide whether to move forward immediately after the speed dating session," says Sanjay Macwan, assistant vice president in the AT&T chief technology office.
In 2011, AT&T met with more than 500 startups, and in early 2012, the company already has met with more than 150 startups. As a result of this outreach, 40 projects are in the works and 11 are deployed commercially, generating revenue for AT&T and its collaborators or delivering new efficiencies that benefit customers.
The underlying enabler to increase the pace of innovation is the company's application programming interface (API) program. By opening up core horizontal and vertical capabilities through RESTful public APIs, AT&T has established a digital platform that drives an ecosystem of network-centric services. "It is an architectural choice one makes for speed," Donovan says.
When a company has the size and scale of AT&T, speed is not easy or a given. The API program removes organizational, functional, and technical barriers to accessing AT&T's network and information assets. Extensive documentation, sample code, immediate access to RESTful APIs, and sandboxes for testing are some of the features that reduce the friction for a thriving ecosystem of developers and innovators.
Consider the case of SundaySky, a company AT&T chose to work with after a speed dating session. Telecom bills can be difficult to understand for some customers, particularly when they start or change services. AT&T's billing system has more than 1,000 elements. Confusion stemming from a bill leads to high call volume to customer care. Using AT&T's billing API, SundaySky created a service that dynamically builds a custom video to address customers by name and walk them through their bills. In a trial of new subscribers for the IPTV service (U-verse), the call volume to customer care dropped by 20 percent among customers who had access to the video review service developed at the AT&T innovation center with SundaySky.
The result is a three-way win: cost savings from fewer or shorter calls into customer care for AT&T, new revenue opportunity for SundaySky, and increased satisfaction for the customer. AT&T and SundaySky co-created a solution facilitated by the transparency and ease of programming to the billing API. Without that, such an endeavor might have taken too long.
AT&T has opened up several categories of RESTful APIs so far and processes about 4.5 billion API calls every month. AT&T has an aggressive road map to open new APIs across several service categories. This plan makes the network an intrinsic part of an innovation ecosystem and gives AT&T an opportunity for new monetization by serving consumers and business customers.
Ultimately, the goal of an API program is to make internal capabilities addressable by others. "Many people think API equals open and open equals free; that's not the case at all. What is needed is a thoughtful architecture that allows you to take layers above and below your platform, and make them modular and addressable," Donovan says. AT&T's goal is to make its network the most addressable network globally.
With APIs making capabilities addressable, the network becomes a platform that accrues many advantages. Developers save time and resources and build on top of AT&T's assets instead of investing in network and telecom equipment themselves. A platform approach positions legacy assets for the future by abstracting and combining them to increase their relevance to emerging trends in cloud, mobile, and social technologies. "APIs give you the ability to better manage the legacy environment and future-proof them," Donovan says.
A well-executed API program reorganizes capabilities to establish consistency and ease of use. It makes an organization's internal knowledge accessible in a semantically consistent manner. "APIs simplify things architecturally and create a better story and capabilities for the developers by having a common taxonomy," says Jacob Feinstein, executive director of new technology. "If you have a more educated community, they'll think of new things that they might do with the network that they wouldn't have thought of doing."
The platform strategy extends beyond the network assets. "Our APIs cut across capabilities such as payment, device characteristics, location, messaging, speech recognition, and others," Macwan says. "Any developers who want to embed speech recognition in their services can just call a speech API to access our speech engine."
"Most of the things we do are candidates for the new architecture," Donovan says.
Donovan cautions against the common notion that APIs are for giving away data free just to be nice. That thinking limits the internal potential of APIs. "The use of APIs and their impact is not just for outreach to the external developer community. It changes how you operate," he explains. "You literally put APIs everywhere. That's how you do internal development, that's how the IT shop works, that's how your provider should do development for you, that's how your offshore stuff lands into your environment, and that's how you build services."
AT&T is changing on the inside, too, as a result of the API program. The thinking and architecture the program represents are seeping deeper into company operations. Many teams now understand the change in thinking the API architecture requires. "People are applying an API lens whether they're in the labs, the network teams, or what traditionally have been finished product groups. They offer an API-centric view of their work," Feinstein says. As these diverse groups think about ways to support the API program, they reconstitute their work in a more modular, fungible, and co-creation–centric manner.
As a result, APIs are increasingly coming from all parts of the organization and not just from the API program group. The consumer marketing organization, the enterprise marketing organization, the product organization, and the emerging devices organization feed the API pipeline. Teams are also proposing APIs out of the gate with new solutions, including teams from AT&T's network equipment providers. "APIs are being thought of at the outset, and they influence the early ideation around network release and road map planning. Now we actively look at what the API opportunities are as we roll out each next generation of network technology," Feinstein says.
Speed is also a function of an organization's operating model. "We're pivoting toward thinking about architecting everything we do in a more API-centric way," Feinstein adds. APIs impose modular thinking on the enterprise. They have allowed AT&T to reconstitute its capabilities and assets in modular chunks with stable interfaces. They have digitized the operations that take place around the company's network and the value-added services it delivers. Being digital, these capabilities are easier to engage with and now operate at a faster pace with a large number of partners.
Despite the size and scale of its infrastructure and operations, the architecture changes enabled by API thinking, API technology, and an API platform strategy can have a real impact on innovation, growth, and the AT&T bottom line. "We're getting faster, and one result is that the architecture is shifting to one that allows more partnerships. You'll see us do more technology partnerships and move faster, both at the pace of the market and in terms of innovating on our own. There will be efficiency benefits as well," Donovan says.
His advice on how to think about APIs: "Operate under one principle and then architect around it; ours was speed."

Emery High School held their graduation commencement exercises on May 23 at 7 p.m. at the Spartan Center. Conducting the pledge of allegiance was Brindi Bowden. Allison Wells sang, "One Great Nation." Following the song, Brindi Bowden, senior class president, welcomed the students, faculty, staff and many friends and family.
Abe Bawden, student body president announced the 2001-2002 Teacher of the Year award. He stated, "some of us might know him better by some of his favorite sayings, 'you can't graduate Emery High if you don't attend Emery High,' and 'meanwhile back at the ranch.'" James R. Nelson was presented this award with a Emery High quilt.
The salutatory address was given by Larissa Larsen. She talked about the famous story of the little engine that could. The more the little engine went his attitude changed from "I think I can, I think I can ,to I know I can I know I can." She stated "we are in charge of our own attitude." She ended her speech by saying, "attitude is everything."
The next speaker was Ashlee Allred. Her honor address was called "what dreams may come." Ashlee spoke of the importance of friends and the influence they have on our lives. "Friendship is our greatest gift," said Allred.
Kimberly Sitterud was the next honor speaker. Kim told how they need to take their goals with them on their journey. "The smallest and newest goals aspire us to new heights," said Sitterud. "We made it," were her last words. A musical number was then sung by the senior chamber choir members, titled "The Prayer." Following the musical number honored speaker Nathan Allred spoke of how all their life they strive for victory. "This class will have to earn the right job and college degree. We are going to a new chapter in our lives and we will go towards our greatest victory", stated Allred.
Mary Farr spoke after as a honored speaker. She related the class to little turtles that had just hatched. They can barely see the oceans path. They will each take different paths. But to never be afraid to fail just learn from it and move on. She wished the class all the luck in the future.
The valedictory address was given by Kody Powell. His speech was titled, "Facing the Future." Kody spoke of how everything they do effects their future. "The choices we make today will effect our lives tomorrow," said Powell.
The presentation of the senior was given by Principal, Gwen Callahan. The acceptance of the seniors was then given by Laurel Johansen. Marie Guymon Johnson and Laurel Johansen awarded the diplomas to the seniors.
The class of 2002 ended their commencement exercises by singing the class song, "Halls of Emery."
They then placed their graduating tassel on the opposite side and tossed their hats with excitement. Friends and family then gathered to the Spartan floor and congratulated the new graduates.
Green River High School held their commencement exercises on May 23 at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. Kevin Keele, class president, welcomed the audience to the graduation. He said the senior class will be donating the money that is left over in their senior fund to the trophy fund to help with the purchase of a new trophy case. He said, "Our only limit is our doubt, we need to move forward with faith and stand tall. We are somebody. We can be like a tree and bring forth fruit and prosperity and friendship. Friends are a gift," said Keele.
The next speaker was class Salutatorian, Rachel Wilske. She said, "Tonight we will receive our diplomas, what we do with the training we've received will be up to us. Success is ours; if we shoot for the moon and miss at least we will touch the stars. You can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. You must do your best because you never know what the wind might blow your way," said Wilske.
The next speaker was class Valedictorian, Amber Watterson. She said, "I can't believe it has been 13 years since we started school. The world is ours to conquer if we work together. We will all do different things as we go out to conquer the world and will have different experiences. These experiences will be like a knife, they will help us or hurt us depending on if we grab the handle or the blade. We are as pieces of clay that have been molded and changed. You have the ticket, you are a winner. Explore your dreams and mold the future. Focus on that dream and it will guide you. Take the road less traveled, it is important to look far down the path. Pick up the knife. In the end taking the road less traveled could make all the difference," said Watterson.
A slide show was presented next of all the graduates. The show included pictures of all the students as they have gone through their school years. The presentation was prepared by Stan Parsons, class advisor.
Denice Hoffman was next on the program as the guest speaker. She said, "Respect each other's diversity. This is a diverse group with many different talents and interests as the pictures of them has just shown. Live life to the fullest, none of you can be replaced. You are unique. Do what you love and you'll love what you do. Treasure your family and friends and never leave with anger. As I've traveled around with my job, I've come to realize not every child has what you have here in Green River. You have grown up with love and support. Your community has taken pride in what you have done.
"Life is a gift. There are hopes and dreams within us," said Hoffman. She went on to tell the story of Charles Schultz the creator of the Charlie Brown cartoon. He started out as a child nobody noticed who didn't have many successes. But he believed he was an artist although he had been rejected many times. "Believe in yourselves and the world will be your classroom. Earn enough for your needs, but not for your greed. Take action and do something even if it seems impossible," she said. Hoffman also told the story of Jimmy Yen whose goal was to teach all of the common people in China to read and write.
Principal Nolan Johnson presented the seniors for graduation. Kirk Sitterud, superintendent of the Emery District and Royd Hatt, school board member presented the diplomas to the graduates.
The graduates cheered and threw their hats into the audience and then proceeded outside by the building where they were congratulated by parents, teachers and friends. The graduates for 2002 are: Shawn Brady, Steven Burnett, Brittany Burr, Nick Erwin, Brad Ford, Brandi Fort, Kevin Keele, Kody King, Michael Mayall, Kimberly Nelson, Crystal Snow, Amber Watterson and Rachel Wilske.
John Healy, from the forest service was on hand at the Emery County Public Lands Council meeting on May 14. He briefed the council on a possible SITLA land exchange for forest service land in Cottonwood Canyon. This would be exchanged for land in Rock Canyon.
Healy said Mike Crawley, Scott Steinburg and Dennis Peebler have been working on the plan for the use of fire on the forest. Utah has a fire amendment which amended the forest plan on all the forests in the state of Utah. Two years ago an EIS was done on this subject and last year it was approved. The national fire plan has been ongoing and is ready for implementation. Work is being done to amend the forest plan for fire use by developing a criteria around that. We are looking for input, said Healy.
Steinberg said they have been evaluating the current situation on the forest, such as collecting information on live fuel moisture and dead fuel moisture. "Large fires are occurring south of us at the current time. We expect this to be an active fire year." Steinberg went on to explain that when the forest service dips water for fire suppression they are obligated to reimburse or replace this water. All water belongs to the state of Utah.
It was pointed out that current conditions show not much spring growth in the low country where the drought is hitting the hardest. The higher country looks better.
Steinberg explained they are looking at a long term fire plan and will spend at least two years looking at how to deal with fire. "Last year was a critical fire year and there were fatalities and a lot of money spent," he said. A fire management policy is being put together. A plan to be used as a backbone, a little different way to look at fire. Upon an ignition of a fire either natural or man-made, the plan was to suppress it. "We will look at whether that fire might be beneficial for the burning of fuels. Those benefits have not been looked at. A wildland management policy gives the option to implement fire for resource benefits. This is a prescribed fire. The forest service is legally obligated to suppress all man-made fires because humans start fires in bad places which can turn into a big fire really quickly."
Steinberg said they are looking to come up with an area of Emery County for proposed fire use acres. Another member of the forest service team pointed out the different criteria to be looked at in these areas such as their distance from private land and areas where no private assets are concerned. Also areas where the fuel supply is not continuous so to keep the fire in the identified area. He also pointed out that these fires would not go unsupervised that people would be on hand. These types of fires will also be put out if it is determined they are doing more harm than good.
Dennis Worwood, chairman of the lands council saw the crawling fires as a good way to clean up the forest. If the areas were picked and chosen, money could be saved and there would be a better outcome. Many people he said have expressed concern to him about 'let it burn policies.' Steinberg said that is not their intent and they will be working within guidelines for looking at fire behavior and working with fuel moisture. He said they have contacted permittees to let them know it is not the forest service's intent to take out anyone's allotment. This fire plan would be implemented in isolated areas.
Steinberg sees this year as a training year for the implementation of this plan. There wouldn't be more than one fire in one area at any time. They plan a limited start to bring people along; the forest service as well as the public. He also said the areas would be closed to the public while the fire was in process; but he didn't see the fires as high intensity fires. "We will keep the public informed," he said.
Healy pointed out they are trying to develop prescriptions to work within and get input on concerns. This input criteria will be put into form. The forest service will also report back to the lands council on the prescription and bring it back for review.
The issue of the burn season usually being in the fall when the hunting seasons are going on was brought up. It was explained that the burns begin when conditions are ready. Such as temperatures, humidity and other factors. Val Payne from the lands council pointed out the need to inform the public as to what defines the burn window.
The forest service personnel present saw the need for taking a more active approach in getting the information to the public to explain fire history and the role of fire. Commissioner Drew Sitterud also suggested that the forest service take the prescription to the RAC board to explain the policy to them as it deals with sportsmen and wildlife. The forest service agreed that the educating of the public will be instrumental in implementing the plan.
Although the Farm Bureau supported the May 8 congressional adoption of the farm bill, UFBF President Leland Hogan expressed Farm Bureau's great disappointment in the Senate-removed emergency assistance program previously adopted by the House of Representatives.
"With much of the nation facing unprecedented drought - including Utah, it is essential that there be emergency assistance for lost crops and livestock range and pasture land feed," Hogan said. "If this doesn't happen, much of our livestock breeding stock will be lost. Already, early data show the nation will harvest the lowest wheat crop in years."
Hogan said that Farm Bureau is joining with other national agricultural organizations to support a $2.3 billion emergency agricultural assistance amendment to the FY2002 Supplemental Appropriations bill. The emergency agricultural assistance provision would provide support for income losses in 2001 and payments to eligible livestock producers who suffered losses due to natural disaster. The separate bill would make $4,825,000 available in Utah for the Livestock Assistance Program and $900,000 available for disaster assistance.
Beyond the initial emergency assistance disappointment, Hogan noted Farm Bureau was pleased with other aspects of the farm bill that will significantly impact local farmers and ranchers:
� Loan rates and direct payments for corn, sorghum, barley, oats and wheat are higher and will be a better safety net for producers in Utah.
� Authority for loan deficiency payments on grazed wheat, oats, barley and triticale will be helpful for Utah livestock producers.
� The permanent $9.90 Milk Price Support Program will be particularly beneficial to Utah dairymen.
� Marketing loans or deficiency payments based on a loan rate of $1 per pound for graded wool and $ .40 per pound for non-graded wool is a significant victory for Utah wool growers.
� An increase of 2.8 million acres in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will provide more help to Utah farmers and ranchers.
� A $200 million annual increase to the Market Access Program will allow Utah producers to secure more foreign agricultural markets.
Hogan also noted that the $190 billion farm bill is authorized over the next 10 years. Subsequent budget reconciliation will follow, however there is a provision written into the bill to pay for some 2002 program costs without waiting for budget reconciliation. The farm bill does not include the billions of dollars spent on school lunch programs, WIC, Meals on Wheels, etc., although those consumer programs are charged to the U.S. Department of Agriculture budget.
Bill Broadbear from the forest service was on hand at the Emery County Public Lands Council meeting on May 14 with an update on the Arapeen Trail system. He reported that the maps have been printed and are now available at the forest service offices in Ephraim, Ferron and Price.
He said they have been working on the project for 18 months now. They wanted a map to match what is on the ground. He pointed out the forest service travel map which has been around between 15-17 years is still the forest travel plan. The Arapeen Trail map features opportunities for ATV use. By doing this they hope to focus ATV use on the loops available. The Arapeen map focuses on trails around Potters Pond and south of there. Project coordinators spent six months developing and implementing a signing system.
Broadbear said work still needs to be done on trail head areas. "The signs feature trail guidelines and rules like respecting property. All trail heads will be marked with a bulletin board. The signs are all in tune with what is on the map. We borrowed the idea from the Piute trail system. The signs will help with educating the OHV users. They deal with rider etiquette, yielding to other riders, leaving wildlife alone and other information.
"This is our best shot for now. We expect changes and corrections will occur on an annual basis and it will probably be an annual printing. We expect feedback from various users and we would like to hear from them. As people use it we hope to develop a better trail system and a better product," said Broadbear.
Broadbear has training planned for forest service office employees on the use of the map. Seasonal workers will also be out on the trails giving out maps and educating the public.

The Branch of Fire and Aviation is also responsible for managing the Montana/Dakotas' aviation program. The aviation program supports all fixed wing and rotor-wing mission profiles that encompass both wildland fire and fuels management. The program also supports various resource programs including wild horses, range management, recreation, law enforcement, and oil and gas.
In some instances, other agencies provide wildland fire protection on BLM-administered public lands. This is done
The BLM's professional fire management staff not only provides wildland firefighting for resource protection but also consists of an active fuels management and prescribed fire program. These programs use prescribed fire and mechanical methods as a resource management "tool" to protect our natural resources and communities, reduce the negative impacts of unplanned wildland fire, and improve the health of the land.
In addition, the Branch of Fire and Aviation is also very active in providing community assistance and protection services. The community assistance and protection program focuses on mitigation, prevention, education, and outreach. The mitigation/prevention experts address reduction of wildland fire threats and losses to communities and natural resources by taking actions before a fire starts.
Whether you're looking for a job or just looking for more information, you've come to the right place!
Mission Statement
The Montana / Dakotas BLM Fire Program will promote a highly reliable and safety oriented culture in order to further the agency mission and serve the public interest through the application of sound fire management practices, personal and professional accountability, and mutual support.

Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Illinois Department of Natural Resources held an informational meeting Friday for local governing bodies participating in the federal buyout of chronic flood prone properties.
All those attending have applications submitted to buy flood prone properties as part of the damage prevention process.
The structures on these lands are subject to frequent flooding. The goal is to remove these structures so as to lessen that damage from repeat flooding. Repairing the damage from repeat flooding is expensive and clearing the land saves money said.
Allan C. Ninness, director, Emergency Management Agency Saline County.
"The two state agencies were sharing information with participating parties.
Present at the meeting were Jackson County (by phone), City of Metropolis, Ridgway, Junction, Gallatin County, City of Harrisburg and Saline County, Saline County Emergency Management and Gallatin County Emergency Management.
Jackson County participated by telephone.
Representing IDNR was Warren Wovig and Paul Osman. Representing IEMA was Ron Davis.
"One thing that was pointed out was that local entities need not use their own tax money to purchase and clear these lands," said Ninness. "The fed provides 75 percent and the state provides 25 percent. Local entities can provide 25 percent if they choose," Ninness said.
Harrisburg City County in February decided not to pursue the purchase of a property on the belief the city was responsible for a portion of the land price, which is not the case.

Analyst Coverage and Two Puzzles in the Cross Section of Returns
Thomas J. George
University of Houston - Department of Finance

Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
January 30, 2013
AFA 2012 Chicago Meetings Paper
We examine a stylized version of Miller's (1977) hypothesis as the explanation of the puzzling ndings of both Chordia, Subrahmanyam and Anshuman (2001) and Ang, Hodrick, Xing and Zhang (2006). Identifying stocks that are prone to disagreement by using low analyst coverage produces results that are strongly consistent with the model's predictions.
The low returns to high return volatility stocks are corrections of optimistic mispricing that arises because information arrivals generate disagreement among traders. Disagreement also implies a negative relation between returns and shocks to trading volume. The abnormal returns to a trading strategy based on idiosyncratic return volatility are explained by the returns to a strategy based on turnover volatility, suggesting that the same economic forces underlie both relations as the model predicts.

Lambert painted this full-length, life-sized portrait in London, posing his subject in a shallow space in an enclosed interior before an ornate wardrobe.
The subject wears an old dress, from the early-Victorian era. She is 'dressing up' and posing for the painting. Her facial expression is pleasantly bland, and Lambert may have intentionally sought to reduce the importance of her facial expression.
At this time many Edwardian artists depicted intimate interiors, some showing comfortable drawing rooms with women or girls sitting reading or in quiet contemplation, focused on their own purposes, while others showed everyday scenes of women (frequently nude) carrying out their daily toilette . Lambert followed these artists in placing his subject indoors, but differed from them in presenting her posing in a somewhat artificial manner rather than in a relaxed, natural situation.
Lambert, like other Edwardian artists, was interested in costume and in making reference to the paintings of earlier artists in his work. He emphasised the theatricality of the scene by referring to the dress in the title.
In painting this study in white, grey, grey-green and black, Lambert may have been influenced by Whistler's Harmony in grey and green: Miss Cicely Alexander 1872–74 (Tate, London), which had been exhibited in Whistler's 'Memorial exhibition' at the New Gallery, London, in 1905. Like Miss Alexander, Lambert's model is dressed in a tiered white dress and shown turned in three-quarter view, with her hands by her sides. Here, instead of the grey wall with black dado in Whistler's painting, Lambert has used the furniture to provide a kind of decorative frieze.

Comedian and Emmy nominated actor Chambers Stevens has a file full of anecdotes from 40 years in show business and will premiere his latest one-man show, "Close Encounters of the Celebrity Kind," at the Logon Café in Beaumont on Oct. 18 and 19.

Final Fantasy 1 translates well to the PSP format which presents the game, which has a long tradition, in a completely new light.
Sony PSP
Final Fantasy I PSP Review.
If you are looking for a game that will boost your ego because you can and you will (!) defeat every monster, fiend, and boss without encountering any real difficulty then this one is definitely for you!
Or you could probably be a novice gamer with high hopes for a game with a great name and backed by millions of fans around the world ready to give their testimonials about how wonderfully epic the series is then this one is definitely for you, too!
Final Fantasy for the PSP has all the fundamentals required for countless hours of mindless game play – mind you it's the 20th anniversary edition – that is just perfect for long field trips or on the way to some relative's house that you don't even know you have. The world of Coneria with its sub par battle strategies and isolated towns make me hate this game a lot. But hey it wouldn't be Final Fantasy if not for those elements, right? It's just that everything has been around for quite some years now that it has gotten to the point that it is actually boring. Do I have to repeat myself for you to get my point?
The Final Fantasy franchise is considered one of gaming industry's must – play items in the market. It is epic by its own means: the characters bring it to life and the storyline will make you crave for the next release. With the FF1, SquareEnix managed to save the reputation of the game by the crisp audio remixes – whether you are in a battle or plainly and simply walking around town hoping to stumble upon some gold – and the visual appeal of the game is hard to deny; I give my word that it looks really great on the Playstation Portable's crystalline screen. I just had to give kudos to Enix for at least maintaining the quality that we are used to from the Final Fantasy series.
Nevertheless, no one will be satisfied long enough to last through the entire game – unless they have no other game in their console – in one sitting. You must first satisfy the brain before you please anything else in the gamer.
