SUGAR GROVE – Two employees of a local pizza restaurant were forced to fight off an irate man who entered the restaurant and attacked a restaurant employee after a disagreement over whether someone else was entitled to a free pizza, according to Sugar Grove Police reports.
Employees at Rosati's Pizza in the 100 block of North Route 47 in Sugar Grove said the incident began Nov. 5, when the restaurant received a telephone call from a woman who claimed to have a receipt that entitled her to a free pizza, according to police reports.
The employee answering the phone, a man, 59, of Glendale Heights, checked the restaurant's computer records and found no such notation, and he declined to give the caller any free food. About five minutes later, an unidentified white male wearing a black shirt entered the restaurant and demanded to know why the restaurant would not give the woman a free pizza, reports said.
The man then jumped onto the counter and grabbed the restaurant employee's shirt and punched him in the face, police said. The employee escaped the man's grasp and attempted to get to a phone to call 911. The man pursued him, prevented him from placing the call, and knocked him to the floor, police said.
At that point, another restaurant employee, a man, 23, of St. Charles, rushed to the front of the restaurant and separated the two men, police said. That employee then fought with the attacker until he was able to push him out the front door. The attacker then drove away in a white full-size Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, the police report said.
Police were then called to the scene, and the employees filed their complaints. The matter remains under investigation, police said, and no arrests have been made.

Lance Armstrong (Team Radioshack) returned to the Tour of Flanders after a four-year hiatus, again on a Trek Madone but one that is a far cry from the one he used back in 2005.
Armstrong's latest 58cm Pro Fit Madone 6 Series frame is essentially identical to the one he usually uses on the road. It has the same tapered front end, directly moulded-in bearing seats at the head tube and bottom bracket, extra wide down tube and chain stay spacing, and novel no-cut integrated seat mast. Internally routed control lines yield a cleaner look but in this case also lend greater protection from contamination, especially in combination with the sealed SRAM Professional System by Gore sealed cable set.
One critical – but very subtle – difference we noted was a few millimetres more tyre clearance up front between the tyre and fork crown in case of mud and Armstrong was reported to be the only Radioshack rider using it today.
When questioned, Trek team liaison Ben Coates was quick to point out that while the Ronde van Vlaanderen-special fork wasn't exactly a consumer item, it "came from stock parts" – presumably using fork tips from another Trek model and apparently said in reference to the UCI technical rule stating that prototype materials can't be used in competition.
Ready to roll
The additional tyre clearance at the fork crown
Additional changes were similarly subtle but otherwise limited to componentry. To help with the unrelentingly pounding cobbles, alloy Bontrager Race Lite handlebars were swapped in for Armstrong's usual carbon fibre Race XXX Lite model, then double wrapped with Bontrager cork tape and cushioned with Bontrager Isogel padding.
24mm-wide Hutchinson tubulars (inflate to just 87/90psi front/rear) are mounted to 50mm-deep Bontrager Aeolus 5.0 carbon rims
Interestingly, Armstrong also chose to run his familiar Bontrager Aeolus 5.0 carbon tubular wheels instead of the aluminium box-section wheels used by his teammates but wrapped around them were the standard-issue 24mm-wide Hutchinson tubulars. Drenchingly wet conditions prior to the start prompted comparatively low 87/90psi front/rear inflation pressures for better traction on the wet cobbles but improving weather may have prompted a change later on.
Armstrong switchwd to Look KéO from Shimano SPD-SL pedals this year
Armstrong recently switched from his long-running Shimano SPD-SL pedals in favour of Look KéO Blades to facilitate emergency bike changes with his otherwise Look-equipped teammates though his drivetrain still displayed a unique spec. Instead of the team-issue PG-1090 PowerDome cassette, Armstrong was using the heavier – but quieter-running – PG-1070 model, along with the revised PC-1090R chain with more aggressive chamfering for reduced noise as used by all SRAM riders in De Ronde.
Armstrong's ride position has changed little from recent years save for some minor saddle adjustment: his height has gone up to 758mm and his setback has decreased to 70mm.
As for the total bike weight, we'd love to tell you but weren't permitted to take a reading on our scale. According to Trek team liaison Ben Coates, the team would prefer that its competition not get more information on its bikes than necessary and also doesn't want its riders to worry if they're right on the cusp of the UCI-mandated 6.8kg limit.
Along those same lines, Team Radioshack seemingly doesn't want the competition to know too much about its riders' physical conditions, either, as we also weren't able to obtain Armstrong's current body weight for our associated rider profile. "I don't have that info," said recently hired team physiologist Allen Lim.
Armstrong says he was here at De Ronde not to vie for the win but rather test himself and his equipment plus learn more about how the peloton behaves on the cobbles in preparation for July's Tour de France. Nevertheless, he always made sure he was safely near the front as usual – even attacking with 50km to go – and did a good job of staying out of trouble, earning a 27th place finish to boot. Not exactly bad for a 'training race', eh?

The most important ingredient for any great wine is the raw materials – the grapes.
Testarossa specializes in limited production Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from some of the state's best known vineyard estates. Our success vintage-to-vintage is based on the long-term relationships we have developed with these outstanding, conscientious winegrowers.
Testarossa has two unique advantages when it comes to the winegrowing side of the equation. The first is Director of Winemaking, Bill Brosseau, who has extensive viticultural experience. Bill works closely with Testarossa's sources, overseeing the year-round lifecycle of the vineyards and managing the individual blocks set aside for the winery. Indeed, this level of commitment and participation has been taken to a new level with the Dos Rubios and Fogstone vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands – where Bill actually determines the planting decisions on the ground. Bill Brosseau's special skill set, combining grape growing with winemaking, gives Testarossa complete quality control – from "soil to the bottle."
Testarossa's other advantages are the winegrowers and vineyard owners themselves. Very few wineries can boast the roster of stellar "names" that appear on a Testarossa Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Vineyards the likes of Pisoni, Garys', Rosella's, Doctor's, Graham Family and Rincon. And long-term partnerships with famed winegrowers such as Gary Pisoni, Gary Franscioni, and the Talley family.
The estates and personalities provide the "terroir," the special sense of place that shines through in every bottle of Testarossa.

DESIGNER THOM FILICIA DECKS RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL FOR THE 2011 RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR SEASON IN HGTV's "RADIO CITY HOLIDAY"
NEW YORK, N.Y.

Images of Gale #8
Context image
During the month of April Mars will be in conjunction relative to the Earth. This means the Sun is in the line-of-sight between Earth and Mars, and communication between the two planets is almost impossible. For conjunction, the rovers and orbiting spacecraft at Mars continue to operate, but do not send the data to Earth. This recorded data will be sent to Earth when Mars moves away from the sun and the line-of-sight between Earth and Mars is reestablished. During conjunction the THEMIS image of the day will be a visual tour of Gale Crater, the location of the newest rover Curiosity.
This image shows the rough terrain just inside the eastern rim of Gale Crater as well as the eastern extent of Mr. Sharp.

'Thor 2′ Star Jaimie Alexander in Talks For 'Batman vs. Superman'? Could She Be the New Wonder Woman?
One of the best parts of the 'Thor' movies is Jaimie Alexander's Sif, one of Thor's female fighting companions who's just as badass as her male counterparts. And while we wait for Marvel to pull the trigger on a female-centric superhero movie, Alexander herself has hinted that she's been talking to Warner Bros. about joining up with their superhero team as well. Could Alexander be Wonder Woman, perhaps?
The desire for a Wonder Woman movie seems to have hit a fever pitch this year, with Marvel teasing plans for a female-led superhero film and DC and Warner Bros. planning on a 'Justice League' film in the near future -- the reality of which became all the more possible thanks to Ben Affleck's casting as Batman in 'Batman vs. Superman.' But who could fill the shoes of Wonder Woman? 'Thor: The Dark World' star Jaimie Alexander, maybe!
The actress recently spoke at a panel, detailed by Forbes magazine, in which she hinted that she's been meeting with Warner Bros. and knows quite a bit about the upcoming 'Batman vs. Superman' movie:
Alexander went on to say followed that up by saying her confidence in Affleck's casting is bolstered by the fact he is so suited for the particular Batman portrayal in the film — and her reason for that certainty is, as she put it, she "kind of knows the story line for that movie."
So, by the end of the panel, we'd heard that Jaimie Alexander had had conversations with both Marvel and WB regarding their superhero movies, and that she knows things about the Batman vs. Superman film.
Of course, there's no script for a Wonder Woman film, so any speculation right now is completely premature, but the idea of Alexander as Wonder Woman is a pretty great one, and she's certainly proved she's got the chops to pull off a strong female hero. Might we see Alexander in 'Batman vs. Superman'? Her comments certainly seem to hint at some sort of involvement, and we can't wait to learn more.

Former Sioux Falls Teacher Accused of Raping 14-Year Old Girl
A former teacher at Axtell Park Middle School in Sioux Falls is facing a fourth degree rape charge and two counts of sexual contact with a child under 16.
33-year old Tonya Marie Druppel is accused of beginning a relationship with the 14-year old girl in 2012 until Druppel resigned from the school district in May 2013.
"We don't tolerate behaviors of this nature. In this case, this person is no longer with us, but the pain still remains, deeply with the child," said Sioux Falls School Superintendent Pam Homan at a news conference Wednesday. "Safety is always our number one concern. And when we know that an event, a person or anything that puts a child at risk, we deal with it and we with it as quickly as we can."
Sioux Falls police began their investigation last week on a referral from the Department of Social Services.
According to KSFY, police said Druppel had numerous encounters with the victim, and when authorities found her, she tried to commit suicide:
The affidavit describes several alleged encounters between Drueppel and the victim, the most recent on January 24. It says that officers found the victim and Drueppel together then at the Nites Inn in Sioux Falls. The victim hadn't shown up for school that day, and Drueppel had called in sick from her job at Tea Tots daycare. The affidavit said that when officers entered the hotel room, Drueppel was trying to hang herself with an electrical chord in the bathroom. She was taken into custody and transported to the Law Enforcement Center where she was interviewed by officers.

July 30, 2010
LOS ANGELES -- Stacey Bryant, a member of UCLA Anderson's Executive MBA (EMBA) Class of 2011, has passed away. The announcement to the Anderson community came from Dean Judy Olian and Senior Associate Dean Carla Hayn, who said in a joint statement, "Stacey was a great friend to all of her EMBA colleagues, appreciated by the faculty and staff for her cheerful countenance, an enthusiastic supporter of UCLA Anderson, an accomplished business woman and a joy to be around. We will miss her greatly."
For the past two years, Bryant held the position of senior vice president of property and consumer information and insurance for Stewart Information Services where she managed overall strategic relationships and drove revenue to new heights. Prior to that, Bryant had a 14-year career with First American Corporation, a Fortune 200 company. She rose to the position of chief information officer of Optima Information Systems (a division of First American), eventually becoming the chief executive officer of the organization, serving until 2008.
Stacey's personal mission was to provide the next generation with the "ability to dream" and to realize goals far beyond what they might normally aspire to attain the statement said. She turned her passion into action by serving as founder & CEO of Pink Ladder, an organization that encourages African-American women to realize their full potential professionally and personally by ascending to new heights, celebrating their successes and inspiring others to do the same.
She also served (in 2008) on the Board of Directors of Working Wardrobes, a non-profit organization that empowers men, women and young adults in crises to enter the workforce through career development and wardrobe services. She once said, "I cannot think of a single award, recognition, or accomplishment that makes me prouder than seeing others realize their fullest potential."
Bryant earned her B.S. degree in Business Administration from Pepperdine University in 1999.
A memorial service honoring Stacey Bryant will be held on Sunday, August 1, at 3:00 p.m. at First American, 1 First American Way, Santa Ana, California, 92707.

First distress call on S. Korean ferry from passenger, not crew, coast guard says
JINDO, South Korea (CNN) — The first distress call from the ferry Sewol came not from the crew, but from a boy who used a cell phone to contact emergency services from aboard the sinking ship, the South Korean coast guard confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.
CNN affiliate JTBC reported that the boy dialed South Korea's emergency number, telling dispatchers for a local fire service, "Help us. The boat is sinking."
It was not until three minutes later, the coast guard told CNN, that the ship's crew made a distress call to maritime officials.
The revelation is likely to add to questions about the conduct of the crew, nine of whom are facing charges in last week's sinking.
Among other things, authorities have questioned why an inexperienced third mate was guiding the ship at the time of the accident, why so few of the ferry's life rafts were deployed and why crew members ordered passengers to don life vests and stay put.
At least 121 people are confirmed and 181 are missing, according to the coast guard.
That number could rise on news that divers reached the ship's cafeteria, where many passengers were thought to be when the ship began to have troubles last Wednesday.
Search for survivors goes on
Divers reached the cafeteria Tuesday afternoon, said a joint task force leading the search. It wasn't immediately known what they found in the cold, murky waters.
Koh Myung-seok, a spokesman for the task force, said authorities think a lot of people may have been in the cafeteria because the ferry sank in the morning.
Rescuers will continue to focus Wednesday on the third and fourth decks of the five-level ship, the task force said.
Above the ship, two buoys marked its location in the water, surrounded by dozens of vessels, ranging from dinghies to warships. Inflatable powerboats zipped across the sea, ferrying divers to the area
Searchers used guide ropes to lead them into the submerged ferry.
"Divers can't even see their hands," Koh said.
Bard Yoon, one of the divers, said conditions are so bad "my heart aches."
"We're going in thinking there may be survivors," he said. "When we have to come back with nothing, we can't even face the families."
On shore, relatives of missing passengers waited anxiously, many of them parents of high school students who were on a field trip. As bodies come in, they are called into white domed tents to identify the remains of their loved ones.
Authorities said the efforts are still a search and rescue operation, but no survivors have been found since 174 people were rescued soon after the ferry went down.
Captain and crew criticized
As the search continues, investigators are trying to figure out what happened to make the ship list before finally capsizing and sinking into the ocean.
Initial criticism has focused on the captain and some crew members. South Korean President Park Geun-hye said Monday that their actions were "akin to murder."
The captain, Lee Joon-seok, has defended his decision to tell passengers to stay put as the ferry began sinking, saying he was concerned about the sea's strong currents and cold water as well as the lack of rescue ships.
Questions have been raised about why the third mate was steering the ship when it ran into trouble on its way to a popular vacation island. The captain was in his cabin at the time.
Chonghaejin Marine, which operated the ferry, has posted an apology on its website.
"We pray for the Sewol victims who lost their precious lives due to the accident," it said. "We prostrate ourselves before the victims' families and beg for forgiveness."

100 km
Last Wednesday we reached the official goal for our "continuous operation" project: seven days of continuous operation. PR2 logged 70km of autonomous navigation during that period and had to plug itself in countless times. So, we wondered, how much farther can it go? Last night the PR2 made it to 100km of autonomous navigation, and it's now at 110 km. Go PR2 go!

Metabolic Syndrome
Learn the basics of this little-known syndrome that occurs predominantly in overweight and sedentary individuals, and is linked to a number of cardiac risk factors.
Metabolic Syndrome - A New Spin?
High blood pressure, visceral fat, elevated triglycerides, cholesterol and blood sugars: these are known danger signs for deadly heart disease and diabetes. So why are we now calling these things "THE METABOLIC SYNDROME," and why do we keep hearing about it?
I'm Dr. Caroline Cederquist, giving you the Skinny on Your Health.
These aren't newly discovered risk factors. But what obesity researchers have learned about these risks is the profound relationships AMONG them and what their presence TOGETHER is likely to lead to - very often, premature DEATH.
Previously, a doctor looking at any one or two elements of the Metabolic Syndrome might not be very concerned. He might simply advise the patient to lose weight and leave it at that, without ever being triggered to look for the OTHER symptoms of the Metabolic Syndrome, or recognizing the magnitude of risk the patient could be facing overall.
Putting a name on this complex of problems helps re-educate both doctors and the public, and provides an urgent, recognizable shorthand for "Hey, there's a serious problem here that needs real medical care."
Patients who have somehow avoided the standard warning symptoms of obesity-related disease often convince themselves that they're lucky, and they've somehow dodged the bullet. If you think you're one of the lucky few, it might be time to think again.
I'm Dr. Caroline Cederquist, giving you The Skinny on Your Health.
In a recent study, researchers looked subjects of various weights with NO signs of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or any other symptoms of congestive heart failure.
Participants were divided into four weight groups, and the heaviest subjects had two distinctive features:
Their heart function was much weaker than other, lighter-weight subjects, and they also had higher fasting levels of insulin, showing that their bodies weren't using their insulin efficiently.
And THAT can lead to the heart disease that none of them yet had.
The researchers are now testing to see if specifically improving heart strength and function can also improve the body's ability to process its insulin, and perhaps offer one more way to keep disease at bay.
Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Fitness
According to some studies, as much as 25 percent of the American population now has metabolic syndrome, a complex of symptoms that place a person at much higher risk for heart disease and diabetes.
Most people who have metabolic syndrome are overweight, but new research shows that losing weight isn't the only way to alleviate it. A long-term study of more than 7,000 women classified them not by weight but by levels of cardiovascular fitness.
The group with the lowest cardiovascular fitness had more than three times the metabolic syndrome of even the next group up! This showed that even minor improvements in cardiovascular fitness could dramatically reduce the dangers of metabolic syndrome, whether or not actual weight loss was ever pursued or achieved.
And the best part? The researchers said that fitness improvement could be achieved by just increasing daily lifestyle activity - using stairs instead of elevators, running the vacuum daily or regularly walking the dog - even without a formal exercise program.
Given the dangers of the metabolic syndrome, such a minor effort clearly offers a big payoff.
Exercise and Insulin Resistance
We know dietary changes initially help more when you're trying to lose weight. But what if you're really just trying to get healthier? Researchers made some dramatic findings in a controlled study looking at how exercise alone-without weight loss-would affect key markers for health risks.
Researchers had groups assigned to a diet-and-exercise weight-loss program, and a diet-only weight-loss program.
And they put one group of subjects on a daily exercise program designed to burn about 500 calories, but they also increased their dietary intake by that same amount!
Naturally, the diet and exercise group had the greatest health improvement overall, but the weight-maintenance exercise group showed significant reductions in visceral fat and insulin resistance, key risk factors for diabetes and even heart disease.
These factors improved for them as much as for the group on a weight-loss diet, even though they didn't lose any weight.
It just shows again that there's no one right way to do it, as long as you do DO IT!
Metabolic Syndrome and Cognition
The metabolic syndrome leads to a whole array of dangerous physical problems, including cardiovascular illness, diabetes and heart disease. And apparently, it's related to mental decline, as well.
People don't often associate their weight with mental ability one way or the other. It's understood as an emotional stressor, but as far as brain function, we don't usually regard weight as a factor.
There's new evidence that says we should. The metabolic syndrome develops as a person becomes more and more overweight. It actually changes the way the body functions so that it's easier to gain weight, and harder to lose it. But it's also associated with higher levels of blood inflammation.
And inflammation of the vessels in the brain restricts blood flow. This could result in a large stroke, but it also can exert its effects over time, causing a decline in thinking ability.
Even if elderly people have given up on ever getting their body well again, they may be willing to take another stab at getting healthy, just to preserve their mind.
It's probably not too surprising that over time, heavy eating and heavy drinking cause many of the same health problems. But new research seems to show that they actually cause some of those problems through the same mechanisms.
The metabolic syndrome is a complex of symptoms that develops over time as people gain weight. The syndrome actually changes the way the body functions, making it more efficient at gaining and storing fat. Even worse, it puts those affected at much higher risk for diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.
Now an unprecedented study presented to the American Heart Association shows the strong relationship between metabolic syndrome and DRINKING.
The researchers found that people who are heavy drinkers - consuming more than four drinks a day for women, or six for men - have a 60 percent greater risk of developing metabolic syndrome than the light drinkers who generally took in only 1 to 1.5 drinks daily.
That's a lot of risk for some serious diseases, and worth keeping in mind, especially for anyone who's used to mixing their overeating with a couple extra cocktails.
Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X
Metabolic Syndrome - Do you know what it is? If not, listen closely, because chances are good that you already have it.
I'm Dr. Caroline Cederquist, with Get The Skinny on Your Health.
In some age groups, up to 40 percent of Americans have the Metabolic Syndrome, and people with the syndrome are at greater risk for developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and they have higher mortality rates from all causes.
The five identifying characteristics of Metabolic Syndrome are:- high blood pressure- low HDL, the good cholesterol our bodies need;- high triglycerides, which are blood fats;- high blood sugar; and- waist circumference of greater than 40 inches in men or 35 inches in women.
Any three of these five characteristics identifies you as having Metabolic Syndrome, and once the syndrome develops, it becomes much easier to gain weight, and much harder to lose it, to say nothing of those increased risks of disease and death.
Have you ever started a healthy new eating regimen, but within just days, even hours, you already feel like your body is just screaming to be fed?
We're talking about acute physical symptoms including weakness, lightheadedness, and ravenous, hunger-just an hour or two after eating!
A normally functioning body wouldn't be so hungry again so soon. If you're having these strong physical reactions, you probably have the Metabolic Syndrome, a condition that actually changes the way the body functions, making it more efficient at gaining and storing fat.
Even worse, it puts those affected at much higher risk for diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.
While the Metabolic Syndrome is becoming more and more common, it's not normal, and it needs to be corrected.
The good news is that dietary adjustments can usually do the job without medications. Specifically, with an insulin-lowering diet, people can reverse the metabolic syndrome and train their bodies to function properly again, then go on to safe, effective weight loss.

USDA has issued new regulations aimed at solving the "wet cotton" problem, a situation cotton ginners are calling "a tempest in a teapot" and one that cotton merchants argue threatens the reputation of U.S. cotton in international markets.
The new regulations, which deal with the storage, handling and ginning requirement for cotton pledged as collateral for marketing assistance loans, define "wet cotton" as a bale that exceeds 7.5 percent moisture (wet basis) at any point in the bale when measured at the gin.
Bales may not surpass that 7.5 percent moisture level and be eligible for a marketing assistance loan, according to the regulations, which were part of a final rule issued by USDA on Aug. 30. The rule also establishes other new criteria for cotton gins and warehouses.
Cotton ginners say the problems with wet bales have been caused by a small number of gins that were either trying to add weight to bales surreptitiously or did not understand how to properly handle equipment that can add moisture to cotton to aid in the ginning process.
"What was thought to be a widespread problem turned out to be limited to two gins that processed only 66,000 bales out of the 23-million-bale-plus 2005 crop," the Southern Cotton Ginners Association said in a resolution passed at its summer conference in Hot Springs, Ark.
Neither the SCGA nor the National Cotton Council has identified the two gins. But the two organizations established a Bale Moisture Task Force that prepared a number of recommendations on the moisture issue. Kenneth Hood, a former NCC chairman and longtime cotton ginner, chaired the committee.
Most of the task force recommendations and other points included in the National Cotton Council's comments on USDA's proposed rule were adopted, according to Council Chairman Allen Helms, a producer from Clarkedale, Ark.
"Many of the Council's recommendations on the transfer of loan cotton, outside storage and the calculation of a national storage credit rate were included in USDA's final rule," said Helms. "The rule also includes NCC recommendations on a reporting system to determine compliance with the warehouse shipping standard.
"Obviously, there are some areas of concern that will require clarification and some action on the part of the industry to resolve, but on the whole, we believe this process worked very well. It is clear that USDA gave serious consideration to the industry's consensus positions offered in the NCC's comments."
The industry recommendations concerning calculation of national storage rates were included in the rule, but CCC did not accept the recommendation supporting the right of warehouses to increase their tariff rates up to the maximum credit rate.
The rule also does not include the NCC's recommendations regarding high moisture bales; instead, CCC chose to establish the 7.5 percent maximum moisture level requirement for baled cotton at the gin. The rule also incorporates recognized industry standards concerning bale condition as part of CCC's bale eligibility requirements.
"It is unfortunate that USDA's rule did not fully implement NCC's policy recommendations," said Hood. "We will monitor this issue in the months ahead and work to increase awareness in our industry to avoid future problems. It is critical that we maintain confidence in the quality of U.S. cotton."
Cotton merchants say they had been receiving complaints about water-damaged bales for several years. Generally, mills complained that the cotton they had purchased was one to two grades lower than specified and they demanded compensation from the merchants that sold them.
In 2005, merchants encountered "some dramatic examples of the problem," according to John Mitchell, vice president at Cargill Cotton in Memphis, Tenn. "Those included bales in the warehouse dripping water, caked and rotten. But the main problem is more in the middle ground, where the bale isn't ruined, but the cotton quality has been changed as a result of added water."
Other changes in the USDA final rule include:
Outside storage — A warehouse in an area determined by the Commodity Credit Corp. to have inadequate storage capacity may request approval to store bales outside and must agree to meet special storage and insurance requirements. USDA will not provide storage credits during the time the cotton is stored outside.
The outside storage issue gained national prominence when warehouses on the Texas High Plains were unable to provide inside storage for the huge crops growers harvested in 2004 and 2005. Merchants again complained that bales left outside for several months lost quality.
Revised storage credit — CCC's maximum storage credit rate for the 2006 and subsequent crops of upland cotton is the lesser of the 2005-crop tariff rate for the warehouse or the maximum level established for the state where the cotton is stored. The uniform maximum storage credit rate is $4.37 per bale per month for Arizona and California. The rate is $2.66 per bale per month for all other cotton-producing states. Warehouse tariff rates remain unregulated by CCC and may exceed the credit provided by CCC.
New bale quality requirements — CCC revised cotton loan eligibility regulations with two new requirements to promote quality assurance by ginners and warehouses. To be eligible for loan, cotton must be in good condition and not wet. Wet cotton is defined by regulations as a bale that, at a gin, exceeds 7.5 percent moisture (wet basis) at any point in the bale.
Good condition is defined as a bale of cotton that, by comparison with the photographic standards of the Joint Cotton Industry Bale Packaging Committee, is determined to be Grade A or Grade B. If CCC determines that cotton loan collateral does not meet these new quality standards, the loans for such cotton will be subject to immediate repayment at principal plus interest.
Transfer to another approved warehouse — Producers may move loan cotton receipted by an Electronic Warehouse Receipt from an approved cotton warehouse to another approved cotton warehouse without canceling their loan or the initial warehouse receipts. A transfer may be requested using form CCC-699C if the warehouse operator of the receiving warehouse consents to the terms of the transfer. A producer's agent vested with this specific authority on CCC-605, Part G, can also request the transfer of loan cotton.
Liens — CCC provides loans for cotton that is unencumbered by liens or unpaid charges. Many cotton storage warehouses levy a "compression charge" per bale received into storage that is paid by the buyer of the cotton upon load-out and cancellation of the receipt. For 2006 and subsequent crop-year cotton, CCC will bill producers for any warehouse compression fees that are unpaid for forfeited cotton. The producer's responsibility for this and other unpaid charges levied by the warehouse is contained in the CCC-601 in Item 10d.
For more information on the final rule, a fact sheet can be found at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/pas/publications/facts/html/uplandcot06.htm.

Difference between revisions of "Tirta Gangga"
Revision as of 13:14, 22 May 2011
Tirta Gangga is a village in East Bali.
Tirta Gangga literally means water from the Ganges and it is a site of some reverance for the Hindu Balinese. Strictly, the name refers to the water palace built here in 1946 by the King of Karangasem. It is though widely used to refer to the general area which includes the water palace and some particularly stunning rural areas around.
Get in
Tirta Gangga is a popular side trip from the nearby coastal resort towns of Amed and Candidasa. Organised tours are widely offered.
Public buses run from nearby Karangasem town and Perama [4] buses can be chartered from Candidasa.
If you are driving yourself, Tirta Gangga is on the main east coast road just north of the town of Karangasem (Amlapura) and is fairly well signposted.
Get around
This is a great area of Bali in which to walk with many small roads and paths to explore.
The primary draw in this area for visitors is the Tirta Gangga water palace, a lovely maze of pools and fountains surround by a lush garden and stone carvings and statues. The one hectare complex was built in 1946 by the late King of Karangsem but was destroyed almost entirely by the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963. It has been lovingly re-built and restored and has an air of authentic royal magnificence. The centrepiece of the palace is an eleven tiered fountain, and there are many beautiful carvings and statues adorning the gardens. This is a great spot to unwind and it has a real atmosphere of old Bali. You can bathe in the pools for a small charge which is additional to the Rp 6,000 entrance fee.
The area around Tirta Gangga holds some stunning rice paddy terraces. Those postcard pictures of Bali rice terraces which you have all seen are usually from photographs taken here.
Lempuyang Temple (Pura Lempuyang Luhur) is about 10 km east of Tirtagangga on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang. This is one of the key nine directional temples on the island. Park in the car park and walk up the steps to the temple. The lower temple is always open but the upper temple (at the top of the dragon staircases) is often locked, so it is best to go with a Balinese driver who will usually be able to arrange for the temple priest to open it up for you. It's situated high up a mountain and there are magnificent sunset views at dusk.
Taman Ujung to the southeast of Karangasem (Amlapura) is another water palace built by the predecessor of the King who constructed Tirta Gangga. It must be said that it is rather inferior, but still a charming attraction and worth a visit. Taman Ujung was built in 1909 as a relaxation and recreation palace by the then King of Karangasem, I Gusti Bagus Jelantik. It was largely destroyed by the eruption of Mount Agung in 1963, damaged again by an earthquake in 1979, and has not been restored on the same scale as Tirta Gangga. You do get a sense of how lovely it must have been though. From Tirta Gangga, head back south to Karangasem and then take the minor road south east to the village of Ujung. Taman Ujung is another 2 km past the village, very close to the coast. If you are staying in Tirta Gangga or Candidasa, you will certainly be offered tours which include Taman Ujung.
There are many souvenir shops and stalls at the entrance of the water palace.
Good Karma is a great value, long-established restaurant above the main car park of the water palace.
Tirta Ayu inside the water palace is a good quality restaurant with a superb aspect looking out over the pools and gardens.
There are several budget accommodation options alongside the main road both south and north of Tirta Gangga. Look for the signs.
Get out
The popular coastal resort towns of Candidasa and Amed are easily reached in about 20 minutes from here.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Attorney Mark O'Mara, who was a legal expert for Local 6 in the Casey Anthony murder trial and the ongoing Trayvon Martin death investigation, is now representing George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who shot and killed the teen in Sanford.
Zimmerman was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder in Martin's death.
O'Mara said Zimmerman will plead not guilty and asked that people not jump to conclusions about his client's guilt. O'Mara said he's "hoping that the community will calm down" now that charges have been filed and the case is moving forward.
"I'm expecting a lot of work and hopefully justice in the end," said O'Mara, who added that Zimmerman is OK but concerned about his future. "He's frightened."
O'Mara said he spoke to Zimmerman on the phone earlier in the day.
"He is troubled by everything that has happened, and I can't imagine living in Geroge Zimmerman's shoes for the past number of weeks, only because he has been the focus of anger, confusion and hatred, and that has to be difficult," O'Mara said.
O'Mara, who's been practicing law for 30 years, said he's tried "stand your ground" cases in the past but added that he has a lot of work to do in this case.
"Quite honestly, I have not been involved in the case very long. I probably know as much as the media does, if not less," he said. "My hope is that the judge will grant a bond and that it is a bond the family can make."
Zimmerman's former attorneys, Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig, announced Tuesday they were stepping down from the case because they had not had any contact with Zimmerman since Sunday.
Second-degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison and is typically charged when there is a fight or other confrontation that results in death and where there is no premeditated plan to kill someone.

The Osbournes and Lady Gaga Mend Fences at 2014 MusiCares Event
While one new feud ignited over Grammy weekend between Sharon Osbourne and fellow music manager Jordan Feldstein, some other simmering bad feelings were officially squashed as the Osbournes made nice with pop star Lady Gaga. In fact, the pop star told Ozzy Osbourne that she used to strip to Black Sabbath's music!
In 2012, Kelly Osbourne poked fun at Gaga during her job as a host on E!'s 'Fashion Police,' which led to many of Gaga's fans venting their anger at Osbourne via her social networking accounts. As things got nasty, Sharon Osbourne intervened and it began to get really ugly.
This year, as Jack Osbourne was serving as a correspondent for Fuse at the MusiCares Grammy week event, the timing worked out for a peace summit of sorts. Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were walking the red carpet close to Lady Gaga and the younger Osbourne decided to instigate the meeting.
As seen in the video above, Gaga has long since gotten past any bad feelings and they shared some red carpet screen time and bonding. Sharon and Ozzy made the first move, walking toward Gaga and embracing her on the red carpet before bringing her over for the interview where Sharon stated, "I'm determined we're going to bury the hatchet." Gaga responded as though she felt it was already buried, as she and Sharon hugged it out on the U.K. version of 'X Factor' last year.
Gaga went on to state, "I'm a really huge fan of you guys for a very long time, so it's totally water under the bridge." She went on to share that she had just told Ozzy that she and a friend used to strip to Black Sabbath's 'Black Sabbath' doing a 'Phantom of the Opera' routine. Watch it all go down in the video at the top of this post.

Chairman Lucas, Ranking Member Peterson and Members of this committee, thank you for inviting me to testify. I'm pleased to be here today.
I have great respect for the oversight role of Congress and believe that this ongoing dialogue is central to the commitment I have made to the American people to conduct EPA's business transparently and with accountability.
I also believe an important part of that commitment is to dispel certain myths about EPA's work and its impact on agriculture. These mischaracterizations are more than simple distractions; they prevent real dialogue to address our greatest problems. And so, today, I would like to spend a few minutes addressing some of them directly.
Let me begin, though, with one simple fact that I proudly embrace: farmers and ranchers are an essential part of our economy. They give us food, fiber, and fuel. The innovators in American agriculture deserve great credit for the significant steps they've taken to protect the environment while feeding millions of people.
With that recognition in mind, my direction to EPA has been to establish a consistent dialogue with the agriculture community, which is crucial to our work.
This is why I would like to take a moment today to address some of the mischaracterizations that have been, at times, unaddressed, or that need to be addressed again. As I'm sure you would agree, Mr. Chairman, facts matter and we all have a responsibility to ensure that the American people have facts and the truth in front of them, particularly when fictions are pushed by special interests with an investment in the outcome.
Let me give you five examples:
One is the notion that EPA intends to regulate the emissions from cows – what is commonly referred to as a "Cow Tax." This myth was started in 2008 by a lobbyist and –quickly de-bunked by the non-partisan, independent group fact-check.org – it still lives on. The truth is - EPA is proposing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a responsible, careful manner and we have even exempted agricultural sources from regulation.
Another mischaracterization is the claim that EPA is attempting to expand regulation of dust from farms. We have no plans to do so, but let me be clear, the Clean Air Act passed by Congress mandates that the Agency routinely review the science of various pollutants, including Particulate Matter, which is directly responsible for heart attacks and premature deaths. EPA's independent science panel is currently reviewing that science, and at my direction EPA staff is conducting meetings to engage with and listen to farmers and ranchers well before we even propose any rule.
Spray drift, dairy containers
Another example involves spray drift. While no one supports pesticides wafting into our schools and communities, EPA does not support a "no-spray drift policy." EPA has been on the record numerous times saying this, but the incorrect belief that EPA desires to regulate all spray drift persists. We have reached out to National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and other key stakeholders. Working with them, we have been able to identify critical issues and we will continue our efforts to resolve them.
Yet another mischaracterization is the false notion that EPA is planning on mandating Federal numeric nutrient limits on various States. Again, let me be clear: EPA is not working on any federal numeric nutrient limits. We will soon be releasing a framework memo to our regional offices that makes it clear that addressing nitrogen and phosphorus pollution – which is a major problem - is best addressed by the States, through numerous tools, including proven conservation practices. The case of Florida is unique – the last Administration made a determination that federal numeric nutrient standards were necessary in Florida, requiring EPA to develop such standards.
And finally is the notion that EPA intends to treat spilled milk in the same way as spilled oil. This is simply incorrect. Rather, EPA has proposed, and is on the verge of finalizing an exemption for milk and dairy containers. This exemption needed to be finalized because the law passed by Congress was written broadly enough to cover milk containers. It was our work with the dairy industry that prompted EPA to develop an exemption and make sure the standards of the law are met in a commonsense way. All of EPA's actions have been to exempt these containers. And we expect this to become final very shortly.
Contrary to the myths is the reality I spoke of earlier. EPA is in close consultation with America's farmers and ranchers. We have listened to their concerns and made them a part of the work we do. Let me give just one example that is very important to this committee.
When EPA proposed higher renewable fuels production mandates under RFS 2, we heard – again through extensive public comments and direct conversations – the ethanol industry's concerns with the analysis of greenhouse gas impacts, which EPA was conducting under a requirement from Congress. We addressed their concerns, and we now have a rule that encourages vast innovation, respects the needs of agricultural communities, and is expected to create jobs and increase farmers' incomes by $13 billion annually by 2022.
Mr. Chairman, everyone in this room, has the same desire – to have safe water, air and land for our children – and to do so in a way that maintains our economic strengths. EPA will continue to work with this committee, as well as our partners in the States and the agricultural community to achieve the goals we have set together, and to serve the values we all share. Thank you.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort women's soccer team was unable to generate many scoring chances against Flagler College, losing 4-0 to the NCAA Division II Saints on Wednesday at Fin Land Field.
The Saints (5-0-1) scored a quick goal when Jessica Jagielski assisted on Cassie Fernandez's first goal of the season in the fifth minute.
Cristina Coca had to make only one save thanks to Flagler's strong defensive effort.
The Sand Sharks (2-4) tightened up on defense after the initial goal, but Katie Kaim scored off an assist from Jessie Uvalle in the 35th minute to give the Saints a 2-0 halftime lead.
Jagielski assisted on Taylor Adkins' fourth goal of the season in the 53rd minute, and Katie Kaufmann put away an assist from Fernandez in the 67th minute for the final margin.
USCB goalkeeper Chelsie Mummert stopped seven shots.
"We played a good team tonight, and we simply got outplayed," USCB coach Ed Heberling said. "This is the kind of game you schedule to see where you stand, and now we know what we need to do to be competitive with some of the best teams in our conference. We know where we need to be."
The Sand Sharks host non-conference games against Emmanuel College at 5 p.m. Friday and against Florida Christian College at 1 p.m. Monday before opening Sun Conference play against SCAD at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Miss Harriet Martineau (1802-1876), a famous English author and abolitionist, enjoyed celebrity treatment when she arrived in the Connecticut River Valley in the mid-1830s. She had come to the United States in 1834 to write a book about the young nation and published "Society in America" in 1837. In this letter, Mary Cochran of Northampton, Massachusetts, reports to her mother the comings and goings of Miss Martineau. Cochran describes much anticipation as Miss Martineau's travel plans to Springfield change and respected citizens jockey to spend time with her. After a trip to the top of Mount Holyoke, Cochran finally is able to "drink in her (Martineau's) conversation" and reports that "(y)ou could not hear her speak ten words without being impressed with the majesty of her mind." Cochran reports that she eventually mustered up enough courage to take up Martineau's "speaking tube" (Martineau was slowing going deaf), and hold a conversation with her about her travels.

- work with the blue and gold color pallet or if introducing a 3rd color have it match hues.
- avoid drop shadows or layering of elements we want a clean clear logo
- we want a logo with a distinct authoritative font face.
- prefer logos on a white background or at least high contrast.
I look forward to seeing your ideas and we will leave feedback twice a day to help each candidate tone their logo.

I can not believe how fast this summer flew by! It's almost Fall – in fact, my kiddo went back to school and started the 11th grade today! So, I thought today would be a good day to finish up my own summer vacation.
In case you were wondering what I had been up to, I made this handy dandy collage just for you!
1) "Orange is the New Black". You GUYS! Seriously! This show! It makes me questions lots of things – like, what was I doing 8 years ago that could totally creep up and screw up my life now? I need it to be 2014 already.
2) I went ziplining! Who'da thought *that* would happen? It went so good, I was a "shaka brah" goddess by the end!
3) I had this *ridiculous* Peach Pie ice cream. Real bits of peach and crust and real vanilla bean. Geez, I can taste it now. Too bad I had it at some hole in the wall out of state and no chance to get any more. Someone hit me up with a recipe STAT!
4) I saw some *amazing* movies this summer that you guys HAVE to check out, like "The Kings of Summer" and The Spectacular Now. I have a completely inappropriate crush on Miles Teller and am counting down the days until "Divergent" comes out. (*Fact: I may actually be a teenage girl, instead of a 40+ mom.)
5) My BFF had her baby and I finally made it down to see my new nephew, Henry. He's kind of already in love with me. It's understandable.
6) I read. A lot. "Shocked", (*which was written by Beauty Blitz's Polly Blitzer's mom!), was just one of the *many* books that I read. My library card got a workout. And, yes, I still read paper books – there is just something about holding a physical book in my hand that a digital version just can't match.
7) I figured out a way to give up the scrunchies. For now.
8) I went super bare on makeup this summer. Literally, what you see here was pretty much all that was used in some combination. I was lazy & I didn't want to make a fuss, so, this MAC "Illustrated" bag was my it bag & in it I stashed:
Yep, that's really pretty much all I wore this summer. For real.
9) And, I am pretty sure I spent most of my Summer in 2008, because I spent far too much time trying to get the Golden Fishing Rod in "Animal Crossing: City Folk", which my sweet Momma loves to watch me play. I'm still 1 fish short. Damn you, Coelacanth!
So, that's pretty much my summer – spending time with the family, relaxing and basically stepping away from the keyboard for a while.
Hope you guys had a great summer, too! (*Or maybe a great winter, if you are Down Under. 😉 ) Tell me – what kind of fun things did you do?Copyright secured by Digiprove

A federal judge in Philadelphia has again declined to approve deals for some of the retired players suing the NFL over concussions.
U.S. District Judge Anita Brody's preliminary ruling Wednesday affects a batch of lawsuits involving lead plaintiff Kevin Turner, a former Philadelphia Eagle now battling Lou Gehrig's disease.
Brody had issued a similar ruling in January in the lead case in the matter, which could ultimately cover up to 20,000 retired players.
The judge has asked lawyers for more details to support claims the proposed $765 million fund would last for 65 years. Young players with severe brain injuries would get up to $5 million under the deal, though most players would get far less.
Brody is expected to conduct hearings in the case later this year.

ALAMEDA — In a private dockside ceremony early Monday morning, the crew of Sweden's Artemis Racing team finally launched its new America's Cup racing boat into San Francisco Bay.
The launch of the blue-and-yellow 72-foot catamaran comes more than two months after the tragic capsize of its first boat during a training exercise May 9. Andrew "Bart" Simpson, an Olympic gold medalist and beloved crew member, was killed when the boat cracked apart and he was trapped under the wreckage.
Artemis racing was already behind on the construction of its second boat and the accident further delayed the team's entry into America's Cup races as it tested its design and construction to make sure it is safe.
"This is a great day for many reasons," Artemis Racing owner Torbjorn Tornqvist told the crowd. "It is the culmination of a heroic effort to put together this beautiful boat "…. The shore team has put so much into this, and now for our sailing team to get out there and give her justice. I am proud to share with you this great moment."
While the team plans to begin training on the bay this week, it is not expected to join the Louis Vuitton Cup races, which precede the America's Cup finals, until the semifinals Aug. 6.
The winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup will take on defender Oracle Team USA beginning Sept. 7.
