text: Crop Insurance Value January 25, 2013 08:08 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bob Utterback Farm Journal Columnist Email A tool to help sort out your marketing options The weeks leading up to spring planting require a great deal of planning for farmers. This year, deciding what type and level of crop insurance to buy will likely require a more strategic thought process than in years past to manage risk regardless of how 2013 shakes out. Since it looks like the government will continue to financially support crop insurance, it's important to enhance your understanding of how different insurance plans work and how to manage your marketing efforts as conditions change. With the help of Silveus Insurance Group, we can now analyze the profitability of various crop insurance plans. Once you decide which level of insurance to purchase and determine your costs of production, yield, cash sales, futures and option positions, etc., you can plot the bottom-dollar impact on your operation (see table below). For example, let's assume a Midwest farm with 625 acres of corn has a five-year yield average of 160 bu. per acre for total production of 100,000 bu. The producer estimates total per-acre costs before a return on investment of $4.50. The table plots this producer's net profit per acre potential with no crop insurance and an 85% revenue protection. The two extremes in coverage options will help isolate the effects of carrying a high level of crop insurance plan versus not buying insurance. As of mid-January, December 2013 corn was trading close to $5.70. At 160 bu., this producer could net around $161 per acre with 85% revenue protection coverage or $19 per acre with no insurance coverage. If we see at least 98 million corn acres planted with yield above 160 bu. per acre, the downside price target of $5 pushes the potential loss to $51 per acre. Giving up $21 per acre to protect against a $212 per acre loss may be the easiest decision that farmers have to make this year. Watch for additional marketing strategies that can add to Midwest farmers' net profit per acre in future issues of Farm Journal.

Japanese Financial Companies Put Their Money on Investors
Japanese financial institutions are snapping up overseas fund-management companies, as they search for ways to generate fee income with less risk than their traditional businesses.
Although Japan is a nation of savers, trillions of dollars are squirreled away in savings accounts, out of reach of fund-management companies. Financial companies are increasingly partnering with foreign companies to beef up their range of asset-management products in hopes of capturing those funds.
Tokyo-based Orix Corp.'s $2.6 billion purchase of Robeco NV from Dutch lender Rabobank, while the biggest acquisition of a foreign money manager by a Japanese company, is just the latest in a string of aggressive deal-making in the sector over the past two years.

Esther Lofgren won gold in the women's eight at the 2012 Olympic Games. She is a seven-time U.S. national team rower, current World Record holder in the eight, four-time World Champion and seven-time World Championship medalist. She blogs for USRowing about training, racing, and the life of an elite rower.
...doesn't stay at the Olympics, it's going up on this blog!
Just out of the P & G Salon for the Oakley party!
In all seriousness, everything
post-Olympics over in London was pretty amazing. Not as debaucherous as
everyone keeps wondering, but an incredible trip, with every single day
jam-packed with awesome. The earliest I went to bed after moving into
the Olympic Village was 5:15am--yes, the normal time I wake up for
practice back in Princeton. But the Village wasn't a den of craziness.
Everyone was incredibly respectful of the fact that most of the athletes
there were still competing.
Found legend Drew Ginn at McDonalds after the Closing Ceremony!
Only the busy 24-hour McDonalds--the
late-night/early-morning favorite of athletes from EVERY nation--gave
away what we were up to!
Kyle, me, and our "British family"!
My first few days were spent with my
family and boyfriend, who were able to stay for a bit after the racing.
Kyle and I had a great time hanging out with the families who'd hosted
him out by Eton and then in London. I've been exchanging letters with
the little girls who came to dinner with us after my race...they've
inspired me to take on some of the sports I've wanted to try and to
reach out to more kids who are excited about rowing and the Olympics. I
also got in some sight-seeing around London with my family.
Found some proper Bobbies to take a photo with!
Messing around up in the London Eye!
My bucket list for the Olympics (after
winning, of course!) was: watch April Ross (my high school volleyball
teammate and hero) in beach volleyball. Watch Usain Bolt run. Swap kit
for Swedish Olympic gear. And fill every single minute with awesome! I
was lucky enough to check everything off my list. I got to watch April
not only in her semi but also in the USA-USA final, where she and
partner Jen Kessy played to a hard-fought silver.
Beach volleyball gold medal match. Awesome!!!
Then, sitting a few seats away from the
Olympic flame (MAN! that thing is hot!), I got to see Usain win the
200m. And on the very last afternoon, right before closing ceremonies, I
tracked down the Swedish team's dorm and made a javelin thrower swap
Met Evander Holyfield, fellow Nutri-Grain bar enthusiast, at the USA House!
And David Beckham at beach volleyball!
Of course, there were tons of other
awesome moments, too. We met too many celebrities to list. There were
the constant awesome moments of grabbing a tray at the dining hall or
signing up for something in the Team USA office, right next to athletes
who are your heroes. "Okay, be cool, be cool...holy crap, it's Abby
With Abby and the women's soccer team at an NBC event.
And then just getting to spend time with
my teammates, some of my best friends, without the pressure of practice
or competition or another team we needed to make just around the corner.
For once, we were free just to spend time with each other and celebrate
what we'd accomplished.
Just after ringing the bell at the NYSE!
We did several interviews and shows, both
in London and when we got back to the US. The highlights were getting to
ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange--SO COOL!!!--and
then doing the Today Show in New York.
With Mary and Moose in NYC!
After our interview, we got to stick
around and cook with Curtis Stone--the dreamy "Take Home Chef" who can
make a mean pork belly stir fry. And then, just as we were leaving, one
of our media managers came around the corner in a huff--"I just got
kicked out of the green room by Lionel Ritchie's entourage!" I put my
heels and medal back on, walked back to the green room, and peeked
around the corner. Sitting there on the giant sofa, all by himself, was
Lionel, who looked up at me, spread his arms and said, beaming, "It's
YOU!" Me: "...Yes, it IS me!" (What?!?) The man is amazing, and he told his trainer he wanted to come row with us in San Diego. I can't wait!
Dancing on the ceiling...eeps!
Besides the media, we've all been
criss-crossing the country to see friends and family that we've been
away from for months and years. The local pizza place, Massimos--the one
you'd always go to after AYSO soccer games--had a welcome home dinner
for me, and I got to see so many family friends and friends from high
school. It was a really special night.
Thanks for an awesome event, Massimos!!!
I also got to go speak at my high school
rowing program, where there are lots of great kids who are really
excited about the Olympics!
With the Junior Women at NAC!
It's been so wonderful to be able to share
this medal with all of the people who helped me be there to win it, and
who've backed me up through this whole journey. From my first host
family in Princeton, to my high school friend's family who've cheered me
on since I started rowing. There are hundreds of emails from friends
I'm still trying to get caught up on, and my mom handed me fistfuls of
cards when I got home.
Our medal.
The support this whole journey has been
incredible, and I don't feel like this will wind down until I can share
this with and thank everyone who's helped me along the way. Thank you
for your support and for supporting the dreams of everyone on our team,
for believing in all of us long shots. This is our medal.
Immediately, I was overcome with emotion. The night before our race,
and the morning of, I had thought back over everything I'd been through,
and everything our team had been through, to be there, on that start
line. A lot of training, sure, but also a lot of sacrifice, dedication,
and above all, the support of the people who'd helped us become athletes
who could win Olympic gold. Though I was beaming, the tears came, and I
let them. Totally spent, I leaned forward and hugged Taylor, and then
flopped back onto Susie. My girls. So, so proud of them and of what we
had all accomplished together.
Our race was a good starting point for us--our first race together in this lineup. Some good things and lots to improve on. We lined up against Germany, Great Britain, and Australia at 11:50am, just after some brewing thunderclouds had us wondering if racing would be delayed. We were called into the blocks pretty early, so there was a lot of time to sit there, get acclimated to the noise of the camera overhead, the 20 or so photographers on the dock, the spectators shouting, and the huge buoys that mark the starting line and the boot. The boot is a huge plastic guard that keeps the bow aligned as the boats sit ready; when the starting beep sounds, there's a huge WHOOSH as the boots drop into the water and the boats surge off the line.
The race course, looking fast and almost ready!
Wow...the past five days have really flown by. We're pretty settled in now to the Olympic Rowing Village, and the other countries have just started to arrive (for a while, it was just us, Belarus, Zimbabwe, Hong Kong, and a few others!) We're also into our normal training routine at Dorney Lake in Eton, which is the same fast course I remember from the World Championships in 2006!
Some things are slightly different, though, like the...interesting Olympic mascots at the 1,000m mark wearing GB unisuits!
We're still not sure what Wenlock is supposed to represent...
But once we're on the water, it's just our normal training and racing and getting ready to have the best races of our lives! Taylor, my lovely pair partner, shows off the view from my seat!
The view from my office!
Between practices, we've been grabbing meals at the course, which has great food and beautiful views of the finish line of the racing!
Yummy refueling at the course between sessions.
The Village also has a great training room for both us and the Olympic kayakers and canoeists, who will be racing the week after us. The pair and I got in some off-the-water training after getting to watch the awesome racing on the last day of the Tour de France!
Erging with the Sara(h)s and some of the Aussie men at the Village gym!
That's all for now from us getting ready to race. We're dialed in on our race preparations and practicing, which doesn't make for the most exciting blog posts, but which does make for all of us getting to the line knowing how prepared and focused we are on the work we've come here to do.
Team USA is almost all here now--the men's four and quad will be here tomorrow--and it is really exciting to be here, all together, getting ready to represent our country for the big one! Can't wait. Go USA!
Final stages of packing (for the OLYMPICS!!!) last night!
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of training, media, and packing! We are finally heading out today to London, and I can't wait to get there, train, and finally, finally RACE!

Port Arthur Memorial senior receiver Jhajuan Seales has switched his commitment from Houston to Oklahoma State, Seales said on Monday.
Seales visited Oklahoma State over the weekend and told the coaches Sunday that he wanted to play there.
"It's a great opportunity," Seales said. "Great conference, great facilities. I really enjoyed the campus. I'm excited."
The 6-foot-1 Seales verbally committed to the Houston on Jan. 15 but received an offer from Oklahoma State two days later.
Seales remained committed to the Cougars until this weekend.
Seales, who finished his senior year with more than 1,200 yards receiving, said Oklahoma State wants him to play outside receiver and says he has a chance to play right away. Seales caught 54 passes for 1,207 yards and 13 touchdowns. He returned two kicks for touchdown. He was a first-team all-district selection and made the Beaumont Enterprise's Super Gold first team.
Assistant coach Kasey Dunn had been recruiting Seales for the Cowboys.
"I like his personality and enthusiasm," Seales said of Dunn.
Seales said the coaches at Houston were disappointed but congratulated him on his commitment to the Cowboys, who finished the season ranked third in the nation.
Seales, who runs a 4.4-second 40-yard dash, had no scholarship offers until the end of the season. In addition to Oklahoma State and Houston, Seales had offers from UNLV, Northwester State, Stephen F. Austin and Lamar.
He is the fourth Division I commit from Port Arthur Memorial this year that will be playing in a BCS conference.
Highlights of Seales:

Homily for Easter Wednesday on Luke 24, 13-35
Rembrandt (1606-1669) The Supper at Emmaus. 1648. Oil on wood. Louvre, Paris, France
Jesus had twelve Apostles, but he also had many other followers whom he called disciples. Jesus walked with his two of these disciples, Cleopas and his companion, along the road to Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. St. Mark alludes to this event in his Gospel which St. Luke recounts with more details.
The disciples are downhearted, because they believed Jesus would free them from the power of the Romans, and they think he remains dead. Jesus wanted to comfort them and bring them to true faith in him and then to be his witnesses. But as they walked along, the disciples did not recognize him.
Jesus gradually reveals the resurrection to them. First, he explains all that referred to him in the Scripture. He showed how the promised Messiah would have to suffer, but then die and rise again.
As Catholics, we believe that the Scripture is the inspired Word of God, but we must understand Scripture as the Church understands it. Before there was a New Testament, there was the Church. The Church encourages us to read Sacred Scripture. In fact, St. Jerome said "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ."
As they are fed with the Word, Cleopas and his companion have new and lasting hope. Jesus pretends to continue along the road, but his disciples plead with him by saying "Stay with us." Still, they don't recognize him. It is only when he took the bread, blessed and broke it that the disciples recognized Jesus. The "breaking of the bread" was a term the early Christians used to describe the Eucharist.
At every Mass, Catholics have an experience similar to these disciples. First, we are fed with the Word of God. Then we are fed with the Eucharist in which we receive Jesus in his body, blood, souls and divinity.
The Eucharist is the source and summit of our lives. (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, 11). It is the source, because Jesus says "Apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15, 5). He also says "Unless you eat my body and drink my blood. You have no life in you" (John 6:53).
The Eucharist is the summit, because there is no more perfect union with Jesus which we can experience on this earth than receiving him in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus says "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him" (John 6, 56).
The Eucharist is a pledge of eternal life. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that when we receive Jesus in the Eucharist worthily, he helps to separate us from sin, cleanses us of venial sins, strengthens virtue, prevents future mortal sins, renews, strengthens and deepens our incorporation into the Church – Christ's Mystical Body, compels us to work for unity among Christians and commits us to the poor. The most vulnerable of the poor are the unborn babies, whose lives are not respected, or protected, and are threatened by the violence of abortion. The Eucharist should commit us to building a culture of life, and protecting human life at all stages of development and conditions.
The disciples were strengthened through the Word which Jesus explained to them. They recognized Jesus in the "breaking of the bread". Now they return to Jerusalem to let the Eleven remaining Apostles know what has happened. When we leave the Mass we go into the world. We should seek opportunities to tell people what God has done for us, and what happens at every Mass, when we have an opportunity to be fed by the Word of God, to be united with Our Lord and Savior in the Eucharist and to receive him who is our pledge of eternal life.

Yesterday, my Samsung Focus stopped working properly.
I plugged it to the wall for hours, the battery icon showed that it was plugged, but the battery level did not raise. If I unplugged the phone, an immediate message of "Battery critically low" appeared.
After reading some posts, I realized that the battery was in fact being charged, but the OS was not "reading" the battery level correctly.
In my case, as in many others, it was fixed by simply entering the Diagnostics mode of the Samsung Focus, to directly read the "actual" battery level. After that, everything is back to normality.
1.- To enter Diagnostics mode, open the phone keypad and enter: ##634#
2.- To access battery information (and others), type *#2*# in the next keypad that will appear.
And that´s all.

DALLAS (AP) -- Southwest Airlines is making a 180-degree turn and raising fares on many routes by up to $10 per round trip.
The self-proclaimed low-fare airline declined to match a $10 increase by United Airlines earlier this week, helping force United to roll back prices.
But on Friday, Southwest raised fares $2 each way for trips under 501 miles, $3 each way for 501 to 1,000 miles, and $5 each way for longer trips.
Brad Hawkins, a spokesman for Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co., says the reason is simple: The airline's costs are rising.
J.P. Morgan analyst Jamie Baker says Southwest started by raising prices on a limited number of flights, then broadened the increase and included flights by its AirTran Airways subsidiary. He expects most other airlines will match it by Saturday.

Let's go out on a limb here. As a serious genealogist and researcher for a great many years, I would venture to say that over half of the genealogists that do American Family History Research, do not take FULL advantage of ALL of the various State Censuses and Substitutes that are available.
That being said, let's ask why not?
The simple answer is that until now researchers have never had one place to search in order to determine just what might be available for the area and the time period that they are studying.
Well that has all changed! William Dollarhide, friend of all genealogists, has compiled another excellent research tool!
"Census Substitute & State Census Records…" Volume 1 – Eastern States and Volume 2 – Western States, 2008, with Foreword by Leland K. Meitzler.
The Chapters are arranged by regions, such as for Volume 1; The Old Southwest, New England, Mid-Atlantic States, The Old South, The Old Northwest, The Central Plains. Volume 2 contains; Texas & Oklahoma, California & Nevada; Alaska & Hawaii, Nuevo Mexico, The Mountain West, and the Oregon Country.
At the start of each chapter there is a chronology of historical events and then there is an explanation of the particular Census Substitute or State Census that was created at that time. This is very beneficial to put you in the right frame of mind to think about "Gee, I wonder how this affected my ancestors, and I wonder if I might find them in this list?"
There are too many to count, but I would guess that there are thousands of places listed here that you have never heard of or would have ever thought to look for. There are source citations for each entry giving usually the Family History Library catalog number, or other location where these items will be located.
A suggestion to the beginning genealogists, "USE THIS BOOK!" A suggestion to the veteran researcher, "Go back over everything that you have done to date, and then USE THIS BOOK!" You are going to be amazed at what you missed. If you have been gathering just what was available on the U.S. Federal Censuses every ten years, you have missed mountains of evidence!
Of particular interest to Upstate New York Genealogy researchers is Leland Meitzler's poignant discussion in the Foreword regarding New York State politics and greed surrounding the 1925 New York State Census.
Mr. Dollarhide has authored several other excellent research tools such as; "Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Census," "Map Guide to American Migration Routes," and several others, of which his "New York State Censuses & Substitutes" was reviewed on our website and Blog at www.unyg.com and given Five Stars!
William Dollarhide, "Census Substitute & State Census Records, An Annotated Bibliography of Published Name Lists for all 50 U.S. States and State Censuses for 37 States," Volume 1 – Eastern States and Volume 2 – Western States, 2008, Published by Family Roots Publishing Company of Bountiful, Utah, with Foreword by Leland K. Meitzler. www.familyrootspublishing.com

. Posts are part of a blog and appear in reverse-chronological order (newer items displayed first).
On the other hand, pages are meant to be static "one-off" type content such as your about page, contact page, privacy policy, etc.
By default, WordPress shows your blog posts on the front page of your website. You can change that, and make WordPress show any page as the front-page of your website (we'll show you how to do that later in this guide).
You can create a separate page for your blog or news section. In fact, you can create a website without any blog section at all.
Having said that, let's add some content to your website.
You'll start by adding a few pages to your WordPress site. Don't worry if you don't have enough content for these pages at the moment. You can always edit and update them.
Head over to Pages » Add New page in WordPress admin area. This will bring you to the page editor screen, which looks like this:Pages » Add New
First you need to provide a title for your page, let's call this page 'Home'.
After that you can add content in the text editor below. You can add text, links, images, embed videos , audio, etc.
After adding content to your page, you can click on the publish button to make it live on your website.
You can repeat the process by adding more pages for different sections of your website. For example, an about page, contact us, and a blog page to display blog posts.
Now let's add a few blog posts as well.
Head over to Posts » Add New in your WordPress admin area.Posts » Add New
You will see a screen much like you saw earlier when adding pages.
You can add a post title and then add content in the visual post editor. You'll also notice some extra options like post formats, categories and tags .
You can click on the save button to store your post as a draft or click on the publish button to make it visible on your site.
For more detailed instructions on how to utilize all these options on post and page edit screens, please see our guide on how to add a new post in WordPress .
Now that you have created some content on your website, you will be able to customize and put it all in a nice presentable shape on your website.
Let's start by setting up a static front Page.

CANCELED Three to eight inches of snow ispredicted for many parts of Iowa on Wednesday.Therefore IARA is canceling Wednesday's rally,Now to November. But our fight is far from over! We will keep you posted on upcoming initiatives to hold legislators accountable for their silence on 14 bills introduced by Senator David Johnson – including SB […]
At any given time, the state of Iowa has over 20 million pigs (1), more than 40 million egg-laying hens (2) and 1.9 million broker chickens (3) that are predominately confined on over 9000 factory farms. (4)
Factory farms can have a myriad of impacts on air, water, and public health documented in over 50 years of respected, peer-reviewed studies. The state is incapable of adequately regulating the factory farms we currently have. We don't need more!
It's time to reclaim the rich agricultural heritage of our state, and recognize that factory farms are industrial facilities, not agricultural ones. Therefore,
The Iowa Alliance for Responsible Agriculture calls for a statewide moratorium on new or expanding factory farms until Iowa has less than 100 polluted waterwaysWhy Iowa Needs a Factory Farm Moratorium NOW
Help us fight CAFOs and take back farming!
Factory farms pose an ongoing threat to Iowa's waterways. Raw, untreated hog sewage can contaminate waterways through field runoff, spills, and cracks in confinement pits.
Many governmental and health organizations point to the overuse of antibiotics in industrial livestock production as a significant factor in the antibiotic resistance crisis we face.
Factory farms are unnatural environments for livestock. The close, cramped quarters prevent animals from exhibiting natural behaviors and instead create high levels of stress and suffering.
Iowa state law provides factory farmers with a property tax exemption for their confinement pit, calling it a "pollution control device."
There are many differences between traditional, independent family farms that raise livestock outdoors and factory farms that confine animals their entire lives.
Neighbors living near factory farms often experience noxious odors, swarms of flies, and dust that drive them indoors and make it difficult to enjoy their homes and property.
The toxins produced from putrefying manure in factory farms causes a multitude of health problems, ranging from respiratory to central nervous system ailments.
Over 150 gases are produced at factory farms from decaying manure that is stored 6 month to a year at a time. Noxious odors can greatly affect the quality of life and health and neighbors.
Factory farms have displaced independent, traditional farmers, weaken rural economies, and placed a huge burden on county budgets to fix roads damaged by heavy truck traffic.
Studies consistently show that significant percentages of livestock and poultry products in retail food markets are contaminated with a variety of infectious bacteria.

The mannequin in the pale gold and embroidered silk gown stands in a corner of the gallery.
Her head-to-toe ensemble of the same color is highlighted by identical fruit patterns woven into her gown's delicate fabric. She also wears a cotton and taffeta French hat while toting a parasol. The display is supposed to evoke a female passenger in First Class on her way to tea aboard the R.M.S. Titanic.
The gown, circa 1916, is an original outfit. The real-life woman who designed it was known as Lucile, Lady Duff Gordon. A prominent figure in the world of high fashion in that period, she was among the most privileged class of passengers aboard the Titanic when the ship went down in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg on April 15, 1912, taking more than 1,500 souls with it.
"She did survive the sinking of the Titanic and went on to do amazing things and find great success," said Christine Johnson, associate curator of the Fashion Institute of Designing and Merchandising (FIDM) Museum.
On Saturday, the eve of the centennial of the Titanic's sinking, the Los Angeles-based FIDM will unveil at its Orange County satellite campus in Irvine the "adDRESSING Titanic" exhibit, which features women's haute couture garments that were in vogue in the years around 1912.
"This is literally the very last of a time period where you had a complete disregard for what you would call the lower classes — people could be used up, basically," said Kevin Jones, the museum's curator who has pulled together the exhibit that will stay up through August.
"You know, if you were the cream of the crop ... you got to wear these types of garments ... " he added. "The Titanic is considered really the death knell of this kind of Edwardian, Victorian era, where there was a great deal of advancement in technology … but the human side of it had not caught up to it yet."
The tea outfit is the sole one designed by Lucile among a set of nine period ensembles that will go on display. None of the outfits — all originals — were aboard the doomed ocean liner, but somehow they survived the test of time and appear to be in excellent condition.
"Any one of these dresses could have been onboard the Titanic, if the circumstance had worked itself out," said Jones. "None of these were meant to last, and yet they did. For some reason, they're all accidents of survival."
He will give a presentation Saturday morning on the history of the pieces and how they might have fit into the context of the Titanic, then lead visitors paying $100 a ticket on a tour of the gallery.
The outfits are in fine condition, thanks to the late Helen Larson. The Los Angeles historian spent 50 years — from 1946 to 1996 — amassing a private collection of 1,100 vintage garments, including some that date back to 1610, which she archived and preserved in her tract home in Whittier, Jones and Johnson said.
FIDM's Fashion Council is trying to acquire the Helen Larson Historic Fashion Collection, valued at $2.5 million.
Saturday's event will be a fundraiser for the campaign, said Mima Ransom, a Newport Beach resident and instructor at FIDM O.C. who founded and chairs the Fashion Council.
"We want the people who will be rallying [around the campaign] to see the pieces and see how exquisite they are," Ransom said.
Through the show, Jones has combined his historical expertise on high fashion with a lifelong fascination of the great White Star Line ship's story.
Had she been a passenger in First Class aboard the Titanic, the woman in Lucile's tea-time gown would have dressed in this type of outfit particularly for that occasion — as she would have done for other occasions during her days on the vessel.
For one, ladies traveling in First Class would have worn "boarding" suits as they crossed the gangplank before the ship departed from Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912. They would have changed into promenading gowns, hats and gloves before strolling along the ship's decks and would have put on an even more glamorous outfit for dinner, Jones and Johnson explained.
"That is what First Class people were used to," Jones said, referring to the luxuriously appointed First Class cabins and common areas. "It was an everyday aspect of their life, and the same thing with their clothing."
Other examples in "adDRESSING Titanic" include a pair of dinner gowns made respectively by Beer and Doucet, two French haute couture designers from the period.
"It's so rare to have a collection of this magnitude and importance that has not been absorbed by other institutions already, so to have the opportunity to acquire this is very exciting for us," Jones said.

Nanowires prefer Deep Purple
Silicon nanowires grow more densely when blasted with Deep Purple than any other music tested, says an Australian researcher.
But the exact potential of music in growing nanowires remains a little hazy.
David Parlevliet, a PhD student at Murdoch University in Perth, presented his findings at a recent Australian Research Council Nanotechnology Network symposium in Melbourne.
Parlevliet is testing nanowires for their ability to absorb sunlight in the hope of developing solar cells from them.
One way he grows the nanowires involves blasting a voltage through silane gas to produce a plasma that pulses on and off 1000 times a second.
Over time, this enables molecules from the gas to deposit on a glass slide in the form of a mesh of crystalline silicon nanowires.
Parlevliet is aiming for nanowires that grow long and straight and cover the entire surface of the slide in a tight mesh to ensure maximum absorption.
Musical preferences
Parlevliet says one day his supervisor wondered what would happen if the usual method of generating the pulsed plasma was replaced with music instead.
After a very long morning in the lab listening to the radio waiting for nanowires to grow, Parlevliet says he worked out a way to investigate the matter.
"Instead of using the pulse from the pulse generator, I plugged the music player in," he says.
Parlevliet tested the effect of Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water', Chopin's 'Nocturne Opus 9 No 1', Josh Abrahams' 'Addicted to Bass', Rammstein's 'Das Modell' and ABBA's 'Dancing Queen'.
He even tested an ABC Dr Karl podcast for comparison.
Parlevliet found the mesh of nanowires deposited on his glass slide was most dense when he played them Deep Purple and least dense when he played them music by the German metal band Rammstein.
"They didn't really like Rammstein very much, probably due to the volume differences in it," he says.
Kinky nanowires
Music produces a rapidly changing pitch and amplitude signals, says Parlevliet. And this can make for an unstable plasma that isn't good for growing straight nanowires.
This means there's a downside to Deep Purple.
"The kinkiest samples were produced by 'Smoke on the Water'," he says.
In fact Parlevliet says, overall music didn't produce a better crop of nanowires than the standard method of pulse generation.
"The nanowires don't really like music as opposed to the standard signal," he says.
But should a use for kinky nanowires be found one day, the technique to make them could be waiting on an mp3 player near you.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh police have filed simple assault and conspiracy charges against three University of Pittsburgh football players over an incident last month.
Police on Thursday charged running back Ray Graham, receiver Devin Street and defensive back Lafayette Pitts in connection with an Oct. 21 incident involving three other students, one of whom reported he was hit in the head.
A preliminary hearing for all three men is scheduled for Jan. 9. Summonses were issued Thursday.
Graham, of Elizabeth, N.J., is the Panthers' leading rusher with 622 yards and seven touchdowns. Street, of Bethlehem, is the team's leading receiver with 50 catches for 695 yards and four scores. Pitts, of East Pittsburgh, is also the team's top kick-returner.
Court records don't list attorneys for the men. An email sent to a Pitt athletics spokesman wasn't immediately returned Friday.

The U.S. population is getting grayer. Learning how to profit from an aging demographic can be a minor form of consolation set against time's merciless tick-tock.
Playing population trends is a foundation for many investable themes—for example, the population boom in the developing world and the rise of its consumer class. The so-called gray wave in the U.S. will continue to grow, too. Currently, 13 percent of the U.S. population is 65 or older, according to U.S. Census data. By 2030, that number will rise to 18 percent of the nation as 10,000 baby boomers retire every day up until then. They'll need new knee replacements, along with an array of new and old drugs as they age.
Investors will benefit from this graying of America, and exchange-traded funds are a diversified way to target the trends associated with an aging demographic.

At Formtek we recently had a request to customize Alfresco Share for synchronizing document header properties with corresponding metadata for documents stored in Share.
I'm not able to share the code from the project here, but I thought that outlining the basic concept of the project here would serve as an example of some of the things which are possible to implement within Share.
There were a number of requirements for this project, but two two of the core ones were:
I'm not able to share the code from the project here, but I thought that outlining the basic concept of the project here would serve as an example of some of the things which are possible to implement within Share.
There were a number of requirements for this project, but two two of the core ones were:
- Synchronize on uploads and metadata updates the properties of Microsoft Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint all versions) and PDF files with corresponding metadata for the document in Alfresco.
- Provide a method for 'publishing' a synchronized document into another location as a PDF. The file header of the published document should bring along with it the values for the Alfresco metadata at the time the document was published.
When I talk about file content header properties, I'm referring to the types of properties that can be set in the header of Microsoft Office and PDF files. For example, the next figure is a screenshot in Microsoft Word 2010 for setting the standard (Title, Author, keywords, and subject) properties and custom properties.
Properties and custom properties can be similarly defined in PDF files.
Property Extraction on File Upload
When one of these files with properties/custom properties is uploaded into Alfresco, the document that is created captures this additional data based on a mapping properties file that is configured.
Within Share, the metadata would get mapped to something similar to the following panel view of the property data in the Share document detail window.
In this case, the mapping file that specifies how mapping from the content file to the Alfresco metadata properties is as follows:
Property Updates on Alfresco Metadata Edits
This mapping of properties on upload resembles standard Alfresco property extraction, or a special version of it that also accepts and knows how to map the custom property values. But what is different is that two way synchronization with the properties in the file also occurs. Note that the mapping also correctly handles the datatypes in the mapping, like boolean, text, number and date.
The property mapping is bi-directional so that when properties are updated in Alfresco, the electronic file associated with the document will be rewritten. That means that the next time the document is downloaded, the properties in the file will be consistent with the corresponding properties in Alfresco.
Publishing to PDF
When a synchronized file is rendered as a PDF file and 'published', the user can select the location of a folder in the current or different Share site. Actually for our customization, we call the 'publish' action 'transfer' to avoid confusion with the 'Publish' action already available in Share.
The user clicks on the 'Transfer to...' action for the document to start the process.
After that the user selects the target location of the published PDF document using a re-engineered Copy/Move to dialog from Share:
The rendered PDF file is then available as a new document in the target location.
When we download the file associated with this document and open it into Adobe Reader, we can examine the settings of the file properties.
The standard properties in the newly created PDF file are shown as:
And custom properties are seen here:
Tracking Published Documents
Within the original document, we also keep track of when the document has been published. A panel in the document details page in Share for the original document now shows how many times the document has been published/transferred and to where.

There was a crucial dialogue going inside my mind before I make a decision to go to South Korea, as an international student from Nepal. Certainly making the decision was not an easy task for me because Korea as a country was not my first destination for my Master degree, although the MAINS curriculum was my first priority. Mostly what I heard about Korea was that most of the subjects are undertaken in Koreans (although it says that it is in English) for both Koreans and international students. I always wanted to go to the western countries especially English speaking countries and study the same course. Since there is no MAINS program in western countries, my husband, Jeevan Baniya recommends me to join the program in South Korea and ensure that it is in English.
Living and studying a year in Korea is absolutely incredible experiences that have opened my eyes to a complete new world. I found MAINS as a unique academic institution, not only because the curriculum is in English but MAINS itself is a product of civil society organizations. Now I can say without any hesitation that this is the institution I wanted and have been seeking to study. If I was not here for my Master degree, I can never experience anywhere not even in western countries.
Let me first begin with MAINS course that has been designed to balance between theory and practice. I feel myself empowered from the courses; I have attended with the profound study of human rights, civil society, democracy, peace and security studies, social movements, feminism and many more. I have found MAINS program related with everything as the study of human affairs and creating a just society. All the students who have admitted in this program are either activists or practitioners and have some prior experiences in their respective field. Sharing the experiences related with the course from various countries broaden the understanding and enhance the curiosity of students.
On the other hand, the university has provides its every effort to ensure that the actual need of activists and practitioners would reflected in the curriculum. During our second semester, I have some rare opportunities to explore, critically understand and interact with Korean civil society organizations and learn their activities. I am really fascinated and overwhelmed by the activities undertaken by Korean civil society. All of these activities has shown and enlightened me on Korean society. You can find my opinions about Korean CSOs here in my blog (http://sunitabasnet.blogspot.com ).
Similarly, while studying at MAINS and attending several conferences that are encouraged, recommended and supported by the university provide me lots of eye-opening experiences in my life. It not only help me broaden my knowledge but also lend a hand to network with likeminded people around the globe. Even the MAINS students from various countries are very caring and endless network. For instance, last month there was a flood in Thailand and all the MAINS students contributed to support the victims by organizing the fundraising campaign. The most interesting things were it was not just the students who care each other but also the MAINS faculties, staffs and board members who actively participated to support our initiative.
You will never have problem on making friends, although young generation in Korea are little shy to make friends so making Korean friends is a difficult task in Korea especially if you are from developing countries. Several times a total stranger has abruptly asked me, "Where I am from?" and once I answer that I am from Nepal, the conversation just ends there. I am not saying that making Korean friends is impossible. I have few but very good and helpful friends. However, you will have opportunities to make friends from neighboring countries and some of your Korean fellows in the class.
Staying in a dormitory and sharing a room with two other friends from Burma and Thailand has been a productive experience to understand and respect other culture, lifestyle, and tolerance and improve my English to some extent (since none of them speak in Nepali). Traveling to Korean itself provides an education that one cannot get from any book or receive from any university. Therefore, this is the university I would recommend if you are seeking to work for people and together looking for pursuing your Master Degree.

BEIJING, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese and U.S. diplomats for Korean Peninsula affairs will exchange views on denuclearization and resumption of the six-party talks, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday.
U.S. special envoy for Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Policy Glyn Davies arrived in Beijing late Sunday on the first leg of a trip that will take him to the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan this week.
In Beijing, Davies had talks with Chinese officials, including Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui and his counterpart Wu Dawei, spokesman Qin Gang told a regular press conference.
Davies last visited the three countries in November. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Daniel Russel, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs visited the same countries last week.
The six-party talks between the DPRK, the ROK, the United States, China, Japan and Russia, have been suspended since late 2008.
Seoul and Washington have demanded Pyongyang show sincerity about denuclearization before they return to the table.
DPRK's ambassador to the United Nations, Sin Son-Ho, on Friday repeated a conciliatory message to the ROK, but demanded cancellation of the annual U.S.-ROK military drills scheduled to start in late February.

I noticed in dist-upgrade that swat was to be removed. Later on noticed samba 4 left experimental and arrived to unstable. Reading the changelog I found that swat is now absolete
samba (2:4.0.6+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Team upload.
[ Andrew Bartlett ]
* Converted to full AD DC package on the basis of the 3.6 package
- Samba now can be an Active Directory Domain controller
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Make samba-common Conflicts: swat, which is now obsolete and no longer
built from samba 4.0; the old versions of swat in the archive are
incompatible with smb.conf from samba 4.0, so force them off the system
to avoid configuration corruption.
-- Ivo De Decker <ivo> Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:51:49 +0200
What can be used now instead of swat? What actually is an Active Directory Domain controller and what changes are needed to be taken? I depend a lot of samba so I need to be careful with this transition.

SWAT seems to have already declared itself unmaintained and (partially) insecure even before this (in debian anyway).
SWAT is no longer actively maintained, and its default configuration is
not secure for use over an untrusted network. SWAT will also rewrite
smb.conf, rearranging the entries and deleting all comments as well as
include= and copy= options, so is not suitable for use in conjunction
with hand-edited smb.conf files or the default package-managed
I don't think there is anything in debian to admin samba4.
exists out there but appears not to have seen an update in 10 months (it does seem to have been around since 2007 though so maybe it's not in terrible shape). I may have missed it, but it doesn't seem to have had any noise about packaging in debian though (yet, the appearance of samba4 in sid may prompt it for all I know). It does appear though that swat is being killed upstream by samba also and not replace by this swat2, so I think for now there may be no sane options for an admin tool. webmin might do it, but was removed from debian in 2006 and I really don't think it is sane.
Probably the only sane option for now with samba4 is configuring smb.conf manually. Maybe someone else who really uses samba will have some ideas though?
The wikipedia entry on
Active Directory
will do a better job then me of attempting to explain AD and its Domain Controller.
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service implemented by Microsoft for Windows domain networks. It is included in most Windows Server operating systems.
An AD domain controller authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in a Windows domain type network—assigning and enforcing security policies for all computers and installing or updating software. For example, when a user logs into a computer that is part of a Windows domain, Active Directory checks the submitted password and determines whether the user is a system administrator or normal user.

So the transition went fine. However, in my main Windows 7 machine the shares won't work again.
If I use Windows Explorer it asks me for authentication. However, if I use a linux machine with
smbclient //localhost/sharename -N
it works fine. If I use the same Windows 7 machine with another profile Windows Explorer works fine. If I use another Windows 7 machine, it also works. It even works in my phone with a Samba app.
It just doesn't work in my main-work Windows profile. I'm guessing is because I had mapped those shares. I've tried to remove those mapping without success
C:\Windows\System32>net use z: /delete
The network connection could not be found.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2250.
C:\Windows\System32>NET HELPMSG 2250

Check my next reply
[not the real solution]
I added /persistent:yes to reassign the mapping, delete it, and reassigned one more time without "/persistent"
(or should I use /persistent?)
But I still wonder why I couldn't use \\COMPUTERNAME\ in Windows Explorer

I've been reading up on the change to samba4 and there are a few topics that I'm not sure apply. Namely Active directory and Samba4 as DNS. Personally I want my router to be the DNS so any facility within Samba4 that provides DNS should point to the router. Understandably there are few examples on the web about Samba4. If someone who knows samba4 well could document a transition, and show an example smb.conf file I'd appreciate it. I'd also like to completely remove samba and reinstall samba4. For information, I have aptosid running as a desktop / media server using samba. The network includes a win7 laptop, a rpi xbmc, and several android devices.

I had problems with other devices, and it turns out that putting the workgroup name as user was enough to authenticate

Colourworks Media needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 102 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Your task will be to design a great looking design for the Colourworks Designs Brand... Colourworks Designs is an international web, print, and logo design company...
Colourworks Designs - "Where Vision and Canvas Align"
I'm sure you're asking "why have someone else design your logo?"... The facts are: our vision is clouded, we're too busy and our design scope is not large or varied enough to feel comfortable in establishing our global brand for all markets.
We're a UK-based company interested in a design that is classy, yet professional enough to gain corporate level clients' interest. However, we can't look like we're the most expensive company in existence either, as one of niche markets will be those who are budget concious and need a great design for a reasonable price.. This a tough challenge and only the skillful should apply.
Our logo needs to be print-ready for business cards and other print screen media... Probably best to do this in a vector program, illustrator, or fireworks...
We have no restrictions on the amount of color used, but understand a monochromatic design will not fit the name of our brand.. in other words, don't design it in black and white or greyscale and tell us it looks good. The logo needs a vibrant feel, but not so overpowering you need 'shades'...
Currently we are developing our website and have not settled on a color or branding style for obvious reasons...
Creative Designers we need your help! The winner may be asked to design our stationary and identity packages.
We'll provide feedback almost hourly and may end the contest early if something just "knocks us off our feet" !
We requires source files at time of payment... Additional opportunities available for strong print media designers.
Thank you and We Appreciate Everyone's Efforts!!!
Thanks & Good Luck

Hidden gems on the Oregon Coast Range: 100-foot waterfalls
The Coast Range is not famous for waterfalls.
Within the green and blue mosaic of rolling mountains, you'll find patches of old-growth trees, silver streams and a lush rainforest of wildlife and plants.
But waterfalls?
The few that drop through the Coast Range rarely eclipse 40 feet and are certainly no match for the thundering majesty of cascades in the Columbia River Gorge or Silver Falls State Park.
Except, hidden in a remote canyon of mist-soaked mountains, at the end of gravel roads filled with potholes the size of swimming pools, is a trio of waterfalls that can challenge anything in Oregon.
The Kentucky Falls Trail, southeast of Florence, combines coastal lushness with the raw power of water dropping more than 100 feet. If the name feels out of place, than so do the cascades, two of which thunder side-by-side in one of the state's most spectacular hideaways.
The trail is moderately strenuous at 4.4 miles round-trip, dropping (and then climbing back up) a total of 825 feet. Kentucky Falls Trail connects with the North Fork Smith River Trail to form what a few years ago was among the state's most impressive routes.
Sadly, a devastating series of storms and high water events knocked out two of the bridges on the North Fork Trail and left it in ragged condition. (The Forest Service hopes to raise enough money to fix the bridges by next year).
Still, it's possible for adventurous types to continue up to 10 miles on the combined trails during a longer hike or backpacking trip.But no matter how you choose to experience the Kentucky Falls area, just reaching the trailhead is half the battle.
The drive
A common theme when it comes to visiting the Coast Range's most beautiful places is the pain-in-the-butt drive that's required.The Valley of the Giants, home to some of Oregon's largest and oldest trees, is only 33 miles from Salem as the crow flies but a whopping two hours and 15 minutes of driving on a maze of logging roads.
Kentucky Falls Trail demands even more time in the car and a similar adventure on unmarked logging roads where a wrong turn could lead to a serious amount of confusion.
The exciting part of the drive starts off Highway 126 west of Eugene, following the Siuslaw River and Whittaker Creek, climbs almost 2,700 feet past active logging, clear-cuts and a peak apparently called "Roman Nose" where the views spread across the rolling lumps of the Coast Range.
While logging trucks barreling down the road are the greatest danger, and there's a bit of white-knuckle exposure near the highest point, the biggest annoyance are massive potholes and a confusion of unmarked roads. Many people have been forced to turn around after getting lost on these roads.
Eventually, you'll reach a paved road that glides downhill to a wonderful little trailhead with picnic benches and an outhouse that registers a "moderately awful" rating on the stink-o-meter.
Double falls
Even in the most famous locations, you'll rarely see two different 100-foot waterfalls standing right next door to each other.
Yet in this canyon of black columnar basalt and thick mossy green, both North Fork Falls (120 feet) and Lower Kentucky Falls (100 feet) drop side-by-side, joining together in a crashing, misty pool where hikers can watch the show from an observation deck or scramble to a small island for a better view.
From the trailhead, the hike begins by entering a forest of old-growth Douglas fir and, during spring, passes wildflowers that include white trilliums and a multitude of smaller, red, gold and purple wildflowers.
At mile 0.6, the trail passes the first of three waterfalls — Upper Kentucky Falls — a multitiered giant that on any other hike would be the major highlight.
The trail crosses a pair of footbridges as it weaves downhill, the forest growing ever denser until it halts at a T-junction. To reach the two spectacular waterfalls, turn right.
Most people will check out the double waterfalls and go back the way they came to complete the 4.4 mile out-and-back hike.
But if you've got energy remaining, consider exploring the North Fork Smith River Trail. The scenery isn't quite as dramatic — that would hardly be possible — but the forest here is more lush and the trees larger.
The trail wasn't in great shape during my visit. It was clogged with downed trees and washed out in some areas.
Still, two smaller waterfalls and an absolutely gorgeous swimming hole await down this path, which heads about three miles before reaching the first knocked-out bridge.
The Coast Range is not a place famous for waterfalls, but on this remote trail, you'll find a collection that can challenge the state's most famous cascades.
