Zoo in You: The Human Microbome/ El microbioma humano A Summative Evaluation Report
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded OMSI funding during the spring of 2011 to create a 2,000 sq. ft. bilingual (English/Spanish) traveling exhibition exploring current research on the human microbiome and the impact of our resident microorganisms on our health. The exhibition was developed with the support of the J. Craig Venter Institute and other national experts in microbiome research. More information about the exhibition can be found at http://omsi.edu/exhibitions/zoo-in-you/. The Zoo in You Project Goals are to (1) Educate museum visitors and program participants about what the human microbiome is, and engage their curiosity and creativity about their own unique and personal microbiomes; and (2) to build awareness of current research on the human microbiome and the impacts of the microbiome on our personal health and disease.

View the Video of the TRIGEN INTERTAN Compression
Active linear compression helps unload the lateral wall and restore the proximal femur. Note: The INTERTAN compression screw is always against the nail. This makes medial migration and the Z-effect nearly impossible.

Trapezoidal nail shape

1. Rueger Johannes; Moore Chris. Shortening of the Femoral Neck Following Peritrochanteric Fracture. Bone & Joint Science. Vol. 2, No. 5, May 2011.
Why does the INTERTAN nail have a trapezoidal shape?
The smaller cross-section of the INTERTAN nail has the advantage of preserving the Gluteus Medius Tendon while at the same time not compromising the overall strength of the implant. The trapezoidal shape of the nail places more material at the lateral side of the implant where tensile forces are typically the strongest. In addition, the nail's trapezoidal profile also provides enhanced anatomical fit and added rotational stability in the proximal femoral metaphysis similar to that offered by conventional hip stems.
What is an Integrated Interlocking Screw configuration and how will it help my patients?
The integrated interlocking screws of the INTERTAN system increase stability and resistance to both intra and post-operative fracture rotation about the implant by providing two points of fixation within the femoral neck and head. This directly reduces rotational instability and eliminates the possibility of implant failure due to Z-Effect. The integrated screw configuration is a fourth generation intramedullary nail concept combining the enhanced rotational stability of the TRIGEN Reconstruction Nail with the superior controlled sliding and compression of the IMHS™ implant. The INTERTAN system incorporates the best aspects of both devices by providing both single and dual integrated lag screws for the treatment of most major fracture patterns.
What is Z-Effect and how does INTERTAN solve it?
Z-Effect is an unfortunate by-product of most intramedullary nails that utilise two screws placed up into the femoral neck and head. Typically, the superior screw is of smaller diameter than the inferior and bears a disproportionate amount of load during weight bearing. Excessive varus forces placed on the smaller screw at the lateral cortex cause it to toggle and either back out or migrate through the femoral head into the acetabulum. The larger inferior screw is neither keyed in rotation nor locked in place, and it too will either back out or migrate medially. The resultant Z-Effect where the two screws move in opposite directions is one mode of failure for the conventional two screw reconstruction device. The INTERTAN nail turns that construct upside down and integrates the two screws so that they act as one device to bear all load, enact all compression and prevent excessive medial or lateral migration thus negating the Z-Effect.
Why does the short nail have a clothespin distal tip?
The clothespin distal tip of the INTERTAN short nail reduces the overall cross-sectional stiffness of the implant to minimise the risk of iatrogenic fracture during insertion, to ease the actual process of nail insertion and to offer enhanced rotational stability within the proximal femoral canal. As the distal tip of the INTERTAN nail encounters the AP bow of the proximal femur, it closes slightly changing the implant's straight profile to bent. This has the advantage of lessening point stresses about the distal tip of the nail and reducing the possibility of fracture due to a stress riser at that location.
I have been using a single screw IM device for the last 20 years and have yet to have one cut out. Do I have to use the integrated screws?
Absolutely not. One of the advantages of the INTERTAN system is that it provides you with options to treat a wide variety of fracture patterns. However, you are probably well aware that approximately 25% of all hip fractures are unstable and one in five (20%) will actually fail due to implant cut out.
Our designing surgeons feel that rotational instability is a major contributing factor to that failure rate and propose the INTERTAN nail as the solution to this dilemma. The problem lies in the fact that even implants that are keyed to prevent rotation can still experience rotation of the fragments about the axis of the lag screw. Placement of a secondary point of fixation into the femoral neck and head reduces the chances of rotation but adds the secondary concern of Z-Effect.
Watch video of head rotations with a conventional single lag screw device
The INTERTAN nail solves that problem by integrating two screws so that they function as one unit to prevent rotation and excessive screw migration. Mechanical testing of the two screw construct was stopped at 100,000 cycles with no evidence of implant cut out, further reinforcing the INTERTAN nail philosophy.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints - 10/16/16 NFL Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Carolina Panthers (1-4) at New Orleans Saints (1-3)
NFL Football: Sunday, October 16, 2016 at 1:00 pm (Mercedes-Benz Superdome)
The Line: New Orleans Saints +2.5 -- Over/Under: 53 See the Latest Odds
Two struggling teams face off in the Superdome on Sunday as the New Orleans Saints host the Carolina Panthers in an NFC South show down.
The Panthers face a cross roads in their season after losing yet another game last weekend at home against the Tampa Bay Bucs and now head into New Orleans for a divisional show down against the Saints who are coming off a bye. Carolina hasn't looked the part of the defending NFC Champions and if they lose here they can pretty well kiss their chances of winning the division goodbye as the Falcons are rolling, and their playoff chances won't be too great either. The Cats do get Cam Newton back here who has been cleared after sitting out last weekend and that will make a world of difference against a Saints team that can't stop anybody on defense, let alone the reigning MVP and a dynamic a play maker as there is in the NFL.
USA TODAY Sports
The Saints meanwhile are coming off a bye week but were victorious the last time they took the field against the San Diego Chargers and will look to build on that win against the Panthers here. New Orleans still has a ton of weapons in the offensive zone as Drew Brees will look to knife through a Panthers secondary that has really missed Josh Norman this season and with Mark Ingram at his disposal in the back field he should have plenty of time to look down field for the likes of Cooks and Thomas.
The Panthers are 4-1 in their last five games during week six, 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall, and 0-6 in their last six road games while the Saints are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games in October, 7-2 ATS in their last nine games in week six, and 4-10-1 in their last 15 home games. The Panthers have been tough to watch lately but this looks like a rebound spot for them as the Saints defense is dreadful and while a divisional road game seems like a stretch I like the Panthers roster better than that of the Saints.

Kerri Bradford's blog this week! When she asked if I'd be interested in playing with some of her designs, I said YES and knew that tackling our short Chicago trip in August would be perfect with her travel themed product. I want to share my Project Life Summer Handbook pages today, but you can also read Kerri's post here.
Beautiful Somewhere and Tiny Details cards as a starting point for my spreads. Being in downtown Chicago, there was a lot of gray in my photos so the colors were a fun complement. The 6x8 script artwork on the right side above is from Matthew Taylor Wilson and was a gift included in a Studio Calico scrapbook kit a few months ago.
this set, and layered it over a Studio Calico grid card + a patterned card from the Beautiful Somewhere set and stitched along the diagonal.
Kerri's Here We Go freebie to 6x8 and then used the Silhouette to cut it out of vellum. Then I stitched it in place along the horizontal lines between the words. I love how it turned out!
Tiny Details : Calendar card and Monday cut from this set. I enlarged the calendar card to about 2" wide, then trimmed off the bottom half so I could just use the large number for the date. Add the day of the week, stitch it on, and I still had a little room below to add a short list of the places we visited that day.
this page protector to create an insert. Above, the 'enjoy summer' card is from this set from Ali Edwards. The 'his' and 'hers' stamps are from Elise Blaha Cripe and are no longer available. I used the Color Theory Mint Hint ink for those.
Sunny Day ink to stamp on and highlight the A for August on the calendar card.
Tiny Details card, folded it in half and stitched it to the side of the insert as a tab.
Thank you so much for having me Kerri! You can see all of my Summer Handbook blog updates here.

Inspired by her love of reading, Jessica Pih designed and implemented a program to promote reading enjoyment at the New Horizons Family Center in South Glendale. Jessica devised a weeklong curriculum for four different age groups to help the children with reading. Each day the children read a short children's book, participated in games, performed in front of a video camera, and completed a writing activity. By the end of the reading clinic, the children were thrilled to be "on television" and were more excited to read than ever!
Currently a sophomore at La Cañada High School, Jessica has been an active member of Girl Scouts since Daisies in kindergarten. In addition to Girl Scouts, Jessica serves on the LCHS ASB as Sophomore Class Treasurer and is a member of the Junior Statesmen of America. Jessica also plays soccer on the LCHS Girls Varsity Soccer team and plays year-round for Crescenta Valley Soccer Club. Academically, Jessica is a member of the National Honor Society and California Scholarship Federation. She is an active participant in the LA County Mock Trial Program, as well as Bridges. Off campus, she is an active member of her church. In her free time, Jessica enjoys eating, spending time with friends, scrapbooking, snowboarding, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding in the High Sierras. Of course, she also loves reading!

Letter From The Editor: Choosing A Procedure, A Physician, And At What Cost?
By Dr. Christopher Zachary, Zalea Editor-In-Chief
We all have a budget and it's important to tell your doctor what you can afford. They will then be able to tailor your treatment according to your financial ability, and you don't have to tackle everything on your cosmetic wish list immediately. It's not uncommon that a patient will tell me at the end of a consultation that they can get "this procedure" done more cheaply down the street. I never try to dissuade them from a second consultation.
The practice of medicine is not a commodity—like buying a Mars bar or a bottle of Moet Chandon champagne. The art of medicine is learned over decades, a constantly refining process, and as such it's erroneous to assume that a young MD or physician extender (RN, PA, NP) is going to be able to deliver the same quality of treatment as a seasoned specialist. And you are probably going to pay more for the latter.
Geographic considerations are also at play. New York City prices are going to be more than Lubbock, Texas, prices because of the high cost of running a practice in New York. But be aware that there are many 'practices' even in major cities where untrained and unlicensed individuals are injecting bogus material into people's faces (and other areas), which has resulted in permanent disfigurement and even death. And while there are many fine physicians south of the border, we see a regular stream of patients who have received less than optimal treatment there.
So how do you decide on your ideal aesthetic surgeon? Your primary care physician will likely have a very good idea about who is competent, safe and reliable. Word of mouth is a bit hit or miss. Check credentials. Where did they train to be a physician? Where did they receive their specialty resident training? Did they do a sub-specialty fellowship training? Have they published? Do they teach? Are they recognized nationally or internationally?
Navigating the many web sites that rate MDs is a precarious activity, and should probably be discussed in a separate Letter From The Editor. When all is said and done, you have to feel comfortable and confident with your chosen physician and their support staff. Just remember, all that glitters is not gold.

The rockerbox looked OK, just very dirty inside, but from the state of the pump I had to assume a lot of metal had been supplied to the rocker shafts. The spring cover bolts[1/4 BSW] had been replaced with 5/16 BSW, this meant there was barely any gasket surface in places and some of the 5/16 threads had gone. The bad threads had been replaced with nuts and bolts. So all the holes were welded up and all threads re-threaded 1/4 BSW, took a while but well worth it. I probably would have had a go sealing it all up with 5/16 bolts but I was going to have to re-machine the top as the rocker bores turned out to be a right state. I re-machined all the faces of the rocker covers.
The threaded holes were all welded up, it may sound a bit excessive but if you have to do a few you might as well do the lot, well the undamaged ones were left alone. There wasn't enough meat to Helicoil the damaged existing holes 5/16 BSW and having nuts and bolts holding the boxes together is very inconvenient . The only problem was I left one enlarged fixing not realising it had been enlarged and it's clear when i look at it it's wrong, annoys me whenever I see it. I surfaced the the faces of the rockerbox and was able to rebore the rocker shaft bores.
The picture above shows the top, before and after it had been 'vapor' blasted; poor mans vapor blasting, I put about 20cc of bead in a body schutz can of water. I was amazed how well it worked, it was quite quick[quicker than changing the media in the cabinet] and looks OK. The method needs a bit of development[large coolant pump and bead slurry?] but water and bead is obviously fairly easy to use together. The thing that was most amazing was how virtually no bead remained on the surface or in threads. As you can see I blasted the oil ways! When I went to re-assemble the head I cleaned the rockers and what do you know they had cracks radiating from the tappet adjusters! So add a pair of rockers to the parts list. The fasteners were all replaced, the bolts that hold the cover to the head all had badly distorted threads, the head threads looked sound though!

In contrast to Dragon Age Inquisition, the past two titles in the franchise allowed players to store their extra items inside special chests. There are always items that you might want to save for future use or somethings that just aren't for selling. Rather than disposing them because they are wasting your inventory space, simply store them inside these chests.
Since Dragon Age: Inquisition has no special storage feature, players have begun requesting for it on BioWare forums and the game's sub-Reddit. QA member Bryan Johnson came by one of these requests and replied that the request has been acknowledged but there's no guarantee when and if it will be fulfilled.
"We have noticed this is a fan want. Not sure if it will happen, but it has been acknowledged we have seen it," he said.
BioWare is currently busy with ironing out bugs and glitches from Dragon Age: Inquisition and so it's highly unlikely that the team moves its focus elsewhere.
However, that said, how hard can it be to provide a chest for storage? Players might get their request fulfilled sooner than expected.
Dragon Age Inquisition is now available for purchase on the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

Are You Insured?
>> Wednesday, September 8, 2010
Insurance has been around since time immemorial. It seemed to have appeared simultaneously with the appearance of human society. It is so ancient and manifested in the form of people helping people. Today, insurance is so widespread that almost any risk that can be quantified can be insured.
There are various types of insurance existing today and one or more types can be covered in a policy. For example, a business insurance policy can cover both professional liability insurance and the company group health insurance.
Auto or Vehicle Insurance
It protects the vehicle owner against financial loss in case of accidents. The insured agrees to pay the premium and the insurance company will in turn agree to pay the losses as stated in the policy.
Health Insurance
In most countries, health insurance is mandatory and mostly covers the cost for medical treatment. It can sometimes be coupled with dental insurance and is often part of an employer's benefit package for its employees. If you are startine a business with a number of employees, it would be best to get a group health insurance quote as it helps you save some money.
Home Insurance
This insurance provides compensation for damage or destruction of a house in case of disasters, i.e. fire, theft, flood or earthquakes. Some providers include in the package liability and legal responsibility for injuries and property damage caused by a household member or pets.
Life Insurance
It provides a monetary benefit to a decedent's family or other designated beneficiary, and may specifically provide for income to an insured person's family, burial, funeral and other final expenses. Life insurance policies often allow the option of having the proceeds paid to the beneficiary either in a lump sum cash payment or an annuity.
Liability Insurance
It covers the damage caused by you or your family to other persons or objects not belonging to you. Many insurance types include an aspect of liability coverage so you may ask your insurance provider about it.
Accident, Sickness and Unemployment Insurance
This type of insurance protects the insured in cases of accidents, inability to work due to sickness, job-related injury and disability, and unemployment.
There are other insurance types that cover other specific risks. We never know what will happen tomorrow so that it pays to get ourselves covered. Getting insured gives a sense of comfort and assurance that should something bad happen to us, the people affected won't need to suffer.

Micro-ripples on silt-dominated beds: observations at the glacier Austerdalsisen, Norway
Micro-ripples (wavelength 0.5-2.0 cm, amplitude less than 0.2 cm) form on silt-dominated beds at the margins of ephemeral stream channels in reworked glacial lake sediments as a result of unidirectional currents, oscillatory flow or both. Pulsation of flow and the presence of bed irregularities much larger than the dominant particle size result in local stress concentration, and micro-ripples may form even though the mean stress is below the theoretical threshold for the grain sizes involved. Grain shape and composition may be partly responsible for differentiation of crest and trough material. X-ray diffraction studies have confirmed that samples of sediments from micro-ripple troughs and crests at one site differ in mineralogical composition, and differences of grain size and shape are confirmed by scanning electron microscope investigations.

I have been reading a lot about libraries in the past few years. I have read that, because of the Internet and eBooks, they are likely to become extinct.
And then I read that "it is a big mistake to confuse the future of books or publishing with the future of public libraries. They are not the same."
I am inclined to believe this last statement. And as for the Internet, an increased public demand for more computers and other services in libraries seems to put the lie to the statement that they are about to be extinct.

RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH) announced that its chief financial officer, John Feray resigned due to personal reasons on September 12, 2014.
The stock price of the company is up by more than 13% to $1.03 per share at the time of this writing around 12:19 in the afternoon in New York.
RadioShack names interim CFO
The board of directors of the electronics retailer appointed Holly Etlin as interim CFO. According to RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH), Etlin is a longtime advisor of the company and previously served as interim CFO from July 12013 to February 2014. She serves as managing director at AlixPartners, LLP.
The 8K filing of RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicated that AP Services, LL, an affiliated of AlixPartners provides consulting services to the company. The appointment of Etlin as interim CFO is part of the company consulting arrangement with AP Services.
RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH) said Etlin's services as interim CFO are billed by AP Services, and she is not separately compensated by the company.
Quarterly financial performance
Last week RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH) released its second-quarter financial results and indicated that it is in the process of pursuing a comprehensive recapitalization option.
During the quarter, RadioShack Corporation posted $673.8 million in revenue, down from $861.4 million last year. Its comparable store sales declined 20% due to traffic declines and weak performance of its mobility business.
The electronics retailer said incurred $137 million losses from continuing operations or $1.35 losses per diluted share.
RadioShack CEO Joseph Magnacca emphasized that they had been working hard on the company's turnaround plan. According to him, the company may need additional capital, and they are in advanced discussions with a number of parties.
"We are also working with our key financial stakeholders, including our existing lenders, bondholders, shareholders and landlords seeking to create a long-term solution," said Magnacca.
According to him, such long-term solutions may include debt restructuring, store base consolidation program and other measures to reduce the company's cost structure significantly.
"Our entire team is focused on executing our vision, adapting to the environment, managing our balance sheet, and driving sustainable change," said Magnacca.
Earlier this month, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said bankruptcy reorganization was imminent for RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH), and the stock price of the company is worth $0.

W: www.airporttravelsouthwest.co.uk
The earliest reference to the town of Wellington is to be found in a grant made at the very beginning of the 10th century, where it was called "Weolingtun". In the Domesday Book, the name is "Walintone" and is administered by John the Usher for the Bishop of Wells. At this point, there were two mills and 17 cattle.
One local resident was Sir John Popham, who was a Lord Chief Justice of England taking part in the trials of Mary Queen of Scots, Guy Fawkes and Sir Walter Raleigh. His mansion in Wellington stood on what are now the Court Playing Fields but was destroyed during the English Civil War. There is a monument to him in Wellington Parish Church.
The town was also involved in the Monmouth Rebellion, when the secret of the Duke of Monmouth's advance was revealed at the Half Moon Inn in North Street, Wellington. This eventually led to Monmouth's defeat at Sedgemoor.
Arthur Wellesley took the title of Viscount Wellington of Wellington and Talavera in 1809. His title refers to this town in Somerset, where he had an estate. He later became Duke of Wellington. However, he is believed to have visited the town only once.
The 175 feet high Wellington Monument was built in his honour and is a major landmark in the area. It is on the highest point of the Blackdown Hills, on what was the Duke's own land, and is visible from many parts of the town. It was completed in 1892. There are superb views from the Monument across the Vale of Taunton to the Bristol Channel and Exmoor. Unfortunately, present concerns about the safety of the monument make it inadvisable to approach too close to it.
In the middle of the 19th century, the town was described as being well built and containing several streets, the chief of which was half a mile in length. At that time it had a town hall, a corn and provision market, a market house, a police station and a union workhouse. The main industry was the wool trade, but there were also brick, tile and agricultural implement manufacturers. In addition, there were coal mines and lime quarries in the area.
Today Wellington is a small country town situated between the River Tone and the lovely Blackdown Hills. In addition to the usual high street shops, it has a number of speciality shops supplying a wide range of goods. A farmers' market is held on the third Saturday of every month.
There are several pubs, cafés and restaurants, in addition to other amenities. Wellington Park was given to the town by the Fox family in 1903 and has recently been restored. The park is an example of late Victorian design. Wellington is close to the M5 motorway and there is plenty of holiday accommodation in the area. It makes an ideal centre from which to explore many parts of Somerset and North Devon

internet addiction;
Research is starting to show that Internet use can have a negative impact on our well being.
For example:
College students are saying, "I clearly am addicted and the dependency is sickening…media is my drug." There is a clear problem at hand.
"The Internet 'leads to behavior that people are conscious is not in their best interest and does leave them anxious and does make them act compulsively,' says Nicholas Carr, whose book The Shallows, about the Web's effect on cognition, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
[The Internet] 'fosters our obsessions, dependence, and stress reactions,' adds Larry Rosen, a California psychologist who has researched the Net's effect for decades. It 'encourages—and even promotes—insanity.'"
Dissociative identity disorder, cycles of mania and depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ADHD, treating real life as "just another window" on a computer screen, exhaustion, addictive behavior, and psychosis are all potential outcomes of too much Internet use.
Brain scans reveal that Web use, even as little as five hours, can fundamentally alter part of the brain. "The brains of Internet addicts, it turns out, look like the brains of drug and alcohol addicts," says Dokoupil.
The message, though debated, is clear. Too much time spent online can have negative, physical consequences. Parents should be cautious for themselves as well as their children.
Can you or your tech-savvy kids relate to any of the behaviors mentioned in the Newsweek article? For parents who wish to safeguard their children from the potential dangers of excessive Web use, time management controls can be a valuable tool.
Decide where the Internet fits into your life: make conscious decisions, set boundaries, and utilize the benefits of technology without letting it take over.
I work for ContentWatch and all opinions expressed here are my own.

The world will exist in spite of turmoils!
The Holy Cross!
The will of God is Supreme!
When something is taken out from something, there is no depletion to the original source! How it is possible? Yes, I will give a small example here. From one lamp, many lamps are lit but the original flame remains the same. In the Veda, there is a stanza "Poornamada, Poornamidam Poornath Poornamudasyathe, Purnasya, Purnayama, Purnameva vasisyathe! The meaning is; "That is Full, This is Full, when something is taken out of the "fullness', what remains in only Full! The flame of the lamp above is one such example! Likewise, the Love of God, the grace of God, the bounty of God never diminishes even if millions take from them! Even the ocean has got some shores but God's love is a shoreless ocean!
We have read the story of Christ materializing many fishes and loaves of bread to feed around 5000 people when originally there were only five fishes and five loaves of bread! This is the effect of "Fullness" which manifested as Christ. Many may wonder, why Jesus submitted himself to the cruelties of some people. It is only a willing submission. He is aware that the Father in Heaven has willed so and hence those people who acted cruelly were mere instruments in the hands of God! He never harbored any hatred with any since he was above the body/mind complex and he has realized his oneness with Father! He knew what is going to happen as revealed in some ancient scriptures. Everything has happened as predicted and on the third day he ascended from the tomb and shown himself to some. When some disciple doubted about this he has shown the wound inflicted on his body during crucifixion (the nail marks with wound). Finally he ascended to merge in the Father in Heaven!
Whether people believe it or not, everything from the book of revelations become true! From this we can understand that the life of every individual evolves as chartered earlier and in a way in 'predestined manner' and nothing in the world is an 'accident' but they are 'incidents' willed by the Supreme One! Due to the advent of Christ, the world has some sort of order; otherwise it would have descended to abysmal depths beyond redemption! In spite of several disasters both man made and brought by nature they have not annihilated the human race from the face of the earth. Some people even predicted the end of the world during the end of the year 2012. No such thing has happened and the world will survive due the abundance of spirituality in every corner of the world. There are many pious people and noble souls who live in a silent way praying for the welfare of the world every moment. They do not pray for them. They are concerned about the welfare of the entire humanity. In spite of the proliferation of nuclear war heads throughout the world, no insane person has triggered a nuclear holocaust and none will do so! The creation is willed by the Lord and it will go on till he decides! I wish all my Christian brothers a happy observation of their religious vows commencing today!

CHICAGO – In the history of "Reality TV" there has been periods of up-and-down popularity, shows that have been around seemingly forever ("Big Brother," "Amazing Race") and spinoffs to new styles like "documentary series" as networks like the National Geographic Channel emerged. In all those permutations, producer Stephanie Buxbaum has experienced it all, and has the career and stories to prove it.
Video Game Review: 'F1 2012' is More Than You Bargained For
CHICAGO – Racing games typically come in two flavors: Simulation and Arcade. On the Arcade side you have the excellent "Burnout Paradise," "Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit," "Blur," and about a dozen more games that focus on the speed and excitement of driving a car as fast as possible, and don't really bother too much with things like braking systems, cornering, or legality. Many open world games also subscribe to this model for their driving. On the simulation side, you got games like "Forza Motorsport," "Project Gotham Racing", and the "Gran Turismo" series.
Video Game Rating: 3.5/5.0
As someone who's happily owned *both* "Burnout Paradise" and "Forza Motorsport 4," I can say with some authority that hands down "Burnout Paradise" is the more fun game. On the flip side, "Forza Motorsport" is a far more robust offering, and ultimately proves more rewarding in the long run because it challenges you in ways "Burnout Paradise" does not. Plus it has Jeremy Clarkson from "Top Gear" doing some narration, and he's a dreamboat, right ladies?
This brings us to Codemaster's racing threequel "F1 2012." This is a hardcore simulation: Tire wear, pit stops, 15 lap races that take well over two hours to play, a racing engineer chirping in your ear, controls that wouldn't feel that far out of place on an X-wing — all establish right off the bat that this is *not* a game to be taken lightly. The idea of being fully in control of every aspect of a car, from the braking system to the paint job, is the sort of experience that would cause an obsession I typically reserve for sports and pro-wrestling games.

I haven't played the previous "F1" games, but knew they were critically lauded games featuring excellent graphics, realistic controls and handling, and a miles-deep career mode. So it was with much excitement I tackled this game head first, diving into a race and promptly spinning myself off the track, into the sand, and quickly finding myself in last place with sand in my tires and a sinking feeling in my stomach. Perhaps checking out the tutorial was in order.

The 'Young Driver's Test' serves as a tutorial, and is a new feature of this year's edition. It takes you through acceleration, braking, the various mechanical adjustments you can make and turning. After completing this young driver's test, studiously following the braking and turning instructions, I thought now, perhaps, I was ready to take on the world of F1 Racing.
Thus, after starting the career mode and accidentally naming my character Meekin One, I took to the first race. Actually, no, I took to sitting in my gloriously rendered car as my pit crew worked around me, and I was given the option to check other driver's times, take a few laps myself, or adjust my car's mechanics. I decided to head out onto the track, apparently to get my tire temperature up - I was about ready to tell my crew that I knew a bunch of tires in Everett Washington that'd probably suit their needs just fine - but instead, I took to the track.
And into the sand I went. Spinning and whirring, with sand in my tires, my racing engineer helpfully squacked that I would have less grip on my tires due to all the sand currently gunking them up. But, determined, I decided I owed it to myself, and to you, noble reader, to experience this game beyond its first turn. So, like a multi-million dollar pinball, I drove my way through the course, cursing my racing engineer every time I slide off track, but determined to, at the least, record a lap time. 4 minutes later I had. I began the race proper after that, figuring that perhaps I could follow what the other cars were doing.
Photo credit: Codemasters
So there I was, one of several cars lined up as the lights counted down. This was a genuinely exciting moment. The combination of the cars glistening in the sun and engines revving, and the atmosphere of the entire experience, proved to me that Codemasters made this game with care and passion for this world. from the menus, to real racers, to real life brands and locations, this was truly a labor of love for a sport that doesn't really get much credit.
As the lights finally counted down and I hit the gas pedal, promptly being penalized for bumping the car in front of me, I realized that even if *I* suck at this game, it's still a quality product. As I approached the first turn and the dastardly sand that had been my bane, I thought to myself how talented the people who do this for a living must really be. Once I spun out into the sand, yet again, watching the cars in front of me make the turn with little effort, only to see one car smash into another in a glorious explosion of metal and carbon fiber, I thought it was about time to see if I still had "Burnout" laying around.
Because this game at flummoxed me at the level of control, it made the other offerings on the disc sort of a moot point. Champions Mode looked incredibly exciting as you faced off against real world racers in a variety of harrowing conditions as well as a variation of the career mode which let you play shorter races and avoid spending 3 hours or so on the same track.
Photo credit: Codemasters
Eventually I dug into the options menu and found a couple of options that made things easier, but it took the bite out of the experience for me. Sure, braking assist made it impossible to spin out as I was want to do, but fiddling with these options was the equivalent of ending every little league game in a tie. If I couldn't fail, succeeding was pointless. Now I'm not saying the control in "F1 2012" is bad. It's actually anything but. It's precise and realistic. I mean Codemasters brought this game to *real* F1 racers and they said it was just as good as a professional simulator for crying out loud. In much the same way "Tiger Woods 12" on the Wii with Motion Plus was *too* much like real golf in that it was incredibly difficult and frustrating and ultimately unrewarding, the control in "F1 2012" is so realistic, that unless you actually drive cars really fast regularly, the whole concept of breaking around corners and the like will likely be foreign and frustrating.
It's also very possible that the idea of a hardcore F1 racing simulation has your mouth watering. In which case, let me state emphatically this is by no means a bad game. It is dedicated to nailing every aspect of this experience, down to how incredibly difficult it is to wrangle a 1000 horse power rocket on wheels around a hairpin turn. So, while I was disappointed at the incredibly steep learning curve, you may be enticed by it. What I will say is that, in a world where games are becoming more expensive, and shorter, "F1 2012" is way more than you bargained for.

What started in 1929 as a group of farmers wanting to pave the way for the oncoming generation of agriculturalists has blossomed into a much bigger organization, with a broadened view.
Future Farmers of America, or now just referred to as the FFA, has more than 600,000 members in 7,665 chapters across the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. FFA operates at the local, state and national levels, working toward the goal to help the next generation rise up to meet challenges in agriculture and related industries. But it goes beyond preparedness. For many Morgan and Logan County students, being a member is more about personal growth.
"The three things FFA stands for is premier leadership, personal growth and professional development," said Wiggins FFA Chapter Secretary Blake Ferris, who is also on the executive committee at the district level. "FFA has definitely helped me grow personally."
Ferris is not the only area FFA member to hold those views of the program. The majority of area FFA members said the most important aspect of FFA is personal growth.
"You are taught more than just agriculture," said Fort Morgan Chapter President Trevor Gerken. "You are taught leadership skills."
In the pursuit of personal growth, although some may not realize it, these students are achieving much more for their communities and the industry.
The second most important aspect of being in FFA is advocating for agriculture, said many area FFA students.
Many Morgan and Logan County FFA members said there is definitely a problem with agriculture awareness and education in the United States. They also said being in FFA is an avenue to help others understand the industry.
"Farmers don't necessarily have the time to stand up for agriculture because they are out there growing the food and doing the things that are needed for agriculture to continue to prosper in the United States," said Brush FFA officer Jazmine Brown.
Some FFA members even pursue a degree completely focused on advocating for the industry. That is the case for Brush Chapter President and District President Emma Mortensen.
Mortensen wants to pursue a degree in agricultural communication, and enter into a field where she is speaking out for the industry.
"The most important thing I have learned is that we need more people advocating for agriculture, and it's going to start with younger generations," she said. "There is a lack of support, and I think if we advocate for agriculture using education, a lot of people are going to start supporting it."
Mortensen still has to earn her degree before professionally standing up for agriculture, but in the mean time, she and other FFA members are doing what they can now to reach the younger generations. And every chapter does it differently.
Each FFA chapter holds fundraisers and educational events to reach out to their communities. Brush hosts a haunted house, and all chapters participate in the hired hand auction, where the FFA members auction themselves off as labor to farmers. The Weldon Valley FFA saw the most money in their hired hand auction last year, raising about $10,000.
This year, chapters pulled together in Morgan County for Pedal the Plains. Weldon Valley and Wiggins FFA groups pulled together to create art inspired by agriculture to place along side the trail. The Fort Morgan FFA ran an educational booth, where they showed riders in Pedal the Plains a combine and a sprayer.
All the chapters also advocate for agriculture during FFA Week, taking the opportunity to educate younger students.
"We are trying to get them to join FFA, but also show them where their food comes from," said Fort Morgan FFA officer Maddie Haselgren.
The Fort Morgan chapter showed students a pizza during the week, explaining that every ingredient used to make it can be found in Morgan County. The Wiggins FFA is heavily integrated into the community, partnering with the town to host Diggin' Wiggins Day, a day to celebrate agriculture. The Wiggins FFA also is helping the town with the renovation of the baseball field. The Brush FFA showed students animals in the Animal Agricultural Advocacy Program, a hands-on approach to teaching students about agriculture.
The point is, every chapter has a part in getting involved, and by doing so, advocates for agriculture.
Many who join FFA in Morgan and Logan counties had some type of agriculture experience prior, whether it was growing beef, corn, running a dairy farm or any number of other activies. But there are a few who joined with no previous experience or understanding of the industry.
That was the case for Weldon Valley FFA member Mickey Kreigh.
Kreigh joined FFA after moving to Weldon Valley from Fort Morgan, and with little to no understanding of agriculture.
"I had no idea what ag was," she said. But now, after being in the program, she claims to have learned a lot. Kreigh even gained appreciation for agriculture, she said.
Although inspired by FFA, Kreigh still remains unsure if she wants to pursue a degree in agriculture. However, this is not the case for many in the program. Many FFA members said they knew what they wanted to pursue even before FFA. However, FFA has also helped many better understand career options.
"My impression of agriculture before FFA was more geared toward farming and ranching," said Sterling FFA member Matt Stanley. "But now it is more about leadership and how to take care of yourself and others."
Stanley said FFA helped him understand the span of agriculture, but didn't help him identify a career path. Stanley said he already had an idea of what he wanted to do.
For Weldon Valley FFA President and District Sentinel Ty Leist, however, FFA has lit the way to his career choice.
Leist said he didn't understand the impact of agriculture before joining FFA, but now has a strong passion or the field.
"FFA is my passion. I have it on my boots," he said. "I went to the national convention my sophomore year, and when I walked into the Indianapolis stadium and saw everyone was wearing the same blue jacket filling that stadium, it showed me I was part of something bigger, something that matters."
Leist said, because of FFA, he wants to become a windmill technician, a choice he called close to the environmental side of agriculture.
Many FFA members in Morgan and Logan counties expressed that they wanted to go into a more traditional agriculture field, or agriculture mechanics. Caliche High School FFA member Solomon Warnick said he wants to be part of a farm or ranch operation, despite having limited understanding of agriculture before entering FFA.
"I didn't know anything about agriculture except they grew crops and animals," Warnick said. "Being in FFA has helped me understand that agriculture is a lot deeper than just growing and selling livestock and crops. A lot of our economy is based on agriculture."
Warnick and Leist have two very different goals for the future, but each had the same takeaway from their agriculture education: agriculture is much bigger than just farming and producing, although farming and producing is a big part of agriculture.
Merino FFA Chapter President Gus Gill said the most important thing he learned about agriculture when he first entered the program was the distribution of goods to the consumer.
"The single most important thing my FFA adviser stressed in my first agriculture education class was the definition of agriculture: the production, distribution, processing, and other agriculture services required to get agricultural commodities to the consumer. Knowing this definition, my perspective of the agriculture industry in its entirety has changed, and I hold a great respect for the each sector of the industry and their contributions to our world," Gill said.
FFA provides many roads to those who enter, focusing on individual success. But it also pulls members together to accomplish goals as a group. And when that happens, the FFA can have an impact on our communities.

Wednesday reader's view: Perilous times
To the editor:
We in the United States of America are living in perilous times. If we do not anchor ourselves onto truth, we are on the brink of being swept into an immeasurable depth of chaos that will take decades from which to escape. I am World War II vintage and my heart grieves for the men and women who gave their lives for this great nation, which is being taken apart piece by piece by the Alinsky-trained president — and permitted to do so by the Republican establishment in Washington, D. C.
I do not approve of Donald Trump's sexual escapades, nor do I approve of Hillary Clinton jeopardizing the safety or our nation, committing felonious crimes ... and not being charged for her crimes. I do believe we are facing a far greater danger than the immoral, illegal improprieties of both candidates. In the 1990s, Hillary Clinton spearheaded the illegal collection of more than 900 FBI background files on political opponents of the Clintons. She was never charged. Chuck Colson, special counselor for Richard Nixon, went to prison for improperly accessing just one background file.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were and are students of Saul Alinsky. Hillary wrote a 92-page senior honors paper on the radical community organizer. She met with Alinsky several times when she was writing her thesis. After his death in 1972, she maintained a long relationship extending into the 1990s with Alinsky's main community organizing group called the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF). Alinsky authored a famous book titled "Rules for Radicals" that became the handbook for the radical left on how to take over America's governing and educational institutions. (See any progress in these areas in the past eight years?)
Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer with this grim inscription:
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first Radical: from all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer"
Alinsky also said this in an interview with Playboy magazine in 1972: "Hell would be heaven to me. All my life I have been with the have-nots. Over here, if you are a have-not, you are short on dough. If you are a have-not in hell, you are short on virtue. Once I get into hell, I will start organizing the have-nots over there." Hillary, as well as Obama, has been especially skilled at following this Alinsky rule for radicals: "True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism; the trick is to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions, political parties."
Please look beyond the barrage of verbal garbage published and aired and look to the underlying, diabolical agenda Hillary Clinton has for our country. Her past record speaks loudly of her scheming ways to gain power and money without regard to humanity or country. Russia now controls 20 percent of what was U.S. uranium, thanks to Bill Clinton's association with Canadian uranium billionaire Frank Giustra — flying together to Kazakhstan where Mr. Giustra landed a huge uranium deal. He donated $31 million to the Clinton Foundation and pledged another $100 million to the Foundation. In 2010, a Russian company wanted to buy Uranium One, which had taken over Giustra's company. Ian Telfer, new chairman of Uranium One, secretly donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation, which failed to report this money. In June 2010, Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 to deliver a speech in Moscow. In October 2010, Hillary Clinton approved the sale of Uranium One to the Russian company. The $135 million in donations the Clinton Foundation received from investors in Uranium One were never disclosed, violating Hillary's signed deal with the Obama administration. We all know uranium is the essential element needed to make nuclear weapons (New York Times).
I remember the battles of Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Anzio, Normandy, Hurtgen Forest, Wake Island and the Battan Death March. My memories are of bravery, sacrifice of lives, of men and women who knew the people back home were standing with them in prayer and willing to sacrifice whatever to get them home. Benghazi brings memories of brave men defending a small piece of property and their lives — as they had been trained to do, doing so with bravery and loyalty to their assignment — while our nation and those brave men were lied to by two political cowards who were concerned about their political positions, power and money. I will never forget the battles of World War II nor Benghazi ... ever.
My generation survived President Roosevelt's death in Warm Springs, Georgia, his mistress Lucy Mercer with him while Eleanor was at the White House. We made it through Gen. Dwight Eisenhhower's escapade with his young English jeep driver, Kay Summersby, telling Gen. Omar Bradley he wanted to divorce dear Mamie. He returned home, remained married to Mamie and was elected the 34th president. Then there was the Secret Service scrambling to clear the White House swimming pool, ushering JFK's "friends" out because Jackie had returned a day early from a trip and her car was in the White House driveway. We were embarrassed by their behavior, sometimes angry, but we survived their stupid choices and can survive Donald Trump's stupid behavior — and pray — but our nation will be fundamentally changed into a socialist government if Hillary Clinton is elected president. Socialism: any of various social systems based on shared or government ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.
Last I want to thank John Moolenaar, a man of courage, character and integrity for committing his lifework to our government. He is greatly needed and appreciated. Please pray for our nation, the election, our men and women serving our country and our students, from K-12. We have taught them to have respect for themselves and others, to live a life of dignity and now we tell them to share bathrooms, locker rooms and showers with each other ... insanity.

at the Fred Astaire show
his bulky head
sways in time to the dancer's moves
The electric toe dancing novelty
is a name he'd like to steal
light fingered he admires
the pianist, his swivel stool
the way his legs float above the floor
in a choreography of desire
the octopus wants
to mimic the pianist's coat
black sleeves sweeping the keys
music trailing behind
this should have been
a Victorian ship wreck poem.

text: Thought I was fairly clever, but I cannot figure this out. I have 2 PCs each running a Sapphire brand HD5770 1GB video card, though 1 card is about 8 months newer than the other. I was using it on my #1 pc (was on quad 9400, then I upgraded to an i7) and the older one on #2 pc (quad 6600) Both working without any problems. Am running a legit copy of Windows 7 Pro SP1. Bought a new 6950 card for my new i7 and decided to sell one of my 5770s. So I thought I'd put the newer card in my Q6600 and sell the older card. Did the swap and all seemed OK. Booted up, into Windows (I heard the sound card "kick in" with speaker noise), then the login screen appeared. Entered my password and Windows desktop then appeared (though at 800 x 600 as I guess the pc detected the different serial - or bios - or whatever) I changed the resolution to my normal setting (1600 x 1050) still OK and didn't seek reboot. Windows then did a self update to install the drivers for the new card. Ran the Windows assessment tool again (as it was greyed out with the old results). Windows then said it couldn't finish the assessment, so I figured it needed the reboot after all. Rebooted the pc, all seemed OK - DOS & post messages as normal, then the starting windows screen, then heard the speakers cut in (obviously the sound card being enabled) then I heard the "Windows' start sound and then the login screen appeared, as normal. Entered my password then the screen went black with only the arrow head cursor of the mouse visible. I was able to move the mouse as evidenced by the moving cursor, but unable to do anything else. Hit the reboot button, and selected a safe mode start. The normal sequence of events followed, the login screen appeared normally, though at 1200 x 800, I entered my password and Windows went into safe mode. Everything worked OK but as it was in safe mode, of course I wasn't able to change any settings. Then I thought maybe it was a problem with selecting the wrong monitor (wasn't that a clever idea). I shut down the pc, changed the VGA cord to the other outlet, restarted normally and the same thing happened again - black screen after the login with only the mouse cursor viewable. Can't see how it is a problem with the video card itself (it works in DOS and shows Windows start sequence and login screen - so what could be the cause of this drama? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Another Saskatchewan community was evacuated because of wildfire Tuesday afternoon.
People were ordered to leave the Waterhen Lake First Nation just before 1 p.m.
"It was very smokey, very thick — you could see the fire across the lake," said Chief Joanne Roy.
She said about 400 evacuees had registered with the Red Cross by Tuesday evening.
"The urgency is that we only have one entrance and exit from the community and the fire was approximately six kilometres away from our main entrance heading out," she said.
Roy added evacuees were on their way to Saskatoon. They will be put up at the Henk Ruys Soccer Centre until it's safe to return.
She says the fire apparently started last Sunday afternoon when a strong wind gust toppled over a power line.
Wildfires prompted other evacuations
Around 2 p.m., an evacuation order was issued for the hamlet of Crutwell and homes north to Highway 3 due to a wildfire threatening the community of around 60 people.
People in the hamlet were told evacuate immediately. That order was lifted at around 9:00 p.m. Tuesday evening.
People living in the nearby community of Holbein, about 30 kilometres west of Prince Albert — and those residing along and south of Highway 3 — were also being advised Tuesday to remain on standby for a possible evacuation if the situation escalates.
Dave Whalley, who lives in nearby Holbein, spoke with Saskatchewan Afternoon host David Kirton moments after the Crutwell order came down.
"It's unbelievable how the smoke has come up," he said Tuesday afternoon. "(The wind) has changed a bit, but it's blowing so much harder now."
Whally said there are several acreages north of Crutwell being evacuated.
A wildfire burning on the south edge of Prince Albert National Park also became concerning Tuesday.
The province is advising people in the Cookson and Mayview areas, south of the park, to be ready.
People in the area told 650 CKOM the national park fire has breached the southern boundaries, with crews from Lakeland and Shellbrook fighting on the line.
On Monday, another wildfire forced 30 people to evacuate the Waterhen Lake First Nation.
