Standing 6"7' tall, Parkway's Rob Harper has gotten good and firing the heat at his opponents.
"I love throwing the fast ball and then breaking off the curve all and I love making the other battle look silly," said Harper.
The lean and lanky pitcher was pretty good at making batter's look silly during his senior campaign. He finished the year with an ERA below 2.0.
"we give all the credit to the guys behind us because they've been playing one heck of a year."
Head coach Rick Bryant would agree that while Rob has been extremely successful on the mound his teammates have helped his cause.
"we play really good defense with Rob on the mound."
Harper was a three sport athlete during his time at Parkway. He played basketball and football, as well as baseball.

Gay marriage in Utah blocked by high court

WASHINGTON (BP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court has finally halted same-sex weddings in Utah after lower courts refused to block the ceremonies while the state challenged their legality.
The high court, amid the festering legal issue in numerous states, issued its temporary stay Monday (Jan. 6) of a federal court ruling that struck down a 2004 Utah constitutional amendment that defined marriage as only between a man and a woman.
Federal judge Robert Shelby -- whose Dec. 20 decision made Utah the 18th state with legalized same-sex marriage -- had refused the state's request to block enforcement of his decision while it appealed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. The 10th Circuit also rejected the state's application for a stay.
Utah made its request to Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who handles emergency applications from the 10th Circuit. She referred the state's request to the full court, and the justices announced without comment their order for a stay while the 10th Circuit handles the appeal.
Because Shelby and the appeals court refused to stay his opinion, the unions of the same-sex couples who married during the 17 days his ruling was in effect are in a state of doubt. Nearly 1,000 same-sex weddings were conducted in Utah before the Supreme Court acted, according to The Deseret News, a Salt Lake City newspaper owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).
"This is the uncertainty that we were trying to avoid by asking the District Court for a stay immediately after its decision, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes said in a written statement after the high court's action. It is very unfortunate that so many Utah citizens have been put into this legal limbo,"
Defenders of biblical, traditional marriage applauded the Supreme Court's order.
Southern Baptist public policy specialist Barrett Duke told Baptist Press the stay showed the Supreme Court "honored its own ruling" last summer in a high-profile case on same-sex marriage "when it stated that marriage is a matter for the states individually to decide."
"Regrettably, though, the fate of same-sex marriage in Utah is still going to be debated and decided in federal courts," said Duke, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission's vice president for public policy and research, in a written statement.
Ryan Anderson, the Heritage Foundation's expert on marriage and religious liberty, wrote in a blog post, "The states remain free -- and should continue to remain free -- to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Today's announcement from the Supreme Court is therefore welcome.
"One district judge should not be able to misread the Court's recent decisions and force any state to act contrary to the meaning and purpose of marriage," Anderson said.
The country's leading advocacy organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights expressed dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court order but contended its cause would prevail.
"While it is disappointing that the dreams of many more will be put on hold, we know that in the end justice will be served and no couple will be excluded from this cherished institution," said Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin in a written statement. He added, "As the marriage equality map expands, history is on our side and we will not rest until where you live is not a barrier to living your dreams."
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, a Republican, said in a written release that Utah's citizens "deserve to have this issue resolved through a fair and complete judicial process. I firmly believe this is a state-rights issue and I will work to defend the position of the people of Utah and our State Constitution."
Anderson said the debate over marriage should not be settled by judges.
"Whatever one thinks about marriage, the courts shouldn't be redefining it," Anderson said. "America should make marriage policy through the democratic process rather than allowing judges to dictate it through decisions that have no grounding in our Constitution."
Utah voters passed the amendment limiting marriage to a man and a woman with about a two-thirds majority.
National battle continues
Same-sex marriage has increasingly made gains in the states. With Shelby's ruling, nine states legalized gay marriage in 2013. The 18 states that have legalized same-sex marriage are generally located in three sections of the country, plus Hawaii: The Northeast (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont); Midwest (Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota); and West (California, New Mexico, Utah and Washington).
The District of Columbia also has legalized same-sex marriage.
The issue is in the courts in a variety of states, and gay marriage advocates are seeking electoral or legislative victories in others. Through 2016, HRC has targeted Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio and Oregon at the ballot box or in the legislature.
The church has an important role to play as the policy debate regarding marriage continues, the ERLC's Duke said.
"In the meantime, our church leaders must consider ways they can help their congregations and communities understand the importance of marriage as defined by God," Duke told BP. "Christians everywhere must also pray fervently for our nation and our leaders who will be making decisions about marriage that will have significant social ramifications.
"Additionally, those committed to the biblical definition of marriage must do all they can to live out biblical values within their own marriages so a skeptical culture can see clearly the great social benefit of God's design for marriage," he said.
In his opinion, Shelby ruled Utah's 2004 amendment violates equal protection and due process rights under the U.S. Constitution. The amendment and two related Utah laws deny the state's "gay and lesbian citizens their fundamental right to marry and, in so doing, demean the dignity of these same-sex couples for no rational reason," Shelby wrote.
In late June, the Supreme Court refused in an opinion to prohibit states from limiting marriage to a man and a woman. In a procedural ruling on a case from California, the justices effectively let stand a federal judge's invalidation of a state amendment that defined marriage in the traditional way. In another decision the same day, the high court struck down a portion of a federal law, the Defense of Marriage Act, which limited marriage to heterosexual couples.
The case from Utah is Herbert v. Kitchen.
Shelby's Dec. 20 decision came only a week after Clark Waddoups, another federal judge in Utah, essentially decriminalized polygamy in the state. Waddoups invalidated a portion of a state law that prohibited bigamy, ruling as unconstitutional a section barring a married person from cohabiting with someone who is not his or her spouse.
In effect, Waddoups legalized polygamy as it is practiced in Utah primarily by members of fundamentalist spin-offs of the Mormon religion. Such polygamous households typically do not have multiple marriage licenses but treat all relationships between a man and the women with whom he lives as marriages.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The facility whose chemical spill contaminated the water supply for 300,000 West Virginians flew largely under the radar of government regulators who viewed it as a low-risk operation. But in reality, a problem at a key holding wall went undetected and unreported at Freedom Industries Inc.
The chemicals stored there aren't considered hazardous enough to prompt routine inspections. The storage terminal was a low priority for regulators. They must allocate scarce manpower.
The chemicals were stored behind a brick-and-concrete block dike that seems to have had structural problems. Regulators never visited it, but the company apparently was aware of the issue. A state official says the company president told regulators that Freedom had put $1 million into an escrow account to fix the wall that ultimately failed to hold Thursday's spill.

When Phil Heath won his second-straight Mr. Olympia title at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas last September, he had a lot of people to thank in his victory speech. Kai Greene, the man who took second, figured prominently because, as Heath said, "Kai gave me everything I could handle tonight."
Unless Heath was privy to the numbers on the judges' scorecards, he knew how close it was based only on crowd reaction—and when the place went ballistic every time Greene was called out, Heath had every reason to worry. The pose that got the biggest rise out of the crowd: Greene's rear lat spread. Not only did he display freakishly huge lats that nearly went down to his hips, he also presented them in exquisite detail. Every few degrees he moved his arms, the landscape of his back musculature completely transformed; with his elbows drawn tight to his rib cage, it looked as if two giant seashells were buried under his skin, facing each other across his spine.
The key to building these fan-favorite muscles that nearly earned him a Sandow, according to Greene, is a combination of relatively light weight, high volume exercise, and a deep mind-muscle connection.
"The mind-muscle connection is the No. 1 factor in training," Greene says unequivocally. "Practice posing between sets or anytime. Eventually, your mind and muscles will speak the same language."

Harry was shocked to learn HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON in 3D today!
Trailers are amazing things. Take for example the trailers for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON - which beginning with the title, I wasn't thrilled with. There's something about the trailer that just feels bland & flavorless. It seems to be a story about a boy that shot down a dragon, they became friends & that's about it. What is missing is the soul of the film, now ordinarily I'd expect more than a trailer's worth of depth, but Dreamworks Animation sometimes makes moves that are as bland as the trailers. That's how I feel about the SHREK movies and especially last year's MONSTERS VS ALIENS. The trailers tend to be made up of unconnected gags rather than story. But when I looked at the filmography of the directors for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, well... it is just LILO & STITCH. Now, I don't know about you, but I LOOOOOOVE that film. Not that animated television series, but the movie. It had heart, soul, story, originality and was just the sort of animated film that I love. I hoped that spirit would be found in HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, but with a title as "Goofy" as that.. it's practically screaming to be gagged to the max. Thankfully, no. I yanked myself out of bed this morning after a long, intoxicating night of cinema, which is how I tend to spend every Sunday night. As a result, I only received about three & half hours of sleep prior to awakening for this Monday morning treat. The Alamo Village had mercifully brewed yummy coffee this morning, and after a cup o' joe, it was time to catch the latest from the LILO & STITCH pair. Most of the trailer you've seen is from a microscopic portion of the tale. A part of the film that's actually around 45 minutes or so in. What isn't in the trailer is anything that really relates to the characters. The unfortunately named prince of the Viking community, Hiccup, is a wisp of a lad. Bones with a side of meat, whereas the typical Viking in this land is beefy, meaty and built like a human tank. The vikings thirst for Dragon blood, killing Dragons is their life. Well, that and boasting about killing dragons and drinking mead. On a purely animation and character design level, the viking community felt and looked like something that GROO THE WANDERER could've felt at home at. The matted hair, the textures, the shadows - all darker than we're used to. I loved the animated Viking homes, weapons and ornamentations. This isn't anything close to real, nor should it be, this is a fantasy Viking land. Something that will be a bit of a primer for Branagh's THOR, then later with Mel Gibson's Viking epic. My brethren will be well-represented in cinema over the coming years. Now, Hiccup is rearing to kill dragons. His father, Stoick, is voiced by Gerard Butler perfectly. He sounds like a viking. Whereas Hiccup is voiced by Jay Baruchel, who is such a wimp, Harry Knowles beat him up in FANBOYS last year. How's a guy that I can whup, gonna whup a Dragon's ass? Naturally, he can't. He's a softhearted fella at his core. He's not there to kill, he just wasn't given that cold killing gene that his father is so proud of. At no point is this film really about Training a Dragon. It's more about Hiccup being trained to kill dragons, even as he has secretly been nursing back to health and learning to ride and fly with his downed dragon that he has named TOOTHLESS. The result is a fascinating coming of age adventure fantasy story that could be a bit intense for the most delicate of youngsters, but for most will be a joy to behold. The first question that I was asked upon revealing that I had seen HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON and declared it amongst the best of Dreamworks Animation - was... How does it compare to KUNG FU PANDA? First off, while I saw the film in 3D today, it wasn't quite complete. The score was the pre-record version, not the full orchestra recording that will soon exist. Also at several points, unfinished animation was there. But as is, I found the film to be every bit as emotional, thrilling and fun as KUNG FU PANDA. It is completely different. For one, this is a story about an amazing pet. A rescued, wounded pet that other people wouldn't respect, understand or allow one to keep. This is a deadly creature. In fact, this isn't just any ol dragon, but a legendary creature that had never even been glimpsed. In this land, there are a large variety of dragons, each with their own particular eccentricities. My favorite character is, as hard as it will be to believe, Craig Ferguson's Gobber, the blacksmith and former great killer of Dragons. He plays Hiccup's teacher... for one, Hiccup has worked with Gobber as an apprentice in the arts of a Blacksmith, but when Stoick takes the warriors on an expedition to find the Dragon's nest and kill them all, Gobber is asked to teach the next generation of Vikings to kill dragons. Something that Hiccup has a growing discomfort in doing. Gobber is missing an arm & a leg. He's created a few devices that he can plug into place to make life easier. And in a lesser film, you would've seen a scene of Gobber's collection of hand and leg attachments. Instead, we get introduced to his drinking attachment organically and in use. You never see him switch these out. The result is always surprising and fun. But more so, the biting wit and humor of Gobber's dialogue is killer funny. There's one moment where you think he's going to sagely calm Hiccup's neurosis about his father, when it suddenly takes a left turn to stab poor Hiccup to the core. He's just a great character, something that I didn't expect from Craig Ferguson. There's a slight romantic story between Hiccup and Astrid (America Ferrera) that is tender and smart and works. In fact, it all works here. DeBlois & Sanders have a great touch. The animation is often beautiful and stunning. The flight sequence when Hiccup introduces Astrid to Toothless is beautiful. More balletic & soaring than the Banshees, the dream of riding a dragon. It is that sequence above all others in the film that sets this film apart. I'd compare it to that first big flight sequence from THE ROCKETEER for sheer joy of flight. Very Miyazaki. There's a shot where we keep our characters level, while only the horizon tumbles - it was one of those shots where you notice your jaw hanging open and the corners of your mouth trapped in a smile. I really want to fly astride a dragon. The film is opening against CLASH OF THE TITANS on March 26th, and honestly... Parents of kids in their early teens are going to have a great day that day, I bet. I haven't seen CLASH yet, but HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON will play to young kids exceptionally well, and the older CLASH kids will go nuts for that. The final little note that I have on the film is this. While there's no listed Director of Photography on HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, the man they had advising them throughout on the film is Roger Deakins and it shows. Especially in the bright sunlit scenes and then later in the dark shadowy sequences, which were not afraid of using BLACK as a base. As an ol' gaffer in New Zealand once said, "Do ya want it bright & shiny or Dark & interesting?" The Dark & Interestingly lit scenes are really something. The 3D was pretty spectacular. I look forward to seeing this finished and at the IMAX. This is going to make DREAMWORKS ANIMATION a mint, at least I hope so. This is very much a story over gags film, with no potty humor. I'm told that we'll soon be seeing a trailer that is more indicative of the film shortly. I hope so, because I barely had the desire to see it this morning, whereas now, I'm 100% on board the film. This is a wonderful fantasy that kids can enjoy, despite the fact that Adults will have even more fun with it. In that respect, it did remind me of KUNG FU PANDA.

I love KUNG FU PANDA. It's always a blast to watch with my son (soon to be four years old), though we also enjoy MONSTER VS. ALIENS, UP, and CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS. Weirdly, we've never seen LILO & STITCH, so on your recommendation, we'll be checking that out. Great review, by the way. Makes me really excited to take my son to the IMAX for his 4th birthday.

It kicked Wall-E's ass. Easily Dreamworks' best film, and is up there with some of Pixar's best.

And he's actually quite outraged by the film's departures from the source material (Toothless is actually about a foot long in the books). I'm actually looking forward to the film, as it looks frankly more entertaining than the books (which are really pretty throwaway children's literature). FUN FACT: The author's husband's name is Simon Cowell, but he's not THAT Simon Cowell.

A black scene in 3d... has no depth, does it? You can't have stereoscopic effect with blackness. And if there's one lit, 3d object against a black background, there's no way to make the blackness behind or in front of it... is there? I'm freaking myself out, here.
 Wait, it's not just blackness. Any featureless surface in 3d would lose all depth. Why haven't I noticed this?

So Harry, I can't find a review from you...
by D.Vader
On Monsters vs Aliens. Did you ever write one? Why do I think you liked it?
Jan. 19, 2010, 9:33 a.m. CST
Monsters Vs Aliens sucked
by Series7
Save for Seth Rogen actually his Blob saved the film from being unwatchable. He was a cool fun character and Seth FINALLY brought something to the table with his voice. The rest of the voice cast was wasted worse then the Furious Five. Hugh was hugh, Will was Will and Reese and Reese. Seth's dumbness elevated his character for once.
 Its a decent rental with some cool action set pieces, but for my money I'd say go see Cloudy or Battle for Terra. Man last year was a good year for animation.
Jan. 19, 2010, 9:36 a.m. CST
Voice cast wasted WORSE than the Furious Five?
by D.Vader
No way. That takes the cake for the most ridiculous use of famous voices compared to the character development and amount of time featured onscreen.
Jan. 19, 2010, 10:48 a.m. CST
by Series7
It was pretty close. I mean at least in Panda you got some development out of the main two, with Monsters Vs. Aliens no one goes anywhere.

I thought the trailer had potential. Hope you're right...

by critch
They did the same thing with Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, and that ended up being the best animated film of last year. Not surprised that Ferguson is a highlight. Lost in the war of Conan vs. Jay is that Craig is consistently the funniest and best person working late nights, and deserves far more recognition than he gets.

kung fu panda was shit...
by blckmgk13
...but lilo and stitch is one of the best animated movies ever. Right up there with Iron Giant and others. So count that as one ticket for how to train your dragon. Might be after Clash of the Titans though. Wife really seems to dig the trailers for that one.

Him and his spaceships...the rest was really bland.

that film had some fantastic parts.

Amen, pipergates . . .
by Nice Marmot
While I thought the movie as a hole was a bit weak, the first time I ever caught a glimpse of the movie outside of the trailer, was by flipping to that scene on HBOHD. It was pretty f'n cool.

Ebert thought Astro Boy was better than Kung Fu Panda
by FeralAngel
And it was. Hey, Harry, talk about an exhilirating flying scene, don't you remember when the little robot boy took his maiden flight through those gorgeous clouds at sunset? Diving and flipping and playfully punching clouds? Damn that was beautiful. Even the snottiest film critics liked that scene. Anyhoo, the dragon film looks pretty blah, I'll probably rent it. There was nothing in that trailer that made me excited to see it, and since you dissed Astro Boy (yep, broken record, sue me) I know I can't trust your judgement anymore. So Dragon Movie=pass. But it'll probably get looked at by other folks because it has the Dreamworks label slapped on it, and it's based on a kid's book series, which seems to be a winning formula for bad films (Where The Wild Things Are, Polar Express, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, etc.) Besides, the main dragon looks like Stitch, except that he isn't "cute and fuzzy".

I've been coming here reading your posts since the mid-late 90's, and one thing is inexplicably clear.
 You still can't write for shit.... but at least your review confirmed this particular film's a keeper. Thanks!

Harry is of Nordic descent?
by JayLenoTookMyJob
Heh. Actually, there's an historic Viking king who Harry eerily resembles. Look it up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivar_the_Boneless Yep! "Ivar the Boneless". Huge guy, couldn't walk, his men carried him around on his shield. Proof of reincarnation? Or bizarro coincidence? You decide!

Hated Kung-Fu Panda...
by Jaym3
And I don't want this, which I assume will be better, because its from the L&S guys to be compared with it. I don't have much hope though. Saving Dreamworks now is like saving motherfucking Heroes. It's impossible shit.

Kung Fu Panda
by EliteStance
Was well made and had great sequences, but its themes and core where awful. The usual 'just want it and you'll get it nonsense' I dislike in certain US movies (sorry my US cousins). So someone who just 'dreams' of something becomes better than people who've actually been studying and practicing. Kung Fu Panda's central message is exactly the nonsesne that brought the global economy low - that you get what you want with no real effort or talent.
Jan. 26, 2010, 3:43 p.m. CST
kung fu panda
by redkamel
I thought kung fu panda actually kind of sucked. The whole noodle joke was lame, the parents being chickens never really got played up (I was hoping they would let Panda know he was adopted in a huge reveal. Perfect gag for kids). The Dragon Scroll was lame, it should have been a training regimen. There was no good training. The only part Iiked was the Turtle guy.
 The whole message of the movie was that if fat/incompetent people believe in themselves, they will be better than everyone else. They kind of left out the whole "I actually have to pay my dues beyond the normal work" bit.
Feb. 27, 2010, 5:05 a.m. CST
If Wall-E ended
by Squilookle
at around the half hour mark it MIGHT have been oscar nom worthy, but Kung Fu Panda was robbed. It was a much more complete film in every way. Revealing Auto as a villain in Wall- E was just about the lamest thing ever.
April 2, 2010, 12:13 p.m. CST
Very cute
by Chakalak
My first 3D movie since Vincent Price's "House of Wax" - consequently was blown away by it. The skin on those hairy Viking arms was so real my brain was tricked for a second. My kids enjoyed it as well - good uncomplicated story. Although personally I still prefer Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, don't know why exactly.

Hard Time, Scene #03
Hard Time, Scene #03
Hot House Video
- 8.5/10
Being locked up makes Marcus Ruhl horny and hungry for dick. He offers to suck off Officer Jimmy Durano but the Latin stud refuses. Instead he calls Landon Conrad in to fuck the sexy prisoner's mouth right through the bars of his cell. Durano returns from his rounds to find Ruhl making a pig of himself swallowing officer Conrad's huge cock. He pulls the filthy cocksucker out of his cell and gets in on the action. He whips out his thick uncut cock and Conrad forces Ruhl's head down onto the giant man-meat. The twisted cops take turns force-feeding Ruhl their cocks until Conrad bends him over and fucks his ass. Ruhl never stops sucking Durano's dick as Conrad pounds his hole until he pulls out and shoots his load. Durano tells Conrad to beat it so he can finish off Ruhl the way he likes it. He pushes the beefy stud back onto his desk and fucks his giant bubble-butt. Ruhl jacks off and drains his nuts, followed by Durano who showers Ruhl with loads of his creamy jizz.

Credit: NYC Build it Back
New York's Mayor Bloomberg has announced a reorganized and re-branded effort to help residents and businesses rebuild and repair after last year's Hurricane Sandy. Called "NYC Build It Back," the program aims to overcome the disorganization and confusion of last year's "Rapid Repairs" program by assigning each property owner's or renter's case to a one-on-one expert manager, reports the Wall Street Journal ("NYC mayor announces new effort on Sandy repairs," by Associated Press).
"We are making our federal aid package simple and understandable and tailoring assistance to the specific needs of the families and businesses most impacted by Sandy," Bloomberg said at a City Hall news conference. "Eligible homeowners, renters and landlords can seek advice and financing to repair and rebuild or even get reimbursed for work already done. Loans are also available," reported the Journal. Bloomberg announced the new program at a City Hall news conference on June 3 (see video, below).
"We're going to make sure you get the personal attention that you need," promised Mayor Michael Bloomberg as he introduced the city's new "NYC Build It Back" recovery program.
City residents can sign up for the program over the phone by dialing 311, or online at the city's "NYC Recovery" website. The program also has a Facebook page (also called "NYC Build It Back").
"I strongly urge all New Yorkers who own or live in homes that Sandy damaged to sign up for this program," said Bloomberg. "To be eligible, you simply must be a homeowner or renter whose primary residence in our city was damaged by Hurricane Sandy, or be a landlord whose property in the city was damaged by Sandy. Whether you register online or by phone, we're going to make sure you get the personal attention that you need. And we'll do that by assigning a Housing Recovery Specialist to everyone who registers, so there will be a specific person that you can liaison with. They'll be trained to determine your eligibility for the program and to guide you through the process every step of the way."

The Foursquare PJ Snowboard Jacket is part of an insulated series of snowboarding jackets that is a great option for hitting the slopes. Offering enhanced performance and durability for those with an active lifestyle, the jacket features waterproof and breathable material, with a ghost gaiter and pit zips. A ticket window keeps your possessions secure and an easy access pocket for electronics makes listening to tunes on the slopes an easy and safe process for all.
The jacket was awesome. wore it for 2 seasons, and will still wear it when I'm not wearing my newer pj jacket. slight loose fit, that leaves room for layers and movement. I highly recommend this jacket.

We got this in a silver frame and love the look. The only thing that i would change is that the crispness of black and white gets blurred a little bit over towards the left of the photo - it's not a printing issue but the way the photo is. It still looks great though.

Of the 4.8 million acres offered for enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) during general sign-up 39 (held Aug. 2 to 27), USDA accepted 4.3 million acres. With 4.459 million acres maturing from the program on Sept. 30, the new enrollments put total acres in CRP at 31.2 million, leaving room for enrollments via continuous CRP and other programs before the 32-million-acre cap on the program is reached.
But don't take that 4.3 million acres out of the acreage mix for 2011. Why? Of the 4.8 million acres submitted to USDA, 57%—more than 2.7 million acres—were under CRP contracts that expired Sept. 30, 2010, or Sept. 30, 2009. So most of the "new" enrollments weren't in the crop mix for the 2010 growing season anyway.
Where are the acres? Nearly the same places as before. The top three states for enrollment under sign-up 39 are Texas (858,436 acres), Colo-rado (739,467 acres) and Kansas (618,905 acres). In announcing the results, officials said the program still has not shifted from being very popular in the Great Plains.
USDA selected offers based on an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) of five environmental factors plus cost: wildlife enhancement, water quality, soil erosion, enduring benefits and air quality. The highest possible EBI score was 545. Up to 395 points were given for the five environmental factors and up to 150 for the cost factor. The minimal EBI level for this sign-up was 200, with an average EBI on accepted offers of 280.
While there is no word yet as to whether another general sign-up is in the cards, there are 4.4 million acres set to mature on Sept. 30, 2011, and with USDA's drive to keep the program filled as close as possible to the 32-million-acre cap, another general sign-up could be seen in 2011.

Niklason said the primary reason why the system shut down was due to a malfunction with the Sun SAN storage device. Niklason also said the university's registration system, the Banner System, has been down since Tuesday morning. The system did not reboot after the Sun SAN storage device malfunctioned. The university had to stop all systems and bring them up one-by-one. Niklason estimated that about 8,000 online students have been affected by the Vista Online Course System outage.

Kons will present her research on light therapy and its effectiveness in aiding military shift workers reduce their fatigue, and therefore help reduce job-related errors. Kons' research project was conducted with the help of eight other undergraduate students last summer. Her research consisted of determining if light therapy affects a person's secretion of the hormone melatonin that helps people sleep. According to Kons, the body typically produces melatonin around 9 p.m. every night, and stops secreting the hormone in the morning hours. She concluded that shift work, which includes work schedules that fluctuate between day and swing shifts, could disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythms.

Object Description
|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 2007-04-25, 2007 Spring Graduation Edition, Vol. 69, No. 88
|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

-- Mary Elizabeth Dallas
SATURDAY, May 12 (HealthDay News) -- Being healthy and losing
weight are not only about crash diets, clothing sizes and numbers
on the scale, experts say.
Incorporating fitness into your life can boost your confidence
and make you feel better inside and out, said the experts, from the
University of Alabama at Birmingham.
"Start by throwing away all clothing catalogs with skinny models in skimpy bikinis on the front," Beth Kitchin, assistant professor of nutrition sciences, said in a university news release. "Then buy a bathing suit that flatters your shape. Going to extremes for weight loss leads to yo-yo dieting and makes you feel bad about yourself."
"The goal is to be a healthy size for you, so focus your attitude and energy on becoming the best version of yourself and enjoy the journey to health," added Lauren Whitt, wellness coordinator at the university.
The UAB experts said it's important to shape up for summer
safely, and offered the following tips on how to reach your
weight-loss goals:
The experts said women should have no more than one alcoholic
drink and men should have no more than two drinks per day.
"Alcohol tends to increase your appetite and provides calories without nutrients," Whitt said. "If you skip it altogether, you can reach your goals more easily."
An occasional treat doesn't mean you can't meet your weight-loss
goals, the experts added. Getting in shape does not require
perfection; just get back on track the next morning.

Two badly burned bodies were found by firefighters in the bedroom of a Salt Lake County home Friday morning, and police suspect a case of double homicide.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said Friday afternoon that the bodies are that of an adult male and an adult female, but investigators have not been able to definitively identify them.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"There are also no obvious signs as to a cause of death," Hoyal said. "The individuals have been transported to the Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy."
According to Hoyal, burn patterns in the house are not consistent with an accidental fire. UPD is investigating the case as a homicide along with Sandy Fire and United Fire Authority. Hoyal said detectives were still processing the house for evidence on Friday evening.
Sandy Fire Department crews responded to the fire at 2811 E. Ksel Drive (9460 South) at 8:26 a.m. When they entered the home, they discovered the bodies and notified UPD.
Neighbors said a man lived at the house by himself and had a girlfriend who visited often. Police say it will take considerable time to identify the victims.
According to neighbor Pat Kimsey, the bodies were initially discovered by other neighbors who entered the house before firefighters arrived. She said she saw a teenage boy and two adults going in and out of the house, presumably to see if anyone needed help.
"What was the most devastating to us as neighbors was that [emergency responders] weren't carrying anybody out to an ambulance," Kimsey said.
Sandy firefighters located the bodies inside the master bedroom. They were able to put the fire out in about 10 minutes.
"This does appear suspicious, and we are treating it as homicide," Hoyal said.
Neighbors Donald and Deborah Cobb, who live directly across the street from the house, said their neighbor was friendly and helpful. They were fearful that he was one of the people who died in the fire.
"He put the shutters on our house, as a matter of fact," Donald Cobb said.
Just recently, the man purchased their pickup with the intention of restoring it.
"He wasn't planning on going anywhere," Deborah Cobb said.
The fire scene was cordoned off as detectives and arson investigators began their probe.

Chesapeake Energy Corp. announced Feb. 28 it had executed two agreements to sell midstream compression assets, including some in West Virginia, for $520 million.
Access Midstream Partners has agreed to purchase 103 compression units with a combined capacity of about 200,000 horsepower for $160 million. The units service gathering systems in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Exterran Partners has agreed to purchase 334 compression units with a combined capacity of approximately 440,000 horsepower for approximately $360 million. The units service gathering systems in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
Chesapeake said both transactions should close before the end of the second quarter.
"Chesapeake continues to streamline its overall portfolio to focus on our core assets," said Domenic J. Dell'Osso Jr., Chesapeake's chief financial officer. "These sales are consistent with this strategy and will generate more than $500 million towards improving our balance sheet, while having minimal impact on our 2014 cash flow guidance."

(See Update: Don't Blame FDIC for Eastern Livestock's Problems)
If the rumors are true, and some pretty savvy people think they are, Eastern Livestock may have had less than a million dollar bond to cover the more than $100 million the company had in outstanding checks when it was forced into receivershp.
I call it a "rumor" because nobody at USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards has called back to verify or deny it.

Boy Scouts National Board Member Calls for End to Ban on Gay Scouts and Leaders
- James Turley, CEO of Ernst & Young and member of the Boy Scouts of America's National Board, says he will work from within to change ban on gay scouts and leaders
- Turley announces decision after lesbian den mother, ousted as a leader of her seven-year-old son's Cub Scout troop, rallies hundreds of thousands to call for end to Boy Scouts' anti-gay policy
- New campaign urges CEO of AT&T, Randall Stephenson, who is also a board member of the Boy Scouts, to speak out against the Scouts' ban on gay troops and leaders
NEW YORK, NY – James Turley, Chairman & CEO of Ernst & Young and a Board member of the Boy Scouts of America, announced tonight that he supports an end to the Boy Scouts' ban on gay scouts and gay scout leaders.
In a statement issued tonight by Ernst & Young, Turley said that he will work from within the Boy Scouts as a national board member to help change their policies.
"Ernst & Young is proud to have such a strong record in LGBT inclusiveness. As CEO, I know that having an inclusive culture produces the best results, is the right thing for our people and makes us a better organization. My experience has led me to believe that an inclusive environment is important throughout our society and I am proud to be a leader on this issue," Turley said. "I support the meaningful work of the Boy Scouts in preparing young people for adventure, leadership, learning and service, however the membership policy is not one I would personally endorse. As I have done in leading Ernst & Young to being a most inclusive organization, I intend to continue to work from within the BSA Board to actively encourage dialogue and sustainable progress."
Turley made his announcement after Jennifer Tyrrell, an ousted lesbian den leader from Bridgeport, Ohio, started a petition on Change.org calling for an end to the Boy Scouts' ban on gay troops and leaders, and calling on national board members of the Boy Scouts to speak out in favor of equality. Last week, the Boy Scouts announced publicly that a resolution was introduced before their board to end the Scouts' long-held policy barring gay troops and leaders.
"When the Boy Scouts kicked me out for being gay, I felt so excluded, like I was nothing, and like I was disappointing my seven-year-old son and his entire pack of Cub Scouts," said Tyrrell. "But the overwhelming support I've received from thousands of scouts and scout leaders, as well as hundreds of thousands of people from around the country, has meant the world to me. We are at a tipping point, with national leaders within the Boy Scouts now taking a firm stand to help end discrimination."
Tyrrell and others are now calling on another prominent Boy Scouts board member, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, to join Turley and speak out against the Scouts' anti-gay policy.
"As the CEO of AT&T, Randall Stephenson is already doing a lot for the gay community. His company provides non-discrimination protections, healthcare benefits for same-sex partners, and much more for gay employees. The last thing AT&T wants is to undermine its excellent reputation for supporting LGBT people by failing to support a resolution that would bring equality to the Boy Scouts of America," said Tyrrell.
Thousands of scouts and scout leaders have joined in Tyrrell's call for an end to the Boy Scouts' ban on gay troops and leaders. Two weeks ago, Eagle Scout Zach Wahls, whose online video in support of his two lesbian moms went viral last year, delivered more than 275,000 signatures to the Boy Scouts of America's National Annual Meeting, calling for an end to their anti-gay policy (photos available here). Wahls also announced last week that he was forming a new organization inspired by Tyrrell's story, Scouts for Equality, to rally the scouting community to end the policy barring gay troops and leaders.
"Jennifer Tyrrell's story has inspired hundreds of thousands of people around the country, awakening a new movement urging the Boy Scouts of America to allow gay troops and gay scout leaders," said Michael Jones, Deputy Campaign Director at Change.org. "Jennifer began this campaign with just a few strokes on her computer, and now she's ignited a movement that is reaching everyone from corporate leaders to famous celebrities."

Today's Front Pages Analysis
The case of the wayward watch; Culpeper's lede a no-brainer
Editors had plenty of national and international stories to choose from to top their front pages: immigration reform, violence in the Gaza Strip, presidential campaign machinations and that old stand-by, the Iraq War. But several Page One editors instead seemed fascinated with a presidential mystery: the case of the wayward watch.
Front-page photo essays in The Bakersfield Californian, Doylestown, Pa., Intelligencer, the Toronto Globe and Mail and other newspapers chronicled the apparent disappearance of President Bush's wristwatch during his Albanian meet-and-greet on Sunday. The photos showed effusive, affectionate Albanians practically mobbing the president (in a nice way). But the missing watch led Intelligencer editors to wonder: "Did it fall off? Did one of his bodyguards remove it? Or did one of the crowd artfully slip it off his wrist and pocket it?" The Globe and Mail noted that the U.S. State Department has warned tourists to "beware of pickpockets in Albania." Alas, the truth was fairly anti-climactic. Spokesman Tony Snow told reporters that the president merely had decided to put it in his pocket, and it "returned safely home."
For true crime stories, editors had to stick close to home, and they weren't disappointed. Ne'er-do-wells and their homes-away-from-home – otherwise known as jail – were the subject of many Page One pieces today. The San Francisco Chronicle, still fascinated with the fact that celebutante Paris Hilton is sitting in the big house, ran a feature examining the quality of prison chow: "Jailhouse grub gets a bum rap." The Ventura County Star in California put together a package on "Unusual Suspects," serial bank robbers who have earned media-friendly names like "The Preppie Bandit," "The Big Nose Bandit" and – a personal favorite – "The Irreconcilable Differences Bandit, who told a teller "he was forced into a life of crime to pay for his divorce." In the "nothing is sacred anymore" category, the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal-Star gave its readers "The inside scoop on ICE CREAM MEN." Apparently, several of these supposedly good-humored men are actually long-time criminals.
Finally, the editors of the Culpeper (Va.) Star-Exponent surely had an easy night picking its lede: "Nude woman crashes truck." It would be fine to stop there, but the photo bears noting: Police officers holding sheets up to the U-Haul truck – sticking out of the side of a house – to shield Lady Godiva from the shutter-bug.

Experts are increasingly urging people to know their BMI, a figure that takes into account not just weight but also height to indicate body fat.
There is an epidemic of obesity in this country, health experts say. But what is obesity? How is it measured?
People can become obese by taking in more calories than they burn. Obesity also appears to be influenced by genetics. This video discusses the health risks associated with obesity and what treatment and lifestyle changes are commonly recommended.
If you are concerned about your weight, the first step should be a visit to your health care provider. Ask your provider what your weight loss goal should be, advises the Weight-control Information Network. Also ask: Is your excess weight affecting your health? How will losing weight help you?
Balanced Ways to Attain a Healthy WeightWhether you have tried to lose weight on your own or with the help of a weight-loss program, the focus is too often on severely restrictive diets and unrealistic goals, nutrition experts say.
