Beef short-courses give cow-calf producers valuable information
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's 2010-11 Beef Short-Course program, "Staying Competitive in an Ever-Changing Beef Cow-Calf Industry," will be broadcast on NET 2 in December and January.
Each session will be broadcast at 7 p.m. Dec. 16 and Jan. 13, 20 and 27. Each presentation will end at 8 p.m. and be followed by a question and answer session.
The short-course series is designed to help cow-calf producers remain competitive in an industry that is constantly changing.
"The cow-calf enterprise is a complex production system," Rick Rasby, UNL Extension beef specialist. "For producers to be competitive, they need to integrate human, financial and feed resources in their operation."
Rasby said the programs will help producers integrate resources and increase the profit potential of their cow-calf enterprise.
The Dec. 16 session will focus on "Animal Identification and Using Ear Tag Technology as a Management Tool." Presenters during this session will be Rasby, Nebraska Department of Agriculture's Lynn Gordon, producers Mark and Bonnie Wagner and Midwest Microsystems' Tim Davis.
The session on Jan. 13 will cover "Working with Your Banker in Tough Economic Times: What to Include and how to Get Your Financial Portfolio Ready."
"Optimum Cow Size: Matching Cow Size and Milk Production and Your Resources" will be one of two topics covered Jan. 20 with Rasby and Matt Spangler, UNL Extension beef cattle specialist. The other topic is "Getting Your Bull's Battery Ready for the Breeding Season."
The final session on Jan. 27 with Rick Funston, UNL Extension beef cattle reproductive physiologist, will focus on "Managing Calving Interval and Its Impact on Profit Potential" along with "Estrous Synchronization Protocols for Beef Cows and Heifers."
To get involved with the question and answer sessions, call 1-800-562-1576 or (402) 472-0638 on the nights of the sessions.

E-cigarette row could block new EU tobacco rules -diplomats
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Disagreement over how to regulate the booming market for electronic cigarettes is holding up a deal on strict new rules governing tobacco products in the European Union, diplomats said on Monday.
In talks aimed at finalising the legislative proposals by the end of the year, the European Parliament has pushed for a light touch approach to e-cigarettes, which it regards as a less harmful alternative to smoking.
But with a lack of clear evidence on the long-term health impact of e-cigarettes, EU governments have sought more restrictive rules, saying the amounted of nicotine contained in the cigarettes should be limited.
That could threaten the continued growth of a fast-growing market that some analysts say could eclipse the $700 billion a year regular cigarette market within 10 years.
Unless negotiators can reach a compromise in two final rounds of talks this week, the row could delay by up to two years the adoption of a wider package of tough new anti-tobacco controls. They include larger health warnings on cigarette packets and a ban on menthol and other tobacco flavourings.
The alternative would be to leave e-cigarettes unregulated at EU-level as at present, leaving each government to decide individually what rules - if any - to apply.
"I don't think we will get a deal on e-cigarettes," said one EU diplomat close to the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to talk to journalists.
The main sticking point is the parliament's demand that e-cigarettes can be sold with refillable nicotine cartridges, rather than as single-use items as demanded by member states.
Several governments, including Britain and Germany, are concerned that at the nicotine concentration level of 20 milligrams per millilitre being discussed, one 10 ml refill cartridge would contain more nicotine than a carton of 200 cigarettes.
"The parliament has said that unless refillable cartridges are allowed, it will veto the package," said another senior EU official involved in the discussions.
"So it is possible that refillable cartridges could block the entire deal."
Other elements of the proposals where governments and the parliament broadly agree include graphic new health warnings combining pictures and text that will cover 65 percent of the front and rear of cigarette packs.
There will also be a ban on menthol-flavoured cigarettes, although it will only come into effect 6 years after the rules are finalised. Vanilla and other flavours seen as particularly attractive to children will be phased out more quickly.
With agreement elsewhere, e-cigarettes are the last remaining hurdle to the adoption of draft EU tobacco rules that have been more than three years in the making, and the subject of intense lobbying by the tobacco industry and health campaigners alike.
The global market for e-cigarettes - battery-powered tubes that turn nicotine-laced liquid into vapour - was estimated at more than $2 billion last year by market consultant Euromonitor. They usually sell for about $30 to $50 each.
Big tobacco firms including Philip Morris owner Altria (MO.N), British American Tobacco (BATS.L) and Imperial Tobacco (IMT.L) have all moved into the fast-growing market, to try to offset a decline in sales of ordinary cigarettes.
A study published in The Lancet medical journal earlier this year showed that smokers who switch to e-cigarettes are at least as likely to quit or cut down as users of nicotine patches.
Proponents say there is no evidence of any harm from using e-cigarettes, while tobacco smoking continues to kill 700,000 people in Europe each year and as many as 6 million worldwide.
But health professionals remain wary, with the World Health Organization saying that until e-cigarettes have been endorsed as safe and effective by regulators, consumers should be strongly advised not to use them.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to release rules this month extending its "tobacco product" authority to cover e-cigarettes, which could prompt new legislation.

I did go to school for Marine Biology, but the cool thing is… the greatest thing for me is that Polynesians, our gods, Kahoali, Maui, all these water gods, so it's really cool and a honor to be playing a [water] character. And there's not too many brown superheroes, so I'm really looking forward to representing the Polynesians, the natives.
My family are some of the greatest water men on earth. I'm not, but I'm going to go train with them. But it's really an honor just being a Polynesian. And water is the most important thing in this world and we all know it. It's cool be a part of DC's universe.

Nigeria officially beat Ebola — Here's how
After 42 days without a newly reported case, Nigeria is officially Ebola free, the World Health Organization announced Monday, less than a week after Senegal also surpassed twice the disease's maximum incubation period.
Nigeria is a "spectacular success story," WHO Country Director Rui Gama Vaz said in a press conference in the capital of Abuja earlier Monday.

good location, clean, good value
The sites and food
The filth in the streets and beggers everywhere
Value, and location between Parthenon and museum. Friendly staff, took care of our early- arrived bags
If you can't stand small rooms and lobby-only WiFi, you might want to pay more and stay elsewhere. It was perfect for our needs and expectations.
Close to the metro
Unsafe area, accosted on two different situations, once at 8 a.m. on Athina Ave.
godt til prisen centralt beliggenhed
Although in Athens' (shockingly decayed, dreary, graffiti-scarred) downtown area, it's in walkable distance to the Parthenon and other major tourist attractions. Good views from rooms on upper floors and the roof. Conscientious cleaning staff.
No Wi-Fi above the second floor. Very limited breakfast.
Proximity to city, wifi access, helpful staff, cleanliness, breakfast buffet, old fashioned lift and spiral staircase.
Small shower - impossible to shower without wetting floor, had to use hand held function.
The location was excellent for sight seeing
There was no wifi except on the first floor. There was no shower curtain and the bathroom was in poor condition. Poor selection for breakfast. Overall the room was not very comfortable.
The location is close to the Metro making it very convenient. The view from the top of the Acropolis was great. The staff were very helpful.
The hotel was an older building with some of the views out of the room were of an old run down building. Breakfast was OK, nothing to write home about.
From the Cecil we were able to spend 2 nights/1 day of sightseeing in Athens prior to Island Hopping for the rest of our vacation. The Cecil is conveniently located to take the Hop On/Hop Off bus tour and to walk to shopping and dining.
With the airport being so far away from the centre of Athens visitors arriving later in the day with luggage must take taxis rather than public transportation.
all other
Great area for shopping and not far from centre.
I was told a breakfast could be made available as I was leaving early...this wasn't done. Wi-fi very poor. Quite noisy.
The location
No hot water No internet No lift to the 4th floor(where we were) The lift engine was behind the wall in our room ...... No sleep ! Shower fixtures falling off the wall.
Location, price, accommodating staff.
Comfort of bed, smoking in hotel, quality of breakfast.
Hotel staff View Breakfast Location within Athens Clean, comfortable room Affordable
No parking area.
We liked the friendly and helpful staff.
There was no screen on window so Mosquitos ate me alive.
The bed and the pillow.
The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful and always available. The location was within walking distance to everything we wanted to see.
Great location, and quiet, despite being in such a busy neighbourhood. Could walk to all the major sites. Staff are friendyly and helpful. We had a room on the roof, with a fabulous view - would have been great if there was some patio furniture. Decent breakfast.
No safe in the room. The hotel encouraged you to leave the key at the desk. When we came in later in the day a different man was at the reception, and he readily handed over our key when we gave ther room number, even though he hadn't met us before. Made me a bit worried about the security of our belongings.
Location and accommodating staff.
Carpet in the hallway was dirty and had an odor; shower curtain in our room was dirty; blanket in the closet was not clean.
There was a problem with the hot water in the shower but it was fixed right away. The location is close to many restaurants and walking distance to the Acropolis.
Very poor wifi connection; could only log on in the breakfast room.
Location was excellent...close to metro station and close to markets and Acropolis..lots of wonderful restaurants and cafes close by. Staff very helpful and friendly Breakfasts were good. Rooms were clean. Beds comfortable.
We stayed here for two nights when we first arrived and our room and bathroom was very small. The air conditioning didn't work. We stayed for one night at the end of the holiday and we had a nice room...bigger... this time with air conditioning that worked.
Interesting building, good location. Tea making facilities just down the hall.
But tired and tatty - bathrooms in particular teeny tiny and in need of updating. Breakfast a bit do it yourself. But it's cheap so expectations weren't high.

I love that feeling you get when you don't remember that you're reading. When you're so captured by a book that you forget you're reading the words. All you see is the descriptions and conversations that being to play out like a movie in your head. You don't even think about it. Then before you know it, you've read 100 pages without realizing it. That's probably the best feeling in the world.

The Redskins' Trent Williams Tried To Golf, And It Ended In Hilarity
Many athletes like to play golf in their spare time. Michael Jordan? Avid golfer. Tony Romo? Legitimately good golfer. But not everyone plays golf regularly. And when those people do pick up the clubs, they tend to look like they've never played before in their lives. And it is hilarious.
Case in point: Redskins offensive lineman Trent Williams. Williams' teammate Brian Orakpo held a charity golf outing recently, and several Redskins tagged along. Many less-than-stellar golf swings were documented, and you can see them below, but Williams stands out – mostly because after his swing, he can't stand (or, uh, make contact with the ball). He comes in around the 1:20 mark:
Ouch. Maybe Orakpo can give him a few lessons. Actually… maybe not.

Squash, Winter
Annuals, Vegetables
Winter squash is grown for harvest in late summer or fall; it stores well and is used for baking and for pies. Varieties come in many shapes (turban, acorn, and banana are a few), sizes, and colors; all have hard rinds and firm, close-grained, good-tasting flesh. Blossoms and tiny, developing fruit at the base of female flowers can be eaten as delicacies.
Winter squash is planted and grown on vines like pumpkins; it typically needs plenty of space. If space is limited there are a few bush varieties, such as 'Cream of the Crop', a yellow acorn type, and 'All Seasons Hybrid', a buttercup type. Most kinds are ready to harvest 60 to 110 days after sowing. Types for storing include small kinds such as 'Table Ace' and other acorn types, butternuts, and buttercups; and the large blue Hubbard varieties and banana squash. Spaghetti squash stores as well as any other winter squash, but when you cut it open after cooking, you find that the nutty-tasting flesh is made up of long, spaghetti-like strands. Winter squash doesn't grow well in high heat and humidity.
Bush varieties can be planted 2–4 ft. apart in rows. If planted in circles ("hills"), they need more room; allow a 4-ft. diameter for each. Vining squash needs 5-ft. spacing in rows, 8-ft.-diameter hills.
Give all kinds of squash rich soil and periodic fertilizer. Roots need regular moisture, but leaves and stems should be kept as dry as possible to prevent leaf and fruit diseases. Squash should stay on vines until thoroughly hardened; harvest with an inch of stem and store in cool place (about 55°F/13°C).
Squash bugs cause leaves to wilt and may damage fruit. To control, destroy yellowish to brown egg clusters on undersides of leaves; trap adults with boards or burlap set in the garden at night, then collect and destroy your catch each morning. Various insecticides are also labeled for control of squash bugs.

Dresser-Rand picks up multiple contracts
Send this to a friend
Rotating equipment provider Dresser-Rand Group Inc. had been awarded three contracts to supply equipment for onshore and offshore projects.
Houston-based Dresser-Rand (NYSE: DRC) has entered into two, five-year agreements with Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil to supply new compression and power-generation equipment, and to supply aftermarket parts and service for existing turbo machinery, in a contract valued at $1 billion. According to Dresser-Rand, the agreements include extension options for an additional five years.
Dresser-Rand also secured a $154 million contract from an undisclosed company to supply advanced turbomachinery for a floating production, storage and offloading vessel. The company said the contract will be executed under an existing agreement between Dresser-Rand and BP.
Another undisclosed company awarded Dresser-Rand an $11 million contract to supply its first Integrated Compression System to boost the gas compression capacity on the Petrobras P-18 semi-submersible platform in the Campos Basin's Marlin Field. The contract is expected to be signed this month. Dresser-ICS is an advanced technology platform that provides a complete compression system for applications in upstream, midstream and downstream markets and, according to Dresser-Rand, has the industry's smallest footprint -- with reduced weight -- at the lowest total installed cost.

The Albori architecture studio, Emanuele Almagioni, Giacomo Borella and Francesca Riva, designed "Casa Solare" perched 1750 m above sea level in the village of Vens, Val d'Aosta. The use of locally sourced, untreated larch to build this striking retreat has connected it with its surroundings and allowed its roots to spread. This wood will change colour in time, so the home will blend into the mountain landscape even further.
The house frame has open beams on the southern facade, with abundant windows facing the sun and allowing light into all the rooms, while the other sides of the building are all effectively insulated.
Casa Solare owes its name to the master of the house - solar energy , which is used in a number of ways: it is directly collected through the windows situated on the southern façade, released more slowly by the minerals in the PCM (Phase Change Material) panes integrated into the façade, then turned into power by the photovoltaic panels on the roof.
The wood-burning stove on the ground floor is the only other source of energy in the house.
The interior decoration choices are also worthy of note: the furnishings were made by the architects themselves from recycled materials and wood.
A truly nature-based project, which offers sustainable living in the mountains and sets a brand new precedent by staying in touch with its surroundings.

September 2011 was the busiest month in the history of the Lafayette Regional Airport, topping the record number of passengers who flew in and out of Lafayette more than a year ago in May 2010.
According to KATC, 21,093 passengers boarded planes in September, with 22,373 passengers also getting off their planes in Lafayette during the same month. Both are new records for the airport, Lafayette Airport Commission Chairman Paul A. Guilbeau tells KATC.
All airlines reported 77 percent capacity:
"September was not only a great month, but one for the record books. Through the third quarter of 2011, 338,611 people chose to fly Lafayette," says Guilbeau. "This is a tremendous show of support for our airport and we appreciate all the Acadiana travelers who are choosing Lafayette Regional Airport. The immediate future looks bright for us. With the addition of a nonstop carrier to Las Vegas in November and another carrier bringing in larger aircraft with more seats in December, we anticipate breaking last year's record for passengers."
The record-breaking news comes less than a month after airport officials began publicly discussing how to fund a new terminal for the airport, a much-needed project that's expected to cost $60 million and take upwards of five years to find funding.
According to The Advocate, the airport is funded partially by a 1.71-mill property tax, but "that money can be used only for operations and maintenance, not new facilities."
Shoppers familiar with Louisiana-based Rouses Market might be surprised when they walk into the new third location set to open at the Corner of Johnston Street and Duhon Road south the Acadiana Mall on Wednesday.

HUNTSVILLE – Ms Meredith has a class full of humanitarians.
Gravenhurst's beloved mock Civil War soldier has passed on.
Known by many as the man dressed in American Civil War attire and riding his white horse Chico through town, Tom Brooks passed away on March 28 in his 67th year.
An avid historian, Brooks was an American Civil War re-enactor for nearly 20 years, re-enacting the 10th Louisiana Infantry, even writing a book on that unit.
Along with his love of history, Brooks was a lover of animals.
"Your horse is a mirror to your soul … Everything I learned about horses, I learned from the horses themselves," Brooks told this paper in January 2012.
The image of Brooks and his gallant companion Chico has been preserved for the ages by local artist Helene Adamson, who also enjoyed a brief friendship with the Gravenhurst legend after painting his likeness in early 2010.
"As a portrait painter, I'm always looking for an interesting subject, and Tom certainly was that," said Adamson, who became acquainted with Brooks and his horse Spider when she and her husband moved to Gravenhurst in 1999.
"As a horse lover, I was always particularly pleased to encounter the two of them," she said. "Like everyone in town, we'd continue to get such a kick out of seeing Tom with Spider, and later Chico, as he carried out his errands around town."
Some of those errands even included trips through the drive-thru at Tim Hortons or McDonald's.
Adamson said her relationship with Brooks came naturally.
"I just knew him a little bit, but I think if you're an animal lover and you meet someone else who is, you just really connect in a special way," said Adamson.
Adamson said she often chatted briefly with Brooks and greeted him as he rode by, but that was all the interaction they had until she stopped him to ask if he would let her paint him. He agreed.
"The portrait was a joy to paint," said Adamson. "Tom's face has such great character."
Adamson said she sent Brooks a note to thank him, which initiated a quasi-pen pal relationship.
"His letter in reply was a delight – old-fashioned in the nicest way, yet revealing a dry and sometimes self-deprecating humour," described Adamson.
She said Brooks enclosed a photo of his horses Girl, Chico, and Sadie, and his donkey Jessie, calling them "the three horses and a donkey that own me."
"Having seen him with Spider and Chico, I had witnessed Tom's obvious love for his horses, but now I learned that all his horses had been rescue animals," said Adamson. "What a very kind man he was."
Since his passing, friends of Brooks have taken over the care of his four-legged family members.
Adamson said Brooks came to see the portrait on display, which caused some double-takes from onlookers as he stood next to the painting in his Civil War duds.
"He was pleased with it, and we chatted a bit, more about horses than about art," said Adamson.
Weeks later, however, Brooks called Adamson to inquire about purchasing the portrait. "When he and his handsome doggie came in his van to pick it up, I was pleased I'd wrapped the picture," she said. "He placed it carefully, but I couldn't help noticing that next to it in the van was a bucket of manure. Tom was a very responsible rider and diligently practised poop-and-scoop. Every couple of days he'd drive along his route to and from town and retrieve Chico's droppings."
Adamson said her letter exchange with Brooks continued over the months to follow.
"His correspondence was always postmarked 'The Muskoka Fleet,'" she explained. "Ever the history buff, he'd obviously taken the time to mail them from the post office at the wharf."
Brooks' love of history sparked controversy in July 2012 when he erected a German flag at the entrance of his farm. Some local residents took offence to the flag, assuming Brooks was a Nazi supporter.
The flag flown at his home was used by the German Empire from 1871 to 1918, before Hitler came to power, but is sometimes used to express neo-Nazism in Germany, since the swastika was banned.
Describing himself as "a small-c conservative with liberal tendencies," Brooks said he just happened to like the flag – one of many flags flown at his home over the years, including everything from the Scottish lion, and the Welsh dragon, to the Australian flag.
Although their friendship was brief, Adamson said Brooks' spirit has had a resonating impact.
"I thought Tom was a grand fellow and feel very fortunate to have known him a little," she said. "He was one-of-a-kind, and like many others in town, I shall miss him."
A private memorial has been planned for Brooks by his close friends and will take place this summer.

"We will, without any hesitation, decisively take the necessary steps regarding the downed Turkish plane by Syria," he added.
