There's arguably never been a better time for technology companies and developers. The proliferation of billions of connected devices, coupled with the explosion of new platforms and services, has created countless business opportunities, many still yet to be exploited.
But thanks to increasingly complex litigation around intellectual property, namely patents, the technology industry has also arguably never had to deal with so many headaches.
The industry received some good news yesterday, however, as the judge in the Oracle-Google Java lawsuit ruled that APIs cannot be copyrighted. Previously, the jury in the case had decided that Google violated Oracle's copyrights in mimicking the structure and organization of Java APIs in Android.
The jury's decision, if left to stand, could have created an epic nightmare in the software world but yesterday Judge William Alsup reversed that decision, ruling that, under today's copyright law, Google did not infringe upon Oracle's Java copyrights. "So long as the specific code used to implement a method is different, anyone is free under the Copyright Act to write his or her own code to carry out exactly the same function or specification of any methods used in the Java API. It does not matter that the declaration or method header lines are identical," he wrote in his decision.
In other words, because Google essentially implemented API functions using its own code and not copyrighted code from Oracle, the mere fact that it copied naming conventions didn't mean it had infringed upon Oracle's copyrights. "To accept Oracle's claim would be to allow anyone to copyright one version of code to carry out a system of commands and thereby bar all others from writing their own different versions to carry out all or part of the same commands. No holding has ever endorsed such a sweeping proposition," Judge Alsup wrote.
As The Verge's Bryan Bishop notes, Judge Alsup's decision is based heavily on the specifics of the Oracle-Google case, not sweeping generalizations. This, in theory, makes it more likely to stand up on the appeal that Oracle is almost certainly going to file. That means that this ruling, if it is upheld on appeal, doesn't necessarily create a broad 'you can't copyright an API' precedent. But it does look like it could go a long way to protecting the rights of companies and individuals to implement their own software interfaces without worrying that they could be found guilty of copyright infringement solely on basis of the naming and structure of their APIs.
That's important, and as Google's post-ruling statements says, "It's a good day for collaboration and innovation." The icing on the cake: Oracle has now officially gained nothing from its litigation, sending a reminder to companies: you can always litigate, but in the end, it's often a losing proposition that distracts from the real way companies win in this business (building great products and services).

As students across LA head back to school from their Thanksgiving break, LAUSD's John Deasy will head back to his office with a lot of decisions to make after Proposition 30 passed on the November ballot.
With the state receiving an additional $6 billion in revenue, LAUSD has voted to restore its classroom calendar to the standard 180 days for the first time in five years of budget cutting, which Deasy publicly supported. The district will also rescind 10 furlough days teachers had agreed to, and will talk to other, much smaller employee unions about rescinding their furlough days.
The LAUSD school board also voted ot keep John Deasy in his role as superintendent through 2015. The LAUSD is also applying for high profile "Race to the Top" grants that the federal government will distribute, but the LA teachers' union is opposed to the grant on the grounds that it could overextend the district financially.

Wood has won out.
Jack Lyon, owner of 700 Center St. - a proposed wine store - has agreed to repair his building's wood siding and to use cedar siding (instead of vinyl or a wood alternative) on his addition and dormers. He emailed the Village of Lewiston Planning Board a new proposal on Monday morning. It was approved Monday night by both the Planning Board and the Village Board of Trustees.
"To the spirit of his new proposal, we're generally in agreement with, with some exceptions," Planning Board Chairman David Giusiana told trustees. "He is now proposing that he will be using all wood siding on the three sides of the building - east, south and west sides. Wood on the whole building, but leave the vinyl windows on the north side (the back side), with all wood windows on the east, south and west sides."
Lyon, who is in Oregon, was given permission to continue rehabbing his building. His spokesman, John Tripi Jr. of J.R. Building and Remodeling, said he will work through the winter to rebuild and restore the building's frame. If he's hired to do the job, that is.
Seven weeks ago, Lyon appeared before the Planning Board seeking to replace the wood siding on his two-story building with vinyl. Lyon said he encountered unexpected structural decay, and that he hadn't budgeted for new siding, let alone what he called more expensive wood siding.
Neither the Planning Board nor the Village Board would approve the use of vinyl siding on a historically designated building, and both chided Lyon for arbitrarily replacing the structure's wood windows with vinyl replacements.
The two boards met with Tripi at 700 Center St., right on the corner of North Seventh Street, on Sept. 6. Trustees were dismayed at the state of the building and what they deemed variations from a plan they approved in February. Last fall, Lyon pledged to restore the building, which was once owned by famed Lewistonians Peter Porter, Benjamin Barton and Bates Cooke.
At the Sept. 6 meeting, the Village Board asked Lyon to present a new plan, and told him he had to use wood or a wood alternative siding on the building.
Lyon agreed this week to do that, and quickly received approval to proceed.
"We certainly appreciate the fact that he is now proposing to use real wood products on the entirety of both buildings," Giusiana said.
Upon review of Lyon's new proposal, the Planning Board OK'd the following (as taken from the minutes):
"•Main building: Existing siding to be repaired and to remain as wood (cedar) siding.
"•Addition: 6" nominal exposure white painted wood (cedar) at addition and dormers. The new siding will go on pre-primed and will be painted in the spring after the weather is warmer. To be completed or no certificate of occupancy will be granted.
"•Carriage house: This building to be sided with painted wood (cedar) siding except the east side, which will be covered with fiber cement board per the building inspector for fire resistance."
"•Wood trim matching the original size will be used on both the main building and the addition.
"•Wood materials will be used for the soffits."
"•Wood, double-hung (no exceptions) windows will be installed on the east, south and west sides. Vinyl windows on the carriage house and on the north side of the main building."
"•The only door that is historic is the main entry near the corner. We will replace the three current painted steel doors on the south side with painted wood doors with a 3/4 glass light. ... The west door will not be installed as the deck is too costly.
"•The apartment doors are in new locations and are not historic. They are a panel style with 1/4 glass light and fit the style of the building. Since they will all be painted anyway, it is reasonable to use the doors already installed rather than mimic the one historic door as we will do on the front of the building."
"•The exterior stair to the apartments has been incorporated into the building along the north side. This allowed us to cover the stair with a gable matching the other gables on the building. Due to the severity of the winter weather, we felt it necessary to cover the stair for our future tenants' safety (Lyon will use the top floor for apartments). This was the least conspicuous means of doing so, and both the foundation and framing were inspected by the building inspector.
"•Removal of the structure already built will be costly and an open stair creates a public safety hazard we do not want to bear the risk for."
In addition to the above, Lyon will need the Planning Board to approve his choice of outside building color(s).
Moreover, he has removed a deck from his proposal. Since his wine bar has turned into a wine store, a deck is no longer necessary.
Lyon declined to comment on the board decisions.
The Planning Board requested Lyon put up a bond to ensure his building isn't left unfinished. At this point, however, neither the Village Board not its counsel, attorney Edward Jesella, are pursuing that course of action.

"The Grey" hits theaters this weekend. We got a chance to sit down with the film's star, Liam Neeson, who was gracious enough to shed light on how he prepares for roles and the work that must be done to make his characters authentic.
Hollywood Ham: Thanks Liam for joining us today. We're been big fans. Ever since Rob Roy actually.
Liam Neeson: Fantastic.
HH: So let's get started. Everyone wants to know about your new movie, The Grey. It's such a unique role. How does one even prepare for this?
LN: Simple. I had a helicopter drop me off in the Alaskan wilderness for three weeks.
HH: Such dedication.
LN: But that wasn't enough. When I got back, I needed more. I needed to feel what my character felt.
HH: You're a pro.
LN: So to really prepare for The Grey, I murdered 27 wolves.
HH: What?
LN: Also four foxes that I thought were wolves.
HH: How is that even possible?
LN: And one sled dog. I regret the incident.
HH: Ummmmm
LN: But to be fair, a sled dog had stolen my daughter and sold her into an international sex ring.
HH: So you killed a dog as retaliation?
LN: So to speak.
HH: What about the people who bought her and prostituted her? Did you kill them?
LN: Yes, the movie Taken was actually just my home video. I didn't know why my wife was recording at the time, but the fact is she was, and I'm forever grateful.
HH: You killed quite a bit of the Albanian mafia in that film, nevermind the Arab sheiks. Any concern about blowback from them?
LN: It's called Taken 2, and it's out next winter.

KABUL, Afghanistan --The international military coalition in Afghanistan says a man wearing an Afghan police uniform killed two NATO service members in southern Afghanistan.
Tuesday's assault appeared to be the latest in a string of insider attacks that have threatened to sever the partnership between international troops and the Afghan forces they are trying to train to take over responsibility for the country's security. There have also been cases of insurgents donning Afghan uniforms in assaults.
The NATO alliance does not give further details in its statement, saying the shooting is still under investigation.
At least 53 international troops have been killed in confirmed attacks by Afghan soldiers or police this year, and a number of other assaults are still under investigation.

Woman facing deportation moves into church
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio woman scheduled to be deported to Mexico has moved into a makeshift apartment inside a suburban Cleveland church that offered her sanctuary.
The Plain Dealer reports (http://bit.ly/2xxvgQ0 ) 42-year-old Lenora Garcia, of Akron, was supposed to be deported this week but immigration officials say they will not try to remove her from Forest Hill Presbyterian Church in Cleveland Heights.
Garcia has lived in the United States without documentation for more than 20 years and has four American-born children. Her husband was deported in 2011.
The pastor of the church said the decision to house Garcia was made after a discussion with the congregation. He says she has no criminal record and is involved in the community.

Thoughts on Snake Draft Strategy this Year?
I've been starting to prep fantasy this year and I was curious to see what people were thinking about the upcoming season. At this point I'm focused on general trends more than specific players (though not entirely), but feel free to add some opinions on specific players if you reply.
RB is a crap shoot
It seems like more RBs are getting old or coming off injury than the past few years. Add in the fact that the best free agent RBs seemed to join time shares and there are very few elite RB options that seem reasonably safe. If you can get one great, but this is a year where I'd be more willing to go for an elite QB in the 1st round and then aggressively target RBs in the next few rounds.
Where to draft Gronk and Graham
I'm always hesitant to target guys coming off huge seasons. Both players are certainly capable of repeating, but it seams more likely that they'll both have good years without being quite as ridiculous.
Plus, there's bound to be at least 1 guy in most leagues that drafts them very early. If you want one of them you'll have to take them so early that you're only getting fair value for your pick even if they repeat last year's production. If they have a good season, but not the historically good season they had in 2011, your pick is now a reach. Those aren't the kind of picks that win fantasy leagues.
Let's say for arguments sake you'd need to take Gronk in the 2nd round to get him. I think it's better to take a RB at that point. Most 2nd round RBs have a pretty decent chance at being a top 10 RB. If that happens you've probably exceeded the value of an average 2nd round pick. Plus you could grab a decent TE much later in the draft, and if he's any better than decent, you again have a good value pick.
If Gronk falls to the 3rd round that argument becomes weaker, but personally I'd still be wary. As for Graham, right now I'm thinking of him has having similar value to Gronk 1 round later. So if Gronk is fair value in round 4 (which some will think is way too late) then Graham would be fair value in round 5.
I'm conflicted on QBs!!!
In most 'standard' leagues you'll only start 1 QB, so not many QBs will be drafted. Because of this I feel like there is always a QB lull at some point. If you're that guy that takes a QB right before the big lull, you're left realizing that you could have waited another several rounds to take the same guy or at least a guy of similar value. For this reason I want to wait on a QB.
But then I feel like there's an increasingly persuasive argument to take a QB early. It's probably the most predictable position. If you use an early pick you're less likely to get hosed by injuries or competition for for targets or carries. A strong formula for a fantasy championship is hitting on a high % of early picks and then getting lucky with a few sleepers and/or waiver wire studs to put you over the edge.
A top 5 QB pick is more likely to actually be a top 5 QB, so having a QB as one of your early pick seems to fit in with this approach. Plus, if a top 5 QB is more likely to be a top 5 QB, then a 6-12 QB must be less likely to be a top 5 guy, so there's less sleeper potential.
I understand VBD (value based drafting) and why it tends to devalue QBs, but VBD does NOTHING to account for variability. The #1 RB may score way more than the #20 RB, but if you have little idea who the #1 RB back will be that doesn't do you much good. For this reason, I feel VBD overvalues less predictable position groups and undervalues more predictable position groups.
So as I said I'm conflicted as to which way to lean: take a QB early or wait. You need to be flexible so I wouldn't want to commit to either approach, but I would like have a feeling for which approach I value more before draft day rolls around.
I guess I should include WRs
I hate taking WRs early. As I just pointed out, I think VBD overvalues position groups that are less predictable. Of the 4 major fantasy positions, WR is definitely the most unpredictable. That's why I I'm likely to wait and then take a bunch in the middle to late rounds. Thoughts?

Re: Thoughts on Snake Draft Strategy this Year?
Good thoughts. I agree with you that going QB early may be worthwhile this year...usually I wait, but unless there's someone in the later rounds with a ton of potential (like Stafford last year), it's risky. And I don't see anyone like that in 2012.
Just finished a 10 team mock using a QB-early strategy. Drafted from the 5 spot, which is where I'll be in my main money league next month.
1.5 - QB Drew Brees, NO:
Top 4 picks are no real surprise - Foster, McCoy, Rice, and Rodgers. I pass on Calvin, CJ2K, and Mathews to take the best QB available.
2.6 - RB Ryan Mathews, SD:
If this happens in my real draft I'll be ecstatic. Mathews gets pushed down mainly because (as you wrote about), Gronk and Graham both get taken early in the 2nd. No interest in a TE that early, I'll grab a potential top 5 RB instead. If Mathews had been gone, other potential picks here included Forte, McFadden, Welker, and AJ Green.
3.5 - WR Mike Wallace, PIT:
McFadden and AJ Green almost make it back to me, but both get sniped right before I pick. Charles, DeMarco Murray, and Richardson were all on the board here, and all would have made an excellent RB2. But the pickings were getting slim on top WR, and I panicked a little bit. Probably would have done this differently if given another chance.
4.6 - WR Hakeem Nicks, NYG:
At this point all the top RB1 and RB2 are gone, so I'm looking at WR. Julio Jones almost made it here, but not quite. Nicks is by far the best of the remaining bunch that includes the likes of Dez, Steve Smith, and Brandon Marshall.
5.5 - WR Brandon Lloyd, NE:
Options at RB here included Helu, Bush, McGahee, and Greene...and while I need an RB2, I'm underwhelmed by those options at this point. So I round out by WR stable with a WR3 who has top-20 potential. I love Lloyd in NE, and I think he and Brady can do some great things. Other WRs here included Colston, Harvin, Austin, and Bowe.
6.6 - TE Antonio Gates, SD:
Vernon Davis gets picked right before this, and I sense a TE run coming. Decide to get in front of it and grab the best available option. I'm a little wary of Gates' injury history, but not enough to keep me from pulling the trigger.
7.5 - RB Isaac Redman, PIT:
At this point I feel I'm pretty well off at WR, and I've got top options at QB and TE. I've got a really good RB1, but it's past-time to add to the stable. I'm late to the buffet, pickings are slim...my best bet here is to just grab a handful of guys that I like, and hope that one or two can pan out into a decent RB2. Redman is the first pick. I'm fairly certain I won't get 16 starts from him, but he should do well in the early part of the season, while the rest of my RBs are finding their legs.
8.6 - RB C.J. Spiller, BUF:
I was targeting Doug Martin here, but he gets sniped two picks before mine. I almost took him in the 7th, but it felt too high. My mistake.
9.5 - RB James Starks, GB
10.6 - RB David Wilson, NYG
11.5 - RB LeGarrette Blount, TB
12.6 - WR Laurent Robinson, JAX
13.5 - TE Jared, Cook, TEN
14.6 - Steelers D/ST
15.6 - WR Jon Baldwin, KC
16.5 - K Matt Bryant, ATL
Final Roster:
QB Brees
RB Mathews, Redman, Spiller, Starks, Wilson, Blount
WR Wallace, Nicks, Lloyd, Robinson, Baldwin
TE Gates, Cook
DEF Pitt
K Bryant
In summary, this is why I hate going QB early. It puts you behind the 8-ball everywhere else. I was damn lucky that guys like Mathews and Nicks fell to me, or this could have ended up a lot worse. I didn't even get a backup QB, because in the mid-late rounds I was so focused on filling my gaping hole at RB2, that by the time I was done, every decent QB2 (and WR3/4) option was off the table.
Maybe a better option would have been to go Brees/Mathews, and then stick with RB and get Charles/Murray/Richardson instead of Wallace in the 3rd. I still would have landed Nicks in the 4th as a WR1, and could have added better WR2/3 options in the middle rounds. I think I may feel more comfortable continuing to wait on QB, and grabbing a guy like Matt Ryan in the 6th-7th round, a solid if not spectacular QB1 who has a potentially high ceiling.
Re: Thoughts on Snake Draft Strategy this Year?
I think part of the problem of taking a QB early is that there's a rough consensus in the fantasy football community that you can wait on a QB. Regardless of the actual value of a position, if most people in your league are going to wait on it you probably should too. Otherwise you run the risk of picking a guy early, and then several rounds later someone of similar value will still be available. Meanwhile, the position you didn't pick goes on a bit of a run, and when you come back to it you've lost a lot of value.
In the end, I guess it's more about knowing how your draft will play out, but that can be an incredibly hard thing to do. I've seen people try to do this that end up drafting in a reactionary manner, picking at the end of a positional run, when you actually want to do the opposite.
Re: Thoughts on Snake Draft Strategy this Year?
SteelFan, I had a few more thoughts on your mock that I didn't have time to post this morning.
- Ryan Matthews - Great value in the 2nd round. I guess I should start hoping for some TE reaches in my draft so I can find someone like this in the 2nd.
- Mike Wallace - I feel like if I'm going to take a Steelers WR this year it's going to be Antonio Brown. I think he has potential to put up identical numbers and can be had much later. I looked at a couple sites that track ADP and in 10-team leagues Wallace was going 4th round while Brown was goign 6th or 7th. Being a Steelers fan, I expect you have a better feel for this than I do. What are your thoughts on this?
Re: Thoughts on Snake Draft Strategy this Year?
Do not take a wide receiver before the 4th round. The position is absolutely loaded.Follow me on twitter at @dandrews66

Re: Thoughts on Snake Draft Strategy this Year?
I still think the strategy this year is to go QB and RB early - whether that's spending a first round pick on Rodgers or Brady, or looking for Stafford in the 2nd round. Ryan is the only guy I would consider waiting for, and as the preseason goes on, he's going to keep climbing up draft boards.
RB falls off quickly - after that tier of Richardson, Lynch, and the Jacksons, there's no one I really trust to start every week. Martin? Promising, but a rookie. Bradshaw? Maybe. Greene, Turner, Bush, Stewart? No thanks.
Meanwhile, WR is as deep as I can ever remember. WR1s are still around in the 4th - Nicks, Bryant, Harvin. Quality WR2s like Decker, Bowe, Brown, VJax are available in the 6th. Hell, you can wait until the 13th-14th round, grab a guy like Collie or Cobb, and they'll make spectacular WR3s with upside.

Floats about.

I call mine Wanda...
This pet is excellent to use against Stitches Jr. Jr. for the WQ in Dalaran, with Cleansing Rain and Pump.
i want to use him and blue carp in a team with blue carps magic attacks. can anyone recommend a good third?
This little guy is ADORABLE. LOVE HIM! <3
i received this guy when i traveled and completed a few quests in pandaria
Why is he still in a bubble when I am swimming under water? #justathought
I don't think I got mine from there, I got mine from the beginning panda area when you get there on the dropship thing. It's a bit after that and I think a quest from a friendly monkey but you don't have to be friendly with them because it's automatically neutral.
Where does the quest start for horde?
**update** for those horde confused by lack of correct information, The quest for this pet on HORDE side Quest is called "Whats in a Name Name?" Given by NPC Chief Kah Kah. Quest starts in Grookin hill, so you must be friendly with the monkey villages and have done the prior quests.
This little guy floats in a bubble beside you much like the Purple Puffer or Sea Pony do

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) - January 9, 2013 --One adult and four children were killed in an overnight fire in eastern Kentucky.
Pike County Coroner Russell Roberts confirmed the deaths to The Associated Press on Wednesday morning. Roberts said he could not give the ages of the people killed.
Fire officials told WYMT-TV the fire began just after 2:30 a.m. Wednesday in the Jonancy community of Pike County.
Pike County Emergency Management Coordinator Doug Tackett says the fire happened in a rural area of Pike County, about three hours southeast of Lexington in the eastern coal field area of the state.
Four children were also killed late Tuesday night in a fire at a duplex outside Atlanta. A fifth child was saved when his mother threw him from window to escape the fire in Conyers, Ga.

The most egregious example of local bureaucratic cock-ups came to a head today with the ceremonial groundbreaking for the deservedly delayed and much opposed $6 million Broadway-Brommer Bike Road.
Long opposed by real environmentalists, the Broadway-Brommer project has suffered a spotty history over the last twenty years. Originally conceived as a street for cars connecting Broadway in the City to Brommer Street in Live Oak, the project was axed by Santa Cruz City officials in response to environmental opposition. Later, as a paved bike road, the project was again laid to rest by a subsequent City Council.
Nevertheless, City Public Works staff, reluctant to lose out on one-and-a-half million dollars of "free"federal money, revived the moribund project. Over the years, the B-B morphed from a car road, to a Class One Bicycle Commuter route with an enormous bridge spanning Arana Creek, to a curving, up and down bike road with bridges over Hagemann Creek and Arana Creek. Finally, donning funny nose and glasses, B-B was disguised as a "multi-use interpretive trail," as the overwhelmingly dominant component of the yet to be implemented Arana Gulch Master Plan.
The B-B project follows the historical government tradition of "destroying the village to save it." Since all of Arana Gulch is declared Critical Habitat for the endangered Santa Cruz tarplant, Public Works staff struggled to find some way to justify building a paved road through the fragile species' only home. City officials had to find some way to make the project "resource dependent" to satisfy California Coastal Commission regulations for development in Sensitive Habitat Areas, such as Arana Gulch.
Thus was born the "interpretive trail." No, it's not a different route. Yes, it still paves over critical habitat of an endangered species. But now the project has interpretive signs that will describe what was lost when this Natural Area was drawn and quartered, north to south and east to west, by an 8 foot wide asphalt paved road with two feet of graded shoulder on either side, where nothing will grow.
The Boondoggle took it's first wee steps this week, kicked into a mockery of life with the traditional celebratory groundbreaking. Scores of brightly bedecked bicyclists joined toothy City Fathers... and one Mother, in the bright noon sun. A massive diesel backhoe supplied the necessary technology, mysteriously idling for no apparent reason, adding it's diesel fumes to the rapidly accumulating hot air.
To "Balance" this display of bureaucratic excess, Friends of Arana Gulch, a stalwart group of caring environmentalists who have consistently opposed the Broadway-Brommer project lo these many years, arrived in funereal black to mourn the demise of the Arana Gulch Greenbelt. Bearing signs saying, "Good-bye to the Greenbelt," "Shame," "Less trees, less grass, less wildflowers, less wildlife," "Is Broadway-Brommer really needed?" and "Save it, don't pave it," the Friends stood in silent vigil for the animals, plants and insects who have no say in the future of their home in Arana Gulch.
The assembled officials donned unfamiliar hardhats, grabbed golden-painted shovels, and, after instructions on which end to point at the ground, posed for the obligatory photographs. They scraped meager scratches into the hard packed earth, gratefully returned the shovels to those who know how to use them, and decanted into the crowd for obsequious self-congratulations.
Thus the fate of the Arana Gulch Greenbelt was signed, sealed and delivered. No longer a Natural Area, now an incipient Park for human recreation, and a paved shortcut for bicyclists in a hurry, Arana Gulch passes into history along with its sensitive species, unique habitat, its quiet, its open space, its true value.
Arana Gulch is now just another anonymous feature in the urban development that has inundated the landscape from Moore Creek to Valencia Creek, from the Santa Cruz Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
So long Arana Gulch!
It was good to have known you.

Ranchers worry about possible hay shortage
Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico have suffered drought conditions this past year. Oklahoma is the driest on record since the 1930s. Already devastated by an ongoing drought, Texas was hit hard last summer with out of control wildfires that ravaged agriculture and created billions of dollars in economic damage, the worst on record. Called 'the Summer from Hell', the state experienced more than 21,000 wildfires that burned through nearly 3.7 million acres.According to the Texas Forest Service, almost 2,000 homes were destroyed and ten people were killed, including four firefighters. The largest fire was in Bastrop County near the Texas capital of Austin, consuming nearly 500 homes and 34,000 acres. The fires also wrecked the Texas hay harvest. About 70 percent of Texas rangeland and pastures are classified as in very poor condition. Many ranchers chose to send their cattle to slaughter early or sell off their herds. Feed prices were out of control and hay was hard to come by. The sudden influx of meat did manage to suppress rising beef prices. That rise may turn meteoric in the future, however, as decreased herd numbers begin to affect beef supply again.Other states, including Nebraska, had plenty of hay and the ranchers that stayed in business in Texas were paying top dollar. A year ago a bale of hay sold for $80, now it goes for $120. That a 50 percent increase. Cory Banzhaf said trucking the hay grown near Pleasanton, Nebraska, to Texas and Oklahoma adds $50 to $70 to the cost of each ton, leaving ranchers there with bills of between $225 and $270 a ton. That's a great price if you're selling it, but economically crippling if you're the rancher buying the hay.Farmers that usually kept their hay for their own livestock or to sell to their neighbors leapt at the higher prices and started sending some of that hay down south. Brad Howard of V.C. Howard Hay Company in Litchfield has seen a boost in his business, which focuses on grinding hay and wet corn and on hauling corn and distillers grains from ethanol plants to Nebraska cattle feeders. There has also been an increase in haying road ditches. You need a permit to harvest along state highways but property along county road ditches can be hayed and baled without a permit. It is recommended to first give notice to the local county commissioner.As truckloads of hay leave the state, there is some concern about whether cattle and horse owners here will have an adequate supply for themselves. Howard said farmers who bale corn stover, soybean stubble and wheat stubble after harvest can mix those fillers with distillers grains in their livestock feed. Nebraska State Senator Deb Fischer suggests putting up extra hay this winter. "I know from personal experience there are times when no amount of hay can be wasted," said Fischer. "That time is now and every resource should be utilized to assist other farmers and ranchers."Farmers and ranchers in search of hay or have hay to sell can contact the Nebraska Cattlemen Association at the Lincoln Office at 402.475.2333 or the Western Nebraska office at 308-760-6464. You may also contact Nebraska Department of Agriculture's Hay Hotline at 800-422-6692. A page has also been created on Facebook for buying and selling hay. Search: The Hay Connection.

|Classic Southern style pinto beans, stewed with salt pork and cayenne pepper and always served with a side of cornbread.
Classic Southern Pinto BeansWe've had so many days of rain now that I've literally lost count, and according to our weatherman, there's more to come this week. Generally speaking, I don't mind the rain at all, well, so long as I don't have to drive anywhere in it at least. It's relaxing and cleansing, sort of washing away the world's residue and making everything fresh once it moves along.
I love the sound of the rain falling steadily against a window or spattering across a tin roof, and it's a good a reason as any on a Sunday afternoon to take in a marathon of old movies. Or a nap. Write a few new recipes and take my own sweet time in the kitchen. All of which I managed to do. After days and days of being waterlogged though, it does get a little tiring. Being wet is one of my least favorite things in the world, but then again, so is oppressive heat and at least we've gotten a little break from that.
Was a good enough reason to make a pot of beans and cornbread too if you ask me. Red kidney beans and white beans are the beans of choice down here in my part of the Deep South, much more so than pinto beans ever will be. I've prepared pintos before in the Deep South tradition, using a semi-Trinity, letting jalapenos stand in for the typical green sweet bell pepper, and seasoning with ham, bacon or the andouille smoked sausage that we love so much here. They're delicious... but they aren't what most folks in other areas of The South would call classic Southern pintos. These are, and they are delicious.
In some areas of the South, particularly in the Appalachian regions, these are referred to as soup beans. Not bean soup, but soup beans. Nobody has been quite able to explain why they are called soup beans and I have seen recipes from that area that are both similar to and very different from these. I guess like most all recipes, there are a multitude of variations in ways that folks make them.
Since pinto beans are the beans most often used in the Appalachians, most recipes do use pintos, though there are others that use some butter beans or some form of white bean such as navy or great Northern, and some even southern peas, like black-eyed peas. While pintos are probably the most traditional bean in soup beans, it appears that soup beans may also refer to any kind of bean prepared this way. From there the beans are usually cooked down with some form of pork - ham bone, hocks, fatback, salt pork, bacon, smoked sausage and maybe a mirepoix of vegetables. Soup beans are often served with chopped raw onion, pickled onion or even sweet pepper relish and always, cornbread.
Since I like to use salt pork, I don't season them except for a little bit of plain cayenne until after they cook. Because salt can make for tough beans if introduced too early, save the Cajun seasoning for the end when they are done. Give them a taste and add in a little salt and pepper then too, if it needs it.
I also like to stir in a little bacon drippings from my little vintage grease pot I keep in the fridge.
Even if you don't eat a lot of bacon, you should be saving those drippings because over time they will accumulate and there are many ways to use them. I keep mine in the fridge, just to keep it fresh since I don't use the drippings that often to keep it out on the counter. If you're not one to keep drippings though, butter is a perfectly acceptable stand-in, but don't be tempted to skip that step, because I find it makes a definite difference in the richness of the beans. Here's how to make them.
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Recipe: Classic Southern Pinto Beans©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 2 hours | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 pound of dry pinto beans
- 6 ounces of salt pork, diced
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings or butter
- Salt, black pepper and Cajun seasoning, to taste, as needed
Rinse, drain and pick through beans for stones or debris. Soak overnight covered with 8 cups of water, or use the quick cook method below. Drain, rinse and return to the pot. Cover with 8 cups of fresh water. Add the salt pork, onion and cayenne; bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, and cook uncovered for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until thickened and creamy. Do not allow to boil.
Stir in the bacon fat or butter, taste and season as needed with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Serve as is, or over hot, steamed rice, with raw or pickled onions and cornbread, corn muffins or cornmeal hoecakes on the side.
Cook's Note: Add in some diced smoked ham if you have some on hand.
Quick Cook: Rinse and sort beans. Cover with 8 cups of water and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat, cover and let sit for 1 hour.
Crockpot: Soak beans overnight, drain and rinse and place into crockpot. Saute salt pork and veggies; add to crockpot. Stir in all of the remaining ingredients, except for the salt, but including enough water to cover plus 2 inches. Cook on high until beans are tender, 6 to 8 hours, or low 9 to 12 hours. Length of time will depend on freshness of beans. When done, remove 1 cup of beans and mash, return to the crockpot and stir in to thicken.

Lady Hawks dominate Cowgirls 66-37
The Lady Hawks (13-7, 1-3) had an opening on the schedule due to a cancellation by Mountain View Junior College, so HC Head Women's Basketball Coach Earl Diddle took advantage of Southwest Texas Junior College's visit to the area and set up a game with the Cowgirls."We had a chance to play since they were up here on the SWCID capus," Diddle said. "It worked out well. They have a good team — they play other WJCAC teams as well — this late in the year, it's better than a practice and we were able to accomplish a lot of things."It was a non-conference outing for the Hawks, which they won handily, 66-37.Howard took charge out of the gate, building a 15-2 lead by the midway point in the first half and never letting up.Four Hawks scored in double digits. Marion Lemonnier had 14 points, while Anitria Flowers, Teiona Tarrant and Brittany Aikers each chipped in 11 during the rout, while Destinee Thrash added nine.It was a welcome win for Diddle and his squad, who have struggled since opening Western Junior College Athletic Conference play."We've lost some heartbreakers," Diddle said. "We've given three games away. We're hanging in there, but obviously we have to come up with a better performance in certain areas. We have a lot of kids who have never played in the WJCAC conference before. It's new to them."Diddle took the opportunity in a low-pressure game to work on some aspects of play he believes could be elevated."We were trying to get a little better," Diddle added. "We needed to work on the fundamentals of passing, not turning the ball over, blocking out — the little things."The Hawks held a 24-point advantage before a solid second half dashed any hopes of a rally from the Cowgirls.Both the men and women will be on the road today, resuming conference action against Odessa College. The ladies are slated to play at 5:45 p.m., with tip off set for the men at 7:45 p.m.

Creator: Powell, William Stevens, 1919-, collector.
Collection number: 3300
View finding aid.
Abstract: Papers collected by William S. Powell pertaining to Iredell and adjacent counties of North Carolina. The bulk consists of family correspondence, 1867-1901, and account books of two generations of the Goodman family. Letters are personal correspondence of Tobias Goodman (1814-1880) of Amity, Iredell County; his wife Ellen; and his sons and a nephew, including a building materials merchant at Hillsboro, Ill., a railroad employee at Birmingham, Ala., a resident of Lavon, Tex., and others.

Human Biology Major Requirements | Human Biology Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
Human Biology focuses on the study of the biological, physiological, nutritional, developmental, and evolutionary aspects of the human organism. The major has an extensive range of offerings with core courses emphasizing human function, genetics, nutrition, and evolution.
Students who major in Human Biology gain extensive skills within the laboratory environment, including physiological, cellular, molecular, and statistical analyses. The laboratories house state-of-the-art instruments and equipment for students to gain valuable experience. Participation in faculty research projects or internships is strongly encouraged.
All Human Biology majors complete an area of emphasis within the program. There are five areas of emphasis within the major:
- The general emphasis is appropriate for students seeking careers in industrial, managerial, or sales positions in biological or health-related industries or entry-level research positions with pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies.
- The health science emphasis provides preparation for medical, dental or other health-related professional schools, or for graduate programs in biological or biomedical sciences.
- The exercise science emphasis provides background for careers in exercise physiology/fitness, sports medicine, biomechanics, physical therapy, or occupational therapy.
- The cytotechnology emphasis is offered in affiliation with professional programs of cytotechnology at UW-Madison, the Marshfield Clinic, and the Mayo Clinic. Cytotechnology is the microscopic study of cells primarily for detection of cancer. This emphasis leads to a degree in Human Biology with eligibility for professional certification.
- The nutritional sciences/dietetics emphasis provides a focus on the biological and physical principles of nutrition. This emphasis is accredited as a Didactic Program in Dietetics by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetic Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Employment opportunities include healthcare, nutrition education, governmental and community health agencies, fitness facilities, public policy, agribusiness, and the food service industry. Students who successfully complete this program may apply for entry into a Dietetic Internship program, which is required to become a registered dietitian. Registered dietitians provide food and nutritional services with a focus on health promotion and disease prevention.
The Human Biology major/minor may be combined with other majors/minors for students interested in areas such as scientific journalism, scientific illustration, biological photography, genetic counseling, bioinformatics, public health administration, pharmaceutical sales, or other health-related professions.

Act represents first major reform to New York's charities laws In more than 40 years
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, joined by State Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer (R-Amherst), Assemblyman James Brennan (D-Brooklyn) and nonprofit leaders from across the state, celebrated Friday's passage of sweeping, bipartisan legislation to overhaul the laws governing New York's nonprofit sector. The attorney general's Nonprofit Revitalization Act represents the first major overhaul to New York's charities laws in more than 40 years. The bill, Schneiderman's camp said, includes substantial reforms that will cut red tape while enhancing governance and oversight of nonprofits. The A.G.'s bill was sponsored by Ranzenhofer and Brennan, and it passed unanimously in both the Senate and Assembly.
Nonprofit organizations operating in New York generate hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue - the highest of any state in the nation - and are responsible for one in seven jobs in New York state. Yet the lingering recession and slow economic recovery present unprecedented strategic challenges for nonprofits. The public's trust in the nonprofit sector has also been tested, as stories of public officials and others abusing charities have emerged. The A.G.'s bill, he said, will make New York competitive with other states in continuing to attract and nurture the most vibrant nonprofits in the world, and it will make New York a model for nonprofit governance and oversight.
"New York's nonprofit sector rivals any in the nation, providing crucial services to families and institutions across the state," Schneiderman said. "But for too long, it's been hamstrung by red tape in some areas, and lacked oversight in others. (Friday's) vote, the first reform to our charities law in decades, will allow charities to do what they do best: powering our economy, supporting vulnerable citizens and our most treasured institutions. I am grateful to Sen. Ranzenhofer, Assemblyman Brennan, Majority Leader Skelos and Speaker Silver for their leadership in guiding this bill to passage. I also thank the New York State Bar Association and countless nonprofit organizations that have worked for years to see this day."
Schneiderman's bill is the product of more than two years of work by the A.G.'s office, and a year of legislative deliberation and negotiation. Shortly after taking office, Schneiderman convened a first-of-its kind leadership committee on nonprofit revitalization, a group consisting of 32 leaders of nonprofit organizations large and small from across the state. Last year, the committee issued a comprehensive report to the A.G. that included 38 concrete recommendations to revitalize and renew New York's nonprofit sector. A copy of the leadership committee's report is available here. The committee's recommendations formed the basis of the A.G.'s Nonprofit Revitalization Act. Chief of the Attorney General's Charities Bureau Jason Lilien, with Senior Advisor and Special Counsel to the Attorney General James Katz and Senior Legislative Counsel Justin Berhaupt, led efforts on behalf of the A.G. to draft and negotiate the bill.
The Nonprofit Revitalization Act makes a number of key reforms to New York law that have long been sought by the charitable sector and legal practitioners. Nonprofit organizations will now be able to incorporate, dissolve and merge more easily; communicate and hold meetings using modern technology like Skype and videoconference; and enter transactions without having to go to court. At the same time, the bill includes crucial oversight and governance reforms that will help protect taxpayer dollars and preserve public trust. Nonprofit boards will have to perform stricter oversight of insider deals, and the A.G. will be better able to hold insiders accountable for abuse. The bill requires the adoption of more robust financial oversight requirements, conflict of interest policies, and whistleblower policies to protect nonprofit employees from retaliation when they identify wrongdoing. A summary of the bill's provisions is included below.
Ranzenhofer, chair of the Senate Corporations, Authorities and Commissions Committee, said, "I am very proud of (Friday's) accomplishment. The passage of the Nonprofit Revitalization Act represents government at its best. Through the public hearings my office held across the state and Attorney General Schneiderman's Nonprofit Revitalization Committee, we engaged nonprofit leaders directly and crafted meaningful reforms that make sense in the real world. This is a model that should be replicated in all areas of policymaking, and I am grateful to Attorney General Schneiderman and Assemblyman Brennan for their partnership in this process."
Brennan, chair of the Assembly Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions, said, "Passing reform this sweeping is no small task. Attorney General Schneiderman is to be commended for bringing all of the interested parties together to develop these comprehensive and forward-looking proposals. Speaker Silver and Majority Leader Skelos also deserve our thanks. The reform of the state's not-for-profit corporation law was much needed and long-overdue. This legislation represents the right balance between ridding the current law of unnecessary and burdensome requirements, strengthening the governance structures of nonprofit corporations and enhancing oversight over them. Charitable organizations and the thousands of New Yorkers that benefit from their work are better off today."
Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein, chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, said, "Once the Nonprofit Revitalization Act is signed into law, nonprofits and the courts will instantly benefit from modernized, streamlined processes. The heavy, unnecessary burdens of multi-level reviews of nonprofit transactions by government will be alleviated, without sacrificing crucial oversight. As a result, nonprofits and the courts can focus time and resources serving the public. I applaud the attorney general, Assemblyman Brennan, and Sen. Ranzenhofer on this historic achievement."
Susan Hager, president and CEO of the United Way of NYS, said, "The bipartisan proposals contained in the Nonprofit Revitalization Act have been a long time coming. They strike the right balance in achieving comprehensive modernization of state law to assist charitable organizations, and requiring common sense board of directors oversight to ensure donor confidence. This process has been a model of policymaking transparency. The bill is the product of a task force of legal and philanthropic experts convened by Attorney General Schneiderman that I was proud to co-chair. The significant reforms in this bill are also the result of leadership by the attorney general and the Legislature to engage in an extensive dialogue with the nonprofit community. We also commend Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer for holding statewide public hearings, and Assemblyman James Brennan for his strong support and negotiations in good faith. We urge the governor to sign this bill into law as soon as possible."
Michael Stoller, Executive Director of the Human Services Council of New York, said, "The Human Services Council, representing the nonprofit human services sector in New York, is a long-time advocate of reform in the way New York state monitors and does business with the sector. We deeply appreciate the work of Attorney General Schneiderman, Sen. Ranzenhofer, Assemblyman Brennan and their staffs in generating the political will to take this important step toward a more rational and efficient framework for governing nonprofits. We look forward to working with them, as well as with the governor and the comptroller, on further improvements."
Marylou Borowiak, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Western New York, "The Food Bank of Western New York is in strong favor of nonprofit laws that promote good governance practices and improve oversight. We applaud Attorney General Schneiderman's leadership on this issue and Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer's sponsorship of this important legislation. We look forward to seeing it signed into law."
Clotilde Perez-Bode Dedecker, president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, said, "Attorney General Schneiderman's bill is the product of the Leadership Committee for Nonprofit Revitalization, which I was proud to co-chair. The Attorney General's committee was a first-of-its kind chance for New York's nonprofit organizations - upstate, downstate, large and small - to make their voices heard in reshaping New York's charities laws. I commend Attorney General Schneiderman for facilitating the open and inclusive process in which these reforms were developed."
Summary of the Nonprofit Revitalization Act of 2013
•The Nonprofit Revitalization Act will bring reform in two main areas:
•The Nonprofit Revitalization Act will give New York the strongest nonprofit governance regime in the country. These bills will:
Schneiderman's Nonprofit Revitalization Act will also streamline and modernize New York law to remove unnecessary burdens, save taxpayer dollars, and help nonprofits focus resources on providing services by:
•Streamlining procedures for nonprofit mergers, property sales and corporate dissolutions, so that funds needed for ongoing charitable programs are not wasted on unnecessary red tape;
•Modernizing laws to allow nonprofits to conduct their affairs more efficiently, such as permitting nonprofits to use email and video technology for meetings and allowing boards to delegate the approval of small transactions to committees; and
•Eliminating unnecessary and costly requirements for nonprofits forming in New York, saving nonprofits money and time and allowing them to commence charitable programs more quickly.

The USHMM is America 's national institution for the documentation, study and interpretation of Holocaust history. The museum, library and archive serve as America 's memorial to the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust, i.e., the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims – six million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped and Poles also were targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war and political dissidents also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny. In light of the re-emergence of a new generation of violent, anti-Semitic regimes that teach hate and violence against Jews, as well denial of the Holocaust in books and libraries, websites, schools, universities, and the media, the USHMM's educational mission becomes all the more urgent: to advance and disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy; to preserve the memory of those who suffered; and to encourage its visitors to reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events of the Holocaust as well as their own responsibilities as citizens of a democracy. The Museum's resources and specialized reference services support the public, librarians, family history researchers, school children, and visiting fellows.

She give us a solid perspective on growing our life differently in the chapter, Becoming a Noble Woman. As an example, here is a short excerpt from that chapter: Every moment you create your own reality. Chose a reality of virtues and light. Say No! to the negative thoughts. Say No! to no. You can create an environment around you that will elevate others. You can become worthy of worship and praise. Is this a control game? You bet it is. Its got a simple title: Whos in charge here? you or your mind. Now translate you into your soul.

I highly recommend this book to all women.
Reviewer: G.J.K. New Mexico
Sangeet Kaur Khalsa is my teacher, my friend, my mentor. When I attended my first Womanheart workshop in 2000, it changed my life. I have since attended about 8 or 9 of her workshops. I have read the print off the pages of her book, and have recommended it to many of my own students. Her book is a most amazing read. You will learn things about yourself you never knew on the conscious level, and yet your subconcious knows. I highly recommend this book to all women. I also highly recommend you attend all of her Womanheart workshops. I am now a Kundalini Yoga Teacher since 2004, and I have attended many of her workshops and use all I have learned from her when I teach. You do not have to become a yoga teacher; you do not have to be a Sikh; this information is for every woman of every race, creed and orientation. Do yourself a favor....buy the book AND attend a workshop. You will not be sorry.
Inner Strength and Fulfillment
Reviewer: Snatam Kaur USA
"The first time I felt like I really got to meet Sangeet Kaur Khalsa, was when we went to Phoenix this spring. She did numerology readings for the whole band and our family. I felt like she was spot on target with the family's readings, and the other band members felt the same way. At that point I realized she was somebody special, and got right down to reading her book called "Womanheart." That was a great journey. Her book gave me some powerful insights into my inner strength as a woman, and how I could bring that strength into every aspect of my life for more joy and fulfillment. I highly recommend her book, especially for women looking to improve their relationships with their partners, or who are looking for a fulfilling relationship.
