Update: With 96 percent of districts reporting, Wendy Long won with 51 percent of the vote, Bob Turner received 36 percent, and George Maragos received 13 percent.
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. Winning about 52 percent of the vote with 74 percent of precincts reporting, Manhattan attorney Wendy Long beat U.S. Rep. Bob Turner and Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos for the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) in the November election.
Long received more than 50,000 votes in Tuesday's primary, according to unofficial published results. Turner (R-Queens) took about 35 percent of the vote and Maragos about 11 percent, according to unofficial results. New York State Board of Elections officials say the results will not become official until all county reports are received in the next two weeks.
Turner, who was elected to the House of Representatives from the 9th Congressional District in September 2011, won the vote in Westchester, receiving about 50 percent of the ballots with 82 percent of districts reporting, according to unofficial results posted by the Westchester County Board of Elections .
Long previously held positions working with U.S. Sen. Gordon Humphrey in New Hampshire and U.S. Sen. William Armstrong of Colorado, and worked as a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She is a member of presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Justice Advisory Committee, teaches Roman Catholic religious education classes in New York City and is a member of the New York City Parks Mounted Auxiliary Unit, according to her campaign website .
About 6,000 registered Republicans in Westchester voted Tuesday out of about 132,000 registered in the county, according to Board of Elections officials. More than 11,000 Westchester Republicans voted in the GOP presidential primary in April. Several poll workers in Westchester said Tuesday that the turnout was far lower than what they have seen in recent years, but it did not come as a surprise.
This is a special election and weve never had an extra primary like this, so we had no idea how it was going to be, said Rita Vettoretti, a poll worker in North Castle who has worked elections for 30 years. Vettoretti said many voters expressed confusion with the primary dates. Really Im surprised there were this many that came out, she said.
Ossining poll worker Sal Farruggio, who has worked elections for four years, said many residents were unfamiliar with the candidates.
It hasnt just been light, its been extremely light, he said. I think what happens is people think they already went to the primary because of the presidential one in April. So they dont bother to learn the new candidates and dont even think of it. I dont know why they didnt put them together or space them out.
Peter Tripodi, vice chair of the Ossining Republican Party, said he was discouraged with the low turnout but also not surprised.
Its attributable to the debacle of changing the primary date with redistricting, Tripodi said. The judges manipulated the democratic process. We only had a couple of weeks to get the signatures on the ballot instead of months out. Its making the challengers have to run around and the incumbents sit pretty.

Video: John McCain, Lorenzo Fertitta, Jon Jones, Bernard Hopkins, and More Boxing/MMA Figures Unite to Support the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study
(Props: Senator Reid)
There are few occasions where you could get executives from the UFC, Bellator, Golden Boy, and Top Rank in the same room without a full-scale brawl breaking out. But today in Washington, DC, an unprecedented congregation of combat-sports power players joined forces to support a common cause — the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study, which is being conducted by the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas.
According to a press release distributed today, the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study was launched in April 2011, and is "focused on developing methods to detect the earliest and most subtle signs of brain injury in those exposed to head trauma, as well as determining which individuals may be more likely to develop chronic neurological disorders." You can read a little more about the Cleveland Clinic's work here.
Senators and lifelong boxing-lovers Harry Reid (D-NV) and John McCain (R-AZ) were keynote speakers at today's press-conference, which you can watch above in its entirety. The list of speakers also included UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta, UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Spike TV President Kevin Kay, Bellator lightweight star Michael Chandler, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, Top Rank President Todd duBoef, and boxing legend Bernard Hopkins. Collectively, the combat sports promotions in attendance pledged $600,000 to help the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study continue its research for another year.

For the second straight year, the Ram 1500 has been named Motor Trend's Truck of the Year.
The award-winning truck is available at Towbin Dodge Superstore and Prestige Chrysler Jeep Dodge.
The winner of Truck of the Year is determined by how each vehicle measured up against the award's six criteria: design advancement, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety, value and performance of intended function.
The 2014 Ram 1500 offers a new EcoDiesel option, which helped the pickup beat its opposition in the yearly competition.
The EcoDiesel V6 model comes with a standard eight-speed TorqueFlite transmission, which boasts a towing capacity of as much as 9,200 pounds.
The combination of the EcoDiesel engine and transmission helped propel the 1500 ahead of the competition in efficiency, boasting 28 miles per gallon "real highway."
"The 2014 Ram 1500 is an unparalleled truck and the only vehicle to ever win consecutive Truck of the Year titles," Joshua "Chop" Towbin said. "The 1500 is the first half-ton truck to offer a diesel option and Towbin Automotive is proud to bring the best-in-class truck to Southern Nevadans."
The Ram 1500 continued to impress in the Engineering Excellence category, scoring high with its optimal air suspension system, which provides a compliant ride no matter the terrain.
The 1500 also scored top marks in design with its style, packaging and options like real wood trim which lifted it above the competition.
"I have had the opportunity to drive the award-winning truck," Towbin said. "Between the transmission and the air-suspension system, the ride is unbelievably smooth."
Motor Trend's Truck of the Year comes in nine different trims including the Sport, Laramie Longhorn and Big Horn.
The 1500 is available at Towbin Dodge Superstore at 275 Auto Mall Drive, and Prestige Chrysler Jeep Dodge at 6520 Centennial Center Blvd.
Pricing for the Ram 1500 begins at $24,385. The base price is based on destination and dealer fees.
Towbin Dodge Superstore is the flagship dealership of the automotive group.
Company officials said the Superstore has been the largest volume Dodge dealership in Nevada for 15 years, and surveys have been ranked above-average in customer satisfaction for more than 10 years.
With an expanded showroom and a comprehensive service department, Towbin Dodge has been a leader in automotive sales for more than a decade.
With the full lineups from Chrysler and Jeep to complement its Dodge selections, Prestige Chrysler Jeep Dodge, which opened in April 2010, has been named the No. 1 Chrysler, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Grand Cherokee dealership in Nevada.
For more information about Towbin Dodge Superstore, visit www.TowbinDodge.com or call 702-558-3800.

over a car, exposing her panties. Next to the still image is the
following text: Lost Masterpieces of Pornography. The shot cuts to Ricky
Jay sitting on stool.
Ricky Jay: Welcome to Lost Masterpieces of Pornography. These films,
discovered in the woodworking shop of a Beverly Hills dentist,
constitute a treasure trove, not only of cinematic history, but a living
document of the mores and morals of a time gone by. Grainy and sometime
out of focus, yes, as they were shot hurriedly and on the cheap by
performers and technicians in fear of discovery. They are, nonetheless, a
window into a forgotten world. Here, from 1938, June Crenshaw, Sex
Kitten to the Supreme Court.
The shot fades to black and the following text appears: Made possible by
the generous support of the I.J. And E.J. Goldfarb Family Fund for the
Preservation of Pornography. The shot fades to black and the following
text appears: Restoration by the Svensken Pornogaphiescheverlaget, Oslo,
Sweden. The shot fades to black again and then a brief countdown
begins. The following text appears: JUNE CRENSHAW SEX KITTEN TO THE
SUPREME COURT. The shot cuts to Ed O'Neill, in a judges robes, walking
down a hall. Jack Wallace catches up with Ed O'Neill in the hallway.
Jack Wallace: Mr. Chief Justice. Mr. Chief Justice. I just don't know.
President Roosevelt is considering increasing the number of us judges
from 9 to 27 and something about it just don't feel right.
Ed O'Neill: I agree, Jim.
Jack Wallace: And I believe that we should all sit down and have a meeting about it.
Ed O'Neill: I think so, too.
Ed O'Neill and Jack Wallace walk up to a door labeled: SUPREME COURT ROBING ROOM.
Ed O'Neill: But I gotta get out of these work clothes and into something more comfortable.
Jack Wallace: The heat, in summer, here in Washington D.C., is truly oppressive.
The shot cuts inside the robing room where Kristen Bell can be seen with
her legs up on a table, trying to cool off with a fan. Her skirt is
pulled up to reveal stockings and black panties.
Ed O'Neill (outside the room): We'll have that meeting, later, but we
still need to look into the constitutionality of the Tennessee Valley
Jack Wallace (outside the room): Of course, sir, and I'll compile the appropriate documents.
The shot cuts back to the hallway.
Ed O'Neill: Good. Good, Jim, and would you do me a favor? Would you run
over to the National Library and see if they got anything on the
national recovery. That thing.
Jack Wallace: Uh huh. Alright.
Ed O'Neill: Good.
Ed O'Neill enters the robing room.
Kristen Bell: Oh, I'm sorry sir. I was just...
Kristen Bell stands up.
Kristen Bell: It seems I have a run in my stocking.
Kristen Bell puts her leg up on a chair and hikes up her skirt.
Ed O'Neill: Miss Crenshaw, how do you function in this oppressive heat.
Kristen Bell: Well, sir, as you know, Washington D.C. is built on a swamp.
Ed O'Neill takes off his judges robe, leaving him only in a boxer shorts and an A-shirt.
Ed O'Neill: Yes, from land reclaimed by the Potomac River. Oh, you'll
have to beg my pardon Miss Crenshaw. I have disrobed unthinkingly beyond
the bounds of decency.
Kristen Bell: Well, Mr. Chief Justice, I'm out of uniform too.
Kristen Bell is buttoning up the front of her dress and a button pops off.
Kristen Bell: Oh no!
Ed O'Neill: What seems to be the matter?
Kristen Bell: I popped a button off my blouse.
Ed O'Neill: May I be of some help.
Kristen Bell gets down on her hands and knees and starts to crawl underneath a table to look for the button.
Kristen Bell: Oh no, sir. You have more important things on your mind than getting underneath a table.
Kristen Bell's foot catches on the fan cord and the fan falls on the
floor behind her. The fan (with some obvious assistance from Kristen
Bell) blows her dress up, revealing her panties. While under the table,
she discovers a document.
Kristen Bell: Sir, look. Look.
Ed O'Neill: What is it? What is it?
Kristen Bell: There's a note under the desk from 1857.
Ed O'Neill: That may be the lost draft of the Dred Scott decision.
Kristen Bell: It is the Dred Scott decision.
Ed O'Neill: Can you read it to me?
Kristen Bell: I need better light.
Kristen Bell climbs out from beneath the table and her dress catches,
pulling it off completely. She is left standing there in her bra and
Kristen Bell: I seem to have snagged my dress on a nail.
Ed O'Neill: The light's better on the couch.
The shot cuts the hallway outside the robing room. Jack Wallace and Bob Jennings are standing outside.
Jack Wallace: I doubt that President Roosevelt has the power under the
Commerce Clothes...Clause...I said clothes...to sell battleships to
Bob Jennings: But we need to wait for the right case to come before us so we can render a decision.
Jack Wallace: I'll ask the chief justice first.
Jack Wallace and Bob Jennings enter the robing room to find Ed O'Neill and Kristen Bell sitting on the couch.
Jack Wallace: What's going on there? What's going on?
Kristen Bell: I lost the rest of my clothing on a nail and we found a document relating to the Dred Scott decision.
Jack Wallace: But I was supposed to be in a luncheon with the Secretary of Agriculture. But this is much more important.
Kristen Bell: My heart is beating so fast, I need to unloosen this restrictive clothing.
Kristen Bell reaches around and begins fiddling with her bra.
Bob Jennings: I need to take my clothes off too.
Bob Jennings unzips his robe. There is an extended pause while Kristen
Bell continues to fiddle with her bra. The shot cuts to a picture of
Abraham Lincoln. The shot cuts back to Kristen Bell still fiddling with
her bra. The fiddling continues on for some time. Ed O'Neill stand up
and walks off-camera. The shot cuts to Kristen Bell berating Ed O'Neill.
Kristen Bell: That dick of yours that you're so proud of, my Japanese
houseboy has a bigger dick than that and he's malnourished.
The "film" ends and the shot cuts back to Ricky Jay.
Ricky Jay: A fragment, yes, but a fragment of a gem. And we hope you'll
be back with us next time on Lost Masterpieces of Pornography. This is
Ricky Jay.

UC San Diego Health conducts numerous studies specific to kidney stones. Talk to your urologist to learn more about these studies and if you are a candidate for them. Go to research and clinical trials for more information on developments in urologic health.
Ureteral Stent Research
We are attempting to design a novel ureteral stent that will minimize discomfort. Currently, ureteral stents are a source of pain for kidney stone patients who undergo surgery. Although the redesigned stent is not currently available for clinical use, we are actively researching this important area.
The Role of Tamm Horsfall Protein (THP) in Kidney Stone Formation
UC San Diego Health is currently collecting urine to determine if specific proteins found in urine (THP) are abnormal in their levels as well as in their configuration. THP is an abundant urinary protein in mammals that potentially has a protective role in kidney stone formation. We hypothesize that THP levels are lower in kidney stone formers and therefore this places them at higher risk of kidney stone formation. Time and risk are minimal for this study.
Double Blinded, Placebo Controlled Study of Silodison to Facilitate Urinary Stone Passage
Dr. Sur is the Principal Investigator of a multi-institutional study evaluating the efficacy of the alpha-blocker medication, silodison (Rapaflo), in expediting the spontaneous passage of kidney stones. Our goal is to obtain 240 subjects nationwide.

Memorable Muscadet
Close to the opposite pole from the fruit-forward blockbuster wines that draw so much critical acclaim, we find the subtle, mineral-driven wines of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine.
Have I mentioned that I love them?
It has only been about a year since I last sung the praises of Muscadet, so I'll refer you to the Nov. 5, 2005 Wine Advisor for more specifics. Today, let's just hit a few bullet-point factoids, then jump straight to the tasting notes for two very fine Muscadets from a first-rate producer that, in the $10-$12 range, ring the bell for outstanding wine value.

Muscadet comes from the Nantais region, where the Loire River meets the Atlantic. It's a seafaring and fishing region, so it's no coincidence that the wines make a natural match with seafood and fish.

Sèvre and Maine, tributaries of the Loire, run through the middle of the wine region on the south bank of the river across from the city of Nantes. The "Sèvre and Maine" designation is significant, as wine labeled just-plain "Muscadet" is sourced from a broader region and may not offer the same subtle complexity.

In contrast with the Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc varieties that dominate the Upper Loire, Muscadet is made from Melon ("May-lawN"), a less-familiar grape that's said to have its roots in Burgundy.

Many of the most interesting Muscadets add the term "Sur Lie" ("on the lees") on the label, indicating that the young wine was left to age on its yeast sediment ("lees"), a traditional process that adds flavor and complexity to the wine.

Bring together two or more Loire-heads, and you'll almost certainly soon hear an admiring reference to Marc Ollivier, one of the most highly regarded Muscadet growers and producers. His vineyards lie over granite, imparting exceptional minerality even for Muscadet, and he makes his wines the old-fashioned way, not hurrying the sur lie process for the sake of cash flow.

Domaine de la Pepière 2005 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie ($9.99)
Mark Ollivier's basic Muscadet bottling shows a transparent pale straw color; a few bubbles line the glass. Subtle and delicate aromas focus on pure white fruit and "crushed seashells," a characteristic of fine Muscadet. Mouth-filling, dry and tart, delicate citrus, lemon-lime, ripples over a base of chalky minerality, finishing clean and long. (Sept. 8, 2006)

Clos des Briords 2005 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie ($12.99)
Made from a single vineyard of 75-year-old Melon vines grown on deep topsoil over granite, this is a brilliant straw color. Intriguing aromas begin with melon and lime, opening up to stones and shells, then complex, earthy nuances of ripe Camembert and wool with time in the glass. Full flavors follow the nose, limey fruit and earthy grace notes, white fruit and chalk in a very long finish. A remarkable wine, and one that will gain from cellar time. (Sept. 8, 2006)
The following comments apply to both Ollivier wines:
FOOD MATCH: Shellfish is the classic pairing for Muscadet, and fine, fresh oysters on the half-shell may be the ultimate match. We had no complaints with an Asian-accented stir-fry of fresh, sweet sea scallops and snow peas.
VALUE: Both these wines will surely make my annual "Best QPR" lists at these prices.
WHEN TO DRINK: The basic Pepière is best drunk up young, and its synthetic cork underscores that advice: Enjoy it this year. The Briords is fine now, but will gain complexity and richness with cellar time, even a decade or more under pristine storage conditions.
Ollivier = "Ohl-leev-yay"
Muscadet Sèvre et Maine = "Moos-cah-day Sev'r eh Mehn"
Sur Lie = "Soor Lee"
Both these wines are imported by LDM Wines Inc., NYC; Louis/Dressner Selections, which has a fact sheet about Marc Ollivier and his wines at this link.
Both these wines are available from Chambers Street Wines in New York City, one of my favorite shops anywhere for unusual and intriguing wines of value. (This is not an advertisement, simply an expression of pleasure from a satisfied consumer.) Click here to browse their portfolio.

World's poor overwhelmed by rubbish (photo gallery)
1 / 17
World Environment Day was established by the UN in 1972 to give a human face to environmental issues. But as these images show, developing countries suffer the worst effects of waste and pollution. Here, a trash-covered creek in Manila, Philippines, where slums often adjoin rubbish dumps. The country's poorest sift through the garbage to find discarded objects they can sell on or re-use, or even scraps of food to eat

Converting Garbage into Fuel
Kevin Bullis, Technology Review
Waste Management, a large waste company, gives technology for gasifying trash a boost
Waste gasification, a process for converting garbage into fuel and electricity without incinerating it, may be a step closer to large-scale commercialization. Last week, Houston's Waste Management, a major garbage-collection and -disposal company, announced a joint venture with InEnTec, a startup based in Richland, WA, to commercialize InEnTec's plasma-gasification technology.
Waste Management will fund the new venture, which will be called S4 Energy Solutions, as well as provide infrastructure and expertise from its waste-collecting and -processing businesses to make the technology economical. The company, which will operate and market plasma-gasification technologies, will be announcing specific projects to build facilities later this year. The involvement of Waste Management could signal that the technology, which has been more expensive than other waste-disposal options, is finally reaching a stage at which it can be practical. "Up until late last year, it was under the radar," says James Childress, the executive director of the Gasification Technologies Council. "Now the big players are finally getting involved in this."

Recycling revolution begins in blood and guts
Danny Fortson, The Times
Darren Renshall can't help himself. As he approaches a spigot amid the din coming from a maze of pipes, he smiles, pulls the lever and out slops a pile of foul-smelling black sludge.
The odour is revolting. But the engineer doesn't seem to care. He is clearly excited about the muck, which is piling up like a mound of mashed potato on the floor. It is what makes this power station, in Widnes on the Mersey, like no other. Instead of using coal or gas to generate electricity, this plant runs, quite literally, on blood and guts, a cocktail of the food industry's leftovers. The "fuel" contains slaughterhouse bone and meat, mouldy bread, rotten fruit, old ready meals and fish entrails that "look like thousand island dressing", said Renshall, who runs the plant...

The Top 6 Ways to Convert Poop Into Electricity

More than half of the 15 trillion gallons of sewage Americans flush annually is processed into sludge that gets spread on farmland, lawns, and home vegetable gardens. In theory, recycling poop is the perfect solution to the one truly unavoidable byproduct of human civilization. But sludge-based as fertilizer can contain anything that goes down the drain—from Prozac flushed down toilets to motor oil hosed from factory floors. That's why an increasing number of cities have begun to explore an alternative way to dispose of sludge: advanced poop-to-power plants. By one estimate, a single American's daily sludge output can generate enough electricity to light a 60-watt bulb for more than nine hours. Here are the six most innovative ways that human waste is being converted to watts:...

All of the law school's areas of expertise—health law, child and family law, advocacy, business and tax, antitrust, intellectual property—have strong international and comparative components. The law school's curriculum, in Chicago and abroad, continually expands and deepens to respond to developing areas of international professional interest.
The School of Law continues to offer a four-week summer program of international and comparative law courses in Rome. Recent guest lecturers in Rome have included U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia. Loyola's four-week program in Beijing, China, and a one-week field study in Strasbourg, France, were also popular international course offerings available to students this summer.
Other international highlights at Loyola include the London Advocacy Program, now in its 23rd year, which provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of the British barrister in London over winter break; a Global Law Seminar which studies the law and legal system of a different country each year with a field study over spring break; and a Comparative Law Seminar: Legal Systems in the Americas, with an optional week in Santiago, Chile. Students who enroll in the International Commercial Arbitration and the CISG course are eligible to try out for the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot and the Willem C. Vis (East) International Commercial Arbitration Moot.

A field of cotton plants loaded with open bolls is every producer's field of dreams. At this point, however, only half the challenge is met. Growers still must defoliate, harvest, put their cotton into modules and deliver the modules to the gin, while keep the cotton clean, dry and free of trash and field debris.
Tommy Valco, USDA/ARS, Stoneville, Miss., researches how to maintain cotton quality and yield from the field to the textile buyer.
"Harvesting cotton when it is too wet or adding too much water through moistener pads can reduce picking efficiency and can cause significant quality loss during storage," says Valco. "Cotton is rarely dry enough to be harvested at night or early in the morning. Harvesting should be delayed until any dew has dried and relative humidity drops below 60 percent.
"High-capacity pickers or strippers require trained operators and good maintenance programs to insure a timely harvest that produces high fiber quality and yields."
Herb Willcutt, agricultural engineer with the MSU Extension Service, says good quality begins with variety selection, but environmental and human factors during harvest can compromise lint quality. Those factors include defoliation, harvest, module building and storage and ginning.
"Growers should allow the full effect of defoliation to be achieved before they put pickers in fields. Forcing immature bolls open, then harvesting before they have fully dried, adds unnecessary moisture to stored seed cotton," he says. "Moisture and immature seed in bolls are a source for microbial activity to begin and spread to other seed cotton in close proximity in a module.
"Good defoliation eliminates many picker problems by keeping headers clean of leaf trash and spindles from gumming, which in turn results in less spindle twist and faster harvesting with less fire danger in headers. It also keeps trash levels to a minimum in stored seed cotton, reducing the tendencies for modules to heat and lint to discolor," says Willcutt.
The less trash harvested, the less cleaning at the gin and the better the quality of products for customers. Moisture relationships through ginning are also improved since less trash requires less drying for good cleaning. This can translate into improved fiber length in ginning.
Contaminants in fields such as plastic bags, bottles, cans and similar trash could get through the picker, into modules and to gins.
"These materials and garments worn by field and gin workers account for the majority of contamination complaints by mill management," says Willcutt.
Regular and correct maintenance of pickers helps keep trash out of cotton, helps avoid untimely breakdowns, and prolongs the service lives of pickers, major expenses on a cotton farm.
"Make sure spindles are in good condition — sharp, straight and tight in the bushings — and they all turn when the picker is operating," says Willcutt. "The relationship of spindles to doffers should be no closer than about 0.003 inch — about the thickness of a dollar bill.
For a picker to be set correctly, bar heights must be set to within a few thousandths of an inch to maintain close doffer-to-spindle clearance on all spindles.
"Closer will cause undue doffer wear and could result in rubber particles in the seed cotton," says Willcutt.
"Moisture pads should just wipe across spindles as spindles pass beneath. Use a surfactant or spindle oil to aid in removal of green leaf and plant residue from spindles. If spindle wrap occurs, make sure the spindle is clean of plant residue before adjusting doffer clearance," he adds.
"Increase spindle solution if residue becomes a problem, but be conservative; spindle solution adds moisture to the seed cotton that goes into a module." Cleaning picker headers and greasing habits can also reduce trash buildup and fire dangers.
Greasing lightly two or more times each day with automatic greasing systems results in less grease in header drum areas, thus less buildup of trash.
"Growers should experiment to find what works best for their management, but a late-evening greasing followed by a pressure washing of the headers in the morning before heading to the field, then a light greasing about noon would be a good option," says Willcutt.
Picker heads should be operated with a slight tilt to the front, with the front of the header about 1 inch lower than the rear. This lets the front drum pick lower bolls and the rear of the header discharge trash from the bottom of the header.
If heavy trash buildup is a problem, pickers should be cleaned between dumps.
"Newer four- and six-row machines operate without much buildup, and cleaning cabinets every dump in good conditions becomes much less necessary," says Willcutt. "When trash from headers or baskets is thrown away, make sure it does not get into module builders or where a module may be located later in the season."
Another factor that can affect the quality of cotton long after it's picked is the location of modules. Accessibility in wet weather will often mean several days' advantage in moving modules to the gin. A module located in a low area may have water pool around the base, soaking and causing several inches of the module to rot. Modules with wet bottoms are more difficult to gin.
"Extra drying may be required to get wet cotton through the gin without over-drying the cotton near the top of the stack," says Willcutt. "Module covers are important to keeping seed cotton dry while in modules. Tarps used more than once should be checked for rodent damage, strength and water penetration. Finally, check modules after rain and wind for damaged tarps and for water pooled on tarps.
Valco says it is important to the ongoing preservation of lint quality that only clean, dry cotton be put into a module for storage.
"When the aggregate moisture of the seed cotton and foreign matter is 12 percent or less, modules will not heat. Fiber and seed quality will not deteriorate during storage, even for extended periods. Moistures in the 13- to 15-percent range may begin to heat and increase the potential for spotted or light spotted classifications.
"Modules with moistures above 15 percent usually become hot and should be ginned immediately to minimize fiber and seed damage," adds Valco. "Good management requires module temperatures be monitored during the first five to seven days of storage and that temperatures do not rise more than 15 to 20 degrees F.

Council Approves Temp Post
ST. MARYS — A familiar face will be helping oversee a million dollar project in the city of St. Marys.
During Monday night's meeting, St. Marys City Councilors approved the first reading of an emergency resolution creating the temporary position of resident project representative for the southwest pump state project. The position, with a salary of $25 per hour, will be filled by Stan Davis.
"Mr. Dave Sprague, of our water and wastewater department, requested that we have a resident inspector on site and Stanley Davis, as you all know, inspected our sewer plant as it was put in," Interim Safety-Service Director Craig Moeller said.
"Due to the nature and size of the project, he feels this is the best route, and I feel this, too, ... Stan's got high qualification."
Councilors also unanimously approved a motion to allow right turns on red from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. at the intersection of Defiance Road and Indiana Avenue, near the Auglaize County Council on Aging.
During a traffic committee meeting last week, committee members voted to forward the recommendation to councilors. Moeller said the sign will be changed to reflect the motion.
"That can always be re-evaluated, too," Moeller said. "If we see it's not working correctly, that can always be re-evaluated."
In other business, councilors:
• Approved, under suspension of rules, an emergency ordinance levying special assessments related to the 2011 street program.
• Approved, under suspension of rules, an emergency resolution eliminating the training wage for auxiliary firefighters. City Law Director Kraig Noble said the measure was necessary for the city to comply with the recent hike in the state minimum wage.
• Heard from St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce Director Kelly Kill requesting the sale of beer and food, via vendors, in K.C. Geiger Park during SummerFest. Last year, for the first time, city councilors authorized beer sales at the park for the softball tournaments.
• Set a parks and playground committee meeting for 5:15 p.m. Monday and an electric/communication committee meeting for 5:30 p.m. Monday.
The next meeting of the St. Marys City Council is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 at the city building located along East Spring Street.

Asbestos safety champion Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, (D-NJ), died Monday morning at the age of 89, according to The Bergen Record. He served in Congress from 1982 to 2001, and again from 2003 to the time of his death. One of his notable achievements was his unwavering effort to reform the dated Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to provide the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the authority to protect Americans from harmful chemicals, including mesothelioma-causing asbestos, since 2005.
Senator Lautenberg took the lead on reforming the dated TSCA to rapidly reduce exposure to toxic chemicals like asbestos, which is still used in some building and automotive materials. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air during demolition of buildings constructed with asbestos products, along highways from disintegration of brake pads, and near facilities where asbestos products are manufactured.
On April 10, 2013, the late Senator Lautenberg reintroduced the Safe Chemicals Act which was cosponsored by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). The Safe Chemicals Act would require chemical companies to demonstrate the safety of industrial chemicals and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to evaluate safety based on the best available science.
In May, Senator Lautenberg had a breakthrough when a bipartisan compromise bill, the Chemical Safety Act, was jointly unveiled with David Vitter (D-LA) was unveiled. The Chemical Safety Act would give the EPA the necessary authority to take action on unsafe chemicals, like asbestos. This can range from labeling requirements to the full phase-out or ban of a chemical. While not as stringent as the Safe Chemicals Act introduced in April, the Chemical Safety Act has support from select Republicans.
The mesothelioma community applauds Senator Lautenberg's unfailing dedication to stand up for mesothelioma patients and champion the reform of the TSCA; and hopes that Congress will honor his legacy by passing legislation to reform the dated TSCA.

Oregon employers must remit child support via EFT
by Bend Weekly News Sources
New payment method requirement takes effect April 2
Beginning April 2, Oregon employers will be required to remit child support payments for the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ), Division of Child Support (DCS), through electronic funds transfer. The use of electronic funds transfer is one of several efficiency measures underway at DCS designed to reduce administrative costs and streamline payments for families.
Currently, an estimated seventy percent of all child support collections are sent to families through income withholding administered by employers. Implementation of the electronic funds transfer provides employers with an easier and more secure payment option.
Employers can choose two options that will enable them to make electronic funds transfer. One option can be completed using Automated Clearing House (ACH) credit transfers with the help of a financial institution or a payroll provider.
The second option is to use ACH debit using CSPay. CSPay was designed by DCS as a free, secure, web-based debit transaction, authorizing DCS to debit the employer's bank account for child support payments. The site allows employers to set up payment accounts, manage child support accounts, add and delete employee records and view payment records. A team of trained DCS professionals is available to assist employers with the electronic funds transfer process by calling 1-866-907-2857.
Oregon joins six other states requiring employers to use electronic funds transfer when submitting child support payments. Currently, in Oregon, 6,800 employers use electronic funds transfer voluntarily. Requiring all employers to use electronic funds transfer is part of DOJ's larger effort to reduce costs of operating the Oregon Child Support Program. For more information about electronic funds transfer, visit www.dcs.state.or.us/employers/eft.html.

At Wagner College, we are committed to improving our digital and social media presence.
Web Curation
We launched a major redesign of our website, wagner.edu, in January 2013. The overall goal here was to produce a site that is consistent in design and navigation, easy to access, simple to update and visually engaging. We want your feedback, questions, and ideas on this project; just fill out this form. We also have a series of web tutorials if you need help managing your subsite, and official policies that cover site management, site structure, content creation, and more.
Media Production
Wagner's voices deserve to be heard, and the web is the perfect place to hear, see, and experience campus life virtually. Our "photo of the day" captures these moments, and short videos make text come alive. To contribute to the photo of the day, please contact Lee Manchester.
Social Media
When should you start a Facebook page? What kind of content should you post? How do you handle negative comments? This and more can be found in Wagner's Social Media Handbook. We also manage the College's main Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts. Are you following us?
HawkTalk Student Blog
Wagner students are passionate, smart, and dedicated to having fun and studying hard. The HawkTalk is a space—lightly curated by the Communications and Admissions—for students to write, Tweet, photograph, and video their experiences at Wagner.
Faculty Sites
Faculty Sites are for faculty members who want their own website highlighting classes, organizations, research projects, or in-depth portfolios. They are public and use WordPress, a flexible content management system. Unlike wagner.edu, they are intentionally not branded with Wagner College's colors, fonts, or theme. The Wagner Web Group will provide technical support and training, but the management, look and feel, and content are all up to the faculty member.

Hedge-Fund Star Gets a Hip Check
Jeffrey Vinik's Tampa Bay Lightning are struggling, but the performance of his National Hockey League team isn't the only worry for the veteran stock-picker. Investors have asked to pull around $1.5 billion from his hedge-fund firm after a period of poor performance, according to people briefed on the matter.
The withdrawal requests amount to around 18% of the roughly $8 billion that was run by Vinik Asset Management.

Founded by close friends Don Clark and brothers Ron and Bill Fenech (each having over 25 years of experience in the RV industry). Although they have lead some of the most successful companies in the RV industry, and are proud of their accomplishments at Keystone RV, they recognized that it was becoming more difficult to stay in touch with the needs of customers, employees, and the products being built.
So, in 2011 they began pursuing their dream of reconnecting on a more personal level with customers and dealers. The result of that pursuit is Grand Design RV. A company designed to create recreational vehicles that provide more features, better designs and unparalleled customer support!

During the Wallace100 year, I will be selecting a letter every month to write about. This letter could be historically important, scientifically significant or just funny and interesting!
I thought I'd start the series by writing about two letters – a letter written to Wallace and his reply to it. Wallace received the letter very late on in his life, in 1912, and his response to it gives a great insight into his thoughts and feelings of his long and illustrious career.
Wallace was great friends with Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell, an American zoologist who, in 1912, was professor of systematic zoology and a lecturer at the University of Colorado, USA. Cockerell's students sent Wallace a letter of appreciation and greeting's card for his 89th birthday in January 1912 which was signed by 129 students. They wrote at the top the letter:
"To Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace:
We, the students in the General Biology Class at the University of Colorado, ardent admirers of your work on Evolution, send you respectful greetings on the occasion of your eighty-ninth birthday, wishing you health and happiness."
Above: Letter to Wallace from Biology students at Colorado University
© Natural History Museum, London
Wallace wrote a reply to the students, enclosing it in a letter to Cockerell. He wrote to his friend that he was writing in response "to the very kind greetings of the members of your class of general Biology" and that they can have "no more capable and enthusiastic teacher".
In his letter to Cockerell's students, dated 12 January 1912, Wallace gives a fascinating insight into his feelings of nature that he describes as the "solace of my life". He goes on to write "my first views of the grand forests of the Amazon; thence to the Malay Archipelago, where every fresh island with its marvellous novelties and beauties was an additional delight – nature has afforded me an ever increasing rapture". Wallace describes how his love of nature has not dwindled over the years but has in fact been cultivated in a different way through his "wild garden and greenhouse". Wallace's letter to the Biology students is very touching and insightful and the students were extremely privileged indeed to receive such a letter.
You can read the letters for yourself here and here and can explore the many thousands more that are available on Wallace Letters Online.
Check back next month, when I'll be delving into the Wallace correspondence again to write about another letter that caught my eye.

So looking through Yahoo news today and see this video
She basically says bankruptcy will ruin you.... For someone who just filed this past Tuesday due to medical bills, I am now thinking I will never bounce back and if I do it will be with outrageous interest rates...Wanted to get your thoughts.
Take it with a grain of salt. BK wipes your slate clean of your past debt. You literally start from scratch, just as someone who has never had debt before. That BK is a scar but over time it will fade. First things first is to open up a secured line of credit to start the rebuilding process. The sooner the better so you can start the AAoA clock. From there make sure you pay on time, every time. As time goes on, you'll be able to gain access to rebuilder cards like Capital One. Stay away from Fee Reapers like Credit One and First Primier. You'll get small limits, but that's ok. Keep an eye on your credit scores, subscribe to Score Watch or something like that, use Credit Karma to keep an eye on your accounts. Do your due diligence. It's not hopeless. We have your back too.
You'll bounce back; it'll just take time.
There are plenty of success stories on these forums for you to see that we do make our way back. I was just discharged yesterday and will begin working my way back. The great thing about these forums is that we're all in the same boat and we're all here to lend a helping hand or just be an annonymous sounding board.
You will be fine. I am almost five years post discharge and I'm still making good progress in my credit repair journey. Be patient, self controlled and pay your bills on time. You'll be fine!
Three years post discharge I have more than enough credit at reasonable rates for today's markets, a new house and a new car with scores getting near 700. Take the fresh start and things will get better.
WOW, Thank God for this forum, you guys are amaziing and give me some faith and hope moving forward. As I am in my middle 30's with a small child and did not want to have to hardships years down the road. Medical bills killed me and even had the government coming after to me since I went to an Army hopsital after my trauma. They were going to garnish my wages so Chapter 7 is what i filed this week.
I am curent on my house and car and I am reaffirming them. Also I have credit that has $0 balance so I am hoping they do no close those accounts. With that said and listening to what you guys have to say, looks like as long as I stay responsible and move forward with a good outlook. I am so very happy to have found this page and hope many other people in my situation come across it to aid them and give them some confidence in their decisisons.
Thanks again
Question for you Omaplatypus...I see you cards listed. If I have any of these cards in my BK filing does that basically mean that these companies will not extend me credit m oving forward after discharge???/
do NOT reaffirm your mortgage, but do your car if you want to keep it. You can still keep paying your mortgage as directed but do NOT reaffirm it. Any bankruptcy attorney worth a damn will advice you of the same.
I have to agree with others you will bounce back. I am 3 1/2 years post BK 7 discharge and have bounced back. I just recently closed on a house at 3.375% so it can be done. You have to be patient and work at.

Can I ask why you say this? I reaffirmed the house we owned and it caused no issues. I guess if you are upside down on the house it makes sense but if you are not why not reaffirm? Just curious about your thoughts on this.

AICPA Meets with Acting IRS Commissioner
December 20, 2012
Acting Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Steven T. Miller met with members and staff of the American Institute of CPAs at IRS headquarters on Dec. 3, 2012 as part of the Institute's ongoing commitment to work collaboratively with the IRS on behalf of tax practitioners and the nation's taxpayers.
AICPA Chairman Richard J. Caturano, CPA, CGMA, AICPA Tax Executive Committee Chairman Jeffrey A. Porter, CPA, AICPA President and CEO Barry C. Melancon, CPA, CGMA, AICPA Tax Vice President Edward S. Karl, CPA and AICPA Director of Tax Melissa M. Labant, CPA attended the meeting with Miller.
During the meeting, the AICPA officials and Miller spoke about the IRS's preparation for "Fiscal Cliff" tax issues and the possibility that Congress might pass legislation that would make the tax extender provisions that expired at the end of 2011 effective retroactively for 2012.
The group also discussed privacy issues related to the PTIN data base and Freedom of Information Act requests and such tax season issues as capital gains reporting.
"The AICPA has been committed to improving the tax administrative process for years, and we appreciate Mr. Miller's openness to the AICPA's suggestions," Karl said.
For resources and current information about the Fiscal Cliff, the AICPA created a dedicated web page for AICPA members to help them navigate the uncertainty. A Journal of Accountancy web page offers news articles and other information about the Fiscal Cliff.
