A chance to kick the tires of two hot new cotton pickers and seminars on marketing and energy are among the highlights of the 56th annual Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, to be held Feb. 29-March 1 at the Cook Convention Center in downtown Memphis.
"Our show offers growers an opportunity to get a handle on how the 2008 season is shaping up and to see firsthand a broad array of products and services that span more than 400 exhibits and over 200,000 square feet of floor space," says Tim Price, executive vice president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association and Foundation and show manager.
The event, the largest indoor farm show in the South, is co-sponsored by Delta Farm Press.
A top draw for this year's event will be the new Case IH and John Deere cotton harvesters with on-board module builders.
"These machines represent the very latest technology," Price says, "and we're pleased to have them both at our show so farmers can see for themselves what all the talk has been about for the past five years."
The broad impact of energy on agriculture will be the focus of a special seminar at the show, scheduled for 1 p.m., Saturday, in the convention center's Steamboat Room.
"Energy: Changing Agriculture and Its Future" is the theme of the seminar, to include speakers representing the energy sector, agribusiness, government and other energy sectors have been invited to participate, Price says.
"Energy is changing everything," says Price, "and this seminar will address issues and concerns and provide farmers crucial information on how to respond."
Speakers for the special session include H.W. "Kip" Butts, senior analyst for Informa Economics and a member of the firm's Energy Services, conducting analyses for energy products.
Also on the program will be Tommy Foltz, president of Foltz Company, a 15-year veteran of the alternative energy industry with experience at the U.S. Department of Energy; Clean Fuels Strategies; Blue Energy & Technologies Company; and the Texas Campaign for Clean Transportation.
"Our goal each year is to make the show a forum for spotlighting the changes and issues that confront the ag sector, so farmers will have the information and tools they need to survive in this dynamic arena," says Price.
"We've enhanced our agricultural outlook sessions, which will include the major Mid-South crops, and marketing advisories for cash grain crops. We'll also have a special session on the cost of energy and its continuing impact on cropping patterns."
The member organizations of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association will be meeting prior to the show, with several key issues to be spotlighted at their general session Thursday, Feb. 28, at 1:30 at the Peabody Hotel. The theme is, "Cotton's Future and the Ginning Sector: Where Do We Go From Here?"

- slide 1 of 3
To "blend" means to mix different elements together. Similarly, blended learning refers to the blending of various media and educational resources in a seamless manner, in order to make both teaching and learning worthwhile experiences. Today, blended learning has changed the face of classroom education. Online learning tools and face-to face classroom sessions blended together make this form of learning a very attractive package for students.
Students have the flexibility of taking the course at their own pace. For instance, they can learn from the interactive online modules and presentations. There will be face-to-face classroom sessions, wherein the student can discuss topics or problems with the teacher. There will online discussion groups and forums where the student discusses the subject or assignments with peers.
If the course involves practical classes in a laboratory or any kind of field work, then these will be offered according to a pre-determined schedule; thereafter, the student returns to the online module. Blended learning students are given the provision of submitting assignments online. An online grade card for the marks obtained in the online examinations, online schedule for the course and even progress charts may be embedded in blended learning so as to make it an interesting experience for both the student and teacher alike.
- slide 2 of 3
The Role of the Teacher in Blended Learning
Initially, the teacher has a lot more homework to do than is required for conventional classroom training. First, the blended learning teacher designs the online modules and e-learning tools that will be used for the purpose of online (computer-aided) training.
Secondly, if the teacher is handling the training of several student groups at a time, then there is a good chance of his/her email inbox getting crowded with queries and questions from students. Hence, the teacher must manage these emails effectively along with providing a timely response to them, so that both the students' and teacher's schedule is not adversely affected.
A blended learning teacher also manages and maintains online discussion forums. He/she must design the learning modules in such a way that they integrate seamlessly with classroom sessions. If each student has to be given special attention in a particular course, then smaller class sizes should be arranged and the help of several "teaching assistants" may be required. The teacher should make sure that the approaches of any assistants are streamlined and their methods do not conflict with each other. If this happens, chaos may ensue in the flow of the segments.
The teacher can also conduct face-to-face sessions with the students to give a brief introduction of the online training module. He/she may then also give instructions to the students regarding accessing the Internet, submission of assignments, and even proper netiquette with respect to queries. Finally, the teacher should maintain a strict and well-planned schedule for the execution of training via blended learning means.
- slide 3 of 3
Blended Learning and Students
In blended learning, there is little of the traditional "spoon feeding" associated with a brick and mortar classroom education. Students learn independently. Teachers assist them regarding how to access modules, how to use the Internet or the discussion forum, and thus serve as facilitators; however, the remaining part of reading and implementation rest with the learners alone. Blended learning students go through the online material by themselves; this improves their ability to study independently along with honing their creative skills.
If properly designed and executed, blended learning can be a great success. Today, the corporate world encourages blended learning while implementing training programs, simply because it saves a considerable amount of time for both the company and the learner, along with being more cost-effectiveness. However, if the design foundation is not strong, it may lead to a clash of opinions between the teaching assistants, disruption of the proposed schedule, and finally confusion that eventually leads to failure.

black mission FIG shrub
sorry, this item is out of stock
want to be notified when this product becomes available? simply enter your email address below and click the "Notify Me" button
The earthiness of the fig is a perfect compliment to the bright acidity of the vinegar. This versatile shrub would be great in sodas, cocktails, for deglazing a meaty pan, and as a base for a salad dressing (especially if your salad included fresh goat cheese).
To make a shrub soda, mix 1 part shrub to 5-6 parts sparkling water. Daniel's original fig cocktail the "Diabolito" recipe here.
Shrub (also known as drinking vinegar) has a long tradition as a refreshing beverage going all the way back to the Colonial Era, but it actually originated a thousand years ago in the Middle East! Like our jams, shrubs are an excellent way to preserve the harvest of our gorgeous fruit when it is at it's most perfectly ripe. The vinegar and sugar both help to preserve and capture the fleeting fruit flavors while balancing each other out to make a sweet-tart syrup that a perfect base for a drink. Shrub is essentially a fruit-vinegar-sugar syrup. Mixed with sparkling water it's the most refreshing drink we've ever had. Of course, it's also great in cocktails.
INNA shrubs can be stored at room temperature, and ideally away from direct sunlight. Shake before using - separation is natural!
INGREDIENTS: organic apple cider vinegar, organic unrefined cane sugar, organic black mission figs (grown near Chowchilla, California)
SHIPPING COST: any size order ships in the continental United States for a flat rate of $12. For orders to Hawaii or Alaska please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Good advice that is so common sense but rarely taken. I have heard too many people who run their own business complain that they "work for a jerk who never gives them time off." Funny but true.
Like you, I started running years ago and did a few marathons. I found I had better ideas on long runs than on long days at work. Even now on a nice day, I will leave the office for a run. My type A personality always worries about what will happen when I'm out yet I'm always glad I left and pleasantly surprised when I return.

Hudson Randall combined with three relievers on a nine-hit, one-run performance and the Florida Gators opened the 2012 Gainesville Super Regional with a 7-1 win against North Carolina State in a Saturday game that featured multiple rain delays.
The victory puts Florida one win away from advancing to its fourth consecutive College World Series, which begins June 15 in Omaha, Neb. Game 2 between Florida and N.C. State is at 1 p.m. on Sunday in McKethan Stadium.
Early on, Randall and N.C. State's Ethan Ogburn engaged in a pitchers' duel in front of 5,117 fans with neither allowing much in the first couple of innings.
However, it was Ogburn who blinked first. Randall never blinked.
"Hudson was outstanding on the mound again," said UF coach Kevin O'Sullivan. "It seems like every time he goes to the mound he gives us a quality start."
The Gators took control of the game with a four-run third inning. After consecutive one-out singles by Josh Tobias and Nolan Fontana, Preston Tucker roped a liner to center to plate Tobias and give Florida a 1-0 lead.
Following a passed ball that put runners on second and third, Mike Zunino hit what should have been a routine grounder to N.C. State shortstop Chris Diaz. However, Diaz short-hopped his throw to first baseman Andrew Ciencin scoring Tucker and Fontana and advancing Zunino to second.
Danel Pigott capped the four-run inning with a two-out single, scoring Zunino.
"Errors are part of the game," N.C. State coach Elliott Avent said. "Sure, it's frustrating, but it's just a part of the game."
After being handed extra outs in the third, Florida looked to take control on its own in the fifth.
Tucker and Zunino opened the frame with consecutive hits. A walk to Brian Johnson loaded the bases with no outs.
Despite the jam, Ogburn was able to limit the damage. After a sacrifice fly from Pigott, he induced an inning-ending double play ball off the bat of Casey Turgeon.
Still, the four runs were more than enough for Randall. After having to battle his way through 5.2 innings against Georgia Tech last Saturday, Randall cruised through seven innings.
In his seven scoreless innings, Randall gave up just six hits and struck out four. The only thing capable of stopping him on this day was inclement weather.
As Florida batted in the bottom of the seventh, that is what happened. With Mike Zunino batting, Mother Nature struck — with force.
The weather delay lasted two hours and three minutes.
Once play resumed, it was Zunino who showed his force.
On the second pitch after the rain delay, he launched a home run into the sparsely populated left-field stands. The home run was his third in as many games and 19th on the year, which tied a Florida record for catchers.
"I knew with a 3-2 count that they didn't want to walk me," Zunino said. "I knew that there was going to be something around the zone. I got a fastball; the one that I fouled off was a little bit up. I was able to get one I could handle on the second pitch."
The towering shot put the Gators up 7-0 with two innings to play.
After another rain delay, this one 48 minutes, a combination of Greg Larson, Bobby Poyner and Keenan Kish finished off the Wolfpack.
Kish ran into trouble in the ninth, giving up back-to-back, two-out hits that plated N.C. State's only run. He was able to end the game by getting Trea Turner to ground out to Nolan Fontana.
In all, the game lasted five hours and 50 minutes with two hours and 51 minutes in weather delays.
During the two delays, Tucker said the team watched other games to "see what possibly the future competition will be."
With the win, Florida now has a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series. Still, O'Sullivan said the Gators certainly are aware this series is not over.
"N.C. State's got the ability to come back and win this series," O'Sullivan said, adding that his player "will realize that."
Looking to punch its ticket to Omaha on Sunday, Florida will start Jonathon Crawford. It will be Crawford's first start since his no-hitter in the Gainesville Regional last Friday.
Opposing Crawford will be N.C. State ace Carlos Rodon. On the year, the freshman left-hander is a perfect 9-0 with a 1.61 ERA.
Like Zunino, Rodon is one of three finalists for the Golden Spikes Award.
"I know he's a great pitcher," Zunino said. "We've just got to come out ready to go."

climate4R is a bundle of R packages for transparent climate data access, post processing (including bias correction and downscaling) and visualization. climate4R builds on two main data structures (grid and station, including metadata) to deal with gridded and point data from observations, reanalysis, seasonal forecasts and climate projections. Thus, it considers ensemble members as a basic dimension of the data structures. Compatibility with some external packages has been achieved by appropriate two-way bridging functions, thus enhancing climate4R with new functionalities: model validation, extreme climate indices, etc. A number of datasets (observations, reanalysis, seasonal predictions and climate change projections) are used to provide worked-out illustrative examples.
climate4R is formed by four main packages (loadeR, transformeR, downscaleR and visualizeR. Moreover, climate4R is transparently (and remotely) connected to the User Data Gateway (UDG, maintained by Universidad de Cantabria), offering several state-of-the-art datasets for climate analysis (see Figure 1). These components are described below:
climate4R is also compatible with a number of R packages for impact studies, thus allowing to transparently use climate data in these fields.
All componentes are distributed under GNU General Public License and are available from the SantanderMetGroup GitHub.

Red Paddle Co. 9'8'' RIDE inflatable SUP
$ 1,299.00
Product Details
The smallest of the Ride family is the 9'8" Ride, a board designed for all-round usage for lighter riders.
You'll get the best out of it if you're under 155lb, but that doesn't exclude heavier riders. In fact, for heavier riders, the 9'8" makes a great surf shape. Key to the Ride's versatility are its dimensions. It's 31" wide and 3.93" thick, which makes it a stable but manoeuvrable board. It's a great board for beginners, but because it's been stiffened with our RSS battens, it delivers a fantastic experience for more advanced riders, too. The 9'8" Ride also has cargo tie-downs on the front for a dry bag.
MSL fusion composite and airtight coating New for 2016, MSL involves fusing a second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at the raw material stage, removing hand gluing errors. The high-tech industrial process also saves almost 2kg in weight and makes the boards stiffer at lower pressures.

If you are a caregiver, relative, or a friend of a person with psoriasis, your role matters.
Living with a chronic disease like psoriasis can be challenging. Research shows that a good support network with strong social and psychological assistance can improve self-care and quality of life. If you are a caregiver, relative, or friend of a person with psoriasis, your role matters!
Join now and get a better understanding of living with psoriasis
QualityCare™ is designed for people living with psoriasis, but caregivers, relatives, and friends can also benefit from joining QualityCare™. When you sign up to QualityCare™, you will get the same experience as if you were a patient. Signing up can give you a better understanding of what it's like to live with psoriasis and you can find tips and ideas on how to support your loved one. The articles cover many different topics. You can use them as a good starting point for a conversation with your friend or family member with psoriasis.
Being close to a person living with psoriasis means that your own life is affected by the disease. Just like your loved one, you have to find a way to cope with the disease. Acknowledging that you are also affected by psoriasis can be an eye-opener. Educate yourself about the disease. Do your best to support your friend or relative, but don't forget your own needs in the process. If you need support yourself, reach out to friends or a health care professional. Psoriasis can be a serious illness, but it shouldn't prevent you or your loved one from living life to the fullest.
How to support
Caregivers, friends and relatives can play a crucial role in supporting a person living with psoriasis. Here are three things you can do:
- Get informed: Understanding the disease and its consequences is an important first step in supporting your loved one with psoriasis. Educate yourself about the symptoms, the causes, and the treatments. Joining QualityCare™ is a good way to get informed.
- Support treatment: Most patients will often use one or more medications to cope with the disease. There are several ways that you can support the treatment of a person with psoriasis. You can encourage the person to visit the doctor. You can offer to join for the next doctor's visit. This can help your friend or relative better remember and understand the advice from the doctor, and help you understand the treatment and the disease better. You may be able to help with medication application if it's a topical treatment, or help to remember the treatment. Often psoriasis treatments need a bit of time to work, so encouraging your friend or family member to stick with the treatment plan can also help.
- Offer stress relief: Psoriasis and stress are known to be related-. Stress can trigger a flare-up, while having a flare-up can cause more stress. Finding ways to deal with stress is an important part of coping with psoriasis. Do your best to help create a stress-free environment for your friend or family member with psoriasis. Lend a compassionate ear when your loved one needs to unload. Sometimes practical help with daily chores can relieve the burden of the situation. Finally there are several relaxation techniques that can give stress relief and also relieve psoriasis symptoms such as itch. Yoga, visualization and meditation – just to mention a few. You can encourage your friend or family member to explore some of these activities.
Ask how you can help
How a person experiences living with psoriasis can vary a great deal. You always have to tailor your support to the individual. Try not to make assumptions about what your relative or friend needs from you, but ask instead. Be available – but not pushy.
Too much help can make a person feel patronized or disrespected. Loss of control is one of the most frustrating consequences of living with psoriasis. It's important that your support helps to gain more control – not lose it. If you take charge of that person's life and treatment, you easily end up exhausted and resented. The point is not just to take care of your loved one, but to help that person take care of him- or herself.

Creationism, in all of its guises, from young earth creationism to intelligent design and beyond, is so clearly at odds with the modern scientific worldview that parodies of those who promote creationism abound. Even more than a disagreement over supposed scientific "facts," the biggest problem with all of creationism is that its proponents want to redefine science in a way that makes the subject completely meaningless.
What would be outrageously funny about this, if it weren't so incredibly sad, is that even the most extreme parodies of the creationist position, have to be taken seriously. For example, here's one such example making its way around the Web:
Funny, right? Well, given that many creationists have a completely perverted perspective on entropy and the laws of physics, this parody isn't, in fact, a parody. Because, in addition to the disgraceful war on women the Republican presidential candidates seem intent on waging, they are also attacking evolution and the very nature of public education. Education, in the universe they're currently inhabiting, should be entirely up to parents. Parents, they say, are in the best position to determine the individual needs of their children.
So, let's look at the world's leading creationist organization, Answers in Genesis (AiG) -- the folks who brought us the Creation Museum-cum-theme-park in Kentucky, and see what they have to say about entropy and the laws of physics.
Simply put, those laws dictate how energy is transferred through the environment and they explain why entropy, or the amount of disorder in a system, always increases unless energy is added to the system. Those laws explain why perpetual motion machines cannot exist, why all living things ultimately die and so much more.
Or do they?
Well, not really, not if you're Ken Ham, director of AiG, or many of his employees. Just recently in an hour long radio interview in which he criticized The Clergy Letter Project, he explained his concern with clergy members who recognize that the Earth is billions of years old.
The question is where did sin come from? Because if there was no literal fall in Genesis, why are we a sinner? And if you believe in millions of years, you've got death and bloodshed millions of years before sin. The Bible says death came as a result of sin and if you're saying you can't take that history as written, and you're taking man's ideas of evolution of millions of years outside the Bible and you're reinterpreting God's word, you're ... undermining the authority of God's word.
Thus, Ken Ham makes it clear that the science he wants to teach is that death could not have occurred before sin. To have it any other way, as he puts it, is to "undermine the authority of God's word."
Because this is such a complicated concept, Ham has created a fancy graphic that explains the technical science to his lay audiences. Here's how he explained his view, a view at odds with that of the physics community, that the laws of physics are not constant:
That's pretty compelling evidence for overturning the laws of physics. Incorporating technical subjects into a home schooling regime thus seems fairly easy.
But, wait, even for Ham and AiG things get a bit more complicated. I'll let Ham explain how organisms feeding on other organisms can do so without death occurring:
When I make the claim that the Bible teaches there was no death before sin, I'm referring to the death and bloodshed of animals and humans. You see God created man and the animals to be vegetarian originally. There wasn't any physical death until after the fall. But if animals and man ate plants before sin, doesn't it mean there was death because plants died? Well, the Book of Genesis actually has the answer. It tells us that plants are not living in the same sense as animals are... They don't have the life principle that animals have. Plants were given for food so they don't die in the animal sense.
Got all that? Well, apparently not everyone at AiG got the message. Here's an AiG weekly news update from 2007 on the topic:
Some Christians say that even in the original creation, plants had to decay and Adam and Eve had to digest food. Therefore they say things were decaying before sin, so it wasn't a perfect world in the Garden of Eden!
It is reasonable to infer that in a perfect world, there was controlled decay, which is necessary for life. But once sin entered the world, things were no longer "perfect." Without the decay perfectly controlled, everything, including our own bodies, now runs down and decays.
Ok, so now we know that even in a perfect world decay occurs, well, "controlled decay" anyway. Why? Because AiG explains it "is necessary for life."
In fact, the folks at AiG go further and explain that some entropy is actually a good thing and thus it would have been present before sin. Here's a short extract from a piece AiG published in 2010 on the second law of thermodynamics:
We could not digest our food without the second law being in operation. The breaking down of food into simpler molecules is a consequence of this process. The molecules are broken down to release the energy that is used to maintain the body and even provide for growth.
Oh my. This confluence of physics, biology and theology is getting complex. Apparently we need to teach our students that some entropy is better than other entropy and that God rewarded us with the good stuff at the creation but punished us with other forms later because of our sinful nature. And, apparently, we are to ignore the fact that if the laws of thermodynamics didn't exist we actually wouldn't have to eat at all -- we could simply operate as perpetual motion machines. And we are to ignore the fact that if energy transfer could be 100 percent efficient, something ruled out by the laws of physics but something that should be present in the pre-sin "perfect world" envisioned by AiG, if we opted to eat, we certainly wouldn't have to eat much!
It doesn't end here. The same AiG writer who "explained" the difference between good entropy and bad entropy, provides us with another lesson on the topic. Even after sin, when death and destruction became a part of the human condition and animals began to suffer, there were periods when the laws of physics ceased to function, times when entropy no longer prevailed.
In the beginning, God sustained His creation in its perfect state. The account of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness provides a glimpse of how things might have been in the original creation. The garments of the Israelites did not wear out, nor did their feet swell for the forty years they camped in the desert (Deuteronomy 8:4). God is omnipotent and perfectly capable of sustaining and protecting His creation.
I could go on but my head hurts.
When we permit theology to define our science, we end up with gibberish, but not even consistent gibberish. Entropy is our punishment for sin, except when it isn't. Entropy is bad, except when it's good. Plants don't die when they stop living.
Please explain why we would turn over the responsibility for education to people like this, people who are beyond parody?

Suriel's had the displeasure of owning a game he couldn't play three times: he won a copy of Banjo Kazooie before he had a Nintendo 64, he owned a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee before he had a GameCube, and he had Crysis in his Steam account years before he had a computer that could run it.
Aside from those unfortunate circumstances, Suriel's been able to experience a lot of what gaming's had to offer. He's owned consoles before they needed updates, almost gotten beaten up in arcades before they became an endangered species, broke into games writing back when it seemed like a cool thing to do, and gotten to see the independent scene evolve over the years. He's also played a lot of fighting games and Dota 2, and you'll probably never hear the end of it if you ask him about either.

Reports are coming in from angry PC gamers that Mass Effect is limited to just 3 activations before you can no longer play. Even worse than that, uninstalling the game doesn't give you an activation back.
A post on website The Consumerist details one gamer who contacted EA customer services to confirm what can and can't be achieved with the activation process. After much wrangling with one of the service representatives the official answer to the question "When uninstalling Mass Effect do I regain an activation?" was:
Unfortunately, you will not gain an activation by uninstalling the game.
With such a limited number of activations it isn't taking long for gamers to use up their 3 tries and are being left with unplayable games. It has also been pointed out that if these games are being sold on eBay or similar auction sites; then they may only have 1 or no install activations left leaving buyers out in the cold.
EA have already angered gamers when they originally announced Mass Effect would require an Internet connection and an online check every 10 days. They then rethought this draconian method so as to only perform the check when new content was downloaded.
If you run out of activation slots then the only way to get more is to contact EA technical support and request them. Gamers are currently venting their anger on the official Mass Effect forums.
If this is the way EA planned the DRM to work then whoever authorised it needs reprimanding. 5 slots on BioShock was low, but 3 is ridiculous and the lack of an uninstall refund is just ludicrous. I hope EA see the problem and release a utility or patch for activation refunds. They would also do well to up the number to 5 instead of 3.

Over the years since that resolution, the search for Jewish Holocaust-era rescuers has become a major area of activity for the World Center and a personal passion.
In order to properly honor those heroes, the World Center and the Committee to Recognize the Heroism of Jewish Rescuers During the Holocaust—of which the World Center is a founding member—launched their joint "Jewish Rescuers Citation," through which some 170 Jewish heroes have been recognized for their courageous actions rescuing Jews across Europe during the Holocaust.
One of the modus operandi of the citation is that it must be presented to the rescuer him or herself or, in the case that the rescuer is no longer alive, to a relative.
Sometimes, this condition is difficult to meet, particularly in the case of some of the more obscure rescue efforts.
One such effort is the case of Dr. Asaf Atchildi, a medical doctor born into the Jadir community of Samarkand—a religious community of Jewish origin, originally forced into accepting the Muslim faith for the sake of appearance. Atchildi found himself in Paris during the German occupation, attending to the Juguts—Jews of Bukharian origin in France. With the assistance of Georgian expatriate politicians living in France, an Iranian diplomat and other players, Dr. Atchildi succeeded in building a web of contacts and relationships among the German and French bureaucracy that ensured the survival of the Jugut community and other non-Jugut Jews who were surreptitiously added to the list of Juguts. Atchildi, who, at his wife's urging never registered as being Jewish, was in constant danger of being found out and deported.
Our committee had no doubt that the now deceased doctor deserved the Jewish Rescuers Citation but we were unable to find a relative to receive it. We knew from testimony he gave to Yad Vashem that while in Paris he had two daughters. We could not find either in Israel or in Paris. I then resorted to the radio program "Search Bureau for Missing Relatives," anchored by Izzy Mann, a B'nai B'rith World Center Journalism Award winner, who immediately promised to broadcast Atchildi's fascinating story to garner information from the public at large and also to set loose his bevy of volunteer researchers to find Atchildi or his close kin. Izzy was able to find some significant leads to distant relatives in Israel and within three weeks these led to a breakthrough: we found Dr. Atchildi's one surviving daughter, Dora Aftergood (90), at the Jewish age home in Vancouver and her son David in Calgary. B'nai B'rith Canada has agreed to stage a major event to present the citation posthumously to Dr. Atchild—closing the circle opened 70 years earlier when he ensured the survival of over 300 Bukharian and other Jews in occupied France.
The World Center remains committed to this important project that helps discredit the mistaken notion that Jews did nothing to rescue fellow Jews during the Holocaust and that the notion of Jewish solidarity was nowhere to be found during those terrible times.
Alan Schneider is the director of B'nai B'rith World Center in Jerusalem, which serves as the hub of B'nai B'rith International activities in Israel.

Hotel and leisure company Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. said Monday it repurchased $300 million of senior notes tendered in an offer.
The cash tender offer for the 2012 and 2013 notes expired Friday.
Starwood, whose brands include St. Regis, Sheraton and Westin, said approximately $194.9 million of the notes due 2012 were tendered before the offer expired, while about $134.3 million of the notes due 2013 were tendered. The amount of 2013 notes tendered surpassed the maximum tender amount, so Starwood said it accepted those notes for purchase on a pro rata basis among tendering noteholders, for a total of $105.1 million. Any notes not accepted for payment were returned to the noteholders at no charge.
Starwood currently has 982 properties in 100 countries.

Published: 4 years 11 weeks ago Through a partnership with faculty in Cornell's Horticulture and Landscape Architecture departments, we recently installed a climate change demonstration garden in the Pounder Vegetable Garden. An unheated greenhouse known as a high tunnel creates a warmer environment allowing students and faculty to study the effects of higher temperatures on the plants growing inside and outside the high tunnel. The garden is also used to help visitors better understand climate change and the impacts it may have on our home gardens.

About FSL
The mission of Fraternity and Sorority Life at UCF is to provide a quality and safe undergraduate fraternal experience that enhances student development through the active advising of student leaders.
Fraternity and Sorority Life is committed to establishing and maintaining positive relationships and partnerships with the administration, faculty, local community, alumni, and between the various local and (inter) national Greek organizations. Students are encouraged to hold themselves and others accountable for the choices they make, and place equal emphasis on the philanthropic, educational, personal development, and social aspects of membership in a values-based Greek organization.
UCF's Greek Community is diverse in numerous aspects while sharing common practices and values. UCF's Greek Community includes historically African-American, Latin/Multicultural, as well as historically Jewish-faith based fraternities and sororities. Our organizations share common founding values, such as commitment to scholarship, community service, leadership development, social responsibility, developing community, and life-long friendships and bonds.
Membership in a fraternity or sorority offers students many opportunities to develop their leadership potential. Fraternities and sororities provide training in the principles of leadership, as they are hands on training-grounds in which students can develop those skills. Each member is actively involved in the decision-making process, teamwork, and time management and encouraged to utilize their leadership talents in their chapter and on campus. Fraternity and sorority members are student leaders within many major campus organizations.
At UCF, we currently recognize 46 social Greek lettered organizations with a population exceeding 4000 undergraduate students. Our community is constantly expanding; therefore we believe we have a lot to offer UCF students. Fraternity and Sorority Life works to provide an environment that cultivates brotherhood and sisterhood relationships. Active members call themselves "sister" and "brother" to demonstrate the sense of family the groups provide. In this rapidly growing university, Greek members see their fraternities and sororities as a home away from home.
Community Engagement
Community service is an important aspect of fraternity and sorority life. Participation in community service builds character through the realization of helping others who are in need. Greek organizations, individually and collectively, are involved in activities such as Habitat for Humanity, tutoring children, organizing fundraising events and competitions, sponsoring blood drives, conducting community and beach clean-ups, and a variety of other philanthropic activities.
During the 2016–2017 academic year, members of the UCF Greek community continued to demonstrate their commitment to community service and philanthropy by raising over $1 million and putting in over 87,000 hours of service.
Making Ritual a Reality
UCF values a Greek experience that positively contributes to enhancing the overall campus learning environment. We as Greek members aspire to uphold all the tenants of the UCF Creed: Integrity, Scholarship, Community, Creativity, and Excellence. Membership has its privileges, as well as many responsibilities. We welcome students who are interested in upholding and contributing to our "standards of excellence!"
Vision Statement
Fraternity and Sorority Life will be a premier Greek community that fosters an inclusive environment committed to academic excellence, community engagement, personal and leadership development in a safe and supportive environment; while utilizing university and local community partnerships.
Integrity, Community, Inclusiveness, Friendship, Scholarship, Leadership, and The UCF Creed.

Appalachian Trail
Eighty-eight miles of the Appalachian Trail run through the North Carolina mountains. From through-hikers—backpackers who attempt the trail in its entirety—to hikers out for an afternoon stroll, those who love to walk rugged mountain terrain through dense woodlands find the Appalachian Trail among the most beautiful in the country.
A Trail with a History
The Appalachian Trail is a 2,175 mile trail that leads from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine, crossing a total of 14 states along its way. It was first envisioned in 1921 by Massachusetts forester and preservationist Benton MacKaye, who proposed it as a trail linking a network of work camps and communities in the Appalachian Mountains where city dwellers could go to renew themselves. The Appalachian Trail was completed in 1937 and became the country's first designated National Scenic Trail in 1968.
The Appalachian Trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina
The Appalachian Trail enters North Carolina at the Georgia border, then climbs Standing Indian Mountain and crosses the Nantahala River before winding through the lush Nantahala National Forest. Before reaching the Great Smoky Mountains, it rises over Wayah Bald and Cheoah Bald. It bisects the Great Smoky Mountains National Park along the North Carolina-Tennessee border, which it follows on its way to the town of Hot Springs, NC. Elevations vary from 1,725 to 5,498 feet along the North Carolina segment of the Trail.
Hot Springs welcomes over 2,000 through-hikers annually, mostly between mid-May and October.
Appalachian Trail Conservancy
The nonprofit Appalachian Trail Conservancy coordinates the Appalachian Trail's management and protection in conjunction with a wide range of partners, including the National Park Service, Appalachian Trail Park Office, U.S. Forest Service, 14 states, and 30 Trail-maintaining clubs.
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy and its member clubs publish the official guidebooks and maps for the Appalachian Trail. Each of the 11 pocket-sized guidebooks covers several hundred miles of the Trail, and includes separate topographic maps with elevation profiles.

A delicacy is any food that a specific culture considers rare or especially valuable. Often, these foods seem very strange to people in other cultures, and some foods may be considered a treat in one culture, and may be considered commonplace, or even inedible, in another. They may be rare or difficult to prepare in one culture and easily accessible in another, leading to differing opinions about the food.
There are thousands of delicacies found throughout the world, with most cultures having at least one food that it considers particularly special. These may range from relatively common foods, such as Maine lobster in the United States, to fairly rare ones, such as bird's nest soup, made from the saliva-based nests of the cave swift.
In many cultures, various parts of an animal may be considered special, even if the animal itself is not. This is often due to the limited amount of that part on the animal, although it may also have to do with the difficulty in preparing it. In Spain, the gizzards of chickens are fried and served as mollejas. In Newfoundland, a popular treat is the fried tongue or cheeks of cod. In Indonesia, people can enjoy deep-fried monkey toes, while in Vietnam, they might even find a restaurant that serves the heart of a snake, while it's still beating.
People in America often find that insects are a strange delicacy, but in many cultures, in fact, they are actually a staple food. They are usually quite high in protein and various vitamins and minerals, and they are often much easier to hunt than larger game. In Australia, the larva of the cossid moth are eaten either cooked or raw, and are usually called witchetty grubs. In Vietnam, scorpion can be found on some menus. In parts of Africa, grasshoppers are served fried, and other locusts, such as the cicada, are also eaten throughout the world. In Cambodia, tarantulas are served in some locales, and chocolate covered ants can be found in specialty markets throughout the world.
Pretty much every animal is eaten somewhere in the world, and if that animal is rare enough, it may be considered a delicacy. Animals that one country considers sacrosanct, such as cats or dogs, might be considered a treat in another country and served at high-class restaurants. Animals that seem exotic and cute to most Americans, such as kangaroos, might be found at the neighborhood butcher in a country like New Zealand or Australia. Sparrows, sea cucumbers, turtles, snails, octopuses, boar, sea urchins, frogs, horses, and abalone are just some of the everyday animals that wind up as dinner in one culture or another.
Westerners in Africa often get a thrill out of eating local big game, as well, although they may simply be a staple in the diet of locals. Animals like warthogs, zebra, porcupine, and wildebeest are all relatively common. Those that it may require special permits to hunt, or may be outright illegal to kill, sometimes have particular status as food. This might include lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, and various primates.
Ultimately, anything can be a delicacy, depending on where a person is. To those who live in Northern California, abalone might be just another seafood they eat with friends when it's in season. For Japanese, however, it's a very expensive and exclusive dish.

Some delicacies can be dangerous. I've read that puffer fish is considered a Japanese delicacy, but it can kill a person if it isn't prepared properly.
It is more toxic than cyanide. A chef has to be licensed in order to cook it.

@JessicaLynn – It's hard to define a delicacy sometimes, because even though a food is rare, it may just sound atrocious to most people. I live in the southern United States, and some of the things that people eat around here sound gross to me, even though I've lived here all my life!
I didn't know until I read this article that chicken gizzards were a delicacy in Spain. They are also a delicacy in my area. I have friends who rave about how great they are.
I won't be eating any unless that is all there is to eat and I'm about to starve. I guess some people are just braver than others and have more of a palate for delicacies.

I'm always scared to try European delicacies when I travel overseas. The menus at restaurants don't always explain what the food is, so I'm scared I'll go with a fancy name and end up eating guts or bugs.
The only delicacy here in the United States that sounds appetizing to me is Maine lobster. I'm a fan of seafood, and I've eaten lobster from the Gulf coast. It tasted great, so I'm sure that lobster that is considered a delicacy would taste amazing.

I made the mistake of reading this article while eating. I am now nauseous!
At least I was snacking on nuts and berries instead of meat. When I'm eating meat and I read about something gross like exotic food, my mind immediately associates what I read with what is in my mouth and replaces reality with the idea of the delicacy.

I don't know about the witchetty grub thing being a common delicacy but I can vouch for the kangaroo. Peppered kangaroo with steamed beetroot is really nice. Definitely try kangaroo. It is a really nice lean meat, very rich. (I'm Australian)
Post 5
It's really interesting how supply and demand affects what might be considered a delicacy. As the article said, someone from the United States might consider zebra meat or kangaroo meat to be a delicacy, but in some countries, it's just a food that's eaten, like chicken or beef is here!
Post 4
@JessicaLynn - I've always considered myself a fairly adventurous eater. I'm always willing to try new things and new styles of cooking. However, I'm with you on the bugs and monkey toes! I guess I'm not as adventurous as I thought, because a lot of stuff discussed in this article sounds gross to me.
Anyway, I think it's kind of interesting that people in other countries eat animals we consider cute or exotic. I had no idea that kangaroo meat was eaten in Australia, for example!
Post 3
It's really interesting what some cultures consider a delicacy. I think fried monkey toes sound absolutely disgusting, but as the article said, I'm sure some people in Indonesia are willing to pay big bucks for them! I also don't see myself eating a bug unless it's my only option.

I've been drinking bird nest soup every night (i only get the homemade kind back at home). the only reason why i drink it is because it's supposed to be good for complexion.
I've been taking the store-bought kind online which is directly mailed from Hong Kong. this would be at a more affordable price. --Katherine

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Thought you had to give up your love-affair with XP to upgrade to Windows 7? Well, think again. Microsoft has released a new downloadable feature, called Windows XP Mode, for users of the Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions. It lets you access the entire XP desktop and environment, all in Windows 7. Use it to run legacy applications or for day-to-day use.
What is Windows XP Mode and Virtualization?
Windows XP Mode is basically a virtual machine preconfigured with a full edition of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. It uses Microsoft's new virtualization program, Windows Virtual PC, that only runs in Windows 7. It's an updated and renamed version of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.
There are other virtualization programs, like the ones from Microsoft, such as the VMware Player and VirtualBox. They all offer a similar solution. They are applications that provide a simple interface within Windows (or other OSs) where you can set up and access virtual hard drives.
Figure 1
You can load whatever you want on the drives: Windows 3.1, XP, or Windows 7, or even another platform like Ubuntu Linux. You allocate how much memory (RAM) you want to give a virtual machine. Many of the physical computer's ports and devices are emulated in the virtual environment, such as the CD/DVD drive, COM ports, and USB ports.
One feature that sets Windows XP Mode apart from other virtualization programs is its ability to integrate within Windows 7. In addition to being able to access the full XP machine in a full or reduced screen view (see Figure 1), you can launch programs installed on the XP machine directly from the Start Menu in Windows 7 (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
Installing Virtual PC and XP Mode on Windows 7
Be aware that to give Windows XP Mode a try, you must be sporting a premium edition of Windows 7. Plus your computer must be capable of hardware virtualization. You can check your current system by visiting Microsoft's virtualization detection tool. When you're ready, download and install the new Windows Virtual PC program in addition to the XP Mode. Once installed, you'll see the two programs listed on your Start Menu.
To get started with the XP Mode, click the shortcut from the Start Menu. The first time you run it you'll have to perform a short configuration. You'll be asked to accept the Windows XP License Agreement, create an administrator password, choose whether or not to receive Automatic Updates for Windows. After that it will bring up Windows.
Using XP and Installing Applications
Once you're in Windows XP, you can download and install software like normal. If it's on a CD or DVD, just pop it into the computer and the virtual machine will read it. If you have a disc image (.ISO) file, you can select it and it will act like a normal disc in the virtual machine. To load a image file, open the main Windows Virtual PC window, select the machine, and click the Settings button. Then select the drive, click Open an ISO Image, and browse to and select it.

So talented is Alexi Ogando that the Texas Rangers' front office and coaching staff have been torn the past few seasons over what to do with the hard-throwing right-hander.
He was a promising bullpen arm during his debut season of 2010 and a dominant reliever in the 2011 postseason — after being selected to the All-Star Game as a starter.
He was good again in the bullpen in 2012, but good again as a starter in 2013 despite three trips to the disabled list.
Thanks for the memories.
But the ghost of that Ogando is now haunting the Rangers, who have continued to show faith in him this season even though he hasn't approached the same level of his past effectiveness.
Ogando allowed the first three runs in a six-run eighth inning that lifted Baltimore from a tied game to an 8-3 victory to open a three-game series at Globe Life Park.
Joe Saunders is no longer the one Rangers pitcher who is pushing the needle on the Panic Meter into chain-smoking territory.
Ogando has taken that spot after another outing that cost the Rangers a chance to win a ballgame.
"He just wasn't executing," manager Ron Washington said. "The more he pitches, the better he gets. We've been able to give him the ball and give him multiple innings, and he's been pitching well. Tonight was just one of those nights he didn't get the job done."
Some numbers support Washington's claim that Ogando, who insists that he is healthy, has been doing well of late. He entered Tuesday having allowed only one run in his past 8 2/3 innings, but he also had allowed at least one hit in five straight games, with walks in three straight.
Ogando's ERA after 25 innings this season is a disheartening 6.84, more than twice his career ERA. He has lost three times, been inconsistent at best many other times and was taken out of more high-leverage situations after a heavy workload and poor results in April.
"We never lost confidence in Ogando," Washington said. "When we backed off him, we backed off him because of the workload he was taking on. We tried to ease that a little bit. Ogando's been throwing the ball well."
The good news is that Tanner Scheppers should come off the disabled list soon and thereafter leap-frog Ogando in the bullpen pecking order.
Ideally, Scheppers will be a shutdown reliever like he was in 2013 and will handle situations like the one Ogando was dropped into Tuesday in a 2-2 game in the eighth inning.
Ogando retired J.J. Hardy to start the frame, but the Delmon Young's slow roller eluded Elvis Andrus' bare hand for a one-out single. Ogando then plunked Jonathan Schoop, and Caleb Joseph doubled to right-center to give the Orioles a 3-2 lead.
That was it for Ogando, who failed to retire any of the bottom three hitters in the Orioles' lineup.
"I wasn't consistent at all," Ogando said. "I couldn't find the strike zone, and my pitches were going everywhere."
Neal Cotts allowed two more runs on a Nick Markakis single. Manny Machado followed with a chopper that could have been an inning-ending double play until Cotts deflected it into no-man's land.
Nelson Cruz was next after a pitching change, and he unloaded a 404-foot liner into the left-field seats for his 21st homer and an 8-2 lead.
"It was kind of ugly at the end," Cotts said.
Adrian Beltre and Robinson Chirinos homered for the Rangers, who stayed in the game despite seeing Saunders allow 10 hits in six-plus innings of his second start since coming off the disabled list.
Saunders didn't do anything spectacular, though magically he allowed only two runs. He got some help when Schoop bounced into an inning-ending double play with runners at first and second in the sixth, and when Jason Frasor stranded two inherited runners in the seventh.
But, yet again, Ogando couldn't do his job in the eighth.
Scheppers can't return to the Rangers' bullpen soon enough.

In a sign that Blackwater is not planning on leaving Iraq anytime soon, on Thursday Blackwater posted a job opening for a "WPPS Regional Coordinator," a key management position for the controversial Worldwide Personal Protective Service II (WPPS II) contract with the Department of State. The position is responsible for staffing and equipping the contract and for supporting the in-country project manager. Although the administrative position is based at Blackwater's headquarters in Moyock, NC, given where Blackwater currently holds task orders under the WPPS, the responsibilities are almost certainly for the Iraq contracts.
The administrative position is responsible for proactively anticipating staffing changes, making sure the contract is fully staffed and all other contractor issues. According to the job announcement, that may include such issues such as pay, emergency leave, and arranging medevacs. However, we know from a memo from Majority Staff to the Members of the House Oversight Committee, that the job can get much more interesting than that. Blackwater experiences some rather unique personnel problems that the average HR professional doesn't exactly see every day, such as "inappropriately firing at Iraqis" and, my personal favorite, "proposing to sell weapons to the Iraqi government."
Regardless of whether the job of protecting diplomats in a war zone is done by Blackwater, another contractor or Diplomatic Security's own staff, they are all going to draw from the same personnel pool and they are all going to experience similar personnel problems. Let's face it, when you staff gunslinger jobs in a war zone, you have to pick from a rough crowd. What's important is how the incidents are handled and whether the bad behavior is tolerated because of pressure to keep the contracts fully staffed in order to avoid stiff financial penalties as stipulated in the contract. To be fair to Blackwater, they do have a demonstrated history of terminating staff for personnel problems under the WPPS II contract:
Weapons Related Incidents 28 Drugs and Alcohol Violations 25 Inappropriate/Lewd Conduct 16 Insubordination 11 Poor Performance 10 Aggressive/Violent Behavior 10 Rules Violations 8 Failure to Report an Incident/Lying 6 Publicly Embarrassing Blackwater 4 Security Clearance/Classification Issues 3 PTSD 1 Total 122
According to the aforementioned memo, over the contract period (approximately 2 years.) Blackwater has terminated the equivalent of one-seventh of its total current workforce in Iraq. (To make their math work, this is most likely referring to personnel category of personal security specialists only.)
Aside from the "Publicly Embarrassing Blackwater" category which probably is embarrassing Blackwater by now, this does seem to indicate that Blackwater management sets and enforces behavioral limits upon its staff. (Any manager will know how much it hurts to fire staff when faced with chronic personnel shortages, particularly when those staff are required to have security clearances.)
If you have a business degree and military background and you're still polishing that resumes, there is one caveat that should be taken very seriously given recent events: you must be capable of handling "a fast-paced and changing environment."
CYA experience a plus.

Security alert overload, a source of frustration for bank security departments for some time, appears to have careened out of control.
A survey of bank security chiefs being released by the research firm Ovum on Thursday morning documents how high the daily volume of messages about possible security incidents has grown. A third of the respondents were from banks in North America.
More than a third (37 percent) of banks, it turns out, receive more than 200,000 security alerts a day.
Ovum analyst Rik Turner called this a "signal-to-noise ratio" problem, in the research report.
It's too much for humans to cope with, even at banks with the largest security teams. Adding more operators isn't the solution, the problem needs to be solved through automation, Rich Baich, chief information security officer at Wells Fargo, said in an interview.
"Volumes of alerts will continue to climb until organizations implement the appropriate technology and overlay them with operational innovations that allow the organization to rapidly sift through the mountains of data to find the actionable alerts," Baich said.
Raj Samani, chief technology officer of the security software firm McAfee, also sees these volumes as unmanageable.
"There's no way any organization can do the necessary analysis on 200,000 events a day," he said in an interview. "Even if we take it back a touch, 61% of organizations receive in excess of 100,000 events a day. It's far too much to deal with in a practical fashion. A number of those events will simply be ignored."
The surveyed bank security executives seem to agree: Thirty-five percent said the ability to monitor and report security threats is their top security operational pain point. Further down the list are the worries of dealing with resource constraints, obtaining a skilled workforce, managing security workload and managing security threats of new technology such as cloud and mobile.
The survey also asked the security heads how many security tools they're using. More than a third (36 percent) said they are using between 51 and 100. This is another challenge to managing security, though the respondents noted that having multiple, disparate security systems improves their overall security posture.
"The challenge is that most organizations are running more than 25 tools," Samani said. "I was with a client last week and told them we've got some tools that let you check bitcoin wallet addresses. Their response to me was, 'God, no, not another dashboard.' "
The disparate nature of the many security software packages banks use is the weakest link in bank security, Samani said. Interoperability between security software programs would help.
But Baich noted that such security tech complexity is unavoidable.
"As organizations move from maturing their cybersecurity program from a static program to one that is proactive and preemptive, that requires a greater portfolio of tools," he said. "To meet the growing demand of the complex threat environment, organizations need to stay current with the latest solutions and often become system integrators synergizing disparate technologies to work together to solve the toughest problems. Thus, the quantity of tools required to accomplish these goals continues to grow."
