Graeme & Megan's Remodeled Mid-Century Ranch Kitchen
Graeme and Megan's Harvey Park, Denver home is only 1,300 square feet, but it feels much larger. A few smart remodeling decisions—removing interior walls, adding more access to the outdoors—makes the home feel twice as big as it actually is. The open kitchen reflects this design: plenty of windows ensure it feels light and open, while the long kitchen island separates but doesn't block access to the living room and dining room.

Nina Davuluri's (pictured) victory as the first Miss America of Indian heritage isn't sitting well with some on Twitter, according to the NY Daily News.
Shortly after the Syracuse-born, Oklahoma-raised Davuluri won the Miss America title Sunday evening, people began questioning her American status, with one man posting:
How the f–k does a foreigner win miss America? She is a Arab! #idiots.
A user named Morgan seemed to think along the same lines:
Twitter user Luke Brasili wrote:
9/11 was 4 days ago and she gets miss America?"
Brasili also added a picture of a terrorist holding an automatic rifle, but as of press time, his account was inaccessible.
And Nick Pizzo put his thoughts more succinctly:
Fox News commentator Todd Starnes also criticized Davuluri's Bollywood fusion dance Sunday, saying she failed to display "American values."

Heeding history's lessons
The rollercoaster plight of the northern gray wolf — the subject of this issue's cover story — is a good metaphor for American ambivalence toward the natural world. For more than a century, wolves were simply enemies that threatened cows, sheep, dogs and children. Determined government agencies channeled this fear into a campaign of poisoning, trapping and shooting that pretty much obliterated the canine menace throughout the Interior West by the 1940s.
But in the decades that followed, we had second thoughts. A new consciousness took root, planted in the soil of urban angst, social upheaval and the new science of ecology. Predators, we slowly came to see, are essential components of the natural world, filling a niche in a way that human hunters can never fully occupy. Out of this sensibility came the Endangered Species Act, and out of the act came the listing of the wolf and the determination to return the species to its former habitat.
In 1995, Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt released 29 Canadian wolves into Yellowstone National Park and the wilds of central Idaho. We now regard the subsequent — and startling — proliferation of these animals as one of the major conservation achievements of modern times. Yet, as writer Dan Glick notes, the wolf recovery effort remains haunted by its history. Some ranchers and hunters are still angry, firmly convinced that the wolves are a destructive force that should never have been allowed back into the West. And some conservationists are equally determined not to compromise, sure that any lessening of federal protection will lead to the wolves' annihilation all over again.
Are we always doomed to repeat our past mistakes? This question applies equally well to our second feature story, in which April Reese examines the work being done to reclaim public lands now being carved up by the gas industry. This is not the first time industry has dominated portions of the West's public lands. For over a century, mining and timber companies have indelibly transformed the landscape, polluting streams and obliterating habitat for a host of native species. Government agencies have more often than not failed to hold companies accountable, and the wounds to the land and water continue to bleed long after the booms have faded.
Of course, we know better nowadays. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we will do better. Though the Bureau of Land Management recently formed several new reclamation teams to oversee the hundreds of companies operating on the West's public lands, the agency's overall commitment to reclamation remains stuck in a 1950s-era mentality. Without mandatory regulations, beefed-up bonding requirements and greater enforcement, this boom is doomed to play out like all the others, leaving behind a ravaged landscape long after the companies are gone.
The blame doesn't just lie with the federal government or corporations. The conservation community, which has played such a decisive role in protecting public lands and wildlife in the West, needs to take an equally serious interest in reclamation, as unglamorous as the issue may seem.
There is still time to hold the gas industry accountable for cleaning up after itself, just as there is time to develop state wolf-management plans that both ranchers and wolf lovers can live with. But to do so, we will need to take a hard look at history, and make a conscious decision to do better this time.

SACRAMENTO — After months of requests from reporters, a California university on Friday agreed to allow members of the media to attend a fundraiser next week featuring Sarah Palin.
Officials with California State University, Stanislaus issued an e-mail advisory announcing that the June 25 gala at its Turlock campus would be open to the press. The Associated Press has been requesting access to the event since mid-April.
Palin's appearance has generated widespread coverage and criticism since it was announced in March. University officials have refused to divulge the terms of the former Alaska governor's contract or her speaking fee for the event, where the least expensive tickets cost $500.
CSU Stanislaus says its foundation handled the negotiations and is legally exempt from public records requirements. Palin has commanded fees as high as $100,000.
A spokesman for one of CSU's most vocal critics in the matter, state Sen. Leland Yee, said Friday that the decision to allow media access should have been a "no-brainer."
"It's somewhat mind-boggling this took so long," said the spokesman, Adam Keigwin.
Keigwin said Yee, a San Francisco Democrat, would encourage the university to extend the same invitation to its students.
CSU Stanislaus officials said it was never their intention to keep reporters out of the June 25 event.
"We always knew there would be great demand for Gov. Palin because she is such a compelling public figure," said university spokeswoman Eve Hightower.
Last month, CSU Stanislaus released dozens of documents in response to California Public Records Act requests from the AP and the open-government group Californians Aware.
The paperwork included e-mails documenting the university's efforts to limit public fallout over Palin's visit. It did not include information about her contract.
The state attorney general's office is currently conducting an investigation into the CSU Stanislaus Foundation's finances as well as allegations by several students that university officials threw away Palin-related documents in a campus trash bin in April.
One of the documents recovered at the time appeared to be a portion of Palin's contract, detailing perks such as first-class airfare for two, deluxe hotel accommodations and bottles of water complete with bendable straws.

Spreading the Love of Reading Person to Person
WORLD BOOK NIGHT is a celebration of literacy by publishers, bookstores, libraries and individuals who love books and reading. On WORLD BOOK NIGHT – Wednesday, April 23, 2014 -- 25,000 "book givers" will each give away 20 copies of a specially-printed, not-for-resale WBN edition of book they have read and loved (from a list of 30 titles selected by librarians and booksellers) to complete strangers – people who may never have owned a book of their own. To promote this literacy event, libraries and bookstores – as organizational participants in the event – form a nationwide advocacy and distribution network.
WORLD BOOK NIGHT 2014 library organizational participants are making a commitment to (1) be a site for individual "book giver" volunteers* to pick up their shipment of books and (2) be an active advocate in their community for World Book Night 2014 and literacy. (*Individuals in your community interested in being a "book giver" volunteer will be asked to complete the application on the World Book Night website, available in Fall 2013.)
WORLD BOOK NIGHT 2014 library organizational participants are committing to do the following:
- Agree to be listed as a World Book Night organizational participant on a list for potential "book givers."
- Have a designated World Book Night coordinator to handle shipment receipt, contact "book givers" in their area, and receive, read and respond to WBN email updates and questions.
- Supply a shipping address (accessible by UPS) and be open to receive boxes for area "book givers"
- Be a site where "book givers" from the community may pick up their box of books the week of April 14, to be given away to light or non-readers in the community on April 23, 2014 to encourage literacy and an appreciation of books.
- Invite givers to an open house/reception the week before World Book Night (see schedule below)
- Make copies of informational materials supplied by WBN to give to each book giver along with their box.
- Work in their local area, with local media and organizations, to promote World Book Night and literacy.
- Give unused books (for instance, boxes of books not picked up by the designated "book giver") to local nonprofit groups identified by the library (for instance, senior centers, teen centers).
- Individual librarians are very much encouraged to apply to be givers themselves via the same online application process as the members of the public.
- Approval to be an individual book giver does not automatically qualify your library a shipping point.
- If you are a school library and you have safety concerns with the public having access to your school, it would not be a good idea to be a distribution site since it's a possibility that "book givers" from your community will be assigned to your school. However, you are very much encouraged to apply to become a "book giver".
- One Third of the WBN books are given to at risk students and to students in underfunded schools – but they must apply online and then later in the process, choose a local store or public library as the box shipping point.
- The giver boxes must be given unopened to the giver whose name is on the box.
2014 WBN Schedule:
|Week of March 17
|Week of March 24
|Week of April 7
|Week of April 14
|Week of April 21
|April 23
World Book Night - Have fun!
If you have questions, please contact Mary Ghikas (email@example.com) or Danielle Alderson (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The WORLD BOOK NIGHT 2014 LIBRARY PARTICIPANT APPLICATION must be submitted by January 5, 2014, 11:59pm ct.

I'm new to programming and have been reading up on fundamental programming theory. So, Turing machines are the first thing I stumble upon. I believe I understand on a very basic level the idea of a Universal Turing Machine (what it is and how it works, it's significance, etc.).
I became intrigued by the idea of it and it seemed like a simple enough setup. I read that lambda calc is equivalent to a turing machine, so I went looking for some examples in lisp and came across The Shortest Universal Machine Implementation Contest http://www.mathrix.org/experimentalAIT/ ... chine.html
The first thing that surprised me was that there wasn't a Common Lisp implementation. Then I saw the one done with mathematica and became skeptical. I don't know much about programming languages, but it seems that a lot can be built into a language. If so, isn't mathematica sort of cheating?
Also, what would a Universal Turing Machine implementation look like in Common Lisp and how would you actually use it? I though I'd be able to find more information on this topic. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — In a clean, hushed room in the south of Mexico City, cameras, computer screens and scrawling needles track the symptoms of a special patient, as they have every second of every day for the past two decades. The monitors indicate that "Don Goyo" is breathing normally, even as he spews hot rock, steam and ash.
That kind of activity isn't unusual for the 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) volcano, Mexico's second-highest, whose formal name is Popocatepetl, or "Smoking Mountain" in the Aztec language Nahuatl. But this volcano, personified first as a warrior in Aztec legend and now as an old man grumbling with discontent, is in the middle of two metro areas, where his every spurt can put 20 million people on edge.
Mexico's National Disaster Prevention Center laboratory keeps a round-the-clock watch on Popocatepetl, with anywhere from six to 15 technicians analyzing data for signs of a full-scale eruption, which they can never fully anticipate.
Though lava or glowing rock would only travel so far, an explosion could be deadly for 11,000 people in three farming villages within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of the base because of landslides and hot gas. A spectacular plume of ash could also wreak havoc on one of the world's largest metro areas, much as it did in 2003, when the sky over Mexico City more than 40 miles (65 kilometers) away nearly went dark in the middle of the afternoon. The neighboring city of Puebla on the other side of the volcano from the capital would also be clouded over.
"The volcano is like a patient, and we observe the different aspects," said the center's technical director Gilberto Castelan. "Here we receive over 60 indicators in real time."
The 20-by-30-foot (6-by-9-meter) laboratory resembles those that once housed old giant supercomputers, everything plain white with a server at one end and screens all around. Five remote-controlled cameras positioned on the side of the mountain emit real-time images, while sensors feed data to the constantly scrolling seismographs as the crew and volcanologists analyze the concentration of gases and changes in the shape of the mountain. The loudest laboratory sound is a regular ping that alerts technicians to every seismic shift, at least a half dozen an hour.
The data helps set the "volcano stoplight," a three-color system in which green means little activity, yellow means warning and red starts the evacuation process — something that has occurred only twice since 1994, when the volcano awoke again after sitting dormant for seven decades.
"It's one of the most advanced laboratories of its kind in the world, and the scientists in charge are using the best methods," said Michael Sheridan, a volcanologist at the University of Buffalo in New York who has studied Popocatepetl. "It is very difficult to predict the behavior of a volcano that has not had an eruption in recent history."
Earlier this month, Popocatepetl released ash that grounded plane flights and dusted cars, but it quieted down enough last week for the warning to drop from yellow-3 to yellow-2. The Mexican government has designated evacuation routes and shelter locations in the case of a bigger explosion.
Popocatepetl, nicknamed Popo or Don Goyo, is a stratovolcano, a steep conical formation built from layers of thick, slow-moving lava and ash — the same type as Mount St. Helens in Washington state, scene of a 1980 eruption that was the most deadly in the U.S., killing 57 people.
Mexico's disaster prevention center says Popo has been active for at least 500,000 years and has had at least three eruptions as large as Mount St. Helens, the most recent 23,000 years ago. Unlike Hawaiian volcanos and their rivers of lava, the biggest dangers for those nearby are mudslides and swift-moving clouds of gas. For those farther away, it's the ash, which can ruin motors, stall airplanes, cover roofs with material heavy enough to make buildings collapse and cause respiratory diseases.
"Considering the number of people who would be affected, it could be considered among the most dangerous volcanos in the world," said Ramon Espinasa, director of geological hazards for the disaster prevention center.
According to Mexican legend, Popocatepetl was a warrior who sought the hand of Iztaccihuatl, a fair maiden whose reluctant father told her that her suitor had died in battle. The "Romeo and Juliet"-style tale ends with the lovers turning into twin mountains east of Mexico City. The dormant peak of Iztaccihuatl has since become part of a national park, while access to Popocatepetl is closed off.
Don Goyo, meanwhile, is the nickname for Gregory, a character who supposedly was the spirit of the volcano and would come to warn the locals of eruptions or to assure them that the mountain, despite plumes of smoke, was calm.
Today that's Castelan's job. He and his crew of technicians don't have much to say about the myths or legends, preferring to stick to the hard data in their laboratory, which opened right after Popo's reawakening two decades ago. At the time, Mexico was about to plunge into one of its worst economic crises. Since then, Mexicans say the eruptions are just Don Goyo showing his discontent with the course of his country, including blowing off smoke and ash a year ago, just before the presidential election.
Castelan prefers to look to the sensors to read Don Goyo's thoughts. The trick is monitoring the crater, where it's too hot for instruments, and that's where the seismographs offer clues.
Some tremors indicate an internal buildup of magma, while others result from expulsions of rock and ash. At times the only way to really see what's going on inside is to fly over the crater, something Mexican officials do regularly, feeding the laboratory more data.
The technicians are especially watchful of lava domes that can form inside the crater in hours, days or weeks, creating a pressurized cap.
The domes usually grow and then collapse. But they could also harden into a sort of bottle-stopper, allowing pressure to build until the volcano violently dislodges the cap in an explosion. What seems to be happening with Popo is lava settling inside, bringing the crater floor closer and closer to the rim, Castelan said.
"The volcano becomes more dangerous as the crater fills with lava, and the domes that form are closer in elevation to the crater rim," Sheridan told The Associated Press in an email. "Explosions can more easily throw red hot lava fragments over the rim and onto the volcano flanks."
In 2000, Popo's floor was 150 yards (meters) below the rim of the crater, compared to 50 yards (meters) today, he said. In the case of Mount St. Helens, the summit slid away and a new crater was formed, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Mount St. Helens' huge eruption came just 15 to 20 seconds after a 5.1 magnitude quake.
Castelan, a 42-year-old father of three, has worked in the laboratory since 1997 and steadily moved up to technical director. The job has meant days without going home, or tending to equipment failures on nights and weekends.
Sometimes he thinks, "Not again," when he's called while off duty. But he said he does the work gladly because he knows how important it is that the people in the shadows of Popo stay alerted and safe.
"It's a very important relationship that we've established," he said. "We take care of this volcano."

Thanks for all your lovely comments! I have been meaning to sort the website out and post this for ages, but the closer it got the more tempted I was just to wait a bit longer and then chuck up a dog photo with a random baby in the corner and see if anyone noticed.
I forgot to say that we don't know the flavour, so that will be a surprise. One of many, I'm sure. Nobody will commit to their predictions on the sex (my mum: "I think it's a girl from the back but a boy from the front," well IT CAN BE ONLY ONE, also PICK A SIDE) and I myself have no idea. I thought it was a girl for a long time and now I think it's a boy. Mostly because Mr. T vetoed my top choice girl name and therefore by Sod's Law the time I am currently spending on picking another one is bound to be wasted. Other than STOMPING ON MY DREAMS, Mr T has been busy continuing to renovate the house. I have finally given him the ultimate definite deadline date, and one of my major requirements was, "Don't leave me trapped inside this house all summer with a baby." Therefore building the deck jumped up the list and is currently underway.
Yes the little frog still looks a bit like the victim of an inept brain surgeon, but the hair on his head is growing back. Slowly. I have no explanation for that giant paw sticking out the front of him; he grew that himself. Also you can see the bobcat in the background, which (due to the deck) can no longer get into the back yard and is about to be banished to the front. The frog is terrible with the bobcat, in that he has no sense of personal safety and just walks in front of it and lies down while it's working. (I'm hoping bobcat translates into other locales… like a little mini digger?) Anyway, as for the deck, that bit under the frog is only the start of it… below is the same subject matter (frog on the deck) but with me standing further back.
So yes, the deck will be large. The roof/pergola thing over the top will also be replaced at some point, but my main concern now is to have the deck itself done. By the end of the week! It's only taken, like, TWO YEARS! In renovation terms, a mere blip. And I only had to GENERATE LIFE to get it to happen.

Five Middletown residents and three New Castle residents were arrested in a major drug raid that netted more than 2 kilos of cocaine. Police said that the three month long investigation connects members and associates of the Thunderguards Motorcycle Club to the cocaine distribution ring.
Five Middletown residents were among those arrested in "Operation Thunder Clap," an ongoing investigation into the drug related activities of the Thunderguards Motorcycle Club.
The three month long, undercover investigation, spearheaded by the Delaware State Police, targeted a cocaine distribution network in New Castle County by the Delaware motorcycle club, said Sgt. Paul Shavack.
"It was an undercover investigation that led to information on a cocaine distribution network operated by the Thunderguards," he said. "It started in August."
On Nov. 5 and Nov. 6, 10 search warrants were executed at 10 New Castle County locations and one in Elkton, Md. address, turning up more than 2,300 grams of cocaine, 167 grams of marijuana, $41,913 in cash, more than a dozen guns, and other paraphernalia, police said.
The street value of the more than 2 kilos of cocaine is $100,000, according to police.
The Thunderguards Motorcycle Club Clubhouse on Northeast Boulevard in Wilmington was searched, as well as residences in the unit block of Stanton Avenue in New Castle, the unit block of Craig Road in Bear, the 100 block of Halcyon Drive in New Castle, the 300 block of Paddington Drive of Bear, the unit block of Leeward Court of Elkton, the 100 block of Donhaven Drive in New Castle, the unit block of Haggis Road in Middletown, the 500 block of New Street in Middletown and the 100 block of Peachtree Lane in Middletown.
Police found 178 grams of cocaine and 46 grams of marijuana in the home on New Street, which they connected Armar C. Womack, 55, and Marquita S. Charlton, 29, both of Middletown. Digital scales, $2,000 in cash, and several pieces of Thunderguard clothing were also seized from the residence, police said.
At the Peachtree Lane address in Middletown, police connected Enrico F. Verucci, Sr., 51, and his son Bryan, 29, to the 9 grams of cocaine, 112 grams of marijuana, two handguns, four rifles, and six shotguns found at the home.
MDS Enterprises, which is located at 98 Albe Drive in Newark, was also searched.
"Operation Thunder Clap is an ongoing investigations with more arrests and indictments expected as the investigation progresses," Shavack said.
Police also seized a cocaine press, digital scales, five handguns, and 11 long guns, including an assault rifle.
State Police, New Castle County Police, Middletown Police, Dover Police, the Delaware Department of Corrections, the Office of Probation and Parole, the Department of Justice, the Maryland State Police, the Cecil County Drug Task Force and the FBI Baltimore SWAT are all involved in the ongoing investigation, which has led to eight arrests of club members and associates.
Mark Singleton, 39, of Middletown was connected to the residence on Haggis Road.
He was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $151,600 cash bond.
Both Verucci's were charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession of a firearm, conspiracy, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Police said that there was a 3-year-old boy in the Peachtree Lane residence at the time of the search.
Both were released on $73,000 unsecured bonds.
James A. Robertson, 44, of New Castle, was found by police at the Thunderguard Clubhouse in Wilmington, where he was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon with an obliterated serial number, and possession of a deadly weapon.
He was committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $7,500 cash bond.
Charlton and Womack were both charged with possession of cocaine and intent to deliver, endangering the welfare of a child, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police said that a 9-year-old boy was at the New Street home at the time of the search.
Charlton was committed to the Baylor Women's Correction Institute on a $318,750 secured bond and Womack was committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $318,750 secured bond.
New Castle resident Arthur M. Blount, 46, was connected to the Donhaven Drive residence and charged with possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana within a school zone, conspiracy, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $111,250 cash bond.
Ernest E. Saunders Jr., 35, of New Castle, was connected to the addresses on Halcyon and Paddington drives and charged with possession of cocaine, possession with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, maintaining a drug property, possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition.
Saunders was found with the two bricks of cocaine, which added up to 2 kilos.
He was committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $4.5 million secured bond.
The charges the eight individuals are facing are from the search warrants themselves, and not the entire investigation, Shavack said.

Manny, the Canucks miss you, but it's not THAT bad.
(Photo by Rich Lam/Getty Images North America)
The post-Manny era this season has begun for the Vancouver Canucks. Canucks fans immediately began lamenting the loss of the lauded faceoff man and penalty killer.
Well the Canucks have now played four games without Malhotra and things really aren't as bad as they seem.
When Manny Malhotra left the game against Colorado on March 16th, some Canucks fans instantly started to worry about their team's chances in the upcoming playoffs. Malhotra's prowess all season was a key ingredient in the Canucks rocketing up the standings to an area in the stratosphere never before seen in Vancouver. His faceoff skills and penalty killing abilities helped the team to first place in both categories in the league.
But let's calm down. While Malhotra is great in two very focused categories, there is ample room to replace his skills.
First off, the Canucks are a great faceoff team, with or without Malhotra. In the four games without Manny in the lineup, the Canucks won 53.96% of their faceoffs. This is only 1.14% below their season average. To give you some perspective on what that means, that equated to approximately 3 additional faceoff losses spread out over those 4 games. In other words, less than one faceoff loss per game. That's hardly something that should cause panic. Quite the opposite actually. The fact is, the Canucks can win faceoffs without Malhotra.
Then there is the penalty kill. At first glance, there is an alarming stat that jumps off the page – the Canucks have allowed 3 PPGs in their four games without Malhotra. OH NOES! SOUNDZ THE WARNING SIGNAL! PANIC!!
Hang on.
Let's look a little closer at those goals. Two of their three PPGs they allowed came on the same PK. That PK was on a very questionable 5-minute boarding major assessed to Alex Burrows. So the Canucks were short-handed for five minutes without one of their main penalty killers in Burrows.
Furthermore, the Canucks PK is 16-for-19 in these four games, good for 84.21%. That would put them tied with Nashville for 6th in league PK. And that 84.2% is only 2.1% below their league-leading season average of 86.3%. A 2.1% drop works out to two-fifths of one PPG against. In other words, if they kept playing at that same PK rate, they would have to go shorthanded about 30 more times before it would net out to one more PPG against. And again, that's adding in the 5 minute major penalty to one of the Canucks main penalty killers. So I am allowing no grace on that call or that penalty, and the Canucks still would have to take 30 more penalties, and kill them off at their current rate before it equalled on more PPG against than their season average.
I can't speak at all about missing Manny's presence on and off the ice. We have read many stories of Malhotra's almost endless leadership and there is no doubt that the Canucks will miss that, especially as they move further through the playoffs. But the fact is that the Canucks, statistically, are proving that, right now, they can win with him. The test for the Canucks will be for them to continue this winning, to learn and remember how to win without Malhotra on their powerplay and without him taking so many defensive zone draws. The further they go in the playoffs, the more they will get to used to it, the more they will find the leadership they need to press for the Cup. And let's face it. The Canucks have plenty of leadership on their roster right now. Sure, Manny was a real gem but they have the horses to pull the cart along.
Canucks fans, there is no need for panic. Your team is proviing that they can absorb loss and simply roll on. They have proved it all year with the injuries to their defense. They are proving it as they deal with the loss of Malhotra. And they will undoubtedly have to deal with it further as they go on into the playoffs.
This comes on the heals of the latest setback to the defense, as Dan Hamhuis suffered his fourth concussion and second this year. Well today we find out, via Ben Kuzma on Twitter and Tony Gallagher in the Province, some very encouraging news. First, Hamhuis traveled with the team to Nashville, watched the team practice and is making dinner plans. These are all very good signs. We also found out that Tanner Glass was skating today, and that Alex Edler and Andrew Alberts could return to practice this week.
The cavalry is coming, Canucks fans. Even if the Canucks have proved that they don't really need it.

July 2, 2012 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: 3270 Mainframe - HANDS screens to be disabled
SUBJECT 2: Public Comment Invited on 2013 WIC State Plan
SUBJECT 3: FFY2013 Local Agency Plan
SUBJECT 4: Performance Measures Survey
- 3270 Mainframe - HANDS screens to be disabled: Effective July 6, 2012, most HANDS screens in the 3270 mainframe will be disabled. These will include the H107 and H1W7screens, since they are not needed to check for adjunct eligibility. Disabling unneeded HANDS screens will save money for the state WIC program. The HDFS screen and DCN search and assignment screens (SCLR, SNME, etc.) will not be disabled.
Please contact email@example.com if you have questions.
- Public Comment Invited on 2013 WIC State Plan: The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is soliciting public comment on the proposed Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program FFY 2013 State Plan, which covers the period beginning October 1, 2012 and ending September 30, 2013. USDA requires states to develop an annual plan that includes goals on nutrition services initiatives to promote and support breastfeeding; retailer management; and other program goals. Additionally, comments are invited on the 2013 Local Agency Nutrition Services Contract Scope of Work for local WIC providers. The changes for 2013 are highlighted. All public comments are welcome and must be directed to the attention of email@example.com via email, or fax to 573-526-1470 or mail to Susan White, WIC and Nutrition Services, P.O. Box 570, 930 Wildwood Drive, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0570. Comments will be included in the final copy of the plan which will be submitted to the US Department of Agriculture no later than July 13, 2012. All comments are due to the Department of Health and Senior Services by July 6, 2012 to allow time for incorporation into the final document. (TWO ATTACHMENTS)
- FFY2013 Local Agency Plan: The FFY2013 Local Agency Plan (LAP) manual is now available at http://health.mo.gov/living/families/wic/wiclwp/policies.php. We plan to release the LAP application for local agencies to use on July 9, 2012. In the meantime, please ensure that you can log onto the LAP. If you have any problems with your user name and/or password, please contact the ITSD Help Desk at 800-347-0887. If you have any questions regarding the LAP manual, please contact Debby Hanlon at 800-392-8209 or by email at email@example.com/gov.
- Performance Measures Survey: The WIC Performance Measures project is a collaboration between the State WIC Office and Local WIC Providers to focus on goals of ultimately improving services and improving health outcomes through Performance Measures. The project will be implemented in FY2013, and in FY2014 we will move from writing objectives in the LAP to determining targets for Performance Measures.
A workgroup of State WIC staff and local agency staff has developed a list of measures using reporting already in place:
- To increase the percentage of infants that are breastfed at birth;
- To increase the percentage of infants who continue to breastfeed at 3 months of age;
- To increase the percentage of infants who continue to breastfeed at 6 months of age;
- To decrease the percentage of children age 2 - 5 whose BMI for age > 85th percentile to <95th percentile;
- To decrease the percentage of children age 2 - 5 whose BMI for age > 95th percentile;
- To increase the percentage of prenatals enrolled in WIC in the 1st Trimester;
- To decrease the number of voided checks that are redeemed;
- To increase the Administrative Monitoring Scores by increasing adherence to program policies and regulations; and
- To increase the Nutrition Monitoring Scores by increasing adherence to program policies and regulations.
Agencies will see their performance compared to other agencies similar in caseload size. Implementation of the pilot program began in March, 2012 for 5 pilot agencies. Currently pilot agencies track progress through quarterly reporting with graphs. We will be evaluating current measures and performance prior to the end of FY12 to make plans for statewide Performance Measures implementation in FY13. The plan for FY13 includes a computer application that can be used to store and display the Performance Measures data. We would like your input on plans for FY13, so please complete the survey questions on the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/T62HXLT by July 31, 2012. If you have questions, you may contact Betty Cassidy at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800-392-8209.
2013 Goals and Objectives
SOW Final Highlighted

By: Kent Spencer
How does your garden grow? Some Vancouver entrepreneurs have come up with a whole new approach by building a mechanized garden on the roof of a parking garage.
The process centres around two sets of conveyor belts which move 3,000 trays of leafy green vegetables upwards and downward, and forwards and backwards.
The $2 million system makes maximum use of natural light and reduces the need for 350-watt artificial light bulbs.
Representatives of Alterrus, a Vancouver company specializing in vertical farming technology, hope to grow 70,000 kilograms of greens and herbs annually. They will be sold in local groceries and upscale restaurants.
"Everybody's looking for a local sustainable salad that doesn't come from California," said Alterrus strategic adviser Donovan Woollard at a news conference.
"We're looking to put more systems in Vancouver and other cities," he said. "There aren't many viable ways of producing leafy greens in northern North American climates."
Woollard said the intensive farming practice allows 10 times as much food to be grown per square metre as in traditional fields.
Mayor Gregor Robertson said his green city plans are bearing fruit.
"This is no substitute for farms, but it is a very innovative approach to growing greens in a whole new way," he said.
"It is great to see this come to fruition," he said.
Robertson said the location made sense because jobs were created and the top of the parking garage was not being used. Alterrus is paying "market rates" for the space.
"These are revenues we were not getting because the parking was not at capacity," he said.
More to come.

2 questions about ADD and ADHD
2 questions about ADD and ADHD
So if any of you have read any of my posts tonight.. you will clearly see that my thoughts are sometimes what I call blurry and incoherent.. and just quite frankly a fucking mess of shit going on at the same time not even circular but a burst ugh.. and putting them down on paper or here .. is really tough for me because to come across as a semi intelligent person I would have to sit and edit the fuck out of each one of them. see the prejudice thread.. if you have any doubts..
So I have been diagnosed with ADHD.. Adult Defitict something or another.. haha.. everyone knows what this is.. its a joke.. hardy har
and I went to a specialist about 4 or 5 years ago he mainly saw children but was highly recommended and dealt with some adults as well ( not pertinent to the thread.. case and point ) He actually told me that I had one of the highest scoring ADHD tests he had ever seen..and I believed him because I had a few friends and family members take the test from their outside perspective about me and several online inquires.. told me to go to a doctor IMMEDIATELY So what he wanted to know, was how I am a functioning adult.. how I had held the same job for 10 years.. what my grades were in school ( A's and B's very few C's on subjects I detest-- writing and English.. go figure ) even though I obviously knew that I had done these things and that was out of pattern.But that's normal who would question how you kept your job.. you just do your job.. . So we started to look at my living patterns and such and came up with that in school.. I realized that I had to study A LOT.. some subjects came very easily to me in conversation or application but when reading about things.. I had to have a highlighter and a pen and a notebook and flash cards.. and I had to reread the same paragraphs sometimes 5-6 times to even realize what I had read.. and a little bit after high school when I got my job, that I kept and excelled in actually - working up to a team lead manager of 8 people under the biggest broker in my company.. that I had became and still am an obsessive work out fiend.. to this day I work out to complete and udder exhaustion.. out of the need to clear my mind.. I am completely unsatisfied with a mediocre workout.. I need a full out wtf brutal attack of body and mind power - like running long distance or xfit, oly lifting.. plyometrics.. whatever.. but I did these things ( the lists the working out the blah blah routines that I had to develop ) out of need and unconsciously.. So I found a way to naturally cope.. . And then we looked at my many many hobbies and need for new adventures and conquests.. ie like ive said before scuba running flying xfit ultimate Frisbee.. and whatever I decide to try and conquer in the next three months - and my almost compulsive fear of commitment and the way I jump out of relationships at the first sign of uh oh .. and my impulsive buying shopping nature.. and all of the life patterns.. alcohol abuse ( I say abuse meaning I sometimes need to realize I use that to medicate as well not that im a raging alchy ) drug use when I was a teenager.. so he suggested meds.. highly recommended.. told me it would be a life changing experience even.. and I did for a couple months.. but I couldn't remember to take them when I needed ( go figure again ) and I didn't like the jittery feeling that I got when I took them.. and I didn't feel comfortable flying an airplane on them because they made me jumpy.. but the doc said that we just hadn't gotten the dosage correct and to be honest to me,, I might need a lot.. but he didn't want to jump me up so we were going slowly.. long story long.. I gave up on the meds before we got to that correct dosage.. and I just continue to workout until my mind thinks straight.. and I think that is healthy to an extent.. but I also wonder if there are things that could be helped in my life -- ie could write without feeling self conscience that people would read my posts letters or emails and think I am a complete idiot rambling on and changing subjects sometimes mid sentence.. and yes im well aware of my awful wtf run on sentences -- but working out doesn't help these things.. only lists and complete order and I am disorderly person( unless I put a lot of effort into it.. like my job or something I know is important .. like flying.. all the checklists and things make sense. ).. and my fear of commitment is getting kinda scary and then with that comes the.. is this my issue or is this guy really a nit.. I left an amazing man who I was engaged to and had the perfect life laid out in front of me because of complete boredom and have regretted it almost daily after I got done with sowing my oats for 3 months.. but I completely fucked him over and never deserved the 2nd chance I very openly begged him for.. and respect him even more for telling me to kindly fuck off .. when so many other men continue to let me fuck them over again and again..because they just know it as me.. but he actually had self respect and cared more about his self worth then trying to fix me and I appreciate that very much.. oddly enough
so my first question (I felt while I was on a posting roll I would share that first so you would know where I am coming from ) SEE I CANT JUST SAY.. HERE IS MY QUESTION.. FML
how do you deal with your ADD or ADHD.. medication.. or rituals or moving/slash working out to clear your mind.. ?
and my 2nd question is
Do you believe that it is a real illness?.. I've had several people tell me it is a made up illness for weak-minded people.. btw that's a slap in the face - because I feel like I am above what I feel like is normal intelligence very quite simply because of my curiosity and ability to say the phrase " I don't know" -- if that sounds egotistical .. I'm sure that most of the people on this forum have that same ego.. maybe im wrong.. but.. and also I kind of take pride in my ability to naturally overcome at least some of the effects of this mental bs.. but you guys.. ( the ones who actually will try and get through my ramblings ) have to now deal with the part I can't control.. eek..
So there it is another rant with at least two questions I would like some insight on the Kellie post-a-thon Friday night/Saturday morning debacle..

It's a very real disease, but it's probably a "cluster". Anyway, when the doc was done, the dad, says, "oh ok, I have that too. I always have, can I take the boy's med too ?", (he's about 26). So all three of them took the meds. They all got instantly better. The three of them. The boys only take their meds during the school year, not during the summer. The dad takes his all the time. I have a friend who I used to get very frustrated with, until I realized, he simply cannot concentrate on anything, and it's not for lack of trying. So I don't have much to offer, but yes it's very real, and there are millions who have been helped by the meds. Maybe some docs use the meds too easily, I don't know. I suppose there are other things that produce the symptoms, but for a huge group, it's just brain chemicals gone awry.
Insufferable know-it-all. It is objectively immoral to kill innocent babies. Please stick to the guilty babies.

With my daughter (ADHD) and my son (Aspergers) the symptoms were addressed through a change of diet (no additives, preservatives or colourants and no casein and no gluten). Fucking difficult to do btw.
Addressing the symptoms (incidents) is not the same as addressing the cause (the problem). The latter can only be done if one knows the root cause. This is, as yet, unknown.

For myself it is not a question.. but I do like to hear the counters on maybe I'm just lazy sometimes as well.. It is motivating to me to a point. I am seriously considering going to another DR. and discussing some other form of meds. As I recently have had discussions with friends who say that it helps them a lot during work.. But generally they don't take it later because it would keep them awake.. SO ther is my draw back - I'm fine when it comes to the practical things - as I have my systems seem to work at least in my line of work which is pretty chaotic in nature. BUT I would love to be able to make decisions faster/less last minute out of necessity - which generally makes me wish I had made the other decision... And this can be as simple as the conditioner I buy or the men that I date.. I never have closure on if I am doing the "right" thing. Everything seems to work out .. but.. ugh Really I just think it is getting worse as of late.. and Im getting to the point where ignoring and self medicating might not be working.. MORE RAMBLE.. less making sense..sorry guys..

RE: 2 questions about ADD and ADHD
Your doc believes it's a real disease, and you clearly struggle with it. I've never encountered it, but I believe it must be real. Mind stuff is ultimately the *hardest* to control. If you had something physical wrong with you, like maybe... actually I can't think of anything I'd wish on you ... but then you know, they (the amazing they) can cure those things... mind stuff - we're maybe not quite in the stone age of treatment there, but if anything only just out of it.

My dear, I don't think medication would help you with that particular problem. Decision-making and how we handle it is a huge problem for a lot of people... as is the perfect 20/20 hindsight vision. Same with closure and the "have I done the right thing" question. There isn't a pill big enough in the world to help us with that.
I totally get the rambling bit, too (been there, but to a much lesser degree, 'cause I'm a control freak of sorts). And no, you're not lazy and yes, it is a real disease or at least something caused by your brain chemistry.
Well, that wasn't very useful, was it... just wanted to say that you shouldn't really blame yourself for having difficulties with choosing and decision-making and also with second-guessing the decisions you did make. That's a huge part of what makes us human (at least I think it is).
"E se non passa la tristezza con altri occhi la guarderò."
RE: 2 questions about ADD and ADHD
k37713, hope you got my email response. It said I couldn't reply because your pm is turned off.
Anyway, now that I have a few moments to respond in terms of add/adhd...
First question: Do I have anything I do to cope with my ADD/ADHD? YES. I try to keep myself consciously aware of when I start drifting. It affects me at work immensely, although over the years I have learned to cope with it. The largest issue is that people can be talking to me and if I'm multitasking, I will end up usually ignoring what they are saying. The way I have found to do this is to always always always face them, turn to them and concentrate on their face when they speak. Otherwise I wander off mentally and do not retain whatever they said.
For instance... if i'm checking email, someone is talking and I'm trying to listen, I may catch 1/10 or 3/10 of the conversation and the rest goes off into nowhere since my face is on my computer.
At home, in my personal zone, I do whatever interests me. I have a lot of hobbies and I do bounce from hobby to hobby quite frequently. I lose interest very easily, drop it, and go to the next hobby. Over time I always return to them all, but I find I have a very hard time concentrating. As well, since I work on cars as one of my primary hobbies I have to keep a list of things I want to accomplish at that time. It is too easy for me to start a single project on a car, mentally go... "OH while I'm here I can do this." and spend another hour on that thing, and forget what I originally set forth to do...
To answer the second question, an illness? I don't know about an illness, since my definition of illness is something that someone catches, or perhaps gets that affects one... and sometimes can be cured or not. I would think of ADHD as a cognitive issue, or rather, a condition that we struggle with mentally more than anything.
As odd as it may sound, some of the SMARTEST people I work with are ridiculously high ADHD or ADD, a few even more than myself. I don't think that means "people with adhd or add are smarter than most people" - but I think we tend to have a different approach to analyzing and thinking about things since our brains are all over the place. One single focus is difficult to concentrate on, unless you try really really hard to focus. Multitasking can be good if you can learn to focus on things, which is likely why ADHD or ADD people seem to do well with technology from what I've seen.
Is it a real something? Yeah I suppose so, from what I can tell.

I just got back from a beautiful wedding in Folly Beach, South Carolina for my cousin Tara's wedding. It was magnificent, right down to the perfect 70-degree weather—and almost as magnificent as the happy couple. Nic and Tara have been together for six years, and my dad (who's a judge) officiated their wedding (see picture). It was the most beautiful and laid-back wedding I've ever attended—on a beach, the bride and groom walked barefoot down an aisle lit up by tiki torches right at dusk while the tide was low. We all stood around watching them exchange heartfelt vows about supporting each other's dreams, loving each other unconditionally, and promising to be each other's best friends while they grow old together. I cried, of course (I always cry). But I also cried because I couldn't help but think of my own wedding, three years, two businesses, new jobs, a house, a dog, a two-year-old, and about 200 sleepless nights ago...
Nic didn't take his eyes off of Tara the entire ceremony; after six years together you could still see how deep his love is for her, it reminded me of all the beautiful things about young love and the joining of two lives—the things that tend to get a little complicated once your life kicks into high gear and kids enter the picture. Not that those aren't also beautiful in their own right.
The reception itself was like nothing I've attended either. Friends and family helped decorate the outside of a huge seven-bedroom house on the beach, the site of the reception: mason jars cradled candles hanging above; their dog Beastie, a lab and pitbull mix, went straight from the ceremony to the reception, wearing a bowtie that said "Best Dog"; and to make it all the more perfect, there was a taco truck parked out front during the entire reception, serving made-to-order soft-shell chicken, grouper, and veggie tacos, along with Spanish rice and black beans. A band played on a porch above while people danced barefoot; and later on in the evening the bride's step-sister put on a fire hula-hoop show. By the time we retired at 11:30, the bride's step-dad was playing Red Hot Chilli Pepper's tunes on his guitar, while another guy sang. The groom, who grew up in the area and looks like a poster boy for Folly Beach, remained barefoot all night. We heard the party continued into the wee, wee hours...
This is my cousin on my mom's side—Tara is my mom's brother Arnie's youngest daughter, whom I hardly get to see, the last time was at my own wedding actually. She and my other two first cousins, Leila and Neyah, live in different parts of the country (South Carolina, Atlanta and San Francisco), so it takes a special occasion to bring us all together. Unfortunately we decided not to bring the kids to the wedding—instead, we left Preston with his three cousins, my brother's kids, and their babysitter, back in Chicago.
The kids would've had a blast playing on the beach—it saddened me a little that Preston wasn't there to meet my cousins, and spend time with my Uncle Arnie and Aunt Pam. He's like an appendage—without him, I don't feel complete. And once I saw other babies at the reception, I was even more regretful we didn't bring him—though granted, it definitely would've made the weekend a little less chill for us. But I was so happy to be a part of this wedding, even if our visit was short. It's a special group of people with an extended family tree connecting everyone in very unique ways. I also met cousins I have only heard about for years, my Aunt Pam's kids; growing up with such a small family, it's nice to know I have these connections to people all over the country. We grew up with no immediate close cousins nearby.
My family stayed at a great house across the street from the wedding site, called Simple Pleasures, and it was perfect for all us—my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, my husband and I, and my cousin Leila all stayed together, and had fun frolicking around the town and hanging out on the beach, watching the groom spend the morning surfing the day after the wedding. This is a real beach town, where shoes are not required anywhere, and where you actually see dolphins peeking out over the waves, and the beaches aren't littered with anything other than the softest, cleanest sand that feel like little beads of heaven between your toes.
You couldn't not have a great time at this wedding; it was so reflective of the bride and groom's easy personalities—their cake top, for example, which they made together, was of them in a boat with their dog Beastie. Perfect and simple. There was so much love surrounding them throughout the night, it was palpable. They were gracious and sweet, and honored to have all their loved ones there, people who traveled from all over the country to watch them tie the knot.
The most amazing part of all of it was what I spotted during the ceremony: Just as Tara was saying her vows, a flock of birds flew above in the shape of an "M," as if the bride's late mother Mary was sending her a message down from heaven. I was too choked up at the time to point it out to anyone, but I let Tara know the next day. It was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
Even though it feels like I am worlds apart from this side of my family in many ways—my uncle and aunt were, and still are, hippies in the truest sense (I always say I get my inner-granola from him), it's occasions like these that make you really treasure the family you have, even if you may not be a part of each other's every day lives. I only wish Preston could've been with us to meet this part of his family.
Is your family close or distant, geographically? How often do you get to see your own cousins? I'm grateful that Preston has so many cousins, and family, that live near us, on both sides. It's one of the main reasons we'll probably always live in Chicago, despite how often we fantasize about moving to a warmer climate. Family will always be the thing holding us back; it's a big thing to us, but I know I'll always dream of an easier way of life, one very much like Nic and Tara's.

The bows are tied, the garlands are hung, and the White House is aglow for the holidays. Volunteers from all over the country handled the decorations with care, and on Wednesday, first lady Michelle Obama showed off their efforts to military families. This year's theme is "Joy to All."
Ship Capt. Pete Hall from Louisville, Ky., followed family tradition by helping with the decorations. His grandfather was the chief usher of the White House from 1938 to 1957. "So this is part of my family heritage," Hall says.
Chris Schwartz of Portland, Ore., came to the White House with his partner, a military officer in the Oregon Air National Guard, who felt that the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell opened the door for them to be a part of the annual ritual.
"I've never been to the White House before," Schwartz says, "but to be able to come under these circumstances and under these terms, it's emotionally overwhelming. It really is."
Fifty-four Christmas trees, 90,000 visitors, and a nearly 300-pound gingerbread model of the White House - those are just a few of the figures that make this year's White House holiday season so eye-popping. Volunteers from around the country come to Washington, D.C., every year to help string garlands and hang ornaments through these legendary halls. For the third year running, NPR's Ari Shapiro brings us some of their voices.
KATHY TONNIN: I'm Kathy Tonnin, from New Jersey. I was decorating the Blue Room tree.
ARI SHAPIRO, BYLINE: That's the official White House Christmas tree.
TONNIN: The official White House Christmas tree. And I have a fear of heights, but they were looking for people to go up on the scaffolding. And I thought, I had the opportunity to decorate the Blue Room tree; I'm going. And there I was, for days, on the scaffolding. It was great. It was awesome.
SHAPIRO: And your fear of heights?
TONNIN: Gone.
WES RISCHER: My name is Wes Rischer.
CHRIS SCHWARTZ: I'm Chris Schwartz.
RISCHER: We're from Portland, Oregon.
SHAPIRO: And are you guys friends?
RISCHER: We're partners. I nominated Chris to do this. And I thought, I can finally write the letter because of the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." I'm a military officer in the Oregon Air National Guard.
SHAPIRO: So Chris, let me ask: What does being here mean to you?
SCHWARTZ: I've never been to the White House before, but to be able to come under these circumstances and these terms, it's emotionally overwhelming. It really is.
BILL YOSSES: My name is Bill Yosses. I'm the pastry chef at the White House. This is a gingerbread made from rye flour, whole wheat and buckwheat. The second floor windows are poured sugar that are transparent, and they're lit from behind. Except it's an image that we printed out on a printer, we put sugar on it and then the image stays on the sugar. So it's kind of like stained glass.
PETE HALL: My name is Pete Hall. I'm from Louisville, Kentucky and I'm a ship captain.
SHAPIRO: And how did you end up here decorating the White House for the holidays?
HALL: My grandfather was the chief usher of the White House from 1938-1957. So he was here when they actually gutted this place and took the two floors down. And, you know, the president was living over in the Blair House at the time. And he was also here when they built the Truman balcony. So this is part of my family heritage. And actually I'm here as a surprise. My wife, who's right there, she's the one who set up the thing secretly for my birthday.
LARA HALL: I remember my husband's mother telling me that there was a children's party at the White House and Mamie Eisenhower swung by their home to pick her up because her father, the chief usher was too busy.
SHAPIRO: To pick up his daughter for the children's party, so Mamie Eisenhower gave her a ride?
HALL: So the First Lady did. Yeah.
SIMON: That was Lara Hall and other volunteer White House decorators. The pianist was Master Gunnery Sergeant Robert Bogislaw of the United States Marine Band. We had production help from NPR's Brakkton Booker. This is NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

text:
These guidelines are intended to help authors prepare their contributions for publication. They explain how to organize the text, how to prepare figures and tables, and how to cite references to achieve maximum quality and consistency among chapters in each book and among all books published by APS PRESS.
If you have further questions regarding the organization or content of your manuscript, the editorial style of your chapter, or the formatting of your draft, contact the editor of the volume.
Length and SizeThe editors of the volume will specify the length of each chapter. If the book will be 6 × 9 inches, the image area of each page is 4¼ × 7¼ inches. The image area of a book that is 8½ × 11 inches is 7 × 9½ inches, so please size figures and tables accordingly.
LayoutYou are not responsible for the final look of the chapter, so do not be concerned about fonts, headings left at the bottom of a page, space above headings, etc. Do make sure that the level of each heading is clear (i.e., a level 1 heading looks different from a level 2 heading).
TablesTables must be prepared to fit within the image area of each page. Tables can be narrower than the page but not wider. To keep tables within the proper dimensions, omit columns of data that show no significant variation or that contain only a few values (discuss such data in the text), keep column headings short, use abbreviations if necessary (nonstandard ones can be explained in footnotes to the table), or break complex tables into two or more simpler ones.Cite tables in numerical order in the text.Submit tables together in a file separate from the text file.Designate footnotes with superscript lowercase letters. Do not use ditto marks or vertical rules in tables.If material in a table is not original, include a credit line such as the following:
aSource: Richardson (1997). Used by permission
aSource: Richardson (1997). Used by permission
Note that some publishers require specific wording in credit lines as a condition for granting permission to reprint (see Copyrights and Permissions to Reprint).
If you have constructed the table from information in published work, give the original source credit
aData from Richardson (1997).
aData from Richardson (1997).
If you have modified the table to the extent that it is a new table, use
aAdapted from Richardson (1997).
aAdapted from Richardson (1997).
Instructions for digital images are given below. If you are not able to make high-quality digital images, send high-quality original photos and drawings, which will be returned upon request. Do not send photocopies for reproduction. However, do send numbered photocopies along with originals to aid in identifying figures.
In a composite figure (combining separate illustrations), the illustrations should be similar in contrast, background density, and content; line drawings and photographs should not be combined in a composite. The parts of a composite should be labeled with capital letters (A, B, etc.).
The number and title of the figure should not appear in the figure itself but should be in the caption.
Make the parts of the figure proportional to one another—a large figure with small lettering looks out of proportion and is hard to reduce.
Submit each figure in a separate file separately from the text. Digital image files must be saved in .tif, .eps, or .jpg format for PC or in .tiff, .pict, .jpeg, or .eps format for Macintosh. Photographs must be grayscale and at least 300 dots per inch (dpi). Do not use RGB images; convert them to grayscale. Line drawings and charts must be between 600 and 1200 dpi. It is better to make the figure larger than its final size so that it can be reduced to increase the resolution. APS discourages submission of image files generated with Office programs such as PowerPoint and Excel or images embedded in Office applications, e.g., word-processing documents.
Figure files must be named consistently. Give the chapter number (or the author's name if the number isn't known) and the figure number, as well as the correct extension (e.g., Fig8-1.tif or FigHanson-1.tif)
Cite figures in numerical order in the text.
If a figure is not original, its caption must include a courtesy line or a credit line. For a figure that has not been previously published and has been contributed without restrictions on its use, provide a courtesy line such as the following:
Fig. 1. Wheat kernel diagram. (Courtesy J. J. Doe)
Fig. 1. Wheat kernel diagram. (Courtesy J. J. Doe)
For a figure that has been published elsewhere, provide a credit line such as the following:
Fig. 1. Wheat kernel diagram. (Reprinted, by permission, from Doe and Smith, 2002)
Fig. 1. Wheat kernel diagram. (Reprinted, by permission, from Doe and Smith, 2002)
If you have modified the figure to the extent that it is a new figure, use
Fig. 1. Wheat kernel diagram. (Adapted from Doe and Smith, 2002).
Fig. 1. Wheat kernel diagram. (Adapted from Doe and Smith, 2002).
This book will be published under the copyright of APS. Be sure that one author of your chapter (representing the others, if any) signs the copyright transfer form (entitled "Authorization to Publish"), which accompanies these guidelines, and returns it to the editor with your manuscript.
Anyone other than the author(s) who contributes any original portion of the book (chapter, slide, photo, etc.) must sign the form and describe the appropriate items. Therefore, if original material has been contributed to your chapter by someone else, that person must sign an Authorization to Publish form, which must be included with the manuscript.
If your chapter is in the public domain and not copyrightable—that is, if you are an employee of the U.S. government and it was created as part of your job—check that section of the Authorization to Publish form. Also, the following statement must appear at the bottom of the first page:
This chapter is in the public domain and not copyrightable. It maybe freely reprinted with customary crediting of the source. American Phytopathological Society, 20xx.
This chapter is in the public domain and not copyrightable. It maybe freely reprinted with customary crediting of the source. American Phytopathological Society, 20xx.
If you wish to use previously published material (illustrations, tables, or quotations of 50 words or more), you are responsible for securing permission to do so in writing from both the copyright holder (usually the publisher) and the author of the material. This applies to your own published work as well as to others' work.
An electronic form for requesting permission can be obtained from APS headquarters. The form is designed to be used for obtaining permission from both the author and the original publisher of the material. It may be helpful to write to the author first, because many publishers grant permission to reprint material only if the permission of the author has been obtained. If you choose to use this form, fill in the appropriate items. (Note that some publishers now prefer that permission requests come through their websites.) Submit all permission letters to the editor with your manuscript. Your manuscript is not complete until all necessary permissions have been obtained.
Because it can take a long time to obtain the required letters of permission, request permission as early as possible in the preparation of your manuscript.
No permission from the publisher is required for reproducing material copyrighted by APS or that is in the public domain. As a courtesy, however, request permission from the authors of these materials and give full credit to all sources.
Text should be provided as Word documents in Times. If you have questions on specific points of editorial style, contact the editor. All chapters must be written in English. Use U.S. English spelling (as specified in a Merriam-Webster dictionary), and follow standard English usage.
Avoid specialized jargon and excessive abbreviations. Acronyms and coined abbreviations may be used. At the first use, spell out the term and enclose the abbreviation in parentheses; thereafter use only the abbreviation.
Units of measurement according to the International System of Units (SI, or Systeme Internationale, popularly known as the metric system) are preferred. Use numerals before standard units of measurement (1 g, 9 kg); otherwise use words for numbers one through nine and numerals for numbers 10 and up.
The title should describe the important aspects of the chapter and be as concise as possible.
Give authors' names, titles, affiliations, business addresses, and a contact E-mail address. Include a street address or post office box number for our records, although these will not be given in the book. Include zip codes for locations in the United States and country names for locations outside the United States.
No heading is necessary for an obviously introductory section at the beginning of a chapter. Divide the body of the text into logical sections and subsections, but avoid excessive fragmentation of the text.
Acknowledgments, if any, should be placed at the end of the text.
Be selective rather than inclusive in citing references.
Cite references in the text by authors' surnames and year of publication, e.g., "Epiphytotics of CRSV have occurred recently in Belgium, New Zealand, and Israel (Arnold, 2008)."
List references in alphabetical order by authors' surnames. Be sure that every reference mentioned in your chapter is listed accurately in the Literature Cited section and that each reference is cited in the text. See the BIOSIS List of Serials for accepted abbreviations of journal names and a recent copy of an APS journal for examples of how to format references for various types of publications.
Personal communications and other unpublished work (including work in preparation, work that has been submitted but not accepted for publication, work that has been accepted but not published, and papers presented at meetings but not published) are not published literature and should not be listed in Literature Cited. Refer to such work parenthetically in the text: (R. Jones, unpublished) or (R. Jones, personal communication). Do not use footnotes for this purpose. You must submit with your manuscript written permission from any person cited as the source of unpublished information.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A northern Indiana boy convicted in adult court at age 12 in the killing of a friend's stepfather will get a second chance to be tried in juvenile court after the state's top court refused to hear his case.
A Kosciusko County court sentenced Paul Henry Gingerich in 2010 to 25 years in prison, saying he and two other boys conspired to fatally shoot 49-year-old Phillip Danner in a plot to run away to Arizona.
In December, the Indiana Court of Appeals threw out Gingerich's guilty plea and sentence, saying a juvenile court judge rushed when he waived the case to adult court. The appellate court ordered a new hearing to determine if Gingerich should be retried in a juvenile court.
The Indiana attorney general's office appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing Gingerich had signed a plea agreement and waived his right to appeal his conviction. On Thursday, the state Supreme Court upheld the appellate court's decision.
Gingerich's attorney, Monica Foster, said Gingerich phoned her from prison Friday.
"He's a very, very quiet kid, but he was very happy," she said.
Foster said the next step will be another waiver hearing in juvenile court to decide whether Gingerich should be retried as an adult.
"They'll be looking at it as if he were a 12-year-old," she said. But, she added, his behavior in prison would weigh in his favor.
While the state could ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, Foster doubted the justices would take it up because it involved state law.
Indiana attorney general's office spokesman Bryan Corbin said Gingerich's age at the time of the crime prompted a debate over juveniles' rights, but it was important to remember victims also have rights.
Foster said in a previous court brief that Gingerich's guilty plea was invalid because the case never should have been heard in an adult court, that Gingerich hadn't understood the proceedings and that he had believed the judge was obligated to find him guilty.
Foster said in a brief that the lower court had not allowed Gingerich's attorneys sufficient time to prepare or conduct a proper investigation into his competency for an adult trial, and accepted a probation officer's erroneous testimony concerning the availability of facilities other than prisons for youths convicted of violent crimes.
Gingerich, who is now 15, was one of three juveniles charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the April 2010 shooting at Danner's home near Lake Wawasee, about midway between Fort Wayne and South Bend. Police said Gingerich and a 15-year-old co-defendant shot and killed Danner and that another 12-year-old boy served as a lookout.
The 15-year-old pleaded guilty as an adult and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. The other boy was sentenced to juvenile detention until age 18.

Research Slideshow: Big Bucks For Biz Apps
Large enterprises are spending "mucho dinero" when it comes to key business applications for their employees. These companies spent an average of $363 per employee on various biz apps, according to an exclusive CIO Insight survey of 295 executives responsible for budget decisions at organizations with more than 500 employees. See which apps took the biggest bite of budget pie in 2009. The results are part of our 2010 IT Investment Patterns study, designed and fielded by Ziff Davis Enterprise Research. The IT Investment Patterns study was conducted online between May 5 and June 1, 2010. A total of 695 respondents familiar with their organizations' budgetary and spending levels completed the survey. In addition to the 295 large-enterprise respondents, we also tallied results from 173 mid-sized businesses (50-499 employees). Results from the remaining small businesses, which have 49 employees or fewer, are not included in the study. You'll find the full IT Investment Trends report here.
