U.S. peanut growers need to reduce acreage by 35 percent this year to bring production in line with demand. But that's not likely to happen, says a Georgia peanut broker.
"Nationally, we expect an acreage reduction of about 22 percent," said Richard Barnhill, president, Mazur and Hockman, Inc., Albany, Ga.
Barnhill, speaking via phone to the Oklahoma Peanut Expo in Lone Wolf, Okla., said the Southeast is more likely to cut acreage by 15 percent to 18 percent. "Growers do not have very good alternatives. Also, farmers will try to keep their rotations."
USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates a 400,000-acre reduction for peanuts this year, 1.1 million compared to 1.5 million in 2008.
NASS figures put Texas at 160,000 acres, down from 195,000 last year. Georgia growers should plant 500,000 acres, off from 690,000 last year. Alabama, at 170,000, will be off from 195,000 in 2008.
North Carolina, at 75,000, will be down from 98,000 acres; South Carolina, at 55,000, will be down from 71,000; Virginia, at 12,000, will cut acreage in half from last year's 24,000; Oklahoma, with 15,000 acres anticipated, will be down from 19,000; Mississippi, a relative newcomer to peanut production, will be down to 20,000, off just 2,000 from last year; and New Mexico, at 7,000 acres, will be down 1,000 from 2008.
Tough decisions
"Growers will have some tough decisions at planting time," Barnhill said. "Other commodity prices are off their peaks, too."
He said if peanut acreage is less than 1 million, prices should hold. "If acreage tops 1 million, prices will weaken further."
He said prices for the 2008 crop averaged from the mid-50-cent to the mid-60-cent range. "Now they are down into the low 40s. We have an oversupply of peanuts. A 1 million-ton carry-out from the 2008 crop is 600,000 more than last year."
Production in 2008 was the biggest in four years, 2.5 million farmer stock tons. "Acreage was up and (moisture from) a hurricane in the Southeast came at the right time to produce big yields," Barnhill said.
Demand is about 2 million farmer stock tons: 1.4 million for snacks, peanut butter, and other products; 100,000 for seed; 125,000 for oil; and 425,000 for export.
Supply outlook
Supply looks like this: 2.5 million farmer stock tons from the 2008 crop, a 410,000-ton carry-in, 100,000 tons imported. Total is just over 3 million tons.
"A 1 million-ton carry-out is why no contracts have been available like last year's," Barnhill said. "We have way too many peanuts and the salmonella scare is not helping. The 2.5 million-ton 2008 crop made the market weaker. Supply and demand always works."
He said the impact of salmonella also remains a question. "The issue affects the whole industry." Barnhill said January consumption numbers for peanut products were off. Peanut butter was down more than 8 percent, "the first time we've seen a significant downturn in peanut butter in eight years."
And the worst is yet to come. "February numbers will be worse because they will show the whole market effect of salmonella. It could take up to two more months to calm the issue down — get it out of the media. The plants are closed; the products are off the market. We hope USDA announces that."
Barnhill said the salmonella scare could reduce demand by 100,000 tons, about 5 percent of the reduced demand.
And that's not the only issue facing peanut farmers as they make planting decisions. "China is getting more aggressive for exports in 2009. But a weak U.S. dollar could help U.S. producers compete."
He said Southwest peanuts could have an advantage in export markets because of demand for high oleic and low aflatoxin peanut production. "We also see specific demand for Spanish and Virginia-type peanuts."
Barnhill said the United States needs about 1.5 million tons of farmer stock peanuts in 2009. "A 500,000 to 600,000 ton carry-out is reasonable for a 2.6 million-ton supply. He said a 550,000 ton carry-out allows for crop yield problems.
Because of oversupply and the salmonella issue, "we don't see much activity in the market," Barnhill said.
Oklahoma, with just 15,000 acres planned for 2009, could maintain or increase plantings without significantly affecting the market, Barnhill said. "I'm not certain why acreage is shrinking so much (in Oklahoma)."

Treatment Plan
Managing Eyelid and Periocular Contact Dermatitis
By William L. Miller, OD, MS, PHD, FAAO
Contact dermatitis is a subset of the family of eczematous skin diseases that can affect the periorbital and eyelid skin. The two main categories are allergic and irritative. Its cause(s) can be difficult to ascertain. In some cases, episodic or long-term medical therapy may be warranted, with additional recalcitrant cases necessitating a referral to an oculoplastic ophthalmologist or dermatologist.
Causes of Contact Dermatitis
The eyelid is particularly sensitive given that the skin of the region has only one-quarter the thickness of elsewhere on the body. This allows for easier penetration of allergens, and in some patients may be the only site of involvement (Amin and Belsito, 2006). The two-step process of initiation requires a sensitization followed by a re-exposure that elicits the inflammatory response.
Often the culprits are agents that come into contact with the eyelid skin, most notably certain metals such as nickel along with cosmetics used on the eyelid margin and eyelid skin. In addition, preservatives and surfactants in shampoos can be another common cause. Topical medications such as neomycin and preservatives used in topical ophthalmic drugs (glaucoma), face washes, hand scrubs, and cosmetics may also be implicated. To tease out the actual cause, especially for recurrent or recalcitrant cases, patch testing may be necessary to successfully identify the allergen.
Making a Diagnosis
The hallmark signs and symptoms of dermatitis include red, irritated, and scaly skin with varying levels of pruritis. The affected areas may be patchy or confluent.
First take a thorough history focusing on any changes in the daily routine regarding substances that could have come into contact with the eyelid or periorbital skin. Make sure to ask about hobbies or occupational pursuits. A thorough examination of the area is necessary both macroscopically and with a biomicroscope. Pay particular attention to a patient's upper retracted eyelid, as this can be an ideal spot for dermatitis due to its intertriginous location.
Managing Contact Dermatitis
The first step in managing contact dermatitis is avoiding the offending agent. This may not be possible or known early in the dermatitis cycle. Discourage patients from trying to hide excoriated areas with cosmetic products.
Evaluate what treatment has already been self-initiated to guide your specific management strategy. Emollients, cold compresses, topical antipruritics, and, in some cases, oral antihistamines may help relieve symptoms.
Depending on the initial severity, a two- to four-week course of topical steroids or topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) might be indicated. A low- to mid-potency topical steroid such as betamethasone (q.d., b.i.d.), alclometazone (b.i.d., t.i.d.), or desonide (b.i.d., t.i.d.) can be applied, but be careful of long-term use because of possible side effects.
To avoid side effects, some practitioners prescribe topical medications such as TCIs, which may work well for the thin skin of the eyelid and periorbital areas (Fleischer, 1999; Sengoku et al, 1999). This would include tacrolimus (Protopic ung 0.03% or 0.1%, b.i.d.) and pimecrolimus (Elidel 1% cream, b.i.d.). These medications carry a black box warning for rare malignancies, and should not be used in patients under the age of 2; the 0.03% concentration should not be used in patients 15 and under. CLS

I'm on the cusp of having had surgery 2 months ago (surgery on the 8th of Sept.) and wanted to share a solution I've found to my dry eye delimma. Mind you, I eat healthy, drink lots of water and make carrot juice but none of that really seemed to eliminate the problem. I've been having to put a couple of drops in my eyes every 30 minutes to 1 hour, many times much more often(every 15 or 20 minutes), depending. If I didn't, I'd either feel stinging and/or the "something's stuck in my eye" sensation, oftentimes both.
I would've thought by this time I could've started backing off the drops to maybe once every couple of hours or so but no such luck. Anyway, since I started doing what I do now, I can go for HOURS without putting in a single drop. When I say hours, I'm talking about 4 or 5 hours, sometimes more. Like today for instance, I put one drop in each eye about 7:45 AM and haven't needed to re-wet my eyes yet. It's now 2:36 PM and I haven't even thought about (or had my eyes remind me of) the drops.
Anyway, I'll quit wasting time and tell you what I've been doing. How many of you are familiar with something called Wheatgrass? It's basically a plant (it looks just like regular grass hence the name I suppose) that you can find at certain healthfood stores and supermarkets(you can even grow it yourself, although I personally haven't gone that route). The plant itself is indigestible so I don't recommend eating it raw, however it's commonly consumed by crushing it to obtain the juice(using a juicer), which is what I've been doing. I use a specific kind of juicer called, appropriately enough, a wheatgrass juicer. I consume approximately half an ounce per day(roughly 1 tablespoon or the equivalent of 3 teaspoons).
After using it for about 3 or 4 days, I noticed the stinging went away. I didn't feel like something was stuck in my eye after an hour. I'd found relief! I was truly amazed. I mean, there have been times I would get up in the morning and not even have to use the drops for an hour or so. Then once I would wet my eyes, I'd then find myself forgetting to use the drops for hours on end. I'm befuddled as to why it works so well. I really am. Wheatgrass is purportedly loaded with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids, and while there are certainly a host of other benefits associated with its use, the aim of my post is to offer hope (and a potential solution) for those suffering with this condition. I *strongly* urge all dry eye sufferers to try this treatment as soon as possible. Incidentally, I am extremely interested to hear how others respond to its use.
For the record, I don't sell any products connected with wheatgrass or wheatgrass juicers. I'm just trying to help others who're possibly going through the same thing I was, and I hope this helps at least some of you the way it's helped me so dramatically.

But if you mean 'what caused it' as in... who flipped the switch or ignited the fuse, etc... then... I don't believe that's relevant. All we know is someone did and the bomb did go off. The meat is in why Yasu (if it was her) set it up that way...
They'd probably call it an accident if they couldn't find any evidence of foul play. They'd chalk it up to some unexploded ordinance from WW2 finally going off or becoming unstable.
Quantification and aging of the post-blast residue of TNT landmines.
http://www.mirthegreat.com/temp/umineko/explosion.jpg <-- this picture though shows a big round circle though. Is it from the anime? By the way, the way it's drawn, it looks like Toraian is right at the center... However, I have to protest that an island is very different from the desert. There's 100% more soil around your blast area in the desert, whereas the surrounding area to the island is... air.
Anyways, Ripple Rock is my example of setting charges smartly rather than somehow consolidating 900T of TNT in one spot and just hoping it blows up the way you want. (Which as you've shown, won't.) And the result is to shear a mountain, a mass larger than Rokkenjima, so there's still plenty of TNT left to play with after... for things that you really do want to vaporize and blow up...
I gotta imagine someone surreptitiously asked some demolitions experts on how to do things... say, a mercenary group called the Yamainu.... :3

Certainly you can't tell me that this could be reached without any reasoning or without the 1998 perspective. If he was expecting this it means he was expecting that we reasoned even about that part.
Then he should have expected that we speculated even on what actually caused that tragic event, and he should have expected that we were expecting an answer.

Additionally I'm not sure that we can confirm that Beatrice actually planned that explosion.
As you said if this is what happened the only way it could be known as an explosion is if the police actually noticed the TNT residue and made it public.
Then how come it was considered an accident?
Kylon, you said it yourself. You'd need tunnels all around the place and you'd need explosives set in strategic points. Something like what you suggest can't possibly happen "naturally" or by "chance". And yet it is obvious that the official explanation is that no one is responsible, it's just an accident, it's not a crime.
It doesn't match.
Even if you suggest the official explanation is that the japanese military during the war created that system as a way to self-destruct the island (which I fail to see it plausible), the public opinion would still consider the Japanese military and the government responsible for such a blunder.
Well to be honest... I exaggerated a bit... considering the distance between the Mansion and the Kuwadorian is 2km. the crater should be a little smaller than that, but I think it gives the general idea.
Anyway I'm aware that rocks and desert do not work in the same way and that rock blow more nicely than sand.
But that still doesn't explain the huge disparity between 104 kilotons and 0,9 kilotons.

If I understood correctly, Yasu didn't actually kill anyone, did she? After all, she only killed people in the message bottle stories, but not in reality. She blamed herself because her actions have unwittingly led to a bigger crime.

After all, if we believe Kinzo, then Rokkenjimma was a base not only for submarines, but for the special torpedo that could blow an aircraft career in one blow as well, in other words: japanese last secret weapons. Imagine that the american discover about these, Japanese would not have any chances anymore with their enemies knowing about all of their armory. And imagine if the American discover about these and decide to launch an attack on the island, the damage they could cause to the marines? And I don't think that japanese would consider their government as responsible. What you say is the same as saying that the actual government would be blamed in Germany if we found a trench full of jews bodies.

Also, this is the event that kills Battler at the end oF EP4 and was the last mystery of Beatrice.
Also, Jan Poo's argument and my argument aren't really arguments that contradict each other. If fact we aren't providing arguments. I am discussing how the mundane matters of Rokkenjima Prime, the unconnected ones, do not ultimately matter in the story. Jan Poo is discussing how some of the answers Ryukishi have hinted thus far have not been answered.
You're not butting in, and everyone is welcome to talk on this message board, that's for sure. But at the same time, dreamed up contradictions shouldn't give rise to "prima facie defective" calls to stop listening to others.

Yeah dudes, it all makes sense now. Fucking lasers and shit.
And after Asumu faked her death she became part of the Strategic Defense Initiative developing space weapons. Rokkenjima was just a test site for WOLVES. Asumu used the space-based systems to blow up the island.
This is the truth of Rokkenjima Prime.
Asumu Beam

In addition, we also know:
Then, finally:
This is when the best showed it's true purpose, it merged with Kuwadorian became a giant mecha of destruction, much like Ideon, bringing the Spiral Nemesis on Rokkenjima, but, at the same time, protecting the innocent - Eva and Battler, from this apocalypse.
How is it? Do you like it?

Why fix what's not broken? Without this then we wouldn't have a story. This is why the the game exist; to know your family tree or else Kinzo will talk you into Madness which will in turn have you give birth to Leonidas to whom you you can't call grandson or son b/c s/he is in love with their cousins/Nieces/Nephews due to their mental disorder. You know where this is going...

Beauty, utility, method, and energy
While browsing through an old book, 300 Things a Bright Girl Can Do, I came across an interesting quotation. But before I share it, I'll swing a broad brush and paint a very rough picture of the United States 110 years ago, about the time that the book was written and published.
- America had just concluded the Spanish American War. Teddy Roosevelt and the Roughriders were war heroes. Now Teddy Roosevelt was talking about a canal through the Isthmus of Panama.
- The population of the United States was growing rapidly through immigration, especially from Europe. Ellis Island was one of the main entry points.
- The Hull House in Chicago was teaching immigrants, organizing children's clubs, and holding free lectures and concerts.
- Homesteaders were still staking their claims on designated public lands in the western states.
- Automobiles had recently been invented, and Wilbur and Orville Wright were working on an airplane. The pneumatic hammer, gas and steam turbines, radio, and the Brownie camera were all brand-new wonders.
- Monopolies in steel, the railroads, and other industries were under attack. The government's weapon was the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
- Factory and mine workers, expected to perform like machines, were organizing into unions and striking for better wages and working conditions.
Now, here are the sentences that caught my attention. Writer Lilla Elizabeth Kelley is describing changes in turn of the century America (1900 A.D.) to an unseen audience of "bright girls". Kelley connects several diverse conditions, concepts, and changes in American culture -- the labor movement, immigration, American exceptionalism, inventiveness, a recognition of the need for beauty, a respect for craftsmen -- all within a few, high-minded sentences.
A love and desire for the beautiful, like a great wave, is sweeping over the country. The time has come for all workers to unite beauty and utility, and the people of the United States are peculiarly fitted to do this.
From Europe many of the best craftsmen have come, seeking homes and opportunities in the new world. The fusion of European methods and American energy, ambition, and quickness of perception must develop art and originality, taking the sordidness from labor, and making the ideal practical.
Quoted from: 300 Things a Bright Girl Can Do (p.369) by Lilla Elizabeth Kelley, published in Boston by Dana Estes & Company, 1903.

You have learned so much from teaching mathematics-about mathematics, about students, about yourself as a teacher. Are you ready to take the next step as a mathematics teacher? Can you picture yourself becoming a leader of mathematics teachers? If so, challenge yourself by enrolling in the Master of Arts in Education (MAEd) in Mathematics Education.
The MAEd in Mathematics Education has something for the mathematics teacher at any level. Participants choose to concentrate at the elementary, middle grades, or high school level. Regardless of the level, students take mathematics courses for that concentration level as well as courses beyond the concentration level. Elementary and middle grades mathematics programs are offered in a totally distance education format. The high school concentration is offered in conjunction with the Department of Mathematics and although the mathematics courses are offered on campus, all other course work is done online.
The 36-hour MAEd is typically completed in two years by part-time graduate students who are full-time teachers. Faculty work hard to help students develop into a professional network of mathematics educators and many graduates use the master's degree work as a springboard to National Board Certification. Specific mathematics education courses are offered online during the academic year while MAEd students are teaching. This allows participants to use their classroom as a laboratory for testing ideas, piloting assessment items, and performing action research.

DIMSA Project
Principal Investigator: Michael Frietas
Funding Agency: TBD
Duration: October 2005 - December 2005
The DIMSA (Data Intensive Mass Spect Analysis) project aims to automate the process of Mass Spect data analysis pipeline, which is an integral part of the proteomics research. The DIMSA project includes all steps of the MS/MS analysis pipeline: input file conversion, database searching, output file conversion and integrative analysis of the result. XML-based, the DIMSA project is easily extensible to additional search engines and analysis modules.
A prototype of the pipeline is currently under implementation. This will have all the primitive components of the pipeline. It will include:
- Input user interface – for input parameter selection, data file upload, and submission of the searching jobs.
- Output user interface – for displaying the results from several search engines. The first page should present a comprehensive look of the results, which could be a table that lists all the protein hits in the first column, and then check marks for those that are hit by an individual search engine in the following columns. Clicking on each program name will give the result returned by that program. moving the mouse over a check mark will pop up a window that shows the matching score of the protein hit by a specific program. Clicking on a protein hit will give the results of that protein by all the programs.
- Database searching – in the first stage, only the command line programs X!Tandem and Omssa will be implemented in the pipeline. Mascot will be incorporated later.

It is possible that the main title of the report Blepharospasm, Benign Essential is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) is a rare neurological disorder in which affected individuals experience involuntary muscle spasms and contractions of the muscles around the eyes. These spasms come and go (intermittent). Symptoms may begin as eye twitching, blinking and/or irritation. Eventually, BEB causes involuntary closure of the eyes. The exact cause of BEB is unknown. The disorder is one of a group of disorders collectively known as dystonia.
Dystonia is a group of movement disorders that vary in their symptoms, causes, progression, and treatments. This group of neurological conditions is generally characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that force the body into abnormal, sometimes painful, movements and positions (postures).

DEDHAM, Mass. – A week after coming up just a few points short of Williams College at the New England Division III Championship, the No. 23 ranked MIT men's track and field team exacted a measure of revenge at the All-New England Championship over the weekend. The Engineers finished sixth overall, best among Division III squads and two spots ahead of the Ephs, competing against the top teams in the region from across Divisions I, II and III.
Yermie Cohen had a tremendous performance in the 1500, finishing third overall and tops among Division III runners while setting a new MIT record. Cohen's time of 3:48.40 is good enough to automatically qualify him for the NCAA Championship and stands alone atop Division III in 2010.
Paul Welle also finished strong in the 3000-meter Steeplechase, as the junior was the second overall finisher and improved his NCAA qualifying time, moving up to no. 7 in the country with a 9:12.22 mark.
Patrick Marx was the top Division III finisher at 800 meters just over a second and a half behind the winner with a time of 1:53.67, good for sixth overall. Brian Djaja had a personal best time of 15.21 in the 110-meter hurdles to finish in 12th place, third among Division III competitors.
In the field events, Vladimir Sobes had an NCAA provisional mark in the javelin with a 197-08 foot effort to finish in fourth place. Greg Tao was among three pole vaulters to clear 15-2.75 feet, taking second based on attempts. Cyrus Vafadari (fifth) and Nathan Peterson (seventh) both had vaults of 14-2.75 feet to score valuable points for the Cardinal and Gray.
MIT will travel to Springfield College next week to compete in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship on Thursday and Friday, May 13 and 14.

The first half is in the books and the Waynesboro Maidens' focus is narrowing on a post-season berth.
WAYNESBORO — The first half is in the books and the Waynesboro Maidens' focus is narrowing on a post-season berth.
But first, they'll have to iron out some wrinkles, even after a 3-1 victory against James Buchanan in a Mid-Penn Capital Division match inside the Waynesboro Area Senior High School gym.
"We were sharp the first set," said Waynesboro coach Kim Saunders after her team's 25-9, 24-26, 25-16, 25-13 win against the Rockets. "However, we have to hold that killer instinct throughout. We need to keep our opponents down for the duration."
Hannah Kauffman celebrated her birthday in style, leading Waynesboro at the net with 20 kills. Rachel Eyler and Zoe Harris contributed with nine kills apiece and Megan Biesecker had 30 set assists. Sierra Davies spearheaded the back line with 26 digs.
"Hannah played an aggressive match," Saunders said. "She regained her leadership form and was working as a thoroughbred should."
The initial District 3-AAA power ratings were released on Tuesday and the Maidens are on the outside looking in. That was not lost on the team, which shook off a lackluster second set to put away the match in four sets.
"The rankings are out and we're not where we want to be," said Saunders, whose team is 22nd in the district. The top 20 teams qualify for the playoffs. "We have to regroup and push forward in the second half of the season."
It starts Thursday against Big Spring at home. Then, Waynesboro plays six of its final nine matches on the road.
The Maidens looked like they were going to make this match a quick one as they rolled to a 25-9 win in the first set. Waynesboro was dominant at the net and were keeping the ball in play with successful digs and picture-perfect sets by Biesecker.
The Maidens got out to a 3-0 lead and never really looked back. The lead stretched to 11-2 after kills by Lynnae Stine and Kauffman. Waynesboro went on to win easily, punctuated aptly with a kill by Kauffman.
The magic wore off in the second set though. The Maidens struggled on defense and communication as the Rockets scored some easy points and asserted themselves at the net with much more success than the first set.
Waynesboro led 16-10 on a kill by Eyler, but James Buchanan chipped away. The Maidens couldn't finish after taking a 23-19 lead with JB breaking a 24-all tie with the final two points to avert a potential sweep.
"Defensively, we got passive," Saunders said. "Next time out, all balls must be aggressively contested. We start the second half of the season Thursday. It's time to refocus and rededicate ourselves to the fundamentals and discipline that we are capable of."
To its credit, Waynesboro refocused in the third set and overcame its biggest opponent in the match — themselves. After taking a semi-commanding lead of 9-3, the Maidens watched almost helplessly as the Rockets made a game out of it, scoring seven of the next 10 points to make it 13-10.
Leading 14-11, Waynesboro scored six straight points with Davies on serve to take a 20-11 lead. JB closed to 21-16, prompting a Maiden time out. After the time out, Waynesboro scored the final four points, culminating in a cross-court kill by Harris and back-to-back kills by Kauffman.
In what proved to be the final set, the Maidens went on a 7-1 run and never looked back en route to a 25-13 win. Waynesboro called time out after giving up four straight points after taking a 23-9 lead. Like the previous set, the Maidens closed out the scoring with consecutive points as Eyler had the honors of scoring the match point.
Waynesboro won the junior varsity match 25-23, 26-24. Ciara Rosenberger had six kills and Kendra Kauffman had four service aces.
NOTES: Waynesboro assistant coach Mark Hollen was with the team for the first time this season after experiencing health issues prior to the start of the regular season. Hollen attended last Tuesday's home match against Greencastle-Antrim but stayed just briefly. . . Other Mid-Penn Conference teams ranked in the AAA power ratings were Gettysburg (3rd), Cumberland Valley (5th), Lower Dauphin (12th), Central Dauphin (13th), Carlisle (17th) and Chambersburg (18th). Hempfield is ranked No. 1. . .

Article Summary: This article is designed to provide steps to force Active Directory (AD) replication of a single object using Windows PowerShell
This information would be useful in a situation where an AD object was deleted, placed in the AD Recycle Bin and subsequently restored. It would be prudent to force replication to all domain controllers (DC) in the environment after the restoration of the AD object. Follow the steps in the solution to achieve this goal.
Force replication to all DC's immediately after the AD user object Megan Wendt is restored from the AD Recycle Bin after accidental deletion.
a. Press Windows Logo, type Windows PowerShell, right-click on Windows PowerShell and click Run as administrator to open Windows PowerShell.
b. Type Get-ADDomainController -filter * | foreach {Sync-ADObject -Object "cn=Megan Wendt,cn=users,dc=vdomain,dc=local" -source w2k12r2-vdc.domain.local -Destination $_.hostname} and press Enter to force replication to all domain controllers.
This information applies to Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

We can talk till our face turns blue about the new features in Madden '09, waxing poetic about online leagues, new player models, and the holographic John Madden that haunts us in our sleep, but there's one facet of information that Madden fans covet more than any other in the months before the game's release: Ratings.
No more. Starting today, we'll be releasing final ratings for each team in the game, one division at a time. We'll be starting with the AFC East today, adding one division per day until all the teams have been unlocked. Check back to this page each day for a new division.

Serial Reader
This topic has come up a few times for me recently so I thought I'd open it up for discussion. If you're about to start reading an author who writes a series, how important is it for you to start at the beginning? If you're a reader who has been reading that series from the start, how much backstory do you want the author to include to fill in those who don't read in order?
My husband was reading Jim Butcher's latest Dresden Files adventure, Changes. It was the first one he'd sampled but 12th in the series. He said, "I wish Butcher had included more details on past events so I'd have a better understanding of what's going on." I said, "Well, if you're curious, you can always go back and read the other ones. At least he didn't spoil them for you."
See, we're not sticklers about starting with book one. What if the author doesn't hit his/her stride until book 8? You might stop reading after the third one and miss out on a masterpiece. I know writers who'd prefer you don't judge their series by the first book, like actors who try to steer you away from their very first gig in Children of the Corn: Impaled on the Cob. I've also known readers who quit a series too soon and no nagging on my part could get them to hang on for the breakthrough book.
Now, I'm not talking about a finite series with serialized plots heading towards an ending that's already been planned out. If anyone ever advises you to start the Harry Potter series with Goblet of Fire or the Millenium trilogy with The Girl Who Played with Fire, just slap them hard. It's like saying you should watch the Star Wars movies by starting with The Empire Strikes Back. You'd be sitting there, thinking, "What is a Muppet doing in here and why does Luke keep hearing some old dead guy in his head?" No, I'm only discussing series with self-contained installments here.
And let me be clear that I'm not against reading in chronological order. I've often done so and am all for it if that option is available/feasible to you. The experience will be richer if you know all the backstory before embarking on a new adventure. Which brings me to the second question in my opening paragraph: How much background is needed in each subsequent book?
When I've been following a series from the start, I sometimes get impatient as it progresses because the author has to include details from past books so new readers don't feel lost. Depending on how well the writer incorporates those threads, I find myself skipping passages, thinking, "I know that already. Get on with the current story!" I'm also averse to TMI if I jump in mid-series: "The dead guy in the last book wasn't really dead? Guess I won't be reading it now." It's like I said to my husband: New readers can research the backstory on their own.
Do you ever feel this way? Am I being Grumpy McBitchy? What are your preferences when reading a series?

I'm definitely a serial reader. I want to start from the first book and work up from there. And while I do appreciate the author summarizing in later books, especially if it's a long series b/c I may have forgotten some bits, I hate when they drag out the "previously on…" bit.
I use to be obsessive about reading a series in order. Since I started blogging, though, I don't always have the luxury of going back to start at the beginning. So, I think the best serial writers write so that they don't have to include a bunch of back story for you to understand the present story, but if you have read the previous books you recognize characters, events, etc, and maybe get a little more out of the present book.
I love Linda Fairstein but that's always been an irritant with me in her earlier books. I don't think I've noticed her doing it quite as much in the later books. But when I started the Alex Cooper series the first books all re-tell Alex's story about her fiance dying. After I read it the first time, I didn't need or want to read it several more times…and like you I just wanted to skip ahead.
On the flip side, Robert Crais often sneaks in minor characters who played parts in earlier books. You don't need to know they were in earlier books at all. Their roles are completely self-contained within the new book and you don't lose anything not knowing, but you might get a chuckle or a smile or a knowing nod if you do know.
Unless you purposely have a story arc crossing multiple books, you shouldn't NEED backstory to understand the present story. If you have a multiple book story arc, then assume your reader is going to read them in order and don't weigh the following stories down with repetition…if you do that each book will be a third longer just so the author can repeat info, and I also don't want to pay extra for those pages I don't need!
My preference is still to read a series in order from beginning to end, but I'm no longer so obsessive about it.
For the most part I like going in order if a new author has been recommended me by someone I trust. I came late to the Michael Connelly, Harlin Cobin, Lee Child, Dennis Lehane, G.M. Ford (among others) trough, so I have read them in the order they were printed and been happy with them. On the other hand, I read Patricia Cornwell's first two books and will probably never read another one of hers. I like Robert K. Tanenbaum's (I mean Michael Gruber's) Karp and Ciampi series, but I started in the middle. Had I started from the beginning, the first few books wouldn't have kept my interest.
I read the second book in W.E.B. Griffin's Presidential Agent Series not knowing that there was an earlier book. Unfortunately, for no good reason, he rehashed the ENTIRE plot of the first book in great detail. I eventually read the first book, but I knew everything that happened ahead of time.
I think that good authors writing a series can find a way to give background to new readers in a way that teases them to go back and read earlier works without spoiling it for them.
Maybe authors should add an appendix with summaries of earlier books that new readers can reference before they start the current book, or regular readers can check out to refresh their memories.
Not important; it's unlikely I'll read more than one book in a series. Actually, I tend to take a dive somewhere in the middle, figuring the first couple of books were probably setting the scene for what's to come.
Serial reader here, too! While I might not have a problem starting a series "late" in publication, it's just that I'd rather start at the very beginning.
For me it depends on the series….there are quite a few (as you mentioned) that you simply must read in order…otherwise they make absolutely no sense. There are others that you don't lose anything (or at least anything that you are aware of) by starting at a different point. For example, James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series, can definitely me read at any point. Also, Nancy Atherton's Aunt Dimity series, the only one I read was book 12 or 14 (somewhere along the way) without even realizing it was that far into a series and I was perfectly content!
I began the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child with One Shot. I liked it enough to go back to the first one in the series and have remained an avid follower. Child gives the reader a little more of Reacher's history each time and though he does do a bit of recap, it is never enough to bother me. This is probably why I remain such a fan.
The Parker series by Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake) is another series I am a little crazy about. As with Child, I read one and was hooked enough to pick up the rest. Each one of the Parker installments are pretty much stand alones. Except for one, which still infuriates me. I just happened to pick up Dirty Money from the library one day. I read a few pages and was hooked right away by the lean writing. I had no idea of how many rabid fans there were. The old lady at the counter who checked the book out for me almost didn't let me take it.
"Where did you find this?!?!", she said.
I felt like my 5-year old self who had once peed my pants in school.
"Uh, over in the New section."
"Just make sure you return it on time. And you make sure you use a bookmark!"
She glared at me all the way out the door. Really. I looked back and she was glaring. I think she even muttered a curse or two.
Loved the read and immediately went back to the library to read the rest of the series. Since then I have read them all except for a few.
But the one I still search for is Ask The Parrot. Nobody Runs Forever ends with Parker heading into the woods to evade the cops on his tail. Ask The Parrot is the story about what happens while he's in the woods. CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE. I live in a city with three libraries. They each list a copy in their databases. EACH ONE HAS BEEN STOLEN!! When I ask at used book stores if they have it, they laugh at me like I just requested the Holy Grail!
I continue to search.
My name is Patti & I am a serial reader :). It's important to me to start at the beginning. I also like having a whole series to look forward to if I've come late to the party. But like Jen, I occasionally am sent books for review that I have to read out of order, and I can make that work :).
I'm a real stickler for reading series in order. I also read the Sunday paper in order 😉
I tend to find a "new" author when browsing the libray or poking around on a blog, then I read everything I can get my hands on if I enjoyed the first book. I read everything out of sequence, and it can be fun to find out the pre-story after reading about some character or incident. But then, I read magazines from the back forward, so maybe it's my own personal character flaw.
I'm in Christine's camp – too anal to read things out of order, but it happens on the rare occasion. In fact, used to be an AR hoarder and wouldn't read the most recent book til the next installment came out. You laugh, but what I wouldn't give to have one more Spenser novel sitting on my shelf waiting.
Altadenahiker – why do you not read more than one book in a series? Too many, too little time? Very interesting.
As I told PCN earlier, my horrific memory means that a little backstory doesn't bother me, so long as it's not over-done. And if I didn't read in order, I couldn't really bitch about the giveaway of prior plot points if they were events that truly impacted a main character and his/her development.
This is a great discussion, and, as a writer with a series (and next year a standalone) one I am extremely interested in.
The reason my publisher wanted to go for a standalone is that with a series it becomes harder and harder to gain new readers unless something fluky happens. So the thought is the standalone with widen the reach, and bring new readers to me.
Now, looking at series from the writer's pov, at least mine, I write each book so they can hopefully stand on their own. I seed in an info that's needed from previous stories so new readers don't get lost. But also there is a much larger arc that continues from book to book that people who read from the beginning will also enjoy (but will hopefully not distract from new readers jumping in on a later book.)
As a reader, I don't mind picking up a book in the middle of a series. If I like it, there's a good chance I'll go back and start at the beginning. If I don't, no time lost.
I much prefer reading series in order if possible. Until I really got into reading mysteries, it wasn't that big a deal. There are times I can't wait and will read the book anyway. The anxiety level can get pretty intense. Lol! Otherwise, the library is my first choice to look for the earlier books. Ft Worth has plenty of those and there are ummmm…3 library cards in my possession. If not on the bookshelves there's always interlibrary loans. Also retail and used bookstores. Have been known to hit quite a few in one day if desperate enough. The down side of reading in order is finding the novels. The pros? It's like meeting a new friend/friends and learning about them. Good friendships are cherished and taking time to know them well worth it.
Got you beat. I have 4 library cards. The city where I live. The city where I work, my employee badge (I work at a college), and one for the State of Louisiana Library.
I'm pretty much a serial reader. Especially if a series can carry a momentum with characters and story-line (cough… Robert Crais… cough). I have been known to come in on series in the middle somewhere because of 1) availability, and 2) I have enough of an idea about it that I don't think it has the qualities I stated above. Meaning, I'm curious about it, but know enough that I'll get to scratch that itch (and will be done with it). Unfortunately, in those cases, I haven't been surprised. Thanks for the post, PCN. A lot of interesting and though-provoking comments here.
I'm late to the party, as usual. You summed it all up for me, PCN: If I think I'm going to enjoy a series, I want to begin at the beginning. If I'm mildly curious then I'll jump in with whatever is at hand, figuring if it turns out to be better than I expect then I can always return to the beginning.
I only ever read past the first two Spenser books because the series was so popular. I've read The Godwulf Manuscript twice and I still don't get how anyone thought that was going to be the springboard for a great series. Just shows what I (don't) know. But once past those first two books, Parker hit his stride, and I'm glad I kept reading.
Something I'd like to know: Do you ever get into a series and then, maybe at book 7 or 15 or whatever, just say you're done with it? Either the author is offering nothing new or has written a book so out of whack with everything that went before that you just can't face reading more?
Wow, this is a popular topic, PCN!! It's a while since I've read a series {not counting the Millenium trilogy which I'm just starting and obviously with the first!}. Hypothetically speaking, I would prefer to start at the beginning but I could look myself in the mirror if I had to leap in part-way through. If that was the case, I suspect that unless something really intriguing from an earlier book was referred to and made me curious, I'd be inclined to continue on in chronological order from there and skip the predecessors altogether ~ or just go back to them once caught up to wherever the series currently ended {assuming my PCN Recommended Reading List had actually been reduced to zero by then!}

Creatures of the Night [COTN™]
I am proud to leak the news of my new line of urban inspired camouflage to honor creatures of the night. The design was a happy accident [gosh i love design process!], a result of developing the "have a grey-t day" line of cool grey nookas exploring images of "grey/urban animals" – pigeons, rats, mice, bats and cats. The resulting camo pattern was to be produced only in shades of grey, but the custom pattern we created is just too good to limit to just one color!
We are proud to present COTN™ camo in:
Urban Jungle Grey
Balmy Army Green
Crooklyn Remix
The face is the Nooka Zen-H, stainless steel case back, PU band with butterfly closure, mineral crystal, 5ATM waterproof, and EL backlight. $250 US [but don't quote me on that] available in January 2008.

Wow! I just bought a green one. At a first glance it appears to be a simple camo concept, then upon a closer look, the creatures of the night come alive!
Oh man, if you could make the animals with glow in the dark material! At night they would come alive! RAD!

Editorial: NY Kinship care programs in critical need of help
Published: 2:00 AM – 03/24/13 in recordonline.com
"There is a quiet, enduring strength about the grandparents, aunts and uncles who suddenly find themselves raising children who aren't their own. The kinship parenting trend they are a critical part of has grown to substantial proportions — and it has done so largely off the radar.
One of every 11 children in New York state will be raised at some point during their developmental years by someone who is not their parent. In Orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties, there are 6,500 adults raising someone else's kids. Most of them are grandparents or other close relatives.
Circumstances ranging from the death of a parent to addiction or physical abuse are among the reasons why parents are no longer able — physically, psychologically or legally — to raise their sons and daughters. But the newest factor to accelerate the trend appears to be the sluggish economy.
Public funding for programs that support kinship parenting is dwindling.
The official who heads the statewide organization, Kinship Care Navigator, which provides information, support and referral services for relatives acting as parents, says many local programs have fallen victim to decreased government funding — even as the need for such programs as the Relatives As Parents Program increases. Jerry Wallace notes that at one point, there were more than 100 programs such as those in Orange and Ulster counties throughout the state.
Today, Wallace says, less than 10 have a chance of continuing.
The funding needs go well beyond the monthly compensation some receive for basic foster child care. Also critical are programs that help these new guardians navigate a full spectrum of difficult, life-changing issues — particularly for those who have never raised children of their own.
This is a complex playing field. Attempting to find your way through the maze of legal, health, financial and educational issues facing kinship parents is overwhelming.
And what about the emotional issues for both the children and the nontraditional parents?
About 60 percent of these nonparents are grandparents. They are not likely to be well equipped to understand the cultural, psychological and social dynamics that drive the lives of their grandchildren. Same for the children in reverse. They need help. They need to connect with others facing the same challenges. They need coping tools. They need access to the professional and peer-to-peer advice programs that RAPP and others provide."
While these programs have had multiple funding sources during the years, many of those sources have ceased or reduced funding. Orange County RAPP, for example, is funded by various sources, but when a funding source backs out, others historically have followed. And this September, it is expected to lose its state funding. When that happens, RAPP will no longer be able to offer legal consultations or mental health services for caregivers under 55 years old (those 55 and older are covered under an Office for the Aging grant).
These programs need the support of local foundations and charitable groups during an era when state funding grows more scarce."

— Sylvia Fowles had 26 points and 11 rebounds as the Chicago Sky beat the Sun 92-80 Thursday night.
The Sun's Tim Charles came into the game with six consecutive double-doubles, one shy of the WNBA record, but was limited to five points and six rebounds
"I thought Sylvia played great against her tonight," said Sun coach Mike Thibault.
The Sky (7-9) were 19-for-28 from the field in the first half, a franchise record, and led 53-29 at the break. They hit 6 of 10 three-point shots in the half.
"It didn't matter what defense we were in," Thibault said.
The Sun rallied in the third quarter, outscoring the Sky 28-13 as Sandrine Gruda, Asjha Jones and Kara Lawson combined for 22 points.
Lawson hit a 38-foot three-pointer at the end of the quarter,
The Sun cut their deficit to eight with 3:51 to play, but Fowles scored six points in the next 2:21 to put the game away.
Gruda led the Sun (10-6) with 17 points and Jones scored 16.
"They were really good early and we were really bad," Thibault said.

We predicted Boost Mobile could be getting Android phones back in July and new information is making it more believable. BGR just received some new photos of the Motorola Opus One, which they report is an iDEN handset. Boost Mobile (a division of Sprint Nextel) is one of the few carriers that still utilizes the iDEN technology. Virtually all of the handsets that Boost Mobile offers are manufactured by Motorola.
During a recent earnings call, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said:
"In iDEN we will continue to refresh the portfolio, which will also include Android-based devices. We continue to have pretty good traction with iDEN and with the recent renewed focus from Sprint on prepaid, we have a pretty good market share with Sprint in prepaid and we're improving our relationships with not just Sprint, but every single North American carrier across the portfolio."
This could be a huge boost for Android because it would mark the first time in the United States that a prepaid carrier offers an Android phones. Boost Mobile became relevant in early 2009 when they offered a $50 unlimited everything plan which resulted in 674,000 customers additions that quarter.
