Editing Batches of Photos Easily on Linux
Akkana Peck introduces David's Batch Processor, a Gimp plugin that makes editing big batches of photos a breeze. Resize them for the Web, make them lighter or darker, crop, rotate-- DBP does it all.
Do you take a lot of photos over the holidays? I know I do, what with getting together with family and friends.
And then you get back home, pick the best 50 or so -- and face the problem of how to get them all ready to share on the web. Not to mention all those photos you shot of the neighbor's Christmas lights that came out too dark ... how do you brighten those all up at once?
If you're good with the command line and shell scripts, you may already be familiar with ImageMagick, covered in these previous Linux Planet articles: Building Attractive Web Photo Galleries and Writing a Simple Web Gallery.
But not everyone is a command-line whiz. If you're more comfortable with menus and buttons, don't give up hope. There's a GIMP plug-in that's perfect for you: David's Batch Processor, or DBP.
Installing DBP
In Ubuntu or Debian, all you have to do is install the gimp-plugin-registry package, which also includes a whole slew of other useful GIMP plug-ins.
In most other distros, you'll need to build DBP from source. Go to the David's Batch Processor home page and download the latest .tar.gz file, currently 1.1.9. Make sure you have the gimp-devel or gimp-dev package installed (which includes the gimptool program), as well as any packages like g++ and make that you need for building C++ packages.
Unpack the tarball, build and install it:
$ tar xvf dbpSrc-1-1-9.tgz
$ cd dbp-1.1.9
$ make install
You should end up with a file called dbp in your ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins directory.
If you get errors, make sure you really have the GIMP development package installed, as well as build tools.
Running DBP
Bring up the main DBP dialog with Filters->Batch Process... (Figure 1).
Of course, the first thing to do is Add Files. In the file selector that pops up, you can use Shift-Click to choose a range of images (or all of them), Control-Click to toggle one file on and off. There's no preview, so you're probably best off choosing your image list before starting DBP.
How turn your attention to the tabs in the DBP dialog. You can choose from operations like Turn (rotate multiples of 90 degrees), Blur, Colour, Resize (scale), Crop, Sharpen, and Rename. In each tab, clicking Enable lets you apply that operation to every photo in the list.
Suppose you just want to scale your images smaller to share on the web. The Resize tab (Figure 2) gives you a choice of Relative -- say, make the images 1/4 their current size -- or Absolute, if you know the size you want, like 640x480.
You can combine operations: for instance, you can brighten (in the Colour tab), Resize and Sharpen all at the same time. So choose all the operations you want. The tabs are handled in order, so if you Turn by 90 degrees, you might want to make that Resize 480x640 instead of 640x480.

The real Ichabod Washburn worked his way from indentured apprentice to captain of industry. The businessman was also a fervent Congregationalist, abolitionist and philanthropist to believe in the rights of all people to an education.
Washburn was born in Kingston, Mass. on Aug. 11, 1798 to a sea captain (Ichabod Washburn, Sr.) and homemaker (Sylvia Bradford Washburn) whose ancestors were passengers on the Mayflower. Because his father died when he was an infant and his mother couldn't provide for him, his twin brother, Charles, and his older sister, Pamelia, young Washburn was sent to be an apprentice before the age of 9. He first learned to make leather horse harnesses in Duxbury, Mass. Later he apprenticed with blacksmiths in Leicester and Auburn, Mass.
His final apprenticeship concluded on his 20th birthday. Washburn then set out on his own making ploughs and then moving to Worcester to work alongside a machine-making blacksmith. There he made lead pipe and later woolen machines. He bought out his partner in that venture, William H. Howard, and went to work for himself for the second time. A few years passed before he found his true mechanical niche: wire.
By the time he was 33, in 1831, Washburn had developed a machine and technique that improved the quality of wire and increased the efficiency of its production. Ultimately, the innovation would lead to his fortune.
His advancements in wire led some to call him a father of the industry. His company, Washburn and Moen Wire Works, included his twin brother Charles and then his son-in-law Philip Moen and nephew Charles Francis as partners. For a time, it was the largest wire producer in the world. In 1847 Washburn developed a process to make stronger piano wire and crinoline wire more quickly and was the only domestic producer of piano wire. Crinoline wire quickly became an affordable alternative to whale bone in hoop skirts, which peaked in popularity during the 1850s and '60s. Washburn and Moen later secured a patent for and mass produced barbed wire that fenced the homesteads of the American West. In 1899, the company Washburn founded was acquired by American Steel and Wire Co., which ultimately became a division of US Steel in 1901.
Washburn wasn't just a business man. He was a deacon in the Congregationalist Church, an abolitionist and a philanthropist. And he was a family man. Washburn married Ann Brown Washburn, who was the daughter of the woman he rented a room from. They had one son who lived only a few days and two daughters, Eliza Ann (who was married to Philip Moen and had a daughter named Annie), and Lucy Pamelia. Washburn outlived them all and later married Elizabeth Bancroft Cheever Washburn.
He was against alcohol and is said to be the only homeowner in Worcester, Mass. in the 1820s who opted to pay higher wages for the construction of his home rather than supplementing the wage with whiskey, as was the custom.
He served one year in the Massachusetts General Court (what is now the State Legislature) and was treasurer of the Church Anti-Slavery Society, raising the funds to produce a pamphlet that explained the teachings of the Bible against slavery. He was also very involved in the Freedman's Aid Society and wrote to Congress pushing for Emancipation.
He gave money to several causes, chief among them education, churches and health care. Washburn's personal experience led him, with two other men, to establish a technical school in Worcester known today as Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He believed all people deserved the right to formal education, rather than indentured apprenticeship, and that the right to education extended to women and people of color. Washburn donated what would have been the inheritance of his two daughters to establish Memorial Hospital in Worcester. Both girls died while in their 20s.
In October 1868, Horatio Q. Butterfield, a professor and fundraiser for Lincoln College, made a trip to New England to try to save the financially struggling institution. The school was founded by the Congregational Church in 1865 and admitted women and African Americans from its inception. Washburn pledged $25,000 to the cause. One month later, Butterfield recommended that the single-building institution be renamed Washburn College in recognition of the pledge. Washburn died Dec. 30, 1868 after complications from a stroke. He never traveled to Kansas to see the school. Butterfield became the first president of Washburn College in 1869.
Good stuff. Hard working giving Christian man no doubt. So, if the school is already named after him why use the name Ichabod for a mascot? I would think there are a lot of mascot names that could reflect the area or even his profession instead of No glory which is the meaning of Ichabod. Nonetheless it's a great name for a discussion topic.
Btw, I've heard nothing but good about the education you get at Washburn. Law School also.
I think Ichabods is fine for a mascot. It's unique. Good? Certainly not. But Tiger or bulldog etc is played out.
Washburn education is pretty legit for business or nursing and the law school is very well known nationally.
Ichabods is definitely a weird mascot. Do the women's teams go by Ichabroads ?
I like the facility and the name is kinda neat...for somebody else...beats the St. Bonaventure Bonnies.

1992: M.S.S. Sports Medicine
Lanning Tucker, who was promoted this season to assistant athletic trainer and rehabilitation coordinator for the Minnesota Twins, has rehabbed nearly two dozen pitchers from the elbow ligament reconstruction surgery in his 21-year career with the baseball team.
The 47-year-old Tucker, who earned his master's in Sports Medicine in 1992 from the United States Sports Academy, says teamwork between the player, his doctors, the coaches and athletic trainer is paramount to return to form from the so-called Tommy John surgery.
While he works with athletes, Tucker says he enjoys rehabbing regular folks just as much.
"It is even more gratifying, however, to work with a patient in the clinical setting who is able to get back to work after an injury has kept them from doing what they need to do for their family," he says.
After earning his master's at the Academy, Tucker spent time training at several Twins minor league organizations for six years, including Elizabethton Twins, Ft. Myers Miracle and New Britain Rock Cats. Tucker has been the head minor league trainer and rehab coordinator for the Twins since 1999, coordinating rehab programs for all minor league players in the organization.
Tucker took a minute away from the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries to talk to the Alumni Network about Tommy John rehab, baseball's 162-game schedule and his advice to future athletic trainers.
Alumni Network: It seems that the elbow ligament reconstruction surgery pitchers undergo is the hardest baseball injury to come back from. Is that true? How does it compare to other major injuries you've treated and worked on during your 21 seasons with the Minnesota Twins?
Lanning Tucker: Rehabilitation of a player who has undergone an ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction can certainly be a longer process than the rehabilitation of other injuries and is definitely complicated by the fact that the players who've had "Tommy John" surgery are generally, and understandably, apprehensive throughout the rehab process. I feel, however, that, if the surgeon, athletic trainer, physical therapist, player and coaches who are involved in the athlete's recovery work as a team and do their due diligence to follow a logical plan, the recovery process and return to activity can be less taxing.
AN: What are the odds you've found that the pitchers will be as good or better than before after "Tommy John" surgery in your experience rehabbing more than two dozen players?
LT The outcomes for players who've had UCL reconstruction are varied. Variables such as their injury history, surgery outcome, work ethics and compliance with the rehab and subsequent throwing program determine whether or not they will have a good outcome. The athletic trainer and everyone involved in the rehab process, as I mentioned earlier, working as a team has, in my experience, significantly improved the outcome for the players.
AN: How much do you enjoy working with athletes? Are they better and more disciplined patients than the rest of us?
LT: I enjoy working with any person who is motivated to get better—whether it be an athlete or not. It is rewarding to see an athlete get back to their sport and succeed again following an injury that required any amount of rehab. It is even more gratifying, however, to work with a patient in the clinical setting who is able to get back to work after an injury has kept them from doing what they need to do for their family.
AN: You always hear about the wear and tear on baseball players because of the everyday, 162-game season. What have you found are some of the best ways to keep them injury free?
LT: There are a number of strategies, when implemented and done on a consistent basis by the players, which can keep them off the DL disabled list. The top of which would be following a sound, year-round conditioning program and making adjustments to the program as needed. Addressing minor issues—strength or flexibility deficits, etc.—before they become injured is also crucial.
AN: What advice can you give those who also want to enter sports medicine and work with professional athletes like you do?
LT: The main piece of advice I would give an aspiring athletic trainer, no matter which setting they are entering, is to be prepared for anything and be prepared to work long hours.

The Queen Mary 2 is moored at the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay in Sydney on this March day. Probably most of the passengers will want to visit the Opera House and view the Harbour Bridge during their brief stay. Circular Quay is the main terminus for all the ferries that traverse the harbour and the Parramatta river.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.

MILAN (Reuters) - Milan magistrates ordered police on Monday to search for a Moroccan nightclub dancer at the center of a sex trial involving Silvio Berlusconi, now seeking a fifth term as prime minister in an election next year, after she failed to show up in court.
The incident, two days after Berlusconi announced he was planning to run in an election expected in February, came as a reminder of the sex scandals that plagued his last government and precipitated his demise.
Karima El Mahroug, better known by her stage name of "Ruby the Heartstealer", was due to testify on Monday but did not provide any valid justification for her absence, prosecutor Ilda Boccassini said in court.
El Mahroug's lawyer said she did not know where her client was.
Boccassini accused Berlusconi's lawyers of deliberately delaying the trial, where the former premier is accused of paying for sex with El Mahroug when she was under 18, to avoid a verdict in the middle of the election campaign.
Eighteen is the legal age limit for prostitution in Italy.
"This is a strategy to delay the proceedings while the election campaign gets under way," Boccassini said in court.
Berlusconi's lawyer, Niccolo Ghedini, in turn said the prosecutors were trying to hasten a verdict before the election, now expected in February rather than March or April after Prime Minister Mario Monti said at the weekend he would resign early.
"It is the magistrates who have started the election campaign," he told reporters outside the court.
The presiding judge in the case ordered police to search for El Mahroug "throughout the national territory" and the trial was adjourned to December 17. However, El Mahroug's lawyer, Paola Boccardi, said she did not know whether Ruby would show up then.
"I tried reaching her but her cellphone is off. She sent me a text saying she was abroad but I have no information about this trip and I don't know when she will be back," she said.
El Mahroug's testimony in court has been requested by Berlusconi's defense team. Italian media said a few days before Monday's hearing that Ruby had suddenly decided to travel to the United States.
A verdict, which could deal a blow to Berlusconi's comeback hopes were he to be found guilty, is expected early next year.
The trial, in which dozens of aspiring showgirls have described the so-called "Bunga Bunga" parties at Berlusconi's residences, is the most sensational of Berlusconi's legal cases and has been getting huge media attention in Italy and abroad.
Berlusconi is also accused of abusing his powers when he was still prime minister to have El Mahroug released from police custody when she was briefly held over theft allegations.
Berlusconi has denied any wrongdoing in the case, accusing left-wing magistrates of waging a politically motivated campaign against him.
The 76-year-old billionaire, whose sex scandal precipitated his political demise just over a year ago, said last week he would seek re-election after his party abruptly withdrew support from Monti's government.

THE END: WvW Screeches to a Stop as Embattled Editor Found Demented in Office.
He was found next to a half-empty bottle of schmoose pills, gibbering about whether "a comic that looks like a comic, walks like a comic and quacks like a comic is a comic."
"We think he overdosed on them." said one of the remaining reporters in hushed tones. "He was taking Freud on the side too. I think he was getting disconnected from everything and started saying stuff like "Can anybody stop this thing before my head explodes and my ears start to ring..."
"But I really didn't think he'd do something like that!"
Others however, said that they had already foreseen the impending fall.
"Yeah he was going around muttering 'We've been living life inside a bubble' or something like that." admitted another reporter, who shrugged. "We all thought he was just being philosophical but Regneva (the reporter who left because of the Harry Potter thing) did say before that things were getting a bit crazy."
However, there are suspicions of foul play. A half-torn memo was found on his desk. While the internet police have been reluctant to comment, it is suspected that the memo had been used to write a suicide note.
"None of us knew who he really was." Admitted another reporter. "He guarded his identity very jealously."
"Can we keep going?" he said when asked about Webcartoonist vs Webcartoonist's future. "I don't know. It feels wrong to. The least we should do is wait and see if a trip to the asylum cures him or something."
Contributor Mister Bristol was contacted for comment, but no usable quote could be attained through the sobbing. Some distinguishable words included "sorrow", "like a sibling," and, strangely, "donut."
Conspiracy theorists have pointed out it's just too convenient the note was torn where it would have revealed WvW's real identity. However, until the scrap is found, the real identity of WvW will forever remain a mystery.

A nice observation lookout of the scenic mountains of the Tennessee Valley. Also a great place to have a cookout! Miles upon miles of hiking trails of all difficulty levels lie just to the East and West of this image. This lookout is at the edge of the playground/cookout area and the very end of the Blue trail (the easiest of all the trails in the park).
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast.

Goldman Sachs Sells $750M of Junior Loans on Hawaiian Hotel Portfolio
Goldman Sachs Group has sold about $750 million of junior loans on a large hotel portfolio owned by the private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, according to people briefed on the transaction.
The junior loan, which was part of a $1.85 billion debt restructuring, was sold in four pieces and marks the latest—and one of the largest—complex refinancing deals since the financial crisis. This kind of financing with multiple junior debtholders was popular during the property market boom but disappeared when the bubble burst and risk appetite waned.
The loans were acquired by a group of prominent institutional investors, including a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Another buyer is Athene Annuity & Life Assurance Co., which is owned in part by the private equity firm Apollo Global Management, these people said.
After selling the junior loans, Goldman plans to securitize and sell as bonds the remaining $1.1 billion senior mortgage, according to people close to the process.

Current Law Students / Re: practicing law as a non-U.S. citizen« on: August 10, 2007, 08:16:00 AM »
QuoteIf you got a PhD (along with a JD perhaps) it would actually be much easier for you to stay here, PhD's don't count against the H-1B (skilled worker visa) quota and they are much easier to hire for companies, then you could get a green card after a few years.
I'm curious. What does this mean? I'm a foreign student too, starting a JD program this fall, but I have a PhD. Will this somehow magically make it easier to obtain a work visa a few years down the road?
I believe that a J.D. is considered to be the same level as a Ph.D. for immigration visa purposes. But it is not exempt from H-1 quota. Master's and Ph.D. degree holders (who received their degree from a US institution) have an additional 20,000 per year H-1B quota. While that makes your chances to get an H-1B better, I believe the quota was exhausted in two weeks this time, but at least it's not a lottery like regular H-1B quota.
The previous poster is probably thinking of the H-1B quota exemption for non-profit employees. That is, if you go to work for the government or a non-profit research institution after you graduate with your J.D., you can apply for an H-1B immediately and have nearly 100% of getting it (assuming your paperwork is in order).
Either way, once you graduate, you'll have a year of practical training, which is plenty of time for your firm to get all documents in order and have them ready to file on the first day H-1 applications are accepted (currently it's April 1 of each year).
If I confused you more than I helped, go to immigrationportal.com and search for H-1 visa info - it's a pretty good resource.

One of the enduring legacies of the Occupy Wall Street movement is the term "One Percent," referring to the percentage of top wage earners in the United States, or those who make an annual income of $343,000 or more. This tier, oft-discussed and much-maligned, is also that subset of the population known as "ultra-high net worth," or UHNW.
David Friedman, president of the global wealth intelligence firm Wealth-X, said in an e-mail that his organization "defines UHNW individuals as individuals with a net worth of at least $30 million, after accounting for shares in public and private companies, residential and investment properties, art collections, planes, cash and other assets." The firm estimates that 59,805 such individuals live in the United States.
Using figures provided by Wealth-X, population data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the insights of Wealth-X president David Friedman, CNBC.com presents a list of the 10 states with the most UHNW individuals on a per capita basis. Read ahead to find out which ones they are.

Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Many pathogenic microorganisms are host-specific in that they parasitize only one or a few animal species. For example, the cause of equine strangles, Streptococcus equi subspecies equi, is essentially limited to infection of horses. Others—certain Salmonella serotypes, for example—have a broad host range. The basis for this difference in host specificity often is incompletely understood, but it may in part be related to the need for specific attachment devices between host (receptors) and parasite (adhesins). Some agents infect several host species with varying effects. For example, the plague bacillus Yersinia pestis behaves as a commensal parasite in many, small rodent species but causes fatal disease in rats and humans. Evolutionary pressure may have produced some of these differences. For instance, Coccidioides immitis, a saprophytic fungus that requires no living host, infects cattle and dogs with equal ease; yet it produces no clinical signs in cattle but frequently causes progressive fatal disease in dogs. Potential pathogens also vary in their effects on different tissues in the same host. The Escherichia coli strains that are commensals in the intestine can cause severe disease in the urinary tract and peritoneal cavity. Some microorganisms that are commensals in one habitat may be pathogenic in the same, or some other, habitat that is pathologically altered or otherwise compromised. For example, oral streptococci, which occasionally enter the bloodstream, may colonize a damaged heart valve and initiate bacterial endocarditis. In the absence of such a lesion, however, the Streptococci would not colonize and would be cleared uneventfully by the innate immune system. Similarly, the frequent translocation of intestinal bacteria across the intestinal mucosa, and Into the vascular channels, normally leads to their clearance by innate and adaptive defense mechanisms. In immuno-deficient hosts, however, such entrance may lead to fatal septicemia.

Nearly every public school district in Wisconsin charges student fees or user fees. These fees are typically used to offset the cost of classroom supplies, texts and materials used by students throughout the school year. The Appleton Area School District (AASD) also charges student fees for this purpose. These annual fees are for every student (4K – 12) and vary according to grade level.
The AASD appreciates the assistance from parents in paying these important fees. Other fees for specific classes or activities may still apply. Please contact your school for more information.
Any request or consideration for fee waivers must be addressed through the free and reduced lunch application process.

Expanded Cloud Offering Provides Flexibility to Meet the Growing Demand for SaaS ERP Among Midmarket Organizations
Expanded Cloud Offering Provides Flexibility to Meet the Growing Demand for SaaS ERP Among Midmarket Organizations
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Sep 10, 2012) - IMTS 2012, Booth E-3117 -- Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organizations, today announced expanded availability of its next-generation cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) being held September 10-15 in Chicago, IL. Epicor ERP is multi-tenant software as a service (SaaS) solution now available to midmarket manufacturers, distributors and service organizations.
"Based on the market response and success with Epicor ERP Express Edition, our SaaS ERP offering for smaller manufacturers and distributors, we're excited to now extend our ERP cloud solutions to larger organizations," said Chad Meyer, director, product marketing for Epicor. "Increasingly we are seeing a demand from businesses looking for an advanced cloud-based ERP solution. Providing unprecedented deployment flexibility, Epicor ERP is available on premise, hosted or in the cloud. Epicor is the only vendor to have designed and deployed a full featured multi-tenant SaaS and on-premise version out of a single product to its customers."
Strategic Approach to Cloud ERP Portfolio
According to a report from Gartner, Inc., "Enterprises continue to push SaaS investments, as SaaS encompasses 17.9% of the overall IT enterprise application software budget."1 As more buyers look to cloud-based enterprise applications for faster implementations, lower IT overhead and cost savings, it is important that they consider offerings that provide the fit, flexibility and scalability their business will require. Furthermore, a recent Forrester Research report noted, "With this increased investment and greater importance to business operations, sourcing and vendor management executives are taking a more strategic approach to SaaS deployments, realizing that one-off, business-led purchases typically result in redundancy, contractual/cost inefficiencies, and even security/compliance risks."2
Epicor next-generation ERP was developed on a multi-tenant service-oriented architecture (SOA), the foundation enables Epicor ERP to be deployed in multi-tenant SaaS, single-tenant (hosted), and on-premise -- making Epicor ERP a truly unique offering. Customers can select the edition and deployment model that works best for them and as they evolve have the peace of mind that their ERP solution has the flexibility and functionality to accommodate their future requirements and growth.
Leveraging Epicor Express Success

The solution provides the broad functionality for managing opportunities, orders, operations and accounting in one integrated solution. Additionally, embedded business intelligence functionality provides real-time insight into business performance and key metrics.

are you saying you want me to take BKK off the abrv key?
No, no. It would be odd not to have both abbreviations there. Someone who is only trying to find out what an abbreviation stands for, apart from its association with an airport, may notice the Region Abbreviations legend first, and we don't want to confuse or disappoint them. I just appreciate the extra convenience of putting the BKK in the Airport Connections legend. I'm happy with that.

HONOLULU » He thought he had the game and was determined to play golf for a living, so he turned pro before finishing high school and spent two years traveling the world as he tried to make it to the big leagues.
Maybe it will pay off at the Sony Open.
Kevin Na went into the third round yesterday only two shots out of the lead.
The other kid taking a similar route is Tadd Fujikawa, who missed the cut for the ninth straight time since turning pro last summer. Fujikawa made history last year at the Sony Open when he was 16 as the youngest player in 50 years to make the cut on the PGA Tour.
The encore didn't go according to plan.
A year ago, he dropped his putter and raised his arms in triumph after an eagle putt in the second round for a 66. On Friday, he lifted his head to the blue skies over Oahu and closed his eyes as his shots found the rough and his putts caught the lip.
He went 74-70 and missed the cut by four shots.
Fujikawa has played four times on the PGA Tour, twice on the Nationwide Tour, and once each in Japan, Europe and on the Canadian Tour. He is still waiting to cash his first paycheck.
The pressure probably will build.
Questions are sure to follow whether Fujikawa, a 5-foot-1 junior in high school with a big heart and impeccable manners, made the right choice by turning pro so early.
"I think it was the right decision," he said. "I have no regrets as of right now, and hopefully throughout my golf career."
Where that career takes him over the next few years, starting with 2008, is uncertain.
His next stop is the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, the second of seven exemptions he is allowed on the PGA Tour. His agent, Kevin Bell, has letters out to just about every tournament as he tries to build a schedule.
Spots on the Nationwide Tour are hard to find, a circuit filled with players grinding to make the PGA Tour. He received an offer a few weeks ago to play in Abu Dhabi, but had to turn it down because he could not get from Hawaii to the Middle East until the early hours of Wednesday. They are looking at Europe and Japan.
The road looks even bumpier because it starts in Honolulu, and that naturally evokes comparisons of another teenager from Hawaii who turned pro as a junior in high school. Michelle Wie is now in a tailspin, brought on by injury and questionable advice.
Fujikawa, however, finds inspiration from Na.
Born in South Korea, Na moved to southern California when he was 8, picked up the game a few years later and was one of the top juniors when he dropped out of high school and turned pro.
He failed at Q-school, then went to the Asian Tour and won the Volvo Masters of Asia, which got him into a World Golf Championship at age 19. He made it through Q-school later that year and has kept his card each year.
Na's advice to Fujikawa was to keep playing.
"He just needs to play a lot of tournaments, whether that's Nationwide, PGA Tour, any tournament he can play anywhere," Na said. "He's popular, so he can get a lot of sponsor exemptions overseas. I think that's a great place to go, because you get to see the different parts of the world as a young person, and I think that really opens up your mind."
Fujikawa comes from a humble background. His father is a self-employed contractor, his mother works part-time at an auto repair shop. He goes to public school, plays on public courses.
One reason for turning pro was financial. Fujikawa found it difficult to pay for travel to amateur tournaments, and a few endorsements help with the travel. He has signed deals with Aloha Petroleum, Kraft Foods Hawaii and Hawaii Medical Assurance Association. Most of the deals are tied to appearances in Hawaii, where he enjoys celebrity status.
"His parents only want him to get out and play tournaments," Bell said. "They're not looking for $500,000 endorsements. That's not realistic. They want to make sure he likes what he's doing. His goal is to get his tour card when he's 21. If he can do it sooner, even better."
Fujikawa had more than one kindred spirit at Waialae.
Sean O'Hair comes from an entirely different background. He was groomed to be a star by his father, who enrolled him in the top golf academies, trained his son like he were in boot camp and looked upon him as a business opportunity. O'Hair's father had him turn pro before his senior year in high school, and they traveled the country trying to Monday qualify on the Nationwide Tour, meeting failure at every turn.
Only after he broke away from his father and got married did O'Hair figure out a better plan.
He played a mini-tour in New England, then the Gateway Tour in the west, returned to New England and made it through Q-school when he was 22. He was the PGA Tour rookie of the year, winning the John Deere Classic and finishing 18th on the money list.
O'Hair doesn't know Fujikawa well, but he knows what he's going through.
"There's nothing wrong with him struggling," O'Hair said. "If you don't fail, you'll never learn."
The career choice was made last summer, and there's no turning back. The only thing Fujikawa can do now is keep playing.

Florida's Territorial Legislative Council met for the first time in the territory's newly designated capital of Tallahassee in November 1824. In preparation for the meeting, local planters erected three log cabins to house the delegates. One of these cabins served as the meeting place for the delegates and thereby became Florida's first Capitol building.
The inadequate size and temporary nature of the first Capitol led the Legislative Council to authorize the construction of a permanent two-story building to house Florida's territorial government. The Council created a three-man commission to oversee the development of the new capital city and the building of one wing of the new Capitol building, which would be paid for from the proceeds of sales of city lots. Due to the importance of the Capitol project, Governor William Pope DuVal, Florida's first territorial governor, proposed that one of the three commissioners be designated to manage the building's construction. The cornerstone of the second Capitol was laid on January 7, 1826, but arguments over design and construction delayed the awarding of a building contract. In 1828, Commissioner John P. DuVal, the governor's brother and the Tallahassee commissioner responsible for managing the building of the Capitol, awarded the construction contract to Benjamin G. Thornton and Jesse H. Willis of Leon County, who were supposed to complete the work for $23,000 ($17,000 for Thornton, the principal contractor, and $6,000 for Willis, who would supply the bricks).
Thornton and Willis' contract proved to be an ill-fated enterprise, however; the Tallahassee city commission never had enough funds to pay them, and the Legislative Council never appropriated enough money. Thornton filed a lawsuit against the territory for payment, but his suit was rejected and he lost his fortune paying for the case and in subsequent litigation. Eventually, a jury ruled in Thornton's favor after the Tallahassee city commissioners sued him for non-performance of work. The jury, however, did not award Thornton any money and the case continued until 1842 when the Legislative Council awarded him money in a relief bill. By that time, the Council had scrapped the second Capitol venture in favor of a new building project that resulted in the completion of the third Capitol in 1845, the year Florida achieved statehood.
In the following letter, William Wyatt, a building contractor and hotelier (who built and ran the Planter's Hotel, one of Tallahassee's earliest hotels), complains to Governor DuVal about losing the bid to build the second Capitol to Thornton and Willis. Wyatt later served as a delegate from Leon County to Florida's 1838 constitutional convention and became a leader in Florida's Whig Party. He eventually created a successful sugarcane plantation in Manatee County and died in 1850.1

The following transcription of Wyatt's letter contains all of the original text (no changes have been made in spelling or grammar).
Tallahassee April 22 1828
To his Excellency William P. Duval
Governor of Florida
My proposals for building the capitol has this day been rejected by the commissioner of the city of Tallahassee, which was lower by 9,000 Dollars then the one given by Messrs Thornton and Willis, which he has accepted, and is about to close the contract with. I think that the interest of the Territory require that the capitol should be built on the best possible terms, at any rate the sum of nine thousand dollars should not be paid over and above, the amount I am willing to complete it for.
I will call the attention of Your Excellency to the 11 th section of a Law laying off the Town of Tallahassee when it is made the duty of the governor to correct any conduct of this sort by the commissioner, as well as to gain the interest of the Territory, in the erection of the public buildings. I have coppies of my proposals and can sadisfy you on this subject at any time.
Respectfully yr servt
W. Wyatt

Las Vegas wants more gay tourists, even if the state of Nevada won't let them get married. And the Supreme Court's decision on Monday to not hear pending cases on state bans of same-sex marriage will help that cause as same-sex couples in up to 11 new states could reap the benefits.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority earlier this year launched what it claims is the first national mainstream tourism television commercial that celebrates same-sex relationships. Separately, an episode of the ABC sitcom "Modern Family" recently featured a gay bachelor party and showcased gay-themed events Las Vegas has to offer.
The new installment of the "what happens here, stays here" campaign, however, suggests Sin City is a place where a man can cheat on his wife or girlfriend – with another man. The ad, running on Bravo TV, E! and Logo TV, features a man and woman checking into a hotel. When the woman walks away to freshen up, another man comes along and the receptionist assumes they're together. "You gentlemen ready to check in?" she asks. They look each other over. The suggestion: They might just do that.
Is this effective advertising? "It's troubling in one way because women may hate it," says Bob Witeck, president and founder of Witeck Communications Inc., a public relations firm in Washington, D.C. "If you type 'Is my husband…' into Google, the No. 1 result that comes up is 'gay,'" he says. "This feeds into the anxiety that many women have about their husbands." (Or, at least, the anxiety of all the women that have typed that question into Google.) "On the other hand, the commercial could be the first mainstream commercial that targets bisexual people," Witeck says. (In 2013, Philadelphia ran "Get your history straight and your nightlife gay" television spots, but only in regional markets on Bravo and Style Network).
Las Vegas first began targeting the LGBT market in 2008 to boost visitors during the recession, says Randy Snow, chief strategic officer at R&R Partners in Las Vegas, the advertising agency that created the ad and famous "What happens here, stays here" slogan. "We have a lot to offer LGBT visitors," he says.
Unlike their straight counterparts, gay tourists don't have to worry about inadvertently getting hitched after a weekend of debauchery. Nevada is not among the 24 states (and District of Columbia) that have legalized same-sex marriage. "Yes, there's some irony there," Snow says. As for the will they/won't they ending to the city's first national LGBT television spot, he says, "There's an air of mystery. We don't always try to spell everything out." (His own interpretation: They're certainly going to be together.")
Attracting more LGBT investment is also a challenge for states that don't allow gay marriage and an economic stimulus for those that do, says David Paisley, senior research director at Community Marketing & Insights, an LGBT marketing and research company. Gay marriage will collectively inject over $1.5 billion into states that have legalized gay marriage, according to the Williams Institute for Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy at the University of California. "There are huge gay populations in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale," Paisley says. "They are losing that money and it's all going to neighboring states. There are definitely winners and losers now. Hawaii (which legalized gay marriage last year) is really well poised to pick up this tourism."
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority launched this campaign now because there are more LGBT-themed events and venues to support it, says Cathy Tull, senior vice president of marketing for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Las Vegas has 13 "TAG Approved" gay-friendly hotel properties, she says. (TAG Approved is a program that qualifies businesses based on their employment policies, services and support returned to the LGBT community.) But while drive-through weddings are available in Las Vegas, marriage licenses for same-sex couples are not. "The state legislature continues to review that topic," Tull says. "We have commitment ceremonies, bachelorette or bachelor parties and honeymoons, and really we need to own that."
Despite this, Las Vegas has done a "good, solid job" of attracting both business and leisure tourism from the LGBT community, Paisley says. In 2013, Las Vegas was ranked as No. 4 behind New York, Chicago and San Francisco for both segments, and No. 2 among gay men for leisure tourism. But the city needs to continue to advertise and reach out to the LGBT community to keep up with the more popular destinations among LGBT visitors (San Francisco and Chicago) and to fend off competition from those snapping at its heels (Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.). While "The Strip" does not itself have a gay vibe, Paisley says there's a small gay bar scene off The Strip and some nightclubs there are going gay for a night.
Not everyone thinks that's enough. Gabriel Muller, 23, who works in media consulting in Washington, D.C., went to Las Vegas last year with friends and found gay nightlife there wanting. He would go to a bachelor party in Las Vegas, he says, but wouldn't go there on a honeymoon. "It's artificial, it's escapist, it's fun, but I wouldn't call it romantic with a 10-foot-pole," he says. "For the most part, Las Vegas is a straight man's fantasy world and that's exactly what they're capitalizing on." Plus, Muller says the latest TV spot appears to be aimed at the guy with the girl. "It seems less of an advertisement about Las Vegas's gay offerings and more of a confirmation that in Vegas you can let your inhibitions go," Muller says.

There is a query parameter called folderid to specify what folder to take teh random songs from.
When I don't pass in that paremeter, I'd expected that I would recieve songs from all music folders, but it seems one music folder is selected randomly and all "random" songs are taken from that single music folder.
Could be something in my setup, but I'm guessing this is how it was implemented.
Is there any way this could be either fixed or improved to songs randomly from all music folders?
(Windows 7, madsonic 6.2, API 2.5.0)
best regards
REST API 2.5.0 - getRandomSongs not from all folders

SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Pass the metal scanner on arrival at Sochi station or watch Cossacks patrol the streets of the 2014 Winter Olympics venue and you know it did not take the Boston Marathon bombs to alert Russian organisers to two facts:
One, that a major sporting event makes a prime target for terrorism; and, two, that Chechens and other Muslim peoples of Moscow's restive Caucasus mountain provinces around Sochi nurse deep historic grievances that pose a constant risk of violence.
In the six years since it won the right to host the Games next February, Russia has shown as much determination to protect athletes, spectators - and its own international image - from any form of attack, as it has in building the grand ski and ice venues now being completed in the hills above President Vladimir Putin's favoured vacation spot on the palm-fringed Black Sea.
But bringing the Games to the Caucasus, whose ancient ethnic and religious resentments helped mould the Chechen Tsarnaev brothers accused of wreaking havoc on their adopted city last week, has given the enterprise an added dimension of danger.
As Yegor Engelhard, an independent Moscow security analyst, put it: "It's almost like having the Olympics in Beirut."
In an area where much blood has been shed over identity and history since Soviet communism collapsed, it has not escaped local notice that a key venue is Krasnaya Polyana. That is where the tsar's armies claimed final victory after a half-century of war to conquer the Muslim Caucasus, 150 years ago next year.
Since Palestinians took Israeli athletes hostage at the 1972 Munich Olympics, hosts have devoted vast resources to security; in general, the remote venues of the winter editions pose fewer headaches than for the likes of last summer's games in London, an open metropolis which was subjected to intense surveillance and saw anti-aircraft missiles deployed on apartment blocks.
But Moscow is taking no half measures around Sochi and officials believe they had done enough to keep the Games safe, well before Boston provided a timely reminder of the risks.
"We aren't taking any special measures because of what happened in Boston, but we are looking at a whole set of potential threats," said Andrei Pilipchuk, a spokesman for the Russian Interior Ministry. "We've been carrying out tests all year to improve the way we counter them."
Murad Batal al-Shishani, a London-based independent expert on the insurgency in the North Caucasus, said Russian agencies, which have not always coordinated well in recent times, should by now be well prepared for the threats they may face: "Russian authorities (had) enough time to take security measures, therefore it will be a challenge ... to attack," he said.
Heavy security is nothing new in Sochi: a resort city straggling along the coast with health spas built for Soviet workers, Putin's motorcades, holding up traffic, are a familiar sight. More novel are the metal scanners checking all passengers at the main rail station, and, especially, the Cossack patrols.
Heirs to tsarist-era frontiersmen, self-styled Cossacks in trademark lambskin hats and military epaulettes have been roaming Sochi for weeks at the behest of local officials, though it is unclear whether the role of such groups, viewed by some as racist vigilantes, extends beyond assuaging public anxiety.
From June 1, more than eight months before the Games begin, the entire area will be subjected to even tighter - though publicly unspecified - controls to protect venues from militants who have made world headlines for two decades with spectacular, and usually bloody, mass hostage-takings and bombings in Russia.
While the Kremlin may not emulate its Soviet predecessors who simply rounded up and expelled "undesirables" from Moscow when they held the 1980 summer Olympics there, its forces are used to a free, and fairly heavy, hand in monitoring movement.
There is resentment among locals with a massive construction project they believe benefits only a well-connected few; but, especially after Boston, many in Sochi, whose 340,000 people are overwhelmingly non-Muslim ethnic Russians, do welcome whatever security the government provides.
"I've seen more police patrols since the attacks in the USA. We have to learn from what happened to them," said Alexander Feoktistov, 59, as he worked at his souvenir stand in Sochi, already selling stuffed animals bearing the Games logos.
"The militants could pose a direct threat to the Olympics if they wanted to. They would only have to cross those mountains."
In fact, crossing the virtually trackless Caucasus range, whose peaks rise above 5,000 metres (16,000 feet), in winter, is no mean feat; more vulnerable may be approaches to the coastal strip from the lawless, breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia, just a few miles from the main access road to the ski venues.
Since Putin crushed Chechen separatists' hold on Grozny over a decade ago, conflicts continue to simmer across the Caucasus, from Dagestan in the east, where Tamerlan Tsarnaev spent time last year, to western areas near Sochi that are home to several ethnic and linguistic groups historically known as Circassians.
Nationalist claims to independence that dominated the 1990s as other Soviet republics broke away have given way to calls for a pan-Caucasus Islamic state, some from those who have fought with Arabs or Afghans under the banner of al Qaeda, others from Muslims who simply view Russian rule as corrupt and oppressive.
So far this year, at least 124 people have died in violence in the region, the authoritative Caucasian Knot website says.
While some militants have this month distanced themselves from any anti-American or anti-Western motive the Tsarnaevs may have had, the risk remains real of an attack on foreign visitors to the Olympics, if only to humiliate the arch-enemy, Moscow.
Russia's most wanted man, the Chechen Doku Umarov who also features on a U.N. list of al Qaeda associates, has declared the Games a target for his Caucasus Emirate. Among previous attacks, he has claimed the derailing of a Moscow-St. Petersburg express train in 2009 and suicide bombings of the Russian capital's metro in 2010 and busiest airport in 2011 that killed dozens.
Chechens took large groups hostage in the 1990s, at a Moscow theatre in 2002 and a Caucasus school in 2004; North Africans used the tactic just this year, at an Algerian gas plant, and security analyst Engelhard said the Olympics could be a target:
"I wouldn't be surprised," he said.
"The Caucasus Emirate has the motivation to use the grievances of the region to draw attention to their cause and exploit the opportunities the Olympics provide."
Putin, who spoke last week to U.S. President Barack Obama on counterterrorism issues in the wake of the Boston bombing, has long cited the violence of the likes of Umarov to counter the sympathy Westerners have shown at times toward Caucasus rebels.
For that reason, some militants may remain wary of attacking foreigners, just as they disowned the Boston bombings. Their repeated failure to sway the Kremlin even with the deaths of hundreds of Russian civilians may also discourage some of them.
"People are afraid of that kind of violence in Europe or America," said one local man as he whisked his bag off the new scanner at Sochi station. Voicing a Russian machismo toward bomb threats, Roman Komaryov added: "Here, we're not afraid."
Whether at the Olympics or elsewhere, however, Russians are well aware that the risk can never be entirely eliminated.
Also at the station, heading home to Moscow after a spa vacation at a sanatorium on the Black Sea, railwayman Vladimir Shviginov, 46, recalled that four years ago he had worked on repairing the track after the bombing that derailed the St. Petersburg-bound Nevsky Express, killing 26 people.
"You can try to be as careful as you can," he said. "But you can never be protected against everyone all the time."

Ford Motor Company Announces Mark Fields as New President, CEO
Alan Mulally To Officially Retire July 1st
Ford Motor Company's CEO Alan Mulally, 68, plans to retire from his post on July 1st this year and will pass the torch on to Mark Fields, current chief operating officer.
"From the first day we discussed Ford's transformation eight years ago, Alan and I agreed that developing the next generation of leaders and ensuring an orderly CEO succession were among our highest priorities," Executive Chairman Bill Ford said. "Mark has transformed several of our operations around the world into much stronger businesses during his 25 years at Ford. Now, Mark is ready to lead our company into the future as CEO."
Alan Mulally has held down the CEO position since September of 2006 and turned Ford into one of the leading global automakers throughout his almost eight year reign.
"Alan deservedly will be long remembered for engineering one of the most successful business turnarounds in history," Bill Ford said. "Under Alan's leadership, Ford not only survived the global economic crisis, it emerged as one of the world's strongest auto companies. We always will be grateful to Alan for his leadership, compelling vision and for fostering a culture of working together that will serve our company for decades to come."
Under Alan Mulally, Ford had a profitable 19 consecutive quarters and came through with the strongest product lineup in Ford history as well as taking global expansion to an all-time high.
"Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," said Bill Ford, who recruited Mulally from Boeing in 2006.
"Mark – supported by an experienced and dedicated senior leadership team – is absolutely the right leader to continue to deliver on our compelling vision" - Mulally
Fields, 53, was given the title of Ford's chief operating officer back in December of 2012. While under that title, he led Ford's global business operations and skill teams such as product development, manufacturing, purchasing, marketing, sales and service. Fields also led Ford's transformation in North America since 2005 which went from record losses to record profits in each of the last four years. He also helped with major restructuring of Mazda.
"It has been an honor to serve and contribute to creating a viable, profitably growing company for the good of everyone associated with the Ford Motor Company," Alan Mulally said. "By working together with all of our stakeholders around the world, we now are accelerating Henry Ford's original vision to open the highways to all mankind.
"Ford's future is so bright, and Mark – supported by an experienced and dedicated senior leadership team – is absolutely the right leader to continue to deliver on our compelling vision," Mulally added.
As CEO and president of Ford, Fields will continue on with Alan Mulally's One Ford plan.
"It is a true honor to lead this great company and this talented team into the future," Fields said. "Under Alan's leadership, we have seen the power of One Ford and what a culture of positive leadership and working together can accomplish. My commitment is to build on that success by accelerating our pace of progress. All of us at Ford are committed to delivering even more of the great products and innovations that will deliver growth and define our company going forward."

Joe Outlaw, Texas AgriLife Extension economist and co-director of the Texas A&M Agriculture and Food Policy Center.
As crop insurance becomes the warp and weave of the farm safety net, it provides a tempting target for some legislators and numerous organizations who view funding for U.S. farm programs as wasteful and unnecessary.
"If crop insurance becomes the farm safety net, it has to work for the farmer," says Joe Outlaw, Texas AgriLife Extension economist and co-director of the Texas A&M Agriculture and Food Policy Center.
"When crop insurance becomes the safety net, politics will get into it," he said, during a risk management panel discussion, part of the second annual Southwest Ag Issues Summit in Oklahoma City.
"One of the biggest challenges I have when traveling across the country is debunking what smart people say about agricultural spending," Outlaw said.
Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee Frank Lucas, in an interview with Southwest Farm Press, said preserving crop insurance support is a key focus in farm bill debates but adds that crop insurance funds will be about all that's left for farm program opponents to target in years to come.

"The cost of crop insurance to taxpayers is grossly overstated," said Art Barnaby, Kansas State University agricultural economist and a risk management issues panelist. "There is no subsidy but a cost-share program. No cash is transferred unless a farmer has a claim."
The key issue with crop insurance, Barnaby said, is to protect farmers against catastrophic loss. "That's why they need government assistance."
He also noted that farmers have considerable skin in crop insurance purchase. "Premiums in Texas for 2012 amounted to $1 billion," he said. "Also, when critics complain about the cost to taxpayers, they don't consider the gain years, only the losses." Accounting for gains, he said, drastically reduces the amount of taxpayers' money going into crop insurance.
He took 2009 as an example. The subsidy—or cost share—was $5.4 billion. Losses and claims were negligible, so the program ended up with a $1.4 billion gain from premiums paid. Total cost share from the government was closer to $4 billion.
Also on the panel was Tom Zacharias, president, National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS). "NCIS is the primary service organization for the crop insurance industry," Zacharias said. "Individual revenue coverage is the bread and butter of the industry, and with 1994 legislation we saw the genesis of the modern crop insurance program."
The program grew from 182 million policies in 1998 to 283 million in 2012.
Zacharias also responded by letter later in the week to a series of articles published in Bloomberg News that were harshly critical of the crop insurance program. He wrote:
"Over the last decade, elected officials, financial institutions, farm leaders and farmers have reached a general consensus that crop insurance is the best risk management tool available. That conclusion was reached because crop insurance reduces the risk exposure to taxpayers while requiring farmers to purchase policies with their own money before enjoying the relative protection of insurance. In short, it forces farmers to manage risk before, not after it happens, which saves taxpayers money.
"The factual errors, blatant omissions and obvious bias in this series were stunning and it is unfortunate that the editors of Bloomberg News agreed to release these stories publicly. It was a great disservice to their readers and a personal insult to the hardworking farmers and ranchers of this nation."
Panelists and audience members expressed other concerns for the continued viability of federal crop insurance. Payment limits could be a killer.
"A $250,000 adjusted gross income limit would affect a lot of people in this audience," Barnaby said. "Adding payment limitations to crop insurance would be a serious threat."
Zacharias agrees. "Payment limitations would run head on into farm policy versus risk management. For risk management, we need a high level of participation and payment limitations could reduce farmer participation."
Outlaw said farmers will have to rethink crop insurance decisions whenever a new farm bill is passed. Recent changes that allow growers to split out coverage for different production practices such as dryland versus irrigated has added some new wrinkles, but proposals likely to be included in new law may offer even more layers and options that producers will have to weigh.
"Regardless of when a farm bill is done, farmers will see a shift from commodity program risk management tools to more insurance. It's not necessarily a problem, just different," Outlaw said. "We will need to engage in a huge education effort to help farmers understand the choices and costs associated with different insurance levels."
Audience members expressed concerns about recent yield declines—caused by prolonged drought—and the resulting low average production history on which crop insurance coverage and premiums are based.
Panelists said farmers could still buy more coverage but the price would be higher.
Zacharias said ongoing and future challenges for NCIS include product delivery and continuation of premium subsidies. He also noted that producers do share in the cost of their crop insurance and that they receive payments only when they have a loss.
The focus of farm legislation and for the agriculture industry for crop insurance, he said, continues to be, "do no harm."

The Bulldogs open the weekend slate against Cornell on Friday night at 7 p.m. The Big Red won the season's first meeting, 65-56, on Feb. 1.
Saturday night, Yale hosts Columbia at 7 p.m. The Bulldogs led the entire way in the season's first meeting and picked up a 76-51 win on Jan. 31. Yale forced a season-high 28 turnovers in the win.
Sarah Halejian, who led the Bulldogs in scoring last weekend, averages a team-high 15.4 points per game on the year. Meredith Boardman is the team's leading rebounder with 6.2 rebounds per game.
Pink Zone
Yale hosts its annual Pink Zone/"Battle of the Badges" event on Saturday, Feb. 22, when the Bulldogs host Columbia. All proceeds from the day's events will benefit the Smilow Cancer Center. Fans wearing pink, or making a donation, will receive free admission. Raffle prizes, pink cotton candy and other events will also take place throughout the game.
Yale's Pink Zone has generated over $25,000 for cancer research over the past four years.
Scouting Cornell
Series History: Yale leads, 47-23
Yale has won eight of the last nine meetings, but Cornell claimed victory in the season's first meeting, 65-56, on February 1.
Cornell split last weekend's contests, winning at Dartmouth (78-59), before falling at Harvard (84-69).
Allyson DiMagno leads the Big Red in scoring (13.7 ppg) and rebounding (8.6 rpg), while adding 2.4 assists per game. Cornell leads the Ivy League with 9.2 steals per game and rank second in turnover margin (+2.41) and scoring defense, allowing just 63.6 points per game.
Scouting Columbia
Series History: Yale leads the all-time series, 38-16.
The Bulldogs have won three straight in the series, including a 76-51 win in the season's first meeting on January 31.
The Lions split its contests last weekend, falling at Harvard on Friday before picking up a win at Dartmouth, 65-59.
Tori Oliver is the team's leading scorer at 10.2 points per game, while Courtney Bradford grabs a team-high 6.0 rebounds per game. Taylor Ward ranks fifth in the league with 3.2 assists per game and plays a league-high 36.0 minutes per game. Columbia ranks third in the Ivy League with 13.1 offensive rebounds per game.
What To Watch For
Take Care Of The Rock: Yale has done a good job throughout the season of taking care of the ball, as evidenced by its Ivy League-leading +3.2 turnover margin. The Bulldogs' opponent on Friday, Cornell, leads the league in caused turnovers (18.8) and is the last opponent to cause Yale to turn the ball over more than its opponent, by a 14-9 margin back on Jan. 31.
Staying Fresh: One of Yale's strengths has been its depth with 11 players averaging at least 10.0 minutes per game. The Bulldogs have two players averaging double-figures, but another seven that average between 4.2 and 5.9 points per game. The bench has provided a lift for the Yale offense, contributing over 23 points per game.
Power In The Paint: Yale's ability to score in the post has been an integral part of its success. In Ivy League play, the Bulldogs are 4-0 when it gets 25 or more points in the paint. In fact, Yale has only lost four games all season when scoring at least 20 points in the paint.
Looking Ahead
Yale closes out its home schedule with games against Princeton and Penn next weekend. Yale's four members of the Class of 2014; Janna Graf, Zenab Keita, Alexandra Osborn-Jones and Amanda Tyson, will be honored prior to Saturday's game against Penn at 7:00 p.m.
