University field trials show that hybrid selection is the number one factor in determining yield. Four years of yield data from the University of Minnesota illustrate the impact hybrid selection has on a corn grower's bottom line.
"We identified key agronomic practices that impact a grower's success including hybrid selection, crop rotation, tillage systems and relative maturities," said Jeff Coulter, University of Minnesota extension agronomist. "Selecting proven, well adapted hybrids with high yield potential can make a large impact on overall performance."
According to the research, return to the grower was between 37 to 64% when comparing highest to lowest yielding hybrids. "No other decision can make that large of an impact," said Fritz Behr, PhD, vice president of research at Wyffels Hybrids.
Bill Jay, who farms just west of Champaign, typically makes his hybrid decisions shortly after harvest. He plants corn from several different companies, bases a lot of his decisions on what has worked well in the past on his ground and focuses on base genetics.
"We have corn rootworm pressure in this area, so I plant some traited seed with above- and below-ground insect control, but I mostly concentrate on good base genetics. That means a lot more to us than what's stacked on to it."
According to Behr, review the following factors when selecting corn hybrids for next year:
- Your geography, number of growing degree days, soil type and drainage
- Prevalent disease and insect problems
- Fertility choices
- Local yield / performance data across multiple years and multiple sources including universities, grower associations, seed companies and on-farm strip trials
- Available data, products and new technology from a knowledgeable seed representative
- Harvestability and root lodging resistance
- Stalk strength and greensnap resistance
- Disease resistance that matches your past disease pressure
- Reaction to drought stress
- Test weight
- Dry down
Behr also recommends planting a selection of hybrids with different maturities and genetics to help manage both the risk of summer heat stress with pollination timing and the workload at harvest. "Since we can't predict what kind of growing season we'll have, it's best to plant 25% early maturing hybrids, 50% mid-range and 25% late maturing hybrids," he said.
The second-ranked practice in the Minnesota trials, crop rotation, affected 4 to 19% of yield. Research generally demonstrates a yield improvement for corn following soybeans or alfalfa, however, some growers take advantage of the high yield potential that continuous corn can offer when prices are right.
A relatively small percentage of Jay's fields are continuous corn, but he understands the extra steps needed when selecting hybrids. "You really have to be particular with your corn-on-corn hybrids," he said. "Some are stronger, can withstand the stress and have better disease resistance. We manage those acres a lot more carefully, not just with the hybrids we select, but also applying fungicides and other practices."

A day after electing their first African-American president, Southern Baptists were considering a resolution Wednesday opposing the idea that gay rights are the same as civil rights.
A day after electing their first African-American president, Southern Baptists were considering a resolution Wednesday opposing the idea that gay rights are the same as civil rights.
The resolution up for a vote at the denomination's annual meeting in New Orleans affirms Southern Baptists' beliefs that marriage is "the exclusive union of one man and one woman" and that "all sexual behavior outside of marriage is sinful."
It acknowledges that gays and lesbians sometimes experience "unique struggles" but declares that they lack the "distinguishing features of classes entitled to special protections."
"It is regrettable that homosexual rights activists and those who are promoting the recognition of 'same-sex marriage' have misappropriated the rhetoric of the Civil Rights Movement," the resolution states.
Another resolution to be considered Wednesday is intended to protect religious liberty. It includes a call for the U.S. Justice Department to cease efforts to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act and for the Obama administration to ensure that military personnel and chaplains can freely express their religious convictions about homosexuality.
It also condemns the administration's mandate requiring religiously affiliated institutions, but not houses of worship, to provide contraceptive coverage in their insurance plans.
Leaders of several other faiths and Christian denominations, especially Roman Catholics, have also organized and filed lawsuits against Obama administration policies that they see as threatening religious expression.
David W. Key Sr., director of Baptist Studies at Emory University's Candler School of Theology, said that as gays and lesbians become accepted in the larger American society, the Southern Baptist Convention is trying to separate itself from some of the more hateful rhetoric while still staying true to its beliefs.
The resolution on civil rights includes a statement that the SBC stands against "any form or gay-bashing, whether disrespectful attitudes, hateful rhetoric, or hate-incited actions."
But even with those disclaimers, statements such as this one could hurt evangelism efforts because they are likely to be objectionable to many people who are "not necessarily affirming, but also not rejecting" of gay rights issues, Key said.
Key said the Southern Baptists have continued to be outspoken on issues regarding gays and lesbians where other denominations with similar beliefs have not made the same type of public statements or taken the same types of actions, such as a boycott of The Walt Disney Co. for its gay-friendly policies.
The civil rights resolution comes at the same time the 16-million strong Nashville-based denomination is taking stands in other areas that will help it reach out to new members and distance itself from its image as a denomination of Southern white conservatives.
The election of the Rev. Fred Luter Jr. on Tuesday as the first African American president of the nation's largest Protestant denomination was hailed as historic by denomination leaders who see it as a sign that Southern Baptists have truly moved beyond a divisive racial past.
In a news conference after the vote, Luter said he doesn't think his election is some kind of token gesture.
"If we stop appointing African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics to leadership positions after this, we've failed," he said. "... I promise you I'm going to do all that I can to make sure this is not just a one-and-done deal."
Delegates to the annual meeting also voted to adopt an alternative name for churches that feel the "Southern Baptist" title could be a turn-off to potential believers.
Supporters of the optional name "Great Commission Baptists" argued it would help missionaries and church planters to reach more people for Christ.

One of the big complaints we've seen recently regarding the anti-harassment-policy campaign, the question of feminism intersecting with our communities, and the question of whether the assholes in our movement represent the movement, is whether the feminists and anti-bigots are blowing things out of proportion. How often have you seen someone say "the whole community doesn't have a problem with [X-brand bigotry], only a very small subset"? Often enough, I bet, that I hardly feel the need to repeat these arguments or point to any specific ones, though I'm certain I could give you a dozen or so with a quick search of my own blog's comments. Never mind big names like Thunderf00t and Paula Kirby making it the entire premise to their opposition to harassment policies and to "feminazis" and "FTBullies"!
So the question, then, is why does this argument gain so much traction? No matter how measured we are with describing the scope and scale of the problem, people will always say we're making mountains out of mole hills. I posit this is because of the availability heuristic — a cognitive bias wherein, when you're presented with specific examples of a problem, it is easier to remember those examples, and you assign improper levels of importance to them.

Agriculture, or husbandry is the art, science, or practice of producing food, feed, fiber, and many other desired goods by the systematic raising of plants (from seeds to make beans and vegetables) and animals. It is commonly referred to as farming. In actual usage, agriculture denotes a broad array of activities essential to food and material production, including all techniques for raising and processing livestock no less than those essential to crop planting and harvesting.
Agricultural management Edit
Many planetary governments had people or departments dedicated solely to agriculture:
- In 2374, the government of Andor had an Agricultural Ministry. (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")
- Nilz Baris was the Federation's Undersecretary for Agriculture in 2268. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles")
- Arne Darvin was an assistant to Nilz Baris, the Federation Undersecretary for Agriculture, also in 2268. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles")
- In 2374, the planet Balancar had an Agricultural Consortium. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")
- The Bajoran Provisional Government has a Agricultural Ministry in 2371. (DS9: "Shakaar")
- Kukulkan was an ancient being that visited Earth in the distant past and taught Humans new agricultural techniques. (TAS: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth")
Agricultural planets and planetary regions Edit
Certain planets and regions of planets are better suited for agriculture than others:
- A farm on the Akaali homeworld was chosen to be the landing site for a landing party from Enterprise NX-01 in 2151 to minimize the risk of cultural contamination. (ENT: "Civilization")
- The US state of Iowa on Earth was traditionally associated with agriculture, so much that the term "farm-boy" was used to refer to a well-known native as early (through time travel) as 1986 and as late as 2255. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek)
- The Ketha Province on the planet Qo'noS was an impoverished area dominated by agricultural usage. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
- The Dahkur Province was a region on Bajor dominated by agricultural use. (DS9: "Shakaar")
- The Rakantha Province was a region on Bajor that once had very productive agricultural lands. (DS9: "Shakaar", "Resurrection")
- The Brunali were an agricultural species whose homeworld was in the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Collective")
- The planet Camor V had one agricultural area on the southern continent. (TNG: "Bloodlines")
- The planet Ventax II became an entirely agrarian society, following the creation of the story of Ardra. (TNG: "Devil's Due")
- The planet Bootes III was otherwise known as "a farm planet". The farming there was tended by automatic machinery as well as a few Humans, which included Eve McHuron and her brothers. (TOS: "Mudd's Women")
Agricultural colonies Edit
Colonies were generally – although not always – civilian outposts established for agricultural or commercial purposes. The following colonies have been mentioned specifically as having an agricultural purpose:
- The Bajoran colony of New Bajor had an extensive irrigation system, ostensibly for farming. (DS9: "Crossover")
- The colony on Cygnia Minor experienced a severe food shortage in 2266. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")
- The Cerberus colony experienced a crop failure in 2259. (TAS: "The Survivor")
- Coltar IV was the location of a farming colony in 2364. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris")
- Gault was a colony that was widely regarded as a "farm-world". (TNG: "Heart of Glory")
- The Omicron colony was an agricultural colony on the planet Omicron Ceti III. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")
- In 2268, Beta XII-A was a planet with a Human agricultural colony of a hundred persons. (TOS: "Day of the Dove")
Agricultural occupations Edit
Agricultural products Edit
- Animals
- Beans
- Grains and wheats
- Plants and vegetables
- Seeds

Saying a "crisis of unprecedented proportions" exists, textile and clothing trade associations meeting in Brussels, Belgium, are asking for an emergency meeting of the World Trade Organization to delay the expiration of worldwide textile and apparel quotas on Jan. 1.
Spokesmen for the organizations said they believe that China could achieve a "near-monopoly" of the world textile and apparel market if nothing is done about the quota expiration. China has denied its textile industry poses a threat to the remainder of the world's textile manufacturers.
"The expiration of worldwide textile and apparel quotas represents a crisis of unprecedented proportions," said Suleyman Orakcioglu, chairman of ITKIB Association in Turkey, in a press statement issued from the meeting in Brussels.
"Up to 30 million textile and clothing manufacturing workers will lose their jobs and $200 billion in world marketshare will be lost if one or two countries monopolize the world's textile and clothing market."
A communiqué issued by textile and clothing trade associations from the 47 countries represented at the meeting expressed support for a three-year extension of the quotas; implementation of automatic safeguard mechanisms to prevent disruptive surges of textile and clothing imports; and expedited and effective remedies to unfair trading practices employed by certain major suppliers.
"The WTO has two choices: It can do nothing and witness a massive economic catastrophe, or it can take decisive action to insure that world trade in textiles and clothing is not disrupted," said Jean-Francois Gribimont, outgoing Eurocoton president. "Clearly, the latter is the only way to preserve economic stability."
U.S. textile manufacturers have been warning for years that China's escalating exports to the United States posed a major threat to their industry. But textile mill executives in other countries have only recently begun to recognize the impact China's exports could have on their sales.
Those concerns led to 76 organizations in those countries signing the Istanbul Declaration, a document drafted at a meeting in Istanbul earlier this year. The associations organized the most recent meeting in Brussels.
"Clearly it is time for governments to act," said Allen Gant, chairman of the National Council of Textile Organizations in the United States, which helped organize the Brussels meeting. "Summit attendees are urging all governments whose textile and apparel industries are at risk to petition the WTO for an emergency meeting."
China already controls more than 75 percent of the market in developed countries such as Japan and Australia that have no quotas on textile and apparel imports, said Cass Johnson, president of the NCTO.
"In the United States, in apparel categories released from quotas on Jan. 1, 2002, China jumped from 9 percent marketshare to 65 percent marketshare as of March 2004," he said. "To make matters worse, Chinese marketshare in these categories is still increasing.
"So there is no need to speculate on what will happen after quotas expire on Jan. 1, 2005."
Other officials said they have read reports that China is shipping goods to bonded warehouses in the United States so they can move them into U.S. retailers' hands as soon as quotas expire.
"One major U.S. apparel company announced that they were moving nearly 4,000 jobs from North America to East Asia in anticipation of the expiration of quotas," said Auggie Tantillo, executive director of the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition. "If nothing is done soon, millions of jobs will be at risk worldwide even before quotas expire."
"We need fair trade so the global economy can be disciplined. This is not protectionism but a fight against a monopoly by China," said Ziya Sukun, executive director of the ITKIB Association of New York. "This is an international crisis. Every major region of the world will suffer substantial job losses if nothing is done about China."

Watch Your Back, Google
A secret skunk works team inside Facebook is working to improve search | It's "the best form of monetization on the Web by far, and they are leaving that on the table"
Douglas MacMillan and Brad Stone, with Dina Bass
On Feb. 1, a few hours after Facebook declared its intention to raise $5 billion in what will likely be the largest initial public offering in tech history, Mark Zuckerberg gave close followers of his company a potential clue to its future. On his Facebook profile, he uploaded a photograph of his desk and a large sign that read in big red letters, "Stay focused & keep shipping." Yet it was the adjacent MacBook laptop in the image that drew the most attention. Visible on the computer's screen was a blurry image of a Facebook page and, at the top, what seemed to be an unusually elongated white box. Web pundits speculated the image showed a prototype of a new Facebook search engine.
To date, Facebook hasn't made search a priority, and it shows. The prominent white box at the top of each page is good at helping users find other members. It'll also spit back Facebook pages for brands and locations, recent status updates from friends, and general Web search results powered by Microsoft's Bing search engine. It's a crude tool, however. Type in "Sonoma winery," for example, and you get a disorganized assortment of wineries, people who work at wineries, unrelated banner ads, and a page for a wine-tasting iPhone app. In February, Facebook fielded 336 million search queries, according to ComScore — magnitudes fewer than Google and its closest competitors.
Searching the social network could get a lot better in the near future. About two dozen Facebook engineers, led by a former Google engineer named Lars Rasmussen, are working on an improved search engine, say two people familiar with the project who did not want to be named because the company is in a quiet period ahead of its IPO. The goal, they say, is to help users better sift through the volume of content that members create on the site, such as status updates, and the articles, videos, and other information across the Web that people "like" using Facebook's omnipresent thumbs-up button.
The $15 billion search advertising market could be a huge opportunity for the company. It's also a way to attack a chief rival, Google, which is moving in the opposite direction, from search to social, with its incipient Google+ network. With a more potent search engine, Facebook's wine-loving users might be able to query the closest wineries that have been liked most often. That would give people one fewer reason to leave the site's walled garden. Facebook could also follow the lead of companies such as Google and Microsoft and start selling relevant — and profitable — keyword ads alongside results. "Search is the best form of monetization on the Web by far, and they are leaving that on the table," says Doug Leeds, chief executive officer of search engine Ask.com. "From a business perspective, you have to think about going into search."
Facebook is unlikely to go toe-to-toe with Google for algorithmic supremacy. While Google controls 67 percent of the search market in the U.S. and has sophisticated technology to track a trillion Web pages, Facebook employs few, if any, traditional search engineers, who typically have deep expertise in fields such as information retrieval and natural language processing. But the company has a lot of social data it can apply to the problem of organizing information. Instead of crawling and ranking the whole Web, as Google does, Facebook already allows users to avidly flag the most interesting content, such as the best articles, recipes, and shopping deals. Improving Facebook search in some ways means just making more effective use of that data.
Google has recently attempted to integrate social data from Google+ into its results, but many critics consider it an awkward step that dilutes accuracy. Facebook may have more success, given its natural strengths in adding social elements to the Web. Gil Elbaz, CEO of data-crunching startup Factual and co-creator of the business that became Google's highly profitable AdSense network, says Facebook's data about its users and what they like could prove important. "Over time, this will let them build a powerful structured search engine," he says.
Rasmussen, the Google veteran, is an interesting choice to help Facebook elevate its search game. A Danish computer scientist with a salt-and-pepper goatee, he co-founded mapping software company Where 2 Technologies, sold it to Google in 2004, and helped create Google Maps. Rasmussen later went on to build, with his brother Jens, the online communication and collaboration tool Google Wave, which was criticized for being too complex and was shuttered. Rasmussen jumped to Facebook in 2010 after a personal pitch from Zuckerberg. He told the Sydney Morning Herald that year, "I do think that social is a significantly less explored area still than search, and it is sort of the frontier of technology in many ways. But that doesn't mean in any way that search is obsolete or even close to being obsolete." Rasmussen's brother remains at Google, adding a sibling rivalry twist to the competition between the tech giants.
A Facebook spokesman declined to comment on what Rasmussen is working on. If the engineer is looking to make the search box on Facebook more useful, he will face plenty of obstacles. Users see and rate only a fraction of the Web's content — mostly material that is new — so Facebook may have a difficult time including more obscure content in search results. The site also continues to work with Bing and has to avoid ruffling feathers there. Zuckerberg meets every few months with Qi Lu, president of Microsoft's online-services division, says a person familiar with the partnership, and in 2010 Bing began personalizing results based on what a user's Facebook friends "like."
Still, the search opportunity may prove irresistible. After Facebook goes public, likely in May, Zuckerberg will have to contend with investors who want him to cultivate new sources of revenue. Greg Sterling, a senior analyst at Opus Research, says Facebook could quickly become the second-most popular search engine if it tackles the problem in earnest. "There's a huge amount of revenue waiting to be unlocked if they want to explore search-based pay-per-click advertising," he says. "They can leverage the data and demographic information they already have." Only then will that blurry photo of Facebook's potential new search box come into focus.
The bottom line Facebook is revamping its search engine, which could help it take a part of the $15 billion search advertising market.

The 2017 Keith Brabant Music Scholarship Festival will be held on June 3, 2017 at Cerow Park Pavilion, Graves Street, Clayton, NY. KeithFest is a family friendly community event that celebrates the importance of music in our lives. This is a major fundraising effort with proceeds going to the Keith Brabant Music Scholarship administered by the Northern New York Community Foundation.
Keith Brabant, a musician/composer born in Clayton, NY, believed that introducing children to music early in life, during their school years, was important for the appreciation of music throughout a person's life. He also believed that financial constraints should not prevent interested young people from pursuing their musical dreams.
This scholarship has been created in honor of Keith, who died in 2010, at age 33, but left a wonderful legacy of music for all. During his life Keith worked constantly to develop his musical talent, here in the North Country as well as in Colorado and Washington State. He toured throughout the western states sharing his music; while always finding time to enjoy nature – hiking, biking, and skiing – and the people he met along the way. Keith taught many young people to appreciate the gift of music and with this scholarship we are helping many others to pursue their own musical goals, and ensure Keith's legacy continues.

Laura's Bright White & Functional Kitchen
Laura is a Southern California native living in the rainy Northwest. Her native land is so apparent in her home; especially in the kitchen. She made a bright white and completely functional kitchen look absolutely effortless.
While there isn't anything particularly out of the ordinary or exceptionally sensational — this kitchen is a completely success. Its simplicity is what makes it so great and functional.
The all white cabinets and simple black trim on the edge of the countertops is such a refined element. The strategic use of black countertop appliances and wall art really plays up the subtle touches of black and breaks up the bright white. The chalkboard paint wall certainly helps add some interest as well!

New York: Young children who snore a lot or have other breathing problems at night may have a heightened risk of behavioral and emotional problems later on, a new study suggests.
The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, is not the first to link behavioral issues to so-called sleep-disordered breathing -- where children chronically snore, mouth-breathe or seem to stop breathing for several seconds at a time as they sleep (what doctors call "apnea").
"We didn`t invent the association," noted lead researcher Karen Bonuck, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
But, she said, this is the largest study yet to look at the question, following more than 13,000 children from infancy to the age of seven.
Of those kids, 45 percent remained free of nighttime breathing problems, based on parents` reports. The rest had symptoms at some point during infancy or early childhood.
Eight percent of the children fell into what the researchers dubbed the "worst case" group; they had breathing symptoms that "peaked" between the ages of two and three, and then persisted.
Overall, Bonuck`s team found, children with sleep-disordered breathing at any time were more likely to develop symptoms of behavioral or emotional disorders -- like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or anxiety -- by age seven.
About 13.5 percent had such symptoms at age seven, versus just over eight percent of kids who`d been free of sleep-disordered breathing.
And the biggest risk was seen in the worst-case group. By age 7, nearly 18 percent of those kids had possible behavioral or emotional disorders.
The researchers can`t say for sure whether all of those children had outright disorders, such as ADHD. Their results are based on a screening questionnaire given to parents. And the children would have to be further evaluated to get a diagnosis, Bonuck explained.
What`s more, it`s not certain that the breathing problems are directly to blame.
But, Bonuck said, the researchers did factor in a range of variables that could help account for the link -- like parents` income and education, race, birthweight and whether moms smoked during pregnancy.
"Even considering all those variables, overall, sleep-disordered breathing seemed to have the strongest effect," Bonuck said.
Among the "worst case" kids, for example, sleep-disordered breathing was linked to a 72 percent increase in the risk of behavioral and emotional symptoms at age seven -- even with other factors considered.
"This provides strong evidence that the (breathing) symptoms we looked at could promote these behavioral and emotional symptoms," Bonuck said.
Still, she stressed, no one is saying sleep-disordered breathing is the whole story. "Certainly, emotional and behavioral disorders are multi-factorial," Bonuck said.
As for parents, she advised "not panicking."
"But parents can pay attention to their child`s breathing," Bonuck said. "And if they have a concern, they should ask their pediatrician about it."
"What (the study) found is intuitively what we`d expect to see," said Dr. Sanjeev V. Kothare, interim medical director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children`s Hospital Boston.
Kothare, who was not involved in the study, agreed that parents should talk to their pediatrician if they notice their child is snoring and has other tell-tale symptoms.
Those, he said, may include not only mouth-breathing and episodes of apnea, but also "daytime behaviors" like sleepiness or, on the other end of the spectrum, hyperactivity.
Kothare noted that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) already recommends that pediatricians should screen all children for snoring and, if needed, refer them to a sleep center for further evaluation.
So it`s important, Kothare said, for parents to be aware of kids` snoring.
If a child does have sleep-disordered breathing, there are a number of potential treatments. In many kids, especially 3- to 6-year-olds, the problem is caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids, and removing the tissue can improve nighttime breathing -- as well as daytime symptoms, Kothare noted.
For other children, excess pounds feed the nighttime breathing problems, and most will improve if they shed the extra weight, according to the AAP.
Another treatment option is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), where children wear a special mask that delivers steady air pressure through the nose while they sleep.

Laurel Park Town Council members decided to continue moving forward with a Rhododendron Lake Park stream restoration plan Tuesday despite opposition from a town commissioner and group of residents that wants to implement an alternate plan for the site.
LAUREL PARK — Town Council members decided to move forward with a Rhododendron Lake Park stream restoration plan Tuesday, despite opposition from one town commissioner and a group of residents that wants to implement an alternate plan.
The plan, prepared by Clearwater Environmental Consultants and Hunter Marks, relocates a stream through the middle of the 6.5-acre park away from Lake Drive, where erosion has occurred. The stream restoration plan comes with a price tag of about $250,000 and will be funded through a conservation easement from French Broad Mitigation Partners.
Another plan was devised by landscape architect Larry Hulquist to route the stream into an existing pond. That plan would cost anywhere from $375,000 to $725,000 and take 18 to 24 months for design, permits and mitigation of the project, according to a review by Lapsley & Associates, a civil engineering consulting and land planning firm.
Hulquist said he's concerned the park would lose green space with the first plan. But town officials said the cost of the alternative plan is a major concern.
The additional cost and time it would take are "above and beyond this budget for engineering and assessment," said Mayor Carey O'Cain. "This is not the path that I recommend out town pursue."
"There are no funding sources identified outside of town's budget at this moment for the Hulquist project," added Town Manager Jim Ball.
Commissioner Rich Cooke was the sole opponent in the 3-1 vote to move forward with the stream relocation plan, saying he felt the council pushed through the process without public input.
"We made decisions in a vacuum," he said.
O'Cain said there have been council work sessions, board meetings and open discussions for years, along with newsletters to residents from the town, about the project.
The Rhododendron Lake Park discussion was initiated in 1989 by the Laurel Park Civic Association. A few years ago, Laurel Park bought the land and created a Parks and Greenways Advisory Board, which has discussed plans for the park since then.
O'Cain said there are ideas in the alternative plan that could be incorporated with the stream restoration design. He also said a public meeting will be held on the issue in January.

Can You Guess the Celebrity Cleavage?
This fantastic pair of Golden Globes doesn't belong to a Golden Globes winner, but she is on a very popular TV show that might one day earn the star the actual trophy. Before she went for broke on TV, she appeared in several popular films. Her breakout role was on 'Sex and The City' where she did, oh who knows, we never watched that crap. She stared in movies with virgins, gods, bunnies and even a guy in drag.
Many men will marvel at her fantastic cleavage but this actress is also a video blogger. She comes from smart stock - her mother is a poet and speech therapist and her father a molecular pharmacologist and college professor. She was home schooled because of her acting roles, and her parents weren't really sold on her career choice at the start, calling it "the worst idea ever." Luckily, she is now a success, and wearing dresses like the one above was "the best idea ever." We're not going to wait 40 years to tell you the answer, so check out who is attached to that phenomenal rack.

Something that allows people to post long paragraphs at once...There are two old-school fantasy games - Respite and Adventurers upon Return, there's Starkin, there's Bleak Wood and Kuramen...You know what we miss? All these games are exploratory, with frequent GM input required; we should do something heavily roleplay-based, with lots of character, NPC and location development, and based on a city, fort, or whatever we call home. We should do something where characters are not drifters.How about that?
Interesting, I can do something along those lines but it would require some thought.
If there is any chance the characters die of old age in bed, I'd play a gene-mod squint. Biochemist, medic perchance.
Ah, I understand what you are saying. There is a chance your character could suffer a horrific death, but half of CthulhuTech is Anime, which is all about not dying horrific deaths.

Were is it possible to buy such printed tulle? it's really beautiful, but I haven't found anything similar online anywhere!
Jul 22, 2011, 06.28 PMby queensamarah
I just stumbled on this and am very excited. For a wedding, I'm thinking about doing the underskirt as a top layer of Alencon Lace, followed by layers of sequins silk georgette and tulle. All monocrome.

She looks so happy being showered with glitter, but then who wouldn't be??
Apr 7, 2011, 08.11 PMby emaileanne
I think as a mini dress this would be spectacular. I agree with candigirl—-it's just too much as it is now. Drop the underskirt, the neckline embellishments and the hemline gathering. Those elements all detract from the really gorgeous details of this design.
Feb 2, 2011, 04.19 AMby hothgirl
Picked up fabric for this and am excited to start it! Not sure what to expect with the fit and I only have a short time to get this done before the event. This should be a fun little dress to wear, I just hope it comes together quickly!
Nov 29, 2009, 02.56 AMby manuela
Gorgeous dress! I really love it!
Nov 21, 2009, 08.42 AMby harssoup
This is the dress I want to use for my wedding! Maybe in a cream color or black and white. Some other pattern on the bottom maybe repeated for the belt? Ahh Ohh I wish…Dreaming…
Aug 27, 2009, 03.14 AMby salamancatree
i remember seeing this dress back when it was posted over a year ago. i instantly fell in love an wished that my 2009 prom dress could be as gorgeous! unfortunately i lack the sewing skills and i was not able to go to a dressmaker in time so i missed out. but things will turn out much differently this year! i stumbled upon burdastyle on etsy and saw they were selling this sample. i had to have it!! so it is with great joy that i will dawn this gorgeous dress of my dream on not only my senior prom night, but my birthday as well :) i am so excited and i want to thank burdastyle for making such a beautiful and stunning gown…i am honored to be able to wear it!

Everything about this dress is delightful. It is wonderfully different. Eclectic at its best. The satin and light weight floral fabric combo is something special.
Aug 12, 2009, 04.12 PMby ohbegrey
stunning dress!! a little busy, "beads" at neckline are distracting and do not match the "feel" of the rest of the dress – my preference would be to leave them off. i would like to see the dress done entirely in a solid color—the red is lush!!—with foot and leg wear same color—this would be quite elegant. and the young woman modeling the dress is elegance incarnate! i do like the red/blue combination—this pattern offers room for many interpretations. in my opinion, this dress is great for prom as well as weddings. as for many girls these days wearing less, dare to be different—you will stand out from the crowd by not wearing " the uniform"…
Apr 15, 2009, 08.47 AMby candigirl
I am sorry, but this dress just has waaaaaay too much going on for me…the red plastic stick ons around the neckline, the (oddly) pinned up boofy hem, and the floral net underskirt are just too many visuals..where do you look? What is the focus here? And I have to admit, when I first glanced at the multiple views, I thought it was a maternity gown…then I saw "Prom" in the description and I thought.."wow, are they making prom maternity now?" hahaha….well, to each his/her own..I am sure there are many admirers of this, but just my two cents….thanks!

Hey! How much did you quote luhhfashion for making the dress??
Dec 29, 2008, 06.18 PMby doctorwho-1
I can't wait for my own prom this June. This dress is gorgeous. It's very steampunk and its something that, after prom, I could use in cosplays.
Nov 12, 2008, 02.00 PMby nysister
Stunning. it gives me an idea for a dress to wear to a Dances of Vice event.

its so lovely! and my prom is coming up so i was wondering if u can make me one. just gimme ur price please :) i would be so honored to wear this dress!

This dress is stunning!

is it just me… i can't see a how-to guide anywhere in this pdf? or is it in the original $3.50 Heidi? xxx
Apr 23, 2008, 07.05 AMby barbaraagatha
Wel, honestly, I might be put off by the strong color, but I think this might be a little much for a prom dress. i agree that this variation would make a great wedding dress. But as a prom dress…umh, I think girls are wearing a lot less these days
Apr 16, 2008, 07.35 PMby i-have-stars-for-hands
this is very nice. if you're going to make your own prom dress you should definitely start now. i'm working my skills up to this dress :) i'm not there yet…not there for a while :)
Apr 16, 2008, 08.32 AMby enero
Great style, can't wait to see some creations!
Apr 15, 2008, 07.31 PMby calicocouture
This is gorgeous. Too bad I have no occasion for it. I may have to find one lol
Apr 15, 2008, 01.43 PMby vanessa

I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.

My adventure into the digital art world began in early 1984, shortly after purchasing my first computer, a Macintosh 128K. The Macintosh came with a copy of MacPaint, which I immediately began experimenting with. First with illustrations and in 1985, with the addition of a Thunderscan scanner, I began editing my own photos years before the term digital photography would become known. IMO, the computer is the most powerful creative tool yet conceived. Over the last quarter century I've been able to experiment with desktop publishing, music creation, audio visual production, 2D vector illustration, interactive & interface design, object oriented programming, digital photography, video editing, 3D modeling, animation, lenticular imaging,...

Stumbling and Sniffing Wireless Networks in Linux, Part 3
Wiresharking and RogueScannering
Last month, we started this series to help you survey and analyze the airwaves with Linux tools. In the first part, we looked at SWScanner after reviewing some basic stumbling and sniffing information. Then in the second part, we discovered KwiFiManager and tcpdump.
Now we're going to use a GUI-based network sniffer/analyzer, Wireshark. Plus we'll discover two intrusion detection tools designed to help detect rogue APs and devices on the network. Lets get started!
Visually sniffing with Wireshark
If you don't particularly enjoy the command-line or are a Linux newbie, you might want to stick with using a GUI-based sniffer. Additionally, using a visual application can provide a faster and more in-depth inspection of your network traffic. We're going to look at Wireshark, a popular cross-platform network analyzer, formally named Ethereal.
Once you open Wireshark, click Capture > Interfaces and click the Start button for the desired interface to start capturing. Packets should start appearing, such as seen in Figure 1. To inspect a packet, select it from the list. Then you can browse through the packet details and see the actual contents in HEX and ASCII.
To prevent Wireshark from resolving hostnames or port names, click Capture > Interfaces and hit the Options button for the desired interface. Then in the bottom-right corner of the Options window, change the Name Resolution settings as you wish.
If you want to understand a TCP connection better, right-click it and select Follow TCP Stream. This should show you the entire conversation in a more human readable format. For example, Figure 2 shows the stream of an email message I sent to myself--this shows why you need to use SSL connections for email; otherwise messages are in clear-text.
Figure 2: Using Wireshark to view a TCP conversation, particularly the sending of a message via SMTP.
Like with tcpdump, you can use filters/expressions in Wireshark. Simply type them in the Filter box, above the packet list, and hit Enter. You can also directly enter a protocol, such as ICMP, DHCP, or FTP, or field name to see all packets involving it. To reference a list of these protocols and fields, click the Expression button. To remove the filter and show all the packets again, click the Clear button.
Discovering Devices on the Network with RogueScanner
While you're sniffing the airwaves or snooping in on the traffic, you might want to take a look at what devices are on the network too. You might find a wireless AP that an employee has plugged in or someone using the network with unauthorized device. There are full-fledged intrusion detection systems (IDS), but sometimes you just want a quick look.
RogueScanner provides a quick and simple list of all IP devices on the network. It will display the MAC addresses and vendor/model information in addition to the IP addresses. Plus the tool factors the variables and outputs a risk score to help you identify possible rouges.
Unfortunately, RogueScanner doesn't provide any alerting features. However, you might want to check into Paglo's full-fleged network management solution--free for use with up to 20 devices. The network discovery tool, Paglo Crawler, is also open source, available for both Windows and Linux.

Cybersecurity Bill: Protecting Us From Attacks... Or Keeping Our Own Attacks Secret?
from the seems-quite-likely dept
(d) DELAY OF NOTIFICATION AUTHORIZED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, NATIONAL SECURITY, OR HOMELAND SECURITY PURPOSES.—No civil or criminal cause of action shall lie or be maintained in any Federal or Statecourt against any entity, and any such action shall be dismissed promptly, for a failure to disclose a cybersecurity threat indicator if—What's odd about this? Well, it suggests that it says that companies might not get in legal trouble if they don't disclose info. But, as we're constantly reminded, the whole point of the info sharing from companies in this bill is that it's voluntary. So there wouldn't be any cause of action generally when they choose not to share. But, as Rosenzweig thinks through it, there is another scenario where this could come into play: if a company wanted to share info but was stopped -- perhaps because that info implicated the US government itself:(1) the Attorney General or the Secretary determines that disclosure of a cybersecurity threat indicator would impede a civil or criminal investigation and submits a written request to delay notification for up to 30 days, except that the Attorney General or the Secretary may, by a subsequent written request, revoke such delay or extend the period of time set forth in the original request made under this paragraph if further delay is necessary;
(2) the Secretary, the Attorney General, or the Director of National Intelligence determines that disclosure of a cybersecurity threat indicator would threaten national or homeland security and submits a written request to delay notification, except that the Secretary, the Attorney General, or the Director,may, by a subsequent written request, revoke such delay or extend the period of time set forth in the original request made under this paragraph if further delay is necessary.
I suppose there is another possibility as well – that they might want to stop temporarily the sharing of CTI when the threat being disclosed is one that has been created by .... Well, NSA. In fact, if you believe that, then the reason the government so much wants to be at the center of CTI sharing is not just to protect the public but also to protect its own methods.This actually makes a fair amount of sense. Remember, the only two serious cases of digital attacks that we know of -- Stuxnet and Flame -- both appear to have originated from US government officials, and both eventually got out when security firms discovered their existence, and tried to make sense of the malware. So, perhaps part of the "urgency" in trying to pass this bill is to help silence researchers who discover what other malware the US government has put out itself!

- pieces Everything is diced into small(except the carrots which he shreds):
- Spinach
- green onions or onions
- carrots shredded
- green pepper
- cauliflower
- broccoli
- green olives
- zucchini
- tomatoes
- mushrooms
- Scott usually also adds chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans or even sunflower nuts).
- He's been known to add Morning Star's prime griller veggie burgers, chopped, very good in the salad!
- Can also add cubed or shredded cheese.
- Black beans or garbanzo beans are a yummy addition, and add protein.
- Toss all together with an equal mix of olive oil and Italian dressing to taste but be careful not to add too much as the veggies will add juice too.
- Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top is awesome when serving.
- It's also wonderful served in pita pockets.
Terri's Notes
- A "chopped salad" simply means that all of the ingredients have been chopped uniformly and then either arranged on a platter or tossed together. The juices and flavors of fresh veggies, chilled meats, cheese, and herbs or seasonings meld together in a rich blend that cuts way down on the amount of dressing needed! Highly popular on either coast and easy to eat, you can add any combination of seasonal foods you enjoy or happen to have on hand. Or decide on a theme, Mediterranean, Mexican, Asian . . . get your creative juices flowing!
- This is a wonderful way to get children involved and teach them about flavor combinations, how to use kitchen tools . . . and they do eat more of what they've helped to prepare.

Without an update in years, Final Cut Pro users were feeling frustrated by the lack of love Steve Jobs has been showing them. Adobe has capitalized on this by quietly but steadily improving its Creative Suite, especially in regards to Premiere Pro and After Effects. With the release of CS5 last year, they smartly targeted DSLR filmmakers, who want to be able to work natively with their H.264 files.

"We are at the point in this program where anytime our name is out and showing we are pursuing excellence, moving up in the rankings and being recognized is all very good," said Lipscomb cross country coach Bill Taylor. "But I don't want to overstate it.
"It is just ranking. It means little in the scope of things, but we are one of the top 15 teams in some people's opinion in the South Region. We are on the same list as Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Auburn."
Taylor stressed his team is moving in the right direction as the runners continue to develop, especially the freshmen.
"It means people are paying attention and our name is out there," said Taylor. "If we are ranked 15th team in the region in every poll the rest of the season it will be a very positive thing. We have beaten several ranked teams this season already like Georgia State and the University of Mississippi."
The Bisons finished 24th out of 38 teams in the Greater Louisville race Saturday. Ryan Chastain led the Bisons, but Taylor listed several runners as surprises in terms of their finishes.
"I thought the guys ran really hard," said Taylor. "I think Ryan is starting to get back to where he was last year. He is taking it to the next level. I think he is going to improve dramatically during the rest of the season.
"It was an interesting jumble. I guess that is the value of having some depth, but it wasn't our best effort yet. I thought Jeff Musick had his best race since he has been here. Ashton Fisher ran well. Mike Yang was up higher. And Trace Carlson probably had his best race ever for us."
Taylor stressed that the polls don't have an effect on the team in terms of preparation and performance.
"The rankings don't determine how we train, how we race or how we look at things," said Taylor. "I kind of wondered when we dropped out after the second week if that would be it for the year. I think it is really positive that people are still watching us.
"We were 24th in Louisville in a great race with a lot of good teams. But that is not where we want to be. We want to be better than that."

Are we playing Big Blue or Inner Blue?
Wide OPen is BIG BLUE, this isn't a Wide Open preparedness, but may be similar in locations on BIG BLUE, there isn't a mix of Big Blue and Little Blue, there is either one. Wide Open will be BIG BLUE, as will the City Of Fountains, will be BIG BLUE. We have enough daylight to make it happen for both.

The wait time to get in to see your primary care doctor is expected to get even longer in the coming years.
Continue Reading Below
The shortage of primary care doctors is only expected to get worse once health-care reform is enacted next year, leaving patients grappling with how and where they will get their medical care and at what cost.
"We already have a serious shortage of primary care physicians in many places in the U.S.," says Dr. Paul Griner, professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and author. "In Boston, some 90% of all primary care practices are full and trying to get a new appointment if you are new to town or changing doctors is almost impossible."
Research estimates that over the next 15 years there will be a shortage of more than 150,000 physicians in the nation but there are options to ensure you care won't falter if you find yourself without a primary care doctor.
Experts suggest people looking for a primary care physician get creative with their search and better evaluate what kind of doctor best fits their needs.
"People can go to a neighbor and ask them to convince their doctor to take them as a new patient or they can call around to various hospitals and find out who is taking new patients," says Griner who also authored The Power of Patient Stories: Learning Moments in Medicine. "The can also ask their previous physician if he or she will help out by contacting a new physician."
Online websites can make the search process more speedy and thorough.
For instance, ZocDoc, helps users find and book appointments with local doctors. The free service shows doctors' last-minute cancellations, enabling people to see doctors within 24 to 72 hours. Calling your health insurer to find a list of applicable doctors can also help narrow a search.
"There are tons of doctors throughout the country who are still growing their practices, bringing on new patients and are invested in taking care of their local communities," says Cyrus Massoumi, founder & CEO of ZocDoc. "They are out there, so no matter what don't give up on booking that important care for yourself and your family."
Patients should also consider looking outside the primary-care arena. According to health care experts, patients can see an Internist, which is a doctor that focuses on preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases that impact adults instead of a primary care physician. "An Internist can address many of the same health issues as a primary care physician," says Massoumi.
Another option is to use a specialist, who focuses on one area of medicine be it a dermatologist, OB/GYN, or an ear, nose and throat specialist. Many specialists don't require a referral and can be used for preventive checkups. "These specialists are a great front line of defense for early detection of health issues," says Massoumi.
Telehealth, once known as telemedicine, involves patients getting access to doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistant via a computer and telephone. Services like NowClinic and AmeriDoc have been gaining popularity, and more are expected to be added in the future, giving people a convenient and easy alternative to visiting a doctor in an office setting. Market research firm Technavio forecasts the global telemedicine market will increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 19% between 2010 and 2014. According to Griner, people can also get care through alternative medicine for certain illnesses. For example, the treatment for mild hypertension tends to include rest, exercise, diet and relaxation techniques to bring the blood pressure down instead of using medicine, he says. "We need to remind ourselves care is not exclusively through Western medicine," says Griner. "More and more people are using alternative avenues as well."

SAC Indictment: The Legal Angle
