No. 9 Missouri enters late-season bye on an offensive roll with back-to-back victories
- Image 1 of 2

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Ninth-ranked Missouri would rather stay on its offensive roll than take time off.
After all, the Tigers are eager to what's next after backup quarterback Maty Mauk tied a school record with five touchdowns passing in Saturday's 48-17 rout of Kentucky. Four of Mauk's touchdowns went to sophomore wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, who set a Missouri mark.
Green-Beckham wanted to keep going, but the walking boot on his sprained right ankle also indicated a need to step back.
Coach Gary Pinkel won't complain about a late-season bye. With remaining Southeastern Conference games at Ole Miss on Nov. 23 and against No. 10 Texas A&M and Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel the following week, the Tigers (9-1, 5-1) need this down time to refresh as they seek the East title.
"This break will allow us to mentally get away from football," Pinkel said after reaching nine wins for the fourth time in 13 seasons with the Tigers.
The bye will also help the Tigers make the transition from Mauk back to James Franklin at quarterback.
After the win, Pinkel declared that the senior would likely start against the Rebels after missing four games with a shoulder injury. He was available against the Wildcats in an emergency that wasn't necessary with Mauk's record-tying day, but he did get some fourth-quarter work.
"The ideal thing was to do exactly what we did," Pinkel said. "We just wanted to get some reps with him. The biggest thing was: Can he take that hit? With these extra two weeks, he'll be ready to start for us."
Franklin has a tough act to follow after his backup offered an encouraging peek at Missouri's future.
Mauk capped an impressive 3-1 record in relief of Franklin. In one game, the redshirt freshman matched his season touchdown total, and he has thrown eight TD passes the past two.
Besides reading Kentucky's blitz packages and coverages, Mauk scrambled in the pocket to extend plays long enough to look for an assortment of tall receivers. He finished with 203 yards on 17-of-28 passing and tied Chase Daniel for the most TDs in a game.
He credited Franklin for helping his development.
"I couldn't even tell you how much with James there beside me, helping me every day," Mauk said of his growth. "What it takes is time, and that's obviously what it came down to. Now, we are out there executing just like we were."
Mauk locked in on the 6-foot-6 Green-Beckham when the Tigers got near the goal line, lofting a couple of passes for the receiver to easily jump and grab over shorter Kentucky defenders. But the gutsiest call was a slant pass on fourth-and-3 from the Wildcats 7, the TD that put Missouri up 41-17 and Green-Beckham in the record books.
Told that Tigers coaches predicted a big game against Kentucky, Green-Beckham downplayed it, saying, "We really don't talk much about that."
"We just talk about our receiver group, just how we need to go out and be the game-breakers," he added.
Green-Beckham said the boot he wore was just a precaution. He expects to be healed by the end of a week in which the Tigers aim to rest and get healthy in preparation for closing the deal on an SEC East title. Missouri leads South Carolina by half a game and needs to win out to avoid a potential tie against the last team to beat the Tigers.
Nothing about Ole Miss and especially Texas A&M will be easy. But having two quarterbacks that can execute the offense should put the Tigers' minds at ease.
Said offensive coordinator Josh Henson, "It gives you a lot of confidence for the future."

Science seeks to explain the world. While philosophers have developed elaborate criteria for what constitutes an explanation without coming to a consensus, it has always seemed to me that a good scientific explanation has two primary characteristics:
- Complicated things are explained in terms of simpler things that are easier to understand or, more commonly, are already understood.
- Psychological puzzlement is reduced when an explanation is provided. There may still be puzzlement, but it should be either reduced, or relocated to some other unrelated phenomena.
These general considerations may explain why so few scientists are attracted to the explanations provided by the intelligent design movement. When an intelligent cause is offered as the "explanation" for certain phenomena, the explanation is more complicated than the phenomena. For example, if certain information-rich strings of DNA were assembled by an intelligence intervening from "outside," that intelligent agent would be way more complicated than the string of DNA. We have greatly complicated our "system" by adding this designer to the mix of things that have to be organized into an explanation. We are trying to explain something relatively simple in terms of something very complicated.
The oft-used example of Mount Rushmore being the product of an intelligent agency is misleading. We can certainly detect that it is designed and we know that we must invoke intelligent—in this case human—designers to account for it. But our understanding of human behavior has been developed and refined over millennia. We take for granted that the patterns that make up the faces on Mount Rushmore pre-exist in the minds of the artists who did the work. Our "explanation" is really nothing more than a statement that a pattern has been transferred from the minds of the designers to the side of the mountain.
It seems to me that this winsome example conflates cause with explanation. Very little is truly "explained" by saying that a pattern has moved from one place to another.
A different example makes this point clearer. Suppose you find your friend with a bullet hole in his head and you wonder if this was a stray bullet or an assassination. You find a video recording and discover that there clearly was an assassin. So the death was "intelligently designed." But is the assassin on the video the "explanation" for the death or simply the "cause"? Unlike the Mount Rushmore example, we lack a ready-made explanation for why an assassin would kill your friend. The identification of intelligent cause does not explain the phenomena at all.
The problem of puzzlement is similar. If we say that an intelligent agent has produced certain strings of DNA, are we more or less puzzled by the problem of DNA when we are all done? Frankly, I am more puzzled after hearing this claim. This "explanation" generates a set of questions even more troubling than our original query about how information-rich strings of DNA came to be. For example, what about DNA strings that look like gibberish? Why did our intelligent agent produce an information-rich string and sandwich it between two pieces of nonsense? Why do so many pieces of DNA look "broken" like our gene for making Vitamin C? And, how exactly, did our agent produce the strings in question? Dozens of additional questions arise.
Puzzlement is increased, not decreased by invoking an intelligent agent to explain natural phenomena. Scientists will thus not feel like they are making progress with this line of investigation.
Neither of these two key points can be formulated into a rigorous demarcation argument that neatly divides good scientific explanations from bad ones. French physicists, following Descartes, opposed Newton's theory of gravity for decades. They thought the claim that bodies could reach across empty space and pull on each other so ridiculous—so puzzling—that they championed an alternative theory. In 1700 it would have been hard to resolve this question to everyone's satisfaction. But the Newtonian effort had a vitality that carried it steadily forward until eventually the French alternative passed into the dustbin of history.
Complexity and simplicity are not as simple as they appear, however, so applying such criteria is far from trivial. Complexity does not, for example, have anything to do with how hard an explanation is to understand. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is harder to understand than the ideas of Newton that it replaced, but this is not because it is more elaborate or more complex. The challenges of understanding relativity come entirely from the associated mathematical equations that are harder to solve. There is a useful comparison with language here.
Imagine that all recipes for making cookies were written in Chinese and all recipes for making cakes were written in English. English speakers would find cookie recipes hard to understand; Chinese speakers would find cake recipes harder to understand, although their enthusiasm for bilingualism would certainly be helpful. Thecomplexity of an explanation has to do with its "moving parts." How many different components? How many time intervals have to be measured? How many subtle interactions have to be tracked? Is the history of the system relevant? How many interlocking phenomena have to be noted and related to each other? Regardless of the languages in which they were written, we would all agree that recipes for cake are more complex than recipes for chocolate milk.
The question of puzzlement is also complicated. What does it mean to say that "puzzlement is reduced" and how large a reduction is required for that process to be considered meaningful? One of the most puzzling features of the natural world, that perplexed astronomers for 2000 years, was the observation that the planets occasionally moved "backward" in the sky, executing what looked like loop-de-loops. Various complicated explanations were provided, the last one being that of Copernicus in his landmark book in 1543. Copernicus solved the problem by suggesting that the earth moved around the sun and the apparent backward motion of the planets was just an optical illusion created when the earth passed other planets in its orbit about the sun.
Copernicus's breakthrough was not immediately hailed as a great explanation, however, because so many questions were raised by his claim that the earth moves. Many people were quite troubled by the claim that the earth was hurtling through space at unimaginable speeds without so much as a breeze or wobble. This seemed far more puzzling than the loop-de-loop motions of the planets. It was not until Galileo worked out the physics of a moving earth, and Newton showed how gravity could keep the earth in a stable orbit, that the new Copernican system seemed less puzzling.
Concepts like complexity and puzzlement are imprecise—clear in a general sense, but foggy around the edges. There is room for disagreement. And this is why it is so important to appreciate that science is a communalenterprise. A group of experts needs to brainstorm, argue, and even quarrel about explanations to make sure they are adequate. One of the greatest strengths of science is the way that skeptical critique has been built into the process. Many scientific ideas are stillborn because skeptics make demands that cannot be met and the futility of those ideas is quickly exposed.
Scientific progress has a certain "feel" to it and anyone who has spent time in a research group knows that feeling. There is a shared intuition that explanations are "drilling down" to ever more fundamental levels of reality. DNA is explained in terms of molecules; molecules are explained in terms of atoms; atoms are explained in terms of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are explained in terms of quarks. Puzzlement drives the enterprise but it seems to gradually and steadily reduce over time. Astronomers no longer fret over the many things that puzzled Copernicus.
Intelligent design does not "feel" scientific. It may not be the "science stopper" that some of its critics claim, but it seems to lack explanatory momentum. After nearly two decades of energetic exploration it seems to me that it should be going somewhere. We should be able to see how the initial ideas led to explanations that identified new questions and how those questions provoked investigations that uncovered ever more adequate explanations. The world should seem less puzzling now than it did.
But none of these things have happened, which explains why the initial goals of the Intelligent Design Movement have not been met, why the scientific community is paying no attention, and why Christians looking to understand the Creation should be skeptical.

10 Meals That Make the Most of Meat
Turkey, ham, and roast beef enjoy star attention during the colder months and holiday season; these are hefty meat dishes for family feasts. But for the moment, we're still normal cooks with our normal food budgets and our normal schedules who are just trying to get wholesome, tasty dinners on the table, and that means using meat wisely and carefully, for flavor and not always as the centerpiece of a meal.
Today, let's talk about ten dishes that make the most of meat and use it in smart, budget-friendly ways.
What does it really mean to "make the most of meat"? To me, it often means taking a less expensive cut, like beef shoulder or chicken thighs, and stretching it for many mouths (or many meals). Take a look at our recipes for shredded beef with polenta and our Moroccan tagine with chicken legs and thighs for recipes like this.
Making the most of meat can also mean using a small amount of a flavorful meat and using it as an accent to a meal. I love the way a single ham hock transforms a pot of beans into hearty Cuban Black Bean Soup and how just a few crumbled strips of bacon can make a pizza like the one we have here into an extra-special midweek meal. Just as satisfying are the little bites of chorizo in our otherwise lean soup of shiitake mushroom and chickpeas and the ribbons of prosciutto in a simple pasta bake.
There are lots of ways you can spin the idea of "making the most of meat" when it comes to weeknight dinners. Here are ten to get you started:

Tuff Country Lift Kits 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500 - Tough Country ControlPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on June 1, 2009
Keep it simple. It's a phrase we've all heard countless times. Though not as often as we'd like, every now and then there's a new product that actually lets you do just that. Tuff Country, a staple in the off-road industry known for its wide range of heavy-duty lift kits, introduced a radius-arm conversion for the '03-'08 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4x4 that is about as user-friendly as they come. Designed to work with lift heights ranging from 0 to 6 inches, the kit is completely bolt-on and made with lower adjustment sleeves so you can fine-tune your Ram's caster without ever having to unbolt the arms.
We headed to Off Road Unlimited to install the new Tuff Country conversion along with one of the company's 6-inch E-Z Ride lift kits. ORU was the perfect place to take our massive 3/4-ton, as years of experience with everything from its legendary GM solid-axle conversions to its full line of aftermarket parts made installing the lift kit a breeze. Using a hydraulic vehicle lift and power tools will generally make your life easier and the install go faster, but a home install is feasible and, with the proper tools, can be knocked out in a weekend with time to spare.
Xtreme Traction
More lift means more room for our 37x12.50 Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrains. Wrapped around 17x8 Pro Comp Xtreme Alloys, the new tire-and-wheel package made the truck look good and perform great. Built with a beefy tread stagger, the tires stayed quiet on the highway and did a great job churning through the desert dirt and rocks.

Tuff Arms
Installing a lift kit should always be a fun and good learning experience. With all the triple bypass shocks, crazy multilink suspensions, and over-the-top lift-kit pricing, it's nice to see a simple yet effective suspension system that almost any wheeling enthusiast can install. Made for the weekend wheeler and the guy that needs to keep his truck the workhorse it was intended to be, Tuff Country's new radius-arm conversion accompanied with the company's 6-inch E-Z Ride lift is a great way to convert your 3/4- or 1-ton Dodge into more than just an everyday pavement pounder.

As gaming developers grow more familiar with the iPhone platform and learning its capabilities, many are doling out their opinions across the interweb. Compared to the DS and the PSP, an EA developer put the iPhone in terms of power closer to the PSP than the DS. That's nothing new for us at TiPb but now Sega is claiming that the iPhone is more powerful than their last console, the Dreamcast! To remind you: the Dreamcast was home to Soul Caliber, Shenmue, & Virtua Tennis and the console was a competitor of the PS2 and Xbox.
And. the. iPhone. is. more. powerful. than. that.
But powerful as it is, as proven by the current console war, the iPhone is going to need FUN games to succeed as a gaming platform. Let's give developers some time to see what they can come up with. With such power under the hood, they'll have no excuse!

I am a member of many genealogical and historical societies in Nebraska and around the country. Today, I am very proud to take some time to spotlight my "home" society, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Genealogical Society (LLCGS) of Nebraska.
I've been a member of LLCGS on and off for the past 30+ years, but a steady member since 2005. A little over a year ago, I wanted to become more involved in the group and was delighted when I was asked to become the group's publicity chair. I've wanted to bring LLCGS into the social media arena and the time was finally right for our society to have an online presence in addition to our web site, which is superbly managed by Al Harlow.
LLCGS now has a blog, a Facebook page, a Twitter feed and a Google+ page. We also have a newsletter, which is a monthly publication for members only, which is under the guidance of editor Susie Dunn. We all work together in conveying the LLCGS image to the public.
LLCGS is in its 36th year, serving Lincoln, Nebraska, Lancaster County and researchers from around the globe. While many societies are struggling financially and have dwindling membership numbers, LLCGS is strong, with a solid financial base and a membership roster that recently hit 205!
Speaking as a genealogist rather than as the organization's publicity chair, for me the society has three great strengths that make my membership important to me: the variety of our education programs, our free online databases and our resource library of 8,000+ items.
LLCGS has monthly programs along with the member meetings on the second Tuesday of each month. In the last year or so, additional weekly events have been added to our offerings at what I refer to as "Sunday Sessions at the Library." From 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoons, LLCGS members gather at Walt Branch Library, 6701 S. 14th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska for demonstrations, discussion groups, and "help sessions" for budding genealogists. There are Genealogy Interest Groups (GIGs) for German research, technology, DNA and sharing your genealogy. We will soon be adding a writer's group. All of our sessions are open to the public and our presence in one the newest city library branches has opened our group to new members who noticed our sign as they entered the library.
Two of our members hold afternoon discussion groups monthly in other locations in Lincoln.
Our program topics for 2013 have been identified and the program and education committees are in the process of securing speakers and planning presentations. Also in the works are field trips to out of town libraries and research facilities, as well as other special events.
We will be partnering with Lincoln City Libraries in February in the promotion of the One Book One Lincoln project. The book selected this year is Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard. LLCGS will be branching out to other branch libraries to make a presentation regarding the era following the Civil War and reconstruction and how our families fit into that time frame. LLCGS members will be available to help genealogists with their family history and acquaint them with genealogy resources available in the Lincoln City Libraries.
I counted nearly 100 different education sessions that will be available for our members and the community during 2013. How's that for an active society!
Online Databases
LLCGS has provided many free databases to help researchers with their Lancaster county roots. You can search cemetery records, marriage records, mortuary information, probate information, naturalization information. Naturalization records (vols 1 - 14) were indexed by LLCGS members for the period of October 6, 1906 through June 29, 1929.
|Sample Search Result for
my grandparents in the
LLCGS database
The newspaper database is growing, with more than 2,200 names uploaded from the Nebraska State Journal this week. I found two references for my great grandfather John Bellinger's marriage to Emma Landon in 1879. This newspaper index is based on cards that were done primarily by Melvin Sitler and cover the period from May 1873 through December 1899. This is a gold mine of records as the information pre-dates vital records in Nebraska.
People can learn more about the LLCGS digitization projects at our first meeting of 2013 on January 8. Facilitators will be webmaster Al Harlow and librarian Cindy Cochrane.
LLCGS Library
The LLCGS library is housed in the Don Love building on the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. Yes, you read correctly. We have more than 8,000 volumes of genealogy resources including reference books, genealogies, DVDs, microform, periodicals and videos. Our catalog can be searched here. Not only does our collection cover Lincoln and Lancaster county, but other areas of the country as well. Sadly, as someone who has been working full time and being a caregiver, I've yet to visit our library. BUT - once I am retired after the end of January, I can assure you, I will be spending many hours perusing our collection.
Our library accepts donations of materials and funds to purchase new items. At the moment, we are interested in adding to our collection of high school and college yearbooks. I know that once I make a few scans of my own yearbooks, they will be going to the LLCGS library.
Special Projects
We welcome volunteers to help index and scan records and assist in a variety of projects.
Membership to LLCGS is a bargain at $15 for an individual. Joint memberships are only $20. We also have patron levels and accept donations via PayPal. To become a member, visit our web site.
A gift membership to LLCGS makes a great stocking stuffer for you last minute shoppers!
Visit LLCGS Online
Web site
I also want to salute the members of LLCGS, committee chairs and the board of directors. Without the work of this active group of people, LLCGS would not be what it is today. It's all about the people giving back to the community.
LLCGS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) education organization.

Missouri is getting generally good marks in a new report looking at states� readiness to respond to outbreaks of infectious disease or bioterrorism, and a local official says that�s encouraging.
�I�m satisfied with this report,� said Mike Curry, Jackson County�s director of emergency preparedness and homeland security.
The report, by the Trust for America�s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, cautions that in the years since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and, later that fall, the anthrax mailings that killed five people, the country has made strides in being ready to prevent or deal with bioterrorism and new, high-risk diseases such as particularly deadly strains of flu � but also that funding for public health nationally has fallen during the last decade.
�Millions of Americans still contract infectious diseases each year and, worldwide, they are the leading cause of death of people under the age of 60,� the report says. �Fighting infectious disease requires constant vigilance.�
The two groups rated the 50 states and the District of Columbia in 10 areas, such as how many people get shots for the flu or whooping cough, whether public health funding is steady, or whether a state�s labs can handle a surge of testing over several weeks in event of the outbreak of disease. Missouri scored a six, as did eight other states. That was the best in the Midwest other than Minnesota. Seven states scored a seven, and New Hampshire scored eight.
�I was pretty happy with Missouri,� Curry said.
While noting improvements, the report cites �persistent areas of vulnerability, including in biosurveillance, the ability to provide mass care in emergencies, maintaining a stable (medical countermeasures) strategy to continue research and development of vaccines and antiviral medications and helping communities become more resilient to cope with and recover from emergencies.�
Get that flu shot
Much of the report deals with efforts to convince people to get vaccinated. For example, in only a dozen states, not including Missouri, did more than half of the population get a flu shot last winter. One-fifth of Americans get the seasonal flu each year. A quarter million end up in the hospital � costing $16 billion in lost wages � and 3,000 to 49,000 die, the report says.
Nationally, 45 percent of Americans 6 months or older got a flu shot last year; in Missouri, the rate was 46.4 percent. But local health departments � Curry cited the Independence Health Department � do get the word out.
�I think the Health Department�s done everything they can,� he said.
The report also targets whooping cough.
�Whooping cough�s nothing to mess with,� Curry said.
The federal government wants to see 90 percent of babies 19 to 35 months old get vaccinated, but only Connecticut, Delaware and the District of Columbia meet that goal. Missouri�s incidence of whooping cough is slightly above the national average. The report says vaccinations prevent 14 million cases of whooping cough and measles a year and save $9.9 billion in direct health-care costs. Still, 2 million children under 3 have not had all of their recommended shots, and both whooping cough and the measles are on the rise in parts of the country.
Curry said this is the part of the report that most jumped out at him. Many states, including Missouri, allow parents to opt out of having their children get such vaccines.
�That�s not a good decision,� he said.
The report puts it this way: �The failure to vaccinate all preschoolers with all of the recommended immunizations on time leaves 2.1 million young children unnecessarily vulnerable to preventable illnesses.�
Whooping cough can get around quickly.
�When those kids get sick, they take it to school, and the other kids who are unvaccinated get sick, too,� Curry said.
The report also singled out another vaccine. Half of the states, including Missouri, either require the HPV vaccine or offer it along with educational efforts. Human papillomavirus causes cervical cancer, and the report says 79 million Americans carry the virus. There are 32,000 new cases of cancer annually, mostly in women, but only one-third of teenage girls nationwide have had the vaccine.
Community readiness
Curry said he might have suggested a different question for the report: Can your local health department get 90 percent of the area�s population vaccinated against a sudden outbreak within 48 hours. Local health officials, for example, hold exercises on drive-through clinics, giving away items such as flashlights instead of giving shots but still simulating a mass-vaccination event. That means the area has a higher degree of readiness.
�I think it�s in very good shape,� Curry said.
The U.S. does have a Strategic National Stockpile, stored around the country. It contains, for example, enough smallpox vaccine for everyone in the country plus medicine to ward of anthrax for millions. Some medicine from that stockpile was distributed during the H1N1 pandemic in 2009, which was considered mild but infected 60 million Americans � close to one-fifth of the country � and killed 12,000. What was notable is that, unlike the case with seasonal flu, 90 percent of the deaths were among those under age 65.
The report also looked at these areas:
� Only 17 states maintained or increased funding for public health services from fiscal year 2011-12 through 2012-13. Missouri was not among those 17. The report�s argument is straightforward: It is public-health agencies that have to monitor and quickly investigate any outbreaks of disease and then get the word out and distribute medicine.
�Currently, the United States lacks an integrated, national approach to biosurveillance � which limits the rapid detection and tracking of diseases,� the report says. �There are more than 300 different health surveillance systems or networks supported by the federal government. These efforts, for the most part, are neither integrated nor interoperable ...�
� Three-fourths or more of the states, including Missouri, require that health-care facilities report health-care-associated infections, that labs have a plan in place to handle a six- to eight-week surge of testing � 300 percent � if there�s an outbreak, and that public health labs be able to move samples to the right lab quickly.
� Half of the states, including Missouri, have and test plans to keep public health labs up and running even if the outbreak of disease keeps workers off the job. Curry prepared a similar plan for the county. �In Jackson County, we�re in pretty darned good shape,� he said.
� The Medicaid programs in Missouri and 30 other states have routine HIV testing.
� Fifteen states, not including Missouri, have plans to deal with how climate change will affect human health.

text: Don't Think Farmland Values Could Tumble? Think Again November 15, 2012 11:00 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Boyce Thompson AgWeb Email Farmland values may not be in a bubble, but changed fundamentals could undermine recent gains Strong farmland appreciation, 20% or better in many Midwest markets, makes perfect theoretical sense given today's low interest rates, strong farm incomes and high crop prices. That's why most academics and economists generally conclude that an agricultural land bubble doesn't exist. "But remember, it's not just bubbles that cause land values to come down," says Craig Dobbins, an agricultural economist at Purdue University, speaking at a recent conference. "It's also what people perceive to be the fundamentals. And the perception of the fundamentals could change." Dobbins was one of several speakers at last week's Farmland Value and Leasing Conference in Decatur, Ill., who warned that unexpected shocks to ag's foundations could topple farmland values. Investors who are fueling interest in farmland could sour on it if the federal government revises its mandate that gasoline producers buy ethanol; if China's consumption of feedstock slows; or if South America dramatically increases its grain production, among other activity. While market conditions favor continued growth in agricultural land values, says David Oppedahl, an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, there's some uncertainty. Oppedeahl outlined some shocks that could disrupt the trend. A divided Congress, for instance, might be unable to find common ground on a farm bill or fail to avert the fiscal cliff. The huge federal deficit might force policymakers to trim the federal crop insurance program. Farmland values have been increasing at double-digit rates for several years. Lee Vermeer, vice president of real estate operations for Farmers National, expects the growth to slow this year. Vermeer sold about 700 farms last year worth about $500 million, and most of the sales happened at auction. Farmers National also manages 5,000 farms. "When you see land values doing up 30% a year in some states, year after year, you think to yourself, That can't go on." But it has. Farmers National, which witnessed a 20% to 25% rise in values last year, expects to see increases north of 20% again this year. Interest has picked up of late. Investors are clamoring to get in on deals before the end of the year when tax rates and policies might change. "In every area where we work, 24 states, there's a record demand for land. We have record rents, record income, record land values," says Vermeer, noting that investors remain bullish on agricultural land, even though profits have gone up 30% since 2007, according to USDA statistics. But Vermeer, too, worries that the sands could shift under the agricultural economy. "If they take away that (ethanol) mandate, there goes a chunk of our demand. That's something we have to watch." Agricultural land, like stocks, bonds or other investments, may be due for a "market correction" says Vermeer, noting that recent yearly price increases rival those of the late 1970s. They were followed by a fall in land vaules in the early 1980s that triggered a farm crisis in the Midwest. "The likelihood of a correction goes up with increased volatility," he says. Dobbins, who does a survey of Indiana farmland values every year, used to have trouble explaining the steady increases since 2000. It's no longer as difficult, given recent trends in net income, returns and crop prices. There's also the matter of supply constraints. "There's never enough land brought to the market, it seems," he says. A recent roundup of Fed surveys shows that, despite the drought, nonirrigated cropland values rose more than 30% in Nebraska and South Dakota. In Iowa, year-over-year values rose 24%. The Eastern Corn Belt overall witnessed an increase of between 10% and 15%. Investors account for a growing share of buyers, says Vermeer, even though local farmers still account for 70% to 80% of sales. The broker keeps fielding calls from investors who have read about strong farmland returns and want to diversify their portfolio. They are typically looking to hold long-term. "They are looking for specific returns," says Vermeer, putting them within the range of 3.5% to 4%. "If they can't hit that number, they don't buy … .There's just a ton of cash pouring into this market, which has been one of the major drivers pushing prices upward." Investor interest has helped push price-to-earnings ratios on farmland to about 30, compared to roughly 18 for stocks. "That makes you stop and think a bit," Vermeer says. Low interest rates are one explanation for high P/E ratios. Rates on 10-year Treasuries remain below 2%, and the Federal Reserve Board wants to hold them down until economic growth improves. The high prices being paid for farmland make it difficult for small farmers to compete. Says Dobbins: "If I'm (a small farmer) in an auction with someone who is willing to spend 33 times current earnings, I don't have a prayer. The problem is that there are lots of them out there." Even as they held out the possibility that farmland values could tumble, most speakers at the conference don't believe they will. Based on current prices for 2013 corn and soybeans, farmer incomes are likely to be higher next year, says Gary Schnitkey, a University of Illinois agricultural economist. Given that scenario, along with the probability of continued low interest rates, "Why wouldn't farmland values keep going up?" Demand for agricultural products is different than demand for homeownership, several speakers stressed. U.S. farmers produce a real product that's needed by the entire world, Vermeer says. And they produce it in an environment with low debt, strong profits and increasing productivity. "The reality is our production has just been keeping up with worldwide demand. Now with the drought, we'll need to ramp up our production," Vermeer says.

ECRI Institute PSO Uncovers Health Information Technology-Related Events in Deep Dive Analysis
Feb 06, 2013, 02:51 ET
Data transfer, data entry, system configurations, and more identified as serious problem areas
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The federal government is spending about $19 billion to encourage hospitals, physician practices, and other healthcare organizations to invest in their health information technology (HIT) infrastructure with the goal of improving patient safety and quality through the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110112/DC29081LOGO)
Concerned about the unintended consequences of HIT and the potential for errors to cause patient harm, ECRI Institute Patient Safety Organization (PSO) recently conducted a PSO Deep Dive™ analysis on HIT-related safety events. Their just-released 48-page report identified five potential problem areas, which can be assessed with the accompanying toolkit. The report and toolkit are available for purchase without membership in ECRI Institute PSO.
"Minimizing the unintended consequences of HIT systems and maximizing the potential of HIT to improve patient safety should be an ongoing focus of every healthcare organization," says Karen P. Zimmer, MD, MPH, FAAP, medical director, ECRI Institute PSO.
Based on reports submitted to the PSO from participating organizations, ECRI Institute PSO experts identified the following key HIT-related problems:
- inadequate data transfer from one HIT system to another
- data entry in the wrong patient record
- incorrect data entry in the patient record
- failure of the HIT system to function as intended
- configuration of the system in a way that can lead to mistakes
To collect enough reports for meaningful evaluation, ECRI Institute PSO asked participating organizations to submit standardized data about HIT events during a nine-week period. This enabled ECRI Institute PSO to identify patterns and trends from the aggregated data and share the findings, as well as its recommendations. The data in the PSO Deep Dive represents only that collected using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) HIT Common Formats. ECRI Institute PSO data encompasses over 800 HIT-related events.
According to the report, HIT must be considered in the context of the environment in which it operates during the three phases of any HIT project: planning for new or replacement systems, system implementation, and ongoing use and evaluation of the system. "Shortsighted approaches to HIT can lead to adverse consequences," caution the authors.
"Healthcare organizations should consider the findings and recommendations in the PSO Deep Dive as part of their effort to achieve those goals," adds Zimmer.
The HIT PSO Deep Dive findings were published in a 48-page report and toolkit with self-assessment questionnaire and action plan form available to all ECRI Institute PSO Members and its partner PSO members. The table of contents of the report is available for free viewing/download. Additional information will be presented in ECRI Institute PSO's Monthly Brief free e-newsletter March edition; go to www.ecri.org/psobrief to sign up. The full report and toolkit are also available for purchase.
For questions about this topic, or for information about purchasing the report, please contact ECRI Institute PSO by telephone at (610) 825-6000, ext. 5558; by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com; by fax at (610) 834-1275, or by mail at 5200 Butler Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462-1298, USA.

Well, the Mission-based boutique is taking it up a notch and venturing above boob-embellished gear, because they just unveiled a new slew of eyebrow-raising creations for its inaugural in-house line. (But, don't fret guys — the boob paraphernalia is still around!)
The gals of Gravel & Gold tapped local artist Rachel Kaye to help out with a few new patterns. Kaye's contributions (titled NOIZ) are textiles that are composed of bright hues and sharp geometric shapes, making for some gorgeous springtime wares.
We're seriously fawning over every vibrant item in the collection. See for yourself after the jump, and be sure to check out the line in a handful of stores (General Store, MAC, Conifer, Proof Lab, and more) around town and beyond.

Autism Mastery Course has added environmental and chemical toxicity information to its autism treatment training course. Autism Mastery Course was designed for physicians and health care professionals to learn to treat children on the Autism-Spectrum using biomedical intervention.
Pompano Beach, United States - January 13, 2018 /PressCable/ —
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that about 1 in 68 children in the United States is affected with Autism. Other studies show an even higher rate. The hard truth is there are simply not enough physicians or health care workers with the experience and knowledge to help so many children diagnosed on the Autism-Spectrum. One of the biggest triggers has been found to be exposure to environmental and/or chemical toxicity.
Dr. Kurt Woeller, renowned autism treatment specialist with over 20 years of clinical experience, has created an online Autism Mastery Course, that will fast track health care workers to become autism treatment specialists in about 16 weeks. The next course starts on January 23, 2018.
"I am very excited about the success of the Autism Mastery Course for physicians and other health care practitioners," says Dr. Woeller. "This edition of the course will also include new information on the links between environmental and chemical toxicity and autism."
The autism treatment training course attendees give glowing testimonials. "This course has been great!! Every week, I am adding something new to our practice because of this class. Our practice initially worked with neuro feedback and behavioral health, but since starting the course, we have certainly implemented the integrative health model, with great success," said Todd R, a doctor practicing in Chicago.
The Autism Mastery Course features clinically relevant, practical, and time efficient material for any health practitioner currently working with the special needs community, or, for those who want to gain knowledge about helping this underserved population of people.
The 16 week course consists of weekly live webinars and live Q & A sessions that will also be recorded and available to those who can't attend the live events. In addition, the course includes downloadable forms to help physicians set up patient charts and develop treatment programs.
One of the key elements to the Autism Mastery course is that the participants will also have access to a private online forum run by Dr. Woeller, where they can interact, ask questions, and have Dr. Woeller mentor them while they learn.
The course will focus on the complexities of autism, providing an in depth knowledge regarding biomedical intervention for autism-spectrum disorders that would normally take years of training and practice to obtain. "I wish there would have been a course like this when I was starting," says Dr. Woeller, "it would have shaved years off my learning curve!"
While the Autism Mastery Course was created with the health care practitioner in mind, the course is also open to experienced autism parents who would like to further understand how various autism treatments can help improve their children's health.

Herrick Park subdivision homeowner, Steve Kruger, is pictured leaning planks of wood against a tree to help protect it from deer. Kruger may lose a $300 service berry tree, planted last year, due to bark that's been damaged by deer. Kruger's wife, Barb, said the couple has lived at their residence for 30 years, where they can no longer grow vegetables and herbs due to deer. They've also lost several patches of ivy ground cover that deer have eaten. The number of deer traveling up from Evans Creek, across Herrick Park Drive, and across the Kruger's backyard have continued on a path, damaging landscaping at the residence of Buzz and Kathy Betzoldt. The two families are among several reporting damage at the subdivision. Photo by Jim Lincoln.Thu, 01/10/2019 - 7:23am

CRESTVIEW � A city facility offering multiple sports, arts and cultural opportunities has potential, according to Northwest Florida State College�s Institute for Senior Professionals.
Report: family entertainment complex viable in Crestview
CRESTVIEW � A city facility offering multiple sports, arts and cultural opportunities has potential, according to Northwest Florida State College�s Institute for Senior Professionals.
City Council President Ben Iannucci III � who has championed the project � presented findings from the institute�s 30-page feasibility report at Monday�s council meeting.
The facility requires a 60-acre site, said Iannucci, who suggested using land off Rasberry Road. The complex�s original suggested site, a city-owned 17-acre parcel behind the Brookmeade Public Safety building, was too small, and the sloping topography was unacceptable for sports fields, the study stated. The location also raised concerns about noise, increased traffic and light pollution for surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Crestview would be a prime location for traveling sports team events, Iannucci said, adding that Panama City has the closest such complex. The city would be a stop on the traveling team sports circuit among Georgia, Alabama and Jacksonville complexes.
That would bring additional revenue to the area � �studies have shown it can bring tens of millions of dollars in economic impact to the area," Iannucci said.
At the local Okaloosa Arts Alliance committee�s recommendation, Iannucci incorporated visual and performing arts studios, gallery and multi-use performance and sports space in the proposal.
Funding sources could include a local tourist development tax, also called a "bed tax," and BP settlement money from the April 2010 Gulf oil spill. Rasberry Road's proximity to Interstate 10 might also attract state Department of Transportation funds, Iannucci said.
"I'm all for the concept," Councilwoman Robyn Helt said.
Resident Landrum Edwards, who has criticized the project, accused Iannucci of "changing the paint and whitewashing" the project by including the family arts and entertainment component.
However, adding facilities for the whole family was what made the project more appealing to community activist Mae R. Coleman.
"Just love it and support it,� she said. �We need action on it. Never stop the man's vision. God gave it to him."

• froward •
Pronunciation: fro-wêrd • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Stubbornly disobedient, rebellious, antagonistic, contrary in the extreme.
Notes: Today's Good Word is even more forward than forward itself. Someone who is forward is just a little too aggressive, impolite, speaking too familiarly too soon. Someone who is froward is openly rebellious, just the opposite of someone who is toward "affable, friendly"—another excellent word on the brink of extinction. (Toward, in fact, is far less often heard today than its negative, untoward, as in 'an untoward remark'.) We behave frowardly when we are possessed of frowardness.
In Play: We all pass through a stage in which we are consistently froward: "Lionel is three years old and just entering that froward stage when he does just the opposite of what we ask him to do." That is why 'reverse psychology' was invented. Frowardness is not smiled upon generally, but it is particularly awkward in the business world: "Ally Katz is much too froward to succeed in the corporate world; she will be lucky to keep her current job."
Word History: When the Vikings began invading the coastal areas of England and Scotland, the Old Norse word for "from" was frá. Scots English absorbed this word and today you will hear fra rather than from in many Scottish dialects. In British English, this word influenced from, costing it its closing M for a while in some dialects, though generally from held its ground. We hear fro today only in a few old words like today's Good One and a few phrases like to and fro. Froward remained alongside fromward "thence, away from", though both words are used far less often today than they deserve. (Today's Good Word came from the very toward Samuel Keays, not at all frowardly.)

Jo-Carolyn Goode | 8/28/2013, 4:46 p.m.
Lincoln Memorial
THE PRESIDENT: To the King family, who have sacrificed and inspired so much; to President Clinton; President Carter; Vice President Biden and Jill; fellow Americans.
Five decades ago today, Americans came to this honored place to lay claim to a promise made at our founding: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
In 1963, almost 200 years after those words were set to paper, a full century after a great war was fought and emancipation proclaimed, that promise -- those truths -- remained unmet. And so they came by the thousands from every corner of our country, men and women, young and old, blacks who longed for freedom and whites who could no longer accept freedom for themselves while witnessing the subjugation of others.
Across the land, congregations sent them off with food and with prayer. In the middle of the night, entire blocks of Harlem came out to wish them well. With the few dollars they scrimped from their labor, some bought tickets and boarded buses, even if they couldn't always sit where they wanted to sit. Those with less money hitchhiked or walked. They were seamstresses and steelworkers, students and teachers, maids and Pullman porters. They shared simple meals and bunked together on floors. And then, on a hot summer day, they assembled here, in our nation's capital, under the shadow of the Great Emancipator -- to offer testimony of injustice, to petition their government for redress, and to awaken America's long-slumbering conscience.
We rightly and best remember Dr. King's soaring oratory that day, how he gave mighty voice to the quiet hopes of millions; how he offered a salvation path for oppressed and oppressors alike. His words belong to the ages, possessing a power and prophecy unmatched in our time.
But we would do well to recall that day itself also belonged to those ordinary people whose names never appeared in the history books, never got on TV. Many had gone to segregated schools and sat at segregated lunch counters. They lived in towns where they couldn't vote and cities where their votes didn't matter. They were couples in love who couldn't marry, soldiers who fought for freedom abroad that they found denied to them at home. They had seen loved ones beaten, and children fire-hosed, and they had every reason to lash out in anger, or resign themselves to a bitter fate.
And yet they chose a different path. In the face of hatred, they prayed for their tormentors. In the face of violence, they stood up and sat in, with the moral force of nonviolence. Willingly, they went to jail to protest unjust laws, their cells swelling with the sound of freedom songs. A lifetime of indignities had taught them that no man can take away the dignity and grace that God grants us. They had learned through hard experience what Frederick Douglass once taught -- that freedom is not given, it must be won, through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith.

The Longitudinal Study of the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program was initiated in 1992 and is being conducted by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) International. The study's broad purpose is to assess the performance of the vocational rehabilitation (VR) program in assisting eligible individuals to achieve positive, sustainable economic and non-economic outcomes as a result of their receipt of VR services. This study, which tracks VR participation and post-VR experiences (for up to three years) of approximately 8,500 participants, is designed to answer questions associated with consumers' outcomes. The study also examines the environments in which services are provided and seeks to identify the affect these environments have on the program outcomes.
To date, the study has issued three of four final reports, three interim reports and one special sub-study. The most recent report released, third final report (MS Word (785K) | PDF (771K)), was issued in September 2005. This report concentrates on the context of VR services, including the local environment and local offices in which VR counselors and other staff arrange for or deliver services to VR consumers. The report also analyzes the influence of the environment and organizational characteristics of VR offices on the outcomes that VR consumers achieve as a result of VR services.

text: Just attended a private leaving do for the chairman of Glencore in Zug, Switzerland. A catered buffet at the Glencore HQ. Very nice. Not much I could eat apart from the strawberry tarts and the gazpacho but as I was walking out of the marquee area I saw a tent and a sign saying ' koscher buffet '. They had very kindly laid on a kosher buffet for observant Jewish employees ( and for others ) with roast beef sandwiches, duck with lentils, chicken slices. Very nice and catered by Restaurant Topas in Basel.... a kosher restaurant I had never heard of but will try next time I'm in Basel

Help RVB Select Industry's '75 Most Influential'
March 12, 2010 by Sherman Goldenberg · 1 Comment
As the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) prepares to roll out a series of events and related activities commemorating the industry's 2010 Centennial, RVBusiness magazine and RVBUSINESS.com are setting up a special Centennial issue focusing among other things on the "75 Most Influential People" in the history of the U.S. RV industry.
"Talk about a tough job," says RVB Publisher Sherman Goldenberg, in commenting on the upcoming selection process. "We sat down recently to start making a list of likely nominees and soon realized just how intimidating this process is going to be. I mean, when you get beyond the most obvious individuals like Winnebago's John K. Hanson and Holiday Rambler's Richard Klingler and Fleetwood's John Crean and start looking at who else might be on that list, you begin to realize just how difficult this process can be."
To help build a pool of names, RVBusiness is adding an application this morning (March 13) to the RVBUSINESS.com homepage, a click-through feature through which website visitors can nominate anyone they think ought to be on RVB's list of the industry's "75 Most Influential People."
That list will be published in a June issue that includes an array of centennial coverage and will be released in sync with RVIA's 100th Anniversary Party June 7 at the RV/MH Heritage Foundation Inc.'s Hall of Fame and Museum in Elkhart, Ind., during what has been designated as "RV Centennial Celebration Month."
RVIA's invitation-only industry party, one of several Centennial projects spearheaded by RVIA designed to lift the industry's post-recessionary spirits, will feature a "Salute to RV Workers," a live band, fireworks, centennial salutes from RVing celebrities and other VIPs and the unveiling of an RV-themed time capsule that will remain on display at the RV/MH Hall of Fame and Museum.
"We know there are many possible candidates who would likely qualify as having been among the '75 Most Influential' individuals in the industry's history, both from the past and including people who are still working in the industry today," said Goldenberg. "So, we've decided to open the doors on this project to the industry at large to make sure we don't overlook a lot of people who ought to be mentioned on this list.
"In saying that, however, we realize full well that we will inevitably slip up and overlook some people whose contributions were clearly vital to their companies and to the industry at large because the universe of names over a century's time is simply too large," he added. "But we're trying to keep those oversights to a minimum."

On Sunday, May 1, President Obama announced the death of Al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, the notorious terrorist who spearheaded the 9/11 attacks against the U.S. While the predominant reaction from around the world has been one of relief and joy, bin Laden's death reminds us of just how big an impact the 9/11 attacks had on us and the way we perceive and treat each other.
While the U.S. was already grappling with the immigration issue, 9/11 triggered a major overhaul of legislation that imposed stringent restrictions on immigration and gave the government much greater power to infringe on the rights of citizens and visitors to this country. The U.S had essentially gone into lock-down mode domestically, and U.S. foreign policy became more aggressive. At the time of the attacks, Barack Obama was an local politician only known in Chicago, and largely unknown to the world. He wrote a short article for his local newspaper, the Hyde Park Herald, in which he reacted to the tragic events of that day and suggested a cautious approach to its repercussions. He stated-
The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity….
We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes of embittered children across the globe—children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin American, Eastern Europe, and within our own shores.
Obama's emphasis on steering clear of blind rage and discrimination, as a way of blaming certain groups for the attacks, seems prophetic now. Over the last ten years, we have witnessed increasingly stringent immigration enforcement, and a steady dissolution of civil rights and attitudes towards immigrant communities, especially Muslim-Americans and South Asians. This view was echoed by Chris Hedges, a senior journalist and war correspondent who witnessed 9/11 and was plunged into its aftermath. In an address at a fundraising event on Sunday night as news of bin Laden's death was creeping in, Hedges remembered-
When I was in New York, as some of you were, on 9/11, I was in Times Square when the second plane hit. I walked into The New York Times, I stuffed notebooks in my pocket and walked down the West Side Highway and was at Ground Zero four hours later. I was there when Building 7 collapsed. And I watched as a nation drank deep from that very dark elixir of American nationalism … the flip side of nationalism is always racism, it's about self-exaltation and the denigration of the other.
The risks and backlash that both Obama and Hedges referenced have materialized over the last decade and placed the U.S. at a crucial crossroads where the decisions we take now will significantly impact the America of the future. In its fifth week, Breakthrough's human rights Facebook game America 2049 takes players to their mission in Phoenix, Arizona, which has been in someway the epicenter of the immigration debate. In Phoenix, players confront heightened debates around severely restricted immigration policies. Players are also confronted with a scenario where ethnic celebrations and festivals have been outlawed for fear that "they promote dissent and unnecessarily emphasize differences between populations." The game presents players with choices for how to address such a situation in the future, and by referencing historical artifacts, shows how our present could very well lead to the dytopic future that the game depicts. One example of this historical reference is a 1920s songbook – "O! Close the Gates." (see photo) – that demonized immigrants in popular culture.
In Level 5 of America 2049, players also meet Cynthia Espinoza. Watch her testimonial about the need to preserve America's multicultural heritage:
America 2049 addresses the rights of immigrants, including forced immigrant workers, in a country that has struggled to reach a rational solution to the "foreign threats" amplified by the attacks of 9/11. The attacks changed the immigration issue in America dramatically, sparking off a wave of new legislation or a tightening of existing ones. In an intriguing article, the Southern California Public Radio (SCPR) outlined five ways in which Osama bin Laden — and the 9/11 attacks he masterminded — altered the immigration landscape in the U.S. These include, perhaps most notoriously, the establishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has been responsible for a growing number of deportations each year, as well as the now-canceled Secure Border Initiative network (SBInet) or the "virtual fence" that was planned for the entire stretch of US-Mexico border. The erosion of basic rights accelerated with the Patriot Act, which considerably expanded the government's ability to conduct surveillance over Americans.
The calls for comprehensive immigration reform have intensified over the past few years, making it even more pressing to address the rights of immigrants who have no criminal records and are working hard to become part of American society. Another aspect of the immigration debate that is brought up in America 2049 is the degradation of immigrant worker rights and forced migration. While the tragedy of 9/11 caused the government to enforce stricter anti-immigrant legislation, one of the side effects has been the neglect of immigrant worker conditions. In America 2049, players discover an actual account by a Puerto Rican laborer at Camp Bragg, Rafael F. Marchan, who protested against his deplorable working conditions in the early 1900s. Unfortunately, such situations still exist today, as reported by the New York Times about a story of "500 Indian men hired by Signal International of Alabama for rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina were confined in squalid camps, illegally charged for lodging and food, and subject to discrimination and abuse." The fact that such forced servitude of immigrant workers continues a hundred years on from the example in America 2049 proves that prompt action must be taken to restore basic human rights for everyone.
So while the world celebrates the end of a tyrant, we must remember that more than celebrating a death, we must take this opportunity to work towards lasting peace and respect for basic rights for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or background. Osama bin Laden caused much havoc around the world and claimed countless innocent lives, but letting his actions be used as a reason for the dissolution of respect and rights for hard working, innocent people can simply not be justified. As a statement that circulated virally soon after bin Laden's death was announced said- "If Osama Bin Laden is dead, can we have our rights back?" Ten years on, let's make that our main goal.

fae is Sindarin for "spirit".
Old Sindarin *phai < *phaia, Root PHAJA.
- Tolkien mentions that the name Fëanor is a Sindarinized version of the Quenya Fëanáro, but is not proper Sindarin. His genuine Sindarin name would be Faenor instead.
Fae is an archaic English word referring to "magic" or "fairies". This word was used by Tolkien in the early version of his legendarium (The Book of Lost Tales Part One) to refer to the Valar and the Elves.

Hi All,
I am new to Asp.net MVC 2. I am unable to get value for Html.TextBoxFor(m = > m.name) in view. I can get this value in Controller.
How to get this value in view.
Please help.
When inserting a simple embed of youtube inside the ajax editor, on firefox and chrome problems occur. On the other hand on internet explorer 8 everything works fine. I found this solution http://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/4228/bug-in-ajax-html-editor.aspx .
My question is where do I find the DesignPanel.pre.js ?

I have an HTML
 container that I float to the right of a gridview. When the browser window is maximized, it looks fine. When minimized, the gridview positions below the floating container and most of the data is pushed off the bottom of the browser - you have to scroll down to see it.
If I position the floating container above the gridview it looks fine in a minimized window, but looks real bad when maximized.
What I want to do is use a javascript: onresize event to re-position the floating container up or down depending on the window.inner.width AND do it with a Master/Content page structure AND do it for only the one page where needed.
I can capture the onresize event and display the window dimensions but haven't figured-out how to do it with a Content page that still uses the Master page. I think I'm having a very "thick" week...

I am having an html img tag in which the user is being shown images. However I now want to open a url when the user clicks my img. What do I need to do to be able to achieve this?
In VS 2008 there is a very useful feature of background HTML validation - it checks if CSS class name is valid i.e. it exists in one of the linked css files. But VS 2010 Express does not do that any more. And the relevant setting in Options->Text Editor->HTML->Validation->in CSS is not there. Ok, maybe they made it paid for option? VS 2010 Professional? Not there. Or maybe VS 2010 Ultimate? Not a trace.
1. am I blind?
2. they decided it is too convenient to use and removed it?
3. they will "introduce" it in SP1?
What is going on? That one thing made me move back to VS 2008 web developer.
Hey guys,
Have been VWD for a while now but VWD2010 seems to have one really annoying habbit. I'll write a whole load HTML with server tags and when I save, not always but quite often, VWD will squash all tags together in seemingly random arrangement completely removing my formatting conventions that make it easy for me to read. All the tags are still in the right order and makes no difference to how the page works, it just makes it really difficult to read quickly when scanning over it looking for a particular section.
For example:
<asp:Panel ID="pnlConfirm" runat="server" Visible="false"> <asp:Table ID="tblConfBilling" runat="server"> <asp:TableRow> <asp:TableCell>Name:</asp:TableCell> <asp:TableCell> <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Text="" /> </asp:TableCell> </asp:TableRow> <asp:TableRow> <asp:TableCell>Address:</asp:TableCell> <asp:TableCell> <asp:Label ID="lblAddress" runat="server" Text="" />
I stored in a database a ntext "Hello";
But when I read it from the database I see Hello instead of Hello.
In the html source I see this: Hello
Any Idea?
Downloaded the code from here:
The Register.cshtml is having commented code which enables sending email to users for email verification.
This is the link not getting resolved properly in the email:
var confirmationLink = Html.PageLink("~\\Account\\Confirm", "click to Ccnfirm your Account.", new {token = token});
Mail.Send(email, "Confirm Your Security Demo Account", confirmationLink.ToString());
It is opening something like this: http://confirm/?token=tR9nWxnBPN34Kag
Note: I get the email but the link is not resolved properly.
Just for workaround and testing I did this and it worked:
var confirmationLink = " Please Confirm Your Account ";
If anyone can share some light on this Html.PageLink method and why is it not working?<
I am having trouble finding out where and how to HTML Encode a cell's data on the Dynamic Data (v4.0) gridview of List.aspx. As a simple case, suppose I have formatted cell data that is A
B in the DB. Obviously, I want A stacked on B in the cell.
It seems gridView1.HtmlEncode = true has gone away.
So maybe I'll try to catch it on the RowDataBound event:
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { // Html Encode the cells } }
but this event never fires?
Has anyone figured out how to properly render HTML tags data in the List.aspx's GridView1?
If I figure this out, then I can add a MetaAttribute called something like [EncodeAsHtml(true)] and be on my way. Thanks!
I would like to create a html link button(in aspx page) so that the page could not post back and some controls to display on clicking link button.
Can any one of you help me regarding this issue?
Let me know if you have any queries.
HI all,
I was struggling for the process/code to convert html to image. Please suggest any tutorials for this. And also any code help greatly appreciated.
thanks and regards,
We have a part of our website which is coded in classic asp. This takes the values of a login page (asp.net) which uses
<input type="text" /> to hold the values and then submit them to the asp page using the following line of code -
<input type="submit" value="Login" onClick="this.form.action='<%= SubmitURL() %>/login/login_user.asp?Type=Login&this.form.encoding='application/x-www-form-urlencoded'; this.form.submit();" />
The asp page then retrieves the values using the code -
Value1 = Request.Form("Val1")
We now have a requirement to pre-populate the login values to provide an automated login process but don't want to change the older asp code. When we try to assign values to the input text in the asp.net page by assigning the value runat="server" the login fails as it does not seem to carry over when the page is submitted.
Is there a way where we can pre-populate the html textbox without making it unavailable to the asp page?
This month we examine forms in the context of AJAX applications and look at various approaches to implementing features such as auto-saving, just-in-time validation, and submission throttling.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – On Tuesday, the MIT women's tennis team faced off against the team from Brandeis College on the duPont Tennis Courts. Though the Engineers held an early lead, the bottom of the lineup prevailed for the Judges, who narrowly escaped with a 5-4 victory.
MIT's Leslie Hansen and Anastasia Vishnevetsky continued their dominance in the No. 1 doubles position, winning 8-4, while Judges Ariana Sanai and Nina Levine fought off an Engineer sweep by taking the No. 3 match 8-5, giving MIT a 2-1 lead after doubles.
In singles, Hansen posted a two-set victory [6-2, 6-4] over Rachel Rosman in the No. 1 position, and freshman Bianca Dumistrascu picked up another point for the Engineers in the No. 3 spot [1-6, 7-6, 7-5].
The Judges fought back hard, as Faith Broderick notched a win a No 2 [7-5, 6-4], while Mackenzie Gallegos, Levine, and Sarah Richman took the No. 4, 5 and 6 points to give Brandeis the slim, 5-4 edge over the Cardinal and Gray.
Brandeis (7-7) hits the courts next at Connecticut College on Sunday, April 11. MIT (5-10) plays again on Saturday, April 17, when the team travels to Saratoga Springs, N.Y. to face the Thoroughbreds of Skidmore College.
