|OpenBSD General Other questions regarding OpenBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below.

is this a correct attitude ?
Hi !
thinking outloud :
why not going current to take advantage of this only-current feature , instead of waiting several months for 5.1 stable ... while still using the OS as a production server .. that is , stopping right there after installation is done .. no more changes .. no more syncing with newmoon packages ..etc
is this legitimately applicable ?
Thank you very much ..
The answer is that the risk of running into unknown behavior which will adversely affect downtime is unacceptable. The agreement they may have with their customers may be contractually binding to providing a prescribed amount of uptime. Unknown downtime caused by running OpenBSD's branch containing freshly developed code is considered to be too large a risk.
Whereas, -release & -stable have received greater scrutiny from the project developers. While there still may be issues which affect downtime, the changes of such are smaller.
Another reason for the use of -release or -stable is that the code used for these flavors are well-known & can be accessed through CVS tags. The same cannot be said for -current snapshots. If a problem is identified in a month-old snapshot, it is difficult to impossible to track down the exact code which may be running in that situation.
Think of -release as a snapshot. But... a snapshot where development of new features was halted, and then it was carefully tested by a lot of people over a long period of time, with discovered errors resolved and corrected.
The development cycle is typically 4 months of development and 2 months of testing, twice per year.
Ocicat , Jgimmi , thank you for your clearification !!
I still need to know if it is not insane on my part to enjoy a recent x feature on -current by going -current for a production server ..
Maybe it won't be a 100% risk-free .. do some of you ever do this ? for some similar reason
I mean running a production server with -current frozen at a certain point ..
(( eg. : OpenBSD 5.0 stable failed for X on Imac .. then I had to go -current .. then stopped there and started using it as a production server .. ))
My suggestion to you is to develop a disaster plan which takes into account systems which need to be replaced/rebuilt. If it is acceptable for your Website to crash & be down for a month, then you don't need as stringent a disaster plan as other sites which exist only to facilitate business. If their sites go down, they don't make any money.
When I decide between -current or -stable, I ask myself what application is it that I need to be -current? For my workstation that would be firefox, but I don't need that on my server. I never had to upgrade any production server from -stable to -current but your needs may be different than mine.
Hi Puffy ! I agree here .. the thing is , I want to learn+test+use one machine both as a desktop and as a server .. this is no harm I bet since my server is but a simple personal non-profit webserver .. or intranet ftp server .. etc
there are some new ports that really tempt one's patience .. so we venture ahead .. :-)

Is Verizon Ready to Go All In on Verizon Wireless and Vodafone? (VZ, VOD, UBS)
The explosive growth in the wireless industry has been documented in great detail. The leaders in the industry from the carrier side continue to benefit from increased user-friendly smartphones and tablets that are quickly falling in price. Verizon Wireless, as measured by subscribers, is the largest mobile telecommunications company in the United States. Is the long anticipated consolidation between the two owners at hand?
Verizon Wireless is owned jointly, with Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) owning 55% and U.K.-based Vodafone Group PLC (NASDAQ: VOD) owning the other 45%. While Wall St. analysts have speculated for years that a deal would be done between the two to consolidate, the research team at UBS A.G. (NYSE: UBS) thinks the conditions now are right for a transaction between the companies.
Part of the reasoning behind the likelihood of a deal is a current wider valuation spread between the two companies and low interest rates in the United States. This combined with expectations for increasing wireless competitive intensity and Vodafone's desire for liquidity seem to increase the chance that the two companies will do a transaction that changes the ownership structure of Verizon Wireless and allows Vodafone to redeploy its cash.
The UBS team believes there are three possible scenarios, with the most likely one being Verizon increasing its ownership percentage. They do acknowledge the possibility that Verizon could purchase all of the Verizon Wireless it does n0t currently own. They also point out the big picture scenario that would truly be a blockbuster deal, with Verizon purchasing Vodafone. While that would be stunning, it would seem unlikely given the cost and the regulatory hurdles.
The most likely scenario again appears to be a transaction in which Verizon does indeed increase its stake in Verizon wireless. Analysts believe that it would be the easiest to finance, would still enable Vodafone to participate in the growth of the wireless business, while allowing it to redeploy some of its cash. Such a deal could be financed largely with debt and include a swap of Verizon's stake in Omnitel. Omnitel is one of the largest telecommunication companies in the Baltics. It provides services of carrying and packaging of voice, images, data, information, transactions and entertainment.
The biggest boon to Verizon from increasing its ownership of the wireless segment is twofold. Providing wireless service is a strong cash flow business. Most importantly, especially from a shareholder standpoint, it would also be accretive to earnings. UBS estimates that a 10% increase in ownership holdings would increase 2013 earnings to $2.97 a share, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 15. Current Wall St. consensus estimates for Verizon are at $2.78 per share for 2013. That 10% increase in ownership would then represent an earnings increase of 6.83%, based on estimates.
It should come as no surprise to investors that Verizon is anxious to increase its wireless ownership. With carriers now focused on providing service and bandwidth for smartphones and tablets, plus expanding entertainment content delivery, it seems like not a question of if they get a deal done, but when.

ASUS P5K-E WiFi vs. Gigabyte P35-DS4
Author: JT Smith
While all of the rage recently has been around Intel's X38 Express Chipset, there is still plenty of life left in Intel's P35 "Bearlake" Chipset. The Intel P35 is only a few months older, but it contains most of the same features as the flagship X38 aside from the PCI Express 2.0 support and a Hardware Memory Prefetcher. We have previously reviewed Intel P35 motherboards such as the ASUS Blitz Extreme and Gigabyte P35-DS3P, but in this review, we are going back and looking at two more of these Intel Bearlake motherboards. At hand today we have the ASUS P5K-E WiFi and Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboards, both of which are similar in many respects and use the P35 + ICH9R combination with DDR2 memory.

Lunar's is just fine, IMHO. I have no complaints.
Well, 5 finished the prologue, I guess. It answers all remaining questions.
One of the big strengths of this series is that _all_ characters are likable with very believable motivations. There are no 'good' or 'evil' characters so far. Nice

I agree that one of the series strong points is the realistic characters. I'm planning on showing this to my friends, it seems like a good show for non-anime watchers. Believable settings and characters, along with a well written plot and some nice twists. My roommate will enjoy it since the last show I tried to get him to watch was FLCL, he's still recovering I think.

That's surprising, because I thought that I was pretty much alone with my soft spot for Akane
She's extremely overdoing things in the present, but you can't really blame her. Very overprotective of Haruka. And in episode 2 she just cracked me up.
I hope that there's eventually going to be a translation of the game.

I think Akane's probably the best character of the bunch.
I mean, she's outgoing, she's physically adept, and yet she's also very sensitive and caring at time. (e.g. she actually changed back to elementary uniform when her sister woke up.)
And also, she's seems to be a nice person.
Too bad she's soo badly misinformed... (or is she?)

And I wonder if she's mad at Mitsuki because of her sister or because she's jealous?

The anime director should honestly edit out any unrequited love angle for Akane. Being a damned H game I understand that every female can become involved, but in Akane's case it's just stupid. If she was just angry because of jelousy, it makes her performance completely unbelievable.

I don't think it's really unbelievable. If she wouldn't have a very soft spot for Takayuki herself, she wouldn't have directed her hatred towards Mitsuki alone. She would try to protect her precious sister from a two-timer then!
Still, he thinks of him as onii-chan - why? That she cares for him is very obvious (ep5, teary Akane begging Mitsuki to take care of onee-san AND ONII-CHAN), the question is how far this care really goes.
I guess that's what eps 6-14 are for

Mahou Tsukai no Yoru, next Type-Moon's project
It would seem Type-Moon doesn't like its competitor getting ahead in this year's game race.
From Visual Novels.net
It would seem it will be based on a written novel "released" on the 1996 (it only saw a private release, it never went public) of the same name by Nasu Kinoko. Just to help dispel the rumours, it would seem it hasn't been announced whether this will be a visual novel, a commercial release of the book or whatever. We will have to wait for April 21st for more details

Can't you use the English name given? "Witch On the Holy Night"
Makes you wonder where the folks at Type-Moon get their money from before they decide to do this and after releasing Fate/hollow ataraxia. (The same goes for the folks at Key. ) Through all the franchise stuff they sell in Comiket and Akiba, perhaps?
From the name, I won't be surprised if this shares the same Type-Moon universe that Tsukihime and Fate inhabit, with references made to the vampires and Holy Grail Wars.
Back in 2004, Type-Moon released Fate opposite of Key's Clannad. Type-Moon won in terms of games sold, though Key got one back in the anime adaptation department thanks to their strategic collaboration with Kyoto Animation. This would be another interesting VN games war between the two giants.

I heard this on the beast's lair. Such great news. I had heard about Mahoutsukai back when I first got into Type-Moon. I'm happy it gets a release like this atleast.
Kinny Riddle: The summary is pretty clear in saying that it does take place in the same world. The story is about Aoko so it won't be talking about the Grail war or Vampires as much as it will talk about magic/magecraft (they are two different things mind you) aswell as her past and relationship with her sister.
The summary of the book goes as such
Spoiler for Summary:
In any case. I love Aoko (as I love most major Type-Moon characters). I'm very excited for this.

Actually this is where all the elements of the Nasu-verse stems from. A loser of a guy living with a strong willed long haired female and her dark weak willed sister in a huge mansion.
But I don't expect the original prototype to be good since he wrote it back in his student days and distribute about 10 copies to his closest friends for opinions.
Now that he has drag the entire thing out into the open, I believe that Nasu had done some massive improvement to the writings. It will be interesting if someone had obtained a original copy to see how bad Nasu was after the release of this.
But the main issue I have with this announcement is not whether Nasu is/was a good/bad writer, but why is TM dragging out his old titles for sale ? Don't they have enough faith in him in producing a new piece of work ?
If they are not confident in him, why don't they train/recruit a new writer ? Or perhaps TM has already had this in mind and is using Nasu's old works for testing ground with edits done by somebody new.

As for getting a new writer TM would never do that as TM is Nasu's and Takeuchi's company
Also the text says:
In the mansion on the top of a slope, two witches are living

Even a prodigy starts out as a rough diamond and it takes some polishing before he shines so I still like people to see the original unedited script before passing on judgement.

It seems Type-Moon counter to Key's alliance with 07 Expansion was...
a 3 combo attack involving the aforementioned Mahou Tsukai no Yoru, a Tsukihime remake were the CG's will be done from scratch, and will finally include Satsuki as a proper heroin, and a completely new game called Girl's work in which Nasu (the main writer for Tsukihime and Fate/Stay night) won't participate.

Encouraging news with today's lineup
Posted by Mandy Housenick | June 02, 2013 at 12:04 PM
It appears Jimmy Rollins convinced Charlie Manuel to put him in the lineup.
The Phillies shortstop was not in the original lineup, but as he walked out of Manuel's office and walked by the dry-erase board that had the lineup posted (he wasn't in it), he wiped most of it anyway.
A few minutes later, the lineup was rewritten and Rollins' name was inserted into the three-hole.
Rollins did not start Saturday's game because he had a sore right foot after being hit by two foul balls in Friday's game.
And although Manuel said Ryan Howard told him his knee was really bothering him yesterday, he's back in there today.
Here is today's starting lineup:
CF Revere, 2B Hernandez, SS Rollins, 1B Howard, LF Brown, RF Mayberry, C Kratz, 3B Galvis, P Lee.

Checking in on… the MACPosted by Brian Goodman on January 28th, 2011
Alex Varone is the RTC correspondent for the Mid-American Conference.
A Look Back
First, a quick look at the Mid-American Conference Standings (with conference records only).
Buffalo 4-2
Kent St. 4-2
Miami (Ohio) 4-2
Bowling Green 4-2
Akron 2-4
Ohio 2-4
Ball State 5-1
Western Michigan 3-3
Northern Illinois 3-3
Central Michigan 2-4
Eastern Michigan 2-4
Toledo 1-5
The conference season is just heating up, but the early returns in league play indicate that this conference is wide-open and full of surprises. This is most true in the East Division, where the preseason favorites were Ohio, Akron, and Kent State. Only the Golden Flashes have lived up to the promise so far, and are arguably the MAC's most complete team. With quality talent coming back at Ohio and Akron, both teams were supposed to be right there with Kent State competing for a MAC regular season championship, but now thanks to the surprising strong play of Buffalo and Bowling Green, the Bobcats and Zips might just have a tough time escaping from the cellar of the standings.
Out West, Ball State has taken control of the division without much resistance. Overall, this was supposed to the season where the West narrowed the gap between itself and the East, but the bottom of the West is as weak as ever. Meanwhile, three-time defending West regular-season champ Central Michigan stumbled out of the gate and hasn't recovered to this point. Considering the expectations surrounding the Chippewas this season, Central Michigan has been as disappointing as any team in this conference.
Star Watch
Buffalo's surge to the top of the MAC East standings can be attributed to the surprising play of Javon McCrea, Byron Mulkey and Zach Filzen. The freshman McCrea is third on the Bulls in scoring at 10.7 PPG, and his 67.8% field-goal percentage is good for third in the nation. The senior Mulkey is second on the Bulls in scoring at 14.3 PPG, and his 3.0 steals per game is the sixth-best total in the country.
But Buffalo's leading scorer is junior Zach Filzen (14.8 PPG), who has emerged as one of the top offensive threats in the MAC after only playing just over seven minutes per game last season. In the Bulls' last two wins, Filzen has made 11 three-pointers, and on the season, Filzen is shooting 42.2% from three-point range and his mark of 62 treys on the campaign pace the conference and ties him for tenth in the nation.
Power Rankings (last week's ranking in parentheses)
1. Ball State (1)
The excitement of a seven-game win streak and a 13-4 (5-0) start has worn off a little after Ball State's current two-game losing streak, which includes a sloppy two-point non-conference home loss to Morehead State, and a discouraging 13 point home loss to Kent State. The two losses don't change the fact that the Cardinals have been the best team in the Mid-American Conference to date and should still cruise to a West Division title.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 vs. Ohio, Feb. 1 at Miami (Ohio), Feb. 5 vs. Buffalo, Feb. 9 at Bowling Green
2. Kent State (2)
After establishing itself as the top team in the MAC during the non-conference season, Kent State struggled through a perplexing three-game losing streak to ring in the new year. The Golden Flashes have since rebounded with four wins in five games, culminating in the most impressive conference win of the season by a MAC team–a 13-point win at previously unbeaten Ball State. Kent State has a chance to put some distance between itself and the rest of the East Division with home games coming up against three of the worst teams in the MAC.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 30 vs. Toledo, Feb. 2 at Western Michigan, Feb. 5 vs. Central Michigan, Feb. 9 vs. Eastern Michigan
3. Buffalo (7)
After a pair of three-point losses against Bowling Green and Miami (Ohio) to open the conference season, Buffalo responded with a three-point victory of its own against Akron. Buffalo also rolled over Kent State by 24 points, and won road games at Ohio by five points and at Western Michigan by eleven points. Four straight wins have vaulted Buffalo into contention, and with home games coming up against bottom-feeders Northern Illinois, Toledo, and Central Michigan, the Bulls should remain near the top of the East Division standings.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 vs. Northern Illinois, Feb. 2 vs. Toledo, Feb. 5 at Ball State, Feb. 8 vs. Central Michigan
4. Miami (Ohio) (3)
A 21-point road loss at Kent State this past Sunday was not a good sign for Miami (Ohio), but the RedHawks got a much-needed road win Thursday night at Central Michigan to snap a win-loss-win-loss streak that has occurred over their previous four games. After a tough schedule to start MAC play, the RedHawks' slate finally gets a little easier over the next couple of weeks, with games against Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Toledo coming up.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 vs. Western Michigan, Feb. 1 vs. Ball State, Feb. 5 at Eastern Michigan, Feb. 9 vs. Northern Illinois
5. Bowling Green (8)
Is Bowling Green really the fifth-best team in the MAC? Probably not. But Bowling Green is playing as well as anyone in the conference lately, having won eight of its last ten games. The Falcons recently defeated Miami (Ohio) and Ohio by comfortable margins before suffering a five-point setback at Akron. Bowling Green avoided a further letdown by beating lowly Toledo on the road by six points. With three of their next four at home, the Falcons have a chance to continue its climb into contention.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 vs. Eastern Michigan, Feb. 2 at Northern Illinois, Feb. 5 vs. Western Michigan, Feb. 9 vs. Ball State
6. Akron (4)
With only one win in its last five games, Akron has suddenly turned into one the MAC's biggest mysteries. During this slump, the Zips have struggled on the defensive end, allowing 79 points in a home loss to Ohio, 73 points at Buffalo, 84 points at Miami (Ohio), and 83 points at Northern Illinois. The next four games will be crucial to Akron's season, as all four are winnable contests against the league's worst teams. But a couple of losses could put the Zips in a hole that it won't be able to climb out of.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 30 vs. Central Michigan, Feb. 2 at Eastern Michigan, Feb. 5 at Toledo, Feb. 9 vs. Western Michigan
7. Western Michigan (6)
All season, Western Michigan has shown flashes of being a quality team and the type of team that could challenge Ball State in the West Division. A 17-point thrashing of Eastern Michigan and an 82 point offensive outburst against Northern Illinois are recent evidence of that, but each of those wins was followed up with an equally disappointing loss. A 13 point loss at Toledo and a 11 point home loss against Buffalo could haunt the Broncos later in the year.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 at Miami (Ohio), Feb. 2 vs. Kent State, Feb. 5 at Bowling Green, Feb. 9 at Akron
8. Ohio (5)
As has been documented in this space previously, Ohio has been victimized by some uncharacteristically tough losses. That stretch of close losses continued with a one-possession loss to Kent State, and was followed by losses at Bowling Green and vs. Buffalo that dropped the Bobcats to 8-11 (1-4) and last place in the East Division, a place that most Bobcat fans didn't expect to see their team this season. Ohio bounced back with a double-digit win over Eastern Michigan, but this team needs to get on a hot streak soon, otherwise the Bobcats might have to once again win the MAC Tournament as a No. 9 seed (or worse).
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 at Ball State, Feb. 2 at Central Michigan, Feb. 5 vs. Northern Illinois, Feb. 9 vs. Toledo
9. Northern Illinois (9)
If you watch a Northern Illinois basketball game, chances are it's going to be a close contest. Just over a week after defeating Eastern Michigan by two points, the Huskies lost on the road at Central Michigan and at Western Michigan by a single basket each. Northern Illinois did manage to pick up its third conference win of the season in a comfortable nine-point win over Akron that once again showcasedXavier Silas's outstanding scoring ability. Silas scored 39 points in the victory, his sixth 30-point game of the season, to lift his average to 24.4 points per game (tied for second in the nation).
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 at Buffalo, Feb. 2 vs. Bowling Green, Feb. 5 at Ohio, Feb. 9 at Miami (Ohio)
10. Central Michigan (10)
Central Michigan's disappointing season continues, as the Chippewas have now squandered multiple opportunities to win important games. After getting to 2-2 in MAC play with a win over Northern Illinois, Central Michigan dropped an ugly 41-38 affair at Eastern Michigan that saw the Chippewas only score 13 points in the first half. Thursday night's home loss to Miami (Ohio) leaves Central Michigan gasping for air and with a very difficult upcoming slate, which includes three of the next four games on the road, all against quality MAC opponents.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 30 at Akron, Feb. 2 vs. Ohio, Feb. 5 at Kent State, Feb. 8 at Buffalo
11. Eastern Michigan (11)
Eastern Michigan manages to stay out of the basement of the Power Rankings thanks to the aforementioned 41-38 victory over Central Michigan. But in the victory over Central Michigan, Eagles leading scorer and double-double machine, Brandon Bowdry, only contributed 6 points, and only followed that up with 8 points in a 14 point loss at Ohio.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 29 at Bowling Green, Feb. 2 vs. Akron, Feb. 5 vs. Miami (Ohio), Feb. 9 at Kent State
12. Toledo (12)
Much as it did during the non-conference season, Toledo continues to compete in every game, which may not be enough to win often, but occasionally it will lead to a double-digit victory, as it did when Toledo defeated Western Michigan. Sophomore Malcolm Griffin shone brightly in that victory, as he has for the past four games, where he has averaged 25.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per contest.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 30 at Kent State, Feb. 2 at Buffalo, Feb. 5 vs. Akron, Feb. 9 at Ohio

The demand for non-GM grain is small but growing as more foreign markets demand labels for GM foods. The big question is, What seed should fill your planter box?
Although it may be hard for farmers to swallow, far from dissipating, consumer resistance to genetically modified (GM) crops and foods continues to spread throughout the world. Consider these recent developments:
* The list of countries planning to require labeling of GM foods continues to grow. * Increasingly, food processors are looking for sources of grain free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to meet labeling requirements and consumer demand abroad. * Brazil's southern-most state, Rio Grande do Sul, is treating GM soybeans as if they were drug plants and is offering farmers special low-interest loans if they rip up the biotech beans, which are illegal throughout Brazil. * The Tokyo Grain Exchange will offer the world's first futures contract for non-GM soybeans this spring.
"The momentum of consumer resistance has picked up steam in recent weeks," says Neil Harl, professor of economics at Iowa State University (ISU). "Food processors are not risk takers. They will take the safest route, deliver what the consumer wants and protect their brands."
This product contains GM ingredients Increasingly, countries are requiring that GM foods be labeled as such. The European Union (EU), Japan and Korea have passed laws requiring labeling of GM foods. Countries with proposed food labeling programs include Canada, Thailand, Russia, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, Philippines, Russia and the U.S. The EU's food labeling program requires labeling of products with a proposed 1% or more GM content. The labeling law affects restaurants, grocers and caterers as well as food processors. Japan's food labeling plan will go into effect in April 2001 with a proposed tolerance level of 5% GM content in foods containing soy protein. Japan will not label soy oil, which does not contain protein and therefore does not contain modified DNA. South Korea is the first country to announce a labeling program for raw grain with a proposed 5% tolerance level that could impact grain shipments as early as March 2001.
Uncertainty over meat labeling "Up to this point there has been nothing to discourage GM grain from being used in livestock and poultry feed," says Bob Wisner, ISU ag economist. "This is good news since 75% of the U.S. corn crop is fed to livestock. But growers will need to watch developing labeling plans closely to see whether GM labeling laws will apply to retail meat products and livestock feeds. If that happens, it will affect a much larger share of our market."
Harl adds, "Despite the fact that GM residues are undetectable in meat, some customers from the Far East are asking when the U.S. will be able to certify GMO-free meat." The EU is drafting novel feed regulations that could impact how biotech feed ingredients are labeled, sold and traced in livestock production. The EU, until last year, accounted for roughly one-third of U.S. soy exports, and 80% of that soy tonnage is destined for the feed market.
Soybean meal exports plunge The EU market could already be discriminating against GM soybean meal. USDA's mid-December marketing report indicates that soybean exports and outstanding unshipped export sales so far this season are about even with a year ago but that soybean meal sales to the EU are down 90% from a year ago. "Last year's U.S. soybean and meal exports to the EU were down 28% and 77%, respectively, from previous year. In short, U.S. soybean meal exports to the EU have fallen to just a trickle in one year's time despite low prices," Wisner says. The EU is the largest U.S. soybean export market by a wide margin.
"Labeling food does not guarantee loss of market for GM crops. It depends on how consumers react and how much they are willing to pay for non-GM products," Wisner says. BST-free milk died a quick death with most American consumers who voted with their pocketbooks and chose to buy the cheaper unlabeled milk instead. Look for early indications of consumer reactions to labels on GM foods during the next six months, in the EU and Japan.
Market for non-GM grain small, but growing Identity-preserved non-GM corn and soybeans represented less than 2% of the total market in 1999. It's a small, but growing niche market. "CG&B expects its demand for non-GM crops to double this year," says John Haas, market development, Consolidated Grain & Barge Co. "The demand for non-GM crops will continue until public acceptance catches up with the technology."
In an interview this fall with ISU ag economist Roger Ginder, Martin Andreas, CEO of Archers Daniel Midland, stated, "Requests for non-GMO food ingredients from European and Japanese customers have increased a great deal. There is a considerable amount of export business at stake here and we feel we have to protect this business. There are alternate sources for the ingredients we supply from the U.S." He went on to list non-GM soybeans from Brazil, non-GM corn from Eastern Europe, tapioca and field peas. "Where convenient, we encourage farmers to segregate non-genetically enhanced crops to preserve their identity," he said.
Modest premium potential In 1999, grower premiums for non-GM soybeans ranged from $0.05 to $0.30/bu., while premiums for non-GM corn ranged from $0.02 to $0.20/bu. These offers were not widespread.
According to a Sparks Companies' survey of 100 elevators in nine corn-producing states, only 1% paid a premium for non-GM corn and 3% paid a premium for non-GM soybeans in 1999. That survey and another of more than 700 elevators indicated that about 10% of the elevators segregated GM crops from non-GM crops in 1999.
"I'd expect significant premiums in some markets if less than 25% of the corn crop was usable (not commingled) non-GMO," says Iowa's Wisner. "With that supply, I would not expect GMO corn prices to be discounted unless some big users put labels on meat products and livestock feed. The situation is in a state of flux pending details of labeling plans in the U.S., South Korea and Japan." Japan and South Korea are the number one and two export markets for our corn.
Cenex Harvest States is not seeing premiums for non-GM crops in 2000. "The market is just too uncertain," says Dave Christofore, vice president of market development for Cenex Harvest States. However, the company is helping growers develop production protocols for identity-preserved grains in hopes of taking advantage of market premiums that may develop later. "We think an identity preservation system will be useful beyond the current GMO debate as crops with consumer health benefits reach the marketplace. We're interested in helping the farmer train himself in how to grow for the next millennium," Christofore says.
Beyond Japan, overseas buyers have thus far been reluctant to pay extra for non-GM crops. "While there has been a lot of noise in Europe, I am unaware of any major purchase bid requests for non-biotech soybeans from Europe," says Bob Callanan, communications director with the American Soybean Association. He notes that Japan has actively contracted production of non-GM food-grade soybeans with U.S. soybean growers for premiums of $0.35 to $0.55.
Chris Wehrman, CEO of the National Corn Growers Association, notes, "There were no noticeable premiums or discounts in the corn marketplace in 1999. This is an evolving market and we don't know how much demand there will be for non-biotech corn or whether premiums will be paid in 2000."
It should be noted that U.S. corn exports to the EU have dwindled to nothing because of biotech grain issues. EU-unapproved GM corn is of concern to U.S. processors since the EU market for U.S. corn gluten and meal is a major one.
Grain companies buying biotech grain In December, Cargill announced it will accept crops enhanced through modern biotechnology at all of its grain-handling, oilseed-processing and corn wet milling facilities. All major U.S. grain companies indicate they will accept all GM corn and soybeans approved in the U.S. and the EU. The grain companies will require growers to declare whether a grain shipment contains either EU-approved, yet-to-be approved or conventional grain. Most will help producers channel corn awaiting EU approval to domestic markets. As grain companies attempt to segregate some portion of non-GM grain, it's likely they will require special delivery days and times to accomplish the identity preservation. That's how CG&B and Cenex Harvest States handled the task last year.
Decisions, decisions To make the best planting decision, you need to know where your corn and soybeans will go after harvest. Factor in your production, storage and transportation costs and any expected premiums or discounts. If your grain is going to the export market, you will need to be sensitive to customers on the other side of the world. If your grain goes for livestock feed and is used domestically, planting and marketing GM crops will be less of an issue.
Keep in mind that crops planted this spring will have to meet market demands 18 months after planting. ISU's Ginder warns, "Right now, very few people know what those demands will be. Things are changing day to day, and it's hard to predict what the level of demand will be or what the premium might be."
Seed certification group develops program to preserve crop identity for export markets A process devised by a group of seed certification agencies may help the U.S. retain its soybean export markets to Asia. The process is a third-party identity-preserved (IP) program for grain.
The group expects companies to use it to verify grain identity when exporting overseas.
"This will help preserve U.S. market share in markets that are concerned and want a new category of soybeans like non-biotech soybeans," reports Kim Nill, American Soybean Association. "It looks like we will be able to make a smooth transition from the former mixed soybeans going to Asian soy foods to non-biotech ones without losing a single bushel of U.S. market share."
Under the program, products that have met specific requirements that preserve their identity to a desired purity will carry the IP logo. Japan appears willing to accept the program for identifying grain, Nill adds.
Not a new program. The program was first developed by the Illinois Crop Improvement Association (ICIA). "The IP program is not new," Dennis Thompson of ICIA states. "We have been working on this for many years. We have operated an IP grain laboratory for 10 years."
Now the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agency (AOSCA), an organization of 42 U.S. and Canada seed certification agencies, including ICIA, has adopted and further developed the IP program.
AOSCA expects companies to enlist its help in designing and conducting company IP programs.
AOSCA will be an independent, third-party verifier for preserving the identity of grains.
Thompson explains that AOSCA will not determine if a trait is good or bad, only if the grain contains or does not contain the trait.
Last summer, AOSCA adopted specific requirements for non-genetically modified (GM) corn and soybeans. As other programs for other traits or grains are needed, AOSCA will develop them.
The IP program offers the upper purity levels of 99% for corn and 99_1/2% for soybeans. AOSCA states that 100% non-GM purity is not possible. Companies may select lower purity levels for their own programs.
The IP program will be tested on soybean exports to Japan, which plans to label GM products in the future. "We deeply appreciate AOSCA's IP efforts to help assure that those soybeans come from soybean farmers," Nill adds.
Grower requirements. AOSCA's IP program sets base requirements needed to preserve the grain's identity. The requirements for some projects include the following: * Seed must be from known sources with invoices provided. A test confirming non-GM status is recommended. * IP corn and soybeans must be grown where a different crop was grown the year before, or where the same hybrid or variety was grown. No IP crop may be raised on land on which a GM cropfor seed was raised the year before. * The corn crop must be isolated by 660 ft. from GM corn fields. A grower with a field larger than 20 acres may modify that rule by removing 8 adjacent rows after pollination if the field is 165 ft. or more from a GM corn field or by removing 16 rows if the field is less than 165 ft. away from GM corn. * The fields must be inspected during pollination and again post pollination if requirements are not being met. * The fields must be clearly identified with the hybrid or variety number. Bins also must be identified by number. * GM soybean fields must be isolated by an adequate distance to prevent mixing seed. The level of contamination with other varieties cannot exceed _1/2%. The fields must be inspected before harvest. * Crop samples must be taken and tested in approved laboratories. * Planting, harvesting, conveying, storing and handling equipment must be thoroughly cleaned before IP products are run through it.

hmmm Grandia 2 is very good (I think best of the series) but I always hear bad stuff about the PS2 version.
But since Skies of Arcadia is 130$ on Amazon, I think Growlanser is the winner for now. But I'm still open for more suggestions! Hit me! :)
Based on your "played" list I'm taking you're more into JRPGs and I noticed there's one missing on your list that it's tons of fun and it's somewhat new: Resonance of FateThe story is kind of convoluted but everything else is really good and the battle system is unlike anything I remember, I highly recommend it.
Skies of Arcadia is one of the best games ever made.
Skies of Arcadia is one of the best games ever made. Played both versions. Wish, somehow, it would get released as a download somewhere, before it gets lost in time.

"Gizmodo editor's new years party circa 2006"—slowreader
The YouTube movement takes another mainstream media step forward. Barenaked Ladies enlisted a bunch of YouTube "stars" that will lipsync for there new video. The cast includes the Numa Numa kid, the Diet Coke/Mentos guys, and "Brookers".
I don't know which stat is crazier, that in 2012 there will be an estimated 3.7 trillion text messages sent. Or that there will be $67 billion worth of revenue reaped from all of those messages.
Cuba, is following in the paths of Brazil & Venezuela with their
migration to open source instead of Microsoft. Cuba's main reason for the switch is because of growing fears that MS has installed back doors so that the US government can snoop around, which doesn't sound completely out of the question.
Microsoft is being sued again, this time by Virnet X. They are claiming that the big MS is infringing on a couple of their VPN patents and are looking for some obvious monetary compensation.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk
Twenty-eight chapter members participated in the annual
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Canton, OH. The event included 208
teams and over 1,300 participants who raised over $100,000. The chapter's Pink
Freud team walked the total 6.9 miles, raised $290, and some were even daring
enough to go up the McKinley Memorial Monument stairs!
How long did it take your chapter to plan
this event?This was the
second year our team participated in the walk, so there was less preparation
needed. We began recruiting members approximately one month prior to the walk.
Did your chapter enjoy this project?This was a
wonderful opportunity to participate in a community event, spread the word
about Psi Chi and Walsh University, and donate money to an extremely worthy
cause. Thankfully, the weather was much nicer this year—cold, but sunny. The
energy at the walk was fantastic!
Do you think your chapter will want to do
more events like this in the future?Yes, I think
this event was eye-opening for the Psi Chi members and that they will be very
willing to participate in community events like this in the future.
If you were planning the event again, what
would you do differently?Next year we
hope to open it up to the entire university rather than just the psychology
majors. We'd also like to set up a table to collect additional donations.

NJ Senate OKs In-State Tuition Rate For Immigrants
The state Senate has passed a bill allowing New Jersey residents who were brought to the United States illegally as children to pay in-state tuition rates for college.
Monday's vote was 25-12.
The bill permits this group of residents, who are not citizens, to attend state colleges and universities at the cheaper in-state rate. The Assembly passed a similar bill, but the Assembly version does not include a provision allowing undocumented students to receive financial aid.
Incoming Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto has indicated the Assembly would amend its bill. But it's not known whether Gov. Chris Christie would sign the legislation.
One Republican senator said the state doesn't have enough slots to accommodate college students who are citizens.
At least a dozen other states have similar legislation on their books.

OKANOGAN Longtime education advocate and champion of the poor Hazel Burnett died Friday at her home.
She was 87.
After working in retail and banking, she started working for Okanogan County Community Action in 1967 as a fiscal officer and executive secretary. She became the agency's executive director in 1969.
"She was such a giant in developing social equality and educational programs in the Okanogan," former Omak resident Mary Koch said.
Burnett served on the Mid-Valley Hospital Board for many years, and also served as board chairwoman.
She worked for the North Central Educational Service District, and later worked to establish Wenatchee Valley College's presence in Okanogan County. She served on the Board of Trustees, helped with fundraising and taught a class there at age 86.
"She was one of the true transformational leaders this community had," Wenatchee Valley College at Omak history professor and former north campus dean David Lindeblad said. "She left so many, so very many positive, wonderful legacies for the Okanogan and her legacy will be felt for generations to come."
At Community Action, Burnett helped start six senior citizen centers, Okanogan County Transportation and Nutrition, senior apartment housing, farmers markets, Colville tribal and county alcohol programs, Head Start, water and sewer systems and seven home health programs. She also assisted in development of Winthrop's Western theme.
She retired from the agency in 1981.
"She was so feisty and a true fighter for poor people," Omak resident Betty Fry said.
Burnett received many awards, including an award from the Governor's Office, emeritus status on the Wenatchee Valley College board, Washington Volunteer of the Year in 1984, Soroptimist International regional Woman of the Year in 2004.
She married Cal Stevens in 1945; they later parted ways. She married rancher and Okanogan postmaster Howard Burnett in 1974, and spent many years on their ranch south of Okanogan until they sold it to their grandson, Christopher Freel, and his wife Kimberly Freel.
In recent years, she assisted at Precht-Harrison-Nearents Chapel in Okanogan.
Among her survivors are her husband, Howard of Okanogan; four children; a daughter-in-law, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Memorials are suggested to Okanogan County Community Action and the nursing program at Wenatchee Valley College at Omak.
A service will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Precht-Harrison-Nearents Chapel, 2547 Elmway, Okanogan.

Pets pets pets
This "Dog Overload" column coincides with the last day of school, marking eight years since I retired from teaching. Back then, NYS had revamped testing (sound familiar?) and sent a language arts sampler for all third-graders called "Toad Overload" which we analyzed so much I could see the test in my sleep.
The toads have been replaced by dogs (and cats). I have way too many needy pets packed into my brain at any given moment. When I was in the classroom I couldn't go as overboard with shelter work. I find it hard to believe that I once did rescue, wrote the column and taught 30 miles away. Don't know how I ever had time to teach.
I used to mark papers until about midnight, falling asleep while finishing up. Some poor kids got back work with mysterious red ink pools (where my Sharpie landed when I dozed off). After retirement I've broadened the rescue reach, and find myself writing press releases, responses, posts, newsletters and even "Pets" 'til the wee hours of the morning. Usually the sound of my mouse crashing on the floor will wake me from a cat nap at 3 a.m. to resume writing.
Here's a sample of some of my rescue requests and tasks over one 48- hour period last week. Most, but not all, are on behalf of Last Hope dogs/ cats:
• Checking with the new owner of a Chihuahua from West Virginia to see how pooch is recovering after most of his teeth were pulled, and to see how he is fitting in with his new Italian Greyhound and Schnauzer siblings.
• Returning Last Hope hotline call from a groomer concerned that a client has a stolen dog- no call back.
• Postponing my Afghan Hound's grooming appointment because we are supposed to get soaked with two inches of rain.
• Checking on progress of two tiny Kentucky hoarder dogs in new homes, trying to figure why one gets along with a Chihuahua puppy at cousin's house, but not at her own domain.
• Making sure our vet knows the background story on an emaciated Pit just pulled from Hempstead Shelter at the shelter's request.
• After trapping a mother cat and four kittens in a yard with lots of help from homeowners, trying to convince same homeowners that the feral mom needs to be released in their yard, and explaining why she must get her bearings in familiar territory, but will probably not stay there because her under-the-shed nursery is gone and the dog has reclaimed his yard.
• Arranging for trainer to visit home to evaluate behavioral issues of an adopted dog that previously spent his life chained and starved.
• Listening to trainer's assessment on whether a Last Hope Pit, longtime favorite from Babylon Shelter, will eventually ignore cat in new owner's yard.
• Meeting with teachers from middle school and elementary school in Hicksville to accept donations from students, then posting appreciation on website and Facebook.
• Asked to help friend of a Last Hope volunteer who stars in an MTV show to arrange for transport to NYC of a Houston shelter Sharpei mix puppy he found on Petfinder.
• Asked by friend in Georgia for contacts for her LI high school classmate presently in Oregon. The man is a Vietnam veteran suffering from PTSD who must surrender his beloved Labradors because he is being admitted for treatment.
• Having the privilege of proofreading Pointer historian friend's article for Show Sight magazine. This friend in Oregon proofs "Pets" for me each week. The three-hour time zone gap helps us communicate since I'm online most of the night.
• Getting baseline blood work to new owner of our heartworm-treated Lab mix (Babylon alumnus) so she can give the data to her vet in Mattituck.
• Winning the auction bid for rare 1903 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show catalogue but losing out on the 1901. Westminster had the Babylon clubhouse and kennels during both these years.
• Sending hospital photos to new owner of our Pit pooch (Babylon boy) who had three orthopedic plates put in his leg.
• Planning to speed through my weekly Last Hope dog volunteer newsletter - The Woof Street Journal - only to find my Norton being uncooperative. Instead, I spent an hour on the phone with my new best friend Noel in India, the Norton tech support.
• Acting as liaison so a tiny, white, longhaired kitten with a deep puncture wound filled with maggots would be hospitalized under Last Hope's care. A woman tried to grab the kitten, and called the police who did catch her. The officer dropped the kitten off at Babylon Shelter but the shelter's regular vet was not working that day. Kitten's prognosis remains guarded.
• Now that I have become an ADHD adult, posting Last Hope and Babylon Shelter dogs and cats on their Facebook pages ad infinitum instead of writing what I am supposed to be writing.
• Gathering the troops, the pups and a Jeep full of props for the Last Hope table at Suffolk County Bar Association's annual "Dog Day Agility Demo & Adoption Fair" at St. Joseph's College.
• Coordinating sale of $5 shopping passes to benefit Last Hope during "Macy's Charity Shopping Day" on Sat., Aug. 24, when the new Bay Shore store has a presale. Those with shopping passes get a 25% discount on most every item, including designer brands not normally discounted like Dooney & Burke and Coach, at any Macy's in the US. If interested in a pass, contact me at email@example.com.
Adoptables at Babylon Town Shelter (631-643- 9270): Lamar St. W. Babylon: "Samson" # 13-290 a majestic Siberian Husky, kicking off summer in the shelter pool. He would rather be in YOUR pool. Also featuring "Ebony" #13-309 the six year old outgoing German Shepherd again.
Cats: "Sophie #3-328, gray tabby, "Bobby" #-143 senior sweetie; caboodle of adorable kittens, already spayed/neutered.

This is right about the time of year when teams begin unofficially falling out of playoff contention. And we'd hate to see you waste your time with a team that has a fork in its back, which is why we present you with the DONE-O-METER, which helps us calculate which teams are done and which teams aren't. Today's subject: The Oakland Raiders.
TRENDING: Middling. Even after winning three in a row, I felt like the Raiders were frauds. Then they went to Miami and got 34 hung up on them in just three quarters. It's hard to overstate just how badly the Raiders got beaten by Miami. And while I know Miami is on a late season Tear of Vengeance, that's not the kind of loss you usually see suffered by a division titlist.
The good news for the Raiders is that they play in a division LOADED with frauds (San Diego, Kansas City), so second place is the worst they can do. The bad news is that they are now looking up at Tim Tebow, Savior Of Worlds, with the collective sports media all in agreement that, "Something is HAPPENING in Denver. Something special!" I don't actually believe in Tebow's team being lifted up by some kind of divine influence. But I DO believe that the Raiders are a secretly average team regressing back to the mean. Speaking of which...
SCHEDULE: NOT FAVORABLE. They have to go to Green Bay this week (Want a team that has truly been touched by greatness? Here you go), then they have the fading Lions at home the following week. Ndamukong Suh will be back for that game, and I suspect he'll have lots of anger issues to work out on the field. The Raiders then end with the Chiefs and Chargers. Norv's last game! Tell me the Chargers won't want to send out Norv on a high note! Just kidding. They'll probably pack his khakis for him.
Meanwhile, the Broncos get three fading teams for their final four games (Bears, Bills, Chiefs), plus one all-but-certain loss to New England in Week 15. If both teams win out, Denver would have the edge thanks to conference record. If the Broncos lose to New England and Oakland loses to Green Bay and both teams finish 10-6, the Broncos STILL nab first place on conference record. That would leave the Raiders fighting for the Wild Card with the likes of the Jets, Titans, and Bengals.
DONENESS: Medium. I think the Raiders will lose to Green Bay, and I think Carson Palmer has at least one stinkbomb left in him before the regular season is over. That leaves them at 9-7. That may still get them the #6 seed, but not much further.

ABC's Lost returned from its midseason vacation last night, in a new 10 p.m. time slot to avoid Fox's juggernaut American Idol. Lost scored a 6.5 rating in 18-49, with 14.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen Research.
Lost ratings are down about seven percent from the fall season-three premiere. ABC will run an unbroken string of new episode for the remainder of the season in response to fan complaints that there were too many reruns.
On Fox, Idol continued to dominate, with 11.8/27 in 18-49, 27.6 million viewers overall. Still enjoying its Super Bowl bump was CBS's Criminal Minds, up 50 percent from its last Idol-opposite episode, with a 5.1 rating and 17.2 million viewers.

The third edition of the "CSI" franchise sets up shop in the Big Apple, where taciturn Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) leads a crime-solving team. Like his counterparts in Las Vegas and Miami, Taylor knows that people may lie, but the evidence rarely does. In the city that never sleeps,CSI: NY never rests. A spin-off from CSI: Miami, the third edition to the CSI franchise follows a New York City forensics team/police officers headed by former tough Marine Major, Det. Mac Taylor. Against a backdrop of simmering ethnic and cultural tensions, Taylor probes cases similar to their Las Vegas and Miami counterparts, along with his team of Detectives, consisting of Det. Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo), Det. Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap), and Det. Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper). The CSIs work alongside Medical Examiner Sid Hammerback (Robert Joy), lab rat Adam Ross (A.J. Buckley), hardcore homicide Det. Don Flack (Eddie Cahill) and the newest addition to the team, Det. Jo Danville (Sela Ward), an experienced investigator from Washington, D.C., whose work is driven by her empathy for the victim. Former team members include the late Det. Aiden Burn (Vanessa Ferlito) and Mac's former second in command, Det. Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes).moreless

of Dreams
Maureen Lang
How do you separate a dream from a whim? For me, the answer is found in longevity.
When I was a little girl, I dreamed about being all sorts of things. A veterinarian, a rancher, a teacher, a librarian. I'd think about it all the time, at least for the period of time I was interested in each vocation. I'd read books about the topic, talk to people about it, think about.
But eventually the desire to learn more would fade; I would end up, instead, thinking of story ideas that included veterinarians, ranchers, teachers or librarians. I found myself living out interesting vocations in a vicarious sense, through the "lives" of my characters.
I was quite young when I noticed the trend, but like many sensible people I reined in my loftiest visions of literary success. I wrote my stories, shared them with close friends, but never really thought I would depend on such a dream for a living. It was something I sensed I'd always be interested in, but I'd done enough investigating to have learned most writers didn't earn enough solely from writing to support themselves.
But even if I didn't dream of making millions from writing, I did still dream about sharing my stories with the widest possible audience—which meant seriously pursuing publication, no matter what kind of money it earned (or didn't!).
So I nurtured my dream of publication by action, because clearly this dream was not going away. I just learned to keep my expectations reasonable. I joined a critique group, entered national contests for feedback, received encouragement from a network around me and continued learning by reading. But while I did all that I went about my life the way most of the other girls in my neighborhood did. I got married right out of high school, which was common back then. I would've loved going to college, but that wasn't the path either my family or my environment encouraged. I was too much a pleaser to forge my own pathway separate from what was expected.
When I was in my early twenties I received a contract in the mail—a New York publisher wanted to publish one of my historical romances. That was my first taste of having my dream come true.
But could it still be called a whim, after all that? When my personal life went through some challenges, a divorce, single-parenthood, returning to the business world, I was forced to give up writing. As I'd suspected, despite three books published in the secular romance genre, writing didn't pay enough to live on. And between working, being with my daughter and starting a new personal life, I just didn't have the energy to write any more.
I didn't write for fifteen years. My dreams of a steady career in the publishing world withered for lack of nourishment and attention.
However, deep inside, at the core, the dream never really died, even though from the look of things it certainly seemed that way. But I still read, I still had story ideas pop up every now and then. And eventually when my life settled down again, my writing dreams perked up as alive as ever.
I wrote whenever I could, as if a dam had burst and all those pent up words and images and characters had to flow. I'd remarried and had the security of being home, and from that place of safety found the time to pick up my dream again. It took about three years, but with persistence coupled with the re-entry into critique groups, networking at conferences, and stubborn refusal to let rejection get the best of me, I went on to my first contract in the Inspirational market.
My lesson? God hard-wired me to write, it's been proven time and again by the simple fact that I've always returned to writing. As many writers say, I can't not write. Being able to write for others is a dream come true, not a whim that passed away unnoticed from my life. I can safely say I'd be writing whether I keep publishing or not. My writing dream is too much a part of my real life to let that happen now!

ABOUT THE BOOK - Look to the East (Tyndale House Publishers)

Even as Julitte Toussaint falls in love with one of the men in hiding, she knows if he's found it could bring danger to her entire village.

WIU Hosts Go Red For Women Event Feb. 1
January 25, 2013
MACOMB, IL – February is Heart Health Month, and Friday, Feb. 1 is National Wear Red Day for Women's Heart Health, sponsored by the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women organization.
The Western Illinois University Women's Center, in collaboration with Beu Health Center, Campus Recreation, the Employee Wellness Committee, and the WIU Department of Dietetics, Fashion Merchandising and Hospitality are sponsoring the fourth annual Go Red Luncheon Friday, Feb. 1 on campus. The event will feature speakers, a campus and community resource table fair, and door prizes.
In addition to the sponsoring organizations, resource tables will be provided by Eta Sigma Gamma, the McDonough County Health Department, McDonough District Hospital, Students T.A.L.K. Peer Educators and the University Counseling Center.
The luncheon will feature heart-healthy food provided by Sodexo catering services. This year's menu includes homemade turkey chili, tomato bisque with fresh basil, herb grilled chicken breast, fresh green beans and angel food cake with fresh fruit.
The luncheon will be held from noon-12:50 p.m., and the resource fair will be from 11:30 a.m.-1:15 p.m. The cost of the meal is $10 for non-students and $8 for students.
Reservations and payment are due by Tuesday, Jan. 29 to the Women's Center. Students may charge to their account with Rocky Dollars; checks may be made payable to the Women's Center.
"National Wear Red Day is a great opportunity to educate our community about the importance of heart health," said JoAnn Hairston-Jones, health education coordinator at Beu Health Center. "Heart disease is the number one killer of American women. Heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases kill more U.S. women than the next five causes of death combined, so events such as this can help educate women and others about the risk factors - diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, being overweight and smoking - and help each of us take an active role in preventing heart disease."
The committee especially encourages WIU students to attend the event.
"Hypertension is becoming more common among younger adults," Hairston-Jones said. "Its prevalence increases with lifestyle factors, genetics, and can adversely affect heart health."
This year's featured speaker will be Connie Kreps, office support specialist in the WIU Department of Psychology.
"We are pleased to have Ms. Kreps share her personal struggle with heart disease and the positive steps she has taken to care for her heart and health," said Amelia Hartnett, office manager at the Women's Center.
For more information, contact JoAnn Hairston-Jones at (309) 298-3225 or email@example.com, Janine Cavicchia at (309) 298-2242 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Judy Yeast at (309) 298-1670 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ted Fabiano shares this letter to Congress with the Coöp on behalf of #blog4nwp.
I do not remember the grade Julie Howerter earned on her Brave New World test. I do not remember how she fared on the ACT or SAT, or her school attendance record.
What I do remember about Julie Howerter, a student in my senior English class at Blue Valley Northwest several years ago, is a piece of writing she created one month before graduation. The assignment, prompted by a colleague who had attended the Summer Institute of the Greater Kansas City Writing Project, was to write a graduation speech that represented the student's true feelings about high school and the future.
Julie's speech was about regret. She wrote that the end of high school made her realize she never took any chances after moving to Kansas from Colorado her sophomore year: never approached a group of unfamiliar students at a lunch table, never tried out for a sport or joined a club. Julie imagined that someday she would do all these things, but the end of her senior year had arrived unexpectedly.
Her speech did not employ traditional graduation metaphors she would have learned from listening to the speeches shown on television or published in books. She did not write about rivers or roses or roads less traveled or reaching for the sky. She wrote something that, as a speech, was without a model, without precedent. She expressed something that was truly her.
How much of a school day allows for the development of the individual? In an increasingly standardized curriculum driven by standardized tests, students are in danger of becoming standardized themselves.
It is unrealistic to expect that this trend can be reversed completely. However, writing can remain a part of a school day that can preserve an element of humanity in the daily march toward efficiency. Please consider the value of programs like the National Writing Project that encourage and educate teachers in the instruction of writing.

"Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over." That's the warning being sent by Captain Robert Elliot, Commander of District 20 of the Illinois State Police. Troopers will be stepping up efforts to spot and arrest impaired drivers during the holiday weekend.
State Troopers will be joining with local police agencies to urge the public to celebrate St. Patrick's Day safely. Roadside Safety Checks, Alcohol Countermeasures Enforcement (A.C.E.) patrols, Seat Belt Enforcement Zones, speed details and other directed patrols will all be used to aggressively enforce "FATAL 4" violations of DUI/Alcohol violations, speeding, seat belt/child restraint and distracted driving.
More than 40% of Illinois traffic fatalities involve alcohol according to state police so remember a designated driver to "drive sober or get pulled over" this weekend and always.

After numerous rounds of 'We don't even know if Osama is still alive',
Barrack Hussein Obama told everyone he will capture Osama Bin Laden when elected.
Osama himself decided to send Barrack Hussein Obama a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.
Obama opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded message:
Obama was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Howard Dean.
Dean and the DNC and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden could not solve so it was sent to the FBI and the CIA.
Eventually they asked John McCain and his Staff to look at it.
And within a few minutes McCain's Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply:
'Tell Obama he's holding the message upside down'.
Stimulus bills include STD prevention
House and Senate bills allot millions
Stephen Dinan (Contact)
Thursday, January 29, 2009
The two sides of Capitol Hill appear to be engaging in a bidding war to see who can put more money toward the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases in its version of the economic stimulus bill.
The House included $335 million in its package. But the Senate, not to be outdone, provided $400 million in STD spending in its bill.
When the Drudge Report noted the House funds Wednesday morning, it set off a round of criticism from Republicans who said the money made no sense in a $819 billion bill designed to get the economy back on track.
Corrected: "Senate big spenders will never be overbid in wasting tax dollars. But how in the world does STD research create jobs? Wait. ... Don't answer that. I don't want to know," said Wesley Denton, an aide to Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican.
But the Senate bill, on page 138 of the 431-page measure, directs $400 million to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "for the screening and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV."
The Senate is expected to begin floor debate on its stimulus bill next week.
Sen. Tom Harkin, Iowa Democrat and chairman of the Senate Appropriations health subcommittee, listed the allocation as one of the noteworthy achievements of the Senate spending bill, along with $75 million for smoking cessation and $870 million to prepare for a pandemic influenza outbreak.
"This initiative includes grants to communities for health promotion, immunization programs, health screenings and counseling, smoking-cessation programs, scholarships and loan repayment for health professionals, research, and evidence-based disease-prevention strategies," Mr. Harkin said in touting his work.
On the House side, the National Republican Congressional Committee fired off e-mails Wednesday challenging freshman Democrats to take a stand on whether they thought $335 million for STD prevention was a good way to spend economic-recovery money.
The STD money was included in the bill that passed the House by a 244-188 vote Wednesday evening, but House Democrats were forced to remove a separate $200 million that had been designated to boost contraceptive coverage under Medicaid, the government-run health care plan for the poor.
That provision was removed after President Obama made a personal appeal to take it out of the bill.
Republicans and some Democrats have complained that the recovery bill is loaded with items that would provide little short-term help in boosting the economy. Republicans say the bill instead has become a vehicle for congressional Democrats to get approval for projects they've been unable to secure in recent years with congressional Republicans and President Bush able to foil their efforts.
