What a difference a year makes, especially in farming. "This time last year, all crop prices were so bad — except for peanuts — that we were talking to farmers about the economic premiums they would need to see before they considered any type of crop rotation," says Marshall Lamb, director of the National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga.
"Now, however, we're seeing bullish markets for the grain crops, and many farmers will be loosening their rotations somewhat this year," said Lamb, speaking at a recent regional peanut production meeting held in east Alabama.
It's definitely a new ballgame in farming this year, he says. "And it's kind of exciting, because we finally have other crops competing for our land from an economic standpoint. As farmers, this is exactly the position in which we want to be," says Lamb, who also farms with his brother in southwest Georgia.
In Georgia, he says, three major crops take up a majority of the irrigated land. These include cotton at about 500,000 irrigated acres, peanuts at from 275,000 to 300,000 irrigated acres, and corn, which has dropped significantly in acreage in recent years.
"Corn once took up a lot more irrigated acres, but it's now taking less, and it's all because of prices," he says.
Turning to U.S. peanut production, Lamb says acreage was relatively flat from 1996 to 2001, under the old government quota program. "Then we passed a new farm bill, and we saw a slight reduction in acreage from 2001 to 2002. Then we started increasing acres in 2003, 2004 and 2005. This is part of the problem we now face in the market, especially the production from 2004 and 2005," he says.
Farmers should bear in mind, he adds, that grower groups are trying to work out the current situation with the repayment rate. "Some farmers have asked why growers are trying to lower the repayment rate. It's because it allows producers to get a marketing gain, and in situations of over-supply, it's very important.
"Right now, we have an excess supply of about one half million farmer stock tons. And it's because we could not move the excess in 2004 and 2005, and that's hanging over our heads. If the repayment rate was set right, and we would have been able to clear these peanuts in the European Market, think about the position farmers would be in now in the face of these rising grain markets," says Lamb.
In 2005, a drastic market correction occurred, he says. "We had an over-supply and planted about 1.7 million acres of peanuts in the United States. Then, in 2006, we planted about 1.18 million acres. The last time the U.S. had a peanut acreage this small was in 1915. Granted, we now have more production from our acreage, but we did see a tremendous decline," he says.
It's still uncertain, says Lamb, how many acres of peanuts will be planted in 2007. Unless things change between now and planting time, there will be a further decrease, he adds.
An excess supply of peanuts continues to hang over the heads of growers, he says, but they will be gone by this time next year. "If not for that excess supply, we'd have much better balance in the system."
Looking at the different crop options for 2007, Lamb says the last time corn prices improved significantly was in 1996, when they reached the $3.55-per bushel range, with some selling in the $4-range.
"Georgia has a history of growing in excess of one half million acres of corn. But as the price dragged, acres leveled off to the 200,000 to 300,000-acre range. Last year, we planted about 225,000 acres for about $2.35 per bushel. The price now is at $3.75."
Also in 1996, when soybean prices moved to more than $6.50 per bushel, Georgia growers planted about 400,000 acres of beans, says Lamb. "We have proven we can plant soybeans. Acreage went back up in 2003 because of problems in the Midwest, but it came back down again with the price.
"Beans are now at about $7.13 per bushel, but they won't take any irrigated acres in our area — pathologists have told us not to do it. But they definitely will take away dryland acres. If we can grow them for just over $100 per acre and sell them at $7, some growers will see the opportunity to make money, especially if they double-crop beans with $4 wheat."
Cotton acreage has remained relatively flat in Georgia in recent years, says Lamb, ranging from about 1.3 million to 1.45 million acres. This past year, growers planted 1.37 million acres of cotton in Georgia.
"Cotton is so dependent on factors such as monetary policy and international plantings — things over which we don't have much control. Cotton acreage in Georgia might go down this year, but it won't be a significant amount.
"Last year, we didn't have a good peanut year — either dryland or irrigated, but we had one of our better irrigated cotton crops. Some of the cotton genetics are really helping us out."
Some of Georgia's corn acreage in 2007 will come from peanuts and some will come from cotton, says Lamb, but there's a limit on how much corn can be grown in the state.
"We don't have the infrastructure to handle the corn we planted back in the 1990s because we shifted a lot of that back towards cotton. We have worn-out grain bins, and we have a lot of farmers with cotton pickers but no grain combines. We have a lot of infrastructure development to do. Another limiting factor this year will be the availability of seed. All farmers want to grow corn, but I don't know how much we'll be able to grow this year because of these two issues."
The limits placed on corn acreage expansion are probably a good thing, says Lamb, because growers need to strike a balance with what they already have.
Bioenergy continues to drive the corn market, and it continues to have an impact on grain prices, he says. There currently are 111 operating ethanol plants in the United States with another 75 under construction. In Georgia, ground recently was broken for a plant in Camilla, one is coming on line in Tifton, and investors are being solicited for a third one in Sandersville.
In 1980, the United States produced 175 million gallons of ethanol. That grew to 900 million gallons in 1999, 1.6 billion gallons in 2000 and 4 billion gallons this past year. "And that didn't include the 75 plants that currently are under construction," says Lamb. "How will we feed those plants?"
Peanut growers are not seeing any contracts for the 2007 crop because of the carryover in 2004 and 2005, says Lamb. "If acreage remains the same and demand stays the same, or if acreage decreases or shifts to non-irrigated, the supply of peanuts by this time next year is going to be very tight — tighter than we want it to be. Instead of having excess carry-in, we will have a deficit carry-in.
"If you look at supply and demand numbers, we do need a slight increase in U.S. peanut production this year compared to last year. We don't need to go back to 2005 levels, but we do need a slight increase. But I don't know if we'll see it because farmers must decide which crops they need to plant to maximize their profits."

The Pratt High girls golf team enjoyed another good year on the links in 2013. Each of the girls on the squad met with success, and/or showed improvement throughout the campaign.
The Pratt High girls golf team enjoyed another good year on the links in 2013. Each of the girls on the squad met with success, and/or showed improvement throughout the campaign. The team finished 4th in meets three times (Nickerson, Pratt, Hoisington) early on, and then captured 2nd at Pretty Prairie and CKL later in the season, attesting to the squad's improvement. Morgan Schmidt was again the brightest spot for the lady linksters, placing in the top ten in every regular season meet, and topping it off with a 40th place at the State meet. Schmidt was again the lone Pratt representative at State, and ironically, she placed in the same position as she had the previous year. Highlights of the year for Schmidt included shooting under 45 in each of her 9-hole meets (Nickerson, Pratt and Pretty Prairie), and finishing 2nd, 2nd and 3rd in those. She also finished 7th at the league and regional meets, earning medals in both of those. Lauren Beardsley was often the Frogs second-best finisher. She had 4 top-ten finishes, including CKL where she took 8th, right behind Schmidt. She shot a 48 on her home course, which might have been her best round of the season. Kayla Baer was often a factor for the Lady Greenbacks. She had four top-twenty finishes, with maybe her best meet coming at league where she posted a 110 to finish 12th. Shelby Richard was perhaps the most consistent Lady Frog, usually carding scores in the 67, 68 range in most tournaments. Freshman Lexie Lanterman showed the most individual improvement over the season. She posted a 76 in the first meet of the season, but she shot 63-60-123 in the regional— making her Pratt's second best golfer at that meet. Morgan Schmidt graduates this spring, but the rest of the squad will be back next year for PHS head coach Kerry Thieme.

Stocks stumbled in the final minutes of trading to end near session lows Tuesday, with the Dow and S&P posting their fourth-straight session in the red, as investors remained cautious amid uncertainties surrounding central bank's stimulus program and budget discussions in Washington.

"We enter the day after the S&P 500 finished giving back all of last week's Fed induced euphoria [on Monday]," wrote Peter Bookvar, managing director at The Lindsey Group. "It's very unusual action considering how so much of the year's gains have been driven by the help of QE. We've either reached a point where the market can't keep using the same excuse to rally with the same effectiveness or we assume that the taper is coming soon anyway."

Hillsdale Academy students will bring a musical production to the Sauk Theater stage this weekend, April 5-7, in Jonesville.
�How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying� will show at 7 p.m. April 5, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. April 6 and at 2 p.m. April 7. Tickets are $7 and can be reserved by calling 517-439-5120.
Director Gail Mowry said there are 59 students involved in the musical, which is a major production that just finished its third revival on Broadway.
A musical parody of 1960�s corporate America, the show traces the journey of ambitious mailroom clerk J. Pierrepont Finch, who rockets to the top of Worldwide Wickets through a combination of brown-nosing, dumb luck and advice from the guidebook of the title.
The production includes the songs �I Believe in You,� �Brotherhood of Man,� �Coffee Break,� �A Secretary Is Not a Toy� and �The Company Way.�
Finch (male lead) is played by junior Alex Wood, and Rosemary (female lead) is played by freshman Katie Kittle. Biggley (the boss) is played by senior Dean Robinson, and Bud (the villain) is played by junior Liam Wolfram.
Playing the villain has been fun for Liam, who said the part fits him well.
�It�s a very energetic part that works well with me,� Liam said. �I get to make fun of Alex, who plays Finch, and that happens in real life, too.�
Alex said his character starts out as a window washer who finds his way to the top.
�I�ve been in a lot of plays at Tibbits since I live in Coldwater,� Alex said. �With this play, I have a lot of stage presence and there�s lots of singing and dancing, which is a challenge. But, they�ve all been fun to learn.�
The students have been rehearsing since October.
�We have an odd schedule in that we can�t rehearse during the week, so we rehearse two weekends a month,� Mowry said.
Junior Mallory Erwin sings in the chorus and has held lead parts in various other productions. For her, rehearsals worked out well since lead specific parts met before others were required to come to rehearsals.Since many in the production attended the school�s recent trip to Europe, she said they are trying to recuperate from jet lag while remembering parts.
�We just got back and things are still a little foggy, but we will be ready by the weekend - we�ll be focused and energetic,� Mallory said. �It�s a funny production with catchy tunes, clever lines and you have to pay attention, because there�s lots of word play.�
The set, not huge but adequate, was designed by Fred Rush.
Jennifer Collins is the costume mistress with help from Lois Brady and Dawn Roback.
�We�ve made and bought a bunch of costumes and borrowed from the Tibbits and Sauk (theaters),� Mowry said.
This is the Academy�s seventh production.
�We�ve always held ourselves to a high standard in musical theater and this show promises to uphold our reputation,� Mowry said.�

Shenton backs young Tigers to shine
Michael Shenton insists Castleford will not be like "rabbits in the headlights" when the first whistle blows in Sunday's Tetley's Challenge Cup semi-final against Widnes.
The Tigers are enjoying an excellent season few would have predicted at the start of 2014 and have left their passionate supporters dreaming of a Wembley final.
Daryl Powell's men head into the last-four showdown at a sold-out Leigh Sports Village as favourites to reach the August 23 showpiece despite their lack of big-match experience.
Michael Shenton is one of the few Castleford players with big-match experience
Shenton, who played and scored for St Helens in the 2011 Super League Grand Final, does not expect his less-experienced team-mates to be overawed by the occasion.
The 28-year-old centre said: "That newness to it is special for the guys. We're not going to be rabbits in the headlights. We've got to play the way we play.
"The pressure is there in the back of your mind but once we get into it we've got some guys who are really cool under pressure.
"In the likes of Marc Sneyd, Liam Finn and Daryl Clark we have real cool characters leading us around the park and it's hard to rile those kind of guys.
"We've just got to make sure that as a team we're nice and calm and get into this game. We've got to play as well because we've got to break Widnes down and handle the threats they're going to throw at us.
"They're playing some really good rugby and are coming into a bit of form. It's going to be a pretty special game."
Castleford's hopes of reaching a first Challenge Cup final since 1992 were hit on Tuesday as their appeal against forward Weller Hauraki's two-match suspension was dismissed by the RFL, and winger Justin Carney was handed an identical ban for making a dangerous throw. They are also without injured back-rower Grant Millington.
The Tigers have been backed by their captain to overcome the loss of those three key players.
"They are all leaders in their own right and big-game players, but I think we've shown this year that we've got players who can fill in," Shenton said.
"It's not normally an individual player who does something special for us. Creatively as a team we do things special.
"We didn't have Justin for Wigan (in the quarter-final) so we know what it's like going into a big game without him.
"We know those filling in will be fired up and wanting the game of their lives."
On the possibility of leading his boyhood club out at Wembley, he added: "It's hard for me to get carried away about it, but obviously for the club it would be so special.
"It's hard to put into words what it would mean to me, but we've got to get there first."
Castleford are nine points ahead of eighth-placed Widnes in fourth spot in the Super League table having done the double over the Cheshire club.
Denis Betts, who has taken the Vikings from the wooden spoon to the brink of the play-offs in two seasons, insisted that form counts for little in such a big match.
He said: "There are no favourites going into this game. You look at their position in the table and the bookies might say differently, but we are two pretty evenly-matched sides.
"It's going to be an exciting game and there might be a little bit of anxiety involved among the teams and some errors because of that.
"Whoever handles the pressure the best, comes into the game with the correct attitude, should come out on top."
Betts has handed recalls to winger Paddy Flynn and second row Alex Gerrard, in for Phil Joseph and Patrick Ah Van, as he bids to lead Widnes to their first cup final in 21 years.

Hood River Valley boys golf coach Bill DeBorde didn't expect his team to win the district title when they traveled to Bend Golf and Country Club Monday and Tuesday.
But, at the same time, DeBorde did expect that his guys would compete for the "second division" title along with Pendleton and Crook County.
In the end, HRV had to settle for fifth place — second behind Pendleton in the second division. But if you ask DeBorde or the members of his team for their assessment of the 2003 district tournament, they are likely to say they were only "pretty good."
"We played pretty well, but we could have done better," said DeBorde, whose team shot a two-day score of 680 (346-334) to finish eight strokes behind Pendleton (344-328-672).
"We had three guys shoot 84 on the first day, which didn't help. If we had shot the way we have been lately, we would have probably finished fourth," he said.
Bend High won the tournament with a stellar 602, and was followed by Summit at 620 and Redmond at 630. Pendleton and HRV were next, while Crook County (690), Mountain View (693) and Hermiston (805) rounded out the field.
Sophomore Herbie Annala shot the low score for the Eagles, posting a 77 on day two to salvage a two-day score of 161. Senior Jake Morgan was second with a 163 (84-79), and junior Jimmy Woodruff was third with a 173 (84-89).
Junior Chris Perry (94-89-183) and sophomore Alex Bryan (100-102-202) completed HRV's district showing, and in the end, DeBorde was very pleased with what he saw.
"Herbie was a real trooper," DeBorde said. "He was feeling ill on day one, and I thought he may have to withdraw. But he just kept plugging away and wound up with the low score for the team.
"I know that Jimmy and Jake would have liked to shoot a little better. Neither player wanted to shoot an 84 on day one, but I was proud of them for sticking with it," he said.
DeBorde also spoke about Perry's consistency and Bryan's steady improvement throughout the season. He hopes to coach each of the four underclassmen next year, but doesn't yet know what will happen.
"I would hope that we would have a team next year, but our status is up in the air," he said. "The guys would like to know as well so they have something to shoot for next year. But we'll see."
Morgan is the lone graduating senior from the 2003 squad, and he finished his high-school career on a positive note, shooting a solid round of 79 on day two at districts.

Get Out of The Pond
Billabong's much anticipated movie Out of the Pond premiered in Orlando on Saturday night. It just happened to cooincide with the one week a year that the Florida weather is perfect, so it couldn't have been held in a better location than the outdoor Lake Eola Ampitheatre. The crowd gathered to find free chips and salsa from Chipotle and beats from none other than DJ Drop Top.
When it finally got dark the lights went down and the action started. Brian Grubb has the opener, which included an acid drop that will definitely leave you scratching your head as to how exactly he landed it. From there though, the wakeskating was non-existent (literally.) Amazing angles and filming persisted (thanks to Matt Staker), but if you aren't interested in strapping in, well, it was easy to lose interest. Over all it was a well-made video, but as far as wakeskating goes, buy Fun Boots! instead.
After the video, the party moved to the Sky Bar for more DJ Drop top, free Red Bull cocktails, and what Tony Smith called the "Wakeiest Party, ever." Good times were had by all, and Out of the Pond is definitely worth checking out at least once.

Proposed rate changes for 2015 individual health plans are all over the map, but most companies are keeping up with tradition by requesting increases in premiums.
If approved, rate increases for 2015 individual health plans proposed by 12 insurance companies may affect most policyholders, whether they bought their plans through Washington Healthplanfinder's online marketplace or in the outside market.
Washington is one of the first states to see proposed rate changes for 2015 individual health-insurance plans.
The proposed rate changes range from a decrease of 6.8 percent — from Molina Healthcare of Washington — to an increase of 26 percent from Time Insurance, a national company with relatively few Washington policyholders.
Most rate-change requests, particularly from larger insurers, were in the middle ground, with most asking for increases from about 2 to about 11 percent.
To anyone who has had individual insurance, premium increases are not surprising: Records show that, on average, insurers have proposed rate increases for individual plans from about 9 percent to more than 18 percent every year from 2007 to 2013. After review by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner, the average rate increases imposed were lower — in most cases, only slightly lower. But in one year, rate-increase requests were cut by more than 3.5 percentage points.
With the exception of relatively few grandfathered plans, all individual plans were new in 2014 to comply with provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which set certain standards for coverage and barred insurers from excluding people with pre-existing conditions.
Some insurers offer plans only inside the Healthplanfinder exchange; some offer plans only in the outside market. Five are proposing plans both inside and outside the exchange. Any rate- change proposals for those insurers would affect both inside and outside plans.
The rates do not become final until they pass review.
Spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis said it likely would be a tough review this year because insurers have only a few months' worth of actual claims data, so they must use other data sources to justify rate increases.
There didn't appear to be differences between proposed rates for plans sold only inside the Healthplanfinder exchange market and those sold only outside.
BridgeSpan Health, whose exchange plans picked up a relatively small portion of the market this year, asked for a 1.7 percent increase; its affiliate, Regence BlueShield, which offers only outside-the-exchange plans, asked for 5.1 percent.
Coordinated Care Corp., with exchange-only plans, asked for 11.2 percent, as did Group Health Cooperative, which has plans both inside and outside the exchange. Group Health Options, with plans offered only outside the exchange, asked for 14.2 percent.
Premera Blue Cross, offered both inside and outside the exchange, and Community Health Plan of Washington, with only exchange plans, asked for 8.1 and 8.4 percent, respectively.
In the small group market, insurers on average proposed smaller rate increases, with at least four insurers asking to decrease rates. That may be because insurers expect to pick up younger members now insured by association plans that have been discontinued because they did not meet the requirements of the ACA, Marquis said.
Four new companies have submitted proposals for individual plans to be sold inside Washington's Healthplanfinder exchange. Because the plans are new, there are no rate changes proposed. Those companies are Columbia United Providers, Health Alliance Northwest Health Plan, UnitedHealthcare of Washington, and Moda Health Plan. Moda currently has individual plans in the outside market but plans to replace all existing plans.

mixtape is a collection of songs (many performed
over Drake's beats) that detail Tapwaterz' life
and issues he faces since being accidentally shot

Several area teams will be playing at home.
In SCIAC play, Pomona-Pitzer (4-2) will be at Redlands (5-1), 7 p.m,.
The Sagehens are much improved but probably don't have enough firepower to hang with the Bulldogs who have feasted off opponent mistakes. And Redlands is at home.
Whittier at La Verne, 1 p.m.
The poor Leopards are still looking for their first win but threw a scare into Occidental last week, falling 14-13. If they can hang with Oxy, they should be able to beat Whittier.
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (3-3) at Chapman (2-4), 7 p.m.The Stags will be playing under the lights for the first time. These teams are evenly matched. The Panthers likely win because they're at home but a win by the Stags wouldn't be surprising.
In the JuCo ranks . . .
San Bernardino Valley College (3-4) at Southwestern (3-4), 6 p.m. Lo and behold the Wolverines have an actual win streak – three games. They're still in the hunt for a conference title, but they are just starting the toughest part of the conference sked and the Jaguars are tough at home. Southwestern probably wins this one.
Chaffey (2-5) at Riverside (1-7), 6 p.m.
Both teams are struggling terribly. Both have played tough schedules with RCC's a little tougher. Give them the edge because of that and because they're at home.
San Diego Mesa (1-6) at Victor Valley (3-4), 1 p.m.
The Rams have had some inner team turmoil but they got back on track last week. This is one they should win at home.

Twitter Sued For Failing To Take Down Images Following DMCA Notices
from the not-automatically-guilty dept
However, as lawyer Evan Brown correctly explains in Brodkin's article, failing to take down works upon receipt of a DMCA notice does not automatically make one guilty of infringement. It just means they can't directly avail themselves of the safe harbors in the DMCA. They can still make plenty of other arguments for why they have not broken the law. And Brown suggests that there are many reasons why they're likely to prevail:
"If I were Twitter, I would not necessarily be all that concerned about Boffoli's claims, based on the facts as they appear in the complaint," Brown said. "It doesn't look like Twitter has materially contributed to the alleged infringement. Courts have held that just providing a website is not enough to lend material support in another's infringement. And I don't see how Twitter is obtaining any direct financial benefit from the alleged infringement. Moreover, I doubt Boffoli will be able to point to any statements on Twitter's part encouraging its users to infringe copyright. If he can't show any of these things, his secondary liability claims would appear to be dead in the water. But the lawsuit is just beginning—maybe he has some great facts that will come out later. I'm skeptical, though."Part of Boffoli's claim is that Twitter's terms of service implicate the company, but I think he's misreading that:
...he said that Twitter hosts a large volume of his work in violation of his copyright, and under Twitter's terms of service the company claims a "worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license" to reproduce and distribute that content as it pleases.That's not quite accurate. The terms of service just say that the user who is doing the upload is granting Twitter such a license to display the work. If that user does not have the right to grant such a license, than the focus should be on that user and their own infringement.
And it's here where Boffoli's arguments get kind of weak. He's suing Twitter because they're a big company... but at the same time he claims that he doesn't mind when people post a few images:
"I'm genuinely humbled and grateful that people are enthusiastic about my work and want to share it," Boffoli told Ars. "If somebody puts a couple of my pictures on a Tumblr page, thats totally fine."So why sue Twitter? Well he claims it's because "Twitter hosts a large volume of his work." But... right before that he says that it's fine for people to post a few images to Tumblr, meaning that Tumblr, too, almost certainly hosts a "large volume" of his work. And his complaints to Twitter focus on four specific users, who each posted images. But he's not suing the users. And... again, he seems to say that it's okay for the users to share a couple images via a platform like Twitter and Tumblr. But then... in the same breath he claims that those platforms are then liable? That seems to undermine his case.
Finally, Boffoli and his lawyer seem to both complain about his inability to make money on the images... while also being happy that the images went viral, admitting that they've helped raise his profile.
"He gets a ton of notoriety but he doesn't make a lot of money off it yet," [Boffoli's lawyer Keith] Scully said. "He does all his own copyright policing because he can't afford to hire a legion of lawyers and staff to take care of it for him."So... his complaint is that the viral nature of the images made him famous and has created buzz that has resulted in legitimate requests, and he doesn't mind when individuals post up his work, because that helps him. But for some reason he's then suing Twitter. As for having to do all of his own policing, perhaps the better answer is to look for more ways to leverage the viral nature of these images. He notes at another point that some of the images don't link back to him as the original photographer (while others do). Wouldn't it be a lot more productive to send friendly notes to those who shared his images by just asking them to also promote a link to his website and maybe a way to license or commission works? That would actually keep his works viral and encourage sharing, while also driving more people to potentially give him money.
"I'm just a working artist, trying to support my studio and myself," Boffoli said. Numerous websites do contact him to ask permission to distribute his work, "which I really appreciate," he noted. "It gives me a chance to provide the work in context, and even to provide images that aren't out there yet."
The more the details come out, the more this feels like a "Steve Dallas lawsuit," in which he's suing Twitter not because the company has actually infringed... but because they're a big company with money who might just pay him.

Sun Trails
Sun Trails was a science fiction fanzine by Arthur Louis Joquel II.
This was a mimeographed fanzine published in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Only two issues of Sun Trails appeared, both in 1941, the first in February and the second in October.
In the first issue the editor is embroiled in a controversy with Isaac Asimov, and by the second issue it has been resolved. This issue also includes articles on science fiction fans, an article on graphology, an analysis of the cost of science fiction if a fan buys all the U.S. pro sf magazines on the newstand, and a note mentioning his intention to create an orchestration for Tigrina's Hymn to Satan fanzine.
Contributions of art work came from Ray Bradbury (Futuria Fantasia).
Arthur Louis Joquel II also published FMZ Digest and was editor of Shangri L'Affaires for the years 1942 -1944. As well, he was a contributing editor to Theosophia magazine in the 1940s.

Catalan Wikitravel Expedition
The Catalan Wikitravel Expedition is an expedition to launch a Catalan-language version of Wikitravel, according to the language version policy.
Catalan is the native language of a mediterranean area with an excellent background on travel and tourism.
A Catalan-language version of Wikitravel would serve these travellers with information in their native language. In addition, Catalan speakers could add information on their native and adopted countries, regions, and cities to the ca: version of Wikitravel that could then be translated to other languages. All Wikitravellers would benefit from local-contributed information.
Per the language version policy, we need at least three people to commit to helping to launch this new version. These contributors are expected to help translate the language interface file (see below), translate important interface documents, and otherwise make Catalan-language Wikitravel ready for use by other editors.
The following people agree to make this level of contribution:
Note: if you want to help, please create a user account and then add your name to the list above.
A go-between for a new language version of Wikitravel acts as an "ambassador" for the new version to the rest of the Wikitravel community. They communicate information on developments in the new version to the rest of the community in monthly go-between reports, and they communicate developments in other languages to the new version's contributors.
Optimally, a go-between should have the following characteristics:
Go-betweens for previous language versions have been chosen by voting, or else just by general consensus. It's up to the Catalan-language Wikitravel contributors listed above to decide how to choose a go-between.
Language file[edit]
We no longer require a language file to start a new language version of Wikitravel. Most languages already have a good interface written for Wikipedia, and we can customize it using the database messages tool in MediaWiki.

Shown in Dark Bronze Finish and Maple Blades -
European design during the first decade of the twentieth century was a crucible of theory and practice, ranging from the florid beauty of the French Art Nouveau to the roots of the German Bauhaus. Belgian designer and theorist Henry van de Velde called for the unification of art, the re-evaluation of the role of craftsman and designer, the recognition that we are able "to impress beauty upon every aspect of our lives, that the artist should no longer simply paint pictures, but rather create whole rooms, or even whole dwellings, with wallpapers and furniture as well as paintings. The Seccessionst Movement in Austria produced applied arts during the early years that are remarkable for their geometric refinement and elegant simplicity.
The Modern Fan Company has established itself as a leader in the ceiling fan industry by continuing to introduce original design and innovation for contemporary fans, industrial ceiling fans and fan accessories. The ceiling fans of Modern Fan Company celebrate the modern idiom through geometric forms, contemporary finishes and mechanical simplification. Modern Fans – from a contemporary fan to industrial ceiling fan and fan accessories – keep you comfortable while helping to reduce energy consumption in several ways. The Modern Fan Company was founded by Rob Rezek in 1986 with introduction of the Stratos ceiling fan.

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt.—Eight Beacons scored and Zach Andrews (Coral Springs, Fla.) made 41 saves, as #13/16 UMass Boston (10-3-1, 4-3-1 ECAC East) routed St. Michael's College (4-10, 1-8 ECAC East) 10-3 Saturday afternoon at the Cairns Arena.
Senior Mike DeGrazia (Novi, Mich.) and Peter MacIntyre (Norfolk, Mass.) each scored twice and 13 UMass Boston players recorded points in the win. DeGrazia moved back into a tie for first in the nation with his 14 total goals, while MacIntyre led all players with his four points (two goals and two assists).
Freshman Frankie DeAugustine (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Kit Sitterley (Mooresville, N.C.) added a goal and two assists each, while defenseman Cam Harvey (Bow, N.H.) and Andrew Crawford (Medford, Mass.) picked up two assists apiece.
Rounding out the scoring, Tim Richter (Naugatuck, Conn.), Derek Colucci (North Scituate, R.I.) and Jeremy Finger (Orlando, Fla.) all recorded a goal and an assist and Mark Grinhaus (Scarsdale, N.Y.) picked up his second goal in as many days.
Andrews came up huge in net, making a career-high 41 stops on 44 shots, including 33 over the first two periods. He improved to 9-3-1 on the season, after allowing a career-high six goals Friday night at #1 Norwich University.
Michael Comitini and and Eric McGuirk combined to make 32 saves on 42 shots, with each goalie giving up five goals.
The Beacons opened the scoring just under four minutes in, when Sitterley scored his fifth collegiate goal, on passes from Crawford and MacIntyre. Less than three minutes later, MacIntyre made it 2-0 at 6:39 with an unassisted goal. Richter made it 3-0 Beacons at the 8:44 mark on passes from Colucci and Harvey. UMass Boston wrapped up the first period scoring when Grinhaus hammered it home on passes from Crawford and Tim Niedzielak (Chicago, Ill.) at 17:39.
St. Michael's College would briefly put the pressure on with back-to-back goals from Josh Geary in the first 37 seconds of the second period, but Andrews would stonewall the Purple Knights with 19 straight saves.
DeGrazia made it 5-2 at the 15:47 mark, when he shot it past Comitini for his 13th goal of the season. Linemates Travis Daniel (North Brunswick, N.J.) and Max Reavis (Omaha, Neb.) picked up assists on the play. Less than a minute later, DeAugustine put the game away, when he took passes from Sitterley and MacIntyre and rammed it home at at 16:31.
The Beacons would close out the game with another four-goal period in the third-on just 11 shots. Colucci and MacIntyre scored within 1:36 of each other to extend the lead to 8-2.
After a St. Michael's goal at 8:44 of the period, Finger scored a power-play goal at 14:18, on passes from DeAugustine and Harvey. The power-play opportunity proved to be the lone power-play of the game, as the referees only blew the whistle for one penalty all game long.
UMass Boston wrapped up the scoring at 15:07 when DeGrazia skated in unassisted and sent a laser shot past the goalie to put UMB ahead 10-3.
UMass Boston's 10 goals was their largest offensive output since a 13-2 win over North Adams State on January 18, 1997.
The Beacons will return to action Tuesday night when they host the Penmen of Southern New Hampshire University at 7:00 p.m.

How Dare You Want To Store And Stream Your DVDs
from the cheats!--thieves! dept
Because, apparently, they're afraid that someone who spends $27,000 on a DVD jukebox is then going to steal movies, the DVD Copy Control Association is suing the maker of the massively expensive jukebox for bypassing their copy protection. The company in question is quite surprised by the lawsuit, noting that they've worked with the DVD CCA throughout the process to make sure there were no problems. Either way, is the industry really afraid that someone who spent the equivalent of a nice car on a DVD player system is now going to cheap out on buying DVDs? Obviously not. What they're trying to do is set a precedent, so that when others (Microsoft? TiVo?) come out with much cheaper systems for storing and streaming movies, no one will actually be able to use them. Whatever happened to the world that existed when you bought a product, you were then free to use it however you wanted?

When last we heard from Lions safety Louis Delmas, he was asking reporters to leave him alone when they were asking him questions about the status of the knee injury that has made him a part-time player over the last two seasons.
At the time, coach Jim Schwartz offered no specific timeline for Delmas' return to the field and that held about the same during Delmas' interview with ESPN 96.1 on Wednesday. Delmas said that he plans to use training camp to work himself into being 100 percent for the regular season, but he isn't there yet and included a note of uncertainty about how his plans may play out.
"I'm feeling great. I'm not all the way back 100 percent yet, but I can go around the range of 88 to 90 percent right now," Delmas said, via MLive.com. "I still got a long road ahead of me. I plan on going through camp, trying to build my knee up as much as possible so I can go into the season 100 percent."
The Lions' decision to sign Chris Hope this week was the latest sign that the team isn't putting too many eggs in the Delmas basket after two years racked by injuries that have kept Delmas from participating in practice with his teammates all offseason. Delmas saw that he saw a team with potential to overcome adversity during OTAs, but the jury will remain out a while longer about whether the safety's knee will allow him to do the same.

Google reveals 'America's Most Misspelled Words'
Google reveals 'America's Most Misspelled Words'
Google reveals 'America's Most Misspelled Words'
People in Florida are checking their "receipt." Some in New Hampshire aren't feeling great about "diarrhea." Wisconsinites are wondering about "Wisconsin."
Just how the heck do you spell "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"? People in Connecticut and West Virginia want to know.
Google Trend has released its list of "America's Most Misspelled Words," tweeting a graphic Tuesday with the top searches for "how to spell" so far in 2017.
Some of the takeaways from the map:
- Most people are having trouble with medium-length words. Thirty-nine states' top searches are for words that are six to 10 letters long.
- The nation's smallest state one of two states struggling with a four-letter words. Rhode Island is looking up "liar," while Georgia wants to know about "gray" (or is grey?).
- "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," at 34 letters, is the longest word on the map, with both Connecticut and West Virginia residents searching for it.
- Texans and Missourians are tied for the second-longest word -- each checking their work on "maintenance."
- The most common query is "beautiful," leading the way for New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota and California.
With the National Spelling Bee underway in Washington D.C., maybe Americans can get some help without a search engine.

WARRIORS' acting chief executive Anthony Glossop insists the Sixways club retain the backing of their shareholders despite posting huge operating losses.
Recently-released accounts revealed Worcester made a massive loss of £3million during the 2012-13 financial year compared to a deficit of £1million in the 12 months prior to that.
Coupled with the gaping hole in the balance sheet, Warriors are facing the prospect of relegation to the Championship, which would only serve to compound the problem.
However, Glossop, who has taken the reins on a temporary basis following the sacking of Charles Cameron in February, insists the money men behind the club have given assurances they will continue to provide backing for Dean Ryan's proposed revolution.
One of the main reasons behind the poor financial performance at Sixways has been lower attendances than the club budgeted for, but Glossop recognises this is unlikely to change until the on-field fare is vastly improved.
With that in mind, the shareholders will continue to bankroll Ryan and they see the Warriors director of rugby as the man to deliver the long-awaited success everyone at Sixways craves.
Glossop said: "The shareholders are fortunately supportive of us and it would not be a major issue should the worst happen and we end up being relegated this season.
"The main impact on our losses for 2012-13 was that we were short on season tickets as against original budget and we were short on match-to-match tickets sales.
"Then, as the second-half of the season went on, our match-to-match got worse and worse.
"If you're playing in front of 2,000 less people than you've budgeted for, than that's £50,000 difference per game.
"I have said to the shareholders that, with the programme we are following, it won't be a one or two-year thing.
"We have stopped talking about Heineken Cup qualification now and are instead looking at a long-term programme and the shareholders have said they recognise that.
"They are not stupid people and recognise the financial implication of that, but anything is always dependent on us making the moves we have indicated.
"If we are ticking off the boxes, improving on the pitch, getting the academy functioning well and if the vision is on track, then I think we have support, which is at an extremely generous level when you see those figures."
Glossop also revealed the recruitment process for Cameron's full-time replacement is under way and the new chief executive should be in place this summer.
He explained: "We are out there recruiting a new chief executive at the moment and I would hope that, by the end of May, we would have identified someone. If not, it will be because we haven't found someone on the first trawl.
"Assuming the person works one to three months' notice, we would anticipate them to be in the post between July 1 and September 1."
Meanwhile, Warriors full-back Chris Pennell has been nominated for the Premiership player-of-the-month award for March.
The Sixways vice-captain had yet another outstanding month for Warriors with his consistent performances. The winner will be announced at noon today.

It's a familiar ritual among backpackers: ripping a chapter out of a thick Lonely Planet travel book as they move to a new destination, leaving the tattered pages at a hostel to lighten their load.
But as more travelers turn to friends, Facebook and other online communities to plan their trips, the Lonely Planet paper trail has begun to shrink. In its place is a new crop of high-tech startup sites that use online crowdsourcing to offer real-time travel information and personalized recommendations.
"There's no way I'm going to carry around a big thick book (about) China or Europe," said Shanti Christensen, a world traveler who calls San Francisco home. She wants to know what her friends are doing in those places, "because we all have similar traveling habits."
Startups from Silicon Valley to India are building online portals where travelers can find ideas for their next destination, tips on the best places to eat and sleep, build itineraries and share their adventures. Crowdsourcing — soliciting contributions from a large group of people — has turned the average traveler into a travel adviser.
"We look at what our friends say and we change our plans accordingly," said Henry Harteveldt, travel industry analyst at Hudson Crossing, a financial advisory firm in New York. "It boils down to two words: trust and credibility. If you know the person, if their perspective on how to travel is similar to yours, you'll give their insights more weight."
Until recently, there were few options to quickly find timely recommendations from trustworthy and like-minded travelers, say travel experts. Many tourism bureaus don't have the technology resources, and a Google (GOOG) search of "best restaurants in Bangkok" will dredge up about 16 million results. Recommendations in Lonely Planet and Rough Guides are often at least a year old by the time they land in the bookstores.
Travelers also have complained about the number of anonymous, outdated and fake reviews on leading travel site TripAdvisor. The company says it screens all reviews and removes any that are fake or offensive, and recently started a crackdown on fraudulent reviews after discovering thousands of bogus hotel reviews.
"Travelers want to get right to the point, get a great recommendation they can trust and then move on with their busy lives," said Trevor Morrow, a Los Angeles-based travel blogger and video host. "They want help making a decision and they want to feel confident about that decision."
Crowdsourced travel site Gogobot was born out of Travis Katz's nightmarish experience planning trips while living in London. Katz and his wife would sit down in front of the computer to plan a trip "and pretty soon the sun had gone down. Headache, bloodshot eyes, and really not any smarter about where we were going," he said.
Katz, now 41, founded Menlo Park-based Gogobot almost three years ago, and the site offers forums and tips from locals and experienced travelers. Each hotel and restaurant review includes the name, picture and profile of the reviewer; more than 90 percent of the site's 3 million users connect through their Facebook accounts.
Christensen, 36, started using Gogobot while in China, where she lived for six years. She said she couldn't find a Lonely Planet anywhere in the country and travel websites pushed her into "tourist traps."
"When you're living in China you can't just hop on Amazon and quickly order a guidebook," she said.
A record 1 billion people traveled internationally in 2012, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, and top destinations included Guatemala and the Ivory Coast, where backpack travel is more popular.
"The travel industry … is changing, and it's no longer built around busloads of tourists arriving and departing iconic monuments like clockwork," said Alissa Haupt, a freelance photographer who has blogged about her world travel experiences.
Some travelers have turned to Flightfox, a Web service with offices in Mountain View that crowdsources cheap flights by asking an online community to find the lowest-cost airfare. The Flightfox crowd found a ticket for Andrew Mackenzie-Ross of San Francisco to fly to the U.K., Indonesia, Australia and back to the U.S. for $1,300, which was $600 cheaper than anything he said he could find. Bowei Gai, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, said Flightfox found a way for him to fly to 29 countries for $8,000.
Haupt cautions that crowdsourcing in a digital community has its limitations, and she would be nervous "to rely on strangers online to give me personalized advice."
Others warn that the quality of the information on crowdsourced sites is only as good as the crowds.
"It's the icing on the cake, but not something to rely solely on," Morrow said.
There are still 15,000 travel agencies in the U.S. — although that number is declining — and still a need for expert advisers, particularly when planning a complex trip, said Douglas Quinby, vice president of research at PhoCusWright, a global travel industry research company. Quinby estimates that just one in 10 travelers use social networks when planning their trips.
One startup, Atlasa, of Melbourne, Australia, wants to let more travelers in on the best-kept secrets. The site asks travelers to share their routes — whether it was a day or monthlong trip — and discoveries along the way, such as a beach or biking trail not mentioned in the guidebooks, and routes not shown on Google Maps, said co-founder Kelsey Schwenk.
She said: "It gives people an idea of what the beaten path is, or to discover the off-the-beaten path."

What is microtia?
Microtia is a pathologic condition of the external ear, wherein an affected individual is born with a grossly misshapen or absent external ear. It is frequently associated with aural atresia, or the absence of normal ear canal, tympanic membrane, functional ossicles and conductive hearing component.
Microtia is relatively uncommon, occurring in 7- 10,000 live births. It is more common on the right side than on the left, but can be bilateral. Prenatal maternal lifestyle is not associated with microtia.
Microtia is usually broken down into four categories:
- Grade I - is a slightly small ear with identifiable structures and a small but present external ear canal.
- Grade II - is a partial or hemi-ear with a closed off or stenotic external ear canal producing a conductive hearing loss.
- Grade III - is absence of the external ear with a small peanut vestige structure and an absence of the external ear canal and ear drum.
- Grade IV - is absence of the total ear or anotia.
In addition to the severe psychologic effect of a grossly deformed ear, the child or adult with microtia has a moderately severe hearing loss. The patient routinely has an absence of the external ear (or pinna), an absent external canal and ear drum, as well as a small middle ear cavity with fusion of the small middle ear bones (ossicles) and an open (patent) eustachian tube, despite a normal inner ear. Therefore, these children have a maximum conductive hearing loss. Because it is critical for children to have normal hearing in order to have normal speech and bilateral hearing for the ability to detect directionality, the best treatment of microtia is to provide reconstitution of the external ear and hearing.
The surgical intervention for correction of microtia/atresia at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary is performed utilizing a unique and rarely found team approach. Patients who present with microtia/atresia and/or associated hemi-facial deformities are evaluated by the microtia/atresia team of the Otology Center:
- Joseph Rousso, MD - Chief, Division of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
- Maura Cosetti, MD - Director, Cochlear Implant Program at the Ear Institute
Each patient undergoes a thorough team approach evaluation to detect the level of external ear, external ear canal, middle ear and facial and bite deformities through the Otology Center at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. The workup for these patients consists of a hearing test, CT scan of the temporal bone to detect the exact course of facial nerve and delineation of the amount of middle ear and external canal deformity, and x-rays of the face and mandible to detect hemi-facial deformities and bite irregularities. Following this evaluation, treatment options are reviewed and recommended to the parents of the child with the ear deformity. Treatment of the microtia may or may not include surgery. Parents of children who do not want surgery can opt for an external prosthesis, which can be fixed to the side of the patient's face with titanium pins or glue. Patients who have the most common auricular deformity, Grade III, require a four to five stage reconstruction procedure performed over a one to two year period to achieve optimal surgical correction.
The primary procedure consists of harvesting cartilage from the sixth, seventh and eighth ribs on the side opposite the deformity. Great care must be taken to ensure adequate cartilage is harvested and preserved without injuring the underlying lung. The chest wound is then closed and a drain inserted. These cartilage pieces are then carefully carved and sutures are placed to form these slightly curved pieces into the complex, multiplanar shape and framework of a normal ear structure. The normal, contralateral ear is copied as closely as possible. A separate incision is made into the scalp overlying the normal position of the ear and a thin layer of scalp skin is carefully elevated in the exact spot the cartilage framework is to be placed; this location is generally determined by the position of the normal ear on the opposite side. At this time, the abnormal, malformed remnant ear cartilage and some skin are removed. The ear framework is then inset into a pocket behind the peanut skin vestige and the overlying skin is shrink- wrapped around the framework utilizing suction drains. This procedure requires the patient to remain in the hospital three to four days. The patient is discharged home with the drains in place; these are removed one week postoperatively.
Three months following the primary procedure (which allows for healing and stabilization of the framework), the second stage is performed. This consists of removing the upper portion of the peanut vestige and then flipping the lower portion posteriorly and hooking this up to the reconstructed ear framework. This uses the abnormal skin to create an earlobe. This is an outpatient procedure where the patient goes home on the same day. This now provides the patient with a realistic looking ear but one which is still flattened down and tethered to the side of the head.
During the intermission between the second and third stages, the patient is encouraged to undergo laser hair removal, as the hair almost always grows down onto the skin that covers the upper part of the ear framework.
The third stage consists of lateralizing, or moving away from the side of the head, the cartilage framework. This is accomplished by elevating the framework away from the deep muscle and soft tissues (preserving a thin layer on the cartilage itself), and then placement of a skin graft and additional cartilage behind the framework to allow for permanent lateralization. This procedure generally requires a 2-3 day hospitalization. At this point, the patient has a relatively natural looking ear.
The fourth stage operation consists of a drill out procedure where the external ear canal is actually created by the neuro-otologist. This canal is carried down until the location of the bony tympanic plate is detected. The bony plate is removed and a new tympanic membrane or ear drum is made from muscle lining and this is connected to the middle ear ossicles. The newly formed canal is lined with a skin graft and attached to the external framework. This procedure requires the patient to be in the hospital for two to three days and is performed two to three months following the third stage. At this point the patient now has almost normal hearing and a natural ear framework on the side of the head.
Alternatively, a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) can be placed to allow for hearing amplification without major surgery.
The fifth stage is a customizing procedure including construction of a preauricular tragus and any other finesse procedures needed to be done in order to make the reconstructed ear look as natural as possible. If a patient has an underlying maxillofacial or hemi-facial deformity, these procedures are performed by the oromaxillofacial surgeon during the first, second and third stages of the auricular reconstruction.

At the 2004 Middlebury Swimming and Diving Invitational, junior J.P. Carlucci set a pool record in the 50-yard breaststroke. Carlucci completed the non-traditional event in 27.86 seconds.
Freshman Craig Edwards tagged his name all over the record books in leading MIT to a second-place finish at the 2004 NEWMAC Men's Swimming and Diving Championships. Edwards decimated the school records in the 100 (50.66) and 200 (1:50.39) back, while doubling back as Tech's lead-off leg in the record-breaking 200 free relay (1:25.50) and 200 medley relay (1:33.76). Junior J.P. Carlucci, senior Jonathan Varsanik and senior Erdem Kiciman joined Edwards in the medley relay, while Edwards, Kiciman and Varsanik enlisted the help of sophomore Grady Snyder to equal the Institute mark in the 200 free relay. Despite the runner-up finish, MIT took gold in a conference-high eight events. After the meet, Craig Edwards was named the NEWMAC Male Swimmer of the Year.
Seniors Jonathan Varsanik, Erdem Kiciman, Maike Geng, and Matt Styczynski, junior J.P. Carlucci, sophomore Grady Snyder, and freshman Craig Edwards earned NEWMAC All-Conference First- Team honors. Edwards and Snyder joined sophomore Mark Liao on the Second Team.
Earning Conference All-Academic honors were graduate-student Jonathan Goler, seniors Maike Geng, Matt Styczynski, and Nate Vantzelfde, junior Nemanja Spasosejevc, and sophomores Michael Dimitriou, Neil Kelly, Josiah Rosmarin, and Enrique Urena.
Serving as MIT's lone representative at the NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships, Craig Edwards made the most of his trip to St. Peters, Mo. The record-breaking rookie twice earned All- America accolades after a sensational performance by a first-year college competitor. Edwards earned his first citation after finishing fourth in the 100 back with the time of 50.57, a clip that bested his own school record for the third time this season. Edwards followed with another fourth place finish in the 200 back. Finishing with the time of 1:50.76, he narrowly missed topping his Institute record set at the 2004 NEWMAC Championships (1:50.39).
