USDA asks farmers not to farm some land
USDA asks farmers not to farm some land
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is asking farmers to set aside some of their land to help the environment.
Sign up for the Conservation Reserve Program begins May 20.
The program pays farmers to keep environmentally sensitive land out of production, typically for 10 to 15 years.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says the CRP was vital in later summer's drought. He says it protected sensitive land from erosion, while emergency haying and grazing on CRP lands provided critical livestock feed and forage.
Around 27 million acres are enrolled in the CRP, contracts on about 3.3 million acres expire Sept. 30.

Experience the magic of the Muppets during a hilarious, eye-popping film and live-action extravaganza.
Join Kermit, Miss Piggy and the entire Muppets gang for a spectacular presentation in 3D.
Step right up into an expansive soundstage area filled with kooky movie-making props—and enter the wild and crazy world of the Muppets! On monitors overhead, watch a madcap 12-minute pre-show video starring Gonzo, Rizzo the Rat, Scooter and many more of your Muppet friends as they frantically prepare for the big show.
After receiving 3D glasses, saunter into a lushly appointed 584-seat theater—designed to look like the Muppet Theater from the classic television series, The Muppet Show—and take a seat before the lights dim.
Meet the Muppets – In 3D!
The curtain rises to reveal Kermit, Miss Piggy and the entire Muppets troupe onscreen in startling 3D, as they invite you on a zany tour of Muppet Labs for a demonstration of their newest, high-tech film process, Muppet*Vision 3D. Things quickly get out of hand, though, during a presentation with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, and the result is a seemingly endless string of disastrous—yet hysterical—comic events.
With hilarious musical numbers, surprising in-theater effects plus the world's first computer-generated Muppet, Waldo C. Graphic, this three-dimensional spectacular puts you in the center of all the zany Muppets antics. It's a show every member of your family is sure to love!
A Menagerie of Muppets
Muppets you're sure to encounter during the show include:
In-House Effects
In addition to the 3D film, the show includes Audio-Animatronics characters and 4D special effects that literally bring the house down around you. And don't be surprised if child-friendly pranks, like light splashes of water, further immerse you in the Muppets' wacky world.
Muppet*Vision 3D features many of the same characters from the popular television program, The Muppet Show. Created by Jim Henson, the series aired from 1976 to 1981 and was an instant hit with audiences of all ages. The show gave rise to multiple motion pictures and television series, and even won an Emmy® Award.
The current attraction, which puts you in the center of the Muppet madness, was a collaboration between Jim Henson Productions and Walt Disney Imagineering.

Others who died during the year include Arkansas native Helen Gurley Brown, who gained fame as an author and editor of Cosmopolitan magazine; former Associated Press bureau chief and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette political editor Bill Simmons; and musician Levon Helm.
A longtime Arkansas Supreme Court justice who, as a trial attorney, fought election fraud during the 1960s, was among the notable Arkansans who died during 2012.
Retired Justice Tom Glaze died March 30 at his home in North Little Rock at age 74.
Others who died during the year include Arkansas native Helen Gurley Brown, who gained fame as an author and editor of Cosmopolitan magazine; former Associated Press bureau chief and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette political editor Bill Simmons; and musician Levon Helm.
Glaze served as a young attorney for the Election Research Council, a project funded in 1960 by future Arkansas Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, to promote election reform in the state.
"The labor of cleaning up elections became more than an employment convenience," Glaze wrote in his memoir, "Waiting for the Cemetery Vote," published last year by the University of Arkansas Press. "It became a mission and, yes, maybe an obsession, which would propel every turn I made in a legal career that spanned forty-five years."
Glaze served 21 years on the Arkansas Supreme Court before his retirement in 2008. Before that he served on the Arkansas Court of Appeals and as a Pulaski County chancery judge.
Simmons, 71, who covered Arkansas politics for nearly a half-century, including the Whitewater and Paula Jones scandals that dogged Bill Clinton's presidency, died Oct. 29.
Simmons had a 34-year career with the AP and then worked nearly 16 years with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette as its political editor.
He was named Arkansas bureau chief in 1990 and two years later, after then-Gov. Bill Clinton was elected president and attention turned to his investments in a north Arkansas land development called Whitewater, Simmons was often asked to explain the wide-reaching investigation.
"It was like a black hole in space drawing all the energy out of everything," Simmons said during a 2007 interview for an oral history project at the University of Arkansas. "I had reporters from Tokyo who couldn't speak English calling me at 4:00 in the morning, you know, getting me out of bed, wanting to know things about Whitewater and about Clinton and about Hillary."
Brown, born in Green Forest, became a best-selling author with her million-selling book "Sex and the Single Girl" that offered advice, opinion and anecdotes on why being a single woman should not mean being sexless. She was hired in 1965 by Hearst Magazines as editor of Cosmopolitan, leading the magazine until 1997, although she stayed on as editor-in-chief of the magazine's foreign editions
Brown died Aug. 13 in New York at age 90.
Longtime Memphis Commercial Appeal state Capitol correspondent Joan Duffy and Perrin Jones, whose family owned The Daily Citizen in Searcy where he served as editor and later wrote a weekly column, also died during the year.
Businessman William C. Nolan Jr., 72, the chairman of Murphy Oil Corp. and a longtime executive with the company, died in March.
On the political front, former state Rep. Lloyd George Danville died at age 85. Danville served in the Legislature from 1963-66 and again from 1973-97 and regularly wore overalls on the final day of the session, saying he was returning to his farm.
Former Little Rock mayor and state Rep. George Eugene Wimberly, 92; Tommy Caubble of Wynne, the Republican nominee for a state Senate seat; and former Helena Mayor Robert Miller, who was killed when a gun he was cleaning accidentally fired, also died.
Levon Helm, who was born in Elaine and grew up near Helena before going on to fame as a drummer and singer with The Band, died April 19 at age 71. Other entertainers dying during 2012 include former Arkansas Symphony Orchestra conductor William Francis McBeth and Bill Dees of Mountain Home, co-author of the classic Roy Orbison hit "Oh, Pretty Woman."
Arminta Jones, an Ozan native and the mother of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, died at age 90 and Nolan "Notes" Richardson III, son of former Arkansas basketball coach Nolan Richardson who was an assistant on his father's staff at UA died in May at his home in Tulsa at age 47 and longtime Harding University football coach Clifford John Prock died at age 83.
Also, Charles White, 83, one of the first blacks to work at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences when he was hired in 1958 during the Civil Rights era, died in September after retiring in December 2011 as assistant vice chancellor for employee relations at UAMS.
And Thomas Austin "Amarillo Slim" Preston Jr., the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Gambler" who was born in Johnson, died in April in Texas. Preston won the 1972 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 1992.

Pair Offers Piano Recital
PLAINVIEW – The Wayland Baptist University Division of Fine Arts, Department of Music presents Mark Anthony Pair, Piano Artist in Residence, in a faculty concert featuring "Piano Selections of Edvard Grieg," at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 28 in Harral Memorial Auditorium.
Pair served as an associate professor of music at Wayland for 36 years, performing 72 piano faculty concerts, one per semester. He has performed five additional concerts in retirement. Pair's forte is in selecting works by a single composer.
Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer of the late romantic era transcending into the Impressionism of the early 20th century. It is said that Grieg was romantic, falling in love and marrying at an early age. His music is said to reflect his love life, embodied with the nationalism of folk songs and dances from his Scandinavian country. He desired to write poetry for the piano as well as the orchestra and vocal arrangements.
Featured in the program are three of Grieg's main categories of piano works. He wrote 10 sets or opus numbers of lyric pieces, numerous sets of original piano works and composite piano works. Those works include "Morning Mood," "In the Hall of the Mountain King," Butterfly," "Notturno," "To Spring" and "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen." In these selections, one can visualize snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, fjords, the midnight sun and mountainsides covered with goats and flowers, all portraying a song of love or sorrow.
Admission to Pair's performance is free of charge and open to the public.

Peapard Sweater
Added Dec 14, 2013
by saxsilverain
Espoo, Finland
i never cared much about animal prints. ESPECIALLY leopards. but then i saw Kenzo SS13 collection. i could've dissed it like any other animal print trends over the years, but the way they made it look fun and cartoony (meaning: not trying to actually look like real animal skin) got me into liking it & wanting to own a fun leopard print clothing item.
so when i saw the perfect fabric, i decided to give it a try. at first, when i was thinking of making some Kenzo-inspired sweater, i thought if i was lucky enough i'd probably land myself a crazy-coloured leopard print knit fabric… like in pink or purple. didn't think i would get THIS lucky to find a leopard print AND peacock print in one knit fabric! :D so i call this sweater "Peapard", from peacock and leopard. ha!
since the print itself is already crazy enough, i decided to just make a simple sweater out of it. i used a combination of pattern no. 123 and 124 of the April 2013 issue of Burda Style magazine.
since i don't have serger/overlocker, i tend to avoid sewing stretchy fabrics like jersey and knits. but the coolest prints usually come in those fabrics, so i sometimes gave in and tried sewing them anyway. this was the first time i sew this kind of acrylic/polyamide knit fabric, and i must say, the sleeve cuffs and hem were tricky to do. but nevertheless i succeeded, and am so proud of the result!
oh, and of course i had to add metal studs to the collar. you can barely see them, but they give just the perfect amount of bling to the sweater.
Material Notes
about 1,5 m of acrylic/polyamide knit,
a few metal studs to your liking.

The need to account for earthquake hazards in switchgear design affects nearly all of us
An earthquake will occur today. The same can be said for tomorrow and the day after. Most of these quakes will go unnoticed by everything but sensitive seismic instruments. Others will cause substantial, sometimes catastrophic, destruction. Most people in the United States incorrectly think of earthquakes as phenomena exclusive to California, but the unpredictability of where they will strike is well documented. For example, a magnitude 4.4 earthquake—considered capable of causing moderate damage by most seismic scales—hit Little Rock, Ark., an area generally considered safe from strong seismic activity, in May 2001. The quake occurred about 100 miles west of the New Madrid Fault, which slices through northeast Arkansas. In the mid-1800s, this fault was responsible for the most damaging earthquake ever to hit the United States—a two-day event strong enough to cause the Mississippi River to temporarily flow north. It's this unpredictability that makes it important for you to protect your electrical equipment. Facilities managers typically have to worry about lightning when planning protection for their electrical equipment, but depending on where they're located, they might also want to consider seismic protection for switchgear.
Knocking down earthquake myths. The National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) estimates that 500,000 detectable earthquakes occur worldwide annually. Of these detectable quakes, 100,000 are strong enough to be felt without instrumentation and about 100 cause structural damage. Of the 42 states that record seismic magnitudes, 27 have experienced quakes above 5.4 on the Richter scale, the point at which quakes can cause significant damage.
Certain regions are more prone to earthquakes than others. The rim of the Pacific Ocean, for example, is home to a considerable amount of seismic activity. A small area of the United States experiences no earthquakes. In a 20-year span beginning in 1975 only four states—Florida, Iowa, North Dakota, and Wisconsin—failed to record any seismic activity. The Uniform Building Code (UBC) divides the country into six seismic zones. Zone 0 includes areas with the least potential for seismic damage, which account for roughly one-third of the country. Zone 1 has a low likelihood of seismic activity, and Zones 2A and 2B have moderate levels. Zones 3 and 4 have the most potential for catastrophic destruction. California has several Zone 4 regions, and the New Madrid Fault has also earned this classification (Figure).
Seismic-related failures, extended outages, and the likelihood of damage to switchgear increase as the Zone number goes up. However, you have an option for coping with your area's earthquake potential—seismically certified switchgear.
Coping with quakes. Earthquake frequency and potential for damage, combined with the country's growing reliance on a steady supply of power, have led to revisions in state and local building codes that strengthen a structure's ability to withstand an earthquake. Many areas now mandate improved seismic design for buildings and equipment that have proven themselves to be cost-effective.
The UBC, the California Building Code (CBC), Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), and the 2000 International Building Code (IBC) all list seismic load requirements for electrical distribution and power control equipment. To meet these updated building standards, companies are installing switchgear rated to withstand seismic activity.
Most electrical distribution equipment manufacturers place seismic ratings on their switchgear that are based only on calculations that predict how the equipment will react to a seismic event. Many manufacturers submit their equipment to national testing labs that simulate seismic activity for certification. To understand some of the language used in the certification, see the Sidebar on page 56.
UBC guidelines for seismic switchgear components specify that the test response spectrum be based on a 5% minimum damping factor, a peak of 2.15gs (3.2 Hz to 11 Hz) and a zero period acceleration (ZPA) of 0.86gs applied at the base of the equipment. Natural equipment frequencies must be at least 35 Hz. Most earthquake frequencies range from 10 Hz to 30 Hz. Seismic activity will adversely affect equipment with natural frequencies that fall within this range.
Seismic switchgear certification requires switchgear components, cabinets, anchoring mounts, and connections to pass shake table testing for a specific zone. For example, equipment tested for New York City would have to pass Zone 2A requirements. If any of the equipment fails the shake table test, chances are the switchgear wouldn't function following a typical seismic event in New York City.
Installation standards. Establishing equipment seismic capability is the first step toward certification. The next step is ensuring the installation methods meet certain standards. For example, you must anchor equipment to the building foundation in a way that prevents or minimizes damage during an earthquake. Improperly attached equipment can overturn or become so flexible that it shears the attachment devices and slides off its foundation. The embedded concrete anchors or steel attachments must be adequate to resist the forces established by the UBC.
Equipment manufacturers provide mounting recommendations based upon shaker table tests used to verify the seismic design of switchgear. These tests prove that a piece of equipment will continue to function after a seismic event. The equipment must be easy to reset soon after the event and keep its structural integrity. This doesn't mean that circuit breakers and relays won't trip offline during an event. Switchgear must have this capability for third party testing labs to give it a seismic certification.
A structural or civil engineer responsible for providing the correct attachment method. Manufacturers provide bolt-down locations and other mounting recommendations. The engineer then designs the type and depth of anchors, and suggests additional mounting requirements for the seismically certified switchgear.
The final step is a review of the electrical connections within the system. The designer must specify suitable interface methods. Bottom entry of conduits is the recommended method for switchgear and transformers, because the bottom will sway less than the top. For top entry, you may need to use seismic fittings or flexible conduit. You can use flexible bus to connect generators to busway, and insulating boots may improve the integrity of these installations.
Is it for you? Seismic switchgear helps limit the devastation of most seismic activity, both directly by protecting the switchgear and indirectly by maintaining essential power. The issue you must address is risk vs. cost. If you're in a Zone 3 or Zone 4 area, the cost of seismic switchgear is easy to justify. As you move down the zone numbers, the considerations become more complex. Your insurer may be able to help you work through these considerations. Be sure to address the criticality of your operations and the possible collateral damage caused by loss of power.

Sidebar: Seismic Switchgear Terminology
Damping factor: The damping property of equipment limits the total amplification the equipment will experience at resonance. For example, assume two cabinets are identical in design, mounting, and weight. However, one cabinet is a welded structure and the other is a bolted structure. During an earthquake, the structural elements in the bolted cabinet will move relative to each other, causing friction and noise, so the seismic energy dissipates much faster than in the welded cabinet. Thus, the bolted cabinet will damp the energy more quickly than the welded cabinet, reducing the time for the seismic response to build up. The damping properties of a system are a direct indication of the system's ability to dissipate earthquake energy. Without damping, equipment response amplification at resonance increases without bound. The higher the damping factor of the equipment, the lower its response curves. When comparing response spectrum curves, you must plot them with the same damping factor.
"g": This variable represents the acceleration magnitude correlating to the resultant seismic forces on the equipment. The energy content of an earthquake can best be defined by a response spectrum curve, which plots acceleration (g) vs. the frequency in Hz.
Impact on the test: Acceleration (g), frequency, and the damping factor define the test response spectrum curve used for equipment evaluation.
ZPA: This is the acceleration magnitude that is the maximum response of rigid systems. A rigid system doesn't amplify the motion of an earthquake. The ZPA at the high frequency end of the response spectrum directly defines the maximum acceleration of the earthquake.

Madeline better known as Matt, was born in the Choctaw Nation in Eagletown, where her family farmed, Her Father was George Dixon Porter her Mother was Nannie Susan nee Martin Porter, George and Nannie had 9 children who lived, Frank, Mable(Jo), Ora Dell, Jack, William (Bill). Doxie(Matt), John F., Katherine(Katey), and Nancy.
My mother was an avid fisherman, gardener, excellent Farm wife, and she taught me the serenity of milking a cow at 6 a.m. by hand. She had bad luck in her marriages, first to my Father who could not express himself and his emotions well, and then to Mr. DeBroeck who was as some put it a sadistic psycopath, she Divorced him after 23 years of hell and was never quite the same as her personality had been sublimated by so many years of psychological abuse, But Mom was Mom and we all loved her, she had two children with Mr.DeBroeck my brother Christopher who had no children and a sister Debbi who died in infancy. Mom always said she stayed with Mr. DeBroeck for us kids but as an adult female now I know that it was fear of losing her children that kept her there.
My mother was a crack shot, and once blew a racoon out of a tree at about 300 feet, got him in the head with a .22 rifle, the coon had been getting into her chickens and stealing eggs, all in all Mother was not someone you would care to tangle with if you were intent on harming her children or her animals. I never was able to know the beautiful Blackhaired half breed my mother was as a young woman, but she was true to her blood, Cherokee women are that way.
I miss her more and more as I get older and hear her spirit when the rivers break loose and the Salmon begin to run, yata hey

Rock Hudon's Gay Confession Was Secretly Recorded By His Wife
Before TMZ there was Hollywood private eye Fred Otash. Otash helped many a star and starlet during the 50s and 60s, but his just released recorded tapes about his wife confronting Rock Hudson over his sexuality are the most nail biting.
The Hollywood Reporter has the details:
On January 21, 1958, Rock Hudson's wife confronted him, demanding to know if he was gay and grilling the actor about a Rorschach test he had taken. "You told me you saw thousands of butterflies and also snakes," she said "[A therapist] told me in my analysis that butterflies mean femininity and snakes represent that male penis. I'm not condemning you, but it seems that as long as you recognize your problem, you would want to do something about it." She also complained about "your great speed with me, sexually. Are you that fast with boys?"
"Well, it's a physical conjunction [sic]," replied Rock, then 32. "Boys don't fit. So, this is why it lasts longer."
Added Phyllis: "Everyone knows that you were picking up boys off the street shortly after we were married and have continued to do so, thinking that being married would cover up for you."
"I have never picked up any boys on the street," Rock insisted. "I have never picked up any boys in a bar, never. I have never picked up any boys, other than to give them a ride."

The Smart and Easy Way to Protect Your Data
Technology makes many things easier: Composing documents, editing photos and videos, and listening to music, for starters. Computers are also indispensable tools for business and financial purposes. But technology occasionally fails. Just ask Delta and other companies that have suffered computer outages. It can happen to a giant corporation, and it can happen to your humble hard drive. You can either tear out your hair when disaster strikes, or you can prepare for it. Online backup services are one of the best ways to protect yourself against loss of precious computer data, whether it's a result of a crashed hard drive or an unintentional deletion.
Hard drive crashes and editing mishaps aren't the only things online backup can protect you from: There are also more traditional disasters such as fires, floods, and earthquakes, which can spell the end of your digital media and documents. Even if you're among the very few of us who diligently perform backups at regular intervals, those calamities can still result in data loss if you didn't store backups off-site. That's a good reason why an online backup service may be the best way to protect your irreplaceable digital goods.
Online backup services have you install software on you PC that scans your storage for files worthy of backup, encrypts them for security, and sends them up to the cloud—that trendy word that just means powerful, secure, and high-storage-capacity server computers attached to the internet with fast connections. Once your files are stored on those cloud servers, they're accessible for you to restore to the same PC, should a file go missing. In most cases, the service also lets you access your files from a web browser or mobile device.
Though there's some overlap, online backup services shouldn't be confused with cloud storage and syncing services like Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Those services do store files in the cloud, but they aren't designed to automatically protect all important documents and media files, let alone system files. Their strategy is generally to sync just one folder with all its subfolders to the cloud, and in some cases to offer online collaborative document editing. One crossover product is SugarSync, which lets you sync folders wherever they exist on your drive.
Online Backup Pricing Plans
Since you're probably going to be paying for a backup service for years, you should know from the start what you're getting into in terms of money. They're all subscription-based, and there are many ways the vendors slice and dice the fees to make them seem appealing. Some backup services list prices by the month, but those prices often only apply if you commit to a one- or two-year contract. Some offer completely free accounts with lower storage allotments, but many only offer time-limited free trial accounts.
Some online backup services' prices only cover one PC, while others specify a number of machines you can use in one account. Still others cover unlimited PCs, but limit the amount of data you can back up to the cloud server storage. To level the price playing field, we list the vendor's principal stated plan for one year of service at the top of each review.
Choosing What to Back Up and When
How a backup service lets you choose which files to protect wildly varies, from the totally hands-free Backblaze, which selects the likely files you'd want to have backed up and immediately starts encrypting and uploading them, to SpiderOakONE and services like it, which simply let you choose whatever files you want from your PC's folder tree.
Different services allow different types of files from differing sources. Some don't let you protect system and program files. Others don't let you back up files and folders on external or network drives. If you have any of those needs, make sure the service you choose supports them. Some services, like Acronis True Image Cloud, can back up your entire hard drive—the best protection against a total disaster claiming your computer.
There are two main ways a service can determine when files should be sent up to its servers for safekeeping. The first is by using a fixed schedule, such as once a day, week, or month. The second, which we find preferable, is to upload file changes as they're saved on your computer, in a continuous backup setup. With this system, which is used by Carbonite and CrashPlan, most services only transfer the changed part of the file, so that your internet connection is not overburdened.
Security and Performance
Most services encrypt your files with strong systems such as AES 256 or Blowfish before sending them up to the servers. But how the encryption keys are generated is a big differentiator. Several services, such as SpiderOakOne offer a security-and-privacy option in which you alone possess the password, which is never stored on the service's server computers. Others, such as SOS Online and CrashPlan can have you use a separate password from your main account password for the encryption.
The caveat for these higher levels of security and privacy is that, if you forget your passphrase, not even the provider's employees will be able to restore your data. Even if compelled by law enforcement, they won't be able to decrypt your files. Yet you'll want it to be a strong, hard-to-crack password, too, since it will grant access to so much of your digital life. Your best bet is to use a password manager to keep track of it for you.
The speed with which a service can prep your files (usually involving encryption and compression) and transfer them to their servers doesn't only impact how long it will take to get a large amount of data—often numbering many gigabytes—up to the servers. The speed also affects how much of an impact on your computer its processing will have. Make sure to check out our speed test results in the review of any service you're contemplating purchasing.
Restoring Folders and Files
An online backup service isn't much good if it doesn't make easy the process of restoring your data and getting back to being productive. Look for a service that offers a search tool to find a particular backed-up file. It's also desirable for a service to be able to replicate an entire folder-tree structure, so that it can deal with bigger data losses. One consideration in restoring is that if you bought a plan that covers just one computer, you may have to transfer the account to a new PC if you want to restore everything and use the service for that computer.
Versioning is another capability offered by many of the services. This lets you see earlier versions of a file in case you made some unwanted edits. Services vary widely in the number of versions saved and how long they're kept. Some, like SOS Online Backup and CrashPlan, save every version forever. SOS even permanently saves files you've accidentally deleted from the source PC. Some providers don't consider this an online backup function, but rather an archiving function. Call it what you like, it can save your bacon if you need an earlier file version or one that you deleted by mistake.
Web and Mobile Backup Clients
The web is everywhere these days, and the same should hold true for your backed-up files. What's the point of having your documents and media in the cloud if you don't have web access to them? Most online backup providers let you get at your files from a web browser, but capabilities vary. Many simply let you download the files, but some let you view documents and photos and play music and videos. File sharing is another feature you'll find in online backup services' web clients, and some services even let you specify a password for access and a timeout period for the shared file.
The same comment that applies for web access applies to mobile: You should have access to cloud-stored files no matter where you are and what device you're using. Most online backup services offer Android apps and iOS apps, and some even offer Windows Phone apps. Like the services' sites, these apps may just offer simple document and media file download, but many can also display the documents and photos and play the video and music. Many also offer the same file-sharing capabilities of their browser-based counterparts.
Online Backup Extras
Some services go an extra mile, with features above and beyond the call of duty. This includes things like letting you send an external disk loaded with your data to save you from uploading a massive number of gigabytes. Others will restore files using that same physical-disk method. For extra and closer-to-hand protection, some services include software that can back your data up to local storage. If you need faster access to data than cloud storage offers, you might also consider installing standalone local backup software. A couple of the services even can locate your devices and remotely wipe them in case they're lost or stolen.

Freestate necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 56 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Inspired by Around the World in 80 Days, I am planning to travel/hike around Brazil for 80 days in order to learn portuguese and raise funds for a charity project.
My travel blog aims to target people and companies in Brazil who like to help making my journey a success. The website will be both in English and Portuguese language. In portuguese my blog is called: "Volta ao Brasil em 80 Dias"
About the text: The logo must include the text "Around Brazil in 80 Days", but attempts to somehow include the portuguese version "Volta ao Brasil em 80 Dias" as well, will be very much appreciated.
Other than above I don't have any further strict requirements, so feel free to try anything you want. Just take into account that although the logo is primairly needed for my travel blog, I also might want to print it on a T-shirt. This is why I don't have a real preference towards either a horizontal shaped logo or more square shaped logo.
About the colors: No requirements, but the use of typical Brazilian colors (green, yellow, blue and white) is appreciated. I prefer a white background, because that's most practical, but it's not a requirement.
About the use of images: All text-logos are allowed, but the same holds for the use of images. Using the elements of the Brazilian flag is not considered corny at all, on the contrary, it's appreciated.

Gary Rothera Interview on Headset Press
Gary Rothera makes some of the finest cycling caps you'll come across. The good folks at Headset Press conducted a little interview with him recently – check that out here. I've never personally met Gary, but Hunt actually attended school with his sister and the last time we were down in the Philadelphia area two summers ago his parents were kind enough to let us crash at their house, which is just outside of Philly.
Gary seems like a real standup guy; not only from reading this interview but also from the generosity and kindness of his folks. I remember we spent the first night at their place and were beyond grateful for the warm meal and couch space. Upon finding out we'd be in Philly for an extra night, they immediately extended our stay despite having to leave that morning to take Elizabeth back to college. Yup, we actually had the house to ourselves the second night…talk about some great and very trusting people.

The spread of ALS-resistant, dinitroanalin resistant and glyphosate resistant weeds is dealing more misery to peanut and cotton growers throughout the South in 2007.
Decreases in cotton acreage in the South seem to have heightened the spread of resistance problems with a number of ALS-inhibiting herbicides in peanuts.
The return to dinotroanalin, or DNA or yellow herbicides, used in part of avoid ALS resistance, also has exposed resistance to this family of older herbicides.
DNA-based herbicides, including Prowl, Sonolan and Treflan, have been dogged by a multitude of problems in corn in the Midwest for many years. Currently, six species of weeds, including Palmer amaranth in South Carolina, have documented resistance to DNAs.
In the lower Southeast thousands of acres of peanuts were planted well into June because of the intense drought across the region. In many cases delay in planting gave weeds a head start, forcing growers to rely heavily on herbicides that work well to control a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds — unfortunately the product of choice is often acetolactate synthesis inhibiting herbicides, commonly called ALS-inhibitors.
University of Georgia Weed Scientist Eric Prostko, speaking at the recent Southern Peanut Growers Association meeting in Panama City Beach, Fla., urged growers to know more than the trade name of herbicides. It is critical, he says, to know the mode of action of different families of herbicides.
"With over 20 different ALS-inhibiting herbicides on the market, it is too easy for a grower to alternate chemicals with different trade names, thinking he is doing a good thing by rotating herbicides. If he uses seven different herbicides on four different crops and all the herbicides are ALS-inhibitors, he is greatly increasing the risk of resistance," Prostko points out.
The newest family of herbicides, the protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors, commonly called PPOs, like the ALS-inhibitors work well on a broad spectrum of weeds, are environmentally and human friendly. So far, the PPO products, including Reflex, Cobra, Valor, Ultra Blazer, Aim and Storm have not had resistance problems, but over-use is a good way to get there.
Growing peanuts in a no-till or reduced-till system has created some additional weed management challenges for growers. In many cases cover crops are used and the least expensive, most effective herbicide for burndown of cover crop stubble is glyphosate.
In cotton and soybean growing areas, with heavy use of Roundup Ready technology, the threat of developing pigweed, horsenettle, lambsquarters, ragweed and cocklebur resistance, or antagonizing an existing problem is significant.
Research conducted in 2006 by Stanley Culpepper at the University of Georgia and John Wilcut at North Carolina State University shows that weed competition and interference directly correlates with yield loss in cotton. Cotton yields are reduced exponentially when weeds are allowed to germinate and compete season-long, emphasizing the importance of residual herbicides and alternate modes of action to reduce the likelihood of weed escapes from ineffective applications of glyphosate alone.
Peanut weed research at North Carolina State University correlates with the cotton research findings.
Staying weed free for as little as 20 days after planting made a significant difference in peanut yields in studies conducted by North Carolina State researchers.
Results of these studies are sure to increase the use of pre-emerge herbicides in both peanuts and cotton. Which of these herbicides to use and what results to expect are critical factors in weed resistance management.
University of Georgia Graduate Student Andrew MacRae conducted tests in 2006 to determine the density of glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth required to reduce cotton yield, as well as the effect of establishment time on yield.
Six- to eight-leaf Palmer amaranth plants were hand-transplanted into plots, which had been maintained weed-free with pre-emerge and postemerge herbicides. The plants were cultivated from a field with known resistance and treated with glyphosate at 22 ounces two weeks prior to transplanting.
Treatments included several plant densities and multiple establishment times to mimic weed escape scenarios following herbicide application.
Results confirmed that Palmer amaranth establishment at the three- to eight-leaf stage of cotton significantly reduces yield. One plant per 20 feet of row resulted in a 6-7 percent yield loss, while losses skyrocketed when weed density was increased to 10 plants per 20 feet of row. At 10 plants, yield losses reached 60 to 68 percent.
Conversely, MacRae calculated the yield increase when weed establishment is delayed until cotton is more mature and less susceptible to weed competition. MacRae measured a three percent yield increase for every cotton leaf stage that Palmer amaranth establishment is delayed at densities of two, three and five plants per 20 feet of row.
In treatments with weed densities of 10 plants, the yield increase was further enhanced to 4.5 percent per leaf stage.
Tests in North Carolina, conducted by North Carolina State Weed Scientist John Wilcut showed an increase in cotton yield of nearly 700 pounds of cotton per acre when fields were kept weed free for six weeks after planting, compared to fields that remained weedy 2-10 weeks after planting.
"I recommend to all growers that they use residual herbicides at planting, whether they have confirmed resistance or not," said Wilcut. "To overcome herbicide resistance, growers are going to have to overcome checkbook resistance. Although it may cost you more in inputs, incorporating alternate modes of action and residual herbicides into your weed management program will help you preserve yield. In most cases, the profit earned by preserving yield will offset the cost of herbicides."
"I consider glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth to be the greatest threat to U.S. cotton production since the boll weevil," said Wilcut. "We must manage as though we already have resistance to prevent the spread of this devastating weed."
In herbicide trials, Wilcut found the best pre-emergence treatment for weed control is a tank mixture of Reflex and Prowl. Wilcut noted that Reflex should provide 100 percent control of emerged Palmer amaranth less than two inches in height, further demonstrating the importance of controlling weeds while they are small.
Prostko points out it will cost growers approximately $42 to control resistant pigweed, compared to $25 per acre to reduce the chance of developing resistance.
In North Carolina, Wilcut says, "Reflex is an important component of a Palmer amaranth control program, and is also effective on common ragweed, wild poinsettia and yellow nutsedge. "Growers can generally expect 4-6 weeks of residual control on ideal soils."
Though pre-emerge-applied broadleaf herbicides give some control of troublesome weeds, Prostko contends the big advantage of using these materials is that they buy a grower time.
He adds that mechanical cultivation, despite more than double the cost of diesel fuel in the past years, is still an option.
Despite well documented problems with glyphosate resistant weeds, this herbicide continues to be among the most cost effective to growers in the Southeast, especially when tank-mixed with other materials in controlling non-resistant weeds.
In fields with documented glyphosate resistant pigweed Wilcut notes Dual Magnum, a biosynthesis inhibitor, when applied pre-emergence, can improve management of these weeds.
Biosynthesis inhibitors must be applied to glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth before emergence because just a few days can be important for season-long control, Wilcut says.
Research by the North Carolina State scientist has also shown biosynthesis inhibitors to be effective against goosegrass, crowfootgrass and crabgrass and will help reduce the likelihood of grass resistance, which Wilcut contends is probable in coming years.
There is little doubt that weed resistance to herbicides will continue to be a bigger problem each year for row crop farmers, unless they understand the different modes of action and follow documented resistance management programs developed by researchers, like Stanley Culpepper and Eric Prostko at the University of Georgia and John Wilcut and Alan York at North Carolina State, who have been working on the problem for a number of years.

HAMPTON, VA -- The Navy offered a sneak peek of its new Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling Series (NOFFS) program last week at the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Conference in Hampton, VA.
NOFFS will be rolled out to the fleet in June and will be included in the command fitness leader course by 2011.
The overall program includes nutritional education, while the fitness portion was designed to prevent injuries among more sedentary troops.
"The program will take us into a whole new realm of physical readiness in the Navy," says Lisa Sexauer, program manager of fitness and injury prevention for Commander, Navy Installations Command. "It's far more contemporary and will accentuate our ability to perform at a higher level operationally with greater durability and less risk for injury."
The Navy worked with Athletes' Performance Institute (API) to develop the system and conducted focus groups with more than 750 sailors.
"We have taken a comprehensive approach working with the Navy, including looking at the strength program, warm-up and cardiovascular fitness demands of a sailor," says Paul Cauldwell, performance specialist at API. "We also looked at the nutritional needs a sailor has both abroad and while they are deployed."
The program incorporates five main principles: eat clean, eat often, hydrate, recover and mindset. NOFFS also will feature a nutritional booklet for sailors that includes menus and nutrition rules.

FACT Overview
From DocWiki
The Cisco Fabric Analysis and Correlation Toolkit (FACT) is a software application that aids in bringing up and debugging InfiniBand networks. FACT analyzes hardware objects and identifies components in the fabric that need attention, such as faulty cables, loose cables, faulty HCAs, and faulty switches and switching modules. FACT also analyzes InfiniBand networks at a high level to detect errors in the fabric by building coherent models of the relationships between InfiniBand objects (nodes, ports, GUIDs, and LIDs) and physical objects (chassis, cards, and ports).
FACT collects and reports the network topology and connectivity at the level of a simple subnet, monitors the logs on Cisco Server Fabric Switches, and summarizes and annotates the most important information therein. FACT maintains a historical view of a subnet and can show how the topology changes over time.
FACT also does the following:
- Provides tools to explore the relationships between InfiniBand objects and physical objects
- Enables you to annotate logs, especially Subnet Manager logs, turning each GUID into a meaningful location in a chassis
- Collects InfiniBand port counters and displays them, also with meaningful locations
- Updates firmware over a number of switches
- Enables and disables ports
- Sets port speed and width
This toolkit aids system administrators in managing and deploying a new IB fabric. FACT provides an abstraction layer across the Cisco IB switching family.

AMD Radeon HD 7970 review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, PC / Laptop, Product Reviews, Video Games,
The perpetual war for supremacy between AMD and Nvidia constantly leaves enthusiasts dodging shrapnel: When you want the best video card you can afford, why buy one now instead of waiting for the better one the competing chipset designer will undoubtedly release in a few months? This leaves reviewers in a tough spot, too, as we're constantly proclaiming that nearly every new card is the fastest ever. But because you can only live in the world you live in, we're obliged to go there. So, here goes once again: The just-released AMD Radeon HD 7970 ($549 list) is the latest fastest and most feature-rich single-GPU card ever, surpassing our previous Editors' Choice winner, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 580.
Though we have little doubt that Nvidia will yank back that title with its next generation of cards, the 7970 is an impressive achievement for the moment. (It's rumored to become widely available by early January of 2012.) The inaugural member of the Southern Islands family, it utilizes a fresh architecture AMD refers to as "Graphics Core Next." Based on a new 28nm process technology and utilizing more than 4.3 billion transistors, Graphics Core Next uses a revised instruction set architecture, gives each compute unit the ability to simultaneously execute instructions from multiple kernels, and delivers an increased number of instructions per clock cycle per square millimeter of GPU space. The result, so AMD claims, is "designed for high utilization, high throughput, and multitasking."

John Garvey, president of The Catholic University of America, sees a strong link between Catholic family life and the long-term vitality of Catholic education.
"The decline in families is not something we read enough about in the mainstream press. This is a serious problem in America today," Garvey told Our Sunday Visitor during a recent interview.
Garvey said the cultural breakdown of the family, with higher rates of divorce and children being born into single-parent families, along with higher operating expenses and rising secularism with its related threats to religious liberty all pose serious issues that Catholic education officials will have to deal with in the coming decades.
"We are seeing a trend of children born outside families with no fathers. When children are born outside families, 9 out of 10 times it's the mother who raises the children, and you see how that plays out in the later life of the children. There are reasons why girls are outperforming boys in higher education," Garvey said.
Garvey discussed similar issues during a Nov. 7 address before a Catholic Press Association conference in Alexandria, Va. Garvey told the media professionals and OSV that Catholic educational institutions cannot be taken for granted even though they have a long history dating back several centuries.
"Catholic education is a gift we will have to work hard to preserve," Garvey said.
Our Sunday Visitor: What are the challenges facing Catholic higher education today?
Garvey: I think there are two big ones. Both of them are challenges. We face issues of cost and value. The cost thing is obvious because Catholic schools are by definition not public schools, so they are not supported by tax dollars. We have to raise money in the form of tuition and grants to support our undertaking, but Catholic education still has to be an affordable proposition.
Five years since the recession of 2008, I think parents are reexamining their balance sheets and asking if (Catholic education) is worth it.
That leads to the second point: on the value of Catholic education. I think there is a distinctive value we have, a value that is in competition with public and other private schools. ... We need to be who we truly are called to be if we want to offer something that people can't find elsewhere.
OSV: How are cultural trends relating to family life affecting Catholic education?
Garvey: I think one thing that is happening in the culture is girls in single-family homes often have role models with their moms who work and raise their families, while boys in families without fathers don't have those same role models. Children who grow up in families with no fathers get into trouble at higher rates and go to church less. It's become characteristic of American society today that we're raising a very large number of children in this way, and that shows up in higher education, and also in later life outcomes. It's a problem that we can't give enough attention to.
We have also seen, since I was a boy, a really radical decline in the number of people attending Catholic elementary and secondary schools. That has gone along with not a decline in population but a decline in the commitment of parents in sending their children to Catholic schools. We have also seen a decline of religious-order vocations that used to teach in the Catholic schools. This is happening everywhere, and the bishops know the problems best of all. They're the ones who have to close the schools and churches, and this has a lot of follow-up effects.
OSV: What effect does fewer students attending Catholic elementary and secondary schools have on Catholic higher ed?
Garvey: Catholic schools traditionally are the places where Catholic colleges and universities have drawn their students from. That is changing fast.
It means not just that we don't have a group of people all in one place that we can go and pitch our message to. It also means that more young people are being educated in public or, sometimes, other private schools, but mostly public elementary and secondary schools, so they have not had 12 years of an education that will enable them to appreciate what makes Catholic education special.
OSV: How is the rising tide of secularism impacting Catholic higher education?
Garvey: It's related both in cause and effect. On the cause side, people for whose faith is not that important to them won't go through the trouble of paying for Catholic education for their sons and daughters when they can get a public education for free.
In another way, it's an effect. The surest sign of whether a married adult will go to church and send their kids to parochial schools, or at least send them to church, is whether they themselves have attended parochial schools.
At The Catholic University of America (CUA), for example, among our students who attended Catholic schools before coming to CUA, they have a weekly Mass attendance of about 65 percent. Among the Catholic students who attended public schools, their rate of Mass attendance we hear often is about 20 percent. If you want your kid to go to Mass when they go off to college, I think the really important thing to do is to send students to parochial schools when they are kids.
OSV: How is religious liberty a pressing concern for Catholic education?
Garvey: I think religious liberty is becoming a really important question for Catholic institutions of all kinds, not just for universities, but also for all Americans. For example, the HHS mandate [on contraception coverage in the Affordable Care Act] will compel us to do something we feel conscientious reservations about doing.
Further down the road, taking into account that there is a lot of federal money that flows to higher education and social services, we may come to a situation where federal money is tied to government-approved outcomes, or we may see tax exemptions being denied to institutions that engage in activities the government disapproves of. Over the very long term a serious problem could arise where the government is in a position to call the tune that the universities have to dance to because they are providing the money.
OSV: With more students attending Catholic colleges who are not as well-catechized as in the past, how will those institutions respond to challenges faced in campus life?
Garvey: This will draw more attention in the future than it has in the past. There are two important things to keep in mind. One is being clear and upfront about who we are so we attract, as students, people who understand what we are selling.
The second thing that is important to keep in mind is the world around us is changing. It doesn't do good to just pound the table and shout out a discussion of what the culture approves of nowadays. Our role as educators is to understand where the students are coming from, understand and communicate well what the Catholic tradition is and how it is related to leading better lives. We're going to see a lot of this. It's important for us not to put our heads in the sand about it.

Eddie Lack's Wolves are playing back-to-back against the Rivermen this weekend
Apologies for the delay in this week's Wolf Prowl, it was a crazy finish to the term for me. We'll be back on our regular schedule this week.
After a slow start to the year, the Wolves seem to be rounding into form. The offence, which had been misfiring, is now finding the back of the net with regularity. The defence still has some causes for concern, but in general has improved. (Special thanks to friend of the blog Wolfkeeper for his continued efforts in putting highlights up on youtube)
Weekend Wrap
The Wolves closed out their 'road' stretch a week ago Friday , smashing arch-rival Milwaukee 6-3. Their return to the Allstate Arena last Saturday didn't go so well, as they lost 4-3 to the visiting San Antonio Rampage. They also played a mid-week home game vs Texas, bouncing back to win 3-2. Last night the Wolves returned to their winning ways, taking out the Rivermen 5-3.
Darren Haydar continued his strong play of late, picking up 6 points in 3 games. He was also +4 against the Admirals. Mark Mancari also had a strong game against Milwaukee, setting up two goals and scoring one of his own. Mark Matheson was +4 in that same game. Kevin Connauton is really firing on all cylinders, he scored a pair of goals and a pair of assists. He also wore an 'A' in Wednesday's game. Adam Polasek picked up a goal in the first period against Texas, his first pro goal. Matt Climie continued his strong play, making 40 saves against Texas and 31 against the Admirals. Anton Rodin scored a beautiful end-to-end goal against the Rampage. Anton Rodin's goal against San Antonio was an end-to-end gem. Jordan Schroeder scored a pair of goals last night, after having gone goalless in the previous five games. Schroeder's 2nd goal was into an empty net, assisted by Rodin. The two youngsters being on the ice in the last minute to protect a one-goal lead is a huge testament to the trust Craig MacTavish has in them.
Haydar, Mancari and Nathan Longpre were all -3 in the loss to San Antonio and Sebastian Erixon was -2. Eddie Lack made his first start in five games in Saturday's loss, but gave up 4 goals on 26 shots. Lack didn't have much defensive help on any of the three goals in Saturday's win. Situational awareness and puck-watching continue to be a problem for the Wolves' defensive corps.
Lineup Notes
JP Testuwide played his first two games of the year, after being recalled from the Central league. Yann Sauve only played in Friday's game. Lack and Climie both made visits to Vancouver to back up Cory Schneider, but neither missed a game for the Wolves. Chris Tanev finally got back into the lineup, and played all three games in the last week. Victor Oreskovich remains injured.
The lineup was juggled quite a bit between the three games, so lines were a complete mish-mash. Once the lineup settles again, we'll give another picture of who is playing with whom. The Wolves are currently scratching EIGHT (!) players per game.
Steve Reinprecht played his first game of the year versus Peoria, setting up two goals, including Mark Matheson's tip on a wonderful power-play slap pass.
The Hunting Ahead
The Wolves have another home game Sunday against Peoria. The Rivermen are 9-10-1-1, and the Wolves (9-6-0-2) are now tied, though the Wolves have four games in hand.
