Touchdown Total herbicide, now with patented Low Foam Technology, reduces foaming during mixing and tank-fill. Developed by formulation chemists at Syngenta, Low Foam Technology works by stabilizing anti-foaming agents throughout the glyphosate herbicide.
During tank-fill, retailers can expect less foam, which can slow down the spraying operation.
"Syngenta strives to deliver new technologies and product innovations to the crop protection market. The launch of the Low Foam Technology is an example of this continued commitment," explained Corey Huck, Touchdown brand manager for Syngenta.
Huck continued: "Retailers often are delayed while filling a mini-bulk tank because the tank fills with foam at about half full. Growers either stop in between sprays to allow the foam to settle or add their own anti-foam. By using Touchdown Total with Low Foam Technology, retailers can now cut their filling time and farmers can spray continuously without having to deal with product foaming."
Chuck Foresman, technical brand manager for Touchdown, explained how the technology works. "Low Foam Technology works by successfully preventing the separation of the anti-foam from the herbicide liquid. In a typical Touchdown formulation, glyphosate is prepared as a water-based solution while the anti-foam is made of silicone oil, which is insoluble in water and less dense than the glyphosate formulation.
"When the water-based Touchdown and oil are mixed together, the anti-foam droplets quickly rise to the top, separating and making anti-foam absent in the lower portions of bulk tanks. With the innovative Low Foam Technology, the anti-foam stays incorporated with the herbicide and rises very slowly through the herbicide, delaying separation for several months. The result is an improved Touchdown Total formulation with low foaming as well as easier mixing and handling."

Boulder, Colorad...
I've been going a little nuts for the Marie pattern lately – this is my second time using it and I have ideas for a few more! I used some satin that I found on sale, and only altered the pattern a little bit to make the waistband higher. It was my first time working with this kind of fabric, and it went pretty well except the hem stitching looks a bit lumpy – any tips?

I want to make this with a higher waistband like yours, did you just add a few centimetres to the top of the waistband pattern piece? It looks kind of shaped, did you add princess seams to the side of your waistband?
As for your hem stitching, I get that problem too, the only thing that I have found to solve the situation is to use bondaweb (like double sided interfacing) to hold the hem up instead of stitching it, it's a bit of a cheat but you get a nice, clean neat hem and its very quick Alternatively you can hand stitch it with a hidden hem stitch but that takes ages!!
Cheers, Candy

Hi Candy,
I actually just traced the waistband pattern piece, to keep the curved shape of it, and added about 1.5 inches to the top. The only other thing I changed was to bring in the waistline a bit, since this sits higher than the normal Marie pattern. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the tip about the hem – that's a really good idea!

Other Names:
- Confirmed Response Rate (CR or PR) Using RECIST [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months ]
Response and progression will be evaluated using the international RECIST guidelines (v1.1). Patients are evaluated every 8 weeks for disease status, with a subsequent 4 week assessment required to confirm a response.
Complete Response (CR) - All of the following must be true:
- Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions,
- Each target lesion and non-target lymph node must have reduction in short axis to <1.0 cm.
Partial Response (PR):
- At least a 30% decrease from the baseline measurements of the sum of the longest diameter for all target lesions plus the sum of the short axis of all the target lymph nodes at current evaluation.
- Persistence of one or more non-target lesions or non-target lymph nodes. The confirmed response rate is estimated as the number of patients having a CR or PR, divided by the number of eligible patients having at least one post-baseline assessment. The 95% confidence intervals provided using the method of Duffy and Santner.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the start of treatment to time of radiologic or clinical progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 18 months ]Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from the start of treatment to time of radiologic or clinical progression or death, whichever occurs first. PFS will be censored at most recent radiographic assessment date for patients remaining alive at the time of the statistical analysis. Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate the distribution of PFS.
- OS [ Time Frame: From the date of registration to the date of death or the date of last follow-up, assessed up to 18 months ]Overall survival (OS) is the duration of time from the date of registration/randomization to the date of death or the date of last follow-up for patients who remain alive or who are lost to follow-up at the time of the analysis. Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate the distribution of OS.

XTec Inc. of Miami has won a 10-year, $102.8 million task order contract from the Homeland Security Department for identity management support and services.
XTec will provide DHS with a full range of program management support, engineering services, as well as labor, materials, and equipment. The company will help to build, integrate, test, deploy, and operate the Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) Identity and Credential Management Solution.
Under the new contract, XTec will help with program-level planning to prepare for the modernization of the current HSPD-12 solution. It will conduct a seamless and expedited transition from the current solution to the new one. It will also support the design and testing of a secure and scalable identity and credential management solution that increases facility and data security, and protects personal data. XTec will also support the use of DHS' more than 405 existing enrollment and issuance workstations.
The Bush administration issued HSPD-12 in 2004 to create a mandatory, government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification. The IDs would be issued to federal employees and federal contractors for access to federally controlled facilities and networks. DHS is continuing to implement the Identity Management System, known as HSPD-12.
DHS first awarded the 10-year HSPD-12 IDIQ to HP Enterprise Services LLC in September, but afterward decided to reevaluate the decision.

The protein urine test measures the amount of proteins, such as albumin, found in a urine sample.
Albumin and protein can also be measured using a
Alternative Names
Urine protein; Albumin - urine; Urine albumin; Proteinuria; Albuminuria
How the Test is Performed
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color the dipstick changes to tells the provider the level of protein in your urine.
If needed, your doctor may ask you to
How to Prepare for the Test
Differentmedicines can change the result of this test.Before the test, tell yourhealth care provider which medications you are taking. Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your provider.
The following may also interfere with test results:
- Dye (contrast media) if you have a radiology scan within 3 days before the urine test
- Strenuous exercise
- Urinary tract infection
- Urine contaminated with fluids from the vagina
How the Test will Feel
The test only involves normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is most often done when your health care provider suspects you have kidney disease. It may be used as a screening test.
Normally, although a small amounts of proteinare in urine, they are not detected when a routine dipstick test is performed. This is because the kidney is supposed to keep most proteins in the blood.
If the kidney is diseased, proteins appear in the urine, even if blood protein levels are normal.
Normal Results
For a random urine sample, normal values are approximately 0 to 8 mg/dL.
For a 24-hour urine collection, the normal value is less than 80 mg per 24 hours.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Small increases in urine protein levels are usually not a cause for concern.
Larger amounts of protein in the urine may be due to:
- Heart failure
- Kidney problems, such as
kidney damage, diabetic kidney disease, kidney cysts
- Loss of body fluids (dehydration)
- Problems during pregnancy, such as seizures (
eclampsia) or high blood pressure caused by pregnancy ( preeclampsia)
- Urinary tract problems, such as bladder tumor or infection
There are no risks with this test.

|Double Take
|Episode No.
|Production No.
|Air Date
|June 12, 2007
|XANA attack method
|Taking control over a clone of Jeremie.
Double Take is the sixty-seventh episode of Code: LYOKO. It aired on June 12, 2007.
The episode opens with the team in Jeremie's room, Jeremie and Aelita are both working at the computer while Odd attempts to do one of his comedy acts to no success. Jeremie then reveals that he has spent the last few days reconstructing Lyoko and improving the digital equipment for the others. Jeremie then uses his voice synthesizer to call Principal Delmas (who is playing a computer game, with no success) to make up an excuse for William's absence at Kadic. Jeremie then goes to the factory to continue his work while the others go to lunch.
In the principal's office, Nichole Weber (the secretary) plays the computer game and easily completes it, making the principal slightly jealous when he gets a phone call from the real father of William, James Dunbar. When William's father explains that William has not been in contact recently, the principal gets touchy as he believes the caller is a practical joker and hangs up which causes Nicole to question whether the man on the phone was really a practical joker. In the lunch room the team has just finished lunch when they are approached by Jim and the principal who ask them about Williams's whereabouts and then threaten to call the police if William doesn't return by nightfall. The team the call an agitated Jeremie about the issue and he says that he will have to find a way to create a program to bring William home while avoiding missing gym class.
At the vending machines Odd gets a drink while Ulrich, Yumi and Aelita pass the time when Jeremie shows up in his gym outfit and begins to flirt with Yumi, when he says that every time he looks at Yumi he "doesn't feel like himself", the team instantly assume XANA is in on it and attack him. Yumi then gets a video call from the real Jeremie who explains that he has made a polymorphic clone of himself to take his place at the academy while he works at the factory. When Yumi points out the clone's behaviour, Jeremie assumes that it is some emerging qualities that he has no control over. Later in gym class, Jim attempts to humiliate Jeremie (the clone) by telling him to throw a shot put and everyone is amazed when he throws it high enough to go through one of the high storey windows of the science building and destroy an expensive model of a mirror telescope that Mrs Hertz was using in a class, Jim then immediately takes a shine to Jeremie stating that he would be taking part in all the school's athletic competitions.
At the factory, Jeremie continues working on the program when he notices that XANA has sent William and a small set of Tarantula's to the tower that he had activated to create his clone. William began to use his own powers to weaken the tower's defences to allow XANA to activate it in red. Jeremie calls the team about the problem and tells them that he can channel energy from Carthage to strengthen the tower. William then succeeds and XANA activates the tower, the clone (who is holding a javelin) suddenly turns and aims it at Ulrich however Jeremie then activates his program, increasing the towers resistance and Jeremie regains control of the tower. The clone returns to its usual state and throws the javelin an extreme length which makes Jim even happier. As Odd, Ulrich and Aelita attempt to leave for the factory, Odd and Ulrich are called by Jim to have a race against the clone. As the race begins, XANA regains control of the tower, causing the clone to stop and attack Odd, Jeremie quickly manages to get the tower back and Odd pushes the clone away causing Jim to tell Odd off for "roughing up his champion" and gets Odd, Ulrich and Aelita to take the clone to the infirmary. Ulrich and Aelita then decide to head for the factory while Odd watches the clone.
Jeremie sends Yumi an SOS and she leaves Mrs Hertz's class (Mrs Hertz still looking for pieces of the broken telescope). Odd puts the clone inside a closed and blocks the door with a set of lockers. At the factory, Ulrich, Aelita and Yumi reach the scanner room and are virtualized onto Lyoko's desert. The three now see their new outfits, Ulrich's samurai outfit being replaced by a yellow and brown, formfitting body suit, with twin sabres. Aelita with a formfitting pink and silver suit and miniskirt and Yumi with a formfitting magenta suit and yellow ribbon. Jeremie materializes their vehicles and they race towards where the crater that contains the tower is located, William spots them and the tower is activated again by XANA, William then goes with his tarantula's ready to attack. Ulrich charges his Overbike at one of the tarantula's and jumps, causing it to knock one of the tarantula's into the craters where it lands on a path that circles its edge. Meanwhile at Kadic, Odd sees that the clone is now attempting to break through the lockers, he tries to prevent it however the clone breaks through and just as Odd is about to defend himself, the principal shows up and tells them off for fighting however the clone knock the principal out with electricity and then runs out the door with incredible speed leaving Odd to try and catch him.
While Ulrich has a sword duel with William, the two remaining tarantula's fire at Aelita and Yumi on the Overwing, hitting them and causing them to fall towards the digital sea. As they fall Aelita accidently wipes her hand across a bracelet on her wrist causing a pair of pink wings to suddenly expand from her back, when she questions this Jeremie says there were a little surprise that he had added. Aelita then flies down and saves Yumi and lands on the crater path. At the factory, the clone arrives and Jeremie (warned by Odd) uses a program to seal the lab doors to prevent the clone from entering. Yumi meanwhile manages to destroy the tarantula that Ulrich had knocked into the crater. Ulrich is still battling William, he uses his Triplicate to surround him however William somehow detects which was the real Ulrich and slashes him, causing his clones to vanish. At the factory, the clone discovers the locked doors and begins to try and force them open with electricity.
Aelita flies high above the crater and fires energy fields at the two remaining tarantula's managing to destroy one. William appears impressed with Aelita's new ability and commands a Tarantula to jump on her, it misses and lands on the platform next to the tower in the centre of the crater. The cone then breaks through the doors and is about to attack Jeremie when Odd jumps down from the ceiling entrance with a broom handle attacking him however the clone sends Odd flying into the computer causing it damage, the clone then goes on to attack Jeremie. Meanwhile Aelita manages to destroy the last tarantula, she enters the tower and inputs CODE:LYOKO, causing the clone to vanish. As Yumi watches on William jumps down behind her and puts the point of his sword to her throat, pushing her to the edge of the pathway. Jeremie attempts to rematerialize her however the computer is damaged after Odd struck it. Odd then heads for the scanner room. William fondly flirts with Yumi and then pushes her off the pathway, Yumi however grabs him and pulls him down with her and the both plummet towards the digital sea. Odd then flies in and catches Yumi on his Overboard, the two then watch William vanish into the Digital Sea. Odd then ask about his new outfit (now a formfitting purple suit with white stripes and chrome ears) before piloting the overboard back onto the plateau. Jeremie then launches a return in time. In the lab, the team conclude that their only choice to get the principal off their case was to create a digital clone of William to take the real ones place at the academy. The team put the plan into action and watch its progress, the principal comes over and speaks to the clone who answers rather dim-wittedly however the principal seems satisfied however Odd claims that the team was not out of the woods yet and the episode closes.
- This was the first and only time Triplicate is used during season 4
- This episode introduces Team Lyoko's Season 4 Lyoko Outfits.
- William didn't make his sword disappear at all in this episode.

We take winter seriously here in the Upper Midwest. Very seriously. Overnight lows this winter were anywhere from the 15- to 30-below-zero area. Daytime highs don't create a lot of melting. So how does a person stay comfortable in weather like this if, let's say, you have to work outside?
Two words.
Goat socks.
More specifically, we're talking about socks made from the mohair of an Angora goat. Not just any goat and not just any sock, though. You want warmth, you go with Thermohair socks from Austin's Mohair in Harmony, Minnesota.
I first learned about goat socks at least seven years ago. They are incredibly warm, incredibly comfortable, and they don't make my feet sweat like some heavy-duty socks I've worn. Thirty-six years as a diabetic has given me the kind of circulation in my extremities that makes me a bit more sensitive about temperature extremes. Nothing maintains warmth in my feet like goat socks. They're about $25 to $30 a pair, but I feel they're worth it.
The product alone would be okay. The real bonus comes when you make the trip to Harmony to get your goat, as it were. Ada Austin is the sweet little old lady behind the goat farm and the goat products. She is a first-rate character. The first thing that will catch your attention when you drive into Ada's yard is her color preference. There is a strong purple flavor . . . everywhere. There is the purple house, the purple sheds, the purple lawn furniture, the purple tractor. Even Barney would think Ada may have gone a little overboard. But Ada will be the first one to tell you that when you get old, it's perfectly acceptable for a woman to make a purple statement. Ada's statement is mighty, mighty bold.
So I got myself some goat socks years ago and loved them. Ever since then, I have been getting other people clued in to the goat sock phenomenon. One of those people is familiar to a fairly wide audience in Iowa. He's Mark Pearson, the host of Iowa Public Television's weekly journal of rural America, "Market to Market." It's a show I've watched since I was a little kid. Mark has been the host since 1991. He also is a co-host of the daily noon farm show on a group of radio stations across Iowa called "The Big Show."
I've known Mark for several years. So last fall when he said something on his program about cold weather and how he had to do chores at his farm in the freezing cold, I went to Harmony and got a couple pairs of goat socks for him. Mark got his socks around Thanksgiving and absolutely loved them. He became a Goat Disciple.
When it was time for some holiday shopping, I stopped by Ada's store and invested in several more pairs of goat socks. Two pairs went to Mark's broadcast partners on "The Big Show." Five other pairs went to a group of people at WCCO I know, with the idea being that they'd have them in time for their annual ice fishing trip in early January. Still other pairs went to other recipients.
A couple months later on a Thursday morning around 10:30, my phone rang. I decided to take the call.
Hello, this is Jeff.
"Jeff, this is Mark Pearson."
Hey, Mark.
"Jeff, Bob and Ken got their goat socks and they absolutely LOVE THEM! We want to have you on the show today to talk about them. We'll probably have you on around 12:40 or so. Can I call you at this number?"
Yeah, that will work.
"Okay. You're not going to be busy selling any of that high-priced hay today, are you? We want to talk about that, too."
The live interview went quite well. They had been discussing Two Guys Farming earlier in the show and specifically spent some time on my job title and the corporate slogan, which they loved. By the time they got me on the air, the mood was light, to put it mildly. Mark mentioned how the socks can be run through a washing machine, but cannot be dried in a dryer. They need to be hung up to dry or else they will shrink, big-time. Just before everything was over, he mentioned how he had one pair of non-goat socks several years ago he wore for four months straight without washing them. They kept his feet warm, but they smelled kind of funky. The closing music was starting to play, so I remembered Jerry Seinfeld's rule about leaving on a high note as I left them with the following comment: "Mark, that may have been what was generating the heat for you!"
Later that afternoon, Ada sent me an e-mail. Within two or three hours of the goat sock discussion on "The Big Show" (where we didn't even get a chance to mention the Web site or the phone number for Ada's store), her phone went nuts. She had moved a ton of goat socks in that time frame! She was beyond ecstatic.
If you're good to me, I'll be good to you . . . in spades. That's how it works in my world.
When I told Ada about all the other places I had sent goat socks, and the responses they had generated thus far, she replied again with equal amazement: "I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FARMER. WHO ON EARTH ARE YOU? You have more connections than the president!"
Maybe, but I wouldn't want his job.
What, and give up show business?

Washington: US President Barack Obama would veto any Congressional extension of tax cut on the rich, the White House has said.
"The President would veto, as he has said and I and others have said for quite some time, any bill that extends the Bush-era tax cuts for the top two per cent of wage earners in this country, of earners in this country," the White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters at a news conference yesterday.
Carney`s remarks came moments after Obama made his maiden public appearance at the White House after his re-election and called for increasing the tax on the rich while asserting that he would not let any tax increase on the middle class.
"What the President made clear again today and has said for quite some time is that he would sign, right now, the bill that passed the Senate that extends tax cuts for 98 per cent of the American people," Carney said.
"This is a simple and easy way to address a large chunk of the uncertainty created by the so-called fiscal cliff, for those who don`t engage in Beltway parlance -- by the series of deadlines that include expiration of these tax cuts that would cause uncertainty and damage to the economy if they?re not dealt with," he said.
Extending those tax cuts for 98 per cent of the American people would deal with more than half, in dollar terms, of the impact caused by the fiscal cliff, he said.
"There are other challenges that we would need to address,
including the sequester. But Congress ought to, the House ought to pass those tax cuts right away because it would send a tremendous positive signal to the American people that in the wake of this election we can, at the very least, come together and convert into law a bill that everyone agrees should become law -- Republicans and Democrats alike, the President included. And we will then continue to work on those issues where we have broader disagreement," he said.
Next week, Obama has invited leaders of Congress here to the White House. He would also be meeting business leaders and labour leaders and others to get their input and ideas about how to move forward.
"He does have his own very specific plan that reduces the deficit by USD4 trillion, that does it in a balanced way, that ensures that we can continue to invest in education and infrastructure, and research and development of the elements that are so key to sustained economic growth, but that he`s not wedded to every detail of that plan, he said.
Carney said Obama understands that the message of the election was that the American people want action, not political posturing and argument.
"They want action. There really is, in the bill that passed the Senate, an opportunity to do some very good work for the American people, very good work for the American economy right away to send a signal that cooperation and compromise is possible," he said.

I'm going to have a bit of a whinge because I don't understand the logic behind council laws on the Sunshine Coast. Why are there specified, tiny, dog-friendly, off-leash bits of beach? Why aren't all beaches open to off-leash, well socialised dogs? Fair enough, don't allow them in the flags where people congregate to swim and sunbathe but what's the harm in having a well socialised, well-behaved, off-leash dog anywhere else? Where I live there's a stretch of beach that is regularly empty and stretches from Marcoola to Yaroomba and beyond. On any given weekday you can count the number of people on this stretch of beach on your fingers. And yet dogs are not welcome on it off leash except for a 100m stretch between the hours of 5am and 8am and 5pm and 8pm. That means that I can't run my dog during the day unless I drive somewhere else. Which brings me to my next point in how farcical the council is.
It's not environmentally friendly. How can it be beneficial for me to have to get in my car and drive a minimum of 6km to Coolum in order to run my dog off-leash? So my car is outputting carbon dioxide and using up fuel reserves just because some idiot at the council sitting behind his desk doesn't know the first thing about the real world. It just doesn't add up. And he/she probably can't either.
All the arguments they throw at you are pathetic. It's to protect people from aggressive dogs they say. Well how does that work then? Shouldn't the council be doing something about the people who have made their dogs aggressive? Take their dogs away from them and send the dogs to rehabilitation whilst fining the scum bags. It's virtually never too late to rehabilitate a dog. You only have to watch Cesar Millan to realise that. And what's to stop people bringing aggressive dogs to a designated off-leash area anyway? And why should everybody else with well socialised dogs be treated the same as if their dogs are aggressive? That's guilty until proven innocent. So applying those standards to humans, that means every person everywhere should be treated as a criminal and put in prison just in case.

Three decades of growth in America's prison population has brought the nation to a sobering threshold: one in every 100 adults in the United States is now confined behind bars. The total prison population is now 2.3 million, the highest number in the world, followed by the much more populous nation of China with 1.5 million. The cost of maintaining the US prison system topped $49 billion in 2007, up from $12 billion in 1987. The figures speak for themselves. And considering the 80 percent recidivism rate, there is desperate need for a workable technology that delivers true and lasting rehabilitation of criminals who can become productive members of society.

I've never taken the time to write about a Saturday Night Live sketch. Commenting about parody seems like an exercise in preposterous meta-analysis. But reader, I cannot lie. SNL's Homeland spoof has pretty much ruined the show for me.
It's possible that the sketch just happened to coincide with a downturn in the show's believability and quality, but with every passing episode, the parody forces me to question whether the show was ever that good.
Few would ever have described the show as a soap opera, but as the sketch perfectly conveyed, maybe that's what Homeland is, and if not, it's certainly heading that direction, as it spends more and more time on Brody and Carrie's "romance" ("It's ok! It doesn't have to make sense! She's bipolar"). As a soap opera, it utterly fails, covering up its inability to craft convincing relationships in cloaks and daggers.
In season one, the relationship between Brody and Carrie made a most peculiar sense, as it was entirely premised on discovery. But now there's at least one scene a week which conveys how strongly Carrie wants Brody to leave his family, of how she's willing to compromise missions to save him, of how her love saves him from the edge (lately, we're getting all three of these in every episode).
This has the double effect of reducing the stakes of the ongoing terror plot (it's ok! Love will save us all!) and of infantilizing the moral questions that plague Brody.
I'm especially concerned after the twist reveal that Estes ordered Quinn to murder Brody after they stopped the terror plot. The preview indicated that Saul would resolve the issue with thoughtful machinations, but I predict a mess of hysteria and chin-quivering.
If Homeland dials up the emotions to 11 in every single episode, it risks distracting the viewer from what actually made it interesting - how circumstances warp our ideas of morality, and how that mutation affects not just our own lives, but the lives of those around us.

What is Bier Judaica?
Bier Judaica is an Israeli company producing the highest end silver Judaica available in the market. The family owned business was founded by Jizchak Bier after his graduation from the Bezalel Academy of Art. Over fifty years ago Bier set up his workshop is Jerusalem realizing the potential of his exceptional abilities in working with silver.
He realized as the Holocaust ended, that the world's Jewish community suddenly lacked in talented silver craftsmen, but that demand remained high and was even growing as Jews began migrating back to the land of Israel. Bier would later win a special award for one of his hand-made designs and there-after made this fine Judaica his life's work. Now his sons Meir and Mordechai have learned the trade. They work with their father and employ the best silver smiths to ensure the hand-made production of the highest quality of silver Judaica.
All products that ship out of the Bier Enterprises workshop in Jerusalem are made of sterling silver of the highest quality. This eloquent material instantly made Bier Enterprises a classic in the Judaica market and for good reason.
Silver means so much more in Jewish history, culture, and tradition than just a fancy material with which to decorate. In the times of the Diaspora and through oppression in Europe and Russia, Jews were often forced to move on short notice to foreign lands. Often the only possessions they took with them were bare necessities and their most precious items. These items were mostly family heirlooms of religious significance that were famously made of silver. In this way, some of these pieces served a greater purpose than honoring religious ceremonies because of their great worth. In fact, many stories relate how a fairly heirloom of silver saved lives as a clever bribe to the Nazis.
The designs and decoration of Bier Judaica are all kept along the basic line of elegance to complement the beautiful silver. Most of these pieces are unique for their shape more than any adornment or visual imagery. These shapes are always modern and unique, but at the same time reach back through Jewish history to bring forth the traditional beauty of silver Judaica. The most common imagery that is displayed on some Bier products are artistic views of Jerusalem.

Why Focus On The U.S. Corn Crop?
There has been considerable conversation in the mass media concerning the corn crop and prices. Many agricultural economists believe commodity supply and demand affect prices. For generations farmers have focused on corn as one of the most significant farm commodities in the U.S. Farmers used to follow corn markets primarily because of the crop's value for feeding livestock and people. More recently the mass media has also focused on corn as a significant commodity to be aware of. One reason for this more recent attention is the vast amount of energy that is being produced using corn as the main ingredient.
Society has just begun to tap new renewable sources of energy from agriculture and forestlands on a commercial scale that impacts energy markets. Among these sources are biofuels, a small but important component of current fuel consumption in the U.S. transport sector. In 2012, biofuels accounted for roughly 7 percent of total transport fuel consumption, or 13.8 billion gallons. Ethanol, made mostly from corn starch, is by far the most significant biofuel in the United States, accounting for 94 percent of all biofuel production in 2012. Most of the remainder is biodiesel, which is made from vegetable oils (chiefly soybean oil) as well as animal fats, waste oils and greases.
In 1993, the U.S. produced roughly 1 billion gallons of corn ethanol had been produced using 5percentofa9millionbushels corn supply. By 2012, roughly 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol using 42 percent of a 12 million bushels corn supply. In the 20 years of growing ethanol production, the U.S. has increased the corn harvest by 33 percent. This increase in corn production likely would not have occurred without the simultaneous increasing demand for energy production.
The current amount of corn used for energy production is approximately equal to the amount used for animal feed and human food. Some people worry about the amount of corn being utilized for energy production. Their main concern seems to be the loss of nutrients that could be used to feed livestock that in turn feed humans. It should be noted all of the 42 percent of the corn harvest utilized for ethanol is not lost to the food chain. Fully one-third of the volume of corn that goes into ethanol production returns as dried distillers grain (DDGS), which is an excellent feed source for livestock and often used in many livestock rations. The remaining one-third of the corn input comes back to us as CO2. This gas has many uses that include carbonating soft drinks, industrial cooling and freezing, pulmonary testing, welding, paper and chemical production, and greenhouse growing of crops.
Some conversion factors that may help to understand and discuss corn energy production include:
1 bushel of corn yields 2.7 gallons of ethanol
1 bushel of corn yields 17.5 pounds of DDGS
1 barrel = 42 gallons
1 gallon of ethanol contains the same energy as 0.66 gallons of gasoline
1 gasoline-equivalent gallon of ethanol = 1.33 gallons of ethanol
As world population continues to expand there are more hungry people to feed. In order to meet the growing demand for energy, and feed ourselves a next generation of bioenergy technology is evolving.
This technology does not use food grade materials to generate liquid fuels. It uses cellulose materials that do not directly compete with feeding animals or humans. Roughly 60 million gallons of production capacity exists today for this next generation of biofuel production technology.
Providing adequate nutrition for everyone and also providing adequate energy can be a challenge.
Meeting this challenge will involve us all. For today, many local farmers are doing their part to ensure current challenges are being addressed as a positive future is pursued that includes meeting both food and energy needs.

It's been a bumpy week for RIM. On Sunday, the Canadian smartphone maker's co-CEOs tried their best to quietly resign and hand over the CEO position to their former Chief Operating Officer, Thorsten Heins. For months, investors and journalists have been calling for Research in Motion's co-CEOs, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis — who have each taken turns running the company since it was founded in 1991 — to step down. Until Sunday, they showed no signs of doing so.
Worse, though RIM's smartphone market share has been steadily dropping in the months since the company's BlackBerry 7 device lineup launched (Sept. 2011), new CEO Thorsten Heins repeatedly asserted in multiple interviews that RIM has no real structural problems, and that he doesn't plan to shake the company up much aside from hiring a new marketing officer. Tech journalists, analysts, and bloggers have been chattering like crazy, and no one seems fond of the new CEO. From a distance, he appears to be a Yes man, planted at the top to carry out already established plans.
So what's going on here? Is Thorsten Heins actually in charge of RIM? More importantly, does the company need a huge structural and strategic overhaul, or is it mainly an image problem? Has RIM already made the changes and laid out the plan that it needs to succeed, or is it too little, too late?
Giving up the two-seated throne
Mike Lazaridis founded RIM in 1984 and Jim Balsillie a self-described jock, joined him as co-CEO in 1991. The unique dual-power arrangement had Balsillie tackling the business side of RIM and Lazaridis focusing mostly on the products and technology. For many years, it worked, but since the debut of the iPhone, two CEOs seem to be proving worse than one.
RIM has had a rough few years. The company has gone from being the biggest smartphone maker in the United States (with a massive 80 percent market share on Verizon) to a niche player that seems unable to win over new customers as the market shifts toward touch-based operating systems thanks to the massive success of the iPhone, which debuted in 2007. In 2008, RIM attempted to counter the iPhone with the Storm, its first touch-based BlackBerry, but the device was a failure. After that, the company retreated back to its comfortable, keyboarded lineup of BlackBerry Curves and Pearls. The co-CEOs many times stated that RIM's focus on QWERTY keyboards was one of its best differentiating features. They've introduced more touch-based BlackBerry phones, but none have succeeded in redefining the brand. And so, a couple years ago the CEOs brushed the U.S. under the rug and focused on the international market.
"The dilemma is that the U.S. went down the high-end smartphone market and the international market grew greatly," Balsillie said in an interview. "So the question is where you put your resources? We couldn't do both. We were explosive growth internationally. Do we leverage core franchise and go international, or do we move higher end for the U.S. market?"
The company made the wrong choice. By focusing on the international market, it succeeded in boosting short-term profits, but the United States turned out to be a trend setter for the rest of the world, which has now begun following in its footsteps, leaving Nokia-like feature phones and BlackBerry devices for touchscreen phones running Android and iOS. They have become so popular that users began demanding to use them at work, carving into RIM's strongest asset: businesses.
The year of hell
2011 proved to be a fascinating year for RIM. The company continued to churn out record revenues from overseas, but its position in the US market began fading fast. From October to December alone, RIM's market share dropped from 7.7 percent to 4.5 percent due to explosive sales of competing devices. The company's share of the world smartphone market isn't better, having dropped to 11 percent in the third quarter of 2011 from 19 percent in mid 2010. The Canadian company's stock has followed the same downward arrow. Between June 2008 (when the iPhone 3G came out) and June 2011, RIM's shareholders lost nearly $70 billion, or 82 percent of the smartphone maker's value. That same month, RIM also laid off more than 2,000 employees.
2011 was also home to two failed product launches: BlackBerry 7 and the PlayBook.
PlayBook: In April, the co-CEOs entered the blossoming tablet market with the BlackBerry PlayBook, a 7-inch tablet running a completely new operating system based on QNX, an OS that RIM purchased a couple years earlier. In an interview in Dec. 2010, Lazaridis spilled that the PlayBook was a sign of things to come from RIM and that future phones would be dual-core and run QNX as well. (These new phones later came to be known as BBX, but due to legal issues it will now be called BlackBerry 10.) This sounds grand and good, except that the launch of the PlayBook was a bit of a disaster.
When the PlayBook launched, it was clearly a nice-looking piece of hardware released before it was complete. The PlayBook software had huge bugs that required a number of bi-weekly updates to fix. Both businesses and mainstream consumers were confused about what it brought to the table. Did we mention that it lacking common apps like integrated email and calendar support? It also had next to no viable apps in its app store, and RIM's included apps for things like podcasting were woefully broken or incomplete. We were very optimistic in our review of the PlayBook, but RIM also beat down our expectations throughout 2011, promising email, calendar, and Android app support by summer and not delivering it until…well…never. At least, not yet. These updates are supposedly coming next month (Feb. 2012).
RIM expected the PlayBook to be such a success that it manufactured 2 million of the tablets. Due to lack of demand, it has still only sold about half of its inventory, even after several price cuts, and had to write off $500 million due to the unsold tablets. Now RIM is distributing PlayBooks to developers who wish to work on the upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform.
BlackBerry 7: The second big failure of 2011 was the launch of the BlackBerry 7 platform and devices. While these devices did not have the problems of the PlayBook, they did not help RIM to recapture any momentum. Following the launch of several new BlackBerry Bold, Curve, and Torch phones, RIM's market share began to dwindle faster than ever. Several BB 7 devices featured touchscreens, but the phones featured no marked improvement in user interface, features, or processing power. They looked a bit slicker, but RIM seemed to be mostly churning out established designs with little innovation. As a result, the company's smartphone market share fell dramatically over the holidays as the iPhone and Android both posted record sales in late 2011. RIM became almost a complete non-player in the market, with a market share so low that Windows Phone now has a good shot at becoming the number three smartphone OS in 2012 (though Microsoft definitely has its work cut out).

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!
February is American Heart Awareness month, making it the perfect time to not only think about your heart but to actually make a commitment to taking care of it!
Our family has been taking lots of steps toward a healthier lifestyle this year by making daily exercise a priority and by continuing to incorporate healthier versions of our favorite foods into our everyday diets, such as these heart healthy Apple Oat Bran Muffins.
Shhhh, don't tell my kids they're actually good for them — they've been devouring them as fast as I can make them!
Reebok recently sent me a couple of accessory products that are designed to help keep your heart healthy. While you don't necessarily need a lot of gadgets in order to get fit, they can be a useful motivational tool.
I'm sure most of you have heard that women should target taking at least 10,000 steps per day to reduce your risk for disease and help you lead a longer, healthier life. Since I spend a lot of time sitting at my computer, I wasn't too surprised to see that I'm barely hitting that target, but without the Reebok inColor Digital Pedometer, I would not be so keenly aware of this fact.
The inColor Digital Pedometer was super simple to set up, and then I just clipped it on the waistband of my pants to track my daily steps. I like that I can customize the display color to my mood, and the pace assist feature is very helpful for maintaining my pace goal when I'm working out.
I also had the opportunity to try out the Reebok inTouch Heart Rate Monitor, and I truly love this item! It looks like a simple watch, but it has tons of features like speed, distance, and step tracking, a calorie burn monitor, and a heart rate monitor (no chest strap required!) that's activated with a simple touch of your finger to the silver band running around the face of the watch.
The most useful feature for me, however, is the fit zone tracking. Until I started wearing the Reebok Heart Rate Monitor during my workouts, I didn't realize that some of my workouts weren't pushing me into my fit zone, which is the optimum heart rate for my height and weight for burning calories. Based on this information, I was able to increase the intensity of my workouts to get more health benefits out of them.

I am considering using stepper motors as I feel they may also work, id be grateful if someone could inform me of a method for changing a stepper motor control system to a servo control system via a black box of some sort. I need to change this from a stepper to a servo due to the type of reciever and controller I am using to move the robot. thanks
I suggested converting the servo to continuous rotation, not to modify it's gear ratio.
This modification will allow the servo to produce the same torque and at the same speed that it was originally designed and built to.
The modification will allow it to move it's output shaft greater than the common 180 degrees.
Slow is relative. Consider the life span of a Pansy compared to an Oak Tree.
The OP has not replied with a time constraint yet.He hasn't provided details with the required height to lift the load either, which will affect time to lift.
