It wasn't important how any of the nine men on the sixth annual Hunters Helping Hunters event reached their degree of disability. The only thing that mattered was that the hunters enjoyed a weekend in the North Florida woods hunting deer and enjoying the great outdoors.
December 21 has always been special to me as that is the birth date of my daddy, Henry William Rollins Sr.
The Dec. 21, 1939 headline on the front page of the Times read, "May one unavoidable tragedy help us avoid more tragedies." A week before this article was printed, 7-year-old Eugene Blackburn was hit and killed after darting out in front of an oncoming car on King Street.
Margaret Bredsher can't explain why she started collecting angels. But they offer her a certain comfort level when she feels a little down from the pressures of life. Somehow, when she looks around her home and sees an angel in almost every corner, she said she feel's "God's protection."
Bredsher doesn't know exactly how many angels she owns. The number, she guessed, tops 400. While she has some on display throughout her Key Street home year round during Christmas, all them are on display.
Seventy-five-year-old Gadsden County resident Emily Rowan was the victim of robbery and battery on an elderly person inside the Winn-Dixie store on West Jefferson Street as she shopped for a greeting card 2 days before Christmas.
A 16-year-old juvenile was arrested at nearby Arbor Crest Apartments shortly after the incident where he was also charged with battery on a law enforcement officer.
He was later released to his mother for home supervision.
Gadsden County Commissioner Sherrie Taylor will not be graduating from a voluntary county commissioner certification program with her class in June during the Florida Association of Counties annual conference.
Back in 1959, most people delivered babies at home. The only time a woman went to the hospital was when complications were expected. Otherwise, they had children at home surrounded by family and friends and the trusted community midwife.
Sometimes, laughed former midwife Eliza Smith as she sat in her Dodger Ball Park Road home recalling the nearly 30 years she delivered babies in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, there were so many people in the house she had to insist they go into the yard.
Lester Muralles, commercial agriculture agent assigned to Gadsden County by Florida A & M University, says local commercial farmers are prepared for the freezing temperatures that are expected to last throughout the week. While most large farmers don't have plants in the ground at this time, nursery growers and satsuma growers are ready.
New Year's Eve was uneventful in Gadsden County, according to the law enforcement personnel who patrolled the streets.
"Things were pretty slow and that was surprising," said Maj. Shawn Wood of the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office.
Expecting heavy traffic, intoxicated revelers and noisy fireworks, a task force made up of officers from the Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, and the Greensboro, Gretna and Chattahoochee police departments hit the streets and rural roads of Gadsden County around 7 p.m.
The juvenile accused of robbing and kicking 75-year-old Emily Rowan as she shopped for greeting cards in Winn-Dixie on Dec. 23 is behind bars.
While he has a $75,000 bond on the charges of robbery, battery on the elderly and battery on a law enforcement officer, he will not be released from jail.
"Even if he could come up with the $75,000 bond, he will not be released because he violated probation on a burglary charge on Hamilton Street a month or so before the Dec. 23 incident," said Sgt. Robert Mixon of the Quincy Police Department.
Christmas came early for the city of Quincy when Bradley Joyner of Pat Thomas & Associates presented a check for $19,446 during the Dec. 22 commission meeting. The funds were from a gifting plan set up in the Dividend Check Florida Fund.
The city has gotten checks in the past from the fund but this is the largest amount the city has received.

Of all the high school sports we cover here at The Daily News, basketball is among my favorite.
Of all the high school sports we cover here at The Daily News, basketball is among my favorite.
While having never actually played the sport, minus a couple of years in recreation, there�s just something enjoyable about covering local hoops, whether a game involves two ranked teams in a conference showdown or one of those grueling 30-29 contests that features an overabundance of fouls.
I think it�s this way because, with so many games, it allows me to get to know the coaches and players a little more, compared to other sports. Heck, coaches will sometimes come to the scorers table during a game to a chat for a brief moment.
Still, there needs to be changes made to high school basketball in order to improve the product. I doubt these changes will be implemented, given some would require new equipment, a remodeled court or an additional person on the scorers table, but it�s fun to imagine what the sport would be like if they were incorporated.
And I�m not the only one who thinks some changes would do the game good. Coaches Tony Marshburn of Northside and White Oak�s Chris Grimes also believe some revamped rules could make the game better.
Extend the arc
The 3-point line in high school basketball is 19 feet, 9 inches, which is too short and creates a bad habit of some players thinking they have good shooting range. How often do you see some 5-foot-nothing kid come off the bench and start throwing up 3-pointers as if his life depended on it?
The 3-point shot is an art, not something each player should be wanting to shoot in games.
Players these days are making 3-pointers as easy as layups and it appears as if they make them more than free throws � although poor foul shooting is a different topic for a different time.
An extended arc would promote better fundamentals in dribbling and driving to the basket with an attempt to draw a foul.
Still, Marshburn is �content� with the 3-point line distance.
�Where it is now you still can make it part of the offense,� he said. �If you get it too far out, some coaches are going to struggle with the offense and I like having the 3-point line a part of the offense.�
Marshburn also raised a question of whether an extended line would be implemented for both the boys and girls.
�What you have to keep in mind in high school is you have girls and guys playing on the same floor and I don�t know if girls would be strong enough (for the longer 3-point shot). Some girls would,� Marshburn said. �If we moved it back, the girls would have to play by the same line, where in college guys may have one gym and the girls have another gym.�
Restricted area
With the 3-point line extended, which would force more dribble penetration, I would also put a restricted area under the basket for the purpose of preventing defensive players from camping down low to draw an offensive foul.
The charge/offensive foul is the most overly called rule in high school and college basketball. Players are often called for an offensive foul simply because gravity and their momentum after a layup forces them back down to earth and they collide with a defender.
It would certainly limit the number of times centers take charges against smaller guards when they should actually try to block a shot.
�It would be clear-cut for the officials,� Grimes said. �It takes the judgment out of the officials on whether it is a block or a charge.�
Marshburn agreed that a restricted area � which the NBA and college basketball already have � would help the officials.
�It�s an easier call for them,� he said. �It also helps the defenders because it would give them a sense of awareness.�
Shot clock
A shot clock by far is what is missing in prep basketball.
A shot clock of 35 or 40 seconds would speed games up and prevent some teams from holding the ball in an effort to slow fast-pace teams down.
Grimes disagreed, saying �logistics� would make it difficult to have a shot clock mainly because of the number of people that need to be trained to operate the technology. Marshburn agreed with Grimes on that, but added he would still like have a 35-second shot clock.
�I feel it may better prepare our guys for the next level,� he said. �There�s still plenty of times for strategy.�
The only states with a shot clock are California, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Dakota, South Dekota and Washington.
Tourney time
Unlike in college where a conference tournament champion earns an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, prep hoops tournaments in the state only benefit the teams seeded third or lower.
Under the current system, if a team besides the first or second seeds wins its league tourney, it automatically earns its conference�s second seed for the NCHSAA playoffs.
Keep that rule. It gives teams one more chance to qualify for the playoffs or better their postseason position. Plus, conference tournaments are exciting and, as Marshburn told me years ago, �for many kids, this is their ACC tournament.�
Still, incentives need to be made for the top two seeds to win their league tourney. If a regular-season conference champion wins the tournament, it should keep its top seed for the playoffs. However, if the second seed wins, it should be No. 1 for the playoffs.
�I kind of agree that for the one and two, there�s no incentative to win it,� Marshburn said. �You are not going to improve your seeding. But in the same breath, I�ve always believed the champion is your regular-season champion.�
Grimes, though, would make more adjustments to league tourneys.
�I�m also in favor of it being played at a neutral site. Or at least the semifinals and finals,� he said. �The neutral site would be rotated among conference schools.�
4-game nightmare
Coaches and athletic directors are finding nights longer and longer since most area schools have four games in one night � JV girls, JV boys, varsity girls and varsity boys.
Our three local conferences � the Coastal 3-A and the East Central 2-A � have different ideas on how to address these issues.
The Coastal Conference�s JV games run shorter as quarters are only six minutes long, compared to seven minutes in the ECC. The CPC has eight minute quarters.
Much has been said about the idea of moving JV games to different sites or to different days than varsity, which would be good, although with today�s gas prices, schools officials would likely nix that idea.
Marshburn said in an ideal world each school would have separate courts for varsity and JV, which would allow the varsity games to actually start on time.
�I know I�m speaking about the impossible with the economy and budget,� he said. �There�s been so many ways tried and I really don�t know the best way. I know playing four games on Tuesday night is tough on the kids. If you have one overtime game, it makes for a real long night.�
A long night, indeed, not just for players and coaches but for everyone else involved.
�It�s brutal on everybody, parents, kids, the press and coaches,� Grimes said. �I�ve heard of other conferences maybe doing JV on Monday and varsity on Tuesday or JV at one site and varsity at the opposite.�
Both Marshburn and Grimes had other changes they would make, not just about the game itself, but also in regards to the sport�s landscape, locally and beyond.
The two coaches believe the basketball playoff format needs to be similar to football, where the NCHSAA subdivides the four classifications and awards eight state champions.
�Off the cuff, I think making three classifications and within the three classifications, do what football does and subdivide the playoffs,� Grimes said. �From an enrollment standpoint, they (schools) are a little closer together.�
And as for Marshburn?
�If football is going to get two state champions (from each class), I feel basketball needs to get the same thing,� said Marshburn, who has also helped coached football at Northside. �I don�t understand why football is the only sport that crowns two state champions.�
One thing Marshburn would change is the numbers of fouls players can have before disqualification. A player is disqualified with five fouls.
�I would go to six fouls,� Marshburn said.

Pitch for Animal Clinic at Citizens Meeting
Molly Miosek, known in Montauk as Dr. Molly, the only veterinarian in the hamlet, visited the Montauk Citizens Advisory Committee on Monday with her attorney, Richard Hammer, and Drew Bennett, a consulting engineer, to float an idea she has for opening an animal clinic in Montauk on property she already owns with her partner, Rhett Beckmann, on Essex Street behind Montauk Fuels.
Dr. Miosek now operates from a mobile van parked on her property elsewhere in the hamlet and has hours only three days a week. The site is zoned for commercial business and would require a zone change to commercial-industrial business for the clinic to be allowed, her attorney said, but changing the zone for just that lot would constitute spot zoning, which is illegal. And even with a zone change, Dr. Miosek's attorney said she would still need a special permit for an animal clinic.
The only commercial-industrial zones in the hamlet are on Industrial Road, an area near North Shore Road, and near the Montauk Transfer Station. Two of the three sites are near or surrounded by wetlands and are not conducive to an animal clinic, he said.
Mr. Hammer said that when he studied the zoning code, he found it strange that an animal clinic was not allowable within a commercial business district. Ms. Miosek and Mr. Beckmann's property on Essex Street, which is across the street from a house owned by Mr. Beckmann's mother, Kathleen Beckmann, is an ideal location for a clinic, the attorney said. The septic system would, he said, be the same as one required for a regular house and on-site parking could be provided.
James Martell, who owns Montauk Fuels, said if the change was made and the clinic was built, it would be a good time for the town to also consider adding more parking to the surrounding area. "There's never enough parking there," he said.
Mr. Bennett said the building would be designed as a traditional wood-frame structure with cedar shakes. It would measure 2,400 square feet on the ground floor and 500 square feet on the second floor. There would be no kenneling, no incineration, and no dog runs, he said, adding that under the provisions of a special permit, that could not be changed later. Mr. Beckmann, who is a landscaper, would landscape the property and plant natural noise barriers, if they were required.
The proposal is still in the idea stage and was brought to the committee for members' opinions only, Mr. Hammer said, explaining that there are still many other components to be considered, including review by the town board, the Planning Department, the architectural review board, and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services.
"I personally think it's great as opposed to another real estate office or a pizza parlor," said Lisa Grenci, the committee chairwoman.
In an interview after the meeting, Dr. Miosek said it is time to broaden her practice. The van has allowed her to treat many animals over the six years she has operated there but it has its limitations. She said she would like to be able to add a digital X-ray machine, an in-house blood lab, and a hospital area able to accommodate three sick animals at a time.
"With a larger facility I will be able to entertain school groups and student interns interested in the field of veterinary medicine," she said.
At the end of the meeting a vote was taken and a resolution supporting the clinic was approved with 16 votes. There were two abstentions, one of which was made by Richard Valcich, who said that he would like to speak to a town official before an overall zone change was made. "I'd like to know what we are leaving ourselves open to," he said.
In a written statement issued after the meeting Dr. Miosek wrote, "I can promise you that our clinic will conform to all building requirements and be a landscaped oasis provided by Rhett's Landscaping."

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) The NFC North is exactly what the NFL had in mind when it backloaded the schedule with division games.
The top three teams - the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings - are all still very much alive in the playoff hunt. Better yet, with only two games separating the teams and four games left between them, no one is anywhere close to clinching the division title.
``They count as double,'' Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said. ``Everyone is a game ahead or a game behind, so each game is going to be very important.''
Taking a tip from baseball and its captivating pennant races, the NFL began stacking division games at the end of the season last year. Oh, there would still be the occasional team that would run away with its division, wrap things up before the calendar hit December (yes, Denver and Atlanta, we're talking about you). But most teams would still be in the thick of it, making the games in the final month of the season more meaningful - and more exciting.
A win one week, and a team could be on top the division. A loss the next, and they're scrambling for the wild card. What's not to love about that?
``That's why they structure it like that,'' Packers defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said. ``It's like we're in the playoffs right now.''
Not that the NFC North needed any help making its matchups more riveting.
The NFC North rivalries have never been what you'd describe as friendly. Oh, the atmosphere is mellower than when Curly Lambeau and George Halas refused to shake hands after their games. But the teams are too close in proximity and have too much history to be just another week on the schedule.
``It's the Vikings,'' Pickett said of Green Bay's game this Sunday. ``And we don't like the Vikings.''
That goes double for the fans. Midwesterners may be warm and friendly, but they're as provincial as any on the East Coast. Their teams are like an extension of their families, making the twice-a-season meetings with their border rivals as heated as a holiday feud. That Cheesehead nickname Wisconsinites have come to embrace? It was originally an insult by Illinoisans. There's a reason Green Bay fans could live with Brett Favre playing for the Jets but couldn't stomach the sight of him in a Vikings jersey.
Beat the snobby neighbor to the south (or north or east or west) and it's worth an entire summer of bragging rights. A long winning streak is often considered evidence of an entire state's superiority.
Add playoff implications into the mix, and the fiery rivalries could become downright combustible.
``I asked them this exact question: `Do I have to give a motivational speech to get us ready for THIS game?'' said Vikings coach Leslie Frazier, who counts as something of an expert, having spent his playing career with the Bears.
``When you're playing a divisional rival, those guys understand the implications and what has to get done. At this level, if you can't get excited about this opportunity, you're in the wrong business.''
Particularly with so much at stake.
The Packers (7-4) are a game in front of the Vikings (6-5). They play twice in the final five weeks of the season, Sunday in Green Bay and the Dec. 30 season finale in Minneapolis. Both teams also have a game left against the Bears, who lost to Green Bay in September and beat Minnesota last week.
Do the math, and the division standings could be turned upside-down every week from here on out. So, too, the wild-card race, where Green Bay leads and Minnesota is locked in a tie with Seattle and Tampa Bay.
``These are the ones that you live for. These are the ones that, when you're playing in pee wee, you dream about, playing in the NFL against your rival,'' Christian Ponder said. ``Vikings-Green Bay, that's a huge game and obviously what's at stake makes it even bigger.''
Green Bay has won its last nine games against its NFC North brethren, a franchise-record streak that dates back to December 2010. You have to go back another year for the Packers' last division loss at Lambeau Field, where they have won 23 of their last 25 regular-season games.
The last NFC North team that won in Green Bay? None other than the Vikings.
``We need to get this Green Bay win,'' Frazier said. ``It's important for us and it's no different for them. They need it as much as we do.''
The status of Vikings multi-threat receiver Percy Harvin is doubtful with an ankle injury. But Peterson has put up some big numbers against the Packers, and Green Bay will be without defensive end C.J. Wilson, a cornerstone of the run defense.
The Packers' offense, meanwhile, is trying to figure out how to rebound from last weekend's 38-10 beatdown by the New York Giants that was even more lopsided than the score indicated. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times, giving him an NFL-worst 37 sacks. That's one more than he had all of last season.
But the Packers should get a boost from the return of No. 1 receiver Greg Jennings, who expects to play Sunday after missing the last seven games with a torn abdominal muscle.
And knowing they're facing the Vikings will snap anyone out of a funk.
``Every one of these games is important,'' Rodgers said. ``The NFC is getting tight for the playoff race. Everything's in front of us. If we win out, we win the division, host a playoff game at the very worst. We like where we're at. It wouldn't hurt to have a couple more wins at this point, but we put ourselves in position to make a run, and that's all you can ask for at this time of the season.''

Japanese Robot Shoots Breeze With Astronaut
Dec 20, 2013 10:10 AM PT
A humanoid robot named "Kirobo" has had a chat with a Japanese astronaut on the International Space Station.
The robot, also from Japan, is designed to process questions and construct answers from its vocabulary bank, as opposed to regurgitating preprogrammed responses.
When asked by astronaut Koichi Wakata if he could handle zero-gravity conditions, the robot replied, "I'm used to it now, no problem at all."
There were some awkward pauses during the chat -- looks like Kirobo's not quite ready to go on dates -- but the robot did show some wit, telling Wakata that he wanted to ask Santa Claus for a toy rocket.
The robot traveled to the ISS aboard a cargo transporter this summer and should return at the end of next year.

Spain Fines Google Over Privacy
Spain is the newest European thorn in Google's side, having levied a US$1.24 million fine against Google for a trio of breaches of law.As with Germany, France and others, Spain's primary gripe with Google, which owns a 90-plus percent share of the search market in Europe, is privacy. Specifically, Spain penalized Google for gathering data on users; combining data gathered from different services (YouTube, Gmail, Google Search, etc.); and keeping data indefinitely without first getting consent.
Google is studying the fine and mulling its next step.
Five other EU countries have launched investigations into Google, and that's not counting the 3-year-old antitrust case that the European Commission is still pursuing. While fines from the EC could be prohibitive -- 10 percent of global annual revenue -- the fines being issued by individual nations are, well, piddly. Germany fined Google $200,000 in April, and France threatened a similarly small fine in June.
The reason for Germany's small fine, and presumably these other countries as well, is that European regulations cap the amount of money companies can be fined for data breaches. Perhaps realizing that $200,000 (or even $1.2 million) is next to nothing for Google, the EU is working to increase the potential penalties.

Bad Week Gets Worse for BTC China
Hackers have developed malware designed to siphon dough from Bitcoin exchanges, including BTC China, the largest Bitcoin exchange in China.
The nuts-and-bolts: A "Zeus P2P/Gameover variant" was discovered by Trusteer, an IBM-owned transaction security outfit. The variant, according to Trusteer, hangs low until a user attempts to log into BTC China, at which time it steals the username and password.
It's been a wild week for BTC China, and for all the wrong reasons: Beijing on Wednesday announced that BTC China and other domestic Bitcoin exchanges could no longer accept new deposits in the local currency, a move that caused a plunge in Bitcoins' value.

EU Passes Deal on Common Charger
European regulators passed a provisional deal -- which is not a hardened regulation, but a step in that direction -- that would require mobile phone makers to provide a standard battery charger.
The outline agreement now must be endorsed by the European Parliament and the EU's 28 member states. If that happens, it would be implemented in 2017 or so. The member states would have two years to mesh the regulation with national laws, and manufacturers would be given an additional year to comply.

Beet Green & Potato Frittata
So I've not had much luck in the past with beet greens. They've always been rather bitter and unappetizing. But now, I've discovered an awesome way to use them that passed every taste test!
I got a couple of bunches of smaller beets from the Farmers' Market today, and the leaves were so fresh and tender, not a dog-eared leaf in sight, that the thought of tossing them on the compost just seemed all wrong. I removed the thicker ribs and chopped them finely, along with some baby potatoes and garlic. I mixed them together with salt and pepper and put them in a small oven-proof dish with grated Emmental cheese and butter, then beat a Farmers Market fresh egg along with some half and half and poured the custard over the top. Baked in a 375 oven for 45 minutes and the result was totally delicious and outstanding. No hint of bitterness - it could easily have been tender chard.
I did another version without the egg and more cheese and it was tasty, but the egg version wins hands-down.

WORCESTER, Mass. - After a very close, back and forth game, the MIT women's soccer team were able to edge out Worcester State, 3-2. Freshman Nikki Effenberger (Escondido, Calif.) scored the game-winning goal with just nine minutes remaining in the second half.
Nine minutes into the game, Laura Maunsell scored the first goal for the Lancers, giving Worcester State a quick lead. In the next four minutes, four attempts were made at the opposing goal. Two of them were saved by goalkeeper, Danielle Grunbaum, while one shot by freshman Jennifer Ibanez (West Windsor, N.J.) narrowly missed the goal and hit the post instead. In the 20th minute, however, senior Emily Kuo (Chicago, Ill.) blew by a defender and sank the ball in the net to tie up the game.
Less than two minutes later, Brianne Beckman shot the ball from right outside the box into the upper right corner of the net, going over the head of senior goalkeeper Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.), giving the Lancers the lead once again. With ten minutes left in the first half, junior Samantha Fleischmann (Eastchester, N.Y.) shot the ball from 25 yards away, sending it flying past the goalie and into the left side of the net, marking her first goal for the season.
The score remained at 2-1 for most of the second half, even though there was a lot of action between the nets. In a ten minute window, junior Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, Ala.) took four shots at the goal, two of them being saved by Grunbaum. In the 80th minute of play, Effenberger, who was assisted by fellow freshman Morgan Moroi (New Albany, Ohio), shot the ball past Grunbaum to put MIT ahead, 3-2.
In the last ten minutes of the game, the Engineers worked hard to keep the lead. With 20 seconds left in the game, Beckman made one last unsuccessful attempt at Wright in the goal, leaving the score at 3-2 in MIT's favor.
The Cardinal and Gray will be back on the field when they travel to Manhattanville College to face Eastern Connecticut State in the Valiant Classic on Friday, Sept. 7, while the Lancers will be hitting the road for Clark on Saturday, Sept. 8.

A major architect of Dutch "Total Football" was lost to the World,when Johann Cruyff lost his Battle with Cancer,aged 68.
For all the talent Holland had in the late 1960's and most of the 1970's,Cruyff and Rinus Michels were the Masters that stemmed back from their days of setting AJAX AMSTERDAM on the Ultimate Path to Glory which results in domination of the Dutch Football League and for a Hat-trick of European Cups.
The World Cup in Germany was meant to be their crowning Glory and for a short while,it looked that way,after Cruyff "ghosts pasts his marker Voghts" in the 1st minute after 14 passes and earns a Penalty from Referee Jack Taylor,which Johann Neeskens converts from the spot.
However Helmutt Schon' and the Germans find a way to stop the Dutch in their tracks,with a Penalty of their own,through Paul Breitner and then the Irrepressible Gerd Muller.
Cruyff by then is at Barcelona,whom he helps to a 1st Title in 10 years in 1973/74 and then carries a club Midtable in that season,to the Semi's,where they are stopped short of a Dream Final against Bayern Munich.
Cruyff scores 392 Goals over 525 games,but his backward Flick pass becomes folklore.
He returned to Barcelona to lead them to more domestic Glory and then lifts them to a greater level,where Barca finally Wins the Title of Champions of Europe.
His Loss is mourned in Holland and Barcelona,where he lost battle with Cancer.
RIP Johann Cruyff!
Vale Johann Cruyff

The credit union movement likes to brag that it's female friendly, hiring more women to serve in leadership positions than in other financial sectors.

A 16 storey office building next to St Mary Axe has started on site this week . Designed by Fletcher Priest Architects for AXA Real Estate, MGPA ,EUROHYPO and CORE, the new 234,200 sq ft office will be a distinctive addition to the City, and its dramatic ETFE covered roof garden will enliven the surrounding roofscape.
The new building replaces a 1980's office that over-sailed the pavement to form a dark colonnade that isolated the building from the street. Despite being double the floor area of the previous block, the new development reconnects the site to the neighbourhood. Fletcher Priest's design sets the building back to align with adjacent property, enhances pedestrian routes through and around the site and creates an attractive public space from what was previously a service area.
Fletcher Priest have used an ETFE floating roof structure to create an all-weather open air roof garden for the enjoyment of the occupants, who can take the lift to the landscaped space and enjoy the spectacular views. Over 10,000 sq ft of roof gardens aim to give the scheme a unique character yet fit in with its architecturally distinctive neighbours that overlook the roof.
The new structure is 80% more energy efficient than the building it replaces. It also reuses over 50% of the original structural mass that is part of an extensive sustainability agenda that shortens the construction programme, and helps avoid risks in the ground.

UN food safety and quality standards commission meets
Session expected to adopt new standards for vitamin supplements and foods
4 July 2005, Rome -- The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) meets today with representatives from more than 100 countries present, to adopt a number of new or revised food safety and quality standards that will safeguard the health of consumers worldwide and improve food quality and agricultural trade opportunities.
One of the draft standards up for consideration, on vitamin and mineral labeling, has sparked controversy recently. It is designed to give consumers information about maximum consumption levels for vitamin and mineral food supplements - taking into account the fact that too high an intake of such substances can cause health problems - and to guarantee that the minimum levels of the vitamins and mineral supplements claimed to be present in a product are actually present.
Codex provides guidance for member countries
The basis for the proposed new international guidelines already exists as part of the national framework in some Codex Member States. If adopted by Codex, the guidelines would not replace existing national standards, or create new national rules where none exist, but they could be used as guidance by countries choosing to increase consumer information on maximum consumption levels of vitamin and mineral food supplements. No action of Codex could cause those vitamin and mineral food supplements currently sold over the counter to become subject to prescriptions.
According to Kazuaki Miyagishima, Secretary of the Codex Alimentarius Commission: "The guidelines are meant to help national authorities when they are considering what standards to adopt for their countries. The guidelines would help consumers to use these supplements in a safe and effective way through improved information on the label."
Meat hygene codes to be combined
Codex, a joint Commission of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), will also consider two new codes of practice covering hygienic practice for meat and minimizing and containing antimicrobial resistance. Some 10 individual codes for hygienic meat practices are likely to be replaced by a new science-based meat-hygiene code. Both the new codes were prepared in cooperation with the World Organization for Animal Health, the OIE, as well as FAO and WHO.
"We look forward to the potential adoption of these standards as the work done by Codex in these and other areas is key to creating a global level playing field for food safety standards," commented Dr Kerstin Leitner, WHO Assistant Director-General for Sustainable Development and Healthy Environments.
This week's Codex meeting will also consider new safety standards for the prevention and reduction of aflatoxin contamination in tree nuts, and is expected to adopt principles for food certification by electronic means, which would ease red tape in international food trading.
Codex to again discuss Parmesan cheese issue
Another controversial issue before the commission is the question of geographical indication and the relationship of Codex to other international agreements covering this concept. The issue has arisen in the specific context of Parmesan cheese, but any Codex quality standard for products with a geographical indication depends on how this issue is resolved. This issue has been pending in Codex for several years because the opinions of member countries are, so far, divided.
More than 30 developing countries have been funded to attend the present session of the Codex Commission by the FAO/WHO Codex Trust Fund.
Hartwig de Haen, FAO Assistant Director-General, said the two Organizations would continue to try to improve developing country participation in the Codex decision-making process by strengthening their capacities at the national level to set up and administer food control systems.
"Technical assistance programmes by FAO and WHO support the efforts of developing countries to strengthen their national food safety systems to protect local consumers and to take advantage of international food trade opportunities," de Haen said.
The 28th session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission runs from 4 to 9 July at FAO Headquarters in Rome.

The Excelsior Glass Company
Canadian, active 1878–1883
Commemorative goblet, 1880
14.2 x 7.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery
This goblet is easily traced to The Excelsior Glass Company, the sole producers of this specific goblet. Clearly marked "St. Jean Baptiste Quebec 24 Juin 1880" on the base, the vessel commemorates the feast day of St. Jean Baptiste. In 1880 the Saint Jean Baptiste Society, an association dedicated to the protection and promotion of francophone culture in Quebec, organized the first National Congress of French Canadians, a gathering of all North American francophone communities in Acadia, the former French colonial empire. The Saint Jean Baptiste Society took as its emblems the maple leaf and the beaver, iconic symbols of Canada that also decorate this goblet. The WAG's goblet design is perhaps the best known and most desired of Excelsior's production.

I made some changes in my life, don't regret none of them
So if you ain't heard from me then you're probably one of them
Niggas want different results but do the same shit
They wait for it to come, I became it
Guess whos bizzack nigga?
You back in it all I know
Back on that bullshit you're always on
Everything was going too good to know
I just want the old you right now
[Verse 1]
The new you, I can't do, I knew you, this ain't you
I'm not no angel but always remain true
You hear what they say, my only complaint you
Wasn't just listening, you let that shit taint you
We fell out like faints do, I lost all respect
For niggas that's bitches, so don't call or text
Them bitches get checked like they all correct
But they be wrong that's why they're called your ex
You know talk is cheap so I call direct
And you niggas broke. Ya'll call collect
I'm watching my close friends like strangers, for bread
You said you'd never change, now don't change what you said
Face it ya'll all your bitches basic ball
But then you block it like you're 8 feet tall, homie
I'm in the truck with the Soul Tape on
Hoodie up, rest your soul Trayvon
I'm that cool I said guess who's bizzack
You back in it all I know
Back on that bullshit you're always on
Everything was going too good to know
I just want the old you right now
I can try to erase your pain
But you and I, we've made some mistakes
I fucks with the old you, the new you is lame
What did you say? You said that you'll never change
[Verse 2]
But you did soon as you got a chance
Why you poppin shit? you should poppin bands
Living that good life without a care
The new you is hot headed and I'm not a fan
But I still keep it cooler, I think you should cool out
For real, cause that ain't you though
Since you've been on that high horse your life been at a new low
And I've been chucking deuces from that 2 door with my new ho
Swear to God I ain't losing no sleep
I know you heard what I do to those freaks
I don't beat it up, I kill the shits, cause a funeral in those sheets
You mess with lames, they seven days, I swear them dudes so weak
It can all be so sweet, but baby, do your thing
And miss me with that bullshit that you be saying
You complain and pointing your finger when you're the blame
You know I got that comeback, boomerang
Baby, what's up?
[Hook & Bridge]
You back in it all I know
Back on that bullshit you're always on
Everything was going too good to know
I just want the old you right now
And that's what you told me, but it's not what you showed me
It is what it is, yeah, but I'll always love you
The song talks of Fab and his companion falling out due to changes she was starting to embrace that Fab himself never liked. This led to them parting ways and this is the song about it.
The song samples the song by Scarface ft. Jay-z, Beanie Sigel by the same name – Guess who's bizzack? from the album The Fix (2002)

I really enjoyed the pitching process at NYA. The process is clear, and the roadmap to a decision is defined. There's a one page form to submit, then a 10 person review session, and then, the 'big room' if you make it past the first two steps. I found the group smart and engaged, and the folks who knew our space lead the charge. Overall - it's a very efficient path to angel money.PRIVATE: Members Only (564 Characters)


text: The always charming First Lady went on David Letterman's show last night, and they had quite the conversation. Dave started out by pressing her on whether the President comes home and says "Oh, that John Boehner, what an idiot." She deftly managed to reply with, "It has never happened. Never, never. He is always upbeat, particularly about Congress." Her almost-straight face is a sight to behold. They then moved on to talking about her father, who had MS, and the parenting lessons she learned from him. At one point, she almost chokes up before saying to Dave, "Don't make me cry. This isn't Oprah." Zing!

Fingerprinting - Exam & Licensing Procedures
The Utah Insurance Department requires all individuals applying for a resident insurance license to be fingerprinted. Fingerprinting must be done at a Prometric test center, using "live scan" technology, which digitally captures and transmits the fingerprints to the Utah Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for a criminal history background check. Fingerprinting is not required for resident licensees adding a line of authority to an existing license.
For license types that require passing an examination (IE: Resident Consultant, Resident Producer, Resident Independent Adjuster, Resident Public Adjuster), the process is as follows:
- The applicant will register by going online at Prometric or by calling 800-697-8947 to schedule an appointment for the license examination and fingerprinting to be done at a Prometric test center. In addition to the Prometric examination fees, there is a $20 Prometric fingerprint processing fee. The applicant must schedule the appointment and pay the Prometric examination and processing fees before arriving at the test center.
- After passing the examination, the candidate will apply on-line using a kiosk located at the Prometric test center. The license application will include a $36.50 FBI/BCI fingerprint fee* ($16.50 FBI/$20.00 BCI) that must be made by credit card during the online application process. Upon completing the on-line application, the applicant must print the SIRCON or NIPR confirmation page and show it to the test center supervisor as proof they have paid the FBI/BCI fingerprint fees.
- After applying for a license on-line, the applicant will have their fingerprints taken at the Prometric test center.
- Fingerprint results will be returned to the Utah Insurance Department. The department will evaluate the results and the license application prior to issuing any license.
Candidates may no longer submit a license application for pre-screening purposes prior to taking the examination. All license applications are to be submitted after successfully passing any required examinations.
Note: Passing an exam and submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be issued a license. Issuance of a license depends on review and approval of all license application materials, including application questions regarding any prior civil or criminal proceedings. Read the application carefully. Failure to disclose civil proceedings and all criminal convictions, whether a misdemeanor or felony, and any pending charges, may result in denial of your application or revocation of your license after issuance. If your license application is denied, you will be notified in writing of the reason for such denial.
After passing the exam, complete and submit your license application electronically, and pay all required nonrefundable fees with a credit card. You can apply electronically from your home or office at Sircon or NIPR. Your application and fees will be electronically forwarded to the Department. After review and approval, you will be able to print your license from Sircon. You will need the license number and last 4 digits of your social security number.
The Department no longer accepts paper applications. Paper applications submitted to the Department may be returned to the applicant, without being processed.
Company appointments do not need to accompany the individual license application and license fee, but the applicant cannot act as a producer until the appointment process is complete.

Community FAQs
Why a Dental School in Arizona?
A study conducted by A.T. Still University and a blue ribbon panel of the country's leading dental experts confirmed the need for a dental school in Arizona. Also, recent statistics and trends point to emerging public health issues and concerns. Consider the following:
According to research conducted by Oral Health America in 2002, Arizona ranked low at 44 out of 50 states for the ratio of dental providers to people. Arizona has one dentist for every 2,520 residents, while the group reported a sufficient ratio is one dentist to 2,000 people. In addition, there also is an uneven distribution of providers in urban areas compared with a less than sufficient number of oral healthcare providers in rural areas of the state.
According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizonans have a higher rate of oral disease than the national average. Both Arizona children and seniors are part of the growing underserved indicated by alarming statistics, including:
- 31percent of Arizona children have never had a dental check-up.
- 43 percent of Arizona children ages 6 to 8 have untreated tooth decay, compared to the national average of 31percent .
- 65 percent of Arizona children between the ages of 11 to 13 have had tooth decay.
- 42 percent of Arizona seniors have bleeding gums and/or calculus present requiring professional care.
Current nationwide statistics indicate a future shortage because for every three dentists who retire, only two dentists enter the profession.
Currently, Arizona residents wishing to pursue dental education must go out of the state, and dental providers are recruited to come and practice in Arizona.
D.M.D. Degree and Dental Education Program
Our four-year dental program offers a doctor of dental medicine (D.M.D.) degree along with a certificate in public health. During the first and second year, students will learn from expert faculty lecturing in classrooms, from computer-based instruction and digital resources, and in a dental simulation laboratory on campus. Beginning in the second year and continuing in the third and fourth years, dental students will gain valuable experience and provide compassionate dental care at an on-campus dental clinic as well as clinical sites throughout the state of Arizona.
Dental Clinic
The on-campus dental clinic began providing dental treatment in 2005. The clinic provides students with provider-patient experience while at the same time serving as a community resource for patient referrals and oral health information.
The dental education program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. The Commission is a specialized accrediting body recognized by the United States Department of Education. The Commission on Dental Accreditation can be contacted at 312.440.4653 or at 211 E. Chicago Ave., Chicago, IL 60611. This designation provides the full benefits of accreditation for the next four years to all ASDOH students. This includes eligibility for scholarships, student loans, the ability to sit for state licensure exams, and the opportunity to apply to postgraduate programs. In addition, A.T. Still University is accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), 30 N. LaSalle St., Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602, phone 800.621.7440.
ASDOH students are selected from Arizona and across the country. Applicants are evaluated based on academic coursework, performance on the DAT, AADSAS application information, letters of recommendation, and interview. In addition, demonstrated community service through volunteerism or service-oriented employment experience is preferred.
First Day of Inaugural Class
The inaugural class of 54 students began class on July 21, 2003.
Arizona's Dental Community
ASDOH will keep practicing dentists and others in Arizona's dental community informed and updated about the school's progress through several communication and community events; timely articles in dental journals, newspapers, and other publications; attending meetings, seminars, and exhibits; and supporting and working closely with the Arizona Dental Association.
Practicing Arizona Dentists
We appreciate the support received from both Arizona dentists and the Arizona Dental Association. ASDOH will continually strive to be an oral health and a dental community resource for practicing Arizona dentists. Our expert dental faculty and support staff is available for information and reference regarding community organizations, academic information, and resource materials. In addition, ASDOH aims to have practicing Arizona dentists interested in serving as mentors and being involved and engaged with our students.

As a need-based dental school, our focus is to educate students who will provide oral healthcare in areas of need and in underserved communities not only in Arizona but also throughout the Southwest and the United States. While it is unreasonable to expect every graduate to practice in areas of need, we hope our graduates will spend all or a portion of their time serving community oral healthcare needs.
University Structure
ASDOH shares the Mesa, Arizona, Campus with the Arizona School of Health Sciences (ASHS), both schools of A.T. Still University. The state-of-the-art facility and campus is located just south of US60 at Baseline and Recker roads. ASHS offers master of science degrees in medical informatics, occupational therapy, physician assistant studies, and athletic training, along with doctoral degrees in audiology and physical therapy.

Holistic health (or holistic medicine) is a diverse field of alternative medicine in which the "whole person" is focused on, not just the malady itself.holistic concept in medical practice, which is distinct from the concept in the alternative medicine, upholds that all aspects of people's needs including psychological, physical and social should be taken into account and seen as a whole. A 2007 study said the concept was alive and well in general medicine in Sweden.

Location: Environmentally Integrated Dairy Management ResearchTitle: Spontaneous heating Author
Submitted to: Symposium Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 2/25/2013
Publication Date: 3/1/2013
Citation: Coblentz, W.K. 2013. Spontaneous heating. Symposium Proceedings. February 28 - March 1, 2013. Burley, ID.
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Increased use of large-rectangular or large-round balers has been observed throughout the US. In part, this move away from small (100-lb) rectangular hay bales has occurred because of the high cost and limited availability of labor required to handle these bales. Although the efficiency of harvest is improved with large hay packages, there also is greater susceptibility within these large bales for spontaneous heating, and in extreme cases, spontaneous combustion. Furthermore, heating is directly associated with losses of DM and undesirable changes in forage nutritive value. Therefore, producer diligence and proactive action may be required to limit or prevent this undesirable phenomenon.

The Red Sox, and what the Houston Astros can learn from their success
As recently as seven years ago, had you told me that the Boston Red Sox would be the best organization in Major League baseball, I would probably have laughed at you.
In 2002, the Red Sox had just finished second in the AL East. Thirty-nine players played for the Red Sox that year, only ten of whom had been drafted and developed by the Sox. Of eighteen pitchers, only three – including zero in the starting rotation – had come up through the organization. Those three relievers accounted for just 143 innings of the 1,446 that the pitching staff had thrown in the season. Left-hander Casey Fossum pitched 106.2 of those 143.
Though the Sox were competitive, they were doing it without much of a farm system. Because they had cobbled together a lineup mostly out of free-agent signings, trading away prospects, and waiver wire acquisitions, they had the look of the Yankees Lite. Their strategy seemed to be to outspend everyone in baseball with the exception of the Yankees, and then to play the underdog and complain about how the Yankees were buying championships.
Their farm system was a shambles, perenially ranked near the bottom. The six minor league affiliates were a combined 314-377 (.454) in 2002, with only the Augusta Greenjackets finishing with a winning record at 69-67. They had an average finish of 9.5, and none of them finished higher than 8th in their divisions.
In 2008, the Red Sox finished second in their division again, earning a Wild Card spot and advancing to the American League Championship Series, where they lost in seven games. Forty-seven different players suited up for the Sox, and though that only included 3 starting position players (C Jason Varitek, 1B Kevin Youkilis, 2B Dustin Pedroia), it did include 24 players who broke into the majors with the team.
Their six minor league teams finished a combined 373-313 (.541), with an average finish of fifth in their respective divisions. No team finished worse than eighth. No team did not post a winning record. Additionally, the Lancaster Jethawks (now a Houston Astros affiliate) made it to the California League finals.
Moving into 2009, Jacoby Ellsbury and Jed Lowrie should receive strong consideration to be the everyday starters at centerfield and shortstop, respectively, making five of the Red Sox starting nine homegrown prospects. The 2008 Tampa Bay Rays, considered by many to be the model of farm-system efficiency, had just four (Iwamura, Longoria, Crawford, Upton).
Had you asked a Red Sox fan how they felt about the team in 2002, they probably would have been very positive. They'd just finished second in a tough division, and though they hadn't made a playoff appearance since 1999, they were continually in the hunt. They hadn't finished lower than second in the division since 1997.
They spent money, they had All-Star caliber players, and they competed in their division. But they couldn't break through and win it all. Injuries at key positions could decimate them, because they had a weak farm system, despite a few standout players. They couldn't pull everything together at the same time.
Houston Astros fans, does this sound familiar?
What changed for the Red Sox between 2002 and 2009? How was this franchise, whose major league team was solid, but whose minor league system was incapable of filtering through enough quality players to add much-needed depth to compete solidly in the playoffs, , able to turn things around and become what I believe is the best organization in baseball?
There are many factors, of course, but three big ones leap to mind:
1) John Henry. In 2002, the Red Sox had just been purchased by an ownership group headed up by John Henry. Henry certainly hadn't impressed many as the owner of the Marlins from 1999-2001, but when he took over the Red Sox in 2002, he assembled a top-notch front office, headed by CEO Larry Lucchino from the Padres. Henry had grown up a St. Louis Cardinals fan, and had been involved in baseball at many levels – first as owner of the minor league Tuscon Toros, subsequently as co-founder of the Senior Professional Baseball Association. For a while, he also headed up a group vying for an expansion team in Denver, which would later become the Colorado Rockies. He had also owned a small interest in the New York Yankees before becoming sole owner of the Marlins.
What was different about his tenure with the Red Sox? Simply put: money. He had a much bigger market, a more-dedicated fan base, significantly higher revenue, and the added funds of his co-owners, television producer Tom Werner and the New York Times Company.
2) Billy Beane. Before the 2003 Winter Meetings, the Red Sox hired Oakland Athletics General Manager Billy Beane to fulfill the same function for their organization. Beane accepted the offer for $12.5m a year over five years – the largest contract ever offered to a Geneal Manager. The new Oakland GM, Paul DePodesta, argued at length with the Red Sox and their new assistant GM, Theo Epstein, about the compensation the Red Sox would give the Athletics. He refused to give away Beane for anything less than two minor leaguers, including a single-A player named Kevin Youkilis, the "Greek God of Walks."
During the negotiations, before a contract had been signed, Beane changed his mind and returned to the Athletics. Epstein was promoted to the General Manager position, despite being just 28 years old. The hiring of Billy Beane wasn't significant in itself, but rather because it showed that the Front Office had dedicated themselves to Beane's philosophy, that a sabermetric approach to building an organization – combined with their deep pockets – was an approach that could not be topped.
So far, they've been right.
3) Bill James. James might have been little more than a token hire when Henry signed him as the Red Sox "Senior Consultant, Baseball Operations." He w
as 54 years old and had never played professional baseball. He'd never been involved in the front office of a baseball team. But he was the father of sabermetrics, going back to his self-published Baseball Abstracts beginning in 1977.
James was responsible for many new statistics that tried to explain baseball production better than the typical "triple crown" statistics. Runs Created, Range Factor, Defensive Efficiency Rating, Win Shares, Pythagorean Winning Percentage, Game Score, Major League Equivalency, Brock2, Similarity Scores, Secondary Average, Power/Speed Number, and Approximate Value are all Bill James inventions.
Henry had grown up reading the Bill James Baseball Abstracts, and had found himself fascinated with this new way of looking at the numbers of baseball. The fact that it took so long for a Major League Baseball team to hire James is one of the greatest confusions in modern sports, but when the Red Sox finally did it in October 2002, they sent a very clear signal that they were serious about competing.
The Astros' owner, Drayton McLane, is a very hands-on owner with a rigid view of baseball. In a day and age where many teams are "seeing the light" on sabermetrics and most GM positions are filled with first-timers who have shown a dedication to advanced baseball knowledge, McLane hired former Phillies GM Ed Wade. Wade is a good General Manager – he built the overwhelming majority of the Phillies' 2008 championship team.
But as the Red Sox have proven over the last six years, a sabermetric approach – combined with the ability to spend money on the right players – is about as potent a combination as baseball has seen.
After all, it's turned them into the best organization in baseball.

Mariah Carey + Justin Bieber Celebrate Christmas at Macy's in 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Video
It's a holiday wonderland and shopper's paradise in the video for the Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber redo of her 1990s neo-classic 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' The clip for this upbeat holiday anthem is bright and sparkly, and there appears to be a hint of crushing going on in this May-December collaboration.
The video is set at Macy's department store, where Mariah takes the role of Mrs. Santa, dressed in a more naughty than nice red and white outfit with black stiletto booties. St. Nick would need more than a cold glass of milk (that goes with his cookies) to cool off after taking a gander at her. The Biebs plays a shopper, making all sorts of googly eyes at Carey while she dances and bats her lashes at him. She is like the cougar of Christmas past! The two certainly flirt with one another via their eyes.
The video is super festive, thanks to an abundance of lights, trees, presents, holiday retail displays, wreaths, thresholds and Yuletide cheer. Mariah is looking as in shape as can be while The Biebs wheels his shopping cart around, tossing presents. There is some obvious product placement, like Nintendo 3D, which The Biebs stocks up on for gifting purposes.
He and Carey toss presents to shoppers, while she is seated in a sleigh, like a diva. The Biebs joins her in the sleigh, where they hug and smile at each other while celebrating the holidays. Who knew shopping could be so much damn fun?

I was wondering if I could offer (paid) trials of my App in the Mac Appstore using in-app purchase?
So I have a $49 value Mac app, but I allow downloading for free, the app needs a $1.99 in-app purchase to activate the trial for a month.
Do you think it would work. Would Apple allow it?
