Last week, members of the Child Care Aware® of America Policy and Communications teams hopped in the car bright and early for a trip to West Windsor, NJ for a two-day on-site advocacy training. The team consisted of Jasmine Smith, Senior Policy Advisor; Nick Vucic, Government Affairs Associate; and Sara Miller, Communications and Public Affairs Specialist.
The training began with some ice breakers and an overview of advocacy vs. lobbying followed up with a couple of hours of updates from the federal level. The team talked about CCDBG, the Proposed Rule from HHS, The Affordable Care Act and more. After many questions and answers, the room moved into breakout groups to discuss goals and barriers the state of New Jersey is facing in the early learning sector.
Each group then presented their goals and barriers and the group ended the day thinking of ways to take everything to the next level during the following day of training.
The next morning, the group arrived early, with coffee in hand, for another day of learning about advocacy. The day kicked off with a quick recap of federal updates for those not in attendance on day one. Then Jasmine led everyone through the Child Care Aware® of America website pointing out resources and ways that the organization is here to help members in the states.
Following that, Michelle McCready, Senior State Policy Advisor, joined by phone to share information about state advocacy days and parent engagement, which was a great way to transition into a discussion about social media. We discussed Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and how to make all forms of social media help advocacy efforts. There were a few questions and then we moved into the final portion of the day: takeaways and next steps.
We were excited to see that many advocates in New Jersey were excited to learn about all of the great movement going on at the federal level and to gain more knowledge about making social media work for them.

Telltale Reportedly Developing Game of Thrones Game
Telltale Games, developers of critically lauded titles like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, may have set its eyes on ruling the seven kingdoms according to a new report.
George RR Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novels, more popularly known from the HBO adaptation 'Game of Thrones,' are fantastically popular. Fans of both the books and the series can't seem to get enough of the political landscape of Westeros, and they might be getting one more way to satisfy their addictions.
Sources speaking to IGN have revealed Telltale may be hard at work on bringing the conflict of the seven kingdoms to life in video game form. Though there have been several other games based in the same universe, none of them have been put together by a developer with the pedigree like that of Telltale.
For its part, Telltale avoided the question when asked by IGN if there was any truth behind the rumor. "We get these sorts of rumors about what we could be working on next cropping up all the time. Officially we have no comment," senior vice president of publishing Steve Allison responded. That said, Telltale did hype up a big development deal earlier this fall when representatives said several "dream IPs" were in the works.
With The Wolf Among Us continuing and Walking Dead Season 2 on the horizon, Telltale's certainly got a busy plate for the next few months. The next season of 'Game of Thrones' is set to kick off next spring, so perhaps there'll be some more details about the potential game in early 2014.

Three Wounded in Accidental Gun Show Shooting
(RALEIGH, N.C.) -- Three people were wounded at a gun show in North Carolina on Saturday, when a 12-gauge shotgun accidentally fired as a man was trying to open the case during a security check, local officials said.
A retired sheriff's deputy and two bystanders were hit by shotgun pellets today at the Dixie Gun and Knife Show, which is held at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
"When he attempted to open the case to be inspected, the shotgun accidentally discharged," fairgrounds spokesman Brian Long said.
The three suffered minor gunshot wounds.
Because of the shooting, Long said private gun sales will be banned at the show Sunday.
"We are not going to allow any what you would call private person-to-person gun sales," he said. "They will not be allowed to bring a gun with them. They will only be able to come in and buy from the vendors that are selling at the show."
Long said thousands of people turned out to attend the annual show.
"The advance ticket sales for the show were higher than usual, so we do believe that we have an adequate number of officers and security personnel on sight," he said.
There were two other incidents at other gun shows around the country Saturday.
A man shot himself in the hand when he was unloading his .45-caliber semi-automatic at the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show in Indianapolis. And gun dealer checking a semi-automatic handgun he'd bought accidentally pulled the trigger, and the bullet ricocheted off the floor and hit a friend in the arm and leg. The gun's magazine had been removed, but one round was still in the chamber, police said.

SBC Grant to Improve Instruction in Broadcast Production at Wayland
PLAINVIEW – Since Steve Long joined the Wayland Baptist University faculty in 1990, he's taught numerous students the ins and outs of broadcast journalism. A recent gift from SBC/AT&T will change the way that happens from this point forward.
Wayland received a $45,000 grant from the telecommunications company to purchase a state-of-the-art editing system for the mass communications department, a move that Long said will dramatically improve instruction and improve students' chances of finding employment in the field after college.
"When I came here, I told folks that what we really need if students are going to see what they'll see in the real world is an Avid system," he said. "That was 1990 and it probably did four percent of what it will do now."
Long said the Avid editing system is used commonly by most TV stations and production companies working on TV shows and movies, as well as at many colleges and universities and seminaries. Lubbock school district also uses the system with their LISD-TV, he said.
"The difference in Hollywood is that there may be four professionals working on four different Avid systems at one time," he said. "We're not going to try to be Hollywood here, but can be a good learning center."
Long said the experience on Avid systems will benefit students greatly as they seek employment.
"If a student can put on their resume that they've worked with the Avid system, it's a big hiring plus," he said, relating how one WBU graduate earned a job at an Austin TV station because of Avid experience that he learned on another job, not at Wayland.
But that will all change as the editing suite is set to be installed in the coming months. Avid experts install the entire setup and provide training to Long and others on using it. Along with the hardware editing suite, the grant also covered a laptop installed with the Avid Express software, allowing Long to take the editing program into the classroom or on a remote location and demonstrate the process.
The grant money also purchased a switch unit that allows Avid productions to be directly relayed into Wayland's TV station, which serves as the Family Net affiliate for Plainview cable customers. Long said the local programming will improve with the new system in place as well.
The production studio at Wayland currently uses a computer-based editing system, so Long predicts current students won't have a tough transition into the Avid world. He hopes the increased ease of the Avid system will encourage students to pursue producing a weekly news show as they did the previous academic year. The new system, he said, will make producing video packages for news stories much easier.
AT&T Inc. is one of the world's largest telecommunications holding companies and is the largest in the United States. Operating globally under the AT&T brand, AT&T companies are recognized as the leading worldwide providers of IP-based communications services to business and as leading U.S. providers of high-speed DSL Internet, local and long-distance voice, and directory publishing and advertising services. AT&T Inc. also holds a 60 percent ownership interest in Cingular Wireless, which is the No. 1 U.S. wireless services provider with more than 52 million wireless customers.

January 28, 2012
Undergraduate students rarely, if ever, get to teach their professors, alumni, and friends in a single semi-formal academic setting. But that's exactly what happened Friday at the Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Work, now in its 12th year at the College.
"To me, the Celebration always looks like an open house at one of the nation's finest graduate research institutions, except that there isn't a graduate student in sight," said National Association of Wabash Men (NAWM) President Greg Castanias '87. "It's a visual testament to the fact that Wabash College doesn't just give a 'good enough' education, but an education that transcends what most other colleges expect of young men and women.
"I think it's also a fine testament to how Wabash and its faculty see that our students are capable of even more than they themselves may believe they are capable of."
Friday's presentations ranged from plans for local business ventures to an analysis of the fall of a Libyan dictator to research in chemistry, biology, and physics. This year's Celebration also offered original photography, poetry, and a student film that has been screened across the country and around the world. Eighty students with interests as diverse as the 17 academic departments they represented taught on Friday. Their common denominator: the individual work ethic and close collaboration with faculty members that characterizes Wabash academics.
"To me, the level of intensity of the projects is always a rise. . . It's not just a science fair. And it's not just an art fair," said Associate Professor of Chemistry Lon Porter, who chaired this year's event.
Juniors William Costakis and Jonathan Wong presented a poster entitled "Attenuation Lengths of MoNA and LISA Detectors." The pair used a spatial light modulator machine to control the way light is rendered to the eye. Eventually, technology like this will allow television sets and screen monitors to render real 3-D images without the need for glasses. As for the pedagogy involved, Costakis appreciated the opportunity to explain his research to others.
"It was nice figuring out different ways to relate our research in simpler terms," Costakis said.
For Porter, the Celebration also says something about the College's commitment to its own students: "It's important that we come inward and appreciate the core of the liberal arts and share with each other as opposed to going off campus and sharing with others."
The College's trustees and members of the NAWM also attend the Celebration, most of them graduates from before the College offered this event—the only afternoon of the year that classes are cancelled.
"There was nothing this dramatic when I was a student here," said Castanias. "I would have remembered if I had had to defend my English literature or philosophy research in front of a bunch of guests, including successful alumni from all around the world."
For Castanias, new traditions—like the Celebration—add to the life of the College.
"Alumni need to get back more often to remind themselves that not all the traditions of our days are still around, that new traditions have replaced the old—but even so, Wabash is still, at its essence, the same Wabash committed to a superior liberal arts education and the making of better men."
Said Ian Grant '13, who read his poetry for Friday's Celebration: "It's a learning process that never really ends."

OSO, Wash. — The debris fields east of Oso look much different in July.
The small lakes from the heavy rains of March and April are gone.
There is firmness to the sun-dried ground, a much altered-terrain from the aftermath of the March 22 Oso mudslide.
Evidence of uprooted and destroyed homes that once made up the Steelhead Drive neighborhood has largely been removed.
Cars and trucks again roll by along the patched-up stretch of Highway 530.
Yet the work in the debris fields is far from over.
Contractors hired by Snohomish County are searching through the dirt once more, separating out the wood and waste, all the while looking for remains and personal belongings to return to families. Forty-three people were killed in the slide. All but one has been found.
Site restoration is a $6.4 million job of sifting through the piles created by search and recovery teams. It also means clearing portions of the county-owned Whitehorse Trail.
Crews have begun screening the estimated 200,000 cubic yards of debris on private property. That's comparable to 17,000 dump truck loads or a football field filled with dirt 100 feet high, said Janice Fahning, the county construction engineering manager monitoring the work.
Roughly 95 percent of the material is believed to be soil and wood debris.
The project involves up to 80 workers, including heavy equipment operators, archeologists and spotters.
Last week, crews wearing hard hats and orange and yellow safety vests began on the western edge of the debris. It is a delicate and nuanced process that's to be carried out over 10-hour days five days a week.
Work likely will wrap up in September, well before the rainy season, said Matthew Zybas, the county's solid waste utility director.
In May, Zybas wrote a letter to the Federal Emergency Management Agency declaring the debris fields a public health and safety threat. Most of the cleanup money will come from federal and state governments.
The wood will be ground into chips and used on the site.
Metal will be taken to a recycling center.
Personal belongings will be stored in totes to be reunited with owners or their loved ones.
Man-made debris, mostly building materials, will be taken to a certified landfill in Eastern Washington.
Soil will be used to fill holes and trenches. The wood chips will be spread on the soil.
The site will be seeded with grass and wildflowers.
"The whole goal of the project in the end is to create a stable and safe site," Fahning said.
The workers want to be respectful as they make their way across the area, she added.
At the same time, county officials hope curiosity-seekers don't park their cars along the highway and that they stay clear of the debris fields.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Reverend Dr. Kenneth Meshoe, an outspoken member of the South Africa Parliament, recently expressed ongoing frustration with accusations that Israel is an apartheid state, calling such claims an insult to what his own nation went through.
Earlier this year, Dr. Meshoe visited San Francisco just around the time that American universities, especially in California, were swarming with anti-Israel propagandists whose new favorite ploy is to label Israel as a practitioner of apartheid against the Arabs of the region.
"As a black South African who lived under apartheid, ...in my view, Israel cannot be compared to apartheid in South Africa," Meshoe wrote in the San Francisco Examiner. "Those who make the accusation expose their ignorance of what apartheid really is."
Meshoe explained that under South African apartheid, which was "a legal system of segregation and oppression based on skin color," black people such as himself could not vote, freely travel, or hold high government positions. Furthermore, they were subjected to segregation everywhere from pubic restrooms to schools to hospitals.
"In my numerous visits to Israel, I did not see any of the above," stated Meshoe. "Black, brown and white Jews and the Arab minority mingle freely in all public places, universities, restaurants, voting stations and public transportation. All people have the right to vote. The Arab minority has political parties, serves in the Israeli parliament (Knesset) and holds positions in government ministries, the police force and the security services. In hospitals, Palestinian patients lie in beds next to Israeli Jews, and doctors and nurses are as likely to be Israeli Arabs as Jews. ...None of the above was legally permissible in apartheid South Africa!"
In short, Dr. Meshoe, who heads the African Christian Democratic Party, said it was "slanderous and deceptive" to make such accusations against Israel as doing so "trivializes the word apartheid, minimizing and belittling the magnitude of the racism and suffering endured by South Africans of color."
In conclusion, he wrote that "Israel is a model of democracy, inclusion and pluralism that can be emulated by many nations, particularly in the Middle East."
It was not the first time Dr. Meshoe had spoken out on this issue. At an international gathering of legislators in Budapest on October 31, 2011, he similarly called those who accuse Israel of apartheid of being "ignorant" at best, and purposely deceitful at worst.

SOCORRO, N.M., March 15, 2002 -- James A. Brierley, a former biology professor at New Mexico Tech, recently was elected to the membership of the National Academy of Engineers (NAE), one of the highest professional distinctions that can be accorded an engineer.
Brierley, who now joins his wife, Tech alumna Corale L. Brierley, as a NAE member, taught and conducted research at the university from the late-1960s to the early 1980s.
Membership in the ranks of the NAE is limited to individuals who have made "important contributions to engineering theory and practice" and have demonstrated "unusual accomplishment in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology."
James Brierley, currently chief microbiologist and chief research scientist at Newmont Mining Corporation in Englewood, Colo., was honored last month by the Academy "for recognizing the potential of high-temperature biomining, and for innovative industrial biomining practices."
Corale Brierley, who earned both her bachelor of science and master of science degrees at New Mexico Tech, was inducted into the NAE in 1999 "for innovations applying biotechnology to mine production and remediation." She currently presides as principal of her international company, Brierley Consultancy LLC.

When it comes to Freedom of expression and freedom of press in Egypt in the new era of President Morsi after the new constitution , you only have to expect the worse because not only newspapers and TV channels can not be closed by court rule and journalists can be imprisoned but it is the most restrictive constitution when it comes to Freedoms and rights as Sheikh Yasser El Borhamy brags !!
We have to expect the worst when more and more journalists and TV hosts are being reported for the new prosecutor general accused of insulting the President.
Today famous TV host Bassem Youssef today was reported to the public prosecutor by some lawyer called Ramdan El Uxory who accused him of insulting President Morsi in his sarcastic show "Al Bernameg" !! Oh yes El Uxory believes that Youssef insulted Morsi when he mocked him and showed his picture printed on some pillow from two weeks ago !!
Here is a clip where Bassem Youssef says that his baby girl Nadia is sleeping on Morsi's pillow and that Morsi's speeches made Nadia stands up ; an achievement in its own !!
Now El Uxory is claiming that in his report he filed that Youssef is not only mocking the head of the State but he is affecting his image showing him as a weak man whether in Egypt or outside it !!
You must know that Youssef is facing hell now after his brave episode last Friday when he criticized the radical hypocrite Sheikhs supporting Morsi from Salafists.
Bassem Youssef is not the last TV host to face this charge but popular TV host Mahmoud Saad is also facing the same change and he is not alone. Saad and his guest Dr. Manal Omar , the famous psychiatrist are accused of insulting Morsi by the Presidency itself !! Ironically both Saad and Omar used to support Morsi against Shafik in the presidential race.
From few weeks ago Dr. Manal Omar presented a psychological analysis for inmates , political inmates like Morsi and the presidency did not like it. Ironically Islamists especially the Muslim brotherhood loved for analysis for Shafik's personality. Man, you can not imagine how Manal Omar made Morsi earn votes with her analysis for real.
Moving from TV we got for columnists, now columnist Ola El Shafaei of Youm 7 website and newspaper found herself accused of insulting the president because she dared and criticized Morsi after the presidential palace clashes.
These are the latest incidents in the past three weeks , of course there are other important incidents like for instance how columnists find their op-eds criticizing MB are no longer published in Al Akhbar Newspaper that is being controlled totally by Islamists. You will find news coming from National TV about reporters being punished for speaking the Truth against MB or TV hosts for hosting guests the MB minister of information does not approve !!
I had enough from news similar to this in addition to the attacks on journalists and reporters on the field. I had enough. I do not feel optimistic about the future of freedom of press or expression in this country. I feel that soon enough I will be accused of insulting the president's Holiness. I will not speak about how depressing to see this happening after the revolution because it will sound naive. I do not know if we were naive but I know we were romantic revolutionaries.
I am so depressed.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (6-18, 4-9 OVC) fell to the Austin Peay Lady Govs Saturday afternoon, 3-0. Tech lost by the scores of 25-20, 25-13 and 25-23.
"We were not able to execute the way we are capable of," said head coach John Blair. "We will need a better team performance and a more effective outside attack if we are going to win at Jacksonville State."
The first set opened with APSU owning a one-point lead at 8-7. Using a 12-9 run, Austin Peay was able to stake out a four-point lead at 20-16, and was able to hold the Golden Eagles back for a 25-20 win to take the opening set.
Tech fell behind quickly in the second set as the Lady Govs built a quick 9-3 lead. Austin Peay would not look back as it took the second set 25-13.
The third set a seesaw contest in which neither team led by more than two points. Both teams were tied at 20 late in the set, but it was Austin Peay that was able to finish as the Lady Govs took the third set 25-23 and the match.
Senior outside hitter Leah Meffert led the Golden Eagles in kills with 11, while senior setter Melanie Culp added 31 assists.
Tennessee Tech wraps up its regular season road schedule Tuesday as it takes on the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, at 7 p.m.

The Office of Investigations and Enforcement (OIE) is responsible for investigating complaints involving a possible violation of a professional or occupational practice act. OIE also investigates Labor complaints for wage disputes and child labor. Certain professional or occupational licensing boards also require routine or follow up inspections by statute or regulation. OIE, through its inspection unit, also conducts those inspections. Occasionally, if violations are detected, and not otherwise appropriately resolved, a complaint will be opened and the alleged violations investigated. In those instances, the cases are handled as would any other OIE investigation.

Each year, OIE receives complaints relating to approximately 2 percent of its licensees. Complaints must be made in writing. Once a complaint is received, it will be assigned to a complaint analyst who reviews the complaint to determine if a violation of the board's practice act may have occurred.
If it is determined that a complaint does not reasonably allege a violation of the board's practice act, the complaint will be classified as a "Do Not Open" case and the matter will be closed. Otherwise, the case will be assigned to the appropriate chief investigator who will review the complaint, determine issues, assign case number and assign case to an investigator.
Early in the investigative process, the complainant and the Respondent will be notified that the case has been assigned to a specific investigator and the Respondent will have an opportunity to send in a response to the complaint. The investigator will conduct a thorough investigation and may issue subpoenas under section 40-1-80(B) of the South Carolina Code for records relevant to the investigation. The investigator will also conduct interviews of necessary parties to the complaint. Investigations are generally completed within 60-180 days.
Once the investigation is complete, the results of the investigation are then presented to an Internal Review Committee (IRC) for determination as to whether sufficient evidence of a violation of the practice act exists to warrant formal proceedings. The IRC's recommendation will be presented to the board, which will ultimately decide whether or not the case proceeds to a formal complaint. If formal action is approved, OIE will forward the case to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (OGC) for further proceedings.
Payment of Wages Investigations
The Payment of Wages Act (Act) establishes a procedure to inform employees of their terms of employment, to include hours of work, wages agreed upon, employee benefits, time and place of payment an itemized statement of gross wages and deduction; and to assure employees are paid according to the terms of their employment. Under the Act, employers are also responsible for certain record keeping requirements concerning their employees.
Any wage complaint received indicating a possible violation of the Act will be screened by the appropriate chief investigator to determine whether the complaint falls within the jurisdiction of the Act. Many of the complaints received by OIE allege a violation by an employer, but do not implicate the Act.
If the chief investigator determines that the complaint alleges sufficient facts concerning employee unpaid wages, commissions, and/or benefits, he or she will assign it to an investigator.
When the investigator completes the investigation, he/she will report the investigative findings to the chief investigator. After review by the chief investigator, if violations of the Act are found, sanctions such as citations and warnings will be issued to employer. An employer may request an administrative review of any citation issued in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act.
Review the Payment of Wages Act
The Child Labor Laws in South Carolina were enacted to prohibit oppressive child labor practices as defined by statute and regulation. Click here for the laws governing child labor in South Carolina.(41-13-5 et. seq. and S.C. Code of Regs. Chapter 71 Article 3)
As in Payment of Wages complaints, if a complaint is made alleging a violation of the Child Labor laws, the designated chief investigator will review the complaint to determine if sufficient facts exist to open an investigation.
If a case is opened for investigation, it is assigned to an investigator to conduct a full investigation into the allegations. Upon completion of the investigation, the investigative findings are reviewed by the chief investigator who will issue appropriate sanctions as provided by law, which may include the issuance of citations and assessment of a civil penalties.
Employers may protest and request administrative review of any citations and must follow the procedures established by regulation to be entitled to an administrative review.
In both Payment of Wages and Child Labor investigations, OIE has the statutory authority to enter the premises of employers to inspect the premises or documents in furtherance of an investigation.
Review the state child labor statutes and regulations (see Article 3).

U.S. Businesses Show First Rise in Employment Since 2008
WASHINGTON, May 15, 2013 - In 2011, total employment from all U.S. business sectors was 113.4 million, an increase of 1.5 million employees from 2010, according to new statistics released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. The mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector led the way with a 12.0 percent increase in employment from 2010 to 2011. This year is the first since 2008 in which U.S. businesses reported an increase in employment over the prior year.
These new findings released today are from County Business Patterns: 2011, which provides the only detailed annual information on the number of establishments, employees, and quarterly and annual payroll for nearly 1,200 industries covered at the national, state and county levels. The statistics are broken down according to employment-size classes (for example, number of establishments with one to four employees) and legal form of organization (for example, corporations and partnerships).
"The strength of this release is that we can measure the economic activity of businesses at the local level, including changes over time," said William Bostic, the Census Bureau's associate director for economic programs. "This year's County Business Patterns report is the first since the most recent recession to show a reversal in the downward trend of employment. The growth in employment combined with the increase in annual payroll is another indication of a recovering economy."
State and County Highlights
North Dakota showed the largest percentage rise in the number of establishments, total number of employees and total payroll for any state in 2011. There were 22,370 establishments in North Dakota in 2011, an increase of 538 (2.5 percent) from 2010. There were 306,064 employees in North Dakota in 2011, an increase of 11,157 (3.8 percent) from 2010. Annual payroll was at $12.3 billion, up $1.7 billion (16.5 percent) from 2010.
Among the top 50 counties in the United States ranked by number of establishments, Kings County, N.Y. (Brooklyn) had the largest percent increase in establishments and employment, with a gain of 1,625 establishments (3.4 percent) to 49,837 establishments, and a gain of 24,368 employees (5.0 percent) to 513,746 employees for 2011.
Industry Sector Highlights
Other industry sectors that had an increase in employment included administrative and support and waste management and remediation services (4.6 percent), educational services (3.4 percent), management of companies and enterprises (3.1 percent), and transportation and warehousing (2.4 percent).
Health care and social assistance added the most establishments, with 5,866 in 2011 (up 0.7 percent). Construction showed the largest decline in establishments, losing 24,946 establishments (3.7 percent) in 2011, down to 657,738 overall.
The retail trade sector had the highest number of establishments (1.1 million). Next were professional, scientific and technical services (850,903); health care and social assistance (818,726); other services (except public administration) (722,398); construction (657,738); and accommodation and food services (649,011).

A new diplommatinid genus, Luzonocoptis Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, gen. n. is erected for two new species, Luzonocoptis antenna Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. n. and L. angulata Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. n. Both species inhabit the northeastern part of Luzon Island, Philippines. The genus Luzonocoptis gen. n. is mostly characterized by a very slender shell with 14–18 whorls, a strongly expanded peristome, an interrupted, weak columellar lamella, the absence of any additional plicae or lamellae, and a rachidian tooth having five cusps.
Keywords: Land snail, Luzon, rock habitat, systematics, taxonomy
Diplommatinidae Pfeiffer, 1856
Genus Luzonocoptis Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, gen. n.
Diagnosis: Shell sinistral; apex blunt, club-like; shell very slender with 14–18 whorls, rather regularly, finely ribbed; aperture round with a weak columellar lamella visible from standard apertural view; columellar lamella interrupted, its inner, short portion blunt thorn or tubercle-like, situated inside post-constriction bay; other inner plicae and lamellae absent; outer surface of operculum matt, smooth; inner surface with a very slightly elevated arcuate ridge; rachidian tooth with five cusps (central one blunt, larger than other four cusps), marginal teeth with four pointed cusps.
Differential diagnosis: Luzonocoptis gen. n. differs from Palaina Semper, 1865 (type species: Diplommatina macgillivrayi Pfeiffer, 1854) by the unique shell shape, the strongly expanded peristome, and most importantly, the presence of a columellar tooth, which continues to a strongly developed lamella (see Yamazaki et al. 2013 and Neubert and Bouchet 2013). The most similar diplommatinid genus in terms of shell characters is Hungerfordia. Luzonocoptis gen. n. differs from Hungerfordia by the presence of an interrupted columellar lamella, and the rachidian tooth, which possess five well-developed cusps. In contrast, the columellar lamella of Hungerfordia is not interrupted, and the rachidian tooth is simpler, with a single, or three cusps.
Etymology: The first part of the name derives from the name of the island (Luzon), where the included new species have been found. The second part ("-coptis") refers to the similarity with Middle American urocoptid taxa in terms of shell size, shape, colour and habitat. Gender feminine.
Type species: Luzonocoptis antenna sp. n.
Content: Luzonocoptis antenna sp. n. and L. angulata sp. n.
Distribution: This genus is known so far from northeastern Luzon Island. The distance between the type localities of the two species is approximately 34 km in a straight line.
Luzonocoptis antenna Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. n.
Diagnosis: A tall, yellowish, very slender diplommatinid with club-shaped apex, dense, low ribs on the last whorl, rounded lower whorls, strongly expanded and reflected peristome that is strongly oblique to the shell axis, and a weak interrupted columellar lamella.
Etymology: The shell shape of this new species (wide aperture, very slender upper whorls, and a club-shaped apex) resembles a radio antenna. The specific epithet antenna to be used as a noun in apposition.
Habitat and distribution: Living specimens were found on a limestone rock wall. This species is known from the type locality only, which is situated ca. 34 km in a straight line from the type locality of L. angulata sp. n.
Luzonocoptis angulata Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. n.
Diagnosis: A tall, yellowish, moderately slender diplommatinid with club-shaped apex, widely spaced, sharp ribs on the last whorl, angled lower whorls, strongly expanded peristome that is slightly oblique to the shell axis, and a weak interrupted columellar lamella.
Etymology: The specific epithet angulata (Latin: angled) refers to the keeled lower whorls, which distinguishes this species from L. antenna sp. n.
Habitat and distribution: Empty shells were found at the base of a limestone rock wall. This species is known from the type locality only, which is situated ca. 34 km in a straight line from the type locality of L. antenna sp. n.

There's some obsession with these graphs, especially when you come home after some particularly hard training session - just having a quick peak at the profile before hitting the shower.... ;)
For example:
I love sportstracks and playing with the graphs! Everyone says I am geeky but hey it's fun!
If you are using a Mac, give Ascent (from montebello software) a go. It has a really easy to use interface and makes even prettier graphs.
I just want them to add power to it now too...
No on a PC.
Are you over at Drumlanrig next weekend for the NPS? I rode SSUK there this weekend and the riding is amazing!
Cool, yes, I will be at the NPS - will you? Do they use the same tracks? What's it like? Very technical?
No I'm nowhere near fast enough for something like that!!!
I imagine they will use some of the same trails, they were really technical. Lots of routes and very tight singletrack which I'm not used to at all! But we had hardly any fireroad which is always good.
Found a pic of you from the weekend.
I'm looking forward to the race report on your blog.

Programs of Excellence
The University of Nebraska allocates funding for areas of research, teaching and public service that are critical to Nebraska's public health, economic development, elementary and secondary education, and access to the university.
Since FY2003 the University of Nebraska has invested $20 million for Programs of Excellence (POE) on its four campuses to 140 separate programs. The purpose of the POE funds was to support campus priorities by leveraging a good program to attain a higher level of distinction and enhanced national reputation. In 2011 the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost undertook a review of the success to date of the investments made after five years of POE support. This review was in compliance with the requirements for periodic review in the Board of Regents Strategic Framework [SF2 (b) (i)]. The review sought to answer questions about how the funds were used; what investments the campuses made; what evidence of success could be measured from external funding, publications, or other relevant criteria; the effectiveness of the leadership and the history of any difficulties; and whether the POE program has a strategic plan and remains a campus priority.
Overall the POE investment has been very successful in building programs that led to new academic programs and enhanced research. The POE investment from 2003-2008 was $15.5 million. By 2012 that investment was matched by campus investments of almost $32 million. These investments have leveraged programs which have now won nearly $530 million in external funding. Over 10,700 publications, grants, papers, and awards have been produced in POE programs. The initial investment of POE supported in full or in part 107 tenure-track faculty hires and 90 non-tenure track faculty, staff, and graduate students. The successful investment in faculty resulted in a growth of external awards and endowment gifts that today assist in the funding of 157 tenure-track faculty members and another 147 non-tenure-track faculty, staff, and graduate assistants. All but a handful of programs that received a POE investment are in place today and continue to be campus priorities.

Arrests Made in Alvarado Killing
( Press Release From Sweetwater County Sheriff's Department)
Three teenagers, two from Rock Springs and one from Green River, have been arrested on charges stemming from the murder of 17-year-old Rigoberto "Rigo" Alvarado, whose body was found in a shallow grave north of Rock Springs on August 19.
In a joint release, Sweetwater County Sheriff Rich Haskell and Rock Springs Chief of Police Mike Lowell said Brady Jacob Trevino, 18, of Rock Springs, Jose Antonio Campos, 18, also of Rock Springs, and a 17-year-old male, a resident of Green River whose name officials are currently withholding, were taken into custody without incident on Friday afternoon by arrest teams from the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office and Rock Springs and Green River Police Departments.
Trevino is charged with first degree murder and conspiracy to commit first degree murder. Campos and the 17-year-old male are each charged with conspiracy to commit first degree murder.
A joint investigation by the Sheriff's Office and Rock Springs Police Department, helped by the Green River Police Department, has been underway since Alvarado's father, Rigoberto Alvarado, Sr., reported him missing to the Rock Springs Police Department on the morning of July 30.
Alvarado was last seen by his family around 8:30 PM on the night of July 29, when he left his family's home at the Imperial Apartments in Rock Springs in the company of his girlfriend, a minor authorities declined to identify. According to court documents, the girlfriend told investigators the two went to her home in Rock Springs, where they "'hung out'" until later that night when, at about 11:00 PM, Alvarado "stepped outside of her residence to meet one of his friends, identified as Brady J. Trevino."
The young woman said she "eventually fell asleep, while Alvarado was still outside of her residence with Trevino. When she awoke several hours later, in the early morning hours of Monday, July 30, 2012, Alvarado and Trevino were no longer outside of her residence, and Alvarado was gone. Alvarado never returned to her residence."
Contacted by investigators, Trevino told them he picked up Alvarado from the girlfriend's residence "at or around 11:00PM on Sunday, July 29 2012. While together, Trevino and Alvarado got into an argument. Alvarado left Trevino to 'walk home' and 'cool off,' and Trevino did not know where Alvarado went. Trevino had not seen Alvarado since that time."
As described in charging documents, "Preliminary examinations of Alvarado's, [the girlfriend's], and Trevino's mobile phones revealed apparent gaps in text-message and phone-call correspondence between Alvarado, [the girlfriend], and Trevino, beginning on or around Saturday, July 28, 2012 and ending on or around Monday, July 30, 2012... Further investigation and subsequent examination of these mobile phones and their corresponding cellular telephone record data confirmed multiple text-message and phone-call correspondence between Alvarado, [the girlfriend] and Trevino had been deleted from each of their mobile phones."
On August 19, a group of people exploring the remains of long-abandoned coal camps and coal mining operations outside of Rock Springs near Lionkol Road came upon the body, later confirmed to be Alvarado's, and notified authorities. Authorities excavated the shallow grave and noted that Alvarado's hands and feet appeared bound behind his back and his face was "partially covered."
An autopsy was performed on August 21 in Loveland, Colorado, the results of which "indicated the body had suffered multiple injuries including likely blunt force trauma and gunshot wounds, and forensic medical examiners concluded the death a homicide." Also, "an additional small-caliber "mushroomed" bullet fragment was located and recovered from the immediate area of the body subsequent to autopsy."
Detectives and crime scene technicians from the Sheriff's Office and Rock Springs Police Department searched and processed the scene and recovered a range of physical evidence, including "multiple expended small-caliber ammunition casings and several cigarette butts from the immediate area surrounding the burial vault." As noted in court documents, "on or around Wednesday, August 22, 2012, during a secondary canvass of the scene for additional items of possible evidence, an expended small-caliber ammunition casing was located and recovered from the immediate area surrounding the burial vault... Investigators noted the empty shell casing looked similar to the empty shell casing seized from one of the vehicles located at Trevino's residence."
During the course of the investigation, city and county detectives recovered from Trevino's residence a small-caliber semiautomatic rifle as well as and "an expended small-caliber ammunition casing and a piece of binding material from inside of two vehicles located at Trevino's residence."
Detectives noted that "the expended small-caliber ammunition casing seized from inside of one of the vehicles located at Trevino's residence appeared similar to several of the expended small-caliber ammunition casings located and recovered from the immediate area surround the burial vault" and "the piece of binding material seized from inside of one of the vehicles located at Trevino's residence looked similar to the binding material found on the recovered body."
As a result of well over a hundred interviews and combing through Facebook posts, investigators developed information identifying the 17-year-old male and Jose Campos as associates of Trevino and Rigoberto Alvarado. Detectives also "developed and corroborated [information] identifying Alvarado, Trevino, the 17-year-old male and others as known drug users and associates likely involved in a conspiracy to obtain, possess, use and/or buy and sell illegal drugs, namely marijuana."
It was also determined that "Trevino's vehicle traveled to the immediate area of Campos's apartment on 6 separate occasions over the course of approximately 5 days after Alvarado's disappearance, beginning on or around Monday, August 13, 2012 and ending on or around Sunday, August 19, 2012."
During the course of an interview, an incident that occurred around the time of Alvarado's disappearance was described to detectives wherein "Trevino, Campos and the 17-year-old male were together in Trevino's vehicle using marijuana belonging to Alvarado. This incident was substantiated through a subsequent interview with [the 17-year-old male]... Through the course of interview, it was determined there was a dispute between Trevino and Alvarado about money and/or drugs owed by one party to another through illegal drug transactions... Through the course of interview, it was further determined Campos likely benefitted from a disputed illegal drug transaction between Alvarado and Trevino."
In addition, investigators learned that the young woman Alvarado was with the night of his disappearance was Campos's ex-girlfriend, and "it was further determined Campos had, on more than one occasion and to more than one person, openly expressed his dislike of Alvarado."
Trevino, the 17-year-old male, and Campos provided DNA samples to investigators, and the Wyoming DCI's State Crime Laboratory began its examination of the evidence collected in Sweetwater County. On August 31 and again on September 7, detectives were notified that the DNA samples from Trevino, the 17-year-old male, and Campos matched the DNA from seven of the cigarette butts found at the crime scene, further that Alvarado's DNA was also present on two of the seven cigarette butts, mixed with [the 17-year-old male's] and Campos's DNA.
Trevino, the 17-year-old male, and Campos will likely have initial court appearances Monday in Circuit Court in Rock Springs, as the investigation continues.

Landowner of the Year 1998- James Hicks
For his outstanding efforts to enhance wildlife habitat on
his property, James Hicks of Canadian County was named 1998
Landowner of the Year by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife
John Hendrix, private lands biologist for the Wildlife Department, presented the award after a slide show depicting the extensive work Hicks has performed on 1,500 acres in Canadian Co. Several projects required Hicks to remove acreage from production, which constituted a personal sacrifice in potential income.
"As a conscientious steward of his land and its resources, Mr. Hicks is a prime example of how a landowner can successfully manage his property for the benefit of wildlife without compromising his ability to make a living," Hendrix said. "What Mr. Hicks has done with his place is a model for other landowners who have the same goals. We're proud to be able to honor him in this way."
Hicks, who is the manager for the Canadian County Conservation District, uses a multi-faceted approach in managing his property to create a variety of habitat types. Among the most notable improvements include maintaining and enhancing windbreaks established in the 1930s, as well as establishing and maintaining buffer zones that provide nesting habitat for birds and travel corridors for deer and other animals. Hicks controls cattle grazing on certain parcels and maintains a healthy mix of open and woodland areas, with special emphasis on mast-bearing hardwoods. He also established two wetland areas.
Other practices include encouraging the growth of native grasses and other vegetation, as well as planting food plots. He also promotes growth of vegetation along creek banks on his property to protect water quality and to provide additional habitat.
"We take a lot from this land," Hicks said, "and when I leave this world, I want to leave my property in better condition than when I bought it."
In honoring Hicks, the Department renewed its Landowner of the Year Program. To be considered for the prestigious award, landowners must demonstrate a commitment to managing their property to provide benefits for wildlife.
For more information on the Department's Landowner of the Year contact private lands biologist at (405) 521-2739.

Antler chandeliers, antler wreaths, antler candelabras…. It's not just hunters that are taking pleasure in displaying antlers in their homes these days. As Leshia from Southern Chic Love points out, they are everywhere in the décor world! Leshia jumped right in on the antler craze by turning one of her family's hunting prizes into this Pottery Barn-inspired wall plaque. All it cost her was the can of stain!

Series About:
Caution: Mature content. Not appropriate for children.
Stephanie's mom worked and went to school full-time. Her stepfather was deployed to Iraq. "So, there really was no one at home," she recounts.
Her life took a dangerous turn after she met a "nice, cute guy" at a party. Stephanie was 12 at the time.
"He was older, which was exciting," she said. "That was cool. We talked throughout the whole party."
And then she kept seeing him everywhere — even at the Starbucks up the street from her house.
"I thought, maybe this is like fate — a little knight in shining armor," Stephanie said. "Each time he came up to talk to me, I pretended I didn't know him. I was a straight-A student, went to youth retreats, church and everything — I didn't want people to know I actually went to a party with alcohol and stuff like that."
Eventually, they did start talking. And then they began dating. He took her out shopping and to really nice restaurants.
One day after they began dating he said, "I owe him."
"I started dancing in strip clubs for him and skipping school. I'd take the bus to school and as soon as I got off I'd leave to go meet him down the street. One night it escalated to more than just the strip club. He threw me outside in the freezing cold and said I have to come back with a certain amount of money or I could just freeze. It went on for a long time. I ended up addicted to different drugs and drinking alcohol almost every day. Finally one day the police picked me up and took me home."
But that was just the beginning of what would become Stephanie's quest for her life: Her journey out of sex-trafficking.
To learn more about Stephanie's story, check out Shared Hope International's documentary, Chosen.
Stephanie's story originally appeared in the CitizenLink Daily Email update on March 28, 2014.

Emergency Forces Phillips Avenue Shutdown
The City of Sioux Falls Public Works issued an emergency street closure on Wednesday morning.
North Phillips Avenue was closed to through traffic between East McClellan Street and North Riverside Avenue. Access will be maintained for local traffic for the duration of the closure.
The reason appears to be utility work which is anticipated to take just one day to complete.
Drivers are urged to use caution and reduce their speed while traveling near the construction area and may want to consider alternate routes.

From Twitchy:
Here you go folks, straight from the mouths of the "let's be civil" police, the good ole' boys from the DNC:
Patrick Gaspard's (Executive Direct of the DNC) tweet: "…its constitutional. bitches."
Greg Greene's (DNC's News Media Director) tweet: "…take that motherf..ers."
Wow, the class amazes me. How can any vote Democrat with people like that running their party.
