Volume 13Issue 1October 2001
A spacecraft with a telescope designed and built by Montana native Loren Acton turned the ripe
old age of 10 last month.
The Yohkoh spacecraft, launched August 30, 1991, has captured more than six million images of
the sun and ushered in a decade of discovery for solar scientists around the globe.
"The world of solar physics will never be the same again, thanks to Yohkoh," said Acton, the
Fergus County native whose team built the telescope while at Lockheed-Martin Solar and Astrophysics
Laboratory in Palo Alto, Calif.
In 1985, Acton flew aboard the space shuttle Challenger to observe the sun from space and to head
up other in-space science projects.
Not long after Yohkoh's launch, Acton retired from Lockheed, moved to Bozeman and began a solar
physics research group at Montana State University.
Japanese for "sunbeam," Yohkoh is a mission of Japan's Institute of Space and Astronautical
Sciences. Acton's team supplied the telescope, which uses lower energy X--rays, or soft X-rays,
to capture images of the sun's hottest regions.
The United Kingdom also is involved in the mission. Acton heads the U.S. part of the international
project from MSU.
Yohkoh revolutionized studies of the sun by taking continuous digitized X-ray images of earth's
closest star through nearly an entire 11-year sunspot cycle. During that cycle, the sun goes from
relatively calm with few flares and related outbursts to a time of intense storms and sunspots
and back again.
"Before Yohkoh, observations of the sun were a few weeks at most," said Acton. "So the long-term
observation of the sunspot cycle is really a tremendous difference."
MSU research scientist David McKenzie said Yohkoh's main contribution has been in the study of
the sun's outer halo, called the corona. Scientists have long been stumped over why the corona
burns nearly 1,000 times hotter than the surface of the sun itself.
"In the last several years, Yohkoh has allowed us to rule out some theories and reinforce the
strongest and best theories," McKenzie said.
Yohkoh also has helped scientists understand solar flares, huge explosions in the atmosphere of
the sun caused by a violent burst of magnetic energy. A typical solar flare can release in less
than one hour as much as 10,000 times the annual energy consumption of the U.S.
Acton and McKenzie don't even try to hide their enthusiasm, even affection, for the satellite still
going strong despite 10 years spent in the harsh, uncaring environment of outer space.
"The spacecraft is in near perfect health," McKenzie said. NASA has agreed to fund two more years
of its operation.
Realistically, though, Yohkoh is expected to last another decade--long enough to observe another
complete sunspot cycle and to complement solar images taken by another NASA spacecraft, named
HESSI, scheduled for launch in October.
McKenzie is one of several scientists who operate the telescope on a rotating basis from Japan.
The job, he said, is a blast.
"As part of my job, I'm one of the first people on the planet to see what our star has done in
the last few hours, and that is just a kick in the pants," McKenzie said. "The sun is changing
all the time...and to be the first to see it is really thrilling."
Others from MSU who take turns operating the telescope are Piet Martens, Richard Canfield and
Jun Sato.
Yohkoh's birthday will be celebrated next January when Acton, McKenzie and about 150 other
scientists from around the world meet for a conference in Kona, Hawaii. The group will discuss
Yohkoh's latest discoveries.
Annette Trinity-Stevens is the director of research communications.

On June 17, we'll be celebrating the men in our lives. Those dudes -- dads, uncles, grandparents, brothers -- who have helped shape who we are.
And because the task they've been given (we're a lot of sugar, but also some spice) is so large, we wanted to find some extra-impressive items to gift them.
So naturally we came up with 14 items we secretly covet ourselves (if we like 'em, the men will too... right!?).
From stocking his pantry with unexpected food products to sending him a "gentle reminder" he's always late with a watch, these are the top gifts we're giving this Father's Day.

Next: Best Booze To Buy Dad For Father's Day
Forget the tie. Think bespoke booze for Father's Day, specifically a beverage tailor-made to suit the hobbies father knows best. Of course, to do that you first have to decide who, exactly, is your daddy. The type of guy who likes to putt? Or someone who's happiest when merely puttering? Is he sporty? Handy? Or maybe he's that most challenging of giftees, the man who has everything. Whatever the type, we've got a few suggestions to help you pick out that perfect bottle. With files from The Canadian Press
The Sports Fan
Lots of choices in this category, including a number of wines by NFL greats such as legendary coach Dick Vermeil of the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs as well as former Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers player Charles Woodson. Is dad more of a brew guy? Radeberger Pilsner is a classic German Pilsner made with barley malt, hops and water from the brewery's own well.
The Grill Guru
Port isn't what comes to first mind when selecting a summer wine, but a chilled tawny port can be delicious as a barbecue aperitif or paired with dishes such as grilled scallops. Two to try are Taylor-Fladgate 20-year-old Tawny and Graham's 20-year-old Tawny. Does your dad's typical backyard bash involve inviting the whole block over? Consider Ravenswood Vintners Blend Old Vine Zinfandel, a hearty, meat-friendly wine that's priced reasonably enough at $10 to $12 a bottle to allow you to grab a case.
The Movie Maven
For 007 fans, a No. 1 choice might be The Macallan, a single-malt scotch featured as James Bond's favourite drink in the recent box-office hit "Skyfall." Interesting fact, Macallan did not pay for product placement of the scotch, which Bond and M are shown drinking and which is also used in an edgy scene featuring an unfortunate game of William Tell-style marksmanship. Another option is the Director's Cut wines from director-turned-vintner Francis Ford Coppola of "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now" fame. The limited production wines sourced from Sonoma County come with a wraparound label modeled after a Zoetrope strip, one of the earliest moving picture devices.
The Handyman
Is your dad the kind of guy who disappears into his workshop for hours in search of a better mousetrap? He might like Lucid Absinthe. Popular in the 19th and early-20th centuries, especially in France, the anise-flavoured spirit was banned due to concerns that it contained dangerously high levels of the chemical compound thujone, found in the key absinthe botanical ingredient Artemisia Absinthium. But environmental chemist T.A. Breaux wasn't convinced the experts were right. A Louisiana native, Breaux had some pre-ban bottles of absinthe. He ran it through the mass spectrometer and, hey presto, found only trace amounts of thujone. In 2007, Lucid, produced in France, was approved for importation to the United States.
The Golfer
Scotland is the home of golf and of Scotch whisky (no telling if those two are related), and a good gift for the dad who golfs might be Johnnie Walker Double Black, a smoky, complex whisky. Or, try a single-malt whisky like Oban 14-year-old, which balances sweet and smoky with a slightly briny finish. If dad likes wine, a number of golfers have gotten into the wine business, including South African Ernie Els, who produces wines from his country's Stellenbosch region and Arnold Palmer who collaborates with Luna Vineyards in the Napa Valley.
The Auto Racing Aficionado
Turn4 wines are named after the most exciting turn in the track. Try the California cabernet sauvignon, fruity and elegant. The Andretti Winery in the Napa Valley founded by race car legend Mario Andretti is another option.
The Guy Who Has Everything
There are a lot of people to look up to in the world of wine, but maybe none so literally as 7-foot-6 former NBA star Yao Ming. Ming's Yao Family Wines made its debut in 2011 with two choices, Yao Ming 2009 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Yao Ming 2009 Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. They're both priced in the special occasions category, the first coming with a suggested retail price of $150 and the second tagged at $625 and are available at a few fine wine shops by signing up on the winery mailing list. In the spirits category, cognac offers elegance and finesse, just the ticket for a dad with sophisticated tastes. Camus cognac fits the Father's Day theme well since it's now being run by fifth-generation member Cyril Camus. The line starts with the reasonably priced VSOP Elegance at $24; try it over ice for a refreshing change. But if you recently won the lottery or are celebrating a VERY special Father's Day, how about the Cuvee 5.150 which marks the family-owned company's 50th anniversary and rings up at $13,500 a bottle. Or maybe you need a bit more time to save up for that one.

NEXT: Canadian Dads We Love
Russell Peters
Canada's king of stand-up comedy pulls no punches when it comes to his own dad, often sending audiences into fits of uncontrollable laughter with hilarious imitations of his Indian father. He recently became a father himself to Crystianna Marie, who was born prematurely and spent two months in the hospital. Luckily Peters' adorable daughter caught up quickly (he called her a 'heifer' at 9 pounds), and as this photo shows, he likes to incorporate her into his comedy. In 2011, she even made a cameo in his very first Christmas special.
Donald Sutherland
Why We Love Him: Don't let his evil persona Dr. Snow a la Hunger Games fool you; the accomplished actor is also a caring father of five (to Kiefer, Rachel, Rossif, Angus and Roeg). A constant support system for his celebrity son Kiefer, Donald proudly described him as an "astonishingly good" actor at the unveiling of Keifer's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Canadian Bald Guy
Why We Love Him: This dad blogger, who defines himself by his shiny bald head, has four children with the love of his life. None are biologically shared, and he maintains a long distance relationship with his partner, giving a modern take on what it means to parent. His posts reflect a joie de vivre and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. Did we mention he used to have hair?
Adam Beach
Why We Love Him:Born in Ashern, Manitoba, actor Adam Beach is known for his roles in such blockbuster hits as Smoke Signals, Texas Ranger and Cowboys & Aliens. But he doesn't let fame get to his head; Beach is a devoted dad to his three children (Noah, 16, Luke, 18 and Phoenix, 4) and told Native Peoples magazine that when he's not being a father, he dedicates his free time to helping younger generations of first nations people in need of aid.
Michael J. Fox
Why We Love Him: The beloved Michael J. Fox has won three Emmys, been awarded with Freedom of the City (from the city of Burnaby, BC) and has been a tireless advocate for Parkinson's disease research. He and his wife Tracy have four children, and Fox has said that his own diagnosis of the disease has made him a better father and overall human being.
Theo Fleury
Why We Love Him: This father of four and former NHL player currently resides in Calgary with his wife, where he once played for the Flames. His impressive hockey career ended in 2003 due to struggles with addiction, which Fleury has revealed were as a result of past sexual abuse at the hand of his coach. In 2009, he documented his experiences in a best-selling autobiography, and has since become an advocate and activist for survivors of child sexual abuse.
Kid Koala
One of the world's finest turntablists and also an accomplished cartoonist, Eric San aka Kid Koala has taken fans on the most imaginative musical journeys with his impressive DJ skills. His recent foray into fatherhood with the birth of his daughter Maple inspired him to create Space Cadet, a wordless graphic novel with its own soundtrack about a guardian robot and his daughter. And even though he says she doesn't like his music, Maple is still cool with his hectic tour schedule and even likes touring with him.
Dr. Dave Williams
Why We Love Him: While most people know him as the astronaut who made two groundbreaking treks into space, few know him as low-key father of two. His amazing kid ethos was confirmed when he told Canadian Medicine News that he tries to encourage children to follow their dreams wherever they may take them.
David Suzuki
Why We Love Him:: This Canadian is an accomplished academic, science broadcaster and environmental activist. Strongly encouraged by his father, he is outspoken about passing lessons learned about hard work to his own children and grandchildren. And it may have paid off: his daughters Severn and Sarika share his passion for environmental activism, and the latter joins him on CBC's The Suzuki Diaries, where they explore sustainability issues across the country.

A single director-class switch can replace multiple smaller switches while offering growth flexibility, high availability and a bevy of advanced features.
The heart of any Fibre Channel storage-area network (FC SAN) is the switching equipment that connects the host servers with the storage systems. This switching equipment performs basic connectivity between FC devices and can also:
- Determine the type of FC devices that are connected
- Handle FC zoning functions
- Typically allow connections to other Fibre Channel switches to extend the storage network
There are two basic classes of FC switching equipment: directors and switches. And while they both perform the same fundamental functions, there are significant differences between the two switch classes.
Basic FC switches generally have a fixed number of ports and provide basic switching functions with limited scalability and redundancy within the switch. This type of FC switch is available today from Brocade Communications Systems Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and QLogic Corp.
At the high end of the switch spectrum are the directors, generally referred to as director-class switches. Directors are designed and built with scalability and high availability in mind. The term "director" has its heritage in the IBM ESCON Directors of the early 1990s, which were some of the first versions
|Brocade vs. Cisco: A little history
Brocade Communications Systems Inc., founded in 1995, developed its own Fibre Channel (FC) switches and was an early leader in the FC switch market. It's also integrated technologies from the other FC switching companies it has bought or inherited, like McData Corp., which Brocade acquired in late 2006. McData had its own line of FC switches and directors and, at one time, had the vast majority of the FC director-class switch market. Brocade's "M-Series" products come from the McData product line. Previously, McData had acquired switch vendor Computer Network Technology (CNT) Corp. in early 2005; before that, CNT had purchased Inrange Technologies Corp. in 2003, which had its own high port-count FC directors.
Cisco Systems Inc., a long-time player in Ethernet switching, announced its first FC switch in 2002 and has been growing that product family since then. Currently, Brocade has the edge in the FC switch and director market, but Cisco is a strong competitor.
This was first published in April 2010

The Great Unknowns
Wild Sicilian Oregano
Wild Sicilian Oregano
Picked wild—a rare find.
Oregano is one of those few herbs that, traditionally, is almost always used dry, not fresh. Whole wild branches in blossom like these are hard to find—and prized.
Writing in The Artful Eater, Ed Behr says they're "greatly superior to any other form of oregano, fresh or dried."
Hang this bunch in a corner of your kitchen, always at the ready for summer Greek salads, sauces made with July and August's tomatoes and later, for fall and winter stews.

RFB Itz Spangle06 Feb 2012 - 08:27I've never said "always push back sword instead of training/sword bridge" , It just is something that you can use under circumstances. Biscuit said to never go there. That was what I was disputing. Now he is saying that you can go there, but that was not in his initial post and would not have been posted had "I" not disputed and debated that. But your last post I agree with...
RFB Itz Spangle06 Feb 2012 - 08:24"Spangle, Spangle, Spangle. Most of us know that sword in Pit TS is an intergral part and as biscuit has said he knows its importance too. All he is saying is that if you are going to push sword look to push across training/bridge if you can as it without a doubt can benefit teamwor" etc, lol that Is what I have been trying to say this whole time.

Butte State Bank, Butte, Nebraska, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit cashier's checks bearing the institution's name are in circulation. The items are reportedly associated with a mystery shopping scam.
The counterfeit items display the routing number 104113550, which is assigned to Butte State Bank. The items are markedly dissimilar to authentic cashier's checks and display a security statement in a top darkened border with rounded corners and along the bottom border between two padlock icons. The words "CASHIER'S CHECK" and an indemnity bond statement are in the top-center area. The bank's logo, name (twice), and the phrases "Payable Through Butte State Bank, Butte, NE" and "For Inquires call (866) 475- 8028" appear in the top-left corner. Note: The toll-free telephone number shown is not associated with the bank. Two signature lines are in the lower-right corner. The phrase "AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE" is shown below the first signature line and the word "COUNTERSIGNED" is shown below the second signature line. The word "REMITTER" appears in the lower-left corner.
Authentic cashier's checks are light greenish-blue and have shaded top and bottom borders. The bank's logo, name and location are in the top center. Authentic checks display the following security statement below the payee line: "THIS DOCUMENT HAS A MICRO-PRINT SIGNATURE LINE, SIMULATED WATERMARK, AND CHLOROSTAIN PAPER; ABSENCE OF THESE FEATURES WILL INDICATE A COPY." A table containing "DATE," "DISTRIBUTION," "PARTICULARS," AND "AMOUNT" headers is shown below the written dollar amount line. The statement "THIS CHECK IS DELIVERED FOR PAYMENT ON THE ACCOUNTS SHOWN ABOVE" is below the table. The words "CASHIER'S CHECK" appear in the lower-right corner above two signature lines. A padlock icon and vertical security statement are on the right side. The word "REMITTER" appears in the top-left corner.
Copies of a counterfeit item and an authentic check (VOID) are attached for your review. Be aware that the appearance of counterfeit items can be modified and that additional variations may be presented.

Looking a bit deeper at Mac vs. Newberg
Feb 1, 2013
By Ben Schorzman
Of the News-Register
First things first. I screwed up.
If you happened to read The News-Register on Tuesday and opened to page A10, you probably saw a breakout box titled, "Lopsided Dominance." It had a list of the scores between McMinnville and Newberg in wrestling going back to the 1999-2000 school year.
The top score — supposedly from the 2012-13 school year — was wrong. That line should have read, "2011-12: Newberg 38-33" instead of "2012-13: McMinnville 38-33." The top line should have been reserved for the accomplishment the Grizzlies pulled off Jan. 24 with a 45-28 win vs. Newberg — their first win vs. the Tigers since Dec. 12, 1980.
To further the confusion, the other scores in the list were all labeled wrong. Needless to say, I apologize.
The story fascinates me, and I don't want my errors to detract from what a memorable win it was for Mac last week. I spent hours over the past week combing through The News-Register archives as well as old McMinnville yearbooks tracking down the scores (most of them) from 1980-81 to today. Below you will see the product of that labor. It paints a more complete picture of Newberg's success vs. McMinnville.
While the results show the Grizzlies not having won a dual meet vs. Newberg since the final days of the Carter Administration, it doesn't tell the complete story of how Mac has fought and struggled. Those are the stories I'm interested in. I can't help but think back to Mac wrestling coach Shawn Keinonen's time at Newberg as a 151-pound wrestler and then him deciding to coach at McMinnville in 2008. That first year Mac lost 63-8 to the Tigers.
I watched Keinonen closely when Mac finally won last week. He didn't allow himself much emotion besides a smile. Such is the demeanor of a wrestling coach. Afterward when we talked, the relief of getting that stone off his back was evident.
Who knows, maybe Newberg will win next season and start another streak against the Grizzlies. I highly doubt it, though, because Keinonen has taken a slice of what he grew up with in Newberg and has transplanted here. Mac should be fun to watch for years to come.

Veterans Day is still a few days away. But on Wednesday, one group of Wilmington residents found a way to thank troops for their service, just as they do every week at the same time.
Local Heroes, which celebrated its eighth anniversary on November 3, packed its 16,000th package on Wednesday night during their weekly trip to Knights of Columbus to pack boxes for troops serving overseas.
For Local Heroes founder Lou Cimaglia, there is just one word to describe the milestone.
"Humbling," said Cimaglia. "It's been an amazing show of support. It's been an amazing show of support. For the residents of Wilmington and us to do what we do every week for eight years, and to hit 16,000 all in one week, it's a great experience."
One of the most rewarding aspects of running Local Heroes is seeing the young Wilmington residents who come down to volunteer on a weekly basis. Many times when students finish their required hours, they continue to volunteer.
Cimaglia also said the group takes on a different meaning since many times family members of soldiers currently serving come down while the packages are being put together. They are able to connect, share stories, and most importantly support each other.
"We've become a support group as well," said Cimaglia. "We have a lot of family members with loved ones overseas who can talk amongst each other, and that is really important."
Several months ago Cimaglia was recognized for his work with Local Heroes when he was named the Myra Kraft Community MVP grand prize winner, . Then over the summer, the Patriots organization sent representatives to pack boxes with Local Heroes.
But the connection between Local Heroes and the Patriots doesn't end there.
On Sunday, Cimaglia will head to Gillette Stadium to represent his non-profit organization in helping pack boxes that will be sent to troops overseas. Then before the game, he will be on the field with several others to help hold the giant American Flag that will be stretched across the field before the Patriots kick off against the Buffalo Bills.
"It's a time of year when people remember those who are serving," said Cimaglia. "And obviously I am all about that."

Crusaders Set to Open Mid-Con Play this Weekend
Tuesday, September 12, 2006Match #7: Friday, Sept. 15, 4 p.m. CDT
Valpo (4-2, 0-0 Mid-Con) at Western Illinois (4-2, 0-0 Mid-Con)
Match #8: Sunday Sept. 17, 2 p.m. CDT
Valpo (4-2, 0-0 Mid-Con) at Northern Iowa (0-6, 0-0 MVC)
This Week in Crusader Soccer: Valparaiso opens up defense of its Mid-Continent Conference regular season title on Friday afternoon as the Crusaders head to Macomb, Ill. to battle Western Illinois. Valpo then closes out its four-match road trip on Sunday afternoon at Northern Iowa.
On the Air: Neither of this weekend's women's soccer matches will be broadcast on the air or on the internet.
Series Notes: Valparaiso holds a 6-1-1 edge all-time against Western Illinois dating back to 1998. The Crusaders have won two straight meetings with the Westerwinds and are unbeaten in the last five contests between the schools (4-0-1). Valpo holds a 2-1 series edge against Western Illinois in Macomb. The Crusaders and Northern Iowa have met just twice, with each school winning at home. The Crusaders were 3-0 winners against the Panthers in 2002 at Eastgate Field while UNI posted a 2-1 overtime victory in Cedar Falls in 2003.
Scouting Western Illinois: The Westerwinds started the year as the hottest team in the Mid-Continent Conference, winning their first four contests before dropping a pair of matches last weekend. Western Illinois has posted three shutout victories thus far as Samantha Clark has a 0.20 goals against average and a 94.4% save percentage in more than 450 minutes of work. Robyn Ruypers leads the way for the Westerwinds offensively, having scored three goals and tallying seven points.
Scouting Northern Iowa: The Panthers are still looking for their first victory of the season after seeing their losing skid extend to 21 matches following a pair of contests last weekend. UNI has scored just four times on the season with Lindsey Daugherty picking up a pair of tallies. In goal, Krista Thorley leads the way with a 3.27 GAA and a 70.8% save percentage.
Wrapping Up Last Week's Action: The Crusaders posted a pair of victories in Nashville, Tenn. to begin a four-match road trip. On Friday Valpo came from behind to notch a 3-2 overtime victory at Belmont. Lauren Cooper started the scoring late in the first half with her first career goal before the Bruins scored two straight to take a 2-1 lead late into the match. Kendall Brown tied the contest for the Brown and Gold with less than seven minutes remaining in regulation and then found the back of the net again with the match-winner 28 seconds into overtime. Sunday at Lipscomb, Valpo outshot the Lady Bisons 39-7 on the way to a 3-1 victory. Lori Johnson scored twice while Jackie Thomas also added a tally for the Brown and Gold.
Brown Earns Offensive Honors from the Mid-Con: Kendall Brown was named the Mid-Continent Conference Offensive Player of the Week for her efforts in Nashville. Friday at Belmont, the sophomore scored a pair of goals, including the match-winner in overtime, while tying the match late in the second half. She finished the weekend with a total of nine shot attempts. She had four shots at Belmont and five more at Lipscomb.
Succeeding in Overtime: Valpo has needed extra time for a pair of victories this season, but continued to have success in overtime. The Crusaders are unbeaten in overtime in their last ten contests (4-0-6) dating back to 2003.
Fire Away: The Crusaders launched an offensive assault on the Lipscomb goal on Sunday afternoon as the Brown and Gold fired 39 shots toward frame, the second highest shot total in school history. Of the 39 shot attempts, one shy of the 1997 mark of 40 at Saint Mary's (Ind.), 29 of them were on goal, forcing Lady Bisons goalkeeper Katie Shelton to make 25 saves.
Johnson and Brown are Winners: The sophomore forward duo of Kendall Brown and Lori Johnson each have a flare for the dramatic. Both have moved into a tie for fourth place on Valpo's career chart already with four match-winning goals less than two years into their playing career. Johnson has two match-winners already this season.
Brown Moves Into the Top 5 All-Time in Scoring: Sophomore Kendall Brown's found the back of the net for the 12th and 13th times in her career at Belmont. With the goals, Brown moved into fifth place alone on Valpo's career goal scoring list.
Brown Also Moves Up Shots List: Kendall Brown also has moved into sixth place on the Crusaders' career shots list with 100. With three more attempts, the sophomore will move into a tie with Allison Swanson (2002-2005) for fifth place on the career charts.
First Time Goal Scorers Continue to Produce: Valpo's offense saw two new additions to the scoring column this past weekend in Nashville. Redshirt-junior Lauren Cooper found the back of the net for the first time in her career on Friday at Belmont to open the scoring. Cooper then added her first career assist on the match-winning goal in overtime. Defender Jackie Thomas also notched her first career tally Sunday at Lipscomb. The sophomore bent in a corner kick to add an insurance goal for the Brown and Gold.
Murray Continues to Stay a Top the Record Books: Junior netminder Erin Murray continues to hold the career goals against average record for Valpo. Her 1.35 GAA is 0.67 better than second place on the Crusader charts. In addition, Murray's more than 3,604 minutes in goal are second behind Amy Cavanaugh (1996-1999) on that list.
Cabral Earns Victory in First Career Start: Freshman goalkeeper Mele Cabral got the call for her first career start on Sunday afternoon at Lipscomb. The rookie made five saves on six shot attempts while earning her first collegiate victory.
Valpo Highest Scoring Offense in the Mid-Con: Valparaiso leads the Mid-Con in goals (12) and points (30) heading into this week's action.
All-Conference Returnees: Valpo returns four All Mid-Con selections for 2005. Junior goalkeeper Erin Murray along with sophomore defender Jackie Thomas were each First Team selections while sophomore forwards Kendall Brown and Lori Johnson each earned Second Team accolades. Head coach Stephen Anthony also was named Mid-Con co-Coach of the Year.
Valpo Picked Third in Preseason Poll: The Crusaders were selected third in the Mid-Continent Conference preseason poll conducted of the league's head coaches. Valpo earned two first place votes but finished one point behind Oral Roberts in the race for second. Oakland is the preseason favorite.

Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Surfing the Internet is akin to visiting a flea market in that you can find incredibly bizarre goods for sale: twenty-five pound gummy bears, "Daddles" (a saddle for the father in your life), placenta teddy bears… Earlier this month, while browsing the Internet aisles, Nick Bergus of Iowa City, Iowa, stumbled upon (or slipped on) a 55-gallon vat of sexual lubricant. Amused, amazed, and perhaps perturbed, he posted a link to the item's Amazon page on Facebook, captioning it humorously: "For Valentine's Day. And every day. For the rest of your life."
In a post on his blog, How I became Amazon's pitchman for a 55-gallon drum of personal lubricant on Facebook (via Gawker), Bergus says that he and the drum of lube started showing up repeatedly in his friends' Facebook news feeds as a "Sponsored Story," changing the context of the link from a humorous posting to a sales pitch. Bergus writes:
I'm partially amused that Amazon is paying for this, but I'm also sorta annoyed. Of course Facebook is happily selling me out to advertisers. That's its business. That's what you sign up for when make an account. But in the context of a sponsored story, some of the context in which it was a joke is lost, and I've started to wonder how many people now see me as the pitchman for a 55-gallon drum of lube.
via Nick Bergus » How I became Amazon's pitchman for a 55-gallon drum of personal lubricant on Facebook.
This is part of the reason why a group of Facebook users have filed a class action lawsuit against Facebook over Sponsored Stories. They object to the company using their names and likenesses in ads while giving them no opportunity to opt out. That suit is still pending.
Bergus's anecdote is interesting in highlighting that Sponsored Stories aren't based solely on 'Likes.' Simply posting a link to a page, checking into a location, or writing a comment on an event's wall can turn you into a spokesman, as noted here. If there's no context screening, that means you might link to something because you're outraged about it, and then later wind up 'promoting' it to your friends. (So be careful about what you link to, my friends)
One way Bergus could stop being the sex drum's Gerber Baby would be to delete his Valentine's Day post about it. I asked him if he had done that, but he says he has not.
Here in Brazil, while browsing the Internet aisles, we also may not stumble upon on a offer of …. 55-gallon vat of sexual lubricant. but we encounter a lot of bizarre posts on that issue.
One may think that would be only humorous postings, but as you say on your article, could be a…. a way of improve their business sales…
Would it possible like you state that posting a link to a page, may turn you into a spokesman, my goodness. how come…
Blame the victim Kashmir?
There was a time when people HAD rights…. rights to privacy, rights to civil disobedience, rights of free speech…. NOW we have click-through EULAs and "Privacy" statements…. Your name is stolen…. your ID is stolen…. and NOW people advertise products WITHOUT consent to earn a Social Media Mega-Company a buck.
But I do agree Kashmir, the American social Media consumer NEEDS to take charge… as soon as they find the OFF switch. I did… I got off Facebook 2 years ago and haven't missed participating in ONE of the Facebook Security scams for dollars. Now if I could just figure out how to post a comment on Forbes WITHOUT Forbes getting Page View dollars… I'd truly be…. FREE!
The story in this morning's LA Times about "Hitmanforhire.net" has a similar ring to it. Accessing a site out of curiosity could result in an interview under a hot lamp. Yesterday I asked a question on Facebook under a Mark Zuckerberg link (yeah, he's my friend) and some girl in Ohio told me to go F myself. That lube would have come in handy for that I guess.
So us facebook users should start using alternate formations on our comments, akin to spelling out email addresses "my name at gmail dot com"? "Forbes is way better than M*n ee Magazine!" Of course, if enough of us starting doing that, I'm sure the facebook developers will start writing some algorithms to parse it back together.

The Charlotte Observer (MCT)
This week's "Ask the Mompreneur" features an interview with Juan Garzon, a Charlotte, N.C.-based sales communication strategist.
QUESTION: Millions of small business owners watched this year's Super Bowl, with its commercials being the highlight for some. CNN Money reports that a 30-second spot this year went for a record-high $4 million. What can we learn from these "best of the best" ads for our own companies?
ANSWER: As entrepreneurs, we don't have the luxury of having separate public relations, marketing and sales departments. We try to get the word out about our businesses any way we can, whether we're pitching clients, networking, or sending out press releases. So how can we make sure our own brand message is effective when we are out there beating the streets?
To see examples of messages that work, and some that do not, we don't have to look any further than this year's Super Bowl ads. Sure, some were confusing - is it really about time you had a favorite T-shirt? - and some were just plain weird, like the GoDaddy.com kiss. But a few standouts hold key lessons in creating effective messaging that you can use in promoting your own small business.
1. Know your audience. Knowing your audience goes beyond demographics like age or income level. It means really getting to know what makes them happy and excited, what concerns or preconceptions they have about your product or service, and what makes them tick. You can often do this by just asking questions and simply listening more while selling less.
A good example of understanding your audience was the Best Buy spot with actress Amy Poehler. Sure, the "Parks & Recreation" star is technically a celebrity, but she's one that we can all relate to. She's like many of us, who want the gizmos and gadgets Best Buy sells, but who may also have a few questions about them. To Amy (and to us), Best Buy says, "We get you, and we can help you."
2. Define your objective. What do you want to happen as a result of your message? By setting a clear objective, you can ensure that your message stays focused and that its effectiveness can be measured. One way to do this is to ask yourself three questions:
-What do I want them to know?
-What do I want them to feel?
-What do I want them to do?
One interesting example of this is Mercedes-Benz's "Soul" ad. They want you to know that they have a new class of sports car for under $30,000. They want you to feel like all the privileges of driving a Mercedes - fame, women, cool dance moves - are attainable without having to sell your soul. And like the main character, you can buy or lease one today.
3. Tell a story. Science has shown us that the best way to reach people on an emotional level is to engage them with a story. We are evolutionarily hard-wired to respond to stories, and hearing them helps activate our entire brain. When we listen to a story, we automatically try to relate it to our own experiences, making the message more personal to us. Stories help us break down and digest complex ideas as simple narratives.
Many of the Super Bowl commercials had story elements in them, including the two we've mentioned. But Tide's "Miracle Stain" stands out, with a San Francisco 49ers fan's rise to glory building up to a twist ending. The story speaks to sports fans and reinforces Tide's tagline: "No Stain is Sacred."

For a parent, or close relative to a victim, there are little, if any, more terrible and deadly accidents than those that involve water. Being submerged and dying is probably one of the most terrifying accidents our firm has dealt with, the nexus of which, are typically on both private and public property. Typical locations where they occur include private homes, unsecured yards, or insufficient security at swimming pools. In fact, failure to enforce restrictions, such as those found at condominiums, inns, motels, hotels, water parks, cruise ships, amusement centers, and various other modalities is a common way to show negligence or even a crime.
When an owner or occupier, such as a landlord, or even a manager in charge, shirks their lawful duty to provide security, or make reasonable inspections and provide safeguards, California law, as well as various local and administrative codes, hold the person in charge legally responsible for the consequences of failing to provide adequate warning signs, for example. Other scenarios making a title holder, or controller responsible, are things like faulty drains that can suck a person down, or slice/cut him or her. Other hazards, especially to kids, are failure to have a secure pool cover, or lifeguards on duty, or malfunctioning or defective gates that in turn, places a small child into the zone of danger. One of the other less often reported incidences of drowning occur at private swimming schools. In additions to poorly trained swim instructors allowing children to drown, some have been accused and convicted of molesting boys and girls in a sexual manner. Ehline Law will research motives to seek punitive damages, if facts come to light of cover ups, for example.
Even assuming the unwilling martyr makes it out of a partial asphyxiation, their physical and emotional condition is often unalterably effected in a negative manner. Being sucked underwater commonly means a serious brain injury, or even a total loss of life. Those who do live find that the deprivation of oxygen to their brain ended up causing unalterable damage to their intelligence. As noted, the vast majority of these "accidents" are caused by a person in authority behaving in a negligent fashion. This is when Ehline Law Firm PC, Los Angeles personal injury attorneys, are sought after by seriously affected victims. With tens upon millions of dollar recovered, and with the firm being run by a competitive swimmer, our firm has been touched by the positive and negative aspects of being submerged in liquid, and we are here with compassion and understanding to assist those in need of a lawyer. We are committed to raising the bar for pool safety and legal representation of those who were not saved with our in depth understanding of the mechanics of liquid submersion incidents.
Signing Your Claim With a Vaunted, Savvy Pool Injury Lawyer
Most accidents arising from pools of water, particularly from swimming pools adjacent to insured property, will result in medical or hospital bills at a minimum. The tired, depressed and shocked victims are in no position to achieve a maximum compensation when the tragedy of drowning incident transpires. This calls for a skilled, intense, and enthusiastic lawyer with peer recognition, who can help you rise up like a phoenix from the ashes of your life. But all of that is meaningless unless the advocate is also experienced in drowning accidents, not just a run of the mill PI lawyer. Our attorneys have attained recognition in the field of pool and water safety.
In fact, Michael Ehline, is an avid swimmer, and former U.S. Marine. Water safety is in our nature. Ehline Law is also recognized by AVVO, and is A Rated by the BBB. So when you are seeking help, turn to us. Our pilgrimage as practicing lawyers has been as Templar Knights, protecting the rights of the downtrodden and needy injury victim. Our oath is to help American families, as well as guests, obtain monetary rectification after a swimming pool accident case arises. As well as being private practitioners, our attorneys support the goals and ideals of the National Drowning Prevention Association, Kids Health, and more.
With our vast involvement and intrinsic knowledge on the topics of the Los Angeles City and County Health, Residential, Building and Safety Codes and Statutes, endorsements by venerable safety associations, and storied support of drowning prevention organizations, we are proven Personal Injury Warriors. In fact, drowning prevention section at the PI Warriors Magazine. We are simply recognized as a giant among swimming pool attorneys. We are the first and last choice for anyone serious about getting the maximum compensation for their case that was created due to the failure to act or react to prevent water related deluge.
Let Us Help Los Angeles Swimming Pool Accident & Drowning Victims Get Their Just Reward
As sad as it sounds, after your incident, your claims are limited to money damages. Typically, a drowning survivor must file a damages claim or injury lawsuit as against the person or persons who failed to act or react with reasonable care to prevent, or at least mitigate the incident that did, in fact occur.
In this way, you can at least be rewarded the just amount under the law to pay for all the bills that are piling up, for past present and future. Your justice under negligence law is limited to a form of calculated financial compensation. Our firm attempts to right the wrongs within the law, thereby stealing victory from the jaws of defeat. Knowing you are depressed and ill, we step in as your resolute fighter, and take all the necessary steps to hold the public or private entities legally responsible.
Our investigators get to work right away to identify what actions to take against the person or persons who failed in upholding their duty of reasonable or special care. Whether it is a negligent maintenance failure to supervise or secure, failure to properly train or test, whatever it is, we leave no stone unturned in discovering all liable parties.
Much to our chagrin, the majority of these claims involve those to small kids. The torment to moms and dads, brother and sisters, is of the kind that only another who has met the same fate can totally understand. Sadly, the children who lived, often attain some form of devastating, enduring mischief. Our local law firm is dedicated to educating swimmers and Jacuzzi hot tub owners of the dangers and risks of drowning accidents and injuries. Statistics from the Center for Disease Control ("CDC") indicate that there were over three thousand three hundred (3,300) drowning accidents from submersion in water, in the year 2000.
The CDC's Drowning Rate for Kids is Alarming
The drowning rate for children under sixteen (16) was alarming and was actually twenty five (25%) percent of the total of all drowning accident deaths in the United States. According to the CDC, approximately three hundred and fifty (350) children five (5) years of age and under, suffer death from drowning accidents every year. Drowning injury, such as death and coma, is the second highest cause of fatalities for the children five (5) years and under age group. Automobile and truck accidents are the second highest cause of death accident in this age group.
Attorney Warns of the Drowning Dangers
Our lead counsel, Michael P. Ehline, Esq., warns consumers that this is a staggering statistic that cannot be ignored by a caring parent or property owner with a Jacuzzi hot tub, Jacuzzi bathtub, Whirlpool* hot tub, lap pool, or swimming pool. In fact, research statistics show that as of the year 2000, over two thousand, six hundred (2,600) small children are admitted to emergency care in hospitals, and treated for drowning incidents that result in things like brain injury, broken bones and contusions related to poolside accidents.
Nerve Damage
At least five thousand (5,000) additional small children suffer permanent injury like nerve damage requiring future medical care and treatment and expensive in house care or hospitalization for the permanent neurological disability. Most drowning occurs in backyard hot tubs, like Whirlpools, spas and other types of recreational water tubs including your basic swimming pools, like shallow lap pools, for example.
Land owners with pools and exposed or open Jacuzzi hot tubs, generic hot tubs, Whirlpool hot tubs in their back yard are usually mandated by California law to fence the area surrounding the pool and to have special child proof gates and access areas.
Some City and County Safety Regulations Require:
- Five (5) Foot or Higher Fences;
- Gates with Building and Safety Code Certified Safety Standards;
- Latches.
A Reasonable Pool and Jacuzzi Hot Tub Owner Should Also Install and Maintain:
- Infra Red Motion Detectors;
- Snug Pool Covers Children Cannot Sink Underneath;
- Closed Circuit Camera Systems in Their Recreational Pool Areas.
These accidents also include slip and fall on a slippery and slimy pool decking surface, that was not properly cleaned and/or scrubbed which can easily cause a broken bone orthopedic mishap. All of these premises liability injuries are complex and difficult to litigate.
Emotions Can Make a Non Represented Party Lose the Case
These death and injury claims are also very emotional, requiring a level headed legal counselor to give a degree of separation between emotional parents and loved ones, and the tort wrongdoer, property owner. Issues like negligence per se, for violation building and safety code sections, must be expertly explored as well.
How Can I Recover Compensation?
Getting a judgment for negligence in California courts often requires safety experts, accident re-constructionists, forensic experts. This can be expensive and that is why Ehline Law Firm PC, works on a contingency fee and advances all costs. This means no recovery no fee. You don't pay us unless we recover for your serious tort cases.
Other Issues
But you must act quickly to avoid allowing the statute of limitations expiring. This is especially true if the swimming pool is a recreational public swimming pool, as the statute of limitations in government agency lawsuits is often only six (6) months! We are the firm with excellence and expertise far beyond that of cheap attorneys who seem to permeate all California cities and metropolitan areas.
We actively assist the drowning survivors in the pre-litigation process, all the way to trial, if need be. We stay active in the entire legal process on behalf of the victims. So if you were touched by a pool accident, one at an apartment complex, a house, or commercial property, or event, we will sweep in to demand increased the safety requirements for pool managers, operator and owners within the greater LA locales. Michael Ehline, our lead counsel, is a nationally acclaimed writer, radio and TV commentator.
He is actively engaged in many forms of aquatic lawsuits and insurance claims, and understands all aspects of private and public safety issues, and the various laws and legislation surrounding swimming pools. If your child was drowned during a school excursion, or summer camp, for example, that release of liability, does not insulate pool owners, or the school from their own negligence. This also includes kids being burned or drowned in spas, or hot tubs. Where danger lurks, Ehline is the master of disasters at your beckon call to fight for you and yours.

Los Angeles is a fun place. It seems often like summer is a year round event. So the mere fact, people are swimming a lot more means more chances for suffocation or engulfment by water. This is compounded by the fact that L.A. is a magnet for tourists who like to attend waterparks like Raging Waters, Hurricane Harbor, and so on and so forth.
Making matter worse, when the summertime does finally arrive, the crowds and pools and parks increase exponentially. So when the sun comes out more, the chances of a bad injury also rises. This means the recognized danger zone is made even more dangerous in the City of Angels when things start to heat up outside. We can all remember being young and frequenting pools at high noon at summer school, or camp. Many of us recall going to the beach or public pools at the height of summer vacation. There is so much going on, it is often hard to recognize the dangers present at these bodies of water. Ehline Law Firm gets it. We cut right to the heart of matter quickly, and start pressuring those with the deep pockets to pay up. And we work on a no fee to us till you get paid policy.

UPDATE: Monday, December 3, 2012
Two men have been charged in the killing of a U.S. Coast Guardsman whose crew was chasing a vessel suspected of being laden with drugs off the California coast.
Jose Meija Leyva and Manuel Beltran Higuera were charged Monday in Los Angeles with killing a federal officer while the officer was on duty. They are in custody and were expected to appear in court later Monday.
The men are charged in the killing of 34-year-old Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne, who died Sunday after he was struck in the head by the suspect vessel near the Channel Islands, west of Los Angeles.
Monday, December 3, 2012
The commanding officer of the U.S Coast Guard cutter Halibut says he is devastated by death of a crewmember in a collision between a suspected smuggling boat and a small Coast Guard boat off Southern California.
Lt. Stewart Sibert has told a press conference in Marina del Rey, Calif., that Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III was the "glue" that held his crew together.
Horne suffered a fatal head injury Sunday when the suspect boat rammed an inflatable chase boat deployed from the Halibut in a drug interdiction operation.
In an emotional statement, Sibert credited Horne with saving three lives a few months ago while responding to a sailboat in trouble during terrible sea conditions, and likely many more lives over his career.

Matthew de Paula, Contributor
I offer thoughtful coverage of the auto industry.
While most other automakers are pursuing hybrids and electric vehicles as the way to a more fuel-efficient future, Mazda is focusing on diesel technology. It's a critical decision as the Japanese automaker works to transform itself from an underdog into a market leader.
The company announced at the L.A. Auto Show that the U.S. version of its Mazda 6 midsize sedan, which got a major redesign for the 2014 model year, will offer a new four-cylinder diesel engine, in addition to a conventional four-cylinder gasoline engine.
Though Mazda was upstaged in L.A. by all the hype around Honda's new Accord Plug-In Hybrid and electric cars from BMW, Chevrolet and Fiat, offering a diesel engine in the Mazda 6 marks a significant milestone for the company. The previous version of the Mazda 6 did not give U.S. buyers a diesel option, and the 2014 model will be one of only two midsize sedans available with a diesel engine stateside, the other being the Volkswagen Passat.
Mazda is so confident in its diesel technology that it will race a version of the diesel-powered Mazda 6 capable of making more than 400 horsepower in the Grand-Am Road Racing series next year, starting in January. The car will compete in the newly created GX class.
Mazda has not said how much power the consumer version of the new diesel four-cylinder will generate. But it did say that the engine is 10 percent lighter than a 2.2-liter diesel engine currently sold in markets outside the U.S. and that it runs clean enough not to require complicated exhaust treatments to meet emissions regulations.
Though Mazda is not offering a hybrid version of the new 6 sedan, it is including some fuel-saving technology that is unlike anything currently available. A regenerative braking system it calls i-ELOOP, which stands for Intelligent Energy Loop, uses a capacitor to gather and store kinetic energy generated while braking and decelerating.
Current regenerative braking systems use an alternator or electric motor connected to a battery pack. By using a capacitor instead, Mazda saves weight and space and, unlike a battery, it can charge and discharge instantly without deteriorating during prolonged use.
The capacitor will power electrical components such as the air conditioning and stereo, which are normally powered by an alternator connected to the engine. Mazda says it expects i-ELOOP will improve fuel economy, but how much depends on road conditions and driving habits.
Even without the fancy technology, the stylish new Mazda 6 is appealing. It has a more premium look and feel than the model it replaces, as discussed in more detail here. The gas-powered version, which makes 189 hp, goes on sale in January with the diesel following midyear. Both will be front-wheel drive. Pricing has not been announced.
The redesigned Mazda 6 made its debut at the Moscow International Motor Show in August, but the L.A. Auto Show marks its first appearance in the United States.
It competes with midsize sedans such as the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Passat. But the Passat is the only competitor with a diesel engine, which represents about a fifth of its sales.
Diesels and hybrids make up a very small percentage of U.S. auto sales, but their popularity is on the rise. In the first half, diesel sales increased roughly 28 percent over the same period last year, and hybrid sales increased nearly 64 percent, according to data from the Diesel Technology Forum. That compares with a 15 percent increase in overall car sales during that period.

The SkyActiv-D engine has a significative advantage, since the EPA-mandated cooled EGR and the DPF end up prejudicing the fuel-efficiency. It's worth noting that the EGR itself, intended to decrease the NOx emissions, leads to an increase in the soot emissions, then the DPF clogs more frequently, requiring more regeneration cycles. It's also worth noting how hard it is to keep the EGR valve body in good condition, since it tends to clog.
I plan to buy one. Anyone who doesnt want a long lasting diesel engine with 56mpg is a close-minded sheep.

The Times-Tribune
By John L. Ross / Staff Writer
A couple indicted more than a year ago on child abuse charges appeared in Whitley County Circuit Court before Judge Dan Ballou Tuesday.
One will be sentenced — the other's charges were dropped.
Jason Witt, 32, and Jonni Witt, 29, of Williamsburg, each faced two counts of first-degree child abuse against a child under age 12.
Jason Witt, represented by Public Defender Ron Findell, pleaded guilty to two amended charges of third-degree child abuse and will now face sentencing June 3.
Jonni Witt's case will likely be dismissed, according to the circuit clerk's office. She was represented by Attorney C. Wayne Shepherd.
Court documents indicate Jason Witt "caused severe physical injury to a child under the age of 12 years, and/or caused torture, cruel confinement and/or cruel punishment."
Jonni Witt's indictment states the charges against her were levied because she permitted the abuse to occur.

Nose: Calves leather, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, hints of cedar, pipe tobacco, fruit, chocolate and brandy butter.
Palate: Absolutely amazing intensity with waves of soft brown sugar, toffee, spicy oak, cedar and pipe tobacco.
Finish: Long, warming finish in sweet, soft spices.
This is great but the beauty of the 23 yo is the abundance of flavour. I like the XO but I LOVE the 23!!
7th February 2014
I like the 23yr old better, smoother finish and bold flavor better..
29th June 2013
Very sweet. Very flowery.
A lot of different flowery tastes layered upon each other.
I'm sure women in general will love this.
You definetely should try it, even if you are a man, it is pretty likely that you will fall in love with it.
Personally, I think it has one too many flowery notes.

Have been trying the top end of rum since getting hooked in the last decade. i was lucky enough to buy a bottle of this for 45 quid in duty free,so gets my 10/10. I struggled to get strong notes of any of the above which to me makes it the most mellow and pleasant experience I have ever had tasting high grade rum. The master blender has achieved close to perfection without bringing out any over stong flavours making it too distinctive making it very smooth and memorable on the palate. Have tryed very many cuban and carribean rums, this sets the standard so far but will not give up trying to better it. Cheaper alternative is diplomatico 15 year special reserve from venezuala, great value and a regular in he cabinet of mine. I have tryed the 23 year old zacapa and this I would rate a 9/10, two gorgeous rums, but as a one of treat I will keep revisiting the xo.
3rd November 2012
Copper gold. Quite a mellow nose. I see where the MoM taster is going, but I can't get anything like those nuances. Still, it smells good. Sweet, chocolate taste, a little smoke, lots of woody spice. Perhaps there is a hint of tobacco. Very long finish. Great stuff, but better value is to be found elsewhere.
31st May 2012
My tasting notes were pretty different to those given above. I got a nose of honey, molasses and burnt newspaper, which surprisingly smells really really good! The honey and mollases was present in the palate too, along with a fruity sweetness, though I couldn't put my finger on one particular fruit. The finish is pretty long and warming but I got a more peppery note as I moved it around my tongue. The whole experience was great though, it is the smoothest, most complex and most delicious rum I have had so far. The reason I don't score it higher though is because it is also the most expensive rum I have tried so far, and by some margin. Although it is great, and I can't stress that enough, it is GREAT, I am struggling to justify to myself getting a bottle because of the hefty price tag.

A new forecast for this year's wheat harvest is lower than recent years. It precicts a Kansas harvest of 313 - million bushels.
The Wheat Quality Council made those calculations based on 570 stops in Kansas wheat fields.
For comparison the Kansas wheat harvest averaged 349 million bushels each year from 2008 - 2012 based on USDA numbers.
Executive Vice President of the Wheat Quality Council, Ben Handcock says, "The farmers I talked to think that the drought is the biggest issue that they have. The freeze certainly didn't help any. The drought, they think, is the deciding factor."
Handcock says the last thing this crop needs is another freeze tonight. What it will need is continuing rain as the crop moves towards a later than normal harvest date, he says.
