Cellar/Tasting Notes "White currants, honeyed citrus, and melons are present in this medium-bodied, richly fruity, slightly smoky white Graves. It should drink nicely for 5-7 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Sigalas Rabaud was sensational out of barrel and served blind, the wine does nothing to dispel my initial optimism that this is the apogee for the estate – so far.

Blueberry pie, blueberry cobbler, blueberry pancakes.
They're definitely a summer treat.
Blueberries not only provide scrumptious, antioxidant-rich berries, but blueberry shrubs also add year-round interest to the landscape.
This summer fruit is easy to grow and requires minimum care in the garden. To help homeowners grow and care for their own blueberries, the garden experts at offer these tips:
- Even though blueberries produce their fruit in the summer months, it is not too late to begin planting them now. Plant yours in a spot that receives full sunlight, either in the garden or in a large pot.
- To thrive, blueberries need a nutrient-rich soil with good drainage. If planting in the garden, mix the native soil with Pike Planting Mix at a 50/50 ratio. This helps break up the hard Georgia red clay and allows for better drainage.
- To protect your berries from birds, cover your blueberry shrub with bird netting as soon as the berries start to appear.
- Blueberries come in many different varieties. A few of the best options for Georgia gardeners are O'Neal blueberries, Burgundy Wild Lowbush blueberries, Top Hat blueberries and Patriot Early Season blueberries. All of these varieties are carried at .
- The easiest way to pick your berries is to hold a bucket underneath a cluster in one hand, and gently pull bunches at a time with the other hand. The ripe berries will easily fall off the branches, while the berries that aren't fully ripened will remain attached to the bush.
- The biggest clue in determining if a berry is ripe is its color. Ripe berries will be plump with a light blue or gray color. If there is still a hint of red in the berry, it isn't fully ripened yet.
Whether eating them fresh out of the bucket or incorporating them into everyday cooking, gardeners can take full advantage of the fruits of their labor. Below are two delicious recipe ideas that incorporate blueberries, courtesy of Emily Greer, Personal Chef.
Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake
Cake ingredients:
2 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
½ cups butter
¾ cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups blueberries
Topping ingredients:
½ cup sugar
⅓ cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ cup cold butter
Cream butter and sugar in a bowl of stand mixer. When light and fluffy, add egg and mix thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with milk. Stir in vanilla and blueberries. Pour into greased and floured 9X9 baking dish. For topping, cut butter into dry ingredients with pastry blender or pulse in food processor until small crumbs form. Sprinkle over top of batter and bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Blueberry-Lemon Compote
Custard ingredients:
1 ½ tsp. unflavored gelatin
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
7 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ¾ cups buttermilk
Compote ingredients:
1 pint fresh blueberries
¼ cup sugar
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
⅛ tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. water
Combine first 4 ingredients in saucepan and heat to just simmering. Cook until berries turn deep purple. Stir together cornstarch and water in a separate bowl to make a slurry. While berries are simmering, slowly add cornstarch mixture while stirring until desired consistency is reached (you may not use all of it). Compote should be like melted jam. Cool completely and chill.
Soften gelatin in 1 tbsp. cold water in a medium bowl for about 5 minutes. Warm cream and sugar over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, 3-5 minutes, then stir into bowl with gelatin. Stir in buttermilk, then strain into another bowl. Pour custard among six 8 oz. ramekins and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours. Serve in ramekins or, to unmold, dip ramekins into a dish of hot water, then flip over onto chilled plate. Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest. Serve with your favorite shortbread cookies.

Associated Press
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Carlos Beltran homering from each side of the plate Saturday was hardly a shocker, since he had done it 10 times before.
But Lance Lynn's two-run single? That was unprecedented.
Both contributed offensively as the St. Louis Cardinals survived a slugfest against the lowest-scoring team in the major leagues and beat the Miami Marlins 13-7. Beltran homered twice and tripled, while Lynn (9-1) notched the victory despite allowing a career-high seven runs in five innings.
The Cardinals scored five runs in the first, then found themselves at 6-all in the second before pulling away. Even for the hitters, the game was no fun, Beltran said.
"I felt like I was out there playing defense for four hours," he said. "It's one of those days where you have to grind and try to find a way to stay in the game."
Manager Mike Matheny agreed.
"It felt like a doubleheader," he said.
Swinging left-handed, Beltran hit his 15th home run in the second inning and tripled for the first time since May 2012 in the eighth. He hit another home run from the right side in the ninth.
Beltran extended the longest active hitting streak in the NL to 14 games and raised his average to .311.
"I feel great," he said. "I've been healthy, and good things are happening for me and the team."
The Cardinals tied a season high with 17 hits. Yadier Molina singled home two runs in their big first inning, and David Freese's fourth homer in the third inning put them ahead to stay.
It's the fifth time this season the Cardinals have scored at least nine runs when Lynn has started, and this time he contributed himself, delivering a two-out single off Ryan Webb to make the score 9-6.
Blue Jays6, Rangers 1: ARLINGTON, Texas — Adam Lind and Colby Rasmus both hit two-run homers and the Toronto Blue Jays won their fourth game in a row, beat the sliding Rangers 6-1 on Saturday.
Even with the unexpected early return of second baseman Ian Kinsler from his rehabilitation assignment, the Rangers' season-long losing streak reached five games. All of those losses are at home, and they've dropped 10 of 14 overall to fall out of first place in the AL West.
Lind put the Blue Jays ahead to stay in the first, when his seventh homer of the season ricocheted high off pole down the right field line. Rasmus hit his 12th homer, and second in two games, in the fourth to make it 4-0.
Those homers accounted for all four runs off Josh Lindblom (0-2), who went six innings on his 26th birthday.
R.A. Dickey (6-8) gave up one run in 5 2-3 innings.
Rays 5, Royals 3: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tampa Bay right-hander Alex Cobb was taken off the field on a stretcher after he was hit on the right ear by a liner off the bat of Kansas City's Eric Hosmer in the fifth inning of the Rays' 5-3 win over the Royals on Saturday.
The Rays announced that Cobb, who remained conscious the whole time, was taken to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg for further examination. Rays spokesman Rick Vaughn later said all tests were normal and that Cobb suffered a mild concussion.
Luke Scott, Matt Joyce and Evan Longoria homered for the Rays, who had lost five of six. Alex Torres (2-0) replaced Cobb and struck out four over 1 2-3 scoreless innings. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 19 opportunities.
Joyce hit a solo homer off Jeremy Guthrie (7-4) in the fifth that put the Rays up 4-2.
Astros 4, White Sox 3: HOUSTON — Jason Castro and Chris Carter homered in the fourth inning to give Houston the lead and the Astros held on for a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night.
The game was tied at 1-1 when Castro launched a solo homer into the bullpen in right-center to start the fourth inning. Carter's one-out homer clanged off the foul pole in left field to extend the lead to 3-1 and leave starter John Danks (1-3) shaking his head.
Brandon Barnes's double drove in a run in the fifth inning to make it 4-1.
Adam Dunn hit his 18th homer to start the seventh and Gordon Beckham's ground-rule double made it 4-3.
Harrell (5-7) allowed seven hits and three runs with a season-high seven strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings.
Danks yielded five hits and four runs in six-plus innings.

Special to The Leader
The Orange Leader
The Vidor Rotary Club is gearing up once more for their annual community-wide garage sale, to be held on Saturday, Nov. 16 in Woods' Plaza parking lot. The sale will run from 8 a.m. until noon, and patrons can purchase booths for only $10 each. The booth is the size of a parking space. Rotary will do all the advertising and number the spaces. Patrons and groups just need to bring whatever they want to sell.
"We encourage school and church groups as well as individuals to come out and have a booth," said Rotary President Tim Andrews. "Last fall's sale was a lot of fun and we had a good turnout. People can sell food, crafts, and of course, garage sale items. It could just be a really good fundraiser for a group or someone looking to make some Christmas money."
Forms to register for the sale are available from Sally Andrews at Vidor School Administration or Karen Tipton at Capital One Bank. Payment must be made at the time of the booth registration, and space numbers will be assigned then. Tables and chairs must be provided by the seller. Electricity is not available.
"Each space is a pretty good size. You can actually get five tables in a spot," Andrews added.
He goes on to state that proceeds from the sale will be used to support Vidor Rotary's green bus Read and Feed program, which takes meals and books to children and youth in Vidor. The green bus will be on hand at the sale, giving out free books to any children who attend the sale with their parents.
For further information, call Sally Andrews at 409-951-8713.

Basic Research
Work in the basic research laboratory of Dr. Victor Ruiz-Velasco is focused on the study of mechanisms by which second messengers, particularly G proteins, modulate voltage-dependent N-type Ca2+ channels. Several electrophysiological, biochemical and molecular approaches are employed to help us understand these signaling pathways. Dissociated stellate ganglion neurons are used as our model system (Neurosci. Lett. 363: 252-256, 2004). This ganglion provides the main sympathetic input to the heart.
Presently, the main focus of the laboratory is to study the neuronal signaling pathways by which the endogenous opioid peptide nociceptin regulates stellate ganglion neuron excitability (J. Pharm. Exp. Ther. 314: 987-994, 2005). Nociceptin activates the opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL1) G protein-coupled receptor. Currently, we are trying to determine the specific G-protein components and regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) that couple ORL1 receptors with N-type Ca2+ channels. In addition, we are investigating whether ORL1 receptors are capable of dimerizing with each other and with other "classical" opioid receptors. Accordingly, the goal of this research is to understand the signaling events associated with nociceptin-activated ORL1 receptors and regulation of heart rate and contractility.

Living life to extremes is what it's all about for eighteen year old Casey James.
"In the summer I go longboarding, ride BMX, and wakeboard a lot," James said.
In winter he's a wildman on a snowboard. But he always wears protection for his kidney with a kidney belt.
"In here it's a hard plastic piece. That just protects my kidney up front," he said.
In the front, instead of in the back, is where his mother's adult size kidney fit. It saved Casey's life when he was just three.
"You think...that you've got this great match, but it's a double edged sword," said Jo James, Casey's mother.
That's because the medications that keep Casey's body from rejecting her kidney, will eventually wear the kidney out. More than risky sports, the specter of future transplants worries his mother.
"It scares me being a mom, because the next one could be five years, and the next one could be ten years. Well he's still only 18. How many more can he have?" she asked.
"When we look at transplanting a child, we're looking at that child, in their lifetime, is going to need three perhaps four transplants," explained Dr. Ruth McDonald.
Dr. Ruth McDonald is Medical Director of Solid Organ Transplant at Seattle Children's. She's been Casey's doctor since he was two. She's thrilled Facebook is encouraging users to list their organ donor status.
"It is communicating in a way that young people are used to communicating. They're using Facebook. And I think it's really awesome," Dr. McDonald said.
Casey will count on those connections. In his bucket list for his future, which he said includes working in cinematography and art, he'll have to leave some space for a transplant along with his dreams. He said he'll go with the flow.
"I want to live my life to the fullest, live life as it comes, have fun," he said.
Dr. McDonald said the aim of research now is to develop medicines that could keep a child's body from rejecting a transplanted kidney without damaging the organ.

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004), better known by his shortened stage name Ray Charles, was an American musician. Ray was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm & blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his "Modern Sounds" albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company. Almost immediately after signing with Atlantic, Charles scored his first hit singles. "M... Continue Bio >>

text: Our co-workers warned us. "Sturgis is like cheap tequila," said Tim Carrithers. "Try too much the first time and you'll never touch it again." Brian Catterson was less ambiguous: "Get ready for lots of bare breasts. Unfortunately, most you won't want to see..." Neither of us had much enthusiasm for the booze-boobs-and-bellies lifestyle, thus we typically avoided large biker rallies. The two of us "Sturgins"—shorthand for Sturgis virgins—looked forward to our maiden voyage to the 71st Annual Black Hills Motorcycle Rally with a mixture of boredom and loathing. "I just want to get through this without getting my nose ring yanked out," was Aaron's sole request. With such sentiments weighing on us, we felt something like relief when the Rapid City Holiday Inn's fire alarm went off at 5:00 a.m. the first morning of the rally. This is a fire alarm, a robo-voice blared from the flashing wall unit. Exit the building while we investigate. We just pulled our pillows over our heads and went back to sleep. Death by fire seemed like an acceptable alternative to spending the day in Sturgis… Two modern-day gunslingers, straddling chrome-and-steel horses, roll into the dusty Wild West town. So rugged. So individualistic. So desperate for a place to park. Two modern-day gunslingers, straddling chrome-and-steel horses, roll into the dusty Wild W It's Not a Motorcycle, It's a Chopper The fiery inferno turned out to be a false alarm, so we accepted the inevitable and aimed our Wild Hogs north toward Sturgis. Aaron hit the highway old-school on a raked and flamed Wide Glide, while Ari went the hipster-bobber route mounted on a Nightster 1200. Step one to avoid detection is blending in, right? Recently furloughed from separate, Harley- and Victory-sanctioned press launches, we stood out in our full-coverage protective riding gear, so stopped at the first roadside vendor on the way to Deadwood to purchase some proper Sturgis camouflage. A bitchin' biker costume begins with the right sleeveless "blowout shirt." Just like Cal Naughton's tuxedo T-shirt, the blowout is classy and casual at the same time. Button-down collars are formal, but fringed armholes say we're here to party! Bypassing questionable choices like one reading "F**k you, I have enough friends." or an American-flag embossed "Try burning this one, a**hole!," Aaron selected a black-and-white tie-dye with a chopper/guns graphic, while Ari opted for a classic jungle-camo pattern with a pinup girl/atomic bomb motif. Donning our "Sturgis Capes" closed a circuit in our brains and calmed our nerves, enabling us to ride into the lions' den of Main Street. Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em! The self-proclaimed "City of Riders" looked more like a "City of Idlers" when we finally rolled into town. Our first pass down the 12-block stretch of Lazelle Street that anchors Sturgis' commercial scene took a half-hour due to the crowds of bikes, bikers, pedestrians and slow-moving rental cars full of rubber-necking tourists. Oh, well—the better to watch an endlessly varied procession of motorcycles, everything from candy-chromed choppers to grimy rat-bikes to homebuilt trikes and V8-powered behemoths. When we tired of the mechanical sideshow, we shifted our gaze 90 degrees starboard to check out the sidewalk parade. Reading T-shirts—witty, raunchy, courageous or all of the above—was always entertaining. Almost as much fun was eyeballing the amazing variety of bodies held within—occasionally gorgeous, more often grotesque. The tiny town of 5981 residents looked to be positively overrun with tattooed biker trash and their tag-along tramps—or at least dentists and paralegals ready to play those roles for the next week or so. Lawns were carpeted with tents and vendor stalls, and driveways were transformed into Harley-only oil-changing stations. The situation was slightly more manageable on Main Street, which was closed to everything but motorcycles. Bikes were parked "Sturgis-style" along both curbs and straddling the centerline, leaving paths just wide enough for two to pass by. Overgrown rent-a-cops in gray polo shirts were posted at every intersection, keeping the action orderly. Looking for something a bit more rambunctious, we returned to Lazelle Street and rode right through the front door of the world-famous Broken Spoke Saloon, drawn like moths to a flame by the hand-lettered sign advertising "BURNOUT PIT!" Even at 2:00 p.m. the "World's Biggest Biker Bar" is firing on both cylinders. Nearly naked go-go dancers grind against one another on the bar, while glassy-eyed, gorilla-sized goons pound Jack-and-Cokes and glare at Aaron's "booger jewelry" like they want to rip it from his face. Anxious to cut the tension and build some credibility with the local crew, we make our way to the burnout pit at the center courtyard. The square slab of concrete is covered with skid marks and an ominous-looking oil stain. "Yeah, some knucklehead's Knucklehead puked its guts last night," Broken Spoke owner and emcee Jay Allen tells us. "Now, let's line up those shiny new Harleys…" Pasties, tye-dye T-shirts and free marijuana samples: Stalls along Lazelle Street offer up everything for the badass biker. The only other event that rivals it is Mardi Gras. Pasties, tye-dye T-shirts and free marijuana samples: Stalls along Lazelle Street offer up Yes, they really will let anyone shoot those things!

I drive by Bowled every day and finally stopped in today to check you folks out. I was super impressed with every detail!

Congrats and kudos to everyone there: you're a first class operation and I'm looking forward to my next meal there, and will make it a point to travel from Bradenton with friends to patronize Bowled!

Bowled Restaurant Review
Bowled, a new casual
restaurant in St. Petersburg,
hits the right notes
...Cecere and staff are doing dozens of things right. Service is warm and efficient, moms and their toddlers feeling just as welcomed as business lunchers. The interior is cheery, with a caramel-chocolate-black color scheme, comfortable booths and easy-wipe tables.
I jumped the gun a little bit, my first visit while chef Matt Cummings (formerly at Cafe Ponte) was still getting his bearings. He seemed to have hit his stride on my second visit, impressive since the menu globe-trots all over the place, loosely organized by dishes that you can serve in bowls.
The New Bowled Gets a Strike!
Bowled is a nouveaux cuisine bistro whose menu is as eclectic as it is tasty. The name comes from the fact that one of its main menu sections is a sampling of great dishes all served in large bowls.

NORMAN — The Norman Chamber of Commerce, along with Success by 6 and Oklahoma Champions for Early Opportunities will host "Early Learning is Good Business" breakfast from 8-9:30 a.m. on July 17 at J.D. McCarty Center. This free event is open to the public.
Attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about how supporting the early learning of young children provides a significant return on investment by saving costs and increasing productivity.
This event will share the perspectives of diverse experts from our community. The featured keynote speaker will be Bill Burgess, Chairman Elect of the Oklahoma Business Roundtable.
A panel of local professionals will share their perspective on the economic impact of early childhood investments.
"Early childhood development programs are rarely portrayed as economic development initiatives, and … that is a mistake." "In the future, any proposed economic development . . . should have early childhood education at the top," he says. "The return on investment from early childhood development is extraordinary, resulting in better working public schools, more educated workers and less crime," Arthur J. Rolnick, Senior Vice President & Director of Research, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
To ensure you have a seat, please register by July 12 by contacting Erica Millar at 321-7260 or firstname.lastname@example.com
The project described is supported by Grant Number 90SC0008 from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Real Estate Value | How to price your home in Minnetonka
There are a lot of common denominator's that are the same no matter what price range your home is in but I want to cover a few of the differences within the different price ranges. You want to know what the current market real estate market is in Minnetonka before you can accurately price your home. Every city and neighborhood is different so you want to look within 2 miles of your current home for sold properties that are the closest to your home. That's with the appraiser is going to do to determine your value. They will look at square footage, foundation sizes, number of bedrooms and baths; along with a host of other things.
What's the current market doing?
Prices are up and from all indications they will continue to trend upward this year. Please keep in mind that this is not a full recovery and you need to know why this is happening. Sometimes what you're reading the newspaper is 100% accurate. Yes it's true that the market is improving but I challenge you to consider that the market is correcting not due to the economy but just the flow of the real estate market. An example would be in 2009 we saw an all-time high of over 47,000 listings for sale in the Twin Cities Metro area. In July 2012 we dipped below 17,000 listings. That was the lowest since around the year 2000. We now have more buyers than we do inventory in certain cities and markets. Minnetonka is no exception and remains to be a very popular place that people want to live.
Homes under $200,000
This is the market that has seen the most amount of growth over the last 12 months. In 2011 the average sale price was $155,000 in the metro area towards the end of 2012 it was $169,000. That's quite a jump but you're not seeing that all over. When considering pricing your home in this range you have to look at the buyers which are mostly first-time homebuyers and what their needs are. There are also investors looking to purchase homes to either flip or keep his rentals. There's a lot of competition for good quality homes which will help you with your value. You want to present a clean and well cared for home no matter what price range are in. You want to be aware of what the foreclosures and short sales are selling for because they are your competition. They may not affect your bottom line when it comes to pricing but you have to be aware of what the buyers are looking at.
Homes between $200,000 and $300,000
This is still a first-time homebuyers market as well as some buyers that are moving up. It still very active but the buyers are starting to look for more amenities in this price range. Square footage and updates become a bigger concern for them. At this point you may want to consider bringing in the stager and you definitely want to make sure that you add some much needed updates. It may not increase the value all that much but it can make the difference between getting your home sold and not selling it. What you have to offer always factors in to what your value is when you're considering it against other properties.
Homes between $300,000 and $400,000
In this range you really have to consider what your amenities are when it comes to pricing your home and you must be aware of new construction. Buyers will be comparing your home against what they can get in new construction. So if you have a traditional home that was built in 1995 and you have not changed the carpet, upgraded the countertops and you still have vinyl flooring this is definitely going to affect your price. A lot of the new construction especially around $350,000 and up will offer the buyer four bedrooms up, finished lower level, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and many other amenities. So you have to come up with a strategy when pricing your home to work toward your strengths. Every single detail that you have done to improve your home counts towards the value. You have to be more appealing than that new construction by showing your value added amenities.
Homes from $400,000 and up
I know that you're thinking this is a very broad price range, I agree with you it is. But there similarities here that need to be talked about. Once you hit $400,000 you really start to see all of the extras come in to play. Buyers are typically moving up from the $300,000 range and are looking for all the extras including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, larger bedrooms, finished lower level, larger yards, landscaping, and the quality of the craftsmanship. You have to remember you're competing with foreclosures that in some cases have lost almost half of their value. So you have to show your value through your amenities and all of the extras. You have to sow the buyer things that are unique to your home that higher-priced homes do not; for example reasonable property taxes.
There is so much more to talk about with this subject of pricing your home to sell in the Minnetonka real estate market but I wanted to hit some of the highlights that should be considered. If you are interested in a free market evaluation we are happy to provide you with one at no obligation, just give us a call.

|Green Plains buys Central City ethanol plant
by Laurie Pfeifer
After sitting in hot-idle mode for five months, the Central City ethanol plant should be back up and running by the end of July.
That's the intent of Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc., the Omaha-based company that entered into a $123.5 million purchase agreement with AgStar Financial Services last week for the ethanol plants located in Central City and Ord.
With the acquisition, Green Plains will become the fourth largest ethanol producer in the United States with production capacity of 480 million gallons per year.
Dwayne Braun, manager of the former VeraSun plant in Central City, said he hopes to be buying corn and selling distillers grain in short order, continuing to build strong relationships with area farmers and giving the ag economy a boost.
Green Plains communications director Jim Stark said the company anticipates having the Central City plant up and running by the end of July.
Before that can happen, however, Stark said the company must complete the purchase and financing documents by the end of June and then have an official closing.
Closing of the transactions is subject to standard conditions, including regulatory approvals and concurrent closing on debt financing.
"But we're going to work right now," Stark added. "We'll be in Central City next week to meet with employees and there are some small upgrades and repairs to do in the meantime."
Before VeraSun filed for bankruptcy protection, Stark said it was his understanding the workforce at the Central City plant stood in the neighborhood of 50 employees.
"Our intent is to hire most, if not all, of those employees," he said.
While the purchase agreement comes as good news for the ethanol plant employees and area corn producers, Braun said it also can be seen as renewed confidence in the ethanol industry.
"When you look at the selling price, it's reassuring that people are still willing to bet on this industry and know we'll provide a good energy source from a Midwest product," he said.
Stark said he also is optimistic about the ethanol industry right now.
"We're starting to see the industry come back and there's now some equilibrium between corn and ethanol prices and margin increases. The timing is good on our part, in light of the Obama administration's efforts to increase the renewable fuels standards," he said in reference to the National Renewable Fuel Standard that establishes new volume requirements for biofuels which must be used in transportation fuels each year to meet the requirements of the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA).
"We're very optimistic about our industry," Stark said.
Todd Becker, Green Plains' president and chief executive officer, said the acquisition of the plants in Central City and Ord will lower their cost of production and improve their ability to compete in the industry.
"This purchase is consistent with our strategy to selectively acquire assets at reasonable valuations that provide long-term benefits to our shareholders," Becker said.
The Green Plains CEO said plants the company is acquiring are in excellent locations.
"Within the 14 contiguous counties surrounding Ord and Central City, there are 300,000 cattle on feed and approximately 300 million bushels of corn grown annually," he said. "This close proximity to large feed operations and vast corn supplies will reduce our energy and feedstock costs at these facilities."
AgStar Financial Services' lending group recently acquired the plants through VeraSun Energy's bankruptcy auction.
"We're pleased to sell these plants to Green Plains Renewable Energy," said Paul DeBriyn, president and CEO of AgStar Financial Services.
"Green Plains is committed to this industry and it's great to know these facilities will soon be producing ethanol. This company has demonstrated its expertise in successfully operating ethanol plants and we are excited to expand our relationship with them."
Becker noted that much of the success of the two plants they are acquiring is dependent on building solid relationships in Central city, Ord and the surrounding areas.
"We look forward to working with lenders in each community and the employees at these facilities," he said.

The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — Baldwin County citizens could soon have extra chances to meet eye-to-eye with County Commissioners.
The board's consensus during Tuesday's work session sees moving a regular meeting out into the community once per quarter as a viable and necessary move.
Commissioner Henry Craig, District 4, opened the discussion. Craig said there are rules to follow, but a community-based board meeting is permissible.
"I'm for it. It's a way to get more people involved," Commissioner Johnny Westmoreland, District 5, said. "If we go out to a fire station or something like that, maybe people will come down and see what's going on instead of coming downtown. We need to get back out in the public."
Commissioner Sammy Hall, District 3, said a change in venue might not translate to a large crowd.
"If you go to my end of the county, people on the north end of the county have to go 20 something miles. They don't come 10 miles to come to the meeting now," Hall said. "It's hard for us to draw a crowd unless people are interested in whatever topic we have on the table."
Westmoreland and Craig said it wouldn't hurt to try community meetings on a district rotation.
County staff would set up the logistics as far as equipment to run the meeting efficiently.
Commissioner Tommy French, District 2, said the board must consider all the factors including staffing and possible security.
Resident Janice Westmoreland, wife of the District 5 commissioner, spoke favorably on the community trips.
"I think it's an excellent idea. Until you try it, you don't understand how important it is for you guys to be willing to go to them instead of them coming (to the courthouse)," she said Tuesday.
Retired Maj. Gen. Peter Boylan commented as well.
"Perhaps this is a way of letting other people know about what happens at a commission meeting, and thereby encourage their interest to participate in the future by coming here. Right now as I see it, it's apathy and ignorance, and perhaps this is a way of addressing that," Boylan said.
County Attorney David McRee said these meetings don't lawfully require security checkpoints like the courthouse.
"It'd be up to you what security requirements you'd like to establish for a meeting away from the courthouse," McRee said.
More discussion follows for the county's possible quarterly fire station meetings.

Is Affirmative Action Fair for College Admittance?
The Supreme Court punts back to a lower court in Texas case.
In 2008, Abigail Noel Fisher (a white Texan) sued the University of Texas at Austin after being denied admittance, claiming she had been marginalized by the institution's practice of affirmative action and citing evidence that less academically qualified individuals were admitted, in part, because of their race.
Today, the United States Supreme Court ruled 7-1 to send her case, Fisher v. University of Texas, back down to the lower courts, where the plaintiff had been previously defeated. Proponents of affirmative action were relieved, having feared the court would make a sweeping decision that could have eliminated the practice of affirmative action altogether.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion urging the lower court to take a more critical look:
Grutter calls for deference to the University's experience and expertise about its educational mission. However, once the University has established that its goal of diversity is consistent with strict scrutiny, the University must prove that the means it chose to attain that diversity are narrowly tailored to its goal. On this point, the University receives no deference.
The lone dissenter, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, compared the case in question to Texas' "Top Ten Percent Law," which guarantees public-funded university admission for all high school students who graduate within the top ten percent of their class. Ginsburg said that she would have upheld the university's decision. Justice Clarence Thomas, meanwhile, joined the court's majority, but in a concurring opinion compared affirmative action to Jim Crow segregation laws, as U.S. News' Elizabeth Flock reported.
[ Should the Supreme Court Overturn the Defense of Marriage Act?]
Grutter v. Bollinger (2003) was the last supreme court case to address the issue of affirmative action. That suit was filed against the University of Michigan Law School for assigning points to different race categories in its admission scoring. The court's decision rendered the points system unconstitutional, but allowed for race to be considered as a means to achieving a culturally diverse student body.
Wade Henderson, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human rights lauded the court, saying "today's decision makes it clear that it's time to expand our commitment to diversity in all of our institutions to ensure that we are well-positioned to compete in the diverse economy of the 21st century."

Mt. Gox CEO Returns To Twitter, Enrages Burned Investors
Well, it is a property offence (281 comments)
Strictly speaking, it is embezzlement
Embezzlement is the act of dishonestly withholding assets for the purpose of conversion (theft) of such assets by one or more individuals to whom such assets have been entrusted, to be held and/or used for other purposes.
In other jurisdictions, this may be known as misappropriation.
Usually the burden of proof lies on the person you entrusted the property to (especially if it is a paid service) to explain what happened to it. If he can't/won't, you can invite the court to draw an adverse inference against him. Proving where it went is his problem.

The Valdosta Daily Times
The Valdosta State football team is just two wins away from a third national championship.
The Blazers advanced to the Division II national semifinals with a commanding 48-26 win over Carson-Newman in the national quarterfinals on Saturday at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium.
The Blazers will face Minnesota State-Mankato next weekend in the national semifinals. Late Saturday night, the NCAA announced the game will be played in Blakeslee Stadium on the campus of MSU-Mankato. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. Eastern on Saturday.
"I'm really proud of these young men, with the way they played today," Valdosta State head coach David Dean said. "We beat a very good football team, a football team that I consider to be one of the top Division II football programs year in and year out. So it gives great satisfaction to not only line up against those guys but to walk off as victors."
Led by a dominating rushing performance from true freshman Cedric O'Neal, who finished with 194 yards on 15 carries and three touchdowns, Valdosta State racked up 525 yards of total offense, the second-most in a postseason game in school history.
With his impressive performance Saturday, O'Neal became the first 1,000-yard rushing back at Valdosta State since Michael Terry ran for over 1,100 yards in 2007. O'Neal is now seventh in rushing yards in a single season at Valdosta State with 1,055 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, the second-most in a single season.
"That is amazing," O'Neal said. "My offensive linemen give great blocks (and) Coach Dean calls the right plays at the right time."
Much like last week, Valdosta State played dominant defense in the second half, limiting Carson-Newman to 392 yards of total offense on the day, and just 152 yards in the second half. Linebacker Chris Pope finished with 21 tackles, the second-most in a single game at Valdosta State.
"I've got a really good d-line in front of me," Pope said. "They said, 'We are going to keep the linemen off of you and it's just your plays to make.' And they did their job and all I had to do was make the tackles."
Trailing 26-21 just over halfway through the third quarter, Valdosta State ran a fake punt with up-back Trokon Gaye on fourth-and-4 at the Blazer 37-yard line. Gaye broke outside of the Eagles' defense and ran 35 yards down the field, before being tackled at the Carson-Newman 22-yard line. Three plays later, Cochran connected with Chris Anderson on a 20-yard scoring play, giving Valdosta State a 28-26 lead.
"On third down, I switched over to the defensive side (of the radio) and told those guys that if we didn't make the first down, that we were going to fake it at that time," Dean said. "I felt like we needed some excitement on our sideline. We needed a spark. The guys did a great job. That was a big difference in the game."
The fake play was the second of the year that Gaye successfully ran. In the Blazers' 43-10 rout of Angelo State at Cowboys Stadium in September, Gaye caught a pass from punter Daniel Andersen.
"It is special," said Gaye, who was suspended the first two games of the season. "It is something I try to work hard for all the time. Whenever my opportunity comes, I try to take advantage of it."
The Blazers' fake punt and score on that possession changed the course of the football game. From there, the Blazers scored on their next three possessions, while holding Carson-Newman to a turnover on downs — coming on a fake punt that the Blazers sniffed out — a fumble and another turnover on downs.
O'Neal started the fourth quarter with a 3-yard touchdown run, scooping up a fumbled snap by Cochran, to get into the end zone and extend the Blazers' lead to 34-26.
Then, Cochran found Quin Roberson on a 29-yard touchdown pass to put the Blazers ahead 41-26. On the play, Cochran took advantage of great blocking up front and found Roberson standing in the corner of the end zone with no defenders within 10 yards.
O'Neal iced the game the following possession, scoring on a 16-yard run with 6:29 remaining.
"Those guys never give up," Dean said. "It is fun to go over to the sideline after a possession and just look at their eyes, because if we score, or if we turn the ball over, their focus is the same. Their demeanor never changes, and that is a lot of fun to coach."
Valdosta State raced out to a 14-3 lead in the first quarter. After Carson-Newman took a 3-0 lead on its opening possession, the Blazers used a 10-play, 90-yard drive, capped off by a 1-yard touchdown run by Cochran, to take a 7-3 lead. Then, after the Blazer defense held Carson-Newman on fourth-and-inches, O'Neal broke loose for a 46-yard touchdown run to make the score 14-3.
The Eagles fought back, though. After forcing a punt, which was downed at the 3-yard line, Carson-Newman put together an impressive 15-play, 97-yard touchdown drive, which included back-to-back third down conversions, to cut the Blazers' lead to 14-10.
After a Blazer punt, the Eagles took the lead on their following offensive play, making the score 17-14.
Carson-Newman added another field goal and took a 20-14 lead off a Cochran interception. Then, with the minutes winding down in the first half, O'Neal carried the Blazers down the field and into the red zone.
Once in the red zone, Carson-Newman forced the Blazers into a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line. After the teams swapped timeouts, Cochran was stuffed on a quarterback sneak attempt, and the Blazers turned over possession of the ball.
In the second half, Carson-Newman notched a pair of field goals on its first two possessions, and then was held to limited production in the second half. Meanwhile, the Blazers opened their second half scoring with a 37-yard touchdown strike from Cochran to Seantavious Jones.
As the Blazers prepare for their semifinal matchup against Minnesota State-Mankato, The Valdosta Daily Times will have complete coverage of the week, with at least one story per day.

July 31, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The House has voted to approve a Republican bill aiming to require children to be older before they can enroll in kindergarten over Democrats' arguments that the measure is aimed at laying off teachers.
The bill sponsored by Republican Rep. Glen Casada of Franklin was approved on a 68-30 vote on Wednesday. Currently children must be 5 years old by Sept. 30. The measure would move that cut-off to Aug. 31 in the school year beginning in 2013, and to Aug. 15 the year after that.
Casada said he disputes a fiscal analysis that the change would affect 4,200 children at an annual cost savings to the state of more than $21 million. Four-year-olds could qualify if they pass a maturity test.
The companion bill is awaiting a Senate vote.

Friday kicks off the 2013 Indiana high school football playoffs.
It also kicks off a new tournament format — moving from five classes to six.
It's a system that could certainly use more thought, to be as nice as I can be. My personal feeling is that not every team belongs in the tournament. If a team goes 0-9 (or 1-8 or 2-7, for that matter) in the regular season, it's honestly just taking up space in the postseason in most situations.
Maybe if the tournament is just a tad less inclusive, we could get back to having teams play other teams from the same "section" playing for sectional championships, and the teams in the same "region" vying for regional titles.
If you look at a map of Indiana, the distance between Center Grove and New Albany in no way resembles a "section" of the state.
On Monday, News and Tribune correspondent Jon Reiter wrote the following:
"When New Albany fell 35-34 to Floyd Central at Buerk Field Friday night in a tough battle, it marked not only the end of the regular season for the Bulldogs, but for all intents and purposes, the end of their season overall.
"The Bulldogs finished their most successful regular season since 2008. They are just two years removed from a painful 1-9 season and went 6-3 in 2013. So there's much to celebrate on this campaign if you're a New Albany fan.
"Their reward for having such a successful season is to travel 100 miles north on Friday night to face off against No. 3 Center Grove in the first round of 6A Sectional 8. Game time is at 7 p.m., Bulldog fans. Good luck getting to Greenwood on time, and let's hope there aren't any jack-knifed semis or car-deer collisions on I-65 between here and there.
"Come on, this is ridiculous. I know that the IHSAA just went to A-6A this season, and that there are only 32 teams in 6A, but there has to be a better way than this. Let's be honest, the entire reason they changed things this season is because of the explosion of student growth in the suburban Indianapolis schools. This setup is meant to favor those schools — not Jeffersonville, New Albany or Floyd Central.
"One New Albany coach told me the team may have to leave school early on Friday in order to make it to Center Grove with enough time to do even limited pre-game preparation. Is this the kind of message the IHSAA wants to send its member schools with regards to the importance of education?"
Here's an idea: Let's start with abolishing football conferences, go back to four classes and set up seven- to eight-team football sections or districts.
In the regular season, every team would play every other team in the section and the top four in the section make the playoffs. There would even be room for a couple of non-section games to play rivals. It would cut down travel costs and, as sad as it would be to lose the tradition of high school football conferences, new rivalries would form inside of these sections.
Here are proposed examples of some local sectionals:
Class 4A — New Albany, Floyd Central, Jeffersonville, Jennings County, Bedford North Lawrence, Seymour, Columbus East, Columbus North.
Class 3A — Charlestown, Silver Creek, Brownstown Central, Corydon Central, Madison, South Dearborn, North Harrison, Salem.
Class 2A — Clarksville, Providence, Eastern, Paoli, Crawford County, Mitchell, Forest Park, Southridge.
Not every team deserves a spot in the playoffs every year.
This is something the IHSAA should seriously consider. Let's get back to the time when sectional games weren't played half a state away.
On to the first-round sectional picks:
• Center Grove 44, New Albany 24: Center Grove probably has the best team in the entire state. The computer-based Sagarin rating has the Trojans as No. 1. So do I.
It really is a shame that the Bulldogs were given the worst of all worlds. Open with Center Grove, have to drive two hours to get there and, most people believe, be out of the game by halftime.
It's hard to imagine the Bulldogs winning this game. They'll have to play a perfect game and get three or four breaks, but they are good enough that it is an outside possibility.
This game will be closer than most expect, but it still likely won't be close.
• Jeffersonville 33, Columbus North 22: Unlike New Albany, Jeff got the best of all worlds.
The Red Devils get to open at home against the most beatable team in the sectional. Of course, that doesn't mean the Bull Dogs are bad and it doesn't mean this will be an easy win for Jeff. It certainly won't be.
If Jeff loses, it will be the last high school game for All-State tight end Dionte Allen. He won't let that happen. Expect the Devils to go to Allen early and often and expect Allen to deliver.
So the IHSAA's brilliant plan for Class 5A is to have some five-team sectionals. That means most 5A teams will have a week off before next week's sectional semifinals. Meanwhile, Class 6A is playing this week with a bye week later in the tournament.
It seems the NCAA's move to Indianapolis a few years ago has affected the IHSAA, and it's become nearly as incompetent in its decision-making.
• Boonville 26, Silver Creek 22: I don't know how I hear from coaches that their upcoming opponent is "better than its record."
In the case of Boonville, it's true. The Pioneers have lost eight games in a row, but they've often been competitive with good teams.
This is the Dragons' first home playoff game and it could be their first playoff victory. This is a tossup, but I'm going with the Pioneers in a dogfight.
• Evansville Reitz 42, Owen Valley 14: If the Dragons beat Boonville, their reward will be the 6-3 Panthers (speaking of better than their record). Reitz has won as many regional championships in its program's history as Silver Creek has won games (six apiece). Again, does Reitz and Creek being in the same sectional seem right?
• Evansville Central 62, Seymour 21: As bad as it was early in the year, Seymour's offense has been pretty prolific when quarterback Austin Sutton has been healthy. Unfortunately, the Owls are surrendering nearly 60 points per game.
• Jasper 49, Evansville Harrison 13: It hasn't been the best year for Evansville football and 1-7 Harrison has epitomized the mediocrity.
• Charlestown 27, Corydon Central 8: Just three weeks ago, Charlestown had arguably its best performance of the season in a 35-0 win over the Panthers. It was one of four shutouts in the Pirates' last five games.
Injuries have slowed Charlestown a bit. Darren Taylor, who is likely out for the season, was a big reason for the rout of Corydon. His absence will not be enough to make the rematch competitive.
It will be a little closer. But without some bad breaks, the Pirates will pull away late.
• Salem 21, Brown County 7: It has been a stellar first season for Salem under coach R.J. Hartsfield. It should continue at least one more week as the Lions clinch their first winning season since 2009. The 2009 season was the last as head coach for Brian Motsinger, who is now assisting Hartsfield in returning Salem to a winning program.
• North Harrison 49, Mitchell 14: Mark Williamson is another Mid-Southern Conference coach who has done a nice job turning around a program. The 4-5 Cougars have won three of their last four and nearly beat 7-2 Paoli a week ago.
• Brownstown Central 65, Washington 15: The Hatchets snapped a nine-game losing streak a week ago. This column has been awfully negative. Just thought I'd point out something positive.
• Crawford County 20, Clarksville 14: The only way the draw could have gone better for Clarksville, which is still searching for its first win, would have been to host winless Indianapolis Manual.
The pairings have given the Generals a shot.
I spent much of last season bashing Alan Hess and the Wolfpack. While the Pack have only won two games, the improvement they made has been astonishing. Wins over Springs Valley and Indianapolis Washington — combined with close losses to Forest Park and Eastern — has made Crawford's season one of the most successful 2-7 campaigns in the state.
It'll be a battle, but Crawford should leave Clarksville with its third win. Amazing for a program that a year ago looked like it may never win a game again.
• Paoli 38, Eastern 12: In what could be known as the "Rich Man/Poor Man" sectional, Eastern had a pretty good chance of drawing a team it could beat in the opening round.
Instead, Eastern drew a 7-2 Paoli team that has won five straight games. The 2014 season should be kinder to the Musketeers.
• Providence 71, Indianapolis Manual 0: If Manual shows up this time, this matchup could be the ugliest first-round games in the state. Manual is the very definition of a team that shouldn't be anywhere near a "playoff."
If Pioneers' coach Larry Denison wanted to, his team could beat the Redskins by triple figures. Of course, the Pioneers don't want to be charged with bullying.
I don't think Providence will be able to help itself scoring 60. It may reach 70 or 80 without trying, and Manual has almost no chance of putting a point on the board.
• Milan 34, Triton Central 27: Milan has won four of its last five. Triton Central has lost two of its last four. I know I'm supposed to be impartial, but it sure would be nice for Providence not to have to go TWO HOURS FOR A SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL next week.
Sorry for shouting. It's sectional time. I hope I haven't taken too much of the joy out of it. That certainly wasn't my intent.
I am honestly looking forward to a great postseason of Southern Indiana football — but honestly, something has to be done.

The University of Connecticut and the town of Mansfield need water. The issue they are facing is where that water will come from. One option under consideration could divert as much as 1.93 million gallons of water away from the Farmington River Watershed daily and local officials are concerned about the long-term implications for the Farmington Valley.
In June 2011 the town of Mansfield and UCONN initiated an Environmental Impact Evaluation, prepared by Milone & MacBroom, to determine the best possible resolution to their increasingly diminished water supply.
The initial EIE included 6 proposed alternatives of which two scenarios were deemed feasible alternatives.
- Interconnection with Windham Water Works
- Interconnection with the Connecticut Water Company
The rejected proposals included the construction of new well fields and the replacement of an existing well. The two feasible options would pull water from the same water basin but from points in the southern part of the state.
In the spring of 2012 a new proposal was added to the EIE. The Metropolitan District Commission, which supplies water to the greater Hartford region, proposed constructing a new pipeline from Mansfield to the company's existing infrastructure in Manchester, according to the proposal.
Of the two proposed MDC pipeline scenarios, the company's preferred scenario would be a 20-mile pipeline that would cost approximately $38.33 million and would add the potential for a new customer base in the towns of Tolland, Vernon, Mansfield, South Windsor, and Coventry, according to the proposal.
A letter sent by Margery Winters on behalf of the Simsbury Conservation Commission to the University of Conn. Office of Environmental Policy on Dec. 4, 2012 argues against the diversion of water from the Farmington River basin.
"We do not think that one can easily make the assumption that diverting 1.93 million gallons per day (and likely more in subsequent years) would not have a material adverse environmental impact on the river's habitat and recreational values," Winters wrote.
Eileen Fielding, executive director of the Farmington River Watershed Association, clarified that the proposed diversion would not be a direct drain on the Farmington River but rather a drain on the watershed as a whole. There would not be any new infrastructure added in the Farmington Valley.
"We want people to be concerned and there's a reason to be concerned," Fielding said. "But this is a long term concern."
Fielding said the proposed diversion would run counter to conservation efforts in recent years and could be the first time a pipeline was used to divert water from one water basin to another in the state of Conn.
"That is a can of worms we don't want to open unless we have to," Fielding said.
Fielding said that the initial impact of the diversion may go unnoticed unless the region is faced with a severe drought but the long-term impact could be severe.
"The way we manage flow on the Farmington River may have to change," Fielding said.
The Metropolitan District Commission argues that the project's impact on the environment and water supply will be minimal.
"This alternative meets the project purpose and need to provide a safe, reliable water supply source that that maximizes benefits while minimizing environmental, land use, and other adverse impacts," the EIE Executive Summary said.
Public comment on the EIE is open until Dec. 21, 2012 and a public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday Dec. 11. The hearing will be held at 7 p.m. in Room 146 at the UConn Bishop Center, One Bishop Circle, Storrs, Conn.
Written comments can also be sent until the close of public comment. Comments should be sent to:
Jason M. Coite
University of Connecticut – Office of Environmental Policy
31 LeDoyt Road, U-3055
Storrs, Connecticut 06269
The Farmington River Watershed Association plans to have a petition available on their website in the near future.

Avanir Pharmaceuticals has received a grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation to support a clincial safety and efficacy study evaluating AVP-923 (dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulfate) for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease patients. The placebo-controlled proof-of-concept study will be conducted at three sites in the U.S. and Canada. Participants will receive, at random, two weeks of treatment with AVP-923 and two weeks of placebo treatment, separated by a two-week break. After each two-week treatment period patients will receive a levodopa infusion to test the drug effect on dyskinesia.
Avanir is focused on acquiring and developing drugs for the treatment of central nervous system disorders.
