Predictive Network Biology: Unearthing the Regulatory GenomeNitin Baliga, Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle, Washington
Special Joint Institute for Biological Sciences—
Institute for Computational Sciences Seminar in Informational Biology
9:00 AM — 10:00 AM, Building 4500-N, Wigner Auditorium
Contact: Gary Sayler (firstname.lastname@example.com), 865.241.1244
AbstractIntegrated into the genomic blueprint of every organism are sets of instructions for turning up and down different combinations of biochemical processes to deal with challenges posed by a dynamically changing environment. These instructions are executed by an intricate network of response regulatory and signal relay systems that sense and process extracellular and intracellular environmental information into signals for gene regulation at multiple levels (transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, allosteric etc.). A significant fraction of these environmental signals are relayed via transcriptional factors (TFs) that bind to specific and short (6-20 nt) DNA sequences or gene regulatory elements (GREs) to modulate transcriptional activity at numerous loci throughout the genome.
Decoding mechanistically detailed regulatory programs in the form of conditional TF-GRE interactions has profound implications for understanding complex biological phenomena, innovating rational systems engineering through the merger of synthetic and systems biology, and ultimately revolutionizing the future of biotechnology and predictive medicine. In addition to presenting methods for decoding this information I will also discuss the theory and foundational principles for inferring predictive models of GRNs for any organism.

Tribal ecoAmbassador Program Accepting Applications
The American Indian Environmental Office is accepting applications for the 2014-2015 Tribal ecoAmbassadors Program, which funds research at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) to address environmental and health issues affecting their communities. EPA's Tribal ecoAmbassadors program helps tribal college professors, students and community members bring environmental improvements to their schools and neighborhoods.
Applications are being accepted through July 31 from TCU professors who wish to establish independent study courses with tribal students on issues including but not limited to climate change, air quality, water quality, and waste management. Selected Tribal EcoAmbassadors will each receive a grant and will be responsible for recruiting qualified students, participating in training sessions led by EPA, producing a report that outlines research, results, and proposed solutions to the chosen topic, and presenting their research at a future meeting attended by both EPA and tribes.
To apply, please fill out and submit the application. For questions, please contact Marissa McInnis at email@example.com or at (202) 564-2467.

Celebrating 30 Years of EPA's Indian Policy
2014 marks 30 years of EPA's 1984 Indian Policy. EPA was the first to formally adopt such a Policy, articulating the importance of our tribal programs and our unique government-to-government relationship with tribes.
This past January, Administrator Gina McCarthy reaffirmed the 1984 Indian Policy and acknowledged that EPA's "work in Indian Country is crosscutting and affects all aspects of the EPA's day to day functions."
To recognize this milestone and how it remains a top Agency priority, EPA is commemorating the work of our tribal programs through video, social media, and special events. Check back for more detailed information.

White House Tribal Nations Conference Report Released
On March 6, the final summaries of the November 2013 White House Tribal Nations Conference discussions were released by the White House. Jodi Gillette, Senior Advisor for Native American Affairs, wrote about both the summaries and final report on the White House Blog. While Departments and Agencies have already been working on follow up items and actions from the November meeting, these notes and reports are meant to be used as an official point of reference for future White House Tribal meetings.
"The Synopsis reflects the wide-array of issues and comments raised by tribal leaders during the break-out sessions; including economic and energy development, education, public safety, health care, and land and natural resources. The Tribal Nations Conference Progress Report provides a comprehensive overview of federal agencies' progress in 2013 toward making improvements in Indian Country."

Administrator McCarthy Visits Indian Country
In late February, Administrator McCarthy traveled to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota that included a visit to United Tribes Technical College in Bismark, a meeting with Tribal Chairman Archambault and the Tribal Council, a tour of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation and tribal environmental program, and a meeting with North Dakota Governor Dalrymple. On Friday, the Administrator was joined by Senator Heidi Heitkamp in a meeting with North Dakota Tribal Chairs.
This is the Administrator's second visit to Indian Country in her first year. Last August, she traveled to Alaska to highlight the President's commitment to addressing climate change and its impact on the state. Administrator McCarthy visited the Portage Glacier near Anchorage to survey the effects of climate change, visited the Bristol Bay watershed where she met with tribes, industry representatives, fishermen, and other stakeholders, and visited Fairbanks to discuss ongoing air quality issues facing the community.
For more information about Administrator McCarthy and her commitment to tribes, please visit: Administrator Gina McCarthy
EPA Tribal Consultation Opportunities
On August 6, 2013, EPA's Designated Consultation Official Michelle DePass, Assistant Administrator for the Office of International & Tribal Affairs, transmitted EPA's annual progress report per President Obama's November 5, 2009 memorandum on tribal consultation to the Office of Management and Budget. The report describes EPA's progress under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments.

The Tribal Consultation Opportunities Tracking System (TCOTS) publicizes upcoming and current EPA consultation opportunities for tribal governments. TCOTS allows users to view and sort information, and to submit comments on a tribal consultation. TCOTS is a key feature of EPA's new Consultation and Coordination Policy with Indian Tribes (PDF) (10 pp, 213K, About PDF) that was released by Former Administrator Jackson on May 4, 2011. The goal of TCOTS is to provide early notification and transparency on EPA consultations with tribal governments.
EPA Releases New Guidance on the Award and Management of General Assistance Agreements for Tribes and Intertribal Consortia
In May 2013, the Agency released a new GAP Guidance document. The guidance incorporates input from the consultation and coordination process ending February 22, 2013. This new Guidance establishes an overall framework for tribes and EPA to follow in building tribal environmental protection program capacities with GAP resources and supersedes previous Agency GAP guidance. The new GAP Guidance affected grant work plans negotiated in the Fiscal Year 2014 funding cycle for activities in Fiscal Year 2015 and beyond.

Multiple Federal Partners Addressing the Long Standing Disparity of Safe Water & Sanitation Services for Tribes
Multiple Federal Partners Addressing the Long Standing Disparity of Safe Water & Sanitation Services for Tribes
The lack of access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation in Indian Country continues to threaten the public health of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Approximately 12% of AI/AN homes do not have safe water and/or basic sanitation facilities. This is high compared with the 0.6% of non-native homes in the United States that lack such infrastructure. A multi-agency Infrastructure Task Force has been formed to improve access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation in Indian country. Partners include US Department of Agriculture - Rural Development, the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Indian Health Service, and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Task Force accomplishments, current activities, and proposed strategies to address access to water and sanitation services on AI/AN lands are available at http://www.epa.gov/tp/trprograms/infra-water.htm.

"I served in the RAF Codes & Ciphers Branch and was indoctrinated into the mysteries of Enigma and the One-Time Pad code. I was seconded to General Bradley's US 12th Army Group HQ and landed in Normandy in 1944 for the advance on Paris.
It was now December and bitterly cold – lots of ice and snow. Out of the blue at 4a.m. on December 16th came a major attack on the American front. There was pandemonium as the Germans broke through the US lines, troops retreating and the populations streaming back from the German advances. The GIs ran out of ammo. and threw their rifles away – some 8000 were taken prisoners of war. We were cut off in Luxembourg city as the Germans had separated the 12th Army from the US 1st Army further north as they were making for Brussels. We carried thermite bombs in a safe in our operations vehicle to be used to destroy our codebooks and machines. We had rifles fully loaded with us at all times.
We were dropped supplies of food and more important the GIs got further weapons and ammo. supplies. At one stage we were being served up five boiled sweets for one meal!"
This meal of five boiled sweets became an apocryphal family story!

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is testing two elk put down in a county park in northwestern Pennsylvania for Chronic Wasting Disease and other illnesses.
Commission spokesman Jerry Feaser says in The Derrick of Oil City report that the elk were reported at Two Mile Run County Park in Venango County, near Franklin. That's about 100 miles northwest of Johnstown.
Feaser says the elk were too far away from where wild elk are known to roam, so officials presume they came from an elk farm. The animals weren't tagged, however, so they were put down because it wasn't possible to determine their origin.
The elk are also being tested for brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis.
The elk were reported in the park Jan. 31. The game commission will alert the community if the tests reveal any diseases.

May we help you
À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Want a super thrill? Then ride the world's largest and longest zip-line over the treetops and down a mountain at speeds up to 60 mph.
Board your bus and head straight for Icy Strait Point to the famed ZipRider experience for a once-in-a-lifetime zip-line ride down the mountain. Be forewarned, this exhilarating adventure is not for the faint-hearted! En route to the site, you will pass through the town of Hoonah, enjoying an informative narration from your driver. Arriving at the staging area, you will walk to the launching platform which rises 1,300 feet above sea level, and offers up stunning views in every direction.
After receiving a safety briefing and being securely strapped into the harness seat, off you go. Traveling at speeds approaching 60 miles per hour, you will zoom along just 300 feet above the dense green forest. Looking down, if you dare, the scenery will zip by. Two other adventurers will be nearby on adjoining lines, sharing the thrills and racing with you to the bottom. The ride down is more than a mile long with a plummeting vertical drop. It's as close to flying as you will ever come and if your eyes are still open, you will be able to take in sweeping views Port Frederick, Icy Strait and your awaiting ship. The average grade is 25%, making it one wild ride to the bottom of Icy Strait Point. As you approach the Landing Zone on the beach, the ZipRider brakes automatically, easing you down to land.
You will no doubt have plenty to talk about later when you share your amazing experience with your fellow guests.

By Scott Scanlon – Refresh Editor
You don't get to train top athletes if you only talk the talk.
Physical therapist Chris Nentarz also makes sure he eats right and gets plenty of exercise himself.
Nentarz, 36, a Rochester native who lives in Cheektowaga, is the subject of today's "What are you Eating?" feature in WNY Refresh.
He's worked with top NHL, NFL, soccer, track and field, collegiate and high school athletes since graduating from the University at Buffalo in 2000.
What is his workout and health maintenance like?
"I'm an equal opportunity sweater," he told me this week. "I do functional resistance training, I do CrossFit. I do spinning, I run, I snowshoe, I do outdoor sports, rock climb. You name it, I do it.
"I believe in doing different things to challenge your body. I think that's one way to stay healthy, and I think you're also seeing top level athletes finding alternative ways to train themselves. It's not just all about their sport, it's about getting better at mastering other movements.
What is his nutritional life like, and how does he work on his mindset, which he believes also is key to good health?
"I follow a Paleo Diet, a caveman diet," he said. "It involves eating vegetables, spare fruits, spare grains, keeping my carbohydrate intake low and fat intake moderate. I'm a big believer in hydration.
"Mindset for me, I meditate, I do yoga, and working is very therapeutic for me."
Nentarz said he has helped train a gold medal winning Summer Olympics champion and a silver medal winning U.S.A. woman hockey player who's back in the Winter Games this month. He declined to name them for confidentiality reasons.
He's trained athletes at three Olympic training centers but has yet to attend and Olympic Games.
"It's a dream of mine," he said. "Just like our athletes, I still have goals, too."

Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Being a member of the Facebook founder's family won't protect you from having your privacy breached on the social network. On Tuesday night, Randi Zuckerberg — older sister to Facebook's CEO — posted a photo from a family gathering to Facebook (of course), showing her sisters using Facebook's new Snapchat-esque 'Poke' app on their phones, with Mark Zuckerberg watching with a confused look on his face. It popped up on the Facebook newsfeed of mediaite Callie Schweitzer who subscribes to Zuckerberg. Assuming the photo was a public one, Schweitzer tweeted it to her nearly 40,000 Twitter followers. Zuckerberg was not pleased.
"Not sure where you got this photo," she tweeted at Schweitzer. "I posted it to friends only on FB. You reposting it to Twitter is way uncool."
"I would hate for a private photo of mine to be public and would never want to do same to others," replied Schweitzer, deleting the photo. While she was nice, others preferred to be on Santa's naughty list. Buzzfeed nabbed the endearing photo and posted it. The fact that the photo captured the Zuckerberg family using a Facebook app that exists to undermine the permanence of photos is just the start of the irony here…
Schweitzer explained that the photo had popped up in her newsfeed. Zuckerberg then realized that she had fallen prey to Facebook's complicated privacy setting machinations. Perhaps with the help of the Facebook expert at hand, Zuckerberg figured out what had happened: Schweitzer is friends with one of the people in the photo, and so was able to see the otherwise private photo because a friend was tagged in it.
Zuckerberg pulled back on her Internet road rage, and accepted Schweitzer's apology in a tweet that she has since deleted:
By this point, of course, it was too late for the photo not to become news. Zuckerberg can at least comfort herself by remembering that she is not the first Zuckerberg to be flummoxed by Facebook's privacy settings. Back in 2009, Mark Zuckerberg had his whole profile — including photos and his events calendar — go suddenly and dramatically public after a Facebook privacy setting overhaul that seemed to take him by surprise.
This is the difficulty of Facebook. Despite simplifications and "shortcuts," the privacy settings are not always easily navigated. Sensitive information can unexpectedly leak. Even if you manage to master Facebook's settings, your friends' selections as to who can see their content may wind up undermining your privacy decisions.
Rather than faulting the social network, Randi Zuckerberg preferred pointing the finger elsewhere.
After deleting her exchange with Schweitzer, older sister Zuckerberg — who previously worked at Facebook and specializes in marketing – spun the privacy breach as Schweitzer's fault. She offered a lesson in digital etiquette on Twitter: "Always ask permission before posting a friend's photo publicly. It's not about privacy settings. It's about human decency."
That's richer than the egg nog many of us were drinking yesterday.

Facebook sucks. But you all already knew that.
Sorry Randi… You helped create them… Live with them or go somewhere else with the rest of your clown-Klan…
Digital etiquette, if you want something to stay private, keep it off the internet. No matter how much security is out there, things can easily be seen by others you don't want. So if you really don't want something public, don't post it.
I smell a viral marketing campaign for the new Poke app.
"After deleting her exchange with Schweitzer, older sister Zuckerberg — who previously worked at Facebook and specializes in marketing – spun the privacy breach as Schweitzer's fault. She offered a lesson in digital etiquette on Twitter: "Always ask permission before posting a friend's photo publicly. It's not about privacy settings. It's about human decency.""
1. Why was she deleting the exchange at all? Is it because she was "less than decent" to begin with? The screen-cap with Schweitzer's tweets all seem cordial, polite, and understanding/apologetic.
2. Her message about decency completely misses the point of what happened; someone thought they got a public photo and so they shared it with the public. This isn't a friend sharing another friend's photo unknowingly (since the source was Zuckerberg, not the friend tagged in the photo). So, while it's polite to ask before sharing a friend's photo, it would NOT have prevented this situation in the first place–because the two aren't (Facebook) friends.
3. Here's the decent thing: If you screw up, then own it, apologize, and attempt to make it right. Only one of the two people involved did this; the other one has a brother named Mark, who built a company devoted to making it ever easier to share (all) your information with people–on purpose or not.
Well said! Exactly as I was thinking…. that was kinda low of his sister to place the blame on the other user, when she didn't think she was doing anything wrong (it is facebook culture after all!), especially after she also apologized… but then again, she had to make an example for anybody else that might do that…
Why can't we 'like' this comment, or +1 it goognam style?
The horror of it all reminds me of what losers without a life used to do with a photocopier and a pair of scissors before the streamlined day's of desktop publishing. The finished results were not quite up to the professional standards of your local press cutting agency but then again — if you do want to live your life in RFID then you only have yourself to blame when you forget to pack an umbrella.
Digital Etiquette: If it has a "share" button, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that the poster doesn't mind it being shared. Learn about your brother's privacy settings before tagging people next time.
drama much over an online snafu? appreciate the irony though.

After 50 years, Salyer family selling Wheat Lands restaurant
By The Telegram
By The Telegram
After owning The Wheat Lands Restaurant and Convention Center, 1408 E. Fulton St., for more than 50 years, the Salyer family is selling the establishment.
On Sunday, managing partners Van Salyer and Gary Salyer of Wheat Lands Inc., announced plans to sell the property to a local family. The closing of the sale is scheduled for this afternoon.
The Salyers did not disclose the buyers' names. Martin Nusser, who is helping with the sale as broker/owner of Coldwell Banker Real Estate Shoppe, declined to provide the buyers' names until after the closing on Tuesday.
In a press release, the Salyers said, "All great things have to some day come to an end, and after over 50 years of continuous operations and our advancing ages, it was time to let someone else have the enjoyment we have had for many, many years."
According to the release, the initial plans were for the current Wheat Lands Restaurant to remain in operation for four to eight weeks, but because the new owners do not yet have their required Kansas restaurant license, the restaurant closed Sunday. On Monday, the Salyers donated about $4,000 worth of leftover food to the Emmaus House.
According to the release, the new owners will be renaming the restaurant and are scheduled to reopen it in about eight to 10 weeks.
Van Salyer said the new owners plan to add a bar and turn the three existing dining rooms at the restaurant into one.
In an email to The Telegram, Linda Adams, broker/owner of Adams Real Estate and president of the Lion's Club said, "We so appreciate all the years of service to our Noon Lion's club, which has met weekly at the Wheatland's Convention Center for 35 years."
In the release, the Salyer brothers said, "Thank you to all our thousands of customers who have made the Wheat Lands one of the most popular and longest running restaurants in this part of Kansas."
Wheat Lands Inc., owns and will continue to operate Wheat Lands Country Store, 1521 E. Fulton St., and is the Hertz Rent-A-Car licensee for Garden City, Dodge City and Liberal.

Presentation: 8:30am – 4:30 pm
Roger Williams University Baypoint Inn & Conference Center
144 Anthony Road, Portsmouth, Rhode Island
The Arson Investigations Seminar will address the role of a fire investigation professional from the fire scene to the courtroom including the six simple questions a fire investigator should be able to answer about their investigative effort and the associated origin and cause determination. Instructors will highlight the importance of understanding and conducting an investigation utilizing the proper methodology, validating information and opinions, and why investigators need to constantly evaluate the reliability of their opinions in the context of offering expert testimony in court. There will be an emphasis on the importance of a thorough understanding of NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921, discussed in the context of professional development, conducting a competent and proper investigation, and offering an expert origin and cause opinion in the courtroom. Case studies will be utilized to illustrate the differences between fire scenes processed correctly so that the proper conclusion was reached and those that were not processed in accordance with NFPA 921 leading to incorrect hypothesis and conclusions.
This seminar will be facilitated by Joseph Toscano and David Cheers. Joe Toscano has been involved in all aspects of the field of fire investigation and case management for more than thirty five years. He is an internationally known lecturer and author on effective investigative techniques and solutions for the Insurance Industry, Law Enforcement, Fire Service and Legal professions.

In 1997, he became a detective and investigator with the Florida State Fire Marshal's Office where he served as the primary investigator for a large portion of the state. Following retirement, David began his employment with Jack Ward Fire Consultants where he serves as the Field Operations Manager and supervises a team of specialized fire consultants conducting fire and explosion investigations throughout the United States and abroad. He is a certified fire investigator and is accepted as an expert in State and Federal courts where he has testified many times.

Soccer sometimes can be a very cruel game.
After tying the game at 1-1 late in the second half against Lawton MacArthur, the Duncan Lady Demons were a victim of a quick counter-attack and paid the price for it.
The end result was a goal slotted home by MacArthur's Kourtney Myskey which not only gave MHS a 2-1 victory, but handed Duncan its first home loss of the season.
"We just weren't ready to play today," Duncan assistant coach Ramon Garcia said. "We were more concerned with the weather and the rain and lost focus of MacArthur's attack. It cost us because we came out flat-footed and they were ready to play."
With both teams battling to a scoreless first half in rainy and cold conditions, it was all to play for in the second half.
Finding themselves down 1-0, the Lady Demons turned up the pressure, which eventually paid off at the 5:31 mark of the second half.
Autumn Parker sent in a low free kick attempt into the box, which found teammate Stephanie Wainscott, who slotted home the equalizer for Duncan.
The goal was greeted with many cheers from the DHS fans who braved to sit through the downpour of rain which began more than an hour before kickoff.
However just moments later, at with less than four minutes to play, the Lady Highlanders found themselves back on top of proceedings.
A defensive mistake at the back allowed Myskey to dribble into the box, firing off two shots with the rebound finding the back of the net.
DHS almost found another equalizer with time running out as Shai Johnson was sent through, but the pass was too heavy and the clock counted Duncan out on the night.
"Mentally we need to be ready for whatever comes out as far as the weather," Garcia said. "It could be hot, it could be cold. Regardless of the conditions we need to be prepared and ready to play out there."
Lady Highlanders captain Lacey Flaig gave MacArthur a 1-0 lead at the 7:30 mark when she emerged from a scramble in the box to fire home a shot which deflected in off the crossbar.
Charity Meadows almost gave the Lady Demons the lead in the second half but her attempt on goal after a bobble from MHS goalkeeper Tiffani Langston was saved before she could grab a rebound.
The Lady Demons (4-3, 0-1) will be on the road Friday night taking on Durant with kickoff set for 5 p.m.

The Disappearance by Genevieve Jurgensen (Translated by Adriana Hunter)
This is an almost unbearably sad, yet stunningly beautiful, memoir written by a mother a dozen years after her two daughters, ages four and seven, were killed in an automobile accident. The callous reaction of the driver responsible for the tragedy inspired the author to co-found France's League Against Road Violence, and her efforts to change laws and driving habits helped drastically cut traffic fatalities in France. In spite of the achingly poignant subject matter, this is a book that is hard to put down. Check catalog for availability.

Lifting the veil on conflict, culture and politics
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
The "sound and fury" of U.S.-Pakistan ties
With the release of CIA contractor Raymond Davis, the United States and Pakistan have put behind them one of the more public rows of their up-and-down relationship. It was probably not the worst row -- remember the furore over a raid by U.S. ground troops in Angor Adda in Waziristan in 2008, itself preceded by a deluge of leaks to the U.S. media about the alleged duplicity of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency in its dealings on Afghanistan.
But it was certainly one which by its very nature was guaranteed to get the most attention - an American who shot dead two Pakistanis in what he said was an act of self-defence, denied diplomatic immunity and ultimately released only after the payment of blood money. Adding to the drama were two intelligence agencies battling behind the scenes.
It was also the first serious row since the Obama administration began to build what it promised would be a new strategic relationship with Pakistan.
As I wrote earlier this month, overall relations between the United States and Pakistan were rather better than they looked (or at least than they appeared at the height of the Davis row). Compared to two years ago, Pakistan is more likely to talk now about the need for stability in Afghanistan than strategic depth (the extent of this shift is open to debate). The United States has also moved closer towards meeting Pakistan's calls for a political settlement in Afghanistan by holding direct talks with representatives of the Taliban, according to several official sources with knowledge of those contacts.
Burying the India-Pakistan dialogue for now
The foreign ministers of India and Pakistan have returned home, licking their wounds from their latest failed engagement. Both sides are blaming each other for not only failing to make any progress, but also souring ties further, with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and his Indian counterpart S.M.Krishna openly sparring at a news conference following the talks in Islamabad. Qureshi suggested Krishna did not seem to have the full mandate to conduct negotiations because directions were being given from New Delhi throughout the day-long talks, drawing rebuke from India which said the foreign minister had been insulted on Pakistani soil.
Some people are asking why bother going through this painful exercise at this time when the chances of of the two sides making even the slightest concession are next to zero? India and Pakistan may actually be doing each other more damage by holding these high-profile, high-pressure meetings where the domestic media and the opposition in both the countries is watching for the slightest sign of capitulation by either government.
Bombing your own people: the use of air power in South Asia
Pakistani army chief of staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani offered a rare apology at the weekend for a deadly air strike in the Khyber region in the northwest in which residents and local officials say at least 63 civilians were killed.
Tragically for the Pakistani military, most of the victims were members of a tribe that had stood up against the Taliban. Some of them were members of the army. Indeed as Dawn reported the first bomb was dropped on the house of a serving army officer, followed by another more devastating strike just when people rushed to the scene. Such actions defy description and an explanation is in order from those who ordered the assault, the newspaper said in an angry editorial.

Legislative Priorities
The City of Springfield has identified major priorities on matters to come before state and federal lawmakers. These priorities have been approved by members of Springfield, Missouri City Council.
The following priorities are established for the 2013 legislative session:
- Economic development and fighting poverty
- Protecting the natural environment
- Maintaining local control and avoiding unfunded mandates
- Improving public health
- Maintaining public safety and Improving the Criminal Justice System
Economic Development & Fighting Poverty
Children In Crisis Tax Credit Program
We encourage the state to reinstate the "Children In Crisis Tax Credit Program."
Strengthen Our Ability to Compete for Jobs
Strengthen current economic development tools available to local governments to improve the State's ability to compete in attracting and retaining quality jobs. Protect existing job creation/retention tax credit programs and consider providing additional State tax credits and other financial incentives for projects that create and retain quality jobs and for capital investments in new or expanding businesses.
Support Tourism Funding
Tourism is an important part of Springfield's economy, which the City promotes by marketing to leisure travelers as well as convention and sporting event sponsors. Protect existing funding, and support funding increases, for the Missouri Division of Tourism, so it can continue to offer its Cooperative Marketing Program.
Education and Workforce Development
Strong education and proven workforce development programs are critical components of economic development and efforts to combat poverty. The City supports sufficient, equitable State funding for K-12 and State-supported higher-education institutions. The City also supports dedicated funding to Workforce Development from the State's General Fund. We also support restoration of funding to the Parents as Teachers program and funding for other early childhood development initiatives given the documented link between early childhood development and economic development, public health, and public safety.
Safe and functional road systems are essential to attracting and retaining businesses and promoting tourism. State and Federal fuel taxes, as well as other current and new sources of revenue, are essential to keeping pace with citizens' demands. Funding for multi-modal transportation is an economic development driver and should be restored to adequate levels in the State budget.
Affordable Housing
Affordable housing is an important element in attracting and retaining an adequate workforce. Protect existing affordable housing programs and consider providing additional resources to support affordable housing.
Promote Downtowns
A community's downtown is an indicator of the health of any local economy and a significant factor in attracting and retaining young workers. Protect existing programs that provide incentives for the revitalization of historic downtowns and consider additional support.
Economic Development Tax Credits
The City of Springfield strongly encourages lawmakers to support and protect proven tax credit programs that are critical economic development tools used to stimulate employment and leverage private investments. We oppose efforts to reduce the effectiveness of such programs, including proposals to subject them to the annual appropriations process. The City of Springfield also encourages legislators to implement the findings of the Missouri Tax Credit Review Commission.
Initiative Petition Process
Missouri is 1 of 17 states whose constitutions allow for initiative petitions. The City of Springfield encourages lawmakers to consider legislation that would ultimately enhance the existing process, ensuring a fair and transparent process for Missourians. Such changes could include the implementations of a bipartisan panel for review of the proposed ballot language and statewide public forums to allow citizens the opportunity to hear from opponents and proponents of the issue.

Months later, I know, but at last a response:
The filbert sometimes is defined as a species of the hazel tree, sometimes as a nut "very similar to the hazelnut," and, for decades in Oregon, was the primary term for commercial hazelnuts in general. According to sources, Oregon hazelnut growers over time converted to "hazelnut" terminology in order to avoid confusion and better brand their product to appeal to global markets.

On Monday, Oct. 22, the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County will present a candidates forum featuring two contested races for state offices in the Nov. 6 General Election. The event will begin at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Geneva High School, 416 McKinley St., Geneva. The public is invited to come and ask questions of the candidates.
The forum will feature candidates for the 25th State Senate District, Jim Oberweis (R) and Corinne Pierog (D); and 50th State Representative District Andrew Bernard (D) and Kay Hatcher (R).
A primary goal of the League of Women Voters is to encourage educated and active participation of citizens in government. The League, a nonpartisan organization that never endorses candidates for any office, offers forums like this one before every election so that citizens may have an opportunity to hear candidates express their opinions in an unbiased, civil setting. It is hoped that those who attend will be better able to understand candidate capabilities and viewpoints so that they can make informed choices when they vote on Election Day.
For updated information on League forums, check local or online media, lwvckc.org, or contact Barbara King at 630-879-2263 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

More than 40 million Americans suffer from some type of arthritis, making it one of the most common medical problems in America.* It is also the No.1 cause of disability in the country.**
The three most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects nearly 21 million people in the United States.** It is characterized by the breakdown of joint cartilage, usually in the hands, weight-bearing joints like knees and hips, and the spine in the lower back and neck. OA can cause stiffness and joint pain as well as decreased range of motion.
OA can be caused by joint injury or overuse. Women have a higher risk of developing the disease, as do people who are overweight, those over age 45 and those with certain hereditary conditions.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory condition that causes pain and swelling in joints. In RA, the immune system attacks the synovium, the tissue that lines the joint, and causes inflammation that damages bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Eventually, the joint loses shape and alignment.
More than 2 million Americans are affected, and the disease is more common among women.** Other risk factors include heredity, smoking and exposure to an infection. RA generally strikes at a younger age than OA.
Gout is a painful disease caused by deposits of uric acid in the connective tissue and joint spaces. It causes swelling, redness, pain and stiffness in the joints, usually in the feet. Men are more prone to the disease than are women. Excessive alcohol consumption and certain medical problems, such as untreated high blood pressure, can increase risk of developing gout.
Prevention and Care
There is no treatment to cure arthritis. Joint replacements may be done to help OA sufferers. Pain medications may alleviate symptoms, and immunosuppressant drugs can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Although there are some factors for arthritis that are uncontrollable, like age and heredity, you can control the following to help prevent the onset of arthritis:
If you already suffer from arthritis, exercise can help you manage symptoms. Range-of-motion exercises can help maintain joint movement and relieve stiffness and pain, while aerobic activities such as walking or biking can improve cardiovascular health and help with weight control. Holland Hospital Rehabilitation Services offers arthritis evaluation and therapy programs with those goals in mind; a doctor's referral is required.
In addition to exercise, get plenty of sleep and follow your treatment plan. You don't have to let arthritis slow you down.

Pittsburg State tied for 23rd place Saturday morning in the NCAA Division II women's cross country championships at the Missouri Southern course.
The Gorillas and Stonehill each scored 544 points, 10 behind Ferris State and 15 ahead of Tampa.
"Actually we did pretty well," Gorillas coach Russ Jewett said. "We had a couple of physical problems with about two kilometers to go with a couple of our girls, but we had some other girls step up and pick up the slack.
"We were tied for 23rd overall, and our goal was top 25 coming in. The national meet, any little problem is magnified. We could have been higher probably, but I was proud of our girls for fighting in the middle of the race to put ourselves in a position to achieve the goal that we had, and we did that."
Senior Kaley Temaat was the Gorillas' first finisher, crossing in 89th place in 22:05 for 6K. Sophomore Alex Moase was next in 22:26, placing 110th.
PSU's other finishes: sophomore Bridgette McCormick (No. 134, 22:40), sophomore Cate Dunn (No. 143, 22:43), junior Casey Epps (No. 172, 22:58), freshman Hannah DeVries (No. 199, 23:28) and senior Amanda Callaway (No. 206, 23:35).

These sheets are amazingly soft. Ordered queen sheet set and they will easily extra large depth mattresses. Color is beautiful and they launder with almost no wrinkles at all. Did not find the elastic on the fitted sheet to be too tight or cheaply constructed. I think that I will be ordering more sheets for the other beds in our home as well.
I wasn't sure about microfiber, having been a cotton or cotton blend fan all my life. But I needed a grey full sheet set for my son's room, and this was the best-looking, best-priced option of the few available on any site I checked. Wow, they're wonderful. They're unbelievably soft and wash like a dream. The color stays true. I'm in the process of ordering another set because I like them so much better than his other sheets.
These sheets are extremely thin. As point of comparison, the fabric used for the sheets is as thin as a lining for a light weight garment. I purchased these sheets because I was convinced by the number of positive reviews instead of paying closer attention to the negative ones. I have NEVER seen sheets this thin. Perhaps the fabric differs depending on the color choice. (I ordered "Bone".) The sheets I received had loose seams and there was some discoloration on the pillowcases. My advice is to consider the negative reviews more closely, and look for a better quality product.
I have now ordered two sets of these sheets. My boyfriend loved them so much he requested I buy another set. They wash beautifully and come out of the dryer wrinkle free. I have 600 thread count sheets and these are much softer. I will definitely buy them again and again.
First off, I washed before I put them on my bed and they are very soft and much warmer than they felt. I will point out that they are very oversized, so if you do not have a thick mattress, it may be very bunched up and wrinkled. I have a cal king, so not sure if this is just a mattress size issue. We have been pleased with them so far and will buy microfiber fabric most likely in the future.
These are some of my favorite sheets! They're soft, and hold up extremely well in the wash!
I'm not one that is picky about super soft sheets so to me, these are great. They fit my bed perfectly, I love the color, and they have lasted so far.
Thin..but right now in summer that's what I wanted.
I hate sateen sheets. I specifically look for cotton, not slippery sheets. These did not state anything about being more like sateen than regular cotton. Had to return.
These sheets are super soft, a very good value. I bought 2, and will probably buy more.

On Tuesday, at a ceremony in Manhattan, she will be presented with a $10,000 scholarship and a Scholastic Art and Writing Award, an honor previously won by Truman Capote, Joyce Carol Oates and Sylvia Plath. In the fall, she will enter the University of Pennsylvania.
Victoria herself cannot fully explain her unsinkable nature. "I had no choice," she said. "I'd wake up in the morning, go to school, do well and then the same thing the next day." Her lowest grade was 92 in Algebra II.
With both parents incarcerated and their home in foreclosure, Victoria and her siblings were in danger of being placed in foster care.
Her aunt Megan Mitchell-Hoefer, an elementary school principal here in Greenville, saved them from foster care.
"I called Aunt Megan one night from my room," Victoria said. "I told her there's no time, and I don't know what to do. I hung up and a few days went by."
Ms. Mitchell-Hoefer did not want to be another person making flimsy promises. "I wanted to drop everything," she said. "But I just had a child. I needed to speak to my husband."
He said of course. Ms. Mitchell-Hoefer brought along their 4-month-old on the 10-hour drive to Memphis. "I called from the car," the aunt said. "I told her I'm on the way."
That was four years ago. Victoria and her siblings have lived with their hero aunt's family since.
Victoria had hoped that her father, whose prison sentence recently was greatly reduced, would be able to attend Tuesday's ceremony. He was not.

A photo of China's Jade Rabbit moon rover taken by the Chang'e-3 probe lander on December 15, 2013. Jade Rabbit has sent back photos from the moon after the first lunar soft landing in nearly four decades.
Beijing: China's Jade Rabbit rover vehicle has sent back photos from the moon after the first lunar soft landing in nearly four decades marked a huge advance in the country's ambitious space program.
The Yutu, or Jade Rabbit, was deployed at 4:35am (7:35 Saturday AEDT), several hours after the Chang'e-3 probe landed on the moon, said the official news agency Xinhua.
The rover and lander began taking photos of each other late Sunday, including one that showed the bright red and yellow stars of the Chinese flag on the Jade Rabbit as it stands on the moon's surface.
Researchers work in the control room of the Chang'e-3 lunar probe after it landed on the moon and deployed a moon rover, at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing.
Xinhua said the photographing began at about 11:42pm after the rover moved to a spot a few metres away from the lander.
The colour images were transmitted live to the Beijing Aerospace Control Centre, where Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang watched the broadcast.
China is the third country to complete a lunar rover mission after the United States and the former Soviet Union - a decade after it first sent an astronaut into space.
Pics or it didn't happen: the rover and lander took images of each other. Photo: AP
Beijing plans to establish a permanent space station by 2020 and eventually send a human to the moon.
The mission is seen as a symbol of China's rising global stature and technological advancement, as well as the Communist Party's success in reversing the fortunes of the once-impoverished nation.
Ma Xingrui, chief commander of China's lunar program, declared the mission a "complete success" after the photographs showed the lander and rover were working, Xinhua said.
A message from the party's Central Committee, the State Council - China's cabinet - and the Central Military Commission branded the touchdown a "milestone" in China's space program, as cited by Xinhua late Sunday.
"One Giant Leap for China," read the headline in Hong Kong's Sunday Morning Post, evoking the words in 1969 of American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon.
The landing, nearly two weeks after blast-off, was the first of its kind since the former Soviet Union's mission in 1976.
The potential to extract the moon's resources has been touted as a key reason behind Beijing's space program, with the moon believed to hold uranium, titanium, and other mineral resources, as well as offering the possibility of solar power generation.
"China wants to go to the moon for geostrategic reasons and domestic legitimacy," said China space expert Joan Johnson-Freese, a professor of national security affairs at the US Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
"With the US exploration moribund at best, that opens a window for China to be perceived as the global technology leader - though the US still has more, and more advanced, assets in space."
