You might say Pete and Julie Mertz's shop was 12 years in the planning. In 1993, they built a Morton 60'x60' dirt-floored machine shed, intending that, as plans and finances permitted, it would someday become a shop.
The only visible evidence of their long-range planning was the full ridge vent, which let them install a ceiling later. Searching for ideas, Pete collected enough shop articles to fill a plastic container.
"Someday" arrived in 2005, when the Mertzes turned the shed into the shop of their dreams. Spacious and accessible, with unique storage features, a wash bay and a roomy office, it was named the winner of the shop category of Farm Journal's "I Built the Best" contest. That victory earned the Mertzes $500.
To convert the shed into a shop, the Mertzes poured a concrete floor, reinforced with ½" rebar on 2" centers. In the middle of the shop, in front of the door, the concrete is 8" thick—"heavy enough for semis," Pete explains. Under the office, on the west side, it is 5½" thick. On the east end, it is 6" thick.
Under the concrete is 2" of foam board insulation. Around the edges of the building, the Mertzes placed 2"-thick foam insulation board vertically, extending 16" into the ground.
The Mertz's shop is warmed by a propane-fueled radiant tube heater. "Radiant heat is nice and even, warming objects rather than the air," Pete says. "I considered an in-floor heating system, but I didn't want to give up floor space for the boiler. Radiant heat may be a little slower than floor heat for evaporating water from the floor, but it still evaporates quickly enough."
Wall-mounted heaters. In the office and bathroom are wall-mounted electric heaters. "We could mount them on the wall without losing any floor space," Pete explains.
A utility room in the same area is unheated but never gets cold enough to freeze.
Heating the shop for a full winter costs about $1,500, including the office and bathroom areas. "We keep the temperature about 62°F, which is warm enough to work in shirtsleeves," Pete says.
Heat is retained by fiberglass batt insulation in the walls and blown-in foam insulation in the ceiling. The walls and ceiling also contain a moisture barrier.
Illumination comes from three rows of 8' fluorescent bulbs. Each row contains four banks of two bulbs (for a total of 24 bulbs). The rows of bulbs are 15' apart.

In US, CAT sells only its CT660 vocational model, but in Australia its lineup includes two models namely the CT 610 and CT 630. Both Australian models were developed by NC2, a joint venture between Navistar and Caterpillar and you won't need to be an expert to see that between CAT's trucks and International's models there is a strong resemblance.
While the CT660 has a totally fresh design the 610 model is based on the International DuraStar and TranStar models. These vehicles don't share only the exterior design, but also the same interior and technologies. However, the CT610 isn't powered by Cummins engines, as at its hart sits a 470 hp CAT engine. The CT610 is as versatile as its International siblings and was developed especially for regional haul applications.

We won't see Eva Longoria planning her wedding at any local hot spots. She just couldn't make it stick with Miami "entrepreneur " Ernesto Arguello.
According to widespread media reports, the L.A. based actress split from her boyfriend of four months due to long distance issues. Or maybe she got a look at his bank account. According to Gossip Extra, he's basically broke and laden with debt.
The two met while the ex Mrs . Tony Parker was producing her disastrous dating show Ready for Love and Arguello was a contestant. The show was canceled before we got a chance to see his pick. But maybe he has a shot with that woman, whoever she is.

Andy Cohen recently blabbed that Jillian Michaels was basically the guest from hell when she stopped by his Bravo chat show, Watch What Happens Live. Cohen recounted that the celebrity trainer treated his staff the way she treats contestants on The Biggest L oser: harshly. Let's see how the fitness queen fares in South Florida. Michaels is headlining SweatUSA, billed as an All-Star Fitness Festival Oct. 11-13 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

On Wednesday, while singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett was on a day off in between his Jones Beach concerts in the New York area, the avid fisherman caught a whopper of a fish: a 350-pound, 74-inch long tuna in the waters off Nantucket, Mass.
Land shark? Not quite, but almost as big. "Look what ran into my line this morning!" Buffett, 66, said of his fish tale as he sent off a photograph with his impressive catch, caught by a camera mounted on his boat.
Now we know what the menu holds for the immediate future at one of his restaurants: Tunaburger in Paradise, tuna tartare, tuna steak, tuna casserole, tuna sushi rolls.
Buffett just released a new studio album, Songs from St. Somewhere, which features songs cut in Miami, Key West and other locales while dozens gathered Thursday on Hollywood beach for the groundbreaking of Buffett's 349-room, island-themed Margaritaville Beach Resort.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) The U-S-D-A plans to reduce an over-supply of cranberry crops, by buying $5-million of concentrate for federal nutrition programs. House Democrat Ron Kind of La Crosse announced the purchase, saying it's not nearly as much as he and others on Capitol Hill had wanted. They asked Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack to buy 50-million pounds of cranberries worth $30-million.
The lawmakers said record cranberry crops the last two years have put pressure on producer prices, as did a 50-percent jump in Canada's crop.
Kind and the other lawmakers said farm-level prices will be below the cost of production for almost half of all U-S cranberry growers. Wisconsin made 60-percent of the nation's cranberry crop a year ago, harvesting a record 4.8-million barrels.

iWeb still works in Lion, so there's no reason there to delay upgrading. Also, you can use iWeb to publish to your own host via FTP. It's true Apple won't be updating iWeb anymore, but iDVD has already gone through two iLife cycles without an update and it still works. As long as you don't need MobileMe and publish your site to a new host, you'll be able to use iWeb for at least another few years.
Thanks for the explanation, thefinite. Good to know!

House Tour: Phillip's Lower Haight Shared Arrangement
San Francisco
Name: Phillip Maisel
Location: Lower Haight, San Francisco
Size/Type: 5 bedroom, 2 bath
Years lived in: Rented for 2.5 years
Phillip moved to San Francisco from Chicago 2 1/2 years ago. His living situation is a typical San Francisco arrangement: multiple roommates sharing a house who've learned to compromise and co-exist with each other's differing styles and decor. Luckily, the apartment hasn't suffered from too many competing tastes. While it helps that the house itself has interesting and charming built-in elements, its fun vintage flare is what has definitely won us over.
Many of Phillip's vintage finds and family treasures play a large part in the house decor. Recently, his good friend Rob moved into the apartment, bringing even more thrift store and garage sale finds, along with his DIY style sense, with him. While a shared housing situation will usually never be ideal, in terms of home decor, we think Phillip's apartment is a good example of how you can still have a sense of yourself in your home while living with roommates.
AT Survey:
My Style: I like old things. I've always lived in old houses. I like the wear on the hardwood floors, I like seeing the layers of paint at the chipped edges of window frames. I love the architectural flourishes you get with older homes. I'm not actually sure I could ever live in a brand new place, something without some sort of history to it. Nostalgia seems to play a large part in my style as well. It's a nostalgia for both a personal and a collective past. For example, I have the assembly instructions for my childhood bunk bed up on my wall, but also most of my furniture is from a time period that I only know through movies and old magazines.
Inspiration: Visible history, mechanical things, modern-day anachronisms
Favorite Element: My vintage Formica table and matching chairs. It has really taken a journey to get here. My dad thinks it's from around 1948 to 1953. Originally, my dad got it from Broadway Antiques in Chicago. I borrowed it from him when I lived in Chicago, but when I moved out to San Francisco, I dropped the table off with my sister and her boyfriend in Kansas. After they broke up, it sat at my sister's ex-boyfriend's house for months, and I was desperate to get the table back. Luckily, when my current roommate Rob moved to San Francisco from Chicago, he picked it up in Kansas and brought it out here. I am very grateful to have it around again.
Biggest Challenge: Cooperating and compromising with four roommates. We have overlapping styles and there are always competing ideas about what to do with certain rooms or pieces of furniture. I've never had an apartment all to myself, so I've learned how to work with roommates on aesthetics. I pick my battles. Also, there's a lot of communication.
What Friends Say: I was told by a friend recently that I have the cutest boy room she had ever seen. I doubt it's true, but it's a nice thing to hear. People are generally impressed with the high ceilings and how big our place feels. There are five of us, but it never feels cramped.
Biggest Embarrassment: The clutter that is created with five individuals living together. For a while, we had a velvet Elvis painting which reigned over the middle room. I was glad to see it go.
Proudest DIY: My suitcase light clock I got at the DIY Trunk Show in Chicago a few years back. People always ask me if I made it, and as much as I'd like to say yes, it was made by nice bike messenger named Jeff. He only had one at the time and I'm glad I snagged it when I did. But in terms of my own DIY stuff, I've always liked my wall-mounted electronic goods packaging collage. I always get mixed reviews about it, but I don't care. I like it. There so much inherent design that goes into constructing those things.
Biggest Indulgence: I try not to indulge too much. I do go into Mickey's Monkey a bit too often, since it is literally around the corner from my house. I've bought a lot of things there for really reasonable prices.
Best Advice: Sit up straight!
Dream Source: Because of limited space, I try to not to dream too much about things, but I like Design Within Reach and looking through Dwell is always inspiring. When I buy a home, I want to use Heath Ceramics to line my bathroom and kitchen. I am amazed by, and dream of one day owning, an Arts & Crafts home. If I did, I would get Bradbury & Bradbury out of Benicia to do the wallpaper.
Dining Room: The blue couch in the dining room was given to me my good friend Ragnar, who bought it from Community Thrift on Valencia St. in San Francisco. The painting of the house above it is an original by my ex-girlfriend's father, Robert Tomlin. The white coffee table with the plant on it used to be a full sized table that Rob found at garage sale in Dekalb, Illinois. He then painted it white and pink and sawed off the legs and added wheels. The bird painting above the coffee table is an original by the talented Lisa Congdon. The high table in the dining room with the two chairs by the owls is from Crate and Barrel. The owls were given to Rob by a friend, Brandon who told him they will bring Rob good fortune.
Phil's room: The desk and Marushka prints were from garage sales in the suburbs of Chicago. The shelving unit is from Mickey's Monkey. I found my dresser off the street by my dad's house in Chicago. The lamp on my dresser is from an old vintage clothing store on Mont-Royal Avenue in Montreal. The blue typewriter is on an indefinite loan from my friend Suzanne in Chicago. She got it at this amazing place called the Dig N Save in Madison. The white typewriter actually types in cursive. I got it at a cute tiny vintage store called Smut in SE Portland. The black suitcase I inherited from grandfather. The other suitcase is from an amazing second-hand store in Montreal called Eva B.'s on St. Laurent. The map waste basket is from my great-grandfather's company, Weibro. A lot of my art work comes from friends as birthday cards, or gifts, or trades done at zine fairs, etc. I also make my own collages from various outdated sources and put those up as a reminder that I can make things sometime too.
Kitchen: The red high chair/step stool is almost exactly like one my family had when I was a child. I found it at Mickey's Monkey. The vintage cookware in the kitchen is my roommate Suzanne's from Cookin' on Divisadero Street.
Rob's room: Rob made the record shelf in his room. His atomic lamp used to be a chandelier that he salvaged. He flipped it and put a base on it. The pink floral tissue paper in Rob's bedroom window is from Xapno's on Haight Street. Almost all of Rob's toys have been given to him. Rob says, "People that mean a lot to me give me presents. Or maybe I mean a lot to them."
(Thanks, Phil!)

This is one of the best house tours yet. Good job, Sarah!
This is the nicest co-living decorating I've ever seen! Kudos, truly inspiring that multiple people can share a space in good taste and respect to such lovely elements.
Thanks for sharing!
this is gorgeous! seriously, I have never had housemates with this much style or who cared so much about where they live. Beauty beauty beauty.
every time i try to look at the slideshow it shuts down the safari application on my mac!
very lovely.
can i move in?
Great space! None of the roommates I ever lived with, with the exception of one, cared enough about our space to decorate it nicely. It was usually a case of revolving-door roommates who only needed a place to live for a year, etc. The one time I lived with a roommate who cared about decor, she only wanted her stuff and her style to be displayed.
Kudos to you guys for creating a nice home!
seriously, let a sister know if you are looking for a new roommate
I use Safari and I've looked at the slideshow several times without a problem.
Just FYI.
And thank you, AT for posting something that didn't require eleventy bijillion bucks to put together. This feels creative, in the sense that it is stimulating, but never "done". I much prefer that ethos to the "if only I can find the perfect X, I will be finished" or the "It all came in a kit from [insert store name here]".
Decorating and furnishing your living space is an opportunity to creatively reflect your changing sensibilities and circumstances. Thanks for reminding me of that.
It's very inviting and not intimidating. Everything looks like it belongs, not forced. I like the "lived-in" feeling it gives me. I can very easily see myself flinging my bag on the couch and making myself at home.
How long after the camera crews were gone did it look like a wreck again?
Apparently it takes several personalities and a different sex to decorate like me. ;) The house is unpretentious and unassuming, but shows distinct personality and homeyness. Love it. I'm a photographer, cellist, and avid cooking knife enthusiast haha so if any of males residing in that home care to marry a girl from Florida...give me a shout. J/K...maybe.
Its great. It shows that obsessed folks of the same goal with a different eye or understanding can live together.
I'm amazed that you've been able to achieve such a cohesive look in a house with multiple roommates. Looks great! I love the paper on the bedroom window.
if only my roommate and i could blend our tastes so perfectly!
I love that painting in pic 5 oft he slideshow! I think my favorite Indian restaurant has one very much like it and I would love to steal it for my family room. The warm colors are lovely!
what a great place!
This is a fantastic house tour. I love that it shows your unique style, but also looks like a cozy, comfy place to come home to every day.
I was so excited to see that you have one of those "bamboo style" bureaus. I got one as a hand me down from a roommate and I just painted it sage green. I really like you red/purple version!
incredible! airy, personal, tasteful, casual, awesome place!
I love the paint color in the kitchen. How do you keep it so clean with roomates??
Wall stickers : Wall Print ® means of expression and creativity for your spaces. Vinyl adhesives, sales of wall stickers, interior design and decorating, adhesive vinyl decals walls -
I thoroughly enjoyed your home! I came away with the impression that it reflects your personality. So creative, good job!

Are we on the brink of creating a human-like digital mind?
The human brain contains some 100 billion neurons, grouped in specialized function zones, connected by a hundred thousand billion synapses - the neurons representing individual data processing and storage units; and synapses the data transfer cabling, connecting all the processing units.
Correlating its processing ability to a supercomputer, it's been estimated it can perform more than 38 thousand trillion operations per second, and hold about 3.6 million gigabytes of memory. Equally impressive, it's estimated that the human brain executes this monumental computational task on a mere equivalent of 20 watts of power; about the same energy to power a single, dim light bulb. In today's technology, a supercomputer designed to deliver comparable capabilities would require roughly 100 megawatts (100 million watts) of power; an energy equivalent that could fully satisfy the power consumption needs of roughly a thousand households.
An ambitious $1.3 billion project was very recently announced in Europe to simulate a human mind in the form of a complete human brain in a supercomputer. It's named the Human Brain Project. A similar project in the U.S. planned by National Institutes of Health (NIH) is called the Brain Activity Map project.
Assuming we learn enough from these efforts to design a new architecture in computer processing which can approximate the ability of the human brain - what's to stop us from creating the cognitive faculties that enable consciousness, thinking, reasoning, perception, and judgement? After all, we as human beings develop these abilities from data we acquire over time through sensory inputs connecting us to our experiences, and from information communicated to us by others.
Think about it. Is there anything related to our experience - be it physical, historical or conceptual - that cannot be described in language, and therefore be input as executable data and programming to create a human-like digital mind?

Scott Bell 30+Mar 16 2013: I can imagine a path that that ultimately leads us back simply building humans from scratch.......I guess this would be driven by the constraining nature of energy requirements. The fact that it requires only 20 watts is a wee small indicator to researchers and designers I would think. Now, if we only had 3-D printers to print organs and thangs.....My money is on the biologists.

After a year's worth of diplomacy and red lines, President Barack Obama addressed the nation on Tuesday night to say although he believes a military strike on Syria is warranted, a diplomatic deal has altered his plan.
The speech delivered was not the one Obama planned to deliver a few days ago. While he did make the argument for limited military action as expected, he also held out hope for a diplomatic solution.
The presidential paradox that saw Obama deliver an awkward and delicate linguistic dance was created by Secretary of State John Kerry. When asked what Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could do to avoid a military strike, he said, "He could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week."
The remark was made off-handedly, but Russian leaders jumped on it and brokered a deal that Assad has accepted in principle, agreeing to turn over the country's stockpile of chemical weapons for destruction.
Obama made a rare trip to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to lobby members of Congress in person, urging them to authorize a limited military strike. In the end, he also asked them to delay the vote to give diplomacy a chance.
"It's too early to tell whether this offer will succeed, and any agreement must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments -- but this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force, particularly because Russia is one of Assad's strongest allies," Obama said.
Getting Assad to admit he has chemical weapons is a breakthrough in and of itself, but Obama's administration says the admission was only brought about by the threat of a military strike -- and that's why America's warships won't budge while the world waits to see whether Assad surrenders his weapons.
"I've ordered our military to maintain their current posture to keep the pressure on Assad, and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails," the president said.
Obama said the delay will also give international allies, including France and the United Kingdom, time to put forward a resolution with Russia and China at the U.N. Security Council that would require Assad to hand over his chemical weapons and destroy them.
Yet, he rounded out the address with a renewed call for supporting the strike. After beginning the speech with a focus on preserving the nation's security, Obama wrapped up with an appeal to the personal conscience.
"I'd ask members of Congress, and you at home, to watch video of the attack and then ask what kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas and we choose to look the other way," Obama urged.

Plumber Companies Calgary AB - Three
Problems Your Plumber Can Solve
If you're a homeowner than chances are you're going to need to put yourself in touch with a plumber sooner or later. No one's home is completely without problems, and unfortunately things break down, even in brand-new houses when everything is comparatively well-ordered. Below are a few scenarios in which you may find yourself relying on the help of an expert plumbing company.
Installing Gas Appliances
These days gas appliances have grown in popularity and there are many different types of appliances that utilize gas lines and natural gas to run. These range from BBQs to stoves to dryers, and if you're having one of these appliances installed in your home, it is best to contact a plumber who can help you out. Trying this on your own may be unsafe, and is generally not recommended.
Fixing Septic Systems
The septic systems in your home are what's responsible for transporting and getting rid of waste, and if they break down it can be a bit of an unpleasant situation to say the least. Many times the problem manifests outside your home, such as in your garden or in your yard if there is a breakage in the pipe. This issue demands immediate attention from a plumbing company.
Connecting Pipes & Remodeling
If you're planning on doing a renovation, particularly to your kitchen or your bathroom, a plumber is the person who you should call. They're the ones that can expertly run piping between these two rooms and ensure that everything is connected properly, and nothing is going to leak or overflow when you turn the water back on. This is not a job for an amateur, so make sure to get a professional on the task.
If you're looking for plumber companies Calgary AB but are concerned about finding the right one for you, don't be. We are an excellent group of plumbers serving the Calgary area and we'd be glad to help you.

Pete Abraham's post on Baseball | Latest updates on Sulia
Jose Iglesias wasn't moving too well in pre-game drills based on Bobby Valentine's estimation, so he was held out tonight. Iglesias will take some at-bats in a minor league game tomorrow but not play the field. "He said he was fine; he said he wanted to play; he says he wants to make the team but he didn't have a full stride for me," Valentine said. "So I said, 'better safe than sorry.' "

Yes, I recommend this product.
"These shoes are insanely comfortable! I was having some trouble with plantar fasciitis... a guy at RunFit Sports recommended these shoes b/c they have a flat bottom that eliminates the stress on the back of my arch. He could not have been more right. Within two days I was pain free. I will continue to buy these shoes as long as they are made... regardless of how ugly I think they are :)."

'Investing in Innovation' Grant Will Support
AFT Educational Foundation's Groundbreaking Work on
Teacher Development and Evaluation
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Education Department announced today that the American Federation of Teachers will officially receive a $5 million competitive Investing in Innovation (i3) grant to implement bold and comprehensive teacher development and evaluation systems in New York and Rhode Island.
The AFT has raised the $1 million in matching funds required under the i3 grant program.
"This grant is confirmation of our work as innovators and leaders in education reform," said AFT President Randi Weingarten. "The i3 funds will allow us to expand our current efforts to boost student achievement by building evaluation systems that help develop great teachers with the support and resources they need."
The AFT Educational Foundation's winning proposal focused on the Educator Evaluation for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (E3TL) Consortium, which was jointly formed by the New York State United Teachers and the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers. The consortium is helping districts implement the performance-based teacher development and evaluation systems that were designed with startup funding provided by an AFT Innovation Fund grant. The consortium will work in 10 districts across the two states.
"Strong teacher development and evaluation systems are essential to ensuring that every public school can offer all students a great teaching and learning environment that is provided by good teachers and supported by good leaders," Weingarten said. "This grant will help New York and Rhode Island move forward to implement their groundbreaking teacher development and evaluation models that will help support and develop excellent teachers for our children."
# # # #
The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

Assassins Creed III by Ubi Soft is a title that I have resolutely avoided. Why? Because I knew that I would be engulfed by the gameplay, the aura of the game and just not be able to stand waiting years for the next installment to hit. Now that there are several games in the series available on PS3 and Vita and now the Wii U, I am finally ready to tear into it. Here are some screens to whet your appetite as we wait just over a day for the official launch.

Deltapine Launches Three New Varieties
After an intense year of testing and evaluating by 200 producers across the Belt, Deltapine will launch three new varieties for 2012 as part of its popular New Product Evaluator (NPE) program. The announcement was made at a special event in Charleston, S.C., last month.
More than 150 farmers were on hand for the kickoff presentation, which offered a chance for extensive question-and-answer sessions with Deltapine officials.
The new varieties scheduled for release are: DP 1212 B2RF, DP 1219 B2RF and DP 1252 B2RF. Here is a detailed description of each variety.
DP 1212 B2RF – This is an early maturing variety for the Northern High Plains of Texas and other early season markets. It has a similar yield and fit to DP 0912 B2RF but with better fiber quality. Company officials say its plant size and management recommendations are similar to easier-to-manage genotypes.
DP 1219 B2RF – This is a broadly adapted variety across Texas with a combination of yield and fiber quality potential. Its early maturity fits the Northern High Plains and Panhandle growing regions and tends to shift to a mid-maturity range in the Southern High Plains and East Texas. Farmers say it has the potential to fit most environments and management systems in Texas, plus it has a fit on deep, sandy soils of the upper Southeast and Arizona for seed production.
DP 1252 B2RF – This new variety fits well in irrigated fields and productive soils in the full-season markets of the Mid-South and Southeast. According to farmers who evaluated it, this variety is very responsive to management and yield environment.
Broad-Based Fit For Varieties
Ironically, at this event last year, two new varieties were announced for the Class of 2011, but neither was specifically designated for Texas, although DP 1133 B2RF did have a fit for East Texas along with the lower Mid-South and parts of the lower Southeast.
The Class of 2012, however, has two varieties specifically targeted for Texas. And, in an even more ironic twist, these two new Texas varieties also appear to be adaptable to other parts of the Belt.
"Even though DP 1212 and DP 1219 are a good fit in Texas, they could also be adapted in the Carolinas or the northern part of the Delta," says Dave Rhylander, Deltapine marketing lead.
"That's part of the NPE process. We never know where the varieties will fit until after the evaluations are finished, and the producers weigh in."
Rhylander is confident that the NPE program will continue to grow because of the number of farmers who participate and ultimately attend the event where the new commercial releases are announced.
For example, two years ago, only 50 percent of the NPE farmers attended the launch event in Charleston, S.C. Last month, more than 80 percent of the participants attended.
Popular Program
According to Deltapine officials, there are 204 NPE farmers across the Belt who participate in the program. That is probably the maximum who can evaluate new varieties because of seed availability.
"The interest in the program has increased each year," says Rhylander. "Consequently, we are seeing more farmers attending this event where we announce the new varieties. It's a wonderful way to get farmers involved in this process."
Dave Albers, Deltapine product development manager, says the main objective in this past year's NPE trials was to find new varieties that exceeded yield standards for DP 0912. By finding these varieties, Deltapine was able to improve its lineup for early season markets and especially those in Texas.
"Each year it's all about helping fill niche markets and making improvements in yield and quality," says Albers.
Reaction from producers has been positive. Blaine Nichols of Seminole, Texas, was extremely pleased with how DP 1212 B2RF performed.
The variety did well on his acreage even though he had an equipment problem during planting.
"We had a planter malfunction when planting DP 1212, which resulted in 37,000 plants per acre," says Nichols.
"It still ended up looking good, and it delivered good turnout and excellent fiber quality."
In the northern Mississippi Delta region, the reaction was similar.
"It was the best variety in our test," says producer Don Lynn of Kennett, Mo. "It made 1,099 pounds per acre, and that was probably as good as, if not better than, DP 0912 B2RF."
Seeing Is Believing
Perhaps the best example of how a farmer has benefited from the NPE program is producer Ray Sneed, who farms near Millington, Tenn., just north of Memphis.
He has participated in the NPE program for three years and likes the way DP 0912 B2RF has performed on his acreage for the last three years. He particularly liked DP 1212 B2RF because it outyielded DP 0912 by 20 pounds.
"I tested all three of the new NPE varieties for 2012, and I was very impressed at the yields and quality they produced in other areas of the Belt," he says. "I really think DP 1212 is one that we will try on our farm. I like the way it grew, and it had that extra yield. Plus, it seems to be a bit more manageable."
Sneed, who is part of a five-brother operation that produces cotton, corn, soybeans and wheat, believes that the NPE is one of the best programs that any company has offered in recent memory.
"I heard a speaker at this event say it best," says Sneed. "Do you want a scientist telling you what to plant, or do you want another farmer who's growing the variety telling you? It's the best way to pick a variety, and that's why the program is so popular."

FDA Update
FDA Clears Test for Ovarian Cancer that Could Guide Surgical Decisions
Last week the FDA cleared the use of a blood test that can help determine whether a pelvic mass may be cancerous for women who have already been selected for surgery. When combined with other types of information, the test, called OVA1, can help patients and their health care providers decide which type of surgeries should be done and by whom, the FDA said in a statement.
Studies have shown that women with ovarian cancer survive longer when their surgeries are performed by gynecologic oncologists rather than by general gynecologists or surgeons. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists have recommended that women be referred to a gynecological oncologist when specific signs of cancer are present.
OVA1 works by testing the blood levels of five proteins that vary in the presence of cancer. Based on these levels, the test produces an overall score between 0 and 10 to indicate the likelihood that the pelvic mass is benign or malignant. How the test is interpreted depends on a woman's menopausal status.
The FDA decision was based on a study of 516 patients that compared OVA1 results with biopsy results. When combined with presurgical information, such as radiography and other laboratory tests, results from OVA1 tests identified additional patients who might benefit from an oncology referral who had not been identified using presurgical information alone, the agency said.
"Tests such as OVA1 personalize and improve public health by providing patients and health care providers with more information to support medical decisions that impact survival rates and reduce surgical complications," Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, acting director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in the statement.
Committees Recommend FDA Approve Cervarix and Gardasil
Last week, the FDA received recommendations to approve two vaccines against the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer.
The vaccine Cervarix is licensed in nearly 100 countries worldwide and approved by the World Health Organization, but it has been awaiting FDA approval since its initial application in 2007 raised concerns about possible side effects. Though structured as a bivalent vaccine to protect only against HPV types 16 and 18, Cervarix has been shown in a recent trial to provide cross-protection against three other HPV types and may also produce a higher degree of protection against precancerous lesions known as grade II cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN2+) than the vaccine Gardasil.
Gardasil has been approved for cervical cancer protection in females aged 9 to 26 since 2006, and targets two additional HPV types that are linked to genital warts, which can occur in males, as well. A second expert committee recommended FDA approval be extended to males in that same age group. The clinical trials on which the committee based its recommendation showed that Gardasil was 89 percent effective in preventing genital warts and had no side effects, though it was less effective in those who had already been exposed to HPV.

So … he went 10.5 miles and 75 obstacles with one arm and zero legs? Currently getting in my time machine so I can go back two hours in time and punch myself in the dick for calling off today's run. Because I had a touch of soreness.
BAMF of the Day: Cpl. Todd Love was left with just one limb after an explosion in Afghanistan in 2010.
But the 22-year-old wasn't about to let a few amputations stop him from competing this past weekend in the Beast, a brutal race that covers 10.5 miles of muddy, rugged terrain. Though Love's seven teammates helped him a bit along the course, he managed most of the more than 75 obstacles along the way on his own.
Love's goal was "…to push [myself] in all things physical, proving that overcoming obstacles isn't just something you attempt, it's something that you embrace."

A new outlet to increase awareness of the tragedy of Human Trafficking in King County was unveiled last week on a billboard along the East Valley Highway in Kent.
The ad space, donated by Clear Channel Outdoors, will advertise a national hotline and messaging aimed at reaching out to victims, potential victims and the public about where to turn for help. The 15 electronic and traditionally displayed billboards are located in Seattle along the Interstate-5 corridor, in Kent and Tukwila as well as Tacoma, Mill Creek and Bellingham.
"This issue isn't going away and I am pleased we are taking steps to alert the public about the horrors of human trafficking and where help is available to victims," said Metropolitan King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn.
Human trafficking, defined as compelling a person into any form of labor against their will, is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world, after illegal guns and drugs. Children account for half of the victims. Human trafficking can occur in any industry, including agriculture, construction, domestic service, restaurants, salons, commercial sex work, massage parlors, and small businesses.
The ads, in eight languages, encourage people to call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline at 1-888-3737-888 if they suspect someone may be a victim of human trafficking or if they are victims themselves.
Similar ads are being displayed on Metro Transit buses and on county websites and other resources. Clear Channel Media & Entertainment will also be airing public service announcements on their radio stations throughout the region as part of their $88,000 contribution to the awareness campaign.
According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, the following may be signs that someone is a victim of trafficking:
- Workers who have had their ID, passport, or documents taken away
- Workers who show signs of physical and/or sexual abuse, physical restraint, confinement, or torture
- Workers who show signs of emotional abuse
- Workers who are being threatened by or are in debt to their boss
- Workers who are under 18 and are involved in the commercial sex industry
- Workers who are not free to leave or come and go from their place of work as they wish
- Workers who don't seem to be receiving payment

The Lion's injury concerns heading into their home game Sunday against the Packers include defensive end Cliff Avril, who hasn't been cleared to play after suffering a head injury in last weekend's loss atMinnesota.
Defensive tackle Corey Williams remains day-to-day because of a right knee injury and safety Louis Delmas is still questionable because of a sore left knee. And Detroit NFC rival Chicago is dealing with quarterback issues. The concussion for Jay Cutler could be substantial considering the club signed Josh McCown on Tuesday.
Cutler missed the second half of Sunday night's 13-to-6 setback to Houston and his status for next Monday's game in San Francisco is uncertain. McCown, a 33-year journeyman, is familiar with the Chicago offense, having started the Bears' final two games last season after Cutler was sidelined with a broken thumb.

CALGARY – Devante Smith-Pelly got some advice from Ryan Getzlaf before leaving the Anaheim Ducks to join Canada's national junior hockey team.
"He just told me, being one of the guys that played in the NHL, just go in there and be a leader, but don't go in there thinking you're better than anybody else," Smith-Pelly said. "Those were his words of advice and I'm sure going to listen to them."
Canada got an unexpected boost when the Ducks loaned Smith-Pelly, a forward who has three goals in 26 games for Anaheim, to the Canadian junior team and the Tampa Bay Lightning did the same with forward Brett Connolly.
"You're always surprised to get them back," said Kevin Prendergast, the head scout for the men's national team. "They're two quality young men and they bring different aspects to what we need for our team to be successful. Connolly brings an offensive threat. He's creative, he's got great hockey sense, he's able to finish. Smith-Pelly's going to bring a physical presence for us, which is something we're really going to need."
Before the arrival of the two NHLers much of the attention heading into the selection camp, which runs through Wednesday, focused on who would not be attending. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (Edmonton), Sean Couturier (Philadelphia), Ryan Johansen (Columbus), Tyler Seguin (Boston), Jeff Skinner (Carolina) and Erik Gudbranson were all eligible to participate, but were not released by their teams.
While some players are reluctant to leave their NHL clubs to play in a junior tournament, both Smith-Pelly and Connolly insist they are happy to be in Calgary.
"Not a lot of guys get a chance to both play in the NHL and world juniors and then get to go back so I can't stop saying how excited I am," said Smith-Pelly, a Toronto native.
"Kind of bitter sweet," admitted Connolly, "but [this is] my second kick of the can here and last year obviously didn't go the way we wanted and I'm excited.
"I talked to [Lightning general manager Steve] Yzerman and he just wants me to develop and he thinks it will be good for me. I think it'll be really good for me too. It's a great tournament and there's lots of good players and we're going to have a good team this year."
Smith-Pelly and Connolly, who has four goals in 28 games for Tampa, believe their NHL experience should benefit Canada.
"I think my game's improved leaps and bounds in the last couple months just being around Teemu Selanne and Getzlaf, Bobby Ryan, Corey Perry, guys like that, and getting to be around them and practicing with them every day it's hard not to get better," said Smith-Pelly.
"It's been a whirlwind few months," said Connolly. "I got to play with Marty St. Louis, [Steven] Stamkos, Vinny [Lecavalier] and all the veteran guys who have been in the NHL forever. They've been great to me, taking me in and really showing me the ropes and teaching me how to be a professional and I've learned a lot from those guys."
Smith-Pelly did not make the Canadian team a year ago and has not forgotten that feeling.
"Not making it last year was pretty disappointing and when I did go to summer camp my goal was to try and impress and make sure that, if I was in junior, I had it in the back of their minds that I was one of the best players there," he said.
Connolly was on the team that lost in the gold-medal game to Russia last year in Buffalo. The Prince George, B.C. native is one of just four players at the selection camp who were on last year's squad, which blew a three-goal third-period lead against the Russians. Connolly needed some time to put that loss behind him.
"Quite awhile," he said. "It's something that the guys who were there last year will never forget and for me personally it took a little while to get over it, but this year's a new year and I'm excited to get a second chance."

I had the opportunity to travel to Chattanooga last Saturday
and be a part of Cassie and Ronnie's big day! They got married in a
Cassie and Ronnie met at the University of Tennessee and are
planning to live in Knoxville once they get back from their
nice honeymoon in the mountains!
A few blocks away from the church was a neat little downtown
area where we had fun in front of the little shops, and then of course
on the railroad tracks. Ronnie didn't seem extremely thrilled about
having his picture made...until he saw the trains! All of a sudden he
was all about climbing onto the trains in order to take a cool picture!
(which if you look close enough, you will be more impressed with his
climbing skills...considering he is wearing a CAST on his left arm after
breaking his wrist a few weeks before the wedding!) He made it a point
Below is Cassie with a few of her bridesmaids taking a stroll down
the street! The bridesmaid in pink is one of my closest friends, Johannah
Paiva. I'd met Cassie a few times, but then really got to know her
when she spent the summer living with Johannah and her husband Luke
in Birmingham. So although I tend to NOT book weddings on holiday
weekends, because they are dear friends, I genuinely wanted to be a part

Feds crack down on 'free' credit report offers
The feds haven't banned irritating 'free' credit report commercials, but they are making it tougher for consumers to be misled.
How many people, we wonder, have been burned by ordering a "free" credit report, only to find out they've unwittingly signed up for paid credit monitoring?
There is only one official site for free credit reports -- AnnualCreditReport.com -- and thanks to new action by the Federal Trade Commission, you'll have a better chance of landing there if you want a free report.
Starting April 1, those other sites -- which offer a "free" report in exchange for signing up for credit monitoring or some other service -- will be required to display in a very prominent way that the truly free site exists. Look for this wording at the top of each page, with appropriate links in place:
THIS NOTICE IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Read more at FTC.GOV. You have the right to a free credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com or 877-322-8228, the ONLY authorized source under federal law.
Sadly, the disclosure won't be included in radio and TV ads until Sept. 1. (That suggests we'll be seeing the same tiresome freecreditreport.com ads, green wool tights and all, recycled by Experian until then. Let's hope for the best. Meanwhile, you can watch the FTC's spoof of those ads here.)
The new FTC rules also address confusion experienced by some who have tried to use AnnualCreditReport.com. After we referred an acquaintance to the site, she reported back that she had been directed to a paid site. She likely clicked on one of the ads from the three major credit bureaus at the free site. Under the new rules, you'll no longer see ads there until you've pulled your three free credit reports -- one each from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion -- for the year.
Here's another little trick if you've never used AnnualCreditReport.com: You could order a free credit report from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion all at once. But if you space them out -- one every four months -- you'll be able to keep a better eye out for errors or for accounts that weren't opened by you, which may mean you've been the victim of identity theft. (Paid credit monitoring is recommended for ID theft victims. However, for most folks, it's easy and free to do it yourself.)
Why is your credit report important? The FTC advises, "Because the information in your credit report is used to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, employment, and renting a home, you should be sure the information is accurate and up-to-date."
If you want your credit score, you can either settle for an estimate or pay for it. (For more on that topic, read "The truth about free credit scores.") Another hack, described by our partner blog The Dough Roller, is to sign up for the credit-monitoring service at myFICO, get your FICO credit score, and cancel the credit-monitoring service within 30 days, before your credit card is billed for the $89.95 annual subscription.
That sounds like too much hassle to us, particularly when getting a free credit report is so simple.
Have you inadvertently signed up for a paid service when you thought you were getting a free credit score?

No need to rotate/zoom or that kind of thing. Normally it's just to check that the file shows the right thing or has the rights bits in it. Any suggestions on downloadable software would be great, cheers.

At the Tampa Port boarding was quick and easy. Got our sea passes and were able to board right away and get to our room. We headed for the pool bar w/friends to get some lunch, check out the ship and wait for our luggage to arrive in our room. We only waited about 2 hrs for it to arrive.
Room was large, comfy and clean. Had a huge walk-in closet with safe. Unpacked our clothes, still had empty cabinets left, and went topside to watch the ship leave port.
Dining in the main dining room every night was tasty and good selection of a variety of dishes. Our head waitress was from South Africa. Kari gave us her recommendations every night. She didn't steer us wrong on the choices. They could have used more beverage waiters at dinner. Beverage waiters were the only ones who could serve you mixed/frozen cocktails. We waited half our meal on the first day for a cocktail. We decided to have wine with dinner the rest of the cruise so our waitress could serve us that.
We didn't attend any of the nightly entertainment, but our friends did and said they were very talented and good. We hit the casino and won a bit- not enough to pay for the cruise, but the machines and table were adequate.
We had 2 excursions planned- Taste of Cayman- at Georgetown, Cayman Islands. That was a joke. The brewery was closed the day we were in port, so we were taken to a tourist trap called HELL. After that we went to the rum cake factory- another tourist trap and then on to the rum distillery. That place gave free samples, but was extremely hot for the equipment. Save your money on that excursion. In Cozumel we did the "Everyone loves Rays" tour. That was very educational and fun. Snorkeling was hard for us, so we sat and had a beverage at the snack bar awaiting our return to the ship. We also went to Carlos and Charlie's while in Cozumel so we could say we did it.
Back on ship, can't say enough about the staff. Everyone was friendly, always had a smile and made you feel welcome. Our suite steward- Riza was from the Phillipines and made us some great towel animals every nite. We had a great time on Jewel of the Sea and have booked another cruise for the same ports next year to try different excursions. Jewel of the Sea is a very comfy ship with just the right amount of passengers- 2,100 and 834 crew. We would highly recommend this ship.
