July 24th, 2012
Brian Scott farms with his father and grandfather on 2,300 acres of land in northwest Indiana. They grow corn, soybeans, popcorn, and wheat and he blogs about it at The Farmer's Life.
As we seeded our corn, soybeans, and popcorn on our Indiana farm this spring, there were many reasons to think that we would harvest a fantastic crop this fall. To start, we had a new John Deere planter equipped to help us plant with greater efficiency and accuracy than ever before. Then March came with temperatures 20-30 degrees above normal. Warm temperatures and dry conditions meant a very early start to planting on our farm. It seemed that with a long growing season ahead that the sky was limit for yield. That seems forever ago now.
A change in the weather
In a normal year (I'm not sure that's a real thing) we might start planting around the middle of April. This year we began on March 29. A March planting date for corn and soybeans is all but unheard of in Northern Indiana, but with daily high temps pushing 80 degrees instead of more typical mid-50s field conditions were right.
We talked about the risk of an April frost damaging young plants. In the end, we decided to go ahead with field work thinking we would have a head start when the rains came and pushed us out of the field.
Feds offer help to drought-stricken farmers
The rain never really did come for much of the United States. In fact, we stopped planting for five or six days to wait for chances of rain to develop. To stop planting because we'd like to see more moisture in the soil to aid germination is a strange thing for us. Usually we are waiting for fields to dry out so we can plant in the right conditions. But at the time, waiting for rain was not a big deal. Planting was still two to three weeks ahead of schedule, and with our new, wider planter we were covering 10 acres per hour more than last year. No need to get in a big hurry. It was best to wait for conditions to improve.
Going into June crops could not have looked better. I don't recall corn looking so good and so tall early in the season. "Knee high by the Fourth of July" is a goal that was achieved in late May and early June in all our fields. But it hadn't rained more than a few tenths at a time for several weeks, and those rains were few and far between.
We were impressed how great the fields looked despite the lack of moisture. We actually saw that as a good sign because we've had so much rain the last few years that crops didn't put down very extensive root systems. This year plants got to put roots down deep. That's better than shallow roots if the rain suddenly stops in a wet year.
As June rolled on, it just didn't rain. And it got hotter. A lot hotter. Daytime temperatures in the 90s became the norm. 100+ degree days came around far too often. By the time July 1 came around, the corn crop hadn't put on much more growth. I began saying that although corn looked very tall a month previous, it now seemed short taking into consideration how early the crop had been planted. Then it started to put on tassels and enter the pollination phase. That's when we first started to get concerned.
Impacts on 2012
Excessive heat is hard on a corn field trying to pollinate. Compared to soybeans, corn has a short window to successfully pollinate. Over the last week we have been in the fields sampling ears of corn. There are a surprising number of ears that I would call very nice ears in a good year. There are also ears that are very small, and some partially pollinated - which means they are not filled with kernels. And there are plants out there with no ears at all.
It's difficult to estimate what yield will be when harvest begins because we are finding a lot of inconsistency when we are scouting. Right now, we think crops on our best land could yield around 120 bushels of corn to the acre. That's about 50 bushels an acre lower than our five-year average. Ironically we received a much needed two inches of rainfall the night after CNN covered the drought from our our farm, but no amount of rain is going to improve our corn crop at this point.
Pollination is a one-time deal for corn. So whatever is out there now is the best we can get this year. If things cool off and some rains come we will gladly welcome them, but at this point our corn crop can only maintain its current potential. Should heat and drought persist, yields will continue to fall.
At this point I'm confident we will have a crop to harvest although all of our farm is considered to be under severe or extreme drought. Other parts of the country have it worse than we do. Farms in Illinois are mowing down corn crops. Fields intended for grain production have been harvested for silage of marginal quality to be used as feed for cattle. Ranchers are selling off their herds in record numbers because they don't have the resources to feed their animals.
I can find a few positive outcomes during this long period of drought. We still have some of last year's corn and bean crop in storage on the farm. Suddenly those stored bushels have become quite valuable. We just sold a few truckloads of waxy corn for $9 a bushel. That's very high. A historic high for our farm actually. Prices for new crops are soaring as well. Although unfortunate circumstances have brought about higher prices, it's the market at work that will help us minimize our financial losses along with crop insurance.
What fall will bring
It's been a tough year, and it's not over yet. Harvest can be such an exciting time of year but this year, few Midwestern farmers will look forward to it. Here's what I expect:
– I will have had months of watching our crops fail to meet their potential. Already as I walk through our fields, I see them decline a little more each day.
– Watching combine harvest yield monitors, some of the numbers are going to make me feel sick.
– We will start thinking about spring 2013. Hopefully next year we will learn what impact the changes in equipment and practices we made this year will have.
– We will feel the pinch of a really bad year. I know our farm will continue on. I can't speak for all farms, but I can speak for ours. I'll hope the same goes for my neighbors and friends. I'm confident we'll be a farming family for a long time to come and this is why.
My dad said it best in the Journal & Courier last week. "It's hard emotionally. Farmers work to be successful at all levels. We work to raise a good product. We have to get over that, manage our losses and go on."
This drought will pass, and we will be out next spring with renewed hope of a bumper crop.

SHERMAN, TX -- A Sherman home is destroyed by fire Wednesday afternoon.
Grayson County Fire Marshal, Kevin Walton, says an unattended burn barrel at a mobile home on Smith Oaks Road, got out of control, quickly spreading throughout the home.
A neighbor says he could only watch his friends house go up in flames.
"If you could put devestation in all one emotion that's the only way to explain it. I really don't know. I'm hurting -- hurting for them real bad," said friend, James Erwin.
No one was home at the time, officials are investigating.

Summer broke the other day and I went out walking in the damp dusk, sort of a lonely wake for the beloved season.
The wind had swung around to the northwest and it blew brisk and heavy with the sharp sweet scent of mint almost ready for the harvest. A versatile crop, mint — its oil adds the tang to both the chewing gum which attacks our teeth and to the fluoride-laced paste which defends our enamel against all manner of enemies.
In the field by the junior high a dozen or so kids, elementary age by the look of them, scurried about, clad in helmets and full pads. The shoulder pads, in particular, gave them ungainly and odd proportions — the broad upper body of a mature weightlifter attached to the skinny and short legs of the pre-adolescent.
Anyway it was pleasant to walk past and hear the inimitable clap of plastic pieces colliding.
Football, it seems to me, announces the imminence of autumn at least as reliably as the calendar.
The calendar insists, of course, that summer will persist almost a month more. And I didn't intend, by that "summer broke" crack, to provoke a debate about celestial matters.
Weather which at least feels to the skin like summer will return, and the mild traces of its presence might well linger til the brink of Halloween.
What I meant, though, is that we come every year to a junction, a distinct point of division at which summer begins its retreat. That moment, at least by my reckoning, most often arrives in August.
In any case the coal-colored clouds that cloaked the Elkhorns on Monday evening put on a pretty convincing performance as the harbingers of fall.
As I walked, swerving occasionally to bypass a puddle, I looked with an unusually discerning eye at the homes I passed. I paid particular attention to the yards.
What got me to thinking about yards, and what they look like, is campaign the city recently announced, an effort to enforce more aggressively the ordinances which are supposed to discourage people, to put it bluntly, from turning their properties into trash dumps.
I'm very nearly overwhelmed by ambivalence on this topic.
On the one hand, there are the people who acquire things with impressive facility but who are considerably less adept at disposing of anything more durable than toilet paper.
It annoys me that certain of these people seem oblivious to the reality that, so far as most of their neighbors are concerned, rusted out rigs, piles of rotting boards and heaps of empty motor oil jugs don't qualify as landscaping.
You won't find any of those items for sale at home supply stores, at any rate.
But on the other hand there is a document known as the United States Constitution.
That venerable treatise mostly eschews aesthetic matters, but it's quite specific about preserving the sanctity of private property.
And although the Constitution makes no mention of eyesores or nuisances, it seems to me that its authors — who said the government can't force people to supply room and board for soldiers in peacetime — probably would have bristled at the idea of government telling a homeowner what he can put in his back yard.
Of course there were no nuclear reactors in 1791, and I wouldn't want one of those powering a neighbor's barbecue or hot tub along on my street.
But Baker City's task in trying to legislate aesthetic standards is far more daunting than the extreme and unrealistic example in the preceding paragraph suggests (just where, for instance, are you going to buy the enriched uranium — the local hardware store?).
No one has the right, constitutional or otherwise, to pollute his neighbor's air or water.
Each of is, however, entitled to offend our neighbor's sensibilities.
Well, sort of.
The situation gets kind of complicated at this point.
Everyone seems to agree that a manicured lawn is unlikely to bother anybody.
But what about two decrepit lawnmowers on a patch of desiccated dandelions?
I'd rather look at the lawn, myself. And if I was taking visitors on a tour of town I'd probably avoid the block where the dilapidated mowers stand.
I have no qualms, either, about saying that junked lawnmowers are ugly.
But I shudder inside when I imagine that I own the lawnmowers and the government tells me to get rid of them, or at least put them in a garage, or I'll have to pay a hundred-dollar fine.
I don't own a garage, is the thing.
I've kicked around this conundrum for more than a dozen column inches now and I'm no closer to a conclusion than I was at the end of the first sentence.
I was afraid that's how it would turn out.
My great hope is that city leaders will continue to concentrate, as it seems to me they are doing now, on trying to ensure that no one, in using his or her private property, imperils anybody else's health.
Government's most sacred obligation, I believe, is to shelter each of us, as best it can, beneath a blanket of security.
And please try not to smother us with it.

Arizona State had two days off instead of one following a Saturday scrimmage for the first time this spring, and the result was a more energetic, harder hitting practice. Here is a look at some of what stood out to us as we watched the workout. -In the last two weeks, the Sun Devils practiced on the Monday following their scrimmages on Saturday. On the second such occasion, Dennis Erickson has his team workout in shorts and no pads because he felt as thought he didn't want them to have a big contact day so soon after the scrimmage. He said that had he set up the spring schedule, he would have had practices set for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday instead of Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. But this week, the Sun Devils only have three practices as they prepare for Saturday's spring game. Hence, they did not practice on Monday. The result was a more energetic, harder hitting first practice of the week. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

DENVER (AP) -- Peyton Manning will be the Broncos quarterback through at least 2014.
The four-time Most Valuable Player's contract called for a guaranteed salary of $20 million in 2013 and 2014 if he was on the Denver roster Tuesday, which marks the start of the new league year.
The 16th-year veteran had earlier passed a physical, so Manning was on the roster, as expected.
The final two years of his contract -- 2015 and 2016 -- are worth $19 million each, but are not guaranteed.
Coming off multiple neck operations, Manning threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns last season and was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He turns 37 on March 24.
Also on Tuesday, the Broncos agreed to terms with free-agent offensive lineman Louis Vasquez.

The district aims for more consistent discipline among schools, teachers
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
According to Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) data from the last two school years, the suspension rates of Black students in Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) are twice that of Black students suspended statewide. Additionally, more Black students were suspended in 2011-12 (4,336) than in 2010-11 (4,305). However, a Minneapolis teacher who spoke on the condition of anonymity believes that the district suspension numbers at some schools are "deliberately manipulated. "They will have an all-out bloody fight between a first grader and a third grader, and [school officials] don't want the kids suspended," observed the teacher. "What I'm seeing is there is no black-or-white spelled-out policy for infractions that leads to suspensions. Continue Reading →

Gonorrhea Test
Test Overview
Gonorrhea tests involve testing a sample of body fluid or urine to see if gonorrhea bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) are present and may be the cause of an infection. These tests are used to screen for or confirm a gonorrhea infection.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is usually spread during sexual contact. It does not always cause symptoms.
Several types of tests can be used to detect a gonorrhea infection. Most tests use a sample of body fluid from the affected area.
- Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT). NAATs detect and make many copies of the genetic material (DNA) of gonorrhea bacteria. NAATs include polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) and transcription mediated amplification (TMA). These tests are very accurate and can be done either on a urine specimen or a sample of body fluid from the potentially infected area.
- Nucleic acid hybridization test (DNA probe test, molecular probe test). Molecular probe testing detects genetic material (DNA) of gonorrhea bacteria. This test is done on the body fluid collected from the potentially infected area, most often the cervix or urethra. Samples collected from the throat do not always provide accurate test results. Often the molecular probe test for gonorrhea also tests for chlamydia, another STI with symptoms similar to those caused by gonorrhea.
- Gonorrhea culture. A gonorrhea culture is done on a sample of body fluid collected from the potentially infected area, such as the cervix, urethra, eye, rectum, or throat. The sample is combined with substances that promote the growth of gonorrhea bacteria. Unlike other gonorrhea tests, a culture can determine if gonorrhea bacteria are resistant to certain antibiotics.
- Gram stain. A Gram stain test is done on a sample of fluid from the penis or, less commonly, the cervix. The fluid is spread on a microscope slide and stained with a dye that can help identify gonorrhea bacteria. A Gram stain is less reliable than a culture or molecular probe test for detecting gonorrhea, but it produces faster results. Gram stain testing done on a sample from the cervix is not very accurate.
- Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, EIA). EIA testing is done on a sample of fluid from the penis or cervix. An EIA test detects substances that trigger the immune system to fight the gonorrhea infection (gonorrhea antigens). An EIA test is less accurate for detecting gonorrhea than a gonorrhea culture.
Why It Is Done
Tests for gonorrhea are done to:
- See if a gonorrhea infection may be causing symptoms such as painful urination, anal itching or bleeding, vaginal bleeding after intercourse, or abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina.
- Screen women who are
at high risk for a gonorrhea infection. Because a gonorrhea infection does not
always cause symptoms, screening is important. The U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends routine gonorrhea
screening for:1
- Women at higher risk for STIs.
- Pregnant women who have an increased risk for a gonorrhea infection.
- Check for infection in a newborn whose mother had gonorrhea at the time of delivery.
Treating a pregnant woman who has a gonorrhea infection can prevent an infection in her newborn. Screening may be done at the first prenatal visit. Another test may be done during the last 3 months of pregnancy.
In some cases, gonorrhea tests may be done to determine if a recently treated infection has been successfully treated. This is not routinely needed unless gonorrhea has occurred during pregnancy or your sex partner was not treated.
How To Prepare
Gonorrhea testing is done on:
- Fluid collected from the area of the body that is likely to be infected. Women should not douche or use vaginal creams or medicines for at least 24 hours before having a gonorrhea test.
- Urine. Do not urinate for 2 hours before a urine sample is collected.
How It Is Done
Direct smear
In a direct smear, a sample of body fluid is taken from the affected area. In adults, these areas may include the urethra, cervix, rectum, or eye.
- To collect a sample from the urethra or rectum, your health professional will insert a swab into the opening of your urethra or rectum to collect a sample.
- To collect a sample from the cervix, you will be asked to take off your clothes below the waist and drape a paper or cloth covering around your waist. You will then lie on your back on an examination table with your feet raised and supported by stirrups. This allows your health professional to examine your vagina and genital area. Your health professional will insert an instrument with curved sides (speculum) into your vagina. The speculum gently spreads apart the vaginal walls so the inside of the vagina and the cervix can be examined. Samples are collected from the cervix with a swab or small brush.
- To collect a sample from your eye, your health professional will gently brush the insides of your lower and upper eyelids with a swab.
Urine sample
If a urine sample is collected for nucleic acid amplification testing (such as PCR or LCR testing), do not urinate for 2 hours before the test. Do not wipe the genital area clean before urinating. Collect the first part of your urine stream, immediately as you begin urinating.
There are home test kits you can use to collect a swab or urine sample and bring it to the lab for testing.
How It Feels
Collecting a sample of fluid from the urethra, anus, or rectum may cause mild discomfort or pain.
Collecting a sample from the cervix may cause mild discomfort. Most women find that the procedure feels similar to a Pap test or pelvic examination. Some women feel slight cramping while the speculum is inside the vagina.
Collecting a sample from the eye is usually painless unless the eyelids have sores on them.
Collecting a urine sample does not normally cause any discomfort.
There is very little risk of serious complications from having a sample of fluid collected from the cervix, urethra, anus, eye, or throat. Women may have a small amount of bleeding from the vagina if a sample is collected from the cervix.
In rare cases, a person may experience a sudden dizziness or fainting (called vasovagal syncope) because of fear or pain when the swab is inserted into the urethra.
There are no risks linked with collecting a urine sample.
Gonorrhea tests involve testing a sample of body fluid or urine to see if gonorrhea bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) are present and may be the cause of an infection.
No gonorrhea antigens or DNA are found. If a culture is done, no gonorrhea bacteria grow in the culture. More testing for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) may be needed to determine the cause of any symptoms.
Gonorrhea antigens or DNA are found. If a culture is done, gonorrhea bacteria grow in the culture.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Urinating within 2 hours of collecting a urine sample.
- Contamination of a rectal sample with stool.
- In women, douching or using vaginal creams or sprays within 24 hours of the test.
- The use of antibiotics before the test.
What To Think About
- If a gonorrhea infection is suspected, avoid sexual intercourse until the test results have come back. If results point to a gonorrhea infection, continue to avoid sexual intercourse for 7 days after the start of treatment. Your sex partner must also be treated for a gonorrhea infection to avoid reinfecting you or to avoid infecting others.
- If you have a gonorrhea infection, all of your sex partners from within the last 60 days should be tested and treated. If gonorrhea is suspected, you may need to have tests for other sexually transmitted infections, including HIV infection.
- Only one laboratory test
(ELISA, DFA, PCR, DNA probe testing, or gonorrhea culture) is needed to
diagnose gonorrhea. Your health professional usually chooses which test to use.
- Samples for gonorrhea testing may be taken from more than one site.
- The nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are more accurate than a gonorrhea culture because they can detect both living and dead gonorrhea bacteria.
- A gonorrhea culture may be done after a positive nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or nucleic acid hybridization test (DNA probe test) if your health professional is concerned that you may have antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea.
- In the United States, your health professional must report to the state health department that you have gonorrhea.

Jaedenar (PvP, EU)
Jaedenar is a realm that went live in April 2006. The population is medium to high and has been the destination of several free migrations notably from Neptulon.
The Alliance:Horde population balance is better than on many other PvP realms, with a slight favor to horde. A rough estimate would be Alliance 1:Horde 1.3.
The realm was signifigantly boosted by the arrival of several high profile raiding guilds from Neptulon in early 2009 which have continued to dominate the realms PvE scene.
Unfortunately in August 2009, The Dark Embrace, previously a top 20 guild which dominated progress on Jaedenar disbanded.
Raiding from Crusader's Coliseum & On
With the release of the Crusader's Coliseum, three guilds dominated raiding on Jaedenar. Flare[H], Imbalanced[H] and United [A].

The debate over taxes and spending is underway in Augusta, as members of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee opened a series of public hearings on the Gov. Paul LePage's plan to balance the state's books through June. That plan includes about $153 million in spending cuts, including more than $35 million in reductions called for in a curtailment order issued late last year. To close most of the gap, LePage is proposing to tap into state contingency accounts, and make cuts in K-12 education. A.J. Higgins has more.
Members of the Legislature's Appropriations hear testimony on Gov. Paul LePage's budget proposal.
Since late last year, Maine lawmakers have been preparing for a major course correction in the current budget. It all started when revenue forecasters predicted a significant drop in tax collections. Because Maine's Constitution requires the governor to maintain a balanced budget, Gov. Paul LePage responded with a $35 million budget curtailment order, and then a larger plan to close the hole through the end of June.
Lawmakers are reviewing the governor's so-called supplemental plan, which contains $153 million in cuts and about $118 million in new spending.
Appropriations Committee Chair Peggy Rotundo, a Lewiston Democrat, says she's confident that the panel can reach consensus on the package.
"We are still looking at a bipartisan, unanimous budget, and we're confident we can get there," Rotundo says. "We have some work to do between now and then, but we'll get there."
About 70 percent of the total reductions in the plan come from three areas: State funding for local K-12 education, otherwise known as General Purpose Aid, would lose more than $12 million dollars. The plan would also defer more than $18 million dollars in GPA until July, the first month of the new budget cycle.
LePage also proposes tapping $20 million from other General Fund reserve accounts and another $40 million from the state's budget stabilization fund, otherwise known as the Rainy Day Fund.
Republican committee member Kathleen Chase, of Wells, says the revenue shortfalls have left the state with few options.
"We all need to have a surplus to fall back on in the bad days, but then again, this is a time for that," Chase says.
"When you think about it, what's the Rainy Day Fund there for?" asks Assistant Republican Senate Leader Roger Katz, of Augusta, who also supports the move. "It's there for very difficult times when it's raining, and it is, figuratively speaking, raining right now. And I think the governor's approach to using that fund makes sense."
And Kathleen Chase of Wells says the Rainy Day Fund would be likely be replenished when the panel takes up the governor's two-year budget next month.
One area that generated some discussion among lawmakers in the hearing was a $1.4 million reduction to a program that helps families adopt children with special needs who are state wards. The program cuts will affect more than 1,200 children.
But state Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew (left) says the money would be restored in the new two-year budget. "On average this is a reduction of about $11 per day per child over that three-month period," Mayhew told the panel.
The Appropriations Committee is scheduled to take up the governor's proposed cuts to General Purpose Aid on Friday.

I'm overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with the comments, emails and texts from friends and strangers alike about my last blog. The outpouring, while unexpected, was both comforting and terrifying.
"You just literally wrote every word inside my head and heart. No joke. I could go into some long explanation but as you know, it's not needed because those feelings you describe said it all."
"Ellen, I soooo get you! I've had the same struggle most of my adult life and I'm 60 now."
"Have you been reading my journal? I'm a guy and reading that was like looking in the mirror. I appreciate you. Thanks."
"You are sooo my hero! You're not the only one! I feel the exact same!"
A hero?! Wow. Some have put me on an undeserved pedestal. I don't claim to be an inspiration because I haven't achieved anything to be inspirational. (At least not yet.) Realizing now that many struggle the way I do, I've chosen to continue my journey publicly.
Selfishly I write because expressing my struggles releases the stress that consumes me. I write for me just like I'm losing weight…for me. I don't write to inspire. I don't write to get attention. I write solely to get the negative thoughts, the toxins, out of my body. A mental detox to work alongside the physical one if you will. If others can take something positive from my experience then I welcome you inside my crazy, scared, and hopeful mind.

Excessive speeding on icy roads is the suspected cause for a fatal crash Sunday night.
A 19-year-old from Colorado Springs was killed after being thrown from his vehicle and hit by an oncoming car. According to Colorado State Patrol, he was headed northbound on I-25 near the South Academy exit (mile marker 132) when he lost control. The teen was thrown from the vehicle as it began rolling off the road.
The crash closed the southbound side of the interstate from about 8:30 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. Monday.
State Patrol has identified the deceased driver as David Collas. They say he was not wearing his seatbelt.
The driver in the other car, 27-year-old Jamil Gadirov of Fort Carson, and his three passengers were all wearing their seatbelts and were uninjured.

Grad Profiles highlight the personal and professional stories of Founder Institute Graduates from across the globe.
This profile on Super Marmite, a graduate of the Paris Founder Institute, was written by Emma Tzeng. Founded in 2010 by Olivier Desmoulin, Super Marmite lets home cooks connect with hungry meal searchers in Paris.
Julia Child, French food enthusiast and graduate of Paris's own Le Cordon Bleu, famously wrote, "In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport." Residents and tourists alike know this very well, as Paris enjoys a worldwide reputation as being a haven for food and pastry aficionados.
As diverse and historically rich as the culinary scene in France is, sometimes simply choosing where to dine can be downright overwhelming. French startup Super Marmite understands that finding a reasonably-priced, well-prepared meal in the nation's food capital, Paris, can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack at times. That's why founder Olivier Desmoulin has set out to make dining in Paris more personable, communal, and affordable with Super Marmite, which allows home chefs to post dishes they are preparing for the evening online, set prices, and invite meal-seekers to buy and pick up or join them in their homes to enjoy their culinary creations.
"The idea was to create a neighborhood menu with dishes cooked by locals," Desmoulin explains in The New York Times. "I thought to myself, 'All around me there are people cooking simple meals. Surely amongst all of them there [is] the dish I was dreaming of, something cooked with love.'"
With Super Marmite, home cooks simply log on to the website and post the dish or dishes they are preparing for the evening. Such homemade creations generally sell for about 3 to 8 euros each, or $5 to $11. Chefs can then specify a location for food pick-up or invite guests into their home to partake in a meal together. Super Marmite is great for aspiring chefs hoping to gain local exposure, meal preparers who want to share their leftovers for a profit, and adventurous foodies searching for an authentic meal off the beaten path.
Desmoulin first conceived of the idea one evening when he ran out of groceries at home.
"It was late; I was hungry; and sure, there's a lot of fast food in the neighborhood--kebabs and the like--but it's not exactly what I wanted," Desmoulin recalls. "It's a lonely feeling, you know, and I thought there must be plenty of people around here who cook, preparing little meals."
Super Marmite has essentially tapped into Paris's network of foodies and home cooks and provided an accessible platform for them to connect over meals. With a mission as delicious and agreeable as that, it's difficult to say who wouldn't be on board with Super Marmite.

Google and other major search engines support the schema.org vocabulary for structured data. This vocabulary defines a standard set of type names and property names, for example, http://schema.org/MusicEvent indicates a concert performance, with startDate and and location properties to specify the concert's key details.
Data in the schema.org vocabulary may be embedded in an HTML page using any of three alternative formats: microdata, RDFa, and JSON-LD.
Microdata and RDFa define new HTML attributes that let you indicate what schema.org field names correspond with what user-visible text on the page.
JSON-LD is the newest and simplest markup format: it lets you embed a block of JSON data inside a
scripttag anywhere in the HTML. Since the data does not have to be interleaved with the user-visible text, it's much easier to express nested data items (say, the Country of a PostalAddress of a MusicVenue of an Event). Also, Google can read JSON-LD data even when it is dynamically injected into the page's contents, such as by Javascript code or embedded "widgets".
Google is in the process of adding JSON-LD support to more markup-powered features. So far, JSON-LD is supported for all Knowledge Graph features, sitelink search boxes, Event Rich Snippets, and Recipe Rich Snippets; Google recommends the use of JSON-LD for those features. For the remaining Rich Snippets types and breadcrumbs, Google recommends the use of microdata or RDFa.
For help authoring well-formatted markup, try Google's Structured Data Markup Helper. Most importantly, whichever format you choose, test your markup's correctness before deploying it!

This Sunday (9/22) around 3:44pm is when Fall starts up! Looking forward to a bit cooler weather,
so I can whip out cute boots. Love boot and light sweater weather. Fall Food Rocks too. I've been
hearing more people cooking w/ the crock pot, so I thought I would share a recipe I ran across from
(Hungry Girl) . I will have to put my crock pot to the test. Maybe this weekend to celebrate Fall!
Ooey-Gooey Crock-Pot Apple Goodness
1/8th of recipe (about 1/2 cup): 137 calories, 1.5g fat,
42mg sodium, 31g carbs, 3.5g fiber, 17g sugars, 1.5g protein
-- PointsPlus® value 4*
Dig into a big bowl of warm apple deliciousness without turning on the
stove or oven. The YUMS just keep on coming…
8 cups sliced Fuji apples
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup all-natural light whipped topping (like Truwhip Light)
Place apples in a crock pot sprayed with nonstick spray. Add lemon juice and toss to coat.
Add brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Toss to coat.
Evenly top apples with oats.
Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, until apples have softened.
Allow to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
Top each serving with 1 tbsp. whipped topping, and enjoy!
HG FYI: Fujis ROCK, but this recipe can also be made with any type of sweet apples,
like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Gala.
Since today is National Talk LIke A Pirate Day, here's a Rum Drink to give a try!

Some long running successes
IT'S NOT always that easy for cross country and track and field athletes from our area to compete in their sports at the Division I level, but here are some success stories this fall.
After starring as a hurdler at Nitro from 1986-88, Caldwell competed for four years at Kent and was named the Outstanding Performer at the 1992 Mid-American Conference outdoor championships, winning MAC titles in the high jump and heptathlon. She went on to be a member of the U. S. national heptathlon team and still sits second all-time at Kent State in the indoor and outdoor high jumps.
"She was an incredible athlete from the moment she arrived on campus," said Rod O'Donnell, Caldwell's coach at Kent State. "I am not sure she realized how good she could be until about her junior year. Like many kids, she matured at that time and began to set high goals for herself and dedicate herself to her sport and her training."
While watching college football Saturday, I couldn't help but think back to the years 1963 and 1969.
In 1963, Texas defeated Roger Staubach and Navy 28-6 in the Cotton Bowl to win the national championship. In the opening game of that 1963 season, that same Navy team and Staubach ran over, around and through WVU in Morgantown 51-7. Texas won another national title in 1969, defeating Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl.
Back then, the gap between the Longhorns and the Mountaineers program seemed a million miles wide. Now, with its Big 12 debut on the books, WVU is now in the same conference as former Southwest Conference power Texas and former Big 8 power Oklahoma.
The growth of the Marshall program is also astounding. In the mid-to-late 1960s, the Thundering Herd was just trying to snap the nation's longest losing streak. Now it played at Big Ten Purdue Saturday and has national championships and Heisman Trophy finalists on its resume.
It amazes me that while the population of our state, and our pool of Division I athletes has shrunk, the college football programs at our two Division I schools have continued to grow.

Nonprofits often seek grants from foundations for new projects or ongoing financial support. During an informative webinar, presented today by John Hicks, CFRE, for the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), he discussed ways to build positive relationships with foundations.
His 'elements of a good relationship' include: trust, communication, shared values, honesty, and respect…as he noted, the elements of any good relationship. Learning about a foundation's mission, values, culture, philanthropic philosophies, and practices, is critical to assessing a good match and possible funding opportunity. If mission and values clearly aren't in alignment, he urges grant seekers to not waste their own or the foundation's time in pursuing a relationship.
His 'six rules of engagement' build on those elements. Nonprofits need to know:
Stating that, like other types of fundraising, people give to people the trust, he encourages nonprofits to keep foundations informed about their work and outcomes before and while seeking funding from them. The relationship is a professional one, not a personal one, that needs to be treated much like working with an attorney to prepare a case: the grant-seeker preparing a case to the foundation and the foundation professional preparing a case to his/her board, grants panel, or the donor, directly.
These and many other grant-seeker/grant-maker resources are available at ONEplace and through the AFP website. If you have tips for developing positive relationships with foundations, please comment on this blog.

If you or someone you care about is affected by an eating disorder, it is important to seek help!
One out of every one hundred women suffers from Anorexia Nervosa and three out of one hundred women suffer from Bulimia Nervosa. Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa are serious mental health illnesses that can have significant and sometimes irreversible medical complications that can lead to death. The incidence of eating disorders is also increasing in very young children and in males.
The professionals at the Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey, Pennsylvania offer a full range of treatment options for children, adolescents and adults with eating disorders. Conditions treated include Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and Other Non-Specific Eating Disorders. Who should be referred to these programs? Warning signs and symptoms include: preoccupation with food and weight, distortion of body image, restriction of food intake, vomiting after eating and loss of menstrual periods. While criteria for Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa are well established, it is increasingly evident that many patients especially adolescents may present with symptoms of an eating disorders, that do not fulfill the complete criteria.
Services range from outpatient treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization/day treatment. Inpatient hospitalization is available for children and adolescents. In all cases, patients work with a knowledgeable and experienced multi-disciplinary treatment team to maximize potential for recovery.
Goals of treatment include medical stabilization, nutritional rehabilitation, control of abnormal eating behavior, psychological treatment and prevention of relapse.

Inside a Cecil store
24 Jan. 2013
CBR to carry out own retail
The CBR Group (Street One, Cecil) will lead its own retail stores, starting from February 2013. The fashion group which previously relied solely on a partner-based retail model will take over 34 sales areas in North Rhine-Westphalia, Northern Germany and Berlin from its long-time distribution partner, the Fashion Concept Group. The transaction is subject to agreement by the Competition Protection Office.
Christoph Rosa, CEO of the CBR Fashion Group: "Through possessing our own stores we are moving closer to our costumers and getting to know them better. Thereby we are able to react faster to their wishes and needs. Furthermore we provide the conditions to serve the attractive large city positions even better in the future."
The areas should be transferred in a new founded subsidiary, all employees will be retained. CBR's own stores will complement the successful partner-system, even though the heart of the CBR concept will still be the wholesale-business, as Christoph Rosa underlined.
The CBR Fashion Group, Celle, was founded in 1980 and counts with its brand Street One and Cecil to the leading fashion companies in Germany and Europe.

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Clinic has told workers they will be laying off an unspecified number of employees as part of an overall, sweeping cost-reduction plan.
Clinic CEO Dr. Toby Cosgrove discussed the looming cuts and changes in a Wednesday morning all-employee meeting.
Clinic spokeswoman Eileen Sheil denied circulating rumors that employees were told there would be 3,000 jobs cut.
She said any layoffs will be part of a multi-year plan to cut $330 million from the Clinic's budget.

Realted story: History | World-renowned Cleveland Clinic
The Clinic is the region's largest employer with roughly 42,000 workers.
Sheil said personnel represents 60 percent of the Clinic's budget.
She said early retirement would be offered to 3,000 eligible employees. Most vacant jobs are not being filled.
She attributed most of the budget reductions to looming changes accompanying the start of the Affordable Health Care Act.
Sheil said the Clinic had not made overall layoffs in the past 11 years.
She declined to give a specific figure on how many jobs could be lost.
Sheil said that depends on how much savings individual departments can make with other reductions.
She added that any layoffs would be across the board, including doctors.
The Clinic issued the following statement:
"To prepare for healthcare reform, Cleveland Clinic is transforming the way care is delivered to patients. Over the past several years, we have had an ongoing focus on driving efficiencies, lowering costs, reducing duplication in services and enhancing quality to make healthcare affordable to patients.
Although we have made progress, we need to further reduce costs to the organization by $330 million in 2014. We are carefully evaluating all aspects of our system to accomplish this. Some of the initiatives include offering early retirement to 3,000 eligible employees, reducing operational costs, stricter review of filling vacant positions, and lastly workforce reductions.
Through these changing times, we are focused on providing the highest quality of care to our patients in the most efficient and cost-effective manner."
Meanwhile, another major hospital in town, MetroHealth Medical Center, responded to the developments at the Cleveland Clinic.
"MetroHealth is well poised to meet the challenges and opportunities of the Affordable Care Act," said Dr. Akram Boutros, President and CEO of MetroHealth. "We have been gearing up and transforming the healthcare delivery process to improve patient care, outcomes and satisfaction, and reduce costs, which are essential elements for success under new models of reimbursement."
Metro did not comment on whether any future cuts are coming on its end. In 2011, the hospital system laid off 450 employees.

The EuroSolarCooker was designed, directed and successfully tested in Lorraine, France. It allows you to cook meat, sausages, poultry and fish but it does not boil large quantities of water. It can also be used in educational purposes or for demonstrations. This cooker is made of four reflective panels that focus sunlight on a frying pan with lid made of transparent Pyrex. The jig is placed on a wooden bottom that rests on a horizontal reflective panel. One of the main advantages of this cooker is its simplicity.

- "Nobody fucks with my family!"
- ―Niko Bellic shouting at the guards
Hostile Negotiation is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV triggered after a phone call. Niko saves Roman after he is kidnapped by Johnny Klebitz.
Provided the player has completed Photo Shoot and Have a Heart, Niko Bellic will get a call from Mallorie, saying that Roman has been kidnapped. He's at the warehouse off Lompoc in Industrial. Niko travels to the warehouse to rescue his cousin.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the warehouse where Roman is being held
- Roman is on the top floor. Rescue him
- Use Free Aim to take out the kidnapper and free Roman
- Follow Roman
- Take Roman back to the Bohan safehouse
Go to the warehouse where Roman is being held. Grab the AK-47 outside of the warehouse as extreme firepower is needed, especially in the warehouse which is full of cover, and guards. At first, the thugs will not notice you. You need to kill these guys to show them not to mess with you! Using the element of surprise, take a burst of shots at a group of enemies and aim for the heads. Take out every guard from the first floor while in cover. Some are in cover too, so go inside and finish them. Remember to always take cover and use blind fire when possible, and try to kill any guards on upper floors too. Walk up the stairs to the second floor and look to your right. About five goons are hiding. Shoot them and use their cover to kill the rest of the people on the second floor. It is possible to shoot the fuel tanks that are out of the crate, causing a large scale explosion, ending any nearby enemies. There is a guard just before the stairs to the third floor, who will drop some well needed armour once killed, should you need it.
Make your way to the third floor and shoot the goons on the roof that become visible, one shot is enough to send them sliding and the fall will kill them. The last guard has heavy armor and will need several shots to kill. Walk into the last room after he is dead and a cutscene shows Roman Bellic and an unknown kidnapper emerge from the back of the room. The kidnapper has Roman in a chokehold, with a gun to his head. Take cover, and quickly free aim at the killer's head. If you take too long, the kidnapper will fire at Niko, and eventually execute Roman. Use any gun, but the pistol is the safest, and shoot the kidnapper.
Once Roman Bellic is freed, a scene will play where Roman will thank Niko for his rescue. Follow Roman and get into the nearby Bobcat, and drive him to your safehouse in Bohan. Make sure the truck doesn't hit any explosive barrels near the warehouse as this will blow you up.
After this Roman reveals his gambling addiction and also a few in-game hours after you drop Roman off, he will call you to inform that he has purchased a new penthouse in Middle Park East, Algonquin to hide from Dimitri. You can now use that as your safehouse. Also because Roman is making a great deal of money, he's bought a new fleet of cabs for his Cab Service. Instead of the rusty old Esperantos, they are now gray Cavalcades.
Tip: When you're at the point to where Roman is held at gunpoint, quickly switch to your sniper rifle (if you're equipped with one). It's a preferable alternative since it can guarantee an accurate and precise shot.
Video Walkthrough
- Many of Dimitri's men - Killed by Niko in the shootout.
- Roman's Kidnapper - Killed by Niko for taking Roman hostage.
- This mission is similar to the GTA VC mission Death Row (when you have to save Lance Vance from Ricardo Diaz's men), as both involve rescuing one of the players close allies from a deserted area, both have a certain time limit to do so before their ally is killed, neither has a monetary reward, both eventually unlock a large and superior safehouse, and both involve killing a large amount of gang members who the player used to be on good terms with.
- If Niko leaves the warehouse while instructed to rescue Roman, Roman will die and the mission will fail.
- If the player calls Dimitri after receiving the picture message of Roman held hostage, Niko will describe how he will cut off Dimitri's face and hang it on his wall to remind himself of what a "lying, cheating, treacherous scumbag" looks like, ending the call with "Goodbye, friend", referring to Dimitri's previous text messages always ending with "your friend, Dimitri."
- This is the only mission in GTA IV Mallorie gives you, although she only gives you the mission through a phone call.
- The events in Hostile Negotiation mark one of the many links between the GTA IV storyline and its episodic counterparts. In this example, the events shortly prior to this mission are played through the perspective of Johnny Klebitz in The Lost and Damned episodic content. It is revealed that Johnny Klebitz kidnapped Roman because Ashley owed Dimitri's men a favor after acquiring a large debt. This side of the kidnap, the mission name is Roman's Holiday, and has Johnny and Malc kidnapping Roman after gambling at his usual spot and then taking him to the warehouse in Bohan's Industrial District.
- Niko has unique taunts related to Roman's kidnapping when he is fighting the mobsters during this mission, such as: "Take my cousin, will you!?", "I'm leaving here with Roman!" no one fucks with my family" ,and "you will not harm my cousin" . Some of his taunts were not showed on the subtitle, one of them has humorously word from Roman's taunts.
- The events of Roman's kidnapping are also briefly referenced in the original GTA IV storyline, in the form of Roman sending Niko a text explaining how a biker kidnapped him, clearly referring to Johnny Klebitz.
- If you try to land on the roof of the warehouse with a helicopter, you will be shot by two guys standing on the roof with rocket launchers.
- The staircase where you will go down (after you have rescued Roman) can actually be used to speed up the mission (on the part when you are about to save him); instead of going to the yellow marker, go upstairs, then you will hear the dialogue of Roman and the captor (because you are already at the same floor with them, only that you are outside the warehouse). Most of the henchmen from inside the building will take aggressive action and go up the stairs as well, making them prone to gunfire and, therefore, easier to kill (they have no cover). So it makes the mission a killing spree instead of a takedown.
- If you have Dwayne's special ability, you can call him and he will send two of his guys round to help, which makes for a terrific advantage.They will leave when you get to the point where you have to kill Roman's kidnapper.
- Since this mission is unlocked in TLAD after the ambushed Johnny witnessed Billy Grey's arrest in Chinatown, and Billy arranged Johnny's ambush while seeing Luis, who was in the bank heist, this mission, storyline wise, occurred sometime after the mission Three Leaf Clover.
- The cutscene when you save Roman actually is reused from LCS, if you look closely, it's the intro cutscene of LCS in Sal's Place when Salvatore puts both arms in Toni, but now it's Niko and Roman.
- When Mallorie is introducing the mission to Niko on the phone, she says that her friend 'saw Roman playing at card club in Hunt Point' This may have been the original name for Chase Point, but it was changed in development, but the script was unedited.
- If you die while leaving the warehouse with Roman, once you spawn back at the nearby hospital, Roman's and Niko's conversation will still go on.

A clothier was a merchant who creates, alters, or repairs clothing. Clothiers who specialize in dressmaking are known as dressmakers, while clothiers who specialize in men's suits and trousers are known as tailors.
Elim Garak was a tailor on Deep Space 9 following its takeover by the Bajorans and the Federation. He ran a shop on the Promenade named Garak's Clothiers. He claimed to greatly dislike being a tailor, especially when compared to his past work with the Obsidian Order, but he nevertheless was extremely skilled. (DS9: "Past Prologue", "Improbable Cause", et al)
Quark was one of Garak's customers. (DS9: "For the Cause")
When Q visited Deep Space 9 in 2369 he changed his Starfleet uniform to match Commander Sisko's and "approved of the new tailor" Sisko had. (DS9: "Q-Less")

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Whether you live in a tight city apartment, the suburbs or in the open country, there are things you can do to take advantage of your outdoor space.
Adding features like patios, walkways and retaining or sitting walls make outdoor space usable and easy to maintain. Decks are another option for providing your family with additional space for outdoor enjoyment. You can build decks to any size or design.
However, before starting on any big projects, it's important to talk about your goals and your budget.
"When planning an outdoor project and talking to contractors, remember to talk to them about what you want to have as your end goal. And it might be that you are looking at a five-year plan for getting this project all done. And then make sure you find someone who listens to you about your budget so that they know exactly how much you can spend and where you can make the most impact in your yard right of the gate," said Angie Hicks of Angie's List.
Other things to consider are rules and regulations. A deck may require a building permit since it's usually attached to the house. Most built-in fire pits are regulated to be installed at least 25 feet from the home.
