KENNEDY ON THE INTRODUCTION OF THE 21ST Century ALERT Act
As Entered into the Record
Thirty seven years ago, a Republican President and Democratic Congress came together in a new commitment to find a cure for cancer. At the time, a cancer diagnosis meant almost certain death. In 1971, we took action against this deadly disease and passed the National Cancer Act with broad bipartisan support, and it marked the beginning of the War on Cancer.
Since then, significant progress has been made. Amazing scientific research has led to methods to prevent cancer, and treatments that give us more beneficial and humane ways to deal with the illness. The discoveries of basic research, the use of large scale clinical trials, the development of new drugs, and the special focus on prevention and early detection have led to breakthroughs unimaginable only a generation ago.
As a result, cancer today is no longer the automatic death sentence that it was when the war began. But despite the advances we have made against cancer, other changes such as aging of the population, emerging environmental issues, and unhealthy behavior, have allowed cancer to persist. The lives of vast numbers of Americans have been touched by the disease. In 2008, over 1.4 million Americans were diagnosed with some form of cancer, and more than half a million lost their lives to the disease.
The solution isn't easy but there are steps we can and must take now, if we hope to see the diagnosis rate decline substantially and the survival rate increase in the years ahead. The immediate challenge we face is to reduce the barriers that obstruct progress in cancer research and treatment by integrating our current fragmented and piecemeal system of addressing the disease.
Last year, my colleague Senator Hutchison and I agreed that to build on what the nation has accomplished, we must launch a new and more urgent war on cancer. The 21st Century Cancer ALERT Act we are introducing today will accelerate our progress by using a better approach to fighting this relentless disease. Our goal is to break down the many barriers that impede cancer research and prevent patients from obtaining the treatment that can save their lives.
We must do more to prevent cancer, by emphasizing scientifically proven methods such as tobacco cessation, healthy eating, and exercise. Healthy families and communities that have access to nutritious foods and high quality preventive health care will be our best defense against the disease. I'm confident that swift action on national health reform will make our vision of a healthier nation a reality. Obviously, we cannot prevent all cancers, so it is also essential that the cancers that do arise be diagnosed at an initial, curable stage, with all Americans receiving the best possible care to achieve that goal.
We cannot overemphasize the value of the rigorous scientific efforts that have produced the progress we have made so far. To enhance these efforts, our bill invests in two key aspects of cancer research-- infrastructure and collaboration of the researchers. We include programs that will bring resources to the types of cancer we least understand. We invest in scientists who are committed to translating basic research into clinical practice, so that new knowledge will be brought to the patients who will most benefit from it.
One of the most promising new breakthroughs is in identifying and monitoring the biomarkers that leave enough evidence in the body to alert clinicians to subtle signs that cancer may be developing. Biomarkers are the new frontier for improving the lives of cancer patients because they can lead to the earliest possible detection of cancer, and the Cancer ALERT Act will support the development of this revolutionary biomarker technology.
In addition, we give new focus to clinical trials, which have been the cornerstones of our progress in treating cancer in recent decades. Only through clinical trials are we able to discover which treatments truly work. Today, however, less than 5% of cancer patients currently are enrolled in clinical trials, because of the many barriers exist that prevent both providers and patients from participating in these trials. A primary goal of our bill is to begin removing these barriers and expanding access to clinical trials for many more patients.
Further, since many cancer survivors are now living longer lives, our health systems must be able to accommodate these men and women who are successfully fighting against this deadly disease. It's imperative for health professionals to have the support they need to care for these survivors. To bring good lifelong care to cancer survivors, we must invest more in research to understand the later effects of cancer and how treatments affect survivors' health and the quality of their lives.
We stand today on the threshold of unprecedented new advances in this era of extraordinary discoveries in the life sciences, especially in personalized medicine, early diagnosis of cancer at the molecular level, and astonishing new treatments based on a patient's own DNA. To make the remarkable promise of this new era a reality, we must make sure that patients can take DNA tests, free of the fear that their genetic information will somehow be used to discriminate against them. We took a major step toward unlocking the potential of this new era by approving strong protections against genetic discrimination in health insurance and employment when the Genetic Nondiscrimination Act was signed into law last year.
In sum, we need a new model for research, prevention and treatment of cancer, and we are here today to start that debate in Congress. We must move from a magic bullet approach to a broad mosaic of care, in which survivorship is also a key part of our approach to cancer. By doing so, we can take a giant step toward reducing or even eliminating the burden of cancer in our nation and the world. It's no longer an impossible dream, but a real possibility for the future.

A while back, I thought I had it all worked out... but when I wrote out the favorites (including some of the names in my sig) with our surname, they just looked ridiculous. Way too long and elaborate. I love fanciful names, but I don't think our last name is elegant enough to carry them off!
I seem to have a thing for three syllable names though, especially for girls... so I've done my best to whittle them down and work out full combos.
Think of Weatherman as our last name (ours is also W and long).
Rowena Claire (or Rowenna? - I want it pronounced Rowenna, with Winnie as possible nn, but I kind of prefer the Rowena spelling. Advice appreciated!)
Amabel Jane
Marian Lily
Guilty pleasure- Juniper Noemie
Theodore James
Cedric Emil
Liam Kennelly
Guilty pleasure- Jude Peregrine
Which is your favorite from each list?
Do you like the boy GP or girl GP better? Obviously we could not use both, since they are so similar.
If you could add one suggestion for each gender (FN + MN combo ideally), that would be wonderful! Thank you.

After years of watching his children and grandchildren wander from their faith, Iddo's prayers are answered: King Cyrus is allowing God's chosen people to return to Jerusalem. Jubilant, he joyfully prepares for their departure, only to learn that his family, grown comfortable in the pagan culture of Babylon, wants to remain. Zechariah, Iddo's oldest grandson, feels torn between his grandfather's ancient beliefs and the comfort and success his father enjoys in Babylon. But he soon begins to hear the voice of God, encouraging him to return to the land given to his forefathers.
Bringing to life the biblical books of Ezra and Nehemiah, Return to Me tells the compelling story of Iddo and Zechariah, the women who love them, and the faithful followers who struggle to rebuild their lives in obedience to the God who beckons them home.

"Absolutely Amazing"
Lynn Austin's historical Biblical fiction has a way of bringing the Biblical history and prophecy narratives to life. So many things I've read and just passed by are contextualized in a way that makes me want to re-read and get a more full bodied grasp of the story lines. This narrator is one of my all-time favorites. Just an absolute pleasure on all levels.
Zechariah. Just understanding the process of a young boy being called to become a priest and prophet and following this progression, imagining what that would have been like, makes it so much more tangible and accessible to my spirit.
The incredible inflection and tone of her voice, excellent ability to sound like various characters and so lovely to the ear. She enhances the reading of the book.
Almost weeping with joy and amazement over the victories God brings after such harrowing challenges.
"I love it! My kids love it too!"
I love how Ms. Austin sticks to Scripture. There's no theological 'fudginess' in the book, so I never have to stop the book to explain things to my children.
I enjoy Ms. Austin's biblical history novels the most, but Francine Rivers' Mark of the Lion series is also excellent.
I'm not sure. Her voice sounds familiar, but when you listen to a lot of audio books, sometimes people get blurred.
Iddo for sure. What a man of strong convictions and devotion to the LORD and His word! I couldn't imagine the trouble he and real people like him truly faced in their daily battles to remain in the land and remain faithful to the LORD.
This is a really encouraging book for people struggling to stand up for the LORD amidst trying circumstances. The Bible doesn't give every detail because it doesn't need to, but in listening to this book, I've found a new appreciation for those returning exiles and all the challenges they must have faced. We find that in our culture today where people don't want to listen to God's word or have perseverance in the face or seemingly overwhelming odds. The LORD was faithful then and He will be faithful now because He doesn't change. I just smile because it's a story filled with turmoil, but we know how it ends and it brings joy to the heart. My kids absolutely love listening to this book. We listen in the car and we often find ourselves just sitting at our destination because no one wants to stop the book!
A beautifully crafted novel with great character development. Narration was excellent. The story brings to life the struggles all people have had striving to follow God while being led away by the distractions of the world. A great and needed message for the world today. Can't wait to start the next novel in the series.
"Good story"
I really enjoyed the story, there are many great lessons in the book. I felt the story dragged on a bit bit but over all it was a good book.
"Historical and Wonderful!"
I felt like I got insight into the ancient Hebrew experience. This book was interesting and the backdrop was spiritually engaging. The goodness of God us interwoven in these pages for a boost of faith in our own lives. Highly recommend!
"Great content and well-read!"
Characters were well-developed and when Raphie came after jael on her wedding night... Suspense was palpable! Narrator has a smooth voice.
"Wonderful picture of zacheriah"
I absolutely loved this story. It brought this bible story to life and gave me some idea of the real struggles of this time. The narration was stupendous. Of of the best narrators I've heard. Will read this one again.
"Return to Me"
The author follows the story line from the Bible
The character of Zachariah, how he sought to know God's will for his life.
First time
I identified with Dinah, grandmother of Zechariah. She left so much in Babylon to return home to Jerusalem. She was devoted to her husband after a real trial and then to God.
I have enjoyed other books by Lynn Austin. It has helped me understand the times and lives of Israel during the periods of the Kings.
"WOW!!!! Amazing and incredible series!!"
Biblical characters come to life! They jump out of The Bible and into your heart. Lynn Austin is always an excellent author but she outdid herself with this series! This author clearly has an anointing. Well worth the read!
"Awesome book!"
This is an awesome book and a great way to learn some Old Testament History!

Fresh Brothers solves heavy traffic delivery problem with virtual store
Anyone who has ever lived in, traveled to or read anything about Los Angeles knows that the city's traffic patterns are nightmarish. Such a narrative becomes especially haunting for restaurants with a delivery component.
Fresh Brothers Pizza delivers from its dozen brick and mortar locations throughout the area – from Calabasas and Westlake Village to Newport Beach. When the brand first opened its Beverly Hills store, it launched a major marketing push in the Westwood area near the UCLA campus. There was one issue, however: The menu said Beverly Hills.
"People in that area would never think to order from Beverly Hills," Founder Adam Goldberg said. "There are too many traffic barriers. It's the thought process by the consumer. They're locked into ordering from their part of town only."
Westwood is approximately 4 miles from Beverly Hills and 1.5 miles from Brentwood. Despite such closeness, however, the company still wanted to tap into UCLA's customers, but hit a proverbial (and literal) roadblock courtesy of LA's infamous freeway congestion – depending on the time of day, delivery could take anywhere from a half hour to 1.5 hours.
"There are major traffic patterns in LA between these two sites because you have to cross over the 405 and there is always construction and it's slammed," Goldberg said.
The company initially looked at expanding into the Westwood area to feed the pizza-friendly college demographic, but balked because of the proximity of the two other stores, the ubiquity of other pizza concepts and the "extraordinarily high" rent.
Fresh Brothers studied traffic patterns in the two delivery zones and found that sometimes it was better and more efficient to deliver from the Beverly Hills store at certain times, and sometimes it was more efficient to order from the Brentwood store at certain times. The idea is to serve the Westwood area with delivery from either store, depending on the traffic patterns. By the switch of an IP address on the company's end, Fresh Brothers can route its online ordering system between the stores based on the time of day.
"We came up with a different concept to serve the area, which is the virtual store," he said.
Customers in Westwood place their orders through a Westwood website or a Westwood phone number.
"Someone places an order and that orders goes to the Westwood store, but they don't know which store it's actually coming from," Goldberg said. "With this virtual store, we broke the consumers' thought process about ordering from another town. We knew if we called it Westwood, they would think they were ordering locally and that's where the food was coming from."
Prior to the virtual store, Fresh Brothers simply wasn't servicing Westwood because of the unpredictable commute times.
Benefits to the business
Goldberg said the idea not only benefits the customer, as it ensures a quicker delivery despite rush hour on the 405, but it also has been a boon to the company. It has saved about $400,000 to not have to open a physical store in Westwood, and has increased the two other stores' business by about 15 percent. Fresh Brothers hasn't added kitchen staff to make it work, just delivery drivers as needed.
"It has a great return. The concept is basically about using the four walls of our brick and mortar business and extending our delivery zone, but giving our customers the perception that it's coming from down the street rather than a store in an adjoining town," Goldberg said.
The virtual store has been open for about a year. Goldeberg said the idea could easily be translated to other locations and cities.
"It allows us to expand into a new market without the hard costs investments. What we're really doing is extending the delivery zone. It works perfectly for a delivery business," he said. "Consumers don't care which store their food came from, as long as they get their food fresh."

Square of our Lady
Frue Plads originally served as cemetery of Vor Frue Kirke (the Cathedral Church of Our Lady), and only to the west did the cemetery border directly on Nørregade. In the early Age of the Reformation Fiolstræde was carried through to Skindergade and Store Kannikestræde to Nørregade. After the bombardment in 1807 the cemetery was closed, and the square laid out. In 1853 the square had its present cobblestone paving with the beautiful, star-shaped limestone pattern. Along the wall of the University of Copenhagen there are busts of: Niels Bohr (1965), Japetus Steenstrup (1898), J.F. Schouw (1875), H.N. Clausen (1880), J.N. Madvig (1887), and Vilh. Thomsen (1929).

Feb. 10, 2008
February 11, 2008 - The FAU Arena (5,000)
Boca Raton, Florida - 7:00 p.m.
Live Audio
GAME #26: Florida Atlantic (11-14) will play four of their last six regular-season games at home, which includes Monday night's meeting with Longwood (6-21), an independent team from Farmville, Virginia. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at the FAU Arena. The Owls are riding a six-game home winning-streak and have won four straight overall.
THE SERIES: Florida Atlantic leads the all-time series 1-0. FAU defeated Longwood 81-63 last season in Farmville. Owls forward Carlos Monroe had 21 points and 12 rebounds in that game, with Jeff Parmer adding 16, shooting 7-of-9 from the floor. Paul Graham III added three three-point baskets and the Owls controlled the glass, out-rebounding the Lancers 45-28.
TV/RADIO/INTERNET: All FAU games this season will air live on commercial radio WMEN - 640 AM. Additional audio links to WMEN's radio broadcasts are accessible via Florida Atlantic University's official athletics website (FAUSPORTS.com). FAUSPORTS.com provides live scoring for all FAU home games via GAMETRACKER.
Rex Walters (2nd YEAR): Coach Rex Walters (Kansas '93) joined the FAU staff on April 20, 2005 and one year and eight days later he was promoted from associate head coach to become a head coach for the first time in his coaching career. In his first season at the helm (2006-07), Walters guided Florida Atlantic to its second-consecutive winning season. It marked the first time FAU posted back-to-back winning campaigns since the team enjoyed three straight years of .500-plus basketball from 1989-90 to 1991-92. Walters guided the Owls to 10 Sun Belt Conference wins a year ago, the third-most for a first-year Sun Belt member. The team also scored 2,321 points, the most in FAU history. As associate head coach under Matt Doherty in 2005-06, Walters helped the Owls close its tenure in the Atlantic Sun Conference with a 15-13 overall record and the program's best conference record at 14-6. Prior to Florida Atlantic, Walters' first collegiate coaching job came at Valparaiso, a two-year stint as an assistant under Homer Drew. His coaching career began in 2002-03 in Overland Park, Kansas, where he served as an assistant coach for the Blue Valley Northwest High School team that reached the Kansas Class 6A State Tournament. Walters' pedigree for coaching began as a player, receiving tutelage from some of the game's legendary coaches. Roy Williams at the University of Kansas and the NBA's Chuck Daly, Larry Brown and Pat Riley all mentored Walters during his years as a player.
RESURGENT OWLS MOVE TO 6-7 IN SUN BELT PLAY: Paul Graham III had 18 points and four of his teammates reached double figures in scoring leading Florida Atlantic past visiting Arkansas State 87-81 at the FAU Arena in Boca Raton Saturday night. It was the sixth win in seven games for a resurgent Owl team that moved to 6-7 in Sun Belt Conference play after starting the year 1-7 overall. Florida Atlantic (11-14) raced out to a 19-5 lead and never trailed. Jeff Parmer and Carlos Monroe each had 11 first-half points allowing FAU a ten-point advantage at the break, 42-32. Ryan Wedel finished with 23 points for the visiting Indians (9-15), who have lost four straight. With FAU leading 78-68 with 3:03 remaining, FAU junior guard Carderro Nwoji made one of the Owl's eight three-point baskets to seemingly put the game out of reach. Nwoji, a junior transfer from Redlands College in Kansas, has started every game for an FAU team that used 10 different starting lineups in the first 16 games of the year. The Indians did stage a late rally. Fueled by a pair of three-pointers by Wedel, ASU closed the gap to 83-77 with 1:47 on the clock. But they were unable to complete the comeback, losing for the eleventh time in twelve tries this year on the road.
A QUICK LOOK AT LONGWOOD: The Lancers (6-21) enter Monday's game with FAU after dropping a 69-66 overtime decision at home to Savannah State on Saturday night. FAU defeated that same Savannah State team 94-68 February 2nd in Boca Raton. Prior to the weekend loss, the Lancers had knocked off NJIT on the road, 78-68, and picked up a home win over Southern Virginia, 102-73, to post back-to-back wins for the first time since early November. 5th-year head coach Mike Gillian (5th-year) receives a team-high 17 points per night from 6-6 junior forward Kirk Williams.
NEXT UP: On Saturday, February 16 at 8:05 p.m. ET, Florida Atlantic will play division leading South Alabama (20-4; 12-1 SBC) in Mobile. South Alabama defeated FAU 66-55 in Boca Raton on January 2nd. The Owls trailed by just three points at the half, 32-29, in that game, but the Jags overcame a poor shooting night by team-leader Demetric Bennett to pick up the road win. JC transfer Dominic Tilford came off the bench to score 20 points. The Jags enter the week with a perfect 12-0 record at home this season and are battling Western Kentucky for regular-season Sun Belt Conference Championship and rights to the top seed in the upcoming Sun Belt Postseason Tournament.
SIX STRAIGHT AT HOME: The Owls have run off six straight at home and own a 8-2 record in designated home games this season (7-2 overall at FAU Arena). FAU upped its Sun Belt Conference home record to 5-1 when they defeated Arkansas State 87-81 on Saturday night. Last season FAU was 11-2 at "The Burrow," winning all four non-conference home games and posting an impressive 7-2 mark against the Sun Belt.
SCORING EFFICIENCY: Spanning FAU's last seven games (six of which were wins) FAU has averaged 81.7 points per night. FAU is 5-0 this season when scoring 80 points or more. During this recent stretch of success the Owls have attempted on average, 6 fewer shots than their opponents, and are shooting 50.8% from the floor.
WINNING CLOSE GAMES: FAU is 8-5 in games this season decided by six points or less. Additionally, the Owls won its only overtime game of the year thus far, edging Denver 70-68 on Jan. 24th - a game played at nearby Lynn University (the game was moved due to scheduling conflicts with the 2008 Florida Republican Debates, which were held on the FAU campus that same night).
DOUBLE UP: FAU 6-foot-8 junior forward Carlos Monroe (Philadelphia, PA) has ten double-doubles this season. The Sun Belt's leading rebounder (9.2 rpg) also scores 16.2 points per night. His 17 points Saturday night against Arkansas State marked the seventh straight game and ninth time in ten outings he has reached double-figures in scoring.
10-7 IN LAST 17 OUTINGS: Dating back to Dec. 8th FAU has gone 10-7 in their last 17 outings, including winning seven of nine heading into Monday's game with Longwood. To ensure off season arena renovations would be completed in time, all seven of FAU's November games this season were played away from home. In turn, FAU opened the season 1-7.
Carlos Monroe REACHES 1,000-POINT PLATEAU: FAU junior forward Carlos Monroe scored 24 points against Denver on January 24 to become the sixth 1,000-point scorer in FAU history. Monroe passed Mike Bell with his performance and now stands in fifth place all-time on the career points list at FAU. Monroe has a chance to pass Damon Arnette for fourth place all time before the end of the season. Arnette scored 1,246 points in his FAU career.
FEELING A DRAFT: Former Owl guard DeAndre Rice became the first FAU player ever selected in the NBDL Draft on 11/01/07. Last year's team scoring leader was chosen 46th overall by the Tulsa 66ers with the fourth pick in the fourth round. The 66ers are the primary affiliate for three NBA clubs - the Dallas Mavericks, the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks.
WORKING ON NEXT YEAR: Rex Walters has announced the letter of intent signings of two new players for the 2008-09 season. FAU signed six-foot-six forward Dago Pena from Punta Gorda, FL. Pena averaged nearly 16 points and six rebounds a game as a junior. He was named class 5-A third-team all-state in Florida last year, and is a top 100 prospect in the nation according to Slam Magazine. The Owls also signed six-foot-two guard Shavon Shine from DeSoto High School in Arcadia, FL. Shine averaged 18 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals in his junior season. He was named to the Florida class 4-A honorable mention all-state team, and was named Charlotte Sun-Herald first team all-area. Both Shine and Pena are currently teammates on the highly respected Florida Rams AAU team.
20TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON: The 2007-08 season marks the 20th year of Florida Atlantic basketball. The Owls have enjoyed seven winning seasons in that time, including the last two campaigns under Matt Doherty and Rex Walters, respectively. The Owls posted an all-time best 21-7 record in 1989-90. The Owls made the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2002.
MONROE FOR PRESIDENT: Carlos Monroe began the 2007-08 campaign with big expectations and a groundswell of support from Sun Belt coaches. After earning second-team All-Sun Belt honors a year ago, Monroe was the only player promoted to the conference's first team this preseason. The junior is currently ranked among the elite in scoring (16.1) and field goal percentage (52.5%). Monroe leads the conference in rebounding at 9.3 a game. ONE SHINING MOMENT: FAU is seeking its second-ever NCAA tournament appearance this season. The Owls earned their only previous invitation with an automatic berth as Atlantic Sun champions in 2001-02. As a 15 seed, FAU pushed second-seeded Alabama to the brink in a hard-fought 86-78 first round loss. The Crimson Tide, possibly staggered by that stern test, fell to eventual Elite 8 "Cinderella" Kent State in a 71-58 final in the second round.
SHOOTING FOR THREE: Last February's win over South Alabama clinched a winning regular season for FAU for the second-consecutive year. The Owls are now trying to finish the 2007-08 season strong in attempt to string together three winning seasons for the first time since the program moved to D-I in 1995-96. FAU had three consecutive winning campaigns from 1989-90 to 1991-92 in Division II.

Canada Census, 1911 (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Canada Census, 1911 .
Record Description
Enumeration for the 1911 census began 1 June 1911.
These records include population schedules of the census. They also contain indexes to population schedules of the census. The official census date was June 1st. The national government of Canada has taken censuses every ten years since 1871, and every five years since 1971.
Provinces in Canada were divided into districts, which were then subdivided into sub-districts. Each district received a number and each sub-district was assigned a second number. In the more-populated areas of Canada, schedule 1 was used to record the residence, date of birth, immigration information occupation and other details. In the less-populated areas, schedule A1 was used to record the month of birth, age, place of birth, the marital status, and religion.
Census records give you details about individuals and their families. They are useful for finding people and their families at a time and place. Census records are often checked first by researchers because a large amount of information may be given about individuals within a family group.
Since the boundaries varied from census to census, it is not easy to tell which Census District an eastern Canadian township or western Canadian village was in.

I like the idea of the Sinar all dng workflow, but does this cover the complete range of Sinar and new Sinar/Leaf (Leaner) backs, or will it just be to the 31mpx product?
RD is not elegant and not easy to batch out a lot of small jpegs, but for those special images it's amazing.
From these answers, it looks like Phase is caught in a downwards trend. That is certainly unexpected.
So, in the real world, if you shot a job on Monday, and you came home on Monday night, and the client wanted to see Web Galleries of the job on Tuesday, what exactly is the workflow?You have to take what you shot, tweak the RAWs to your color taste, and then batch everything from this native format to DNG first?And then, you take all those DNGs and then you batch everything to JPG for web galleries to show the client?There is no way to simply make a web gallery from the RAW files?Thank you.
Here's what you do. Tweak your RAWS.Select all, hit save, and from the output presets choose "JPG Fast preview"I just tested it on a folder of 720 images. Phocus exported the preview files in 82 seconds.Each preview is 1082X812px (from a 31MP back) and each preview exactly matches whatever tweaks were made to the raw file.How's that?Nick-T
I am a bit troubled here reading my colleges posts about 5dII on order. Four here, two there etc. For a God sake this is still 5D. It is not a solution nor wholly grail of photography. Two months down the road you guys will be dumping them on eBay. Everybody around you is going to own one. There is a lot of ways to save money on equipment. Light is just a light so if you know how to use it the cheapest brand will do. When I go to car mechanic I do not care if he uses Craftsmen tools or cheap knockoffs as long as he manages to tighten the screws. But you know what? He does. I have spent hundreds of hours trying to convince myself that DSLR are good enough. I tried Canons with the best Leica glass, every possible option went through my hands. If I still carry big, heavy and old Rz with A75s it is because there is a reason. The reason is not to impress anybody, the reason is not to get paid more or land more jobs, the reason is not because clients appreciate the difference. The reason is very simple - I love and I am proud of what I do and I want to make the best images I am capable to make. If this was just a job than 5D would be just perfect. But if this was just a job I would not be writing about it right now. If I had to do it again I would hire someone to give me a Leaf DB with full frame Rz sensor. I will be OK if it stops working here and there as my wife made it her profession to entertain and distract clients, ADs and talent in those dire situations.Http://AndreNapier.com
That's pretty good, Nick. So this is similar to PreviewConverter, that was inside of CaptureOne 3.78? It would blow thru them quickly too.What happens if the client also wants FPO files too? I usually create FPOs at about 150dpi at about 9x12 inches. What would the workflow be then?And do you have any idea why people report sluggishness with Phocus? Do YOU think it would run on a MacBookPro?Thanks.
That'll work. After that you can have your machine process the files at its own pace. Maybe nice to share what machine you used? (I guess your 8-core MacPro).
I wanna be like Andre when I grow up Actually, I just started a thread on another "pro" forum speaking about MF and all the buzz... and how, for someone like me, it's exciting to see a glimmer of hope that it will be a tad more accessible monetarily. I swear I CAN see the difference between the 5D's and company. Was there any interest in the thread. Nope.If I had it all to do over again... I'd have started with a Rollei 6008 (maybe an RZ) and an Aptus of sorts ... but, I started with a 5D Oh well.
I don 't now what you shoot, or where you want your career to go, but it your starting out, or moving up stream your better off investing in what goes on in front of the lens, i.e. props, stylists, talent, locations, etc. than you are spending an extra $20,000 to $35,000 on the camera.In fact better retouching, (I mean really, really good retouching) is the great equalizer when it comes to the look.If you want a Rollei, buy it,like it, use it, enjoy it, but don't think it's going to change your career anywhere close to what I just mentioned.JR
the only time DAC has really done much for me is w/ the HCD28 - it took a some distortion out, but I could have done it in PS as well.
The distortion corrections are complex enough with a fixed lens, with the HTS they are really complex, I'd defy anyone to fix tilt induced distortion in PS easily.
(having spent 6 days showing people DAC corrections at Photokina).Nick-T
Sorry Guys,what's DAC?Murray
Thierry,I rolled the dice today and called MIKE FLUITT and talked to him. Honestly, there was no listed dealer for my state, so I thought it might be illegal for me to buy an Hy6 and a 65, but I risked breaking the law and called him. He's a very nice guy, and was pretty forthcoming with details. He recommended to call either Fotocare in NY, or Dodd Camera in Cleveland, for rental/demo information. I didn't proceed any further though, since the 65 back is not out yet -- to me, that's the only Sinar game in town.But I just wanted to report back that, yes, there are humans in the United States that deal in Sinar cameras. (I was not sure).For the record, I give you a lot of grief, but you come here into a situation with a lot of (frustrated) history in MediumFormat Land. I give you credit for staying in the hot kitchen; you hold your own very well.
Promise me this though -- promise me that you'll have this full Hy6/65 system out, tweaked, and shipping in volume before you announce another camera/back, OK? Get one thing right before you move on to the next, please. A lot of Medium Format marketing feels like a Manhattan sidewalk Shell Game -- you think you've got your solution spotted, and then it changes to the next option, and thus, you never buy anything. Always waiting for the next announced product -- and never buying anything.

Thierry, is there a place/office in Europe, Russia or Asia where one from North America can rent Sinar Hy6 models purely for testing purposes before they become available in every authorized North American store?

The Elements of Nature
For the past few days, the research team has been holed up in the safety of the apartment avoiding the high seas at just about any cost. Extreme wind and sea conditions had driven even the most experienced cargo-ship driving mariners into the safety of the bay to avoid ugly situations out on the big blue, and a fair wind/weather warning had put a damper on even local travel.Amanda and myself, warm and dry, had been happily plugging away and catching up on weeks of data input, however found our data party coming to a close after only two days off the water. The winds had finally decided to abate and leave the small towns along the coastline of New South Wales alone, so with equipment packed the team decided to hit the high seas bright and early this morning to catch up on lost time. Starting with slightly imperfect conditions and working our way towards near perfection, we hopped from pod to pod collecting upwards to 15 fluke IDs in one day.
The whales were plentiful, the feeding was abundant, and (we have to say) the pictures were pretty darn good. With only a little over a week left in the 2010 season, there are few opportunities left for us to share amazing imagery and footage like this with you. So while there's always a lot to say about our research and our day to day, we'll let the pictures do the talking for today. Aloha, Annie

Longer Walks
One day a week, you are going to do a longer walk. Take your regular walking time (30 minutes to start, for most) and then add 15 minutes. The next week, add another 15 minutes. By the third week, your "long walk" will be 1 hour and 15 minutes. Meanwhile, keep doing the 30-minute walk four times a week.

ORLANDO — Bucs coach Raheem Morris looks back at the 2009 season and doesn't view it a whole lot differently than you. When he reflects, he feels immense disappointment after a 3-13 season.
But Morris is quick to put aside those emotions because he believes what he gained during those rough times will help ensure they never occur again.
As prepared as he thought he was in his first season as coach, Morris now candidly admits the task was daunting and his best-laid plans were anything but.
"You have to go out there and find your niche," Morris said Wednesday, the final day of the NFL owners meetings.
That took some doing.
"When you're at home and you're dreaming about being a head coach and you're in charge … you think, 'This is how I would do it,' " Morris said. "I was of the belief that you go out and you get veteran coordinators. You let them do their job. That's not necessarily how it played out at the end of the season."
Morris, along with general manager Mark Dominik, fired offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski 10 days before the regular season. In November, Morris took over defensive play-calling from coordinator Jim Bates.
"There is no handbook on your desk when you get there that says, 'Hey, Raheem, you're a defensive guy, call (the defense) right from the beginning and don't waste your time,' " he said, joking. "You do what you think is right at the time."
The story illustrates Morris' point: He is better equipped to handle the job after the ups and downs of his rookie season.
"My passion was being able to control a game from a defensive perspective and still being a part of the offense and special teams," said Morris, whose coaching background is exclusively on defense. "Now … it's an opportunity for me to get better and an opportunity for me to grow.
"I look forward to the second year."
But that's not to say the job that lies before Morris is not labor intensive. Climbing out of the cellar in the NFC South will be a heavy workload, particularly with a team that remains extremely young and hasn't added many playmakers.
But Morris assures anyone who asks that the Bucs will be a different club coming out of next month's draft, in which they have 11 selections. And he has no problem putting great responsibility on the shoulders of quarterback Josh Freeman, who is entering his second year.
He draws comparisons between the makeup of this team and the ones that former coach Tony Dungy began assembling in the mid 1990s, just before the club began a perennial playoff run.
"You've got a chance to come and watch it all develop," he said of Tampa Bay fans. "You've got a chance to watch Josh Freeman turn into what he's going to be and watch these young guys around him turn into what they're going to be. You've got a chance to watch a team grow and develop just like '96 to 2002. (From) the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the past to eventually becoming that dominant powerhouse that you hopefully get to be."
The Bucs will be different and, perhaps, better in the fall. They have the third pick in the draft, a more mature quarterback and continuity in their offensive and defensive schemes.
But equally important will be the growth of the man pushing the buttons. That's where the reflection on last year is crucial.
"Those were the growing pains," Morris said. "I wanted to make this year better, and I believe that's what we've done."

"Don't look back."
This famously unheeded advice has sparked the imaginations of countless artists over the centuries, from poets to choreographers to cinematographers. Pulitzer Prize nominee Sarah Ruhl's contemporary look at the myth of Orpheus re-tells the story from the perspective of his wife Eurydice, with her descent into Hades where she learns about love and loss, and wrestles with the decision to return to earth with her husband or to stay in Hades with her father. Written by Ruhl after the death of her own father, Eurydice's poetic style is visually magical and emotionally alluring, providing a fresh look at a timeless story.

I was married for 18 years. The first 10 years where what you would consider normal. Than for some reason my ex-husband changed. He started going out alot more and drinking...than bam...the cheating starting and he left us (we had two children at the time). That was about 13 years into the marriage. We stayed separated for about 1 1/2, though we would see each other monthly which is where the emotional and mental abuse started as he had a girlfriend during that time too. Once the girlfriend left him he moved back home...but he would continue to go out and yes still cheat. During those times, he would occassionally come home drunk and angry which lead to verbal abuse and sometimes physical. Too this day, I don't know why I even let him come back...but I did which resulted in our third child which he at first denied swearing I was the one that was out cheating. After about a year (to my knowledge) the cheating stopped, but he became addicted to another thing...gambling. Which in turn lead to us loosing our home and we split shortly after and he moved in with another girlfriend.
The above isn't why I come to this forum....I come here because I need help moving past the abuse I was dealt. I have since met a really good guy. But my past haunts me. My self-esteem is ok, although I don't look in the mirror and see what other people do...I am told I'm pretty and sexy...but all I see is plain. I do know that I am a good person and mother (my kids have been my life...perhaps too much). I tend to run and be scared whenever we have a disagreement. He has even told me I kinda roll into a ball and cringe at times. I truly love this man...but feel my past has me stuck. Has anyone else experienced this?

"The Lady Of The Lanes"
Students struggle to connect the multiple representations of equations, data tables and graphs when dealing with functions. As you introduce linear functions don't always start with an equation and ask students to generate the other representations; students should gain facility with starting from any one representation and being able to generate the others. Also keep in mind that slope is a difficult concept to fully grasp in an algebraic setting, but you can build on students' intuitive understanding of speed to help them understand the concept of slope as rate of change, comparing change in y relative to change in x.
"The Lady Of The Lanes"
Have students perform a variety of races (some with fixed time and others with fixed distance) and make graphs comparing time and distance. They will readily tell you that the steepest lines represent the fastest people. You might have them hop so that they don't cover as much ground.

I climbed this route again today and it is beautiful. It is not totally obvious where to start the route, and we did it differently today. A low start is harder but no worse than the crux. This is only about 50' from the Fern Canyon trail, only 20' above the low point of the rock. A flake sticks out here, it looks like an ear. You can climb up onto the face using this ear, then traverse left and then straight up lichenous rock, bypassing a steep bulge using pockets to the left (very little pro on this pitch).
An easier start is about 100' higher near a big pine tree. A sloping ledge leads west (very easy) to the arete right below the (first) crux. I think this is the start Guy speaks of.
I always wondered what a "Pellaea" is. Turns out is a genus of fern. Appropriate for Fern Canyon.

I did this climb last week, and I have to agree with the (S) rating comment. I am used to Flatiron run outs but the combination exposure/run out on the first crux is pretty awesome.
Perhaps if I had brought a small TCU I could have protected on the flake to the right of the crux.
This being said, Pellea is an awesome climb, it is clear why it made the top ten ranking on Roach's book.

|It is possible to start this climb about 75 feet north of the low point. Angle up to the left and join the regular route above the small tree. This pitch is about 5.4, but also a little runout. With a 200' rope, the climb can be done in two pitches. We did this pitch by accident. After rapping off of the Fiddlehead, we thought we climbing Onoclea.

|Really good, third the (s) rating. Maybe, it was just my head today, but the whole thing seemed a bit more runout/serious than a normal Flatiron. Super climbing with a great position (not protection). We did three pitches- two long (180') and one shorter (maybe 75'). Guess what, no traffic other than us......
By Robbie Kalinowski

|What a great climb! DO IT! The POSITION is fantastic. Looking down Fern Canyon, and at the back of the slab - when you are 200 ft. up, it feels like you are on top of the 3rd Flatiron. We did it later in the afternoon, and the sun on the rocks below us was makeing me say holy S*#$ is this cool! I thought the crux was runout, so I agree with the "s" rating. It is much more of a serious outing than then 3rd (climbing-wise), so be comfortable at 5.5 or 5.4 slab climbing if leading, but it is all there. Watch for lichen, as this isn't as well traveled as the more popular climbs. My partner knocked down a large (3 ft. by 2 ft.) flake towards the start of the climb (scary) but otherwize, the rock was very solid. Go down a bit and north from the summit to find the slings. There were 5 slings or so with 3 rap rings when we did this on 9/14/03. From the bottom of the rap, we went directly west and then south and met up with the trail.

|There is a tiny Alien placement just to the left of the crux on the first pitch that does provide a bit of protection. This felt like standard Flatiron runnout to me, nothing more, nothing less. Beautiful rock, a great route. We climbed Fiddlehead and Onoclea first, and finishing on Pelaea was a great finish.

Climbed this today, 8-9-06; friggin' sweeeet. The slings ontop are getting old and weathered, definitely bring some webbing to back this up. I didn't and was slightly sketched out.
We started ~100 feet from the Fern Canyon trail at a break in the poison ivy. Didn't think it was too runout, standard Flatirons slab. Second and third pitches are better protected than the first.
Third pitch is super fun.

Great little climb. The approach is pretty casual, the climb is short and sweet, and the views are fantastic. It's a nice, remote, change from the usual Flatiron fare. The first crux (steep friction chute on P1) is pretty intense for a 5.5, so be sure you're comfy on dime edges 30' above your last pro before attempting. The last pitch is pure fun!
The rappel into the notch is great, but rope drag is a real problem. We rigged low from the anchor and rapped a meandering dihedral directly north into the notch. The outcome was the closest I've ever come to having a stuck rope. In the future, I would probably lay the rope over the smooth bulge to the west and rap that way.

rating: 5.5 4b 13 IV+ 11 MS 4a R
I can tell from the descriptions some others took a slightly different route, I stayed mainly towards the southern edge. Normally I take R ratings on the East face Flatiron routes with a grain of salt, this one deserves it. The lead running up to the first crux and the entirety of the second crux on the 3rd pitch is friction and 2-3 mm edges for holds, all with no pro.
The first pitch crux actually has good pro for the final big move, for me, leading the 3rd pitch was the hardest part. Before heading up the crux and toward the "pothole/hueco", I put in pro at the large ledge to protect the potential plummet off the side, that scenario would only occur after first decking on the ledge. A little bit of choss and lichen here and there adds to the fun. Maybe it was the day but this climb got my attention, definitely the spiciest 5.5 I have ever done.
Beautiful area, great summit and great rappel, interesting options for the hike/scramble down.

|So I win the stupid award and started climbing P1 way to far up aiming for a smooth gully above. Ended up slightly more challenging than the standard crux (lichen) but took gear a little better. Ended up above and way to the right of the standard P1. Sad thing is I'd climbed this before....
By Andres Fernandez
From: Boulder, Colorado
Nov 9, 2014
rating: 5.5 4b 13 IV+ 11 MS 4a R
We climbed this today in 3 pitches.
There are a lot of lines as mentioned.
1st pitch: there's a slanty tree probably at 50 feet up. I presume most parties start around there. 20 feet above that I started the lead where it seemed to have some good starting hand holds. Instead of doing the crux to the left of the small two pronged tree, I had gotten a little higher up and then traversed over about 10 feet with very small hand and footholds to easier ground right next to the two pronged tree and then went up. The belay was setup about 30 feet above the tree and to climber's right. Rope drag can be a problem.
2nd pitch: easiest of all the pitches and longest. Started from the last good belay area 20-30 feet above and north of the two pronged tree. Easiest pitch to lay protection. Followed the gash, and then that led to more horn/flake sections to the horizontal gash right before the 'second 5.4 crux'. This area is big with plenty of space to sit down and find some anchors.
3rd pitch: short and I led from the left where the 18 inch hueco is. I only laid one piece of protection around the tree half-way up and another 30 feet and I was at the top. Didn't seem like there were really any other opportunities for laying.
Rappel should only need one 60 meter rope, and it seems like only 40-50 feet down at most. We rapped from the existing slings and oblong, iron rap ring.
I could definitely agree this route is runout. Severe if you're not experienced at 5.4-5.6. Yes, there are very few places to lay protection on the 1st and 3rd pitches. Can be spicy, but it seems the rock is good and grippy for a slab.

Climbed with Andrew on 2014/11/09.
I can think to add the gps waypoints for the belay sites we used in with a more formal description. Also, my photos of the trip may be found at: flickr.com/photos/19047247@N04...
The climb is two full pitches (on a 60m rope) then a 1/3 pitch followed by a short belay across the top of the rock. It offers a great view of the area in Fern Canyon and also east between Boulder and Eldorado Springs. It's not clear how much the splendid view contributed to the recommendation in Gerry Roach's Boulder Flatirons climbing guidebook.
From the Cragmoore (N39.96867 W105.26328 at 5,756', 2355 Cragmoor Rd in Boulder) or LeHigh (N39.96729 W105.25866 at 5,750', 1915 LeHigh St in Boulder) trailheads, proceed to the climber's trail in Fern Canyon at N39.96527 W105.28897 at 6,942'. We started on the north choice of two good options at N39.96568 W105.28819 at 7,085'. We found relatively roomy ledges for belay stations at: 1st pitch at N39.96563 W105.28950 at 7,173'; 2nd pitch at N39.96563 W105.28986 at 7,345'; 3rd pitch at N39.96567 W105.29003 at 7,383'. In all cases we followed below (east and north of the south ridge of Pellea. The rappel station was at N39.96579 W105.29000 at 7,385'. It's probably about 50' to the base of the rappel at N39.96581 W105.29009 at 7,343'. From the base of the rappel, you could attempt to scramble/rappel further to the south or instead chose to follow west along the rock wall and scramble down and then down to the trail (we chose the latter). The gain may be closer to 400 than 300'; my gps was a little limited at the bases of the climb and the rappel.

Broadway-Hildebrand project will end this summer
Updated 9:44 pm, Tuesday, March 4, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Drivers, businesses and residents, you can soon rejoice — the 18-month Broadway-Hildebrand reconstruction project should be done by this summer, officials announced at a public meeting Tuesday.
The $15.5 million project, which includes the installation of a new underground drainage system, plus road and other infrastructure improvements, started in January 2013. Work should be complete by the end of July.
But the traffic headaches will continue, particularly in May when the city closes the Broadway-Hildebrand intersection for two weekends while underground drainage culverts are added.
For more about the project, read the full story at expressnews.com and in Wednesday's edition of the Express-News.

Each week, we'll be scouring the net for team rankings from football experts, covering the previous week, and discussing them here. Let's see what they have to say this week.
Average Ranking: 8.08 (previously 8.31) – Virtually, no change after a strong statement by the Colts defense.
CBS Sports – Pete Prisco – 5th (+3): The good news coming from the Bengals victory was how well the defense played. You know the offense will get it going again.
(Pete gets right to the point. We thought early on that this defense had the potential to be the best Colts D in years. They showed signs last week that it's true.)
Cold Hard Football Facts – 7th (-2): Peyton Manning has now put forth three sub-par game ratings in his last five – 65.0 vs. KC, 67.0 vs. PHI and 69.8 vs. CIN. He hasn't had a stretch with three bad games like that in a concentrated bunch since his rookie year. In three weeks since the bye, he averages a dismal 5.6 YPA with a 75.5 passer rating. He could use some help from the running game: the Colts are tied with Dallas for fewest runs of 10+ yards (16).
(As tired as I am of hearing about injuries, this would be a good time to point out the probable cause of 18's recent struggles.)
ESPN – Kuharsky – 10th (no change): How many injured guys can make it back for the showdown at New England?
(How many, indeed? And maybe more importantly, any key players like Collie and Addai?)
Fox Sports – 6th (+1): This team is beat-up on both sides of the ball but remains the class of the AFC South. But for the Colts to go far in the playoffs, they'll have to get some of those key players back on the field soon. Their depth will be tested by the visiting Patriots this week.
(Very true, and I readily admit to having real concern about the outcome of this week's game. Oh! And the game is in Foxboro, guys.)
National Football Post – 10th (no change): Can Manning and the Colts survive the enormous amounts of injuries in Indianapolis?
(They barely survived the mediocre Bengals last week. Against the Pats? It could be a long day on Sunday.)
NFL.com's Collective Brain Trust – 8th (+2):
(Seeing my team at #8 hurts enough. Do you guys really have to put NE on top?)
Michael Silver – 10th (-2): If Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz's cruise-ship analogy about the injured Colts was brought to life, and I was one of the passengers who had to subsist on mayonnaise sandwiches, how quickly would I jump overboard?
(You'll find Colts fans made of sterner stuff, Mr. Silver. We're here to ride out the storm.)
Sporting News – 7th (-1): TE Jacob Tamme quickly has gone from a Dallas Clark replacement to an integral part of the passing game.
(True. Now the question is 'Will he play on Sunday?')
Sports Illustrated – Don Banks – 8th (-1): Has it really been since the 2006 regular season since we've seen the Colts-Patriots rivalry unfold in Foxboro? I'll bet Peyton Manning hasn't missed ol' Gillette Stadium for a single second. It doesn't get any better in the NFL than this, Manning vs. Tom Brady, with two first-place teams behind them. Even if we don't recognize many of the names on either offense.
(I find it interesting that Don quickly dismisses the Colts' extreme injury situation by labeling it no more drastic than what NE is facing. Whatever makes you comfortable, Mr. Banks.)
Sports Illustrated – Peter King – 12th (-1): The Colts will be there at the end. I'm pretty sure of that. I just don't know whether they'll actually win the game when they're there at the end.
(They'll be there. Peyton will make sure of that.)
USA Today – 8th (unchanged): Could be playing for home field in playoffs vs. Patriots.
(This also is quite true. Of course, in TJ's World, Colts win big on Sunday, and Patriots never recover from the humiliation. And just for the record, I like sentences that include the words Patriots and humiliation.)
Walter Football – 5th (no change): Peyton Manning tends to struggle against tough 3-4 defenses in the playoffs – except versus the Ravens, who have never been able to figure him out. And after getting pawned by the Patriots between 2001 and 2005, Manning suddenly owns the rivalry between he and Tom Brady. Maybe Brady's beautiful hair will tilt the balance in his favor again.
(Maybe. One thing's for certain – the new hair style gives us all a bit more insight into Brady's tilt.)
WEEI in Boston – 9th (+1): Peyton Manning continues to lead his team to victories despite a plethora of injuries. We'll learn a lot more about how well the Colts can play without their key starters in the next two weeks when they take on the Patriots and the Chargers.
(Would you say we have a plethora of injuries… because I would hate it if you were to say we have a plethora of something and you don't even know what a plethora is. ~ Points awarded to first poster to name the quote.)

Rise of the Gargoyles pits Eric Balfour ("24", "Six Feet Under"), veteran character actor Nick Mancuso, and soap opera actress Tanya Clarke against evil gargoyles that have grown tired of just sitting atop Parisian cathedrals and have come to life to terrify the "city of lights".
You're probably thinking this sounds like the plot of a Sci-Fi Channel original movie. You would be right.
Rise of the Gargoyles premieres on the Sci-Fi Channel this Sunday night, June 21st, at 9/8 Central. That's Sunday night, not Saturday.
For those that would prefer to watch the film without all those annoying commercial interruptions, Genius Products has already announced a DVD release, but you'll have to wait until September 8th.
Here's a look at the trailer. It looks… It looks like a Sci-Fi Channel gargoyle movie.

The grand jury met Aug. 9 and returned indictments against 12 people.
The indictment of a person by a grand jury is an accusation only and that person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Those indicted were:
• Nicholas D. Martinez, 19, receiving stolen property with a value over $500 but less than $1,000.
• Courtney D. Jines, 20, possession of a controlled substance in the first degree, receiving stolen property with a value over $500 but less than $1,000, promoting contraband in the first degree and possession of drug paraphernalia.
With all the football he watches on the practice field or in the film room, Kentucky secondary Coach Steve Clinkscale doesn't always want to watch football on TV when he gets home.
Often, though, his wife, Jasena, has a different idea.
"My wife watches more football at home than I do. I come home and I don't want to watch football and she wants to watch football all day Saturday and Sunday. I just want to watch TV and relax. But not her. She loves watching football," said Clinkscale.
I have worked closely with the Ark Encounter since Answers in Genesis announced the project in December of 2010. Because of my work for the Ark Encounter, I was granted the privilege of cutting the ribbon at the opening ceremony. As I stated then, we have had our issues and debates on how things should be, but we always work them out in a professional manner. I think the safety assessment fee controversy has been the first issue to receive this much media attention.
From the beginning of our administration, we have set the goal of making Kentucky the engineering and manufacturing hub of excellence in the world. We are off to a good start. We recently shattered our annual record for new economic development projects and we did so in only the first five months of 2017.
Many factors weigh into the decisions of businesses to expand or locate their facilities in our state. However, every business leader I meet with emphasizes the quality of our workforce as one of their most critical considerations.
For the nearly 900,000 smokers in Kentucky, there has never been a better time to quit.
During the 2017 legislative session, the General Assembly passed much needed legislation to equip individuals addicted to tobacco with the tools they need to quit successfully. The smoking cessation coverage bill (Senate Bill 89) removes barriers that limit patient access to evidence-based cessation treatments.
Travelers can see it from the interstate—the flags, the rotunda and the militarily uniform, neatly aligned, white marble headstones. There are no locked gates, just an open entryway with a golden eagle, wings spread, perched atop a concrete wall, a sentry keeping watch for sleeping warriors.
As we turn the page on July 2017, I find myself asking the same question once again, "Is summer over already?" To the disappointment of most Kentucky students, and many parents, the answer is an overwhelming "yes."
In Senate District 17, Scott County students will report back for classes on Thursday, Aug. 10. For Grant County students, the first day back is either Monday, Aug. 14, or Tuesday, Aug. 15, depending on your grade. In Kenton County, students are due back a bit later: Wednesday, August 23.
Opioid abuse is one of Kentucky's most pressing and publicized health issues. In 2016, more than 1,400 Kentuckians died from opioid overdoses. That's an average of nearly four deaths per day.
These alarming statistics have made curbing opioid abuse a statewide priority—and Kentuckians of all backgrounds and sectors are committed to finding solutions.
I lived in Grant County 40 years, just recently moving to Richwood after my husband's passing. I am deeply concerned about Williamstown and Grant County, in general.
I am reading and hearing a lot of criticism about the Ark Encounter, and I am truly puzzled.

Hawking radiation
Hawking radiation is a process, first theorized by Stephen Hawking, by which a black hole can apparently evaporate. When virtual particles are produced in the vicinity of a black hole, it is possible for one member of the matter-antimatter pair to be pulled into the black hole while the other escapes into space. The particle that falls into the black hole negates some of its mass and so the black hole shrinks a little. This makes it look as if the particle that escaped into space has come from the black hole. Hawking radiation would be particularly important in the case of miniature black holes, which might explode in this way.
