For most of the last decade, members of the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) has worked on finding different ways to improve risk management for their growers. One of their key findings was that many of their growers, especially those in the Midwest, were paying crop insurance premium rates that didn't accurately reflect their losses. In fact, they argued that corn growers were consistently overpaying and urged USDA's Risk Management Agency to change the methodology they used to establish premium rates.
For most of that same period, RMA suggested that changes were not necessary. But NCGA continued to offer data that finally convinced Administrator William Murphy to take another look.
After conducting an independent study and peer review, the agency announced that will now go ahead with the first phase of plans to update the methodology used to set crop insurance premiums, leading to lower insurance premium rates for many corn and soybean producers in the 2012 crop year and potentially other crops in the future.
The changes provide a more accurate reflection of current risks, along with yield trends and improvements made through biotechnology, according to RMA Administrator William Murphy. But for some growers and crop insurance industry sources, there are still a lot of unanswered questions.
We are improving the formulation of our rate-making methodology, and are moving to establish the most fair and appropriate premium rates for today's producers, Murphy added. The world has changed as far as corn and soybean production goes.
On average, these new rates should reduce corn farmers' rates by 7 percent and soybean farmers' by 9 percent (for the 2012 crop year), Murphy said. But in some regions, the reductions could be as high as 12% for corn and 13% for soybeans. Conversely, rates could also increase in some states and counties within states.
Murphy described the changes as one third of the base rate expected with full implementation of both corn and beans, with the other two-thirds expected next year. For corn, the RMA is incorporating reductions that were previously available through biotech yield endorsements, which were discontinued for 2012.
The rate adjustment is based on findings of an independent study, conducted by Sumaria Systems Inc., and a peer review process, which RMA plans to post on their web site.
Murphy said the vast majority of reviewers basically supported the concept of moving to the new methodology with the major change being a switch back to a rolling 20-year average of production data, a method used prior to 1995.
There was some concern about how we adjusted for weather in the pre-1995 period, so we are going to be doing more analysis on that, he added.
We want to make sure we get it right before we do the full implementation, so this will give us time and then hopefully, for the 2013 year for corn and beans, we will have it finalized. Murphy said that RMA also anticipates having the methodology finalized for 2013 spring wheat, rice, cotton, and grain sorghum.
Estimating the impact of this change on crop insurance purchases, premiums paid and the overall level of federal subsidy is difficult to determine at this point. With corn and soybeans making up about 65% of the crop insurance business, the potential impact could be substantial.
Historically, when we have decreased the rates, growers have reacted by increasing coverage, Murphy explained. We expect that will probably also be the same in this case, but it's kind of hard to put a number on it; so we don't know what the producer subsidy change is going to be.
The National Corn Growers Association praised the announcement.
NCGA has been working on this issue for more than eight years, said NCGA President Garry Niemeyer, a corn farmer from Auburn, Ill. We are pleased to hear our farmers will no longer be facing the continued widening gap between the loss for corn and the premiums charged to growers for policy coverage. This is a day long coming.
Other industry sources expressed concerns about the lack of transparency, the uncertainty over the process and the rate increases that some growers could face.
Tom Zacharias, President of National Crop Insurance Services, says this decision, which RMA plans to initially phase in just two days from now, introduces a great deal of uncertainty.
We don't know exactly what the final rates are going to be and how the impacts will permeate throughout the system. This decision was late in the game for the magnitude of the changes, Zacharias explained.
It's important that we deliver the program effectively. Let's make sure we know that with some degree of certainty and we are comfortable with the process that's going to be implemented, Zacharias added. Farmers need to be charged the right rate. There is no equivocation on that. But with the new system, how well do you know what's right -- based on the information available?
Former USDA Chief Economist and Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board Chairman Keith Collins, who now serves as a NCIS consultant, questioned the process and the fact that RMA has not yet provided responses to a number of industry concerns.
Should you be proceeding to implement a system that has not been fully evaluated and the substance of the criticism has not been fully addressed? Collins asked. It's clear RMA has some questions, as well, and that's why they are doing a phase-in.
RMA said updated data pertaining to prevented planting, replant payment, and quality adjustment loss experience was also used in determining rates changes --- raising additional questions about how those changes will also impact growers.
Most growers will probably be overjoyed that they will see their crop insurance premiums decrease,

John Cena
Partial Credit – Wrestling-News.net:
As WWE officials discuss a ton of outcomes for the WWE Championship match between The Rock and John Cena at WrestleMania 29, one idea that is being "highly considered" is that of John Cena aligning with The Shield and being revealed as the man behind the formation of the group.
Under this plan, Cena would lose to The Rock and, essentially, snap and attack him out of frustration of being able to defeat him once again. A heel Cena would then face The Rock at Extreme Rules for the WWE Championship once again and, this time, defeat him for the World Championship on The Rock's last appearance until WrestleMania 30 season.
Another idea being tossed around is for Cena to go over, gain the respect of The Rock and face off against The Shield at the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Much Needed Homebirth Book
The Essential Homebirth Guide is the first book in decades to specifically address a homebirth audience. The book is written by two homebirth midwives, Jane E. Drichta, CPM and Jodilyn Owen, CPM and gives an excellent overview of pregnancy and birth and the options available to birthing families.
Written in a Q & A format, the book begins with a description of what prenatal care from a homebirth midwife is like. It addresses the significance of making the decision to have a homebirth as a family and the impact of pregnancy and birth on the couple. Also included is an outstanding section on informed consent and how to make a good decision.

Finally, just in time for Halloween, I finished the Elizabethan Gown.
The gown itself was made of a suiting fabric that looked and felt like a lightweight wool. It had a very full skirt (with boxed and hanging pleats) and an 8ft train. It was boned and laced closed at the front and the lacing covered with a plastron which hooked across the front and featured a beaded "necklace" detailing.
It was a race at the end to get it all done in time but so utterly worth it on the night.
This was one of the most interesting, frustrating and ultimately rewarding projects I have made and to wear it feels amazing, I can see how people get hooked on Tudor costuming!

iTunes 11 - Any way to manually add artwork without using get info?
I know you can manually add artwork to a artwork to an album without selecting all the tracks and dragging the artwork through "get info". The problem is that, doing so causes itunes to increase the size of the album signifciantly. For example, I'm adding a picture that's 50 kb but adding it to the album converts the file to whatever format itunes uses and brings the album from 101 mb to 115 mbs. Before, we used to be able to drag the artwork over to the sidebar but that option is no longer there. Is there any way to work around this? When you dragged it over to the sidebar itunes would leave the file as is...therefore the size would only increase by however many songs were in the album multiplied by whatever the size of the artwork was.

Not sure if this will work...
Have you tried opening the get info for the first track of an album and adding artwork to that song only. Now when you view it as an album, iTunes can use it for display of album.

I did find a slight workaround using one of dougs apple scripts. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/script...estorealbumart What you need to do is take the jpg file and manually add it to the album's folder in the itunes media directory. Then use the above script to reembed that artwork. It took my album that was 109 mb and brought it up to 110.1 mb. Conversely, doing it through get info brought the total album size from 109 to 120 mb. It's a pain of a workaround but it works. I really hope they bring back the artwork in the left hand side. Seems that a lot of people are raising this as a legit issue. I personally love the new itunes but i do feel that's an unncessary omission from the final release. |

No it doesn't. If you use get info then it always does (including in previous versions) but if you used the aforementioned artwork box on the left hand side (which has been removed from the sidebar) then it would not convert the file from jpg to png, thus preserving the file size.

To go back to your question though.....I really don't know what the reason is for why it's convereted to png. I only know that everything being equal, a png will always be signficantly larger file than a jpg. As far sa I know it does not affect the quality at all. I'm not dogging Apple though. I absolutely love the new itunes 11. Does this suck? Yes. But it seems that all that's missing is that artwork on the sidebar which, based on how many complaints they've received, I would think they would add it back in a future update. Until then I have a workaround. Hopefully more people see this post (if they care about stuff like this) so they don't get stuck with bloating album sizes. |

I didn't even notice the change in the font. I love the look of the blended color with the artwork in album view though...and I love how instead of being one column of songs it now shows in 2 columns. I also prefer this artist view to the previous since it gives you a quicker view of what else you have. |

Advantages of 3D Mammography:
Improved Cancer Detection Reduced False Positives
Better Visualization Less Patient Anxiety
3D Mammography gives radiologists the ability to view inside the breast layer by layer, helping to see the fine details more clearly by minimizing overlapping tissue.
A Message From Our General Surgeon
Welcome to Gonzales Healthcare Systems. My name is Kathleen Koerner, DO, MS, and I am a Board Certified General Surgeon with specialized training in breast surgery.

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Spray Mist Lavender -- 4 fl oz
Simple: this works really well. Not crazy about spray on's -- but this is easy and, more importantly, effective. I happen to prefer this fragrance.
April 20, 2013
super duper!
I used the fragrance free one, it worked well. so I am buying this lavender one because they don't currently have plain, and lavender has benefits, too. I started using this brand last year because my detox, weight loss program dictated no junk and no oil on skin products. This has the cleanest, purest ingredients and nicest to clothing. This works really well all day, all activity! one time, on the second day from applying, I exercised and then noticed whoops, ick, I smell. Used daily, a bottle could last you 9 months or so, so it is cost effective. Thank you for making this available!

works well
Nice, clean scent. Works consistently.
November 17, 2012
No odor all day!
Using this non staining and less expensive than deodorant sticks. No chemicals to worry about either. Nice light lavender sent also.
Even on the hotest of summer days, I prespire naturally but without any odor!
August 3, 2012
good, but not as good as my normal brand
so I bought this a while ago instead of the crystal brand and it does work, but I really didn't like the smell as much, its almost more of a bitter pungent after smell which is the only downside.

To accelerate the search for the estimated 8,000 people still missing from the conflict and provide crucial evidence for war crimes trials, prosecutors asked the authorities for increased funds.
>>>Bosnia's Missing Persons Institute wants a new exhumation at the Kazani pit in the hills above Sarajevo because more bodies could be buried where the remains of over 20 war victims have been found.
>>>Families of people who disappeared during the 1990s conflict in Kosovo demanded legal changes to ensure benefits for those whose relatives' bodies are among the 1,700 not yet found.
>>>As a new parliamentary group prepares to investigate the issue for the first time, relatives of over 1,700 people still missing since the Kosovo war insisted they need improved benefits.
>>>Human remains have been found in a suspected mass grave near the town of Raska where it is believed that Albanians killed by Serbian forces in the Kosovo war could be buried.
>>>The methods used in Bosnia to find wartime missing persons should be implemented in post-conflict situations all over the world, a conference in Sarajevo was told.
>>>The EU rule-of-law mission in Kosovo, EULEX, has relaunched a hunt for the remains of people missing since wartime at Livoc Lake near the eastern town of Gjilani/Gnjilane.
>>>Millions of people have gone missing worldwide because of wars, crime and natural disasters, so a better search and identification process is needed, a conference in The Hague concluded.
>>>The remains of the wartime victims, believed to be Bosniaks and Croats killed in 1992, have been found in the ongoing exhumation of the mass grave at the Tomasica mines near Prijedor.
>>>The remains of 19 people who are believed to have been killed during the war in Croatia in 1991 were exhumed in a village in the eastern region of Slavonia.

If one has a concrete column that is cutting through a concrete wall the column does not show correctly it disapears into the wall and only shows the part af the column that is outside the wall but he part of the column that is inside the wall joins with wall. We have been able to manually fix it be unjoining the columns from the walls and changing the view properties which works from time to time but not as good as it should be. My question is there a way to let the columns have priority over the walls and not to let the walls cut through the columns but rather let the columns display unjoined so to speak at all times. At the moment I have given the columns a solid hatch pattern and have tried to let the walls be architectural non-load bearing but I have structural discipline view setting and the walls dissapear when I change it to a architectural wall. Please can anyone help me.

Contestant Blogs
This Week's Contestant
Brenda M.
Theme: | Bed & Breakfast |
Hometown: | Honey Creek, IA |
Week of: | 10-10-2011 |
It was a Sunday in May when my adventure as a Wheel of Fortune contestant began, but it was years earlier when I became a Wheel watcher. My parents and parents-in-law were avid fans, and we'd watch together, competing to be the first with the correct answer to the puzzles. TV contestants would get stumped by what we felt were easy puzzles, and we'd shake our heads and wonder what they could have been thinking. Little did I know that I would very soon find out exactly how challenging it would be to be a contestant.
My journey began with two friends and a 30-minute trip from our farm in Honey Creek, Iowa, to Harrah's Casino in Council Bluffs to attend a Wheelmobile event. That afternoon my name was drawn from among hundreds in attendance, and I jumped at the chance (literally and figuratively) to solve puzzles. It was great fun! All the entries were sent back to Culver City, California, home of Wheel of Fortune, to be considered for the second round. Those selected would receive an e-mail notification within two weeks so the waiting began.
It is one of those things. You hope to hear but also try so very hard to talk some sense into yourself: Yes, there was a slim chance (only 600 contestants are selected from among hundreds of thousands), but it was just that slim.
I yelled out loud when I saw the e-mail in my box. And then my heart sank the second audition was on the same day I was to take my youngest son to college orientation. What was I to do? Ironically, the answer came with the rising waters of the Missouri River. You see, my husband Craig and sons Shawn and Scott are farmers, and because they were busy planting, caring for livestock, and protecting the land from flooding there wasn't any way we could attend the orientation. So off I went to the second round!
There were about 75 contestants gathered once again at Harrah's Casino, anxious to make a good impression on the Wheel of Fortune staff. After introductions and the calling of a few letters, we took a one-page test of semi-pre-filled puzzles to help the staff choose just 19 people for more games. After solving more puzzles, the staff thanked us and sent us on our way, as another group was to compete in the afternoon. Anyone who succeeded in becoming a contestant would receive a letter in the next two weeks and the waiting began again.
Again, hope was slim because I had missed a very obvious puzzle (well, it seemed obvious after the fact). Yet I continued to check the mailbox each day holding my breath. Then, I was stunned when I saw the small Wheel of Fortune logo on the envelope I must have stood there for quite some time before I was awakened by a friendly neighbor who honked his horn in greeting. After reading the letter twice, I ran to my parents-in-law's farmhouse next door to tell them the good news!
The letter stated I would be called within a period of 18 months for my Wheel appearance, so I went on with life thinking I would most likely get my call after the first of the year. I was shocked when, while on vacation with my family, I retrieved a message on my cell phone informing me that I was needed for a taping date only about one month after receiving my notice! Preparations began travel and accommodations, watching Wheel of Fortune, finding the right clothing, playing Wheel of Fortune games, fighting nervousness, trying desperately to win just one of the electronic Toss Up rounds on my iPad, etc.
It all became very real to me when I discovered I would need to remove a ring on my right (spinning) hand so it wouldn't snag on the Wheel. It was a ring given to me by a dear friend when we traveled together in Up with People more than 30 years ago. Luckily, Deirdre was an avid Wheel Watcher and gave me her blessing and a great local jewelry store (Steven's) promised to repair it and have it ready on my return. My claddagh ring was left behind.
Then we were off to California! Craig, my husband of 26 years, my daughters Sarah and Stephanie, and I were whisked away from the Los Angeles Airport by a very good friend. We spent the day at Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier, hoping the calm of the Pacific could wash over me. With a nervous knot in my stomach, my evening ended by praying and hoping that whatever the next day's outcome, all of the contestants would enjoy our experience. Tune in Friday, October 14th, to see how I did!

One night last spring, 29-year-old Keri Federici prepared, served, and ate the evening meal at a homeless shelter in Naperville, Illinois. The patrons appreciated her charity and her company at the table. And Federici found another kind of nourishment
Filled with self-loathing, she had spent the past five years battling bulimia; she had even begun punching herself in the stomach. "I didn't know who I was anymore," says Federici. "I didn't think there was a life beyond such behavior."
That all changed when she joined the Eating Disorders Program at Linden Oaks at Edward hospital, where Maria Rago, PhD, is clinical director. Four years ago, Rago developed a novel treatment for the women at her clinic—feeding homeless people. Her patients create grocery lists, go shopping, and cook for what she called Real Meals night. "Some people freak out," says Ari Carlson, 17, who participated in the program four years ago when she was being treated for anorexia and bulimia. "You're buying food for a large group, and that's overwhelming when you have a disorder. I was anxious. I had to remind myself that it was for people who were suffering." Seeing real need up close shifts her patients' focus, Rago believes. "When they volunteer, they are powerfully engaged in making the world a better place. It boosts their sense of self-esteem and value." The lessons go beyond feeding the hungry. Federici felt that sitting down and eating with the homeless was key to her recovery. "Here I was taking food for granted and denying myself, and there was this group of homeless people who needed food and couldn't get it," she says. "Once we were in the actual process of making the meals, it was suddenly like I didn't have an eating disorder. It became natural just to eat and talk with the others." The concept for Real Meals is groundbreaking, says Frederic Luskin, PhD, senior fellow at the Stanford Center on Conflict and Negotiation. "If your identity is, 'I am a person with anorexia,' that's a very narrow focus," he says. "This program doesn't ignore that suffering, but it puts it into a much broader perspective. It starts to reverse the self-absorption and give people a positive purpose." More than 400 patients have found success with Real Meals, Rago says. "This type of program doesn't have to be only for those with eating disorders," she says. "It can work for many mental health conditions—depression, anxiety, alcoholism. Everyone who is trying to recover can benefit from this type of volunteering." Federici sees it this way: "When you give of yourself to others, there's healing. Me, being healthy now—I can't tell you what a feeling that is." From the March 2008 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

MilitaryFactory.com began as most sites across the web do - a smallish 25-page static hobby website dedicated to providing casual information on basic military hardware. In these early days, content centered on just modern US military weapons. The site began in July of 2003 only to grow into a thousand-page, database-driven website since. Our first entry into the dynamic version of the site became was the OH-58 Kiowa helicopter which, we embarrassingly note, was not officially completed until 2007.
Roughly ten site redesigns later, a 2,000+ record database and double that amount in available hand-drawn, black and white and color images, MilitaryFactory.com has grown into something special. These days daily unique traffic reaches well past the days of 500 people and we now attempt to cover weaponry from all of history.
We really try to go beyond the traditional generic specifications reporting and offer up individual statistics, imagery, easy-to-use comparison functions, conversion calculators, 3-views and list military equipment as broken down by conflict, nation and even manufacturer.
We wont say that our website is free of errors - they're just bound to come through the thousands of write-ups that we present but we are quick to address errors delivered to use by our visitors - making you a vital, if indirect, "contributor" to our website in some ways. Our main goal is that you take away something useful from our site and that your experience - even if its a one-time stop-through - is generally a positive one. At any rate, we hope that MilitaryFactory.com meets a certain level of quality that you're looking for in a free to use online military reference. We will continue to put the time and effort into the reference so long as people continue to enjoy the fruits of this labor.
Where do you get your images from?
All images throughout the site come from a combination of sources. Most photography are publicly available works from the US Department of Defense. Additional works (mostly the black and white imagery) is generally from the public domain and available most anywhere on the Internet. It should be noted, however, that any illustrative works appearing on ww.MilitaryFactory.com are exclusive to the site and come from the portfolio of digital artist Dan Alex (of www.RunawayStudios.com) and are labeled as such in the bi-line of these entries. This, in itself, adds a uniqueness to our content particularly when imagery to a certain aircraft, gun or tank is hard to come by any other means. Images go a long way with us personally and, as such, we prefer that every entry on our site be represented by at least one image - even if it is illustrative in nature.
Can I reuse MilitaryFactory.com images?
Yes and no...all public domain and US Department of Defense imagery are free for you to use and reuse as you see fit. However, any illustrations labeled as from "Courtesy of Dan Alex" and "www.RunawayStudios.com" and contain any type of ww.MilitaryFactory.com (either written or in badge form) watermark may NOT be reused in any form without consent (in writing) from MilitaryFactory.com.

SPICA and SAFARISPICA (Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics) is a project of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to be launched in 2022. With a 3.2-meter diameter (EPD 3.0m), its large mirror will be actively cooled down to less than 6K. SPICA will achieve high sensitivity and spatial resolution. Four instruments are currently planned in the payload: i) the European SAFARI (SpicA FAR-infrared Instrument) will operate from 34 to 210 microns with a spectral resolution from 20 to 2,000; ii) the mid-infrared camera and spectrometer (5-38 microns with spectral resolution up to 30,000); iii) the near-infrared focal plane camera for guiding and science (0.7-25.2 microns), iv) the mid-infrared coronograph (3.5-27 microns); . The figure shows the thermal infrared radiation of warm telescopes (>20 K, red lines) in comparison with typical
astronomical diffuse emission (blue lines). The emission of such warm telescopes completely dominate in the
mid-infrared regime, hindering high-sensitivity observations. In contrast, the infrared emission of SPICA's
cryogenically-cooled telescope will be reduced significantly, virtually providing no contribution in the wavelength
coverage of SPICA. Astronomical diffuse emission and confusion will be the only limiting background. The green box
corresponds to the wavelength coverage of SAFARI.
For more information: University of Geneva involvement
The University of Geneva is a member of the European Consortium to build and operate the SAFARI instrument onboard the Japanese SPICA mission.
The University of Geneva leads the development and operation of the Instrument Control Center (ICC) for SAFARI, in close collaboration with
the PI institute (SRON, Groningen) and the international consortium members involved in SAFARI.

Huskies run strong |
Cool temperatures and blustery winds didn't keep the Aurora Huskies from better their season marks in several events at the Grand Island Invitational Thursday afternoon.
Tayor Thiele lowered her time in the 300 meter hurdles to 47.91, Ben McQuiston lowered his time in the 800 meter run to 2:00.3 and both the boys and girls 3200 meter relay teams had season best times. For complete story, see the April 25 issue of the Aurora News-Register. |

For a few weeks I have watched the leaves change colors so today after school I climed the tree in my side yard to look over the houseto see the trees in the valley below. So when I got to the spot in the tree where I could see far enough I took pictures of the fall colors on either side of my house.

Picture quality
The only TVs that can compete with the Panasonic VT50 are the Sharp Elite and, yes, that hoary veteran the Pioneer Kuro (circa 2008). Ignoring size differences (the Kuro maxed out at 60 inches) and the fact that you can't get one anymore, I actually would still rather watch the Kuro than this Panasonic -- but it's very close. The VT50 is a better TV overall than the Sharp Elite, however, despite the latter's arguably superior black-level performance. My vote goes to the Panasonic for its more accurate color and perfect screen uniformity. Of course if you sit anywhere but the sweet spot in front of the middle of the screen, the Panasonic's advantages increase. The only reason I'd recommend the Sharp Elite instead is if you can't control ambient light in the room (and if you can't, you might as well get a lesser TV anyway), you really value 3D performance, or you really want the 70-inch Elite's larger screen.
As you can probably guess by now, the VT50 earned a "10" in this category. Its only real flaws are excessive crosstalk in 3D and some wonkiness during calibration, but neither of those can keep it from taking the 2012 TV picture-quality crown -- and serving as my new reference TV. It's clearly Panasonic's best plasma ever, and creates some stiff competition for the OLEDs arriving later this year.

Yeah, this is it! The Metal Bands World Cup! We are in the year of the Soccer World Cup, so I thought of doing this. It's based in the cup organization rules, but kind of different:
Group stage: 4 metal bands are selected, each person have the power to give a point (vote) for one band, when a band reaches 5 points, the band election is over, and the top 2 bands of the group stay for the knockout stage. There will be playoffs if needed.
Knockout stage: Like in the famous battle of the bands thread, you are going to vote for one band, the band that reaches 5 points first is going to stay for it's next game, or win the competition, if it the final.
Rules: 1-Give a good reason for why you chose that band 2-You can only vote once in a game 3-Don't complain if your band if loosing or lose 4-Community Rules">http://armorgames.com/page/Forum-Rules]Rules and Guidelines apply too
Mods: People who will help me, not the community official mods, normal users who I invite to help.
I hope AG users like it!

Pink Floyd, though they technically shouldn't be here. Anyways, nearly all of Pink Floyd's music is amazing (well, the Waters led stuff). Plus, Wish You Were Here is probably one of the sexiest albums, if not THE sexiest album ever.

They were good without Waters. MLoR was okay, but Division Bell was easily as good as the Final Cut or Meddle or Animals.
Even though they're not even close to metal, PF because they're the greatest band of all-time(imo) and win all music contests instantly.

Non-language courses in Classics are grouped into three categories: Ancient History and Society, Material Cultures/Archaeology, and Myth and Text. Ideally, these courses are, except where noted, offered on a two-year cycle. A select number of courses may be offered annually.
Non-language classics courses do not require knowledge of Greek or Latin. Although the courses are grouped according to their major focus, many courses may involve elements from all three non-language tracks (material culture; history and society; myth and text).
Archaeology and Material Culture
Courses in this category focus upon the study of material culture, including the processes by which physical evidence from the ancient world isuncovered and analyzed; the evolution of urban forms; expression of architecture and art; the theories and practices of ancient technology; and the relationships of ancient cultures with their environments and ecosystems.
Ancient History and Society
Courses in this category focus upon the study of the culture and society of ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East, including religion, politics, law, sexuality, economics, education, and patterns of thought and behavior, as well as the approaches and methodologies of ancient historians.
Myth and Text
Courses in this category focus upon the study of the traditions of ancient mythology, the major Greek and Roman literary works and authors in translation, and the ways in which images and ideas from ancient myths and texts found shape in later literary traditions. Students interested in these topics may also want to consider the literature courses in Greek and Latin
Greek and Latin
The courses in Classical Languages are grouped into Latin and Greek and involve the study of the language and reading of primary authors. Although Latin and ancient Greek are no longer spoken, we encourage students to study language knowing that work with the ancient languages encourages logical thought, provides a sophisticated grasp of the possibilities of language, enhances an understanding of the culture, and gives the student opportunities to study at first hand some of the greatest works of the human spirit.
Beginning and Intermediate sequences (101, 102, 151) are offered in both languages each year. Courses beyond the intermediate level are offered according to demand. Half credit courses (235) are offered as complementary reading courses in conjunction with a Classical Humanities course.
The most up-to-date information about courses is available through Banner Web.

I cannot say enough about Hugh Donaghue. He was reassuring, always available to answer my questions and his staff and the other attorneys in the office were great. More importantly the results far exceeded what I imagined the case to be worth.

2012 KCBS Board of Directors Election
Candidate: Gene Goycochea
1. Please describe the skills you possess (which you believe are stronger than the other candidates) which would make you an asset as a board member, in dealing with the challenges facing KCBS, and give an example of how those skills would serve the KCBS Board of Directors and its membership.
I have many years' experience in and around BBQ, I also have a Business background that several candidates do not possess, I was a successful business owner prior to retirement, managed several businesses, have a common sense approach that I believe is of benefit, I have had to make payroll, pay bills, manage labor, make the hard decisions that life in a small business throws at you and still have a paycheck and growth at the end of the day.2. If you are a Cook, Judge, Rep or Backyard Cook, please identify the major KCBS issues concerning, one of areas in which you are involved. Describe the major issue, your strategies to correct or improve the issue, and what you see as the biggest challenge to the success of your plan.
I have a vast experience in all aspects of BBQ, I was a cook team for 17 years, did well in competition, I was an organizer, have organized approx. 28 contests over the years, I have been a Contest Rep and a KCBS Judging Instructor since 1999 have Judged and Repped many contest all over the Country. I feel that my experience offers me the knowledge to find and fix problems that I have seen occur in the past. I feel that we need to repair or judging program to bring older judges and newer judges to the same party, I brought up several times over the past 3 years that we needed a refresher course for judges, it is now coming to fruition.3. Identify your major short term goal and the major long term goal, if elected to the Board of KCBS and your plan to implement change or improvement in order to carry out each of these goals.
I would say that my main goal is to assist In membership growth, membership satisfaction and being able to continue to say that KCBS offers that best and most comprehensive sanctioning system in the World, we need to continue raising the bar, having more well run sanctioned contests for our Teams and Judges alike.4. If elected please explain "your level of commitment, time and energy" for committee projects and monthly reports, board meetings and attendance, as well as representing KCBS to the public and being responsive to our members.
I am retired and willing to spend the time needed to get the job done. I am a get it done type of person. I have missed 2 meetings in 3 years, both KCBS travel related, in the air on way to contests, I have had 1 no report; there was honestly nothing to report for that month.5. Please describe your previous participation in KCBS activities and years of experience.
I as stated earlier have been involved as a cook, judge, organizer, rep and a judging instructor for KCBS, additionally I was the State rep for California, Arizona and Nevada when that program existed, my responsibility on the Board of Directors the past 3 years was membership, what I accomplished was bringing membership numbers from beginning of 2009 9709 KCBS members to end of 2010 14,229 members, a 60% increase, I also started the lifetime membership program, additionally added some membership benefits such as a rental car company discount, Restaurant depot access and a membership rewards program for membership discounts when you bring in a new member, we are now implementing a new program to honor KCBS members for the achievement of competing In 20+ contests with an award.6. Please explain why you want to be a member of the KCBS Board.
I feel that I still have some great Ideas and the desire to get things done; I am a hand's on person and would love to continue working on rules, training and problem solving.

Detroiters hopeful serial rapist is in custody
By Sarah Hulett
Detroiters are hopeful police have found the person responsible for raping seven women on the city's east side.
A "person of interest" is in police custody The man has not yet been charged. Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee says investigators are being careful not to rush things:
"We have 48 hours to present a warrant to the prosecutor. That is in any case. If it goes outside the scope of 48 hours, as in any case, we would have to have an exception that would allow us to do so."
In most cases, the women were waiting for a bus or walking near a bus stop when they were attacked.

Leibovitz Deadline Passes, Nothing Happens
Matthew Hiltzik, a spokesman for Leibovitz, says, "Annie is continuing to work to resolve this matter with Art Capital, according to a report by NPR. Montieth M. Illingworth, who is the spokesman for Art Capital Group, told me by e-mail today that there is "nothing to report right now."
What remains are choices ... all of them belonging to Art Capital Group. The art finance institution could allow Leibovitz to renegotiate, extend the loan's timeframe or take a portion or all of the collateral. The estimated value of all the collateral posted is between $80 million and $90 million, though the artistic and real estate assets may not sell as easily as some expect.
It seems as though Art Capital Group is approaching the situation delicately, as it wants to avoid the messiness of bankruptcy proceedings. The answers may come at the next court date, scheduled for October 2, 2009, unless the parties can come to an agreement before then.

Introduction Color Streak Transparency Luster Hardness Cleavage Fracture Specific Gravity Crystal Form
Mineral Matters Regional Minerals
Usually, we notice the color of a mineral first. Some minerals are easily identified by color because they are never any other color. For example, malachite is always green. Keep in mind, however, that color by itself isn't enough to identify a mineral. Chemical impurities can change the color of a mineral without changing its basic make-up. For example, quartz in its purest form is colorless and clear as glass. Quartz with traces of iron becomes violet (amethyst). With traces of manganese, it turns pink (rose quartz). If quartz is exposed to radiation, it turns brown (smoky quartz).
