State and local economic development and workforce leaders met Wednesday to discuss how to ready the local workforce for the jobs that will be created by Sasol's expansion.
Leaders met to discuss exactly what kind of jobs the expansion will create and what kind of training courses are needed to meet those needs.
On Monday, Gov. Bobby Jindal announced that the state will fund a $20 million training center at Sowela Technical Community College to help train people for the integrated gas-to-liquids and ethane cracker complex.
Sasol announced Monday that the company is planning the $16-to-$21 billion facility at its location in Westlake. Officials said the expansion will create 7,000 direct and indirect jobs. The expansion is expected to take several years to complete.
State officials say it is the largest manufacturing investment in Louisiana history.
Dr. Joseph Fleishman, Vice Chancellor for Workforce Development at Sowela, spoke to KPLC on Wednesday morning about the training center.
"The training center will totally change Southwest Louisiana. It will put us in a position in which we become global players, preparing our workforce and impacting the whole state," he said.
Fleishman said the center will afford the school the opportunity to work with business and industry in developing customized training.
"Industry right now is ramping up for construction workers so we know we need trained welders, machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, electronic technicians – all of those programs that Sowela Technical Community College currently has, we'll be offering those," he said.
Fleishman said the school will also offer a series of non-credit, short-term training courses for individuals to improve upon the skills they already have.
Sasol officials have said that eventually, there will be a website for those interested in employment or doing business with Sasol.
KPLC's Theresa Schmidt will have more from the Wednesday meeting on later editions.

UFC 148 will see the long awaited rematch between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen for the UFC middleweight championship. Silva won their first fight with a last minute submission after Sonnen had dominated the majority of the bout to that point.
The UFC has released a preview of the primetime hype show which will air on FUEL TV:
The real question is...why FUEL TV?
Obviously, the show is going to sell in pretty good numbers. It's a big fight between big personalities that people are excited to see. But putting a show that hypes up a pay-per-view event on a network no one watches seems a lot like wasted effort. I can only assume they'll be putting Primetime on the internet almost immediately so that people get the chance to see the show.
One has to think that even a midnight or 1am showing on FX would draw more viewers than FUEL at any time of day. It just seems like a curious move is all.

Section 6: Accounting for Grants and Contracts
Establishment and Financial Management of Recharge Centers and Specialized Service Facilities
Effective Date:
Approved By:
Kerry Kennedy, Vice President for Business AffairsLenora Chapman, Associate Vice President, Financial Affairs
Last Revised On:
For Assistance Contact:
Grants and Contracts Financial Services
This guideline provides a framework for the fiscal operations of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) recharge centers and specialized service facilities to ensure compliance with federal cost principles and consistency in accounting and costing practices. All recharge centers and specialized service facilities must maintain common accounting and administrative practices despite variations in volume and complexity of goods and services rendered.
As a recipient of federal funds, UTSA must comply with OMB Circular A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions, as published by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Table of Contents
A. Overview
In this guideline recharge centers and specialized service facilities are referred to collectively as "service centers." Service centers are UTSA units that provide goods and/or services to users, primarily within UTSA, and charge users for the goods and services.
There are three major types of service centers at UTSA:
1. Research recharge centers provide services and access to equipment and tools for research activities for a fee. The Kleberg Advanced Microscopy Center is an example of a research recharge center.
2. Institutional recharge centers reallocate costs from a central Cost Center to users throughout UTSA. The rates charged represent a redistribution of expenses and not a fee for goods provided or services rendered. Examples include Facilities Services and Facilities Coordinated Projects.
3. Specialized service facilities offer highly complex or specialized services that are not readily available from outside sources An example is the Laboratory Animal Resource Center.
Because service centers may directly or indirectly charge federal grants and contracts, UTSA must comply with the cost principles and accounting standards required by OMB Circular A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions.."
B. Establishment of Service Centers
The request to establish a new service center must be submitted to the Director, Grants and Contracts Financial Services (GCFS) for initial review using the UTSA Service Center Information Sheet. This information sheet is also used when a service center intends to expand its customer base to include external customers, to add additional services or to update billing rates.
The approval of the Director of the unit involved and/or Dean and the appropriate Vice President is required. Specialized service facilities also require the approval of the Vice President for Research (VPR) or designee. GCFS or designated costing personnel will review the request with the initiator. Final budget and billing rates will be presented to the Associate Vice President for Financials Affairs or the Assistant Vice President for Financial Affairs for approval.
C. Contractual Requirements for External Customers
An external customer is a customer that does not pay using a UTSA Cost Center/Project ID, such as a faculty member or student acting in an individual capacity. A unilateral agreement signed by the customer is required for all external customers (see Appendix A). The agreement may not be revised or edited in any way. The billing schedule may be appended to the document along with a full description of the services to be provided. The agreement should be reviewed by the official to whom the service center reports to determine the appropriateness of the proposed work. These agreements must be kept on file by the service center.
External customers who identify themselves as federally funded must provide appropriate documentation (e.g., a copy of the federal award that is paying for the services). Contact GCFS for assistance in such cases.
- Revenues from external customers must be tracked separately.
If services are charged to external customers, UTSA may have a liability for unrelated business income tax (UBIT) which is paid by the service center. For information on UBIT, contact the Office of Financial Services and University Bursar.
D. Billing Rates
1. Internal Customers
- Internal billing rates should be designed to recover the direct costs of the goods or services provided. Indirect costs of operating the service center that are paid by UTSA and not charged to the recharge center Cost Center (operating account) cannot be included in the calculation of billing rates.
- All UTSA internal customers must be charged the same rate for the same level of service under the same circumstances.
- Federal grants and contracts administered by UTSA are internal customers.
- Federal grants and contracts must be charged a rate equal to or lower than the rate charged to any other customer.
- Federal grants and contracts cannot be charged for services rendered free of charge to other customers.
- To determine the billing rate, the total annual costs to provide the goods or services plus or minus any surplus/deficit from the prior year is divided by total annual usage:
EXAMPLE: Billing Rate = Budgeted operating costs ± prior year adjustment/expected units of activity (customer base)
- All costs must be reasonable, allowable, allocable and consistently treated. Unallowable costs cannot be budgeted or expensed on service center Cost Centers. See See OMB Circular A-21, Section J for guidance on allowable and unallowable costs.
- Allowable costs include but are not limited to:
- Salaries, wages, fringe benefits
- Materials and supplies
- Equipment lease or rental
- Equipment maintenance contracts/repairs
- Postage and telephone
- Non-capitalized equipment (unit cost less than $5,000)
- Travel expenses related to center business
- Unallowable costs cannot be included in the internal billing rate calculations. Typical unallowable costs include but are not limited to:
- Advertising and public relations costs
- Alcoholic beverages
- Bad debts or uncollected billings
- Contingency provisions
- Cost of equipment $5,000 or greater per item
- Entertainment costs
- Fines and penalties
- Goods and services for personal use
- Insurance and indemnification
- Memberships, subscriptions and professional activity costs of a social or individual nature
- Selling and marketing costs
- The cost of capital equipment purchases may not be charged to the service center Cost Center (operating account), but the cost of capital equipment purchased with non-federal funds may be recovered by including a depreciation component in the billing rate (straight-line depreciation over the useful life of the equipment). The depreciation portion of annual revenue is transferred to the recharge center equipment reserve, which will be used to purchase replacement equipment.
- User rates must be supported by cost calculations based on historical costs and service levels. Estimated rates may only be used in the first year of service.
- A service center may have different measurable units for different types and classes of goods and services offered. User rates consisting of flat fees that charge per range of actual use (e.g. light, medium or heavy) are not in compliance with cost accounting standards. Centers providing multiple services may not subsidize the cost of certain services by charging excessive rates for other services.
2. External customers
- Separate billing rates should be developed for external customers. These rates should recover all costs, both direct and the appropriate indirect costs. Rates charged to external, non-federal customers should include a surcharge at least equivalent to the current approved Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rate. For more information on Facilities and Administrative costs see Financial Management Operational Guideline (FMOG) - Grants and Contracts Accounting Practices.
- External rates should not be so low as to constitute unfair competition with private enterprise for similar services available in the area.
- At no time should an external customer be charged less than internal customers or the federal government for the same service.
NOTE: Service centers are required to review and update billing rates annually.
E. Billing Procedures
- All customers must be billed consistently, timely (no less than quarterly) and accurately for services received. User bills must have sufficient detail to identify the services provided. Billings must be based upon measured and documented use. Billings to internal customers are charged through Interdepartmental Transfers of expense (IDTs). Sufficient detail must be included to identify the services provided, billing rates and usage. A copy of the required project agreement (Appendix C) must be attached as authorization to charge the Cost Center/Project ID.
- Service centers must comply with university cash handling and billing procedures. Some external users may be subject to sales tax, which is collected by the service center. For more information see FMOGs Cash Handling and Management and Processing Cash Payments.
- All invoices to external customers must be on UTSA letterhead. Service centers may customize invoices, but all invoices must include the elements shown in Appendix B.
- Advance billings are not allowed. "Pre-billing" customers at year-end for services to be delivered in the next fiscal year is prohibited.
- Payments must be deposited to the associated service center Cost Center.
- Accounts receivable will be recorded on the same schedule as customer billing. Fund receipts will be applied to accounts receivable.
F. Accounting Guidelines
1. Accounts
Service centers may have multiple Cost Centers in which to record revenue and expenditures depending upon the customer base.
- A single Service Center Fund Cost Center will be used to record all income and expenditures derived from internal customers.
- A separate Designated Fund Cost Center will be established for external customers.
- A single Designated Fund Cost Center will be used for multiple external agreements that are less than $5,000 per agreement.
- Individual Designated Fund Cost Centers must be established for each external agreement totaling $5,000 or more.
- A separate Equipment Reserve Cost Center may be established in the Designated Fund for recovery of depreciation on equipment purchased with non-federal funds.
For more information on Service Center and Designated Funds see FMOG - Chart of Accounts.
2. Expenditures
All costs related to the operation of service centers must be recorded in specified Cost Centers within the Service Center or Designated Funds. This includes salaries, fringe benefits, supplies and related travel costs. Shared expenses must be allocated on an equitable basis to all user Cost Centers/Project IDs.
See "Billing Rates" for a listing of allowable and unallowable costs.
3. Fiscal review
Service centers should target break-even goals through proper budgeting, rate setting and billing practices. Service centers are responsible for comparing actual costs and revenues at the end of each fiscal year and taking appropriate action.
- Deficit Balances: Service centers may not operate for more than one complete fiscal year with a deficit balance unless approved by the Associate Vice President for Financial Affairs. Any center with a deficit of more than 10% of operating costs must provide GCFS with a written plan to eliminate the deficit. This plan may include one or a combination of the following:
- Rate increases sufficient to liquidate the deficit
- A transfer of funds from another UTSA department
- Surplus Balances: Surplus balances will be reduced by rate reductions. Surplus amounts will not be transferred from service center Cost Centers to subsidize other university operations or to purchase goods/services for operations unrelated to the service center unless the transfer is to a Cost Center which previously provided a subsidy to cover an operating deficit or provided start-up funds.
GCFS conducts periodic reviews of institutional rechargecenters, and the Office of the VPR conducts reviews of research recharge centers and specialized service facilities for compliance with this guideline. GCFS may also review break-even and other financial information of research recharge centers and specialized service facilities, but the Office of the VPR has the primary responsibility for review of research recharge centers and specialized service facilities.
Annual reviews include, but are not limited to:
- consistent, accurate and timely billing of customers
- appropriate accounting for allowable and unallowable costs and subsidies
- attainment of break-even goals and the treatment of any surpluses or deficits
Biennial reviews (per OMB Circular A-21) include, but are not limited to:
- billing rates and practices, including annual update of rates and methodology for calculating rates
- adequacy of record keeping procedures
Service centers must maintain a schedule of current billing rates to be made available upon request.
4. Subsidies
- If fees cannot be set at a rate sufficient to recover operating costs, another department may not directly pay the operating costs of a service center. The subsidy must be accomplished as a transfer of funds to the service center Cost Center . The transfer is not accounted for as revenue or negative expense.
- Any partial subsidy of a service center either included as part of the budget or absorbed as a deficit at the end of the fiscal year must be identified as an unallowable cost for F&A rate calculation purposes.
- A class of users (e.g. students) may receive service at a reduced fee if the discount is subsidized from another source, but not through a reduction or elimination of the billing. The discount subsidy must be deposited in the Cost Center as income to avoid misstating either usage or revenue.
G. Records Retention
Documents and other records that must be retained by service centers include but are not limited to:
- Work papers showing how billing rates were calculated
- Approval of rates
- Records supporting the level of activity and units of goods/service provided including an Annual Usage Schedule for each billing rate. All usage of billable equipment must be tracked. For example, if the rate is census based, a cumulative census by species/lab must be tracked. If the rate is hourly based, total hours must tracked.
- External and internal customer agreements
- actual direct operating costs of providing the goods/services
- revenues, billings and collections
- annual surplus or deficit
- customer charges, including invoices and other records that identify the service provided to each customer.
Records must be maintained for a minimum of five years, or in the case of grant or contract customers, as long as the grant or contract is subject to audit, whichever is longer. In no case may the retention period be shorter than the period required by the UTSA Records Retention Schedule.
External Customers
Use of UTSA resources for providing services to external customers: students, individuals or organizations outside of UTSA must be consistent with the primary missions of instruction, research, and public service. See Section C(2) "External Customers" for additional requirements prior to providing services to external customers.
Internal Customers
Internal customers are defined as those paying for goods and services through interdepartmental transfers (IDTs) against funds held in a UTSA account. Services provided to internal customers require a unilateral agreement (format at Appendix C) signed by the requesting party. This agreement will serve as supporting documentation to be kept on file by the service center. A copy of the agreement should be attached to the IDT as authorization to charge the account.
Service Center
An activity that performs specific technical or administrative services, primarily for the internal operations of UTSA and is authorized to charge users for its services. An authorized service center can provide services to external customers. A separate account is established and monitored to record all costs and revenues.
Specialized Service Facility
A service center that offers highly complex or specialized services that are not readily available from outside sources - for example, animal care facilities. A separate account must be established to record all costs and revenues associated with a Specialized Service Facility.

This is a solid, extremely enjoyable alt.
Brownish amber, it has a thin off-white head dissipating immediately to a thin ring and leaving no lace.
Aroma is caramelised toasty barley, hints of bread and whole wheat, light earthy leafiness. It's very good, but a bit simple.
Taste is better, nice toasty grain, barley, some bread crust and mineral hint with light zesty-peppery-earthy leafiness, and light bitterness to balance sweetness. It has a lively finish, nice firm aftertaste. It's flavourful with light complexity and good balance, holds up well, stays interesting yet is highly drinkable. It has a good, firm, lively feel. Drinkability is exceedingly high.

12 oz. bottle,
A: Pours a hazy amber with a moderate clingy white head, leaves spots of lace.
S: Toasty biscuity malt, light caramel, noble hops, definite minerality, classic Alt nose. Hint of orange essence.
T: Sweet bready, cakey, brown sugar malt flavour with minerality. Light grassy hop flavour brings a good counterbalance. Very good flavour overall.
M: Light-bodied. creamy, very smooth, very soft carbonation.
D: This is going down really fast and is a delight. Saw a new beer at Hi-Times, thought I'd pick it up, Altbier's a relatively rare style any way. Sub 5%, great flavour, easy drinking, what's not to love.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint.
Altbiers are depressingly scarce in Florida, I saw this bottle hanging out with the tell-tale "ALT" in front at Total Wine and snapped it up. The beer pours a medium-clarity orange-amber color with a finger of persistent head. The aroma is nice, it's got a touch of leafy hops paired with some caramel and nutty malts. The taste is very smooth, with the caramel malt and the slightest hint of leafy hops leading the way. The nuttiness comes in to dominate the finish, leaving a rather nice, soft aftertaste to linger. The mouthfeel is just about right, it goes down very easily. The drinkability is scary good. It's an excellent, highly drinkable beer while still providing what the big guys miss - flavor. I can't say I've had any other Altbiers before this, so I can't say if it hit the style marks or not, but it hit the taste marks just fine.

Taste: Nice amount of bitterness not to sweet nice amount of wheat not to creamy.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied not much carbonation, has a nice warm bitterness that last.
Overall: Not a bad alt first one I've had that was easy to drink. Great fall beer.

Alberta (Canada)
3.9/5 rDev +8.9%
355ml bottle. One of only a handful of altbiers available in Alberta - hey, we've got a ton of German heritage here too!
This beer pours a somewhat hazy, medium burnished golden amber hue, with one finger of foamy, frothy beige head, which leaves some nice tree moss lace around the glass as it evenly bleeds away.
It smells of subtly grainy barley malt, mild green apple mush, a hint of dry nuttiness, and a watery metallic character. The taste is bready caramel malt, some lesser wheaty notes, muddled orchard fruit, that sleek metallic undertone, and floral, leafy hops.
The carbonation is quite sedate, but still goes by its job honestly, the body a decent medium weight, and fairly smooth as well. It finishes still solid on the gently toasted caramel malt front, the moderated sweetness abetted by the lingering fruit and understated floral hops.
A nice, generally full-flavoured instance of the style. It would seem to work on a summer patio (current situation), or equally well as an apres-ski, or any other fresh air mountain pursuit. Take that, Coors Light!
06-05-2012 01:51:40 | More by biboergosum
3.88/5 rDev +8.4%
A - Half a finger of white foam quickly disappates and leaves good lace. The body is a hazy reddish brown color.
S - Toasted malt, caramel, and toffee with some light german hop notes.
T - Toasted malt and toffee with smooth caramel. The toast lasts through the finish, while the other malt flavors fade. A slightly earthy hop flavor shows up in the finish with moderate bitterness and some biscuit malt flavor.
M - Medium body, moderate carbonation, and a dry finish.
D - This is a nice, drinkable interpritation of an all to unusual style. It could stand a bit more hop character, but the dry finish makes up for this shortcoming and ensures balance and drinkability.

12oz from Brewforia... Paid about $2... Pours with a short lived off white head... great sheets of lacing though.. the brew is lite amber.
Nose is pretty clean maltiness.. though the malts seem a bit restrained.. very light noble hops in the background.. pretty good I guess.
Flavor begins with a descent bitterness and moves quickly into a good malt profile highlited by some toasty elements... bready .. a little metallic.. coppery... I know that "minerally" is okay with an Altbier, but this seems a tad high.. Body and carbonation are about medium.
Meh.... Good I guess... I'm having a hard time with it because of the metallic notes on the finish.. but maybe they are supposed to be there... I don't know. I probably won't buy this again unless I am in a store that can guarantee freshness.

A: Nice caramel color. Nicely carbed with a 1 finger white head. Cleared quick but still looked good.
S: Caramel sweet malt. Not really many noble hops came forward in aroma. Marzeny goodness.
T: Super light. Super easy drinker. Not a lot of complexity but a real thirst quencher. A little too much like water in terms of malty background. Good but so easy to forget. Nice subtle sweetness.
M: Thin like water.
O: Easy drinker but really not complex at all. Super easy drinker like water.

Poured into a becker a clear light to medium copper color with a nicely defined white one finger head atop that lasted nicely.Caramel and nutty malt mixed with a tinge of iron in the nose,a passing whiff of leafy hops come into play as well,well rounded.A little light in the feel wich takes away from the flavors,dryer nutty malt with mild fruitiness and leafy hops in the finish,well rounded but a little light in the flavor department.Not a bad alt beer it's something you could drink alot of but might become bored with after a few.

Pours clear medium brown with one finger of off white head. Head recedes to a ring of foam rather soon. Very minor lacing. Aroma is malty with a hint of hops. Taste is roasted malts with a kiss of bitter hops. A bit of leather on the back of the tongue gives it a dry moderately bitter finish. A nice session beer due to the 4.6% abv. Nice Alt bier. My sample was very fresh and this may be a summer seasonal I'm not certain. New find at the beer store.

Dark amber coloured beer, with a very nice thick,creamy off white head. Nice aromas of corn/oat/cereal a wee bit of toast. Semis sweet creamy malty taste, at first then dissapates and becomes a tad more bitter,nutty..hazel nuts. Realativly thin mouthfeel about it, but does have its moments. A nice simple beer, OK.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours moderately cloudy orange amber color with a small dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of caramel, honey, grape, pear, apple, toast, pepper, floral, grass, bread, and yeast earthiness. Ok aromas with decent balance of malt, yeast, and hop notes; with decent strength. Smells aged/slightly stale. Taste of caramel, honey, bread, toast, cracker, floral, pear, apple, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. No bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, honey, toast, bread, cracker, floral, pear, apple, grass, and earthiness on the finish for a bit. Nice balance of malt, hop, and fruity ester notes; with good flavor robustness and no cloying flavors after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a fairly creamy and smooth mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming noticed after the finish; as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a very solid altbier. No idea on age, but it still had some good balance and flavor robustness; and was very easy to drink. An enjoyable offering.

The Fishbowl serves this ale in tall, slender pilsner glasses that accentuate its spry carbonation and the clarity of its copper body. Eightmile's aroma consists of tangy, doughy yeast elements. The taste is not as nutty or as thoroughly bittered as some alts, though a bit of warming coaxes greater alt character. The taste is otherwise tangy with a finish that appears, vanishes, and returns.
A physically pretty beer. Refreshing and casual.

3.43/5 rDev -4.2%
Pours orangish copper - towards light brown with a small swirling patch rather than a head. No real lacing, other than one thin ring, to speak of.
The smell is of caramelish and grainy sweetness with a touch of noble-type, slightly floral, hop spicing.
The taste is grainy/caramelish - has a sweet touch, but balanced in the finish with a floral/earthy note. Rather on the thin side, though well-balanced, with just enough lingering taste.
It is light-bodied, towards fizzy, though it does hold up well-enough to just make it past watery.
A decent attempt at the style. It's light and easy enough to drink.

Poured only a 1/4" white head which quickly dissipated. Color is a hazy raw sienna yellow, not particularly attractive. Smells mildly of hops but not much else. Taste reminds me of Octoberfest, it's got that slight cocoa butter aspect from the yeast used and a smoother mouthfeel than BMCs, but otherwise doesn't stand out.

3.33/5 rDev -7%
12oz bottle which, according to the label, was bottled in September.
Poured a dark mahogany color that takes on a more orangey amber color when held up to light. Modest off-white head that dropped fairly quickly. Spotty lace.
Bready malts and soft, floral hops comprise the nose. Blandly pleasant would be a good way to describe it.
Taste is pretty similar to the smell, with it being fairly well-balanced between unassertive hops and biscuity malts, but there's some odd mineralish notes at the finish that mar things a bit.
Medium bodied, with a slightly coating mouthfeel.
Drinkable in that it's rather undemanding, but it's also uninteresting. I've had much better Alts, and don't feel a need to return to this one.

3.28/5 rDev -8.4%
Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
Look – creamy-looking dark brown, with about half a finger's worth of cream-colored foam that dissipates quickly.
Smell – slightly malty smell, with a hint of a creaminess to it.
Taste – instantly a dry taste, especially felt on the sides of the palate. Musky in the middle, and slightly sweet on the finish. Also a bit of a bite in the aftertaste. Interesting taste.
Mouthfeel – dry and a tinsy bit on the creamy side.
Overall – interesting brew. Not my favorite in terms of taste, but still interesting enough.

~850mhz, 800sp's, 40 tmu's, 16 rops, 256-bit bus, ~1.35 Tflops.... sounds familiar to me. Other than the featureset of the 68xx cards, including dx 11, it's just about the same as the 4890, with an increased memory clock and lowered power consumption. The naming scheme seems to have less to do with what chip it's using, not to mention naming this the 6830 would be very misleading as it's just about as powerful as a 5830.

BROTHERTOWN, Wisconsin (WXOW) -- Authorities say carbon monoxide poisoning caused the death of a Chilton woman in an ice shanty on Lake Winnebago.
An autopsy on 30-year-old Sara Meyer was performed Monday. Meyer was declared dead at the shanty Saturday. A 37-year-old man who was found unresponsive in the shelter was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. His name and condition have not been released.
The Calumet County sheriff's office says the investigation is continuing, but foul play is not suspected.
Authorities are urging anglers to use caution when heating their fishing shanties, and to make sure their heating equipment is in good working order and vented properly.

YANKTON, S.D. - A sophomore distance runner from Dakota State University will be competing at the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships in May. Michael Hoffman qualified to NAIA Nationals for the first time in his collegiate track career at DSU.
Hoffman ran in the RiverRat Half-Marathon on Saturday, April 23. He placed second behind the reigning NAIA All-American marathoner, Thomas Madut. Hoffman ran a time of one hour, 16 minutes and 17 seconds, which is a provisional qualifying national mark.
"Mike ran a great race on a tough and windy course," stated Mike Nekuda, one of the track coaches for the Trojans. "I'm extremely excited to see Mike qualify for nationals. He has improved tremendously over the past year through his consistent hard work."
Hoffman will be running the marathon on May 28 in Marion, Ind.
Michael is the son of Tim and Renae Hoffman of Beresford, S.D.

Operation Plumbbob
Operation Plumbbob was a series of nuclear tests conducted between May 28 and October 7, 1957, at the Nevada Test Site, following Project 57, and preceding Project 58.[1] It was the biggest, longest, and most controversial test series in the continental United States.
During the Pascal-B nuclear test, a heavy (900 kg) (approx 1,984 pounds) steel plate cap (a piece of armor plate) was blasted off the top of a test shaft at a speed of more than 66 km/s (41 miles per second or 147,600mph). Before the test, experimental designer Dr. Brownlee had performed a highly approximate calculation that suggested that the nuclear explosion, combined with the specific design of the shaft, would accelerate the plate to six times escape velocity.[4] The plate was never found, but Dr. Brownlee believes that the plate never left the atmosphere (it may even have been vaporized by compression heating of the atmosphere due to its high speed). The calculated velocity was sufficiently interesting that the crew trained a high-speed camera on the plate, which unfortunately only appeared in one frame, but this nevertheless gave a very high lower bound for the speed. After the event, Dr. Robert R. Brownlee described the best estimate of the cover's speed from the photographic evidence as "going like a bat out of hell!"[5][6] The use of a subterranean shaft and nuclear device to propel an object to escape velocity has since been termed a "thunder well".
This incident was reputedly used as part of the technical justification for the Orion project for possible use of nuclear blasts for outer-space propulsion.

LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas man is the latest to plead guilty for his role in a scheme to fraudulently gain control of condominium homeowners' associations.
Daniel Solomon pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Lloyd George on one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
Solomon admitted that from Jan. 2006 to Feb. 2009, he took part in a scheme to control various HOA boards so that the HOA boards would award the handling of construction related lawsuits and construction contracts to a specific law firm and construction company.
Solomon admitted he acted as a straw purchaser at the Vistana condominium complex. Solomon's co-conspirators provided the down payments and monthly payments for the property.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

Back in the good old days – before we realized climate change was an enormous threat to civilization and Dennis Eckersley still played for the A's – utilities owned power plants.
Utilities are "regulated monopolies." The government frees utilities from competition by only allowing one utility per geographic region, but in exchange for this freedom the utility must abide by minimum reliability standards and price caps set by our government.
The idea is that competition lowers prices and increases quality, but in the case of infrastructure, competition would lead to significant redundant costs; it is cheaper to build one transmission system than five, even if that one transmission system is built by a relatively inefficient monopoly. Thus, the government authorizes monopolies and regulates the quality and prices those monopolies can get away with. This system has a number of problems, but the status quo is surprisingly good: it costs less than 10 cents to power your laptop for 15 hours, and the average utility customer loses power for less than an hour a year.
In the late 1990s, however, the State of California decided to make this pretty good system even better. Regulators realized that although we only need one electric grid, we actually need hundreds of power plants. So why not let competitive markets build those power plants? Competition, it was believed, would lead to decreased costs in electric generation.
This was a good theory, but flaws in execution (predicted at least as early as 1996 by a fantastic group called The Regulatory Assistance Project [1] among others) led to a drastically different reality. In 1999 California's regulators required utilities to sell off all of their generation assets. The problem? Not enough companies purchased the power plants to lead to competition. Individual companies were able to independently manipulate prices. By shutting down 20% of its recently acquired power plants, a company could increase the price of power in the entire state by, say, 50%, and make boatloads of money at California's expense.
Companies like Enron did exactly this, so even though there were just as many if not more power plants in 2000 as there were in early 1999, power was 800% more expensive than a year earlier and suddenly in great shortage. [2] So voila. The California energy crisis.
This process – requiring regulated utilities to sell off their power plants to a competitive private sector – is called deregulation. Many States learned from California's mistakes and deregulated successfully. New York and the entire Northeast have all undergone successful deregulation, as has Florida. The huge gains in efficiency hoped for by economists have not been wholly realized, but disasters like California's have been avoided.
Of all the States to deregulate, Texas has seen by far the best results. The leading theory for why deregulation was so successful in Texas is that Texas' electric grid is actually not connected to the rest of the country or Mexico. (Technically, this is no longer true; Texas has some really cool High Voltage DC lines now interconnecting it to the Southern power pool, but this is relatively small.) When Texas deregulated they were able to enforce market rules and prevent market manipulation since almost all the generators were inside of Texas State boundaries. When adjusted for the price of fuel, Texas' energy prices have remained almost completely flat since they deregulated, even though concrete, steel, and everything else required to build a power plant has gone up substantially.
California's utilities all ended up in "bilateral contracts," long-term (20-year) power purchasing contracts approved by the State's regulators. Thus, there is not a substantial wholesale market in California so California is now called a "Reregulated" State.

If you are responsible and disciplined, you should use your credit card on all major purchases. Charge it, then pay your card bill off in full each month.
This especially applies to pre-paid services, like plane tickets or online/catalog orders -- situations where you don't immediately receive what you bought.
So why should you use your credit card? Because of chargebacks.
Your card-issuer insures credit card purchases, so if that sofa isn't delivered or if that flight's canceled, you dispute it and get a chargeback -- a refund or credit from your card-issuer. If the bank behind your credit card doesn't give you the chargeback, VISA, MasterCard or American Express will.
But consumer advocate Clark Howard said there are rules to credit card chargebacks as they pertain to pre-ordered merchandise, like furniture.
Howard said if you haven't received an online or catalog credit card order within 50 days, contact your card-issuer to initiate a chargeback.
You have a 60-day deadline on chargebacks. After 60 days, no chargebacks.
If the order shows up later, contact your card-issuer to cancel the chargeback.
Be aware: VISA and Mastercard offer no chargebacks on debit card purchases, even with their names on the cards, so only trust your credit card for chargeback protections.
In fact, you should never use your debit card for online purchases, at full-service restaurants where you cannot witness the swipe or at any retailer where you do not receive the merchandise immediately.
Trust the chargeback protections of your credit card -- and pay it off each month.

Parking Meters...
June 12, 2008
Open Letter to
Gang in the Ivory Tower, (Ventura City Hall)
A Big Damn Congratulations on a couple of extraordinary decisions. First of all the Tortilla Flats Mural on Figueroa Street is "Out Standing", this is an example of the excellent kind of "Art in Public Places" we should have throughout our city. We have a plethora of fine artists living here and yet we have many times gone out of the city for "Art Projects". "Street Art" such as this would undoubtedly bring many visitors to our city.
Secondly and obviously not exactly artistic but you deserve tremendous kudos for the decision to install parking meters in our Downtown Area. I have said before, and of course I'll say again, we are far beyond the time when we as a city can afford to pay the cost for all of our street, sidewalk, curb, & gutter maintenance out of basic taxes. As I see the idea is to begin installing the meters in January 2009 if the City Council doesn't postpone that decision. I would argue that not only shouldn't the decision be postponed but if possible start at an earlier date.
Some of the critics say the meters will chase away customers, all I have to say is take a ride to Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, or any other city with parking meters, they certainly have not frightened anybody away. Now that you have made this decision you truly need to think very hard about charging for parking in all of our downtown parking areas, including the existing parking structure and any parking structures to be built in the future. It could be handled using a parking attendant, (Best Choice), or secondly using the type of automatic gate that the folks wanting to park would simply insert the money after they park and upon leaving insert their ticket into the machine. (Second Best).
In any case once again I must reiterate, the city, or rather we tax payers can ill afford to pay for all the maintenance of the parking areas out of our skimpy tax horde, and of course none of us wants any sort of tax increase.

Law Firms
Morrison & Foerster Closes Orange County Office
Posted Apr 29, 2008 7:08 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Morrison & Foerster is closing its Orange County office in the wake of a decision by the head of the outpost to leap to Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.
Orange County managing partner Dean Zipser is moving to Manatt along with partner Thomas Umberg, the Recorder reports. The firm plans to serve Orange County clients with other offices.
MoFo's Orange County office at one time had 50 lawyers, but the number had dwindled to 17 after several recent departures. A Manatt press release says the two lawyers will join the firm's litigation division as partners in Orange County.
"Dean and Tom are well-known litigators and community leaders, both with impressive histories of public service," said Ellen Marshall, administrative partner of Manatt's Orange County office, in the press release.

The Islamic Republic Army of Iran and the Revolutionary Guards are to conduct
joint military exercises in the southwest or southeast of the country, a senior
Iranian army commander said on Wednesday.
Brig.-Gen. Ahmad-Reza
Pourdastan, commander of the Iranian ground forces, said that the army and the
Revolutionary Guards will carry out a special joint air exercise that will be
the first of its type since the Islamic Revolution, Iran's ISNA news outlet and
hardline Mashregh news reported. A further eight joint military exercises would
be held in the upcoming year, Pourdastan said.
The ground forces
commander added that the exercises would be performed using live ammunition and
in battle conditions, to prepare soldiers for war.
The Revolutionary
Guards and the Islamic Republic Army of Iran act as parallel ground forces, but
while the regular army is tasked with defending the country and maintaining
civil order, the job of the Revolutionary Guards is to protect Iran's Islamic
regime. The Revolutionary Guards, which the US designated a terrorist
organization in 2007, also controls Iran's Basij militia, and the secret Quds
Force, which conducts operations outside Iran.
The announcement came days
before Iran and six world powers are due to restart negotiations on Iran's
nuclear program, and as the Islamic Republic continues to give mixed messages
about its position.
According to Pourdastan, who made the announcement
during a speech for Iran's Army Day, the Islamic Republic has also developed its
own vertical wind tunnel for military use. Vertical wind tunnels are used to
teach skydiving to elite troops.
The military commander said that while
there are several such wind tunnels in Arab countries, those were of Western
origin, whereas Iran's had been built domestically, in cooperation with the
Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization.
Pourdastan also said Iran plans to
improve its domestic- built Zulfiqar tank by adding a new firing control system
and laser range-finder.
Iran's Zulfiqar is a second-generation main battle
tank, developed and mass-produced since the 1990s and believed to be based on
components from Russia's T-72 tank as well as American M48 and M60 Patton
Currently, the most updated model, Zulfiqar-3, is equipped with a
firing system based on a Soviet design.
According to Pourdastan, Iran has
produced a Gatlingtype 7.62 caliber machine gun, dubbed the Akhgar, which has an
effective range of over 2 kilometers.
The maneuvers would be the latest
in a series of military exercises and war games Iran has staged since the start
of the year, amid growing tensions and concerns of war with Israel.
February, the Revolutionary Guards announced they had begun a two-day military
exercise outside the central Iranian city of Yazd, which Iran said was designed
to upgrade its defense capabilities.
Also in February, Iran announced
that it had deployed anti-aircraft artillery and warplanes to protect its
nuclear sites from possible Israeli airstrikes, in a military exercise it dubbed
Sarollah, from an Arabic term meaning "the vengeance of God." That same month,
the Revolutionary Guards conducted military exercises in the south of Iran.

A normal pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks from conception to the birth of a baby. This time is roughly divided into three periods, or trimesters: the first trimester, from conception to about the 12th week of pregnancy; the second trimester, from about 13 to 27 weeks of pregnancy; and the third trimester, from about 28 weeks of pregnancy until birth.Each trimester of pregnancy is marked by developmental changes in the fetus. By the end of the first trimester (about week 12 of pregnancy) the fetus has a recognizable human form. By the end of the second trimester (about week 27 of pregnancy), all the vital organs of the fetus have developed. Also, the mother begins to feel the fetus begin to move (quickening), usually starting between weeks 16 and 20. During the third trimester (about week 28 until birth), the fetus's size increases and organs mature.

CHICAGO, Ill. (January 20, 2011) - Jay "The Thoroughbred" Hieron today has been officially confirmed as the last, but certainly not the least, 170 lbs. fighter in Bellator's upcoming Season 4 Welterweight Tournament which is set to air LIVE on MTV2.
The highly regarded UFC, IFL and Strikeforce veteran will enter the talent-rich tournament looking for a shot at current Bellator Welterweight Champion Ben Askren coupled with a $100,000 pay day for his 90 days work. But, first Hieron will first have to make his way through arguably the most talented welterweight tournament in MMA to date.
"Jay's the perfect fighter to round out our stacked welterweight tournament," said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "He's a true mixed martial artist who has very few weaknesses and a ton of strengths inside the cage. Jay will be a tremendous test for anyone and everyone in this talent rich tournament."
The Xtreme Couture trained fighter has not lost a fight in over three years and is currently riding a seven-fight win streak. Hieron enters the welterweight tournament with an impressive 19-4 professional record and holds notable victories over the likes of UFC veteran Jake Ellenberger, UFC/DREAM veteran Jason High, and newly signed Bellator middleweight Joe "Diesel" Riggs.
Eager to return to the cage for the first time in just over a year, Hieron promises a better version of "The Thoroughbred" than ever before under the Bellator banner in 2011.
"I feel great right now. I turned a negative into a positive with my time off and just took the opportunity to sharpen my skills," said Hieron. "When you're training for a fight, the pressure's on, so it's hard to learn and evolve. It's straight business. With this time off I've been able to focus on a lot of new techniques. Now I'm just excited to get back in there and show off my new arsenal."
Growing up near Long Island, New York, Hieron found an outlet for his aggression through high school and college wrestling. Years later, Hieron now finds himself as one of the most dangerous fighters in MMA's welterweight division. Looking toward the next chapter of his MMA career, Hieron says that Bellator's unique tournament format is just what he's been searching for.
"This is the exact type of situation I wanted to be in right now. With the tournament format, there's no politics, no golden boys, and nobody getting protected, there's none of that. If you win you move forward, and that's that. That's the bottom line and that's exactly what I was looking for," said Hieron. "I feel like I've been through as bad a situation that somebody can go through in their career, and I'm still here. Not only that, but my body's right, I'm healthy, and I feel like it's my time."
Hieron joins former Bellator Welterweight World Champion Lyman Good, Season 2 finalist Dan Hornbuckle, undefeated Judo Olympian Rick Hawn, Season 2 semifinalist Steve Carl, undefeated knockout artist Chris Lozano, UK standout "Judo" Jim Wallhead, and fast-rising finisher Brent Weedman in the Bellator Season 4 Welterweight Tournament which will be aired LIVE on MTV2.

Pressure rises in AFC West
Posted May 02, 2012 @ 3:50 p.m.
Posted By Eli Kaberon
Quiz time — Name the only division in the NFL where all four starting quarterbacks have led teams to division titles at some point during their career.
(Cue the
Need a hint? None of the four signalcallers currently plays for the team that drafted them.
Give up yet? It's not the headline-grabbing NFC East, where the presence of rookie Robert Griffin III atop the Redskins' depth chart eliminates their chances. It definitely isn't the AFC East, where there's one future Hall of Famer, one division-winning backup and a bunch of also-rans. The NFC South has a group of great passers, but despite each having passing seasons of 3,500-plus yards to their credit, neither Cam Newton of the Panthers nor the Bucs' Josh Freeman has sniffed a division title.
Nope, the correct answer is the AFC West. In recent years, all four teams have seen major overhauls, especially at the most important position in the sport. A division that, in 2008, had starters like JaMarcus Russell and Tyler Thigpen is now the home to four division-championship-winning QBs. It's what makes the division one of the NFL's toughest to predict, with every team having a legitimate argument to be the preseason favorite. It's also why the pressure on all four quarterbacks is at an all-time high entering the season.
The newest — not to mention best and most-feared — addition to the division is Peyton Manning, who has won eight division titles in his career. Those all came with the Colts, and they all came before he underwent four neck operations and missed the entire 2011 season. Now with the Broncos, there are questions if he can return to the elite form he has shown for so many years, given his time away from the game, his age (36) and the fact that he must adjust to a new team and offensive system.
Denver enters the season as the reigning division champs, and with the addition of Manning, the expectations are that the Broncos will do a lot better than 8-8 in 2012. Nearing the end of his career, the pressure on Manning is to win and win quickly. He's not just looking for another division title; with his brother winning a second Super Bowl last season, the only thing on Manning's mind is adding another championship ring to his jewelry vault.
Another QB with the pressure to not only reach the playoffs, but also advance far, is the longest-tenured member the AFC West fraternity, Philip Rivers of the Chargers. Set to enter his ninth professional season, Rivers himself is no stranger to division titles, having won four in a row from 2006-09. The problem is that since then, he and the Bolts have been shut out of the postseason, despite having what many think is the most talent in the division.
Whether it was key players going down with injuries (not Rivers — he has started 96 consecutive games), special-teams breakdowns or just sloppy play, San Diego hasn't won important games down the stretch the past two seasons, keeping them from playing in the postseason. Plenty of blame went Rivers' way in 2011, when he turned the ball over 25 times. If he duplicates that performance, the heat on Rivers will rival the temperature at the San Diego Zoo next August.
Carson Palmer faces a different type of pressure than Manning and Rivers. Though the goal is to just win, baby, the Raiders don't have the same playoffs-or-bust expectations the Broncos and Chargers do in 2012. Instead, the load on Palmer's shoulders is to show he's still an upper-echelon quarterback and worthy of the tremendous price the team shelled out for him last October. The Raiders gave up a first-round pick in '12 and a conditional second-rounder in '13 (it becomes a first-round pick if the Raiders advance to the AFC championship game) to the Bengals in exchange for Palmer — who had been holding out — in a move that was supposed to push the Silver and Black toward the playoffs.
Instead, the QB showed his rust last season, averaging an interception every 20.5 passes and winning only four of the nine games he started. Now, with a full offseason to prepare and time away from the game no longer an excuse, the former No. 1 overall pick would like to return to his form of '05 and '09, when he directed the Bengals to division titles.
At age 32, Palmer has a few years left before he calls it a career. Though given the way the Raiders are rebuilding their team, there's no telling how much longer they'd want him under center if he's not producing. Simply put, this might be Palmer's last chance to be a clear-cut starter in the NFL.
Despite their different pressures this season, Manning, Rivers and Palmer do have a lot in common. All three are former top-four picks that came into the NFL with a lot of hype and acclaim. Each has lived up to those accolades for the most part, and despite their uncertain long-term futures, each is clearly the starter for their respective teams for 2012.
Matt Cassel, on the other hand, isn't so lucky. The Chiefs' signalcaller led the Chiefs to first place in the AFC West in 2010, yet faces the most pressure for his job of his peers in the division. Cassel is standing at his NFL crossroads. In 54 career starts, Cassel has proven he is worthy of a first-string job with a 28-26 record. He hasn't proven, however, that he's an elite player who will lead his team to a Super Bowl. With a talented roster around him, many in Kansas City believe it will be Cassel's right arm that leads (or fails to lead) the Chiefs to the promised land.
He has shown he can be successful previously, throwing 21 touchdowns for a 10-win Patriots team in '08 and 27 TDs for the division-winning Chiefs in '10. He also has been bad, throwing a combined 25 interceptions and 26 touchdowns for K.C. in '09 and '11, when the team posted an 11-21 record. If the good Cassel emerges again, the Chiefs have the talent to overtake the Broncos as the class of the West. If the bad Cassel is under center, there's no guarantee he will even finish the season as the starter.
The pressure on quarterbacks in the AFC West is usually provided by defenders like Elvis Dumervil, Tamba Hali, Shaun Phillips and Richard Seymour. This season, the pressure will be about legitimizing careers, taking the next step and winning more than just a division championship. Manning, Rivers, Palmer and Cassel have shown they can lead a team to the playoffs. In 2012, to win the toughest division in football, they all will have to show something more.

BLACKFOOT — Representatives from Idaho's Office of the Attorney General met with senior citizens in Blackfoot Wednesday to discuss current scams and to provide consumer protection materials geared to seniors.
Lonny Tutko and Kim Youmans from the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General came to the Bingham County Senior Citizen Center to address the senior population as part of an ongoing consumer outreach program.
"We believe the best prevention to consumer fraud is information," Tutko said.
BLACKFOOT — People who would like to run as write-in candidates for city elections have until 5 p.m. on Tuesday to file as a write-in candidate in the city's office.
The declaration of intent write-in candidate form is available at each city office. The candidate must go to the city office to sign the form and have it notarized.
In a city election, there is no minimum number of votes the candidate must garner in order to be elected. However, in a county election, the write-in candidate must garner five votes to be elected.
BLACKFOOT — October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Bingham Memorial Hospital was one of several regional hospitals that raised breast cancer awareness through the popular Brake for Breakfast event Wednesday morning.
Brake for Breakfast events raise awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection through regular mammograms and self-exams.
The hospital handed out 2,000 free cooler bags with breakfast along with literature and breast cancer awareness gifts to those who drove by the hospital Wednesday morning.

I've always heard that mint is one of the easiest herbs to grow; and after it's planted, the herb will grow like crazy. So crazy, in fact, that it's best to put this herb in a pot rather than directly into a garden. That way it can do its thing without taking over the rest of the plants.
There are about seven herbs growing in my backyard. Mint is not one of them. Other than the occasional mojito or caprinia, I guess we've never found many uses for mint.
But now? Oh, now we have one. This lemon-mint vinaigrette is perfect as a salad dressing, mixed with quinoa, and as a marinade for chicken or a meatless alternative.
lemon-mint vinaigrette
serving size: about ¾ cup
recipe source: Eating Well
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon stevia (or other sugar)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Whisk lemon juice, mustard, sugar and garlic in a small bowl until blended.
- Drizzle in oil, whisking until blended.
- Stir in mint, salt and pepper.

NORWALK — Narbonne has taken the momentum away from Centennial and made this a game, with the Huskies leading just 27-22 going into the fourth quarter.
Narbonne quarterback Troy Williams, playing with a shoulder injury, hit A.J. Richardson with an 11-yard scoring pass — after turning a near sack into a 31-yard gain earlier in the drive — and then dashed for a 27-yard touchdown run with a minute and a half left in the third quarter.
Centennial had a chance to bury the Gauchos, but Austin Remken fumbled at the 1-yard line early in the quarter, and the momentum seemed to shift from there.

News: 50 Cent's "Before I Self Destruct" Locks In New Release Date
Thursday, Sep 10, 2009 12:00PM
50 Cent's long-awaited Before I Self Destruct album will reportedly land in stores around mid-November, nearly a year after its original release date.
According to new reports, the project has secured a drop date.
50 Cent?s oft-delayed album Before I Self Destruct is closing in on its destruction date. The rapper will release his fourth studio album on November 17, Rap-Up.com has learned. The project, his last of original material for Interscope, has been delayed several times since last year. (Rap-Up)
Fif recenty explained his thoughts on the overall project and said it would not drop at the end of September as previous reports speculated.
"My new album, I'm really excited about it," Fif said in an interview. "I had an opportunity to make it and then re-make it. I didn't have the time I was able to put in to, I was limited time to my other projects. In this one -- just because the system was in this kinda state of confusion with things changing, the music business itself changed. It was definitely periods where I felt I was ready and it wasn't a possibility for me to release the record at that point and then the Eminem train came running down the track and I had to get outta the way to let the Eminem record go out and then because he had been off for two years, it made good sense for me to just let him come out first. My new album, it should be out in early November. First week of November. Because I had additional time, I wrote, produced and directed my own film, Before I Self Destruct and it'll actually be within the album's packaging. So when you buy the record, you'll get the film that I wrote." (Coke Live Festival)
Mobb Deep's Havoc said he was able to produce at least one record for the album earlier this summer.
"I try [to do my best production with 50]," he said in an interview earlier this summer. "Yeah, I got a record on [Before I Self Destruct]. I wanted a little bit more on there, but the one I got on there is nice. It's just that, you know, crazy for me working with a lot of different artists." (Peter Rosenberg Late Show)
Prior to the release, 50 will be featured on an upcoming VH1 "Behind The Music" special next month.
Jamaica Queen's finest 50 Cent tells his story on October 13. 50 relays the infamous near death experience that left him riddled with nine bullets and his contentious beginnings as a hustler on New York street corners. He contrasts those experiences with the enormous success of his albums, Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre and achievements of his G Unit Empire. (Hip Hop Wired)

I made this simple shelving unit for inside my son's wardrobe.
I was going to use MDF but knew I would rather work with timber, even if it is only pine. I milled the stock from some lengths of 2×8. Box joints on top cut with a router jig, simple dados for the shelves and a couple of drawer runners out of some hardwood offcuts to house a wire drawer for his socks and jocks, no metal fasteners.
It was a quick and practical project and I'm happy that it all came together fast and square. The finish is danish oil and wipe-on poly.
