Yam Glorious Yam
Yam Eaten Everywhere
The yam (Dioscorea sp.) is an edible root crop that is mainly grown in the tropics. The tuber forms a major component in the diet of millions of the worlds population in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific and the Caribbean as a source of digestible carbohydrate. There are over 24 cultivars of yams grown in Jamaica, belonging to five species, namely: white yams, soft yam, yellow yam, yampie, and Chinese yam. There are also the non-edible yams which are referred to as wild yams. They are usually found in the wild and grow mainly in the limestone regions of the island. The main use of yam is as food, usually eaten boiled or roasted. The nutrient content of the tuber is 50-85 % starch, 3-8% protein, 2-5% fiber, 2-7 % ash, and 0.2-0.7% fat of the dry tuber. Starch is the major carbohydrate reserve in yam tubers. It is occurs as a tasteless, odorless, fine white powder in its dried extracted form. Despite its high carbohydrate content, mainly in the form of starch, yam is not listed among the most common sources of industrial starch which is primarily obtained from corn, potato, wheat, tapioca and rice. This is primarily due to the lack of adequate information on the properties, suitability and functionality in its products..
Need for Industrial Exploitation of Yams
Over 100,000 tonnes of yams are produced annually in Jamaica (down from 200,000 tonnes in 2000). However only about 5 % is exported with losses of up to 40 % of the total production reported. These losses amounts to over US 20 million annually. This has significantly affected revenue generation in the agricultural sector, primarily farmers, exporters and processors. These losses are primarily due to the poor storageability of the yam tubers. However, the quantities and revenue lost during storage can be prevented if immediately after harvest their starches are extracted and used as ingredients in tablets, capsules, granules and other products. This could reduce the amount of yam that would normally be discarded or lost during storage, increase revenue generation and reduce the countrys demand for imported starches for use in pharmaceutical products. With this in mind the UWI researchers embarked on investigating the physicochemical properties of yam starches and their effectiveness as binders in paracetamol granules, tablets and capsules in a bid to stimulate industrial applications by local manufacturers, primarily in those in the pharmaceutical industry.
Properties such as granule size, shape, specific surface area, sensitivity to moisture, density, swelling power, purity, reactivity, porosity among others play an important role in the use and functionality of starches in finished pharmaceutical products. If the properties of starch from different plant sources are strikingly different, they may impact significantly on processing and product quality and may be a potential source of differences in brand/generic product performance or even in batch-to-batch and lotto- lot variation in the same product formulated with different starches. In addition, these differences in material properties may impact on the quality of starch products and their performance in dosage forms (pharmaceutical products). Paracetamol, one of the most popular analgesic (pain relief) and antipyretic (body temperature reduction) drug, is of poor aqueous solubility (1 in 70 parts of water, BP). Hence, its paediatric solution formulations invariably incorporate alcohol based co-solvents. Apart from the limited stability of aqueous drug products, recent demand by the paediatricians for alcohol-free paracetamol formulation has necessitated consideration of alternative dosage formulation. Presently, no commercial paracetamol granule for reconstitution appears to be on the market, especially in the tropics where extremes of climatic conditions could compromise shelf-stability of liquid preparations.
Starches from five local cultivars namely; Round leaf yellow yam (RY), Sweet yam (SY), Negro yam (NY), Chinese yam (CY) and Bitter yam (BY) were extracted, purified and their physical and chemical properties evaluated. The starches were then incorporated as binders in pediatric granules for reconstitution using paracetamol as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (paracetamol [2.5 % w/w], starch [2.5 and 10 % w/w] and sucrose [20 % w/w]) and rate of paracetamol release determined in vitro (outside a host). British Pharmacopeia corn starch (CS) was used as the control binder. The physicochemical properties of the yam starches were found to be dependent on the botanic (plant species) source with identifiable differences observed among the cultivars studied. Apart from the potential effects of these properties on processability, consistency of content and physical characteristics of pharmaceutical products, reasonable correlations were established between these properties and the rate of paracetamol release. Properties such as starch granule size, surface tension, specific surface area and viscosity are positively correlated with the rate of paracetamol release. The dissolution of paracetamol from granules formulated with different yam starches is significantly affected by the properties of the starches and the concentration used as binder. Granules formulated with starch from CY and BY have faster rate of paracetamol dissolution when used as binders compared to those formulated with RY, NY, SY and official corn starch. Paracematol granules formulated with Chinese yam and Bitter yam starches had dissolution times of 2.2 minutes and 2.6 minutes respectively at a starch concentration of 2.5 % compared to that with corn starch (4.55 minutes). This indicates that tablets and granules formulated with Chinese yam and Bitter yam starches could release the active ingredient twice as fast as those containing official corn starch leading to faster relief from the condition being treated for. Hence, careful consideration of starch botanic source in starch binder selection is essential in order to obtain the required drug dissolution rate while preserving other desirable physical properties of the granules.
The work presented will have far reaching impact on stakeholders in the agricultural sector, the pharmaceutical industry and consumers of pharmaceuticals.

We're learning more about the firefighters who bravely responded to a massive fire at the West Fertilizer plant and lost their lives in the explosion. FOX4 has learned four victims have been identified as firefighters. One of them is from North Texas.
Perry Calvin worked as a volunteer firefighter from Frost in Navarro County. He worked alongside his father who's the fire chief there.
Captain Kenny Harris was a member of Dallas Fire Rescue, Station 30. He was in West with his family and responded to the fire on his own.
It's being reported there was an intense smell of ammonia before the fire and explosion.
West Volunteer Fire Department members quickly responded to alarms from the plant. They went inside to rescue the people right before the whole building blew up. A cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
Bill Warren is a 32-year resident of West. He was one of hundreds who helped senior citizens escape a nursing home located near the plant. As a veteran of the Vietnam War, the scene brought back horrible memories.
"I saw people lose their lives. It brought it back yesterday. It brought it back. Working in that football field seeing these people all bloody and mangled you know and it brought it all back," said Bill Warren.
"It' shocking. People died that I knew," Warren said. "People died that I associated with. Not only personally but on a business level and to me it's devastating."
Sources close to FOX4 and West Mayor Tommy Muska report as many as 40 people are dead or unaccounted for.

After a slow start, the Philadelphia Eagles pulled ahead of the New York Jets on their first time out on defense. The Jets started to drive down the field, with Shone Green rushing for six yards, 12 yards and 13 yards. At that point, quarterback Mark Sanchez completed a pass to Santonio Holmes for seven yards, but he fumbled the ball.
Juqua Parker rushed in, scooped up the ball and took it back 47 yards for a touchdown. The replay assistant challenge the play, and it was upheld - the fumble came out shortly after he caught the ball, before hitting the ground. So the touchdown was good, giving Philadelphia the 7-0 lead following the extra point. Here's video of the return, below.
The Jets did manage to get things swinging back in their favor on the next drive, when they were forced to punt, and Curtis Marsh muffed the return for the Eagles, setting up a Jets fumble recovery.

Business Objects 4.0 follows major BI upgrades delivered by IBM and Oracle within the past year.
Vendors are keen to strengthen their BI portfolios, since the software has continued to sell despite the global economic downturn, as enterprises seek competitive advantage and deeper insights into their business.
Larger BI vendors like SAP, Oracle and IBM are competing on every aspect of the BI stack, which can be decomposed into scores of components, from ETL (extract, transform and load) tools for collecting data, all the way to reporting and analytics, Forrester's Evelson said in an interview this week.
"The point is, not everyone can do everything," he said.
However, companies that are heavily standardized on application and database products from vendors such as SAP or Oracle "have very little reason" to look beyond those companies for BI tools, Evelson said.
But for companies with highly heterogenous environments or the desire for advanced capabilities like predictive modeling, "the choices are very, very wide," he said.
As for existing Business Objects customers, the move to 4.0 should not entail any changes to licensing, Weisbeck said during a question-and-answer session.
SAP customers will also get a taste of the release's capabilities in the next "enhancement pack" for the Business Suite ERP (enterprise resource planning) platform, which will include embedded dashboards and reports built on 4.0, Weisbeck said.
Also Wednesday, SAP announced six new industry-specific BI applications, which are based on the current 3.1 release. The next wave of industry applications will be created on 4.0, an official said.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
See the highlights and landmarks of Salvador, Brazil's third largest city, including its historical churches, vibrant neighborhoods, and largest handicraft market.
Depart from the pier and begin driving along the picturesque shoreline of Salvador, the first colonial capital of Brazil and one of the oldest cities in the Americas. After approximately ninety minutes, you will arrive at Sacred Hill, atop which sits the 18th-century Bonfim (meaning "good ending") Church, a pilgrimage site because of its reputation for granting miracles. Be sure to notice that parts of the façade are covered with Portuguese majolica earthenware.
Continuing on, you will be treated to a panoramic view of the artificial lagoon in Dique do Tororo Park. The eight enormous sculptures of deities floating on the water's surface are a rather unexpected and enthralling sight. More revealing aspects of Salvador will be seen driving through the bohemian beach district of Rio Vermelho and the beautiful Ondina district. Eventually, you will stop for photos at the imposing Farol da Barra lighthouse, built on top of a 16th-century fortification that is now a museum.
Then, after admiring a sweeping view of All Saints Bay, it's on to Mercado Modelo. This sprawling marketplace offers more than 250 shops, most of them filled with arts and crafts that are characteristic of the region. You will have approximately fifty minutes of free time here in which to browse the shops. Some of the items available here are lacework, jewelry, leather goods, paintings and religious objects, some relating to Catholicism, others to the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé. Following your market stop, you will rejoin your coach and return to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 30 minutes of walking, plus any additional walking at the guests' discretion during free time at the market. There will be some cobblestone surfaces to negotiate. The tour is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability.

Common Ground: Advancing Agriculture in Hawai'i
(page 5 of 7)
Agriculture & Energy
Growing alternatives to fossil fuels.
By Jennifer Sudick
A cluster of jatropha, a plant grown to produce biofuel.
Gaining the interest of business investors, scientists and consumers, biofuels are one of the hottest areas in the energy industry. Biofuels can be made from anything from used vegetable oil, to algae, to plants such as jatropha. This oily-seeded plant is in fact being grown commercially on the Big Island to be turned into biofuel.
Research in the field of biofuels is strong in Hawai'i, says CTAHR's Dr. Andrew Hashimoto, professor in Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering and part of a team working on biofuel research.
"In a relatively small area we can test a lot of energy crops in different environments," says Hashimoto. "We have that ability to test crops in diverse microenvironments, extract the information and be able to project how crops will grow in other areas of the world."
That research has shown that Hawai'i can produce three to four more times biomass feedstock per acre than the Mainland U.S. While Hashimoto estimates that these biofuel crops could eventually account for up to 25 percent of Hawai'i's total energy needs, the state's primary contribution to the advancement of biofuels will likely be centered in research and development, not production.
"Hawai'i is going to be a player in that we will find opportunities to produce fuel, but we don't have a lot of land area," he explains. "The other issue is how this fits in when you talk about the whole gamut of policy issues—balancing food, fuel and green space. We try to position ourselves based on the competitive advantages we have, such as diverse bio-environments and the ability to look at a lot of different crops that aren't being looked at in the contiguous U.S."
Hashimoto's team, as well as government agencies, organizations and businesses, are all contributing to Hawai'i's advancements in the technology, research and production of biofuels.
Military Usage
In August, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Navy announced an investment of up to $510 million during the next three years in partnership with the private sector to produce advanced drop-in biofuel—fuel that does not require engine modification—to power military and commercial transportation. The USDA highlights the region covering Hawai'i as important for the research of energy cane, sweet sorghum and other subtropical/tropical perennial grasses, as well as wood biomass, particularly in small-farm production systems.
This summer, the U.S. Navy will use 450,000 gallons of fuel from the largest government purchase of biofuel to date in a demonstration of a new "Green Strike Force" in this summer's Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC) in Hawai'i. It is part of a larger mission by the Navy to have half of its energy consumption come from non-fossil fuels by 2020.
Renewable Energy
In 2008, petroleum provided nearly 85 percent of the total energy consumed in Hawai'i, compared with the national statewide average of 37.5 percent, according to a 2011 Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) economic report outlining the state's renewable energy industry. The report, which notes that "clean, locally developed renewable energy will, in the long run, boost Hawai'i's economy," says that Hawai'i is the most vulnerable state in the U.S. to disruptions in world oil markets, with fluctuations in oil prices significantly affecting the economy.
James Spaeth, senior advisor, Pacific Region, of the U.S. Department of Energy, works with the state on the Hawai'i Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI), launched in 2008 to help Hawai'i become a 70-percent clean energy economy by 2030.
CTAHR's Dr. Andrew Hashimoto, professor in Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering, examines energy crop trials underway at Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Co. (HC&S). Also shown is Lee Jakeway, director of energy development at HC&S., Dr. Richard Ogoshi, CTAHR, and Dr. Tim Eggeman, chief technology officer of ZeaChem.
"Certainly there is an opportunity for biofuels in the electric sector, and in the ground transportation sector, as well as with long-term military and commercial aviation to offset for the use of jet fuel," Spaeth says. "The
market demand is almost unlimited."
The state is looking to areas such as algae, jatropha and camelina oil, which can also be used as aviation fuel. Ultimately, Spaeth says, those crops need to be harvested in Hawai'i.
"It is not advantageous to be shipping biofuels from the Mainland," he says. "To ship in expensive biofuels is not the way to go about the long-term solution." The HCEI highlights the need to support Hawai'i biofuel development by investing in key logistical infrastructure and fuel-processing facilities.
"DBEDT has a list of renewable energy projects under development," says Mark Glick, the state's energy administrator. "There are roughly 75 projects we have listed based on a variety of factors. Biofuel is one of the areas of greatest concentration, so clearly developers and investors see this as a ripe opportunity."
Hawaiian Electric Company estimates that Hawai'i-sourced biofuels will take three to seven years to come to market in sufficient volume. Until then, the company plans to continue importing biofuels as needed, including from Iowa-based Renewable Energy Group, the largest biodiesel producer in the U.S. HECO recently signed agreements with Pacific Biodiesel, Hawai'i BioEnergy and Phycal for Hawai'i-sourced biofuels.
Maui-based Pacific Biodiesel, which will supply 250,000 gallons to power the planned 8-megawatt emergency power facility at the Honolulu International Airport starting in October, is building a Big Island plant in Kea'au that will have a capacity of more than 8,000 gallons of biofuel a day. The plant will process used cooking oils, jatropha oil, sunflower oil, algae oil and animal fats.
Kelly King, vice president of Pacific Biodiesel, notes, "The common argument has been that land is too expensive and oil is too cheap. Well, oil is not that cheap anymore."
Pacific Biodiesel is also working with the U.S. military under a $2.4 million grant to develop a biofuel crop production model incorporating oil-producing plants such as safflower, sunflower and camelina as part of the Military Biofuels Crop Demonstration Project on O'ahu. In November, the company was also honored with the 2011 Green Jobs Award, a national recognition from the nonprofit SJF Institute that highlights private businesses contributing to the economy and the environment.

The most important market for biofuel use in Hawai'i is transportation, King says, particularly for interisland barges. The fate of Hawai'i's biofuel industry rests in large part with government support, King says, including the passage this year of Hawai'i Senate Bill 772, which would amend the existing ethanol facility income tax credit to include other biofuel production and to enable larger facilities to be eligible for the tax incentive.
"It's not a matter of whether it is economically viable right now, but when it will be economically viable in the future," King says of biofuel production. "We have to start now. When fuel does get up to $10 a gallon, it is too late."
In 2011, HECO and Honolulu-based Hawai'i BioEnergy agreed on a 20-year contract to provide 10 million gallons per year of locally grown and processed biofuel for HECO's Kahe Generating Station, representing 4 percent of the plant's annual fuel use. The company, established by three of Hawai'i's largest landowners—Kamehameha Schools, Grove Farm Company, and Maui Land and Pineapple Company—would use sustainable energy crops grown on Kaua'i on underutilized Grove Farm land. The crops would be processed into biofuel on Kaua'i for shipment to O'ahu, the company said.
The contract, which is under review by the Hawai'i Public Utilities Commission (PUC) with input from the State Consumer Advocate, would begin within five years of PUC approval. Liquid biofuel would be created using high temperatures in the absence of oxygen to cause thermo-chemical decomposition of organic matter, HECO said.
Hawai'i BioEnergy is also working with San Diego-based General Atomics on a jet-fuel pilot project with micro-algae. The project now covers 33 acres of land.
The Economics
"In order to proceed there has to be the commitment for substantial investment, whether it is going to be the planting of crops or any kind of conversion facility," says Joel Matsunaga, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Hawai'i BioEnergy. "Like any form of agriculture, the crop has to be suitable for the land, and other resources available in the area. We match the crops for what is best suitable for the land keeping in mind to make sure that whatever crops we do select are in accordance with whatever rules are in place to make sure the crops are not invasive."
Stephanie Whalen, executive director of the Hawai'i Agriculture Research Center (HARC), said the organization began collecting germplasm (a collection of genetic resources for an organism) from around the world about five years ago to test the productivity of specific crops. HARC works with a variety of biofuel crops, including jatropha, sweet sorghum and energy cane.
Pongamia, a type of tree that produces seeds that can be turned into biofuel, is hardy enough to be growing in brackish water with no irrigation.
"Everyone is waiting for the economics," Whalen says. "The moment it can make money we will plant it, but the economics hasn't shown that the crops are good enough for someone to take the risk to plant. For a short-term crop, there is no processor, for a long-term crop, there is no idea what the yield is going to be. Everyone in agriculture knows that a crop for fuel only is not going to make it."
CTAHR's Dr. Charles Kinoshita is looking into the conversion of fibrous crops into ethanol and drop-in fuel. Kinoshita is part of a group, including Hashimoto, which has submitted a grant proposal to fund the study of taking fast-growing energy crops and grasses and converting them into fuel.
"I don't think the public wants to rely on ethanol, which has to be blended with gasoline," Kinoshita says. "The general public would like to see some sort of drop-in fuels."
"We would like to find species that can grow on marginal lands," he says. "That will get us away from the competition between food and fuels and use lands that don't have access to water."
Kinoshita also stressed the importance of identifying high-value byproducts in the process of creating biofuels. This would include everything from animal feed, on the low end of the spectrum, to plastics and industrial proteins on the high end. That would help produce the profit margin needed to make biofuels more economically viable, he says.
"In spite of the fact that we all complain about the high costs of gasoline and electricity, energy costs are still relatively low," he says. "We would like to see some valuable byproducts come out of this."
"There are technical issues as well as economic issues," Hashimoto says. "From a technology or scientific perspective, these are all doable, but how much do you have to pay to make this happen? Some of the options are not commercially competitive. You probably will not want the highest yield, but rather the highest yield with the minimum resource input. The economically viable yield is different from the maximum yield."

A family wants the driver of a hit-and-run that killed their loved one to come forward. Five members of the walker family had just left church when their vehicle was hit by an SUV.Tamika Walker was killed and four others were badly injured in the accident last July.The family had left church and they were on their way to the hospital to visit Walker's daughter when the crash occurred on I-75 in Henry County.Tamika's mother, Carolyn Walker, said her daughter was her best friend. Carolyn said that her daughter loved to sing with her church."The choir is not even the same...because she had such a beautiful voice," said Carolyn Walker.Tamika was with her mom, grandmother and two other family members when an SUV struck their vehicle and sent it airborne. The driver of the SUV never stopped.The Walker family was on their way to the hospital to see Tamika's daughter, 14-year-old Malika, who had an infection in her legs. Malika says she carries her mother's photo with her every day."She was a great person, had lots of friends," said Malika.It's been two months since the accident and there are still no signs of the driver who hit them."I hope they get caught," said Malika. "They took the person who I loved so much away from me."The others in the Walker vehicle were badly injured."I had four broken bones, and it's still not well...and then this leg got crushed and I couldn't walk," said Mattie Hambrick, Tamika's grandmother.While those wounds are beginning to heal, their heartbreak over the loss of Tamika is taking much longer."I miss her so much and at nighttime, I'll be laying in the bed and the next thing I know, it just comes over me and I lay in the bed and just cry until I feel better," said Hambrick.A musical benefit in memory of Tamika will be held this Saturday at Dodd Sterling UMC, located at 3272 Brownsmill Road in Atlanta. It begins at 5 p.m. All proceeds will go to help Tamika's family with their medical care and of to her 14-year-old daughter.

RALEIGH — Commuters will begin to feel the long pain of a three-year freeway repair project on Thursday morning, when they will find four lanes of Interstate 440 West traffic at the southeast corner of Raleighs Beltline squeezed into two lanes.
Drivers on this part of the outer Beltline will be pushed into the outside lane and the roadway shoulder, which will serve as a new second traffic lane during the construction project. The same change will take effect a few days later probably Monday morning on I-440 East, the inner Beltline.
This is not a short-term inconvenience. This corner of the busy Beltline will be reduced to two lanes each way, 24 hours a day, for the next year.
Road crews will spend the coming months ripping out the two inside lanes in each direction for three miles of I-440 between the I-40 split and the U.S. 64-264 interchange in East Raleigh. Theyll dig deep to remove deteriorating concrete pavement and then put down a new roadway.
Sometime next year, in either late spring or early summer, the inside lanes of I-440 will be finished, and the work will move to the outside lanes. Then will come more of the same, for two years, on the more heavily traveled I-40 Beltline section across South Raleigh.
Its a $130 million project to rebuild 11.5 miles of the southern Beltline. The southeast corner of the I-440 Beltline carries 91,000 cars and trucks each day. The lane reduction is expected to generate regular traffic backups, especially during rush hour.
DOT announced the lane closing schedule Tuesday. Upgraded bus service for commuters from Johnston County and eastern Wake County is scheduled to start Dec. 16.
And the state Board of Transportation is expected Thursday to approve a $55,000 study that will gauge the likely passenger demand based on the expected Beltline congestion for rush-hour trains that could take commuters from Selma to Raleigh, with stops in Clayton and Garner.
Fortify challenge ahead
DOT officials have been warning for months that this day would come. Now they hope drivers will find a way to avoid the new bottleneck. Theyre publishing their encouragement, along with construction updates and links to transit information, on websites for the dreary repair job they have branded with an upbeat name: Fortify.
We encourage motorists to use the Fortify website, to friend us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, to begin considering those alternative work schedules and transit options, and other options that are available to take motorists off this section of I-440 and help us reduce congestion once these lane closures are in place, said Dennis Jernigan, who oversees construction for the Department of Transportation in Wake and neighboring counties in DOTs Division Five.
Commuters, truckers and other drivers are being urged to find alternate routes and other options and that means extra traffic will shift onto other major commuter roads including U.S. 70, New Bern Avenue, the northern I-440 Beltline and the northern 540 Outer Loop.
Similar construction and lane closings are planned for the I-40 portion of the Beltline across South Raleigh starting in December 2014 and continuing for two more years until the end of 2016. Parts of this freeway have four to five lanes each way to carry as many as 130,000 vehicles a day, and the expected traffic impacts will be worse there than on I-440.
But I-40 drivers will notice the I-440 lane closings that start this month, too. Where traffic on I-40, both westbound and eastbound, now has two lanes to enter I-440 West, that will be reduced to one lane each way. That could cause slowdowns for I-40 drivers approaching I-440 from both directions. Jernigan said he didnt think it would be a big problem.
We dont anticipate that the work on I-440 is going to cause a significant backup on I-40, he said.
Studying commuter trains
DOT officials raised the prospect last year of starting rush-hour train service to help some Johnston County commuters avoid the Beltline construction jam. Now DOT is going to use a regional traffic computer model to estimate how many commuters would opt for the trains and how much they would pay to help finance the service.
The trains would use N.C. Railroad tracks and the existing Amtrak stations in Raleigh and Selma, stopping at temporary stations in Clayton and Garner.
This is a DOT initiative to try and mitigate this major congestion problem that we all face regarding the Raleigh Beltline project, said Scott Saylor, president of the N.C. Railroad, a private company owned by the state. Its going to be a major topic in the region for several years. So we are supportive of looking for solutions to that traffic issue, whatever they may be.
If the study shows promising numbers, a lot of things would have to work out right in a relatively short time in order to start the trains running while the construction project is still going and theyre still needed, said Paul Worley, the DOT Rail Division director.
DOT would have to come to terms with the N.C. Railroad and Norfolk Southern Railroad, which leases the tracks for freight service and find a way to pay for it. Amtrak runs four passenger trains between Raleigh and Selma each day, and Norfolk Southern runs five to eight freight trains.
We dont want to get peoples hopes up about this, Worley said. It would be way too early to say were optimistic or to say were proposing commuter rail service.

The Half-life series revolutionized gaming itself. Arguably the most famous and well-made games by Valve, these classics will live on for many decades. Many people consider Half-Life 2 to be the best PC game of all time. And this game deserves to have it called that.
This FPS is not a plain, boring new Call of Duty, this game is unique and has amazing graphics and gameplay for the time.
This Half-life Complete pack is absolutely brilliant and deserves your time and money. I highly recommend to purchase this.

Action game series Half-Life takes place in the near future. The main character is Gordon Freeman cycle , theoretical physicist engaged in a secret research center Black Messa , where during one of the failed experiments is accidentally made kasakada resonance . The effect of open portals to the world of Xen , inhabited by an aggressive alien race who are trying to get to the Earth. The story of the first part of the cycle focuses on trying to get out of the complex research , and opponents of the protagonist are both aliens and Marines who are trying to prevent the escape of the resort . In a continuation of events take place several years later, and Freeman again must confront a stranger who had invaded the futuristic metropolis City 17
Initially, the game series Half-Life engine GoldScr exploit the opportunities , which is a modified version of the Quake Engine. The real jump in quality visuals ensured , however, only applies much more modern technology Source , which was first used in Half -Life 2, and then also in the original Half-Life ( Half-Life : Source ) .
One of the curiosities on the Half-Life series is the silence of the protagonist . In any games Gordon Freeman does not speak a word of what happened to the subject of many jokes popular among players . Why this introduction? Because it is one of the best in terms of production plot. Really, this game does not count artwork and just playability! Older players will understand and manage it to them just the same statement . Take it if you do not. Really worth it!

What do you think is the most important issue the President should focus on in 2013?
Thousands of high school students across the country had the opportunity to answer that question by producing a short documentary for C-SPAN's national 2013 StudentCam competition.
Cedar Falls High School seniors Josh Thompson and Julie Doyle focused on small business growth.
They began working on their project in September and ended up winning third place in C-SPAN's competition.
"We decided to focus on small business growth because it was an issue that didn't get too much attention on a larger scale, but did get some so it was kind of a hot topic," said Thompson.
Thompson and Doyle spent several months interviewing area lawmakers and small business owners in Cedar Falls.
But the project didn't come without its challenges.
"Our video camera decided to delete a lot of our footage or mess up some of the audio quality. That was a big frustration," said Doyle.
Despite a few technological problems, the two were pleased with the end product and their $750 cash prize.
Both said they'll use the money for college.
Their video is scheduled to air on C-SPAN this Monday, April 8, at 5:50 a.m.
Additionally, Richard Uhlenhopp, a senior at Aplington-Parkersburg High School, earned an honorable mention for his submission about the Farm Bill.

A Contract Means Harmony in Cincinnati
With major American orchestra contracts under negotiation, can portents be read in the settlement reached Sunday night between the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra trustees and the Cincinnati Musicians Association? Under the new three-year agreement running through Sept. 9, 2007, wages will be frozen in the first two years and rise 2.4 percent in the third. The number of full-time orchestra members will be reduced through attrition to 92, from 99. The musicians will receive an additional week of vacation, bringing the total to eight weeks each year. A renegotiated health plan will raise the musicians' co-payments and deductibles and save the orchestra 11 percent a year in premium costs. The minimum weekly scale for musicians this season, $1,725, will rise to $1,750 and $1,800 in the course of the 2006-07 season. Paavo Jarvi, above, music director of the orchestra, expressed gratitude to the musicians and management for reaching agreement. Contracts with major orchestras in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Cleveland have expired.
Dispute Over Anne Frank
Should Anne Frank be granted Dutch citizenship? That was the issue at the heart of a debate in and out of government in the Netherlands yesterday after a television channel listed her among 202 candidates in a popular vote to determine history's greatest Dutch person, The Associated Press reported. Members of Parliament campaigned during the weekend to grant posthumous citizenship to Frank, below, the German-born World War II diarist who perished as a stateless teenager in the Holocaust after 25 months in hiding in Amsterdam. But Rita Verdonk, the immigration minister, said there was no provision in the law to do so. Some historians and keepers of the Frank legacy argued that making her a citizen would not change her place in history and could denigrate other refugees by depriving them of recognition. Frank, born in Germany in 1929, came to the Netherlands with her family as a Jewish refugee in 1933 and kept her diary before she was captured and died in a concentration camp at 15 just before the end of the war.
The German architect and structural engineer Frei Otto, 79, has won this year's Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, The Guardian of London reported. His ultramodern, superlight buildings include the Japanese pavilion designed with Shigeru Ban for the 2000 Hanover Expo in Germany and the West German pavilion, designed with Rolf Gutbrod, at the Montreal Expo of 1967. The award is presented by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Twenty-three teams from 10 countries recently competed at the International Field Robot event held during the DLG Field Days. This international competition brings international student teams and their autonomous field robots to Bernburg-Strenzfeld, Germany, to compete in five assigned tasks.
Started in 2003 by the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands, the goal of the competition is to test new technologies in robotics and precision farming under real-world conditions.
The DLG (German Agricultural Society) Field Days 2014, held recently at the DLG Crop Protection Center at Bernberg-Strenzfeld, Germany, showcased many new innovations in crop production for German, and European, producers in attendance.

Narrow vision of labor's needsJuly 08,2014Could the VSEAs vision of organized labor as expressed by Steve Howard be any tinier? How about concerning themselves with employee issues such as mobility, flexibility, supporting family responsibilities, telecommuting to expand the available applicant pool, education, training, pay equity. When VSEA stops spending so much time and resource in maintaining incompetent and mediocre employees, and starts returning value to the taxpayers, then the taxpayers will elect pro-union legislators. As a former state employee and VSEA member, I have walked long distances to get to my workplace and have had to cope with blazing hot and freezing cold buildings. Compared to the issues facing Vermonters today, Id be ashamed to identify those as major concerns to define my organization and membership.

King spoke to PM and Chancellor about UK strategy
We're only a week away from the Budget and traditionally the Governor doesn't ever comment on Government policy but he revealed that had spoken in the past few days to the Chancellor and Prime Minister.
I asked if he had once again raised supply side measures, things that the Government can do to make the economy more competitive.
I've have had conversations with the Chancellor and Prime Minister about the strategy and we talked privately about various things that can be done. It is not my job, and it would be quite wrong of me to speak in public about things that is their responsibility.
But I am confident that there are things the UK could do and I'm very confident the Government understands that.
I think that ratchets up the pressure on the Chancellor a little bit.
Back here in the West Midlands, the main message is that business is tough but there is growth and it's abroad.

IKEA Appoints McCann As Global Agency of Record for IKEA.com
October 27, 2011
New York, October 27, 2011- IKEA, named Advertiser of the Year at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, today announced the appointment of McCann as the global agency of record for IKEA.com following a competitive review. This appointment marks the second global IKEA assignment for McCann this year. In August, IKEA named McCann as global agency of record for the iconic IKEA catalog, with a remit to enhance the catalog with technology and storytelling. Prior to these assignments, IKEA had never appointed a global agency of record for any aspect of their marketing communications.
McCann will be responsible for rethinking and redesigning the IKEA.com site and user experience on a global scale, and will work closely with IKEA's in-house digital team based at IKEA offices in Helsingborg and Älmhult, Sweden.
"McCann understands our business and our culture," said Lena Simonsson Berge, Head of Global Communications for IKEA. "This fact, combined with their digital and storytelling capabilities, makes them the perfect choice for this critical assignment."
McCann has made a significant investment in digital in recent months, adding developers, technologists, UX and IA specialists, designers, social strategists and digital project managers alongside critical hires such as Vice Chairman and Executive Creative Director Andreas Dahlqvist, Global Chief Innovation Officer Matt Freeman, Executive Creative Director Natalie Lam, EVP of Innovation Tim Harris and Mark Fallows, who leads the Creative Technology Group. This appointment marks a new chapter in McCann's transformation story, with digital now firmly at the core of its offering.
Linus Karlsson, Chief Creative Officer of McCann NY and London said, "IKEA is one of the world's best brands with a shopping experience that is unmatched. A trip to the IKEA store is an adventure and it is a step into the story of IKEA. That kind of experience needs to exist wherever the consumer encounters the brand. We have been working to infuse the catalogue with new ways to engage with the IKEA story. We will now bring that same experience to the one's online and mobile life."

On Thursday, August 21st the College of Humanities & Social Sciences is holding its annual Back to School Retreat for all fulltime faculty and staff up at the Wasatch Campus in Heber City. The retreat begins at 8:30 with a continental breakfast. Departments then get a chance to break away and have some time for planning. During the break for lunch we will have visitors from all over campus come speak with us about how they can help, and we will provide a photographer if you are looking to update your professional page. The afternoon offers another opportunity for department break outs.
The Wasatch Campus is located along Highway 40 just north of Heber City. Click here for directions. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues before the start of the school year, and the views from campus are always worth the drive.

It was 1973 when 13-year-old Rose Marie Levandoski was kidnapped from school in Harrison County. Just two years later, 16-year-old Janie Sanders was kidnapped walking home from school in Pascagoula. Both teens were later found dead and no one has ever served time for their murders.
While investigators do not know if these cases are connected, they do know there are similarities.
"We know that criminals will cross county lines for sure," Pascagoula Detective Darren Versiga said, "and sometimes, because of our distances, we don't have all the information where a crime has been committed in say Biloxi, may not get to Jackson County."
The Harrison County Sheriff's Department hosts meetings once every other month for investigators to talk about cases and share resources.
"We do this every so often to develop these similarities because there are a lot of similarities in these cases," Harrison County Sgt. Coley Judy said.
Detectives with six different agencies have been coming to the meetings and the goal is to get even more involved.
"It's just a whole lot better atmosphere when you have everybody on board and don't just have one agency working different cases," Versiga said. "You have bunch of agencies pulling together. They have different contacts and all those contacts ultimately help each one of law enforcers perform our job."
With new suspects to look at and new evidence to investigate, these men and women are hopeful they can close some cases.
"We want to find closure for these victims' families," Sgt. Judy said.
Investigators also want killers off the streets and behind bars.
