State Fair Photo Slide Show: First Day of September! | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The State Fair has come full circle. By that, I mean the cool, comfortable weather that started on opening day is back! In between, we had a stretch of hot and humid days, the likes of which we should not see rerturn anytime soon. The rest of the 2010 Great Minnesota Get-together will feel like Fall.
Some highlights on Wednesday afternoon at the KSTP fair building included Weird Al Yankovic and a surprise marriage proposal on Twin Cities Live. I'm a Weird Al fan, so it was great to see that the night's big Grandstand Act took some time to say hello to Elizabeth and John! And in case you're wondering, the woman that recieved a proposal on live TV did say "yes!"
Megan and I held down the fort at 4:30 and Leah, Bill, and Dave took the reins at 5. It's always such fun to meet our viewers at the Fair! Let's do it again Thursday!

The Mumbai Crime Branch on Saturday arrested Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Abu Jundal alias Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari on charges of involvement in the November 26, 2008 terror attack in Mumbai. The additional chief metropolitan magistrate granted his custody to the Crime Branch till July 31.
"Abu Jundal is a prime key conspirator in the terror attack case of 26/11. We have voluminous evidence against him. He was in Pakistan in the special control room during the attack which had the involvement of the state actors there," Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told the court here on Saturday.
He said Jundal's role has turned out to be much larger than what was expected earlier. "[Ajmal] Kasab has already named Jundal in his confession. He has also named him during the interrogation. We would like to confront Jundal with Kasab and find out more about his links with other persons," Mr. Nikam said.
"The Bombay High Court has ruled that the 26/11 terror attack was waging war against India. We have witnesses, documents. We would like to unearth further deep-rooted criminal conspiracy," he said, seeking 14 days' custody of the accused.
Jundal has been arrested under various Sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. "Fourteen days' custody is fully justified as 166 persons were mercilessly killed. We want to find out why he participated in the conspiracy, how he got the support, who supported him, how he went to Pakistan," Mr. Nikam said.
He said that technically, Jundal has been arrested in the case of firing at Vinoli chowpatty where Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the attack, was nabbed by the police.
Earlier in the day, Jundal was brought to the court at 11 a.m. and taken to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's court by the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which was allowed to take his custody on Friday by a Delhi court.
After the ATS told the Mumbai Esplanade court on Saturday that it did not have any objection to the Mumbai Crime Branch interrogating Jundal first, the court granted his custody to the Crime Branch.
The Mumbai Crime Branch is likely to conduct a voice spectrometry test on Jundal to ascertain if his voice matches with the recorded samples of those who were present in the Karachi control room during the 26/11 terror attack. "If it matches, then it will imply that Pakistan was involved in the 26/11 attack," a senior police officer said.
He said the police would investigate all the details about Jundal, [such as] his birthplace, the places he visited, studied in, or the places where he may have been indoctrinated.
Jundal's name has figured in four prominent terror-related cases in Maharashtra. While the Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested him in the 26/11 case, the Mumbai ATS will later seek his custody for interrogation over his alleged involvement in the 2010 German Bakery blast, the attack on the Nashik Academy and the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Crime Branch, where Jundal will be interrogated over the next few days, has turned into a fortress. "We have secured the entire area with guards, Quick Response Team personnel. Due to security concerns, his medical examination too will be conducted in the Crime Branch," Himanshu Roy, Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), said here on Saturday.
The police have formed special teams to go into various aspects of the investigation. "Teams have been formed for security, administrative arrangement and the investigation purposes. Three teams have been formed to look into the investigation. One team will comprise special officers for interrogation, the other team will do the paperwork while a third team is on standby to do any outstation investigation," Mr. Roy said.

This is an area I've wanted to work on for some time. That pole in the middle has live switchable power running to it so I'd like to utilize a fountain or small water feature (pond or something of the like that is appropriate for this area).
I've thought about doing some kind of patio with seating, a water element (or something using the power) and a firepit type area. Also if possible I wouldn't mind making flower beds or something around the two trees to add some needed horticulture color. The power line can be dug up and moved about anywhere between the trees. Also the area is roughly 20 feet between trees. Thanks for all ideas! |

Thanks for those pictures!! I got a lot of great ideas. I'll probably try to come up with something that is a little more contained between the trees but your pictures help. |

Visit to Syriac Monasteries: 8-12 October
In company with his fellow pilgrims, Abba Seraphim, travelled from the cold mountainous regions of north-eastern Turkey to the warm southern lowlands leading to the plan of Mesopotamia. Stopping briefly at the Kurdish city of Hasankeyf, on the Tigris, they spoke with local people who face eviction from their ancient and historic city when the hydro-electric Ilisu Dam is constructed. This controversial project has met much opposition, both locally and internationally, but the Turkish government has pushed ahead relentlessly and is already building a new city, to rehouse the population, on the opposite shore.
From here they travelled to Midyat, arriving at Mor Gabriel Monastery in time for tea. The entire party was warmly greeted by Mor Timotheos Samuel, the Archbishop of Tur Abdin since 1985. This was a return visit for several of the pilgrims but especially for Father Stephen Griffiths, who has been visiting regularly over the past sixteen years and now regards himself more as a member of the local community than a visitor. As members of the Tur Abdin Focus Group, Bishop Christopher of Southwark, Abba Seraphim and Father Stephen were able to discuss with Mor Timotheos the resolution of most of the claims on the monastery's lands and the general state of the churches and monasteries around Tur Abdin. Over the next two days the pilgrims visited the early fifth century Monastery of Mor Yakub at Saleh; the 6th century Yoldath Aloho (Mother of God) Church at Hah, the recently excavated sixth century Mor Sobo Basilica and the little churches of Mor Shmuel and the former monastery of SS. Sergius & Bacchus (789). They were welcomed to Hah by its mukhtar, Habib Doghan. On returning to Midyat they visited the restored Mor Abraham Monastery, where land behind it has been given by the church to serve as a camp for Syrian refugees. Whilst staying at Mor Gabriel, Abba Seraphim and the pilgrims attended the morning and evening offices in the main church as well as the celebration of the Divine Liturgy on 9 October.
Leaving the monastery on the morning of 10 October they drove to the ancient monastery of Mor Augin, high up in the steep cliffs of Mount Islo, with its wonderful views across the Plain of Nusaybin. This had previously been deserted, but was re-opened in 2011 and now has three monks living there. It was wonderful to see this revival of the monastic life after an interruption of almost forty years. Descending to the plain the pilgrims drove to the bustling town of Nusaybin (the ancient Nisibis), some 10 km from the Syrian border. Recent archaeological excavations in the city centre have revealed a number of ancient buildings, including the Mar Yakub Church, the centre of the famous Syrian Theological School, founded by St. James of Nisibis in 350, whose sarcophagus still stands today in the crypt.
The party arrived at Deyrelzafaran (the Saffron) monastery, outside Mardin, on 10 October. Bishop Philoxenus had left that morning for a meeting abroad, but they were well received by Chorepiscopus Gabriyel Akyűz, the distinguished Syriac historian, author and poet. The historic monastery had been the seat of the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchs of Antioch from 1293-1932 and it is no secret that the Turkish government would like the Patriarch to leave Damascus and relocate back in Turkey. Although there are one monk and a nun, living with Bishop Philoxenus at the monastery, it is a well known tourist attraction and there are always many visitors from both Turkey and abroad. Whilst morning and evening prayers are maintained, it is not a fully functioning monastery as at Mor Gabriel and Mor Augin.
The following morning, Bishop Christopher celebrated an Anglican Eucharist in the main chapel at the monastery, which Abba Seraphim and Archimandrite Deiniol both attended. After that Father Gabiyel warmly received the pilgrims in the Forty Martyrs Church in Mardin (originally dedicated to Mor Behnam and Saro) in 569 and entertained them to tea in the former Patriarchal Residence in Mardin. From there they toured the Bazaar, the Museum (formerly the Syrian Catholic Patriarchate) and the Chaldean Catholic Church of Mor Hűrműzd.
They returned to London on 12 October.
Historic visit of H.H. The Catholicos of the East
The recent visit of His Holiness Mar Basilius Mar Thoma Paulose II, Catholicos of the East, to England, was not only a great blessing for the Indian (Malankara) Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom but also a significant ecumenical event. His visit marked a number of historic anniversaries: 80 years since the first celebration of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Qurbana in the Chapel of King's College, London; 75 years since H.H.The Catholicos, Mar Baselios Geeverghese II visited the UK in 1937; 60 years since the Malayalee migration to the UK and 40 years since the formation of the St. Gregorios Congregation in London.
Abba Seraphim, accompanied by Subdeacon Daniel Malyon and Reader Trevor Maskery, attended the Divine Liturgy celebrated by the Catholicos at St. Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church in Brockley on Sunday, 8 September, and assisted in the liturgical celebration and the parochial speeches and festivities which followed.
On Monday, 9 September a Banquet of some 90 guests was held to honour the Catholicos at Lambeth Palace. In the absence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Gibraltar in Europe (The Right Rev. Geoffrey Rowell) and Southwark (The Right Rev. Christopher Chessum) acted as hosts. Representatives of all the major churches were present as well as many leading members of the Malayalee community in the UK and friends of the Indian Orthodox Church. The British Orthodox Church was represented by Abba Seraphim, Father Peter Farrington and Father & Mrs. Simon Smyth.
UK Oriental Orthodox Bishops lunch with new Archbishop
On 10 June the Most Rev'd Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, invited the episcopal members of the Council of Oriental Orthodox Churches to join him for lunch at Lambeth Palace. The bishops were warmly welcomed and Archbishop Justin assured of his commitment to the ongoing ecumenical dialogue, especially welcoming the resumption of the Anglican-Oriental Orthodox International Dialogue, which would be hosted in October by the Church of England. Over lunch a number of topics of common interest were discusse,d with especial concern expressed for events in the Middle East, and the Archbishop spoke of the need for continuing efforts and prayer for the release of the two kidnapped Orthodox Archbishops of Aleppo. The company was joined by the Bishops of Europe (The Right Rev'd Geoffrey Rowell) and Southwark (The Right Rev'd Christopher Chessum).

Half-Yearly Anglican-Oriental Orthodox Forum meets
On 16 July the Anglican-Oriental Orthodox Regional Forum held its half-yearly meeting at St. John's Church, Notting Hill. Chaired jointly by The Right Rev'd Geoffrey Rowell, Bishop of Europe, and His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church. This meeting had a very good attendance with the Anglican Bishops of Southwark and Reading also present as well as Metropolitan Seraphim (British Orthodox Church), Archbishop Athanasios Dawood (Syriac Orthodox Church) and Bishop Mathews Mar Thimothios (Malankara Orthodox Church) as well as other Anglican and Oriental Orthodox clergy who are members of the Forum. The Revd Roger Paul, National Adviser (Unity-in-Mission), Council for Christian Unity, spoke to the Forum about the role of the CCU and its relationship with AOORF. The main body of the meeting comprised detailed reports on the current situation of all the member churches churches with particular consideration of events in Egypt and Syria, as well as a report on the recent meeting of the General Synod of the Church of England.
Bishop Makarios visits the Eritrean Community in the UK
During a visit to the clergy and faithful of the new Eritrean Orthodox Diocese of Europe in the UK, His Grace met with Abba Seraphim in London. On 12 June following pastoral visits to his communities in Manchester and Birmingham, Bishop Makarios was greeted at Euston Station by Abba Seraphim who accompanied him to Southwark Cathedral, where they were welcomed by the Bishop of Southwark (The Right Rev'd Christopher Chessum). Accompanying Bishop Makarios were Father Teklemariam (Frankfurt) the likekahnat (hegumen) of the European diocese, Father Habtom Ftuwi (Manchester), Deacon John Gebrehewit (Manchester), Deacon Teklit Eyob (London), Deacon Habtom Tesfahuney (Birmingham) and Deacon Robel Fessahaye (Birmingham). After showing them some of the highlights of Southwark Cathedral, Bishop Christopher entertained his visitors to tea and discussed the issues related to the current situation of Christians in Eritrea. After an exchange of gifts, prayers were said for Eritrea and especially Patriarch Antonios in his imprisonment. The two bishops and their party joined Bishop Christopher at Choral Evensong, which was led by Canon Paul Saunders, the Sub-Deacon & Canon Pastor.
In the evening Abba Seraphim entertained Bishop Makarios and his clergy to supper at the Church Secretariat at Charlton, where they were joined by Subdeacon Daniel Malyon and James Carr. Bishop Makarios stayed overnight at the Secretariat.
On 13 June Abba Seraphim and Bishop Makarios and his party visited the Old Naval College at Greenwich, where they viewed the Painted Hall and the Chapel and were received by the Rev'd Jeremy Frost, the chaplain. In the afternoon they visited St. John's Church, Walham Green, Fulham, where they were welcomed by Father Mark Osborne, the priest-in-charge. On Saturday, 16 June Bishop Makarios will inaugurate Eritrean Orthodox worship in this church with a service commemorating Eritreans who have died in recent wars.
Bishop Makarios's visit followed his attendance at recent meetings of the Holy Synod in Cairo where he was recognised as the sole canonical representative of the Eritrean diaspora rather than the government controlled hierarchy in Asmara.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of ibrutinib to treat patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a significant advance for patients with this blood cancer. It was approved as a single agent for treatment of patients with MCL who have received at least one prior therapy.
Ibrutinib is the second drug with "breakthrough therapy designation" to receive FDA approval. Ibrutinib is a therapy that targets an enzyme, Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), which promotes growth of B-cell cancers, including MCL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM), follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and multiple myeloma.
"After the FDA earlier this year designated ibrutinib as a breakthrough therapy for patients with certain forms of blood cancers, we were all hopeful that it was only a matter of time before the therapy was approved to treat these patients, who have few good treatment options," said John Walter, president and CEO of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
LLS is eager to learn the outcome of FDA's ongoing review of ibrutinib for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM).
"Many patients with MCL and other B-cell cancers do not respond well to standard therapies and new treatments such as ibrutinib are urgently needed," said Louis J. DeGennaro, Ph.D., LLS chief mission officer. "LLS exists to find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients, and any new advance that brings the potential to help save more lives is good news."
LLS funding has supported clinical trials and laboratory studies of ibrutinib for patients with CLL, and more recently for patients with HCL. John C. Byrd, M.D.,

The China Diamond Exchange Centre, designed by Goettsch Partners (GP), has opened in Shanghai. Commissioned by Shanghai Lujiazui Development Co. Ltd., the 49,750 sq m office building is located on Century Avenue, the main boulevard in Shanghai's Pudong district, the city's modern financial and commercial hub.
The 15-storey building provides space for members of the China Diamond Exchange, as well as other related and speculative tenants. In addition to office space on the upper levels, the building includes retail on the ground floor and a second floor that features the elevator lobby, exhibition space and a restaurant.
The building is conceived as two rectangular office slabs connected by an atrium, with a large, 66- by 230-foot cable-supported net wall at each end. One tower is fully dedicated to the Diamond Exchange members and designed to provide them with secure transport from their below-grade parking spaces to their offices above. The adjacent tower serves the other tenants, with access through an open elevator tower in the centre of the atrium.
The major tenants' core business inspired the design, with diamond-shaped elements featured throughout. References are seen most prominently in the atrium's glass skylight, the structural geometry of the entry canopy, and the main lobby floor.
The color palette of black, grey and red dominates the building. The office slabs are treated in black, including the horizontal grille at the ends, which provides a surface that disguises the intakes and exhausts of the mechanical system.
The open elevator tower defines the focal point of the building, with three cabs traversing the atrium to sky bridges on each level that connect the two office blocks. The elevators' activity is not only visible from the lobby but also from outside, through the cable-supported net walls running the full height of the building.

Lucy C. Jacobs, Ph.D.
Would your students get the same scores if they took one of your tests on two different occasions? Would they get approximately the same scores if they took two different forms of one of your tests? These questions have to do with the consistency with which your classroom tests measure students' achievement. The generic name for consistency is reliability. Reliability is an essential characteristic of a good test, because if a test doesn't measure consistently (reliably), then one could not count on the scores resulting from a particular administration to be an accurate index of students' achievement. One wouldn't trust bathroom scales if the reading fluctuated according to the temperature or humidity or if the scales had a loose spring. Similarly, we can't trust the scores from our tests unless we know about the consistency with which they measure. Only to the extent that test scores are reliable can they be useful and fair to students.
Technically, reliability shows the extent to which test scores are free from errors of measurement. No classroom test is perfectly reliable because random errors operate to cause scores to vary or be inconsistent from time to time and situation to situation. The goal is to try to minimize these inevitable errors of measurement and thus increase reliability.
Sources of Error
What are some of the factors that introduce error into measurement?
(1) Item Sampling — Bacause any test is only a sample of all possible items, the item sample itself can be a source of error. Longer tests are typically more reliable because we get a better sample of the course content and students' performance. Suppose an instructor, to measure achievement of the unit in biology, gave a one-question test. Students who knew this one question would have perfect achievement, but students who didn't would fail. Obviously, a one-question test would not provide a reliable estimate of the students' knowledge. But as more and more questions were added, one would obtain a sample that better fits the unit of instruction and yields scores that more accurately reflect real differences in achievement. So by increasing the length of the test (the size of the sample) we increase the consistency of our measurement.
A longer test also tends to reduce the influence of chance factors such as guessing. If an instructor gave, say a ten-item multiple choice test, a student might know six of the items and guess at the other four. If the student happened to guess correctly, he/she would show perfect achievement. If the student happened to guess incorrectly, he/she would show 60 percent achievement. If that test, however, had 100 items, the student's correct guesses would be balance by incorrect guesses, and the score would be a more reliable indication of real knowledge.
There is a caveat at this point: Lengthening a test improves reliability only when the additional items are good quality and as reliable as the original ones. Adding poor quality items will actually induce error and lower reliability. Furthermore, there is a point of diminishing returns — if we add too many items, we risk student fatigue that will lower reliability.
(2) Construction of the Items — Another major threat to reliable measurement is poorly worded or ambiguous questions or trick questions. Consider the following simple examples:
1. What is the best index of reliability for the classroom teacher to use?
a. Split-half
b. Kuder-Richardson
c. Coefficient of stability
d. Coefficient of equivalence
e. Standard error of measurement
2. (true or false) Reliability of a test depends on its length.
3. Silas Marner was written by _____________________ .
For item 1, the correct answer would depend on what the instructor means by "best." "Best" could refer to ease of calculation, meaningfulness, or something else. Item 2 is ambiguous, and may be either true or false, depending upon the interpretation. In item 3, the answer "George Eliot" seems obvious, but the question is phrased in such a way that several other answers are technically correct: "Mary Ann Evans," "a woman," "1861," and "by hand."
Test questions that permit widely varying interpretations of what is expected are not likely to yield highly reliable scores.
(3) Test administration–Environmental factors such as heat, light, noise, confusing directions, and different testing time allowed to different students can affect students' scores, The more such factors interfere with a student's performance, the less faith we can have in the accuracy of the test scores.
(4) Scoring — Objectivity or the extent to which equally competent scores obtain the same score is a factor affecting reliability. An objective test is more reliable because the test scores reflect true differences in achievement among students and not the judgment and opinions of the scorer. Typically, essay tests have lower reliability than multiple choice tests because the subjectivity in scoring lowers reliability. This does not mean, however, that instructors should not use essay tests. There are things we can do to improve the reliability of essay tests.
(5) Difficulty of the Test–A test that is either too easy or too difficult for the class taking it will typically have low reliability. This occurs because the scores will be clustered together at either the high end or the low end of the scale, with small differences among students. Reliability is higher when the scores are spread out over the entire scale, showing real differences among students.
(6) Student Factors–Student fatigue, illness, or anxiety can induce error and lower reliability because they affect performance and keep a test from being a measure of their true ability or achievement.
Measures of Reliability
Reliability measures are concerned with determining the degree of inconsistency in scores due to random error. The calculation of reliability indices is beyond the scope of this discussion. The item analysis for objective tests that BEST provides to faculty includes three indices of reliability that BEST's Digitek Test Scoring and Item Analysis Program provides to faculty includes three indices of reliability. Two of these, the Spearman-Brown and the Kuder-Richardson, provide estimates of the extent to which students would receive similar scores if they were re-tested with an equivalent form of the test. The Spearman-Brown reflects consistency due to item sampling only. The Kuder-Richardson (K-R 20) measures consistency of responses to all the items within the test and reflects two error sources: item sampling and heterogeneity of the content domain sampled. Both of these indices report reliability as a coefficient ranging in size from 0.00 (no consistency) to 1.00 (perfect consistency). Obviously, the larger the coefficient, the better. The extent to which the coefficient falls below 1.00 is the extent to which errors of measurement are present.
Although it is not possible to obtain perfectly reliable scores in measuring classroom achievement, some instructors are able to construct tests that have reliability coefficients of 0.90 and above. We should strive to write tests that yield reliability coefficients of at least .70.
Another way to express reliability is in terms of the standard error of measurement. This measure provides an estimate of how much an individual's score would be expected to change on re-testing with the same or an equivalent form of the test. Based on the assumption that any test score contains an error component, the standard error of measurement is used to estimate a band or interval within which a person's true score would fall, that is the score (hypothetical) the student would receive if there were no error of measurement. Using an interval takes into account the fact that errors can result in a person's score on any test appearing higher or lower than it really should be.
For example, assume that Student A has a score of 82 on a test with a standard error of measurement equal to 4. We use the latter index to place a confidence band of +- one standard error of measurement around the observed score and say that we are 68% confident that the student's true score would be in that range (78 to 86), or we can say with 95% confidence that the student's true score lies in an interval within two standard errors of measurement of the observed score (between 74 and 90). An alternative interpretation states that 95 times out of 100 the student's score on a re-test would be between 74 and 90.
The standard error of measurement is very important because it alerts instructors to the fact that test scores are not exact, but that they always contain some error. Because of the imprecision of classroom measurement, test scores should be considered as an estimate of students' achievement level. How good an estimate depends on the magnitude of the standard error of measurement.
There is no ideal standard error of measurement. Because the size of the standard error of measurement indicates how far an obtained test score might be from the real error-free score, the smaller it is the better. The size of the standard error of measurement is inversely related to the size of the reliability coefficient. If a test has a low reliability coefficient, one would expect large variations in students' scores (large standard error of measurement), but a high reliability coefficient indicates little variation in scores and hence al low stand error of measurement.
Improving the Reliability of Classroom Tests
The best suggestions for improving the reliability of classroom tests are:
(1) Write longer tests. Instructors often want to know how many items are needed in order to provide reliable measurement. It is not easy to answer this question, because it depends on the quality of the items, the difficulty of the items, the range of the scores, and other factors. The best advice is to include as many questions as you think the students can complete in the testing time available. Around 40 multiple choice questions would seem an appropriate number for a regular class period.
Pay more attention to the careful construction of the test questions. Phrase each question clearly so that students know exactly what you want. Try to write items that discriminate among good and poor students and are of an appropriate difficulty level. If you use BEST's Digitek scoring service, you receive information on the discrimination and difficulty level of each objective item. Test items that contribute to test reliability have a discrimination index (R) that is positive and .40 or higher, and a moderate difficulty level (P) of 35 to 80.
(3) Start planning the test and writing the items well ahead of the time the test is to be given. A test written hurriedly at the last minute is not likely to be a reliable test.
(4) Write clear directions and use standard administrative procedures.
Because students' grades are dependent on the scores they receive on classroom tests, faculty should strive to improve the reliability of their tests. The over-all reliability of classroom assessment can be improved by giving more frequent tests. The composite based on scores from several tests and quizzes typically has higher reliability than the individual components. The positive and negative errors for individual students tend to even out over a semester.

Minnesota To Produce 1.34 Billion Bushels Of Corn
The federal government predicts Minnesota farmers will produce 1.34 billion bushels of corn this year, up 40 million bushels from last year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's production outlook for Minnesota also predicts corn yields averaging 168 bushels per acre, up eight bushels from 2013.
Despite Rain, Minnesota Farmers Make Corn Progress
Minnesota farmers have been able to make gains planting corn, despite continued wet and cool weather. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 20 percent of Minnesota's corn crop was planted last week.
Planting Way Behind For Farmers In Minnesota
Sunday's beautiful weather is a relief to most of us, but one particular group is really grateful. Farms are finally buzzing with activity after a long cold winter and wet spring, which was a terrible combination for farmers. So, planting is way behind in many parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Tough Harvest Time: Wet Crop, Expensive Propane
This week's snow has added to an already wet crop, and that means a lot of farmers will rely on grain dryers to dry out their corn. "You can't dry it, you can't combine it, and you can't get it done," said Peter Leuer of Leuer Farms.
It's A 'Rush Hour' Harvest With Crops Behind
It has been a challenging year for Minnesota farmers. Many got their crops in late, dealt with dry conditions in August, and are now working in wet fields this fall. You may remember that some parts of the state got more than a foot of snow in early May, which is prime planting time for farmers.
Minn. Corn, Soybean Pasture Conditions Decline
The condition of Minnesota's corn and soybean crops declined slightly for the second straight week amid a dry week across the state.
Crop Insurance Rule Causing Confusion For Some
Some Upper Midwest farmers are worried they won't qualify for crop insurance on land they couldn't plant because it was too wet. At issue is a rule affecting whether farmers qualify for "prevented planting" payments for cropland that's too wet or dry to plant.
Wacky Weather Putting Potential Damper On 4-H Competition
The summer fair season has arrived and in the next few weeks, children from around state will bring their livestock to 4-H competitions. Last year, there was concern that the dry weather would have an impact on the size and turnout of livestock during this year's fair season.
'Normal' Winter Means A Better Apple Crop
This winter certainly feels more like winter than last and that has growers of one of our favorite fruits very happy.
Healthy Pumpkin Crop Means Easier Carving
Picking the perfect pumpkin is easier in Minnesota this year.
Quality Apple Crop? It's Hit And Miss
A cold snap in the middle of an abnormally warm spring left apple grower Joe Carlson unsure of how this season would turnout.
Condition Of Minnesota's Corn Crop Holds Steady
The condition ratings for Minnesota's corn crop held steady amid warm, dry weather this past week.
'Golden Lining' Of 2012's Weather: Honey Crop
One good result of this year's extreme weather in Minnesota is a bumper crop of honey from local bee farmers.
Minn. Farms Hit By Flooding, Hail Risk Huge Crop Loss
The recent storms that have hit much of the state, didn't just impact homeowners and businesses. Farmers south and west of the Twin Cities have experienced extensive flood and hail damage. Now, some corn and soybean fields won't bounce back.
Rain Slows Fieldwork In Parts Of Minnesota
Rain and thunderstorms slowed fieldwork in some parts of Minnesota this past week.

Minimalist Mallorcan beach-side retreat
spending a lazy day by the pool with drinks and snacks served all day with a smile.
Puerto de Sóller is one of Mallorca's lesser-known treasures; a wonderfully quiet village resort in a beautiful horseshoe bay at the base of the verdant Serra de Tramuntana. The marvellously modern Aimia Hotel sits confidently in this enviable location, minutes from the beach and metres from its main esplanade. Rooms at Aimia are spacious, smart and pleasingly unfussy - all clean lines, muted tones and clever lighting with glorious views of the mountains and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea (many have balconies). Perfect for peace-seekers, this is a place for alfresco living: breakfasting on the impressive poolside terrace, lazing on a sunbed, taking a siesta in the sun, walking along white sand beaches and amidst citrus groves. A trip on the 100-year-old tramway to Sóller is a worthwhile day out too. (Knowledgeable staff will happily recommend treks, cultural spots and gastronomic delights). But back at the hotel, business meetings are in session and pampering is in process at Aimia Hotel's Spa. Equipped with a sauna, Turkish bath, gym, Jacuzzi, cyclonic showers and treatment rooms, pure bliss is the order of the day here. The hotel's Airecel Restaurant offers up an excellent blend of traditional Mallorcan cuisine and contemporary Mediterranean flavours.

Love is merely a bunch of chemicals floating around in your brain, I'd advise you not to get too attached if possible. Also, depending on your location, do not get married at all. Ever. To anyone. Divorce in western countries will screw you relentlessly. This doesn't apply to countries where marriage is essentially misogynistic, e.g. Pakistan.

If you're already the type to think about getting inked, Fatty's Custom Tattooz won't faze you one bit. Hidden away on the second floor of a dusty building off Connecticut Avenue NW, this long-running tattoo parlor – which sits above a dry cleaning facility and tarot card reader – pulls few punches, but delivers great ink. Consistently considered one of the city's top tattoo destination since it opened two decades ago, Fatty's is actually a fairly friendly environment, staffed with knowledgeable artists who are willing to walk the nervous through every stop of the process. Much of the artwork by those same creative types can be found hanging on the walls, including psychedelic pieces by Fatty himself, who primarily handles large-scale custom tattoos. The shop does piercings as well.
Tattoo Paradise is located in the heart of Washington, DC, and proudly presents two additional Maryland locations. There is a reason why this shop has grown and, simply put, it's because of Tattoo Paradise's attention to detail, quality, and friendly atmosphere. Tattoo Paradise boasts an array of 11 artists on staff as well as 10 guest artists at it's various locations. Tattoo Paradise is the perfect gift for that special person in your life and offers gift certificates that can be used not just for a great tattoo but for original design merchandise promoting the area's leading tattoo shop, Tattoo Paradise.
Cirque Du Rouge Tattoo and Piercing offers an almost old-time cinematic charm with their warm and eclectic atmosphere. Cirque Du Rouge Tattoo and Piercing offers up to 10 artists at one time. That's right, 10 artists. Cirque Du Rouge is right in the heart of H Street which boasts countless shops and cafes, so there is always something to do whether you are getting inked or just along for the ride with a friend. This is a must-see shop with world-class artists ready to provide you with a piece that will last a lifetime.
Walls bedecked with vivid artwork make known the heart of Pride & Glory, an artist-formed tattoo and piercing studio, as dedicated to the history and tradition of tattooing as it is to the future of the form. The skilled staffers bring with them artistic backgrounds in painting, sculpting, and invisible-ink portraiture, and pair their well-practiced trades with an impressive stock of body jewelry and after-care products. Free consultations encourage guests to thoughtfully plan their ink, and hundreds of flash-art designs cater to patrons in search of inspiration.
Working in the medium of ink and skin, the artists at Black Lotus Tattoo Gallery create custom works of art in a squeaky clean shop. Led by owner Halo, whose portrait-style and freehand work can be viewed here, this crew sends clients home with indelible, one-of-a-kind designs and expertly inserted body jewelry. For those sporting outdated or botched ink, the studio offers Tatt2Away tattoo-removal procedures, which diminish old tats without the use of lasers or giant pink erasers.
Zapatat's team of doctors and licensed aestheticians employs laser technology to effectively remove unwanted ink from clients of all skin types. Tattoos are measured and examined during initial consultations to determine the number of treatments needed for removal. During the procedure, a high-powered RevLite SI laser produces nanosecond pulses of light in multiple wavelengths, effectively breaking down ink particles of any color without heating up the surrounding skin. The Zimmer Cryo 6 chiller and a topical numbing cream applied before the treatment also work to reduce discomfort. Guests can enjoy a complimentary beverage and take advantage of Zapatat's free WiFi.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...Mary C. BakerSan Diego, CAAwesome ProductI had a 1" UNIL flat iron which was great but finally died. Until I tried the 1 1/2" Sedu, I did not know what I was missing. I can staighten my hair in half the time and it actully stays straight in the rain. HIghly recommend it.posted Dec 15, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...Cathy K.Washington, DCI'm Very ImpressedIve had my Sedu flatiron (1-1/2") for a few weeks now and I love it! I owned a Hot Tools flatiron for 2 years before it died and never had any complaints. But after using my new Sedu, I realize how clunky the Hot Tools was. I love how the Sedu is lightweight, heats up in seconds and straightens my hair quickly. I have naturally curly, frizzy hair and it stays stick-straight now. It only puffed up a little during one very rainy humid day. The best part is if Im feeling lazy...I dont pin it up or brush out the curls. I just grab hunks of hair and run the iron through it and it still straightens it beautifully! I highly recommend it...its worth the money.posted Dec 15, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...Amber LeeVirginiaIts ExcelentI just got it today nad wow! I have thick wavey/curley hair, and this really worked. My hair was completely staright. I didnt have a single bump, wave or curl left! I recomend anyone who want straight hair but cant get it buy this. Its equivelent to a professional straightening. Its amazing!posted Dec 15, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...ChristineAustin, TxSo Far ,so Friggn' Greati got the TR process done about 6 months ago and basically bought this sedu to maintain the incredibly straight hair TR gave me (if you guys can afford it and know a trustworthy salon that does it, its so worth the money, but this SEDU is a very close second). i - among other hardcore sedu fans - also first considered the CHI since ive heard in so many salon circles that it was considered the innovator in ceramic straightening technology. or soemthing. anyway, after reading the incredibly positive reviews on this product and the reviews from a handful of unsatisfied CHI owners, i decided to switch. very VERY glad i did. aesthetically, the SEDU is quite the sexy looking instrument. it feels stable in your hand when you use it and not flimsy like the cheapey ceramic straighteners offered at the local targeet/walmart. AND it has the variable temperature settings. i have naturally wavy hair thats beginning to grow out again, and i have to straighten my bang area out every day. not a problem with the SEDU. and my hair glides right thru the plates like liquid. no snagging or pulling. go out and buy a SEDU, and stop blowing your money on the cheap stuff.posted Dec 14, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...HeidiCharlotte, NCGreat For Long HairWow....I wish I found this sooner...for years I had been using a cheap Hot Tools iron and I thought that was the best my long, curly hair would look straight. I checked out some opinions on a couple of websites and decided to try the Sedu. My hair has never looked better...so smooth, so straight and it lasts for a long time. You can also flip or slightly curl the ends for a more natural look that is more popular today...The price is worth it...it will cost an extra buck to look good sometimes....and you dont want to fry your hair with cheap stuff.posted Dec 14, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...KristyDetroit, MichiganI Love ItThis flat iron is the best one I ever owned. I have bought many flat irons and the Sedu is definetly the best. I was a little skeptical at first just because I didnt want to spend all that money on something that wouldnt be much different then what I have already owned. It worked great on my super thick hair and I didnt even have it on the highest heat seating. It also runs so smoothly over my hair. I love using it!!!!posted Dec 14, 2004Link to this post

I never thought I could have the smooth and shiny salon look on a daily basis. THIS IS THE BEST FLAT IRON! It worked beautifully and quickly. I have been searching for a long time for the perfect flat iron and this is it. I wash/condition my hair at night, let it air dry (to its usual curly & frizzy state) and use my Sedu in the morning. It looks great all day WITH NO BLOW DRYING! You will love this iron!posted Dec 13, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...ShannonSturbridge, MAWorth It!!!This flat iron is worth every penny. I was a little skeptical about spending over $100 on a flat iron but it fantastic. My hair is very curly and thick and this iron makes it perfectly straight. It is also very smooth and silky feeling which are just added bonuses. My hair does not get caught in the iron like it did on my other flat irons so there is less breakage. I love it and may buy another one to have in case this one ever breaks!!!posted Dec 13, 2004Link to this post

Exclusive treatment for Breaking Dawn: Part 1
You are cordially invited to the event that will change Everything.
This is one series people love to hate. But then again, it has a pretty big fan following. Most of them, girls. The 'Team Edward' versus 'Team Jacob' is one of the biggest highlights of the franchise and Summit Entertainment is cashing that cow with official merchandise and apparel.
The series is getting the Harry Potter treatment, that is, the last book of the franchise is split into two movies. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is scheduled to release on November 18 2011 and Part 2 a year later on November 16., directed by Bill Condon.
On the eve of the MTV Movie Awards 2011 where The Twilight Sage:Eclipse swept the floor with five awards; Best Movie, Best Male Performance (Robert Pattison), Best Female Performance (Kristen Stewart), Best fight and lastly Best Kiss, the debut trailer for breaking Dawn Part 1 was revealed.
The trailer promised a lot when it was announced, and it delivers. Bella and Edward and tying the holy knot of matrimony, and Jacob is not happy about it, as always. There are a few intimate scenes between Bella and Edward that ends with a reveal proportionate to a cliffhanger. Jacob fans are treated with some sweets as well. The trailer is exclusively available for viewing on IMDB.
Do post your comments. We would love to know what you think. Epic or a dip!

The Baltimore Ravens are entering their bye week off of, quite frankly, an embarrassing loss to the Houston Texans that finally brought out their weaknesses for the world to see. All season we have talked about how much the defense has struggled, more specifically with the run, but let's not forget that the Baltimore offense has only put up 45 total points in three road games this season. So the question must be asked, which side of the football is struggling more? First we will examine the defense. Baltimore's once feared defense, is anything but right now ranking 26th in the NFL in total defense, a number Ravens fans are not used to associating with Baltimore. So what exactly is going wrong for the Ravens 'D'? Well the most obvious reason that most "experts" give is that they are getting older, more specifically the field generals for the Baltimore defense, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, but we are not buying that just yet. Yes they are getting older, and Lewis may be playing his final se...
