Gerald Lacey, President MN Barley Growers Association
Prairie Grains is the official publication of the Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers, North Dakota Grain Growers Association, South Dakota Wheat, Inc., and the Minnesota Barley Growers Association.
Thereve been fewer public hearings and a lot of partisan bickering. We can say that as far as barley is concerned, we have been involved closely to assure that the crop is treated fairly in the legislation.
The best we can likely hope for is a reduction in proposed cuts when a compromise agreement from both sides is reached. I can assure producers that we will keep the majority to its word of reducing regulations and red tape, so we can be as competitive as possible in the world market.
Aside from the farm bill, one of the biggest projects the MBGA has been working on is value-added. The MBGA has played a key role in leading a steering committee of small grain growers to search for value-added opportunities.
There are some real possibilities on the table which we are evaluating that would focus on barley. If a project we are looking at gets a green light and moves ahead, there will be an announcement made to growers.
As opposed to all the negatives surrounding the farm bill debate, it is encouraging to see the positive direction growers are taking to have a greater influence over the processing of their commodities.
Indeed, as the government continues on the road of reduced agricultural spending, producers have to look at other revenue sources. Processing or adding value to their raw commodities should be an option for growers to consider on how they may help themselves in returning more profit to their bottom line.
Always, the MBGA appreciates grower support and encourages direction and involvement in its activities.
Be sure to attend our convention Dec. 12-13 at the Holiday Inn in Fargo. At 4 p.m. the first day we will hold MBGA board elections. Up for re-election are Curt Swanson of District 1 (northern MN), Allan Haugo of District 2 (central MN), and Steve Blilie of District 3 (southern MN).

In PowerPoint for Mac 2011 Essential Training, author David Rivers demonstrates how to create effective slideshows and dynamic presentations using the tools in Microsoft PowerPoint 2011. The course provides in-depth instructions for changing the look of presentations: using built-in and custom themes, formatting text, inserting tables and charts, adding pictures and SmartArt drawings, and adding animation. It also shows how to proof presentations and ready them for viewing, and gives details on the different ways to share presentations. Exercise files are included with the course.
When you add text to a slide using the placeholders that are there already for you in a slide layout and as part of a theme, typically the formatting of that text is taking care of. It'll always be the right size. It'll always look right, be the right color, et cetera. But when you start adding your own text, using your own text boxes, or even using a shape, for example, like we did in the previous movie, you may need to format the text to look proper. That's what we're going to do using our Orientation presentation here. We do have a shape with some text inside.
You can see the text is way too small for the shape, and it's not the best color either. So there are some options for formatting this text. The first step though, is to select that text. We'll just go inside the text area. Click once, and you'll notice the entire shape is selected, because we've added the text to a shape. This could apply to a text box as well, what we're doing here. But because it's a shape, we have some formatting options that are going to appear. Notice on the Ribbon, in between the Home and the Themes tab is a Format tab. When we click this, we're going to see formatting options for the shape, which include formatting the text for us.
For example, you'll see here in the Shape Styles group, we've got a number of different options to choose from. They're all presets. We click the little dropdown arrow, and you can see there are quite a large number of options to choose from. So if we wanted to choose one of these green options in the very bottom right-hand corner, you can see it changes the shape, and the text inside remains the same. Now let's go back to this and choose something different; maybe something with a border around it would be better. Yeah, that's not bad. But you can see the text inside hasn't really changed.
So let's click and drag across the text. You can go from the right- hand side or the left-hand side. It's totally up to you. I'm going to click and drag to select all of it. We also have some options for text styles. You can see there is this little window here with the dropdown of its own. When we click that arrow, you're going to see a number of formatting options that are applied to our selected text. You can also see we can choose to apply the formatting to all text in the shape. So in this case, we already selected the text, so it doesn't matter which one we choose.
So we've got the green background. Maybe something that will stand out might be something gold, for example. Choose one of those. You can see now it's very difficult to notice the change, just because it's still selected, and it's not very big. So we'll click off the slide. Now it that does look better, but we do have some work to do. So we'll go back inside, and we'll click and drag across the text again. This time though, we're not going to use the presets. We're going to go back to the Home tab, because there is a whole group here, under Font, that allows us to change the font face, the font size, you can see it's defaulted to 18 points here.
So we can click this dropdown and choose something different, like 20: it gets a little bit bigger. Or we could use the up arrow and down arrow to increase or decrease the font size. Let's just bump it up until it fits nicely. You can see that's getting pretty close to the borders. It is bolded. We can tell because the Bold button is depressed. So all of these attributes are at our fingertips as well. We can turn Bold off by clicking it. We could try Underline by clicking it. Don't like it? Click it again to turn it off. We can also change the color of our font if we wanted to.
So the font color is currently a yellowish color, but we can go to maybe a bright yellow, and it's going to stand out. We can also choose from some of those styles that we saw using the Format tab on the Ribbon. They're also available to us here. So if you want to go back to something, you can see that makes it so it has to wrap around. And it doesn't look great like that, so we'll select it again. We'll just bump the size down until it fits perfectly. Now we'll just deselect it by clicking off the slide to see the end result. It looks pretty good.
All right, let's go back inside, and select our text again by clicking and dragging, because under Paragraph, we also have some options that we'll apply to our text; for example, the alignment. Right now, you can see the Center Alignment button is selected. So if you want it on the left-hand side or the right-hand side, you could select those. There is not a whole lot of room between the borders here, so it's a very subtle change. Or you can choose Justify Text. If you've got paragraph text, it's going to go from border to border. With a single line though, Center is the best option, so we'll go back to that.
All right, let's see what that looks like by clicking off the slide. Everything is deselected now. I'm not crazy about the color here. It doesn't really go with our background. So we'll select the symbol this time - not the text - and go back to the Format tab. Although we're not going to fiddle around with the text, we can still choose some options for our shape styles. We'll go back to this little dropdown. Let's go back to something nice and gold. Go to the third one in the bottom row. That looks pretty good, but we do need to change our text color now.
We have some additional options here in the Text Styles group. So we've got the preset styles. It's a good head start, if you wanted to. Let's go to one of these greens. And if you want to change the fill color or the line color yourself, you could do that as well. There are also some effects. We'll click the dropdown. Maybe a reflection would be cool. Let's try the Medium Reflection, 4 points. You can see that. That looks nice. We'll deselect, and there is our finished product. So you have a number of formatting options once you've got the text in there. And if you haven't used one of the placeholders that are part of a slide layout, or maybe part of the theme, you may need to do some formatting yourself.
You have all of the tools necessary to do that here in PowerPoint 2011.

Final Fantasy X Gave Me Control, After Spinal Surgery Took It Away
I owe a lot to Final Fantasy X.
I owe a lot to Final Fantasy X.
Few people have made more effort to speak positively about video games in public than game designer, author, and researcher Jane McGonigal. She's the opposite of all those people who trash games in the media and, in this week's Quick Q&A, she's got four answers for us and one big question for all of you.
At Big Questions Online, game developer/author Jane McGonigal runs down the many ways gaming can be good for you.
The usually-optimistic game designer Jane McGonigal has been thinking about whether those of us who love to play video games will regret it in the end. She keeps meeting people who think gamers will. She keeps meeting people who doubt any of us will wish we played more games.
Game designer and champion Jane McGonigal advocates games as a tool for making the world a better place. She has a book and a pile of research explaining all of the ways in which games can be beneficial for players' physical and mental health as well as for the wider world.

Car crash kills 19-year-old
MILWAUKEE - A neighborhood on Milwaukee's north side is in mourning after a fiery crash kills a 19-year-old man.
Charred pavement at N. 24th and Fairmount marks the spot where the well loved young man lost his life around 1 a.m. Saturday.
Family and friends say Julian Hicks had a way of capturing the hearts of everyone he met.
"It's like I lost a little brother," said Rachel Malone, a neighbor.
Hicks was just a half block from home and turning into the alley when he was hit head on by an apparent drunk driver.
"The striking vehicle was traveling fast and I do know that the officers at the scene did support that he was under the influence of at least alcohol," said Milwaukee Police deputy inspector Terrence Gordon.
Anthony Bates lives on the corner and rushed outside.
"We just heard a big bang, or shhh shh shh and then we got up. I looked out," said Bates.
Bates saw the car on fire and then saw a police officer try to get to the victim but held back by the flames. Power on the block also went out following the accident.
"They broke off the telephone pole, bounced off the tree, took another tree out and the car wound up on the corner here," said Bates.
What's left now are the memories.
"He's one of those good ones I think a lot of people are gonna come out and support," said another neighbor.
"Every time you see him, he was always laughing about something. He was college bound. He was supposed to go to Columbia in the fall in Chicago for music," said Malone.
Milwaukee Police could not confirm whether they took the other driver into custody and what charges if any that person may face in this fatal crash.

I love to travel and explore new places, cultures, languages, food. Being in nature makes me happy. Especially hiking with my rescue pup and horseback riding. One dream of mine is to live in the south of france 4-6 months of the year...paint, soak up the mediterranean sun and just enjoy life. I am a bit of a Francophile.
Danielle has completed online and offline ID verification.
My staff loved hosting Danielle at the villa, and even though she was with us for just a week they tell me she made quite an impression and they were sad to see her go. We're hoping she comes back to visit again one day and wish her all the best for future Airbnb adventures
Danielle was not a difficult guest, but a guest with a for USA typical complain approach - "if I complain a little I will get something for free". but we are not Hilton hotels with thousands of rooms. we can not offer 10% discount on the whole stay only because previous guest where checking out two hours later than Danielle wanted to check in. bali is not a swiss train station and nothing works here in time because all the great people living here have a whole different concept of time and other guest are on holidays and not in a boot camp. as I wrote to you before, we offer to ALL our guests the same service of free late check out and not putting anyone on the street at point 12:00, this is what happens in the most villas and if you want to stay more than two hours you need to pay half of the day rate for the late check out. Any personal attacks are just unfair and so below the belt that it is even not worth to comment. Yes we did not meet, but you did not came to visit me or my family, you came to see bali and lovely ubud. but you did meet and get to know our great team who was servicing you and helping you to have great holidays during your stay. Next time just ask the staff if they are willing to accept 10% less salary for the week of your stay because you where waiting terrible long two hours in the comfortable lobby with great couches, free wi-fi and free drinks. Some words of wisdom for you at the end: enjoy your live and help other people to enjoy it and do not make your surrounding miserable for you and other people around you. do not expect the world to function like you want it, instead be every time surprised and thankful that the life makes things happen and take it as a gift. try to leave something positive behind where ever you go and try to make the world a better place. this time you failed, you shared the roof and food with good peoples offering you you great hospitality but the only thing you are laving behind is sadness. sad for you was that you did not get your discounts and freebees and very, very sad for us is that we offered you our great hospitality, local knowledge and hard work but the only thing you took home with you is the bitter taste not getting the freebees you wanted so much. sincerely yours made
Danielle and I met via a yoga training of 3 months many moons back. she is a beautiful woman dedicated to health, well being and the good life. she is also very involved in her world, is an advocate of many worthy causes... I strongly recommend her. :)

Omar Infante back in Royals lineup if not in the field
Omar Infante has yet to return to the field for the Royals, but he is in the lineup for Sunday afternoon's game. He will play designated hitter. Infante has not played the field since the Cactus League opener on Feb. 27 because of inflammation in right shoulder. Infante wants to play second base on Monday.
"That's the hope," manager Ned Yost said. "We'll see how he feels. He's feeling better."
The team continues to downplay the severity of the injury, and Infante has completed throwing drills. But there is little reason to risk aggravating the condition this early in camp.
Here is the lineup as Bruce Chen faces the Rockies:
1. Alcides Escobar, SS.
2. Omar Infante, DH.
3. Eric Hosmer, 1B.
4. Justin Maxwell, CF.
5. Mike Moustakas, 3B.
6. Carlos Peguero, LF.
7. Lorenzo Cain, RF.
8. Brett Hayes, C.
9. Pedro Ciriaco, SS.
Chen will be followed by Danny Duffy. Each will be allocated 60 pitches. Duffy is competing with Yordano Ventura for the last spot in the rotation.
"It starts to get a little more evaluative," Yost said.
During the next turn through the rotation, Duffy will start the big-league game and Chen will pitch in the minor-league game.
• The roster should be trimmed pretty soon, Yost said. The team is running out of innings to spread around their pitching staff. The staff will meet to discuss paring down the roster on Sunday. "It's looming," Yost said.
• Jeremy Guthrie completed his simulated game on Saturday without any trouble. He gave up two runs, one earned, on three hits and a walk in three innings. On Sunday morning, he discussed his designation as the team's starter in their home opener.
"It's a great honor to be able to pitch in front of what will be a huge crowd, and an excited crowd for our new season," Guthrie said. "I'm grateful that he gave me that opportunity."

A Behavioral Macroeconomic Model of Exchange Rate Fluctuations with Complex Market Expectations Formation
The paper investigates the emergence of complex market expectations (opinion dynamics) around nominal exchange rate adjustments using a macro-financial model of a small open economy featuring heterogeneous expectation formation (chartists and fundamentalists) and gradual adjustment processes in real and also to a certain degree in financial markets. The model shows among other things the mechanisms through which the first type of agents tends to destabilise the economy. Global stability can be ensured if opinions turn to fundamentalist behaviour far off the steady state. This interaction of expectations and population dynamics is bounding the – due to chartist behavior – potentially explosive real-financial market interactions, but can enforce irregular behavior within these bounds. The size of output and exchange rate fluctuations can be dampened by adding suitable policy measures to the dynamics of the private sector.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Designers of technological support for learning have an ever-increasing selection of platforms and devices at their disposal, as desktop computers are joined by mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, games consoles, and wearable devices. Digital television is a recent addition to this panoply of platforms and devices. Television has always had educational aims and effects, and it is natural for digital television to continue this tendency. In this chapter we examine the potential application of interactive digital television to the learning of languages. We explore the "fit" between the capabilities of the medium and the requirements of language learners. We then describe an application that combines the strengths of interactive digital television with those of the mobile phone to create a cross-platform learning application for informal language learners.

Minimum Stay | 3 - 7 nights |
Welcome to Nomad's Land. This spectacular condo is centrally located near pristine beaches, Mayan Ruins, and town of Tulum. The complex Zama Village is the closest condos to the beach and the first to be built in the new Aldea Zama project. There is a new grocery store called Chedraui right down the street for all your vacation needs. Also, a Pemex gas station, bike rentals, medical services, banks, and restaurants are all nearby.
The condo is located on the 2nd floor of this 3 level low rise complex and is surrounded by jungle. It actually overlooks a gorgeous swimming pool with tropical plants throughout. The condo has 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a Jacuzzi tub, a full kitchen, open living room, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and 3 balconies. You'll enjoy all of the high quality bamboo furnishings. It really gives you the feel of being in the tropics.
The masterbedroom consist of a king size bed, it's own full size bathroom, a private balcony with a Jacuzzi tub and jungle views. Let me tell you, margaritas go well in the jacuzzi tub. Also, a Samsung 40' LED flat panel tv is mounted on the wall for your viewing enjoyment. The guest room has comfortable twin beds, a full size bathroom, a 32' LED flat panel tv, and a private balcony that also has jungle views. Perhaps you'll see a Tucan or maybe a Spider monkey! The kitchen has stainless appliances, granite countertops, a table for 6 guest, and all your cooking needs. It's open to a nice size living room, which has a sofa, loveseat, coffee table, end table, and a 43' Samsung plasma tv that's mounted on the wall. The best part is walking off the living room onto a large balcony that sits over a lazy river shaped pool. There's nothing better than having your first cup of coffee on it and enjoying the peaceful morning views.
So! Whether your looking to party, visit historic places, enjoy water sports or just relax. Come to Paradise! Come to Nomad's Land!
Great condo in a fantastic location - close to town, the beach, and the supermarket. We had two adults and three children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The place was very clean and there were no surprises. Everything in the condo worked.
The list of things to do nearby is endless. We opted for spending a fair amount of time at the different cabanas and restaurants on the beach ($6-$9 cab ride) and sightseeing / dining in town ( walking distance or a $4 cab ride away). Our kids loved the beautiful pool in the complex as well.
Food in Tulum is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend doing your homework before you go or consulting the owner on what places to visit. Our favorites on the beach were Ziggy's, La Zebra, La Rosa del Viento, and Dos Estrellas at La Luna. In town - El Asadero, La Coqueta, Azafran, and Don Cafeto.
The owner as well as the on site manager were very helpful, accommodating, and easy to deal with. Overall, everyone had a great time! We are definitely going back to Tulum and would absolutely stay in the same condo if available.
Having Stayed at this condo with my family i cannot rate it high enough. The Aldea complex is still in its infancy but don't let this put you off.The small cluster of completed condos at the end of the quiet access road were beautifully appointed and overlook a perfect pool and gardens.Internally the condo is decorated to a high standard and very spacious. Situated between the beach and Tulum 'centro' with its bars, shops and restaurants it is the ideal base for a holiday. There is a large supermarket about 20mins walk away, 5mins by car (we sometimes walked and caught a taxi back from the taxi rank in the car park). Initially we were not planning on using a car but i would strongly recommend it(WATCH OUT FOR THE SPEED HUMPS!) even though there are 100's of taxis zipping around and all are very reasonable in price. If you stay at this condo one trip you must do is a day at Xel Ha water park which is only 10 miles away. I could not possibly do it justice here but Google it. It is a magical place. Finally a special thanks to Darrell and Cathy for swiftly sorting out the minor hiccough on our arrival. Thank you and hope to see you again.
I stayed at this condo and it was great. Everything was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The property manager came out to greet us and let us know of some good places to see which was great because we were clueless. It is in such a peaceful and quiet area. The owner was very helpful and prompt with any questions that I had. I recommend to anyone traveling in a group of 2-4.
I wish I could have stayed forever!! Darrell's Condo, Nomads Land, was the perfect place to stay for our vacation in Tulum! We felt right at home. The condo is in excellent shape, very clean and absolutely beautiful!! The 3 balconies gave us a great view no matter what room of the condo we were in. The Aldea Zama complex always felt very safe, with lots of security guards and helpful friendly people around. We had everything we could have wanted! The condo has 3 TVs, however I was glad to not turn any of them on for the entire stay. With so much to do around town and at the beach who needs to sit inside and watch TV? If you are up for some walking you do not need to rent a car. The walk to the local grocery store, Chedraui isn't far. Fine for bringing supplies back in a back pack. The walk into the pueblo is also not far. The walk to the beach is the longest. We did not rent a car for our trip. So we did end up taking a Taxi to the beach a few times, very easy to flag on down on the main road. I would recommend heading to the beach in front of La Vita e Bella, it is beautiful! And they have great food for a lunch on the beach. We also enjoyed Mateo's for dinner several times!! Excellent service at Mateo's! And La Zebra has fun Salsa Dancing lessons on Sunday nights! The options are endless! I would recommend anyone to stay at Darrell's condo for a good central location to everything. Darrell was excellent to work with, Thank You for being so good to us!! I hope to come back very soon!!
Darrell's condo is paradise away from home situated at Zama Village complex. We got there around 9PM and we were very happy with the condo. Very clean, comfortable and welcoming. We found everything what we needed it for. Each bedrooms has it's own flat screen tv's and the living room has 1 as well. Love the minimal decoration. One thing I love about this apt was the fact you always get morning sun. We cooked breakfast and ate at the patio while enjoying the sun and the view of the pool. We feel very safe and secure! We went to the rooftop and we can view the sunrise and sunset - Amazing !!
The beach is about 5 minutes drive from the apt. There are lots of local bar, lounge and restaurants. Tulum have several awesome beaches and cenotes which are pretty close from the apt. There are several supermarket and local grocery shops. The gas station and 24 hrs XOXO market are around the corner before you make a turn the the complex. There are also rental car ad bike rental on the main highway. Tulum Ruins is about 10 minutes away, Akumal is about 20 minutes away were you can swim with the turtles and snorkeling.
Overall, I will highly recommend Darrell's apt. it's located on the 2nd floor. I will definitely be back with the family. Can't wait ! Thank You Darrel and Cathy for making our stay enjoyable and memorable.
Darrell's condo is really fantastic! It's nicely furnished, clean, comfortable and spacious. It's well-stocked with plenty of towels, linens and even bottled drinking water. It's got A/C and a washer/dryer which comes in handy. This trip was just me and my girlfriend but this place would be ideal for families too. The apartment complex (Zama Village in Aldea Zama) is half-way between town and the beach. It's a decent walk to either, so we took cabs most of the time which were inexpensive and very easy to get- especially when you walk out to the main road. Just be aware that until they build retail space in Aldea Zama you have to get to restaurants, shops, beach etc. We did walk into town some days and even to the ruins. Cathy, the manager, was so nice and cares for the property wonderfully. She does great work rescuing stray dogs around Tulum. Great stay overall!
Zama Village is just a minute away from the Caribbean Sea, Mayan Ruins, and town. There is a large grocery store,surf shops,bike rentals etc. all nearby. You can also visit theme and water parks like Xcaret, Xel-ha, and Xplor all in close proximity.

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and law minister Somnath Bharti Wednesday held a "courtesy meeting" with Justice NV Ramana, Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, at his residence.
High court sources said the chief justice left for home at around 6 p.m. as he had a meeting with Delhi`s CM and law minister at his residence.
The sources said: "It was a formal courtesy meeting which is held every time a new chief minister takes oath. The meeting lasted for about 20 minutes."
They, however, refused to give details of the meeting.
Bharti has already been under fire after he called a meeting of all district judges in Delhi, and Principal Secretary (Law) AS Yadav, a district judge on deputation to the Delhi government, even shot off a letter to the Delhi High Court in this regard.
Yadav rejected Bharti`s proposal of judges` meeting, expressing his inability to convene a meeting of all Delhi court judges at the state secretariat.
Yadav told the minister that the judiciary is independent of the executive and only the Delhi High Court can summon a meeting of judges.
Yadav had tried to reason with Bharti, himself a trained lawyer, that it was unthinkable for a minister or anyone representing the executive to summon a meeting of the judges.
Lawyers in Delhi also condemned Bharti`s move, contending that the judiciary was not under the control of the executive and political authority.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an introductory overview of this special issue highlighting some Of the distinctive features of Zizek's Lacan-inspired thought relevant to the role of ideologies ill organizational change management.
Design/methodology/approach - The approach used aims to show how ideological and ethical ramifications of Zizek's recent analysis of a "Jacobin" change paradigm can affect thought on everyday change practices in business and management.
Findings - some parallels are drawn between current change practices and narrative tactics employed by Robespierre during the Jacobin reign of terror to "extort" the commitment of participants in the change process.
Practical implications - This paper/special issue invites reconsideration of our late capitalist intellectual/practical "reflexes" in change management, i.e. to reassess their ideological mechanism.
Originality/value - Zizekian/Lacanian approaches to organizations and change are especially suitable for this purpose bin have only recently begun to emerge.

Results for "bottoms up"
This is the Hoptimus Prime seasonal beer from Robinson Brewery. It has absolutely nothing to do with Transformers except the punny name and a blurb about how the flavor transforms as all the ingredients combine. I wish I'd known that before buying a case of the stuff hoping t... / Continue →

Whidbey Telecom makes amends
Following April's email fiasco, Whidbey Telecom is offering many of its customers a one month credit for June.
According to a recent notice sent out to customers, the credit will be applied automatically for those who had active email accounts during the upgrade and migration.
"In appreciation of your business, your patience, and as a goodwill gesture, we will apply a one month credit to your account for the high-speed internet, webpage, dial up or stand-alone email service to which you had one or more active email accounts during the email upgrade issue," wrote Bruce Russell, the company's chief operating officer.
In late April, the South Whidbey-based telephone, internet and email provider launched a planned update to its old email system. Complications resulted in severe service interruptions that lasted nearly a week and affected up to 7,000 customers.
For questions about the new email system or interface, call the company's technical support team at 321-8324 or 1-800-880-0886.

Artist: Kris Allen
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Rock
I don't know you but I want you all the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me and I can't react
And games that never amount to more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly eyes that know me and I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me and I'm painted black
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had the choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
