Creating Long Documents with InDesign shows designers how to create book-length documents in workflows with multiple users—using both InDesign features and third-party plug-ins. Publishing veteran Mike Rankin focuses on long document elements such as page and chapter numbering, table of contents, cross-references, and indexes. The course also provides an overview of document construction, from creating master pages and applying consistent formatting with styles to placing text and images and outputting to both print and interactive PDF.
Basing one or even many styles on a parent style is a powerful technique that will help you create styles quickly and make changes to them even faster. You simply use one style as the basis for variations. You keep some attributes the same and change others. Then you can use Based On with any kind of style, paragraph styles, character styles, object styles, table and cell styles. Just don't take it too far and create a long complicated set of dependencies. It's okay for your styles to have parents or even grandparents, but when you get to having great-grandparents of styles you might've gone too far.
So in this document, I have my basic body text and I need to make a change, because underneath every photo, I need a different paragraph style that doesn't indent the first line, and I am going to base the new style on my body text style. So with my cursor in the paragraph, I will go to my Paragraph Styles panel and I will Option or Alt + Click on the new style button, and I will call this one BF-BodyFirst. It's going to Based On the BodyText style, and since the style after it I want to be plain body text, I am going to make the next style BodyText.
Then I will go into Indents and Spacing and change the First Line Indent to 0, and click OK. Now I will apply BodyFirst to that paragraph and the indent goes away. Now to illustrate some of the potential hazards of Based On styles, let's take a look at what can happen if you base styles on Basic Paragraph. I don't want to come across as saying you shouldn't base styles on basic paragraph, some people do it very successfully, but they are careful and strategic about how they do it.
But I want to show this just so you can see how things can go wrong with Based On styles if you are not paying attention. So here are two text frames. They look identical, and in fact, in this document they are, at least in terms of appearance, but under the hood they're different, and that difference is the Based On relationships. The styles on the left are based on no paragraph style which can't be edited, but the ones on the right are based on Basic Paragraph, which can be edited. Now in this document there's no difference between Basic Paragraph and no paragraph style, but what if I took this text and put in another document where Basic Paragraph had been edited.
So I will create a new document, and I will edit Basic Paragraph. I will change the Basic Character Formats to something like Papyrus. Now I'll go back to my other document, I'll select both of these frames and copy them and paste them into my new document. I'll zoom in and you can see what happened. The ones that were Based On no paragraph style kept their original formatting and the ones that were Based On basic paragraph with a different definition, changed when they came into this document.
So that's just something to consider when you're setting up your Based On Style relationships. If you base on Basic Paragraph, you leave the door open to your text changing when it's pasted into another document. Okay, let's go back to the other document and see some of the benefits of Based On Styles. I will go back to the first page of the document, and in this whole layout I've created relationships to one master style that I called Base. I can see it in the Paragraph Styles panel. Down at the bottom in the Misc Style set, it's Base. This is like Basic Paragraph, in that I can edit it, but unlike Basic Paragraph, I'll never see this text unexpectedly change, when I move it from one document to another, because someone has changed the definition of Basic Paragraph.
So the scenario now is that the designer has called and said that the entire program is being changed to use a different font. Literally, everything will have to change. Now this could be the occasion to freak out if I hadn't planned in advance, but because of the relative simplicity of this page design, I was able to have every style dependent on the style base for their typeface. So if I change that, I will see the entire book change before my eyes. So let's do that. I will right-click on Base, I will choose Edit Base, Basic Character Formats and I can pick a different font if I want to.
So say the designer loved Papyrus and she wanted the whole book to be laid out with that. So I will just type that in here and click OK, and all my style has changed. So the chapter number, the chapter title, the drop cap, the body text, even the page number, and if I go down to some of my other pages, I can see that the poetry has changed too, the running headers, all these things were tied to that Base paragraph style, and I was able to change them all with just about one click. Now in most situations you wouldn't be able to create such a one-to-many relationship, but this does illustrate what can be achieved almost instantly with Based On Styles.
One thing that's worth mentioning if you're having trouble figuring out the Based On relationships in the document that you didn't create or maybe even the one that you did create, but you can't remember exactly what you did, there is a free script from In-Tools that can help you. In my Scripts panel, I have the script called ShowBasedOn. I'll double-click to run it, and it just opens up a simple dialog box where I can see all the Based On relationships. I can tip open the triangles and see that the foundation of the document is No Paragraph Style, Basic Paragraph is based on that, and then Base and most of my styles are all based on Base.
But some of them also have parent styles as well like Body Text, and the Recipe style and the Chapter Headings. So I have Chapter Heading Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, and the only difference here is the size of the text. Basing one style on another can be a great way to streamline your document construction and it gives you the ability to quickly implement large-scale design changes throughout your documents, no matter how long or complex they are.
Next, we'll see how to create automated character formatting with nested styles.

Hi Carla,Can you or someone else post the address for this outlet?
Great post Micheal, thank you for all that info, I wish you were living in my state I would surely hire you to be my consultant and pay you big $$$$ just for that. I'm planing my electrical runs my self so this post just made my day.
Thanks again,
We are having a terrible time with them right now, and would like to know if anyone else is experiencing the same with them.
It's all about our draws. We are getting close to the end,
and it's very clear to us now that they are trying to hold us
back. From the start, information we should have received before we
closed on the loan was forwarded to us after the fact! Now, all of the rule changes that have been made since we closed are
costing us lots of $$$$!!
Now we request a draw for appliances with a 6-wk. lead
time, interior doors, three weeks, and flooring, three weeks. They are only
paying 25% of the cost, so we will have to find the rest! - WHAT?-
Inspections every draw or every 60 days? Now, we are fighting to stay
alive, because our future depends on this house. You would think that
given the current economic crisis they would want you to finish, but
no, they are trying to milk every $$$ they can, or better yet, take
over your house and sell it for maximum gain! (BUT I WILL TELL THEM
THIS - IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!) We have worked very HARD
for many years for this house.
Thank you all.

Ben Johnson (outfielder)

|Ben Johnson
|Left fielder
June 18, 1981
Memphis, Tennessee
MLB debut
|June 26, 2005 for the San Diego Padres
Last MLB appearance
|June 10, 2007 for the New York Mets
Career statistics
|Batting average
|Home runs
|Runs batted in
Benjamin Joseph Johnson (born June 18, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee) is a retired Major League Baseball outfielder. Johnson was named the Memphis area High School Player of the Year in baseball at Germantown High School in 1999. He was also recruited to play football at Mississippi State University, but opted for baseball instead.[1]
He was a 4th round draft pick in 1999 by the St. Louis Cardinals, and was traded the following year to the San Diego Padres, along with Heathcliff Slocumb for Carlos Hernández and Nathan Tebbs.
He worked his way up to Triple-A in 2005, where he was an All-Star outfielder and the San Diego Padres Minor League Player of the Year, hitting .312 with 25 home runs. He was brought up to the majors that year and received limited playing time with the Padres, hitting .213 in 75 at-bats, and .250 with 4 home runs in 120 at-bats in 2006.
He was not selected for San Diego's 2006 playoff roster, and after the season ended he was traded to the New York Mets with relief pitcher Jon Adkins in exchange for relievers Heath Bell and Royce Ring.
Since joining the Mets, Johnson has been shuttled up and down between New York and Triple-A New Orleans. During June, he received some playing time when all three Mets regular outfielders (Shawn Green, Carlos Beltran, and Moisés Alou) were injured.
Johnson was not offered a new contract by the Mets and became a free agent on December 12, 2007. However, the Mets brought Johnson back by signing him to a minor league deal on February 14, 2008, and invited him to spring training. Johnson was released by the Mets in early May 2008. In 2009, Johnson attempted a comeback from multiple injuries with the Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League.

I've been working on cryptography implementations in C. I am required to use hash a message using any one of the popular hash functions like SHA,MD5, etc.
In Java, there is a security library which takes care of these things.
But how do I do the same in C?
for example: char *str = "this is a message"; char *hash = SHA(str);
Something of this sort. It would be of great help if some one can point me to some library which has already implemented these functions which i can call for my program.

With the right balance of arrow spine , brace height and fast flight string, this bow has no noise and very little hand shock. I have the 45# and am using CX heritage 150 with Zwickey eskimo 2 blades which are just under 500 gr total weight. It has the right trajectory (15-18 yard distance) and thump at the target. I couldn't be happier with the performance of the bow. Wherever I look the arrow and broad heads magically zip right to that point.

- Recommended for those of us who are tall with a long draw Review by David from Ga
Quality Price Value
I am 6'1 and my draw is just over 30 inches. This bow doesnt stack at all even past this point. Its just right for me, and I could see it working well with someone taller as well. It is a very smooth shooting bow, and it doesnt wear me out. Has plenty of power even at 45#. The arrows fly fast and straight, can't ask for much more. I like that the arrow rest is radiused as well. Samick did a good job with this bow. Didnt give it 5s because I dont feel that I have been shooting bows long enough to rate anything a 5.

- Couldn't be more satisfied! Review by oldfella
Price Value Quality
WOW! I haven't shot a bow (of any type) for twenty-five years. Yes, that's more than short break.
Straight out of the box, with a home-made Velcro rest + side-plate, haven't even put a knocking point on it yet......six inch groups right off the bat. It's not me - it's the bow! No doubt it will deliver tight groups in no time at all, if I do my job and get into the groove.
I've never shot a longbow before, only recurves and old-school compounds. It really is "point and shoot". Two eyes on the target and let it rip, like throwing a dart or a football. At 45 pound draw I am 100 percent confident it will down any whitetail with no problem. The bow arrived in three business days to my home in Georgia, well packaged. No instructions? Not an issue - I have the internet, with all the world's archery knowledge. I definitely recommend this bow.

This bow is awesome! It is my first long bow. I got the 50 pound model and it shoots pretty quick. I am very happy with this one. I tested out bear long bows as well as the samick birds eye banshee. The draw is super smooth and doesn't stack as much as some of the other models. Overall its a great bow, good quality, excellent price to start getting into traditional archery, and I look forward to deer season.

this bow was my first bow i bought for myself. shoots very well, and is very good as a starter bow!
just keep in mind that the bow is 69'' and not 68'', in case you need to buy a new string.
only thing that might be better is the grip, it is a bit bulky, especially if your hands aren't that big

- great bow for the money Review by oklahoma archer
Price Value Quality
Bought this bow out of the necessity to have a lighter counterpart for my 60lb Heritage. I bought a 40lb from my local bow shop. The guys at the bow shop were very impressed with the quality of this bow for the price. I was also impressed with the look and feel of this bow. The one thing i would like to see as an improvement, is a better locator grip and the grip releaved in the palm area. However I truly believe that you will not find a better longbow for the money. I do believe my next bow will be another Samick ordered from Lancaster Archery.

Voters go to the polls Tuesday for primaries or runoffs in Utah, New York, Colorado, Oklahoma, South Carolina and South Dakota. Two incumbents to watch: Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch in Utah and Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel in New York's 13 th Congressional District.
Hatch faces former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist, who has tea party support, and, based on an independent public poll released Saturday by Deseret News/KSL-TV, Hatch is likely to win. He led Liljenquist among registered voters by 60 to 32 percent.
Rangel faces a tougher contest because of redistricting changes.
President Barack Obama will attend fundraisers Tuesday in Georgia and in the battleground state of Florida, and Mitt Romney will campaign in Virginia, another battleground state, and attend a fundraiser in New Jersey.
Vice President Joe Biden will be campaigning in Iowa — yes, that's a battleground state, too — and first lady Michelle Obama will attend fundraisers in Chicago, including one event with "Glee" star Jane Lynch.
Also worth noting: A group of civil rights leaders will hold a press conference at the National Press Club in support of Attorney General Eric Holder, who faces a contempt of Congress vote in the House of Representatives later this week. Participants will include Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President and CEO Wade Henderson, National Action Network President Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous.

"Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)" is a popular song written by Irving Berlin for the 1954 movie White Christmas. It is commonly performed as a Christmas song, although the lyrics make no reference to the holiday.[1]
It was nominated for an Academy Award as "Best Song" but was defeated by "Three Coins in the Fountain" from the movie of the same name written by Jule Styne and lyricist Sammy Cahn.[2] It was performed on the 1955 Academy Awards telecast by vocalist Peggy King.[3]
The best-known recordings were made by Rosemary Clooney and Bing Crosby — who both appeared in the film — as well as separate recordings by Eddie Fisher, Sonny Rollins, Andy Williams, Jimmy Durante, and the Ray Conniff Singers. More recent recordings include those by Amy Grant, Miki Howard, Jars of Clay, Diana Krall, Barry Manilow, Johnny Mathis, Sandi Patty and José Mari Chan.
When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep
Counting your blessings

A haul of LSD and Ecstasy found by police during a search in
Dunedin today is thought to have been destined for the local
A 21-year-old Dunedin man is facing charges of importing the
drugs after two search warrants were executed in the city.
The drugs had been imported from Germany and the United
Kingdom and had a street value of between $3500-$7000 (LSD)
and about $55,000 (Ecstasy), police said.
The man has been arrested and will face three charges of
importation of the Class A and B controlled drugs as well as
associated drug dealing charges. He will appear in the
Dunedin District Court tomorrow.
Detective Hamish Barrons said the drugs appeared to be
destined for the local market.

They haven't articulated a sound legal and civil rationale for opposing the bill. It's time for Gov. Lingle to stand up and do the right thing: Sign the bill.

Equine inclined
Veterinarian specializes in evaluating, treating horses with sports-related injuries
Greg Ford saw his first horse when he was 11 years old.
He hasn't stopped looking since.
About a week ago, Ford joined the veterinary team at Fellhauer & Morris Veterinary Clinic, becoming Wichita Falls' only veterinarian who specializes in equine sports medicine.
He loves people, but has a big soft spot for the four-legged beings as well.
"I can remember a horse's name before I can remember a client's name," Ford said. "They are as individual as people."
The 35-year-old spends his time treating horses with lameness, evaluating performance injuries and also does a lot of dentistry.
He doesn't just work with the animals, though. He works hard to make sure that the owners recognize problems, as well as how to fix them.
"I enjoy teaching clients," Ford said. "I'll spend as much time as I need to with them."
Fortunately, the horses don't ever complain, but they can't tell him what's wrong either, he said. It's his job to find out.
"This is still a cowboy area," Ford said. "It's tradition here to just turn out an injured horse, because time heals wounds."
Unfortunately, allowing a horse to mend naturally can take up to six months, he said. He wants to give people a quicker option, instead of just waiting for healing.
The clinic is now home to a $100,000 digital radiology unit, which allows for instantaneous viewing of internal injuries. That, along with the help of massive amounts of medication and skilled professionals, makes fixing a problem a lot easier.
The wait time is just getting shorter and shorter, Ford said.
Ford treats all kinds of ailments, but sports medicine is his specialty.
"If you injure your foot, you don't go to a general practitioner, you go to a podiatrist," Ford said, explaining that animals require special attention too.
He does joint injections for pain, treats tendon and soft tissue injuries, spinal injuries and administers chiropractic adjustments, among other things.
Before his arrival, local riders, ropers and barrel racers were forced to go to places like Gainesville, Texas, to have their sport horses treated.
"We have a large number of sports horses here," Ford said. "And it's always been my niche."
Ford grew up around horses and even played polo for Texas A&M University. After getting his degree, he worked as a vet technician for several years before becoming a specialist.
He's been a vet for about five years now, and has had practices in Stephenville, Boerne and Waller, Texas.
Some friends convinced him that Wichita Falls was where he needed to be, so this is where he came. He has several horses of his own, and he boards them at Mesquite Tree Farm.
He is adept at animal medicine, but he also loves to train horses, and is most interested in animal behavior.
"Different horses need different techniques," Ford said. "The tone of your voice is the number one thing a horse can recognize."
He is available not only to treat injured horses, but to assist with performance problems and training.
With two new vets and a fresh coat of paint, Fellhauer & Morris Veterinary Clinic is ready for more business.
Ford is available from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday at the clinic. There is also an emergency service for after-hours treatment.

By Jonathan Elliott: Pacquiao vs Mayweather one of the most talked about fights in the history of boxing unfortunately unlike Hagler vs Hearns, Ali vs Foreman, Gatti vs Ward we are not talking about it because of what we have witnessed inside the ring but for what we haven't witnessed is what strives the talking point.
So who's to blame? In my last article "boxing politics killing the sport?" I touched on how I thought that Bob Arum was stopping the fight from happening but that doesn't mean that Mayweather is an innocent party in all of this, he should be held accountable for his crazy demands and wild accusations of steroid use thus resulting in random blood tests leading up to the fight. Calling out Pacquiao and then offering him ridiculous deals involving the money which he knows won't be accepted will not fool the fans into thinking that Pacquiao is the one doing the avoiding, Pacquiao is as just a big a draw and deserves the 50/50 split.
I believe Mayweather has more to lose with his proud undefeated record at stake, he is certainly a future hall of famer for his contribution to boxing but will he be happy with his legacy without the Pacquiao fight? I don't think so, he won't want the question marks hanging over his head of who was the better boxer of his era him or Pacquiao? He might not realise it yet but I'm sure he will when he retires.
I don't think that Pacquiao is as concerned about his legacy he like Mayweather has achieved vast amounts in the sport of boxing and is an icon and great ambassador for his country and if Mayweather was to beat him in his last fight he would still go out with his head held high at what he has achieved, Mayweather however would be the unhappier fighter with a loss as it would ruin his perfect record.
For me on Pacquiaos side Bob Arum is to blame and doesn't want to risk him in with Mayweather until it's Pacquiaos last fight, Pacquiaos fans are loyal and would still turn out to see Pacquiao fight if he did lose before then as let's remember he already has three losses on his record and they still flock to see him, maybe Arum thinks as Pacquiao's coming to the end of his career if he goes in with Mayweather now and gets beat he will retire so why would Arum do that when he can squeeze a few more fights out of him and then give him Mayweather as his last fight when he has nothing to lose as Pacquiao's retiring anyway, a loss tho for Mayweather or Pacquiao before they fight each other would definitely make their super fight lose some of it's appeal how could it not? Let's look at Pacquiaos last fight were the majority of people believed that Marquez won the fight but Pacquiao got the decision, whether Marquez did enough or not to dethrone a champion is debatable but nevertheless The MGM Grand Garden Arena was filled with a chorus of boos when the verdict was read out, if Marquez was the clear winner then why not award him the decision? Because like I said the mega fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather would lose some appeal.
The biggest question who would win? I am a neutral fan of both boxers and can see it going either way which is what makes the fight so intriguing, It seems after Pacquiaos last fight most people would favour Mayweather and they would have good reason to, not because the majority of people believed Marquez beat Pacquiao and Mayweather dominated Marquez in a very one sided affair back in 2009 because styles makes fights and we all know that's not how things work, but because Marquez counter- punched and fought the same way that Mayweather would fight him only difference being that Mayweather is the best counter-puncher in the game and would certainly apply these tactics even better.
However with Mayweathers last fight against Ortiz even tho he was winning convincingly, when Ortiz backed him up against the ropes he certainly landed, well at least that was the case until he lost his concentration and got frustrated with some of his misses, point being tho a few years ago the shots that were getting through even if it was only a few wouldn't of landed, so one has to ask is Mayweather declining slightly? And if Pacquiao has you backed up against the ropes and is allowed to land your in trouble.
Up next for both fighters are credible opponents with Pacquiao fighting a young, hungry, undefeated fighter in Timothy Bradley which is always going to be dangerous and Mayweather fighting the rejuvenated Miguel Cotto at his preferred weight so they both make for interesting fights but it's still not what the fans really want to see, both sides are to blame for the fight not materializing yet, one things for sure tho, the excuses have to stop and both fighters need to meet in the ring for the sake of boxing and the fans, both fighters deserve tremendous amounts of respect for their achievements but the next time I write an article with Pacquiao and Mayweather both mentioned in it I would like it to be an analysis of their fight, Pens and laptops down gloves on.

I have questions for doulas - do you do home or hospital births, or both? If you do hospital births, have you had to work with clients who wanted Pitocin, episiotomy, epidural, etc. or anything else you thought was a bad idea? Or do people who want doula services generally not want a technocratic birth?

An Everett man claims he and his toddler were kicked off an Alaska Airlines flight at Sea-Tac International Airport because the boy wouldn't keep his seatbelt on.
Mark Yanchak told MyNorthwest.com he was seated next to his 3-year-old son Saturday while his wife and other son were in first class.
Preparing to take off, the 3-year-old didn't want to sit with his seatbelt on, so Yanchak said he called his wife back for help. While tending to the toddler, Yanchak said the plane taxied back to the gate.
There, Yanchak said an Alaska Airlines representative asked him and his 3-year-old son to get off the plane as a matter of safety.
Alaska Airlines said they would rather deal with the issue on the ground than in mid-flight, reported MyNorthwest.com.
Yanchak told reporters he would not hesitate to fly with children again, but would not fly with Alaska.

Marbles: The Brain Store
4745 N. Lincoln Ave.
Chicago Illinois 60625United States
(773) 784-7991
Editor's Review
This brain-building store sells fun games and puzzles to keep your mind sharp.
Use it or lose it, they say. This Lincoln Square store claims that playing mind games is the cure for brain drain. Solving puzzles, deciphering word games and exercising hand-eye coordination build comprehension, retention, critical-thinking skills and dexterity. Merchandise goes way beyond popular brain bender Sudoku to include throwback favorites Rubik's Cube and Scrabble as well as ancient games, such as backgammon and the Gordian Knot puzzle. Other favorites are Labyrinth, Gobblet, Tangoes and Flip Floggs. Prices are as varied as the mental challenges offered: $7 for a Tantrix pack, $11 plus for puzzles and $30 and up for advanced games, building sets, gift packs and brain-boosting software. Shoppers are welcome to outsmart each other by playing games displayed throughout the open, airy store. Mind games have never been more fun.

Is Perry Texas Toast?
Lackluster performance and horrible poll among Jews mar candidacy
Certainly this week's scandal involving a word I'm not going to write—less because I'm squeamish and more because I actually just don't want to have to look at it—isn't going to help matters for Rick Perry. But even if that hadn't happened, his standing has been steadily slipping in the face of Mitt Romney's attacks on him and, even more, the perception that, with his debate gaffes and the like, the longtime Texas governor simply isn't ready for primetime. Late last month, he embarrassingly lost the Florida Republican straw poll to delivery-pizza mogul Herman Cain, despite having been the only one of the mainstream candidates to seriously contest it. (Putney Swope, anyone?) In the latest poll he is tussling with Cain for second place, with Romney in the lead. Presumably we will know more after the next GOP debate, which is in a week, and then yet more after each of the 100 or so GOP debates after that.
Meanwhile, in our little corner of the world, things look even worse for Perry. His image as a champion of Israel and a friend of the Jews, cultivated last month, appears not to be sticking. In a poll of Jewish voters in Florida—the Jewish voters who, in a sense, matter most—President Obama trounced Perry 82-2 percents (not a typo). Mitt Romney, by contrast, at least gets 11 percent of their vote. Wayne Barrett, late of the Village Voice, has a Newsbeast docudump revealing that Rabbi Irwin Katsof, of Monsey, N.Y., purportedly the "singularly important bridge between Perry and Israel's supporters in the United States," actually has fairly tenuous, cynical, and merely conditional ties to Perry, and anyway is not somebody Perry will necessarily wish to be associated with in a general election. In Texas, is this the part where they'd say it was time for him to hit the trail?

Client Reviews/Comments
Watus is awesome. His positive attitude and knowledge make you want to do better and keep going. He will really personalize your goals and outline how tp overcome your obstacles. I would recommend him to anyone. He is always helpful and accessible.
So I have worked-out of and on with Watus Cooper for the past 4 years and I would just like to say there is NOBODY that does it better! Not only does he know countless workouts and exercise routines but he is very knowledgeable about the body and how to correct problems you could be having from working out. Without the help of Watus, I don't think I would have been able to achieve my fitness goals and strive for even harder ones. In addition to that, I would not know the things I do to maintain my workouts while away from his training. Watus has workouts to fit all fitness levels and always keeps the workouts challenging and interesting and I really appreciate that! Don't believe me? Try 1 workout and there will be no need for debate.

Watus, is and always has been a first class-act when it comes to his people skills which makes him successful with training the wide range of people he does from mothers trying to get their "sexy back",to young aspiring college athletes(myself) to professional athletes. Watus is the man, he really is savvy and efficient in getting the best results out of those willing to just meet him halfway by attending his sessions. I'm speaking from personal experience when you need to get right for whatever reason Watus is your guy. The best thing about Watus as mentioned above he's a people person so he gets to know all of his clients he works with, and what their individual needs are so he's gets the JOB Done!Watus has an unlimited amount of savvy when it comes to what the body needs in order to become the athlete,mom,or pro that you want to be.

This study examined the prevalence of mental health needs and rates of service utilization among youth detained in a metropolitan juvenile justice system in California. Of the 345 youth in the sample, 265 (76.8 %) qualified for high or acute mental health need and 210 (60.9 %) had at least one prior contact with mental health services. No differences in mental health need were found across ethnicities; however rates of prior service utilization significantly differed (χ2 = 19.18, p < 0.001). Asian and Pacific Islander participants were less likely to have had prior contact with county services than any other ethnic group.

Vintage style bags are super hot property right now. All you have to do is look at the barely stocked shelves at your local vintage stores (or the overflowing-with-vintage-shaped-styles shelves everywhere else) to know this is true.
But if you, for some reason, have a bit of an aversion to both synthetic fabrics and the smell of mothballs, then you might want to shift your gaze over to Net-a-Porter who are about to launch a gorgeous capsule collection of five beautiful vintage style-inspired Coach bags. Each is a classic shape and made from Coach's famous almost edible buttery leather.
Find you next forever bag from US$298 at Net-a-Porter from June 15th (you can register for updates on the site here now)

The Columbia Audubon Society was organized in 1958 and serves six mid-Missouri counties: Audrain, Boone, Cooper, Howard, Monroe, and Randolph. Our mission is to preserve the natural world and its ecosystems focusing on birds, other wildlife, and the earth's biological diversity through education, environmental study and habitat restoration and protection.

CAS would like to host a public open house this spring at the Columbia Audubon Nature Sanctuary in northwest Columbia; possible dates include Saturdays May 30th and June 6th. Goals for the event include:
Making this open house a reality will require help from the membership; the Board is seeking volunteers to organize and hold the event. In addition, there is potential to host an educational outreach booth at Earth Day (Sunday, April 19) to engage the public in CAS's general mission while spreading the word about the open house. If you can help make these exciting events take place, please contact Kris Hagglund at firstname.lastname@example.com

CAS hopes to burn roughly 15 acres of Wild Haven Natural Area soon as part of a regular effort to maintain and improve the natural habitat. We are burning to maintain native habitats of open oak-hickory woodland (well-spaced mature trees with a diverse ground layer and scattered fire-resistant shrubs and young tress) and savannah (native meadow on west; native plantings near picnic shelter). Fire will control invaders like autumn olive, bush honeysuckle, and red cedar.
The burn area is twice as large as we've burned previously, but will be easier to manage because we are relying more on O'Rear Road and Hinkson Creek as firebreaks. After this burn, this area will have been burned twice in three years and we will burn less frequently (about a three year interval). We may establish some additional burn units.
We'd like to burn in early December, depending on weather and fuel conditions. Ideal weather woudl be: clear skies; temperature 40-60 degrees F; moderate humidity (25-60% RH), to allow fuel to burn easily, but not too aggressively; light (5-15 mph) north wind, to move the fire predictably and to blow smoke away from O'Rear road.
Volunteers are welcome, and should contact John Besser to be placed on the e-mail list for notification when the time arrives: firstname.lastname@example.com

Seed collection is underway for the CANS/Bonnie View prairie restoration project. The goal of this project is to transform over 13 acres of fescue pasture into a beautiful and bird-friendly prairie and savanna habitat. Starting this fall, and continuing through the growing season next year, we will organize teams of volunteers to collect seeds of wildflowers and grasses from prairie remnants and restored prairie habitats throughout central Missouri. These trips will not be long (usually about two hours) or physically demanding, and they will let you explore and learn about prairie habitats in your backyard. Volunteers should bring gloves, pruning shears/clippers, water, sunhat and a belt (to hang a seed collection bag).
We hope to have a half dozen seed collecting trips this fall, and we have three planned for October, which are listed events here on the website. Plans are subject to change, so if you are interested in any of these trips please contact the leader so you can be informed of any changes.

The past few months, John Besser, Bill Mees and Allison Vaughn have been attending educational meetings, talking to experts, and developing plans. About what, you ask? How to restore an old fescue pacture to fields of native grasses, wildflowers and other forbs.
This project will convert 13.5 acres from fescue planted for cattle into a prairie for birds. Five of the 13.5 acres of the land are in Columbia Audubon Nature Sanctuary, the other 8 acres are in the adjacent Bonnie View Nature Sanctuary. This project represents a true partnership between CAS and Columbia Parks and Recreation. The re-establishment of prairie will benefit wildlife, especially birds, and also augment public education.
Although planning is complete, budgets set, and site preparations begun, this is only the beginning. Eighteen months will have passed before the first native seeds are cast across the land in November 2015. Then we wait.
John, Allison and I hope you will want to take an active part in the project. Over the next couple of months and next summer, volunteers will collect native seed at Prairie Fork Conservation Area, Rocky Fork Conservation Area, and Tucker Prairie. Purchasing native seed is the most expensive aspect of the project. Seed collecting will augment the supply of specific plant species as well as reduce the cost associated with seed purchases.
If you are one of those who want to help make this project a success, please call (573) 445-7781 or e-mail us at email@example.com.

You may have heard about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) a degenerative disease that flared up in 2010 which produces approximately 2 months of suffering and 100% mortaility for deer. The Missouri Department of Conservation intended to prevent CWD by banning the importation of captive white-tailed deer (20 states already do this), improving fencing standards for private deer shooting farms, and mortality testing for captive deer.
In reponse, the private deer farm shooting businesses were able to attach provisions to omnibus agricultural bills (intended to allow higher livestock hauling and insurance limits) passing Senate Bill (SB) 506 and House Bill (HB) 1386 that would also move captive deer regulations to the Missouri Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture has publicly said they do not want this obligation and given it, would not have the interest and mission to implement the Department of Conservation's inititiative to protect native and wild species.
Thankfully, Governor Nixon vetoed these bills. All the hunting organizations (Conservation Federation of Missouri, Whitetails Unlimited, etc.), the Missouri State Parks Association, and the National Wildlife Federation all support the veto of these bills. However, the General Assembly has expressed interest in overriding all of the Governor's vetoes.
As CWD is 100% fatal when deer contract it and private deer shooting farms already have a history of negligence and apathy (it has been detected in captive deer in northern Missouri), outdoor enthusiasts are encouraged to contact your representatives in the state legislature and encourage sustaining the Governor's veto of SB 506 & HB 1326.
The Conservation Federation of Missouri has set up useful information and methods to contact our House and Senate Representatives at this website: http://confedmo.org/cwd.

Columbia Audubon Society lost two members this summer who were major reasons the Society has benn a leader in the world of natural history in general and bird conservation in particular.
Jean Graebner, 88, died after a three-year battle with cancer on June 30; Jerry Wade, 73, lost his duel with cancer on July 26.
Jean's interest in the natural history world led her to very active membership in Columbia Audubon, the Audubon Society of Missouri (ASM), the Hawthorn Native Plant Society, the Missouri Native Plant Society, The Prairie Foundation, Friends of Rock Bridge State Park, the Sierra Club and the Nature Conservancy, among others.
She served both ASM and the Hawthorn Society as secretary for years.
A native of Granite City, Illinois, Jean had both English and journalism degrees from the University of Missouri and spent 26 years as an English and Social Studies teacher at West Junior Hight School. She also operated a Scotch Pine Christmas Tree Farm with her husband Larry for almost 20 years near Rocheport before turning it into her personal wildlife refuge the final 15 years of her life.
She was a regular on a wide variety of bird counts and wildflower walks for 40 years.
Jerry Wade enjoyed his role as "SOB," that's "Spouse of Birder," being married to Edge Wade for half a century.
Jerry was no slouch as a field birder, but made huge contributions elsewhere in the avian world as a former president of the Audubon Society of Missouri and as the ASM membership director, and with his wife, the producers of "The Bluebird," the ASM quarterly publication.
He was also one of the leaders of MoBCI — the Missouri Bird Conservation Initiative, an organization devoted to the future of avian habitat in the Western Hemisphere.
Jerry, a rural sociologist whose career took him to places as far away as South Africa, was skilled in community organization and he used those skills in many areas of life — like Columbia Planning and Zoning Commission and the Columbia City Council.
Prior to his death, he had been the leader in the organization of "It's Our Wild Nature," a community watch group.
Both left huge foot prints.

The prairie restoration efforts undertaken by Columbia Audubon Society recently received an magnificent boost through a generous anonymous donation of $10,000 intended to support this project. CAS extends its heartfelt gratitude to this donor for valuing birds, habitat restoration, and conservation. Members have been working for years to coordinate with the City of Columbia, other organizations, and private citizens who share the values of the CAS mission. CAS has worked with these entities to collect native seed from natural areas around the region, prepare the Columbia Audubon Nature Sanctuary for prairie restoration, and to educate the public about the value of CANS. This donation significantly boosts the possibilities for public education & enjoyment of birds while increasing the biodiversity of our area. — Eric Reuter

ABOUT KyCORN
Latest News & Resources
President's Message
Schwenke, KyCorn President
After several years of great corn prices
and some of the most profitable times in our careers,
the other shoe is falling. Farmers are taking a look at
what they have in store for prices over the next few
years. If you are anything like me, you are getting a
little apprehensive about your tightening crop budget
and balance sheet.
It's going to take a sharp pencil to survive the next
few years, but it will also take prices bouncing back
sooner rather than later. A primary function of KY Corn
Growers is to encourage those prices to bounce back.
From a variety of fronts, we have programs to keep our
corn customers loyal to us and in healthy businesses.
The US Grains Council (USGC) is the export arm of the
corn industry. At this particular time of low US corn
prices, USGC is vital because of the fantastic
opportunities at its hands to foster new customer
relationships. KyCorn has personnel strategically placed
throughout those efforts.
Philip McCoun from Shelby County, the chairman of our KY
Corn Promotion Council, also chairs USGC's Advisory Team
on the Middle East and Africa. Also, Henry Sanger from
Fulton County, a retired KyCorn board member, sits on
the Biotechnology Advisory Team.
International buying relationships depend more on
personal relationships than many people might think. The
impact of face-to-face meetings with prospects and
customers can't be overstated.
So, last year, we welcomed several trade missions to
Kentucky from across the globe. In the spring, White
corn buyers from Mexico paid us a visit to become
familiar with our farmers; trusting relationships were
formed and transactions soon developed. We understand
that sometimes it is about personal handshakes. We hope
to see these business relationships last a long time;
we'll be working to ensure it.
In the summer, several owners of milling companies, both
dry and wet mills, from Malaysia, Indonesia and the
Philippines came here to see our technology in an effort
to enhance their corn utilization. An Export Exchange
Team from Turkey also visited with our leaders in the
fall to understand how our inland waterways
transportation system provides our pricing competitive
I am a cattleman as well as a corn farmer. And, I'm
proud that livestock, by far, is the primary consumer of
Kentucky corn. About 70 million bushels of the Kentucky
corn crop feed animals each year. In my view, one of the
best ways we can enhance that trend is to enhance those
industries, both at home and abroad.
At home, we partner with our livestock commodity
organizations to advocate in state and federal
governments; we want lawmakers and regulators to be fair
to their industries whether it be transportation laws or
water regulations. We know that these efforts keep their
profit barriers low. That keeps their businesses, our
markets, strong.
For helping the livestock profitability effort abroad,
KyCorn actively, and financially, participates with
export organizations for livestock products. Similar to
USGC, the US Meat Export Federation and the USA Poultry
and Egg Export Council are the beef, pork, poultry and
egg industries' export agents.
Corn checkoff dollars help to fund their export efforts
each year. And we regularly attend their meetings, to
understand what makes their businesses work, and
identify opportunities to work together.
As the Kentucky bourbon industry flourishes, we stay in
constant communication with distilleries to make sure
they understand the benefits of getting their
ingredients from the most local source possible.
Our goal is for all Kentucky bourbon to be made from all
Kentucky corn. We understand that it isn't that simple,
but we feel that it should be. We are confident that we
are making some headway in proving Kentucky corn
farmers' commitment to supply them a complete,
convenient source of high-quality grain.
All of these efforts are in the name of corn farmers
because we know our markets are a roller coaster, right
now we are gripping tightly to that safety bar, but
hopefully soon we'll be back holding our arms in the

The 21-year-old man who was killed in a boat crash June 14 on Sandusky Bay appears to have died from multipleinjuries, a preliminary autopsy found.
Ben Miller suffered blunt-forceinjuries of the chest and abdomen.
Erie County coroner Brian Baxter said his preliminary autopsy suggests all of Miller's injuries were from impact trauma.
Authorities said Miller was piloting a 21-foot Sea Ray carrying three friends and was thrown overboard during the crash, which occurred shortly after midnight June 14.
His body was found about 100 yards off the rocky shoreline of Lyman Harbor on the afternoon of June 16.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Watercraft said it would not have a final accident report complete until next week at the earliest.
According to John Wisse, ODNR spokesman, Miller was driving the boat back to Lyman Harbor when he evidently struck a 41-foot Formula. The extensive damage to the bow of the Sea Ray suggests it struck the Formula while the boats were crossing paths, Wisse said.
The Formula was driven by local auto dealer Phil Steinle Jr., 53, and carried one passenger -- Rachel Forester, 28. The Formula left the area after Steinle and Forester could not locate the boat they hit, said John Johnston, Division of Watercraft investigator. They headed to the Venetian Marina, where the Formula sank. Steinle took Forester to the hospital for an injury to her leg.
The Sea Ray stayed out in the bay until authorities were able to tow it to Lyman Harbor. Aboard the boat were Kevin Lake, 23, of Norwalk, Emily Jones, 27, of Norwalk, and Ashley Franklin, 23, of Huron.
Franklin, who suffered head trauma and other injuries, was listed in critical condition at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo. A spokeswoman for the hospital said she was discharged Wednesday.
Baxter said the toxicology and microbe tests on Miller are not complete. Until he finishes a full autopsy, Baxter will not be able to say with certainty what killed the young man.
