Hugh Robertson is of course right to work for safer environments for his union members (8 April, p 64). However, there are a couple of errors in his letter. The average annual dose limit for workers in the European Union is 20 times the public limit, not 50. It is 20 millisieverts (mSv) per year, and this was enacted in Britain by the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999.
It is not strictly true to say there is no safe level. No effects have been proved at the 20 mSv per year level. The risk factors are derived by extrapolation from much higher doses. So it is only true to say that there is no known safe level.

Cow Run Sand - Preston Co
There are 2 Cow Run Sands. Both are layers of oil and gas rich material. Notes below from "Oil and Gas Horizons of West Virginia".
I Cow Run (Little Dunkard) Sand.At about 425 feet below the Pittsburgh coal there belongs an oil and gas producing stratum that has been designated by the drillers as the First Cow Run sand in Washington county, Ohio, and later, the Little Dunkard, in southeastern Greene county. This horizon correlates with the Buffalo sandstone of the Conemaugh series and not the Saltsburg as has been worked out in detail by the writer on pages 281-285 of the Wirt- Roane-Callioun Rept. of the State Survey.
This sand is at present producing gas from three wells in the town of Westover, Monongalia county, which were drilled for water but proved to be gaseous. Each has sufficient pressure to provide domestic fuel for a household. There are two pays in the sand, the upper one being found about 100 feet underground and the lower one about 140 feet.
II Cow Run Sand.This sand, belonging at the top of the Pottsville series, 825 to 850 feet below the Pittsburgh coal, and correlating with the Homewood sandstone, has produced a large amount of oil both in Ohio and West Virginia. Its true correlation has been worked out in detail by the writer in its type locality at Cow Run, Washington county, Ohio, and published on pages 287-290 and 281-285 of the Wirt- Roane-Calhoun Report of the State Survey. It is frequently mistaken for the Salt sand, 25 to 50 feet lower in the measures, and many of the oil and gas shows reported by drillers in the latter horizon probably belong in the II Cow Run.
Historical Marker is located on Rt 7 just a couple of miles west of Kingwood. Nothing related to the Cow Run Sand to photograph nearby.
Same Marker - Side #2. Could use some TLC.
The marker is situated in a most UN-scenic location, right next to the garbage dumpster
[EDIT: This marker has been repainted and moved across the highway to a more "presentable" location.
Here are a few photos taken on 13 August 2011:

Latest phones for best video recording unveiled
14 April 2009 — 2:00 PM
LG, Nokia and Samsung can offer some of the best handsets around that feature video recording, it has been suggested.
In a recent article for PC Mag, the latest phones from all three of the manufacturers are highlighted as ideal for people who may be looking for such a device.
Those recycling mobile phones may be interested to hear for example that the LG Dare VX9700 is "fun to use" and capable of capturing slow-motion video.
Nokia's N82 and N995 8GB are also highlighted, as the former is praised as "among the best camera phones we've ever seen" and the latter "a good choice for anyone who wants a top-notch multimedia smartphone".
Elsewhere, the Samsung Memoir SGH-T929 and Omnia SCH-i910 are singled out as great options - as both can record at 30 fps.
LG's latest, the Arena KM900 claims to offer video recording and playback at DVD quality.

Hi guys. I have this html page with border top on the body:
body {
border-top: 6px solid #fff;
It appears ok in all browsers but in tried in iPad just for fun and it doesn't go along to all the width. Any idea why?
is this just on the right hand side? like a small gap?
I believe this is to do with mobile safari adding space for the scrollbar…
It is just on the right side but it's not all that small. It can be that issue, thanks for the tip.
The border-top problem wasn't the scrollbar, I had to add this meta:
Now I just have that small gap. It's not serious but I must ask: any solution for that?

Gets an official letter saying no to iron-ore mining
The boycott of statewide zilla parishad elections on February 7 by the residents of the tribal-dominated Korchi tehsil in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra has succeeded in shaking the administration out of its slumber. It has responded to the long-standing demands of the residents and given a written undertaking saying no clearance has been given to any mining project in the tehsil, and any unauthorised work will be dealt with sternly.
Following this, the poll boycott was withdrawn, and the tehsil voted on March 11.
The residents had boycotted the polls protesting the proposed iron mining in the Naxalite-affected region. Residents, majority of them farmers, contended that the mining will affect their livelihood and the environment.
"People were apprehensive about iron-ore projects in the area, but we informed them that no clearances had been given to iron-ore mines in the tehsil," says Durwesh Sonwane, sub-divisional officer (SDO) who also held a meeting with the residents on February 18. "There was also a lot of agitation about unauthorised work being carried out by some unknown people in the forests in the vicinity of Zendepar gram panchayat in connection with the project. We assured people that any unauthorised work will be dealt with sternly," he adds.
Sonwane, however, refused to comment on whether a written communication to this effect has been given, showing that administration, which had earlier insisted that the poll debacle was caused by a Naxal-related murder in Bhamragad in the same district, is still red-in-the-face over past events.
On the other hand, people's organisations operating in the area confirmed that an official letter was issued by SDO on February 18 to the effect. "Since the botched and inconclusive public hearing on Ajanta Minerals' setting up 68 hectare mining project in the area in September last year, there was a lot of tension because the project would have impacted 58 villages in the tehsil," says Nizamshah Katenge of the non-profit Amhi Amchya Arogyasathi (AAA). The February 18 letter came after several failed meetings between villagers and the authorities, during which the residents repeated demand for written information instead of verbal assurances, he adds.
Katenge informs that during the meeting, in which gram sabhas of affected villages Zendepar, Sohle and Nandli were present in full strength along with representatives from 18 other gram sabhas, a 26-member committee of residents and officials under the chairmanship of the tehsildar has been constituted. The committee will monitor any unauthorised mining-related work.
"However, in a written communication to the administration we have made it clear that the boycott is being withdrawn strictly on condition that no mining will be allowed in the tehsil. If a mining project is given clearance here, we will agitate again," he adds.

Hawaiian Airlines has committed to six Airbus A330-800neo aircraft, replacing its order for the Airbus A350-800.
The Honolulu-based carrier has signed a memorandum of understanding for six firm with purchase rights for another six A330-800neos with deliveries from 2019 with the European airframer, it says.
"The A330-800neo's fuel efficiency, additional range and commonality with our existing A330 fleet makes the A330-800neo an elegant solution to our need for growth aircraft toward the end of this decade," says Mark Dunkerley, president and chief executive of Hawaiian, in a statement.
Airbus launched the A330neo at the Farnborough air show earlier in July. The A330-800neo will be comparable in size to Hawaiian's existing A330-200s yet able to fly 400nm further with a range of 7,450nm and will burn about 14% less fuel per seat using Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines.
The A330-800neo order is valued at roughly $2.9 billion at list prices, the airline says.
Hawaiian's conversion to the A330neo leaves Airbus with just 28 firm orders for the A350-800, based on its most recent orders and deliveries. The airframer is widely expected to cancel the programme in favour of the larger A350-900 and -1000 variants.

Birmingham have signed former Wigan central defender Steven Caldwell on a free transfer.
The 30-year-old Scot, who made a total of 15 appearances for the Latics last season, becomes Blues' fifth Bosman signing of the summer following Marlon King, Chris Burke, Morgaro Gomis and Adam Rooney.
Recently-appointed City boss Chris Hughton is having to work within tight financial constraints as he looks to build a squad capable of an immediate return to the Premier League.
Although, with further faces tipped to follow Craig Gardner out of the door at St Andrew`s, Hughton may yet get funds to strengthen his squad with a host of players having been released by the club at the end of last term.
Caldwell arrives from the DW Stadium where he linked up with brother Gary on a one-year deal having previously played for Burnley, Sunderland and Newcastle - earning promotion to the top flight with both the Clarets in 2009 and Black Cats in 2005.

The 4 Best Things to Eat with Pinot Noir: A Winemaker's Pairing Picks
Maker Tour
Over the past couple of days, Jay McDonald of EIEIO & Co. Winery has led us through the vineyards of the Willamette Valley in Oregon and shown us the ropes on crafting Pinot Noir. A consummate entertainer, Jay now shares his culinary expertise on pairing food with the ever-versatile Pinot Noir. (Of course, he's slightly biased toward Pinot from Oregon!)
From Grape to Bottle: How Pinot Noir Wine Is Made In Oregon
Maker Tour
Who: Jay McDonald of EIEIO & Co. Winery
What: Small production boutique winery
Where: Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Willamette Valley, Oregon
As an intern with EIEIO & Co. Winery this past harvest, I experienced the frenetic energy and controlled chaos that is associated with small-production winemaking. Winemaker and owner Jay McDonald, along with only three assistants, amazingly cranks out the 1,500 cases that represent EIEIO's yearly production. By the end of my week's worth of work, I had not only shredded my abs, but I had gained a profound and personal appreciation of the work that goes into every bottle of wine.
We now know how EIEIO's Pinot Noir grapes are grown and harvested, but how do they become the sophisticated wine you enjoy in a glass? Here's what I learned:
From Ground to Grape: How Pinot Noir is Grown and Harvested in Oregon
Maker Tour
Who: Jay McDonald of EIEIO & Co. Winery
What: Small production boutique winery
Where: Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Willamette Valley, Oregon
One of the most rewarding experiences you can have is the understanding and the following amazement of truly discovering where your favorite things come from. These answers are sometimes shocking and, at times, much more complex than you had initially imagined. In a culture evermore concerned with the origins of our consumables, it is only logical to wonder where your wine comes from. How does it progress from the vineyard to your glass?
Pondering these questions led me to spend this last harvest season working with EIEIO & Co., a small, independent,1,500-case production winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley, led by winemaker Jay McDonald. In a 3-part series, I'll explore just how this region's Pinot Noir comes to be, starting with how the grapes are grown and harvested:
Why You Should Be Drinking More Argentine Malbec
As roasting and braising season is drawing to a close, and grilling season is fast approaching, the versatility of Argentina's most famous grape, Malbec, becomes ever apparent. As a wine professional, I am frequently asked questions, such as, "I like Cabernet, and they like Pinot Noir. Is there a wine we can all agree upon?" or, "I want a bold red that's not too dry. What do you suggest?" Very often, the answer to both of those questions is Argentine Malbec.
Can a Silver Spoon Keep Champagne Bubbly? I Decided to Find Out.
The task has been undertaken before, but I wanted to find out for myself: Will a silver spoon in an open bottle of bubbly keep it bubbly?
Drawing on my memory of middle school science projects, I designed the perfect experiment, then invited several participants (a.k.a. people I wanted to hang out and drink wine with). This was a lot more fun than my projects in seventh grade, and I didn't even have to make a poster to share our findings! Several bottles (and spoons) later, here's what we discovered about this old trick. It may shock you.

6 Essentials for the Perfect Mimosa
You may think that crafting a mimosa requires nothing more than simply splashing cheap bubbly wine into orange juice, but if you take a little extra time, source quality ingredients, and embrace a creative spirit, you can very easily take this brunch staple to the next level.
Bordeaux, Meritage, Super Tuscan & Claret: Do You Know the Difference?
As a sommelier in a steakhouse, I hear much commentary about red blends, but it seems as though there is a lot of confusion surrounding this style of wine and its various manifestations. The first thing to consider is that most red wines are blended in some percentage. In California, for example, in order to be labeled as "Cabernet Sauvignon," only 75% of the grapes officially need to be that varietal. Granted, there are many famous styles of red blends from around the world, but for this particular piece, let's focus on those Bordeaux in style.
What's the difference between all these blends — and how does that affect how you shop for wine?
How To Make Vin d'Orange
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Vin d'orange is a delicious, refreshing, and slightly bitter (but not too bitter!) fortified orange wine that's easy to make at home. It does require you to move fast, though, as Seville oranges — the primary ingredient for vin d'orange — are just in season a short while from December to the end of February. Hurry up! It's worth it!
5 Wines to Drink With Spicy Asian Food
Despite the prevailing notion that spicy foods are difficult to pair with wine, I set the stage with some fiery Asian cuisine and decided to put the theory to the test. This quest was prompted by an annual project that happens at my house. Over the summer, we dry, crush, and blend our garden's various chili peppers. The result is a potent and flavorful source of heat that I would usually quench with a good pilsner or a margarita, but rules must be broken.

This time, security cameras at a church pre-school caught the twister plowing through playground premises in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Surveillance video captured the storm in action on April 28th.The camera lost color but was rolling the whole time, even though it was getting pummeled by debris and strong winds.
Remarkably, some things on the playground remained intact. Even the slide somehow survived! The twister cut a 24-mile track through the city.

Part of that is knowing when and where NOT to ride, part is being aware, and part is being paranoid.
It really bugs me that people think its ok to expect a crash every year or two or whatever, or that there was nothing they could do to prevent one.
I seems to me that the accidents that the rider could really not have done anything about are VERY rare.
I suppose a police chase is a different thing, I have only BEEN chased.
Around here, 99.9% of traffic stops are used to generate money, no reason to run a risk....
They are very happy to up the fine and lower the points.
You are reading into things a bit and being a bit too literal with my statement. Having worked many motorcycle accident scenes professionally, I can say first hand that most are operator error and could have been avoided. So I believe you are correct. I also don't think anyone should expect to crash or be ok with it, and therefore should do everything in their power to being a better more prepared rider.
My point was that there are times when things aren't avoidable. Even more specific, a series of events begins to happen and a person is unable to compute the data and respond appropriately in the time frame provided and the outcome is sometimes unavoidable. This could be a deer running out in from of you, or a car pulling out, or as simple as hitting a oil spot on the road. There are far too many variables to predict every thing that will happen during any given ride to always be prepared. In the OPs case, simply changing the trajectory of his bike merely inches could have allowed him to walk away with nothing more than scratches, or killed him. Or maybe not. But he did what he was able to do at the time.
I made the statement about those who have crashed and those that will to make a point only. If any of us really believed we will be in a major accident every so often I'd bet most of us wouldn't be riding. The thing is we all need to realize that we aren't bulletproof and things CAN happen no matter how prepared you attempt to be.
I hope that all makes sense. Either way, shit happens. I should also mention, that in my accident I crashed because I became distracted. There were no other vehicles around. I was about 20 miles from another living human to my knowledge. I believe I'm a pretty experienced rider with lots of various training in different types of riding. I would also like to believe I was prepared and had an out or wasn't riding over my head. The reality is a series of minor things snowballed before I knew what the hell happened and was able to respond. Despite my best efforts in trying to regain control, I was bouncing across pavement and then into trees before I knew it. What's odd is I've been on that road too many times to count and have pushed bikes through way worse scenerios numerous times without issue. That time gravity won. So plan to have an out, but it doesn't always work as planned.

Quick App: QWERTY 5-Row Keyboard for Jailbreak
Tired of hitting the 123 key to toggle on the numeric keyboard? Well, obviously some ingenious iPhone hacker was and whipped up this interesting little Jailbreak app to change the standard 4-row virtual keyboard into a five row with numbers surfaced right on top (or symbols, if you tap the shift key).
Want to grab it? Gizmodo (via iPhone Hacks) says you can find it under "5-Row QWERTY Keyboard" in Cydia"
Should Apple consider changing their own virtual keyboard to be more like this 5-row? Or are the keys on the 4-row already small enough?
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

Quick App: QWERTY 5-Row Keyboard for Jailbreak
I already have annoying issues when pressing the delete button and hitting the (m) key and when pressing space , i hit the (v or b) key. The keys are too close together on that hack.
I installed this and due to having Clippy installed (I think) - it didnt work + quite a few others on another forum have had problems with it... I tried removing it and there are still parts of it left (eg when pressing the globe button 5 row QWERTY flashes up still meaning a couple of button presses to get into the emoji), also in the settings there is still the settings option for it (even though it is meant to be uninstalled)...
WORST of all tho...! Clippy NO LONGER WORKS!! :(:( Ive tried reinstalling it and its still not working... I'm worried I'm going to have to reset my iPhone and rejailbreak, install apps again, set up everything...
You bit the apple you now deal with the lack of support!
@ Neil,
I am not having any issues with Clippy after installing the 5 Row Keyboard.
The only issue is that I cant use custom keyboards via winterboard.
but clippy works fine for me.
I just wished you could modify the keys.. It is missing ? in the 5th row, & it is a little annoying...
I love it for typing passwords that have numbers in it.
There is a button, that is locate on the keyboard layout, to switch between keyboards when you got more than one enabled too, so its not to hard to go back to regular English one.
Developer should definitely provide users option to modify/edit/customize the 5th row. I think its a brilliant idea, but I mean who the hell uses @#$%^&*() all that often? If we could customize that row, it would be AWESOME!

American golden plover
|American golden plover
|Scientific classification
|P. dominica
|Binomial name
|Pluvialis dominica
(Statius Muller, 1776)
Pluvialis dominica dominica
The American golden plover (Pluvialis dominica) is a medium-sized plover.
Adults are spotted gold and black on the crown, back and wings. Their face and neck are black with a white border; they have a black breast and a dark rump. The legs are black.
It is similar to two other golden plovers, Eurasian and Pacific. The American golden plover is smaller, slimmer and relatively longer-legged than European golden plover (Pluvialis apricaria) which also has white axillary (armpit) feathers. It is more similar to Pacific golden plover (Pluvialis fulva) with which it was once considered conspecific under the name "lesser golden plover".[2] The Pacific golden plover is slimmer than the American species, has a shorter primary projection, and longer legs, and is usually yellower on the back.
These birds forage for food on tundra, fields, beaches and tidal flats, usually by sight. They eat insects and crustaceans, also berries.
The breeding habitat of American golden plover is Arctic tundra from northern Canada and Alaska. They nest on the ground in a dry open area. They are migratory and winter in southern South America. They follow an elliptical migration path; northbound birds pass through Central America about January–April[3] and stage in great numbers in places like Illinois before their final push north. In fall, they take a more easterly route, flying mostly over the western Atlantic and Caribbean Sea to the wintering grounds in Patagonia. The bird has one of the longest known migratory routes of over 25,000 mi (40,000 km). Of this, 2,400 mi (3,900 km) is over open ocean where it cannot stop to feed or drink. It does this from body fat stores that it stocks up on prior to the flight. It is a regular vagrant to western Europe.
A comparison of dates and migratory patterns leads to the conclusion that Eskimo curlews and American golden plovers were the most likely shore birds to have attracted the attention of Christopher Columbus to nearby America in early October 1492, after 65 days at sea out of sight of land.[4]
Large numbers were shot in the late 19th century and the population has never fully recovered.

Palestinian refugees displaced from Syrian protest outside UNRWA headquarters in Beirut on Wednesday Jan. 2, 2013. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Palestinian refugees displaced from Syria carried out protests outside the offices of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in both Beirut and south Lebanon.
Around 50 protesters gathered outside the U.N. agency in the Cite Sportive, Beirut, and urged UNRWA to provide shelter for them and secure their necessities for everyday living.
They held banners that read "We need money, medication, food and housing to shelter Palestinian refugees coming from Syria."
The banners were signed by the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas.
Meanwhile dozens of Palestinians protested outside the UNRWA headquarters in the southern city of Sidon, in response to a call by Hamas for refugees to claim their demands.
"The UNRWA should provide shelter to the displaced [Palestinians]," said Hamas spokesperson in Lebanon, Khaled Zeaiter.
Zeaiter said that UNRWA wasn't paying any attention to the displaced Palestinians who came from the Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria and was failing to offer them any help.
After battles between the Assad regime and rebels in the war-torn Syria spilled into the Yarmouk refugee camp outside Damascus, more than 2,800 Palestinians fled to Lebanon.
Some of the displaced returned home after the fighters said they would keep battles away from Yarmouk. However, others remained in Lebanon voicing concern about the possibility of clashes erupting again in the camp.
Before the Yarmouk clashes, around 10,000 Palestinians had come from Syria to Lebanon since the beginning of violence in Syria.
Meanwhile, UNRWA argues that it lacks sufficient resources to secure the needs of the newcomers.

Cyprus is a small Island country and part of the European Union. This country has been well-known for its tourism and had been thriving in a relatively secure fashion till date. Cyprus also has lax banking regulations which has always attracted outside investment, especially from countries like Russia and Greece.
The problem started with the financial meltdown in Greece. Due to heavy exposure to the Greek Sovereign, Cypriot banks now face insolvency. A large number of Greek organisations have borrowed from Cyprus, drawing heavily on its large deposit amounts. While, it has always been rumored that Cyrus was a hotspot for money laundering through illegal means, the country had a strong banking sector, which was proportionately bigger than its economy. Currently, the banks have been unable to pay their debts due to the Greek financial crisis and partly due to its laid-back attitude towards its fiscal policy.
The European central bank and the IMF have proposed to bailout Cyprus provided that the country can formulate some concrete legislation to prevent another future incident. This clause was undertaken by the EU because of the fact that Cypriot economic crisis could impact EU stability, however small the impact may be. Among the new legislation passed by the Cypriot parliament, it has been proposed that the government will levy a certain amount as a one-time tax on anyone who has an account with a bank in Cyprus. This proposal has caused severe opposition, not only among the Cypriot citizens, but also among foreign nationals who have sunk vast sums into the Cypriot banking sector.
The current crisis has already caused waves in the EU economy, as the Euro fell against the dollar over the week. However, the Euro has bounced back and financial stability seems imminent in the EU. The Cypriot government has been granted a deadline of March 25th to come up with a suitable plan regarding their fiscal policy that will guarantee the bailout from the EU financiers. Already Cypriot citizens have flooded banks and ATMs to see if their funds have been withdrawn to save Cyprus. This has forced the government to declare an emergency closure of all banks until Monday.
If the Cyprus government passes the legislation to levy tax on the account holders, it will result in a great loss for the citizens of this country. However, if Cyprus refuses to tax the citizens and refuse the bailout money, provided by the IMF, it stands to lose its place in the Euro bloc and revert back to its individual currency. This will result in a severe degeneration of the Cypriot economy and may cause the government to build the economy from scratch. Either way, the citizens have a tough couple of years to look forward to.
The only other option is if the Eu bloc extends funds in a friendly way that may not require the heavy tax levy that has been proposed. Already Russia has agreed to extend a loan to the Cypriot government as a symbol of goodwill and has already established that it will continue to be Cyprus' ally throughout this ordeal. Hopefully, this will soon blow over and the Cypriot government can magically turn this situation into a win for all involved.

It's the battle for the Kalona/Wellman area tonight as Mid-Prairie and IMS soccer play in the second round of the playoffs tonight.
The Mid-Prairie softball team opened its season with a win Tuesday night, topping Clear Creek Amana 4-3 in Kalona. The Golden Hawks got on the board first, in the first, when Mallory McArtor opened the game with a ringing double and came home on an Emma Troyer sac fly. Clear Creek would tie the game with a single tally in the third only to see the Golden Hawks push two across in their half of the frame. Michelle Erwin walked and came in on a Mallory McArtor triple. Mariah Swartzentruber then drove in McArtor with an RBI single. Following the game Head Coach Justin Lutjen spoke about his team's performance and their ability to face down adversity in the first game of the year.
"A lot of up and a lot of downs, we walk away with a lot of things that we can work on, but we can walk away with a lot of things that are positives in the game. We had some at bats that we were swinging at balls that we shouldn't be, and we're missing some good sticks in the lineup, but we're deep enough where that shouldn't bother us any night, so I'm just proud of the girls, they fought and they scratched and it was just one of those games that could have gone either way, but like I was telling the girls after the game, luck favors the prepared," Lutjen said.
The Clippers would tie things again in the fifth with two runs. Clear Creek started the inning with three consecutive hits chasing Golden Hawk starter Olivia Lugar. Taylor Kurtz came on in relief for the Golden Hawks holding Clear Creek where they were for the final inning and two thirds. The Golden Hawks would walk off in bizarre fashion in the seventh off the bat of Erwin. Erwin dropped down a bunt for a base hit that was fielded by the Clipper third baseman who airmailed the throw to first. The ball bounded all the way to the fence while Erwin continued speeding around the bases, scoring easily to win the game. After the game Erwin talked about her last at bat and how the game ended.
"I've been working on the drag bunting for quite a while now, it is something that I did a couple of years ago, and I'm kind of trying to bring it back, we've just been trying to lay one down and move the runners around and use it to our advantage," Erwin said. "We do base running everyday, it probably takes a good 20 minutes of our practice, and that is just a routine thing we do every day, and I saw Kelsey telling me to go and I looked at [Lutjen] on third as I was going to second and he kept swinging his arm, so I ran to three and after that I went home."
Kurtz recorded the win in relief for Mid-Prairie throwing an inning and two thirds of shut out ball, allowing two hits and striking out two. Offensively the Golden Hawks were led by McArtor, who doubled, tripled, drove in one and scored twice. Swartzentruber and Troyer each added an RBI. Mid-Prairie is 1-0 on the season, the Hawks will next be in action next Tuesday against Durant

Adaptation and Natural Selection: A Critique of Some Current Evolutionary…

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0691026157, Paperback)
Biological evolution is a fact--but the many conflicting theories of evolution remain controversial even today. In 1966, simple Darwinism, which holds that evolution functions primarily at the level of the individual organism, was threatened by opposing concepts such as group selection, a popular idea stating that evolution acts to select entire species rather than individuals. George Williams's famous argument in favor of the Darwinists struck a powerful blow to those in opposing camps. His Adaptation and Natural Selection, now a classic of science literature, is a thorough and convincing essay in defense of Darwinism; its suggestions for developing effective principles for dealing with the evolution debate and its relevance to many fields outside biology ensure the timelessness of this critical work.

For Mike Graham, what started as an aggravation of an old football injury led to a number of failed spinal fusion surgeries before doctors decided to implant a pump to regularly release doses of morphine to try to ease his chronic pain.
Instead, the high-powered opiate combined with other prescription drugs left him feeling worse. The 50-year-old from Manteno had heard marijuana could provide relief, but he was hesitant to seek it out given the long line of police officers in his family. He eventually gave pot a try, saying he desperately wanted to spend more time with his children.
"In a matter of days, I started to feel better. I could keep food down," Graham said. "I thought, 'Oh, boy, what am I going to say at Thanksgiving?' But then they noticed that I could eat, so they knew something was up. ... I hadn't been there the three previous years because I wasn't able to get out of bed."
Graham was one of dozens of supporters on hand Thursday at the University of Chicago Center for Care and Discovery as Gov. Pat Quinn signed the state's medical marijuana bill into law, with Illinois joining 19 other states and the District of Columbia that have legalized cannabis for patient use.
The decision by Illinois leaders to take the plunge on medical marijuana after decades of resistance will unfold amid concerns that stretch from law enforcement officials who fear unused pot will be sold illegally to anti-drug educators who worry about the mixed message the law sends to kids to suburban zoning boards who'd rather pot shops not pop up on Main Street.
There will be plenty of time for such issues to be aired.
The law, which sets up a four-year trial program, doesn't take effect until Jan. 1. After that, state regulators will spend months coming up with rules spelling out who gets to open the 22 marijuana growing operations across Illinois, which businesses get the 60 licenses to sell the finished product and how patients will get medical marijuana cards from doctors. Then a panel of state lawmakers will decide whether the regulations are drawn tightly enough.
By the time that plays out, crops are grown and the pot stores open, it could be fall 2014 before those afflicted with one of 40 or so medical conditions can legally toke up to ease their pain.
But the long lead time is not stopping the legalized marijuana industry from descending on Chicago in three weeks for a "cannabusiness symposium."
There'll be how-to panels, tips on dealing with the government and, of course, networking opportunities — more big business than the peace-and-love image the less-successful push to legalize recreational use of marijuana calls to mind.
When those with a medical marijuana card are legally able to get the product, they'll be allowed up to 2.5 ounces every two weeks. That's about enough to fill two small plastic sandwich bags. They'll also be able to buy it baked into brownies, muffins, croutons and trail bars. And they can expect to pay taxes on their pot purchases. In Colorado, patients pay $80 and above for an ounce of medical marijuana, choosing from varieties with names like "Jack Flash," "Sour Diesel" and "LA Kush."
Illinois restrictions
But unlike Colorado, which has come under fire for lax marijuana regulations even as the state gets ready to legalize recreational pot use next year, drafters of Illinois' law say it will be among the toughest in the nation.
Patients here can't grow their own pot and must have an existing relationship with a prescribing doctor. To qualify, patients must be diagnosed with a serious to chronic illness laid out in the law, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma or HIV. It's likely that patients would have to pay out of pocket for marijuana, as it is not typically covered by insurance companies.
The Illinois Department of Public Health will be in charge of issuing medical marijuana cards to patients and their caregivers, who could purchase and administer pot on behalf of those who are ill. Patients and caregivers would be fingerprinted, undergo background checks and must promise not to sell or give away marijuana. Workers at grow centers and dispensaries will undergo the same vetting.
The state will license 22 growers, one for each State Police district, as well as up to 60 dispensing centers to be spread across the state. Exactly where those growers and sellers could locate will be up to state regulators. Local communities could enforce strict zoning laws, but they could not prevent a grower or dispensary from setting up shop in town.
Growers and dispensaries will be charged a 7 percent "privilege tax," which will be used to enforce the medical marijuana law. Patients will be charged a 1 percent tax for purchasing pot, the same rate that applies to pharmaceuticals. Additionally, growers and dispensaries would be banned from donating to political campaigns.
Marijuana use would be banned in public, in vehicles, around minors and near school grounds. Property owners would have the ability to ban marijuana use on their grounds. Employers would maintain their rights to a drug-free work place, meaning someone with a valid medical marijuana card could be fired for using the drug if their employer prohibits it.
Advocates argue that Illinois' law is drafted tightly enough to prevent intervention from the federal government, which classifies all marijuana use as illegal. But the discrepancy between state and national law is already causing concerns for some military veterans, as federally run veterans hospitals say their doctors won't issue prescriptions for illegal drugs.
Legislators tried to get around that prohibition by providing a loophole in the law that would allow veterans to receive a prescription for pot from someone other than the primary care provider, but advocates say the federal government's stance prevents veterans from having honest conversations about the possible benefits of medical marijuana.

Brasilia — Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, admitted yesterday that it will be great to have Nigeria and Algeria in the quarter final for the first time after the other three African teams, Ghana, Cameroun and Cote d' Ivoire crashed out in the group stage of the World Cup here in Brazil.
Speaking ahead of Nigeria's crucial Round of 16 clash with 1998 champions, France, in Brasilia today, Keshi insisted that it will be great for him and the Super Eagles to defeat Les Bleus to book the quarter final berth. "It will be great for us and Algeria to do Africa proud, making it into the quarter final. For me and the boys, it will be a great honour achieving this first for Nigeria at the World Cup," observed the 2013 African Coach of the Year.
Keshi however stressed that the match will not be an easy one. "Haven played in Strasbourg, I know the French team. They are a very good side, with a lot of experience players. I have a lot of respect for Didier Deschamps, their coach. That however does not mean that my players will not go out there on the field and do their job." Unlike in the team's last Group F game with Argentina where Eagles paid so much respect to the Albeceleste in the first half, the former Togo and Mali gaffer said there will be no such thing today.
"My players play in the same league with majority of the French players and there will be no fear of any kind. After playing Lionel Messi and the rest of the Argentine super stars, who is there for us to be scared of in the French team?," queried Keshi who is desirous of becoming the first coach to lead Nigeria into the quarter finals of the World Cup to match the achievements of Ghana, Cameroun and Senegal. Influential member of the team, John Mikel Obi, who accompanied Keshi to the briefing yesterday, admitted that Eagles indeed missed Thursday scheduled training at their Vitoria Hotel base in Campinas as a result of issues bordering on appearance fee as reported by THISDAY last Saturday.
"Yes, we didn't train as scheduled because we had to sort out a little issue concerning money. It was not a major matter, We have since put that behind us now and focused on the game with France on Monday. We have been training since arriving here in Brasilia. Everyone is motivated. The minister (of Sports, Dr Tammy Danagogo) even had launch with us this afternoon to tell you that there is no more problem and that we are in the mood to get the result needed to put us in the quarter final," stressed the Chelsea stalwart. Both Keshi and Mikel congratulated captain of the team, Joseph Yobo who will be marking his centenary appearance for Nigeria's senior team against France this afternoon. "On behalf of the team, we are congratulating Yobo for the 100 caps. He remains an inspiration for us in the Super Eagles. We wish him more years of appearance for Nigeria. For me personally, I am looking forward to emulating him in the senior national team some day," concludes Mikel.

Tiber Dam
Tiber Dam is a zoned earthfill structure located on the Marias River, approximately 20 miles southwest of Chester, Montana. The dam has a crest width of 30 feet, a crest length of 4,300 feet, and structural height of 211 feet. The upstream face is protected by a 3-foot layer of riprap and is sloped at 3:1. a zone of previous material consisting of selected sand, gravel and cobbles, covers the downstream face. A 1977 Safety of Dams modification raised the dam crest 5 feet to an elevation of 3,026.00 feet above sea-level. Total reservoir storage capacity is 1,555,898 acre-feet at an elevation of 3,020.20 feet.
An earthfill dike occupies a saddle on the south rim of the reservoir near the dam embankment. This dike has a crest width of 25 feet, a crest length of 17,000 feet, and a maximum structural height of 60 feet. The upstream face is protected by a 3-toot layer of riprap, while the downstream face is grass covered and has an intermediate 10-foot-wide-berm.
Tiber Dam was originally constructed from 1951 to 1956. Because of excessive spillway settlement, the spillway was diked off and an auxiliary outlet works was constructed from 1967 to 1969. To restore the original operational functions, a construction contract for rehabilitating the spillway was issued in 1976 for completion in 1979, followed by a second contract for raising the dam and dike 5 feet during a construction period between 1979 and 1981.Both abutments of Tiber Dam are located in the Telegraph Creek Formation that is composed of gypsiferous, poorly cemented sandstone and firm shale. Both formations are of Upper Cretaceous Age. Glacial till, loess and terrace deposits of Holocene Age can be found on top of the Marias River Valley Walls covering sandstone or shale deposits.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Continuing his critically acclaimed survey of Mahler's works, Markus Stenz brings together no fewer than five renowned choral ensembles from Bonn and Cologne for this recording.
... very well sung by Michaela Schuster... Stenz... marshals the members of five different choruses to very fine effect in this recording, creating a warm and focused sound picture... Musically, this is a sensitive and, yes, elegant performance, with warm and fully committed playing by the Gürzenich-Orchester Köln that pulls listeners along through intense drama, to mildness and uncertainty, to an eventual feeling of relief and joyous affirmation. Surely those are the valleys and peaks through which Mahler wanted his audiences to journey.

Univision continues attacks against Cuban American Sen. Marco Rubio
After yet another attack against the Cuban American senator from Florida, it appears the folks over at Univision will just not let go of Marco Rubio. This vendetta and the attacks it generates goes back years, ever since Sen. Rubio committed the unpardonable sin for a Hispanic in the U.S.: being a conservative. And as his popularity rises, Univision gets more nervous and more vitriolic.
Via the Miami Herald's Naked Politics blog:
In another attack on Marco Rubio, Univision worker takes partisan Facebook whacks at "loser" Republican
A top assistant to an Univision news boss trashed Sen. Marco Rubio on the Facebook page of the Republican's aide, raising new questions about possible pro-Democratic, anti-Rubio bias inside the powerful Spanish-language network's Doral headquarters.
The latest incident began Wednesday night after Rubio's spokesman, Alex Burgos, announced the high-profile Florida senator would give the GOP's first-ever bilingual rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union speech.
That led Univision employee Angelica Artiles to let loose a string of partisan criticisms.
"Oh. wow, the loser is going to speak after our President," Artiles wrote on spokesman Alex Burgos' Facebook page at 9:33 p.m. Wednesday. "Anything to get publicity. Ask him to do us a favor and stay home that night."
Sentiments like that reflect the prevailing political feeling among Univision's higher ups at its Doral headquarters, Univision insiders have told The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald for more than a year. Artiles is executive assistant to Daniel Coronell, Univision's vice president of news.
The network is owned by a major Democratic donor who has accused Rubio and other Republicans of having an "anti-Hispanic" stand on immigration that's "despicable."
In August, someone used Univision's official Facebook account to attack Rubio during the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
"Beyond his ideology, Rubio is a mediocre politician who contradicts the values he says he represents. Jeb Bush is more Latino and talented than him," the Facebook posting said.When first alerted by the website BuzzFeed, Univision announced it struck the statement and replaced it with a statement in Spanish that translates, "An unpleasant comment not authorized by Univision News was posted on this page. That comment does not represent the views of Univision News and we have taken steps to ensure that this situation does not happen again."

Proceedings online
We apologize for the delay, but the proceedings from the conference is now starting to appear online. They can be found here
Closing summary
The Emergency Preparedness and Rehabilitation session addressed the importance of a good system for radiological protection in emergency situations and the need for subsequent countermeasures.
Many research projects, decision aiding tools and revised international recommendations aiming at a better response to accidents were presented. Sophisticated models covered the radiological assessment of marine, terrestrial, freshwater and urban environments.
Accident scenarios included malevolent acts from disaffected groups which poses new challenges. It is important to learn from the past, and remember that some accidents can cause the need for long-term follow up and management, possibly for decades. The important involvement of affected groups in the elaboration of a management strategy should not be forgotten.
When performing Risk Assessments, there are a range of parameters that feed into the process. All these parameters are associated with uncertainties. The uncertainties have to be addressed in an appropriate manner and communicated to the regulators and the public.
Due to the current knowledge gaps, we are using conservative estimates, applying safety factors and the system of reference organisms. To improve our models in order to make more realistic assessments, new and/or refined research data are needed. Nevertheless, such assessments can be a useful tool to predict consequences of our actions and can be used for the protection of both humans and non-human biota, for new practices or legacies of the past.
Some of the models presented, are aimed at Protection of the Environment, another important session of this conference. During this week we have seen proofs that radiation induces responses in plants and animals even at very low doses. Whether these responses are harmful or not, we do not know yet. The uncertainties are even bigger if you try to extrapolate from individuals to a population or ecosystem level, and multiple stressors are complicating the picture even more. More research is needed in this field to reduce uncertainties and improve parameter values.
There is ongoing work to develop regulatory systems for the protection of non-human biota and continuous national work to adapt international recommendations to local situations.
We have seen this week the need for research, tools, regulations and international cooperation in order to protect the environment and humans to an adequate level, based on scientific evidence, for existing situations and for the future.
We hope this conference has inspired you to continue your scientific work, that you have made new contacts and helped you to see your work in a broader context.
We feel the conference has brought together the larger community in radioecology, radiation protection and related scientific fields. The mix of scientists, regulators, industry and members from international organisations has been very positive and reflects the societal reality.
Closure notes from the conference.
Further summary and recommendations from the conference will be posted on the web site in August.

PARTNERSHIPS between Rural District Councils (RDCs) and mining companies are vital for rural development, a Cabinet Minister has said. Local Government, Rural and Urban Development Minister Ignatius Chombo said such partnerships are important for the country to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and improve service delivery by local authorities.
Minister Chombo made the remarks while officially handing over 32 boreholes worth more than US$130 000 drilled by Zimplats for the Mhondoro-Ngezi RDC.
Minister Chombo also unveiled road maintenance equipment for Mhondoro-Ngezi RDC at the same event at Mamina Growth Point.
"The primary role of local authorities is to provide basic municipal and social services to local citizenry," he said.
"Key services such as providing portable water and roads are important for the needy communities.
"Most RDCs have embarked on a robust re-capitalisation drive that includes procurement of motorised graders, tractors and lorries among other vital equipment necessary for rural development."
Minister Chombo said local authorities were burdened throughout the country.
"Partnerships with mining companies that extract wealth from different areas must yield tangible results such as providing rural areas with portable water and good roads since it increases the rate of rural development," he said.
Minister Chombo said Zimplats' gesture complemented the Government's US$50 million Water and Sanitation programme that was launched in Tsholotsho recently.
"The inventory had estimated that 75 percent of hand pumps in the country are not functioning, which was exacerbated by debilitating economic challenges that befell the country," Minister Chombo said.
He commended Mhondoro-Ngezi RDC for purchasing equipment including motorised graders, tractors, dumper trucks, an ambulance and pick up trucks after splitting from Kadoma RDC.
Mashonaland West Governor Cde Faber Chidarikire said the equipment purchased by the council are a testimony of the hardworking leadership in the province's local authorities.
Mhondoro-Ngezi legislator Cde Bright Matonga said improvement of local authorities pave way for localisation of sanitary and basic services villagers access after travelling for long distances.
"Having a council office in the proximity is localisation of Government's activities," he said.
"This will work hand in hand with the rural electrification programme which will improve rural clinics to poly-clinic levels."
Zimplats chief operating officer Mr Stanley Segula said Zimplats will continue ploughing back into the community to improve existing relations and livelihood of the rural people.
"Access to clean water for the local community which previously travelled longer distances is the ultimate aim," he said.
"Zimplats will continue providing materials to District Development Fund (DDF) that has technical support."
Mr Segula said by the end of the year, six more boreholes will be drilled in the Chegutu area.

Male Vice Principal Paddles Teen Female Students, Causing "Burns" and "Blisters"
It turns out using a paddle to punish students is not ancient history. A male school administrator is being questioned after he spanked a 15-year-old female student. Taylor Santos allegedly was caught letting another student copy her homework at Springtown High School. The school district near Fort Worth, Texas allows corporal punishment, so instead of the two-day suspension, Santos opted for the paddle.
Parents can decide whether they want this punishment used on their children, but in this case, the mother agreed if it was okay with her daughter. The rule is that only a teacher or administrator of the same sex can allow the spanking.
According to her mom, the male vice principal hit Santos until her backside was "fire-engine red with burns
and blisters." Santos' mom said on ABC's Good Morning America, "Men are too big and strong to be hitting 96 pound girls."

Another female student was reportedly paddled by the same male vice principal. This student was a grade older and both girls have proof of their marks. The other student's mother said on GMA, "A swat is a swat, yes it is, and they do sting. But to bruise a child? […] Two men giving her a swat behind closed doors -- that is creepy."
Both moms call this "legalized child abuse" and say that if they did that to their own daughters, child protective services would be on their doorsteps. Trace Gallagher reports that 31 states have abolished corporal punishment, but 19 states still allow it. The Supreme Court says it's legal unless local authorities outlaw it.
While these particular cases raise many concerns, the issue being raised by the superintendent is whether Springtown should change the rule to allow male faculty to hit female students with a paddle.

There are other fantastic festivals up and down the country, but none of them come close to beating the Eavis family's spectacular. What makes Worthy Farm so special? And how can the organisers of Reading, Isle Of Wight, V et al replicate Glastonbury's success? Fresh from another brilliant weekend, I've got a few ideas...
When recounting their experience, anyone who has ever had the pleasure of interviewing Sir Paul McCartney will reveal the one agonising thought that whirled through their mind as they began their preparations: where do I start?
Albini has a long history as a vehement critic of the music industry. His seminal 1993 essay Stereolab a gentle poke, attacks the industry's coercion of bands into believing they must sign opaque contracts at all costs
Anybody building a career anywhere in the arts or communications should have at least a topline look at Twitch with an uncynical eye because nobody - absolutely nobody - is communicating with their fanbase on the same level as these streamers.
Year on year, the amount of time set aside to covering Glastonbury seems to increase. The Worthy Farm extravaganza also seemed to appear in every news bulletin. Undoubtedly it is the UK's most famous music festival, but that is all it is. A music festival. Singers performing on a stage in front of thousands of people is not a news item.
As I survey the place one last time to see if we've left anything crucial behind, I notice that all the bars of chocolate are still sitting, untouched, in the fridge. After a quick glance around, I shrug and stuff them into my bag. There you are, Fink touring party. I've confessed. It was me.
Clearly, promoters and venue owners who embrace accessibility are attracting a whole new audience, eager to join their friends and share their passion. In fact, these days, I hardly recognise anybody on the viewing platforms - which is perhaps the ultimate sign of progress.
Imagine Beats 1 radio reaches an audience of 10m. Does one play of Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' on Beats 1, heard by 10m people, generate the same revenue as 10m individual streams of the same song on Apple Music? What's the download equivalent? Just ask Taylor.
As great enthusiast for London's theatreland, West End Live is a treasure trove filled to the brim with amazing performances, exclusive theatre experiences and all-round good fun. I go every year to see the shows I love, shows I need tickets for and maybe find out a few I don't.
Saturday night headliners kicked off with Andrew W.K on Third. A packed crowd worked themselves into a frenzy before his arrival, like toddlers overdosing on Haribo. Inflatables appeared, chants of 'we want fun!' rang out.
The sheer power of music and the way it can affect people in such a positive way is never better demonstrated than when you watch the therapists from the charity Nordoff Robbins at work. The charity uses the power of music to treat children and adults with all kinds of difficulties ranging from autism to dementia and they have been transforming lives for decades. The techniques created by the founders Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins can be a way of communicating for those who have trouble doing so and it has proved to have many benefits both physical and mental.
You're probably reading this post on a computer or mobile device via a vibrant glow emitted by the screen. So readily available to many of us, light and power only becomes evident in their unexpected absence - the frustration of dead batteries, power outages and darkness. Yet for 622million people in Africa, energy poverty is the norm. Home to one-sixth of the world's population, Africa receives only 4% of the world's energy supply... Inspired by my own childhood I knew that we could electrify Africa now, and we could do it quickly.
@Stikmatik, one of North London's most prolific producers, describes his sound as a blend of "DnB, desi, Hip Hop, RnB, Folk, Grime and Dub all wrapped into a secret formula". He displays his versatility with his latest offering, 'Heaven' h.o.t.h Remix. Need a hot track as well as a remix? Stikmatik is your guy.
So. Artwork designed for the sleeves of Sex Pistols records 'Anarchy in the UK' and 'Never Mind the Bollocks' are now being featured on Virgin Money credit cards. The age-old cry of 'punk is dead!' has gone out across the internet...
I became interested in different bird calls a few years ago while sitting outside at night listening to tawny owls calling to one another - it really sounds like a long distance conversation from tree to tree.
Charlie Dore, singer, songwriter, actress and multi-instrumentalist, brings her tour (in support of Milk Roulette, her most recent album) to The Pheasantry, King's Road, on Wednesday 17th June. It's a chance to watch a master songwriter in an up-close-and-intimate Central London venue.

Well, for the most part, we don't get many /technical/ questions at WEF.
It's more of an Free / Libre / Open Source Software promotion event than
a technical demo. :)
And if techy people who happen to be at WEF wander by, there'll no doubt be
other booth staffers who can answer questions that are over your head. :)
