CHICAGO (AP) — After losing 101 games this season, the Chicago Cubs say they are lowering the cost for season ticket holders by an average of 2 percent.
Tickets for the bleachers and the reserved seats in the upper deck will also be cut by an average of 10 percent.
The team said Tuesday that the number of marquee games will be reduced. Tickets for those games are more expensive because of the opponent or because the date is typically more popular with fans.

Tommy Gainey birdied No. 18 for a 3-under 69 and a one-stroke victory in the Pebble Beach Invitational on Sunday. Kirk Triplett and William McGirt tied for second in the tournament that featured players from the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Web.com tours. Triplett, who was tied for the lead following the second round, closed with a 68 and McGirt shot a 69 in the final round. Gainey, who trailed leader Robert Streb by two shots at the beginning of the day, finished at 11 under 277. McGirt and Triplett, playing one group ahead of Gainey, both missed birdie attempts on 18. Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam, playing in a foursome that included Juli Inkster, shot a 69 and finished at 1 over. Gainey earned $60,000 of the $300,000 purse.

Humboldt Bay Fire conducts urban search and rescue training
EUREKA- Members of Humboldt Bay Fire had specialized training on Monday. The training was practicing search and rescue situations in urban or industrial environments.
High Angle Rope Rescue Training is held 4four times a year. Members of the Humboldt Bay Fire Urban Search and Rescue Team and three engine companies participated. Crews practiced multiple scenarios, including rescuing people trapped in high locations.
"Much like learning a language or learning any specialized skill, you may not always use it, but you always need to be proficient in it. And for us, part of our mission is to always be prepared and provide the highest level of service that we can. And by constantly training on all the things that we need to do and provide to the public, we're able to maintain that high level of service," said Battalion Chief Sean Robertson.

Rumors are building in the blogosphere that Michael Voltaggio is leaving the restaurant at The Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa, Eater LA reported earlier today.
The L.A. Times travel blog says the departure has been confirmed by Langham spokeswoman Elsa Schelin.
I have a line into Schelin asking for more details.
It was less than a month ago when I sat down with Voltaggio in The Dining Room and talked about plans to reinvent the restaurant. He was still very much at the center of the project, working with hotel officials and Bill Johnson of the architecture firm The Johnson Studio to bring the design of the space into alignment with his cutting-edge cuisine.
If true, Voltaggio's exit from The Langham would change a lot of things, including parts of our latest cover story that focus on the chef.
Stay tuned for updates.
In the meantime, here's a video we put together from that recent interview and photo shoot with the celebrity chef.

The women who arrived yesterday toured the island this afternoon.
The women, who arrived yesterday, toured the island this afternoon.
The use of commas in these two examples actually has a bearing on the precise meaning of the sentence. In the first sentence, who arrived yesterday defines exactly which women are the subject of the sentence, separating them from all other women. In the second sentence, however, the information who arrived yesterday is not necessary to the sentence. It does not separate the women from all other women. The clause adds information, but the information isn't essential to our knowing which women are being discussed.
It is you, as the writer, who must decide which kind of information to give and whether or not that information needs to be set off by commas.

Concerned about plans to bring a juvenile detention center to its neighborhood, Children's Hospital has arranged a meeting of government officials, business and community leaders in the Cold Spring Lane-Greenspring Avenue area.
The meeting is set for 1 p.m. today in the hospital's Bowles Auditorium. The hospital is at 3825 Greenspring Ave.
City and state officials are considering a site on Cold Spring Lane between the Jones Falls Expressway and Greenspring Avenue for a juvenile justice center, which would include a courthouse and a 144-bed detention facility. The city also may build a new Northern District police station on the 27-acre site that now is a landfill.

press release
New York — The Rockefeller Foundation and Elance-oDesk will join forces to unlock the potential of online work for disadvantaged youth in Africa.
Today the internet offers millions of job opportunities to a global distributed workforce.
The online work sector has experienced phenomenal growth over the past several years and by one estimate could reach $16 billion by 2020 and by another estimate expand to $46 billion1. Much of this growth will come from closing skills gaps by making it easier for people to find each other and work together. There are more than 1 billion people in Africa2, many of whom reside in areas traditionally difficult for top global employers to access, yet highly motivated to earn an income.
Online work is opening up opportunity by connecting these people to jobs via the Internet. This work can include any type of skill that can be done via a computer, such as web research, social marketing, programming, writing, translation and design.
Elance-oDesk and The Rockefeller Foundation will collaborate on outreach efforts to help drive an increase in the number of high potential but disadvantaged youth in Africa who can access online jobs. This collaboration will advance the goals of the Foundation's Digital Jobs Africa Initiative which was launched in 2013. The initiative is a $100million initiative aimed at connecting high potential abut disadvantaged youth to jobs in the digital economy.
The organizations will also collaborate on research to better understand how to catalyze online work opportunities for African youth. Through this collaboration it is anticipated high potential but disadvantaged youth in Africa will benefit from increased income and skills development as a result of successful access and participation on online work platforms.
"The Rockefeller Foundation is thrilled to be working in collaboration with Elance-oDesk to ensure that more youth in Africa acquire relevant skills and sustainable jobs in this connected era. We will work together to ensure that young people on the continent are aware of the opportunity presented by online work and develop the skills to successfully access online jobs for income generation, skills development and increased digital work experience" said Mamadou Biteye, Managing Director of the Rockefeller Foundation's Africa Regional Office.
"Elance-oDesk is honored to collaborate with the Rockefeller Foundation on efforts together to bring more work to disadvantaged youth," said Rich Pearson Senior Vice President of Geographies and Categories at Elance-oDesk. "Online work is allowing aspiring professionals around the world to tap into job opportunities via the Internet that they would otherwise not have access to. Africa's youths deserve equal access to these jobs and we're confident that this partnership will help open doors for them."

2011 eKartingNews.ca Review: Top-10 Photos of 2011
2011 was another great year for karting photos. There was plenty of action on and off the track that kept me very busy throughout the entire calendar year, and having the ability to travel the globe, covering Canadian's karters triumph one race at a time was great and a real honour. From Al Ain, to Las Vegas, to Mont-Tremblant, I had a blast providing you guys with photo galleries featuring some of my best photos to date and I can't wait for 2012 to start in just over a week when I hit the track in West Palm Beach, Florida for the opening round of the 2012 Florida Winter Tour.
Narrowing it down from over 100 000 photos to just ten was quite challenging, and it took me a little longer than I had hoped, but in the end, I think I have picked ten shots that you all will enjoy.
#10.5. Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, Al Ain, UAE
Alright, it's actually my eleven favourite photos from 2011. But how could any photographer exclude this photo?
#10. Kyle Herder - Western Canadian Championships, Saskatoon, Sask
There are certain tracks a photographer travels to that just seem to provide the perfect settings for photos. This shot of Kyle Herder from Saskatoon seemed to just hit everything right.
#9. Tristan Degrand - US Rotax Grand Nationals, Tooele, UT, USA
As many of you have noticed, I purchased, and may have slightly over-used my fisheye lens this year. This shot of Tristan Degrand stands out as one of my favourite grid shots of all time.
#8. ASN Canadian National Karting Championships - Le Circuit Karting Mont-Tremblant, Mont-Tremblant, QC
The atmosphere in Mont-Tremblant is almost too perfect to be true. The 360 degree views from the facility are stunning, and the green that surrounds the area provides some beautiful evening sights for the eyes.
#7. Jesse Lazare - ASN Canadian National Karting Championships, Mont-Tremblant
As highlighted in my top-10 stories, Jesse Lazares victory at the Canadian National Karting Championships was one of the most emotional victories I have witnessed. Pure domination showed just how much Lazare was focused on winning the event, and shown here, just how much it meant to him.
#6. Steven Szigeti & Ben Cooper - Eastern Canadian Karting Championship, Mont-Tremblant, QC
Another track that provided that 'perfect' setting for me as a photographer was Mont-Tremblant. With the dark forest in the background, this shot of Steven Szigeti and Ben Cooper may be the sharpest photo I have ever taken.
#5. Matthew Di Leo - Pan American Rotax Max Challenge Finals, New Castle, IN, USA
What can I say about this shot? I love it. The long exposure, the massive amounts of green, the ghosting, all features that made this shot stand out from the 200+ that I attempted to take in New Castle.
#4. Logan Sergeant - Florida Winter Tour, Orlando, FL, USA
Pure happiness. Logan Sergeant loves to win, and it never seems to get old for him. The low light in Orlando allowed me to get close, almost too close, but the end result was stunning.
#3. Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals - Al Ain, UAE
After missing one of my favourite parts of the RMCGF (the chassis draw), and the incredible sights that come with it, this photo almost makes up for it. The scenic setting that the Al Ain Raceway provided at night had me out late for two nights trying to capture this shot, and I think I got it perfect.
#2. Daniel Morad - Florida Winter Tour, Orlando, FL, USA
There isn't too many opportunities to properly shoot a kart race under the lights, but this years Florida Winter Tour event in Orlando allowed me to try some new things under the very low light conditions. Th orange glow was all that was left from the days sunset, and the end result nearly took the top honours.
1. Scott Campbell-DD2 Masters - Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, Al Ain, UAE
As many of you could have predicted, this photo is my number one pick for 2011. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Scott travelling to turn on in Al Ain with his tire in his hand, but when I noticed it on my camera a few moments later, it seemed I was the only one who caught in. Unfortunately for Campbell, it would mean he would not repeat as Rotax DD2 Masters Champion, but I have a good feeling he will be back in Portugal in 2012!

Reconstructive plastic surgery is used to correct conditions related to traumatic accidents, cancer, birth defects, or disease. These debilitating and sometimes disfiguring illnesses and injuries are often unexpected and their victims may find their quality of life impaired for a time.
Our plastic surgeon at McKay-Dee Dermatology and Plastic Surgery can perform a variety of procedures to improve function and appearance to areas of the body affected by these types of conditions, helping our patients regain confidence, self-esteem, and quality of life.
Reconstructive procedures available at our facility most often relate to hand and facial injuries, breast reconstruction, and skin cancer surgery.
Hand surgery is a general term used to describe a variety of procedures that help restore function to the hands, wrists, and forearms following a traumatic injury or disease. Hand surgery may also include procedures that correct congenital abnormalities and/or conditions that affect strength, function, or flexibility in the lower arms and hands.
The main goal of hand surgery is to restore functionality while creating an aesthetically pleasing result.
Facial fractures resulting from traumatic injury can be corrected through various surgical procedures. These fractures may affect the skull, face, or jaws. Many times, this type of reconstructive surgery involves other cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, or otoplasty (ear surgery).
In many cases, cosmetic surgery can dramatically improve the final results following a traumatic facial injury.
Part of diagnosing melanoma includes a process called staging, which determines the thickness of the tumor, and how far the cancer has spread (to the regional lymph nodes or beyond). Melanoma surgery varies depending on the stage of the disease. In many cases, this procedure includes surgical removal of the melanoma, an evaluation of the lymph nodes, and prevention of melanoma recurrence.
Malignant melanoma is a very serious type of skin cancer that affects hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. Treatment for melanoma often includes excising, or removing the effected skin. The effected area may be as small as a mole, or possibly several centimeters in diameter. After a dermatologist removes melanoma, our plastic surgeon can restore the aesthetic appearance to the effected area using a variety of techniques.

How to Serve God
If you have already found God and become a Christian but don't know how to serve Him? Well, you're in luck. I'm about to tell you how to serve God your whole life. Let's get started.
1Pray. Pray anywhere, everywhere. In your head, out loud, eyes open or closed-- doesn't matter to God, just talk to Him. He'll appreciate you telling Him your feelings. And, hey, who knows? He might even help you with something if you pray about it enough.Ad
2Read your Bible. I know, it looks boring. But as the good ol' saying goes, Don't judge a book by its cover.. If you just give it a chance, you just might like it. Plus, it's God's Word, you need to read it. If you find a boring part, you don't have to read from start to finish. Skip around, change it up. As you read the Bible, think about how it reflects on your own life.
3Start going to church. What better way to serve God? Even if you are unable to go, you could pretend to have a little service every Sunday in your room or something. Plan it out. Google it. Whatever makes you feel closer to Him.
4Spread the word about God. Tell other people about Him or invite them to church. Don't be ashamed of God, He's your creator.Ad
We could really use your help!

Zvishavane — Shabanie Mine president Greg Mataka has said his club is not going to appoint a new coach for the next season but will instead support Luke "Vahombe" Masomere in his bid to clear his name from the Asiagate match-fixing scandal.
Masomere who has previously won the championship with Amazulu and has coached various clubs including CAPS United, champions Dynamos and Masvingo United was handed a two-year ban for his alleged role in the Asiagate scam.
The veteran coach has however insisted that he did not take part in match-fixing and has since appealed against the ban.
"We all know that Luke (Masomere) was suspended by Zifa and we are not going to be appointing another coach because he is our coach. He has appealed the suspension and as a club we stand by him. Masomere is also employed by Shabanie Mine and people should know that he is our employee," said Mataka.
"How will he feel if we appoint another coach? He is currently going through some hard times and we are behind him. I know that very soon results for the appeal will be out and that is the only time we can make a decision as an executive because there is no way we can start the season before the results of the appeal has been announced.
Mataka also recently denied that Shabanie Mine were in a crisis despite the team having only three registered players of which one of them is currently undergoing trails with Buffaloes in Mutare.
The Shabanie boss is hopeful that players from relegated Gunners, Hardbody, Quelaton and other teams who have players who want to command a first team jersey will flock to the mining town.
Tarisai Rukanda is a wanted man at FC Platinum and he is likely to join the club after a deadly combination with top goalscorer Nelson Maziwisa this year.
Most players at Shabanie are still to be paid their signing on fees since 2010 while Erea Phiri, Blessed Mbavarira, and William Ngonya are the only registered players for the asbestos miners so far.
However, the Premiership transfer window remains open until March and Shabanie seem to have time on their side to put together a new side.

Agweek @25: An ag news source roots in the Upper Great PlainsFARGO, N.D. — Celebrate a milestone with us — 25 years of Agweek.

By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
FARGO, N.D. — Celebrate a milestone with us — 25 years of Agweek.
The magazine you are holding in your hands (or reading online) commemorates a quarter-century as a service to farmers and agribusinesses in the Northern Plains. For those with calculators, that's 1,300 issues.
After its first 25 years, this publication strives for many of the same goals that are part of its heritage, to provide value and information to farmers and their communities in the Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana. We work to turn over some of the rocks that come with the farm, and hold up a mirror to reveal an unfolding history for those grappling with the issues of today.
Agweek remains a part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Grand Forks Herald newspaper but their parent company has changed from Knight Ridder Corp., then the third-largest newspaper chain in America, to Forum Communications Co. of Fargo, N.D., a regional power in journalism.
So much has happened in agriculture, and in communications technology since then, but it's important to remember how visionary individuals gave Agweek its start.
Mike Maidenberg was the first publisher of Agweek, along with the Grand Forks Herald, and Mike Jacobs was then editor of the award-winning daily newspaper. The Herald often was innovating with specialty publications.
Maidenberg came to the Grand Forks Herald as publisher in June 1982. Born in 1942, he'd grown up in Marion, Ind., in a town that was totally surrounded by fields of corn and soybeans. His father owned a restaurant equipment business, and his uncle was a longtime newspaperman.
"Ag was not part of my life," he says, adding "I was strictly a consumer."
He went to the University of Michigan for a history major and on to the Peace Corps in India from 1964 to 1966. The Green Revolution under University of Minnesota scientist Norman Borlaug was under way, but he wasn't fully aware.
"I do remember that the expectation was that India would suffer as it had suffered from a series of famines, if the monsoons weren't favorable, and if the population could not be kept under control," Maidenberg says. "The idea that in a decade India would be able to feed itself was not something anybody dreamt of as being possible."
After the Peace Corps, Maidenberg went back to school at Columbia School of Journalism. He went to the Detroit Free Press as a reporter/editor, to the Philadelphia Inquirer as an editor and to Knight Ridder's Miami headquarters on the business side. Grand Forks would be his first publisher role.
Coming to North Dakota was in some ways like coming into a small town similar to what he'd grown up in. As with Marion, he initially didn't know what made Grand Forks' economy tick.
"People would talk about the air base and about the University of North Dakota, but they'd also talk about how agriculture drives the whole state," Maidenberg says. "I didn't know much about it, but at least I knew that I didn't know."
Maidenberg remembers people being generous to educate a new publisher from the outside. He often found himself on farms or talking to county agricultural agents and implement dealers.
"After awhile, it really began to dawn on me — especially as someone with a hazy image of a farmer in bib overalls and not knowing much beyond that — that these were some very solid, sophisticated business people," he says.
But some of these farmers told him they were frustrated by being somewhat isolated from information.
"There was no Internet at the time," he says. "It struck me that here is this audience of medium-, small- and some large-sized operations and they were hungry for news and information," he says. "They wanted to know what was going on in the world and in Washington. Newspapers didn't really address those subjects very well and the standard farm magazines were monthly or even every other month, and they were heavily oriented toward production — how to grow more."
Maidenberg and Jacobs saw an opportunity and went looking for an agriculture and business editor for the paper.
Home-grown talent
They found Jim Durkin.
Durkin was a former Herald staffer who was working at the Greenville, S.C., newspaper.
He grew up in Inkster, N.D., The oldest son in a family with eight children, he'd helped his family raise a full range of crops, including potatoes and some sugar beets — "everything but livestock," Durkin says.
At age 10, Durkin already was spending long hours on a tractor but decided his aspirations were off the farm.
"By the time I was old enough to know better," he jokes.
He'd been in sports in high school and started at Mayville State University, thinking he'd teach and coach. An instructor there suggested he take a course in journalism and write for the college paper.
"It was kind of fun and I thought I could stay close to sports, so I transferred to the University of North Dakota and became a journalist," he says.
As a student, he approached Grand Forks Herald sports editor Virg Foss about working at the paper part time. Durkin started at the Herald full time in 1976. From late 1981 to 1983, he went to South Carolina, but was happy to come back to North Dakota when given the opportunity.
The Herald had a "green section" called "Farm and Home." It was largely an advertising-driven publication.
"We were improving that," Durkin recalls. "Basically, there was me and Gail Hand and Andre Stephenson, the layout and design guy. And Juan Miguel Pedraza was a part-time clerk. He'd been working for Bev Kees, making elevator calls. I kind of inherited the other half of his time."
When Maidenberg started getting big ideas, Durkin was at his side.
Among other things, Maidenberg and Durkin noticed that while there were a number of regional publications and tabloids in the area, there was an opportunity for "a lot of good, hard-edged information" rather than depending heavily on county agent reports and wire stories.
"We thought we'd actually go out and report on important stories — compile statistics. There'd be a niche for us," Durkin says. "Our goal was to figure out what kind of information we wanted in there, how we could go about getting it, adjusting and making it useful to people and putting it in a display that is easy to follow and read."
Where do we fit?
Durkin doesn't remember exactly how they came up with the name, but there's the logic of it being an ag publication that came out weekly — Agweek.
One thing that Durkin remembers was thinking they would put out 48 pages a week, and he realized one thing: "We're going to need more people."
It was early in 1985. They decided to start publication in the summer, and the first issue was Aug. 5, 1985.
Agweek started hiring more reporters with the vision to fill the publication with stories on feedgrains, wheat, soybeans, corn and specialty crops.
"It was just a situation that the more we looked at the task, the more we realized we had to add people," Durkin says.
From the get-go, Maidenberg started investing in what would become a big reputation in ag news.
"I remember they sent me to the Soviet Union," Durkin remembers. "It was truly the Soviet Union back then — still Communist, still one big country."
He went on an ag tour for a couple of weeks, checking out farms and how things were done over there. Durkin says there was a lot of curiosity about the Soviet Union at the time. A decade earlier, the Soviets had shaken up agriculture in the U.S. and around the world by buying grain, boosting prices to then-historic levels.
"I was in a potato field with a bunch of Russians and a few Americans, and I saw a beetle on one of the plants," Durkin says. "A guy came up and saw me looking at the plant — pointed to it, and he says 'Colorado.' It was the same beetle — the Colorado potato beetle — we had in the Red River Valley. It hit me that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, these guys (farmers) are up against the same thing. It was an epiphany, I guess."
Durkin says the hiring buildup was impressive and the paper attracted impressive staff members.
"We put some ads in 'Editor & Publisher' magazine, and I didn't know what to expect," he says. Turns out, there was a lot of interest.
Durkin remembers going to Washington with Agweek staffer Burbach. The two successfully recruited Sonja Hillgren as Washington-based correspondent.
"I find it amazing we were able to hire her," Durkin recalls. "She had great contacts on Capitol Hill and really knew her stuff."
(Hillgren, a Sioux Falls, S.D., native, went on to be editor of Farm Journal magazine. She died of cancer in 2007.) Other early reporters had master's degrees and MBAs.
Beyond the farm crisis
Deliberately, the Herald/Agweek executives decided that the farm crisis that spawned foreclosures, tractorcades, farm protests and Farm Aid would not be Agweek's main focus.
"It was part of the story, but certainly was one we didn't want to focus on," Durkin says. "Every newspaper was writing about 'woe are we,' and we were writing for the people who were farming, trying to survive — trying to HELP them survive."
Marketing and national policy were the two biggest focus areas.
"From a news person's point of view, it made a lot of sense," Maidenberg says. "Farmers were interested in news and information and weren't getting as much as I thought they were seeking."
Among the farmers encouraging Agweek were Willard Pederson and Keith Bjerke, both of Northwood, N.D., and Bob Bergland, who had been U.S. agriculture secretary under President Jimmy Carter and still was in national leadership positions in cooperatives.
Most competing publications of the day were regional or were focusing on crop production — how to grow more grain or livestock. Few talked about the marketing and trade side of things. Some farmers were getting information online, but it wasn't as simple as today.
"At the time, if there was a big commodity sale to a foreign country, we'd report on it, or who was thinking about buying," Durkin says.
Agweek hired North Dakota native Ed Maixner, a veteran of The Forum in Fargo, to cover ag finance, covering the strength of the U.S. dollar and key interest rates. Jon Knutson, who recently returned to Agweek as a reporter after nearly 20 years, succeeded Maixner.
"It got to the point where it was ridiculous; you'd get tired of hearing about the strength of the dollar, but it was a really big deal, once you realized the influence of those kinds of things," Durkin recalls.
These were heady times.
Durkin "wore a path" to Maidenberg's office. The activist ag publisher became well-known for seeing news items and passing piles of clippings along, marking them up with his green, felt-tipped pen — demanding immediate attention.
"Whether I was having a good day or a bad day depended on how much green ink I'd see," Durkin says with a smile.
Pushing the envelope
By the peak in 1987, Agweek had bulked up to about 15 people on the editorial side alone.
The tabloid newsprint Agweek "magazine" had an increasingly impressive staff. At one point, it had its own graphic artist and its own photographer. It had bureaus in Washington, as well as Billings, Mont., and Fargo. That didn't count the advertising and circulation personnel.
"We kind of outgrew the Herald newsroom," Durkin recalls, so Agweek moved into a nearby building downtown.
"We were writing for people who understood things — like 'PIK-and-roll,'" Durkin says, referring to a government program that was famous in the Reagan years. Farmers used "Payment-in-Kind" certificates to redeem stored bushels in government storage programs. Farmers sometimes would fly in light airplanes to remote counties in North Dakota and elsewhere to redeem "certs" for more bushels.
"We'd do most of our stories during the week, but then, once the markets closed Friday, that's when we really cranked. We'd start doing market wraps for all of the commodities. Fridays were long days for us because we wanted to be as fresh as we could, and we didn't start writing those stories until the numbers were out."
Agweek was looking like a bulked-up regional publication, but behind-the-scenes, Maidenberg had ambitions to take the publication national.
"We weren't afraid to go after things," Durkin says. "We thought about (a national scope), but we had to test it on a regional basis — seeing how it worked, fine-tuning content and presentation," Durkin says. "Maidenberg came up with the phrase that he 'wanted to be the 'Barron's' of agriculture,'" referring to the Dow Jones & Co. weekly that is national in scope, focused on finance and markets.
Maidenberg and Durkin came up with a plan that included a main headquarters in Minneapolis. There would be satellite offices in Grand Forks and elsewhere, and the publication would be sent to points around the country on Sundays and distributed on Mondays.
"Distribution was a big deal," Durkin says of the challenges. "We looked at the USA Today model. We looked at the advertising potential, took numbers and crunched them down. We said, 'OK, here's what it would take and what your returns would be.'"
Maidenberg says the situation may have been different had the Internet been more developed as a means of transmitting information. But at the time, the costs of transmission and the need to have regional editions and printing were overwhelming.
"I'd still like to try it, national, but I don't think ink-on-paper is in the cards because the printing and distribution hurdles are still huge," he says. "But who knows? Maybe electronic readers will solve that issue."
Right-sizing to reality
In those buildup years, Agweek, was not instantly expected to be profitable.
"When we were starting up, we had lots of expenses and didn't have the revenue yet to meet them," Maidenberg recalls. "On a stand-alone basis, we weren't profitable in the first few years. I have to hand it to the folks at Knight Ridder because they gave us sufficient time to establish Agweek as a publication with advertising and circulation to go into the black and be profitable."
Long-term, Maidenberg and Durkin could project the national concept could be profitable, but only at about 10 percent return-on-investment per year. Then, the newspaper business was more profitable than today, and the then-Miami-based chain was making an ROI in the neighborhood of 20 percent on its papers.
"At that time, we decided to pull in our horns — do what we were doing, but not national," Durkin says.
Agweek started scaling back to "right-size" itself for the regional market. Some of its larger personalities went on to other jobs — Hillgren to Farm Journal; reporter Randall Mik-kelsen to the wire service powerhouse Reuters, where he became a White House correspondent, and other duties internationally and domestically.
"We tried to do the best we could with fewer people, knowing that if we were going to keep it going we couldn't do it on the hope of getting bigger," Durkin remembers.
In 1992, Durkin left his post as Agweek editor and returned to the Herald as executive sports editor.
"They were going to cut back to 'X' number of jobs," Durkin says. "At that point, I decided if we're at the end of the road in terms of building Agweek and others wanted to stay, I'd just as soon go back into daily journalism and it'd save a spot (at Agweek) for somebody else."
Juan Miguel Pedraza served next as Agweek editor, followed by Duane Mattson, Julie Copeland, Rona Johnson, Kevin Bonham and Kim Deats, who moved to Agweek from the Grand Forks Herald in November 1996.
Durkin continued with the Herald through the flood of 1997. He was offered a job by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune in December 1997.
He still gets to the home area six or eight times a year. Fishing is a passion and he hunts deer up near Inkster every fall. Now 58, Durkin is a St. Paul editor for the Star Tribune.
While not a national publication today, Agweek is still a national award-winner and holds true to its journalistic ideals.
Armed with new technologies, fewer reporters and editors continue to serve Agweek readers and regularly cover stories throughout North Dakota South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and Canada's prairie provinces.
Since 2000, reporters have gone assignment to Cuba, China, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, France and Germany. Agweek columns still are filled with news of agricultural markets, national political maneuvering, as well as technological trends and farm policy issues. It has award-winning columnists Jerry Hagstrom in Washington and Ryan Taylor in Towner, N.D. Many Agweek staffers or contributors have become leaders, with four former staffers elected as presidents of the North American Agricultural Journalists organization.
On July 1, 2006, Agweek became part of the Forum Communications Co., when the Grand Forks Herald was sold to the Fargo-based company.
Mike Jacobs became editor and publisher of the Herald in 2006 and so took on the role as Agweek publisher.
"I think Agweek has established itself as an important element in journalism about agriculture in the Northern Plains," Jacobs says. "Its focus has always been on the business side of agriculture — the way markets and public policy affect agriculture. Frankly, Agweek does that better than other publications do."
Maidenberg retired from the Herald in 2003. He became vice president for programs at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in Miami and remained associated with the foundation through March 2009. In June 2009, he took a consulting post with the Collins Center for Public Policy, a think tank that has a project dealing with the future of communities affected by the Everglades restoration.
"Those communities are heavily dependent on agriculture — particularly sugar cane, and to some extent winter vegetables, including sweet corn and peppers," he says. "So you see, I've gotten back into agriculture, indirectly."
Maidenberg says that while the scale of Agweek has returned to a regionalist vision, it still is true to its editorial core.
"There's always that news and analysis. I think we've held true to that. And I still get the magazine, by the way."
He says that while there are uncertainties for all print publications because of the Internet, there also are greater opportunities for specialized publications like Agweek,because of its focus on ag.
"Agweek is kind of a general magazine — it's not covering a single crop or completely a single region. Its editorial approach and timeliness remain great strengths," he says. "But like every publication that came up out of print, it's going to have to experiment as it makes its way forward."

Gainward Geforce FX 5800 Ultra
Well I just got 2 of these and they have the reference FX flow fan and heatsink on them, not the HSF you've seen in reviews. They are OEM cards. One came bundled in a large rectangular styrofoam with gainward tape all over it. So they will be the exact same noise as the rest. Is the reference fan a 50mm or 60mm? There is a panaflo that should easily swap with the ystech that's 28db that should also keep it colder. I'll post the details of the replacement fan when I find out the MM on the ystech. Thanks nrdstrm for the heads up on the loc of one of them.
Hmmm strange.... that really is false advertising. :S Well dodgy.
But welcome to the FX club :D please dont fondle the fairys on your way in. ;)
Did you order the cards and were they specifically advertised as the Power Pack? This doesn't sound good because I ordered one of these cards myself. I hope I'm not getting gyped. :|
I'll know for sure when the card arrives tomorrow.
Re: Gainward Geforce FX 5800 Ultra
does your experience have a fan of this type that may be upgradeable or replaced?
(btw - if you dont have the opaque and flimsier cooler shroud, then you dont have the original reference model that everyone bitched about. theres a newer revision that the higher-end mfrs are using (most definitely gainward. my asus has it) that has a clear, much stronger and redesigned version of the same flowFX system .)
im actually stoked on the cooling and see alot of possibilities for a fun summer of cooling solutions to try out. probably get something like the gainward solution and check that out for it, prolly try the water-cooled solution. theres a thermaltake fan-less solution that they claim is tested with the nv30! so i see the flowFX as a nice perk on this card (i also havent had room for a PCI card in the first slot ever due to always having better cooling on my GPU and frankly not one post-440BX motherboard i know of supports using the first PCI slot if the AGP slot is used.)
You ordered a GeForce FX 5800 Ultra Saturnotaku ?
D. Solomon Jr.
How much did you pay for it? And where did you order it?
D. Solomon Jr.
It's clear, exactly like the one that I had last month from PNY except it has a ainward sticker. Yes it was advertised as the retail card including a sound card, etc. you know the package. Anyways I knew they didn't know crap when I ordered it, I wasn't even sure it was an Ultra cause I called them and they didn't know what the hell I was talking about. Anyways PCClub and GameVE.com were selling the OEM Gainward with the regular reference fan. The Gameve.com comes with 4x4 EVO and some game lite disc, drivers/expert tool dvi adapter and a svid to rca plug. I only wanted the Gainward for the copper on it. Would have been easy to mod. However I'm just going to mod these.
Xtreme Gear is advertising one now.
There are 2 fans that should fit exactly where the ystech is depending on the speed/cfm/db that you want.
Panaflo FAL3F12LL
I called XTREMEGEAR and they said that they are selling 'Retail Boxed' versions. Trusting that this is the truth is another story.
Unfortunately, immediately after my card shipped, GameVE pulled the product off their site. This isn't boding well. However, I will be fully prepared to take any action necessary should the card I receive not be the Power Pack. It's nice to have a cousin who works for a law firm and is about ready to take the Bar. ;)
I ordered one of them from gameve.com also, let me know if you get the retail card. Mine came in a styrofoam rectangle with Gainward tape, I'm sure you'll get the same thing. The reference fan is too loud for me I will have to remove or replace it. I wish the one from Gameve was the one in the pic. They also had the full spec list with sound card included, uhh I don't see one?
I remember when they showed up at GameVE the other day. I E-Mailed them and asked if these were truly the 'Retail Boxed' versions shown in the picture. They never answered my E-Mail and they pulled the product from their site.
Badash, so the reviewers were correct in stating that they are LOUD?
The Gainward fan that is in the picture is supposed to be a few decibels quieter. I wonder if it is really that much more quiet as a few reviews on the Gainward state that there is still a fairly high pitched whine.

Ngnintedem Jerome, the deceased's husband told CT that they were woken around 4am by the sound of gun shots and voices ordering them to open the doors to the house. While he rushed and hid in the bathroom, his panic-stricken wife rose up to open the door leading to their room, which resulting in a stray bullet into her head.
Meanwhile, unable to break through the main door, the hoodlums moved to the rear of the house and broke the wooden door with an axe. In the room, an argument ensued between the two gangsters on whether to kill the husband too. They fled after seizing the sum of FCFA 100.000, a laptop, a flat TV set and one mobile phone.
Eye witnesses say there were three criminals. The deceased's corpse is at the Bonassama District Hospital mortuary, pending funeral arrangements. Meanwhile, the Judicial Police has launched a manhunt alongside investigations.

Aiko 3 seems to have been quite the phenomenon, theres so many wonderful(if you like anime) stuff for her that I dont find for Aiko 4, and the morph shapes are much closer to traditional anime in my opinion.
My question is, how much of this stuff works with Genesis? If I get the Aiko 3 for Genesis will all the clothes, skin and hair for Aiko 3 work? What about the morphs? If I use Gen X will I be able to get the exact same facial morphs? And what about the various eye morph products for Aiko 3, do those work for genesis? Lastly will Melody at RDNA, the one used to create many animal heads, work for Genesis with the Aiko 3 morph since Melody was intended for Aiko 3?
Thanks in advance.

Boston's Clay Buchholz entered Monday's game against Minnesota as baseball's best pitcher so far this year. The Minnesota Twins must not have gotten the memo. Minnesota jumped on Buchholz for two runs in the first inning and eventually tagged him for four total runs the most he's allowed in seven starts this season. He also lasted just six innings, the shortest of his outings this year. As good as Buchholz has been, the 28-year-old righty was the target of accusations during his last start prior to Monday. During Buchholz's start last week against the Blue Jays, Toronto radio host Dirk Hayhurst accused Buchholz of doctoring the baseball. One day later, Toronto broadcast analyst and former Twins pitcher Jack Morris said he re-watched the game on video and came to the same conclusion. With the accusations out in the open, all eyes were certainly on Buchholz who denied the charges during Monday's start. As it turned out, Buchholz put together his roughest outing of the year afte...

I recommend this book to all practitioners, students and professionals, as well as to clients wishing to review the journey they have made with their therapist." - Terry Browning, Gestalt Counsellor, London & Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
"Whether you are familiar with Gestalt Theory, or just starting out, this book is a must. Mann has successfully undertaken the task of outlining key concepts in Gestalt Theory and has provided a benchmark to work from. Do not consider borrowing this book, you must buy it! You will keep dipping into it for references, definitions, ideas and examples."- Dr Sally Denham -Vaughan, UKCP Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist, Trainer, Supervisor and Writer.
"I wish this book had been available when I was beginning to learn about therapy. I treasure the sophisticated humanity, grace and flexibility that gestalt therapy embodies and yet its theory can be difficult to grasp. Mann, writing in his conversational style, draws the reader into gentle conversation with a wise elder who makes gestalt therapy accessible without reducing its wisdom." - Lynne Jacobs, Ph.D., Co-Founder, Pacific Gestalt Institute, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

The plans for this console table can be found at the below link. Full credit goes to the person who designed it. I made some slight modifications like lowering it a few inches because I wanted it to function as a sofa table. Also, I used old cedar fence boards for the bottom shelf.
Drawings and Original Instructions:
Step 1: Gather Matterials
Tools Needed:
- Power Saw
- Electric Sander
- Power Drill
- Pocket Hole Jig
Materials Needed: (from linked website in the intro)
two 8′ 2″x2″ (cut into four 32″ pieces for the legs)
two 6′ 1″x2″ (cut 12 1/2″ and 42 1/2″ out of each 6′ board)
two 6′ 1″x3″ (cut 12 1/2″ and 42 1/2″ out of each 6′ board)
one 8′ 1″x10″ (cut two 4′ sections and glue up together to make a wide topeither 1/4″ sheet 3/4″ plywood OR scraps of 3/4″ plywood 12 1/2″ long at various widths to equal 42 1/2″wood glue1 1/4″ pocket hole screws for 3/4″ material (I used old cedar fence boards)
I got my materials from the local big box hardware store. The total cost for the lumber (white pine) was about $26.00. I picked up a pocket hole jig for $60.00. This jig is awesome, it makes very strong connections!
Step 2: Make your Cuts
Cut all of your lumber to the specified sizes.
Be sure to measure twice, cut once.
Step 3: Begin Constructing The Legs
Referring to the drawings in the link, drill 4 pocket holes into the 12 1/2" 1X3.
Attach them to the legs with 1 1./4" screws.
Ensure that 1x3 is set back 1/4" from the outer edge.
Do the same for the lower connector piece (1x2).
Make sure the 1x2 is flush with inside edge of the leg, this will be the lower shelf.
Step 4: Connecting the Apron to the Leg Sections
Using pocket holes connect the long apron pieces following the same conventions of the corresponding leg sections.
For added strength I recommend gluing each joint in addition to the pocket screws.
When everything is assembled add cleats along the lower apron. I used old scrap 1/4 round molding. This creates a seat for the planks to rest on.
when some one has had bad news then i usually console them on the couch. but each to their own.
That's beautiful! Great job :D

IT IS one of the most provocative suggestions in art history: did some Renaissance artists use lenses or mirrors to help them paint more accurately? Analysis of a 16th-century artwork dubbed a "Rosetta stone" for optical techniques suggests they did.
The theory that Renaissance artists used optical projection was proposed in 2000 by artist David Hockney and optical scientist Charles Falco of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Most art historians have yet to be convinced.
The first actual records of artists using optical techniques came when German Jesuit scholar, Athanasius Kircher described them in 1650. Dutch painter Jan Vermeer may have used a pinhole to project images onto canvasses, although there is no proof he used this for painting.
Falco and Hockney claim to have spotted the signature of optical projection, perhaps using a concave mirror, in a painting created more than a century earlier. At the American Physical ...

A new report by the Chicago Department of Public Health shows a significant increase in HIV testing, awareness of HIV status and access to medical treatment among Chicago MSM, or men who have sex with men.
The most significant and encouraging numbers were reported among young black men, the city's only subpopulation currently experiencing annual increases in HIV diagnoses.
The report, released Friday, compared findings from CDC-funded National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System surveys conducted in 2008 and 2011.
