Hundreds of high school students from throughout the region spent much of Wednesday at the city auditorium for the annual regional Students Against Destructive Decisions Conference sponsored by the Maple Valley SADD Chapter.
Cindy Kapaun, who leads the group with husband Brett Kapaun, said the conference, now in its eighth year, took place from about 8:45 a.m. to 2 p.m.
ŌĆ£We would have started earlier, but a bus broke down. WeŌĆÖre kind of the mom and pop of the whole group,ŌĆØ Cindy said.
Pheasant Opener; itŌĆÖs Christmas, the Super Bowl and one of those Big Money whirlwind machines you sometimes see at casinos all rolled into one, except instead of dollar bills, confetti and wrapping paper, itŌĆÖs feathers, lead and ejected shell casings that fill the air.
Whether the weekend is spent ŌĆ£at homeŌĆØ with friends, or ŌĆ£back homeŌĆØ on the farm with family, opener is always good for some new stories, some new ways to cook up our quarry, and some new looks at old tales that we all just get better at telling as the years go by.
Special to the Times-Record
Valley City Public Schools are participating in National School Lunch Week that began Oct. 8 and runs through Friday.
More than 28 million children are served lunch every school day, in more than 99,000 schools. ŌĆ£Here at Valley City Public Schools we serve about 900 kids at lunch each day. For some, this lunch is their most important meal of the day,ŌĆØ said Sue Milender, nutrition services director.
Barnes County commissioners approved in a 3-2 vote to move 911 operations to the county. The decision came after much discussion both during the regular county commission meeting Tuesday and in meetings prior involving the city and county over who would control 911.
A mid-2013 deadline to upgrade existing 911 systems to digital, ŌĆ£next generationŌĆØ 911 was set by Gov. Jack Dalrymple. Valley City and Barnes County are interested in a joint powers agreement that has been formed between Richland and Stutsman County for sharing the cost of the new equipment.
A scam has begun circulating in Valley City, trying to convince residents they have won $50 in gift cards, said Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson Monday.
Thompson said Valley City police learned of the scam about one week ago. It consists of written documents claiming the user can obtain vouchers for $50 in Walmart gift cards in return for receiving up to three issues of magazines. Readers are instructed to call an 800 number to receive the gift card voucher.
The District 24 Democrats held their annual Fall Roundup Friday evening at the VFW Club in Valley City.
The Democratic-NPL evening featured a meal, live auction and silent auction. Special recognition was paid to retiring District 24 Representatives Phil Mueller and Ralph Metcalf.
Larry Robinson, State Senator, said, ŌĆ£Ralph Metcalf and Phil Muller served with distinction in the North Dakota House of Representatives.
A weekend tractor fire in Barnes County killed an 87-year-old rural Litchville man, said Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin Monday afternoon.
McClaflin said that Wesley Ten Pas was burning a slough Saturday when the flames grew out of control and burned the tractor he was driving. ŌĆ£His tractor caught on fire, he tried to put it out, and the fire overtook him,ŌĆØ McClaflin said.
Ten Pas was taken to the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, where he died from his burns, McClaflin said.
Students in grades 4-6 and their parents are encouraged to spend Saturday afternoon discovering the river that runs through Valley City.
Participants will learn about where the water of the Sheyenne River comes from, where it goes and the creatures that call it home.
ENDERLIN ŌĆö During the final few drives of Fridays' 20-14 win over Oakes, Maple Valley/Enderlin football coach Brett Kapaun was okay with giving the visiting Tornadoes a few extra points, so long as the Falcons left with the win.
He told his team to simply "bend, don't break."
Though the Falcons were bent about as far as they could go, defending the end zone from their own two-yard line with 37 seconds left, they didn't break, forcing and recovering a fumble in the redzone to keep the Tornadoes from scoring what would have likely been the game-winning points.
The Valley City State football team picked up its fifth win of the season Saturday, beating NCAA Division III opponent Gustavus Adolphus College 16-0 in St. Peter, Minn.
The Vikings got the win behind solid defense, as well as key kicks from Thomas Cortez, whose leg accounted for 10 of the Vikings' 16 points.
VCSU scored on the opening drive of the game, getting behind a solid run game from Taylor Cino and Derek Elliot.
The drive ate up nearly five minutes of the clock, ending on a 31-yard field goal by Cortez.

UTSA presents author Shelley Fisher Fishkin April 8-12
(April 8, 2013) -- The UTSA Department of English will present author and scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin as the featured speaker in the 26th annual Brackenridge Distinguished Visiting Lecture Series April 8-12 on the UTSA Main Campus. The speaking events are free and open to the public.
Much of Fishkin's work has centered on Mark Twain, but she also has published works that have focused on recovering and interpreting voices that were silenced, marginalized or ignored in America's past. The diverse mix of authors in Fishkin's writings include Gloria Anzaldua, John Dos Passos, Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, Erica Jong, Theresa Malkiel and Walt Whitman.
At 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 10, Fishkin will present "Originally of Missouri... Now of the Universe's Mark Twain and the World" in the Business Building University Room (2.06.04) on the UTSA Main Campus.
Her second lecture, "Reading America Through Literary Landmarks from Walden Pond to Wounded Knee: Literature Through Place and Place Through Literature," will be 2 p.m., Friday, April 12 in the University Center Ballroom I (1.106) on the Main Campus.
An author, editor or co-editor of more than 40 books, Fishkin's published works also have appeared in more than 100 articles, essays, columns or reviews. Her writings have been translated into Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Georgian and Italian. Japanese, Korean and Turkish journals also have published her English language works.
Fishkin's research has been featured four times in the New York Times, twice on the front page and twice in the arts section.
A recipient of numerous awards, Fishkin received the Mark Twain Circle's Certificate of Merit in 2009. In 2007, she received a Tony nomination as one of the producers of the Broadway adaptation of Mark Twain's "Is He Dead?" production. Her book "Was Huck Black? Mark Twain and African-American Voices" (Oxford, 1993) was selected as an "Outstanding Academic Book" by Choice, which provides reviews for more than 25,000 academic librarians.
Fishkin is the founding editor of the online Journal of Transnational American Studies and co-founder of the Charlotte Perkins Gilman society. Additionally, she has served as past president for the American Studies Association, the Mark Twain Circle of America and as chair of the MLA Nonfiction Prose Division.
A frequent invited speaker at international conferences over the last nine years, Fishkin has given keynote talks in Beijing, Cambridge, Copenhagen, Dublin, Hong Kong, Kyoto, Lisbon, Seoul, St. Petersburg, Taipei, Toky, and across the United States.
Her academic accomplishments include serving as a life member as a visiting fellow at Cambridge University, as visiting scholar at Stanford's Institute for Research on Women and Gender, and as a faculty research fellow at Stanford's Clayman Institute for Gender Research. Fishkin was awarded an American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship and was a Fulbright Distinguished Lecturer in Japan. At the University of Texas at Austin, she received the Harry H. Ransom Teaching Excellence Award.
Fishkin's most recent project is a collaborative transnational, bilingual research project dealing with the Chinese Railroad Workers, whose labor helped establish the wealth that allowed Leland Stanford to build Stanford University. The goal of the project is to try to recover their experience and their world more fully than ever before, and to understand how these workers have figured in cultural memory in the U.S. and China.
Currently serving as the Joseph S. Atha Professor of Humanities at Stanford University, Fishkin also directs the American Studies Program at Stanford. Previously, she taught American studies and English and chaired the Department of American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. She received her doctoral degree in American studies, her master's degree in English and her bachelor's degree in English from Yale University.
Inaugurated in 1987, the UTSA Brackenridge Distinguished Visiting Lecture Series is supported by the George W. Brackenridge Foundation, the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts, and the UTSA Department of English. Through the generous support of the foundation, UTSA has invited distinguished scholars in literature and the humanities to engage members of the campus community and San Antonio in public lectures, classroom visits and faculty symposia as part of weeklong residencies.

Hi guys-
my wife and I are planning a vacation for this summer, and wanting to wrap it around a Reds game or few. I have never been to a game in Cincy, so trying to make the trip revolve around that if possible, but might have to just see them on the road. How are games attendance wise for July fourth games in Cincy? I know many factors also-who playing, weather, etc, but in general, are the games on the 4'th packed out?

The original magnitude scale was limited to naked‐eye stars, but it can be applied to even brighter objects by extending to negative numbers (see Figure ). The apparent magnitude of the Sun is −26.8 and the full Moon –12.5. Fainter objects have larger positive numbers. The Hubble Space Telescope can detect objects as faint as m = +30 (24 magnitudes, or about four billion times fainter than the faintest naked‐eye stars).

Apparent magnitude scale.
Originally, magnitudes were based on visible light; but with the use of filters, astronomers can measure brightnesses in specific parts of the spectrum. A U magnitude is one measured using the ultraviolet light of a star, B represents a blue magnitude, V a visual (yellow‐green part of the spectrum) magnitude, with R, I, J, K, M, and so on, representing ever longer wavelengths in which the measurement is made.

Children of welfare incur debts of parents
SAN FRANCISCO In 2008, when Jamie Hartley was 16 years old, her family was overpaid a total of $766 in welfare benefits.
But now Riverside County is demanding that Hartley repay the debt and it intends to "intercept" her next state income tax refund to get the money.
California welfare regulations for years have allowed, and even required, counties to go after minors for the debts of their parents, state officials told the Associated Press.
Attorneys for a Hartley and a Fresno man who filed suit Nov. 23 to try to stop the practice say they believe thousands of young people throughout the state are being unfairly required to repay millions of dollars in welfare money that mistakenly or fraudulently was obtained by caregivers or guardians.
Officials at the California Department of Social Services, which administers the welfare program called CalWORKS, said they do not track the number of children required to make such payments. The state's 58 counties recouped $61.5 million for the fiscal year ending June 30. The counties reported $133 million in overpayments for the same time period.
"The department is sensitive to this overpayment collection issue. However, state law does not allow for latitude when it comes to the recoupment of overpayments of public assistance benefits," said spokesman Michael Weston. "Counties first seek recovery from the adults associated with the case. When those efforts are fully exhausted, the county is required to seek recoupment of overpayments from any individual that was an aided member of a family..."
In Hartley's case, the debt arose because her family continued to receive its full benefits for three months during the summer her brother turned 18 and graduated from high school.
Riverside County was unable to collect from Hartley's mother, who subsists on untouchable aid for the disabled. So it has made Hartley, now 19, liable for the debt even though she was a minor when her mother signed up for welfare.
Hartley contends the overpayment was the county's fault. But administrative law judge Gilford Eastham in April denied her appeal, ruling she was indeed on the hook for the overpayments regardless of fault. Eastham also said Hartley's age at the time of the overpayment has no bearing on the debt now because she "is no longer a minor."
Riverside officials could not be reached for comment Friday, with county offices closed.
But state welfare authorities say counties are empowered to turn to the children once they become adults if the caregivers fail to take care of an overpayment and can't be found or otherwise forced to make good.
For Hartley and many other children of welfare families, advocates say the debt unknowingly hangs over their heads until they become adults and counties notify them they plan to attach their wages, seize their income tax returns and otherwise make them pay for the mistakes of their parents or bureaucrats.
"I have no idea how I can get through school while paying my mother's debts," said Hartley, who is attending community college in Riverside County. "I never knew this problem existed until the state started coming after me."

Phillies sign Carlos Zambrano

Over the weekend there was a report from the Dominican Republic that the Phillies had signed Carlos Zambrano. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. denied the report, calling it "ridiculously premature."
And today the Phillies announced that they've signed Zambrano to a minor-league contract. So yeah, next time Amaro calls something "ridiculously premature" that's just code for "will happen within a week."

Words could not possibly define the atmosphere that Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum hip hop artist Eve's show created over the weekend at the Doc Jubber Stadium.
The 'triple threat' - artist, actor and fashion designer - rolled back the years as she engaged the crowd with hits that made her a worldwide icon such as "Let Me Blow Ya Mind."
The rapper-songwriter, record producer and actress was simply in her element showing exactly why she has sold over 8 million copies world-wide.
She also sang 'Tamborine' and a verse off the remix of DMX's popular 'Ruff Ryders Anthem'.
A galaxy of stars already set the mood early on and by the time the 'First Lady of Ruff Ryders' appeared on stage, a deafening roar welcomed her, and the packed Doc Jubber Stadium came to life.
Eve surely did her background on Namibia and before her second performance of the night, she muted the crowd by calling for an end to passion killings.
"To all the men out there who lay hands on a woman, you need to feel ashamed! We all need to stop passion killing. For this I will sing a song," she said before sending the crowd into a total frenzy when they heard another hit of hers entitled, "Love is Blind." Moreover, the fans were in a frenzied mood as energetic performances from Zambian singer Roberto, Ugandan songstress Naava and Angolan Sally had the crowd grooving while the introduction and performances of Big Brother finalist Lady May soared the energy levels even more.
In addition, local group Maszanga held their own, while the Yazizza crew spearheaded by Sunny Boy added the distinction of opening for a prolific Eve, before local group PDK and Mshasho King 'The Dogg' attempted to steal the show with magnificent performances of their own.
Ultimately, the American rapper Eve was arguably the highlight of the night and though no one could really sing along to the song 'She Bad Bad,' hands were waving and the crowd was 'ecstatic' to put it mildly.
Seven women had the chance to dance on stage before the grand finale and if the noise levels were anything to go buy, this show was a resounding success.
The artist has sold over 8 million albums worldwide, while her musical debut album, Eve-First Lady of Ruff Ryders, went double platinum, while her sophomore release, Eve-olution, went platinum. Eve has rubbed shoulders with Fast and the Furious 5's Dom (Vin Diesel) in XXX, and appeared alongside King of Comedy Cedric the Entertainer in Barbershop I & II before starring in her self-titled sitcom, Eve.

Turns out Herman Cain may have been onto something when he said blacks have been brainwashed into voting for democrats. MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton has made it clear he is one of those people Cain was talking about. Sharpton claimed on his show Friday night that democrats supported the Civil Rights act of 1964, problem is, more republicans supported the bill than democrats. The Klu Klux Klan was also founded by democrats and democrats threw Martin Luther King Jr. in jail.
Media Research Center's Noel Sheppard explains:
The House version of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by only 61 percent of that Chamber's Democrats versus 80 percent of the Republicans.
More importantly, it was Republicans that ended a Democrat filibuster preventing a vote on this bill in the Senate. 82 percent of Republicans voted for cloture versus 66 percent of Democrats.
In the final Senate vote on the Act, 82 percent of Republicans voted "Aye" versus 69 percent of Democrats.
The same is true for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 when 94 percent of Senate Republicans voted in favor of the bill versus 73 percent of Democrats. The final vote on the House's version was even more stark as only one Senate Republican voted against it compared to seventeen Democrats.
In the House, 82 percent of Republicans supported the bill versus 78 percent of Democrats.
Also, Sharpton recently debated Herman Cain's "blackness," with Professor Karen Hunter on his radio show, saying Cain isn't trying to get black votes but trying to impress the Right.
And now, I give you Alfonzo Rachel, who wonders why blacks are so loyal to democrats.
The Democrat party has been the pro-slavery party, the pro-segregation party, the anti-civil rights party, but the majority of the black community votes democrat.

Posted: January 03, 2014|
Dick Matthews is looking for Shelford to continue where they left off at the Christmas break when they travel to Chinnor tomorrow.
Victory over Southend last time out saw them make in three wins in a row and they now have the opportunity to extend that run, as well as avenge a narrow defeat earlier in the campaign.
The Shelford squad were given a brief respite during the festive period, but threw themselves straight back into training earlier in the week as the second half of the season gets underway.
"We trained Monday night and we had a full turn-out, so either everyone is really looking forward to playing or they have had enough of relatives," joked Matthews.
"We're expecting a tough game against Chinnor. They beat Cambridge a few weeks ago and we know they are a good side.
"We lost to them earlier in the season when they scored late on, and we got into a bit of trouble with the referee and had a man sent off.
"They beat us narrowly down there last year and we'll certainly be looking to put that right."
Shelford certainly seem to have kicked the habit of conceding late scores which proved costly for them earlier in the season, while Matthews is pleased to see his side no longer giving away as many penalties.
The 24-19 defeat at home to Chinnor back in September saw them play for 35 minutes with 14 men after Francis Ambrose was sent off for picking up two yellow cards.
Jamie Beswick was also sin binned in the same game and whatever one might think of the officiating standards in National League 2S, Shelford were aware they needed to clean their act up.
"We've done a lot of work on improving our discipline," said Matthews.
"It was about making sure we stopped giving away repeat penalties or several in a row."
Aki Lea has not recovered from his injury in time to feature against Chinnor, although Matthews is more than satisfied with how Rupert Ransom has been performing at No 8 in Lea's absence.
The match kicks off a period which sees Shelford playing several of the sides either around or below them in the standings.
"We've got Bournemouth, Dings Crusaders and Exmouth coming up soon, so if everything goes according to plan then we should be comfortably mid-table," added Matthews.

YIELD: Makes 10 servings
For cake:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly butter and flour pan. Heat chocolate, sugar, and 1 cup butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring, until chocolate is almost completely melted, about 3 minutes; remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Let cool completely.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, add eggs to chocolate mixture 1 at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Beat until mixture has a mousse-like consistency. Reduce speed to low and add salt and 1/3 cup flour; mix until smooth. Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top.
Bake cake until top is firm and edges are slightly darkened, 55–65 minutes (rely on visual cues; a tester inserted into cake's center will come out clean before cake is truly done). Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely in pan before turning out.
For glaze and assembly:
Heat chocolate, butter, and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring, until chocolate and butter are melted, about 5 minutes. Whisk in powdered sugar.
Meanwhile, bring wine just to a boil in a small saucepan.
Remove chocolate mixture from heat and whisk in wine; let cool until slightly thickened and a rubber spatula leaves a trail in mixture when stirring, 8–10 minutes.
Set cake on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour glaze over cake and spread it across the top and over the edges with an offset spatula. Let cake stand at room temperature until glaze is set, 2–3 hours.
DO AHEAD: Cake can be made and glazed 2 days ahead. Chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Survey: Corporates See Dire Consequences to Default, Political Theater
Staff Writers
WASHINGTON –Financial executives see dire consequences to prolonged political theater in Washington and a potential U.S. government default, according to a survey released Monday by AFP.
On October 3-4, AFP surveyed financial executives in the corporate treasury and finance departments of a broad range of U.S. companies across many industries, receiving 964 responses. The survey found that in the near term, finance executives believe political wrangling in Washington will lead to reduced demand for goods and services and that a failure to raise the debt ceiling in time will result in reduced capital expenditures and reduced hiring or layoffs at many companies.
But the damage goes beyond just short-term consequences. Forty percent of organizations report that they are holding back on making growth-oriented investments in the U.S. because they are having difficulty evaluating U.S. investments, due to the recurring battles over budgets and debt limits.
"Companies are issuing a warning: A default will lead to lower capital investment and job losses, and slowing business activity amid an already-tepid recovery," said Jim Kaitz, AFP's president and CEO. "Companies are already expecting lower demand for their goods and services as a result of the budget and debt ceiling impasse."
Finance professionals expect lingering uncertainty emanating from Washington to impact demand for their products and services, with 41 percent expecting a negative impact on their own products and services and 35 percent expecting their companies to have decreased demand for others' products and services.
A default would make U.S. Treasury securities, an investment vehicle used in many companies' short-term investment portfolios, far less attractive. The survey found that one-sixth of U.S. organizations currently holding U.S.
Treasury securities would shift out most or all of those investments if the debt ceiling isn't raised in time. Another 36 percent of organizations would hold onto their current holdings of Treasuries, but would not purchase these securities going forward.
Meanwhile, half of the respondents say that a government default would harm their organization's access to, and raise their cost of, capital. An increase in the cost of bank credit and higher cost of debt financing were each cited as possible outcomes by 27 percent of financial professionals.

This Week in Corporate Finance: Lukewarm Outlook?
This was another week where the equity markets touched new or multi-year highs, the bond market sold off a bit, and the economic outlook is lukewarm at best.

AFP EconWatch: U.S. Economy Stumbles
The U.S. economy created fewer jobs in March than it had in any previous month since last summer. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that non-farm payrolls expanded by a seasonally adjusted 88,000 workers last month, the first time the economy failed to create at least 100,000 jobs since it added 87,000 workers last June.
This Week in Corporate Finance: U.S. Payrolls Weaker than Expected
The see-saw which is the U.S. economy continued again last week as a weaker-than-expected payrolls report put a bit of a damper on the recent positive narrative we had been witnessing. Concerns about the economy not being as robust as previously thought caused money to move in a classic "risk-off" trade and U.S. Treasury securities were the beneficiaries at the expense of the equity market.

Microsoft: Low-cost Windows gaining ground

Ballmer: High-end Windows, Office comingJuly 28, 2005
Piracy-check mandatory for Windows add-onsJuly 25, 2005
Microsoft expands low-cost Windows to MexicoJune 28, 2005
Will Poole, senior vice president of Microsoft's Windows Client unit, gave out the sales figure on Thursday here, at the company's yearly meeting with financial analysts.
For months, the software company has been expanding the number of countries in which it sells the operating system, a basic version of Windows that is sold in conjunction with a new PC. Microsoft initiated the program in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. It has since expanded sales to India, Brazil and, more recently, to Mexico and Spanish-speaking Latin America.
"We feel very good about how this has gotten going," Poole told the audience of analysts.
The sales figure is the first time the company has addressed how many people are buying Starter Edition. Critics have maintained that the operating system is too inflexible to appeal to many would-be PC owners, noting that Starter Edition carries limitations on the number of programs and windows that can be open at any given time. Poole said that Microsoft plans to step up efforts to work with telecommunications firms in emerging countries. He said the goal is to have deals in which a cutomer pays around $13 to $15 per month and gets broadband access as well as a PC.
The low-cost effort is a critical part of Microsoft's attempts to grow sales of Windows, which is already found on more than 90 percent of desktop and notebook computers. Microsoft's other key projects are a crackdown on piracy, and efforts to get customers in developed nations to buy more PCs as well as machines running pricier versions of Windows, such as Tablet PC or Media Center edition.
Poole noted that the overall Windows business faces several key challenges, such as the reluctance by buyers to upgrade from older versions of the OS and the threat posed by open-source operating systems. Poole also specifically highlighted a renewed threat from Mac maker Apple Computer, which has been making some computer market share gains, in part as a result of the widespread popularity of its iPod portable music player.
"We certainly recognize Apple's success with the iPod," Poole said, adding that the company has noticed "a bit of a halo"--meaning that the iPod has translated into greater Mac sales.
Earlier on Thursday, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer highlighted the company's broader growth prospects, including the antipiracy effort as well as Microsoft's move toward pricier versions of both Office and Windows.

IKONICS sets all time sales record
IKONICS Corp. (IKNX) reported all-time record quarter sales for the second quarter of 2014 at $4.9 million and the third consecutive record sales on a quarter-to-quarter comparison.
Sales increased by 6 percent over the second quarter of 2013, and on a year-to-date basis are up 8 percent. Earnings declined by 32 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013 to $198,000, or 10 cents per diluted share, but on an annual basis, earnings are up 96 percent over the first half of 2013 to 20 cents per diluted share.
Bill Ulland, IKONICS CEO, said that the earnings decline for the quarter primarily reflected increased costs related to the company's micro-machining division, which is gearing up for anticipated sales growth as commercial aerospace customers are expected to begin introducing a next generation of aircraft beginning in the second half of this year and accelerating in 2015. Ulland also stated that there has been a delay in the ramp up of a portion of this business because one of the new jet engines for which IKONICS has provided sound deadening components has experienced a delay in certification due to certain mechanical problems unrelated to IKONICS' technology. Ulland indicated that he anticipates an early resolution of this problem.
"We just received an order for machining vents in the carbon fiber fuselage of a new generation helicopter," Ulland said. "To date our focus has been on sound deadening for aft liners and intake cowls, so fuselage machining represents an important new opportunity for our technology.
"We are in the process of evaluating an expansion to accommodate this anticipated growth in business," he added. "If the business case justifies the investment, we anticipate beginning construction in the spring of 2015 with manufacturing operations beginning that fall. We are seeking government assistance to help us with what would be a large investment for the company and one that entails some risk."
Traditional business units performed well during the quarter with Domestic Chromaline and Export setting all-time quarterly sales records and IKONICS Imaging posting a 13 percent growth in sales over the second quarter of 2013, Ulland said.
"DTX also has made some recent progress with new ink and substrate products that meet stringent customer demands and allow us to ship printed images and prototype parts to customers worldwide. I anticipate that DTX will be profitable by the end of year and will be a strong contributor to sales and profits in 2015," he said.

David Passaro Sentenced to 100 months imprisonment:
First American Civilian Convicted of Detainee Abuse
During the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
RALEIGH - United States Attorney George E. B. Holding announced today that DAVID A. PASSARO, 40, of Lillington, N. C., was sentenced to 100 months imprisonment, and 3 years supervised release. On August 17, 2006, PASSARO was convicted on one felony and three related misdemeanor counts charged in the indictment by a jury in United States District Court, Raleigh, North Carolina following an seven-day trial before United States District Judge Terrence W. Boyle. PASSARO was sentenced to 100 months on one count of felony assault resulting in serious bodily harm and six months on the three remaining counts of misdemeanor simple assault to run concurrently with each other and the sentence for Count One. U. S. Attorney Holding stated that "Passaro's conduct was an affront to all of our men and women serving and fighting to spread freedom and the rule of law. The sentence today, clearly shows that no one is above or below the laws of the United States."
PASSARO, a former contractor working on behalf of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), was stationed at the U. S. Army base at Asadabad in the Kunar Province of Afghanistan in June, 2003. On June 18, 2003, PASSARO and military personnel took an Afghan man named Abdul Wali into custody after he had surrendered himself at the front gate of the Asadabad Base. Wali was wanted for questioning in rocket attacks on the base and was placed in a detention cell located within the base. Evidence presented in the trial also established that on June 19, 2003, and June 20, 2003, PASSARO interrogated Wali about the rocket attacks, and that during these interrogations PASSARO beat Wali using his hands and feet, a mag-lite and a large spotting light. Wali died on June 21, 2003, while still in custody at Asadabad Base.
PASSARO is the first American civilian charged and convicted of mistreating a detainee during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This case was referred to the Department of Justice by the Central Intelligence Agency and investigated by the CIA's Office of Inspector General, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U. S. Marshal's Service. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U. S. Attorney James A. Candelmo from the Eastern District of North Carolina and by Assistant U. S. Attorney Michael P. Sullivan from the Southern District of Florida, Counter Terrorism Section of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

'Chuck' return countdown: Watch the latest promo
There's been a kind of radio silence on the "Chuck" front from NBC since its fall run ended in late November -- no photos from upcoming episodes, no video clips, nothing.
To our great relief, that silence was broken on Wednesday (Jan. 12) with a new teaser for Monday's return episode. It's up above, and while you won't get a whole lot of plot information from the promo, it does appear to be full of new footage from upcoming episodes.
It also features Sarah ( Yvonne Strahovski) in a very Sydney Bristow-esque disguise: Her black catsuit and jet-black wig, which causes a befuddled Chuck ( Zachary Levi) to tell her, "It's kind of like I'm cheating on you with you."
We're just happy to start the official countdown -- so T-minus 5 days and counting until "Chuck" returns to NBC at 8 p.m. ET Monday.

'Nikita's' Noah Bean lands recurring role on FOX's 'Gang Related'Add to Favorites | Nikita
Now that "Nikita" is ending, the series' stars are beginning to find new jobs.
The first to book a new role? Noah Bean, who just booked a recurring role on another upcoming drama series, FOX's "Gang Related," Deadline reports.
"Gang Related" is a gritty new action-drama focused on Detective Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez), a rising star in Los Angeles' elite Gang Task Force. What the world doesn't know is that long before Ryan was a cop, he pledged allegiance to a different band of brothers -- a powerful Latino gang called Los Angelicos. Bean will play Jason Manning, a Stanford educated, rich hedge fund owner.
Before Bean shows up on "Gang Related," he'll end his run on "Nikita," about to kick off its fourth and final season. Bean plays Ryan Fletcher, former-CIA analyst turned head of Division.
The final season of "Nikita" premieres Friday, Nov. 22 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills "Housewives" Reveal Their Plastic Surgeries
It's hard to talk about Beverly Hills — or any of the real housewives — without mentioning plastic surgery. (We know. We've already written about it here and here.)
But just suspecting that the wives have had a little nip or tuck here and there is very different from actually hearing it from each of their mouths. On air. At the same time.
That's exactly what happened last week when the RHoBH were interviewed on Judith Regan's SIRIUS XM show. Regan dared to asked the question every one's been dying to know the answer to, but nobody wanted to ask: "What have YOU had done?"
Apparently most of the women weren't too intimidated by the question because they offered some pretty candid answers.
So, what have they had done?
Kim Richards: "I did a little Botox at one point with my sister, and I did have implants that I had taken out. They made them too big, and I couldn't see my feet. Not that I loved my toes, but I would like to glance at them now and then."
Kyle Richards: "I did have my nose done. I have done Botox. My husband doesn't know, but he does now … But these are my own boobs!"
Adrienne Maloof: "Botox, fillers, boobs, nose … No lips … No cheek bones."
Lisa Vanderpump: "I plead the fifth … Okay, I have a bucket of Botox in my face!"
Taylor Armstrong: "Just start from the top, right? You should've seen what I looked like before - oh my God! I mean, scary! So yeah … filler [lips], Botox. And I had my boobs done."
Camille Grammer: "Oh God, what have I done? Let's see, obviously I've had a breast augmentation and … Botox absolutely — just a crock full of Botox."'
Thanks for your honesty, ladies.

Today being ANZAC DAY.........did anyone get down to Kanchanaburi????
Today being ANZAC DAY.........did anyone get down to Kanchanaburi????
There are many who take the run out to Hellfire Pass each Anzac Day. Some venture on to the Three Pagodas Pass, a true gem & lacking no less history than Hellfire Pass. The most adventurous continue on from there through the largest wild animal thoroughfare in SE Asia to Umphang in the north.
Add to this the current craze to tour Myanmar.
Adventurers in the areas concerned should be aware of the increased risks associated with malaria as this recent article from the University of Washington outline:
Thailand: Drug resistant malaria on the rise along the Thai-Myanmar border
The number of artemisinin/mafloquine-resistant cases is on the rise along the Thai-Myanmar border, according to Kanchanaburi health workers.
In October 2012, a girl from Myanmars Karen ethnic minority tested positive for malaria. She was back for a follow-up test after a combined treatment of the anti-malarial drugs artemisinin and mefloquine. She has tested negative, Malaria Post worker Laksanna Kaewlere said. Had she tested positive, she would have joined the growing ranks of patients for whom the most recent drug against the malaria parasite artemisinin has failed.
Artemisinin is usually used in combination with other anti-malarial drugs, such as mafloquine. The number of artemisinin/mafloquine-resistant cases is on the rise along the Thai-Myanmar border, according to Kanchanaburi health workers. In 2012, 41 out of 207 cases of malaria proved resistant to artemisinin/mafloquine treatment, said Wittaya Saiphromsud, head of the Vector Borne Disease Centre in Sai Yok district, Kanchanaburi, 125 kilometers west of Bangkok. Wittaya asks patients with a resistant strain of malaria to go for follow-up treatment at Sai Yok Hospital, but not all do. Some people dont want to pay the bus fare to the hospital. Others dont have Thai identity papers so they are afraid of being harassed by police if they leave their village, and others are just disobedient.
By refusing follow-up treatment, malaria carriers increase the risk of transmitting via mosquitoes their drug-resilient malaria parasites to others, including across the border in Myanmar, where health services are rudimentary after decades of neglect.
The rise in drug-resistant malaria is also due to counterfeit or sub-standard anti-malaria drugs, usually made in India or China, in the remote border regions of Myanmar and Cambodia. Sub-standard, or weaker artemisinin, allows the parasite to build up resistance, as it has to previous anti-malaria drugs including chloroquine, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and quinine-tetracycline, all of which have lost their effectiveness over the past 6 decades. There are now growing fears among international health agencies that artemisinin, still widely used and effective in Africa, is losing its punch.
The porous border regions of Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia, have a long history as the cradle of antimalarial resistance, and have now become the breeding ground for artemisinin-resistant parasites. The problem is still located in the western part of Cambodia and western part of Thailand, said Charles Delacolet, Thailand director for the World Health Organisation. These are the only two confirmed hot spots for artemisinin-resistant malaria. The fear is that these artemisinin-resistant malarial strains will migrate across Myanmar to India and eventually Africa, which accounts for about 90% of the worlds annual death toll of 650,000 malaria victims. Our country is the gateway for the spread of drug-resistant parasites westward, down to Africa, said Saw Lwin, deputy director-general of Myanmars Health Department. If we cant contain the problem at the source of the infection, it can spread to other regions, so this is a global issue, he told a recent seminar in Kanchanaburi.
The appearance of artemisinin-resistant malaria comes at a time when the Global Fund, which contributes 60% of the three billion dollars spent annually on internationally financed anti-malarial campaigns worldwide, is experiencing a budget crunch. The Global Fund will decide on its new malaria budget in Decem*ber 2012. The Roll Back Malaria Partnership, set up in 1998 to coordinate international efforts to wipe out malaria, is hoping that new funding will be focused on the hot spots on Thailands bor*ders to nip artemisinin-resistant malaria in the bud.
The opportunity to deal with this resistance is relatively short, said Roll Back Malarias executive director Fatoumata Nafo-Traore. So what needs to be done is to say now that we have a small window of opportunity to contain the resistance, so lets contain it.

Whether you are starting a new bar business, hotel or restaurant; or whether you are merely setting up a home bar, getting stocked up can be quite challenging. Not only do you have to think about all the wet stock, the drinks, but also you need to ensure you have the right bar accessories, pub furniture and equipment.
Fortunately much of the bar equipment you will need will depend entirely on the drinks you plan to stock and/or sell. So ordering bar equipment when you are preparing you wet stock is one way of taking some of the headache out of buying bar equipment and accessories.
Spirits: The key bar supplies and accessories you will need for serving spirits are glasses and measure.
Wine: Other than wine glasses (that can take both small and large measures) wine measures will be needed if the glasses have no marks on them.
Beer: If you are serving draft beer then drip trays are a must as are bar towels, bar trays and beer mats.

Narragansett, RI -- September 5, 2002 -- Winter flounder in Narragansett Bay is currently down some 96 percent from its all-time high. The species that once made up 50 percent of the inshore fishers income is now a mere vestige of its former glory. And the likely culprit is warming ocean and bay waters.
Perry Jeffries, URI Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) professor emeritus of biological oceanography, will present a free public lecture that looks at what happens when Global Warming Hits the Fishes of the Narragansett Bay Area. The lecture will take place in the Coastal Institute Auditorium on the URI Bay Campus in Narragansett on Tuesday, September 17 at noon.
Jeffriess visual lecture will describe how Narragansett Bay has changed as a result of warming water temperatures. While the amount of fish has not declined, the distribution of species has changed considerably. For instance, "during the flounders collapse," said Jeffries, "scup, a warm-water species, ventured into the bay to take its place. But butterfish, another warm-water migrant, also moved in."
"The winter flounder population entered the new millennium at less than 10 percent of its former numbers," added Jeffries. "Against a background of warmer winters, this flounders future is not promising."
Jeffries, a long-time resident of West Kingston, received his B.S. and M.S. from the University of Rhode Island and his Ph.D. at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He became an Assistant Professor of Oceanography at URI in 1959, two years before the establishment of GSO. Jeffries recalls that his first office was in a jail cell at the Washington County Jail, temporary home of the URI Narragansett Marine Lab following the fire that destroyed its home at Fort Kearny, site of the Bay
Campus in Narragansett. Jeffriess research interest include the ecology of coastal waters and the behavior of marine communities adjusting to environmental change.
Established in 1985 to support and promote the activities of the URI Graduate School of Oceanography, Friends of Oceanography informs and educates the membership and the general public about the scientific, technological, and environmental research that takes place at GSO. The organization sponsors public lectures, open houses, marine-related mini-courses, science cruises on Narragansett Bay, and an annual auction. The Friends office is located in the Coastal Institute building on URI's Narragansett Bay Campus. For information about Friends of Oceanography, call 874-6642.

BOSTON (AP) - Ted Kennedy's wife says his cancer treatment has
added a new word to her husband's vocabulary: "fatigue."
She says that's the only side effect he's been experiencing
during treatment for brain cancer. The Massachusetts senator is
midway through six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy.
In an e-mail to family and friends sent last week, Vicki Kennedy
says her husband is coping well with the fatigue and tackling the
disease with "his trademark grit and determination." She says
after his morning treatments at Massachusetts General Hospital,
Kennedy frequently goes sailing on his schooner "Mya."
The e-mail was obtained by The Associated Press from a Kennedy
Vicki Kennedy says her husband describes his cancer as "a
bear." But she calls him "a lion," adding that she's "betting
on the lion."

Remember Pepe la Pew, the cartoon skunk? Pepe would follow the lovely black feline Penelope Pussycat, who, in some episodes painted a white stripe on her back to escape dog harassment and in others she got it by accident by scooting under a newly painted white fence.
In any case, Pepe was a persistent suitor. I loved this classic cartoon as a child but now I have an entirely different respect for Pepe's sensibilites. His character was not so far off from a real skunk's unabashed pursuit of love this time of the year.

Step away from the video games. Let go of the joy stick. Turn off the television.
Go play in the snow!
Finding snow pictures is getting more and more difficult as pastimes have changed direction.
I hate to sound like my grandfather spinning a yarn, but when I was growing up, a big, even a moderate, snowfall meant a day with rosy cheeks and cold hands.
My friends and I would go from yard to yard creating snowmen to adorn each of our lawns. We would also build igloos and have snowball wars.
Now, it's all about the video wars.

10. Louisa Adams
Probably doesn't help that you dress like those bird things from The Dark Crystal.

We're surprised she would be this low. Grossest scenario: Barbara saying, "Read my lips. Those lips".

Poor FDR was crippled and a lesbian wife. Wonderful person. Just not a looker. A licker, just not a looker.

Klingon forehead. And her name is fucking Lucretia.

2. Abigail Fillmore
Little House on the Prairie meets Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. No thank you.
1. William R. King
Our 15th President, James Buchanan never married. He did, however, live for 15 years with William R. King. We suspect hanky panky.

Warning out vs fake LinkedIn emails leading to malware
Fake email invitations from professional networking service LinkedIn may lead to the dreaded Cridex malware, a security research firm warned.
GFI Labs said those who click on the links from the fake emails may be sent to a BlackHole exploit that will drop the malware to the computer.
"Cridex is a rather nasty piece of work that does everything from target banks and social networking accounts to a little bit of CAPTCHA cracking," it said in a blog post.
It said the IP addresses of the LinkedIn spam run appeared to be the same as those of earlier BBB and Intuit spam runs in recent weeks.
GFI advised computer users to go directly to LinkedIn and check their invites from there, if they have doubts about a LinkedIn mail.
"If in doubt, go directly to Linkedin and check your invites from there," it said. — TJD, GMA News
