Generation X Americans, those born between 1965 and 1979, formed the largest single group of homebuyers in a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). The generation immediately behind them, however, the so-called Millenials are already in purchase mode and promising to have significant impact on the market. NAR's survey of homebuyers found that Gen Xers bought 31 percent of homes during the subject period – June 2011 to June 2012 – followed closely by Millenials, those born between 1980 and 2000 who bought 28 percent. This is good news as that the younger group is the second largest generation in history after the Baby Boomers, and only the oldest of them are reaching the age in which people typically buy a first home. Thus they could be poised to provide…(read more)

Valentine 'Val' Cervantes
Valentine "Val" Cervantes, 75, of Plano, Texas, formerly of Wichita Falls, passed away Sunday, May 6, 2012.
He was born February 14, 1937, in Canadian, Texas. Val joined the Air Force and achieved the rank of MSgt and retired from active duty while stationed at Sheppard. Though he had multiple tours of duty at Sheppard, it was during his time stationed in Japan; Val met his bride, Toyoko "T.C.," whom he married at the United States Embassy in Japan. After retirement, Val started a second career in the auto industry working, among other places, as sales manager at the former Longhorn Chevrolet in Wichita Falls and ultimately owning and operating Valentine Motors on Jacksboro Highway.
After retiring from his second career, Val volunteered as the Texas State Associate Coordinator for Community Operations, which oversees the AARP and continued his involvement in the Wichita Falls Chapter of El Club Capri. For his many hours of volunteer service to the community, he received the honor of being recognized as the 2002 Wichita County Hispanic Man of the Year.
He is survived by his wife of over 50 years, T.C. Cervantes; a son and daughter-in-law, Brian and Denise Cervantes of Plano; two step-grandsons, Charles Sadler of Marshall, Texas, and Sgt. Christopher and his wife, Holli Sadler, of Ft. Polk, Louisiana; and five step-great-grandchildren, Gavin, Isabella, Aeden, Jonah and Sydney Sadler of Ft. Polk, Louisiana. He also is survived by four brothers and their wives, Leo and Kim Cervantes of Wichita Falls; Manuel and Mary Cervantes of Fredericksburg, Indiana; Phillip and Juana Cervantes and Bobby and Ana Cervantes of Canadian, Texas.
The rosary service is scheduled for 1 p.m., Saturday, May 12, 2012, at the chapel of Owens and Brumley Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donation be made to: The Wichita Falls Club Capri Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 2581, Wichita Falls, Texas, 76307-2581.

Bored of using a mouse? Soon you'll be able to change stuff on your computer screen – and then move it directly onto your smartphone or tablet – with nothing more than a glance.
A system called EyeDrop uses a head-mounted eye tracker that simultaneously records your field of view so it knows where you are looking on the screen. Gazing at an object – a photo, say – and then pressing a key, selects that object. It can then be moved from the screen to a tablet or smartphone just by glancing at the second device, as long as the two are connected wirelessly.
"The beauty of using gaze to support this is that our eyes naturally focus on content that we want to acquire," says Jayson Turner, who developed the system with colleagues at Lancaster University, UK.
Turner believes EyeDrop would be useful to transfer an interactive map or contact information from a public display to your smartphone or for sharing photos.
Midas touch
A button needs to be used to select the object you are looking at otherwise you end up with the "Midas touch" effect, whereby everything you look at gets selected by your gaze, says Turner. "Imagine if your mouse clicked on everything it pointed at," he says.
Christian Holz, a researcher in human-computer interaction at Yahoo Labs in Sunnyvale, California, says the system is a nice take on getting round this fundamental problem of using gaze-tracking to interact. "EyeDrop solves this in a slick way by combining it with input on the touch devices we carry with us most of the time anyway and using touch input as a clutching mechanism," he says. "This now allows users to seamlessly interact across devices far and close in a very natural manner."
While current eye-trackers are rather bulky, mainstream consumer devices are not too far away. Swedish firm Tobii is developing gaze-tracking technology that can be installed in laptops and tablets and is expected to be available to buy next year. And the Google Glass headset is expected to include eye-tracking in a future iteration.
Turner says he has also looked at how content can be cut and pasted or drag-and-dropped using a mix of gaze and taps on a touchscreen. The system was presented at the Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia in Luleå, Sweden, last week.

When I was ten we had a 1965 Impala for our family car. It must have been a six cyclinder because if you punched the gas pedal it proceeded foward slowly. This biodiesel number does zero to sixty in 3 seconds! Wouldn't I love to own it!

U.S. hospitals are making major strides at clamping down on early deliveries of babies and instead letting Mother Nature take its course in response to growing pressure from employers, government officials and patient-safety advocates.
The Leapfrog Group, an employer-backed organization that tracks hospital safety and quality, published data Monday showing a sharp decrease in early-elective deliveries since 2010 nationwide and in California.
The rate of deliveries before 39 weeks without a medical reason fell to 4.6% last year compared with 17% in 2010 among nearly 1,000 U.S. hospitals that reported results. California hospitals showed similar progress, going from 14.7% in 2010 to 3% last year.
"This is a remarkable reduction," said Edward McCabe, chief medical officer at the March of Dimes, which has pushed hospitals to address the issue. "It involves changing the culture of the hospital and that is always very hard to do."
In early-elective deliveries, the potential complications to the baby range from breathing and feeding problems to infections. The rate of infant mortality, or death in the first year, rises by 50% for those early births compared to babies who reach full-term, research shows.
Scheduling for convenience also boosts the likelihood of a cesarean section, which raises the risk of complications for the mother. It's estimated these unnecessary early deliveries increase healthcare costs by as much as $1 billion annually.
There are still hospitals where the rate of early deliveries is still relatively high, at 20% and 30% of all births. About a third of the 969 hospitals that reported data are still above Leapfrog's target rate of 5%.
But the swift improvement overall stands out compared to efforts to fix other long-standing quality and cost problems inside hospitals. Despite public attention and industry efforts, the incidence of medical errors, preventable infections and readmissions often remains stubbornly high.
"Healthcare takes a long time to change," said Leah Binder, chief executive of Leapfrog, a nonprofit group in Washington. "This is one of the most extraordinary examples of progress in healthcare that I've seen in my career."
Leapfrog began publicly reporting this maternity data four years ago, and health-policy experts credit that exposure for spurring change. The Obama administration has just begun collecting this data from hospitals nationwide as part of patient-safety efforts under the Affordable Care Act.
In response to the heightened scrutiny, many hospitals have recently adopted "hard-stop" policies, banning doctors from scheduling deliveries prior to 39 completed weeks without a medical reason.
Some health insurers and government health programs have sought to hit hospitals and doctors in the wallet. In South Carolina, the state's Medicaid program and the BlueCross BlueShield health plan there stopped paying for early-elective deliveries.
South Carolina had one of the country's highest rates of early-elective deliveries in 2010, at 27.3%. Last year, the statewide average was under 5%, according to Leapfrog.
Binder said some hospitals have been reluctant to tackle the issue because admissions to the neonatal-intensive-care unit and longer stays are good for the bottom line. Leapfrog's data on individual hospitals is available at the group's website.
"It does populate the NICU and that is a profit center for hospitals," Binder said. "Unfortunately, we still don't have the right payment incentives to make this easy for hospitals to do."
St. Francis Medical Center of Lynwood said it saw a drop in those intensive-care admissions after adopting tougher rules about a year ago. Doctors must now get approval from the department chairman for an early delivery.
The hospital's rate of early-elective deliveries went from 24% in 2012 to less than 9% last year, according to Leapfrog's data.
Dr. Wilburn Durousseau, chairman of the obstetrics and gynecology department at St. Francis, said he usually reviews one or two requests each week. He said it can be an adjustment for doctors who were taught that delivering at 37 weeks was acceptable.
For three decades, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has advised against early-elective deliveries. But just last year, it redefined a full-term birth as 39 to nearly 41 weeks to reflect recent research that shows the importance each week can have on the health of a newborn.
"You came up believing what you were doing was correct," Durousseau said. "There is a certain amount of intellectual resistance to change."

Just stopping by to wish you a great week ahead and the coming weekend is relaxing and stress free. I've been enjoying the nice weather here the last couple of days and working in the yard planting flowers. The gophers have been enjoying the nice weather too and have started visiting me regularly the last couple of days, so the war has begun.

I am very interested in building this multi band vertical as printed in ARRL's
Simple and Fun Antennas titled "WA5ABR's Homebrew Seven Band Vertical.
It is a multiband vertical with parallel feed (only one coax feeding all elements), using aluminum elements and plexiglass to "support" and seperate the seperate vertical elements.
I own a 259 Antenna Analyzer.
If you have not built this, what do you think of it?
Has anyone built this antenna? If so:
1. Are you still using yours?
2. Any problems with interactions between the vertical elements?
3. I was also considering using two or more separate feedlines, I have
read where this would reduce interactions.
4. Mainly I am interested in 40, 20. 15 and 10. For 40, I would either
have 25 ft vertical and capacitive top loading (prob about 4 ft diameter top
hat) OR use a full sized vertical element.
5. I am also considering adding 75 by using somewhere between 25 and 35 ft
vertical and the rest of the 75 meter wire horizontal (inverted L).
7. How about adding a vertical element for 6 meters?
I am an older ham who is trying to get back up on the air. The city I live
in, Aurora, CO, does not have any inspections or requirements for antennas 25 ft
and under. For anything over that, a Colorado certified Engineer must sign off
on antenna plans, and 35 ft high is the max.
I also own a cabin in the CO mtns and need an antenna there. Restrictions

Watch Anna Kendrick's Newcastle Super Bowl ad storyboards: Body paint, giant robots and moreAdd to Favorites | Super Bowl XLVII
After finding out how close Anna Kendrick came to starring in Newcastle's 2014 Super Bowl ad, before they realized they didn't actually have one, you might be curious about what the commercial entailed.
After all, Kendrick says it was going to pay her big money and involve a nude scene. Well, thanks to the good people at Newcastle, you can see their plan now through a series of storyboards. They include everything from Kendrick wearing nothing but body paint to hyper-intelligent apes and giant robots. There's even cats on skateboards.
Surely, this would have been the most amazing and mind-blowing Super Bowl commercial of all time, if were ever actually going to happen. Instead, the world will have to live through these drawings, which tell a pretty incredible story.

text: SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Even Notre Dame's offensive coordinator doesn't know what the future holds for the team's quarterback situation. "I have no idea," Chuck Martin said Wednesday. "If you've got a crystal ball and you could tell me, that would be awesome. … I wouldn't have predicted the first four games. We've played two different quarterbacks in every game, and we're 4-0. So we're doing whatever we can to try to win."

Now here's an excuse why I haven't finished this yet:
My company sent me on a 6-week trip to Oregon and there was barely time to waste on the web. What I did instead was this ...
It was Friday afternoon and for the first time we decided not to work on the weekend. So I rushed
back to the hotel to do a quick search on motorcycle rentals in the area. One place in Portland
rented VStroms and I remembered that there were some positive comments on ADV (or the HUBB).
So I called Doug:
[me] Can you rent me a bike for the weekend?
[Doug] Sure. When do you want to ride? We usually bring the bike to your hotel the night before.
[me] Oh, that would be tonight, then. Too early?
[Doug] Well, if you have internet, you could do the paperwork right now and I could bring the bike in
an hour.
[me] Cool. Let's do that.
[Doug] What's your sizes for helmet and gear?
A little bit later a van pulled the Wee on the parking lot.
[Doug] You know, most people call in November if they want to ride in August ...
The next morning I headed north towards Mount St. Helens. To cover distance I started on
the highways and it only took some 10mins before someone tried to kill me by changing lanes
without looking or signaling. Now this is something you're always expecting in every part of
this world, so I just hit the brakes and swayed towards the left shoulder.
Note to self: There's no ABS and the rear gets really light under braking ...
Soon I left the highway and turned onto the smaller roads which lead around the volcano.
By this time the clouds which had covered the sky in the morning disappeared and bright
sunlight warmed me up. The winding and narrow roads had some potholes here and there
due to minor landslides - perfect roads to show the abilities of the Wee.
When I got closer to the volcano scenic view points invited for short breaks every few minutes.
Finally I could enjoy the view into the volcano from Windy Ridge. The lake in front is partly
covered by floating logs.
Later I turned south towards the Columbia river where I stopped for the night. The next day I wanted to circle Mount Hood.
After a while I realized that all the nice curves had disappeared. This was not what I had in mind.
A look on the map revealed that I had been riding into the wrong direction for the last hour. So I
found me a speeding car and rushed back.
This time I found the right turn and found my way back to the hotel.
Not only the Wee had worked great, even the gear turned out to be excellent (I might ask Doug
for the brand, so I can by the jacket for myself.), only the helmet was rattling a bit.
Doug had also equipped me with Bags, first aid kit, tools, tire repair kid, compressor and
some spares. The only thing I had to bring was my drivers license. So if you're looking
for a rental bike in the Portland area, I can recommend doing a google search on 'VStrom
rental Portland' ...
Meanwhile I'm back in Germany and there's finally some time for vacation. My bike is almost packed and ready for the trip ...

The first quarter of Monday's nonleague boys' basketball game between Ocean View and Huntington Beach gave every indication that a fierce battle would ensue. The teams traded early punches, one taking the lead before the other regained it. A back-and-forth battle seemed imminent.
But the game switched gears in the second quarter and by halftime, there was little doubt as to which team would emerge victorious.
Ocean View turned a second-quarter blitz into an insurmountable lead and the visiting Seahawks went from a four-point lead after one quarter to a 31-point lead at the half and an eventual 82-68 win.
Ocean View, which won its ninth straight game, scored 38 second-quarter points to overwhelm the Oilers. The Seahawks, ranked second in CIF Southern Section Division 2AA and 15-3 overall, led at the half, 56-25.
"Our defense turned into offense in that first half, and it was beautiful," Ocean View co-Coach Jimmy Harris said. "The energy we get from our defense really drives our offense. But for how well we played in the first half, we really didn't do much in the second half. That was frustrating."
Ocean View and Huntington Beach have played annually on Martin Luther King Day for the past five years. Monday's win by the Seahawks gave them a 3-2 lead in the MLK Day series.
"We love to win this game," Harris said. "It's an in-city rivalry, the kids know each other and the fans know each other, too. It's a great community game and (Huntington Beach Coach) Fabian (Luna) is awesome and does such a great job with his program."
Ocean View's 7-foot center Conor Clifford scored 18 of his team-high 23 points in the opening half. He also had 13 rebounds.
Huntington Beach's Blake Skorich hit six three-point shots and led all scorers with 25 points.
Huntington closes out the first half of Sunset League play at 7 p.m. Friday with a home game against Marina. Ocean View also ends first half play in the Golden West League play Friday with a 7 p.m. home game against Segerstrom.
In other boys' basketball action:
Brethren Christian: The Warriors won two games in the past week. On Saturday, they defeated Vistamar of El Segundo, 68-40, in the Small Schools Showcase. Junior center Mamadou Ndiaye had 21 points, 11 rebounds and two blocked shots.
BC previously defeated Sage Hill, 94-72, in Academy League play Friday. Junior Dakota Warren had a game-high 27 points. Ndiaye contributed 26 points, 16 rebounds and four blocked shots.
The Warriors, who are 4-0 in league and 16-5 overall, play at 7:30 p.m. Friday at St. Margaret's.
Edison: The Chargers stepped away from Sunset League play last Saturday and took on Redondo Union at the Coaches vs. Cancer Showcase at Villa Park High. The Chargers lost to the Seahawks, 59-49. Senior guard Corey Foster scored a game-high 24 points for Edison.
In two Sunset League games last week, Edison fell, 59-53, at Fountain Valley on Jan. 11 and edged past visiting Huntington Beach, 40-38, on Friday.
The Chargers, who entered the week 2-1 in league and 15-4 overall, take to the road Friday to face league-leading Los Alamitos at 7 p.m.
Fountain Valley: The Barons improved to 13-5 and 2-1 in the Sunset League in the past week by defeating Edison, 59-53, and Marina, 57-48.
Fountain Valley scored 21 points and held Edison to just seven in the fourth quarter of a Jan. 11 league game to rally from an eight-point deficit.
Second-year Coach Roger Holmes said it was the first time Fountain Valley had defeated Edison in seven years.

purple BEST OF THE SEASON purple FASHION Magazine : S/S 2013 issue 19
Australia first fell in love with its homegrown girl Miranda Kerr during her days as a teen model for local surf brands. Then it was America's turn when she became a Victoria Secret Angel in 2007. Next, Paris took note: Nicolas Ghesquière booked her at Balenciaga to walk his runway exclusively for a season. Not only has she since become a high-fashion model, but numerous cosmetics brands have chosen her for their campaigns because of her fresh face and skin, turning her into one of the world's highest-paid models.
Miranda Kerr's girl-next-door looks, personal style, and sexiness make her the prototype of today's supermodel: a girl who excels in everything from sports to high fashion, cosmetics and lingerie, and is even willing to pose nude to support a good cause. Even though all this success could have made her a diva, she's still the friendliest, most down-to-earth girl around. She's using her fame to promote a healthy lifestyle through her organic skincare line, Kora.
But the truth is that what we enjoy most are her playful charm, optimistic energy, and the fearless attitude that this Terry Richardson story captures.

Elastomeric stucco paint
Instead of adding colorant to my final stucco layer I'm thinking of applying elastomeric paint after the stucco has cured and dried completely. I think I can pretty much get the exact color mixed and the stucco will have a nice surface finish to it as well.
Has anyone done this and is there anything else I should consider? Thanks.
Re: Elastomeric stucco paint
That's exactly what I did. I used Behr (Home Depot) Masonry/Stucco paint. Works great! I painted mine twice because we didn't like the first color we chose. Here are links to the first and second paint jobs:
I wouldn't hesitate to go the painting route again.
Re: Elastomeric stucco paint
I used a locally-made "render paint". They had various options for texture; I went with the finest one. It was a lovely paint to work with; really thick, and it looked like you could eat it! I've never worked with paint that I wanted to eat before.
The manufacturers of the paint just asked me to provide a colour from a big-brand paint colour chart and they mixed it. I went with "baked clay" and am really happy with it.
Re: Elastomeric stucco paint
Thank you Ken and Backyard. I will use this paint. It's also non-flammable so I don't think you can go wrong with it. Now I need to start thinking about a color. I'm leaning towards a pale terracotta.
Re: Elastomeric stucco paint
Paint is not elastomeric. Coatings are elastomeric. A fine distinction, but an important one. Paints do not dry thick enough to be elastic at 2-6 mils, but coatings at 10 to 30 mils do. Paint=coloring. Coating=finish+coloring. As an FYI, the darker your color, the less elastomeric the coating will be and the more rapidly it will fade. Stick with pastels and avoid blues and greens for exterior applications.
The method of application is also very important for waterproofing: Apply such that the brushstrokes in any given area are made at right angles to each other, over each other. This will eliminate pinholes and improve the inherent strength of the coating.

Samsung Wave 723 3 Stars
Look and feel
Pretty average build quality along with a low-resolution display are both rather disappointing.
Ease of use
Bada is easy to use but proves to be less intuitive than any of the Nokia devices, or most of the higher-end smartphones.
The Wave 723 boasts a good feature set but the app store is sparsely stocked.
The responsive touch screen is the best feature on the Wave 723.
Battery life
With a battery life that lasts two days it's better than a lot of the more expensive smartphones.
- Pros:
- Responsive display; good value.
- Cons:
- Disappointing screen, very average build quality.
- Rating:
- Look and Feel 2 Stars
- Ease of use 3 Stars
- Features 4 Stars
- Performance 3 Stars
- Battery life 4 Stars
Final verdict: 3 Stars
While the Wave 723 boasts a good feature set, and a decent OS, there are better Android phones with lower pricetags.

No trace of Poway teen
Chelsea King, 17, missing since heading for a run on Thursday
The search for missing 17-year-old Chelsea King continued amid stormy conditions Saturday in Rancho Bernardo Community Park and adjacent Lake Hodges.
San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said during press conference at the park that authorities are focusing on Lake Hodges and its feeder streams, after thorough searches on foot, with canine units and by helicopter found no evidence of the teenager in the hills and trails around the waterway.
Gore said he met with Kelly and Brent King, Chelsea's parents, to update them on the search.
"This is obviously very tough for them," Gore said. "It's the unknown that's so stressful and traumatic in something like this."
Search teams from around Southern California have worked around the clock to find the Poway High School senior since Thursday night. Her parents reported her missing when she failed to return home by 6 p.m. from an afternoon run at the park. Her car was found at the park with her cell phone inside.
The Sheriff's Department has maintained a command post at the park.
A group called Laura Recovery Center has organized a volunteer effort and by Saturday afternoon a thousand people stood in line awaiting instructions. Many were in tears.
The group met in a parking lot at 11858 Bernardo Plaza Court outside a building that had been used by the Rancho Bernardo Fire Recovery Center during the last wild fires.
Among the volunteers was Maurice Dubois, father of Amber Dubois, who disappeared more than a year ago while walking to school in Escondido. She was 14 when she disappeared.
On Friday night, at least 200 people attended a vigil at Poway High School.
Chelsea is described as having blond hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 115 pounds.
J HARRY JONES and LEONEL SANCHEZ
Poway High School Principal Scott Fisher's voice floated over the school's intercom system just before the final bell rang yesterday afternoon.
"Stay together. Stay strong," he told students and teachers. "Keep in mind we are a family here. This is a tough time … when we need each other."
Poway High senior Chelsea King, a standout student, cross-country runner, musician and singer, disappeared after school Thursday when she apparently went for a run alone in Rancho Bernardo Community Park near Lake Hodges.
Volunteers and law enforcement officers searched the area from Thursday night through last night without finding a trace of the 17-year-old.
Last night, at least 200 people came to the high school for a vigil. Teens hugged each other as they arrived and told stories of Chelsea. The principal wanted to keep the event within the school community and asked the media for privacy.
Before the vigil, friends described a happy, bright girl.
Melissa Fernandez, 17, said Chelsea is a bundle of energy "loved by everyone."
McKenzie Lamont, 18, said Chelsea is driven, with a goal of attending the University of Washington.
Her distraught parents, Brent and Kelly King, appealed at the park yesterday for everyone's prayers and vigilance.

I have not forgotten about my little web page here but I have had a lack of content I can post about these past years. It certainly is not for lack of trying as I have been furiously designing away. Unfortunately, most of what I design these days falls squarely in the shadow of nondisclosure. Some of the projects I have worked on have now become public knowledge such as the Infinity Seismic's Checkmate Marine or their UBC. Unfortunately, by the time the projects reach the point I can talk about them freely I am ten projects further and that much less motivated to write about them. The realistic truth is that I probably won't have much to write about here for the near future. That is okay though. I won't let the site go anywhere and I certainly have the ability to morph Tavares Labs into something even cooler any time in the future. As always, I can be contacted through the contact page of this site if anyone ever needs me!
Thanks for reading,

Members of the Starkville Historic Preservation Commission reported positive results from prior meetings with residents and other stakeholders in historic neighborhoods at their meeting Tuesday.
Commission Chairman Michael Fazio said the only groups slated to meet with HPC members who had not yet were ERA Realty and residents in the Overstreet district, and he said the latter meeting will take place Thursday. Fazio said he and other HPC members already met with Prudential Real Estate, Coldwell Banker and residents in the Nash Street and Greensboro districts.
"The Greensboro Street meeting was not terribly well attended," Fazio said. "People have been very interested, and we tried to answer all the questions they had. I can't say any issue has come up that has been unexpected. The issue is our schedule going forward."
Commissioner Cyndi Sullivan said she anticipates good results from the final neighborhood meeting Thursday.
"We've gotten really good support so far from Overstreet," Sullivan said.
Fazio said he has contacted City Attorney Chris Latimer about the HPC holding a public hearing on its proposed local historic districts and the design standards for those districts. He said Latimer is amenable to a public hearing in mid-November, leading the board to begin considering a public hearing on Nov. 20.
However, Commissioner Tom Walker said he was concerned about holding the public hearing on the same day as an alderman meeting. Commissioner Briar Jones then made a motion to hold the public hearing Nov. 27, and the commission approved it unanimously. Fazio said this public hearing will be the first of two.
"This will be our public hearing," Fazio said, "and subsequent to ours, we would hand things off to the aldermen and let them decide (during the) next public hearing."
The commission also quickly and unanimously approved maps of the three proposed local historic districts. Fazio said these maps will not be finalized until the aldermen approve them.
"I'd like (this commission) to approve them, but you understand none of this matters legally until the board approves them," Fazio said. "We'd just like to make these the maps we suggest to the board."
With only one commissioner, Maxine Hamilton, absent, the commission also moved forward with a vote to elect a chair.
Fazio said, "I'm not married to this chair, but I'm willing to do it again if people want me to."
Sullivan then said, "Good," and nominated Fazio, who was then re-elected unanimously.

Pensacola, FL Gentleman's Club
Sammy Cantavespre owned a small restaurant located on 3rd Avenue in Birmingham, Alabama. You may remember that in 1974 the national rage was "streaking." One Friday night on a dare, an attractive female customer "streaked" across the restaurants lounge. Sammy had his best nights in the history of the restaurant after that. With this streaking incident behind him, he realized the key to Sammy's success revolved around beautiful women. As you can see from the pages set forth in this web site, the rest is simply history.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus are locked in a three-way battle to sign Arsenal captain Robin van Persie.
The three clubs have all declared their interest in buying want-away striker Van Persie but have so far failed to meet the Gunners' valuation of the 28-year-old.
United, City and Juve are said to be happy to pay somewhere in the region of £15million but Arsenal are thought to be demanding in excess of £20million for their star player.

LEED-ND update
A brand-new LEED-ND coming soon to a neighborhood near you!Submitted on 10/7/2008. Tags for this image:
The LEED-ND Core Committee, a partnership between CNU, the US Green Building Council, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, has endorsed a new and improved version of the LEED-ND rating system. It resolves many concerns that New Urbanists have had about the pilot version of the rating system. The new version of the rating system will debut as the first official version in mid-2009, but you can get a peek at it when the first public comment period opens in November 2008. (USGBC committees will do a technical review of the rating system in the meantime.) CNU will be asking our members to give a final seal of approval for LEED-ND in a first-ever member ballot early in 2009.
The currently planned timeline for LEED-ND also includes two 45-day public comment periods -- the first around December 2008, the second around April 2009. CNU aims to brief our members about the rating system during the public comment periods and strongly encourages our members to give their feedback at those times. The "ballot draft" of the rating system will be submitted to CNU's members and Board of Directors for final approval (as well as USGBC's membership and NRDC) in mid-2009.
As of October, 12 LEED-ND pilot projects have successfully gained certification. To find out more about the pilot projects and LEED-ND in general, please visit www.cnu.org/leednd and USGBC's site.

Snooki's New Boyfriend: Jionni LaValle
Snooki has rather cryptically (and rather nauseatingly) been tweeting about a new beau in her life, and, just after she shot down a dating reality TV show offer, the identity of her new man was revealed. The lucky guy is Jionni LaValle, and it looks like he fits Snooki's new criteria of less juicehead, more Wall Street. Says a source close to Snooki, "She wasn't sure about him at first and kept asking her friends what they thought of him. She was hesitant because he isn't the typical gorilla." The two made at appearance at New York City restaurant Butter earlier this month, but their first official outing was at a Pennsylvania club appearance Snooki booked. Daddy dearest seems to approve as well, as Snooki tweeted, "My dad and boo are bonding. Oh just another 3 hours of this," as they were driving to PA.
So besides LaValle's attitude adjustment, what else drew Snooki to him? Simply put, he wasn't Emilio. Says Snooki's friend, "Emilio was always trying to be all in the photos and making it about him and her when it was fan shots. Jionni is great. He is so quiet and isn't trying to be in the spotlight." Well, we're glad Snookers found someone who can let her do her thing without getting in the way. But, this probably means he won't run to Angelina once the two break up. It's probably also safe to bet we won't hear reports of him getting smacked in the face with a microphone in the club.
Snooki even seems to have wifed her man up, tweeting a pic of the breakfast he cooked her one morning. What delectable dish did LaValle whip up for his sweetie? Pickle pancakes, of course. We say gross, but Snooks says "amazing."

Latest News
27 March 2015
When unloading, try to maintain a status in the store where there is a free air path that allows air to get to the potatoes to do the job of cooling them and then return to the fans. Don't leave ways for it to short circuit as air always takes the path of least resistance. Think about shutting off laterals or blocking any gaps with sheets or empty boxes to maintain some ventilation during the unloading process. See our latest storage bulletin for more best practice advice.
25 February 2015
At this time of year, seed will be coming out of store and heading to farms for planting. Most seed will be transported in bulk bags or boxes and it is important that, having incurred expense to get the seed through a winter's storage, that this doesn't all come to nought through inadequate management before it gets the opportunity to be put into the ground.
Weather can still play a major part during seed transport and influences how quickly it can be planted. Clearly protection from frost is paramount at all times but if seed is moved to a new location, it is important that it can still be ventilated to prevent condensation which can encourage unwanted sprouting (below) and spread of disease.
16 January 2015
For the 2014/15 storage season, like last year, approval holders have limited the use of CIPC in low temperature stores (those operating at storage temperatures of 5°C or less) to a single application, early in storage. This is because decline in CIPC residues is reduced at low storage temperatures because the volatility of the chemical is low and it is therefore less readily lost from cold stores. The risk of exceeding the MRL for CIPC is therefore increased in such stores especially if best practice has not been followed.
20 November 2014
As ambient temperatures start to fall, especially at night, the risk of structural condensation within stores increases. There is continual moisture release into the store environment by evaporation through the skin and from respiration by the crop. This means the storage environment typically equilibrates at humidities in excess of 90%.
Depending on the level of insulation in a store, it usually only needs a relatively small change in ambient temperature to result in structural condensation. Have you checked your store?
14 October 2014
Check potato stores carefully and frequently in this post-harvest period...
SBCSR is urging growers and store operators to check recently-loaded stores carefully amid increasing reports of breakdown. Several samples submitted to Sutton Bridge have tested positively for the fungus Pythium (watery wound rot) and others have had high levels of soft rot, which may have developed as a secondary infection. There are also reports of Phytophthora (tuber blight) being found in store.
These disease problems have been seen in all types of crops and a range of varieties so it is important that store managers remain vigilant especially during the pull-down phase.
10 July 2014
Growers urged to look to the future at 50 Years of Storage Research event
Thanks to everyone who attended our storage day on 3rd July and to Crop Systems our sponsors. Thanks also to Produce World and Pipers crisps for their support. In addition to celebrating 50 years since storage research began at Sutton Bridge, some important messages were conveyed to the audience as AHDB Potatoes continues its Storage 2020 campaign for sustainable storage in the British potato industry.
Dr Clayton who began his potato industry career 20 years ago at GB's leading post-harvest applied research facility said: "Today we celebrate the key milestones and achievements over the last 50 years at SBCSR with a serious undertone."
The acclaimed author Bill Bryson, in his in notes on American culture, describes 'Islands of excellence in a sea of mediocrity,' this provides a perfect description that fits our national storage capacity, noted Rob. Addressing the delegates Rob said, "You are the islands of excellence; today we see innovation, thought leadership and state of the art technology around us."
"But when we travel around the country, we find an industry blissfully sleepwalking into situations that put our mainstay sprout suppressants at risk. We find an industry prepared to tolerate a 3 fold difference in energy costs. We find growers content to sacrifice airflows to squeeze 1,100 tonnes into a 1,000 tonne store."
We need to change and we need to do so quickly
Having a team that can provide the impetus and the toolbox for change is half of the jigsaw, our new StoreCheck (www.potato.org.uk/storecheck) store auditing service, which is just a phone call or a click away is a great example of this.
"You [the industry] are the other half, you must be prepared to evangelise about what you have, you must put aside your competitive interest and you must become agents for change."
The day provided evidence of the ever-growing toolbox. Key achievements over the five decades have included: the move from clamps to storage buildings; disease control; condensation management; CIPC distribution; bloom meters; self-audits; diagnostics; controlled atmospheres; ethylene management and inverter technology. And the focus at SBCSR has always been on getting messages out to engender change within industry.
"The innovation at SBCSR has been driven by a willingness to collaborate, to understand industry needs, to seek out funding and to deliver results in a language we all understand," said Rob. "Coincidentally, these are the same credentials required to exploit opportunities created by Governments' new funds under the Agri-tech strategy, that's high on the AHDB and AHDB Potatoes agenda right now."
Looking forward
Just as industry needs to change, so does SBCSR, the facility was fortunate to receive EU funding four years ago to add to the capability of the site. "We need to use that momentum to review the facility and make decisions on what you, our industry needs as a future resource." And Sutton Bridge continues to press hard for change as part of its Storage 2020 campaign.
Adrian Cunnington (SBCSR) & Ray Andrews (Crop Systems) spoke about 'the case for uniformity' detailing ways to improve air distribution in store which is key to being able to improve control, eliminate variation and ensure chemical residues are not exceeded.
Adrian Briddon (SBCSR) & Tjaart Hofman (Certis) highlighted ways to improve CIPC best practice while Glyn Harper (SBCSR) reported on research assessing warmer storage temperatures for fresh market, aimed at reducing energy costs and mitigating against sugar accumulation.
The SBCSR team
Rob Clayton closed his address acknowledging Adrian Cunnington, who has worked for 30 years at SBCSR, and his similarly experienced team. "Having worked at Sutton Bridge what impresses me is an almost unique ability to work the grading lines and get dirt under the finger nails but then to scrub up, deliver world leading-science and treat storage as a business."
13 February 2014
Fabulous turnout for our Storage 2020 international Conference
Over 250 delegates attended our Storage 2020 Conference at Peterborough. Thanks in particular to our sponsors, Certis and Omnivent. It was great to see so many people at one event focusing on storage for the day.
17 January 2014
Registrations still available for our 2014 Store Managers Course
For the first time in four years the Store Managers' Course is able to go out 'on the road' again. Funding requirements, associated with the capital development undertaken at SBCSR in 2010, precluded this until this year but the 2014 course is to be held in Cheshire, close to junction 16 of the M6 motorway, providing excellent access for growers and store managers in the west.
The date for the course is 5/6 March and the venue is the Wychwood Park Hotel, near Crewe.
With increasing pressure on returns from storage and a changing landscape over the use of sprout suppressants, now is the ideal time to attend. Two days of practical, focused training on how to get the best from your storage is available at a very competitive price. Enlist now by following this link.
18 October 2013
New report on energy use in potato stores published
AHDB Potatoes has just published the final report on reduced energy use in storage, a project undertaken by Sutton Bridge CSR and Farm Energy Centre. The report summarises work which has delved deeper into potato storage operation than ever before, assessing factors such as refrigeration efficiency and air leakage. Variability across the stores assessed remained large (as was found in the previous exploratory trial) and the work highlighted the need for attention to detail in building construction, store management practices and maintenance programmes if costs are to be controlled and returns from storage maximised.

ACP review reports
CIPC remains firmly under the spotlight
This year the Advisory Committee on Pesticides (ACP) has carefully considered data on current CIPC use and industry stewardship, as official monitoring has continued to find CIPC residues that exceed the Maximum Residue Level (MRL).
At its meeting on 24 September 2013, the ACP agreed that product authorisations can continue, however the committee have serious concerns about the continued findings of residues in exceedance of the MRL. It is a legal requirement that residues should not exceed these levels. The Committee agreed that steps still had to be taken to meet the requirements set in 2007. The information provided did not provide them assurance that further MRL exceedances would be avoided and they have requested a number of further specific data requirements from approval holders and further residue monitoring by the industry. Continued authorisations will be dependent upon these requirements being met.
Richard Harris, of the Potato Processors' Association, responding to the outcomes of the review, said 'Approval holders have been asked to submit new data to protect the future of CIPC and in the meantime all supply chain businesses must adhere to label recommendations for CIPC use and work within Red Tractor protocols.'
David Walker of the Fresh Potato Suppliers' Association added 'It is crucial there are no further MRL exceedances and we will be stepping up industry monitoring to support the stewardship scheme.'
The ACP recognised that the CIPC stewardship has delivered valuable changes and were supportive of the continuation of the scheme. The industry needs to demonstrate it can ensure CIPC exceedances will not continue to occur. A loss of CIPC would have very serious implications for the potato industry and we all must work together to prevent any further exceedances.
Mike Storey, Chair of the Potato Industry CIPC Stewardship Group said 'It is crucial for the whole industry to fully engage with the 'Be CIPC Compliant' campaign to ensure that best practice is adopted.'
Current best practice guidelines are available at www.cipccompliant.co.uk
23 September 2013
ACP meets to review CIPC this month
CIPC will be reviewed at the meeting of the Advisory Committee on Pesticides to be held in York this month. See our latest bulletin above or visit www.cipccompliant.co.uk for up to date stewardship and best practice information.

Grammy Fashion: Lady GaGa, Nicki Minaj, Ciara, Willow Smith
Rihanna wins best dress among the women hands down! It seems everyone was trying to out-do everyone else. The red carpet looked like a circus freak show with Ciara in a Pocahontas turned domantrix dress, Lady GaGa in yellow latex in an egg, and Rihanna…basically nude.
Nicki Minaj should have worn a simple black dress with an elegant up-sweep with a natural make-up look, and she would have been the buzz of today. Lady Blackenstein in jaguar print can't compete with Lady GaGa in an egg. It just can't! Sorry, but you know people are going to compare Nicki Minaj to Lady Gaga, so Nicki should have rally switched it up, so that she could stand out more. Oh! Willow Smith was there too.
More outrageous costumes fashion when you continue. If everyone is loud, then the silent one becomes the unique and creative one! No one is unique anymore, everyone is trying too hard to be themselves!

Nicki outfit would have looked better without the hair.
I didn't care to much for RiRi outfit. (Didn't she wear a outfit similar to this?)
CiCi outfit: What she wore the other night (brown one) she should have worn at the grammys it is giving me a wonder woman feel maybe if the top part dress matched the bottom half and different pair of shoes.
Willow-Kid friendly outfit
GaGa-(Sigh!) She came as an egg and hatched on stage.LOL!
I do believe Gaga has the "dress like a fool" category already covered. The leopard print outfit is totally ridiculous.

The F-GPSF GPS over fiber system is a transmitter and receiver pair used to transmit the RF Carrier signal from a GPS antenna to a remote location up to 10 Km. There are many advantages to converting the GPS Carrier to an optical signal for GPS over fiber. Fiber Optic cable is much less expensive than low loss coaxial cable used for RF signals. It is also much smaller and easier to work with. Optical signals are not affected by RF interference, therefore this system can be used to transport a GPS signal over fiber through a noisy RF environment. The F-GPSF can also be used to transport the GPS signal over fiber from a single GPS antenna to a multitude of locations throughout a building, aircraft, or ship. This Fiber Optic GPS Antenna Link is a complete system which allows us to convert the GPS Carrier from RF to Light, transmit it up to 20 Kilometers if need be then reconvert it to RF to be received by the GPS Receiver. Global positioning systems (GPS), used for navigation, relies on signals from satellites in a geosynchronous orbit around the earth. This synchronization is required for personal communications systems (PCS) such as cellular telephones. PCS base station signals using fiber optic transmitters and receivers experience low loss and high quality. In addition, smaller, less expensive power amplifiers can be mounted to the tower reducing transmission losses and system cost. Fibers dielectric properties also reduce damage from lightning strikes at PCS base stations. Fiber optic L-Band, GPS links can also be used as an outside repeater in shopping malls, tunnels, and subways where PCS signals are non-existent or extremely weak, allowing L-Band satellite transport.
