OSCAR TALK: Ep. 71 -- Formidable 'War Horse' charges onto the scene
Welcome to Oscar Talk.
In case you're new to the site and/or the podcast, Oscar Talk is a weekly kudocast, your one-stop awards chat shop between yours truly and Anne Thompson of Thompson on Hollywood. The podcast is weekly, every Friday throughout the season, charting the ups and downs of contenders along the way. Plenty of things change en route to Oscar's stage and we're here to address it all as it unfolds.
A late-breaking edition of the podcast today as we try to muster the energy to shake off the food coma of Thanksgiving. And there is tons to talk about today in a somewhat longer podcast than usual. Let's see what's on the docket today...
Steven Spielberg's "War Horse" finally burst onto the scene this weekend as more press and guilds got a look at the film, Anne and I among them. We discuss the film and its Oscar prospects.
We get into "Hugo" some more, which has done gangbusters with the critics and got an uptick in box office yesterday.
Anne got around to two films that look to figure into the Best Actress category this year, "The Iron Lady" and "Young Adult." We circle back on those films and talk about how they look to figure into the season.
With the animated feature shortlist out as of a few weeks ago and with us going through each of the contenders, we take a moment to spotlight the field.
The New York Film Critics Circle won't be able to see "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" before its asinine early voting deadline. Aw. We talk a little about that whole non-story story.
And finally, reader questions. We answer queries regarding the botched (again) Best Documentary Feature finalists, the possibility of reform in the category and how talent respond to us when we, uh, don't like their work.
Have a listen to the new podcast below with some of John Williams's "War Horse" score leading the way. If the file cuts off for you at any time, try the back-up download link at the bottom of this post. And as always, remember to subscribe to Oscar Talk via iTunes here.

A vandalism spree along Rio Bravo Drive and Potrillo Drive in White Rock over the April Fool's weekend left some residents without transportation.
Los Alamos Police Department dispatch logs indicate on March 31 four people called in reporting damage to their vehicles.
"Who ever did this went on a rampage," Rio Bravo resident Lois Schneider said, adding that a few of her neighbors had also been hit.
She said her husband made the call to the police. He reported that it looked like the windows of his pickup truck had been shot out, at which point he noticed that two other vehicles had also been vandalized at his address.
Lois Schneider said the couple had lived in the area for nearly 45 years and they have never experienced any problems like this before.
Schneider said the perpetrator trespassed on to their fenced property and either smashed or shot at windows in the couple's three vehicles.
"They left us without any transportation," she said adding that her insurance agent was kind enough to loan the couple a vehicle while the cars get repaired.
Two of the older cars that were vandalized didn't have comprehensive insurance, so Schneider said the couple is on the hook to pay for those repairs.
"We heard nothing," she said.

text: My understanding is that in modern lens design, parallel light that enters the lens assembly will converge and diverge several times. If the damage is on the layer that rays converge, it will show on the final image. If the area is anywhere else, it can contribute to flair or loss of image quality such as sharpness to varying degrees. In other words, it depends on degree and the location of the fault. Since the lens is at the manufacturer for repair, why don't inquire the person who is working on your lens??

8 p.m. Friday, Riverside Theater, 116 W. Wisconsin Ave. Sold out.
Alabama Shakes is one of the year's big breakthrough acts, not just nationwide, but especially in Milwaukee.
The soulful Southern rock band from, you guessed it, Alabama, earned an Americana Music Award for emerging artist of the year in September, and earned tons of favorable press for its South by Southwest appearance and debut album "Boys & Girls" in the spring. But before any of that happened, the band played a sold-out Pabst Theater in early March. It was by far the biggest room the band had yet headlined.
Nearly eight months later, Shakes is back in town, and once again it's playing a sold-out show - except this time it's at the approximately 2,500-seat Riverside, a big step up, capacity-wise, from the 1,339 seats filled at its Pabst show. The price was higher, too - $25 for tickets, vs. the $10 back in March - but the band is bound to be more polished this time out, and it'll likely play a longer show than March's 50-minute set (encore included).
Fellow Alabama band Doc Dailey & Magnolia Devil will open. Look for our review of the show on TapMilwaukee.com Saturday and in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Sunday.
- Piet Levy, email@example.com
8 p.m. Friday, Northern Lights Theater, Potawatomi Bingo Casino, 1721 W. Canal St. $30 to $40 at the box office, (800) 745-3000 and ticketmaster.com.
As much as the 1980s are remembered as a popular-music decade (courtesy of Madonna, Michael Jackson and Prince), those years weren't entirely bad for blues, and Robert Cray was one of the genre's stars.
Cray actually got his start in the 1970s and played behind the great Texas guitarist Albert Collins before setting out on his own, with the Robert Cray Band releasing its first album, "Who's Been Talkin'," in 1980. Yet it was 1986's "Strong Persuader," a slick and sultry set, that put him into the mainstream spotlight.
In the years since then, Cray has settled into the veteran bluesman's life with soulful finesse and the usual circuit of touring and albums. The latest among the latter, "Nothin' But Love," is another energetic and simmering entry in an impressively consistent career.

8:30 p.m. Friday, Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. 4th St. $10 at the door, the Pabst and Riverside box offices, (414) 286-3663 and pabsttheater.org.
"Lighthouse," the opening track from Patrick Watson's 2012 album "Adventures in Your Own Backyard," summarizes in four minutes and 46 seconds the adventurous nature of the California-born, Montreal-raised artist's music. It begins quietly, with Watson's subtle vocals atop sparse, emotional keys. Inevitably, the sound grows, but how the song transforms is unexpected, from a fragile, almost classical track into a dramatic spaghetti Western score akin to Ennio Morricone.
Friday's show, Watson's second time back since June (when he opened for Keane at the Pabst), is billed as a $10 show. Those are often reserved for emerging acts, but Watson has several accomplishments behind him beyond "Adventures," including winning Canada's coveted Polaris Music Prize in 2007 for his second album "Close to Paradise." Watson will be performing with his eponymous band on Friday; and Canadian act Half Moon Run will open.

8:30 p.m. Saturday, Turner Hall Ballroom. $15.
Cincinnati pop rock band Walk the Moon has landed in Milwaukee on a couple of occasions now in 2012 alone - opening for Young the Giant in February and playing its second Summerfest set in as many years in June. It might be one of the most aggressive younger bands out there in terms of self-promotion, employing all sorts of imaginative gimmicks it hopes will blast off its career - from the clever, one-take music video for its biggest single to date, "Anna Sun," to wearing face paint and sharing it with fans at shows. Combined with all the catchy tracks from its self-titled debut album released this summer, the band's name has been batted around by music trend-spotters as one to watch, and while it has yet to become truly big, at this rate it appears it's more a question of "when" than "if."
Opening is dreamy indie rock band On an On, which rose from the ashes of another group that broke up three weeks before it was scheduled to record an album with producer Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene).
- Piet Levy
9 p.m. Saturday, Riverwest Public House Cooperative, 815 E. Locust St. $8.
Since being selected as one of 10 Wisconsin Bands to Watch by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in August, Eau Claire folk trio the Daredevil Christopher Wright has had a music video premiere on the esteemed French music site La Blogothéque, and NPR's All Songs Considered premiered the band's latest single "A Man of the Arts" on its blog in October, in addition to the trio's typically busy touring schedule. What placed the band on the list in the first place was its distinct take on a well-worn genre - the song "Blood Brother," for instance, from its latest album "The Nature of Things" (released by Canadian label File Under: Music in June) suddenly transforms into energizing Afropop. Local folk band Hello Death and Madison-based, violin-striking soul singer Ida Jo open.
- Piet Levy
8 p.m. Sunday, Turner Hall Ballroom. $23.50 in advance, $25 at the door.
"Free the Music" isn't merely the name of country singer Jerrod Niemann's new album; it seems to be a mission statement. The album tries to bring a different sound to the genre, opening with tinny Dixieland swing and incorporating blues, jazz and some horns along the way. But in terms of lyrical themes like drinkin' - his tour is sponsored by Jagermeister, after all - and Niemann's good ol' boy vocals, "Free the Music" doesn't stray too far from formula.
And the country formula is certainly one Niemann would be deeply familiar with; he wrote some material for the likes of Garth Brooks and Jamey Johnson before scoring his own No. 1 country hit "Lover, Lover" from his 2010 major label debut "Judge Jerrod & the Hung Jury." Country singer Sean Patrick McGraw opens.
- Piet Levy
8 p.m. Tuesday, Shank Hall, 1434 N. Farwell Ave. $20.
Earlier this year, Andy Statman received a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, largely for his contributions to traditional music. That puts him alongside Bill Monroe, John Lee Hooker and Doc Watson.
Statman deserves the honor: He has long been a deft mandolinist, exploring bluegrass and Americana from the peculiar perspective of a guy born in Brooklyn. Mentored in part by David Grisman, he's gone on to play with fellow masters including Jerry Douglas and Béla Fleck; as a session man, he's also played with Jerry Garcia and Bob Dylan.
But Statman also has become a formidable clarinetist, delving into the klezmer form and then deeper back into his Jewish roots with devotional Hasidic music. Last year, he and his trio (bassist Jim Whitney and drummer Larry Eagle), plus a few guests, brought their experience to the sprawling "Old Brooklyn," on which Statman unites a diverse selection of genres. Live, he can be expected to do the same.
The Giving Tree Band will open the evening in old-fashioned style.
- Jon M. Gilbertson
8 p.m. Tuesday, and 2 and 8 p.m. Wednesday, Northern Lights Theater. $20.
If there is any one woman who represents the bridge between the adult-contemporary sound and country & Western twang - or, to put it in proper nouns, between Celine Dion and Reba McEntire - that woman is Crystal Gayle.
She started her career in the formidable shadow of her older sister, Loretta Lynn, but in 1974 she and producer Allen Reynolds worked together to accent her creamy, smooth-jazzy vocal phrasings, and by 1976 she had begun topping the country charts and breaking into the pop charts, largely with ballads like "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue."
In 1982, Gayle even worked with the inimitable Tom Waits on the soundtrack album for the movie "One From the Heart," and while her chart presence basically faded after 1986, she has continued to record occasionally and to tour. This show will obviously feature Christmas favorites, but she might manage a few of her fans' favorites too.

Must love dogs
Looking for someone who is funny, loves dogs, close with his family, likes to workout, has a career going, some kind of a relationship with god and that I can just connect with. I feel like I could write out what I want on paper, but it doesn't mean much if there isn't a connection. I prefer to get to know someone on a low key, friendship first kind of situation. Sometimes dating can be a little stiff, forced and too many expectations, I prefer to just enjoy the company around me. If a spark is there, awesome, if not, at least we can still have a good time and maybe I will make a new friend :) I was born and raised in Texas and have lived in OC for a little over 4 years. I have an incredible job and get to help people everyday. I have a Dachshund named Sophie, she's my little munchkin. I adore all dogs, but will literally cross the street just to pet another Dachshund. I am only a little obsessed, promise :) I enjoy everything from going on a hike, to the movies, amusement parks, pretty much anything. Laughter is very important and I enjoy funny people...... and people who think I am funny. I am a little goofy at times, but I think it makes me lovable. You will see more of this side once I feel comfortable with you.

Now, in support of her debut album 'Title' (released January 2015) she's bringing booty to a town near you with her first solo tour, proving she's much more than just a one hit wonder.

Zynga shares hit the skids Friday after the games maker posted a loss and troubled investors with its outlook. Needham just cut the stock to "hold" from "buy."
One mystery from the initial press release was why Zynga was dropping its pursuit of a real-money gaming business. Newly installed CEO Don Mattrick said it simply: Free, social games are exploding in popularity, and that's where Zynga needed to place its focus, he said.
These charts from Zynga's earnings statement help explain why the stock is wobbling. Read More »
Don Mattrick's move to become CEO of Zynga caught many by surprise, given founder Mark Pincus' strong grasp on the company, his 61% share of voting rights and his reputation as a very hands-on manager.
Now the question is: What does the title of CEO mean at Mattrick's Zynga?
According to people close to the executives, Mattrick will handle the bulk of Zynga's day-to-day decisions. Meanwhile, Pincus will serve as chief product officer and will jointly run a new executive committee with Mattrick to oversee some of the larger strategy decisions.
The setup, which somewhat resembles the arrangement that Google had with Eric Schmidt when he was CEO, doesn't clarify how the executives will hash out disagreements or even clearly split responsibilities – given how the decisions related to product will inevitably bleed into decisions related to the day-to-day operations of the game company.
Could the company be left with two top leaders, both separately answering to a board — that Pincus chairs?
Zynga declined to make Mattrick or Pincus available for interviews.
Bing Gordon, a Zynga board member who has been one of the closest advisers to Pincus, said the partnership works because of a deep level of mutual respect between the two executives, years in the making. Read More »
Tom Gara on the Corporate Intelligence blog points out an interesting Wall Street research note covering the Mattrick move. Much of the ink being written on new Zynga CEO Don Mattrick is on what the social-gaming company is gaining and what Microsoft is losing — and the challenges that both companies face. Rightfully so.
But there is another company involved, too, sort of. Analysts at Wedbush Morgan think Electronic Arts could end up a loser in the shuffle. They expected Mattrick to be offered the top job at EA.

Video footage provided to police shows a suspect in the store the morning of July 27, at 4:57am.

The Burin Peninsula RCMP, are seeking assistance of the public in the identification of two suspects.
The suspectes are wanted in connection with crimes committed in the early hours of July 27.Approximately 4:30am, a male left the Ultramar Gas station on Ville Marie Drive without paying for his fuel. The Vehicle is described as a Dark Green Chevrolet Malibu with NL license plate HHD 708. The words "Terra Nova" were written on the back of the vehicle. Approximately 4:50 AM Pardy's Recreation on McGettigan Blvd was broken into. Two males entered the business through the front window and left with some merchandise and cash.

Buffer Pool Extension
Topic Status: Some information in this topic is preview and subject to change in future releases. Preview information describes new features or changes to existing features in Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Community Technology Preview 2 (CTP2).
Introduced in SQL Server 2014, the buffer pool extension provides the seamless integration of a nonvolatile random access memory (that is, solid-state drive) extension to the Database Engine buffer pool to significantly improve I/O throughput. The buffer pool extension is not available in every SQL Server edition. For more information, see Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2016.
The primary purpose of a SQL Server database is to store and retrieve data, so intensive disk I/O is a core characteristic of the Database Engine. Because disk I/O operations can consume many resources and take a relatively long time to finish, SQL Server focuses on making I/O highly efficient. The buffer pool serves as a primary memory allocation source of SQL Server. Buffer management is a key component in achieving this efficiency. The buffer management component consists of two mechanisms: the buffer manager to access and update database pages, and the buffer pool), to reduce database file I/O.
Data and index pages are read from disk into the buffer pool and modified pages (also known as dirty pages) are written back to disk. Memory pressure on the server and database checkpoints cause hot (active) dirty pages in the buffer cache to be evicted from the cache and written to mechanical disks and then read back into the cache. These I/O operations are typically small random reads and writes on the order of 4 to 16 KB of data. Small random I/O patterns incur frequent seeks, competing for the mechanical disk arm, increasing I/O latency, and reducing aggregate I/O throughput of the system.
The typical approach to resolving these I/O bottlenecks is to add more DRAM, or alternatively, added high-performance SAS spindles. While these options are helpful, they have significant drawbacks: DRAM is more expensive than data storage drives and adding spindles increases capital expenditure in hardware acquisition and increases operational costs by increased power consumption and increased probability of component failure.
The buffer pool extension feature extends the buffer pool cache with nonvolatile storage (usually SSD). Because of this extension, the buffer pool can accommodate a larger database working set, which forces the paging of I/Os between RAM and the SSDs. This effectively offloads small random I/Os from mechanical disks to SSDs. Because of the lower latency and better random I/O performance of SSDs, the buffer pool extension significantly improves I/O throughput.
The following list describes the benefits of the buffer pool extension feature.
Increased random I/O throughput
Reduced I/O latency
Increased transaction throughput
Improved read performance with a larger hybrid buffer pool
A caching architecture that can take advantage of present and future low-cost memory drives
The following terms are applicable to the buffer pool extension feature.
SSD storage is used as an extension to the memory subsystem rather than the disk storage subsystem. That is, the buffer pool extension file allows the buffer pool manager to use both DRAM and NAND-Flash memory to maintain a much larger buffer pool of lukewarm pages in nonvolatile random access memory backed by SSDs. This creates a multilevel caching hierarchy with level 1 (L1) as the DRAM and level 2 (L2) as the buffer pool extension file on the SSD. Only clean pages are written to the L2 cache, which helps maintain data safety. The buffer manager handles the movement of clean pages between the L1 and L2 caches.
The following illustration provides a high-level architectural overview of the buffer pool relative to other SQL Server components.
When enabled, the buffer pool extension specifies the size and file path of the buffer pool caching file on the SSD. This file is a contiguous extent of storage on the SSD and is statically configured during startup of the instance of SQL Server. Alterations to the file configuration parameters can only be done when the buffer pool extension feature is disabled. When the buffer pool extension is disabled, all related configuration settings are removed from the registry. The buffer pool extension file is deleted upon shutdown of the instance of SQL Server.
We recommend that you follow these best practices.
The buffer pool extension size can be up to 32 times the value of max_server_memory. We recommend a ratio between the size of the physical memory (max_server_memory) and the size of the buffer pool extension of 1:16 or less. A lower ratio in the range of 1:4 to 1:8 may be optimal. For information about setting the max_server_memory option, see Server Memory Server Configuration Options.
Test the buffer pool extension thoroughly before implementing in a production environment. Once in production, avoid making configuration changes to the file or turning the feature off. These activities may have a negative impact on server performance because the buffer pool is significantly reduced in size when the feature is disabled. When disabled, the memory used to support the feature is not reclaimed until the instance of SQL Server is restarted. However, if the feature is re-enabled, the memory will be reused without restarting the instance.
You can use the following dynamic management views to display the configuration of the buffer pool extension and return information about the data pages in the extension.
sys.dm_os_buffer_pool_extension_configuration (Transact-SQL)
Performance counters are available in the SQL Server, Buffer Manager Object to track the data pages in the buffer pool extension file. For more information, see buffer pool extension performance counters.
The following Xevents are available.
Fires when a page or group of pages are evicted from the buffer pool and written to the buffer pool extension file.
Fires when a page is read from the buffer pool extension file to the buffer pool.
Fires when a page is evicted from the buffer pool extension file.
Fires when the eviction threshold is calculated.

You know, I never really pay much attention to first and last lines and can't for the life of me think of any from my favorite books. I guess my obsession is for what comes between them.
Barbara D'Amato
What do you think of when you think of Chicago?
When I think of Chicago, I think of Lower Wacker and the tunnels leading off of it. I love the idea that there is a whole network of streets down there where the sun never shines. The streets in the 1850s were so muddy, being nearly at lake level and constantly churned up by horses' hooves, that a program of raising them several feet was begun in 1855. The streets we drive on today are not at ground level but raised, mostly on iron structures. The old streets and storefronts are still down there. There's a metaphor here—the muddy underbelly of Chicago—that makes me smile.
Who is an author you'd like to meet, dead or alive?
I'd like to meet my hero Agatha Christie; unfortunately, her being dead makes it difficult.
What's your favorite font to write in?
Times New Roman.
Do you listen to music while you write? What music?
"Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book," but that's because I had children and now have grandchildren.
How do you celebrate after you've finished a book?
Fettuccine alfredo.
Keith Ecker
What do you think of when you think of Chicago?
An incredible incubator for experimental arts and boundless creativity. Also, deep-dish pizza.
Who is an author you'd like to meet, dead or alive?
Hands down, Kurt Vonnegut.
What's your favorite font to write in?
Times New Roman, because I like my words to be more interesting than my typeface.

Discuss: Sharks beat Canucks, can sweep Tuesday
May 6, 2013, 12:47 AM EDT
The brooms will be out Tuesday in San Jose after the Sharks blew out the Canucks, 5-2, Sunday at HP Pavilion.
San Jose now leads the first-round series, 3-0, and will try not to look past Vancouver before finishing the job in Game 4.
For the Canucks, it's almost eery how similar the 2013 playoffs have been to last year, when they went out in five to the Kings in the first round. In both series, goalie Roberto Luongo got the start in the first two games — at home against a lower seed — and lost twice. Also in both series, Cory Schneider came in for Game 3 on the road, but couldn't turn the tide.
Granted, like last year, goaltending hasn't been the biggest issue for Vancouver. The Canucks just can't score anymore.
Some discussion points:
—- Fun fact for Sharks fans: the last three teams to beat the Canucks in the playoffs won the Stanley Cup.
—- Fun fact II for Sharks fans: Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau scored twice in nine seconds in the third period, but it wasn't the fastest two goals in San Jose playoff history. The club record is eight seconds, by John MacLean and Ron Sutter in 1998.
— Not only did Couture finish with two goals and two assists, he was practically unbeatable in the faceoff circle.
—- Is Joe Pavelski the best third-line center in the NHL right now? They used to say that about Jordan Staal when he was in Pittsburgh, but then he was traded to Carolina. Pavelski had San Jose's first two goals in Game 3, both on neat redirects.
—- Schneider was pulled after allowing five goals, including three in the opening minutes of the third period. Who will get the nod for the Canucks on Tuesday? Does it even matter?
—- Is there any way head coach Alain Vigneault keeps his job if the Canucks lose to San Jose, which it appears they will? If he's fired, would it be the right call, or is it general manager Mike Gillis who deserves the blame for the team's failings the past two years? Is a major roster shakeup required, or do they give it one more year with the current group? The Sedins have one more year remaining on their contracts before they can become unrestricted free agents.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!

Entering the bye week, teams get a chance to get healthy and fine tune a few things it has not been able to work on during the normal grind of a game week.
While those things certainly fit the Mississippi State Bulldogs, they are also looking to regain their focus after a pair of lackluster performances against non-conference foes.
"You got to remember our guys are 18 to 20-year-old kids," MSU football coach Dan Mullen said on Tuesday. "The focus and maturity had slipped. I don't want to say that we weren't motivated for the games, I even think that during games we play a great offensive half and then a great defensive half. We will look good for a couple series and then look terrible for a couple series. The focus kind of drops sometimes."
The lack of focus simply shows the players can be guilty of the same traps fans fall into from time to time – taking things for granted.
"Sometimes you look up at the scoreboard and say, 'hey coach, we're up big,' and then a team comes back on you a bunch," Mullen said. "We went out last week and our first two series were a negative 10 yards. We went backwards. It was just a complete lack of focus, thinking we were just going to go out and score every time we have the ball.
"Sometimes it is not just that. Guys want to score a touchdown every time they touch it instead of I'm going to follow my read and we will only get 5 or 6 yards. You start seeing guys run backwards, trying to spin out and take it 90 and it ends up minus 5. If they would have just hit the hole, it would have been a good play."
Even the often stoic Tyler Russell at quarterback fell pray to trying to do too much against South Alabama, which resulted in an un-Russell like 13 for 27 effort.
"When you start trying to make perfect throws, you start aiming," Mullen said. "When you start aiming, you start missing, so I think to him that was some of it, but nothing that's not going to be corrected."
Mullen also mentioned Russell was simply holding onto the ball too long.
"He was just holding on to the ball until they were wide open," Mullen said. "He was kind of like I'm going to wait until (the receiver) is wide open and make the big play. There are times, even slight things that you only see on film, you see the crease and they are trying to hit the home run instead of just hitting the single. In those type games, guys just want to make the big play. In league play, you're playing ball control and trying to get the first down because that's going to be a hard game and you've got to go pound it out."
As Mississippi State continues its off week, the starters will get expanded workouts in individual drills at practice focusing on fundamentals. The rest of the guys will have a shot to earn playing time against Kentucky.
"This is a big week for the twos," Mullen said. "This is a big week for those guys to get more reps. You know Johnthan Banks isn't going to get a lot of reps when we go 11 on 11. I know what he can do. He is going to work on his fundamentals and I'm not going to let him do a lot of 11 on 11 because I want to see the other guys do that."

Several deadlines are approaching for Illinois USDA Farm Service Agency programs.
NAP coverage is required on all non-insurable crops, and crop insurance is required on insurable crops to remain eligible for most disaster programs.
Among the deadlines are:
Aug. 31 – Final application closing date for 2012 Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage on canola.
Producers who have lost livestock due to excessively hot temperatures may have help available.
Scherrie Giamanco, state executive director of the Illinois Farm Service Agency, this week reminded producers that the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) provides financial assistance for livestock deaths as a direct result of adverse weather conditions.
"The hot, dry conditions that are widespread across Illinois may be good for the development of crops," Giamanco said. "However, they have proven to be detrimental for livestock producers."
Rainfall was sporadic throughout the state. Some counties reported continuing dry conditions, while others experienced flooding. Damage to crops and livestock due to flooding was reported.
Precipitation across the state averaged 1.52 inches, 0.68 inches above normal, though most areas are still experiencing dry conditions.
The American Farm Heritage Museum in Greenville held its annual Farm Heritage Days last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In the first photo, Mike Myers of Altamont drives his 1948 International M during a tractor pull on Saturday afternoon. In the second photo is a variety of Allis Chalmers tractors; Allis Chalmers was the featured tractor at this year's event.
The longer the heat wave lingers over the Midwest, the more concerned area farmers become. And if the unusual weather pattern hasn't already hurt yields, experts say that it won't be long until it does.
"It's been a long time since we've had a prolonged heat wave like this," said Ron Marshel, manager of the Fayette County Farm Bureau. "And even though we've gotten enough moisture to keep the plants going, the heat has taken a toll."
Hearing the words "You have cancer" is tough. Finding help and answers is made easier at the American Cancer Society Patient Resource Center at Fayette County Hospital in Vandalia.
Would you like to make a difference for area cancer patients? Do you have some time on a Thursday to help?
If so, Fayette County Hospital and the American Cancer Society would love to hear from you. Volunteers are needed to help cancer patients and their family members at the newly remodeled Patient Resource Center.

15 Years Ago
1996 – A nationwide search was kicked off for Kelly McGinnis, a Greenville man who gunned down Greenville Attorney Tom Meyer in the alley behind the lawyer's office downtown.
The Vandalia City Council approved a resolution prohibiting drinking outside of bars in the city, after some bar owners asked for permission to have beer gardens.
Bruce Clanton of rural Vandalia was recognized as a candidate for the American FFA Degree, the highest honor in the Future Farmers of America.
"Grandfather Howell came to Illinois from Tennessee in 1825, settling in Marion County, having taken up land from the government, 80 acres at the time of his coming. He afterward bought 120 acres from the government, a part of which was timbered and a part was on the prairie.
"There were not any settlements on the prairie at that time, all the settlements there were then being in the timbered land. The first Monday in May was wolf day. All the settlers gathered at that day and made a general drive, often taking numbers of prairie wolves."
It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since retired U.S. Sen. Paul Simon came to help Vandalia Main Street dedicate its downtown park and "Sitting with Lincoln" statue.
On Monday, that park, and statue, officially became the property of the city of Vandalia.
That means the city is now responsible for the expenses related to the park, which are, essentially, insurance premiums and electric bills.

British troops arrived in Northern Ireland on 14 August 1969. This RTÉ News footage shows them setting up barricades in the streets of Derry, where the Battle of the Bogside was raging. Intense rioting had broken out following the Apprentice Boys parade in Derry two days earlier and the conflict had spread across Northern Ireland.
On 13 August, Taoiseach Jack Lynch intervened in a broadcast to the nation. Lynch was highly critical of the Stormont government, stating that the RUC was no longer an impartial police force. He called for the UN to intervene and announced that the Irish army would establish field hospitals near the border. Unionists were angered by Lynch's speech; Chichester-Clark commented that it was inflammatory. As the rioting continued, Prime Minister Chichester-Clark requested the support of the British army. On 14 August, British soldiers were deployed in Derry and were on the streets of Belfast the following day.

The Real Value of Gold
You don't have to be an expert to realize something just isn't right in the economic world! Peter Schiff and GATA's Bill Murphy discuss Quantitative Easing, inflation, and the real value of gold!
You don't have to be an expert to realize something just isn't right in the economic world! Peter Schiff and GATA's Bill Murphy discuss Quantitative Easing, inflation, and the real value of gold!
Ben Bernanke out, Janet Yellen in. But, don't worry, the same failed fiscal policy will continue chugging along.
For those playing catchup, since 2008 the Fed has been using a practice called "Quantitative Easing" or QE. Since the interest rates have already been at or near 0%, it's the Fed's way of inflating the money supply. The theory goes that by buying financial assets, businesses will have access to easy credit and easy cash, then they'll open factories, hire employees, and that will get the economy going again.
As it happens, there are two big problems with this plan: the capital is straight out of Wonderland, and everyone knows it.
When the Federal Reserve prints cash to buy assets, business hasn't improved, there's no extra demand needing to fill, and there's no reliable projection to indicate it's going to get better anytime soon. No decent businessperson is going to expand operations today, knowing they won't have the magic money tomorrow. In other words, no one is going to take on additional liabilities without confidence they'll have the revenue to cover them tomorrow.
Much to the contrary, it's a very dangerous fiscal policy to follow, and one we're all to familiar with.
When we throw good money after bad, we create an artificially large market: or, a bubble.The problem with bubbles is that they cannot be sustained forever. Already the Fed owns over $2 trillion worth of bonds and other financial assets under QE, but the Fed cannot continue to buy tens of billions of dollars worth of assets every month. The money runs out, and the bubble bursts.
Instead of the markets returning to their natural levels, investors will attempt to avoid losses and pull their cash out as well. The market contracts below its natural growth and the economy contracts. In other words, we go into recession.
This isn't some big secret. Investors have been paying close attention to the Fed in the hopes of pulling out their cash before the QE fountain runs dry. Companies know it as well, and have been reluctant to grow, knowing the contraction which will eventually follow.
Instead of growing the economy, the Fed's policy creates a bubble in financial markets which is not reflected in economic growth. Instead of investors being able to judge profits and growth based on customer demand, they play a game of beat-the-Fed, and businesses grow slower than they otherwise would.
Contrary to growing the economy, Quantitative Easing only slows recovery.
If you doubt it, just ask yourself why the Stock Market has hit record highs in 2013, yet unemployment remains at 7.3% and labor participation remains at a 35 year low.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the monetary policy-making body of the Federal Reserve, is meeting for the second time in so many days to determine what actions, if any, to take to help America's flagging economy.
Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve are largely anticipated to institute another round of Quantitative Easing (QE3) as a means to stimulating the U.S. economy. The U.S. stock market is expecting that the Fed will act and the U.S. dollar indicates the same expectation.
The dollar is off ahead of the announcement as QE is the act of "printing money" and pumping it into the economy:
As the dollar suffered from expectations for QE – which would be equal to printing money and diluting the value of the currency – the euro stayed near four-month highs against the U.S. currency, helped by the signs the euro zone may be starting to get on top of its debt troubles.
Expected Fed actions include an estimated $500 billion in purchases of long term treasury notes. A move designed to lower interest rates in hopes of stimulating borrowing and investment.
91% of Chief Financial Officers polled said their firms would not change their spending if QE3 was able to lower interest rates by as much as a full point indicating that interest rates are not the economic inhibitor the Fed believes.
Campbell Harvey, a finance professor at Duke's Fuqua School of Busines, said that "there is stark evidence that QE3 would be a wasted effort."
The dilution of the dollar would likely have further impact to every-day Americans. Everything from gas to heating fuel and groceries would become more expensive. As the government's CPI inflation index doesn't measure these items, no official inflation would be shown. Consumers will likely see their budgets squeezed from items the government sees fit to ignore.
The FOMC will hold a press conference today at 12:30am Eastern. The FOMC members will announce their decision at 2pm and chairman Ben Bernanke will hold his own conference at 2:30pm Eastern this afternoon.
Quantitative Easing is simply the introduction of money into the economy by a central bank. It has been done twice during the current recession with no positive effects and Ben Bernanke's Federal Reserve seems ready to launch version three – often referred to as QE3.
QE1 launched on November 25th, 2008 with a Federal Reserve initiated purchase of $500 Billion in mortgage-backed securities with the hope of lowering borrowing costs in order to stimulate the drowning housing market. The fed later bought several hundred billion dollars of securities from troubled entities such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan banks.
By buying up assets from private institutions, it lowered the risk those institutions possessed and would theoretically lower the cost of borrowing money.
Finding asset purchases to not be doing enough, the Federal Reserve lowered the key interest rate to .25%.
More troubled-asset buyouts occurred through 2009 and the Fed started to aggressively buy Treasury notes.
QE1 lasted until the end of March 2010 and resulted in 30-year mortgage rates dropping from 6.33% in late 2008 to 5.23% at the end of Q1 2010. $1.25 trillion was invested in asset purchases by the Federal Reserve during QE1.
QE2 went from November 3rd 2010 to June 30th of 2011.
Bought $600 billion of longer term treasuries by selling off short-term agency assets.
Although some economists had expected the move to keep interest rates low, 30-year fixed mortgage rates actually climbed .5%.
By the end of 2012, the Federal Reserve hopes to put downward pressure on long term interest rates by selling a portion of its sizable inventory of long term Treasury bonds in trade for shorter term notes. By selling the longer term notes, it is expected that prices for those bonds will increase, thereby decreasing the yield or interest on them. Operation twist is not quantitative easing as it adds no net money supply due to the trading of one security for another.
Operation Twist started in the fall of 2011 and offers both good and bad news. The bad news is that it doesn't seem to be doing very much to help the economy. Long term interest rates are at historic lows and the economy is not accelerating. This again points to the fact that borrowing costs are not the major issue holding the economy back.
One thing of note is that the sell-off of long-term Treasuries is exactly opposite of the Fed move in QE2. QE2 was about economic stimulus by lowering risk. Twist is focused on affecting interest rates in order to encourage borrowing. Neither addresses the fundamental issues of over-regulation, over-taxation and a White House opposed to free markets.
The effect on the economy from QE1 and QE2 are heavily-debated. Many experts discuss the inflationary effect that pumping so much money into the economy has while others state that banks actually never turned around and lent the money – it was used to shore up their own reserves so that the financial system did not fundamentally collapse.
While interest rates are at their lowest in recorded history, the housing and commercial real estate markets have yet to see a bounce to the upside. The real estate bubble was caused by banks being forced to loan to those that could not afford it – not by high interest rates. Lowering interest rates didn't make those folks any more able to take on a mortgage than they were 5 years ago.
Lowering interest rates should also help corporations get funding – if only they wanted it. Large companies are sitting on their money out of distrust of the current administration and oppressive regulation. Making it a tiny bit less expensive to borrow doesn't allay those concerns. In a recent World Economic Forum report, exactly those concerns were listed as a major reason for downgrading the U.S. economy's competitive ranking to #7 (from #1 in 2008).
For the experts that claim that the money supply didn't grow to higher levels during QE1 and QE2.. here's some real chart data for you. According to the experts at Shadowstats.com (chart right) the supply of currency and coin grew substantially during the months that quantitative easing was occurring. M1 is the measure of money in circulation and the chart says it all.
The effect of a constantly increasing money supply is inevitably inflation. Defined as "a greater number of dollars searching for a diminished number of goods" inflation occurs due to the declining buying power each dollar represents. Our dollar has its value pinned to our Gross Domestic Product which has been growing at a much slower rate than M1. Price inflation is the only possible outcome.
Ben Bernanke and his cohorts at the Federal Reserve began meeting again today. The markets are anticipating another round of Treasury buys, asset buyouts and short to long term asset roll-overs to come out of the meeting. All of which is intended to bring long term interest rates down.
Should another round of quantitative easing (QE3) occur, it will certainly continue to inflate the price of non-bond assets and long-term bonds as more investors will walk away from the anemic yields on long term notes. Stocks will continue to see price increases despite a flagging economy which may slow private investment in the economy.
The money pumped into the economy will further increase M1 and decrease buying power for the average consumer. The inflation that all grocery shoppers, electricity users and gasoline buyers have been seeing will continue – even though the government's measure (which leaves out food and fuel) will continue to show the success of QE with no ill effects.
The real question is why it's being done? So far, QE has neither bouyed the economy nor re-invigorated it. The housing market is still in shambles and employment is unimproved. With only two months until the election and his chairmanship on the line if President Obama loses, Bernanke may be playing politics with the American economy.
Inflation expectations are for as much as a 5% peak consumer prices in the very near future As Tyler Durden of Zerohedge.com wrote:
CPI remains below 2% but there is a clear lag between the rise in market-implied inflation and it showing up in the unicorn-laden CPI prints – what this means is that given the hubris of the Fed yesterday,market expectations of inflation are inferring CPI could rise to over 5% within the next 3 to 6 months.

Single and trying to make friends in town. And see if it leads to anything or just friends. Anything is possible!
I just moved to Forney. Trying to meet new people and make new friends. I love being around family and friends, meeting new people, watching tv shows, taking pictures, laughing, watching movies, going out for drinks, concerts, road trips, relaxing on the couch...just about anything as long as I am having a good time! I'm always up for doing just about anything! :) I'm looking for someone that is trustworthy, honest, loyal, good looking, enjoys being around me and the people in my life, someone that can carry on a good conversation, outgoing, wants to have fun, basically someone that would be like a best friend to me. Also wouldn't mind making new friends through this as well! ** I have decided to go ahead and put down the fact that I am deaf... I have noticed that it would be easier to put it down on here than go through the first date and then not hear anything back from anyone after them finding out that I am deaf... It is not a barrier for me or anyone... I can read lips real well and hear with my hearing aids and can speak as well! If that doesn't scare anyone away, then let me know. (I am also very fluent in Sign Language)**

I really don't have a lot of favorites. I'm not really that picky about alot of things. I like to try everything once to see if I like it or not! I think you should always give everything a chance before you start hating it.
I love to do all sorts of fun things. I like to kick back at home and just relax and watch a movie with popcorn and a drink, or just go out and catch a movie, or take a trip out of town. I am open to anything! I play kickball and also enjoy running.
I am not much of a book reader. But I do try to read a book every once in a while. My fave author probably would be Nicolas Sparks. He was the author of "A Walk to Remember", and "The Notebook." I have also read some of his other books!

Originally written on The Sports Bank | Last updated 8/17/12
So the Chicago Sun-Times editors decided to have Trey Ferro, son of the newspaper's owner Michael Ferro, as the "game face" for an edition. How classy, genuine, meritocratic and not at all pandering to nepotism! The Ferro family attended a Chicago Cubs home game and the photo above was taken with Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts up in the Wrigley Field scoreboard. Awwwww, what a cute power couple they make! Maybe it's not the editors of the Sun-Times who are to blame for "the Bright One" looking like a family newsletter or a family photo share on a Facebook page? (Funny, I thought it was actually a big city high circulation newspaper?) Maybe it's the S-T chairman himself who is responsible for this embarrassment on numerous levels? I'll let Robert Feder from Time Out Chicago explain: on Page 67 of Wednesday's paper was a quarter-page photo of the Wrapports chairman with his wife and kids hanging out behind the Wrigley Field scoreboard with Cubs owner Tom Ricketts. But wait, there's more...

Approach beta from Sawmill Campground at Saddlebag Lake can be found here:
By Laine
From: Reno, NV
Sep 6, 2011
|I found Stefurak's beta useful, however, we found that we had to hike at least 5-10 mins downhill, south of the plateau before we found the correct descent gully to the base of the SW face/ W ridge. The cairn marking the trail down the gully was not visible until we were directly on top of it.
By Murf
Sep 6, 2011
Laine has a great point. Luke's beta is spot on until the end. I don't believe there is any reason to go all the way to the cemented Geo Survey windbreaks. The correct descent is just to the right of the left snowbank in this photo.
On the sandy plateau, continue towards Conness dropping slightly. There are a couple of bivy windbreaks well lower than the high shoulder with the Geo Survey ones. From these, drop into the sandy wash and then back up to the area between the two snowbanks in the photo above tending toward the left notches.

My recommendation for people who don't hate hiking and love the mountains beyond just the climbing route to be done. Appreciation for views, route finding, and off-trail sub-alpine and alpine travel required.
I'm much more fond of approaching Conness from the South (Lembert Dome). The standard Saddlebag approach basically summits the mountain, and then descends down to you're route. This felt a bit silly.
Approaching from Lembert Dome is longer distance, but much less elevation. 5-ish miles on trail lead you to the incredibly beautiful Young Lake, from which you can drool, froth, and do whatever else you do when confronted with the head-on view of Conness' South Face, framed by a sub-alpine lake. This perspective on the approach makes this method, to me, 100x more enjoyable than Saddlebag. From here, head cross-country through the forest, aiming at Conness. Travel is fairly easy as far as off-trail goes, as vegetation is sparse in those forests. A map and compass bearing helps, but it's kinda hard to miss that mountain. Walk straight up to the South Face or West Ridge, and climb it! Descending Saddlebag to a stashed car could make for a really cool, aesthetic day of travel in the mountains.

The Village, Essex MA
I was again very pleased with my meal - broiled scallops entre, bread pudding dessert. My DC loved the fried clams; the one I stole from her plate we simply amazing - crispy, flavorful with a briny clam centering it all. Just like the last time I ordered them there last spring.
'Here is link to a recent Globe review. http://www.boston.com/ae/food/restaur...
As old-school as it is and the associated demographic it seems to cater to, the Village is still one of the best places on the North Shore. And the service can not be beat.
re: ScubaSteve
They do have a bar where I will definitely eat next time - food was really good, but the walkers blocking the aisles and talk of colonoscopies surrounding us was not - seriously.
re: ipsofatso
ok. it's on the List.
re: ScubaSteve
Scuba, by the time you get there all those seniors will be fat, happy and sound asleep at home. BTW the chow is very good.
I have been to the Village several times and have always found the food to be excellent. The demographics of the clientele are fairly obvious but I do find the constant reference to the "blue hairs", "the wrinkle-room aspect", the "walkers" and "talk of colonoscopies" to be distasteful, as we will all be there someday.
re: bakerboyz
Fair point on the walker comment (which is truthful but not so sensitive on my part), however, I don't think lower GI medical procedures should EVER be discussed within earshot of ANY strangers or service folks in public, regardless of age - that is what is truly distasteful.
That said and to stay on topic, the platter of broiled haddock, scallop, and shrimp I had there was actually terrific.
