In this issue:
Doug Cooper, Iowa State University Extension communications specialist, interviewed climatologist Elwynn Taylor, integrated pest management specialist Rich Pope, and corn agronomist Roger Elmore Tuesday, May 26 for the weekly Iowa crop and weather report.
Elmore reports heavy rain has created a bit of a dilemma for farmers trying to determine whether or not to replant corn. He says replanting at the end of May will normally reduce production by about 30 percent compared to late April early May plantings.
The rain should end as May comes to an end, according to Taylor's interview. And once fields are suitable for fieldwork most of the spring chores should be completed.
Pope talks about early movement of black cutworm showing up in black cutworm traps. Now is the time to begin scouting for this pest that migrates into Iowa from southern locations.

Two things must be balanced when deciding whether to apply pesticide: the cost of control and the value of the commodity that will be saved. Action thresholds are commonly used in field crop entomology, and are defined as the pest density at which chemical controls should be applied. Action thresholds are generally meant to be dynamic based on crop market value and ever-changing control costs.
An action threshold has been established for black cutworm larval damage in corn. Last year, 2008, corn was much more valuable and the thresholds were lowered. This year corn prices are somewhat lower and it would be appropriate to raise the threshold accordingly, i.e., don't spend money on control unless it is profitable. This shows that it would be appropriate to routinely adjust the control action threshold as the expected yield and price per bushel of corn changes and the cost of control increases or decreases.
To facilitate calculating the changes in the black cutworm action threshold, an Excel spreadsheet with a dynamic threshold has been created. The calculations use the density of corn (plants per acre), expected yield (bushels per acre), and the anticipated value of a bushel of corn to determine the value of a single plant.
Then by dividing the cost of control by the value of a single plant, the number of plants that can be lost per acre to break even will be determined. Finally, by dividing the number of plants that can be lost to equal the cost of control by the actual stand count and multiplying by 100, the percentage of the plants that can be lost to break even is identified.
To make these calculations easier, follow this link to a downloadable spreadsheet template. There is an explanation with two examples to demonstrate the spreadsheet tools. The third column, Ex.3, contains a formula. If the user downloads the Excel spreadsheet and inserts their values for plant population, expected yield, anticipated market value, and the cost of control - an action threshold, in percent stand lost, will be calculated by the spreadsheet.
Please use anticipated yield estimates that are appropriate for the stand that has been planted and is established. By saving the Excel spreadsheet to the user's personal computer, it can be used repeatedly as the value of corn and cost of control change.

SCN WorkshopThe soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is widely considered the most damaging soybean pest in the Midwest. Effective long-term management of SCN requires thorough knowledge of SCN biology and use of field scouting, resistant soybean varieties, and nonhost crops in an integrated management approach. An all-day workshop focused on SCN will be held on Wednesday, July 29, 2009, in Ames. Topics of discussion at the workshop will include:• basic biology of SCN • how the nematode modifies living soybean cells to support itself• proper techniques for in-season scouting and soil sampling for SCN• integrated management of SCN to maintain profitable soybean production• how performance of SCN-resistant soybean varieties varies among SCN-infested fields
There will be opportunities for participants to observe SCN-infected plants and various SCN life stages under microscopes. Also, there will be hands-on demonstrations of the procedures used to extract SCN cysts from soil and to extract SCN eggs from cysts. Workshop instructors will be Palle Pedersen, ISU extension soybean agronomist, and ISU nematologists Thomas Baum and Greg Tylka. Participants can earn 7.0 Certified Crop Adviser pest management CEUs.
Corn Nematode WorkshopThere is increased interest in plant-parasitic nematodes as pests of corn. On Thursday, July 30, 2009, there will be an all-day workshop in Ames focused on the basics of the biology and management of corn nematodes. Specific topics of discussion in the workshop will include:• review of the nematode species that can damage corn• corn nematode life cycles and feeding habits• symptoms of nematode damage on corn• how to sample to determine if nematodes are damaging corn• current and future management options for nematodes on corn
The workshop also will include demonstrations of procedures used to extract plant-parasitic nematodes from soil and corn root tissue. The workshop will be taught by ISU nematologist Greg Tylka and participants can earn 7.0 Certified Crop Adviser pest management CEUs.
Participants in both workshops will receive printed course notes, other print publications, and computer training modules on CDs. The registration fee for each workshop is $150, and there is a 10 percent discount for individuals registering for both workshops. The nematode workshop flyers contain more information and registration form.

Car Crash: Frank Buyanga Crashes Ferrari 458 Italia in Cape Town
Adding to the unfortunate list of supercars which have been wrecked in recent weeks, Zimbabwean property tycoon Frank Buyanga recently cheated death after crashing his $230,000 Ferrari 458 Italia in Cape Town, South Africa.
The crash took place on Thursday last week at roughly 6am, after the millionaire playboy lost control of the 570hp Ferrari 458 Italia in wet weather while negotiating the 'Hospital Bend' in central Cape Town.
The English millionaire is estimated to have a personal fortune exceeding $20 million after selling properties in Europe and Africa and is no stranger to the spotlight after he was suspected of fraud by Zimbabwe's Finance Minister Tendai Biti a few years back.

As the human population of the planet grows larger and larger, the cumulative effects on the environment have increased to the point where mankind now has a significant impact upon the planet, as well as each individual's local surroundings and environment. The increasing demand for numerous finite natural resources, including living space, means that natural habitats are being destroyed in order to use the land for settlement or commercial activities. The larger population also has a greater need for manufactured goods and electricity, which results in an increased amount of pollution being released into the air, soil and watercourses.
In the face of such rising demand and environmental impact, it would at first glance seem that reducing pollution and damage to the environment is an unreachable goal. However, attitudes have changed within the last couple of decades, and greater levels of environmental awareness and green initiatives such as recycling schemes have made a significant start on the road to achieving that once unreachable goal of saving the planet from total environmental destruction.
Along with individuals, many businesses too have changed their attitudes over the last ten or twenty years. Similar to health and safety in Victorian factories, attitudes towards the environment have been swung largely through public opinion and pressure for them to change their ways. As far as a business is concerned, if they are seen to be big polluters or have environmentally-damages practices, the harm to their reputation can have a devastating effect on profit levels as potential customers shun their products in protest. The global reach of the internet and social media sites means that a company's activities can be exposed to people across the world in a very short period of time, tarnishing their reputation across the world literally overnight.
This change in business attitudes has led to a surge in demand for environmental qualifications for new or existing employees which not only help the company comply with new environmental legislation, but also to go above and beyond the minimum requirements and be seen to 'go green' by actively trying to keep their environmental impact to a minimum, or even improve their local surroundings.
ATC Risk provide a number of accredited environmental health and safety training courses, including their own tailorable courses which cater to your company's requirements. Visit www.atcrisk.co.uk for more information.

Fuel team scheme may slash your bills
Posted: February 19, 2013|
A SCHEME which can save Mid Devon families pounds off fuel bills launched this week.
People are being invited to see whether they could access savings on their energy bills thanks to the innovative collective switching initiative.
The campaign, which runs between February 18 and March 17, will be hitting the road from Friday on a seven-day, tour with its promotional bus, nicknamed 'Bill', in a bid to take the collective energy buying scheme to Devon residents.
The scheme hopes to help people save at least £100 off their heating bills by people coming together to switch utility providers, and although called 'Exeter Together' it is in fact available for anyone in the region to join.
Cllr Rachel Sutton, Exeter City Council's member for sustainable development and transport, said: "We are really excited as we are helping to make the benefits of collective buying power a reality.
"This is an enormous opportunity to get people switching to a better rate and we can't wait to tell people all about it during our tour of the city. Although the campaign is called Exeter Together, it is worth pointing out that anyone can actually join it – whether you're from Tiverton, Crediton, Cullompton or in fact anywhere in the UK, the more the merrier!"
Older people requiring assistance with registration can contact Age UK Exeter on 01392 202092 to make an appointment to see an adviser at the charity's centre in Cowick Street in Exeter.
Alternatively, people can also visit the Citizen Advice Bureau as help is on offer for people who might need additional assistance using the Exeter Together website.
People are advised to bring their latest fuel bill so that staff can help people make the comparison and the CAB will also be helping clients who book advice appointments to fully understand the scheme and the financial benefits it may be possible to secure.

Support engineering school for A&M-CC
Backers of project fell short of objective this time, but they should return to the issue during the next legislative session.
Every two years, as the curtain comes down on a biennial session of the Texas Legislature, there is a certain amount of jostling and gesturing as the senators and representatives put out self-congratulatory pronouncements pointing to all they've accomplished for the great state of Texas and, more to the point, for the home folks.
With the Coastal Bend, congratulations were in order with regard to such undeniably solid accomplishments as the successful effort to breathe new life into the Children's Health Insurance Program, and for the sweeping actions taken to rehabilitate the scandal-ridden Texas Youth Commission. Long-overdue action to ensure that final votes on legislation will be recorded was also a definite plus, and a welcome index of progress in the continuing effort to foster openness in state government.
However, there were also some setbacks, and so far as the Coastal Bend is concerned, one of the the most painful was the failure of the effort to win state approval of the establishment of an engineering school at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
House Bill 3556 and Senate Bill 1150 -- submitted by Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz Jr., D-Corpus Christi, and Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, D-McAllen, would have laid the groundwork necessary to add engineering to the array of academic programs available to students at the island university. This of course would have added to the appeal of the institution for high school graduates comparison-shopping for higher education. Just as important, it would have created a new source for well-prepared engineering graduates to fill positions in industries in Corpus Christi and throughout the Coastal Bend.
Just down the road, however, this proposed addition to the programs available at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi drew brickbats, not cheers. Supporters of the Frank H. Dotterweich College of Engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville saw the A&M-CC proposal not as a step toward expanding opportunities in the region, but as a threat to their own institution. Typical was the reaction of Kingsville Mayor Sam Fugate, who maintained there is no real need for an engineering school at the Corpus Christi campus, and suggested it would siphon engineering students away from A&M-Kingsville.
That sentiment was exaggerated, but it achieved its end -- this time. There will, however, be another session two years hence. A&M-Corpus Christi and its supporters should see to their armory of arguments, and resolve to marshal them to the end of putting this eminently worthwhile project over the top.

Half of all new HIV infections occur in people under age 25 — one fourth in people under age 21. — U.S. Office of National AIDS Policy
Seventeen-year-old Rachel is as stunned as anyone when word spreads through her upper-middle-class community that Jason, a popular athlete who recently died, was an IV drug user. But it's the next bomb that really hits home: Jason, a former intimate partner, may have been HIV positive. Wanting to learn more about HIV, Rachel is urged to visit the local AIDS clinic by a substitute teacher, Sarah, but is too scared to face up to the possibility that she may be infected. So Rachel confides her fears to Sarah, who reveals that she has been secretly living with HIV for more than seven years. Unfortunately, secrets have a way of getting out - and both women soon learn that gossip, like disease, can spread swiftly.

My mistake - Warfare is not the end of the campaigning season. While it is the last major, there is still the 5th round of the Northern League to go this weekend.
Ian did successfully defend his Warfare title this weekend, winning the 15mm period, but even that was not enough to prevent David overhauling him when his score from last year dropped off the radar. I'm not sure, but if both Ian and David turn up to the 5th round of the Northern league, and Ian wins it, then there is a chance that by replacing his 46 from Roll Call with a score of 80 he might yet snatch it from David. David's score is immaterial - he already has 6 scores at 80 or higher so can't improve on his.
So the GB Rankings for 2010 come into their final competition of the year - Warfare. There are 5 players who look like they are within shouting distance of the title, but a closer look at the stats reveals different story. Of them, Ian Austin and Steve Bainbridge are both winners from Warfare last year, so their current ranking includes a protected 100 which will disappear after the weekend, to be replaced by whatever their score is this year. And realistically they can't improve on top, so their rankings can only go down. For Steve that means that despite his run of 6 wins in his last 6 games he isn't really in contention. For Ian it means that he has to win this year. Tim Child, currently sitting 3rd, is umpiring at Warfare rather than playing, so won't be increasing his score (although it won't go down either). David Thompson had a terrible time at Warfare last year - one of his worst scores and because it's protected it has been dragging his score down all year. This year he is unable to make Reading so it will vanish and allow one of his high scores from the Northern League to be counted, which should (and I haven't done the maths) get him past Ian and into top place.

My gold and silver gurus are calling for a time out correction in the advance of these two precious metals on world markets. Silver is in a "blowoff top," writes Ananthan Thangavel of Lakshmi Capital this morning. He sees a "correction down to the moving averages" that would push silver back to a range of a high price of $37 or a low of $33 an ounce. Silver has run with fits and starts from about $28 an ounce in mid-November, 2010 to almost $50 an ounce on the opening today. Too much, too soon. Unlike the steady moderate pace for gold, admittedly a larger market. "This rate of ascent certainly can't be maintained," Thangavel wrote me. "But I do believe we're still in the middle of a bull market in silver."
AS for gold, Canadian mining entrepreneur Frank Giustra feels "gold is due for a correction, but I believe long term secular bull market still has a long way to run." The reason; "The dollar will continue to go down… I am one that believes that many of the policies are designed to create a lower dollar, for reasons that go far beyond just making exports more competitive." Watch the dollar and you will know which way gold is going. The US cannot service its massive debt, no matter what any politician says on sunday tv. Look for a devalued currency and a very long period of hardly any cost of borrowing money. The symbol of America's decline as a world economic power is the devaluation of the debt-ridden dollar. Silver and gold aren't debt-ridden unless you borrowed a lot of money to buy them. Don't do that.

Murmuring about Bread from Heaven
5 comments:
Mark, a quick thought about being taught and learning: for me anyway, I can be taught many things but I will not really learn them until I apply them in my life somehow. Maybe it's the difference between head and heart knowledge. Also may be why the scripture tells those who have ears to listen; meaning go beyond mere listening to pondering and applying. I like a quote from Richard Feynman-many people learn things, few understand them.ReplyDelete
That's a great observation Marian. Hearing and learning do not always happen at the same time.
Thanks for the note.
Mark, thank you for your work. I very much have appreciated this illuminating study. I hope for more from you.ReplyDelete
As you know, I no longer preach anymore, but I do appreciate you keeping me up to date on so much...and you make my life better. Cherishing our friendship. Peace, brother.ReplyDelete

26 Hollywood Casting Close Calls
Will Smith Turned Down "The Matrix"

Will Smith was apparently a little uneasy about being a sci-fi star. Initially, he passed on his role in 1997's "Men in Black"—until Jada Pinkett Smith talked some sense into him. Soon after, he was courted for a much more mind-bending thriller: "The Matrix." That's right—he was the first choice to play Neo and only when he passed did it go to Keanu Reeves. But Will is happy about how things turned out. "I would have absolutely messed up 'The Matrix,'" he said. "At that point I wasn't smart enough as an actor to let the movie be -- whereas Keanu was." Instead, Will did "Wild Wild West." Oops. [CNN, How Stuff Works

I have seen a number USB flash drives bracelets around and really liked the idea. It seems like a convenient way to keep a flash drive handy, though it does seem a bit geeky. Now I am not one to shy away from my inner geek, rather I figured I would take it to another level and make a Lego flash drive bracelet.
Step 1: What you will need
- USB flash drive
- cord, string or elastic
- LEGO (eight 2x2 and one 2x4) you may need more or less depending on size of wrist
- Sugru
- Glue
- Rotary tool
Step 2: Prepare Lego and flash drive
- Carefully remove the case of the flash drive, it can usually be pried apart without too much trouble.
- Drill two holes on opposite sides of the 2x2 pieces with a 1/16th drill bit. I did this to all but one of the 2x2 pieces. The holes should line up, marking the spot with a pen before drilling will help.
- For the last 2x2 piece removed the tube from the underside of the piece and one wall. On the opposite wall, I drilled two holes (see above point), this will be the cap.
- For the 2x4 piece, removed the three tubes on the underside. Remove one wall and drilled two holes on the opposite wall (same as above). I needed to grind away a bit of the inside with my Dremel to get the flash drive to fit.
Step 3: String your Lego

Regal Tip barrel tip drumsticks give you the sound you're looking for. Best of all is the unique Regal Tip finish: the longer you play, the better your grip gets!
Maple is not good for heavy hitters! I love the feel and sound of these 8A Maples, however, I wouldn't play them on loud gigs with PA's and Amps to compete with. They will break. For lighter acoustic and Jazz gigs, however, I think you will find that they are effortless sticks.
I have been using 8A's for awhile. But I was using Hickory. I have been having alot of problems with my wrists and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to my job. My hands were going numb very fast when I played my drums. I tried these sticks and it made a huge difference. They are still the size I like but the Maple is lighter. I don't feel my wrists straining and they seem to absorb more vibration.

I've been in IT since the '80's, and every company I've worked for, large or small, has had their own backup generators of some sort. Some, at start-ups, were just a portable gas generator that they could set outside the back door and fire up to keep a few critical servers running. Other larger companies had jet turbines on standbye.
All for the same reason that companies are hesitant to commit all of their IT to the cloud - keeping control. It's not about jobs, it's about being sure that critical services are available when you need them, and also who's neck you're going to throttle when things go wrong.
In most U.S. ports, it's not Customs that makes the decision to inspect, it's actually ICE.
In the olden days, back when I worked as a contractor for Customs, entry into the U.S. went like this:
1. You went to Immigration Control first. Pre-ICE (US Immigration Control) checked your passport and entry form, OK'd you to enter, and then you reclaimed your baggage (whether you were traveling onwards or not).
2. You then had to clear Customs, which looked at your itinerary (e.g where you'd been), your bags (i.e were they bulging, smelly, etc.) and your face and non-verbal cues to determine if you warranted a further inspection. If you did have something questionable, there were actually expert (!!!) customs agents available to determine compliance.
Today, it goes like this:
1. You go to Immigration (ICE) first. Based on your facial expressions, non-verbal cues, and passport history, they determine if (1) you're OK to re-enter the US, and (2) if you need further "assistance" with customs. They make a mark on your entry form, which you later turn in to a customs agent, to indicate if you should be further "assisted". The decision regarding inspection and possible seizure of goods is left almost entirely with ICE, who specialize not in Customs enforcement but Border Control.
2. You move on to Customs Enforcement, which looks at your ICE-noted entry form and either inspects, detains, seizes, or lets you go based on ICE notes on your entry form. If ICE didn't mark your entry form for further scrutiny, you move through Customs very quickly.
The reason for the change? Efficiency. Most people re-entering the US don't need any re-entry assistance, and Customs agents are otherwise very busy. Giving ICE the job of determining 90% of Customs work saves time for travelers and money for the government. But the downside is that most ICE agents aren't trained to sniff out the difference between a guy with handcrafted musical instruments made of foreign raw materials from a guy bringing foreign raw materials into the US with the intent of defeating embargoes and/or tariffs.
The point is, it's not Customs that are dim, it's ICE... and as long as it saves most travelers some time at the desk, it probably won't change.
Um, because it's a touch screen.
Steve Jobs thought about using plastic, in fact one of the prototype iPhones had a plastic screen. He rejected it because of the cheap feel of the plastic, and went with the Gorilla Glass that he used in original iPhones. So I guess it's down to, do you want an indestructible phone screen, or do you want one that feels good?
And, btw, not an Apple fan boy here, I just happened to read Jobs bio by Walter Isaacson, he covered Jobs' choice in fair detail in the book.
Love this movie quote:
Shrek: Donkey, you HAVE the right to remain silent. What you lack is the capacity.
Reading the article helps. He was arrested for "downloading excessive material". In other words, he had a legal JSTOR account, he wasn't accessing it illegally, he just downloaded more material than they wanted him to. Really? That's a crime now? Even the civil matter was settled with JSTOR, but prosecutors went ahead and harassed him anyway.
One day in prison means the likely end of a promising technology career, and is one day too much for someone accused of "downloading excessive material".
Just hope that one day you don't get sent to prison for going over your mobile data usage.
It's not very efficient or ergonomic to have HR (or any) staff staring at reports on a 3" screen all day. It's great to check your mail on the run or a quick text message, or using the browser to find a spot to have a few beers. But it's not intended for reading reports, or working on full screen apps that manage portfolios (for instance) or analyze sales leads.
(Replying to Original Commenter's comment): Yeah, HP sucks, but so does Dell and Acer and Gateway and everyone else who makes PCs.
(Replying to both comments, but mostly AC's): I think you over estimate the demise of the PC and also don't understand what they are used for in Enterprise. I agree that, in general, the PC business is declining. I think that will result in a lot of consolidation, likely into segments where the consumer PC business will consist entirely of low end PCs and the enterprise business will consist mostly of high end servers. And HP's bread and butter is in the Enterprise, so I suspect that a company like Acer or Dell will end up "owning" that business and HP will "own" the Enterprise business. Everyone else will go out of business.
Speaking of enterprise, there are a LOT of applications running on PCs in the enterprise. Salespeople run client / contact management software, account managers run portfolio analysis software, HR runs tons of HR-related apps, there's a myriad of software running on desktops in the enterprise and upgrades are required all the time. I don't see PeopleSoft being replaced by an iPhone app anytime soon.
What about replying to the reply of the
Equally unlikely that Ecuador would try to sneak him out by granting him diplomatic immunity. If they didn't, no Strike Force needed, just pull over the car carrying him (again, legal) pull him out, and tell the remaining diplomats that they're free to go.
Actually not exactly. Police can stop diplomatic vehicles, they just can't detain anyone in the vehicle who has diplomatic immunity. Ecuador would thus have to grant him diplomatic immunity AND drive him to the airport AND put him on a flight with diplomatic status. And of course he'd still have to step onto British soil to get from the car to the plane, and I doubt his diplomatic immunity (if he had it, and that's a big if) would protect him there.
You don't have to buy car insurance, i.e. if you don't own a car.
They already pay a fee per trade at many levels, up to and including their clearing houses which pay a fee to the exchanges. Adding a penny tax on top of the fees isn't going to make much difference, other than slightly reduce revenues down the chain.
Technically, Iranians are Caucasian. So if you must bracket this with race and not nationality as the story describes, then it would be "racist white guy does something stupid to someone just because they're white."
The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.

Editorial: Stepped-up effort to crack down on 'drugged drivers' makes sense
Drunken drivers take a serious toll on West Virginia's highways, as evidenced by the more than 100 people killed and 700 injured every year in the Mountain State in alcohol-related road accidents.
"Drugged" drivers pose much the same risk, as demonstrated in April 2009 when a Barboursville resident under the influence of three types of prescription drugs crashed her car into another vehicle and killed a woman and two teenage girls.
Yet, when it comes to enforcing driving under the influence laws and establishing whether a driver is impaired, the task is much more difficult in cases involving motorists whose abilities are hampered by the use of drugs.
A proposal by West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to change state law could help balance that equation.
Currently, West Virginia law says that authorities have the right to test suspected impaired drivers for alcohol, but does not specifically allow testing of drivers for drugs. Tomblin's proposed legislation would explicitly permit officers to test for drugs. The bill also would apply the same standard that suspected drunken drivers face when they refuse to take a test that checks the level of alcohol: in court, refusal is considered the same as failing the test.
The need for this adjustment to state law is obvious. One in 10 adults in West Virginia has a drug problem, according to federal data, and West Virginia has the nation's highest rate of drug overdoses. It only stands to reason that a significant number of drivers on West Virginia's road could be impaired by the use of drugs. About 1,000 drivers were arrested statewide on suspicion of drugged driving last year, or about 10 percent of all DUI arrests, according to Bob Tipton, the state's director of highway safety.
Officials acknowledge, however, that the proposed changes won't be easy to enforce. Testing motorists for alcohol simply requires a breath test, meaning they must blow into a device. Checking someone for the presence of drugs requires either a blood or urine test, which likely would require obtaining a search warrant if the driver is unwilling to supply a blood or urine sample.
Because of the increased complexity related to drugged drivers, Tipton said state police will begin giving certain officers special training so they can serve as experts in drug recognition. The trained officers would check things like pulse rate, blood pressure and pupil dilation. If the officer determines that the driver is impaired, they could proceed to further blood and urine testing, Tipton said. He anticipates 20 officers would be trained to perform the examinations in the first 18 months after the program is introduced.
As we have learned about drunken drivers, changing laws and stepping up enforcement won't eliminate the deaths and injuries caused by impaired drivers. But these efforts can help reduce the carnage. The legislation proposed by Tomblin and the attendant changes planned by state police are fully worth enacting.

text: 12 February 2007 archive See all show photos TRAINED as a lawyer, Duro Olowu launched his label just two years ago and was named Best New Designer at the British Fashion Awards in 2005. His fast-track to fame was due mostly to the fact that Vogue's Sally Singer and Barneys' Julie Gilhart fell in love with the fluid jersey dresses that began his fashion career – and for autumn/winter 2007-8, they're bound to have just as much love for his coats. The black-white-grey, lilac-black-white or grey-white-black frock-skirted, stiff-collared creations were pure class – they were such a 'moment' that they'll always be remembered for this season but they're bound to be worn for years to come. Olowu, whose father is Nigerian and mother is Jamaican, says he wants fashion to be "joyful" and the African prints he used were an eye-catching addition to Seventies-inspired tunics in silk jersey while the fine herringbone tweed trouser suits reminded us again that that was a decade that remains forever young and cool. Easy chic is not the only thing he does well, however, and jewel-bright velvet jackets in raspberry and aqua went with black trousers buttoned at the ankle. With Olowu you get the impression each look has been meticulously conceived – not necessarily in the context of the rest of the show – so each can be appreciated individually; a baggy matt gold taffeta top; the red and blue heart-print tunic; a cropped tweed bomber and wide-legged trousers under sheer striped knits. Even his accessories become the main event – each carefully searched out and unique – especially with a balloon-style black taffeta tunic which was a clever backdrop to large black and white bangles. Twin dresses in contrasting colours showed off his love of colour and unique way of using it, while a black full-length evening-gown with one puffed shoulder was tailored so perfectly, it was a breath-taking moment of calm amidst the riot of Seventies cool.

TinyMCE: Cloze Editor
The integration (PHP/javascript) is essentially a new button in the HTML editor which brings up an interface that helps create CLOZE questions in the correct syntax. It will also read and edit existing CLOZE items (which you have selected with your cursor).

- Wed, Mar 5, 2014, 6:59 PMHi Anthony,
thanks for your feedback.
The plugin has multiple versions, apart from the 2.4+ version there's a specific download package each for Moodle 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 (installation instructions also differ, as described in the documentation).
We'll look into Github - just tight for time at the moment I'll also see that the next versions get a release #.
- Thu, Mar 6, 2014, 1:22 PMAndreas - Please review https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?id=1022&validation=1 and see if we can patch up those validation warnings. If you have any questions just let me know. Peace - Anthony
- Thu, Mar 6, 2014, 1:41 PMAndreas - For documentation purposes I wanted to note that when approving the plugin, I received the following:
No updatable strings found in the package. Maybe it is not the latest version or the plugin is misconfigured.

- Thu, Mar 6, 2014, 6:52 PMHi Anthony,
I'll look into it later today - the missing release # isn't really a problem (I'll just add it to version.php). About the lang string messages you receive for the Moodle 2.0-2.3 packages - I don't know enough about the "intelligence" of the plugin validation (and its connections to AMOS), but I suspect that it expects lang strings to be in a different format/directory than they are.
Does the database (a) *correctly* validate TinyMCE plugins for Moodle 2.0 through 2.3 (considering that they necessarily involved patching the core file lib.php), or (b) does it (falsely) expect them to conform t the standard plugin format of Moodle 2.4+? In case (b), I could probably put in some "dummy" lang files just to "appease" the plugin database validation - but I wonder whether this would really help anybody. In case (a), I'd need to check whether the lang strings are maybe in the wrong place altogether.
- Sat, Apr 5, 2014, 12:27 AMHi Anthony and Andreas,
I just noticed that the cloze editor add-on is listed twice in the Moodle plugins database:

within the 'others' plugins at https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=other_cloze
Is this good ? or bad ? or non-important ?
- Mon, Apr 7, 2014, 7:40 PMHi German,
yes, after talking to Aparup last month, I "moved" (rather, copied) the plugin to this new location at https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=tinymce_clozeeditor. It makes installation more straigtforward. In the "old" location's description I wrote that the plugin has moved and disabled all the downloads. It can be deleted, but so far I haven't found the right button
- Tue, Apr 8, 2014, 9:18 AMHi Andreas,
Today I successfully tested the CLOZE editor with the Moodle 2.7dev (alpha 20140403) package I just downloaded.
I updated the documentation at http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Cloze_editor_module#Installation_for_Moodle_2.7_and_higher_versions .
As long as the TinyMCE editor is still included in Moodle branches 2.7 and above, the CLOZE editor will be usable, just as long as TinyMCE is chosen as the default HTML editor (as described in the Docs page).
I will re-test when Moodle 2.7 is officially released.
I think this might be a good time to promote this useful add-on in the Moodle forums. Wouldn't you agree ?
- Sun, Jun 22, 2014, 1:41 AMI have successfully tested the cloze editor plugin with Moodle 2.7 TinyMCE editor . This is a great plugin for all Moodle branches.
- Sun, Sep 28, 2014, 11:53 AMHi everybody,
I am trying to install ClozeEditor. I have moodle 1.9 and for this I followed the instructions, they have had no effect within moodle. So ask for help because it does not know what's happening, the exact version is 1.9.16.
- Tue, Sep 30, 2014, 4:40 PMDear Luis,
could you check whether you have the file "insert_cloze.php" in the right directory of your moodle install: "/lib/editor/htmlarea/popups"?
Did you also replace the file "/lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php" with the version from the download package (AFTER backing up the file in your installation)?
- Wed, Oct 1, 2014, 10:39 AMThanks Andreas, i see my error, and cloze editor work in my moodle.
- Sat, Jan 17, 2015, 2:32 AMWill it work in Atto in the future?
- Wed, Feb 25, 2015, 9:03 PMHello Cloze-Developers!
We're using your plugin with Moodle 2.7.5 and in general we don't have any problems, it works as intended.
Only after the latest security updates one of our users has complained, that she's unable now to add formatting to the questions (like bold or color or the like), because TinyMCE seems to then add a lot of
-tags now that destroy the Cloze questions. We're not sure if it's either Moodle or TinyMCE that is the culprit here or if maybe your plugin needs another update. If you have any idea what might be different compared to how your plugin worked together with TinyMCE before, we'd appreciate any information we can get in order to solve our user's problem.
Thank you anyway for your work, it's a great plugin.
- Thu, Apr 16, 2015, 11:38 PMhola Que tal alguien me puede ayudar ha usado este complemento en la versión 2.8 y como funciona, gracias., saludos

MINNEAPOLIS — Before the White Sox's game with the Twins was postponed Tuesday night because of rain after a 50-minute delay, Jake Peavy volunteered his services as a reliever once he has recovered fully8 from a right groin strain.
"We're sitting here talking about me coming back, and I'm telling (pitching coach) Don Cooper and these guys, 'I'll do whatever needs to be done,'" Peavy said. "If I need to go to the bullpen to help out there, we have five starters doing their thing. I certainly think I can be a leader in the rotation as well and be as good as these guys have been.

Dozer Download: Prop 204 fallout worse than we thought
I know that Proposition 204 was defeated at the polls by a two-to-one margin.
The big money behind the no on 204 groups and their anti-tax message were heard loud and clear. It's hard to sell a tax in Arizona, even if it's the continuation of one that's already in place, and pays for your kid's public education.
I know I could stand to be in a lower tax bracket, and there's nothing that irks me more than the phrase "contribute," as in, the more successful you are as an American, the more you should "voluntarily give" to the cause, but taxes are not voluntary. That's called philanthropy.
But the forces behind the no on 204 movement succeeded in not only defeating that measure, but apparently half of the individual districts' bond overrides as well. Ours in Scottsdale Unified failed, and the effect will soon be felt. Personally.
Teachers at my son's elementary school have already gotten a letter stating there will be cuts to teaching staff, and barring some surprise money showing up, there will be no art, music or physical education. I don't send my son to school to learn how to play kickball, but I value the fine arts and whatever music instruction he can possibly get during his day.
I have already checked into enrollment at two private schools for the coming year, but I wanted to do it the "public" way. I wanted to use our wonderful public schools for their well-rounded, pragmatic approach. I wanted to believe that we as Arizonans value the school systems in our neighborhoods enough to support them with a sales tax. It's a consumption tax, and yet, apparently, it's too much to ask.
I understand that as citizens we want to know that our public school dollars are being used effectively. I don't want any wasted money in the education arena, but our teachers need money. Our districts need money. The system does need money to train teachers on common core standards, implementing a computerized system for evaluating teachers based on performance and implementing new and emerging technology in our classrooms.
Arizona teachers are not paid what their peers in Chicago's school system are and shouldn't have to pay the price for the public outrage felt after that city's teachers' strike. There is a cost for continuing education. Teacher evaluation based on results will be impossible without a computer program written for the task and without new technology, our public school children will continue to fall further and further behind. They are our employees and employers of the future.
Arizona deserves better. Here's to hoping the no on 204 groups come up with a finance plan for Arizona schoolchildren -- all of them.

I'm wrapping up my "30 Days of Freelancing" series today because of an unexpected scheduling conflict, but I wanted to share what I learned while doing it.
[This is part of a series -- "30 Days of Freelancing": 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]
It's not about the numbers
I started this series for a few reasons. I felt stuck. I wanted to see if I could do it. And I needed to reframe what I'm doing.
I posted 27 posts in 27 days. That was harder than I thought. There was more than one day that I didn't want to do it, but the self-imposed structure forced me to push through malaise.
As of this writing, the series got nearly 40,000 views, which isn't very good. Ultimately, that wasn't what mattered to me. I wanted to prove something to myself.
(Side note to fellow Forbes contributors: This series doubled my repeat visitors for the month versus the previous month.)
Ignore the peanut gallery
Early on, a few commenters left negative comments. Of course, comments are irrelevant. They're projections of internal voices.
At some point, I read a quote from Andy Warhol that I loved:
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art."
Work is irrelevant
Doing this series boosted my self-esteem, pushed me to relaunch another project that I'm really interested in doing, and got me out of my rut.
My favorite post was: "'You Are All Alone': The Best and Worst Things About Freelancing." For me, that's the hardest thing about freelancing. That you do it by yourself.
Thanks to everyone who read, participated, and supported.
My favorite email arrived this morning:

If there's one thing Katherine Luna regrets, it is meeting Coco Martin.
Katherine, known for her independent films, bore a child with Coco six years ago. However, Katherine revealed that a month after giving birth to their daughter Coleen Beatrice, the Kapamilya actor allegedly walked out of their lives.
"Gusto ko pagsisihan pero wala na akong galit. Sana hindi na kami nagkakilala. Kaso lang kung hindi kami nagkakilala wala akong magandang anak ngayon," Katherine told entertainment reporters after the press conference of TV5's "Bangis" held at Annabel's restaurant in Tomas Morato Quezon City on Tuesday.
Forgiving Coco
"Time heals all wounds" they say, and Katherine said she has learned to forgive Coco for his "shortcomings" as a father to their child after all these years.
"Napatawad ko na siya. Masaya na ako," she kept on saying.
But when it comes to allowing her child to meet Coco, Katherine has one request.
"Wala namang problema basta walang kamerang nakaharap. Yun lang naman yun eh. Kasi unang-una six years old na yung anak ko. May isip na yun eh. Pag nasaktan yun una akong masasaktan," she said.
If ever Coco requests to have his name included in their child's birth certificate, Katherine has a few other requirements.
"Napatawad ko na siya, pero hangga't hindi ko pa nakikita from his heart na talagang concerned na siyang makita at tanggapin ang anak niya, hindi niya gagamitin, hindi niya gusto makita para sa showbiz sige oo, pero ngayon hindi," she added.
Lack of financial support
Aside from providing vitamins while being pregnant and a few cans of milk after giving birth, Katherine revealed that she allegedly received no other support from Coco.
Still, the returning actress made sure her child knows the truth about her father.
"Hindi ko pinagkakaait sa anak ko na makilala niya ang tatay niya. Nakikita niya sa TV. [Sinasabi niya]'Daddy ko yun oh,' relates Katherine.
Asked to comment about Coco's successful career, Katherine had this to say.
"Masaya naman ako nakatulong ako eh," she said.
After winning Best Actress for her first film "Ang Babae sa Breakwater," Katherine left showbiz in 2005 when she admitted through "The Buzz" that she was pregnant.
She now has four children, and is returning to television as Magdalena in the primetime series adaptation of Carlo J. Caparas's "Bangis."

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas craft brews are moving closer to grocery store shelves.
The state Senate will now consider a proposal to overhaul the way beer is sold in Texas under a compromise approved by an influential legislative committee on Tuesday evening.
Small brewers led by Freetail of San Antonio and St. Arnold's of Houston have been campaigning to expand their market. They say current laws unfairly favor out-of-state breweries.
The fight split the state's distributors, who have long held sway with lawmakers.
Senator John Carona, a Republican from Dallas, escalated the stakes by introducing a separate bill that could overhaul the whole industry's pricing structure. The committee approved a more modest version.
But Carona added an amendment tying the entire legislative package together for the votes still to come.
