This is a preview of a timelapse that I recorded yesterday, but due to different levels of exposition present on it (I recorded from dusk to the end of this preview) I need more time to adjust it in camera raw and currently I don´t have enough time, so this is just a preview of the part without exposure variations.
Recorded in Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain.
Recorded using Magic Lantern on Canon 60D.

NARRAGANSETT – The town council unanimously approved a motion to adopt a resolution in support of three pending applications for CDBG funding in this year's disaster relief grant round.
Michael DeLuca, director of community development, explained to the council Monday that the Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Relief program is a special program issued out of sequence with the regular CDBG program by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He said the disaster relief program offers funding for repair and reconstruction of properties damaged in Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Irene and winter storm Nemo.

RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman and L.A. Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes fight for possession Sunday in Carson, Calif. The Galaxy won 1-0.
- Filed Under
The Claret-and-Cobalt escaped the first leg of their Western Conference semifinal series against Los Angeles with only minimal damage on Sunday night, despite being unable to control the tempo of the match and giving the Galaxy's star-studded lineup more than enough chances to bury the series.
While hardly the ideal position, heading into Thursday's second leg on far friendlier soil trailing by just one goal on aggregate is certainly a manageable position for Salt Lake.
On paper that is. ...

If you're keeping track of new HF books, you've probably seen that O'Reilly is publishing 3 new titles, basically right now:
HF C# is already available,
HF Software Development will be out in the next few weeks
HF JavaScript will be out in the next few weeks
I think the team will take a much needed break, and then start thinking about new titles. I can tell you that there are already some new titles underway. I can't tell you what they are until they are closer to complete, but for sure new titles are on their way.
Next time we talk about new books, I'll bring up Hibernate and try to get a feeling about where such a book might be on the priority list.

There are certain things that people will and will not eat…
Rob won't do sour cream, mushrooms, mayonnaise, ribs or buffalo wings. He doesn't like creamy things and he thinks the ribs and buffalo wings are too much of an effort for not enough payback.
My mother won't do oysters. She says they are like boogers. She also won't do watermelon (more on this later)
I am not a lamb lover (though I did make Guys lamb with Blackberry Marsala Sauce…not bad) but mostly, I think lamb is gamey. And I am not really into salmon…or most fish (outside of shell fish)
My Dad. My dad will eat anything. It's true.
So, when it came to the Pork and Watermelon tacos, I knew my dad would be game, and I would have to make them on a night where just he and I were hanging out. My mom went to visit the family in Canada – so my Dad came up to Windsor for a visit – and we busted out the Pork and Watermelon Tacos.
Now, he had a great idea. When you make this recipe, you only need like a cup or so of Watermelon – so he was like "why not just get the pre-cut watermelon instead of the whole thing?" We did. Good thinking. There was less waste (because I am sure I wouldn't have eaten much more watermelon) and less mess.
That night, we had gone out with a friend for some drinks and it was getting a bit late in the evening, and we didn't even have the pork tenderloin yet. When we left the bar, I was like "Oh my gosh…are we sure we want to take this one?" But we did, and I am glad.
It was a healthy recipe and I served it with brown rice. I am always trying to feed my dad healthy stuff. He had a quintuple bypass last December and I am always thinking of his delicate new arteries and I don't want them to suffer. Truth is, at this point, he's probably better off than I am.
In fact, I am always nagging him about food "You can't eat that" "Don't eat that" "Can't you see that has mayonnaise?" Even my mother was like "Wow, and you think I nag you a lot!"
SO – the recipe turned out pretty tasty and if you have leftovers, they make a great little salsa for the next night if you want to bust out the pork again or maybe some chicken.
Next up, I want to make Guytalian Nachos. They were one of the recipes that was criticized by the dude in the New York Times Article…and since it's in the Guy book, it seems only right that I stand up, bust out and make them. I am sure they will rock!

One vegetable successfully grown on a small scale in Cornwall is Asparagus.
The British asparagus season typically runs from 1st May and runs for around 7-8 short weeks until the end of June, although growers of Cornish asparagus traditionally harvest their crop first. If it's been a warm Spring the first bundles of fresh green Cornish asparagus spears may even be cut in mid-April.
The Keelers are the largest growers of this sought-after crop in Cornwall. Husband and wife team John and Jenny Keeler have been farming at Tregassow Farm since 1961 and have mastered the art of asparagus growing for over 10 years. They grow asparagus as a profitable niche crop, on their picturesque 200 acre farm, just a few miles from Truro.
John and Jenny have built up quite a reputation for themselves over the years, for the high calibre of Cornish asparagus they grow at Tregassow Farm. Asparagus is not an easy vegetable to grow, even for the most experienced gardener, and it requires high investment. It is not until the third year of planting the crowns that a full pick can begin.
The Keelers have a team of students from Bulgaria and Romania who arrive each year to pick, grade and pack their asparagus, ready for the wholesalers, farm shops and farmer's markets in Cornwall.
You can meet John and Jenny at the festival, purchase their fresh asparagus on the day and you can even enjoy an asparagus talk with the Keelers, where they will be sharing tips and techniques for growing, cutting and cooking this fantastic seasonal ingredient at home.

The contract in Lafayette General Medical Center's acquisition of University Medical Center has undergone 'significant changes' over the past two weeks, according to officials.
- Filed Under
The contract for Lafayette General Medical Center to take over operations of University Medical Center next week underwent what LSU hospital officials termed "significant changes" in the past two weeks.
The Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget reviewed those changes Thursday but did not have authority to make any changes, because of a state law interpreted by Attorney General Buddy Caldwell to give the panel only the power to review, not approve or deny, hospital privatization contracts.
Among those changes were clarifying provisions for inmate care, specifically allowing for a ...

Police are still trying to figure out exactly what happened previous to yesterday's lockdown at Western Kentucky University.
Authorities have questioned several witnesses, but instead of getting clear answers, police have come up with nothing but conflicting information.
Some people say a gun was fired near the Pearce-Ford Tower Residence Hall, others say no shots were fired. Police also aren't sure if the people involved in the fight that led to the lock down were students.
The president of Western Kentucky University made a statement Thursday applauding the efforts of police and school staff during the crisis situation. But, Unv. Pres. Gary Ransdell also admonished students to be more careful in the future about giving police accurate information.
Class is back in session at WKU.

Quillermo del Toro's comic book adaptation of Hellboy hit theaters today with high anticipation. Can this flick score another point for comic book adaptations, or will is end up in the pits of hell like The Hulk? If you head on over to Yahoo! Movies, you can watch 11 clips and three trailers for Revolution Studios new film, which stars Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, John Hurt and Jeffrey Tambor. Check out the official site for more or read on for a review!
Review by Klownzilla, beware of spoilers:
Hellboy is officially the first movie of 2004 to kick my ass and I loved every minute of it. This is one beating that I'd be happy to experience again and again. There's never a dull moment. I think I spent the whole time in the theater with my jaw hanging down in awe of all the magic that Guillermo Del Toro has presented to audiences. This is one comic book movie that doens't act like a comic book since it has elements of so many genres, so there's something for everyone.
Brought to earth from another dimension, Hellboy, a would-be harbinger of the apocalypse, comes to fight for humanity against the many different creatures of the night that pose a threat. And he does so with his incredible strength, cool weapons and that Right Hand of Doom. He and the rest of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) fight against another apocalypse brought about by the same evil forces who operated during World War II. Led by Rasputin, these villains are also badasses at what they do. Kroenen is just ****ing awesome! His movements, his skills…this is one guy that you wouldn't want to mess with. Sammael is one incredible monster. This reptilian baddie reminded me of a Zoanoid from Guyver and the Kothoga from The Relic, but with his own unique style of menace.
The chemistry between all of the actors is wonderful and it makes you feel for each of the characters. Hellboy is clearly the role that Ron Perlman was born to play. Perlman brings him to life with a superb energy through comedy, drama and most importantly, a badass demeanor. John Hurt was well-fit for Professor Broom, the father figure in Hellboy's life. Their father-son relationship couldn't have been carried out better. Selma Blair played pyrokenetic Liz Sherman with subtley and compassion. I enjoyed her dramatic scenes with Hellboy. You get a sense of how Hellboy loves her and they really do well together. Doug Jones and David Hyde Pierce both bring Abe Sapien to life successfully in their own ways. With Jones' physical attributes and Pierce's vocals, they really make Abe an amazing and realistic gillman. Jeffrey Tambor is the strict BPRD official who is always concerned with keeping Hellboy out of the public eye. I expected him to be a real asshole, but I ended up liking the guy in the end. Rupert Evans was completely believe as newbie Agent Myers. I think he would've been great as Herbert West's young medic assistant in Beyond Re-Animator. And speaking of that film, it was awesome to see Santiago Segura, albeit a cameo.
The CGI was better than I had expected and I'm glad to see that there wasn't an overuse of it with the characters. I think it's necessary for some of the apocalyptic scenes since there's so much supernatural energy going on. For those particular moments, there's a Lovecraftian vibe created which many will enjoy. Not to mention the Cthulhu-inspired Behemoth. With an impressive array of creatures, plus an end-of-the-world situation, there's a touch of Ghostbusters happening. In fact, the first time we see Hellboy and the BPRD go on their first mission, I was reminded of the time the Ghostbusters go after Slimer. It was similar to that, but with a lot more physical action and even some gore.
I think I've rambled enough and I hope that you all check this movie out. You won't be disappointed. In fact I'm going to see again this weekend and probably even next week. There'd better be a sequel. This has got to be the best superhero movie I've seen since Tim Burton's Batman. In closing, Hellboy ****ing rocks!
Klownzilla gives Hellboy a perfect FIVE OUT OF FIVE

Beginning with the newly validated Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy assessments, the assessment results page will provide additional information for an employer to make an informed decision regarding the applicants assessment score.
Angoff Cutoff Score
One of the most commonly used approaches to establishing a cutoff score is the method detailed by Angoff (1971)1. This technique is particularly attractive in applied personnel selection settings because it is easily understood by subject matter experts (SMEs), it has high face validity to job applicants, the courts regularly endorse the technique, and it stands up to academic scrutiny.2
Although there are many variants, the classic Angoff method for setting cutoff scores
- Select and train SMEs who are familiar with the job and have them review each test item;
- Obtain ratings from SMEs on the percent of minimally qualified applicants who would be expected to answer each item correctly;
- Analyze SME ratings to obtain an unmodified Angoff cutoff score;
- Administer the test, and
- Facilitate a discussion with SMEs on the impact/validity of the unmodified cutoff score.3
With each new NurseTesting clinical assessment, the initial Unmodified Angoff Cutoff Score will be displayed next to the applicants overall score. Based on the applicants overall score, the system will automatically compare this score to the Unmodified Angoff Cutoff Score and display either PASS or FAIL on the results page. This enables the recruiter the ability to quickly determine if the applicant passed that particular assessment.
It is important to note, that each assessment will have its own, unique Angoff Cutoff Score. NurseTesting does not recommend the use of Arbitrary Cutoffs such as the 80% rule. Arbitrary cutoffs do not make academic or practical sense.
Furthermore, they can incense applicants who may realize that a meaningless standard in the selection process was used to make very meaningful decisions about their lives and careers.2 As recently as this past April (2009), the United States Supreme Court heard the case Ricci v. DeStefano (07-1428 & 08-328) in which the use of arbitrary cutoffs was an issue brought before the Court.
Modified Angoff Cutoff Score
Initially, when an assessment is administered, the Unmodified Angoff Cutoff Score is used until a sufficient sample size of assessment data is available for analysis. Once NurseTesting has obtained a sufficient sample size for each assessment, a comprehensive analysis will be conducted to determine if a modified Angoff Cutoff Score is necessary. When it comes to best practices for developing cutoffs, there is perhaps none better than the modified Angoff method.2
The cutoff score will be refined / modified based on the data collected during the initial launch of the assessment to account for assessment unreliability and actual test-taker performance. NurseTesting, using the Test Validation and Analysis Program (TVAP), will refine the assessment and identify test items that might be:
- Too difficult
- Too easy
- Negative or low Point Biserials – showing how correlated the item is to the overall test score.
- Cronbachs Alpha review once flawed items are removed
- Differential Item Functioning test items function in different ways for different groups of test-takers
Once the modified Angoff Cutoff Score is calculated using the Conditional Standard Error of Measurement (CSEM), the assessment results page will display the modified Angoff Cutoff Score instead of the initial unmodified Angoff Cutoff Score. Based on statistical analysis, including an Adverse Impact analysis, the recommended modified Angoff Cutoff Score will be used for all future administered assessments. As stated before, each assessment will have its own, unique modified Angoff Cutoff Score.
NurseTesting implemented these processes to continue providing validated content for new exams that meet the Uniform Guidelines for Employee Selection Procedures.

Michael utters a few words, snaps his fingers and you see your friends, one by one, drop to the floor sound asleep. Michael then works his 'magic' and upon waking, one of your friends jumps to her feet, grabs the microphone and starts singing because she believes she is Madonna. Another friend has a horrified look on his face because he can't remember his name no matter how hard he tries. Somebody else is frantically scratching all over her body from imaginary insects. All along, your most intelligent friend has been rolling all over the stage in combat, shooting invisible aliens with his shoe!"

Fee adjustments for graduation applications
Beginning with this fall semester, the $5 fee assessed for second major applications and minor applications has been eliminated for students.
Also effective this fall semester, any late graduation applications received in the Office of the University Registrar will be assessed a $100 Late Graduation Application Fee. As in the past, students must obtain a letter from their dean's office that clearly states the rationale for granting permission to violate the graduation application deadline.
Reminder to Spring 2004 graduation applicants: Spring 2004 graduation applications are due in the Office of the University Registrar by Monday, September 15. Graduation applications received after the September 15 deadline will be subject to the $100 Late Graduation Application Fee.

Political Perspectives on 06/12/13
Host Paul Roland with live guests by phone: Christopher Simpson, Journalism Professor at American University in Washington, D.C. and Christopher Pyle, Professor of Constitutional Law and Civil Liberties at Mount Holyoke College. The program will focus on the vast expansion of electronic and telephone surveillance and "intelligence" gathering in historical perspective and in the light of the current controversy over whistle-blower Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency and the privatization of surveillance.
From the creation of the "National Security State" in the aftermath of World War II to the FBI's Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) to 9/11 and the "War on Terror," the use of police and intelligence agencies to monitor people and stifle dissent has continually expanded, aided by technological innovations and increased corporate involvement. Christopher Pyle disclosed the U.S. military's surveillance of the civil rights and anti-war movements and worked as a consultant to three congressional committees, including the Church Committee, which revealed widespread FBI and other intelligence abuses. He is the author of "Military Surveillance of Civilian Politics" and "Getting Away with Murder."
Christopher Simpson is the author of "Blowback." "The Splendid Blond Beast," "Science of Coercion" and "National Security directives of the Reagan and Bush Administrations" among other works.

James Croll, Esq.
My dear Sir,--Your kind letter was very welcome to me, especially as it also conveys to me Mr. James Geikie's approval of my article. Well knowing my want of practical acquaintance with the phenomena of glaciation, I feel that it is presumptuous in me to write judicially on so complex a subject. My excuse is that for many years the question has been one of the intensest interest to me, and I have taken every opportunity of studying the chief writings bearing upon it. I can only hope that I have fallen into no serious errors [[2]] [p. 335] or misstatements such as dabblers in subjects that don't belong to them are always liable to. I shall take it as a favour if you will point out without hesitation any statements, whether of fact or of theory, that you think require correction, as the chief part of the article will be embodied in a chapter of a work I am now preparing on the causes which have affected the dispersal of animals.
Perhaps you can ascertain from some of the Edinburgh meteorologists whether there are any connected observations of the amount of solar radiation on or near the equator, so as to show how far the difference of the sun's distance at perihelion and aphelion makes itself apparent. It appears to have no effect on the temperature of the atmosphere, but it certainly ought on the direct radiation, and it would be a most important guide to know what effect it really has. I am a great admirer of the late Mr. Belt's writings, and long held to his view as to the causes of glaciation, but on fuller consideration gave them up. I am still, however, greatly fascinated by his theory of the blocking up of the drainage of continents by ice to explain the wide spread of loess and gravel. The ordinary explanations seem utterly inadequate if the facts stated in Belt's papers are anywhere near true. I can hardly accept, however, the mid-Atlantic glacier from Greenland to the Bay of Biscay. Might it not be possible that the confluent glacier of Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales blocked up the North Sea and English Channel? This, with some elevation of the land and some lowering of the ocean, might give almost as much "damming up" as seems needful in Europe.--Believe me, yours very faithfully,
Alfred R. Wallace.

I was leery purchasing this hat. It seemed too cheep/inexpensive to be good quality. I was so wrong. Not only I am super impressed with the shipping time, but I'm also super impressed with the quality of this hat. Thank you TrainParty for having great products at great prices. Y'all are the best!
Posted by Sara on 12th Apr 2012 21:28:15
I was extremely impressed with this engineer hat. The fabric is heavy duty and fit well to most kids. These hats are way far better than the cheaper look-a-like ones which are nothing but a piece of cloth. Highly recommended!

Acer chair insists iPad damage to netbooks will end by March
updated 10:25 pm EST, Wed February 16, 2011
Acer exec says iPad hurt to netbooks just a phase
Acer chairman JT Wang attacked the iPad again today in commentary that reflected the fallout from earlier denials. He acknowledged that the iPad damaged Acer portable sales in the past three to five months but insisted that it was simply a question of buyers waiting for the next wave of tablets to decide whether or not to buy. Netbook and notebook sales would bounce back between March and April once they could make a decision, Wang said.
In spite of the emphasis on notebooks, the executive was optimistic that Acer alone would have 15 to 20 percent of the tablet market through devices like the Iconia Tab series, which saw the A100, A500 and Iconia Smart join the mix at Mobile World Congress. The claim is ambitious given Apple's still large majority of the market and Samsung claiming almost all of the rest.
Wang partly planned to help it out by listening to vendors that were hoping to disrupt Apple's control of the tablet market. A MeeGo tablet was due before the end of the year.
The remarks reflect a history of Acer executives denying any effect from the iPad on sales, even as the tablet was causing actual damage. Wang made nearly identical comments in the fall, contending that the iPad sales rate was just a temporary rush that would quickly end and see users go back to notebooks. At the same time as he made the statements, Acer portable sales were dropping sharply while the iPad was still growing.
Acer has often had strong financial incentive to hope for tablets to fade out of popularity. As the premier manufacturer of netbooks, it stands to lose the most from customers buying tablets instead. It has gone to the extent of hoping rivals exit first to give it more share of the netbook market.

Can car parking spaces really cost more than a house?
Thu, Dec 8, 2011
A recent article published by The Telegraph, stated that a parking space in central London can cost more than a house in Middlesbrough. This is interesting news for anyone looking into car park investment as it helps to highlight the strength of this unique, commercial asset.
Referring to stats compiled by the mortgage company ING Direct, the newspaper stated that a parking space in the west London borough of Kensington and Chelsea can cost up to £95,800.
Comparing the cost of this parking space to the average property price in the north-eastern town of Middlesbrough where the average property will set you back £82,300, the research highlighted the ever-growing cost of parking in the capital.
Based on a poll of 250 property surveyors, ING Direct estimated that off-street parking adds around 10% to the value of a property. On the basis that the average cost of a property in Kensington and Chelsea costs about £958,000, the value of a car park space in this location is £95,800.
Speaking about the company's findings, Julian Hartley, mortgage director at ING Direct stated, "In central London locations, where you'll find some of the most expensive properties in the world, a parking space will bring with it a hefty price-tag."
Despite the global economic recession, the price of property in London has risen by 0.3% in 2011. According to Hartley, for most Britons a car park space is a 'must' when searching for a property.

Discount could earn extra cash for Brentwood schools
A "friends and family" discount from a national service provider could net a savings in energy bills for Brentwood Borough School staffers and residents, while bringing in additional cash for the district.
Board members at their meeting Monday are set to vote on a motion to participate in the FirstEnergy Solutions Friends and Family Revenue Sharing Initiative for school entities, coordinated through the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, in conjunction with FirstEnergy and the Western Pennsylvania Electricity Consortium.
The program provides a discounted rate on energy bills for those that switch their energy supplier to FirstEnergy while giving the selected school district, such as Brentwood, $10 for each enrollment.
"We all get to pick our energy supplier," said Superintendent Ronald Dufalla to the board at their agenda setting meeting Monday, noting that he noticed a savings on his own bills with a switch to the friends and family program through FirstEnergy.
The discounted rate is guaranteed to Penn Power, West Penn Power and Penelec customers through September 2014 and Duquesne Light customers through December 2014.
Current FirstEnergy customers cam call and ask to be added to the district's friends and family deal, business manager Jennifer Pesanka said.
The district will start by distributing fliers about the program to staff members, Pesanka said, and possibly, then, announce the discount in the community.
Enrollment can be completed online, she said.

You like using Craigslist to promote your business, but perhaps you want to spice things up a little. While a standard Craigslist ad with text and photos may attract a steady flow of customers, imagine the increased effectiveness of ads that are presented in a more striking format, complete with interesting fonts, in-text graphics and many of the elements that are common in other print and Web advertising. If you don't already have a basic understanding of HTML tags and syntax, this might be the time to learn since HTML is the key to creating ads that attract the most attention on Craigslist.
Navigate to Craigslist and select "post to classifieds." (If you have an account, sign in first, although you don't need an account to post.)
Enter the content for the ad, including a posting title, price, location and any other header information. Enter text into the posting description.
Format text fonts by enclosing the text in HTML tags. HTML tags have a beginning and a closing tag; for instance, the tag that makes text bold is "" and the tag that ends the bold text is "." A few common tags include:
Bold Text Italicized Text Small Text <big>Big Text</big>
Add line breaks using the HTML tag"
" -- which requires no closing tag, unlike most other HTML. For example:
My first line is short.
My second line is also short.
Add photos and graphics using the "" tag which points to a specific file name and location on the Internet. For example:

HTML links use the "" tag, which includes both the link location and a clickable text description. For example:
Text for Your Link Goes Here.
Click "Continue" when you are finished editing your ad. Click "Browse" if you want additional images to appear at the bottom of your ad. Click "Done With Images." Click "Continue" to post your ad.
- If you have a one-page brochure or ad you want to feature as a Craigslist ad, save it as a .jpg file (not too large; try 100Kb or less) on a Web page or Internet server, then simply use the technique explained above for posting that image location into the body of your Craigslist ad.
- Text font tags can be "stacked," such as this: Your bold, italicized and big text here. But this is just the beginning. Research more about HTML tags so you can make your Craigslist ad as attractive as possible.

Corn market finds positive ground, wheat unchanged
CHICAGO, Illinois (Agriculture.com)--The CME Group corn prices closed higher, wheat unchanged, just as some traders thought would happen Wednesday. Because some marketwatchers think Thursday's USDA report will be bullish, they wanted to get long the market today.
The Dec corn futures settled 2 cents higher at $4.11. The Nov. soybean contract closed 6 1/2 cents lower at $10.15 1/2. The Sep. wheat futures ended unchanged at $6.94 3/4. The Dec. soymeal futures contract closed $1.90 per short ton lower at $287.90. The Dec. soyoil futures settled 15 points higher at $42.38.
In the outside markets, the NYMEX crude oil is $2.30 per barrel lower, the dollar is sharply higher, and the Dow Jones Industrials are down 239 points.
Tim Hannagan, PFGBest.com senior analyst, says the market had both long liquidation and some buying, ahead of the Thursday USDA Crop Report.
"The action ahead of a crop report is the fear of the minds that have the profit. They don't want to lose it. After last week's rallies, obviously the 'longs' in the market are fat with profit. They have the risk," Hannagan says. So, the profit-risk is losing the market."
Hannagan add, "Towards the close of the session, we saw 'the longs' buying some, pulling the markets towards the unchanged mark, and corn into positive territory. There are people that are willing to risk that Thursday's report could turn out to be bullish."
It's a profit-taking game, he says. "When you consider that the trend-following funds hold the profit, trading billions of dollar, realize that they don't know a bushel of wheat from a phone booth, and they don't care. They do understand seasonals and charts. So, you had to expect the funds to take some of the fat out of the market.
In addition, most marketwatchers believe the worst news out of Russia is in the market. "So, long-term, there won't be any attempts to get long unless Russia's winter wheat crop can't get planted, due to extremely dry conditions. If in five weeks, there are reports of Russia only able to plant 30-40% of its winter wheat crop, you could put another $2.00 per bushel on the wheat market."
More price-pressure came from a sharp dollar rise and stock market decline, highlighting deflation, stirring a 'sell commodities' idea, one CME Group floor broker says. "It's a broad brush that is putting the markets down early. But, expect fear of the report to support markets last half of the session, particularly in corn, wheat."
On Wednesday, USDA reported 930,000 tons of corn sales on daily reporting. "This clearly shows that importers are moving to cover their supply needs," the floor broker says.
Meanwhile, there is fear growing that hot temps south of I-80 and too much rain in central Iowa are clipping soybean yields, he says. "Corn yields ideas are very mixed. Anecdotal surveys, in variety of locales, are suggesting variable crops. With Russia still dry for the next 10 days and worried about fall planting that will begin in the South next week…through October, plus Argentina remains dry, the corn market cannot afford U.S. trend yields."

"In 1876 Baron Ichizaemon Morimura IV formed a trading company called Morimura Kumi (Morimura Brothers) with offices in Tokyo, and a retail and wholesale office in New York for the export of traditional Japanese products such as chinaware, curios, paper lanterns and other gift items. Ichizaemon Morimura VI was a visionary and a supporter of a modernization of Japan. One thing he clearly saw was the business potential if the quality of Japanese art and skilled craft could be adapted to the needs and taste of the American consumer. A visit by Ichizaemon Morimura IV to the World Fair in Paris helped shape the idea of trying to manufacture a high quality, modern, western style dinnerware for export. On January 1, 1904 the Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd - the forerunner to the present Noritake Company - was formed. The factory was located near a source of good and plentiful raw materials in a community rich with skilled potters. The site was the small village of Noritake, near Nagoya, the center of Japan's ceramic production, on the main island of Honshu. The first Japanese registry for a Noritake back stamp is reported as 1908 for use in Japan. In 1910 the first china products from the new company could leave Japan for the U.S. The first reported U.S. registry for a Noritake back stamp for importing is 1911. With the 1st World War came the understanding of the need for industrialization. The company soon undertook the production of necessary machinery for the use in its potteries and could, by the early 1920's, introduce assembly line techniques allowing for mass production of high quality, yet affordable, dinnerware."

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Peyton Manning can't quit shouting about Nebraska's largest city.
The Denver Broncos quarterback used the word "Omaha" loudly and often during Sunday's NFL playoff win over the San Diego Chargers. Its meaning, if there is one, is known only to the Broncos.
It provided unexpected publicity for the city of 427,000, which is perhaps best known as the home of billionaire Warren Buffett. Omaha was a trending topic on Twitter during the game. By one count, Manning uttered "Omaha" 44 times.
Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce president and CEO David Brown says he wants to explore the possibility of hiring Manning to shoot a promotional ad for Omaha, though the quarterback's fee might be prohibitive.

In 1863 Abraham Lincoln proved himself master of a new frontier, not on the battlefields of the Civil War, but in his "high-tech" command center: the War Department Telegraph Office, America's first "Situation Room." The "Internet" of the 19th century, the telegraph gave Lincoln new powers to reshape leadership and wield personal control across distant battlefields. The results of Lincoln's pioneering experiment in electronic leadership led to the rebirth of America on the fields of Gettysburg, both in the battle that turned the tide of the Civil War, and in the words that recast the American ideal as a national creed: the Gettysburg Address. LINCOLN@GETTYSBURG explores one of the greatest turning points in American history: the rebirth of a nation and the dawn of the information age.
There are no upcoming episodes of this series scheduled on Alabama Public Television.

There is a lot of confusion and misconceptions about the entire divorce process. While everyone understands that a divorce ends a marriage, very few people understand the basic concepts that are in place when seeking a divorce. From a big picture point of view, in Atlanta, Georgia, a divorce really is as simple as making determinations involving four primary areas. These areas, along with links to further information about each area, are listed below.
- Equitable division of property – This part of the divorce process focuses on trying to obtain a fair division of marital assets between the parties. Several key items that are considered as part of this process are what marital property is and how it should be divided.
- Child custody and visitation – This item obviously decides who should have custody of any minor children and what the visitation time should be for the non-custodial parent. Less obvious, this section also involves how decisions regarding a child's health, education, extra-curricular, and religious decisions are made.
- Child support – Child support is the legally required amount of money the non-custodial parent must pay to the custodial parent to help with their child(ren)'s financial needs.
- Alimony – Alimony is the amount of money that one parent must pay to the other parent to financially help that parent with their transition at the end of the marriage. There are several forms of alimony that exist and the amount and length of alimony is usually dependent upon the basic concept of needs of one party versus the ability of the other party to pay.
Each of these four concepts can be fairly complex, in and of themselves, which is why it is recommended that the parties seek the advice of an experienced divorce attorney, like those at Meriwether & Tharp, LLC, to help guide them through these decisions and present them with as many options as possible for trying to find mutually agreeable ways of handling these complicated and life altering decisions.
Procedurally, a divorce starts with the filing of a complaint which is then served upon the other spouse. The spouse that was served with the notice of the divorce has thirty (30) days to a response. Once the answer is filed, the parties begin what is generally known as the discovery period where each party has the ability to ask written and oral questions to the other spouse (as well as third parties) about information related to the divorce action. Also, the discovery period allows each spouse to request to see various documents that are in the possession of the other spouse or third parties.
At the conclusion of the discovery process, the Court hears various motions filed by the parties and schedules the case for a final trial (with or without a jury). Once the final trial occurs, the court (or jury as appropriate) then makes a final ruling addressing each of four major areas listed above. Of course, at any point along the way, the parties are free to try and decide any or all of the issues themselves, without being told by a judge or jury how they should handle their lives, and there are various alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in place, such as mediation and arbitration, to help the parties amicably resolve their differences.
You can rely on Meriwether & Tharp to guide you through difficult divorce and family law situations. To speak to a member of our team, you can call our office or e-mail us to schedule an appointment to meet with someone on our family law team.

Cranberry-Coconut Chocolate CookiesBy Jennifer McHenry on April 8, 2013Baking ideas mostly come from all the places you'd think – a dessert in a restaurant or bakery, an idea about a unique ingredient, a desire to reproduce a favorite childhood flavor.

Rainier's police chief shot and killed during struggle
RAINIER, Ore. – Rainier's chief of police was shot and killed Wednesday during a struggle with a man in Rainier, a small Oregon town along the Columbia River.
Ralph Painter, 55, was responding to a morning disturbance call at a car audio shop on Rock Crest Street. Painter got into a struggle with the suspect, 21-year-old Daniel Armaugh Butts of Kalama, Wash., at the Sound Authority just before 11 a.m. and was shot. Painter later died from a gunshot wound at a hospital in Longview.
Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson said Butts was reportedly taking a vehicle that did not belong to him.
After Painter was shot, Butts then retreated into a business as other officers descended on the scene and returned fire. Butts was wounded and taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland. He is under guard and is expected to survive.
Butts has no record of being violent but he has had quite a few run-ins with police.
Court and police records said he's been arrested in Washington for malicious mischief, driving under the influence, negligent driving, twice for reckless driving, driving with a suspended license and several speeding violations.
Butts' mother, Della Bartley of Rainier, said during a rambling, disjointed and often confusing interview, there was no excuse for her son's behavior.
"He came up a couple days ago higher than a kite on something, and he wasn't in his right mind two days ago," Bartley said. "I realize he shot a police officer, and bless the police officer's soul, but also bless my son, because he's a victim of this society of what this government has done to these children. We have the highest unemployment rate in the history of the United States. The Mafia has these children at their mercy and they're going to be shooting their own children because the government will not even lower their wages to feed people on welfare."
She said the only reason that her son would have to shoot a police officer was if he was trying to commit suicide by forcing police to shoot him.
A senior pastor at the nearby church says one of the bullets whizzed by him, just inches away. It was not immediately clear who fired the shot that missed the clergyman.
"[The officers] were converging on the stereo shop," the Rev. Jeff McCracken of Rainier Assemblies of God told KATU Anchor Brian Wood late Wednesday morning. "...Rounds started firing. One [bullet] came through the window I was looking through, about six inches above my head."
He also said that officers were carrying assault rifles during the incident.
Dickerson said the fatal shooting would "have a large impact" on the surrounding community. "It's a small town, everyone knows who their police officers are here."
Painter had been with the Rainier Police Department since 1999. He was a former DARE officer and Rainier Councilman. He graduated from St. Helens High School in1974 and attended Clackamas County Community College.
Butts was reportedly wearing a non-issued Cowlitz County Fire District No. 5 sweatshirt at the time of the shooting. However, the Cowlitz County Fire District No. 5 in Kalama says Butts "has never been associated with or had dealings with Cowlitz County Fire District No. 5."
Painter was married and had six adult children, ages 29 to 38, from a previous marriage. A woman who works nearby said he also has a 7-year-old son from his current marriage.
Dickerson said he personally knew Painter. "We rely on each other, we back each other up," Dickerson said. "We don't have a lot of resources, so we team up." He said Rainier has "less than six" police officers.
He said that numerous officers from several nearby bureaus, including from Washington, raced to the scene when a report of an officer down was sent out.
Roughly 25 officers from Rainier, the Washington city of Longview and other agencies were eventually involved at the scene.
According to a website that tracks the deaths of police officers, Rainier has never had a fatal incident in the past involving a law enforcement officer.

Press release from Columbia County Sheriff's Office
A reported disturbance at a Rainier car audio shop turned deadly this morning when the responding officer got into a struggle with a suspect, and was killed by gunshot.
The officer responded to the disturbance at 75938 Rockcrest Street in Rainier, the location for Rainier Sound Authority. The officer made contact with the suspect at the store and a struggle ensued. The officer was wounded with a gunshot and later was pronounced dead.
Police agencies from Every Columbia County law enforcement agency responded, as did officers and deputies from the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office, Longview Police Department and the Washington State Patrol.
Additional gunshots were fired and the suspect was wounded and taken into custody. The suspect was taken to a local hospital under guard and has not been arrested at this time.

Classic rice pudding made slow cooker easy!
The sweetened condensed milk caramelizes during the long, slow cooking to give this rice pudding a pleasant caramel flavor and rich beige color. The evaporated milk and condensed milk also make a smooth, creamy pudding because they don't break down and separate like fresh milk would during the long cooking time.
This all-time favorite comfort food lends itself to a little flavor variety. Try chopped dried apricots, sweetened dried cherries or dried cranberries in place of the raisins.
