Priefert Fully Automatic Roping Chute RC98AI$3,385.97
Endorsements by numerous World Champion ropers have helped make Priefert's Fully Automatic Roping Chute one of the most popular pieces of equipment in arenas across the country. It's not just the pros that use Priefert. Everyone knows that it is important to "Practice like you Compete," with a Priefert chute. Priefert's Fully Automatic Roping Chute takes efficiency to a whole new level by incorporating a Laser-Eye and remote control action.
This remote-controlled chute is ideal for the practice arena because it virtually eliminates the need for extra chute help. The roper pushes a single button on the remote to release the steer/calf. When the chute is empty, the laser eye activates the closing of the front gate. After this gate is closed, the split tailgate opens automatically to allow the next steer/calf to enter the chute. Once the animal has entered, the laser eye detects that the chute is loaded and it closes the tailgate. This lets the roper to return to the box with a steer/calf loaded and ready for the next run. This Fully Automatic Chute allows the roper to spend more time roping, and less time reloading the chute. As an added feature, a dial on the chute's control box gives ropers the ability to delay the opening of the front release gate, allowing the roper time to get ready for the run after pushing the release button. The timing of this delay can be set from approximately 3 to 30 seconds. Priefert's Fully Automatic Chute can also be set to function in semi-automatic mode, with each function of the chute corresponding to a different button on the remote. The remote control unit is compact and easily fits in a pocket or in the optional belt clip-holder.
The Priefert name has become synonymous with today's roping industry. Priefert Roping Chutes and accessories are the number one choice of professional ropers and top organizations. The innovation behind every Priefert Roping Chute combined with their legendary durability, has changed the look and feel of the growing roping industry. Our chutes are the Official Chute of the PRCA, the National Finals Rodeo, the USTRC, the Priefert World Series of Team Roping, the NTRL, the George Strait Team Roping Classic, the BFI, and many more major roping organizations and events, making Priefert the chute of choice when big money is on the line!

Alright, now to the standings!
Roushfenwayguy (ghost picks)- 139 (81) (+8) (The eliminated guy seems like the genius this week.)
1.) Floridawhite- 120 (51) (+8)
3.) Bradman- 107 (53) (+5)
4.) Fsu1dogs- 86 (46) (+3)
Well, since I am not really included, there is only 13 points seperating the top 3 right now, so it is still anyones game... although these are pretty dissapointing scores so far if the leader is averaging 56 points without bonuses. Of course, our mini chase only has 3 more races, which is still more than half, so even FSU can catch up, but he needs to avoid the bad side of the doghouse to stay alive.
+2 Handicap: 13th-20th
Kyle Busch
Brian Vickers (new to handicap list, avg. finish puts him at 14th)
Mark Martin (new to handicap list, avg. finish puts him at 15th)

+8 handicap: Anyone Below 35th
Bonus is guessing how many drivers that are in the chase finish this race in the top 12. The margin will be very slim.
+5 for the exact answer, +3 for 1 off, +1 for 2-3 off, no more if you are beyond that.
(Drivers crossed out indicate drivers you can no longer use.)
(AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PICKS, drivers will be named that one person or nobody can use, so make sure to check the bottom as well as next to your name to know who you can't pick.)
Roushfenwayguy (GHOST PICKS)- Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer
Fsu1dogs- Mark Martin, Ryan Newman
Floridawhite- Kasey Kahne, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon
ILL55INI- Clint Bowyer. Jeff Gordon

VU professor elected to Acadia board
Acadia Healthcare said Thursday morning it has added Vanderbilt professor William Petrie to its board of directors.
Petrie, who becomes the third independent director on what is now Acadia's 12-member board, is professor of clinical psychiatry at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, where he has served for more than 20 years. He is also director of the Vanderbilt Senior Assessment Clinic. In the past, he has been president and co-director of research at Psychiatric Consultants and chairman of the department of psychiatry at Centennial Medical Center.
"Bill Petrie is a highly accomplished physician with an outstanding reputation for his work in advancing the practice of psychiatry," said Joey Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Acadia. "We expect Bill to bring an invaluable perspective to Acadia's Board because of his in-depth experience in the research and academic aspects of psychiatry, combined with his long history as a practicing physician caring for inpatient psychiatric patients."
From September 2004 until November 2010, Petrie was a director of Psychiatric Solutions, the company run by Jacobs and other top Acadia execs until it was bought by Universal Health Services.
At almost 11 a.m., shares of Acadia (Ticker: ACHC) were down more than 2 percent to about $20.10. Year to date, they have more than doubled.

Investigators say DNA evidence has led a convicted sex offender to be accused of a 1994 North Texas slaying.
Baylor County Sheriff Bob Elliott said Wednesday that 50-year-old Jack Wesley Melton of Paris, Texas, was arrested May 9 for parole violation.
Elliott says routine DNA tests linked Melton to the October 1994 shooting of 69-year-old Florence Kate Martin at her home near Mabelle. Elliott says Martin apparently was a random victim.
The Wichita Falls Times Record News reports Melton in 1988 was sentenced to 30 years for burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony. He was paroled in 1991. Details on his sex offender record weren't immediately available.
Bond has been set at $500,000 for Melton. His attorney did not immediately return a message Wednesday.

PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) - Sheriff's officials say an 18-year-old Nye County woman has been charged with murder in the death of her 2-month-old daughter.
Bianca Razo-Pina and 24-year-old Efren Chavez were arrested Tuesday on child neglect charges. Both were being held at the Nye County Detention Center on Thursday. Razo-Pina was being held without bail on the murder charge.
The Nye County sheriff's office says Razo-Pina and Chavez took their daughter to a Pahrump hospital in full cardiac arrest on Monday. The girl was flown to a Las Vegas hospital, where she died on Wednesday.
The sheriff's office says an investigation found the baby had suffered extensive brain injuries and had bruises all over her body.
Pahrump is about 60 miles west of Las Vegas. A call from The Associated Press to the Nye County sheriff's office wasn't immediately returned Friday.

75 administrators on campus when the enrollment topped 15K a few years ago. 125 (ok, 126) administrators now when enrollment is at it's lowest.
I'm sure the 6 support staff folks who lost their jobs last week will put a huge dent in the deficit. I'm thinking their combined salaries probably just made up for the new "guru's" salary.
YSU has to decide what kind of university it wishes to be. If you are going to stop accepting EVERYONE then enrollment is going to drop (shocking concept, I know), but those that do come in will be more prepared and actually increase the graduation rates.
October 10, 2013 at 10 a.m. permalinksuggest removal
I'd like to see the list of administrative positions "created" in the past 3 years-maybe the cuts need to start there. There were some pretty quick placements on campus between Feb-June of this year.
YSU PD are state certified police officers like any other city. They also are a student's first call if needed. As a student, I was in a hit and run accident at night about a mile from campus on the north side - I called YPD and waited for 20 minutes before I called again and waited another 10. I called YSUPD and told them I was a student (and a little freaked out because it was night) and they were there in 3 minutes - YPD never came.
PS: Astronomy is a lab science - one of the required General Ed Requirements....and last I checked an Astronomy class wasn't a fast track to NASA. Cutting class offerings is no way to make money.
September 27, 2013 at 12:31 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
There were 75 administrators on campus when the university was at top enrollment at almost 16,000. Just a few years later when we are in an enrollment "decline" - there are 125 administrators on campus. Why do we never start at the top? And yes, the search for a new position of Enrollment Manager is still on.
I have to say I put the blame on the previous administration for letting this get out of hand and continuing to place "friends" in positions before she retired. And no word as to how Athletics will be affected - my guess is they will not.

High Intensity Source of 20‐keV Hydrogen Atoms34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718664View Description Hide Description
A continuous source of energetic hydrogen atoms has been developed for use in a plasma experiment. The mechanical design and some operating characteristics of the ion source are described, as well as the beam focusing and neutralizing system. An output of 65‐mA power equivalent of 20‐keV hydrogen atoms has been measured on a 2.0×6.3 cm target located 350 cm from the ion source.
Use of an Analog‐to‐Digital Converter in Pulsed Nuclear Resonance34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718665View Description Hide Description
The use, in pulsed nuclear resonance experiments, of a voltage‐to‐frequency converter and an electronic counter to act as an integrator for the observed signals is described. Because measurements of this type are free of most subjective influences, they improve upon continued replication. Data are obtainable in a form which may easily be processed by a digital computer. Increased accuracy and sensitivity are the result. Sample T 1 determinations are presented. The relaxation in a sample showing a single T 1 is followed to within one part in 104 of equilibrium. Remarks are made concerning the design and use of a calibration equation capable of accounting for the behavior of a vacuum tube diode detector biased for linear operation.
Simple Transistorized Logarithmic Time Base34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718666View Description Hide Description
A time base is described which allows the spot of a cathode ray tube to be deflected at a rate proportional to the logarithm of the time. The circuit requires the use of two transistors, one of which serves as a conversion stage and the other as an amplifier stage. Two different sets of component values are given to cover a range of either two or three decades. The performance of the time base and its limitations in respect to temperature variations and supply voltage fluctuations are discussed.
Device for the Measurement of Friction at Ultrahigh Vacuum34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718667View Description Hide Description
A frictionmeasurement device has been developed which permits continuous measurement of static and kinetic coefficient of friction at ultrahigh vacuum. Sliding motion inside the vacuum chamber is accomplished by using a disk rotated by a zero‐leakage, direct‐drive rotary seal. The coefficient of friction is measured using a strain‐gauge system which is compatible with the ultrahigh vacuum test environment. An example of the type of results obtained with the device is given. The apparatus has been continuously operated at pressures in the 10−10 Torr region.
Photodiode as a Sensitive Temperature Probe34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718668View Description Hide Description
A temperature probe capable of reading temperature deviations of ±0.005°F or less at ambient temperatures has been developed using the large temperature coefficient of the reverse current of a Sylvania 1N77B photodiode. The photodiode case, a 0.072‐in.‐diam×0.80‐in.‐long glass cylinder, makes possible a small but very rugged probe assembly.
Liquid‐Helium Temperature Regulator34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718669View Description Hide Description
An electronic regulator is described that is capable of controlling the temperature of a liquid‐helium bath within ±10 μdeg for a few minutes and reducing long‐term drift to less than 40 μdeg/h. With occasional adjustment, the temperature can be indefinitely maintained within ±10 μdeg. The circuit is designed to be used with a resistance thermometer bridge previously described. The error signal from the bridge is displayed on a meter, so that the bridge can be balanced without use of an oscilloscope and the performance of the regulator can be continuously monitored.
Two‐Component Microbalance for Measuring the Forces on Ion‐Bombarded Surfaces34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718670View Description Hide Description
A two‐component null‐type microbalance has been developed to measure forces due to ion bombardment on a surface. The balance employs the principle of the attracted disk electrometer. The sensitivity can be adjusted by simply changing the location of the center of gravity. Measurements of a few micrograms of force in two perpendicular directions can be made simultaneously.
Optical Cells for the Observation of Raman Scattering in Gases at Medium Pressures34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718671View Description Hide Description
Recent investigations of the broadening and shift of isotropic Raman lines of compressed hydrogen have demonstrated the effects of intermolecular forces on intramolecular motions. This paper describes two cells suitable for such experiments in the low to medium density range. The first is a cell for use at 85°K and 100 atm, which is similar in design to a conventional Raman source. The second cell, for use at room temperature and at pressures up to 1000 atm, utilizes the large compressive strength of glass and is an improved version of a cell reported previously. High resolution Raman spectra of the Q 1 branch of hydrogen have been obtained in the range 25 to 400 times standard density both at liquid air and room temperature.
Electrodeless Determination of Electrical Conductivities of Melts at Elevated Temperatures34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718672View Description Hide Description
An electrodeless method for measuring the electrical conductivities of metallic and semiconductor melts at elevated temperatures is described. The transformer ``eddycurrent'' method, which was capable of measuring conductivities from one to greater than 10 000 (Ω‐cm)−1, was used. The system was calibrated with Hg at 25°C and tested with Hg to 300°C and Bi to 550°C. The specific conductivities of various compositions of Bi–BiI3 solutions were measured at 500°C and compared with those measured by an electrode method. The accuracy of the method decreased with decreasing conductivity.
Photomultiplier Gain Stabilization Circuit34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718673View Description Hide Description
A simple method is described for the gain stabilization of a photomultiplier in which the stabilization system does not interfere with the fast pulse spectrum to be measured. The functioning principle consists in sending a low frequency (77 Hz) and very low intensity light pulse, which gives a modulation of the photomultiplier thermionic noise, on the photocathode together with the scintillation light. The modulation frequency is then selected on the anode by a special filter. The signal obtained in this way is used to trigger a feedback circuit, which makes the photomultiplier gain constant by suitably varying its voltage.
Nanosecond Scintillation Coincidence Spectrometer System with High Reliability34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718642View Description Hide Description
A low‐energy scintillation coincidence system capable of few‐nanosecond resolution and very low timing jitter is described. Saturating circuit techniques are used to make the performance nearly independent of tube parameters, resulting in stable and reliable performance over periods of months.
New Instrument for Measuring Evaporation; Application to Evaporation of Water through Thin Films34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718643View Description Hide Description
A new instrument quickly and accurately determines evaporation rates of water. A probe passes helium over a small area of the water surface; the vapor picked up by the helium returns through the probe and is continuously measured by a thermal conductivity cell. Accuracy and repeatability are within 1% absolute. The apparatus is sensitive to a change in evaporation rate of less than 1%; response is 5 to 20 sec, depending upon the magnitude of the step change. The instrument, called an evaporometer, is especially useful for rapidly screening water‐evaporation retardants and for determining evaporation rates through monomolecular films spread on the water surface of the film balance. Evaporation rate vs film pressure isotherms, determined simultaneously with pressure vs area isotherms, should yield additional information about the composition and structure of the monolayers. Although the evaporometer was developed for the determination of water evaporation, it is adaptable to nonaqueous liquids.
Sensitive Tritium Counting with a Propane Proportional Counting System34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718644View Description Hide Description
Comparison of the minimum detectable amount of tritium by different counting devices shows that proportional gas counting is the most sensitive method at the present time. A new method of tritium proportional gas counting using propane as counting gas is described. The propane is formed by hydrogenation of propyne with palladium oxide as a catalyst. Using a 2.5‐liter counter filled with propane at 2.2 atm pressure requires a sample size of half a mole of H2O or H2. For a background of 5.3 cpm, this results in a minimum detectable concentration, without isotopic enrichment of tritium, of 3 TU equal to ±2σ for a counting time of 1000 min.
Radio‐Frequency Excited Plasma Tunnel for Laboratory Studies of Supersonic Plasma Flow Fields34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718645View Description Hide Description
A description is given of a supersonic, low density plasma tunnel employing rf excitation of the gas stream. The facility, which has been designed to be of laboratory proportions, provides clean, supersonic plasma streams at velocities up to about Mach 2. The static stream pressures available are in the range from about 0.1 to 10 Torr and jets up to 2 or 3 cm in diameter are produced. A discussion of the important design features is given and the application of this facility to several studies of supersonic plasma flow fields is described.
Retractable Low Temperature Targets for High Energy Physics Experiments34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718646View Description Hide Description
A system is described which allows as many as five different low temperature targets to be positioned vertically inside a vacuum system. The targets normally contain liquid hydrogen or deuterium. The vertical travel is obtained by using a bellows system in such a way that the over‐all external height of the system is constant. A maximum travel of 4 in. can be obtained.
Particle Size Classifier for the Subsieve Range34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718647View Description Hide Description
A particle size classifier for dry powders in aerosol form, based on the combined classifying mechanisms of impaction,adhesion, and the characteristic trajectories of particles, has been developed and extensively tested with a variety of powders. Continuous classification has been achieved for powders the diameters of which are predominantly below 50 μ by impacting the aerosol cloud onto a moving surface and recovering those fractions resulting from the aforementioned mechanisms. Partial separation of powder mixtures is sometimes possible when the components have widely differing physical properties.
Electronic Variable Delay for Tracing Characteristic Curves of Coincidence Circuits and Time‐to‐Height Converters34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718648View Description Hide Description
Automatic tracing of characteristic curves of coincidence circuits and time‐to‐height converters has been accomplished by utilizing a tunnel diode circuit, which provides an electrically controlled time delay continuously varying from 30 to 65 nsec. An input pulse starts a current ramp through the tunnel diode, which generates an output pulse on triggering. The moment of triggering, however, is programmed by a control voltage which dictates the instantaneous value of the initial current flowing through the tunnel diode.Measurements of the delay vs control voltage relationship show no deviation from linearity greater than the experimental error of ±15 psec. Time jitter, characterized by the full width at half‐maximum of the output‐pulse time distribution, is less than 30 psec. A coincidence resolution curve displayed on the screen of an oscilloscope and a height‐vs‐time curve of a time‐to‐height converter traced by an X‐Y recorder are shown.
Absolute Differential Radiometer34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718649View Description Hide Description
A radiometer is described which is calibrated on an absolute basis from its geometric and physical parameters. An estimated 3% accuracy is achieved using common handbook values for the physical parameters. Experiment confirms the calibration, including predicted dependence of sensitivity on temperature. The instrument gives integrated response to diffuse thermal radiation exchanged between surfaces at normal room temperature. When used with a commercial microvoltmeter, the present device measures net heat fluxes ranging from 0.1 to 100 Btu/h‐ft2. It responds quickly to changes in incident flux and reaches equilibrium within about 1 min. It is sufficiently rugged and stable for practical field work and is suggested as a tool for research and teaching.
Interaction of Fission Fragments with Organic Scintillators34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718650View Description Hide Description
A pulse‐shape discriminator circuit was used for the measurement of the pulse heights of the slow components of light pulses from organic scintillators excited by different types of particles: electrons, protons,alpha particles, and fission fragments. Three types of organic scintillators were employed: a crystal (stilbene), a liquid (7 g PPO and 0.5 g M2‐POPOP in 1 liter of toluene), and a plastic (NE‐150). The relationship of the pulse heights of the slow components for excitation with electrons, protons, and alpha particles was similar for all three scintillators. However, fission fragments produced a slow component pulse height similar to protons in stilbene and the plastic but more like electrons in the liquid. The pulse‐height distributions of total light pulses from the scintillators excited by the alpha and spontaneous fission emissions of Cf252 were measured. The alpha‐particle and fission‐event spectra were resolved only with the liquid scintillator giving a pulse‐height spread of the fission distribution peak of 40%. From the maximum of the fission sepctra it was calculated that the most probable energy of fission produced the same pulse height as an electron with 1/75th that energy would produce. The alpha particles and the fission events were counted with 100% efficiency and a value of 31.0±0.5 was obtained for the alpha to fission disintegration ratio of Cf252.
Pressure Measurements Below 10−10 Torr with Bayard‐Alpert and Magnetron Gauges34(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1718651View Description Hide Description
Below 1×10−10 Torr, pressure measurement by means of Bayard‐Alpert type ion gauges is complicated by the existence of a current associated with soft ``x‐rays.'' The precise measurement of a true ion current requires precise determination of the so‐called x‐ray limit of each gauge. The present work describes the use of a Bayard‐Alpert gauge containing a modulating electrode (after the design of Redhead) to measure pressures below 10−10 Torr. Magnetron‐type gauges, which do not have x‐ray limitations, were then compared directly with the Bayard‐Alpert gauges. In addition, gauge comparisons were carried out in a dynamic system involving pressure ratios across a capillary. Both series of experiments showed that the output current of the magnetron gauge was a power function (exponent 1.6) below approximately 2×10−10 Torr (N2). In the latter work it was possible to make measurements to below 1×10−12 Torr N2 equivalent.

Former Asian champions Japan will tune up for the FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers by playing Chile and Belgium in the three-nation Kirin Cup football tournament this week.
In the Asian final qualifying round Group A, Australia lead the table with four wins and a draw for 13 points, followed by Japan on 11 points and Bahrain on seven points. Uzbekistan and Qatar each have four points. The top two teams will qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, while the third-placed team will have to survive play-offs. One more win for Japan will secure qualification.
"It is natural to think we are just one step away from the World Cup, but I've seen so many times that the tables can turn before winning. We haven't got anything yet," said Japan coach Takeshi Okada.
"We plan to gain our top form through these two games. We are just determined to do our best to beat Uzbekistan in our next game and concentrate on that," he added.
Japan will play Chile in Osaka on Wednesday and Belgium in Tokyo on Sunday in the Kirin Cup before playing Uzbekistan away on 6 June, Qatar at home on 10 June and Australia away on 17 June. Chile and Belgium will play each other in Ichihara, near Tokyo, on Friday, vying for the winners' prize of $100,000. The runners-up will receive $50,000 and the third place team will get $10,000.
"I really wanted to have a game against Chile again since we played them last year," said Okada, referring to the 0-0 draw the teams played out in his first game after taking over when Bosnian tactician Ivica Osim suffered a stroke in late 2007. "I was surprised, because they put pressure on us very well. They will be very helpful for us to improve our game."
Belgium always play solidly, he added, and would be a useful reference point ahead of the qualifiers. Seven-time FIFA World Cup participants Chile have 20 points and are in third place in their group. They trail Paraguay by four points and Brazil by one point, well within an automatic qualification of the top four in the South American round.
Belgium, who have played 11 FIFA World Cups, are fourth in their group on seven points behind powerhouse Spain on 18 points, Bosnia and Herzegovina on 12 points and Turkey on eight points.

Hugo Barra, the former Googler who moved to Chinese phone-maker Xiaomi, has just teased Xiaomi's launch in a whole new area – Latin America. In a message posted to G+, Barra says he visited Foxconn's base in mainland China. He wrote:
Thank you Terry Gou and the Foxconn team for hosting us in Shenzhen today! A solid step towards having Xiaomi even closer to Latin America.
That's all the details so far, but it's clearly a deliberate pointer to Xiaomi – which so far is selling phones in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore – expanding to a number of countries in South America. The use of "Latin America" would presumably also include Mexico and Central American countries. Barra – who was born in Brazil – also posted this photo of himself shaking hands with Terry Gou, Foxconn's founder:
Foxconn (LSE:HHPD; HKEX:2038; TPE:2354), which assembles products for numerous major gadget brands, has plants in Brazil and Mexico. Either of those could be the basis for Xiaomi phone sales in the region. Foxconn already assembles some Xiaomi products in China.
Last month, Barra was in Singapore for the phone-maker's launch in that country. He indicated that Xiaomi was looking at emerging markets in Asia for expansion, such as India and Indonesia, rather than tougher, developed markets like Europe and the US. Brazil and a handful of other Latin American countries, like Argentina and Mexico, look like a similarly good fit for its gradual growth strategy.

U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack believes proposed funding cuts in ag spending would thwart progress by at least $2 billion.
With economic recovery a high-interest topic, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack believes proposed funding cuts in ag spending would thwart progress by at least $2 billion.
Vilsack spoke to The Times-Reporter by telephone Wednesday as part of his outreach to media in rural America.
He is concerned about the 2013 House of Representatives Agriculture Appropriations Committee proposal, which establishes funding for all agriculture-related programs. It is separate from the Farm Bill, which begins the long process toward legislation today in the Senate. No version of a Farm Bill has yet been introduced in the House.
Vilsack said it's crucial to pass the legislation this year.
The former Iowa governor toured Ohio State University last September to highlight agricultural research in the state. He
toured the 18th Congressional District as part of an Obama Administration Rural Tour in 2009, joined by then-U.S. Rep. Zack Space, D-Dover.
"Rural America is continuing to see strong farm income after setting records in 2011," Vilsack said. "We're also seeing a decline in unemployment in rural areas. One of the keys is agriculture being so productive. We've seen record amounts of export activity and growth in the bio-based economy and renewable energy.
"A big part of that has been investment in research. We have concerns about some restrictions and limitations proposed that we think will be damaging to efforts to maximize our research dollars. We wouldn't be as productive if it weren't for research into ways to do more with less. We couldn't convert crops into fuel and energy without research. It's important to continue this momentum in rural Ohio and the nation by continuing to invest in research."
He said President Barack Obama's administration understands that need, and has proposed increased funding of $2.6 billion through the USDA for research.
"The president recognizes that studies have shown that every dollar invested in agricultural research generates a return on investment of over $20 in economic activity," Vilsack said.
Vilsack pointed out three major advances achieved through research.
"Obviously, we have better seed technology, which is a result of research through the USDA and the private sector," he said. "Seeds are more resistant to pests, disease and extreme weather. There's also increased productivity. Secondly, I think we're learning how to better utilize and conserve our water resources – which is a big issue in parts of America. Third, we've learned through research with feed about how to be more efficient in improving weight gain for livestock. Obviously, that makes it easier for producers to get their animals ready for market."
The House agricultural appropriations bill now in committee proposes cutting the president's request by nearly $99 million.
Page 2 of 2 - "That translates to $2 billion less in generated return on investment," Vilsack said. "Research is the key to the progress we've seen. We don't want to take a step backward. That would be very unfortunate."
In addition to limiting the long-term results from potential research advancements, cuts would impact Ohio, which has benefited from USDA funding at Ohio State University and its Agriculture Technical Institute in Wooster. Both locations attract students from the Tuscarawas County region every year.
"Ohio State is doing some fabulous work in the bio-based economy, including horticulture and the turf industry," Vilsack said. "They're also researching small- and medium-sized farms, and how to better understand ways that they can expand."
Vilsack said the House proposal would result in "serious limitations on what we fund and how we fund it. Given the record income, productivity gains and everything that's going on rural areas, obviously our approach is working. This administration's research priorities have been on agricultural productivity, energy production, food safety and nutrition. These are all extremely important issues. Some Republican Legislators want to put restrictions on us, which would return us to the days of earmarks for projects. That seems inconsistent with their talk of banning earmarks."
Vilsack was asked what he considers to be the top goals to accomplish as the Farm Bill develops.
"We want to make sure that we have in place a safety net to ensure that farmers are protected when prices drop precipitously, or there is a natural disaster," he said. "We also must support new market expansion, whether it's through increased exports, local and regional food systems, or use part of agricultural products to produce something else, such as alternative fuels. Third, we must continue to support conservation and to protect the soil and water quality."
That's welcome news to Tuscarawas County Farm Bureau President Steve Quillin.
The Stone Creek area dairy farmer said that the national organization is "concentrating on pushing for securing farm insurance, at least for the opportunity to insure crops against big disasters. Those can wipe you completely. The insurance program has been changed and under attack for the past few years. Drought, flood and catastrophic insurance protects crops at up to 90 percent of their value, depending on what the farmer chooses to pay in premiums. A lot of times, farmers have to get a loan to cover their planting and related costs. Without the opportunity to get a safety net through insurance, you could face going out of business after a disaster."
From 2009-2001, USDA's crop insurance program paid out about $220 million in crop insurance indemnities to more than 10,837 Ohio farmers who lost crops due to natural disasters.

Re: why is my startup disk & hard drive full? in response to CAPT G
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

The Isopod Phone Case: For When You Want to Freak Out Everybody

Beyond being horrifying, these would take up a lot of room in your purse. Forget putting them in your pocket. »
Isopods – the segmented, ancient-looking order of crustaceans to which pill bugs belong – are popular in Japan; and so it was with much fanfare that, in 2007, the country's Toba Aquarium welcomed a giant, foot-long isopod to its ranks. But one day in 2009, the isopod, for reasons unknown, decided to stage one of the… »
Barry Levinson's found footage horror movie The Bay uses every single camera we can think of to deliver the chills. From phone cameras to security cameras to underwater cameras, all of the various shaky shots come together to teach us that if we don't take care of this planet, mutant parasites will strip our bodies… »
Check out the first trailer for Barry Levinson's found-footage horror movie The Bay. In which bugs take over a sleepy little beach town by eating the residents organs, tongues and eventually taking control of their brains. Mind-controlling parasites demand that you open the sugar jar! »
Isopods are crustaceans (like lobsters). Some isopods are parasitic (like the one staring back at you in the picture up top). If you're having trouble making out what, exactly, this isopod has parasitized, the answer is: a fish. This little monster wriggled its way in through the gills of its host, implanted itself… »

Stanford talent tops the Pac-10
Jerry Meyer
Rivals.com Basketball Recruiting
Points from the perimeter
A high percentage of the ranked prospects entering the Pac-10 are high-scoring perimeter players. The highest-ranked perimeter player is Arizona State's Keala King, a versatile playmaker on both ends of the court who is an exception to that "rule." But six of the seven four-star prospects headed to the Pac-10 are offense-minded perimeter players, and two of the three ranked three-star prospects are offense-minded perimeter players as well.
Five-star breakdown
The three highest-ranked prospects entering the Pac-10 next year are Josh Smith (No. 23), Dwight Powell (No. 25) and Keala King (No. 26). Smith is a huge inside presence at 6 feet 10 and 270 pounds. He has good feet and soft hands, and the key to his college success will be determined by his conditioning and intensity. Powell is an athletic 6-9, 215-pound power forward whose stock is on the rise. He had a strong summer on the travel circuit, and his upside is quite intriguing. At 6-5 and 200 pounds, King is a do-everything guard. The lefty is a great open-court passer and a strong defender and rebounder; he also is a crafty scorer around the rim.

In reference to "Teachers will get 2% pay raises annually" (Sept. 11), important details appear to have been omitted. As cited in the article, in addition to annual pay increases of 2 percent, it was reported that the teachers and nurses in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district will receive "... more money toward health care premiums and employee retirement plans."
Based on the fact that 97 percent of the "strong turnout" voted in favor of the new contract, it would be interesting to know exactly how much more money will be paid to the teachers and nurses for their health care premiums and retirement accounts. When it comes to compensation, health care premiums and pension contributions are not a minor detail.

caverject for injection
what.s the diff. between bacteriostatic water and sterile water?
- Posted:
- 15 Aug 2009 by surfcookie2002
- Topics:
- caverject, sterile water
Answers (1)
18 Aug 2009
From http://www.drugs.com/pro/bacteriostatic-water-for-injection.html
"Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. "
ie. Bacteriostatic water is sterile water which contains a bacteriostatic preservative
From http://www.drugs.com/pro/sterile-water-for-injection.html
Sterile Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water for injection, which contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer.
(Nonpyrogenic - will not cause fever)
Sterile water and Bacteriostatic Water are made in special laboratories and are often used as a diluent for injections.
is bacteriostatic water and sterile water the same and can i mix it with hcg
can sterile water be used in replacement of bacteriostatic water with the injection of hgh growth
If you are doing HCG injections, bacteriostatic water is recommended as plain sterile water will not keep the solution viable long enough to complete the treatment. Bacteriostatic has a preservative in it to keep the HCG injection fresh.
If someone uses HCG sublingually, do they still need bacteriostatic water or will any water do?

How I Met Your Mother: The Final Season

Re: How I Met Your Mother: The Final Season
I guess it's hard not to build up things at this point, so even though a few seasons ago, getting this much information in 30 minutes would have blown our minds, now it seems "too little, too late."
Despite that, what we did get was well done, though rushed. I wasn't a big fan of the plot device of the mother narrating and it always turning out to be her talking to someone, especially when it happened in Ted's Econ 3 class and she was telling all of that to a random person.
It was a nice way to touch upon those previous episodes and catch us up on the life of the Mother, though.

It's nice to see you all again. It really is. It is so good to be home.
My wife and I went to Paris a few weeks ago for our 20th Anniversary. Yes, Paris, France....a few people when I told them about the trip asked me if I meant Paris, France. Nooooo, I am taking my wife to Paris, Illinois for my 20th.
It was a wonderful trip. There are so many amazing sights in Paris. In six days, we went to museums, castles, cathedrals, restaurants, shops...you name it, we were there. My wife is a turbo traveler. We had to have walked over 70 miles. My quads and calves could have been photographed for a swimsuit calendar after the trip was over. It was theraputic getting away for a while, but it made me realize, it is nice to be home.
The food was great. However, after eating a pizza at El Gigalo by Notre Dame Cathedral, it made me realize, I needed a Cannova's Pizza bad, real bad. I didn't have cell phone or internet usage for 6 days. For those of you that know me, I almost needed therapy but it was nice to get away from it after a while, until I found a Starbucks and could use Free Wifi on the sixth day.
Macaroons, graffiti, seven dollar Coca-Colas, the beauty of the Eiffel Tower and priceless masterpieces will all be remembered for a long time. Paris is wonderful but it's always nice to be home.
The start of school. The opening of Cannova's. The boys' soccer seasons. Twitter. The start of The Green Bay Packers season. The end of the Chicago Cubs season. My friends.... are just a few reasons why it is nice to be home.
We will be going to Paris, Illinois for our 21st Anniversary.
Stay Positive Freeport!

A Competitive Theory of Employment Dynamics
The authors develop a model of search and unemployment in an economy consisting of a large number of spatially separated local competitive labor markets and aggregate uncertainty. If aggregate shocks are positively autocorrelated, the implied cyclical behavior of the aggregate variables match those of empirical studies: worker movement and job creation are procyclical while total unemployment, job destruction, and job reallocation are countercyclical.

Angry words continue to be exchanged between Turkish and Russian leaders following the shooting down of a Russian Sukhoi Su-24M jet on November 24 after it very briefly overflew Turkish airspace.
Lack of U.S. Military Intervention in Syria Blamed for Paris AttacksWritten by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
In an op-ed article published in the New York Times, Peter Wehner blamed the Paris attacks on a lack of U.S. military intervention in Syria.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit, held earlier this month in Manila, Philippines, reaffirmed its member-states' commitment to the proposed Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) through the implementation of regional "trade" schemes, specifically naming the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
New testimony from a rescued Russian pilot casts Turkey's version of events into doubt, but Russia is showing restraint.
Accusations and recriminations fly in the wake of Turkey's shooting down a Russian Sukhoi-24 after it allegedly violated Turkish airspace.
