Josephine County's fair is $200,000 in the hole -— and Curry County Fair Board members don't want to follow in its path, fair board manager Ron Crook said recently.
Lost revenue is affecting other areas also hard hit by the faltering economy; in California, 18 counties are cancelling their annual fairs due to lack of money, Crook said.
Josephine County eliminated its horse racing last summer, citing a $50,000 loss in racing revenue during its nine-day stretch in 2011 and another loss of $22,000 this summer. Insurance alone can run up to $20,000 a year.
This summer, Curry County Fair made money – and many kudos are due to Curry Fair Friends, the catering group that provides money to the grounds, Crook said.
As an aside, Crook noted the event in Josephine County took a hit in beer sales this summer, having only sold a third what it usually does – a loss of almost $60,000.
In Curry County, the fair reported having a record beer sales last summer.
The issue was addressed Dec. 6 because the Gold Beach-based fair is in the midst of prioritizing infrastructure repair and reconstruction projects as part of a master plan update. The last one was done in 1996.
Some fixes are as simple as replacing screens torn off windows in the last storm; others are as expensive as paving the livestock barn floor and addressing problems in the arena, built in the 1970s.
"It never met specs," Crook said, "and it was condemned for years."
The board agreed it needs to prioritize its projects and then determine if specialists such as architects and engineers are required before work can begin.
"It's a complicated pie, and there are a lot of pieces to that pie," Crook said. "But we've got to get moving. We've got to get off the fence, and we can't jump off the fence until we have all the information."
The board might also pursue outside funding, notably from the Ford Family Foundation. Crook said that foundation usually contributes 35 percent toward the cost of a project, and was considering helping the local fair to the tune of 45 percent.
Currently, the arena needs a new roof and has problems with drainage and doors. The floor in the livestock pavillion should be paved, and doors, gutters and drains throughout the grounds need to be replaced. The 4-H group would like to build dormitories and update its kitchen, bathroom and meeting rooms. And the fairgrounds needs a storage shed and shop, for everything from tractors to tables.
Fair Board member Lucie La Bonté suggested prioritizing the projects based on the economic benefits each brings in to fair coffers.
"We have to keep the fairgrounds open; that is our mission," she said. "Any grant (institution) will like that. They don't like to throw money around."
The county loaned the fair $50,000, but has agreed to forgive that loan if the money is spent on fairground repair, maintenance or capital improvement projects.
"All the work we do, the due diligence we do, and the manager who tracks those things really makes a difference," La Bonté said. "I really believe that."

Best Buy pre-selling Motorola Droid on October 29, no mail-in rebate
If you want to buy a Motorola Droid without waiting for that $100 mail-in rebate announced by Verizon, Best Buy is the place where you can do so.
The giant American retailer announced that it would pre-sell Verizon's Moto Droid starting October 29, offering a $100 instant saving instead of a mail-in rebate. This way, you can get the Droid for $199.99 right away (a 2-yr Verizon contract agreement is obviously required).
Of course, even if you pre-buy the Droid on October 29, you'll still have to wait until November 6 to have it.
In case you don't know yet, Motorola Droid is the world's first smartphone to run Android 2.0 (Eclair). Its features include a 3.7 inch WVGA multi-touch display, full QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, 5MP autofocus camera with flash, and an ARM Cortex A8 550 MHz processor.

Graduate Student Handbook
Networking is a skill that most people have to learn. Just going to conferences and standing in the corner isn't enough. You have to make a conscious effort to meet and build relationships with other researchers. This is not always easy, especially if you're shy or not normally outgoing, but the rewards of using this skill well are huge.
Generally, any public speaking pointers are useful. Practice handshaking, direct eye contact, and remembering peoples names. Then introduce yourself to people whose presentations or papers you found interesting so that you'll have something to begin with. Have summaries of your research of various lengths and technical detail mentally prepared so that you can answer the inevitable "What are you working on?" intelligently and clearly. Talk about your research every chance you get, but be sure to hone your listening skills as well. If someone is interested in your work, be sure to get their name and e-mail address, and make a note to follow up by sending papers or asking for feedback on ideas.
If you're having a hard time just introducing yourself, ask your advisor or a friend to introduce you. Sometimes just gritting your teeth and jumping in is the best way to get around the shyness block--polish up your smile and memorize your research description and just do it! Most people are all too happy to discuss their research with an interested person. Talking to people just before lunch can often get you invited along--go! There are usually other contacts along as well, and the informal setting could help you relax. Try to avoid butting in on other conversations or catching a speaker just before they are scheduled to go on.
Meeting people is only the first part; maintaining these relationships forms the network in question. E-mail people whom you've met and let them know you're still interested. Reestablish contact at each workshop or conference you attend. Reintroduce yourself and use their names and a reference to let them know you remembered them. Some people even have business cards made up with research interests and e-mail addresses on them to help jog others' memories. If the opportunity for a collaborative effort arises, seize it! This will expose you to other methods and other groups of people.
Additionally, you may be called on to speak with the media about a mission you are involved with, or about your really cool science. If so, the AGU has created a handy Media Guide in Adobe PDF format that may help you deal with the news media in a professional manner.

Gmür, R; Thurnheer, T (2002). Direct quantitative differentiation between Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens in clinical specimens. Microbiology, 148(5):1379-1387.
This paper describes a quantitative fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) assay for the differential identification of Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens in clinical samples, and compares its performance with less discriminatory culture and quantitative immunofluorescence (IF) assays. Fluorescence-labelled oligonucleotide probes directed to specific 16S rRNA sequences of P. intermedia, P. nigrescens, Prevotella pallens and Prevotella denticola were hybridized under stringent conditions with cultured reference strains or plaque samples from deep periodontal pockets. Probe specificity was defined with strains from multiple oral Prevotella species. The lower detection level of the assays was approximately 3x10(3) target cells per ml of plaque-sample suspension. P. intermedia, P. nigrescens, P. pallens and P. denticola were detected in plaques with prevalences of 69, 67, 0 and 28%, respectively. On average, 3.9 x 10(6) P. intermedia, 3.1 x 10(6) P. nigrescens and 5.6 x 10(5) P. denticola cells were counted per positive sample. All three species were found almost exclusively in dense mixed aggregates. Quantitative FISH data agreed satisfactorily with corresponding IF data (r=0.711). Both FISH and IF enumerations of the sum of P. intermedia and P. nigrescens markedly exceeded the c.f.u. counts of black-pigmented colonies in Porphyromonas gingivalis-free cultured subgingival plaques. The results demonstrate the validity of this new assay. Unlike established IF, culture, PCR or checkerboard DNA hybridization assays, this FISH assay differentiates quantitatively between P. intermedia and P. nigrescens, provides visual accuracy control, and offers insights into the spatial distribution of the target cells within a clinical sample.

Commando Officer Collapses, Dies
Deputy company commander in top IDF unit 'Maglan,' 22, complained of headache and collapsed.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 6/12/2011, 9:27 PM / Last Update: 6/12/2011, 9:21 PM
A deputy company commander in a top IDF unit collapsed and died Sunday at the Tel Nof Israel Air Force base. The officer, aged 22, served in the Maglan unit, which specializes in operations behind enemy lines.
The officer had come to the base for training but collapsed when he got out of his car, before the training session had begun. He had complained of a headache a short time before the collapse. He was not known to have any special medical problems.
Medics who arrived on the scene gave him first aid and evacuated him to Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot where unsuccessful attempts were made to stabilize his condition.
IDF sources were quoted as saying that the death is being investigated, and that it was most likely caused by an undiagnosed medical condition.

We've been rocking out to Rolling in the Deep for weeks now, and we have to say, the entirety of Adele's sophomore album, 21 ($10) is just as good as the hit single. Each track is full of soulful singing, rockin' music and some seriously great beats. We've been listening to it on repeat since it came out and it's going to be on heavy rotation for a long time.
This CD is truly amazing...I can't get over how good it is. Support her & buy it on iTunes!
this cd and even her music in general is AWESOME!!!!! her music helped me get over my heartbreaks. Thank you adele for writing the songs you have wrote.

This Parker Leather Wrap Bracelet ($48) is so classy, it should be driving a Lincoln Town Car. It probably comes with a country club membership. Grandma will want to borrow it. Cops will apologize for pulling us over when we wear it. With it, people will mistake us for aging-out-of-action-roles-but-still-beautiful Hollywood stars, and we will without doubt be allowed into all the stores on Rodeo Drive regardless of our checkered pasts.

Helloooo sunshines!!
The other day I stumbled upon something delicious.
Something sweet without sugar. Something with cinnamon and vanilla and raisins.
Something sinful.
And it tastes like cookie dough!
What could it be? My Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars, of course! And they could be made raw in a SNAP. They are already almost raw.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite kind of cookie, and when my mom suggested making something similar to a Larabar, I decided to make my favorite cookie flavor. It's healthy for you too, because there is no added sugar whatsoever in the dough.
Prepare to be dazzled!
You'll need:
10 pitted Medjool dates
1 c. raw cashews
¾ c. raisins
½ c. quick cook oatmeal (just sub raw oats here to make this recipe raw, or gluten free oats for a GF recipe!)
½ t. cinnamon
½ t. vanilla extract
1. In a food processor, pulse dates and ½ c. raisins until they turn into puree.
2. Add cashews and blend until both date mixture and cashews are combined, and cashews have been blended into little tiny pieces.
3. Add oatmeal, cinnamon, and vanilla and blend until combined.
4. Dump mixture into a bowl and mix in remaining ¼ c. raisins.
5. Dump mixture into a parchment lined square 8x8 pan and press firmly until mixture is flat and pressed together. Slice into six rectangles.
6. Place in refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
What is your favorite type of Larabar?
Much love,

Since many of the pics have already been put up, I won't bother. I agree that Beckinsale would probably make the better choice for Bastila. Seems a little closer in appearance and Bastila has a kind of Brit inflection to her voice. Perlman can project the right amount of gruffness for Ordo. B/c he looks a little closer to JB, I'd go with Sam. However, I think Morgan could probably project the reflective moroseness of JB a bit better. Besides, Jackson WAS a little stiff as Mace. If still alive, Frank Oz as Master Vandar (afterall, he's a yoda clone). Not really sure about Carth, Revan, Malak, Mission or Juhani (esp if you use that godawful cathar appearance). Since HK is a droid, go with the guy that voiced "him". Of corse Zalbaar could be just about any 7' actor in hollywood that needs work.

You already commented on everything I love in those photos - the ceiling in the kitchen, the island with a bench, and the great tile in the shower as well as the tray ceiling above the shower - all fantastic! This home feels extra cozy, like it would be perfect year round to cuddle up in and invite family over to, especially around the holidays! I love how it is definitely a custom, expensive home, but it feels very comfortable!
In love! I would love to be in a house like that on days like yesterday that are dreary and rainy.

Codex is a rumination on the idea that even though books have effectively been "flattened" in our digital age, we persist in expecting our screen-based reading experiences to imitate "traditional" books: by retaining page numbers, by simulating the turning of pages, et cetera.
Numerous artists throughout history have experimented with transitioning books from three-dimensional to two-dimensional and vice versa, and it continues to be a recurring motif in the most recent contemporary art.
Codex will be organized around myriad works -- a virtual library -- presented on a central wall. Some of the works take the known form of the artist's book; others venture further afield.
Codex was conceived by Pierre Leguillon, an artist and book collector, during his 2013 residency in San Francisco. The title is a reference to the earliest known bound books, which appeared between the 1st and 2nd century AD. Replacing the scroll, codexes made it possible to more intuitively hierarchize the content of a text and allowed more immediate access to a desired page.
Visit wattis.org for current information concerning related programs and events.
Codex is made possible through a collaboration with Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD – Genève), Switzerland, and generously supported by swissnex San Francisco. Codex has was originally presented at Live in Your Head, HEAD – Genève's curatorial institute.
Founding support for CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts programs has been provided by Phyllis C. Wattis and Judy & Bill Timken. Generous support provided by Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund and the CCA Wattis Institute Curator's Forum.

Last week Mayor Ralph Becker
and other Salt Lake City leaders hosted a launch event celebrating the recent re-activation of
Utah's Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). This is an exciting, business-friendly development for
the state. An FTZ gives a community the ability to defer, reduce or eliminate
customs duties. It also encourages and expedites U.S. participation in international trade and enhances the importation of foreign goods for domestic consumption,
or for exportation after use in domestic manufacturing. Within an FTZ, merchandise may be assembled, exhibited, cleaned, manipulated, manufactured, mixed, processed, relabeled, repackaged, repaired, salvaged, sampled, stored, tested, displayed and even destroyed before processing through customs, however, retail sales are prohibited. The impacts of having an FTZ in Utah are
very good for economic development.
Salt Lake City's FTZ will be located at 1105 S. 4800 West, where a new building
will be completed by 2010. However, the FTZ can also be used by companies
who wish to create subzones at their sites. Top industries that utilize or can benefit from FTZs include consumer goods distribution and manufacturing.
The Rockefeller Group is managing the FTZ process for Salt Lake City. The
Rockefeller Group brings 30 years of experience to the table and Utah is
fortunate to have such experience as a resource.
Also of note, perhaps you read the great story about the City Creek Center,
published last week by
The New York Times. The article really highlights how extraordinary the
investment to our capital city is, especially in light of the difficult

One might not expect a state with coal as its official state rock to get much
respect at a wind energy conference, but the winds are changing…literally.
"Utah is among the top five fastest growing states for wind energy and is
doing great, but we need to keep the momentum going," says Sara Baldwin,
community programs and policy associate for
Utah Clean Energy. Baldwin and a
delegation of Utah business, education and government leaders recently
returned from the Wind Power 2009 Conference & Exhibition in Chicago. Held
annually by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), the 2009 conference
was attended by a record 23,000 participants and 1,280 exhibitors--a dramatic increase over the 13,000 attendees
from the 2008 conference. EDCUtah's Samantha Julian, business development
manager, was there as well, participating in conference events and hosting a
networking event for members of the Utah delegation, which included
representatives from:
"Many states and countries had their own exhibits at the show. While Utah did
not exhibit, it had a large presence nonetheless," says Julian. "As I
networked with exhibitors and attendees it became clear that Utah has more of
a supply chain in wind energy than most people realize. Renewable energy and
wind energy in particular, are shaping our economy and will have a huge role
for the state going forward."
Indeed, Utah's economic developers would like to see the state become a leader
in both electrical generation from wind and the manufacturing of products for
the wind energy industry. Wind power created 35,000 new U.S. jobs in 2008, while
approximately 85,000 people worked in the wind energy industry, up from 50,000
in 2007. Many of those jobs are in manufacturing, according to AWEA. The U.S.
is the world's largest market in terms of new wind power installations, ahead
of China, and projections from the conference say that direct and indirect
jobs from wind energy will grow to 500,000 by the year 2030. Julian says Utah
is well positioned to land many jobs in the wind energy sector. "We have a lot of assets in place, such as available land, a large interest in renewable
energy and a young, educated workforce ready to engage in jobs in both
wind-related manufacturing and electrical generation," she adds.
The state also has an increasing number of leaders interested in moving Utah
to the forefront of renewable energy. "Governor Jon Huntsman is widely known
and loved for his interest in renewable energy. His leadership as chairman of
the Western Governor's Association gives us a much bigger presence," Julian
says, noting that the association will hold its annual meeting in Park City in
June, where it is expected to focus on developing regional and global
strategies regarding renewable energy, climate change and water resources.
Another leader, Utah Clean Energy Founder and Executive Director Sarah Wright,
received the 2009 Rising Star Award from "Women of Wind Energy" during the
conference, for her leadership in advancing the role of wind energy in Utah.
The award is given annually to one woman who is relatively new to the wind
energy industry but has already made a significant professional contribution.
And Milford High School engineering and technology teacher Andy Swapp was
honored during the post-conference "Wind Powering American Program All State Summit" by the National
Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), for teaching his students about wind energy and
its potential as a source for electricity. Swapp and his students started
measuring Milford's powerful winds about five years ago by using small,
handheld wind-measuring devices. Later they established a 20-meter tower with
an anemometer. Data captured from the anemometer drew the attention of First
Wind, an independent North American wind energy developer, which has obtained
$376 million in financing for its 203.5 megawatt Milford Wind Corridor Phase I
project. First Wind plans to complete construction of 97 wind turbine
generators at its site near Milford by the end of 2009. When finished it will
be one of the largest renewable energy facilities in Utah and the largest wind
energy project in the state.
Julian says Spanish Fork Wind Power Plant, Utah's first commercial wind farm, was
also highlighted during the conference. Owned by Heber City-based Wasatch
Wind, the farm is home to nine 2.1 megawatt Suzlon S-88 turbines located at
the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. Each turbine stands over 290 feet tall and
has three 145-foot fiberglass blades branching off a 50,000 pound hub. The
company has also proposed a wind farm in Iron County.
In addition to developing wind farms, Wasatch Wind also manufactures towers
for the wind industry.
Two documentaries focusing on wind energy are currently being filmed in Utah.
Julian says one focuses on the future of wind energy in the western U.S.,
while the other is focusing on the attitudes of Utahns toward renewable
energy. She notes that Utahns should find wind energy appealing because of its
near inexhaustible supply, like many of Utah's other renewable energy
resources. (The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that U.S. wind resources
are vast enough to supply the electricity needs of the entire country several
times over.) What's more, electricity production from wind can be brought to
market faster than many of the other clean energy technologies.
