STOCKTON – Roughly one-third of Waverly Elementary School students called in sick on Thursday as part of yet another protest waged against Linden Unified School District by a group of frustrated parents.
Linden Superintendent Michael Gonzales did not immediately release a district-wide number of students who were absent on Thursday. Waverly parents said 100 stayed home from their school, which has a total enrollment of about 300.
Parents have expressed extreme frustration with Gonzales after Waverly Principal Lisa Pettis took leave, citing a hostile work environment. The community has boiled as allegations of sexual harassment and inept financial decisions have been raised against Gonzales. They also contend Gonzales does not have the proper credentials to be a high-ranking educator.

SFF taboos
Lately (and not just lately..) there's been some threads here that swiftly got deleted and from what I know it wasn't because it was already discussed elsewhere on the board or something. This happens a lot with threads about some artists that are not well liked here or cause some controversy. It's not only that, there are also other types of stuff that get the boot, but these are the ones I've been wondering about, mostly.
Now I'm not trying to pick up on any of those specific threads, cause I know this is Sage's forum and he can do whatever he feels like over here (and I'm thankful that he runs this forum, cause it's a great place and I sure wouldn't want to be banned from here) and if something gets deleted we shouldn't keep on making threads about it etc etc.
What I was wondering about are the causes for certain threads (esp. the ones related to some artists) being done with real fast.
Is it because Sage/the mod team knows there will be some shit talking on those threads and they don't want the label affiliated with that cause it might cause some dumb internet beef or whatever? Is it cause they feel that stuff gets discussed everywhere else on the internet so there's no reason for it over here? Are those artists just not well liked in the SFR camp?
Just interested in that, cause I was often curious about the replies some of those threads would get and when they disappeared I was wondering why that happened. None of my threads were deleted, I don't have a problem with anything and I'm not trying to argue with anybody about their reasons for deleting. Just curious.
PS: Please don't use this thread to bitch about specific threads you made being deleted etc. I'm trying to ask about this in a subtle way, without being banned out of here. Please don't ban me.;)

This is kinda on a tangeant but related.. Something I was wondering.
There's a metal thread, and we get other various music threads crop up, but new hip hop recommendations kinda get buried in the Random Video Thread.
I thought of starting a rolling hip hop recommendations thread but worried that it might fall under the category of banworthy, or at least just get deleted.
I think it could be really good, provided it was stipulated that you can't just go in there and post your own or your mates' music.

I think there's two criteria to think of before you post about an artist/band/group:
1. Is this related to SFR and/or sold at the SFR store?
2. Is this of importance to hip hop culturally, historically, or at least on a large scale at this moment.
The first is self-explanatory. You can and should talk about artists that are featured here. Start a thread, so long as there isn't one. Always fine.
The second one is a little more difficult to judge. You have to ask the question not from the viewpoint of a fan of whatever artist, or yourself if you're the artist. Basically this means that we can talk about white rappers, we can talk about Kanye's new album, we can talk about NWA. Those are all topics that affect hip hop on a macro scale.
What we can't do is create promo threads anymore. Not for ourselves. Not for our friends. Not for our favorite other artist that isn't featured on this label or at this store. If you want to do that there's a catchall beats thread for music and a catchall video thread for video.
Shit like blogs, etc, just don't have any place for promo here. If you have a blog and you write something particularly interesting then maybe post that... but don't make it an advertisement to read your blog. Don't post every article off your blog, either.
That's the basic guidelines. There may be an exception here or there. There are certainly artists/discussions that fit the second criteria who are taboo. I won't bother to mention them, but suffice to say that you won't get banned for posting a thread about them, unless you do it repeatedly.
Lastly, don't take it personal if your thread/post gets deleted. It just means that the mods don't want that discussion to take place, not that they hate you or have it out to get you.

I get all that, redball. I just think that sometimes stuff that fits the criteria you mentioned (and doesn't break any of the rules stated in the rules section of the forum) gets the boot anyway. And those times leave me wondering.

Like I said, those are personal preference. We don't know the reasons why those are deleted and they won't ever be explained. Could be business, could be politics, but some topics are taboo.
Just make a note that you posted about it and it was removed and try not to do it again.

I am pretty sure that most threads that get deleted are done so on accident. So, to please the mods (and entertain the peanut gallery) please repost your threads. In fact, double post them for added security. This is best when done between the hours of 6am est and 10am est (if I had to guess when these guys sleep i would say between these hours). You are welcome.

This doesn't happen with "a lot of threads." There are a few artists/groups that we simply don't want promoted through our channels. This won't stop their promotion in general as they're being discussed on virtually every other music-related site. I like the other things we discuss here.

Phage Lysis: do we have the hole story now?
Phage lysis of Gram-negative hosts is a precisely timed event involving the consecutive functions of three classes of proteins: holins, endolysins and spanins. The holins initiate the process by triggering to permeabilize the membrane at an allele-specific time, acting independently of any other host or phage protein, except in cases where a phage-encoded antiholin exerts an inhibitory effect. The subsequent steps are peptidoglycan degradation and outer membrane disruption, effected by the endolysins and spanins, respectively. Each functional class of lysis protein has at least two completely different types that appear to have evolved independently; moreover, holins and spanins are among the most diverse proteins in biology. Every step of the lysis process has been shown to involve membrane protein and bilayer dynamics.

How to Bleed Your Brakes
8 of 8 in Series: The Essentials of Checking and Maintaining Your Vehicle's Brakes
If your vehicle has squishy-feeling brakes, the way to get the air out of the lines is to bleed the brakes. To do the job, you need either a brake bleeder wrench or a combination wrench that fits the bleeder nozzle on your vehicle, a can of the proper brake fluid, a clean glass jar, and a friend.
To avoid getting air into the actuator of ABS, EBD, BA, or other sophisticated brake systems, a professional should bleed the brakes for you.
Follow these steps to bleed your brakes:
Find the little nozzle called a brake bleeder screw that's located behind each of your brakes.
Reaching this bleeder screw may be easier if you jack up the vehicle. If you're going to crawl underneath, lay down an old blanket or a thick layer of newspapers first. If you really want to be comfortable, beg or borrow a creeper to lie on and slide around with easily.
Find the proper wrench or socket that fits the screw, and loosen the screw.
Special wrenches called bleeder wrenches fit the bleeder screw and can prevent rounding the screw's hex-head. Be careful not to break the screw off or you'll need professional repairs. If it's stuck, spray some penetrant like WD-40 around the screw. After you loosen the screw, tighten it again (but not too tight).
Place a small piece of flexible hose over the end of the bleeder screw and place the other end of the hose in the jar.
Then fill the jar with brake fluid to cover the end of the hose. If you don't have anything that fits over the bleeder screw, just keep the jar near the nozzle so that any fluid that squirts out lands in the jar.
Have your friend slowly pump your brake pedal a few times.
Have your friend say "Down" when pressing the brake pedal down and "Up" when releasing it.
If the vehicle is jacked up, before you let your friend get into it with you underneath it, make sure that the wheels are blocked in the direction in which the car would roll and that it isn't parked on a hill. Leave your tires in place so that the vehicle will bounce and leave you some clearance if it falls.
After your friend has pumped the pedal a few times and is holding the pedal down, open the bleeder screw.
Brake fluid will squirt out (duck!). If there's air in your brake lines, air bubbles will be in the fluid. Seeing these bubbles is easiest if you're using the hose-in-the-jar method, but you can also see them without it.
Before your friend releases the brake pedal, tighten the bleeder screw.
If you don't, air is sucked back into the brake lines when the pedal is released.
Tell your friend to release the pedal, and listen for him or her to say "Up."
Repeat this procedure, loosening the screw and tightening it again and again until no more air bubbles come out with the fluid.
Open your master cylinder and add more brake fluid until the level reaches the "Full" line.
If you neglect to do so, you run the risk of draining all the fluid out of the master cylinder and drawing air into the lines from the top. If that happens, you have to go back and bleed your master cylinder until you suck the air out of that end of the system. Who needs the extra work?
If you goof and have to bleed the master cylinder, it's the same deal as bleeding your brakes (friend and all). Just bleed it at the point where the brake lines attach to the cylinder or at the master cylinder's bleeder nozzle if it has one.
Repeat this process with each brake until the air is out of each brake line.
Don't forget to add brake fluid to the master cylinder after you bleed each brake.
After you bring the brake fluid level in the master cylinder back to the "Full" level for the last time, drive the vehicle around the block.
The brake pedal should no longer feel spongy when you press it. If it does, check the master cylinder again to be sure that it's full, and try bleeding the brakes one more time (this situation isn't unusual, and it doesn't take as long as it sounds).
If the job seems like too much of a hassle, have a professional do the work. You shouldn't have to pay for much labor, and if you choose a brake shop wisely, the whole deal shouldn't cost too much.

by Tiffany Houser, Green Monkey Interactive
People in my life know how much I enjoy physical movement whether it is an exercise class, going on a bike ride or participating in a competitive sport. As I mentioned in my other blog post, Movement Trifecta for Children, I was fortunate to have my parents enroll me in dance, swimming and gymnastics during my pre-school years.
Now, as a 34 year old former athlete, building a Balanced Living company with the main draw in our locations being yoga, I feel that my movement is coming full circle.
Over the past two years I have become ADDICTED to Spinning. Oddly enough, had you told me 5 years ago I'd become an avid spinner to the point of becoming a certified instructor, I would have laughed.
When I was an Intern in the New York corporate offices of Crunch Fitness back in 1996, spin was just coming into action in Manhattan. Intrigued by the excitement and publicity Spin was receiving, I decided to jump into a class and take part in the experience...7 minutes later, I jumped off that bike and ran out gasping for air and fearful that my ears were actually bleeding from the loud music.
Fast forward, over 10 years later, I decided to give it another try because there was this class that had a live musician and would always fill up. So of course I took a bike right by the door assuming when it was time to make my early exit I wouldn't disrupt the class nor make the instructor feel as though the class wasn't up to par.
Seven minutes passed, and I was still on the bike, seventeen minutes passed and I was still on the bike. To my pleasant surprise, I made it to the end! I decided to take the same class the following week which was the start of something I now love so much and look forward to doing every week.
With the Editorial work I do with Green Monkey, I am constantly on top of our industry, learning what's hot and what's not, gathering reports and scientific studies and talking to consumers and experts in each of our fields. In my constant search to do things smarter, I learned that weight lifting is one of the keys to burning calories and fighting the physical aging process. This led me to take weight lifting classes because I believe group classes are the best way to leverage your time in a movement venue. Having someone guide you, while being motivated by peers and covering almost every body part is what a busy person and efficiency seeker needs.
I never really thought too much about injury prevention, because I do not compete in sports anymore, until I twisted my knee. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to someone with an active lifestyle. Joint injuries in particular are worrisome because if they are not properly taken care of and rehabilitated they can be problematic for the rest of your life.
Since I could not spin or lift weights for at least two months I needed to find an alternative activity to maintain my cardiovascular health and my happiness. Living in Miami does have a lot of perks, one of them being the ability to swim outdoors all year round, especially when your friend's building has a lap pool. I began swimming and doing some of the sequences from the aqua fitness classes I used to teach when I was a lifeguard. I also took more yoga and Pilates classes as well.
As soon as my knee healed, I started back slowly by taking conditioning and weight lifting classes. I was craving spin, but I knew that I was not ready. I still to this day remember that first spin class. It was the most exhilarating feeling ever! Even though my knee ached the next day, I knew that was a part of the rehab process.
Now, I am a power house at the gym, I take on average one weight lifting class per week and about 4-5 spin classes weekly...my body is starting to speak...'You're killing me with the constant routine!'.
Over the past 2 months, my body has felt like the day after skiing or snowboarding. I have also found myself using the 5 and 2.5 pound weights during class which is not doing any good for my body. I'm not into trying to bulk up, but the weights need to be heavy to some degree in order to get results and grow the muscle.
That is where the mind/body modalities have shown me the light (no pun intended).
Yoga and Pilates are key for a healthy physical body. The stretching, twisting, pressure and core work these two practices push the body to do, is like physical therapy mixed with plastic surgery! What I mean is that the body needs balance. As you may have learned from Christi Idavoy's blog post, Every Movement Creates a Body Pattern, if you only do repetitive physical movement your body will develop in a limited way, whereas if you combine your repetitions with the twisting, posing, and anti-gravity movements in yoga, you are enrolling your muscles in school. They are learning to move in new ways or maybe not new ways but in new sequences.
My comparison to plastic surgery stems from the fact that yoga and, more so, Pilates sculpt the body. Our bodies can be pushed with weights and cardio workouts and we may shed pounds or beef up, but the defining results that can be accomplished with yoga and Pilates practically make your body look like you sucked out the excess mass that you can see externally and feel internally.
Overall, I encourage you to continue to move and challenge your body for more than the obvious reasons. Movement leads to a better lifestyle, a balanced lifestyle.

At the CMC Strategy Forum on Quality by Design (QbD) in July, discussions focused on an unlikely subject: noncritical process parameters. The core question was, How much regulatory oversight do they require?
Noncritical parameters, which may not be captured in the design space, also present ambiguity.At the meeting, industry professionals argued that companies should not be required to include extensive information about noncritical parameters in their regulatory filings, and instead should have the flexibility to manage these parameters through their internal quality systems.
Regulators, however, had a different view. They acknowledged that critical and noncritical parameters should be treated differently from a regulatory point of view, but did not want to completely lose the ability to monitor any of them.
"If we take noncritical process parameters out of the group of things that are visible to the agency, that raises concerns," said Steven Kozlowski, director of the FDA's Office of Biotechnology Products. "We need a way of having companies include some detail on change control for noncritical parameters, such that if a big change is made, the company would have to involve the agency."
Kozlowski's concern stems from uncertainty that risk assessments used to classify parameters are accurate, particularly if those assessments are carried out early in product development.
"The understanding of criticality evolves during development and the product lifecycle," Kozlowski said. "If some adverse event arises later that you think may be related to a potential noncritical quality attribute, then you should revisit it."
On that point, industry members agreed. "There seems to be a misconception that noncritical attributes disappear," said Rohin Mhatre, vice president of biopharmaceutical development at Biogen Idec. "If you see random changes in a quality attribute, you would examine all potential triggers, including parameters not deemed critical."
Minimizing the data filed about noncritical process parameters would shift their oversight from regulatory agencies' review branches, which approve applications, to the compliance branches, which inspect manufacturing sites.
For the industry, that shift would be preferable. "We want to get to the point where regulators are confident with how we're handling our quality management throughout the product lifecycle, but I'd prefer to have that linkage occur between the review and compliance branches," said John Towns, senior director of CMC regulatory affairs at Eli Lilly. "I would prefer to handle it in inspection."
"But inspections only last a week or so," cautioned Kozlowski. "That is not a big slice in time."

One day i looked in the mirror, actually i looked at a picture and it just didn't look like me. I looked different, and i looked well....old. I know i know i don't look old, but something about my face is changing. I cant actually pin point it. I can't say oh i have more wrinkles here or deeper lines there. I just look different. I am lucky to come from a family that ages later then most, but later aging is still inevitable aging.
(mind you these pics are highly edited)
I have never looked my age and i always attributed that to part genes and part personality, but my personalty isn't getting me out of this change. I wish i could figure out what it is because im sure there is a cream for it, but im not sure what cream to buy. They don't make a cream for ladies pushing forty who just look different. I don't know, i blame part of this sudden change on the chemo and the rest on my age. Sooner or later im going to look completely different and i will barely recognize myself. It happens to all of us and no cream or serum is invented yet to bring back your disappearing self. No matter what you inject, nip and tuck you cant go back to this
Now i could dye my hair like this again, but the skin will never again look like that.
This is a new stage in my life a new form of acceptance. I need to accept that my face has damage from chemo the poison shows through my skin. I also need to accept that i am no longer that twenty year old girl with the curly headed blond baby under my arm, that baby is almost 17. I am working on it, but acceptance of oneself to me is the hardest mountain to climb. Don't you think?
I want to let everyone know so you don't worry. I am going on a jet plane this time for real. I am taking a well needed vacation to visit with family in California. I will be gone over two weeks and cant guarantee a blog post in between. My parents version of computer software, is a cozy soft outfit to wear while trying to figure out that darn internet. Honestly i don't know if I'll even have time between ocean hoping and Disney trips with the kids, but ill check in here an there on the Facebook page.
Make sure you like MyShtub on Facebook because if you cant find me here im always there.

This show was part of the "2000 Fall Tour."
September always sees Massachusetts in its best mood (if all is going as planned, of course). The leaves are turning just right, the air is crisp but the sun hangs on until early evening, the Red Sox are clinching a spot in the playoffs, and Phish is ripping it up at Great Woods - a place that will never bow down to its newer corporate name. Great Woods has a way a capturing the energy of a Phish show and holding it out in the palm of its hand. Maybe it's because Boston and the surrounding area is Phish's home away from home; there's so much history between the Commonwealth and the band. It's a relationship filled with loyalty and admiration on both sides.
You can always count on Phish to make you feel special, and they begin the show by paying homage to the great state and their loyal Masshole fans (yep, I'm born and raised) by opening with "Roadrunner": a Jonathan Richman tune that references such Massachusetts inside jokes as 128 and Stop & Shop, declaring "I'm in love with Massachusetts!" Ah, aren't we all.
The set continues to flow in waves, from energetic highs to gentle lows. Next stop is "Moma Dance", and the funk is unleashed, only to be topped by "Rift", a perennial crowd pleaser. The energy is high and "Rift" is tight. "Brian and Robert" follows, with its lullaby-like soothing quality, only to transition into a dark and stormy "Vultures". And then, of course, "Horn"! I think my body reacted like an exclamation point, I was so excited.
It's a back and forth of song moods. Bluegrass emerges as "Beauty of My Dreams" takes hold, and the crowd relaxes as it gets its fix of Page. "Ya Mar" is complete with a choppy stop and go jam that leads into a "Stash" that swells with musical improvisation. Trey has the crowd under his thumb, and we all know how much he enjoys that.
The sky is dark now; the air cooler, and the second set begins with "Chalk Dust", a rare placement for a common song. The set continues and is reminiscent of the lazy summer days of Tour 1999, as "Twist", "Piper", and "What's the Use?" follows. No one complains as the night melts into "YEM" and they jam the set to a close. The boys encore with "Good Times/ Bad Times", and the crowd reciprocates the energy. Everyone goes home happy.
On this night that was to be my last show pre-Hiatus, the boys proved to me why I keep coming back, year after year, show after show. This magical night at Great Woods exemplifies all the best of Phish's qualities: humor, mad genius, simplicity, solidity, and timelessness.
Exactly a year later our world took a horrific, unimaginable fall"...I realized a while ago that I had seen a show on 9/11 before "9/11" even existed in the way it does now. I think of this night and I'm reminded of a time before "that": happy, careless, and innocent. Just like the feeling of getting lost in the spirit of the music or the energy of a pre-show Lot.
Perhaps that's why I hold this show so close to my heart (though it could just be because I'm a sensitive and emotional chick).
This show kicks butt in my spaced-out opinion. What can I say? 06/14/2000 is, to me, a masterpiece. This is like it's niece or nephew in a more muscular way.
Set 2: Chalk Dust leads off the proceedings, and the band wastes no time getting down to business with a nice and fast-paced jam that peaks with a ferocious, almost *violent* Trey solo (and threatens to morph into Llama at one point) before returning to the main CDT theme. Then, as CDT comes to a close, the band rolls into a spaced-out mini-jam that winds down like a toy running out of battery power, from which Twist emerges. This is a really nifty Twist (which I believe should show up on the jam chart), somewhat analogous to the 7/14/13 version that I unfairly slagged in my review of that show, in that it doesn't escape the usual boundaries of Twist but energetically explores every bit of the space inside those boundaries, Fish really driving the jam forward near the end.
Twist winds down, and we get another spacey jam, Trey quietly soloing as Page and Mike create a soundscape behind him, which leads quite naturally into Piper. The Piper jam is on fire from the start (an attempt to sing the Piper lyrics mid-jam is, to say the least, not entirely successful), then slows briefly before the band rolls into a groovier, yet no less quicksilver jam that then gives way to a stomping beat from Fish and some equally powerful work from Mike. The jam slows down further, as Fish switches up the tempo and Page takes over while Trey lets loose a bevy of loops, then speeds up again for one last thrill before collapsing into (yep) a spacey jam (which, it should be noted, at least naturally occurs from the actual previous jam), gets almost industrial, and then morphs into What's The Use?. What's The Use crashes around for a few minutes, then gives way into one final spacey jam (which at least has an interesting little passage at the end, elvish notes from Page mixing with a Mike-led mini-groove), from which YEM emerges. YEM is totally fine.
Final thoughts: A strong show, especially for 2000. Much of the playing in the second set is really quite good (especially in the Twist/Piper combo), and the spacey passages from song to song are neat (if a bit stagnant creatively, cf this @waxbanks blog post), and Ya Mar/Stash are better than you can reasonably expect from a first set. Highly recommended.
Highlights from the 1st set: Roadrunner bustout, Ya Mar, Stash.
CDT started off set 2 with a bang. Trey plays a racing guitar solo that gets the crowd revved up, then the band kicks off a smoking jam that threatens to go into a CYHMK tease but somehow stays away. Back into the lyrics, then a cool little spacey coda which might actually be a spacey intro to Twist, although it isn't tracked that way on my files. Fantastic set opener in any event. Incredibly chill funky Twist, good stuff. A 23 min Piper followed, with some very cool moments, especially about 12 minutes in when Mike lays down a particularly sweet bass groove. The jam completely devolves into psychedelic spaciness about 20 minutes in (which some spun fans attempt to clap along to), then segues into a languid What's The Use? Some light noodling wraps up WTU - is this a DEG tease, maybe? Or a DDLJ? In any event, the beginning of YEM soon followed. Fun YEM, nothing crazy, some excellent bass work by Mike in the jam section. Great stop/start stuff right before the vocal jam. A really cool set that shows right where Phish was at in the fall of 2000.
Raging GTBT encore.
Highlights from 2nd set: CDT>Twist>Piper
Overall a very solid show from the first "farewell" tour.

Tagging Requirements
Prior to presenting a bear, deer, moose, or wild turkey for registration, a person may not possess or leave that animal in the field or forest unless that person has securely attached a plainly visible tag to the animal with that persons name, address, and license number on the tag.
Transporting Harvested Animals
A person may not transport a harvested wild animal or wild bird unless that animal or bird is lawfully possessed by the person. Once the animal or bird has been registered, it may be transported by another person. A person may not present for registration or allow to be registered in that person's name, a bear, deer, moose, or wild turkey that the person did not lawfully kill.
Transportation Prior to Registration
Prior to registration, a person may not transport a harvested bear, deer, moose, or wild turkey unless that animal is open to view. For purposes of this section, "open to view" means the animal is not concealed and can be readily observed in whole or in part from outside of the vehicle or trailer being used to transport the animal.
Registration Requirements
A person who kills a bear, deer, moose, or wild turkey must:
Time Limits for Registering
A person may not keep an unregistered bear, deer, moose or wild turkey at home or any place of storage for more than 18 hours. This does not apply to an animal that is kept in an official registration station for the animal or at the office of a game warden. A person may leave an unregistered harvested animal in the woods if that person notifies a game warden within 18 hours as to the location of that animal and the circumstances necessitating leaving that animal in the woods.
A person on a hunting trip in an unorganized township and staying at a temporary place of lodging may keep an unregistered harvested animal at the temporary place of lodging for no more than 7 days or until that person leaves the woods, whichever comes first.
A person may not possess a bear, deer, moose, or wild turkey that has not been legally registered except as otherwise provided in the statutes regarding animals causing damage or nuisance.
Condition of Animal Presented for Registration
A person may not present a bear, deer, moose or wild turkey for registration unless it is presented in its entirety, except that the viscera and rib cage of the animal may be removed in a manner that still allows the determination of the sex of the animal.
A moose may be dismembered for ease of transportation, and the lower legs, head and hide of a moose may be removed. If the head of the moose is not brought to the registration station, a canine tooth or the lower jaw must be presented at the time of registration. Parts of a moose not presented for registration may not be placed where they are visible to a person traveling on a public or private way.
Hunters are required to remove a premolar tooth from the bear they harvest and provide the tooth when they register their bear. Hunters will receive instructions at the registration station or can go online. Hunters will be notified of the age of the bear they harvested on the Bear Hunting Page on the Department's website.
Possession of Gift Bear, Deer, Moose, or Wild Turkey
A person may not possess any part or parts of a bear, deer, moose, or wild turkey given to that person unless that gift bear, deer, moose or wild turkey is plainly labeled with the name and address of the person who registered it and the year it was registered.
Regulations in red are new this year.

Court Arms Supporters of Gay Marriage, Justice Scalia Says
By formally declaring anyone opposed to same-sex marriage an enemy of human decency, the majority arms well every challenger to a state law restricting marriage to its traditional definition.
-Justice Antonin Scalia
The Supreme Court was silent Wednesday on whether state bans on gay marriage are permissible under the U.S. Constitution. But the 5-4 majority, in knocking down a law that denied federal benefits to same-sex couples, did indeed give proponents of gay marriage a lot to work with, as Justice Antonin Scalia notes in his dissent.
You can expect to see the language of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion, pop up often in legal challenges to gay marriage bans in the states.
But proponents don't even need to read his opinion. Justice Scalia, in his dissent, does the work for them, with some clever editing.
Below, he explains "how inevitable" it is to reach the conclusion that state laws banning same-sex marriage are unconstitutional now that the Supreme Court has ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act is so. The strikethroughs and italics are his.
DOMA'sThis state law's principal effect is to identify a subset of state-sanctioned marriages constitutionally protected sexual relationships, see Lawrence, and make them unequal. The principal purpose is to impose inequality, not for other reasons like governmental efficiency. Responsibilities, as well as rights, enhance the dignity and integrity of the person. And DOMAthis state law contrives to deprive some couples married under the laws of their Stateenjoying constitutionally protected sexual relationships, but not other couples, of both rights and responsibilities."
Or try this passage, from ante, at 22–23:
[DOMA]This state law tells those couples, and all the world, that their otherwise valid marriagesrelationships are unworthy of federalstate recognition. This places same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in a second-tier marriagerelationship. The differentiation demeans the couple, whose moral and sexual choices the Constitution protects, see Lawrence, . . . ."
Or this, from ante, at 23—which does not even require alteration, except as to the invented number:
"And it humiliates
tens ofthousands of children now being raised by same-sex couples. The law in question makes it even more difficult for the children to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives."
Of course, by pointing all this out, Justice Scalia preemptively pokes fun at those who would do the inevitable.

LOVELAND - If you've ever gone skiing at an unfamiliar resort without getting lost, chances are you have James Niehues to thank.
Niehues, 65, is the man behind the trail map. His hand-painted panoramas have been reproduced into millions of pocket-sized maps handed out by ski resorts in North America, Japan, Korea, China, New Zealand, Australia, Chile and Serbia.
"His trail maps are as much a part of the sport as snow," said Greg Ditrinco, executive editor of Ski Magazine.
That's high praise for a fellow whose formal art training consisted of a "learn to draw" mail-order course, taken in ninth grade while home sick from school.
Niehues always wanted to find a job that "had a little art." After the Army, he worked as an offset pressman, an ad layout artist and a designer before contacting Bill Brown, who painted the majority of the ski maps in the 1970s and 1980s.
Niehues went to Brown looking for some encouragement, but left with a commission. Brown was moving away from maps and into video, and asked Niehues to take over painting an inset for a Winter Park, Colo., trail map.
From his start in 1987 until today, Niehues has painted about 300 panoramas, mostly of ski resorts, but also of golf courses, hiking trails, resort property and tourist regions.
His style is distinctive. He paints from an aerial perspective, distorted if necessary to bring a labyrinth of runs and mountain faces into a single plane.
"That's why I've lasted so long doing what I do," explained Niehues. "Every ski slope is a puzzle to me; to turn all those slopes so you can get the best view. "
Niehues works out of a well-organized basement studio in the modest house he shares in Loveland Park, Colo., with his wife, Dora, who handles the business end of things.
To craft a map, Niehues researches his subject, checking satellite images on Google Earth, existing maps, blueprints and photographs. Then, whenever possible, he visits the resort, taking photographs from the air while being flown over at various altitudes.
"By the time I get down from the flight I know what perspective I can get to represent the mountain," he said. If he can't make the flight personally, he asks the resort to supply aerial photographs.
Niehues starts by providing the client with a couple of small sketches, followed by a large pencil on vellum drawing. The sketch time can take from a day to a week, depending on the size of the resort.
Once he gets the client's approval, he begins painting in gouache, an opaque watercolor, on a 30-by-40 inch prepared illustration board. This method allows him to lift the color and update sections as resorts change over the years.
Small ski areas might require three days of painting, while large resorts require 10, depending on the number of trees. Regional representations can take up to three weeks.
Niehues licenses the image to the client, but he maintains the copyright. His most lucrative job was $13,500 for a regional map, six years ago.
"If there were two really good artists in this business, we'd both starve," he said.
Niehues will sketch one resort while painting another, but he only paints one at a time.
"I tried doing several at a time in my early career. It was OK but they would end up looking similar and I didn't like that," he explained.
And that is what Niehues doesn't like about his nemesis: computers. He'll use a computer to adjust the color or perspective on a nearly finished map. But in Niehues' opinion, computer-generated maps lack any character.
"They can't do what I can do," he explained. "A computer-generated map is obviously computer generated. They have cloned trees; all of them identical."
Keeping the panoramas unique is part of what motivates Niehues. He paints some with bright blue skies, others with alpenglow at sunset.
"I try to make each one as different as I can," he said.
Over the decades, his style and palette have changed, in part because of developments in reproduction techniques, and in part because of his own evolution as an artist.
"I think I'm getting better," he said. "Now I put indigo in my snow. It gives it more body, settles it down, especially if it has trees on it."
Because there are so few projects available - he normally paints 16 to 25 a year - Niehues will take almost any commission. But he won't relax his standards if a client tinkers with his work.
"I've had to occasionally call somebody up after they've used a computer program to alter the color or proportions and say, 'Take my name off of it. That isn't how I painted it,' " he said.
Niehues still has some mountains that he'd like to paint, and still very much enjoys what he does. At the same time, he's dreaming of retirement. He'd like to travel the Oregon coast and the desert surrounding Moab, Utah, and paint landscapes he's photographed over the years.
He'd be happy if one day, someone contacts him like he contacted Brown.
"I'd like to pass the torch," he said. "I think it would be neat if there were still some hand-painted illustrations. But I may very well be the last trail map artist to use a brush."

Big Dreams – SWRBC 2012
I just got back from the Dream Inn with Baca, where we secured room blocks and pricing for the 2012 South Western Regional Barista Competition. We took a few iPhone shots, so you can see just how sweet this place is. Every room in the hotel has an ocean view, private balcony, and fridge (if you've ever competed, you know the fridge actually fits nicely in that sentence). The hotel is right on West Cliff Drive between two well loved Santa Cruz hotspots — the Boardwalk and Steamer Lane. Another big bonus: it's just 1 mile from Downtown Santa Cruz, where we are planning to hold the event.
We will be opening up the group booking link sometime tomorrow, so keep an eye on our SWRBC 2012 webpage. We'll also make it known in the comment section below, as well as through twitter and Facebook.
We can't wait for everyone to get here, and we've already made great progress in lining up some amazing sponsors, events, parties and adventures. Stay tuned, and make your plans early. SWRBC is coming up quick!

Toward the end of 2005 I was reading about "the year for Linux" everywhere I went. No matter where I looked, I always found articles by GNU/Linux fans (like me) that expected this year (2006) to be "the year for Linux" (once and for all). In fact, it's been quite a few years now that I've been reading that "this will be the year for Linux". And let me tell you something: I don't want the year for Linux to come... ever! Period.
This issue mostly surrounds the desktop arena. It's already well known that GNU/Linux is powering the 500 most powerful computers in the world (Microsoft, of course, wants to get a piece of the supercomputing pie with its HPC version—I always rejoice at the thought of 100,000 bluescreens of death popping up in an otherwise beautiful Windows-powered cluster), and Apache's web serving market share has never been jeopardized by IIS (even they have had to learn the hard way that the tightly-coupled fashion just wasn't the way). There are other places in the enterprise where Windows will be difficult to dislodge... But, even in those places, there's a battle going on.
Let me tell you something: I don't want the year for Linux to come... ever!
In the four and a half years since I first used a GNU/Linux box, it has been amazing for me to see how handling Linux has gone from being such a pain to get used to (for a winuser like I was back then), to what it is today. There are distributions now that are so simple to use that all you have to do is put a Live-CD in your computer, and you have a working environment up and running in less than 5 minutes with tons of desktop applications that can even make their Windows counterparts look rough. That's a lot of progress. I still remember the faces of my Windows using co-workers at the hospital when I showed them how Knoppix could help them recover data from a virus-possesed non-starting Windows without much hazzle. It was like they'd seen an oasis after having walked through Death Valley without water.
There's been a buzz about GNU/Linux for a long time now. It's been expected to change the landscape of the IT world, and people (particularly people like me) have been expecting that moment to come any day now. But after thinking it over, I can tell you that I actually don't want that moment to come at all. That's right, I don't. About now I can almost hear you thinking: "What's this (so called pro-Linux) wacko going on about?", "What... does he always want to be on the losing side?", or even worse, you might be thinking: "Maybe he's working for Microsoft". Ugh! That last one hurt.
It's okay... I understand if you're thinking things like that at this point. Please, let me explain myself a little better.
There are distributions now that are so simple to use that all you have to do is put a Live-CD in your computer and you have a working environment up and running in less than 5 minutes
What do you know about Egypt? I know it's a country located in North Africa, it's hot like hell, and it's a place which attracts thousands of tourists each year who go to see the remains of what was once a great empire.
How about Rome? It's not a country in North Africa this time but a city in Italy. However, it's still very similar to Egypt: it's a place which attracts thousands of tourists each year who go to see the remains of what was once a great empire.
Now think about IBM? It's not a country or a city and okay it doesn't attract tourists. But, it is still similar to Egypt and Rome... I think you can tell what I'm getting at now, can't you?
How many times have you seen someone or something become "The Ultimate Hit", only to be fade into obscurity? Think about it:
- The New Kids on the Block
- The Spice Girls
- Napster
- Even Netscape
- .Net and every product delivered by Microsoft. (Okay I'm being a little hopeful with this one, I admit it.)
How many times have you seen someone or something become "The Ultimate Hit", only to be fade into obscurity?
Some of them are not exactly in ashes. A couple of examples seem to be coming back from the underworld to scare the life out of their undertakers, so to speak. Others have just changed and are still present though not in the same "package", like Napster. But it seems to be a law of nature: once you get to the top... there's nowhere else to go but down. It all makes perfect sense.
Now it seems to be the time for free software to be "The Ultimate Hit"—time for it to be carried to the top by the momentum of GNU/Linux. Everybody is willing to make cheerful statements about FOSS. Some people have even envisioned a Microsoft-maintained Linux kernel and distribution or that Microsoft will one day release all of its source code under the GPL and place it on SourceForge (I personally believe those "visions" are unlikely). Seriously now, I'm concerned that it'll become just another in the long list of sad examples of "Ultimate Hits"—that it'll get to the top only to nose-dive into obscurity, to be spoken of only in history books. The thought of it almost brings a tear to my eye.
I've been in love with GNU/Linux since I started working with it over four years ago, and I most certainly do not want to see it become another fallen empire. Perhaps it'd be better for it to remain ever the "Next Big Hit" in the IT World. I wouldn't mind that at all. Would you?
Free software is not like an empire thus it survives
Good article and I see your point. I assume you mean "The year of Desktop Linux" which is what I heard so much about last year (and the year before and the one before etc.).
However the major difference between the examples that you give (Egypt/Rome/IBM) and GNU/Linux or free software is that your examples were all run by a central control of some sort (empires, businesses etc.) . Also they existed with a view to expanding themselves. GNU/Linux and the Free software used on it - by nature - tends to be community led and tends to exist to meet the needs of it's own community and the surrounding ones. It grows not by force (either armed or commercial) but by service to the same communities. It has no central ego to satisfy. The features that turn up usually are developed to meet user (often developer/user) needs and not sales targets/growth plans.
So while there may be individual companines whose business depends more on the growth of GNU/Linux, they exist within a larger community which will continue even if they do not.
It's intersting that these predictions of world domination are regularly made by those outside the user community. They tend (IME) to be made by journalists who are interested in selling copy and by "analysts" who earn their living saying such things.
Do I think Free software (not necessarily GNU/Linux but it does seem the likliest candidate) will have it's day? - Yes I do but I think it will kind of sneak up on us instead of it being some recognisable year of growth. One day we'll be writing articles that try to pinpoint exactly when it was that we all started to use Free software instead of proprietary lock-ins.
What do you know about life?
What do you know about life? How long did that last again? When will DNA stop from being copied?
OK, Linux may not be there to stay, but parts and variations thereof have a good chance to survive a lot longer.
Life is kind of the point, yes
Free licenses are to software development what sex was to evolution.
They greatly increase the rate of innovation, because they permit constant and promiscuous recombinant experimentation. The Cambrian Explosion on Earth came shortly after microbes began to be able to exchange DNA and thus freely share their innovations with their neighbors.
The truth is that Linux will die. FreeBSD will die. Even the Posix standard will die. But they will have progeny that will live on.
Proprietary programs are inherently sterile, like a neutered cat. When they die, you just have to buy or adopt a new one. They may be good at catching mice, but they won't teach their children how to, because they're not going to have any children.
This is one of many ways in which you can see that the free software world is one of organic, constantly evolving change, as opposed to the artificial "engineered" world of proprietary software. If you want a quick, efficient way to get a particular job done, and you can afford to throw a lot of money at the problem, the engineered solution is likely the best. But in the long run, it loses, because it's brittle and unchangeable. It can't adapt.

HARROGATE, TN -- The Lady Railsplitters notched four double-digit scorers and withstood a late rally to capture a 67-65 victory over the Lions of Mars Hill College in South Atlantic Conference women's basketball action on Wednesday evening in Tex Turner Arena. With the win, Lincoln Memorial University (11-10, 4-7 SAC) earned their third win over the past four games, while Mars Hill fell to 4-15 on the season and 1-10 in league play with the loss.
The Lady Railsplitters opened quickly, running out to an early 6-0 advantage following back-to-back three-pointers by Ralissa Nelson to start the game. However, the Lions responded with a 10-0 run, capped by Erica Warren's three-point play at the 16:30 mark of the first half. In the next Lady Railsplitter possession, Elliotte Roberts moved LMU to within one with a three-point play of her own, but the Lions scored four-straight to jump back out on top by five.
Trailing 14-9 at the 14:57 mark, the Lady Railsplitters grabbed control of the contest on the wings of a 13-0 run, with Kelsey Bradford headlining that rally with six points over that stretch. For the remainder of the half, the Lady Railsplitters would never lead by less than four. The Lions cut it to four for the final time at the 2:29 mark with a jumper by Ansley Ricker, however, Eliotte Roberts cashed in with a jumper at the 1:02 mark to send LMU into the break leading 37-31.
The Lions boasted jumpers by Kelsey Espinosa and four points by Armeka Booker to open the second frame to knot the game at 37-37 by the 16:47 mark of regulation. With a jumper by Bradford and another three-point bucket from Ralissa Nelson, Lincoln Memorial re-established a two-possession advantage at 42-37 with 15:41 left on the clock. Over the next two minutes, Mars Hill battled tough, moving to within two with a pair of free throws by Armeka Booker. Once again, the Lady 'Splitters had an answer, as they were catapulted back out to a 50-43 lead with a layup by Kalasia Green and a Ralissa Nelson three-pointer in consecutive possessions.
By the 8:08 mark of the second half, the Lady Railsplitters pressed their lead out to double-digits, grabbing command of the board at 56-45 on a jumper from Bradford. Lincoln Memorial continued to hold sway to the tone of a 63-54 advantage at the 2:10 mark of regulation, however, Ansley Ricker drained a three and Cadence Wilmoth notched a jumper in back-to-back possessions to drive the Lions within four with 1:40 remaining. After a pair of free throws from Bradford, Autumn Ward cut the deficit to only three with a three-point play with only 50 ticks left. In the next Lady Railsplitter possession, Kelsey Bradford drained a running jumper as the shot clock expired to push the lead back to 67-62. Taylor Tate poured in a last second three but it was too little, too late, as LMU held on to take a 67-65 win over the Lions.
The Lady Railsplitters were bolstered by their best all-around offensive performance of the season, as the four-headed attack of Ralissa Nelson, Kelsey Bradford, MaRanda Boddie and Kalasia Green poured in 53 of the team's 67 points. Nelson matched a game-high mark with 17 points headlined by a 4-7 effort from long range. She also reigned in five boards in 30 minutes of action. Bradford capped her night with 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists and a block, while Boddie and Green tallied 10 points apiece.
Lincoln Memorial finished the game with a 46.2% mark from the floor, highlighted by a 13-26 effort in the opening frame. However, turnovers plagued the Lady Railsplitters as they committed 25 blunders which were limited to only 13 points for the Lions. LMU took a narrow victory on the boards, edging Mars Hill 39-38. Aside from Bradford, Mariah Richardson led the Lady Railsplitters with six boards.
On the other end, the Lady Railsplitters limited the Lions to only a 39.4% effort from the field. Ansley Ricker matched Nelson's mark with 17 points despite an 8-18 mark. Armeka Booker notched a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds in only 17 minutes of play after sitting nearly all of the first half due to foul trouble. Autumn Ward chimed in with 11 points to round out the double-figure performances for the Lions.
Lincoln Memorial used 18 blunders by Mars Hill to score 20 points to win the battle of points off turnovers, however, they were narrowly outscored in the paint, as the Lions scored 30 to the Lady Railsplitters' 26 points inside the square.
The Lady Railsplitters will be back in action on Saturday, February 9th, as they are poised to host the Wolves of Newberry College in a South Atlantic Conference battle. That night will also serve as the annual Play 4Kay benefit with a night full of promotions geared towards raising funds for the Kay Yow Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at raising breast cancer awareness and seeking out a cure. The Lady Railsplitters and Wolves are set to duke it out at 6 pm in Tex Turner Arena.

Jade Holder, 19, died after being attacked in the Augusta Youth Development Campus. (WRDW-TV / Nov. 9, 2011)
Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The new year has brought changes to Augusta's Youth Development Campus.
Department of Juvenile Justice Commissioner Avery D. Niles announced on Monday that Interim Director Melvin Womble has been dismissed from his duties at the Augusta YDC.
Womble, who was the former assistant director of security, was named for the position following the resignation of former YDC Director Ronald Brawner in November 2012. He acted as as temporary director for two months while the DJJ Central Office launched an extensive search for a full-time replacement.
Commissioner Niles said in a press release, "During the joint DJJ-GBI investigation that followed the escape at the YDC, Interim Director Womble was made responsible for improving safety and security deficiencies in areas which lead to the escape. However, a serious youth assault also occurred on the YDC campus, which subsequently launched new investigations into problems with the timely reporting and incident coding of special incident reports at the facility."
Niles says a new director is expected to be named soon.
The Augusta YDC also has a new assistant director of security and a new captain of corrections officers.
Commissioner Niles says James L. Reid, the new assistant director of security, has a long enforcement and military background.
Donnell Collins, the new captain of corrections officers, comes from the Augusta area and has a military and juvenile justice background. He also has experience in DJJ Emergency Operations and Transportation and has worked as a corrections officer at DJJ's Metro Regional Youth Development Campuses and at both the Augusta YDC and RYDC.
Niles says he plans to introduce the new management team at an upcoming news conference.

Friday Tips #4
By Chris Kawalek-Oracle on Nov 30, 2012
It's time once again for our Friday tip. Our question today is about how to determine how much video RAM to allocate for your virtual machines in a VDI deployment:
How much video RAM do I really need on my VirtualBox VMs?
Answer by John Renko, Consulting Developer, Oracle:
The answer is in the VirtualBox admin guide but it's seldom followed correctly, usually resulting in excess unused RAM to be allocated. The formula for determining how much RAM to allocate is shown below for a 32 bit fullscreen 22" monitor supporting 1680x1050:
bit depth / 8 x horizontal res x vertical res / 1024 / 1024 = MB RAM
Which translates to:
32 bits / 8 x 1680 x 1050 / 1024 / 1024 = 6.7 MB
If you wanted to support dual 22" monitors, you would need twice that, so 13.4 MB.
Anything in excess of what is needed is readily allocated but not used and would be better suited for running more VMs!
Thanks John, that tip should help folks squeeze a little more out of their VDI servers. And remember, if you have a question for us, use hash tag #AskOracleVirtualization on Twitter.
We'll see you next week with another tip!

Lauryn Hill Released From Prison, Releases New Music
Lauryn Hill was released from a Connecticut prison today after serving three months for tax evasion, according to a representative for the Grammy-winning singer, rapper and actress.
In May, the singer was sentenced to three months in prison and an additional three months in home confinement with electronic monitoring after pleading guilty to failing to file tax returns over several years.
A representative for Hill wrote in a statement, "Ms. Hill was released today from federal prison in Danbury, CT after serving her sentence. She was released several days early based on a number of factors the Bureau of Prisons takes into consideration, including good behavior. She will now start today a one year period of probation with three months of home confinement during that year."
On the eve of her departure from prison, Ms. Hill released a new track titled "Consumerism," which features the musician rapping at a high speed about various issues.
According to message posted on the singer's Soundcloud, Ms. Hill "wanted to get this music out while she was incarcerated, as it is a product of the space she was in while she was going through some of the challenges she has been faced with recently."
You can listen to "Consumerism" here.

Arthritis and Gout
In this article
How Is Gout Diagnosed?
Gout cannot be diagnosed simply from a blood test, because many people have elevated blood uric acid levels but do not have gout. Rather, gout is diagnosed from the fluid of an inflamed joint. The fluid is observed under a microscope for uric acid crystals.
Fluid is removed through a needle during a procedure called arthrocentesis. Extracting the fluid not only aids in diagnosing the condition, but it may also reduce pressure within the joint, thereby reducing pain.
If crystals are not found in the fluid, the diagnosis of gout cannot be made with certainty. Occasionally, crystals may not be seen the first time, but may be seen if additional fluid is removed during a subsequent attack.
Since gout can cause chronic joint pain and involve other joints, it is extremely important that an accurate diagnosis be made so your doctor can prescribe the appropriate treatment.
How Is Gout Treated?
There is no cure for gout, but it can be treated and controlled. Symptoms often are relieved within 24 hours after treatment has begun.
The type of treatment prescribed will depend on several factors, including the person's age, type of medications he or she is taking, overall health, medical history, and severity of gout attacks. Gout attacks are mainly treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. These include:
- NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, are generally prescribed to treat sudden and severe gout attacks. They usually reduce inflammation and pain within hours.
- Corticosteroids (also called steroids), may be prescribed for people who cannot take NSAIDs. Steroids also work by decreasing inflammation. Steroids can be injected into the affected joint or given as pills.
- Colchicine is often used to treat gout and usually begins working within a few hours of taking it. This drug is used less often due to concerns about its side effects.
Long-term treatment of gout (to prevent attacks) involves medicine that lowers uric acid levels, such as Benemid, Uloric, or Zyloprim. Low doses of colchicine are also used to prevent attacks. These drugs are recommended for people who have had multiple attacks of gout, kidney stones due to uric acid, or tophi. The goal of lowering the blood uric acid is to slowly dissolve deposits of uric acid in the joint.

Location: Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research
Project Number: 2054-21220-004-01
Start Date: Jan 01, 2011
End Date: Dec 31, 2015
ARS is actively conducting research on the sugar beet, sugar beet production and extraction of beet sugar and other by-products. The BSDF, composed of most of the sugar beet seed companies, processors, grower-owned cooperatives, and suppliers in the United States, desires to provide direct and indirect research support to ARS. It is in the interest of both parties to continue their close working relationship so that research can be better directed toward meeting the needs of the United States and other nations, and can be more expeditiously accomplished at less cost. ARS and BSDF will work together to produce the highest quality basic and applied research to meet the changing demands of the sugar beet world market, and its customers and stakeholders by: 1. Promoting sugar beet research concerning the isolation of specific genes and the development of germplasm, which may be used effectively in breeding to develop hybrids and varieties that are resistant to various pathogens, regionally adapted, suitable for various cultural practices, superior in biochemical attributes, and storable with minimum deterioration. 2. Establishing technology whereby new genetic characters, inbred lines, or sugar beet germplasm established via ARS research may be brought into widespread use by breeders and growers promptly, efficiently and at less cost. 3. Promoting research to develop better disease management, through an increased understanding of sugar beet disease etiology and epidemiology and an elucidation of genetics of the sugar beet-pathogen-biocontrol agent interaction. 4. Increasing the understanding of the genetic and physiological basis of the development of the sugar beet plant, the storage of the harvested root, and the extraction of sucrose from the beet to be better able to maximize the efficiency in the processing of sugar beet to sucrose and other products. 5. Evaluating, characterizing, and utilizing available genetic resources (esp., in the USDA-ARS NPGS Beta PI germplasm collection) to determine the genetic diversity within sugar beet and pathogen populations, to better understand and manage important pathogens of sugar beet, and to produce enhanced germplasm more rapidly and more efficiently to meet the changing needs of seed companies and the growers they serve.

Shots Fired At Deputies; Reward Offered
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 11:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 11:38 p.m.
FROSTPROOF | A $5,000 reward has been offered after deputies said a home invasion suspect fired multiple shots at pursuing officers.
The chase about 2 a.m. Saturday involved four agencies — Lake Wales Police Department and the Polk, Highlands and Hardee county sheriff's offices.
Polk County deputies were on the lookout for two men, Eleno Suarez and Jesus Jaramillo, both 21, who are suspects in a July 22 armed home invasion in Frostproof,.
The Sheriff's Office is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Suarez, whose last known address is 70 W. Frostproof Baptist Church Road.
"We are asking for your help in locating a very dangerous subject," said Sheriff Grady Judd. "If you will shoot at armed deputies, you will shoot at anyone"
According to a news release, Polk deputies spotted Suarez near a Town Star convenience store at U.S. 27 and U.S. 98 in Frostproof. Suarez and five passengers in a Ford Focus fled with deputies giving chase.
During the pursuit, the driver, identified as Suarez, fired multiple shots at deputies, though none was injured. Suarez lost control of the car in the area of State Road 64 and U.S. 98 in Hardee, but he fled on foot. All five passengers were arrested and taken to Hardee County Jail. None was injured.
Suarez is considered armed and dangerous and faces charges of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. He is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall and 140 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information should contact deputies at 863-298-6200.
