The franchise was founded in 1969 and plays in the Western Division of the National League. San Diego Padres are also known as the Pads, the Friars, the Pad Squad, My Padres and the Fathers. The team played its home game at the San Diego Stadium since its formation till 2003 and later changed its home arena to PETCO Park where the team plays till present. "The Swinging Friar" is the team mascot of Padres and is a fun part at the games. The team wears a uniform with white, sand and dark blue color in it.
With a seating capacity of more than 42,000 spectators, 45,000 including the standing room and all the latest facilities and amenities for the teams and the audience, there couldn't have been a better home arena for the San Diego Padres than PETCO Park. Located in the Downtown San Diego, this open-air ball park was opened for the San Diego Padres in 2004. The grass field of the stadium makes a perfect pitch and the seating arrangement is made artistically to give a clear view from every direction. With all the concessional food stands and other facilities, PETCO Park is one of a kind.
The most winning year of the team has been 1998. Rivalry of San Diego Padres with St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks is the most famous and the games with these teams are the most fierce and exciting. Padres have produced some very fine players over the years which have entered their names in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Among the Baseball Hall of Famers are Rickey Handerson, Dick Williams, Tony Gwynn, Ozzie Smith, Dave Winfield, Rollie Fingers and Willie McCovey. Many players have also entered in the hall of fame of the team based on their excellent and unsurpassed performances and the success they brought to the team. Dave Winfield, Dick Williams, Randy Jones, Jerry Coleman, Nate Colbert and Tony Gwynn are the Padres who got inducted in the Hall of Fame of the San Diego Padres.
Under the supervision of the great coaches Darrel Akerfelds, Darren Balsley and Glenn Hoffman, all the members of the San Diego Padres are talented, efficient, physically fit and excellent players. Mike Adams, Heath Bell, Kevin Correia, Ernesto Frieri, Jon Garland, Luke Gregorio, Mat Latos, Wade Leblanc, Radhames Liz, Cory Luebke, Edward Mujica, Luis Perdomo, Aaron Poreda, Cesar Ramos, Clayton Richard, Adam Russell, Tim Stauffer, Joe Thatcher, Ryan Webb and Chris Young are the pitchers of the team while Nick Hundley and Yorvit Torrealba are the catchers. The infielders of the Padres are Everth Cabrera, David Eckstein, Adrian Gonzalez, Jerry Hairston Jr., Chase Headley, Miguel Tejada and Lance Zawadzki while Mike Baxter, Aaron Cunnigham, Chris Denorfia, Luis Durango, Tony Gwynn, Scott Hairston, Ryan Ludwick, Oscar Salazar, Matt Stairs and Will Venable are the outfielders of the San Diego Padres.
San Diego Padres is a team which has gone through many struggling times but has succeeded in carrying and maintaining its name in the Major League Baseball. San Diego Padres tickets have always been a phenomena in baseball seasons because this is a team which not only means a good game but much more. The baseball season seems a blessed season with a team as good as Padres and in a stadium as good as PETCO Park. The team keeps doing hard work for better performance and the next season comes with even better thrill than the previous. The line up of the team is also excellent and fans always keep high expectations from the team. The team keeps prepared for a standing in NL West and has a lot of potential. Keep an eye out for the start of the next Padres season and book San Diego Padres tickets in advance and it will be more thrilling as ever before. It is always good to cheer for this team!

Autism Speaks Calls on the National Community to Join Michigan Lt. Governor-Elect Brian Calley to "No Longer Remain Silent" on Autism Insurance Reform
Autism Speaks Calls on the National Community to Join Michigan Lt. Governor-Elect Brian Calley to "No Longer Remain Silent" on Autism Insurance Reform
Nation, families in Michigan need your help today to get autism insurance reform passed before the end of their session and to become the 24th state to pass this legislation. After four years, Michigan stands poised to finally join nearly half of the country in passing autism insurance reform legislation. The House has already passed the bill, but the State Senate must take up this issue before the end of the legislative session this week.
We are asking the national autism community to come together in support of this effort on behalf of Michigan families by taking just five minutes to call Michigan State Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop at (517) 373-2417. Urge him to please bring autism insurance reform to the floor for a vote before the end of the legislative session.
Michigan Lt. Governor-Elect Brian Calley and father of a daughter with autism has been an outspoken supporter of the autism insurance reform effort in the state. Watch his video and share it with friends across the country. Together we can join Lt. Governor-Elect Calley in saying "We will no longer remain silent."
For more information visit www.autismvotes.org/michigan.

Phone call made! Receptionist said she would add me 2 the request list which is MANY HUNDREDS LONG!! TY 2 ALL who took the minute 2 call!!!
November 29, 2010 at 5:28 pm
For those in MI (or elsewhere) who may not be aware of the process of getting insurance legislation passed, opposition is real, very well organized and funded by folks in the insurance industry and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the "Think Tanks" they support. One of the latter in Michigan just produced a "fact lite" piece on Michigan's autism insurance reform bill: "Just Keep Saying 'No' to Costly State Insurance Mandates. By Jack McHugh"
This particular piece, rather than inform, tries to scare readers by identifying ABA as "new" and "speculative" as well as studiously avoiding easily obtainable facts about the cost of this particular mandate. The author prefers to rile up his audience with an out of context quote about "mandates increasing health care costs…20-50%". It almost laughable in it's naivete but more likely it's disingenuous by design.
Please encourage your State legisators in Michigan to study the real facts about autism insurance reform, rather than listen to the folks who want insurers to continue to be able to discriminate against our kids.

I have been using q-cad for several years, both a purchased copy and the community version. I find it quite useful and have done a fair amount of work with it -- mostly hobby model machine design.
I use G-code a fair amount and thought cam expert would be worth a try.
I need better documentation. What little there is on line assumes too much previous knowledge at best.
I am most willing to rtfm if I had any notion of where to find one. Even a purchased manual if you have useful suggestions.
I installed and opened the demo. created a simple drawing. A circle with a leadin and leadout line. The leadin connects to the circle near the top, a bit to the left of center and goes off to the left an inch or so. The leadout connects near the top of the circle, a bit to the right and goes off an inch or two to the right.
This is approximatly what I would do with hand coded g-code to machine an outside circle.
Saved the drawing. Just the same as usual. Then I try to set the cut order. The g-code should start at the left end of the lead in line. Move to the tangent point on the circle. Go around the circle clockwise, a bit more than 360 degrees to clean up the end of the cut then pick up the leadout line at the tangent point and follow it out to the end.
When I try to order the entites then run the simulation, the order starts at the circle end of the lead in, goes to the outer end. Then follows the circle clockwise, as it should, then goes to the outer end of the leadout and cuts back to the circle.
What is the meaning of the different g-code options on the machine dropdown?
Where can I find documentation sufficent to modify the machine files?
Or, perhaps background study to understand the meaning of the existing documentation?
What is the meaning of clearance in this context.
I have no clue what "support layers" might mean here.
Likewise "Factor"
I'll try this set and see what I can do with the response.
Thanks in advance. If I can make this work, I'm willing to spend the $200+

This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
Recently the national media reported several news stories regarding the downfall of prominent athletes and celebrities.
Often, our society labels gifted athletes, musicians or public figures as role models for ourselves and for our children. When these personalities make poor choices, we are left to make sense of their actions, feeling less positive about our world.
Perhaps as we choose individuals to hold in high esteem, we should acknowledge the special people we come in contact with every day. Our ordinary heroes -- teachers, family members, friends and first responders. These are the people that ultimately influence our lives and our communities.
Take a moment to acknowledge the folks in your life who may not be world renowned athletes or celebrities, yet they are beacons of light, making good choices and deserving of our respect.

I continuously get "data not supported" or "date is corrupt" errors when I try to load up web streams via the web.conf file. One in particular:
Its an 256kb mpeg audio stream. Plays fine through the browser but doesn't work through PMS. The previous link worked great: audiostream.Web,Radio,Dutch,National,AVRO=Baroque around the Clock,http://shoutcast.omroep.nl:8068/listen.pls
Are there any guidelines for what will stream and what won't? Any additional plugins that can be adapted. I tried to use the VLC player and nothing was playable.
I am running version 1.72.0 and everything else seems to be working ok.

Apple to Dow Seen More Possible After Stock Split
Investors have long speculated about when Apple will be included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
So it's hardly surprising that Apple announcing an unusually large 7-for-1 stock split has prompted market observers to ask if the iPhone and iPad maker is positioning itself for inclusion in the Dow.
Apple, the biggest U.S. company by market cap, has never been part of the historic 30-stock index, a factor that many observers attributed to its high stock price. Once the split is completed, Apple could be a more attractive candidate for the Dow.
"Apple would now be the next logical tech stock to be included in the Dow," Toni Sacconaghi, senior analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., said in a chat with MoneyBeat. He said Apple's stock split "increases its chances" of getting added to the Dow.
The Dow is a price-weighted measure, meaning the bigger the stock price, the larger the sway for a particular component. That is different from indexes such as the S&P 500, which are weighted by market capitalizations (each company's stock price multiplied by shares outstanding).
David Guarino, a spokesman for S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that oversees the Dow, declined to comment on Apple and whether it will be considered for the Dow.
"Companies that are in the Dow should be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries," he said, while adding that changes to the Dow are usually made after major corporate events such as bankruptcies or acquisitions.
Some editors from The Wall Street Journal sit on the committee that chooses which stocks get added or taken out of the Dow.
A stock is added to the Dow if the company "has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors," S&P Dow Jones Indices said on its website.
Visa is the only Dow component that currently has a stock price above $200. Eight companies have stock prices above $100 as of Thursday's close.
Apple shares rose 8.2% to $567.77, the biggest gain in two years.
The split will increase the number of shares one holds by seven times while lowering the price accordingly. Based on the recent price, the split would price shares at $81.13. There are currently 15 Dow components that are priced higher than that amount and 15 that are priced lower.
"We're taking this action to make Apple stock more accessible to a larger number of investors," Apple CEO Tim Cook said Wednesday on a conference call with analysts.
An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
The impact of Apple being added to the Dow is debatable. Far fewer mutual funds and exchange-traded funds follow the Dow industrials than the S&P 500, which Apple joined in 1982.
Some $1.6 trillion in mutual funds and ETFs track the S&P 500, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices's calculations as of the end of 2013. That compares with just $30 billion that follows the Dow. Put another way, the S&P 500 ties up more than $50 for every $1 that chases the Dow, meaning it matters more to a company's share price to get included in the S&P 500 than the Dow.
That said, there is a prestige to getting added to the Dow.
"There is something marquee about being in the Dow, which I think is very subtle and hard to quantify but that may ultimately be beneficial for a company," Mr. Sacconaghi said.
In a study Mr. Sacconaghi conducted in 2012, he found that companies added to the Dow outperform the S&P 500 by 3% in the 30 days after the announcement. That suggests that there is some "incremental demand" for a stock once it gets included in the blue-chip average, he said.
Nike, Visa Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group were added to the Dow last year in the biggest shake-up of the 30-stock index since 2004. Alcoa, Hewlett-Packard and Bank of America were dropped.
Update: Dow Jones & Co. in April 2013 sold its remaining stake in CME Group Index Holdings LLC, which holds a minority stake in S&P Dow Jones Indices, a McGraw Hill Financial Inc. unit that publishes the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other indexes. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that Dow Jones, a unit of News Corp that publishes The Wall Street Journal, still owned a stake in the venture.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, Nov. 19, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Hundreds were on hand Monday for the annual James Brown Turkey Giveaway.
It is the generosity of the James Brown family and other community and civic leaders that ensures Stephanie Winters and others like her have a Thanksgiving turkey this year.
"It means a lot to me because I only get $300 in food stamps. Me and my husband, we had to have something, so this right here is a blessing from God and these people," Winters said.
Lines started forming at 6:30 a.m. More than 500 people registered for turkeys.
Deanna Brown says the registration system is a must, despite nagging questions.
"You know, why is she doing it this way? Well, Dad had the resources to do, 'Hey ... go get as many turkeys as we need.' And then there were times when he had lines out here and couldn't serve everybody," Brown said.
Like Winters, Lynn Jennings doesn't mind the registration process.
"In fact, I was surprised it went so fast," she said.
Jennings says she's just happy the James Brown family is continuing to proudly follow in the Godfather of Soul's footsteps.
"It's a blessing when the whole community can come together and this kicks off the thanksgiving season in Augusta, Ga., every year," she said.
The next stop is New York, where a giveaway is planned for Tuesday in Harlem.

Thanks Chris for all your work. Can't imagine how frustrated you were to not be able to play. I really like the format for this tournament. The *only* thing that possibly got overlooked was blocking the 9 tee first round. Apparently several people listen about as well as I do at player's meetings!
We're so lucky to have such a great group of guys to play with. Everyone was awesome and I take away something from everyone's game. Ben is so unbelievably talented, and I'm a huge fan of Farnsworth. Nice to see a few new guys moving up, Flaherty, Dan Lewis, Nate Mickelson, and TT moving WAY up. Dude is just throwing strong and making a TON of putts.

It's Day 2 of Boot Camp on "The X Factor" and only 60 acts remain. Now, we move on to the Battle Rounds ... um, oh wait. ... that's that OTHER singing show.
But it's basically the same idea: Performers are paired off and pitted against each other in head-to-head challenges. In this competition, however, there's not necessarily a "winner." One, or both, or neither could advance.
The tricky thing is that the pairs have to agree on what song they'll sing and on which parts they'll perform. That leads to conflict and we all know conflict equals drama.
"On this task," says Simon Cowell, "forget about friendships. Forget about nerves. It's one-on-one. By the end of this task, there will be only 24 acts left in this competition."
Those surviving this round move on to the judges' homes, where hopefully there will be slumber parties and all-night movie marathons. But we'll see. On with the duets:
-- Tara Simon, 27, vs. Jannel Garcia, 18 ("Landslide"): Tara, a vocal coach, basically steamrolls Jannel, going with a Stevie Nicks song the youngster really doesn't feel is her style. During the performance, a nervous-looking Jannel sticks with the mellow basics while Tara throws in a bunchy of runs. Simon doesn't get the song choice: "You didn't represent yourselves ... (and) I feel really bad for you, Jannel."
-- Beatrice Miller, 13, vs. Carly Rose Sonenclare, 13 ("Pumped Up Kicks"): Both girls pretty much shine on the Foster the People's song, but we'd have to give the edge to Carly Rose, who had the more powerful pipes. "From experience, like, it's so hard when you're that young," observes Demi Lovato.
-- David Correy, 26 vs. Vino Alan, 40 ("What's Going On"): These guys are roommates and friends, but, like Simon says, forget friendships. "Vino is my brother, but today I need to crush the competition," Correy says. David brings his soulful smoothness to the Marvin Gaye classic and Vino his gravelly grit. Vino, for some reason, thinks he blew it. He throws down his hat, storms off the stage and punches a wall. "He scares me a little bit," Britney says. Vino may be overreacting. Simon likes his voice and Demi points out that there's no one in the business like him right now.
-- Diamond White, 13, vs. Dinah Jane Hansen, 16 ("Stronger") -- The two teens from Southern California deliver a mellow take on Kelly Clarkson's hit with Dinah starting things out and Diamond finishing strong. "I loved them both," Britney says, but we'll go with Diamond.
-- Sister C vs. Lauren Jauregui, 16: We get only a short clip of this strange matchup that has a three-girl group going against a soloist. "I think Sister C's annoying," Britney says, but Simon senses she and Demi just might be jealous (or something?). "I think it's safe to say that you two girls don't want them and they don't want you," he says.
-- Brandon Hassan, 16, vs. Reed Deming, 13 ("Secrets"): Again, the clip is too short to judge as these Bieber wannabes go at it. Brandon seemed to be off-key.
-- Julia Bullock, 18, vs. Ally Brooke, 19 ("Knocking On Heaven's Door"): We'll take Ally. Brooke sounded atrocious.
-- Willie Jones, 17, vs. Tate Stevens, 37 ("Nobody Knows It But Me"): The country crooners go at it on the Babyface song. We've loved Willie from the start, but he stumbles on the lyrics and Tate comes through with smooth conviction. Afterwards, Willie is asked who picked the song. Not him. "I think Tate hustled him," L.A. Reid says. A tearful Willie says he feels like he blew his chance.
-- Arin Ray, 16, vs. Normani Hamilton, 16 ("What Makes You Beautiful"): The first mixed-gender duet has Ray, last year's Intensity castoff, going against a girl he's been flirting with. They hug afterwards and the judges like them both. "My heart just melted," Demi says of Arin.
-- Jillian Jensen, 19, vs. Latasha Robinson, 27 ("Stay"): The softspoken Jillian fears she might get blown away by Latasha, who has a dominant personality. But Latasha immediately screws up the lyrics on the Sugarland song and starts crying. Jillian, to her credit, tries to help her out, but Latash is toast. Jillian takes advantage to completely kick ass.
"I humiliated myself in front of those judges," Latasha says, choking back the tears. "... A 19-year-old girl just stood there and outshined me."
Several more singers botch the lyrics on their songs, including Freddie Combs, Nick Youngerman, One4Five, Jordan Shane and Jessie Bryant. Several of them are shown bawling and our poor Britney even starts to cry. This boot camp is turning into a blubber-fest.
-- Cece Frey, 21 vs. Paige Thomas, 21 ("Secrets"): The producers aren't dumb. They've matched up these two leggy divas, who already went at it Wednesday on Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and made for some good TV. Now, they square off on the One Republic tune and both girls are emotional before even they even start, talking about how much they want this. They both get through the song and have their moments, but it's not without flaws.
"They look exhausted. I've never seen anyone look so tired in my life," Simon says. Britney likes Paige. Simon says he likes them both. We have no idea who'll they'll pick because we have to wait until next week. Of course.

Shooting schools, with professional shooting coaches, are a growth market these days. A current annual shotgun publication lists 22 pages of shooting schools, with five to eight individual school ads per page. That's a heap of help for struggling shooters.
The big question is, can attending such a school help waterfowlers become better shots in the field?
The basic answer is yes. Competent coaching will improve shooting skills far faster than the trial-error training path many of us have followed most of our shooting careers. The best of these schools, for hunters, are those that focus on basic shotgun skills.
Back to basics? You groan. Not again!
I'm afraid so. It is usually flawed fundamentals that foul up seasonal shotgunners, including many hunters. Recently, I substantially benefited from a very short session with Gil and Vicki Ash of OSP Shooting School.
While shooting under expert eyes, I relearned some old and established shotgunning concepts from new perspectives. I found that I had developed some bad shooting habits by trying to compensate for eroded shooting skills due both to lack of practice and the slowing reflexes of age. My own particular sin was trying to use a fast swing to make up for sloppy gun mount and poor target perception and acquisition. Vicki Ash picked up on this from my first shot (which, incidentally, was a hit, if not a pretty one.)
"Mount and move" is the OSP mantra, the idea being that a smooth, accurate gun mount and swing are critical for shotgunning success. Calculation of lead, or forward allowance, is not heavily stressed. "If your mount is uniform, if your point is accurate, and if your swing is smooth, actual lead-length is very forgiving," according to Gil Ash. "Long leads and rushed swings are results of poor basic shooting form."
The OSP instructors stress early target acquisition and focused perception. Students are urged to look at the forward edge of the target, not the whole thing. "The most common mistake hunters make is to mount the gun and then look for a target," Gil Ash says. "You need to pick out and really see your target first. You should also start pointing the gun's muzzle toward the target as you start the mounting process. This is a learned skill that makes mounting and pointing so efficient that the need for raw speed is greatly reduced."

SANTA CLARA — Prior to Eric Wright's retirement Tuesday, he was asked last week to move into the 49ers' nickel cornerback role and subsequently never showed, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Wednesday.
That role covering slot receivers remains a primary concern.
The 49ers, of course, used their first-round draft pick on Jimmie Ward to fill that position vacated by Carlos Rogers' offseason departure.
But foot surgery in March has kept Ward off the practice field, including at this week's mandatory minicamp. Hence, Fangio isn't ready to pencil in Ward as the nickel cornerback for the Sept. 7 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
"I don't think you can assume that," Fangio said. "He's going to certainly get every opportunity to, but he's missed all this time, he's learning, he's a rookie, etc. We'll all have to be a little patient with him."
While Fangio noted that Ward is doing "fine" in the classroom, the nickel cornerback duties have been handled at practice by Perrish Cox and Darryl Morris.
"When you're skipping the practice part, you're skipping the most important part," Fangio said. "(Ward) has done everything he can under the circumstances to learn our defense and improve. But he's got to go play."
Ward is expected to be unleashed once he reports with other rookies to training camp next month.
As for Wright's surprising departure, Fangio said he hadn't talked to the seven-year veteran and was unaware why he chose to retire; Wright issued a statement that he had lost passion for the game and wanted to spend more time with his family.
"I feel good about the guys that are here," said Fangio, singling out Brock's experience as a starter last season and Chris Culliver's action in 2011-12
Fangio noted that Culliver's 2013 knee injury is "going to be a wild card in his progress."
"We do have to find a nickel back," Fangio added. "Anytime you lose two corners in Rogers and (Tarell) Brown, guys who have basically played every play here for three years other than when they had a nick, somebody's got to step up and replace them. We think we can get those guys from this group."

So can anything be done before someone else is hurt or killed?
"The only way you are going to hit the entire Lake of the Ozarks is if something happens at the county or state level that would require that," Bachman said.
While nothing has happened yet, many are wondering if something should.
"Brian and I will be moving forward with ensuring that safety procedures are in place so people recognize the dangers," said Angela Anderson.
As things stand now, the question remains: Are we going into this summer safer than last year?
"I think absolutely we are," said Bachman. "Every day we are out doing dock inspections, that's one less dock we feel is a hazard on the lake."
"It will be a lot safer this summer because a lot more people are aware," added Nicholson.
While dock safety is slowly improving, the Andersons hope a tragedy as terrible as theirs will never happen to anyone else.
"It didn't have to happen," said Angela. "That waters are safe around docks in the state of Missouri in honor of Alexandra and Brayden."
Fire departments told ABC 17 News that docks should be inspected annually. At this point, no laws or regulations have changed when it comes to dock safety.
Ameren will be sending a letter to all dock owners at the end of May explaining safety precautions. They also have detailed instructions on their website of how to keep a dock safe and up to current code.
There is a fire inspection checklist, so dock owners can be sure their docks pass inspection.
Ameren will be holding a seminar for electricians at Tan-Tar-A Resort. For more information, contact the company.

Is Europe truly ready for a bioeconomy?
09.07.2012 - Bioeconomy is the new health, and that is official. You only have to look at all the planning for Horizon 2020 and all the big words coming out of politicians at national and European levels to see that. But is Europe really ready or willing to embrace what it will take to replace existing technologies with new, bio-driven ones?
Let's look at one example: biofuels. We're talking about a sector where the global players in fuel production and oil supply are not bit players. They dominate the global economy, and sit at the right hand of presidents and prime ministers. None of these organisations have made a significant shift into biofuels. A fraction of the money spent on discovery programmes transferred into bio-fuel production would revolutionise global production and supply. But do you think that they are going to make it easy for other organisations to change policy and start eroding market share?
There is also no escaping the fact that new technologies will need significant public funds to create a platform from which to grow. They are not going to make it on a purely commercial basis. Opponents already harp on this, forgetting the massive subsidies – disguised or otherwise – that other energy industries have soaked up over the years. Solar panels are the perfect example here. Look what happened to the sector when subsidies were cut by cash-strapped governments.
Are European governments going to create this funding? It will have to be big, sustained and commit to a new energy platform over others. Interestingly, biofuel production from crops will have to take place close to the source of the crops. The economics don't add up to ship carbon sources long distance, so you are producing locally for local consumption. That changes the game for energy production, turning it from a global market into a national one, which makes for interesting prospects in Europe. Will we invest in national production infrastructure and realign our agricultural production to supply facilities? This goes far beyond nice words about reducing dependence on fossil fuels. It requires wholesale commitment.
It works in economies with massive crop waste supplies and little or no domestic oil/gas industry. This could point to regions other than Europe as the future for biofuel production. And the irony is that these countries will embrace GM crops that improve fuel production from crop waste, where Europe is still having hissy fits about potatoes for starch production.
This could be a revolution in Europe, but we will need to seize it with both hands and make major changes to the agricultural production system across all countries, expanding farm to fork to include farm to fuel-tank. Think we can handle that?http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/people/heard-in-brussels/2012/is-europe-truly-ready-for-a-bioeconomy.html

About the Book
"A wonderful new mystery series that will let us see the horrors of World War I through the eyes of Bess Crawford, battlefield nurse."
—Margaret Maron
"Readers who can't get enough of Jacqueline Winspear's novels, or Hester Latterly, who saw action in the Crimean War in a series of novels by Anne Perry, are bound to be caught up in the adventures of Bess Crawford."
—New York Times Book Review
The critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author of the Ian Rutledge mystery series, Charles Todd once again spotlights World War I nurse Bess Crawford in An Unmarked Grave. Gripping, powerful, and evocative, this superb mystery masterwork unfolds during the deadly Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918, as Bess discovers the body of a murdered British officer among the many dead and sets out to unmask a craven killer.
Even deadlier than the bloody engagements on the battle-scarred fields of France, the Spanish influenza epidemic in the spring of 1918 is bringing hundreds of new patients to World War I battlefield nurse Bess Crawford. But war and disease are not the only killers to strike with cold and brutal efficiency.
Concealed among the countless dead waiting for burial is the body of an officer whose end was not hastened by a German bullet or an airborne virus. This soldier was murdered, and his death touches Bess deeply, for he was a family friend who once served in her father's regiment.
Falling ill herself before she can report the heinous crime, Bess recovers too late to consult with the only other witness, who, by all official accounts, has since hanged himself. Bess refuses to let a killer escape justice, though her persistence turns an assassin's attention in her direction. Or is she already his next target?

Grand Soviet Scheme for Sharing Water in Central Asia Is Foundering
By MICHAEL WINES
Published: December 9, 2002
NUKUS, Uzbekistan— Forty years ago, when Uzbekistan was part of the Soviet Union, the Kremlin ordained a colossal task: to turn this heat-puckered land and four of its neighbors, a swath of desert and scrub as big as Western Europe, into an irrigated cotton plantation.
Improbably, it succeeded.
From the mountainous Chinese border to the Caspian Sea, the Soviet Union remade the two grand rivers of Central Asia, building 20,000 miles of canals, 45 dams and more than 80 reservoirs. The government turned sand and dust into one of the world's great cotton-growing regions.
But the Soviet Union is long dead. And here in western Uzbekistan and in areas of its four neighbors, one of socialism's most grandiose schemes is being sundered by capitalism, nationalism and a legacy of waste.
Without a bigger supply of water -- or better use of it -- an economic and social crisis seems to be awaiting the region of 58 million people, already racked by Islamic insurgencies and tamed by oppressive rule.
On a dusty plain outside this regional capital, one farmer, Yerken Kharpov, unshaven and lean in blue nylon track pants, looked out at the 80 acres of state-owned farmland that he tends, and tallied the misery. In 2000, his entire crop died for lack of water. In 2001, again lacking water, he grew but 10 acres of cotton. This spring, he tried again, with 15 acres of cotton and sunflowers.
Mr. Kharpov could give up, as he did three years ago, when he was a 28-year-old millworker, but without water, it is much harder to start fresh. ''There are no other jobs,'' he said. ''Where would I go?''
Mr. Kharpov's question is Central Asia's. ''We talk about the developing world and the developed world,'' said Sarah O'Hara, a geographer at the University of Nottingham, England, who has studied the water problems here. ''This is the deteriorating world.''
The five nations at work here -- Uzbekistan along with its arid neighbors, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, and two mountainous ones, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan -- have drunk dry the natural flow of two great rivers, the Amu and the Syr.
Not Enough to Go Around
The craving for water has turned the Aral Sea, once the world's sixth-largest inland ocean, into a shrunken, dust-shrouded necklace of lifeless brine lakes.
Still, the nations are thirsty. Their demand for water already exceeds the entire annual flow of the two rivers by 25 percent. Adding to the pressure, Afghanistan, whose right to river water was ignored during Taliban rule, is poised to reclaim a share of the bigger river, the Amu.
The five neighbors have swelling populations -- growing 15 percent a decade, with a third of the residents 13 or younger. That presents their governments with the challenge of creating more jobs and growing more food, even as the water supply is divided ever more thinly.
They also are not keeping up the waterworks, causing more waste. In Soviet times, the Kremlin spent at least $60 an acre every year to keep the water systems in repair. Uzbekistan currently spends less than $25 an acre; Tajikistan, reeling from civil war, spends $4.
One result is an irrigation network beset by staggering waste. Now in disrepair, some parts waste more water than they deliver.
The Karakum Canal, an 837-mile man-made river in the Turkmenistan desert, appears from the air as a thin line fringed by a miles-wide band of weeds. The government admits that 28 percent of its water vanishes into the sands. Scientists put the figure closer to 60 percent.
The region grew used to free water, in profligate supply. One example is in the tiny village of Dzhalagash, along Kazakhstan's shadeless southern border not far from the Syr's banks. Here the rainfall averages just 5.9 inches a year, yet the preferred crop is rice.
Zhakhslyk Kabyrov, who runs a former Soviet collective farm, hired Korean advisers this year to help cut water consumption in his 250-acre rice plot. Still, he reckons he will use a stunning 740 million gallons, enough to fill 1,300 Olympic swimming pools, to flood paddies with ankle-deep water to produce the rice.
He can consume so much because rice is a profitable staple of local diets, and water, at about 65 cents per swimming pool, is ridiculously cheap. Arid Kazakhstan grows an astounding 160,000 acres of rice -- 250 square miles of nothing but flooded paddies.
Uzbeks grow almost as much.
An obvious solution to such excess is to raise the price of water. But that could wipe out an entire class of small farmers who comprise a future capitalist class, while enriching the already wealthy. Moreover, controls over water use are so loose, thanks in part to ramshackle equipment, that fee dodging would probably be rampant. ''If you were trying to save water, you wouldn't grow rice,'' said Philip Micklin, a retired University of Michigan geographer and a specialist on Central Asian water. ''But look, it's a management problem. Everyone makes choices. And sometimes it's not even choices, it's who grabs the most.''
A Regional Trade-Off
That is not how things were supposed to work. Instead, the Kremlin conceived an elegant trade-off, linking the mountains rich in wild rivers and glaciers with the arid plains, rich in gas, coal and oil.
And so, in the winter, the plains would send fuel to the mountains; in return, the mountains would hoard river water, then send it downstream for crops in the spring and summer.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) -- A bill on its way through the State Senate would impact the duties of coroners statewide and enable coroners to arrive on the scene of a death sooner.
House Bill 1097 would require law enforcement officers to make all reasonable efforts to allow the coroner to gather time-sensitive information, such as body and scene temperature.
Mesa County Deputy Coroner Kim Hollingshead said having this ability is crucial for performing an accurate death investigation.
"Once death occurs, things start to change with the body, so we need to be able to identify that," he said. "Oftentimes, there are things at a scene that need to be collected that law enforcement is responsible for collecting. If we have the ability to see that before it's collected and understand where it is in relation to the body, that's very helpful."
The bill also repeals a current statute allowing a coroner to request a physician perform a scientific examination, rather than the coroner.
Hollingshead said Mesa County is ahead of the game due the relationship between the coroner's office and area law enforcement.
"They almost always call us immediately upon arrival at the scene and making it safe, and that's what the house bill says," Hollingshead said. "It's the law enforcement's responsibility to provide scene safety, and it's our responsibilities as coroners to assist law enforcement with the investigation of a suspicious death."
The bill also outlines additional duties for coroners, such as taking possession of a suicide note if present, taking custody of any prescription medications found with the body, and reporting each child fatality to the Department of Human Services and the county Department of Social Services.
Hollingshead said he and Dean Havlik, Mesa County Coroner, are already doing each of those proposed responsibilities.
The bill passed its second Senate reading today and is awaiting final approval.

EAGLE COUNTY - Ascher Robbins will go to the movies again, of course. But next time, he'll pay attention to where he's sitting and where the exits are.
Robbins, who grew up in the valley and now attends law school at the University of Colorado, was at least two counties away from the early Friday morning shooting at an Aurora movie theater showing the latest "Batman" movie. But he did attend a 1 a.m. show in Boulder.
After the movie, he got home and got online to see if there were some plot points he missed. That's when he saw the first notice of the shooting.
"I got home about 4 a.m. and ended up staying up 'til about 6 a.m.," Robbins said. "I'm sure it was because of what happened."
What happened in Aurora was, and is, unbelievable in any number of ways. But for someone who was at a similar show, that unbelievability is even more keen.
Robbins said mass shootings often bring out anxiety and more in some people.
Henry Goetze, a psychologist with an office in Avon, said talking about horrific events can be difficult, but it's important. Friends and family members need to be helpful however they can, Goetze said, even if that means just holding someone's hand or providing a hug.
When kids want to know about these events, Goetze said adults need to "lead them gently to understanding" the event.
"Offer reassurance the child is safe and this isn't something that's at the front door," he said.
Local ministers can help guide congregation members through tough times, too.
Father Brooks Keith, pastor of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, was off camping with his family Friday. In a phone message, he said he and others at the church will be offering special prayers for healing. He said he and other ministers, here and in Aurora, will be "doing what Christians do - reaching out to others."
While many churches will be praying for healing, Pastor Kari Reiquam of First Lutheran Church in Gypsum said it's important to recognize events like the Aurora shooting for what they are - examples of real evil the world.
While we can offer comfort to each other, Reiquam said we also need to use tragedy to learn and grow - as people and as a culture.
"We have a terrible mental health system in this country - we have terrible gun laws," Reiquam said. "We saw it in Columbine, and I don't think much has changed."
Reiquam added that a shooting in a theater poses the danger of taking away a place people gather. In a world where people seem to be isolating themselves from each other, that's a great loss, she said.
"I hope we'd find a way to re-connect with each other," she said.

Here's a quick mental checklist to run through before you head out for a ride:
· Never go out alone; use the buddy system and ride with someone else.
· Know your limits, don't overdo it, and ride according to your abilities.
· Ride only in areas open to your type of PWC.
· Be on constant alert for other boats and watercraft, especially sailboats.
· Wear your personal flotation device (PFD) and other safety gear (see The Right Stuff).
· Never ride at night. PWC are not equipped with lights.
· If you fall off your PWC, always reboard from the rear.
There's no such thing as having too much information when it comes to safe, responsible off-road riding. And between...
Taking your PWC out on the ocean or on your local lake or river, or towing a wakeboarder, skier or inflatable...
Riding a personal watercraft is definitely a blast, but it can also be very challenging and should always be taken seriously.

Certified Public Accountant J. Elbert Bivins IV recently received a professional designation by the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA). The designation of Certified Construction Industry Financial Professional (CCIFP) is the only industry recognized certification that a financial professional can obtain demonstrating a specialized knowledge in the construction industry. This knowledge is important when supplying financial statements to sureties and banks as well as helping contractors handle complex revenue recognition methods for both industry specific tax and financial reporting purposes.
J. Elbert Bivins, CPA, CCIFP, is a partner in Bivins and Bunyak CPAs, PLLC, with offices in Denver and Avon. Jon Bunyak and Reed Sellers of the firm have also earned this designation. Elbert has 10 years of public accounting experience. As the construction industry is rebuilding from the recent downturn, Elbert noticed the financial needs for these clients were also changing. He sought the designation to help assist contractors with their financial relationships and prepare for tax reporting opportunities.
"Successful contractors want and need more specialized financial assistance to insure profits and build a strong company that can handle fluctuation in the economy," said Bivins. "I want to provide the highest level of expertise and this designation and knowledge gives my clients an edge to help them become leaders as the construction industry rebuilds."
The CFMA is a national organization dedicated to promoting excellence and best practices in construction financial management. The CCIFP certification validates the experience and knowledge of the construction financial professional. The CCIFP designation is given to professionals who meet the organization's formal education requirements, professional requirements, verification of work experience and adherence to the ICCIFP's Code of Ethics and has passed the CCIFP examination. More information on the Institute of Certified Construction Industry Financial Professionals can found at www.iccifp.org.

|Offensive Coordinator-Offensive Line
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:
|6 Years
The impact Keith Clark has had on the Dartmouth offense, particularly the offensive line, cannot be overstated. During his five years on the Big Green sideline, the running game has been one of the strongest in the Ivy League, while the pass blocking has ranked among the best in the FCS.
A coaching veteran of 29 years in the college ranks, including 23 in the Ivy League, Clark took an offensive line comprised mostly of underclassmen and molded them into a formidable front that paved the way for Nick Schwieger '12 to lead the Ivy League in rushing yards per game for three straight years and set the school career rushing record. With two-time All-Ivy First Team selection Ryan O'Neill anchoring the line, Clark's crew surrendered less than a sack per game in both 2010 and 2011. In 2012, Dartmouth ranked 33rd in passing, then followed that up by ranking 18th in rushing (best in the Ivy League). Last year the Green averaged over 30 points a game for the first time in over two decades while placing two lineman on the All-Ivy First Team in both 2013 and '14, anchored by Scotty Whitmore.
Clark spent 12 seasons (1997-2008) on the sidelines at Yale, first as the offensive line coach before being elevated to associate head coach in 2003. He also spent time as the Bulldogs' offensive coordinator as Yale broke 75 school offensive records. Clark helped Yale to an overall record of 70-49 and two Ivy Championships (1999 and 2006). No less than 11 Bulldog offensive linemen earned first-team All-Ivy honors under his watchful eye.
Clark got his start in the Ivy League at Columbia, spending five years with the Lions as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator. He also oversaw the strength program and team travel as part of his duties. In his final season at Columbia, the Lions posted a record of 8-2, their best showing in 50 years.
Coach Clark with wife, Kristen, and son, Kaelan.
Prior to his Ivy League service, Clark spent three seasons at Wagner College as the offensive line coach, recruiting coordinator, special teams coordinator and strength coach. The Seahawks posted a 16-13 mark with Clark on the staff. He coached for single seasons at Rutgers as a graduate assistant in 1988, Maine as the Black Bears won the Yankee Conference and advanced to the I-AA playoffs, and his alma mater, Lafayette in 1986. In addition, he was the head coach of the Bolzano Jets in Italy for two seasons, posting an overall mark of 21-6.
Clark has been a member of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) since 1987 and was chairman of the FCS Assistant Coach's Committee for four years. Clark has been active in the community as well, participating in Reading for Elementary Schools Program and Middle School Football Mentoring Program.
A 1985 graduate of Lafayette with a bachelor's degree in metallurgical engineering, Clark was a three-year starter at offensive left tackle for the Leopards, plus wrestled for two years.
Clark and his wife, Kristen, have one son, Kaelan.
Recruiting Area: Ohio, Pennsylvania (Western) (412) (724) (814) (878) (484) (570) (717), West Virginia

USA, 2012, 76 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Biographical, Documentary, Family Issues, MusicLanguage: English
Director Gary Keys brings a personal touch to this documentary, a celebration of the late entertainer's extraordinary talent and legendary musical family. Sadly, it also includes never-before-seen footage of Houston's funeral earlier this year. Keys chronicles Houston's career and rise to stardom, featuring inspirational concert footage, and intimate interviews with Houston and her family. A frequent Denver festival guest since 1982, Keys has brought his music documentaries including Memories of Duke, 42nd Street: River to River, and Count Basie: Then as Now, Count's the King.
Keys has been filming members of Houston's family since he produced her aunt Dionne Warwick's first concert at Lincoln Center in 1967. His rapport with the family is apparent as he traces their musical history. It all started with the Drinkard Sisters, a gospel group that included Dionne's mother, Dee Dee. As Houston tells it, "There was always gospel music in the house." In keeping with family tradition, Houston began to harmonize with her mother, Cissy, at a young age, and at 14 she was offered a recording contract. Cissy insisted she graduate from high school first.
Voices of Love showcases the family's musical influence through archival and contemporary performance footage. Keys includes Warwick's 1960s concerts at the Apollo Theater, some of her early recording sessions, and TV appearances with Burt Bacharach. We also see Houston in duet with Natalie Cole, and her Super Bowl rendition of the national anthem, plus interviews and performances from musical greats Aretha Franklin and Roberta Flack. In a candid segment with Oprah Winfrey, Houston addresses her troubled marriage to Bobby Brown. Even though the film documents Houston's untimely death, her funeral, and an emotional eulogy by actor Kevin Costner, it never fails to celebrate the power of music and the legacy of this influential family.

Funeral service scheduled for George Beverly Shea
Published: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 10:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 10:39 a.m.
MONTREAT, N.C. (AP) — The public is invited to the celebration of the life, music and ministry of Christian singer George Beverly Shea.
Services are scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday at Anderson Auditorium at the Montreat Conference Center.
Shea died Tuesday at the age of 104. He'll be laid to rest in a private service on the grounds of the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte on Monday. The library and grounds will be closed to the public during the service and will reopen on Tuesday.
Shea's rendition of "How Great Thou Art" was well known by a generation of Protestants who Graham evangelized. Shea joined Graham's crusade team in 1947 and stayed until Graham's declining health ended most of his public appearances nearly 60 years later.

About the Book
I Married the Duke begins the Prince Catchers series by Katharine Ashe, award-winning author of historical romance.
Arabella Caulfield, one of three orphaned sisters, has clung to an ancient gypsy prophecy as the only way to save her family from endless heartbreak. Now she has twelve days to reach a remote French castle and fulfill her destiny: to marry a prince.
Along the way, Arabella meets Lucien Westfall, decorated naval captain and the new Duke of Lycombe. She thought he was a pirate. He thought she was a governess. Two wrongs have never made such a scandalously perfect right.
Readers of Regency romances and the works of Eloisa James and Lisa Kleypas will fall in love with the Prince Catchers books by Katharine Ashe.
Three very different sisters beguile society with their beauty and charm, but only one of them must fulfill a prophecy: marry a prince. Who is the mystery Prince Charming, and which sister will be his bride?
On the way to marry a prince in a castle, a lady should never:
- Bribe an infuriatingly arrogant and undeniably irresistible ship captain,
- Let him kiss her senseless on a beach,
- Battle thieves at his side,
- Exchange wedding vows with him, even under the direst circumstances.
But daring, determined Arabella Caulfield isn't just any lady. And Luc Westfall is no typical ship captain. He's the new Duke of Lycombe, and to defeat a plot that could destroy his family he must have an heir. Now he knows just the woman for the job . . . and he's not above seduction to turn this would-be princess into a duchess.

Record Staff
On Monday, June 3, USD 460 held a regularly scheduled board meeting.
• Site Council Reports from each building were presented in written form.
• Administrators were present to respond to questions from the Board regarding their monthly reports and the Site Council reports.
Clint Stoppel reported that supplemental assignments for fall activities should all be filled soon.
• Superintendent Paul Becker updated the Board on legislative action regarding sales and other taxes for the State budget. Becker noted the sales tax, at 6.5 percent, will raise $7.7 million for the state.
Legislation to prevent implementation of the Common Core Standards (College and Career Ready Standards) in public schools did not pass.
"The Senate voted to get rid of Common Core. The House voted to keep it. We are keeping Common Core. We have been working with curriculum for two years and were already moving toward the new standards," said Becker.
The district received a refund from KASB Workers Compensation Fund.
Next year, there will be a reduction in USD 460 Title I funding, in the amount of $744.
"Basically, we felt good that that's all we lost. I thought we could lose $2,000 to $3,000. We get about $70,000 in Title 1 funds. It was a fairly minimal loss," said Becker.
The auditor will be at USD 460 on June 20 to help close out FY2013. An end-of-year meeting of the Board will be held June 21, 7 a.m.
An update of summer projects currently in progress was given.
"Summer projects are moving along. The Pit Stop floor had some water leakage underneath. We are having to do a little more than we thought. They have started on kitchen floor and making good progress and will be done soon. Re-striping parking lot is still on for July," said Becker.
• Proposed board of education meeting dates for FY2014 were reviewed. Board members were encouraged to check their calendars for the annual organizational meeting on July 8.

Fake friend used in order to get out of a conversation with boys. She is short and has yellow hair. She constantly needs her friends, has a birthday at least once a weekend, and is in the bathroom if you get called out by guys from a previous conversation in which you said you were going to go find her. She is always the first one to arrive and depart a party. She is very adaptable, flexible to any situation, and has tons of connections.
Mid-conversation with boys you are not interested in, "OMG, Brittany, we have to go find Kelly! She is going to be so mad we left her!"

Definition of trabecula in English:
noun (plural trabeculae /trəˈbɛkjʊliː/)
1 Anatomy Each of a series or group of partitions formed by bands or columns of connective tissue, especially a plate of the calcareous tissue forming cancellous bone.
Example sentences
- The cistern is traversed by delicate connective tissue trabeculae, which bridge across the interval between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater.
- In such calculations, however, bone matrix is usually approximated as an isotropic material, and anisotropic mechanical properties result from a preferred orientation of the trabeculae in cancellous bone.
- Histologic study demonstrated a fibro-osseous lesion with woven bone trabeculae and bland-looking fibrous tissue.
2 Botany Any of a number of rod-like structures in plants, e.g. a strand of sterile tissue dividing the cavity in a sporangium.
Example sentences
- No dots can be detected in the vacuoles but the tonoplast and the transvacuolar trabeculae of cytoplasm are labelled demonstrating that actin is present at this level.
- Special attention was paid to the structure and pattern of the distribution of septal trabeculae.
- Locally there are 'hints' of a parallel fibrous, possibly spicular, structure in the normally irregularly crystalline microstructure of the trabeculae.
trabecular adjective
- Example sentences
- With a dental curette, the trabecular bone was scraped out of both cortical shells, combined and put into 5% trichloroacetic acid.
- Furthermore, no immunostained cells are detectable even in the solid and trabecular patterns within some canalicular adenomas, again contrasting with the basal cell adenoma variants with similar patterns.
- The spongy appearance is misleading, because careful examination of the architecture reveals a highly organized trabecular system providing maximal structural support with minimal density of bony tissue.
- Example sentences
- The teeth are equally thickened and less prominently trabeculate on both adaxial and abaxial sides.
- Octoblepharum cylindricum differs from O. albidum by its longer setae, cylindrical capsules, entire leaf apices, and strongly trabeculate peristome teeth.
- The capsule lacks stomata and on the outside has a trabeculate appearance due to the outermost cells having thickened lateral walls.
Mid 19th century: from Latin, diminutive of trabs 'beam, timber'.
