The future of Rolando McClain is an open question, but at present, he remains the middle linebacker of the Raiders.
McClain worked with the first team Tuesday during the Raiders' organized team activity, and he appears to have the support of coach Dennis Allen as well as his teammates in the wake of his conviction last week on misdemeanor counts in Decatur, Ala., of assault, illegal discharge of a firearm, menacing and reckless endangerment.
Sentenced to 180 days in jail and fined $2,000 by a municipal court judge, McClain is free to play football pending his appeal to a circuit court, which would include a trial by jury.
McClain's first comments since his conviction were limited to a brief statement he delivered to the assembled media Tuesday:
"I'm aware of the bad publicity that I've given the Raiders,'' McClain said. "I talked with Coach Allen. I have the support of the Raiders, my teammates as well as the coaching staff. I apologize for the bad publicity that's been put out there.
"I can't really talk much about it, but it will be resolved in the near future.''
The Decatur Daily reported, however, a jury trial wouldn't take place until six to nine months after McClain's arraignment, which has yet to be set.
There is still the matter of whether the NFL will suspend McClain under its personal conduct policy. League spokesman Greg Aiello said after McClain's conviction that the NFL would let the legal process run its course before deciding whether to impose discipline.
In the meantime, it's business as usual for McClain.
"Rolando's part of our family, he's part of our team,'' Allen said. "We're going to let the whole process play out before we do anything, and once the whole legal proceedings are finished, then we'll determine what if any action we need to take."
Since McClain's involvement in the Nov. 30 incident predated the arrival of the new regime headed by general manager Reggie McKenzie and Allen, the club might not impose any discipline of its own.
"I think all the players understand what we expect out of them,'' Allen said. "I think the thing we've also got to understand is that we're starting anew. We're not going to take into account past sins necessarily for everybody's actions.''
If McClain is carrying the weight of a potential jail sentence on his shoulders, he is hiding it well.
Allen said he has been pleased with McClain's leadership and command of the defensive huddle. He praised McClain as being ahead of the curve in learning a new defensive system despite missing last week's OTAs during his trial.
McClain had offseason stem cell injections to treat a knee problem in hopes of increased mobility.
"I've been pleased with everything I've seen out of Rolando this whole offseason,'' Allen said.
Free safety Michael Huff, whose locker is next to McClain's, said the linebacker appears outwardly unaffected.
"I've talked to him a lot, with all this going on, trying to make sure his head is straight," Huff said. "The main thing is to let everything play itself out. We have no control over it, so all we can do is be there for him."
Travis Goethel, a third-year player and backup middle linebacker, said, "He's going through a bad situation. Hopefully that all resolves itself. But he's the same person.''

Multi-modal container transport and logistics company Samskip said it expects its Norway business to increase from the current 55,000 TEUs per year to 90,000 TEUs per year due to its acquisition of Euro Container Lines AS.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Delegates from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union voted Thursday to have the union enter into discussions with representatives of the Pacific Maritime Association to discuss a contract extension.
The Panama Canal Authority said it is confident in the process it uses to move ships through the new locks at the canal, following an accident last week that damaged the Xin Fei Zhou after it made contact with one of the walls at the Agua Clara Locks.
Chinese authorities have said that containers from certain countries shall be subject to effective anti-mosquito treatment in order to prevent the virus from spreading, which has left many shippers concerned.

The Truckee swim team's stellar all-around performance at the Zephyr League Championships last week was by no means a fluke.
The Wolverines proved as much at the Northern Division I-A Regional Championships in Minden this past Friday and Saturday, as their boys and girls teams again swept the top spots while more than a dozen swimmers qualified for state individually with a top-four finish. All six relay teams advanced with first- or second-place finishes.
With such a fine showing across the board — the Wolverines tallied 30 top-four finishes in total — the Truckee boys claimed the regional title with 371.5 points to runner-up Sage Ridge's 212. South Tahoe was third with 190.5 points, followed by Fernley (189), Lowry (183), Fallon (146), Sparks (95) and Incline (31).
The girls won with 361 points to runner-up South Tahoe's 304. Fallon came in third with 257 points and was trailed by Lowry (150), Sage Ridge (131), Incline (82), Fernley (74) and Sparks (22).
After advancing past the trials round on Friday, which required a top-eight finish, Truckee's Marcus Rodarte captured wins in two individual races — the 100-yard backstroke and the 100 freestyle — while also helping lead the boys 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams to first-place finishes. Both relay squads were made up of Marcus Rodarte, brother Kaleb Rodarte, Alex Straw and Jake Hamilton.
Brittany Percin and Brittney Straw also won two events individually, with Percin winning the 200 and 500 free, and Straw winning the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke. Both also were members of the winning girls 200 medley relay along with Niki Kates and Ingrid Suter.
Other individuals earning first-place finishes were Alex Straw (100 breaststroke), Kaleb Rodarte (100 butterfly) and Kates (100 backstroke), while a whole crew of Wolverines punched their tickets to state with top-four finishes, many in multiple events.
The Division I-A state championship is scheduled for Saturday at the Carson Aquatic Facility in Carson City.

The Importance of Listening
Circa Ad 55 the Greek Stoic Epictetus said "We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak." It has been used as a guide to being a good conversationalist ever since. If social media facilitates online conversation, which it does, then this adage is as applicable to online conversation as it is to offline chatter.
Of course with social media we need ears everywhere, or at least everywhere our customers are. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yammer, Google+, YouTube, and the list goes on. When we listen carefully we can then speak intelligently and add value to the conversation with one mouth; In otherwords, as an organisation we speak with one unified voice; delivering a clear and consistent message to stakeholders.
Below is a diagram taken from an excellent article by McKinsey. It lists 10 ways in which social technologies add value to organisational functions. 7 of the 10, highlighted in red, tie back directly to listening.
None of the 7 areas of value can be realised without listening closely to the conversation. Maybe this isn't exactly a revelation. However, if it's obvious why is there still an on-going emphasis on the speaking side of social media, and a lack of emphasis on active, systematic listening?
In some cases it's a lack of understanding by management of the real value of social media. In other cases it's a lack of skills and processes to put in place social media that enable business value.
Below are some quick explanations of each area of value highlighted above. As business people we need to ask: how can my organisation derive this value from social media?
Co-create Products: Most organisations have now realised the importance of having customer-orientated products and services. Therefore it should come as no surprise that there is an abundance of useful information online that can feed straight into development. Tools like uservoice.com make it easy to do.
Leverage Social for Forecast and Monitor: Social media is being used as a forecasting tool in both practical and obscure applications, from an amazingly accurate Triple J Warmest 100 to making profits on Wall Street by measuring social media sentiment. What can your business forecast using social media?
Derive Customer Insights: This ties in well with co-creation of products, but extends further to include all realms of customer involvement including service and support, evangelism, market position and customer demographics. Even if you have existing market research strategies, social media provide a free means of testing and improving your customer information.
Use Social Technologies for Marketing Communication/Interaction: This is what most brands are already doing… talking! Social technologies are now widely accepted as being an effective means of communicating brand messages to stakeholders. The next step is perfecting the use of content to really hit your audience sweet spot!
Generate and Foster Sales Leads: Do you know what your sales funnel looks like? Do you know how social media fits in the sales process? There are multiple steps between the customer becoming aware of your brand and the purchase point. Social technologies can feed into and enhance each of those steps. Furthermore, they can provide insights into where we fall short.
Provide Customer Care: If you have a problem, would you prefer to chase after the supplier for a solution or for the supplier to come to you? Many of your customers now use social technologies as part of their everyday lives. Providing customer care through those tools will help the customer feel as though they didn't really go out of their way at all! Furthermore, a solution for one customer may publicly solve a problem for another, and who doesn't love economies of scale?

Why aren't you hearing back
One of the hardest things about job hunting is the lack of feedback from employers. Sending out dozens, if not hundreds, of applications and emails and getting no response, not even an email to acknowledge receipt of your resume, is frustrating and demoralising. While there is no way to get a response for every application you submit, there are ways to increase employer interest.
As a hiring manager I would not follow up with a candidate if his or her resume or cover letter had even one spelling mistake, wrong word or typo. And getting the details of the employer and the position you are applying to wrong is a great way to have your resume overlooked. It shows lack of attention to detail.
Tailor your resume and cover letter
Hiring managers know when you send them a generic letter. Tweak your resume and cover letter to convey your interest in their job and their company. Use the job posting and the company's website to include information that is relevant to them. Alternately, you may not be hearing back from an employer not because they didn't like your resume, but simply because they used a computer program to sort resumes based on keyword content and yours never came up. Tailor your resume to use words that are in the specific job posting.
Follow application instructions
Many job postings have specific instructions on how to apply. Follow these instructions! Hiring managers will rarely look at resumes that are not submitted in the way they specified.
Apply within your means
Job requirements in postings are often ideals; the candidate should ideally have 3-5 years' experience herding cats. It's perfectly reasonable to apply to positions that you are not exactly qualified for, but don't be surprised or discouraged if you don't hear back from employers. Applying for jobs that match your experience, goals and background will bring you more results than always applying to your ideal.
Reassess your job-search plan
If you've reviewed your applications and everything you send is perfect, clear and convincing but you are still not getting much response from employers it's time to change your perspective and approach to job hunting.
The most effective job hunting approaches use multiple techniques, like online applications in addition to cold calling businesses you're interested in, or networking at events. If you are focusing on positions you're interested in, try approaching companies you'd like to work for. If you're broadly applying to every HR position, try narrowing you search to a specific field.
Not hearing back from employers is discouraging but is not a personal rejection. In all probability there are several hundred applicants to the posting, which means that hiring managers look for any small reason to narrow the pool of candidates. Ensure your applications are effective, error-free and relate to the position you are applying to and eventually you will be successful!

Name: Andrew Heo (pronounced HEE-oh)
Age: 31
Organization: Civilian: Air Force's Space Logistics Group, Sustainment Division; Reserve: 14th Test Squadron (14TS)
Title: Civilian: Information Assurance and Logistics Manager; Reserve: Information Assurance and Vulnerability Assessment Test Manager
Nominated for: His logistics, communications and test evaluation roles for the Air Force. During the past year, he overhauled the information assurance program, ensuring that $10 billion of Space-Based Infrared System assets have worldwide availability. He is an active community volunteer and was recently named a Distinguished Young AFCEAn of the Year. Heo also completed a rigorous information systems professional track at the National Defense University and is completing his doctorate in management.
First IT mentor: Col. Steve Hennessy. I was his executive officer at Scott Air Force Base, and he truly valued the power of mentoring. Col. Hennessy always made the office environment comfortable and engaging to his personnel, ensuring they had the right tools to get the job done. His ability to connect with his team and provide scaled and valuable mentoring were unparalleled in any commander I had ever seen. Additionally, he always communicated to me that being well rounded and knowing how to engage with people are valuable traits to have. Finally, the most important thing he taught me was that doing the right thing for the right reasons is critically important to being a respected leader.
Latest accomplishment on the job: Recently, I was assigned to be the sustainment lead for one of the [Space-Based Infrared System] sites to ensure that requirements directly given from operators are readily translated to our sustainment engineers. Being able to speak both languages and helping facilitate our warfighters are daily accomplishments.
Career highlight: It has been amazing to be part of the 14TS and help stand up an information assurance testing capability for the Air Force Space Command. It's a unique team comprised of some of the hardest-working IT professionals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. We bring our "A" game to try to meet the challenges that information assurance presents to all stakeholders of a system.
Favorite job-related bookmark: Google.com. Not only do I use this site to look up important knowledge about events going on both nationally and globally but I also use it every day to learn something new about my job and career.
Favorite app: Mint is a great application that is easy to use. It offers the ability to look at your whole financial picture in one consolidated program. It's also a great tool to see how many times you were too lazy to make dinner and took the family out to eat instead!
Dream non-IT-related job: General manager of a professional sports franchise. It would be great to take a small-money market team and take down any of those overspending teams who always try to "buy" championships. I'll take a team of passionate players who put out their best effort any day.

Peoria Chiefs Name Manager
dateline: peoria, june
dateline: peoria, june 2007:
ryne sandberg retires from his managerial gig after being found confused and crying in the corner of the clubhouse after ever-expanding practical jokes upon him by kids 1/2+ his age he's still trying to figure out "exactly what was funny about that."
absolutely no harm/no foul/etc. in this, but sandberg the leader of men? that should be interesting for a guy who's usually the "last person to get the memo" about what's going on around him that doesnt involve a double play.
C'mon Crunch! I can see it
C'mon Crunch! I can see it now...
Just imagine Ryno up close & personal spitting tobacco-laden loogies into some 22-year old umpire's face after the kid ump reverses a Peoria home run, or throwing bases all over the ball park after a runner gets called out on an attempted steal of second, or upending the post-game spread after his team blows a 6-1 9th inning lead, or smashing the water-cooler after Mark Pawelek walks-in three runs in the first inning. This is going to be FUN!
Time will tell but give the
Time will tell but give the guy a chance. One of the greatest players in Cubs' history. Does that mean he will be a great manager? Again, time will tell. Were the only great managers who were players guys who were leaders as players? Was LaRussa a leader as a player? I don't know, you just might find that Sandberg rises to the occasion.
His track-record with the
His track-record with the Cubs organization and baseball in general should give him the right to get a shot at managing if he wants one.
Hopefully it works out, for both him and us.
my only concern with ryno is
my only concern with ryno is how either clueless he is to his peer's activities (yes, beyond the whole sleeping with his wife thing) or how much he cant comprehend what he's seeing.
he always kinda reminded me of a wide-eyed guy who stuff "happens to" as a kind of surprise even though he's around to see what's unfolding right in front of his face.
of course almost all of this is based on stuff from a decade ago and time changes a lot of things, including focus and humility.
he's no cal ripken in the observation department.
As someone who has talked to
As someone who has talked to Ryno a few times since his retirement, I think Cubs fans will be pleasantly surprised.
The quiet, shy "kid" we remember in his playing prime has matured into a thoughtful, surprisingly articulate middle-ager.
I think there were some personal issues earlier in his life that led to his retiscence. He now seems much more comfortable in his own skin.
Good for Ryno. He may never be a Piniella-like screamer, but I think he has a good shot to be a leader-by-example type who clearly knows a great deal about the small things that make players complete.
Ryno now != playing days
Ryno now != playing days Ryno, but I'm still not sure he's got the right makeup to be a manager. I certainly wish him the best, though.
"Momma always said playing
"Momma always said playing baseball was like a box of chocolates..."
Come on guys, give him a shot before you write him off as dumber than Devin Hester.
my assessment of ryno is
my assessment of ryno is based on his playing days persona..to clear that up a bit.
i have no idea what the man's makeup has been applying itself to the game on whole aside from his semi-ballsy calling out of some of the primadona players in his HOF speech.
no harm/no foul, but i do think it'll be more interesting of an experience to observe even if he was just a chump nobody instead of a HOF'r.
Hey, AP Reports that Bill
AP Reports that Bill Wirtz has offered $780 Mil for the Cubs.
If Wirtz rumor is true then
If Wirtz rumor is true then yes, there is something worse than the Tribune owning the team.
and people thought the Trib
and people thought the Trib were bad owners....
Hey Steve Stone, You're
Hey Steve Stone,
You're kidding right? If not, do you have a link?
Cool! I'll get to see Ryno
Cool! I'll get to see Ryno & the Chiefs roll through town this summer for their games with the Silverhawks.
in response to comment #1:
in response to comment #1: Sandberg was a notorious practical joker in his playing days and will probably be re-energized by young hungry ball players, as well as delight in their jokes. Also, Let's not forget that during Sandberg's HOF speech he called out many of today's superstars on their unwillingness to do the little things that make ball players great..bunt, turn a doubleplay, etc. Something many inductees had failed to address or notice. I look for this to be a positive for the organization in general. Sandberg will deffinetly have a lot to offer the youth of our minor league system.

Without any link, I doubt this to be true. But if that ever happens, I quit being a Cub fan.
My sentiments exactly Chad...
My sentiments exactly Chad...
Re Ryno: The "strong, silent
Re Ryno:
The "strong, silent type" can be a successful manager. Walter Alston, for one. Often underestimated, yet had front office support (a key) and won a hell of a lot of ballgames, with different styles of teams, on 24 one-year consecutive contracts. Just a thought, not to suggest there's a substantive similarity in the two men.
nothing comes up on a google
nothing comes up on a google news search on this wirtz offer so I assume it's bogus.
I would like to know more
I would like to know more about this alleged racism. Within any large group (fans of the Cubs) there are going to people from all walks of like, and unfortunately, some of them will be whackos and some will be racists. Its ugly and wrong, but you will find it everywhere. If he was getting multiple racist epithets thrown at him from many people then I will be as shocked as I will be sickened, but something tells me that its a couple of isolated jerkoffs who would do something like that.
Chad, I'd have to agree with
Chad, I'd have to agree with you about that, but keep in mind, even if it's 4 or 5 jerkoffs, if you get these 2 or 3 guys out there once every 10 games, those are the guys that will stand out in his memory no matter how the rest of the fans were.
After all, if you're walking down the street and pass 500 people, maybe 150 people say hello to you, 340 don't say anything, and 10 people say "Hey fuckbag get off of my sidewalk", who are you most likely to remember? The 490 people who either greeted or ignored you or the 10 people that went out of their way to insult you? If you're like most people, you'll remember the 10.
I would guess (and hope) it was just some isolated incidents, but when he experienced that on top of the general booing and such he received at first it probably snowballed...
I think Sandberg will do
I think Sandberg will do just fine. It's not like he wasn't liked in the clubhouse, or that he didn't know baseball. Sure there have been very few successful managers who were HoF players, but you can't take a trend and attribute it to one player.
Because the last 6 people who walked into Wrigley were men, the next person must be a man. That 'logic' makes no sense.
During the mid-later part of his career, it was often said that he and Dawson had the clubhouse well in control. I guess Ryno contributed to that by being 'a wide-eyed guy who stuff "happens to" as a kind of surprise even though he's around to see what's unfolding right in front of his face.'
They had a lot of bad teams, but I don't remember the lack of general baseball acumen that the last three Cubs teams have displayed. When players do stupid things, it is the Coach's job to point them out, but without the knowing nods from the other players as he does so, the player will just ignore advice, and contine getting picked off 2nd with two outs.
Oh yeah, wasn't Frank Chance
Oh yeah, wasn't Frank Chance a HoF'r and a manager? Didn't see him in the Sandberg article.

2nd in defensive WAR, NL.
6th in NL in RBI
Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.

GRANITEVILLE, S.C.---A Graniteville man has been arrested by Aiken County deputies on nine counts involving sex acts with a minor.
Sheriff Michael Hunt said the incidents go back to 1973.
William "Bucky" Hicks, Jr., 60, of Gregg St. in Graniteville was arrested Wednesday at his home. The sheriff says information on the case was received by electronic mail, then deputies started to investigate these allegations.
Hicks is charged with five counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor and four counts of a lewd act on a minor.
Sheriff Hunt said, "Mr. Hicks, over the years, came in contact with young people through his involvement in youth sports. I know there are more victims and ask that they come forward."
Deputies say sexual assaults with a then eleven-year old boy began in 1973 and continued to 1977.
In 2002, Hicks was arrested for another sexual assault on a 15-year-old boy. That case is awaiting prosecution.
If you have information regarding Mr. Hicks, you should contact
Lt. Vicky Gaskins at the Aiken County Sheriff's Office at 800 922-9709.

New Cellulosic Ethanol Facilities Sprout Up in Four States
Poet's pilot plant in Scotland, South Dakota, is able to convert corn cobs into cellulosic ethanol at a rate of 20,000 gallons per year. Enlarge this photo.
A shift in biofuel production to cellulosic biofuels is underway as both demonstration and commercial-scale power plants are opening or moving closer to completion. In the commercial arena, Poet, the largest U.S. producer of ethanol, is planning construction this year of Project Liberty, a cellulosic ethanol plant in Emmetsburg, Iowa, that will use corn cobs from local farms to produce 25 million gallon per year of ethanol. The plant will be co-located with Poet's current corn grain ethanol plant at the Emmetsburg site and should start commercial operations in 2011. DOE has provided $80 million in funding for the facility, and in late January, the Iowa Department of Economic Development approved a $5.25 million grant, bringing Iowa's total contribution to $20 million. Poet's pilot-scale plant in Scotland, South Dakota, is already producing cellulosic ethanol at a rate of about 20,000 gallons per year and has successfully driven the cost of ethanol down from $4.13 per gallon to $2.35 per gallon, as the company aims for a commercial cost below $2 per gallon. See the Poet press releases on the Iowa grant and the cost reductions.
Meanwhile, Abengoa Bioenergy is planning to develop the nation's first commercial-scale hybrid cellulosic ethanol and power plant in Stevens County, Kansas. The $550 million facility is expected to produce 15 million gallons of ethanol annually using corn stover, wheat straw, and switchgrass as feedstock. In January, Abengoa Bioenergy signed an agreement to sell 75 megawatts of power from the facility to Mid-Kansas Electric Company LLC. The new cellulosic ethanol facilities will be essential to meet the newly revised Renewable Fuel Standard, which sets a federal requirement for the sale of 6.5 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol over the course of this year. That requirement will ramp up to 16 billion gallons by 2022. See the Abengoa Bioenergy press release and the article from the EERE Network News on the Renewable Fuel Standard.
Two demonstration-scale plants have recently started up. Last October, Coskata Inc., a developer of biofuels, announced the launch of their semi-commercial cellulosic ethanol facility located in Madison, Pennsylvania. Coskata's facility will be producing ethanol from numerous feedstocks, including wood biomass, agricultural waste, sustainable energy crops, and construction waste. And on January 29, DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol LLC (DDCE) and University of Tennessee/Genera Energy LLC celebrated the grand opening of their first cellulosic ethanol demonstration plant, which converts both agricultural residue and bioenergy crops into ethanol. The facility, located in Vonore, Tennessee, was producing ethanol in mid-January and has the capacity to produce 250,000 gallons of ethanol per year from corn cobs and switchgrass. The company intends to achieve commercial production by 2012. See the press releases from Coskata and DDCE.


text: Soho's MercBar has been going strong for more than twenty years, so it's somewhat surprising to learn that tonight will be its last. John McDonald, who also owns Lure Fishbar, El Toro Blanco and Burger and Barrel, is shuttering his first New York venture, located at 151 Mercer Street. "After 7,519 nights of non-stop nightlife the wear and tear on the building has taken its toll," he says. "To every person who worked here, to every customer that walked in for the last two decades, I thank you for it all." Per McDonald, the cost of the building's upkeep didn't make sense, so he's opting to close instead: "It's sad and nostalgic, but it's time."

Attendance (Tardiness and Absence)
Attendance and punctuality are important to the university. Every employee is expected to work when scheduled and to arrive on time. The effectiveness of every work group depends on people working together and coordinating their efforts.
Tardiness. You should always notify your supervisor if you anticipate being late to work or absent. However, there are times when unforeseen circumstances occur. If you expect to be late, you are required to call your supervisor. Be sure to contact your supervisor when you arrive at work.
Absence. As soon as you know you must be absent from work, you must notify your supervisor. Employees absent without previous permission or without notifying their supervisors are subject to disciplinary action, including termination. (HR 107)

PARKERSBURG - College is about growth and that's especially true for any student-athlete.
Let's just say Parkersburg South graduate Garret Lynch, a freshman high jumper for the Shockers of Wichita State, was a little naive about making the transition from a Class AAA school to a Division I program in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Just don't blame WSU assistant coach John Wise.
Article Photos
Photo courtesy Wichita State
Parkersburg South graduate Garret Lynch competes in the high jump for Wichita State University earlier this season.
"I remember going into like our first team meeting and right before we competed coach Wise talked to all the freshmen and told us this isn't high school anymore," said Lynch, who was the 2012 state runner-up to Wheeling Park and current University of Southern California redshirt freshman Erinn Baynes in the high jump. "He told us we're not special anymore and it's college and you're not the best.
"He said I realize all you guys were one of the best, if not the best in your state, and it's going to be an up and down ride. I remember telling myself I'm not going to be like that and then I was just like that. That's kind of how I would sum up my freshman year."
But, what a freshman year it turned out to be for the ex-Patriot. Not only did Lynch, a secondary education major who is specializing in history, turn in the eighth-best outdoor high jump (6-11) in school history, but he also earned all-MVC honors and thought for a brief while he had won the outdoor conference individual high jump championship.
Last month while competing in the MVC championships, Lynch turned in a then winning high jump of 6 feet, 8 inches, only to have a snafu cost him an individual crown in his first year as a Shocker thinclad.
"OK, so we were jumping and my teammate was on deck and Ryan Cook from Drake was up and my teammate thought he was up and went ahead of him and since my teammate went ahead of him that guy (Cook) is moved down the list," explained Lynch. "Ryan Cook was supposed to be moved down in the list and since he was the last remaining jumper he didn't have any place to go.
"He missed on his third attempt (at 6-8) and their coach complained. Me and my teammates were one, two (Zach Budda) and three (Kerry Graber) originally. I guess they called the head rules guy in California and they gave him (Cook) a new jump, which was like three hours later and under new conditions."
As it turned out, Cook not only managed to clear 6-8 on what turned out to be an extra attempt at that height, but he went on to win the MVC title after getting new life.
"Yes, he did jump four times at 6-8," Lynch said. "At first I was super excited because I thought I was the champion.
"After I found out it ended up like it did I was pretty upset. But you know, you have to take it. It's what happened and I congratulated him and moved on with the day."
Things didn't go quite as planned for Lynch during the indoor season as trips home for Thanksgiving break, and especially the Christmas holiday, proved to be his undoing as he finished fifth at the MVC indoor high jump championships.
"A big thing that our (head) coach (Steve Rainbolt) preached to us was that it doesn't fly. He (coach 'Bolt') says that all the time talking to us about watching our weight," Lynch added. "They'll give us a workout package if we are going far away and I had a packet I'm supposed to do and workout specific stuff.
"When I came home for Thanksgiving, I didn't have too hard of workouts, but Christmas was a long time at home and I just decided myself I was going to take it off. You live and learn. I left Wichita State about 170 and I weighed about 183 or 184 pounds when I got back. When I came home to mom's West Virginia home cooking it didn't help me out much."
Luckily for Lynch, that's just one of many lessons he's learned about himself. Now, he's preparing for left knee surgery on Tuesday.
"I had an MRI and there's like a dime sized piece of bone I broke off on my femur underneath my kneecap," said Lynch, who qualified 38th for the NCAA West Regional where only the top 48 high jumpers make it.
"I slightly tore my meniscus and they are going to take that piece of bone out, scope it and fix anything else. I feel like I should be back to full strength about the start of indoor season. I'm only supposed to be out four-to-six weeks."
With three years of eligibility remaining and a degree yet to earn, Lynch knows there will be plenty of obstacles for him to overcome down the line. At the same time, he's anxious to tackle whatever comes at him.
"Around 20 freshmen made it to the regionals and now that the season is over (I can look back and know) I was one of the top freshmen in the nation," he said. "I just want to get my knee healthy and once that happens get into training.
"My big goal my sophomore year is to jump 7 feet and make it back to Texas for the NCAA first round. My goal when I leave is to be Wichita State's highest jumper. The school outdoor record is held by David Puvogel (7-4)."

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Sally Ollove, Bearded Ladies
We were deep in the rehearsal process for My Dinner with Dito: A How To Be Gay Cabaret when the Supreme Court ruling on DOMA was announced. That makes us Beards 2-for-2; we like to credit our first cabaret, Back in the Army, which centers on a gay soldier, with the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. It seems appropriate that just as we were contemplating what it means to be gay in 2013, so was the rest of the country.
Aside from enjoying the collaboration of director Elizabeth Stevens, actress Sarah Gliko, and Philly's "Drag Queen King" Dito van Reigersberg (aka Martha Graham Cracker), My Dinner with Dito challenged us Beards—especially John Jarboe—to come out from behind the cardboard and expose our fleeting joys, deepest anxieties, and most raw memories. For a group built on playing with outrageous characters, playing ourselves was the biggest risk we could take.
Thanks in part to the Knight Foundation, we were able to enjoy a much longer rehearsal process than usual, which allowed us to explore a number of ideas that didn't end up making it into the show. One of our favorites was a conversation between Dito and his Martha Graham Cracker wig in which Martha gave Dito a pep talk: "Be a fuss, Dito!" counseled Martha. Finally, near the end of our process, we found the frame of a gay seder, or gay-der in which we substituted pigs-in-a-blanket for bitter herbs and Judy Garland for that perpetually absent dinner guest, Elijah. Thanks to Terry Berch McNally and the London Grill, every audience member was able to eat-a-long with John and Dito (our favorite was the artichoke, which was prickly and tough on the outside like Elaine Stritch). No one much cared for the Rainbow Assimilation store-bought cookies!
Our challenges this summer weren't all as gay-memoir-focused. We also collaborated with Eastern State Penitentiary for the 3rd time on their Bastille Day Celebration. Over 5,000 nobles and peasants gathered for our not-quite-completely inaccurate hour-long French history lesson, including Phillies fan Joan of Arc, the little sparrow Edith Piaf, the villainous Marie Antoinette and her entourage, and the giant baguette. And, of course, what celebration of France would be complete without break-dancing Ben Franklin? Hey, this is Philly, after all!
That was a lot for a summer. But we're not done! This season, the Bearded Ladies are pleased to announce a Cabaret Invasion! Look for us popping up all over the city as we tear down the walls between artist and audience and turn everyday mundane things into art. And that's not only a philosophy, but a clue about the subject of our upcoming project, to be announced soon!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Sony consists of some divisions that are spectacularly successful and others that are spectacular failures. The result is usually "meh." But a big shakeup is in the works.
The company reported what seemed like a great December quarter from Japan early today. Sales were reported at $22.979 billion, up 24% from a year before, and operating income was reported at $860 million, up 94.6%.

This paper focuses on distributed data query in intermittently connected passive RFID networks, which are characterized by extraordinarily limited communication capacity and asynchronous and opportunistic communication links. To address such unique challenges, we propose a distributed data query framework that clusters RFID readers and establishes a 0-1 Knapsack model based on dynamic packet appraisal to enable highly efficient data transmission. We implement a prototype by using Alien RFID gears and carry out experiments that involve 52 volunteers for 14 days to evaluate the proposed data query framework.

Coming to America
- 09-28-2012
- By Craig E Wells
"What are some of the differences you notice between Salamanca and Vermont?"
"EVERYTHING!" exclaims a young man in the front row.
Recently, Romance Languages and Linguistics Professor Tina Escaja and her two sections of Spanish 201 (Advanced Conversation and Composition) hosted some very special visitors: a group of high school students from Spain who are participating in an exchange program with South Burlington High School, and the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Antonio Cepeda-Benito. Every other year, students from the Collegio Montessori in Salamanca, Spain visit South Burlington, and in 2010, for the first time, they toured the UVM campus and participated in Professor Escaja's Spanish 201 sections. This year, a new group of Spanish 201 students was excited to welcome a new group of Spanish visitors and the Dean, who is also a native of Salamanca.
"Having high-school students from Spain mingle with UVM students in my advanced Spanish classes was a genuine treat," said Professor Escaja. The interaction was lively, and, of course, took place entirely in Spanish. (The question and answer quoted above were translated.) "It was so cool to talk with native Spanish speakers. It made me realize how much I can understand and how comfortable I am speaking the language," said Theodore Klein, a sophomore from New York.
"Dr. Cepeda-Benito interacted with students with ease, answering questions about his origins, his journey to the U.S., his presence at UVM, his perception of multiculturalism," Professor Escaja explained. Her students really appreciated his presence.
"Meeting the dean was not like I expected it to be at all," said Thomas Renner, a junior and Public Communications major. "He was very friendly and a lively conversationalist. When speaking with him, it felt like speaking to a fellow classmate. The dean's story of his adventure to America and the journey to becoming dean was very inspiring."
Elementary Education (with a concentration in Spanish) junior Marcy Solomon agreed. "I very much liked getting to meet Dean Cepeda-Benito. It was really interesting to hear his story of how he came to America. I never would've known about him and how UVM is made up of so many interesting professors and deans with stories of their lives. I loved how he told the exchange students to not compare America and Spain [with a "we do it better" mindset]. I think that's something that a lot of people probably do when they are visiting somewhere new!"
"I thought that the presentation done by Antonio Cepeda-Benito was very interesting," said Kylie Brown deGroot, a nutrition major and Spanish minor from Charlotte, Vermont. "It provided a cultural glimpse into Spain that we, as Spanish learners, don't receive on a class basis. I appreciated the personal tone he took with every question—telling us about how he met his wife and also the things that are greatly different between Salamanca and Vermont. He brought humor into the conversation."
Professor Escaja believes that the session was a wonderful opportunity for the Americans and Spaniards to share the language and their cultures. She commented, "Looking at the group of students, despite the often comic differences highlighted by students from both sides of the Atlantic—the size of the houses (here houses are huge); the schedule for food; tapas vs. pie; cars; the educational system—the fact is that all students share the same enthusiasm, aspirations, interests, and anxieties. Antonio Cepeda-Benito's message at the end was that students should avoid prejudgments and be aware of the similarities that connect all of us."

Technical Abstract: Soil carbon dioxide (CO2) flux is an important component of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Accurate measurements of soil CO2 flux aids determinations of carbon budgets. In this study, we investigated soil CO2 fluxes with time and depth and above ground CO2 fluxes in a bare field. CO2 concentrations were measured with time and depth by Vaisala sensors (GMT 220) buried in the soil. Measured CO2 concentrations were used with a gradient method in order to calculate CO2 fluxes with time and depth in the soil. Surface CO2 fluxes were measured directly with eight chambers (Licor 8100-104). An eddy covariance system was installed in the field to measured CO2 flux above ground. CO2 fluxes estimated at different positions will be compared and the three methods will be evaluated.

* The Constitution and the ratification debates
* Madison's executive years as secretary of state and president
* The Madisons' retirement years at Montpelier and their legacy
Participants will also enjoy private tours of the mansion and the current archaeological dig site, which is in the midst of a three-year effort to discover and analyze the homes of members of Montpelier's enslaved community. Participants will also receive a special copy of the U.S. Constitution and a copy of An Introduction to Archaeology at James Madison's Montpelier, an in-depth guide to understanding the archaeological research being conducted at James Madison's Montpelier.

Google has released a full version of its response to the FCC's inquiry on Apple's ban of Google Voice from the App Store.
Back in July, the FCC sent letters to Apple, AT&T, and Google asking about the rejection of the Google Voice for iPhone app.
When we submitted our letter on August 21, we asked the FCC to redact certain portions that involved sensitive commercial conversations between two companies — namely, a description of e-mails, telephone conversations, and in-person meetings between executives at Google and Apple.
Shortly afterward, several individuals and organizations submitted Freedom of Information Act requests with the FCC seeking access to this information. While we could have asked the FCC to oppose those requests, in light of Apple's decision to make its own letter fully public and in the interest of transparency, we decided to drop our request for confidentiality. Today the FCC posted the full content of our letter to their website (PDF).
We continue to work with Apple and others to bring users the best mobile Google experience possible.

Museo di Storia della Scienza, (Italian: Museum of the History of Science), in Florence, collection of scientific instruments and maps begun in 1929 to show the progress of science from ancient times. Much of the collection formerly belonged to the Medici. There is a model of an alchemist's studio, a water clock, and a collection of weighing machines. Other exhibits include collections of clocks, compasses, quadrants and sextants, calculators, globes, sundials, and surgical instruments of the 18th century. Preserved there are the telescope with which Galileo discovered the satellites of Jupiter and other instruments used by him, as well as one of the first cylinder phonographs built by Edison in 1890.

Ten-year-old Hector Manuel Meisoso poses for a photo to show ritual markings carved into his chest made during a "protection ceremony," that faithful believe will keep him safe from evil spirits on Saint Barbara's feast day, in Bahia Honda, Cuba, Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012. Hector's parents paid about $5.00 U.S. dollars and was asked to bring 5 cigars, and 2 coconuts for the ceremony led by Santera priestess Chuchita. In Cuba, Saint Barbara is associated with the Santeria diety Chango, the orisha of lighting, fire, and war where believers pay tribute to both every December 4 with offerings of flowers, fruit, burning candles, the beating of drums and animal sacrifices.

'Gay gene'? No scientific evidence for it
A new study should convince academics and the general public that there is no "homosexual gene."
One pro-lifer believes a recent video project on "fourth-trimester" abortions suggests young people on college campuses need to be educated on the subject.
Dan Joseph of the Media Research Center went to the Fairfax, Virginia, campus of George Mason University, asking students to sign the petition to make fourth-trimester abortions legal. In one excerpt, he tells a female student: "We believe it's a woman's right to choose, and men in Washington ... do not get to make the rules about what a woman can do with her body and with her baby." The student agrees.
The problem is there is no fourth trimester in a pregnancy. That means Joseph is talking about a child who has been born and is in the first three months of his or her life.
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, tells OneNewsNow the video shows the need for education.
"It was pretty interesting to watch the video. It shows that there's a vast need for education on college campuses about this issue," she states. "I don't actually think most of them understood what they were signing when they signed the piece of paper."
Hawkins has had the same experience on campuses getting students to sign a petition to allow a Students for Life chapter on campus.
"We have people who have no idea what we're talking about who go ahead and sign up simply because they saw somebody else sign up," the pro-lifer relays. "So I would really like to go back to each of those people and ask them, 'Did you understand this is what you were signing for when you signed up?'"
She adds that viewing the video was a teaching moment for her organization, which strives to educate young people that abortion takes the life of a preborn human being.
A new study should convince academics and the general public that there is no "homosexual gene."

Who would have thought that Sept. 11 could impact the plain old paper check? Yet one of the many consequences of Sept. 11 is that when all of the nation's airports were closed following the terrorist attacks, the movement of paper check payments also stopped, slowing up the flow of billions of dollars.

While green vineyard practices are considered innovative, it's really a return to much older, even ancient ways of growing things.
At Flora Springs we believe part of honoring tradition is also establishing new values that both our ancestors and children's children would be proud to maintain. Our work is made far more meaningful when we think of ourselves as part of something larger, be that our family, our community, or our eco-system.
In all of our vineyards, healthy flora means healthy fauna, and one can find a large assortment of wildlife at home among our grapes. Some are more welcome than others: we've built raptor perches for falcons to keep our rodents at bay and houses for the blue birds that feed on insects. We can't keep everyone out, as the occasional wild boar sighting proves!
Currently there is no certifying body for sustainable farming practices, however we feel it is our responsibility as stewards of the land to farm in a manner that protects both our community and environment.

Nice Template.
It's featured in our Blog here http://tinyurl.com/24m7r4u
Thank you!
Please download the package again.
Fantastic work.
Is there a way to stop the slider at the last picture and not have it loop?
Also, can the "Learn More" in the HTML version be placed on each photo and linked to an associated page like in the WP version?
How would I add more links to the Horizontal Navigation?
Lots of questions…..
Hello Webdev1234,
Please, for theme support contact me as explained in the theme documentation.
I have a quick question. Is it possible to increase the area for the logo in the top left hand side to fit a larger image?
Hello cryofmankind,
It's possible, it just requires some css customization.
I noticed that creating long button names breaks the nav line because the nav buttons are fixed width. How can this be fixed?
Hello Eyeargon,
That's not a bug, the template has fixed menu items. It's pretty easy to modify via css.
I am trying to decide whether to get the Wordpress version or the HTML version. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Please advise
Hello yecheskelt,
The HTML version can be used to create a simple website portfolio, for example, no back-end. With the WP version, instead, you have a back-end which you can update your content, check the users comments, create dynamic pages etc..
Fantastic template!
The code is so clean and clear!
Thank you Bornid
I really like your skin but I have a question before buying it?
I'd like to know if it's possible to have the equivalent of 2 portfolios?
Yes, you just need to duplicate the portfolio page.
Great File! Kinda new to customizing templates , so this may be a pretty straight forward question. Is there any way to add extra space in the log are to add a larger logo at the top?
Thanks! Matt
Hi Mav
Great theme – love it.
I have had to move the position of the menu bar down by 42px to fit in my logo and have adjusted the relevant line in the skin6.css.
header-wrap {
background:transparent url(../dlimages/skin6/topnavBG.png) center 106px no-repeat; padding-bottom:1px; }
Unfortunately the menu bar no longer shows in IE7 and I can't quite work out what I need to do to make it appear again – I've tried adjusting the same line in the ie7.css but no change.
Any pointers?.
Hi PJC ,
Try to modify the ie7_skin6.css located in in the styles/skins.
If you need more help please contact me as explained in the theme documentation.
Any suggestions will be appreciated
Help!! All of a sudden my portfolio page stopped working and "portfolio" is no longer an option in my WordPress control panel (in Pages, the template drop down box) for that page. The only template available is "Default Template."
Hey there MAV ,
Just made the purchase. Very excited to go through it. By the way … this is WICKED template .. absolutely fantastic … great job. I was wondering if there's any documentation for the site … it would be a little helpful to know what's what and where it is. Hope you can help with that.
Also need to ask you a thing or two regarding the blog.

Thank you so much Daniel
Is it possible to add/remove the number of items in the slider and have it adjust the bubbles below it too?
I want to buy this template, but I have a question, can I increase the height of the slider to 600, add some "next" "previous" buttons and make it "manual" no time transition ?
I just purchased this theme and would like to use the same font for the company name as is used in the main logo.
Does anyone know what font the 'Synthetik' text is in ?
Hello Datasolv,
Thank you for purchasing the Synthetik.
The font used is Vegur. You can find the link in the theme doc under Sources and Credits.
I'm using this theme with the Django web framework, and it's been really smooth turning the base HTML into Django templates. The markup is clean, and the changes I've made to the CSS and Javascript have been relatively easy. I'm definitely satisfied!

So October is coming to a close and Saturday you'll probably be out at a party dressed as a farm animal trying to get your swerve on with a hooker vampire. It's beautiful really. But what kind of beer will you be drinking? Here's a few suggestions that might help your liver get in the Halloween spirit with you.
Wachusett Brewing Company, Inc. - Green Monsta
If there is one thing that sums up Halloween for a booze hound it's the Pumpkin beer. You either love or hate the style but for me it isn't truly fall until I see the pumpkin ales hitting the shelves at my local beer stores. Mark did a stand up job last year of sampling and reviewing a bunch of these beers so instead of downing three or four six packs I'll give you guys a little more insight into the exciting world of Pumpkin beers… while I downing a few six packs.

ScanBalt Soon Independent
Copenhagen - The meta network Scan-Balt will as of August 1st stand on its own feet and become an independent, non-profit association based on memberships. The cross-border bioregion encompassing Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Sweden, the nor-thern part of Germany and north-western part of Russia has been mainly funded by the Nordic Industrial Fund (see EuroBiotechNews 3/03).
3rd ScanBalt Forum in Turku
The Turku Science Park will host the 3rd ScanBalt Forum - organized in co-operation with the 14th Annual Biocity Symposium - on August 25-26, 2004. The forum aims to continue the development of the ScanBalt Competence Region by establishing new scientific platforms and public-private partnerships. The programme with renowned speakers is built on ongoing projects and project ideas. One of them is the ScanBalt Campus that provides a framework for joint activities in knowledge formation and education, for instance by organizing cour-ses and building knowledge centres in the bioregion. Education is given priority also by encouraging students from bioscience communities in the ScanBalt bioregion to present their work at the poster session.

Those of you who frequent or occasionally visit our website or Facebook are probably pretty familiar with what is going on there. Those who don't probably enjoy sitting back, relaxing and reading the paper instead of getting online to get their news, and aren't too worried about what's going on our website.
However, I think a recent addition to our blog section is worth some mention here in the newspaper. An economics student from?Uruguay, Gabriel Najman Vieites, has recently started blogging for us. For the most part, he intends to talk about culture, daily activities and the general hustle and bustle of our sister Montevideo, but this week he started with something a little different.
He's cited an article which refers to a study done by The Heritage Foundation, analyzing Uruguay's economic situation through a number of lenses.
Personally, I found this to be an interesting read. We spend a lot of time talking about our own economy, and hearing about disasters in places such as Greece, but it isn't often we have discourse or at least educate ourselves about the economies in other foreign countries.
Uruguay is currently working hard to build a strong economy, and from the looks of the article, they've come a long way. Have a look; if nothing else, the article gives a good indication of how we measure economies.
