1. M/S/P to approve minutes from April 18, 2006 meeting.
2. First Reading:
Proposal #2. (As no one from O-T was present, this proposal was heard first.)
Five-Year Dual Degree BS/MSE, new program.
The five-year dual degree BS/MSE program enables a UW-L student to earn both a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and a Master of Software Engineering (MSE) degree in five years. Students in this dual degree program should complete C-S 120, 220, 270, 340, 370, 421, 441, 442, MTH 207, 208, 225, and 9 credits of 300 or 400 level C-S electives (excluding C-S 341) by the end of their junior year. During the senior year students should complete C-S 741, 743, 742, 546 and 3 or 6 graduate level MSE credits. In the fifth year students should complete C-S 744, 3 or 6 graduate level MSE electives, and the capstone project. C-S 546 and C-S 741 will count toward the 40 credit hours of computer science required for the B.S. degree. C-S 742, 743, 744, 12 credits of 798 (capstone project), and 9 credits of MSE electives will fulfill the MSE requirements.
Students may be accepted into the dual degree
program anytime before they have completed seventy-five undergraduate credits
hours. Applicants for undergraduate admission to UWL may request admission into
the dual degree program. In order to remain in the program students must
maintain a 3.00 GPA. Award of the BS degree will occur upon completion of 120
credits, the C-S major requirements, the SAH college requirements, and the
general university requirements. Students must have graduate student status
before they enroll in C-S 742 (normally in the second semester of their senior
year.) Award of the MSE degree will occur after the completion of the BS and MSE
This was a first reading. There will be a second reading
Proposal #1.
O-T 426/526, Occupational Analysis of
Human Movement, reduce credits from 3
to 2.
M/S/P to waive second reading and approve proposal, assuming approval of new course.
Biomechanics and Kinesiology applications in Occupational Therapy, new
course, 2 credits, effective Fall 2006. This course will apply principles of
biomechanics and kinesiology to the understanding and analysis of movement in
relationship to occupational performance. This will include the study of
structure and function of the skeletal, muscular and neuromuscular systems and
their influences on normal and pathological motion and how this may impact
occupational performance. This course will explore kinesiology considerations
for specific musculoskeletal regions including the head, torso, upper and lower
extremities and how this relates to commonly used therapeutic treatment
techniques employed by occupational therapists. Students will explore research
tools utilized in biomechanics and their application to a variety of movement
based research questions.
M/S/P to waive second reading and approve proposal.
Masters of Science Program in Occupational Therapy, reduction in credits and change in required courses.
Occupational therapists work with people of all ages facing physical, emotional, or mental challenges. Students who choose a career in occupational therapy will be instrumental in helping people participate fully in the daily occupations of their lives.
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MS in OT) degree is designed to produce therapists who are generalists prepared to work in a variety of treatment settings, with a special sensitivity to the health needs of rural citizens. Program graduates apply scholarly skills and attitudes to their clinical practice, are prepared to assume leadership roles, and are competent entry-level occupational therapy practitioners.
Admission Criteria:
1. Earned undergraduate degree (or degree completed by May 30thof application year)**
2. Completion of all pre-requisite coursework Credits
Anatomy & Physiology............................................................... 8
Physics........................................................................................ 4
Life Span Development............................................................... 3
Statistics or Principles of Research.............................................. 4
3. A minimum grade point average of 3.0 for undergraduate studies
4. Evidence of 10 hours of clinical experience supervised by an occupational therapist.
5. Complete application for admission to the Occupational Therapy program. Applicants
must also apply for UW-La Crosse graduate admission.
** A dual degree option allows psychology students to apply for admission to the Masters of Science program before completion of their psychology degree. Students seeking this option must consult an advisor early in their academic career to qualify for the dual degree.
Selection Process:
Twenty-four students are admitted each year. The deadline for application to the occupational therapy program occurs in January for the classes starting the following June. Factors considered in the admission process are academic preparation, commitment to the profession of occupational therapy, and professional abilities as demonstrated in the written application narrative, letters of recommendation, and a personal interview. Specific deadlines and application materials are available at 4031 Health Science Center and available on the Occupational Therapy Program web-site http://www.uwlax.edu/ot/application_procedures.htm.
The graduate program in occupational therapy is eight semesters (30 months) long with extensive clinical experiences woven throughout academic coursework. The last 2 semesters of the program are spent in full-time fieldwork placements.
A thesis option is available for students wishing to pursue independent research. Students must declare if they intend to complete the thesis option by the end of the first year in the program. Students pursuing the thesis option would delay enrollment in "O-T 795: Level II Fieldwork" until completion of the thesis. All level II fieldwork must be completed within 24 months after the completion of academic coursework.
Students in the program should expect to incur additional expenses for books, special course fees, housing and travel during clinical fieldwork.
Students graduating from the program are eligible to sit for the national certification examination administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of the exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). Most states require a license to practice occupational therapy. State licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination and additional open-book testing on the state law. A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT certification exam or to obtain state licensure.
The occupational therapy program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) located at 4720 Montgomery Lane., PO Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220. Phone: (301)652-2682 www.aota.org

Prime Minister Hun Sen made a bold pledge to the hundreds of thousands of Cambodian villagers fighting companies for their homes yesterday, ordering that in every economic land concession across the country, space must be provided for those they would displace.
But last month's royal book reveals that just over a week after making a similar order in May – to temporarily halt the granting of all economic land concessions – Hun Sen signed off on three agro-industrial concessions in one day.
… the premier gave provincial governors just six months to demarcate 10 per cent of every agro-industrial, forest or illegally established ELC for villagers to live on. …
Rights groups and political analysts, however, pointed to the revelation that after the premier ordered a temporary moratorium on granting ELCs and a review of all existing ones on May 7, he appeared to have defied his own directive.
On May 18, Hun Sen granted rubber concessions of 8,000 hectares in Ratanakkiri to SK Plantation (Cambodia) Pte Ltd, 5,940 hectares to HMH Co Ltd in Kampong Thom and 7,710 hectares to Le Ye Rubber to develop rubber plantations. …

Mets Batters Hurry Through Finale
On a cold, windy day at Citi Field, Mets batters did their best to speed things along.
I got the impression, as I shivered while watching the home team's season finale on Sunday, that batters were swinging early and often. It felt like at least some Mets were ready to put their second straight losing season, and fourth straight without a playoff berth, behind them quickly so they could pack their things and head home. And the numbers bore that out. Nationals pitchers needed just 183 pitches to get through 53 Mets batters, for an average of 3.45 pitches per plate appearance. That's far fewer than the 3.77 the Mets averaged all season, or the 3.82 major-league average.
More than one in three Mets plate appearances Sunday were over in one or two pitches. The Mets had one double, two singles, one hit by pitch and three successful bunts in those 18 speedy plate appearances — which sounds bad, but was a little more productive than the Mets were when they took their time (five singles and three walks in 35 plate appearances). New York's offense started fast, with Jose Reyes's popout on an 0-1 count to start the bottom of the first, and ended fast, on Ruben Tejada's flyout on the first pitch of the game's final plate appearance in the bottom of the 14th.
Yes, the meaningless game somehow lasted 14 surreal innings, as I and the few hundred others who stayed until the end (plus a few who watched until the end at home) can attest to. Batters can't control a game's length entirely, though, as a series of posts here explained earlier this season, they can have a big effect. This 14-inning game lasted 31 minutes less than a nine-inning game I attended in 2006 between two notably slow rivals, the Yankees and Red Sox, who were playing in a meaningful game rather than a footnote.
The Nationals, despite finishing the season with 10 fewer wins than the sad-sack Mets, were in no hurry on Sunday. They demonstrated the virtues of patience when Mets manager Jerry Manuel sent in Oliver Perez in the 14th inning, in a move cynical Mets fans might have interpreted as a way for Manuel to put himself and the team out of its misery. Perez needed 30 pitches to get one out, hitting one Nat and walking three in giving up the winning run. And Manuel and Mets general manager Omar Minaya were out the next day.
Still, the Mets' hurry-up offense had me wondering if teams rush through the final game of the season, which for most teams is meaningless: Just five of 30 teams went into Sunday's games with any uncertainty about their postseason position, or lack thereof. The answer was encouraging about the professionalism of baseball players. STATS ran the numbers on the final weekend of each season since 2006. Average game times and average pitches per plate appearance for the final day of the season weren't notably higher than for the prior couple of games — which were more likely to be meaningful and didn't carry the incentive of being able to end the whole season faster — nor for the season as a whole. For the last four years, in fact, teams on the last day of the season were as patient, or more so — as measured by pitches per plate appearance — than in the prior game, and for the season overall.
The same goes for the Mets, who over nine games in the final weekends of each of the last three years had used more pitches per plate appearance than for the season as a whole in every game but one. And that one exception was a 13-0 rout of the Marlins in 2007, which wasn't close for most of the game and hardly called for patience at the plate. The Mets did speed things up a bit in this year's final weekend. That could be seen as the result of an impulse to rush through the final days for Minaya and Manuel, but it may also reflect the inexperience of the Mets' season-ending lineup. That was exemplified by the final nine men to come to the plate for the Mets this season. They've combined for just 953 games, 67 home runs and 272 walks in their careers — fewer than the career totals of just one Met, 27-year-old third baseman David Wright. Mets fans might hope that these green players who took the season to its predictably desultory finish — six of whom have a combined eight homers in their careers — learn from the patience of Wright, who's averaged 3.98 pitchers per plate appearance in his career.

You're definately not alone , it is very hard when it doesn't happen quickly and I suspect men do feel it to but they put on a brave face for us , I know my OH was doing for the first 6 months we were trying , and all the stats about it taking up to a year etc. don't help, because who wants to be the person who gets pregnant after 12 months
We all want to be the one who gets pregnant the very first month and if it doesn't happen you start doubting yourself , and wondering if you could be doing more
The number of women on here though who try for ages then get pregnant when not really trying I sometimes wonder if we're better off doing less
Hope it happens for you soon xx

Ladies I tota
Ly get what you're saying. Three and half years and it sucks.
But now that I'm ocusing on my weight instead I'm feeling so much more positive. Like of I cn ix this, then it may happen.
I tried bbt charting, but for a start I have a blow average bbt, at around 35 degrees, and I use an electric blanket most nights for pain relief, o not sure if that effects things.
I wish each nd every one of you a beautiful health baby.
Thinking of you all nd totally relating.
Oh, and whilst on the face of things, people may think it doesn't affect the men. It really does. My husban thinks about it each day, it hurts him each day that it doesn't happen.
He just says that in the end, as much as we both want a child, as long as he's with me it will be enough. In the mean time we keep doing whatever we have to to get there, without it taking US over. You know.
I think people who aren't in the same intuition s all of us simply don't get it.

Azaan Shah to play Rudra in Shree
Our source informed, "Azaan Shah has been finalized to portray the role of Rudra. The reason for taking him was that he has earlier also done Shhh… Phir Koi Hai where he played the similar role and thus channel zero downed him for Shree." He was seen in Ek Packet Umeed, Kahi Toh Hoga.
So, it will be interesting to watch Sparsh and Azaan together for the first time in two different roles. Well, for now we can say that from Monday we are goanna have a match between two kids in a competition of positive versus negative.
Well we all know the result of who will be the winner, but it will be interesting to watch some fun as the two kids display their power.

Why Are Glowsticks Dangerous
In Brief: Phish fans have become part of the show in a number of ways (including clapping, singing, chanting, flyers, and more). But one of the most interesting, vibrant, continuous, and controversial aspects of audience participation are the "glow wars". (There have also been marshmallow "wars".) Thousands of phans throw glow-in-the-dark objects (sticks and rings) into the air in incredible arcs, across the crowd, during jams while the lights are dimmed. This came about spontaneously. Much speculation has taken place about the band's attitude towards the now not-so-spontaneous glowstick wars, but the message by now is clear: we like the glowing, but rings are better than sticks.
Caution: Please be very careful throwing things at show. There have even been extensive concerns, at least one lawsuit, and debates on rec.music.phish about whether the band even likes them, given the risks involved. Glowrings are better than glowsticks, and while the band likes the glowing, they've sent clear signals in favor of the rings. And marshmallows are even lower risk.
Origin and History: The original glowstick war was during Harpua at 11-25-94, UIC Pavillion, Chicago, II Tim Wade , but then there was a long lapse until they began to appear during "Harry Hood", where they now appear consistently and predictably. During the Harry Hood on 8-2-97, Trey askes Chris ""Topher" Kuroda" to cut the lights, so the band could play while watching the stars. At the Great Went, 8-17-97, Trey again asked Chris to cut the lights, but this time the audience began tossing glowsticks. Soon hundreds of glowsticks were flying through the darkness. The band clearly fed off of this, a fine example of the mix of band antics, jamming, and audience interaction. Trey threw some of the glowsticks that landed on the stage back into the audience. After the Great Went, Harry Hood and glowstick wars went hand in hand. By the end of 1998, they were also appearing in such songs as "Down with Disease" and "Piper". (See Harry Hood entry for longer history.) And now their placement is nearly random -- such as a 7/4/99 glow event during "Silent in the Morning"!
The band likes the glowing:
- Verbal support: There was a glowstick "war" during the second set of 8-17-97 during "Harry Hood", after which Trey yelled, "Go get some more of those things, man!.".
- Passive environment: At several shows, Trey has called for Chris kuroda (aka "Topher") to cut the lights off during "Harry Hood" (e.g. 12-30-97), presumably so that the glowsticks are easier and more fun to see.
- Active participation: Trey has often caught glowsticks in mid-air (encouraging other folks to throw them in his direction), and has on occasion gathered up couples or handfuls and tossed them back into the crowd. And, much earlier, the band apparently tossed "glowsticks" into the audience at the 1994 Thanksgiving show, although that was a much smaller crowd. And for 12-31-98, (tens of) thousands of glowrings were distributed to the audience.
- Public pride: The 1997 Christmas card from the band and its management company featured a photo of the Harry Hood glowstick war at the Great Went (mentioned above).
However - and this should be obvious but apparently isn't - you shouldn't throw anything at the band! Here, let Trey tell you...

Bio and Links
I love genealogy and the search for the information. I would rather walk a cemetery than look in a book at the information. So many stories can be told from the information found on some of the tombstones.
I research Miller, Bottorff, Craft, Brewer, Hollowell, Wadding, Vasseau, Hampton, Greene, and so so many other lines.
Will also go look up obits etc for you in Garland CO, AR.
I am past President of the Melting Pot Genealogical Society of Hot Springs, Garland CO, AR, 2008-2009. Our website is www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~armpgs Lots of information on there. The website it maintained by Patti Vance Hays who also is a member of www.Findagrave.com
If I have any mistakes I try to take care of them as soon as possible as well make these. Like the one when I accidentally posted Maple Hill Cemetery photo on the Marvell Eventide Cemetery in Phillips CO, AR. I have tried from the moment it was posted with many emails to FAG to get it removed but as of today, 8-26-2008, they have not and it is not designed where the poster can remove it.

The photo you took for James Monroe"J.M." Brew in 2007 looked like there was another headstone leaned against it. I have been out there recently. The grounds have been cleared and I do not see headstone that looks familiar to the one leaning against James. Did you get a better look at the headstone and its markings? Thank you, Kathy

The government provided a military headstone for Daniel Brackett in Sept 1930 and it was shipped to the attention of James Adair in Sallisaw, OKLA. Could you have a photo taken of it and posted to his memorial? It should be in the Daniel Brackett Cemetery in Sallisaw. I can email you a copy of the government's filled request.
Thank you,

Linda, I saw you have a request for John Bottorff b1777 d1867 stone photograph. I have one. It is owned by the Charlestown Public Library. I saw your note about the record owner can't be contacted on here so I can't add the photo that way. I was considering creating a new record for John Bottorff or if you want to. Is there anyway to contact findagrave and get them to transfer the record ownership? Basically I can send you a copy of this picture if you want. Let me know.

Cheerful, Creative, Crocheter and Collector of all things Colorful describes me to a C--er, I mean a T. My sweet, left-handed granny taught me (a righty) to crochet when I was but a youngster. My first project was a hideously long scarf for my dad. It seems I just didn't know when to stop--something my teachers told me in school, too! Although crochet and other craftiness have always been part of my life, I channeled my energy and creativity into teaching Jr. High and High School sciences for many years.
When I am not "yarning" (as described by my youngest), I treasure time with my family, friends, running, thrift store shopping, and learning new creative skills.

With a subtle color-changing primary yarn and 4 coordinating yarns held two together at a time, this cowl works up speedy quick and is a great stash buster. It's versatile as it can be worn in a loop with or without buttons or crossed with the buttons in the front.
This detailed and simple pattern includes 3 pages of instructions to make a cowl for you or to give as a gift. Additional yarns are provided for a second colorway, as well as instructions for easily adjusting the width and length of the cowl so it can be adapted for any size--even a toddler!
This pattern calls for 1 skein of the primary yarn and much less than one skein of each of the 4 secondary yarns. You will also need two 2 inch (5cm) buttons (optional).
This pattern is written in American English crochet terms.

Seychelles, with an estimated population of 86,525, has the smallest population of any African state. Austronesian seafarers or Arab traders were the first to visit the uninhabited Seychelles. The earliest recorded sighting by Europeans took place in 1502 by the Portuguese Admiral Vasco da Gama.
The Seychelles were used as a transit point for trade between Africa and Asia and also occasionally by pirates until the French began to take control starting in 1756. The islands were named after Jean Moreau de Séchelles, Louis XV's Minister of Finance.
Mauritius is a 'world in one island' destination. In addition to the main island of Mauritius, the republic includes the islands of Cargados, Carajos, Rodrigues and Agalega islands as well.
The island is loaded with historic sights, cultural diversity, geographic variation and almost limitless activities to distract you from the daily grind of beach and pool. But perhaps its single biggest asset is the relaxed charm of its warm and welcoming people.
The British took control of the islands during the Napoleonic Wars, and Mauritius became independent from the UK in 1968.
The main languages spoken in Mauritius are Mauritian Creole, French and English. English is the only official language but most of the television programmes are in French.
The island of Mauritius is renowned for having been the only known home of the dodo. This bird was an easy prey to settlers due to its weight and inability to fly, and became extinct less than eighty years after the initial European colonization.
Because it is an island destination, the smells, noises and bustle of the mercantile capital Port Louis, Africa's wealthiest city, are never far away, while the busy garment markets in the Central Plateau towns of Quatre Bornes and Curepipe and Black River Gorges National Park's dramatic virgin forests give the lie to Mauritius being just another beach destination. The beaches range from the stunning sand-rimmed lagoons and popular wide public beaches to the picturesque islands off the country's coastline, there's truly something for everyone here. Add to this the joys of Chinese, Indian, French and African cuisine, the rousing beat of séga music and the infectious party spirit of the locals, and you soon understand why Mauritius really is so many people's idea of paradise on earth.

Disgrace Chapter 21 Summary
- David and Rosalind meet for coffee. She keeps looking at his gross, misshapen ear.
- Rosalind says she heard about his "trial" at the University and knocks him for not doing a better job defending himself.
- Then Rosalind tells David that she saw Melanie recently. She disses him for throwing his life away over a young girl like her.
- David gets all hot and bothered by the mention of Melanie. He wonders if it's over. He feels old and regretful.
- David goes to Melanie's play. He wishes he could get a sign to tell him what to do. He thinks about Melanie naked.
- David suddenly remembers a German hitchhiker that he picked up one time and had sex with. He thinks of all the lovers he's had and how they've all changed his life in some way.
- Then a spitball hits David in the head and he hears someone making hissing noises. It's Ryan, Melanie's boyfriend.
- David leaves. Ryan follows him into the parking lot. Ryan tells him to "stay with [his] own kind" and that "Melanie will spit in [his] eye if she sees [him]" (21.66-71). David is shocked to hear this.
- David drives around and finds a hooker. She's clearly either drunk or high. She gives him oral sex in the car. David's like, whoa, I forgot that feeling better can be that easy!

RestrictionsNo biking in White Clay Creek State Park during hunting season.
Overview2:22 average time for 15.5 miles. Details
Middle Run Valley Natural Area is located between two sections of White Clay Creek State Park. Both Middle Run and White Clay have many singletrack trails for mountain bikers to ride. The trails are generally smooth, hard packed clay which enables fast flowing rides mostly at the intermediate skill level. Both areas are connected by trails, so all trails are available from any parking area.
Need To KnowThere is a fee for parking in White Clay Creek parking areas. Middle Run has a free day use lot near the Tri-State Bird Rescue off Possum Hollow road. The free lot fills up quickly when the riding conditions are good. Another free option is Paper Mill Park located a couple of miles north on Papermill road. There is a connector trail from Paper Mill Park to Middle Run.
DescriptionThis tour begins in the Middle Run day use parking lot.
From the parking lot, follow the Lenape Cutoff and Lenape trails to a tunnel that goes under Papermill road and into White Clay Creek. The tour follow the major trails in this section of the White Clay Creek. The Bryan's Field trail loop is taken to a connector to Whitley Farms trail. The northern half of Whitley Farms leads to another connector which crosses Pleasant Hill road into the David English area. Our tour did the entire David English loop. The Twins Pond cutoff trail can be taken just after passing the park office to shorten the David English loop if desired.
After the David English loop, the tour follows the Whitley Connector trail back to the southwest section of Bryan's Field which leads back to the tunnel. Riding through the tunnel and back into Middle Run, the tour explores the entire Lenape trail before return to the parking lot.
This tour covers the trails north of the Middle Run day use parking lot. There is about the same trail mileage south of the parking lot in both the Middle Run Natural Area and the Judge Morris section of White Clay Creek. A future tour will explore those trails.

Lenten Art Exhibit Blends Poetry, Visual Art, and Imagination
The Center for Lifelong Learning will mark the Lenten season with Poetry, Art, and the Spirituality of the Imagination: A Lenten Meditation. This exhibit combines Scripture, poetry, and the ink drawings of Israel Galindo, Associate Dean. The exhibit will be on view at the Harrington Center from February 28 through May 17, with an artist's reception on March 4.
"For several years my daily devotional practice involved reading Scripture and poetry with meditation on the text of both," says Galindo. "Later I incorporated sketching as part of the daily discipline of lectio divina. These ink drawings are a result of that practice."
Each drawing is accompanied by poetic texts. The viewer is invited to view the art as a response to the poetry, and consider his or her own response. A Lenten study guide will be available as well.
Poetry, Art, and the Spirituality of the Imagination: A Lenten Meditation will be available for viewing Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm at the Harrington Center.
To make an appointment for after-hours viewing, please contact

Scenic Bike Safari of Fuerteventura
Does the thrill of biking get your adrenaline pumping? Are you looking for a new trail to explore? Do you love surrounding yourself with unique scenery? If you said "yes" to either of those questions, then a scenic bike safari through Fuerteventura is the perfect fit!
"Fuerte-what?" you might ask. Fuerteventura is one of the Canary Islands, owned by Spain. A major feature of this island is the attractiveness of its landscape, with lots of stone and impressive beaches.
For this particular tour, there are three different levels of difficulty available: easy, south tour, also known as the medium level, and the Fuerte-Pur tour, known as the advanced level. It's good to have choices, right?
The easy tour will cover a distance of 28 kilometres. Beginning your journey, you will be picked up in a minibus from Fuerteventura Playa and will be driven to Betancuria. After getting your bikes, you will ride through the valley of 1000 palm trees, eventually coming to the lake 'Vega de Rio Palma'. As you continue, you will stop for a picnic on the beach in Ajuy, a little fishing village. Continue to the caves of Ajuy before you head back by bike to the west-coast.
Covering 35 kilometres, the South tour will take you biking down uneven paths. Jandia is the starting point of this mountain biking journey, while Punta de Jandia marks the end. In between those two points, you will enjoy wondrous views of beaches and the historical Villa Winter.
Now, for all of you hard-core bikers out there, the advanced level will take you on a 50 to 80 kilometre ride filled with mountain-biking and uneven paths uphill, downhill and along beaches. Like the South tour, the advanced tour begins in Jandia. As you leave Jandia, you will bike past La Pared and stop for a picnic on the beach. How wonderful is that?! After the break, continue on to the west coast, biking through small villages on your way!
So, if you're an adventure seeker looking for an out of the ordinary tour, then look no further than our scenic bike safari of Fuerteventura!

'Take Home' Messages
Luther Markwart focused on "take home" messages in his summary remarks toward the conclusion of this year's American Sugarbeet Growers Association annual meeting. "What do we tell our growers? What do we do as leaders of this industry?" ASGA's longtime executive vice president asked the local and regional grower association leaders in attendance.

By Ann Perry*
The whole point of growing sugarbeets is to produce sugar. But once the beets are harvested and stored for processing, they slowly start to decay, which lowers their sucrose levels.

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Qantas has completed a reconfiguration of its flagship Airbus A380 fleet, with all twelve aircraft now sporting an increased number of economy and premium economy seats.
The rejigged superjumbos can carry 484 passengers, an increase of 34 from the previous headcount of 450.
The overall tally sees 371 economy berths compared to the old 332 (an rise of 39 seats), with three more premium economy seats on top of the former 32.
The business class cabin has been reduced in size from 72 to 64 seats, with several of the self-service bars and snack areas axed to free up revenue-earning space for more seats as Qantas continues to face tough competition on international routes.
Most of the additional 39 economy seats are located in a new economy section at the rear of the upper deck, where premium economy cabin was previously found.
This will likely be the cabin of choice for travellers on a budget – especially if you can grab a window seat, as those come with a deep bin under the window for keeping your laptop, tablet, toiletries and other inflight kit within reach.
Premium economy has been nudged forward into the rear of the old business class cabin.
Qantas has orders in place for eight more A380s, with two due for 2016-2017 and six more starting from 2018-2019, but the airline has yet to advise if these will share the same configuration as the current superjumbos.
Read: Towards the 600-seat superjumbo
Longer queues for the loo
But putting more bums on more seats could mean a longer line for the toilets, especially during peak times such as after meals, before bed-time and prior to landing.
We've done the maths: there used to be four bathrooms for 72 business class passengers, along with two reserved for 32 premium economy passengers.
But the new layout sees premium economy sharing the same two toilets as the bulk of business class, as those loos have been relocated from the front of the larger business class cabin to the rear boundary between business and premium economy.
The revised headcount and loo count means the same four bathrooms must be shared between 99 passengers.
There's also one fewer loo in the downstairs economy section, resulting in seven toilets for 341 economy passengers instead of eight toilets for 332.
Scoping out the best seats in the revamped Qantas A380s
This quick sketch illustrates the major changes upstairs, superimposed on the old A380 seating chart so you can see what's different.
Here's the official seatmap for the reconfigured Airbus A380, as supplied by Qantas to Australian Business Traveller – click on the image for a larger view or download the Qantas seatmap [1MB PDF].
Many favourite seats of frequent flyers have gone missing in the new configuration, including the business class seats in exit row 24; and in premium economy, row 38 (a middle block of three seats) plus 38J and 38K, which were top picks for their copious legroom beyond the standard 38 inch pitch.
So what are the new best seats to snare, and the ones to avoid if you can?
The best business class seats on the Qantas A380
Here's the new business class seatmap for the Qantas Airbus A380 with our recommendations.
Row 11: in a three-row mini-cabin at the very front of the upper deck, and away from the traffic heading for the lavatories and galley kitchens behind row 13, these seats are a good bet – although they're close to the self-service bar and the business class lounge area, so move further back if absolutely undisturbed sleep is a priority.
Rows 12 & 13: these seats remain a good choice for reduced engine noise, with many AusBT readers making a beeline for row 12 when reserving their seats.
15A 15B 15J 15K: these are useful seats if privacy's important to you: with no centre pairs, they feel a bit more separate than in the main cabin. Beware that the galley kitchens are right in front of you, though.
Rows 18-19: right in the middle of the main cabin, these seats are likely to be among the quietest on the plane -- a bonus for getting a good night's sleep.
E & F seats: if you're an aisle fan, pick these centre pairs to avoid having a window passenger climbing over you.
A & K seats: need frequent access to your carry-on? There's a special side bin next to every window seat.
The worst business class seats on the Qantas A380
20A 20K: while every other window seat in business class has a storage compartment next to it, these seats don't, so avoid them if keeping your things close to you is important.
The best premium economy seats on the Qantas A380
Here's a seatmap of the compact premium economy cabin for your ready reference.
24A 24B 24J 24K: for legroom, these are the best seats in the cabin, since they're right behind the emergency exits. Bear in mind that this area is often used by other passengers as an 'inflight stretching zone', and if you're sensitive to the cold you'll want to wrap up warmly in case there's a draught.
24D 24E 24F: the legroom in these seats is curtailed slightly by the bulkhead wall in front, which also contains the only bassinet crib position in premium economy in front of 24E. We'd still pick it for the ease of getting in and out, though -- even in the middle E seat.
A and K seats: on the upper deck of the A380, there are window bins for each window passenger. That gives you a bit of extra elbow room, space to store your carry-ons, and somewhere to stash your laptop or tablet if you're watching something during a meal.
D and F seats: if you're an aisle fan, you're best off with one of the middle trio of seats: the middle seats will be the last to fill up, so you might luck out with an empty seat next to you. Even if there is a middle passenger, you should only be bothered half as often if they need to get out, since they could turn left or right to head to the aisle.
The worst premium economy seats on the Qantas A380
Row 28: right in front of economy, these are likely to be relatively noisy. Fortunately, there's no set of bassinet cribs behind you, but avoid the row if you can.
E seats: who wants a middle seat when six out of seven seats are either a window or an aisle?

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Protesters erected barricades from charred vehicles in central Kiev as the sound of stun grenades pierce the freezing air, after a night of rioting sparked by passage of laws aims at curbing street protests.
A large demonstration against anti-protest laws turned violent Sunday, when hundreds of radical protesters broke off from the main peaceful rally and marched toward the parliament building.

Ralph Ellison
Ralph Ellison Music
As a trumpet player and lifelong jazz aficionado, Ralph Ellison saw music as an integral part of his life and wrote about it frequently. When Modern Library published an anthology of his music writing, the publisher also arranged for this companion disc that features the artists he wrote about. It includes stars like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, as well as a recording of a lecture that Ellison gave at the Library of Congress.
Ellison once wrote that Armstrong and his fellow jazz greats were "the stewards of our vaunted American optimism."_CITATION30_ Some of Armstrong's songs have practically become national anthems—who doesn't tear up a little at "What a Wonderful World"?—but Armstrong's contribution to jazz and American culture goes far beyond a few catchy tunes.
It has been said that Invisible Man is structured more like a jazz composition than a novel. Armstrong's classic "Black and Blue" figures prominently in the book, with the song lulling the narrator into a nearly-hallucinatory state.
"For more than 40 years Duke Ellington's music has been not only superb entertainment but an important function of national morale,"_CITATION31_ Ellison wrote in the essay "Homage to Duke Ellington on His Birthday," penned in honor of the trumpet master's 70th birthday. Start with the song "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo," one of Ellison's favorites, and work your way through the rest of this great artist's catalogue.
In a 1958 essay, Ellison wrote that "Jimmy Rushing was not simply a local entertainer; he expressed a value, an attitude about the world for which our lives afforded no other definition."_CITATION32_ To Ellison, jazz artist Rushing expressed a bold optimism and dignity at a time when the rest of white society pushed black Americans to the side.
"Bessie Smith might have been a 'blues queen' to society at large," Ellison wrote of this singer, but in the black community "she was a priestess, a celebrant who affirmed the values of the group and man's ability to deal with chaos."_CITATION33_ Listen to Smith's singular voice for yourself.

Conway Twitty: Christmas Caroler?
Most know country legend Conway Twitty for his iconic voice and such hits as "Hello Darlin'" and "You've Never Been This Far Before." But not many are aware that he also penned a Christmas carol. Written under his given name, Harold Jenkins, "Snow for Johnny" is a heartwarming holiday greeting that proved Conway wasn't just the premier balladeer of his generation.
The song, most famously recorded by Burl Ives, gets a folksy spin from Georgia country group Lauren St. Jane and the Dead Westerns on the terrific new charity holiday album A Rock by the Sea Christmas: Volume 3. The organization Rock by the Sea aims to produce music festivals and events to benefit cancer charities, including this year's beneficiary, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando, Fla.
Other highlights on A Rock by the Sea Christmas include country-rocker Travis Denning's wry "Ballad of Rudolph" and Will Turpin (of Georgia rock group Collective Soul) interpreting "What Child Is This?"
Look for more on this season's Christmas albums in the Nov.19 issue of Country Weekly, on stands Nov. 12.

PARKERSBURG - Wood County commissioners heard the first tax appeals Thursday after convening as the Board of Equalization and Review.
State code requires county commissions convene as the board during February to allow taxpayers to challenge their property values. Failure to appeal forfeits the right of appeal.
Taxpayers who are not satisfied with the outcome of their case can appeal to circuit court. Any rulings made by the board are in effect for one year.
The commissioners set 10 a.m.-noon Thursday for walk-ins; no one appeared for hearings at that time. Only one hearing was scheduled in the afternoon.
The only scheduled hearing Thursday afternoon was for residential properties owned by Reeder Sams on Staunton Turnpike in Clay District and Sycamore Run Road in Tygart District.
According to county records, the 6965 Staunton Turnpike property consists of a vacant house and about 58 acres of land. The current appraised value on the property and house is $90,200. Last year's value was $67,700.
Fact Box
Board Notes
* Wood County commissioners convened as the Board of Equalization and Review to hear tax appeals beginning Thursday.
* The board will meet again from 10 a.m.-noon, Feb. 3, 6, 10, and 13 and, if needed, afternoon appointments can be scheduled from 1-3 p.m. on those dates. Appointments will be available 5-7 p.m. Feb. 6 by appointment only.
* Appointments for all tax appeal hearings must be made through the county administrator's office, 304-424-1976.
Assessor's office appraisers said the property is mostly woodland and that was the main reason for the increase.
"The rates for woodland properties have increased. Tracking the sales since 2003, we ended up with about 31 sales in 2008 of woodland properties. We determined it showed an increase in the value; it's at about $972 an acre now as shown through the sales and we had 31 sales, and worked with median prices," said Dean Cottrell, chief appraiser in the Wood County Assessor's Office.
Taxes on Sams' Staunton Turnpike property went from $447 last year to an estimated $596 this year.
Sams' Sycamore Run Road property consists of about 71 acres, land primarily listed as used for hunting and there is a cabin on the property.
The appraised value last year was $55,900; the new value is $77,200. Taxes were $369 and are now $510. It is listed as woodland and was also subject to the rate increases, according to the assessor's office.
"We have some scheduled for Feb. 3. We have gotten several calls. We also had some additional hearing requests for Thursday, but they met informally with the staff; we explained the changes; they were satisfied and canceled their hearings before the board," said Wood County Assessor Rich Shaffer.
The state conducts the industrial and oil and gas property appraisals. Commercial and residential appraisals are done by the local assessor's office.
There were 4,500 valuation letters sent out to taxpayers in the fall. Assessors are required to send out the letters annually to property owners whose property values have increased by 10 percent or more.
Last year, the board handed down rulings on three residential property owners, one industrial and one commercial property following the board hearings.
Shaffer's appraisal staff is available to meet informally on property appraisals by calling 304-424-1842.
The commissioners will convene from 10 a.m. to noon on Monday, Thursday, Feb. 10 and 13 for walk-ins, and, if needed, afternoon appointments can be scheduled from 1-3 p.m. on those dates. Appointments will be available from 5-7 p.m. Thursday by appointment only.
Appointments will be available if needed for residential property only beginning at 10 a.m. to noon and from 1-3 p.m. Feb. 18, except Saturdays and Sundays, and concluding at 3 p.m. on Feb. 21. The board will not be in session on Feb. 17 because that is a holiday.
Appointments for all hearings must be made through the county administrator's office, 304-424-1976.
The board will discuss the hearings and do any on-site reviews Feb. 24 and make its decisions. Appellants will be notified in writing of the board's rulings.
Legislation went into effect in 2012 that gives taxpayers the option of requesting a board of assessment appeal in October. Those requests need to be filed in February.
Changes made by the board of review are in effect for one year.

View the original review at: http://www.countryweekly.com/reviews/caught-act-live-eric-church
Never been a huge fan of the so-called "live" album, as most fail to provide any pure visceral experience and often seem a bit contrived. That said, Caught in the Act does give you a clear idea of what it might be like to actually attend an Eric Church concert in person.
The 17-track project, recorded from Eric's show at the Tivoli Theatre in Chattanooga, Tenn., captures the natural ebbs and flows of his live set.
The opening number, "Before She Does," gets things off to a rousing start and segues nicely into "How 'Bout You" and his sing-along anthem, "Drink In My Hand," which gets plenty of inebriated (we're guessing) assistance from the crowd.
The entire recording, in fact, demonstrates Eric's skill at pacing a live performance, taking things down a notch at just the right moments. The sound reproduction is also of a higher quality than most of its ilk, as individual instruments stand out and don't get lost in the mix.
What's missing, of course, is the visual element, which is especially notable here. At moments, you can hear fans reacting to something that's obviously happening onstage but it's lost on the listener.
Outside of that, Eric's hits like "Creepin'" and "Smoke a Little Smoke" stand out as audience favorites. He wraps it all with "Springsteen," throwing in a slower, stripped-down version of The Boss' "Born to Run" as a cool bonus.

Weak Signal for MetroPCS
MetroPCS has a new deal. But was it worth the fuss?
The carrier's shares closed down 2.2% at $11.31 on Thursday, despite a sweetened offer from Deutsche Telekom for a merger with subsidiary T-Mobile USA. Hedge funds P. Schoenfeld Asset Management and Paulson & Co., large MetroPCS shareholders that had opposed the deal, both said they would vote for the new offer.
PSAM's proxy fight appears to have benefitted shareholders: The stock is up 12% since Mar. 13, the day before it launched. But shares are still trading 8% below their closing price on Oct. 3, the day the merger proposal was announced.
Indeed, investors apparently remain skeptical about the combination's prospects. In October, Sanford C. Bernstein valued the deal at $11.84 to $19.51 a share, including synergies, depending on the multiple.
Of course, MetroPCS and T-Mobile have both lost subscribers since then Sprint Nextel also announced an investment from Softbank, making it a stronger competitor. But T-Mobile now has the iPhone and new pricing plans. Moreover, the new offer would give the combined company less debt.
Investors may be awaiting results before they make the call.

Pioneers! O Pioneers!
by Walt Whitman
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
Remember that preface we quoted in our "In a Nutshell" for this poem? It's the preface to the first edition of Leaves of Grass, published in 1855. By our count, the word "America" appears nineteen times in that preface. Talk about obsessed! Although, we guess we're not ones to talk. We counted, after all.
Walt Whitman was related to Thomas Jefferson. In fact, Thomas Jefferson was one of his brothers. Okay, so we're not talking about the same Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence. But, while Walt's brother "Jeff" didn't become the president of the United States, he did go on to become Superintendent of Water Works in St. Louis, which we think is still pretty impressive. (Source.)
If anyone ever tells you that education begins and ends in the classroom, you tell them that the greatest American poet finished his formal education at the age of eleven. He educated himself with voracious reading in books at his local library, through visits to museums and through the talks and debates he'd start up with most anyone he met. Of course, this isn't for everyone. So stay in school, Shmoopers. We mean it! (Source.)

How do you keep customers coming back to your site?
The first, and best, way to get more repeat customers is to provide outstanding customer service.
If customers get what they want at a good price and every interaction they have with you is a positive one, you're not providing a lot of reasons for them to shop elsewhere. Making sure that your customer service processes (order processing, customer notifications, returns and exchanges, etc.) are bullet-proof is the cheapest way to keep customers coming back. This obviously has the dual benefit of keeping the revenue coming in, but it also reduces the necessity to do more advertising to replace customers who never come back because you screwed something up.
Rewards programs. Another way to generate repeat customers is with a loyalty or rewards program. Some e-commerce platforms have this ability built in. If yours doesn't, it's often possible to purchase third-party programs that you "plug in" to your system, or you may choose to build your own loyalty program. Most people are familiar with the concept because of airline frequent flyer miles, rewards points on their credit cards, and so on.
If you implement a rewards program, make the benefit accessible. Many companies don't see good returns because the reward levels are so high that there's little motivation for the customer to participate. (Are your customers really going to spend $10,000 to get a free pair of gloves?)
Promotions. Frequently updated sales items and promotions are outstanding tools to keep people coming back, especially if you back them up with e-mails informing them of changes. A cool example of a site that capitalizes on this is Woot.com. It sells only one product, but the gimmick is that every day it's a different product. Millions of people go there every day to see what the new offering is. A similar program may help you keep people coming back and, if you choose good products, keep them buying.
New products. Speaking of changing stuff on your site, another way to keep people buying is to offer new and unique products on your site continually. If people know that you are actively sourcing and offering items they can't find elsewhere, they will keep coming back to see what the latest-and-greatest thing is that they didn't know they needed but now can't live without.
Gift certificates. Internet-only gift certificates are another tool to keep repeat transactions coming in. While they may not start out as a repeat customer due to the nature of gift certificates (the original purchaser of the gift certificate could be a rider's wife or brother) the recipient of the gift certificate now has the chance to cash in a $50 gift certificate on a $300 purchase and then, based on the other items mentioned above, become a repeat customer.
To make this process as painless as possible, your e-commerce platform should allow for the issuance and redemption of gift certificates automatically. This keeps the amount of errors and fraud to a minimum because you eliminate the human element. The system spits out a gift certificate code when it's purchased, and accepts the code and deducts the order total when it's redeemed.
Entertainment. Blogs, forums, and other participatory elements are a great way to keep people coming back. And while this in and of itself does not guarantee repeat customers, just getting them back on your site is more than half the battle.
If you can get them to come back to your site often, and you follow the ideas above, as well as follow the merchandising suggestions from previous columns, you should see a dramatic increase in repeat customers.

The Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) program produces monthly data on changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. The CPI in the United States is defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as 'a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services'. "Media and Investing/ Consumers Price Index" will be the subject of Seniors With Inquiring Minds (SWIM) presentation on Friday. Ryan W. McCray, Financial Advisor with Edwards Jones will explain the Consumer Price Index and discuss how it has changed over the years. He will bring a guest from Harford Funds and jointly they will discuss media releases and their effects on investing.
Ryan W. McCray has lived in the high desert his entire life. Graduating from Granite Hill High School, he worked in retail banking for five years, then transitioned into investment banking for two years. His SWIM presentation is at Trinity Lutheran Church, 16138 Molino Drive, Victorville.

One-In-14 Downloads Is Malware
One in every 14 downloads is a piece of malware according to information released by Microsoft yesterday. To try to inhibit the growth, anti-virus defenses have to attack the problem from other directions.
Despite improved browser security over the last few years, new forms of propagation have developed including highly-targeted attacks known as spear-phishing, which go after individuals or groups of individuals.
Social media, and in particular Facebook, has seen a new way of spreading harm. Facebook users get a message purporting to be from a friend which suggests they view a video. The video site purports to require users to install some software to see the clip. but actually it is a piece of malware.
Traditional AV techniques have relied on identifying the piece of malware and blocking it, but that relies on the AV identifying the code. Hackers use a technique called "server side polymorphism" to generate different strains which makes detection much harder. White-listing and black-listing will only cover a small percentage of downloads. The problem lies in the space between.
Both Microsoft and Symantec have products to help dissuade users from downloading things if they don't know what they are. Both approach the problem from a similar position. Instead of blocking by the source of the code, which is easily circumvented, they look at the reputation of the file you are downloading.
Microsoft's SmartScreen filter, which is built into IE9, checks to see if the program is digitally signed, and how popular it is. If the download is new and unrecognized then a warning will appear cautioning users that the file is "not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer".
Rather disturbingly even after such a warning, Microsoft says that some 5% of people click anyway. There are some people you just can't help.
Symantec, which bundles it as part of its AV products, likewise uses its reputation-based system to assess factors such as how new the code is, how many people have downloaded it, as well as other associated threat indicators.
Both make use of the network effect. If users, having been warned that code may be malware, do not download it, this can be used to improve the accuracy of the code's reputation.
There are issues with reputation-based systems inside corporate environments where enterprises may use bespoke software services and may trigger a warning. But any IT manager would rather deal with the minor problems of false positives, than have to purge their network after an infection.

Eh, not really thrilled with this at all. DVerse wanted a food poem, and I realized that almost all the good food stories I have are already worked into poems; not many options! The situation behind this poem would be better suited to another poem, and the food is not really the centerpiece. But I guess it will kind of suffice? It remains the first and only time that decorum demanded I try foie gras. It was delicious; never again.
You should be in my film, the empress says,
holding court around the dining room table. She is still
formidable in her eighties: she squeezes my hand
with her own, and her rings flash in the light.
Skeletons and mannequins occupy the parlor,
and night birds flap through the evening as it breathes.
And I start thinking too much about the future
at the same time that I think too much about the past.
We are all speaking in hushed tones, sitting in
highbacked chairs. Someone is passing a baguette
for the foie gras that sits like a severed cat's tongue,
grape jelly for its sorry blood. The empress smiles.
I am too polite for my own good; I make polite
decisions, feel the doors of what my life could be
opening and closing. You should be in my film;
but the night birds are singing, go home, go home.
Say nothing, and the empress' attention wanders.
The future grows narrow, thinning like a pink taste
in the mouth. Another day begins to ferment
underneath us. My bags have already been packed.

DH makes the world's best chicken/turkey soup every time we have a roast chicken, or at Thanksgiving and Christmas, a very large turkey.
We like noodles/pasta in our soup and have tried so many ways to keep them at the proper consistency, but they're always either mushy and floury/pasty tasting or just plain disintegrated.
We've tried the same things for both the extra wide egg noodles and macaroni (pasta)shapes and nothing has worked:
- putting the pasta/noodles in raw into hot, completed soup and hoping the soup will cook them
- putting the noodles/pasta in par-cooked into hot, completed soup and hoping the soup will cook them the rest of the way
- putting the noodles/pasta in par-cooked into cold, completed soup and hoping that they will cook the rest of the way when we heat up the soup
I really don't want to make separate noodles/pasta to add every time we have soup. He makes so much soup at one time that we freeze it in many containers. It would be a pain to cook noodles every time we thaw out soup, but if that's the only way....
Are noodles or macaroni/pasta better? How can we have normal-tasting noodles in our homemade soup? We have a new turkey carcass from Christmas and are bound and determined to succeed!!!!

We already know we love the water, but finally somebody tells us why...
In her new book, Swim: Why We Love the Water, published by PublicAffairs Books, Lynn Sherr reports that the benefits of regular swimming extend even to your mental health.
According to the book description on Amazon.com,
"Swim is a celebration of swimming and the effect it has on our lives. It's an inquiry into why we swim—the lure, the hold, the timeless magic of being in the water. It's a look at how swimming has changed over the millennia, how this ancient activity is becoming more social than solitary today. It's about our relationship with the water, with our fishy forebearers, and with the costumes that we wear. You'll even find a few songs to sing when you push out those next laps.
Swimming enthusiast Lynn Sherr explores every aspect of the sport, from the biology of swimming to the fame of Esther Williams; from turquoise pools and wild water to the training of Olympians; and she reveals the secret of buoyancy so that anyone can avoid the example of the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who lamented, "Why can't I swim, it seems so very easy?" When his friend, the biographer Edward John Trelawny, said, "because you think you can't," Shelley plunged into Italy's Arno River and dropped like a rock. With Swim, you can avoid that happening to you."
The book is winning rave reviews and is a favorite among the SwimEx staff. Learn more.
