SIKESTON -- Despite salt shortages and high prices, those who are in charge of keeping the roadways clear promise the same level of service they have provided in previous years.
"The commissioners have ensured me to do whatever it takes to keep the roads safe for the public," said Norman Brant, supervisor of the Scott County Highway Department. "So if it takes more money (than what's in the budget) we'll just have to find it some place."
Brant said the prices for salt have more than tripled this year. "The cost for a truckload was about $600, but now runs about $2,000," he said.
That's mostly just due to the simple rules of supply and demand.
"Everybody just about ran out (of salt) last winter, with all the storms, so everybody is having to restock their whole bay," he said. "Last winter, we used just about everything we had."
In addition to the depleted supply, the Missouri Department of Transportation pointed to the strong hurricane season and high Mississippi River levels, which made delivery of the salt via river barges slow. However, salts bids are taken in May, so it was virtually unaffected by the supply decline that occurred late in the summer, according to a news release.
"And we were fortunate in this part of the state, with the Mississippi River nearby, that we get a lot of our salt by barges," said Keith Gentry, maintenance superintendent for the Missouri Department of Transportation's southeast district, which is headquartered in Sikeston. "We did have a price increase, but it wasn't as significant as some other sections, such as northwest Missouri."
Gentry said the local department is currently getting shipments of salt ordered earlier this year. During the winter, as supplies are used part of the agency's contract agreement with suppliers is to provide for a replenishment before April 1.
Although the salt will be stored until winter weather strikes, some work will be done soon on bridges.
"With the temperatures dropping, we'll be doing some salt brining on the bridges," Gentry said. "Once the temperatures start dropping like they are now, you have the possibility of frost on the bridges."
Salt costs and shortages are not an issue in either New Madrid or Mississippi counties, which do not salt the roads, according to highway department officials there.
Officials are keeping their fingers crossed for a mild winter, which won't once again deplete salt supplies.
"But we'll just have to wait and see what happens," said Gentry. "In Southeast Missouri, you never know."
Brant agreed. "But I don't believe it could be as bad as last winter," he said.
Either way, the departments assured they are in good shape and ready to go if needed.
They also reminded motorists that, when severe winter weather hits, there are priorities when it comes to clearing roads.
"The interstate is definitely our No. 1 priority -- to keep it clean and open," said Gentry. Then the department focuses on major routes, such as Highway 61 and other numbered roads, then falling back to secondary routes.
"A lot of people don't understand that we have a lot of roads to clean," said Gentry. "But we get out there as quick as we can and we have people out there 24/7."
In Scott County, the priorities are decided when initially analyzing a storm. "We look at where the storm hits, then pick the primary routes in those areas," said Brant. "We have several two-man teams running."
Their advice for drivers? Take it nice and slow, and be patient. "And stay back and give the trucks their room," advised Gentry.
He also noted that, for those traveling, the department has an interactive map on its Web site, which shows winter weather conditions, in addition to work zones throughout the year. "Those are updated as conditions change," he said. There is information available by phone, too.

Astellas' biotech subsidiary Prosidion has sold its dipeptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor patent estate for type 2 diabetes therapy, and the associated royalty stream, to asset acquisition firm Royalty Pharma for $609 million in cash. Prosidion was acquired by Astellas as part of the latter's buy-out of OSI Pharmaceuticals a year ago.
Under terms of the deal Royalty will receive 100% of royalty payments and milestones relating to the DPP-IV assets and existing licensing deals, and will take over from Prosidion the relevant patent estate and its management. Prosidion acquired a portfolio of medical-use patents relating to the use of DPP-IV inhibitors in the treatment of type 2 diabetes back in 2004, and has since nonexclusively outlicensed the IP to pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
Oxford, U.K.-based Prosidion is dedicated to the discovery and development of novel therapies for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Its lead compound PSN821 is an orally administered G protein-coupled receptor GPR119 agonist currently in Phase II development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. A second candidate, PSN842, has completed preclinical development as a potential treatment for obesity.
Astellas says it is also looking at potential options for Prosidion's non-DPP-IV assets, including its pipeline and R&D capabilities. Possibilities, including a merger or sale of some or all of the assets, or minority investments and strategic alliances, are all being evaluated.
Royalty Pharma invests in revenue-producing intellectual property, and primarily royalty interests in marketed and late-stage development biopharmaceuticals. The firm says it currently owns royalty interests in 17 approved and marketed biopharmaceutical products, and another 5 products undergoing clinical trials and/or regulatory review in the U.S. and Europe.
In April Royalty paid $487 million to acquire the rights to certain royalties payable on sales of the pharmacological stress agent Lexiscan® (regadenoson) and the injectable antibiotic Cubicin® (daptomycin) from an undisclosed seller.

The Catholic Community of Brownville and Dexter was formed in December 2004 as a result of the merger between the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Brownville and St. Elizabeth Seton Church in Dexter. The two parishes had been joined under one pastor since 1959. Both parishes brought rich histories to the formation of the new parish.
The Linked Parish is Saint Andrew's in Sackets Harbor and Masses at the Linked Parish are 4:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon and 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Mission Statement

There are two important questions in regard to the relation between injuries to the head and insanity. First, Is trauma a true cause of insanity, i. e., can an injury alone, acting on a normal man of healthy ancestry who is not suffering from cerebral arterial disease, syphilis, alcoholism or any other disease which affects the brain or who has not been broken down by the mere stress of life, cause insanity, or is the trauma a mere exciting cause, a provocative agent, which acting on a man already predisposed and ready to become insane gives him an opportunity so to do? Second, Does any characteristic type of insanity follow trauma? From the mental symptoms alone, while ignorant of the history of an injury, is it possible in any given case to know that a man is insane because he has received a trauma?
As to the first question no

April 9, 2014 AUGUSTA, GA-- He's going to be under the microscope all week and so far Patrick Reed is handing things just fine. On Wednesday, Reed had the chance to forget about the pressures of playing at Augusta.
Justine Reed has been his caddy since Patrick turned pro. That all changed when she became pregnant. For the first time all year, Justine was back carrying the load, all be it, not as heavy considering they don't need that many clubs on the par 3 course.
'It's an incredible experience to be out here on the Par 3 contest was fun, it was a lot of fun" said Justine Reed "I got to hit a couple of putts and just being on the bag again is just a little glimpse of what's been fun for both of us."
"(Today) was a lot of fun for both of us. I didn't stop smiling for the whole round. It was awesome to have her back on the bag and for her to be able to carry it for the par three was a lot of fun."
Depending on how things go in the next year or two, look for the newest addition to the family out with mom and dad as well.

Ravens' Terrell Suggs: 'A lot of confusion on that last play'
|01.23.12 at 1:30 pm ET
Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who had a protracted debate with ESPN's Skip Bayless last week, again talked with the "First Take" personality Monday, following the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Patriots in the AFC championship game.
Suggs said there was some uncertainty on the Ravens' sideline during the final possession, as the scoreboard indicated a different down than what the Ravens thought.
"There was just a lot of confusion on that last play," Suggs said.
When asked if he was implying that the Patriots deceived the Ravens by putting the wrong down on the scoreboard, Suggs reprimanded Bayless.
"No, I'm not saying that. And Skip, stop that. I know what you're doing," Suggs said. "You know what I'm talking about with the confusion. When Anquan Boldin fumbled the ball out of bounds, we thought he fumbled it past the first-down marker, we thought we had a first down, which we didn't. But we're reading two different things.
"No, I'm not saying that. So, Skip, once again, stop it. Be an analyst. Don't be a douchebag. You know what I mean."
Although he had no tackles (or any other statistics), Suggs said he did his job — specifically making life difficult for tight end Rob Gronkowski — and that the Ravens defenders "stopped the people we needed to stop."
Suggs did give some credit to the Patriots and said that despite holding Tom Brady to his lowest postseason passer rating, the Ravens didn't get the best of him. "No, because he's going to play another Super Bowl and we're going home to play with our kids," he said.

What looked like a serious and painful knee injury to Saints starting left tackle Jammal Brown this morning was later diagnosed as a bone bruise.
Team spokesman Doug Miller says everything came back structurally intact. Trainers carted Brown from the practice field when he crumpled to the ground with an apparent right knee injury. Teammates said he appeared to be in a lot of pain, but head coach Sean Payton said after the morning practice that trainers were optimistic the injury would not require surgery.
An MRI performed shortly after the incident did not reveal a serious injury.
Brown, who was drafted in the first round in 2005 out of Oklahoma, 13th overall, started at right tackle as a rookie and was moved to left tackle last season, when he was selected as a Pro Bowl starter. He's part of an offensive line that allowed 23 sacks in 2006, fourth lowest in the league.
It was not immediately clear how long Brown will be out of action. The Saints open their regular season September 6 at Indianapolis.
In the meantime, second-year player Zach Strief might fill in. Payton, however, was critical of Strief's performance Sunday in a preseason loss to Pittsburgh. Strief, drafted out of Northwestern as one of the Saints' two seventh-round picks, played in nine games last season and did not allow a sack.

March 24, 2014 AUGUSTA, Ga-- On the recruiting front, Augusta Christian lineman Zach Giella has become a popular prospect in the 2015 class.
Amazingly, it's all happened in the last two months.To say Giella's recruitment has blown up quickly would be an understatement.
It all started the day before the 2014 signing day when Giella picked up his first offer from the University of Kentucky.
"He said to me, 'Zach I'm going to cut to the chase. I'm offering you a full scholarship to the University of Kentucky.' Everything after that just went blurry," Giella said.
That moment was a big one for the Augusta Christian junior, but the days after have been just as dizzying.
One after the other, colleges from across the country took notice.
Fourteen offers later, the 6'7", 300 pound lineman is a highly sought-after recruit.
"Never in my craziest dreams did I think it would happen like this. All it took was one and I was gone. One after the other...I didn't even have time to digest it. It was so fast. It's really been a great ride. I'm loving it so far, hope it continues," Giella said.
While the timing happened quickly, Giella's rise is all about hard work. A few years ago, at a national underclassmen camp, Giella was beaten off the line in drills. Instead of deterring his motivation , it was moment of realization.
"Something went off in my head. I've got to put more work into this. I'm not just competing against people here. I'm competing against the whole nation, so I've got to be top dog," Giella said.
It's hard to dispute the drive, or dedication. Giella wants to decide on a school before the start of the season, so he can focus on a Lions state championship run.
The class of 2015 prospect isn't ready to announce a top five list, or a favorite among his 14 offers at this time.

Lucien Arkas
"İzmir deserves more"
Lucien Arkas is a lover of Izmir and is a member of a family that has lived in Izmir for three generations. Arkas, who has gifted many things to Izmir with investments in tourism, culture, art and sports besides being a highly successful businessman, always talks about his devotion to the city.
Arkas, who says that he invests in Izmir with the money he makes out of the city, adds that Izmir deserves so much more with the assets it possesses.
Interview: Derya ŞAHİN
Photographs: Arkas Holding Archive
You are a member of a family that has been living in Izmir for three centuries. How would Lucien Arkas İzmir?
Arkas: Izmir is important to the Arkas family. We have been living here for the past 300 years. The foundations of Arkas Holing were laid here in 1902. We love Izmir and we owe the city a lot. That is why we are working to contribute to the city in any way we can. I believe that Izmir deserves much more with its geographical location, climate, history, touristic potential, port, airport and gifted people.
You are known for your love of art and art collection besides your success in the business world. How did you start collecting art?
Arkas: I began collecting ship models 30 years ago and paintings 20 years ago. I began by purchasing the paintings I liked and commissioning the construction of ship models I admired. I never thought of collecting as bringing pieces together. Afterwards, I began working with a professional team for my art collection. We established the Arkas Collection after years of work. We gathered the paintings in two major categories: Turkish Art and Post-Impressionist Period. In the first category, there are paintings starting from 19th century all the way to the Modern Turkish art period. The second category consists of post impressionist period paintings.
My ship model collection now has 400 pieces. We cannot possibly exhibit all them at our center. Most of my ship models and antiquities are in Arkas buildings.
You are exhibiting your art collection at the Arkas Art Center and ship models and antiquities at the Arkas Nautical History Center. How did you decide to open these two institutions?
Arkas: When the French Government allocated a part of the consulate building to us for 20 years just for art purposes in exchange for the restoration of the building, I had the pleasure of gifting Izmir with an art center. There are regular exhibitions at the center which was opened in 2011. Some of these exhibitions consist of our won collection and others are works by other artists.
We opened the Arkas Art Center with an exhibition called Post Impressionism from the Arkas Collection, which was in harmony with the architectural history of the building. After the first exhibition, which included paintings by Maxime Maufra, Louis Anquetin, Émile Bernard, Maurice Denis, Maurice de Vlaminck, Édouard Vuillard and Louis Valtat, we opened our second exhibition called This Side of the Aegean from the brushstrokes of Westerners.
After these two exhibitions which included only pieces from our collection, we organized a photography exhibition by famous Turkish photographer Ahmet Ertuğ called The Echo of Silence which features photographs of famous opera buildings and libraries.
The exhibition, which began on September 15, will continue until December 30. The exhibition includes photographs of La Fenice Opera in Venice, Opera Garnier in France, Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, Palácio Nacional de Mafra in Lisbon and Trinity College Library in Dublin among many more. Arkas Art Center is open every day except Mondays and entrance is free. We always displayed our ship models in our buildings but we were thinking about exhibiting them in a private space to shed light on nautical history. We turned our house in Bornova, which was built in the 1800's into the Arkas Nautical History Center and began exhibiting our collection. There are 95 ship models, 126 ship antiquities and 67 paintings at the center.
The first trio established under a private company is also a part of Arkas Holding. Do you think of establishing an orchestra and widening the scope?
Arkas: Arkas Trio consists of three important musicians; violin soloist Tuncay Yılmaz, piano soloist Emre Elivar and German cellist Gustav Rivinius. We opted for a trio in order to introduce chamber music to the country and also took into account the mobility of a trio and the abundance of available concert halls.
As Arkas, we establish our projects for the long haul it has been a year since the Arkas Trio was assembled but they have performed greatly in and out of the country. We have had great feedback. For now, we are only focusing on Arkas Trio.
When a time where everyone points out to EXPO for the future of Izmir, you expressly point out to the importance of widening the port. Which do you think is more important for the future of Izmir?
Arkas: EXPO is of course very important; we know its contribution to the cities it was organized in. we must give our full support to the process. But EXPO will be organized in 2020. In the meantime, we have to keep working. İzmir's richest period was when the port was working efficiently. Making the Port of Izmir operational like in the all days will greatly increase activity in the city. It is important to eliminate all the problems at the port as soon as possible. First of all, we need to scan the bay and widen the port.
While many of the companies based in Izmir moved their headquarters to Istanbul, you decided to stay in Izmir. Why?
Arkas: It is important to feel that you belong somewhere. I am happy to financially and socially contribute to the city I live in but in order to help Izmir, we need to go outside its borders, earn our money and come back and invest here.
Our headquarters are in Izmir but we have offices in 13 cities. In addition, we have offices in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and 18 foreign countries. We can manage this international structure from Izmir. Latest developments in technology and communication tools help us do business and control the operation.
You received a lot of applause during your speech at the EXPO presentation. Why do you think that happened?
Arkas: During my speech, I stated that Izmir was a city of tolerance and that people living here were very happy. Tolerance is hard to come by. If EXPO will be organized in a city where people are happy to live, then I think Izmir will be the right choice.

The comparison of ordinary partitions of a set of objects is well established in the clustering literature, which comprehends several studies on the analysis of the properties of similarity measures for comparing partitions. However, similarity measures for clusterings are not readily applicable to biclusterings, since each bicluster is a tuple of two sets (of rows and columns), whereas a cluster is only a single set (of rows). Some biclustering similarity measures have been defined as minor contributions in papers which primarily report on proposals and evaluation of biclustering algorithms or comparative analyses of biclustering algorithms. The consequence is that some desirable properties of such measures have been overlooked in the literature. We review 14 biclustering similarity measures. We define eight desirable properties of a biclustering measure, discuss their importance, and prove which properties each of the reviewed measures has. We show examples drawn and inspired from important studies in which several biclustering measures convey misleading evaluations due to the absence of one or more of the discussed properties. We also advocate the use of a more general comparison approach that is based on the idea of transforming the original problem of comparing biclusterings into an equivalent problem of comparing clustering partitions with overlapping clusters.

Parenting a parrot
They make great feathered social companions but have complex needs that last a lifetime
Have you fallen under the spell of a charming parrot at your local pet shop? Are you flirting with bringing that bird home, despite lacking knowledge about bird care and behavior?
Before yielding to impulse, pause and learn from knowledgeable bird handlers at the Parrot Education and Adoption Center what is required in caring for these social yet challenging creatures.
Too many people buy parrots — the term encompasses more than 300 species — without understanding the specialized care, diet and attention they need or the complexity of their emotional and behavioral issues. Many wind up in the custody of the County of San Diego's Department of Animal Services, whose director, Dawn Danielson, knows to call PEAC for help.
"I don't know what we would do without them," she said. "When the birds become our property, we (release) them to PEAC because they are better equipped to find them appropriate homes."
Many parrots spend months and years in foster care, looking for the right home, or end up in sanctuaries.
"They're wonderful companions, but they're not for everyone. If you dislike cleaning, they're not for you. They need environmental enrichment, not just toys. You can't just stick a bird in a cage and be done with it. Too many birds live like this because people don't know any better," said Barbara Crouse, PEAC volunteer executive director and caretaker to two 30-something rescue Amazon parrots adopted through PEAC.
Most adopters don't understand the lifetime commitment involved in having parrots, she explained, or the level of parrots' intelligence, considered comparable to a toddler's.
Larger parrots can live 60 to 80 years or longer and smaller breeds about 30 years.
"The sad fact for a companion parrot is the average time in a home is five to eight years. They're going to have multiple homes. They grieve when their home is disrupted," Crouse added.
PEAC volunteers work with birds to correct behavioral problems, including screeching. Before placing birds, PEAC requires potential adopters to attend seminars on bird care, parrot personalities and behavioral problems.
Educate yourself before acquiring that charmer — and meet adoptable parrots at www.peac.org.

Atlantic Star
Those of you newer to German games may have heard of a recent classic called Showmanager. Ostensibly about casting actors for productions of plays, it is a really interesting game revolving around very careful hand management and purchasing. It was a great game, published by a smaller publisher in Germany, and was very hard to get (since it is out of print.) I looked high and low trying to track down a copy for myself for a reasonable price, but to no avail. Then I heard about Atlantic Star, a re-release of the classic. I was excited until I heard that instead casting actors in plays as the theme, now it was about cruise ship operators. Well, I am very happy to tell you that fans of the old game, and those new to the game, will find this edition to be well worth purchasing. Read on
This game is not at all hard to play, but the rules sound tricky, so I wont explain them here. Lets focus on gameplay! The idea is that you are a cruise ship operator trying to put together cruise ship packages made up of ships for different legs of the cruises. You are trying to collect high value sets of cards in each color. Leg values run from 2-9. Ill give you an example: the Baltic (yellow) cruise is made up of 3 legs, so ideally you will try to get 3 cards that have one of the following on one each of the cards: Yellow A-9, B-9, C-9. But good luck. More realistic would be Yellow A-7, B-2, C-5. Your card score is the sum of your numbers with a bonus if you get all of the right legs of the cruise. (There needs to be a bonus, because getting all the right legs is a lot harder than youd think.) Now you place that cruise in the column that has the other cruises of the same color. You get Victory Points for how you place against other same-color cruises (and not your cruise score), so instead of trying to get perfect cards, you are just trying to get better than all the others.
Thats where the game gets tricky. You start off with no cards, and get them by drafting them off a board. The board holds 4 cards with a purchase price under each slot (0, 1000, 2000, 3000), and when a card is purchased, all the other cards behind that one get $1000 cheaper. So you may see the perfect card for your cruise, but someone else could buy it, or you may not even have the money yourself to buy it! Or you may not be able to take it. You see, you need to lay down your cards to score for a cruise, but when you lay down, you may only have 2 cards left in your hand. What that means is that you can only hold two cards in your hand that you want to save for other cruises. That is not much of a cushion and requires the players to exercise careful hand management, trying to get good cards for the next cruise without killing their current cruise in the hand. You may see a Blue A-9, and want to grab it, but you might already have a card showing Blue A-5 / Yellow A-4 and another card with Blue F-9, and you currently have been working on a Red cruise. If you take the Blue A-9, youll have to use the Blue A-5 / Yellow A-4 in your Red cruise, which will use up one of the legs of the Red cruise. Is it worth it?
Players are constantly juggling their hands and reprioritizing different cruises trying to manipulate their scores on the scoreboard, borrowing money by mortgaging some of their cruises, trying to outwait an opponent to make them settle on a score first so you can try and beat it, and even clearing the board to get rid of bad cards and hoping for better ones upon resupplying the ship board. The scoreboard has set scores for each position, so regardless of how much your cruise was worth by card value, it now scores a set number of points depending on how well it matches up against other cruises in the same color.
Sound confusing? Its not when you have the visuals in front of you, and suffice it to say it makes for a very tense but uncomplicated game. In fact, this game has been a hit with my family. It requires careful card management and some one-upmanship, but it is not at all a vicious game, and has a dose of luck to keep it from becoming too tight. Not that youll notice, since this game will keep you on your toes from start to finish. This game plays surprisingly well from 2-6 players, and has only about a 60 minute duration. This game has consistently gone over well with gamers, and should be a hit with families it was with mine. Highly recommended.
Usually when I see a German game that is listed for 2-6 players, I typically conclude that 2-person play is probably not worth the time and effort. Atlantic Star is an exception, though, offering a tense, fast-paced and enjoyable 2-player game. This may be one of the rare German games listed for 2-6 that actually plays better with 2 or 3. The rule translation I used was not formatted too clearly, but once learned, the rules are clear and logical. I knew Atlantic Star was a good game. What I didn't know is that it is a great 2-person game.
A previous reviewer complained mildly about the game parts. The card deck consists of a large number of cards and makes a fairly large stack. The current card stock is very good. A thicker stock would make the large number of cards unwieldy. Other game pieces are thick and colorful. The one thin item is a game aid not directly used in play.
When this game emerged, we played it to death. The first day I was exposed to it, we played it four times, and that's rare with my game group, as we choose to play many games, rather than one game many times.
As can be read in the other reviews, the mechanics are streamlined, as seems to be the case with every db Spiele game. And like their other games, there are never enough resources to do everything you'd like to do and you will find yourself selling your soul for just one more dollar.
I am familiar only with the original version of the game (Premiere), but Showmanager is a faithful re-issue, you cannot go wrong. Surely a must-have in your collection.

Four possible voyages require from three to six ships, and it's your job to charter them. Four ship cards, costing 0, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 marks, are drawn and placed on the charter agency board. On your turn, purchase a ship or complete a voyage. When you buy a ship, charter costs for the other ships decrease by 1,000 marks if possible, and a new ship is placed in the 3,000-mark space. Ship cards show the value of that ship in particular voyages. After completing a voyage, write the total value of its ships on its associated emblem marker, and place it on the round-trip rank chart. Emblems, each representing a player, are ranked by value for each route. Determine the winner by adding the values associated with the chart positions of your emblems. Bon voyage!

In all fairness, this would be a lot easier with some refactoring.
Rather than using prefixes, use schemas instead. That is, instead
CREATE PROCEDURE AP_get_order_sp ...
CREATE PROCEDURE AP.get_order_sp ..
Once you have set this up, the permission task is trivial, since you
can grant permissions on schema level:
GRANT EXECUTE ON SCHEMA::AP TO role1
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA::AP TO role2
The permissions then apply to all objects of the applicable type in
the schema, including future objects.
If you still want to pursue your original idea, here is an example of
how to do it. You probably want to repackage it a bit to fit your needs.
DECLARE @proc nvarchar(1024),
@sql nvarchar(MAX)
DECLARE cur STATIC LOCAL FOR
SELECT quotename(s.name) + '.' quotename(o.name)
FROM sys.objects o
JOIN sys.schemas s ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE o.name like 'AP%'
AND o.type = 'P'
OPEN cur
FETCH cur INTO @proc
IF @@fetch_status <> 0
SELECT @sql= 'GRANT EXECUTE ON ' + @proc TO role1
EXEC (@sql)
DEALLOCATE cur

Definition of alternant in English:
An alternative form of a word or other linguistic unit; a variant.
Example sentences
- The most common alternant is EAT, though it is not obligatory - indeed, the oldest example I have found so far, from 1882, uses DRINK SLEEP THINK, with no EAT.
- Hence, the voiced alternants induced by Verner's Law may be expected in both subjunctive pret. singular and plural.
- All observed asymmetries between the two alternants are shown to fall out naturally from this and related structural distinctions.
Alternating; changing from one to the other.
Example sentences
- The ones with even numbers of atoms are even alternant, with odd numbers, they are odd alternant.
- A conjugated system of electrons is termed alternant if its atoms can be divided into two sets so that no atom of one set is directly linked to any other atom of the same set.
- A simple rule is that all aromatic and conjugated hydrocarbons consisting of even membered rings and any kind of chain are alternant hydrocarbons.

Hal Ashby, USA 1979, 130 mins
The film that was to make the late Peter Sellars' career - he made the bulk of the Pink Panther films to scrape together the money to finance the film of Jerzi Kosinski's novel (then script) of the same name.
Sellars' penultimate role was, by his own admission, his hardest - mainly because of the lack of dialogue for the simpleton gardener Chance who he plays in the film.
The story is a fable of the wisdom of the innocent and perhaps the vacuousness of society's commentators and those who read far too much into others' actions. The film charts Chance's rise after losing his livelihood, following the death of his employer and the way he almost falls into success.
Chance is a television addict and idiot who manages to flatter those around him by saying nothing and letting them talk and project their opinions unto him - unknowingly letting them believe what they want to believe.
The films makes jibes at the inability of blacks to rise in US society as highlighted by Louise (Ruth Attaway) and shows Chance's comic meeting with a coloured street gang and features a most unlikely disco sound-track.
The action is understated and lets the audience draw its own conclusions (perhaps the best type of film) with towering performances from Shirley MacLaine (as sexually frustrated and lonely housewife Eve), Melvyn Douglas (of Ninotchka fame, who won Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as Benjamin Rand) and Jack Warden (as the bumbling and neurotic President Bobby).
One for the sharp eyed - does Chance walk on ice at the end or is it something altogether more biblical? Make up your own minds and enjoy one of the sharpest but most understated comedies written.

It's not a crafts show, flea market, antiques or artist's show, but the first-ever Marietta Marketplace will include some elements of each, with more than 16 vendors gathering on the front lawn of Armory Square Saturday.
Event coordinator Laura Pytlik of Lowell said the marketplace is what's known as a "pop-up flea" event, although it's nothing like your run-of-the-mill flea market.
"These pop-up fleas are one-day only events that are taking place in cities across the country," she said. "And most cities have them more than once during the warmer season of the year."

Illustrator Leigh Cox works on a pen-and-ink wildlife drawing in her home studio in Muskingum Township Monday. Cox will be among 16 artists and other vendors participating in Saturday's Marietta Marketplace pop-up flea market event on the front lawn of Armory Square.
Pytlik said the market includes booths of art, quality handcrafts, vintage goods and food.
"Basically the marketplace is a unique event showcasing small businesses that may not be located in a brick-and-mortar store, although some do have permanent business locations," she said. "This gives them a chance to connect with the community. And there are a lot of really creative, talented people who have chosen to live in this area."
Pytlik said many vendors will come from the Marietta and Parkersburg area, but there will also be participants from Athens and Pittsburgh.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Marietta Marketplace.
When: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
Where: Armory Square, 241 Front St., Marietta.
For information: mariettamarketplace.com
One of the vendors, illustrator Leigh Cox, recently moved to Muskingum Township where she does watercolor and pen-and-ink works in her small home studio.
"I lived in Chicago for about nine years where I worked in graphic design," she said. "But I also do a lot of outdoor art, mostly wildlife. I worked for Fur, Fish and Game Magazine for about 10 years."
Cox said she's attended pop-up fleas in Chicago and other large cities, but Saturday's Marietta Marketplace will be the first in which she's participated.
"I'm pretty excited about it," she said. "And I think it will be really neat to speak face-to-face with people and to meet other artists from the local area."
A variety of items will be available at the market, but they will not include franchised products like those sold at home parties for large national companies, Pytlik said.
"We've tried to provide a blend of vendors that sell artistic, hand crafted or re-purposed items," she said. "And we'll have some artisans from outside the area who often have their own followings which will hopefully bring more people into Marietta."
Bobby Rosenstock and his wife, Sara, operate justAjar Design Press in Marietta.
"We use an 1880's letter press and a 1960's press," Bobby said. "The 1880's press is operated by a foot pedal and works with moveable type."
He carves images into wooden blocks which are used to print a range of materials.
"We do a lot of posters for musicians and events," Bobby said. "We did one for Willie Nelson's New Year's show in Texas. But we also print posters for local events like Stuart's Opera House."
The Rosenstocks have participated in pop-up flea events elsewhere, in Pittsburgh, Columbus and New York City.
"But this will be our first in Marietta," he said. "And I think it will be a great event."
Jean G. Farmer, executive director of Marietta Main Street, described the marketplace as a unique, very upscale flea market that's a mixture of old and new, with fine antiques and re-purposed items as well as products crafted by local and some out-of-town artisans.
"It's really their event, but Marietta Marketplace is partnering with us as this promotes downtown Marietta," she said. "And this is a good event to be located at Armory Square. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised."
Pytlik said the marketplace is not competing with area businesses, but it is an effort to highlight Marietta.
"We're just trying to bring an event that will showcase what a great town Marietta is and to draw some people from outside the area here," she said.
The idea for the Marietta Marketplace was generated several months ago by Laura and her daughter, Sarah Pytlik.
"My daughter lived in Cincinnati while in college and she saw the 'City Flea,' which is a pop-up flea in that area," Laura said, adding that they thought a similar event would be well-received in Marietta.
She said if Saturday's event goes well, another Marietta Marketplace could be scheduled in the fall of this year.

About a dozen people have become ill with suspected food poisoning in recent weeks after gathering mussels and other shellfish from the shoreline in parts of the west and southwest coast.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) warned locals and holidaymakers visiting these areas of dangers of gathering and consuming wild shellfish growing on the seashore.
It said there had been over 10 reports of illness in Galway, Mayo and Sligo in the past number of weeks. It suspects the reports are linked to harmful algal blooms occurring naturally along these parts of the coast.

Flooded and cracked roads, overflowing rivers and burst pipes had wreaked havoc across Tipperary last week, with householders left stranded or having to take long detours to work to avoid potholes opened up by the unseasonal poor weather.
Heavy rain and thunder and lightning over last weekend caused flash flooding in rural areas, and waterlogged many county roads and boithríns. The M8 Motorway near Cashel was closed for a time to one lane of traffic early August 13 due to flooding.

The "entrepreneurial spirit" of its people and their "get on with it" attitude has helped gift Dungannon with the impressive accolade of being the top place in the U.K. to do business.
These were the words of Dungannon Enterprise Centre Chief Executive Brian McCauley after hearing that the town had outdone all other regions in the U.K. in terms of success in doing business.
According to analysis of Companies House business data stretching over more than two decades, Dungannon has come out on top for having seen more businesses created rather than closed down in the last 24 years.

Thousands thronged the streets of Mullingar and Cusack Park last Monday evening to welcome home Westmeath two Olympians, John Joe Nevin and Joseph Murphy.
Star quality oozed from the open-top Dublin sightseeing bus, which didn't look out of place in a more modest urban setting like Mullingar. The arrival was reminiscent of that of Jack and the lads in Dublin after Italia '90, only with Mullingar Town Band leading the way.
Down they came off the bus, and in the ensuing media scrum, John Joe's silver medal (which, he told the crowd, he has kept under his pillow since Saturday night) underlined the glamour of the occasion. Niall Horan's arrival helped, of course.

As far as titles go they don't come any bigger than "world champions" and that's exactly what the New Ross & District Pipe Band can now proudly claim to be.
The band emerged victorious at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow Green; in addition to securing the Intermediate world title, they also secured the overall title in the core drumming section.
The band's best result in the world championships prior was sixth overall and that was recorded 16 years ago.

Prof. Vladimir Bulovic
Spring 2003
The course examines optical and electronic processes in organic molecules and polymers that govern the behavior of practical organic optoelectronic devices. Electronic structure of a single organic molecule is used as a guide to the electronic behavior of organic aggregate structures. Emphasis is placed on the use of organic thin films in active organic devices including organic LEDs, solar cells, photodetectors, transistors, chemical sensors, memory cells, electrochromic devices, as well as xerography and organic non-linear optics. How to reach the ultimate miniaturization limit of molecular electronics and related nanoscale patterning techniques of organic materials will also be discussed. The class encompasses three laboratory sessions during which the students will practice the use of select vacuum and non-vacuum organic deposition techniques by making their own active organic devices.

There's an old adage in the airline industry: How do you make $1 million? You start with $1 billion.
Airlines are fond of blaming their poor returns on a variety of external shocks: rising fuel prices, global pandemics, and war. Equally often, though, airlines suffer from self-inflicted wounds.
That's again the case among some of Europe's biggest carriers. Air France-KLM, the region's largest carrier, and Deutsche Lufthansa added capacity just as business started looking up, even as growth remained modest. The results in short order: profit warnings.
Air France-KLM Tuesday said it expected full-year earnings to come in almost 12% below estimates. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization are now expected to be between €2.2 billion ($2.99 billion) and €2.3 billion, short of the target of about €2.5 billion.
The airline blamed overcapacity on Asian and North American routes, in addition to longer-running problems in the Venezuelan market and with its cargo operations. On routes to the Americas, the load factor–a measure of seats sold on a flight–slipped by one percentage point to 89.8% in June from 90.8% a year before. The airline boosted capacity 5.3% on that market.
About half of the €250 million cut in Air France-KLM's profit outlook is linked to weakness on north Atlantic traffic, said RBC Capital analyst Damian Brewer.
Lufthansa last month cut its profit outlook this year by 33% to about €1 billion and next year's to €2 billion. Having expanded, Lufthansa said it will reign in capacity growth in the winter.
Chief executives of both airlines also are looking for further restructuring measures, having already cut jobs and sought productivity gains. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr is due to unveil additional steps on Wednesday. His counterpart at Air France-KLM, Alexandre de Juniac, signaled last month that further efforts to improve the business would be unveiled soon.
To add insult to injury, Abu Dhabi-owned Etihad Airways PJSC Tuesday said sales in the first half grew 28% to $3.2 billion, aided by a 31% boost in revenue from its codesharing and equity partners, many of which are in Europe.

Former junior lightweight contender Eloy Perez told RingTV.com that he is receiving counseling for his substance abuse issues stemming from his positive post-fight drug test after his HBO-televised fourth-round knockout loss to WBO beltholder Adrien Broner in February.
"I have just been on the down low, focusing on Eloy Perez. I'm focusing on myself. I'm just trying to figure things out. I'm disappointed with myself," said Perez (23-1-2, 7 knockouts), who was subsequently suspended indefinitely pending a hearing by the Missouri Department of Professional Registration.
"The hardest part is to even show my face. I don't leave the house. I don't leave my home because I'm embarrased. I don't want to just come out and say 'I'm sorry,' because anybody can do that. Now, I'm receiving counseling. I want to get better and get straight on it. I want to take a look at what I did."
Perez's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, has not formally released Perez, according to Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer.
"I just want to say that I'm really sorry and I am embarrased for what I did, but I'm not perfect. Everybody makes mistakes," said Perez. "I have my own demons, and I'm trying to confront those demons, and that's what I'm in the process of doing."

The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan

moreFrom the author of The Last Magazine, a shocking behind-the-scenes portrait of our military commanders, their high-stake maneuvers, and the politcal firestorm that shook the United States.
In the shadow of the hunt for Bin Laden and the United States' involvement in the Middle East, General Stanley McChrystal, the commanding general of international and U.S. forces in Afghanistan, was living large. His loyal staff liked to call him a "rock star." During a spring 2010 trip, journalist Michael Hastings looked on as McChrystal and his staff let off steam, partying and openly bashing the Obama administration. When Hastings's article appeared in Rolling Stone, it set off a political firestorm: McChrystal was unceremoniously fired.
In The Operators, Hastings picks up where his Rolling Stone coup ended. From patrol missions in the Afghan hinterlands to senior military advisors' late-night bull sessions to hotel bars where spies and expensive hookers participate in nation-building, Hastings presents a shocking behind-the-scenes portrait of what he fears is an unwinnable war. Written in prose that is at once eye-opening and other times uncannily conversational, readers of No Easy Day will take to Hastings' unyielding first-hand account of the Afghan War and its cast of players. less

Never Get Your Revenge In Public
when should you settle a score?
I have to admit; there are advantages to settling a score in public. You have two big obstacles though. The first is execution; your plan has to be perfect. Your second obstacle is making sure that there won't be any retaliation from your opponent. This, again, forces you to find "permanent" solutions to your dilemma. If you can't find a permanent solution, then have a backup plan for what may follow. Keeping a few of your beefy friends around you can't hurt.
You should only settle a score in public when:
You want to set an example by punishing someone because of a mistake they made, because of a betrayal, or because the stupid cafone is lazier than my grandfather's old donkey.
You want to get a message across. I don't only mean icing someone so everyone knows you're a tough guy. There are many reasons why you would want to deliver a message. Remember; you don't necessarily have to hit your intended target to make your point loud and clear. If someone in your crew hasn't been performing up to par lately, fire someone you don't give a damn about, just so your crew knows that you are not afraid to cut them if they don't please you.
Other than that, take care of your problems outside of the public eye. Why draw unnecessary attention to yourself? Even in the above situations, you have to be careful with your timing. Don't do it at your opponent's daughter's wedding or at his child's baptism. You'll gain no sympathy.
how to settle your scoreI enjoy my freedom, so I'm not going to go into detail about how you can take care of your problems, but I can point you in the right direction:
Settle it man to man
Interpret that whichever way you want. You can talk with him or bring along your Louisville slugger; pick your poison.
Do it through a capable middleman
If you can figure out a way for someone to do your dirty work for you, while keeping your fingernails clean and getting your sweet revenge, then you get the best of both worlds.
Call in a favor
If certain people owe you favors, this is the time to call in such favors.
Get him where it hurts
Empty his wallet and destroy his reputation. Never touch another man's family unless his family comes after you.
end of storyTrust me on this. Leave public revenge to the pros. Read The Count of Monte Cristo or something. You'll see that you don't need an audience to redeem yourself.
Watch your backs and keep your noses clean.

The 30-year-old Tiffany Rubin was a happy mother when she brought her son back home with the help of an investigator. Rubin's 7-year-old son Kobe was kidnapped by her ex-husband. The husband flew to South Korea taking the son with him and he did not send mother a single message that the son was with him. It took whole one year for mother to bring her son back to her and there were celebrations in the family when she arrived at Kennedy Airport with her son. The family and close friends gave them a very warm welcome at airport, who started shouting, jumping and waving hands as they saw mother and son together.
Arriving back at home, the mother said that she was so happy and it was all so amazing. She said that she thought she would never see him again. The son also commented on this happy occasion and said that he was happy arriving back at home. Jeffrey Sako kidnapped the son in August 2007 after he lost custody battle of the child. The couple had been split two years ago.
Rubin is a school teacher at Public School 166 in Queens and it was really a very tough job for a lady to take her son back. Her sister-in-law came forward and helped her by introducing her with the American Association for Lost Children which is a non-profit group and finds missing kids. The group hired an investigator Mark Miller for her. The mother and investigator then flew to South Korea.
The investigator gathered information about the kid like where he was studying in Korea and what were his school timings. One day they entered in school and went straight to his class and asked teacher to see Kobe for a while. The mother then chat him and after he recognized her she took him with her and got out of the building. They went straight to American Embassy and came back home.

The former England international has had a spectacular fall from grace at his parent club Manchester City. The left-back was a regular for his first two seasons with the Skyblues after his transfer from Chelsea for £10million in January 2009, but has since made just three appearances in two seasons.
Bridge, who is reportedly still being paid 90k-per-week, has spent short periods on loan at West Ham and Sunderland, before moving to Brighton in the summer for a season-long loan.
At Brighton, the Southampton-born defender has been ever-present, making 14 league appearances and netting twice, despite not having recorded a league goal since his first season at Stamford Bridge in 2003.
With the exiled left-back's contract set to expire at the end of the current season, Brighton head coach Gus Poyet has told reporters he would love to sign Bridge on a long-term deal, but admits there are difficulties in starting contract negotiations too early.
"From the club point of view, it's very easy. From Wayne's it's very difficult," said Poyet.
"We are trying to be realistic and wait. At the right time we will talk for sure because you can see he is different class.
"When the right time comes, slowly, we will probably get close to [whether Wayne staying is] a possibility or not.
"I think it's a bit too early, especially for him.
"If I was him, it's not a problem to ask the question or start talking.
"But I don't want to put Wayne in a difficult situation and him say 'Not now' and maybe people will think he won't be here," he added.

Officials of the San Gabriel Teachers Association are relieved. In a different way, so is Ava Shaw. Shaw, 52, a resident of Pasadena, California, had taught special education at Jefferson Middle School in nearby San Gabriel for several years. She also headed the SGTA for four years. After she left to take a job at a private school, her past caught up with her. She was arrested and eventually pleaded no contest this past February to thefts from her union totaling around $85,000. On May 28, Shaw was sentenced in Alhambra (Los Angeles County) Superior Court to three years probation, and ordered to complete 120 days of community service and repay $64,000 in stolen union funds. A second teacher, Jennifer Boyd (now Boyd-Oliver), also had been charged in the case; she pleaded no contest to theft of a much smaller amount. Like Shaw, she was placed on three years probation, and will have to perform 45 days of community service.
Ava Shaw and Jennifer Boyd were the best of friends. Fellow teachers and teachers' union members in San Gabriel, Calif., they dined, shopped and vacationed together. Unfortunately, those good times often came at the expense of their union – and without the union's consent. Their luck ended nearly two years ago with their arrest for embezzlement of around $85,000 in union funds. On February 15, the pair pleaded no contest to theft in Los Angeles County Court. Shaw awaits sentencing at a restitution hearing, while Boyd was placed on three years probation and ordered to perform 45 days of community service with the California Department of Transportation.
Given the evidence, Ava Shaw and Jennifer Boyd face an uphill climb in beating an embezzlement rap. But the former leaders of the San Gabriel Teachers Association (SGTA) think otherwise. On July 6, the pair pleaded not guilty at the Alhambra Courthouse to charges that they took a combined more than $85,000 from the union. Shaw, 50, a resident of Pasadena, taught special students at a public middle school starting in 1997. At the time of her arrest in March, she was employed at a private Los Angeles school. Investigators believe that Shaw siphoned around $83,000 during her four-year tenure as SGTA president, using union checks and credit cards to pay for personal expenses. Nearly $2,500 of those checks, say prosecutors, were pocketed by Boyd, 34, a public school special-needs teacher arrested in April. Each of the accused posted bail shortly after their arrests. (Pasadena Star-News, 7/7/06).
