Survey Reveals Consumer Confusion About Antibiotic Resistance
A new survey reveals that consumers are confused about the causes of antibiotic resistance and the use of antibiotics in livestock and poultry production.
The survey was conducted online in March 2014 among over 2,100 U.S. adults ages 18 and older by Harris Poll for the American Meat Institute.
When asked, "According to the CDC, which of the following is the greatest contributing factor to human antibiotic resistance," only four in ten Americans (41 percent) correctly answered "health professionals over-prescribing to people."
Eighteen percent thought use of antibiotics in livestock production was the number one contributing factor according to the CDC. Seven percent thought the CDC found antimicrobial hand sanitizers to be the biggest factor; five percent thought the answer was drinking water and 28 percent said they were unsure.

NFU Statement on National Climate Assessment
National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson issued the following statement on the Obama administration's National Climate Assessment:
"The National Climate Assessment only confirms what family farmers and ranchers have been experiencing: global climate change is increasing the occurrence and severity of volatile weather events, which then directly impact agricultural risk, farmers' bottom lines and the entire rural economy.
"The administration's report is clear. Congress must take legislative action to mitigate climate change in order to protect farmers, ranchers, consumers and rural communities.
"I also encourage the administration to heed its own advice by rejecting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's misguided proposal to reduce the biofuel production targets under the Renewable Fuel Standard. The RFS is currently our country's most important strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. The EPA's proposal will not only adversely impact commodity prices and rural employment, but will also move our country further from achieving our climate change mitigation goals."

Power Line Plans Divide Sand Hills
Lynn Ballagh sees sand hills and sky when he looks out across his Nebraska cattle ranch.
In a few years, he also could see a high-voltage power line cutting across his open vista north of Burwell, a prospect that makes the 62-year-old rancher unhappy.
"The Sand Hills is the last area of the state that hasn't been marred by a project such as this," he said.
The Nebraska Public Power District is moving ahead with plans to build the first 345-kilovolt line in the Sand Hills, a vast expanse of grass-covered dunes in central and northern Nebraska that's home to more cattle than people.
The roughly 220-mile line, with an estimated cost of $328 million, would represent the largest transmission project built by NPPD since the late 1970s or early 1980s.
Called the R-Project, the line has been in the works for two years, but NPPD has now proposed preferred and alternate routes. Releasing the route proposals has prompted concern among some landowners and wildlife groups, but also support from those who say the line will unlock the region for wind development.
Among supporters is the Cherry County Wind Energy Association. Without large transmission lines such as the R-Project, wind turbines will never be erected in the region, said George Johnson of Cody, the association's president.

Young Cattle Charge Higher
Cattle prices have been rising rapidly as the U.S. supply remains constrained. The beef industry is still struggling through a multi-year drought in Western states that has destroyed pastureland, making it difficult to grow the national herd.
The relative shortage of animals is causing many ranchers to hold onto animals for the purpose of breeding, which further limits the market-ready cattle in the near term.
Most dramatically, the market for young cattle, known as "feeder cattle" in the industry, has been especially strong, with prices up 40 percent over the last year. Feeder cattle are typically year-old steers or heifers that are ready to be moved into a feedlot, where they are fattened on corn until they roughly double in weight.
The market for May feeder cattle reached an all-time record high again on Friday, trading over $1.84 per pound. Despite the shockingly high prices, there is still strong demand for feeders, since corn prices are still relatively cheap and the market for market-ready, or "fat" cattle, is exceptionally high.
This price differential allows feedlot operators to continue to profitably buy feeder cattle, feed them corn and then sell the fattened animals a few months later.
— Walt and Alex Breitinger, commodity futures brokers with Paragon Investments in Silver Lake, Kan.
Cattle Temperament Linked to Feedlot Performance
The temperament of cattle may have a significant impact in how they perform in the feedlot, according to research by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Kansas State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Cattle classified as temperamental appear to be less susceptible to lung damage and related respiratory diseases and have decreased yield grades, but at the same time may produce lighter weight carcasses with decreased quality grade.
The research team used 2,800 cattle at a commercial feedlot to determine cattle temperament solely by exit velocity upon arrival to identify the impact temperament had on feedlot performance. Infrared sensors were attached to the processing chute and alleyway and used to time how fast cattle exited the processing chute. Once exit velocity was determined, within each pen the fastest 20 percent were classified as temperamental and the remained deemed non-temperamental.

Nebraska Statewide Wheat Yield Estimated at 40 Bushels Per Acre
Statewide wheat yields are expected to be below average this year, based on an assessment made this week during the annual hard red winter wheat tour in southern Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and eastern Colorado.
Royce Schaneman, executive director of the Nebraska Wheat Board, was one of the experts on the tour assessing wheat in south central Nebraska and north central Kansas. Based on the tour and a survey of Nebraska wheat growers this week, he estimated average wheat yield will be 40 bushels per acre this year, down from the long-term average of 45 bushels per acre.
"We've got a wide variety of conditions across the state," he said. In many areas the reports were similar: "Good wheat is really good. The bad wheat is really bad."
Planting date and soil moisture/precipitation appear to be the key factors determining why some of Nebraska's wheat is thriving and some is striving.
The annual tour of the Central Plains is actually much like a web, consisting of five smaller tours traveling to approximately 12 grower fields on each of three days. To get a fuller picture of all of Nebraska's wheat crop, Schaneman said members of the Nebraska Wheat Board and Wheat Growers Association Board were surveyed this week.

Neb. Town's Anti-Immigration Rule Stands, But Furor Persists
Immigrants flocked to the meatpacking plants surrounding Fremont, Neb., during the last decade, nearly tripling the local Latino population and prompting some city leaders to propose an ordinance that would ban renting to those in the country illegally.
The lasting, public outrage that followed shocked many in the mild-mannered Midwestern outpost of 26,000 people about 30 miles northwest of Omaha.
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to review the ordinance adopted in 2010, a triumph for supporters who predicted more cities would follow their lead.
Appeals courts in other states, however, have blocked similar ordinances, and cities may wonder whether it was worth the uproar.
The Supreme Court has often avoided addressing controversial immigration cases, leaving the matter to states and Congress to resolve.
The justices declined to address similar ordinances that lower courts struck down, seemingly setting up a conflict with the current case, said David Weber, a law professor at Creighton University in Omaha.

Secretary of State John Kerry said late on Sunday he and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, discussed suggestions for de-escalating the Ukraine crisis during four hours of talks in Paris.
Kerry told a news conference that the United States made clear it still considered Russian actions in Crimea to be "illegal and illegitimate."
He said he had also raised "strong concerns" about the presence of Russian troops on the Ukraine border, which he said created a climate of fear and intimidation.
Lavrov said that Moscow and Washington had agreed to work with the Ukrainian government and the country's people to overcome the crisis, after meeting U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Russian agencies reported.
"We have agreed to work with the Ukrainian government and people to achieve progress in rights of minorities and linguistic rights," Lavrov told reporters after the talks, Interfax reported.
Lavrov and Kerry met following a phone call between U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian president Vladimir Putin last week, as both sides move to ease tensions in the worst East-West standoff since the Cold War.
He also said Russia and the United States agreed it was necessary to seek "points of tangency" in order to reach a common position on the diplomatic resolution of the crisis.
Meanwhile America's top general in Europe has been sent back early from a trip to Washington in what the Pentagon called a prudent step given Russia's "lack of transparency" about troop movements across the border with Ukraine.
General Philip Breedlove, who is both NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe and the head of the U.S. military's European Command, arrived in Europe Saturday evening. He had been due to testify before Congress this week.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel considered Breedlove's early return "the prudent thing to do, given the lack of transparency and intent from Russian leadership about their military movements across the border," a Pentagon spokesman said. Washington says there are 40,000 Russian troops on Ukraine's borders.
Lavrov said Western powers had put unofficial restrictions in place, urging their diplomats in Moscow to boycott meetings attended by Russian officials and lawmakers on the sanctions list.
He said Russian diplomats in EU capitals had also been refused meetings with officials from EU foreign ministries.
Crimeans voted to secede from Ukraine and join Russia in a March 16 referendum dismissed as a sham by Western governments that say it violated Ukraine's constitution and was held only after Russian forces seized control of the region.
The West has threatened tougher sanctions against Russia's stuttering economy if Moscow invades eastern Ukraine.
The West has refused to recognize Crimea's absorption into Russia although U.S. officials acknowledge that the takeover of is not likely to be resolved soon. Instead, talks have homed in on warnings to Moscow not to go further into Ukraine.
U.S. officials are deeply worried about the massing of what they estimate are up to 40,000 Russian troops on Ukraine's border, which is stoking concerns in Washington and elsewhere that Russia is preparing a wider incursion into Ukraine.
While Moscow has said the buildup is part of normal Russian exercises only, Obama has described it as out of the ordinary that could be a precursor to other actions.
Germany is considering offering military support to some eastern European members of the NATO defense alliance in response to Russia's seizure of Crimea, news magazine Der Spiegel reported at the weekend.
The meeting in Paris comes days before a gathering of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels on Tuesday and Wednesday that is likely to focus on Ukraine and Russia's actions.
Lavrov, speaking on Russian television on Saturday, said Moscow had "no intention" of invading eastern Ukraine and reinforced a message from Putin that Moscow would settle - at least for now - for control over Crimea.
Lavrov, added, however that Russia was ready to protect the rights of Russian speakers, referring to what Moscow sees as threats to the lives of compatriots in eastern Ukraine.

Mob Movie Lessons: The Godfather
Blood is thicker than water
After returning from Sicily, Michael travels to Las Vegas to buy out Moe Greene's ownership in a casino. Greene takes offense and refuses to sell his stake in the operation. A fight breaks out between the two associates and Michael's brother, Fredo, sides with Greene. Michael scolds Fredo for this act of disrespect, and if they weren't brothers, Fredo may have ended up in a casket. Mob movie lesson learned: Always stay true to your family.
Put your family's needs before your own
Michael Corleone sacrificed the life he knew for the good of his family. He was an honorable war veteran with a serious girlfriend and was set for a great future in America. However, when an attempt was made on his father's life, he volunteered to strike back against those responsible in order to settle the score. He ultimately risked his life and was banished from America, but he helped the Corleone Family survive.
Keep your cool
When Sonny sat in for his father as capo of the Corleone Family, he let his emotions get the best of him and his anger led to many mistakes. Instead of sitting face to face with the Tattaglias and trying to broker peace, he fired back with everything he had and ended up paying the ultimate price — his own life. No matter what the situation, think before you act.
stronzo scene
At the conclusion of The Godfather, Michael has his backstabbing brother-in-law, Carlo, whacked. It was a mistake on Sonny's part that this traitor wasn't dealt with earlier. When Sonny's sister Connie first complained to him that Carlo had beat her, Sonny should have capped him then and there. Instead, Sonny embarrassed the bastard but didn't send him to an early grave. In turn, Carlo plotted with the Tattaglias to set Sonny up… and their plan worked. If a guy looks like a rat and smells like a rat, he should be treated like a rat. End of story.
Mr. Mafioso answers your e-mail
Editor's note: This reader's e-mail has not been edited and is presented as is.
Dear Mr. Mafioso,
I've been working for the same company for five years now and they just don't respect me. I put in more hours than my coworkers and my boss treats me like I am a slacker. They haven't even offered me a raise! How do I get them to respect me?
Brian G.
How have you let five years pass without laying down the law and demanding a raise? It sounds like you don't deserve their respect. Confront your superior or accept the alternative.
Stata Buon,
Mr. Mafioso

What to Watch For: Pens vs. Leafs

PENGUINS (2-0-0) vs. MAPLE LEAFS (1-1-0)
January 23, 2013 - 7:00 pm |
CONSOL Energy Center
Penguins Radio 24/7
Fan Guide - Pens vs. Maple Leafs
Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul (Getty Images)
The Toronto Maple Leafs have missed the playoffs the last seven seasons, which feels like an eternity for the storied franchise's passionate fans. The club enters the 2012-13 season ready to make a push for the postseason with a new general manager, Dave Nonis (who replaced Brian Burke), and coach Randy Carlyle handling a youthful squad as Toronto possesses the NHL's second-youngest roster.
The news in Toronto this week was that winger Joffrey signed a five-year contract extension worth $26.25 million, just one day after being named an alternate captain. Lupul earned his deal after a strong 2011-12 campaign playing left wing on Toronto's top line with center Tyler Bozak and right wing Phil Kessel, posting career highs and ranking second on the team in points (67) and assists (42) through 66 games while being named to his first NHL All-Star Game. Lupul also ranked second in goals (25) and power-play goals (8) behind Kessel, who also had a career year for the Maple Leafs. The speedy sniper scored 37 goals and 82 points, his fourth straight season reaching the 30-goal mark.
While Lupul, Bozak and Kessel were together last season to provide Toronto's most potent offensive threat, this year's line combinations seem to be fluid. During Wednesday's morning skate Clarke MacArthur (20 goals, 43 points) skated with Bozak and Kessel. James van Riemsdyk – who spent the last three seasons with Philadelphia – moved up to left wing on the second line with center Mikhail Grabovski (who had 23 goals and 51 points last season) and right wing Nikolai Kulemin. That puts Lupul on the third line with Marlies call-ups Nazem Kadri and Leo Komarov.
Kadri and Komarov are two intriguing players. Kadri, the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft, has dealt with intense scrutiny since joining the Leafs organization. But this year, the 22-year-old made the team out of training camp and has made an early impact with two goals in two games. Komarov has been a physical presence on the wing with nine hits in his last two games.
Captain Dion Phaneuf anchors Toronto's defense, which struggled last season with a goals-against average that ranked second-to-last in the league. They'll have to tighten up in front of their goaltending, which also struggled during the 2011-12 campaign. While Jonas Gustavsson signed with Detroit during the offseason, James Reimer is back – but has yet to make his season debut. That's because Ben Scrivens, who's spent the last two seasons with the Marlies after four years at Cornell, has started Toronto's first two games. Either goalie could get the start on Wednesday..
Ever since Toronto drafted Kadri with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft, Leafs fans have been waiting anxiously for the young prospect to make an impact at the NHL level. After all, he is an exciting player, with soft hands, offensive flair and creativity. After spending majority of the last two seasons developing in the American Hockey League, primarily working on his defensive game, Kadri had a stellar training camp and made the Leafs roster. He's scored in each of his first two games and saw his ice time increase from 9:53 minutes in the season opener vs. Montreal to 15:10 minutes in Toronto's home opener vs. Buffalo.
Letang played like a Norris Trophy contender on Sunday in New York against the Rangers. He's such a gifted skater, and that really showed in the way he flew up and down the ice to make plays on both ends of the rink. He moved the puck well on the power play from the center point, contributing an assist on the man-advantage in addition to his empty-net goal. As Toronto's strength is their forwards, the Penguins will need Letang to be strong defensively and then help start the rush the other way.
Last season the Penguins won both of their home games against the Maple Leafs and they have won three straight at home over Toronto overall.
The Penguins have won their first two games of the season for the second straight year. With a win tonight they will have won three straight games to open a season for the first time since beginning the 1994-95 lockout-shortened campaign by winning their first seven games en route to a 13-game unbeaten stretch (12-0-1) to open the year.
The Penguins are looking to win their second-straight home opener. Last year they defeated the Florida Panthers, 4-2, on Oct. 11.
The Penguins enter Wednesday's game with a 23-12-9 all-time record in home openers.
This marks the fifth time that the Penguins have played the Maple Leafs in their home opener. Pittsburgh is 1-2-1 in the previous four instances.
Including both games this season, Penguins have now scored three or more goals in 13 consecutive regular-season games dating back to last season. The last time Pittsburgh scored fewer than three goals in a game was a 3-2 overtime loss in Philadelphia on March 18, 2012).
The Penguins have averaged 3.54 goals per game against the Maple Leafs in 28 meetings dating back to the 2005-06 season. Pittsburgh has scored three or more regulation goals in nine straight home games against the Leafs, a stretch where the Penguins have posted a 6-3 record and averaged 3.89 goals per game.
As usual, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have led the way. Crosby has at least one goal in four straight home meetings with the Leafs for a total of six goals. For his career, Crosby has points in 10 of 12 home games – amassing nine goals, 12 assists and 21 points in those 12 games.
Overall, Crosby has points in six straight games against the Leafs, tallying a total of 10 points (9G-1A). Malkin is equally as dominant against the Leafs, notching at least one point in nine of his 10 career home games against Toronto – including multiple points in six of those contests. In fact, the most recent meeting between the teams on Mar. 7 of last season was the first time Malkin went scoreless in a home game against the Leafs.
He has 21 points (6G-15A) in 10 home games all-time. Overall, Malkin has notched at least one point in 17 of his 20 meetings against Toronto, with 12 multiple-point games. Malkin's 1.9 career point-per-game average against the Leafs is his highest against any NHL team.

We are happy to announce that Brickworld registration is now open. We have been hard at work performing a complete overhaul on the registration process. In response to your feedback in the survey after last year's event, we have done a couple things to the event. Some items that impact registration:
- There are now 2 types of registration: Full and light. These are described on the web site. But, essentially, full registration is for someone that is contributing to the event and partaking in the workshops and presentations. Light registration is for families that want to show up Friday afternoon, see the event hall without the public, participate in weekend non-public activities, and learn from the AFOLs and TFOLs.
- The full registration will be capped at 650 people to keep things from being unmanagable.
- When you register for the event, you aren't considered registered until you pay (the new process leads you through this)
- The event will start on Wednesday evening with opening ceremonies later in the evening. This will lead to having most of the display space available for MoC setup starting on Thursday morning instead of Thursday evening. Essentially, we are spreading the event out a bit so it is more relaxing for everyone. The survey feedback indicated there was too much happening in too small a space in time.
Don't forget to sign up for your hotel rooms too. Last year the hotel filled up. And, if you are a first time attendee, everyone will tell you that it makes the event a lot more fun to be at the hotel.
You can register at the Brickworld web site. We hope you like the new process and the changes to the event. We are all very excited about Brickworld 2011.
We hope to see you all in Chicago at the Westin North Shore in Wheeling, IL. June 15th through 19th.
Warm Regards, The Brickworld Team

Young Hollywood
It is no surprise that when it comes to Hollywood there are some stars that have fallen off the rails at times, but the question is that with the craziness of Hollywood and access to money and fame, can the young Hollywood handle it?
Lately, there have been reports of young Hollywood stars secretly going to rehab and seeking help for their addictions and their mental health, and what's shocking are the stars that stepped forward who some would never expect to be the ones to enter rehab. Recently, Selena Gomez has stated that last month she spent two weeks in a rehab facility, not for any addiction but for her health and getting over Justin Bieber. Other young stars that had entered rehab facilities were Zac Efron, Demi Lavato, and Amanda Bynes.
Though there are some who are sadden by these revelations and are questioning the cause for this unscrupulous trend all that really matters is that these young stars are seeking the help they need and by checking themselves into these facilities, are continuing to show what role models they are to others that are around their age. Although, the question that everyone is asking, can young Hollywood handle it? Working long hours and giving up a normal life and friends to just be in the spotlight, is Hollywood really worth it? That is the question being asked. However is worth it not going after your dreams and doing something with your life that you don't love to do? That's the question that is not being asked, because realistically that is their job and they can quit whenever they please, it is not like there is someone forcing these young stars to be actors and actress and performers it is there choice by the end of the day.
However, when fame gets too heavy they have a choice to walk away from it, but as long as they are seeking the treatment they need to make themselves healthy and live a better life that is all that matters, right? Though there some people who believe they brought it upon themselves, being an addict or having to go to rehab treatment. No one chooses to be an addict or chooses to live an unhealthy life; it is just the pressure of the lime light and the certain people they surround themselves with. However, young Hollywood can handle the spot light it is just in the matter of whom you surround yourself with and how you display yourself in the public eye. Although these young stars did fall off the rails they were able to get right back by doing the responsible thing and finding help and surrounding themselves with a good support system. So, kudos to those stars that were able to find help, we only hope that others in Hollywood will do the same.

"If the plans were finalized today it would be decades before the route is completed in Missouri."
Two weeks ago feathers were flying when Missouri Department of Transportation District Engineer Scott Meyer appeared to favor a Cape Girardeau proposal to route Interstate 66 across the new Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge in Cape Girardeau instead of a plan to construct a new bridge near Wycliff, Ky. and link the planned interstate with Highway 60 near Charleston. The comments drew an angry response from Sikeston officials who have been part of the discussions for years.
Well maybe Meyer was misunderstood because now it appears he isn't supporting the Cape Girardeau plan afterall.
In a July 18 letter to area officials, Meyer said a decision on the proposed interstate through Missouri is far from finalized. He said MoDot officials were open to all options and possibilities.
Meyer said there are three major considerations that will weigh-in on the final route of the interstate through Missouri. First, he said the Highway 60 route would be much more cost-effective than constructing a new route to interstate standards. From Sikeston's standpoint, that's good news. He also said it would not necessarily be a wise or prudent investment to build a new bridge when several others already exist. That, from Sikeston's standpoint, is not necessarily good news. And finally Meyer said that Illinois has declined to participate in the project. That again, from Sikeston's standpoint, is great news because without Illinois, it makes no sense to try and cross the southern tip of that state to route the road through Cape Girardeau.
Let's understand something here and now about I-66. If the plans were finalized today it would be decades before the route is completed in Missouri. And long before the first shovel of dirt is turned, it will take many more years of study and evaluation. In other words, don't plan a trip on the roadway anytime soon.
But regardless of the timeframe, a route that would potentially bring the interstate through Sikeston remains a wonderful opportunity and possibility. Years down the road it's possible that I-66 will bring thousands upon thousands of potential customers and visitors to our doorsteps daily. In a small way, it may be an important ingredient to the future of this region.
We're encouraged that Meyer took the time to clarify his position and the position of the Department of Transportation. In our hearts we believe that the Highway 60 route is the best for motorists and taxpayers. But we also recognize that Cape wants this roadway in the worst way and the battle is far from over.
In fact, it has yet to begin.

Allen, 46, who succeeded Andy Hessenthaler on Thursday when he signed a two-year deal, has appointed John Schofield as coach and James Russell as strength and conditioning coach.
Scally told the club's official website: "It's no secret that I met Martin a few years ago and interviewed him for a role and was hugely impressed then. I was a bit scared of him to be fair but I'm a bit more experienced now and he doesn't scare me anymore!
"Hessy and I sat down and we wanted someone different who could bring something different to the football club that we hadn't previously had. Every time we got down to shortlists Martin's name was on it and the more I talked to him the more comfortable I got and the more sure I am that we have got the right man.
"I don't want someone to come in here who is a traditionalist or just go along with the way it is. I want someone to come in here who is going to do things a bit different and Martin fits that bill.
"He's a man's man. I've already sat and watched him perform in front of the players and it was lovely - it was nice to see, it was refreshing, it was different and both Hess and I both agree it was a good choice."

TOKYO: Opinion polls published yesterday showed Japan's main opposition party out in front, days after Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda set the country on the path to a general election.
Twenty-five percent said they would vote for the Liberal Democratic Party in the December 16 ballot, while Noda's ruling Democratic Party of Japan was endorsed by 16 percent, a poll published by the Nikkei business daily showed.
Asked who would make the best prime minister, 37 percent said LDP leader Shinzo Abe, down three points from last month's poll, with Noda up seven points at 25 percent.
Noda's surprise move last week to call an election could be behind the bump in his popularity, the paper said.
Noda is Japan's sixth prime minister in as many years and the third since the DPJ came to power in 2009. He had been under pressure for months to call elections amid tensions with China, a slow post-tsunami recovery and a plodding economy.
Another poll by the liberal Asahi Shimbun newspaper said 22 percent of voters would choose the LDP in the proportional representation part of the ballot -- which accounts for 180 of the total 480 seats in the lower house -- against 15 percent for the DPJ.
Voters in all 300 constituencies will cast two ballots in next month's poll: one for a named candidate to be their parliamentary representative and one for a party.
These party votes are tallied across 11 regional blocs, with seats being awarded to each grouping according to the percentage of ballots they receive.
The latest polls reaffirm the view that while the LDP is faring better in voter support under Abe's recycled leadership, it is not likely to garner enough seats to govern alone.
Commentators expect some form of coalition after the vote, with narrowly-focused small parties possibly playing a disproportionately large role.
Two of those parties -- Japan Restoration Party and the Party of the Sun, led by two of Japan's most outspoken politicians -- have enjoyed intense local media coverage and have now united.
Acerbic former Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara and the feisty mayor of Osaka, Toru Hashimoto, agreed on Saturday to combine their parties in a bid to forge a "third force".
The Nikkei poll said 11 percent of voters support Hashimoto's Japan Restoration Party and four percent support Ishihara's Party of the Sun.

All Quiet on the Western Front
by Erich Maria Remarque
All Quiet on the Western Front Chapter 3 Summary
- Paul already appears "old," or at least experienced, as new troops arrive.
- Kropp jokes, "Seen the infants?" (3.1) – meaning the new recruits, who are two years younger than Paul and his pals.
- Kat jokes about the scarcity of decent food and promises an upgrade to current fare.
- Kat has traded string to the cook and offers them beef stew. He warns that this food is for barter purposes only – next time they need to bring him a cigar.
- Paul goes on about Kat's "sixth sense" for knowing things – Kat leads them to a burnt out shelter, but one with nice beds and cozies.
- Kat is just such a down to earth, everyday kind of guy, he seems to know where Mother Nature hides things. In another shelter, almost magically, Kat appears with warm bread to share with the troops.
- They cobble together a nice meal with horse flesh and bread (this is good eats on the Front). Paul notes that Kat's "masterpiece" was producing four boxes of lobsters once – but that Kat's simple, earthy tastes would have preferred beef.
- Later, the troops are drilling "how to salute" on a sunny day because of Tjaden's bad behavior in failing to salute a superior.
- The troops joke about how vital it is to salute on the Front.
- More absurdities mount when Kat rhymes, "Give 'em all the same grub and all the same pay and the war would be over and done in a day" – that is, uneven compensation between soldiers and officers is to blame for many of the war's issues.
- The author contrasts Kat with Kropp "who is a thinker" – Kropp suggests that the War should be fought by the countries' generals. He feels that "the wrong people do the fighting."
- The group disses drilling and structure and the lunacy of the "skills" they were taught in boot camp. Those skills are useless to them now.
- They talk about games like "Change at Löhne" – a weird dressing game where men scramble under beds.
- Suddenly, overhead, a German plane is shot down in an explosion – this is not a game, this is war.
- Himmelstoss's demeanor is discussed – they criticize Himmelstoss and men like him – small men who try to be big based on their fancy uniforms.
- Allegorically they describe how men behave more or less just like dogs. Man will do anything and everything that he can get away with.
- The fairness questions suddenly end when Tjaden excitedly announces that Himmelstoss is on his way – he is coming to the Front (where the rules and regulations are way different than in boot camp, and having an officer's uniform won't save you from bullets).
- Tjaden especially dislikes Himmelstoss because of the way he "disciplines" bed-wetters.
- The men dream of ways to get back at Himmelstoss after the war. Kropp decides to enlist in the post office. Since he's more education than Himmelstoss, Kropp could be his superior.
- Out of nowhere, the men decide to jump Himmelstoss and whip him when he comes home semi-drunk from his nearby regular pub.
- They jump him one night and Tjaden takes particular delight in the whipping.
- Himmelstoss staggers away as the men run, undiscovered.
- Haie says, "Revenge is black-pudding," which, presumably means that revenge is good.

Depositional Turbidity Currents in Diapiric Minibasins on the Continental Slope: Theory, Experiments, and Numerical Simulation*
Horacio Toniolo1 and Gary Parker2
Search and Discovery Article #40111 (2004)
*Adapted from "extended abstract" for presentation at the AAPG Annual Meeting, Salt Lake City, Utah, May 11-14, 2003.
1University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK;
2University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
The northern continental slope of the Gulf of Mexico is riddled with numerous subsiding diapiric minibasins bounded by ridges, many of which are connected by channels created by turbidity currents. The region is economically relevant in that these diapiric minibasins constitute focal points for the deposition of sand. These deposits in turn serve as excellent reservoirs for hydrocarbons. A better understanding of the ''fill and spill'' process by which minibasins fill with sediment as the intervening ridges are dissected by canyons may serve to aid in the location of such reservoirs. A theory is developed to describe sediment deposition in minibasins. Two key and heretofore unrecognized aspects of the ''fill and spill'' process are revealed:
The formation of an internal hydraulic jump as a turbidity current spills into a confined basin.
The detrainment of water across a settling interface forming at the top of the ponded turbidity current downstream of the hydraulic jump.
It is shown that sufficiently strong detrainment can consume the flow, so that there is no outflow of either water or sediment even with continuous inflow. As the basin fills with sediment, however, overspill is eventually realized. The theory is developed into a numerical model, tested against laboratory experiments. The result is a view of intraslope minibasin sedimentation that has a stronger physical basis than the conceptual models proposed to date.
Turbidity currents on the continental slope have created a rich morphodynamic and stratigraphic history associated with erosion and deposition. The continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico offers a unique opportunity to study both of these simultaneously. The most distinctive aspect of deep-water sedimentation in that region is the influence of numerous subsiding salt-withdrawal minibasins that have trapped thick sedimentary sections containing sand bodies with excellent hydrocarbon reservoir properties. These basins are shown in Figure 1 (Pratson and Haxby, 1997). Each basin is bounded by ridges that have been uplifted as a compensatory effect of basin subsidence. Many but not all of these minibasins are interconnected by drainage networks of turbidity current channels (e.g., Liu and Bryant, 2000). The turbidity currents that created these channels have cut through the ridges to create canyons, and deposited sediment in the minibasins themselves, a process that has been documented by Beaubouef and Friedman (2000), for example.
As noted above, minibasins often contain sand bodies that serve as good hydrocarbon reservoirs. In order for a turbidity current to deposit within a minibasin, however, it first must reach the minibasin. The initial stages by which this occurs can be envisioned in terms of a turbidity current that runs down the relatively steep slope of the updip rim of the minibasin, ponds within it, deposits sediment and eventually overflows. This process has been familiarly termed ''fill and spill'' (e.g., Winker, 1996).
One approach to the study of the process of ''fill and spill'' is the analysis of the modern seafloor and the first few hundred meters below that level, using acoustic images of bathymetry and high-resolution seismic surveys and borehole drilling programs (e.g., Damuth et al., 1983; Winker, 1996; Liu and Bryant, 2000; Pirmez et al., 2000, among many others).
Such analyses have served to clarify many aspects of minibasins and the process by which they fill, several of which have been incorporated into the present work. In particular, they have revealed that the ultimate effect of ''fill and spill'' is to create a channel that cuts deeply though successive ridges and fills in successive basins, thereby connecting the basins and creating a channel with a relatively constant slope throughout (Beaubouef and Friedman, 2000).
These studies have, however, led to debate concerning the precise mechanism of ''fill and spill.'' At one end is the possibility that very large, sustained turbidity currents cascade from one basin to the next, simultaneously sculpting the channel during each event. At the other end is the possibility that small, pulse-like events must substantially fill each minibasin before enough overflow occurs to initiate erosion through the ridge at the downdip end and start the process of filling of the next basin.
Theory, experiment, and numerical modeling offer alternate avenues to gain further insight in the process of ''fill and spill.'' These avenues are explored here. They reveal a third, heretofore unrecognized possibility for the mechanism of ''fill and spill:'' namely, that sustained turbidity currents capable of eroding through the ridges may nevertheless be incapable of flowing out of a minibasin until the relief of the minibasin has been substantially reduced. Put in its simplest terms, the analysis presented here indicates that a turbidity current flowing continuously into a minibasin may produce no outflow whatsoever.
This work focuses on the study of minibasin deposition in a highly simplified configuration. A slot-like minibasin is assumed to be much longer than it is wide. The turbidity current flowing into it is continuous and carries a dilute suspension of sediment of uniform size. The minibasin is assumed to have sufficient relief to cause the inflowing turbidity current to undergo a hydraulic jump, so creating a muddy pond containing a dilute suspension of very slowly moving water and sediment. The interface between the muddy pond and the clear water above defines a settling interface. This interface may be above the elevation of the lip at the downstream end of the pond, in which case the turbid water overflows the basin, or below it, in which case there is no overflow. In the latter case all the sediment is lost to bed deposition and all the inflowing water is lost to detrainment across the settling interface. This geometry is illustrated in Figure 2. The above simplifications serve to clearly define the roles of the internal hydraulic jump and water detrainment in mediating the process of minibasin deposition.
As mentioned before, if the relief of the basin is sufficient, a turbidity current emanating down from a ridge is forced to undergo a hydraulic jump from a Froude-supercritical flow regime to a highly Froude-subcritical regime, as shown in Figure 2, where Frd denotes the bulk densimetric Froude number of the flow. The result is a zone of ponded turbid water with a very low flow velocity and passive settling out from the turbidity current.
The top of the turbid water forms a distinct settling interface, across which water is constantly detrained upward from turbid water to clear water. The capacity for detrainment across the settling interface is huge. Consider, for example, a turbidity current composed of 100 Dm material flowing into a mini-basin with a top area of 10 km2. The detrainment discharge is given as the product of the fall velocity of the sediment times the area of the basin, or in this case 748,000 m3/s. For reference, the highest discharge ever measured on the Amazon River is reported to be 338,000 m3/s. The implication is that a turbidity current with a flow discharge smaller than the detrainment discharge should not escape the basin, even with continuous inflow, until the basin is nearly full with sediment.
The model is presented in Toniolo et al. (submitted (a)). It is based on the layer-integrated formulation of Parker et al. (1986) but is modified to capture the effect of water detrainment across the interface between muddy water and clear water above. It solves a set of layer-integrated equations of flow continuity, sediment conservation, and momentum, along with the Exner equation of bed sediment conservation. The equations take the forms:
t denotes time
s denotes a bed-attached stream-wise coordinate
U denotes depth-averaged flow velocity
h denotes the layer thickness of the turbidity current
d denotes a parameter that is zero in the supercritical region (Frd>1)
and 1 in the ponded zone (Frd<<1)
ew denotes an entrainment function given by Parker et al. (1986)
vs denotes sediment fall velocity
C denotes the concentration
R denotes the submerged specific gravity
S denotes bed slope
Cfo denotes the friction coefficient
g denotes gravitational acceleration
lp denotes porosity of the sediment deposit
h denotes the bed elevation from an arbitrary level.
The results of two experiments (Experiments 1 and 3) carried out at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, University of Minnesota are reported here as a partial test of the above theory. The purpose of the experiments was to provide data for the evaluation of the numerical model of depositional turbidity currents in intra-slope minibasins. This experimental test serves as a useful bridge between the theory and its application to field settings. A basin of simplified geometry was used in the experiments. Its length was 4 m, and the maximum relief was 0.46 m. The geometry was defined by an upstream region of a constant slope S b1 = 0.298 (slope angle qb1 = 16.6o), a nearly horizontal central region with slope S b2 = 0.017 (qb2 = 0.97) and a nearly vertical wall at the downstream end (e.g., Toniolo et al. submitted (b)). The experimental configuration differs from those of natural diapiric minibasins in several ways. Firstly, the uniform width of the experimental configuration yields a slot-like 2D configuration. Most natural minibasins have more rounded 3D configurations, although some slot-like minibasins can be found in the field. Secondly, natural minibasins are not delineated by vertical walls at their downslope ends, but instead show a gradual increase in bed elevation toward a ridge.
Glass beads (ballotini) at a volume concentration of 5% were used in both Experiments 1 and 3. The beads were chosen so as to be as nearly uniform in size as possible. The geometric mean size Dg was 46 mm and the geometric standard deviation sg was 1.25.
The flow discharges were 0.33 l/s and 1.9 l/s in Experiments 1 and 3, respectively. The low discharge of Experiment 1 was selected specifically to model a turbidity current that would be completely captured in the minibasin despite continuous inflow. The substantially higher discharge of Experiment 3 was selected to model a turbidity current of sufficient strength to continuously overflow the minibasin. The interface at the downstream end of the basin during Experiments 1 and 3 are shown in Figure 3.
Equations 1 - 4 are in conservative form and as such are intrinsically shock-capturing. In the context of the present work, this means that when implemented numerically, the positions of any hydraulic jumps are automatically captured. The MacCormack scheme is used to solve the governing equations. This explicit scheme is second-order accurate both in space and time. The results of the numerical simulation of both experiments are shown in Figure 4. The agreement between experiment and numerical model is very good.
The physically-based theory of sedimentation in minibasins identifies a heretofore poorly-recognized flow regime; i.e., a ponded turbidity current. The ponding is created by an elevation barrier. It forces a relatively swift, Froude-supercritical turbidity current to pass through a type of shock known as an internal hydraulic jump, which results in a deep, placid, slow-moving turbidity current farther downstream. This ponded current may:
In the case of uniform sediment, this results in:
The loss of both sediment and water from the current due to settling and detrainment can weaken it to the point that no overflow whatever occurs, even with continuous inflow. The theory has been implemented numerically and checked against experiments for a slot-like minibasin and a turbidity current with a single grain size. Several predictions of the theory have been verified, including the nearly uniform thickness of the deposit in the ponded zone and the existence of conditions for which overflow of neither water nor sediment occurs at the downstream lip of the basin.

Austrian f-star nets EUR 15m
Vienna - f-star, an antibody specialist, today announced the closing of aEUR 15 Million financing. The investment was led by SR One, the corporate venture capital arm of GlaxoSmithKline. All of f-star's existing investors, Atlas Venture, Aescap Venture, Novo Ventures, TVM Capital, Merck Serono Ventures and MP Healthcare Venture Management, also participated in the round. As a result of the financing, SR One Partner Dr Deborah Harland and Dr Axel Polack of TVM Capital will join f-star's Supervisory Board.
"f-star has shown that its Modular Antibody Technology platform can generate multiple high affinity biotherapeutics against targets of varying precedence and novelty in both single- and bi-specific formats", Harland said. "We believe the platform has the potential to generate numerous novel differentiated biologics with advanced efficacy, tissue penetration and
targeting capabilities compared to traditional antibodies."
The financing will primarily be used for the further development of existing product candidates through IND enabling studies and thereafter into clinical stage. With its proprietary technology, f-star produces antibody fragments called Fcabs, which have full antibody capabilities but are believed to have a better biological profile because of their small size. Additionally Fcabs may offer IP advantages in many cases by lacking variable regions, which may be claimed by third party antibody patents. This seems to attract pharma companies. In November 2010, f-star clinched an alliance with Germany's Boehringer Ingelheim which could deliver up to one billion euros in the companies' cash vaults.

I understand why people are doing this. It is a fact that cof/TA speed farms are the most effective way of getting money in the game, and there always are people who are hunting for the maximum rewards no matter what they have to do.
Personally I did this cof farming (even though I mainly ran AC with my guild since I have the colossus fang recipe) to fund my 3 legendary weapons and aether but now since I have them, I no longer feel like doing this boring chore. Now, after getting the skins I want, I can play the game just the way I like (in which way I would never earn enough money to buy a legendary weapon). It is a matter of how much you want to achieve something. Some people think that getting a legendary is worth the cof farming and some don't. That is fine by me and since the elitism is about maximizing profits, I understand it, even though I didn't practice it in the groups that I made. Doing cof p1 2-3 mins slower wasn't a problem for me.
I think that there indeed is a problem in the game design. This problem is that there are specific places where you can earn money faster than elsewhere. I think that it would be fair that the dungeons would have approximately the same ratio for money earned in a specific time that was spent. This way you wouldn't have to do the same thing over and over again to earn money as fast as possible. Not all dungeons can be done with 1 mesmer and 4 warriors in berserker gear. It is just unfortunate that the one dungeon where this is possible has the best rewards in the game. Arenanet should boost money gained dungeons like Arah, hotw, coe, se and cm and perhaps nerf the rewards of cof. And of course there should be alternative money earning methods for those who dislike dungeons.

New rule denies UK Visa for human rights abusers
03 May 2012
For concise and recent immigration information watch our news.The UK announced on 30 April that non-European Union citizens accused of serious human rights abuses would not be allowed to enter the UK. The new rule, included in the UK Foreign Office's annual Human Rights Report, states that in cases where there is "independent, reliable and credible evidence that an individual has committed human rights abuses, the individual will not normally be permitted to enter the UK".
Latest news
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said the government was "determined to pursue every opportunity to promote human rights and political and economic freedom around the world".
"Britain welcomes visitors from around the world…but not those who have perpetrated human rights abuses. Foreign nationals from outside the European Economic Area may only come to the UK if they satisfy the requirements of the Immigration Rules. Where there is independent, reliable and credible evidence that an individual has committed human rights abuses, the individual will not normally be permitted to enter the UK," the rule said.

Helping Grieving Military Families: New York Life Foundation Awards a $325,000 Grant to the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors
Company Also Sponsors Programs for Children & Teens at the National Military Suicide Survivor Seminar in Colorado in November 2013
NEW YORK, May 20, 2013—The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), a national organization that supports the families of America's fallen military personnel, announced today a $325,000 grant from the New York Life Foundation. The grant will support TAPS's bereavement services for adults and children at its 19th Annual National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp for Young Survivors to be held in Washington, D.C. over the Memorial Day weekend. More than 2,000 people are expected to attend this four-day gathering being held May 24-27.
"We are deeply grateful to the New York Life Foundation for stepping forward to be a title sponsor again this year for the 19th Annual TAPS National Military Survivor Seminar," said Bonnie Carroll, founder and president of TAPS. "They are truly making a difference in the lives of military families who are grieving the death of a loved one in service to America." The Foundation's funding will also support the child and teen programming at the TAPS National Military Suicide Survivor Seminar & Good Grief Camp being held November 1-3 in Colorado Springs. This program supports families who are grieving the death by suicide of a loved one who served in the military.
"We continue our support of TAPS to bring these critical bereavement services to military families, which provide adults and children immediate and long-term emotional help, hope and healing," said Maria Collins, senior program officer, New York Life Foundation.
Volunteers from New York Life will also be part of each program.
The grant supports the following Memorial Day weekend activities:
- TAPS National Military Survivor Seminar—Nationally known speakers and trained grief professionals will lead workshops with the grieving adults, who will also participate in support groups, exhibits and remembrance rituals.
- TAPS Good Grief Camp for Young Survivors—Approximately 500 children and teens will participate in age-appropriate bereavement activities that help them cope with the loss of a loved one. Each child is matched with a trained military service member or recent veteran who acts as his or her mentor for the weekend. The children benefit from the opportunity to forge relationships with other children who have experienced a loss and re-connect with the "military family" environment.
- Workshops for Professionals—Instruction will be provided to professionals working with military survivors, which include chaplains, casualty and mortuary staff, family support group leaders, commanders, military mental health personnel, medical staff, funeral directors, and therapists.
Carroll noted that the organization was also pleased to receive the New York Life Foundation's support for programs assisting children and teens grieving the death by suicide of a loved one who served in the armed forces. "We are seeing an increase in the number of families coming to TAPS grieving a suicide loss, with at least two to four people per day contacting us for care and support after a death by suicide. These programs to help grieving military families get on their feet again after tragedy are needed and appreciated."

On and Off the Field
Tuesday, October, 29, was the boys' soccer team's last game of the season. Whether the players had home games or away games, they always "dress for success" and were recognizable on campus. On the field, they wore uniforms, and off the field, they dressed in a similar business-traditional theme. The colors were conservative including, navy, khaki, brown, and gray. All the players have a navy blazer, a button-down shirt, and a tie. Their wardrobe also includes items such as, dress pants, a belt, and dress shoes.
Even though they all looked similar, they accessorized their outfits differently. Some guys wore ties with patterns, but others decided on solid ties. The belts and shoes were all different shades and had different belt buckles or laces. Some guys may wear a tie bar (a piece that holds the tie to the shirt). Also, the soccer players changed their looks from one another by either buttoning the blazer or exposing the cuffs.
Dressing for success allows the team to be seen as more than just athletes. It gives the team a sense of unity off the field as they get ready for their games. Their various accessories can be compared to their individual talents, positions, and personalities and their similar look can be compared to their uniform and unity on the field. Fashion, in the sense of soccer, serves more of a purpose than just looking good. They were looking good to play better!

My apple green nightstand usually brims with books. I have this habit of reading five books at once (minimum), but it sorta works well for me. There are seasons and days and times of the day when I want to read cerebral nonfiction, and there are other times when I want a good story.
During the summer in particular, I crave fiction. There's something satisfying about an afternoon in a deck chair with a glass of iced tea and a good book, and a novel fits the bill when it's hot and the kids are romping in the sprinkler. But non-fiction works for me as well—I like to dabble back and forth.
As I furiously pen my next book this year, I'm surprised how much I need to read as I write. It's as though the words leave me, and I need to refill my soul with new words so that I'm not depleted.
Basically, I love books. And here's what I'm reading over the next few months (and what I've also recently finished).
1. Paris in Love
I wasn't sure I'd like this book when I first got it, but I like Paris, I like the illustrated cover, and well, I'd be happy to spend a year in the City of Lights. Paris in Love is about a family's year in Paris, when the parents take a year-long sabbatical from work. The writer, Eloisa James, is actually a Shakespeare professor and romance novelist, and this charming memoir is based on her Facebook status updates from their year.
This is a charming, lighthearted read—I kept it on my nightstand and read several pages every night over the past month.
2. Echoes
Maeve Binchy has been one of my favorite novelists for a while now; I remember reading her books on the bus as I left class and headed home to my college apartment. Solidly Irish, her writing opens my eyes to a culture and a worldview that I don't know very well. (I've been to Dublin twice, but that's the extend of my Irish experience.)
Echoes is another great story of hers, full of fascinating characters. A small coastal town called Castlebay is home to a host of neighbors and family, and well, lots of things happen. I can hardly tell you much without giving things away. It's an intriguing story, and I really enjoyed it—recommended with a cup of tea, hot or iced.
3. Anything: The Prayer that Unlocked My God and My Soul
This book comes recommended to me by a few of my friends, so I imagine it'll be good. Jennie Allen is a fellow Austinite, and Anything is about a prayer she and her husband, Zac, prayed that eventually took them down a road of fascinating abandonment. She says, "Anything is a prayer of surrender that will spark something. A prayer that will move us to stop chasing things that just make us feel happy and start living a life that matters. A life that is… Surrendered. Reckless. Courageous."
4. The Red Tent
I'm a bit late to this party, but enough recommendations from friends on Facebook have me convinced. A decade after its publication, author Anita Diamant has released a tenth anniversary edition of The Red Tent, so I thought it'd be a good time to give this book a whirl. From its description:
"Told in Dinah's voice, Anita Diamant imagines the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood–the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of the mothers–Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah–the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through childhood, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate connection with the past."
I'm anxious to see if this story lives up to all its five-star reviews.
5. 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess
Another Austinite, Jen Hatmaker's name won't leave my Twitter stream and Facebook feed. I've chatted with her briefly via email, and she immediately made it to my People I Want to Meet Soon list. She and her family are church planters in socially unique setting in the city, and she says they've seen their world turned upside down as they've considered what it means to ask God how to live and not just what to do.
7 is the true story of how Jen (along with her husband and her children to varying degrees) took seven months, identified seven areas of excess, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence.
It sounds very akin to how my family lives, so I look forward to reading her words in 7.
6. What Alice Forgot
Finally, this new novel by Liane Moriarty has been pegged as funny, addictive, thought-provoking, heartfelt, and witty. Alice is a twenty-something girl who's newly engaged and full of life—except that she's not. That was 10 years ago; she slipped in a step-aerobics class, hit her head and lost a decade. Now she's a grown-up, bossy mother of three in the middle of a nasty divorce and her beloved sister Elisabeth isn't speaking to her.
I love a good story, and all the recommendations for What Alice Forgot has convinced me to bring this to the poolside chaise this summer. I'll let you know what I think.
Now it's your turn—I'd love to hear what you're reading. Any recommendations? Have you read any of these books I've mentioned?

We helped support Ireland in hosting a successful OSCE ministerial and to begin its EU presidency this month. We worked closely, even more so, with Ireland on security and peace, development and human rights.

Holly Gribbs

|Minor Character: Las Vegas
|Holly Gribbs
|Jane (mother)
|Las Vegas
|Portrayed By
|Chandra West
|First Appearance
Early LifeEdit
Not much is known about Holly's life or where she was born but it is known that her mother, Jane, was a lieutenant in Traffic and had forced her daughter to take the CSI job possibly due to the fact that Jane herself would never get out of Traffic.
Holly graduated with honors with a degree in criminal justice. However, she never even wanted to be a CSI in the first place but did so to please her mother.
Season OneEdit
A rookie CSI fresh out of school, Jim Brass, who then was the night shift supervisor for CSI, openly revealed a strong displeasure for having Holly on the team, not wanting to have to deal with a brand new employee who had never been in the field.
He told Grissom to take Holly to an autopsy, stating that every CSI should have one on their first night. The smell got to her, however, and she fled the room, accidentally locking herself in a cadaver storage freezer. Grissom soon freed her.
Gribbs's next assignment was to investigate a robbery at a convenience store. The owner was annoyed, complaining that she was holding up business, and that "You guys never catch them, anyway." Her patience ran out, and she held Gribbs at gunpoint while stating that she'd defend her store to the hills if she had to.
Luckily, Catherine Willows who had overheard the call arrived in the nick of time and confiscated the store owner's gun before taking Gribbs out for lunch.
During the meal, Gribbs, disheartened from the events of the night so far and realizing things were going badly wrong for her told Catherine that she never wanted to be a CSI, and that she was living her mother's dream, not her own. Willows responded that she should at least see through one murder case, and if she didn't feel excited about solving it then she can quit and do something else.
Gribbs agreed, taking her advice.
Gribbs's very short-lived time as a CSI came to a tragic end when at a crime scene by herself, she was confronted by Jerrod Cooper, the criminal returning to clean up the scene of the crime. She was then shot by Cooper who had used Holly's own gun against her, and sent to the hospital with Brass later saying that there was very little hope of her pulling through.
Unfortunately Holly later died on the operating table, leaving the team, especially Catherine devastated.
When Grissom called in Sara Sidle, an outsider to solve the case of Gribbs's death, Catherine objected, vowing to solve the case by herself as she had been the one to help Holly.
Despite the obvious tension between them, Sidle and Willows worked together for the duration of the case, soon finding Gribbs's final act to help the CSI's; she managed to scratch Cooper, getting his DNA under her nails which Catherine later found. This was the evidence needed to put Cooper behind bars.
As such, Sara later became a permanent member of the night-shift, replacing Gribbs.
Although short-lived, Gribbs's legacy continues to live on to this day.
After DeathEdit
She was mentioned in the season one episode, Strip Strangler. She was also mentioned in the season three episode, A Little Murder and in the season eight episode, For Gedda. Her conversation with Catherine Willows in the pilot episode was referenced to in the season twelve episode, Willows in the Wind, when Catherine gives the same advice to Morgan Brody even though Holly wasn't directly mentioned by name.

OS: Debian "Testing" (Jessie) 64-bit
QCad version: 188.8.131.52; latest build from Git pull 6/6/14
Here's what's happening:
I want to move an entity or draw a line, and I want the start or destination to be something relative to another point, and it needs to be exact, so I will be typing in the coordinates rather than mousing. In ver 3.4, I would select my tool (whether modification or drawing) select the "Set Relative Zero" icon at the bottom of the tool panel, set relative zero to wherever I want, and then type in my destination coordinates with "@" to modify or draw.
In ver. 3.6, after clicking the "Set Relative Zero" icon, it asks for "Reference Point", and I click where I want to set the Relative Zero, but it doesn't set. Neither does typing in the coordinates for Relative Zero. The Relative Zero just stays where it is. Relative Zero does move when I draw a new line or move something, which is normal. I've tried re-compiling and the behavior is still there. Running from the command line, I can't see any debug output from setting relative zero. Any ideas? I've been using QCad since 2004 and really miss this feature.
Thank you,

Lake Gibson 52, Auburndale 9: Congdon's Passing Sends Braves To Easy Rout of Bloodhounds
Published: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 11:43 p.m.

AUBURNDALE | Trey Congdon made them pay at the pump Friday.
Photo Galleries
Lake Gibson quarterback threw five touchdown passes — all in the first half — to lead the Braves to a 52-9 win over Auburndale in front of roughly 600 fans at Bruce Canova Stadium.
The senior signal-caller played just one half yet finished the game 8-of-16 for 234 yards with one interception.
"(Congdon) was incredible for a half, absolutely incredible,"Lake Gibson head coach Keith DeMyer said. "He was hot tonight, and he was throwing to the spots."
The nondistrict clash gave the Braves (3-2) a chance to fine-tune their passing game, while Congdon utilized a barrage of pump-fakes to break down Auburndale's one-on-one coverages and hook up with three different receivers for touchdown passes.
"It was just given to us," Congdon said. "We hit them underneath a few times, and that opened up the deep ball."
The senior hit Sammie Jackson with three touchdown passes, Devan Perkins for one score and then Jeremy Crissey on an 80-yard scoring dagger to break open the game with a 24-6 first quarter lead.
"I don't understand why they thought they could man-up on us and give us that opportunity," DeMyer said.
Braves running back Thomas Boles added to the onslaught scoring on runs of 20 and 7 yards.
Auburndale scored on a 1-yard touchdown run by Artavis Pierce — set up by an 89-yard kick off return by Wilbur Cooper — in the first quarter and picked up a 39-yard field goal by Deedrick Young in the second quarter to cap its scoring.
Lake Gibson was coming off an emotional Class 6A, District 11 loss to Winter Haven last week and will now travel to Lake Region in a critical district matchup next week.
"By no means are we better, we are still a step behind where I thought we would be," DeMyer said. "We have to be ready for Lake Region. We anticipate a good game from them."
Auburndale (1-5, 1-0) hosts Mulberry for homecoming next week in a huge Class 5A, District 10 showdown. The Bloodhounds are a half game back of Lake Wales in the district standings.

Developer Sues Lakeland Mayor Gow Fields Over Loan
Lakeland mayor and his business borrowed $20,000, lawsuit says.
Published: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
LAKELAND | A local developer has sued Lakeland Mayor Gow Fields and his insurance business, Fields & Company Inc., over nonpayment of a $20,000 loan.
Fields borrowed the money from Howe Whitman, a Lakeland developer who has offices in Atlanta, in March 2012, according to a lawsuit filed in the Tenth Judicial Circuit in Bartow.
Both Whitman and his lawyer, Greg Sanoba of Lakeland, declined comment.
The lawsuit, filed March 18 in Circuit Court, describes a promissory note Fields signed to pay back Whitman's company, HDW-FL. The promissory note signed by Fields said he would owe 6 percent interest on the principal balance and that the entire balance was due Sept. 30, 2012.
Whitman filed a UCC1 financing statement May 16 with the Florida Secured Transactions Registry, which listed Fields' assets as collateral, according to the lawsuit.
Details of the repayment were modified in January, according to documents.
The modified loan signed by Fields and Whitman on Jan. 23 described that Fields would make two payments of $100 by February, $10,000 by March 12 and the remaining payment of $10,000 plus interest and fees by April 16.
The lawsuit says Fields and Fields & Company Inc.never made good on the loan. Whitman is entitled to furniture, computers, automobiles, bank accounts, or other assets owned by Fields & Company, according to the lawsuit, which is in its early stages.
Lawyers for Whitman filed a request March 20 for Fields to provide a variety of records.
The lawsuit also said Whitman is entitled to recover his attorney's fees from Fields.
Fields declined to comment Tuesday and referred comments to his lawyer, Cassandra Denmark of Tampa, who didn't return a phone message.
Fields sells insurance from his office on North Florida Avenue.
He is running against Commissioner Howard Wiggs for mayor and has raised $550 compared with Wiggs' $48,374. The election is Nov. 5.
Fields has said he has not actively sought donations because his mother has been fighting pancreatic cancer.
When asked by The Ledger this month whether he is still interested in running for re-election, Fields said, "I am interested in my family and my business right now.
"I am concerned with my family, and that is my first concern."
Fields is paid $23,518 annually as mayor.
Whitman is a well-known developer who in 2007 sold the Town Center in Lakeland for $32 million.
The 304,000-square-foot shopping center, known by its former name "Searstown" to longtime Lakeland residents, was purchased by Whitman in 1996 for $3.2 million.
Whitman gave $500 to Fields' campaign in 2009 when he ran against former city commissioner Jim Verplanck.
