To present Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center as a quality institution,
publications and written material also must be of the highest quality. Adherence to
a consistent editorial style is essential to maintaining the university's stature.
Printed materials speak with one voice, present messages clearly, and communicate
our message and image precisely. Editors should exercise great care to proofread copy
and to check spelling.
Download a copy of the guidelines here.
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center uses "The Associated Press Stylebook"
as its basic style guide. In certain instances, however, journalistic style is not
appropriate to distinguish between "media style," which follows the Associated Press,
and "publications style," which follows a more formal academic style.
In cases where the editor feels the need for other choices, an alternate may be used.
If an alternative style is used, the chosen option should be followed consistently
throughout the document or publication.
The following paragraph presents positioning for TTUHSC.
"The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center provides creative solutions to the
health care challenges of today and tomorrow. It educates a diverse group of health
care professionals for successful careers; it investigates and treats complex health
issues, especially those affecting historically underserved populations; and it advances
knowledge through research and other innovations that touch the health of people in
Texas and beyond."
This positioning can be supported in marketing and communications to different audiences
by making use of the details in the proof point tables.

The Texas Tech University System comprises Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University
Health Sciences Center and Angelo State University. Publications should be careful
to use the legal names of these components:
When referring to the comprehensive organization that includes Texas Tech University,
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Angelo State University, and all components
of the system, use "Texas Tech University System" on first and subsequent references.
When referring to institutions individually, writers should use the full legal name
on first reference.
Because three universities make up the Texas Tech University System, it is preferable
to avoid using the word "university" alone whenever possible.
For Texas Tech University: After the first reference in print, "Texas Tech" may be used to refer to the academic
campus. If the word "university" is used, it must be clear that it refers only to
the academic campus. If "university" is used in this manner, use lower case letters.
"Texas Tech" is acceptable on all references for Web content.
For Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center: Never use "Texas Tech" on second reference to mean the Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center. Never use "Texas Tech Health Sciences Center" on any reference. The
proper name, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, must be used on first reference.
On second reference, TTUHSC may be used. TTUHSC is acceptable on all references for
Web content.
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center has campuses in Amarillo, Dallas/Fort
Worth, El Paso, the Permian Basin and Lubbock. Use the word "at" and the location
when referring to the campus in general, for example, "Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center at Amarillo."
For both universities: Avoid all uses of "Tech" alone as this implies a technical institution.
Abbreviations such as TTU or TTUHSC are permissible. Do not abbreviate the names of
colleges or schools.
Holders of honorary degrees do not receive the title.
Use initials after a person's full name to designate the appropriate degree, such
as M.D., Ph.D., R.N., M.S.N., Ed.D., etc. Certification titles like FAAN should not
use periods in abbreviations. The person's title should follow on the first reference.
Using the last name alone is preferable after the first reference. For example:
Certifications following a name should be avoided, particularly if they are vague
to the general public. "While Jim Smith, R.N.," is acceptable for instance, "Jane
Sims, FNC," is not because the certification is not generally recognized outside the
health care profession. However, if the certification is a pertinent part of the information,
then include it by writing out the certification. For example, instead of writing
Alexia Green, R.N., Ph.D., FAAN, write Alexia Green, R.N., Ph.D., also is a fellow
in the American Academy of Nursing.
No more than two titles should be used after a name.
A formal title is capitalized when it precedes a name, but is not capitalized when
it follows a name. For example:
"Professor" may be used as a formal title when a person holds that distinction. When
the title precedes a proper name, it is capitalized and never abbreviated. When "professor"
follows a proper name, it is preceded by appropriate rank, i.e., "assistant" or "associate"
and is not capitalized.
"Mr., "Mrs.," "Miss" and "Ms." are social or courtesy titles and should be avoided.
On second reference, refer to people, men and women, by their last name only. In cases
of sensitive development publications, if a courtesy title is used, always use the
individual's preference. Avoiding social titles can help lessen chances for sexism
in writing.
"Faculty" and "staff" are collective nouns that may be used in the singular or in
the plural. Whether the writer chooses singular or plural, antecedents should agree.
In publications, writers and editors should avoid abbreviations wherever possible.
Do not follow a school, college, department, center, institute or organization's full
name with an abbreviation or acronym in parentheses.
In news releases, catalogs and bulletins, abbreviations may be used as long as the
general public understands the abbreviations.
U.S. is acceptable on all references for United States.
In press releases, the following style should be used when state names follow a city
Spell out the names of months in text material when they stand alone. The following
abbreviations are used when providing a date, as in Jan. 13.
"Co.," "Cos.," "Corp." or "Inc." for businesses that use "Company," "Companies," "Corporation"
or "Incorporated" after their names.
Spell out the word if it falls within a business name, for example, "Aluminum Company
of America."
For times, use "a.m." and "p.m." with the hour.
Use "noon" instead of "12 p.m."
Use "midnight" instead of "12 a.m."
Do not use "12 noon" or "12 midnight" as these terms are redundant.
Should follow "time, date, place" format.
Use lowercase for professional titles unless they immediately precede a name. When
a person is identified strictly by title on second or subsequent references, the title
is not capitalized. For example:
Capitalize academic degrees as follows:
Generic terms for degrees are not capitalized, for example: "doctoral degree" or "doctorate,"
"master's degree," "bachelor's degree." If you are using the formal name of a degree,
it is capitalized, for example: he earned a Master of Science degree from Texas Tech
Avoid capitalizing an academic subject when it is used as a general field of study.
Capitalize academic subjects when they are part of the official title of a university
entity, when they are the name of a language, and when they are the official title
of a course or a short title that includes the course number. For example:
Capitalize "institute," "center," "program," "division" or "office" when it is part
of the formal name, but not when used alone or informally. For example:
It is appropriate to refer to a center, institute, program, division or office by
the appropriate designation, in lowercase letters, on subsequent references. For example:
Avoid capitalizing such words as "freshman," "senior" or "graduate" when the words
refer to a stage of study or the classification of a student rather than to the group.
For example:
Avoid capitalizing the words "city," "government," "federal" or "state." For example:
Capitalize the formal names of federal or state agencies. For example:
Use lowercase for seasons. For example:
Capitalize "west" and other compass points when referring to a region. For example:
Use lowercase for compass points when indicating a direction. For example:
Spell out numbers one through nine and first through ninth.
Use figures for numbers 10 and greater. Also use figures to refer to a numerical ranking,
a unit of scientific measurement, a percentage or a unit of money. For example:
Always spell out a number at the beginning of a sentence. A better approach is to
rewrite the sentence to avoid using a number at the beginning. For example:
Use numerals for percentages and spell out percent. For example:
Spell out fractions in text material. Hyphenate fractions when they are used as adjectives
or adverbs. For example:
Use a comma in numerals of 1,000 and above except for temperatures, years, street
addresses, broadcast frequencies, room numbers, serial numbers and telephone numbers.
For example:
A comma is not required before "and" or "or" in a series of three or more items unless
it improves clarity. For example:
Use a comma to separate two or more adjectives equal in rank preceding a noun. For
Use commas in full dates, but not between month and year or season and year. A comma
also should follow the year when used with a month and day in the middle of a sentence.
For example:
Associated Press style requires that a comma not be used to separate a name and "Jr."
or "Sr." or a name and a numeral. For example:
Hyphenate compound words used as adjectives, but not those that include an adverb
ending in –ly. For example:
Use the apostrophe to indicate possession. Note however, that "its" is a possessive
pronoun that lacks an apostrophe. "It's" is a contraction of "it is."
When words designate a word, do not use 's (apostrophe s) to indicate plural. For
Plurals of figures add an s not an 's (apostrophe s). For example:
For plurals of single letters, use 's: For example:
For plurals of multiple letters, including acronyms, add s. For example:
Composition titles are the names of books, movies, operas, plays, poems, songs, television
programs, lectures, speeches, works of art, etc. Associated Press style requires that
these titles are enclosed in quotation marks and are never italicized.
Do not use quotation marks, bold font, underline or italics casually or for emphasis.
Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks.
Question marks and exclamation marks go inside if they are part of the quoted material.
"Said" should always be used when quoting or paraphrasing a source. If quoting a publication,
use "according to."
Avoid exclamation marks for emphasis. Use them only sparingly for emotion or a strong
The following words have more than one spelling. These are preferred versions:
Always write out "and" unless an ampersand (&) is used in an official name or title.
For publications, the names of companies and corporations that support Texas Tech
University System programs should be spelled as they appear on their letterhead or
corporate statements. Punctuation separating "Inc." should follow Associated Press
style and not be used. For example:
When referring to equipment that has been donated to the university or university
system, give the proper trade name and spell the company correctly. For example:
Avoid redundancies. For example:
Avoid passive voice. For example:
Avoid beginning sentences with "There are" and "It is."
In formal writing, avoid first person (I, we) and second person (you).
In less formal documents, first and second person sometimes may be used to create
a more personal tone.
Every effort should be made to include women and minorities in photographs and copy.
Access for persons with disabilities is often best illustrated in photographic images.
It is recommended that publications and letterhead from the Texas Tech University
System, Texas Tech University and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center
should include some form of Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action statement.
At a minimum, it is recommended that you use: "An EEO/Affirmative Action Institution"
on your publications.
For other wording, or for questions, please contact the Equal Employment Opportunity
Office at (806) 742-3627.
Re-read copy carefully to avoid racist, sexist or insensitive implications.
"Handicapped," "disabled" and "impaired" should be used carefully and only when clearly
pertinent and appropriate for your material. Keep in mind the following meanings and
Capitalize the proper names of nationalities, peoples, races and tribes. For example:
Lower case "black," "white" and other racial designations, whether used as adjectives
or nouns.
For questions, please contact the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs at
(806) 743¬-1522.
Writers of Texas Tech University System publications should avoid suggestions that
programs and aspects of general university life are limited to or directed at a specific
Do not use "he" when the intent is "he or she" or "she or he." For example:
Though "he or she" or "he/she" may be used occasionally, careful attention to writing
will avoid awkward language and the over-use of these terms.
In some cases, the male and female references can be alternated. In other cases, no
gender-specific word need be used at all.
When reference to a specific gender is necessary, "men" and "women" generally are
the preferred titles. For example:
Sometimes "male" and "female" may be appropriate. For example:
"Boys" and "girls" properly refer to children.
"Alumnus" ("alumni" in the plural) refers to a man who has attended a college or university.
"Alumna" ("alumnae" in the plural) refers to a woman who has attended a school. "Alumni"
is the correct Latin plural for use when referring to both men and women who have
attended a school.
If you have questions about style, refer to "The Associated Press Stylebook" or contact
the Office of Communications and Marketing at (806) 743-2143.

WASHINGTON – President Obama on Wednesday unveiled the most comprehensive federal gun-control plan in decades, but even some of his supporters tacitly acknowledged that major parts of what he is proposing are unlikely to make it into law.
While Obama called for a renewed federal ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, congressional sources said that those ideas face stiff opposition, even from many rural-state Democrats.
More realistic, they said, was Obama's proposal for universal background checks for all gun buyers, as well as his adoption of a long-standing proposal by Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., to make gun trafficking a felony.
"If you look at the combination of likelihood of passage and effectiveness of curbing gun crime, universal background checks is at the sweet spot," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. "We're glad the president put such emphasis on it, and we look forward to working with him on this and other proposals to make our nation safer from the scourge of gun violence."
Meanwhile, Gillibrand said: "By cracking down on illegal gun traffickers and their vast criminal networks, we can stop the flow of illegal guns and reduce the violence that plagues too many communities around New York and across the country."
However, even those proposals are expected to face strong opposition from the National Rifle Association, which, in a statement, chided the president for ignoring its plan to put armed police officers in every school.
"Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation," the NRA statement said. "Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected, and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy."
While issuing 23 executive orders toughening enforcement of current laws, Obama also proposed several major changes that would require legislation, such as:
• An assault weapons ban that's more comprehensive than the one that was in effect for a decade before its 2004 expiration.
• A ban on ammunition magazines of more than 10 rounds, as well as a ban on armor-piercing bullets.
• Eliminating a loophole in the law that allows people to buy guns without a background check at gun shows across the country.
• A proposal to make gun trafficking a felony.
• About $500 million in addition federal spending to train police officers and teachers about gun violence, to hire school psychologists and social workers, to conduct research on violent video games and media images and to bolster mental health programs.
"The most important changes we can make depend on congressional action," the president acknowledged.
Obama outlined his plan at an emotional White House event. Behind him were four children who had written letters to the president, pleading for action.
Before him sat an audience filled with people who had lost loved ones to gun violence, most notably the families of children who were killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn.
In detailing his plan, Obama implicitly acknowledged the difficult political fight ahead.
"If there's even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there's even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try," he said.
The legislative effort on gun control is likely to start in the Senate, which, congressional sources said, is likely to take it up piecemeal rather than in one comprehensive bill. That's because an assault weapons ban could be a poison pill that could kill the entire package if everything were wrapped into one bill.
With Senate Democrats up for re-election next year in gun-friendly states ranging from Louisiana to Montana to Alaska, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he wasn't sure that an assault weapons ban could pass the Senate.
Congressional sources said Obama's proposal to limit the sale of high-capacity magazines faces similar political perils.
Legislation requiring more comprehensive background checks stands a much better chance of passage, Leahy, D-Vt., said at an appearance at Georgetown Law Center. "There are some who say nothing will pass. I disagree with that," he said. "What I'm interested in is what we can get."
And even local gun rights activist Harold W. "Budd" Schroeder, of Lancaster, chairman of the Shooters Committee on Political Education, said he could be open to expanding background checks to gun show purchases if there's evidence that criminals are buying their weapons there.
"People who will be a danger to themselves or others should not have access to guns," Schroeder said. "None of the legitimate gun owners want those people to have guns. That is the only part of the [Obama] proposal that makes any sense."
Congressional sources said legislation that would make gun trafficking a felony and would boost federal spending on school safety and mental health also could conceivably pass.
Still, congressional Republicans were, at best, noncommittal about any legislation.
The appropriate House committees will review Obama's proposals, said Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio. "And if the Senate passes a bill," Steel said, "we will also take a look at that."
Meanwhile, rank-and-file Republicans were largely hostile to any legislation stemming from Obama's suggestions.
"I believe he is trampling on the rights of law-abiding citizens" who own guns, said Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence. "The president is using this tragedy [in Connecticut] to force through gun legislation and, to some extent, is politicizing tragedy, which I find inappropriate."
Facing such stiff Republican opposition, Obama also used his executive power to enact 23 initiatives aimed at curbing gun violence.
Most notably, Obama is:
• Requiring federal law enforcement agents to trace guns used in crimes.
• Strengthening penalties for people who lie on gun background checks.
• Bolstering government research on gun violence.
• Setting aside federal grant money for school safety programs and community efforts to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them.
• Launching a national gun safety campaign.
Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, focused his criticism at the president's legislative proposals.
"A number of the proposals laid out by the president today place considerable restrictions on Americans' Second Amendment rights, and I remain concerned that eroding one of our constitutional rights will lead to more limits," said Reed, who stressed the need for better mental health services instead of gun control.
Gun-control advocates, on the other hand, were thrilled with the president's proposal. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg both issued statements praising the effort.
And Arlee Daniels, program director of Buffalo's Stop the Violence Coalition, said: "I think this is long overdue. I hope all of this passes."
In particular, Daniels said he hopes Congress enacts restrictions on large-capacity magazines.
"There's no reason to have a 30-round clip unless you're preparing for war," he said.
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, also praised Obama for "a very comprehensive proposal," saying he was pleased that it included not just needed gun regulations, but also an emphasis on mental health issues.

California co-ops renew plea for milk price help
California co-ops renew plea for milk price help
Petition resubmitted to state for temporary increase says industry's survival is at risk.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
California's largest dairy cooperatives have renewed a plea for help to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), warning that survival of the state's dairy industry is at risk.
On Wednesday this week, California Dairies Inc., Dairy Farmers of America Western Area and Land O'Lakes Inc., jointly resubmitted a petition to CDFA on behalf of all dairies in the state asking for an emergency hearing to consider a temporary increase in the whey component value used in the state's Class 4b (cheese) milk pricing formula.
The petition says sharply high feed costs – which CDFA's own data show have increased 55 percent in the last two years – have slashed operating margins and reduced survivability prospects for California dairy farms.
The focus of an emergency hearing would be to increase whey value levels used in the current Class 4b formula. The market value of whey has soared dramatically since it was enacted, and a huge gap now exists between what is being passed along to dairy producers in California versus what producers in federal milk marketing orders receive.
"In light of the pressures being faced by dairymen right now because of high feed prices and low margins, we ask for an emergency hearing so that the proposal can be implemented immediately and remain in place for a six-month period," says the petition.
"We are mindful of the efforts being made to forge a foundation for a strong and viable dairy industry in the future, and we understand our obligation to be engaged with the rest of the dairy industry. However, our members need to survive in the short-term first," it adds.
The CDFA Secretary has 15 days to respond to the petition's request. If a hearing is granted, it could be held as early as mid-January.

International exports shoring up coal industry
March 7, 2013
Prior to the election last November, President Barack Obama's supporters insisted those — like this newspaper — critical of his war on coal didn't know what we were talking about. The U.S....
Of course some of you never got quadrupled bills yet; you don't pay any. Welfare recipients don't work. Duh!
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Let's use another data set to indicate why the war on coal is such a fallacy since, Mr. Editor, you only offered a veiled reason; Natural Gas is stomping coal in steam electric power generation.
The price of coal has dropped from a high of around $140 per short ton in 2008 to around $75 today. So, a bunch of players entered the market during that time, overloaded it with product, are now getting beat by another power source, and the MARKET is correcting this overabundance of resources.
If you think otherwise, post ONE regulation this administration created SOLELY on its own next time in making the Obama is anti-coal argument. Usually, creation of MACT rules are the reason given. But, let us be reminded that many previous administrations began the work on those EPA regs. This admin has just finalized them and is putting them in place.

so this honest interview occured in 2008, my bills havent QUADRUPLED yet.. thats 5 years. the only thing thats QUADRUPLED is the price of gas, thanks to the REPUBLICANS, not obama.

Obama's promise? To QUADRUPLE your utility rates. REMEMBER Cap & Trade? And his ONLY honest interview? He admitted in 2008 that HIS energy policy would quote "necessarily quadruple utility rates!" Let's hear What and FedUp start whining when they have to pay THOSE kind of utility bills. And they will.

Is the cacerts file in diablo-JRE 1.6 incorrect?
By Ye Julia Li on Nov 12, 2009
The size of cacerts file of diablo-JRE 1.6 (JRE on FreeBSD OS) is only 32Bytes. Compare with the 63KB cacerts file of SUN Solaris JRE 1.6, the diablo cacerts is almost an empty file. When I run an java application which transports date with HttpClient with the diablo-JRE 1.6, the transportation fails. After I replaced the diablo cacerts with a cacerts file from Sun Solaris JRE 1.6, the application transports data successfully. Is it the diablo cacerts incorrect?
BTW: I sent emails to freebsd java alias to ask this question. But I receive no reply.

New $100 Bill to Go Into Circulation in October
A redesigned $100 bill is headed for wallets after printing glitches delayed production by two years.
The new bill will be issued on Oct. 8, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday. It incorporates several new security features, including a blue three-dimensional ribbon woven into the paper and a color-changing Liberty Bell image that will make it more difficult for counterfeiters to replicate. The design, which still features Benjamin Franklin's portrait, was originally unveiled in April 2010 and was set to be circulated in February 2011.
But a series of complications with the paper led to creases as it went through the printing press. The Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing has since sorted out the issues, finding production was affected by factors including humidity, recycled paper content and age of the paper.
The bureau also had to change the way it feeds paper into the printer because the complex security features made the paper more wavy, said Dawn Haley, a spokeswoman for the Bureau.
Now, paper with creases as small as 0.003 inch is rejected as it goes through the press. The quality-control process is aided by four high-resolution cameras that inspect the sheets as they travel along the production lines, at the printer's two facilities in Washington, D.C., and Ft. Worth, Texas, Ms. Haley said.
"We've resumed full production and are confident that there will be sufficient inventories of the new $100s to meet the domestic and international demand when it begins circulating," Ms. Haley said.
The goal is to have 3.6 billion notes worth $360 billion printed by the first day of issue to meet demand, the Fed said.
The bill's signature won't be Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew's but rather Tim Geithner's, because the printing plates had already created before the leadership change earlier this year. Ms. Haley said it hasn't been determined yet which U.S. note will be the first produced with Mr. Lew's signature.
Close to 9 billion $100 notes is currently in circulation, with as much as two-thirds held outside the U.S., a Fed spokesperson said. This particular bill is the most widely circulated and most often counterfeited denomination outside the U.S.
Beginning on Oct. 8, the Federal Reserve's 12 regional banks will distribute the new bills to financial institutions. As older designs work their way through the banking system, they are eventually returned to the Fed and destroyed.
A $100 bill lasts about 15 years, Ms. Haley said.
The new security ribbon contains images of bells and the numeral 100 that move as the note is turned. Another feature is a picture of the Liberty Bell that changes colors from copper to green and disappears into an inkwell image when it's tilted.
The Fed originally planned to issue the bills on Feb. 10, 2011.

What to Know About Your Treatment Choices for Kaposi Sarcoma
Your treatment choices for Kaposi sarcoma (KS) depend on the results of your lab tests and the extent, called the stage, of the disease. Your doctor will also consider these factors when recommending a treatment:
How far your HIV or AIDS has progressed, if you are infected
The location and size of your lesions
Your age
Your general health
You'll probably want to learn all you can about your disease and treatment choices. That way, you can take an active part in decisions about your medical care. You are likely to have many questions and concerns about your treatment options. You'll probably want to know how you will function after treatment. You'll also want to know if you will have to change your normal activities.
Your doctor is the best person to answer your questions. Your doctor can tell you about your treatment choices, the expected success of those treatments, and the possible risks and side effects. Take the time you need to make the best decision for you.
Treatment for KS is either local or systemic.
Local treatments remove, destroy, or control KS cells in one area. The main local treatments for KS are surgery and radiation therapy. Another local treatment uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and kill KS cells. This is called cryosurgery. Doctors also can place medication on the lesions or inject it into them.
Systemic treatments destroy or control cancer cells throughout the entire body. These treatments affect the whole body by traveling through the bloodstream. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy are systemic treatments for KS. You may have just one treatment or a combination of treatments.

In his decades as a renowned golf coach and player on the PGA and Champions tours, Jim Hardy has attracted not only a clientele of impressive players, but top teachers from around the globe flock to his clinics as well. At the heart of his approach is a simple philosophy: There is no universally right or wrong way to swing a golf club. In fact, Hardy teaches that every person's golf swing is as unique as a strand of DNA. Of course, this creates a challenge for instructors. Now, in Solid Contact, Hardy distills his remarkable system for readers of all skill levels, teaching them how to self-diagnose their shots and correct their swings and misses on the very next shot.
Packed with instructional drawings and anecdotes about lessons that spurred turnarounds for the best instructors and pro golfers in the game, Solid Contact addresses the unique aspects of each golfer's swing. Hardy's plus/ minus system draws on three actions: the swing, the swing's impact, and ball flight. Working through evidence in each of these three categories, readers can tailor their actions to address weak points for dramatically improved effectiveness. Putting the world's best instructional techniques in the hands of all readers, Solid Contact delivers lasting results in record time.

6 Movie Soundtracks That Put the Actual Movie to Shame
I bought a lot of soundtracks in the 1990s. My two favorite CDs with pictures of movies on them were The Jerky Boys and Mortal Kombat, because 12-year-old Tom had an odd fascination with techno music and Collective Soul. While those two feature films and the albums they spawned have long since fallen victim to the amnesiac nature of pop culture, there are a handful of mediocre-to-terrible '90s movies that are only remembered fondly (or remembered at all) because they had hugely popular soundtracks.
#6. Dangerous Minds
Hollywood Pictures
Dangerous Minds was based on a relatively light-hearted memoir that Hollywood snatched up and beat with a tears-and-action stick until one of the characters died for maximum dramatic potential. Michelle Pfeiffer plays a no-nonsense former Marine turned English teacher, and you can tell she doesn't take any sass by the way she stands around crossing her arms in a leather jacket all the time.
Hollywood Pictures via YouTube
And by her proficiency in leather jacket karate.
Michelle tries to teach a bunch of teenage rap fans in the mid-'90s about poetry by using Bob Dylan as her talking point, instead of, say, Tupac, because apparently people stopped writing song lyrics in the 1960s and she really only wants to reach out to these kids if she can do so without familiarizing herself with their interests on even a superficial level. It's like Stand and Deliver if Edward James Olmos tried to connect with Lou Diamond Phillips by speaking to him in nothing but quotes from the movie Grease.
Hollywood Pictures via YouTube
"'Shoot a homeboy.' This is how you cats jackjaw, right?"
Dangerous Minds was a big commercial hit but was almost universally derided by critics for taking an uplifting story about inner city kids and turning it into a movie about a bunch of improbably attractive juvenile assholes and their patronizing asshole teacher.
The Soundtrack:
The Dangerous Minds soundtrack album went triple platinum thanks to "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio, and almost 20 years later we still know all the words to that goddamn song. It was everywhere -- the video was in constant rotation on MTV, and it got played twice an hour on literally every radio station. I'm pretty sure Billy Graham's radio ministries were taking breaks to spin that jam. Everyone walking the planet in 1995 loved "Gangsta's Paradise."
MCA Records/Hollywood Pictures via YouTube
Although I am convinced the video's popularity had more to do with L.V.'s impassioned sweaty goldfish face.
The song went on to sell over 5 million copies worldwide, earning Coolio a Grammy and a permanent place on the back of a Trivial Pursuit card.
MCA Records/Hollywood Pictures via YouTube
And a rare immunity to leather jacket karate.
Coolio tried to repeat this success two years later with "C U When U Get There" on the Nothing to Lose soundtrack, but that paradisiacal gangsta lightning bolt would only be trapped inside a bottle one time. "C U" still went gold, but it was arguably overshadowed by the late 1990s' fascination with writing terrible lyrics to Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major" (see also "Graduation" by Vitamin C) and never reached the heights of "Gangsta's Paradise." Within that same year, Coolio also hosted an art deco motorcycle race for Alicia Silverstone in Batman and Robin and issued a bitter public denouncement of Weird Al Yankovic, which is something only monsters do.
MCA Records/Hollywood Pictures via YouTube
#5. Batman Forever
Warner Bros.
Batman Forever was a big financial success, and the critical response at the time of its release was evenly divided among people who liked campy ridiculous nonsense and people who liked good movies. But you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who will defend Batman Forever nowadays, particularly in the wake of Batman and Robin, when Joel Schumacher definitively proved that, unlike Ben Affleck or Zack Snyder, he really was trying to make Batman as stupid as he possibly could.
Warner Bros.
Exhibit A.
The Soundtrack:
However, everyone, without exception, loves the Batman Forever soundtrack, because of these four words: "Kiss from a Rose."
Warner Bros./Atlantic Records via YouTube
Four sexy words.
Seal's magnum opus, the song that most people aged 25 to 40 know every single word to, was first unleashed on the world at large as a single off of the Batman Forever soundtrack. I have no idea what schizophrenic marketing genius assembled this record (it contains songs by PJ Harvey, the Offspring, and Brandy, three grossly disparate entities apparently united by their common passion for Batman), or who thought the best way to promote their retooled superhero franchise was to take a British R&B vocalist with a more prominent facial scar than the one Tommy Lee Jones wears in the fucking movie and have him sing a love ballad in front of the Bat signal with his shirt blowing around like a wailing poltergeist.
Warner Bros./Atlantic Records via YouTube
Whoever it was, that person hit a home run of pure victory, because "Kiss from a Rose" was a goddamned monster. The next time you have a group of friends gathered at your house, just start playing "Kiss from a Rose" without preamble or context and try to count the frowns. You can't, because there won't be any. (If by some freak occurrence someone does make a sad fart-crease with their face, kick them the hell out of your house, because that person is likely a robot.) That song won Seal three Grammys, millions of dollars, and Heidi Klum (although he eventually had to give Heidi Klum back, because he's apparently kind of an asshole).
Warner Bros./Atlantic Records via YouTube
"Don't cry, Seal. We'll let you keep the shirt."
Batman Forever: Original Music from the Electrifying Motion Picture Masterpiece also has "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2, a much less ubiquitous song that still managed to sell enough copies to be certified gold. That's two No. 1 singles on one soundtrack, and it was for a Batman movie that most Batman fans prefer to pretend never existed.
#4. Space Jam
Warner Bros.
Space Jam is one of those rare movies that manage to be utterly psychotic both on paper and in execution. There were no "Oh, it'll make sense once you see the finished product" conversations held about Space Jam. The initial pitch was never distilled into anything more coherent than "Michael Jordan teams up with a bunch of licensed cartoon characters to defeat aliens at basketball" and was only ever revised to include the addendum "And also Bill Murray is in it, as Bill Murray." In fairness, Michael Jordan was little more than a licensed character himself at this point in his career, so most of us weren't that surprised to see him in a 90-minute commercial with Bugs Bunny.
Warner Bros. via YouTube
"OK, everybody's wearing their Hanes now, right?"
Also, there's an interesting Space Jam dichotomy I have noticed among my peers -- everyone I know either watched it once and then forgot about it or has an aggressive fondness for the movie that borders on combative (I'm not naming any names, but if you go to the search bar in the upper right hand corner of the site and type in "space jam," you will notice that three quarters of the results were written by Dan O'Brien).
Warner Bros. via YouTube
This is probably what it looked like when Michael tried to cash his Washington Wizards paycheck.
The Soundtrack:
I am convinced the reason this fondness exists is because of the Space Jam soundtrack.
Warner Sunset/Atlantic Records
Released in a time when Jay-Z got second-to-last billing right before Bugs Bunny.
Think about it -- when you hear someone say something positive about Space Jam, the conversation usually goes something like this:
PERSON ONE: Hey look. Space Jam is on television, or is otherwise being referenced in some immediate way.
PERSON TWO: Oh, I love Space Jam!
PERSON TWO begins singing R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly," or alternately "Space Jam" by the Quad City DJ's.
That soundtrack went platinum six goddamned times. It was like a lightning rod for successful '90s soundtrack contributors -- Seal recorded a respectable cover of a terrible Steve Miller Band song, and Coolio lent his voice to two different tracks (see "trying desperately to replicate 'Gangsta's Paradise,'" above). More importantly, it turned R. Kelly into a worldwide star, throwing wide the doors of possibility for his face-pissing antics and earning him three Grammy awards, which he has probably also peed on.
Warner Sunset/Atlantic Records via YouTube
Presumably while making airplane arms.
If Space Jam hadn't given us all those songs we still enjoy singing, nobody would be talking about Space Jam anymore, and R. Kelly could never have released a 33-chapter music video about hiding from a cuckolded husband in a closet full of his own sex mist.
Warner Sunset/Atlantic Records via YouTube
But he'd still have his airplane arms. Nobody can take those from him.

One of the suspects in the rape of a 12-year-old Buffalo girl two months ago has been arrested, Buffalo police reported Wednesday night.
Derrick D. Young Jr., 19, of Adams Street, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning by Police Officers Keith Fitzner and Brian Griffin. He was being held on charges of second-degree rape and forcible touching.
The girl's mother told police that three males, two of them juveniles, forced her daughter into a basement in the first block of Hazelwood Avenue between 8 and 9 p.m. on Jan. 19 and raped her, according to a police report.

Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has upheld all provisions of Act 10. Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation, issued the following statement in the wake of today's ruling:
"We applaud the court's ruling upholding Act 10. The court relied on principles established in Foundation-supported U.S. Supreme Court victories which have held that union officials have no constitutional power to force workers to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment.
"The court's decision strikes a mighty blow for individual workers who do not want anything to do with an unwanted union in their workplace. Wisconsin government union officials should now understand that the constitutionality of Right to Work laws has long been a settled question. We're happy to report that the court rejected the union lawyers' frivolous arguments and ensured that thousands of Wisconsin's civil servants will continue to labor free from union coercion.
"No Wisconsin public worker should ever be forced to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment. Now it is time for Wisconsin's legislature to protect that right for Wisconsin's private-sector workers and pass a private-sector Right to Work law."

When Alan Cooper delivered the opening keynote at Interactions08 this
morning, I was once again struck by how sensible his view is. As I
understood his core argument, it was:
1. We know that the best interactive products are not the first to
market but the ones that have the best quality design.
2. Business managers often fail to understand this because they do not
know how to manage "creatives" among whom he numbers both interaction
designers and programmers.
3. The typical business approach is to develop requirements and then
build the product.

3 banking dealbreakers
One thing I've heard often from experts in the banking industry is that there's a lot of inertia around people's banking choices. What I mean by that is, people tend to stay with the same bank until it does something so heinous, so unforgivable, that they are forced to move on.

Why we're fighting for green energy
27 July 2012
Working on energy policy is critical for WWF. Our energy experts are part of our vitally important climate change team, reflecting the fact that the world urgently needs to move away from high-carbon fossil fuels if we're to have any chance of avoiding dangerous levels of global warming. That's a huge challenge - but we're clear that the solutions lie in clean renewable energy and using energy more wisely.
The 'decarbonising' of our energy systems is a priority area of work for both WWF-UK and our global network.
Here in Britain, we have a golden opportunity to start creating a green, secure and cost-effective energy system right now. The government is in the process of conducting an Energy Market Review, which will determine the balance of renewable energy, nuclear and fossil fuels in our energy mix for the decades to come.
These changes will be set in law by the government's Energy Bill, currently in draft form, which will start its slow progress through the parliament in the autumn.
On Monday this week, parliament's Energy and Climate Change Select Committee published a highly critical report on the draft Energy Bill, arguing that the treasury had made energy policy "unworkable". Committee chairman Tim Yeo said:
"If the Energy Bill does not set a target to largely decarbonise the electricity sector by 2030, then the UK may miss one of the biggest opportunities it has to create a low-carbon economy in the most cost-effective way."
In response, our own chief executive David Nussbaum questioned why the treasury was so intent on undermining energy policy in the UK. David said that the chancellor George Osborne and the treasury were looking "increasingly isolated" on energy policy, and pointed specifically to their failure to agree support levels for onshore wind.
Businesses had expected the government to agree a reduction in subsidy levels for onshore wind – a 10% cut was widely seen as reasonable – but there were reports that, in response to backbench pressure to cut subsidy levels dramatically, Mr Osborne was seeking deeper cuts of up to 25%.
This prompted our CEO to suggest that the government's failure to agree support levels for onshore wind "might appeal to a narrow political faction, but is clearly not in the national interest."
Also on Monday, news emerged that the Scottish government, which historically set subsidies at the same level as those in the rest of the UK, had lost patience with the coalition's delaying on the issue and moved to agree the 10% cut.
But then, in a dramatic new twist to the story, the Financial Times revealed the contents of a letter from the chancellor to energy secretary Ed Davey, in which he set out a range of conditions for agreeing to the 10% cut. These included renewed support for gas in electricity generation in the UK, the abandoning of decarbonisation or renewable energy targets, and the commitment to further reviews of renewable subsidy levels.
The 10% cut was finally agreed, but it was a hollow victory for supporters of renewable energy - and remarkably the announcement was accompanied by a £500 million tax break for gas companies.
Overall, this week's developments were merely an opening skirmish in the ongoing battle between the energy department and the treasury.
Our deep concern about the political wrangling over such an important issue promoted David Nussbaum to write a letter to the prime minister, pointing out the dangers of increased reliance on fossil fuels, the impact that the lack of policy certainty was having on businesses, and that the green economy more widely is one of the few parts of the UK economy showing strong growth.
Put simply, George Osborne's insistence on backing more gas in our energy mix and the lack of support for renewables is, we believe, highly risky.
The government's own Committee on Climate Change has warned that another 'dash for gas' would be incompatible with meeting our carbon reduction targets and is not economically sensible.
It's also clear that the ongoing uncertainly over energy policy is severely damaging the UK's ability to become a world leader in renewable energy.
Energy policy is set to be a major battleground for WWF, both here in the UK and globally - so watch this space for more to come.

A 92-year-old Williamsville woman crashed her car through the garage wall and into the living room of her Coventry Road home at about 2 p.m. Friday, Amherst police said.
Though furniture stopped the car from getting too far into the living room, the car's wheels were still spinning when officers arrived at the scene.
The woman, who was not hurt, will be directed to submit to a state Department of Motor Vehicles' driver review course.
Police said the woman confused her gas pedal and brake pedal.

CALCUTTA - An employee with the Water and Sewer Department of the Columbiana County Engineer's Office sustained head injuries Tuesday afternoon after falling down a water meter pit outside an apartment complex in St. Clair Township.
Another Water and Sewer Department employee at the scene who did not wish to be identified said the worker had been descending a ladder built into the wall of a water meter shaft at the edge of Calcutta Woods Apartments, 15172 Sprucevale Road, when one of the rungs snapped, sending the man to the bottom of the 10-foot pit. The victim was attempting to take a monthly water meter reading at the complex when the incident occurred.
The man became disoriented after hitting his head against the concrete wall of the pit, but was able to call his wife on his cell phone and ask for help. She in turn called 911, with rescue personnel from the Glenmoor Volunteer Fire Department responding, as well as St. Clair Police officers and EMTs from North Star Critical Care.

Glenmoor firefighters were able to secure a harness around the man, who was conscious, and carefully lift him out of the the hole. Nearly an hour after making the distress call to his wife, he was taken to East Liverpool City Hospital by North Star for treatment of his injuries.
The victim was unable to tell responders when the incident occurred. "He didn't know how long he'd been in there," the anonymous employee said. Rick Hibbs, maintenance supervisor for the apartment complex, was present during the ordeal. He said the victim's departmental truck had been parked near the meter pit since 1 p.m., and that the victim placed the call to his wife at around 1:25 p.m.
The Review attempted to contact the Water and Sewer Department for further information regarding the incident, with negative results.

Not by default. Married couples should do whatever it is they feel is right for them and their situation because everyone's situation is different. For me, the answer to that question is yes. Many people always jump to the issue of trust whenever talking about combining finances because they assume that if you trust one another then you would combine your finances. If you trusted one another, you wouldn't require a prenuptial agreement. If you trusted one another, you would have separate bank accounts and you wouldn't draw the line so clearly.
The problem with that line of reasoning is that it's not that simple anymore and to boil down a financial decision into an emotional one is a bad decision. There are many emotion independent reasons why you should combine finances and there are many emotion independent reasons why you shouldn't, I'll outline them both and then let you decide which is best.
Here are some reasons why married couples should combine their finances:
1. It's just easier
Having two of everything is terribly inefficient. If you wouldn't want to separate milk cartons or egg crates in the fridge, why would you want two bank accounts or two brokerage accounts? The simple fact is that dealing with one of something is much easier than two of something and you can remember one thing better than you can remember two of something, such as credit card bills. By reducing the number accounts, you simplify your life and reduce the number of potential errors.
2. Fewer accounts mean higher balances, better returns
Many banks and brokerages have low balance fees or better rates for higher balances and so there is a true financial incentive to pooling your financial resources. While some of the low balance fees are really low on a relatively scale (like $3,000 for some Vanguard funds), by pooling your finances you have a chance to get in on the investment a little bit earlier. Also, some accounts offer higher returns for larger balances. Again, you can take advantage of this earlier if you pool resources.
Here are some reasons why married couples shouldn't combine their finances:
1. Building credit history
This is an acute problem for men and women who relied on their partner to handle the finances and then find their lives without that person due to death, divorce, or some other reason. If every bill was in one person's name, the other person wasn't building credit history. Now, you might say that this is only a problem if you think you're going to get divorced but that's not a good approach because there are any number of reasons why you would be separated, temporarily or permanently, and so both sides should be building a history.
2. Access is restricted in probate
If one spouse does die, the accounts with their name on it will likely be frozen until the courts can settle the estate. This is the second biggest reason why you should at least have some money in an account with only one spouse's name on it – they can access it during this unfortunate time.
Those are the two biggest non-emotion/trust related reasons for both cases and I think each side has valid points. Now, as we all well know, life isn't black and white. You don't have to split it entirely down the middle and you don't have to pool it all, you and your spouse can decide that you want to pool 80% and keep 20% on the side – remember, in this stage of the game, you decide what's right for you. Thoughts?

The all-purpose, all-welded Tracker Grizzly 1448 MVX Jon is a tough, nimble, and affordable jon boat for anglers, bowfishers, and waterfowlers! The deeper, roomier interior leaves plenty of room for tackle and decoys, and 2 pedestal seat bases accept a variety of seating options.
New for 2015, the 1448 MVX boasts an underfloor raceway for electric wires, topped with a thicker .190 aluminum floor for a quieter ride and a sturdier surface underfoot, plus a roomier front deck for casting or taking that crucial shot. In addition, the new 7° deadrise hull provides a smoother, drier ride in the chop.
Structurally, this jon boat is built to last, with a welded-in longitudinal stringer system for full-length support of the running surface, an all-aluminum box-beam transom with corner braces, and fully-welded, unitized construction for rock-solid hull integrity.
It's all finished with an industry-exclusive Forest Green powder-coat finish (also available in optional Grassland or Woodland camouflage paint schemes at extra cost) for extreme durability and slip-resistant footing.
So if you're looking for a rugged workhorse of a boat that's at home fishing, waterfowling, or bowfishing, the 1448 MVX Jon should be at the top of your list.
Have a question about the 2015 Tracker Boats Welded Jon & Utility Grizzly 1448 MVX Jon?

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
The impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on young children will be the topic of a special forum for parents, educators, student-teachers and community workers sponsored by Saint Vincent College, The Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media, the National Park Service and the Friends of Flight 93 to be held at the Fred M. Rogers Center at Saint Vincent from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, October 6.
"As the 10th anniversary of the September 11 tragedy nears, many events will examine the impact of this day," noted Mrs. Ginny Barnett, coordinator of the forum. "But few of these discussions will focus on children ages 5 to 9, even though young children will be exposed to the images and stories of 9/11, especially with the opening of the Flight 93 Memorial this fall. Responding to their questions and reactions can be difficult for parents and others who spend time with children. This forum will address how to respond to these concerns."
The forum will begin with the news and information that a child hears and sees about September 11 and Flight 93. "Presenting the story and how young children might react to that story sets the stage for how adults might respond to their concerns and questions," Mrs. Barnett continued. "The principles and concepts presented can be generalized and applied to other difficult situations such as grief, loss, and tragic news."
Featured speakers will include Gordon Felt, president of Families of Flight 93; Jeff Reinbold, site manager of the Flight 93 National Memorial; Dr. Roberta Schomburg, associate dean of education at Carlow University; Steve Woods, retired child grief specialist, The Highmark Caring Place; Hedda Sharapan, director of early childhood initiatives, The Fred Rogers Company; and Dr. Mary Margaret Kerr, professor and department chair, University of Pittsburgh School of Education.
Remarks will also be offered by Lladel Lichty of the Friends of Flight 93; Br. Norman Hipps, O.S.B., president of Saint Vincent College; and Archabbot Douglas R. Nowicki, chancellor of Saint Vincent College.
Cost to attend the Forum is $20 which includes continental breakfast and luncheon. The deadline for registration is Monday, September 26 but early registration is advised due to limited seating. Direct registration inquiries to the Event and Conference Services Office at Saint Vincent College, 724 805-2177.

So, I go to a public high school. Today, a new book for us to read in english called Fallen Angles. It is an anti-Vietnam War book, no surprise, being as we have a very liberal school and this isn't the first bit of indoctrination we have received. Anyhow, so before we read the book my teacher deciedes to go on a bit of a political rant about the war that happened decades ago basically saying America is stupid for wanting to stop the spread of communism and that if the people of Vietnam wanted it, who were we to try and stop them (never mind the fact that the people of the south didn't want it at all for obvious reasons)! This isn't the end however, and soon it was time to go over 'military terms' that we would happen across in the book. So he starts talking about the weapons of 'nam and then he gets to the M-16. He says, in his words, "the M16 is an assault rifle that fires semi-automatically, which means that if you hold down the trigger, bullets will keep firing until the clip is empty." SO I raised my hand to try and set him straight but he IGNORED me and went on to the next item, which was 'clip'. Well as you can guess, it should have been phrased MAGAZINE but to hell with it I suppose. Anyhow, that was my day. I am really glad I have autoshop for the last half of the day so I don't have to deal with their crap all day long. I am not looking forward to the future when my classmates run the country..that is for sure.

MCCUTCHENVILLE - High-yield wheat production, cover crops and an overview of farming practices in Seneca County were topics at Tuesday's Ohio No-Till Summer Field Day.
The event took place on the Margraf farm on SR 587 between New Riegel and McCutchenville.
The team presented a workshop Monday for about 100 area FFA students.
Article Photos
No-till farmer Dave Brandt explains the pros and cons of various types of cover crops during a no-till field day Tuesday.
Among the key factors in wheat production are choosing seed, establishing the crop with proper nutrients and controlling disease - mainly head scab - said Chris Bowley, co-owner of Wheat-Tech, Russelville, Ky.
Bowley, who works as a consultant and conducts research on wheat, said the other are important, but head scab resistance is the vital key.
"There is no variety out there that is totally immune to head scab," he said. "Scab's an issue for me and it'll be an issue for you.
"Scab is the most important disease to control. All the others are easy to control and of relatively minor importance."
Bowley encouraged the use of no-till practices with wheat.
"There's no reason you should not no-till wheat," he said. "All things considered, no-till is better for wheat."
Wheat may be planted in northern Ohio between Sept. 20 and Oct. 15, he said, so the plants get a good start before winter arrives.
"Depth control is the key to wheat surviving the winter," he said. "You need to see an inch in the ground or an inch and half in the ground. That's under the ground, not under the residue."
Aphid control also is important, he said.
"Little tiny insects out in my wheat. Can that really hurt me? The answer is yes," he said.
They are black or green about an eighth-inch long.
"It's very cheap to do something about aphids," he said. "It's very expensive to let aphids out in your field for any length of time."
In summary, Bowley said head scab is the main problem in wheat production, but yields add up for good managers of other details as well.
"But you can maybe add five bushels per acre because you did each step properly," he said. "It's attention to detail. It's treating it like you treat corn. You can make that 80-100 bushel-plus wheat."
A main focus for the Margrafs is keeping wheat in their crop rotation, and maximizing yields.
Field day host Bret Margraf said he and his father have been no-tilling since 2000, producing corn, soybeans and wheat.
"When we made the commitment to no-till it was purely driven by time," he said, because he and his father both worked full time.
As an employee of Seneca Soil & Water Conservation District, Margraf learned the benefits of no-till from then-co-worker Lynn Eberhard and others.
He said they also have experimented with cover crops.
"We started with radishes," he said. "Now we know we need a few companion crops with it. We're throwing nutrients out there. We want to make sure it's still there in the spring."
He said no-till and cover crops improve soil structure.
As an SWCD technician, Margraf presented information on tillage practices in Seneca, Crawford and Wyandot counties from a set of points known as the Sanduskry River Tillage Transect.
"We go back to these same points year in and year out," he said. At each data collection, a technician notes what crop was planted, the level of residue remaining from a previous crop and the tillage practice used.
There are 542 points in Seneca County, 563 in Sandusky County and 541 in Wyandot.
Data show producers are skipping the wheat in the traditional three-crop rotation of corn, soybeans and wheat.
"We really need that three-crop rotation," he said. " We need more than corn and soybeans because it's not going to be sustainable."
In addition, Margraf said continuous no-till isn't a popular option in Seneca County.
"Only 28 percent of soybeans in Seneca County were not-tilled in 2013," he said. "Less than 5 percent at those points that we collet have had no disturbance for three to four years in a row."
Another topic Tuesday was soil health and manure application, including "slurry seeding" of cover crops while applying manure.
"The bottom line is manure and cover crops are great companions and play a big role in improving soil health," said Tim Harrigan, Extension biosystems and agriculture engineer from Michigan State University. "There are also different options for doing it."
Harrigan provided specifics on the best types of manure and the best cover crops.
He said it's important to prevent overflow when applying manure.
"It's a great source of nutrients and organic matter, but when it leaves the field surface it becomes a contaminant," he said. "The bottom line is we want to distribute manure through the root zone."
Harrigan said several YouTube videos can be viewed by searching Midwest Cover Crop Council.
Also on the topic of manure, Glen Arnold, OSU Extension field specialist, provided specifics on side dressing corn with liquid manure.
He said studies show little difference in yield between using commercial nitrogen and using liquid manure.
"In years ahead I expect we will put manure on corn the day after its planted on more and more acreage across the state of Ohio," he said.
Other topics covered were tips on managing crop residue on fields, soil drainage research by Kevin King of the soil drainage research unit of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and afternoon field sessions included above- and below-ground benefits of cover crops.

Thanks to masterofmystery over at HBPMOVIEPICS at LJ we now have four new Half-Blood Prince 2009 calendar images from Amazon.
Check them out below:
RG.net would like to wish our favourite actor a wonderful, awesome, stupendous and fantastic 20th birthday!!!! Rupert, we wish you all the best for the coming year. We watch with admiration as your amazing talent continues to unfold, and we look forward to watching your career grow and prosper more than ever.
OK, this is my first post as an actual news poster, so let's all take a moment for a few deep breaths, and to remember our html tags...
Incase you hadn't noticed our Rupert Wire going crazy in the past couple of hours, word is now out that Rupert will, in fact, have a sex scene in his upcoming film, Cherrybomb. Please note that at this point, any mention of nudity is being assumed by the press.
Alan Horn, the President of Warner Brothers, has sent out a statement directly to the fans in response to the date change for Half-Blood Prince (your voices are not going unheard!).
It reads as follows:
A few more behind-the-scenes photos of Rupert on the set of Cherrybomb have surfaced again on the IMDb message boards! All were taken at the Valley Leisure Centre (or the "Titanic Leisureplex" as it was renamed for the film) and show a bloody Rupert, with co-star Rob Sheehan, emerging from the building in very shiny coverings!
Several new promotional images from Half-Blood Prince have popped up over the past couple of days. Most notable in this group of images is our first look at Ron and Lavendar! Also included is a shot of the trio and a seperate one of Harry & Ron.

Luxurious and Smart
By pupsmom10

From the moment I removed the protective paper, I knew this bag was extra special. The leather is buttery, and the gray and black scheme is stunning. All of the gleamy hardware was protected with paper, so the overall look was perfection. There are well placed pockets and comfortable handles. The bag is meticulously made and of beautiful quality throughout. I love it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great for Organization
By Shader

Well made, holds everything I need and has lots of pockets to keep me organized. But my favorite thing is the feel of the leather! It's soft and supple, yet feels sturdy enough to last for a long, long time.
Beautiful Bag!
By tpt1002
from Jacksonville, FL
I have been looking at this bag for over a year. I purchased the bag in December 2014 and can't believe I waited so long. Very beautiful, lots of pockets both inside and out. Perfect work bag yet good looking enough to bring into a restaurant for a lunch or dinner meeting. Leather is beautiful.
It's perfect! !
By msretta1208
from Birmingham, Alabama
I feel in love with this bag several years ago but I kept talking myself out of it because of the price. I love large bags and top quality smooth leather. The size is perfect for my needs. The pockets are the right sizes and in the right places plus the leather is very soft. I will keep a good bag for yrs, esp one I can use year round. The black & gray fit the bill perfectly. When I saw it was on sale, I had to get it. Getting an extra $25 off & fee shipping, I couldn't say no. Thank you. ....
Love it!
By Tati
from Houston, TX
I had my eye on this bag for awhile and finally decided to go for it...so glad I did. Very practical and functional for work and travel. Lots of different compartments and quality leather. My only little regret is that I wanted the bag in black/gray, but got in brown/cognac instead ... because it was on sale.

This is by far the best purchase I have made. The bag is stylish, roomy and practical. It is worth the investment.
in any color
By Esilversurfer
from houston texas
I did not see the grey and black one first. Even with the strange orange And tan that I have, I love it. Soft, organized, practical.A slightly longer handle would be nice so you could wear it over the shoulder more comfortably.
Function and form together
By Sterling
from Atlanta, GA
I read many reviews before finalizing my purchase decision. I am very happy with the overall style and love the color combination.Pocket distribution is good, large exterior pockets secured with magnetic clasp for quickly accessing sunglasses or a blue tooth headset.Exterior zippered pockets hold both of my cellphones and keys other other sundry items.Interior table pocket holds my Kindle Fire HD in its case.I can fit wallet, glasses, junior cira notebook and other items in the large interior pocket with room to spare.The only item I see missing is adjustable straps or a removable shoulder strap. If I load it up with a laptop in addition to all of my regular stuff, its heavier than I want to carry by hand. Plus not sure if the straps will fit over my shoulder when wearing my winter coat.
More than Expected
By Bink
from Fort Calhoun, Ne
This bag was so much better than seeing it online. It is the perfect size for my needs and the quality is outstanding. I know I will get many good years of use out of it.
Love at first sight
By Sgf65
from St Louis, MO
Love my new bag - holds my Circa with ease plus files and it has plenty of pockets so easy to find frequently used items like keys and iPhone. I have received dozens of compliments on it.

For many reasons, more and more people are choosing to work after they reach the age of 65.
As you approach age 65, you will want to make sure you understand all your health insurance options if you do not plan to retire.
Everyone has different health care needs, insurance choices and personal finances. As a result, there are many exceptions to Medicare rules and health insurance guidelines that might apply to your specific situation. With that in mind, here are some common scenarios and things to consider.
Scenario #1
Depending on the number of employees a given employer has, the law does not require your employer to offer employees who are 65 (and eligible for Medicare) the same coverage as other employees. In other words, smaller businesses can require you to enroll in Medicare. In this case, at age 65, you typically would have to choose one of these options:
Scenario #2
Employers with 20 or more employees are required to offer current employees who are 65 and older the same group health plan options that are offered to all other employees. In other words, it is your choice to enroll in Medicare or not.
Scenario #3
If your employer has 20 employees or more, you can remain on your employer's plan and enroll in Medicare Part A. You may delay enrolling in Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D. The following factors may determine if this is the right course of action for you:
Scenario #4
You can choose to enroll in Original Medicare (Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B) while being enrolled in an employer's health plan. The particular concerns are:
Scenario #5
In most cases, you can decide to enroll in Medicare at age 65 and decline your employer's group health plan. Before you do that, here are some things to keep in mind:
As you plan to work beyond age 65, there are many other scenarios that may match your unique circumstances. Make sure you carefully review and weigh the benefits of your employer's group health plan coverage against the various Medicare options. You'll also want to do a cost comparison.
Learn which BCBSGA Medicare Advantage plans are available in your area. BCBSGA has online tools to help you do comparisons of the types of plans that might be best for you as you transition from your primary health insurance.
Whether you plan to work beyond age 65, or if you are ready to retire, the official Medicare website is a great place to learn about your options. There are tools and informative content available at Medicare.gov, and the site is easy to use. You'll find helpful resources, including Medicare and Other Health Benefits: Your Guide to Who Pays First, which you can download as a PDF file.
Help is also available through your State Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program (SHIP). This program provides objective volunteer counselors who offer free, personalized Medicare counseling. You can also call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users, please call 1-877-486-2048. Lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The star, who filed for divorce on Friday, was photographed out and about in Los Angeles still wearing her wedding band – and exposing her upper-arm tattoo bearing her estranged husband's name.
Griffith, 56, looked casually chic while running errands on Tuesday in a powder blue, sleeveless blouse and jeans.
The shocking news came after friends say the couple's separate schedules led to separate lives. Though the split seems amicable – the actors released a joint statement saying they're ending their relationship "in a loving manner honoring and respecting each other" – there's plenty at stake in the upcoming proceedings.
Their combined fortune is rumored to total $50 million, and Banderas, 53, has made money with international investments in real estate.

Agriculture majors ARE worth it!
Agriculture majors ARE worth it!
A recent article from The Wall Street Journal, paired with our analysis, shows agriculture majors still have some worth.
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
It seems like agriculture majors just can't catch a break. Last year, The Daily Beast (an online news information site) listed "agriculture" as their third most useless major. Also on their list were horticulture (2) and animal science (20). We rebuked their "findings" in a blog ("Useless majors" aren't so useless) later last year.
But just last week, another site was putting us down again. This time, Career Cast called dairy farming the second-worst job out there (here's a link to the full article, "The 10 worst jobs of 2012"). While some dairy farmers might agree, they judged it on five categories: work environment, stress, physical demands, hiring outlook, and income. They might be right-on in a few of the categories, but let's dig deeper into the perception of income.
A different approach
The Wall Street Journal looked at majors in a different light yesterday. We found their comparison, based on a wide-ranging study from Yale University, much more "fair" to the majors involved. The full article is called "Which college majors pay best?" but we wanted to take it one step further.
By sorting the jobs by average wage, agricultural science ends up number 16 on the list of 24. But for the sake of argument, let's assume that 80 percent of jobs are in urban areas (the 2000 U.S. Census says 79 percent of our population is urban). The vast majority of our jobs are in urban and suburban areas. Let's also assume you want an agricultural science job in rural America. Now, how do we stack up?
We picked five dairy-area cities with no scientific basis and compared them to larger cities, or known higher-income suburbs, using the cost-of-living adjuster at BestPlaces.net. On average, our comparisons inflated salaries $23,202, to a level where agricultural science was just outside the top five majors listed in The Wall Street Journal's article.
While our comparisons are in no way scientific, the added $23,202 to the average rural salary puts these rankings in perspective. Of course, this doesn't add in the quality-of-life adjustments like a lack of stressful commute, working with your family, and feeding the world. What do you think? Are we making what's dreadful sound cheery, or are we a secret years in the making?
