The threat of bioterrorism will likely always loom over us. Bolstering the nation's biodefense arsenal provides a new arena and opportunities for biotech companies. PharmAthene was among the first companies to enter the biodefense field in 2001. Its mission all along has been the development and commercialization of medical countermeasures for biodefense.
The company's first product was an antidote for symptomatic anthrax infections developed by scientists at Harvard University. Development of the therapy, however, was terminated when it caused anaphylactic reactions in early clinical trials. Today, the company's portfolio contains five biodefense products, including three antianthrax agents. The company has received funding commitments for up to $554 million from the U.S. government so far, and by the end of this year the company expects to have been awarded $1 billion.
"This new arena is a cross between biotechnology and traditional defense contracting," comments Eric Richman, svp, business development. The biodefense marketplace differs in some key respects from the commercial marketplace. For instance, a commercial company may have tried to solve the allergic side reactions associated with the first anthrax antidote. "But in biodefense, you look for products that are easy to use and administer to a large number of people under less than perfect circumstances," explains David Wright, president and CEO. Additionally, biodefense products often do not require extensive safety data for approval by the FDA.
Moreover, biodefense companies can tap into alternative sources of funding. Project BioShield, signed into law in 2004, authorizes $5.6 billion in secure funding over 10 years for the advanced development and purchase of biodefense medical countermeasures.
In addition, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Agency appropriates development funds for promising biomedical countermeasures. Not only does the government pay biodefense companies to develop and advance drugs and products, but the government also buys them for the Strategic National Stockpile. "The government is our main customer," says Richman.

Looking back at the stories to remember from the past week:1. WASHINGTON STATE COMMUNITY ANGUISHES OVER MUDSLIDERescue workers spent the week digging through an immense pile of mud and debris in a fruitless search for survivors of the March 22 mudslide in the North Cascades community of Oso, about 55 miles northeast of Seattle. So far, 17 bodies have been recovered, with 90 people confirmed missing and feared dead.2. MYSTERY OF MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT 370 STRETCHES PAST THREE WEEKSMalaysian officials said Monday the plane with 239 people aboard went down in the southern Indian Ocean with no survivors, but they still do not know why it was off-course. Officials defined a new search area Friday, shifting it closer to the western coast of Australia. Planes spotted objects floating there, but it was not clear if they were from the jet, missing since March 8.3. WEST BACKS UKRAINE WITH BAILOUT OF UP TO $18 BILLIONThe loan pledge by the International Monetary Fund came Tuesday, the same day that the U.N. condemned the referendum that drove Crimea into Russian hands and the U.S. Congress backed even harsher sanctions against Moscow. Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, one of Ukraine's most divisive figures, said she would run for president.4. FEDERAL AGENCY SAYS NORTHWESTERN FOOTBALL PLAYERS CAN UNIONIZEThe decision by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board could revolutionize a college sports industry worth billions and have dramatic repercussions at universities. Northwestern said it would appeal the decision to labor authorities in Washington.5. AIR FORCE FIRES 9 IN NUCLEAR MISSILE CHEATING SCANDALIn addition to dismissing the nine midlevel commanders Thursday, the service said it will discipline dozens of junior officers at a missile base. The disciplinary moves, described as unprecedented in the history of the U.S. intercontinental ballistic missile force, came in response to an exam-cheating scandal.6. OBAMA SAYS MORE THAN 6 MILLION SIGNED UP FOR HEALTH CAREAfter a stumbling start, the health care program reached the milestone Thursday, four days before open enrollment season ends. The figure fulfills a revised goal set by the Congressional Budget Office. The administration has yet to say how many consumers actually closed the deal by paying their first month's premium.7. EGYPT'S ARMY CHIEF SAYS HE WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENTAbdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who announced his decision Wednesday, is widely expected to win the election in the nation beset by political turmoil and violence, a dilapidated economy and concerns over building a democracy. He has been Egypt's most powerful figure since removing President Mohammed Morsi and leading a crackdown on the once- dominant Muslim Brotherhood that has since been declared a terrorist group.Page 2 of 2 - 8. TURKEY SHUTS DOWN ACCESS TO YOUTUBE, CITING NATIONAL SECURITYThe move Thursday came after the leak of an audio recording of a government security meeting in which senior officials appeared to be discussing possible military intervention in Syria. Last week, Turkey suspended access to Twitter, which has been a conduit for links to recordings that suggested government corruption.9. JEREMIAH DENTON, FORMER VIETNAM POW AND ALABAMA SENATOR, DIES AT 89Denton, who died Friday, survived 7½ years in a North Vietnamese camp and alerted the U.S. military to conditions there when he blinked the word "torture" in Morse code in a TV interview. The one-term Republican, a strong advocate of conservative causes, lost a re-election bid in 1986 by a fraction of a percentage point.10. GWYNETH PALTROW AND CHRIS MARTIN MAKE A 'CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING'The breakup of the actress and the Coldplay frontman was announced Tuesday on Paltrow's website. There was mockery of her use of the New Agey phrase "conscious uncoupling" in announcing the split. They married in 2003 and have two children.

Fireworks in Puerto Rico, Oh My!
As had been previously stated, I have a long standing interest with fireworks, both for fun and profit. This info is for my "PYRO" friends out there.
The good news is, they do sell 'fireworks' on the island. The bad news is, the only thing I saw much of were fountains, fountains and more kinds of fountains. The only exception were some large-ish skyrocket shaped fountains (at Walmart) and Morning Glory sparklers, but those don't count.
Good thing I like fountains, huh?
Fireworks are legally sold 2 times a year (per Title 25, Subtitle 1, Part V, Chapter 53 of the Laws of Puerto Rico, 2007). June 1st through July 31st and November 15th through January 10th. I never saw any signs of… Continue reading

on December 19, 2012 - 9:28 PM
LOCKPORT – Christopher W. Cessna-Carter, whose attorney said he has been shot three times in the past year and a half, was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison and three years of post-release supervision for illegal possession of a handgun.
Cessna-Carter, 20, of North Avenue, Niagara Falls, had pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted second-degree criminal possession of a weapon for having a gun in his car July 9, 2011. Falls police were chasing the vehicle, which Cessna-Carter crashed into a tree on 24th Street.
The arrest came four days after Cessna-Carter had been shot in the leg. On Aug. 18, 2011, he was wounded in the abdomen by a shot fired through the basement window of a home on Walnut Avenue. No information was available on the third shooting. Cessna-Carter said he had the gun for protection.
Assistant District Attorney Brian D. Seaman said, "We have a growing problem in Niagara Falls, where people who are victims of violent acts take matters into their own hands."
Defense attorney Angelo Musitano said the gun was unloaded; the bullets were on the floor of the car. "He's got no prior record. Why should he be the example?" Musitano asked Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.

Look out below: Boeing Co. is bringing the next generation of plane-landing technology to the Lowcountry.
On the horizon
The number of jetliners around the world will double over the next 20 years as both passenger and cargo traffic grow annually by 5 percent, Boeing Co. predicted in its Current Market Outlook published Tuesday.
That means there will be demand for more than 35,000 new airplanes over that period, almost 70 percent of which will be single-aisle jets like Boeing's 737.
The demand for the new 787 Dreamliner is smaller, but Boeing remains bullish on that plane and its wide-body siblings.
According to Boeing, the most demand will come from the Asia-Pacific region, followed by Europe and North America.
Boeing's annual market forecast comes days before the official opening of the Paris Air Show, the biggest industry event of the year.
It's called a ground-based augmentation system, or GBAS, and it's a kind of global positioning system that new planes like the Dreamliner jets Boeing makes in North Charleston will use to descend safely through fog or very low clouds.
"It's for the 787 specifically," Boeing South Carolina general manager Jack Jones said.
Part of the Dreamliner's auto-landing system, the new technology replaces the previous instrument landing system that's standard on other planes, Jones said. Boeing South Carolina has been using a portable GBAS for its Dreamliners, but now it's time for a permanent solution.
The upgrade requires some new ground equipment to be installed near the Boeing South Carolina campus.
Trident Construction notified Charleston County this month that it has begun installing five "antenna bases and mats, underground electrical duct banks, and a pre-engineered shelter to house equipment" near the 787 factory at Charleston International Airport.
"When it does go public, we'll be one of the only airports that has it," said Sean Tracey, director of special projects for the Charleston County Aviation Authority, which owns and operates the airport. "Because Boeing funded it, it's here."
It's been more than five months since Boeing South Carolina delivered a 787. For those with short memories, it was right around New Year's, and it was to Air India.
Since then, the North Charleston plant's flight line has really filled up.
As of early Tuesday, there were seven jets along the ramp: one painted for Air India, two painted for Hainan Airlines of China and four more unpainted jets, one each for Air India and Hainan, and two for China Southern, according to All Things 787's tracker chart.
One more South Carolina-built jet flew to Texas over the weekend to get painted.
Representatives of those airlines should soon be coming from Asia to pick up their planes, but as Boeing often says, it's up to the customers when that happens. Until then, it's a packed house, inside and out, at the local plane factory complex.
Back in Congress
The Boeing 787 will be the subject of another Congressional hearing today. The House Subcommittee on Aviation will convene at 10 a.m. to discuss "lessons learned" from the 787's battery problems this year.
Federal lawmakers will hear from the 787 program's chief engineer and a top official from the Federal Aviation Administration, which grounded the new jet from January through April after a pair of smoky battery malfunctions.
The hearing follows Senate and National Transportation Safety Board hearings and an NTSB forum, all in April.
An earlier version of this story misstated how many months it's been since Boeing South Carolina delivered one of its 787 Dreamliners to a customer airline. It's been more than five months since the last local 787 delivery.

The Maritime Aquarium is more than just a place for families to have fun. We're engaged in ongoing research projects and collaborations with other area organizations to help ensure that the animals you enjoy here thrive in the wild for generations to come.
Jefferson Science Magnet School
The Maritime Aquarium began a collaboration with Jefferson Science Magnet School in 2006. Since that time, the Aquarium has functioned as an extension of the classroom for Kindergarten through fifth grade.
Programs are developed according to CT Science Framework Standards and Grade Level Expectations, as well as Norwalk's own specific goals. There are also interdisciplinary components in the Aquarium developed curriculum including Math, Literacy and Social Studies.
The Aquarium staff meets regularly with the Jefferson staff and administrators to plan programs, the budget and identify funding opportunities.
This partnership is successful, in that Jefferson students benefit from multiple science based programs.
This partnership is truly a model / cornerstone in the foundation of the Aquarium's capacity to make a difference in the classroom and the community.
Six to Six Magnet School Partnership
The partnership combines the Six to Six Science Interdistrict Magnet School with the rich, hands-on, science assets of the Discovery Museum and The Maritime Aquarium. Sponsored by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the program creates an unprecedented learning opportunity with experiential science embedded throughout. School enrollment includes free Family Memberships to both institutions.
The partnership serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade from Bridgeport, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull.
Project Limulus (Horseshoe Crab Tagging)
This tag-and-release research/education project focuses on the population ecology of the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) in Long Island Sound. Dr. Jennifer Mattei of Sacred Heart University's Biology Department is the principle investigator of this long-term, community wide research project. The Maritime Aquarium participates by tagging and collecting data on horseshoe crabs encountered during field studies and research cruises. It has been recently discovered that migratory shorebird survival is linked to the horseshoe crab's breeding season. Migrating shorebirds consume horseshoe crab eggs, helping fuel their long trip north to breed. In addition, the federally protected loggerhead sea turtle also depends on horseshoe crabs for food. Horseshoe crabs are also important to humans because of a component in their blood that is used to detect bacterial contamination in manufactured drugs and other pharmaceutical products.
By understanding the population dynamics of this species we will be better able to manage their harvest and prevent their extinction.
The horseshoe crab population ecology investigation is currently being supported by a grant from the Long Island Sound License Plate Program, managed by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and Sacred Heart University. Other participants include, Project Oceanology, SoundWaters, Bridgeport Aquaculture School, the Peabody Museum and the Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center. To participate in this study, contact Dr. Mattei at 203-365-7577 or email@example.com
To participate, volunteers should attend one of two training sessions at the Aquarium.
They'll learn about the natural history of horseshoe crabs, what has been learned so far from the census work, and how to safely tag horseshoe crabs. Volunteers should be in 10th grade or older. Younger children can assist if working with a parent, teacher or guardian.
Tagging can usually start 2 hours before and extend to 2 hours after low tide. We usually need to park outside the park and walk in the main entrance. Veer to the right, follow the road and gather at the Shea monument at the Coast Guard Auxillary/sailing school area at the southwest corner of the park.
Each participant should bring the following:
- Food and water – bring your own please.
- A good headlamp or flashlight(s) with broad dim light
- Pencils
- Insect repellent (midges and mosquitoes are common in most places at these times).
- Waders, hip boots or knee boots, sturdy walking shoes or clothing that can get wet and are appropriate for the weather.
Some find gardening/flooring knee pads a blessing and a sturdy bucket (6 gal. wine or sheet rock compound) great to sit on.
If interested in training and tagging, please contact us at (203) 852-0700 ext. 2304, or at email@example.com
The Long Island Sound Biodiversity Database
The Maritime Aquarium maintains The Long Island Sound Biodiversity Database.
What is Biodiversity?
It's the quantity of plant and animal species found in an environment. (The word is contraction of "biological diversity.") The more diverse a habitat, the better chance it has of surviving a change or threat to it, because it is more likely to be able to make a balancing adjustment. Habitats with little biodiversity (e.g., Arctic tundra) are more vulnerable to change.
The Long Island Sound Biodiversity Database is a searchable web resource to monitor species trends on Long Island Sound. Partners collecting data include The Maritime Aquarium, SoundWaters, SoundKeeper and the Bridgeport Aquaculture School.
Data is collected on 125 species of marine organism and water quality variables including pH, salinity, temperature, turbidity and dissolved oxygen. You can go to the database at the link below and run your own reports. Click on this link: tma.evendata.com. The public user name is Public User and the password is password. They are case sensitive.

Editor's Note: "Countdown to Statehood" is a weekly series highlighting the historical events that eventually led to West Virginia becoming a state on June 20, 1863. This article is the first in the series.
Statehood for West Virginia was a long, hard road.
In spite of popular belief to the contrary, the countdown to statehood and the western part of the state's problems with the rest of the state didn't start with the American Civil War. It started long before that.
Article Photos
West Virginia was carved out of the western side of the state of Virginia and became a state on June 20, 1863.
Western Virginia was originally part of almost six million acres acquired in 1718 by Thomas Fairfax, the 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. Lord Fairfax's huge land mass contained all the land between the mouth of the Potomac River and the mouth of the Rappahannock River.
In order to start selling his vast holdings, Lord Fairfax needed the huge acreage to be divided into smaller, more saleable plats. His land was formally subdivided by various surveyors, including a young George Washington, over a span of several years. Among those new first residents were German immigrants who settled in Mecklenberg (today known as Shepherdstown) by 1727.
By 1746, a stone was set called the Fairfax Stone (located today in Fairfax Stone Historical Monument State Park at the convergence of Tucker and Preston counties) to identify the Lord Fairfax parcel.
During the early 1750s, some settlers began crossing the mountains into western Virginia. Their journeys were often impeded and discouraged by Native Americans. A larger group started immigrating after the American Revolution.
In the latter stages of the 1700s, towns had sprung up in what today is known as the Eastern Panhandle - Morgan, Berkeley and Jefferson counties. Western Virginia was settled later, due to the aforementioned problems with the local Native American Indians and conflicting land disputes that took years to settle in the courts.
From the beginning, there were both physical and psychological differences from the two ends of the state, separated physically by the Allegheny Mountains.
Whereas their eastern Virginia neighbors owned plantations, raised tobacco with slave labor, and relied on the sea for its commerce, those who lived in western Virginia owned much smaller acreage and found slavery not to be profitable. Eastern Virginia's tended to face the Atlantic Ocean while their western counterparts traded more toward the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
As the years went by, the western section of the state increased in population more rapidly than their eastern counterparts, but their neighbors to the east always had the population advantage.
The 1790s census shows the total population of eastern and western Virginia to have been 750,000 with only 55,000 living in the western region. The eastern section had 13 times more people giving them a huge advantage in the General Assembly.
By 1820, the seaside's population numbers had grown, but the western region was growing significantly faster. Still the east plurality was six to one. Forty years later, in 1860, the western region continued growing much faster rate, cutting the east's majority to three to one. But even with the increase in population, western Virginia's representatives in the General Assembly got very little support from their eastern Virginia brethren.

Your Take: Your Favorite Meal
|Email Print
As I mentioned last week, my lovely wife and I have started cooking more because it's fun, healthier, and easier on the wallet. We've documented some of our creations on Bargaineering, from pork and shrimp dumplings to pizza to to homemade apple pie. We've even gone super high class and cooked up a Provençal rack of lamb earlier this year.
How do we pick what we want to cook? It's a mixture of what's on sale that week at our local grocery store and the meals we absolutely love. We both loved dumplings so we thought it would be fun to make our own filling and "make" dumplings. My wife always had homemade apple pie on the first day of school and so I made her a pie when she started her new graduate program.
In the end, part of the fun is taking a recipe, adding your own touches and tailoring it to match your tastes. Each time you make it, you get closer and closer to the perfect dish. We've tried our hand at replicating dishes from our favorite restaurants, sometimes we get it right and sometimes we are very very off. Either way, it's been a fun challenge. 🙂
For today's Your Take, I wanted to learn what your favorite meals or dishes were. We've shared some of ours and shown how easy many of them are to make, I was hoping you all could share your favorites. It doesn't have to be fancy or anything like that, in fact I would prefer if it wasn't so we could make it easily and often, but it has to be something you absolutely love. It can be a homemade dish or one you order from a restaurant – whatever is the first and favorite in your mind. 🙂
I look forward to reading what your favorite meal is!

Maple Grove Student Meets Warren Buffett to Share Ideas and Receive Advice on Leading Change to Improve School Wellness
Maple Grove Student Meets Warren Buffett to Share Ideas and Receive Advice on Leading Change to Improve School Wellness
Fuel Up to Play 60 Student Ambassador Met Business Icon After Winning a GENYOUth AdVenture Capital Grant to Implement Healthy Changes at Basswood Elementary
Josh Miller, a student from Basswood Elementary School in Maple Grove (District 279), experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet renowned business leader Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting in Omaha, Neb. today as part of GENYOUth Foundation's AdVenture Capital grant program. Miller was one of five students serving as a Student Ambassador for Fuel Up to Play 60, the nation's largest in-school wellness program created by National Dairy Council and the National Football League, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Students were selected for submitting an entrepreneurial idea to give their classmates greater access to healthier food and physical activity.
Basswood Elementary will receive $4,000 from GENYOUth Foundation to implement Miller's "Motivational Mondays," a 30-minute weekly exercise program.
"I'm excited that we'll be able to get a structured physical activity program going at our school," Miller says. "We're trying to solve the problem of kids just standing around at recess, and the benefits that we will receive from the program are endless. Getting fresh air and exercise helps you in school, and we can also build a sense of community, because a program like this with stations, music, and incentives for participating will include everybody. That is what I love about Fuel up to Play 60: It can help anyone."
During his meeting with Buffett, Miller shared his winning idea to improve school wellness and received feedback and advice from the business magnate. All five winners were special guests at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting, and will go on to lead their programs in school with guidance from an "Inspiration Panel" of young innovators in education, technology, and social media.
"Healthy students are better students, and kids themselves are often the best source of creative ideas to make schools a healthier place," said Molly Pelzer, RD, LD, senior vice president of Midwest Dairy Council. "Josh is a true leader at a young age, and we look forward to seeing how he will help his peers at Basswood Elementary to make health and wellness a priority."
From healthy cooking classes to recreational sports leagues, the AdVenture Capital student winners submitted innovative and youth-friendly ideas to create a healthier school environment. Additional national winners include:
Lily Ayotte – Milford, N.H. – 7th grade: "What's Cooking in Titan's Kitchen?," a series of after-school healthy cooking classes featuring guest chefs
Lashon Bonaventure – Bronx, N.Y. – 4th grade: "Project Play + Eating Right = A Healthy Me," a series of workshops for students to learn how to cook and grow organic produce
Emma Buchanan – Glade Spring, Va. – 10th grade: "Healthy Matters: Teaching Wellness for all Generations," a monthly class featuring health information, healthy family cooking classes and personal fitness guidance
Kaylene Khosla – Pueblo, Colo. – 9th grade: "Play Today. Succeed Tomorrow," a recreational sports league for elementary students to focus on teamwork, healthy diets, exercise and strategy
Created to nurture children's health and wellness in the school environment and surrounding community, the GENYOUth Foundation raises funds, unites partners with shared goals, and empowers youth to own change. GENYOUth Foundation's flagship program is Fuel Up to Play 60, which is currently active in nearly 73,000 schools across the country.
"Having spent many years on Wall Street and in media, and now working in the school environment, I know that creating opportunities for students to learn valuable business skills and effect real change is essential for their development and ultimate success in the global marketplace," said Alexis Glick, CEO of GENYOUth Foundation.
"When we conceived this program, I felt one person in particular, Warren Buffett, could inspire students and show them firsthand what it means to be a social entrepreneur and a citizen philanthropist. With grants of $1,000 to $4,000, AdVenture Capital will allow students to create innovative solutions to nutrition and physical activity in schools. We believe that when students are given a voice, meaningful change will follow."
Even more students will have the opportunity to receive funds from AdVenture Capital for improving the nutrition and physical activity environment in their school when the second round of grants is awarded this fall. The application period will open in mid-August. Visit www.GENYOUthFoundation.org for more information at that time. For more information about Fuel Up to Play 60, visit www.FuelUpToPlay60.com.

The film will be released with the '¡Tré!' album on August 26 after their Reading and Leeds performances
Green Day are set to release their documentary film, '¡Cuatro!', on August 26.
The film will come out as a CD/DVD, alongside the band's '¡Tré!' album - the final part of the punk band's recent '¡Uno!', '¡Dos!' and '¡Tre!' trilogy - which was first released at the start of the year.
The film received its world premiere at the Winter X Games back in January, and also screened at SXSW in Austin, Texas in March. The behind-the-scenes documentary, directed by Tim Lynch, looks at the process of making '¡Uno!', '¡Dos!' and '¡Tre!', as well as showing footage from the band's 2012 Stateside shows.
Of the film Mike Dirnt, the band's bassist, previously said: "¡Cuatro! brings our fans one step closer by giving them even more access and revealing what it was like for us to make these records."
Green Day played London's Emirates Stadium - the huge 60,000 capacity venue commonly used by Arsenal Football Club – earlier this summer, setting a new gig attendance record for the venue. The band took to the stage at the north London enormodome on June 1 to play a hit-packed set which also featured audience antics, bizarre costumes and Billie Joe Armstrong firing a huge toilet paper gun into the crowd.
The venue sold out all 60,000 tickets for the first time. Other acts including Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen have played sell-out shows at the Emirates Stadium in the past but their attendance figures were lower due to different staging and seating configurations.
Green Day return to the UK later this month to headline Reading and Leeds festivals on August 23 and 24. They performed at Reading last year, delighting fans by playing a secret set on the NME/Radio 1 stage on Saturday morning.

Runyan was charged with possession of stolen property and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both felonies, as well as driving while intoxicated and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He refused to take a breath test, deputies said, adding that Runyan has a previous alcohol-related driving conviction.

Creating Dairyland makes a great Christmas present
Creating Dairyland makes a great Christmas present
Creatively written book chronicles Wisconsin's growth as a major dairy state.
With his unique background and story-telling ability, author Ed Janus does an exceptional job capturing Wisconsin's rise to a major dairy state. "How caring for cows saved our soil, created our landscape, brought prosperity to our state, and still shapes our way of life in Wisconsin," is a fitting subtitle for Janus' colorful book.
A Washington, D.C., native who now calls Wisconsin home, Janus has a unique background. It includes being a partner on a dairy farm near Soldiers Grove, Wis., a founder of a successful micro-brewery, and a founder of a minor league baseball franchise. It is that background that makes this book all the more colorful.
In Creating Dairyland, Janus refers to the manure spreader as "the engine of sustainability." In his mind, the manure spreader is how the initial recycling of nutrients produced by an ever-increasing number of dairy cows brought the state's soil back to life again after repeating wheat crops depleted nutrient levels.
It wasn't just the manure spreader though. Along with the immigrants, "the cows came to the rescue" because their lives "were rooted in the soil" by depending on it for their feed and by replenishing it with nutrients, Janus explains.
But this was only part of the equation. Another spark that ignited Wisconsin's dairy ascension was W.D. Hoard. It was Hoard who was responsible for "the preaching of the gospel of the cows." The promise included that caring for cows would bring their owners prosperity and happiness, said Janus.
With his unique look on life, Janus goes on to describe silos as "the statues of Wisconsin." He reminds readers that, "Cows selected us — people who could be kind to animals."
As you continue through the book, journalist, oral historian, and former dairyman Ed Janus opens the pages of the fascinating story of Wisconsin dairy farming. He explores the profound idea that led to the remarkable "big bang" of dairying here a century and a half ago.
The 232-page book with 120 black-and-white and color images is an easy, enjoyable read. To order your own copy of Creating Dairyland, click here.

5 Terrible Situations for the Socially Awkward Man
You probably know how to function in society. You know how to talk to new people, how to order food in restaurants, and you know exactly what time you're supposed to show up at parties. I'm here to let you know that there's an entirely separate class of people that doesn't know all of those things. They show up too early to things, they disappointingly eat full meals they never ordered because they're too afraid to tell the waiter to send it back, and they have no idea how to shake hands with black people.
They are socially awkward, they are everywhere, and these are their nightmares.
Getting a Massage
Massages are probably really great. Some people rave about them, they go on and on about how soothing it is, and how they would just get a massage every single day if they had the money. On paper, it doesn't sound that awful, but for the socially awkward male, it, like all interactions with humans, should be avoided at all costs.
Getting a massage means being mostly naked while getting intensely rubbed by a complete stranger while something shitty, probably Enya, plays in the background. You take your clothes off, you get touched for a while to get relaxed, and then no one has sex with anyone. Right off the bat, I question the logic of a business built on coupling relaxation with concentrating absolutely all of my energy on not getting an erection. As guys go through puberty, they enter a phase of their life where they start getting incriminating erections--in class, at lunch, on the bus-- all the time and for no reason. So, like most healthy, awkward, American males, I spent the bulk of my time between ages 13 and 17 stopping my body from sprouting boners just whenever it wanted. Eventually, my body learned that, while they were mostly frowned upon, there were a few rare instances when erections were okay and, in fact, encouraged. Lying fairly naked on a bed in the dark while a woman rubs oil over your body is one of those times, my body believes.
"Look, your head is full-on inside her vagina, there's no way this is against the rules, I'm gonna stop by and say Hi."-My erection, at this moment.
Except, that is, during a massage, where you must recondition your body and fight all of your instincts which, if you're unfamiliar, is one of the least relaxing things one could do, (as far as boner relations goes). Mentally willing yourself not to get aroused while someone is casually administering all of the ingredients for arousal is the clearest example of sexual torture I can conceive of. Sensing your tension, your masseuse will softly coo "Relaaax," and you'll calmly shout "Nope!" because you're far too busy combating years and years of mental and physical conditioning. And then she wonders why you won't relax, which puts even more pressure on you.
Because awkwardness, at its core, is all about believing that everyone else knows exactly how to navigate a social situation, and you're the only one who hasn't figured it out yet. Nowhere is this more apparent than in a massage parlor. This is a situation that, with the oils and the touching and the rubbing and the stroking, is objectively sexual, but that's clearly not a problem for anyone but you. You imagine that other clients, and certainly your masseuse, have evolved beyond sexuality. In the way that people can look at a painting of naked people and see it as art instead of pornography, you're masseuse has reached a point where she can spend an hour alone in a dark room intimately rubbing a naked stranger and think "There is nothing at all strange about this."
And that will never make sense to you.
Standing Next to Someone at a Urinal
Notice I said "standing," and not "peeing." That's because, for the socially awkward male, this is the thought process that accompanies every trip to the urinal:
*Oh, good, there's no one else here. This'll be easy. In and out.
*You settle yourself in front of a urinal.
*The door to the restroom opens abruptly. The sound and implication that you are no longer alone startles you.
*You feel cold.
*You pray that the new occupant opts for a stall instead, because-
*Oh, shit, he didn't.
*Okay, this is fine. Stare straight ahead and just go. Just go. I really have to go, this shouldn't be a problem.
*He starts peeing. In the otherwise silent bathroom, his proud and confident stream does nothing but highlight the fact that you clearly haven't been peeing.
*He can hear. He can hear you not peeing right now. He knows.
*Don't think about that, just focus on peeing and all-
*"What's up, Man?"
*How have guys who talk in the bathroom not been shunned out of society?!
*"N-nothing, man." Just peeing, is all.
*"Oh, yeah. Chillin' chillin?"
*This conversation should be illegal.
*"Yes, I am chilling chilling."
*"No doubt. Crazy weather," he says, and he continues to chat, because you are the only one in the world who doesn't know how to talk and pee and stand next to another human at the same time. The only one in the world.
*Giving up, you pretend to shake away make believe urine, and maybe you even say "That sure was a good urine session," to really drive your ruse home, and then you make your exit. It is the toilet equivalent of faking an orgasm.
The only thing worse than not being able to pee in front of someone is knowing that they know. You know they're thinking about it, because there's very little else to do in a public restroom but evaluate your surroundings. It's already weird, but to the awkward, there's something extra bizarre about two guys standing next to each other at urinals. The awkward man knows that, at any moment, either one of them can say "Hey, I just realized that we are coworkers who rarely see each other outside of work and, at this moment, we are standing eight inches away from each other with our penises in our hands. Just figured I'd point that out in case it wasn't the only thing you could possibly think about under these circumstances." You never pull back at a urinal and think It's weird that it's socially acceptable for me to have a conversation wherein sometimes I look at you, and sometimes I look at my dick, but the socially awkward man thinks of absolutely nothing else.
"Just wanted to say I've been loving your work lately and, hey, you use one hand when you hold your penis. I use two. Wild."
Yoga Class/The Gym in General
Yoga is just a disaster. Not a lot of people know this, but it was invented by the Israeli military as a way to torture war prisoners in uniquely humiliating ways. Over the years, it's been adopted by spiritual fitness experts, but the underlying intentions of embarrassment still linger, especially for the socially awkward. Yoga utilizes a code of language that every participant except you understands. The instructor will say something like "Feel the energy bubbling at your center," or "Now go ahead and expand your heart chakra," and you'll think it's nonsense until you look around and realize that absolutely everyone else is expanding the shit out of their heart chakras." You've got your leg in the air and you're desperately trying not to fall down while simultaneously trying to "breathe through your core," as if that means anything, and your instructor will come over and give you some personal guidance:
Instructor: "That's good, but do me a favor and lengthen."
You, Struggling to Breathe: "Like... taller? Like be taller?"
Instructor: "Just lengthen."
You: "I feel like I'm as far as I can go, in all possible directions. I can't move anything."
Instructor: "Imagine there's a string attached to the top of your head."
You: "Okay, I'm imagining that... Is that- did I do it? Does imagining that mean I've lengthened?"
Instructor: "No, just imagine that string and then lengthen."
You, Currently Falling Over: "I need you to use a word that isn't 'lengthen' to get me to do whatever it is you want."
Instructor: "Here, I'm just going to put my hands on you and position you so-"
You: "NoGodpleasedon'ttouchme!"
Oh, right, yoga class is similar to massage parlors, in that everyone is doing objectively sexy things like putting butts in each other's faces and flinging pelvises with abandon, but no one finds it the least bit odd. The yoga instructor will occasionally point to some woman whose ass is thrust majestically skyward and say "Look, everyone, look at what Sapphire's doing and do that. Everyone look at Sapphire gluts," and you think No, society has trained me not to.
"Look at Candy's posterior, you really want that level of firmness. Here, watch me bounce this quarter off it."
When you're finished with your embarrassing tragedy of a yoga class, the rest of the gym at large is also just a minefield of awkwardness. There's a possibility that someone will ask you to spot them, which is difficult for you, because you have no idea where to put your hands. And someone might ask you what you're working out that day, and you have no answer, because your routine is always "I just, uh, do the... weights." You're terrified that, if you give a more specific answer like "Arms," they'll say "Well then why the hell are you doing a chest exercise," because absolutely everyone at the gym knows more about gymming than you do.

The Skyhawks added some Front Range flavor to the lacrosse program as part of their early signing recruiting class.
Mountain Vista High School�s Marisa Mills and Castle View�s Brieonna Walker signed national letters of intent during the NCAA�s early signing period, alongside Oregon�s Megan Longtain and California�s Shea Wales. All four will graduate this spring.
From Highlands Ranch, the 5-7 Mills has six years of lacrosse experience, in addition to playing volleyball for Mountain Vista.
�Marisa will be a great addition to our squad next year,� FLC�s third-year head lacrosse coach Kelsey MacDonald said in a news release to The Durango Herald. �She is a solid midfield and reads the field well both on attack and on defense.�
From Castle Rock, Walker will do her part in the goal.
A 5-8 goalkeeper, she�ll be a four-year starter for Castle View, also earning an All-Continental League honorable mention as a junior.
�She is a solid goalie who is dedicated to always improving and great work ethic. All of her coaches have nothing but positive comments about Brie�s leadership both on and off the field,� MacDonald said.
Longtain, from West Linn, Ore., is a 5-7 midfielder/defender, and also will be a four-year prep starter in addition to playing basketball, where she helped her high school to a fifth-place finish in the state tournament as a junior.
In lacrosse, she earned honorable mention in all-league accolades last season while helping her team to a runner-up finish at the Oregon state championships.
As a sophomore and a junior, she ranked among the top five in her conference in assists, draw controls and groundballs.
Wales, from Oakland, Calif., is a 5-5 midfielder/defender. She�s started the last two years at center, attack and defensive wing. She first picked up a lacrosse stick as a freshman.
�Shea is an excellent athlete who has a great field sense from also playing competitive soccer in high school,� MacDonald said. �She is a hard worker.�
The Skyhawks will open their 2013 season Feb. 22 against Colorado Mesa at Grand Junction after finishing the 2012 season 7-8, 4-4 in the Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association.

quote: I know several people who are waiting for Windows Phone 8 (interestingly, at least one is planning to switch from an iPhone to WP8)... merely anecdotal, but if my friends (some of whom aren't overly "techie") are any indication I'd say Nokia could see some nice gains with Windows 8.
quote: Interesting. Thus if you have two friends, then 50% is switching from iOS and 50% is switching from Android. If you have 100 friends then 1% is switching from iOS and 99% are switching from Android. Either way, it looks like your other non iOS favorite platform is going to take the biggest hit if your possible future is true.

North Korea launched 3 "illegal test" missiles today (as the government of the country has made a regular habit of in the past months/years),
one of which was a new long-range missile actually capable of reaching the U.S. (It malfunctioned during testing). All 3 landed in the Sea of Japan.
North Korea has been warned by the U.N. and also warned by several countries independently, and has scoffed at U.N. sanctions and shown open hostility and issued threats towards many other countries.
I personally think something needs to be done in the near future to remove this

The Chevy Volt is a decent enough looking car, and it really does have quite a nice interior. But if you're anything like me, you probably look at the Opel Ampera (pictured) and feel like we in North America got the short end of the design stick. The cars are mechanically identical, but the Chevy design is far more restrained, and doesn't really stir the soul. Fisker has shown us that a plug-in hybrid can confidently wear a bold and sporty exterior design, and it seems that the guys at Chevrolet are now wishing they had pushed the Volt a bit further.
In a conversation with Autoblog Green, Chevrolet's Director of Exterior Design, John Cafaro, revealed that Chevy's design department really liked what Opel had done to make the car look more aggressive. On the subject of the next generation of the Volt, he said "We're going to do some things with the Volt down the road, make it a little more monochromatic, a little more road-hugging." But even more importantly, the Volt's drivetrain will also find its way into other vehicles, with two different Cadillac concepts already appearing with Volt innards. That means there can be several different styling themes to play with, and without one model needing to be whole company's face for plug-in vehicles, the designs can be more daring.
Cafaro did say that "Ed Welburn is not going to let us do anything weird, I can tell you that," although what specifically they will be doing is still up in the air. At present, they are still in the brainstorming stage, and they are carefully watching what happens with competing plug-ins. The Volt is actually continuing to sell reasonably well for a plug-in, and they will have to be careful not to change too much and lose that edge. The technology is probably responsible for more Volt sales than the styling is, but it couldn't be a bad thing to have both working toward more sales.

Football's Austin Holtz Selected for All-Star Game
Austin Holtz, a senior offensive lineman on the 2012 Ball State football team, has been selected to compete in the Casino Del Sol College All-Star Game Jan. 11.
The game will be played at Kino Stadium in Tucson, Ariz., and will be broadcast on ESPN3 and WatchESPN.com.
This year's Casino Del Sol College All-Star Game provides a platform for selected, elite athletes to showcase their talents to scouts from the National Football League, Canadian Football League and Arena League teams.
Players will report to camp Jan. 6, practice the 8th through 10th and compete in the 7 p.m. kickoff Fri., Jan. 11.
Holtz, a 2012 All-Mid-American Conference First Team selection, started all 13 games for the Cardinals this season and 33 contests in his career. He anchored an offensive line that helped quarterback Keith Wenning throw for 3,003 yards and become only the second quarterback in Ball State history to throw for over 7,000 career yards. In addition, the offensive line blocked for Jahwan Edwards, who rushed for 1,410 yards, which was the third best single-season total in Ball State history.
Ball State's offensive line ranks eighth in the nation for fewest sacks allowed in the latest NCAA statistics. The Cardinals' offensive line allowed only 0.83 sacks per game in 2012.
The Cardinals managed a 9-4 overall record in 2012, which ended with an appearance in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl St. Petersburg. The nine wins tied for the third most victories in a single season in school history.
Last year's roster in the Casino Del Sol College All-Star Game produced six NFL draft picks, and an additional 61 players who were invited to NFL training camps.

MEXICO - Visitors at Island Grove Campground describe the annual meetings as a step back in time, but they have not been immune to change.
Founded in 1897 in Mexico, Juniata County, families have gathered at the campground for more than a century.
Now, they have electricity and air conditioned campers, movie nights and craft fairs; but they stick to the traditions upon which the camp was founded - Bible-based worship, teaching and fellowship.

Families gather for a photo during the 1910 Island Grove Camp Meeting in Mexico. The campground was founded in 1897, and summer meetings continue annually. This year, camp meetings will be held today through Friday.
"Our attendance is smaller than 100 years ago, but I attribute the fact that camp still exists is due to our love of God and His glorious Word," Kathryn Wisegarver, one of the organizers, said in a press release.
This year, the camp meeting is a little shorter. It runs today through Friday, Aug. 12. All evening services begin at 7:30 p.m.
The organizers switched from a 10-day to an eight-day event, after the meetings conflicted with early school openings in recent years, according to a press release from the organizers.
Tonight, Missions Night will feature Charles and Denise Weiand, who work with the Pima and Tarahumara Indians in Rio Chico, Chihuahua, Mexico. They have two daughters, Alyssa, 6, and Hannah, 2.
The Weiands are independent missionaries with the Mexican National Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. For three years, they have been providing relief work to the Indians, church development and opportunities for short-term missions teams to minister.
A first in Island Grove history, the Rev. Crystal Lyde of the Mexico and Port Royal Presbyterian churches will be the first female featured speaker for the week.
She comes from a long line of praying people who believe in the power of God through spoken and silent prayers, according to the press release.
Lyde spent 21 years in law enforcement. She began as a Harrisburg police officer and then a Pennsylvania State Trooper. She retired in 1999. God began to prepare her for the ministry; and as she prayed, studied her Bible and worshipped the Triune God, she learned to zealously submit herself to God's will. She was licensed as a minister in 2003 and ordained in 2005.
She will speak nightly Sunday to Friday. Her theme is "Revival, Restoration and Reconciliation."
Special music will be featured every evening. Tonight the Grace UMC Bell Choir from Lewistown will worship. Other musicians includes the Bunkertown Men's Chorus on Sunday, Ethan Fowler on bagpipes on Monday, the Brass Ensemble from the Lewistown area on Wednesday, the Juniata Valley Mixed Chorus on Thursday and Phil and Joan Loewen on Friday.
After every service, there will be a time of fellowship at the Mexico Hilton. Cottage holders will take turns serving ice cream, soda and nightly specials for a minimal charge.
On Sunday, a Fun Fair will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be crafts and games for children of all ages, including jewelry making, face painting, tossing games and free ice cream. The fair is open to everyone, not just campers.
Bible study will be held at 10 a.m. Monday to Friday in the Mexico Hilton, with Children's Service in the Tabernacle and Teen Time in the Norman Cottage.
The popular family movie show will continue this year on Wednesday. Popcorn will be provided.
The annual wiener roast will be held Thursday at the Mexico Hilton. Cottage holders will provide hot dogs, rolls, mountain pie ingredients and marshmallows.
On Friday, there will be a pot luck supper at 5 p.m. at the Mexico Hilton. Everyone may bring a covered dish to share, place settings and a drink.
"From a personal point of view, I grew up at Island Grove, and now my children and grandchildren are sharing the experience," Wisegarver said. "Life is so busy, and camp is a step back in time. The favorite past time is sitting on a cottage porch and visiting with one another.
"We're not idle. There is always something to do, but the main focus is the evening service. God is the heart of our camp."
They welcome anyone from the community to visit Island Grove during the camp meetings, Wisegarver said. These events are for everyone, not just campers, she said.
Any Christian church is invited to become a member of the campground by paying an initial fee of $25 and a $10 annual fee.
Camp sites are available for tents and campers. Sites with electric hookups are $10 per night, or without for $5. A special rate of $75 for electric hookups for eight to 10 nights is available.
To make a reservation or for more information, call or write to Paul Culbertson, superintendent of grounds, at (570) 374-0951 or PO Box 202, 413 N. Eighth St., Selinsgrove, PA 17870.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a K-9 stabbed by a man being arrested on fugitive warrants has died.
The 8-year-old police dog, named Rocco, was injured Tuesday night when police arrested 21-year-old John Lewis Rush. Rush was one of Allegheny County's most wanted fugitives because of warrants for probation violations and failing to register as a sex offender. Rocco died Thursday evening.
Police say Rush was arrested about 10:30 p.m., or about 40 minutes after he fought and got away from a sheriff's deputy.
Police apprehended Rush, but not before they say he stabbed the dog in the back. Two police officers also suffered leg and arm injuries.
