I've been playing Harvest Moon games for a good 6 or 7 years now, and my favorite one is More Friends of Mineral Town. The Wii versions suck in my honest opinion, but this is the only Harvest Moon forum I know of that has a mod and a GD. Therefore, this will be my HM home. Pleased to meet everyone

5,000th CDM Project will Produce 74,200MWh of Wind Energy in the Dominican Republic
15 November 2012: The Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has reached a new milestone with the registration of its 5,000th project. In total, the CDM has registered projects in 81 developing countries worldwide, including solar power projects that replace fossil fuels, and projects that substitute inefficient wood stoves and industrial projects that destroy greenhouse gases (GHG).
The 5,000th project is the grid-connected Los Cocos Wind Farm Project, which is registered in Perdernales province in the Dominican Republic. The project activity involves the installation and operation of 14 wind turbines expected to generate 74,200 MWh of electricity annually, displacing 54,183 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from electricity previously generated at fossil fuel fired power plants.
Christiana Figueres, UNFCCC Executive Secretary, said this project is "the latest in a long line of impressive achievements made by the CDM." She noted that the CDM has attracted over US$ 215 billion in investment in mitigation in less than ten years. Duan Maosheng, CDM Board Chair, called for participants at the upcoming UNFCCC meetings in Qatar to recognize "how far the CDM has come in terms of quality assurance and efficiency" and to further recognize the mechanism's continuing role in the international response to climate change. [CDM Press Release]

Chemical Waste
Generators of hazardous waste are required to comply with extensive and complex rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state and local regulatory agencies. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires a "cradle to grave" system of accounting for hazardous waste; the Department of Transportation requires compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations during transportation of hazardous waste; the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality licenses, inspects and regulates generators, haulers and disposal facilities handling hazardous waste.
The safety guidelines, regulations and procedures presented are intended to help generators comply with governmental rules and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. Strict compliance with these regulations ensures the waste is managed, transported, and disposed of safely and properly while reducing potential liability to the University.
- Use waste containers that are in good condition to ensure that your waste is safely contained while in your possession and during transport.
- Attach a completed University of Michigan "Hazardous Waste" label to your container. This helps emergency responders identify your waste containers quickly.
- For information about completing the "Hazardous Waste" label click here.
- Keep all containers closed except when adding waste to prevent accidental spills and evaporation.
- Ensure that your waste is not kept for longer than 60 days to ensure disposal in a timely manner.
- Please call your waste in for pick up within 60 days of your accumulation start date. This will ensure that the waste will be sent for disposal prior to the 90-day regulatory limit.
- Ensure that an accumulation start date is written on the waste label. That allows you to know exactly how much time you have before the waste must be sent off for disposal.
- Have waste labels visible for inspection to allow emergency responders to easily identify your wastes. It also allows you to keep better track of your wastes.
- Provide adequate secondary containment for waste containers so that if your container starts to leak, the spill can be limited from spreading and making the contamination problems larger.
- Identify all chemicals and document them on the waste label and manifest so that all of the waste constituents in your container can be identified. This helps the people handling and disposing of your waste know what hazards are involved. It also helps emergency responders know what steps to take if they have to respond to an incident involving your waste.
- Keep you containers kept in a secure location. Ensure they are protect from exposure to weather, vandalism and unauthorized access.

Isaac Bray ('09) | Music Education
Graduate student
The Boston Conservatory
ACU alum Isaac Bray dreams of becoming a professional opera singer who impacts his audience with every performance. With a full-tuition scholarship to The Boston Conservatory, he seems to be well on his way.
The music professors at ACU offered me so many years of wisdom, experience and devotion to their craft. These are people who have been out in the field and are still continuing to learn and contribute to the field of music while helping students learn what it takes to be a true musician.
Isaac's goal is to glorify God with each performance. "You will never know what people are going through or what little thing you might do that will inspire them, so you have to treat every performance - big or small - with equal care and importance," he says. "My hope at the end of a performance is to be completely empty and exhausted because I gave everything of myself to help inspire my audiences and show them the God that I represent."
Taking the lead
While at ACU, Isaac played lead roles in four years of opera. Now in Boston, he continues to land top roles as he pursues a master's degree in opera performance.
"I've been blessed to be offered a leading role in every opera production so far since I have started my graduate work," Isaac says. "We also had a 'scenes' program in the fall where we did excerpts from several operas, and I had lead in every scene."
Isaac credits ACU's music faculty with "how well they pushed me and prepared me for work at the next level."
"Most of my colleagues at the Boston Conservatory have never heard of ACU, but I have tried to show them the high quality of my education by the work I do every day," he says. "I have been chosen for more lead roles than other students, and I passed out of most of my remedial classes. I am able to actively contribute to discussions in my courses, and my musicianship is at the same level as everyone else's, if not a bit higher."
Though Isaac received a stellar music education at ACU, he says he gained much more.
Well-rounded experience
The biggest lesson I learned from the professors is the charge that "to whom much is given, much is expected." They never let me settle for less, and always challenged and pushed me with love and care."ACU offered me so many different opportunities that allowed me to grow as a complete, well-rounded person and a faithful Christian," he says.
"From professors opening their homes, to Spring Break Campaigns and other service events, to many different student groups that offered fun and exciting opportunities, I was able to grow as a full and complete person during my time at ACU."
As a student, Isaac was an officer of the Service Action Leadership Team, a Sing Song host and a member of the A Cappella Chorus, among other activities.
"ACU exposed me to many different worldviews and different views on a life of faith," Isaac says. "While some people may feel that ACU puts you in some kind of bubble, I had the opposite experience. I was truly able to decide who I was as a Christian and as a person because of the all of the different aspects of faith that were integrated into my education. The most important thing I learned from ACU was to maintain my identity in Christ and to be in the world as a Christian but not of the world."

Red-eared sliders are generally most active during the daytime, so they should be fed during this time. Many turtle owners stick to an every-other-day feeding schedule. Captive-bred turtles generally exist happily on commercial aquatic turtle foods. Some owners prefer to feed live foods or to supplement a packaged-food diet with some additional choices. Probably the most common live food offered is crickets. Crickets are fairly inexpensive, easy to keep without too much trouble, and an excellent meal choice for turtles. Other owners feed their turtles earthworms, mealworms, and raw fish.
In the wild, turtles are mainly herbivorous. In captivity, red-eared sliders will appreciate a few pieces of vegetable matter, in addition to their regular diet. These can include carrots, lettuce, cabbage, beets, cucumbers, and many other vegetable varieties.
How often you feed your turtle, what you feed him, and how much he gets at each feeding should depend, at least in part, on how old he is. In the wild, young turtle specimens will eat a variety of plants, insects, snails, and crayfish several times a day, while older turtles rarely eat anything other than soft, aquatic vegetation and tend to eat much less often. Observe your turtle carefully to make sure you feed him as much food as he requires to stay healthy but not enough to make him sick or overweight.

Where Chefs Eat
A Guide to Chef's favorite restaurants
This is the 2013 newbie in our cooking segment, a segment we once started because we noticed the hospitality world is increasingly understanding the visual taste of their product. So we figured "Where Chefs Eat" must be looking yummy! Guess what, not a single image in it. Just plain text, addresses and maps. Utterly boring, but well designed and well documented with nothing but the best addresses - from local favourites to high end and full of hidden treasures - from the best chefs in the world, this book is extremely useful for every food fanatic. Phaidon may be on track to become the Lonely Planet for gastronomy. For the next issue Phaidon should keep in mind that a softcover may be slightly more convenient when it comes to browsing a guide.

Can I bring a prescription from a non-VA doctor to a VA hospital and get it filled for free?
Also, do veterans get 2 years of free medical or 5 years?
|New Member
Oh, I just found the answer to my own question. It's no, by the way.
Sorry for asking the question before doing a search. I just didn't think it would be an easy answer to find.
My Dad had open heart surgery at a non-va hospital and we got his medication through his VA Dr. It is not free he still had to pay his co-pay but it can be done.
The VA Pharmacy will not fill an Rx from outside, but a VA doctor can prescribe the same medication to you and then they will fill it. B aware the VA has a strict formulary, and if the medication is not on the list, the VA doctor will prescribe the closest alternative.
If these folks are retired they should be able to use Express Scripts for most of their pharmaceutical needs. Are they eligible for this service or does the VA prohibit access?
Express Scripts is not a VA program. It it is available for Tr-care then if they are retired from AD, they will be able to use the program. DOD and VA health care options co-exisit for those who have both.

Meet The Friendly Corporate Raiders
When Relational Investors buys in, the board often takes its advice without a fight
Ralph V. Whitworth and David H. Batchelder have two of the trickier jobs in the money-management world. They buy a chunk of an ailing company, say Mattel (MAT ) or J.C. Penney (JCP ) or Waste Management (WMI ), then politely tell the board it should be doing a much better job before prodding, cajoling, and twisting arms to get their way.
Sometimes doors get slammed in their faces. Sometimes a chief executive seethes with resentment. But usually the company comes around -- and Whitworth and Batchelder walk away with a huge gain on their shares. "Most of the time, management agrees that its stock is undervalued and knows what's causing it," Batchelder says. "It's just a question of the timing of the fix."
The two run San Diego-based Relational Investors, and their mentor, legendary corporate raider T. Boone Pickens Jr., would be proud of their results. In its eight-year history, the firm has racked up an average annual return of 21%, more than doubling the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. In that time, its assets -- the fund is open only to institutional investors -- have grown from $200 million to $3 billion.
Few firms have been able to pull off a similar strategy -- talking boards into making tough changes -- much less match Relational's record. Shareholder activists Nell Minow and Robert Monks sold their money-management business several years ago after finding it hard to generate market-beating returns when it can take years to show results from each company. "I tend to get impatient with people," says Minow. "Ralph and David are more consensus-builders."
The California Public Employees' Retirement System gave Relational its seed money but has had mixed results with its six other activist funds. CalPERS remains Relational's largest investor, putting in nearly $1 billion.
The Relational formula is surprisingly simple. Whitworth, Batchelder, and a staff of 12 analysts comb though databases for companies with a strong core business but a stock price that seems depressed. A closer look often shows a company plagued by management mistakes. Relational then buys a stake and presses for change in meetings with execs and board members.
Whitworth and Batchelder don't spread themselves too thin: Relational usually holds stakes in no more than 12 companies -- it figures that's enough works-in-progress to handle at a time. Right now it's invested in 11 companies.
Frequently, Whitworth's and Batchelder's prescription calls for ditching an underperforming unit. After winning a seat on Mattel Inc.'s board in early 2000, Whitworth persuaded management and his fellow board members to dump the company's money-losing computer-game business, Learning Co., less than a year after Mattel bought it for $3.5 billion. "That was strong medicine," recalls Mattel's chairman and CEO, Robert A. Eckert, who joined Mattel after the Learning Co. deal. "Ralph had done a lot of homework. After we did it, the stock went up."
In the past year, Relational has pushed retailer J.C. Penney Co. to sell its flagging Eckerd drugstore unit and National Semiconductor Corp. (NSM ) to shed some of its weak digital-chip businesses to focus on analog chips. Both companies took Relational's advice and their stocks soared, contributing to Relational's 2003 return of 48%. The fund was up 11.6% in the first half of this year, vs. 3.4% for the S&P 500.
Not all of the pair's forays have been successful. After Relational's 1997 investment in oil-and-gas producer Nuevo Energy Co. (NEV ), Whitworth and Batchelder got the company's chairman and CEO to step down, eliminating his expensive management contract. But Nuevo's reserves didn't prove as valuable as the pair had hoped, and Relational sold its shares six years later, taking a loss of over 70%. They vowed never to invest in a commodities-based business again.
In pursuit of their goals, Whitworth, 48, and Batchelder, 55, have never had to wage a proxy fight. Through their badgering -- and, no doubt, the threat of a fight -- they've gotten themselves on the boards of half a dozen companies, including giant ConAgra Foods Inc. (CAG ) and home health-care provider Apria Healthcare Group Inc.
Once on the board, Whitworth and Batchelder remain only long enough to get their changes implemented. "Ralph in the boardroom was a clear voice for shareholders," says A. Maurice Myers, chairman of trash hauler Waste Management Inc. (WMI ), where Whitworth helped replace the CEO and shift the company from acquiring businesses to managing better the ones it had. "His focus is always on the allocation of capital to its highest and best use."
Whitworth met Pickens while working as a U.S. Senate staffer in Washington in the early 1980s. That led to a job at Pickens' oil-and-gas firm, Mesa Petroleum. That's where Whitworth, a lawyer by training, first teamed up with Batchelder, an accountant. The two helped Pickens with many of his famous takeover battles in the mid-'80s, including his runs at Phillips Petroleum and Unocal (UCL ). After leaving Mesa, Batchelder and Whitworth each formed his own investment-advisory business before joining forces at Relational in 1996. Call them the kinder, gentler corporate raiders.

I grew up in Muskegon Heights, lived in Glenside and Norton Shores and graduated from Muskegon Catholic Central. We owned a business for many years on Whitehall Road. We own real estate in Norton Shores though we have lived in North Carolina since 1986.
Muskegon is always hometown. It has also faced great challenges. Economic of course, yet like many similar communities it does have strong, viable businesses.
Though some would say not enough.
MLive Muskegon Chronicle has focused on two issues that I believe are the greatest challenges, crime and housing blight. Both relevant to the other.
Looking at Muskegon and the crime and blight issues from afar, I do not believe any one community can adequately solve these issues. I suggest that all the communities band together to solve these collectively. While the outlying communities perhaps don't believe they have an interest in Muskegon or Muskegon Heights. They certainly do.
Home owners do not want to see the value of real property decline because of the inability to address crime and blight.
The latest series on MLive Muskegon Chronicle (Hooked on Muskegon) does a great job on presenting the positives of Muskegon. However, from my outside perspective, there also has to be positive action to remedy the negatives.
Such as: from Crain's Detroit Business: "to make sure we tear the houses down as quickly as possible." http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20140105/NEWS/301059952/key-goal-remove-blighted-properties
As well as a local community issue, the Muskegon challenge (crime and blight) needs to be a complete investment by government, business and civic organizations. By banding together, a far greater postive impact can be realized.
Thank you for letting me voice my thoughts on the Muskegon potential that has always existed but never fully realized.
JIM BAKER/ Cary, N.C.

Honor killings are on the rise in Iraq -- when families kill their women for violations of Islamic law.
London's Independent newspaper reports in the town of Basra alone, at least 15 women a month are murdered for breaching Muslim dress codes.
Beheadings, rapes, beatings and marriages of girls as young as nine are also on the rise.
One desperate father whose daughter was killed for falling in love with someone outside her tribe said, "I couldn't protect her because I got threats from my brother and the whole tribe.
"They insisted they were gong to kill us all. I want those who committed this act to be punished but so far they have not. They are free."

Rolf Johann Stommelen[1] (11 July 1943 – 24 April 1983) was a racing driver from Siegen, Germany. He participated in 63 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, achieving one podium, and scored a total of 14 championship points. He also participated in several non-Championship Formula One races.
One of the best endurance sports car racing drivers of the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s, Stommelen won the 24 Hours of Daytona 4 times; in 1968, 1978, 1980 and 1982 and the Targa Florio in 1967 in a Porsche 910.
Stommelen won the pole position for the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Porsche 917 a year after finishing third in a Porsche 908. In this year, he became the first man to reach speeds exceeding 350 km/h (217 mph) on the Mulsanne Straight in his Porsche 917 LH. In 1970, he made his Formula One debut with Brabham with sponsorship obtained from the German magazine Auto, Motor und Sport and raced both sportscars (Toj and Porsche works teams) and Formula 1 throughout the 1970s.
Unfortunately, he would play a role in the end of the Spanish Grand Prix's tenure at Montjuich Park in Barcelona when he crashed there in the 1975 race after the rear wing of his Hill-GH1 broke, resulting in the deaths of four spectators and him being seriously injured.
After his recovery, Stommelen returned to sports car racing, winning races for Alfa Romeo and also winning the 24 Hours of Daytona a further three times.
In 1976 Stommelen had the honour to drive the maiden race of the Porsche 936 at the 300 km Nürburgring race. With a black body and without the air-intake, the 936 of this race became known as the black widow. He qualified second, between the factory Renault Alpine A442 of Patrick Depailler and Jean-Pierre Jabouille in first and third. The Renault team was eager to win at Porsche's home soil. On race-day in heavy rain, Stommelen managed to overtake the Renault in front right after the start. Now in the lead, he rushed towards the Nordkehre, braked and let deliberately room for the Renaults in pursuit to overtake. The Renaults, wanting to take back the lead after 2 of 300 km, rushed past Stommelen into the water puddles and crashed into the catch-fences in tandem, with Stommelen taking back the lead again. This led to the saying "On the Nordschleife, you can never brake later than Rolf Stommelen!". After the sixth lap, the throttle cable of the 936 stuck in the "open" position. But instead of giving up, Stommelen continued the race by turning off the master switch at the bends to brake, and turning on the master switch again after the bends to accelerate throughout the rest of the race, taking second place at the end of the race.[2]
In 1978 he was given the task by the Porsche factory to drive the Porsche 935 "Moby Dick" in Martini Colors. The 78 "Moby Dick" had a 3.2-litre Turbo Engine that produced 845 HP and Stommelen was, with 235 mph, (365 km/h) the fastest man on the Mulsanne Straight, faster than the prototypes like the Porsche 936 and the A442B which won the race. Due to high fuel-consumption of the engine, Stommelen had to pit too often to battle for the win.[3]
He continued at Le Mans with the Porsche 935, nearly winning the 24 hours of Le Mans with Dick Barbour and actor Paul Newman as co-drivers in 1979 in a Porsche 935, only to be set back by a 23-minute-long pit stop caused by a stuck wheel nut. The team would not have come so far, if Stommelen had not been constantly 25 seconds faster than his team mates per lap.
He also drove Toj SC320 prototype sportscars with some success against the works Alfa team (Toj was a small German manufacturer).[4]
He also competed in one NASCAR Grand National series event in 1971 at Talladega Superspeedway in a former Holman-Moody Ford which Mario Andretti used to win the 1967 Daytona 500, which was rebuilt as a Mercury Cyclone, with Jake Elder as crew chief. That car eventually was sold to independent driver Darrell Waltrip to use a year later in his Winston Cup Series debut in 1972, starting a career which led to Waltrip's International Motorsports Hall of Fame induction in April 2005.
He was also active in the German GT Championship Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, winning the championship in 1977 for the Gelo Racing Team in a Porsche 935. A master at the Nürburgring, he was a constant winner of races held there.
In the 1980s he was still a sought after prototype pilot and raced successful on Kremer CK5, Lancia LC1 and Porsche 956.
Stommelen was killed in a crash during an IMSA Camel GT event at Riverside International Raceway on 24 April 1983. He was running a John Fitzpatrick entered Porsche 935 with codriver Derek Bell. Stommelen had just taken over the car from Bell and was running in second place when the rear wing broke due to mechanical failure at 190 mph. The car became uncontrollable, slammed against a concrete wall, somersaulted and caught fire. Stommelen died of head injuries.[5]

Birds by name
Conservation status: Amber
The mute swan is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck, and an orange bill with black at the base of it. Flies with its neck extended and regular slow wingbeats. The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move short distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe into eastern England.
Cygnus olor
Swans, ducks and geese (Anatidae)
Breeds across most of the UK, other than in northern Scotland, mid-Wales and the moors of south-west England. Possible to see anywhere there is a shallow lake, or a slow-flowing rivers, even in urban areas and parks.
All year round
Water plants, insects and snails.
* UK breeding is the number of pairs breeding annually. UK wintering is the number of individuals present from October to March. UK passage is the number of individuals passing through on migration in spring and/or autumn.

Week 15 brings with it plenty of drama and intrigue in the National Football League, but there may be no more exciting game than the battle in Big D, where the 7-6 Dallas Cowboys host the 7-6 Pittsburgh Steelers in a game between traditional NFL powers both fighting for their playoff lives.
The Cowboys ride into the game with a bit of positive momentum after downing the Cincinnati Bengals last week, but given their recent history in December, oddsmakers have instilled the Cowboys as home underdogs.
If Dallas is going to "upset" the Steelers, then here are a handful of areas where the Cowboys need to excel.

As a freshman, Auburn's Tre Mason made his name as a kick returner.
He led the SEC a year ago in kickoff returns and averaged 26.4 yards per return. He took one back 97 yards for a touchdown against Utah State.
It was during the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Virginia last season that Mason got his most work as a running back. Filling in for the suspended Michael Dyer, Mason rushed for 64 yards on nine carries and scored on a 22-yard touchdown run.
Despite Auburn's struggles on offense this season, the 5 foot 10, 196-pound Mason has blossomed into the Tigers' go-to back. He's been one of the few bright spots on an Auburn offense that ranks 13thin the SEC in both total offense and scoring offense.
Mason has rushed for 706 yards on 127 carries and is averaging 5.6 yards per carry. He's coming off a career-best 152-yard performance last week in the 42-7 win over New Mexico State.
We had a chance to catch up with Mason earlier this week for a Q&A:
You're starting to get more carries now -- 50 in your last three games. Are you hitting your stride as a running back?
Tre Mason: I just love the ball in my hands. I want to be the one to make plays for my team and to be productive any time they call on me.
A few weeks ago, you called for the ball more, particularly in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. How did that play with your coaches and teammates?
TM: I just want to be the guy they can trust to make plays when we have to have them. I want the ball in those situations, not because of anything for selfish reasons, but because I think I can help my team win. However many times I get it, I'm just going to keep pushing and keep doing my part to help this team finish out the season strong.
How hard has it been to focus with all the rumblings about Gene Chizik's job security and the struggles this team has endured this season?
TM: What I've tried to do is lock in on what's important and get in the film room. You can't be distracted by outside talk. The most important thing is that we stay together, stay motivated and keep believing.
Even though you're a sophomore, do you see yourself as one of the leaders on this team?
TM: I just try to do my job and feel like everybody will follow. There are a lot of guys on this team with big hearts, and we're going to make sure that everybody stays motivated and stays focused.
After five straight losses, what did the New Mexico State win do for this team heading into the Georgia game?
TM: We needed some momentum going into this game. That's the biggest thing. When you keep losing, it rubs off. Winning is contagious. You want that feeling over and over again, and I think that will play a significant role this week. We want to keep that feeling.
What does freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace bring to the offense?
TM: He provides another running threat. Teams have to respect his legs, and that opens up things for other players. He's been a leader for us even though he's a freshman, and he's great in the huddle. He's a team guy and is just going to continue making plays.
How hard has this season been on everybody?
TM: I just know everybody is still fighting. It's tough to know that a bowl game is out of reach, but there are other things to play for. We're playing for each other, our families. No one is going to quit. We're all in.
Is there enough talent on this team that it should be winning?
TM: I feel like we're very talented and have as much talent as you need to win in this league. It could be a lot different season if we'd won some of the close games and not made as many mistakes, but we definitely have the talent.
What would be your message to the fans?
TM: That we're going through some growing pains and still developing with a new scheme on offense and new coaches on offense and defense. I'd tell everybody to stick in there with us. We're going to get more comfortable with everything, and we're going to continue to ball.
Is it possible for the players to block out all the negativity out there right now surrounding the program?
TM: I know a lot of people pay attention to the outside talk. I don't pay attention to it because all it's going to do is bring you down. I've never let what people say bring me down. I keep my mom in my heart, my dad in my heart, all the struggles we've gone through as a family in my heart, and I just keep pushing and keep playing hard. That's all you can do.

July | August 2006 | Applied Biosystems (ABI) has completed the acquisition of Massachusetts-based genetic analysis company Agencourt Personal Genomics (APG) for $120 million and hopes to bring the company's novel next-generation sequencing technology to market next year.
Impressively named the Supported Oligo Ligation Detection (SOLiD) process for massively parallel sequencing by stepwise ligation, the technology is an extremely high-throughput approach to DNA/RNA analysis. Applications include de novo genome sequencing, medical sequencing, gene expression, and high-throughput genotyping.
ABI president Catherine Burzik says: "After conducting a thorough evaluation of more than 40 companies and academic research groups, we have concluded that APG's technology is both tested and commercial. We believe it should be able to address the scientific community's goal of dramatically reducing the cost of sequencing without sacrificing quality."
Competition to establish next-generation sequencing technology is heating up as companies such as Solexa challenge ABI's two-decade dominance. Solexa recently began its first commercial shipments of its Genome Analysis System. "Solexa's technology is bringing genome sequencing to a new stage of development," says Eric Lander, director of the Broad Institute, which was one of the early-access beneficiaries. "Solexa's system promises to address economically and rapidly a broad range of genetic analysis applications, and we are excited to capitalize on that potential."
SOLiD GroundABI senior director for market development and strategic alliances, Andy Watson, said during a visit to Australia that the technology was capable of producing "two orders of magnitude more data than any other instrument on the market," while dramatically reducing the cost. "That changes the way the science can be done. It lets new applications become feasible, and it simplifies a lot of the hands-on work."
Watson said some aspects of the technology were novel, while others were improvements on regular fluorescence detectors with microscopes. "One of the novel aspects is the chemistry, the way the sequence gets read-out," he said. "Other chemistries up until now have been based on extending the DNA base by base and reading them out. This chemistry allows every fifth base of the DNA to be read out and this is quite a novel approach."
The APG technology combines single-tube microbead sample preparation with high-throughput multicolor fluorescence imaging. The sequencing uses ligation probes, an approach that the company said would provide very high-quality data compared to competitive polymerase-based approaches. APG's process allows readings of millions of DNA fragments, unlike the Sanger method, which reads just one. This is the "massively parallel" part.
"The current electrophoresis technology will give you 96 samples in about 30 minutes, whereas this technology will give you a read-out of about a hundred million individual data points in the space of a few days," Watson said. "That's not to say that the electrophoresis technology is going to be replaced by this because there are other attributes that are not as good. The read length, for example, is much less with this."
Watson pointed to cancer biology as one particularly promising application. "This technology is unique in its ability to start looking at what changes are happening in small numbers of cells in a large regular tumor. The health implication there is pretty significant in that the tumors are known to grow and metastasize based not on what the bulk of the tumor looks like but on how these little parts do."
CE Not ForgottenWhile ABI is excited about the potential of the Agencourt technology, it is not abandoning its mainstay — capillary electrophoresis (CE). ABI's senior manager for genetic analysis systems, Carla Wike, says: "Capillary electrophoresis will be around for many years, and we'll continue to add more applications. Our strategy is to simplify the workflow and expand the range of applications."
Wike is currently developing an integrated sample preparation system, or black box, for the company's CE systems and hopes to include up to five steps in the sample prep process within one box. Although still in its conceptual phase, the aim is to automate and miniaturize upfront sample preparation for CE. "It's not going to be an expensive piece of equipment, and we expect to target labs that need automation but want to continue using existing CE equipment," she says.

Camden Catholic is a High School located in Cherry Hill, NJ commonly looked down on simply because of its name. At Camden Catholic you know you're a step above the kids from Paul VI and regardless of your financial status you're ten times better than the students of Bishop Eustace. If you go to CCHS you're probably an alcoholic and/or will be one in the future. If your parents expected you to go to Eustace or PVI tell them to get over - our sports teams are much better. You can get the same education at CCHS as Bishop Eustace. When colleges see "Camden Catholic" written on a transcript they think "phenominal sports teams, wonderful kids" and then they see "Bishop Eustace" and their first thoughts "hey look! it's another kid attempting to get into a college out of their reach! oh those spoiled 'rich' kids!" If you want to attend CCHS, learn some chants. If you're a hater.. fuck you.

What is in this article?:
- Scott Monfort is new peanut specialist in South Carolina
- Precision agriculture in peanuts
- Large acreage increase
• Scott Monfort, housed at Clemson University's Edisto Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Blackville, S.C., is replacing long-time Peanut Specialist Jay Chapin.
SCOTT MONFORT, new peanut specialist in South Carolina will bring a wealth of information in precision agriculture to the job.
Precision agriculture in peanuts
"I hope we can move more into precision agriculture in peanuts. I'm interested in looking at the agronomic practices our growers are currently using and trying to come with some new ways to enhance some of things growers are already doing," he says.
Peanuts are likely to reach record prices in 2012, and the new South Carolina peanut specialist says it will be critical to be more efficient and manage problems that occur during the growing season in an efficient way, without over-spending.
"If we can make a good crop, year in and year out, we can achieve sustainability for peanuts in South Carolina. A small percentage of South Carolina peanuts are irrigated and drought management is a constant concern. We have to work with Mother Nature to achieve this sustainability," Monfort says.
"South Carolina peanut farmers already do a great job with GPS guided planting, spraying and digging, and there may be some ways to fine-tune those practices. We could also look at using some of the new precision technology to likewise fine-tune pesticide application," he adds.
"In situations in which we have nematode problems, we have proven we can improve yields and maximize the efficient use of chemicals used to manage nematodes in other crops.
"Even with some soilborne diseases, especially seedling-type diseases, we can potentially do some variable rate applications at or immediately after planting of fungicides.
"The sky is the limit with precision agriculture, but it has to make money for the grower. There are plenty of things we could do with technology to make production practices work, but many of them simply aren't practical for farmers," Monfort says.
The growth of the peanut industry in South Carolina is an agriculture industry success story that came at a critical time when the state was badly in need of economic successes.

Flanked by his sisters, Ashley Zapata, Stephanie Villalobos and Monica Murguia, and his mother, Maria Zapata, Gonzalo Zapata issued a statement about the trial to the media Wednesday. The family did not answer questions.
The statement:
"Angie was my sister.
"She was a member of our family. We loved her very much, and we will miss her every day. Every day and every night our mom has to deal with great pain of ... one of her babies being buried. Every day our siblings and I reach for the phone and realize we'll never hear her voice. There's no answer anymore.
"A part of our family is missing, stolen from us. Angie was 18, her life was just beginning. She was brave, she had guts, she had courage, and she was beautiful, fun and loving. She was our little sister.
"Through the last week, we've watched as our sister Angie was lied about in court, angrily as the defense presented an image of my sister that wasn't true. Their strategy of tearing down my sister to make a monster look better will not work.
"It is clear: Angie was our sister, an aunt and a daughter. Life was sometimes difficult for her, and we learned along with her to understand she was born a girl with a body that was wrong for her.
"Above all else, she was honest. It took such courage to be who she was. She was strong, there was no reason to believe my sister was anything but strong and honest with everyone.
"This week, we are deeply saddened as we witnessed graphic details about the last few minutes of my sister's life. A big brother is supposed to protect his little sister. It breaks my heart to think there was nothing I could do.
"My sisters, Monica and Ashley, when they saw what this monster had done, they wanted to hold her, to comfort her and make her feel better. It was hard to realize nothing could have been done.
"He stole something so precious from us.
"Only a monster can look at a beautiful 18-year-old and beat her to death. This monster not only hit my sister, but continued to beat her head in over and over and over until her head was crushed in. He left her there to die.
"He'll (never) understand how angry we are at him and how much he has hurt us. This past week and half, we've seen attorneys working their hardest to seek justice for my sister. ...
"We are grateful Colorado has tough laws that make it clear that attacking people because of anti-gender bias will be taken seriously. It will be prosecuted aggressively ... in Weld County.
"In memory of Angie, we call on Colorado's leaders to pass a federal hate crime law to protect everyone.
"Justice was achieved. A message was sent loud and clear that crimes target ing LGBT will not be tolerated in Colorado ...
"Remember her as we do, as a beautiful, wonderful, precious teenager. She would want us to remember the happy times in her life. And make the world a better place.
"We will always love you Angie and we will always miss you, mija.
"Thank you!"

The purpose of the Midtown Project, as it was conceived and initiated by Dr. Thomas A. C. Rennie in the early 1950's, was to ". . . investigate the relationship between mental disorder and the sociocultural environment."
Mental Health in the Metropolis, the first volume of this Project, described the relationship of mental disorder to eight demographic factors, such as age, sex, and socioeconomic status. The major finding presented in the first volume was that socioeconomic status had a closer association to psychiatric impairment than any other demographic variable studied. In Life Stress and Mental Health, the second volume of the Project, authors, Langner and Michael, competently undertake the task of delineating some of those familial and community factors, assessed by them to be independent of socioeconomic status, which are associated with psychiatric impairment. This volume represents a major addition to the growing literature on social and community psychiatry. It underscores an

CHOICES to be filming in Crowley
Filming began Saturday night for the third installment of the movie CHOICES. The movie is a realistic portrayal of the dangers of drinking and distracted driving.
This is the first year the movie is being shot in Crowley.
The movie's coordinator, Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office's Maxine Trahan, spoke with the Post-Signal Tuesday during an interview at the Rayne Police Department.
"We shot our party scene at the home of Howard and Tina Derouen in Rayne," she said. "The filming lasted from 3 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. on Saturday. The kids had a lot of fun."
Trahan discussed how this will be the first time CHOICES has been filmed at night.
"We've never done that before," she said. "But many of the accidents we respond to are at night so this is just another way of showing things as they actually happen."
There are also many other aspects of this year's version of CHOICES that will be portrayed for the first time.
"This year we will be focusing more on the civil aspect of things," said Trahan. "When we had a parent who was sentenced to only six months last year for providing minors with alcohol (prior to a fatal accident), people were asking why did they only get six months.
"Police don't make the laws or the sentences. We enforce them. We will depict how the choices the parents made will haunt them for a long time after any jail sentence."
This will also be the first time that CHOICES has chosen a speaker (who discusses a real life tragic accident)who has been responsible for causing an accident.
According to Trahan, he will describe how his actions have caused grief and harm to those he affected. During the prior two films, the speaker has been a victim.
There are 75 Acadia Parish high school students who are involved in this year's movie. As has been the case the first two years, the students are given various roles from playing victims to being the driver who causes the tragic accident. The students will be spending Tuesday and Wednesday night at the Best Western Hotel in Rayne.
A portion of Mill Street (near Miller Field) will be shut down Tuesday night while the movie is being filmed. Crowley Chief of Police K.P. Gibson stated that it would only affect about a quarter to a half mile of the road.
The actual filming is not open to the general public, according to Trahan.

The former Delaware County senior district judge emptied his pockets, put his hands behind his back as instructed, and looked down as sheriff's deputies put on the handcuffs Tuesday.
Gerald Liberace had just learned he would be spending the next six months in jail for molesting the 12-year-old daughter of a friend six years ago. He had been found guilty in January of endangering the welfare of a child and of corruption of a minor.
Liberace, 69, of Haverford, stared at his victim as his attorney, Mark Much, appealed to the judge to have him set free on bail pending an appeal.

This number, date is a whole year since i thought of making the move to california and following through with my dream. The craziest thing about turning 21 is all the freedom you get that could easily be taken away with one stupid move. The thing about being 21 and making your dreams into a reality are kinda nuts, others may doubt you for what you want to do in life but that should not stop you for making the decisions thats going to change your life. Theres 21 year olds with families, working at jobs they didn't intend on working at, going to college and figuring out this is not what i wanted to do. You are young once live it while you can. – S.M

ROCKVILLE, Md. — Police say Mark Canty has admitted it all.
They say Canty, last of three suspects jailed in the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Lauretha Vaird, has described his role in the slaying to homicide detectives in a statement that filled 14 pages.
``He admitted to everything,'' one detective said.
In addition to the Jan. 2 bank holdup that ended with Vaird's death, investigators say they believe that Canty helped rob at least one other bank. It was a big score - worth about $160,000 - on Stenton Avenue in October, senior police investigators said yesterday.

DOR is a military term that means Date of Rank. The Date of Rank is defined as the day that promotion is effective. That date is usually prior to the date of promotion sometimes by days, weeks, and years depending on the requirements of the promotion authority. The date of rank is used to establish precedence for promotion to the next higher rank and to establish seniority among individuals of the same rank.

As I sit down to write this column, the local news is reporting that USC and Clemson have both finished in the top ten in college football postseason rankings for the first time ever.
It's another feather in the caps of two teams who made the Palmetto State proud earlier this month by defeating formidable opponents to win bowl games. On New Year's Day, the Gamecocks beat the Wisconsin Badgers 34-24 in the Capital One Bowl. A couple of days later, the Tigers defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes by a score of 40-35 in the Orange Bowl.
This is a special moment for South Carolina. Our state shines on the national stage, and these two teams have put us on the college football map.
Personally, I'm a huge USC fan, having earned two master's degrees from the school following my service in the Navy. Like many Gamecocks, I'm quite familiar with the phrase "wait 'til next year," which many people used to joke was the Gamecocks' unofficial slogan.
It took a number of years, but "next year" finally came. Over the last three seasons, the Gamecocks have won three bowl games. (To put it in perspective, USC had only three bowl wins over the previous 97 years.) In addition, the Gamecocks have had 11-2 records in each of the last three seasons. (Previously, the school's season record had been 10 victories in 1984.)
They've also won their last 18 home games, the longest consecutive streak in the country.
And on Tuesday, Jan. 7, we learned that the Gamecocks are ranked Number 4 in the country - the highest postseason ranking in school history.
Clemson, too, has risen to prominence. Until last year, when they were ranked Number 9, the Tigers hadn't finished in the Top 10 since 1990. They were Number 8 in this year's postseason rankings. And Clemson has had three straight seasons of at least 10 victories, with records of 10-4 (2011) and 11-2 (2012 and 2013).
As we celebrate the success of our student-athletes, I can't help but think about what it means for our state in the larger picture.
Every sports fan loves to see his or her team succeed. But sports aside, these teams' accomplishments are especially important in a state which has tremendous challenges to overcome.
For too long, South Carolina has languished in many areas. Our education system is in need of improvement. The tax burden is too high, and our system of government is outdated, inefficient and in need of reform. Our politicians bicker when they should be searching for common ground, and there's a politics-as-usual mindset that keeps our state from moving forward. Although we're making tremendous progress on economic development, too many are without work.
For a state facing such obstacles, perhaps the real value in our football teams' achievements can be found in the example they set. With determination and a winning spirit, both attained success which had eluded them, reminding us that real improvement is possible if we put our collective minds to it.
Perhaps they can inspire us all – as individuals and as a state – to think about what's possible, and to continually strive to better ourselves and reach our full potential.

Police are looking for a man who started a fire inside the 24-hour Walmart store early Monday morning in Fairfield.
Police and fire crews responded to the store at 2701 N. Texas St. at 3:25 a.m., after citizens reported a fire and explosions, Sgt. Troy Oviatt said.
The building was evacuated, and it was determined a fire burned through a wicker basket and caused several carbon dioxide containers to rupture, Oviatt said.
No one was injured in the evacuation or explosion, Oviatt said.
Police released a video of the suspect who appears to be a light-skinned young man or teen that is responsible for setting the fire, Oviatt said.

HONOLULU - More than a dozen Maui County youths are learning how to become anti-tobacco activists at the ongoing The Real Experience V Anti-Tobacco Youth Summit at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The three-day summit that began Tuesday is sponsored by REAL: Hawaii Youth Movement Against the Tobacco Industry. More than 60 youths from around the state are at the summit, whose goal is to teach participants anti-tobacco activism skills through workshops called "expression sessions," which are interactive seminars focused on helping the youths use self-expression in their activism.
REAL has invited experts, such as keynote speaker Andrea Quijada of the New Mexico Media Literacy Project, to show the youths how they can share their views about tobacco by using grass-roots marketing, video production, art, music, dance, poetry and acting.
"Expression sessions are an awesome way to learn counter marketing techniques so that teens can fight back against the tobacco industry in our own communities," said Alex Halley, Maui REAL member.
On Thursday, the youths will put their activism skills to the test by staging a "flashmob freeze" on the sidewalks of Waikiki. They will stop in their tracks at a designated and allotted amount of time to draw attention to themselves.
After the freeze, they will distribute informational cards with a message asking individuals to "take a minute to get to know the tobacco industry."
Other organizations sponsoring The Real Experience V Anti-Tobacco Youth Summit include the state Department of Health's Tobacco Education and Prevention Program, Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii and Teen Line Hawaii.
REAL Hawaii has about 3,000 members standing up to the tobacco industry's deceptive marketing practices aimed at youth, a news release said. REAL sponsors events, conducts street marketing and has created the REAL brand to counter the influence of tobacco advertising.
REAL is coordinated through the Cancer Research Center, UH-Manoa, and funded by the Master Tobacco Settlement Trust Fund through the state Department of Health.
For more information on the summit event, see Web site www.therealmessage.net.

By Mr. James Brabenec (IMCOM)October 11, 2012
FORT SILL, Okla.-- Fort Sill's Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Prevention office (SHARP) opened its doors Oct. 1 in Building 4700, Room 459, giving Soldiers and their family members another location to find help.
The office also has a 24-hour hotline, manned by trained personnel at (580) 917-4277.
"Doing SHARP the way we are now puts the responsibility of taking care of Soldiers, on Soldiers and commanders specifically," said Master Sgt. Wendell Huddleston, SHARP program manager. "I think it's going to be a good thing."
Huddleston relies on his two fully training NCOs, Staff Sgt. Nicole Grigler and Sgt. 1st Class Edward Emerling, installation victim advocate (VA) and sexual assault response coordinator (SARC) respectively, to meet the needs of those they serve.
The Army defines sexual assault as any physical contact of a sexual nature characterized by the use of force and done without consent. Harassment, including verbal or nonverbal cues, is saying something of a sexual nature or a form of discrimination and may include the harasser demanding favors.
Any actions taken by the office staff are determined by victim preference. Army regulations state the SHARP program advocates for victims of adult sexual assaults inflicted by someone other than a spouse or intimate partner. Though the program's focus is on Soldiers and their families, Emerling said the SHARP staff will assist any victim to find the proper advocacy services.
Regulations require family advocacy to handle cases involving children or domestic abuse however, SHARP trained FAP personnel may advocate for any sexual assault victim when the victim or command requests their assistance. These services are limited to victim response and do not include the full spectrum of SHARP program services offered by SHARP personnel.
SHARP personnel have been preparing for their opening over the past year getting their procedures in place and sending Soldiers to an 80-hour training course to become victim advocates and SARCs.
To be an advocate, the course includes a background check and verification the candidate isn't listed on the national sex offender registry. They must also be appointed in orders by their unit commander. The Fort Sill staff added an additional step - a certification program specific to the post. Emerling said this training acquaints VAs with all the resources, their locations, personnel and contact numbers available on Fort Sill. Also, staff members will take VA candidates to a courtroom where a prosecutor will explain what a victim can expect during the legal process so advocates can explain that.
Grigler highlighted some of the assistance staff members can provide victims.
"We offer services such as medical treatment or to be seen in the emergency room for acute care. We also offer a sexual assault forensic exam if the victim chooses that, counseling services, and should the victim want to press charges or go the legal route, we'll stay with him or her throughout the duration and represent the victim," she said.
Emerling said whatever the victim wants is the service they will provide.
"We're not here to make suggestions, just to advocate for victims and get them what they want," he said. "We will explain the options to the victim so he or she can decide which course to take."
Those options are either a restricted or unrestricted incident report.
Through the restricted report, the victim can get medical attention, get a forensic exam done and pursue counseling options. Because the report is restrictive, an investigation won't be started and the chain of command won't be informed. Also, it ensures everything told to an advocate, nurse, chaplain or counselor is done in confidence.
"We get the victim what he or she needs while respecting his or her right to privacy," said Emerling.
People who elect this course may later change to an unrestrictive report that will initiate an official investigation into the crime and notification of the chain of command. This report still protects victims' privacy, because release of incident details is limited to only those personnel who have a legitimate need to know.
Coming from her primary MOS in supply, Grigler has served as a victim advocate. Although she stated her first duty as an NCO is to take care of Soldiers, her reasons for serving in this capacity have a deeper meaning to her.
"I'm very caring by nature and almost protective. You see people at their worst, but getting them the help they need and what they want is very rewarding. Just making sure the victim is taken care of and his or her needs, that we can provide, are being met is why I do this," she said.
The SHARP staff continues to train up people at all levels. Requirements call for brigades to have a full-time SARC and VA while battalions must have two additional duty VAs. Forces Command units are required to have battery level advocates, and though Training and Doctrine Command doesn't have a requirement, commanders may elect to appoint someone to this duty.
Emerling stepped away from his primary MOS in artillery to take on this position. He mentioned the Soldiers' Creed - to never leave a fallen comrade - as motivation to serve other Soldiers.
"Part of advocating and helping sexual assault victims means that you're picking up someone who is unable to take a step for themselves at that time," he said. "You're getting them from where they are to where they want to be."
He added a lot of people on post have received the SHARP training, and many are becoming VAs in their units. Anyone who believes he or she was a victim of a sexual assault can seek help from any VA or SARC on post; a chaplain, the Family Advocacy Program, Reynolds Army Community Hospital or the SHARP office in Building 4700.
"Wherever they feel comfortable reporting the incident, all these people are available. There are hundreds of people on post ready to help any Soldier [or victim] in need," said Grigler.
