A couple of years ago I posted a video of training in preparation for a visit to the vet, in which I taught Valenzia to hop on and off of a platform simulating an exam table. As you can observe in that video, she's in a pretty happy zone while she's learning the "paws up" and "off" cues.
It is a curious fact of behavior that the emotional state in which a cue is learned carries over into the performance of the behavior. This means that cues can be classically conditioned to have not only a physiological response — like Pavlov's dogs salivating when they heard the bell — but an emotional one, as well.
Once you know this, you can use it to your advantage. For example, if you want your dog to come at high speed and with enthusiasm, you can train your recall with your dog in a very excited state. If you know you're likely to use a behavior in a really stressful situation, it's a good idea to teach the cue with the dog calm, relaxed and happy, so the dog can relax when you need him to. (This is also why we train most management cues before we need them, because when the dog is stressed or frightened or aroused, it's already too late to teach something new.)
Today, I had a chance to see how well the emotional state of our vet prep cues carried over to real-world performance. (And because I'm a training nerd, I took video!)
Valenzia came down with a bad infection last night, so we had to make a trip to the vet today. Since it was short notice, the office offered to squeeze us in between clients in their already-packed schedule. Very few dogs enjoy visiting the vet — Valenzia is no exception to this — and when you're dealing with a dog who is terrified of other dogs, spending half an hour in the waiting room crammed between a Great Dane, a Weimaraner, a Shih Tzu puppy and a cat in a carrier is a real stress test! I used plenty of treats to keep Valenzia happy and focused on me during our wait, but even so, by the time we got to the exam room she was whining, panting, pacing on her short lead, and her eyes were bloodshot.
We had a minute to ourselves while some tests were run in the other room, so I took the opportunity to have Valenzia practice hopping on and off the exam table for treats, figuring she could use a positive experience to make up for the unpleasant needles and thermometers that were about to happen on that table when the vet returned.
I should have taken a baseline video to show how stressed she was before we started working, but unfortunately I didn't think of it at the time. Even so, you can hear how hard she's panting at the beginning of the clip, and see in her body language that she's not comfortable. Her ears are out to the sides, her shoulders are hunched, and she snatches the first few treats from my hand with her teeth.
Now, watch what happens over the course of just three or four repetitions of hopping on and off the table: The panting stops. Her ears come forward. Her head comes up. She begins taking the treats nicely, using her tongue instead of snapping at them. In the second clip (taken about thirty seconds after the first), she is treating the table as if it's her mat, lying calmly and putting her head down for treats.
Interestingly, even during the unpleasantness of the exam and injections that came a few minutes later, Valenzia remained more calm than usual the entire time she was on the table, just from those couple of minutes of positive cues and relaxation when she first entered the room. How much nicer this is — for dog, handler AND vet — than having a stressed, panicky dog who has to be wrestled onto the table and held in place!
So, next time you have your dog at the vet's office, make sure you take a moment to give your dog a breather with some fun, easy cues and rewards. Your dog (and probably your vet!) will thank you.

/ New Farm Bill Program Pays Agricultural Producers for Conservation Easements
Loading Tree...
Contact: Renee Bodine, 352-338-9565
Release: 282014
Sign up for the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program by June 6
GAINESVILLE, Fl., May 1, 2014--USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service is now accepting applications for its new Agricultural Conservation Easements Program (ACEP) that provides financial assistance for farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to establish conservation easements. The deadline for applications is June 6.
Two components comprise the program. Agricultural easements protect land devoted to food production. Cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland and nonindustrial private forestland are eligible. Wetland reserve easements restore and enhance wetlands and improve habitat. Eligible lands include farmed or converted wetlands that can be successfully and cost-effectively restored.
The ACEP combines NRCS' former Farm and Ranch Lands Protection, Grassland Reserve and Wetlands Reserve programs.
"This is an exciting new opportunity for even more people to get involved in conserving natural resources," said Florida State Conservationist Russell Morgan. "We encourage Indian tribes, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations and private landowners to contact their local NRCS office to find out how to apply."
Applications are available at local USDA Service Centers and at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/GetStarted. Agreements will be evaluated starting in late August.
For more information on agricultural easements contact Nina Bhattacharyya, 352-338-9554. Contact Crenel Francis, 352-338-3508 for information about wetland easements.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

I don't care what anyone says, Ken Griffey Jr. still has the sweetest looking swing in baseball.
3 thoughts on "The Sweetest Swing"
It is really too bad that he has been getting hurt for some many years in a row….he would be the person we would be talking about breaking the homerun record instead of Barry "I'm a Juicer" Bonds. Have you seen a highlight reel on him when they show him in his first year with the Giants??? He was as big as you or me….now look at him! Too bad the biggest baseball record is tainted!
By far and away KG has the sweetest swing. I'm such a huge fan of his I'm very upset he is not the one that will break the HR record.
We won't even discuss. He is the best🙂

Soybean Comment
Soybeans continued mixed with nearby July setting a new high for the recent up move. Extremely tight stocks of 434.5 million bushels were supportive, as the average trade guess was 442 million. Deferred contracts were under pressure from the acreage report, which pegged plantings at 77.7 million acres. A little lower than the average trade estimate, but still up from the March 1 number of 77.13 million. November posted sharp losses, completely closing the May chart gap and violating support at $12.48. The next technical support starts around $12.05.

Grain Comment
Wheat prices remain weak as harvest continues to look good, and supplies are expected to be ample. Prices remain just cents above a new contract low as we head into Friday?s acreage report and stocks report. While there is not expected to be big news for wheat, a good corn report will likely spread to the wheat market in the short run. Look for spill over strength to provide an opportunity to sell remaining wheat.Corn futures plummeted today in reaction to the acreage report. While the trade was estimating a decrease from the March intentions report, USDA actually estimated a crop of 97.4 million acres, up 100,000 acres from the March 1 report. Losses were tempered a little bit by a 400,000 acre decrease in the harvested acres estimate. The June 1 stocks report was on the low end of expectations and provided some support for expiring July. The next support for December is likely psychological support around $5.
As reported by Federal-State Market News, receipts were 8,245 head
at sales in Arkansas this week.
Compared with last week, feeder steers sold mostly stady to $4 higher .
Cattle Comment
Cattle futures ended mixed. Feeders were higher on the forecast for a larger than expected corn plantings report. Live cattle, however, were lower on news of lower cash prices and worries of herd expansion thanks to the prospect for cheaper corn.
Hogs Comment
Hog futures were lower ahead of this afternoon's inventory report. Concerns about herd expansion due to a larger than expected corn crop (and thus cheaper feed) also weighed on the market. Yesterday's high of $99.85 will be the first level of resistance for August. The market is challenging support in the form of a short-term uptrend near $97.40.

Jersey City will be home next year to a new charter school intended to focus on education in the medical sciences.
The application for Great Futures Charter High School for the Health Sciences, submitted in June as a joint effort of the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County and Jersey City Medical Center, was approved Tuesday by the state Department of Education.
The school will be housed in the new Boys & Girls Club building at Grove and Grand streets, a short distance from the hospital's campus. It is set to open next September, starting with ninth grade, said Gary Greenberg, executive director and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hudson County.
Each year through 2017, a new grade will be added. School officials are aiming to have 125 students in each class.
Great Futures is one of three out of 38 applicants that were approved by the DOE. The other two schools set to open in 2014 are in Trenton.
Three different career pathways will be offered, each of which will address either the clinical, technical or administrative aspects of health care, Greenberg said. Students will begin the program with career exploration in ninth grade, and end with a chosen internship in their senior year.
Greenberg said the school will present pupils not only with a high school education that will coincide with health sciences, but also the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in medical professions that he says are in "high demand."
While it's expected that the majority of students will pursue college after graduation, each student would be prepared to achieve certification as a patient care technician (PCT) or certified emergency medical technician, school officials said.

This year for the first time I'm going to share my game-by-game summer prognostication with everybody rather than just one post on how the league will finish.
We are well on our way with Kansas State (6-6/3-6) selected to finish seventh in our last installment. Earlier we had Kansas picked to finish last again at 2-10/0-9, and Iowa State is picked for ninth at 3-9/1-8. West Virginia has an unusual amount of turnover in coaching staff along with the player losses such as their best offensive linemen, Geno Smith at quarterback, and the dynamic receiving duo of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey adding up for me to 5-7/2-7.
Now, technically, we move into the upper half of the league and this first team is a surprise for some. Texas Tech is picked by most summer preseason publications to finish in the bottom half of the conference. We could say that is where we have them, but in our crystal ball the Red Raiders are tied for fifth in the league.
Tommy Tuberville was never a fit in Raiderland and that is made so much more obvious by the response in West Texas to the return of former quarterback Kliff Kingsbury. One recent Tech graduate I spoke with this summer enthusiastically told me that her school now had their "Mike Gundy." He is their guy. Nobody had to give him a tour of campus or show him what schools and towns he needed to hit in recruiting. Kingsbury knows what "guns up" means.
The former Raider quarterback hired five other former Red Raiders to join him and this is a young staff. It helps that Kingsbury is a coach's son and wise beyond his years. The youth of his staff will ache some in the experience department but will likely make up for it in the enthusiasm and relating to players areas. Not that I expect it to happen, but should Tech get smashed around a few times they will rebound faster.
Texas Tech has a gunslinger at quarterback in Michael Brewer, who is the son of former Texas quarterback Robert Brewer. He'll have a nice combination of veteran and athletic running backs and wide receivers in the likes of Kenny Williams (RB), Eric Ward (IR), Jakeem Grant (IR), Javon Bell (WR) and Jace Amaro (jumbo WR), and speedy Dominique Wheeler. The offensive line is really solid stabilized by young standout Le'Raven Clark.
On defense, Texas Tech returns seven starts with Kerry Hyder a standout on the line. But they will miss recently transferred defensive tackle Delvon Simmons. Will Smith and Terrance Bullitt are seniors at linebacker who can be really good if they will play more consistent. In other words, they have shown how good they can be but just haven't done it game after game. Tre' Porter could be considered a returning starter at safety as he has played a lot. They also return their kicker and punter, always a plus.
The schedule is a plus for the most part with a light nonconference schedule, potential easy games in the Big 12 on the road in Kansas and West Virginia. Trips to OU and Texas will be tough, but home games with TCU, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Kansas State make all those games possible wins.
Honestly, my opinion is that Texas Tech will start out moderate and the TCU game could be an eye opener. I think the Kansas and Iowa State conference games in early October could be major confidence builders and from that point on Texas Tech will be a competitive, if not a tough out, for everybody.
Beware, Tommy T. is gone and Kliff K. is in, and the Red Raiders are going to be back in business.
Sept. 7, Stephen F. Austin - Win - FCS opponent for Kingsbury home debut will be a huge blowout.
Sept. 12, TCU - Loss - Horned Frogs better be ready as Thursdays on the road are tough spots.
Sept. 21, Texas State - Win - An easy bounce back off the TCU loss keeps momentum going.
Oct. 5, @Kansas - Win - Last season these two teams played double OT but not this time.
Oct. 12, Iowa State - Win - Tech comes home to make it 5-out-of-6 to open the season.
Oct. 19, @West Virginia - Win - Student in Kingsbury goes against teacher in Holgorsen in a make or break game for West Virginia.
Oct. 26, @Oklahoma - Loss - Four-game win streak is halted but the game may be pretty entertaining.
Nov. 2, Oklahoma State - Win - Unbeaten Cowboys slip up in the middle of three game easy set as Lubbock becomes tough place to go again.
Nov. 9, Kansas State - Win - Great game in the wind in West Texas and Raiders squeak it out.
Nov. 16, Baylor (Arlington) - Loss - Briles gives Kingsbury a coaching lesson as Bears go 9-0 on the season.
Nov. 30, @Texas - Loss - Longhorns get badly needed Turkey Day win at Raiders expense.
Texas Tech Final Prediction: 8-4/5-4 (Big 12)

Ann Arbor and Pittsfield Township have some of the lowest car insurance rates in the state, according to a recent study by ValuePenguin.
The personal consumer finance company recently wrapped up a study of the 50 largest municipalities in the state, which revealed that Ann Arbor and Pittsfield have the No. 2 and No. 3 lowest rates in the state, respectively, for basic auto insurance coverage.
With an average annual rate of $1,318, Ann Arbor ranked 49th out of 50 largest municipalities in terms of lowest rates, while Pittsfield Township's rate of $1,327 ranked 48th. Georgetown Township, a suburb just west of Grand Rapids, had the lowest rate at $1,294 per year.
Ypsilanti had the 16th-lowest rates of the 50 cities, averaging $1,476 per year.
The study was based off of the average insurance quote from five different providers for a 30-year-old single man driving a Toyota Camry. The hypothetical driver owns his vehicle and drives between 10,000 and 15,000 miles per year, the study said, and he uses his vehicle primarily for commuting to work.
Brian Quinn, the co-founder of ValuePenguin and the commissioner of the study, said the detailed analysis of the auto insurance rates in Michigan is part of what he hopes will be a 50-state analysis.
The 30-year-old hypothetical driver has no accidents or traffic incidents on his record in the past five years and has excellent credit, all factors that contribute to factoring automotive insurance rates.
"We sampled quotes from five auto insurance companies and averaged the five sample rates to come up with an average for each city. The companies we looked at were GEICO, State Farm, Nationwide, MetLife and Allstate," Quinn said.
"In general, cities that are denser seem to have higher insurance premiums for somewhat obvious reasons. More cars in a smaller area tend to mean a higher likelihood of accidents. Also, towns with less automobile crimes – (including) theft – such as Ann Arbor tend to have cheaper auto insurance rates. I think that's important to note."
Detroit was far and away the most expensive, with rates exceeding $3,400 – more than two-and-a-half times the rate of Ann Arbor. Dearborn had the state's second-highest rate at $2,618 annually – nearly twice Ann Arbor's rate.
The study determined that the average annual car insurance cost in Michigan is $1,680, or $140 per month.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- ANNADALE -- Residents across the Island know the problems that stem from construction during large-scale sewer installations, ranging from traffic to noise pollution. Granted, these city projects are necessary evils in order to maintain proper waste management services, but one Lucy Loop homeowner feels that she and the residents of her small Annadale community have been sent for a 'loop' because of one of these installations.
Dana Marino says that the city's Department of Design and Construction has been giving her a bit of a run-around since work broke at the end of last year, but she was willing to look past a few broken promises regarding temporary walkways and accidental water main breaks.
When questions began to arise over the replacement of catch basements and the repair of her undermined driveway, Mrs. Marino's concerns began to mount, but it wasn't until her 3-year-old daughter tripped over some broken asphalt and DDC officials seemed apathetic that she reached her breaking point.
The community liaison had initially told her the restoration work would be done by the middle of May, but has since recanted. The renovation is now set for September, and Mrs. Marino doesn't feel that residents of her community should have to wait until after the summer for the fixes to come.

Phytoplankton (a.k.a. tiny marine plants) produce half the planet's food and there are signs that their numbers are plummeting as the seas warm, according to a recent article in the magazine New Scientists.
"[Phytoplankton] are a big part of the planet's life-support system. If phytoplankton decline, that threatens the food base of a vast part of the biosphere," says Dalhousie University marine biologist Boris Worm, who's researching decades of data. "There's less fuel in the tank of the machinery of life, and you just don't get as far."
The abundance of phytoplankton appears to be on the decline since the 1940's, according to satellite readings of phytoplankton conducted by Dr. Worm and Oregon State University Professor Michael Behrenfeld. The authors point to ocean warming that is increasing stratification of waters and reducing access to nutrients from the deeper waters for the creatures that depend on these nutrients for survival.

PAINESVILLE, Ohio -- A mother and her son will be sentenced next month for the brutal, drug-fueled robbery and murder of a 77-year-old former neighbor who was stabbed 94 times in her home.
Zachary Weimer, 23, of Austinburg, was convicted today of the June 13 murder of Eleanor Robertson, ransacking the woman's Madison Township house and stealing her valuables to sell them for money to buy heroin.
Weimer's mother, Danna Weimer, 53, also of Austinburg, was convicted by a Lake County jury on Oct. 15. Both were convicted of aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, receiving stolen property and possession of cocaine and heroin and other offenses.
Danna Weimer will be sentenced Dec. 12 and Zachary
Weimer will be sentenced Dec. 17.
Both face a maximum penalty of life in prison. Lake County Prosecutor Chuck Coulson said at the time the case went before the grand jury that there was not enough evidence to seek the death penalty. By the time they gathered that evidence, it was too late to ask that the death penalty be considered.
"This was a horrible, horrible crime," Coulson said. "The mother drove her son to the crime scene and dropped him off. He spent hours inside the house, terrorizing and brutalizing the woman, who was his former neighbor. He stabbed her 94 times with a screwdriver and poured acid on her. No person should ever die like this, especially not a grandmother."
Weimer showed no reaction when the jury returned the verdict today, but Robertson's friends and family hugged and cried in relief after the conviction.
Coulson said both Zachary and Danna Weimer were drug users and that the need for heroin ruled their lives.
"They needed money for drugs and Zachary needed to pay off drug dealers," Coulson said. "They knew Mrs. Robertson because they had lived near him and it's possible that she recognized Zachary and let him in. There is no evidence that he forced his way inside. His mother dropped Zachary off at the house and then drove off."
Coulson said after attacking Robertson, Zachary plundered the house for several hours. "He stole jewelry, but also took odd things," he said. "He took her teacup collection, framed pictures off the walls, things that would not be worth much."
Before leaving, Zachary stole Robertson's van, piling the stolen goods in the back seat, an act that proved to be his undoing.
Madison Township police put out a bulletin for the missing van and an eagle-eyed Euclid police officer spotted it.
"The officer was staking out a pawn shop when he saw the van," Coulson said. "He looked inside and saw a metal box with Robertson's name on it."
Zachary was arrested and later his mother was picked up for her part in the murder.
Coulson said the crime is evidence of the negative impact of drugs in the community.
"Once a person gets hooked on drugs it takes over their life," he said. "Human life becomes inconsequential."

KALAMAZOO — Simon Boehme says he's pretty sure nothing in 2011 will top the memorable year he had in 2010.
Odds are he's probably correct.
Boehme found himself in the spotlight in June, when he delivered a rousing commencement speech to his Kalamazoo Central High School classmates and an audience that included President Barack Obama.
The Class of 2010 salutatorian was an integral member of a committee that helped land Obama for the June 10 spectacle, staged at Western Michigan University.
Now 19 and a freshman at the University of Michigan, Boehme said June 7, 2010 will stand out as a day to remember forever.
"It was an honor that Mr. Washington (K-Central Principal Von Washington Jr.) turned to me and asked me to be the student organizer (of the campaign to lure Obama to the commencement)," Boehme said. "The fact we were successful and became the first class to ever have a sitting president attend a high school graduation … it was the greatest day of my life."
Boehme still smiles about his comment during his commencement speech about running for president in 2048, which Obama later acknowledged during his own address.
The president drew a laugh when he quipped that thankfully, the Constitution doesn't allow a person younger than 35 to run for the office.
Before he even signed up for his classes at U-M, Boehme staged a write-in campaign for the U-M Board of Regents, but was unable to collect enough signatures to make the ballot.
Boehme said he has been surprised at how many people recognize him from the K-Central graduation, and how acquaintances he meets in Ann Arbor react when he tells them he's from Kalamazoo.
"It's pretty amazing how many people hear Kalamazoo and the first thing they ask is, 'Isn't that where Obama went to a high school graduation?' The second thing they mention is, "Isn't that where every high school graduate can go to college for free," he said. Boehme said he's proud to answer, 'Yes,' to both.
He said the financial freedom he enjoys as a result of The Promise scholarship program allows him to concentrate solely on his studies. He carried a load of 16 credits his first semester at U-M, with a schedule heavy with freshman-required, general-studies classes, and his 3.8 grade-point average earned him "university honors."
U-M students don't declare majors until their sophomore year and Boehme said he's contemplating a number of options. He said he is hoping to land a summer internship and has his eyes on the U.S. Department of Education. He may have an in, since he had an opportunity to meet and chat with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on high school graduation day.
Boehme said the 280 K-Central students who graduated in June will always share a collective bond, regardless of where they end up. He looks forward to class reunions.
"It was a very uniting experience and something that I think will always make Central's class of 2010 a special class," he said.
His role led to dozens of special appearances and media interviews, including a China-based newspaper that specifically sought him out, a feature segment on MTV and appearances on morning talk shows.
The commencement and lead-up to it was a hectic, fast-paced time that in hindsight seems like a blur, said Boehme, who kept a journal of the days leading up to and including the graduation.
He looks forward to someday having his own family being able to share with them that journal, and his photograph of shaking hands with the president.

PLUMSTED TWP. — The Washington Township High School softball program recently held its first alumni game.
Among the graduates who played was pitcher Kristy Pron and other members of the 2002 Minutemaids, the last team in school history to play for a state title — until now.
Township pulled away in the final three innings to beat Hillsborough, 6-2, and advance to Saturday's NJSIAA state Group IV final.
"This game you come out here and have a bad day and it can take your hopes and dreams away from you," said Township coach Tracy Burkhart. "Maybe in the beginning of the year I wasn't so sure, but when we started playing the team came together and there were no doubts we would be contending."
Check out a photo gallery of Township's big win
The Minutemaids had advanced to the semifinal twice since — losing 2-0 in 18 innings to Rancocas Valley on this same field at New Egypt in 2005 — and dropping a 1-0 heartbreaker two years ago.
So it was a sense of relief when Township jumped on top 1-0 in the top of the second. Jess Hughes — who finished 3-for-3 with a walk — led off with a double and scored on Dominique Palagruto's RBI fielder's choice.
Hillsborough took a brief 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second with a pair of runs, including one on Alexis Pezza's RBI single, but Township answered back in the top of third with the potent middle of the lineup.
Kylie Mulholland, Kristen Turner and Hughes all reached on singles and Mulholland raced home on a wild pitch.
The middle of the order came through again to snap the tie in the fifth. Turner's opposite-field double scored Kellianne Gaffney with the go-ahead run and Turner scored on a two-out error after a Hughes single for a 4-2 lead.
"In that at-bat I was just trying to put the ball in play, move her over because even if I couldn't get her home, I knew Jess would," said Turner, who was 2-for-4. "I just put it in play and hoped something good happened.
"In the beginning it was a little nerve-racking, but we believe in ourselves, took a deep breath and we all know we can come back."
Pitcher Taylor Coroneos' two-out, two-run single in the top of the seventh gave the Minutemaids some breathing room, and the right-hander retired the side in order for the only time in the game in the seventh.
"We got good momentum and when we get on a rally, we really don't stop," said Hughes. "We have a great team and I was very, very confident we would go very far."
They've gone farther than any Township softball team in over a decade and will be able to talk about their own state title at future alumni games with one more win. The Minutemaids meet Watchung Hills in the final.
"If we couldn't do it two years ago, I'm glad we could do it this year," said Turner. "If everyone comes and plays the way we have all year (Saturday) we should have no problem."

BOSTON (AP) — Access to primary care doctors in Massachusetts improved slightly in 2012, although about half still say they aren't accepting new patients.
That's according to a new survey from the Massachusetts Medical Society released Wednesday.
The survey found 51 percent of internists and 50 percent of family doctors taking new patients That's a small improvement from last year when only 49 percent of internists and 47 percent of family doctors were accepting new patients
The report found new patients wait an average of about 45 days to see a family doctor and 44 days to see an internist.
Wait times for internal medicine has been decreasing while the trend for family medicine has been increasing.
The survey also found 87 percent of patients are satisfied with the health care they received.

The final round
Engine experts say choosing between the two technologies might be a moot point by 2014, when engine manufacturers must face a final round of emissions reductions. Tier 4 Final calls for near-zero levels of NOx and PM.
"The major change for Tier 4 Final is a further reduction in NOx, which may require all manufacturers of engines below 750 hp to use both SCR and cooled EGR with DPFs," says David Combs, senior sales manager with MTU Detroit Diesel, which sells Mercedes engines for off-highway use.
Tractor makers agree that both technologies will likely be required to meet final regulations. However, all of them report that they are fervently pursuing other technologies that may reduce the burden of having to use both solutions.
"We've got three more years before we have to make a final decision on precisely what technology we will use," says Case IH's Tom Dean. "And there are new technologies coming out all the time that can help us achieve what we need to, but we're confident the final solution will include key elements of the SCR approach we've introduced now for 2011."

Acta Cryst. (2012). E68, o3143 [ doi:10.1107/S1600536812041414 ]
Abstract: The title compound, C23H19N, was obtained unexpectedly from the reaction of [Eu(nta)3(PzPy)] {Hnta = 1-(2-naphthoyl)-3,3,3-trifluoroacetone and PzPy = 2-[3(5)-pyrazolyl]pyridine} with 1-naphthylmethylamine. The 1- and 2-naphthyl groups are essentially planar [r.m.s. deviations of 0.007 and 0.011 Å, respectively] and subtend angles of 38.69 (11) and 16.50 (11)°, respectively, with the central CH3-C=N-CH2 unit, which is also almost planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å]. In the crystal, the molecules are disposed in zigzag-type fashion, forming layers perpendicular to [100]. Weak supramolecular C-H interactions contribute to the packing forces.

In total I've seen 8 different species of birds at this feeder and tree. From behind a big sliding glass door, I'm fortunate enough to be able to capture some pretty close photos. Some of these birds are so easily spooked. And Yes, I can be found down on the floor, on my belly in front of the glass door, camera in hand. Looking forward to seeing even more come to the feeder.
The gang's all here. Can we eat now?

Jessica Rae Killian, 33, was found on an Ione farm Oct. 4. Authorities think she might have been fatally shot as early as Oct. 1, said Tony Green, a department spokesman.
After a brief manhunt, Steven Montie Crum, 29, of Ione was arrested Friday in Harney County. Green could not comment on any relationship between Crum and Killian.
Crum, whose family owns the property where Killian's body was found, has worked as a reserve deputy with the Morrow County Sheriff's Office for about two years.
He was indicted Tuesday morning on charges of murder, murder of a
pregnant victim, unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated theft. He is scheduled to appear for an arraignment Friday morning in Morrow County Circuit Court.
The Department of Justice is prosecuting the case at the request of Morrow County District Attorney Justin W. Nelson.

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has confirmed that assistants to sacked Cranes Coach Bobby Williamson Jackson Mayanja and Fred Kajoba will remain in charge of the team until a new coach is appointed.
"We shall continue to receive applications from coaches all over the world, but the assistants will remain in-charge till we make a decision," Rogers Mulindwa, the Uganda FA Head of Communication said.
Mayanja has had two stints as Bobby's assistant and also worked as assistant to Laslo Csaba in 2006 while Kajoba has been the goal keeping coach under the 51 year old Scot for the last five years.
The duo will work together with psychology Coach Leo Adraa as the federation seeks to find Bobby's replacement.
Meanwhile, two foreign coaches have shown interest in taking over the Cranes job. Former Ethiopia, Yanga FC and Namibia Coach Tom Saintfiet and Italian midfielder Guissepe Dossena while Rwanda's Mitcho Sredojevich and Zambia's 2012 AFCON winning Coach Renard Herve have distanced themselves despite speculation.
Locally, ex-cranes winger and former assistant to Bobby Williamson Sam Ssimbwa has also showed interest.
"I have what it takes to guide the national team to great heights. They can even try me for a short period and see how I perform," said Ssimbwa. As usual, we shall keep you posted on all developments.

A Monona man accused of shaking his girlfriend's toddler has been given 14 years in prison.
Troy Laufenberg was sentenced on Tuesday in Clayton County District Court. He'd pleaded guilty to two counts of child endangerment for having methamphetamine in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, her daughter from a previous relationship and a baby the two had together.
A judge found him guilty of one count of child endangerment for causing her serious injury in July.
Doctors said the toddler's injuries were consistent with shaken baby syndrome. He'd said the girl fell down a staircase.

KALAMAZOO -- It was a cold but sunny Monday morning. The summer star of Bell's Brewery Inc., the wheat ale Oberon, signaled the end of winter by flowing for the first time this year from the Eccentric Cafe taps at 11 a.m.
"It's a sign of winter ending and summer starting," server Cajsa Knauff said between filling glasses of the ale that is only sold between spring and fall. "It signals sunshine and music."
The well-known label of the brewery's best-selling beer boasts a sun-emblazoned blue and orange label. Originally called Solsun, the ale since 1996 has been named after the Fairy King in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream.
What other excuse would one need to enjoy a summer brew just shy of noon on a work day? How about being newly unemployed?
Bob Causley, of Woodhaven, and Mike Smith, of Southgate, got up early to drive 140 miles from their towns south of Detroit to catch the ale's opening day. They wanted to pick up a few cases, "and cry in our Oberon," Smith said, laughing.
Smith had been laid off recently from DHL, and Causley got cut from Ford.
On the other side of the cafe, Myra Willis, Lynn Bookman, Joe Ammar and Diane Berry were toasting Oberon and "new beginnings."
They ordinarily would be in their cubicles working in the banking industry, but Monday morning they finished work early, period. Laid off due to a department cut, they were celebrating the end of their last day with a round of Oberons.
Mike LaCourse, of Otsego, got the very first Oberon. He's never celebrated Oberon Release Day at the cafe, "but I'm laid off right now, and it's one of my favorite beers," he said.
Others didn't mention their employment or lack of. They were merely Oberon fans, old and new. Scott VanBrocklin, of Plainwell, declared after his first sip of Oberon: "It's good."
Pat Devine, who lives on Gull Lake, was first in the door, though he missed the first pour. He has been a fan for 15 years, and Monday was his third Oberon Day at the cafe.
Sometimes Oberon brews can change in quality year-to-year, or even keg-to-keg, but his first glass Monday was perfect, he said.
"It's good, it's made here, it's reasonably priced. There's a local flavor in the whole process -- it's designed and brewed by people from here," Devine said. "I try to buy things made locally now more than ever."
While Bell's Brewery was showing sings of remaining a strong Kalamazoo business Monday, Larry Bell was in Washington, D.C., to personally introduce Oberon to RFD Washington, a bar/restaurant just a mile from the White House.
Oberon is spreading over the country. It can be found as far away as Florida, has returned to Illinois now that a distribution fight is over, ships to Georgia and South Carolina this spring, and will be sold in Puerto Rico in November.
By noon Monday, the Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo was filling rapidly with people toasting a local product that seems to be recession-proof.

Our March 6 cover story on inventor Jerome Lemelson, the 1995 Design
News Engineer of the Year, triggered a flood of calls and letters from our
readers. Most came from disillusioned engineers who could not get their pet
inventions beyond the idea stage and were looking for some advice from Lemelson,
one of the most successful inventors in U.S. history with some 500 patents.
One engineer responding to the article--Lyle Haugland of Boeing--provided what I thought was an excellent analysis of frustrated would-be inventors. He calls them "The Golden Handcuffs Generation." These are individuals who for various reasons cannot, or think they cannot, pull away from their careers and other commitments enough to bring their innovative ideas to fruition. As Haugland sees it, the actual or imagined "handcuffs" that keep these engineers from following their dreams include:
Marriage and family commitments and responsibilities.
Careers that aren't successful enough to make one financially independent, yet still rewarding enough to discourage the pursuit of riskier but more creative endeavors.
Companies that lay claim to an employee's inventive ideas, regardless of whether or not they are developed on company time or apply to company products.
Lack of education or knowledge of how to patent, develop, and market ideas.
Inadequate support from spouses, relatives, friends, and peers.
Lack of enough good judgment to know how to spend their limited creative time and financial resources.
Haugland has given invention a great deal of thought as a former process improvement expert for the Boeing Defense & Space Group. He argues that corporations and schools could do a lot more to remove the constraints that frustrate creative engineers. More colleges should offer courses in invention and innovation development and marketing. Companies should allow talented engineers to take paid or unpaid sabbaticals to pursue their inventions. Still another need: marketing companies that do not charge individuals until an invention is commercially viable.
All of these are good ideas that could encourage more engineers to conquer their fears and act on their dreams. If you know of such programs, please let us know about them, and we'll spread the word.

Free Software Misunderstood¶
This post is in response to two things that I've observed recently:
1. A Misinformed Critique of the Debian Project
2. The largely unfair dismissal of free software/open source/hackers on the grounds of purported zealotry.
Debian, Critiqued¶
The above linked article, presents a number of critiques, leveled at the Debian project. While these complaints with user experience are valid, I was left with a serious, as we say on the Internet "WTF" moment. Read the article if you haven't already before you get to my response, if you're so inclined.
Also I'd like to challenge the Editors of that website to exercise a little more digression in what they publish in the future.
My response:
1. Stable releases of Debian are for the most part not intended to be run as desktop operating systems. The software in Debian Lenny is, at this moment nearly two years old. That's fine (and even desirable) for a server, but most users want things that are a little more up to date than that. This is why we have distributions like Ubuntu, which manages to walk a much better line between stable (and benefits from the efforts of Debian) and current.
2. It's possible to install Debian packages that aren't contained in the repository, or provided in older versions of the operating system. Download the package with wget and then use dpkg -i [package-file].deb. There may be GUI tools that support this. While we might like to have Linux systems for "new comers" to the platform that don't require using the command line, Debian stable isn't one of these operating systems.
3. Installing fonts on most systems is usually as simple as putting the files in /usr/share/fonts or $HOME/.fonts and and running fc-cache -f. The complainer focuses a great deal on the absence of a familiar font management program (which appears to be a command line tool that exists in Ubuntu 9.04 which is a "newer" system than Lenny).
I still don't see how "contempt" is the right word, to describe the fact that a massive project that is the result of a loose organization of hundreds of people, failed the address a few specific needs of a user using the system in a non-standard/non-recommended pattern qualifies as "contempt for users."
As it stands it sort of feels like the author is attempting to stir up controversy by attacking a historical weak spot, and stretching the bounds of reasonable criticism in the process. I think editors of any publication should be above this sort of thing. thumbs down.
Dismissal of Free Software on the Grounds of Zealotry¶
We see this a lot, and I'm kind of sick of it.
I've seen a lot of people–who actually agree with almost every tenant of the most "ideologically pure" free software advocates–dismiss version 3 of the GPL, or RMS, or the FSF for being "too radical," or obsessive, or "communist," which is both intensely interesting and intensely troubling. It's often in the form of "I wouldn't say that like RMS," or some such.
For starters, I think its interesting to note the prevalence with which "communist" is used as a dismissal of the "Free Software" movement, particularly because while there is a very vague "anti-corporations" and "anti-trust" vein in the free software world, in point of fact the biggest "big picture political" ideology around is a very ad hoc libertarianism. The "communist" jab is, probably more at the sort of heavy-handed ideological positionally of the "copy left" movement. Furthermore, I think it's probably clear that Free software as we know it today wouldn't be possible without commercial interests, input and, energies, and resources.
And yet. Free software/open-source, gets red baited. Interesting. And disappointing.

action potential
a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon. the action potential is generated by the movement of positively charged atoms in and out of channels in the axon's membrane
resting potential
when a neuron is in polarization; more negative ions are inside the neuron cell membrane with a positive ions on the outside, causing a small electrical charge; release of this charge generates a neuron's impulse (signal/message)
receptor cells
Specialized cells in every sensory system of the body that can turn other kinds of energy into action potentials (neural impulses) that the brain can process.
A process in which neurotransmitters are sponged up from the synaptic cleft by the presynaptic membrane.
refractory period
(neurology) the time after a neuron fires or a muscle fiber contracts during which a stimulus will not evoke a response
the extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands
the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron
a method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis
eletroencephalogram; an amplified recording of the waves of electrical activity that sweep across the brain's surface. These waves are measured by electrodes placed on the scalp
using a computerized radiographic technique to examine the metabolic activity in various tissues (especially in the brain)
sensory neurons
neurons that carry incoming information from the sense receptors to the central nervous system
Central nervous system neurons that internally communicate and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs
motor neurons
neurons that carry outgoing information from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands
This nervous system provides involuntary control over smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
the branch of the nervous system that automatically calms us down when the reason for arousal has passed
"stress response"
The response to a demand or stressor. Has three phases: alarm, resistance, and recovery.
phineas gage
railroad worker who survived a severe brain injury that dramatically changed his personality and behavior; case played a role in the development of the understanding of the localization of brain function

parietal lobe
that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying below the crown of the head
occipital lobe
that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying in the back of the head
temporal lobe

a neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage
the "little brain" attached to the rear of the brainstem; it helps coordinate voluntary movement and balance
the brain's sensory switchboard, located on top of the brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla
somatosensory cortex
Area of the parietal lobe, which receives sensory infromation about touch, pressure, pain, temperature, and body position
brocas area
controls language expression-an aread of the frontal, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech
wernickes area
controls language reception-a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression;usually in the left temporal lobe
the brain's capacity for modification, as evident in brain reorganization following damage (especially in children) and in experiments on the effects of experience on brain development
corpus callosum
the large band of neural fibers connecting the two brain hemispheres and carrying messages between them
split brain
a condition in which the two hemispheres of the brain are isolated by cutting the connecting fibers (mainly those of the corpus callosum) between them
myelin sheath
a layer of fatty tissue segmentally encasing the fibers of many neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed of neural impulses as the impulse hops from one node to the next
fraternal twins
twins who develop from separate eggs. They are genetically no closer than brothers and sisters, but they share a fetal environment
identical twins
twins who develop from a single fertilized egg that splits in two, creating two genetically identical organisms
nature vs. nuture

bottom- up processing
analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information
signal detection theory
A theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus amid background noise
selective attention
the focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus, as in the cocktail party effect
change blindness
the tendency to fail to detect changes in any part of a scene to which we are not focusing our attention
cocktail party effect

bones in middle ear trasmit vibrations to cochlea=>pressure waves in the cochlea=>cause another membrane to vibrate binding its hair cells=>bending depolarizes the membranes of special receptors and sends action-potentials to the brain via the auditory nerve
gate control theory
theory that spinal cord contains neurological gate that blocks pains signals or allows them to pass. gate is opened by activity of pain going up small nerve fibers & gate is closed by act of large fibers or by info coming from brain
people who have the highest sentsitivity to all tastes, as well as mouth sensations in general
subliminal messages
Brief auditory or visual messages that are presented below the absolute threshold
music backwards
when music is played backwards and sounds make noises to sound like other words, this is an example of subliminal messages.

(65% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot; 24 hl/ha; 33% new barrels) Medium red. Lovely floral nose offers violet, cranberry and mineral aromas. Fresh and pure, with a pretty mineral element framing the redcurrant and blackberry flavors. A very well balanced, medium-bodied, uncomplicated Bordeaux with sneaky concentration and a moderately long finish. This estate has been making wine since the 16th century, and its 35-year-old vines, spaced at 6,600 vines per hectare and cropped at very low yields, go a long way toward explaining the quality here.

almost always put in Jake. . . shorter than Jacob and sounds cooler.
So, this may be a stupid topic, but whatever.....
So, when a game asks you to enter a name, do you put your name, or the name of the character.
I got Zelda:Twilight Princess, and put in my name. After a while it kinda got annoying to me. I wished I would have put in Link, but it was too late. I got the Phantom Hourglass for the DS, and this time I put in Link as the name.
If I don't put the name of the character I either put my real name, Tacos, or Bizzy B. What do you do?

Well, there's a few things I've done in the past.
On my first playthrough of Final Fantasy VII, I put their names as Matrix characters (I was right on the money calling Yuffie "Cypher").
Then after a while I got bored and called everyone Sephiroth. Made things unbelievably confusing. You don't know who was talking to who.
Sephiroth: Give me the black materia!
Sephiroth: No, don't give it to him!
Sephiroth: I don't know what to do...
Even better when President Shinra says: I can't be expected to remember your name, not unless you become another Sephiroth! Yes, he was perfect, perhaps too perfect...
Now a days, I use Squall7 (if there's enough room. If not, I put Squall). It's close to my real name anyway (Paul).

I sometimes put the name and sometimes put my own, I refer to myself as Jam, or the more recent Cappin' (all credit goes to mike).
I put my name because to me its like I'm in the game instead of controlling a character =/

Basically, they run on their qualifications and experience, and incumbent judges have been traditionally hard to unseat.

I've been a little obsessed with BAS lately... I think it's the warm weather.
Pretty much every night along side my MEAT.
But it's just because I really, really, them... the cold, crunchy, sweet romain, the tomato, bacon crumbles, the super-fatty and a bit pungent blue cheese dressing. Sometimes avocado too.
It's magical BLT+ blue cheese flavor.
Piles of it!
Not a healthy salad by CW standards, but SO good!
What do they know anyway. ;)
Also... have you used the dog dinner ground meat from elkusa.com?
The organ to meat ratio is much higher in that than the USWM brand, and it's much leaner.
I'm trying to figure out if my husband would dig in his heels if I used it.
He isn't an organ fan... :rolleyes:
Maybe mixing the really fatty USWM grind with some of the elkusa would come out better for him.
I also wonder about their tongues being mixed in... do they grind them in "skin" on? And would that texture be noticeable?
I may just have to make an order and suss it out myself.
Even the "venison smorgasboard" sounds good to me!
And it's basically got [U]everything[/U] in it.

CSBS is administrated by the dean with the help of an associate dean, an administrative assistant, and a team of other support personnel to ensure the college operates efficiently and effectively.
The college houses eight departments: The School of Applied Human Sciences; Geography; History; Military Science; Political Science; Psychology; Social Work; and Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology. We also oversee the Women's and Gender Studies program, the Masters of Public Policy program, the Center for Social and Behavioral Research, and various other centers and units.
Although our programs are varied, each shares a concern for studying some of the most basic yet vital subjects in human behavior: why we behave the way we do, how we interact with one another, and how we interact with our environments. The mission of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences is to achieve distinction in undergraduate liberal education and applied fields in those disciplines housed within the college. To this end, the college is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and public service.
