Around 750 worldwide species of mycorrhizal mushrooms compose the genus Russula. They are typically common, fairly large, and brightly colored - making them one of the most recognizable genera among mycologists and mushroom collectors. Their distinguishing characteristics include a white to dark yellow spore print, brittle free white gills, and an absence of partial veil or volva tissue on the stem. Members of the related Lactarius genus have similar characteristics but emit a milky latex when their gills are broken. The genus was described by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1796.
Russula means reddish.
"If we know of any one, who in the pride of intellect spurned all mental tasks as mere play, we would tame him by insisting on his mastering, classifying and explaining the synonyms of the genus Russula."
Like the genus Lactarius, Russulas have a distinctive flesh consistency, which is also reflected in the appearance of the gills and stipe, and normally makes them immediately recognizable. They have no trace of a veil (no ring, or veil remnants on the cap). The gills are brittle except in a few cases, and cannot be bent parallel with the cap without breaking. The spore powder varies from white to cream, or even orange.
While it is relatively easy to identify a sample mushroom as belonging to this genus, it is a significant challenge to distinguish member species of Russula. This task often requires microscopic characteristics, and subtle subjective distinctions, such as the difference between a mild to bitter and a mild to acrid flavor. Moreover the exact phylogenetic relationships of these mushrooms have yet to be resolved in the professional mycological community, and may ultimately depend on DNA sequencing analysis.
The following characteristics are often important in identifying individual species:
- the exact colour of the spore powder (white/cream/ochre),
- the taste (mild/bitter/acrid),
- colour changes in the flesh,
- the distance from the centre to which the cap skin can be pulled off: (peeling percentage).
- cap colour (but this is often very variable within one species),
- reaction of the flesh to ferrous sulphate (FeSO4), formalin, alkalis, and other chemicals,
- ornamentation of the spores, and
- other microscopic characteristics, such as the appearance of the cystidia in various mounting reagents.
Despite the difficulty in positively identifying collected specimens, the possibility to spot the toxic species by their acrid taste makes some of the mild species, such as R. cyanoxantha and R. vesca, popular edible mushrooms. As far as is known, no species of Russula is deadly poisonous and mild-tasting ones are all edible.[1] Note that this rule applies only to Russulas and not to other types of mushrooms! see http://www.mtsn.tn.it/russulales-news/pdf/macro_form.pdf
The main pattern of toxicity seen among Russula species to date has been gastrointestinal symptoms in those with a bitter taste when eaten raw or undercooked; many of these are red-capped species such as R. emetica, R. sardonia and R. nobilis. However, rhabdomyolysis was seen after consumption of R. subnigricans in Taiwan. Several active agents have been isolated; one designated russuphelin A by researchers in Japan.[2]
- For more examples, see the List of Russula species.
- Russula cyanoxantha - one of the largest species, with blue to greenish cap, mild taste and white, greasy gills.
- Russula emetica - so acrid it can be dried and powdered to make a chilli pepper substitute;
- Russula subnigricans - a poisonous mushroom causing rhabdomyolysis in Taiwan.
- Russula virescens - an excellent mushroom, easily recognizable by the green and distinctly crackled cap cuticle;
- Russula xerampelina - an edible russula that smells and tastes like shrimp or seafood;

"Sometimes not even the GPS can really tell you where you are."
~Karen Nelson
This dear listener with a fine sense of humor submitted the photo above, along with the subsequent caption in response to our show "What We Nurture" with Sylvia Boorstein. During her conversation with Krista, the Jewish-Buddhist teacher and psychotherapist shares this analogy about "recalculating" one's life like a GPS unit:
Dr. Boorstein: I've never said it in a public audience, but I just thought about it recently. I decided that — I'll find out soon if this is a good analogy — but I was thinking about the GPS in my car. It never gets annoyed at me. If I make a mistake, it says, "Recalculating." And then it tells me to make the soonest left turn and go back. I thought to myself, you know, I should write a book and call it "Recalculating" because I think that that's what we're doing all the time.
If something happens, it challenges us and the challenge is, OK, so do you want to get mad now? You could get mad, you could go home, you could make some phone calls, you could tell a few people you can't believe what this person said or that person said. Indignation is tremendously seductive, you know, and to share with other people on the telephone and all that. So to not do it and to say, wait a minute, apropos of you said before, wise effort to say to yourself, wait a minute, this is not the right road. Literally, this is not the right road. There's a fork in the road here. I could become indignant, I could flame up this flame of negativity or I could say, "Recalculating." I'll just go back here.
Ms. Tippett: So this is an example of technology instilling us with spiritual discipline — we find so much to criticize.
Dr. Boorstein: And no matter how many times I don't make that turn, it will continue to say, "Recalculating." The tone of voice will stay the same.
Ms. Tippett: That's good. I think it's a good analogy.

Compact system cases tend to be undeservedly ignored. Most reviews are dedicated to full-size PC enclosures whereas compact ones are left beyond the scope. Consequently, many users do not even think of them as of an option when they go shopping for a new computer case. It is only when talking about an Internet-enabled digital typewriter or a home-made NAS that people ever really recall them. So, today we want to break those stereotypes by showing that a compact PC can be something more than a simple typewriter or a home theater box. In fact, it can accommodate an advanced enough gaming configuration. One factor contributing to this is that modern mainboards come with such a vast selection of integrated devices that many users will only have to add a graphics card to satisfy all their needs. So, if you are not planning to fill your computer up with lots of hard disks and add-on cards, a compact system case can make an interesting option as we have already shown in our earlier reviews of the GMC AVC-S7, GMC R4 Bulldozer, Antec NSK1380 and Aerocool M40.
Yet in this review we want to be as minimalistic as we can and talk about system cases designed for mini-ITX rather than micro-ATX mainboards. This form-factor is considerably different. A mini-ITX mainboard is a square with a side of only 170 millimeters as opposed to a micro-ATX mainboard's 244 millimeters. The assortment of mini-ITX products used to be limited to VIA's mainboards with integrated processor (VIA C3 and C7) but now it has become much broader. You can buy a mini-ITX mainboard with an integrated Intel Atom or AMD Geode processor or with a socket for installing nearly any modern CPU (Socket 775 or AM2/AM3). Some of them are only compatible with CPUs that have a power consumption of up to 65W, i.e. dual-core or power-efficient quad-core models, but others support CPUs consuming up to 90W. Thus, you should have no problems even with rather advanced quad-core CPUs. Considering that some of these mainboards come with a PCI Express x16 slot for a graphics card, you can assemble a decent gaming computer in them. The resulting performance should be more than satisfactory if you are not into gaming: today's chipset-integrated graphics cores cope well with hardware decoding of HD video which is another typical load besides 3D games.
In this review we will discuss five mini-ITX system cases, from just small (those that allow installing a serious dual-slot gaming card) to absolutely tiny (for a low-profile graphics card or even not providing any room for a discrete graphics card at all).
Such system cases are bundled with special power supplies (it is hard to find a compact power supply selling apart from a system case just because such power supplies come in various shapes and sizes as opposed to the standardized ATX power supply), so we will also wind up the description of each by testing its power supply.

May 5, 2008 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Per Participant Rate Increase
SUBJECT 2: New Anthropometric Equipment Available
SUBJECT 3: National Survey of WIC Participants
SUBJECT 4: 2008 WOM Installation
SUBJECT 5: Invitation for FY 2009 Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) Program
- Per Participant Rate Increase: The per participant rate for FY2008 will increase from $9.50 to $10.00 for your contracted caseload retroactive to October 1, 2007. We received additional funding from USDA in an April reallocation and want to pass that increase to local agencies. We know that many agencies are struggling to meet their growing caseloads and hope that additional funds can be used to further compensate for the cost of providing WIC services. The $10.00 per participant rate will be continued in FY2009.
The increased contract amount will be included in the six-month caseload amendment. After the amendment is received, agencies will need to prepare a revised budget to include these extra funds. If you have any questions on this increase or need assistance in revising your budget, please contact your TA staff.
- New Anthropometric Equipment Available: The State WIC Office is preparing to make one-time equipment purchases of anthropometric (infant and adult scales, recumbent measuring board and stadiometer) and hematological (Hemocue analyzer) equipment for local WIC providers. Equipment may be used to replace old/damaged equipment or for equipping a WIC clinic satellite site(s). In addition, each agency will receive a supply of pregnancy wheels and head circumference tapes.
Please complete the attached survey if your agency is interested in receiving new equipment for your WIC clinic(s). The equipment will be shipped directly to your agency. Please provide one complete detailed shipping address and the name of a contact person who will be responsible for receiving the equipment.
The local WIC provider contact will be sent an email confirming their equipment order prior to the final order being placed. Also, they will be sent instructions on reporting receipt of the equipment and adding it to their inventory.
Return the survey to Linda Rost at email@example.com or fax to Linda's attention at 573-526-1470. Surveys are due by May 23, 2008. Questions about equipment can be directed to your TA team.
- National Survey of WIC Participants: USDA has contracted with Macro International to conduct the second National Survey of WIC Participants. The purpose of the study is to gather information on erroneous payments due to WIC certification error in FFY 2008; to provide information on WIC certification policies and operation; and gather information about WIC applicants and participants. The study includes a Web survey of 500 randomly sampled local agencies and a telephone survey of 2,400 WIC participants. Some Missouri local WIC providers and participants will be contacted to participate in this survey. The State office has provided information on all local WIC providers and average monthly caseload by participant category to Macro International. If you have any questions or want more information, please contact Lyn Konstant at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-751-6086.
- 2008 WOM Installation: This is a reminder that the 2008 WOM download is now available through Crystal Reports. If you have not installed the new WOM yet, please do so as soon as possible. Refer to the April 7, 2008 WIC Updates for information on the download of the new WOM. The WOM must be installed and the verification form returned to the state WIC office no later than May 30, 2008.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Melissa Seaver at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573- 751-6489 or 800-392-8209.
- Invitation for FY 2009 Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) Program: If your agency is interested in participating in the FFY09 BFPC program, please see the attached letter and application form. The completed application and BFPC agency plan needs to be submitted to Kathy Mertzlufft by email at email@example.com by fax at 573-526-1470 by June 6, 2008. If you have any questions, please contact her at 573-526-4792.

I have a new favorite app — Wordfoto. Interestingly, it's designed for an iPhone and does not yet have a separate iPad version. A GDS student told me about it.
With Wordfoto I create a word list, and then I have some fun turning the words into art by selecting a picture as a background to highlight my words. I can use an image that comes with the app, choose one of the many pictures in my iPhone photo galleries, or take a new picture. It's even possible to use screen shots. If an image is too cluttered with details, it may not make a good Wordfoto.
When I combine the picture and the word list — voilà! — a cool Wordfoto. Like Instagram, the app comes with a variety of editing options, allowing users to play with the image, crop it, create styles, and fine tune the texture of the pictures. Wordfoto also comes with preset styles that introduce texture, color, and depth variations, making it easy for new users to get started.

Comics: Who Is Dennis Hopeless?
After Marvel made the announcements this week that Dennis Hopeless would be writing two new series (Avengers Arena and Cable and X-Force) for their publication, I was curious to find out who this Mr. Hopeless might be. I had never read anything he had written and I didn't recognize the name, so I thought I would do some research and share it with you all here.
Turns out that Hopeless has written for Marvel before. His first work with Marvel was Legion of Monsters (2011) with Juan Doe. His next was X-Men: Season One (2012) with Jamie McKelvie & Mike Norton. While I can say that I'm not really surprised that I missed his first outing, I am quite ashamed that I missed his second. I do believe (from what other reviewers have said) that X-Men: Season One would be a great jumping on point for all fans looking forward to All-New X-Men due out in a few months.
Hopeless has a tendency to focus on female leads in his writings, as seen in his works Gearhead (2007) for Arcana Comics and Lovestruck (2010) for Image Comics. You'll also notice that both Legion of Monsters and X-Men: Season One have prominent female leads. There are a number of female characters in Avengers Arena and one of my favorite female mercenaries, Domino, is in Cable and X-Force. It is quite nice to see a creator focusing on the female perspective of the superhero genre when this medium has forever been a boys club. It would be nice if we could get more female creators in the mainstream as well (I'm looking at you Axel Alonso and Dan Didio).
Hopeless has received a number of good reviews across his body of work and I, for one, am looking forward to his new books coming out soon. Stay tuned to this fella because he might very well be going places.

Ultegra shifts the best. Even under load.
By Kirby
from Rochester New York
Great price and no better quality. I have an assortment of cassettes. I ride A Felt F1 with 53/39 chain rings. Because of my age 63 and the different areas I ride from very hilly to flat. I have to change cassettes often. I notice no difference from my Dura Ace to Ultegra. I have other bikes that I have tried 105's on but thest a smother shifting up hills with load.

What can I say, this 10-speed Ultegra cassette is just what I expected. Fantastic quality and durability at a non-Dura Ace price.
Great Product!

Replaced a 10 speed 11-28 105 cassette and worked out perfect!
Saddle climber for a little longer.
By Jime
from Seattle
I replaced my 11/25 with an Ultegra 11/28 to climb a little longer in the saddle. Had a bike shop install the new Ultegra chain, 11/28 - 10 speed cassette and tune up. Did a 90 mile ride the next day and was very happy the 28 tooth lets me sit longer and I can climb the steeper stuff standing. It shifts nicely with my Ultegra rear short cage and compact 50/34 dérailluers. Now a riding smarter 66 year old.
Great Shimano product.

This year's North American Racing Academy's (NARA) Outstanding Graduate, Chelsea Heery, knew very little about horse racing when she applied to NARA. She was born in New Jersey and grew up in West Virginia. Heery said she always loved horses and even owned a couple of them. She worked on a horse rescue farm and rode horses that were available for adoption. Then, the summer before her high school freshman year, she began galloping horses at a farm in New Jersey. She began looking online at horse racing and other equine videos. That's when she learned about NARA and saw that hall of fame jockey Chris McCarron was the lead instructor.
When she first came to NARA, Chelsea thought she would become a jockey, but as she got into her class work she changed her mind when NARA remade itself into a racing and breeding industry workforce provider and not just a jockey school. Heery enrolled in NARA's Horseman's Pathway, which focuses primarily on the care and training of horses, while still taking riding classes to acquire additional skills.
"I decided I wanted to learn all aspects of the horse industry," she said. "I want to gallop horses for as long as I can and then move into being an assistant trainer."
This spring, Heery has been living her dream as an exercise rider for trainer Mike Maker during the Keeneland meet. As if that wasn't exciting enough, she was offered a full-time position with the team. Assistant trainer, Joe Sharp, who is Heery's immediate supervisor, said she had a great work ethic.
"They learn a lot at the school, but you really have to get out here and live it, work with the people, work with the horses...that's irreplaceable," Sharp said.
During the Keeneland meet, her day began at the barn at 5 a.m. and she was on her first horse by 6 a.m. She galloped horses until about 10:30 a.m. and then went home to shower and change before the races began. She accompanied horses to the paddock and walked them until they were saddled and the jockey climbs aboard. Although she enjoyed getting to know the horses she worked with, she said she had to remind herself that racing is a business and that she couldn't get too attached to the individual horses because they sometimes are sold.
She said her experience with NARA and her internship at Keeneland were even better than she'd hoped. She credits the instructors and staff for her success and all that she's learned, which she said prepared her well for her new job.
"It's so amazing," she said. "I wake up every morning excited to come to work. It's an indescribable feeling to be on the track galloping horses."
Her advice for anyone considering applying to NARA: "Don't consider it. Do it."
Since its launch in 2006 NARA has seen 51 of its 82 students receive their licenses and join the equine industry workforce after preparing for careers tailored to the care, training and riding of racehorses. Twenty are currently active as professional jockeys competing at tracks across North America.
Originally launched by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, NARA is now part of BCTC and remains the most successful accredited career and training program offering one-year certificates and two-year associates degrees in support of the horse racing and breeding industries.

Collins Lifts Mercy to Another Late Victory
from press release
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – For the second time in four days, the Mercer men's lacrosse team tallied a late fourth quarter goal to capture a one-point victory in enemy territory. On Saturday, junior midfielder Eoin Collins netted the game winner with 3:07 on the clock to lift the Bears over Wagner, 12-11 at Hamline Field.
Mercer's second-straight win lifted the team to 3-2 on the season while Wagner fell to 0-4. Mercer's win also established the program's first winning streak in three years of history.
Eight different Mercer players scored a goal in the winning effort, led by freshman attackman Chris Baxa, who found the net four times. Baxa also added an assist to equal his season-high of five points.
A tight contest throughout saw Mercer enter the final quarter trailing 11-10. With 4:10 to play, junior midfielder Harry Baker assisted Baxa's fourth goal of the afternoon to pull the Bears even at 11-11.
Sophomore midfielder Justin Evans won the ensuing faceoff and junior attackman Zack Ward fired a shot that went wide of its mark. Junior attackmanJohn Avent secured the ground ball, and Collins scored what would ultimately be the winner seven seconds later.
Evans won the next faceoff and Wagner mustered only one shot in the final three minutes of play.
Mercer closed its four-game road trip at 2-2 and will return to action hosting Marquette at the Moye Lacrosse Complex at 2 p.m. on March 12.

Ease wintertime woes with cocktail tips and seasonal recipes from two expert mixologists.
Not a creature was stirring? Not even a mouse? Not where we come from. As far as we're concerned, the holiday season is a time for celebration, never complete without a set of go-to seasonal cocktails for sipping and serving. In search of holiday inspiration, we caught up with Eric Prum and Josh Williams,�authors of new book�Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails�and creators of the Mason Shaker.�Chock full of original recipes and stunning photography,�Shake features an ever-present emphasis on the idea that cocktails should be three things�fun, simple and social. In this Q&A, Eric and Josh shared with us their favorite cold-weather ingredients, plus boozy holiday hosting advice and tips for formulating original drink recipes from your home bar. �Remember the recipes by pinning the cocktails in one pin. Relish: What would you say are the quintessential ingredients and garnishes for the holiday season? Eric & Josh: Around this time of year, we find ourselves mixing cocktails with ingredients that epitomize the holiday season and are well-suited for the arrival of cold weather. Fresh apple cider, ginger, citrus and warm island spices all find their way into our favorite holiday cocktails. Fresh cranberries and dark amber maple syrup are our two secret go-to ingredients during the holidays that are always crowd pleasers. Relish: Do you have any essential "don'ts" when it comes to mixing, serving or ordering cocktails? E & J: Don't be afraid to try something new! Whether you're mixing drinks at home or ordering cocktails at a bar, we are big supporters of trying new flavors. Best case scenario: you find a new favorite cocktail. Worst case scenario: your friends have an extra drink to share. Relish: What tips would you offer up to novice home mixologists for formulating new cocktail recipes of their own? E & J: The best way to begin creating new recipes on your own is to start from a base recipe you have mastered and start tweaking one or two ingredients at a time to put your own twist on the concoction. For instance, first learn how to make a basic bourbon old fashioned, which is simply bourbon, sugar and aromatic bitters with an orange peel garnish. [caption id="attachment_271424" align="aligncenter" width="487"] Spiced Rum Old Fashioned[/caption] Then, to begin crafting your own recipe, you can start switching out the individual elements, such as changing the bourbon to aged rum and the garnish to a wedge of roasted pineapple. The possibilities are endless, but as long as you start with a solid base, your recipe will be a success. Relish: Think holiday hosting�do you have a good rule of thumb for choosing which cocktails and how many options to serve? E & J: We like to serve two options for cocktail parties around the holidays, or any time of year for that matter. We usually choose one darker, richer, higher alcohol cocktail and one lighter, more refreshing recipe so we can offer an option to suit anyone's palate and mood. Relish:�For each of you: If you could choose only one go-to cocktail to serve, order and sip throughout the entire season, what would it be? Josh: I love the Rosemary-Maple Bourbon Sour, which is a rich, herbaceous take on a whiskey sour. [caption id="attachment_271426" align="aligncenter" width="487"] Rosemary Maple Bourbon[/caption] Eric: Mine would be our L Train cocktail, which combines flavors of dried lavender and St. Germain.

Mark Hurd, the chief executive officer of HP that helped to transform the company into the world's largest supplier of personal computers, has joined Oracle, the company that nowadays directly competes against both IBM and HP with its own business-oriented hardware and software.
"Mark did a brilliant job at HP and I expect he'll do even better at Oracle. There is no executive in the IT world with more relevant experience than Mark. Oracle's future is engineering complete and integrated hardware and software systems for the enterprise. Mark pioneered the integration of hardware with software when Teradata was a part of NCR," said Larry Ellison, chief executive officer of Oracle.
Mark V. Hurd has joined Oracle as president and has been named to Oracle's doard of directors. Mr. Hurd will report to Oracle chief executive officer Larry Ellison.
Earlier this year Oracle became the owner of Sun Microsystems and can now offer both hardware and software. Not only Sun Solaris and UltraSPARC technologies already compete against Intel Itanium and HP UX and Sun servers rival against HP servers, but it looks like under Mr. Hurd's execution the competition will intensigy.
"I believe Oracle's strategy of combining software with hardware will enable Oracle to beat IBM in both enterprise servers and storage. Exadata is just the beginning. We have some exciting new systems we are going to announce later this month at Oracle OpenWorld. I'm excited to be a part of the most innovative technology team in the IT industry," said Mark Hurd.

N.D. State Fair Association wants Pioneer Village off fairgrounds
The North Dakota State Fair Association wants to move the Pioneer Village museum off the state fairgrounds and use the vacated land to expand the State Fair.
However, Ward County Historical Society members, who operate the museum, said they don't have the money to relocate the 13 buildings on the grounds and finding land near Minot to relocate the museum could prove difficult. The area's ongoing growth means that land is both scarce and expensive.
The issue came to a head at the regular meeting of the State Fair Board on Thursday, where fair board members refused the Ward County Historical Society immediate permission to move a historic red school house to the museum. The Graham No. 1 country school, built in 1887, was originally located six miles southeast of Foxholm and was the first school in use in Ward County. It was donated to the museum by Robert Sandstrom of Lonetree to replace a country school building damaged in the 2011 Souris River flood. The historical society had planned to move it to the grounds sometime in late December, but the State Fair Board objected because of its own plans for the museum land.
Instead, at its Thursday meeting, the board voted to ask fair board attorney Pete Hankla to draw up a memorandum of understanding between the fair board and the historical society. The agreement is to include a set of terms and conditions under which the school house could be moved to the fairgrounds and who would be responsible for moving it if the Pioneer Village is eventually relocated. The two sides also will agree to discuss relocating the pioneer village. All nine members of the State Fair Board will be asked to vote on the proposal, which would be worked out with the historical society board.
"Like I said, I'm probably going to vote 'no' on the final product anyway," said fair board member Neil Fleming of Cavalier, who made the motion.
Fleming, talking via speaker phone from Florida, spoke at length about his objections to moving the little red school house to the fairgrounds and his negative feelings about the past actions of the Ward County Historical Society.
Fleming said the fair association owns the land that the museum is located on but the historical society has failed to seek permission from the fair board to move buildings to the grounds or for other activities.
Bruce Brooks, treasurer of the historical society, said the current board members have only been on the board for about one year and can't answer for the actions of previous members of the historical society. Brooks said board members were not able to find any documentation that the historical society has ever been expected to ask permission to move buildings onto the site and several buildings have been moved there in the past three decades.
A 1966 contract between the State Fair Association and the organization then known as the Northwest North Dakota Historical Society stated: "That the North Dakota State Fair Association will allow the Northwest North Dakota Historical Society to maintain and operate its building located on the fair grounds."
Fair board members, including Fleming and Chuck Meikle of Spiritwood, appear to interpret that contract as giving the historical society permission to maintain just one building, while historical society members had interpreted the contract as referring to all of the buildings in Pioneer Village.
Pioneer Village was heavily damaged in the 2011 flood and historical society members have been attempting to restore the damaged buildings, focusing first on the exteriors for the sake of appearances. Brooks said the museum received $300,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for restoration work on the building but must come up with a local match. The museum has also been successful in raising about $30,000 from the community to put towards restoration work, said Brooks. In addition, the historical society receives about $21,000 in Ward County tax dollars for museum upkeep.
Ward County Historical Society site director Sue Bergan said the historical society is required by FEMA to carry flood insurance for 25 years on the museum buildings that have been restored.
None of the FEMA dollars can be used to improve or expand the museum, Brooks said, and it could not legally be used to relocate the museum buildings somewhere else. If the museum is required to relocate, there is a chance that FEMA could require the museum to return the $300,000 it received for restoration.
Bergan said it would likely cost more than $1 million just to relocate all of the buildings from the Pioneer Village.
"Is that little piece of land that we're on worth well over $1 million?" asked Bergan.
Gary Knell, Hazen, chairman of the State Fair Board, said the land probably is worth $1 million. The State Fair Association's master plan for the fairgrounds is to eventually build a new convention center in that location that would be attached to the State Fair Center. Knell said the fair board is in a difficult position because it has been directed by the State Fair Association general membership to begin negotiations with the historical society to relocate Pioneer Village. State Fair Manager Renae Korslien said no firm plans have been drawn up for such a convention center, no approval has yet been given and no money is yet available. Knell said the master plan calls for it to be put in place in under five years.
Bergan said she noticed that the land to the south of the museum went largely unused during last year's State Fair. One fair board member said it was used for parking during the evening hours during last year's fair.
Historical society members said they are eager to work with the fair board for the betterment of both the State Fair and the historical society's museum. New historical society board members have ideas about events that could be held on the museum grounds during the State Fair next summer that would attract more people, they said.
"I would love to work with the board," said Bergan. "I don't think there has to be a conflict of ownership."
Angie Thompson, vice president of the Ward County Historical Society, said she doesn't want to see the historical treasures of the Pioneer Village destroyed and says it feels like the State Fair Board is mainly interested in profit. Thompson said visitors love the historic items at the Pioneer Village and have urged historical society members to rebuild the museum after the flood. Brooks said there were more than 1,000 visitors to the museum during last summer's State Fair, who donated more than $1,200 to the museum's flood recovery efforts. That was without the annual picnic that the museum has traditionally held at the museum during the State Fair. Brooks said historical society members want to make the museum as attractive and educational a place as possible.
Fleming and other fair board members said they respect the historical value of the Pioneer Village and believe the buildings ought to be preserved; they just want them relocated.
Brooks said the Ward County Historical Society is willing to begin looking at the possibility of relocating the Pioneer Village, provided that land can be found in Minot so people can still visit the museum in a central location. Locating the museum even five miles outside of Minot would not be good because no one would visit it, he said.
Brooks said the little red school house should be moved to the fairgrounds in the meantime and could be enjoyed by visitors to the museum while future plans for the museum are being discussed. Fair board members seemed afraid that would set a precedent and Hankla, their attorney, warned them that the State Fair Assocaition could be held liable for paying to eventually remove it from the fairgrounds if they allow it to be relocated there.
Historical society members fear that the historic country school that has been donated to the museum could be lost forever if it is not moved to the state fairgrounds soon.
One fair board member suggested that the historical society look into moving the schoolhouse to one of the other pioneer village museums in the county, such as the one in Kenmare, for the time being. Brooks said he doesn't know if any of the other museums have room for the school house or would have the money to relocate the school house.
No decision was made at the State Fair Board meeting about when the board will meet to review the agreement drawn up by Hankla or will vote on whether the historic country school can be moved to the state fairgrounds.

A Dedicated Place for Healing
In our modern society, people aren't given enough time to grieve their losses. The pressures of work and financial concerns both can bring the bereaved back into the workplace far too soon.
Having a permanent place - in a cemetery, mausoleum, or cremation garden - that can be visited regularly by family and friends is an essential part of the time following a death. Such a location is a focal point of memorialization. It provides a consistent place to go to remember your loved one, and to commemorate important occasions. It can help to make a birthday or anniversary less painful.
A permanent place to reflect on your loved one becomes a way of connecting to a family's past. Visiting the resting place of grandparents or great-grandparents can anchor children to their personal history.
Contact us today to speak with one of our directors about your options.

Rated 5 out of 5�by AIDABistro Better than any other practice ball These were recommended by a golf pro, wow, better than I could imagine. True for good and bad shots, you know which is which. January 12, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lonz Great practice balls These are the closest I have seen to real golf balls. I measured out to 120 yards on my property and they hit ( full swing) to the 90-100 mark. Great for practicing a fade or draw. If you are confined to a smaller space, good chipping tool. Notice too when you hit (driver),they give you a nice crisp "TING" sound. Also bright yellow color is easy to find in the taller grass. PRICED HIGH, Approx. $ 1.00 each. $36.00 for 3 doz. 5 STAR RATED. GOING TO PURCHASE MORE September 13, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by FunnyFace81 Good enough These balls travel too far for backyard practice but they do have a more realistic feel than foam or wiggle type practice balls. I only use these if I go somewhere with a lot more space as they will travel a much greater distance. May 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mike Great practice ball in the backyard. These are the best outdoor/indoor practice balls I've come across. While a little on the expensive side for practice balls, these give excellent feedback and have a ball flight similar to a real golf ball. My experience is these balls will fly somewhere around 40% of your normal distance for a given club. If you're going to put in the effort to practice, to yourself a favor and get some quality practice balls. April 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by StevenC Excellent Flight Characteristics I have a large piece of property but not large enough to practice with regular golf balls. These little gems are just the ticket. They have excellent flight characteristics, feel and durability. The only issue I have is that they do go a lot further than 100 yards when using a driver. Quite a few have left my property and ended up in the neighbors yards. In comparison to the Callaway practice balls and some of the other less expensive plastic ones I recommend these. April 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Malc Great product Excellent high nice ball flight. Won't break a thing. Draws and fades. They can go a little over 100 yards March 22, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by gijoe Saves windows Nice balls to practice with if you have a limited practice area. You can get away with hitting a window, and not breaking it. It is subject to a stiff breeze though. Good to practice pitching. March 22, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by GiantsCauseway Better Than Plastic The fly about 60% the distance of a regular ball, they will hook or slice on mis- hits but they're much more susceptible to the wind than a regular golf ball. July 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by SGTGolf Really fun training aid These are great for hitting around the yard, however when used with the longer irons they go a lot further than it states on the back of the box. I normally hit my 4 iron 205-210 and and with these balls I'm getting 180+ yards and ended up losing some in the woods. Besides that they are great and rely mimic true ball flight. July 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Sully9018 Travel farther than I expected I like the feel of the ball, especially with wedges and shorter irons, but didn't feel I could hit my driver and fairway woods as the ball still flies a good distance. Much farther than I anticipated. Would be great if you had an acre or so, but given I live in a densely populated neighborhood, I have to stick to practicing with my irons so I am not chasing balls everywhere or freaking my neighbors out.

Into the Wild
Solo fastpacking the Tahoe Rim Trail
Photo by Rachid Dahnoun
At 6:10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 3, I sidle up to the sign at the South Kingsbury Trailhead, 2,000 feet above the southeast side of California's Lake Tahoe. I'm about to set out on a solo fastpack of the 170-mile Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT), a meandering oval track around the big lake.
My mission is exquisitely simple: run the loop around the blue beast in less than six days. I stand here, thinking, I'll run. I'll power hike. I might cry once or twice. But, hopefully, I'll be back at this spot on schedule.
I've been qualifying everything about this trip with the word "hope." The word is my safety net against superstition, like touching wood or crossing my fingers. I've never traveled 170 miles in six days on foot before. I've never been alone for that long, either. I have, however, been a backpacker since 1997, and took my first fastpacking trip six years ago. I've gone 150 miles on foot in seven days five different times, and I have been alone in the wilds for three full days.
I could have chosen to do the trip with a friend, to do it in nine days or to hike all of it rather than running as much as I'm able. But I wanted a real challenge, not something that I would achieve with relative certainty, something that I would look at with anticipation, hopefulness, intimidation.
I've got the requisite skill set to do this, I feel certain. But anything can happen in a wilderness and, well, at some point it's going to get demanding. I've been reminding myself that my experience is my crutch.
My first few miles will be along the TRT's newest singletrack, which was completed last year. The TRT was a vision of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, a non-profit started in 1981 to plan, build and maintain the trail. The trail itself opened in 2001 but included a bit of paved road and some trail sections that still needed work. With the finishing of this new section, the TRT was officially complete and all singletrack. Beginning a new adventure on a fresh trail just feels right.

Heather Mills seems ok. But, you know Paulie is easily led sometimes. I hope he signs a pre-nup and i hope he keeps focused that this girl is not exactly sweet and innocent. Paul should kept it real with Jane Asher or maybe somebody his own age - i wish the guy mega happiness but i hope he doesn't go through the ringer -
I was watchin' his appearance on SNL in 1993 and it's amazing how much he's aged in past ten years. The guy has been through a ton of stuff.

Adélie Penguin
The Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) is a species of penguin common along the entire Antarctic coast. They are among the most southerly distributed of all seabirds, as are the Emperor Penguin, the South Polar Skua, the Wilson's Storm Petrel, the Snow Petrel, and the Antarctic Petrel. In 1840, French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville named them for his wife, Adèle.
The Adélie Penguin is one of three species in the genus Pygoscelis. Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA evidence suggests the genus split from other penguins around 38 million years ago, about 2 million years after the ancestors of the genus Aptenodytes. In turn, the Adélie penguins split off from the other members of the genus around 19 million years ago.[2]
Distribution and habitat
|This section requires expansion. (February 2010)
There are 38 colonies of Adélie penguins, and there are over 5 million Adélies in the Ross Sea region. Ross Island supports a colony of approximately half a million Adélies. The Adélie penguins breed from October to February on shores around the Antarctic continent. Adélies build rough nests of stones. Two eggs are laid, these are incubated for 32 to 34 days by the parents taking turns (shifts typically last for 12 days). The chicks remain in the nest for 22 days before joining crèches. The chicks moult into their juvenile plumage and go out to sea after 50 to 60 days. Adélie penguins live in groups called colonies.
These penguins are mid-sized, being 46 to 75 cm (18 to 30 in) in length and 3.6 to 6 kg (7.9 to 13 lb) in weight.[3][4] Distinctive marks are the white ring surrounding the eye and the feathers at the base of the bill. These long feathers hide most of the red bill. The tail is a little longer than other penguins' tails. The appearance looks somewhat like a tuxedo. They are a little smaller than other penguin species. Their appearance is closest to the stereotypical image of penguins as mostly black with a white belly.
Adélie penguins can swim up to 45 miles per hour (72 km/h).[citation needed]
Adélie penguins are preyed on by leopard seals, skua, and occasionally, orcas.
Like all penguins, the Adélie is highly social, foraging and nesting in groups. They are also very aggressive to other penguins that steal stones from their nest.
Specifics of their behaviour were documented extensively by Apsley Cherry-Garrard (a survivor of Robert Falcon Scott's fateful final journey to the South Pole) in his book The Worst Journey in the World. Cherry-Garrard noted: "They are extraordinarily like children, these little people of the Antarctic world, either like children or like old men, full of their own importance."[5] Certain displays of their selfishness were commented upon by George Murray Levick, a Royal Navy Surgeon-Lieutenant and scientist who also accompanied Scott on his ill-fated British Antarctic Expedition 1910, during his surveying of penguins in the Antarctic: "At the place where they most often went in [the water], a long terrace of ice about six feet in height ran for some hundreds of yards along the edge of the water, and here, just as on the sea-ice, crowds would stand near the brink. When they had succeeded in pushing one of their number over, all would crane their necks over the edge, and when they saw the pioneer safe in the water, the rest followed."[6]
It was observed how the penguin's intrigue could also put them in harm's way, which Scott found a particular nuisance:
- "The great trouble with [the dog teams] has been due to the fatuous conduct of the penguins. Groups of these have been constantly leaping on to our [ice] floe. From the moment of landing on their feet their whole attitude expressed devouring curiosity and a pig-headed disregard for their own safety. They waddle forward, poking their heads to and fro in their usually absurd way, in spite of a string of howling dogs straining to get at them. "Hulloa!" they seem to say, "here's a game – what do all you ridiculous things want?" And they come a few steps nearer. The dogs make a rush as far as their harness or leashes allow. The penguins are not daunted in the least, but their ruffs go up and they squawk with semblance of anger."[7]
Regularly this attitude lead to the demise of an Adélie penguin, "Then the final fatal steps forward are taken and they come within reach. There is a spring, a squawk, a horrid red patch on the snow, and the incident is closed."[7] Others on the mission to the South Pole were more receptive of this element of the Adélies' intrigue. Cherry-Garrard:
- "Meares and Dimitri exercised the dog-teams out upon the larger floes when we were held up for any length of time. One day a team was tethered by the side of the ship, and a penguin sighted them and hurried from afar off. The dogs became frantic with excitement as he neared them: he supposed it was a greeting, and the louder they barked and the more they strained at their ropes, the faster he bustled to meet them. He was extremely angry with a man who went and saved him from a very sudden end, clinging to his trousers with his beak, and furiously beating his shins with his flippers."[8]
This was an occurrence of some regularity, "It was not an uncommon sight to see a little Adélie penguin standing within a few inches of the nose of a dog which was almost frantic with desire and passion."[8]
Due to their obstinate personality traits Cherry-Garrard held the birds in great regard, "Whatever [an Adélie] penguin does has individuality, and he lays bare his whole life for all to see. He cannot fly away. And because he is quaint in all that he does, but still more because he is fighting against bigger odds than any other bird, and fighting always with the most gallant pluck."[9]
The Adélie penguin is known to feed mainly on Antarctic krill, ice krill, Antarctic silverfish, and Glacial Squid (diet varies depending on geographic location) during the chick-rearing season. The stable isotope record of fossil eggshell accumulated in colonies over the last 38,000 years reveals a sudden change from a fish-based diet to krill that started two hundred years ago. This is most likely due to the decline of the Antarctic Fur Seal since the late 18th century and Baleen whales in the 20th century. The reduction of competition from these predators has resulted in a surplus of krill, which the penguins now exploit as an easier source of food.[10]
Adélie penguins arrive at their breeding grounds in October or November, at the end of winter and the start of spring. Their nests consist of stones piled together. In December, the warmest month in Antarctica (about −2 °C or 28 °F), the parents take turns incubating the egg; one goes to feed and the other stays to warm the egg. The parent who is incubating does not eat. In March, the adults and their young return to the sea. The Adélie penguin lives on sea ice but needs the ice-free land to breed. With a reduction in sea ice and a scarcity of food, populations of the Adélie penguin have dropped by 65% over the past 25 years.[11]
Young Adélie penguins who have no experience in social interaction may react to false cues when the penguins gather to breed. They may, for instance, attempt to mate with other males, with young chicks or with dead females. On account of the birds' relatively human-like appearance and behavior, human observers have interpreted this behavior anthropomorphically as sexual deviance. The first to record such behavior was Dr Levick, in 1911 and 1912, but his notes were deemed too indecent for publication at the time; they were rediscovered and published in 2012. "The pamphlet, declined for publication with the official Scott expedition reports, commented on the frequency of sexual activity, auto-erotic behaviour, and seemingly aberrant behaviour of young unpaired males and females, including necrophilia, sexual coercion, sexual and physical abuse of chicks and homosexual behaviour," states the analysis written by Douglas Russell and colleagues William Sladen and David Ainley. "His observations were, however, accurate, valid and, with the benefit of hindsight, deserving of publication."[12][13] Levick observed the Adélie penguins at Cape Adare, the site of the largest Adelie penguin rookery in the world.[14] As of June 2012[update], he has been the only one to study this particular colony and he observed it for an entire breeding cycle.[13] The discovery significantly illuminates the behaviour of the species that some researchers[15] believe to be an indicator of climate change.[13]
Adélie penguins living in the Ross Sea region in Antarctica and migrate an average of about 13,000 kilometres (8,100 mi) during the year as they follow the sun from their breeding colonies to winter foraging grounds and back again. The longest treks have been recorded at 17,600 kilometres (10,900 mi).[16]

Learning to fly encompasses trying to master a broad range of new skills and tasks. While some pilots want nothing more than to be able to fly solo on a weekend afternoon or fly from one small airport to another, others want to reap the full benefit of what flying can bring.
A big part of maximizing that benefit is learning how to utilize air traffic control (ATC). Recall that if you are working toward your private certificate, you are required to have at least a minimal interaction with the controllers on the other end of the radio.
There are a number of good sources that you can use to learn the proper phraseology and techniques for radio communication. The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) is probably the most convenient place to start, but it isn't necessarily the best learning tool. Other books have been written, and over the years, radio communication software for computers has sprung up. While I haven't used one of these personally, I have no doubt that they are quite good given the advances in computing power these days.
But there is another source that exists. It isn't structured and it doesn't allow you to respond to commands per se, but it will help you. The source is the website LiveATC.net. LiveATC is just that: It's a live feed from facilities all over the country, and you select which frequency at which airport you want to monitor.
If you are still new to the ATC world, remember the order in which you talk to controllers: clearance delivery, ground control, the tower proper, departure control, center, approach, the tower again, and then ground again. In slow periods, the same controller may function in multiple roles (ground and tower or approach and departure), so you may recognize the same voice answering to different requests.
At major airports, you will do well to focus on one frequency for a while, the busiest being approach and departure. If you start with something on the ground, you might be able to follow a specific flight for a while.
While you cannot actually participate in Live ATC, you can learn how the cadence and process works. You'll also realize that even the best pilots and controllers make mistakes, and even the most harried controllers have a sense of humor (try a YouTube search for a bad day at JFK). LiveATC can be a great learning tool, especially from the comfort of your living room, for understanding the processes and language of busy airspace. In spite of the machine-gun chatter, you'll find that there really is order in the chaos and it isn't as difficult as it seems.
Another feature that is very cool about LiveATC is that you can download clips to your computer. That means that after you fly (there is a time limit) you can pull down all of your own transmissions and save them.
Check it out at varying times of the day, and choose a few airports when you know the weather is good and when you know the weather is bad. You will get a good feel for the on-the-go adaptations that need to be made as conditions constantly change. Then, after you have flown, download your own transmissions and see how you stack up!—Chip Wright

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Cairo on November 20-21, 2012. She met with regional leaders, including with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas, and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, to consult on the situation in Gaza.
Today, while in Cairo, Secretary Clinton and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr announced an agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza. Secretary Clinton said:
"...I want to thank President Morsi for his personal leadership to de-escalate the situation in Gaza and end the violence. This is a critical moment for the region. Egypt's new government is assuming the responsibility and leadership that has long made this country a cornerstone of regional stability and peace. The United States welcomes the agreement today for a ceasefire in Gaza. For it to hold, the rocket attacks must end, a broader calm return.
"The people of this region deserve the chance to live free from fear and violence, and today's agreement is a step in the right direction that we should build on. Now we have to focus on reaching a durable outcome that promotes regional stability and advances the security, dignity, and legitimate aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis alike. President Morsi and I discussed how the United States and Egypt can work together to support the next steps in that process. In the days ahead, the United States will work with partners across the region to consolidate this progress, improve conditions for the people of Gaza, and provide security for the people of Israel. Ultimately, every step must move us toward a comprehensive peace for all the people of the region.
"As I discussed today with President Morsi, as well as Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas, there is no substitute for a just and lasting peace. Now that there is a ceasefire, I am looking forward to working with the Foreign Minister and others to move this process."

Justified violence is sometimes a necessary evil, but not of absolute necessity. A few people in both sides WANT violence, and turn it necessary. The intelligent ones in both sides must struggle for more influence and work for a way out of it.

Maybe, they should sit-down and discuss things over dinner like families do.

Yes there is a cease fire, but there is no freedom for Gaza. Please research more and STOP U.S. aid to Israel. If they didn't have U.S. in their back pocket, they would not be able to get away with this. this is not a "poor country getting bombs rained down on them" this is a genocidal maniac country! and we need to stop supporting that.
