The Apprentice - Season 12 Episodes
"Hero Worship"
Celebrity Apprentice returns with its biggest competition ever, when 18 celebrities - musicians, comedians, movie stars and more - go head to head.
"Getting Medieval"
The teams produce and perform a medieval-theme show for an audience, yet an insubordinate contestant and a serious injury mar the task.
"How Much Is That Celebrity in the Window?"
The players have to produce themed living Lord and Taylor display windows featuring Ivanka trumps fashion line. The boys don't quite get women's fashion like the girls do.
"Failure to Launch"
The star players rev up to produce a live event spotlighting a new Buick vehicle, but one team is in danger of stalling out when the choice for project manager is questioned. Meanwhile, a deep division develops in the other team.
"I'm Going to Mop the Floor with You"
The celebrity players are assigned to write and produce a viral video promoting a mop. It's risqué business when one team hatches a lusty concept. Meanwhile, serious divisions mar the other team.
"Party Like a Mock-Star"
The Celebrities' hosting skills are put to the test when Mr. Trump tasks the teams with putting on a party to promote Crystal Light. One team creates the ultimate beach experience, complete with beach balls and bikini babes, while the other team creates an exotic Garden of Eden. The executives have a difficult decision on their hands, but one team emerges victorious and Donald Trump fires another celebrity. Boardroom advisors: Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. Special guests Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.
"Walking Papers"
The teams take on two tasks, and two Celebrities are fired. It all begins when Mr. Trump tasks the teams with creating and selling a Celebrity guidebook on New York City. With a big bonus on the line, special guest Regis Philbin judges the teams' books. Despite the added incentive, one Project Manager neglects the quality of their book, while the other team struggles just to get theirs completed in time. An explosive boardroom leads to another Celebrity being fired. The evening continues, as the teams create an interactive health segment for Walgreens. Before the Celebrities can even begin their task, Mr. Trump switches up the teams. One Project Manager struggles to maintain control of an insubordinate teammate, while the other team tries to complete the task with a Celebrity missing. Before anyone is even fired, Mr. Trump witnesses one of the season's biggest Boardroom battles, resulting in one Celebrity going AWOL.
"Ad Hawk"
Still reeling from last week's dramatic Boardroom, one Celebrity goes on an emotional tirade against a teammate. With the whereabouts of an AWOL Celebrity still unknown, a verbal firestorm ignites. For their task, teams must write, produce, and direct a 60-second commercial for Entertainment.com. In the end, one team hits the mark, and the other team is left to fight it out in the boardroom, where another celebrity is sent packing. Boardroom advisors: Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. Special guest Magic Johnson.
"Puppet Up!"
This week, the teams must create their own puppets and perform in front of a live audience for Henson Alternative's "Stuffed and Unstrung" improv show. One outspoken Celebrity struggles to be a team player. On the other team, another Celebrity fights for a role in the task, but is marginalized and has a breakdown. Both teams put their improvisational skills to the test, but only one is declared the winner and another Celebrity hears Donald Trump's dreaded words, "You're fired!"
"Winning by a Nose"
Donald Trump invites the celebrities to his luxurious penthouse apartment, where he gives them their next task, to create an in-store display for his new fragrance, "Success." A rematch between two sparring Project Managers ensues, as they compete to win $100,000 for their charities. One team worries about an indecisive leader. The other team's Project Manager sells out their team to Eric Trump. In the end, The Donald fires another celebrity.
"Jingle All the Way Home"
The teams are tasked with writing and performing a new jingle for Good Sam. It's deja vu for one team, whose Project Manager struggles with a power-usurping teammate. On the other team, a mutiny results in some of the season's biggest fireworks when the team hijacks the task away from the Project Manager. It all comes down to the performances, and the celebrities must sing their hearts out to get the win. In the Boardroom, one team is declared the victor, and Mr. Trump sends another celebrity packing. Boardroom advisors: Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
"Blown Away"
The remaining five celebrities embark on their penultimate task, to create a print ad campaign for the new "CHI Touch" Digital Touchscreen Hair Dryer. With nothing left to lose, both teams go all out, but in completely different directions. The executives pick their winner, and Donald Trump fires another celebrity. Their victory is short lived, when the Final Four are summoned back to the Boardroom, where Mr. Trump sends them to the most important job interview of their lives. Returning Celebrity Apprentice, John Rich, and runner up, Marlee Matlin grill the celebrities and make their recommendations to Donald Trump, who is left with a difficult decision: who will be the final two.
"And Then There Were Two"
The two finalists must embark on the biggest task yet. They must create, host, and sell tickets to a celebrity charity event, featuring a charity awareness ad and a variety show, starring none other than themselves. With eight celebrities returning to help them, the two finalists must rely on everything they've learned all season to win the ultimate prize: $250,000 for their charity, and the title of The Celebrity Apprentice. With time running out, one finalist finds they don't have the footage needed to edit their charity awareness ad, while the other finalist goes head to head with a returning celebrity.
"And the Winner Is ..."
Live from New York City, it's The Celebrity Apprentice season finale. The finalists scramble to finish in time for their celebrity charity event, and for the first time ever, the two finalists must work together to make sure their variety show goes off without a hitch. With 10 Celebrities performing, it's the biggest finale event to date. In the end, Donald Trump makes his final decision, live who will be fired, and who will become The Celebrity Apprentice.

Four candidates are running for three seats on the Danville Town Council: incumbents Newell Arnerich, Candace Anderson and Mike Doyle; and challenger Marianne Bordogna. After carefully watching the Danville political scene for the last three-and-a-half years we think the incumbents have proven to be effective leaders, working well with town staff for the good of the town with a tight budget while the population continues to grow. They share a vision for the town, including fiscal responsibility, protection of open space and improving transportation.

Give CandyAnn more free time to pursue her "agenda". Don't re-elect her. Give someone else a chance to serve on the Council. Remember, all these incumbents were new members at one time or another. So, take a chance on someone new again. Change is a good thing. Keeps things fresh!

Accommodation summary
|Roonstraße, 50674 Köln, ドイツ
In the heart of Cologne, very quiet 80 sqm apartment with shower, gas central heating, cable TV, kitchen with gas stove and oven, and with many details to discover, and experience terror. The scene and, unique and lovable. I offer sleeping facilities for two persons. Here you are correctly if you want to discover the gay Cologne. I am at with words, often with assistance.
Also like to bike hire!
The apartment is located nearby (3 minutes) of the subway stations and Moltkestraße Zülpicher place. and 5 minutes walk from the Rudolf place, very central (downtown) 2 min to the bus.
The property is located in the new city of Cologne. This district lies down in a semicircle around the old town. The name should not be fooled - the majority of building the new town are only compared to the old "new," is dominated by buildings from the period. The shops, cafes, clubs and bars in the neighborhood are much more recent. The Belgian Quarter and the adjacent area to apply the Friesenplatz example, as the hottest party in Cologne miles.
Also offers the traffic-Neustadt best conditions. The U 15 runs in a semicircle through the entire quarter, so that you can reach all areas quickly. It is close to downtown connections to go out in literally every direction. The city center with all its historic attractions is just around the corner, and run who do not want to have in half a dozen subway lines selection.

We were very shocked and disappointed with the apartment which was extremely cluttered with personal belongings, and lots of clothing , boxes of records and other personal belongings along the length of the vey long narrow passageway leading into the living area of the apartment. In places the hallway was reduced to less than half its width because of the clutter. The stove in the kitchen was unusable because the top of the stove was completely covered in bottles, etc., as were most of the benchtops. The kitchen hot water unit was unusable, as we were warned by an attached notice. The small fridge in the kitchen was half full of Andreas's supplies. Could not see a dryer and the washing machine was in a cupboard where there was dirty personal linen and other cluttering items. The W.C. smelled of urine with a grubby toilet mat on the floor. In the bathroom, kitchen and toilet there were inumerable bottles and spraypacks of cleaning materials. Numerous pairs of shoes, slippers and other footwear were stored round-about the apartment. In the living area it was difficulty to move around because of the exercise bike, vacuum cleaner and bulky furniture in the room .
The bathroom was cluttered with numerous personal toiletries, cleaning materials on shelves and on the floor. The handbasin was cracked.
The bed shown in the photograph in a nook was actually just a mattres on the floor between a large , bulky cupboard and the wall. To access the "bed " one had to crawl over the bed in this narrow space. The second single bed was a low collapsible bed unfolding from a storage cupboard. It was hard and uncomfortable and difficulty to sleep on, restricting movement in the already cluttered room.
On the walls throughout the apartment were several photos of the host posing stark naked, revealing all, as well as very many other personal photos. My wife, 72 and I, 75 were shocked to find we had to haul our suitcases up three long flights of stairs. There were no indications of this in the advertisement for the apartment.
The entrance to the building was badly neglected and covered in old graphiti.
When we return home we can provide photos showing some of these conditions, if required. We considerate the advertising of this apartment was very misleading, and that we should received a refund for a very unsatisfactory stay.
After re-reading the ad, we perceived there were several double meanings in the ad. We do not considerate your website a suitable place for advertising this apartment.
Looking forward to your followed-up and response.
Andreas is a very hospitable host. The apartment is large and comfortable. The location is perfect, central but quiet with nice balcony. Have a nice stay in Cologne.
Andreas was a very kind host, very welcoming, I highly recommand his appartment if you have to travel to Köln some day
Staying in Andrea's place was great. He's a good and helpful host, the apartment is good, and I think it's a good deal staying there, because this house is really central in the city, and you can reach every part of Koln easily.

comScore, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2014 Results
Strong Revenue Growth and Key Partnerships Reflect Continued Business Momentum
RESTON, VA - April 29, 2014 - comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2014.
First Quarter 2014
comScore achieved record quarterly revenue of $76.9 million; GAAP loss before income taxes of $0.7 million; and GAAP net loss of $0.8 million, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share.
First quarter 2014 metrics compared to pro forma* results for the first quarter 2013 were as follows:
- First quarter revenue of $76.9 million, up 14% from a year ago.
- First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $15.4 million, up 22% from a year ago.
- First quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20% of revenue, up from 19% from a year ago.
* comScore divested its Non-Health Copy Testing and Configuration Manager products in March 2013. All amounts, including implied prior year Pro Forma amounts, reflect adjustments to exclude the Non-Health Copy Testing and Configuration Manager products for the purposes of consistent presentation and are based on management's estimates of the revenue and results of operations of such products. See Reconciliation of Revenue and Income before Income Taxes to Non-GAAP Revenue, non-GAAP Income and Adjusted EBITDA set forth in the attachment to this press release.
Serge Matta, comScore's chief executive officer, said, "I am proud of the strong growth we drove in revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Our strategic priorities continue to gain momentum, as demonstrated by our recently announced long-term partnership with Yahoo to provide TV comparable metrics on digital, video and mobile analytics to their global advertiser base. Our product teams are hard at work, with the Google vCE development and integration, and the syndication of our Total Video measurement solution, all expected to be on-time before the end of the year. We remain focused on driving the business forward with sharp execution and a strong value proposition for our clients, partners and shareholders in 2014 and beyond."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
comScore reports all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). comScore believes, however, that evaluating its ongoing operating results will be enhanced if it also discloses certain non-GAAP information because it is useful to understand comScore's performance, as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors believe may obscure comScore's on-going operating results.
For example, comScore uses non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of intangible assets, impairment of marketable securities, costs from acquisitions, restructurings and other non-recurring items, the non-cash deferred tax provision and litigation and related settlement costs. comScore reports non-GAAP EPS (diluted), which uses non-GAAP net income in lieu of GAAP net income in calculating earnings per share. Non-GAAP pro forma revenue excludes the estimated effects of revenue generated from non-health copy testing and configuration manager products. Adjusted pro forma EBITDA also excludes the estimated effects of operations related to Non-Health Copy Testing and Configuration Manager products.
The company believes that excluding certain costs from non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful indication to investors of the expected on-going operating performance of the company. Specifically as it relates to acquisitions and restructurings, the exclusion of these costs reflects the expected benefits realized or to be realized upon the integration of acquired entities into comScore, and the realized benefits of the restructurings.
Whenever comScore uses such historical non-GAAP financial measures, it provides a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure included in the financial tables accompanying this release. Although the company provides a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income, such as tax rates and stock price, comScore is unable to provide a complete reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts. However, a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to GAAP income (loss) before income taxes is set forth in the attachment to this press release.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. The use of certain non-GAAP financial measures requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. comScore bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, comScore's expectations as to adoption of new products and services by customers; expectations regarding continued growth of its customer base; expectations as to the company's strategy, market position, growth in revenue and margin expansion, impact and financial benefits of certain products, expectations as to the benefits of comScore's partnerships, with Google and Yahoo; expectations and forecasts of future financial performance, including related growth rates and components thereof; and assumptions related to growth for the second quarter and full year of 2014 and beyond. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to: comScore's ability to generate strong revenue and margin growth in future periods; comScore's ability to sell new or additional products and attract new customers; comScore's ability to sell additional subscription-based products to customers; comScore's dependence on key partnership arrangements, comScore's ability to sell additional products and services to existing customers; and the volatility of quarterly results and expectations.
For a detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, please refer to comScore's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and other filings we make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which are available on the SEC's Web site (http://www.sec.gov).
Stockholders of comScore are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. comScore does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after the date of this press release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Progressive Lab's C-M-K Citrate is a mineral supplement that features calcium' magnesium' and potassium to help you maintain healthy levels of these essential minerals.
Calcium Supplements are formulated to help people who don't get enough calcium in their diet. People with calcium deficient diets have low levels of the essential mineral in their blood' which is an issue because calcium is integral to numerous bodily functions like muscle contractions' nerve impulses' and bone health. Now' the issue arises when our bodies require calcium for one of these essential functions and there just isn't enough mineral in the blood. Because of this' our body will begin to steal calcium from our bones to resume normal function. This weakens our bones and make us more susceptible to bone conditions brought on by weak or low-density bones' such as osteoporosis. That's why Progressive Labs' mineral supplements' C-M-K Citrate' are formulated with 100 mg of calcium.
Individuals with a poor diet may not be getting enough magnesium' which is a problem since magnesium is essential for many bodily functions like regulating blood pressure and supporting bone health. In addition to poor diet' certain medical conditions can cause a low levels of magnesium' which is why a magnesium supplement may be necessary. In order to maintain a healthy level of magnesium in the blood' C-M-K Citrate mineral supplements feature 100 mg of magnesium.
Potassium is a mineral that is essential for promoting heart' kidney' and other organs' health. Some people also take potassium supplements to possibly prevent gout and kidney stones by making urine less acidic' which then in turn allows our kidneys to rid themselves of uric acid.
Progressive Labs has been a family owned manufacturer and distributor of nutritional supplements for 40 years. Progressive Labs has supplied over 25'000 customers with professional grade vitamins' herbals' and dietary supplements.

My second year warre had a small harvest and my first year foundationless langs had a harvest. So what's the deal? I can't get my bees to build comb past about two thirds from the entrance. Maybe next year will be different, but after watching my warre and Lang outperform both of my tbhs...I am about to give up. I really love working my tbhs. The bees seem to be calmer and I squish much less bees, but maybe it's time to transfer bees over and convert the wooden ware.

Geoffrey West:
The surprising math of cities and corporations
Physicist Geoffrey West has found that simple, mathematical laws govern the properties of cities — that wealth, crime rate, walking speed and many other aspects of a city can be deduced from a single number: the city's population. In this mind-bending talk from TEDGlobal he shows how it works and how similar laws hold for organisms and corporations.

text: 1992 Chevrolet Suburban C1500 w/5.7L This Suburban has seen very little miles for several years. Was seriously thinking of selling it recently, as it's had several mechanical issues creep up over the years and they have not been addressed. BUT one major issue with the tranmission seems to have not been a big issue at all...so now I'm having fun cleaning it up and trying to tackle some of its other problems. This is what I want to try to fix next: Temp. gauge on dash stays completely at the far left/bottom. On startup (when key turned to start) the guage will briefly peg out to far right, but returns to left as soon as engine starts. I've done the obvious things I could think of : checked coolant level (Overflow reservoir was empty, so I filled it to the "cold fill" line. I only had to add a little bit to the radiator itself though, so I don't think the level was low enough to be a problem...) checked fuses (Didn't notice anything blown, and all the other guages are working, so I don't think this would be it either.) I tired searching but did not come across this exact issue. If there is a thread out there I missed, please point me in the right direction. I did read about a sensor located near the first spark plug. I found it, and its connector and one wire seem to be intact. Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!:happy:

No test cricketer should feel his place in the side is secure.
At least that's the old line. A small group of players, with names like Hadlee, Lara, Tendulkar, Warne, Botham, Richards of recent vintage, would have been well within their rights to assume their positions were rather safer than some of their team.
But as a general rule of thumb it's a pretty decent philosophy in terms of trying to draw the best out of players.
There are New Zealand players down the years, and indeed even now, who have felt safer than they should simply because of a shortage of challengers pressing for a place.
Very few of the New Zealand squad for the two tests against Sri Lanka starting tonight should be feeling too cosy, and perhaps the player reckoning he needs to perform more than most is Kruger van Wyk.
Being New Zealand's test wicketkeeper has been a precarious business since Brendon McCullum decided two and a half years ago that he wanted to be a specialist batsman and hung up the test gloves.
Auckland captain Gareth Hopkins played four tests - one was in England four years ago, when McCullum had a back injury, plus the series in India later in 2010 - before being shunted aside. His batting average was 11.83, albeit in demanding circumstances.
Reece Young was then given a chance last year. He had five tests against Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Australia, averaged 24.14 before being abruptly cast aside, albeit after an average series across the Tasman.
And so van Wyk got his chance in Dunedin against South Africa, land of his birth, last March.
He got a lucky break, in that BJ Watling was to don the gloves and add to his eight tests - only one of which was as a specialist wicketkeeper, when he hit a century against Zimbabwe last season - only to hurt a hip the morning before the test.
Van Wyk has been the encumbent for the past seven tests. He's averaging 23.07, his latest test, in Bangalore in August, produced a solid double of 71 and 31 and his glovework has been pretty steady.
But the little Central Districts man could be forgiven for looking over his shoulder.
There, he'll find the resurgent Watling, on the back of strong ODI batting form, plus having the keeping job in the 50-over form; and Wellington's Australian transfer Luke Ronchi.
It's not hard to find those willing to pronounce Otago captain Derek de Boorder as the best gloveman going in the domestic game. He snaffled nine catches in the draw at Hamilton this month, averages 38 in first-class cricket and has just turned 27.
Ronchi played seven limited-overs internationals for Australia in the 2008-09 season before being moved on. His game is more suited to the shorter forms. He is eligible for New Zealand from mid-January.
There are interesting times in the keeping department.
National selection manager Kim Littlejohn dropped a broad hint before the squad left for Sri Lanka about his and coach Mike Hesson's thinking. "We're about showing some faith in the players who have done the business for us. The message is about stability in building a team."
That sounds like good news for van Wyk - at least as long as he delivers a strong standard of work. A queue is building behind him.

Got me. Years ago - I preferred metal guns because they decreased recoil. In fact, in 2005, I went with another Beretta Inox Vertec when comparing the Beretta to a Glock 34. The metal frame soaked up that recoil. Later, though, that Vertec proved to really and truly suck.
Now, though, all 6 of my guns are polymer guns. I have no metal ones. Over the years since 1993, I have gone thru many, many handguns. Probably 20-25 easily. The ones I like now all happen to be polymer, much to the chagrin of the local 1911 lovers here

Gun shop owners fuming about new legislation
Gun shop owners in Colorado Springs are fuming about the new gun control legislation. Some owners claim the laws will drive them out of business while others are pushing to make deals before the laws go into effect.
Dean Cimino, owner of Cimino Sales LLC, is waiving a $20 dealer transfer fee for his customers.
"If they order something and have it brought in between now and the time the laws are signed in, it has to be 15-round or higher, I'll waive the $20 fee. Some things are more important than money and we need to stand with each other," said Cimino.
Cimino said while his business may be affected as far as what he can sell, "I'm not going to run. This is my home," he said.
Other businesses in the gun industry don't have the same luxury.
"It's going to put me out of business," said Thomas Gautreaux, owner of Great American Pawn.
Gautreaux said most of his business is pawning and selling weapons with 15-round magazines, which could be banned if passed in the state house. His concern is with changeable magazines.
"So on the 10-round magazine, you take the base plate out and that becomes a 30-round magazine, and that magazine will now be illegal," said Gautreaux.
He is also concerned with the background check bill which would require him to do the background checks himself and only charge what the state charges.
"I'll spend my whole day doing that, rather than conducting business," said Gautreaux.
He said he fears gun control will only get worse in Colorado so he is closing the pawn shop in the next couple of months.
KRDO Newschannel 13 also spoke to Jeff Lepp, owner of Specialty Sports, who said he will not be opening two additional stores in Colorado because of the gun legislation passed. Lepp said he is also moving his corporate assets out of state. The store location on 4285 E. Fountain Blvd. will remain open.

|Re: st: -graph bar, over()- question and bug report
|Tue, 19 Aug 2003 10:06:10 -0500
Friedrich Huebler <firstname.lastname@example.com> asked last week about emphasizing a range of the x-axis (categorical axis) in a stacked bar graph. > How can I emphasize some of the groups in a -graph bar, over()- > graph?

Friedrich also noted a bug, when using the -text()- option with some single letters. > Now to the bug report. I thought about creating a vertical line with > the letters I or l but this leads to an error message. > > . graph bar le_w le_b, over(year) stack text(2 18 "I" 2 55 "I") > invalid syntax r(198); > > The same error message appears when the letters i, j, or l are used. > [...] Let me take the bug first. We gave some confusing advice about the -text()- option with -graph bar-, so let's also clear that up. The -text()- option is allowed after -graph bar- and the caveat about using a range between 0 and 100 for the range of the "x" value in the plotregion is correct. The error that Friedrich shows us is the result of a bug, and a subtle one at that. It has to do with the small width of the single letters being plotted. The bug has been fixed, but it required a change the Stata executable, and the fix has not yet been certified. We were already planning an executable update in about 2 weeks and I would like to hold this fix for that update. There is an interesting work around that Friedrich could try in the interim -- specify a larger font so that the small text width does not trigger the bug. His graph command might become . graph bar le_w le_b, over(year) stack text(2 18 "I" 2 55 "I" , size(*1.3)) I do have one suggestion about highlighting the axis labels for the year 1902 through 1905. It is admittedly not elegant and it required some fiddling to find the right position for things, but the basic idea is to place some color patches under tick labels using, believe it or not, the -text()- option. Using Friedrich's example, the command would be something like, . graph bar le_w le_b, over(year) stack /// text(-3 22.0 " ", box bcolor(yellow)) /// text(-3 31.5 " ", box bcolor(yellow)) /// text(-3 41.0 " ", box bcolor(yellow)) /// text(-3 50.0 " ", box bcolor(yellow)) We graph outside the plotregion by using a negative "y" position (-3) and plot an empty string with a yellow background box. My first idea was to not use a background box, but to write the actual label string in a different color. Unfortunately the text boxes are written before the axis labels and so the axis labels over wrote the nicely colored custom "labels". As an alternative, Friedrich might prefer a single long patch of yellow (or another color) rather than highlighting each label individually. He could get that with a single long set of spaces placed at the location of the first -text()- option in the command above. -- Vince email@example.com * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Russian channel taken off air, accused of crossing 'red line'
Late last month, as thousands of international journalists prepared to descend on Sochi to cover the Winter Olympics, the Kremlin resorted to using a controversy to silence a critical television station. A direct move to shut down the station would have been too blunt--particularly at a time when all eyes were on Russia--so authorities resorted to exploiting a producer's blunder, blowing it out of proportion, and pushing a third party to do their bidding. This is what happened.

The author is the dairy development manager for Vita Plus of Madison, Wis. He is a member of the board of directors with Citizens State Bank of Loyal, Wis.
There is generally good feedback on articles that I submit to Hoard's Dairyman. I must admit the comments have been exceptionally heavy regarding my September 25, 2011, article, "Stress test potential land purchases" found on page 600. Comments came from sellers, buyers, lenders, attorneys, and many others.
Since the September article, there has been a new record farmland sale set in Iowa at $16,750 per acre. A few weeks later, I attended a two-day business meeting in October where a lender shared a land price projection for 2020 of $22,000 an acre for the Hawkeye state.
I am certainly not promoting an escalation in land values. Federal agencies and lenders in general are concerned about a land bubble and rightfully so. Current sales are running high for a variety of reasons, including: people with strong balance sheets, low interest rates, a need for a continued nutrient management plan, and land close to the dairy buildings.
Recently, I had an interesting discussion with a southeastern Wisconsin dairyman. He drew circles around his dairy in a one- to five-mile radius. Our discussion began with the reasoning of hauling one semi-load of corn silage per acre from a field and returning 16,000 gallons of manure per acre back to the field.
If a dragline is used to get manure onto a field, these costs are incurred:
If you do the math, 16,000 gallons of manure multiplied by 1 cent per gallon equals $160 per mile. Using his math, he could justify paying an extra $160 more per acre as he moved from one to five miles closer to his dairy farm. In other words, land that comes up next door is worth $800 more per acre than land five miles away.
If the manure is trucked rather than using a dragline, 0.6 cent is added per gallon of manure for each mile.
Now a dairy producer and potential land buyer will have to do their own math on what the additional value of an acre of land is the closer it is to the dairy. More lender discussion and financial analysis needs to be done, as well. This is another way to look at what land is worth to you.

UTSA student organization conducts teacher tour to promote interest in science
By Bronwyn Wingo
Special Projects Writer, UTSA '05
(July 5, 2005)--The UTSA student organization, Biosciences Ph.D. Students (BiPS), hosted its annual BiPS teacher tours June 9 for participants from across the United States.
Each year, BiPS organizes a tour of the UTSA 1604 Campus for nearly 100 teachers at various levels to offer a first-hand look at the latest ways to educate students about the brain.

Jensen Learning Corp., which offers staff development resources, organizes the trips to help teachers learn about brain functions and the areas of the brain associated with learning.
The highlight of the annual tours is a hands-on brain lecture by Edwin Barea-Rodriguez, UTSA associate professor of biology. Tour members are given a basic explanation of the brain's parts, and then examine rat and human brains.
"We've been learning about how the different parts of the brain are related to learning," said Aimee Evans, a teacher from Conway, Ark., on the tour. "I don't know a word other than 'cool' to describe what it has been like to be able to come here and see all the different parts of the brain we have been studying."
Although Jensen takes the group to several campuses during the weeklong training session, UTSA is a favorite. "I picked UTSA because they are so strong in biology, but I think community outreach is important, too," says Eric Jensen, co-founder of Jensen Learning. "Many universities or institutes begrudgingly share with outsiders, but at UTSA, they love it."
BiPS students are enthusiastic about having teachers on campus. "The tours are a good opportunity to show teachers what brain research is and dispel that notion of a Frankenstein-type research lab," says BiPS member Brandon Goertz. "Ideally, we hope they take back some inspiration for the kids toward science. Fewer children are studying math and science, so anything that sparks an interest is nice."
Coordinated entirely by the student organization, the teacher tours are the primary annual fund-raiser for BiPS. In exchange for allowing the professional groups to visit the campus for the half-day of laboratory and classroom tours, Jensen Learning Company makes a generous contribution to the student organization to use for other social and academic activities.
"The group was founded primarily as a social organization," said BiPS member Floretta Jones, a fourth-year UTSA doctoral student. "Events like this provide the funding that we need for those types of activities."
For more information on BiPS, contact Brian Bauereis at (210) 363-4354.

Pulaski Technical College will participate in National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, a nationwide initiative sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, 8 a.m. - 2 p.m., Friday, Oct. 28.
The Pulaski Technical College Police Department will have officers available to assist in the disposal of prescription drugs which are no longer needed. Officers will be stationed at tables at the Pulaski Tech main campus, Little Rock - West and Little Rock -South.
Prescriptions drugs are the most widely abused drugs among young adults and teenagers today. Most homes have unused prescription drugs sitting in the drawers and cabinets where children may have access to them. Arkansas continues to be placed near the top of national rankings for the incidence of teen prescription drug abuse. Arkansas sixth graders abuse prescription drugs more than any other substance except alcohol, cigarettes and inhalants. By the time students reach their senior year of high school, 21 percent have abused prescription drugs.
The success of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day will have a positive impact on these alarming realities and help campus life at Pulaski Tech. The campus community is encouraged to tell parents, friends and relatives and to bring all unused prescription drugs to Pulaski Tech Oct. 28 to dispose of them.
National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is designated for Saturday, Oct. 29, but Pulaski Tech will participate a day earlier in order to better serve the campus community.
The Pulaski Technical College Police Department thanks participants in advance for helping to protect the citizens of the State of Arkansas.
For more information, contact Pulaski Technical College Director of Police and Public Safety Mark Stafford at 501-812 2248.

Panda Herbal licorice is my favorite flavor of licorice. I'm always surprised it's not a classic favorite. They're super gentle on the digestion. But there is a caution. If you are at all prone to high blood-pressure or water-retention, you should be careful not to wolf down the entire box! Savor them one-a-day, and drink some lemonade or cranberry juice as a chaser.

Since the children were born, I have tried to feed them the best I could. This introduced me to growing my own food ( I felt and still feel that children should see where their food comes from ). A glut of fresh food started the preserving - jams etc, my daughters intolerance to bought bread starting me making my own etc etc. A friend once described me as being "earthy".

why the exemption pass??
I incorrectly assumed that Ashen was your real name...I got Kye wrong as well...
It is misleading somehow, i thought that Ashen called himself so because he loves BBQ's.
A person adressed him by his real name here long ago...
When i was invited on FB many thought that my real name was Kye. Apart from the Pabs, Minni, Mar�e, Mummz.

Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris
Artist, aristocrat, and colorful chronicler of the Belle Époque, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) was one of the greatest artists of the late nineteenth century. For the first time in 20 years, more than 100 works by Toulouse-Lautrec will be shown together at The San Diego Museum of Art.
Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris: Selections from the Baldwin M. Baldwin Collection pays tribute to both a superlative artist and one of the Museum's foremost supporters. In 1987 the Baldwin M. Baldwin Foundation made a gift to The San Diego Museum of Art of nearly 100 works by Toulouse-Lautrec. Since then the Museum has circulated this collection as well as other pieces by this artist in the Museum's permanent collection widely throughout the United States.
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to see these spectacular drawings, lithographs, posters, and paintings once again before the Museum undertakes a campaign to conserve and further research these important works.
Take a peek behind the scenes to watch the installation of the exhibition.
Thanks to a special collaboration with Vue, you are able to see a time-lapse video of the construction and installation of the exhibition. Watch as walls are relocated, paint is selected and applied, and works of art are installed. A Vue wireless camera was placed in a "covert" location to record time-lapse scenes of the new installation. The recording is updated every few days, so keep checking to see the latest progress. You won't believe some of the Belle Époque touches that were integrated into this exhibition!
Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris: Selections from the Baldwin M. Baldwin Collection is organized by The San Diego Museum of Art and is generously sponsored by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP. Additional support is provided by members of the Museum and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Program.

Filiberto's (Milan Rental's) apartment, Galeazzo, was really nice. It was a big, well located apartment with high ceilings and all necessary facilities. It was clean and comfortable. The apartment complex was safe and secure, and easily reachable by tram and bus, being very close to Navigli (canals, bars and restaurants, nightlife).
When we arrived at Milan central station from Malpensa airport, we could locate Filiberto's office easily as he had sent a map beforehand. Although it was a Saturday, his colleague Marcello was waiting in the office for us to arrive. Marcello gave us the keys to the apartment along with instructions and a map of Milan. It was easy to find the apartment from there on.
Overall, it was a nice experience and I would recommend Galeazzo to anyone wanting to stay near the canals (Navigli).
Super cool apartment! It doesnt get any more
Italian. With a balcony out to a yard with real italian families, with balconies filled with planta and flowers you get the real italian experience!
The office was easy to find when we arrived to the central station. The host was super nice and welcoming, easy to understand and very helpfull. The apartment was so interesting furnished, and fun. There was alot of really big fun books to look at and cool furniture. The sleepingcoach was really squeeky and noisy, but we had a lot of fun with it. The kitchen has everything you need.
The apartment was dirty in the corners, which is why i rate 4 stars.
I would defiently recommend this fun, cool, perfectly placed apartment to others!
40m from a carrefour express and 100m from a big super market.
Also Corso Buenos Aires is placed a couple of blocks away. Enjoy!!
Best regards from Denmark
The apartment is not far away from the city. 30min to walk. It has anything an apartment needs, very nice people. But:
- It partly was very dirty
- we had big problems with warm water (even in the shower)
- big beetles running around in the apartment
- anything was very old and some things, like most all doors were damaged
The flat is nice and cozy and have all you need.
Must confess it could do with a freshen up, some walls and curtains are dirty.
Very friendly host althought i had to check in myself which has never happen to me before while using wimdu.
The appartment is nice, spacious and close to the Duomo, as advertised. We also got all the support we needed from Marcello, Filiberto's colleague. There are some things that have to be improved to get five stars such as squeaky doors in the appartment and an uneven matress in one of the rooms, but overall it was a good experience.
We had a great stay in Filbertos Apartment. It is clean and spacious just exactly as the pictures show. And also the support of Marcello, Filbertos colleague, was very helpful.
Lovely apartment, located next to Gioia station on the green line which makes it a 5 mins walk from the Brera district which a lovely up and coming area in Milan with lots of new stores, hearty Italian bars and restaurants and is also a 7 minute walk away.
To get from Malpensa to Centrale you can grab a shuttle bus which is €16 return or a train, either is easy. Milan Rentals is located in the small park/square outside to the side of the station next, on the opposite side of the road to where the coaches park. It's building number 24 and press the Buzzer for Milan apartments.
The apartment could have been a bit cleaner in terms of dust but all facilities worked perfect, towels and linens provided and it felt much like home after 2 nights.
Marcelo and Filiberto are fantastic gentlemen from Milan Rentals who were very helpful.
Good service, easy to collect the Keys. It is not a two bedroom apartment, there is one bedroom and a couch in the living room. The location is excellent, 200 m to the church with the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, The Last Supper. Walking distance from Milan center. Nice neighborhood.
That was the perfect apartment for us. I recommend to everybody who visits Milan. Quiet, spacious, bright living-dining, separate sleeping room and the wonderful terrace. You find everything you need in the neighborhood, foot distance to Navigli, Porta Ticinese.
Marcello is a kind and efficient manager of the apartment. Thank you Marcello and Filiberto! It was just wonderful!
I had a pleasure of staying in this appartment with my friends. A great location with comfortable transportation both to center and to the Central station (Milano Centrale). We have even walked to the Doumo plaza, which takes 30 to 40 minutes in slow pace.
I would reccomend this appartment to my friends.

Those are adorable! I wish my kids were young still (sometimes. Well, maybe not, I wish I had little kids around that went home - I think they call them grandchildren. They're still a gleam somewhere!)
- Ann, a Gardening Beek
Hi Ann, Nice pictures on your web site.
How did they survive this winter. We had very low temps in CT for over six weeks after January. I think you had similar weather too.
I just love those nicely painted hives! My sons are a bit old now, and I only wish I had them paint up a few of those when they were young. Maybe you want to put a clear coat of something, over them...to protect the paint job so they last even longer...
I got the clear coat and I'm doing that tomorrow. Thanks

I am a Mount Albert resident, living approximately half a kilometre away from the Waterview Connection construction area, so I'm not directly affected, but I do enjoy reading the newsletter updates which arrive in our mailbox.
My question is, what becomes of the huge amount of rock which has to extracted to complete the project?
Bob Simons, Mt Albert.
About 100,000cu m of hard basalt rock is being removed from the Alan Wood Reserve in Owairaka. The basalt is from a lava flow and is up to 14m thick in places. It needs to be removed so that a trench can be excavated in time for the arrival in mid-2013 of the project's tunnel-boring machine, which is coming from Germany. The trench will ultimately be used as part of the motorway to and from the southern portals of the Waterview tunnels.
The rock is so hard that it is causing damage to some of the machines. Explosives are being used to break through the volcanic rock to the softer material below.
The work at the Alan Wood Reserve is preparation for a section of the Waterview Connection that will run underneath what will become a bridge at Richardson Rd. By building the bridge early, trucks removing rock from the site will be able to access the motorway earlier, and thus avoid using local roads.
The basalt is taken to the Wiri Quarry in South Auckland where the project has established a crushing plant. It would seem logical to have established a crushing plant at the site itself, but read on.
Some of the crushed rock will be trucked back to Waterview to be reused on the project and the surplus is being sold as metal for gabions, road foundations and backfill. Gabions are those wire cages filled with rock that are used for erosion control and trendy garden walls, among other things. The project has also established a landfill at the quarry for disposal of the estimated 800,000cu m of material that will be removed from the tunnels themselves. This means that over the life of the Waterview project, the old quarry will be rehabilitated ready for redevelopment as a commercial area. This would seem to be why the crushing plant is at Wiri.
The tunnelling machine, otherwise known as an "earth pressure balance machine" (EPBM), will bore twin 14m-diameter tunnels of total length 2.5km, at a maximum depth of 45m, just part of the new 4.8km, six lane motorway. Tunnelling is expensive, and the cost of the custom-built EPBM plus the associated work accounts for over two-thirds of the project's budget. The tunnels it creates will be the largest ever built in Australasia.
Tunnelling is expected to start in early 2014, with the Western Ring Route, of which the Waterview Connection is part, completed and open by 2017.


text: I don't think Skinner meant to offend anyone, he just doesn't sugar coat his opinions like most people. That being said, some people like doing things in a more challenging way, so kudos for that as well. Cerezha, you kind of agreed with skinner too... you have survivor bees... aka good genetics which is what he was saying. I always find it amusing when people start bashing pesticides and commercial ag practices then go to the supermarket or wherever and then complain about all the fruits/veggies with bug holes in them and won't pay more than 20 cents for a head of lettuce. We have to produce food cheaply because it's what the majority of our population demands.

I really don't think they do. If the guy is single and so are you, he usually wants to date you. He can pretend to be your friend, but in the back of his mind he wants it to lead to something else.
Total posts: 16
I think it is defenately possible. I have a female friend and she is perfect to talk about feelings or things where guys don't talk about that easy together. She is like a sister for me and that's also how i see her. However it needs to be clear that the friendship is just a friendship. Partners can be jalous. As long you prefer the other persons luck above yours or eventual desires it is possible. Dont claim time for example if she has a relationship or dont be a threat for her boyfriend.

I planted 1 acre of buckwheat this Spring and it is doing well. Have any of you harvested buckwheat by hand and saved the seed for next year? How did you harvest it?
I planted 1 acre of buckwheat this Spring and it is doing well. Have any of you harvested buckwheat by hand and saved the seed for next year? How did you harvest it?
I harvest seed every year. I started out just stripping it by hand. Works well, but very slow. Now I cut bundles with a hand sycicle and beat the tops into my garden cart or wheel barrow. You can harvest 50 -100 pounds in a busy afternoon. I wait until after a killing frost to reduce the moisture. Spread the harvest seed out for a day or two to let dry completely. You can just pull the plants too, but I tend to get a bunch of dirt in the seed.
Sounds like a good plan. I was going to ask a friend to combine it, but it would be a pain for him to adjust the combine for one acre of buckwheat.
did your bee's work it well I'm about to plant an acre for a late summer crop for mine.
http://OxaVap.com Your source for the ProVap 110
OA Vaporizer. The fastest vaporizer on the market!
The bees love it and it has blossomed for 3 weeks so far.
People I know plant buckwheat for a cpl of reasons. One: it is so think that it keeps anything else from growing. Two: it makes a good green manure as it is called. It gets disced down and adds to the soil. I believe if planted early enough that discing it down after it goes to seed it will come up again the same year. And then there is the hope of a honey crop. Most of the buckwheat planted these days doesn't produce nectar or enough to make any honey from.
Why did you plant buckwheat?
Mark Berninghausen
Planted 4 acres of buckwheat - once. Got nada, zip, nothing in terms of honey..... then I was told it was only a certain "variety" of buckwheat that would produce nectar. Well... got disgusted - those seeds are not cheap - and have not thought of messing with it since.
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
Mark the lack of nectar production in Buckwheat has come up before. It was stated that the old variety Japanese Silver Hull was a good nectar producer. I contacted the National Germ plasma storage and got some of the seeds. It took 2 years to increase the seed to plant a patch next to the variety (?) I already had. I did not see any difference in the bees response to either variety. I wonder if the nectar production is more environmental than varietal. Our bees work the Buckwheat well in the morning, but we do not see a big effect on our honey production.
Hundreds, maybe thousands, of acres of buckwheat are planted around Penn Yan,NY. The last 10 or 15 years friends of mine have had apiarys around there. No buckwheat honey. What can I say?
Mark Berninghausen
Well, the bees sure spend a lot of time on the buckwheat? I also planted yellow sweet clover with it and that will blossom next year. What would be better to plant for a first year crop, that I can under seed with clover?
I would try alfalfa . I never seemed to do well with sweet yellow, crimson clover worked well and reseeded itself. I just buy whatever buckwheat the co-op has and planted it in the garden- the bees will work it if there is a dew , but quit as the day goes on . White dutch clover no 1# for me
Thats a bummer about the lack of nectar in buckwheat. I just planted about 4 acres to hold the ground until I disked it under and plant my white clover in the fall. I figured the bees would love it. Well, I have tons of white clover and alfalfa now anyway, so I guess that will carry them.

New Transportation Careers Initiative
Teachers from all subject areas are being given an opportunity to participate in the Careers in Transportation Curriculum Project. Teacher participants will be involved in testing at least one lesson with a group of students during the 2010-11 school year. The lessons a teacher uses may be selected from a list of modules that are organized by transportation pathway, grade level and most appropriate academic subject. Based on his or her experience with the module, each participating teacher will provide written feedback on the "teachability" of the materials. The initiative is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation to field-test lessons focusing on transportation careers and academic content for students in grades 6–12. The lessons give students opportunities to explore careers in transportation by exploring authentic industry problems. The lessons also enable students to master multiple levels and types of knowledge about transportation.
The lessons were designed by educators in Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia. They consist of two types: Career Development Modules that make students aware of career opportunities in the transportation industry and Problem Based Learning Modules that focus on solving an authentic transportation industry problem.
This project builds on the original Career Cluster partnership with the US Department of Transportation, which, in 1999, took a leadership role in the creation of the National Transportation, Distribution and Logistics Career Cluster. Here, the Department is partnering with the National Association of State Directors of Career and Technical Education by sponsoring the development of Careers in Transportation Curriculum Materials.
The benefits to participating teachers include:
- A stipend for testing and evaluating lesson plan(s) selected from the list of modules;
- The ability to influence the future of education by contributing new curriculum material;
- The experience of helping students learn about careers in transportation;
- The opportunity to link with government, business, and industry partner; and
- Technical assistance and support from project staff.
Download Free Resources to Create Career Pathways and Postsecondary Transitions
The Illinois Community College Board has released a step-by-step guide, How to Build Bridge Programs That Fit Into a Career Pathway, which provides information on how to develop successful bridge programs to tap the talents of low-skilled adults. The guide is based on the achievements of Carreras en Salud, a health care bridge program created by Chicago's Instituto del Progreso Latino and its partners, the National Council of La Raza, Association House of Chicago, and Humboldt Park Vocational Education Center of Wilbur Wright College. This partnership was supported by the Illinois Community College Board, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and the Joyce Foundation as part of its multi-year, multi-million dollar state policy initiative, Shifting Gears. That initiative is re-engineering adult education, workforce development and postsecondary education policies to expand job opportunities for low-skilled workers in six Midwestern states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin). Meanwhile, Jobs for the Future (JFF) is distributing its recent The Breaking Through Practice Guide. Breaking Through is a collaboration between Jobs for the Future and the National Council for Workforce Education. The practice guide highlights innovations from Breaking Through between 2005 and 2009. Each of its four components offers a "high-leverage strategy" to increase success with low-skilled younger and older adults. The practice guide also contains a contextualization toolkit and supplementary materials, including information about JFF's advisor training materials.

text: I started an observation hive in the hope I could watch the bees make a queen. The frame had some eggs and larva and some sealed brood. The bees started queen cells between the frame and the wall of the observation hive, there were no eggs or any thing there. Can worker bees move and egg or larva from the cell it was to a new cell? Has any one out there seen this before? Are my bees crazy?

A 1956 American Scientist article explores climate change; two contemporary commentaries illuminate its relevance to the present
Gilbert N. Plass, James Rodger Fleming, Gavin Schmidt
Scientists have long been fascinated with the problem of explaining variations in the climate. For at least nine-tenths of the time since the beginning of recorded geological history, the average temperature of the Earth has been higher than it is today. Between these warm epochs there have been severe periods of glaciation which have lasted a few million years and which have occurred at intervals of roughly 250,000,000 years. Of more immediate interest to us is the general warming of the climate that has taken place in the last sixty years.
Theories of climatic change are exceedingly numerous. Is it possible that any of these theories can explain most of the known facts about climate? The most widely held theories at the present time call upon variations in the solar energy received by the earth, changes in the amount of volcanic dust in the atmosphere, and variations in the average elevation of the continents. Although it is entirely possible that changes in each of these factors may have had an influence on the Earth's climate at particular times and places, none of these theories alone seems able to explain a majority of the known facts about world-wide climatic variations.
Although the carbon dioxide theory of climatic change was one of the most widely held fifty years ago, in recent years it has had relatively few adherents. However, recent research work suggests that the usual reasons for rejecting this theory are not valid. Thus it seems appropriate to reconsider the question of variations in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and whether it can satisfactorily account for many of the world-wide climatic changes.
Because of the relatively low temperatures at the Earth's surface and in the atmosphere, virtually all of the outgoing radiation from the Earth to space is in the infrared region of the spectrum. Thus it is important to know which constituents of the atmosphere absorb in the infrared. The three most abundant gases in our atmosphere are oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. However, none of these three gases absorb appreciably in the relevant spectral region in the infrared. If these were the only gases in our atmosphere, our climate would be considerably colder than it is today. The heat radiated from the surface of the Earth would not be stopped in its passage out to space with the result that the Earth's surface would cool rapidly.
