Last year, GRID Alternatives was called out as a partner in the President's mandate for 300MW of solar serving federally subsidized housing and GRID embarked on an expansion of our mission and services to include commercial solar development for affordable housing, multifamily agencies. Also last year, NeighborWorks America - a national nonprofit dedicated to affordable housing, community development and the families that benefit - announced $200,000 in grants to support solar development in its affiliates across the country.
Today, GRID Colorado marries the two initiatives together in the the first of these projects undertaken with an 82kW system developed by GRID and Community Resources and Housing Development (CRHDC) - a Colorado NeighborWorks affiliate. CRHDC's Sol Naciente development, which will primarily house immigrants and refugees, consists of five residential buildings with a total of 50 individual family units and a community center. This project will serve as the largest, to date, single solar installation undertaken by GRID.
By expanding our Solar Affordable Housing Program to include rooftop, community solar, and multifamily projects, GRID is able to increase production and impact a greater number and wider population of Colorado residents. If you are interested in learning more about GRID's work with affordable housing organizations or how we partner with local utilities, please reach out through email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or by calling our office at (303)968-1326.

Tiger Woods is on the verge of setting a new benchmark - an endorsement contract with Nike worth about £70 million, believed to be the richest in sport.
Tiger Woods is on the verge of setting a new benchmark - an endorsement contract with Nike worth about £70 million, believed to be the richest in sport.
Woods and Nike have agreed to a five-year extension to his existing deal that will pay him an average of about £14 million a year, according to a source close to the negotiations.
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, described the deal as an "outstanding contract", but declined to discuss specifics, saying only that: "It compensates Tiger not just for what he's done with Nike, but what he has done for golf and sports."
Bob Wood, Nike's golf president, was also circumspect: "We've worked on this for 18 months. It's a pretty creative contract. It has a lot of aspects to it, but the effort was worth it. It's not often you get a chance to work with somebody who's the best in the world at what they do. Working with and being associated with Tiger Woods has created an incredible amount of positive energy about Nike Golf and Nike."
Woods has represented Nike since turning professional in 1996. In just four years he has raised his game to a level few could have imagined, and attracted a record number of TV viewers along the way.
With three tournaments to play, his nine victories this year are the most in one US PGA Tour season since 1950 and he is on course to shattered the all-time season scoring average set by Byron Nelson in 1945.
Earlier this year, Woods - who is still only 24 - signed an endorsement deal with Buick worth £20m over five years and carries its logo on his bag.Reuse content

You're right - definitely O'keefe material!
Just received 50 caladium tubers for our Display gardens last week. Of
course we got a cold snap here, lows down to 40, highs just barely 60 to
65. I gave the gardens the planting instructions from Caladium World and
suggested they start them indoors over heat, that our soil is just too cold
yet for them. Jim, or anyone, what would you suggest for a minimum night
air temp or soil temp for planting them directly outdoors? And if they are
planted too cold, will they survive?

I sat on my chair just watching the stars. The breeze brushed my face and I sucked in a breath. The beach had been busy today. Some guy had hit a girl with his bike and then got mugged a little later. I had seen various groups moving around but generally ignored them. I have never ever been good at talking to people. I had come alone just to listen to the waves and observe the natural beauty of the beach.
After awhile I realized I heard music. I twisted my head around to see a girl playing her guitar on a rock. I listened to the music, closing my eyes to feel the full effect. It was very soothing. I had never been able to play instruments very well but that hadnt diminished my love for music.
I heard voices and laughter coming closer but, as I had the whole day, ignored it. I closed my eyes, wrapping myself in the music once again. The voices got closer and then I felt myself being tipped over onto the ground. The chair was crushing the breath out of my lungs and I yelled for whoever it was to GET OFF!

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, and in the Netherlands have discovered how three fungal diseases have evolved into a lethal threat to the world's bananas.
The discovery, reported in the online journal PLOS Genetics, better equips researchers to develop hardier, disease-resistant banana plants and more effective disease-prevention treatments.
"We have demonstrated that two of the three most serious banana fungal diseases have become more virulent by increasing their ability to manipulate the banana's metabolic pathways and make use of its nutrients," said UC Davis plant pathologist Ioannis Stergiopoulos, who led the effort to sequence two of the fungal genomes.
"This parallel change in metabolism of the pathogen and the host plant has been overlooked until now and may represent a 'molecular fingerprint' of the adaption process," he said. "It is really a wake-up call to the research community to look at similar mechanisms between pathogens and their plant hosts."
Bananas and the disease threat
The banana is one of the world's top five staple foods. About 100 million tons of bananas are produced annually in nearly 120 countries. But the fruit suffers from an "image problem," giving consumers the appearance that it is and always will be readily available, said Stergiopoulos. It's an image problem that he fears could prove fatal to the entire banana industry in the very near future.
In reality, the global banana industry could be wiped out in just five to 10 years by fast-advancing fungal diseases. And that would prove devastating to millions of small-scale farmers who depend on the fruit for food, fiber and income. Already, Sigatoka — a three-fungus disease complex — reduces banana yields by 40 percent.
Three diseases in one
The Sigatoka complex's three fungal diseases — yellow Sigatoka (Pseudocercospora musae), eumusae leaf spot (Pseudocercospora eumusae) and black Sigatoka (Pseudocercospora figiensis) — emerged as destructive pathogens in just the last century. Eumusae leaf spot and black Sigatoka are now the most devastating, with black Sigatoka posing the greatest constraint to banana production worldwide. The constant threat of the disease requires farmers to make 50 fungicide applications to their banana crops each year to control the disease.
"Thirty to 35 percent of banana production cost is in fungicide applications," Stergiopoulos said. "Because many farmers can't afford the fungicide, they grow bananas of lesser quality, which bring them less income."
And for those growers who can afford fungicide, the applications pose environmental and human-health risks.
To make matters worse, all commercial "dessert" bananas — those most commonly found in grocery stores — are of the Cavendish variety. And unlike a tomato or green bean, which are grown from seeds, bananas are grown from shoot cuttings.
"The Cavendish banana plants all originated from one plant and so as clones, they all have the same genotype — and that is a recipe for disaster," Stergiopoulos said, noting that a disease capable of killing one plant could kill them all.
Probing the genomes for solutions
Stergiopoulos and colleagues sequenced the genomes of eumusae leaf spot and black Sigatoka, comparing their findings with the previously sequenced yellow Sigatoka genome sequence.
They discovered that this complex of diseases has become lethal to banana plants not just by shutting down the plant's immune system but also by adapting the metabolism of the fungi to match that of the host plants. As a result, the attacking fungi can produce enzymes that break down the plant's cell walls. This allows the fungi to feed on the plant's sugars and other carbohydrates.
"Now, for the first time, we know the genomic basis of virulence in these fungal diseases and the pattern by which these pathogens have evolved," Stergiopoulos said.

People with diabetes often suffer from wounds that are slow to heal and can lead to ulcers, gangrene and amputation. New research from an international group led by Min Zhao, professor of ophthalmology and of dermatology at the University of California, Davis, shows that, in animal models of diabetes, slow healing is associated with weaker electrical currents in wounds. The results could ultimately open up new approaches for managing diabetic patients.
"This is the first demonstration, in diabetic wounds or any chronic wounds, that the naturally occurring electrical signal is impaired and correlated with delayed healing," Zhao said. "Correcting this defect offers a totally new approach for chronic and nonhealing wounds in diabetes."
It has been estimated that as much as $25 billion a year is spent on treating chronic ulcers and wounds related to diabetes, Zhao said.
Electric fields and wound healing
Electric fields are associated with living tissue. Previous work by Zhao and Brian Reid, project scientist at the UC Davis Department of Dermatology, showed that electric fields are associated with healing damage to the cornea, the transparent outer layer of the eye.
In the new work, published June 10 in the journal Scientific Reports, Zhao, Reid and colleagues used a highly sensitive probe to measure electrical fields in the corneas of isolated eyes from three different lab mouse models with different types of diabetes: genetic, drug-induced and in mice fed a high-fat diet.
In a healthy eye, there is an electrical potential across the thickness of the cornea. Removing a small piece of cornea collapses this potential and creates electric currents, especially at the edges of the wound. Cells migrate along the electric currents, closing the scratch wound in about 48 hours.
The University of California, Davis (also referred to as UCD, UC Davis, or Davis) is a public teaching and research university located in Davis, California just west of Sacramento.
The campus covers 7,309 acres (2,958 ha), making it the largest within the 10 campus University of California system. UC Davis also has the third largest enrollment in the UC System after UCLA and UC Berkeley.
Howard and Matthew Greene named UC Davis a Public Ivy in 2001, a publicly funded university considered as providing a quality of education comparable to those of the Ivy League. In 2013, U.S. News and World Report ranked UC Davis as the 9th best public university in the United States, 39th nationally, and tied for 3rd best of the UC schools with UC San Diego, following UC Berkeley and UCLA. UC Davis is also one of 62 members in the Association of American Universities.

Joint BioEnergy Institute Study Identifies Bacterial Protein that is Key to Protecting Rice against Bacterial Blight
A bacterial signal that when recognized by rice plants enables the plants to resist a devastating blight disease has been identified by a multi-national team of researchers led by scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) and the University of California (UC) Davis.
The research team discovered that a tyrosine-sulfated bacterial protein called "RaxX," activates the rice immune receptor protein called "XA21." This activation triggers an immune response against Xanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzae (Xoo), a pathogen that causes bacterial blight, a serious disease of rice crops.
"Our results show that RaxX, a small, previously undescribed bacterial protein, is required for activation of XA21-mediated immunity to Xoo," says Pamela Ronald, a plant geneticist for both JBEI and UC Davis who led this study. "XA21 can detect RaxX and quickly mobilize its defenses to mount a potent immune response against Xoo. Rice plants that do not carry the XA21 immune receptor or other related immune receptors are virtually defenseless against bacterial blight."
Ronald, who directs JBEI's grass genetics program and is a professor in the UC Davis Department of Plant Pathology, is one of two corresponding authors of a paper describing this research inScience Advances, along with Benjamin Schwessinger, a grass geneticist with JBEI's Feedstocks Division at the time of this study and now with the Australian National University. The paper is titled "The rice immune receptor XA21 recognizes a tyrosine-sulfated protein from a Gram-negative bacterium." (See end of story for a complete list of authors.)
Rice is a staple food for half the world's population and a model plant for perennial grasses, such as Miscanthus and switchgrass, which are prime feedstock candidates for the production of clean, green and renewable cellulosic biofuels. Just as bacterial blight poses a major threat to rice crops, bacterial infections of grass-type fuel plants could present major problems for the future production of advanced biofuels. However, the mechanisms by which bacteria infect such grasses is poorly understood.
"Pathogens of grass-type biofuel crops that would reduce the yield of fuel-producing biomass likely use similar infection mechanisms to Xoo," says Schwessinger. "Having identified the activator of XA21, we will be able to study the rice immune system in far greater detail than ever before. As rice is the model for grass-type biofuel feedstocks, this might help in the future engineering of more disease-resistant grass-type biofuel crops."
Most plants and many animals can only defend themselves against a given disease if they carry specialized immune receptors that sense the invading pathogen behind the disease. In 2009, Ronald and her group identified a small bacterial protein they named "Ax21" as the molecular key that binds to the XA21 receptor to activate a rice plant's immune response. Diligent follow-up research by her group led to Ronald retracting these results and continuing the search for the true key.
"We were ecstatic with our results in 2009 because identifying the molecule that XA21 recognizes provides an important piece to the puzzle of how the rice plant is able to respond to infection," Ronald says, "but then it was back to the drawing board. Now we have the real XA21 activator."

Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is defined as employment which is an integral part of an established curriculum, including: "alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum which is offered by sponsoring employers through cooperative agreements with the school." Source: [8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)(i)]. CPT is available only prior to the completion of your degree program and you must have a job offer at the time of application. CPT employment may not delay completion of the academic program.
Types of CPT
There are two types of CPT: required and not required. Required CPT is when the academic program mandates practical work experience in order to graduate. Not required or option CPT is when the practical work experience is for credit and directly related to your field of study.
Requirements for Non-Required CPT
- You must be enrolled in a CPT course.
- The designated CPT course must have been set up and approved by the U-M Office of the Registrar. See the list of List of Required Internships and CPT Courses for Optional Internships.
- You must have declared a major if you are an undergraduate student.
- If you wish to engage in CPT during Winter or Fall term, you must be registered for the CPT course during that term.
- If you wish to engage in CPT during the Spring/Summer term, you may register either in the preceding Winter term or during the Spring/Summer term. Students registering for ENGR 400 must register for the course during the semester they do their internship/co-op.
- If you register for the CPT course for Winter term and are authorized for CPT work during Winter term, you cannot then use the same registration again for Spring/Summer term. You must register for the CPT course again.
- Students who are engaged in thesis/dissertation work and have finished their coursework are still eligible for CPT, one term at a time if the CPT is an integral part of their thesis/dissertation or research.
- Non-required CPT will not be allowed in the student's final term unless you need to register for other courses which are required for the completion of your academic program.
- Failure to complete the CPT course will result in your falling out of legal F-1 status.
- Be aware that adding a CPT course may have an impact on your tuition and fees.
Part-Time vs. Full-Time CPT
Part-time CPT: Employment for 20 hours or less per week is considered part-time. You must be simultaneously enrolled in classes full-time in order to maintain lawful F-1 status.
Full-time CPT: Employment for more than 20 hours per week is considered full-time. Please be aware that 12 months or more of full-time CPT will invalidate your eligibility for Optional Practical Training (OPT). During the academic year (fall and winter semesters), you must be simultaneously enrolled full-time in order to maintain lawful F-1 status.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for CPT, you must:
- Have been lawfully enrolled on a full-time basis for one academic year (i.e. two full consecutive terms). If you are a graduate student and the program requires immediate participation, this requirement is waived.
- Be in lawful F-1 status
- Have U-M approved health insurance
- Have a job offer
- Not be enrolled in an intensive English language training program
NOTE: CPT is processed and authorized term by term. Contact your academic department regarding your department's specific guidelines and follow those guidelines for CPT applications. Please note that your department has discretion in recommending CPT.
CPT and Full-Time Enrollment Requirement
If you are engaged in CPT during the academic year (fall and winter semesters), you must be simultaneously enrolled full-time in order to maintain lawful F-1 status, unless it is your last term of enrollment. Students are allowed to be enrolled part-time in their last term before program completion, but only if they receive Reduced Course Load (RCL) authorization from the International Center. Please see Completion of Course of Study section on our web site for more information. Please note that non-required CPT is only allowed in your final term if you are registered for other courses which are required for the completion of your academic program.
If the fall or winter term during which you are engaged in CPT is not your last term of enrollment, you must be registered in full-time coursework, in addition to any CPT courses. Full-time enrollment means 12 credit hours for undergraduate students and 8 credit hours for graduate students. Please note that Rackham 998 course is only 1 credit hour and is NOT an equivalent of full-time enrollment.
The full-time enrollment requirement means that most students have to limit their CPT during the academic year to local jobs or to working for their employer remotely, usually on a part-time basis. There are some exceptions, notably PhD students who have completed all their coursework and are now registered for dissertation/research hours only. However, such exceptions are rare. So even though full-time CPT is allowed during the fall and winter semesters, the full-time enrollment requirement is likely to make employment outside of the Ann Arbor area highly impractical in most situations.

* Incomplete requests will not be accepted.
- The U-M International Center will send your CPT recommendation to SEVIS electronically to generate a new I-20. The CPT work authorization will be printed on page 2 of the new SEVIS I-20.
- The U-M International Center will notify you when your new I-20 is available.
- Bring your U-M ID to the U-M International Center front desk to pick up your new I-20.
- Sign your name on the new I-20. Be sure to keep a record of all I-20s issued to you.
NOTE: You are authorized to be employed only for the employer, location, and time period specified on the new I-20. It is possible to extend or shorten your CPT within the term of authorization. If you would like to edit your CPT end date email the U-M International Center at firstname.lastname@example.com.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Address Notification Requirement
You are required to update your address in Wolverine Access within 10 days of any change while you are in F-1 status.
CPT and Unpaid Internships
It is not uncommon for students to confuse unpaid internships with volunteering (and therefore conclude that no work authorization is necessary for engaging in an unpaid internship). However, there is a difference between volunteering and engaging in an unpaid internship. Volunteering refers to donating time with an organization whose primary purpose is charitable or humanitarian in nature, without remuneration or any other type of compensation. For more information about volunteering please see "Employment vs. Volunteering" section on the IC web site. Internships, both paid and unpaid, are primarily offered by the private sector and related to the intern's major field of study. The U.S. Department of Labor has guidelines for those seeking an unpaid internship: https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.htm
The following six criteria must be met for an internship to be considered a legitimate unpaid internship (and not employment below minimum wage, in violation of Department of Labor laws):
- The internship, even though it includes actual operation on the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
- The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
- The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
- The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
- The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; and
- The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship
Do F-1 students need CPT authorization to participate in unpaid internship?
CPT authorization is recommended for unpaid internships, whether the student does or does not need to provide employment authorization documents to the company. The F-1 regulations are written in such a way that CPT is an authorization to do practical training as part of the curriculum for the academic program, and as such is significant in more ways than simply for the employer to verify employment eligibility. CPT authorization is more than just permission to get paid.
The International Center strongly recommends CPT authorization for unpaid internships for the following reasons:
- CPT authorization by the university serves to demonstrate that this practical experience is part of the curriculum.
- CPT authorization is a way of reporting in SEVIS the student's activity, employment, and location where they are working and therefore maintaining their status.
- If ever a student is doing a job on an unpaid basis that someone would be hired and paid for, employment authorization in the form of CPT, OPT, etc. is advised.
- If the unpaid internship at some point changes into a paid one (or if your employer decides to compensate you for your work in any way – for example, give you a monetary gift), you won't be able to accept the payment if your internship was not authorized as CPT. Please keep in mind that F-1 students cannot be retroactively remunerated or in any way compensated for work done in an unpaid internship if they did not obtain work authorization prior to when the work was performed.
Based on the above, we recommend that you apply for CPT authorization if you have an internship offer (paid or unpaid) that meets CPT eligibility criteria.
If the position is unpaid and for some reason it is not possible for you to obtain CPT authorization, please make sure that your prospective supervisor is aware of U.S. Department of Labor regulations concerning unpaid internships and that you have assurances (preferably written) to that effect before you accept the position. We also recommend that at the end of your internship you ask your employer to provide you with a letter confirming that there was no remuneration or any other type of compensation provided in any form during the dates you were participating in the internship. Please keep such a letter for your permanent records.

James Felt Creative Counseling Award
The James Felt Creative Counseling Award is a celebration of outstanding achievement and ingenuity by members of The Counselors of Real Estate. Established in 1992, and first awarded in 1995, the James Felt Creative Counseling Award enhances the public recognition of the CRE Designation, the counseling profession, and The Counselors of Real Estate organization itself.
The award honors the memory of the late CRE James "Jack" Felt, a prominent real estate pioneer, founding father of The Counselors of Real Estate, former Chairman of the New York City Planning Commission, and a trustee of many well-known corporate and eleemosynary boards. Felt was known for his strong sense of integrity and client accountability in applying his creative counseling techniques to resolve complex real estate problems. Says Steven Leader, CRE, and nephew of Felt, "The award reflects Jack's personal and professional standards, ethics, integrity, creativity, and competencies displayed throughout his real estate career."
All members of The Counselors of Real Estate (except those holding national office at the time it is presented) are eligible to receive the award. Counselors may submit their own work, or they may also nominate the work of a fellow-CRE for consideration.
Each submission is judged on the basis of the scope of the assignment, the Counselor's role in the assignment, the creativity and innovation applied in addressing the assignment, and the public or social benefits achieved.
The CRE Chair of the Board selects a five-person CRE Selection Committee to judge the submissions. The Selection Committee reviews each submission on a confidential basis.
A Call for Submissions is disseminated to all members of The Counselors. Submissions should include AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY that includes the following:
- Title of the assignment
- Background (overall objective of the assignment, client/employer issues, etc.)
- Property Description & Special Features
- Process (outline of methodologies, information, and skill sets used)
- Conclusions (summary of recommendations made to the client or employer)
- Creativity Quotient (statement of explaining why the assignment was innovative and creative)
- Results (brief assessment of the benefits to the client or employer and the community)
- Date Assignment Completed
Submission should be emailed to Paul Coady, Manager of CRE Services, at firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for submissions for the 2017 award is April 5, 2017.

Being LeighMature
It was also one of the reasons all my teachers said I would be a writer, rather than prom king. (Does anyone actually grow up wanting to be prom king?)
Spike briefly joined me in my disheveled bed, staying just long enough to feign affection and throw up next to my dresser before streaking off like a dusty-colored bullet. By the time I'd noticed I was too tired—or too lazy, take your pick—to get up and do anything about it. Making a mental note to get out the carpet cleaner in the morning, I was out, lost in dreamless sleep.
I returned to the café the next morning, consistent at least in my routine if not my actual productivity. This sequel visit went much like the first, though it was considerably less awkward and I managed to crank out a few more pages by the end of my "work day." I attributed this to the fact that I wasn't distracted by overthinking my own clumsy attempts at small talk. After all, I'd already asked about the name and presumably cemented the impression that I was just another bumbling middle aged man. What else was there to worry about?
I ordered the same coffee, claimed the same table, and Leigh brought me my orders without incident. She was a bit less bristly, and several times I thought she was on the verge of saying something. She never did though, so I didn't ask. I wasn't the sort who tried to get secrets out of people, tried to get them to talk. Observing from afar, hoping I didn't appear creepy, was much more my style. So that's what I did. When I needed a break from working on my ongoing piece, I sat back and simply wrote what I saw. How there was a particular kind of camaraderie between Leigh and her coworkers, one I myself knew from having briefly worked in the food industry in high school. It's hard to understand if you haven't worked in the industry yourself, but it's cemented over bitching about customers and a mutual understanding that no one will be purposefully employed there for very long. I wrote about the food, and how one of the employees, a young man wearing a stained apron, took great care in arranging the pastries in the display case. The little quirks and habits Leigh had, from what I could observe: keeping the counter immaculate, toying with her labret piercing when she wasn't talking, picking at her fingernails. She seemed to be content in being still, however, unlike the young man I assumed was the baker. He was a foot tapper, and when he popped out from the back room on occasion to stop and talk to Leigh, his foot was constantly going. Being a foot tapper myself, I understood the urge, though the habit for me was usually one of frustration.
Unaware I was tapping away as I stared at the half written page before me, I was caught unawares by Leigh bringing me yet another refill. "This has gotta be an expensive hobby," she commented from behind me as she set the coffee to my right. I muttered a quiet 'Sweet Jesus' under my breath and closed my eyes, startled by her appearance. This seemed to amuse her, if I was learning to interpret her subtle grins correctly.
Once I'd regained my composure, I shook my head. "Well, it's more my career than my hobby," I gently corrected, "but a few cups of coffee a day and some lunch is cheaper than whatever commute I might be stuck with otherwise. Also, thank you," I added, nodding to the fresh cup she'd brought me.
"You mean this is what you get paid to do?" Her disbelief was clear in her tone.
I shrugged. "I own a few properties that I rent out too, but yeah. In the good times, writing pays my bills."
"Huh." The single syllable was almost snorted, and she blinked at me before pressing on. "What do you write about? Coffee shops?"
That got a laugh out of me, and I shook my head again. "Nah. I uh, well this book is something of a historical fiction piece. During the War of the Roses." Though I'd never succeeded at being a history professor like I'd initially set out to be, my fascination with history had lingered, particularly as it was such a rich playground for fabricating believable stories.
"This book?" Leigh's brow furrowed briefly. "How many do you have?"
"Including this one? Five. Here's hoping this will be the one." I toasted my still steaming coffee at her, sighing inwardly. Though I hadn't lied when I'd said that writing paid the bills when times were flush, those times were fewer and farther between than I liked. Sure, I'd received a few reviews by big names, no one had come knocking down my door to discuss film adaptations or tell me I'd finally made it to the big leagues.

Huddersfield Town 0-2 Nottingham Forest
Stuart Pearce's side took the lead through an unexpected source when Terriers' striker James Vaughan headed past his own keeper in the second half, and Henri Lansbury wrapped up proceedings with a fine finish ten minutes from time on his return from injury.
Stuart Pearce made seven changes to his side that had beaten Reading 4-0 at The City Ground on Saturday, most notably Henri Lansbury and Jamaal Lascelles coming in to make their long-awaited returns from injury, whilst Robert Tesche made his debut in central midfield. Michael Mancienne skippered the side in the absence of Chris Cohen.
The home side had the first clear chance of the tie after just three minutes. Harry Bunn burst tenaciously down the right hand side and managed to wriggle beyond Mancienne, although his shot from the byline troubled the side, rather than the back of the net.
On five minutes the returning Lansbury got on the ball 40 yards out, drove forwards and, with space opening up in front of him, had a dig at goal. It hit Joel Lynch and bounced straight back to the number ten, but his follow up effort hit the side netting, just as Bunn's had done previously.
The home side edged close to the opener on the ten minute mark. Jon Stead, from the edge of the box, curled a low shot to the left of Darlow but it hit the foot of the post and bounced clear. A minute later Adam Hamill tried his luck from further out, his effort sailing over the top of the Forest net, but Huddersfield looked dangerous in the opening stages.
It was an entertaining start and on the 20 minute mark Forest broke for the first time in the game with real speed. Lars Veldwijk won a header in the middle of the park and burst forward after laying the ball off at the feet of Lansbury. The midfielder fed the Dutchman who was just beaten to the through-ball by keeper Joe Murphy, but from the same move the lively Jamie Paterson made it to the byline and forced Murphy into further action, when he had to punch away a vicious cross.
But just three minutes later The Reds nearly did beat Murphy. From their first corner Michail Antonio headed powerfully towards The Terriers' net and just Murray Wallace clearing on the line denied the winger his third goal in two games.
Darlow had to be on his toes just after the half hour mark when a deflected Adam Hamill cross very nearly dropped under his bar, but it was Forest who generally continued to probe. A deep cross from Hunt again found Antonio at the back post, where he's been such a danger all season, but the winger couldn't convert this time.
Just before half-time it was Veldwijk's turn to try and convert a cross. He took a ball down from Lansbury with his back to goal and managed to turn and get a shot away that slid just wide of the left hand post.
That marked the end of the half and it had been an entertaining one. The home side looked a little more dangerous at times, pouring forward in numbers, but The Reds' patient possession game, conducted by Tesche and Ben Osborn in central midfield, had impressed and Veldwijk and Antonio both had good chances to open the deadlock.
But the left winger was replaced by Chris Burke at half-time after clearly signalling to the bench just before the break that he was struggling with a knock.
Just two minutes into the second period it was Veldwijk again who had The Reds' travelling supporters on the edge of their seats as he broke into the box and hit a shot from a narrow angle that just slipped past the far post.
Then Adam Hamill, who had been The Terriers' most dangerous player in the opening 45 minutes, hit a low shot that tested Darlow on 50 minutes.
Chris Burke had come onto the right hand side, meaning Paterson had switched to the left flank, and he sent in a dangerous deep cross five minutes later to where Veldwijk was lurking, but Huddersfield cleared, before they went up the other end and nearly scored through Jon Stead.
Forest had started the second half slowly and the noise inside the John Smith's Stadium had picked up a few notches as Huddersfield continued to push for an opener. Stuart Pearce responded by bringing on Britt Assombalonga for Veldwijk on the 66 minute mark and the change had the desired effect.
In bizarre circumstances, Forest took the lead. A corner, won by Eric Lichaj, was cleared by the home side to Ben Osborn who played it wide to Jamie Paterson. The winger's flat cross was met by the head of James Vaughan who, under no challenge, inexplicably heading it into his own net in front of the travelling supporters.
Matty Fryatt replaced Paterson in the 79th minute and three minutes later The Reds put the game beyond doubt. A patient move built down the left hand side through the substitute Fryatt saw Osborn feed Lansbury in the middle and after a quick one two with Assombalonga he fired a neat effort home from the edge of the box.
Huddersfield went straight down the other end and nearly got one back, Hammill finding Vaughan at the back post, but he couldn't keep his header down, and in truth, since falling behind that was the only chance The Terriers had created.
And if any team was going to add to the scoreline, it only looked like being Forest. Osborn and Assombalonga could both have put further gloss on the result, but it stayed at 2-0 and Stuart Pearce's side go marching into the next round.

The regional final, sailed on the CYCA's fleet of Elliott 6m was a blast from the past for us, not having really sailed the boats since our Youth Scheme days at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. Even if the boats felt a bit smaller than they used to, it didn't take us long to get back up to speed and to figure out all the tricks we learnt all those years ago. The shifty South Westerly breeze on Sydney harbor ensured the racing was always interesting, with no lead, no matter how big, ever being safe. We really managed to get our heads around the conditions though, and being able to pick the first shift off the start line enabled us to establish early leads that we could then defend around the course.
The finals turned into a trans-Tasman battle as local sailor Evan Walker also qualified for the best of 5 final. His team had been sailing well all week and had produced some tough battles in the early stages of the regatta. We were confident in how we had been sailing during the week and knew we just had do produce much of the same to walk away with the title. In the end we made it look easy taking out the finals 3-0. It was great to once again put together a complete performance and we're definitely excited at the opportunity of taking on the other Nations at the World Final.
We now head back to New Zealand as we work up to our Northern Hemisphere tour kicking off later this year. We're also continuing to develop our relationship with Zoke, a Chinese based clothing company looking to expand its current product line and its markets. In the meantime we would like to thank Zoke for continuing to support us and our friends and family for sticking with us. We will be announcing exciting developments shortly so stay tuned for more.

Q: What are UVA rays?
A: UVA rays are harmful rays from the sun that penetrate deep into skin to cause long‐term visible signs of sun damage. UVA rays are also known to lead to early skin aging.
Q: What are UVB rays?
A: UVB rays are harmful rays from the sun that cause sunburn. Unlike UVA rays which penetrate deep into skin, UVB rays penetrate the surface of skin.
Q: Which is more harmful: UVA rays or UVB rays?
A: The majority of skin damage from the sun is caused by UVB rays—including certain skin cancers, skin aging, and sunburn—but both UVA and UVB rays are harmful and can contribute to skin cancer.
Q: What does "Broad Spectrum" mean on a sunscreen label?
A: If a sunscreen is labeled "Broad Spectrum", it means it has been proven to protect skin from the sun's two types of damaging rays (also known as UV rays). These two types of UV rays are called UVA and UVB, and they can both contribute to skin cancer and cause damage to skin.
Q: Are all Broad Spectrum SPF sunscreens the same?
A: No, not all Broad Spectrum sunscreens are created equal. Those formulated with HELIOPLEX® TECHNOLOGY offer clinically proven superior protection that goes beyond FDA requirements and is proven to be photostable.
Q: What does SPF mean? What does it measure?
A: SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and measures how well a sunscreen protects your skin from sunburn. Essentially, as the SPF value increases, so does your sun protection. But remember, SPF isn't the only thing you should read on a sunscreen label!
Q: Can I wear sunscreen during water activities?
A: Yes! In 2011 the FDA ruled all sunscreens intended for water activity be labeled water‐resistant. Look for this on the label in addition to the specified effectiveness time; either 40 or 80 minutes. Always remember to reapply after 40/80 minutes of swimming, immediately after towel drying or every 2 hours for maximum protection.
Q: How can I reduce my risk of sun damage?
A: Minimize your time in the sun and wear protective clothing—such as a long‐sleeve shirt, broad‐rimmed hat, and sunglasses. To reduce your risk of skin cancer, early skin aging and sunburn, use a sunscreen daily with Broad Spectrum protection, SPF 30 or higher.
Q: I heard the FDA wants to prohibit the labeling of sunscreens with an SPF level greater than 50 — is that true?
A: The FDA is currently deciding whether or not there should be a maximum SPF value. NEUTROGENA® scientists have submitted data to the FDA supporting the use of Broad Spectrum SPF values higher than 50.
Q: When should I use sunscreen?
A: Every day! Exposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can add up over time, all year long—not just in the summer. You may be surprised to learn that some common routines can increase UV exposure each week, including walking to your car on a cloudy day, driving to school in the morning, or working near a window.
Q: How much sunscreen should I use?
A: Dermatologists recommend that an adult use one ounce of sunscreen lotion—about the size of a golf ball—to cover their entire body. If you're using a sunscreen spray, apply it slowly and evenly until the product is "glistening" on the skin. This should take 2 to 4 seconds of continuous spraying per limb, and 5 to 8 seconds for the torso and back. For a stick sunscreen, apply 3 to 4 passes back and forth per area.
Q: What is a mole?
A: Moles are growths on skin. They are usually black or brown, and they are made up of cells, including pigmented skin cells known as melanocytes.
Q: Are moles dangerous?
A: Most moles are harmless, but a mole becomes dangerous when it develops into a skin cancer called melanoma. That's why it's important to check your skin every month in order to recognize changes in a mole that can suggest skin cancer may be developing
Q: Should I ever use a sunscreen with less than SPF 15?
A: At NEUTROGENA®, our experts recommend a daily Broad Spectrum SPF sunscreen of 30 or higher. Of course, you can always use daily moisturizer or make‐up containing an SPF of less than 15—as long as you apply an additional layer of Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to provide daily protection.

Hi, regarding Jira Issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3997 The fix version is listed as 10.4.2.1. I downloaded 10.4.2.1 from Sun in order to test the fix.

Vidant officials announce planned $1 million contribution to Belhaven
County commissioners must follow through on promise to donate $2 million
BELHAVEN, BEAUFORT COUNTY - Vidant Health officials have announced that they plan to contribute $1 million to the town of Belhaven, to go towards the operation of Vidant Pungo.
Town officials say they need $3 million to keep the hospital running. Beaufort County commissioners voted to give the town $2 million, and if they do so, Vidant officials say they will provide the other $1 million.
"That saves lives, granted it may only be 3 or 4 a month or a year or whatever, but that's just lives they're saving," said Belhaven resident Aaron Stevens.
This comes on the heels of last week's announcement from the NAACP, who had threatened to sue Vidant on behalf of Belhaven, that they had reached an agreement with Vidant officials to keep the hospital open.
Last September, Vidant officials announced that they would be shutting down the hospital in favor of a new 24-hour-care facility. The hospital was scheduled to be shut down on April 1st.
"It means a whole lot this is a lot of elderly people, we have a lot of young people, we have a lot of people in poverty, and a lot of people don't have transportation to get to Washington," said Belhaven Councilman Greg Satterthwaite.
Now, residents who were once speaking out against Vidant officials, are praising them.
"I think that was one of the nicest things that they could ever do," said Belhaven resident Arthur Bonner.
Vidant plans to run the hospital until June 30th. In the meantime, they will be helping the town form a board, which would then take over operations on July 1st.
"We needed the money and it's coming, everything is coming into place. All we need is time and people to work together, stay together, pray together and everything's gonna be all right," said Satterthwaite.
Vidant officials say the hospital will be free of any long-term debt, because they paid it off in 2011.
NAACP officials call the agreement a historic event, and an example of how to save rural hospitals across America.
