There is his devout belief in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, yet he chose a Catholic institution to study at for four years.
And there is this bit of personal information revealed on Thursday: He's incredibly sad that he no longer has to go to class.
Yes, the guy is unusual.
"Preeminent sports brands are rare," Fighting Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in speaking of Te'o. "Even rarer is an athlete that perfectly captures the essence of a sports program."
Te'o was honored – again – on Thursday with a sportsman ship award from the Awards and Recognition Association. It will be one of many honors that he will receive over the next couple of weeks. His schedule through the next 10 days includes trips to Charlotte, New York (twice), Orlando and Los Angeles, as he is a candidate for the Nagurski Award, Lombardi Trophy, Maxwell Award, Bednarik Award, Lott Trophy, Butkus Award, oh, and that one called the Heisman Trophy.
"I just go where I'm told," Te'o laughed regarding his travel plans.
But none of those were on his mind on Thursday, as he was melancholy in talking on the end of his school year, not the football portion, but the late-night studying in the library and having to write papers portion.
"All I've been thinking about is the time that I have left here at school with my peers and my classmates," Te'o said. "I'll be gone all next week, so today was my last day of school and today was just hard for me, to know that it has come to an end."
Te'o spoke of a lot of things on Thursday, things like hanging out with friends, going to the Irish basketball game against Kentucky later that night, college-life activities. He never mentioned the fact that in addition to the sportsmanship award, earlier in the day he had been named as a 2012 All-American first team selection by the American Football Coaches Association, as well as being chosen as one of five finalists for the Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the Year Award.
He didn't mention those things because his mind isn't consumed with them. Te'o is simply trying "to take advantage of every day" on the campus that he initially didn't understand (he failed to bring a coat on his first visit), yet has developed an undying affection for.
"I love Notre Dame," Te'o said emphatically. "I love this place. This place is definitely special. It's not a school. This place is not a school, it is a family. It is a place that you will always be connected with and welcomed for the rest of your life."
Te'o credited the Lord for steering him nearly 4,500 miles from home for college, and despite the weather, he has no regrets.
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," Te'o said. "And I can't picture myself anywhere else but here under the (Golden) Dome and with my teammates. I'm definitely going to miss this place. And I'm definitely grateful that I came here because it has been the best four years of my life."

Safety and Applicability Study of a Novel Heat Flow Sensor Unit for Measuring Urinary Bladder Capacity
Recruitment status was: Recruiting
|Overactive Bladder Urge Urinary Incontinence Enuresis Self Clean Intermittent Catheterization
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Random Sample
Primary Purpose: Screening
Time Perspective: Longitudinal
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Phase I Study for Evaluating the Safety and Applicability of a Novel Heat Flow Sensor Unit for Measuring Urinary Bladder Capacity
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 2006
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2007
The Primary objectives are to asses the safety and the physical performance of the SenseUrine's sensor unit and to validate the concept of determining bladder volume by measuring heat flow. The Secondary objective is to optimize the device accuracy Primary endpoints: To show that the sensor has no negative effect on the subject, to determine bladder urine volume, based on the sensor's signals, in an accuracy of ±10% compared to the actual volume. Secondary endpoint – to determine bladder urine volume, in an accuracy of ±10%, in different ambient conditions (temperature and clothing).
Inclusion criteria – All subjects will be aged 18-50, active, in good general health and without urinary complaints or documented urinary tract dysfunctions. Exclusion criteria – Pregnancy, breast feeding, known allergic sensitivity to medical adhesive tapes, cognitive incompatibility and mental incompetence.
On the first visit, the subject will sign an informed consent form. A medical intake including demographic data will be collected. Stage 1 will serve for basic testing of the sensor unit and for measuring the maximal and minimal bladder volume. The sensor will be attached to the lower abdomen wall and checked for functionality. Each subject will fill up his bladder (by drinking water) until sensing a strong urge to void. The subject will then void until he is empty into a measurement cup. Ultrasound measurement (US) of bladder volume, and sensor signal will be read and recorded by a standard miliVoltmeter just before and immediately after emptying the bladder. Sensor, US and cup measurement readings will not be done by the same investigator. Continuing to stage 2 will depend on the preliminary results (sensor readings compared to the measured volume and US readings) determining feasibility.. Stage 2 will serve for measuring the dynamics of bladder heat conductivity during the filling and voiding phases. On the 2nd visit the subject will fill up his bladder by gradually drinking 500CC of water (over 60-90 minutes) until sensing a strong urge to void. The subject will drink an additional 50-100CC of water and wait around 10 minutes in the aim of achieving maximal bladder capacity. The sensor signals will be recorded from the beginning of this bladder filling stage every 5-10 minutes. Then, the subject will be requested to void in a controlled manner and to intentionally stop urinating after emptying 50-100CC of urine (voided volume will be determined by the measurement cup). The controlled voiding of 50-100CC will be repeated until the bladder is empty. The sensor signals will be read and recorded during both stages. Visit 3 will be performed in the same manner but in different positions during measurements (supine-on the back, sides and front, sitting, and standing). Visit 4 (final visit) will serve for demonstrating the sensor unit's performance in different ambient temperature and clothing. Two subjects will be randomly selected to examine the sensor in an ambient of 15ºC (this will be controlled by an air-conditioned room with an external thermometer) for measuring the dynamic range (maximal and minimal bladder capacity). The same will be done at room temperature twice- with light and heavy clothing. The other 2 subjects will be randomly selected to examine the sensor's performance in an ambient of 40ºC (hot temperature will be achieved by an electric heater in a small room controlled with an external thermometer) for measuring the dynamic range (maximal and minimal bladder capacity). The same will be done at room temperature twice- with light and heavy clothing.
All output signals will be logged and processed to show the correlation between the calculated heat conductance of the bladder and the volume. A table consisting the calculated indexes of conductivity vs. bladder volumes will be designed.
General: 10 subjects will be recruited by advertisement with notification of some compensation for their time and travel to the study site. Every session will last about 4 hours long. In each working day 3-5 subjects will participate and the total trial period is expected to be approximately 20 working days.

Improvements Rolling Out at Lake Whitney State Park
WHITNEY — Spring brought a new activity to Lake Whitney State Park's popular mix of fishing, boating and wildlife watching: facility upgrading. Workmen are already busy on a host of improvements slated for this water-focused central Texas park.
Thanks to bond funding authorized by the Texas Legislature and approved by statewide voters, Texas Parks and Wildlife is boosting electrical services in several Lake Whitney camp loops, adding new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant restrooms in the recreation hall, building a brand new restroom in one camping area, adding new sewer lines in another, and upgrading four screen shelters and their amenities to meet ADA standards.
Almost $3 million in improvements are scheduled for 45-year old Lake Whitney, another checkmark on a long list of major Texas State Parks rejuvenation projects underway this year, all aimed at making the parks more fun, safer and customer friendly. Texas State Parks general obligation bonds have been sold to fund more than $44 million in repairs and renovations to park cabins, bathrooms, electrical and water systems, and other state park infrastructure. Along with fixing up more than 40 state parks, the bonds provide an additional $25 million to dry berth the Battleship Texas.
Lake Whitney Superintendent Jeffrey Towers said work began in early April on the first camping area most visitors see on entering. "We will get new electricity, new sewer and new water in the Big Trailer Park camp loop."
Most of the electrical work in that loop and several others consists of upgrading 30-amp outlets into the 50-amp pedestals needed by bigger and more energy-hungry modern camping vehicles. Lake Whitney State Park has numerous camping areas and four will get 50-amp outlets.
"They are mobilizing to really get after it," said TPWD project manager Greg Thelen. "Work will be staggered where possible to avoid shutting down too many camping sites at once. They will mainly focus first on the Big Trailer Park loop," said Thelen. "Once that is done, we are going to hit the rest of the (affected) loops in succession."
Many sites get more than upgraded. Eight current "water only" sites will also get 50-amp electrical pedestals and sewer capability. All the water lines are being replaced in the Big Trailer Park camping loop.
Improvements will not stop there. The park's recreational hall will get two new ADA-compliant restrooms, one each for men and women, to supplement its current restrooms. The building's entrance and exit will be modified to meet ADA standards.
ADA modifications are also coming to four of the park's 21 screen shelters — three in the main shelter area and one in the group camp area.
Most of the shelter improvements are outside, Thelen said. "It means pouring a concrete pad for parking that meets ADA standards, followed by a sidewalk, picnic table and a campfire ring, all of which are ADA compliant.
Yet another project, this one serving campers on the east side of the park, is the replacement of an existing restroom with a modern facility that is Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) compliant.
For swimmers and boaters, the park — only 61 miles south of Fort Worth and 38 miles northwest of Waco — is a doorway to almost all of 23,560-acre Lake Whitney on the Brazos River. The Lake was formed in 1951 when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dammed the river.
Located along the lower eastern shore of Lake Whitney three miles southwest of Whitney, the park is naturally geared to water lovers. Most of its camping areas are directly along the shore. In fact, many of the park's 131 campsite spaces are on small fingers of land jutting into the lake.
Many campers can stroll right into the water from their campsites, Towers said. "Most of our shoreline is rocky, but the swimming area is sandy. There are some small bluffs."
The park covers about 800 acres of both open and wooded land. There are two trails, each about a mile long, one for hiking only, the other for hiking and biking. A boat launch ramp can handle small flatbottoms to large pontoons. Nature lovers will find a wildlife observation blind on the east side of the park and an interpretive trail on the west side.
Lake Whitney is one of the few Texas State Parks boasting a private plane airstrip. "We have some people camping under their planes," said park office manager Sandra Davis. "The other campers go look at their planes and talk about them." Miniature aircraft groups also use the 2,000-foot paved runway.
Wildlife watching ranks high among Lake Whitney's most popular activities. Campers may spot deer, wild turkey, raccoons, possums, the occasional coyote or bobcat and, for the lucky and sharp-sighted, now and then a bald eagle. Feathered predators also include several kinds of hawks. Bird watchers can count on being busy; almost 200 winged species have filled birder checklists here.

A hike in the woods and in town revealed that the leaves have not reached peak colors yet. Many trees still are hanging onto green leaves, others are showing off yellows, reds, and oranges. Ray and I hike the waterfalls trail at Lake Catherine State Park. With all the previous rain, the waterfalls are running fast and strong. Gorgeous! We also walked the new Hollywood Park in town, following the Hot Springs creek. It's a beautiful multi-purpose path for bicyclists and walkers/runners.
November is one of our favorite months in Arkansas!
Lots of great outdoors activities, and beautiful colors. We'd love to welcome you at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn, and direct you to the best hiking trails!

Elizabeth Shown Mills, "Producing Quality
Research Notes," OnBoard 3 (January 1997):
Photocopies. Transcriptions. Abstracts. Extracts. Translations.
As genealogists, we have wide-ranging options in the production
of our research notes - so wide that many are baffled as
to what these options actually represent and when
one is the most appropriate.
Photocopies are the ideal choice, when working onsite
at a distant repository. They capture a document entirely,
so that we (or our clients) may study the record at our
leisure, with assurance that crucial details have not been
Yet, the ideal is not always practical. Duplicating machines
are not always available. Oversized or fragile materials
often cannot be copied. Some repositories impose prohibitive
costs or limit the number of pages.
Modern technology offers a possibility that is reasonably
affordable: the digital camera. Depending upon memory, such
a camera can capture dozens of images in a single session,
then download them into our computers as graphics.
Transcriptions are verbatim copies that exactly duplicate
spelling, punctuation, and all other aspects of the original.1
Transcriptions represent the second-most-reliable form
of notes that we can produce. They are also time-consuming
and, thus, are not a popular option for researchers with
limited time onsite.
Two situations compel the careful genealogist to invest
the time.
Abstracts are summaries that preserve every important
detail. Proper abstracts also preserve the exact arrangement
of the data. This advice, of course, contradicts the teachings
of many Genealogy 101 classes, in which students are encouraged
to use abstract forms for common legal records. Such instruction
ill serves the fledgling genealogist in two ways.
Abstracts are nonetheless useful, in at least two important
Obviously, an abstract may contain an extract, if certain
portions of a document are deemed so important that they
need to be recorded verbatim.
Often confused with the word transcriptions, translations
are similar in all but one important detail. Translations
are a complete recording that converts the text from
one language to another.
Researchers do have a variety of choices in the notetaking
process. Making the right choice is the factor that
often determines whether a research goal is met or a problem

A new road link to the A12 will solve traffic congestion caused by plans for thousands of new homes.
But there is no guarantee it will be built.
Chelmsford and Braintree councils are worried plans for 2,610 homes in north Heybridge and south Maldon will lead to congestion on the A414 through Danbury and the B1019/B1137 junction in Hatfield Peverel.
Traffic lights at Eves Corner in Danbury are planned to help traffic on the A414.
A new junction connecting the B1019 to the A12 would help solve the issues in Hatfield Peverel, but Maldon District Council said the "significant costs" mean it is currently unaffordable.
Instead, the councils will try to lobby for funding.

Matty, the Master Toy Collector of Mattel, has opened up a monthly question and answer session. From burning questions regarding MattyCollector.com to any one of Mattel's many amazing toy lines, Matty will try his best to answer them all.
Without further ado, here's Matty and his answers for today's Q&A...
1) Are there any other Masters of the Universe Horde members slated for release in 2010?
2) When will the packaging for Batlle Cat be revealed?Wed like to, but cannot comment on any figures beyond Moss Man until we see how the first few bonus figures do.
3) Is there any updated news you can share with us regarding the MOTUC 2-packs? Would you consider releasing alter-ego sets like a Keldor/Skeletor or Prince Adam/He-Man 2-pack?Likely by the end of the year.
4) Are there any plans to re-release the DCUC Wave 2 Aquaman with a stand?It is more likely the two packs will be army building figures while alter-egos would be great standard figures since most fans already have He-Man or Skeletor, and we dont want to force fans to re-buy the same figure they own for a new figure.
5) When can we expect to see Wave 11 of DCUC up for sale on mattycollector.com and what will the price point be?We do have plans to release this version of Aquaman, but how and when has yet to be revealed.
We are still working on these details. If we do get Wave 11 up on Mattycollector.com it will be at the same price as retail.Be sure and visit SuperHeroTimes.com for even more Matty Q&A!

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
Knowing how much little kids like to watch the same DVD for years on end, it is a wise mum who checks out any potential DVD purchases BEFORE they enter the house to avoid the later possibility of being driven crazy by the opening bars of a too-annoying theme song.
Happy news then when you hear that the latest Sesame Street DVD, Elmo's Animal Adventures is completely mum-friendly (but aren't all Sesame Street DVDs?!)
Full of the exhuberance we've come to expect from all Elmo-related fare, Elmo's Animal Adventures is a collection of three animal adventures starring our favourite little red monster: the first has Telly and Elmo dressed as Cow-monsters tracking a lost cow across the wilds of Sesame Street; the second has Elmo and Abby Cadabby playing the 'Find an Amphibian' game show ( and explaining the word 'metamorphosis' along the way); and the last follows Elmo and Chris as they camp out with a variety of forest animals.
While Elmo's Animal Adventures features guest appearances by Cameron Diaz and Patricia Arquette, the real star is, of course, Elmo!

NEARLY £12,200 has been raised to make little ones' visits to the Great Western Hospital as comfortable as possible, thanks to the Making It Better appeal.
Since the launch in August of the Adver's campaign for a children's section of the A&E department generous Swindonians have donated £12,177 towards iPads, toys and a refreshment stand for young patients.
The equipment will be placed at the hospital's new emergency ward ready for its official opening at the end of the month.
Building work began last summer on the creation of a dedicated children's A&E department, as well as a complete redesign of the Emergency Department.
The major revamp means children will no longer have to wait alongside drunk people on Friday and Saturday nights, in an often cramped waiting room, with harsh lighting and clinical surroundings during an especially upsetting time.
The custom-designed facilities will include a separate and calmer children's waiting room and treatment area with five private cubicles, away from the busy adult unit.
Colourful and welcoming decorations based on local pupils' artwork will also be painted on the walls.
The adult waiting area has also had a refurbishment, with new seating, a TV screen and refreshments.
Without the appeal, GWH would not have been able to afford little extras, such as games and computer tablets for the young patients.
Jen Green, the head of fundraising at Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We are thrilled with the response to our appeal. A massive thank you to everybody who has supported us. "Your donations have helped to create an emergency department to be proud of and feedback from staff and patients so far has been fantastic."
The sum however has fallen short of the Adver's £20,000 target.
In the last two weeks of the appeal, Adver editor Gary Lawrence encouraged townspeople to show their support to the thousands of children who will walk through the A&E's doors in years to come.
"Visiting A&E is an incredibly difficult time for children and it is made even more stressful by a lack of distractions to keep them as calm and relaxed as possible," he said.
"Toys, iPads, games and little extras will make an enormous difference for young patients "We need people's help to make the waiting area as welcoming and warm as we can. We are too close to our target to give up now."
Visit the Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/GWH-ED-Appeal or text GWED50 with your amount to 70070. People can also claim back gift aid at no extra cost.

When Relaxed Atmosphere throws a show, you'd better believe it's going to be a great turnout. In its second year, Relaxin' at the Rock has shown the country that Northwestern minitruckers are set to stake their claim on the map. June 26, 2010, marked the date, and Rooster Rock State Park in Portland, Oregon, served as the location for RA's NW chapter to host the event. With entertainment scheduled all day long, and a deep collection of tasty rides for spectators to drool over, it's safe to say that Relaxin' at the Rock will be a regional favorite for many years to come.

Yakima Gang Sergeant investigated nine times waits for his fate
YAKIMA, Wash. -- A decision looms on the future of a Yakima police sergeant. Sergeant Erik Hildebrand with the department's gang unit has been the subject of two internal investigations this year. The city has kept the details of those cases under wraps. However, KIMA dug deeper and found other investigations that go back more than decade.
KIMA obtained the details for several of the internal investigations surrounding Sergeant Erik Hildebrand.
There have been nine in twelve years. The allegations range from tasing inmates to having sex with a woman while in custody.
A complaint made in 2001claimed Hildebrand had sex in back of a patrol car with a woman he arrested.
And, that he fathered that woman's child. YPD documents say a paternity test cleared Hildebrand and found there was no evidence to support the claims.
Documents from 2005 indicated YPD found some validity to a claim of neglected duty against Hildebrand and other officers for inappropriately tasing an inmate. Each of the officers was sent for training.
Another issue with a woman surfaced in 2006. This internal investigation examined a claim that he was caught in the backseat of a patrol car with a woman in a parking lot by the Greenway. The report states a bike patrol employee spotted an unmarked police car with two shadows in the back seat "moving" and "shuffling around".
It indicates when the employee rode up Hildebrand rolled down the window and said quote: "Nothing is going on here, as you were." YPD documents show Hildebrand called the whole incident a prank when interviewed claiming he got in the back seat to scare the bike patrol. Investigators found insignificant evidence and closed the case.
These are in addition to one in 2011 that KIMA already reported. Investigators looked into claims he took an 18-year-old girl to a hotel, got her drunk and slept with her. That was never proven, but was reprimanded for losing contact with the department while on duty.
Three other investigations into Sergeant Erik Hildebrand's activity involved a car accident, a police pursuit and claims he left work to play soccer. All but one resulted in some form of disciplinary action.
Here are the complete internal investigations:

Cameras on Princes Freeway bridge nab more than 100 motorists a day
Speed cameras on one bridge on the Princes Freeway to Geelong are Victoria's busiest cameras, issuing more than 100 fines a day on average for exceeding the limit or driving an unregistered vehicle.
Inbound and outbound cameras on the Forsyth Road Bridge at Hoppers Crossing snared more than 9700 motorists in three months; the Western Ring Road in Sunshine West was the next highest site with 4655 offences.
The busy freeway between Geelong and Melbourne is Victoria's key road for camera fines, with five of the top 10 fine hot spots.
The July-to-September 2013 camera-fine figures show the top locations for mobile speed cameras as the Nepean Highway in Frankston and Ormond Esplanade in Elwood.
The state government's camera-fine data shows changing patterns of motorists caught speeding.
In April to June last year the Burnley Tunnel was the No.1 speed-camera zone with 6309 motorists fined, and in July to September 2012, the top location was the Western Ring Road in Keilor East with 25,000 fines.
Melbourne has almost blanket speed-camera coverage of its freeways, with the exception of the Tullamarine Freeway.
Asked about the lack of cameras there, a police spokeswoman said decisions on where to place fixed cameras were made by a committee that included representatives from Victoria Police, the Department of Justice and VicRoads.
''It is important to note that speed cameras are just one way in which speed limits are enforced. Police will continue to run regular operations along the Tullamarine Freeway, targeting not only speed but other road safety issues, including dangerous driving and mobile phone use,'' she said.
On Thursday, Victoria Police launched the Operation Amity road safety blitz for the Australia Day long weekend, targeting speed, impairment, distraction, fatigue and seatbelt offences.
Police will target low-level speeding, with research showing 20 per cent of fatalities in 2003 and 2008 involved vehicles travelling up to 10km/h above the speed limit.
''This is a significant issue, we have shifted the culture when it relates to drink driving, now it is time for people to start thinking about how they are putting themselves at risk if they are going to actually speed,'' Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill, Road Policing Command, told 3AW.

After breaking a significant number of stories for The Sunday Age as state political reporter, Jason was appointed City Editor for The Age.

Color blind.
Same reason he had trouble with the green signal stuff.
Really? I'm color blind as well but bright red colors are pretty distinguishable but I know it varies from people and I've had the similar issues with other games, at first I thought it was because he said the combat was dificult.

Lame Delegation
1. What is Lame Delegation?
One delegation is considered lame when the DNS server responsible for reverse resolution of some network does not answer with authority for that reserve zone when queried for SOA (Start of Authority).
The not authoritative answer to this query might have errors or other kind of response but the expected one from server with authority for a DNS zone.
2. Which are the responses the verification system might indicated in their Lame delegation checking?
AA - Authoritative Answer
This is not a error message and indicates that the DNS server has information about the domain or reverse zone in their local configuration files, i.e., this is a correctly configured server with authority for the domain or reverse zone.
No DNS query response received during the expected time.
NOAA - No Authoritative Answer
The server has information about domain or reverse zone but not from its configuration file and have learn it from another DNS server. So, this information can not be trusted.
UDN - Unknown domain name
The DNS server has no information about the domain or reverse zone it was queried about.
UH - Unsown host
The DNS server registered in LACNIC system as responsible for some network reverse resolution was not found in the Internet or it does not exist.
A failure occurred during the communication with the DNS server.
QREFUSED - Query refused
The DNS query was refused by the server.
CREFUSED - Connection Refused
The DNS connection was refused by the server. It might had happened because there was no DNS program running on this server.
CNAME - Canonical Name
The DNS server name registered in LACNIC system is not the real name of the server but a alias, what is a not recommend practice.
NOT SYNC ZONE - Not synchronized zone
The reverse zone configuration version in one of the DNS servers is different from the version in the others servers responsible for the same reverse zone.
3. Where can I find more information about DNS server configuration?
You can find more information about DNS server configuration at the following sites:
Or at the literature bellow:
- P. Albitz, C. Liu, "DNS and BIND, 4th. edition", OReilly & Associates, Inc. - ISBN: 0596001584
Obs.: At the link bellow it is possible to check Lame Delegation statistics related to address space under LACNIC responsibility.

Kahui had a "clean-up" operation on his shoulder on Friday, which had gone well, he said. It comes after the major reconstruction on the joint in June last year which ruled him out of all rugby.
"They took out some of the scar tissue to help loosen the shoulder up because it had been a little restricted," he said.
"That all went really well. I'm getting much more movement now. I'm just waiting for the swelling to go down and hopefully will get into some contact later in the week.
"It will just depend on how much contact I can get and how confident I am in the coming weeks as to whether I play in that first game [on Friday, February 22] or play in the second game, but it's looking really positive."
Kahui said the operation wasn't always planned - it had been hoped the shoulder would come right on its own - but it was better for the surgery to happen now rather than later.
The surgery means he will be unavailable for the Chiefs' third pre-season game against the Hurricanes in Mangatainoka on Saturday.
It has been a frustrating time for 27-year-old Kahui. Out for eight months - his big operation last year was June 23, a date he remembers clearly - he watched his Chiefs team win the Super Rugby title for the first time, with his All Blacks career also stymied.
A midfielder for the Chiefs, the All Blacks would have used Kahui, who has played 17 tests, on the left wing, instead he watched as 22-year-old Julian Savea took his game to the next level.
"While last year was a real proud time to be a Chief, winning our first Super 15 title and being with a great group of men. There's a little feeling you have as a player who isn't playing. You don't quite feel a part of it.
''This year I'm looking forward to putting in a lot of input and playing some really good rugby. It would be nice to be on the field and win a title. At this time of year every time wants to win it and that's certainly how we feel. It would be nice to be a key contributor to the team."
Kahui was present at Super Rugby's official launch at Auckland's Royal Akarana Yacht Club today.
Two players from each of the New Zealand franchises, along with NZRU chief executive Steve Tew, helped launch the new season.
Due to the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia this year, teams across the Tasman kick off a week earlier than the others. The season kicks off with a match between the Rebels and Force this Friday.
The New Zealand teams begin a week later with the Highlanders hosting the Chiefs. On Saturday, February 23, the Hurricanes host the Blues. The Crusaders have a bye.
Two notable differences for referees in New Zealand this season will be their pink strip, courtesy of a sponsorship deal with Pink Batts. They can also rely on more help from the television match official this season.

In Orwellian Fashion, Ryan Budget 'Repairs' Safety Net by Slashing It
Mar 20, 2012
By Elizabeth Lower-Basch
Programs that provide health care and food assistance are squarely in the cross sights of the proposed Fiscal Year 2013 budget released Tuesday by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan. His proposal singles out Medicaid and SNAP for cuts by converting them into block grants. Other domestic programs would also have to be slashed to achieve his proposed spending levels.
Rep. Ryan's proposal would exempt defense spending from budget cuts, take revenue increases off the table, and attempt to reduce the deficit entirely through cuts to mandatory and domestic discretionary programs. Because Medicare and Social Security benefits for current and near retirees are exempted, deficit reduction over the next 10 years largely would occur through cuts to programs serving low-income and disabled individuals.
The Ryan proposal would block the expansion of health coverage that is scheduled to occur in 2014 under the Affordable Care Act. It would then cut federal funding for Medicaid by more than 20 percent, and convert it to a block grant. As the Congressional Budget Office points out, there is simply no way to achieve savings of this scale in Medicaid, which is already among the most efficient health care providers, without cutting services. States would have to cut benefits, cut off recipients, or reduce already miserly payments to doctors and other health care providers. These cuts would grow over time because the block grant would not keep up with the growth in health care costs.
Similarly, the budget proposal would convert Food Stamps (now officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP) into a block grant. While the document does not provide full details on the proposal, the overall savings projected from agricultural programs imply that Ryan envisions billions in cuts. States would be forced to cut benefits, impose waiting lists, or both. Either approach would increase hunger. At the same time, states would be required use limited resources to develop new systems to monitor and track hours of work for SNAP recipients.
In an Orwellian twist, this section of the budget document is called "Repairing the Social Safety Net." The reality is that these proposals would badly weaken an already strained system, and leave it poorly prepared for the next recession. Lawmakers of both parties have repeatedly committed to the principle that deficit reduction should not come at the expense of vulnerable families and individuals. By that standard, this proposal must be rejected.

BWW Reviews: Black Lab Theatre's THE SUBMISSION - A Must See Topical, Realistic Dramedy
Looking ahead to the Chinese New Year, 2013 is the year of the snake. With my American and Western preconceived notions about snakes and their characteristics, I can't think of a better play to champion right now. Black Lab Theatre's Regional Premiere of Jeff Talbott's THE SUBMISSION is a wholly realistic one-act that features one of the most engaging and unflinchingly honest portrayals of tangibly real Americans I have ever seen. And his character Danny would be a perfect example of what we Westerners think of as a snake.
THE SUBISSION is about a struggling playwright (Danny), who puts an absurd ghost name on his most recently written play-Shaleeha G'ntamobi. Problems ensue when a prestigious festival actually picks up Danny's play. Danny hires an African-American actress, Emilie, to pretend to be Shaleeha G'ntamobi at the festival. Danny's partner, Pete, and Danny's friend, Trevor, support his writing and love his new play, but have difficulties fully backing his plan and offer support and advice along the way. Before long, the four characters are exposing and coming to terms with the non-politically correct truths that lurk under the progressive and accepting of everyone veneer of Generations X and Y, unraveling prejudices based on outward appearance, sexual preference, and even gender.
Direction by Jordan Jaffe is expertly paced and timed. No movement or utterance comes across as contrived or scripted even. This production honestly feels like watching real people react to a real situation. In the hands of a lesser director, the characters could slip into the realm of stereotypes that would deface the brilliant value of the work; however, Jordan Jaffe has pristinely steered his cast away from those pratfalls and, as a team, they have all created astonishingly real people displaying devastatingly real emotions from beginning to climatic and breath-stealing end.
Ross Bautsch deftly plays Danny, complete with a quintessentially authentic New York accent that is neither too thick nor too thin to get in the way of his performance. The audience loves Ross Bautsch's Danny, but they (and the other three characters) are also shocked by his struggles with constantly putting his foot in his mouth. Furthermore, as Danny is further conveyed to the audience, we see a man who is so passionate about his play and his work that he devolves to being a snarky snake that threatens to sue at any moment he feels his toes might be getting slightly stepped on. Ross Bautsh has created a multi-faceted persona for Danny that is as humorous as it is off-putting.
As Emilie, Candice D'Meza is a divine revelation of stagecraft. It would be easy to let Emilie be the stereotypic angry Black woman. But Candice D'Meza has ensured that her Emilie has layers and subtleties that make her complex, charismatic, and mesmerizing. We get to know Emilie as a compassionate and loving person. We get to see her reactions to feeling attacked. We get to see her develop and lose both trust and respect in a situation that sounded better on paper than it actually turns out to be. Candice D'Meza pristinely navigates these waters and brings to life a character that earns sympathy and respect from the audience because she is completely believable from beginning to end.
Pete played by Matt Benton is also a character that could easily become just another stereotype with no depth or soul. The actor could simply phone in his best Big Gay Al impersonation and be done; yet, Matt Benton goes far above and beyond this. Matt Benton's Pete is flamboyant and swishes, but only when it is appropriate for the character to behave in such a manner. Like Candice D'Meza's Emilie, the audience is captivated and emotionally connected to Pete. His affection for Danny mirrors our own, in a way. After all, like Pete, we want Danny to succeed because Danny is our main character, but also like Pete we must come to terms with Danny's unflinching and often inappropriate political incorrectness and lack of tact. While we can react however we want, Matt Benton's Pete reacts inside the situation and does so in substantially real moments that are wonderfully evocative and entrancing, ensuring the audience is affected by his personal story within the context of the play.
Darcy Cadman's Trevor is fun and funny. The audience simply enjoys his infatuation and flirting with Candice D'Meza's Emilie. In many ways, he is a mirror to how the audience reacts to and views Emilie. As he physically and emotionally falls in love and supports her, we love her for who she is as well. Like Darcy Cadman's Trevor we see a brave woman who is valuable and deserving of affection. As he is also involved with the action of the dramedy, Darcy Cadman's Trevor adeptly reacts to the events occurring around him. Like the others, Darcy Cadman creates a character that is undeniably real. He is relatable and wins us over from his first appearance on stage. The audience completely understands his views from beginning to end and will often find themselves in his corner.
Alex Jainchill's Lighting Design is perfect for the space and show. Alex Jainchill creates a nice ambient light for the scenes and keeps the actors in believable realistic lighting as they switch from the interior of Starbucks, to the interior of an apartment, to the interior of hotel rooms.
Claire A Jac Jones' Scenic Design is fantastic. She captures the mood and vibe of Starbucks with ease, but her best work has to be the two differing hotel rooms. Emilie, as part of the festival, gets a swanky room with neat, modern trimmings while Danny is in a crummy and seedy looking room that is realistically aged. The details of the stains on the chair, carpet, and door itself are all perfectly in place. It is these details that impress the most and showcase Claire A Jac Jones' skill and dedication to her art.
Costume Design by Macy Perrone is completely realistic and believable. Each character is clad in modern clothing that perfectly suits their personalities. No piece seems out of place or awkward.
Yezminne Zepeda's Sound Design works well with the piece. Her ambient noise for Starbucks is spot on perfect. Likewise, her choice of music for between the scenes fits with the show as a whole and does nothing to detract from the experience.
With all the laughs along the way, Jeff Talbott's play is fiercely intellectual and has an ending that is not a surprise, per se, but will still surprise audiences. This is the type of show that you'll be talking about for some time to come. Mix his great writing in with this phenomenal and magnificently talented cast and crew, and Houston has their first must not be missed straight play of 2013. Everything about this production is relevant, real, current, topical, and important. Without spoiling the evening, I will simply say that the message of this play needs to be heard by one and all.
The must-see Black Lab Theatre production of Jeff Talbott's THE SUBMISSION runs through January 27, 2013 at the Frenetic Theater at 5102 Navigation Boulevard, Houston, Texas. Because of language and content, the play is recommended for mature audiences.

Hello everyone,I'm hosting a non-profit website named pet pal - pet adoption site - http://petpal.co.ilI already got the website ready (soon forum too), got my own domain name and so on.
Currently my hosting company is brinkster, they were kind to give me a mini hosting package for free, but i suffer really slow load times in the last few days and im afraid thats because their data center is located in america.So I wanna move it to a new host.
Basicallly my 2 most important requirements are:1) the host should have a free or cheap hosting option for non profits, We are not able to afford high monthly payments at the moment.2) the data center should be located at europe or asia.
Please suggest me hosting companies here.
For the most part (places like Singapore, Hong Kong excluded), European data centres have far better connectivity and are built/maintained to a much higher standard. Look to the UK or Netherlands for best connectivity between Europe, the US and rest of the world.
When it comes to free offering or hosting for non profitable organisation, web hosts usually offer their entry level packages for free. If you want good service, you will need to pay for it. Perhaps you may find some kind of sponsorship to get funding.
Well A friend of mine suggested me iPage, but their datacenter is also located in the USA so im still wondering if i should try, anyone has any experience from that host?
nobody has any experience with that host or can suggest me any other good hosts?
Do some research on Europe / Asian based hosts? iPage are US. I do recommend Europe above Asia right now though.
Test drive 2-3 providers with a money back guarantee so you can assess who's network is faster, who's support is faster, etc?
Well I moved my website on a VPS with a datacenter in europe.My website is online and running smoothly so far but ill be giving it a testing of a few days.
If your website is not very loaded, I would recommend a good shared hosting plan with cPanel , which is less pricy then a VPS..

Of all the sources for inspiration to solve the NHL's labor problems, "The Simpsons" would seem an unlikely one, but that's what it has come to after two months of lockout and four months of fruitless negotiating.
"You gotta help us, Doc," Ned Flanders' mother said of her out-of-control son in the 1997 episode "Hurricane Neddy." "We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas."
What happens next is that Flanders enters the "University of Minnesota Spankological Protocol"—eight months of consecutive spanking—so, we know how NHL fans fit into this equation.
Meanwhile, yes, the NHL's plan is doing nothing.
As deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday night, his boss, Gary Bettman, proposed two-week moratorium on labor negotiations to the NHLPA, a move clearly designed to get negotiations on track by, uh, ummm…OK, it doesn't make any sense.
"I'm disappointed because we don't have a negotiating partner that has any genuine interest in reaching a deal," wrote Daly in an email to the AP, which is a thoroughly bizarre sentiment from the side asking for time off from talks. People who have a genuine interest in reaching a deal, after all, tend to try to negotiate.
But then, the league doesn't think the NHLPA has done that.
"They have utterly refused to negotiate for months," Daly wrote in another email to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "They have made essentially one proposal—five times. They continue to request a 'guaratneed' Players Share as part of the next agreement and we repeatedly tell them maybe they should get a reality check. And in the mean time, maybe they can make their position clear to us on 50-50, the make-whole and on Player Contracting issues."
Daly is right that the NHLPA has made little movement over the course of negotiations, but the NHL hasn't exactly been the model of bargaining in good faith, either. The only reason the league can say it has made significant steps toward the union is that its opening offer was designed to set the middle ground at a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenue, which was what the owners wanted—and what they've essentially gotten.
Daly's opposite number at the NHLPA, special counsel Steve Fehr, had a quick retort for Daly, and issued a statement Thursday night.
"Of course everyone on the players' side wants to reach an agreement," Fehr wrote. "The players have offered the owners concessions worth about a billion dollars (off the last collective bargaining agreement). What exactly have the owners offered the players? We believe that it is more likely that we will make progress if we meet than if we don't. So we are ready to meet. If indeed they do not want to meet, it will be at least the third time in the last three months that they have shut down the dialogue, saying they will not meet unless the players meet their preconditions. What does that tell you about their interest in resolving this?"
That's a posturing home run from Fehr, and a pretty effortless one thanks to the NHL's hanging slider over the middle of the plate. At this point, the union is well aware (as the NHL should have been) that the only people who care about the contents of a new CBA are the owners and players themselves. Everyone else just wants hockey, and that's not happening without negotiations. Even if the NHL and NHLPA go to see the new Twilight movie and spend the next two weeks on the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debate, it would look a lot better than telling arena workers, referees, sports bar owners, and everyone else that you want to stop talking.
Or, as Toronto Maple Leafs winger Joffrey Lupul put it on Twitter: "Ya lets take 2 weeks off negotiating. Great approach 10,000+ people out of a job because of this and we want to take a 2 week break."
Lupul is playing for Avtomobilist in the KHL during the lockout, so he's still making money, but he and his fellow NHLPA members missed their third checks from their regular clubs on Thursday. What happens in another two weeks? Missed payday number four.
The NHL knows full well that its main source of leverage is that most players aren't getting paid, and that players skating in Europe and the AHL are doing so, for the most part, on vastly reduced salaries. What could possibly motivate the NHL to call for a two-week break, a proposal that even the tone-deaf league had to know would go over like a stale fart with the public? If you can't convince the players to let you bleed them dry at the negotiating table, why not do a little bloodletting with the calendar?
It's a strategy that requires far less effort than formulating new proposals to actually end an utterly useless lockout that has already done enough long-term damage to the NHL to wipe out any gains that would be made by either side with a "win" at the negotiating table. But what else can they do? After all, they've tried nothin' and they're all out of ideas.

Japanese Bantam
Breed Rating (7 Reviews)
Developed in Japan as early as the 7th Century probably from Indo-Chinese stock, the Japanese or Chabo Bantam was first introduced to Europe as early as the sixteenth century. It has very short, clean yellow legs and the long tail is carried high and points well forward. This is normally described as being squirrel-tailed and is a disqualification in most breeds. The body is almost U-shaped as a result with the wings held so low that the tips actually touch the ground. They have an evenly serrated single comb which in the male tends to be rather large, and the face and ear lobes are bright red. They have a rather waddling gait due to their short legs and broad build.
The Japanese is an ideal bird for people who are fond of their lawns and gardens because they are not good diggers as their short legs stop them from damaging the ground. The hens make an excellent broodies and are also very protective mothers to the chicks which hatch after 20 days incubation. They may find being outside in foul weather difficult because of their short legs and fancy feathering but they are well suited to being kept in confinement in town gardens. They should be kept in a very clean henhouse as their wingtips touch the ground and can be easily soiled. Japanese Bantams with large combs need extra protection to these during cold frosty weather as they can become prone to frostbite. As they are such small, light birds, some can be very good fliers so boundaries need to be secure. They lay few eggs and these tend to be very tiny indeed. They are long-lived birds and therefore make excellent pets. They are ideal birds for children as they are generally friendly, calm and trusting but the cocks can be aggressive, however, the cocks don't tend to crow very loudly.
Japanese Bantams can be found in various colours, including Black-tailed White, Black, Mottled, Black-tailed Buff, Buff Columbian, White and Grey of which there are a number of different varieties. There are also several varieties including the Frizzle feathered, silk feathered, rumpless and bearded. There is even a large combed subspecies in which the males have an enormously oversized comb.

Latest Reviews For Japanese Bantam (5 of 7)
Awesome breed - Caitlyn,
- Notcitygirl,
I have little white Japanese hen she is so cute and friendly. I love her very much, her name is Chicki
Gorgeous George & Pretty Peppa - Julie,
We have a male and female black tailed white Japanese bantams. We acquired them by accident as they were hanging around my husband's factory in the middle of an industrial estate, living in the coal yard next door. They had been begging for food for about a week when my husband decided that he needed to catch them and bring them home to live with us. When they arrived home you could not tell what they were because they were very thin and dirty. We have had them since November 2009 and they live quite happily with our 6 ex batts. They are so beautiful now you would not think they were the same birds. George and Peppa have beautiful black tail feathers that stand so proud, especially George's. Ours are not aggressive, not to each other, the ladies or us (we have 4 small children), they are very timid and only let you go within a few feet of them before they move. Maybe something to do with their earlier life, not sure. George cockadoodle dos all day long which is great to hear, (not too loud if you have neighbours). Peppa lays on average 5 eggs each week. I would recommend them because they look beautiful and are easy to look after, but so are my ex batts.
The best chickens for children! - Erin,
Japanese bantams are great pets for kids because of the calm, loyal, and loving nature! They are good for gardens because scratching is difficult for them because of their short legs. They are great show birds because of their arched back and high tail feathers. Overall, out of all the chickens I've had these are the best!
Friendly and hardy breed - Vicky,
We own around 20 japanese/pekin crossbreds. I have owned many pure jap bantys before. They are a superb breed and despite their small size, they are extremly hardy birds and I have many japanese bantams around 8 years old. They lay small white eggs and are regular layers, you can expect one egg a day from them. They can be quite flightly and the roosters crows are loud and screechy. They are great garden pets and are very well natured, they handle well and the males are not agressive.

I have a little confession to make. I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but when I was taking photos of today's steal, the My Minds Eye, So Sophie, Graceful and Savvy collections, my eyes got a little misty. Okay, a tear dropped...it was just one of those days. Yeah, that's my excuse.
Why would I get so emotional about a scrapbook product? Simply put, it's gorgeous. It has been a long time since a product has moved me so profoundly before even creating with it.
I went to the store looking for something fun to play with and $3.00 later I settled upon these wooden plaques to alter.
I picked out a few of my favorite sheets of papers and turned to my Silhouette for some fun shapes to cut out. I also had to use some of the amazing stickers and die cuts that come with the So Sophie collections and satisfied my Glimmer Mist addiction and with a little Old Lace to everything.
I love how these turned out. Who knows, maybe I even shed a little tear of happiness because they were so fun to make—but that will forever be my secret. ;)

I'm not sure if I ever saw Brad Stevens name come up in an NBA rumor. He was one of the least likely to go. People had a hard time believing he'd jump to a high major university, much less to the league. But he's gone. So who might be next?
Fred Hoiberg, Iowa State
A total of zero people would be surprised if Hoiberg took an NBA job. Iowa State fans – who have watched their team win two regular season conference championships in their lifetimes – hold fast to the Hoiberg's quotes about wanting to raise his children in Ames. Well, wanting to do that, and doing it, are two separate things.
Hoiberg might be the most attractive college coach to NBA execs. He spent ten years in the league as a player, and another four in the front office. He's both respected and liked, which is a rare combination.
But he also seems happy in Ames, which is where he was raised, and now he coaches at his alma mater. To pry him out of the college ranks an NBA team will have to deliver a lengthy and lucrative contract.
Larry Brown, Southern Methodist
In the past 49 years, Larry Brown has had 14 coaching jobs. A total of one of those jobs (Philadelphia) lasted longer than five years. In Philly he lasted six. Now he's in to year No. 2 at SMU, which is how long he lasted with the Carolina Cougars, UCLA, the New Jersey Nets, the LA Clippers and the Detroit Pistons. He's already outlasted his tenure with the Knicks, where he was the highest paid coach in the history of the game.
So he can't stay still, and now he's 72-years-old. Sounds to me like one more shot at his 2nd NBA Championship. Of course he says he's sticking around and he loves the college game, but it would be pretty difficult to recruit if he didn't say that.
Andy Enfield, Southern Cal
Enfield is a coach who might be better suited for the NBA than college. He spent several years coaching in the NBA with Milwaukee and Boston, and then he worked with NBA players as a consultant, focusing on improving offensive skills.
Sure, he's only entering his 3rd year as a college head coach, but the NBA is more likely to go outside the box than is a major college. Enfield could probably be picked up for relatively cheap.
Jay Wright, Villanova
Jay Wright understands the temptation of coaching at the highest level. When asked about reports that the Nets might call him in 2010, he famously quipped that he "hopes no one contacts me and I can just coach at Villanova." The urge to coach in the NBA goes beyond the money and the lack of recruiting. It's the highest level of basketball played in the world. If you can succeed in the NBA then you've really made it.
More recently, Wright talked with Colin Cowherd about the tough decisions college coaches have to make when the NBA calls.
Tom Izzo, Michigan State
It blew my mind when I found out that Izzo was contemplating taking the Cavaliers job a few years ago. He was never even on my radar as a guy who might leave the college ranks.
And I still don't think he will, but he's obviously thought about it. And with his leverage at the college level, he could end up with just a massive contract in the NBA.
I don't think it will happen, but if it does, I wouldn't bet against his ability to succeed.

Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti
Warning: Make at your own risk… Highly addictive, hard to eat just one!!
I loved everything about these cookies. The dough was easier to work with than the biscotti without butter, the texture was moist and chewy, and the pistachios, heavenly! Only problem is I ate more than my share. So if you make these, you might want to only make half! Don't say I didn't warn you!!
You can make these without the butter using the same method I used in my chocolate chocolate chip biscotti recipe, for a crispier biscotti, and only 2 points plus each. Enjoy!!
Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 24 • Size: 1 biscotti • Points +: 3 pts • Smart Points: 4
Calories: 103.6 • Fat: 4.3 g • Carb: 14.8 g • Fiber: 1.0 g • Protein: 2.5 g
- 1-2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened good quality cocoa powder
- 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup whole pistachios
- 2 oz butter (1/4 cup), softened
- 3/4 cup superfine sugar (you can put sugar in food processor)
- 2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 375°. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add pistachios, and mix.
In a mixer, mix butter and sugar on medium speed for 1-1/2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time.
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined to make a dough.
Remove the dough and using your hands, divide the dough into two or three pieces and form into long flat shapes about 8 long x 1-1/2 inches wide. Place on the lined baking sheets and bake 20 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, gently cut the loaves on the angle into 1/2 inch slices (a serrated bread knife works best). Return to the baking sheet fitting as many as you can on the baking sheet, you may need to do this in batches. Bake the biscotti for another 3-4 minutes on each side, less if you like it softer. Makes about 24.

Class III Futures
Overnight, class III is getting pummeled. Milk production is a big part of it, technical selling another. Milk is down, other products are on offer, whereas the likes of butter had been on feature as a bid market for a period of time; it can now be bought at unchanged with ease and lower without breaking a sweat. Good volume on the downside move means the bear is showing its claws and watch out below with all the recent wave of news related to increased milk production the momentum is turning and by 4th quarter, the bull like the bully might have things reversed and get stuffed in a locker.
Class III futures ended the week with prices settling between 9 cents lower and 5 higher ahead of the release of the Milk Production Report for the month of June despite gains posted during the spot cheese session in both the Block and Barrel markets. The third quarter futures pack average fell 6 cents lower for the day, but rallied 41 cents week over to settle at the price of $21.06.
The Milk Production Report for the month of June released Friday posted with bearish results in our opinion versus expectations. Milk production for the month of May was revised 27 million pounds higher while the total cow number was revised 3,000 head higher. Total U.S. production for June was estimated at 17.265 billion pounds; down 1.34% from May's level while 1.95% higher than during the same period last year. Total U.S. milking cows were estimated at 9.266 million head, up 0.12% month over month, while milk per cow was estimated at 1,863 pounds, down 1.48% month over month. For the 23 states, total production was estimated at 16.177 billion pounds, down 1.22% month over month while 2.00% higher year over year. Milking cows for the 23 states were estimated at 8.570 million head, up 0.13% month over month, with production per cow estimated at 1,888 pounds, down 1.32% from the month prior.
Over 80% of the state of California is now within an extreme drought condition, up from 68% three months ago. Coupled with the high temperatures registered in the region milk production has suffered, though the declines in daily milk production has been seen recently in the surrounding states as well. After speaking with some producers in the region we have heard of milk intakes falling by as much as 10% in the last couple weeks, lending support to the markets amidst rapidly declining international prices.
For the week ending July 5th the dairy cow slaughter under federal inspection decreased by 6,100 head (12.8%) week over week to 41,600 head. The year-to-date slaughter now totals 1,448,700 head, 10.7% lower than during the same period last year.
We look for Class III to open 5 to 15 lower
Cheese Futures
Cash-settled cheese futures settled for the week with mixed prices, closing between 1.0 cents lower and 0.6 higher, with the gains posting in the deferred month contracts. The third quarter futures pack finished out the week at the price of $2.0067, down 0.40 cents for the day while gaining a total of 3.84 cents week over week.
The National Dairy Products Sales Report (NDPSR) for the week ending 7/12 posted with the Block Cheddar cheese price at $2.0315, down 0.87 cents week over week with total sales estimated at 13,322,925 pounds, an increase of 28.9% week over week. The Barrel Cheddar price gained 0.23 cents, posting at $2.0502, with total sales estimated at 10,609,167 pounds, up 22.2% from the week prior. The weekly cold storage holdings report for selected storage centers for the week ending 7/11 posted with cheese stocks estimated at 90.198 million pounds, down 2.0% week over week while 22.1% lower compared to the same period last year. Last week's GDT auction held on July 15th resulted in the all-contracts Cheddar cheese price fell lower by 1.6% to $1.8887.
The GDT price index fell by 8.9% during this event, while having fallen 35% lower since February. The Dairy Market News (DMN) bi-weekly international prices report released July 17th revealed weakness in the Oceania Cheddar price again, this time falling 3.40 cents lower (-1.65%) to $2.0298.
We look for cheese futures to open lower
Class IV Futures
Class IV futures finished out the week between unchanged and 19 cents lower as both component markets succumbed to selling pressure. The third quarter futures pack average slipped 3 cents lower on Friday to settle at the price of $22.89 while increasing by a total of 53 cents week over week.
We look for Class IV to open lower
NFDM Futures
NFDM futures fell to bearish pressures Friday as contracts settled between unchanged and 2.250 cents lower. The third quarter futures pack average fell 0.250 cents on Friday to end the week at the price of 177.333, yet gained a total of 0.341 cents week over week.

The recent GDT auction resulted in the all-contracts SMP price dropping 7.1% lower to $1.5947, and when adjusted to the approximate NFDM equivalent to $1.6914. The all-contracts WMP price followed suit, declining by 10.9% to $1.4009. The DMN international prices report out last week posted with the Oceania SMP price falling down 8.40 cents (4.81%) to $1.6840 while the WMP price dropped 9.64 cents (5.72%) to $1.5876. The Western Europe SMP price declined by 1.13 cents (0.65%) to $1.7407 while the WMP price fell 7.37 cents (3.64%) lower to $1.9505.
The August NZX SMP contract settled at $3,550/MT, down $200/MT from the week prior while the August WMP contract settled down $230/MT from the week prior at $2,900/MT.
We look for NFDM to open soft

Match Play
Number of Players: The maximum number of players on the field per team shall not exceed three (3). There is no goalkeeper. Matches may be played with fewer players so long as each team has an equal number of players on the field.
Match Length: Matches will consist of two 20 minute halves with a 5 minute half time. No time-outs are allowed. Referee's may stop the match for injuries.
Matches will be officiated by a coach from each team. A match timekeeper may keep time from the sidelines or a coach may do so on the field. There will be no line judges used.
Spectators: All spectators must sit on the opposite side of the field from the teams. Spectators must sit behind the dashed parent boundary line.
Offsides: Offsides will not be called.
Slidetackles/Playing on the Ground: Slidetackles are NOT allowed under any circumstances and will result in an indirect kick for the opposite team. Repeated slidetackling is grounds for a player being sent off the field. Players may NOT play a ball while on the ground – this creates a dangerous situation and will result in possession being awarded to the opposing team with an indirect free kick. This includes sliding saves and players falling on top of the ball.
Start of Play: Field sides shall be chosen by coin toss or mutual agreement of the coaches. The team which wins the coin toss shall decide to either kick-off or choose which side of the field to defend. If kick-off is chosen, the team losing the coin toss shall decide which side of the field to defend. Match play begins from the midfield has mark and opposing players must remain outside the center field circle until the ball is kicked.
Stoppage of Play:
- If the ball is kicked out of bounds on the side of the field, possession is lost and play resumes with a normal throw in. If a player commits a foul during a throw in (Lifted foot, improper throw), they are allowed to attempt the throw in again.
- If the ball crosses the end of field boundary and was last touched by the attacking team, possession is lost and play resumes with a modified goal kick by the defending team. The ball shall be placed anywhere on the end of field boundary on the side of the goal the ball went out on. The defending team then kicks the ball back into play.
- If the ball crosses the end of field boundary and was last touched by the defending team, possession is lost and play resumed with a normal corner kick.
- Defensive players cannot touch the ball in the box in a way that prevents the scoring of a goal. Teams doing so will lose possession and play is restarted with a corner kick. Coaches should NOT 'teach the box' to players. Simply call the rule as necessary and understand the box exists to prevent teams from using 'pseudo' keepers.
- If the ball comes to a stop within the goal box, a goal kick is awarded to the defensive team.
- Opposing players must remain 3 or more yards away from goal or corner kicks until the ball is kicked into play. If a player encroaches this area before the kick, the kick will be taken over. Opposing players are encouraged stay behind the midfield line until goal kicks are taken.
- All goal and corner kicks are INDIRECT.
- A ball is considered out of bounds when the ENTIRE ball has crossed the boundary plane.
- All fouls result in INDIRECT kicks from the spot of the foul unless they occur inside the goal box. Fouls inside the goal box result in a goal kick (offensive foul) or corner kick (defensive foul)
- Players who fall on the ball are creating a dangerous situation of play. If a player falls on the ball during play, play is stopped and the OPPOSING team is given an indirect kick.
- Per US Youth Soccer guidelines, intentional heading of the ball is not allowed. Any intentional heading results in a stoppage of play with an indirect kick awarded to the OPPOSING team.
- A goal is scored when the ENTIRE ball crosses the goal line.
- Goals cannot be scored from behind the mid field line. Restart play with a goal kick.
- Scores and standings are not kept.
Substitution: Substitutions may be made by either team during any stoppage of play.
Overtime: No overtime play is allowed as score is not kept.
Version 6.1 11/23/2015

Low fertility in dairy cattle has prompted new research evaluating intrafollicular insemination (IFI) as an alternative to common artificial insemination (A.I.) practices. IFI is based on direct introduction of sperm to a pre-ovulatory follicle.
Conducted during the summer, the European study was performed on a 50-cow dairy with low fertility. According to the research design, following estrous detection 17 cows were inseminated using IFI, and the remaining 33 cows were bred using traditional methods, depositing semen into the uterine body (IUI).
Results captured from the study include:
Four cows in the IFI group became pregnant, yielding a 23.5 percent success rate.
Three cows in the IUI group became pregnant, yielding a nine percent success rate.
On eight to 11 days post-insemination, ovulation failure was recorded in three and four cows of the IFI and IUI groups, respectively.
After analyzing results, researchers suggest that IFI could be used as a substitute procedure to the traditional breeding methods of depositing semen into the uterus in cows with low fertility.

"Why should you suffer through a 140-minute Russian film that is basically a contemporary remake of The Book of Job? Because it's a stupendous piece of work, that's why, and because it represents the kind of challenging, intimate filmmaking that transcends language and borders." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.
A Russian fisherman fights back when a corrupt mayor tries to seize possession of his ancestral home.
