Obamacare is turning out to be an omnibus bill to promote a number of presidential and government priorities, from immigration reform to anti-smoking campaigns. I just wonder how long it will be before gun owners will be required to pay a surcharge because they are a cost driver for health care.
Charles BeardsleyThe 2012 Coats for Kids Children's Winter Coat collection program was an outstanding success. A total of 3,107 coats were distributed prior to the December school holiday break. Thanks to wonderful donors we were able to deliver all the increased number of coats requested.
Our sincere thanks go to 21 Alive for their outstanding media support of this Fort Wayne holiday season tradition; to our great partners, Kroger and Scott's Food Stores, Oasis Radio, and Peerless Cleaners; Wells Fargo Foundation for a major donation that allowed us to purchase 200 coats; Fort Wayne Fire Department, Station No. 9 and firefighter Doug Call, who collected over 500 wonderful coats and delivered coats to local schools; residents of Shepherds House for donations of new coats; to teachers and case managers who took the time to "place an order" for the number of coats and sizes that were needed; to Early Childhood Alliance, CANI, Vincent Villages and SCAN case managers who placed orders for hundreds of coats for their clients; to the Komets and Mad Ants, who collected coats at their home games and offered incentives to their fans who donated; Best Winter Hats for donation of 200 new hats; Oakwood Elementary School for collecting hats and gloves; to our knitters who produced hundreds of sets of knitted goods that went with a majority of the coats; to the RSVP volunteer team who sorted vast mountains of coats, matched mittens, scarves and hats, and filled the orders for each group; and to every person who took the time to donate coats.
Please remember this great Fort Wayne tradition again next year.
Jean Joley, executive director, Volunteer Center @ RSVPI see we have a law that says we can't smoke in bars. The city doesn't have anything to do with these bars, but we have police officers who smoke in city-owned cars. If I can't smoke in a bar why can they smoke in city cars? I know they have laws and we have laws. I don't think so.
Mr. Doctor in City Council, you made the law. Let's do something, and Mr. York, you do something.
I had to go to the Allen County Jail. I go in there, a person right by the door is smoking. I look up, it is a worker that checks you in.
I said, "You can't smoke here." He said, "Shut up, I can do what I want."
If you look at the ground you see a lot of butts there. I called the county jail, and they said don't worry about it. I called the sheriff, and they said, who cares? Now I see the law is only for everyone but the county workers. I don't think so.
If I can't smoke there, they can't. Let's do something about this law that is being broken.
Tom CookIn late November, the Georgetown Square Espresso Gallery closed. Initially, they had a sign saying that they were closed for remodeling. The sign was taken down and no reason was posted on the store window. I knew it was closed for good when I saw "Shop at Georgetown" banners, which are put in the windows of empty stores throughout the shopping center.
I hope Georgetown Square will get a new coffee shop, be it Starbucks or something else. I miss having a coffee shop in Georgetown.

TULARE, Calif. -- Alfalfa hay prices in the western U.S. may come down or "soften" this spring, according to one expert.
But the reason isn't the most pleasant.
Prices are subject to weakness because the biggest customers for alfalfa hay — dairy farmers — are experiencing financial difficulty, especially the ones in California.
In some ways, it's surprising that hay prices haven't fallen more, points out Seth Hoyt, editor of The Hoyt Report, a weekly hay market newsletter.
Hay prices have been propped up to some degree by the high price of corn, he told those attending a World Ag Expo seminar on Tuesday.
"Hay was more competitive in dairy cow rations because of the price of corn," he said.
For instance, in central California last September, there was a $75 per ton price spread between rolled corn and supreme alfalfa hay, with rolled corn being the higher of the two. That spread got down to about $20 per ton in January, but has since gone up to $30 to $34, he said.
Exports have also added strength to the hay price.
The amount of alfalfa hay going to China doubled in 2012 from 2011, he said. And, the trend will continue into 2013.
"(The Chinese) are going to need a lot of hay," he said. The Chinese government wants to double the country's milk production in the next five years, he said, and that will require a lot of quality hay.
Regarding hay prices this year, Hoyt offered a short-term outlook.
In April, he predicts that prices for early first-cutting supreme alfalfa hay will be around $240 to $250 per ton (delivered) in central California. Similar hay in other parts of the West will be about $200 to $220 per ton, he added.
"If the milk price gets stronger ― $19, $20 or more ― then ladies and gentlemen, all bets are off (and hay prices could go higher), because we're not going to have an oversupply of hay," Hoyt said.

Cut your tax bill to the bone by claiming all the breaks you deserve -- including some you may not know about. Kiplinger breaks down the most overlooked tax deductions. [ + - ]
State Sales Taxes -- Although all taxpayers have a shot at this write-off, it makes sense primarily for those who live in states that do not impose an income tax. [ + - ]
Reinvested Dividends -- Don't forget to include mutual-fund dividends that are automatically invested in extra shares. Otherwise, they'll be taxed twice. [ + - ]
Student Loan Interest Paid By Parents -- A child who is not claimed as a dependent can deduct up to $2,500 of student-loan interest paid by their parents. [ + - ]
Out-Of-Pocket-Charitable Deductions -- you can write off out-of-pocket costs incurred while doing work for a charity, such as driving costs or ingredients for food prepared for a nonprofit organization's soup kitchen. [ + - ]
Job-Hunting Costs -- If you're looking for a job in the same line of work, you can deduct job-hunting costs as miscellaneous expenses if you itemize. They must exceed 2 percent of your adjusted personal income. [ + - ]
Moving Expenses For Your First Job -- To qualify, your first job must be at least 50 miles from your old home. If you qualify, you can deduct the cost of getting yourself and your household goods to the new area. [ + - ]
Military Reservists' Travel Expenses -- Members of the National Guard or military reserve may tap a deduction for travel expenses to drills or meetings. To qualify, you must travel more than 100 miles from home and be away overnight. [ + - ]
Self-Employed Medicare Premiums -- People who continue to run their own businesses after qualifying for Medicare can deduct the premiums they pay for Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D and the cost of supplemental Medicare policies. [ + - ]
Child Care Credit -- Parents can qualify for a tax credit worth between 20 percent and 35 percent of what you pay for child care while you work. [ + - ]
Estate Tax On Income In Respect Of Decedent -- If you inherited an IRA from someone whose estate was big enough to be subject to the federal estate tax, you get an income-tax deduction for the amount of estate tax paid on the IRA assets you received. [ + - ]
State Tax Paid Since Spring -- Did you owe tax when you filed your 2010 state income tax return in the spring of 2011? Remember to include that amount in your state-tax deduction on your 2011 federal return. [ + - ]
Refinancing Points -- When you refinance, can deduct the points on the new loan over its lifetime. That means you can deduct 1/30th of the points a year if it's a 30-year mortgage, resulting in $33 a year for each $1,000 in points you paid. [ + - ]
Jury Pay Paid To Employer -- If you have to turn over any jury pay you earn to your company's coffers, you can deduct that amount from your taxes that year. [ + - ]
American Opportunity Credit -- This tax credit is available for up to $2,500 of college tuition and related expenses paid during the year. [ + - ]
Baggage Fees -- If you're self-employed and travelling on business, be sure to add those mounting baggage fees to your deductible travel expenses. [ + - ]
Energy-Saving Home Improvements -- This credit is worth 10 percent -- or up to $500 -- of the cost of qualifying energy savers, including new windows and insulation. [ + - ]
Additional Bonus Depreciation -- Business owners can write off 100 percent of the cost of qualified assets placed in service during 2011. This break applies only to new assets with recovery periods of 20 years or less, such as computers, machinery, equipment, land improvements and farm buildings. [ + - ]
Break On The Sale Of Demutualized Stock -- If you sold stock in 2011 that you received in a demutualization, be sure to claim a basis to hold down your tax bill. [ + - ]
Homebuyer Credit -- This credit ended in 2010, except for members of the uniformed armed services, the foreign service or the intelligence community who were on extended duty outside the U.S. at least 90 days between December 31, 2008, and May 1, 2010. [ + - ]

- How to Read a Study Record
To determine the relationship of viral susceptibility to zidovudine (AZT) and baseline viral load (as determined by plasma viremia and quantitative endpoint dilution). To determine the relationship between viral load and susceptibility during different antiretroviral therapy strategies. To correlate measures of viral load and short term clinical and laboratory markers (such as weight, CD4 count, p24 antigenemia, and beta2 microglobulin) on the different therapy arms.
High-grade resistance to AZT has been detected in HIV isolates from approximately 25 percent of individuals with AIDS who received AZT for at least 1 year. To elucidate the clinical significance of in vitro AZT resistance, it is necessary to distinguish between clinical failure caused by AZT resistance and clinical decompensation caused by other factors.

High-grade resistance to AZT has been detected in HIV isolates from approximately 25 percent of individuals with AIDS who received AZT for at least 1 year. To elucidate the clinical significance of in vitro AZT resistance, it is necessary to distinguish between clinical failure caused by AZT resistance and clinical decompensation caused by other factors.
One hundred-twenty patients who have been receiving AZT for at least 1 year are randomized to 1) continue with AZT, 2) switch to treatment with didanosine at 1 of 2 doses, or 3) receive both AZT and ddI. Treatment is given for 16 weeks, with a possible extension to 32 weeks. Patients are followed at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16. For analysis purposes only, patients are stratified according to degree of susceptibility of HIV isolates to AZT.

By the age of 16 this singer/mandolinist had joined bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley's band. After a stint in Emmylou's Hot Band, he helped launch country's New Traditionalist movement in the early '80s, which brought mainstream country closer to its roots. He's now fully returned to his own roots with one of the finest traditional bluegrass albums of the '90s. 11/15/1997 - Don Yates

Great post. I hope kenny kyle reads this.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I was thinking about the whole earn your minutes thing today and wondered why the jazz even drafted burks.
I mean they must have watched alot of game tape from college and probably even some high school film.
They must have looked at his measurements at the combine.
They must have either brought him in for workouts or seen him in other workouts.
They must have sent scouts to at least a few of his games at colorado.
So assuming they did all that, then when they drafted him at #12 they must have thought that he could get minutes on a team with wings like bell, CJ, and howard right? Otherwise why would you draft a guy that high?
So to me it seems like after all the research you do when you draft a lottery pick, you should have the idea that he will get some minutes (without "earning" them) or you shouldn't draft the guy.

Golf on the Slopes
I came for the winter, but stayed for the summer." Ask ski-crazed transplants to the mountains why they live where they do, and this is a refrain you will hear repeated in virtually every high-altitude resort in the country, to the point of cliché. But like most clichés, there is a lot of truth behind it. This is particularly true in recent years, as the nature of ski towns has changed dramatically, to the point where people are simply coming for the summer to begin with—especially golfers.
All of the big ski resort operators such as Intrawest, Aspen Skiing Co., Vail Resorts and Boyne Resorts, along with many smaller peers, have turned their focus from selling lift tickets to selling real estate. To do this, they have had to offer more than just skiing. The new mountain town mantra is "lifestyle," and for more than a decade, once sleepy or even chichi ski towns have been busy repositioning themselves as year-round centers of sport and culture, building performing arts centers, sushi bars, bike trails, village centers, parks, ziplines and, most of all, golf courses.
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but in retrospect it seems surprising that so few people realized that the incredible natural beauty and setting of places like the Rockies would lend themselves to golf. Whatever the motive, golf fans now have many reasons to rejoice.
"Ski destinations are inherently fun places," notes David Baum, publisher and editor in chief of golf travel newsletter Golf Odyssey (and a member of the Cigar Aficionado golf ranking panel). "They have a carefree party atmosphere, excellent dining, trendy boutique shopping and wonderful outdoor activities. The air is fresh, the sunshine brilliant and the temperatures quite comfortable thanks to the absence of humidity. Ski destinations make outstanding summertime golf getaways. Many ski destinations are also very good dining towns, and the village nature of most ski retreats means you can eat, drink and be merry while leaving the car at your hotel."
Joe Passov, architecture and course rankings editor at Golf Magazine, is one convert. "Mountain golf is a direct conduit to memorable, often spectacular golf, because it's got the one ingredient that lends itself to instant drama: elevation change. For most golfers, there's no shot more thrilling than a downhill plunge, and mountain golf provides those in abundance. Watching your tee shot soar, with the ball seemingly suspended in air, is exciting, as are the long views that accompany the shot."
Baum agrees: "What's more exhilarating than standing at the top of the world and blasting a majestically arched drive through the thin air 100 yards farther than you'd ever dream of hitting one at your home club?"
Towns such as Aspen, Vail and Sun Valley are famous around the globe and synonymous with luxury vacation hospitality, but even in ski season, most of their appeal and most of the time spent by visitors is off the slopes. All of these ancillary benefits, from fine dining to five-star lodging, can still be enjoyed in golf season, though without the crowds—and usually at much more reasonable prices.
The one caveat of golf in ski country is that it is almost always, by definition, the architectural style known as "mountain golf," which is the hardest design aesthetic to execute well. The nation, especially the East, is full of ski-resort courses that are failed experiments, with severely off-kilter fairways that kick every tee shot to the same location no matter where you hit it.
Some of these designs are so ridiculous that they have given the entire genre of mountain golf a bad name. But in recent years, the sport's top designers have finally been drawn to the mountains, and coupled with technological innovations, high-altitude golf has produced some stunning gems, including several that have been widely ranked among the country's best.
"It's tough to reconcile the rugged, mountainous terrain ideal for skiing with the softer, gentler contouring appropriate for golf," says Golfweek architecture editor Bradley S. Klein, perhaps the industry's most respected design critic. "Yet despite the contrasts, both sports share some similarities when it comes to thoughtful design. The flow of the game, whether skiing or golf, has to be mindful of proper drainage. The surface must be carefully prepped and yet appear to be entirely natural. And there has to be distinctiveness in both the slopes to be negotiated and the long vistas that are provided along the way. When properly done, both provide fodder for endless discussion and fantasy afterwards about the best places to visit and the most memorable landforms."
"In the old days, budget constraints and the short growing season usually yielded short, narrow, poorly conditioned courses, but technology, imagination and sufficient funds have changed all that," notes Passov.
"In the golden age of the 1920s, you had to find a flattish parcel, so that your course could be walked. The advent of golf carts and earthmoving equipment allowed for the development of sites that traversed the mountainsides, but on a modest budget, you were left with lots of blind shots and awkward slopes. Only recently have architects been realizing the true potential of mountain golf, which at its best combines playability with the 'wow' factor. Robert Trent Jones Jr., Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf have been building wonderful mountain courses for many years, and more recently, Jim Engh, Tom Fazio and Greg Norman have mastered the craft. The best mountain tandem in the country is Colorado's Red Sky Ranch & Golf Club, near Vail, where Fazio and Norman have each carved out relentlessly challenging but remarkably beautiful tests."
Here is a closer look at six of the best areas in the country today for mountain golf.
Vail Valley, Colorado
Passov is not alone in his opinion about Red Sky Ranch & Golf Club (redskygolfclub.com). Virtually everyone who has played the two courses here agrees that Red Sky in Wolcott, Colorado, built by Vail Resorts, is the nation's finest example of ski-resort golf. Except that it is not quite at a ski resort.
Red Sky lies about 20 minutes from Beaver Creek and 30 from Vail. However, as a private club, most of whose members are homeowners—including PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem—public access is available only to guests of hotels owned by or affiliated with Vail Resorts, mostly in the upscale, sister ski towns of Vail and Beaver Creek.
The two layouts combine the essence of prime ski-town vacation living with the very best of Rocky Mountain golf. The Norman layout is generally considered the marquee course, though both have been rated in Golf Magazine's Top 100. It is certainly more dramatic, with severe elevation changes, stunning views and hazards of every description.
The Fazio course is somewhat gentler and easier to navigate, but still offers drop-dead views at every turn. The 36 holes are combined with a very comfortable clubhouse, a giant log structure in keeping with the Wild West theme, and quality practice facilities. Golf Odyssey's Baum believes that by virtue of its multiple top-rated courses, the club deserves mention in the same breath as Bandon Dunes, Pebble Beach and Destination Kohler, adding that, "at 7,500 feet, Red Sky Ranch offers the best one-two combination of mountain golf in the world."
Even closer to Vail and Beaver Creek is another multicourse facility of note, Cordillera (cordillera-vail.com), another large, private residential community, this one with 54 holes, plus a one-of-a-kind nine-hole layout designed by instructional guru Dave Pelz specifically to practice the short game, a fun test unlike any other par-3 course in the nation.
Unlike its nearby rival Red Sky, Cordillera offers on-site lodging, in the form of the luxury Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, and guests of this boutique hotel are the only "public" allowed access to the four courses. While the very high-altitude Summit Course, a Nicklaus Signature design, is considered the must-play, it is Tom Fazio's far lower Valley Course, playing along the valley floor, which steals the show. In between is Hale Irwin's precipitous Mountain Course, worth playing if only for the shocking elevation changes, the rare design that actually lives up to the overused description "roller-coaster ride." There are at least half a dozen other public courses in the Vail Valley, but Red Sky and Cordillera are easily the best.
Keystone, Colorado
It may not be the first destination ski resort off the lips of winter sports fans around the world, but Keystone (keystoneresort.com), the large Vail Resort mountain primarily used by Colorado locals, has one of the richest histories in ski-resort golf. Both of its courses are excellent, and Keystone Ranch, one of the first Robert Trent Jones Jr. courses built west of the Mississippi, was for many years the highest-altitude full-sized layout in the nation at a staggering 9,300 feet, a golf breakthrough when it opened in 1980.
If hitting the longest drives of your life is an enticement, few places on the planet are better suited for the job. After two decades, the Ranch remains one of Colorado's most popular courses, winding through a beautiful and rugged river valley with tall native grasses, sage and a very Old West feel. This is capped on the fourth hole with iconic and historic nineteenth-century ranch buildings behind the green, and surrounding mountain vistas from the valley floor. A round at the Ranch sums up rugged Rocky Mountain golf in a nutshell.
Surprisingly, it is here, not in Denver or Boulder or Aspen or Vail or Telluride, where you'll find the best restaurant in the state. Located in the clubhouse, Keystone Ranch is repeatedly ranked by top food critics as the No. 1 place to dine in all of Colorado.
The nearby River Course, a 2000 Hurdzan Fry design, is as good as the Ranch, and some would argue even better. It has several brilliant holes and is routed through environmentally sensitive wetlands, giving the tract a much more natural flavor, teeming with animals and showcasing high-altitude Colorado flora. The 36 holes at Keystone offer worlds of variety—and quality—just minutes apart.
Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia
How much is enough for Canada's flagship ski resort? Sister mountains Whistler and Blackcomb anchored the last Winter Olympic Games, they boast the greatest vertical drop of any ski hills in North America, and the resort is consistently rated No. 1 on the continent by almost every major ski and travel publication.
With dozens of shops, restaurants, hotels and bars, from Irish pubs to sushi to world-class French dining, its huge pedestrian village is easily the best on the continent. But when the snow melts, Whistler Blackcomb (whistlerblackcomb.com) is also the 800-pound gorilla of ski-resort golf with not one, not two, but three high-quality courses all within easy reach of the lifts, and two more a short drive away. All five are different enough to offer a wide variety of golf styles and scenery. For true ski resort-based golf, it is hard to argue against Whistler's prominence.
The Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed Chateau Whistler course, which plays right across the ski slopes, is gorgeous, combining elevation changes and scenic views, with exposed rock ledges, ponds and immaculate landscaping, as well as fields of wildflowers rivaling Augusta National.
The Whistler Golf Club, the first Arnold Palmer Signature design north of the border, sits at the base of the village's valley, with nine lakes, two creeks and mountain views on both sides. Lengthened and extensively renovated within the past decade, the mostly flat course provides the valley counterpoint to Jones's vertiginous routing.
The highlight of the resort, however, is Nicklaus North, right next to the main village. When opened in 1996, the layout received glowing reviews from numerous publications, including being named Best New Canadian Golf Course by Golf Digest, and quickly landed the Canadian Skins Game. In the Golden Bear's muscular style, the sprawling routing takes advantage of natural water features and thick stands of woods, and features beautiful and ample bunkering.
Big Sky, a visually stunning Bob Cupp design, lies just 25 minutes north of the ski resort, and is well worth the drive. It is uniquely tucked at the base of imposing, rocky, 8,300-foot-high Mount Currie and features 360-degree views. A parkland routing split by parallel fingers of lakes, Big Sky is like the best Florida golf transported to an alpine environment.
Three quarters of an hour south of the resort, en route to or from Vancouver, sits the waterfront Furry Creek course. Besides the views of Howe Sound and much different feel, the layout is most famous as the setting for some of the most memorable scenes from the golf comedy Happy Gilmore, helping to explain why Vancouver's burgeoning film industry has earned it the nickname Hollywood North.

To fail to remain focused on or motivated about some goal, objective, or matter at hand. You can't take your eye off the ball just before this merger deal is supposed to go through, not when there is so much at stake!

It's quite early to start talking about this, but then again it may never be too early to start thinking about this.
The questions are:
1. What do we do with the 2011 draft now the NBA is in a lockout? I guess the obvious answer is to proceed as normal. Change nothing really.
2. I think we need to start thinking about the 2012 draft and specifically the scenario in which the whole 2011/2012 season is gone without a single game played. It may never go that way, but I am of the opinion that we need to be make a decision if it were to go that way, before the coming season should officially start.
This prevents discussion and potential bickering (sp?) when this particular scenario were to become reality, so everyone knows on forehand what will happen next.
Please, feel free to give your opinion. I think it's important to get this straight. The sooner, the better.

Sesame – those tiny seeds probably most familiar as a topping for hamburger buns – is catching the attention of some northeast Arkansas farmers, thanks to a push by a Texas company that is looking to help make up for production shortfalls in the drought-plagued West.
Sesaco Corp. of Austin, which claims the only breeding program for sesame in the United States, is contracting with farmers in Arkansas and other states to plant the crop, and approximately 15,000 acres are under cultivation this year.
"Traditionally we've been west of Interstate 35 – western Oklahoma, western Texas, up to about Wichita, Kan. – and we thought that was diversity," said Danny Peeper, commercial production manager for Sesaco. "But when you have a drought that covers that entire area, that's not diversified enough."
Peeper said Sesaco has been breeding sesame for about 65 years and in 2000 made a breakthrough that helped address the crop's major drawback: Brittle seed pods.
"In the old days, if you had a bad storm you'd lose 80 percent of your crop in the first hour," he said. "Now the sesame can sit in the fields three months after it's ripe and you'll lose 5 percent."
The ability to harvest with a combine was one of the things that attracted David Hodges, a Jonesboro farmer who has about 475 acres of sesame under cultivation this year.
"Like rapeseed and some other crops, it had to be cut in swaths and then you come back and pick up the windrow and harvest later, after it dried," said Hodges. "They [Sesaco] came up with a variety that did not shatter. That kind of makes it more practical to grow it conventionally, harvesting with a combine with a normal-type header."
Sesame fits Arkansas farming style
As a crop, sesame has a lot to recommend it to the Natural State's farmers: It doesn't need a lot of water or fertilizer, it has no natural pests in Arkansas, and it can thrive in marginal soil. Plus there's a long planting season, from early May to mid-July.
Derek Boling of Paragould was one of the pioneers who planted 140 acres of sesame in 2012, the first year it was cultivated in Arkansas. This year he has 400 acres planted.
"I planted it on some ground typically we just plant wheat on; it's so sandy, we don't ever plant anything behind it," said Boling. "We made 800 pounds of sesame per acre. That kind of got me excited about it."
This year some of Boling's sesame is under an irrigation pivot and he is hoping to see between 1,200 and 1,500 pounds per acre from that portion. He says other growers are trying irrigation, as well, and the fact that sesame needs much less water than other traditional crops is also attractive.
"It requires about an inch of water a week after the third or fourth week," he said. "That's basically nothing compared to other crops we're watering here in the mid South."
Warm reception
Branon Thiesse, Craighead County extension agent for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, said the crop seems to be well received by local farmers and he's not heard of any significant problems.
"I saw one guy who had to replant some – the seed is really small and it looks like using a drill will be really hard to get the depth right," Thiesse said. "We have a little space out here behind our office and we've got a little sesame out there; I just broadcast it and it's growing. I wanted to see what the plant looks like."
Travis Faske, an extension plant pathologist at the Lonoke Ag Center, said the amount of acreage under cultivation for sesame this year took him by surprise. It's concentrated in the northeast corner of the state in counties like Lawrence, Clay, Greene, Randolph, and Craighead, he said, and there's some effort toward establishing a general distribution center or buying point so there's a single place to ship the product out to Sesaco. Meanwhile, his office is trying to answer questions as they come up.
"The problem is, there's a limited amount of information about it," he said. "What do I spray? I know we spray Dual, a common pre-emergent herbicide, but what do we spray later on? What disease issues might we have it we have a wet, early fall?"
Because of the late planting window, growers seem to be putting in sesame after all their other crops are in. That might mean some problems in October when it comes time to harvest, if they run into rainy weather, said Faske, but he acknowledged that everyone is still in a learning cycle.
"I think it's a lot of wait and see," he said.
In the coming years, sesame may gain acreage from other crops, including peanuts. Peanut acreage in Arkansas dropped from 18,000 acres last year to 11,000 this year, following a price drop from $750 to $550 per ton. Peanuts also take more effort than sesame.
As with other crops, prices will guide the number of acres planted. If sesame prices go up, acres will likely increase, Faske said. There are other factors too. Farmers need to figure out how much the crop will earn them after the expense of growing it and if there is a rainy fall and they wind up with zero yield, acres in the following years will drop.
Farmers who got in early with Sesaco were able to contract at around 40 cents per pound, though the price has since dropped to the mid-30s. Sesaco's Peeper said half their crop is exported to Japan – Mitsubishi is a majority owner of the company – and the other half is sold in the United States, mostly for confectionary uses like baking. He is optimistic that, with about 40,000 acres total under cultivation in the southeast this year, there could be 50,000 to 100,000 acres of sesame grown in the region by the next couple of years, much of it in Arkansas.
"Everything's off to a good start so far," he said. "We have contracted with an acreage contract to pay for what they produce, so the price doesn't change much from year to year. It's a pretty table market year to year. And in another month, the sesame will be four to five feet tall."

Choice starts in right field against Price; Rios at DH
ST. PETERSBURG -- Michael Choice was in the starting lineup for the first time this season on Saturday, playing right field. Manager Ron Washington wanted his right-handed bat in the lineup against left-hander David Price, and used the opportunity to use Alex Rios at designated hitter.
Choice is in his first full season in the Major Leagues, and Washington is often reluctant to use young players at designated hitter. But he may do so with Choice to get him in the lineup as much as possible.
"I don't think he will do a lot of DH-ing, but he will do some," Washington said.
Josh Wilson started at second base on Saturday as Washington continues to alternate him and Donnie Murphy. Washington is trying to keep both engaged and said at some point, he may start alternating them two games at a time rather than one.
Robinson Chirinos got his second start at catcher on Saturday. Washington said J.P. Arencibia will likely be behind the plate on Sunday with Yu Darvish on the mound.

Castles of the Middle Ages
The era between the fall
of the Roman Empire and the Reformation is unique. During
the Middle Ages, Western Europe was in a restless slumber
brought on by war, power struggles, illiteracy, and disease.
But at the same time, sparks
of genius were igniting that would bring new styles of art
and architecture and change the world. Through it all, faith
was the ever-present catalyst for artistic, intellectual,
social, and political developments.
Men were asked to join the
Crusades to fight and die for religious belief while magnificent
cathedrals were built as refuges of peace. The Middle Ages
saw castles, chivalry, and the birth of Romance.
We invite you to come explore the Medieval/Renaissance

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
This syndrome is named after Dr Asherman who first described the condition in the mid-20th century after he noted that some women who had surgical treatments at the time of pregnancy stopped having periods. The term is also used to describe a reduction or absence in menstruation due to scar tissue formation inside the uterus. Hence, Asherman syndrome is the formation of intrauterine adhesions, which typically result from scars that develop after uterine surgery. It is a rare condition. In most cases, it occurs in women who have had several dilation and curettage (D&C) procedures.
A severe pelvic infection unrelated to surgery may also lead to Asherman syndrome. Intrauterine adhesions can also form after infection with tuberculosis or schistosomiasis. These infections are rare in the Australia and uterine complications such as Asherman syndrome related to these infections are even less common.
The adhesions may cause a lack of menstrual periods, decreased length or amount of flow repeated miscarriages, and infertility. However, such symptoms could be related to several conditions. They are more likely to indicate Asherman syndrome if they occur suddenly after a D&C or other uterine surgery.
A pelvic exam is usually normal. Tests generally include hysteroscopy with treatment involving surgery to cut and remove the adhesions or scar tissue. This is usually be done with hysteroscopy, which uses small instruments and a camera placed into the uterus through the cervix. Complications of hysteroscopic surgery are uncommon and include bleeding, perforation of the uterus, and pelvic infection.
After scar tissue is removed, the uterine cavity must be kept open while it heals to prevent adhesions from returning. An IUD may be inserted inside the uterus for several weeks and estrogen is prescribed while the uterine lining heals. Antibiotic treatment may be necessary if there is an infection.
Asherman syndrome can be cured in most women with surgery, although sometimes more than one procedure will be necessary.
Women who are infertile because of Asherman syndrome may have a successful pregnancy after treatment. Successful pregnancy depends on the severity of Asherman syndrome and the difficulty of the treatment, as well as other factors that affect fertility and pregnancy.
In some cases, treatment of Asherman syndrome will not cure infertility.

From the Left Hand Corner: Glimmer of hope from the pope
There seems to be much for we non-Catholics to like about the new Pope Francis. We don't grant much earthly deity status to our pastors, synod bishops or denomination leaders. It seems most other sects or religious groups don't, either.
In the America of past decades, the leader of the Roman papal hierarchy has had a disproportionate impact and influence upon our total citizenry. Pronouncements from the pope are held in esteem and disseminated as strong edicts that sometimes become controlling laws, not just for Catholics, but all Americans.
What emanates from the mouths of popes often becomes law or regulation of our land.
More often than not, that is good. And whatever is the result, it usually nudges our society in the right direction.
However, there are times where it also borders on, or treads on, our jealously portrayed and contended separation of church and state. Therefore, I believe that a long-term effect of what Pope Francis is doing early in his tenure is a hopeful indication of better things to come.
The ways in which he speaks, both vocally and in his actions, and his very modest, seemingly sincere style of living appear to be the best example of what religious, Christ-like service and leadership should be.
I am optimistic that his pronouncements will help steer all of us toward more tolerance, and more sympathy for plights of those afflicted, and more empathy for the myriad problems and decisions we collectively face.
I start out hopeful and believe that his public statements will have long-term effects of less violence, more tolerance and more acceptance of those born, or who are different, from the nebulous "us."
I have long felt that the grave consequences and anguish over all the complex quandaries involving abortion are not conducive to political resolution. Most strongly advanced views and pronouncements on abortion matters seem to follow very closely the religious teachings of the person's youth or the actual personal experience of the person directly faced with the decision, and those facing it with her.
That doesn't seem to prevent any and all from speaking — yes, shouting, long and loud — but it seems simply to observe that is the way most of us come to our viewpoints on the subject.
I digress for a moment to express the observation that personal opinions are not made nor changed in the political arena. Hopefully Pope Francis' pronouncement to ease off a bit on the degree and tone of repetitive teaching of the church positions will encourage more civil discussion and consideration of the very difficult subject matter that we old males need never face directly, but affects all of us indirectly.
A hardline approach may well prevail, at least in the short term. It may prevail if there are enough of that same view; it may prevail if expressed sufficiently vociferously; it may prevail if enough money is available to and expended by the proponents.
But hardline approaches also often backfire. Note the early year Netanyahu. A hardline approach may create its own extreme or dug-in line of resistance. It may incite and encourage a new and expanded level or opposition or resistance.
It most certainly will discourage civil discussion and consideration for compromise, which, in most instances, is required to achieve a resolution.
Just as Pope Francis recognized and stated that his beloved church might tone down what might be viewed as overemphasis on a few doctrine subjective matters, we are overdue in both our inter-party politics and intra-party politics. We proclaim so much and we accomplish so little when we scream at each other from afar, rather than just talking, at least somewhat politely, in expressing our disagreements.
A longer column would include somewhat parallel discussion of other subjects mentioned by Pope Francis, such as homosexuality, gay marriage, contraception and other life issues, but it's time to go duck hunting in North Dakota (for the 63rd year).
For now, this opinionated columnist is of the opinion that you Catholics have selected, or have had selected for you, a pretty good pope.

I'm at the typical 370-380 plateau with drives squeaking out to about 420-430 once in a while.
Overstable drivers
(2) 172 Z Predator - used and new - headwind driver, spike hyzers, skip shots, knife hyzers, big flex drives.
Distance Drivers
(1) 167 Star Wraith - distance hyzers over 350.
(2) 172 E Assassin - used and new - main D driver, standing drives, rollers, turnovers over 350.
(1) 175 JK Pro Valkyrie - sky rollers, drives that require less L-R movement than the Assassin
Control Drivers
(3) 174 DX Teebird - various stages of wear to cover stable control driver spots up to 350-360.
(1) 175 Z Buzz (newer) - stable midrange up to 300.
(2) 175 X Comet - used and new - straight/turnover drives, standing drives, touch upshots up to 300.
(2) 175 M Wizard - used and new - stable drives, upshots up to 250-270
(2) 172 M Magic - newer - touch upshots, straight/turnover drives up to 250-270.
(2) 172 OG Magic - putters
So far I'm happy with my setup and it's enough to get me through the day on most courses, however I am often finding myself in need of an overstable midrange or putter for those flex shots in the woods where I need to get around obstacles and still have a nice fade at the end to flex back. I have a few Pigs, but find them to be too overstable for that slot. I may give the Roc another chance. Any other suggestions? This would be used mostly in the 200-250ft range so a putter would be fine. I need something more overstable than a new Wizard.
edit - the only reason I'm dismissing the Roc for that slot is because I feel like I'm already comfortable with the Buzzz and Comet combo. Sure, I can cover all those slots with different Rocs, but it takes me too long to break in a Roc into that sweet spot, and it is always hard to replace when lost. I used to throw Rocs, but after losing a few of my beat Rocs one summer I switched to Comets and Buzzzes - if I lose those, I don't worry about it because I can just buy a new one and have the flight I'm looking for.

This stool has ebony inlay and is made around 1910.
The designer could be Jac. van den Bosch. I'd like that :-), but I don't know. He is probably the most famous Dutch furniture designer in the period around 1900 in this particular style, together with Berlage and Sluyterman (Onder den Sint Maarten).
It's adjustable in height and sadly the original cover is missing.

To Hell and Back
How to Rebuild a Control Room in Five Days. Lessons in Disaster Recovery and Emergency Response
By Jon DiPietro
Between February 7 and March 14, 2009, more than 400 bush fires across the state of Victoria, Australia, scorched over a million acres of land, killing 173 and injuring 414. Engineers at Goulburn Valley Water (GVW), provider of urban water and wastewater services to 54 towns and cities on the outskirts of Melbourne, watched as their telemetry system from the Kilmore Dissolved Air Filtration plant reported an ambient control room temperature of 142 °F before going silent on the afternoon of Saturday, February 7. A site visit on the following day revealed that while the treatment plant survived the fire, its control room was completely incinerated, destroying the electrical switchgear, plant HMI, laboratory, instrumentation and chemical dosing systems. With only five days worth of water stored, an emergency response plan to rebuild the control room and recommission the plant went into action.
What followed over the course of the next five days is a case study in how proper backup and change management procedures, strong vendor relationships and dedicated, cross-trained employees can pull off near-miracles. Armed with a full set of accurate as-built drawings, up-to-date PLC programs and HMI computer backups, GVW was able to assemble a portable control room in the parking lot of its operations center, deliver it to the site, connect thousands of control points, commission the plant and resume delivery of 10ML per day of water to the towns of Kilmore, Wandong and Heathcote Junction in five days.
"If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."
- Carl Sagan
In the months and, indeed, years leading up to the fire in Kilmore, GVW had built a foundation that would give it this chance at success. There were three key areas of preparation – documentation, human resources, and relationships – and lacking any one of them would have spelled failure.
Documentation. One of the most obvious and crucial requirements is documentation, and GVW was very well prepared in this respect. Employing strict change management controls, the IT department had current backups of the PLC programs and HMI systems running at the plant during the time of the fire. Just as important, it had accurate "as built" drawings of the plant stored off site.
However, one aspect in which it was not as well prepared was the settings on components such as variable-speed drives, loop controllers and flow valves. As the saying goes, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, and GVW had its fair share of luck. In one case, the settings for a critical flow meter had not been stored, but after extricating it from the debris and powering it up, engineers breathed a tremendous sigh of relief to discover that it was still in working condition, and they were able to record all the settings.
Human Resources. During an emergency response, documents, plans and procedures will only get you so far. Humans must do the work. GVW had a good internal team with a wide range of skills, including an electrician and an instrumentation technician with over 30 years of combined experience at the company. The IT department had made the decision years ago to "embed" some of its personnel with computer and networking experience in the operations group. The result was a diverse team with an important balance of skill and experience that proved crucial in executing the response plan.
As GVW's IT Manager Noel Squires describes, "A number of years back, we had a couple of near-misses with losing ladder logic, which was at a time when looking after PLCs and process controls was really considered operations and had nothing to do with IT. But we pretty quickly realized that it's got a lot to do with IT, and that disciplines we use in IT routinely, such as like change management and backups, applied equally to process control. So we formed the Operations IT group, and that was a little different in that we were taking these former operations people and putting them into the IT section."
Relationships. It's a cliché to say that teamwork is critical in these situations, but ideas become clichés for a reason; they are usually true. Having said that, there were three specific relationships that had to work in order for this emergency response to work as well as it did. The first was the horizontal relationship between disciplines. The team of workers with electrical, SCADA, PLC, construction and IT skills already knew and worked with one another for some time. The second was the vertical relationship between the response team and management. While the response team was busy planning and executing, management was fetching coffee, arranging meals, filling out paperwork, providing accommodation and otherwise providing support and blocking distractions as much as possible. Finally, the external relationships with vendors were equally vital. The control room fire occurred on a Saturday night, which necessitated a Sunday response. Many of the vendors abandoned family barbeques in order to open warehouses and drive to Melbourne so that parts would be at their doorstep first thing Monday morning. In some instances, parts were delivered without purchase orders under a "gentleman's agreement" to simply settle up accounts later. This can only be accomplished through solid customer-vendor relationships.

How to Answer "Bad" Interview Questions With "Good" Answers
By Carole Martin,
Interview Coach
If you've prepared for the
you more than likely spent all of your time preparing to answer "positive questions" – demonstrating how good you are and what you can offer this position. You are not prepared to talk about your failures or times when you were challenged by difficult situations. So what do you do when you encounter a "curve ball?"
You deal with it in a positive manner.
Here is an example of a question that could be asked by an interviewer who is seeking negative information and how to deal with it.
– "Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with someone at work and how you resolved it."
– "I usually get along very well with everyone."
Wrong Answer
– The most important reason that this is a "poor answer" is that it doesn't answer the question: "Tell me about a time when…." The interviewer is seeking an example of a time when you had a dealt with a difficult situation or person and how you handled yourself. (communication/relating to others)
Here is a good example of how to answer the question in a more confident and informative manner:
There was an incident that happened with a person who was not pulling his weight on the team and it was affecting morale. All the team members were getting disgruntled but nobody was doing anything about it. His name was "Todd" and he was an older worker who had been with the company for many years.
I took it upon myself to have a talk with Todd when the opportunity presented itself. It didn't start out smoothly – he was defensive at first and resented my speaking to him about his work behavior. He started telling me I should mind my own business. I stayed very calm and spoke in a moderate voice. I was careful to let him know that I wasn't judging him but rather was concerned about the team and the ability for everyone to get along. He began to calm down and started telling me about the challenges he was facing.
He confided in me that he had some family problems at home that were affecting his energy level and patience. I listened attentively while he told me about his problems.
Once he became aware that his behavior was affecting other's work he made a special effort to be more open and receptive. The team spirit improved greatly after that – as well as the productivity.
My boss made a point to tell me how much she appreciated my intervention before she had to step in to take disciplinary action. Todd also thanked me for speaking to him.
This answer deals with the question in a positive, assertive manner. Taking the initiative is a good trait to demonstrate with your stories – "I took it upon myself…."
You can see that there is a good deal of positive information that can be emphasized in an answer – even if it is an example of a time when things were negative. You have shown the interviewer how you resolve an issue with another person.
Turning negatives into positives is an important skill to learn. When you are asked a "bad" or negative question, take a minute to turn the answer around refocusing the answer to include some positive qualities.
