|Crowdfunding Redefined: Crowdfunding is a relatively new industry that is built on an age-old concept: People helping people. Historically, this has meant people helping others within their community, but times have changed. Now people can reach across town and even across continents to help people they have never even met. This, of course, can be a good thing, but there are people who are only too happy to take advantage of the kindness of strangers and therein lies the crowdfunding industry's greatest challenge: How do you know who to trust First Funder has answered this question by creating the world's first partner-based crowdfunding platform. What is Partner-Based Crowdfunding First Funder partners with entrepreneurship programs and other community-based organizations to tap into the power of their communities. Each partner is given a branded portal on the First Funder website through which they can fund themselves and their initiatives. There are no one-off campaigns on First Funder. Each and every one is sponsored by a trusted community organization. First and foremost, each of our partners is tapping directly into the funding power of their own communities. However, First Funder links all of the communities together so that a member of one trusted community can browse any other trusted community to find and fund the initiatives that matter most to them. We think we have a great approach and we're not alone Since launching, First Funder has been featured in dozens of publications, including: Wall Street Journal (September 14, 2012) Barron's (September 8, 2012) Dow Jones VentureWire (September 13, 2012) Boulder County Business Report (September 28, 2012)

The Soapstone Mountain Trail Races are popular, long-standing races in North Central Connecticut. 2017 marks the 34th year for the Soapstone events. There are two races on event day: a 22k (approx. 13.5 miles) and a 6k "Sampler" which has been renamed this year to the Jerry Stage 6k. This is in honor of the many years of love, sweat and tears that Jerry Stage put into these races. May he rest in peace. Both races run through the extremely beautiful and scenic area around Soapstone Mountain, Shenipsit Forest State Park. Participants in the 22k race climb to the peak of Soapstone Mountain. The races are put on every year by the Shenipsit Striders, a 42 year old trail running club in north-central Connecticut.The 22k and then 6k are both mass start. In past years the Jerry Stage 6k "Sampler" was a handicap start based on age and gender. Due to confusion about place and time as well as more and more people wanting to run with another person we have voted to remove the handicap start and replace it with a mass start. For the 22k distinctive awards go to the top male and female finisher as well as the top finishers in each age catagory; Under 40, 40 - 49, 50 - 59 and 60+. Awards go to the top overall male and female for the 6k Sampler as well as first place in 0-12, 13-18, 19-29, 30-29, 30-49, 50-59 and 60+. Everyone gets the satisfaction of completing the course. Walkers are welcome in the Sampler. There are cutoff times in the 22K for the safety of all. The cut off is 2 hours at Aid Station 2 (~7 miles) and 3 hours at Aid Station 3(~11.5 miles). Please be sure to come fit and ready to run.22k CourseThe first mile of the 22k travels along a slightly downhill dirt road before turning sharply onto a more 'traditional' hiking trail. From there it starts a slow accent towards Soapstone Mountain. After crossing the first road, the trail makes another sharp right where participants are challenged with the first difficult climb - a very steep 1/2 mile trail named "Killer Hill". Once at the top of the hill, runners travel by the Soapstone Mountain observation tower and then run down a steep descent. Following the downhill, the trail becomes a series of switchbacks and rollers through the woods - though it's challenging, the rollers aren't steep enough to dramatically alter one's overall pace. There are brook crossings and a muddy stream descent. There are lots of rocks and roots to twist ankles on. Watch your footing! Towards the latter half of the race, the course has one more significant climb up a single track, followed by a steep descent on a dirt trail continuing on dirt road and finishing on single track to end the race in a grassy field surrounded by family and friends. The entire course is marked with painted white dots on rocks and trees. In areas where the trail splits or is tricky there will be additional flagging.Jerry Stage 6k "SAMPLER" CourseThis race starts on the same dirt road as the 22k but turns right onto single track within a 1/2 mile and then meanders through thick forest before crossing the same dirt road into a sand pit, back onto single track trail, then left onto more dirt road, a right hand turn into the woods and finishing on grassy field. The course is well marked wirh flagging and signs.New this year: Aid station will provide Tailwind Hydration.
The race venue is very family friendly. There are horses to view, trails to hike and open fields to run in. Following the race is a fabulous vegetarian meal for all runners and volunteers (family and friends can eat for a donation of $5 per person). Bring a lawn chair and stay the day. We encourage you to also bring your own bowl, spoon and cup to cut down on waster and help the environment. .The 22k start is at 9am. The Jerry Stage 6k starts at 9:10am. A FREE kids race begins at 12 noon. There is race day entry with an increase in price to $30 for the 22k and $15 for the 6k. Day-of registration and bib pickup begins at 7:45am.
It is best to hang out at the finish line where Sampler runners will be crossing the line in the first hour and the 22k runners will appear around 11am. It you want to see the 22k competitors running, the best place to watch is at Gulf Road parking lot or on top of Soapstone Mountain at the fire tower. You can drive or hike to the top of Soapstone. Runners cross over the top on the way out and near to top on the way back. If you would like to see your runner out on the course, volunteering at an aid station, is a great way to do it. Contact Debbie (RD) if you would like to volunteer or you have a friend that would. Volunteers get a free meal.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In 2011, a large number of Wall Street analysts made fools of themselves. We're not just talking at the standard level we have come to expect.I hate to pick on one person, but, in 2011, she became emblematic of the horrid analyst coverage of Netflix ( NFLX). Ingrid Chung, Goldman Sachs, December 1, 2011, as depicted in an article I wrote for Seeking Alpha:
For example, has anybody heard from Ingrid Chung at Goldman Sachs . . . After Netflix's disastrous Q2 and weak Q3 guidance in July, Chung waxed bullishly, not only reiterating a buy rating and her $330 price target, but raising EPS estimates from 2011 through 2013.
Before you read this next sentence, call some family, friends or co-workers over to your computer screen, because there's nothing like sharing a laugh with others around the holidays. For 2012, Chung predicted Netflix would post EPS of $7.69.For the record, Netflix recorded 2012 EPS of $0.29. Just this past week, Andy Hargreaves, an analyst at Pacific Crest upped his NFLX price target to $225 and raised 2015 and 2021 subscriber and earnings estimates. While I don't necessarily disagree with the price target -- remember, I have been bullish the stock since last summer -- or the notion that Netflix employs a smarter content acquisition strategy than it used to, I can't get with the contention that Netflix's investment in what Hargreaves calls "high-quality original content" will do anything but bankrupt the company.
How soon we forget Netflix's precarious financial situation. In fact, some of these analysts have never even acknowledged it. Not even after 2011 and 2012's implosions. It hasn't gotten any better. Netflix will still require some sort of bailout -- again -- if it expects to continue operations at anything close to the current pace. See if you notice a pattern in this series of numbers: $194,499, $150,419, $175,207, $159,199, $508,053, $395,992, $402,251, $370,298, $290,291. Those numbers represent, in chronological order (and in thousands), Netflix's cash and cash equivalents over the last nine quarters, ranging from the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2010, to the most recent reported quarter ending Dec. 31, 2012 (see Netflix's Q4 2012 financial statement at the company's investor relations Web site). That pop -- from $159,199 to $508,053 -- came when Netflix had to hit the market for extra cash at the end of 2011 as things really began to unravel. At the time, Reed Hastings claims Netflix really didn't need to raise cash; it just did so to give itself a cushion.
In the company's most recent letter to shareholders ( January 2013), Hastings stated that Netflix would merely take "advantage of the current low interest rate environment to refinance our $200 million in outstanding notes and raise additional cash through new debt financing."

SAN FRANCISCO (TheStreet) -- Apple's unveiling of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on Tuesday showed the Cupertino, Calif.-based technology giant can still innovate and throw a few surprises at us. Even though Apple generates the majority of its revenue from the iPhone now, a software announcement that went under the radar could be Apple's biggest threat to Google's dominance in search.
As part of iOS 7, Apple's Siri can now search Twitter, Wikipedia and your photos when looking for answers to questions. Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, made the announcement during the iPhone unveiling.
Google no longer has a deal with Twitter, having once indexed tweets into its real-time search engine. That deal ended a couple of years ago, as the relationship between the two companies has frayed. Google no longer offers real-time search, with the google.com/realtime link redirecting to Google's homepage.
Apple and Twitter, in contrast, have a solid working relationship, with Twitter having been integrated into iOS 5 in 2011.

Confession, up front: this pizza is labour intensive, but worth it. Creamed spinach—the kind you would order on the side of your steak at Peter Luger—along with pools of fresh mozzarella form the base of this knock-out pie, lending it a subtle, sublimely spinachy flavor. And it doesn't stop there. At Nonna's LES, they top the spinach slice with a ricotta-stuffed roasted artichokes, draped with roasted red peppers. Word to the wise: you're going to need a fork for this cheesy behemoth.
What You'll Need (for one pizza)
- 1 dough portion (See Kenji's Easy No-Roll, No-Stretch Sicilian-Style Square Pizza Dough Recipe to learn how to make dough à la nonna)
- Fresh mozzarella, chopped or ripped into small pieces
- Grated mozzarella
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Ricotta
- Heavy cream
- Butter
- Garlic, minced
- Onion, minced
- Spinach
- Long-stemmed artichokes, marinated in oil and herbs
- Seasoned breadcrumbs*
- Roasted red pepper, marinated in oil and basil, cut into strips
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
*At Nonna's LES, they season their housemade breadcrumbs with minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and a secret blend of herbs. When it comes to seasoning your breadcrumbs, Nonna's manager Steven Yadlosky says, "Get creative."

Family of teen shot by friend: 'Our hearts are broken'
PUYALLUP, Wash. -- The family of a 13-year-old boy killed by his friend in what appeared to be an accidental shooting Thursday night in Puyallup has released a statement memorializing the victim and calling on politicians to do something about gun violence in the United States.
According to the Puyallup Police Department, the deceased teen -- identified as Eddie Holmes of Puyallup -- was at a friend's house with four other boys when the friend took an unsecured shotgun out of the master bedroom to show them.
The boy handed the gun to another friend, and that's when Holmes was shot in the chest, according to police. One of the boys attempted to give medical aid to Holmes while another boy called 911.
Holmes was taken to Tacoma General Hospital, where he died from his wounds.
The shooting shocked the community.
"How that gun comes out - I don't know," said neighbor Clint Armatis. "But for them to actually grab it and pull the trigger and point it - that blows me away at that age."
Armatis said he is now using the unintentional shooting to educate his own grandchildren about gun safety.
"I told them, again, that you never touch a gun, you never touch a gun and never point one even if it's a toy gun you shouldn't be pointing it," he said.
On Friday, Holmes' family released the following statement:
"Our hearts are broken at the tragic loss of our dear Eddie Zee. Life is a gift from God, and we thank Him for each day he blessed us with Eddie Zee.
Eddie was a wonderful son -- very loving and caring. He enjoyed being with his big brother Jose, his dog Buddy, and playing video games.
Our prayers are with the families that are also involved. Legislators need to pass a law against gun violence in America. Our prayers are also with all families that have lost a loved one by gun violence.
We would like to thank the Puyallup Police Department for their support and everyone who have prayed and/or called to lift us up."
The 13-year-old shooter was arrested and booked into Pierce County Juvenile Detention for investigation of manslaughter.
The judge ordered the boy held until Tuesday so prosecutors can straighten out the details.
"It's a very very, sad and difficult case. But it's one - again, in all fairness - you have to look at the conduct and see whether or not it justifies the filing of charges," Deputy prosecuting attorney Kevin Benton said.
Chris Ohnemus, co-owner of Pinto's Gun Shop in Renton, said education and common sense are keys to avoiding similar tragedies. He's one of 15 retailers in the Seattle area working with public health officials on a "Lok-It-Up" campaign to educate people about safe storage of guns.
"Guns should not be a mystery. If they're in the house they should understand them. They should know how they function and they should know their capabilities," said Ohnemus.
Public health officials estimate more than 30,000 homes in King County are storing firearms that are loaded and unlocked. While those numbers may seem alarming, officials say the majority of gun owners do practice safe storage.
"The conscientious gun owners that are enthusiasts, that utilize their guns on a regular basis, are typically far more aware of safety issues," said Ohnemus.
As part of King County's "Lok-It-Up" program anyone who buys a storage device or lock box will get 10-15 percent off their purchase at the participating stores. The promotion lasts through December.

Silsden feel they still have work to do to safeguard their place in the North West Counties League Premier Division but Tuesday's performance at Runcorn Linnets proves they have not lost any of their spirit.
The Cobbydalers are sixth from bottom and just seven points above the trapdoor but they have games in hand on four of the clubs below them.
They face a tough trip to fourth-placed Glossop North End on Saturday but they gave a good account of themselves in their 1-0 loss in midweek.
Runcorn returned to the top of the table with the three points, and Cobbydalers' spokesman Jim Rosser said: "We played really well against a very good side, even though it ended in a narrow defeat. The young lads in the team are certainly putting the effort in."

Three alternative approaches to better loop control
What's wrong with those ramps? Well, as the performance of control loops declines over time, there are better alternatives to properly handle potential problems. Check out what to avoid when tuning your ramps.
IN TODAY'S controllers, ramping block devices are widespread in most DCSes and PLCs as a built in feature. This consists of either ramping the setpoint from one operating point to another production rate, or limiting the rate of change of the controller output through a ramp. Most of the time, when people intend to use a ramp device, they attempt to:
- Avoid overshooting during a setpoint change
- Respect equipment constraints such as electrical (over-current), thermal or mechanical stress or
- Make the transition from one operating point to another smoother.
For any of these three approaches, there is a better alternative to properly handle those potential problems.
Avoiding Overshooting During a Setpoint Change
Wherever the ramp is located – either at the controller output or at the setpoint – there will certainly be an overshoot for a non-self-regulating process and a high potential of overshoot for a self-regulating process (higher potential for Lag dominant process model) according to the tuning's aggressiveness (See Figure 1 below). This is what we see by looking at G2(s), G3(s) and G5(s): all of them are overshot. On the other hand, G1(s), which was step changed through a Lead/Lag filter, not only is overshot, but it reached the new setpoint faster with exactly the same tuning. Consequently, the ramp will postpone the setpoint response and make it overshot. Thus, the first statement that leads people to use ramp, happens to be unjustified for both self-regulating and non-self-regulating process types.
Performances based on a simulation for a self-regulating and non-self-regulating process model. A ramped SP versus a step changed SP going through a Lead/Lag filter has been applied.
WHAT IS THIS Lead/Lag filter? This function is often available as a built-in device in most DCSes and PLCs on the market. It consists of a ratio between 0 and 1 of two time constants. One of them is the numerator and acts as the leader. The leader corresponds to the instantaneous portion of the step change applied to the controller. For instance, if the ratio is 0.7 then 70% of the step is instant or abrupt change and the other 30% is going through a first order filter, which is also called Lag.
The denominator is the lag, which is actually the time constant of a first order filter. Generally, this filter time constant will match the tuning value of the integral action in the controller. This type of mechanism will give you the best of the two worlds: no overshoot during setpoint change and fast load rejection.
Because of this Lead/Lag filter, tuning can be optimized for load disturbances without having any overshoot at all during a setpoint change. Furthermore, the load rejection will remain the fastest it can get during a load disturbance. Without a Lead/Lag filter, most people's natural tendency is to relax the tuning to avoid overshooting too much on a set point change, or to use a ramp and get an overshoot of different magnitude depending on the tuning's aggressiveness.
When using a Lead/Lag filter, the excitation signal sent to the PID controller has a sharp break at the beginning, then the rest of the pattern is very smooth. In fact, it has the same shape as a first order response. When using the ramp pattern, there are two abrupt changes: there is one at the beginning and a second one at the end when it reaches the new setpoint. The idea of a Lead/Lag function is to make a steep change at the beginning, when it is far away from the final value, then reduce the speed for the final approach. A two-degree of freedom PID controller (Integral only on SP change) will produce similar results.
The settling time can be improved by a factor of two without overshoot when using a Lead/Lag filter. Settling time is defined as the time that has passed for both the Process Value and Controller Output to reach steady state and remain within the range of a normal process noise.
The settling time is cut by a factor of two when using a Lead/Lag filter, as opposed to using a ramp applied on the set point or using a ramp limiter applied at the controller output where this latter acts as a slew rate limiter.
In addition to lengthening the settling time by 100%, the ramp caused (in this example) an overshoot of 10%. If the aggressiveness of the tuning and the slope of the ramp are reduced to lessen the overshoot as much as possible to the minimum, then the settling time could be increased by a factor as high as four, which is a considerable amount. Consequently, with a ramp, the reduction of the overshoot during a set point change implies a significant increase of the settling time. On the opposite, the Lead/Lag filter does not create overshoot for both types of process, that is to say self-regulating and non-self-regulating.
Respecting Equipment Constraints
For the second solution, which is intended to protect the equipment from being stressed, over-used or broken, there is a more appropriate approach to solve this issue than using a ramp limiter at the PID output. For instance, if the cause of the stress is brought about by a high heat flow rate phenomenon, then another controller could be acting as an override or constraint controller on the temperature differential between the two surfaces or two points. A constraint controller will override the valve through a low-select signal block. Since the stress from the heat is proportional to the heat flow, which is a consequence of the temperature differential between the two points, this constraint controller will take over by just the appropriate amount of output correction and avoid causing stress.

We are in Charlottesville VA
It's absolutely baffling- and easier to do it than to explain it! You have a tube with four pom poms attached- on one end of the tube is a blue one and a green one, on the other end is a red one and a yellow one. The blue and green pom-poms are attached by a long string at one end. The red and yellow pom poms are attached by a short string at the other end.
Now, the magical fun starts! Show that the blue pom-pom is attached to the green pom-pom. The red pom-pom is attached to the yellow pom-pom. Pull the blue pom-pom and the green pom-pom goes up- they are attached by the long string, remember? Pull the red pom-pom and the yellow pom-pom goes up- they are attached, remember? But now pull the blue pom pom and the yellow pom pom goes up! Pull the red pom-pom and the green pom-pom goes up.
WOW! It looks like every pom-pom is attached to every other pom-pom! And there's always a long string at one end and a short string at the other end. But wait! Pull the yellow pom pom again- now it's connected to the green pom pom by a LONG string too!
But how does it work? The strings must run through the middle of the tube, your audience will yell. So show them! Separate the tube into two parts- there is NO CONNECTING STRING! Gets them every time!
History and Trivia: This trick was a favorite of legendary stage magician Doug Henning, and was featured on one of his television specials. British comedy magician Ali Bongo also made the Pom Pom Pole part of his famous comedy magic act.

Fantastic YA listening. Tan's love for her characters and her love of Rock and Roll really shines through.
This volume concludes Daron's story arc finding success in his music, and finding himself, coming out of the closet. It's a rewarding end for a character we've been touring with so long.
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"Same review for all 3"
I am sure these stories are pretty good...but I got bored with first story... not enough smexing for me... and I like smexing in my stories... not enough action either. I will go back one day and listen later...but right now...pretty bored...
Narration was just ok...nothing to rave about

text: Chances are slim to none that I'll ever actually appear in any film even considered for the annual Fly Fishing Film Tour. But last September while in Alaska I was on site for filming that is appearing in the 2013 Tour. I was with four friends at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge after attending the Outdoor Writers Association of America annual conference. We met the Fly Out film crew - Cory, Katie and Sarah - at the waterport in Anchorage. They gave us a quick rundown of what they were up to and we promised to stay out of their way. Most of us kept our promise, but my buddy Mark kept showing off for the cameras. I was stoked to see that "Magnetic North" is included in the Fly Fishing Film Tour this year and was pleased to hear that a reduced version of the overall video will be shown in Salt Lake on Feburary 22 when it shows at the Depot. The portion of "Magnetic North" included in the tour is what Cory, Katie and Sarah filmed at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge."Magnetic North" focuses on the voices of guides, anglers and others drawn to Alaska for its wildness and end up staying to work and live. At Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, the focus of the shooting was on co-owner/operator Mike Overcast and lodge manager Bret Gilleland.Mike just happened to take me on the most epic Alaska adventure I could have imagined, and always dreamed of, concidentally on my birthday. Bret was a gracious host and every bit the character she appears to be in the "Magnetic North" segment.My buddies and I all got a kick out of Bret when she joined us for some fly fishing for Dolly varden on a tributary to Judd Lake where the lodge is located moments after she had been riding a hydrofoil board for the cameras. Bret stood in the water casting a rod while wearing a dry suit, but nothing on her feet. Now the weather was warm and all, but we all found it interesting that a lady from Georgia could stand in a creek in Alaska for as long as she did. If you look very carefully during a scene of the Tordrillo episode to be shown in Salt Lake you will catch the top of my head. The crew was filming from across the river as a helicopter took off from the lodge. I was laying in the deep grass of the bank closer to the helipad filming for my own purposes. And that is likely all that will ever be shown of me in the Fly Fishing Film Tour. Thanks Cory and crew for 15 seconds of f3t fame. I couldn't agree more with the title of the project. I too feel a magnetic pull from Alaska and it has just about everything to do with my experience at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge.The video is the first of five episodes that will be posted on the web. The Tordrillo episode will be posted last.Here's the Utah schedule of Fly Fishing Film Tour showings:Salt Lake City, Feb. 22 - Tickets available at Western Rivers Flyfisher and Fishwest.

JUDGES for this year's Winchester Business Excellence Awards met to shortlist entries from across the district.
Chairman Kit Finney and the panel meticulously trawled through each and every applicant for the awards, founded by the Hampshire Chronicle, Winchester Business Improvement District (BID), and the Hampshire Chamber of Commerce.
Now in its twelfth year, the competition aims to recognise the achievements of local businesses.
Entrants were marked in accordance with each category's criteria with many noted for their entrepreneurial and innovative manner.
Some companies were congratulated for their willingness to take risks and judges commented on the diversity of this year's contestants.
Mr Finney said: "Having gone through all the applicants in detail, I am amazed at just how many inspiring and entrepreneurial companies Hampshire has. It is clear by the companies that have entered that they have drive and passion for what they manufacture or the service they provide. It truly is incredible.
"This year it is very difficult even in the first stage of eliminations to reduce the numbers down to the shortlisted four that is required. This is simply because the standards are so high. The judges have had a difficult job."
The first shortlisted entries will be announced next week.

How to use this trendy shade in paint & textiles.
Photo Gallery: Vintage Style
Concrete columns were left unfinished to preserve this loft's industrial flavour.
In the formal living room of Toronto developer Peter Freed, carved grey Philippe Starck sofas and a quartet of stools add whimsy and theatre to an otherwise pared-down space.
A large cross-based table, Parsons chairs and an upholstered bench create a comfortable, relaxed tone in this design.
DIY expert and HGTV host Peter Fallico chose Very Pale Grey (6198-21) paint by Sico for this sleek and calm dining area. An existing bay window displays white and smoked-grey glass vases. Fallico also selected new engineered teak flooring, which runs through the main floor, for its not-too-dark tone and handsome grain.
See more photos of Fallico's house makeover in our photo gallery. Also, enjoy shots of his backyard.
A plush, tufted headboard, classic grey upholstered bench and chair and oversized pendant up the glamour in this room.
To boost the cozy factor, interior decorator Jennifer Ferreira added heaps of pillows, a stack of books for lazy Sundays and blackout curtains for a good night's sleep.
Decorating ideas for maximizing a compact area
In this small living room, a pendant light hung at reading height replaces a floor lamp to save precious space, while floating shelves fill in for a side table. Pale yellow accents pop against soft-grey walls.
French grey walls and a crystal chandelier create a Paris apartment feel.
Matelasse curtains, cable-knit broadloom, white and purple linens add warmth and style to this pretty, light-filled bedroom.
The white fireplace and accents pop against walls painted a warm shade of dark brown.
Erika Federspiel of Toronto won "Best Living Room Transformation" in our 2008 design contest for this character-filled space. Erika had the Danish chair and ottoman refinished and reupholstered to work with the room's black, grey and brown palette.

Holland on track to start home opener
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Derek Holland is on track to pitch the Rangers' home opener against the Angels on April 5. He just hasn't been officially told yet. But Holland is following Alexi Ogando in the rotation this spring and would be far too difficult to switch them now.
The Rangers' home opener is scheduled for April 5 against the Angels. Holland will likely pitch against left-hander Jason Vargas for the Angels, and it will be former Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton's first game back after leaving as a free agent.
"I've never pitched an opener before," Holland said. "It's just as good as Opening Day. Obviously it's a big game because it's the Angels and since everybody is making a big deal about Josh's return."
Holland's next two starts are against the Padres, on Monday in Peoria and Saturday in San Antonio.

2013 Harvest Analysis Detects Mycotoxin Threat
[LEXINGTON, Ky.] – It's not too early to begin scouting the fields, preparing for the 2013 harvest and the potential mycotoxin challenges it may bring.
Producers are still dealing with the 2012 contaminated corn crop and the issues it has brought to cow health and performance. Alltech's 37+ Program surveyed 329 samples from July 1 through Dec. 31, 2012, and results showed only one percent of the samples analyzed were free of mycotoxins.
Analyses conducted since January has shown similar results but with interesting new findings: the numbers of mycotoxins present are still increasing.
"This increase in the total numbers of mycotoxins over time can be attributed to areas such as poor fermentation and inadequate packing or face management that can contribute to further mold growth and mycotoxin production," said Dr. Max Hawkins, Alltech Mycotoxin Management Team.
While 2013's crop may have different results, Hawkins said mycotoxins are already showing up in different parts of the country due to late planting, more moisture and temperature swings.
"Producers need to implement a mycotoxin control program now to reduce the threat to their herds," Hawkins said. "This is the time to be proactive."
Hawkins said the new crop is variable across the country due to weather and planting, and the early samples of wheat and barley are showing DON. Hay and haylage analyses have also shown mycotoxins present and, without a preventative plan, cows may experience a drop in milk production as well as health issues.
Due to the "trash" or crop residue on top of the ground during a cold, wet spring, an ideal climate was created for many fusarium molds to get a foothold.
The future mycotoxin picture is still unclear but the levels of harmful contaminants will depend on the weather leading up to harvest and the way crops are stored. At harvest time, it is recommended for mycotoxin contaminated grain to be dried to 14 percent moisture within 24 to 48 hours to stabilize mold growth and ensure adequate grain storage. By limiting mold growth, mycotoxin production can be stabilized, but any mycotoxins already present would remain.
Hawkins recommends producers using the rest of the 2012 crop should only run aeration fans during the coolest times of day or night and continually monitor stored grain for temperature and mycotoxins.
Mold growth in storage is greater where there are leaks in facilities and where fines and damaged kernels are concentrated. Grain should be held at 50 degrees Fahrenheit or less as new mold growth will increase temperature and moisture in surrounding grain.
Hawkins encourages producers to be vigilant with their myocotoxin management programs as they finish out the 2012 harvest and continue to track the 2013 crop as harvest approaches.

Nebraska would become one of only two states in the country that offer tax credits for renewable energy generation under a bill in the Legislature.
The bill would offer a new tax incentive for solar, wind, biomass and landfill gas energy producers just as the federal tax credit on renewable energy production is set to expire at the end of 2013.
Gov. Dave Heineman does not want the tax credit, calling it more special interest tax breaks.
The Revenue Committee refuses to provide much-needed tax relief to Nebraska families, Nebraska seniors, Nebraska veterans and Nebraska small business owners. The Revenue Committees priorities are misguided," he said.
Sens. Tom Hansen of North Platte, Charlie Janssen of Fremont and Beau McCoy of Omaha voted against it.
But the sponsor, Sen. Jeremy Nordquist of Omaha, said the bill "would make would make us a magnet for renewable energy developers." He said the tax incentive would give Nebraska a competitive advantage over other states in attracting investment in renewables.
Currently, only Oklahoma offers a production-based tax credit on renewable energy.
Despite covering several categories of renewable energy, Nordquist said the bills goal is to attract wind developers.
Nebraska currently ranks fourth in the nation in wind resources, according to the American Wind Energy Association. The state had 260 wind turbines operating in 2012 with a total capacity of 459 megawatts, providing 2.9 percent of Nebraskas power.
By comparison, Iowa, which ranks seventh in the nation in wind resources, had a total wind energy capacity of 4,536 megawatts and generated more than 18 percent of its power from wind in 2011, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
Even with plentiful wind resources, Nebraska is falling behind neighboring states in wind energy production.
Nordquists bill would provide a tax credit of 0.5 cents for each kilowatt-hour of electricity generated from a renewable source. That amount would increase to a peak of 1.5 cents between 2015 and 2017, dropping back down to 0.5 cents after 2019.
Producers would be eligible for the credit for up to eight years.
The estimated cost to the state for these tax credits is about $2 million for the fiscal year 2014-2015.
Sen. Paul Schumacher of Columbus asked if the tax credit is necessary to attract developers considering Nebraskas abundant wind resources.
Richard Lombardi, representing the Wind Coalition, a nonprofit group that advocates for wind energy production, responded by saying that the energy market is heavily subsidized and energy producers are forced to go where the incentives are greatest.
Tax policy is everything in energy policy, he said.
Lombardi said the state, and particularly rural areas, would benefit from an increase in wind energy production. Wind projects become one of the largest taxpayers, he said.
David Levy, representing Midwest Wind Energy, a wind farm development company with operations in Nebraska, agreed that the tax credit is necessary to attract more investment.
Other states tax incentives put Nebraska at a disadvantage, he said.
Levy said Midwest Wind Energy projects in Custer, Knox and Boone counties would generate an estimated $66 million in local and state tax revenue over the next 10 years, adding, We would like to build more projects in Nebraska.
No one testified against the bill.
Nordquist said the committee would hear testimony on a number of related bills and encouraged members to consider some form of incentive for renewable energy development.

text: Maybe WVU's just not very good By Dave Hickman January 19, 2013 Story Share WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - For the record, it is the considered opinion of Juwan Staten that what West Virginia's basketball team endured Saturday afternoon here at Mackey Arena was not the low-water mark of the season to date.The Mountaineers fell behind almost from the start, were never really competitive at all, trailed by as many as 32 points and were completely embarrassed by a mediocre Purdue team, losing 79-52."No,'' Staten said. "Gonzaga was worse than this.''OK, so maybe the sophomore point guard has a point. It seems an eternity since that night in Spokane, Wash., but it's hard to argue that an 84-50 trouncing in the season opener was not even worse than this. And, truth be told, don't you have to toss losing a 15-point lead and losing to Duquesne in the mix for consideration, too?Here's the thing, though. You and I and Staten and Bob Huggins and anyone else can debate the merits of torturous, humiliating losses all we want. The really disturbing part is that the topic is somehow necessary and debatable.That 17 games into the season the deliberation concerning West Virginia's basketball team is over which of its losses was the most mortifying is something few thought possible.Huggins never did."I didn't see this coming,'' Huggins said Saturday, talking not about the loss to Purdue - although that might qualify as well - but the complete breakdown of a team he truly thought had great potential.Indeed, prior to the season Huggins was nearly giddy in his belief that this team had potential. He famously said after West Virginia was picked to finish sixth in its first season in the Big 12 that "if we're the sixth-best team then this is a hell of a league.'' He talked Saturday about it again."I thought we recruited two good freshmen [Terry Henderson and Eron Harris] who have made shots. They're probably our two best shooters,'' Huggins said. "We had Jabarie [Hinds] and Gary [Browne] back after sharing the point guard duties a year ago, and one sitting out [Staten] who practiced every day. So we should have great ball security. We should be able to pass the basketball with three guys who have played point.''Throw in transfer Matt Humphrey, who was supposed to be another shooter to stretch defenses. Throw in not one, not two, but four bigs with Deniz Kilicli, Aaric Murray, Kevin Noreen and Dominique Rutledge. Throw in Huggins' desire to pick up the pace on both ends and get easy baskets.It all seemed, at least in theory, to be a pretty good mix."If you just look at us, you'd think we're pretty good,'' Huggins said. "I mean, just look at us. We've got some big, strong guys. We've got some quickness on the perimeter. But I just don't know if we know how to play basketball.'' Yeah, well, there's a pretty important intangible, right? The thing is, Huggins has always been great at teaching that aspect. You don't win 718 games not knowing how. He's been able to take diverse groups and mold them into winners using all sorts of different styles.With this group he's tried just about everything. He's gone big and small. He's played inside out and outside in. He's turned his shooters loose and even given his bigs a shot at using their muscle inside or their skills outside.Nothing has worked. At least not consistently.And so now, 17 games into a 32-game season (including at least one game in the Big 12 tournament), here are the cold, hard facts about where the Mountaineers stand. They are under .500 at 8-9. They have 14 regular-season games to play and at least that one in Kansas City. In order to have a chance even to qualify for the NIT, West Virginia will have to finish at .500 or better. (That's not actually a rule anymore, but the tournament has never taken a sub-.500 team.)That means 16 and probably at least 17 wins. In order to get to 17 wins, West Virginia has to either go 9-5 the rest of the regular season or go 8-6 and win at least a game in Kansas City.Is that possible? Sure. With 14 games to play there is still a chance to right this ship. The Mountaineers have, in fact, actually shown signs of the potential to do so in a few recent games. Of those final 17 games, only three are against teams that are ranked today - two against No. 4 Kansas and one at No. 16 Kansas State. So it's possible.But the fact of the matter is, despite Huggins' preseason beliefs and despite West Virginia's recent history of churning out NCAA tournament teams (five in a row now and seven in the last eight years, interrupted only by an NIT championship team) and despite anything else, here's the question that begs to be answered:Is this perhaps just not a very good basketball team? Forget the excuses and the areas that can be improved and everything else. Are we just trying to make chicken salad here out of, well, you get the picture."It's sure looking that way, isn't it?'' Huggins said.Right about now it sure is.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

It has been five years since Codemasters' acclaimed racer hit the tracks. MCV speaks to the team to discuss the game's legacy, new tech and why Grid 2 has taken so long to arrive
What sort of research did you undertake with Grid 2?
Edd Newby-Robson, Senior Brand Manager: We've been taking our time talking to our consumers. We really think one of our strengths is understanding what our punters want and what our gamers want and melding that beautifully with the creativity, innovation and experience of our studio. We spoke to about 4,000 gamers. The first survey was done three years ago and then we did it again at the end of last year. We get so much integral information, both from this, but also from the games themselves. We use our telemetry from our games to understand how people play them. There was key bits of information that came out of those surveys and also telemetry and some of those would be how our gamers play our games. 85% of them use one of two camera options – bonnet cam and chasing cam, which is quite interesting because we spend a lot of time doing several different cameras in a lot of our games but it turns out that, I think 75% of people use chase, and ten per cent use bonnet, and the remainder do the others. So it's a huge, huge amount of people that play it in that way.
We think that means Grid 2 at retail will appeal to a broader consumer than just the hard-core racing fan. That's not to say that it won't appeal to the hardcore and our trusted Grid followers that have been with us all these years.
Also, about 90 per cent of our players play using control pads rather than a steering wheel. Whilst it's a huge amount of time making it absolutely amazing on the wheel, what we have to do and what we are doing is making it really fun to play on pads because most of our players are in the situation where they don't have a huge room set aside with a racing seat and a racing wheel and all that kind of stuff let alone the finances to buy all that kit. We really want to make this truly, and I hate using this word, accessible, but I mean that in it's broadest term not in a 'dumbed down game' sense. We're looking to make it fun, allowing the audience to enjoy it.
So there are a couple of different bits. I'd like to think we know our gamers really well. We know what they like and what they don't like. We know how they like to play online, how they like to connect with all their other devices. They told us they wanted the game to be more exciting, more exhilarating, much more an interactive entertainment experience than just driving a car around a track in a Ford Fiesta. One of the primary things I'm really keen to do as a racing game player myself is to provide the studio with this information and then anticipate what they do with it.
Clive Moody, Executive Producer: That stuff with the research is really important to us. It's a fantastic insight and a great spectrum for our developers and as Ed has just alluded to as well, it really is only half of the story. If we just took that research as it stood and took everything on board, what you'd end up with is a game that is kind of homogenised, a lowest common denominator of racing games if you like, taking on those core things which people are feeding back on. So a lot of the skill in the studio itself is taking those ideas and building on them as well. It's something that we've always tried to do, without exception, trying to bring something new to the mix and bring innovation to the game. If you think back to 2008 when the first game came out, the focus in that game was all about the race, it was all about the action that took place on the track and the technological innovation and 'Flashback' was a perfect example of that where you could rewind time. That's been adopted by almost every racing game out there now; they've all got their own version or copy of that system. That was our starting point and everything we've looked at in terms of designing Grid 2, right the way through production, is maintaining that focus and keeping those core values that the game is all about the race.
It's an area that we still think is lacking a lot of racing titles. A lot of racing games have come and gone in the four years that we've been away, and I still can't see any game that has captured the exhilaration, excitement and aggression of the feeling of being in the middle of a really hard-fought race. That remains the focus, if you like, for Grid 2, to try and bring back that feeling.
"Grid 2 is our most expensive development to-date"
So what's new in terms of content?
Moody: We're sort of broadening in terms of the events and the styles of racing that the player can experience. We've split that down three ways. Street racing is pretty much driving around cities. They're set-up as real events, its not illegal racing by any extent, but street racing around iconic locations. There's a whole new set of locations that we've introduced to this game, all of which are going to bring something slightly different to the mix.
The second part is what we call Road Racing. Open roads, long sweeping, very, very fast, tight routes. This brings a danger element in. Because they're open roads they don't have all the safe features like barriers down the sides so it's all about danger and California's got cliff edges high up with nothing to stop you driving off the edge.
Another new element is the more traditional Track Racing. Classic legendary circuits from around the world. Again, we've a really nice mix. We've got some real old classics in there and we've got some new circuits as well, ones that you won't have seen in a racing game before.
The game is broken into single and multiplayer experiences and they are independent. The solo experience is that blockbuster approach if you like. High production values, a real journey that we take the player on from the lower end of motor sport right the way through to being a champion supercar driver. That's set against our multiplayer that we're trying to make 100 per cent independent. It comes back to some of the research we've been doing to understand how people approach our games. What we know about racing games is that the experiences they want are very, very different. The multiplayer online gamer wants an experience, which is totally tailored towards them. It still has that progression system, it allows them to customised, it allows them to show off and to brag but it is all about that. There's no link to what they want to do in the single player experience so that flexibility, that customisation, that level of connectivity in the online experience is going to be very, very important.
The real goal for us with that as well is longevity. We look at other games, not in a related genre, and we see enormous longevity in terms of how long people play them, 12, 18 months beyond the launch of the title and that's absolutely our goal this time around with the multiplayer experience. We want to try and maintain that kind of longevity and that sense of progression and ownership.
What sort of investment are you making into Grid 2?
Moody: In terms of the cost, I believe it's probably our most expensive development to date. There's a future map being poured into it and obviously this is a game, which has been in pre-production for some considerable time as well because we know we absolutely have to get it right. It's a sequel to one of our most successful games at Codemasters and it's very, very important for the business. From my point of view, it's really important that we raise the bar even further and set the new benchmark for racing games.
Is that why it has taken so long to come out? To get it right?
Moody: There are a couple of reasons behind that. When we came off the back of the first game, which was hugely successful, we had a massive amount of ambition for where we wanted to take Grid 2. You've got to bear in mind that at that time, going back four or five years, we were still relatively early in the current generation console lifecycle and our technology and our processes were absolutely not as they are now. It's really taken two, three years to get that technology up to the point where we were going to deliver all the ambition that we've got for the game.
So we've taken our time rather than just rushing out a sequel, which I'm sure, would have been great but probably wouldn't have hit the heights that we want this game to hit. I suppose the other element really is that obviously there's been a real ebb and flow in the racing genre and we've seen a lot of games come and lot of games go in that time. It feels like the time is right to bring back an experience which puts that focus back onto the race itself.
It would have been five years between Grid games. Are you sure the fanbase is still there?
Adrian Lawton, Communications Manager: The reception has been phenomenal to be honest. The video has got 1,000 likes and like 10 dislikes on YouTube. Where most videos get about 80 per cent success with likes to dislikes ratio, we're at 99 per cent.
Newby-Robson: That's just a really short teaser video. We've had some great responses on our #TheRaceReturns Twitter stuff we've been doing and a few little teaser images we've been popping out.
Moody: Yeah, it's probably a question I've been asked more times than any question over the last four years – when is the next game coming and why is it taking so long? It's brilliant to break cover to be honest and start talking about it and showing people what we're doing and where we're taking on it.
"We've been pushing our technology, which puts us in a really great place when it comes to the next generation."
How has the technology changed?
Moody: There's a massive amount of new technology going in actually. We've got an entirely new lighting pipeline that we're putting into the game. It grounds everything much more into reality in terms of the way that shadows are cast, the way that light bounces around the scenes and the way it hits walls and lights the dark points in the environment. It no-longer feels like you've got an environment that's been built independently from the car, and they've then been plopped together so they don't necessarily gel.
We've also taken a huge amount of inspiration from movies and from people like Michael Mann, some of his visual style that he brings to his movies, and we've tried to get some of that tone, that emotion and drama and try and bring that back into our game experience. It's something else which our new lighting techniques that we've got are enabling us to do to try and get that visual step up in quality.
Visuals aside, pretty much every other aspect of the game has been going through an overhaul so car handling is running twice as fast as any other game out there at the moment. Other areas, like damage is taking another huge leap forward with much better modelling now so it's less about metal bending now with things like carbon fibre, plastic, all painted correctly in terms of the way they shatter, break and splinter. AI, again, a huge, huge step forward because we now have something in the region of 60 different attributes that determine an AI driver's characteristics. That can be from how quick they are, how aggressive they are, their speed into corners, how quickly they come out of corners, are they going to try to dodge into gaps if they can see one, will they drive defensively; the list goes on. It's a system that we are confident that we could take any real world driver and the driver's car and replicate that using the AI parameters that we've got.
Does the technology you're using now on Grid 2 prepare you well for the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation?
Moody: Yeah, it absolutely does. Keeping that technology up to date has always been really important to us. The EGO technology platform continues to evolve and adapt and get new features introduced into it. I think that it's pretty fair to say that we've continued to support PC all the way through this generation. We've been pushing our technology all the time and keeping on top of that so I think if you look at that, it puts us in a really great place where we know where we're going with next generation technology as and when that comes into being. I think we should be in a very strong position to take advantage of it.
"We want Grid to be vying with F1 as our best-selling racing game"
How does Grid 2 fit into the wider Codemasters Racing portfolio?
Newby-Robson: The original Grid was our best selling title ever in the USA, one of our best selling titles ever and, bearing in mind F1 is a massive licence, it even compares with our best selling F1 titles. We want Grid to be vying with F1 to be the best selling racing game that Codemasters releases. I love F1 and I know the guys do brilliant things and F1 2012 will be even better this year but I want us to be having, shall we say, a friendly rivalry between our studios in order to sell more units than them.

Lilly to rest after receiving injection in rib cage
LOS ANGELES -- Ted Lilly is not returning to the disabled list just yet.
Lilly received an injection in his right rib cage on Tuesday after experiencing discomfort during his start on Monday against the Rockies. The left-hander will not throw for two days and will then be re-evaluated.
Lilly allowed five runs on eight hits in three innings during Monday's 12-2 loss. The veteran said he felt tightness in his back and neck during the first inning.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said management didn't know Lilly was experiencing discomfort until after Monday's game. The manager would have preferred to know about Lilly's health in advance to allow the club to plan accordingly. The Dodgers used four relievers over five innings before second baseman Skip Schumaker pitched a scoreless ninth.
"That's fine that he feels it, but he's got to let somebody know," Mattingly said before Tuesday's game against the Rockies. "Then at least we know when we go into the game that we possibly should have a guy here that can go four or five innings. He can't just keep that to himself. He hasn't been getting any treatment for it. They've been working on his neck, but that's kind of an ongoing thing with Teddy."
Lilly's neck was an issue in 2012 and he began the season on the disabled list because of it. He returned and won his first five decisions, but injured his shoulder and required season-ending surgery. Lilly started this year on the disabled list and returned to pitch five innings last Wednesday against the Mets, allowing one run. He said he started to feel the neck on Thursday and again while warming up before Monday's start.
Mattingly said Lilly's rib and neck issues are not related, but added the lefty has experienced rib issues occasionally during the past year.
"The injection in the past has taken care of it," the manager said Tuesday night after the Dodgers beat the Rockies, 6-2. "He's got a couple days off and we'll see where he's at."
If Lilly is unable to make his scheduled start Saturday at San Francisco, Matt Magill is likely to replace him. In his Major League debut last Saturday, Magill allowed two runs on four hits with seven strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
"That's the logical thing for us to do," Mattingly said.
