From Athenawiki
Athena Format
The Athena Format is the format that Athena Thesaurus is expressed with. This format is here proposed to the museums who want to map their own terminology with Athena Thesaurus. In this case, they have to use Athena Format in order to form their descriptions before mapping. As a SKOS-compliant format, Athena Format guarantees to the museums that their descriptions respect the relative Europeana requirement regarding SKOS.
Although SKOS is a basic structure for the formal representation of controlled vocabularies, it can be extended and customized very easily to have a more precise description of the terms and also include lexical elements related to these terms. The ATHENA Format is mainly based on the SKOS core data model, and it has been inspired by the museumvok format in order to include some specific details.
The metadata part of the ATHENA Format is intending to provide administrative information on the terminology that has been converted in SKOS.
These elements are borrowed from the Dublin Core data model (with the prefix "dc:") and provide details about the terminology. Designing the metadata of the terminology in Dublin Core could eventually enable the OAI harvesting in the context of a repository or database of lexical or terminology resources.
The last element is not part of the Dublin Core data model but may be useful to check if the SKOS version of the terminology has a 'valid', 'in validation' or 'draft' status. This set of elements is defined in order to get the same information for all the terminology resources that will be transformed into SKOS within the ATHENA project.
As we already said, the concept is the central element of the SKOS data model. The data model makes a distinction between classes and properties. The first items of the table above skos:Concept and skos:ConceptScheme are classes whereas the next items (skos:inScheme, skos:hasTopConcept, skos:topConceptOf) are properties.
The property skos:topConceptOf is set in italics because it is the inverse property of skos:hasTopConcept then duplication of these two properties for linking two same concepts is not useful. Therefore this property is optional. When a property is the inverse of another one it supposes that only the subject or the object of an assertion need to have the mention of the property. A same concept cannot have these two properties at the same time with the same object. For example: A skos:hasTopConcept B B skos:topConceptOf A
These two assertions express the same information then it is possible to use only one of them and avoid duplication of information.
The class for ordered collection and the corresponding property are set in italics to highlight that this is a possibility offered by the SKOS data model but it has to be used only if the order of the concepts within the collection is really relevant.
As we intend to bring together very different terminologies with very different scopes, the notion of collection may be useful to set these concepts as groups within the ATHENA Thesaurus. Indeed, some terminologies are only used for indexing, others are designed to improve information retrieval. Some terminologies are aiming at professionnals whereas others are reachable by general public. The notion of collection can help to bring consistency among this diversity and give a facility to create thematic groups.
In this description block, we include the three different types of lexical labels. The preferred label is set in bold font because we define it as a mandatory property for the ATHENA Thesaurus. As we saw in the SKOS section, the SKOS data model does not force the use of labels for expressing a concept since a concept can be defined only through its semantic relations. But in the context of the ATHENA Thesaurus which is made from existing thesauri, the migration from descriptors to labels should be done carefully. Then we consider that the use of a preferred term is mandatory. We define the skos:notation property as optional since we gathered very few classifications during our inventory phase and therefore we privilege the use of labels instead of notations.
skos:note is the most generic type of note, then in order to force a more precise description of terms we set this property as optional in the ATHENA format. skos:historyNote is mainly dedicated to keep track of diachronic evolution of terms. As the terminology resources gathered for the ATHENA thesaurus do not provide this information in most of the cases, we set this property optional. Also, there might be a confusion between the skos:historyNote and the skos:changeNote; the skos:changeNote is mainly used to keep track of the evolution of description of a concept, e.g. a change in the labels used to express this concept or a change in its semantic relations.
Almost all the documentation properties have been included in the ATHENA Format since it is important to keep as much as possible of the information from the source terminology in order to keep track of the versions and changes of concepts.
As recommended by the SKOS data model, the language tags introduced in RDF by the @xml:lang attribute, are set as mandatory in the ATHENA Format in order to enable the multilingualism and highlight the linguistic richness of the resources that will compose the ATHENA Thesaurus. This attribute will be used for the labels and the documentation properties as well.
These semantic relations constitute the core and the strength of the SKOS data model, and then it is logical to emphasize them in the ATHENA Format. Although the transitive properties skos:broaderTransitive and skos:narrowerTransitive are set in italics, since they may be useful to make transitive assertions, the use of these properties is optional.
As for the semantic relations, the mapping properties constitute the essence of the SKOS data model. Then these properties will be used in the ATHENA Format to make alignment links between concepts from different concept schemes.
This section presented the format that will be used for all the terminology resources gathered during the inventory phase initiated for the first WP4 deliverable in order to constitute the ATHENA Thesaurus. We wanted here to emphasize that the main features of the SKOS data model are reused in this format but although some of these features are made mandatory or optional in the framework of the ATHENA Thesaurus in order to get a homogeneous description of very heterogeneous terminologies.
SKOS: some examples
RAMEAU Concepts are described here according to the SKOS model to represent knowledge organization systems on the semantic web. Each concept comes with labelling information (either preferred or alternative labels) but also semantic relations to other concepts (broader, related) and various kind of notes.
The Eurovoc thesaurus is a multilingual, polythematic thesaurus focusing on the law and legislation of the European Union (EU). It is maintained by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities and it is accesible in 21 official languages of the EU. Within the EU, the Eurovoc thesaurus is used in the Library of the European Parliament, the Publication Office as well as other information institutions of the EU. Moreover, the Eurovoc thesaurus is used in the libraries and documentation centers of national parliaments e.g. Spanish Senate) as well as other governmental and private organizations of member (and non-member) countries of the EU. Eurovoc exists in 22 official languages of the European Union (Bulgarian, Spanish, Czech, Danish, German, Estonian, Greek, English, French, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Finnish and Swedish) and one another language (Croatian).

Mount Foraker -The Ice Cream Cone of Alaska
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
While flying around Mount McKinley (20,320') in our Cessina on 20 JUL 2007, we caught Mount Foraker (17,400') in the Ice Cream mode. The impresive, and dangerous peak, is a worthy companion to Denali.
The entire area is fantastic.
My thanks goes out to pilot Bill Post, who, while operating out of Talkeetna Air Taxi, knows this area like we know our home. His incredible skill made many of these images possible.

Sen. Barack Obama has repeatedly insisted that he opposed the passage of an Illinois law that would protect infants who survive an abortion on the grounds that it lacked a "neutrality clause." However, Obama's explanation was undermined when the National Right to Life Committee revealed "smoking gun" evidence showing that a neutrality clause had in fact been added to the Illinois bill by the same Obama-chaired state Senate committee which quickly voted down the amended bill.
National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) spokesman Douglas Johnson summarized the revelations, saying:
"Newly obtained documents prove that in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion -- even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002, explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion.
"Obama's legislative actions in 2003 -- denying effective protection even to babies born alive during abortions -- were contrary to the position taken on the same language by even the most liberal members of Congress. The bill Obama killed was virtually identical to the federal bill that even NARAL ultimately did not oppose."
The federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) was first introduced into Congress in 2000. A two-paragraph bill, it was intended to clarify that any baby who is entirely expelled from his or her mother and shows any signs of life is to be regarded as a legal person for all purposes of federal law, whether or not the baby was born during an attempted abortion.
A "neutrality clause" was added to state explicitly that the bill expressed no judgment about the legal status of a human being prior to birth.
"Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being 'born alive' as defined in this section," it read.
The bill passed Congress in 2002 without any dissenting votes and was enacted in August of that year.
As a member of the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama opposed a state version of BAIPA in three successive regular legislative sessions. Even after the pro-abortion group NARAL withdrew its opposition, Obama reportedly continued to oppose the bill, which did not pass the Illinois Senate until 2005, after Obama had left that legislative body.
During his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign, Obama's Republican opponent charged Obama with supporting "infanticide" for opposing the bill, which charge Obama countered by claiming the proposed Illinois law substantially differed from the federal version of BAIPA.
According to an October 4, 2004 article in the Chicago Tribune, "Obama said that had he been in the U.S. Senate two years ago, he would have voted for the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, even though he voted against a state version of the proposal. The federal version was approved; the state version was not. …The difference between the state and federal versions, Obama explained, was that the state measure lacked the federal language clarifying that the act would not be used to undermine Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court opinion that legalized abortion."
However, the NRLC claims that newly obtained documents "demonstrate conclusively" that Obama's defense is based on a "brazen factual misrepresentation."
The NRLC said in a Monday statement that it has obtained documents proving that in 2003, when Obama was chairman of the Illinois state Senate Health and Human Services Committee, he presided over a committee meeting in which the "neutrality clause," copied verbatim from the federal bill, was added to the Illinois BAIPA. Though Obama reportedly voted in support of adding the revision, immediately afterwards he joined other Democrats on the committee in voting against the amended bill.
The amended bill failed by a vote of 6 to 4 on March 13.
NRLC claims the bill was "virtually identical" to the federal law, differing only on "minor points" of drafting style. It cites as evidence the Senate Committee Action Report of March 12, 2003, which includes reports of the following day's committee action. NRLC says the "neutrality clause" is shown to have been added in an amendment to Senate Bill 1082, the Illinois BAIPA proposal, by a vote of 10 to 0, including Obama's vote.
Obama supporters have repeated the Democratic candidate's explanation of his opposition to the BAIPA bill. A June 30, 2008 "Fact Check" article on the Obama campaign web site insists the Illinois and the federal legislation "were not the same," repeating the claim that the state bill lacked the clause expressing no judgment concerning the legal status of the unborn child.
In his 2008 campaign Obama himself has repeated his self-justifications from 2004.
Also on June 30, CNN reported "Senator Obama says if he had been in the U.S. Senate in 2002, he, too, would have voted in favor of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act because unlike the Illinois bill, it included language protecting Roe v. Wade."
An August 7 New York Times article similarly reported that Obama "said he had opposed the bill because it was poorly drafted and would have threatened the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade that established abortion as a constitutional right. He said he would have voted for a similar bill that passed the United States Senate because it did not have the same constitutional flaw as the Illinois bill."
Susan Armacost, Legislative Director at Wisconsin Right to Life, on Thursday told CNA the new evidence suggests Obama is trying to hide the fact that there was a neutrality clause. That he opposed the bill even after the addition of the clause, she argued, "tells voters that he knows that what he did is not in-synch with the American People. We see that he is so tied in to the abortion mentality that he will even accept that the deaths of children who are 'legal persons.'"
Susan Muskett, J.D., Legislative Counsel for the NRLC, told CNA on Thursday that the newly revealed evidence is "unbiased documentation showing that the committee voted 10-0 to adapt a neutrality clause, then voted to kill the bill. The smoking gun committee report is irrefutable evidence of what took place that day."
A writer from the magazine Human Events had contacted some Republican senators who sat on Obama's Illinois Senate committee, who confirmed that the bill had been voted on.
In a January 16, 2008 column, Terrence Jeffrey, a contributing editor to HumanEvents.com, apparently was the first to correctly report that the amended version of BAIPA had been blocked by Obama and the Illinois Senate committee. According to the NRLC, his report was ignored by the Obama campaign and overlooked by others.
The NRLC has posted its supporting documentation at the web address http://nrlc.org/ObamaBAIPA/

Help With Some Old Guns, Please
Good evening.
I am in possession of some old rifles that I'm trying to date and/or figure out what their value might be.
These were my Grandfather's guns, and they have not been fired since he passed away. He died in 1952, so you can imagine the type of condition these guns are in.
First, I have a Remington .257 Roberts, Model 722. Serial 258***, and I see a series of letters and numbers that include the following: YY X 44.
Second, I have a Winchester .22 pump, Model 62A. Serial 237***.
Next is a Remington .22. All I saw on it was The Sportsmaster, and Model 341.
Finally, I have a L.C. Smith Field Grade Double-Barrelled shotgun. It's a side-by-side, and the only other markings I found on it were "Hunter Arms Co. Inc. M.F.R.'s Fulton, NY."
Also have a Mauser hand gun. I saw, "Waffenfabrik Mauser, A.G. Oberndorf A.N.M", with the small numbers "945" on the underside.
There are many other guns that I have that were stored away for just as long, but I only wrote the info down for these few. Since some of these guns, not all, are going to an auction, I'd like to get an idea of what to expect to get for them. Thanks SO much for any help!

The Remington 722 was a short action bolt rifle. It was made in three grades, the 722(A) the 722ADL and the 722BDL.
It was made from 1948 to 1962.
Value depends on which grade. The 722(A) is the plainer version. The 722ADL has better wood and better checkering, the 722BDL has select wood.
The ADL and BDL markings are not stamped on the gun, the features indicate the grade.
Value for a plain version 722 in 95% condition is "about" $300, PLUS 20% extra for the .257 Roberts caliber.
A ADL in 95% is about $400, a BDL about $475.
The Winchester 62A pump was made from 1932 to 1958.
There were about 409,000 made.
It was a modernized version of the Winchester Model 1890 pump gun.
Value in 95% is about $500.
The Remington Sportsmaster Model 341 was made from 1936 to 1940 with 131,604 made.
There were three models, the 341A, 341P, and 341SB.
In 95% values run from about $150 to $235.
The Hunter Arms was made in Fulton New York from 1890 to 1945, by the Hunter Arms Company. In 1946 Marlin bought them out.
Hunter Arms were the lower priced models and are NOT L.C. Smith guns, although made by the same company.
A standard Field grade in 95% would run about $800.
You'd add 33% for auto ejectors, $200 for single triggers, 30% for 20 gauge, and 300% for a .410.
We need more info on the Mauser pistol. It could be a Mauser 1910/1914/1934, or it could be a Mauser HSc.
The 1910 series were single action autos, the HSc is a streamlined double action model with a safety on the slide.

Thanks so much for the information. I really appreciate it. Somewhat disappointed to hear about the L.C. Smith shotgun, but still a fine gun, none the less.
The mauser I'd have to check on. It's a small gun, with a magazine. I'd almost have to post a picture, because I'm not sure what else to look for on it.

Yes....pretty similar. Not exactly, though. Same basic design.
I'll try and post a picture tomorrow.

Well, there's one more gun I need some help with....
It's an Ithaca 12 Ga shotgun, model 37. Again, I'm not sure of the exact age of the gun, but considering that it's been in storage since 1951, it's at least that old.
Thanks for any help.

The special bank holiday, to mark the Monarch's 60 years on the throne, will be on Monday June 4 – her official birthday. The traditional late spring bank holiday will also be delayed until Tuesday June 5 to give the country a four-day break.
The plans will be announced by Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, in the New Year. Ministers and the royal family are still considering how to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee with plans for a nationwide series of celebrations.
There is expected to be a contest for up to two towns to become cities with substantial extra public funding for the winners. Princes William and Harry are also expected to be involved in the establishment of a new youth volunteering scheme. A service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral is also being planned.
There may also be a parade and possibly even another rock concert following the success of the Party at the Palace event to celebrate the Golden Jubilee in 2002. An estimated one million people lined The Mall to cheer the Queen.
Schoolchildren and teachers are expected to be given a longer summer holiday to compensate them for the bank holidays falling during half term.
The Diamond Jubilee celebrations will take place just weeks before the London Olympics begin. However, the Queen, 83, is reported to believe that the celebrations have their own identity rather than just being a curtain-raiser for the games.
The extra bank holiday is to be announced following a campaign by MPs. Andrew Rosindell, a Conservative MP who introduced new legislation calling for the extra day off, said: "I am delighted this is going ahead.
"The Queen has been an outstanding head of state. It is important that the Diamond Jubilee is not drowned out by the Olympics and this is a good way of ensuring that."
Lindsay Hoyle, a Labour MP, added: "It is a momentous event and the whole country and Commonwealth will want to celebrate the longevity of the Queen and her magnificent service. She commands respect from everyone, regardless of political differences. She is part of what makes Britain special."
Labour is under pressure from the trade unions to introduce another permanent bank holiday. England and Wales have eight bank holidays annually, compared with a European Union average of eleven days.

Lenovo ThinkPad SL400 Review
By August 20, 2008reviewed
Lenovo's $1,119 ThinkPad SL400 is a well-priced thin-and-light business system that has the sturdy feel (and bulky design) of a midsize. It more than holds its own against the similarly corporate—but pricier—HP Compaq 6730b, beating it on some key benchmarks. Though its discrete graphics outperformed the 6730b's integrated solution, it's still weak if you need graphics power for your business apps.
With its smudge-resistant black finish and glossy cover, the SL400's design is pure corporate. The keyboard is soft and easy to work with, and fans of Lenovo's signature TrackPoint pointing stick will be happy to see it here. (There's a traditional trackpad under the keyboard.) The decidedly old-school display, a 14.1-inch matte screen (running at 1,440x900) with an anti-glare finish, looks as good (if not better) than some of the glossy screens we've looked at lately, and it's much better-suited for a crowded conference room or office.
Besides looking good, the system's design also functions well, keeping it cool and silent. Its bulk and 5.5 pound weight—especially when paired with the optional nine-cell battery that came with our review unit—push this system dangerously close to the midsize range; make no mistake, you'll feel this system in your carrying case. The unit more than makes up for this, however, with the variety of connectivity options: four USB ports, a FireWire jack, an ExpressCard slot, a multiformat memory-card reader, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, VGA out, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and an HDMI output.
The ThinkPad SL400 is based around Intel's Montevina platform, which is supposed to dramatically improve a system's performance while expending less power. Our review unit, armed with a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 and 2GB of RAM, certainly demonstrated a performance boost over other thin-and-light systems in its price range, though the jump was far from dramatic. It scored a 5,229 in PCMark05 and did even better in the more Vista-friendly PCMark Vantage, scoring a fantastic 3,548. Media performance marks were also encouraging: The SL400 plowed through our Windows Media Encoder test in 6 minutes and 44 seconds and converted 11 songs in iTunes in 4 minutes and 12 seconds. The system also managed 729 in Cinebench 9.5 and 4,612 in Cinebench 10.
As you would expect from a business system, gaming is not one of the ThinkPad SL400's strong suits—its 256MB Nvidia GeForce 9300M discrete GPU only scored a 2,248 in 3DMark06. It can run some older titles, but don't expect to play Fallout 3 on launch day—it managed a slow 10 frames per second (fps) on F.E.A.R. at 1,024x768.
Battery life was a lot stronger. With a nine-cell battery, the system lasted 2 hours and 59 minutes in our DVD-rundown test; the runtime with the standard three-cell battery would probably be a third of that. Prospective DVD-watchers should also know that the speakers on the ThinkPad SL400 are a bit on the weak side.
We've looked at a lot of business laptops this year, but few have hit on the essentials—good display, comfortable design, portability, price, and connectivity—as well as the ThinkPad SL400.

STRATOVARIUS guitarist Timo Tolkki was assaulted in the center of Granada, Spain on Sunday (Feb. 29) as he was taking a walk, Finland's Sonera Plaza is reporting. According to STRATOVARIUS keyboardist Jens Johansson, who witnessed the attack, the alleged attacker was extremely agitated and had "a Hispanic looking appearance". During the assault, the attacker shouted "Tolkki." He was armed with what seemed to be a box cutter.Tolkki was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was admitted to emergency care. He had two stab wounds on his left arm and a facial contusion. His wounds were cleaned and bandaged and he was released from hospital care. Anybody with any information about the attacker is being asked to contact the police. Tolkki commented that he is "shocked and horrified" by what happened. "Apparently this guy had been stalking me. The bastard attacked me from behind," Tolkki said. "I can take anything, but that was such a cowardly act, you know. He got me with the knife twice and punched me in the face. Then he ran away. The whole thing lasted just seconds. Now I am thinking that this might be the end of my career. I do not want to end up like John Lennon. I don't know if I want to continue STRATOVARIUS anymore". When asked if he thinks that the attack has something to do with the resent changes in STRATOVARIUS lineup and the death threats he has received, Tolkki commented: "Of course I feel there is a connection to that. Why would anybody attack me like that otherwise? What possible other motive this guy could have had than that? I think he tried to kill me, but this time I was lucky". STRATOVARIUS performed on Saturday night as a headliner of Piorno Rock Festival in Granada, Spain. Two photos of Timo Tolkki taken on Sunday after he was treated for his wounds can be viewed here.

Battlelines drawn, teams gear up for showdown
There has been plenty of spin in the build-up to the India-England series, much before the first delivery is supposed to hit the deck, hiss, turn and jump to confound the visiting batsmen. Firoz Mirza reports. Storm before landfallindia Updated: Nov 13, 2012 01:58 IST
There has been plenty of spin in the build-up to the India-England series, much before the first delivery is supposed to hit the deck, hiss, turn and jump to confound the visiting batsmen.
The biggest anticipation is whether India's spinners will deliver the goods, starting with the first Test on Thursday. In India, there is more anxiety that the team should avenge the 0-4 rout suffered in England last year.As the teams gear up, much has been said by both sides with spin the focus, promising plenty of rivalry, bordering on hostility. England skipper Alastair Cook has blamed Indian cricket authorities of leaving instructions with the three teams they faced in the warm-up games, to ensure their batsmen did not get much practice against spin.
MS Dhoni had set the tone, asking for turning tracks to drive home the advantage with his teammates Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin — the man expected to be the prime mover behind India's bid for a clean sweep — all backing their skipper.
Countering KP
On Monday, left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha touched on a topic that can well set the tone for the series, looking to exploit Kevin Pietersen's known weakness against left-arm spinners. The batsman has toured India and done well in all forms of the game, but is sure to be reminded by the fielders of his weakness.
However, KP recently said he had requested Rahul Dravid to help him out and the India batting great gave him elaborate tips on how to negate left-arm spinners. The batsman pointed out his record against left-arm spinners has improved since then.
There has been plenty of open rivalry when India have faced Australia in recent years but the spin factor has left both teams looking to prove a point.
Ojha acknowledged: "It is an advantage KP has some weakness against left-arm spinners."
He added: "It's not written that he can't play left-arm spinners. I can't take it easy. At the end of the day, I have to take his wicket, only then can I say anything. For now, it is not in my mind. To get his wicket, I know I have to work really hard."
Ojha declared he and Ashwin were ready for English batsmen.
"They are good but when you bowl in the nets to players like Sachin and Sehwag and beat them, it boosts your confidence. No doubt, the English are good players but they are not better than our batsmen. That's why I give 100 percent in the nets."
Geared up
After the final warm-up game also ended in a draw, Cook said: "We would have liked to have faced more spin… I don't know who it has come from but clearly there's been a message of some sort."
James Anderson, in a column, was clear. "There has been much talk that this may be Tendulkar's last Test series… There is no question in my mind that he has been one of the best batsmen — if not the best — for 20-odd years. But we've to make sure we do not treat him with too much respect."
Not exactly in your face, but the battlelines have been drawn.

Good Points
100% reliable (2 months continous use thus far).
Bad Points
Fan always running.
General Comments
I needed a notebook that could replicate my desktop environment when I am away from home. The Advent 4401 does this with the only compromise being the small screen and no numerical keypad. I have now used the 4401 for a couple of months and it has been 100% reliable. The earlier comment about fan noise seems to apply only if you use the 4401 in hot conditions where the fan does indeed run fast and loud. However, under the conditions I have used it (21-23 degrees C) the fan slows down to be much quieter.

SURE program ends Sept. 30 for losses incurred in 2011 summer disasters
Hubbard-Wadena County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director CED Mike Stevens, announced that legislative authority for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program ends on Sept.30.
Producers must meet specific eligibility requirements to receive SURE assistance for disasters that occur on or before September 30, 2011.
"The SURE program compensates producers for production and/or quality losses during times of disaster," said Stevens.
Producers can apply for a 2011 SURE payment if a crop of economic significance located in a primary or contiguous disaster county under a Secretarial Disaster Designation suffered at least a 10 percent loss because of disaster occurring on or before Sept. 30.
Crops are not required to be harvested on or before Sept. 30 to maintain SURE eligibility. A loss claim will only trigger after FSA determines that the loss was because of disaster occurring on or before September 30, 2011. Losses that result from disasters that occur after Sept. 30 will not be eligible for SURE benefits.
Producers with 2011 crops that suffer losses caused by disasters that occur on or before September 30, 2011, must also meet the following criteria:
n For insured crops, the insurance policy defines the coverage period as beginning on or before Sept. 30;
n For Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) crops, the coverage period begins on or before Sept. 30;
n The final planting date according to RMA and FSA (NAP crops only) occur on or before Sept. 30.
The sign-up period for 2011 SURE will not begin until after the national average market prices are determined for each respective crop year, which is normally one year after the applicable crop year. For questions regarding the SURE program, please contact the Hubbard County FSA office at 732-9723 or the Wadena County FSA office at (218) 631-2876 x2.

Last orders: Time called on one in five of Northern Ireland's bars in three years
Dramatic litany of closures in one year highlights slump
Time has been called on almost one in five of Northern Ireland's pubs in just three years as a result of the economic downturn, it can be revealed.
Hundreds of bars have closed amid unprecedented trading difficulties, with the licensing industry fearing an acceleration in the casualty rate.
Indeed, for many public houses across the province, experts have predicted that this Christmas really could be their last chance of survival.
As the failure rate of bars here is now running at a frightening three per week, the message from publicans is simple: "Don't sit at home, get out and enjoy some yule-tide cheer in your local pub during the festive period."
Their rallying call comes after the latest industry figures revealed that the economic downturn claimed 174 pubs across the province in 2012, while a worrying 237 have shut since 2009.
Colin Neill, chief executive of Pubs of Ulster, the professional body that oversees the local retail licensed trade, said it had been a tough year.
"We'd be foolish to say it hasn't been challenging for the industry; it has, and we've lost a lot of pubs," he said.
"There are still challenges ahead, but we're starting to see positive signs across the province.
"People need to come out and support their local pubs if they want them to stay in business."
The leisure industry in Belfast has been badly hit over the last 12 months as a result of ongoing protests – sometimes violent – following a decision to restrict the flying of the Union flag at City Hall.
However, publicans in rural towns and villages have had their own issues, as consumers cut back on their luxury spending in order to make ends meet.
In Ballymena, for example, four pubs – The Imperial, The Moat Bar, The Ballee Arms and The Inn – served last orders to their clientele.
Stephen Reynolds, who owns The Front Page bar in the Co Antrim town, said: "There were 34 bars here when I started out 23 years ago and that's now down to 17, which is indicative of the pressures we're under.
"Publicans not only have rent and rates to contend with, there's an added problem with supermarkets selling beer and spirits cheaper as retail products than we can buy if from wholesellers."
In 2007, there were 1,481 premises with liquor licences in Northern Ireland, according to figures from Pubs of Ulster, compared to 1,252 in 2012 – and 174 pub closures last year alone.
Sunflower blooms in tough times
Belfast publican Pedro Donald opened the Sunflower pub on Union Street, close to Belfast city centre, one year ago this week.
He admitted that he has had his fair share of problems this year, but was confident that the tide of economic despair had definitely turned.
"Business is good but it hasn't been an easy ride," said Pedro, who has worked in the pub industry for almost 30 years.
"When we first opened there was the heavy snow which left us without electricity for a weekend and then we had the flag protests.
"One of our windows was also broken in an attack during a riot on Royal Avenue in August. But apart from that, we've been doing well."
He added: "As long as people support their local pubs they will survive; if they don't, it will make a difficult situation even more difficult."
The good news is that those in the pub industry believe that things are looking up.
Indeed, last weekend bars saw a boost in numbers during Small Business Saturday which brought tens of thousands of people into Belfast. And, earlier this week, the Orange Order cancelled a protest parade in the city centre that would have dissuaded people from coming in. Publicans in rural towns have also reported a surge in numbers, with people starting to believe the recession is coming to an end.
Consumers are once again going out at the weekend, according to Pedro, although they are demanding more from venues.
"People will go to the pub is there's a reason to go there, whether that's a quiz, or for music or an open mic session," he said.
"Hopefully we're starting to see a return of the good times now that the economy appears to be picking up a bit.
"It might be the last Christmas for some unlucky publicans, but it definitely won't be for me."

Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) today announced the full industry programme line-up
Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) today announced the full industry programme line-up to take place over 9 days during the Festival. Key industry players will take part in discussions focusing on all areas of the filmmaking process, predominantly hosted at EIFF's new delegate centre venue at the Traverse Theatre. An additional In-Person onstage career interview was also announced with Academy Award® winning cinematographer Chris Menges.
The strong presence of first feature films at this year's EIFF will be reflected in case studies on first features SHELL and Microwave's BORROWED TIME, as well as a focus on moving from first to second features with speakers including Sarah Gavron (BRICK LANE) and Nick Whitfield (SKELETONS) in First Feature and Beyond.
The Danish Film Institute, in partnership with the EIFF Industry team, will discuss a number of Danish documentaries featured in the EIFF programme. Producers Peter Engel (THE AMBASSADOR) and Helle Faber (AU PAIR; PUTIN'S KISS) will examine the Danish documentary landscape and their successful co-producing experiences in the Danish Documentary Focus.
Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey returns to the series of conversations he has hosted in recent years with colleagues working in the field of cinematography. 2012 will see an In-Person with Chris Menges (EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE; THE READER and NOTES ON A SCANDAL), the multiple award winning director of photography and two-time Oscar® winner (THE MISSION and THE KILLING FIELDS) who will discuss his remarkable career onstage with Seamus.
Industry Events involving filmmakers with premieres at EIFF include James Marsh and Tom Bradby (SHADOW DANCER) who will discuss the writer/director relationship; and Peter Strickland (BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO) talking about the use of sound design and music to enhance audience's cinematic experience (the film's original soundtrack by Broadcast will be released on Warp Records).
Director Mark Cousins (WHAT IS THIS FILM CALLED LOVE?) will discuss the thoughts and emotions evoked by certain imagery in A Thousand Pictures to the Eye: Images, Emotions, and the Movies, while Khavn De La Cruz (PHILIPPINE NEW WAVE: THIS IS NOT A FILM MOVEMENT) examines the Philippine cinema and art scene.
The BFI, Creative England and Film London are also partnering with EIFF on events during the Festival. The BFI will be running a Meet The Funders Panel with representatives from Creative England, Creative Scotland, Film Agency for Wales, Screen Yorkshire and others, advising on the funds they offer and what they look for in projects and talents. The BFI are also hosting the BFI Film Fund Short Filmmakers Breakfast, an opportunity for attending filmmakers to access key personnel from the BFI and other funding organisations face to face. Creative England's panel event Small Budgets, Big Talents will reflect upon how some of the brightest new filmmakers in recent years have kick started their careers with low budget films.
Film London is supporting a case study of Microwave feature BORROWED TIME with writer/director Jules Bishop and producer Olivier Kaempfer in attendance. They will also be hosting Low Budget on Trial to debate various topics affecting emerging filmmakers today. Film Export UK, together with Film London and with support from Creative Skillset, will present Market Place Live, an unmissable opportunity to introduce new filmmakers to the concept of the Independent Film Value Chain. Creative Scotland will be supporting daily networking events with a wide selection of partners including BAFTA, Scottish Locations Network, ScreenHi, Scottish Documentary Institute, Playwrights' Studio, Birds Eye View and Women in Film and Television.
As previously announced, EIFF will be running four Talent Development initiatives throughout the Festival:
In addition, EIFF are partnering with Savalas, one of the UK's leading sound post-production facilities, to offer a new Sound Lab for Emerging Sound Designers, a truly unique opportunity for participants to fully understand feature film sound from beginning to end. The emphasis will be on the creative practice of film sound design, demonstrated with hands-on experience in a film production house.
EIFF Talent Lab offers the opportunity for thirty emerging directors, producers and screenwriters to be inspired and mentored by established professionals in their chosen fields. Taking place through a series of workshops, roundtables, and individually tailored career and development advice sessions over a 4-day programme, the initiative is supported through the Scottish Government's Edinburgh Festivals Expo Fund and by Creative Scotland.

Why not take a tour of the Rhine Valley castles?
After customs, go to the Regionalbahnhof station at the airport, get a ticket to Mainz (3.90€) and hop on a train (maybe the 22:37; you'll arrive in Mainz 21 min's later.) Sleep at the Königshof across from the station or at one of several other hotels. In the a.m., rise early and board a train to St. Goar to tour the Rhine Valley (the 7:51 pulls into St. Goar at 8:37 after a change of train in Oberwesel.) The train will hug the river the entire way between Bingen and St. Goar, the most scenic part, passing more than a dozen medieval castles and castle ruins. Walk up to Rheinfels Castle - it opens at 9:00, the museum at 10:00. Have a quick bite at the terrace-restaurant at the Schloss Rheinfels hotel, the "Burgschänke "Der Landgraf", next to the castle.
http://www.schloss-rheinfels.de/kulinarik/burgschaenken-restaurant-der-landgraf/ (click on photo.)
Return to the station for the 11:20 train south, change in Oberwesel again, and arrive back at FRA at 12:34.

You could stay in Mainz overnight (trains go direct from the airport and take around half an hour; there are decent hotels right by the station if you look at www.hotels.de ; nice wine tasting opportunities in the Altstadt ) and the next day either just see the Altstadt in Mainz, or get ambitious and leave the bags at the hotel, and then take a train up the Rhein. Mainz to Rüdesheim is under an hour each way, or you could go up to Bacharach in as little as 37 minutes.

Thanks for the replies! Appreciated, I've got some direction to start researching.

You'll only have a few hours on the Sunday morning, really, won't you.
Frankfurt has some worth in its own right - we recently spent two days there before flying back to Australia. On the morning of the last day, we walked through the city and its pedestrian shopping street, the "Zeil", to the zoo and spent an enjoyable few hours there. It's not a big zoo, but was very pleasant with some interesting animals, gardens in autumn array and small children being pulled around in trolleys.
The riverside walk along both sides of the Main is lovely, with pollarded tree and views over the city. Across the river is the Sachsenhausen area, with lots of cafes in the quaint back street and museums along the river. You could get a taxi there for a late supper, perhaps, and a look around.
I would choose a hotel near the railway station, have a good sleep and walk into the city on the Sunday morning, coming back along the river. Look at a map - it's easily doable. There's a lovely city square, the Roemer, and from there, not far to the Zeil.
The area around the railway station is a bit sleazy, but I didn't feel unsafe, and the convenience made up for it. We stayed at the Ambassador, (now becoming part of the Accor chain)in a bright cheery room, and a good breakfast included, nothing fancy but OK for a night or two, and only a block from the railway station, though getting across the road is a bit tricky. It's in Mosel Str.

In June, you will have daylight hours until quite late, almost 23:00. I am sure there will be some kind of fest going on in Frankfurt in June, there always is. If not, a stroll along the Fressgasse near the Alte Oper is nice in the evenings. That and walking along the river can be really beautiful at dusk and at night, with all the lights, and people sitting out on the riverbanks.
There are a ton of hotels to choose from, though the Mosel str. wouldn't be my top choice. In June, you might want one with A/C, so perhaps the Ibis City Center, or the Adina, though it depends on your budget. I don't think I would stay out at the airport. Unless you are at the Sheraton, it takes longer to get to your hotel than it would to take the S-bahn into the city. The main train station is only 11 min. away and a train comes by every 15 min.
For things you could see on a Sat. night or early Sun. morning:
* The Kaiserdom - this is the Imperial church where the German emperors were elected and crowned (get there early to hear the organ for services.)
* The Jewish Holocaust Memorial Wall with the names of over 12,000 Frankfurt Jewish citizens who died during the Holocaust. This wall surrounds the large, medieval Jewish cemetery.
* Alte Oper, built in 1881
* Eschenheimer Turm, original guard tower built in 1425
* The Römerberg, has the cityhall - Römer, the book-burning memorial, Alte Nikolai - built in 1290 (listen to the 47 bell carillon at 09:05)

A few months ago I would probably have encouraged you to go to a small village along the Rhine, but after my recent trip and having stayed my last night in Frankfurt before flying home, I think the last suggestion is the best. I love the small Rhine villages, but was pleasantly surprised at how nice Frankfurt was. I stayed in a hotel right across from the train station and walked down to the Main River. It was really nice, felt safe (I was traveling alone) and very enjoyable. It is often preferable to travel less and enjoy the place you are even more. I think trying to go out some village on the Rhine (as much as I just love them) after arriving at 9:30 p.m. and going through customs, getting luggage, finding a train, getting to the next village, checking into a hotel, just to get up the next morning to try to do some sightseeing for a couple of hours before heading back to the airport in time for your flight, just wouldn't be worth it IMHO. Relax and enjoy Frankfurt.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I was starting to wonder what to do since so many sights focus on every city other than Frankfurt. I think the best bet for us is staying in the city as I might be a bit leary leaving town with a 2pm flight. I'm leaning towards a hotel in the Romerberg area and wander out on foot a bit depending on time, possibly the Holocaust memorial as well.

well I am in Frankfurt right now and I thorougly enjoyed my day, rain and all - the Christmas market was interesting, the walking easy, heard a Xmas choir in front of the Opera building - all good

Born in Atlantic coast (Vendée – France) in 1973 – a place bathed in huge spaces where the sea is the one and only horizon… Impassioned by graphic arts and computer graphics, Thierry Gentil, alias Bosniak has been spending his spare time creating computerized artwork using digital technology. Digital photography has gradually become the mainstay of his artwork. He has been deeply influenced by 'Ecole de Design Nantes Atlantique' so his approach is definitely graphic, perfectionist and as light as air. The will to create a special atmosphere through radical choices is his signature: perfection of lines, perspectives and colours, dramatic surroundings and textures overlay… these are the ways in which he experiments with audacity, and always with a chosen touch of concept.

Ex-SEAL Kurt Bolen was planning only a quick visit to his hometown until gorgeous Maddie Bennett, a blast from his past, hit him with shocking news.
Maddie had worshipped Kurt since high school. She had no regrets about their one night together because it left her with a precious gift--their son. And yet, she had no doubt Kurt would leave her again. As father and son started to bond, they were all threatened by an unexpected danger--someone thought they knew too much. Though uncertain about their future, would Maddie realize just how far Kurt would go to protect those he loved...?

Just as well I'm typing this straight into our computerised text management system, because otherwise you probably wouldn't be able to read a word.
My handwriting, you see, has finally gone for a burton. Where once I could write screeds in proud and faultless Italics, the system we were taught at our Paisley primary school using an Ozmiroid fountain pen and ink, now all I can manage is a scrawl punctuated with scratched-out mistakes. As a result, writing greetings cards is now a task I dread, for they make me look like someone I'm not.
I could pretend it's because of a recent serious finger injury on my writing hand, but I'd be lying. No; the reason for the inexorable decline is because, like millions of others, I simply don't write much in longhand any more. Using shorthand for speed while working, a habit that has spread to personal telephone messages and shopping lists, doesn't help. Taking the time to perfectly formulate a squared-off "a" and an artfully hooked "h" just takes too long. And desktop and laptop computer keyboards engage only the brain, the fingertips and the eye, bypassing the need for a pen altogether.

The worst offender, of course, is phone texting, where all that's required to communicate is a pair of thumbs. How evolved is that?
At least I could, if required, brush up my handwriting. Not so the current generation of schoolkids. According to Glasgow University's education department, markers of this summer's Higher English exam commented – and not for the first time – on the poor handwriting of some candidates. This must make it very difficult for them to see beyond the words and into the thought process behind them.
If intelligent self-expression is proving too difficult without the use of computers, I wonder how we'll communicate when the lights finally go out.

ConvaTec, a world-leading developer and marketer of innovative medical technologies for community and hospital care, today announced in vitro study results showing that a wound dressing containing ionic silver is able to kill several strains of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), commonly referred to as 'superbugs.' The study results were published in the August issue of the International Wound Journal.
In the in vitro study, four models designed to simulate stringent clinical conditions were used to investigate the antimicrobial efficacy of AQUACEL™ Ag dressing. The simulated wound fluid (SWF) model was used to measure sustained antimicrobial activity over time. The simulated colonized shallow wound (SCSW) model was designed to investigate the effect of dressing conformability on activity of AQUACEL™ Ag dressing. The simulated colonized wound surface (SCWS) model was used to investigate the antimicrobial activity of the AQUACEL™ Ag dressing against a variety of MDROs seeded into agar directly beneath the dressing. The biofilm model (poloxamer) was used to assess the antimicrobial activity of the AQUACEL™ Ag dressing when each of the MDROs was expressing a biofilm phenotype. Non-silver AQUACEL™ dressing was used as a control where appropriate.
Multidrug-resistant organisms tested included Acinetobacter baumannii, community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. Clostridium difficile was also included because it demonstrates many of the characteristics seen in MDROs and has evidence of emerging resistance.
Throughout all test methods, AQUACEL™ Ag dressing was shown to have consistent antimicrobial activity against a variety of MDROs. The authors concluded that in vitro antimicrobial efficacy of AQUACEL™ Ag dressing against a variety of MDROs could indicate a potential clinical benefit to preventing or controlling endogenous wound infections where antibiotic options are limited and tolerated by biofilm phenotypes. They further concluded that it may also act as an antimicrobial barrier to prevent the spread of such pathogens into the wider community.

ST. PAUL -- It was a perfect example of taking a message to heart.
Before Daniel Briere claimed MVP honours on the ice at the NHL All-Star Game, the Buffalo Sabres centre sat in on an off-ice meeting in Dallas during which a different sort of strategy was discussed.
Marketing: A great topic for the mid-week event that some folks in Big D weren't even aware was taking place.
And judging from some negative early fan reaction over the yawn-worthy YoungStars game and disappointing skills competition, the players' marketing committee can't convince the league to implement new ideas quickly enough.
"I know the YoungStars was disappointing for a lot of people," said Calgary Flames d-man Andrew Ference, who along with St. Louis Blues forward Jamal Myers has attended every meeting since the group was formed post-lockout. "The effort was deemed unacceptable and could kill the project. There's other things that could fill that void."
One idea Ference offers is a prospects game featuring the guys fighting for NHL jobs with farm teams. He suggests it would be more competitive and give the kids a taste of the big stage.
"Fans can see guys that aren't concerned about getting hurt or going to the big party the night before. That can be fixed, I think."
As for the main event, Ference says there are plenty of positives but fans need to limit their expectations.
"People are going to be disappointed for eternity if they think it's going to be a hard-fought contest where guys are trying their hardest. It's just not going to happen with the potential for injuries. It's not feasible," said Ference.

If there was ever any question whether New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine thinks his Republican opponent was overweight, there isn't anymore.
A reporter from Press of Atlantic City asked Corzine if he considered Chris Christie to be fat, during an editorial board meeting captured on video.
"Excuse me?" Corzine asked, snapping his head towards the brazen questioner.
"Do you think Chris Christie is fat?" the reporter repeated, point blank.
The governor patted his pate and asked, "Am I bald?" without missing a beat -- eliciting lots of laughs from other reporters.
The question stems from a Corzine advertisement that alleges Christie has gotten away with a number of violations, like going the wrong way down a one way street and failing to pay taxes, by "throwing his weight around."
His weight, of course, being the phrase in question.
Corzine insists that the advertisement refers to Christie's position as U.S. Attorney, although the second interpretation of this double entendre is pretty obvious.
"I don't think we're using it in that context," Corzine said at the editorial meeting. "I don't think that is anything other than identifying the fact that somebody was driving down a one way street, had an auto accident in which a person went to the hospital and somehow he did't come away with points or a ticket. That was the point of that ad."
If you say so gov.

Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012 | 9:01 a.m.
A coalition of minority business organizations, including the Black Business Council of Nevada, will meet in Victorville, Calif., next week, hoping to get a jump on construction jobs for the planned XpressWest high-speed rail project that would link Las Vegas with Victorville.
The High Speed Train Diversity Summit has been organized by Veterans Southwest Industries, the California Black Chamber of Commerce and Black Business Council of Nevada.
"We're working to organize people and businesses to be prepared to actively participate in high-speed rail," said Robert Gaines, president and CEO of Veterans Southwest Industries and chairman of the California Black Chamber of Commerce.
Gaines said he expects up to 400 people to attend the event Monday at the Hilton Garden Inn in Victorville.
Representatives of black chambers of commerce in the Antelope Valley, San Fernando Valley, Victor Valley and Los Angeles have been invited to attend, as has the National Association of Minority Contractors of Southern California.
Gaines said several state lawmakers from California and the governors of California and Nevada have been invited to attend.
Among the planned speakers are Robert Lang, director of Brookings Mountain West at UNLV, California Public Utilities Commissioner Timothy Simon and Roger Campos, president and CEO of the Minority Business Round Table.
The XpressWest project is a $7 billion dual-track high-speed train line between Victorville and Las Vegas with trains capable of traveling 150 mph. The company has completed its environmental reviews and is awaiting approval of a federal loan request through the Federal Railroad Administration.
The project got a boost earlier this year when the company announced it is collaborating with the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority to link Victorville with the planned California High-Speed Rail Authority line at Palmdale, Calif., and engineer a high-speed operation to downtown Los Angeles.
XpressWest officials say it is premature to consider job contracts on the project until the FRA acts on the loan.

Journalists checked up on the Canadian lil one and her "Abstract Expressionist-influenced" studio and there was no sign of child abuse. Guess she could be an art prodigy, if being art prodigy is flitting around in a tutu sprinkling glitter over canvas in slow motion. She's adorable. Admit it.
"I love painting. I'm going to paint for 24 hours," she says. Adorabababababable.
But has the star already began set on her precocious art career? Her work was previously selling for up to $30,000 a pop. Now, her pieces are priced at $4,600 to $12,900. They only want you when you're two, when you're five you're no fun? Sigh.
