According to reports from Pennsylvania, the PA Board of Game Commissioners last week voted to issue 888,000 antlerless deer permits for the 2012-13 hunting season. That's down from last year's allocation of 913,000.
Tags were cut in nine wildlife management units, increased in seven and kept the same in six.
Lancaster Online reported this year's allocations for each unit are based on a series of factors calculated by the Game Commission's deer management team.
For starters, a statewide survey of residents of all stripes — that is, not just hunters — shows residents believe the deer populations in the WMUs where they live is just right in every unit except WMUs 2F, 2G and 3A.
In those three WMUs, residents believe deer numbers are too low.
Deer populations are considered by biologists to be stable in every WMU except WMUs 2D, 2G, 3C and 4B.
There, biologists say, deer populations are increasing.

San Diego, Calif. – The No. 57 Santa Clara women's tennis team finished fourth at the WCC Tournament for the second consecutive year, after a 4-1 loss to St. Mary's College. The Broncos end their 2010-11 campaign 17-6 overall and 6-4 in the WCC.
The Santa Clara squad pushed the Gaels to third sets and tiebreakers, but other than Jessica Agra's victory at the No. 6 singles spots, St. Mary's proved to be too much for the squad.
"It was a tough match today," said Bronco head coach Ben Cabell. "We played St. Mary's closer than we've ever played them before, and we came up a little short but we are happy with the performance."
The Broncos tallied national rankings twice this season (No. 64 and 57), higher than any other standing in the program's history. "We are very proud of our ranking. The girls have earned this and deserve it. The ranking is a true recognition of all their hard work," said Cabell.

Clarence Oberg, 94 - June 10, 2009
Clarence John Oberg, 94, of Farnam died Tuesday, June 2, 2009, at the Gothenburg Memorial Hospital.
Services were held on Saturday, June 6, at the Farnam Nazarene Church with the Rev. Cliff Transmeier officiating. Burial with full military rites took place at the Farnam Cemetery.
Oberg was born July 20, 1914, to John and Antonia (Johnson) Oberg at Farnam.
He attended school at Orfino School, Sunflower College District 3 and Farnam High School, graduating in 1931.
Oberg lived his entire life in Frontier County with the exception of his time serving in the U.S. Army.
He served as a member of the 45th Squadron, a branch of the 645th Tank Destroyer Battalion. He was trained as a gunner for tanks and while in Rome fought inside St. Peter's Cathedral and was injured by a German grenade, carrying those fragments the rest of his life.
Oberg also took part in Operation Overload. His squad was one of the first to arrive in Normandy, where he was wounded again. After his release from the hospital, he was assigned as a medic.
He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star with Valor. He was honorably discharged and returned home shortly before the treaty was signed with Japan, ending the war. He returned to the United States on Aug. 29, 1945.
He worked as a farmer and rancher in Frontier County throughout his lifetime.
On Sept. 6, 1945, he married Ruby Chesbrough at Fitchburg, MA. To this union, five sons and one daughter were born.
Oberg was active in his community and was a member of the Nazarene Church of Farnam, serving as the Sunday school secretary for 60 years. He was also a member of the Farnam American Legion Post 288, Farnam VFW and the Lions Club. He also served on the school board at Sunflower College District 3, and managed the Farnam Coop.
He was preceded in death by: his father, John Oberg; his mother, Antonia Oberg; sisters—Ruby Ulrich and Gladys Sukraw; a brother, Lawrence Oberg; grandson, Chad Oberg; granddaughter, Allison Oberg.
Survivors include: his wife of 63 years, Ruby; sons—Edward (Laura) Oberg and Roger (Nancy) Oberg, all of Farnam, Don (Barbara) Oberg of Kearney, Richard (Karen) Oberg of Axtell, and Jeff (Dynette) Oberg of Arnold; a daughter, Louise (Dave) Jones of Colorado Springs, CO; sister, Lois Rice of Gothenburg; grandsons—Jeffrey Oberg, Bradley Oberg, Kevin Oberg, Chester Oberg, Michael Oberg, Matthew Jones, Christopher Jones, Timothy Jones and Peter Jones; granddaughters—Sara Oberg, Kristin Oberg, Rebecca Rabel and Antonia Oberg; eight great-grandchildren.
Memorials are suggested to the Farnam Nazarene Church Memorial Fund.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.blase strauser.com. Arrangements have been placed in the care of Blase-Strauser Memorial Chapel of Gothenburg.

UNION BEACH, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday the National Flood Insurance Program's handling of claims in New Jersey "has stunk," complaining that the program has been far too slow to get payments to victims of Superstorm Sandy, with tens of thousands of cases unresolved more than three months after the disaster.
The governor said excessive paperwork, inadequate staffing, cumbersome audits and the threat of financial penalties to carriers and adjusters is interfering with the timely issuance of payments, prolonging the suffering of many New Jersey residents hurt by Sandy.
"Our local insurance companies have been doing a great job of settling and moving these claims very quickly," Christie said. "The national flood insurance plan has stunk."
"I've been as patient as I'm going to be," the governor added. "They need to get more people into New Jersey, they need to get to work, they need to get to processing these things. People need to know how much money they're going to have."
At a briefing in hard-hit Union Beach, the governor said only 30 percent of Sandy flood claims had been settled in New Jersey.
But the Federal Emergency Management Agency said later Tuesday that the latest data shows 37,000 of 73,000 New Jersey claims, or a little more than 50 percent, have been closed.
Likewise, the agency said more than half of the total 140,000 Sandy flood claims made in all states have been settled, with $3.7 billion paid out to storm victims. In New York, it said 32,000 of 56,000 claims were closed.
"FEMA's top priority is to get resources to those in need as quickly as possible, while also meeting our requirements under the law. That's why we've given our private sector partners additional flexibility to quickly pay advance and partial payments, and reduced paperwork requirements so the process can move as quickly as possible," the agency said in a statement.
In New Jersey, Sandy damaged or destroyed about 346,000 housing units, resulting in estimated damage and future storm mitigation costs of $37 billion.
With Wednesday marking the 100th day since Sandy struck, the state and charities are still waiting for the federal settlements so they can determine how much to award in grants to help people rebuild, the Republican governor said.
Christie said he is asking New Jersey's congressional delegation to pressure FEMA to improve the performance of the flood insurance program, which he called "a disgrace."
"I'm not going to sit around and take it quietly any longer," he said. "We've gotten all kinds of assurances that haven't been met."
In comparison, the governor said 85 percent of homeowner claims had been settled, or closed, out of a total of more than 430,000 claims filed by homes and businesses.
He said "it is imperative that insurance claims be brought to final resolution so that residents can make critical decisions on if and how to rebuild."
While he was expressing frustration with the pace of claims settlements, Christie at the same time urged residents to stay patient.
"This is an unprecedented set of circumstances in the state of New Jersey, so we have to have patience with one another," he said. "I'd like to come here or to any of the other communities that have been affected and wave a magic wand, but I can't. It's going to take time, and it's going to take effort."
Christie administration officials set up a mobile office inside the local firehouse to assist residents who are having trouble getting answers from insurers or governments. There was no shortage of takers.
Eduardo Rocha, 42, who was walking with crutches as the result of injuries sustained in an auto accident, had come to ask FEMA how high he would have to raise his house — 2 feet — and to apply for a $30,000 grant to help defray the cost, which hadn't yet been estimated.
James Scott was clutching a handful of insurance settlement papers while standing in line on behalf of his 74-year-old mother, whose heavily flooded home had been taken down to its studs. Her flood insurance claim had been settled for $38,000 — $50,000 less than the estimated cost of rebuilding. The mother, Theresa Scott, was staying with another son in South Carolina until her own home could be repaired.
Christie also announced that the state Department of Banking and Insurance will start requiring private insurers to respond within five days to Sandy-related complaints filed with state. Insurance companies currently have 15 business days to respond to the department.
Associated Press Writer Geoff Mulvihill in Trenton contributed to this report.

Despite a threat of rain and a peaking navel orange harvest, growers in Tulare County, the nation's top citrus producer, could start a concerted spraying program in mid-December as they seek to eradicate a pest that could carry a deadly disease into their trees.
Officials with the California Department of Food and Agriculture told hundreds of growers who gathered in Tulare for an update on the pest that they will not face an immediate quarantine because of the discovery of a single Asian citrus psyllid in two different locations in Tulare County in November.
But they will have to use sprays in an 800 meter radius – about a half mile – of each of those finds in an effort to eradicate the pest. And there will be restrictions on movement of citrus in a five mile radius around each of the finds near Strathmore/Lindsay and Terra Bella.
(For more, see: California citrus growers schooling on Florida for coming HLB war)
The areas cover a total of about 163 square miles.
CDFA stopped short of a quarantine declaration, something that has been done in Southern California, because the Tulare County finds do not amount to an infestation.
But Robert Leavitt, CDFA's director of plant protection and plant health, made it clear that further finds – additional adults or other stages of the insect such as eggs or nymphs – could change that picture.
"If there are a lot of adults, nymphs or eggs or the presence of HLB (huanglongbing, the tree-killing disease the pest can carry), then we would go to a standard quarantine."
That could mean a 20 mile radius, he said, "by default, all of Tulare County."
Ted Batkin, president of the California Citrus Research Board, said before the meeting that drew 400 people, "We hope this is a far as we have to go."
Leavitt and others said the restricted and eradication zones could be in place for two years, but in six months their presence will be re-evaluated based on what is – or is not – found. The approach is being put into place, CDFA officials said, "Because there is a potential pathway for 'hitchhiking' ACP from Southern California quarantine areas along the Highway 65 corridor."
Organic marketing may take hit
Regulators said one effect of the required treatments in the eradication zone is a likely blow to marketing of organic citrus. Because organic treatments have proven ineffective on the pest, Leavitt said, conventional sprays would be needed.
That, he said, would mean that the sprayed crop could not sold as organic. But, he said, it would not mean loss of certification for future crops because the spraying is mandated.
While CDFA is paying for spraying of residential trees in the zones, growers must pick up the tab for treating commercially grown citrus.
Leavitt said the Tulare County agricultural commissioner can use "abatement authority" for groves where treatment is not occurring, basically ordering that it be done at the expense of the landowner.
Beth Grafton-Cardwell, a University of California authority on treatment for the pest, said it is important that treatment be coordinated, swift and complete "to knock down outbreaks." She said growers in Ventura County had to do additional spraying and faced other challenges because they "didn't get control" and sprayed at different times.
Grafton-Cardwell, UC integrated pest management specialist and research entomologist, said different materials should be used depending on the timing of sprays. That's because adults are most likely to be around in the winter, and the nymphs and eggs appear at other times.
A pyrethroid is recommended for the winter. It can also be used in the spring, followed by a soft insecticide. In summer, Grafton-Caldwell said, uptake of neonicotonoids is good and those should be combined with the pyrethroid.
Grafton-Caldwell also recommended sampling for the insect pest by using a white clipboard with a grid and knocking at branches of trees. She recommends sampling 10 trees on each of the borders of a grove and in 10 the middle. The psyllid prefers borders, she said.
She said it's not best to rely solely on yellow sticky traps. While research is under way to improve traps, the insect is more likely to be drawn to volatile organic compounds from foliage than to the yellow traps.
Grafton-Caldwell said sprays that combat the pest can be timed with sprays that target others including thrips, katydids, peelminer, leafminer and scale.
Brian Taylor, director of field operations for the California Citrus Research Board, explained that the board is seeking to amass contact information for growers, pest control applicators, pest control operators, packinghouses and field operators in the restricted zones. He asks that they contact [email protected].
HLB, the disease itself, has been found in only one tree in Hacienda Heights in Southern California. But it has been found elsewhere in places that include Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and South Carolina.
Also called citrus greening, the disease kills citrus trees and there is no cure. Diseased trees produce lopsided, bitter fruit and eventually die.
Field cleaning machines
Melinda Mochel, senior environmental scientist with CDFA, spelled out the regulations put in place in the restricted zones in Tulare County. She said bulk citrus with leaves and stems attached cannot be moved out of the restricted area.
One step in harvest may involve use of field cleaning machines, something that is done is Southern California's quarantine zones where equipment and personnel are brought into the grove to run fruit across belts and to use systems of brushes and rollers to make sure the citrus is free of leaves and stems.
There is no restriction on movement of bulk fruit within restricted areas, and commercially cleaned, graded and packed fruit or field-cleaned fruit can leave those areas. A "field cleaning verification form" would be required.
Mochel said growers in the restricted areas should be sure harvesting and transport equipment is kept clear of all stem and leaf debris.

Seven Arab countries sign an agreement in Dubai that will protect migrating marine animals.
Marine life is exposed to an increasing pressure as a result of overfishing around the world. The fishing of more than 70 million sharks per year worldwide is a sad fact that has led conservation parties to address the problem seriously and with great care. The controversial issue, is that most of these species are immigrant fish, which therefore renders the issue of conservation highly dependent on international cooperation.
In line with international efforts, the majority of countries in the world have agreed on the inclusion of seven key species of sharks and Manta on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) which aims at providing these species with a considerable degree of conservation through organized fishing and trade internationally.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has further developed the idea and undertook a series of workshops to build the capacity of stakeholders to implement local and international legislations relevant to the conservation of marine life and specially sharks. For that reason, the Ministry of Environment and Water in the UAE and the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) are holding a training workshop on "prevention of shark and other marine species trafficking" in Dubai starting Tomorrow.
During the week of the workshop IFAW and with the cooperation of CMS, an MOU ceremony aiming at protecting sharks in the middle east will take place allowing Arab Countries in the region to sign.

Retailers turn out for Fashion's Night OutBy KIMBERLEY HAAS
Union Leader Correspondent
September 17. 2017 6:06PM
PORTSMOUTH — A record number of retailers participated in the seventh annual Fashion's Night Out event organized by The Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth.
The Thursday evening event brought hundreds of people to downtown Portsmouth for shopping and a fashion show. At Popovers on the Square in Market Square, people posed for photographers in front of a backdrop designed for the event, according to organizers.
"We saw a record number of men and women dressed up for the evening, showing fashion and style. You could feel the excitement at Popovers as the crowd gathered for paparazzi pictures and to pick up maps listing all the participating shops and their special offerings. What a fun night!" said Valerie Rochon, who is the president of The Chamber Collaborative.
The owner of City Shoes, Cathy Reddington, said there was a special excitement in the air.
"There was so much buzz and energy around town," Reddington said.
Models from 11 local shops strutted their stuff wearing collections curated by local independent shop owners at the fashion show held at Portsmouth Gas Light on Market Street. Patrick Darrow Productions was in charge of narrating the runway show. Rick Dumont Images captured the runway excitement, according to organizers.
Entry fees from the show, totaling $760, were presented to Jennie Halstead, executive director of My Breast Cancer Support in Portsmouth, at the end of the evening.
Organizers said more than 230 people were at the nightcap party and fashion show.
"We had a great turnout and a full house. The Fashion Show was very successful," Kali Aselton of Portsmouth Gas Light said.

Andre Geim [...] won the Noble prize for physics for the work.
That truly sounds like a prize fit for a king. Does it have the same kudos as the Nobel prize, though?
Graphene-creating boffins have discovered a new purpose for the wonder material - a teeny-tiny distillery. A team led by one of the Nobel prize-winning scientists who first made the world's thinnest and strongest material have now found out that graphene can stop air and other gases, but it lets water right through. Naturally …
That truly sounds like a prize fit for a king. Does it have the same kudos as the Nobel prize, though?
There sorted for the after-awards party.
Firstly, baffled as to how it would let water through but not helium through, given the size difference at play (only thought coming to mind is dipole nature of water?), but if this membrane does just let water through, and not anything else commonly found in drinking water, water purificaion options are surely about to get a boost?
That said distillery option is also pretty intriguing - I believe home distilleries were made illegal for their potential to go 'boom' - a flame/heat/pressure chamber free solution should therefore become viable...??
Home distilling was made illegal because of the lucrative tax levied on spirits. The reason given might have been health and safety but money was always the prime mover.
I was under the impression that helium always leaked because it was small and would always find any faults or interstitial cavities. If the graphene layer is a perfect lattice then there are no gaps as proven by its ability to block helium. Water molecules must therefore be 'passed' through the graphene by some sort of active process like a molecular level machine or catalyst.
It's not clear to me how the layers are orientated bu it looks as though the graphene sheets are stacked "vertically" |||||| so that the water has to move along between the sheets. If these have hydrophilic groups and have dimensions that just allows water to move through the spaces then other materials may well have problems as there will be a strong tendency for water to fill the spaces and repel any other molecules. In this situation the water will behave quite differently to bulk water - it'll be more like a sloppy ice where every water molecule that evaporates from the low humidity end will need to be replaced from the high end to maintain the energetics.
Don't count on it. The government isn't likely to do that because they get a *lot* of tax revenues from the sale of spirits.
Sewage treatment also comes to mind.
When they say 'water' does it mean pure H2O or what?
Eg, if it takes an hour to get a litre of water through a square meter of graphene, then its not going to be practical for domestic water/sewage purification.
Where as home spirit purification probably isn't going to matter if you want to wait a week for your Smirnoff Red to turn into Blue.
Is this what they mean by micro-brewed?
A liter-per-hour-per-square-meter of graphene-mat surface actually could work quite nicely for personal or household water filtering. In areas where clean water is hard to come by, if the graphene material can be produced cheaply enough, you could build a decent home water distillation system out of that.
According to a couple of references I just checked, it looks like an adult in hot, arid conditions performing a mix of moderate and heavy exertion needs around 2-3 liters of water per day. I have no idea if that's at all reliable, but if it is, then a system producing 1 liter per hour could handle the drinking-water requirements of 8 adults. Even when we allow for cooking water and a ration of cleaning water, that looks reasonable for a household.
Similarly, it'd probably work nicely for applications like camping, since you should be able to fold the mat for transportation.
Presumably it'd do a similar trick with wine and other foodstuffs - Heston Blumenthal's gonna have a ball!
Love thissh kind of reshearsh. Love it. Bessht kind of shtuff. Really nishe. Really.
I wonder if it lets Na+ through?
there would be a huge market for potable water, for dry countries and for ships, hikers etc. At present they pump water through polythene, which takes a lot of effort and energy. sounds like it just pours through this wonder-stuff.
Could this be used as an alternative to other more energy-intensive desalination methods? If so, it could solve water shortage problems in many places (and the ensuing conflicts) almost overnight.
does not, to me, indicate that it pours or even drips. But letting only pure H2O through sounds like a good thing. Just remember that for drinking you then need to add a few minerals, but those are easy to carry with you in powder or tablet form.
Nice to see so many people thinking about how this can be used to benefit humanity, not just high boffinry. The trick will be to get the cost of manufacturing it low enough.
Drinking pure water generally isn't a problem; you can get enough of trace minerals through food, unless you're on an unusually restricted diet.
Not 100% sure about that. High purity deionized water even feels strange as it strips the salts and fats out of your skin. Never tried drinking any though.
I wonder if it also selectively allows H2O to pass, leaving the other side enriched in D2O? Put enough of them together and you could have a nice little heavy water plant.
I guess it well might. Even chemistry is different with deuterium. The rates of reactions are generally slower and drugs with a hydrogen replaced by deuterium at a point of metabolism are usually metabolised significantly more slowly.
They should get some up to the ISS, might mike the piss recycler work a bit better
I'm guessing it could desalt water. However, we already have pretty decent (and much cheaper) filters to do that. The problem is pushing the water with enough pressure to get usable volumes on the other side (and using a filter able to withstand the pressure; a test that graphene is likely to fail.)
"As well as being the thinnest and strongest material known....." Strength would not be a problem.
Bear Grylls is on the ISS?
So, this year's carbon nanotubes then...
No, wait, that's been 20 years away since the 1950s...
Graphene is the new carbon?
What!! Can it debug my junior Java programmer's code, he's struggling a bit
He's writing Java!
Try switching to C#, C, C++, hell I would even prefer VB!
What's so special about water that only it comes through?
as I vaguely recall from 30 years ago. You'd *think* it would be ionically bonded, but IIRC it's actually weakly covalent, which is why it has some odd properties which are essential to life (why do you think the first indication of life astrobiologists use is liquid water). Also remember the "anomalous expansion of water "as it cools through 4C ?
The BBC article explains things slightly more. Apparently water gets through because the gap betweeen layers exactly fits a single water molecule, whereas everything else is the wrong size.
That's not even the start of it. Water has a whole load of anomalous properties, due to various things, such as hydrogen bonding, its dihedral angle, dipole and the unbonded lone-pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom.
A good list of these is here:
Helium is atomic number 2, the second smallest element in existence besides Hydrogen at 1. It's atomic weight is a mere 4. And it's a noble gas, to boot, so it normally exists atomically. How can anything that allows water (which contains the much-larger oxygen atom--atomic number 8, weight 16) not allow helium. It can't be anything like a filter of sieve, since helium is smaller than water.
Gaps in the membrane are exactly "one water wide". There's NEVER any room for anything else. As soon as there's room for a fresh water molecule at a gap, it displaces anthing which might physically occupy the space. He (and everything else) gets left behind.
It's probably quantum too.
I thought they had a new way to distil graphene from unwanted vodka. Though I can appreciate that the actual discovery may be better.
What is this "unwanted vodka" substance? I have come up with several plans to help dispose of it in just the time it took to write this sentence.
So it only let the water through and not the ethanol, that is interesting (sorry never come across any He in my vodka, so for the sake if this article that is just not relevant). .
It's the He that make you light-headed
Given the shortage of helium this could prove quite useful if they can make it into containers
I need at least 95% proof!
When it comes to advanced scientific brewing techniques, one should be aiming for at least 300% proof. 307 Ale, my boys, 307 Ale...
Er, that's 300º proof, not 300% proof........
%age measurements of alcoholic beverages are the %age by volume of alcohol in them. Thus 300% a) isn't possible and b) would kill you if it were.
Degrees of proof orginally measured the effect when gunpowder is soaked in whatever it is. If the gunpowder just still burns, you have 100 degrees of proof (which is a shade under 60% by volume alcohol). 300 degrees would remove your eybrows when you lit the gunpowder (and is also impossible, being about 175% abv alcohol if my maths is correct).
Stereotypically, Yank "proof" differs from British "degrees of proof".
Beer is measured by Original Gravity and you should be aiming for about 1100 for something really lethal and yet still drinkable.
It's Friday and you presented the opportunity to look again at booze strength measures, what did you expect?
I am aware of this, thanks. However, I was coming to the end of my lunch break and didn't have time to find the proper symbol.
Also, please do follow my link. You sound like you might appreciate it.
there is either percentage by volume, or degrees proof (and old measure invovling gunpowder).
Why can't you have alcohol that's equivalent to 300º proof? with the right additives petrol can made to a 120 octane rating.
More boffinery required to investigate this
Can they line the envelope of helium balloons with this stuff? That would give you much longer lifetimes. You could put things like relay stations up in the stratosphere.
Except mine was more along the lines of "party balloons that never ever go down!!! yay!!"
El Reg's Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) project may have just got a lot easier.

Grounds near Parsons offer excellent opportunity; application deadline March 21
PARSONS — The 13,727-acre property formerly known as the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant is now owned in part by the Great Plains Development Authority, the U.S. Army, and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP). All three entities are working together to provide spring turkey hunting opportunities on the property, located 3 miles east of Parsons.
This spring, two hunts will be offered: an archery-only and youth shotgun hunt will take place April 7 through April 10, and a shotgun hunt will be held April 13 through April 17. Youth and archery hunters may apply for either hunt, but not both. Hunters may each harvest one bird.
Twenty hunters will be drawn for each hunt, and applicants are required to apply and hunt in pairs. Each pair of hunters will choose a designated tract to hunt based on drawing order. Each pair of hunters must have at least one partner 21 years or older.
Applicants must send their full name, drivers license number, social security number, birth date, address, phone number, and email address on a 3x5 index card in an envelope to KDWP, Turkey Hunt, 507 E 560th Ave, Pittsburg, KS 66762. Hunting pairs must submit information for both hunters on the same index card.
Applications must be postmarked March 21 or earlier. Only one application will be accepted per pair of hunters. The information provided will be used to conduct a mandatory background check for successfully drawn applicants. Incomplete or incorrect entries will not be accepted.
Hunters who were successful in the area's fall 2010 deer hunts are not eligible.
Successful applicants will be notified by mail or email by March 25. All participants must attend a safety/security briefing. Briefings will be held April 6 at 6 p.m. for the first hunt and April 12 at 6 p.m. for the second hunt. All hunt rules and questions will be addressed at that time.
Hunts may be cancelled at any time due to heightened security. For more information, phone 620-231-3173 or 620-421-7447.

Following the devastating earthquake on Haiti, relief organisations require rapid, reliable and meaningful information on the local situation, the state of the infrastructure and the extent of the damage for their deployment in the disaster zone. In this context, scientists from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) are giving important support by providing free access to maps of the crisis region based on satellite data. At the moment, the researchers are focusing particularly on Port-au-Prince, the capital of the Caribbean island state, which has been particularly badly affected.
The geographer and DLR scientist Dr Tobias Schneiderhan is coordinating the work of the Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (Zentrum für satellitengestützte Kriseninformation; ZKI) in the case of Haiti. ZKI is a part of DLR, under the umbrella of the German Remote Sensing Data Centre in Oberpfaffenhofen. On behalf of DLR, the centre belongs to the 'International Charter on Space and Major Disasters', an important initiative by space agencies in relation to natural disasters. Under the charter, ZKI makes available satellite data, particularly those from the TerraSAR-X satellite developed and operated by DLR, in crisis situations in Germany and worldwide, analyses satellite data and performs additional functions such as those of the coordinating project manager.
An overview for international relief organisations
"A short time after the earthquake, which occurred at 21:53 UTC (16:53 local time) on 12 January 2010, the United Nations triggered what is known as a 'Charter Call'," Dr Schneiderhan explains. In Germany, the Joint Information and Situation Centre then requests satellite-based maps, which are specially produced for such an event, from the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe; BBK). From here, the information is then passed on to, among others, relief organisations such as the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (Technisches Hilfwerk; THW) or the German Red Cross. The initial assessment of the situation supports rescue teams in their work, but also provides assistance in the search for suitable locations for the installation of water treatment plants or mobile hospitals. At a European level, the ZKI products are used by the 'Monitoring and Information Centre' (MIC) in Brussels.
"With the earthquake in Haiti, we have a very complex situation with extremely extensive damage and very many affected people," Dr Schneiderhan says. In order to give the national and international relief organisations an overview of the nature and quantity of the destroyed infrastructure, about 25 DLR scientists have worked many shifts in recent days to collect, process and analyse radar and optical data. "We must process high resolution raw data has quickly as possible and make it available in the form of generally comprehensible maps so that the relief workers in the disaster area know which roads are still usable, where houses are standing, where there are open areas such as large car parks or stadia which could, for example, be used for emergency relief facilities," DLR scientist Schneiderhan explains.
Before-and-after comparison maps
Late on Friday evening, DLR researchers added a current map with information about the state of the infrastructure after the disaster to a quick reference map giving an overview of the road network as well as important buildings and facilities such as the airport as they were before the earthquake. Alongside the overall view, users can also download sections of the complete map from the ZKI website showing individual tiles in detail.
ZKI is a service of DLR's German Remote Sensing Data Center. Its task is the rapid acquisition, processing and analysis of satellite data in the event of natural and environmental disasters, for humanitarian relief activities and for civil defence. The analysis is tailored to meet the specific requirements of national and international institutions as well as relief organisations.

I also reprocessed the file to try to improve it. Tried to get through to the mail section but every time I log in the fields just go blank again so until I can figure this out the fix will be posted at www.telusplanet.net/public/synthi for the next week or two so you can compare it with the original attempt. I will also try to mail you my email address if I can get that far. Cheers!

De-noised versions of Nothing Behind The Door, I Have Been Looking For You, Wear The Dead Man's Coat, and We Were Here First have been completed now and I will try to upload them via FTP tomorrow. The judgement calls between maintaining the original sound and yet reducing the severe audio damage have been nothing short of brutal. I love this series and don't want to compromise the integrity of the episodes but a lot of them are downright unlistenable the way they are. Will try to do more episodes soon. Terry.
Posted Jul 04, 2002 - 1:38 AM:
I got ambitious and uploaded them tonight instead of tomorrow although I didn't think I would be able to manage after ten beers. Compare the results closely with the originals and hopefully you'll find the results more listenable overall. We Were Here First was especially difficult. I kept going back to the original to see if the noise reduction software was causing some of the speed-ups, slow-downs, drop-outs and other anomalies but I kept finding they were there to begin with. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear but maybe you can make a denim purse. Thanks again for the raw material and the opportunity to do something with it, Paul. Terry.

Tycho/Release Notes/0.17
< Tycho | Release Notes
Revision as of 07:37, 14 March 2013 by Jan.sievers.sap.com (Talk | contribs) (→Improvements)
Tycho 0.17.0 is currently in development. This page shows a preview of features which will be available in the 0.17.0 milestone.
List of bug fixes and enhancements in 0.17.0
SNAPSHOT builds
To try the most recent snapshot build of 0.17.0, simply add the following snippet to your (parent) pom.xml, and set the property for the Tycho version (e.g. tycho-version) to 0.17.0-SNAPSHOT.
<pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>tycho-snapshots</id> <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories>
New and Noteworthy
- Source feature generation usability has been improved, docs updated accordingly:
- (BEHAVIORAL CHANGE) no longer rely on existence of magic folder sourceTemplateFeature/ when determining whether to generate a source feature
- Label, description, branding plugin and other attributes are now taken over from the original feature by default. See bugs 374349, 375165 and 378424 for details. It's recommended to rely on feature.properties to set name and other text values in the original feature; then you can easily customize/override the generated source feature values by creating a sourceTemplateFeature/feature.properties file if required
- JDT compiler as well as Equinox and p2 versions used by tycho have been updated to Kepler M6. Note that the new p2 version also brings an update of the underlying from apache httpclient library from version 3 to 4
- Documentation for the plugins from tycho-extras published
- (INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE) default execution environment has been fixed to J2SE-1.5, see Tycho/Execution Environments.
If after migrating to 0.17.0, you see p2 resolution errors for packages added to the JDK with version 1.6 or later, you need to explicitly configure the default execution environment.
- (INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE) Runtime of tycho-eclipserun-plugin is now resolved from explicitly configured p2 repositorie(s) only (see bug 395281 for details and migration guide)
- The mirror goal of tycho-p2-extras-plugin now allows to skip downloading pack200 artifacts and supports p2 query language. See Tycho/Additional Tools
- The tycho-compiler-plugin has a new compilerArgs parameter that allows to specify arbitrary compiler arguments (see bug 400307)
- It is now possible to specify multiple target files in target-platform-configuration. Note that these target files are resolved separately, i.e. they each need to resolve successfully when opened with the target editor in Eclipse. Also note that it is not possible to activate multiple target files in the Eclipse PDE (see bug 392652).
- The compilation bootclasspath can now be customized in toolchains.xml when using useJDK=BREE (bug 389856).
- add support for custom MANIFESTs in nested jars (bug 400901)
- unit tests can now run on pre-filled workspace data (bug 401288)
- p2 repository and proxy authentication now works with maven-encrypted passwords (bug 386910 and bug 394023)
- Root files: root.permissions now supports ant-style file wildcards (bug 361204)
- tycho-compiler-plugin:
- low-level configuration errors will now fail the build (bug 385613)
- annotation processor arguments (-Akey=value) are now supported
- tycho-versions-plugin will now also update versions of .product files in eclipse-repository projects
- (INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE) remove duplicated compiler invocation for eclipse-test-plugin (bug 383866)

To the Editor:
Have you noticed that liberal establishment spokesmen have been calling the Bush tax cuts "tax cuts for the rich" and almost unanimously opposing them. Now, when they are about to expire, the White House is saying that the expiration of the Bush tax cuts would cause family taxes to jump an additional $2,000. If the Bush tax cuts were merely "tax cuts for the rich," then how can their expiration hurt poor and middle-class families?
The truth is that the Bush tax cuts helped everyone, but they especially helped the poor and the middle class, according to data from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. To close the budget gap solely by taxing those with incomes more than $250,000, the tax rate would have to be more than 130 percent, an impossibility.
Trends under the current tax structure show that taxes are growing back to historic levels, but that spending is growing much more, predicted to reach more than 25 percent of Gross Domestic Product in less than 10 years. Revenue is not the problem in this country. Spending is.
That's why I'm so glad I'm going to be represented by Congressman Peter Roskam in the new 6th Congressional District. He understands that the real problem our country faces is Washington's out-of-control spending. He is an advocate of extending the Bush tax cuts, reforming the tax code to eliminate loopholes and make it fair for all, and for common-sense economic policies that will help jump-start our economy. Keep up the good work, Peter.

BOSTON — Chris Kelly was trying to explain how great Nathan Horton has been in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs when the Bruins center made an amazingly preposterous statement today at the TD Garden.
"Horty's been great. I said, 'if Florida ever got to Game 7s they were going to win because they had Horty.' He's been phenomenal for us and hopefully that will continue," said Kelly after he was among the handful of Bruins players that took the ice today with Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final looming Wednesday in Vancouver.
Of course, the Panthers haven't made the playoffs in more than a decade. The only Game 7 they've played recently is the seventh game of the regular season. But it does feel like any team with Nathan Horton in the lineup is going to win a do-or-die game, and he's going to score the game-winning goal.
According to multiple reports, Horton is the first player in NHL history to score two Game 7 game-winners in the same playoff season. Most recently, he followed up his overtime winner in Game 7 of the first round against Montreal with the only goal in Boston's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay in the last game of the Eastern Conference Final last Friday.
He still hasn't been able to put it all into perspective.
"Yeah I mean I really didn't know that was anything," Horton said about the record. "But I mean it's definitely special for me to be able to do that and help my team win. There's nothing like scoring in overtime or a game-winner to move on to the next round, and it's like I've said all along, it's definitely hard to describe how good of a feeling that feels."
Horton's failures in Florida were a two-way street. The team didn't play well and he didn't meet expectations. But the murmurs from inside and outside the game about his lack of passion for hockey have proved to be way off base and more a product of his skating in anonymity in the southern portion of the Sunshine State.
In addition to a 26-goal regular season, Horton has now scored eight more in 18 postseason contests. He's done it all, since January at least, with the type of physicality and emotion that proves he 180 degrees away from "passionless."
"I think it would motivate anyone," said Horton about the criticisms that preceded his arrival to Boston. "A lot of things were said. And just coming into here, I wanted to prove people wrong and to really show what I can do. There's been some tough times. It's not easy all the time. But the big thing is you just keep working at it and know that in the end it's going to pay off. I think that's all I've been trying to do."
Head coach Claude Julien has appreciated Horton's maturing this season.
"I think when I say he's grown as a player, he's brought that maturity level that you need in a player in order to be able to rely on him game in, game out. I think that's where I saw the big difference in Nathan, in that part of his game," said the coach. "And he was accused I guess, or criticized a lot for that in the past, and he hasn't disappointed us in regards to being the consistent player."
It wasn't that long ago, however, when Horton was going through one of those rough patches. He was on the verge of proving his critics right during a listless 20-game stretch that featured just one goal off his stick. Toward the end of that run, he started to show signs of life and the type of player he claimed to be in the aftermath of the trade from Florida.
"Even through that drought, I was getting opportunities to score," he recalled. "It just seemed like it didn't want to go in. That's how it is sometimes when you're a hockey player. You're not always going to score but you're going to do things to help your team win, even in the regular season."
Maybe the Bruins should be glad those pucks didn't go in in December and January. It could be a case of Horton having plenty of scores saved up for the biggest moments of the year, like Game 7s. They might not have Game 7s in Florida, but they've had them in Boston and Nathan Horton has made sure they've become a joyous part of the franchise's folklore.

20 things you may not know about Raonic, Bouchard
No Canadian has ever won a Grand Slam singles title.
On Wednesday, the nation's tennis stars – Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard — put themselves only two victories away from winning the grand daddy of them all: Wimbledon.
Then, Thursday morning, Bouchard punched her ticket to the final, defeating Simona Halep of Romania in straight sets. She will face Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic for the championship.
Bouchard is the first Canadian woman to reach a Slam singles final. The 20-year-old from Westmount, Que., also reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and French Open earlier this year, matching former Canadian pro Carling Bassett, who reached the final four of 1984 U.S. Open.
Bouchard is expected to at least match Bassett's mark for highest ranked player at No. 8 following play at the All England Club.
Meanwhile, Raonic will face Swiss legend Roger Federer in a semifinal showdown Friday.
This is the farthest the 23-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., has advanced at a Slam tournament. His best previous finish was a quarterfinals appearance at the French Open earlier this year.
He's the first Canadian man to compete in a Slam singles semifinal in the Open era. The last Canuck to appear in a major final four was Williams Johnston at the 1923 U.S. Open, and the last to do it at Wimbledon was Robert Powell in 1908.

Gov. Bob McDonnell's proposed cuts to adult services have local nonprofit organizations fearing that programs, such as meals delivered to homes and transportation, will be eliminated for lack of funding.
McDonnell proposes cutting $2.5 million over the next biennium from adult services funding through a budget amendment released on May 5. The cut was among a package of $43.9 million in amendments to the spending plan passed by the General Assembly in April. McDonnell said through a spokesman that he recognizes the good work being done by local nonprofits such as Peninsula Agency on Aging and Bay Aging on the Middle Peninsula.
The agencies' funding, like that for school divisions and other services, is based on formulas tied to the state population served by the organizations according to the U.S. census, said Jeff Caldwell, a McDonnell spokesman.
"Recent census numbers showed a smaller growth rate of Virginians in certain areas who are eligible for these types of services," Caldwell said. "In short, the formula's purpose is to shift a portion of the funding from areas with no or slow elderly population growth, and reallocate those funds to areas with higher growth rates.
Caldwell said McDonnell's budget amendment simply adjusts for and reflects the smaller population growth rate in some areas.
Bill Massey, chief executive officer of Peninsula Agency on Aging, said the cuts come at a time when nonprofits such as his are struggling to meet the needs in the communities they serve. The average age of the people Peninsula Agency on Aging serves is the late 70s, he said.
A typical day sees Meals on Wheels volunteers delivering 500 meals to Peninsula residents. McDonnell's cuts could affect that service and many others, Massey said.
The move to slash millions from the budget assisting older adults in need comes on the heels of the merger of the state's Department of Rehabilitative Services and Department of Aging, which Massey said he feared would diminish the importance and effect of services to elderly.
"This doesn't do anything to ameliorate my fears," Massey said.
On the Middle Peninsula, Kathy Vesley-Massey, president and chief executive officer of Bay Aging, said the four oldest counties in Virginia by median age are served by her organization. Vesley-Massey cited a May 1 letter from McDonnell that praised the work of organizations such as Bay Aging.
The organizations "assist older Virginians and their caregivers through services and supports that are critical to their independence and well being," according to the letter.
But by 2014, Bay Aging's state funds will have been cut in half — a drop of about $3 million over a four-year period — even as the ranks of senior citizens swell, Vesley-Massey said.
"These reductions will eliminate Adult Day Health services and reduce Meals on Wheels and senior transportation," Vesley-Massey said. "Federal dollars will also be lost with this reduction in state funds available for match."
The General Assembly will reconvene Monday to discuss McDonnell's amendments.

Sell, deputy staff director for the House Agriculture Committee, says he is looking at another project, one as time-consuming but just as important as helping put together the compromise that became the 2002 farm bill.
"One of the first things we need to do is work on our public relations," said Sell, a Lubbock, Texas native who spoke to representatives of the Southern Crop Production Association and Southern Seed Association during their annual lobbying visit to Washington.
"This is the first chance I've had to speak publicly since we completed the conference report, to give a 'post-mortem,'" he noted. "I want to review the farm bill process and talk about where we need to go in the future. That includes how best to help USDA implement the bill and to protect it, both tough questions."
Sell and other staff members who worked on the conference have had little time to think of anything but the farm bill. From their first meeting in mid-February until the compromise agreement was announced on April 26, staff members had only two days off, Good Friday and Easter.
"When we would leave at 10 or 11 o'clock, the staffs frequently would be there until 1 or 2 a.m.," said Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin during his closing statement in the Senate May 8.
The morning he spoke (on May 9), Sell said he had been reading clippings of newspaper editorials in the days leading up to the House and Senate votes. Newspapers from as far left as the New York Times to the conservative Wall Street Journal blasted the legislation.
"We have to tell the American people how important farmers are to the economy," said Sell. "The farm bill is not a welfare program – it's a way to help an industry that makes a significant contribution to their well-being. We haven't done a good job of educating the public on this."
Anyone who watched the Senate farm bill debate on May 7 and 8 could see what an arduous task that may be. "It really got ugly in the Senate yesterday," he said. "There were a lot of uninformed statements, many of them by Republicans, members of my party."
Because of the depressed conditions in agriculture, the farm bill's authors had to come up with new money for things like counter-cyclical payments and conservation programs. "Now, people will try to take that money back because of the budget pressures," he said. The rhetoric in the Senate yesterday and the negative editorials show the challenges we face in keeping the bill intact."
Sell said he expects more attempts to impose the Grassley-Dorgan payment limits on farmers. The anticipated savings of $1 billion make a tempting target for those who would like to put that money elsewhere.
"We must realize that this fight is far from over and put up defenses now to make sure we don't lose what farmers worked so hard to gain in this new farm bill."

Responding to the need for easy to install and easy to use surround sound systems, KEF conceived the KIT100. It was a combined DVD player, AV amplifier and sub-sat speaker package all in one. The key innovation, however, was the quasi surround effect created from just two speakers positioned at the front of the room, with no need for speakers and cables behind the listener.
The two satellite loudspeaker assemblies, positioned to the left and right of the screen, each comprised a front mounted 100mm (4") Uni-Q array, which reproduced the left, right and (phantom) centre channels as normal. Behind each Uni-Q, however, was an edge-on NXT flat-panel radiator, operating as a 'dipole', and radiating the surround channel information diffusely into the room so that it appeared to come from all around rather than directly from the speakers. This novel acoustical technique allows a convincing surround effect from loudspeakers at the front of the room only.
With a matching subwoofer and comprehensive AV processing and input/output facilities, this one-stop solution to home cinema has proved very popular in a growing sector of the market.
KIT200 was based on the same DVD head unit and subwoofer of the KIT100 but comprised a full 5.1 speaker system. The satellite speaker was the same as that from the KHT5005 system, and the subwoofer contained an extra amplifier channel to drive the dedicated centre speaker.

STATEWIDE - Hurricanes can also produce tornadoes that add to the storm's destructive power. Tornadoes are most likely to occur in the right-front quadrant of the hurricane. However, they are also often found elsewhere embedded in the rainbands, well away from the center of the hurricane.
Some hurricanes seem to produce no tornadoes, while others develop multiple ones. Studies have shown that more than half of the landfalling hurricanes produce at least one tornado; Hurricane Buelah (1967) spawned 141 according to one study. In general, tornadoes associated with hurricanes are less intense than those that occur in the Great Plains (see the Fujita Intensity Scale below). Nonetheless, the effects of tornadoes, added to the larger area of hurricane-force winds, can produce substantial damage.
The National Weather Service does not have an accurate way to predict exactly which storms will spawn tornadoes or where they will touch down. The new Doppler radar systems have greatly improved the forecaster's warning capability, but the technology usually provides lead times from only a few minutes up to about 30 minutes. Consequently, preparedness is critical.

Chisenhall to disabled list
The strained left calf that caused third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall to leave Saturday night's game against Pawtucket in the ninth inning put him on the 7-day disabled list today.
Chisenhall went from first to third on an eighth-inning single by Matt LaPorta. The burst around second apparently aggravated a pre-existing problem.
"He had been getting treatment for it and was able to play through it," Columbus manager Mike Sarbaugh said. "Going from first to third there and scoring on the sacrifice fly, it just caught up with him."
The team backdated the injury to the 29th. Andy LaRoche will play third base in Chisenhall's absence. Russ Canzler is the other option. He was on the International League's postseason all-start team in '11 at third base with Durham. Canzler has been playing first base and left field for the Clippers this season.
"That's where weare as an organization right now," Sarbaugh said. "We don't have as much depth as we did last year with (Luis) Valbuena, (Cord) Phelps and (Jason) Donald being able to move around the infield."
Donald is with the Indians this season. Valbuena is in triple-A with the Chicago Cubs.
In other injury news, Scott Barnes (left arm) threw a bullpen today and will be evaluated on Tuesday for the next step in his rehab. Barnes, a starter,is not on the DL, but hasn't pitched April 18 in Indianapolis.
"When he does come back, he's going to throw out of the bullpen," Sarbaugh said.
Chad Huffman was in the original Columbus lineup for tonight batting third as the designated hitter. He was scratched with astiff back. Beau Mills moved into the lineup as the DH. Ryan Spilborghs moved into the three spot. Mills is batting sixth.
