Photos: Police raid targets suspected Paris attackers
French police staged near an apartment building in Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris, during a raid targeting suspected terrorists linked to Friday's deadly attacks.
The raid began around 4 a.m. local time when police stormed the apartment where the suspected mastermind of last week's attacks was believed to be holed up.
French police worked to evacuate residents of Saint-Denis to safer areas during the standoff.
A French police officer directed residents away from the Saint-Denis raid, where a woman wearing an explosive suicide vest blew herself up as armed police stormed the apartment building.
A senior police official said he believed Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian Islamic State militant and suspected mastermind of Friday's Paris attacks, was inside the apartment with five other heavily armed people.
''They were shooting for an hour. Nonstop. There were grenades," said witness Amine Guizani.
Police were met with unexpectedly violent resistance as they stormed the building.
Sporadic bangs and explosions continued throughout the raid, and at 6:30 a.m. at least seven explosions shook the center of Saint-Denis.
Police vans and fire trucks rushed to the scene north of Paris during the raid. The site is just over 1 mile from the Stade de France, which was targeted by three suicide bombers during Friday's attacks.
A resident peered out a window after gun shots were heard as police stormed the apartment building.
Police forces worked to organize their assault on the building while residents of the area were told to stay inside.
Riot police worked to clear people from the surrounding streets, pointing guns at curious residents to move them off the roads.
Saint-Denis Mayor Didier Paillard said public transport was suspended and that schools in the center of town would not open Wednesday.
A police source said that four officers were injured during the raid, but no hostages were being held.
Emergency services workers were on the scene during the raid. "There was an hour of gunfire," said witness Baptiste Marie, a 26-year-old independent journalist who lives in the neighborhood.
French soldiers worked to secure the area after gunfire was exchanged with the suspected terrorists during the early-morning raid.

The Electric Company and Sesame Street Present: Military Families Near and Far
By Pam Hacker
On November 5th, Sesame Workshop launched a new collection of resources for military families at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. Families who attended the celebration on Nov. 5 were greeted by Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Commander, Colonel Carl R. Coffman, Office of the Secretary of Defense's Principal Director of Military Community and Family Policy, Charles Milam, Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury Director, Navy Captain Paul S. Hammer, and Sesame Workshop president and CEO, H. Melvin Ming. Families experienced interactive performances by Sesame Street and Electric Company characters, explored the Military Families Near and Far website and the free Feel Electric! mobile app; as well as participated in other family fun activities. In addition, families saw the debut of the new "Let It Out" music video, which further supports self-expression and feelings vocabulary.
The new initiative was created in cooperation with the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury. The goal of these resources are to extend the reach and effectiveness of the already existing program. This includes a bilingual website with information designed to connect families to one another and provide information to how to deal with the unique problems facing military families. In addition, Sesame Workshop is especially excited about FeelElectirc! a mobile app that encourages children to explore and express their emotions.
To date, Sesame Street's military families initiative has provided significant resources for military families with preschool children experiencing the effects of deployments, when a parent returns home changed because of a combat-related injury and coping with the death of a loved one. With the help of The Electric Company, this new phase expands efforts to reach elementary school kids, 6 to 9 years old, find the right words to express their emotions as they experience difficult military transitions.
"Sesame Street and The Electric Company are thrilled to introduce Military Families Near and Far, which expands our Military Families Initiative to elementary school children and their parents," said H. Melvin Ming, president and CEO of Sesame Workshop. "During this month of the military family, I can't think of a better way to renew our commitment to military families and to let them know we care and are here to help."

"In setting the stage for the Tomb Raider franchise moving forward, we took ourselves back to Lara's origins, asked ourselves the hard questions and challenged ourselves to think differently," said Chip Blundell, vice president of brand marketing, Eidos Inc. "Who is Lara Croft? What makes her tick? How is she relevant today? Only by answering these questions could we ensure that gamers get the experience they deserve with the character they love."
Eighteen months ago, Tomb Raider team members at Crystal Dynamics embarked on their own quest to rediscover Lara Croft. During their soul-searching mission, they unearthed past consumer surveys, conducted new research, re-read every game review, listened to lots of passionate pleas and opinions from gamers and re-played through every Tomb Raider product. From this introspection and open-minded search for a fresh perspective, Tomb Raider: Legend was born.
As a result, Eidos is evolving the brand while building on the original values of compelling character and suspense-filled adventure gameplay. Crystal Dynamics has brought together the biggest and most diverse development team in Tomb Raider history and recruited Lara Croft's original creator Toby Gard as the lead character designer.
"Even before the first title launched, Lara Croft had to fight her way into the Tomb Raider franchise, since at the time most game characters were muscle-bound blokes," said Gard. "The Lara Croft character is resilient and totally unstoppable. In Tomb Raider: Legend, we explore these core personality traits and reveal the Lara Croft gamers have been waiting to see."
Eidos and Crystal Dynamics shaped Lara's look and movements to be an inherent extension of her skills, motivation and personality. Lara's character model features natural structure, realistic textures, detailed facial features, reactive eyes and fluid motion, all of which make her part of a living environment.
New character animations and controls allow her to move through stunning environments with grace and precision, while an understanding of the game's original appeal reinvigorates the fundamental explore-and-solve adventure experience.
Tomb Raider: Legend is slated for release on the PlayStation2, PC and the Xbox.

Large Rio & Free Formula 198
I'm still sailing my Free Formula 198 and doing well on it in 10 - 20 knots. About the only problem I have is when I use it on light wind days with a 5.5 or 6.5 and work on old school free style. It's plenty stable but I cannot stay upwind in light air with a small sail on it.
I've been reading about the Rios and the Large is about the same size as my Free Formula but with a daggerboard. How do these 2 boards compare for stability both in light wind and when planing. I use my 5.5, 6.5, 8.0 and 10.0 Retros on the FF. Would the 10.0 work on the Rio too?
I would likely replace my FF with the Rio if I got it cause we don't have lots of storage space.

Hi Sam,
I can only comment on the new Rio M, but if the Rio L is the same, only a bit longer and wider (and heavier @ 14.6 Kg) it will make a pretty good replacement for your '02/'03 Free Formula 198.
Here's the specs on the FF 198 from the '02 website archive:
Volume 198 liters
Length 280 cm
Width 90.0 cm
Tail 66.3 cm
Weight (DRAM) 10.1 kg
Here's the specs. for the 2008 Rio L (Large):
Volume: 215 liters
Length: 290 cm
Width: 85.0 cm
Tail; 67.2 cm
Weight: 14.6
So, the new Rio L is a little longer, a little narrower, and 4 Kg. heavier.
I've sailed the '08 Rio M very powered up on a 6.6 m2 Sailworks NXslm race
sail and it was very similar to what I remember the early Free Formulas (GO shape
in a lighter DRAM construction) to be.
I also sailed the new Rio M a whole lot ( 3 days/5-6 hours/day) this past weekend at the Hatteras/Frisco Woods Windfest in light to very light winds with a 5.0 m2 Sailworks Retro Ripper 3 rig.
Had no problems staying upwind at all, even towing some "wayward" students back in from quite a ways offshore in pretty much offshore winds.
I think you'll find the new Rio L to be just what you need, even with the heavier weight.
The Rio's are all "Tufskin" construction, and very durable, hence the greater weight.
Hope this helps,
P.S. Since you are working on freestyle moves, I found the Rio M to be the easiest board I've ever sailed backwards. Frisco Woods being very shallow, I didn't want to drag the Rio out over all that shallow water.
Turn board around, beachstart normally, and presto...... I could sail out "fin first" in about 8" (20.3 cm) of water.
You are a bit heavier, but the Rio L is a bit floatier so I think you could sail in 8" of water as well.

Capital Press
BOISE, Idaho — The state's groundwater irrigators are banking on a wet winter and may face widespread future curtailment if it doesn't materialize.
Idaho Department of Water Resources Director Gary Spackman recently determined groundwater pumpers owe surface water irrigators 45,000 acre-feet of water to offset diminished Upper Snake Plain storage carryover due to their pumping.
Absent any replacement water, IDWR would send curtailment notifications to groundwater pumpers with a priority date after July 1, 1985.
For the first time, pumpers are utilizing an option to spread their mitigation burden over several years, rather than replacing all of the water at once. Annual obligations — 11,924 acre-feet in the first year, 9,022 acre-feet in the second year and 3,824 acre-feet in the third year — are based on the diminishing volume of water that would return to the Snake River each year through curtailment of junior pumpers.
Though IDWR modeled obligations covering the next two decades, it's unlikely replacement water will be owed for more than a few years, since the burden is erased once storage reservoirs completely refill, explained IDWR Deputy Director Mathew Weaver. But Weaver worries pumpers will face a deeper hole if there's another dry year, potentially resulting in curtailment orders if they couldn't meet the combined mitigation requirement.
"We might have to go out and curtail, and we've never had to do that on the Surface Water Coalition water call," Weaver said.
Lynn Tominaga, executive director of Idaho Groundwater Appropriators, said the challenge of leasing replacement water has left his members with no better options. Pumpers have already paid the City of Pocatello $25 per acre-foot for 10,000 acre-feet toward the director's mitigation order — compared with the $7 per acre-foot they paid in 2012. Tominaga said he's investigating a few options to lease the final 1,924 acre-feet of this year's burden.
"The issue is we've approached folks to try and buy some water, and what they've said is, 'We're not selling because we don't know if we're going to have enough snow or not and what the weather conditions are going to be,'" Tominaga said.
The vast majority of the pumpers' water debt is owed to surface water irrigators with rights in American Falls Reservoir, which fills completely in 90 percent of the years. Since American Falls is the system's final reservoir, Tominaga emphasized replacement water will be flushed to free storage space, wasting his members' roughly $250,000 investment if the reservoir fills as he hopes.
Surface Water Coalition attorney Travis Thompson said his organization is likely to petition the IDWR director to reconsider his decision allowing pumpers to spread out their obligation. He's concerned about the uncertainty the policy would cause his members regarding their water supply.
"If you have an established injury and that's not mitigated in a timely fashion where it protects the seniors' rights, I think you've got a problem with what's being provided," Thompson said.

H/T (hat tip) to My Science Academy and its early Jan. 2013 article titled 27 Science Fictions That Became Science Facts in 2012 for the information about an invisibility cloak that has been developed by HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. based in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada. Here's more from the company's Oct. 19, 2012 news release,
Once thought to be only a Science Fiction/Fantasy technology, Guy Cramer, President/CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp., discusses the implications of militaries which can now become invisible with his light bending technology called "Quantum Stealth".
Hyperstealth is a successful Canadian camouflage design company with over two million military issued uniforms and over 3000 vehicles and fighter jets using their patterns around the world.
Quantum Stealth is a material that renders the target completely invisible by bending light waves around the target. The material removes not only your visual, infrared (night vision) and thermal signatures but also the target's shadow.
Two separate command groups within the U.S. Military and two separate Canadian Military groups as well as Federal Emergency Response Team (Counter Terrorism) have seen the actual material so they could verify that I was not just manipulating video or photo results; These groups now know that it works and does so without cameras, batteries, lights or mirrors…It is lightweight and quite inexpensive. Both the U.S. and Canadian military have confirmed that it also works against military IR scopes and Thermal Optics.
This brief video interview of Guy Cramer highlights various company products including Quantum Stealth ,
Cramer has included a number of updates, corrections, and additions to his company's Oct. 19, 2012 news release (which you will see if you keep scrolling down past the original release) ,
Isn't there a risk that someone else may figure this out or copy what you've done? Yes, but I've already developed a countermeasure for Quantum Stealth so we would be able to detect anyone else with something identical or similar to Quantum Stealth.
Do I care that people remain skeptical? Nope, the people that need to know that it works have seen it and verified it and their opinions are the only ones that matter.
Will Quantum Stealth be available for the general public or commercial market? Not in the near future unless the Military decided to release the technology and I don't anticipate that will happen anytime soon.
Is there anything planned for the commercial market? I am working on a number of non-powered color changing camouflage materials for the commercial market which utilize different technologies than either Quantum Stealth or Smartcamo. Colors change with climate, seasons cause environmental colors to change and even the 24 hour day can cause a large color discrepancy between camouflage and the background as day becomes night. People want camouflage which can change with these variables.
Have you made camouflage obsolete? Not necessarily, standard camouflage should continue to have its place, however, on the front lines it might become your second choice behind Quantum Stealth if you're Canadian, American or British and your group is authorized to use it.
Update: December 18, 2012
I, Guy Cramer, have conducted about 20 interviews on this subject, however, there are now over 5,000 worldwide news stories that have come out in the past 8 days. With the internet, one news group just plagiarizes a previous story and fact checking is out the window. Some of you may remember the game as a child where you whisper a phrase in the ear of the first person and they whisper the same phase to the next person…10 people later you ask the last person to say the phase that they just were whispered and the phase is often completely different.
Some inaccuracies have come up which need clarification – if you have read this whole page you know the photos are mock-ups to show the concept, we have never told the media that these are photos of the real technology and in fact we've asked them to mark the photos as mock-ups or explain it on T.V.- but doing so doesn't sell the story, so most of the articles leave this key point out. I started the process of correcting the reporters with the first reports I could find that did not mention this correctly such as http://www.businessinsider.com/cnn-new-camoflague-technology-makes-troops-invisible-2012-12 (these two reporters never did correct it after I asked them to) but the story went viral. There is no way for me to get 5,000 news sources to mark the images as mockups that didn't even bother to interview me in the first place. I have not been dishonest about this, the reporters have.
I've never been to the Pentagon and the Pentagon is not backing our Light Bending technology at this time, this inaccuracy came about from the Daily Mail article where they combined the information on this page with the CNN interview where the reported [sic] is a Pentagon correspondent – but the Daily Mail never interviewed me, their online story is one key article that caused the story to go viral. I have only claimed that two separate U.S. Military command groups have seen demonstrations of the material, this doesn't mean the Pentagon was one of them. The Canadian Government only provided authorization 2 weeks ago to be able to move forward with the U.S. Military regarding this technology.
Canadian Foreign Affairs is involved in determining the potential restrictions and clearance in moving forward with the British Military and will not make a decision until at least the Spring of 2013. At their request, I did a presentation of the technology at British Military Headquarters in Bristol in 2011 as well as the SBS (Special Boat Service) in Poole accompanied by two former U.S. Navy SEALs, one being Bill Jarvis mentioned in an earlier update.
Some critics are claiming that our technology (if it works) must only work in one direction at one angle. I can tell you that we have demonstrated that it can work in 360 degrees meaning you will see what is on the other side of the target and some one at a different angle will see what is immediately behind the target from their vantage point.
This story is not new, the "Atlantic" magazine article published in July 2011 discussed the technology from a video I showed him and the same reporter was shown our actual Smartcamo (color changing material) and confirmed that technology really works. It is only recently that the media has become focused on light bending technology due to the CNN interview which was not our intended story with them but when a three hour interview with CNN is cut into 2 minutes, the focus of their story was on this and not on the ADS Inc./Guy Cramer US4CES Family of camouflage finalist with the U.S. Army camouflage improvement program, which is the initial story they were there for.
There was no biographical information (that I could find) for Cramer on the company website but there is this in an April 22, 2011 posting on the Tactical Gear Military Clothing News site,
Guy Cramer is the President/CEO of HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. CCD (Camouflage, Concealment & Deception) Specialist, IT Analyst: Level 4, Inventor of the Passive Negative Ion Generator, World Expert on Air Ions as per NASA JPL. He has worked on projects with, NASA Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and Senator John Warner's office while he was Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. Cramer also worked under the direct commission of King Abdullah II of Jordan. He is the former research assistant and grandson to Donald L. Hings, P.Eng, M.B.E. (Member of British Empire), C.M. (Order of Canada) inventor of the Walkie-Talkie prior to WWII. Cramer has designed over 9,000 camouflage patterns for over 34 countries and recently developed Smartcamo, a textile which can change color to match the surrounding environment.
It's a shame there aren't more technical details about Quantum Stealth as it would be interesting for someone to compare and contrast this technology with other light bending technologies (invisibility cloaks).

Find out how to protect yourself against illnesses from contaminated food and water.
Many illnesses are contracted through contaminated food and water.
Reduce your risk of diseases like travellers' diarrhoea by following these basic guidelines.
In countries with poor sanitation, don't drink tap water or use it to brush your teeth unless it has been treated.
Filtered, bottled, boiled or chemically treated water should be used. Bottled fizzy drinks with an intact seal are usually safe, as are boiled water and hot drinks made with boiled water. Ice in drinks should be avoided.
The most reliable way to purify water is by boiling it, but this is not always possible.
Chemical disinfectants, such as iodine and chlorine, will usually kill bacteria and viruses, and can easily be obtained from larger pharmacies or specialist travel shops.
However, some parasites are not reliably killed with iodine or chlorine preparations.
Combining iodine or chlorine with filtration using a specialist filter bought from a travel shop should be effective.
Domestic water filters designed for use in the UK are not suitable.
Foods to avoid in countries where sanitation is poor:
Food served in good-standard hotels or restaurants may not always be safe as it may have been contaminated during preparation.
Try to pick places to eat that have a reputation for serving safe food.
As a rule, only eat freshly prepared food that is thoroughly cooked and served steaming hot.
Always wash your hands after going to the toilet and before preparing or eating food.

YES! Recommends: Americans Who Tell The Truth
Robert Shetterly felt angry and sad after the horror of 9/11. So, he did the best thing a painter could do to work through intense feelings—he painted.
Shettterly's original goal was to paint 50 portraits of Americans who used their gifts—and grit—to bring equal rights to all. Truth-tellers, he calls them. Today, there are 170 portraits—all accompanied by quotes written by the portrait subject—and more in the works.
AWTT offers curriculum, lesson plans, and other resources to teach your students not only about their American heritage, but also to draw strength from heroic virtues of courage, honesty, tolerance, generosity, and compassion. Shetterly sees the portraits as affirmations that "only through persistent courage and dedicated citizenship can we maintain our ideals.
With AWTT resources, you and your students not only will discover new heroes, but, also perhaps, a newfound spirit to bring change to your lives and communities.
Americans Who Tell the Truth Curriculum
Americans Who Tell the Truth's portraits, accompanying quotes, and biographies afford multiple opportunities to engage students in critical thinking, discussion, research, writing, and creative expression. Its core curriculum includes a number of ways to use the biographies of Robert Shetterly's 170 portraits, including "living" timelines, role-playing and dramatization, citizenship projects, and sketchbook journals.
VISIT: Americans Who Tell the Truth Curriculum
MORE: NEW! Lessons on nine areas of social justice (see right hand column).
"Moments of Truth" Poems
Many of the portrait subjects have written quotes responding to the question: What was a turning point in your life that really defined your work's purpose? Here's a terrific activity to recognize and celebrate the core of inspiration for a truth teller's work—their "moment of truth." Have your students read the quote or brief piece written by a portrait subject. Then follow this poetry template, loosely based on Kekla Magoon's "The Rock and the River" study.
Here's an example from Dr. Martin Luther King:
Dr. Martin Luther King
I am Martin
Courageous non-violent warrior
I love all people
I hate oppression
I fear ignorance
I wish for freedom

Education nonprofit groups, including Voices Education Project and Zinn Education Project are pairing their lesson plans with AWTT portraits or hosting online galleries. These partnership resources expand the number of ways teachers may work with the portraits in their classrooms. For example, Voices Education Project—an organization that gives voice to war veterans and helps students understand the roots of conflict and rebuild healthy human communities—organized AWTT portraits according to topics that mean something to them, such as anti-war and human rights heroes, religious leaders, elected officials, and filmmakers.

Painter Robert Shetterly's series, Americans Who Tell the Truth, highlights Americans past and present whose dignity, courage, and honesty have shaped this country. In addition to 170 portraits, the organization provides curriculum and other classroom resources. It is also a traveling exhibit.
Robert Shetterly's creative epiphany came when he took a couple of drawing courses at Harvard College. An award-winning artist of many genres—painting, drawing, illustration, printmaking, etching—the Maine painter has focused on a series of portraits called "Americans Who Tell the Truth." Much of his current community work focuses on issues concerning whistle-blowing, the environment, and education.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon safety officials have fined a suburban Portland wild cat sanctuary $5,600 for two serious violations, one of which likely contributed to an employee being mauled to death by a cougar.
The state's Occupational Safety and Health Division found WildCat Haven violated its two-person safety procedure by allowing employees to work alone with the wild cats on a frequent basis.
The sanctuary's protocol calls for two qualified workers inside an enclosure containing animals. Renee Radziwon-Chapman was killed at the sanctuary while working alone, cleaning a large cougar enclosure.
The facility's co-owner Michael Tuller discovered her bloodied inside the enclosure, with two cougars roaming nearby unsecured and a third cougar locked in a smaller cage inside the enclosure.
The 36-year-old wife and new mother had worked as an animal care technician and head keeper at the sanctuary for eight years. After Radziwon-Chapman's death, her mother Carol Radziwon told The Associated Press the young woman had expressed concerns about safety measures at the facility.
The OSHA investigation uncovered cellphone messages indicating Radziwon-Chapman "had spoken to owner Cheryl Tuller on numerous occasions just prior to the attack about the need for more help."
"This organization didn't have a large number of employees and it had allowed other people to work alone with the cats in the past," said Michael Wood, Oregon OSHA administrator. "The employers clearly knew the keeper was working alone. It was a frequent occurrence, it happened with some regularity."
Wood said the penalty was small, but it was the maximum fine for this size of employer.
Investigators also found the latches on the smaller cage where cougars were locked out of the larger enclosure to be inadequately designed. The "light duty substandard gate latch" was designed for easy operation in backyards, but was "inappropriate for securing dangerous cougars," investigators wrote, because it can fail and inadvertently pop open if not fully closed.
To secure those inadequate latches, workers had to enter the large enclosure and hook a carabiner over each latch. "In doing so," OSHA said, "they were exposed to cougars who were housed in a lockout that was not fully secured."
Radziwon-Chapman had not secured a carabiner on the day she was mauled to death.
But investigators concluded the substandard latch did not contribute to the keeper's death, Wood said. Instead, he said investigators believe two of the cougars were never locked in the smaller cage. He said investigators came to that conclusion because they found signs indicating the keeper had begun the work of cleaning the enclosure.
Wood said there is also a possibility that the two cats got out of the smaller cage due to substandard locks, but that scenario was less likely.
Sanctuary lawyer Dale Johnson said in a statement that both of the violations have already been addressed.
"Because of the hazards of providing sanctuary to wild animals that are both compelling and unpredictable, our greatest priority is to develop and ensure compliance with fail-proof safety procedures," the statement said.
WildCat Haven is a nonprofit that rescues wild animals such as cougars, bobcats, tigers, and other wild cats. It currently houses about 65 animals. The sanctuary is 17 miles south of Portland, in a secluded, wooded area. It is closed to the public but can conduct tours for donors.
The company has 30 days to appeal the citation.

Arborway crash injures six
Arborway crash injures six
Six people, including four teenagers, were injured in a 2013 crash on the Arborway in Jamaica Plain.
Nikolas Papadopoulos was driving at least 59 miles an hour when the 2003 Mazda Tribute he was driving crossed over the yellow line and collided with an oncoming pickup truck driven by Kevin Cellucci, a father who once played hockey with his three boys, prosecutors said.
The crash left a teenager paralyzed and a Dorchester father of three unable to walk, talk or eat on his own.
Both badly damaged vehicles were visible on the side of the Arborway, along with a large amount of debris.
Papadopoulos, or West Roxbury man, faces charges in the crash.

Laconic chair cover
Added Mar 25, 2013
by kintijap
Riga, Latvia
As painting for some time is out of my can-do-lists, to make this chair look better I decided for a nice, simple 'dress' for it. I love some details on this chair – wooden carve-out flower and rivets, but the skin on the sitting place and the wood itself seems rather old and needs refurbishing.
The pattern for the 'dress' I made myself just measuring all the parts from chair. I love how it turned out – very simple and laconic, the zipper makes it a bit more eye catching and refreshes it.
Material Notes
The fabric I used was not really wearable, it is quite itchy and not really for touching because of the texture. But you can sit on it definitely. It is some cotton blend.
Additionally only a zipper was needed.

Meetings set throughout state
The Natural Resources Conservation Service is holding 108 public meetings across the state by the end of August for producers to learn about the new Conservation Stewardship Program.
This program was announced Aug. 10 by USDA officials. This is the first nationwide sign-up for this program, according to Steve Chick, NRCS state conservationist. Previous sign-ups under a similar program were on a watershed or area basis.
Farm and ranch operators will have until Sept. 30 to apply for this first program sign-up at local NRCS offices.
Area meetings to learn about the program include:
Lexington—Wednesday, Aug. 26, 1-3 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express.
North Plattte—Wednesday, Aug. 26, 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express, Sioux Room, at 300 Holiday Frontage Road.
Broken Bow—Thursday, Aug. 27, 11-1 p.m. at Huckleberry's, 625 S. 10.
The Conservation Stewardship Program is a voluntary program that encourages ag producers to maintain existing conservation practices and adopt news ones in their operations.
This program was authorized through 2017 in the last farm bill. NRCS will be taking applications on a continuous sign-up and periodically ranking applications for funding in the future also.
"During the application process the operator will have to provide some documentation of their operations, and if they rent land be able to show control of the land for the length of a five year contract," said Chick. There are also some operators, especially grazing folks that may not have a Farm Service Agency number for their operations. That number will be needed for the CSP application. These meetings will give more producers time to get ready, he added.
CSP is not a cost-share program but rather pays for conservation work already accomplished and offers incentives to apply additional conservation practices.
Further information is available at any NRCS office or the Nebraska Web site or the national NRCS Web site.

Yuval Levin explains why compromising over how to deal with the nation's fiscal crisis is so difficult:
The Democrats want to raise revenue and the Republicans want to reform entitlements. Those goals would seem to be easily reconciled — just do some of each, or even lots of each. But it only seems that way because we don't often think about why the parties want these things. Simply (and surely somewhat too simply) put, the Democrats want more money so that the entitlement system doesn't have to be reformed, while the Republicans want to reform the entitlement system so that the government doesn't have to take more of the country's money or take up even more of the economy. That means that doing some of each, let alone lots of each, doesn't give both parties what they want, it gives both parties what they are desperately trying to avoid.
That's it in a nutshell. And I think the Democrats understand this conundrum better than the Republicans do. Or maybe they are just in a better position right now to proceed based on this understanding.

About the State of Wyoming Administration and Information Human Resources Division
The Human Resource Division is a team of dedicated, accountable, progressive professionals who are committed to fostering a work environment that provides open communication, innovative ideas and solutions for meeting the ever changing needs of the customer.
To partner with our customers by providing guidance, resources and leadership which will assist in meeting objectives.
The Human Resource Division's statutory responsibilities can be classified in the following areas:
Provide for personnel hearings, support to the compensation commission, establish, administer and promulgate reasonable rules for personnel classification systems, compensation plans, applicant selection and recruitment systems, and performance appraisal systems.
The Human Resources Division (HRD) offers assistance to the Executive Branch Agencies, the Legislative Service Office, the University of Wyoming, Community Colleges and the Citizens of Wyoming. Twenty-two full time positions carry out their part of the strategies, which involve hearings, grievances, state and federal employment law interpretation, record retention, rule interpretations, personnel database entry, position control, selection, recruitment, training, pay determination, position classification, group insurance plans, and other benefits provided through the State Personnel Rules.
The Human Resource Division is working closely with all state agencies to develop and implement an Employee Development System which incorporates work force planning and a competency based performance appraisal system. This process will involve agencies identifying the skill sets needed to meet the needs of their customers and then working with employees to ensure they have the skills needed to meet requirements of the job. This process, along with the compensation plan, will assist the Division in addressing the issue of turnover in state government. One of the goals is to decrease turnover in state government by being able to better position employees to be successful in their jobs and paying them competitively.
The Human Resource Division develops and maintains a state wide selection process that aims to provide the highest qualified individuals to meet the needs of the state agencies. Also, assistance is provided to agency managers, employees and applicants in ensuring compliance with numerous state and federal legal and administrative requirements (EEO, FLSA, ADA, etc.). The section maintains a performance appraisal system for the Executive Branch agencies.
The Human Resource Division defines job knowledge, skills and abilities required by state jobs for relevant recruitment, classification, training and development. It also administers a mechanism for movement within each pay grade, in conjunction with the Compensation Commission; evaluates and defines job parameters, performance measures and pay according to market; surveys a relevant labor market that represents public and private sector employers; and maintains a competitive posture with other states and public entities on benefits available and costs to the state. This is accomplished through completion of annual benefits surveys and promulgation of rules pertaining to employee benefits.

Everyone wants to snuggle with a Victoria's Secret model, right? This time it was Michelle Rodriguez, who with Cara Delevingne drew attention canoodling and otherwise having a good time courtside at Tuesday's New York Knicks game.
The "Fast and Furious" and "Lost" actress, 35, looked a bit hammered after a while in photos that showed her and the Victoria's Secret Angel, 21, cuddling, kissing, whispering into each other's ears and generally acting in an outrageous manner.
The two also puffed e-cigarettes and took selfies, which as of Wednesday morning were not posted on either woman's Twitter or Instagram accounts. However, Delevingne did post a shot of her just about licking the face of actor Kellan Lutz at the game. "Get out the licks for the Knicks," she captioned it.
PHOTOS: Our favorite celebrity couples of 2013
"Cara had to take Michelle's drink away from her during the second half of the game," an observer told Us Weekly. "Michelle was so sloppy, it was embarrassing to watch."
Delevingne had been to a Nets game the previous night with Rihanna, according to her Twitter feed.
On the way out of the Tuesday night game, Rodriguez indulged in a couple of crazy kicks in front of paparazzi, the New York Daily News reported.
Finding a ride home, of course, was probably a good idea: Rodriguez was popped for DUI in 2006 while she was shooting "Lost" on Oahu in Hawaii, choosing five days in jail and a $500 fine over the fine plus community service.
PHOTOS: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013
Rodriguez has also stated that while she's not gay, she has no problem hooking up with men or women.
"I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too ... curious to sit here and not try when I can," she told Entertainment Weekly in October. "Men are intriguing. So are chicks."
[For the record, 12:45 p.m. March 31: This post and its headline previously had misspelled Cara Delevingne's last name as Delavigne.]

Cirque du Soleil's globally admired entertainers always push way, way out to the extremities of imagination, discovery, execution and sheer sensation.
Cirque du Soleil's globally admired entertainers always push way, way out to the extremities of imagination, discovery, execution and sheer sensation.
So it is with the trampoline specialists - and their gravity-defying "trampo-wall" acrobatics - in "Dralion."
"These guys are world-class," said Sean McKeown, artistic director for the version of "Dralion" that brings a Cirque du Soleil production to Stockton for the first time. "They do crazy free-falls. It's pretty amazing acrobatics. Very much like an extreme sport."
"I just concentrate on tumbling," said Dmytro "Dima" Negodin, one of those boldly bouncing extremists. "You don't fall off the trampoline. Not if you concentrate and be in good shape. You'll do good. I'm tumbling, jumping and running walls. You can imagine."
That's definitely the idea with Cirque du Soleil, whose creators have been letting their imaginations run wild - as in anything seems possible - for 28 years.
"Dralion" - "3,000 years of Chinese acrobatic tradition presented in a new, avant-garde way," McKeown said - opens Wednesday at Stockton Arena. There'll be seven performances of the 150-minute show through Oct. 21.
"It's the extreme end of a lot of different things," McKeown said. "Dragon-lion. East-West. Musical beast of harmony. Finding harmony between people of all different origins through fire, air, water and earth. Inter-relationships between different groups."
Negotin, 30, is one of five trampolinists who bounce 25 feet up to land on top of a wall and then tumble back down to the trampoline's center. Don't try this in the backyard.
"The unique thing is they jump in the middle of the trampoline," McKeown said. "Getting them to jump into the middle and then jump out of trampoline isn't easy."
Very little is with Cirque du Soleil, though it often seems like it. The tumblers, hand-balancers, aerial artists, rope-skippers, hoop-divers, jugglers - even clowns - are internationally trained, precise and Olympics-esque athletes.
"There are incredible acrobatics," McKeown said. "Beautiful solos and duos and great clowns."
The "purpose-built stage" and high-tech lighting and sound equipment can be assembled and dismantled in eight hours.
Negotin, a champion tumbler in his native Ukraine, remembered his indoctrination in Montreal, Quebec, Canada - where Cirque was founded by ex-street performers Guy Laliberte and Gilles Ste-Croix in 1984 and maintains its headquarters.
"I was not nervous," said Negotin, who's been jumping and bouncing with Cirque du Soleil for six years. "I was excited. I started to do everything. They teach us acting, dancing, singing. ... They made an artist of me in six months.
"It's very important when jumping in public to smile and show great energy."
Born in Kharkov, Negodin started winning regular tumbling championships when he was 6 - and the Ukraine still was a republic in the Soviet Union - in solo, team, duo and synchronized formats.
His mom also "tried to get me to dance," Negodin said. "I don't like it. No, no, no. I did gymnastics and took tumbling. I could jump higher than everyone else. The coach said I was very good at tumbling and really liked how I was able to compete."
His father, Vladimir, also a gymnast, helped manufacture artillery for tanks. Mom Natalye also worked in a factory. Negodin has one sister.
He attended Sports School 7 - where gymnastics, wrestling, tumbling and basketball were basics. He competed at his university and on the Ukraine national team.
"My dream was performing for Cirque du Soleil," Negodin said. Since the Soviet Union broke up, "there are, like, big changes now. We have everything in the Ukraine that we need."
Still, Negodin "really enjoys traveling around world and meeting very different people in Mexico, Japan, South America."
"Dralion," with 107 performers and crew members, reflects Cirque du Soleil's international scope and inclusiveness.
"Of course, it's challenging at times," said McKeown, 43, an Australian who's worked on "Dralion," "Quidam" and "Alegria" during his 11 years with Cirque du Soleil. "We have 17 different nationalities. Our own little League of Nations.
"When you have another culture made up of all these people, understandings and misunderstandings can occur. They have a lot of respect for differences. It's much more of a lifestyle than a job."
Naturally, the show - "Dralion" first was staged in April 1999 - constantly is being updated and re-imagined.
"That's one of the great things," said McKeown, who has a theater background and still writes as a creative outlet. "We set out to re-invent with every show and stay up-to-date with everything in the world. We build acrobatic acts and come up with different parts for comedy, dance, music, vocals, acrobatics, gymnastics - to bring it together. It's pretty awesome."
Born in Toronto, north of Sydney, McKeown was transfixed by pantomime performers when he was 12. That fascination led to community theater and the Macquarians, who re-enacted the country's formative convict trials during the nation's 200th anniversary.
"The Australians are quite crazy," said McKeown, who also tap-danced, sang and played flute. He attended the University of Newcastle, but "decided to go out and live a little" at 19.
After 10 years of working in management for NewsCorp and Foxtel cable-TV, he joined Cirque du Soleil in 2001.
"I lived life and brought it back," he said. "You're never too old to be an actor."
For now, he's right where he wants to be.
"I never lose sight of the gift of being part of something so amazing," McKeown said. "It brings entertainment to people, which is a beautiful thing to do."
