Vancouver city council wants BC Hydro to allow customers to opt out of smart meter installation at their homes, The Vancouver Sun reports. The city also wants the utility to research alternatives to smart meters and ways to increase security when it comes to protecting data on household energy use. Joining 40 other BC municipalities, the council has adopted a motion that aims to pressure BC Hydro to amend its smart meter program. A BC Hydro spokeswoman said the program is necessary, and another said the company has safeguards in place to protect against hacking.

In July, Penn welcomed Bon Appétit, recognized both for its culinary expertise and as a pioneer in environmentally sound food policies to our campus. Bon's Appétit's mission of "food services for a sustainable future" is delivered through its signature programs for quality, nutrition and sustainability. The Farm to Fork program seeks to purchase as much of the food as locally as possible, sustaining both local farmers and producers as well as local businesses. Already, only a few months after Bon Appétit's arrival, over 20% of the food being served at Penn is provided by local farmers, bakers and companies within 150 miles of the campus. Other initiatives include using only seafood that is sustainably raised or caught and providing shell and liquid eggs that are Certified Humane and cage-free.
With these efforts, Bon Appétit at Penn Dining is a key partner in support of the University's Climate Action Plan. Bon Appétit's Circle of Responsibility Program provides a wealth of resources for individual staff, faculty and students to understand the impact the food we eat has on the environment and make dietary choices that fit their goals and values.

What You Should Know
By Senator Rev. Ruben Diaz
32nd Senatorial District Bronx County, New York
Tel. 718-991-3161
I am disappointed and sad to learn that the latest New York State political corruption trial names New York State Senate Deputy Majority Leader Thomas Libous in trial testimony.
I have always considered Senator Thomas Libous to be a serious, straight-forward and responsible legislator, even though we disagree on some issues.
You should know that these news reports about a federal corruption trial in Westchester County contained testimony given about Senator Thomas Libous offering to "increase business to his politically-connected law firm in exchange for a high-paying job for his son, Matthew Libous." Reports include testimony by Anthony Magone that Senator Libous insisted that his son should get hired not for $50,000, not for $100,000, but for $150,000 - which after 8 months, the firm could not afford.
According to the latest news reports, Senator Libous "has not been implicated for any illegal activity, but has been brought up in testimony in a Yonkers corruption trial."
As this story continues to unfold, I hope that Senator Libous knows that he and his family will always be in my prayers and that I know he's not that type of person.
On the other hand, I am curious about the tepid news coverage of this story as it compares to the media frenzy about the Four Amigos. Do you remember the fuss that was made by the media about any accusation against my fellow Amigos, Senators Monserrate, Espada and Kruger and how aggressively these accusations were fomented by the media?
You should know that When the FBI conducts investigations, people get scared and often run for cover. You should also know that these investigations serve a good purpose because they are meant to prove either one of two things: 1) that you are dirty and deserve punishment; or 2) that you are super clean and deserve praise for it.
As I recall the political environment that surrounded the scrutiny of the Four Amigos, I would like to ask a question to all of the "super clean" people and to all of the investigative journalists who covered these stories: Please, would anyone let me know," whatever happened to the $14 million dollars Pedro Espada was accused of stealing?"
You know that (then) Attorney General Andrew Cuomo made public allegations that Pedro Espada stole $14 million dollars. You should know that Pedro Espada was never indicted for stealing $14 million dollars. I wonder if anyone is willing to follow up on these very formal and strong allegations?
What happened to former Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's accusation that Pedro Espada stole $14 million dollars? Was our former Attorney General abusing his power and exaggerating this claim about Pedro Espada and $14 million dollars and if not, are there any penalties or punishments for anyone who makes false accusations? What proof did he rely upon to make that accusation? Why wasn't Pedro Espada indicted for stealing $14 million dollars? Was (then) Attorney General Andrew Cuomo part of a coordinated smear campaign in his role as Attorney General to make sure Pedro Espada would lose his Senate seat?
I look forward to any closure that may come about in the media, and I remain hopeful and pray that people stop using their power and resources to smear and release damaging statements to destroy the integrity and reputation of others. I also hope that this is not the case with Senator Thomas Libous.
I am Senator Rev. Rubén Díaz and this is what you should know.

Met-ocean Monitoring for Belgian Port Operations - 20/02/2012
An oceanographic and meteorological data collection buoy is to assist in Belgian port operations. The AXYS Watchmate buoy has been purchased by Fabricom (GDF Suez, Belgium) replacing a damaged met-ocean buoy. The requirements were to provide an alternative buoy platform with capabilities to measure waves, currents, winds and temperature.
Fabricom approached AXYS in late autumn 2011 after an existing met-ocean buoy that it had been maintaining was destroyed in an accident with a vessel near the Flemish Banks. Data from the buoy was to be transmitted via UHF radio. After a review of the requirements and deployment environment, AXYS determined that a WatchMate 1.8-metre-diameter buoy platform, outfitted with applicable sensors and telemetry, could be suitable for the job. A contract award was made in December.
The WatchMate buoy is controlled by the WatchMan500 marine datalogger/controller, which also includes DMS control software and SmartWeb data display tools. Onboard sensors include a TRIAXYS Directional Wave sensor, a Nortek 2MHz ADP single point current meter, an AXYS modified air temperature sensor, and a Gill Windsonic anemometer. Data is sent to shore each hour via GPRS cellular telemetry. An L3 Automatic Identification System (AIS) type 3 transponder is installed to give mariners advance warning of the buoy's position, helping to prevent and avoid collisions. The AIS device can also send short met-hydro messages if needed.
The WatchMate buoy is currently under final testing at the AXYS facility. Deployment is expected to take place in spring 2012 after completion of AXYS field service specialist training and commissioning on site in Belgium.Last updated: 21/09/2017

Technical Article => Business => Business
What makes a great IT project manager
Since IT project management is a field in constant flux, there's no one universal definition of a great IT project manager. Still, there are some skills and features that can be easily adapted to any working environment, meeting new organizational needs and consequent challenges. A significant problem is the fact that project manager will mean different things to different people (even within the same organization!). Some say that the greatest IT project managers are those who are able to balance the soft leadership skills with hard and detailed knowledge of tools, methodology and technical aspects of projects. Here are 7 key features that make a great project manager for any IT department.
1. Communication
This is probably the most important soft skill for project management. A successful project manager must possess not only great communication skills in public speaking and transmitting the project's vision to the team, but also strong listening skills.
The ability to recognize and praise project team members is crucial as well. Projects develop dynamically and you can expect various issues to crop up continuously throughout a project life cycle. All the changes in schedule, product scope and costs seriously impact the success or failure of a project.
That's why a great project manager is an active listener and knows how to handle team members who at some point might express their concern for the project's future. Knowing how to do it will earn him or her the respect of the team, but also offer an early warning of problems that may lie ahead.
Showing empathy is important when listening and communicating with others, helping project managers to understand what individuals or entire teams are going through. A great project manager will have an innate grasp of the total working environment and will be able to restate such concerns back to team members – all to make sure that they realize their concerns are taken into consideration seriously.
2. Adherence to standard methodologies
Leading a project team to success is impossible without understanding and enforcing standard project management methodologies and organizational processes. One important aspect is the knowledge of of the Project Management Institute's Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (called PMBOK® Guide), or Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology.
Great project managers will also have extensive knowledge about the organizational policies to help the project flow much smoother and lead it faster to completion. But that's not the end of story – project mangers must also ensure that all team members understand and follow those standard processes.
The importance of standards is quite clear. Imagine what would happen is every single project manager had their own method – team members would be forced to lose time on learning it every time they're being managed by a different person. And no organization can support such a loss of resources.
Standard processes help project managers detect the critical path and actually help in communication when team members formulate their status reports in accordance with a particular methodology.
3. Integrity
What does integrity mean in the context of project management? Basically, it's about loyalty and honesty shown to every single team member. Great project managers are able to quickly gain the trust of their team and are able to set a certain ethical tone on the projects.
They set the rules, but also show that they follow all of them themselves. Just because the emphasis is placed on projects' profitability doesn't mean that certain values must be forgotten during its realization.
Great project managers won't need to bend their work ethics to achieve specific goals – in fact, they should always be able to come up with different solutions to a problem.
4. Problem solving
This is a skill belonging to the hard skill repertoire of great project managers. A project manager is the leader of a team, but this doesn't mean that he or she is responsible for solving every single problem encountered during the realization of the project.
In fact, great project managers know how to collaborate with experts and consultants, making the most from their expertise to tackle key problem in the most efficient way. Nobody expects project managers to have a ready-made solution to every issue, but great project mangers are those who are able to use the knowledge of their team members and even stakeholders to produce a successful collective response to problems cropping up while delivering a project.
5. Understanding of the supported technology
Whether it's hardware or software, a full understanding of technologies being used on the project will give any project manager a real competitive edge. There are many people who claim that a project manager can manage every kind of project.
But they're clearly wrong – we've seen various IT project managers losing control of a project because their technical leads provided incorrect information like requests for unneeded software, unrealistic estimates or erroneous reasons for falling behind schedule. This happens precisely because the project manager has no experience to tell the difference.
All the above doesn't mean of course that a project manger should be a tech expert – simply that he or she should possess sufficient knowledge to fully understand requests coming from the technical staff. This knowledge enables project mangers to question and evaluate all the estimates made by the tech pros.
All in all, a reasonable technical understanding with a dash of strong communication skills is essential for IT project managers. This is how they can explain technical issues to the non-technical members of the team and gain respect from the tech staff of the project.
6. Key leadership features
A project manager is first and foremost the leader of the project. This means that his or her behavior, methodology and communication will set the tone for the project – one of the crucial responsibilities of a project manager is providing a clear vision about its objectives to the team.
A great project manager is someone other people follow naturally – a person who bears a sense of foresight and responsibility. Such a manager is able to anticipate potential problems and make sure that the team is ready to solve all issues quickly and efficiently.
Features that draw others to follow a project manager are also his or her enthusiasm and passion for the project – there's nothing more damaging to a project than spreading a negative attitude about about it all over team members.
7. Task delegation
This skill correlates with the general ability of project managers to build trust among their team members as well as between themselves and their team. Being a leader doesn't mean being responsible for every single task that makes up for the totality of the project.
Project managers value more the general vision instead of fragmented insights into the details of this or that task – it's the former that allows them to lead the team to success. By delegating tasks to team members, project mangers show their trust. It's essential that they know how to judge team members and assign tasks in accordance with their strengths and weaknesses.
The task of IT project managers is often perceived as slightly more complicated than project managers working in non-technical areas, but the truth is that a certain degree of technical knowledge not only makes a project delivery more exciting, but also far more rewarding for the project manager in question. That's why IT project management based on this specific skillset is simply be the best solution for the dynamic reality of the tech world.

Lucknow: In another shocking story of brutality in Uttar Pradesh, a minor has alleged that she was raped at gunpoint by a guard employed by BSP member of Parliament Jugal Kishore in Lakhimpur Kheri.
The 16-year-old has alleged that she was gagged and then dragged by the accused, a man called Brijesh, into the house of the MP, when she was on her way back home from a wedding function on Saturday night. The MP was not at home when the incident allegedly happened.
The police say they have registered a case on the complaint of the girl's father. "A man has registered an FIR. He told us that a guard abducted his daughter and dragged her into the house of the BSP MP and then raped her. We are investigating this and will take necessary action," said Soumitra Yadav, an Assistant Superintendent of Police.
The girl alleged, "It was around 11.30 pm. Someone came up behind me, put a cloth on my mouth and dragged me to the house of Jugul Kishor. The assailant locked it from inside, beat me and raped me. When I tried to escape, he beat me even more. I lost consciousness. The man who raped me is an employee of BSP MP Jugul Kishore." The teen also said that the man who attacked her threatened her with both a knife and a gun.
The girl's father says the family was returning from the wedding function when they found her missing. "On our way back, we couldn't find the girl anywhere. BSP coordinator Jugul Kishore's house is close by and the man who raped her emerged from there," he alleged, adding that when they rushed into the house, they found his daughter lying unconscious there.

The call of the wild
Take a look on almost any Kiwi bookshelf and he'll be there - gruff, rough and ready to skin a deer. Barry Crump. The quintessential New Zealand bloke whose genial tales of outdoor life were first published in 1960 and have sold quicker than fresh whitebait ever since.
One in four New Zealanders owns a Barry Crump novel. But as of 2013, only 15 per cent of us live outside the city. Most of us have never stuck a pig. So are we still good, keen Kiwis? And if not, why does the myth persist?
"Everyone likes to think they're a hunter-gatherer," says Cameron Petley, the hunting, fishing Putaruru cook who won hearts with his rough charm on television's MasterChef in 2011.
"Even if they're not, they like the idea of it."
Petley has run into dozens of these Kiwis since he published his book on cooking wild food. They come to his signings and he listens to them talk about catching "a feed" and enthuses along with them, understanding the allure.
"I've taken people out hunting before. First-timers. As soon as they catch their first animal they're hooked. It makes you feel more like a man. That you've killed with your bare hands and brought it home for the family. You feel like you're providing."
A look at the figures tells you the idea of the backcountry bloke was one founded on more than simply a desire to provide - it was a necessity. In 1881, almost 60 per cent of the country was living in a rural area, slogging it out against the bush to carve a place for themselves. Land agents successfully sold the idea of a farmer's paradise to Britain, and by 1916 the rural population numbered 501,000, accounting for half the population.
However, that's where the farming boom stopped.
While we've still got 30 million sheep to our 4.4 million people, working on the land is no longer a major occupation. Less than 10 per cent of the workforce are employed in either agriculture, forestry or fishing. And as of 2001, the number of those living rurally was still just 532,000, with the other four million of us living in towns and cities, making us one the most urbanised countries in the world.
"The rural myth is one embedded in Pakeha culture and reinforced by politicians and advertisers who talk about the 'Great Kiwi Dream'," says urban designer Tom Beard, from Wellington.
"But in reality, it's like something off an L&P advert, all sepia toned."
Beard is a proud "townie" who hasn't been camping since his childhood in Christchurch. He refuses to own jandals - "they're not elegant" - and hunting is about as far from his ideal hobby, restaurant reviewing, as can be.
"I prefer other people to catch the pigs and make them into a nice lunch and serve them in a cafe."
According to the numbers, there must be thousands more pure urbanites like Beard. Except, as he points out, you won't see them reflected in our stories about ourselves. "Advertisers tell us that we're supposed to like rugby, racing and beer and if you don't then what are you?"
According to Statistics New Zealand, exposure to rural New Zealand is probably through watching Country Calendar - after a workout at the gym: Kiwis spend about two hours a day watching television, and the use of sports facilities and parks is ever on the rise.
Chief executive of Recreation New Zealand Andrew Leslie says the number of people working in the recreation sector - sports clubs, gyms, parks, etc - now numbers upwards of 50,000 people, with an economic impact comparable to the dairy industry.
"People have less time and less money so they're making more use of facilities in urban environments. And that's predicted to grow."
Leslie said that doesn't necessarily mean people are less outdoorsy.
"Because people have less time, the experience they can have in an urban environment becomes really important," he says.
"We know that things like green belts in the city are gateways to the bush. And we want people to recreate in the urban environment and the great outdoors because it's good for them so we've got to make sure the experience in the urban environment leads to an appreciation of the great outdoors."
Just how great that appreciation is has been difficult to measure.
While the Department of Conservation knows that New Zealanders like camping - 37 per cent of us say we do it on a regular basis (without electricity, for the most part) - figures on New Zealanders' usage of their famously scenic bushy "backyard" are hard to come by.
Environment and recreation planner Kay Booth, who did a recent audit of the literature on participation, says the reasons why New Zealanders don't get into the outdoors are unknown.
"Are there reasons stopping them or are they just not interested? We don't know."
Booth said an example of a good study would be on how many people bought mountainbikes or four-wheel-drives then actually took them off road.
"Owning those sort of things would support our image but whether we use them to take us into places is another question."
Vice-president of the Federated Mountain Clubs Peter Wilson said he believed many Kiwis did use the outdoors, with tramping remaining one of the country's most popular activities.
"In the past 10 years we've seen a steady increase in the number of people joining tramping clubs," he said. "There was a drop off in the late 80s and early 90s, probably related to the recession, but it's picked up again now."
Wilson said tramping had always been popular because it was something you could do no matter your age.
"Plus it leads to other things - kayaking, mountainbiking, and fishing, for example."
According to 2007-08 research done by Sparc (now Sport NZ) on recreation, 10 per cent of Kiwis had been tramping in the 12 months surveyed. Walking, gardening, swimming, equipment-based activities, cycling, jogging, fishing, golf, and dance were done more often.
Wilson said the surveys showed that even if they couldn't get out in the outdoors as much as they would like, Kiwis still highly valued the experience.
"Whether they actually put that into action is another thing, but they do like to think of themselves as outdoor people and people of the land."
Beard believes that whatever the truth, it's time Kiwis started to be proud of their urban roots as well as their rural ones.
"Currently there's a real sameness about our culture. And it can be detrimental, that No 8 wire mentality," he said.
"We act like we're afraid of noise and the city and intellectualism, rather than being professional."
Beard was hopeful that as cities began to become more liveable, New Zealanders would begin to embrace a new identity and the stereotype would begin to evolve.
"I like to think it's changing because not only do I find urban life fascinating and entertaining, but it's more sustainable as well."
After all, even Barry Crump came out of the bush eventually.

Prosecutors are petitioning to reopen the trial of alleged G20 plotter Byron Sonne and enter new evidence.
The unusual move comes after the Toronto Police bomb squad visited the Forest Hill home Sonne once shared with his now-estranged wife and found 1.7 kilograms of potassium chlorate last week.
That visit was based on defence testimony that in a May 2010 online chat, Sonne, 39, talked about a "storage magazine" containing potassium chlorate buried in the home's backyard.
The trial, which had its closing arguments last week, heard potassium chlorate can be used to make both explosives and propellants for rockets. Last week, with numerous emergency vehicles present, the substance was burned on the Leslie St. Spit but did not explode.
Sonne's lawyer Joseph Di Luca said in court he might consent to the introduction of new evidence, but called it an "extraordinary step in a criminal case." He said he has "serious concerns" about the timing of the search. He also noted the chemicals were where his client said they would be.
Superior Court Justice Nancy Spies gave the lawyers until Friday morning to agree on how to best deal with the new evidence, adding that "but for the quantity, the evidence is already in" and she would "hate to see the case derailed."
Court reconvenes Friday, when Spies is expected to decide whether to reopen the case. A verdict is scheduled for April 23.
Sonne, who became known as the "G20 geek," was arrested almost two years ago before the G20 summit in 2010. He faces four counts of possession of explosive devices and one count of counselling others to commit an indictable offence.

Dogs are allowed, with the exception of Columbine and Sharptail Ridge, but must be on leash except for the off-leash dog areas at Glendale Farm and Greenland. Users must stay on the trail. Hours of use are 1 hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. For more information please visit Rules and Regulations.
Here are the Open Space trails located in Douglas County. Select a trail below to obtain specific information on each trail and to download a map of the trail.
Bayou Gulch Open Space Trail
4 miles of trail, parking at Bayou Gulch Regional Park, connection to Cherry Creek Regional Trail.
Columbine Open Space is protected for its important wetlands along Plum Creek, pine forest and Gambel oak habitat. The trails are comprised of two 1.5 mile loops that follow through the upper grasslands and shrublands. The old red barn and rock springhouse are on this property. Sorry, no dogs are allowed.
Dawson Butte Open Space Trail
The five-mile loop trail on Dawson Butte Open Space travels through mostly forested areas with open meadows and views of the Front Range Mountains. The trail follows gently rolling terrain and optional bridle paths that include over 60 horse jumps. There is no access to the top of the butte.
Glendale Open Space Trail
Adjacent to I-25, this 145-acre property has native chokecherry and wild plum shrubs along an intermittent stream. The trail winds up into Gambel oak shrubland and onto a grassland plain with views of Pikes Peak and the Colorado Front Range. The trail skirts rocky caprock on the northern spur. A 17-acre off-leash dog area is west of the main trail head.
Greenland Open Space Trail
Part of the Colorado Front Range Trail, the lower trail joins into the Old Territorial Road, connecting the old Greenland Townsite to Palmer Lake. The 11-mile trail system is within over 3,000 acres of Greenland Open Space. Trail passes through native grasslands, by ponds, through rolling Gambel oak hills and skirts ponderosa pine forests. Views of Greenland open space, buttes and Pikes Peak. This trail connects to the Santa Fe Trail in El Paso County.
Hidden Mesa Trail
The Town of Castle Rock and Douglas County Open Space preserved 716 acres of land known as Hidden Mesa in a joint effort. Their swift actions eliminated the chance for more than a thousand houses to be perched above the rocky outcrops between Castle Rock and Franktown. Added to the existing Grange Property, the 7-mile round trip Hidden Mesa Trail takes you through the combined 1,200-acre property.
Lincoln Mountain Open Space Trail
The 876-acre Lincoln Mountain Open Space is located along the upper reaches of West Cherry Creek with meadows and rolling grasslands that are backdropped by forested rocky cliffs and the taller mesa of Lincoln Mountain. The land was operated as a working cattle and hay ranch. It is high-value wildlife habitat and contains riparian habitat for the federally threatened Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse. Trails containing two 4-mile loops are open to the public for hiking, horseback and mountain biking.
Sharptail Ridge Trail
The 4.6-mile Sharptail Ridge Trail crosses high rolling grasslands, home to a variety of wildlife including elk herds on Douglas County Open Space, as well as through the SE portion of Roxborough State Park shrublands. See map for connections to trails in Roxborough State Park, Pike National Forest Trail 800, and Douglas County's Swallowtail Loops and the Ringtail Trail. Expect seasonal closures in the Sharptail Ridge Open Space trail segment in the fall to allow for hunting as regulated by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. This trail connects to Indian Creek Trail, Waterton Canyon and the 460-mile Colorado Trail. Sorry, no dogs are allowed.
- Ringtail Trail
The 7.2-mile Ringtail Trail on Douglas County Open Space and the Pike National Forest connects the Sharptail Trail and Swallowtail Loops to the Indian Creek Trail on National Forest Land. Horses and hikers only if accessing from Sharptail Trail. Hikers, horses, mountain bikes, and dogs on-leash may access from the Indian Creek Trail.
- Swallowtail Trail
Find these two spectacular trial loops totaling 2.6 miles, hidden behind the rocky hogback. Take the Sharptail Trail for 4.6 miles to access them, or hike in from Roxborough State Park. Only horses and hikers may access from the Sharptail Trailhead. Hikers, horses, mountain bikes, and dogs on-leash may access from the Indian Creek Trail.
The 8.5-mile Spruce Meadows Trail winds through grassy meadows between Greenland Open Space and Spruce Mountain. The trail cuts through undulating fields of grasses and wildflowers. Enjoy views of surrounding buttes, Pikes Peak, Spruce Mountain and the Rampart Range, as well as Carpenter Creek and thousands of acres of protected open space. The trail crosses over (or under) Spruce Mountain Road twice at marked crossings, and crosses over Noe Road twice before looping back to the parking area.
Spruce Mountain Trail
The Spruce Mountain Trail gently switchbacks up Spruce Mountain through a ponderosa pine and Douglas fir forest up to fabulous rocky overlooks and a loop around the fairly-flat, forested mountaintop. The first lookout offers breathtaking views of Greenland Open Space, surrounding buttes, Pikes Peak, the Palmer Divide, Carpenter Creek and thousands of acres of protected open space. There are plenty of opportunities to gaze off rocky lookouts, ridges and meadows from over 8 miles of trails. Bring your camera. For variety, descend on the service road, hike the loop to the west, and travel back along the Eagle Pass trail.

Neufeld, Kornelius H. (1892-1957)
K. H. Neufeld immigrated to Canada in 1923 and in 1924 established a printing business in Winkler, Manitoba. His passion for choral music soon became evident. He organized a choir of immigrants in 1924, became conductor of the Winkler Bergthaler Choir in 1928 and the Altona Bergthaler Choir in 1933. In 1935 he organized the Winkler Male Voice Choir. In the beginning he worked within his own Mennonite Brethren Church but was accepted more readily by groups like the Bergthaler Church in Manitoba and the Rosenorter Church in Saskatchewan.
He was especially well known for his choral festivals, which he organized first in Manitoba and, after 1935, in provinces from Ontario to British Columbia and in a number of states in the United States. He was also instrumental in establishing the Southern Manitoba Music Festival in 1932. Beginning in 1944 and continuing until 1956, Neufeld was engaged by the Manitoba Mennonite Youth Organization to undertake systematic work in music in Manitoba General Conference Mennonite churches during the summers. He taught at the Swift Current Bible Institute during the winters of 1953 and 1954. Neufeld composed four cantatas for his own use at choral festivals in the 1950s and assembled collections of choral music he entitled "Singet dem Herrn."
Known as the "Wandering Conductor from Winkler," K. H. Neufeld had a profound influence on the development of church choirs and choral music in the prairie provinces, especially in congregations and communities established by immigrants in the 1870s (Kanadier), fostering a love for choral music in thousands of Mennonite young people.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- The notion defies logic. Iowa had not led for a single second all night long. The guy who was single-handedly carrying the offense was gone with a nasty leg cramp. The deficit was four and time was running out.
Somehow, that meant the Hawkeyes had Xavier right where they wanted.
Never led in regulation, never trailed in overtime, and still unbeaten. Such is the story for No. 23 Iowa, which rallied from a 15-point, second-half deficit to beat Xavier 77-74 in overtime at the Battle 4 Atlantis quarterfinals Thursday night.
"You know what's interesting about our team, and I mean this sincerely, we've got so many different players who can score," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.
The Hawkeyes needed them all, too.
Devyn Marble scored 30 points before leaving with a right leg cramp, a problem that affected Xavier standout Semaj Christon as well. The converted ballroom that serves as the arena for this event has a low ceiling, hot lights and it was packed with people seated not far from the floor. So yes, even indoors -- and on a relatively cool day in the Bahamas -- the elements were a factor.
Iowa (6-0) handled them all. Zach McCabe scored 11 points, and Gabriel Olaseni had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Hawkeyes. Aaron White's 10-point night ended with a clutch tip-in with 1:40 left in overtime, and the Hawkeyes held on from there.
"Coach trusted us," Olaseni said.
Xavier (5-1) had three 3-point tries all bounce off the rim in the final 10 seconds. Justin Martin led the Musketeers with 15 points, Christon added 14, Myles Davis scored 12 and Matt Stainbrook finished with 11.
Iowa will meet either Tennessee or Texas-El Paso in Friday's semifinals, with Xavier facing the other in the consolation round.
Xavier led by 15 early in the second half and wasted it all. The Musketeers had 55 points in the first 28 minutes of regulation, then 14 in the final 12 minutes before the extra session.
"The wheels fell off," Xavier coach Chris Mack said.
That they did, even though Iowa was making life pretty easy on the Musketeers. The Hawkeyes missed 13 of their first 15 shots of the second half, and even gave Xavier two bonus points during intermission. As the teams were leaving the floor for halftime, McCaffery earned a technical foul for arguing with the referees, so 37-30 became 39-30 after a pair of free throws before the second half started.
Xavier's lead was 55-42 with 12 minutes left. That's when Iowa remembered to start putting the ball through the hole.
A 3-pointer by Marble, a dunk from White and another 3 from Marble -- all in the span of about 70 seconds -- got Iowa right back into things. Another stop led to a possession where Marble hit a pair of free throws with 8:09 left, and Melsahn Basabe's dunk in transition capped a 12-0 run that drew Iowa within 55-54.
Xavier pushed the lead back to six, with Stainbrook getting a three-point play and assisting on another basket, before Iowa closed within one yet again.
With 2:06 left in regulation and Iowa down four, the Hawkeyes figured to have lost their best shot at a comeback.
Marble, who was getting his right calf worked on during at least one previous timeout because of cramping, went down near his team's bench because of another cramp, writing and screaming in obvious pain.
He had 30 of Iowa's 63 points at the time, and without him, the Hawkeyes' comeback chore figured to get considerably tougher.
No Marble?
No problem, somehow.
Olaseni made a pair of free throws, Mike Gesell hit a 10-footer with 1:40 left after a turnover, and Iowa had finally tied the game. Both teams wound up missing chances at the end of regulation and to the extra session they went, tied at 69-all.
"We have nothing to complain about," Stainbrook said. "It was a tough game. ... Just got to change our mission to go 2-1 (in the Bahamas) now."
Before the game was 4 minutes old, Iowa was facing what was its biggest deficit of the season.
Christon had a pair of early dunks for Xavier, the Hawkeyes came out cold, and it was 11-2 Musketeers right out of the gate. In Iowa's first five games, the largest lead by any opponent was seven points.
"Iowa's a veteran team," Mack said. "We fought tooth and nail. ... We had our chances to win."

IT'S 20 years since Frenchman Philippe Mouchel came to Melbourne with the task of opening a restaurant for celebrated chef Paul Bocuse at the Daimaru department store.
Two decades have passed, but many Melburnians remember what they ate at the Mouchel-helmed Bocuse.
Former Sunday Age restaurant reviewer Geoff Slattery wrote this year: ''I felt heaven just a few times - and always when eating at the table of Philippe Mouchel.''
Mouchel went on to cook at Langton's, Liberte in Sydney and The Brasserie by Philippe Mouchel.
Slattery has gone on to publish Mouchel's cookbook and Mouchel now fronts a new restaurant, P M 24, with the Press Club Group.
He can be spotted there most days, hovering over the pass in black chef's garb, inspecting each dish as it goes to an enthusiastic, and often full, house.
He's a chef's chef, respected by his peers as well as his patrons, and becomes the inaugural winner of the legend award.
It's bestowed on someone whose contribution to both their industry and Victoria's diners proves they're at the top of their game.

The club have insisted that the rumours surrounding any transfer of the 24-year-old are untrue and he will remain at the Stade de Gerland this summer
Rumours of his departure have swirled with the transfer window rapidly approaching but the French side have said that the defensive midfielder - linked with the likes of Napoli and Arsenal in recent weeks - will not be leaving as he is a key part of their future plans.
"Olympique Lyonnais were very surprised to read in L'Equipe this morning that we would set a transfer figure for Maxime Gonalons and that it would be more than €12 million," the statement on the club's official website read.
"The club have no intention of parting with our captain and this is a matter of clear strategy, namely the further development of our club around our best young players from the academy of which Maxime Gonalons is one of the best examples.
"The club therefore deny any contact and any negotiations with Napoli and regret any suggestion otherwise, as suggested in this newspaper."
Gonalons started 35 of 38 games for Lyon this season and played the full 90 in each of those matches.
The 24-year-old, who has been at the Ligue 1 club since the age of 10, has picked up six caps for France to date.

Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Ryan Malone, Victor Hedman, Teddy Purcell and Nate Thompson will all shave their heads to raise money for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and the Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at All Children's Hospital.
So the players each have until Friday May 6th to meet their fundraising goal*. But the actual head-shaving will take place on April 7th at 5:30pm at the Pepin Hospitality Center. I'm not sure why this runs past the actual event or if that is just a typo....but it's for a good cause, so I'll make allowances on their news release not making much sense.
To donate, go to the www.fastercure.org or www.pcfcutforacure.org. DO IT
*No idea if they have to meet their fundraising goal in order to shave their heads, but I assume they will do it no matter what

text: Have been wanting to slug one barrel I have just for my own information, Being that A: I am cheap B: Way too much time on my hands C: I pack rat just about everything. I was using my high temp glue gun today and looked over at molds I have, my wife had asked about making some RB's up so she could make ear thingiees for her. Lead 54cal is way to heavy, so I cast up several with the hot glue gun and it works great. Then the idea about slugging the barrel entered the mind. Used a 3/8" thick felt polishing disc from my Dremel set I put a strong but thin wire through the center and pressed it down the barrel of a 45cal Colonial I have. Only pressed the disc in about 3/4" and stuck tip of glue gun and filled it full. About one min cooling time and pulled out perfect slug. No residue left and it does not adhere to the metal at all. Will attempt to make a deeper and longer casting just to get a better reading. Who knows it might be worth something.

Fair enough. I agree with most of your sentiments but I would like to hope Pritchard and Walsh have an idea of what they're doing.Quote:
If you've read some of my other posts, you'd understand.
-Hate the Plumlee pick. As I'm sure there were a lot of fans that felt the same.
-Gave DC away for nothing. Just a dumb move. Small market teams shouldn't be giving away assets. DC is a fringe starter, excellent backup. You can't tell me that's not worth something.
-Hill is way overpaid. Should have let the market dictate his salary just like Hibbs. I just don't see how a small combo guard would have gotten $8M from another team.
-Pacers blew through the offseason in like 4 days. If they'd had asked Hibbs/Hill to hold off signing till after the amnesty period, I can only imagine that the Pacers could have Scola or Brand, which would have been a huuuuuuuuge upgrade.
-While I'm glad the Pacers got Augustin, this is a latteral move IMO. What makes it a bad move is that he costs more than DC and we don't get his bird rights.
-I like the Ian signing. I'm not complaining at $4M cause that doesn't seem much for a backup.
-Like the Green signing.
Sure the bench is better. The overall long term costs could really hurt the Pacers though by over paying for Hill and the cost of Hibbert (though I think it was the right move to match, it's still a lot of money). All we heard from management is how they'll finally have money this offseason to go after free agents. In the end, they used most of it to just resign their own guys. So much for that.
So of course Pritchard has to spin it and sell it to the fans, cause many are upset. Other teams didn't have the kind of money the Pacers have and yet they were still able to get better. That's why I'm not very confident at the moment.
However, though I've been upset by the moves, I'm ready for the season to start and to root for these guys.

My doctor is suggesting Fraxel Restore for the area around my lips to reduce vertical lip lines. Can Fraxel only be done in selected area like this or will I end up with a different look to my skin or texture only doing one area and not the entire face?
Is there a another laser that might work better for these lines? The doctor's nurse is telling me to expect that I will have 10 days down time with the Re-store yet I am reading on this site that is not the case.

As others have said, the 6.5mm Rem Mag's bark was worse than its bite. Recoil was OK, but the muzzle blast out of the short barrel is stunning. I think Remington was trying to invent the short magnums when it started marketing the 600 and the later 660 and Mohawk rifles, the rifles were short action, short barreled, and the dog-leg bolt handle was just flat ugly. The standard calibers it was chambered for lost a bit of performance due to the short action and short barrels, but the magnum cartridges suffered much more due to deep bullet seating to fit the short action and velocity loss due to short barrels. In a longer barrel, performance for the 6.5mm Rem Mag is actually pretty good.
The only chambering in the 600 I can say recoil was bad on was the 350 Rem Mag, and muzzle blast and recoil were harsh in a 6 lbs rifle.
Never try to educate someone who resists knowledge at all costs.
But what do I know?

Safe Web Ratings Question
What percentage of unsafe sites does Safe Web actually flag as unsafe? When I do a Google search, most of the sites get a green check mark. I thought the unsafe percentage would be higher but I really don't know. Are most sites really safe?
Re: Safe Web Ratings Question
Hi Car825,
I don't have statistics on the actual percentage but the safe web rating is very accurate and if you look at the full report of things which are tested I think you will find that it is very thorough.
However, this only tells you that the website was safe at the time it was tested and the reality is that in today's world a website could be compromised at any time after the testing was completed. So you should always approach this with caution and practice safe surfing habits.
See example for Symantec's own website.
A green check mark does not guarantee that a website is safe so always be careful and be alert to anything which seems wrong. One thing you can be sure of is to stay away from websites which have a yellow or red rating. A ? means that the website has not been tested yet and my personal practice is to NOT visit those sites either. If you do visit a website with a ?, then approach with extra caution.
Another thing to be aware of is that websites which have been previously tested will get revisited over time. It is not a one time thing. Websites can be retested based on user reports of possible malware and is also based on Symantec's own internal criteria. Symantec does not advertise upon what criteria a website will be retested - for what should be obvious reasons.
Edit: One other thing I thought I would add in case you are not aware of it. A website does not generally get an initial test until it is requested by the website owner or Administrator so in general the initial testing of a website is probably going to have a tendancy to be clean initially. I've been told that a website can be tested without an owner request but I do not know under what criteria this will happen. If a "bad guy" puts up a website and requests testing by safe web he is going to make sure it really is clean that first time. So the retesting is key and as a user if you have good reason to believe a website has been compromised, you have a moral responsibility to notify safe web.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
Re: Safe Web Ratings Question
It all depends on what you search for. If you search for "free antivirus" or for "porn" most of the sites would be unsafe. However, if you search for "rocket launch" or "nasa" most of the site would be safe.

I have a website that was rated early on in the Safe Web program before I even knew about it, and it is a small, less-often-visited site. So when I see others having to request a review, I guess I was just lucky in the draw.

Actually, that is not true about porn sites. Studies have shown that porn sites are statistically safer than non-porn sites. There is big money in porn and purveyors do not want to be losing customers by infecting their machines with malware.
As for NASA sites being safe, that is also not true. The latest malicious hack was only two weeks ago::
Any site has a potential to be hacked. Generalizations about safe or unsafe sites are no longer meaningful, other than to say that popular sites present a more attractive target to hackers, which is why Norton has devised a special scan for Facebook.
Re: Safe Web Ratings Question
That I didn't know. I was under the impression that porn=virus. But anyways, it all depends on what you search for that determines the amount of dangerous sites that appear.
Re: Safe Web Ratings Question
Bad example because google equals free antivirus to reputable companies like AVG and avira. Try googling "free screensavers" and by the time you get to the second page you will start seeing a couple of dangerous sites.

Nobody really knows

I agree with you. If most of the websites are green then how does one get infected even after accessing those green websites?
Re: Safe Web Ratings Question
Hi Folks,
As I mentioned earlier, a green rating is not a guarantee that a website is safe. A site can become infected at any time after it has been tested by safe web. Caution and digilence should always be employed when you are surfing the web.
Also bear in mind that the rating is only one piece of the protection. Norton is always running in real time and checking for known threats and other signs of malicious activity.
I myself have clicked on links before with a green rating and had NIS throw up a full page block because it detected something in real time and blocked the threat.
With all the "bad guys" out there constantly writing new malware and changing existing malware to cirumvent your security software there is always a chance that something will slip through Norton's radar and infect your computer. But with safe surfing habits, keeping Windows updated regularly, updating key programs like Adobe, JAVA, etc and keeping your Norton software up to date at all times, you can reduce the risk of infection dramatically.
In 20 years I have had only 2 infections, one very minor and the other was medium.
With all the new malware coming out all the time, this is why things like SONAR (behavioral analysis) is so important in today's world. Sure SONAR can have FP's sometimes but without it to assist the traditional scanning, there would be far more infections making it to people's computers.
Best wishes.
Re: Safe Web Ratings Question
> Are most sites really safe? This is the original question that started the thread.
Of course. Do the math. Most people are honest. Only a small percentage are criminals. That translates to webpages also.
But, just like "traditional crime", if it's your browser that gets attacked it can create a major problem for you.
> It all depends on what you search for.
Exactly. There's an old saying: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
> Generalizations about safe or unsafe sites are no longer meaningful
Here's a generalization that I believe is true.
I use Google _advanced search_ because it allows me more control over the search (i.e., number of results, phrase, unwanted words, etc) and produces fewer, more relevant results.
Under the "Date, usage rights, numeric range and more" link on the advanced search page, I select Region -> United States.
NIS' red caution symbol is definitely _more_ common when results from _all countries_ is used (which is the default unless you select this option). Which doesn't mean it's frequent.

Mike Partyka's 1931 Model A Ford truck. An amazing build that incorporates classic dirty rat styling with some key modern touches. This build stands out with massive, black powder coated Bonspeed billet wheels that are twisted over the asphalt by a 600hp beast of an engine. It's rusty body misleads you from the high caliber construction underneath. Copper and anodized-gold highlights are hidden throughout as well as the sleuth incorporation of the air tank actually being the rear frame section of the Ford.
This rat is a monster that demands to be let out of it's cage.

PREVAIL U.S. was designed as a superiority trial for the primary endpoint, LDL-C reduction, and evaluated the adult population age 18-80 with primary hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia. LIVALO 4 mg showed superior LDL-C reduction compared with pravastatin 40 mg after 12 weeks of therapy.The study did not compare LIVALO 4 mg with pravastatin 80 mg.[1]
Data for secondary endpoints showed LIVALO 4 mg reduced apolipoprotein B (Apo-B), non-HDL-C, and total cholesterol compared with pravastatin 40 mg and improved high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG).[1] In addition, the effect of LIVALO and pravastatin on individual lipoprotein particles was evaluated as a pre-specified exploratory analysis using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. LIVALO showed significantly greater reductions in total LDL particle (LDL-P) concentration and increases in HDL particle (HDL-P) concentration and size.[2]
"We are very pleased with the results of PREVAIL U.S., which are consistent with previous trials evaluating LIVALO's effect on LDL-C reduction," said Dr. Craig Sponseller, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. "Although the clinical relevance of these data require further study, these data are important as they represent the first of such particle analysis with LIVALO."
PREVAIL U.S. study investigator, Dr. Kari Uusinarkaus, Fellow of the National Lipid Association, and Associate Medical Director, Adult Primary Care and Disease Management Departments, Colorado Springs Health Partners, explains, "We continue to research and pursue a greater understanding on the effect of lipid-modifying agents, particularly statins, on lipoprotein particles and the use of direct measures of particle number and size in advancing our clinical assessment of dyslipidemia and its treatment."
About the Study
In the 12-week, Phase 4, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study, 328 adults meeting the established profile for inclusion were randomly assigned to receive once-daily morning doses of LIVALO 4 mg or pravastatin 40 mg.[1] Full lipid panels and lipoprotein particle assessments using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were performed on blood samples drawn on Day 1 and following the final dose at 12 weeks.[2]
The data were presented in two posters at the NLA meeting. In the first poster, "Pitavastatin 4 mg is Superior to Pravastatin 40 mg in LDL-C Reduction: Results from PREVAIL U.S. Trial in Primary Hyperlipidemia or Mixed Dyslipidemia," subjects treated with LIVALO 4 mg experienced a median percent reduction in LDL-C of 38.1% over the treatment period compared to a 26.4% median percent reduction in patients randomized to pravastatin 40 mg. LIVALO reduced total cholesterol by 25.8%, with pravastatin showing a total cholesterol reduction of 18.3%. LIVALO treated patients experienced a significant 26.9% reduction in Apo B compared with a 17.7% reduction associated with pravastatin.[1]
In the second poster, "Pitavastatin 4 mg Significantly Reduces LDL-P and Increases HDL Size Compared with Pravastatin 40 mg: Results from PREVAIL U.S.," the pre-specified, exploratory objective was to evaluate LIVALO 4 mg vs. pravastatin 40 mg on lipoprotein particle concentrations and size. LIVALO 4 mg significantly reduced the concentration of LDL-P by 517.0 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) compared with 396.0 nmol/L for pravastatin 40 mg (p<0.001). Both LIVALO and pravastatin increased HDL-P with a mean percent change in HDL-P of 9.59% versus 7.03%, respectively (p=0.045). Significant increases in HDL size, and small HDL, as well as significant decreases in VLDL-P and IDL-P were also noted for LIVALO compared with pravastatin over the 12-week study period. Improvement was observed in Apo A1, medium and large HDL for both agents, but were not statistically different between treatment arms. Additional studies are needed to better understand the clinical impact.[2]
No clinically important differences in the safety profiles were observed between LIVALO and pravastatin in PREVAIL U.S. The overall incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar between treatment groups (47.6% for LIVALO and 44.5% for pravastatin), and most events were mild or moderate in severity. The most frequently reported drug-related TEAEs were muscle spasms and myalgia (each of which occurred at an incidence of 1.8% for LIVALO and 1.2% for pravastatin).[1]
About LIVALO
LIVALO is a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor indicated for patients with primary hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia as an adjunctive therapy to diet to reduce elevated total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), triglycerides (TG), and to increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
Limitations of Use:
In addition to being launched in the U.S. in June 2010, LIVALO is also approved in Japan (2003), South Korea (2005), Thailand (2007), China (2008), European Union (2010), Taiwan (2011), Mexico (2009) and Australia (2010).
About Primary Hyperlipidemia and Mixed Dyslipidemia
Primary Hyperlipidemia is defined as an elevation of cholesterol, particularly "bad" cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), or both. Mixed dyslipidemia is usually characterized by an elevation of LDL-C, TG, and a decrease in the "good" cholesterol (HDL-C) in the blood.
Important Safety Information for LIVALO® (pitavastatin) Tablets
LIVALO is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to product components, in patients with active liver disease (which may include unexplained persistent elevations in hepatic transaminase levels), in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, in nursing mothers, or in coadministration with cyclosporine.
Skeletal Muscle Effects
Cases of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure secondary to myoglobinuria have been reported with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, including LIVALO.
Liver Enzyme Abnormalities
Increases in serum transaminases have been reported with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, including LIVALO.
Endocrine Function
Increases in HbA1c and fasting serum glucose levels have been reported with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, including LIVALO.
In short-term controlled studies, the most frequent adverse reactions reported by >/=2% of patients treated with LIVALO 1 mg, 2 mg, and 4 mg, respectively, and at a rate >/= placebo were back pain (3.9%, 1.8%, 1.4% vs 2.9%), constipation (3.6%, 1.5%, 2.2% vs 1.9%), diarrhea (2.6%, 1.5%, 1.9% vs 1.9%), myalgia (1.9%, 2.8%, 3.1% vs 1.4%), and pain in extremity (2.3%, 0.6%, 0.9% vs 1.9%).

Second Round of Stabilization Dollars Latest Boost to Boston's Aggressive Neighborhood Stabilization Track Record
Mayor Thomas M. Menino today announced that the City's Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) has been awarded $13.6 million in the second round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funding to assist the City's ongoing foreclosure prevention and reclamation efforts. Specifically, the competitively awarded funding will allow the City to support responsible redevelopment of up to 275 foreclosed homes in those neighborhoods most burdened by Boston's bank-owned properties, namely Dorchester, East Boston, Roxbury, Hyde Park, and Mattapan.
"This award accelerates our ability to impact the foreclosure challenges that we're facing. We're making important progress, but our neighborhoods are still in danger," said Mayor Menino. "I want to thank Senators Kerry and Kirk, as well as Congressmen Capuano and Lynch for their continued support of Boston's neighborhoods. And, in particular, I want acknowledge Congressman Frank for his tireless advocacy on the issue of foreclosure."
Boston was one 482 total applicants requesting over $15 billion from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in foreclosure funding. Since passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) nearly one year ago, of which this foreclosure funding is part, the City has received close to $280 million in formula and competitive grants as well as bond allocations.
The NSP initiative was created as part of the "Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008," designed to boost local economies through the provision of resources to purchase and rehab foreclosed homes. The City of Boston was allocated $4.23 million last winter in this first funding round, and subsequently received a matching grant from state of Massachusetts' share of NSP funding. The latest award brings Boston's total federal foreclosure funding to more than $21 million.
With these new NSP funds, the City believes it can greatly expand its efforts to acquire, renovate and return many of the 860 derelict foreclosed homes back to productive use and get them into the hands of responsible owners. These new resources will also enable the City to significantly expand its first-in-the-nation initiative to buy foreclosed homes before the tenants are evicted. Originally launched with Bank of America, the initiative now also includes Fannie Mae and Wells Fargo Bank with the National Community Stabilization Trust.
"The City of Boston has been in the forefront of efforts to reclaim foreclosed properties and put them back to productive use," remarked Aaron Gorstein, Executive Director of Citizens Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA). "We look forward to continuing our work in partnership with the Mayor to provide desperately needed affordable housing for Boston residents."
The award significantly enhances the City's Homeownership Stabilization campaign – an $18 million initiative announced last summer by Mayor Menino targeted at helping Boston's homeowners overcome the problems that come with declining values and rising foreclosures.
The campaign seeks to allow Boston's neighborhoods to recoup from the nationwide foreclosure crisis through targeted programs that support existing homeowners while adding new buyers to the market, among other things. Under the umbrella of this initiative, DND has overseen the direct acquisition of 33 units of housing, and is in the process of negotiating the purchase of more than 100 others from banks.

New drug could save horses' lives [video]Alonso Guedeseuthanasiaexperimental druglaminitis
An experimental drug shows promise for treating horses with laminitis, a very painful and life-threatening disease that often results in euthanasia.
"This is an unusual step for us to announce this so far in advance, but because euthanasia is often the only way to alleviate pain in severe laminitis, we felt that it was important to let the veterinarians and horse owners know that this compound has shown potential as a treatment," says Alonso Guedes, an assistant professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine at University of California, Davis.

->''"Evil gets an upgrade."''
The tenth ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' film. And it's [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]]
After racking up well over ''two hundred'' murders, Jason Voorhees is finally captured by the United States government, which puts him under full lockdown. Every possible method of execution fails to kill him for good, so the government decides to put Jason in cryogenic suspension until someone can figure out what to do with him. Thanks to the interference (and general incompetence) of those who wanted [[MainliningTheMonster to keep him unfrozen and study his regenerative capabilities]], Jason almost escapes captivity -- until Rowan, the scientist in charge of deep-freezing the Crystal Lake Killer, manages to lock him up in a cryogenic chamber, but at the cost of her own life... only not...
Because 400 years later, a group of students from the spaceship Grendel find the frozen pair during an archaeological trip to the now-abandoned Earth and bring them on board. While the crew revives Rowan via advanced medical technology, Jason thaws out on his own during an autopsy. Once he rises from the operating table, he starts killing everyone he can find -- but the future has a few twists in store for Mr. Voorhees...
'''''Jason X''''' closes out the original ''Friday the 13th'' film franchise continuity as started by ''Film/FridayThe13th1980''. From this point, it branches off into two different continuations of their own:
A series of comics from Creator/AvatarPress:
* ''Comicbook/JasonXSpecial'' (2005)
* ''Comicbook/FridayThe13thJasonVsJasonX'' (2006)
A novel series by Black Flame (which also did the film's {{Novelization}})
* ''Jason X: The Experiment'' (2005)
* ''Jason X: Planet of the Beast'' (2005)
* ''Jason X: Death Moon'' (2005)
* ''Jason X: To the Third Power'' (2006)
!! ''Jason X'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AbsoluteCleavage: Janessa.
* AnArmAndALeg:
** Thanks to Azrael's bumbling, frozen Jason falls and cuts his arm off.
** Later, Jason loses an arm and a leg during his first fight against Kay-Em 14.
* AutoDoc: The nanotech-equipped sickbay can heal pretty much any injury.
* BadassNormal: Brodski. He managed to take Jason down - even if it was at the cost of his own life.
* BareYourMidriff: Kinsa and Adrienne.
* BarrierBustingBlow: Jason attacks Brodski by grabbing him through a wall.
* BigNo: Adrienne's last words.
* BigShutUp: Lowe to the panicking students when Jason is trying to get through a door.
* BloodlessCarnage: Jason crashes Azrael and Dallas in the middle of a VR gaming session, and [[MacheteMayhem does what he does best]], however, they don't seem to be fazed by the maniac slicing them to pieces, and despite being diced, they neither bleed nor die nor show any pain. Then they [[RageQuit end the simulation in frustration]], at which point [[AvertedTrope Jason realizes -- and rectifies -- his mistake.]]
* BrainsAndBondage: Prof. Lowe's and Janessa's "discussion" about her midterm is her applying a nipple clamp to him.
* BreakTheCutie: An extreme version happens with Kinsa, perhaps the most realistic depiction of how someone would react when trapped in a confined space with a mass murderer. After the deaths of her boyfriend and many others, she goes completely nuts and locks herself in the ship's only shuttle. Then she launches the shuttle without undocking it; this kills her, screws up the remaining crew's only means of escape, and irreparably damages the Grendel.
* BuffySpeak: Azrael describing Jason's cryogenic chamber.
-->'''Lowe''': Someone tell me what that is?
-->'''Azrael''': Like a... big kinda... frozen storage thing?
* BulletholeDoor: Kay-Em shoots one for Jason, so she'll have an easier time kicking him through a wall.
* CallBack: The death of the VR girls calls back to the sleeping bag murder in ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood''.
* CameBackStrong: Kay-Em manages to kill Jason, but the AutoDoc repairs and upgrades him, making him that much more unkillable.
* CaptainObvious: Rowan after she's told that the year is 2455.
-->'''Rowan:''' 2455? That's over 400 years.
* ChainedByFashion: Jason is shackled to start the movie, as he is being prepared for cryogenic stasis. He breaks free of the chains (though the film does not show him doing so), and continues to wear the broken shackles on his ankles and wrists for the rest of the movie.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Perez tells Lowe that he could make a lot of money with Jason's corpse with a "right buyer".
* CranialProcessingUnit: Kay-Em 14 is used this way after Jason knocks her head off.
* DeadpanSnarker: Janessa
* DeathBySex: Stoney dies moments after having sex with Kinsa.
* DroolHello: Happens to Dallas during a VR game.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Brodski tackles Jason into Earth 2's atmosphere, burning them both to ash and killing off Jason for good.]]
* EyeScream: When Jason is lying supposedly dead and being examined by Adrienne, she removes one of his eyes. [[NauseaFuel His bad one.]]
* FinalGirl: Rowan, on two separate occasions:
** Rowan manages to stop Jason's onslaught at the start of the movie by trapping him in a chamber and freezing him, though she ends up getting frozen too when he punctures the chamber wall with his machete.
** Hundreds of years later, Rowan and Jason are brought onto a spaceship by unsuspecting students and they both come back to life when they thaw from their frozen state. Needless to say, it doesn't take long for Jason to start slashing his way through the spaceship. Once again, Rowan is the last girl left remaining... not counting Kay-Em 14, a female robot who lost her body, of course.
* FromBadToWorse: Jason, the epitome of ImplacableMan and {{Determinator}}, has just received cybernetic upgrades after seemingly being destroyed. Now, instead of high-powered bullets knocking him back only slightly, they bounce off of him like he's {{Superman}}. Plus [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace he can breathe in the void of space.]] Yeah, you are seriously fucked now.
* GaiasLament
-->'''Lowe:''' Not much longer and we'll be at Earth Two.\\
'''Rowan:''' Earth Two? What happened to Earth One?\\
'''Lowe:''' It's dead. The oceans, the soil, neither will sustain life.
* GenreShift: From Horror to Sci-Fi.
* GreatOffscreenWar: Crutch tells Waylander that he's lucky he wasn't alive during the "Microsoft Conflict".
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Played for laughs when Jason is lured into a holographic simulation designed to provoke him. By the time we cut back to Jason and a pair of (virtual) bubble-headed sexually promiscuous drug-and-alcohol-abusing female campers, Jason has somehow forced them back into their sleeping bags and is furiously using one to bludgeon the other. Made even funnier by the girls in the bags simply exclaiming, "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
* GunsAkimbo / GangstaStyle: Kay-Em's apparent favorite mode of attack.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Happens to Kicker.
* HealingFactor: Jason is revealed to have one. This gives an explanation why he looks different in every movie, [[RuleOfCool but we all know better]]. This also explains why he retains his eyes and eyesight after [[EyeScream being stabbed in the eye a few times]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Brodski sacrifices himself in the climax to push Jason into the atmosphere of Earth Two, burning them both up]].
* HotScientist: Rowan.
* HumanPopsicle: Both Rowan and Jason after her plan to freeze him goes awry.
* IWantThemAlive: Lowe, hoping to sell Jason to a potential buyer to pay off his debt after hearing of his killing spree, tells Brodski and his men to capture Jason alive. As soon as Lowe is out of earshot, Brodski blatantly tells his men that they're just going to kill Jason, and to "[[OnlyAFleshWound put one in his leg]]" so they can say they tried.
* IWasBornReady:
-->'''Tsunaron:''' Are you ready?\\
'''Kay-Em 14:''' I was built ready, baby.
* IWouldSayIfICouldSay: After Jason is (apparently) finally destroyed, the bodiless Kay-Em declares, "I'd clap if I could".
* IceBreaker: After waking up in the future, Jason dunks Adrienne's head into liquid nitrogen, and then smashes her frozen face on the table.
* JustThinkOfThePotential: Jason is finally captured by the Feds after having killed a couple hundred people over the years. Some military folks actually ''want to keep Jason alive so they can figure out how to reproduce his [[NighInvulnerability invincibility]]'' [[IdiotBall .... yeah, doesn't work as planned.]]
* JuxtaposedHalvesShot: The poster parts [[VillainBasedFranchise Jason]] into his [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil normal and cyborg halves]] with his new "machete" which shows the reflection of [[TheProtagonist Rowan]] [[FinalGirl screaming]].
* KubrickStare: Brodski gives one to Jason before Grendel blows up.
* LampshadeHanging: The virtual topless teen girls, big time.
-->'''VR teen girl #1:''' Hey, do you want a beer?\\
'''VR teen girl #2:''' Or do you wanna smoke some pot?\\
'''VR teen girl #1:''' Or we can have premarital sex?\\
'''Both of them:''' We ''love'' premarital sex!
* LosingYourHead:
** Kay-Em 14, justified because she's a robot.
** Along with Dallas during the VR session.
* MadeOfIron: Brodski, as lampshaded by Tsunaron. He took two stabs to the torso and still had it in him to fight.
* MindScrewdriver: Previous films hint at a supernatural origin to Jason's powers, but it's never stated just what. Here it's explicitly stated that he has a healing factor ala Wolverine.
* MsFanservice: The female cast, especially Janessa.
* MurderByMistake: Jason accidentally causes a destruction of ''a space station''.
* MusicalisInterruptus: Jason's defeat at Kay-Em's hands uses this. After she clearly has the upper-hand, his theme music plays each time he gets back up, and immediately stops when she puts another hole in him.
* MythologyGag: The 1980 Crystal Lake simulation. See Lampshade Hanging.
* {{Nanomachines}}: These things fix people up in the future. By the end of the movie they go haywire and give the defeated Jason [[ArtificialLimbs artificial limbs and head]].
* NeckLift: Jason lifts Azrael by the neck, intending to kill him. However, Dallas gets his attention, giving Azrael a chance to escape.
* NeckSnap: Jason does it to Sven, one of the marines searching for him. Unlike most neck snaps which go quick and fast, Jason slowly takes his sweet time with it.
** It was actually a ThrowItIn that Creator/KaneHodder suggested on the day of shooting the scene as he thought it'd be more something Jason would do.
* NoodleIncident: What caused the Earth to be inhabitable and hockey to be outlawed in 2024?
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Kay-Em does quite a number on Jason.
* NonLinearSequel: ''Jason X'' (2002) takes place after ''Freddy vs. Jason'' (2003).
* OneWingedAngel: Jason being upgraded into Uber Jason.
* PrecisionFStrike
-->'''Brodski:''' What the hell is going on?\\
'''Rowan:''' Jason fucking Voorhees, that's what's going on!
* {{Pun}}: Condor, one of the soldiers aboard the ''Grendel'', is killed after Jason knocks him from a ledge and he's impaled by a large, rotating drill, after which he rotates around as his body slides down the thread. Geko finds Condor's body, and reports his condition over the radio:
-->'''Geko:''' ... he's screwed.
** Not to mention Janessa, before getting "sucked" out of the airlock: "This sucks on so many levels!" Doubles as possible LampshadeHanging.
* RasputinianDeath: The government tried numerous methods of executing Jason, none of which worked. Kay-Em puts him through the ringer and blows up his head, but the AutoDoc fixed that. [[spoiler:Planetary re-entry seems to finally do him in.]]
* RecycledInSpace
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Jason has a pair when turned into a cyborg.
* RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain: Jason is finally killed by blowing up his head. Unfortunately, the medical nanobots gave him a new one [[CameBackStrong and some spiffy armor plating]] so that trick wouldn't work twice.
* RobotGirl: Kay-Em 14.
* RockBeatsLaser: Despite the futuristic weaponry and technology, Jason is able to murder his way through an entire squad of space marines even before his upgrade using only a knife. Subverted with Kay-Em 14 once she gets her upgrade, who's able to curbstomp him until he also gets an upgrade.
* ScaryBlackMan: Sgt. Brodski, but really the only person who should be scared of him is [[spoiler: Jason.]]
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Lowe wants to sell Jason to pay off his debts, and offers Brodski a lot of money to keep him in tact. Brodski isn't having any of that.
* SealedEvilInACan: This was the plan for Jason in the beginning. Since every method of execution failed to work, they'd freeze him and figure it out later. Then the government [[JustThinkOfThePotential got ideas]] and things went to hell.
* {{Sexbot}}: The gynoid is implied to be her owner's sexual partner, although she proves more useful as an ActionGirl after she gets [[TookALevelInBadass Upgraded To Badass]].
* SexForServices: Janessa seduces her professor and engages in kinky sex to ensure she passes her midterm.
* ShoutOut: Various ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' references are present, including a character named Dallas. The film itself seems like a loose, D-list remake of ''Film/{{Aliens}}''. For instance, FinalGirl Rowan's story seems very reminiscent to that of Ripley's, right down to defeating the antagonist once before, being frozen for a very long period of time, and then returning to a later generation of people who simply do not understand the dangers of the antagonist due to their lack of experience and this ultimately causes a lot of death and turmoil.
** One of the guns used by the space marines is called [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} BFG]].
** Jason is dismembered in the exact same way that Chucky is in ''Film/ChildsPlay.''
*** Kay-Em 14's dismantling of Jason also looks like a reference to the Black Knight scene from ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''.
** Adrienne is named after Adrienne King, who played Alice in [[Film/FridayThe13th1980 the first film]].
** Jason's mask in his "uber" form '''could''' serve as a shout-out to ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}} 3''.
* SlashedThroat: Geko's death.
* SlasherSmile: Kay-Em ''really'' enjoys dispatching Jason.
* SpaceIsNoisy
* SuperweaponSurprise: Moviedom's longest-running serial slasher got his ass handed to him by an gynoid who, prior to a combat-upgrade to her software, was just some nerd's {{Sexbot}} girlfriend. Yeah, of ''course'' he came back again, but that's gotta be humiliating!
* TakeMyHand: Rowan to Janessa when she's being sucked into the vacuum of space.
* TakingYouWithMe: Done spectacularly when Brodski [[spoiler:tackles Uber Jason into Earth II's atmosphere, burning both of them to a crisp.]]
* TooDumbToLive: Good God, where to begin...
** The United States government has attempted to execute Jason at least three times, with each method failing miserably? Let's leave him alone with one soldier guarding him, and then let's risk a number of innocent lives by keeping him alive, so we can study him.
** Brodski tells you not to take your eyes off Jason after you've ''seemingly'' defeated him? No problem, I'll just turn my back to Jaso--oh crap I'm dead.
** Hey, Jason has a blade in each hand, and he's got me cornered. He's also killed everyone else he's come across. Good time for me to turn around and put my back towards Jason to tell my shipmates that everything's ok--why is my head off of my shoulders?
--> "It's OK, he just wants his machete back!"
** "Azrael, get outta here!" Get outta here? I thought you meant jump on Jason's back, mess up your ability to get a clean shot at him, and then die when Jason snaps me in half like a twig.
** Kay-Em, a gynoid much more powerful and better in combat than any of us, just said we should run. The she got her head knocked off. Let's not run.
** Even Kay-Em herself... bullets don't phase Uber Jason at all. Maybe a kick will do it.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Uber Jason is supposed to be a plot twist. Yet it's even in the poster.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: A damaged medical station turns Jason into a {{cyborg}}, Uber Jason.
* VolleyingInsults: Tsunaron and Janessa trade barbs with each other before all hell breaks loose.
* WakeUpFighting: When Rowan is restored by the crew of Grendel, her first act after waking up is to punch Prof. Lowe.
* TheWorfBarrage: Uber Jason {{No Sell}}s Kay-Em's machine guns then her physical attacks just to demonstrate how screwed everyone is.
* WoundedGazelleGambit
-->'''Kay-Em:''' ''(SlasherSmile)'' '''GOTCHA!'''
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: The reaction by Rowan when she sees Jason approaching the escape shuttle. Then Brodski intervenes.
!!The novels contain examples of these tropes:
* ApocalypticLog: The space station crew in ''Planet of the Beast'' manages to acquire logs detailing Jason's rampage in Blackstar 13.
* BuryYourDisabled: The books ''Death Moon'' and ''To the Third Power'' both feature blind characters who get their [[OffWithHisHead heads chopped off]].
* FromASingleCell: A small hunk of Jason's flesh survived the re-entry to Earth Two, and it is used to restore him in ''The Experiment''.
* MedicalRapeAndImpregnate: In ''Planet of the Beast'', a drugged woman is impregnated with Jason's... genetic material.
* MindScrew: ''Death Moon'' is half coherent and half... not, [[FauxlosophicNarration having random meta and ranty parts]], scenes involving poorly explained concepts like Teknopriests, Akasha.net, reality hackers, etc. and what's the definition of a GainaxEnding where Jason starts fighting his past self for no immediately discernible reason.
* OrganDodge:
** The MadScientist du jour in ''Planet of the Beast'' gets his artificial arm ripped off.
** The trope is averted in the proceeding book, ''Death Moon'', where the latest MadScientist is stabbed in his fake eye, but Jason just drives the blade in deeper and deeper until it reaches the guy's brain.
* PerkyGoth: Bella Morte (real surname Morrison) in ''Planet of the Beast''.
* PresidentEvil: Despite appearing only briefly, the President in ''Death Moon'' is quite obviously a lunatic.
%%* PyroManiac: Blister in ''To the Third Power''.
* TraumaticCSection: A mad scientist [[MindScrew may or may not]] have done this to one of his test subjects
