Tim has the breaking news. Very curious when he injured it or if it was more of a wear and tear thing.
UPDATE 7:02p: Apparently the team discovered the injury before this past season but decided to wait to operate rather than losing all of 2011. Sports Illustrated's Will Carroll seems optimistic on the procedure.
Charlie Morton's surgery was the FAIL type that Brett Myers and others have had. Great return rate.

Conservation and Environment in Mexico: Monthly Updates
Monthly Updates from 2008
Constant rain and strong winds are the main characteristics that tell us that the Sea Turtle high season is reaching its peak. We have now reached 1,500 nests collected, surpassing by far the number of nests that we collected this time last year. A very impressive achievement considering that at this point last year we only had collected 1,080 nests.
The high season for turtles is here! With massive rains, lots of turtles coming out every night, lots of people around to help, and the addition of a brand new Quad bike to our equipment, we can only hope to obtain really good results by the end of this year.
As the year passes by the activities at the Tecoman Biological center are increasing day by day. The high season for the turtle Conservation program is practically around the corner, so the maintenance and equipment purchase is due to be in order as soon as possible.
By the end of the first trimester of the year, the activities at the Coastal conservation center have started to increase and the maintenance activities give the volunteers the opportunity to do some hard labor and at the same time join our conservation programs.
As this year passes by, all our efforts focus on the maintenance of our equipment in order to be ready for the start of the high season for turtles. The patrols also remain constant as the presence must be kept in the area, even though the number of turtles coming out to lay eggs is low.
By the middle of the Leather Back season we are really proud to report the collection of 16 nests so far, and we have already released our first offspring of this season. We were pleased with the survival rate of the buried hatchlings and on Monday 4th February we had the opportunity to release around 45 small leatherback turtles!

As noted here previously, with more than 90% of high-value buying decisions now starting with online research, it's imperative for companies to be "everywhere" online when buyers are looking for information about what they offer. Web presence optimization (WPO) is the art and science of maximizing online visibility. It's a super-set of SEO, encompassing owned, earned and paid media, or presence.
Consultants at b2b marketing and PR agency KC Associates have been doing WPO work for clients for nearly three years now. It was apparent early on to those of us on the WPO team that having the proper metrics for tracking and measuring web presence, especially over time, is critical to coordinating PR, SEO, content marketing, social media and advertising efforts to maximize online visibility for clients.
While there are many excellent tools available for social media and PR monitoring, SEO keyword research, website analytics, and other specific functions, there's nothing that provides a unified high-level view of web visibility to support strategic decision-making. So the team picked out the best of the "siloed" special purpose tools and built a sort of informal internal dashboard of metrics, many of which are custom, to help facilitate WPO efforts and to provide cohesive reporting for KCA clients.
Just this last fall, I shared information in a blog post about these WPO metrics and KCA published a white paper on the topic as well. That got people talking about WPO, and asking about WPO measurement, which was amplified after this post on the MarketingSherpa blog about the evolution of WPO.
As a result, KCA's Principal decided to spin-off its WPO intellectual property and commercialize its b2b WPO metrics dashboard through a new, completely independent entity, WPO Inc.
Recognizing the importance of WPO and Webbiquity's focus on web ubiquity, there will be an ongoing collaboration between the two organizations in order to share even more about WPO as it evolves—its metrics, tools, results, strategies, and more.
You can read more in the official announcement, and both KCA and Webbiquity would love to get your feedback.

The Hague Transavia Grand Slam | 15 - 20 juillet 2014
The Hague, The Netherlands, July 19, 2014 - With hot and dry weather conditions during the afternoon men's quarter-finals of the US$1-million Transavia Grand Slam presented by Bas Van de Goor Foundation, three of the four matches were extended to three sets to determine the lineup for the evening semi-final matches on Scheveningen beach.
With air temperature at 41°c (106°f) with 20 percent humidity, pairs from Brazil, Poland and United States advanced to semi-finals of the ninth FIVB World Tour event on the 2014 calendar where the finals will be played Sunday at The Hague Beach Stadium.
Top-seeded Phil Dalhausser and Sean Rosenthal of the United States avoided elimination as the American Olympians survived two match points by fifth-seeded Pablo Herrera/Adrian Gavira of Spain to post a 2-1 (21-19, 17-21 and 17-15) win in 50 minutes.
With the third and deciding set tied 15-15, two Dalhausser aces secured the win. "The difference between the two teams were the final points. We had two aces at the end. It was a close match. Herrera and Gavira served very well today,†said Rosenthal.
"The condition in the first set was hard because of the wind,†said Dalhausser as he and Rosenthal will be seeking their third-straight gold medal after topping the podium in Norway and Switzerland in the last two FIVB World Tour events. "The ball moves in the air. When the wind blows in your face you can serve hard."
When asked about playing third-seeded Alison Cerutti and Bruno Oscar Schmidt of Brazil in Saturday's second men's semi-final, Dalhausser said "last week we won in the final against them. It's a disadvantage because they will want to have revenge."
Posting the first two three-set victories were sixth-seeded Grzegorz Fijalek/Mariusz Prudel of Poland and eighth-seeded Emanuel Rego/Pedro Salgado of Brazil as the two teams will be meeting for the first-time this season. For the Poles, they will be competing in their second "final four†this season while Emanuel and Salgado have advanced to the semi-finals for the third time.
Fijalek and Prudel rallied from a narrow first set loss to 11th-seeded Nick Lucena and Ryan Doherty to score a 2-1 (19-21, 21-11 and 15-8) win in 47 minutes. Emanuel and Pedro out-lasted fourth-seeded and reigning FIVB World Tour champions Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins of Latvia 2-1 (23-21, 12-21 and 15-13) in 56 minutes on The Hague Beach Stadium court.
"We're mentally very strong,†said the 41-year old Emanuel, who is seeking his 77th FIVB World Tour gold medal and first with Salgado. "We're playing together a long time and we really trust each other while playing. That why we've won today.â€
For Salgado, who won the Transavia Grand Slam last season with Bruno Oscar Schmidt, said "it's time to win this grand slam. The game was very close with the Latvians in the first set and we lost the second set by a wide margin. It doesn't matter if you lose with 5-21 or 19-21, at the end it's all the same. They played very well but we stayed concentrated and focused throughout the game. I took a medical break because I was so tired.â€
In a two-setter, Alison and Bruno scored a 2-0 (22-20 and 21-19) win in 38 minutes over the seventh-seeded Jonathan Erdmann and Kay Matysik of Germany. For Bruno, it is the second-straight trip to a semi-final in The Hague as he and Salgado won the 2013 gold medal on Scheveningen by defeating Fijalek/Prudel in the semi-finals and Samoilovs/Smedins in the title match.
As a "prelude†to the 2015 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, the final day of the Transavia Grand Slam will be staged at the Scheveningen courts where the medal matches will be played Sunday at The Hague Beach Stadium. The final two teams in both gender's competition with be competing for the gold medals and a share of the $70,000 first-place prize for each winning team.
Following this week's event, the FIVB World Tour returns to the United States for the second-straight year as Long Beach in southern California hosts another $1-million event. The international circuit returns to Europe in August for stops in Austria (Klagenfurt, July 29-August 3) and Poland (Stare Jablonki, August 19-24).
Men's Quarter-final Quotes
Emanuel Rego, Brazil - "We're mentally very strong. We're playing together a long time and we really trust each other while playing. That why we've won today.â€
Pedro Salgado, Brazil - "It's time to win this grand slam. The game was very close with the Latvians in the first set and we lost the second set by a wide margin. It doesn't matter if you lose with 5-21 or 19-21, at the end it's all the same. They played very well but we stayed concentrated and focused throughout the game. I took a medical break because I was so tired. "I took a medical break because I was so tired.â€
Jan Smedins, Latvia - "We made too many mistakes. We're not stable enough to win the third set. The last couple of tournaments we didn't win a third set. I don't know why. We have to figure it out and we need to make some changes. We played very well in the second set. We had some good blocks, but in the third set we haven't had any blocks at all. We need to make more blocks in the third set and then we will win the set and the match. I love to play in The Hague. It is a great tournament and the weather is good. It is not too hot. The last years we had rain. So I'm happy with this kind of weather.â€
Aleksandrs Samoilovs, Latvia - "Our defense was not good enough today. We need to be more focused. And maybe we have to show less emotions. I know the crowd loves it, but it is good to have emotions when it is goes well and not when it goes wrong.â€
Phil Dalhausser, United States - "The condition in the first set was hard because of the wind. The ball moves in the air. When the wind blows in your face you can serve hard." In the next round Rosenthal and Dalhausser play against Brazilians Alison and Bruno. "Last week we won in the final against them. It's a disadvantage because they will want to have revenge."
Sean Rosenthal, United States - "The difference between the two teams were the final points. We had two aces at the end. It was a close match. Herrera and Gavira served very well today.â€
Adrian Gavira, Spain - "The first set, our service was good. We're happy we had a chance to win the match. But we already lost five quarterfinals, so that's not very good for our confidence. And we were so close this time. We pressed and our defense was really good. But maybe next time. The wind was good and the temperature is nice for us, so we hope we'll have that next year. And then we will win the world championships!â€
Pablo Herrera, Spain - "The first set was from our side perfect. In the second they became very strong. But in the third it was only one point difference. It was so close. In the last two points my reception was bad, unfortunately. We have to play perfect against them. We became better here in The Hague. This city is one of the best locations for a World Championship.

Marion won Best Actress at Etoiles d'Or (Golden Stars) for her performance in 'De rouille et d'os' ('Rust and Bone'). The film itself won five awards (Desplat also won Score). A reminder that the Césars are on this Friday.
Credit to Cineuropa for information.
Best Film, Best Actress (Marion Cotillard), Best Screenplay (Jacques Audiard and Thomas Bidegain) and Best Male Newcomer (Matthias Schoenaerts). With four prizes in this 14th edition of the Golden Stars awarded by French cinema journalists and movie critics, Rust&Bone by Jacques Audiard beats Love by Michael Haneke, which won the Best Director and Best Actor awards (Jean-Louis Trintignant).
It is worth thinking about these results since the Césars will be awarded on February 22nd. Indeed, over the past few years, the 450 members of the Golden Stars' jury and the 4,200 members of the Academy of Film Arts and Techniques (who vote at the Césars) have very often opted for the same film. Winning prizes around the world, will Love be snubbed in its majority production country (France)? We'll have the answer on Friday night.

Raccoon River Valley Trail hosts largest event in 25-year history
Central Iowa's latest tourism draw will be completed within the next two weeks and Saturday saw just the type of event it will draw.
The Raccoon River Valley Trail has been around for 25 years. The trail hosted its largest single event Saturday, called the Market to Market Relay.
Relay teams raced from Jefferson to downtown Des Moines, a 75-mile route that took them through several communities.
Around 1,500 runners took part in the relay. Organizers believe about half of the runners were from outside Iowa.
More extreme rides and runs like this are expected to come to the trail because by the end of the month, a final 7-mile stretch of trail between Herndon and Dawson will be open. That will complete what will become a 72-mile loop, the longest recreational trail loop in America, according to trail association members.
"The Raccoon River Valley Trail has become a trail where you can come spend three to four days on it and not be repeating where you're going," said Chuck Offenburger of the Raccoon River Valley Trail Association.
Central Iowa's trail system is not done growing. Fundraising is underway to build a 9-mile, $5 million trail connecting Perry to Woodward.
The trail would connect the Raccoon River Valley Trail loop to the very popular High Trestle Trail that runs through Madrid and Slater down to Ankeny.

Wenda Millard Out at Martha Stewart
Co-CEO Wenda Millard is out at at Martha Stewart Living OmniMedia (MSO). The company will not replace her but will divvy up her responsibilities among its current execs, including Martha Stewart herself.
No word on what Millard, who is best known as the longtime leader of Yahoo's (YHOO) sales force, plans to do next. Even while she has been running Stewart's multimedia empire along with co-CEO Robin Marino, she's remained highly visible in the online ad world, popping up frequently to decry the rise of advertising networks.
UPDATE: Millard will become president at Media Link, a media consultancy founded by Michael Kassan, who she says has been courting her some time. "This had nothing to do with leaving Martha Stewart. It had everything with going to Media Link," she told me from San Francisco, where she had just received a lifetime achievement award at the ad:tech conference. "This is a very, very timely opportunity. People need a lot of help navigating in this environment, and this kind of strategic advice is exactly what companies need today."
Millard's departure from the company isn't a shock because she has long been rumored to be unhappy at Martha Stewart. She and Marino took over the company last summer when Susan Lyne left the CEO post; Lyne later landed at e-commerce start-up Gilt Group. Last fall, Millard was reportedly feuding with Stewart and was supposedly heading to sell ads for Microsoft (MSFT), a story she denied when I asked her about it. Here's the release:
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. today announced a reorganization of its Media business. The Company also announced that Wenda Harris Millard is stepping down from her post as President of Media and Co-CEO. The company has no plans to replace Ms. Millard or name a new co-CEO.
Martha Stewart, MSLO's Founder, will oversee all editorial and creative functions. MSLO Chairman Charles Koppelman, who in addition to serving as the Company's Principal Executive Officer, will now oversee MSLO's Media businesses. Robin Marino will continue to oversee Merchandising, serving as the segment's President and CEO, and to report to Mr. Koppelman. Ms. Marino is expected to be recommended to join MSLO's Board of Directors.
Mr. Koppelman stated: "We are grateful to Wenda for all of her work on behalf of MSLO. Wenda has been a champion of Martha's groundbreaking Omnimedia vision on which this company was built. She has been an effective leader of a very talented team as we've expanded our franchises and grown our cross-platform programs."
"Robin will continue to work with me to identify new opportunities and create synergies across our Media and Merchandising businesses," Mr. Koppelman added.
Ms. Millard stated: "I am very proud of the contributions I've made to MSLO over the past five years, first as a board member and most recently as President of Media and co-CEO. We've built an agile team and a strong foundation for future growth."
UPDATE: Millard will become president at Media Link, a media consultancy founded by Michael Kassan, who she says has been courting her for some time (press release below).

Ms Millard had joined MSLO in July 2007 after three years as a member of its Board of Directors. She oversaw MSLO's media businesses, which include publishing, internet and broadcasting. She is credited with elevating the company to its #1 position in percent of revenue derived from digital advertising among all other "traditional" media companies, She led MSLO's investments in Wedding Wire and Pingg and was the company's driving force behind creating cross-platform programs for marketers in TV, digital, magazines and radio.
Before MSLO, Ms Millard was Chief Sales Officer at Yahoo! and prior to that was Chief Internet Officer at Ziff Davis Media and President of Ziff Davis Internet. Previously, Ms Millard was a founding member of the executive team at DoubleClick, where she served as Executive Vice President responsible for establishing the DoubleClick brand and overseeing the operations of DoubleClick Media.

Getting a tax refund
Small Business Guides
5 min read
Getting a tax refund can make a big difference to small business owners. Try to be strategic in what you do with the cash. Whether you invest it in the business or outside of it, do something meaningful.
A tax refund can boost your business
Getting a tax refund can be a nice bonus to cap off your tax year. It could be worth thousands of dollars, which gives you a lot of investment options.
So how do you maximise your chance of getting a tax refund? And if you get one, what should you do with it?
Understanding the tax system
To ensure you don't miss a claim, have a professional prepare your tax return. You can find one by searching our network of accountants and bookkeepers.
If you'd like to have a hands-on role, you can learn about big tax topics using these Inland Revenue videos:
- Business structures
- Income and provisional tax
- Expenses
- Depreciation
- Registering for GST
- Record keeping
Or get started by reading about business income tax basics.
Double-check your dates
If your last tax bill was more than $2,500, you'll need to pay provisional tax – where you make part payments throughout the year. It helps avoid getting a big bill at the end. Inland Revenue's online calendar will tell you when instalments are due and can send you reminders.
Treat your tax refund as an investment opportunity and ask how that lump sum can best serve you – whether you put it back into the business or not.
Seven ways to use your tax refund
If you're getting a tax refund, consider how best to use it. The cash injection could upgrade your business, make it more resilient, or contribute to your retirement.
- Create an emergency fund
Put some money aside so you can ride out unexpected costs or dips in revenue. It's not the most exciting use of spare cash but you'll thank yourself if:
- your most important work tools need replacing
- a big customer stops using you
- a low-cost supplier goes out of business or raises prices
The amount you should save will depend on your business – and whether you're a startup or a going concern. Speak to your accountant or bookkeeper to decide on an appropriate amount for your emergency fund.
- Pay off your debts
It's always good to pay off debts. Getting a tax refund gives you that option. Audit your debts to see which charges the highest interest, then pay it down. The interest saved will probably outweigh the interest you'd earn if you banked the cash.
- Invest in your business
Your windfall might deliver more value if you put it back into the business. Getting a tax refund could allow you to:
- buy or lease new equipment
- upgrade your website or ecommerce platform
- subscribe to a business app, like a customer relationship management system (CRM)
You know the roadblocks to your business. Getting a tax refund could help resolve one and unlock business growth.
- Plan for retirement
You've probably put every spare cent into your business lately – perhaps at the expense of your retirement fund. If so, now would be a good time to invest in yourself. Some retirement schemes offer tax incentives or credits depending on your business structure and circumstances, so take a look around.
If you're afraid to lock the cash away until retirement, consider a high-interest term deposit. Just be aware that you'll be taxed on the interest.
- Reward your staff
Don't forget the people who make your business tick every day. How many times have you asked your employees to put in extra effort during the year? Now's your chance to give back – and increase the loyalty they feel to your business. You could pay them a bonus or organise an event to show them they're appreciated.
- Put money aside for next year's tax bill
Just because you're getting a tax refund this year doesn't mean you'll get one next year. If you're still a young business, it might be hard to predict your tax exposure from year to year. Consider putting money aside as insurance against a big tax bill in the future.
- Make a community or charity donation
This could be your opportunity to give back to the community that supports your business. You might give to a charity, sponsor a community group or support a public project. Donations often get favourable tax treatment and can create PR opportunities. But most of all, they make you feel good.
Getting a tax refund is just the start
Paying taxes is an absolute certainty when you're running a business. Getting a tax refund is not. Don't squander the opportunity. Treat it as an investment opportunity and ask how that lump sum can best serve you. You might choose to put it back into your business or you might not. The important thing is that you're thoughtful and strategic about how you use it.

First of all, I love Overgrowth. Its already amazing and it's not even fully released yet!
I have a question regarding Overgrowth…
I have customized a player character for a level, changing the model from Turner to a hooded rabbit.
I also recolored the armor.
I saved the level, but when I re-opened it, I found that my player model was once agin default Turner.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? So that my changes to the fur, clothing and leather colors and model change remain in place every time I open the level for the player character?

- 11 oz 11 oz 11 oz Prunes (dried plums), pitted and chopped
- 1 cup 1 cup 1 cup Raisins
- 3/4 cup 3/4 cup 3/4 cup Water
- 1/3 cup 1/3 cup 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
- 2 cup 2 cup 2 cup Blanched Almond Flour
- 1 cup 1 cup 1 cup Arrowroot Flour, plus 1/2 cup for dusting
- 1 tsp 1 tsp 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp 1 tsp 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup 1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup, + 1 Tbsp to add to the filling
- 1/4 cup 1/4 cup 1/4 cup Organic Coconut Oil, melted
- In a medium sized sauce pan, add the prunes, raisins, water, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat.
- Bring filling to a boil, while stirring. Continue to stir frequently, while "mashing" the filling with a wooded spoon.
- Once the liquid has reduced, and you have a thick filling of plump prunes and raisins, remove from heat and set aside for filling the cookies.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, arrowroot, and salt.
- Add in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Stir until all ingredients are combined and you have a ball of cookie dough. **You can use your hands for this as well.
- Place ball of dough on to a sheet of parchment paper, adding additional arrowroot flour and kneading the dough until it is firm enough to be rolled and cut into shapes.
- Place another sheet of parchment paper over the dough, and roll into a 1/4 inch thick layer.
- Dust dough with additional arrowroot, as well as dip the cookie cutter in arrowroot flour, so the dough does not stick.
- Carefully cut circles in the dough, and remove the excess dough from around the circles.
- Add about a teaspoon (give or take) of filling to the center of the cookies, and carefully fold three sides in, making a triangular shape. Pinch the corners in to seal the cookies.
- Transfer the parchment to a baking sheet, and bake cookies for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
- Repeat this process using a fresh sheet of parchment, for the remainder of the dough, until you have used all of the cookie dough.
- Any remaining filling can be frozen and saved for future use.

Is there anything Adele can't do?
The Grammy winner joined forces with Jimmy Fallon for a brand new edition of "The Tonight Show's" series of hit songs sung with children's classroom instruments.
Backed by the musical stylings of The Roots, the "When We Were Young" songstress and Fallon sat together as she belted out her already classic chart-topping hit, "Hello."
U.S. & World
While they were surrounded by colorful musical trinkets like a rainbow xylophone, bongos and shaking bells, the most perfect prop came from Adele herself, who unexpectedly whipped out a children's toy cell phone in the middle of the performance as an homage to her sepia music video for the track.
We just wonder what her 3-year-old son Angelo James Konecki thinks about the unique tot-inspired musical arrangement.
Adele also performed "Million Years Ago" from her new album on NBC's "Today" show Wednesday.
"It's pretty overwhelming, but it's incredible," Adele told "Today's" Matt Lauer of the response to her new album release. But, she said, her son is still her focus.
"My son comes everywhere with me," she said. "He's the first person I see in the morning and last person I see at night. ... I make time for him, like I always have. That's one of the reasons I've been away [from the music industry] for so long. My kid is more important. My kid comes first; my music comes second."
READ: Here's the cover of Adele's "Hello" you never knew you always needed
By the look of Fallon's collaboration and interview with Adele Tuesday night, Adele may want to induct Fallon into her growing American squad.
During her most recent days in New York, the Oscar winner joined another Academy Award champion Jennifer Lawrence and nominee Emma Stone for a girl's night out on the town in the Big Apple. The Hollywood trio dined on duck carnitas at Mexican restaurant Cosme in New York City.
[NATL] Top Entertainment Photos: Best of the American Music Awards, and More
While her squad is still a work in progress, the brunette beauty has already admitted that she would love to induct one pop megastar into her posse.
"It's not as interesting as some of the other squads that are around right now, but maybe Rihanna can be in my squad! That would be really cool. Oh, God. She's life itself, isn't she? I love her," she dished to Rolling Stone.

After some respite from an unusually harsh winter in late February and in March, much of the Ninth District suffered one last arctic blast in the form of an ice storm and blizzard that covered most of the Dakotas and parts of Minnesota the weekend of April 4-6. Hundreds of miles of power lines were downed in North Dakota, and the cold wind and snow added insult to injury for the Minnesotans and North and South Dakotans who were outside fighting rising flood waters.
The flooding that ensued in towns and cities in Minnesota and North Dakota is well known, as local and national media chronicled the daily battle against the rising waters. What isn't so well known, yet, is the precise economic impact of the worst flooding in that region's history; as of late April, though, it was possible to make some estimations.
From cattle to cropland and bridges to homes, flood's damage spread wide
In the agriculture industry, ranchers in North and South Dakota were perhaps the hardest hit by the late blizzard, since most were in the middle of calving season. Beef operators in both states had already suffered unusually high mortality throughout the winter as a result of extreme cold and snow. North Dakota officials estimate that weather-related cattle losses for the whole winter, including the April storm, totaled 160,000 head, about 10 percent of the state's beef herd. South Dakota's Department of Agriculture had estimated losses before the storm at some 7 percent of the state's 1.5 million head breeding herd; the blizzard took the lives of additional cows and many newborn calves.
Where the blizzard ended, rapidly rising waters took over. Farmers sandbagged, diked, moved grain and livestock to other locations, and parked machinery on high road grades where possible. Early estimates report that some 2,000 farm homes were damaged to some degree, and an equal number of other farm buildings including some large potato storage buildings. Damage to stored grain has not yet been assessed, nor that to machinery. Most tillage implements can survive submersion with negligible damage, but combines and other harvesting equipment with many moving parts may require extensive disassembly, cleaning and lubrication if submerged.
Crop planting will surely be late in flooded areas, but reduction in crop production need not be significant unless the region receives above-normal precipitation in May and June. High-value crops, such as sugar beets, are likely to be planted first, and perhaps on land more distant from the river than had been planned. Similarly, some acres may be planted to shorter-season crops than usual, with lower value of output per acre, but few acres will produce nothing this year.
Throughout the whole valley, publicly owned property such as roads, bridges, schools, county and municipal buildings, and water and sewer systems received substantial damage. At the end of April, water levels were declining in most areas, though still above flood stage in all but a few.
A very initial estimate made at the Minneapolis Fed indicated total property damage in the Red River Valleyfor public and private propertyin the range of $1.2 billion to $1.8 billion. On April 28, Minnesota's Director of Emergency Response announced that his state had suffered $800 million in damages to residences and to public infrastructure and government buildings. Estimates were still being made of damage to commercial property and to agriculture.
North Dakota is still tabulating, but officials indicate that property damage is expected to exceed $1 billion. The Director of Public Services for the city of Grand Forks indicated that some $250 million might be necessary to repair all the damage to public infrastructure and municipal property in that city alone.
While the total bill for property damage, cleanup and lost output will be large, it should not have significant effects on the economy as a whole. Federal disaster assistance of nearly $500 million has already been offered, and unprecedented donations of cash and material by individuals and businesses will also help. Still, even at best, many families will experience a significant drop in net worth and some small businesses may fail. Taxpayers, especially in North Dakota where damage is much greater relative to the size of the state economy as a whole compared to Minnesota, will face higher taxes over a number of years as bonding necessary to rebuild infrastructure is serviced.
An overview of the flood
During the blizzard that raged through the region in early April, the Minnesota River in west-central Minnesota was already above flood stage in many areas, and the Red, Red Lake, Big Sioux and James rivers were near the top of their banks. The combination of flooding and blizzard caused unusual damage in Ada, Minn., where the freezing of flood waters filled much of the town with water covered with ice too thick to break, making evacuation and damage prevention activities difficult.
Many homes and businesses in Granite Falls, Montevideo and Breckenridge, Minn., suffered some flood damage, although heroic efforts by residents and volunteers from around the region kept the waters out of most parts of these cities. As the crest on the Minnesota moved downstream, there was some additional damage to low-lying property in New Ulm and other Minnesota Valley towns, but nothing of major consequence.
At the same time, there was minor flooding along the St. Croix River, between Minnesota and Wisconsin, including the closing of a much-used bridge at Stillwater, Minn.
Further west, there was high water along the James and Big Sioux rivers in South Dakota. Both of these rivers rose substantially above flood stage, setting new records at several sites and causing some damage to roads, bridges, residences and farms. Huron, on the James River, and Watertown, on the Big Sioux, suffered the greatest damage. But in both cases, flooding was largely limited to the basements of a few dozen houses. There was little structural damage, and few houses were flooded to a level that would require major rehabilitation work.
As the Minnesota, James and Big Sioux river crests moved downstream and people in those river basins let out their breath, the focus shifted back to the Red River between North Dakota and Minnesota. This river flows north, in a gently sloping, broad and flat valley that experiences some flooding in many years. But the snowfall during the winter was the highest on record, and clearly the 1997 snow melt was going to cause major increases in water levels.
The twin cities of Fargo, N.D., and Moorhead, Minn., are protected by substantial permanent levees, but officials in both communities had spent weeks preparing additional defenses. The crest was reached about April 16, and despite some neighborhoods damaged by overland flooding or their location outside of protected areas, most of the two cities escaped major damage. About 100 homes and a number of businesses suffered some damage, and many businesses shut down because owners and employees were engaged in flood work, but the cities came through remarkably well.
Unfortunately, their neighbors 70 miles to the north were not so lucky. Grand Forks, N.D., and East Grand Forks, Minn., stand at the confluence of the Red and Red Lake rivers. Officials in these two towns had also implemented major flood defense efforts.
The Red River rose very quickly, with a crest that arrived nearly a week before predicted. The crest also turned out to be 5 feet higher than predicted and was aggravated by overland flooding from snow melt in flat agricultural areas adjacent to the cities. In the late afternoon of April 18, levees were overtopped and began to fail. Officials ordered the progressive evacuation of both cities as neighborhoods were flooded and as essential water, sewer and electrical service were cut off. Nearly 60,000 people were forced to evacuate the two cities, including hospital and nursing home patients.
The shocking destruction in Grand Forks mobilized frantic efforts in downstream towns. Sandbagging and levee construction went on round the clock in Drayton and Pembina, ND, and St. Vincent, Minn., as well as in Canadian towns across the border. Warren, Minn., some miles from the Red, but on the Snake River, also fought to spare itself. Some damage occurred in all these towns, but there was no catastrophic break in the defenses as there had been in Grand Forks, and things turned out better than many anticipated during the dark fourth week of April.

I think this shout out is really great. It's horrible about how drugs can affect the world. Families, individuals, and our society are affected by it. It takes lives, commitments, families, and even individuals souls. I don't respect people who bring this put down to their families and to themselves but I'm acceptable to helping them.

I see the effects of drug use first hand. I manage a 40-bed detoxification unit and everyday I see how individuals as well as their families suffer due to the disease of addiction. Here in the state of Florida we are experiencing a new type of user. About 75% of our patients are addicted to Rx pain killers and are between the ages of 18 and 30. This shout out concept is awesome as it spreads the word, educate and reaise the awareness among young people as well as parents/family members and communities in general on the dangers of drugs and shatter the myths around drugs and addiction in general. There is nothing better than knowledge to create change and this venue is definetely a good way to spread the knowledge. This is awesome! Thanks for doing this NIDA!!!!

Far Cry 3 PS3 (Pre-owned) Description
Visit a tropical island that's far from paradise in Far Cry 3 for PlayStation 3â¦
Far Cry 3 puts you into the sandy shoes of Jason Brody, who's tropical holiday takes a turn for the very worst when your travelling companions are killed one by one, leaving you alone to survive on an island where surprises lurk behind every corner.
Key Features of Far Cry 3 on PlayStation 3
- An immersive, open-world environment to explore
- Play your way to survive the island â and insanity
- Unique first-person combat
- Intense multiplayer with separate co-op campaign
Far Cry 3 is like no other first-person sandbox game. Balancing the light and dark elements of the first two Far Cry games, Far Cry 3 presents an island filled with dangers, and where staying sane amongst the insanity is the most important tool to survive.
The island itself is an immersive open-world environment ready for you to explore. Boasting stunning visuals that bring the sun, sand, sea and jungles of the island to life and environmental effects so real you practically feel the heat of the sun, the cool of the breeze, and the trees and underbrush of the jungle as you pass through it.
But that's just the beginning. The free-roaming, sandbox gameplay means that you can play Far Cry 3 your way on an island filled with friends, enemies and surprises – and where almost every turn will uncover something new. There are plenty of side missions to undertake, as well as the need to gather the materials you need to keep yourself alive as you make your way around the island. Play it safe, play it stealthily, or play it guns blazing. Take your time, or take it right to the bad guys. But whichever route you take, the goal is the same â win over the different territories of the island and liberate it from the vicious Vaas.
Far Cry 3 offers some very different combat to other first person shooters. The island gives you the opportunity for a wide choice of weapons, from the expected guns, rifles and rockets, to throwing knives and bow-and-arrow. The first person gameplay is further enhanced with the way you get around the island, with jeeps, hang-gliders, zip lines and more. As well as the nefarious forces at work on the island, there's deadly wildlife to worry about too. Wild dogs, sharks, shoals of fish, caged bears â all will require your own brand of animal control, and some maybe used against your enemies too!
As you advance around the island, you will gain skills and 'powers' that will enhance your strength, speed, shooting skill and more. A tattoo on your left arm will gradually evolve the more skills you acquire.
Multiplayer in Far Cry 3 offers a brand new co-op campaign that is just as immersive as the single-player experience. Four new characters are introduced, former cruise ship workers who were sold-out by their captain, who then snap and chase him across the island. Armed with makeshift equipment like burning oil and a gas that plays with your mind, multiplayer in Far Cry 3 rewards teamwork, with these rewards giving you the currency needed to enhance and customise your character to suit your playing style.
The multiplayer experience is an improvement on previous Far Cry games, with a greater in-depth map editor that allows you to build and share your maps with other players in the online community, and the bulletin board and stats kept out of the game itself, meaning there are no distractions from the mission at hand.
All our pre-owned games are quality tested & fully playable, but bonus content or codes for online play may have been redeemed. Game may not include original artwork and/or manual.
Pre-owned games may have minor scratches but are guaranteed to work.

The Associated Press tells us:
PHOENIX — John McCain and Sarah Palin are scheduled to campaign together in Arizona next week for the first time since they conceded the presidential election in Phoenix in 2008.
Palin and McCain will be at a rally and picnic in Tucson on March 26, followed the next day by a rally in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa.
McCain and Palin have had a couple of public appearances together, including a dinner in Washington, but the Tucson and Phoenix events are their first return to the stump.
The former Republican presidential candidate is facing the toughest re-election battle of his Senate career. Former Arizona Congressman and talk-radio host JD Hayworth is challenging McCain in the Republican primary.

Imagine being ringside as a long-married dysfuntional theater couple in New England indulges in endless summer evenings of super stiff cocktails, various sedatives, menthol 100's, late night dinner parties, an unexpected house guest and mind-numbing writer's block (but is the block real, imagined or just a self-fulfilling prophecy?).
Ghosts of infidelities of evenings-past are revisited and re-examined, and a young hot-shot outsider tries to get the old playwright to pen his next long-awaited masterpiece. The young man makes a deal with the ever tipsy, long-suffering wife of the troubled yet brilliant playwright: her various drunken sexual exploits of much younger men are now old news.
Conga lines are formed, spirits flow freely and heavily, and old love is both re-ignited and rediscovered in the most unusual of ways.
SPQR Stage Company's world premiere of Modern Drama is both written and directed by Bill Sterritt, and is a self-described "comedy of manners about infidelity and retribution on the tip of Cape Cod...Noel Coward's Private Lives meets Luigi Piendello's In Search of an Author."
The small, yet technically capable cast and simple, yet effective staging make this One-Act comedy a must-see for some hearty summertime laughs. The intimate and inventive house seating (everyone gets their own Adirondack deck chair complete with pillows and arm rests) makes the audience feel like they are part of the action, and the Sea Breezes are delicious!
Modern Drama stars Lisa Temple, Rich Brunner (AEA - Actors Equity Association), Keith Wyfells, Veronika Kurshinskaya (Miss Los Angeles California United States 2012), Griselda Marquez, Nicholas Jenkins, and Jason T. Gaffney (AEA - Actors Equity Association).
The SPQR Stage Company world premiere of Bill Sterritt's Modern Drama runs through Sunday July 1st at Studio/Stage Los Angeles, 520 N. Western Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90004.
Friday and Saturday shows are at 8pm and Sunday shows are at 5pm.
Tickets are $10 at the door ($5 with postcard).

One of the talks I went to at Oracle Open World was one on measuring performance of your application on an Oracle database. The talk was by Cary Millsap of Method R titled "Instrumentation: Why You Should Care"
It was interesting in many ways, topics such as writing debug data to a ring bugger of shared memory reminded me of how we used to work before dtrace came a long.
There was one fantastic quote from Mr Millsap, which I think is worth repeating
"If obviously different experiences yield the same measurement, then clearly you're measuring the wrong thing"
Sage words indeed

MWC 15 Special
well informed DigiTimes said it got information that, with the release of
Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft plans to rename its Windows Mobile-based handsets
by calling them in future simply as Windows Phones, without specifying an OS
version number.
Sure, this step makes sense especially because Microsoft still plans to unify
the Windows Mobile Professional (touchscreen) and Standard (non-touchscreen)
platform and the
last name-change from 2007 wasn't as successful as expected and caused more
confusion then it helped to understand what the device is about.
Furthermore, Microsoft has a long tradition in renaming its mobile platform.
What started as Windows CE back in the mid-90's later became P/PC (Palm-sized PC
for touchscreen PDAs) and H/PC (Handheld PC for Netbook-like PDAs). With the
introduction of the new platform back in 2000, Microsoft called the new product
Pocket PC which later became, with the introduction of the smartphone platform,
Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone Edition. With the introduction of the non-touchscreen
smartphone platform, Microsoft changed the whole naming to Windows Mobile
Classic (for PDAs), Windows Mobile Professional (for smartphones with
touchscreen) and Windows Mobile Standard (for smartphones without touchscreens).
Anyway, new new naming isn't yet confirmed but if Microsoft really plans to
change the Windows Mobile brand, it's most likely that it will be announced
during the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Cheers ~ Arne

Well, I made it through a second session. Now this workout is a weekly ritual. You know, once I do something more than once it is a forever.
Today was the Big Lake 8K as well. The Big Lake 8K was my first race ever..it took me over an hour to finish and I ran the whole thing. I've run every once since and was going to run today..until last week. I opted for the Buck Hill workout instead. It serves me so much better than the 8K.
AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN :) Really. It was.
Today's temperature was forecast to hit 92, but I don't think it reached 85. Still, it felt warmer, more humid and there was no breeze today. It was hard. But fun. Fun hard. Hard fun. You got it.
I pulled into the lot a bit early so I could potty and look at any other runners on the hill. I didn't see anyone else. Gee, I wonder why? Pretty soon Paul and Pierre pulled up and then right on their tail, John Storkamp and Kevin Martin! What a nice surprise. I wouldn't have been surprised if I would have heard my cell ring, but Ozzie was playing too loudly in my car and I didn't know John had called to let me know that he and Kevin would be there at 12.
You've seen both John and Kevin here. John won the Ed Fitz 100K last year, when Scott, Kevin and I ran it together. Remember, "run until they are bloody stumps", yeah, that was John's mantra. He finished and won in 8 hours. He also won the on foot division of Arrowhead 135 last year and will be crewing/pacing Pierre at Badwater this summer. Woohoo.
Kevin is the new ultra runner turned super fast. Afton 50K last year was his first, then Voyaguer in 1230, and Ice Age in 9 hours this year. Smoking!
We ran our warm up of 2.5 miles, headed back to the lot to get our water and stuff and made camp at the base of the hill. The heat was on!
I was thinking 2.5 milel run, 10 repeats, 2.5 mile run and 2-5 more repeats. I thought anything over 10 repeats was gravy, but had to do at least 12.
Awesome wicked fun.
Pierre wasn't feeling so hot. He had a bad cold and a sore leg. He had just gone through a session of acupuncture this morning. He has been having trouble with this leg for two years now. Imagine what he could do with two healthy legs?
I told Paul that I was pretty stiff and sore this past week. I had made the mistake of running hard on Monday, as I felt pretty good. Tuesday I ran, tired, finally Wednesday I took off and was feeling better on Thursday. Tomorrow I am planning on biking and lifting, no running, or so she says so now..
Pierre didn't think he'd made it for 10, he was feeling pretty bad, the cold left him no energy. But, tough dog that he is, he sucked it up and did 12 repeats anyway!
Paul, Kevin and John were completing their repeats pretty quickly, they were at least 2 ahead of me most of the day. Paul headed off for his 2.5 run after 10 repeats and Kevin and John were going to stick around for me to finish two more. I told them to go ahead, I was fine. I did two more, wondered if I'd ever be able to do another repeat again and headed out for the 2.5 miles. It wasn't as horrible as last week. The 2.5 was a welcome diversion from the 10 repeats.
Back to the hill, I eeked out two more and called it a day! Pierre and I finished at 12, Paul at 14 and Kevin and John at 15. This was their first session, too. Sheesh again.
It was so much fun to have all the company during the workout. Granted, I can't carry a conversation as I'm climbing the hill, I'm sucking wind, but still, it was nice to nod and give a thumbs up as we went by one another. Except for John. He could converse the whole way. I could hear his voice carry in the wind when he was 1/2 a hill ahead of me. Wow.
We grabbed our supplies and headed out to the lot. I was ecstatic to have completed 12 hill repeats. Paul and Pierre had to leave quickly but Kevin, John and me were able to hang out, visit and take pictures for a while!
I had a great time, thanks guys! Next week it's 14 (maybe even 15).
Tomorrow I'll post the pictures. I'm tired.

Yes, my husband is hot.
That's funny.
Run on with your bad self you super star!!!!!
- Julie B said...
It is funny, but, I'm glad YOU, Cheri, think so too! I wasn't expecting comments on John's 'hotness'. He'll like it :)

Two Thirds of Human DNA Script Deciphered by Human Genome Project
Two Thirds of Human DNA Script Deciphered by Human Genome Project
Public Consortium To Complete "Working Draft" in June
March 2000
The Human Genome Project international consortium announced today that two billion of the three billion "letters" that constitute the genetic instruction book of humans have been deciphered and deposited into GenBank. GenBank, the public database of DNA sequence operated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is accessible freely and without restrictions to all scientists in industry and academia.
The two billionth "letter," or base pair, was deposited earlier this month by the Wellcome Trust's Sanger Centre in Great Britain. The "letter" was a "T," the abbreviation for thymine, one of the four chemicals or bases that make up DNA. The 2,178,076,000 unique base pairs now in GenBank have been mapped to their locations on the 24 human chromosomes.
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is on track to complete the "working draft," which will include 90 percent of the human DNA sequence, with an accuracy of 99.9 percent, in June. The HGP worldwide will invest an estimated $250 million in producing the working draft.
The finished, stand-the-test of time version of the human DNA sequence will be ready on or before 2003. Just four months ago, the HGP reached the one-billionth base pair milestone.
"It's good news that we're moving so fast but it's even better news that researchers throughout the world are using this data now to investigate the genetic underpinnings of health and diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to diabetes," said Dr. Francis Collins, director the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at National Institutes of Health (NIH) , in a speech today at the BIO 2000 annual international biotechnology conference in Boston.
Reaching the two billion base pair milestone is "a splendid achievement which will help doctors around the world in their quest to cure disease and advance knowledge," said Dr. Michael Morgan, chief executive of Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, which hosts the UK contribution to the HGP.
"We are pleased to be contributing to the creation of the scientific infrastructure that will enable the next stage of the biotechnology revolution," said Dr. Ari Patrinos, director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research, which sponsors the Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, Calif. Sequencing, which is determining the exact order of DNA's four chemical bases, commonly abbreviated A, T, C and G, has been expedited in the HGP by technological advances in deciphering DNA and the coalition's collaborative nature, which has resulted in about 1,000 scientists worldwide working together effectively.
Today the HGP assembles 12,000 bases every minute. Twenty years ago, sequencing that many bases would have required one year or more. Three years ago, when pilot projects to evaluate feasibility of large-scale sequencing were initiated by the HGP, deciphering 12,000 bases required 20 minutes.
Scientists throughout the world already are using the human sequence data in GenBank for basic research and disease related studies. Recently the genes responsible for hereditary deafness and cerebral cavernous malformations, an often-fatal vascular disease causing seizures and brain hemorrhages, were detected with data from GenBank.
Scientists are rapidly annotating the human DNA sequence in GenBank with information about the location of specific genes and the genetic variants (called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or SNPs) that can provide clues to various health disorders.
Almost 15 billion raw base pairs were sequenced to reach the two billion milestone. HGP scientists decipher each area of a chromosome at least four to five times to insure that the data deposited into GenBank is accurate. The "depth of coverage," as this repeat sequencing is called, also helps the scientists assemble the long stretches of the A, T, C, and G bases. The finished version of the human DNA sequence that the HGP will complete in 2003 will have a greater depth of coverage, with at least eight- to nine-fold coverage for each chromosome region.
The international HGP consortium includes scientists at 16 institutions in France, Germany, Japan, China, Great Britain and the U.S. The five institutions that generate the most sequence are: Baylor College of Medicine, Houston; Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis; Whitehead Institute, Cambridge, Mass.; Joint Genome Institute in CA; and the Sanger Centre in Great Britain. NHGRI funds the sequencing centers at Baylor, Washington University and Whitehead.

Great, gotta post a creation sometime.
The main title of Luís Baixinho( Short Luís, not me) means:
A fortified city in mini-fig scale by Luís and Tania Baixinho.
architect wrote:Other than a few plates at the base (blue, green, and dark grey) and one brick, it uses pieces from the SW mini MMT (set 4491).
Details include a drawbridge with rope to raise it, a 1x2 grill for a portcullis, gate tower, side towers, and a hall with roof.
Since this will be a prize for someone, it isnt really an entry to the contest. But I wanted to share and give inspiration to others. Feedback would be appreciated
Magnus wrote:Is there a maximum or minimum size for this competition?
Robin Hood wrote:3. The creation's base size cannot exceed 32x32 studs.
4. There is no piece or height restriction.
5. You may enter as many entries as you want, but try to go for quality as opposed to quantity.
but I hope that this is ok.The creation must be castle based. By this I mean pretty much anything that was around in medival times.
