Commission Chairman Kirkpatrick to Present `Jeopardy!' Champ With Key to Las Vegas Strip, Proclamation
Clark County Commission Chairman Marilyn Kirkpatrick will present "Jeopardy!" sensation James Holzhauer with a proclamation and key to the Las Vegas Strip at 1 p.m. today during a ceremony at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. The proclamation will declare today as James Holzhauer Day throughout Clark County.
Holzhauer, a Las Vegas resident and professional sports bettor, has dazzled audiences with his knowledge of academic, historic and popular subject categories and his ongoing winning streak on the popular TV show. So far Holzhauer has won more than $1.5 million, second on the show's all-time list to Ken Jennings of Edmonds, Wash., who won 74 straight games in 2004 amassing $2.5 million in winnings. At today's ceremony, the Commission Chairman will recognize Holzhauer as a goodwill ambassador for Las Vegas and for his generosity to the community. Holzhauer has pledged to donate some of his winnings to local charities, including $10,000 to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, which he frequently visits with his wife and their young daughter.
"Las Vegas residents like the rest of the nation have been glued to our televisions watching and rooting for James as he continues his winning streak on 'Jeopardy!,'" Commissioner Kirkpatrick said. "It's a pleasure to recognize his accomplishment on the show and to thank him for being a terrific ambassador for our community."
"Jeopardy!" airs locally on CBS KLAS-TV, Channel 8, at 7 p.m. Holzhauer has competed on the show 20 times since his first appearance on April 4, 2019. He holds several of the show's Hall of Fame records for amassing the most winnings in a single game. His study strategy included reading children's books. On the show, he seeks out high-value clues first, hunting for Daily Doubles. When he finds them, he bets everything he has with his trademark "all-in" hand gesture, as if he's pushing poker chips to the center of the table.

O tico-tico-dos-prados (Passerculus sandwichensis) é uma espécie de pardal do Novo Mundo. Foi o único membro do gênero Passerculus e normalmente é o único membro amplamente aceito. A comparação das sequências das subunidades 2 e 3 da mtDNA NADH desidrogenase indica que Passerculus princeps, anteriormente considerado uma espécie válida, é uma subespécie bem marcada do pardal de Savannah, enquanto o pardal de bico grande do sudoeste deve ser reconhecido como uma espécie distinta (Passerculus rostratus).

O nome da espécie sandwichensis é latino, de lugar, Sandwich, Unalasca, ou área das Aleutas, de onde veio a primeira subespécie, Aleutian Savannah Sparrow, a ser descrita. O nome comum homenageia Savannah, Geórgia, onde Alexander Wilson descobriu a espécie em 1811.

Todos são migratórios; intervalos de invernada se sobrepõem amplamente.

 P.s. labradorius, raças em Terra Nova, Labrador e N Quebec
 P.s. oblitus, raças no norte de Ontário e Manitoba
 P.s. savanna ( oriental Savannah pardal ), raças no nordeste dos EUA e Canadá adjacente (inclui P. s. mediogriseus )
 P.s. sandwichensis (pardal da savana Aleuta ), reproduz-se nas Ilhas Aleutas e no oeste da Península do Alasca
 P.s. anthinus, raças no restante do Alasca, sul e leste ao centro da Colúmbia Britânica e ao norte das Grandes Planícies para Manitoba
 P.s. brooksi ( pardal anão Savannah ), raças no sul da Colúmbia Britânica ao norte da Califórnia
 P.s. alaudinus, raças no litoral norte e central da Califórnia
 P.s. nevadensis, raças no norte das Grandes Planícies e da Grande Bacia
 P.s. brunnescens, raças do centro do México ao sul da Guatemala (inclui P. s. rufofuscus )

P.s. wetmorei é uma subespécie duvidosa que pode se reproduzir nas montanhas da Guatemala. É conhecido de apenas cinco espécimes, coletados de 11 a 17 de junho de 1897, no departamento de Huehuetenango.

Pardal de Ipswich
Alguma dispersão pós-reprodução. Antigamente considerada uma espécie distinta.

 P.r./s. beldingi, residente na costa do Pacífico de Morro Bay, Califórnia, para El Rosario, Baja California (inclui P. r./s. bryanti )
 P.r./s. anulus, residente em torno de Sebastián Vizcaíno Bay, Baja California
 P.r./s. guttatus, residente em torno da Lagoa San Ignacio
 P.r./s. magdalenae, residente em torno da Baía de Magdalena

Back to David's theory of evolution: God's error corrections (Evolution)
by dhw, Sunday, September 06, 2020, 12:11 (135 days ago) @ David Turell
DAVID: You keep forgetting or ignoring that our bodies are constantly under reproduction and that process must be protected from serious error. And that is all I have shown you. God has almost always protected us from them with His very complex amazing systems.
You keep forgetting that our bodies must age and die (deliberately planned), but that there are serious, unplanned disease-causing errors from which your God has not protected us, and which you wanted to explain on this thread. You have not explained them. You have told us they merely constitute 0.000001% of the system, and we should concentrate instead on how well the system works.
DAVID: We know He cannot have total control over molecules that are free to make mistakes. As for this 'problem' system I firmly believe it is the only one He could create. We have discussed the dangerous events in the universe that might affect us. I accept that our God created the best systems that could be created, and there are no others possible in a quantum based reality.
How do you know what is possible in a quantum-based reality which nobody can understand? On Friday you wrote; "We do not know if any other system is available for use in life". It's your belief that this is the only possible one. In any case, that does not exclude the possibility that this system is precisely the system your God WANTED. You admit that molecules are free to "make mistakes", and those "mistakes" have resulted in diseases which your God cannot control. But if molecules are free to do their own thing and turn nasty, maybe God also gave molecules the freedom to be nice and to combat the nastiness. Immunity, after all, is an ongoing process – new diseases demand new defences. And maybe this "freedom" is the key to how the whole of evolution has developed.
Under "Biological complexity: removing cellular garbage"
DAVID: The system had to be in place with the appearance of the first cells, for continuous garbage accumulation would lead to cell death. Only design fits. This thought applies to origin of life. The very first cells that lived had to have a garbage system as an integral part of the cell. And obviously this is a very important part of God's error control editing system.
dhw: I think you should drop this whole concept of "error", which is thoroughly misleading. According to your original theory, "errors" were mistakes which could not be prevented. You got into a complete tangle over evolutionary "errors", and you are still in a tangle over disease-causing "errors"…. Now all of a sudden we have a new category: garbage. Why do you regard the removal of unnecessary matter as editing a mistake? Shrinkage of the brain entails getting rid of unnecessary cells. Were they a mistake? You even support the theory that the whole of evolution is based on discarding unnecessary genes. So if God's only purpose was to design H. sapiens plus food supply, were all the preceding and now extinct life forms and food supplies an "error"?
DAVID: The first cells had to have a garbage removal system. I'm in no tangle about the subject of life while intense reproduction is occurring. What you haven't absorbed from the article is garbage includes misfolded molecules!!! So garbage removal is part of the error editing system. Did you read the first sentence I wrote in that entry?:
"This is part of the error control system as it removes from the cells waste and improperly formed protein molecules:"
I see what you mean, but I was thinking in more general terms of garbage as unnecessary stuff. (You said "including" and also waste AND the molecules.) It's not important. My point is also more general - that your theory of evolutionary and disease-causing "errors" has already resulted in confusion, as described above, and now we have unnecessary material (including improperly formed molecules) as another category of "error", which raises the questions I've asked above. I think the term "errors" is causing us nothing but trouble.
Under: Quantum physics: a different theory
DAVID: In living biochemistry which is not a controllable entity, in the same way that physics processes are, errors can occur and some don't fully appreciate the differences and either blame God for these errors or somehow think He purposely planned them. The plain reasoning is God fully knew what He was doing and knew errors would occur, proved by all the editing mechanisms He designed.
If God exists, I would certainly believe he knew what he was doing. I would not for one moment expect him to design a system full of errors he could not control, as you initially claimed for "evolutionary" errors and as is all too evident from the uncorrected disease-causing errors. See above for the rest of my proposal (bolded), which contains no "blame" at all but only the suggestion that he designed what he wanted to design, as opposed to designing what he did not want to design but had to design because…because what? He is not clever enough, and so had to leave it to us to try and correct the errors he couldn't correct.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Kansas City Chiefs Box Score on Oct 15, 2017
Oct 15, 2017 - Regular Season
Pittsburgh 19 Kansas City 13
Sunday, October 15, 2017 04:25 PM (ET)
Bell, Steelers end Chiefs' unbeaten run
The Sports Xchange
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Pittsburgh Steelers hold a simple winning formula for beating the Kansas City Chiefs, and it mostly revolves around handing the ball to Le'Veon Bell.
The Steelers running back carved up the Chiefs for 179 rushing yards Sunday, and they knocked off the league's last unbeaten team 19-13 at Arrowhead Stadium.
Bell delivered a repeat performance of his play against the Chiefs in the division playoff after last season. In January, Bell rushed for 170 yards as the Steelers knocked the Chiefs out of the postseason, 18-16.
This game played out much the same way, with the Steelers' defense keeping the Kansas City offense in check much of the day and holding off a late rally.
The Steelers first put points on the board with help from the Chiefs offense. Kansas City center Zach Fulton, filling in for injured starter Mitch Morse, sailed a snap past quarterback Alex Smith from the Chiefs 9-yard line and through the end zone for a safety.
The Steelers repaid the favor on the very next drive. Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt booted a short free kick following the safety, and the Steelers failed to retrieve it. Kansas City recovered the ball, setting up the Chiefs for a 46-yard field goal by Harrison Butker giving them a 3-2 lead.
Smith and the Chiefs' offense struggled throughout the afternoon, however. The quarterback completed 19 of 34 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown with an 88.6 passer rating. It was the first time this season Smith failed to crack the 100-rating barrier.
Kansas City rookie running back Kareem Hunt picked up just 21 yards on nine carries.
Bell put the Steelers back on top on the first play of the second quarter with a 3-yard touchdown run. Kicker Chris Boswell added a field goal just before the two-minute warning to give the Steelers a 12-3 halftime lead.
Smith rallied the Chiefs in the fourth quarter, connecting with De'Anthony Thomas for a 57-yard touchdown pass, cutting the deficit to 12-10.
The Steelers responded again, however. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger teamed up with receiver Antonio Brown for a 51-yard touchdown pass. Chiefs cornerback Phillip Gaines batted the ball in the air, yet the deflection landed in the hands of Brown, who took off down the sideline for a score that gave the Steelers a 19-10 lead with 3:24 remaining in the game.
Roethlisberger finished 17 of 25 for 252 yards and a touchdown with one interception. Brown finished with eight catches for 155 yards.
NOTES: Pittsburgh LB Vince Williams left the game early in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. He collected four tackles on the day, including two sacks. ... Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed for 21 yards and added 89 receiving yards, helping him top 100 yards from scrimmage for the sixth consecutive game to start his career. That breaks the record of five games with 100 yards or more from scrimmage to start a career set by Adrian Peterson.

HBO Max Netflix
HBO Almost Bought Netflix: A Case Study in Innovation
Nov 18, 2021, 10:21 AM PST – Riley Van Steward
Today's streaming landscape could have been very different if HBO executives made another call in a meeting to discuss the future of the company back in 2005. In a risk-averse attempt to cling to old revenue models, the entertainment giant passed on the chance to buy Netflix.

Author James Andrew Miller ("Tinderbox: HBO's Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers") spoke with Recode Media and revealed that HBO (in conjunction with Time Warner) considered buying Netflix two years before Netflix entered streaming in 2007.
"So there's a big meeting in 2005. And I don't think you can underestimate the effect that it had inside HBO because it's at a moment where HBO is literally staring at the proverbial fork in the road vis-à-vis direct to consumer," Miller said. "In 2005, in this meeting, there's two things going on. One is 'let's go direct to consumer.' There's two sides of HBO at this meeting, two fundamentally different approaches to the future… The second part of it is, 'let's buy Netflix because they are going to be doing things we can't. And that will be a further way to distinguish ourselves.'"
Miller goes on to recount that executives were too gun shy to pull the trigger on either part of the idea. The higher-ups were scared to upset their relationship with cable providers. In their minds, HBO's normal stream of revenue could be lost with any direct-to-consumer experiment. Cable and HBO were packaged together since HBO's inception, and streaming was a whisper of what was to come far, far in the future.
Time Warner and Disney aren't the only companies to miss the boat. In fact, they're the rule, not the exception. Kodak spent millions on developing digital camera technology but stuck with film as their primary product, ultimately leading to the company declaring bankruptcy in 2012. BlackBerry had all the resources necessary to create and dominate the modern smartphone market. Netflix approached Blockbuster to sell their company for $50 million (Netflix's market cap today is over $300 billion). Xerox invented the PC and let the technology stagnate while competitors advanced. And Yahoo decided to focus on its media business instead of its search function, giving Google a clear path to where they are today.
Scott Anderson in Harvard Business Review describes this phenomenon as, "companies often see the disruptive forces affecting their industry. They frequently divert sufficient resources to participate in emerging markets. Their failure is usually an inability to truly embrace the new business models the disruptive change opens up."
HBO didn't embrace direct-to-consumer in 2005 when they had the chance. James Miller isn't sure that even if HBO had approached Netflix that the company would sell. But Netflix was willing to sell in 2000 to Blockbuster. (Learn more about this in the Netflix documentary, "The Last Blockbuster.") And even if HBO hadn't bought Netflix, Time Warner had ample investment potential to create their own direct-to-consumer service spearheaded by HBO's content.
Clive Humby coined the phrase "data is the new oil" in 2006, a year after Miller's HBO meeting. And maybe if Time Warner executives had understood the importance of data to the future of online business, they would have reconsidered their position.
"As a result [of HBO's reliance on cable providers], HBO didn't know who you were. When you go on Amazon, you order a book, they're going to give you ten other suggestions. HBO couldn't do that. They didn't even have your address. They had no idea who you were because cable operators had it and cable operators weren't letting go," said Miller.
Today, HBO Max is excelling as a streaming service. They're the most downloaded streaming app domestically this year. But, they're still looking over the shoulders of giants like Netflix and Disney+ in nearly every metric. And they wouldn't have to, if they had only pulled the trigger 16 years ago.

Dodgers' Friedman has…

Dodgers' Friedman has 'intriguing' scenarios in mind for winter meetings
Dodger President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, right, and General Manager Farhan Zaidi enter Monday's MLB Winter Meetings with more than a few questions to answer. (Photo by Thomas R. Cordova/Daily Breeze)
By J.P. Hoornstra | jhoornstra@scng.com | Daily News
PUBLISHED: December 5, 2015 at 10:40 p.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 4:58 a.m.
At his first Winter Meetings as president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman executed a pair of three-team trades that dramatically altered the core of the Dodgers' roster. So when Friedman said Tuesday that "we have different scenarios that are intriguing," it couldn't be dismissed as a mere platitude.
Last year's "intriguing scenarios" saw Matt Kemp become a Padre, Dee Gordon become a Marlin, and Brandon McCarthy become a Dodger in the span of a few hours. The intrigue figures to be more straightforward Monday, when baseball's annual Winter Meetings commence in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Dodgers are in the market for a starting pitcher, maybe two now that Zack Greinke will be making $206.5 million over the next six years to play for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
That, along with questions about who will play second base and the future of Yasiel Puig, figure to drive the decision makers in the Dodgers' war room.
Friedman said Tuesday that the Dodgers are in "much better shape" in terms of their pitching depth than they were a year ago. That should allow the front office to streamline its targets.
That said, Greinke's production cannot be replaced by any one pitcher. The 32-year-old right-hander led the major leagues with a 1.66 earned-run average in 2015, and finished as the runner-up to Jake Arrieta for the National League Cy Young Award. Greinke and left-hander David Price (who finalized a seven-year, $217 million contract Friday with the Boston Red Sox) were in a class by themselves on a deep list of free agent starters.
Right-handers Mike Leake, Hisashi Iwakuma and Johnny Cueto headline the prominent names still available. Signing Iwakuma would cost the Dodgers a first-round draft pick in addition to their salaries; Cueto and Leake would not.
The most attractive option might be Japanese right-hander Kenta Maeda, who was recently posted after winning his country's equivalent of the Cy Young Award. At 27, he's the youngest pitcher in the group and would cost a $20 million posting fee in addition to his salary.
Since the Dodgers disclosed their plan to field a younger roster in 2016, it's hard to see them committing a long-term contract to second baseman Howie Kendrick. The 32-year-old offered a steady bat (.295 average, nine home runs, 54 RBIs) and glove in his first season in Los Angeles.
Friedman hasn't discounted the possibility of replacing Kendrick internally. Youngsters Jose Peraza, 21, and Kiké Hernandez, 24, have a combined 30 games of major league experience at second base.
Externally, veteran second baseman Ben Zobrist has a long history with Friedman from their time in Tampa Bay and can play four different positions if needed. However, Zobrist turns 35 in May and could command a longer contract than the Dodgers are willing to extend.
New York Mets playoff hero Daniel Murphy turns 31 in May and offers similar production to Kendrick from the left side of the plate. The Mets are widely seen as the front-runners for Zobrist, which could put Murphy in play for teams seeking a second baseman.
If the Dodgers are considering trading Puig, they aren't saying so publicly. His trade value has never been lower.
The outfielder, who turns 25 on Sunday, will have his 2015 season remembered for numerous on-field hamstring injuries and another off-field misadventure. Major League Baseball is still investigating Puig's role in a recent bar fight in Miami; Friedman said Tuesday that he is leaving the investigation up to the league.
As for Puig's value on the field, "there were things this year mechanically and health-wise that we didn't really get to see that as much in 2015," Friedman said, "but look at it from a scouting standpoint, look at him from the physical ability of what he can do on a baseball field. Everyone in this organization appreciates what that can mean in terms of wins. It's about us creating the right infrastructure to get the most out of all of our guys."
Veteran corner outfielders Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford don't make trading Puig any easier. Both offer value to a potential World Series contender, but Crawford's recurring health issues and Ethier's struggles against left-handed pitching almost preclude either player from being a full-time starter at this stage of his career.
Crawford and Ethier will be 34 next April and are signed through 2017 to albatross contracts. The Dodgers would almost certainly have to subsidize a portion of their salary in any trade. If nothing changes in the outfield, the combination of Ethier, Crawford, Puig, Joc Pederson, Scott Van Slyke and Hernandez is a competent, platoon-happy mix of youth and experience.
Relief pitching isn't the Dodgers' top priority, but the Dodgers could strike quickly after reportedly losing out on free agent left-hander Darren O'Day. The decision to non-tender right-hander Juan Nicasio created an opening that could be filled by veteran righty Ryan Madson, who resurrected his career with the Royals in 2015.
Then again, the Dodgers' list of perceived needs wouldn't have predicted that Gordon or pitcher Dan Haren would be traded a year ago. Who knows what intriguing scenarios Nashville has in store.

Just the other day I analyzed our mortgage related expenses as it pertains to our monthly spending. The conclusion was that my family needs to budget $1,500 a month to cover our mortgage and escrow payments for the year.
Each month we pay $1078.21 on our 30 year fixed rate mortgage. In addition to our mortgage, my wife and I put away another $422.63 in our escrow account that we managed on our own.
Years ago we decided to handle our own escrow account instead of giving our mortgage lender a free loan on our money. At the end of the year, our escrow balance is used to make one time payments that cover our homeowner's insurance and property taxes.
In total, we plan to budget $1,500 in mortgage related expenses each month. Over the course of a year, that comes out to be a large sum of money – $18,000.
With such a large amount of money being spent on our home, it got me thinking. Wouldn't it be nice if we could invest that money into dividend paying stocks?
While it would be awesome to invest this amount of money instead of using it on our home, it is not feasible for us at this time.
That isn't to say that it wouldn't be fun to see how much our portfolio could grow by investing $18,000.
Wouldn't it be awesome if my wife and I could invest our $18,000 in mortgage related expenses this year? It would certainly give our future dividend income a big boost.
Let's take a look at how much our income could grow.
Note – The yield on cost used is an average of all the stocks found in the Money Sprout Index. There is no guarantee of this yield but it is used to estimate a likely return.
Imagine that? Increasing our future dividend income by almost $800 just in the first year!
If we kept the momentum going by investing another $18,000 in year 2 (along with our dividend income and original investment), we would increase our future dividend income to $1,609.45!
What about 5 consecutive years of investing $18,000 along with reinvesting dividends? At the end of 5 years our future dividend income would be $4,297.44!
My wife and I enjoy having a home to raise our family, despite the costs involved. The mortgage, insurance, and taxes alone cost us around $18,000 per year which is a significant percentage of our income.
Investing that $18K in dividend paying stocks would certainly help us take a step towards reaching our financial independence goals. Especially if we invested that kind of money for 5 consecutive years.
Even though we are not ready to give up our home anytime soon, it is helpful to see just how far a large investment could grow. What if we built a second income of say $20K that could be used to invest?
Maybe there are other ways we can invest more like using $5,000 of our tax return every year? There are certainly other options to come up with this kind of money.
The question is how much do we want to sacrifice to boost our future dividend income?

Georg Kretzschmar (* 14. Februar 1889 in Leipzig; † 28. Mai 1970 ebenda) war ein deutscher  Maler und Grafiker.

Leben

Georg Kretzschmar wurde als Sohn des Maschinenmeisters Karl Edmund Georg Kretzschmar geboren. Von 1903 bis 1907 absolvierte er eine Lithografenlehre und war anschließend bis 1914 selbstständig in diesem Beruf tätig. Als Maler war er Autodidakt. Am 1. Juli 1910 trat er in die SPD ein.

Zwischen 1914 und 1918 leistete Kretzschmar seinen Militärdienst als Soldat im Ersten Weltkrieg. In der Weimarer Republik arbeitete er bis 1933 als freier Mitarbeiter bei verschiedenen Zeitungen der Arbeiterbewegung, wie der Leipziger Volkszeitung und der Chemnitzer Volkszeitung.

Während des Nationalsozialismus erhielt Georg Kretzschmar Berufsverbot und wurde auf die Schwarze Liste gesetzt. 1943 wurde er erneut zum Kriegsdienst gezwungen und geriet ein Jahr später in amerikanische Gefangenschaft, aus der er 1946 nach Leipzig zurückkehrte.

Seit 1946 war Kretzschmar als Maler und Grafiker freischaffend tätig und trat im gleichen Jahr in die SED ein. Zwischen 1946 und 1951 war er zudem als Dozent an der Volkshochschule Leipzig tätig und leitete einen Mal- und Zeichenzirkel bei der SAG Maschinenfabrik Unruh & Liebig, dem späteren VEB Schwermaschinenbau S.M. Kirow Leipzig.

Georg Kretzschmar wurde 1952 Mitglied des Verbandes Bildender Künstler Deutschlands und war ein Jahr später auf der 3. Deutschen Kunstausstellung im Dresdner Albertinum vertreten. 1959 wurde er auf die Internationale Kunstausstellung der sozialistischen Länder in Moskau delegiert, es folgten Einzelausstellungen in den Jahren 1960 und 1967.

1. All of our Rainbow pavings are selected from the more vibrant colours. Some suppliers do not do this.
2. The paving sizes in each pack are 900x600, 600x600, 600x295 and 295x295mm. Some suppliers use the size 290mm in the smaller sizes, resulting in large unsightly joints.
3. We have 17 of each of the four sizes in every 20 Sqm pack. Some suppliers put 16 of the 900x600mm resulting in a shortage of over half a metre per pack.
4. All of our full packs are opened and checked for breakages before dispatch.
*We do try to get your stone in perfect condition, however, it is a natural product and sometimes 1 or 2 breakages do occur. If the breakages are above 5%, then please return within 10 days from delivery and we will replace or refund the broken meterage.
* All of our Indian sandstone paving is sourced from members of the ETI (ethical trading initiative), preventing child labour and unsuitable working practices. Reg number RS91/7465 available on request.
* This paving is designed to have a narrow joint between each stone.
* We recommend the application of a PVA or primer to the underside of this paving before laying and laid on a full bed semi dry mortar mix.
* Rainbow Indian sandstone must always be sealed using a waterproof sealer.
Deliveries of one pack or more to most postcodes will still be free, but we may use the tail lift method of delivery.

Livestock Forage Disaster Program
The objective of LFP is to provide financial assistance from the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund (Trust Fund).
The Secretary of Agriculture (henceforth the Secretary) has the authority to use sums from the Trust Fund to provide compensation to livestock producers who suffered grazing losses
due to drought or fire.
For drought, the losses must have occurred because of a qualifying drought during the normal grazing period for the county on land that is native or improved pastureland with permanent vegetative cover or is planted to a crop planted specifically for grazing covered livestock.
For fire, LFP provides payments to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses on range land managed by a Federal agency if the eligible livestock producer is prohibited by the Federal agency from grazing the normal permitted livestock on the managed range land because of a qualifying fire.
Eligible grazing losses must have occurred on or after January 1, 2008, and before October 1, 2011.
The eligible grazing losses must occur within the same calendar year for which benefits are being requested.
Agency - Department of Agriculture
Established in 1862, the Department of Agriculture serves all Americans through anti-hunger efforts, stewardship of nearly 200 million acres of national forest and rangelands, and through product safety and conservation efforts. The USDA opens markets for American farmers and ranchers and provides food for needy people around the world.
Office - See Regional Agency Offices.
http://www.fsa.usda.gov
The assistance can be used to provide financial assistance for grazing losses due to drought equal to one, two, or three times the monthly payment rate to eligible livestock producers if the eligible livestock producer owns or leases a grazing land or pastureland that is physically located in a county that is rated by the U. S. Drought Monitor as D2 Drought (severe drought) for at least eight consecutive weeks, D3 (extreme drought) at any time or for four weeks (not necessarily four consecutive weeks), or a D4 (exceptional drought at anytime) during the normal grazing period for the specific type of grazing land or pastureland for the county.
Eligible livestock producers are eligible to receive assistance if grazing losses due to a fire on Federally managed land if the grazing loss is on range-land managed by a Federal agency such as the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs or Tribal government and the eligible producer is prohibited by the Federal agency from grazing the normal permitted livestock and/or normal permitted days.
Livestock producers are eligible to receive assistance if grazing losses due to drought or fire occur on or after January 1, 2008 and before October 1, 2011.

An eligible applicant or livestock producer may use assistance for grazing or fire losses for any specific purpose.
Eligible covered livestock includes cattle (including dairy cattle); buffalo/beefalo/ alpacas, deer, elk, emu, equine, goats, llamas, poultry; reindeer, sheep; swine; and other livestock as determined by the Secretary.
Beneficiary eligibility is extended to an eligible livestock producer who is an owner, cash share lessee, a contract grower of covered livestock that provides the pasture land or grazing land (including cash-leased pasture land or grazing land for the livestock) that is physically located in a county affected by drought. The term "eligible livestock producer" does not include an owner, cash or share lessee, or contract grower of livestock that rents or leases pasture land or grazing land owned by another person on a rate-of-gain basis. The eligible producer on a farm must have during the 60 calendar days before the beginning date of a qualifying drought or fire, owned, cashed or share leased, or been a contract grower of eligible covered livestock.
An eligible livestock producer must also be an individual or entity that is a citizen of the United States (U.S.); a resident alien; a partnership of citizens of the U.S.; or a corporation, limited liability corporation, or other farm organizational structure organized under State law.
An eligible livestock producer shall only be eligible for assistance if the livestock producer meets the risk management purchase requirement by obtaining a policy or plan of insurance or filed the required paperwork and paid the administrative fee by the applicable State application closing deadline date for the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for the grazing land crop that incurred the loss for which assistance is being requested. For 2008 only, a waiver was authorized to allow producers to pay a buy-in fee or receive a waiver by September 16, 2008, for grazing land for which the producer did not obtain a policy or plan of insurance for 2008.
The risk management purchase requirement will be waived for producers who are considered to be a socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher, limited resource farmer or rancher, or beginning farmer or rancher.
A livestock producer must certify that they have a grazing loss due to drought or fire. There is no minimum loss percentage required by the producer.
A livestock producer must provide an FSA-925 (LFP application for payment) in there administrative FSA county office along with required supporting documents.

Payment Eligibility for Losses Due To Drought
An eligible livestock producer will be eligible to receive payments for grazing losses for qualifying drought equal to one, two, or three times the monthly payment rate. Total LFP payments to an eligible producer in a calendar year for grazing losses due to a qualifying drought will not exceed three monthly payments for the same livestock. To be eligible for a one month payment, the eligible livestock producer must own or lease grazing land or pastureland that is physically located in a county that is rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as having at least a D2 severe drought (intensity) in any area of the county for at least 8 consecutive weeks during the normal grazing period for the specific type of grazing land or pastureland in the county. To be eligible for a two month payment, the eligible livestock producer must own or lease grazing land or pastureland that is physically located in a county that is rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as having at least a D3 extreme drought (intensity) in any area of the county at any time during the normal grazing period for the specific type of grazing land or pastureland for the county. To be eligible for a three month payment, the eligible livestock producer must own or lease grazing land or pastureland that is physically located in a county that is rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as having at lease a D3 extreme drought (intensity) in any area of the county for at least four weeks during the normal grazing period for the specific type of grazing land or pastureland for the county, or is rated as having a D4 exceptional drought (intensity) in any area of the county at any time during the normal grazing period for the specific type of grazing land or pastureland for the county. The monthly payment rate for grazing losses due to a qualifying drought for producers who suffer grazing losses on grazing lands located in a county due to drought will be equal to 60 percent of the lesser of the monthly feed cost for all covered livestock owned or leased by the eligible livestock producer or the monthly feed cost calculated using the normal carrying capacity of the eligible grazing land of the eligible livestock producer. If an eligible livestock producer sold or otherwise disposed of covered livestock due to a qualifying drought in one or bother of the two production year immediately preceding the current production year, the payment rate is 80 percent of the monthly payment rate.
Payment Eligibility For Losses Due To Fire
Livestock producers who suffer grazing losses on grazing lands managed by a Federal agency due to a fire, will receive a payment equal to 50 percent of the monthly feed cost for the number of days the producer is prohibited from grazing the managed range-land because of the qualifying fire, not to exceed 180 calendar days. The payment begins on the first day the permitted livestock are prohibited from grazing the eligible range-land and ending on the earlier of the last day of the Federal lease of the eligible livestock producer or the day that would make the period a 180 calendar day period.
Dec 10, 2009 To apply for LFP, producers that suffer eligible grazing losses during 2008 must file FSA-925 and required supporting documentation by no later that December 10, 2009. Producers that suffer eligible grazing losses during 2009 and later years must submit a completed FSA-925 and supporting documentation to the administrative FSA county office no later than 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar year in which the grazing loss occurs. Late filed applications will not be accepted.

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me on today's London Marathon. I am truly grateful for all of your Facebook messages, tweets and emails.
Today's race sadly didn't go to plan for me, but it did teach me a few lessons.
My race started really well. I had a target finish time in mind and my official split times for the first 25 km show that I was happily on course to achieve it.
Somewhere around the halfway point of the marathon I'd started to get a little pain in my lower right leg. By the time I reached the 25 km point the pain was intensifying and suddenly I found myself slowing to a walking pace.
Getting from 25km to 35 km hurt and was really slow. Every time I lifted my right foot I felt pain in my leg and I began to question if I could even finish.
When I wrote my blog post "Eight Lessons Marathon Training Taught Me About Achieving Any Goal" I nearly included a ninth lesson – listen to your body.
Today, I had no choice. I knew if I tried to sustain my pace I would not finish, so instead I had to listen to what my body was telling me and adapt to my situation.
I decided to reset my target and simply to focus on finishing the marathon, no matter how long it took.
For the first time ever in a race I felt the need to stop and talk to the medics. I was in pain and hoped they may be able to help. Sadly all they could offer for the injury I described was an ice pack and a suggestion that I may need to stop.
Around this time I saw my wife and daughter at the side of the course cheering me on. I mouthed to them that I was hurt – something my wife later said she could see from my face and the how slowly I was moving.
For me, being a strong role model for my kids is one of the biggest motivations in everything I do. Seeing my daughter yelling for her daddy made me decide I needed to change my approach again.
How could I increase my pace and resume a running pace?
I decided I simply needed to focus on something other than the pain. I put some strong images of my family in my mind. I began to repeatedly tell myself I would have a strong finish and make them proud.
I recently did a fire walk. I told myself that if I could put myself in the right frame of mind to walk on fire then this was nothing.
The result? The remainder of the course was completed just a fraction slower than my planned pace.
I finished about an hour slower than I had hoped with a time of 4 hours and 46 minutes, but given I ran approximately half of the race with an injury I'm happy with that.
I plan to run the London Marathon again. The atmosphere was electric and, due to the injury, this marathon and I have unfinished business.

Well done, Neil! Congratulations on finishing what you started, on pushing through the pain to get that medal.
Well done. I'm hoping to do one in the future.
Have no doubt you'll return and settle with the L.M. Congrats on running, and finishing, the race!
Awesome & big respect for all of the above. Well done. Great time too I think.

Q: Kibana not picking up records with @timestamp field I have the following JSON log that I am feeding into logstash and outputting into ElasticSearch. When the "@timestamp" is in the log, the record does not appear in Kibana. However, when I rename the JSON field in the log to "timestamp" (remove the @) it works. How can I fix this so that it properly picks up entries with the @timestamp field? Thanks.
JSON Log:
    {
    "@timestamp": "2017-02-14T15:55:05.070Z",
    "@version": "1",
    "action": "create",
    "controller": "MyController",
    "db": 10.51,
    "duration": 40.77,
    "format": "json",
    "message": "[200] POST /api/mycontroller (MYCONTROLLER#create)",
    "method": "POST",
    "path": "/api/mycontroller",
    "remote_ip": "55.11.99.000",
    "status": 200,
    "user_id": 8888,
    "view": 12.91
}

logstash.conf
  input {
    tcp {
        port => 5000
    }
}
filter {
  json {
    source => "message"
  }
}
output {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => "elasticsearch:9200"
    }
    stdout {codec => rubydebug}
}

A: Typically how this is done is to put the timestamp from the source into a field that isn't @timestamp and then add a date { } filter to turn that field into the @timestamp value there.
filter {
  date {
    match => [ "timestamp", ISO8601 ]
  }
  mutate {
    remove_field => [ "timestamp" ]
  }
}

It seems odd to do this in post-processing, but Logstash likes it that way. The mutate {} gets rid of the extra timestamp field, so it won't show up in your ES documents.

A: That's because Kibana, does create a @timestamp field for itself by default to index the events. So since you're having a field with the same name, Kibana is trying to override it with the browser's time.
So what you could do is as @sysadmin1138 suggested, mutate the @timestamp field by replacing the value into a new field and the remove the existing @timestamp so that you it won't get overridden.
If you wish you could still have the @timestamp field, as long as you've replaced it with a new field. In that case you might be having two timestamps, one the default Kibana's @timestamp plus the new timestamp field you created so that you'll have the freedom to index the events as you wish based on the timestamp you need.

Setting the stage with just a 'plunk' or two from his piano, Count Basie's big band in the '30s swung harder than any other, giving the world such talents as Lester Young, Buck Clayton and "Sweets" Edison. That trio, along with the Count himself, created a freewheeling beast featuring sizzling improvs and solos. Basie's 'Testament' bands of the '50s operated like soulful, well-oiled machines, and were reliant on arrangers like Neal Hefti, Quincy Jones and Frank Foster. The vocal platform was perfectly suited to Basie's '50s sound -- he had great success with superstar singers Joe Williams, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald.

Resort, fire department comment on death at Chena Hot Springs pool
By Sara Tewksbury |

Updated: Mon 8:10 PM, Sep 09, 2019
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) On August 25th, a 54-year-old man died in the rock pool at Chena Hot Springs. Fire Chief Scott Learned, with Steese Volunteer Fire Department, says they received report of a drowning at about 3 p.m. at Chena Hot Springs and responded with an ambulance and support vehicles at about 3:56 p.m. due to the distance.
On August 25th, a 54-year-old man died in the rock pool at Chena Hot Springs. Bernie Karl, co-owner of the resort at Chena Hot Springs give his comments on the death of a patron in the hot springs rock pool. Fire Chief Scott Learned also gives his comments about the situation and gives safety recommendations. (John Dougherty/KTVF)
"We were advised that the resort had found an individual floating in the rock pool. He had been pulled from the pool and that CPR had been in progress by bystanders the entire time that we had been responding. Once we got on scene and made contact with the patient, it was determined the patient was deceased," said Learned. The scene was then turned over to the Alaska State Troopers who are investigating the cause of death. While the investigation is still ongoing, troopers have released the name of the man, Alvaro Islas Guzman of Las Vegas.
Co-owner of the Chena Hot Springs Resort, Bernie Karl, said that Guzman was a regular.
A bystander of the incident at the hot springs wrote on Facebook some observations about the resort's emergency preparedness. The bystander Brenda Riley wrote on Facebook stating several observations about how the incident was handled, including:
"The CHS staff was untrained in first aid/CPR/Emergency response.
The staff didn't shut down or clear the springs, in fact, they kept charging people to keep coming in. Incoming dippers were directed to climb over the landscaping rocks to get into the pool.
No first aid kit was on hand. What little supplies were found were because bystanders began combing through drawers and cabinets.
The staff didn't know there was a backboard (I asked) and when it was found at the far end of the pool, the buckles were rusted shut.
Only one AED was found and it died shortly after being put into use."
When asked if the resort is prepared for emergencies of this kind, Karl said 'absolutely.'
"The bystander is totally mistaken, I want to say that the only thing that was true that [she] said was that the buckles were rusted on the backboard, that's the only thing that was true in that statement," said Karl.
Karl said the staff at Chena Hot Springs is trained and prepared for these emergency situations.
"Absolutely, so we have over half the staff is trained, they have CPR, first aid, know how to use the heart machine, and [she] was totally mixed up when [she] said the heart machine wasn't there and didn't work, that was total nonsense, didn't know where it was at, our manager Jena Gavora personal went and got it so that's what I know about that stuff, just fallacy total fallacy," said Karl.
Learned said the AED machine was not used due to the patient being in a damp environment being pulled out of the pool and pulled onto the walkway of the pool, that they did not use the AED for fear that they may have issues with possibly being shocked. Learned said because of poor communication out at the hot springs, he had to stay in his vehicle so he could use his cell phone and communicate with his crew via radio, so he did not see the scene himself.
In response to the observation that customers were continued to let in while the emergency situation was occurring, Karl said they were only let in after the scene was secured.
"We have people that drive 60 miles, the threat was taken care of, it was blocked off, nobody went in to where he was at, and they went around where the hot tub is and entered into the rock lake from another place, there was no reason, nobody got in until the place was secured, they secured that walk way, so again that was total nonsense," said Karl.
"It was a very busy Sunday afternoon, sunny, there was a lot of customers at the area, again I can't speak to what was actually happening where the patient was, because again I didn't get in to that area but there was a lot of activity in the area, a lot of people around. A number of people came up just asked what was going on, that sort of thing, again I didn't actually see what was going on where the patient was," said Learned.
Learned says that although they do not get actively involved in emergency preparedness for businesses, if anyone wanted any suggestions of how to be better prepared for emergencies until first responders can arrive on scene.
"Fairbanks is a large community, and it's a large area to cover and we do the best we can given the resources we have and unfortunately events like this do happen but when you do partake in events in rural areas you have to expect that you're not going to have immediate response, we have the best response we can give you but again the distances involved, it just takes a while for us to get there sometimes. So having bystanders that did CPR gave the individual the best possible chance he had of surviving," said Learned.

We frequently see hospital systems focus the bulk of their patient safety activity on the inpatient side. Historically, there have always been fewer serious adverse events in the ambulatory surgery suite, whether hospital-based or free-standing, than in acute care hospital operating rooms. This, of course, largely reflects the relatively good overall health of the patient population and the fact that procedures are generally less complex than those done in acute care settings. Nevertheless, serious incidents can occur in ambulatory surgery settings and there are certain factors unique to these settings that may predispose to certain kinds of error. In fact, more than half of the wrong-site surgeries reported to Joint Commission have occurred in ambulatory surgery sites.
One factor is that a surgeon will often be performing many cases of the same or similar procedures. Interestingly, very experienced surgeons may be more likely to be involved in wrong-site cases, perhaps because their experience allows them to schedule so many cases in one day.
The quality of the medical records is often not as good in ambulatory settings. The "facility" medical record is often scant and the physician often brings in his/her office notes that are "unofficial" as far as the facility is concerned. Often critical information is in the physician office record and never appears in the facility medical record. It is therefore incumbent upon the facility and entire team to ensure the adequacy of the medical record and all documentation prior to the procedure.
Another practice that should be frowned upon is allowing the medical records of multiple patients to be in the operating room. We've seen instances where a surgeon might bring in a stack of office charts on all the patients on that day's ambulatory schedule. The system should never allow one to mistakenly pick up the chart of the wrong patient during a procedure. The same applies to other things a physician might bring in for all the day's patients (eg. X-rays, scans, implants, etc.). The rule should be that all the things in the OR apply to only the patient on the table.
And there are certain production pressures unique to the ambulatory setting. When a surgeon is booked for many cases in one day, there is a higher likelihood of last-minute changes in the schedule. Also, we've seen cases in the ambulatory setting where one patient may demand a procedure earlier in the day, leading to last-minute alterations in the order on the schedule. And lastly, the pressure to get cases done promptly and stay on schedule are everpresent.
Remember that all elements of the Joint Commission Universal Protocol apply equally to the ambulatory setting. And keep in mind that the verification process must take place at multiple points preoperatively, including at the time the procedure is scheduled.
Availability of all appropriate documents at the "timeout" is essential. They should be reviewed for actual content rather than simply acknowledging their presence and there should be agreement by all on what the documents say rather than simply having individual review of the documents. And, of course, good communication among all team members, utilization of hearback, requiring agreement of all team members before proceding, and involvement of the patient and/or family are all important in ensuring safe outcomes.
Organizations should utilize some of the resources available for patient safety in the ambulatory surgery setting. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has issued good guidance statements on avoiding wrong-site surgery and avoiding incorrect intraocular lens placement , with good examples of how checklists might be utilized. And the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons also has very good resources.
Overall compliance with the "timeout" requirements of Joint Commission's patient safety goals for ambulatory surgery is still only in the 80% range so organizations should take a hard look there.
Joint Commission is also finding less than full compliance in ambulatory surgery on several medication-related goals (eg. medication reconciliation, labeling medications and solutions, "do not use" abbreviations, and look-alike/sound-alike drugs). We'll address some of those issues in future Tips of the Week.

Continuing to reflect on the evil in Aurora, Colorado… How it gripped a young man, James Holmes … How it relishes and feeds off of the rippled effects of violence in victims and families and ultimately anyone who hears the story … How it must be confronted with the lamentations of Jeremiah and the righteous accountability of Job. Job …who gets to ask God face-to-face why evil happens and gets no satisfactory reply.
Below is an excerpt from a lovely letter written by a Lutheran pastor in Fort Collins. It helped me keep my reflections grounded in the unknowable heart of God.
… In the coming days and weeks, you will probably encounter well-meaning people who will say to you, it is all part of God's plan, even if we don't understand it now. Everything happens for a reason. If these words are helpful for you to hear, I'm glad. But if these words tear at already-raw places in you and fill you with anger or despair, please know this: not all people of faith believe these things. I do not believe them.
The God I know in Jesus Christ does not use natural disasters or human-caused massacres to reward some and punish others. I believe God is able to reach into sin and death and pull out healing and life; this is a different thing from engineering tragedy for a so-called greater purpose. The God I serve and proclaim to others does not cause or desire human suffering.
I also suspect many of you, like us, may be asking why. Why did this happen? The media and the justice system will do their best to answer this question in the literal sense, trying to determine why James Holmes apparently entered a movie theater and began shooting at random. In a sense, however, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, because even if we get a "why"–an explanation from the shooter, or a more comprehensive understanding of the circumstances that comes with time–these answers will still not be enough.
