The LV100 X-series HVIGBT modules will offer power density of 8.57A/cm2 , which Mitsubishi believes to be the highest on the market. This enables inverter systems to achieve increased power output and efficiency, as well as more flexible configurations and higher reliability for railways, power transmission and other large industrial application.
The seventh generation IGBTs use carrier stored trench-gate bipolar transistor (CSTBT) and Relaxed Field of Cathode (RFC) planar diodes to get the power density of 8.57A/cm2
Three AC main terminals spread and equalize the current density to increase the inverter capacity and provide easy parallel connection for flexible configurations and capacities. Mitsubishi has also developed a new package structure for extra reliability by integrating the isolating plate and heat sink. This increases the thermal cycle lifetime for relatively long-term cycling of case temperatures and the lower thermal resistance increases power cycle lifetime for relatively short-term cycling of chip temperatures
The 450A and 600A modules measure 100×140×40mm3 and provide an 6kVrms isolation and will be available in September 2017. Further SiC modules are planned.

Virginia Tech addiction expert lauds surgeon general’s report on substance use disorders, calls for treatment reform
Following a landmark report by the U.S. Surgeon General calling substance use disorders of multiple types a public health crisis, a nationally-recognized Virginia Tech addiction expert says the country must start treating the issue as a legitimate medical problem deserving of treatment rather than a criminal one always deserving of prison.
“I can understand people want to criminally prosecute people who are dealing drugs, because that’s spreading the problem,” said Warren Bickel, director of the Addiction Recovery Research Center at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute. “But people who are using the drug — not only is it not cost-effective, and not only does it not really treat the problem, but really what it’s saying is these people who are suffering from this disorder are criminals.
"Imagine if we started criminalized asthma and diabetes. What have we done? We’ve put people in jail for a long period of time and we only feel like the problem is better.”
The report by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy positions other addictions like alcohol and tobacco in the same category as drug use, saying that “substance use disorders represent one of the most pressing public health crises of our time.”
“How we respond to this crisis is a moral test for America,” Murthy said in the report.
Bickel agrees. If there’s one silver lining to the documented increase in addiction to opioid drugs, alcohol, and tobacco in America, Bickel said, it may be that it’s touching enough people “that folks are starting to say, ‘Wow, I guess this isn’t a problem of people who lack moral fiber or character given that my son or mother or daughter or uncle or wife or husband have this problem.’ ”
Bickel is an addiction research expert whose work focuses on solving the problem of addiction and other dysfunctional health behaviors by understanding how an individual continues to engage in a behavior despite recognizing that this behavior is both problematic and self-handicapping. He is director of the Addiction Recovery Research Center at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute. He holds professorships in psychology at Virginia Tech’s College of Science and in psychiatry and behavioral medicine at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.
On the surgeon general’s report
“We need to recognize that addiction is a pervasive problem, it’s a chronic problem, and we don’t have adequate treatment in part due to social stigma and diminished resources. I think the surgeon general is right on.”
“Too often our existing treatments for substance abuse treat it like it’s a cold or an acute disorder, so we treat it briefly and then we send the person back into the real world and they relapse. Imagine if we treated type 2 diabetes or asthma as acute conditions — we’d have a lot of relapse. So we need to start modulating our treatments to think about supporting people in recovery over extended periods in order to facilitate them sustaining their recovery.”
On social stigma
“In America you can ask any room full of people, ‘Have you been touched by this disorder?’ Either by a loved one or someone you know or a neighbor. I think you’d be hard pressed for many people in that room to raise their hand. It’s a big problem. And it’s a problem that’s not a character flaw but rather is a synergistic interaction of the environment, one’s history growing up, including the ravages of stress and the availability of intoxicating agents.”
On changing the healthcare system
“We’re getting better and better at finding ways to treat and address frank disorders of biology,” Bickel said, noting modern medicine increasingly has novel treatments for things like cancers and significant heart disease. “Ultimately what’s going to be a bigger and bigger slice of the health care challenges that we face are going to be those health care problems that result from our own behavior, be that drug use, alcohol use, smoking, obesity, and failure to comply with medication and other doctors’ orders.”

More news is emerging out of Germany about upcoming hybrids from Porsche. It has already been revealed that both the Cayenne and the Panamera sedan will be getting hybrid variants. It now looks like we might see a hybrid VW Touareg as soon as 2008 with a 50hp electric motor mated up to a 3.6L 280 V-6 engine. That powertrain would be migrated into the Cayenne in 2009 and may appear in the Panamera at its launch the same year. Unlike Lexus, it looks like Porsche is actually trying to create a more efficient version with the hybrids by using a smaller engine rather than mating the hybrid to their biggest gas engines. Of course this is all relative, since this thing will still be far from green.
- Is the new Porsche 911 GT2 high performance and high MPG?
- Porsche hybrids coming soon and maybe diesels too

CREWE jobs are under threat after Japanese electronics giant Fujitsu announced it is to axe 1,200 posts.
The company has said the Crewe Business Park site would not be closing - but could not confirm where the job losses would be.
A spokesman said: “It is not going to be geographically based so there is not a particular site targeted for closure.”
He said at the moment it was impossible to say how many jobs would be affected in Crewe, where 260 people are employed.
“We are starting the consultation process and voluntary redundancies will be a part of that,” said the spokesman. “It is a 90 day period.”
He said by the end of the year the situation would be clearer.
Crewe and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson said: “It is always concerning to hear that specific jobs are at risk in Crewe and Nantwich. Fortunately this scheme at Fujitsu does not attack jobs on a geographical basis, so not all jobs at Crewe Business Park are under threat.
“However, the company are seeking to reduce their 12,500 workforce nationwide by 10%, and this will have some impact on our local site. I am in touch with Fujitsu, who are beginning their consultation shortly, and I will be keeping a close eye on developments.”

“What commands does she know?”
The woman gazed at me, a thick bulldog mix resting at her feet.
This was always one of the first questions I asked when meeting a new pup, and inevitably I’d be met with a variety of responses, most to include “Sit”, “Down”, and “Stay”. This instance was no different.
As she recited the basic commands she had worked on with her last trainer, it was clear that she was quite proud of herself. She grinned as she told me all of the work she had done, her face glowing as she added that her dog could also “Shake”. But her contentment began to vanish as I uttered my next request.
“Show me,” I said.
Her proud demeanor was instantly replaced with insecurity as she stood up from the couch and walked to the middle of the living room.
As she moved, the blocky Bully stood, meeting her owner with instant and feverish tail wags and a massive Bully grin.
Pretending she had a treat in her hand, the woman asked for her first command.
“Sit!” she requested, in a sing-song tone.
The dog complied, barely able to sit still as her bottom half danced uncontrollably with every wag.
The moment the dog complied with the command, her owner gave her a quick pat and held out her empty hands, showing her cards and effectively letting her dog know there was no good reason for her continue to participate.
Despite the fact that she had revealed her secret, the woman pretended to have a treat a second time and lowered her hand to the ground, asking the dog to “lay down”. The dog grinned up at her but failed to take the position. Instead, she stared adoringly up at her faltering owner and was shortly thereafter met with some good ear scratches as the woman realized the dog was not going to take the position.
She stuttered as I watched her work the dog, her nerves getting the better of her and her insecurity doubling when her dog failed to lay down.
“I should probably have treats,” she said, her voice wavering. “We always do this with treats.”
I looked on as she grabbed a dog biscuit from a nearby box and asked for the command again. The reward in her sights, the dog instantly took the position for which she was rewarded with a large cookie that she gulped down as if it were nothing more than the air she breathed. She then popped up and out of the position as her owner fished for another cookie from the box.
Are you predictable?
More often than not these days, and much like their human counterparts, dogs lack patience. In fact, it’s rare that I meet clients with dogs that maintain any level of patience in their commands, and it’s even more uncommon that I meet dogs that maintain focus in between training exercises.
Exasperated owners approach me time and time again, wondering why their dog isn’t focusing or wondering why their dog will only focus when they have a treat in hand. I’ve even met an ever growing number of dog owners who plain refuse to use food in training for fear of a life long dependence on the tool.
I hate to break it to you, but this is something you’ve taught. Or at least something you’ve reinforced. In fact, food is one of the most effective tools for training dogs – you just might not be using it right.
Why? Because YOU are too predictable.
You’ve taught them that “Sit” = tasty-treat-and-exercise-over. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Let’s face it, if every time your dog sits, you give them a single biscuit from a familiar box, what’s to keep them sitting for any duration of time? Of course their butt will instantly pop out of the sit once they’ve been rewarded. Why shouldn’t it? What have you done to teach them to be patient?
Sure, you could approach this by dangling the treat in front of them, by drawing out the time before the reward is issued, thereby making them wait, filled with ever mounting anticipation for the reward that will surely come.
But does that actually promote patience? You can bet the instant that dog gets what he’s after, his butt will pop off the ground, and you’ll be back at square one.
Is your dog outsmarting you?
Dogs are smart. On a regular day, I’d venture to say my dog outsmarts me at least once. And to be frank, I think I’m pretty fluent at speaking dog. Imagine how many times the average dog outsmarts the average owner who doesn’t necessarily speak dog all that well.
When we find ourselves rewarding the same behavior in the same manner day in and day out, our dog starts to predict our action. Good for establishing a common language, for teaching our pup what words mean and that good behavior = good rewards. But not so good when our rewards become so predictable that they end up predicating unwanted behavior.
Think about it. By giving your dog a single biscuit day in and day out every time he sits, you are becoming predictable. When you become predictable, your dog starts to make decisions on his own. Now, because you are predictable, he can start making decisions based on your future behavior.
If he knows what reward to expect, he can decide things like:
“Is it good enough?”, or “Is it worth it?”
If there are other interesting things going on, he can do the bare minimum to get the reward and then instantly be off engaging with whatever interests him at that moment.
Here is another, more relatable example:
Let’s look at your common employee in a retail store. Or better yet, let’s look at my direct experience when I managed a high end chain of pet hotels.
Employees at the pet hotel were given an incentive for arriving to work on time. If they were on time consistently for 30 days and only had 2 late clock-ins, they would be given lunch on the company – something that seemed appealing but never really trumped those extra 10 minutes of sleep for most. For those who did find the incentive valuable enough, or for those who were naturally on time, as soon as the reward was achieved, it seemed as though they’d instantly be late. They got their reward, and now there was no immediate incentive to be on time. 10 extra minutes of sleep….here they come!
Now imagine if those same employees were given random incentives. Imagine if those incentives were unpredictable. Perhaps they get rewarded 3 times within a month for being on time. And imagine the rewards varied. Imagine if they never knew when a reward was going to be doled out and imagine if they never knew if that reward was going to be a free lunch or a new car…..okay, the new car may be extreme, but you catch my drift.
You can bet that attendance would be up, and tardiness would be down. Why? Because the schedule is unpredictable, but the promise of something amazing is always there.
Why are we so boring with our dogs?
What makes you so boring to your dog? Why do you feel the need to do the same exercise, day in and day out, with the same outcome?
How to keep ‘em guessing:
- Vary the Rewards: In the initial phases of training, we typically use food. But do you always have to reward with the SAME food? While this may be ok for a highly food motivated pup, if your dog lacks focus or engagement, perhaps its time to mix things up. One day you could use your dog’s kibble, and one day you could use cut and boiled chicken. Sure, you want a few treats to hold value for those really tough situations, so you can leave those out of this routine, or better yet, you can toss them in VERY rarely so your dog is always thinking the “jackpot” may come. By changing your reward, you can combat the mindset of the dog who wonders, “Is this really worth it?”, as he never really knows what it is he’s going to get.
- Vary the Volume: When I start dogs out, I reward pretty consistently. After all, I need to build an association that obeying “X Command” = Really Good Stuff. That being said, I don’t simply offer a single treat and then send my pup on their way. By doing that, I would be contributing to impatience in commands and predictability in my reward system. Instead, I reward consistently, treat after treat. Sometimes the dog gets 3 treats, sometimes they get 7, and sometimes… they get entire handfuls of kibble. The key here is that I only reward IN the behavior. By doing this, you’ll instantly build patience in your commands as the dog holds the position, never knowing if another reward is on the way.
- Vary the Value: Most people’s training regimen looks like this: Around the house or in low distraction settings, rewards are low value. As distractions increase, so does reward value. But why? Why be so predictable to your pup? Instead, what if your reward schedule as a whole was unpredictable. For my pup, for instance, occasionally I reward with kibble. Occasionally I reward with chicken or meat. And occasionally I reward with the coveted tug, for which we have built such value that it trumps anything and everything in his life. For him, the tug is the jackpot (that or his bite work decoy). Of course, in general, my rewards have higher value as distractions peak, but I don’t leave those high value rewards out of my training at home. And when I’m out and about, my moves are never predictable. Regardless of where we are, he never knows what he’s going to get. And because he never knows, his focus remains peaked, ever hoping for that jackpot game of tug.
- Vary your Reinforcement: When you first start teaching a new command, you’ll want to reinforce consistently. After all, you are trying to establish a correlation. “If, I sit,” for instance, “I get a reward”. As the command is new, you don’t want the correlation to become “If I sit, I sometimes get something good.” At first, you simply want to teach that sitting is AWESOME. But once your dog gets the hang of things, you’ll want to start phasing out your reward. After all, you don’t want to have to carry treats with you for the rest of your life… do you? To accomplish this, we simply reward in a variable and unpredictable fashion. Sometimes your dog gets some kibble, sometimes your dog gets a pat on the head, and other times, your dog gets the coveted jackpot. It’s variable, and, if the promise of something good is always present, your dog will continue to maintain focus and anticipation in his work.
The bully in the story suffered from one ailment: a predictable owner. She knew that if she held out long enough, her mom would get a treat to entice her to behave. She knew what the treat was (it was always the same, and after all, she WATCHED her owner retrieve it from the box), and she knew that it was “one and done”. For that reason, she easily made the decision as to whether or not her reward was worth the effort. And when she did agree to behave, she knew the exercise was over the moment the reward was achieved.
In training, while consistency and predictability are key in giving our words meaning (i.e. “Sit” = GOOD), to achieve peak performance, our rewards can’t become predictable or boring. We have to keep our dogs guessing. And we have to keep the promise of “GREAT” dangling in front of them. If we can accomplish that, we can achieve levels of focus and engagement that we once thought were inconceivable.
Quit letting your dog outsmart you…… as much as possible! And quit being boring and predictable. Your dog, and his engagement, will thank you!
Keep an eye out for our upcoming course where we will deep dive into the use and application of rewards. Learn how to select the appropriate reward for different phases of training, and how best to implement that reward for maximum engagement.

Armenia on Tuesday denounced Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for objecting, at a meeting with an Azerbaijani official, to its efforts to install another Armenian secretary general of the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
Russia and five other ex-Soviet states making up the alliance agreed in 2015 that their representatives will take turns to run the organization on a rotating basis. They appointed Armenia’s Yuri Khachaturov as CSTO secretary general in 2017.
The new Armenian government cut shot Khachaturov’s three-year tour of duty after he was controversially charged in July in connection with the 2008 post-election violence in Yerevan. It hoped that another Armenian official will be allowed to replace Khachaturov and run the CSTO until 2020.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian insisted on that at a CSTO summit held in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana on November 8. Lukashenko as well as Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev demanded, however, that a representative of Belarus be named as new head of the CSTO.
For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly proposed a compromise solution that would see the CSTO’s acting secretary general, Valery Semerikov, retain his position in the interim.
The CSTO leaders said they will again try to reach consensus on the issue when they meet again in Saint Petersburg, Russia on December 6.
Lukashenko made a point of reaffirming his position when he met on Monday with a senior diplomat from Azerbaijan, a country which is at war with Armenia and not part of the CSTO. He noted another Russian-led bloc, the Eurasian Economic Union, is also run by an Armenian.
“This is a very heavy burden for a country which is going through a period of transition,” added Lukashenko. “Can Armenia carry that burden?”
Lukashenko’s comments raised eyebrows in Yerevan. Local politicians and commentators believe he deliberately made them at a meeting with Azerbaijan’s ambassador in Minsk in order to add insult to injury.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Anna Naghdalian, also criticized the remarks. “Armenia regards the CSTO as a platform for discussions on the collective security agenda applying to six states … This development highlights the need for the CSTO to sort out issues within itself, and as regards this situation, I must point out that it is not correct after all,” she told reporters.
Lukashenko has never made his secret of his warm rapport with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev. The long-serving Belarusian leader underlined it at Monday’s meeting with the Azerbaijani diplomat, saying that all of his agreements with Aliyev are “sacred” for him.
In particular, Belarus has been a major supplier of weapons to Azerbaijan. Those include Belarusian-made Polonez missiles that have a firing range of 200 kilometers. The Azerbaijani military apparently acquired them early this year.
In early 2017, Lukashenko also sparked a bitter diplomatic row with Yerevan after ordering Belarusian law-enforcement authorities to arrest and hand over to Azerbaijan a Russian-Israeli blogger who had repeatedly visited Nagorno-Karabakh without Baku’s permission.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry condemned the move and implicitly branded Belarus a “dictatorship.” Senior Armenian lawmakers launched even more scathing attacks on Lukashenko at the time.

Everyone loves a party. Even when the occasion is not a big and loud party, people almost never turn down meal invitations at special occasions. So, if you’re hosting one, apart from the food, how do you make your space look special? How do you make the same dining room that everyone has seen a million times in your house, look beautiful and exciting for your guests? Here are a few simple ways to decorate you dining room for special occasions without breaking the bank.
This is probably the easiest and maybe the fastest way to make any space come alive, no matter how dreary it currently looks. Balloons amplify the mood and make everything look exciting. Depending on the type of occasion, the specific colors could vary. If it is a children’s party for example, you could use multiple multi-colored ones. If it’s for adult, it might not be necessary for it to look too colorful. Regardless, balloons are a fantastic way to decorate and change the aspect of a room.
This is another very inexpensive way to decorate your dining room. Candles come in different shapes, sizes and even scents. While it might not be a good idea to fill up your dining room with scented candles so you don’t upset your guests’ stomachs with all kinds of smells, a few of them in corners of the room help keep your room smelling fresh. Candles give the room a certain kind of mood lighting which is attractive to visitors. There are also quite a number of beautiful candleholders and coverings that change the color of the light coming from the candles, making the room a lot more beautiful.
Well decorated furniture often helps any room look more fascinating. A tablecloth can be used to make the dining room more beautiful. Depending on the kind of occasion being hosted, certain patterns or designs on tablecloths improve the atmosphere in the room. The chairs can also be decorated with ribbons or even chair covers. The choice of the color of these accessories depends solely on the host’s ideas but there is a wide variety of patterns, colors and designs to pick from and can also be used again and again to host more and more special occasions.
Away from furniture, we now move to the walls. Wallpapers are fantastic and can be used to transform a room completely. If a host is meticulous enough, they can even change the wallpaper in their dining room to match the occasion they are hosting, especially if there’s a theme. Just like the tablecloths mentioned earlier, wallpapers also come in many different designs and patterns that will beautify your dining room. Wallpapers can be used to cover the entire surface area of the walls or just certain parts. Again, this depends on the host.
Whether it’s a Van Gogh painting or it’s an enlarged frame of a picture taken with your own handheld camera, art adds beauty to its surroundings. A carefully placed picture, a mini sculpture or even a bubblehead of a beloved character keeps guests engaged and gives them something to admire. It could also a good conversation starter.
A host can have two different occasions in the same dining room with the same guests and have them completely surprised on how different the place can seem. With the right decorations meticulously placed around a room, this can be easily achieved.

Oneonta Superintendent Michael Douglas released results for the 2015 spring semester ACT results at the board’s December meeting Monday night. Results cover performance of students in grades three through eight on the ACT Aspire test and performance of 10th grade students on the ACT PLAN test. Both tests were given in April, with comparative data released by the state in late October.
Below are the results showing how Oneonta schools scored compared to 136 (all) other public school systems in the state.
“We’re proud of the work of both the staff and the students reflected by these data,” Douglas said.“Obviously, we’re happy with the results that show strong performance. For those results that we’d like to be better, we’ll be working hard to see that they improve.”

The Huawei P40s are the best smartphones in the field of photography, announces the Technical Image Press Association, an association of 29 European photography magazines. The range has just won the TIPA World Awards 2020. They succeed the P30, P20 and P10 Plus.

CLICK HERE TO BUY THE HUAWEI P40 PRO
The Huawei P40's camera continues to make a name for itself! As has been the case every year since 1991, TIPA experts have awarded prizes to the best products dedicated to photography. In the "smartphone" category, the association awarded the Huawei P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro. "Smartphone photographic performance is taking another big step forward with the latest generation of Huawei's P-range," TIPA says on its official website.

Huawei wins for the 4th year in a row!
TIPA praises algorithms doped with artificial intelligence,which has spearheaded Huawei for several years. "The remarkable features of smartphones include AI-based white balance algorithms, including algorithms dedicated to color and texture optimization, significantly improved dynamic range and increased low-light performance, color temperature sensors and impressive focus capability on all pixels," tipA explains.
This is not the first time the association has praised Huawei's knowledge. This is already the fourth consecutive event in which the Chinese manufacturer wins the title. In 2017, the Huawei P10 Plus excited TIPA. In 2018, the association had crowned the P20 Pro. And last year, TIPA unsurprisingly voted the P30 Pro best smartphone in photography. It should be noted that this time TIPA did not focus on a particular model. It is the entire range that is highlighted.
TIPA is not the only organization to sing the rentals of the camera designed by Huawei and Leica. A few weeks ago, DxOMark elected the Huawei P40 Pro king of photo and selfies after a rigorous battery of laboratory tests.


American Athletic Conference
Mountain West Conference
Sun Belt Conference
Highest-ranked Group of Five team: Marshall
Shane Carden, QB, East Carolina
Conference USA’s Most Valuable Player in 2013 is poised to dominate a new league following East Carolina’s move to the American. Carden posted eye-popping numbers last year and returns his favorite target in wide receiver Justin Hardy (114 catches, 1,284 receiving yards, eight touchdowns). As his 70.5 completion rate from last fall indicates, Carden is smart with the ball and takes what opposing defenses give him.
Rakeem Cato, QB, Marshall
RICKMAN: Marshall is No. 25 in SI’s preseason Top 25 rankings
Matt Johnson, QB, Bowling Green
Johnson’s impressive 2013 campaign helped Bowling Green upset Jordan Lynch and Northern Illinois to claim the MAC championship. Now, after Dave Clawson’s departure and coach Dino Babers’ hire, Johnson could be primed to dwarf his prior exploits. Babers is the offensive mind who helped make Robert Griffin III a Heisman winner and Jimmy Garoppolo an FCS star. He’ll give Johnson many opportunities to thrive in his up-tempo offense.
Chuckie Keeton, QB, Utah State
RICKMAN: Chuckie Keeton looks to return to form after injury
Michael Orakpo, LB, Texas State
Orakpo was named to Bruce Feldman’s 2014 “Freaks” list, and with good reason: The junior linebacker bench presses 560 pounds, incline benches 500 pounds and power cleans 375 pounds. He recorded a vertical jump of 41.5 inches and a 40-yard dash of 4.53 seconds. That elite combination of power and speed gives Orakpo -- the brother of Washington Redskins’ star Brian Orakpo -- tremendous versatility. His production should only increase with his move to inside linebacker this year.
Ron Turner, Florida International
To land on the hot seat after just one season takes an especially awful debut. Turner’s sufficed. The Golden Panthers won one game in 2013, a 24-23 victory over Southern Miss, and ranked last in the FBS in total and scoring offense. Now, the unorthodox hire -- Turner hadn’t coached in college since his 35-57 tenure at Illinois ended in ‘04 -- is staring at a slate that appears equally daunting.
Norm Chow, Hawaii
The longtime offensive coordinator has not adapted well to his first head coaching gig, winning just four games in his first two seasons at Hawaii. The days of Sugar Bowl berths under former coach June Jones are gone; even Chow’s former prowess of offensive strategy seems to have deserted him -- Hawaii finished 72nd nationally in scoring offense last fall. With Hawaii’s athletic director discussing the “possibility" of dropping the football program altogether, the whole team could be considered on the hot seat.
Skip Holtz, Louisiana Tech
After leading East Carolina to back-to-back Conference USA titles in 2008 and ‘09, little has gone right for Holtz. His South Florida teams got progressively worse during his three-year tenure, leading to his exit after a 3-9 campaign in ‘12. In his first year at Louisiana Tech, Holtz took a Bulldogs squad that went 9-3 in its final season under Sonny Dykes and went 4-8. Year two could be tough, too, as Louisiana Tech has a porous offensive line and questions at quarterback.
Three key nonconference games
Boise State vs. Ole Miss (in Atlanta), Aug. 28 (ESPN)
Week 1 will offer the first big clue as to whether Boise State can maintain the success it experienced under Chris Petersen now that Bryan Harsin is in charge. One game against an on-the-rise SEC opponent won’t make or break the Harsin era, but this matchup should provide some early insight into how the Broncos will rebound from an 8-5 campaign, their worst finish under Petersen. Injuries and inexperience plagued last year’s Boise State team. There is reason to expect improvement in 2014.
Appalachian State at Michigan, Aug. 30 (ESPN2)
Appalachian State heads into its season opener with low expectations, as the Mountaineers join the FBS fresh off a 4-8 mark in their final FCS campaign. Still, if Michigan learned one thing from these teams’ matchup in 2007, it’s not to take Appalachian State lightly. This is the program that won a conference title as recently as '12 and won three straight FCS championships from ‘05 to ’07.
Louisiana at Ole Miss, Sept. 13 (SEC Network)
Ole Miss will have to fend off another strong Group of Five foe in September, this time at home against Louisiana. Playing in the Sun Belt, the Ragin’ Cajuns will be hard-pressed to earn the Group of Five’s berth into the New Year’s Six bowls. A road victory over the Rebels would certainly bolster their cause.
Three key conference games
East Carolina at Cincinnati, Nov. 13 (ESPN2)
East Carolina is poised to immediately jump into the mix for an American Athletic Conference title. A November meeting with Cincinnati should help sort out the top of the league standings. The Bearcats ranked 12th nationally in yards allowed per play (4.7) last year. They’ll need that defensive aptitude to stifle Carden and a potent Pirates’ offense.
Bowling Green at Toledo, Nov. 19 (ESPN2/ESPNU)
Bowling Green will undergo a transformation with the introduction of Babers’ offense, which helped Eastern Illinois lead the FCS in both total offense (589.5 yards per game) and scoring offense (48.2 points per game) in 2013. In addition to Johnson, the Falcons return tailback Travis Greene, who set a school record with 1,594 rushing yards last fall. Meanwhile, Toledo is one of three teams (along with Northern Illinois and Ball State) in the hunt to win the MAC West. This late-season matchup could be a preview of the conference championship game, especially if the Rockets take care of business at Northern Illinois the week before.
Utah State at Boise State, Nov. 29 (TBD)
The road to the Mountain West championship will likely run through the Mountain Division, which features the top two squads in the conference. The Aggies and Broncos end the regular season on the blue turf in what will likely serve as a de facto league semifinal. The winner will be the heavy favorite to claim the title.
Five key questions
How will UCF weather the loss of Blake Bortles and Storm Johnson? After spoiling what was supposed to be Louisville’s coronation and big sendoff from the American, UCF waved goodbye to its own royalty in quarterback Bortles and running back Johnson. Replacing the duo that accounted for 87 percent of the Knights’ total offense in 2013 won’t be easy, and the loss of two all-AAC linemen won’t make that task any simpler. However, all four starters return to a UCF secondary that allowed 6.5 yards per passing attempt last year. Still, the Knights went 7-1 in one-score games last fall, a mark that will be difficult to replicate.
Which Group of Five team will earn the spot in the New Year’s Six? Under the new playoff format, the highest-ranked team from the Group of Five is guaranteed a berth in one of the New Year’s Six bowls, the group of bowl games that will serve as the playoff semifinals on a rotational basis (the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange, Peach and Cotton bowls). Marshall seems to have the easiest route to that slot with its weak nonconference schedule, its manageable Conference USA slate and its loaded offense. However, if Marshall slips, Bowling Green or Cincinnati could swoop in to steal the bid.
How good is Cincinnati’s Gunner Kiel? The world will finally learn just how good the former blue-chip recruit is. Kiel committed to Indiana and LSU before enrolling at Notre Dame, transferring to Cincinnati and missing the 2013 season. Now he is set to take the field. If he lives up to the hype, Kiel can lead the Bearcats to an AAC title. If he falters, Munchie Legaux could retake the starting role.
How will Wyoming's Craig Bohl adjust to the FBS? After winning three consecutive FCS national titles at North Dakota State, Bohl made the jump to the FBS in December to take over Wyoming. The coach has his work cut out trying to get the Cowboys back to bowl eligibility after two straight losing seasons. Wyoming ranked 100th in yards allowed per play last year and loses quarterback Brett Smith. But Bohl knows how to rebuild: North Dakota State went 2-8 the year before he arrived and won eight games in each of his first two seasons.
Can a surprise team win the American? Cincinnati is the favorite, and defending champ UCF is drawing plenty of preseason buzz. But could a less heralded team win the league? It’s certainly possible. East Carolina and Houston are potential candidates. The Pirates bring back Carden, while the Cougars return 17 starters, including quarterback John O’Korn and receivers Deontay Greenberry and Daniel Spencer (134 combined receptions for 1,971 yards). A run to a conference crown would be a wonderful way for Houston to break in its new stadium.

Extending healthy drinking water to all parts of the County of Stettler has stirred much interest and discussion, considering about 130 people attended an open house in Botha on Aug. 17, the first of five forums this week.
“There’s a lot of people in the County of Stettler who need water,” said Reeve Earl Marshall.
“We know some areas desperately need water,” said Darwin Durnie, principal of Stantec Consulting, which is facilitating the project under the County of Stettler Rural Water Servicing Strategy.
“The need for clean safe drinking water is growing in Alberta.”
With funding from the federal and provincial governments for the entire $64 million project, and current low construction cost, the county strongly believes that now is the opportune time to proceed with project.
“In the current state of the economy, we’re going to cut our costs in half,” said Marshall.
“We have to be in the ground by next fall to access these government grants.”
About 20 residents asked a variety of questions including the impact on taxes, fee structures, restrictions in a drought, declining population, and whether the Red Deer River has sufficient supply for the long-term future.
Currently the county is inviting rural property owners and residents to voluntarily commit to the system for the long-term.
The connection fee for basic service has been set at $10,000 at the time the system is being constructed or $15,000 for connections made after the initial construction.
This fee could be paid either in full upfront or over a 15-year period.
With the project proposed to start as phase 1 in the Botha, Gadsby, Byemoor and Endiang areas – connecting to the new Shirley McClellan line along Highway 12 – and Endiang and Byemoor – near the Starland-Stettler water line – residents in those areas are requested to submit expression of interest forms by Sept. 15.
For the remainder of the county, forms must be submitted by Sept. 30.
The first phase is set for the next two years while all stages would be expected to be complete by 2021.
Further open house sessions have been set for Aug. 18 in Byemoor, Aug. 19 in Big Valley, Aug. 20 in Donalda and Aug. 22 at Nevis, all from 6 to 8 p.m.
This funding, coupled with the current investments in the Starland-Stettler an Shirley McClellan regional water systems, enables the county to move forward with the Rural Water Servicing Master Plan,” said Marshall.
For more information, phone the county chief administrative officer Tim Fox at 403-742-4441 or your local councilor.

In this alert we highlight the following issues concerning GMOs in South Africa:
The ACB has played an essential watch-dog role on new GMO permits in South Africa for a decade now, adding substantially to the discourse about the scientific assessment of GMOs as well as about issues of socioeconomic impacts and democratic decisionmaking, through lodging substantive comments on at least 30 permit applications.
Sikhathele!! Phansi GM Maize in SA Phansi!! Phambili Food Justice, Phambili!!

ACB warns that the South African government has received an application for the commodity clearance (import for food, feed and processing) of ‘triple-stacked variety of genetically modified (GM) soya – MON 87708 X MON 89788 X A5547-127 by Monsanto South Africa (Pty) Ltd in October 2017.
ACB is objecting to the commodity clearance of the triple-stacked GM soybean event MON 87708 x MON 89788 x A5547-127, due to concerns surrounding the lack of safety assessment data for this crop and the known toxicity of the three pesticides it is designed to tolerate.
On 7 April 7 2017 the South African government issued draft amendments to its regulations governing the legal limits for pesticide residues on food crops. The proposed amendments expose the gaps in regulations to date, despite the cultivation of herbicide-tolerant GM crops for almost two decades.
By Lim Li Ching, Senior Researcher, Third World Network Climate change is an urgent challenge facing farmers in Africa. As our world warms, many farmers are already experiencing devastating consequences, including storms, drought, floods, heat waves and extreme weather events.

Atletico Madrid have confirmed the signing of Diego Costa from Chelsea, three-and-a-half years after he originally left to join the Blues.
The 28-year-old will officially join Atleti in January on a three-and-a-half-year deal when the winter transfer window opens, as per the terms of the La Liga side’s transfer ban.
“I’m very happy to return home, I’ve always said it, Atlético is my home, I’m very, very happy. I’m looking forward to start contributing. I’m going to give my all for the team, as I always try to do,” Costa said.
The Brazilian-born Spanish international made 120 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea, scoring 58 goals since his 2014-move to Stamford Bridge.
Costa won the League Cup and Premier League title in his first season in England, scoring 20 goals in 26 league games as Chelsea finished eight points clear of runners-up Manchester City.
However, his second season couldn’t have gone worse with Chelsea finishing 10th in the Premier League table with 37 points less than their title triumph a year previous. Costa managed just 12 league goals in 2015/16.
The Spanish striker hit 20 league goals a season later as Chelsea won back their Premier League crown under Antonio Conte, but BBC Sport revealed Costa had been told he was no longer wanted by the Italian manager.
The Daily Mail uncovered his self-imposed exile to Brazil last month and it was clear his days were numbered at Chelsea. He hasn’t made a single appearance for the Londoners this season, but the club did wish him well in a statement upon his return to Madrid.

From the end of February to the beginning of March, U.S. state governments, under the influence of the new Biden administration policy, gradually opened up the process of marijuana legalization, accelerated the legislation, and successfully signed several marijuana legalization bills. The U.S. cannabis industry generally believes that under the general environment-friendly conditions, the U.S. marijuana legalization process will show explosive development.
Virginia Legislature Passes Bill to Legalize Adult Use of Marijuana
Virginia lawmakers passed a marijuana legalization bill late last month, becoming the first state in the South to approve the reform, which will take effect in 2024 under the law. The bill, which will go to Governor Ralph Northam for his signature, was expected.
NORML Development Director Jenn Michelle Pedini called the approval “another historic step for cannabis justice in Virginia.”
“Stakeholders, the administration, and the legislature have spent hundreds of hours crafting a fair and equitable legislation that replaces failed prohibitionist marijuana policies with policies that promote Virginia’s economy and the public health and safety of Virginians.” –Pedini said in a statement.
The bill does not immediately legalize marijuana, but rather begins to be enforced when sales begin in three years. Last year, the state approved a marijuana decriminalization measure that reduced the penalty for possession of a half-ounce of marijuana to $25. Previously, possession charges could result in a $500 fine and 30 days in jail.
New Mexico House Votes to Legalize Marijuana
Lawmakers in the New Mexico House of Representatives introduced legislation late last month that would legalize adult marijuana use, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
The proposal in House Bill 12 includes an 8% tax rate, but the city and county rates could add up to 4%. The highest possible marijuana tax rate in the state would be 21.4%. Under the proposal, adults would be allowed to buy and possess marijuana products and residents would be allowed to grow up to six marijuana plants in their own homes. If approved, the new law would allow certain medical marijuana dispensaries to sell marijuana to people 21 years of age or older beginning Jan. 1, 2021. “
This bill has been passed. This is a big deal, as it should be. ” – Rep. Javier Martinez (D-Albuquerque), co-sponsor, via the Albuquerque Journal Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe) said legalizing marijuana would help eliminate inequalities created by the war on drugs that disproportionately target people of color. She said, “This type of drug has become a pathway to deportation, expulsion, arrest, criminalization of addiction and so on.”
House Republicans widely opposed the bill and advocated unsuccessfully to allow local municipalities to withdraw from marijuana sales. “I don’t think New Mexico is in the habit of forcing communities to do things against their will,” said Rep. Randal Crowder (R-Clovis).
The New Mexico House previously passed a legalization bill in 2019, but the bill ultimately failed in the Senate. Supporters of House Bill 12 believe things may be different this year because the House has new senators and the issue of marijuana legalization continues to gain popularity among Americans of all stripes.
North Dakota House Approves Adult Use Marijuana Bill
On February 23, the North Dakota House of Representatives passed three bills that would amend marijuana laws and legalize adult-use marijuana: House Bill 1420, House Bill 1501, and House Bill 1201.
House Bill 1420, which passed by a vote of 56 to 38, would allow adults 21 and older to purchase or possess up to one ounce of marijuana every 14 days; however, it would still be illegal to grow marijuana for personal use.
The bill’s proposal also limits the number of registered dispensaries assigned to 18 and growers to seven and calls for adult-use marijuana sales to begin on July 1, 2022.
The bill will now go to the Senate for the second round of votes. If approved, it will be sent to Gov. Doug Burgum for his final signature.
Lawmakers also approved House Bill 1501, which passed by a vote of 73 to 21, setting the stage for a tax structure for the adult-use marijuana market.
As stated in the House Bill 1501 proposal, the bill would “impose a 15% tax on gross receipts of adult-use marijuana products” and “impose a 10 % excise tax on sales of usable marijuana and adult-use marijuana products from manufacturing facilities to dispensaries.
Also, the House voted 58 to 36 to pass House Bill 1201, which builds on the original decriminalization law introduced in 2019 by decriminalizing possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and reducing the penalties for possession of large amounts of marijuana.
A person with less than one ounce of marijuana would be considered decriminalized and could be fined up to $50. The proposal states that a person who possesses one ounce but no more than 250 grams is in violation of the law.
It also specifies that a person weighing 250 grams but less than 500 grams is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor and a person weighing 500 grams or more is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. The bill is now before the Senate for consideration.
New Jersey legalizes marijuana
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy officially signed a recreational marijuana legalization bill into law in late February, making New Jersey the largest marijuana market on the East Coast with an estimated value of $1 billion. The bill, which was successfully passed by a vote of 49 to 27, allows adults over the age of 21 to purchase up to one ounce of marijuana, eliminating all criminal penalties for possession of six ounces of marijuana and 170 grams of marijuana for adults over the age of 21. Governor Phil Murphy said New Jersey will create a regulated marijuana market, restrict the use of “ex-conviction” marijuana products and give adults maximum rights in the use and possession of marijuana. Meanwhile, the House voted 22 to 12 to pass a bill previously introduced by the state Legislature on measures related to discipline for underage marijuana and alcohol use.
Majority of Texas Voters Want Marijuana Legalization
A recent poll by the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune shows a significant rise in support for marijuana legalization in the state.
The survey asked Texans if they supported legalizing marijuana, giving respondents a choice between four options: “never,” “only for medical purposes,” “a small amount for any use ” or “any amount for any purpose. Overall, 60% of Texans support legalizing the possession of small amounts or any amount of marijuana for any purpose.
Only 13% of respondents said marijuana should “never” be legal, while 28 % said possession should only be allowed for medical purposes.
The largest group of supporters for full legalization was the 30-44 age group, at 69%. The least supportive age group was the older Texas population, but a significant number of older Texans (53%) said they supported the right to possess “a small amount” or “any amount for any purpose.
According to the Tribune, a May 2010 poll showed that 54% of Texans oppose legalizing marijuana, while 27% prefer medical marijuana. The same poll found that only 42% of Texans support legalizing marijuana.
In an interview with The Cannabis Hour, Heather Fazio, Texas’ director of responsible marijuana policy, said, “The current marijuana laws are draconian, irrational and unpopular. Thank goodness both Democratic and Republican legislators have introduced bills to change the way marijuana is handled in Texas. “
Alabama Senate Committee Approves Marijuana Decriminalization Measure
The Alabama Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday passed a measure to decriminalize first-time offenders for possession of fewer than 2 ounces of marijuana, which would reduce penalties from a misdemeanor penalty of up to one year in jail to a $250 fine.
The bill was sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton (D) and sent to the full House for consideration. Singleton introduced more comprehensive decriminalization legislation in 2019 that would have applied to all possession charges – not just first-time offenders – but the measure died in the Judiciary Committee.
A recent report found that black Alabamians are 4.1 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession.
In 2018, decriminalization legislation was introduced in both legislatures, but neither made progress. The House bill died in committee, while the Senate bill was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, but did not receive a vote by the full House.

KINGDOME REPAIRS APPROACH $50 MILLION
Published November 11, 1994
King County officials confirmed yesterday that Kingdome emergency repairs could run as much as $15M over budget, which would bring the cost of the project up to $47.5M. King County Exec Gary Locke said officials are considering a possible ticket tax or fee on Kingdome events to pay for the excess costs. Earlier this week, the county sued its insurance carrier on the Kingdome, Allendale Mutual Insurance, alleging the firm refused to acknowledge the county's damage claims (SEATTLE POST- INTELLIGENCER, 11/11).

The Shiv Sena Monday took a jibe at opposition parties, stating their nationwide bandh against the rising fuel prices should not look like a sudden act undertaken after waking up from a “long sleep”.
The BJP’s bickering ally said it has been carrying the burden of opposition parties on its shoulders for long and it now wants to see where these outfits stand on pro-people issues.
“We have been carrying the burden of opposition leaders so far and we now want to see the strength of the opposition. People’s interests are protected when opposition parties perform (their duty) with efficiency,” the Sena said in an editorial published in its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
The Marathi daily said people may ask the Sena where it stands on the issue of joining the ‘Bharat Bandh’ called Monday by the Congress to protest the rising prices of petrol and diesel and supported by several opposition parties.
Responding to its own query, the Uddhav Thackeray-led outfit said it wanted to see the strength of the opposition on key issues.
“The people of this country have been watching closely how inflation is rising and petrol and diesel prices are escalating.
“Hopefully, the bandh should not look like the opposition has suddenly woken up from a long sleep on peoples issues and called for the bandh,” the Sena publication said.
“Let some in the opposition parties realise where exactly they stand when it comes to peoples issues,” it said.
The party targeted Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Chandrakant Patil over his reported comments that one should step into shoes of BJP leaders to realise how difficult it is to run a government.
“Patil should know that it is easier to be a BJP leader than being a common man. Rising petrol prices have a direct impact on escalation of cost of essential items such as foodgrains, milk, eggs, public transport among others,” the editorial said.
The Maharashtra-based party hit at out the BJP-led NDA government for not fulfilling pre-poll promises.
“During the 2014 general election, Narendra Modi had made a promise of generating two crore jobs. On the contrary, 20 lakh jobs have been lost almost every year under the Modi regime,” the Sena alleged.
“The way the government is putting up billboards about growth in the GDP, it should also put up boards of how fuel prices are skyrocketing,” the party said.
The party also wondered when BJP leaders are going to find time to talk about rising prices of fuel instead of targeting Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
The Union government had earned a profit of Rs 2.29 lakh crore from the sale of petrol and diesel. The BJP is in power (along with allies) in 22 states and it can easily bring down the cost of fuel in these states, said the Shiv Sena.
The Sena is part of the BJP-led governments at the Centre and also in Maharashtra. However, it often slams government policies and also criticises BJP leaders on a range of issues.

“Guangdong might adjust its minimum wage levels early in 2011[around the time of the Chinese New Year],” Ge Guoxing, deputy director of the province’s department of human resources and social security, told a press conference Monday.
The minimum wage in the provincial capital Guangzhou increased, on 1 May, to 1,030 yuan per month, while the rate in Pearl River Delta towns like Dongguan was raised to 920 yuan. The lowest rate, in the province’s poorest counties, was increased to 660 yuan a month.
However, rapid hikes in food prices and accommodation costs this year, together with higher wages in other provinces, have meant that Guangdong is still unable to attract the labour it needs. With far more opportunities and a lower cost of living in the inland provinces that have traditionally supplied Guangdong with labour, many more workers are choosing to stay closer to home or move to the Yangtze River Delta, where wages are somewhat higher. The minimum wage in Shanghai is now 1,120 yuan per month, while the highest rate in Zhejiang is 1,100 yuan.
Recent strikes over low pay in Shenzhen and Foshan are a clear indication that wages the Pearl River Delta are still a long way away from providing a decent standard of living. And the provincial government still seems committed to introducing regulations on collective bargaining as a means of increasing wages - albeit in a watered down form after determined opposition from the Hong Kong business lobby.
In addition to raising wages, the Guangdong government claims it is becoming more strenuous in its enforcement of labour laws, and in its protection of workers’ legal rights. Local labour departments in the province, helped 158,400 migrant workers claim back more than 297 million yuan in unpaid wages and benefits in the first ten months of this year, Ge said.
Moreover, he said, the government was actively trying to make life in Guangdong’s cities easier for rural migrant workers by granting urban residency to selected applicants. More than 103,600 rural residents, mainly from Guangdong, had been granted urban residency so far this year, Ge added. The province is currently home to more than 30 million migrant workers, the vast majority of whom still have a rural residency.
