You have quite the reputation for doing your best, in fact, which is why colleagues come to you for help. Nobody busts a move like you: smooth, efficient and done right. Yep, when it comes to your job, you can’t be beat. Except when you can. Except when everything points somewhere else and you’re ripped off-track, as in the new novel “The Breaking Point” by Jefferson Bass. Within the philanthropic world, Richard Janus was known for his speed. When tragedy occurred anywhere in the world, before most governmental entities could even get organized, Janus was on the scene aboard his private jet filled with water, first aid and other supplies. Earthquake, tornado, hurricane, flood — it didn’t matter; Janus’ humanitarian efforts helped save lives. It was therefore a shock to his supporters and donors when Janus lost his. The fireball was, by all accounts, huge: that’s what happens when a Citation jet slams into the side of a mountain near San Diego at 400 miles an hour. There wasn’t much of Richard Janus left to identify, but the FBI needed the best forensic expert they could hire to try. They contacted Dr. Bill Brockton. As a leader in forensic anthropology and the founder of the U of Tennessee’s Body Farm, Brockton was well-known for his expertise in identifying bodies and determining time of death. The Janus case, however — and Brockton hesitated to call it a “case,” since it seemed to have been an accident — would almost bust his chops. Judging by a nearly full set of teeth found at the site, Janus had been killed by the crash; a second set of teeth momen- Growing In Agriculture SUPER CONNECTION Because of the growing number of comic book-inspired tarily sidelined the investigation, but were productions, more and more actors have credits for films or explained by a bizarre coincidence.

The milk cows helped provide us a living that allowed our family to move home to South Dakota from Waterloo, Iowa where my father had worked for John Deere. Chevy Colorados Today, we have more than 250 dairy operations that generated more than 246 million gallons of milk in 2014 - that’s almost 4 billion glasses of milk! Our dairies make significant contributions not only to our food supply, but to our rural economies. One dairy cow has a $14,402 economic impact on a community each year. In celebration and gratitude for all that dairy does for us here in South Dakota, Governor Daugaard declared June as Dairy Month. The dairy industry is strong in South Dakota, fueled partially by the Dairy Science programs at South Dakota State University - one of the best in the country. As strong as we are, there is considerable room for growth in the industry. In the past year, we have added 6,000 cows to our dairy herds and increased output by almost 10%, the highest jump in the nation! I remain committed to working with our dairy producers to continue to grow this vital sector of the agriculture industry. As you enjoy June, and the beginning of summer, join me in raising a cold glass of milk in thanks to our dairy producers here in South Dakota.
