Karl Rove, Deputy White House Chief of Staff and special adviser to President George W. Bush, has recently been
providing information to special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald
in the ongoing CIA leak investigation, sources close to the investigation say.
According to several Pentagon sources close to Rove and others familiar with the inquiry, Bush's senior adviser tipped off Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to information that
led to the recent "discovery" of 250 pages of missing email from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.
According to one source close to the case,
Rove is providing information on deleted emails, erased hard drives and other types of obstruction by staff and other officials in the Vice President's office.
Pentagon sources close to Rove confirmed this account.
None would name the staffers and/or officials whom Rove is providing information about. They did, however, explain that the White House computer system has "real time backup" servers and that while emails were deleted from computers, they were still retrievable from the backup system. By providing the dates and recipient information of the deleted emails, sources say, Rove was able to chart a path for Fitzgerald directly into the office of the Vice President.
After September 11,
Rove found himself feeling cranky, according to investigative reporter Bob Woodward. Rove was pissed off because he wasn't being allowed to sit in on National Security Council and war cabinet meetings. Bush and Dick Cheney were afraid the politico's presence would send the wrong message.
Bear in mind, it wasn't that Rove wasn't being consulted. He was consulted about every single thing that happened in the White House and every decision that emerged from the Oval Office. He just wasn't being allowed to sit at the meetings himself. He had to get his updates after the fact from Bush, Cheney and Condoleezza Rice.
His thoughtful evaluation (told to Woodward) of the ramifications of invading a sovereign country and deposing its leader? "The victor is always right."
Until late 2003, anyway, when an ugly little incident revealed just how dark the dark side of Karl Rove could be, in a burgeoning scandal that could have serious consequences for the Bush White House.
A former U.S. ambassador by the name of Joseph Wilson was one of the biggest political liabilities the White House faced in 2003. Wilson had been dispatched to Niger early in 2002 to investigate whether Iraq was trying to buy uranium there. Turns out, they weren't.
He reported this information back to the White House, which promptly ignored it. Bush cited the uranium story in his 2003 State of the Union address, Cheney cited it repeatedly, and the State Department cited it in several of its endless justifications for why the U.S. just had to invade Iraq.
When the war was "over" and still no Weapons of Mass Destruction had been found, Wilson pointed out to the media that he had TOLD the White House that there was no uranium purchase. He wrote about his fact-finding trip in the New York Times as well.
This did not please the White House. It was bad for politics, bad for poll numbers. And when the poll numbers are threatened, Karl Rove gets cranky. Homicidally cranky, apparently. Did I say apparently? I meant allegedly.
In July 2003, arch-conservative Robert Novak reported that Wilson's wife was a CIA agent, blowing her cover and endangering her life, not to mention national security. (Inexplicably, no one has gone after Novak over this issue.)
Wilson and his wife didn't take this lying down. They came out swinging. Wilson accused Rove of being the source for the leak that endangered his wife's life and destroyed her career.
"Rove is someone who at a minimum would have condoned it and certainly did nothing to knock it down for over a week after the article appeared. The outing of my wife was obviously a political or communications move. The head of the political operation is Karl Rove," Wilson told reporters.
In late September, the Justice Department launched a full criminal investigation into the leak, which is an aggravated felony punishable by up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine

August 2002 Events Leading to Iraq Invasion
White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. forms
the White House Iraq Group, or
, which aims to educate the public about the alleged threat from Iraq.
A senior official involved with the group later describes it as an internal working group, like many formed for priority issues, to make sure each part of the White House was fulfilling its responsibilities.
Members of the group include
Karl Rove,
Karen Hughes, Mary Matalin, James R. Wilkinson, Nicholas E. Calio, and policy advisers led by Condoleezza Rice and her deputy, Stephen J. Hadley, and I. Lewis Libby. They meet weekly in the White House Situation Room. A strategic communications task force under the WHIG is charged with planning speeches and writing white papers. [Washington Post, 8/10/2003]
According to an intelligence source interviewed by the New York Daily News in October 2005, the group, on a number of occasions, will attempt to push the envelope on things, The [CIA] would say, We just don't have the intelligence to substantiate that. [New York Daily News, 10/19/2005]
An important part of the WHIG strategy is to feed their messages to friendly reporters such as New York Times reporter Judith Miller.
James Bamford, in his book A Pretext for War, writes:
First OSP [Office of Special Plans] supplies false or exaggerated intelligence; then members of the WHIG leak it to friendly reporters, complete with prepackaged vivid imagery; finally, when the story breaks, senior officials point to it as proof and parrot the unnamed quotes they or their colleagues previously supplied.
[Bamford, 2004, pp 325]
Miller "Discovered" 2003 Notes with Libby
Miller said she discovered notes about a June 2003 conversation she had with Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, "after her testimony before the grand jury last week," sources said
"Miller turned the [redacted] notes over to federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and [was] expected to meet him again" October 11th. "Miller's notes could help Fitzgerald establish that Libby had started talking to reporters about CIA operative Valerie Plame and her diplomat husband, Joseph Wilson, weeks before Wilson publicly criticized the administration's Iraq policy in a [July 6, 2003,] Times opinion piece (
"One source involved in the investigation said Miller's notes could help Fitzgerald show a long-running and orchestrated campaign to discredit Wilson, which could help form the basis for a conspiracy
Subsequently, the New York Times published three stories about Miller's testimony to the grand jury. The stories include Miller's first-person recounting of what she told the grand jury, a chronology of the Miller case, and an analysis suggesting that Libby, an aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, may still be a focus of the criminal investigation.

Are the Neocons Losing It?
by Patrick J. Buchanan
While President Bush appears serenely confident about Iraq, the same cannot be said of the War Party propagandists who were plotting this conflict when Dubya was still a rookie governor of Texas.
William Kristol of The Weekly Standard now demands the firing of Donald Rumsfeld. William F. Buckley, whose National Review branded the antiwar Right "unpatriotic conservatives" who "hate" America, now calls upon Bush for an "acknowledgement of defeat."
Richard Perle says the administration "got the war right and the aftermath wrong." Self-described "humiliated pundit" Andrew Sullivan confesses to "a sense of shame and sorrow." Michael Ledeen says of Bush's war, "Wrong war, wrong time, wrong way, wrong place."
Frank ("The End of History") Fukuyama concedes that "Iraq has now replaced Afghanistan as a magnet, a training ground and an operational base for jihadists, with plenty of American targets to shoot at."
But it is a March 20 essay in The Wall Street Journal that suggests the neocons may be coming unhinged. Written by Weekly Standard Executive Editor Fred Barnes, the piece urges Bush to begin the "rejuvenation of his presidency by shocking the media and political community with a sweeping overhaul of his administration."
The purge Barnes recommends would have caused Stalin to recoil.
Barnes calls on Bush to fire press secretary Scott McClellan, chief of staff Andy Card, political adviser Karl Rove, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Treasury Secretary John Snow and Vice President Richard Cheney.
"The trickiest issue is how to handle Karl Rove," says Barnes.

Card helped coordinate the White House campaign for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In September 2002, the New York Times quoted Card as saying, "From a marketing point of view you don't introduce new products in August." Card was explaining what the Times characterized as a "meticulously planned strategy to persuade the public, the Congress, and the allies of the need to confront the threat from Saddam Hussein." George W. Bush credited Card with the idea for Bush's brief visit to 600 U.S. soldiers celebrating Thanksgiving in Baghdad in 2003

By CURT ANDERSON, Associated Press Writer Thu Mar 30, 3:40 AM ET
MIAMI - Lobbyist Jack Abramoff and a former partner were sentenced to nearly six years in prison on fraud charges but were allowed to remain free while they help a corruption investigation that has embroiled Congress.
U.S. District Judge Paul C. Huck sentenced Abramoff and Adam Kidan to five years and 10 months behind bars on Wednesday for concocting a fake $23 million wire transfer during the 2000 purchase of SunCruz Casinos.
The judge agreed to postpone the prison reporting dates for the men to allow them to continue cooperating in both the Washington bribery investigation and the 2001 killing of former SunCruz owner Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis. Both deny having any role in the death.
Abramoff, dressed in a dark business suit, said in brief remarks prior to sentencing that the day was "incredibly painful" for himself, his friends and family but that he intended to make amends.
"I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful over the reckless and hurtful things I have done in my life, especially those which have brought me before you today. I can only hope that the Almighty and those whom I have wronged will forgive me my trespasses," Abramoff said.
The same week in January that Abramoff pleaded guilty to the SunCruz fraud, he entered guilty pleas to three federal charges as part of a wide-ranging corruption probe that could involve up to 20 members of Congress and aides, including former House Majority Leader
Tom DeLay, R-Texas. No date has been set for his sentencing in that case.
That investigation arose from Abramoff's representation of six Indian tribes, which he and a partner billed for $80 million between 2001 and 2004. They directed the tribes to give thousands of dollars in political campaign contributions. Tribal leaders have said in many cases they were unaware of what was happening to their money.

Executive summary: Lobbyist, friends with Tom DeLay
"It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left. Our job is to remove them from power permanently."
Before becoming one of Washington's most influential lobbyists, Jack Abramoff had been national chairman of the College Republicans. Which is where he hired Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed to help him run things over there.
On 25-May-2000, Republican House leader Tom DeLay took off on a weeklong vacation to Britain with his family. The trip was being funded by the nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research. It just so happens that on that very same day two of Jack Abramoff's clients, eLottery Inc. and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, had coughed up $50,000 in contributions to the National Center for Public Policy Research. Two months later, DeLay killed some pending legislation that eLottery and the Choctaws had opposed.

Fitzgerald Previews Government's Case Against Libby
By Jason Leopold Monday 20 March 2006
The criminal trial against I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, may still be nearly a year away, but the special counsel prosecuting the case has already provided a preview into the government's criminal case against the ex-White House official, who is accused of lying to the FBI and a grand jury about his role in the leak of a covert CIA operative.
During a recent federal court hearing, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said he plans to focus on the week of July 7 to 14, 2003, in which Libby allegedly told several reporters that Valerie Plame Wilson worked for the CIA and was responsible for convincing the agency to send her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, to Niger in 2002 to investigate claims that Iraq sought 500 tons of uranium from the African country.
"I'm not going to argue it was the most important issue consuming the Bush administration," Fitzgerald told US District Court Judge Reggie Walton during a February 24 federal court hearing, a transcript of which was obtained by this reporter.
"I will argue during that week Mr. Libby was consumed with [Wilson] to an extent more than he should have been but he was and you can look at the time he spent with people," Fitzgerald added. "When talking about Mr. Wilson for the first time, he described himself as a former Hill staffer. He meets with people off premises. There were some unusual things I won't get into about that week. At the end of the day we're talking about someone who spent a lot of time during the week of July 7 to July 14 focused on the issue of Wilson and Wilson's wife."
Libby told FBI investigators and testified before a grand jury that he found out about Plame Wilson's CIA employment from reporters on July 9 or 10, 2003. But Fitzgerald said Libby discussed Plame Wilson with former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer on July 7, 2003, and Fleischer testified that Libby said the information was "hush, hush" on the "QT" and was not widely known ...

Executive summary: Cheney's former Chief of Staff
Until recently chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, Lewis Libby is alleged to be one of two administration sources who leaked the identity of Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife, undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame. Libby resigned his White House position on 28th October 2005 after being indicted on five felony counts -- perjury, obstruction of justice, and lying to federal officials. He was the most powerful Chief of Staff for the most powerful Vice President in American history, and was very much one of the ultimate administration insiders. After the events of 2001 Libby was one of the neoconservatives who made the case for war against Iraq.
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Jr., Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney since 2001, resigned October 28, 2005, after being indicted on five counts which included obstruction of justice, making false statements and perjury.
The indictments resulted from a grand jury investigation which began October 31, 2003, into the leaking of covert CIA agent Valerie Plames name. Department of Justice Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald and FBI "investigators have been trying to determine whether Libby or any other administration officials knowingly revealed" Plame's identity or "about their involvement to investigators. Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, is a diplomat and an opponent of the Iraq war who challenged U.S. President George W. Bushs assertion that Saddam Hussein was in possession of nuclear materials."

Desert Rats Leave The Sinking Ship
Why Rumsfeld Should Not Resign
The Guardian - Comment
Friday, April 14, 2006
By Greg Palast
Well, here they come: the wannabe Rommels, the gaggle of generals, safely retired, to lay siege to Donald Rumsfeld. This week, six of them have called for the Secretary of Defense's resignation.
Well, according to my watch, they're about four years too late -- and they still don't get it.
Let me tell you a story about the Secretary of Defense you didn't read in the New York Times, related to me by General Jay Garner, the man our president placed in Baghdad as the US' first post-invasion viceroy.
Garner arrived in Kuwait City in March 2003 working under the mistaken notion that when George Bush called for democracy in Iraq, the President meant the Iraqis could choose their own government. Misunderstanding the President's true mission, General Garner called for Iraqis to hold elections within 90 days and for the U.S. to quickly pull troops out of the cities to a desert base. "It's their country," the General told me of the Iraqis. "And," he added, most ominously, "their oil."
Let's not forget: it's all about the oil. I showed Garner a 101-page plan for Iraq's economy drafted secretly by neo-cons at the State Department, Treasury and the Pentagon, calling for "privatization" (i.e. the sale) of "all state assets ... especially in the oil and oil-supporting industries." See it here.
The General knew of the plans and he intended to shove it where the Iraqi sun don't shine. Garner planned what he called a "Big Tent" meeting of Iraqi tribal leaders to plan elections. By helping Iraqis establish their own multi-ethnic government -- and this was back when Sunnis, Shias and Kurds were on talking terms -- knew he could get the nation on its feet peacefully before a welcomed "liberation" turned into a hated "occupation."
But, Garner knew, a freely chosen coalition government would mean the death-knell for the neo-con oil-and-assets privatization grab.
On April 21, 2003, three years ago this month, the very night General Garner arrived in Baghdad, he got a call from Washington. It was Rumsfeld on the line. He told Garner, in so many words, "Don't unpack, Jack, you're fired."
Rummy replaced Garner, a man with years of on-the-ground experience in Iraq, with green-boots Paul Bremer, the Managing Director of Kissinger Associates. Bremer cancelled the Big Tent meeting of Iraqis and postponed elections for a year; then he issued 100 orders, like some tin-pot pasha, selling off Iraq's economy to U.S. and foreign operators, just as Rumsfeld's neo-con clique had desired.
Reading this, it sounds like I should applaud the six generals' call for Rumfeld's ouster. Forget it.
For a bunch of military hotshots, they sure can't shoot straight. They're wasting all their bullets on the decoy. They've gunned down the puppet instead of the puppeteers.
There's no way that Rumsfeld could have yanked General Garner from Baghdad without the word from The Bunker. Nothing moves or breathes or spits in the Bush Administration without Darth Cheney's growl of approval. And ultimately, it's the Commander-in-Chief who's chiefly in command.
Donald Rumsfeld
Donald RumsfeldAKA Donald Henry Rumsfeld
Born: 9-Jul-1932
Birthplace: Evanston, IL
Gender: Male
Religion: Protestant
Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Government, Politician, Business
Nationality: United States
Executive summary: US Secretary of Defense
Military service: US Navy (1954-57, Lieutenant)
Donald Rumsfeld was both the youngest and oldest Secretary of Defense in American history. He was the youngest when, at age 43, he took charge of the Pentagon under President Gerald Ford in 1975. Appointed to the same post by President George W. Bush more than 25 years later, he became the first Secretary of Defense in his 70s.
Rumsfeld has strong ties to the Intelligence Community, as well as to the Atlantic Institute, and is a member of the Bilderberg group. He is a financial supporter for the Center for Security Policy. Rumsfeld was one of the signers of the January 26, 1998, Project for the New American Century (PNAC) letter (http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm) sent to President William Jefferson Clinton. [1] (http://www.channel4.com/news/2003/special_reports/pnacletter.html)
According to a December 28, 2000, report by CNN, "Rumsfeld's nomination also appeared to settle a disagreement among those advisers over the defense post. Colin Powell reportedly wanted Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge for the job, while Dick Cheney and other congressional Republicans supported Daniel R. Coats. But aides close to Bush said the president-elect did not feel comfortable with the former Indiana senator; Cheney then recommended Rumsfeld, his old boss" in the George H.W. Bush administration. [2] (http://www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/12/28/bush.wrap/)
In his March 9, 2003, article "Family ties connect US right, Zionists" (http://www.dawn.com/2003/03/09/int11.htm), Jim Lobe wrote:
"As godfather of the [neo-con] movement, Irving Kristol played mentor to Norman Podhoretz, the long-time but now-retired editor of Commentary, the influential monthly publication of the American Jewish Committee (AJC). Originally identified with the anti-war left in the mid-1960s, Podhoretz converted to neo-conservatism late in the decade and transformed the magazine into a main source of neo-conservative writing, despite the overwhelming majority of the Jewish community itself rejecting those positions.
"Podhoretz and his spouse, Midge Decter, a polemical powerhouse in her own right, created a formidable political team in the 1970s as they deserted the Democratic Party, and then, as leaders of the Committee on the Present Danger -- like PNAC a coalition of mainly Jewish, neo-conservatives and more traditional right-wing hawks like Defence Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld -- helped lay the foreign-policy foundation for the rise of Ronald Reagan. After Reagan's victory, Decter and Rumsfeld co-chaired the international offshoot of the committee, called the Coalition for the Free World."
On 6 May, 2004, "Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld amid Congressional outrage over the Pentagon's handling of charges of prison abuse by U.S. soldiers." [3] (http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0507-04.htm)
"I think that this rises to the point that it's a high crime and misdemeanor if he disappointed the president, kept information from the Congress and kept this information from the American people," Rangel said on the House floor.
Rumsfeld & Big Pharma
Rumsfeld has served on the boards of pharmaceutical companies Gilead Sciences, Pfizer Inc., and Amylin Pharmaceuticals, according to Open Secrets (http://www.opensecrets.org/bush/cabinet/cabinet.rumsfeld.asp).
Gilead Sciences
"Rummy was Chair of the Board of Directors at Gilead Sciences until named to the Bush cabinet and, like [Vice President Dick] Cheney, still has ties that bind to the 'old company.' Now isn't it an 'amazing coincidence' that the drug Tamiflu (http://www.gilead.com/wt/sec/tamiflu) patented by Gilead Sciences is being pushed by the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases as the NUMBER ONE choice for flu, which, wonder of wonders, is sweeping through in one epidemic after another," Free Market News related (http://www.freemarketnews.com/Feedback.asp?nid=578) October 21, 2005, from a January 2004 web posting.
As of September 22, 2004, Rumsfeld held a "stake in Gilead Sciences Inc. worth $5 million to $25 million." [4] (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2004/09/22/rumsfeld_sold_stakes_in_pentagon_contractors?mode=PF)
Incidentally, Newsday reported (http://www.newsday.com/news/health/ny-hstami224479997oct22,0,4136757.story?coll=sns-ap-nationworld-headlines&track=mostemailedlink) October 22, 2005, that, according to drug makers, Tamiflu "will remain in short supply for as long as a year because of the drug's complicated chemistry."
The delay is perhaps related to the controversy over property rights to the Tamiflu patent. See Dr. Joseph Mercola's "Who Owns the Rights on Tamiflu: Rumsfeld To Profit From Bird Flu Hoax," (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=+ME20051026&articleId=1148) Global Research, October 26, 2005: "Since Rumsfeld holds major portions of stock in Gilead, he will handsomely profit from the scare tactics of the government that is being used to justify the purchase of $2 billion of Tamiflu."

Before we adopted a foreign policy predicated on an American invasion of the Middle East, the U.S. government itself had to be invaded by a cabal known as the neoconservatives, who penetrated the policymaking process at practically every level from the Office of the Vice President (Scooter) to an analyst's desk at the Pentagon (Franklin). The key government personnel who constituted that invasion force, and the interests they served, are now being exposed to public view in a court of law and their last hope, as they're backed into a corner, is to implicate everyone, to claim that "everybody does it" and that if Rosen and Weissman and Libby are to be prosecuted, then what about the secretary of state, the vice president, and POTUS himself? After all, they authorized it, they were complicit treason was the policy.
I am hard-pressed to disagree with that conclusion, although I can think of no better outcome of these cases than to see the treasonous trio of Libby-Rosen-Weissman do hard time. For years, we have had a foreign policy that has nothing to do with America's legitimate national interests for reasons readily discernible here and, knowing this, one can hardly wonder that, in the end, it came down to "outing" a CIA agent, stealing vital defense information, and endangering our national security.
The War Party will stop at nothing to absolve themselves of all blame for the consequences of their disastrous policies, using the opportunity to launch an unprecedented assault on their perceived enemies, including even Secretary Rice (soft on Iran) as well as Gen. Zinni (previously denounced as an "anti-Semite" by the Amen Corner). That Rice is resisting them, while the White House capitulates to their every demand, confirms the old saw about the rot starting at the top. That these two cases are even being brought to court, however, shows the putrefaction process is far from complete, and that there is hope for the patient, in the long run. Our republic will survive all this, or at least I like to believe that is so: the immune system of our constitutional order, temporarily downed by the sheer shock of 9/11, is making a comeback. All we can do now is watch the progress of these two cases, get out the popcorn and keep our fingers crossed.
Lawrence (Larry) Franklin, the former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst with expertise in Iranian policy issues who worked in the office of Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith and reported directly to Feith's deputy, William Luti, was sentenced January 20, 2006, "to more than 12 years in prison for giving classified information to an Israeli diplomat" and members of the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). [1] (http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/9524480.htm)[2] (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/01/21/ex_pentagon_analyst_sentenced_to_12_years/)
Franklin will "remain free while the government continues with the wider case" and his "prison time could be sharply reduced in return for his help in prosecuting" former AIPAC members Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman, [who] are scheduled to go on trial in April [2006]." [3] (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/01/21/ex_pentagon_analyst_sentenced_to_12_years/)
"Franklin admitted that he met periodically with Rosen and Weissman between 2002 and 2004 and discussed classified information, including information about potential attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq. Rosen and Weissman would later share what they learned with reporters and Israeli officials."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- CIA Director Porter Goss resigned unexpectedly Friday, nudged from the helm of a spy agency still reeling from intelligence failures before America's worst terrorist attack and faulty information that formed the U.S. rationale for invading Iraq.

Felipe's fills the belly, won't empty the wallet
April 18, 2012
If you're looking for great Mexican cuisine, quick and friendly service, and a rich cultural atmosphere, then Felipe's Mexican Restaurant in Citrus Heights is a definite must-have eatery.
From the moment I walked into the restaurant I knew I was in for a treat. With cultural music playing overhead and the smell of Mexican food in the air, I happily made my way to my seat by way of a hostess.
Being family owned and operated, it is a sure thing that this is a great place for family dinner outings. With room for large parties as well as two-tops, there is a variety of seating accommodations throughout the dining room.
As I waited for my food after ordering, I enjoyed the taste of complimentary chips and salsa, all while taking in the amazing artwork painted on the walls of the restaurant. To the right of my table, covering the wall, was a painted mural of a courtyard, with a wishing well in the center. Painted on the wall of the entrance to the restaurant is a designed logo of their establishments' name, which opened in 1983.
Being mostly known for their famous chimichanga recipe, they didn't disappoint. It was loaded with cheese and meat, and was unlike any other I have had prior to now. The flautas and traditional bean-and-cheese burritos were also delicious; making me think to myself I'll never go the Chevy's again. The chili verde sauce that covered the flautas was a magnificent addition to the almost melting shredded meat and cheese inside them. This was by far a delicious place to eat, and I can't wait to go back sometime in the near future.
Felipe's had some of the best Mexican food I have eaten in quite some time, and it's hard fought to think that there are only two of these restaurants in the world. The only other location where one can enjoy such a rich blend of culture and amazing food would be the Felipe's located in Folsom, which opened in 2007.
Service for the night was also superb, and the wait for the food wasn't very long either, lasting roughly five to 10 minutes in length.
Felipe's is a great choice for a dinner out, and at a more-than-reasonable price with speedy service it stands above the rest. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone upon asking where to find an authentic and economical Mexican restaurant.

By Paul Hodnefield, Esq.
On July 1, 2013, most states will begin accepting the new UCC forms adopted as part of the 2010 Amendments to UCC Article 9 (the "Amendments"). The new forms look similar to the forms that have been in nationwide use since 2001. However, there are some significant differences. This article provides an overview of the most important form changes, explains new procedures for completing the forms, and discusses how filing offices will handle the transition from old forms to new.
The new § 9-521 forms, which carry a revision date of 04/20/2011, were designed to implement the Amendments through non-substantive changes to layout and text labels. Anyone familiar with the existing forms will instantly recognize the new forms. However, there are many differences between them, some easily noticeable and others more subtle.
Changes to the § 9-521 forms have an impact even on those who file UCC records almost exclusively by electronic means. Most states and third-party service providers use the statutory forms as a template for the design of their electronic filing systems. Therefore, all filers should be familiar with the new form layouts and how the changes will impact record preparation.
2010 Amendments Form Layout Changes
The most obvious change is that the new forms no longer include fields for the SSN/FEIN or organization information in the debtor information sections. The debtor's SSN/FEIN has never been required by the official text of Article 9 and the Amendments eliminated the organization information requirements from Section 9-516(b)(5). Therefore, it made sense to delete those fields. Filers will no longer need to provide the SSN/FEIN or organization information anywhere on the UCC record.
Another noticeable difference from the old forms is the location of checkboxes. Removing the debtor organization information fields freed up space on the UCC1 Financing Statement ("UCC1"). This allowed several checkboxes formerly located on the UCC1AD Financing Statement Addendum form ("UCC1AD") to appear on the face of the UCC1 instead. Consequently, a secured party will no longer need to add the UCC1AD to make most checkbox indications.
One checkbox moved in the other direction. The indication that the UCC1 is to be filed in the real estate records is now located on the new UCC1AD form. This made sense because most county recording offices require an attached UCC1AD form anyway. Filers must make note of this new location and remember to check this box when making a fixture filing.
The checkbox layout is also slightly different on the new UCC3 Amendment form ("UCC3"). The "Assignment" checkbox now appears between the "Termination" and "Continuation" checkboxes. The goal of this reordering is to prevent inadvertent terminations by filers who intended to check the continuation box. That simple clerical error has cost secured parties millions of dollars over the past several years. The new UCC3 form layout will help reduce that risk.
The form name sections changed to accommodate long individual debtor names. The debtor name fields on the new UCC1 are the same size as on the old form. However, the UCC1AD and UCC3 forms have extended fields for individual debtor names. The longer fields ensure that the filer can accommodate long names that may be required for compliance with the new individual debtor name sufficiency rules set forth in § 9-503(a)(4).
Once the Amendments take effect, filers will need to follow a new procedure for providing long individual debtor names. If any part of an individual debtor name is too long to fit in the UCC1 name fields, the filer must provide the entire name on the UCC1AD form. The UCC1 name sections include a new check box to indicate that the name was too long and that the name is provided instead on the attached UCC1AD form.
As a result of this new process, there may be circumstances where no debtor name appears on the UCC1. Instead, the debtor name or names would appear only on attached UCC1AD forms. Filing offices generally will not refuse records submitted in this manner.
The UCC3AD Amendment Addendum form ("UCC3AD") will also undergo a makeover. The form in use since 2001 consisted of little more than a blank page. Because the UCC3AD offered no advantage over other methods of providing information, filers often just attached exhibits to the UCC3 form rather than transfer the information to an essentially blank form.
The new UCC3AD form includes several changes that make it more useful to filers. Many county recording offices cannot link a UCC3 to the related UCC1 by file number. They require amendments to provide additional information, such as the debtor name, to ensure correct indexing in the real estate records. The new UCC3AD includes fields designed specifically for this additional information. Filers may find the UCC3AD form helpful for providing the additional information necessary to index the UCC3 in the county real estate records.
Filing Office Form Transition
Filers must be careful not to use the new forms until the 2010 Amendments take effect in the filing jurisdiction. The new forms do not provide the information required by most states to avoid rejection under current law. Moreover, the new forms have not been approved for use by most filing offices until the Amendments take effect. Consequently, most filing offices are likely to reject any record submitted on the new forms prior to the effective date.
Once the Amendments take effect, the issue becomes whether filing offices will continue to accept the old forms. The filing officers' professional organization, the International Association of Commercial Administrators ("IACA") has not taken a position on whether to accept the old forms after the effective date.
Discussions on the IACA listserv indicate that most states plan to accept the old forms for a limited period of time after the Amendments take effect. The "grace period" for accepting the old forms in those jurisdictions will range from 30 to 180 days. A few filing offices, however, may choose not to accept the old forms after the effective date.
A few state filing offices have already provided notice that they will accept the old forms for a short time after the Amendments take effect. Others are still undecided. Some may not offer any grace period. Unfortunately for filers, some filing offices may not make a final decision until after the IACA Annual Conference in May.
Due to the current uncertainty regarding filing office form rules, the best practice will be to use the new forms for any written UCC record that the filing office will receive on or after the effective date of the Amendments. Filers that want to use the old forms after that time should check with the filing office first to ensure they will not reject the records.
The effective date of the amendments is rapidly approaching. Those who file UCC records will not find the new forms substantially different. However, filers need to become familiar with the new layouts, field labels and procedures necessary to correctly create the records. Filers should also be prepared to use the new forms for all UCC records submitted after the effective date. That includes updating any forms embedded in document preparation systems to ensure compliance with the new filing office rules.

For John, BLUF: Karl Marx unleashed a lot of death and destruction on the world in the 20th Century. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From CAPX, by Kristian Niemietz, 3 May 2018.
Here is the lede paragraph:
This week will mark the 200th birthday of Karl Marx. It will be an occasion for a deluge of articles repeating the well-worn cliché that even though Marx's predictions ultimately did not materialise, his analysis of capitalism was nonetheless spot on, and remains hugely relevant today. (In fact, it's already started.)If you guessed The Old Gray Lady for the source of the URL for "It's already started" you are correct.
Then there is this from Mr Michael Moore:
Happy 200th Birthday Karl Marx! You believed that everyone should have a seat at the table & that the greed of the rich would eventually bring us all down. You believed that everyone deserves a slice of the pie. You knew that the super wealthy were out to grab whatever they could.And I am sure it will, at some point. In the mean time "the greed of the rich" has only served to elevate the living standards of the rest of us, since the time of Karl Marx, and before. Think South Korea vs North Korea. Or West Germany vs East Germany. Think Venezuela.
As a side note, South Korea has a higher GDP than Russia.
Regards — Cliff

A dedicated group of paddlers training for a race spawned from a 2,000-year-old Chinese legend. A gumshoe who would rather be sailing than solving cases. A tugboat engineer who has captured the beauty he finds in the sides of ships he moves through the water. Startling photos of sunsets and aerial views of the 1,000-mile waterway in our backyard called the Delta.
Capturing the quirky stories and unique beauty of that waterway is the mission of photographer Rich Turner, who has launched an online magazine called "Soundings: Bay & Delta Art-Culture-Environment." It's named for the nautical term for determining the depth of water, as well as the voicing of comments. The website is https://soundingsmag.net.
A commercial photographer since 1990, Turner, 71, had spent the previous 15 years as a photographer at The Stockton Record and has enlisted colleagues and friends from his journalism days to capture the essence of the Delta.
"There are two camps of coverage of the Delta: me with my pretty pictures and a little information about the Delta," Turner said. "The other side, if you Google 'Delta," you'll get 100,000 hits with white papers and environmental and political stuff. What are we missing? People."
After the success of his show and book, "Delta Grandeur," Turner embarked on another project he called Tidewater Tales, whereby he planned to take photos and write short snippets about the people who inhabit those 1,000-miles of waterway.
One of the first stops was Clarksburg, where a friend took him to lunch at a café called Shorty's. When he met the 80-something owner and cook, a Mexican immigrant who had taken over the restaurant in 1972 with her husband, bought it in 1975 on agriculture worker wages and raised eight children, seeing all of them graduate from college, Turner knew he couldn't cover the story in a short paragraph.
He approached his friend Howard Lachtman, a writer and former reporter for The Record, with his magazine idea.
"He wanted to do something he'd not done in his life, that hadn't been done in the area and would be a benefit to the region," Lachtman said. "My ears perked up. My first response was, 'what can I do for you.?'"
A film noir aficionado, who has written mysteries and fiction, Lachtman has created a Delta-based detective who would rather sail than work. The first of four parts of Lachtman's second fictional story was posted last week.
"I'm thinking of it more as a blog than a monthly magazine that arrives once a month with 12 stories that nobody has time to read," Turner said. "If I do one or two stories a week and you get an email about a new story, it will be more engaging than a magazine with 12 new things."
Turner launched "Soundings" in November and now has more than a dozen stories posted. The content is currently free for readers but he'll begin charging for subscriptions at the end of January. He's avoiding advertisements, looking instead to support the effort with corporate sponsors and subscriptions.
So far, his contributors put the free in freelance. Unable to pay them anything yet, Turner still got enthusiastic responses from former colleagues and others he asked to contribute.
"I'm limited on time with a 3-year-old and (wife) Ann is still in school, but I wanted to participate," said Alex Breitler, who wrote about the Delta for The Record for 13 years before leaving in February 2018 to become the public information coordinator at San Joaquin Delta College.
He found time to pen a piece about the Delta Dragons, a group of paddlers from Stockton who are training in San Francisco for the annual dragon boat races. He just finished another story about a woman who takes photos while tending a bridge.
"I enjoyed flexing my reporter muscles again," Breitler said. "Why I'm glad he's doing this is that policy makers involved in talking about the Delta talk about water management or the environment. The third leg of the stool, something that's missing, is the Delta as a place where people live and go to have fun and recreate and has unique cultural values.
"That's important, and that's what he's trying to do, to tell the stories of the people in the Delta, the lives they lead, the interesting things out there. It's the only way to give the Delta an identity. Right now, it's a blank spot on the map to people in the Bay Area."
Turner, who said his magazine won't shy away from important water issues, had tried to pitch a Delta story to an East Bay magazine and was told the magazine catered to Bay Area readers, who didn't care about the eastern side of the Delta.
Turner hopes to change that.
"I want the Bay Area to be my audience as much as the Delta," Turner said. "There's a huge population over there that's literate enough to enjoy the stuff we're doing."
He has published pieces by former Record outdoors writer Pete Ottesen and one by longtime Record columnist Mike Fitzgerald about a crazy water skiing stunt in Stockton's turning basin in the 1940s.
"It's an opportunity for me to continue to keep in contact with those that enjoyed my work over the years," Ottesen said. "It allows me to write on topics I have great passion for: the Delta, the environment and nature. It seemed like a right fit."
Ottesen doesn't write for free, but he gave Turner a couple pieces.
"I was glad to do it," Ottesen said, "to help him out and do something I believe is all good for the Delta and the whole region."
Turner, who has invested countless hours and his own money to launch the project, hasn't set a timeline for making "Soundings" profitable. This is a passion project, and any money that comes in, he said, will first go to pay his contributors.
"I'd love to build a subscription base of 1,000 people. That would pay expenses I'm figuring on, and I would be able to have a lot of really good material," Turner said.
Because, he said, there's a thousand miles worth of material out there.

GlassdoorPart of Recruit Holdings
GlassdoorPart of Recruit Holdings
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL (US)) in February 2018.
The overall process was a phone screen with the recruiting manager (who is awesome!), then another phone interview with a hiring manager, a mock discovery call, in-person round-robbin interview with 3 hiring managers, and a final in-person interview with the Director of Sales. The phone and in-person interviews were fairly standard for sales interviews. The Mock Discovery Call / Product Pitch was fun and a great way to really showcase your skills. They group was truly awesome and even wished me a happy birthday when my final interview landed on it! Really made me feel welcome and like a great culture to join!
Interview Questions
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL (US)) in February 2018.
A Challenging but Necessary Process. Good companies take time to review their candidates and this was very strenuous. I applied through an internal referral, did an initial phone screening with the recruiter, did a call with a hiring manager, performed a presentation of the product to two sales managers, went in for an in-person to meet with 3 other sales managers, and last, met with the Director of Sales. Brianna was incredible to work with throughout the process.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Mill Valley, CA (US)) in September 2017.
This was definitely one of the more enjoyable interview processes I've been through. The recruiter was quick and responsive, the interview process was well thought-out, and I had visibility into the next steps.
Started with a standard phone screening with the recruiter, followed by two interviews with hiring managers, a presentation to managers, two more interviews with managers, and a final interview with a director of sales.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL (US)) in June 2016.
The interview process was lengthy (about 5 weeks) and thorough. I had 2 initial phone screens, an on-site visit with the recruiter and 2 managers, a mock presentation over the phone, and then another on-site visit with the director of sales. Despite the length, the overall process was outstanding. Kate was always available to help with each step and answer any questions I had. I was truly impressed with the entire process.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL (US)) in May 2016.
Applied via Glassdoor and received a call the next day.
1) 30 min phone screen with awesome recruiter. Very personable, asked about what I do, how my experience relates to the position I applied for, etc.
2) 30 min call with potential hiring manager. More in depth about my role, sales results, quotas and attainment. Why Glassdoor? Why sales? What can I bring to the table? Very friendly and easy going conversation. Felt comfortable from the start!
3) 30 min mock sales presentation over call/shared screen. They give you a prepared slide deck beforehand, and you have to role play as the Glassdoor account executive to HR/Marketing executives of a company (who in reality are three sales managers at Glassdoor assessing your pitch). Be sure to ask the right questions and lots of them at the start! Really probe and dig deep into what the problem areas are for the company you are presenting to. Then be sure to resolve those issues throughout your presentation and at the end reel them in. Close it in some way, be aggressive if they give you an ambiguous answer about next steps.
4) Last step. Three, 30 min back to back interviews on a video conference. Talked with two sales managers and sales director. Don't take this for granted, really show them what you can do for Glassdoor, and how you are unique from all the other candidates out there. This is your chance to shine!
All in all, I had a great experience. I came from a healthcare IT sales background, with no referral, and a remote candidate. They worked with me and were completely transparent the whole time. It truly was a get to know you process and see how you can contribute in a positive way to Glassdoor which is what it should be. The communication and honesty from the recruiter and entire team was so refreshing and helped me be successful!
P.S. I would have put I had a positive experience even if I didn't receive an offer.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL (US)) in March 2016.
Had an initial call with a recruiter with very high level questions about my resume and past experience, immediately scheduled the second phone interview with my to be manager for the same week.
second call was a much more in depth conversation about what i have accomplished in the past and why i think that i am a good fit for the role, also gave time to answer some questions that I had as well. I heard back a week after the second call to schedule my sales pitch.
sales pitch was selling glassdoor, not looking for product knowledge. looking to see how you can connect their needs with what we can do.
4th and final interview was two in person interviews. Really sell yourself during this step as you are in the home stretch. received an offer the same evening.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL (US)) in December 2015.
Applied online via Glassdoor and received an email from a recruiter a few days later. Went through a quick/standard phone screener and was immediately asked to schedule a skype interview with two sales managers (about 30 minutes each). The interview was pretty conversational and mostly focused on my resume/past sales experience, hitting goals, what motivates you, etc. Have lots of questions prepared—they will leave a good chunk of time at the end for you.
Next was the mock sales pitch, you'll be asked to sell Glassdoor—you do not need to demo or go into detail about the products, think big picture! They want to see how you handle objections, that you understand the Glassdoor value prop, and get a general sense of your sales style. This will be awkward but just stay in character (be professional and polite) and stick with it.
Finally, I had an in person interview with two different sales managers, a lot of the same questions but I would be prepared to really sell yourself. A week later I had one more phone call with a manager to wrap things up and received an offer a few days after that.
Throughout the process the recruiters were very clear about the timeline so I was never left waiting or in the dark. The entire process took about three weeks. Overall, the experience was great and the team could not have been more pleasant. Biggest takeaways: Try and relax and keep things conversational, have questions prepared, and feel comfortable talking about why you love sales and why you want a career with Glassdoor.
Interview Questions
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor in January 2015.
Had an initial conversation with a talent warrior who qualified me as a potential candidate. He asked me for my background and why I wanted to work with Glassdoor. After determining I was qualified, he arranged for me to coming into the office to meet with 2 regional sales managers and the overall sales manager. I met with each for 30 minutes where questions ranged from my past experience in sales to why did I want to make a lateral move to a new industry. Overall, fairly comprehensive where they were trying to determine my personality and qualification.

The word bible is derived from the Greek word biblia and it means a collection of writings or books. The Bible contains 66 books. 39 books contain what is called the Old Testament. 27 books contain what is called the New Testament.
The books of the Bible were written in manuscript form. Manuscript is from the Latin manus, "hand," scriptus, "written." It means written by hand. Some of the materials used were:
- Clay tablets, wax tablets, leather, broken pieces of pottery, cloth, and the bark of trees.
- The Jews commonly used scrolls of leather.
- For 4,000 years, papyrus scrolls were used. Papyrus is a plant that was found in various areas including the Nile river in Egypt.
- About the fourth century, papyrus was largely replaced by parchment or vellum. Vellum is skins from a calf, a lamb or a kid goat.
The original Old Testament was written in Hebrew-Aramaic (Chaldee). The original New Testament was written in Greek. There were about 40 writers. Some of them were:
- Shepherds; Amos.
- Kings; David and Solomon.
- Scribes; Ezra.
- Priests; Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Zechariah.
- A tax collector; Matthew.
- A physician; Luke.
- Fishermen; Peter and John.
- A tent maker; Paul.
- Statesmen; Isaiah and Daniel.
The writing of the Bible covered a period of over 1500 years. We have no original manuscripts of the Old or the New Testaments. There are only "copies" of the originals.
Concerning the New Testament there are over 5,300 Greek manuscripts of the N.T.. In addition there are over 10,000 manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate of the N.T..
In addition there are at least 9,300 other early version manuscripts of the N.T..
Concerning the Old Testament, before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the earliest complete Hebrew manuscript was written about 900 A.D., with a few other manuscripts dated about the same time. Until the time of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, there was some criticism as to the reliability of the existing Hebrew manuscripts compared to the text of the first century. The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947 in the caves at Qumran.
They are dated about 125 - 100 B.C. These scrolls confirmed the accurateness of the existing Hebrew text. Scholars tell us that in the Dead Sea Scrolls the book of Isaiah itself is exactly word for word in 95% as the Hebrew text of 900 A.D.. The other 5% being slips of the pen, and various misspellings. The Jews were meticulous, methodical, and religious in making copies of the Hebrew text. They were very ritualistic concerning their bodily cleanliness, the clothes they wore, and before they wrote the name of God they followed a religious observance.
The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Old Testament, (285-246 B.C.). It substantiates the genuineness of the Hebrew text.
Because of the number of copies of manuscripts, multiplicity of errors crept in. This is also seen in other ancient literature. The printing press, which helped to eliminate errors, gave rise to Biblical Criticism. This is a science in correcting the problems of the text of the Bible. Because of this effort we can be assured that we have a reliable and pure text. Scholars tell us that most of the various readings are in differences of spelling; in the form of words not affecting the essential meaning; in adding or omitting words not essential to the sense; using one synonym for another; and interchanging of words whose order in the sentence is not important.
A translation is rendering one written language into another written language; e.g., the Greek into English. A version is a particular translation of a given work; e.g., King James Version, American Standard and The Living Bible. A revision is an improved or updated version of a particular version or translation; e.g., from the Bishops' Bible 1568; then to the King James Version 1611, then revised 1769; then to the American Standard 1901, then to the New American Standard. A paraphrase is a free translation; e.g., Good News For Modern Man and The Living Bible. Use paraphrases with great caution. In many places they are more commentary of what a man thinks God says than what God actually says.
Some things that man has done to make the Bible easier to read and reference are:
- The dividing of the Bible into Chapters and verses. Chapters, by Hugo in 1250 A.D.. Verses, by Sir Robert Stephens 1551 A.D..
- Jesus's words in some bibles are printed in red.
- References were added in Bibles. Running references, concordances.
- Notes and commentaries.All these are additions by man. Use with great caution.
Bibles became more available to the general public, after the invention of the printing press, by Gutenberg, in 1450 A.D.. Some gave their lives that we might have the written word made available publicly. Some important translators were:
- John Wycliffe, in the 14th century, was the first to translate the whole bible into the English language. The Roman Catholics opposed his work and forbid many people from reading this bible under the penalty of death. Many paid large sums of money just to read it for an hour. The bones of Wycliffe were dug up forty years after his death by the Roman Catholics and burned.
- William Tyndale, in 1525 published the first English New Testament in print, at least 15,000 copies was issued. The Catholics seized thousands and burned them. The Roman Catholic authorities eventually had Tyndale strangled and burnt at the stake for the work that he had done.
- John Rogers issued a Bible in 1537, afterward he was burnt at the stake in Queen Mary's reign.
That man was an agent in writing and putting together the books of the Bible cannot be denied. Because of this there are some men who would like to discredit this work, and say it is merely a work of men; that God had no hand in it. The Bible teaches all scripture is inspired by God, (2 Tim. 3:16). The Bible also teaches that His word would abide forever, and that His words would not pass away; (1 Peter 1:25; Matt. 24:35).
It is important that we understand this promise that God has given to us, and to understand the role that God and man played in the production of what we call the Bible. This understanding will help us to combat ignorance and the attacks upon the credibility of the Bible. We need to be very thankful and appreciate the work that God, the inspired writers, the scholars and educators have done in bringing together a work that none other has been able to equal. Let us show our appreciation by reading and studying the Bible.

Tighter beef supply forecast as calf registration falls
Fewer calf registrations combined with higher mortality in both calves and cows this year point to a tighter home-produced prime cattle supply in 2019 and 2020.
The latest British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) figures show that 1.75m cattle births were registered in Great Britain over the first seven months of 2018.
See also: 5 successful leader grant projects to inspire farmers
AHDB beef and lamb lead analyst Duncan Wyatt said this was a 1% drop on the same period 12 months ago.
The BCMS data also reveals a 2% increase in the numbers of dairy female registrations at 260,000 head, possibly due to the increased use of sexed semen.
"The vast majority of these might be expected to serve as replacements in the UK dairy herd," Mr Wyatt said.
"Prime beef supply would typically come from the other three groups, dairy males and beef cattle of both sexes – although of course some female beef types will also become replacements," he added.
Analysing the BCMS figures further, Mr Wyatt pointed out that calvings of dairy males were 3% lower in the year to July at 173,000 head, while 651,000 beef females (-1%) and 670,000 beef males (-1.5%) were registered during the same period.
"Together these mean about 20,500 fewer animals, either as supply or beef replacements were registered in Great Britain so far this year," he calculated.
However, registrations are only a part of the story.
The long, wet winter gave rise to difficulties at calving time and unfortunately losses appear to have been higher than last year, Mr Wyatt added.
The BCMS data indicates that cow mortality on farm is up by 16-20% year-on-year, possibly due to complications at calving, Mr Wyatt said.
Also, post-registration calf mortality of dairy males and beef animals of both sexes was higher in the cold spring of 2018 than in the first seven months of 2017.
Added to an extra 22,000 cows slaughtered so far this year, the prime cattle supply in 2019 and 2020 is likely to be diminished, Mr Wyatt predicted.
He put down the additional numbers sent for slaughter to a combination of a lack of forage and an attractive clean cow price for the manufacturing beef market .

When you're in the mood for non-pulled pork, non-pork chop, non-bacon, crunchy, porcine deliciousness, there's just no substitute for that classic, good ole snickety, sublime, snackalicious standby, pork rinds.
And as any pork rind aficionado knows, any old pork rinds will do, whether they're plain, barbecue or hot.
After all, fried pork skin is fried pork skin, is fried pork skin, right?
All pork rinds were not created equal, mon ami.
There are pork rinds and then there are pork rinds.
And then there are the top hogs on the top rung, in the inner circle of the pork rind charcuterie.
Sure you can get by with your standard, garden variety, gas station fare in a pinch. But if you really want to step up your gastronomic gamification reperetoire, you gotta reach higher.
And the pinnacle of pork rind perfection are 4505 Meats Fried Pork Rinds.
And who pray tell in the hell are 4505 Meats and what makes them so damn special?
I'm glad you asked. And while I could tell you, here's what their fancy website has to say:
"4505 Meats makes all natural, irresistibly delicious meaty snacks that dare you to eat the whole bag and won't leave you feeling guilty. Our founder, butcher and chef, Ryan Farr, understands the importance of quality ingredients crafted with care. Better meat means we source exclusively from a collective of small family ranchers that practice sustainable and humane husbandry techniques. Our snacks are simply seasoned with the finest spices available and nothing more so you can taste the care and quality of better meat and enjoy snacks that won't weigh you down."
And lest you think that is all overzealous puffery created by surly overpaid Mad Men, one taste and you'll know every word is true.
Now, if the name 4505 Meats doesn't ring a bell, maybe that's because you more than likely won't find these bad boys in any roadside hovel. Thankfully, even if you can't find them at your friendly neighborhood 7 Eleven or bodega, you can order them online at 4505meats.com.
Available in Classic Chili & Salt, Jalapeno Cheddar and Smokehouse BBQ flavors, each one is a porkalicious trip your taste buds won't soon forget. For these are arguably the best pork rinds in this neck of the universe.
Try them and you have my personal guarantee that you will be happier than a pig in shite.

Proverbs Chapter 18 Darby English Bible
He that separateth himself seeketh [his] pleasure, he is vehement against all sound wisdom.
The words of a man's mouth are deep waters, [and] the fountain of wisdom is a gushing brook.
It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to wrong the righteous in judgment.
The words of a talebearer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
The heart of an intelligent [man] getteth knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
He that is first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
A brother offended is [harder to be won] than a strong city; and contentions are as the bars of a palace.
A man's belly is satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips is he satisfied.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Whoso hath found a wife hath found a good thing, and hath obtained favour from Jehovah.
A man of [many] friends will come to ruin but there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.

15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
Establishing love as the chief mark of Christianity as love, Paul continues to give exhortation with regard to the manner in which a believer should live. If love exemplifies the nature of Christianity, then the life of a believer ought to manifest peace, unity, and gratitude. In a world so tainted by sin and despair, the ideals of peace and unity must be pursued in order to be made manifest.
The imperatives of verses 15-17 are exhortations that must be actively pursued. The world surrounding Christians is a world that attempts to ruin the peace of believers and is actively attempting to stifle the believer's ability to grow in holiness. Paul warns in Ephesians that the believer should make the most of the time they have because the very days themselves are evil and actively work against believers (Ephesians 5:15-16). Peace is a goal that the true believers must strive for. In order to have peace, one must work to establish it. The effort to cultivate peace begins in the heart of a believer and is secured through the community of believers. Paul's admonition to "let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts" is both a command to submit to Jesus and a reminder that He is King. The word translated "rule" means to control or arbitrate for the benefit of another. Christians must strive to bring their entire being under the control of Christ's character. Some of that will require surrender to His work and plan. For most believers, surrender is simply a matter of trusting that the Lord is good and will accomplish what He promises. For others, surrender actually entails a giving over or giving up of some activities and efforts that are inconsistent with following Christ. In order for the peace of Christ to be present, Christians must surrender to His rule.
The peace of Christ also thrives through a consistent Biblical community. When true Christians intertwine their lives together, the peace of Christ is made manifest in the transparency and grace of the community. As believers gather together to worship God, serve others, and love one another, the love and character of God are made manifest and the peace of Christ results (1 John 4:12). Paul's exhortation is that the peace of Christ would rule in the collective body of believers. This peace that transcends all understanding is present most effectively and most obviously in a Christian community (Philippians 4:7). Consider for a moment your own circumstance. Are you living in community with fellow believers? Could you say the peace of Christ rules within your heart? If the answer is no to both, then perhaps you ought to consider finding a faithful Christian community to join. Search for one that teaches the Bible and urges you to live a holy life. In our world, anxiety and turmoil are common among people. Strive to engage with brothers and sisters who love the Lord and live in holy community.
At the conclusion of verse 16, Paul urges the Colossians to "be thankful." Gratitude is perhaps the greatest weapon that a believer has against the unsettled anxiety of the tortured world we live in. When Christians cultivate a spirit of gratitude for all things, they can often overcome the besetting anxiousness that overwhelms. There are two reasons that cultivating gratitude can provide a sense of peace among believers. The first is in the recognition that Christ is Lord over and sustainer of all things. So a believer can give thanks to The Lord, knowing that He is providing according to His plan and desires, which are ALWAYS good. Second reason gratitude begets peace is that gratitude is a way to conform the thoughts and mind to consider God's will greater than our own. Cultivating gratitude for everything slowly transforms the way we engage in this life and removes the critical and self-righteous attempt to rule over our circumstances. In this way, we can say with Paul in Philippians that we have "learned the secret of contentment" (Philippians 4:11). For more on cultivating a spirit of gratitude, go check out Anne Voskamp's books "1000 gifts" and "the broken way."

The number of telephone calls made by people travelling around Europe has doubled since roaming charges were abolished a year and a half ago.
According to the latest findings from the European Commission, there has been a significant change in mobile phone behaviour since June 15th 2017 when roaming charges came to an end.
Mobile phone data usage has increased by five times, and Europeans now make twice as many calls as they did before.
Vice-president for the Digital Single Market Andrus Ansip said: "Together with other digital rights, such as the end of unjustified geo-blocking and the portability of content, this is a good example to demonstrate how the European Union (EU) can deliver for the benefits of its citizens in their daily life."
Before the end of roaming charges, only 15 per cent of travellers on the continent would be happy to go online on their mobile phone as much as they would at home. However, this has jumped to 34 per cent since June last year.
What's more, the proportion of people who never use their mobile data while abroad has dropped from 42 per cent to 19 per cent over the last 18 months.
The abolition of data roaming charges benefits all Europeans travelling in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). This is great news for those using business phone systems while abroad, as they do not have to restrict their online use or the number of phone calls they make, even if they are travelling. This makes them easily contactable wherever they are in Europe.
However, it remains unclear what will happen after Brexit on March 29th 2019. If there is no deal, the government has stated "surcharge-free roaming when you travel to the EU could no longer be guaranteed". Mobile phone operators might have to issue separate policies regarding roaming charges, which could be vary between suppliers.
