Do You Have An Agricultural Program Targeted By The White House For Cutting?Tweet
The White House budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2013 beginning October 1, proposes a USDA budget of $22.9 billion in discretionary budget authority, which is down $698 million from FY 2012. Additionally, mandatory programs are proposed for $127.7 billion, which is up $5.7 billion from FY 2012, primarily due to increased crop insurance outlays. While the President's message about the USDA budget did not address crop insurance because it is proposed elsewhere for substantial cuts, the White House did indicate it was going to save $32 billion over 10 years with elimination of direct payments, cuts to crop insurance, and elimination of disaster assistance. But there were also plenty of cuts being proposed elsewhere in the FY 2013 budget.
The White House budget overview for the US Department of Agriculture outlined many efforts to streamline the department, reduce expenses from duplicative programs, but also to spend more on research, promotion of biofuels, and improvement of water quality. Regarding biofuels, "This Budget provides $19 million in assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses to complete a variety of projects, including renewable energy systems, energy efficiency improvements, and renewable energy development. Finally, the Administration proposes over $200 million to continue support for the development of homegrown, advanced biofuels that have the potential to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and to bolster our rural economies."
There were several significant cuts in the budget, including trimming crop insurance, eliminating the direct payment program, and cuts to the Conservation Reserve Program. Here are the details proposed by the White House on Monday.
1) Commodity Payments to Farmers would be cut $22.668 bil. over 10 years. The budget message said, "Providing income support payments to farmers that are experiencing near record incomes is not prudent. In fact, more than 50 percent of direct payments go to farmers with more than $100,000 in income. Economists have shown that direct payments have priced young Americans out of renting or owning the land needed to enter into farming. In a period of severe fiscal restraint, these payments are no longer defensible."
2) Conservation Reserve Program would be cut $997 mil. over 10 years. The budget writers proposed that, "CRP will be capped at 30 million acres by 2013 (saving an estimated $977 million in outlays over 10 years) by gradually reducing the acreage enrolled in the program through attrition. High commodity prices have lowered demand for enrollment in CRP as more farmers look to increase planted acres."
3) Crop Insurance Program would be cut $7.6 bil. over 10 years. What is proposed is a combination of cuts in premium subsidies and payments to crop insurance companies for administering the program. "The Administration is proposing to lower the crop insurance companies' ROI to meet the 12 percent target, saving $1.2 billion over 10 years. The Administration, therefore, proposes setting the cap on administrative expenses at $0.9 billion (2006) adjusted annually for inflation, which would save $2.9 billion over 10 years.
For premium subsidy changes, the Administration proposes to reduce the premium for catastrophic (CAT) coverage policies, which will slightly lower the reimbursement to crop insurance companies. The premium for CAT coverage is fully subsidized for the farmer, so the farmer is not impacted by the change. This change will save $255 million over 10 years.
In addition, the Administration is proposing to reduce producers' premium subsidy by two basis points for all but catastrophic crop insurance, where the subsidy is greater than 50 percent. This will have little impact on producers. Most producers pay only 40 percent of the cost of their crop insurance premium on average, with the Government paying for the remainder. This cost-share arrangement was implemented in 2000, when very few producers participated in the program and "ad-hoc" agricultural disaster assistance bills were passed regularly. The Congress increased the premium subsidy for buy-up coverage by over 50 percent at the time to encourage greater participation. With current participation rates, the deep premium subsidies are no longer needed. This proposal is expected to save $3.3 billion over 10 years."
Among the other budget cuts and consolidations
4) $5 million is cut from the Agricultural Marketing Service by eliminating the Microbiological Data Program. "It is has a low impact and is not central to the core mission of AMS, which is to facilitate the competitive and efficient marketing of agricultural products."
5) $2 million is also cut from the Agricultural Marketing Service by eliminating the Pesticide Recordkeeping Program. "PRP is a lower-priority program because it is not central to the core mission of AMS."
6) All $1 million would be cut from the Electric Guaranteed Underwriting Loan Program. "This program is entirely duplicative of the Rural Electric and Rural Telecommunication loan programs administered by RUS. In addition, over the past several years the Electric Guaranteed Underwriting program has had only one active applicant and very few actual disbursements."
7) Cut all $20 mil from ag, forestry, and fishing programs of the National institute of Occupational Safety and health of the Centers for Disease Control. "AgFF is one of 10 sectors that CDC has been focused on over several years. There have been positive accomplishments from this program. However, given the relation to CDC's mission and the ability to have a national impact on improved health outcomes, the AgFF program has been designated as a low priority program and proposed for elimination."
8) Farm Service Agency Discretionary Conservation Programs would lose all $5 million. "The Hardwood Tree Reforestation Pilot Program and Grassroots Sourcewater Protection Program are lower-priority programs and duplicative of other private lands conservation programs administered by the Department of Agriculture."
9) Health Care Services Grant Program would lose all $1 million. "Health care services, health education, and health care training programs are not programs that USDA has experience evaluating or implementing. HHS, however, has expertise in this area and has programs that support similar goals. For example, HHS allocates over $2 billion for a Health Center grants program that supports services to the underserved in rural as well as urban areas."
10) Pest and Disease Programs would see a cut of $54 mil of the $816 million budget. "Examples of programs that are being reduced or eliminated are: Johne's Disease; Cotton Pest; and Chronic Wasting Disease programs. These reductions will allow the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to focus on areas where it can achieve success."
11) Public Broadcasting Grants would be cut $3 million and eliminated. "Moreover, the USDA Public Broadcasting Grants program is duplicative and significantly smaller than the digital conversion activities of Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Since CPB funds a variety of public broadcast needs, including digital conversion, future needs should be funded through CPB."
12) Research, Education and Extension Grants would see a cut of $31 million. "The Department of Agriculture (USDA) funding for research, education, extension, and integrated grants is awarded through competitive peer-reviewed grants, and formula programs largely to land grant institutions and other programs based on purposes defined in authorizing legislation. However, there are some programs that are of lower-priority, and are also relatively small in size and do not have a large impact. The 2013 Budget eliminates funding for 15 of these programs (10 in research and education, three in Extension, and two in integrated), saving about $31 million." The grant programs targeted for elimination include: Animal health, rangeland restoration, critical agricultural markets, supplemental and alternative crops, Farm business management, capacity building for non Land Grant colleges, policy research grants, rural health and safety, forest products, food animal residue avoid database, methyl bromide transition program, sungrants, youth organizations, water quality, and potato breeding.
13) Rural Business Opportunity Grants would have a cut of all $2 million. "The Administration proposes to eliminate funding for the lower-priority Rural Business Opportunity Grants (RBOG) program because many of the activities funded under RBOG can be accomplished though the Rural Business Enterprise Grants (RBEG) program."
14) High Energy Cost Grants would lose all $10 million. "The Rural Utility Services Electric Loan Program and High Energy Cost Grants program are duplicative, having similar goals to provide reasonably priced electric service to rural residents. Low-interest electric loans are available to most rural areas with more favorable rates in areas where borrowers have low revenue per kilowatt sold and the average per capita income of residents is below the State average. In contrast, only Alaska, Hawaii, the territories, and a few isolated areas within the continental United States qualify for the grant program based on their high energy costs. The areas eligible for grants are also eligible for low-cost electric loans through RUS."
15) Rural Multifamily Housing Preservation Grants would have all $4 million cut. "Since 2006, USDA has found that multifamily housing preservation is achieved more efficiently through these revitalization strategies rather than preservation grants. Collectively across multiple programs, the funding for multifamily housing preservation activities within USDA's Rural Housing Service is increased overall by $7 million for 2013."
16) Rural Single Family Housing Grant Programs would lose $22 of $60 million. "It is expected that some of the shortfall in funding will be made up from additional funding in their related direct loan programs and the small amount of carryover balances that regularly occur in these programs."
17) Single Family Housing Direct Loans of $43 million would be cut by $4 million. "The program has struggled to make a measurable impact due to straight-lined funding levels, an allocation process that diminishes loan making ability by broadly distributing funding, and a labor-intensive review process. At the same time, USDA has effectively used the guaranteed single family housing loan program to provide needed assistance to low-income borrowers."
18) State and Volunteer Fire Assistance Grants would have a cut of $15 of $99 million. "Other programs provide support to State and local fire organizations including USDA's community facilities program and the Department of Homeland Security Firefighter Assistance Grants programs (Assistance to Firefighter Grants and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants). These other programs can support the purchase of equipment, training of personnel and staffing."
19) Water and Wastewater and Community Facilities Loan Guarantees would be eliminated with a cut of all $6 million. "The defaults in these programs have been much higher than initially projected. In addition, there has been very limited demand for the water and wastewater loan guarantees. Meanwhile, the direct loan programs have very low defaults, while serving much lower-income communities."
20) Watershed Rehabilitation Program would lose all $15 million. "The program has provided an incentive for communities benefiting from the program to allow residential and commercial development in vulnerable floodplain areas in and around watershed structures. This increased development has contributed to the deterioration of the structures and increased the financial risk of structural failure."
21) Economic impact grants would lose all $6 million. "The Budget proposes no funding for the duplicative economic impact grant program, which are grants for communities suffering from high unemployment and out-migration to finance community projects such as fire stations, medical clinics, and day care centers. These activities can be funded with the Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) community facilities grant program."
22) Additionally, the White House wants to save $240 million over 5 years through USDA office consolidation. It says, "USDA reviewed all of its operations, from headquarters to field offices, to determine what offices could be closed or consolidated. In some cases these offices are no longer staffed nor have a very small staff of one or two people, and many are within 20 miles of similar USDA offices. In other cases, advances in technology have reduced the need for brick and mortar facilities. The end result is a plan that will create optimal use of USDA's employees, better results for USDA customers, and greater efficiencies for American taxpayers."
The Fiscal Year 2013 budget proposal calls for a savings of $7.955 bil. from USDA cutbacks in 2013. Some of those were not a surprise, such as the planned elimination of the direct payment program, but there were many other cuts that were surprises. Throughout the federal budget there were many other departments with rural service programs that were being cut. The Congress has to consider the budget, and with the political dysfunction in Washington, many changes are expected, but there could be programs that are cut even further.

Don't go halfway when it's time to redo the brakes on your truck. Whether you tow a trailer, race or just drive aggressively (Who? Me?), you should have the best brakes possible. Power Stop gives you the best of both worlds: let's start with the brake pads. Factory, OEM brake pads are a bucketful of compromises. They balance several factors, including pad noise, dust generation, service life, cost and – oh yeah, friction. But what works for most can be improved on. These Z36 metallic pads have a 17% higher coefficient of friction than OEM pads, giving you more stopping power, without standing on the pedal at the bottom of every long hill.
That would make these pads a great upgrade on your stock rotors, but you've already decided not to go halfway. Don't try to reuse your old discs, even if they still have enough meat on them after refinishing them to meet minimum thickness specifications. A thinner disc is a disc that has less mass. And it takes lots of mass to dissipate heat in a hurry, so get a pair of Power Stop drilled, slotted discs at the same time. Mass soaks up heat quickly during a panic stop, but it takes surface area and moving air to keep the rotors cool on a long downhill or in heavy stop-and-go traffic. Cross-drilling a disc adds surface area for improved cooling, but it also makes a dramatic improvement in braking performance in the rain. Cross drilling keeps water from wedging between the pad and disc surface, making the pad hydroplane, which severely affects braking ability.
Slotting does help some in the rain, although it has other advantages. During a high-speed stop, especially with a trailer or heavy load, the organic binders in the pad material will literally boil. This is normal; the problem is that the outgassing binder turns the pad into a hot little air-hockey puck that barely touches the disc surface. It rides on a pocket of outgassing binder, keeping the pad from contacting a normal, unslotted disc. Slots sweep the gases away, letting you glide to a normal stop in time instead of running that red light at the bottom of the hill with both feet standing on the brake pedal. Not fun. Power Stop's 1-Click Extreme Truck and Tow Brake Kit combines the advantages of both cross drilling and slotting to provide you with superior stopping ability, whether it's halfway down a hill, while towing, or during the rain. Add in the superior grip, low noise and dust generation of the Z36 high-friction metallic pads, and stop in comfort and safety.
Power Stop also uses the best technology for anti-squeal shims: constrained steel. A sandwich of two layers of steel with a viscoelastic layer between them prevents acoustic coupling between the pad and caliper piston, eliminating brake squeal. Other manufacturers attempt to use a single layer of steel or a layer of Teflon to achieve this. Power Stop's solution, while pricier, is far more effective.
Founded in 1997 in Southern California, Power Stop® began with the goal of bringing the benefits of superior brake components at a reasonable cost to street performance and backyard performance enthusiasts everywhere. Company management and engineers believed then, as they do today, that better brakes make driving more enjoyable and safer for any vehicle, terrain, and driving style – not just street performance. They developed a philosophy that while brake components cannot be superior without the most advanced materials, they also cannot perform in a superior fashion without matching the exact tolerances of each and every individual vehicle they are created for. Relentless development and testing led to brake pads, rotors, drum shoes, and other related components that delivered uncompromising fit and operation, and Power Stop's customer base grew exponentially from positive word of mouth. The company still has its original passion for creating the best products at the best possible prices, so when it comes to replacement brake components for your vehicle, Power Stop is the only name you need to know.

How Trust, Togetherness Moved a Mountain
Randy York's N-Sider
Last Friday night, 50 former Husker basketball players listened to Tim Miles talk for an hour inside Pinnacle Bank Arena, where Nebraska has won seven straight Big Ten games and all seven of its Season One non-conference games. Miles was standing in a makeshift pulpit in PBA's Club Lounge, enabling letterwinners and their guests from seven decades to see his sparkle and the oomph he had to welcome everybody back to Lincoln. Miles couldn't wait to tell the story about a new era for Nebrasketball, and once he launched into that epic, everyone listened and laughed and learned things that very few other head coaches in any sport would be willing to share.
Even though he had to be worn-out from preparation and the inherent pressure that goes with that, Miles showed no sign of fatigue. He had enthusiasm, energy, and insight. He was funny, incisive, and motivational. "He had the get-up-and-go that made me want to get up and go myself, and I played in the 1960s," said Nebraska basketball Hall-of-Famer Willie Campbell, who flew from Seattle to Lincoln to hear Miles speak and wave to Big Red fans at halftime. Miles was so open and so honest, he made every player who came to Lincoln on Legends Weekend feel like they were part of the family. When you dig as deep as Miles did explaining what the Huskers had to do to beat Northwestern, then Indiana and then Wisconsin to play their way into the NCAA Tournament, you know this is one man on a historic mission. Somehow, because he could start with the end in mind, Miles was able to present precise single-game snapshots that painted the portrait in his mind. In other words, he wasn't getting ahead of himself. He was merely explaining how one important chapter in this crazy game has to happen before you can turn the page and move on to the next. I call it Tim Miles' version of Great Expectations.
Motto 'Us Always' About Trust, Togetherness
It was an intriguing hour to connect Miles' quick-thinking mind into the hearts of legends. He described the culture and constantly reinforced it. Teamwork is paramount in his leadership structure. The biggest proof point was asking each member of his inner sanctum to introduce himself before the head coach represented the way they coach, think and act. If you've ever wondered why the Huskers wear "Us Always" as a motto on their adidas pregame warm-up shirts, wonder no more. A team that was once 9-9 after a loss at Penn State searched its collective soul while media members privately tried to figure out if Nebraska could win three more games this season after opening Big Ten play with a 1-5 record. The bottom line? Nebraska needed an extreme makeover. Miles knew trust and togetherness would be critical, so he empowered his players to decide how they could achieve those important goals. Attitude became front and center and chemistry was close behind. To a man, they bought into Us Always. "Coach honestly believes that if it's not Us Always, it's Us Never," said Teddy Owens, the Nebraska men's basketball administrative coordinator who was in charge of Legends Weekend. "When we click on all cylinders, something special is going to happen. We're still a work in progress, but it's been enjoyable to see the pieces starting to come together. Guys buy in and guys step up."
Make no mistake. Tim Miles hardly considers himself to be the magician who pulls a rabbit out of a hat. He isn't and doesn't want to be a one-man show. That's why he asked eight critical members of his team to explain their respective roles in helping the Huskers adjust their sails and get Nebraska moving in a positive direction again. Assistants Chris Harriman, Craig Smith and Kenya Hunter went first, followed by director of operations Jayden Olson, strength coach Tim Wilson, Owens, video coordinator Gregory Eaton and associate media relations director Shamus McKnight. Miles praised each member of his team, then delivered an animated talk interwoven with Saturday Night Live-like quips, quotes and anecdotes. Yes, the presentation was funny, but it was mostly an honest inside look at a program that wants to be nationally relevant and has a plan to do just that. A small-town guy with a big-time heart, Tim Miles dreams B1G. He also shares B1G. Since everyone's still on the ground floor of this new escalator, Miles not only defines the challenges, but also describes game plans, shares hopes, explains dreams, and in the process, accomplishes his goals to win friends and influence people.
Great Plan, Great Passion = Great Performance
Tim Miles has a great plan. He has great passion, and he expects great performance now, not next year or the year after. To Miles, the future is now. If anybody can pull off a miracle after being picked to finish 12th and starting 0-4 in the conference, Tim Miles is the guy for one fundamentally simple reason – he says what he believes and believes what he says. It's time to ask N-Siders the same question Al Michaels once asked: Do you believe in miracles? If so, perhaps you see Nebraska upsetting No. 9 Wisconsin (AP) Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. inside Pinnacle Bank Arena. Even without such a pivotal win, Nebraska replaced California to become one of the "last 5 in" the Big Dance, according to USA Today's online NCAA Tournament Bracketlogy. Check out Lee Barfknecht's lead for his Nebraska-Indiana game story in the Omaha World-Herald: "Dear NCAA men's basketball selection committee: Does going into one of the college game's hallowed houses of hoops, never trailing and winning by 10 points in the first week of March, get your attention? How about nine wins in the past 11 games? Or holding an eighth straight opponent to less than 38 percent shooting? Or moving into fourth place alone in the Big Ten?"
All-time Nebraska scoring leader Dave Hoppen represented NU basketball legends at the Northwestern game.
Game Reminded Miles of Watching CBS as a Kid
Beating Indiana 70-60 wasn't a Tim Miles win. It was a program win, one that gave Nebraska's second-year head coach goose bumps. "I got chills watching practice tape because the angle we filmed reminded me of watching games on CBS when I was younger," Miles said. "I got goose bumps thinking, 'Holy Cow, we're really here' That tells you how we feel about Indiana. I tried to stay in the moment and just coach our guys, but it means a lot. These guys are very committed to Nebraska basketball.
"The re-invention of Husker basketball started a couple years ago when we left the Big 12 for the Big Ten, which is the premier basketball conference in the country," Miles said. "When you look at the crowd, the team support, the Hall-of-Fame coaches, it's just unbelievable. The second thing that led to the reinvention was the facilities and lastly, the third thing was great administrative support to go out and bring in the right recruits. Now our kids have a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament."
Beating Wisconsin Would Lead to More Bandwagons
Indeed. If Nebraska upsets Wisconsin Sunday night, there won't be enough band wagons to go around. You have to love the way Miles was willing to share his pregame speech for the Indiana Hoosiers who were forced to celebrate Senior Night in front of thousands of disappointed fans after the game. Miles said his speech went like this: "Guys, it's our time. We're going to reap what we've sown. We've already done the Andy Dufesne of 'Shawshank Redemption'. We've crawled through our river. Those days are behind us. That's not who we are anymore. We're on the other side, so let's just enjoy this. We're stronger together." For those who haven't seen the movie, Dufresne (played by actor Tim Robbins) was a successful banker who was wrongly convicted of murder and spent 19 years in Shawshank Prison before successfully escaping through a working sewer pipe and coming out clean. All they found of Andy was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap and an old rock hammer. If you want to know what the rock hammer was for, rent the movie. It's a classic that you think is about to end in four or five different places.
Collins Hoping Huskers Qualify for NCAA Tournament
If Miles can use metaphors to describe the stuff his team had to swim through to get to where the Huskers are now, let the record show why credibility is building for this emerging team, which picked up another important believer last Saturday in Lincoln. After losing a second close game to Nebraska, Northwestern Coach Chris Collins mentioned how much respect he has for Coach Miles and his team. "They play really hard," Collins said. "They're very physical. It was my first time coming to Lincoln. What a cool atmosphere to play college basketball. Walking around that (Nebraska) floor, seeing all that red and seeing the energy and the hunger in the crowd was a really cool thing. Even though we lost, it was a really fun game to be a part of because of the atmosphere and the way both teams were competing."
Collins was asked if he thinks Nebraska should be in the NCAA Tournament. "I hope so," he said. "They're a good team and they're confident. That's what I like about them. They carry themselves with the swagger of being a good team. Coach Miles, I respect the heck out of him. You get a chance to see it when you watch a lot of film and study these teams. These guys are well-prepared. They play hard. They're locked in defensively. They play physical. I hope they make it. I want teams in our league to make the tournament and do well. You want to win when you're in battle with them, but at the end of the day, I'd love to see these guys rewarded. Hopefully, they can finish the season strong and have a chance to go to the tournament."

WESTPORT — The Board of Health is offering low-interest loans for residents with failed septic systems.
WESTPORT — The Board of Health is offering low-interest loans for residents with failed septic systems.
The initiative is part of Massachusetts' Community Septic Management Program (CSMP). It is available to all Westport homeowners with a failed septic system, provided that they are in good tax standing with the community, officials said.
Loans are available for up to 20 years at a 2 percent interest rate. This is done through a betterment program and the money is paid back through an additional charge on the homeowner's property tax bill, enabling the town to run the program without raising taxes, officials said.
The program is being funded thanks to a November special Town Meeting vote to appropriate $500,000 from the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust toward water pollution facility projects, including septic system repairs and upgrades.
"We got notified of the state-level project last year," said Senior Health Agent Jim Walsh. "The article got approved at the Town Meeting and its just starting to kick into gear now."
Interested homeowners can apply through the Board of Health. The application is available at its page on the town's website. Applicants will receive a homeowner's packet detailing the process from there.
"We've had a few inquiries but no responses yet," said Walsh before adding "It's just getting started."
While the program mainly targets septic systems that fail to meet the standards of Title 5, it is also available for innovative/alternative systems and zero pollution discharge systems. It is not available for commercial properties or for the sole purpose of home expansion, officials said.
According to a press release from the Westport Water Resources Management Committee, the Septic Management Program has repaired or replaced more than 5,600 failed septic systems in Southeastern Massachusetts since being founded in 1997. During this time, more than $60 million has been loaned to homeowners.

There's nothing worse than purchasing a Windows Phone, but not able to rock the night away with apps and games from the store. The unique market that is China has been an interesting addition to the ecosystem with Xbox Live, social networks and even store content being affected by tight restrictions (The Great Firewall).
Luckily there's light at the end of the tunnel as LiveSino reports that it's now possible to alter your region and then download content from the store that's not published for China.
So how does one achieve the above? Simply head to "settings> language + region" and make some changes. The website notes that this trick works on Lumia Windows Phone hardware. If this method does not work however, there's a backup:
- Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data connectivity
- Change the region (see above settings location) to Hong Kong and restart
- Change the phone language to English, "country / region" to Hong Kong and restart
There you have it, folks. This will reportedly enable Chinese residents to install apps and games that aren't region restricted. Let us know in the comments how you're getting along in China with Windows Phone and if you've tried these workarounds on your Nokia device.
via: LiveSino; thanks, Yan, for the tip!

1. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW May 7, 2012 9:39 AM (in response to stickleback6)
In Illustrator CS5 you can just open the files, no need for a script.
As for Illy CS6: it will no longer open Freehand files of any kind. They must be first saved as an EPS from Freehand, then open in Illustrator.
TIP: for people with Macs, better keep an old system running as long as possible on Snow Leopard with CS5. Freehand is officially dead
2. Re: Opening Freehand filesGustavo Del Vechio May 7, 2012 9:40 AM (in response to stickleback6)
Hi stickleback6
Illustrator CS5 supports opening Freehand formats *.fh7, *.fh8, *.fh9, *.fh10, *.fh11, *.ft11
Illustrator CS6 has no support any longer for Freehand formats.
What´s the Freehand´s version of the file your are trying to open in Illustrator CS5?
3. Re: Opening Freehand filesmaeric May 7, 2012 6:33 PM (in response to Gustavo Del Vechio)
Gustavo, how do you know this for sure?
4. Re: Opening Freehand filesWade_Zimmerman May 7, 2012 7:39 PM (in response to maeric)
Gustavo is a community professional and besides the specifications of Illustrator CS 6 are out and you can check this out for yourself by downloading the trial version of Illustrator CS 6 and try opening any Freehand file.
5. Re: Opening Freehand filesLes ONeill May 8, 2012 12:43 AM (in response to Wade_Zimmerman)
I too would like a definitive answer for this. Is it true that CS6 has dropped support for opening FreeHand files? Is it OS related (I'm still running 10.6.8 because of Apple's decission to drop Rosetta in Lion)? If true, can someone (preferably an Adobe employee) please explain the reasoning? and why have I seen nothing about this until this thread?
6. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW May 8, 2012 1:56 AM (in response to Les ONeill)
Sorry I wasn't able to reply earlier.... but yes it is true, Illustrator CS6 does NOT open Freehand files any longer. I know this as fact since I'm working with Illustrator CS6 this morning (Germany) in another window as I write this.
a) if you try to open a Freehand file through the dialog box, all Freehand files are greyed as "All readable documents".
b) if you click on the list menu, Freehand is truly no longer there as a supported format.
c) if you drag and drop a Freehand file on the Illustrator icon in the dock, you will receive an error dialog: The file "Logo_Multi.fh11" is an unknown format and cannot be opened."
My version of Freehand is MX 11.02 --- Just go up to the Freehand Menu and choose "About Freehand"... the version number appears in red for about a second before the credits start to roll.

Thanks Doc, me too, so will need to keep 5.1 on board for the forseeable future. I just can't believe Adobe kept stum on this issue when it clearly is crucial information for so many people's workflows.
10. Re: Opening Freehand filesBob the Sign Guy May 8, 2012 7:22 AM (in response to Les ONeill)
I don't understand why Adobe would drop File>Open/Import support for Freehand. More than a few experienced Illustrator users migrated over from Freehand and have old FH-based art files they might want to use from time to time. For example, certain versions of Freehand had fairly decent collections of vector-based clip art while Adobe has never really put much effort into bundling similar goodies into Illustrator.
I wonder if the move to 64-bit code forced the elimination of Freehand support. Did Adobe drop File>Open/Import support for any other notable applications in Illustrator CS6?
11. Re: Opening Freehand filesGustavo Del Vechio May 8, 2012 9:07 AM (in response to Bob the Sign Guy)
"Did Adobe drop File>Open/Import support for any other notable applications in Illustrator CS6?"
No. Just Freehand support.
Illustrator CS6 also added to support for opening Idea files (made by the Adobe Ideas App).
12. Re: Opening Freehand filesBob the Sign Guy May 8, 2012 10:03 AM (in response to Gustavo Del Vechio)
I don't know too much about the Adobe Ideas app other than my Android phone might not be big enough for me to create little sketchy things good enough to bother importing into Illustrator and/or Photoshop. Obviously the app is geared for tablet use. The "work on up to 10 layers for no extra charge" thing scares me a little. It has me thinking of a scenario where I'm smearing my finger on the screen and suddenly run into a scenario where I have to break out the credit card in the middle of a mobile improv creative session. Tablets are popular with a lot of people, but I don't have much use for them given all the limitations in storage capacity, connectivity, etc. I'd rather use a notebook with full computer functions rather than something primarily built for media consumption. I can plug my Wacom tablet into a notebook.
The rival CorelDRAW application still offers Freehand import support. However, the mileage varies on how well Freehand artwork is imported. It's already challenging enough making CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator play nice in how they trade files between each other. For instance, neither one knows how to properly import each other's interactive gradient fills. Other apps besides Freehand are arguably lapsing into obsurity or dying. Neither Illustrator or CorelDRAW can import ACD Canvas art files, Canvas was formerly developed by Deneba. Micrographix Designer was (sort of) turned into Corel Designer -the last couple or so versions are really modified builds of CorelDRAW rather than the old Micrographix product.
13. Re: Opening Freehand filesLes ONeill May 8, 2012 3:01 PM (in response to Bob the Sign Guy)
I would still love to hear from a Senior Adobe employee on this issue. I have about 23 years worth of FreeHand files that I continue to use/update as I go forward (and yes I am converting to Ai as I go) but I can't just sit down and go through the thousands of illustrations that I've done in that time and convert them all in one sitting! I need to know that Adobe will continue to offer the ability to 'convert as required' going forward.
14. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW May 8, 2012 10:57 PM (in response to Les ONeill)
@Les --- Well, all I can say is welcome to the "Old Club". I also have some 400k + Freehand files from over 23 years of using it. Fact is, I doubt any Senior Employee is ever going to reply here satisfactorily, and even if they did, it would boil down to, "live with (without) it".
I will say again: hope you can keep your current Mac running smoothly on OSX 10.6.8, and also keep your last version of Illustrator, whether CS5 or below.
TIP 1: you should know that you can have both the new CS6 and any older version installed at the same time on your Mac.
TIP 2: if you need to purchase a new Mac, you won't be able to "downgrade" to Snow Leopard, HOWEVER... you could virtualize Snow Leopard and/or Win7 and Freehand in Parallels 7. Google it for instructions (Hint: http://forums.macrumors.com). You "could" also Screen Share to your old Mac if it's still running.
Summary: whether we like it or not, Freehand and it's files are officially dead moving forward, and there is nothing it appears that any of us can do about it. I've been a member and donor to FreeFreehand.org for a few years. While they are currently in "moderated" talks with Adobe after filing suit against them, I seriously and realistically don't expect a positive outcome for quite a while... if sadly to say... ever.
15. Re: Opening Freehand filesLes ONeill May 9, 2012 12:42 AM (in response to DocPixel-BMW)
@Doc__ Well, I refuse to lie down and take a kickin' over this. We know they know how to implement this functionality, as the last 2 iterations of illustrator can attest to. So I think if enough of us yell long enough & loud enough maybe, just maybe they will reinstate that functionality again! (I'm endeavoring to be a glass half full kind of bloke here!).
16. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW May 9, 2012 8:05 AM (in response to Les ONeill)
@Les -- I admire your outlook... however, as I mentioned, FreeFreehand.org with a membership of some 10,000 (?) has been trying to wrangle something out of Adobe for some 3-4 years now. Technically speaking, Freehand is STILL the better vector program, even though Illustrator can "do more", it's only because Freehand has cease to be updated since 2006. For layout stuff and working with text, it is far and away still better than Illustrator CS6.
Just sayin': Illustrator CS6 by itself is 630mb, where as Freehand is only 44mb. It's amazing how much and how many logos and projects over 20 years I/we have produced with that "little" but extremely powerful program. Very sad to see it die like this.
17. Re: Opening Freehand filesLes ONeill May 9, 2012 12:44 PM (in response to DocPixel-BMW)
@Doc__But I'm not asking them to resurect FreeHand! I'm merely asking that they reinstate a functionality that I, perhaps naively, assumed would be ongoing, so that the people who emigrated from FreeHand (the 'old' country) to illustrator (the 'new world') would still have recourse to their work from a previous life!
Couldn't agree more, with all your other sentiments
18. Re: Opening Freehand filesGustavo Del Vechio May 15, 2012 9:23 AM (in response to Les ONeill)
Can anyone send me please 1 freehand document to make a test?
Thank you
19. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW May 15, 2012 11:11 PM (in response to Gustavo Del Vechio)
...OK 3 simple boxes in a simple A4 page.
BTW: you CAN open Freehand files, but they have to be saved as Freehand Editable EPS first, OR exported as legacy .ai files. But that's not the point. "Native" Freehand files with the extension .fh(xx) will not open.
Also, we often used a trick to get certain elements into Illustrator from a FH document by using "Copy Special" as "EPS" or "EPS for Photoshop 4/5". Illustrator no longer recognizes or parces the contents of the clipboard.
This is on OSX 10.6.8... may be different on a Winbox(?)
Have Fun

DocPixel-BMW, When you say 'you should know that you can have both the new CS6 and any older version installed at the same time on your Mac.', does that mean that if I upgrade to Lion (from 10.6.8) and CS6 (but keep CS5.5) that even within Lion I will be able to open Freehand files using CS5.5?
Thanks, and in hope...
22. Re: Opening Freehand filesWade_Zimmerman May 16, 2012 10:01 PM (in response to madameblossom)
I think it is surprising that in all this time Macromedia did not embrace pdf like Illustrator so that one could open the files almost anywhere/
Corel Draw as well.
23. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW May 17, 2012 12:56 AM (in response to madameblossom)
@madameblossom, Simple answer: yes. You can update to Lion, and if CS5.5 is already installed, it will be there when Lion reboots. Then install Illustrator CS6 or any other suite program.
However, in another thread, there appears to be some problems with Illustrator CS6 and some Macs, both on Lion and Snow Leopard. With that said, many people are applauding the speed of CS6 when it it's working properly.
For now I'm advising my clients not to upgrade just yet. None of the new features will appeal to them anyway (mainly 2-3 color packaging). I get paid to be the guinea pig... and have fun doing it... so no big deal. Production people hate bugs, hiccups... and most of the time their jobs as a whole... so...

Uhm... in "all this time"?
Freehand was updated last in 2003 by Macromedia, and was bought in 2005 by Adobe.
If Freehand was ever to "embrace PDF", it would have been logical that Adobe would be the one to do it "in all this time", or? But no: they decided to discontinue updating Freehand instead.
BTW: Freehand did and still does export to PDF. A somewhat large number of my clients do it close to a 100x a day. As for CorelDraw, it also exports to PDF.
And just FYI: Illustrator documents are ONLY able to be opened by other Creative Suite (CS) programs... IF... in the Save dialog, " Create PDF compatible File" is checked. Well you say, "that should always remain checked"... however, that little checkbox decides how many disk drives and backups drives you need if you have literally hundreds of 1000's of files, as I and my clients do (600k+ personally and 8mil +! at one of my packaging partners).
Example: simple box layout 16x6x24cm with one-color 240dpi image front and back, the rest text and vectors.
1) With PDF checked: 8,4mb -- full previews work in OSX and Bridge, and openable in Acrobat Pro;
2) Without PDF: 356kb -- preview is actually the icon, in both OSX and Bridge, and not openable in Acrobat Pro;
3) Freehand: 397mb -- preview full-size in OSX (Quicklook-spacebar) using 1000x1000, 75% JPG in FH prefs (user definable)... which explains the larger file size. Naturally nothing from Adobe, whether Bridge or AcroPro can open the native file.
Size difference: ~21x or over 2000% from FH to AI/PDF. That's more than 40x more hard disk capacity needed incl. 1 (one!) backup!
Tell my clients that, or tell them we could continue to use FH, but at some point we have to move to Illustrator, but with reduced efficiency (Quicklook is THE most used function of OSX around here)... or buy and build out a new server room for PDF viewing. Care to guess what the money guys answer? I'll help: "...uncheck that D*** box!!!"
NOTE: I personally like and use Bridge... but most of my clients hate it, considering it's still rather unstable and crashes often when viewing folders with lots of images, PDFs etc. Not on all Macs, but some... and that's the killer when trying to implement a team-workflow.
25. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW May 17, 2012 2:23 AM (in response to DocPixel-BMW)
@ W_Z: we've had this run in before re: FH vs. AI. I've adapted... but I can't always say that about my colleagues.
Especially when struggling with simple things in AI like selecting a stroked line (without an Outline Stroke effect)... or adjusting rounded corners (without an effect AND less control on individual corners as in FH... or easy visual identification of grouped objects... or... here it comes: Paste Inside(!)
The "niggling" thing in my colleague's and my mind every day is, "...could I be doing this project faster in Freehand?" That is the basic question and objective... and in our industry... as the managers will tell everyone... is the only thing that matters. Get it done... yesterday... and if you use pen and paper, we don't care.
I've done a simple poll over the last couple of years after the writing was on the wall re: FH's eventual death, as to what we "need" from FH in regards to an update. Here it is:
1) Better PDF compatibility and Export options with PDF 5.1 standards (how ironic!)
2) Data names and recognition of linked file names with more than 32 letters in their name or path.
3) The ability to place PSD's, compressed layered TIFs, and PDFs as linked files.
4) better font previews and font family organization (negligable, because even AI doesn't do it from the Control Bar)
5)... possibly a better drop shadow function... but not really necessary. IF we have to we open the data in AI or PS for "advanced" photo functions, and place it back in... see #2 why that would be needed... no problem.
6) better transparency and recognition of transparent layers from placed data or inside FH.
7) ... naturally, made compatible with current hardware and no need of Rosetta.
That's all. No new interface, features, functions, plugins or changes. * All of the above are less than a team of 5 and 1-year-away possible I would think.
Oh... and BTW: you can keep your Mercury engine: FH is faster at everday live preview editing than ANY of the CS programs, incl. PS-CS6. Imagine that?!
* Pardon us for dreaming.
26. Re: Opening Freehand filesvickyjs-2007 Jul 31, 2012 5:18 AM (in response to stickleback6)
Does Illustrator CS6 still open freehand files that have been saved as .ai rather than .eps? (I know each page gets saved as an individual .ai file but can live with that) The 'export' option is to save as an illustrator .7 version on my copy of freehand MX (version 11 I think)
Wondering what to do as my old macbook is falling apart, I'm still using freehand, need a new mac but can't run freehand on the new mac OS so will finally have to change to illustrator and trying to decide wether to go for CS5 or CS6 - just don't know what to do? I work for a small non profit organistion so money is a huge issue and I need to make a good choice. I somehow need to salvage the freehand work but upgrade for the future.
Any advice would be much appreciated PLEASE

28. Re: Opening Freehand filesmadameblossom Jul 31, 2012 4:57 PM (in response to vickyjs-2007)
I have Freehand v 11.0.2 and CS Illustrator 5.1, and have managed to save the Freehand file as an .ai file and it works fine. I can also open my Freehand file from within Illustrator.
As DocPixel-BMW said earlier, keep CS5.5 when upgrading to CS6 and open Freehand files with CS 5.5.
What I am wondering is whether I will be able to open Freehand files (through CS5.5) when I have upgraded my OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (I never did upgrade to Lion).
Does anybody know?
29. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW Aug 1, 2012 12:19 AM (in response to madameblossom)
You should have no problems opening FH7 - FH11 files using Mountain Lion and AI CS5.
However as before, it is still recommended that somewhere, you have a functioning Snow Leopard installation, also with FreeHand and AI-CS5 installed and working.
If you only have one computer, may I make the following suggestion(s).
Before upgrading to Mountain Lion on your current machine, purchase a 500gb or 1tb FireWire hard drive, and then "clone" your entire Mac installation drive to the new drive. Afterwards, you can boot from that drive by going to System Preferences => Startup Disk, and choosing the FW drive.
It's not a bad idea to clone your installation from time to time anyway...and not only with Time Machine. You can then easily reinstall SL, just in case Mountain Lion doesn't appeal to you. NOTE: please be sure to repair permissions using the Disk Utility BEFORE cloning(!)
It MUST be an exact bootable clone, and I suggest Carbon Copy Cloner from very good past experience. Also, don't even try booting from a USB drive: it's painfully slow(!)
When it comes to the day that you have to purchase a new Mac, where SL and the drive that you cloned will no longer run, you should look into purchasing Parallels Desktop, and a **Snow Leopard Server** installation disk. You can "virtualize" SL Server and migrate your clone drive programs to that.
** There are ways to virtualize the normal Snow Leopard client, but they are somewhat for the tech-experienced because Apple "technically" doesn't allow SL-Client to be virtualized. You may want to Google it anyway, just as an alternative
** Trying to use SL on a new Mac may ... or may not... actually work, due to missing drivers. I really can't say at the moment. I will be trying to do this shortly for a client, and I will report back my experience.
** Last but not least, you CAN still make use of your Parallels Desktop purchase if SL doesn't work, by installing Windows 7 and a purchased license of FreeHand MX (eBay). Actually, you can install as many "virtual OSes" as you like, from WinXP to Win7 to Ubuntu... and even SL "Server"... all at the same time. I have one client that runs all of those simultaneously due to being a web developer.
30. Re: Opening Freehand filesvickyjs-2007 Aug 1, 2012 3:38 AM (in response to DocPixel-BMW)
My problem is that I am actually going to have to upgrade to Illustrator CS6 not CS5! as Charity / Education versions of Illustrator are no longer available in CS5 (I have tried VERY hard to get a copy and have now given up and ordered CS6) and a full retail version of Illustrator CS5 isn't in the budget even if it would make my life a lot easier!!!
SO…I will have to save all my freehand files as individual .ai pages and just work with that.
On my version of FreeHand I can save as Illustrator 7 which gives the .ai so I am hoping that will work.
Is that the best way to save them or is there another option?
(eg. In Inkscape, Freehand files saved as .pdf files are editable but I hate inkscape and the X11 thing are there other ways of saving and opening FreeHand files in Illustrator?)
My work is pretty simple stuff compared with most (little booklets for kids, text and line drawings mostly) so I just need to keep the bare bones of drawings and layouts and if I need to re use or change stuff I can fix it as I go along.
A new macbook is on the way (I'm assured) I will be able to keep my old mac for a while whilst I switch over but eventually it will go elsewhere so I will need to make the break.

On my version of FreeHand I can save as Illustrator 7 which gives the .ai so I am hoping that will work.
Many things are quite different, and at least live Type will be shattered by crossing the AI CS line (and even later), so I hope there is another solution so that you can keep your current AI version alive.
32. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW Aug 1, 2012 7:03 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)
Not so sure what you're saying with "live type will be shattered" i.e. broken?
If what you're saying is that "sometimes" type will flow differently within a text frame... or that sometimes the text is broken up into many little pieces, those inconveniences are quite easily dealt with.
a) text flow: expand the frame and/or change the type size to (often is the case) just 0.5 smaller;
b) shattered little pieces of text: select all text pieces => copy => paste into a new text frame or on a single text line.
IF you're talking about certain styles added to text.... yes, those are fully broken and understandably don't translate.
NOTE: the busted little pieces of text problem is most often seen if you have adjusted the letter-spacing of the text in FH, or if you have properly kerned your text. Also if it is nested at least twice within groups, and then resized later. This creates problems for most programs, including all from Adobe, not just Illustrator.
33. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW Aug 1, 2012 7:04 AM (in response to vickyjs-2007)
Did you check on eBay or CraigsList? I hear that you can get used/deactivated software there. Unfortunately I'm in Europe, or I'd check for you
34. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW Aug 1, 2012 7:29 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)
One last note: the translation from FH data to Illustrator has always been tricky, and especially so if you use deeply nested groups.
That means with for example: 3 squares grouped, then grouped with a picture, then grouped again adding Text, etc. etc.
The most problems with such nested groups comes from the resizing of those groups in your FH project. When translated (opened) in illustrator, that is (mostly) when text breaks up or flows differently, and often line-widths are wrong, etc.
If you have such a problem with any FH file, it is advised to go back to FH, and ungroup everything.
It is a pain once back in Illustrator, HOWEVER... if you have the FreeHand specific (*not found in AI yet) preference checked "Remember Layers Info", and you previously had layers set up before grouping, FH will ungroup and place your objects back into those layers for easy selection once opened in AI.
* FH's "Remember Layer Info" is not the same, and is far more useful, than AI's simple "Paste Remembers Layers". You can group to your heart's content, Ungroup later, and you'll have the same multi-layer document you started with. That is if you actually "use" layers. FH was so easy to sub-select things, many people only worked on one layer. This is NOT advised in Illustrator
<added> PS. Makes ya wonder when all of the 64-bit goodness of Illustrator is going to be able to do the lowly "little things" that the woefully and worthless 16 and 32-bit FreHand could do for decades...?
35. Re: Opening Freehand filesJacob Bugge Aug 1, 2012 7:40 AM (in response to DocPixel-BMW)
I was (woollily) referring to all the different issues, and hoping that most could be avoided by keeping at least one of the lower CS versions alive, rather than downsaving to 7.
I like your suggestion of buying a used one, which may save a lot of work and agony, especially if it can live long.
36. Re: Opening Freehand filesDocPixel-BMW Aug 1, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)
I lost track of what you're replying to truthfully.
I was (woollily) referring to all the different issues, and hoping that most could be avoided by keeping at least one of the lower CS versions alive, rather than downsaving to 7.
Actually, I am suggesting keeping at least Illustrator CS4 or CS5... somewhere... if you plan or need to open Freehand documents.
If you have Snow Leopard or a SL compatible machine: keep it if you can. If it dies, check eBay for a replacement.
Tip: not only Mac Minis, but you can also look for a cheap, *busted up MBP with a broken screen, keyboard, etc. Because you can install with a BT keyboard and/or attached external monitor, and later run it "headless" as they say. Meaning: as long as it starts up, you can control the machine from your main Mac through Screen Sharing. I advise, speed-wise, that you have a "cabled Ethernet connection" between the 2 machines rather than Wifi... but that depends on your Wifi router and speeds.
* naturally it still has to work, and not been thrown from a cliff... or at someone, then hitting a wall and bouncing down 3 flights of stairs (true story!)
As for down-saving: I don't, and actually continue to save from FreeHand as normal .fh11 documents. I never found it useful to down-save, especially not as far down as AI-7(!).
NOTE: Just because Freehand is no longer available on Lion or Mountain Lion, doesn't mean that the files disappear or that you can't open them with your program of choice, *as with any document of any type for that matter.
Just in case someone doesn't know this, this will force FH documents to always open with Illy CS5
a) Mac: you can "Get Info" (Cmd-I) on any FH document type; from the "Open With" drop down, choose "Other.." if AI CS5 isn't listed, choose AI (the program, not the folder); then click "Change All" before closing the window.
b) Windows: right-click the document, choose Open With => Choose Default Program.
Summary: don't get discouraged... there will be a way to open FH docs. Just have to get "creative" sometimes
ALTHOUGH: it would be very nice of Adobe if they could include the function with CS6 at some point in the near future(!) I would like to stick being "creative" with my graphic work and tools, rather than with my tech-support.
37. Re: Opening Freehand filesJacob Bugge Aug 1, 2012 12:33 PM (in response to DocPixel-BMW)
From post #30 I was assuming that Vicki has a version (somewhat) lower than CS5, so I really believe you suggestion of buying is the best possible advice. It was the mentioning of downsaving to AI 7 in the same post that worried me and suggest a solution to avoid it.
The woolliness referred to all the issues you mentioned in post #32, shattering being a woolly way of indicating disaster and redoing of work.
I apologize for my being obscure. In the past it has earned me a Huh? every now and again.
38. Re: Opening Freehand filesvickyjs-2007 Aug 1, 2012 1:40 PM (in response to Jacob Bugge)
Ok so just to be clear I don't have any old versions of illustrator at all - only Freehand MX, I don't have spare Mac's lying around and I only get one chance at this upgrading thing and I just wondered if anyone had any simple advice.
The macbook I'm using now will go to someone else in a few months and a new macbook pro will arrive for me this month along with Illustrator CS6 which I will have to get to grips with somehow and make the best of a bad situation! I'll have a month or so to salvage what I can in whatever formats seem most useful.
My work is very simple illustration and layout for training resources, (eg. I'm not big on layers or complicated fills) and I really want to salvage illustrations which I often adapt and reuse in different forms, if text goes a bit wonky then the world won't end I'll just have to stock up on migraine tablets.
I save important stuff as PDF files anyway but I would like to save freehand stuff also in a format that I can edit and pick bits off if I need them in the future. I'm not expecting a seamless transition. I am going to make the break from Freehand this time - I should have done it 5 years ago and didn't!
Just for interest / info in Freehand MX I can export documents in these formats:
(some of these are a mystery to me!)
Illustrator 1.1,88,3,5.5 and 7
ASCII text
FreeHand 10, 8,9
Generic EPS
Mac EPS
Macromedia Flash (SWF)
Photoshop 3 EPS, 4 & 5 RGB EPS, 5
Quark EPS
RTF text
And I can save as a FreeHAnd Document, FH template or an Editable EPS

OOC: The last hoorah!
IC: [color=#008080;]Spencer breathed heavily as he slumped against the wall of the tallest building he had been able to scale. Hand clenched around his bleeding arm, Spencer gazed across the crippled New York skyline, ragged coughs wrenching from his chest as sporadic testament to the tears that had rolled down his face as New York has practically been destroyed around him.[/color]
[color=#008080;]By some miracle of fate, or perhaps a watchful eye of a kind and lightning fast stranger, Spencer had managed to survive. But he would not simply crawl in a corner and hide.[/color]
[color=#008080;]Oh no.[/color]
[color=#008080;]If this day had taught Spencer anything, it was that more than ever, the world needed people to step up to the plate, regardless of the dark opinions of it's inhabitants. People who would defend the safety and lives of the people, despite the hate they would receive for being different.[/color]
[color=#800080;]Nero gazed with a crooked smile at his slowly twitching foot. This werewolf thing was turning out to be more worth it than Nero had realized. It was nice to see something go right after so much had gone wrong. If anything, Nero was willing to take this small victory, this small voluntary twitch of his toe as a sign that brighter days were yet to come. There was just a storm to be weathered first.[/color]
[color=#800080;]"But... I think we can handle that, yeah?" Nero asked himself aloud.[/color]
[color=#800080;]Everything would work out. Nero was sure of it.[/color]
[color=#0000ff;]Adrian stared out of the window of his room in the Institute. Even now, he could still see smoke spiraling up from New York City. How terrifying that things were turning out this way, and yet and still, there was nothing he, or those at the mansion could do about it. The mutant populace was still simply too untrusted, any radical movement made at this tense time would be seen as a threat, or an act of renegade justice. A point of view that the Xavier Institute could no longer afford to be on the wrong side of.[/color]
[color=#0000ff;]As far as Adrian was concerned, those at the Institute, his home, should only focus on keeping each other safe from here on in. 'United We Stand', or so the saying goes.[/color]
[color=#ee82ee;]Dana gazed out to the side of the open road. The Dodge Charger roared down the highway, Israel at the wheel, heading off to wherever the horizon took them. He certainly was not the partner she would have asked for, but she could have done worse. The man could handle himself at the very least, and was quite street savvy, a solid counter for her more direct book smarts. [/color]
[color=#ee82ee;]Safety was all she was concerned about at this point.[/color]
[color=#b22222;]Israel, on the other hand, was not concerned with safety at all. It wasn't the first time he'd been on the run, it wouldn't be the last, and it was a lifestyle he was comfortable with. No, the only thing he was concerned with was figuring out when he would come back.[/color]
[color=#b22222;]Revenge was supposedly a dish best served cold, but Izzy was never a very patient man. And those that make Israel Cody run often tended to live to see the day when they would regret it.[/color]
[color=#808080;]Tom Summersmite shook his head as he watched the news coverage of the New York attack, comfortable in one of his various out of country getaways. Things seemed to be going sour in the states. Seemed like a good time to turn his craft internationally. When things cooled off? Well... That would be handled when it happened.[/color]
[color=#ff8c00;]Xander breathed heavily as he sat on the bus, gazing at the flyer for the Xavier Institute, before crumpling it up, and stuffing it in his duffel bag. That wasn't the place for him. To be honest, Xander had no clue what that place would be. The Hellfire Club had collapsed, Weapon X was dead, and there didn't seem to be much drawing Xander to any particular location. Wherever his place was, he would find it away from New York. Xander let his head fall back on the headrest of the seat. [/color]
[color=#ff8c00;]Being lost was no walk in the park....[/color]
[color=#ff0000;]Civilizations rise and fall. Such is life. The falling part, however, was always of interest to he who went by "Corpse". It was always during the fall that things got interesting. And it was always during the fall that the feast became so easy to come by.[/color]
[color=#ff0000;]Dragging a body along behind him as he slipped into the shadow of an alley, Corpse grinned a gruesome grin. [/color]
OOC: Alrighty. Ups, downs, lefts, rights. All were a huge part of this sometimes awesome, sometimes infuriating, sometimes terrifying, but always interesting RPG Roller Coaster. It's been wonderful imagining this world with you all. And I hope at some point, we can get together, and revisit this thing we've created, or expand to other awesome worlds and flights of fancy.
A bow out will be posted for Siegfried once a few more Avengers make their exit, and/or I understand where the Avengers currently stand.
Later days, peoples.

First, let me say that I was at the game, and the only replay I was able to see was the one they showed at the stadium. However, I thought both when I saw it live and when I saw the replays that it was a total B******* call. It didn't look like helmet to helmet to me, nor a shot to the head. I thought that Rice just got lit up on a good solid football play. If I'm wrong and there was a shot to the head then that's fine.
But if not, it absolutely pisses me off that the NFL is becoming such a pansy league. What was the safety supposed to do? Go lower, at his knees? Not hit him at all, just let him go? It's the same thing I thought about the call that went against ET on Tannehill a couple of weeks ago. It's just makes me want to puke.

About Josh Mannis
Josh creates an allegory with no moral lesson
"For all the nice weather and outdoorsiness, Los Angeles is actually a place where one can also be extremely private and reclusive."
Working in a range of media such as drawing, sculpture, clothes and video, Josh Mannis is an artist preoccupied with figuration, sociality, work, and the ethics of presentation. He was born in Boston in 1976, and received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Most recently, Mannis is fascinated by expressionist printmaking, optical art and fetish comics. Mannis's recent exhibitions were hosted in places like Thomas Solomon Gallery, Know More Games, Retrospective and Team Gallery. For his submission to Absolut Art, Mannis has created "Life Code", an allegory of education and art history.

Mali spot on for semi-finals
Soumaila Diakite was the hero for Mali after saving two penalties in their 3-1 quarter-final shootout win over hosts South Africa.
Tokelo Rantie had given South Africa the lead on 31 minutes at the Moses Mabhida Stadium before Seydou Keita equalised 12 minutes into the second period.
Neither side could create any more meaningful opportunities in the 90 minutes and following a dull 30 minutes of extra time, the game went to spot kicks. Mali converted all their penalties, while Diakite saved from Dean Furman and May Mahlangu before Lehlohonolo Majoro shot woefully wide as Gordon Igesund's side crashed out.
It was Mali who had the first shot of the game, but from 25 yards out Keita could not find the target. South Africa came back and after 12 minutes Adama Coulibaly had to block Bernard Parker's goalbound effort, with the resulting cross headed wide by Mahlangu.
Eight minutes later and Diakite was forced into his first save of the match, parrying Tokelo Rantie's effort to safety. However, he could not keep out Rantie just after the half-hour mark as he converted Thuso Phala's cross from six yards.
Mali had a decent chance to level immediately, but from the edge of the area Modibo Maiga's weak effort was easily gathered by goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune. On the stroke of half-time they had an excellent chance to level, but Keita's corner was headed wide by Molla Wague from just six yards out.
They did however get their leveller 12 minutes after the restart and it came from talisman Keita, who headed Mahamadou Samassa's cross home from close range. Full of confidence, Mali looked for a second and just after the hour mark almost took the lead with Khune again coming to the hosts' rescue, pushing Samassa's effort round the post.
It was as close as either side got in the second period, forcing the game into extra-time. Neither side showed any attacking intent and seemed happy enough for the game to go to penalties.
Siphiwe Tshabalala converted South Africa's first spot-kick, but after Cheick Diabate scored for Mali it started to fall apart for the hosts. Furman and then Mahlangu's weak efforts were saved and after Adama Tamboura and Mahamane Traore had scored for Mali it was left to Majoro to keep his side in the competition. Sadly for South Africa his effort flew way wide of the post and Mali went through.

The authorities have warned Jewish leaders to scrutinize all their mail, whether let¬ ters or bulky packages, for any suspicious content. If mail seems suspicious in any way, the authorities have advised, the recipients should set it aside unopened and call either police or postal authorities. They warned that this procedure should be followed even if the ^jn.ame.-of-.-the sender is familiar to the recipient./ Federal authorities have not said that any one Jewish-* organization or leader is earmarked to receive letter bombs but as one spokesman put it, "We're covering the field in order to safeguard all- organizations from any possible danger." The meetings with- Jewish leaders were part of an in¬ tensive campaign announced by the White House; following the spate of; letter bombs mailed to Jewish and Israeli officials in this country and abroad, one ol which killed an Israeli diplomat in London. Earlier letter bombs were postmarked Amsterdam but the most recent ones have come from Malaysia. Postal authorities in New York were checking all Hadassah mail following receipt of letter bombs from Malaysia by Mrs. Rose L.

Mrs. Halprin received the booby- trapped letter at her home in Manhattan. The one ad¬ dressed to Miss Goldberg came to the Hadassah office. Both letters were opened but in each case the explosive device inside failed to 'detonate. Mrs. Haljirin told the JTA that there was "absolutely no alarm" at the Hadassah office which has about 100 employees, mostly women. She said the office routine has not been affected.

This is a melodic track using a variety of orchestral instruments to create a quirky and colourful vibe. When drums and acoustic guitar are added the track is give a modern twist. Pizzicato strings feature heavily and are backed up by glockenspiel and marimba. This would work well as background music for a video involving children or advertising campaign.
If you are interested in using this track in your Videohive project please include a link to my track and email your project link to firstname.lastname@example.com so I can include it on my profile page.
