WI Raw Dairy Producers Wait for the Other Shoe to Drop; Seeking Raw Milk at Scrumptuous Wise Traditions Meals
What's going to happen next for raw milk producers in Wisconsin? That was one of the big questions being asked this weekend at the Weston A. Price Foundation's Wise Traditions conference just outside Chicago.
A number of Wisconsin farmers who have been feeling the bite of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection were at the conference, and they report a combination of pressure and politics. On the pressure side:
-At the Zinniker Family Farm, owner Petra Zinniker reports that the farm, which has been shut down for more than a month after an outbreak of illness from campylobacter among its herdshare owners, is dumping about 150 gallons of milk each day. As yet, there's been no formal report on the illness outbreak from public health officials, she says. The Zinnikers hope to be able to reopen soon based on a settlement with DATCP.
--Other Wisconsin farmers wonder who will be the next DATCP target. Wayne Craig, a raw dairy producer, thinks he's "next on the list," since the agency hasn't renewed the retail license he operates his Grassway Organics Farm Store under. He's expecting a special summary order will be filed, which would shut the store.
--Max Kane, the Wisconsin buying club owner facing a court session next month, is encouraging consumers and farmers to attend his hearing December 21. He will be holding a rally outside the courthouse in advance of when he faces a judge as to why he shouldn't be held in contempt of court for refusing to provide a list of his members to DATCP. Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures has said he'll attend, and I plan to be there as well.
The savior for Wisconsin farmers could turn out to be legislation expected to move through the state legislature beginning as soon as this week. Dan Siegmann, a Wisconsin dairy farmer, reported that legislators in both the assembly and the senate are pushing bills that would legalize the sale of raw milk by Grade A dairies. That revelation at an informal meeting Saturday at the Wise Traditions conference among Wisconsin farmers and supporters prompted concerns about whether the state's many tiny unlicensed dairies would get left out in the cold. The consensus seemed to be that it is best to confront one challenge at a time—get the legislation covering licensed dairies passed first, and then deal with unlicensed dairies.
Kristin Canty, the Massachusetts producer of a documentary about the legal problems confronting farmers and food producers, showed some segments of the upcoming film at the Wise Traditions conference. One segment included footage of one of the raids on the Pennsylvania dairy farm owned by Mark Nolt. (He has been raided three times.) The grainy video shows state police standing guard from the top steps of his farm store, while Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture agents go in and out of the store, removing thousands of dollars worth of equipment and products, while Mark Nolt is advised to stand aside. It's the first known footage from the Nolt raids.
The Wise Traditions conference had about 1,200 attendees, Weston A. Price Foundation president Sally Fallon reported. This was the tenth such conference—the first had about 75 people, and most of the speakers cancelled out, she recalled after she was presented with a special award in honor of the anniversary at the banquet dinner.
As usual, the food was wonderful. Lots of excellent meats, fresh veggies, fermented veggies, and delicious creamy desserts—a cheese cake and key lime pie that were notable for both their creaminess and crunchy crusts. One missing ingredient, though, was raw dairy. There was lots of butter and whipped cream, and it was all from a local dairy with grass-fed cows. But it was pasteurized.
From various conversations I had, it seems there was some question about whether Illinois dairies could provide enough raw milk for the large crowd, as well as concern about attracting the attention of regulators by serving raw dairy at a large hotel in a state that only allows purchase from the farm.
I was honored to speak at the banquet dinner, and I sought to take attendees "inside the mind of the regulator." I argued that the conflict over raw milk is part of a larger struggle between those who value nutrient-dense food, and those who disparage its value. I also argued that the conflict is at a turning point, and that consumers and farmers need to work aggressively to educate consumers at large about the nature of the struggle, while paying close attention to safety. I suggested they use some of the same tactics of the regulators—in particular, monitoring regulator activities by recording their enfrorcement activities with videos and tweets and Facebook posts. A good summary at The Nourishing Gourmet.
More to come from the conference...Also, this wrapup of weekend events from Kelly the Kitchencop.
I can hear the groans of agony already before I've even finished typing this post...LONG before it is read by anyone...but David's article compels me to beat my poor, bloody, dead horse once again.
"I argued that the conflict over raw milk is part of a larger struggle between those who value nutrient-dense food, and those who disparage its value."
With apologies in advance for rudeness, no, David, it is not a "...struggle between those who value nutrient-dense food and those who disparage its value."
That, along with the "dangerous" raw milk argument, are nothing more than straw-man arguments that provide cover for politicians and government bureaucrats whose sole end-game is retention of power and control of the sheep.
I'll say, yet again, any argument for raw milk in particular and nutrient dense foods in general is doomed to failure if based on science, be it a food safety study or a nutritional study. The government can always come up with yet another study here or scientific paper there that will back their side of the argument up while tearing ours down.
Ultimately, the only thing that will win for our side is a demand that the government do only what the constitution gives it the authority to do...protect our rights. Not give us rights...if they have the authority to grant rights they have the authority to take them, and the constitution disagrees with that wholeheartedly.
No...demand they protect our rights, including our right to make our own nutritional choices, and, when doing so, by phone, email, letter, or in person, remind them that we don't work for them, they work for us.
Its time to take our country back. Do we have the will, or are we sheep?

This stinks of prohibition. Depending on who you read; the increasing crime rates of the time were linked to alcohol. The thought of the day was to rid the world of booze and lower crime. It backfired- crime shot up, forcing criminals to become organized and more deadly. People still got their booze, gangsters ruled the era during and after prohibition.
If tptb truly cared about food safety, they would change to filth of factory farms/processing plants, injections of chemicals into our food chain, the contamination of the environment, etc. It seems it is the same song and dance.
tptb pander to big business. As said many times, people are slowly opening their eyes, they are making better choices. Raw dairy and healthy farming practices have a battle before them. I've no doubt they will win in the end.
"The consensus seemed to be that it is best to confront one challenge at a timeget the legislation covering licensed dairies passed first, and then deal with unlicensed dairies..."
This is totally and absolutely ass backwards, and is a slap in the face to the heart of the raw milk movement. This movement has a backbone....and it is the small unlicensed, wouldn't ever consider selling commercial for pasteurization, type of farm. The notion that they can be 'dealt with later', giving those who also feed the boilers profit margin the advantage to conduct business, is morally wrong....and I find it repugnant.
This attitude is ugly...and more attention has to be paid to the means, rather than focusing too strongly on the 'goal', and turning your back on the real substance of the movement.
Bet there weren't many small unlicensed dairymen in your 'consensus'...... (they were probably out on the farm that weekend, milking their cows).
I'm dismayed how far the raw milk movement is straying from it's core. It appears not to be a beneficial evolution. And it occurs, that it might make it more vulnerable to being swallowed up by a big Carnivore.
Milk farmer...amen.

Can you name the criminal or maybe the criminals in this video? Is it indeed the farmer {Michael Schmidt] in the straw hat leading the cows that produce the "dangerous" raw milk that is legal and OK to drink no problem BUT [the gotcha legal dirty trick used to arrest] ILLEGAL TO SELL? COMMERCE THE TRAP??? Did not James Madison state something to the effect that commerce should be made regular not limited by regulation?
Glencolton farms raid.
A 2nd AMEN to Milkfarmer.
I think the biggest danger producers and consumers of raw dairy face is the desire of many of the consumers to have a government agency( run by and on behalf of the Dairy Industry ,of course) oversee the production of raw dairy.Of course regular testing and licensing will be used to eliminate the production of raw dairy products, for public health reasons.
For anyone who thinks that bacteria respond to the microenvironment they find themselves in by adapting in order to survive,it is very hard to believe that culturing a sample of bacteria on an Agar plate in the presence of a special nutrient broth along with antibiotic does NOT induce it to mutate.The question I will always have about "pathogen" tests is:Was the "pathogen" in the original sample or was it found because the microenvironment on the plate was favorable to that specific strain of the sample bacteria?
The underlying assumption of all "pathogen" tests is that commensal bacteria will not mutate into "pathogenic" bacteria.Genetic engineers have proven that they can and do mutate,and especially so when the microenvironment is changed drastically.
Regulation and "pathogen" testing are simply the tools that the Dairy Industry will use to eliminate competition.Why should we volunteer to be under the thumb of the Industry that is opposed to our existence?
Miguel - NPR is catching up with you. A show from last week reported that gut microbes (in mice, transplanted from human feces) could not only establish themselves in the mice, but when the diet of the mice changed to high sugar and high fat, the community of microbes changed within 24 hours to favor a balance which put weight onto the mice. See http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120318757
" 'We were quite amazed that the community really restructured itself in terms of the proportional representation of different bacterial species, the proportional representation of genes with different functions, in a very short period of time," says Gordon. 'Certain members of that society of microbes became very dominant, and certain members became more diminutive.'
"And when this new collection of human microbes was transplanted into germ-free mice, the mice gained an increased amount of fat tissue even when fed low-fat diets, compared to mice that got human microbes from mice fed low-fat diets.
"That was the biggest surprise for John Mekalanos, chairman of the department of microbiology and molecular genetics at Harvard Medical School, who co-wrote a commentary that appeared with the research report. 'What it really suggests is that our biota really shape the way we respond to food,' Mekalanos says."
Their studies were, of course, focused on that favorite American obsession, weight gain. We can only hope that they will broaden their horizons and start hypothesizing and studying microbe imbalances which cause diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. Then maybe even science will "get it" that we are what we eat, and we'd better not be eating processed foods which contain preservatives which attack our gut communities and which don't contain much else that we need to survive.
Hey - how about eating foods which already have healthful balances in them?? What a great idea!!
A news story was just published in the Global Business section of the New York Times:
Raw Milk Sales Could Reinvigorate U.S. Dairy Farms
"For four generations the Gibbs family milked cattle on their farm in a fertile valley in Allamuchy Township, New Jersey. Facing dismally low milk prices, Frank Gibbs and his sons, Brant and Keith, struggled this year to continue the tradition. But a month ago, they sold off their entire herd of nearly 200 cows.
They are not the only ones. There are now fewer than 100 New Jersey dairy farms, less than a third of the number 10 years ago.
One potential solution had eluded them, because the sale of higher-priced raw, or unpasteurized, milk is illegal in their state."
*** Urgent! ***
Dairy Groups Urge Senators to Include Raw Milk Facilities in Food Safety Regulations
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Although unpasteurized, or raw, milk products pose a significant food safety hazard, facilities producing these products are not covered by any of the food safety regulations proposed so far this year by Congress. These facilities also remain exempt from existing regulations enforced by all states, which are know as the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), that set the standard for maintaining the safety of the nation's milk and milk product supply. Cheeses made from unpasteurized milk that have been aged to eliminate the risk of food borne illnesses are not considered raw milk products.
The International Dairy Foods Association and the National Milk Producers Federation have asked senators planning to mark up key food safety legislation next week to rectify this omission. In a letter to Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, and Michael Enzi (R-WY), the committee's ranking member, the dairy groups called for requiring all facilities producing raw or unpasteurized milk products for direct human consumption to register with FDA and adhere to the tried-and-true food safety requirements that are followed by all other facilities producing milk products."
I've been thinking (usually a dangerous thing, I know), and while re-reading the post a couple of weeks ago regarding the dumping of raw milk in Georgia on the order of FDA and state ag gestap...er...officials...I came up with a rather hair-brained idea.
What if a couple of us here in Georgia were to know some folks that would like to have some good, fresh South Carolina raw milk? And what if those folks ordered and paid for that raw milk in advance, to be picked up on a certain day? And what if a couple of us offered to pick up those folks already bought and paid for raw milk for them and bring it back...especially since a couple of us had to go get our own raw milk anyway?
And what if one of us made sure, by calling Walter Garrison, the Georgia Dept of Agriculture's assistant secretary, that the state knew in advance that we were going to do just that...day, time, everything.
And what if that same one of us also made sure that media knew what was going down...local newspaper, local TV, Atlanta newspaper and TV, maybe even national media (Glen Beck comes to mind)...
Shucks, we could even tell ol' Gumpert what was going on...
And what if, when we got back, one of us defied any quarantine or dumping order, told the state boys to go to h*ll, that we were going to take our legally purchased and owned milk and going home with it, and tried to drive off?
What if two of us did it?
What if more of us...a lot more...did it?
(Do you hear Arlo Guthrie tuning up for "Alice's Restaurant" in the background?)
If someone will drive I'll buy the gas...and I'll be the first one to take my milk and tell them to go to hell.
Any takers?

Wow - revelations tonight - my head hurts. Wisconsin might legalize raw milk, and the Feds want to regulate it? Is the raw milk discussion really on the table, and we're going to let them take it from us?
About legalizing raw milk sales for Grade A dairies in Wisconsin:
Wouldn't the herdshare contract sustain small farms? No gov't intervention, no sales tax, no more polemic about raw milk? Or is it naive to think they wouldn't outlaw contractual agreements?
If they unleashed Grade A dairies to run wild in retail stores, with their confined soy-fed hormone'd milk, and folks got sick, then what would happen?
Or what if nobody got sick, then what would happen? Either way, the subject of bacteria has to come up.
Maybe this raw milk polemic can simply dissolve into thin air, and we can pick up the grain-fed feedlot beef, biofuel, regional food supplies and economy issues?
What if regulators finally contemplated cellular health? Think how government would shrink and economies thrive!
Seems to me like the pavement is cracking and there's some weeds pokin through. But maybe I'm naive.
Carpe Diem,
Blair, the hopes and wishes shown in your comment are laudable, but I believe, absent a LOT more movement on government's part, I'll take Robert Novak's words to heart:

There is danger here, when conventional milk producers seek to manage all raw milk. Beware.
The profit margin of the raw stuff, combined with the processors destruction of the commercial milk market, and throw in the tough economic times, sets the stage for raw milk to be co-opted and ruined. The 'consensus' at the convention makes it even more probable.
Raw milk is different, and the more people get into it because it's 'profitable' the more problems we will have. Large commercial farming is not the best way to produce good quality raw milk...large commercial farms are the best way to 'make money'....
This attempt by 'dairy groups' is a unabashed attempt to control the raw milk market, and make it difficult for, or eliminate, the small producers.
Bob- we'll try and contact you later today
David, your book is accurately titled.
"Wouldn't the herdshare contract sustain small farms? No gov't intervention, no sales tax, no more polemic about raw milk? Or is it naive to think they wouldn't outlaw contractual agreements?"
In Wisconsin, I wish it were that simple. First, let me state that I am a Wisconsin farmshare owner, so that should give you some perspective of where I am coming from. There is a law on the books in WI that says all milk shall be pasteurized, thus, no raw milk sales by law. DATCP (the Dept. of Ag.) has the power to make exceptions to this law. Their Rule says that anyone who has a bona fide ownership interest in the company that owns the farm can purchase raw milk from that farm - thus the farmshare concept. Unfortunately, I believe the words BONA FIDE are going to trip us up. By legal definition, 'bona fide' means:
bona fide (boh-n fId or boh-n fI-dee), adj. [Latin "in good faith"] 1. Made
in good faith; without fraud or deceit. 2. Sincere; genuine. See GOOD
FAITH. -- bona fide, adv.
Without fraud or deceit. Is a $10 ownership interest in a farm legitimate or is it fraud? I.e. trying to get around the current law? DATCP will argue the latter. They have tolerated farmshares up until now, but I believe they will be tolerated no more.
<<Without fraud or deceit. Is a $10 ownership interest in a farm legitimate or is it fraud? I.e. trying to get around the current law? DATCP will argue the latter. They have tolerated farmshares up until now, but I believe they will be tolerated no more.>>
if i own a single share of stock in, say, GE i'm a bona fide owner of GE curretly GE stock is worth about $16.
a $10 interest in a business is a bona fide interest....
can our lawyer members punch any holes in this concept?
The $10 ownership interest has no expectation of profit (the milk still has to be purchased, it is not considered profit-sharing, at least in Wisconsin). Your GE stock has an expectation of profit (dividends, an increase in share price). Is that still a bona fide interest?
The real question to ask is: Isn't the State of Wisconsin guilty of "Restraint of Trade" when it colludes with a Dairy Industry made up of essentially one processor(Dean Foods) to force dairy farmers to produce milk for that processor or go out of business?Direct sales to consumers is the only alternative the farmers have.By making this illegal,the state is essentially joining Dean Foods in an attempt to enslave the farmers.
If miguel is correct, I'd like to hear an opinion from Pete, Steve, or Gary on it as RICO applies.
Bob Hayles
Every time you see an elected official or government bureaucrat, tell them:
"We don't work for you. You work for us."
milk farmer,
I think I agree with you on this one (not sure since we never seem to agree on anything). Call me a fear mongerer, but this NYT story is scary. The worst thing that could happen to raw dairies and public health, IMHO, would be to have an insurgence of people with varying degrees of experience/knowledge entering the raw milk "business" with the primary motivation: money. I am not against people making a good living, but raw milk has certain vulnerabilities...would you agree...the last thing any of us need is a catastrophic outbreak due to a rush to profit, which seems even more likely if there is an influx of struggling CAFOs going "raw"? Is it really such a good idea to dangle that $$ carrot in front of them?
Raw Milk Sales Could Reinvigorate U.S. Dairy Farms
"According to the Weston A. Price Foundation, a Washington-based advocacy group for organic foods, dairy farmers who sell unpasteurized milk directly to the customer currently command $5 to $7 per gallon.
Theres no middleman, and people are willing to pay a premium for raw milk and related products, said Sally Fallon Morell, president of the foundation. As the dairy crisis gets worse, raw is becoming more and more attractive.
Your first reaction is always to push the fear button. Finally, there's some recognition that raw milk production could offer salvation to dairy farmers failing by the dozens and hundreds every day, and you won't even give it another look.
Last month, I wrote about a feedlot operator, Ed Shank, who transitioned to an organic raw dairy operation. It wasn't easy. It took three years and a lot of hard work. But it can be done.
Here's an idea: Put those agriculture department inspectors and seat warmers who are so intent on crushing hard working raw dairy producers to work helping dairy farmers make the transition Ed Shank has made. Not every dairy farmer will be up to the challenge of so radically changing their animal raising and business models. Let the regulators help make pastures productive, rather than waste lands.

|Freda Lederer's Passover Stuffed Cabbage
From Recipes Remembered by June Hersh
Every year Freda hosts both Seders at her house with her entire extended family. She cooks everything, but is famous for her stuffed cabbage. Freda says, " This is the original recipe" she ate as a child, but notes, " I had no idea how to make it then, and I really didn't care." Lucky for us, she does now. Freda's version is clean and simple with a definite sweet and sour tug of war. She prefers using a small head of cabbage, feeling the leaves are a better size to stuff, and the head of cabbage is easier to handle.
1 small green cabbage (about 1 ½ pounds), boiled
For the filling:
For the sauce:
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Prepare the cabbage by removing the center core. Cook the whole cabbage until the leaves begin to wilt, at least 15 inutes. Carefully remove the cabbage from the water, (pierce the cabbage with a large serving fork to lift out of the water, support the cabbage underneath with a large slotted spoon.) Place the cabbage on a dish and let it cool so you can easily begin removing the outer leaves. Keep the water on a low boil, in case you need to place the cabbage back in to help loosen the inner leaves. Begin peeling the cabbage, you will need 15 to 18 leaves. Cut a small V-shape in each leaf to remove the hard white rib. Let the leaves hang out on a paper towel to help absorb any remaining water.
Prepare the filling by heating 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet, cook and stir the beef, over medium heat, until nicely browned, about 10 minutes, breaking up any large pieces. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon. Discard the liquid from the pan and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, cook and stir the onions, over medium heat, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Combine the onions and meat and let them cool for a few minutes.
While the meat mixture cools, soak the matzo in cold water, until it is soft, but not mushy; it should resemble wet cardboard. Remove from the water and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add the matzo to the meat and onions and then stir in the eggs, water, salt and pepper.
In a Dutch oven or covered pot, combine the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to a slow simmer.
To stuff the cabbage, take a generous spoonful of meat filling and place it in the cabbage leaf, use more for the larger leaves, less for the smaller. Roll the leaf to cover the meat, tuck in the sides, and then continue rolling. You should have a nice, neat package. Place the stuffed cabbage rolls in the sauce, close together, layering if necessary. Cover and cook for 1 to 1½ hours, checking occasionally to see if water needs to be added to the sauce to prevent it from drying out. Serve family style with the sauce spooned over the cabbage rolls.
Yield: Yields: 15 to 18 rolls
I found Ruth Stromer's technique for the cabbage to be unique and effective. Ruth would freeze the cabbage for several days before preparing the dish. She would then defrost the cabbage and the leaves literally fall off the cabbage head. Be sure to dry them with paper towels to prevent soggy cabbage.
I like to try different meats for the cabbage filling. Lamb has a rich flavor, try adding oregano or even chopped mint to the mixture. Ground chicken or turkey work well too. Try using a mixture of white and dark meat so the rolls have a juicy taste and moist texture.
Start to Finish: Under 2 hours
Recipes: Passover, Meat, Stuffed Cabbage, Kosher

Having been listening to the debate on the go-ahead given to free badger shooting on two pilot test sites, I have decided to sign the petition opposing the scheme.
I have listened to the general debate on the subject but what fully swung me was the pro argument where the spokesman said something along the lines that the test sites were not to determine whether destroying badgers would have an effect on cattle contracting bovine TB but whether free shooting was an ethical way of disposing of them. If anyone else wishes to sign the petition, the link is below.

Judge rules 3 percent retirement health contribution is unconstitutional
Siding with MEA members, a judge has ruled that the Legislature requiring an additional 3 percent contribution by school employees for retiree health insurance is unconstitutional.
Retired Ingham County Circuit Judge James Giddings, hearing the case, said the law passed last year took the property of public school employees without due process, violating the U.S. and Michigan Constitutions.
"We're pleased to see this decision come down on the side of public school employees and their families," said MEA President Iris K. Salters. "Even the Legislature has to follow due process of law."
It's unclear if the state will appeal the ruling, but if they do, "We will continue to fight not only this case, but all attacks on public education, school employees, students and the middle class at large," Salters said.

Kentucky Derby Weekend – Hot Babes in Hats
As we pointed out last year when we highlighted Kim Kardashian in her sexy hat, you'll definitely enjoy the sights over Derby Weekend in Louisville. Women plan their outfits all year, and they'll have several hats picked out to go along with a hot dress and heels. We love Southern women (actually, all women . . . ) and we were pleasantly surprised several years ago to see so many beautiful women all decked out for the Kentucky Derby. It was true on race day, and also the night before as everyone started partying long before Saturday afternoon. The photo above is one of our favorites as this hottie shows off the goods in a low-cut dress, and we have some more good ones after the jump. If you're heading to Kentucky for the race, take your camera and send us more pics!

Okay, okay, so, you're probably wondering, what weird Doctor Who related crap has Quatermass got under his bonnet, hmm? Well, actually, I've been thinking. I considered doing a six degrees of separation game here, and while doing it with Kevin Bacon didn't hold much appeal, I did consider, for a time, doing it with Christopher Lee, who is probably more of a central figure to the film industry than Bacon, but then, I found myself becoming sadistic.
People often say to me that Doctor Who is not at the centre of the universe. As far as the British film and television industry is concerned, I respectfully disagree, and with some effort, it can be expanded to include the rest of the English language film and television industry. Why? Because Doctor Who, despite its cheesy reputation, has managed to involve some of the best actors in Britain, and also many of the more harder working ones.
Why Tom Baker? Simple. The man himself has appeared in not only seven years of Doctor Who, but has also appeared in various other films and television shows. There is a certain saturation of him in the industry.
For an example, let's take...Harrison Ford. How do you get from Harrison Ford to Tom Baker?
Simple: Harrison Ford starred in The Empire Strikes Back, as did Julian Glover (or you could choose Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Glover appeared alongside Tom Baker in Doctor Who: City of Death.
Rules are simple: The actors involved have to have been in the same movie or television story. Whether they appear in the same scene together is irrelevant. Simple cameos are frowned upon, but if they are properly credited and so on, that's fine. Voice acting roles are fine.
Well, good luck.
I'll start off with a nice, simple one: Sean Connery.

Overzealous police are the bane of a good department. When officers are distrusted by the populace, it hurts their ability to do their job. And when they aren't reprimanded — or when crimes against the public are judged separately, or covered up — it makes it worse. Couple that with officers feeling alienated from the public, and the result is a vicious cycle that ends in over-policing and, all too often, brutality.
Elizabeth Daly was a victim of over-policing in April of 2013 in Virginia, when officers — who did not identify themselves as such — attempting to catch underage drinkers went after 20-year-old Daly and two of her friends, who locked themselves in Daly's vehicle. While the girls were locked in the SUV, one officer drew his weapon, while another jumped on top of the hood. Not knowing they were police, Elizabeth Daly fled the scene, grazing a couple of them with her car.
Apparently, she and her two friends had left a grocery store with a case of water which officers mistook for beer. Daly ended up being arrested, charged with two felonies, and spending a night in jail. The charges were later dropped. Her lawsuit against the officers was for $40 million, and she claims to have PTSD and a tremor in her hand as a result of those events.

I have a Balboa spa pack inside an Infinity hot tub.
The union to the left of the spa pack has a split nut union covering it. This leaks when the jets (three of them) are set on the highest setting. Then the water runs out of the split nut union. If the jets are on low it drips occasionally. If the pumps are not on, nothing leaks. I'm wondering if the entire union needs to be replaced, or if this might be a faulty o ring. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks, so much Mary! I sincerely appreciate your answer. I removed the split nut and the o-ring has started to deteriorate around the edges. I hear they have to be replaced every few years and this spa is a few years old.
I ordered a few new o-rings and also got the split nut just to be on the safe side.
I shut the t-valves going to the Balboa heater to take out the o-ring and the water still kept trickling (running quickly, but small amount) for a while. I think it was coming from the pump and from the heater? I'm hoping the t-valve isn't bad.
Anyway, the tub is empty now. While it was emptying, the water stopped running out of the heater. My boyfriend wants me to fill the tub again with the bad o-ring until the new part gets here (it only leaks when we put the jets on high) but I think it will be silly to change the o-ring while water is running out of the heater. I think I should leave the water out of the tub, then replace the o-ring and split nut, then fill the tub.
Which of us is right?

You're very welcome. You can still replace the heater oring with a small amount of water draining out but can be a nuisance when trying to seat the new oring. But since the spa is already drained I would just wait until you get the new part and then refill. It really is up to you.

BJ Penn Tells All: Why 145, Why Edgar III, Why TUF, Why Nova Uniao & More
On TUF:
Next week I have to head up to the Mr. Olympia; Me and Matt Hughes are doing a promotion up there. Then were going to go sit down with Dana White and Lorenzo and talk story and make sure we put everything together.
On His Drop to 145:
I look at Frankie Edgar I mean I cant say enough good things about Frankie. As an athlete, every time he shows up he brings his A-Game. It doesnt matter if he starts having a rough road in the beginning or having a rough road in the end or whatever it is, you know, I really respect how Frankie always pulls it together, he always brings his A-Game on fight night. So thats for sure; we all know Frankie Edgar does that. Number two, watching Frankies fights, I didnt get to see his second fight with Benson, but I heard Frankie did very, very well. A lot of people kept telling me that they really thought Frankie won the fight. Then, Frankie dropped down to 145 and fought Jose Aldo and did well, you know. Maybe, some people say it could have been a draw or Frankie was coming back. Arguably, nobody has really been able to do much to Frankie. Hes been hurt, hes been dropped a few times. Benson dropped him. Gray dropped him. But no-one has really been able to put him away. He has two decision wins over me, and I look at him and thats the guy I want to fight. The way it got put together, me and Dana were talking about fighting again and he asked Why do you want to fight again, man? Im like, Maybe a couple good fights and maybe see if I can earn my shot back up and maybe get a chance to redeem myself against Frankie. And at that time, of course that wasnt on anyones radar, BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar. Im sure it wasnt on Frankies. I was kind of thinking about it, of course because he beat me and I want to get another shot at him, of course, everybody always thinks like that. Theres so much stuff to think about, man. I just got off the plane, sorry I lost my train of thought. My brains just going 1,000 MPH right now with everything.
Being A Coach On TUF again:
I do feel kind of like a little bit of a rebirth type feeling, getting another opportunity like this to be on the Ultimate Fighter and going up against somebody like Frankie Edgar. It kind of reminds me of the position that I was put in with Pulver a few years ago (TUF 5) where he beat me, then I got to go on TUF and go against him and its just amazing how this all got put together. But, as far as The Ultimate Fighter show goes, were just going to have to let that work itself out. Were going to see what happens. Im sure theres going to be some fun things going on.
Being Broadcasted to the New Fox Audience:
I definitely see this as a major opportunity for myself and this is an opportunity that I shouldnt let sit by, Im real excited. Going back, I got my train of thought back as to how this got put together, Dana said he was having some problems getting the Ultimate Fighter show because they didnt know if they were going to do it at 135 or 145 and it was going back and forth. He was like, You know what? if you really want to fight Edgar, why dont you just do The Ultimate Fighter? We talked about it and then now were flying up to Vegas next week to talk to Dana about it.
If He will Go to Brazil and Train w/ Andre Pederneiras at Nova Uniao for the fight:
Yes, that will happen. Were going to Nova Uniao, Brazil and like I said, were not trying to let this slip away. And Im sure Frankie isnt either. So, Frankie knows that if BJ really wants to avenge his loss and this and that, this is BJs chance. I know Frankies coming (prepared for the fight). You know, I really do wish this fight was at 155 lbs. Nothing to do with the weight, its just I really feel that Frankie hasnt lost yet. Hes right up there, and I feel everybody says Im supposed to be the greatest at lightweight. Frankie beat me twice. Frankie never really lost yet. Pettis is the new champ, you got all these new guys coming. Well if Frankie and me are the old guys, maybe who walks out of that ring will be one of the best lightweights of all time. Were going to find out.
If He Wants to Revisit the Fight at 155:
At the end of the day, whatever makes the UFC comfortable. It might be a good thing for me, 145 might be the best thing to ever happen to BJ Penn. Well find out.
Will BJ Penn Be Making a Run At the 145 Title?:
I know its really weird for a lot of people in America to understand this, but Ive always been a loyal guy to my Jiu-Jitsu King. Ever since Jose Aldo has hit the scene and just went on an absolute tear has busted everybody up, I never had any intentions of fighting Jose Aldo. At this point, if I fight Jose Aldo who am I fighting? Im fighting Andre Pederneiras. Im fighting the man who gave me my black belt. Its just not a comfortable feeling for me. Me and Andre Pederneiras will have to sit down and talk. Jose Aldo is going to have to sit down and talk. I know Jose Aldo was just about to fight Anthony Pettis. Now, is Jose Aldo going to go up to 155 and fight Anthony Pettis or is he going to stay at 145 and defend his belt? I think with some of the decisions Aldo will make, will help me make some of my decisions myself.
On the hypothetical situation Aldo vacates the 145 title to pursue the 155 title:
If that happens, I really do consider that a possibility. If that happens, great. Ill take a crack at the 145 title. If he wants to sit there and defend, then me and Dana will sit down and talk. Really, one of the main things I want to do is just get that fight with Frankie Edgar. Maybe thats the only fight I want? Who knows? Well see what happens when we cross that river.
How He Succeeds Against Edgar This Time Around:
You know what? Anything I say right now, right here, not going to change nothing. I gotta get out there, I gotta beat Frankie Edgar I could say 1,000 things. I could say Im going to choke him, this time. Im going to take him down early. Or I improved my boxing; I can beat him in boxing now. Nothing matters. Talk is cheap, Ill see Frankie in April.
His Recollection on TUF 5 and Asking Contestants to Raise Hands to be on Team Penn, rather than Team Pulver:
Thats one thing me and Jens talked about later because me and Jens are good buddies and hes like Man, as soon as the show started BJ, you just ripped me in half! I go, Jens, I didnt mean it to go that way! I was just sitting there, looking at all the different guys and thats just the type of person I am. If you want to be on the other team, then I dont want you on my team. Thats all it was. It had nothing to do with Lets see how many other people think Im a better coach than Jens Pulver, or whatever. Thats my whole thing. You dont want to be on my team? Go to the other team.
Will he have a Different Staff This Season:
Andre Pederneiras is the first guy on the list. We want to have a lot of special guests. Were working night and day. Me and my five buddies, my coaches/training partners were trying to put together a good team that makes a lot of sense that really gives these guys what they need based off their careers. I think sometimes you could be sitting there and think Maybe I should just get this guy! Hed be great! Hed be great entertainment. But then on the other hand, its like if I bring this guy then he doesnt even help build your team at all. Or you could have had somebody more qualified for the job. Were sitting here and were trying to put everything together and its pretty tough. Its tough looking at different names, whos available, whos not and everything. Its taking some time. We really want to bring some top guys and some really high-level people so these young kids and newcomers can really can say Hey, BJ tried to bring in the best guys and give us the best training he could possibly do for us.
Does He Feel Like Hes Introducing How He was Brought Into the Game By His Coaches?:
Definitely. With Andre Pederneiras coming in, I almost feel like my job is easy now that Ive got Andre because hes the mastermind. Hes the sensei. Hes the man who made me the first foreigner to ever win in Brazil. Lets see if he can be the man to make me be the first person to finish Frankie Edgar. Were going to find out.
What Is He Looking Forward To Most During TUF?:
Honestly? Im just looking forward to finishing this season and fighting. I want to fight. Thats what Im looking forward to.

Gargoyle figurines have been used as decor for centuries. At first, they played a role as functional decorations used for scaring off supposed evil spirits and enemies of churches and castles but since then, have morphed into Gothic decor meant to act as classic decorations for home and business. That said, as with any type of decor, you can't just put a gargoyle on display and expect it to look both intimidating and incredible. The place where a gargoyle is displayed affects the nature of the decor just as much as the level of experience and imagination of the artist who made it. The best duo of places to put a gargoyle sculpture on display are:
- Next to an entranceway in the backyard: Gargoyles are sentinels and guardian statues by nature. Take advantage of those characteristics and put gargoyles just past the gate to the backyard and just outside the back door of your home. Gargoyle statues like the Florentine Gargoyle and the Boden Gargoyle Sentinel are perfect for this purpose.
- Hanging from a wall: Gargoyles are at home on the ramparts and walls of a castle, old cathedral, and your home. They like to hang out in high places to better intimidate and maybe even swoop down upon anyone who dares enter into their territory. Buy Gaston, the Climbing Gothic Gargoyle Statue to decorate the walls of your home or business with a fantastic classic climbing gargoyle.
Find these and hundreds of other high quality resin garden statues at Design Toscano today.

Developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and his team at Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, with the support of Sumagen Canada, the vaccine (SAV001-H) holds tremendous promise for success in the final phases of clinical testing now that the first hurdle has been accomplished. It is the only HIV vaccine currently under development in Canada, and one of only a few in the world.
The first human applied clinical study (SAV CT 01) using a genetically modified killed whole-virusvaccine(SAV001-H) to evaluate its safety and tolerability was initiated in March 2012. This study is a randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study of killed whole HIV-1 vaccine (SAV001-H) following intramuscular (IM) administration. Infected men and women, 18-50 years of age, have been enrolled in this study and randomized into two treatment groups to administer killed whole HIV-1 vaccine (SAV001-H) or placebo.
Sumagen announced today the patient enrollment has progressed smoothly and there have been no adverse effects observed including local reactions, signs/symptoms and laboratory toxicities after SAV001-H injection in all enrolled patients to date. With these interim results, the SAV001-H has proven safety and tolerability in humans and given Sumagen confidence for the next clinical trials to prove its immunogenicity and efficacy evaluation.
In addition, the humoral immune responses, such as HIV-1 antibody formation against SAV001-H, are currently being analyzed. The interim data showed significant increase in the HIV-1 antibody formations after SAV001-H administration compared to the base line in some patients. Even though this study is a blinded study until completion, these results are encouraging for the possibility of the prophylactic potency of SAV001-H.
With these interim results, Sumagen is confident of the safety of SAV001-H and the potency of inducing immune responses in human trials.
"We have proven that there is no safety concern of SAV001-H in human administration and we are now prepared to take the next steps towards Phase II and Phase III clinical trials," said Dr. Dong Joon Kim, a spokesperson for Sumagen Co. Ltd. "We are delighted to be one step closer to the first commercialized HIV vaccine."
In future, the company will be looking for collaboration with multi-national biopharmaceutical companies for globalizing clinical trials and commercialization.
This Phase I clinical trial (SAV CT 01) was partially funded by Industrial Research Assistant Program of National Research Council Canada since January 2012.
HIV/AIDS has killed more than 28 million people worldwide, and more than 34 million people currently live with the virus infection. Since the virus was characterized in 1983, there have been numerous trials through pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions around the world to develop vaccines; however, no vaccine has been commercialized to date.
Other HIV vaccines evaluated through human clinical trials have focused on either one specific component of HIV as an antigen, genetic vaccine using recombinant DNA, or recombinant viruses carrying the HIV genes.
Kang's vaccine is unique in that it uses a killed whole HIV-1, much like the killed whole virus vaccines for polio, influenza, rabies and hepatitis A. The HIV-1 is genetically engineered so it is non-pathogenic and can be produced in large quantities.
Through WORLDiscoveries, Western's technology transfer office, Sumagen Canada has secured patents for the SAV001 vaccine in more than 70 countries, including the U.S., the European Union, China, India and South Korea. The vaccine has been manufactured at a bio-safety level 3 (BSL3) good manufacturing practice (GMP) facility in the United States.
Located in The Stiller Centre for Technology Commercialization in Western's Research Park in London, Ontario, Sumagen Canada was established in 2008 specifically to manage and support clinical development of Kang's vaccine. Sumagen Canada is a subsidiary of Sumagen Co. Ltd., a Korean-based pharmaceutical venture company.

CLEVELAND, Ohio --- The Chicago Wolves power play came to life as they wrapped up a perfect three-game road trip with a 3-2 win over Lake Erie on Thursday night at Quicken Loans Arena.
Forwards Andrew Gordon and Jordan Schroeder delivered power-play goals while Darren Haydar added a valuable empty-net score with 1:34 left to extend Chicago's AHL Midwest Division lead to two points over Peoria.
Rookie defenseman Brad Hunt added assists on both man-advantage scores to earn his first two professional points since signing with the Wolves on March 14. Matt Climie earned 22 saves for his second win at Lake Erie in six days.
Chicago (35-24-2-3) went 2-for-3 on the man-advantage, recording multiple power-play goals for the ninth time this season and snapping 0-for-18 slump.
The Wolves opened the scoring with its first power-play strike from right wing Gordon 8:19 into the first period. Chicago defenseman Nolan Baumgartner fired a shot from the point through traffic that was first deflected off Hunt's stick and then off Gordon's stick for the team's first power-play goal in five games. The goal extended Chicago's streak of a special-teams goal to three straight games following short-handed tallies on Saturday and Sunday.
Chicago's early lead didn't last long. Lake Erie left wing Greg Mauldin evened the score 34 seconds later, driving to the net and flipping a backhander over the left leg of Climie (18-9-0).
The Wolves regained the lead midway through the second period with their second power-play goal. Schroeder used a screen by left wing Bill Sweatt and let go a blast from the left side, beating Monsters goaltender Cedrick Desjardins short side over his right shoulder for his 17th goal of the season. Steven Reinprecht also earned an assist on the play.
Haydar clinched the victory with the eventual game-winning empty-net goal from his own blueline, becoming the fourth Wolves player to earn 300 career points.
Lake Erie left wing Patrick Rissmiller, who appeared in six games for the Wolves last season, got the Monsters back within a goal with just over three seconds left, punching home the puck during a net-mouth scramble. Desjardins (12-9-3) posted 29 saves in the loss.
The Wolves return to Allstate Arena for a pair of games this weekend. They'll wear their St. Patrick's commemorative jerseys while facing the Hamilton Bulldogs at 7 p.m. Saturday and the Houston Aeros at 3 p.m. Sunday at 3 p.m. For ticket information, visit chicagowolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.
