Gun violence is the leading cause of death among Black children and teens, according to a new report by the Children's Defense Fund, a nonprofit, child advocacy group.
The report titled, "Protect Children, Not Guns 2013," painted a grim picture of the national gun violence epidemic that is the second-leading cause of death among all children ages 1-19. Only car accidents claim the lives of more children and teenagers than guns.
According to the report, White children were nearly three times more likely to be killed in a car accident than by a gun. In stark contrast, "Black children and teens were twice as likely to be killed by a gun than to be killed in a car accident." Examining the most recent data available, the CDF study reported that 18,270 children and teens were killed or injured by guns in 2010.
"Children and teens in America are 17 times more likely to die from gun violence than their peers in other high-income countries," stated the CDF report.
Despite the claims of pro-gun advocates, having a gun in the home does not make kids safer. In some cases, those homes are even more dangerous, because guns are present.
"A gun in the home makes the likelihood of homicide three times higher, suicide three to five times higher, and accidental death four times higher," stated the report.
The CDF report continued: "More than half of youth who committed suicide with a gun obtained the gun from their home, usually a parent's gun."
In the last 50 years, White children and teenagers accounted for 53 percent of the gun deaths, and Black children and teenagers accounted for 36 percent.
Yet, looking at the gun deaths in 2010 alone, 45 percent of gun deaths and 46 percent of gun injuries were among Black children and teens, according to the report, even though they account for only 15 percent of all children and teens living in the United States. Nearly 2,700 children died from gun violence that year.
The CDF report also challenged the perceived power of the National Rifle Association, a group founded in 1871 that promotes gun ownership, marksmanship and self-defense training in the United States. According to the report, the NRA represents a small segment of all gun owners, which may show why the National Rifle Association's hard-line stance on gun control policies often contradicts that of most gun owners.
The report said that the NRA claims nearly 5 million members, but somewhere between 52 million and 68 million adults living in the United States own the roughly 310 million guns in circulation. That means that the NRA represents less than 10 percent of all adult gun owners in the United States.
In the wake of last December 14 school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and six school staff, even a majority of NRA members (74 percent) were in favor of expanded background checks, at time when NRA leadership fiercely opposed any bills that would do so.
The report offered a number of solutions to address the gun violence that children and teens face growing up in America, including universal background checks that cover sales on the Internet and at gun shows, limits on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, boycotting products that glamorize violence and "supporting non-violent conflict resolution in our homes, schools, congregations and communities."
Writing in the report, Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund (CDF), implored parents, families, friends, mentors and community stakeholders to pressure Congress to support common sense gun safety and gun violence prevention measures for the nation, including consumer safety standards for all guns, public funding for gun violence prevention research, resources and authority for law enforcement agencies to properly enforce gun laws.
"Parents, remove guns from your home and be vigilant about where your children play. Boycott products that glamorize violence," wrote Edelman.
Edelman continued: "The overwhelming majority of Americans agree we can and must do better. Polls show the vast majority of Americans, gun owners and non-gun owners, Republicans and Democrats support universal background checks as a first step to making America safer for our children and for all of us. Together we can—and must—do better right now. So many children's lives depend on it."
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will speak later this month at a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.
The White House says the speech will be delivered during the "Let Freedom Ring" ceremony on the Lincoln Memorial steps on Aug. 28. No other details were released.
Obama's speech will come 50 years to the day after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led approximately 250,000 to the National Mall in a march for jobs and freedom. King also delivered his signature "I Have a Dream" speech from the memorial steps.
The March on Washington helped pressure Congress to pass the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts in 1964 and 1965, respectively.
The Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in June. Obama has called that ruling a setback.
The "Let Freedom Ring" ceremony is being organized by the King Center in Atlanta. Plans include an interfaith service and ringing of bells at 3 p.m. to mark the time King delivered his speech on Aug. 28, 1963.

PHILADELPHIA (NNPA) – One of the primary goals of the 1963 March on Washington was finding or creating jobs for Blacks. At a panel discussion during the annual convention of the National Urban League, jobs was mentioned more frequently than any other topic as leaders discussed the famous march 50 years ago and an upcoming one planned for Saturday, Aug. 24.
Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said employers are increasingly using measures that have nothing to do with job performance that disproportionately limits the ability of African-Americans to gain employment.
"I need you to make sure that your state has a law that says very clearly that you cannot use the fact that somebody has been arrested as a reason not to employ them," she told convention delegates. "A mere arrest tells you nothing."
Sounding more like an evangelical preacher than the lawyer that she is, Arnwine drew loud applause when she said, "You need a state law that says to employers that credit checks have nothing to do with your ability to work. If your credit is bad, it's because you don't have a job. Get real."
Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network, said the private sector needs to assume a larger role in reducing Black unemployment, which stood at 12.7 percent when Obama took office and rose to 13.7 percent in June, twice the White employment rate of 6.6 percent. According to the Department of Labor Statistics, more than 2.5 million Blacks are unemployed.
"Ever since President Obama has been in, there has been an increase in jobs in the private sector, but Black unemployment has not decreased. Why? Because we work [disproportionately] in the public sector," he explained. "So while the private corporations who now don't have to deal with us because the Supreme Court is knocking down affirmative action, they are not hiring us. The public sector is being cut down with agencies and programs – we're being minimized in the public sector."
But Sharpton said Blacks have the economic leverage to force companies to hire more African-Americans.
"We need to renegotiate Black America's understanding – we called them covenants – with the private sector," he said. "The court can say all it wants about affirmative action, we have the consumer power to say to companies that do business in our communities that, 'You must have targets of doing jobs in our community.' They can't make us buy from those who won't hire us."
Jesse Jackson said that all levels of government should also be held accountable.
"In Chicago, there are 81,000 vacant lots," he stated. "They cut public housing and they foreclosed on private housing. They've cut public transportation, cut trauma care. Cut public schools. There is no present plan to bring us out of that isolation. And I think the government has some obligation."
Especially a government and nation as rich as the U.S., according to Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League.
"We've got a $15 trillion economy in the United States of America, the largest economy in the world," he stated. "And it is unacceptable – Dr. King talked about it and Whitney Young talked about it – for there to be these vast oceans of poverty amid all the plenty. So many are doing well and so many people are left behind."
He said many U.S. tax and trade policies are misguided.
"American public policy is focused on job creation," Morial said. A significant part of it is focused on job creation in the wrong places. For example, there's a huge infrastructure rebuilding program that the people of the United States are paying for. The problem is it's for the reconstruction of and rebuilding of Bagdad. It's for the reconstruction of Kandahar…Your and my tax dollars are being invested. That could be and should be redirected to Philadelphia, to Baltimore, to Boston. Secondly, United States trade and tax policies are encouraging job creation. But they are encouraging job creation in China, in India and overseas."
Closer to home, far away from Iraq and Afghanistan, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr., president and CEO of the Hip Hoop Caucus, said that unlike civil rights veterans, many youth are not eager to participate in marches.
"My generation just doesn't want to march for marching's sake," he said. "We got to march for a reason. Trayvon is one reason. Voting rights is one reason. We much push for policy."
Proving Yearwood's point, a young member of the audience gnetly questioned the value of marching.
"I'm concerned about those who are tired of marching who have never marched," Jackson said. He noted that all demonstrations were undertaken with specific goals in mind and marching is simply a means to an end.
Sharpton agreed.
"You say why march about voting?" he asked, rhetorically. "Well, that's how we got it the first time. We did not get voting rights at a cocktail sip, trying to have racial harmony sessions. We got it by organizing and galvanizing and the only way we are going to make changes is by organizing and galvanizing."
Morial said recent changes in federal student loan programs are threatening the existence of some historically Black colleges.
Recalling a recent conversation with Norman Francis, who has been president of Xavier University in New Orleans for 45 years, Morial recounted, "He said that the effect of the changes to the student loan program cost the member colleges of the United Negro College Fund $50 million."
Morial said he heard similar stories from other HBCU presidents.
"I spoke the other night to the president of Lincoln University [in Pennsylvania]. This was a stunning piece of information. He said, 'I'm going to lose half of my freshman class. They cannot come back.
"There is something deeply flawed when young people who have gone to high school, graduated from high school, gotten admitted to colleges and universities, successfully completed one year and cannot go back even if they have A's and top-level scores. They can't go back because of money."
Morial said if the Federal Reserve can lend money to banks at zero interest rates, similar accommodations need to be made to save HBCUs.
In response to a question from a convention delegate about whether there should be a national boycott of Florida, Sharpton said he would support a boycott if it were "directed, disciplined and focused." He said it should be carefully planned, saying, "You got to hurt who has hurt us."
Jesse Jackson was less nuanced.
"I would make the case that when Stevie Wonder and those artists say let's boycott Florida, boycott it," Jackson said to loud applause. "If we can boycott South Africa and bring it down, we can surely boycott Florida and bring it down."
The death of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old African American shot to death by George Zimmerman, was mentioned throughout the panel discussion as some leaders discussed how best to strike down Stand Your Ground laws, like the one in effect in Florida that imperils the lives of young Black men in particular.
"We are now right back where we were 50 years ago, where states are superseding our federal civil rights," Sharpton said. "Trayvon Martin had the civil right to go home. State law gave Zimmerman the legal right to say, 'I can move without any resistance and kill him.' The federal government must supersede that."
Jesse Jackson, quoting the first Black Supreme Court justice, added: "As Thurgood Marshall said, the law enslaved us, the law freed us, the law segregated us and now the law is leaving us unprotected."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate voted in dramatic fashion Wednesday to approve one of President Barack Obama's nominees. For Democrats to prevail, all it took was a last-ditch vote switch by one senator, a flight back from North Dakota by another and an afternoon roll call that stretched into the evening.
Five hours after the balloting started, the Senate voted to end Republican delaying tactics against B. Todd Jones, Obama's pick to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It then voted in a comparatively instantaneous 29 minutes for his final confirmation, 53-42.
A defeat would have been a setback for Obama, who is trying to plug gaps in his second-term administration's lineup, and dealt a blow to the recent cooperation between the two parties over allowing votes on the president's nominees.
The lengthy roll call and the theatrics accompanying it nearly obscured that Jones' approval marked a rare congressional victory for gun-control forces. His confirmation came three months after the Senate rejected Obama's drive to expand background checks for firearms buyers.
In a written statement, Obama applauded senators of both parties for confirming ATF's first director in seven years — gridlock, he said, caused by Senate Republicans who "put politics ahead of the agency's law enforcement mission."
Republicans have said Obama showed no urgency, waiting until November 2010 — almost two years after taking office — before naming his first nominee for the ATF, Andrew Traver, whom the Senate never acted on.
Obama nominated Jones weeks after the December massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that killed 20 first-graders and six staffers. Jones, a former Marine, has been acting ATF director since 2011.
Gun control advocates backed Jones' nomination, saying he would strengthen an agency long weakened by congressionally imposed restraints. With a national registry of gun owners forbidden by federal law, authorities face constraints when they want to trace firearms used in crimes.
For most of Wednesday afternoon, the Senate idled in neutral waiting for Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., to fly back from her home state, where aides said she had taken ill. She then cast the 60th vote needed to end a GOP procedural blockade aimed at derailing Jones' nomination.
But to get the 59th vote, Democrats earlier had to persuade Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, to switch her initial vote.
In a prolonged spectacle played out largely in full view on the Senate floor, Democratic senators swarmed around Murkowski after she at first voted to support her party's delaying tactics.
As the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and other Democrats tried persuading her to switch, Republican senators joined the group, urging her not to change. More than a dozen lawmakers spent nearly an hour imploring Murkowski, first on the Senate floor and then in a private cloakroom.
She finally emerged from cloakroom and switched her vote.
She said in a written statement that she switched her vote after learning that Jones no longer was under investigation, as opponents had said he was, for his performance as U.S. attorney for Minnesota. She later voted against his confirmation.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who was in the middle of the crowd surrounding Murkowski, said Democrats also argued that blocking a vote on Jones "would have disrupted the relative and recent comity in the Senate."
With an autumn of fights over the budget and other issues coming up, "The last thing we want to do is leave with some radioactive blowup," Klobuchar said. Congress is due to leave for a five-week summer recess this weekend.
Most Senate roll calls take about 20 minutes.
The Senate Historian's Office said that while it lacked exhaustive data on the longest-lasting Senate roll calls, the chamber's 2009 vote on Obama's economic stimulus package lasted five hours and 15 minutes. It ended when Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, returned from a family funeral in Ohio to vote.
Many congressional Republicans have been harshly critical of the ATF, especially for its fumbled Fast and Furious Operation aimed at gun-smuggling across the Southwest border. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and others have also complained that Jones' nomination should not move forward because of whistle-blower complaints against Jones involving his work as U.S. attorney for Minnesota.
Five other Republicans also voted Wednesday to end the blockade against Jones.
They included Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who came under pressure at home from gun control supporters after she opposed wider background checks in April. Ayotte, like Murkowski, voted against Jones' confirmation.
When Obama nominated Jones, he seemed to face long odds for winning approval. But the politically potent National Rifle Association said this week that it was neutral about Jones, which even critics of Jones conceded was important.
Senators had planned to vote Wednesday to confirm Samantha Power to become ambassador to the United Nations. That roll call was postponed until Thursday.

Students worked with the administration for it, and now they can have it. This fall, thanks to the efforts of Bucknell Student Government (BSG) and the university's division of student affairs, digital cable has been made available to students on campus with the launch of BU TV.
The service is known as Bucknell Television or BU TV. Offering 57 commercial television channels and 7 channels designated for international programming, the service is accessible to students in all residence hall rooms.
"The creation of BU TV would not have been possible without the combined efforts of the Bucknell administration, RHA [the Residence Hall Association] and BSG," said John Siwicki, BSG president. "Overall, students have been satisfied with their newfound cable option, utilizing the resource for everything from political coverage in this year's election to simply, an additional source of entertainment."
Special attention was paid during the selection of channels to achieve a line-up consistent with both the educational and the entertainment values of campus. BU TV includes channels for commercial television programming, news and information, educational programming, sports, movies, music, special interest programming, and five channels of international content.
Among the reasons for implementing the system are improving the climate in residence halls, providing better access to national and international news, and gaining better access to educational programming.
For more information on BU TV, go to http://www.isr.bucknell.edu/Telecommunications_and_TV/BU_TV.html.

I don't have high hopes for either, due to the general rule: Good movie = bad TV show, Bad movie = good TV show. If HBO runs True Detective in the summer, and/or FX marathons The Americans, I may watch them.

A mother and her paraplegic son were murdered on Detroit's west side more than two weeks ago. Their family is hoping someone will come forward to get whoever is responsible off the streets.
"These people are still out there. They're capable of doing the same exact thing to you and your family," said Brian Gatewood. "The people that did this, we don't know whether they were thrill killing or what, but it wasn't right."
"This happened in an area where there are a lot of people, so someone had to have seen what happened," said Kim Marshall.
71-year-old Frances Herron and her 34-year-old son, Jason, were murdered inside their home in the 15000 block of Holmur Street.
Family members said Frances was kind and loving. Jason, although confined to his wheelchair, was known as a dreamer.
"She dedicated her life to taking care of her only child," said William Harris. "Jason and his mother spent countless hours together and were inseparable."

Sunset coach Alex Shaw is a bit of a school historian.
And in addition to a fast cross-country team to run fast, knowing the school's state championship tradition is a requirement.
"Coach Shaw tests us to make sure we know how many state titles the school has won," junior Nick Diaz said. "Sometimes if we get an answer wrong, we do pushups. We know by heart how many state titles the school has won. We want to be the ones to bring home the next one."
Sunset once ruled the tennis and volleyball courts and later the soccer fields, amassing 28 state championships combined.
The Knights' boys want to bring home the first in cross-country this season.
With Diaz, one of the county's top runners and a core group that includes seniors Kenny Castro, Ronny Greenup, Roman Garcia and junior Malik Gunter returning, Sunset is already ranked in the top three in the state in Class 4A by the Florida Athletic Coaches Association preseason poll.
"We're trying to win state as an individual and as a team," Castro said. "Nick and I want to both be 1 and 2 and score really low points to bring [the championship] back to Miami."
Shaw is most proud of his team's combined grade point average of 3.45.
Diaz, a 4.5 student, recently received a letter of interest from the University of Alabama. Diaz finished fifth at state last season, but only one other runner from last season's top five is back statewide.
Castro finished seventh at state and was second in the 3,200 meters at state in track and field.
Greenup, also a baseball player, is being recruited by several schools including FIU, FAU and Florida Gulf Coast.
Gunter, a transfer from South Dade, improved his time from in five kilometers from 18 minutes to 16:30 in the offseason.
Garcia will likely be the school's valedictorian and is likely to become the squad's fifth-fastest runner.
"We've had the climb every coach wants to have," Shaw said. "We bring back the majority of the team, and we're hoping to come home from Tallahassee with some kind of hardware."
Capturing the state title in Class 4A won't be easy with Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas still a very strong obstacle.
"We know we have to work really hard to get it," Diaz said. "Our school pride has definitely helped us make a name for ourselves in cross-country."
Other contenders
Belen Jesuit is still considered the top overall program in the state, returning a veteran group that will chase the school's fourth state title in a row and seventh in eight seasons.
Avery Lopez graduated, but seniors Fabian Tomas, Michael Magoulas, Andy Fernandez, Osiel Gonzalez, Alexander Isaac and junior Ryan Rodriguez spearhead a talented Wolverines squad in Class 3A.
On the girls' side, Ferguson remains a strong contender for at least a top-three finish in Class 4A. The Falcons return a veteran group led by Katrina Santiago, Emily Hernandez, Aylwyn Hernandez, Lauren Gavulic and Stephanie De La Guarda.
One of the biggest developments in the offseason was freshman Daesha Rogers transferring from Plantation American Heritage to Jackson. Rogers has consecutive top-three finishes at state and should be a force in Class 2A.

Adrienne Bailon's nude pictures "leaked" to the public were fake! She posed for those pictures on purpose and had a friend leak them to Internet sources so she could get some much needed publicity for her career. How rude!
More pictures after the bare bum…
It seemed weird that someone who stole her computer would know to look for pictures. Because you know all criminals think to check photo drives before they chop it up and sell the pieces! She's obviously not that smart yet to Hollywood ways! She should have asked her boyfriend's sis Kim Kardashian how it all works!
Are you surprised they were a planned leak? By the way, the publicist confirmed it to a local CBS affiliate:
Jaxson confirmed what anyone with brain has surmised all along: the entire naked picture scandal was made up in order to "juice" Bailon's career.
"What better way to do that than to say that nude pictures could have been stolen from her laptop?" Jaxson asked, as if that's the only way any singer has ever made it to the top.
What ever happened to having talent?

It is important to note that the determination of fair use is subjective and is a judgement of the copyright holder. One should therefore exercise caution when contemplating use of another's work under these guidelines.

Circular 15A (Duration of Copyright) and Circular15t (Extension of Copyright Terms)
In the case of photographs, it is sometimes difficult to determine who owns the copyright and there may be little or no information about the owner on individual copies. Ownership of a "copy" of a photograph - the tangible embodiment of the "work" - is distinct from the "work" itself - the intangible intellectual property. The owner of the "work" is generally the photographer or, in certain situations, the employer of the photographer. Even if a person hires a photographer to take pictures of a wedding, for example, the photographer will own the copyright in the photographs unless the copyright in the photographs is transferred, in writing and signed by the copyright owner, to another person. The subject of the photograph generally has nothing to do with the ownership of the copyright in the photograph. If the photographer is no longer living, the rights in the photograph are determined by the photographer's will or passed as personal property by the applicable laws of intestate successions.
Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country depends on the national laws of that country. The Berne Convention provides that countries which signed the treaty grant minimum protection--a copyright duration of at least the author's life plus 50 years; moral rights; provision allowing for fair use of copyrighted works. A new section was added to the Copyright Law as part of the U.S.adherence to NAFTA and GATT which grants or restores U.S. copyright to large classes of foreign works.

In the not-too-distant future, the Sandwich School District could take on a very new look, with one school catering to elementary students in kindergarten to grade 3 and another serving middle schoolers in grades 4 through 6. This would be in addition to a STEM Academy for 7th and 8th graders inside the high school.
Currently, the district consists of three kindergarten through grade 8 schools and a high school.
The idea for the new middle school/elementary school setup was discussed for the first time in public session during a school committee budget meeting Wednesday night.
The committee, and members of the school administration and finance departments, were meeting Wednesday to discuss the second draft of the school district's budget for the coming year.
After changes equaling a slight reduction to the first draft's budget, draft two still shows a jump in costs, reflecting recent changes to the system resulting in part to the launch of the STEM Academy in the fall.
A representative from the board of selectmen and all the school principals were present for Wednesday's meeting.
In addition to budget line items of revenue and expense reports, superintendent of Sandwich Public Schools C. Richard Canfield passed out a 65-page report called Program and Staff Use Report.
Dr. Canfield also reminded everyone that producing a budget is about fairly representing the true and actual needs of the school system.
"Our job with this budget is to show what we need to run the schools and meet the needs of every student. I have been asked if I will seek an override to cover the budget but that is not for me to say," Dr. Canfield said.
The program and staff use report shows how staff is allocated at each of the schools now and which staff will be moving when the STEM Academy is launched in the fall.
Andrea M. Killion, chairman of the school committee, noticed that services provided by intervention services and special services were spread out across three schools and could possibly be consolidated to save money.
"Yes, absolutely," Dr. Canfield said. "I wasn't going to get into it now." He said Phase Two could be accomplished by moving grades K-3 and the Spinnaker Program [for autistic services], all to the Forestdale School, consolidating these services there; grades 4, 5, and 6 could all be in the Oak Ridge School; 7 and 8 in the STEM Academy; 9-12 at the high school; and the Wing School would be decommissioned and given back to the Town of Sandwich. "I recommend this as the way we should structure the schools," he said.
Currently Sandwich Public Schools runs four schools in four buildings. Dr. Canfield's Phase two recommendation would change that to running four schools in three buildings, but this may not happen for another two years.
The trick to Phase Two being able to help next year's budget is timing. The budget for next year includes all five Sandwich schools: three K-6's, the Stem Academy and high school.
"There is a possibility that Phase Two could happen earlier," said Dr. Canfield, who then made a plea to hear from any staff members who may be retiring or not wanting to come back next year.
"We do know that there are some retirements happening in the system and if there are any staff members who could tell us now if they are retiring or leaving, that would help us now, for planning purposes, and to relieve some of their colleagues' worries about having a job," Dr. Canfield said.
Staff members under contract are not required to give notice until April 1, which will not help with Phase Two of system changes or the current budget process being completed now. Staff members being asked to return for the next school year do not have to be notified until April 15.
Another cost-saving highlight during the night's discussion was to reassess the fees being charged for preschool.
Currently, families pay $100 for two full days a week, $150 for three and $200 for four full days. Dr. Canfield recommended reaching out to the Cape Cod Collaborative for a survey of what other districts charge and possibly raising these fees.
The last section of the program and staff use report covered the high school.
School committee member Nancy A. Crossman suggested that this was a good time to mention to the public that the hours of the high school will change next year and match the hours of the STEM Academy, with the day starting at 8 AM and ending at 2:30 PM. The high school day currently runs 7:30 AM to 2 PM.
"People really need to know this in order to plan ahead," Ms. Crossman said.
The budget workshop will continue next week with a third draft to be reviewed on Wednesday, The process will be televised and both previous workshops can be watched on Sandwich Community Television.
Dr. Canfield announced that all of the budget drafts and revisions will be posted on the school's website and he invited the public to review them and welcomed suggestions from the public on how the schools could best serve the community of Sandwich.

Hemp Seeds
Certified: Kosher
Hemp seeds from the hemp plant (cannabis sativa) are naturally loaded with nutritional value, boasting all of the essential amino acids and fatty acids the body needs. These whole hemp seeds arrive with their hulls and shells intact, but once you crack into them, you'll discover a huge variety of nutritional and medicinal applications.
Taste and Uses of Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds have a pleasant nutty taste and crunchy texture. Snack on the raw seeds throughout the day, toss them into salads or substitute them for nuts in your favorite baking recipes. If you're looking for an alternative to dairy milk, try blending one part
hemp seed with four parts water to mix up your own hemp milk. You can even buy whole hemp seeds to make
your own soothing skin care solution--try grinding the seeds into paste with a mortar and pestle and
mixing it with other natural skin care substances like aloe vera gel or our raw organic cacao butter.
Hemp Seeds: Our Registered Dietitian's Top Pick
Our Registered Dietitian and Health Nut loves these nutrient packed seeds! They have all essential amino acids and healthy fats, and are a great addition to salads, oatmeal, or stir fries, giving them an extra crunch. You can also grind them and add them to a smoothie.
Health Benefits of Hemp Seeds
As a dietary supplement, hemp seeds provide a hearty helping of simple proteins, a perfect balance of essential acids, and a blend of rich minerals and antioxidants.
1) Protein Powerhouse: Hemp seed is valued for being a complete protein, containing all 21 amino acids, including all 9 essential amino acids. It's important to consume essential amino acids through food because our bodies cannot produce them naturally. A single serving of hemp seeds contains 11 grams of protein. Between 1/4 and 1/3 of hemp seed by weight is pure protein, and hemp seed protein is distinctive for being amazingly easy to digest.
2) Perfect Balance of Essential Fatty Acids: Hemp seed contains an ideal balance of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids, in a proportion of 3:1. These fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body but are required to support a wide range of cellular processes in the body, including the proper function of the heart and brain. Hemp seed is an even more potent source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids than flaxseed, which is renowned as a health food staple.
3) Tons of Nutrients: Hemp seeds are also an excellent source of vitamin E, zinc, iron, and magnesium. Vitamin E and zinc are potent antioxidants that protects cells against the damaging effect of free radicals. Iron helps deliver oxygen-rich red blood cells throughout the body and magnesium plays a role in hundreds of chemical reactions in the body.
4) Heart-Healthy: A 2013 study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that hemp seed consumption could reduce elevated blood pressure in hypertensive rats. The research suggests that hemp seeds may offer benefits to prevent and treat hypertension.
Hemp Seeds Storage
It's best to keep hemp seeds refrigerated in an airtight container. If you purchase a 5-pound bag, consider putting 1 pound of the hemp seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for daily use and freezing the rest.
Birds Eat Hemp Seeds, Too
Although us humans love these seeds for their great taste and powerful nutrients, we're not the only ones in on the secret. Pour a few handfuls into your outdoor feeder or just scatter it on the lawn to see what a popular item hemp bird seed really is! You can mix it into your existing bird feed blend to attract a wider variety of species, or just put it out by itself--grosbeaks and cardinals in particular love to eat hemp seeds.*Per United States regulations, these hemp seeds have been heat sterilized*

43 U.S. Code § 492 - Operation and maintenance charges generally
In addition to the construction charge, every water-right applicant, entryman, or landowner under or upon a reclamation project shall also pay, whenever water service is available for the irrigation of his land, an operation and maintenance charge based upon the total cost of operation and maintenance of the project, or each separate unit thereof, and such charge shall be made for each acre-foot of water delivered; but each acre of irrigable land, whether irrigated or not, shall be charged with a minimum operation and maintenance charge based upon the charge for delivery of not less than one acre-foot of water. If the total amount of operation and maintenance charges and penalties collected for any one irrigation season on any project shall exceed the cost of operation and maintenance of the project during that irrigation season, the balance shall be applied to a reduction of the charge on the project for the next irrigation season, and any deficit incurred may likewise be added to the charge for the next irrigation season.

Weakness, numbness, or pain in the legs can be scary discoveries for anyone – but for those diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), it is often their normal way of life. This condition, which indicates narrowed or blocked arteries in the legs, can not only be a pain, but life threatening. Thankfully, PAD is treatable, and now there is a new method of treatment that is proving to be the most effective in history – drug eluting stents. Drug eluting stents have long been available for use in the coronary arteries (heart arteries) but now they are being used for the first time in the legs.
To learn more about this innovative treatment option, join J. King White, MD, a cardiologist with Memorial Medical Group and Heart & Vascular Center, for A Big Step: Breakthrough in Treatment of PAD, a free seminar that will be held on Thursday, August 29 at 12 noon in the Shearman Conference Center at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital on Oak Park Boulevard.

GILE, WI (WTAQ) - Folks in parts of far northern Wisconsin are digging out from another big snowstorm.
Gile, at Lake Superior in Iron County, had 9.5 inches of lake effect snow since Monday night. Other parts of the state recorded up to 4 inches.
Also, a strong low-pressure system brought cold northwest winds to the region. It was still 8-below at mid-morning in New Richmond and Osceola. Superior still had minus-5, while other parts of the state were in the single-digits above zero and the teens.
Two days of dry weather are in the forecast, with highs generally in the teens Wednesday and the 20's Thursday.
More light snow is due in Friday and early Saturday.
Ironwood Michigan, just across the border from Hurley, has already received more snow this winter than last. Almost 115 inches of snow have fallen this season in Ironwood – seven-tenths-of-an-inch more than the entire previous winter.

The first thing you notice about Wilson Betemit as he talks about his career is that there is no bitterness in his voice, no spite toward previous organizations for a perceived lack of opportunities.
No, Betemit, the 30-year-old switch-hitter the Orioles signed to a two-year deal this past offseason to be their primary designated hitter and pinch-hitter, truly seems happy to be in the game.
"It would be frustrating if I didn't play no more, and I'd be at home," said Betemit, who is with his seventh major league club in his 10th season. "But right now, the opportunity is to play baseball. I am here, and I think we have the team to win. Give it a chance."
Betemit is the classic baseball cliche, the wunderkind prospect who never lived up to the hype. He was stuck behind All-Stars when he first made the majors, couldn't seize a full-time job when given the opportunity and then, in his late 20s, was pushed aside to make room for the next wave of wunderkinds.
It's baseball's circle of life, and Betemit was stuck in it for years. Not once in nine big league seasons has he had more than 400 at-bats. Maybe it's because he doesn't have one overwhelming talent. He doesn't have eye-popping power or a glove that plays at a certain position.
"I don't know why," he said. "I just wait for the opportunity."
Betemit was such a promising shortstop prospect that the Atlanta Braves broke the rules to get him, signing him out of the Dominican Republic as a 14-year-old, roughly 18 months earlier than baseball's international rules allow. The Braves were eventually fined and banned from scouting in the country for six months. Betemit sued to get out of the contract and become a free agent but eventually stayed with the organization that signed him.
Twice, Baseball America named him the best prospect in the talent-rich Braves system, and he made his debut in 2001 at age 19, going hitless in five plate appearances.
He didn't get back to the majors until 2004, then was up for good by 2005. By then, though, he was caught in a numbers game. The Braves had Rafael Furcal at shortstop, Marcus Giles at second and likely Hall of Famer Chipper Jones at third.
"How do you break into that?" Jim Presley, the Orioles' hitting coach, said. "The guys in front of him were everyday guys."
So Betemit was pushed into a utility role, playing three positions as a highly regarded 23-year-old. Again, in retrospect, Betemit's not bitter. He thinks that situation might have saved his career.
"That helped me a lot because I learned to play other positions," said Betemit, who has three hits and two RBIs in 16 at-bats over four games this season, including an 0-for-5 performance with three strikeouts Wednesday against the New York Yankees. "And I think if you learn other positions, you can be around longer in baseball now. I think if I played shortstop only at that time, maybe I wouldn't be here. Something might have happened by now."
He could have seized the Braves' starting shortstop job in 2006 when Furcal became a free agent, but Atlanta instead traded for Edgar Renteria. Betemit became expendable and in July 2006 was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Given the opportunity to be the Dodgers' starting shortstop, Betemit faltered, with some detractors saying poor conditioning hurt his ability to play every day. He then bounced around to the Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers.
Last year, he hit .285 with eight homers, 46 RBIs and a .343 on-base percentage in 97 combined games for the Royals and Tigers. He became a free agent, and Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette saw him as a perfect fit, a veteran with a tested bat, a knack for getting on base and the ability to play just about anywhere, albeit no place particularly well.
This spring, Betemit was playing first base when a pop-up was hit in his direction. He tripped over the bag, then watched the ball clunk off his glove. After the game, Orioles manager Buck Showalter muttered, "not good," when assessing the play.
But that's not why he's in an Orioles uniform, that's not why he has stayed in the majors.
"He can play the field, but I believe his best position is batting," Duquette said in January when he announced the two-year deal worth $3.25 million. "He can get on base, he can hit, he can drive in a run. He has power. We did say we were also looking for a hitter, and I think we got a pretty good one in Betemit."
Betemit will mostly be used as a left-handed hitter against right-handed pitchers — he has batted .276 with a .346 on-base percentage in those situations in his career. But he is naturally right-handed, so Presley thinks Betemit could be used in any situation in which a key hit is needed.

BFA Fine Art Photography
The Corcoran's undergraduate Photography programs focus on the roles that lens-based media play in contemporary life. They also emphasize personal creativity, awareness of cultural context, and critical analysis.
In the 120-credit, Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Art Photography program, students receive an intensive grounding in the current concerns of photo-based art while refining their technical skills and developing their own individual styles and subject matter.
Taught by faculty who are practicing artists, the program is centered on a required core of studio courses but allows plenty of flexibility for electives so that students can tailor their studies to their interests. The curriculum encourages students to develop artistic and technical skills in cutting-edge digital photography and video technology, traditional darkroom work, or a combination.
The Photography Department's approach to photography recognizes the critical importance of the photographic image in contemporary society while establishing its historical context within the history of art. The Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism majors within the department are unique programs that influence and strengthen each other, as issues of documentary practice and subjective interpretation play out across both curricula. Both programs are committed to risk-taking, analytical thinking, and conceptual problem solving. An ongoing dialogue in joint seminar courses and critiques enhances each major's practice and energizes students and faculty in both disciplines. In addition, college-wide and departmental visiting artists, along with exhibitions in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, enrich students' experience of how photography becomes a vehicle for creative expression as well as an agent for change.
Students in the Fine Art Photography program start by gaining a thorough grounding in the history, techniques, aesthetics, practices, and critical understandings of photography. From there, they can specialize the nature of their study, spending their final year in an intensive sequence of courses devoted to preparing their thesis. The thesis is an expression of each student's individual interest and ambition as an artist. The thesis work is exhibited in the galleries of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in the annual student exhibition, NEXT at the Corcoran.

Department Life
The Corcoran's Photography Department promotes excellence in a supportive environment where students can develop their artistic and technical skills and cultivate their personal style as photographers.
Under the guidance of the department's faculty of professional artists and photojournalists, students in the Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism programs participate together in projects and events that complement the curriculum. Students can mentor peers as a Photography Department lab tech, reach out as photography and video instructors to young people in the broader Washington, D.C., community, attend lectures, view exhibitions, and work closely with visiting artists to help realize and document projects.
FotoWeek D.C.
As a major center for collecting, displaying, and studying photography and photojournalism, the Corcoran is a regular participant in FotoWeek D.C., an annual festival dedicated to the photographic arts. Since 2008, the Corcoran has participated as a sponsor of the festival and often as a site for FotoWeek lectures and exhibitions.
Visiting Artists
The Corcoran College of Art and Design's Visiting Artist program and other opportunities to connect with working artists and designers enhance the efforts of the faculty to provide a broad perspective on contemporary practice.
The Visiting Artist-in-Residence program facilitates opportunities to build relationships with professional artists and photographers through lectures, critiques, and workshops. And "Critics in the Classroom" plays a pivotal role in studio and classroom reviews, providing students with focused points of view and a direct connection to the world of a working photographer.
Recent visiting artists have included David Levinthal, Alex Prager, Donna DeCesare and Arnold Newman Distinguished Lecturers in Photography Carrie Mae Weems, Taryn Simon, and Paul Graham.

Washington » A measure of the U.S. economy's health increased in October, suggesting consumers and businesses mostly shrugged off the 16-day partial government shutdown.
The Conference Board says its index of leading indicators rose 0.2 percent in October to a reading of 97.5. It was the sixth gain in seven months and followed large gains in the previous two months.

The index is designed to signal economic conditions over the next three to six months. The steady gains point to improvement, although the index is comprised of indicators that have already been released individually.

Some of the valley's best youth soccer teams crisscrossed the state for tournaments in the last two weeks and the results – impressive.
The Scotts Valley/San Lorenzo Valley competitive travel soccer program is gaining momentum and turning out some of the top teams in some age brackets. In recent tournaments four SV/SLV teams placed in the top three against some of the toughest competition in the state:
At the Sacramento's American River Goal Rush Classic the under-12 girls Valkyrie took third place. Then at the Santa Cruz Classic, the under-19 girls Pride took first place; the under-14 boys Thunder took second place; and the under-14 girls Pride finished in third place.
With the regular fall season nearly half gone, all four of the teams are at the top of their brackets, and the strong tournament showings highlight that the local SV/SLV soccer program is making strides.
One key ingredient to the success of the club is the commitment from the players and parents.
"The Thunder is more than a soccer team," said under-14 boys Thunder Coach Ona Stewart and vice president of the SV/SLV Soccer Club. "These are all smart, athletic and focused boys who have collectively decided to commit 10 months a year on the practice field and travelling around Northern California to compete."
Stewart went on to explain that more than half the team has been together since the team's formation in 2006.
For information about the club, visit www.svslvsoccerclub.org. For more photos of the games and background on the Valkyrie visit www.valkyriesoccer.weebly.com or Thunder www.svslv-thunder.com.

The Florida Panthers are asking for too much, Broward County officials say in a 125-page analysis — but it's in the county's best interests to give the Panthers something, the report concludes.
County commissioners will begin the debate Tuesday on whether to grant the struggling professional hockey team millions of dollars more in Broward tourism taxes.
The National Hockey League team is losing millions of dollars a year and is asking for help from the county. The team's request amounts to an estimated $5.6 million a year over 14 years, for a total $78.4 million in tourist taxes, the county says. The team also wants the right to develop 22 acres of county land as a casino-resort.

Last fall Tools of the Trade got Carhartt to send me a Men's Brookville Vest to try on the jobsite. I like wearing vests because they don't restrict movement and are a great way to layer. In the spring and fall I'll wear one over a t-shirt to stay warm without overheating. In the winter I'll wear it over my fleece, as a way to layer without being so bundled I can't move—like Mikey from A Christmas Story.
The Brookeville Vest is a good layering piece. Made from nylon and polyester insulation, it is light-weight and water resistant. The chest pocket easily holds my phone and the side pockets are large enough that I can stick gloved hands in them when it's cold. There are inside pockets too, though I don't use them; one has a zipper and the other a hook and loop closure.
This vest is comfortable and functional with one exception, the large fits kind of snug. I could wear it but not over a layer; I need a little extra room in the "torso" (aka, the "gut"). I gave the vest to my framing partner, Kyle, and it worked well for him. He's tall and thin so there was room for him to layer, and it wasn't a problem that the regular vest was a little short for him because that kept if from hanging over his nail belt. Kyle would have likely gotten a tall size had he ordered it himself.
The Men's Brookville Vest is available in small to 2Xlarge and in Large/Tall sizes. It lists for $72 on the Carhartt site but I've seen it elsewhere online for as low as $56.

Hi, Deb and Sean. (And Peg.)
So you had a computerless interlude, eh, Deb? They can be real opportunities to reconnect with ourselves and the natural world. Lately, some days I stay off my computer. I don't watch TV either. I do a total disconnect and just enjoy my day. The computer and TV are so much nicer, and I don't take them for granted as I usually do, when I finally get back on. Plus there have been a few changes on the WEB and that's always nice. Your post, for instance. It has been a few days and I missed you!
I will keep you and Sean in my prayers and hope that Wednesday is a good day for you both. I hope it is finally time to move on with Sean's care. If not, it will come in its own time....
Stay happy and sweet dreams so your nights are as good as your days are. Love, C.
Cher O.

they live in a state of constant total amazement

Widow's Mite
[British Museum Catalogue of Greek Coins, Central Greece, by B. V. Head 1884]
The Eastern Locrians, sometimes called Ηοιοι, sometimes Opuntii,
after their chief town Opus, and sometimes Hypocnemidii (later Epicnemidii) from their geographical position at the foot of Mt. Cnemis,
struck no coins which can be attributed to an earlier date than about
B.C. 400, nor was it until after the peace of Antalcidas, which enacted
that all towns in European Greece και μικρας και μεγαλας αυτονομουσ ειναι
(Xen. Hell. v. 1, 3. 31) that the capital Opus began to place her own
name on the money.
The weight standard of the Locrian money is the Aeginetic, and the following are the chief types:—
After the battle of Chaeroneia, B.C. 338, it is probable that Opus, like Thebes, fell under the displeasure of Philip, and that, as in Boeotia the right of issuing silver was transferred from Thebes to the Boeotians, so also in Locris it was transferred from Opus to the Locrians collectively. The coins of the Locrians, which appear to be subsequent to the battle of Chaeroneia, resemble for the most part in their types those already described, although they are distinctly later in style, but instead of ΟΠΟΝΤΙΩΝ they bear the legends ΛΟΚΡΩΝ ΥΠΟΚ (in mon.), ΛΟΚΡ, ΛΟ, or ΛΟΚΡ ΕΠΙΚΝΑ (B. M. C., Cent. Gr., Pl. II, and Photiades Cat., 351).
1 I am inclined to think that these types were designed for the Opuntians at the Syracusan mint, and that the dies (for the first issue at any rate) were executed there. At a later period the Aetolians also appear to have had recourse to the die-engravers of Syracuse for their first gold coins. (See supra, p. 334.)
Under Macedonian rule from circa. B.C. 300 there is no reason to suppose that any coins were struck in Locris; but when Flamininus (B.C. 197) restored freedom to all the cities of Greece, Opus began once more to strike bronze coins with the old types, but reading ΟΠΟΥΝΤΙΩΝ in place of ΟΠΟΝΤΙΩΝ. This coinage came to an end in B.C. 146 (B.M.C., Cent. Gr., Pl. II. 9).
Under the empire Opus again enjoyed the right of coinage, but for a short period only, during the reigns of Galba and Otho, sometimes with magistrate's name, ЄΠΙ ΚΛΑΥ[ΔΙΟΥ] CЄΡΑΠΙΩΝΟC. On some of these coins of Imperial times are the heads of Hades and Persephone, and on the reverses a warrior (perhaps Opous) standing. For other varieties of Locrian coins see B. M. C., Cent. Gr., Pls. I and II, and Imhoof, Mon. gr., p. 148.
Scarpheia was an ancient Locrian city mentioned by Homer (Il. ii. 532).
For some others see Prokesch, Ined., 1854, Pl. II. 44, and Margaritis Cat., Pl. I. 22.
Thronium. (Leake, Northern Greece, ii. 177.)
On this coin, which is one of the earliest struck in Locris, the reverse type contains an allusion to the Cnemis range of mountains, from which the people of Eastern Locris derived their surname.
In the time of the Aetolian League, B.C. 279-168, Thronium struck bronze coins with Aetolian types.
Locri Ozolae
Amphissa, which had been destroyed by Philip of Macedon, B.C. 338, was afterwards restored and became a populous place.
Oeantheia. The only known coin of this city shows by its shape that it belongs to the time of the Aetolian league.
