To the Editor.—
Articles about the relationship between hepatitis B vaccination and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)/human T-cell leukemia (lymphotropic) virus type III infection have often appeared in The Journal. In LEADS FROM THE MMWR in the Jan 4, 1985, issue,1 evidence confirming the absence of AIDS transmission by this hepatitis B vaccine was stated to be the following: (1) The AIDS virus is specifically inactivated by the inactivation procedures used in the vaccine's manufacture. (2) The vaccine contains no detectable AIDS virus nucleic acid sequence. (3) The serologic markers of infection with AIDS virus are not observed in vaccine recipients.
In Japan, we studied Merck's Heptavax-B (lot 2374) in 74 health care workers who had no history of hepatitis B infection and determined, in addition to the safety and antigenic potential of the vaccine, the percentage of T-cell and B-cell subsets (OKT3, OKT4, and OKT8), the OKT4/OKT8 ratio,

Sweet Thursday (1954) was begun as a whimsical attempt to "convert" the characters and themes of Steinbeck's previous novel, Cannery Row (1945). The concept was initially conceived first as a dramatic vehicle (1950) and then as a musical comedy (1952), the latter project to be produced by Steinbeck's personal friend, Frank Loesser, who would also provide the melodies for the production. When the adaptation attempt failed, Steinbeck initially decided to keep the idea of writing an experimental play, and in 1953 he began in earnest on a project entitled "Bear Flag", the name of the seedy whorehouse in Monterey owned by Dora and Fauna Flood. Hollywood and Broadway producer Ernest Martin eventually encouraged …

Times Cinema salutes movie musicals with weekend morning shows
The Oscars didn't do such a great job of saluting the movie musical last weekend - what? No "Mamma Mia"? No "Hairspray"? But the Times Cinema is trying to make up for it with its own salute to musicals every weekend in March.
The Times, 5906 W. Vliet St., is showing several of the genre's most beloved offerings at 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in March, starting with maybe the best of them all - the 1952 Gene Kelly treasure "Singin' in the Rain." »Read Full Article
Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)

Milwaukee's historic house museums are offering patrons a seat at their annual fundraising event Wednesday. And, afterward — guests can take the chairs with them. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

At some point in history—and we're not sure when—mankind grew accustomed to mediocre underwear. Flimsy cotton and constant chaffing were no longer problems, but simple facts of life. Luckily, these high-performance trunks were designed to break the slump, using microfiber fabric and a host of clever upgrades to keep you dry, supported, and superbly comfortable. Don't know your size? Check out our Sizing Guide.
As someone who has to constantly hide their apt key and/or safety pin it to my boxer briefs, these are a particularly appropriate gift. Comfortable, sweat-wicking, and form-fitting. I've yet to try the horizontal port. Glad to see Birchbox hit one out of the park. A bit pricey for briefs, but worth owning a couple pairs for runs and races assuming the quality holds up over time.5

David B. Phillips, 75, of Pennsauken, wasn't just a member of the Martin Luther Chapel in Pennsauken.
His late parents, Ralph and Elsa, in the 1940s helped found the chapel, part of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
"Church was one of the important passions of his life," daughter Karen Wright said.
"He was president of the congregation at one point," she said, and at other times its treasurer and Sunday school superintendent.
On Tuesday, April 29, Mr. Phillips, who retired in 2001 as manager of the shareholder services department at Cigna, the health insurance services firm, died of heart disease at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden.

Located in St. Joseph County, Indiana, the Meow Mission is an all-volunteer nonprofit that practices and promotes Trap/Neuter/Return. Michiana faces a problem most communities face – an overpopulation of free-roaming cats. A significant amount of these cats are tame, discarded pets. Feeling compassion, many families (referred to as "colony caretakers") feed these community cats. Unfortunately, a great deal of the cats are found in low-income neighborhoods; often being cared for by the elderly and handicapped or house-bound. Without our intervention, these cats will continue to breed, overwhelming our city's residents and animal control in a never-ending cycle. With your help, we are able to assist these kind-hearted folks and offer them the financial support needed to spay and neuter our community's discarded and free-roaming cats. When needed, we can provide assistance in trapping and transporting the colony cats to the spay/neuter clinic for surgery.
The Meow Mission deeply respects our community cats' right to life. We are dedicated to advocate for the protection and humane treatment of cats. More than 3,000 healthy cats are "euthanized" annually in South Bend and Mishawaka's shelters. The World Dictionary defines euthanasia as mercy killing – the act of killing someone painlessly especially to relieve suffering from an incurable illness. We do not believe exterminating healthy animals, simply because they don't live inside a home, is "euthanasia", it is inhumane, unnecessary killing.
The Meow Mission is dedicated to educating the public on the vacuum effect – a natural phenomenon where catching and killing free-roaming cats simply allows a new influx of cats to move in and replace those that were killed. Exterminating these cats is a futile exercise; in addition to being inhumane and unnecessary, this archaic, brutal practice is costly to the community.

Kasper Akhøj Saturday 16 January 5 -7 pm
Kasper Akhøj – Welcome (To The Teknival)
Ellen de Bruijne PROJECTS proudly presents Kasper Akhøj's second solo exhibition at the gallery. For this show Akhøj will present the concluded chapter of Welcome (To The Teknival), a work in progress since 2008.
Welcome (To The Teknival) consists of photographs taken by Akhøj during four visits made throughout the different stages of the restoration of E.1027, Maison en Bord de Mer. They are based on a series of photographs by Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici, first published in a special issue of the journal L'Architecture Vivante from 1929, the year their villa in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the Côte d'Azur first stood finished.
Of je nu zonnepanelen, renovatie projecten, stripboeken, kleding, sport supplementen of bloemen verkoopt, de kans is groot dat je een website hebt. Het je er al eens aan gedacht om een Facebook pagina aan te maken? Zoals je misschien wel weet maakt bijna iedereen tegenwoordig gebruik van social media, en niet alleen voor privé doeleinden. Bedrijven gebruiken deze websites om reclame te maken, vaak gratis, zonder hier al te veel moeite voor te doen. Maak dus een pagina aan en nodig mensen uit om deze leuk te vinden. Om meer bezoekers te krijgen op je site is het belangrijk veel volgers op social media te hebben. Maak een gratis vind ik leuk knop aan en krijg zo meer volgens op je Facebook pagina. Deze mensen gaan dan je berichten leuk vinden en delen, waardoor ook hun vrienden je pagina voorbij zien komen. Deze manier van marketing is gratis en erg efficiënt.
The classical approach to restoring a historical monument is to bring it back to its state when it first stood finished. In this case however, the early modernist villa also contains five of the nine murals that Gray's friend and peer, Le Corbusier, painted there in the late 1930s without her permission. These much disputed murals play an important role as reference to the convoluted history of this site, and without their presence the house might not still exist.
The title of the work is a citation from another kind of graffiti from the 1990s, when squatters occupied the house, the wording of which mimics Grays own stenciled remarks originally set on the walls. As a first step in the restoration this graffiti was half erased by a layer of black paint. E.1027 was opened to the public in the summer of 2015.
Next to Welcome (To The Teknival) Ellen de Bruijne PROJECTS will present The Parrot's Tail by Kasper Akhøj and Tamar Guimarães.
The Parrot's Tail (2015) is a mixed media installation commissioned for the Belgian pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale. It is a fable in five parts, populated by fabulous creatures, allegorically treating the meeting between Western avant-gardes and non-Western cultures.
Kasper Akhøj (Copenhagen, 1976) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark and Trancoso, Brazil. He studied at Städelschule (Frankfurt) and at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (Copenhagen). In 2009 he was a studio fellow at the Whitney Program and in 2010 he was artist in residence at the 29th São Paulo Biennial and Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center (Istanbul). In 2011 he was Artist in Residence at ISCP (New York). In 2015 Akhøj's work was part of the exhibition at the Belgian Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale.
Recently exhibitions include MAR – Museum of Art of Rio de Janeiro (2014), the 31st Sao Paulo Biennial (2014) and the 55th Venice Biennale (2013) – the last two in collaboration with Tamar Guimarães, and together they also exhibited at Jeu de Paume Satellite (Paris) in 2012. In 2010 Akhøj had solo shows at Wiels Center for Contemporary Art (Brussels), Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, and Overgaden Center for Contemporary Art (Copenhagen).

Performance practices in a gallery context
Image: Kerstin Cmelka (with Nicolas Coster),"Song and Dance Exercise (cowboy shots)", 2015, photo series, courtesy: Kerstin Cmelka
Performance receives increasingly (renewed) attention from museums and art institutions, the all year round show by Tino Seghal at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam as an obvious example.
For some years also art fairs are embedding performance programmes as a substantial part of their fair concept. One could think of Artissima, Frieze, FIAC and Art Basel. The latter hosted in 2014 the show 14 Rooms curated by Klaus Biesenbach and Hans Ulrich Obrist, featuring 14 ongoing performances by Bruce Nauman, Allora & Calzadilla, Laura Lima, Joan Jonas, Marina Abramovic and Ed Atkins amongst others.
Performance moved from a black box to a white cube. The one time event became an ongoing exhibition or permanent installation, as Claire Bishop recently pointed out in her lecture White Cube, Black Box: Fifty shades of Grey? at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
The discussion on how to collect, document and archive performance is currently a hot topic among (collecting) institutions. While contemporary performance artists are still not much represented by galleries, it's not only the question on how to deal with the actual performance in case of selling, but also to think of what the performance consists of and how the artist relates to its performance. It also raises questions regarding the possible documentation; is it considered a separate work which functions on its own, a supportive part of the performance or mere documentation?
The two previous editions of the performance programme organised at Dolores focused on offering artists a platform for performance within a gallery context. Within this programme artists from different backgrounds where invited to present their work or to experiment or improvise with it. Next to offering a platform, the performance programme in a gallery context was part of the empowerment of this specific discipline within this context.
The third edition of the performance programme will focus on how a performance remains after it has been performed. This small presentation deals with the different forms of performance residues and ways of documenting. Artists included in this show are Kerstin Cmelka, Dina Danish, Jeremiah Day, Dora Garcia and Zhana Ivanova.
In addition to the gallery presentation, a small series of "in gallery conversations" will be organised. The conversations will focus on the practices of performance in a gallery context. Invited artists and gallerists will talk about the challenges of working with performances from the views of both professions.
Please visit the gallery website and Facebook to stay updated on the programme.

Since this year's E3, a lot of discussion has entered the stream regarding the importance of system exclusives. It is the general consensus that Microsoft is doing poorly, Sony is doing stout and Nintendo is par for course with the old faithfuls [see, all the rage about more Smash Bros.{???}]. I contend that at this point in the life cycle specifically of the 'Now Gen' systems [360/PS3] numerous new and untested exclusives is counter productive, from a business stand point. An honest look at the 1st party properties of both the 360 and PS3 really does prove out the point that their individual rosters of exclusives hasn't grown significantly since their respective system debuts.
Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance, L.B.P, InFamous, God of War, Motor Storm <-- These seven exclusive games are the staple of PS3's 1st party offering. Sure there are other titles like Yakuza, the Daxter's and the Clank's filling in the library gaps. But those seven games are the ones most likely to chart in the top 10 beyond the month they are released [barely]. You can also count on the fact that Sony will give you a semi-annualized edition of each of those 7 titles every18 months or so. There's nothing wrong with that, it's predictable [although to believe the core gamer chatter we crave new I.P. even as sale numbers don't support that].
Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Fable, Alan Wake (?), Banjo-Kazooie, Viva Pinata, Crackdown <--For Microsoft and it's Xbox 360 this set of exclusives is it's 1st party wheel house [honestly not sure about Alan Wake, I don't think they actually own that I.P.]. The 360's strategy with it's 1st party properties is vastly different than Sony's and considerably more conservative from a certain perspective. Titles that are undisputed money earners [Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable] get trotted out far more frequently than those titles that do modest returns. I think Microsoft employs this tactic because hyping 1st party games is expensive and when you cold crush [<--technical term] 3rd party entries to the market then why break your back on lower yield 1st party games every 18 months.
I think as informed enthusiast we core gamers need to step back, set aside console war rederick and understand that we won't get any true innovation in new I.P.'s until we get out of the rut that is caused by the some what flame baiting that our enthusiast press tends to do from time to time.

Wondering if anybody has any experience with eating primal in las vegas. I've been told there is a chipolte there (supposedly thats good. THey dont have that where I am from).
Any other places?
Wondering if anybody has any experience with eating primal in las vegas. I've been told there is a chipolte there (supposedly thats good. THey dont have that where I am from).
Any other places?
Quite a few Chipotle restaurants, but there just isn't much else unless you're willing to pay a bit more for the good stuff. If you're not worried about crap oils, it's a lot easier to find something that will work. Everyone else cooks with soybean oil, almost without exception.
On the bright side, more and more "egg" restaurants (Egg & I, Cracked Egg...) are popping up here and there, but they usually close around 3pm. You've got a pretty good shot at finding something that's at least gluten free there.
And many of the bars/pubs serve either their breakfast menu or their full menu 24/7, so you could get an omelette.
I just drove through Las Vegas. If the billboards can be believed, cheap steak dinners are available if you stay at some hotels.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I live in Vegas and while you may not find grass fed/organic at the restaurants, eating out can be done with minimal damage if you plan ahead. Most buffets offer a few different protein only options (think prime rib or shrimp cocktail - minus the sugary cocktail sauce) and a nice salad made to your liking, as well as seasonal fruit.
If I'm eating at a non-buffet restaurant, I always look it up on line in advance and see what menu options will work for me.
If you're eating on the run, I would look for a Subway type place. I always get a salad (spinach only for the greens) and lots of vegies with a little meat and some cheese for protein. I bring my own dressing, but if it's not an option, I ask for some of the ranch dressing from the squeeze bottle or a little oil/vinegar rather than their nasty low-cal dressing packets.
We also have a few Whole Foods locations here which have lots of great hot and cold take and go options. They are kind of spendy, but propbably cheaper than your final bill at a sit down restaurant. If you are staying on the strip, there's one relatively close at Town Square which is always a nice place to hang out and browse for shopping as well a the recent addition of the farmer's market on Fri.

Apart from the beer I drink when I'm there, I don't have too much problem staying quasi-primal.
I usually hit a buffet for late breakfast and get an omelet, bacon and other protein and fat, along with some fruit. Then, I skip lunch and have a big steak or prime rib for dinner with tons of vegetables and a salad.
I don't worry about the O6-O3 or weight issues for the few days I'm there. There are a lot of food options... It's a vacation, enjoy yourself and get back with the program when you get home.
Sadly, the days of $3 buffets are long gone. Well, maybe not entirely, but you don't want to eat at the ones that have them. Scary.
True about the steak deals in some of the casino cafes. Not great stuff, but it would work.
LMAO....last thing I'm worried about in Vegas is staying primal.
you won't have any problems. las vegas is overly accommodating with food menus (assuming you eat at good places). just tell them how you want it cooked, what ingredients you don't want, and they'll do it.

Steve McQueen, the London- born artist and filmmaker, has lived in Amsterdam since the mid-1990s. One of the Dutch capital's top tourist attractions is the house where Anne Frank lived during World War II until her hiding place was revealed and she was sent to a concentration camp. Her diary, published posthumously and adapted to stage and screen, is required reading in schools around the world.
McQueen wants the book that served as the basis of his powerful new film, 12 Years a Slave, to similarly be read by millions. Written by Solomon Northup, a free African American, a musician living with his wife in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the memoir was first published in 1853. It describes its author's nightmare odyssey: abducted, sold into slavery, a dozen years of abuse and bondage at the hands of plantation owners in Louisiana.

Comparing this company to GDT, the buy out value should be around $64.00 However, we know that how cheap the JNJ is! I think they will offer only $55.00/ share.
I'm just here watching and waiting.
STJ would have been a good short at 50+ but I have never shorted any stock ever. My good call on the drop didn't earn me a penny but saved me plenty. First of all, my IRA (90% of my trading funds) won't allow me to short. Second, I'm basically a positive person and I'm either in a stock (long) or I'm not in it at all. Good luck to you. I have no agenda except to make more money so I can start taking out of my IRA which I will be doing very soon.
It's safe to say that the buyout premium has been substantially lowered, probably because a buyout is not in the works. Why the downdraft if people were so sure of a B/O?
NOPE, ain't heard nary a thing.
Anyone heard about a possible acquisition of a company called EPMD? Supposedly to integrate with their past purchase of a mapping system called ESI
Thanks for the comments. As far as GDT, I think JNJ showed superb discipline and avoided overpaying, but this is not the forum for JNJ, so we'll have to agree to disagree.
As far as the "product mix" I was refering to the info that they disclose and what the research says regarding their products, patent expiration, etc.. Bottom line, they are under pressure and their organic growth is flat. As long as there is even a hint of suspicision that they could make an offer for SJT, SJT's stock will benefit.
At the price pps now STJ is attactive without any deals.
I won't go over product mix, I dont know, you dont know either.
My guess if JNJ makes an offer it will be high enough for STJ not to say yes
Did you not mean to say "it will be high enough for STJ not to say no?" If that's what you meant, I agree with you. I think JNJ needs STJ alot more than the other way around.
JNJ showed not much "superb deal discipline" with their stupid handling of the GDT deal. First they reduce thier original offer, then With BSX, they go above the original price they offered. So much for superb dicipline !
At the price pps now STJ is attactive without any deals.
I won't go over product mix, I dont know, you dont know either.
My guess if JNJ makes an offer it will be high enough for STJ not to say yes. JNJ I belief this time will act quickly & if an offer is made the penalty for anyone else to counter will make a counter offer prohibitive...........JNJ will not again be left at the altar
I peg the value @ $35.75 in a 2007 buyout, after STJ see's $23.50 by the end of June 2006.
I could be wrong.
yOU COULD BE CRAZY OR DUMB TOO.
I'm sure that JNJ can get it for $50 at this point, I would not hope for much more than that. So not a huge upside, but then, very little potential for down side.
My guess is a buyout offer in 2 months.
I've been hearing about a buyout ever since I stumbled into this stock and it was in the 50's. Now it'll happen in another two months??
I strongly doubt that STJ would sell for $50 to JNJ,especially when the buyback appears to be intended to get the stock back up to $45.I think somewhere in the 60's wuold be more like it.Let's face it ,they would be looking for a long -term investment.Just go back and look at the Cordis/jnj deal,they stole the co. and now Cordis turned out to be their biggest moneymaker.

Newport News Shipbuilding will recall 210 employees who lost their jobs in February because of layoffs, company President Matt Mulherin said Wednesday.
"Although we are not completely through the workload valley, this news is more positive than originally predicted, and we will continue to evaluate our planning needs throughout the year," he said in a letter to employees.
The shipyard, Virginia's largest industrial employer, cut 738 jobs in early February, most of them hourly employees. That followed a cut of 480 salaried jobs in September 2015.
This marks the second time the shipyard has restored some of the 738 jobs that were lost. In April, it recalled...

Posted on 04/11/2013 5:02:45 PM PDT by Nachum

Moreover, Obama wants us to get hit.
How else to explain that fact that he wants us to unilaterally disarm?
LOL Joe ... Thanks
His physique is similar to his white grandfather, but you're right in the picture above, his face is more puffy than usual and he looks more like Frank Marshall Davis.
Send them 50,000 dry cleaning machines and keep them busy.
"Pentagon spokesman George Little also issued a statement Thursday in response to the developments on Capitol Hill.
In todays House Armed Services Committee hearing on the Department of Defense budget, a member of the committee read an unclassified passage in a classified report on North Koreas nuclear capabilities, he said.
While I cannot speak to all the details of a report that is classified in its entirety, it would be inaccurate to suggest that the North Korean regime has fully tested, developed, or demonstrated the kinds of nuclear capabilities referenced in the passage, Little said.
The United States continues to closely monitor the North Korean nuclear program and calls upon North Korea to honor its international obligations.
In South Korea, the semi-official news agency Yonhap headlined its story on the reported DIA assessment, N. Korea knows how to miniaturize nuclear bombs, U.S. military agency says.
South Korean defense ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok also called the assessment into doubt.
North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests, but it is still doubtful that North Korea has made a small, light warhead that can be mounted on a missile, he told a briefing.
North Korea now has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles.
Yet another item that Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama can now add to his already ominous presidential legacy. Nothing like keeping us and our allies safer by allowing our sworn enemies to obtain nuclear weapons while dismantling our own missile defense systems and slashing our defense budget. But, hey, at least we can all take comfort that he's helped make our military so much more gay-friendly now and that's what really matters, right?
The Obama "presidency" is destined to go down as a s**t stain in American history.
No. The assumption was that they were working toward that goal.
But then you won't have FreeRepublic any more to post idiotic stuff like that.
I kept a BUNCH of those type of articles, papers and magazines all from 9-11. They are all in the cedar chest—with some other vintage magazines and such, some about the JFK assassination.
....and the entire NE group of 8-10 states or so (including NY, MA, NJ, PA, VA) and the cesspool state of IL, and goofball state of MN (my state unfortunately). The RATs have spread their cancerous poison & control beyond just CA, WA & OR. And don't forget Washington DC that is like 98% demTurd populated.
My thoughts exactly. Sounds like a Captain Obvious news flash.
Is Honey Boo Boo on American Idle or Dancing with the Stars?
My son has one of those stomp rocket sets. Little Kimmie Un must love the one his old man bought for him.
Just as Messrs. Obama and Hagel cut the Precision Tracking Space System completely out of the budget:
If those are nuclear tipped ICBMS then why the $#%^ aren't they smoldering craters?!
If I heard that there was a 5% chance of them being nuclear tipped. The place where they are set up would be a crater, if I had any say at all.

In the wake of a brutal sell-off, investors are rushing back to local currency emerging market debt. But this time, the bet is no longer one way
It was the first such local currency instrument sold since
the bond market re-priced spectacularly in May and June, on
expectations of tighter global liquidity.
"We were able to issue this local bond, even though the
market was in a very complicated situation," says Rodolfo
Campos, Pemex's treasurer.
The oil giant raised 10.4 billion Mexican pesos ($818
million) by selling the GDN. Investors bought the bonds, but it
was tougher than the banks running the deal had expected. The
bond was priced to yield 7.19%, as much as 40 basis points
cheaper than early indications.
Yet the deal represented the first sign of life in the

Seriously, I don't get all the Kill la Kill hype. Watched episodes 1-5 and just couldn't get into it. What's with the glowing nipples, unlikeable (except Senketsu) characters, nudist beach, skimpy porn sailor moon outfit; the whole deal reeks of a low budget otaku fetish production.
If you're really into the whole fanservice thing, I'd suggest Strike the Blood instead. Likeable characters that all play their role well, nice harem, and stunning animation/art.

Toll-bridge agencies that span state boundaries - such as the Delaware River Port Authority - operate with little federal oversight and little accountability to their tollpayers, the U.S. Government Accountability Office said in a report released Friday.
"The authorities could benefit from greater transparency in public involvement and clearer lines of external oversight," the GAO report said.
It said a federal requirement that bridge tolls be "just and reasonable" has little teeth because no federal agency has authority to enforce it. Congress repealed the authority in 1987, although the requirement remains.

Welcome to S T Organics, LLC on the web! It's very nice of you to visit!
Our Story
We were just a family owned and operated farm until 2002 when we became a Certified Organic farm. We found that one of the largest obstacles that faced farmers in our area was that there was no where they could take their certified organic grain at harvest for storage. We then got the opportunity to purchase a vacant grain elevator in 2007. After much clean up, a few minor repairs and upgrading the 45' beam scale to an above ground 70' digital certified scale we where operational for the 2007 harvest season. Since, we have added more bin storage and added an outdoor pit to unload semis. The most recent upgrade in 2013 is a 70' x 11' Rice Lake Digital Scale. The scale has a maximum load capacity of 200,000lbs.

Economic Consequences
The Economic Consequences of Mr. Bush. "The next president will have to deal with yet another crippling legacy of George W. Bush: the economy. A Nobel laureate, Joseph E. Stiglitz, sees a generation-long struggle to recoup." [Via Firedoglake.]
Covert Propaganda
Ethicsgate continues: Today, the bipartisan Government Accountability Office declared that the Bush administration broke the law by paying Armstrong Williams to write favorable columns about the No Child Left Behind Act, funneling public funds to a PR firm to sift through news stories and gauge media perception of Bush policies, and financing phony TV news reports giving the President's education policies "an A-plus," creating what the GAO called "covert propaganda." [Williams et. al. previously discussed here.]
Bush Seeks Money for Abstinence Education
Bush Seeks Money for Abstinence Education President Bush's re-election insures that more federal money will flow to abstinence education that precludes discussion of birth control, even as the administration awaits evidence that the approach gets kids to refrain from sex. Congress last weekend included more than $131 million for abstinence programs in a $388 billion spending bill, an increase of $30 million but about $100 million less than Bush requested. Meanwhile, a national evaluation of abstinence programs has been delayed, with a final report not expected until 2006.
The Thirteen Keys to the Presidency
Professor Allan Lichtman has predicted the results of the past four elections correctly using a system known as The Thirteen Keys to the Presidency.
The Keys predict election results by assessing the performance and strength of the party holding the White House. The thirteen points take into account all the factors that decide elections from the obvious (how the economy is doing) to the more subtle (whether the party in power has achieved major policy change). If eight or more of the keys favour the candidate of the incumbent party, he wins. Any fewer, he loses.
Eighteen months ago Lichtman forecast that Bush would retain the presidency. But the Republican Party now has seven keys turned against it for 2004, one more than the fatal six negative keys.

The Texas Miracle
More on the Texas Miracle
It was called the "Texas Miracle," and you may remember it because President Bush wanted everyone to know about it during his presidential campaign. It was about an approach to education that was showing amazing results, particularly in Houston, where dropout rates plunged and test scores soared. Houston School Superintendent Rod Paige was given credit for the school success, by making principals and administrators accountable for how well their students did. Once he was elected president, Mr. Bush named Paige as secretary of education. And Houston became the model for the president's "No Child Left Behind" education reform act.After yesterday's fund raising and self congratulatory orgy in Knoxville TN it seems appropriate that the record be examined more closely. No child left behind indeed.
I found no post related to the kid in Bellbrook Ohio being persecuted by his classmates, the high school Principal, and then the Secret Service for wearing a "NOT MY PRESIDENT" T-shirt. The persecution began when he drew crosshairs on the forehead. You can support irony by buying one for $13.00 at Fat Wreck Chords.---I only post it now, three days later, as I see in my weblog's referer log that it's topical enough that that's how a few people found my site.
Bush wants to turn back the schoolclock to an eduational epoch sometime before 1972. Thirty years after educational gender bias became a legislative reality, Bush has announced that he's pushing for single sex schools, offering no specific reason for this backwards waltz. But what kind of message does this send to tomorrow's graduates about equal gender opportunity? Is there really any discernable advantage in a single sex educational institution? Or is Bush possibly intimidated by the overwhelming number of female graduates that are dominating males these days?
Bush wanted to be the Education President,
Bush wanted to be the Education President, not the Terrorism President. An older piece from The Nation on Bush's high stakes standardized testing from No Child Left Behind. It's not just oil companies that have the ear of the Chief, but the textbook industry, too.
The No Child Left Behind Act
The No Child Left Behind Act is probably the most sweeping educational reform to pass in a long time and it seems to be pretty bipartisan in its content, it passed the Senate today and Bush will be signing it into law. Holy cow, have the politicians done something right for a change?
Our air and water may be polluted, but by gum, we're going to have smart kids...
Our air and water may be polluted, but by gum, we're going to have smart kids... Bush gives us the new budget, which gives money to Education and the military, but cuts back on Agriculture and the EPA. Guess we're all going to be chewing down on that synthetic corn while wearing gas masks, eh?
The Bush voucher plan
The Bush voucher plan A British opinion on the Bush education voucher plan. Is it too bold or too timid? We have read pros and cons on vouchers but this tackles the issue from a different slant.
Welcome back, state's rights.
Welcome back, state's rights. As if Dubya's comments following his "ethnic" Cabinet appointments wasn't enough retrograde logic -- roughly: if blacks and hispanics (would only?) work hard and make the right choices in life -- he's now using language that has been used to mask agendas based on race from before the Civil War through the fight against integration. And it looks like that fight ain't over, if you read "states rights" in today's context to mean the right to spend public funds on getting (primarily) white kids out of (primarily) black schools.
Janna Bush's homework
Janna Bush's homework is funny on so many levels:
- This is college-level work in Texas?
- People in Texas think that people in Harlem attend dances at the VFW?
- Dubya's daughter, having been sent to a state school to bolster dad's political image as a down-home Texan even though she could surely have legacy'd at Yale as he did (and Skull & Bones admits women now!), is getting just the sort of politically correct education that her father's cohort reviles.
Dubya is all talk, yes indeed. Did I mention that I hate my governor?

Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
Following last nights edition of IMPACT Wrestling, a fan Tweeted Hulk Hogan and stated that the Impact Zone is killing the product. Hogan said, Agreed HH tell Dixie (Carter). HH.
Hogan has been stating for a long time that TNA has to operate with a big-league budget in order to be big-league and part of that is getting out of the Impact Zone.
Perhaps Hogan could be enough persistent to convice Dixie to finally make the move of taking TNA on the road in a weekly basis.
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
What Hogan wants Hogan gets... :mark:
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
Hogan is right. The IZ was god awful last night. They have to go on the road now. It might be a risk now but it's still going to be a risk in five years. Having Impact on the road is a great way to expand the company. DO IT NOW. Impact would be so much fun if it was on the road every single week.
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
Sure, we all want TNA on the road, but we really don't know what their budget is like. I thought TNA was finally going to take this step when they started taping those double impact episodes on the road last year and whatnot, but it seems like we're right back in the IZ routine. Logically, the first step would be to take every Pay Per View on the road for a year. But first drop the PPV's to 6 or 8, just like when they had 8 on the road in 2008.
Also, we don't really know TNA's agreement with Universal Studios, and how many shows they have to hold in the IZ. I do feel like 2013 is the year that TNA will have more on the road shows than ever.
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
This is what TNA needs to do in 2013:
-Less PPVs
-More special events on Spike
-More shows on the road
-Fire Tenay and Taz
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
This topic has been discussed over and over, but the point is, that their actual concept doesn't allow to be on the road. If they do occasional shows on the road, these shows look bigger than their Pay-Per-Views in the Impact Zone. They also can't stay live and go on the road. Nobody would pay for just half of the roster and one show. Maybe they could fill venues with capacities under 1.000 people, but neither are those made for TV nor they would make any money with it.
The only way I see them going on the road successfully:
- reduce the schedule to 6 PPVs, all of them on the road
- return to tapings, tape two episodes of Impact in one night
Even that would only work, if they choose their venues with much more care than they do now.
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
You know I like to shit on the IZ every chance I get and it would be an improvement if they could do more shows on the road, but this week's show is the wrong one to blame the fans on. Maybe if they had put on something they could react to they would have.
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
Just take it up and down the east coast on I95...
Re: Hogan wants TNA out of the IZ
Stupid idea. They've been live for most of this year and their ratings have GONE DOWN. When they did the London Impacts earlier this year ratings WENT DOWN from the previous weeks (same with other touring Impacts outside of the March 2011 one, which did well because of Sting's return and Sting vs. Jeff Hardy). If they toured Impact every week they'd get shit attendance, lose millions of dollars, and ratings wouldn't go up. Hogan and Bischoff just keep making excuses like this because they're booking a mediocre product that's getting shit ratings, if they want more fans to watch come up with some new interesting ideas. TNA had about 500-600,000 more viewers in 2009 than they do now.

Judge hears fight over documents in Sullivan caseJuly 23,2013By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
A Rutland judge heard arguments today in a fight over whether an auto insurance company must turn over notes from a claim made by Christopher Sullivan following a fatal crash in the city this spring.
Prosecutors say Sullivan, a former city attorney, was drunk behind the wheel in April when 71-year-old Jane Outslay, of Mendon, was struck and killed on Strongs Avenue.
The driver in the crash fled the scene but a day later Sullivan identified himself as the driver in the crash and turned over his 2004 Lexus sedan which had heavy damage to its hood and windshield.
On the same day that Sullivan turned himself in, his wife filed a claim with GEICO insurance, according to the Vermont Attorney General's office. Prosecutors issued a subpoena for the claim but have been opposed by the insurance company which asserts that it has a duty to defend Sullivan against a potential civil lawsuit.
In Rutland criminal court today, Judge Theresa DiMauro questioned the attorney for the insurance company and an assistant attorney general on their legal arguments. DiMauro, who said she would make her decision in the future, asked the prosecution why they were interested in what the insurance company has described as notes taken from a conversation with Sullivan's wife.
In his answer, Assistant Attorney General Ultan Doyle acknowledged that prosecutors have talked to Sullivan's wife themselves. But he said the substance of her conversation with the insurance carrier could shed more light on the case.
"We'd like to see if there was other information she shared with GEICO investigators that she did not share with the state," he said.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

"For the past several years a friend who owns a very nice '70 John Deere Tractor has had a serious desire to obtain a method where by his exhaust would FLAME OUT during parades. About six weeks ago he became aware of a kit available from www.hotlicksexhaust.com which is located in Florida. My friend called the owner and they had a great conversation and the kit arrived a few days later. This has been a tremendous labor of love as we worked toward obtaining a spectacular flame. Well folks, tonight we found success. We were dancing around slapping each other on the back like school kids. Thanks Hot Licks!" -Gareth M.
