Senate Votes to Repeal Ethanol Subsidy

39% of all corn produced in the U.S. goes to ethanol production
(Source: washingtonexaminer.com)
House to vote next
Lawmakers in Washington are working hard to write and pass laws that would have fuel efficiency standards in the U.S. changing drastically in coming years. While some in Washington support the new standards for vehicle efficiency, others oppose the standards. Along with mandating better fuel economy across a carmakers fleet, Washington is also seeing green and renewable fuel alternatives for vehicles.
In the U.S., ethanol has been added into the fuel we run in vehicles for years. Ethanol is as high as 10% in fuels today and some that are against ethanol, which is derived from corn, claim that the biofuel is increasing the price of some food items in America. A report published by the GAO claims that the use of ethanol has driven the cost of some food items up as much as 20%.
With all of Washington in cost cutting mode in an effort to shore up the federal budget lawmakers are looking at everywhere money can be saved. One place that some in the Senate want to save money is by repealing the subsidy on ethanol. The
Senate voted
Thursday 73-27 to end a $0.45 per gallon tax credit on ethanol-blended gasoline starting on July 1. According to those that support the repeal, the subsidy cost taxpayers $5.6 billion last year.
Growth Energy, and ethanol association, CEO Tom Buis said, "The Senate missed an enormous opportunity to take real action on deficit reduction and energy policy when it failed to put oil subsidies and giveaways to the same test as ethanol."
On the other side of the coin, Kate McMahon coordinator of biofuels campaigns for Friends of the Earth said, "Senators scored a win for the public and for the environment by voting to end this $6 billion giveaway." She continued saying, "[the Senate delivered a message] that the ethanol industry's days of living high off the taxpayers' hog have come to an end."
The effort to end the ethanol subsidy now goes to the House for voting. White House spokesman Jay Carney says that the Obama administration supports a reduction in the ethanol subsidy, but does not support a full repeal. Some claim that 39% of the corn produced in the U.S. is currently going into fuel tanks. With the costs to reach the
proposed 62mpg
regulations for fuel economy reaching nearly $10,000, some automakers are calling for the removal of ethanol from gasoline. Ethanol is renewable and greener than petroleum fuel, but reduces fuel economy.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

For those of you that missed it, Tesla's (TSLA) shares dropped 15% last week after reporting earnings. That promoted Barron's Bill Alpert to revisit his bearish story on Tesla. And he's wiling to give credit where credit is due. He writes:
The growth reported last week by Tesla Motors was impressive for a car company, let alone an American car maker still in its first year of volume production.
Tesla delivered 5,500 units of its sleek, all-electric Model S in the September quarter, producing revenues of $431 million—more than eight laps ahead of the $50 million achieved a year ago. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company reported profits of $16 million, or 12 cents a share (if you set aside 40 cents worth of non-cash charges and lease accounting required by generally-accepted accounting principles).
But don't think Alpert has suddenly morphed into a Tesla bull. Tesla's $16.75 billion stock-market value, or 162-times the annualized free cash flow realized in the September quarter, is still higher than he's willing to pay, even as he acknowledges that Tesla's shares have gained more than 35% since his call.
Tesla's shares have gained 4.7% to $144.43 today at 1:51 p.m., which is what they tend to do when Barron's writes about the company. General Motors (GM) has gained 0.8% to $36.95, Ford Motor (F) is little changed at $%16.84 and Toyota Motor (TM) has dropped 0.5% to $126.78.

Call me crazy, but I really like the male characters on Girls. They're cute, they're funny, and they exemplify a diversity of experience that you don't usually see on TV. Even when their characters are being jerks, I like the actors who play them. But I like them a little bit less after seeing them goof off with Uncle Terry, because every time someone gives him the "thumbs up," a little bit of his creepiness rubs off on them. I know they were shooting with him for a feature in GQ Style and it probably wasn't their choice, but ugh. Look at the pictures and see if you don't agree.

'About Alex' a look at how we communicate
Director talks real life, 'Big Chill' inspiration
In "About Alex," a group of twenty-something friends reunite for a weekend away after one of them suffers an emotional breakdown. Sound familiar?
The film is a send-up of sorts to 1980s cult-favorite "The Big Chill," a look at adult friendship and how that has evolved in the advent of social media and how we relate to each other.
Within that context, the film also gives a nod to the modern culture of seemingly being unable to describe anything, without referencing something else, while doing that itself in a very tongue-in-cheek manner.
To understand how the surprise Tribeca Film Festival hit (in limited release in theaters Friday) came together, The E.W. Scripps Company's National Desk spoke with writer and first-time feature film director Jesse Zwick and producer Adam Saunders.
What was the inspiration behind "About Alex"?
Zwick: It was a story about a group of friends that I myself made in college and the difficulty of maintaining those bonds in the 10 years that had passed. It just came to me.
The way technology allows to keep in touch better, but at the same time, these mediums don't show you what really goes on with a person. In the movie, people press pause on busy lives and are forced to spend time with each other, and see what their lives are really like.
How did the movie come about, and how did you become involved?
Zwick: It was a long process -- I've been working on the movie more or less for about 2 years. The script just sort of came to me, and it was just a thing I had to write.
I always had planned this sort of film to be this scale, and I was eager to have a script that would lend itself to this opportunity.
Adam Saunders raised the capital and I was lucky that he worked with someone untested as me, and I was lucky to have a cast that I really loved.
Saunders: I had worked with Jesse's dad (Academy Award-winning director and producer Edward Zwick) on our last movie, "Family Weekend," and he had been extremely helpful, and Ed is about as helpful and powerful a guy as there is. Ed sent me Jesse's script for "About Alex" to see what my opinion was, I read it and said "I have to produce this, please let me."
He set me up to meet with Jesse, and Jesse showed it to other producers, and I was very fortunate he picked me.
Do you have any funny behind-the-scenes stories?
Zwick: The first time I met Aubrey (Plaza, who plays Sarah in the film) it was over Skype when she was in I think Sweden, and we had a really bad internet connection.
I wasn't fully sure what to expect, and before we started shooting I got this email, and it was a picture of food on a plate, and it was from her. I didn't get it. Eventually she was like, "This is sea scallop risotto that I cooked! Since my character is a cook in the film." Just putting in that kind of effort was great -- she cooked for the cast many times during production.
Max Greenfield (Josh) and Jason Ritter (Alex) were the resident hams on set, their jokes would propel us through long nights. They had funny bits they developed- a surfer voice they would do back and forth, and read the most emotional part of the movie in that voice to each other.
When I first met Jane (Jane Levy, who plays Kate in the film), I took her and a few other other cast members down to this river. I told her I jumped in the day before, and she was like, "You can swim here?" And she jumped in the river in her dress. I knew we would get along.
Saunders: It was really kind of a summer camp kind of vibe -- nobody's cell phones worked, there was a bonding sort of thing.
We did have a very strict no-press policy on the set -- and one time Aubrey said her aunt was coming to visit. After chatting with her for a bit, it occurred to me, and I asked, "You're a reporter, aren't you?" It turned out she was, she was writing a feature on Aubrey for The New York Times. Aubrey had told her to pretend to be her aunt.
What do you think of the movie being called "The Big Chill" for millennials?
Zwick: I think most people who have enjoyed and not enjoyed (the film) have latched onto it for different reasons. My personal belief is that if you point out any movie, anything today, you can identify things it has referenced.
There are new stories, this story is similar, it moves in different directions, and and I ask different questions. I felt that one of the fun things about the movie is that to an extent these late 20-somethings may reflect broader generational ideas and views.
Saunders: We were aware of those influences, and now we've embraced it, but it wasn't initially our marketing intention.
In the same way "The Big Chill" was of its time, "About Alex" is very specific to the now.
Naming the main character Alex -- the same name as the friend who died in "The Big Chill"-- is a pretty direct homage. Are there any more subtle nods to that film that a viewer might not pick up on immediately? A few I caught were the dog they talked about naming Jeff Goldblum -- and of course Siri stretching, and the younger girlfriend.
Saunders: Thematic chess pieces are similar. There's a self-awareness- that's what people do, is reference things within a certain context. This movie was symbolically saying that, while also being an independent cultural observation.
What's next on your plate?
Zwick: I'm back writing on "Parenthood" -- NBC invited me back to write for the last season. I'm also developing a couple of features, including a modern love story, that's steeped in a certain amount of technology.
Saunders: I hope there will be a lot of opportunities to cross over, and we are definitely talking about continuing our partnership and working as we move forward.
Jesse is an incredibly, incredibly talented guy with a difficult task, directing his first feature, he was absolutely extraordinary, he took control of the set, and was clear about what he was looking for.
I hope to work with him again, and I'd feel lucky to do so.
"About Alex" is in limited release in theaters, and available on iTunes and cable and satellite On Demand August 8.

Rare and fragile aerial photos of Britain have been salvaged, conserved and now published online.
More than 15,000 images from one of the earliest and most significant collections of aerial photography of the UK have been made freely accessible online to the public for the first time.
Britain from Above, a new website which launched today features some of the oldest and most valuable images of the Aerofilms Collection.
Click here or on "View Gallery" for more pictures
English Heritage and the Royal Commissions on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Wales joined forces to publish this selection from the archive of more than 1m aerial photographs.
The photographs date from 1919 to 1953 and document the face of Britain during a period of intense and unparalleled change.
Restorers have gone through a painstaking process of conservation and cataloguing. Due to their age and fragility, many of the earliest plate glass negatives were close to being lost forever.
Examples include aerials of the 1935 FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium; the Thames Flood of 1947 in which over 100,000 properties were affected; Blackpool in 1920; crowds on the banks of the River Clyde watching the first voyage of the newly-built RMS Queen Mary in 1936.
They also capture the famous Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, host of the 2014 Ryder Cup, pictured in 1932; the historic stadium Cardiff Arms Park in 1932; and a scene of Rhondda Fawr, one of the largest mining valleys in southern Wales.
The Aerofilms Collection was acquired for the nation in 2007 when the company was facing financial difficulties.Reuse content

This dark, moist chocolate cake tastes like it took hours to make, but it's ready in just about an hour. Raid the Easter baskets for the cute chocolate bunny decorations.
Once the cake is cool enough to tip out of the pan, speed the cooling process by placing it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
To get that beautiful icing drizzle, make sure you test your icing for the perfect consistency by placing a small spoonful on top of the cake, then waiting to see if it will gently flow down the side of the cake after a minute or so. If it stays on top of the cake, thin the icing slightly with a bit of milk. If it runs down the sides of the cake in puddles at the bottom of your plate, add powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the icing mixture to thicken it up.
Allow your icing to set for 15 to 20 minutes before adding the decorations. This will help them stay in place.

Violence on Bettys Lane has residents upset
Massive fight happened in neighborhood last Friday
MADISON, Wis. - The violence near Bettys Lane on Madison's southwest side has some residents thinking about moving out.
"This is just what I remember coming up as a kid, and it's sad when you can't play in your neighborhood," said Bettys Lane resident Nataki Brown-Williams. "And coming from Chicago, you know, this is bad."
She's raising six kids ages 1 through 17 on Bettys Lane. But after last Friday's fight that involved between 50 and 75 people on the corner of her street and Theresa Terrace, Brown-Williams has had enough.
"It's like, let's go," said Brown-Williams. "I tell my husband all the time, let's just get up and go."
It's a problem city officials call systemic.
"There's quite a bit of violence right in that specific neighborhood and it's not acceptable," said Madison Alder Matt Phair.
Madison police said they've increased patrols in the Bettys Lane area, but stronger police presence may only be part of the solution.
"Really, it's going to take community involvement," said Madison police spokesperson Howard Payne. "It's going to take parents getting involved with their children and their activities so these types of incidents don't happen."
City officials are taking a role in turning around the neighborhood, as well. They're implementing a kids' summer program and building a neighborhood center slated to be finished this fall, among other initiatives.
"Working with landlords to maybe get some of the tenants out who are some of the bad actors in the neighborhood, that's one of the things we're really focusing on," said Phair.
All Brown-Williams is asking for is a safe place to raise her kids, and a neighborhood she can feel comfortable living in.
"Change, change," said Brown-Williams. "Meaning: the bad people out and the good people in."

Serves 6
Simmering the your leftover Thanksgiving turkey carcass for 4 hours results in a full-bodied, fragrant broth, which becomes the base of this flavorul soup.
Rinse and dry the neck and giblets. Heat the oil in an 8-quart stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the neck and giblets and brown well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the parsley stems, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, carcass and aromatics, and vermouth and cook for 2 minutes. Barely cover the solids with water (you'll need about 1 gallon) and reduce the heat to medium. Slowly bring to a simmer, skimming any scum that rises to the surface—this will take about 45 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot partially, and simmer very slowly—just lazy bubbles—for 4 hours.
Strain the broth through a colander and then again through a fine strainer. Pour the strained broth into a large saucepan and boil until reduced to 9 cups. Remove from the heat and cool at room temperature for about an hour; refrigerate overnight. Skim off the fat before using.
Heat a 6-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, onion, carrot, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the escarole and season with 1/2 tsp. salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you cook the rice.
Bring a 3-quart saucepan of well-salted water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Boil, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 14 minutes.
Drain the rice and add it to the soup along with the turkey and lemon juice. Simmer just to heat the turkey, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. Sprinkle each serving with grated pecorino.
The turkey broth will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer.

Journalists caught in crosshairs amid protests and unrest in Zimbabwe
A photograph of freelance journalist Lucy Yasini trying to ward off an attack by police while covering a protest in Harare was circulated on social media last week. A day later, a photograph was shared of two reporters, Obey Manayiti and Robert Tapfumaneyi, in the back of a police truck after their arrest. The incidents signaled to the world that Zimbabwean journalists are once again targets as police try to clamp down on widespread protests.

2nd Annual Bay Area Walk Against Genocide
Sunday April 29, 2012
Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA
Noon-4pm: Music & Tabling
1-2pm: Program
2-3pm: Walk
Follow us on Twitter
visit us on Facebook!
We will gather at the band shell (0.25 miles from the intersection of Grand and Bellevue Avenues, immediately southeast of "Fairyland", and directly across from the Lakeside Park Garden Center at 666 Bellevue Avenue).Volunteers and signs will direct you.
Doyle Drive (linking San Francisco & Marin) will be closed on Sunday. Please check whether you should allow some additional travel time over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, Bay Bridge, and/or Routes 580 and 80. Both BART and AC transit have stops at Lake Merritt Park.
Please dress in layers, bring a sunhat or other head covering, sunscreen, and water.
April is Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month. The 2nd Annual Bay Area Walk Against Genocide is our way to take part. Hundreds of people walked including genocide survivors, community leaders, students and neighbors for a day of reflection, speeches, advocacy training, and a collective walk around Lake Merritt.
See 2011 Event Photos!!
Why Your Participation Matters
In 2010, the California State Legislature proclaimed April of each year Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month (Assembly Concurrent Resolution). The State Legislature chose April because several 20th century genocides, from the Armenian genocide to Cambodia and Bosnia, are commemorated during that month. California is the first state in the nation to declare a Genocide Prevention Month, making April 2011 a historic month for California, and for the nation.
2011 Walk Against Genocide
was the first Bay Area event to implement the new resolution. The Walk is our chance to publicly show our support for the victims of these conflicts, walk in solidarity with genocide survivors, hear their stories, and learn how awareness and effective action can prevent future atrocities from taking place.
Why Walking Matters
Violators of human rights want nothing more than for the public to remain silent in the face of those violations. Through silence, the pathway for continuing those violations stands free and clear.
When you walk against genocide, you demonstrate to local, national and world leaders that the people of the Bay Area will not look away in the face of past, current and future genocides and mass atrocities.
When you walk, you send a message to perpetrators of genocide that here in the Bay Area, we will not be silent.
Genocide Is Not Just An International Story. It's A Local Story.
Survivors of mass atrocities live among us right here in the Bay Area. Our community is home to Jews, Sudanese, Armenians, Cambodians, Rwandans and many other survivors and descendants of victims of genocides. The Bay Area Walk Against Genocide gives you, your friends, your family and your children a unique opportunity to meet them, hear their stories, and learn how we can all make a difference by getting more involved.
Here are some of the genocide survivors and their descendents you will meet at the walk:
* Ann
is walking to support victims in Rwanda, where she served as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1978.
* Stewart
, the son of refugees from Hitler's Germany, is walking to raise awareness about the continuing horrors of genocide.
* Stacey
is walking to raise awareness about the human rights abuses and genocide happening right now in Sudan.
* Shivvy
, a survivor of the Cambodian genocide, is walking to raise awareness about the genocide that took place there.
* Martina
is walking to create the political will to prevent future genocides in honor of her ancestors who perished in the Holocaust.
Take One Sunday Out Of The Year, And Walk Against Genocide.
Join us in raising the visibility and voices of survivors and descendants of past genocides, supporting our youth activists, growing a community of annual walkers, raising funds for ongoing services to conflict-affected civilians, and advocating to end and prevent genocide. Start a team, bring your children, walk with your family, or join a group of individuals dedicated to this cause.

Antichrist Update Vol. 4: Light Therapy for Electile Dysfunction (1.22.10)
Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. They enmesh you in a grander moment, as if history has stopped flowing passively by, and, just for an instant, contracted around you, made you aware of its presence, and your role in it. He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh, over color, over despair.... The tens of thousands of new voters Obama brought to the polls tonight came because he wrapped them in that experience, because he let them touch politics as it could be, rather than merely as it is. --Ezra Klein
A black man with a white mother became a savior to us. A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.... This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.... If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed. --Calypso Louis
Continuing with our analysis of the Devil Card, our Unknown Friend (UF) writes that the excesses of the left are always "owing to an intoxication of the will and imagination which engenders demons."
For example, if Marx and Engels had merely behaved as good Jews or Christians and "simply defended the interests of the industrial workers without having let themselves be carried away by their intoxicated imagination," then their ideas wouldn't have been so apocalyptically destructive. After all, every normal person wants to help the poor and needy, but it is axiomatic that helping the human animal while killing the human soul renders any spiritual benefit inoperative for both parties.
Further, as Schuon commented, "Progressivism is the wish to eliminate effects without wishing to eliminate their causes..." To paraphrase him the leftist wishes to make himself as useful as possible to a collectivity which renders the individual as useless as possible in the process. But
"one must never lose sight of the fact that there exists no higher usefulness than that which envisages the final ends of man. By its divorce from traditional truth... society forfeits its own justification, doubtless not in a perfunctorily animal sense, but in the human sense. This human quality implies that the collectivity, as such, cannot be the aim and purpose of the individual but that, on the contrary, it is the individual who, in his 'solitary stand' before the Absolute and in the exercise of his supreme function, is the aim of purpose of collectivity. Man, whether he be conceived in the plural or the singular, or whether his function be direct or indirect, stands like 'a fragment of absoluteness' and is made for the Absolute.... In any case, one can define the social in terms of truth, but one cannot define truth in terms of the social."
Moreover, the left always couches their supposed empathy for the downtrodden in fantastically broad and sweeping generalizations of historical "and even cosmic significance, such as the statement that God does not exist, that all religion is is only the 'opium of the people,' [and] that all ideology is only a superstructure on the basis of material interests." UF wrote that in the early '60s, but it is no different today, with the intoxication that fuels and pervades the Obama campaign:
"What we hear from Obama is the eternal mantra of the socialists; America is broken, millions have no health care, families cannot afford necessities, the rich are evil, we are selfish, we are unhappy, unfulfilled, without hope, desperate, poverty stricken, morally desolate, corrupt and racist. This nihilism is the lifeblood of all the democrat candidates.... When Michelle Obama claims she is only newly proud of her country, she does not exaggerate. In her world as in Obama's, they believe we are a mess, a land filled with the ignorant and unenlightened, filled with despair" (Fairchok).
Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes, not divine, but demonic. --Pope Benedict XVI
As UF writes, it is always a "matter of excess -- a going beyond the limits of competence and sober and honest knowledge," which the left never doubts, "having been carried away by the intoxicating impulse of radicalism, i.e. by a fever of the will and imagination to change everything utterly at a single stroke."
It is this fever dream of sweeping existential change that animates the left no less than the Islamists, since both deny the possibility of real spiritual change, which is an individual matter; in contrast, man's existential situation cannot be altered, only transcended.
As Lee Harris has written, a fantasy ideology such as Islamism is obviously not a rational response to the world arrived at in a logical, sober manner. Rather, it is a transformative belief, meaning that its primary purpose is to psychologically transform the person who believes the fantasy. And believing the fantasy is an end in itself -- it has no purpose other than to make the fantasy seem like reality -- like it might actually be true. Therefore, the real reason for 9-11 wasn't actually to bring down western civilization. Rather, it was for the Islamists to deepen their trance.
Likewise, anyone with a basic familiarity with economics knows that leftist ideas don't just fail, but backfire. They cause all sorts of unintended consequences that the leftist never connects to the original policy -- e.g., how the welfare state eroded the structure of the black family, how racial quotas inevitably harm blacks, how rent control causes housing shortages, how subsidizing higher education simply drives up the cost, how nationalized health leads to rationing, and how forcing banks to make bad loans to unqualified people is at the epicenter or today's economic problems.
Now, UF explains that the virtue of temperence protects us from the intoxicating counter-inspiration of radical fantasies -- including religious fantasies, which are not actually religious but manmade. As such, it is foolish to blame God or religion for things that emanate from the lower vertical in man.
UF makes the subtle point that one cannot engender a positive collective mind parasite. This is related to the principle that the mind parasite is an effect of "congealed" or "coagulated" psychic energy. As a result, it always "enfolds," whereas the good radiates. The former is an inward, contracting movement, whereas the latter is an expansive, radiant movement. This may sound overly abstract, but we are all familiar with the ontologically closed world of the left, whether it is their elite university campuses or the op-ed page of the New York Times. If you approach these things with your activated cʘʘnvision, you can literally experience them as a sort of dense, black hole of "inverse radiation."
Now, why did people respond to, say, Ronald Reagan? For the opposite reason -- the radiant positive energy of which he was a mere vehicle. This only became more apparent when placed side by side with Jimmy Carter's withered and constipated presence.
I suppose the novel thing about Obama is that he is selling the same constipation, but with a kind of cheap and meretricious radiation that one must be intoxicated to appreciate. Indeed, as Fairchok writes,
"That is his appeal; he is [ironically] an actor, a performer, a cinematic presence that stirs simple emotions, emotions that have little grounding in truth. His speeches are the inane lyrics to a popular song that endures only because it has a great beat. One must not think too deeply on what Obama says, for it turns to smoke and disappears in the light of day. Ezra Klein is correct, Obama's speeches do not inform, they pander, they propagandize, they harmonize with the mythology of despair and the chimera of entitlement. As his hagiographies proclaim, he represents a new Camelot, but one that does not hold America quite so precious, a Camelot of globalists, moral relativists and communitarians."
Now, how to drive out a demon? Easy. As UF explains, "Light drives out darkness. This simple truth is the practical key to the problem of how to combat demons. A demon perceived, i.e. on whom the light of consciousness is thrown, is already a demon rendered impotent.... A demon rendered impotent is a deflated balloon." And the most recent Rasmussen survey indicates that this balloony tune is on a flaccid trip from omnipotence to impotence in record time.
The lords of Falsehood hold, at present, almost complete sway over poor humanity. Not only the lower life-energy, the lower vital being, but also the whole mind of man accepts them. Countless are the ways in which they are worshipped, for they are more subtle in their cunning and seek their ends in variously seductive disguises. The result is that men cling to their falsehood as if it were a treasure, cherishing it more than even the most beautiful things of life. Apprehensive of its safety, they take care to bury it deep down in themselves; but unless they take it out and surrender it to the Divine they will never find true happiness.
Indeed the very act of bringing it out and showing it to the Light would be in itself a momentous conversion and pave the way to the final victory. For the laying bare of each falsehood is in itself a victory -- each acknowledgment of error is the demolition of one of the lords of Darkness. --The Mother, Conversations on Yoga

'Understanding Comics' author to speak, Oct. 5
Posted September 28, 2006; 01:03 p.m.
Scott McCloud, author of the 1993 groundbreaking book "Understanding
Comics," will speak at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5, in the Stewart Film
Theater, 185 Nassau St.
McCloud, an artist and scholar of comics, will speak on "Comics: An Art Form in Transition."
The book links the medium of comics to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism and Web design, and is credited with reinvigorating the art form as a whole.
McCloud's new book, "Making Comics," explores the creation of comics from the broadest principles to the sharpest details -- such as how to accentuate a character's facial muscles in order to form the emotion of disgust rather than the emotion of surprise.
His talk at Princeton is part of the /@rts lecture series organized by a number of groups across campus, including the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Office of Information Technology, the Council of the Humanities, the Program in Visual Arts, the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Music, the University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts and the University Art Museum. The series aims to explore interrelations of new media, technology and traditional forms and practices of the arts and humanities.

Jean Meloy
MADISON - Jean Meloy died on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at the Rest Haven Health Care Center with her daughter, Donna and granddaughter, Shana at her side.
Jean was born February 2, 1918 in Price County Wisconsin to Dan and Mabel Nusbaum. She was the fourth of eight children. Jean attended the University of Wisconsin and became a registered nurse. While working at the Gisholt Machine Company during World War II she met the love of her life, Don Meloy, who was then working nights while attending Law School. They married on September 28, 1942 and had three children.
She is survived by her children, Donna Meloy of Lafayette, Indiana, Mark (Judy) Meloy of Deforest, and Gary (Mary) Meloy of Marshall. She was blessed with seven grandchildren; Brian Berger (Leah Johnston), Shana Berger (Nathan Purath), Amy (Scott) Baillies, Jason Meloy, Pat (Tia) Meloy, Colleen Meloy (Kevin Pomarnke), and Mike (Mandy) Meloy. She is also survived by eight great-grandchildren, her sister Kate (Gene) Bradfield, brother-in-law Leo Miller, and numerous nieces and nephews who truly loved "Aunt Jeanie."
After Don's death in April 1983 she continued to enjoy life, particularly the annual trips to Florida with her extended family, the Nusbaums. She was a wonderful, caring person.
Pursuant to her wishes she was quickly and unceremoniously laid to rest next to her husband, Don, at Roselawn Cemetery. For online condolences visit www.CressFuneral Service.com

there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
I think the difference in the comments is the difference between a headline reading something like "Sarkozy Chides Obama For Being Childish" as opposed to "Sarkozy Supports US Security Council Resolution; Warns Sanctions May Be Needed". The second is accurate; the first is the right wing wet dream. Missed in both is a serious effort by the administration to achieve what we have failed to achieve until now: Russian and Chinese support. I don't know if the effort will be successful. If it is, that would be the first concrete achievement with respect to Iran since Reagan.
Jeff Goodwin
A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer then the men who mention it.
[QUOTE=YardleyLabs;505701]Sometimes disagreements can be created simply by judiciously leaving out portions of remarks. The context of Sakozy's comments was a resolution adopted, with his support, that did not include specific sanctions but did establish some deadlines for Iranian action. For the first time, such a resolution was supported by China and Russia, and for the first time these nations appeared willing to cosider sanctions if Iran remains unresponsive. Sarkozy is seeking to push them in that direction and said, according to the transcript of his remarks released by the French embassy:
Uh, Jeff....here is what was really bgoing on behind the public rhetoric.
President Obama wants a unified front against Iran, and to that end he stood together with Nicolas Sarkozy and Gordon Brown in Pittsburgh on Friday morning to reveal the news about Tehran's secret facility to build bomb-grade fuel. But now we hear that the French and British leaders were quietly seething on stage, annoyed by America's handling of the announcement.
Both countries wanted to confront Iran a day earlier at the United Nations. Mr. Obama was, after all, chairing a Security Council session devoted to nonproliferation. The latest evidence of Iran's illegal moves toward acquiring a nuclear weapon was in hand. With the world's leaders gathered in New York, the timing and venue would be a dramatic way to rally international opinion.
President Sarkozy in particular pushed hard. He had been "frustrated" for months about Mr. Obama's reluctance to confront Iran, a senior French government official told us, and saw an opportunity to change momentum. But the Administration told the French that it didn't want to "spoil the image of success" for Mr. Obama's debut at the U.N. and his homily calling for a world without nuclear weapons, according to the Paris daily Le Monde. So the Iran bombshell was pushed back a day to Pittsburgh, where the G-20 were meeting to discuss economic policy.
Le Monde's diplomatic correspondent, Natalie Nougayrède, reports that a draft of Mr. Sarkozy's speech to the Security Council Thursday included a section on Iran's latest deception. Forced to scrap that bit, the French President let his frustration show with undiplomatic gusto in his formal remarks, laying into what he called the "dream" of disarmament. The address takes on added meaning now that we know the backroom discussions.
We thought we'd never see the day when the President of France shows more resolve than America's Commander in Chief for confronting one of the gravest challenges to global security. But here we are.
Obama is CLUELESS when it comes to foreign policy.
Train the dog, the ribbons will take care of themselves.

Thank you for renewing this thread. Pythiosis is a very deadly disease and is not so rare anymore, however, still many veterinary practices see very few cases of the disease.
Education is the key to recognizing the disease, and that is why I created the website, http://www.pythioisis.com. It goes into detail concerning the disease, so I will not repost here.
Many thanks to Ann Heise and Dave Rorem for supplying many of the dogs for blood testing for the disease. I thought I had posted those results, but will be glad to again.
Here are the basic stats for the study group.
BL = 175-199 BL= 150-199 BL = 175-199 # with symptoms Total % Total % Total % Negative 106 61.99 137 80.12 8 5.84 Borderline 43 25.15 12 7.02 2 16.67 Positive 22 12.87 22 12.87 6 27.27 Total Tested 171 171 16
I did the Borderline range at 150-199 and at 175-199 because I think the 150-175 range is too low. We are doing more tests to check this. I use the lower BL range in clinical samples to be sure we pick up on very early infected dogs which have lower scores. Id rather do this and get a few false BLs than to miss some infected animals.
It is interesting to note the correlation of Positive tests and animals with a history of symptoms. 27% of the positive group reported symptoms vs less than 6% of the negative group.

As Scouts develop and grow they acquire skills and better their camping techniques. They learn through the Start, Stop, and Continue process and each and every camp out they get better and better.
Well, we would hope so. You all know that old adage, "You can lead a horse to water…" Well, I have come to believe that it is true. With a few exceptions, I mean to say that.. you can lead that horse to water.. but you have to motivate him to drink. And so it is with our Scouts. We teach them, guide them, and coach them… but I will not do it for them.
So what motivates them? The other thing that I have come to believe is that one day in all of them a light goes on… lets call that light motivation. When it comes to cooking on camp outs, it is that point when meat balls are not enough.
It is the point when a Scout realizes that being lazy will never getting anything accomplished, and when taking the easy way does not satisfy them. It is that point when they look around and see those that have already had to light come on and want to be like them. Until then however.. meatballs are enough.
I recently had a discussion with a few of the parents of boys in my troop that were not happy with the way their Scout was eating on camp outs. Valid concerns I assure you. But the answer was not going to be found by asking the Scoutmaster. The answer could be found in their planning (which is checked by an ASM). The answer could be found in the Scout that did the shopping and food prep. The answer could be found in how much did they bring home (Un prepared food because "We did not feel like cooking). The answer was not in lack of instruction, coaching, and leadership. The answer was in laziness and lack of "Wantto".
We take the boys out prepared, what they do within their patrols during meal times is pretty much up to them. There has never been a Scout that died of hunger on a weekend camp out and the sooner they get tired of meat balls… the sooner they will get better.
We have seen in this in the last three age groups of our Scouts. they start off great… taper off.. then get tired of the crappy food and become great camp cooks. The light goes on and they get it. And that was my answer to concerned Mom and Dad.. one day they will get it. And you will know… as will I. Until then, we coach, teach, and mentor and they cook meatballs.
So be it. We all learn.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Aid for Trade in developing countries
European trade strategy supports the trade growth potential of developing countries. The aim is to support these countries, engaged in global trade liberalization, in participating fully in the rules-based trading system. This strategy contributes to the coherence of the European Union's (EU) policies on foreign trade and development aid.
EU Strategy on Aid for Trade: Enhancing EU support for trade-related needs in developing countries - the General Affairs and External Relations Council of 29 October 2007 [Not published in the Official Journal].
This Strategy aims to facilitate the integration of developing countries, and least developed countries in particular, in the world trading system. The Strategy promotes the development of trade as a means of reducing world poverty, thus contributing to the Millennium Development Goals.
The aid supports the introduction of trade policies in favour of developing the commercial sector and removing trade barriers. Developing countries face structural deficiencies which slow down the growth of supply and demand. As such, specific support should be provided for the development of funding, infrastructure, knowledge and production capacity.
The Strategy lays down a series of priorities which should:
- increase the overall Aid for Trade provided by the EU under its development aid commitments;
- increase the impact of resources provided by the EU and its Member States. In particular, through greater effectiveness of Aid for Trade. This involves increased collaboration between and coordination of partners when needs are assessed, appropriate responses are developed and Aid for Trade is provided;
- encourage regional integration, including through trade between the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP), and focus action on poverty reduction;
- reinforce progress monitoring.
The European Trade Strategy comes under the framework of EU actions to fight world poverty, as well as the Doha Development Agenda and the initiative in favour of Aid for Trade, adopted by the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The role of non-governmental organizations in fact- finding and publicizing human rights violations is also addressed.
This seminar analyzes in greater depth a limited number of issues that are of contemporary interest in the field of international human rights law. While specific topics vary, those addressed in recent years have included equality and non-discrimination; democracy; economic and social rights; business and human rights; and humanitarian intervention. The seminar requires a substantial research paper that analyzes a human rights issue in depth, the topic to be determined in consultation with the instructor. Open to students who have completed L210 or equivalent.
This seminar explores the evolution of the concepts of self-determination and minority rights from the nineteenth century to the present. The focus is on changing legal norms, including interpretation of the principle of self-determination by the League of Nations and United Nations; protection of the rights of ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities; and the articulation of the rights of indigenous peoples. The seminar requires a substantial research paper that analyzes a contemporary situation in which these issues are significant. Open to students who have completed L200, L210 or equivalent.
Demands for accountability for mass atrocities have triggered the development of international criminal justice, which has become a significant phenomenon in international relations. This course reviews mandates and operations of contemporary international and hybrid courts, including the International Criminal Court, the UN tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, and the special courts, such as the ones in Cambodia or Lebanon. It considers how they confront impunity for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, by trying individual leaders, including heads of state. It analyzes the tension between state sovereignty and international criminal justice, and how the latter is challenged for being selective. It is recommended that students have completed L216.
This seminar considers the range of processes and mechanisms available to ensure accountability for large-scale human rights violations and achieve reconciliation, including criminal justice, truth and reconciliation commissions, and mechanisms, which incorporate local custom, such as gacaca in Rwanda.

One-half credit.
This seminar offers an introduction to international humanitarian law, the body of law regulating armed conflicts. It retraces its evolution, focusing on efforts to mitigate human suffering in war and on the protection of civilians. It considers the challenges posed to the application of IHL by the changing nature of armed conflicts. The topics discussed include: the principles underpinning IHL, the definition and types of armed conflicts, the distinction between combatants and civilians, the regulation of private military and security companies, humanitarian action during armed conflict, the use of child-soldiers, rape as a 'weapon of war,' and other war crimes.
Using the case method, this course explores the key court decisions that have helped establish the legal principles that empower and regulate international organizations. Analysis of these cases illuminates the relationship and tension between international law and politics in this area, as well as shows how courts help and hinder the development of international organizations, sometimes in the same case. Additional case studies will focus on contemporary problems facing a variety of international organizations. The debates and assessment exercises will strengthen students' critical reasoning skills, in addition to fostering a sophisticated understanding of the law created for and by international organizations.

Not offered AY 2016-2017
This course studies methodologies used by international actors in promoting the rule of law postconflict. It focuses on eight aspects: constitutional development, code reform, legal drafting, judicial reform, accountability for past abuses, fighting corruption, democratic policing, and local custom. These are strategies for building the basic institutional framework strictly necessary for the maintenance of peace and security in the immediate aftermath of conflict. The course will therefore deal with the restoration/reestablishment of the justice sector and only minimally with economic issues. It includes case studies of East Timor, Kosovo, South Africa, Cambodia, Rwanda, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Not offered AY 2016-2017
This course deals with the intersection of international law and United States constitutional law, focusing upon the separation of powers doctrine and the allocation of decision-making authority, international law as part of United States law, treaties and other international agreements, the war power and terrorism, the appropriations power, federalism, the role of the courts, and current national security issues. Open to students who have completed L200 or its equivalent, or with permission of the instructor.
Existing non-proliferation regimes center around three important multilateral treaties and the verification mechanisms associated with them: the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Chemical Weapons Convention, and the Biological Weapons Convention. Recent developments, including concerns about weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of non-state actors, have raised questions about the viability of existing regimes. The objective of this seminar is to explore these developments from a legal and institutional perspective. Situated in the broader context of the politics and policies of non-proliferation, we will look at the past, present and future of each regime, drawing on current cases to illustrate their strengths and weaknesses. We will look at the key legal instruments, the institutional arrangements for monitoring compliance, and the enforcement mechanisms. Special attention will be devoted to new initiatives that seek to complement existing regimes. More generally, we will consider what – if any - is the impact of international law and institutions in a field that goes to the core of national and international security.
Directed reading and research for credit, providing an opportunity for qualified students to pursue the study of particular problems within the discipline of International Law and Organizations under the personal guidance of a member of faculty. The course may be assigned to a Field of Study according to the topic selected. By consent of the professor and petition.

Principal battling cancer surprises students at pep rally
Fundraiser to benefit principal's family set for March 15
JANESVILLE, Wis. - An annual event for Monroe Elementary School in Janesville will be a fundraiser for the school's principal.
Principal Lori Burns remains on medical leave battling stage four breast cancer.
She surprised her students by returning to school Thursday for their pep rally to kick off "Monroe Madness," the school's annual students verses staff basketball game.
After three weeks, Burns returned to Monroe Elementary School to cheers, high fives and applause.
"I have lesions on my brain, on my liver, my lungs and my vertebrae. So I have a big battle ahead of me," Burns said.
Burns said she has good days and bad ones. She said she has some vision problems and the radiation treatment causes a burning sensation in her body.
Despite that, Burns said she's thankful Thursday was a good day because she really wanted to see her students.
Burns says she missed her "second family" and wanted them to know she's fighting and doing OK.
"I'm here and I'm fighting. I know they're going to be thinking, 'Oh my goodness, she has no hair,'" Burns said.
Treatment robbed her of her hair, but the 44-year-old remains optimistic. She credits community support for her strength.19132454
"I feel like I have the perfect situation in order to beat this and that's the way I'm entering this. With God on my side and all these people supporting us. I'm going to fight the good fight," Burns said.
Burns travels to Madison daily for treatment. She said fundraisers hosted by Janesville groups have helped with those expenses. It's unclear when she will be able to return, but she said her heart remains with her students.
"When they've come in here for discipline or when I'm talking to them out at recess, all I want them to do is try, and that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try and I feel like I am the most equipped that I have ever been in my life to battle this."
This year's Monroe Madness will be a benefit for Burns and her family. It is being held March 15 in the gym at Craig High School, 401 S. Randall Ave. Tip-off is at 6 p.m.
Admission is free but they will be selling T-shirts and collecting donations. For details on the fundraiser, people can contact Lisa Haberli at 608-743-6951 or visit the school's website.
Burns also keeps a journal on www.caringbridge.org (log in and click on Loriburns68).
