MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Muslims in the U.S. reacted quickly and with relief to the news that Osama bin Laden had been killed. But as NPR's Barbara Bradley Hagerty reports, some wondered if this will really ease tension between Muslims and their neighbors.
BARBARA BRADLEY HAGERTY: On the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, Muslims were reveling in the death of Osama bin Laden.
Mr. HAHSANE YAHME(ph): This guy should have been dead a long time ago. Hopefully the rest them will be dead soon.
Ms. HANNAH ALI(ph): He did not give Muslims a good name. So I think it's definitely a victory for us.
HAGERTY: Hahsane Yahme and Hannah Ali say bin Laden distorted the Muslim faith. And Muhammad Shiab(ph) said he hopes that now, Americans will see Muslims in a new light.
Mr. MUHAMMAD SHIAB: We're good American citizens. We pay our taxes and live like everyone else does, and we're proud to live here.
HAGERTY: Shiab hopes that bin Laden's death will take the heat off of Muslims here. And Faisal Abdul Rauf, the imam who planned to locate a mosque near ground zero, believes it will do just that.
Mr. FAISAL ABDUL RAUF (Imam): I think that this is a turning point. There's still a lot of enormous amount of work to be done. But there's no doubt in my mind that, in the American perception, this has helped a lot to bring closure.
HAGERTY: It's hard to find a Muslim leader here who has criticized the American military action. Some clerics abroad say that burying bin Laden at sea violated Muslim laws and was aimed at humiliating Muslims but not Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations.
Mr. NEHAD AWAD (Executive Director, Council on American Islamic Relations): The most important issue is that this terrorist has been eliminated. And Muslims do not care about the details of how he was buried.
HAGERTY: He said it was a smart move because now there will be no shrines for bin Laden followers to visit. And yet some, like Imam Johari Abdul Maleek, worry that that revenge will only reap more revenge, and he's bracing for an angry Muslim reaction, if not in the U.S. then abroad.
Mr. JOHARI ABDUL MALEEK (Imam): That mantle of violence will only be picked up by someone else who will be seeking revenge rather than seeking justice.
HAGERTY: Imam Johari, who serves at a mosque in northern Virginia, says killing bin Laden is not a silver bullet that will cure the problems of Muslims in the United States.
Mr. MALEEK: I don't believe that it's going to make Muslims in America any more accepted if they dance on the grave of Osama bin Laden.
HAGERTY: And yet he agrees with President Obama that bin Laden was a mass murderer who killed more Muslims than anyone else, and he harmed Islam in the process.

To get out there? Can't you swim? Sure, but not in that cold sexpornimg water. Follow me. We took a trail to the shore where he knelt down and said, Get on my shoulders. He pointed to his shoulders and had a don't-argue-boy, look. Once I was on, sexpornimg he pushed out into the water. Instantly, I was standing on top of the tree trunk moving swiftly toward the island. I knew he was the floating tree! I couldn't wait to tell Kyle. The top of the trunk was wide enough to be very comfortable and, other than the bobbing, it was a smooth ride. Being on the Old Man of the Lake floating across the ancient volcanic crater made me feel as if I was at the center of the universe.I gazed down at our reflection in the water, almost a perfect dark mirror.

The 2011 Emmy Awards hosted by Jane Lynch brought out A-list celebrities, comedians and actors, but, for some, failed to create a unique experience from previous years. As Hank Steuver reported:
Watch enough awards shows (we all have) and you can tell almost from the first minute when one of these things is not going to achieve much lift and will instead turn into a three-hour watching chore. Like Sunday night's Emmys on Fox, hosted through no lasting fault of her own by "Glee" star Jane Lynch.
Apparently constructed from loose scraps of somebody else's Emmy shows, the year's "biggest night in television" fell flat in writing, performance and imagination, except in the most fleeting moments. It's bizarre how much effort goes into something that can seem so phoned-in: predictable awards, tongue-tied acceptance speeches, wan comedy bits. Is everybody jazzed about the new fall season yet?
"Mad Men" won its fourth Emmy in a row for outstanding drama series. Against all that other great stuff — "Friday Night Lights," "Game of Thrones," etc. That's how boring this year's Emmys were. Even Matthew Weiner, "Mad Men's" usually prideful creator, had to fake his excitement. "Oh my goodness, I did not think that was going to happen," he said, which is what every Emmy winner said. It's like nobody wanted an Emmy.
The big winner of the night was "Modern Family," ABC's universally beloved comedy, which took outstanding comedy for the second year in a row, plus another four Emmys — for its writing and directing and also for supporting actor and actress Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen, who, as the frequently frantic Phil and Claire Dunphy, are arguably the best players in one of television's strongest and funniest ensembles. But all the awards and baseline acclaim can mean only one thing to TV's most discerning (and finicky) viewers: We're about half a season away from wondering whether "Modern Family" is still funny. Success is like that.
There were several surprises with the selection of the 2011 Emmy winners, with many shows failing to get what many thought were deserved awards. Jen Chaney highlighted some Emmy snubs:
No Emmy for Steve Carell
As previously noted in this blog, Carell has more than proven that he deserved at least one Emmy for his portrayal of Michael Scott. In this, his final season of "The Office," he was passed over for Jim Parsons, who won for the second consecutive year, leaving Carell Emmy-less for the sixth year in a row. Emmy-less — that's so not what she said.
No Emmy for Connie Britton
It was wonderful to see Coach Eric Taylor, otherwise known as Kyle Chandler, finally win an Emmy for his work on "Friday Night Lights." But the actress known as Tami Taylor, or Mrs. Coach, got nada. And week after week, she was just so good. Emmy voters clearly did not appreciate that, y'all.
No Emmy for Jon Hamm
Barring a tie, Hamm and Chandler couldn't both win lead actor in a drama category. So the man who brilliantly brings Don Draper to life on "Mad Men" went home empty-handed for the fourth year in a row.
No Emmy for Michael C. Hall
Another dramatic actor who has repeatedly lost, the star of "Dexter" missed the mark for the fourth consecutive time. This marks his fifth Emmy loss if you factor in his non-victory for "Six Feet Under."
Not every joke made at the Emmy Awards made it into the Fox telecast Sunday night, with a politically sensitive joke about News Corp., Fox's parent company from Alec Baldwin failing to make the cut. As Jen Chaney explained:
Alec Baldwin was omitted from the clip that opened tonight's Emmy Awards.
Deadline reported that the "30 Rock" star made a joke about Rupert Murdoch and the News Corp. phone-hacking scandal in the original pre-taped bit. But Fox, a subsidiary of News Corp., opted to cut the joke because the network "did not want to be seen as making light of" the scandal. After Baldwin opted out, Leonard Nimoy was called in to replace him and was seen in the video opposite Jane Lynch.
Several outlets are reporting that Baldwin, who is nominated tonight in the lead actor in a comedy category, decided to boycott the ceremony because of the edit. But Deadline's piece says Baldwin had already committed to be in New York for Tony Bennett's birthday soiree.

Hey Ladies,
I know it has been forever since I have been on here and updated ya'll. I can finally update you because things have settled down enough now.
My dad is doing great. His surgery went very well. The surgeon was very pleased with how it went and was able to remove more of the tumor than he originally thought he was going to be able to remove. He is actually on his way to the Dr with my mom to get his stitches removed today. He will have a follow up MRI in another month or two, that MRI will determine if he will need radiation or not. But so far so good, everything is looking great for him. So glad he is finally on the mend.
I did tell my parents before the surgery about our peanut and they are overjoyed. But I was very upset and annoyed because my mom's response was I told you that it would happen in God's timing. That I just needed to be more patient and relax. She also said she what happens when you don't plan everything. Thanks mom!!!
Our little peanut is amazing!!! So we saw our peanut on 7/11 for the first ultrasound. We didn't get to hear the heart beat but saw it flickering on the screen and the HR was 140 at that time. So we just saw our peanut yesterday (7/25) for the second ultrasound. We did get to hear the heart beat and it was so amazing!!! HR at that time is 173. Also relieved to see that our peanut has two arms and two legs. We also got to briefly see our baby in 3D on the ultrasound, that was pretty cool. After seeing our peanut twice now and talking to the RE, I am officially released back to my OB. I know this sounds ridiculous but I am still in shock/denial that I am truly preggo. I think maybe the reason I feel this way is because we tried so hard for so long and thought it would never happen. The other reason I think is because I am really not having tons of symptoms and thankfully no m/s or nausea. Nonetheless, feeling very blessed and happy to be preggo.
Just wanted to stop by and say hello and update you!!! Love ya ladies!!! Hoping, praying, and wishing that ya'll get your bfps soon!!!
Pics of our peanut:
Our peanut at 7wks 1 day (peanut was measuring a day behind)

[Blackest Night] Damn Dirty Zombies 15: "All Will Be Well"
Did everyone have a good holiday? We hope so! Fortunately, the war against the agents of death didn't take a two-week break. We have lots of story threads continuing, and even beginning to merge more closely together. Spoilers set to maximum, as your recaps begin… NOW.
Green Lantern #49: Oh, Xanshi, the world wrought with death at the hands of none other than John Stewart. Now, it's a Black Lantern Planet, and its inhabitants are determined to make the Green Lantern one of their own. The consummate soldier (although he's actually an ex-Marine; Soldiers are Army, but I digress) starts off his massive battle by trying to simply blow up an old Lantern Battery that had ostensibly been floating in space since the destruction of Xanshi. We get a brief John Stewart history lesson, showing he's been a killer for a long time. In taunting the Green Lantern, the BL's got what they wanted, some strong Will. It comes out in spades, with his own "corps" based off his fellow Marines, lining up alongside him. In the middle of the fight, he realizes that he simply can't beat the residents of Xanshi, and needs to regroup on Earth, where we'll see a familiar line of dialogue in a couple of summaries. There's a backup story that briefly details Nekron's birth as guardian of Death, and notes that he allowed certain people to escape death solely so they would be his to control later.
Teen Titans #78: The Deathstroke Family Holiday Reunion Special continued in part two of this tie-in. Deathstroke, Ravager (Rose), and Jericho were beset by dead mothers, dead brothers, dead assistants, and dead uncles. Apparently, the point of this two-parter, apart from hitting the same Black Lantern beats as the other tie-ins and reminding us again that Felicia Henderson was supposed to have been the regular writer of this book, is the set-up for the new status quo for the OTHER Titans book, wherein Deathstroke is apparently going to be leading a team of his own. As we ponder the possibilities of a team leader that's know for being a) a hired killer, and b) willing to sleep with underage girls (yes, Terra was insane, but "Officer, she was insane, and looked over 18" still doesn't hold up in court), we at DDZ would like to suggest that all of the Wilson family members seek serious, serious therapy. While in prison.
Blackest Night: JSA #1: This book picks up on threads of another tie-in mini-series, but calling it Blackest Night: Superman 2: Electric Bugaloo didn't get past focus testing. The now traditional "Memory Download sequence" gets a bit of a twist here, as it is interspersed with the ongoing fight simultaneously. Nonetheless, we see Wesley Dodds, Charles McNider, and Terry Sloane rise from their graves as the Black Lantern JSA. The non-undead JSA is still wrapped up in the fight in the middle of NYC, while Michael Holt, the current Mr. Terrific, analyzes the re-dead bodies of Earth-2 Superman and Psycho Pirate. The implications of Blackest Night are so far reaching, that in a mere four panels, they make Power Girl go from remembering that Superman was her Cousin, to thinking he was her Uncle. Man, Nekron is EVIL! Michael comes up with a plan, but doesn't divulge it, and sends Flash out to grab Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Dr. Fate, Lightning, and Stargirl. He comes back with all of them, and apparently accidentally brought Cyclone back too, just for funsies. Jesse "Liberty Belle" Quick begins a face off with her dear old undead dad, and Powergirl speeds off to defend Ma Hunkel from BL Lois Lane while BL Damage tears a civilian's heart out literally and Atom Smasher's heart out figuratively. With that, it's "to be continued…"
Blackest Night #6: The cover says "The New Guardians", but Ram, Jet, Extrano, Gloss, Floro, and, er, Betty are nowhere in sight. That's right; our rainbow-colored alliance of Lanterns are here and ready to . . . run like hell? At least that's what Hal has to do, as there's a black ring with his name on it. If you recall, last issue ended with Nekron taking over a slew of resurrected heroes and sending rings after both Hal and Barry. As we open in Coast City, both good guys are still playing Dodge 'Em.
Hal picks up a GL Corps merit badge for "Historian" with his succinct recap of how all the resurrected/BL heroes originally died and came back, though he does skip a couple that seem to be otherwise occupied (Tora, Buddy . . . Hal's got no love for you). Barry thinks fast (it's what he does, kids) and pulls Hal two seconds into the future to shake the black rings.
Miles away, inside Damage, Deadman manages to take over BL Jean Loring Eclipso for a few seconds to allow the Atom (Ray Palmer flavor) and Mera (any remark regarding anything remotely resembling fish flavor is sure to either be edited or get me tweeted about by humorless, self-important bloggers, so I'll…oh, what the hell. Leave it, Lucas; it's just more hits) to escape. Since the Black Lantern rings are all connected (), Atom and Mera jump out of . . . BL Wonder Woman's ring and right into the Coast City fray. Two clever points to Geoff for making that all work out.
Going back to our earlier mention of "running like hell", that's what John Stewart is doing in space. Remember how he spent several issues of this mini approaching Xanshi, which was sure to be loaded with damn dirty zombies? Yeah. In GL, he found 'em. And now they're after his GL ass and headed straight for Earth. Sure, he could probably try to swerve and get them to attack Venus, but I don't think they're gonna buy that one.
On the ground, Mera gets red with rage as she prepares to throw down with BL Diana. THAT is interesting, since you may recall that the Morrison-era JLA frequently flirted with possible couple-dom between WW and Aquaman. Is Mera not only enraged but . . . jealous? Where would jealousy fit in the emotional spectrum? Jealousy is the "green-eyed" monster, but will is green. Greed is kind of like jealousy, since jealousy is about wanting something you don't have. But as it is, Mera may be all "Uh-huh, no Marble Girl's puttin' her hands on MY Aquaman", so I suppose that Rage will do just fine.
By now, Barry and Hal are back, and the Color Gu—sigh—New Guardians realize that they're going to need the combined might of ALL the Corps ALL together to break the big Black Lantern. Knowing that they need more color gun, Ganthet deputizes himself and becomes, after eons of being a Guardian, a Green Lantern. Ganthet uses the self-replicating emergency system inherent in the various rings to get the other jewelry to pop out MORE multi-hued rings that would "deputize" other sentient beings for each corps for up to 24 hours. So, some of those earlier cameos? Payoff time.
Blue Lantern? One hopeful Barry Allen; I can only assume that this was because Barry was closer than Barack, which is sure to disappoint Caleb. Red Lantern? One angry Mera. Indigo Tribe? The compassionate Ray Palmer, who has had to come to terms with the sentence, "Sorry that my wife stepped on your wife's brain." Sinestro Corps? Scarecrow, perhaps the only guy on Earth more appropriate than Lee Ving. Orange? The rather inspired choice of Lex Luthor.
And love? Life's sweetest reward? The ring goes to Wonder Woman, breaking the BL connection and providing her with an outfit that Hippolyta probably wouldn't approve of ("You go out dressed like that? What's Man's World going to think? You're supposed to teach peace, not give it away.").
So, by the end, faster than you can say "Care Bear Stare", we've got NEW New Guardians, complete with power rings, all already possessing super-abilities, and at least two more waves of DC Direct figures using pre-existing body molds.
Where does that leave us? Next month is a skip month for the regular big mini, but there will be the eight "returning series" that fill the month with one-shots. You'll see "The Atom and Hawkman", "Phantom Stranger", "The Question", "Starman", "Weird Western Tales", "The Power of Shazam!", "Suicide Squad" and "Catwoman". Some people have accused DC of doing this as a cynical marketing stunt. I can prove it isn't. Do you see "Blackest Night: Sonic Disruptors"? Well there you go.

Even from beyond the grave, Seve Ballesteros has lost none of his capacity to fascinate or infuriate. He is commensurate perhaps only with Ayrton Senna as one whose cult of personality has somehow been enriched in death.
From the silhouettes of his victory dance emblazoned across the bags of Europe's Ryder Cup winners, to the film of his Pedreña childhood that British director John-Paul Davidson intends to release this year, he is a figure sanctified, deified and all but beatified. Merely the sight of his eldest son Javier, taking a leave from legal training in Madrid to play in his honour at last month's Dubai Desert Classic, reduced José-María Olazábal to tears.
It seems quite extraordinary, then, that the European Tour, a body that arguably would not have existed but for Ballesteros's transcendent flamboyance, now seems intent on eroding part of the work he bequeathed and affronting the sensitivities of his entire family. The cause? Its sanctioning of the inaugural EurAsia Trophy in Malaysia next month, brazenly plagiarising the formula of Seve's beloved Royal Trophy, created in 2006 with his prophecy that it could become "one of the world's best sporting events". Its rationale for such a snub? Why, money, of course.
Lest we be in any doubt, the Royal Trophy has long since shed its original pretensions to greatness. It is a tinpot contest, lurching from one south-east Asian outpost to the next, squirrelled away in the arid extremities of the December schedule at a time when most of Europe's premier golfers would far rather be luxuriating in a Florida Christmas. But its perceived status is hardly the point when it comes to the crassness of the European Tour's decision. For Ballesteros is a figure as close to unimpeachable as the sport possesses this side of Bobby Jones. And, peculiarly or otherwise, he made it all but his last will and testament that the Royal Trophy should not be replicated in any form.
"It has a very special place in my heart," Ballesteros wrote in a letter in 2010, after he had spent 72 days in hospital undergoing treatment for brain cancer. "It is a legacy of mine that I passionately desire to leave for future generations. We have been informed by the European Tour that the Asian Tour is interested in developing an event in this very same format. This would certainly not meet the standards of morality and fairness which are the trademark of our sport."
The final wishes of a dying man, coupled with a plaintive appeal to morality: this is a potent combination of forces for the suits at Wentworth to be riding roughshod over. One wonders how the incorrigibly pompous George O'Grady, the European Tour's chief executive, could have had the gall to claim – as he did last year – that Seve would have "cherished" the EurAsia Trophy, a flagrant imitation of his own precious concept.
At least a couple of withering responses from the keepers of the Ballesteros estate soon put him straight. "I am certain that Seve would have found his proposal to be in very bad taste," said brother Vicente, who once caddied for the five-time major champion. "Personally, I find it incredible that anyone takes the liberty to talk on Seve's behalf. I never imagined some people could go so far." Ballesteros's nephew Iván went further, calling O'Grady's remarks "completely untrue". He argued: "Seve would not have cherished this. I am certain he would have despised it."
Iván was in the position of uniquely privileged knowledge, given that he was essentially his uncle's chief carer and confidant in those heartbreaking last months at Ballesteros's sprawling house above the Bay of Santander. I found him a gentle, unruffled type when he invigilated in my interview with Seve, by then shockingly frail, in June 2010, so for him to be so profoundly angered attests to the ineptitude of the Tour's handling of this issue.
It is doubly remarkable that one of Ballesteros's fellow Spaniards, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, should have agreed to be Europe's captain in Kuala Lumpur, in a match that bulldozes right across his friend's stated design. The Tour purports that it needs the cheque, that it has to keep indulging the Asian dragon to stay solvent in a crowded market, but this particular cash grab is surely its most craven and misguided yet.
I, for one, will recoil the next time O'Grady starts one of his signature pontifications about Seve as the father of European golf. For as long as it counterfeits an idea of which Ballesteros was uncommonly proud, any grand tributes will sound decidedly hollow.

Ciudad Juarez - Police in this border city repented on Thursday over ticketing a 6-year-old boy for reckless driving, driving without a licence and not having his vehicle registered after he drove his miniature motorbike into an SUV.
The boy's mother, Karla Noriega, said police impounded the miniature petrol-powered motorbike that her son got for Christmas after he crashed into an SUV on December 27.
Noriega decided to go to the media and make the case public after finding out she would have to pay what she called a "ridiculous" $183 in fines to recover the toy motorbike.
City council Secretary Hector Arceluz said on Thursday that authorities had dropped the fines, released the motorbike and would punish the police officers for having acted improperly.
Noriega's son Gael was happy to get his minibike back, but said it no longer works after the accident.
Damn! Story started out so positive, but they had to drop the charges...
Sounds completely correct to me. They might scale down on the charges because he's a first offender and all kinds of nonsense, and even do away with the confiscation part, but he should be held accountable (or more correctly, his parents).
If he got hurt his parents would have blamed the SUV driver?
Wow, who will win the idiot award? The nominees are: The parents for buying their kid a petrol motorbike, the cops for trying to fine a 6-year old because it wasn't licensed (instead of the parents) or the parents again for trying to get it back after their child proved it was unsafe after smashing it to pieces against some poor bloke's SUV. And the winner is...
The police
I guess News24 had nothing else to report on so they went and found this nonsense somewhere. Why is this even being reported on?

This summer, Simon and I have calculated that we hiked over 100 hours, and 500+ km this summer. Definitely not a record (hard to hike when trails are closed due to the snowpack!). But definitely discovered some new and spectacular hikes, that's for sure!
One that really got us excited was the Skyline trail in Jasper National Park, Alberta.
Jasper is home to so many of my favourite hikes, and this one quickly rose to the top of the top. And, so did we.
Climbing 1,380 metres, this hike gave us some pretty amazing scenes of Maligne Glacier and Mountain Range. Most people complete this trail as an overnight backpacking trip. Unfortunately, Simon and I are not equipped for overnight backpacking, but we did get a good taste of the trail, by hiking the 10km in to Little Shovel Pass.
We began the hike at the end of Maligne Lake Road (48km from the town). After a gentle rise in a beautiful forest, we passed both Lorraine and Mona Lakes. After that, the incline increased and the trail opened up. This is where it went from very pretty, to BAM – stunning! The 360 degree view of the mountains were jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and we were lucky enough to time it perfectly with the peak of the wildflowers.
If we were to complete the trail, it comes out about 8km from the townsite, on the same road. The trail is 44km from one end to the other, so in order for us to attempt this in one day, a ride to the trailhead is a must…or we need to drink a ton of Red Bull.
But the dream is there.
(and hopefully we will see the endangered woodland caribou when we do hike it again)
– Jill

As entrepreneurs, it's of utmost importance to keep your commercial property safe and secure. In order to ensure maximum security of your business property, below are some helpful business security tips; courtesy of Expert Locksmith in Alexandra
Replace worn down, old keysYou should replace the keys to your business if they are old or worn down, it's highly beneficial if the keys are replaced as soon as possible. No other key can open a lock except the teeth of the key is sharpened, and the tumbler is able to move inside the lock. If you'd need to jiggle the key to open the lock, then it's a sign that the key is worn down. It could be embarrassing to discover that you're unable to open or lock your doors at an uncomfortable time due to worn out key.
Install an alarm door
With an alarm door, you can easily prevent unauthorized entry and exit, even without having to frequently monitor the doors. For instance, if you install a stand-alone alarm on a back door of your retail outlet, it can prevent 'thieves' from walking out of the outlet unnoticed with items. A door alarm is also helpful in allowing you to know the number of times a customer enters your business premises even if you aren't near the door.
Rekey your locks at regular intervals
If you're the owner or manager of a business, it's most likely you'd have workers; and because workers trend is always on a come-and-go basis, it then becomes expedient that all the locks MUST be rekeyed regularly after your old workers might have handed the keys over to you. You need to do this so as to ensure none of the keys is copied or goes to a wrong hand.
Installing a video intercom system is ideal
A video intercom system is another great way to step up the security level of your business. A video intercom system has full video capabilities that allow you to see who's at the door. You can zoom in and out, move the camera around and record people's movement to and from the premises. This allows you to take record of all the activities happening at your door.
Switch to high security keys
Replace your old regular keys with new high security set of keys. Using high security keys will increase your business security because they can't be duplicated by anyone except the locksmith company that sold the keys to you.

The secretive all-party panel that oversees House spending and administration will meet behind closed doors to discuss how to handle the allegations of personal misconduct lodged against Liberal MPs Scott Andrews and Massimo Pacetti by two unnamed New Democrat MPs.
A few hours after the in camera session is set to take place, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau Justin Trudeau will get the first chance to promote his bid to hold future Board of Internal Economy meetings in public, which is scheduled to undergo an opening round of debate this evening.
Before that discussion gets underway, however, MPs will spend the day discussing the government's efforts to expand the power of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) -- which would include, among other changes, a loosening of the current restrictions on keeping tabs on suspected terrorists who travel outside Canada -- which could be dispatched to committee as early as Wednesday if the Conservatives choose to invoke time allocation.
Meanwhile, the fine print and footnotes of the annual fall budget bill will go under the microscope at four separate committees -- Finance, Human Resources, Natural Resources and Industry -- as the countdown to the pre-Christmas legislative blitz begins in earnest.
One particularly controversial provision in the 400-plus page bill has raised serious concerns for Canada Without Poverty, the group has convened a mid-morning press conference to outline its opposition to the proposal to allow provinces to impose minimum residency requirements for access to social assistance, a move that they fear will hurt newly settled refugees who, in the words of the media advisory, "already struggle to get by."
Elsewhere on the committee front:
- Procedure and House Affairs members consult House of Commons IT officials, expert witnesses from the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories and the National Assembly of Quebec and newly installed Canadian Taxpayers Federation director Aaron Wudrick as they consider the pros and cons of NDP MP Kennedy Stewart's bid to bring electronic petitions to the Commons floor.
- The government's proposed victims' bill of rights remains in the spotlight at Justice, where MPs are scheduled to hear from more victim support and advocacy groups.
Also this morning: representatives from anti-child marriage activists Girls Not Brides share their collective and respective perspectives at Foreign Affairs, which will also hear from the United Nations Population Fund, Plain International Canada Inc. and CARE Canada as committee members continue their study on the protection of children and youth in developing countries.
After the meeting wraps up, the United Population Fund will release a new report: "The Power of 1.8 Billion: Adolescents, Youth and the Transformation of the Future."
Later today, the Girls Not Brides delegation will take part in a "special ceremony and announcement" alongside Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird.
Also hitting the parliamentary media circuit today:
- The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations meet with MPs and senators as part of a campaign that calls for "reforms" to "keep student debt from becoming family debt."
- The Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Sciences launches a new, career-focused website.
Outside the precinct, Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and International Trade Minister Ed Fast mark what the advisory notes is the "14th Annual Mining Day" by making a joint appearance at a Mining Association of Canada-hosted "Hill luncheon," where the pair is slated to "deliver keynote remarks and make an announcement."
Elsewhere in the capital, Public Works Minister Diane Finley will "engage with industry" the Canadian Aerospace Summit, which is billed as "Canada's leading aerospace event," while Finance Minister Joe Oliver "addresses municipal leaders" as the Federation of Canadian Municipalities hosts its annual "advocacy day."
Finally, Minister of State for Science Ed Holder is slated to speak at the Mitacs Awards Reception, which will also be attended by several of his cabinet colleagues, including Minister of State for FedDev Gary Goodyear, Minister of State for Sport Bal Gosal and National Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay.

Many people confuse babysitters and nannies, or think that all nannies do is to watch the kids while mom is away. Nannies can be very frustrated with this misconception. They may have issues when they try to articulate the difference.
Even parents can sometimes treat caregivers as glorified babysitters. Here are a few ways to distinguish between your au pair and a regular babysitter.

Carol, HRZ-1038, from Surya's Horizon collection, has a pile height of 0.4". It does not require a pad, but it is highly recommended that you get a rug pad.

Every great product needs a quality base, and that goes for pizza more than most. All of the flour used in our sourdough pizza bases, garlic bread, wraps and rolls is from one source of organic flour, and that's Shipton Mill in the Cotswolds. There's been a mill on the site of Shipton Mill since the time of the Doomsday Book, and that's a great reason for them to hold on to a great tradition.
Our sourdough is made from the same culture in all our restaurants, that's to say that there's a bit of the original dough starter from our Bridport Stable in all of our sourdough around the country. Our traditions are important to us too, so it makes sense that we use the best ingredients for our bases and bread, and that means using an organic flour from Shipton Mill.
The Traditional Organic White Flour we buy from Shipton Mill uses a blend of the British-grown, but now-rare Maris Widgeon wheat, combined with continental grains. This gives the flour a distinct quality and flavour, perfect for topping with our unique selection of Westcountry and Welsh ingredients. It's just one of the reasons that our pizzas are unique and of great quality.
Andy, one of the original founders, and Executive Head Chef of The Stable says "Great quality organic flour is an important starting point for an artisan sourdough, and our pizzas just wouldn't be the same if we used any old flour".

Well, we have survived Sandy and the 1st Blizzard of the season. In addition we have passed GO for Obama 2.0. In the slowly deflating wake of the housing crisis, bank bailout and steroid injection, the States now face the 2nd greatest hurdle of the century: The Fiscal Cliff. For those unaware this event is to happen in January. So if the Mayans have it wrong, we are in for the Storm of the Century, where millions will be walking off the money cliff to give the monster what it wants, and hopefully it goes away. The estimation so far is a face-slapping $4500 per person -not household- taxation to cover the cost of the financial hole-in-the-head. This could create another Hooverville situation, seen just a meager 85 years ago at the crest of the Great Depression. In short, folks already strapped are about to be fit-to-be-tied.
It is by no means a secret, the States deeply control or effect the financial and global trade system of both profit and debt. My interest, though, lies with Technology. In the last four years the Fed and private sector have been laying a foundation for many tech related industries --from eduction to green energy and beyond. Could this crisis push the business minded population into a Web 3.0 or result in a new Dot Com era by enabling a mass migration of digital enterprise? Will the small, developing private tech sector be able to flex itself, even with the stinger of 4,500 a plate, and how will Angel, Small Cap or Exit Venture Capital companies balance the flood for two years?
Your thoughts..
On what basis do you think a whole lot of people getting a huge tax bill will have this effect?
On this morning reports -especially from the Street, Motley Fool, etc.
I am asking why/how they think that will happen.
1) Gov take all my money
2) ??????
3) Online business!!!
For starters the typical product manufacturing cost and import-export will slow down greatly. To compensate, technology based sales or online business could increase, due to reduced overhead, workforce, etc. The upside is domestic development, for domestic use -which has been looming//increasing as China and Taiwan's production decreases.
The big question is will the private tech sector have the cash to sustain the start-ups and what VC will do to boost this, possibly resulting in a new Dot Com era. Remembering the dot Com generation popped just as the bush era began and all hell broke loose as oil-gas, home manufacturing/inflation and war contracts sucked all the air out of the bubble.
Online sales? Shipping costs will kill that. Watch. Think local/regional.
Domestic shipping is very affordable. But, yes, international shipping can get costly. Still, from the massive reduction in overhead, I think that issue is balanced in the equation.
ps, great username!
Affordable for now. Fuel prices are going up. I am just trying to get people to think regional for identity and strength. When communities are strong, the nation is strong.
Thanks. We will see how long I last. I am having trouble with this format. That's why I am wasting time instead of doing an article.
None of that has anything to do with the fiscal cliff, so I guess you just put that in the subject line by mistake.
sigh, bad guess. <wink>
Well, then I don't think you are masking yourself clear. People who have less money do less business. So I don't see how people losing more money will cause them to do more of any kind of business.
I'd like to see where you are getting this information.
And whether it is in addition to the 15% of my income I'm already flushing down the toilet by giving to the government.
I have been following the fiscal situation for a while. As said, the Street, Motley Fool, etc.
Yes, it is an addition.
With the Bush Administration tax cuts [which were bogus, inflammatory war funding tactics to begin with] expiring, as well as mandatory Fed spending cut, coupled with the floundering GPD, the "Cliff" would cause a per personal taxation of 4500 -respectively- to close the gap. This translates that more "traditional" blue collar manufacturing position would decrease and open the doors for a technological boom.
But, my hindsight -and tech insider- info thinks this could benefit the tech sector beyond generation Dot Com, by enabling a massive move into technology based businesses, which are smaller, more productive, with less work force and overhead costs.
Like it or not, Angel, VC, etc is going to play a huge factor, versus typical SBA, in keeping the economics moving. As banks are, well, banks. lol.
I looked around just yesterday for a white horse. Saw a fuzzy grayish looking stallion. The problem was the stallion was operated out of some NIC. Then I got it. We are beginning to think that "home based business" are technology based. Wrong. Home based businesses are entrepreneurial based and technology is one of many components that go into that. Technology must remain a tool and not a master.

Profit and size of beef cow herds may be largely determined by the pasture available during the hot summer months. With low forage production from natural pastures and undependable growing conditions, the number of animals that can be grazed on a particular area must be limited in order to minimize risks of having a pasture shortage which would mean selling animals or purchasing additional forage. In Virginia we have primarily cool-season grasses in our natural pastures. Much of our spring pasture is wasted because we cannot stock heavy enough to utilize this early season growth when quality is high and yet not have too many animals for summertime pasture. Grazing tall-growing, perennial, warm-season forage grasses such as Caucasian bluestem (CB) shows exciting promise for filling this production gap in June through September. Once established, the stand can remain indefinitely if managed properly. However, we must learn to manage and utilize this grass in a totally different manner than we have practiced in the past with cool-season grasses such as tall fescue, orchardgrass, and bluegrass. Our reward, however, can be the availability of excellent forage for summer grazing with great dependability year after year.
First green up does not occur until 8 weeks after green up of the cool-season grasses. CB will be ready for pasture by late May in the Piedmont and early June in southwest Virginia. This warm-season grass is capable of growing on low pH soils (as low as 5.2), medium phosphorus and potash soil, and with less nitrogen than is required for cool-season grasses or bermudagrass. Productivity during what we consider in Virginia as low rainfall periods is remarkable. This grass produces excellent forage for livestock in the midwest where average rainfall is less than what we receive in our driest years anywhere in Virginia. Seldom in Virginia do we have a year when we do not have a total recharge of soil moisture to a depth that plant roots will be growing. This means that if we start with excellent soil water content in mid May we should never have a year when this warm-season grass will not give dramatically more production than any of our cool-season grasses during the summer.
Seed variety and quality
There are no varieties of CB, so purchase seed from reputable dealers. The seeds are very fluffy when harvested. Unless you have a drill with a special grassland seed attachment, you need to purchase "debearded" seeds. After the seeds are debearded, they are still more bulky than orchardgrass and must be mixed with an inert carrier in order to obtain uniform delivery through the small grain or fertilizer metering device on a drill. The CB can be spread with fertilizer using a spinner or drop spreader, but the seeds are so light that even a slight wind will cause possible poor distribution. Close spacing of passes with spinner spreaders is needed.
CB is very difficult to test for purity and germination, in part because of a wide range of seed maturity. Seeds in a seed head mature over a long time span. Time of harvest and weather conditions can influence the degree of seed maturity from different parts of the seed head. Thus shriveled seeds cannot be removed in the cleaning process. Purchase your seeds based on a pure live seed (PLS) basis from a reputable dealer. A PLS of greater than 50% would be ideal. PLS is calculated as % purity times % germination divided by 100. Thus 70% purity and 70% germination equals 49% PLS.
There are between 800,000 and 1,000,000 seeds per lb of pure seed depending on how much "fluff" was removed during the debearding process. A "ragdoll" germination test can be used to confirm seed viability. Only an experienced seed analyst can identify a seed, so a typical test using 100 seeds is not easily done for determining percentage germination. A "ragdoll test" can be used if a sensitive scale is available to weigh the seed instead of counting a definite quantity. Instead of counting seeds, you can use 100 mg of bulk seed. Be sure to select a uniform representative sample. A wet towel with a firm texture is ideal. Squeeze most of the water out of the towel. Place the 100 mg of seed on the moist paper towel. Fold the towel and roll it into a small tube. Place the "ragdoll" tube in a plastic bag with a zip closure. Place the "ragdoll" in a warm place (75 to 85oF is ideal). After about 4 days remove and count the seedlings. Repeat the count at 8 to 12 days. In order to confirm that your "ragdoll" is working properly, place some good viable seed of alfalfa, millet, or any other plant in a similar "ragdoll." If the good viable seed germinates, you can have confidence that the "ragdoll" will test CB germination properly. This test will give results that should relate to PLS. If the bulk seed has 50% PLS, then there would be about 100 potential seedlings in the 100 mg of bulk seed in the "ragdoll."
Seeding rate and inert carrier
A seeding rate of 2 lb PLS/acre is recommended. This rate will give about 1.8 million seeds/acre or about 41 seeds per square foot. The lb of bulk seed needed can be calculated (lb bulk seed/acre = 2 divided by PLS when PLS is expressed as a decimal value). For example, if PLS is 50% then 4 lb of bulk seed is needed per acre (2 / 0.5 = 4). Three or four seedlings per sq. ft. at the end of the season will be an adequate stand.
A carrier of soybean oil meal (SOM) and triple superphosphate (TSP) can be used so the fluffy seed will pass through the small grain metering device. The SOM gives a little "lubrication" and reduces the harshness of the material being delivered through the small grain box. The TSP gives some concentrated weight which helps move the seed/carrier mixture. Prepare the carrier mixture with a 50:50 ratio by weight of SOM and TSP. The amount of carrier needed per lb of bulk seed will depend on how thoroughly the seed was processed while being debearded. The more debearding of the seed, the more flowable the seed will be and the less carrier will be needed. A 1:19 ratio of bulk seed to carrier is a place to start. Thus if 4 lb of bulk seed are needed per acre then 80 lb of mix (39 lb of SOM and 39 lb of TSP) would be needed. The TSP in this mix will provide 17 lb of P2O5 (0-44-0) per acre. Drill calibration is important. Having a large volume and weight of seed/carrier mix to use makes calibration and uniform delivery easier than just using seed alone. Seed and carrier can be stored as a mixture.
Seeding depth and planting
Ideal seeding depth is less than 1/4 inch. Seeds are more often placed too deep than too shallow. A firm soil under the seed is essential. Broadcasting seeds onto a granular surface of a conventional seed bed and cultipacking would be adequate. If a grain drill is used to put the seeds in rows, then create a very shallow furrow and drop the seeds behind the disk openers so that the major soil coverage is caused by the press wheels. Succeeding rain will help cover the seeds.
For no-till planting a good grain drill often can be used since a trashy surface is not desirable. If a no-till drill is used, be sure that the leading coulter does not push trash into the furrow (hair pinning) without slicing through cleanly. You should delay the planting until the soil surface is rather dry. Creating a granular soil structure as the disk opener passes will give an ideal place for the seeds to drop. Arrange the delivery tube to drop the seed just behind the double disk opener if possible. A narrow press wheel or center ribbed-wheel will cover and firm the soil adequately. A rainfall will finish the coverage. Plantings made into quite dry soil have been successful because of favorable moisture below the surface when no-till practices have been used.
Date of planting
CB needs a warm soil to germinate. It should be planted at about the same time as millet and sorghum-sudan or later (June 10 to July 10). Plant earlier if the field's weed potential is minimal. Planting CB in early July provides enough time for seedlings to develop a strong root system and begin forming daughter tillers. Formation of daughter tillers should indicate that a plant will survive the winter. Planting as late as possible will allow time to kill more weeds and lessen competition from unwanted vegetation. Also, the soil surface is more likely to be dry if CB is planted in June. CB planted by mid June can accumulate 2 to 3 ton/acre of hay by mid October. Seed heads will develop viable seeds in the establishment year if planted by about July 1.
Selecting the field
CB does well on a wide variety of soil types. Unlike cool season grasses, it is drought-tolerant and produces well on shallow, rocky soils. Because no-till seeding is ideal for CB, steep slopes can be planted without having to deal with such tillage problems as soil erosion and rock exposure. It is important when planting steep slopes to select a drill or make the necessary adjustments so that the disk opener follows the leading coulter. Drills having a fixed position, unitized coulter-disk opener assembly are preferred. If planting conditions are favorable, only the disk opener action is needed.
Soil pH should be 5.2 or above. If soil tests indicate medium or higher P2O5 and K2O, then no fertilizer is needed at planting. No nitrogen should be applied at planting; however, if a good weed-free stand is obtained by early August, then 30 to 40 lb of N/acre can be applied on fields where growth is slow and plants are a pale yellow color from nitrogen deficiency. CB is a good scavenger of nutrients; therefore, N is seldom needed in the establishment year.
Previous annual crop
Weeds can be a major obstacle for CB establishment, especially summer annuals, such as barnyard grass, crabgrass, foxtail, and also fall panic grass. These can be reduced by planning ahead. One year before planting CB, a smother crop such as dwarf pearl millet can be planted in the summer, followed by a cereal grain in the winter. Since foxtail (German) millet is a one-cut crop, dwarf pearl millet is preferred as a smother crop. It will grow longer and give several grazings or two hay cuts. If some growth remains on the millet during winter, a cereal grain cover crop may not be needed. If used, the cereal grain can be grazed or cut for hay by late April or mid May so that regrowth or weeds, if any, can be easily controlled before planting.
Soybean, corn, or small grains can be used as a previous crop. If corn was harvested for grain, the stalks may need to be raked and bailed to eliminate excess trash. A cereal grain could be planted after corn is removed for silage if a winter cover crop is needed. One year prior to CB planting, a field should be plowed or chisel plowed, if needed, to bury excess trash, increase infiltration, or smooth the land where it is too rough for operating machinery.
Minimize surface residue
As with no-till alfalfa and other small-seeded forages, CB cannot be planted into very much surface residue. Many perennial grasses in pastures or hay fields accumulate too much trash which prevents good seed to soil contact. The trash often is pushed down in front of the coulter and seed is placed in the fold (hair pinning). About 50 percent or more bare ground is desirable before planting. Burning surface trash is ideal if it is dense enough to carry a fire. When properly timed, the burn will kill small weeds and be equivalent to the use of an herbicide. Local fire departments, soil conservation units, or forestry service personnel may be sources of help in safe burning.
Previous sod crop
Graze the area as close as possible or make hay during the first week of May. If the area cannot be grazed then an herbicide may be needed in early April to prevent excess growth. About mid May, when adequate leaf area has developed on the vegetation, spray with glyphosate (Roundup) or Gramoxone. If you use low gallonage technology, then 2 quarts per acre (2 lb a.i.) will be adequate. Gramoxone at 1.5 pints/acre plus surfactant can be used if the weeds and grasses present can be controlled with this contact herbicide. About 4 to 6 weeks later or as close to the day of planting as possible, spray again. Gramoxone at 1 pint/acre should be sufficient for the second spray. If persistent weeds or perennial grasses are present, use a second application of glyphosate. As mentioned earlier, excess trash is a problem where fields cannot be grazed. Use of a herbicide followed by burning is an ideal combination. Glyphosate in mid April or paraquat in early May will cause desiccation of vegetation by mid May that can be burned. Then 3 to 4 weeks later another application of herbicide can be used immediately before planting. Each field condition requires specific herbicide procedures, so obtain information from a qualified individual for recommendations.
Seeding into a conventional seedbed
Field operations typically used for other small seeded forages can be used to prepare a clean seedbed. Be sure that the soil is especially firm. If a pickup truck driven over the field leaves a noticeable wheel track depression, then more packing may be needed. Conventional seeding may not be ideal because tillage will cause the soil to lose moisture in the warm dry weather during mid June when these operations are needed. Seed can be broadcast and then cultipacked. Seed placement in rows with a grain drill would be ideal. Seed should be placed no deeper than 1/4 inch. Consider cultipacking after drill planting in order to obtain good seed-soil contact. Weed problems may be greater than with no-till plantings since germinable seed will be brought to the soil surface during tillage. Grassy weeds can be controlled to some extent by clipping at a height just above the CB seedlings. Broadleaf weeds can be controlled by clipping or with 2,4-D applied only after the CB seedlings are in the 4th leaf stage. Use the lowest rate of 2,4-D possible and wait as long as possible before spraying in order to allow CB seedlings to gain as much vigor as possible.
No-till planting
No-till seeding methods conserve soil, require less time and fuel, and allow rocks to remain below the soil surface. Proper procedures will reduce water run-off and evaporation, which improves the water supply to the seedling. If herbicides are used to suppress existing vegetation during 6 to 8 weeks before planting, there will be adequate water for rapid germination.
A standard grain can be used if there is minimal trash and the soil is soft, such as when planting into a previous soybean, corn, millet, or cereal grain crop. A drag chain and packer wheel should follow each drill opener. If needed, a cultipacker should be used to firm the soil. With no-till methods, it is tempting to plant when the soil is too wet and seed is placed too deep. Ideally, the soil surface should be rather dry. When trash is dry and soil is firm, the disk or coulter can cut a clean seed slot without hair pinning. Some granular soil should result from the disk opener. Seed should be placed on top of granular soil or less than 1/4 inch deep. Rainfall can wash soil to fill the furrow left by the disk opener and cover the seed much deeper than when originally planted. Germination and emergence will occur in 5 to 7 days when the soil is warm and moist.
Insect concerns
Grasshoppers, crickets, corn flea beetles, and other insects can be a problem with seedlings. When all green plant food is killed with herbicides, hungry insects may cause damage to new seedlings. Horse nettle is a host for corn flea beetle. If small pin size holes appear in horse nettle leaves, then corn flea beetles are in the field. No insecticide has label clearance for use on CB because low usage does not provide an economic incentive for a company to do the necessary testing. However, research data have shown a consistent advantage to the use of a granular systemic insecticide placed in the row with the seed at planting. Counter (20 G formulation) is effective at 1/2 lb a.i. per acre. Careful monitoring of early seedling growth is essential. If seedlings become unthrifty or have necrotic streaks along the leaf, then an insecticide may be needed.
Post emergence management
Grassy weed competition can be minimized by clipping above the leaves of seedlings. Broadleaf weeds can be controlled with light rates of 2,4-D and/or Banvel, but apply only after the seedlings have 4 fully expanded leaves. If CB seedlings are developing daughter tillers, spraying is safe. Delay the use of herbicides as long as weeds are not competitive for light or soil water in order to reduce the potential for seedling damage.
Growth by mid August may be 15 to 25 inches tall. At this time, cattle could be used to graze enough to remove about half the leaf area. Once frost has killed the leaves, cattle can graze without restriction or harvest for hay. The fine stems and leaves will have low protein, but will provide considerable value as stockpiled forage.
Management of established stands
An herbicide can be used any time weeds are a problem in an established stand. Research has shown established CB to be very tolerant of simazine; however, there is no label clearance for its use. Simazine at 2 lb a.i./acre applied in early May has been effective for weed control. Simazine can be applied after CB has developed leaf area with no concern for foliar burn. If perennial, triazine-tolerant broadleaf weeds are present, a tank mix that includes 2,4-D and/or Banvel can be used whenever target weeds are susceptible.
Hay harvest
First hay harvest should be taken at late boot stage of development. This will occur by June 15 to 25. Cutting at 3 to 4 inches will benefit regrowth. Cutting closer will not give much more hay value because few leaves remain on the stubble. A second hay cut can be expected in early August. If not to be grazed, a third hay harvest should be made about 2 weeks before the first frost date.
Maintenance fertility
Apply phosphate and potash as needed to maintain medium soil test levels. Applications may not be needed especially if CB is used for grazing, since animals return most of the nutrients as manure and urine. Where early season growth is slow and yellowish, or maximum first growth is needed, then nitrogen applied at 50 lb/acre may be needed in mid May. Nitrogen may be needed at about 50 lb/acre after the first hay cut, after the first time a paddock is rotationally grazed, or in late June if continuously grazed. Apply limestone when soil test is below pH 5.2.
Grazing management
Grazing can begin about June 5 to 10. Growth is very rapid for the first few weeks. Begin grazing when there is about 8 inches of growth. First time grazing should begin early enough that growth doesn't become too tall before all areas have been grazed once. Cattle can graze to leave a 3- to 4-inch stubble. Controlled rotational grazing is the best management. Begin early and initially rotate often. About 25 days are needed after grazing for about 10 to 12 inches of regrowth before grazing a paddock again. If the next paddock is ready for grazing before the current paddock is adequately grazed, consider making hay and skipping to another paddock in the sequence. Continue grazing until late September if growth is adequate. Regrowth during September and October can be grazed as stockpiled forage without restriction after frost kills leaves.
Regrowth of CB from each hay harvest or grazing will develop seedheads, whereas cool-season species develop seedheads only once during initial growth in the spring. Animal gains can be excellent if adequate amounts of vegetative forage is available for grazing, which is the same consideration as for cool-season species. Protein concentration when beginning to graze a paddock was generally above 9 % during 1993 and 1994 except in late June when cattle could not keep up with growth in the first cycle (Fig. 1). Better control of grazing would prevent protein being less than 8%. For 4 years, steers at the Glade Springs Research Station have gained a remarkable 3 lb/head/day for several weeks during the summer on CB. A farmer in Missouri produced 469 lb live weight per acre on steers (2.4 lb/head/day) during June to mid August. Then he harvested seed from the area (700 acres). In the fall he grazed the area after frost where he had 3000 lb/acre of stockpiled forage.
Productivity for 100 days under controlled grazing can be estimated at about 240 animal unit days (AUD) per acre. Note that in 1993 CB produced 288 AUD/acre and in 1994 there were 300 AUD/acre in an experiment near Blacksburg (Table 1). Continuous grazing would be expected to produce less than with controlled rotational grazing, unless the stocking rate was high and cattle were moved to other pasture during any time period that CB was grazed to about 3 to 4 inches. If such management were possible, then the grazing practice takes on some degree of "control."
|Table 1. Caucasian bluestem (CB) grazing data for 1993, 1994, and 1995. All cattle were grazed on switchgrass when adequate CB was not available. Cattle included steers (beginning weight range 800 to 1100 lb/hd) and in 1994 some dry dairy cows (avg. wt. of 1240 lb/hd).

**Beef steers gain in ( ).
1In 1995, steers were removed on Aug. 23 to be used for another study. An additional 30 days of grazing gave estimated gain per acre and AUD per acre. Actual gain by Aug. 23 was 456 lb./acre, with 224 AUD/acre.
An estimate of the number of acres needed for a herd of cattle (or how many cattle are needed per acre) should be based on animal units (AU). One AU is considered as one mature nonlactating cow maintaining a body weight of 1000 lb (no gain or loss of weight). This requires 17.6 lb of feed intake per day (1.76 percent of body weight) if the source of feed is 60 % digestible (10.6 lb TDN). Each class or size of animal will have an AU requirement that will depend mainly on body weight, lactation, and daily gain or loss of body weight. Information is available that gives these estimated AU values. When AU needs of the herd or desired group of cattle are determined, then an estimate is needed of the AU productivity of one acre of CB.
Consider the following example
A pasture that produces 240 animal unit days (AUD) per acre in 100 days would provide 2.4 AU per day per acre if growth was uniform during the entire grazing period. This is equal to 0.42 acres per AU. For CB a uniform growth rate is rather dependable unless limited by low rainfall. Consider an example of starting the season with 600 lb stockers gaining 2 lb/head/day. That would be 0.7 AU per head. You would need 3.4 stockers per acre (2040 lb live weight) initially (2.4 / 0.7). Thus a starting goal for 10 acres of CB would be 34 stockers or 24 nonlactating cows (1000 lb/head). If production of more than 240 AUD per acre were possible, then more cattle could be grazed. As with cool-season species, the early season growth may be highest at a time when animal feed requirements are least. The solution can involve selling some animals in late season, making hay if needed in early season, moving cattle to rested cool-season pastures in late season, or feeding some hay if needed in late season.
As a guide for planning paddock size in a rotational grazing system, we have calculated the number of animal units that would be needed per acre to graze for 5 days with 25 days rest between grazing cycles (an ideal goal). Six paddocks would be needed to make this system work. Forage available for grazing when beginning to graze a paddock averaged 1900 lb/acre during 1993 and 1994 at Blacksburg, Virginia (Table 1). This represented a height of 8 to 10 inches of growth at the beginning of each grazing period. From the example in the previous paragraph, 14.4 AU would be needed per acre during the 5-day grazing period.
If 3.4 stockers per acre gained 2 lb/head/day for 100 days, then 680 lb live weight gain per acre would be produced. This is good production for hot summer periods when natural pastures are sometimes so poor that little net live weight gain occurs.

Mauro Icardi has written an open letter to Inter Milan's ultra group Curva Nord in a bid to make peace amid suggestions that the Argentine could be stripped of the captaincy at the Italian giants.
Icardi, who only recently signed a new long-term contract at San Siro, is currently under fire from the group, who have taken exception to comments made by the forward in his autobiography.
Curve Nord, who have branded Icardi "a vile piece of s***", have issued a statement demanding that Inter take the captain's armband away from Icardi, amid claims that the Argentine threatened to bring over criminals from Argentina to kill the club's ultra group.
Ahead of Sunday's Serie A clash with Cagliari, which Inter lost 2-1, Icardi penned a letter in a bid to defuse the situation, but he was roundly booed during the league match at San Siro.
"Dear Curva Nord, I am surprised and disappointed," Icardi wrote on Instagram. "I am surprised because I simply referred to the fact I lost my temper in the heat of the moment, combined with the adrenaline of the match and the bad moment the team was going through.
"I simply wanted to sum up the atmosphere of that incident. It's true that in the book I spat out some exaggerated phrases (and the verb spat gives a good idea of how inopportune my reaction was).
"As for the issue of getting assassins from Argentina, as people continued to tell me that I would've found some hooligans under my house (note: not the Curva Nord members, but hooligans), I said that phrase. In the biography I also wrote that 'I used threatening words towards the fans and I shouldn't have done that.'"
"I am disappointed. Disappointed with the chaos that has been brought up. I simply gave my recollection of an incident. If I had the slightest brain in my skull, I certainly wouldn't have risked offending the curva. I didn't want to offend or disrespect anyone.
"The captain's armband represents the realisation of my childhood dreams, the joy that I gave first of all to my family and then to myself. You are the ones who I look out for every Sunday after scoring a goal, it is your embrace I seek first, because I love Inter."
"Imminently I will step on to the field, so I can't go on any more. I hope you understood how important you are for me and how much respect and love I have for you, even if you decide to jeer me. I ask you just one thing as captain - stay close to Inter, as you always have done, because my teammates and I need you. With affection, Mauro."
Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti has revealed that the club will "unfortunately" be taking action against their forward.
The spat started when Icardi criticised a member of Inter's ultra group over an incident when he tried to give a young fan his shirt after a game.
