Put Bond
Definition of 'Put Bond'
A bond that allows the holder to force the issuer to repurchase the security at specified dates before maturity. The repurchase price is set at the time of issue, and is usually par value.
Investopedia explains 'Put Bond'
Bondholders have the option of putting bonds back to the issuer either once during the lifetime of the bond (known as a one-time put bond), or on a number of different dates. Of course, the special advantages of put bonds mean that some yield must be sacrificed.
This type of bond is also known as a multimaturity bond, an option tender bond, a variable rate demand obligation (VRDO). |

Recently there have been reports of the "knock-out game" becoming a problem in major cities as well as some rural towns. The "knock-out game" is when a teen-ager goes up to an innocent bystander and tries to knock that person unconscious with a single punch, a sucker-punch. There have been many prominent and major accounts of this violent game badly injuring innocent bystanders. This is unnerving to know that a teen-ager's idea of fun is determined by hurting another person.
There have been many attacks in New York City, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. This "game" is a trend that is spreading, fast. The assailants getting involved in this "game" are claiming to do it because it is "cool" and "everyone is doing it" and it is "a great thrill."
Not only has this violent "game" become an issue, but it has become a streak across the country. I think this is becoming a bigger issue than society can handle. The urge to be violent just because one can is growing in young Americans and needs to be dealt with accordingly. It is a socially accepted feeling learned at a young age; these young children need to know it is not responsible to engage in violence just because it is possible. If that is not understood by today's youth, we will have many more issues like this "game" in the future as this younger generation grows up.
Thinking for the future, we, as a nation, need to stop advertising violence as a "game" that everyone at any age can have fun inflicting, without any consequences. Senseless violence and domestic violence should be behaviors we shun, not turn into a game to enjoy.

EMB calls for suspension of the milk quota increase
To the Ministers of Agriculture of the European Union,
Members of the national parliaments and
Members of the European Parliament
Hamm, 29 March 2012
The Milk Package adopted is a first step in the right direction – now there have to be further steps!
Dear Ministers and Members of Parliament,
The Milk Package which has just been adopted is a first step towards a long-term reform of the EU dairy sector. For this we wish to thank you on behalf of the European milk producers.
This new regulation has initiated some forward-looking steps that now have to be systematically implemented and extended. Otherwise the measures will remain ineffective by and large.
Above all the step we regard as particularly positive is the possibility of pooling dairy farmers in producer organisations, of obligatory contracts between producers and processors which can help balance the asymmetrical relations between the market players in the dairy sector and the new Price Monitoring Tool to be created.
However, these measures will only be effective if they are ideally adapted to the real market situation. This means that the pooling options have to be extended to members of co-operatives. In addition, an EU-wide obligation to enter into contracts must be introduced, taking into account the milk producers' production costs. Otherwise the provisions adopted cannot help improve the milk producers' position in the market.
The planned Price Monitoring Tool should be introduced as soon as possible and both empowered to monitor the milk market (prices, supply, demand and production costs) and equipped with effective regulatory powers to prevent market-damaging surpluses being produced. Price monitoring alone is not enough. Moreover it is important to keep an eye on margins. For instance, from July 2010 to July 2011 the prices of supplies required for milk production rose by 10-15% in many European countries. This means that the average costs of producing milk are now well in excess of 40 cents.
It has been obvious in the last few weeks and months that the dairy sector is not self-regulatory throughout the EU. The markets are noticeably under pressure, which is evident in plummeting farm-gate prices. In Belgium alone the base price fell from 29.84 to 28.5 cents between December 2011 and March 2012. Some French dairies have already announced a decrease in the farm-gate price to 27.5 cents for April 2012. There are similar developments in the other member states.
At the same time the producers have so far been unable to react appropriately to this conspicuous market signal. The volumes of milk supplied are still at peak levels.
That is why it is essential that the 1% increase in quotas scheduled for 1 April 2012 is abandoned for the time being to prevent the markets being burdened even further! This step is vital to stop prices plummeting again for now.
We call on you to take active steps in this direction. The market situation can be re-analysed in the middle of the milk year to evaluate the suspension of the increase in quotas.
Yours sincerely,
Romuald Schaber (President of the EMB)

With Clay Buchholz healthy, the Boston Red Sox have three pitchers at the top of their rotation who can absolutely dominate a game. Last season, Josh Beckett was the team's best pitcher worth 4.3 win above replacement by Fangraph's system. In 2010, it was Jon Lester leading the way, with 5.7 fWAR. Buchholz was very good in 2010 as well, with 3.7 fWAR and the best ERA+ in the American League. In 2012, the rotation may get an additional boost from setup man Daniel Bard who is transitioning into a starter's role this spring. If this quartet can remain healthy, the Red Sox are going to be tough to beat in a four game series.
Joining these four pitchers is new closer Andrew Bailey who takes the place of Jonathan Papelbon in the Red Sox bullpen and Mark Melancon, who will jump into Bard's setup role. As we have seen in this series, all of these pitchers have excellent fastballs and at least one off-speed pitch that can baffle opposing hitters. Pitching is about more just one or two pitches, however. A pitcher needs to have a strong repertoire, good control of those pitches and the ability to effective sequence his pitches to maximize their effectiveness. Putting all of this together separates the top line starters and closers from the back end guys and middle relievers. So which Red Sox pitcher has the best stuff?

Here we have our typical 3 year data set looking at some fairly advanced metrics. The pitchers above are ranked by Skill Interactive ERA or SIERA. Like FIP and xFIP, SIERA is an ERA estimator, but unlike both FIP and xFIP, SIERA has some adjustments to help take into account the pitcher's skill set and its effect on balls in play, where the other ERA estimator ignore this area entirely. As with ERA, FIP and almost every other pitching average, the relievers have an advantage in SIERA. Bard and Bailey are number one and two here, separated by .001 in there SIERA. The Red Sox two top starters are third and fourth, with Lester slightly above Josh Beckett by SIERA. Despite his excellent career ERA, SIERA doen't believe much in Clay Buhholz, rating him near .75 runs worse than Beckett in it's eyes.
It is telling to see just how well SIERA lines up with swinging strike rate. Buchholz has a slight advantage over Beckett in the at regard, but otherwise the whiff rates line up perfectly with SIERA. Two other stats that follows SIERA closely are the weighted fastball value per 100 pitches (FBv/C) and HR/9 once again Clay Buchholz is the lone exception.With a higher average value on his heater than any other starter and a HR/9 rate better than Beckett, Buchholz seems to be a better pitcher than SIERA believes.
Part of that might be his ground ball rate; Buchholz just beats out Jon Lester on ground ball percentage. Buchholz has often been regarded as lucky with respect to his ERA which is miles better than his FIP, SIERA and xFIP. It could be luck, of course, but it is also possible that Buchholz is one of the rare pitcher that truly does induce weak ground ball contact. Considering that his change up was our Best Off-Speed Pitch, Buchholz seems to be a better pitcher than the sum of his pitches.
Even so, doesn't appear to have the best stuff on this talented staff. SIERA seems to love Andrew Bailey, who has the best K/BB rate and his excellent fastball results. That should be good news for all those concerned about the loss of Jonathan Papelbon, but the most traditional shown above works against Bailey, as he has the fewest innings pitched. He is an excellent reliever, but his stuff (and his arm) can't handle the workload of a starter.
Daniel Bard, on other hand, will be moving into the rotation this season and we will get to see if his excellent stuff can hold up to the rigors of working through a line up multiple times. In Fangraph's description of SIERA they note that the general difference between starter and reliever SIERA is 0.37 in favor of relievers. Using this simple adjustment, Bard's SIERA would just edge out Jon Lester's at 3.27. Does having two Jon Lester's appeal to you? Bard makes an excellent case for best stuff and not just with his SIERA .
Bard throws the hardest with his crazy 97.5 mph fastball. He has the most valuable pitch by linear weights in his devastating slider. And while his ground ball percentage ranks third, behind Buchholz and Lester, 48.6% is still a whole lot of ground balls. As Bard transitions into his new role, he will need to develop a true third pitch and his change up certainly has promise.
When you consider the full repertoire, Jon Lester begins to emerge as the clear favorite. Among starters, he has the highest swinging strike rate and the second highest ground ball rate. Where Andrew Bailey falls short on innings pitched, Jon Lester has the highest total over the past three years. His fastball velocity is a tick behind both Beckett and Buchholz, but Lester is also a left hander, keeping up with two of the league's hardest throwing righties is not to shabby. His curve doesn't have the value you might expect it to, but he also throws a change up, primarily to righties, that is excellent, just missing the cut in our best off-speed category by falling under 10% usage. This gives Lester three pitches that all have a positive weighted value. If that isn't best stuff, I am not sure what is.
On this topic, the OTM writers had a wide range of perspectives. The idea of Best Stuff is relatively vague. I have tried to balance results and repertoire in my analysis, but I leave the meaning up to everyone's own inner scout. Marc Normandin and Brendan O'Toole both picked Clay Buchholz on the strength of his three pitch repertoire, which is, in fact, quite awesome. Lone1c went with Josh Beckett, citing his killer curve and the many ways he can use it in the destruction of a hitter's psyche. Matthew Kory went with my pick, Jon Lester, feeling no elaboration would be needed. Five writers and three picks for Best Stuff equals good news for Sox fans. And that is without giving Andrew Bailey or Daniel Bard their due for having the best results these past few seasons.
However you interpret the idea of Best Stuff, you are going to like these five names. So, as always, I turn the debate over to you.

The Berlin Wall of pot prohibition seems to be crumbling before our eyes.
By fully legalizing marijuana through direct democracy, Colorado and Washington have fundamentally changed the national conversation about cannabis. As many as 58 percent of Americans now believe marijuana should be legal. And our political establishment is catching on. Former president Jimmy Carter came out this month and endorsed taxed-and-regulated weed. "I'm in favor of it," Carter said. "I think it's OK." In a December 5th letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) suggested it might be possible "to amend the Federal Controlled Substances Act to allow possession of up to one ounce of marijuana, at least in jurisdictions where it is legal under state law." Even President Obama hinted at a more flexible approach to prohibition, telling 20/20's Barbara Walters that the federal government was unlikely to crack down on recreational users in states where pot is legal, adding, "We've got bigger fish to fry."
Encouraged by the example of Colorado and Oregon, states across the country are debating the merits of treating marijuana less like crystal meth and more like Jim Beam. Here are the next seven states most likely to legalize it:
1) Oregon
Oregon could have produced a trifecta for pot legalization on election day. Like Washington and Colorado, the state had a marijuana legalization bid on the ballot in 2012, but it failed 54-46. The pro-cannabis cause was dogged by poor organization: Advocates barely qualified the initiative for the ballot, and could not attract billionaire backers like George Soros and Peter Lewis, who helped bankroll the legalization bit in Washington.
But given that Oregon's biggest city, Portland, will be just across the Columbia River from prevalent, legal marijuana, the state legislature will be under pressure to create a framework for the drug's legal use in Oregon – in particular if the revenue provisions of Washington's law are permitted to kick in and lawmakers begin to watch Washington profit from the "sin taxes" on Oregon potheads. If lawmakers stall, state voters will likely have the last word soon enough. Consider that even cannabis-crazy Colorado failed in its first legalization bid back in 2006.
"We have decades of evidence that says prohibition does not work and it's counterproductive," said Peter Buckley, co-chair of the Oregon state legislature's budget committee. For Buckley, it's a matter of dollars and common sense: "There's a source of revenue that's reasonable that is rational that is the right policy choice for our state," he said. "We are going to get there on legalization."
2) California
California is unaccustomed to being a follower on marijuana liberalization. Its landmark medical marijuana initiative in 1996 sparked a revolution that has reached 18 states and the District of Columbia. And the artful ambiguity of that statute has guaranteed easy access to the drug — even among Californians with minor aches and pains.
In 2010, the state appeared to be on track to fully legalize and tax pot with Proposition 19. The Obama administration warned of a crackdown, and the state legislature beat voters to the punch with a sweeping decriminalization of pot that treats possession not as a misdemeanor but an infraction, like a parking ticket, with just a $100 fine. In a stunningly progressive move, that law also applies to underage smokers. And removing normal teenage behavior from the criminal justice system has contributed to a staggering decline in youth "crime" in California of nearly 20 percent in 2011.
The grandaddy of less-prohibited pot is again a top candidate to fully legalize cannabis. Prop 19 failed 53-47, and pot advocates are determined not to run another initiative in an "off-year" election, likely putting ballot-box legalization off for four years. "2016 is a presidential election year, which brings out more of the youth vote we need," said Amanda Reiman, who heads up the Drug Policy Alliance's marijuana reform in California.
Economics could also force the issue sooner. Eager for new tax revenue, the state legislature could seek to normalize the marijuana trade. There's no Republican impediment: Democrats now have a supermajority in Sacramento, and Governor Brown has forcefully defended the right of states to legalize without the interference of federal "gendarmes."
3) Nevada
Whether it's gambling or prostitution, Nevada is famous for regulating that which other states prohibit. When it comes to pot, the state has already taken one swing at legalization in 2006, with an initiative that failed 56-44. "They got closer than we did in Colorado that year," says Mason Tvert, who co-chaired Colorado's initiative this year and whose first statewide effort garnered just 41 percent of the vote.
For prominent state politicians, the full legalization, taxation and regulation of weed feels all but inevitable. "Thinking we're not going to have it is unrealistic," assemblyman Tick Segerblom of Las Vegas said in November. "It's just a question of how and when."
4) Rhode Island
Pot watchers believe little Rhode Island may be the first state to legalize through the state legislature instead of a popular referendum. ''I'm hoping this goes nowhere,'' one prominent opponent in the state House told the Boston Globe. ''But I think we're getting closer and closer to doing this.''
Back in June 2012, lawmakers in Providence jumped on the decriminalization bandwagon, replacing misdemeanor charges for adult recreational use with a civil fine of $150. (Youth pay the same fine but also have to attend a drug education class and perform community service.)
In the wake of Colorado and Washington's new state laws, Rhode Island has joined a slate of New England states that are vowing to vote on tax-and-regulate bills. A regulated marijuana market in Rhode Island could reap the state nearly $30 million in new tax revenue and reduced law enforcement costs. ''Our prohibition has failed,'' said Rep. Edith Ajello of Providence, who is sponsoring the bill. ''Legalizing and taxing it, just as we did to alcohol, is the way to do it.''
5) Maine
Maine's legislature has recently expanded decriminalization and is moving on a legalization-and-regulation bill that could bring the state $8 million a year in new revenue. ''The people are far ahead of the politicians on this,'' said Rep. Diane Russell of Portland. ''Just in the past few weeks we've seen the culture shift dramatically.''
State legislators in Maine, as in other direct-democracy states, are actually wary of the ballot initiative process and may work to preempt the voters. A legalization scheme devised by lawmakers, after all, is likely to produce tighter regulation and more revenue than a bill dreamed up by pot consumers themselves.
6) Alaska
Alaska is already a pothead's paradise, and the state could move quickly to bring order to its ambiguous marijuana law. Cannabis has been effectively legal in Alaska since 1975, when the state supreme court, drawing on the unique privacy protections of the Alaska constitution, declared that authorities can't prohibit modest amounts of marijuana in the home of state residents.
That gave Alaskans the right to have up to four ounces – and 24 plants – in their homes. Following a failed bid to fully legalize pot at the ballot box in 2004 (the measure fell 56-44), the state legislature attempted to enforce prohibition, outlawing all weed in 2006. But citing the 1975 precedent, a judge later ruled the home exemption must be respected, though she sought to limit legal possession to a single ounce.
If taxation and regulation take root in nearby Washington, and perhaps more important in neighboring British Columbia (where legalization is also being considered), a ballot initiative in Alaska could win in an avalanche.
7) Vermont
Last year, Vermont finally normalized its medical marijuana law, establishing a system of government-sanctioned dispensaries. In November, the state's Democratic governor, Peter Shumlin, just cruised to re-election while strongly backing marijuana decriminalization. The city of Burlington, meanwhile, passed a nonbinding resolution in November calling for an end to prohibition – with 70 percent support. The Green Mountain State has already embraced single-payer universal health care. Legal pot cannot be far behind.

What Causes Low Sex Drive? What Can You Do?
If you're a man experiencing reduced sexual desire you're not alone.
Surveys show:
25% of men experience reduced sex drive
33 per cent of marriages are affected by low sex drive
When low sex drive is mentioned, the spouse with the problem is usually categorized as the wife.
However, there are many husbands who aren't interested in sex with their wives. Who sit up late hoping she will go to sleep before they come to bed so they won't have to be embarrassed by not being able to perform.
The good news is there is plenty you can do to boost low libido and restore normal desire.
Low Sex Drive More Common Than You Think
Sex therapists report increasing numbers of men who experience low libido – and it's often made worse because people find it so difficult to talk about because being sexual is seen as so much part of being a man.
But low sex drive is a more common problem than you might think:
Complaints about low desire are the No 1 problem seen by sex therapists
Low sex drive has two frequent underlying causes:
Low testosterone levels from aging or trauma like job loss, divorce or physical injury
Stress anxiety and fatigue from work and family demands
Low Libido – You Don't Have to Put Up With It
Being out of sync in your sexual desire is a common problem in marriage. Differences in sex drive are inevitable at different life stages. Many couples think they are the only ones with the problem. Low libido is a problem that's actually increased with the stresses of modern life - and sex is such a vital part of our lives no one should accept it's "all over". So if anyone tells you that a declining sex drive is something that you just have to put up with as you get older - they're wrong.
Low Libido – What You Can Do About It
Herbal Ignite has helped thousands of men enjoy a normal sex life and an improved sense of well-being with minimal unwanted side effects. Its non- hormonal action aids in sexual arousal and satisfaction, welcome enhancements to support a natural decline with aging.
You can discover the benefits of Herbal Ignite for sexual arousal. Order our special four bottles offer – enough for three or four month's supply depending on body weight* now and give your body the support it needs for optimal functioning.

Reading Roundup: This Week's Top Literary Events
Each week, we offer a roundup of the best literary events in the city. All events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Want to submit an upcoming event for consideration? Go here.
Nigella Lawson (Nigellissima: Easy Italian-Inspired Recipes)
Friday, February 15, 6 pm, at Book Passage SF (1 Ferry Building)
Saturday, February 16, 12:30 pm, at Left Bank (507 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur)
Saturday, February 16, 5 pm, at Williams-Sonoma (340 Post St.)
Lawson, the British "domestic goddess," TV star, and author of eight cookbooks, goes Italian in her latest tome, with 120 recipes for pastas, main courses, and desserts inspired by the simplicity and purity of Italian cuisine. If you'd like to taste a meal prepared by Lawson herself, the Left Bank event will feature multiple courses of recipes straight from the book, paired with wine; tickets are $125 and include tax, tip, and a signed copy.
Teddy Wayne (The Love Song of Jonny Valentine)
Friday, February 15, 7 pm, at Books Inc. Marina (2251 Chestnut St.)
Wayne's first novel, Kapitoil, earned praise for its humor and unique voice, and he's garnering even more plaudits for his follow-up, the tale of a Justin Bieber-like 11-year-old pop star who struggles to come to terms with his absent father, hard-partying manager mother, and burgeoning sexuality. Both a witty exploration of America's celebrity-obsessed culture and a tender coming-of-age story, Jonny Valentine is a major breakthrough for Wayne.
David Shields (How Literature Saved My Life)
Wednesday, February 13, 7:30 pm, at The Booksmith (1644 Haight St.)
Shields, the provocative author of Reality Hunger, goes more personal in his latest book, exploring the books that have helped keep him afloat despite his self-admitted character flaws and his struggles with hopelessness and despair. Over time, however, Shields begins to realize that even literature isn't a solution to human loneliness, and his struggle with the acts of reading and writing inform an idiosyncratic and compelling narrative about why we read.
Jamaica Kincaid (See Now Then)
Wednesday, February 13, 7:30 pm at Herbst Theatre (401 Van Ness Ave.)
Antigua-born Kincaid has been one of the most important black voices in modern fiction since her first novel, Annie John, appeared in the 1970s. Her new novel evokes a New England family that's unstuck in time, moving fluidly between the past, present and future in the voices of a mother, father, and their two children in a voice and language that are uniquely her own.

Value of Iver Johnson 5 shot nickel hammerless with box
Very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Goforth. I'm new to the forum but can see from the posts what a great member he was.
I have a 5 shot Iver Johnson nickel plated hammerless revolver on loan from a friend who would like to know the value. It came in the original box (cardboard imprinted with use and care, a engraved photo inside the top of the same gun, but with an exterior hammer). See attached photo.
It has a 3 inch barrel, black rubber or bakelite handles with the owl facing down the handle, two post top latch. Looks like a 32 cal but I don't have a way to measure.
Butt strap stamped PAT. AUG 25, '96 then PATS. PENDING on second line.
Trigger guard stamped 51931 (no letters). Trigger and guard are still blue, everything else is nickel plate.
There are no other markings. The nickel is bright and in nice shape, with some flaking off around the breech. (I hear it can be dangerous to the owner to fire it.)
There is some scarring around the notches from the revolver turning mechanism.
The instructions imprinted in the box state use of semi-smokeless or black powder. No dates on the box.
Can anyone provide more info and a guess at the value?

End of Organic Coffee ? Small Farmers in the USDA's Sights
The USDA has done it again.
Remember when the U.S. Department of Agriculture tried to relax organic standards for the agri-foods industry by accepting irradiated food, genetically engineered organisms, and sewage sludge as "organic"?
It took a sustained outcry from organic producers and consumers to keep the agency from destroying the meaning of organic. Get ready. It is happening again, only this time they have set their myopic sights set on small-scale coffee farmers in the Global South.
The USDA is about to make it prohibitively expensive and logistically impossible for some hundred thousand small growers to maintain their organic certification—and importantly—to reap the economic benefits of organic prices, that can be as high as $.40/lb over conventional market price. This price (especially when combined with the Fairtrade minimum price of $1.26/lb), has saved many smallholders from financial ruin during the recurrent coffee crises.
Until now, official certifiers inspected smallholder "community grower groups" (usually a cooperative), to ensure compliance with organic standards. After a review of the groups internal control system, they randomly tested 20% of farms to validate farmers' compliance. This allowed some 300 grower groups in the Global South obtain organic certification for over 100,000 farmers. (This combination of an internal control system and an external third party audit is very similar to organic food processing audits, and USDA meat inspections.)
But last month the USDA National Organic Program denied an appeal by a coffee cooperative in Mexico that had been decertified after an inspector discovered that the cooperative's internal control system had failed to detect the use of pesticides and fertilizer bags for crop storage by one farmer. Not only did the USDA decertify the cooperative, it decided to abandon the grower group certification process altogether by unilaterally decreeing that "the use of an internal inspection system as a proxy for mandatory on-site inspections of each production unit by the certifying agent is not permitted." Now every single farmer, no matter how small, must submit to yearly, on-site inspections. Certification inspection visits, often to remote, hard-to-access coffee farms, can take up to 3-5 days at a cost of $150-270 a day. There is little likelihood that individual smallholders—the ones growing the bulk of the world's organic coffee—can pay this price, or that certifiers can reach all of them.
Organic certification already comes at a high cost for smallholders. Not only do farmers have to invest more labor in weeding, pruning, and organic fertilization, they must first sacrifice three years of farming organically without certification in order qualify. They must invest their time to organize in cooperatives under one management and marketing system and maintain a strict, documented, internal control system to make sure all members in the grower group are in compliance with organic standards and production practices.
It is hard to imagine who benefits from this new decision, aside from a handful of large-scale organic coffee farmers who can afford yearly inspections. It certainly doesn't benefit organic smallholders, who produce the bulk of organic coffee in the world, or consumers, who will see the price of organic coffee go through the roof. It doesn't benefit Fairtrade roaster-distributors who depend on the organic price to shore up the Fairtrade premium paid to many organic farmers. It doesn't even benefit the large retailers that carry organic coffee. How will Wal-Mart and Nestlé maintain their "halo" of fairness and green-ness if the inexpensive organic and Fairtrade coffee the chains sell are replaced by high-priced coffee sold by a handful of big growers?
While this move could favor them, it does not appear that large growers are behind this development. Neither is the Mexican cooperative the real reason for the USDA-NOP's reaction. Rather—apart from bureaucratic stupidity—it may be that the USDA, having been burned by so many large-scale organic imports from China that turn out not to be organic, has decided to tighten certification procedures.
So, hard-strapped campesino coffee coops that have spent nearly two decades making the organic certification system work, are now to be the sacrificial lambs for the industrial organic industry. By sabotaging smallholder certification, the USDA risks destroying organic—and Fairtrade—coffee markets in the U.S.
Organic farming organizations, certifiers, and Fairtrade groups will likely contest this arbitrary ruling. (We'll see if we hear anything from beneficent retailers like Starbucks and Wal-Mart) Whatever their strategy, just like last time, it will likely take a widespread consumer outcry to keep the USDA from tearing down what so many have worked so hard to build.
Respond to eholtgim at foodfirst dot org
Just read your blog about the USDA's ridiculously stupid decision to abolish the internal control system of group certification. While most of the constituencies that oppose this are those who are directly or indirectly hurt by the new rule, the Independent Organic Inspectors Association, who would actually benefit from the increase in work generated, are stongly opposing this as well. Hopefully the USDA will be more likely to listen to their complaints and understand the gravity of their decision.
Thanks for the great blogs and for helping us all keep on top of the issues!

We are pleased to offer the 2003 imported champion German Connemara Pony stallion *Smaragaid Cliff. He is by the Danish dressage champion Munkholm Cobbergate (Ardnasillagh O'Flaherty x Oxenholm Cora) out of the German Federal Premium Mare Shamrock Bright Roxanne (Power Boy x Bright Pearl). He was bred by Martina Ferfers of Smaragaid Connemaras in Germany. You can see even more pictures of Cliff and his family by visiting Smaragaid Connemaras. *Smaragaid Cliff brings new, exceptional bloodlines to the U.S., offering well-known and respected European Connemara Ponies close up on both sides of his pedigree, including multiple Danish Elite mares and German Federal Premium mares as well as champion Danish dressage stallions. Cliff's progeny proves that he successfully passes on his own award-winning ways and those of his famous ancestors. According to a 2013 report by the Connemara Pony Breeders Society in Ireland, Cliff is among the best possible outcross stallions for mare owners. To quote the report: "Many of these rare line stallions are free of Abbeyleix Owen, Mervyn Kingsmill, Hazy Dawn and Ashfield Sparrow. Consequently, they and some of their daughters are ideal for developing outcross stallions for breeding with the large numbers of mares from overused stallions." Cliff's grandfather, Ardnasillagh O'Flaherty, is listed in the report as a rare line stallion. Read the entire report by clicking here. Cliff has been inspected and approved by the American Connemara Pony Society and earned the honor of being named a Premium Stallion, the ACPS's top designation for inspected ponies. |
Standing *Smaragaid Cliff 2014 |
-- 14.3 hands -- 9 inches of bone -- Inspected ACPS Premium -- USEF Leading Dressage Sire -- brown, NEGATIVE for grey -- no chestnut gene |

Jane FondaJane Fonda, at age 68, says that most women—no matter how beautiful—grow up feeling their bodies are not perfect. She went through 30 years of food addiction that led to bulimia and anorexia. Jane says she was able to stop the behavior, but "as with all forms of addiction, you have to figure out what emotional needs you were trying to satisfy. It's a spiritual process." A major event, "one of the biggies," came three years ago when she saw Eve Ensler perform The Vagina Monologues. "I have become a very involved member of the vagina army," Jane says.

Sounds like a visit from an Arggghh-ma! Rhymer.
(Armagh, Ireland, is "the spiritual capital of Ireland for 1,500 years. St Patrick called Armagh 'my sweet hill' and built his stone church on the hill where the Anglican cathedral now stands" according to the geographia website.)
I wonder what would be your reaction if all of that stuff happened for real? LOL. By the way..since when do you have a dog??
Tsk, Tsk- I would heed that warning John. Leprechauns are not people you want to piss off. I was reading a bunch of irish curses yesterday; and this is not a trifle bunch you want to mess with. But, I do have to give them kudos for the amazing rhyming!
John, I'm sending you a gold 4 leaf clover on a big, heavy gold chain to wear as protection against any Leprechaun mischief making. Wear it and you'll be okay.
MAHAHAHAHA pretty much backs up you mocking St. Paddy really. If that's the reply you get from followers then they deserved the mock LOL. Please don't shave my dog if you're reading this!!! Na, very clever
What a witty man you are…..it is truly a gift…have you thought of a book of your poetry on themes like that . . it would likely make the best seller list! Forget the theology….too much of it already out there…in days like this people need to laugh….I loved this post today!

CNET Editors' review
This free tool makes small demands with potentially big benefits, but only if you take advantage of them, of course. Workrave's miniscule window pops up at regular intervals to prompt you to take breaks long enough and frequently enough to be of real benefit to your health and productivity, yet short enough not to break your stride.
Workrave's main interaction with the user is a desktop applet that's probably not much bigger than your Recycle Bin icon, plus a series of equally small pop-up reminders. But Workrave isn't a stripped-down app, even though it's free, as its 42MB Program folder showed. Much of Workrave's data consists of helpful (and healthful) exercise tips in 3D animation that demonstrate stretches and other beneficial actions -- some as easy as tilting your neck or moving your eyes to the corner of your screen. Workrave's system tray icon and Preferences sheet make setting things up just as easy on the user as its quickie exercises. Tabs on the Preferences sheet let us configure Micro-breaks, Rest breaks, and Daily Limits. We could also enable alternate monitors and use our own sound clips for alerts. Of course, we could easily dismiss or postpone breaks when necessary.
Seemingly endless platitudes extol the cumulative virtues of small but consistent and persistent efforts. Let's state unequivocally that downloading, installing, configuring, and, yes, paying attention to Workrave can make just such a difference in your day and your life. But only if you do what you told it to tell you to do!

I've used Workrave for at least 7 years and have had no RSI related injuries in all that time. Since I work in IT and I'm on a computer at least 7 hours a day, I find no injuries quite remarkable. I'd recommend Workrave to anyone.
