Bellamy salute
The Bellamy salute is the salute described by Francis Bellamy to accompany the American Pledge of Allegiance, which he had authored. During the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance, it was sometimes known as the "flag salute". During the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazis adopted a salute which had the same form, resulting in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.
The inventor of the saluting gesture was James B. Upham, junior partner and editor of The Youth's Companion.[1] Bellamy recalled Upham, upon reading the pledge, came into the posture of the salute, snapped his heels together, and said "Now up there is the flag; I come to salute; as I say 'I pledge allegiance to my flag,' I stretch out my right hand and keep it raised while I say the stirring words that follow."[1]
The Bellamy salute was first demonstrated on October 12, 1892 according to Bellamy's published instructions for the "National School Celebration of Columbus Day":
At a signal from the Principal the pupils, in ordered ranks, hands to the side, face the Flag. Another signal is given; every pupil gives the flag the military salute -- right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it. Standing thus, all repeat together, slowly, "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." At the words, "to my Flag," the right hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, toward the Flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation; whereupon all hands immediately drop to the side.
— From The Youth's Companion, 65 (1892): 446–447.
The initial civilian salute was replaced with a hand-on-heart gesture, followed by the extension of the arm as described by Bellamy.
In the 1920s, Italian fascists adopted the Roman salute to symbolize their claim to have revitalized Italy on the model of ancient Rome. This was quickly copied by the German Nazis, creating the Nazi salute. The similarity to the Bellamy salute led to confusion, especially during World War II. From 1939 until the attack on Pearl Harbor, detractors of Americans who argued against intervention in World War II produced propaganda using the salute to lessen those Americans' reputations. Among the anti-interventionist Americans was aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh. Supporters of Lindbergh's views would claim that Lindbergh did not support Adolf Hitler, and that pictures of him appearing to do the Nazi salute were actually pictures of him using the Bellamy salute. In his Pulitzer prize winning biography Lindbergh, author A. Scott Berg explains that interventionist propagandists would photograph Lindbergh and other isolationists using this salute from an angle that left out the American flag, so it would be indistinguishable from the Hitler salute to observers.
In order to prevent further confusion or controversy, United States Congress instituted the hand-over-the-heart gesture as the salute to be rendered by civilians during the Pledge of Allegiance in the United States, instead of the Bellamy salute.[2] This was done when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.[3][4]
There was initially some resistance to dropping the Bellamy salute, for example from the Daughters of the American Revolution,[5] but this opposition died down quickly following Nazi Germany's declaration of war against the United States on December 11, 1941.

[JURIST] The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] on Tuesday launched a new initiative to combat income tax evasion. The National Tax Defier Initiative (TAXDEF) [press release] will investigate and prosecute those who actively "defy and deny" US tax laws, while also educating the public about the consequences of tax evasion. Assistant Attorney General Nathan J. Hochman [DOJ profile] said:
This initiative is aimed at stopping those tax defiers who do not meet their federal tax obligations and seek to transfer those obligations to their neighbor's back. The tax defier is not someone who has a legitimate or factual dispute about the amount of tax due. The tax defier is not someone who is merely exercising his or her First Amendment rights to challenge the tax policy choices that Congress has made. Instead, the tax defier is someone who rejects the legal foundation of the tax system, despite decades of legal precedent upholding the system's constitutional and statutory validity, and who takes specific and concrete action to violate the law.
[JURIST] The anesthetic dosage delivered under Ohio's lethal injection [DPIC backgrounder] protocol is sufficient to prevent the condemned inmate from suffering during an execution, according to Tuesday testimony from an anesthesiologist during a court hearing on the constitutionality of Ohio's death penalty procedure [JURIST news archive]. The testimony by Dr. Mark Dershwitz [professional profile] contradicts that given Monday by another anesthesiologist [JURIST report], who said that the state's execution method does not comport with the Eighth Amendment [text] of the US Constitution or with Ohio's requirement that executions be carried out "in a professional, humane, sensitive and dignified manner." Under 2001's HB No. 362 [text], lethal injection is the only death penalty option available in Ohio. AP has more. Last year, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit rejected a lawsuit [JURIST report] challenging Ohio's lethal injection practice on procedural grounds. Ohio lethal injections came under fire after a difficult May 2006 execution where staff struggled to find a vein to administer the lethal injection cocktail, and the one they did use collapsed before injection. A modified procedure was introduced in June 2006 and employed [JURIST reports] the following month. Last September, the American Bar Association death penalty assessment team called for a temporary halt on Ohio executions [ABA materials; JURIST report] on due process grounds. Several states have placed a moratorium on lethal injections pending US Supreme Court review in Baze v. Rees (07-5439) [docket; merit briefs], including Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida [JURIST reports].
[JURIST] The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled [PDF text] Tuesday that an insurance company was not required to pay for water damage caused when New Orleans levees breached after Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive]. Homeowner Joseph Sher sued Lafayette Insurance Company [corporate website] after the insurer refused to cover damage resulting from a four-foot water rise in his home after the 2005 hurricane; Sher's policy did not cover "flood" damage, but Sher argued that the term "flood" was ambiguous as to whether it referred to all water damage or just that caused by natural rather than man-made events. The Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeal [official website] last year ruled [PDF text] that the term was ambiguous, but the state Supreme Court Tuesday found that ordinary usage of the term rendered the policy exception clear and enforceable, even if "flood" has multiple definitions relating to its cause and character. The Court reduced Sher's award from $870,652 to $247,001, covering damage from wind as well as lost rent and other costs. Insurance insiders say that the Louisiana decision is consistent with earlier federal court precedents across the country. Last November, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld language used in a homeowner insurance policy [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] by State Farm Fire and Casualty [corporate website], finding the policy's anti-concurrent causation clause unambiguous and enforceable. That decision followed precedent set forth in a case against Nationwide Insurance [corporate website] decided in August 2007, in which the circuit court ruled that policy language was not "ambiguous" [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] about whether damage caused by combinations of wind and water is covered under a policy that only lists one of the two. AP has more.
[JURIST] The War Crimes Chamber [HRW backgrounder] of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday issued a custody order [press release] for a former Bosnian Serb special police officer suspected of involvement in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre [BBC timeline, JURIST news archive]. Vaso Todorovic is accused of genocide stemming from the detention and murder of 1,000 Muslim men within the UN-protected zone of Srebrenica; he is also alleged to have participated in the forced relocation of over 25,000 Muslim women and children. The court issued the custody order after finding that Todorovic is a flight risk and may "hinder the criminal proceedings by influencing witnesses, accessories, or accomplices." The order expires on May 7.In February, new International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website] Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz reiterated his commitment [JURIST report] to arresting accused Srebrenica masterminds Ratko Mladic [BBC profile; ICTY indictment] and Radovan Karadzic [BBC profile; ICTY indictment]. The War Crimes Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina [official website] was set up to alleviate the caseload of the ICTY, and will continue to hear cases as the ICTY winds down in 2010. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Indonesian Internet providers blocked access Tuesday to file-sharing websites including YouTube, Google Video, and MySpace [corporate websites], one week after a government order sought to prevent the transmission of a controversial anti-Islamic film [JURIST report] created by far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders [personal website, in Dutch]. Indonesia's secular government issued an order [Reuters report] to block the websites last Wednesday, citing fears of unrest between the nation's different religions. Wilders' 15-minute film, released March 27 and entitled "Fitna," shows images of the Quran contrasted with images of violence and was described by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as "offensively anti-Islamic" [JURIST report] last month. In February, Pakistan blocked access to YouTube's website because it had posted a movie trailer for Wilders' film; access was restored [JURIST reports] several days later. On Monday, a district court in the Netherlands rejected [JURIST report] a bid by the Dutch Islamic Federation to block Wilders' anti-Quran statements, saying that his comments are protected by the right of free expression and do not constitute speech that incites hate or violence. AP has more.
[JURIST] Two rights groups have filed a lawsuit [complaint, PDF] in the US District Court for the District of Arizona challenging the constitutionality of Arizona's Proposition 100 [PDF text], which denies bail to illegal immigrants accused of committing serious felonies. In court papers filed Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund [advocacy websites] alleged that the law denies immigrants their due process right to individual hearings on whether they are flight risks or dangers to the community. The groups also contend that Proposition 100 allows the local Sheriff's Office to improperly use federal authority to check on the immigration status of detainees. AP has more. The Arizona Republic has local coverage.The Arizona government approved [JURIST report] Proposition 100 in November 2006, along with three other measures directed at illegal immigration. In October 2007, the Arizona Court of Appeals rejected a challenge to the law [opinion, PDF; Capitol Media Services report], ruling that it did not violate illegal immigrants' due process rights.
[JURIST] JURIST [FAQ] was nominated Tuesday for a prestigious Webby Award [awards website] as the best Law website of 2008.

In addition to its nomination in the Law category, JURIST was also recognized Tuesday as an Official Honoree in the Students category.JURIST won the Webby People's Voice Award as the best Law website of 2006 and in 2007 was named an Official Honoree [JURIST reports].
[JURIST] A High Court judge in Harare agreed Tuesday to expedite a lawsuit seeking to compel the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC) to immediately release the results of the nation's March 29 presidential elections [JURIST reports], but continued to refrain from issuing an immediate ruling in the case. On Monday, the High Court ruled [JURIST report] it had jurisdiction to hear the lawsuit, brought by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) [party website]. The MDC has said that a request by current Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] and his Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) [party website] party for a vote recount [JURIST report] are a tactic to keep Mugabe in power. Mugabe has denied there is anything improper about his request. The court Saturday postponed hearing the case [JURIST report] when lawyers for MDC were barred from entering the court. Earlier Tuesday, Zimbabwe police arrested at least five election officials [JURIST report] for allegedly under-counting around 5,000 votes for Mugabe. AFP has more.
[JURIST] The Switzerland Foreign Ministry [official website] has barred former ICTY chief prosecutor and current Swiss ambassador to Argentina Carla Del Ponte [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] from publicly promoting her new book "The Hunt: Me and War Criminals," according to Tuesday reports. The Swiss government has said that statements made in the book [Kosovo Compromise report] that condemn the actions of several politicians of the former Yugoslavia, including current Kosovar Prime Minister Hashim Thaci [official website, in Albanian; BBC profile], are inconsistent with her present role. Switzerland was one of the first countries to recognize Kosovo's February unilateral declaration of independence [JURIST report]. In the book Del Ponte also criticizes the United States for discouraging prosecution of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) members, currently in power in Rwanda, in connection with the 1994 genocide there. Del Ponte was initially also in charge of prosecutions before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.Del Ponte, who served as chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website], alleges in her book that approximately 300 Serbs were killed for organ trafficking after being imprisoned by Albanian rebels in 1999. Last month, the Office of Serbia's War Crimes Prosecutor [official website] said that it was investigating "informal statements" [JURIST report] received from ICTY investigators alleging illegal organ harvesting. The ICTY has not commented officially on the alleged organ trafficking. DPA has more. Itar-Tass has additional coverage.
[JURIST] The United Nations has a "moral duty to act on the lessons of Rwanda," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official website] said Monday in an address [text] to mark the fourteenth anniversary of the 1994 Rwandan genocide [HRW backgrounder; BBC backgrounder]. Ban said:
I am equally determined to work for human rights everywhere - to uphold them, protect them, defend them, ensure that they are a living reality. This year, to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations is pursuing a global awareness campaign to ensure that human rights are known, understood and enjoyed by everyone, everywhere. It is often those who most need their rights protected, who also need to be informed that the declaration exists - and that it exists for them.In all these endeavours, each one of us has a role to play: Governments, the media, civil society and individuals. May the searing memory of the genocide in Rwanda always spur us on in our mission.
[JURIST] The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued five former San Diego city officials in federal court Monday, alleging they committed securities fraud by failing to disclose funding shortfalls in the city's pension and health care plans to potential buyers and sellers of San Diego's municipal bonds. The SEC press release [text] explains the basis for the charges:
...the five former officials knew that the city had been intentionally under-funding its pension obligations so that it could increase pension benefits but defer the costs. They were aware that the city would face severe difficulty funding its future pension and retiree health care obligations unless new revenues were obtained, pension and health care benefits were reduced, or city services were cut. They specifically knew that the city's unfunded liability to its pension plan was projected to dramatically increase, growing from $284 million at the beginning of fiscal year 2002 to an estimated $2 billion by 2009, and that the city's liability for retiree health care was another estimated $1.1 billion. But the officials failed to disclose these and other material facts to rating agencies or to investors in bond offering documents and continuing disclosures.
[JURIST] Zimbabwean police have arrested at least five election officials for allegedly under-counting votes for current Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] during the March 29 presidential election [JURIST report], police officials confirmed Monday. Independent observers say that the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) [party website] candidate Morgan Tsvangirai [BBC profile] won more votes than Mugabe, but Mugabe and his Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) [party website] are demanding a recount [JURIST report] and the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC) has not yet released the official results because of "errors and miscalculations" in their compilation. The MDC has characterized the recount request as a tactic to keep Mugabe in power, while Mugabe's administration has denied any improper delays in the vote count.On Monday, a High Court judge in Harare ruled that the court has the jurisdiction to hear a lawsuit seeking a court order to compel the ZEC to immediately release the results [JURIST reports] of the elections, but refused to issue an immediate ruling in the case. On Saturday, the court postponed hearing the case [JURIST report] when lawyers for the MDC were barred by government security forces from entering the courts. Australia's ABC News has more. From Zimbabwe, the Herald has local coverage.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit [official website] on Monday reversed and vacated [PDF opinion] a jury award of $2.5 million in punitive damages awarded to a Mississippi couple who lost their home in Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive] and later sued State Farm Insurance for rejecting their homeowner insurance claim. The presiding district judge, US District Judge L. T. Senter, had already remitted the jury award to $1 million [JURIST report], finding the award excessive at twelve times the amount of economic damages awarded, but the Fifth Circuit found that punitive damages were unwarranted. The Fifth Circuit rejected the district court's decision to allow the jury to consider the plaintiff's claim that State Farm denied the insurance claim on a bad faith basis:
Although the Broussards have pointed to some facts which suggest that wind destroyed their home prior to the arrival of the tidal surge, State Farm had an arguable basis for denying their claim based on the observations of its adjuster regarding the position of the debris line and the condition of trees on and surrounding the property.
[JURIST] Former Israeli President Moshe Katsav [BBC profile] rejected a controversial plea agreement [JURIST report] Tuesday, opting instead to face rape charges [JURIST report] first brought against him in 2006. Under the terms of the plea agreement, which was upheld [JURIST report] by the Israeli Supreme Court in February, Katsav was permitted to plead guilty to lesser sex charges of indecent assault, sexual harassment, and obstruction of justice, in exchange for a suspended sentence and the dropping of the rape charges. Katsav may face up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the more serious rape charges.The deal was heavily criticized by women's and civil rights activists [JURIST report] last year when it was first made public. A victim and several rights organizations filed five separate petitions [Haaretz report] to overturn the agreement, arguing that it was contrary to public interest, had no legal reason, and injured the principal of equality before the law. Despite the criticism, Israeli Attorney General Menaham Mazuz defended the agreement as necessary to protect the office of the presidency from further injury and spare the country from embarrassment. AP has more.
[JURIST] A court in the Philippines on Tuesday sentenced nine military officers to prison for their participation in a failed 2003 coup [BBC report] against Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo [official website; BBC profile]. No shots were fired during the 2003 incident, in which 31 officers commandeered a Manila hotel, threatened to set off explosives, and held off police for 19 hours before surrendering. All nine officers changed their pleas to guilty last week, though no plea agreement had been struck with prosecutors. Two officers received 40 year sentences, while the other seven each received 12-year sentences . The nine were among the dozen officers who walked out of court [JURIST report] in November 2007 and took over a Manila hotel, again demanding Arroyo's resignation. Those involved later apologized to the court [JURIST report] for the walkout after they were formally charged with rebellion [JURIST report]. In April 2007, a Philippine military tribunal sentenced 54 military officers [JURIST report] to seven years and six months in prison for their involvement in the 2003 coup attempt. Charges were later dismissed [JURIST report] in October against four additional military officers connected to the same mutiny. AP has more.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors. The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds. The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.
Named by the Romans, who thought the gems were formed from moonlight, moonstones have a floating light effect called "adularescence." They often have translucent grounds with silvery white or blue flashes. Moonstone almost seems magical with a ghostly, shimmering glow floating in a crystalline material. With a clarity range of transparent to translucent, the gem's body color can range from colorless to gray, brown, yellow, orange, green or pink. The best moonstone has a blue sheen, perfect clarity and a colorless body color. One variety called "rainbow moonstone" has a sheen that features a variety of rainbow hues.
Moonstones are usually cut in smooth, domed cabochon shapes to maximize the effects of sheen and adularescence. Fine moonstone is already quite rare and becoming rarer. It is mined in Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Kenya. Rainbow moonstone is also found in Madagascar.
Ancient Romans thought moonstones changed appearances with the phases of the moon. They also believed that an image of Diana, the goddess of the moon, could be seen in each stone. During the Middle Ages, people believed one could gaze into the gem, fall into a deep sleep, and see the future. Today the stone represents serenity, happiness and friendship. It is believed to be a stone of inner strength and is said to arouse passions. In Europe, moonstone is considered the birthstone for June, although in the United States, it shares that distinction with the pearl. It is traditionally given as a 13th wedding anniversary gift.
Labradorite is a beautiful mineral whose charm is not fully noticed and may be overlooked if not viewed from the proper position. Generally a gray to smoky black color, it displays a strong iridescence when cut correctly. In fact, labradorite's value increases with the skill of the lapidary and strength of the iridescence. Ranking a 6.0-6.5 on Mohs Scale, its name is derived from Labrador, Canada, which is the main source of the stone. Modern folklore says that labradorite brings forth each person's strengths, originality and ability to relate to others.

It's not OK to air some issues in publicPosted Friday, July 18, 2008, at 3:03 PM
When public officials have a problem with the job performance of an appointed supervisor, those kind of personnel issues need to be discussed in private -- not in a public meeting.
That was not the case Tuesday when the Greene County Solid Waste Management District Board met. Several board members felt inclined to act on information or allegations they had received from "other" employees and confront the supervisor in a public meeting. Fortunately, in this case I was the only member of the public attending the session to witness this management debacle. We're not going to get into all of the reasons some of the board members are unhappy with the way SWMD Supervisor Debbie Haseman is doing or not doing her job. That's kind of irrelevant to this particular discussion. What is important is personnel matters need to be discussed behind closed doors -- out of the public's and the media's ear range. That's the way any of us would expect to be treated in our private-sector jobs. If my boss has an issue with the way I am handling things, he calls me into his office, we shut the door and we talk. That didn't happen with the Solid Waste Management's board. They used the public meeting as a forum to grill Haseman about the amount of time she spends in and out of the office. In the end, they also directed her to purchase a time clock and for she and the other employees at the Recycling Center to begin punching in and out. I wonder how many other supervisors or elected officials have to punch a time clock in this county? I find it real strange that her office is the only county office -- other than the county highway department -- being directed to do the time clock routine. You might say it's kind of a unusual to hear talk about closed door meeting from a veteran newspaper guy who has long been a proponent and vocal spokesman for open government and doing things under the provisions of the Indiana Open Door Law. That hasn't changed at all. Backroom meetings of governmental boards, councils or appointed committees of those elected bodies are wrong. Proper notifications need to be made every time there is a meeting or a special meeting. The Indiana Open Door Law has provisions for calling an executive session when personnel matters are discussed. That's legal, ethical and simply the right thing to do. The Solid Waste Management District Board missed the mark badly in this case. There is no excuse to bring up personnel matters in a public meeting and cause the person being questioned, accused or grilled to break into tears before the session ended. I understand that some board members might be frustrated -- especially when they "hear things" from people on the inside who are in a position to know better than they are what is going on. Some of the complaints might very well have some validity, but they need to be addressed properly. The way it all happened on Tuesday was wrong. Nick is the assistant editor for the Greene County Daily World. He can be reached by telephone at 847-4487 or 1-800-947-4487 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] Perhaps the members felt that going public and getting you to do an editorial piece in the Daily World was the best means to bring about change in the way their board was operating. That could perhaps explain their actions. Unfortunately for them, they were wrong. As far as time clocks go, why not? A little personal responsibility never hurt anyone besides those lacking it in the first place. As long as their use is universal to all county offices. Just my thoughts. -- Posted by inquisitive on Sat, Jul 19, 2008, at 10:24 PM
The "open door policy" of this board gave you an article on July 15 about tire dumping. You didn't seem to mind printing the "airing of dirty laundry" in your open forum. I find that strange... -- Posted by hilljak on Mon, Jul 21, 2008, at 7:54 PM

The New York Islanders didn't find the net against the Tampa Bay Lightning until nearly eight minutes into the third period.
That's when Michael Grabner (with an assist by Mark Streit and Brian Rolston) wristed one in to make it a 3-1 game.
Way too little, way too late.
After Steve Staios was benched two minutes for hooking Ted Purcell, Lightning forward Ryan Malone flicked one in on the power play to go up one-zip in the first.
Vincent Lecavalier joined the party in the second stanza to make it a two point lead before Steven Stamkos put Tampa Bay up 3-1 in the third period.
Brett Clark made it 4-1 with a tip-in shortly thereafter.
It was a disappointing loss for the Islanders, who drop to 3-2-0 with the loss while Tampa Bay starts to dig themselves out of the hole by improving to 2-3-2.

Eureka City School Constituents Support Repairing Aging, Deteriorating Neighborhood Schools
- Details
- Created on Friday, 07 February 2014
An independent survey of voters in the Eureka City School District shows strong support for a potential 2014 bond measure to repair aging, deteriorating schools throughout the District.
The survey, conducted in the Fall by the highly respected opinion research firm of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates, shows as much as 63% of respondents would support a local education funding measure in November 2014, well above the 55% threshold needed for passage.
The Eureka City School District commissioned the survey to obtain the public's feedback on project priorities at its school sites, and to assess potential interest in a local educational bond measure in 2014.

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds all Florida boaters to rededicate themselves to boating safely.
Three Florida panther experts recently received a conservation award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for their work in managing the endangered species.
May 18, 2010
It's not the usual fish and wildlife law violation case, but illegal dumping can have negative impacts on Florida's precious fish and wildlife resources.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will host a free hunter safety course May 21-23 in Miami-Dade County. Attendance on all three days is required for those seeking certification.
May 17, 2010
We often take for granted all the things that make our life easy until something happens to make us sit up and take notice.
The 33 new officers who make up the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) most recent graduating class are a diverse bunch. But, however unique their backgrounds, they share a common goal.
May 14, 2010
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and NOAA Fisheries Service are keeping a close eye on the BP oil spill. So far the only impacts off Florida's coast have been in the form of fishing closures well offshore in federal waters where oil has been spotted. Fishing continues to be open in the vast majority of Gulf of Mexico waters.
The season for all harvest, possession and sale of stone crab claws in Florida closes on May 16. This closure occurs each year to help protect and sustain Florida's valuable stone crab resource.
It's that time of year when boaters are hitting the water in large numbers. They're sharing the water with officers of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). And the FWC is serious about busting boaters under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
May 13, 2010

FWC Facts:According to the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting & Wildlife-Associated Recreation, 66.1 million people engage in wildlife observation, spending about $38.5 billion per year.

Intricate and beautiful, this diamond ring features a row of nine round diamonds set in enduring platinum. 3/4 carat total diamond weight.
This ring is really lovely. It looks fantastic from the side. Great value for $ and looks great stacked with my 1ct diamond solitaire - I would highly recommend.
Stephanie, Sewickley, PA – February 2014
This ring is delicate and feminine and very sparkly.
Anonymous, BROOKLYN, NY – September 2013
The stones were larger than I expected - a great plus. Also, the "u" shape of the prongs show off the stones more, so if you want a bit of bling, this is a great ring. I also wanted to have the ability to turn the ring to hide the stones, and I can do that. Also, the stones comprise almost half the circumference, so if I put my fingers all together, it looks like an infinity band. Beautiful, elegant ring. I'm so glad I chose this one!
Anonymous, San Jose, CA – June 2013
Blue Nile realizes that you may not know the ring size for a given finger, and we want to help. We provide a printable ring sizer that can help determine your ring size. Prior to printing, ensure that page scaling is set to "none" on your print dialog box.

Bridge is solid at getting you between cycle to cycle without feeling flat.
Also look into Creatine, Attack (nitrtic oxide booster), and Need2slin (carb shuttling). This will be pumps galore.
Creatine, whey and Glutamine, you can buy it pre-mixed. Its a staple for serious weight-lifters. JMO
Yea bridging would be an option, but I would like to stay off so that my hormones can return to baseline =)
Already bought some creatine, whey and glutamine. On top of that I have bought Anabolic Pump too =)
Creatine nitrate sounds intriguing too, people rave about the pump it gives =)
Oh hehe. Thanks mate, I will!
Nutrient partitioners like anabolic pump work wonders to keep the food pump/carb supersaturation alive. You can also use something like Hemavol to increase plasma volume, increase vascularity, and enhance fullness.

He was right the first time. The term "bridging"(in our little world) comes from the AAS community. Somehow us prohormone, mega supplement using guys/girls have twisted it into a new meaning. I prefer to keep it with the AAS guys were it should be. To each his own though.
ArA, creatine and gms are the only things that do much for me to keep fullness. Even nutrient re partioners have never worked as well at their job as arachadonic acid has.

Serious Nutrition Solutions Representative
Revolutionizing Sports Nutrition, One Product At A Time
i use bulk aakg, yellow gold and creatine mono
The product I mentioned in my first post "Attack" has about 3 grams off AAKG per serving.
It also has A-KIC, OKG, & GKG.
If you guys are fans of AAKG or BSN Nitrix I would recommend you trying this. It is a solid pump product and blows using just regular AAKG or Nitrix outta the water.
LOTS of Carbs....

This is a pretty cool packet trick to perform. It is definitely one of the better transpositions out
there but I only give it three stars because it does require some set up. You'll also need to pick
up some supplies in order to do this trick but you can find it almost anywhere and it is fairly
inexpensive. Having said that, this is a packet trick and like most packet tricks, they are
gimmicked. Don't let that turn you off though, because this trick will get great reactions.

This is a decent effect that will wow spectators, but it's a little too gimmicked for my liking. I
prefer more impromptu tricks, and this requires too much set up. For a great impromptu trick that
requires no set up and can even be done with a borrowed deck, go with Triumph.

This is a good trick. I like it, don't love it, but like it. It's super fair feeling, easy to

kind of finicky.

This effect is VERY beautifuly created. I expected a bunch of super fancy moves that would take
quite a while to master. But I was wrong. This is so easy, and so convincing. There's one risky
move, but it's hardly detectable. You don't end clean, but the effect is so convincing, with no
funny moves, the spectator wont think anything of it. This is like three effects in one. Two
transpositions and a signed card to pocket! The teaching method is a little rough but it's worth
the price.

Burt Elliott again appeared before the Aberdeen City Council Monday to talk about the Legislature's redistricting plans.
Elliott told the council the public seems to believe that it's too late to do anything about the plan, but he will be in Pierre for next week's special session. I am here to let you know it ain't over till it's over, he said.
Elliott also spoke to the council on Oct. 3. At the Oct. 11 meeting, the council heard comments over the phone from Sen. Al Novstrup, R-Aberdeen. At that time, Elliott said he was out of town.
A former legislator, Elliott is a member of the Brown County Commission. But, as he did Oct. 3, he said he was speaking as a private citizen.
If the proposed districts are approved, it would be a tremendous insult to the two largest agricultural-producing counties in the state, he said, referring to Brown and Spink. The voices of those counties would be diminished, he said.
If we don't do anything, then we absolutely deserve what's going to happen, Elliott said.
If the new map is approved, Elliott predicted that there will be three legislators at Aberdeen Cracker Barrels as opposed to six.
A person told him Monday, he said, that parts of Brown County will actually be represented by nine legislators.
That's not even worthy of a comment, Elliott told the council.
Council member Laure Swanson asked Elliott what he was hoping to see from the council.
I'm not here for myself, said Elliott, a Democrat.
His wife, Elaine, is a member of the House of Representatives. She has Parkinson's Disease, he said, and on the advice of her doctor, she will not seek re-election. Elliott himself will not run again for the Legislature, he said.
But he said he doesn't understand how people can say the redistricting issue has already been decided.
He said that he will submit his plan to the council.
Also at the meeting, the council:
-Passed on a second reading an ordinance making 15th Avenue Northeast from Harrison to Roosevelt Streets part of the snow emergency route.
-Gave first reading to an ordinance renewing Midcontinent Communications' cable TV franchise with the city. The ordinance authorizes Midcontinent to use the city's rights of way. The compensation is currently 3 percent of gross receipts. It will escalate to 4 percent in 2013 and 5 percent in 2015.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Nonfarm Employment Down 1,300 in Corridor for November
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Corridor job market shed 1,300 nonfarm jobs in November, due mainly to a 1,000-job drop in the Iowa City metropolitan statistical area's service sector.
The Iowa City MSA ended November down 1,100 nonfarm jobs from October levels. Employment was 800 below year-ago levels, with a year-over-year decline of 1,000 in service-providing industries, according to Iowa Workforce Development. The unemployment rate declined to 3.2 percent, from October's 3.4 percent, on a non-seasonally adjusted basis. The Cedar Rapids MSA shed 200 nonfarm jobs from October. At 139,500 jobs, the Cedar Rapids MSA was 500 jobs higher than in October 2011. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.8 percent. Manufacturing employment in the Cedar Rapids MSA was unchanged from October, but down 800 from November 2011 levels. Total nonfarm jobs also declined in the Ames MSA (-300) the Des Moines MSA (-1,100) the Dubuque MSA (-100) and the Sioux City MSA (-200). The Waterloo-Cedar Falls MSA gained 800 jobs from October, but remained 300 below year-earlier levels. Iowa's statewide unemployment rate for November of 4.9 percent was reported last week. That rate, which is seasonally adjusted, was an improvement over October's 5.1 percent rate.

Patient Experience Journey Lacks Defined Direction
On the other hand, nearly half (46%) say that HCAHPS is an effective measure of patient experience. "It is an effective measure of patient perceptions but should be only one of several listening tools employed by the hospital," says one. Another survey respondent offers, "HCAHPS scores help caregivers to prioritize and reach goals for patient experience."
Communication and consistency
Every single patient-staff interaction is a patient experience opportunity. The team responsible for patient experience should identify interactions that are predictable, such a patient arrivals, rounds, meal delivery, medication, preparation for procedures, and so on, and decide which training and education activities are appropriate for which staff groups.
It may be easy to underestimate the complexity of training for patient experience, since the domain for patient experience is so large and the responsibility is widely distributed. Synergies with other priorities such as clinical quality, safety, and patient care must be found, and can be found.

I can't turn off the Location Services on IOS6, all of the emblems being grey, it however being turned on for Maps and Find My iPad by default and can't be turned off unlike with the IOS5 software. I called the helpline, reinstalled the software, pressed the off and home button simultaneously as advised with no change. The tablet works fine apart from this issue.
My solution, based on online investigation, is that the Location Services cannot be turned off for Maps or Find My iPad by default but is not automatically turned on for other apps without permission. Is this correct or is there some software defect in IOS6? Thanks to all.

The only way Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and quarterback Tony Romo could become more hated by sports fans is if they ... oh, we don't know ... threw on a couple of Duke shirts and went to last night's Duke/North Carolina game.
Oh, would you look at that.
The only people who don't find this photo offensive are Yankees fans, Heat fans, Notre Dame fans and anyone who roots for King Joffrey Baratheon on "Game of Thrones," the Yellow King on "True Detective," and the zombies on "Walking Dead."
For what it's worth ... despite being cursed by the presence of Garrett and Romo, Duke beat UNC 93-81.
Dallas Cowboys Star to GF
I'll Pay You DOUBLE
to Quit 'Basketball Wives'
"Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele says her NFL star boyfriend ain't a fan of the VH1 show -- and he hates it so much, he offered to pay her TWICE HER SALARY to quit.
Draya -- who's dating Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick -- dropped the bombshell on Big Boy's Neighborhood show on L.A.'s Power 106 this week ... admitting the reality show has been "really hard on my boyfriend."
"We watch it together and he's came to the point already. It's been episode one, we saw 60 minutes of what is going to be going on for 12 weeks and he's like 'You know what? I don't think you should do this next year How much are they paying you again? I'll pay you double to sit your ass on the couch.'"
It seems Draya not only turned down the offer ... but said she hopes to have her own reality show in the future.

Dez Bryant
I Want to Be a Cowboy for Life
Dez Bryant tells TMZ Sports ... he would NEVER consider playing for another team in the NFC East -- because he wants to spend the rest of his NFL career on the Dallas Cowboys!!!
The wide receiver was ballin' it up at the Gridiron Celebrity Hoops charity event in Harlem yesterday when he told us straight up ... he doesn't even WANNA THINK about playing for another squad.
"I don't even think about leaving Dallas ... I'm Dallas forever. It's gonna stay that way."
We also asked him to name the best owner in the NFL -- let's just say he gave the right answer if he wants to stay in Big D.
Kenyon Martin
Cowboys Will Win the Super Bowl
(Update: No They Won't)
NBA star Kenyon Martin has picked a longshot to win the Super Bowl ... a reaaaaal longshot.
Martin was leaving a shoe store in Harlem last night when we asked for his pick to win the big game -- his answer? THE COWBOYS!!!
Obviously, there's a bit of a problem with that pick ... since, you know, they're not exactly playing.
But hey, ya gotta respect the enthusiasm.
Brooke Hogan
Calls Off Engagement
With NFL Boyfriend
Eat your vitamins and say your prayers brothers ... 'cause TMZ has learned Brooke Hogan is officially single again.
Sources close to Brooke tell us Hulk's daughter ended her engagement to Dallas Cowboys center Phil Costa a few weeks ago ... after he proposed in Vegas back in June.
We're told Brooke realized things had moved way too fast, too soon ... so she decided to call it quits and focus on her music -- before making things official forever.
Our sources say Hogan recently moved back to L.A. to put the finishing touches on her new album ... and she wanted to be closer to Momma Hogan.
Brooke posted this ringless photo a few days ago.
Looks like she won't have much trouble finding a rebound dude.
'Basketball Wives' Star
Nightclub Brawl
"Basketball Wives LA" star Draya Michele has had just about her fill of the show -- after cast tensions culminated in an all-out brawl last month inside an L.A. nightclub, leaving one girl with a black eye.
Sources close to production tell us, the fight broke out after co-star Sundy Carter badmouthed Draya's new boyfriend Dallas Cowboys star Orlando Scandrick -- and Draya snapped.
We're told it got so bad, the girls had to be physically pulled apart, and Sundy walked away with a black eye.
We're told the trash talking has been a huge issue the last few weeks, with cast members maligning Scandrick, basically calling him a philandering scumbag ... among other things .. and Draya simply reached a breaking point.
It's unclear if it's related to the fight, but we're told Draya bailed on the cast trip to Paris last week, where they were supposed to film the finale.
Sounds like trouble in paradise. Calls to Draya and VH1 were not returned.
NFL Star Major Wright
Sued Over Giant African
NFL star Major Wright just got into serious heat over his side hustle -- AFRICAN DIAMONDS -- and now he's being chased down by a couple of scary loan sharks.
Here's the short of it ... when he's not playing ball, Wright operates a diamond trading company called TDW Diamonds, and allegedly borrowed $75,000 last year in order to purchase raw South African diamonds (ranging from 21-31.5 carats).
Problem is ... the lenders are saying they still haven't been repaid, and the interest rate is borderline mafia-level.
According to their lawsuit, lenders Jimmy Michel and Marc Geffrard claim Wright promised to repay the loan PLUS 100% interest by March 2012 ... a total of $150,000 ... but that never happened.
It's now been more than a year and Michel and Geffrard say they still haven't been paid. They're suing for the full $150,000 plus even more interest.
P.S. -- the loan sharks are gonna get screwed because under Florida law, if anyone charges more than 18 percent on a loan, they forfeit their right to collect any interest at all. So, by (allegedly) signing a dumb contract, the two footballers may have outsmarted the sharks in the end.
Calls to Wright weren't returned.
Troy Aikman
Drops Millions On 2nd Home In 3 Months
Ex-Dallas Cowboys QB Troy Aikman needs just one more home in Dallas ... then he'll have one for each of his Super Bowl trophies ... cuz dude just dropped millions on ANOTHER swanky new mansion ... TMZ has learned.
The Fox Sports commentator paid $4.3 million for a 5-bedroom red brick home overlooking Turtle Creek Lake in the Highland Park area. One of the main selling points -- according to the listing -- DUCKS in the backyard. Obviously he's never had ducks in the backyard ... because they crap everywhere.
The neighborhood must be great ... because this is the 2nd crib he's bought there in the last 3 months --- in July, Aikman spent $4.25 million for a 10,000 sq. foot house not far away.
We're no mathematicians ... but that's almost $9 million dollars in new real estate. Money shouldn't be an issue, though -- Aikman made more than $11 mil on the sale of his last home 2 years ago.
Cowboys Players Sued
Our Son Almost Drowned
And It's Your Fault
Three Dallas Cowboys stars are personally responsible for a boy nearly drowning at a football camp this summer -- at least according to the kid's parents who are now suing for at least a MILLION BUCKS.
The parents of 13-year-old James Jackson Jr. filed the suit against Miles Austin, Anthony Spencer, and Brandon Carr ... claiming it's their fault James nearly drowned during a football camp held at the University of North Texas, and bearing Spencer's name.
The boy reportedly sank to the bottom of a pool -- while there were roughly 125 other kids in the water -- and had to be pulled out, given CPR, and taken to a nearby hospital.
Now his parents are pointing the finger at the players and the company that organized the camp -- claiming it was their responsibility to hire better lifeguards, and make sure the pool was safe for swimmers.
The lawsuit doesn't specify the boy's injuries, but says he suffered mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment.
We called Cowboys HQ for comment ... so far, no word back.
Harvey Levin Picks NFL Winner
'Football Is a Theatrical Sport'
It's that time of the year ... THE NFL IS BACK ... which means it's time for our resident sports expert Harvey Levin to start picking winners!!!!
First up, The New York Giants vs. the Dallas Cowboys!!!
And heeeeeeeeere we go!!
Evan: Who ya got ... New York or Dallas?
Harvey: Wait, the Giants or the Jets?
Evan: I already told you the Giants
Harvey: Oh right. Well, given that it's the Giants I'm definitely going with the Giants.
Evan: Why?
Harvey: Because I think Steve Tisch is awesome and I think the fact that he has 2 Super Bowl rings makes me as confident as Sully flying an airplane ... and I loved 'Forrest Gump.'
Evan: But Jerry Jones has 3 Super Bowl rings
Harvey: But he doesn't have an Oscar ... and that's gotta count for something.
Evan: In football?
Harvey: Sure. Football is a theatrical sport. Just watch what they do in the endzone.
Harvey: I like 'em both ... but I gotta go with Eli because he's got such pressure now to do well because of what his brother did on Thursday. Not that he's gonna get 7 tds, but I could see 4.
Evan: What about Romo?
Harvey: He's good too.
Jerry Jones
Cowboys Are Winning the Super Bowl ... Period.
There's confidence. There's overconfidence. Then there's Jerry Jones ... who made it clear, the Dallas Cowboys are WINNING the Super Bowl this year. Period.
The Cowboys owner was leaving Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills last night when he told us how it's gonna be in 2013 ... SB or bust.
The Cowboys haven't looked too shabby in their first two pre-season games -- with Dez Bryant looking especially beastly.
But do they have what it takes to go all the way this year? Or will Tony Romo find yet another way to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory?
God, we love football.
Michael Crabtree
I'm the 'Future of the NFL'
Michael Crabtree's ego has fully recovered from that huge blown call that cost him the Super Bowl -- because he now boldly predicts ... he is the FUTURE OF THE NFL!
The funniest part is ... we weren't even talking about him when he said it.
Here's the scene: the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver was leaving BOA Steakhouse with Dallas Cowboys stud receiver Dez Bryant last night -- and we asked the young stars about NFL rule changes intended to protect players from head injuries.
Neither guy replied ... so we moved on to another topic.
Now, let's play this like "Jeopardy."
Crabtree's answer is ... "You ever seen the future of the NFL? The 2 hottest receivers in the game?"
So, what is the question?
Hint: it has NOTHING to do with Crabtree's or Bryant's talents ... but it IS a hot topic in the NFL.
Michael Irvin
I'm 46 Years Old
It's been 14 years since Dallas Cowboys superstar Michael Irvin hung up his cleats ... but the guy is still SHREDDED ... and last night, he proved it.
The 46-year-old Hall of Famer was outside of a party in New Orleans last night -- talking about his new vitamin company -- when he and our camera guy started braggin' about their physiques.
But Irvin -- always one to back up his talk -- lifted up his shirt and proved he's still got a killer 6-pack.
How 'bout that Cowboy.

On the road to a low-energy house
Building technology is improving every day, but if it's a super energy-efficient dwelling you're after, the tools are already well at hand.
Once a year, the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association organizes a green buildings open house where energy nerds like myself can see the latest in home efficiency.
The homes, which are both new construction and renovations, show that builders, architects, and homeowners have unlocked the code for making buildings dramatically more energy efficient than your typical construction. The question now is whether green building techniques and products will remain on the fringe or become more mainstream.

text: Styx are an American rock band, officially formed in 1972. Early on, Styx's music reflected such then-current prog rockers as Emerson, Lake & Palmer and the Moody Blues, as evidenced by such releases as 1972's self-titled debut, 1973's Styx II, 1974's The Serpent Is Rising, and 1975's Man of Miracles. Their track "Lady" broke them into the mainstream, and they subsequently changed record labels and released the most successful albums of their career - 1976's "Crystal Ball", 1977's "The Grand Illusion", 1978's "Pieces of Eight", and 1979's "Cornerstone" all went platinum. Tommy Shaw, James �JY� Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman and Ricky Phillips (along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo), have performed more live since �99 than all of the previous years of its career combined. Two Super-Bowl appearances, Pollstar Box Office chart-topping tours with Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Bad Company (to name only a few), two more studio albums and no end in sight, STYX continues to conquer the planet, one venue at a time.

I had the great pleasure of attending last week's "Friends of Food" dinner at Paterno's at the Park, an initiative of the Farm2U Collaborative celebrating local foods, farms and producers.
Everything on the menu that night was nice.
An amazing spread of antipasto. A shaved Brussels sprout salad with lemon vinaigrette. Pumpkin soup topped with brown butter crab. (Although all at our table agreed the brown butter crab should have been the star of that last dish, with a drizzle of the pumpkin soup to complement it.)
But the runaway hit of the night was Paterno chef Michael Aiello's phenomenal shortrib stew served with house-made gnocchi, braised cipolini onions and baby carrots.
It was a quintessential fall dish - a combination of flavors blended with incredible finesse - and the bold red wine served with it was a perfect pairing. We simply couldn't get enough of either, and Lord knows we tried.
But lucky for us, there's more where that came from.
When we stalked Chef Aiello afterward to praise him for a job well down, he gave us a heads-up that the dish will debut on the Paterno's menu soon. When it does, race on down to sink your teeth into something truly special.
I've been a fan of Chef Aiello's cooking talents all along, but the dude is now officially a culinary rock god in my eyes.
Monday was National Chocolate Day, and I sure hope you lived it up.
Because according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, chocoholics may soon have to shell out a lot more dough to get their fix.
The report predicts the cost of one kilogram of chocolate purchased in the United States is expected to hit a record high of $12.25 this year, a 45 percent increase from 2007.
The increase is largely due to - are you sitting down? - an international shortage of cocoa beans, the special ingredient that gives chocolate its melt-in-your-mouth texture. Those beans are in increasingly short supply because consumers are gobbling up chocolate in higher and higher quantities, particularly the darker varieties that take more cocoa beans to make.
Expensive chocolate? Or maybe none at all someday?
Boo. Hiss.
We need a presidential task force or Nobel commission to figure this crisis out.
Speaking of chocolate ...
Thursday night is Trick-or-Treat, a fun night for sure, but one met with two distinctly different reactions in the Keith household.
For three young boys, it's scoring the mother lode of all jackpots. They'd give up a Powerball win for a bag full of treats.
But for the two parents who will groan at the sight of these massive mounds of sugar, it's the start of a rough few weeks as unpopular Treat Police. We'll ration it, hide it, give some away, sneak some of the better stuff ourselves - all to a chorus of inevitable jeers.
