William Richard "Billy" West (born April 16, 1952)[2] is an American voice actor, singer and comedian best known for his voice-work in a number of television shows, films and commercials. He has done hundreds of voice-overs in his career such as Ren Höek (Season 3 and onward) and Stimpson (Stimpy) J. Cat on The Ren & Stimpy Show, Doug Funnie, Porkchop, Roger Klotz on Doug, Philip J. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg and a number of others on Futurama. He also does voices for commercials and is the current voice of the red M&M and Buzz, the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee. In addition to his original voices, he has also voiced Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Shaggy Rogers, Popeye, and Woody Woodpecker during later renditions of the respective characters. He was also a cast member on The Howard Stern Show.

William Richard West was born in Detroit, Michigan on April 16, 1952. He was raised in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. West played in several bands in the late 1960s and 1970s and began a radio career in 1980. West has been sober since the age of 35 and is a vegan.[3][4][5]
West worked at WBCN in Boston performing daily on the air on The Big Mattress show, then moved to New York City in 1988 with no guaranteed future, working at K-Rock Radio (92.3 FM WXRK). West was discovered by Howard Stern during that time and became a regular on that radio show until leaving in 1995. Once again, West ventured into the unknown having moved to Los Angeles where he found considerable continued success as an in-demand voice actor and performer. West continues his status and career to this day.
West launched his career in the early 1980s performing daily comedic routines on Boston's WBCN. He left the radio station in 1988 to work on the short-lived revival of Beany and Cecil, which would be his first role in television. He was also a castmember and impressionist on The Howard Stern Show during the 1990s, where he gained considerable fame with his impersonations of Three Stooges middleman Larry Fine, late Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott and Stern's head writer Jackie Martling . West's most notable film work was in Space Jam (1996) providing the voice of both Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. He has provided the same voices for other Looney Tunes films and video games.
West's first two high-profile roles came almost simultaneously: Doug and Ren & Stimpy, which were two of the first original three Nicktoons (the other being Rugrats). Over his career West has been the voice talent for close to 120 different characters including some of the most iconic animated figures in television history. He has become one of few voice actors who can impersonate Mel Blanc in his prime, including characterizations of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and other characters from Warner Bros. cartoons. In 1998, Entertainment Weekly described West as "the new Mel Blanc" and noted his ability to mimic well-known voices,[6] though he would rather develop original voices.[6] West's favorite characters are Philip J. Fry and Stimpy, both of which he originated.[7] West has been very outspoken over his displeasure about the influx of movie star actors providing voice-over for films and major shows.[8][9] West has stated that he did not like the Disney version of Doug, and that he "couldn't watch" the show.[10][11] West was the voice of the show's namesake, Geeker, throughout Project Geeker's 13 episode run. West was the voice of Zim in the original pilot for Nickelodeon's Invader Zim.[1] Richard Horvitz was chosen for the series role because West's voice was too recognizable, according to Invader Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez during DVD commentary. West is also the voice of "Red" in numerous M&M commercials as well as the 3-D movie "I Lost my M in Vegas", currently playing at M&M's World in Las Vegas, NV. West also voices a number of characters in the series Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World. He does not play a regular character in that series, but appears in almost every episode of the show voicing various minor and one-off characters. West voiced the character Moobeard in Moobeard the Cow Pirate, a short animation featured on Random! Cartoons, and reprises his role as Elmer Fudd in Cartoon Network's series The Looney Tunes Show.
Ren & Stimpy[edit]
West provided the voice of Stimpy in Nickelodeon's The Ren & Stimpy Show from 1991 until 1996, and he provided the voice of Ren from 1993–1996 (after Ren's original voice and series creator John Kricfalusi was fired by Nickelodeon for delivering un-airable episodes). West performed other characters on the series as well, such as Mr. Horse (another role that West was issued after Kricfalusi's departure) and the "Announcer/Salesman" of such shorts as the "Log" ads (a voice West would years later use as the Narrator for The Weird Al Show).
According to West, he was originally supposed to do the voice of both Ren and Stimpy (and performed both characters on the tape that was used to sell the show to Nickelodeon), but then Kricfalusi decided to do the voice of Ren himself once the show was sold and he had West on board as part of the selling point.[12] However, West provided Ren's maniacal laughter when John Kricfalusi was the voice of Ren.
Billy West's roles in Futurama include Philip J. Fry, Professor Hubert Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg and Zapp Brannigan, as well as various other incidental characters. As he and other Futurama cast and crew point out in DVD commentaries, West voiced so many characters throughout the series that conversations are often held entirely between characters he is voicing.
West went into the Futurama auditions and was asked to try out for, as he says, "just about every part";[13] eventually landing the professor, Zoidberg, and Zapp Brannigan. West later got the part of Fry, which originally had gone to Charlie Schlatter.[14] While West is known for doing many different and unique voices, the voice he does for Philip J. Fry is often considered to be closer to his natural voice than any other character he has done (in an audio commentary, he states Fry is just himself at age 25).[15] This similarity, West acknowledges, was done purposefully in order to make it harder to replace him in the part[16] along with placing more of himself personally into the role (DVD commentary).
The part of Zapp Brannigan was created for Phil Hartman, but he died before the show started and West was issued the role. West has described his interpretation of Zapp Brannigan's voice as an imitation of Hartman, but described the actual vocalizations of the character as being based on "a couple of big dumb announcers I knew."[17]
Futurama was renewed by Comedy Central as four direct-to-DVD films broken into 16 television episodes.[18] West reprised his roles for these films, and has been signed on for a new 26-episode season of Futurama which began airing in June 2010.[19]
Commercial television[edit]
West was the announcer of the program Screen Gems Network which ran from 1999–2001. He was also the promotional announcer for The Comedy Channel before it merged with HA! to become Comedy Central. Over his career, Billy West has voiced multiple characters in television commercials. These include (but are not limited to):
- "Red", the plain/milk chocolate M&M (1996— ) (after Jon Lovitz departure from the role in 1996)[6]
- BuzzBee, the honey nut bee for Honey Nut Cheerios
- An alien for Pentium 4
- Popeye for Minute Maid
- Babe Ruth, Mickey Goldmill,[20] and Bruce Lee for Brisk Iced Tea.
West voiced the Speed Racer character in a late-1990s advertisement for Volkswagen,[6] because the commercial's producers could not locate Peter Fernandez, the original voice of Speed. However, the producers did locate Corinne Orr, the original voice for the characters Trixie and Spritle.[citation needed]
Internet entertainment[edit]
He also provided voices for the Eric Kaplan-created webtoon Zombie College as well as voicing two characters in Tofu the Vegan Zombie.[21]
Perhaps West's most notable film work came in the 1996 movie Space Jam, where he provided the voice of both Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. West reprised the roles of Bugs and Fudd in subsequent Looney Tunes feature-length films and returned as Fudd in the theatrically released Looney Tunes: Back in Action. In 1998, West starred in the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island as Shaggy Rogers, becoming the second person to portray the character (the first being Casey Kasem). He was one of the top contenders to replace Kasem after his retirement in 2009, but lost the role to Matthew Lillard. In 2000, he provided additional voices in Disney's Dinosaur. In 2004, West voiced the classic character Popeye in the 75th anniversary film Popeye's Voyage: The Quest for Pappy, and made his live-action film debut in Mark Hamill's Comic Book: The Movie. He also appeared in a cameo in Garfield: The Movie. Other films featuring West's vocal talents include Joe's Apartment, Cats & Dogs, Olive, the Other Reindeer, TMNT, The Proud Family Movie, and three Tom and Jerry direct-to-video movies.
West is also a guitarist and singer-songwriter with a band called Billy West and The Grief Counselors. They have released their first album, Me-Pod.[22] West has toured as a guitarist for Roy Orbison and Brian Wilson.[6]
In 1982, West sang lead, doing an impersonation of Mike Love, on a Beach Boys-inspired tune, "Another Cape Cod Summer This Year," by studio band ROUTE 28, written and produced by Erik Lindgren on his Arf! Arf! Records label.[citation needed]
West has collaborated with Deborah Harry, Lou Reed, and Los Lobos, and he has played live on several occasions with Brian Wilson, including the guitar solo on the Beach Boys tune "Do it Again" on Late Show with David Letterman, in the mid-1990s.[23]
The Futurama episode "Proposition Infinity" features the track "Shut up and Love Me" which was written and played by Billy West and Greg Leon.[24]
Throughout the 1980s, Billy West provided character voices on Charles Laquidara's Big Mattress radio show on Boston's WBCN. West was also one half of the award winning WBCN Production team from 1980–1986. From 1989 through 1995,[25] West provided The Howard Stern Show with character voices such as Jim Backus, Lucille Ball, Raymond Burr, Johnny Carson, Connie Chung, Sammy Davis, Jr., Doris Day, Louis "Red" Deutsch, David Dinkins, Mia Farrow, Larry Fine, Pete Fornatale, Frank Gifford, Kathy Lee Gifford, Rudolph Giuliani, Mark Goddard, Bobcat Goldthwait, the Greaseman, Jonathan Harris (as Dr. Zachary Smith), Leona Helmsley, Shemp Howard, Lance Ito, Elton John, Jane Curtin, Don Knotts, Jay Leno, Nelson Mandela, Jackie Martling (as the Jackie puppet), Ed McMahon, Al Michaels, Billy Mumy (as Will Robinson), Cardinal John Joseph O'Connor, Maury Povich, Soon-Yi Previn, Marge Schott, Frank Sinatra, Rae Stern (Howard Stern's mother), George Takei, Joe Walsh, and Robin Williams until eventually leaving the show over money.[26] West was an occasional contributor to The Adam Carolla Show, a syndicated morning radio show that replaced Stern's show on CBS in LA. On February 19 and 20, 2007, The Howard Stern Show ran a special two-part retrospective of West's work with the show. It marked his first work with the show since leaving after his last show on November 1, 1995.[citation needed] On June 9, 2009, West appeared on Jackie Martling's Jackie's Joke Hunt on Stern's satellite radio channel Howard 101.[27]
Video games[edit]
West's talents have also extended into the realm of video games. Characters most notably voiced by West are perhaps Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in numerous Looney Tunes video games.

Orlando Cruz announces that he's gay??? Wow! I mean I can't really be surprised in this era we live in today, but can you imagine if this guy gets to an elite level and starts beating top notch opposition? He'll have more problems than President Obama in this per-dominantly heterosexual sport. I mean seeing Cotto on 24/7 share a bed with dude and play with each others "dooky shoot" (as Mayweather put it) is one thing, but having an openly gay fighter on 24/7???
Anyways I'd watch the fight but you wouldn't catch me rooting for a gay fighter to win it lol, nope. |

I hate to bring this thread up again, but I see one more story on Boxing Scene about Orlando Cruz being happy that he's an ankle-grabber, I'm gonna fuckin' vomit. Don't get me wrong, I like Boxing Scene, but c'mon with the Cruz stories.
One thing that chaps my ass about those that live the alternative lifestyle, is shit like this. In the beginning, they're nervous and humble, before and shortly after they come out...then BOOM, they start overdoing it. Before you know it, they turn into a full-fledged hetero hater and wait for somebody to say the slightest thing, so they can take it to the extreme. Trust me, i'm waiting for it...it wont be long. |

MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch'.
AFD is a program to automatically distribute files either locally or to remote hosts. The files are distributed by using FTP or SMTP, and can be sent in parallel and with priority. It provides a GUI to monitor and control the distribution and extensive logging of all activities.
Ametys is a powerful Web CMS used by many institutions of higher education and government, but also industries and SMEs. It is known for its ergonomic design which promotes ease of use, its social Web functionality, and the ability to manage a large number of users. It makes content publishing accessible for the non-programmer and provides an easy editorial interface very similar to Microsoft Office applications.
The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and MidnightBSD projects and Android. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable, and Byte Order Marks are ignored in scripts. The shell supports large files, as well as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, zsh, and GNU bash features, is compatible with the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits), has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins and features. While being already fast and small (without losing functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at compile time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.

IMP Group Limited, Aerospace Division announced today that it will be rolling out the first re-winged CP-140 Aurora aircraft for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). These aircraft are receiving new wings as part of a mid-life structural upgrade being carried out by IMP Aerospace.
The wing replacement is part of the Aurora Structural Life Extension Project (ASLEP), which also includes the replacement of the center wing lower surface and horizontal stabilizer. Ultimately, all life limiting structure is replaced with new components made from advanced alloys that offer a five-fold increase in corrosion resistance, providing a significant reduction in future maintenance and sustainment costs.
IMP has been contracted by the RCAF to refit ten CP-140 Aurora aircraft under the ASLEP program. Originally designed for anti-submarine warfare, the CP-140 Aurora long-range patrol aircraft has been modified to expand its capabilities and can now take on a much broader range of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, both at home and abroad.
David Gossen, IMP Aerospace President, stated, "IMP Aerospace has been supporting the CP-140 Aurora since its entry into service with the RCAF in 1981. The completion of the first ASLEP aircraft represents a major milestone for IMP Aerospace. Our company has made a significant investment in our people and facilities to establish this world-class capability, including construction of a purpose-built hangar equipped with specialized tooling to support major structural upgrades such as wing replacement, as well as extensive training for our employees. For the RCAF, the ASLEP installation provides an economic service life extension of an additional 15,000 flight hours, allowing them to keep this strategic asset operational for decades to come. IMP stands ready to carry out the ASLEP modification of Canada's remaining fleet of CP-140 Aurora aircraft, thus providing the RCAF with a fully standardized fleet to support the demanding operational requirements over land and sea."
"The Royal Canadian Air Force's CP-140 Aurora fleet is a critical asset to the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance community around the world. Lockheed Martin is honored to support both the RCAF and IMP in providing these new modernized CP-140s," said Ray Burick, Lockheed Martin Vice President of P-3 Programs and Greenville Operations. "We look forward to continuing these relationships as we are committed to enabling CP-140 fleet operations for decades to come."

Current Work Most of my work is wheel thrown although a proportion is press moulded. I now have three kilns. The latest addition is a three chambered wood kiln which incorporates a small Anagama firebox and a salt chamber. There are two showrooms at the pottery where a range of pieces can be seen from Guinomi and Yunomi up to large bottles sometimes 25 inches tall. The wood kiln is taking up much of my attention right now. Other Information: Technical Information The pots are glazed at 1300deg. C., There is a gas fired salt kiln, an oil fired reduction kiln and the three chamber wood fired kiln. The glazes make use of local materials, particularly wood-ash, but also using local stone dusts and clays. The salt glaze takes advantage of a technique discovered in the 15th Century, using common salt, which produces a hard and durable glaze with a rich and sensuous surface. History

Jessica Biel in Skinny Jeans
I don't know what happened to fit, muscular and good-looking Jessica Biel but if I had to guess I'd say a judgemental Justin Timberlake killed her and built a skinnier, more alt version of her with the spare parts. This is some ugly shiz you're wearing here Jess, and even with a good body you're not pulling it off.
Internet bloggers seem to think Jessica is desperate and clingy to Justin. Thinking that she might be this way is beyond disappointing, especially for someone who usually plays badass chick roles. Do you think it's true?

Pain is the number one symptom. Your child may tell you that his ear hurts. Or, if he can't talk yet but seems cranky or is tugging at his ear, an ear infection is a definite possibility. A recent cold or sinus infection is another clue. He may or may not have a fever.
You may also notice the following symptoms:
Ear infections are the second most commonly diagnosed illness in children in the United States (after the common cold). About half of babies have at least one ear infection by the time they turn 1 year old, and three out of four have at least one ear infection by their third birthday.
An ear infection can be caused by bacteria or a virus. It happens when fluid builds up in the area behind your child's eardrum and then becomes infected.
Normally any fluid that enters this area leaves pretty quickly through the eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and throat. But if the eustachian tube is blocked – as often happens during colds, sinus infections, even allergy season – the fluid gets trapped in the middle ear.
Germs like to grow in dark, warm, wet places, so a fluid-filled middle ear is the perfect breeding ground. As the infection gets worse, the inflammation in and behind the eardrum tends to increase, making the condition more painful.
Fever may develop as your child's body attempts to fight the infection. The medical term for this condition – an inflammation of the middle ear with an accumulation of fluid, pain, a red eardrum, and sometimes a fever – is acute otitis media (AOM).
Using a pacifier may increase the risk of middle ear infections in babies and young children. In one study, the incidence of ear infections was 33 percent lower in babies who didn't use pacifiers.
Babies and children are particularly susceptible to ear infections because their eustachian tubes are short (about 1/2 inch) and horizontal. As they grow to adulthood, their tubes triple in length and become more vertical, so fluid can drain more easily.
Call at the first sign of an ear infection. The doctor will need to take a look in your child's ear with an instrument called an otoscope. An eardrum that's red, bulging, and possibly draining is probably infected.
The doctor may also look to see whether the eardrum moves in response to a device called a pneumatic otoscope, which releases a brief puff of air into the ear. If it's not moving, that's one more clue that fluid is collecting in the middle ear and may be infected.
It depends on your child's symptoms.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends an antibiotic if your child has severe symptoms that indicate (or strongly suggest) AOM. If symptoms aren't severe and your child is 2 years or older, AAP guidelines recommend keeping an eye on your child for 48 to 72 hours to see whether he gets better without antibiotics. (Eighty percent of children with AOM get better without antibiotics.)
The doctor will consider your child's age and symptoms and decide what's best. "The sicker the child looks, the more you go the precaution route and prescribe an antibiotic right away," says Robert Ruben, an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor) at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
If your child does get a prescription, make sure you give him the entire course of antibiotics and follow up with an ear recheck a few weeks later so the doctor can gauge whether the medicine did its job.
Keep in mind that the antibiotic will not relieve your child's pain in the first 24 hours – in fact, it will only minimally affect it after that. What's more likely to help is the correct dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen. (Never give your child aspirin as it makes him more susceptible to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disorder.)
Your child may also be comforted by a warm compress held to his ear or eardrops. (Ask the doctor about the best drops to use.) It may also be helpful to elevate your child's head when he's lying down.
Whether or not you're treating your child with antibiotics, if he isn't getting better after a few days – if he still has a fever or any of the other symptoms he started out with or he's getting worse – call your doctor. The doctor may want to switch the antibiotic, or start a course of antibiotics if you took the wait-and-see approach.
Ear infections aren't contagious, but the respiratory infections that often precede and accompany them are. To reduce the spread of germs, wash your hands (and your child's hands) often — always after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before eating or preparing food.
Two other good ways to prevent ear infections:
Keep your child up-to-date on his vaccines.
The pneumococcal vaccine has been shown to help reduce the number of ear infections. If your child has suffered repeated ear infections, especially after bouts with the flu, you may also want to consider an annual flu shot.
Keep your child away from all tobacco smoke.
Researchers have concluded that kids whose parents smoke are more likely to get ear infections and have hearing problems. Kids living with a smoker have a 37 percent higher risk of middle ear infections and hearing problems and a 62 percent higher risk if the mom is the household smoker. Kids are also 86 percent more likely to receive surgery for their middle ear problems when their mothers smoke, compared with children who have no smokers in their household.
Even a weekend spent in a house with a smoker can be harmful and increase your child's chances of getting an ear infection. Tobacco smoke seems to suppress the immune system, making it more difficult for your child to fight off infection. Don't let people smoke in your house, and keep your child out of smoky environments.
A child with multiple ear infections – which, for many children, is actually one ear infection that lingers on for months despite antibiotic treatment – may be a good candidate for ear tubes. The procedure of inserting ear tubes, is performed on about 660,000 children in the United States each year.
During the procedure, which is done under general anesthesia, an otolaryngologist makes a tiny incision in the child's eardrum and inserts a small tube into the slit. The tube releases pressure and acts as a vent, letting air in and fluid out.
"It's an artificial Eeustachian tube that allows the ear to 'breathe' until the real Eustachian tube regains its normal function," explains Ruben.
Your child's doctor may suggest this surgical solution because a child with persistent fluid in his ears (or otitis media with effusion) is a prime candidate for repeated ear infections and hearing loss. Also, while the research has been inconclusive, some experts also suggest that hearing loss resulting from persistent fluid in the ears can lead to delays in language development.
Ruben cites research that says children with persistent ear problems have specific hearing difficulties later in life, especially when listening to speech in a noisy environment like a classroom.
"In addition," he says, "some of these children – especially those with developmental delays and those who have specific language delays – are more susceptible to behavioral problems." The length of time the child suffered hearing loss as well as the extent of the impairment are important factors, Ruben says.
The AAP recommends tubes for children with a hearing loss of over a certain level, for children with structural damage in the middle ear, and for children with persistent middle ear infections or persistent fluid.
What should you do? Talk with your child's doctor and weigh the pros and cons for you and your child.
They can be. A severe or untreated infection can rupture your child's eardrum. Ruptures don't happen often and they generally heal quickly, but it's important to see your child's doctor for a follow-up to make sure that the infection has cleared and that the eardrum is healing well.
Repeated ear infections sometimes lead to hearing loss and scarring. In very rare cases, untreated ear infections lead to an infection of the skull behind the ear (mastoiditis) or meningitis.

Errata: On February 13, 2014, the following (italicized) corrections were made to this page:
The 2014 Farm Act was signed into law on February 7. ERS will publish highlights and some implications of the new programs and provisions soon. Sign up for the ERS Farm Bill e-newsletter to receive an email when this page is updated.
The United States addresses agricultural and food policy through a variety of programs, including commodity support, nutrition assistance, and conservation. The primary legal framework for agricultural policy is set through a legislative process that occurs approximately every 5 years.
A new farm law, the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Act), was signed on February 7, 2014, and will remain in force through 2018. The 2014 Farm Act makes major changes in commodity programs, adds new crop insurance options, streamlines conservation programs, modifies key provisions of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and expands programs for specialty crops, organic farmers, bioenergy, rural development, and beginning farmers and ranchers. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that 80 percent of outlays under the 2014 Farm Act will fund nutrition programs, 8 percent will fund crop insurance programs, 6 percent will fund conservation programs, 5 percent will fund commodity programs, and the remaining 1 percent will fund all other programs, including trade, credit, rural development, research and extension, forestry, energy, horticulture, and miscellaneous programs.
The 2014 Farm Act makes major changes in commodity programs, ending more than 15 years of crop programs that made payments to producers based on historical production, removing upland cotton from coverage under Title I programs, and introducing a new dairy margin insurance program. The legislation also reauthorizes Supplemental Disaster Assistance programs for livestock and orchard and nursery crops. The Congressional Budget Office projects these changes will reduce outlays by $6 billion (nominal $), or 25 percent, over the projected costs of continuing current programs.
The 2014 Farm Act maintains strong overall funding for USDA conservation programs. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that between 2014 and 2018, mandatory spending on USDA conservation programs will decline by $200 million-- less than 1 percent of the $28 billion (nominal $) that would have been spent if the 2008 Farm Act had continued through 2018. All major conservation programs, with the exception of Conservation Technical Assistance, have mandatory funding. Among the major changes:
The 2014 Farm Act adds new programs to Federal Crop Insurance and expands programs to better address the needs of underserved commodities, organic producers, and beginning farmers and ranchers. The Congressional Budget Office estimates new programs and adjustments to existing programs will add just under $2 billion (nominal $), or 5 percent, to 2014-2018 outlays for Federal Crop Insurance and related programs over projected costs of current programs.
The core research and data program of the Economic Research Service covers the breadth of USDA programs touched by farm legislation: farming, nutrition, conservation, rural development, research, and energy.

Charcoal Grill Ash Pans
As you're grilling, the grill ashtray collects the ash and debris that burns off the charcoal or wood briquettes. Over time, the hot ash and heat from the grill can melt the pan. So, even though charcoal grills have a long lifespan, some ash pans may need to be replaced after a few years. Char-Broil offers many metal ash pans for charcoal grills that can withstand the heat.

I'm certain my biological Mother Married a Nazi decades ago and they lived their lives as hermits. She found out something shortly after they married that frightened her and caused him to beat her on a regular basis with the promise she would not tell his secret. His name was Robert Bartram and he was killed at 93 years old just a few months ago. But that shouldn't let him and his previous crimes off the hook. History must be corrected. It means a lot to me as I have good evidence that Robert in fact killed Julies' first husband and then killed his current wife who were all young, healthy friends. Although it is hard for me with my financial situation to pursue it but feel it's time to bring the police in now that Julie can no longer be hurt. Another suspicious thing, the first night I visited them and stayed over their house back in 1982 , I was trying to make conversation with them at the dinner table and said very casually---Bartram, is that a German name?? He went BESERK, throughing his dinner plates against the wall and then went straight to him room murmering in German. Julie went in to try to calm him but the fighting didn''t stop. When I was poking through pictures I ran across several of Robert in what looked to be Nazi garb. He often talked about the medals he won in the war but would NEVER show them to anybody. which we all found odd since he really loved to toot his own horn. I knocked on their door where Robert was still ranting and Julie came out of the room. I told her it was never my intent to cause her problems and I was going to leave even though it was 2 a.m. and a blizzard from Ct. to Boston where I lived. I packed up my car, started it up and noticed the oil light on. I was frightened to go back to the house but they lived in the middle of no where and I needed an open gas station. When I told Julie, Robert was listening in and said he had oil in the garage and would fill it for me. I thought nothing of it until I made it to route 95 North past Milford Ct. when my new car stopped working, I eased it over into the breakdown lane and waited hours for triple a because of the storm size. When the guy got there and lifted my hood, he said all my wires had been pulled and was amazed I was able to safely pull it off the road. On later check the next morning, I was also informed my brakes had been partially cut. Who is this monster who was so afraid of his wife, my mother forging a bond that would have allowed her to leave him without being afraid for her life. I believe he used unmerciful poison on both Julie, his first wife and her first husband so he and Julie could be together because as I said those cases were called unusual and not much info is available in any of them. I believe the reason he got a way with it is because he frightened the life out of his family, had very few friends and was a very old man who played the grief card well. Oh by the way, Roberts 1st wife, Julies' 1st husband and now Julie were all young healthy people who became mysteriously ill when Bob was around. I know for a fact they all wanted burial ceremony's but Bob took charge and within a day had each of them creamated. Can you help, I have recent pictures and a few from when he was younger!

Published May 8, 2013
You can't hide from justice forever—not even for war crimes committed decades in the past, and not even when you're 93.
That message resounded loudly this week as Germany announced the arrest of Hans Lipschis, age 93, for complicity in mass murders that took place at the notorious Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, where he served as a guard in 1941-1945. Lipschis—who says he worked as a cook at Auschwitz—is the first to be charged from among a list of 50 former Auschwitz guards that the country's Central Office of the Judicial Authorities for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes plans to probe.
The Demjanjuk Precedent
Why go after them now, 68 years after the end of World War II? Because it was not always possible to do so in the past. In 2011, the conviction in Germany of Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk, who had served as a guard at the Sobibor death camp in Poland, set a legal precedent for interpreting evidence more broadly than before. Until then, German prosecutors essentially had to prove that a suspect had committed specific crimes against specific victims at a particular time and date, and such direct evidence against camp guards was difficult to produce.
Demjanjuk's conviction—in which his SS identity card from Sobibor played a major role—"was a game-changer because it allows for the prosecution of people who would otherwise not have been prosecuted," said Efraim Zuroff, the Chief Nazi Hunter for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a global Jewish human rights organization whose mission includes confronting anti-Semitism and promoting tolerance.
As a result of the Demjanjuk precedent, guards who worked at death camps could be charged with abetting, contributing to, or being complicit in the killings that took place there.
Lipschis is an example. "We don't know if Lipschis personally murdered anyone, but he served at Auschwitz for almost the entire time that the camp was in existence," Zuroff said. Lipschis had lived in Chicago since the 1950s, but was deported from the United States in 1983 for falsifying his past as a Nazi. Of the 50 former guards being sought for investigation in Germany, Lipschis was the only one to also appear on the SWC's 2013 Most Wanted Nazi War Criminals list.
Number One on the List
The highly dubious "honor" of being number one on the SWC list goes to Laszlo Csatary, now 98. While serving as a senior police officer in Hungarian-occupied Slovakia in 1944, he organized the deportation of approximately 15,700 Jews to the Auschwitz death camp. In 1948, a Czechoslovak court convicted and sentenced him to death in absentia.
Csatary eluded authorities, fleeing Europe for Canada. He worked there as an art dealer until 1997, when Canadian authorities found out he had lied on his passport application and revoked his citizenship. He did not surface again until 2011, when he was spotted in Budapest, Hungary, as the result of a tip received by Operation Last Chance, a joint project of the SWC and the Tagum Shlishi Foundation of Miami. He awaits possible prosecution in Hungary, where he is currently under house arrest, or—if he is extradited—in Slovakia. "Until we exposed him, he was driving his own car," said Zuroff.
Second on the SWC list is Gerhard Sommer, a former SS-Untersturmfuehrer in the 16th Panzergrenadier Division Reichsfuehrer-SS, who was convicted in absentia in 2005 by a military court in La Spezia, Italy, for participating in the 1944 massacre of 560 civilians in Sant'Anna di Stazzema. No criminal charges have as yet been brought in Germany, where Sommer now lives in a nursing home. "We're not that optimistic" about his being brought to justice, said Zuroff, "because he has been under investigation for several years, but so far there has been no progress in prosecuting him."
Vladimir Katriuk is third on the SWC list, which describes him as having served as a platoon commander of a Ukranian battalion that "carried out the murder of Jews and innocent civilians in various places in Belarus."
Like Csatary, Katriuk managed to emigrate to Canada after the war. He gained citizenship and was reported to have been a beekeeper and a prominent member of his local Orthodox Church. Although his citizenship was revoked in 1999 after his Nazi collaboration became known, the decision was overturned in 2007. Since then, however, new evidence has come to light about Katriuk's role in the mass murder of the residents of Khatyn, Belarus.
Why Age Is Not a Factor
Even though most of those on both lists are now in their late 80s or 90s, their age is no reason to stop seeking justice, said Zuroff, who is the author of Operation Last Chance: One Man's Quest to Bring Nazi Criminals to Justice. "Don't look at these people and say they look frail and weak. Think of someone who at the height of his powers devoted his energies to murdering men, women, and children."
He added: "The passage of time in no way diminishes the guilt of the killers. Old age should not provide protection. The fact that they have reached an elderly age does not turn them into righteous gentiles."
Holocaust historian and Emory University professor Deborah Lipstadt agrees that there is no time limit. "Just because they did this a long time ago doesn't mean they should be exonerated," said Lipstadt, author of such books as Denying the Holocaust and The Eichmann Trial. "If someone raped children decades ago and we found that person now in his 80s or 90s, you would still say they should be tried. The victims deserve to have the perpetrators brought to justice. And society needs to know that you don't get a free pass."

For over a half-century McIntosh Laboratory has produced some of the consumer audio industry's most desirable products and is now shipping its 60th Anniversary MXA60 Integrated Audio System.
The MXA60 (MSRP $7,500) is the New York-based company's first stand-alone, all-in-one system and it incorporates a 75-watt per channel solid-state amplification section, a tube-based preamplification section, a CD and SACD disc player, capabilities to play MP3 and other compressed audio files, an AM/FM/RBDS tuner and a pair of two-way, bass-reflex loudspeakers.
McIntosh president Charlie Randall says that following the system's introduction several months ago, the company has fielded a lot of requests about the product.
"Ever since we introduced the MXA60 earlier this year we've been receiving a great deal of interest, both from our retail partners and from consumers," says Randall.
"In many ways this unique system represents what McIntosh has always been about. It combines our ongoing pursuit of audio perfection with our commitment to utilizing the latest, most advanced technologies in products that meet and exceed changing customer desires."
Aesthetically the system features an all-metal case with anodized aluminum accents, backlit glass faceplates with peak reading watt meters that together combine the company's classic industrial designs with modern touches.

Ahold announced Thursday consolidated net sales of 7.8 billion euros for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 7.5 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. At constant exchange rates, net sales were up 5.1 percent.
For the full year 2012, consolidated net sales were 32.8 billion euros, an increase of 8.5 percent compared with 2011. At constant exchange rates net sales were up 3.5 percent.
In the United States sales were up 4.3 percent.
"Our strong performance was partly driven by the exceptional efforts of our teams during Hurricane Sandy, which enabled our stores to remain open and to serve our customers during these difficult times," Ahold said in an earnings release. "The positive sales impact of Sandy was partly offset by a negative calendar impact due to the timing of year end."
Ahold continued to gain market share in all of its divisions. The 15 Genuardi's stores Ahold acquired in 2012 performed in line with expectations. Ahold announced they have opened another four pick-up points, bringing the total to eight in the United States.

Kimberly Lankford, author of The Insurance Maze, says too many people make life decisions based on access to health insurance. They're afraid to start their own business, retire early or leave a job they hate because they worry that they won't be able to get health insurance on their own or can't afford the premiums.
In most cases, people can find health insurance—and save hundreds of dollars in premiums—if they know how to shop around, present their case and make the most of their state consumer-protection laws. Kimberly shares the top six strategies for finding the right health insurance at the best price…and making sure you get the coverage you deserve. 1. There is one number you need to learn today—and that is the amount of your maximum coverage! These enormous insurance policies are long and confusing. The one thing you need to check right away is your maximum coverage. The higher the number the better, but you want to have maximum coverage somewhere in the range of $3 to $5 million. Anything less than this might leave you exposed to some major bills if a catastrophic illness occurs in your family. You also want to look for any exclusions or low limits for certain procedures or types of coverage. 2. This one may surprise you, but a high deductible is often a very good thing. Raising your deductible to at least $1,100 for individual coverage or $2,200 for families can lower your premiums significantly, and you'll qualify for a health savings account that can lower your current tax bill. So, a high-deductible policy can give you more protection—and save you hundreds of dollars in premiums and in taxes. A health savings account can also give you tax-free money for medical expenses, in addition to lowering your tax bill. 3. Anytime you get a medical bill, do not assume that the insurance company is right about how much you owe. If a bill looks too large, or if you think there is something a little "off" about it…there is a good chance you are right. Between doctors, insurance companies and all the billing involved, there are a lot of errors made on bills because of simple paperwork errors. Go through every bill and if you don't understand it…ask questions! Be relentless. Don't give up! In many cases, a few questions can fix everything. |
