The First Scripted Series for Both National Geographic Channel and Relativity Television
WASHINGTON and PARIS, Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- National Geographic Channel U.S., Relativity and Tandem Communications announced today at MIPCOM 2013 their collaboration on the series "Act of Valor." The series is the first scripted series for both NGC and Relativity. Production is scheduled to begin in early 2014. The series, which is inspired by the successful feature film bearing the same name, will be produced by Tandem Communications (a Studiocanal company) and Relativity.
The series will be written by Erik Jendresen (Band of Brothers). Tandem Communications (The Pillars of the Earth, Crossing Lines) will act as both the studio on the production as well handle international distribution. Relativity's Act of Valor, which was an unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, opened #1 at the U.S. box office with $24.5 million and went on to gross more than $80 million worldwide.
This greenlight further solidifies NGC's stake in the scripted content arena. NGC garnered record-breaking ratings for its first forays into scripted with the factually based feature films SEAL Team Six becoming the highest-rated program in 2012 for the network and Killing Lincoln achieving the highest-rated program in 2013 to date, both Emmy(R) nominated. In addition, NGC is heading into the fall with the highly anticipated Rob Lowe starrer, Killing Kennedy, bowing on November 10th.
"Act of Valor" the series focuses on pararescuemen, also known as PJs, who are the unsung heroes that are tasked with recovery and medical treatment of personnel in humanitarian and combat environments.
Ryan Kavanaugh, CEO of Relativity, said: "Relativity's unique model allows us to successfully transform a film such as Act of Valor into a highly engaging television series. Through this process, networks are able to broadcast shows with built-in-audiences of viewers already invested in a story, while the studio monetizes our content in new ways. We could not ask for a better home for the series than National Geographic Channel."
Howard Owens, President of National Geographic Channels, said: "With the incredible success of our original scripted feature films, we are expanding our offerings with a high quality scripted series we know will resonate with our viewers. After the success of our documentary series Inside Combat Rescue about PJs in Afghanistan, we wanted to tell more incredible stories of these heroes, and this series will allow us to do so in an exciting and dramatic way, while still delivering real, authentic stories our viewers expect from us. We could not have a better partner than Relativity to take this next step."
Tim Halkin, COO of Tandem Communications, added: "With a powerful contemporary storyline of global anti-terrorism, Act of Valor is an intense, fast-paced series that will resonate with viewers worldwide. We are excited to work with Relativity and NatGeo, as well as the talented Erik Jendresen, who is so skilled and creative in this genre of entertainment."
Kavanaugh is scheduled to deliver a MIPCOM Media Mastermind Keynote on 8 October at 16.45 at the Palais des Festivals, Grand Auditorium.

Sometimes you go through things that seem huge at the time, like a mysterious glowing cloud devouring your entire community.
While they're happening they feel like the only thing that matters, and you can hardly imagine that there's a world out there that might have anything else going on. And then the Glow Cloud moves on. And you move on. And the event is behind you.
And you may find that, as time passes, you remember it less and less—or not at all, in my case.
And you are left with nothing but a powerful wonder at the fleeting nature of even the most important things in life, and the faint, but pretty, smell of vanilla.

Thanks to a clever Windows utility called GVJack App, you can make unlimited free calls (for now, anyway).
No, it's not "free to other MagicJack users and 5 cents/minute to landlines," but just plain free to any number in North America. Wow! Alas, call quality is spotty.
Get unlimited local and long-distance calling for one year when you buy the MagicJack. Each year after that costs just $20.
Similar to the MagicJack but better in almost every way, the NetTalk Duo provides unlimited calling for a price that's almost too good to be true.
Seniors go Wii bowling, so-called Skype killer MagicJack, Express' iPod playlist jacket, NBC tries 'newpeats' of 'The Office,' and GotZapp?
The MagicJack plugs into any USB port and lets you make unlimited calls using a handset or headset. It's $40 for the hardware and first year, $20 for each year after that.
This handy travel bag can recharge your mobile devices thanks to its built-in battery and connectors.
It's good for free local and long-distance calling for a year, then costs $29.99 per year after that. Sellout risk: huge!
Get free local and long-distance calling for a year, then pay $29.99 per year after that. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection.

ATLANTA (AP) - Hewlett-Packard has announced plans to consolidate customer support call center operations and create 200 new jobs in metro Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/XK8VHg) a spokesman for the California-based company announced Tuesday that it will combine its call center operations from around the world and relocate its Customer Solution Center to Alpharetta. The newspaper reports jobs at a facility in New Mexico will likely be transferred to the Alpharetta location as well.
The move comes as part of a Hewlett-Packard restructuring effort that includes cutting about 27,000 jobs from its workforce.
Company officials have not disclosed a location in Alpharetta or details on annual or hourly pay for the jobs. The transition is expected to occur through October.

how about my ef-s 10-22 combo with prime like sigma 35mm f/1.4 & ef 50mm f/1.4. but i thought it become more challenging because i never use a prime before. i just use my 10-22mm for landscape & 18-135 for general
Primes are nice although I would suggest getting them one at time to see if it works for you. I currently use primes for the midrange and zooms for the wide and telephoto focal lengths.

The Port Authority/The Durst Organization
A false fire report at the site notwithstanding, construction at One World Trade is moving along. It officially became the tallest building in New York City in late April, and will rise 1,776 feet upon its completion in early 2014.
Condé Nast will be a major tenant in the 3 million-square-foot building—the publishing company leased nearly 1.2 million square feet across 25 floors. Vantone China Center and the federal General Services Administration have also signed leases, bringing the building to 55 percent occupancy, according to the Port Authority.
The new renderings show the building from every possible angle and offer a glimpse at what the interior will look like. They also incorporate some new design features.

vacation rental description
Hood Canal is one of the most picturesque bodies of salt water anywhere in the world. It's warm, clear swimming beaches, incredible views of the Olympic Mountains, fantastic beachcombing opportunities, and its location makes it a desirable destination for all. Hood Canal is not really a canal at all but rather an amazing fjord that separates most of Puget Sound from the Olympic Peninsula. It's no wonder that waterfront home owners are mostly second, third, or even fourth generation Hood Canal residents. Once you've experienced Hood Canal's magic, it's hard to find a better spot - anywhere!
Your beautiful private get-away retreat is located on one of the
warmest beaches on Hood Canal Fjord. You will be in awe of the beautiful
views. Whether you are taking a family vacation, having a friend's
weekend, fishing, diving, hiking, or enjoying an intimate romantic
get-away, this is the spot for you.
Come and enjoy the large outdoor deck area atop the rock bulkhead.
A few steps off of the deck and the beach combing begins. At low tide you can
gather up all the oysters and clams you can eat for you dining enjoyment.
When you tire of the endless shellfish, grab your fishing pole or
crab pots. (Check Washington State Fisheries and Wildlife for rules
and regs for season dates and restrictions).
The Triton Cove Beach Home is near the Triton Cove State Park Boat
ramp. It is also minutes away from several amazing shore dives
(Octopus Hole, Triton Cove, etc). Whether you prefer to hike
(The Staircase and Dosewallip Trails are a short drive away), fish,
clam, go crabbing, shuck oysters or simply soak in the hot tub while
gazing at the stars, our quaint beach house offers all of this and
so much more. This spot is 17 miles from Lake Cushman and a 9
hole golf course and 29 miles from the Alderbrook Golf Course and
spa. Arrive at the Triton Cove Hideaway via seaplane from Seattle
in just 25 minutes.
The house is light, airy and very peaceful. There are two private
bedrooms - both with queen size beds. An additional room with a TV,
games, and books. The room also has a futon for additional sleeping
arrangements. There is also a large, comfy sofa that is a pull-out
with a queen-size mattress. You can also enjoy a full bathroom with
both tub and shower. And there are two additional bathrooms as
well. A washer and dryer are also available, for your convenience.
The kitchen, is fully furnished with every amenity you could desire.
A gas fireplace allows for cozy relaxation and is especially
enjoyable on stormy nights. We want you to feel at home.
There is a gas BBQ grill on the Deck where you can cook all of the
shellfish you collect or enjoy your fresh catch of the day. The
large hot tub, located right outside the master suite, allows the
stress you left behind to melt away.
Whether you enjoy the simplicity of nature while watching the sea
life surrounding scenic Hood Canal, or prefer an underwater
adventure, vacationing on the beach is the life for you. Make your
reservations early!

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

OAK BROOK, Ill (AP) — McDonald's has lost its taste for Heinz ketchup. The fast-food giant says it is cutting ties with the condiment company after 40 years because of management changes there.
A former Burger King CEO became head of Heinz in June after the company was bought by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital. 3G also controls Burger King.
The impact of the change might be tasted more overseas. In the U.S., McDonald's uses Heinz products only in Pittsburgh and Minneapolis restaurants.
"As a result of recent management changes at Heinz, we have decided to transition our business to other suppliers over time," McDonald's Corp. said in a statement on Friday.

Those overpaid, underworked public employees
Before you start griping about ovepaid Muni drivers and public employee unions, you might want to take a look at this neat-o map that shows who the highest-paid public employees are in every one of the 50 states. Hint: It's not a bus driver. Or even a cop or firefighter:
You may have heard that the highest-paid employee in each state is usually the football coach at the largest state school. This is actually a gross mischaracterization: Sometimes it is the basketball coach.
In fact in 40 of the 50 states, the highest-paid person runs a collegiate sports operation. The other ten are doctors running medical centers or, in a couple of places, college presidents.
Oh, but aren't those people earning their money by bringing in the big bucks? Maybe; maybe not:
In 2011-2012, Mack Brown was paid $5 million to lead a mediocre 8-5 Texas team to the Holiday Bowl. The team still generated $103.8 million in revenue, the most in college football. You don't have to pay someone $5 million to make college football profitable in Texas.
Just sayin.
(Oh, and what's up with New Hampshire, where the guy making the most money coaches hockey?)
That's just your envy issue coming up (again).
No, it's the rank and file getting overpaid that's the problem. Why does a Muni driver get 65K annually when private sector drivers get maybe half of that? Plus of course insanely generous pay and healthcare benefits.
I'm not even talking cops and fire guys who take huge risks and deserve compensation for that. I'm talking about the average sallow-face pen-pusher in a nasty suit who pulls 100K plus insane benefits.
We could secure substantial savings to taxpayers if we outsourced many of these bureaucrats.
Everyone knows that what this country needs is more concentration of wealth. The guys at the bottom are being paid way too much, while the those at the top are being paid way too little.
If we outsourced the rank and file to Chinese slaves, we could have enough to pay the administrator of the program millions.
Fewer rich people does not mean fewer poor people.
The concentration of wealth over the past 40 years has clearly had NO EFFECT on the working classes. Not that I care, but middle America is clearly better off now, after decades of cuts and austerity so that the upper echelons of society can have more. And once we get done shredding social security and medicare so that the rich can have EVEN more, the poor will be even better off. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say.
of wealth is fixed and constant, such that if one person has more, the other must have less.
It's a myth. A rich person emigrating does not make you richer.
Increasing wealth concentration has indeed made people more poor.
finite commodities have their prices inflated by the richies' undisciplined buying power.
"The rich getting richer does not make the poor poorer."
Cops and firefighters have lower on the job injury and mortality rates than many private sector jobs.
I personally believe many college basketball coaches are overpaid, and I would have zero problem seeing their salaries cut to just a fraction of what they get paid now.
BUT, Mr. Redmond is engaging in a classic logical fallacy with this little example. To support the idea that Muni drivers are not overpaid, he provides some examples of basketball coaches who he insinuates may be overpaid. But, there is ZERO correlation between the two categories of public employees. The fact that a basketball coach may be overpaid does not prove or disprove that a Muni driver is either overpaid, underpaid, or paid the appropriate amount. A basketball coach and a Muni driver may both be overpaid for their job functions. He also ignores the fact that the aggregate burden on public finances of multiple Muni drivers being overpaid would be much larger than a handful of college coaches being overpaid.
If there is an argument to be made that Muni driver's are paid appropriately or even underpaid, then make it. Don't engage in false comparisons to distract from the issue.
This is still a pack of lies. It fails to mention that almost all of the collegiate coaching salaries at public universities are picked up by Alumni - not government. But this article wasn't really about that - it was a cheap shot at anyone who questions city salaries and benefits.
Predicated as much on envy as distraction, they defend overpaying the masses of city workers by pointing out some dude somewhere who is making 300K a year for doing very little.
It's the same way they think that a few rich people are the cause of there being many poor people, rather than the truth that the poor would be even poorer but for the rich.
It's beyond lame, but class warfare will do that to you every time.
All these huge coaching contracts are typically paid by private corporations (typically called "talent fees") or alumni groups. You need to do more research. (e.g. UC Berkeley paid $150k of Jeff Tedford's $2.3 million salary.)
So this actually doesn't rationalize SF public safety workers (and other City employees) ransacking our city to the point where we can't even get decent streets.
The reason Muni will always suck is most all of its funds are absorbed into the inflated wages and benefits of its bloated workforce which has little if any incentive to provide good services to the public.
Muni will always suck regardless of funding - this has already been proven correct but progressives love to maintain their little fairy tale that someday...Muni's gonna be great.
Hey, you heard Tim -- stop griping about overpaid bus drivers because college football coaches get more!
Meanwhile...if you took 100 random healthy adults in their productive years you could quickly train 80 of them to be good bus drivers. But you would be incredibly lucky if you could get 1 good college football coach from the same pool. Might be why they get paid more.
Just sayin.
It's not that easy safely navigating a several-ton behemoth down narrow hilly streets, as proven by that recent picture in the SFBG of a *private* Google bus driver who attempted to do it and got his rig stuck. OTOH, any dad with a 6 year old knows how to coach a sports team. Coaching little league is probably a tougher gig, too.
The other thing that should be noted -people actually need public transportation, and hence the drivers who operate it. But if all the coaches disappeared tomorrow, I think society would go on just fine.
because that is purely a matter for whomever is paying the bill.
But for public sector workers, we are all paying, and so we get a say. If a private bus driver, say tour bus or commuter bus, is getting 35K a year, why are we paying Muni drivers twice that?
Because the private bus driver is underpaid? Because public bus drivers are generally more competent? Because we as a community have decided that we don't want to take everything down to the lowest common denominator, but pay people a living wage? All of the above and more?
I'm a taxpayer too, and I'm comfortable with MUNI driver compensation as it is now. Maybe if Google paid their drivers more, they could have found someone who wouldn't get their rig stuck on the city streets.
I do want to correct one minor but crucial erronious assumption you made. I don't know about a "free market," whatever that is (haven't seen one yet in real life). But I do know that in a *democracy*, it is the *voters*, tax paying or not, who decide what to pay people. The taxpayers provide the money to pay, true, but each citizen's opinion about what to do with that income is just as valuable as the next, regardless of whether they pay taxes or not. And as both a taxpayer, and more importantly a voter, I say that's exactly the way it should be.
magically twice as competent as a private-sector driver?
You know this how?
It's called training, which the $15 dollar/hr dude driving the google bus didn't receive. Same reason credentialled public school teachers are more competent than some of the people private schools hire off the street. Or even cops. For all the problems with cops -and cops are probably the most overpaid of rank-and-file public employees because they can extort more than they're worth through emotional appeals and casually throwing out words like "heroes" -for all their problems, the training that publicly trained cops receive sets them apart from private security guards, and makes them more competent and deserving of better pay.
Muni drivers have to deal with the general public and work at all hours; split shifts. They have to drive all sorts of vehicles too.
except of course cops, who he hates.
Where is your evidence that city bus drivers are better? They certainly have more accidents.
All I'm saying is that trained, competent people shouldn't be paid crap wages. You wouldn't pay a MUNI driver the same as the Google bus driver, any more than you'd pay a cop the same as a private security guard. Or maybe *you* would, but I wouldn't. I guess I just value cops more than you do.
As for accidents... I'm not sure that MUNI drivers have more accidents, though it wouldn't surprise me since MUNI overall logs in many, many more miles than the Google bus. And they're tougher miles, on average -all on city streets instead of mostly on the freeway.
and verify, even, that the claim regarding the wage of Google's driver is *accurate*?
My BS detector says... no.
I do know that many private drivers make at or around 30K per annum.
I recalled $15/hr based on the piece Rebecca Solnit wrote. I just went back and checked it, and my recollection was wrong. The drivers of the Google bus actually make $17 -$30 per hour. For a full time job -if they actually get to work full time -that would work out to $35,000 to $62,000 per year. Still less than MUNI, in accordance with the added professionalism of a MUNI driver, but not that much less.
above average for bus drivers locally.
not what they would like or think they want, need or deserve.
That's my opinion. Yours may differ. But that's what has been negotiated by the drivers with the representatives of the people.
I know what comes next, of course. Please save me the tripe that pay should be based on whatever employers are willing to pay (under the most onerous conditions for workers of course -where workers aren't organized and large employers "negotiate" -read: dictate -their terms to each individual job seeker). That's just the law of the jungle. That's not the way it's done in a civilized society.
It matters what the employer, shareholder or customer thinks, unless of course the game is rigged, which it is for city workers.
Rigged is what you want. Rigged, is a system where neither the community, through their elected goverenment, nor the workers through an organized union, have a say in wages. Rigged, is a system where human logic and compassion has no place in determining wages -only the whim of the overlord doing the hiring, whose only interest is to squeeze as much work out of his employees for as little compensation as possible.
So if an employer does the logical thing and pays employees more than comes it, that business will logically stay in business?
I know how you progressives like to use language towards others as if they are children or paid attendees at a EST. meeting, but try and think about the words you use beyond their emotional content.
expect him to justify his bill based on time, materials, effort and risk involved?
Or do you prefer it when he says that he needs $300 because he needs a new this or his wife wants a new that?
Do you offer to pay more than the asking price in a store because you know the shopowners has just had twins?
You're talking blatent nonsense, and would quickly go out of broke in the unlikely event that you ever ran your own business.
Non-tax paying voters will never vote to hold gov't salaries in check, because they don't have to pay for it - FOOL!
tax, which is why I support the broadest taxes, e.g. sales taxes and payroll taxes. Everyone should have some skin in the game.
That comment about "skin in the game" is insulting. You belong in the 18th century. If someone is old, sick, disabled, or just plain dirt poor, they shouldn't be forced to pay taxes when they're barely scraping by, just because you feel you have to stick it to them. If you are better able to afford taxes then they are, good for you. Consider yourself lucky and hope that you never have to trade places with them. But don't you dare try and say that you're somehow a better person, or that your opinion is somehow more valuable, just because you have more money. *Everyone* has skin in the game, in the sense that everyone living in a society has an interest in making that society as good as it can be.
on a tax that they won't have to pay for, or a service or benefit that is effectively "free" to them, then will always vote for it. Who woudn't?
And by the way, that's exactly why rent control does well at the polls, even though most people no it's not a good long-term strategy. There are only a few landlords and some of them don't live in Sf, so their votes don't count.
Meanwhile tenants just vote for free stuff, as they would, and regular homeowners don't really care either way.
Contrast that with, say, a proposal to subsidize rents to the same extent, but paid for by a new tax on everyone. It would lose at the ballot.
So broad taxes that everyone pays are good for democracy.
At this point many Americans get more than they pay in taxes.
The goal of taking all the pain out of bad choices by the government has created an entitlement mentality among vast swaths of the nation.
So what if a person pays 1000 in taxes, they get back much more than that because they have five kids.
Different people have different opinions. Just as someone like myself, who pays more taxes than many people receive in total income, consistently votes for policies that increase workers' pay, simply because I believe it's the right thing to do... there will be some people who pay no income taxes at all, but vote the opposite.
The essence of a democracy is that everyone's opinion counts the same -rich or poor. Not that we have that... but that's a different story.
After all, GOP voting States are the poorer ones, mostly.
But people will vote themselves free stuff more often than not.
Y'all realize that typically the content of value is in the article, and the trolls are in the comments, right? Why is this page reversed? Is it backwards day?
Sports don't mean much to me one way or another, but hockey is important in the Northeast. Why risk coming off as petty and provincial?
"City family" salaries/pensions now consume over 42% of San Francisco's General Fund. Hence, ongoing cuts to park & rec, schools, etc.
Harvey Rose projects this to rise to over 60% as ever-growing pension/healthcare obligations to retired city workers keep climbing. The city family pension pot is about $4 billion underfunded.
Until 2009, you got full healthcare benefits for life on the city's dime if you worked for the city for as little as 5 years.
"City family" workers and the 1%-ers are the only people left in the world that still have defined-benefit pension plans (the rest of us muddle ever onward with "defined-contribution" 401-K plans).
These "City Family" pension plans are guaranteed 8% annually returns, compounded. The stock market (DJIA) rose 0% in 2000-2010. But our beloved "city family" got its 8% annual return anyway.
Is any of this seeping through to Tim Redmond yet?
But if he ever admitted it, he would be out of a job, and so it's just easier for him to lie to us and himself, and wait for his pension, just like a city worker does.
City assumes inflates investment returns to mask unfunded liability.
bankruptcy, the judge is seriously considering cutting back on the city workers pension "entitlements" rather than stiffing the bondholders. The law is a gray area on this and so, if a precendent is set that a BK judge can do this, many cities may be tempted to file Chapter 9 to get out of their pension and healthcare obligations. That would be a game-changer for contract negotiations i.e. "take a pension cut or we'll file C9".
gee wiz, is the Guardian unionized yet?
^SEE SFUSD where of course - it's all about the kids.
AND please spare me the "few bad apples."
See SFUSD where it's all about the kids.
Union money lost in LA.
Could this possibly mean CA's low information voters are beginning to understand the destruction caused to our cities by the exhorbitant cost of public employee benefits....Stay tuned.
Who knows - crazier things have happened.

The Frost interview gets more specific, speculating that "the third season could realistically be set 25 years on . . . picking up from the original's iconic dream sequence between Cooper, Laura and the backwards-speaking dwarf, that took place in the original series 25 years into the future." (That sequence aired in April 1990, so if production on the show really did resume shortly, new episodes would likely hit the air roughly 25 years after that dream.)
David Lynch has gotten involved with TV again lately, with a recurring character on "The Cleveland Show" and a brilliant turn on "Louie." The radical freedom FX has given Louis C.K. on the latter show seems like a more tenable model for the independent and wildly creative Lynch than, say, NBC. In hindsight, "Twin Peaks" feels like a forerunner of the ambitious cable shows that have flourished since "The Sopranos" hit HBO. And there's always Netflix: The upcoming return of "Arrested Development" in particular has made the revival of dormant series seems like less of a pipe dream than before.

If you're looking for a defined eye, choosing subtle, complimenting makeup is key to avoid looking too done-up. Take notes from Kerry Washington who sweetened up her smoldering lids with a shimmering petal pink blush at the 2012 American Music Awards. To get her look, first prep skin with a hydrating moisturizer and primer. For an even skin tone, layer a light concealer under eyes followed by blending a cream foundation all over face and neck. For a just-pinched flush, swirl a rose, translucent blush on the apples of the cheeks and blend liberally. If you're afraid you've applied too much, simply use a clean tissue and wipe excess powder.

Congress Aims for May Farm Bill Markup
The official markup notice hasn't been issued - but House Ag Committee Chairman Frank Lucas says the committee will markup the 2013 Farm Bill on May 15th. He says they'll start with a draft that is essentially the 2012 document with adjustments because entities like the Office of Management and Budget and Congressional Budget Office have rescored some of the expenditures and savings. But in the end - he expects the Ag Committee members will stick to the principles they agreed upon last year when writing the farm bill. Lucas says there will be choice, savings and a safety net for all crops in all regions.
In the area of nutrition - Lucas says the Committee will continue to focus on things like categorical eligibility and other loopholes. Instead of 16.5-billion dollars in reforms as called for in the nutrition title of the Committee's 2012 Farm Bill - he says this bill will contain about 20-billion in savings. Lucas says a substantial of conservation title savings will come from CRP. In the commodity title - he says the direct payment program is once again eliminated. Overall - Lucas expects the bill will save about 38-billion dollars.
Lucas believes there's a good chance the Ag Committee can reach consensus on the farm bill on May 15th.
Senate Ag Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow announced Thursday that she - too - plans to markup a new farm bill next month - though she has not set a specific date yet. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has indicated his intentions to bring it to the Senate floor next month as well. Stabenow wants to make sure a new farm bill is in place by September 30th - when the current extension of the 2008 law expires.

The fact is that many, MANY teenagers in high school have sex. I wonder how many parents are unaware of the fact that their teenagers are having sex. It's easy to find a house where the parents aren't home or they are but they leave the kids completely unattended. It's common for a group of kids to have sex in the same room, there's a couple in this corner, and another one in that corner. The kids still get home on time for curfew, they don't need to be sleeping over to have sex.
Look at TV, movies and magazines, we are practically telling kids to have sex. And they are.
on Mar 8, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Hey Mandy, are you accuseing us parents as not being aware of our kids????? if you are I must say that I am a very good parent
on Mar 9, 2009 at 5:43 pm
The fact that a PARENT needs to ask this question on a forum is troubling. These are likely the same parents wanting us to fund a parcel tax to continue educating the kids they brought into this world.
Birds and Bees -- pretty elementary.
on Mar 10, 2009 at 9:40 am
We are really going to have a discussion about at what age we tell our kids it is OK to have sex? That is a decision that THEY have to live with and THEY have to make. We should guide them and discuss the consequences of sex but to even pretend that we have some control over that issue is taking the responsibility out of the kids hands. Your kid knows full well that there is nothing you can do about it so why set yourself up and prove to your kid that they are in charge. You could and should lay down rules that don't make feel right to you. Such as "not in my house".....because it is your house and you are in control of that. But, to pretend that you can create some "magic date".....big mistake. We need to be teaching kids how to make decisions and make them responsible for their choices. If we make it too easy on them, they will never grow from their struggles. And, they do not grow from your struggles.

text: PEOPLE: Management Opti-Munich 2013 Continues Steady Growth Trend By Staff Monday, March 04, 2013 12:00 AM By Deirdre Carroll: Senior Editor Attendees of Opti 2013 were greeted by two alphorn players in traditional Bavarian garb. MUNICH—Opti-Munich, the first event of the year to kick off the international optics industry, was held at the Fairground Messe München from Jan. 25 to 27. At this year's event, over 23,200 industry professionals from over 70 countries attended the show and discovered exhibitors' latest products and trends. Industry professionals were presented with an extensive range of products offered by 491 exhibitors in the four sold-out halls. Dieter Dohr.According to event organizers, Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH (GHM), even before the doors opened, Opti 2013 looked to be another success story. The number of exhibitors had increased compared to the previous year (it was 60 in 2012), as did the number of countries where they originated. "Opti is becoming more and more important at the international level," said Dieter Dohr, CEO and president of GHM. "More and more companies are seeing the Munich event as an opportunity to expand their international clientele base. Of course, opticians also benefit from this, because the bigger the selection of products on offer, the more choice you have for putting together your own range." Models were on hand in branded Opti beanies to showcase some of the new sports glasses and ski goggles being introduced. Crowds packed the isles of the four sold out exhibitor halls. This year's attendees also gave the show high marks in a survey conducted by GHM, with over 90 percent of respondents rating Opti 2013 as "good to very good." According to the results of the visitor survey, a crucial factor in this success was the comprehensive and broad range of products offered and the fact that there were so many new products on display. "Opti has established itself as the platform for launching new products at the beginning of the year," added Dohr. "The timing of Opti is perfect for this." New and familiar faces attended the show, Luxottica (l) and German company, Herrlicht's booth (r). Prescription frames and sunglasses for summer, sports glasses and ski goggles for the 2013/2014 season were all launched at Opti 2013. More than three quarters of survey respondents said that they placed orders at the show. The reaction from Josef May, chairman of Spectaris, the German Association of Optical Industries, was also very positive. He said, "The event was fully booked, with aisles and stands full of people and incoming orders, so the exhibitors were very happy. Instead of a downturn, the optics industry looks set to enjoy fresh impetus again this year. This year looks set to be the year of contact lenses and multiple frame purchases." Plenty of orders were also taken at the Morel (l) and Ogi (r) booths. As well as German and international opticians, more and more apprentices and students are also using Opti to get a detailed overview of the market, GHM said. According to organizers, they used the trade show as an opportunity to get information on careers and advanced training opportunities in the industry, as well as to gain insights into the future of the optics industry. Opti 2014 is scheduled to be held from Jan. 10 to 12, 2014 at the Fairground Messe München. ■ email@example.com

Hamline's Middle East Studies minor may be just what you're looking for.All eyes are on the Middle East as mass protests and revolts spread throughout the Arab World. This is not the first time that events in the Middle East have attracted public interest on a global level. As the birthplace of at least four major religions and many civilizations, the Middle East has for centuries been a center of knowledge and ideas, of techniques and commodities, and, at times, of military and economic power. Yet despite the historical and cultural significance of the Middle East, the general understanding of this area and its peoples is often fragmentary and distorted.Did you know? Middle Eastern Studies in the United States is an exciting and growing field. Currently, the Middle East Studies of America (MESA) lists more than 3,000 institutional members. As the Middle East's role in US foreign and economic policy looms larger than ever, various US government agencies and departments have been seeking and recruiting graduates with degrees and knowledge of the region.
