Won't you help today?
[Courtesy of Emily K]
If by "nice" you mean "unnaturally round."
She said jugs and jesus in the same sentences. LOL
Stunningly. Hilarious.
Very funny. And the menacing music is just icing on the cake.
Great job Emily – what did it take to produce something like this?
2 days of my undivided time, learning a brand new and quite complicated program while creating the commercial so that I could accurately emulate the style of NOM's ad, writing the script, recording the script, many hours of editing, about an hour final polishing, and about an hour searching for that cheesy "danger is brewing" music. Another hour to put together the little site.
It was worth it. :-) I've gotten a good deal of positive feedback. This stuff is time-sensitive so I had to run with it while the idea was fresh and Miss Cali's 15 min. aren't quite up yet. (but close.)
Emily — You have a charmingly wicked sense of humour. Great job!! …umm… Jugs4Jesus….kind of catchy. Think Maggie and Ms CA will pay a visit???
Hilarious! Perfect Colbert Report. J4J….priceless
I've enjoyed every minute of the fun and laughs during the last few weeks, starting with the aftermath of NOM's "I Am Afraid" ad, and now with Emily's great video and jugs4jesus website. I have to say that our side has a juggernaut with the ability to use humor and parody so effectively. Seriously. I am constantly in awe of the creative sense of humor from so many people on our side. It really is one of our major strengths.
Fortunately, our religious-fanatic opponents don't know how to do humor and parody, and when they try, it falls flat (although they are adept at unintended self-parody). So they generally just come across as nasty fussy authoritarian busybodies who are well schooled in demagoguery.
Highly rigid thinking, which is a hallmark of religious fanatics, doesn't allow for much creativity. But there is one area where they do show creativity, and that is in their ability to develop ever-more convoluted logic to support their delusional beliefs.
Creativity can't flourish in people who only look backwards to determine how everything must look going forward.
Great job, Emily!
Great video. Also glad you got it ready before the "15 minutes of fame* ended for Miss Cali. LOL ;)
That was perfect!
Brilliant. Only brilliant!
Once again, instead of arguing the pros of gay marraige, we elect a mouth piece who's just nothing more than a bully. He's the reason she's in the media to begin with. No wonder i'm ashamed to be gay, with someone like mario lavanderia attacking girls. He must really hate women, must have gotten beaten up by one as a kid. If we want to win this issue, argue the merits of it, not bad mouth some young woman who's only crime was answering a question honestly.
Richard Rush: Your comments are spot-in and crazy important. Wow. A fantastic contribution. I hope your comments are read and thought about widely.
Rigid thinking = bigotry = an inability to think laterally (crucial for humor) or deeply (reflect, ponder, consider alternatives, be open to possibilities, question, doubt).
NOM et al.'s inability to think well is their Achilles' heel.
Richard Rush put his finger right on it.
Maggie Gallagher's embracing of a not very bright or well-spoken woman who paraded herself around on TV in a skimpy bikini to be "judged" on her bod, no doubt creating full-on woodies in thousands of married heterosexual men watching (if they weren't actively masturbating), to be a spokesperson for the "defense" of traditional, heterosexual marriage, was deliciously poorly-thought-out.
Every time they open their mouths, or write a column, if their words and actions aren't self-satirizing (and they often are), we — who have the fantastic advantage of more agile brains — have truth-based satire at our ready disposal.
May the juggernaut continue!!!!
PS: Perhaps I should leave the brilliant stuff to Emily K., Colbert, and others, but I'll take a stab here at some creativity:
Per juggernaut deal:
Her jugs are not real
I don't remember anybody in the gay community electing Perez Hilton to be a spokesperson of anything, let alone of the equality movement. In fact so far any gay person giving their opinion of him has expressed their mild to severe dislike of his style, methods, and personality.
I suggest, robi, that you grow up a bit and realize that the only thing you would need to be "ashamed of" as a result of being gay is the fact that you are romantically and sexually attracted to someone of the same sex. And this is nothing to be ashamed of.
PS, thanks for all the great compliments. It makes my day. Please keep spreading the word about the NOME cause! I've posted a new entry at Jugs4Jesus.org if anyone is interested. :-)
Oh now that was just funny! I find it amazing that so many of the anti-marriage (and BTW there is no such thing as gay or straight marriage, you are either for loving people entering into a lifetime bond or your against it,) but I find it so amazing that the anti-gay movement actively and maliciously tell lies and involve innocent children in their bigoted campaigns at almost every turn, yet they get angry and frustrated whenever they are taken to task for doing so, or someone comes along and makes a parody as good as this one and they angrily discount it.
Just another perfect example of the hypocritical nature of blind hate.
Good job, Emily!
Congratulations Emily K! That was fantastic.
@Staci — "Jugs for Jesus" — what a great idea for a bumper sticker!

Double S Liquid Feed Services, a leading manufacturer and supplier of cane molasses, vegetable oils, beet molasses, fish oil and mineral oil products, has promoted Tim Trattles to Eastern Sales Manager.
Trattles, Burr Oak, MI, joined Double S in 2003 after graduating from Michigan State University with a degree in animal science and agriculture business specialization. "Tim's drive to succeed and his ability to get the job done really help our customers," says Scott Yocum, Double S National Sales Manager. "He uses his in-depth knowledge of animal science and our products to help feed manufactures enhance their business by staying on the cutting edge of animal nutrition."
Along with a sales career at Double S, Trattles owns and operates with his family a small, high-quality beef and pig operation. They have bred and showed several state and national champion Shorthorns and Yorkshires. "Tim's hands-on livestock experience has helped Double S grow its product and service offerings," adds Yocum. "He is a valuable asset to our company."
As Eastern Sales Manager, Trattles will supervise all accounts east of the Mississippi (except in Wisconsin), along with maintaining his previous coverage of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
In addition to promoting Trattles, Double S has added two Market Development Specialists. Steve Potter and Stutsman, Inc., join the Double S team, replacing John McCoy who recently retired from Double S after a long, successful career with the company. Potter covers Southern Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Southern Kansas, while Stutsman covers Iowa, Nebraska, Northern Missouri, Northern Kansas, Southern Minnesota and Wisconsin. They join Mark Miller (Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia).
"We're extremely excited about the strength and knowledge of our sales team," exclaims Yocum. "Our goal is to expand the company's products, services and geographic footprint. We've made great progress due to our highly capable employees, knowledge of animals and animal nutrition, manufacturing expertise, and quality products and service."

Our dream destination.
We drove from Pula and after an overnight stop in Feltre, continued north in Italy via Lana and through the spectacular Stelvio Pass. No wonder motorcycle company's use this road for the release of their new bikes as it it very technical and very picturesque !!!

We stayed in a quaint hotel with two balconies - one ...
1566. Going Shopping
Day 237 2 hrs, 5 kms Just a short walk through the vineyards is the village of Ponte in Vallentina, with claustrophobic alleys past venerable stone houses that lead to a cozy little plaza where old ladies chat while on the way to the store. The hole in my backpack has been getting bigger and bigger, so I buy some needle and thread in hopes of a temporary fix. I probably need to buy a new one before I get to Switzerland and prices double or ...

... Those look like some pretty badass mountains. Then it strikes me: just yesterday, I was on the OTHER side of those mountains! And now I've arrived here... on foot! Okay, I didn't exactly climb over the mountains--I walked around them... but it still is quite a feeling of accomplishment, giving me the confidence boost to know that, yes, I can ...

... concerns about long distance hiking/camping is hygiene... how do you stay clean while on the road? Well, looks like this problem is solved here in the Alps. I'm going to make this a daily ritual: find a stream near the end of the day and get cleaned up--even wash a couple items of clothing while I'm at it. So, I guess, as long as I've got money for food and supplies, technically I could continue this sort of hike indefinitely! I reach the Adda river, a much bigger ...

NFL Combine kickoff
The NFL Combine kicked off today in Indianapolis.
More than 300 NFL hopefuls are hitting the field over the next 4 days to prove their abilities.
One of the most talked about players at the combine this year is Mizzou defensive lineman Micahel Sam, who recently announced to the world that he's gay.
Sam's says he wishes everyone could look past the fact that he's gay and focus on his playing skills.
"Heck yeah I wish you guys would ask me how football is going, how's training going. I would love for you to ask me that question. But it is what it is. I just wish you guys would see me as Micahel Sam the football player instead of Michael Sam the gay football player."
Sam wore a rainbow colored button on his lanyard that says "Stand for Sam"... He says a fan gave it to him at a basketball game in Tennessee.

MP Early Day Motions : Rail Link For Leeds-Bradford Airport
That this House notes that Leeds-Bradford International Airport (LBIA) has been poorly served for years in terms of being connected to other towns and cities in the wider region; further notes that the Leeds City Region, with an economic output of £55 billion in 2013, has the largest city region economy outside London; believes that a rail link will provide global connectivity for local businesses and help the Leeds City Region remain a vibrant and competitive area; further notes that the highly successful Grand Depart of the 2014 Tour de France showed the world what Yorkshire has to offer; further notes that this is likely to lead to further business from abroad and tourism visits, particularly with Yorkshire winning the title of Europe's Leading Destination in 2013, beating the likes of Berlin, London and Madrid; further notes that LBIA's passenger throughput is expected to reach 5.1 million in 2016 and support 3,400 full-time equivalent jobs; welcomes comments by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State with responsibility for aviation, the hon. Member for Scarborough and Whitby, on a recent visit that a rail link is obviously desirable; and encourages him to provide a further boost for local jobs and the regional economy by setting out a timescale for his plans.

MP Early Day Motions : New Generation Transport Trolleybus Scheme
That this House notes the £173 million New Generation Transport (NGT) trolleybus scheme promoted by Metro and Leeds City Council; feels that it is not the best option for improving public transport in Leeds; is concerned that NGT may not provide value for money in the long run due to shorter life expectancy of rolling stock, as one of the key aims of the project was reducing the number of people driving on the A660 corridor; is further concerned at NGT plans which imply that the reduction in car usage would be minimal; is particularly concerned, given plans to secure a legacy from the 2014 Tour de France going through Leeds, that NGT would pass along the most-cycled route in Leeds and that the NGT business case projects a decrease in cycling; further feels that scheme has been imposed on Leeds after the Labour government decided in 2007 that Leeds could only have a bus-based solution; therefore demands the public inquiry be allowed to consider not whether NGT should go ahead or not, but what the best public transport solution is for Leeds; while welcoming the government investment, also demands the £173 million be allowed to be used for the alternative decided on; further feels that ultimately Leeds must have parity with major cities such as Manchester, Sheffield and European counterparts; and therefore urges the Department for Transport and Leeds City Council to consider the views of local residents and urgently rethink their plans.

MP Early Day Motions : Tuition Fees And The Funding Of Education
That this House notes the introduction and rapid increase in tuition fees in further and higher education since 1998 and acknowledges with concern the findings of the Third Report of the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee session 2014-15, on Student Loans; further notes that tuition fees and associated marketisation have decisively failed to create a sustainable funding system for universities; further notes that, in order to fund tution fees, the Government can now expect to loan in excess of £10 billion per year, much of which it will never recover; further notes the extreme negative impact of fees and privatisation on the stability of universities and colleges, access to education, student poverty and the conditions of academic and other staff; further notes that the number of people studying part-time has dropped by 40 per cent since the tripling of home undergraduate tuition fees in 2010; further notes that tuition fees no longer exist in Germany; believes that the choice being presented to the public, between an inaccessible and debt-driven market and a free system open only to a social elite, is no choice at all; believes further that progressive taxation is the only fair and workable way to fund education; supports the conclusions of the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee's report that an overhaul of the system is needed; calls for an urgent review of education funding led by those who work and study in education; and further calls for the abolition of all tuition fees in further and higher education.

That this House notes that Dr Malcolm Macdonald, of the Strathclyde Space Institute at Strathclyde University, has stated in a report on the space sector that Scottish independence could be said to be worth £15-20 million per year to the sector in the medium term, and the long-term size and scale of the sector may be of the order of £100 million, almost triple the current size; welcomes recognition that RAF Lossiemouth and Kinloss Barracks with its runway are excellently placed to be locations for a future spaceport and have been included in a shortlist of sites; and calls on the Government to work with the Scottish Government, local authority and other public agencies to maximise the potential of this opportunity.

Back in the summer of 2001, my Uncle Claude by marriage, passed away after a brief battle with cancer and Alzheimer's. During the time afterwards that I spent with Aunt Jean helping her write thank you notes, I came across a short essay that he had written among the papers at her house.
The essay is not remarkable. It was probably written many years later, and only makes note of the details of his service as a 20-year-old boy in World War II in the most general of terms.
What is remarkable to me is that for all the many years that he lived beyond the nightmare that was Normandy Beach and the Battle of the Bulge, he never spoke of it. He was a hero and you would never know it, which in my mind makes it all the more so.
The only tell-tale sign of his service was the funny way he held his arm, crooked and bent up just a little, a remnant from a gunshot wound to the arm. He simply put the horror of the war away and went on with his life as was the way of those of his generation. But Alzheimer's has a way of prying open dark places, and it was then that he sometimes began talking about the war. When he died in July of 2001 he took the war and the rest of the untold stories with him.
I have found myself thinking about this essay every year on Veteran's and Memorial Day, but I never could find it again. This past year, Aunt Jean, now 96, moved into assisted living and as we were sorting through some of her things I was delighted to find it again and share it here:
I was born and grew up in Bailey, Texas. In 1941 when I graduated from high school I had dreams of becoming a major league baseball player. I had a strong arm and could throw a baseball a "country mile". It was not long before my plans were made for me.
I received greetings from Uncle Sam requesting (rather instructing) me to go to the nearest recruiting station. To make a long story short, I was drafted into the U.S. Army.
My basic training was in Bastrop, Texas. The summer heat was so intense we had to make our 30-mile backpack trip through the night when it was a little cooler. Our drill Sergeant loved to take us through the small towns chanting to the top of our voice, "I had a good home but I left-right-left-right-left" awakening the residents.
In November of 1943, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin determined that Operation Overload was necessary to hasten an end to the conflict. After several months of intense training, we knew we were training for something big, but we had no idea what.
Operation Overload was a code name for the invasion of Normandy. General Eisenhower was the allied commander and it was determined that on June 6, 1944 this operation would take place. If was first planned for June 5th, but severe weather, the worst in 40 years made it necessary to make it a day later. I was assigned to the 146th combat Engineer Squadron. It was our job to blow up the mines on the beach that the Germans had planted.
On June 6th, the operation consisted of 5000 ships and crafts set to land 175,000 men and 50,000 vehicles. An allied armada of 11,000 planes began the bombing of German positions and coastal towns. We, the Combat Engineers, were the first on the beach and after the landing craft took us near there, we waded the waters with our back packs. The drivers of the landing crafts did not waste any time turning their ships around and getting out of there. There is no doubt that many would like to have gone back with them.
American forces landed on the western, or right flank, of Normandy, code named Utah and Omaha Beaches. I landed on Omaha. The British and Canadian forces landed on the other three beaches. It was a day that can never be forgotten.
Several of my buddies that I trained with from the beginning were among the casualties and are buried in the cemetery in Normandy. I realize how lucky I am and I wish they could have survived also.
Paris was declared an open city so that it would not be destroyed. After several months of combat in France and Belgium we were already in the month of December 1944 and the snow was deep. On December 16th, The Battle of the Bulge was in full swing.
On December 26th, 1944 I was injured at St. Vith in Belgium. [shot in the arm] I was hospitalized in England for several weeks and came home on the Queen Mary in the hospital ward. I was a patient at the VA Hospital in Temple, Texas for about a year.
This is a condensed account of just a portion of what I remember.

text: 12 Pollen Mediated Gene Flow in GM Crops: The Use of Herbicides as Markers for Detection. The Case of Wheat Iñigo Loureiro, Concepción Escorial, Inés Santín and Cristina Chueca Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) Spain 1. Introduction ISAAA has estimated that genetically modified (GM) crops, mainly soybean, maize, cotton and canola, are cultivated worldwide in an area that has increased from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 134 million hectares in 2009, of which more than 80% have an herbicide-tolerant trait (ISAAA 2010). This work reviews the agricultural and environmental concerns about the likelihood for gene flow from GM wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Wheat is the world's most important crop species, grown on over 210 million hectares. There are no GM wheat varieties commercially available but transgenic wheat varieties are being successfully developed and field-tested. That makes wheat in the pipeline of genetically engineered crops to be cultivated. Although wheat is predominantly a self-pollinating crop, pollen from one plant can travel via wind to other receptive plant, being outcrossing between wheat cultivars possible at variable rates. Coexistence problems in wheat could thus arise if no measures are taken before releasing and marketing any transgenic cultivar, as has occurred with other GM crops such as oilseed rape or maize, where measures were implemented after commercial transgenic introduction. Besides this, wild Aegilops species like Ae. geniculata Roth., Ae. cylindrica Host., Ae. biuncialis Vis. or Ae. triuncialis L. can form natural interspecific hybrids with wheat where they grow in sympatry. These natural hybrids are highly sterile, although seeds may occasionally be found. Data presented aim to contribute to the determination of the extent of this phenomena. These data are necessary to manage the possible impact of transgenic wheat hybrids before the transgenic crop can be grown under field conditions. Herbicide-tolerant wheat parental varieties can be used to obtain resistant progeny detectable by herbicide selection, providing a high approach to the potential occurrence of intra and interspecific pollen mediated gene flow. 2. Herbicide resistance as a marker for gene flow In spite of the knowledge of GM herbicide tolerant wheat cultivars, whose use is limited by availability and regulatory constraints, in the experiments presented in this book chapter we have used non GM wheat cultivars possessing homozygous dominant genes for herbicide response. Chlorotoluron and difenzoquat tolerant wheat cultivars were used to obtain hybrid-resistant progenies detectable by herbicide selection. www.intechopen.com 226 Herbicides, Theory and Applications The herbicide chlorotoluron is a commercially available selective phenylurea that is widely used for broad-leaf and annual grass weed control in winter cereals. The genetic control of tolerance to chlorotoluron in bread wheat is determined by a major single dominant gene, Su1, located on the short arm of chromosome 6B (Krugman et al., 1997). This herbicide is selective in winter wheat crops although there are wheat cultivars susceptible to chlorotoluron (Sixto et al., 1995; Bozorgipour & Snape, 1997). Wheat wild relatives as Aegilops spp. are also susceptible to it. In the presence of herbicide selection pressure, herbicide resistance allows for the detection of hybrids between resistant wheat cultivars and susceptible ones and between Aegilops spp. and resistant wheats. In our studies, we have used chlorotoluron tolerant wheat cultivars as Castan or Deganit. The herbicide difenzoquat is a mitosis inhibitor used for the post-emergence control of wild Avena spp. in winter cereals. Aegilops species are susceptible to this herbicide. Chinese Spring (CS) is a wheat cultivar possessing herbicide resistance alleles endowing resistance that can be used to obtain hybrid resistant progeny. The genetic control of tolerance to difenzoquat in bread wheat is determined by a major single gene (Busch et al., 1989). During our work we have conducted two types of assays which have enabled us to identify resistant hybrids: growing plants with herbicides in hydroponic assays and herbicide spraying assays. 3. Pollen dispersal in wheat Wheat pollen dispersal is not a new issue in agriculture. The varietal purity of the seed has always played a fundamental role in the development, yield and final quality of crops. It has long been known that pollen contamination not only takes place in cross-pollinated crops, it is also possible in self-pollinating crops when different varieties of the same crop are cultivated and sufficient separation distance is not maintained (Sanchez-Monge, 1955). One of the most effective methods for preventing pollen contamination between crossable genotypes is the use of isolation distances. The isolation distance required will depend on flower characteristics, compatibility with neighboring crops, pollen quantity and viability, mode of pollen dissemination and environmental conditions, which are of the upmost importance. Not all genotypes show the same ability in crosses. Wheat cultivars could show differences in the factors included in their reproductive biology; the flowering period of a wheat plant takes around 8 days. During these days each flower is open from 8 to 60 minutes. Wheat produces a low number of pollen grains (10,000 per anther) only the 5 to 7% of the pollen drops on the stigma, the great majority is dispersed by wind (de Vries, 1971). The period of pollen viability is low, never above three hours (D'Souza, 1970). Pollen viability declines, with time and exposure to environmental stresses. From a hybridization rate of 86% obtained with fresh pollen maintained at 15º C (at RH 65 ± 5%), hybridization was only 12% after one hour at 25ºC , while no seeds were found at 30ºC. At 15ºC seed set declined 14 % and 23% at 20ºC (Loureiro et al., 2007). Receptivity of stigma and flower opening were also environmental and genetically dependent (de Vries, 1971). Under our circumstances, in a year with favourable conditions (77% RH and 20 ± 2ºC), a maximum seed set of 78% was obtained for Pavon x CS wheat cultivars hand crosses. These values were of 39% in a less favorable year. 4. Outcrossing in wheat. The problem of coexistence Wheat is a self-pollinating crop but outcrossing is possible between cultivars at variable rates that are related with populations, genotypes and environmental conditions (Jain, 1975). www.intechopen.com Pollen Mediated Gene Flow in GM Crops: The Use of Herbicides as Markers for Detection. The Case of Wheat 227 The main studies on pollen dispersal in wheat appear in two stages. In the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s managing pollen drift was a major concern within the context of commercial production of hybrid wheat, where achieving high levels of genetic purity and satisfactory seed set on male sterile plants were essential (Pickett 1993). In recent years, pollen dispersal in wheat has again received considerable attention, within the context of the legislation applied to cultivars issued from the advances in biotechnology. Transgenic wheat varieties are being successfully developed and field-tested, primarily as glyphosate-tolerant wheat (Blackshaw & Harker, 2002; Zhou et al., 2003), and there is extensive research on a wide range of GM wheat traits (e.g. Fusarium resistance, drought resistance); probably in the next few years certified cultivars of transgenic wheat shall be commercially available. There is concern that once transgenic wheat is released for commercial production, there will be a potential pollen flow from GM wheat to non GM-wheat (van Acker et al., 2003). As a consequence the product could not fulfil all the requirements of some international markets and farmers could lose the ability of choose between conventional, organic or GM- based crop productions, in compliance with the relevant EU legislation on labelling and/or purity standards. EU regulations framework establishes a 0.9% labelling threshold for the adventitious presence of GM material in non-GM products. Thus, problems could appear in wheat if no measures are taken prior to the release and commercialisation of any transgenic cultivars to establish the basis that allows the coexistence of all type of wheat with the GM wheat. Outcrossing studies between T. aestivum cultivars have been conducted by different authors in the absence of any pollen competition on male sterile receptor plants. In this sense emasculate plants provide information on the upper levels of outcrossing under specific conditions and help in evaluating safety distances that avoid outcrossing and potential pollen-mediated gene-flow. Outcrossing rates in these studies are very different among experiments in terms of frequency of hybrid seed set and maximum seed set distance (from 12 to 73% at distances near to the pollen source, from 0.3 to 9 % at around 10 m distance) (Khan et al., 1973; de Vries 1974). In a three-year study we assessed the maximum potential outcrossing under field conditions between the wheat cultivars Pavon (receptor) and Chinese Spring (3 x 3 m source donor). Bread wheat can also coexist in the field with the second major cultivated wheat species, the durum wheat tetraploid Triticum turgidum L. (tetraploid, AABB) that is closely related to bread wheat which bulk of production is concentrated in the Middle East, North America and the Mediterranean region. For this reason durum wheat T. turgidum L. var. durum cultivar Nita was also included in the study. Outcrossing was measured by seed set on emasculated recipient plants. Frequencies of seed set at 0 m distance were 45% (37-56%) for T. aestivum cultivars and 18% (5-30%) with T. turgidum (Loureiro et al., 2007). Under semiarid conditions of this assay, viable pollen was found at 14 m from the source, the maximum distance analyzed, with a distance of 8 m at which cross-pollination decreases below 1%. There is a strong positive correlation between outcrossing and the amount of pollen in air, for this reason hybridisation at distances close from the pollen source are similar to maximum hybridisation when emasculated plants were used as receptors. However as the distance from the pollen source increases the pollen concentration rapidly decline, 90% of the pollen in wheat remains within 6 meters from its source (Jensen, 1968; Loureiro, 2005). A mean seed set of 45% at 0 m decrease to 10% at 2 m (Figure 1). At 10 m seed set was of 1% in agreement with data of Stopkopf & Rai (1972) ; de Vries (1974) and Zhao et al. (2000) and slightly higher than data of Lu et al. (2002). Other authors have found a slower decrease on seed set in relation to distance from the pollen www.intechopen.com 228 Herbicides, Theory and Applications source (Johnson et al., 1967; Bitzer & Patterson 1967; Khan et al., 1973). An exponential predictive curve (Figure 1) provides the upper level of the magnitude of this event (Loureiro et al., 2007). In these circumstances, 5 m would be required to avoid adventitious GM presence above the 0.9% marked by the European legislation. This isolation could be higher downwind with 7 m required to meet the threshold. 60 50 % Outcrossing 40 2000 2001 30 2002 General 20 Downwind 10 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 Distance (m) Fig. 1. Mean seed set related to distance under no pollen competition in field assay. The outcrossing between wheat cultivars have been also assessed natural conditions of pollen competition. Experiments were carried out in the year 2005 at "La Canaleja (Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, INIA) and at "El Encín" (Instituto Madrileño de Investigación y Desarrollo Rural y Agrario, IMIDRA) experimental stations, Madrid, Spain. The layout of the experiment was such that it permitted observations on the extent of natural crossing of a wheat pollen donor with different recipient cultivars and in different directions and distances. The experimental field design consisted in a 50 x 50 m central square plot sown with a T. aestivum chlorotoluron tolerant cultivar pollen donor (Castan in "El Encin" and Deganit in "La Canaleja") at field density and chlorotoluron susceptible receptors (Altria and Recital) placed in the four sides of the pollen source at distances of 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 100 m. In any case the mean of outcrossing reached 2% at 0 m distance. This value was always below 5% downwind even in close proximity (Loureiro et al., 2005). Outcrossing was detected at the very low level of 0.07% at 100 m from the source. These outcrossing rates are in the range of published frequencies averaging 1%, but that can vary between 0 to 6.7% at distances below 1 m (Griffin, 1987; Hucl, 1996; Zhao et al., 2000; Hucl & Matus-Cadiz, 2001; Loureiro et al., 2005), although hybrid seed set is also possible at greater distances. 5. Hybridization with wild relatives Genes could also be transferred from GM crops to wild relatives through interspecific hybridization. Prior to the commercialization of GM crops the research on the natural hybridization between crops and related wild species was very limited. Most of the research was done with the purpose of breeding and with the aim of transferring desirable traits between species, with crops always used as female parent in intergeneric and interspecific crosses. But the picture is quite different and numerous crops are known to have wild www.intechopen.com Pollen Mediated Gene Flow in GM Crops: The Use of Herbicides as Markers for Detection. The Case of Wheat 229 relatives that can hybridize with them somewhere in the world. Gene flow between cultivated species and their weedy and wild relatives has been documented in species such as oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) (Jørgensen & Andersen, 1994), maize (Zea mays L.) (Doebley, 1990), sorghum (Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers) (Arriola & Ellstrand, 1996), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) (Arias & Rieseberg, 1994) and sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) (Bartsch & Pohl-Orf, 1996). Hybridization with wild relatives has been a real issue implicated in the evolution of some of the most aggressive weeds. In order to prevent the diffusion of a character that could provide adaptative advantages, thus making weed and wild species more invasive (Darmency, 1994), it is important to understand the potential for gene flow and transgene introgression from cultivated wheat into other species, mainly their wild relatives. Any future market launch and use of genetically modified wheat must be undertaken with extreme care, since a number of closely related species, primarily of the genus Aegilops, share their habitat with wheat and some natural hybrids between Aegilops spp. and wheat have been documented in field borders (van Slageren, 1994). Hybridization of herbicide- resistant genetically modified wheat with populations of free living relatives could make these plants increasingly difficult to control, especially if they are already recognized as agricultural weeds and if they acquire resistance to widely used herbicides (Darmency, 1994). The transfer of herbicide resistance genes from wheat to Aegilops cylindrica Host., a noxious weed in the wheat producing areas of the western United States, has been detected in the field and created problems for its control (Seefeldt et al., 1998; Wang et al., 2001; Gandhi et al., 2006). Other wild Aegilops species like Ae. geniculata Roth., Ae. biuncialis Vis. and Ae. triuncialis L. also form natural intergeneric hybrids with bread wheat where they grow in sympatry and with overlapping flowering times (van Slageren, 1994; Loureiro et al., 2006; Zaharieva & Monneveux, 2006), a phenomenon underlining the close genetic links of the two genera. Hybrids between Ae. geniculata and Ae. triuncialis and wheat have been found in several countries of Europe, mainly in Spain and France, while Ae. biuncialis-wheat natural hybrids have been described in Lebanon (van Slageren, 1994). These natural hybrids are highly sterile, although seeds may occasionally be found in Ae. geniculata hybrids (van Slageren, 1994; Loureiro et al., 2008). In order to study the extent of natural hybridization, we collected spikes from one Ae. geniculata population that was spread extensively along a wheat field (in close proximity, Fig. 2A) where one natural hybrid has been previously detected (Fig. 2 B). A total of 3200 seeds were collected and grown in the greenhouse. Six hybrid individuals were identified from 3158 germinated seedlings, so the spontaneous hybridization rate was of 0.19% (Loureiro et al., 2006). This natural hybridization rate was similar to the 0.24% and 0.39% obtained in the assays carried under simulated field conditions explained below (Loureiro et al., 2007). Our semiarid field conditions, with frequent high temperatures and low relative humidity during the flowering periods, negatively affect to the viability and dispersal of the wheat pollen (Waines and Hegde, 2003; Loureiro, 2005). Therefore, rates of crop-wild hybridization may be higher under environmental conditions that are more favorable to hybridization. An useful herbicide resistance screening test has been conducted to detect the potential occurrence of gene flow from T. aestivum to Aegilops using herbicide tolerant wheat cultivars as pollen donors. Aegilops spp. seeds are sown at appropriate depths in 1 L plastic pots (10 cm diameter, 10 seeds per pot) containing soil and sand in a 1:1 (V ⁄ V) mixture. Plants were treated at the three leaf stage with a commercially formulated herbicide at the amount of www.intechopen.com 230 Herbicides, Theory and Applications wheat Ae. triuncialis Ae. geniculata Fig. 2. A) An extensive stand of Ae. geniculata with some Ae. triuncialis in a roadside near Zamora, Castilla-León, Spain. B) Spikes of a natural hybrid plant between Ae. geniculata and T. aestivum on the edge of wheat field. Hybrids were identified in the field by their intermediate spike morphology. herbicide recommended in the field. In the case of Chinese Spring used as parental in crosses, the spraying was done with difenzoquat (Superaven, 330 g a.i. kg-1, Cyanamid Ibérica, S.A.) at 3 kg a.i. ha−1. For Castan and Deganit, plants were sprayed 1 day after planting with a commercial formulation of chlorotoluron (Oracle, 500 g a.i. L-1, DuPont Ibérica, S.A.) at 2 kg a.i. ha-1. The damage produced by the herbicide to the growth of the susceptible plants was apparent 21 days after treatment. The response to the herbicides was evaluated visually 30 days after treatment. Herbicide applications were made using a Research Track Spray Cabinet (Devries Manufacturing, Hollandale, MN, USA) equipped with a Teejet 8002-E flat fan nozzle calibrated to spray 176 L ha-1 at 130 kPa. After spraying, the pots can be placed in the glasshouse or in a growing chamber and watered as required. Temperature was maintained at 24 ⁄ 16 ± 2ºC (day ⁄night temperature). We can see in the Figure 3A that the herbicide killed the Ae. geniculata plants 30 days after treatment, while the Deganit tolerant wheat cultivar and the F1 hybrid plants survived the treatments. Figure 3B shows the response to difenzoquat, with the CS tolerant wheat cultivar and the hybrids between this cultivar and Ae. biuncialis surviving the herbicide treatment while the Ae. biuncialis plants are dead. The results indicated that the bioassay was adequate for detecting hybrids. This kind of bioassay will be useful for the identification of hybrids in Aegilops wild populations growing near fields sown with wheat carrying a dominant trait for resistance to herbicides and in the quantification of the rate of hybridization. These bioassays using herbicides as markers for hybrid detection were used to evaluate the hybridization between cultivated wheat and two Aegilops wild relatives during two seasons in simulated field conditions under Central Spain conditions (Loureiro et al., 2007). Ten 1 m x 1 m pollinator experimental plots sowed with T. aestivum cv Deganit at field density (400 seeds m-2) were established per Aegilops spp. for each of two consecutive years of experimentation. Two to 3 days before anthesis one pot of Aegilops spp. was placed inside each pollinator plot. The wheat flowering period was monitored each year. Spikes from Aegilops plants were collected at maturity separately from each individual.

B) Herbicide resistant hybrid between Ae. geniculata and T. aestivum cv Castan wheat identified by screening with the chlorotoluron applied at 2 kg a.i. ha−1. each Ae. geniculata and Ae. biuncialis plant was screened separately to check for resistance to chlorotoluron in the greenhouse (Fig. 4A). Percentage of hybridization was estimated as a ratio of survivor chlorotoluron-resistant hybrids to the total number of Aegilops seeds sprayed. Figure 4B shows a chlorotluron resistant hybrid between Ae. geniculata and Castan. The spike morphology of interspecific hybrids, intermediate between wheat and Aegilops, was similar to that of those obtained previously by hand-crossing under greenhouse conditions and allowed for their identification. The different ploidy levels of T. aestivum (2n = 42) and the two Aegilops spp. (2n = 28) also enabled us to confirm the hybrid status of all surviving individuals on the basis of their chromosome number in root meristems (2n = 35). The estimated hybridization rates using the data from both years were similar in both species and averaged 0.34% for Ae. biuncialis and 0.31% for Ae. geniculata. Assuming these hybridization rates and that the average seed production per plant is of 58.8 and 80.2 www.intechopen.com 232 Herbicides, Theory and Applications seeds/plant for Ae. biuncialis and Ae. geniculata, respectively, in a hypothetical field population of 100 plants growing in wheat close proximity in 1 year, the next year we would find around 17 Ae. biuncialis x wheat and 24 Ae. geniculata x wheat hybrids that could germinate or remain viable in the soil for more than 1 year. This study was carried out under experimental conditions where the factors that influenced cross-pollination as experimental plot layout or flowering synchrony, were optimized to promote hybridization. Thus, the results provided are a better indication of the maximum potential for hybridization under field conditions than of actual hybridization in agronomic settings, although it can vary within and probably among wild Aegilops populations and wheat varieties (Farooq et al., 1989; Hedge & Waines, 2004). Hybridization frequency is only a component of the rate of interspecific gene flow; the ability of the hybrids to reproduce and survive in nature for the first generations is another limiting factor in terms of introgression. Fertile progenies of an Ae. geniculata x wheat hybrid were described as early as early as 1838 in the South of France (van Slageren, 1994). After a few years of cultivation, seed producing fertile plants that increasingly looked like wheat were obtained. The fact that hybrids between wheat and Aegilops spp. can be partially fertile, with low male fertilities and some female fertility that allows for backcrosses with the parents to occur (Mujeeb-Kazi, 1995), raises the question of whether a wheat gene could be transferred when other wheat fields are grown near the hybrid zone. Aegilops x wheat hybrids showed some female fertility by backcrossing when placed inside a wheat plot. Seeds were found in Ae. biuncialis and Ae. geniculata x Deganit hybrid plants when they were placed inside 1 x 1 m wheat plots for backcrossing. Mean fertility rates were of 3.17% for Ae. biuncialis hybrids (0-9.26%) and 2.87%(0-8.33%) for Ae. geniculata hybrids, with great variability among plants (Loureiro et al., 2007). These backcrossing rates are in the range of that obtained by Snyder et al. (2000) for Ae. cylindrica in an experiment with one Ae. cylindrica x T. aestivum cv Madsen hybrid plant inside a 1 m2 plot of wheat: they obtained average seed sets of 1.8% (1–2.5%) and 6% (3–9.2%) in each year. Morrison et al. (2002) found that a 44% of the 754 Ae. cylindrica x wheat hybrids produced BC1 seeds at an average rate of 1%, but up to 8% can be achieved for some hybrid plants. Higher BC1 seed set rates of near to 30% in some hybrid plants have been found for other wheat cultivars (Loureiro et al., 2009). Besides, BC1 partial self-fertility can be restored to 37% in the second backcross generation using jointed goatgrass as the recurrent parent, indicating that only two backcrosses are needed to restore fertility (Wang et al., 2001). Dose-response analysis was conducted on F1 and BC1 hybrids between Ae. geniculata (Loureiro et al., 2008) and Ae. biuncialis (Loureiro et al., 2009) and wheat. Herbicides (chlorotoluron and/or difenzoquat) were applied at 0, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 2X (X = recommended dose). The hybrids were extracted with their roots 15 days after treatment, washed with water and roots dried with paper to obtain the fresh weight. Three replicates and 3 seeds per replicate were used in each treatment. A log-logistic model (Seefeldt et al., 1995) was used to analyze the data to predict the trend of herbicide resistance. In this model, the equation y = f (x) = C + (D – C) / (1 + (x/LD50) b) was used to fit the data (LD50 = 50% inhibitory dose, b = slope of the curve at LD50, C = lower limit and D = upper limit). Figure 5 shows the herbicide dose–response curves based on fresh weight 15 days after treatment of Ae. geniculata, F1, BC1 and wheat cultivars with the herbicides chlorotoluron and difenzoquat. www.intechopen.com Pollen Mediated Gene Flow in GM Crops: The Use of Herbicides as Markers for Detection. The Case of Wheat 233 Fig. 5. Herbicide dose–response curves. Ae. geniculata, F1, BC1 and wheat cultivars with the herbicides (A) chlorotoluron and (B) difenzoquat. As hybrids could maintain the herbicide resistance from wheat, as is shown by the LD50 values of the F1s and BC1s, the spread of these plants will be favoured by the use of the herbicide. At this point, herbicide resistance could be used as a good marker gene for hybrid detection and for the study of the herbicide resistance transference in the subsequent generations. The hybridization ability, the partial fertility of Aegilops–wheat hybrids, the expression of herbicide tolerance from wheat in the cytoplasmic background of Aegilops and the successful backcross seed production indicate that hybrids could facilitate the transfer of herbicide resistance from cultivated wheat to Aegilops in the hypothesized case of backcrossing with Aegilops as male parent. Until now, no case of herbicide-resistance in Ae. geniculata or Ae. biuncialis harmful to farmers have been reported, which could be an indication of the real low level impact of hybridization. However, there is evidence of past gene-flow and natural, sporadic introgression from wheat into related Aegilops species (Weissman et al., 2005). This fact could give to the introgressed hybrids and successive generations a selective advantage and could increase the weediness of these species under an agronomic scenario of herbicide- resistant wheat, as is pointed out by Schoenenberger et al. (2006) for Ae. cylindrica. Broader research is needed on the fertility and fitness of the hybrids and their progenies when Ae. geniculata is the male parent in the backcrosses. This information could let us predict the relative advantage of hybridization on the adaptive ability of Aegilops spp. and hybrid derivatives and its impact on the environment and agricultural system. 6. Conclusions Gene flow dynamics need to be considered in planning future field experiments with transgenic wheat. Agricultural reality shows that the degree of autogamy is high in wheat and that, generally, gene flow can be managed, provided that some precautionary measures are taken, such as keeping enough spatial isolation from other non GM wheat fields or from Aegilops wild relatives which wheat can hybridize. More research in this field is needed in order to establish coexistence measures to avoid unintended presence of GM in non-GM wheat, with cross-pollination being studied case by case and region by region. The fertility and fitness of the hybrids and their progenies must be also further evaluated in order to www.intechopen.com 234 Herbicides, Theory and Applications determine the potential introgression of the herbicide resistance genes into the wild species, a phenomenon that must be adequately assessed to avoid any potential risk derived of gene transfer. 7.

Here's a scary Halloween story: Tens of thousands of (possibly frustrated) football fans will be driving through Champaign-Urbana just as costumed children hit the streets.
Or even spookier (for the 1-6 Illini): a ghostly Memorial Stadium abandoned at halftime by parents leaving to get home for trick-or-treating.
Saturday's contest between the UI and its hated rival, Michigan, starts at 2:30 p.m., which means the game isn't likely to end until around 6 p.m. – in the middle of the official trick-or-treat window of 5 to 7 p.m.
The overlap poses a dilemma for families planning to attend the game and raises safety concerns among others.
"Anytime there's a football game, you're talking about 40,000 or 60,000-plus people," said Jonas Dees of Champaign. "That's just a lot of cars."
The official trick-or-treat hours are set jointly by the cities of Champaign and Urbana and Champaign County, a schedule adopted years ago to coordinate festivities, said Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing. When Halloween falls on a weekend, the time is 5 to 7 p.m.; during the week, it's 6 to 8 p.m., to allow parents to get home from work.
The last time Halloween fell on a UI home game was 1987 (Illinois beat Minnesota, 27-17).
"This is just an odd year," Prussing said. "There's nothing you can schedule that's not going to conflict with something else."
The football start time was set last summer by the folks at ABC, which is televising the game, said Kent Brown, assistant UI athletic director for media relations.
Both Illinois and Michigan have strong television followings, and the network looks for intriguing matchups when it schedules games in advance, he said.
"Our agreements with our TV partners don't allow us to dictate start times," Brown said. "It's unfortunate. Personally, I'm going to miss trick-or-treating with my kids that night."
Dena and Dave Bagger, who have two boys, decided to skip the game altogether in favor of trick-or-treating.
Their church is hosting a concession stand at the game and had trouble rounding up volunteers because of the time conflict.
"It's definitely problematic," Dena Bagger said. "They're going to let the kids leave a little bit earlier so they can go trick-or-treating."
Lynette Dodds of Champaign was excited when her family was invited to sit in a friend's corporate suite – until she realized it was a late game. Her children were invited to a Halloween party at 4:30 p.m.
"Unfortunately we won't be able to stay for the whole game," she said. "As much as we love the Illini, they're probably going to be out of the game by then anyway. Leaving around 4-ish probably won't be a huge issue."
Seventh-grader Hayden Dodds' Halloween costume: an undercover Illini fan. He's wearing a football jersey with a paper bag over his head.
Several parents said pushing back the trick-or-treat hours to 6 to 8 p.m. would help.
"First, more people will be off the road later in the day (inebriated or not)," Dees wrote in an e-mail.
"Two, this will also allow people to get home to GIVE children candy." He's asked a friend to hand out candy until he can get home.
Fans leaving the game often fill major arteries for up to an hour afterward – Kirby, Lincoln and Prospect avenues, and Windsor Road – some of which run through residential neighborhoods.
UI Police Chief Barbara O'Connor said plenty of officers will be on hand to monitor drivers after the game. The UI coordinates with Illinois State Police and Champaign County on game-day patrols.
"We are always out looking for drunk drivers, and we're going to have a lot of officers on patrol Saturday night, including me," she said.
Drinking isn't allowed inside the stadium, and officers patrol tailgate areas, she said. By and large there have been few problems, she said, noting UI police have made just two arrests this football season, neither for a DUI.
Champaign Mayor Jerry Schweighart said there are no plans to adjust trick-or-treat hours, and he doesn't see it as a safety issue.
Fans can't drink at the game, he said, and attendance may be down anyway because of the Illini's record.
Prussing said she'd rather have kids out earlier, while there's still daylight. If the game lasts until 6, children will have an hour to trick-or-treat before traffic hits.
Most post-game traffic is on main streets, she added, advising parents to keep their kids away from major routes.
Chris Hanna, assistant UI athletic director for sales and marketing, asked drivers leaving the game to take extra care and parents to remember the "large number of cars on the road after the game."
Schweighart suggested parents take normal safety precautions, give their kids lights or reflectors so they can be seen in the dark, and try to stay with their children.
"If people want to trick-or-treat until 7 or 8 on their own, we're not going to arrest them," Schweighart added.

I am a mother, I'm wife, and a daughter, but I am also an immigrant. I speak with an accent and sometimes get my words confused as I am constantly translating in my mind. Never in my life would I have imagined leaving my dear Island of Puerto Rico to come to the States to work. I was part of the Next Generation of new young professionals leading in the government and private sector with many opportunities and a great life. But life happens, so does a deep economic depression, and Puerto Rico was not exempt from it. Now I'm part of the "Nueva Ola" or New Wave of professionals who decided to move away from home to survive and to provide a better future for their families.
I am not the first one, or the last one to move to the United States to find an opportunity. Whether your parents, grandparents or ancestors came in from different parts of the world, we have different colors in our blood, but we are all the same-we all bleed red. Today we start celebrating the strength and hard work of Hispanic Americans, whose zeal for family and country has helped shape society. We celebrate not only diversity, but heritage, integrity, and honor.
I am blessed; today I woke up as an Employee of one of the best Companies for Diversity according to Hispanic Business magazine and the best Company in the world–at least for me because Southwest is Home away from Home. Celebrate today your heritage, the struggles and the triumphs of those who came to this great land before you, and I encourage you to embrace how the world has changed.
¡Celebra tu Herencia!

This "relocation" issue is based in Broward county, FL. Father does not know where his child was moved to but suspects that it is less than 50 miles from his house. He pays child support and has visitation rights but Mother refuses to provide new address because she is upset that judge ordered for them to sell the house they used to live in. I found FL Statute 61.13001 and 61.13 but are these statutes the ones that we should quote when requesting the "new home address" of the minor child??
I would want to look at the final judgment, but if the move is less than 50 miles than the relocation statute wouldn't be applicable. I'm guessing you have shared parental responsibility. Your ex-wife cannot refuse to give you the new address. You have a right to know where the child sleeps at night. I would request the new address is writing and let her know that you'll be filing a motion if you don't have the information by X date.
You have a right to know the address, put the request in writing to the other side and if she does not respond, then file a motion and ask for fees and sanctions. Best of luck.
You have a right to know the address of your child. This is something that the family law court requires whether the parties want to or not. There are exceptions in the case of domestic violence but as a whole, both parents are to know where their child is when he/she is with the other parent.

Wild Pitch Records
Wild Pitch Records was a hip hop record label started in the mid 1980s by Stuart Fine and was eventually distributed by EMI and eventually acquired by Jay Faires, who tried to reactivate it as part of his short-lived JCOR Entertainment label. Artists who released records under this label include Main Source, Lord Finesse, Ultramagnetic MCs, Chill Rob G, Gang Starr, UMC'S, O.C., Brokin English Klik, Hard knocks, and the Coup. Since the majority of its albums were released in the early 90's and went out of print, Wild Pitch re-released their catalog on April 22, 2008.

Cee Lo Green - What Part of Forever
Cee Lo Green is incredibly talented. I had the opportunity to see him perform live at SOBs way back during the release of his first solo album in 2002. To be completely honest, prior to the show I didn't really know what to expect. I was familiar with his work on The Goodie Mob, but didn't realize his full potential. His latest album entitled, "The Lady Killer" was released this past Tuesday. I still haven't fully digested it yet, but from what I quickly previewed, it sounds dope. The song for this below video is actually not on the album, it's featured on the "Eclipse" soundtrack (go figure, right?) released last June. However, I felt compelled to post it to pay tribute to good soulful music.
