I'm going to start this out by saying I am more than excited to watch this timberwolves team play together this season. From watching wes' sweet stroke behind the ark and his ridiculously long arms raise above the rim for highlight reel dunks, rubio's European handles and out of nowhere alley-oops to our new under armour spokesman Derrick Williams and late season addition anthony Randolph, to Kevin love looking to break last season's double double streak and unreal rebounding numbers.
But, somebody has to bring it up, and every team in the NBA should consider it.. Dealing for chris Paul and Dwight Howard. We can put together a fairly good package for both with all the assets we have collected in the past few years. They might not be the best trade proposals out there, but you also have to consider the fact that even if another team has a better offer on the table Paul or Howard may not want to sign an extension with that team hense taking that better offer off the table. So let's do this.
MN: chris Paul NO: Rubio, Beasley, Darko, Wes
MN: Dwight howard Orlando: pek, love, Wayne, future 1st and 2nd
Our lineup: Paul, Webster, Williams, Randolph, Howard Bench: ridnour, tolliver, miller, lee, midlevel exception
I think that is a decent offer for both and they would be tempted to sign an extension with us since they have each other, cap space next year for another possible fringe all star, young studs in Williams and Randolph. I'm just saying, it looks pretty good on paper. Do I think it will happen? No. Are we a destination either player would choose? No. Is that the best offer we or another team could put together? No. But, it might be the best out there that would entice both them to sign an extension and their team enough return to accept the trade. I have a feeling this will bring some negative feedback seeing as how we are all looking forward to watching OUR wolves play. Just saying it looks good on paper, really good.
What does CH nation have to say about it (or anything wolves related really)?

Peak copper (and peak other metals)?
View Single Post
Proton Soup
Dec9-08, 07:08 PM
well, copper isn't even as easy to mine as finding rich veins of ore. the
mine just gradually digs out an entire mountain of 0.6% copper.
a lot of that copper probably ends up in landfills, tho, as we toss out broken electronics. but much of it gets recycled because copper is expensive. around here, thieves are even cutting out peoples' air-conditioning coils to take to the recycler. aluminum, otoh, is nearly pointless financially. me and a neighbor collected cans as kids, and even throwing in some scrap his dad found at the railroad, i doubt we had more than $40 at the end of a summer.
i have wondered about the copper problem, though. would we be able to meet demand if electric vehicles suddenly became popular?

Update: Hamilton is one of 7 new Chiefs players signed. More here.
We've had a handful of social media reports indicating the Kansas City Chiefs have signed someone. On Friday it was free agent LB Jordan Campbell, who spent some time at USC before signing with the Bengals, saying that both he and fellow free agent and former Jet Joe McKnight signed with the Chiefs. He even had pictures to prove it.
That information came via Twitter and Instagram so it's only fitting that we now have a posting that comes via Facebook. Dominique Hamilton is a former 6'5, 315-pound nose tackle at Mizzou who signed with the Redskins as an undrafted free agent.
He posted this on his Facebook page, along with the picture:
Redskins offered another contract but felt I should play somewhere else, new year new team. Gotta make 2014 my year. #BackToMissouri
Terez Paylor of the KC Star has confirmed the news.
The Chiefs have yet to formally announce any of these signings yet but the signature on that dotted line, along with Paylor's report, sure does make it look official. Teams have larger rosters in the offeason so this is the start of the Chiefs trying to improve on their 2013 season.

Visitors to the Expo have a chance to write inspiring messages on bibles that will be shipped to service men and women deployed overseas.
An American Idol star performed at the American Bible Society event.
At the Sunbelt Ag Expo, James Williams of Perry, Florida wrote an encouraging message inside a bible that will go to a deployed soldier.
What did you write?
"Thanks for all that y'all do and the sacrifices y'all make," said Williams.
The bibles signed are being loaded on this military truck to be shipped to service men and women around the world.
As folks wrote inspiring messages, former American Idol contestant Krista Branch sang her hit "I am America" and other patriotic songs.
"I think soldiers have a particularly hard time dealing with certain things so what better resource than to give them the word of God," said Branch.
American Bible Society Organizers say they have 15,000 bibles.
"The pastors in Moultrie, Georgia a ground swell of activity have already signed 3,400 bibles," said retired Col. James Puchy and executive director of national ministries at the American Bible Society. "Their churches have done that but we're hoping the wonderful folks at Sunbelt are going to sign the rest of those 15,000."
"It's a great cause for the troops and what they do for us," said Williams.
He hopes you'll stop by the tent and an encourage a deployed member of our armed forces.
In the 1860s, the American Bible Society provided Civil War soldiers with pocket-size copies of the Bible.
Now it provides customized Bible for each branch of the Military.
Here's a press release with more information:
Oct. 18-20: South Georgians Offer Deployed Soldiers Hope on the Battlefield
Sunbelt Ag Expo Attendees Join American Bible Society & American Idol Star Krista Branch to Help Soldiers Deal with the Pressures of War
MOULTRIE, Ga., Oct. 17, 2011—During the Sunbelt Ag Expo Oct. 18-20, attendees will have the opportunity to help troops battle the fear, despair and loneliness of war by sharing a message of hope, encouragement and comfort. American Bible Society, a first-time exhibitor, is inviting Sunbelt attendees to place a note of encouragement inside camouflage Bibles to be sent to deployed troops across the globe. The American Bible Society tent is also hosting American Idol alum Krista Branch, who will perform patriotic songs to honor those currently serving our nation.
"It is the greatest honor to provide Bibles to those who give so much to protect our nation and our freedom," said Retired Col. James Puchy, executive director of national ministries, American Bible Society. "I know firsthand of the incessant and unsettling pressures of military life, and how only God's Word can help when faced with the trauma, grief and physical injuries that are all too common on the battlefield."
Of the 1.6 million service members who have been deployed since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began in 2001 and 2003 respectively, one in five will return home with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression. The Bible provides a message of hope during these times of intense need.
Almost since its founding, American Bible Society has offered the hope of God's Word to those in military service. In the 1860s American Bible Society provided Civil War soldiers pocket copies of the Bible. Today, it provides customized Bible resources for each branch of the U.S. Military.
WHAT:Sunbelt Ag Expo attendees will sign camouflaged Bibles to be given to active military deployed across the globe. All are welcome to visit the American Bible Society booth to participate in this free activity and hear American Idol Star Krista Branch perform. In addition, Heritage Church (Moultrie) will host a free concert featuring Krista Branch Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m.
WHO:One of the nation's oldest nonprofits, 195-year-old American Bible Society is partnering with the Sunbelt Ag Expo and local churches including Heritage Church in Moultrie to provide Bibles with notes of encouragement to chaplains for deployed military personnel.

Most of us fans are pretty excited to see Mr. Paea step onto the field to replace Tommie Harris this season, if there is one! He seems to be a pretty laid back fellow with the on-field intesity of a Grizzly Bear. But one thing that most of us didnt know is that he can sing!
i stumbled across this youtube video the other day and to my surprise, (literally) He can actually sing. He might not be the next Jim Cornelison but he's not too shabby either. Check it out for yourself.

Marlin Jackson done for the year
Well, so much for getting healthy. Now, both Indy's starting CBs are out. Kelvin Hayden may come back for 2008, but Adam Shefter says Marlin Jackson won't. Very tough break. Dante Hughes and Tim Jennings now have to step up. Despite what some here have said, both Jennings and Hughes are very solid young corners. They can get the job done. Tip to tenyardfight.

The Reds were just minutes away from booking a place in the Capital One Cup final when Bardsley struck a low shot at De Gea in the 119th minute and the ball slipped from the Spaniard's grasp and trickled over the line.
Javier Hernandez momentarily rescued the tie for the Reds with a goal in added time of extra time, and De Gea went on to play his part in the subsequent shoot-out with two penalty saves, yet Sunderland still came away as 2-1 winners on spot-kicks and booked their place at Wembley in March.
"David has been fantastic," Fletcher told MUTV. "In the last 18 months I don't think there has been a better goalkeeper around. He really has been fantastic. He's been a shining light, one of the big positives of this season.
"He's disappointed, as everyone is, but he will be fine and he will show what a top goalkeeper he is. He redeemed himself in the penalty shoot-out with two saves and we should have done better with our execution of the penalties.
"All goalkeepers make mistakes and it's just unfortunate for David that it's happened to him tonight. But he will be OK."

Since we decided to house sit for our friends, we knew we needed to have a dinner party. We have people over for food all of the time, but it is very casual. It is also hard because we don't have a table to eat on. We usually end up having pizza or cheesesteaks. We knew we would have a really nice kitchen and dining table for a week and we knew we would need to use them. We decided to go OTT with this party because who knows when we would next have such an opportunity. The more over the top we started thinking, the crazier it became.
On Thursday, 2 days before the dinner, we handed out these menus to our four lucky friends while they were at work.
The day before the dinner we made dough for the "Philly cheese steak" and ice cream for the dessert.
We make dough all the time for pizza. Start with almost 2 cups of water that has been in the freezer for about an hour. A big teaspoon of instant yeast and another bigger one of salt. You need 4 and a half cups of flour, but only put in about 3 to start.
Mix it for about 2 or 3 min and then put it in the refrigerator for about 20 min. This is a stage known as autolyze. My fridge is a mess
Next take it out and mix it for a good 6 minutes. This is the wet knead. Here you are developing the gluten while it is still easy before the mixture becomes too doughy. After the 6 or so minutes, start adding the rest of the flour. I am not being very detailed today because I will be covering this with extreme detail when I do a full pizza post in a few months.
Take the dough out and put it into a container sprayed with olive oil and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
For the ice cream, we followed Ina Garten's espresso ice
cream recipe and it turned out excellent.
You can get the recipe here.
Beat 6 egg yokes with sugar for awhile, then mix in the scalded half and half and espresso grinds. Put it in the refrigerator for 5 hours, or the freezer for 2.
Kahlua. Homemade ice cream benefits from the use of alcohol to keep it soft in the freezer.
Mix it all together and throw it in the ice cream maker. Mmmm
In the morning we went shopping and around 12 we started cooking. This is the awesome cut known as pork belly. As our butcher put it, "Pork belly is a beautiful yet misunderstood cut of meat."
Looks like bacon right? That's because it is! This is what they use to make bacon and pancetta, this is just before the curing and smoking processes.
We scored the fat but I'm not sure if it was necessary. This would make it crispy in the oven, but we were braising it so it wouldn't be crispy either way.
Salt and pepper everywhere.
Meanwhile Mandi was peeling potatoes.
Mmmm looks good already, but it still has hours to go.
We threw in some carrots and onions. We were not trying to give it much flavor though, we wanted the belly to shine. That's why we just added water as a braising liquid. Then we covered and simmered it for a few hours.
This beef is for the shepherd's pie soup croquette
The carrots are for one of the 2 soups that go with the croquette.
The list above is actually a timeline we had to strictly follow. If you click on it, you will be able to see it better. Go on, don't be shy, just click it.
This is those potatoes mashed from earlier. We added the corn and beef.
The start of the 2 soups.
Whoops, missing picture, before this, I added green onions first to the pea pan, and white ones to the carrot pan.
Here we just added beef stock, also a little curry powder to the carrots to make it extra delicious.
Mandi making the croquettes. Elvis wants to help.
Traditional croquette shape
This is 4 eggs to 3 cups flour for pasta.
As you can see this one is colored with shaved beet. We let them sit for a bit.
Wow the pork belly is done and it is delicious.
We reserved some cooking liquid for in the butter sauce.
We were planning on just making normal raviolis with a red stripe on the top. I casually mentioned to Mandi a comment about a show we watched on food network a few months back where Giada and Mario go to an artisan ravioli store that makes these ravioli masterpieces that had all sorts of designs. The second I said it I started thinking, hmm maybe I shouldn't have said that, were kinda running out of time and I can see the fire in Mandi's eyes. She has a crazy idea and it is probably going to take hours. Here we go.
No frills here, just pork belly, pasta, and butter will be in the final dish. We really didn't want to mess with the pork belly flavor.
I have no words here
Like an archeologist uncovering a fossil, Mandi brushes the flower off her pasta.
After that madness, we took showers and cleaned up and got ready for the guests arrival.
Just before everyone got there we laid out the dough into rounds.
We also began the soufflés.
This is the recipe we followed
We also got the onions ready for the chutney. This is just super caramelized onions
And the raspberry sauce is just raspberries and sugar cooked for a while then blended.

Lessons for food-safety policy from the Aberdeen typhoid outbreak
David Smith |
Executive Summary
- Over 500 people were hospitalised by an outbreak of typhoid in Aberdeen in May/June 1964.
- The official enquiry that followed (the Milne report) concluded that a 6 pound can of corned beef had been contaminated by cooling water during manufacture in Argentina. The infection had spread to other produce at a supermarket, via implements, surfaces, and hands. A series of recommendations were made which aimed to prevent the re-occurrence of these circumstances.
- Detailed analysis of events surrounding the Aberdeen typhoid outbreak makes it possible to draw a series of broader lessons from the affair concerning the nature of food-safety policy-making.
- Food-safety policy-making during the 1960s was a complex process. Decisions were normally taken by civil servants but ministers, including the Prime Minister, became involved in crisis situations.
- Thus the link between scientific advice and the decisions made was often tenuous because of the intervening effects of a large number of political and commercial considerations.
- While the Aberdeen typhoid outbreak did not lead to any decisive shift in the nature of food-safety policy-making, a concentrated series of episodes in the 1980s and 1990s led to the creation of the Food Standards Agency, which aimed to restore public confidence in the government's food-safety machinery.
- To date, openness has been the watchword of the Agency but as the organisation becomes more complex, its work more routine and public interest diminished, insights into the 1960s policy-making process may alert interested parties to the kind of problems which may yet re-emerge.
Typhoid and corned beef in 1963
The Aberdeen outbreak was preceded by three much smaller typhoid outbreaks in England - in Harlow, South Shields and Bedford, between May and October 1963. These were all associated with corned beef from the same canning plant in Argentina, known as Establishment 25, and it was realised, soon after the first outbreak, that the plant had been using untreated cooling water, and that a typhoid outbreak had occurred in the vicinity. It was not until some five months later, however, that corned beef in circulation in Britain from Establishment 25 was withdrawn on the advice of the Ministry of Health.
The subsequent Milne report accepted the explanation that it was not until the third outbreak that the evidence was sufficient to justify action, but examination of the original documents suggests that there were also other factors involved. The officials of both the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (or MAFF) were very concerned to avoid publicity, and in the case of MAFF especially, this was because they feared offending the Argentine government. This was in view of other on-going delicate negotiations about the volume of Argentine chilled beef imports. Since the spring of 1963, after a sudden increase in such imports, which depressed prices and increased subsidies to British farmers, MAFF had been trying to persuade Argentina to limit their chilled beef exports to Britain. Public accusations against Argentine corned beef were likely to upset these negotiations.
Such considerations were of less concern to the Ministry of Health, but they also acted as quietly as possible: this was the preferred method of the civil service. When they finally decided to withdraw the corned beef, the ministries arranged for the operation to be carried out by the company concerned. Local medical officers of health were kept in the dark, and the problem with untreated cooling water was not publicised in South America. So among the factors which conditioned decision-making in this example, were concern with international trade relations, and civil service secrecy culture.
The Aberdeen outbreak
In view of the 1963 outbreaks, MAFF's chief technical adviser on meat inspection, a veterinarian, was sent to South America to inspect the canning factories. Establishment 25 was now satisfactory, but two others, Argentine 1A and Uruguay 5 had been using untreated water. Several consignments of 1A corned beef in transit were stopped, but others already in Britain were left in circulation, later causing the Aberdeen outbreak.
The explosive nature of the Aberdeen outbreak during the last week of May 1964, along with a mistaken allegation by Aberdeen's medical officer of health that thirteen-year-old corned beef released from the government's nuclear stockpile might be the cause of the outbreak, created intense press interest and vigorous questioning of ministers. The uproar led to the formation of the Milne committee, and the creation of a special committee of ministers to oversee the handling of the outbreak. The Ministers of Health and Agriculture, and the Secretary of State for Scotland were members, but two senior cabinet members, Christopher Soames and William Deedes also played key roles. These political heavyweights were involved because of the impending general election, and the Conservative administration in power was flagging. The political stakes were high and decisive action was called for if public confidence was to be regained.
From 2 to 22 June the ministers' committee approved recommendations by expert advisers for the withdrawal of successive batches of canned meat, and local medical officers of health supervised the exercise. The first withdrawal was of Argentine 1A and Uruguay 5 corned beef. Later corned beef from another factory, Argentine 1819 was withdrawn, following the discovery of a food-poisoning organism (not typhoid) in a can in Edinburgh.
Compared to decision-making in 1963, these decisions were made rapidly, stimulated by domestic political considerations, the intense public, press and parliamentary interest, and the sense of crisis that prevailed.
Decision-making on the Milne Committee recommendations
Overseas meat inspection
One recommendation concerned the mechanism for approving meat exports to Britain. According to the established system, permission was granted subject to a satisfactory inspection of the foreign country's meat plants and meat-inspection service by one of MAFF's technical advisers on meat inspection.The Milne report recommended, however, that in future a Ministry of Health medical officer should also be involved. This recommendation was received with indignation and resisted by MAFF veterinarians, the background to this being that the overseas meat-inspection responsibility was the only small public-health role monopolised by the British veterinary profession. Meat inspection in Britain was supervised by medical officers of health, whereas in most other countries there was a state meat-inspection service controlled by veterinarians.
The debate between the Ministry of Health and MAFF on this recommendation became strongly intertwined with other policy processes. Firstly, negotiations on the recommendations of a Treasury working party report which aimed to establish a clearer demarcation of duties with regard to food and nutrition. Secondly, negotiations arising from the recommendations of the Verdon-Smith committee on fatstock marketing, that proposed the establishment of a centralised-meat inspection service. This was eventually precluded by a Treasury ruling.
These other decision-making processes, as well as the opposition of MAFF veterinarians, delayed the implementation of the Milne committee recommendation. And it was also implemented half-heartedly, largely just to make it possible for the government to claim it had implemented the recommendation. The key factors involved here, then, were inter-departmental and inter-professional rivalries and wider pre-existing policy agendas, as well as political considerations.
Reprocessing and release of 'suspect' corned beef
Given the commerical value of the meat involved, efforts were made to see whether it was technically possible to make safe the suspect meat. A working party considering means of reprocessing the suspect corned beef was completing its work by the time the Milne committee reported. The Milne committee recommended that once the method was finalised, the suspect corned beef could be reprocessed and then distributed in the normal way.
The importers and others who held suspect stock were anxious to press ahead. Foley Brothers Ltd, the main importers and holders of the Establishment 1819 stock, carried out reprocessing trials, and the Ministry of Health was satisfied that the product posed no health risk. Foleys then pressed for permission to begin distribution. At this stage, however, other sections of the food trade, especially the retailers, began to object to reprocessing on the grounds that consumer reaction would damage the canned-meat market, which was only just recovering from the Aberdeen typhoid outbreak. Some consumers' representatives also expressed concern, and a new wave of press coverage began. In the light of this, Prime Minister Harold Wilson intervened, and told the Ministers of Health and Agriculture that he wanted the reprocessed as well as the suspect corned beef to be permanently withheld. Wilson was governing with a very slim majority and feared the public reaction.
Sorting out the mess fell to MAFF, who struck a deal with the large producers and importers, whereby MAFF would permanently withhold their suspect nuclear stockpile stock if the firms undertook to do likewise. The big firms subsequently re-exported their suspect stock to South America. But Foley Brothers and other holders of the 1819 stock had no connection with the producer in Argentina and refused to be bound by the same undertaking. Compensation was ruled out by the Treasury, and just before Christmas 1965, Foley Brothers began to distribute their reprocessed stock. There were no legal powers to prevent this because no health risk was involved.
A further round of publicity, a chorus of protest from trade organisations, and further interventions from the Prime Minister followed. After meetings with the Minister of Agriculture the 1819 stock holders then agreed not to market their stock in Britain, in the expectation that MAFF would help them to find export markets. In the end, however, MAFF did little to help and the 1819 stock was eventually disposed of abroad on the initiative of the stockholders - and most of it was eaten without reprocessing. A few years later, most of the suspect stockpile stock was shipped to Gibraltar for reprocessing, on condition that it would not be returned to Britain.
Here then, we have an example of intervention of one section of the food trade against another, along with the press, public, and parliamentary interest, as well as the intervention of the Prime Minister, preventing the implementation of scientific advice. The consequence (in the case of the 1819 stock) was increased health risk - but this risk was ultimately exported (and probably without the risk-receivers knowing of it) to inhabitants of foreign countries.
Argentine meat-plant hygiene and meat inspection
When the chief technical adviser on meat inspection visited Argentina in Spring 1964, he was shocked by the poor state of hygiene throughout the meat industry, and the disorganisation of the Argentine Veterinary Service.
As Argentina was known to resent being singled out, an aide memoire was transmitted to 54 governments, asking for assurances that in meat plants exporting to Britain meat inspection was carried out according to procedures outlined in appendices, which also included specifications for water quality. The aide memoire asked governments to produce, by the end of September, a list of meat plants at which the specified principles would be observed, but Argentina failed to respond despite repeated reminders, and within MAFF possible actions were debated. The MAFF division responsible for meat hygiene favoured a ban on Argentine meat imports until the Argentines put their house in order. They were opposed, however, by the division of MAFF responsible for managing meat supplies, which feared meat shortages and high prices. This emphasises the role of intra- as well as inter-departmental conflict in the generation of food-safety policy decisions. MAFF's external relations division, and the Foreign Office also resisted strong action.
The ambassador in Buenos Aires was asked to put pressure upon the Argentine authorities, but after much fruitless effort, MAFF drew up their own list of acceptable establishments in August 1965. Over the next eighteen months, on the recommendations of the veterinary attach to the embassy, some of the worst establishments were removed from the list because of deteriorating standards.
In view of the veterinary attach's reports, and reports about contaminated Argentine meat from port health authorities, in 1967 the chief technical inspector on meat inspection again visited Argentina. Little had changed since 1964 but at least, following the publicity given to the Aberdeen outbreak, in no plant was there a potentially dangerous water supply. But the Argentine meat inspection service played no part in monitoring water, and the service had deteriorated further and received the strongest criticism. The inspector told the Argentine Minister of Agriculture that the UK could not tolerate a situation which 'left them open to unnecessary health risks'.
A new round of policy-making followed and a note was prepared giving notice to Argentina that, unless they cleaned up their meat industry, exports to Britain would be banned. In November 1967, however, the ambassador in Buenos Aires argued that the delivery of the note should be delayed because there was currently a 'great opportunity' to increase British exports to Argentina in view of the recent devaluation of sterling. He was also negotiating for Argentine support in the UN over Middle East issues, and there were repercussions of a foot-and-mouth epidemic in Britain, which had begun on 25 October.
The ambassador warned that the Argentines were sensitive about accusations in the British press that their meat had caused the epidemic and argued that in the circumstances 'peremptory admonitions against the Argentine' on the public-health issues should be delayed. Nevertheless, sufficient momentum had at last built up, and the ambassador was instructed to proceed. The note called for assurances that remedial measures were in hand, and set a deadline for making improvements of 1 June 1968. This determination finally to take decisive action was short-lived, however, and complicated by the temporary ban on Argentine meat imports imposed in view of the foot-and-mouth outbreak. In retaliation, Argentina threatened not to proceed with the purchase of British military equipment and other orders, and, as a result, the public-health issues were again sidelined.
Following the 1 June 1968 deadline, the Argentine meat plants were inspected and of 17 only three passed without qualification. At four, which normally accounted for about half of British supplies from Argentina, no improvement had taken place. MAFF officials recommended to their minister that unless they were removed from the approved list British consumers would be exposed to risks of 'typhoid, paratyphoid, botulism and staphlococcal toxin'. However, in view of fears of further trade retaliation, no action was taken.
Despite the easing of pressure, when the chief technical advisor on meat inspection revisited Argentina in early 1969 he reported that while the meat-inspection service remained inadequate, there had been a remarkable transformation in most of the meat plants. But the improvements had come about largely independent of any British or Argentine government activity specifically concerned with the public-health dimensions of meat hygiene. Of greater significance were impending policy changes in connection with animal-health precautions. In view of the foot-and mouth epidemic, in future only boned Argentine meat would be permitted into Britain, but this could not be produced reliably and profitably in run down, unhygienic meat plants. It was therefore commercial interests rather than public-health considerations which finally forced the owners to make the necessary investments in their premises and equipment.
In this example, as in our first one, considerations of international trade and politics again conditioned decision-making. Intra-departmental interactions were also important. In addition, we also see food-safety improvements being made, not because of pressure upon industry to comply with public-health regulations, but because of the commercial implications of new animal-health regulations
Food-safety policy-making then and now
There were other factors involved in the policy-making process in the 1960s besides those outlined here, and there are many differences between the 1960s and the current situation. In particular, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) began work on 1 April 2000, operating principles of transparency and disclosure intended to restore the faith of the public in the government's food-safety machinery following the BSE/vCJD affair and other food-safety problems. The creation of the FSA streamlined policy-making but MAFF retained responsibility for a number of issues including on-farm strategy with regard to control of food-borne zoonoses. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) retained these responsibilities when MAFF was abolished in June 2001. The Meat Hygiene Service, which was established in 1995 and finally created a centralised meat inspection under veterinary control, is now an executive agency of the FSA. However, the chief veterinary officer, on the staff of DEFRA, is head of profession for the veterinarians employed by the service. The Food Standards Agency itself, not only has national offices, but has an internal structure consisting of a Food Safety Policy Group, Enforcement and Food Standards Group and Corporate Resources and Strategy Group. Local authorities retain the responsibility for the enforcement of food standards regulations.
While there have been important changes, the system for the making and application of food policy inevitably remains complex. There is certainly continuing potential for the kind of inter-departmental, intra-departmental, and inter-professional tensions and conflicts which sometimes made decision-making and action difficult during the 1960s. As the work of the FSA develops and become more routine, the historical insights into food-policy making and action provided by this paper may sensitise participants and commentators to the kind of problems which may well re-emerge.

Jo Ann Emerson's replacement has now officially set up shop in Cape Girardeau.
Congressman Jason Smith today opened his Cape Girardeau office with a ribbon cutting and open house.
Smith commented about the farm bill approved by the U.S. House.
The measure focuses solely on farm programs and would delay, at least for now, efforts to overhaul the country's food-stamp program.
"When you look at the food stamp provision, it made up almost 80% of the funding of the farm bill," said Smith. "So, we need to be focusing on agriculture and not necessarily on entitlement programs."
Funding for food stamps was separated from the proposal.
Lawmakers will take it up later.
As for Smith, voters elected him shortly after Emerson resigned earlier this year.

i was just wondering about what you think about rayman raving rabbids and if you recommend it
I would highly reccommend it. If you want a party game, thats the one to get.
I bought it along side monkey ball, (which i'm pretty disapointed with personally compared to the first game), and its fantastic and funny as hell.
Its life span will deterorate after you complete the main game and unlock everything but its really great fun for groups. Its fun on your own in the main game when your determined to unlock everything.
I'd say go for it. Its a little dark in concept in some places but is really really funny. Sorry have I already said that? lol
Go for it, but just make sure your arms are upto it!!!
its the next game on my list to buy
I don't know whether to buy this or WarioWare..
I have played WarioWare and have never played Rayman before, but I think I may pick up Rayman instead. After watching some videos of Rayman and reading reviews, it just seems to have more of a story (if you can call it that), which wouldn't really matter to me if WarioWare made any sense at all. Although I wouldn't get a game like this for the story. I think I would prefer the minigames on Rayman compared to Wario though. Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun playing Wario, but Rayman seems like the game for me.Originally Posted by TwilightWarrior
i would recommend it man ive played it wiv my m8 and its really funny
Thanks To Dan.Skater For The Awesome Sig!

The White House has not released details about President Barack Obama's first visit to Fresno. President Obama is going to be in town Friday to discuss the drought.
The Presidential visit has one local businessman reminiscing about a surprise he received from another President.
At Simonian Farms there's a huge sign over the door and pictures from September 5, 1995 decorating the walls. The mementoes remember the day President Bill Clinton made a surprise visit to Simonian Farms.
"I was eating lunch, I was picking grapes, and I had 50–guys out in the field," says Simonian, "Then my secretary called me and said, "The President's coming you need to get back here."
Dennis Simonian thought his secretary was joking with him.
"She said, "Dennis, the secret service is standing over my desk. You better get here in 45–minutes or you're going to miss him," adds Simonian.
When Simonian got back to the store, President Clinton was about to arrive.
"They had a helicopter flying up on top, they had dogs in here, they had guys in here, and they closed all the streets off."
When Clinton's car rolled up that's when Simonian realized he was going to meet the President of the United States. After shaking hands and taking pictures, Simonian and President Clinton chatted about the antiques in front of the store.
"There were secret service and I heard the guy in the back go," "Oh we need to leave and he wants to talk to this guy some more," says Simonian.
A piece of Fresno is actually in Bill Clinton's Presidential Museum in Arkansas. Simonian sent two bikes to the White House and those bikes are now in the museum.

Dear experts
For the last months I've been developing a midlet using se JCOP part of the secure element in the 6131. It's been working perfectly until recently I suddenly got the "Problem with the secure element. Contact service provider" when I try to communicate with the reader (Cardman 5321). As I thought it was a failure with the phone I bought a new 6212, and after a while the same thing occurred with that one as well. The only thing I can imagine is that we've being doing some work with standard Mifare cards on the same reader (including changing the auth. keys). Could this have provoked the locking of the SE? Is there any way to work around the locking? If not, is it possible to change the SE in the phones?

"Island Hopping"
In mid-1943, the Allied command in the Pacific began Operation Cartwheel which was designed to isolate the Japanese base at Rabaul on New Britain. The key elements of Cartwheel involved Allied forces under General Douglas MacArthur pushing across northeastern New Guinea, while naval forces secured the Solomon Islands to the east. Rather than engage sizable Japanese garrisons, these operations were designed to cut them off and let them "whither on the vine." This approach of bypassing Japanese strong points, such as Truk, was applied on a large scale as the Allies devised their strategy for moving across the central Pacific. Known as "island hopping," US forces moved from island to island, using each as a base for capturing the next. As the island hopping campaign began, MacArthur continued his push in New Guinea while other Allied troops were engaged in clearing the Japanese from the Aleutians.
The initial move of the island hopping campaign came in the Gilbert Islands when US forces struck Tarawa Atoll. The capture of the island was necessary as it would allow the Allies to move on to the Marshall Islands and then the Marianas. Understanding its importance, Admiral Keiji Shibazaki, Tarawa's commander, and his 4,800-men garrison heavily fortified the island. On November 20, 1943, Allied warships opened fire on Tarawa and carrier aircraft began striking targets across the atoll. Around 9:00 AM, the 2nd Marine Division began coming ashore. Their landings were hampered by a reef 500 yards offshore that prevented many landing craft from reaching the beach. After overcoming these difficulties, the Marines were able to push inland, though the advance was slow. Over the next three days, US forces succeeded in taking the island after brutal fighting and fanatical resistance from the Japanese. In the battle, US forces lost 1,001 killed and 2,296 wounded. Of the Japanese garrison, only seventeen Japanese soldiers remained alive at the end of the fighting along with 129 Korean laborers.
Kwajalein & Eniwetok
Using the lessons learned at Tarawa, US forces advanced into the Marshall Islands. The first target in the chain was Kwajalein. Beginning on January 31, 1944, the islands of the atoll were pummeled by naval and aerial bombardments. These were followed by landings carried out by the 4th Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division. These attacks easily overran the Japanese defenses and the atoll was secured by February 3. As at Tarawa, the Japanese garrison fought to nearly the last man, with only 105 of nearly 8,000 defenders surviving.
As US amphibious forces sailed northwest to attack Eniwetok, the American aircraft carriers were moving to strike the Japanese anchorage at Truk Atoll. A principal Japanese base, US planes struck the airfields and ships at Truk on February 17-18, sinking three light cruisers, six destroyers, over twenty-five merchantmen, and destroying 270 aircraft. As Truk was burning, Allied troops began landing at Eniwetok. The islands of the atoll were captured on February 23, after a brief, but sharp battle. With the Gilberts and Marshalls secure, US commanders began planning for the invasion of the Marianas.
Saipan & the Battle of the Philippine Sea
Comprised primarily of the islands of Saipan, Guam, and Tinian, the Marianas were coveted by the Allies as airfields there would place the home islands of Japan within range of bombers such as the B-29 Superfortress. At 7:00 AM on June 15, 1944, US forces began landing on Saipan after a heavy naval bombardment. Fighting their way ashore, they met determined resistance from 31,000 defenders led by Lt. General Yoshitsugu Saito. Understanding the importance of the islands, Admiral Soemu Toyoda, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, dispatched Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa to the area with five carriers to engage the US fleet.
The result of Ozawa's arrival was the Battle of the Philippine Sea which pitted his fleet against seven American carriers led by Admiral Raymond Spruance and Admiral Marc Mitscher. Fought June 19-20, American aircraft sank the carrier Hiyo, while the submarines USS Albacore and USS Cavalla sank the carriers Taiho and Shokaku. In the air, American aircraft downed over 600 Japanese aircraft while only losing 123 of their own. The aerial battle proved so one-sided that US pilots referred to it as "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot." With only two carriers and 35 aircraft remaining, Ozawa retreated west, leaving the Americans in firm control of the skies and waters around the Marianas.On Saipan, the Japanese fought tenaciously and slowly retreated into the island's mountains and caves. As US troops gradually forced the Japanese out, the island's civilians, who had been convinced that the Americans were barbarians, began committing mass suicide by jumping from the island's cliffs. Lacking supplies, Saito organized a final banzai attack for July 7. Beginning at dawn, it overran two American battalions before it was contained and defeated. Two days later, Saipan was declared secure. The battle was the costliest to date for American forces with 14,111 casualties. Almost the entire Japanese garrison of 31,000 was killed, including Saito who committed suicide.
Guam & Tinian
With Saipan taken, US forces moved down the chain, coming ashore on Guam on July 21. Landing with 36,000 men, the 3rd Marine Division and 77th Infantry Division drove the 18,500 Japanese defenders north until the island was secured on August 8. Only 485 prisoners were taken. As fighting was occurring on Guam, American troops landed on Tinian. Coming ashore on July 24, the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions took the island after six days of combat. Though the island was declared secure, several hundred Japanese held out in the Tinian's jungles for months. With the Marianas taken, construction began on massive airbases from which raids against Japan would be launched.Previous: New Guinea, Burma, & China | World War II 101 | Next: Conferences & Aftermath]

Saint Charles Hospital will be expanding.
Mercy and Catholic Health Partners anounced they will be adding a new $21 Behavioral Health Unit.
The facility will allow them consolidate mental health services under one roof and include things like alcohol and drug addiction services.
Mercy will close the psychiatric floor at St. Charles and St. Vincent Hospitals and drop the number of patient beds from 114 to 90.
The hope is that having consolidated services will reduce the length of stay and allow patients to receive outpatient treatment.
Construction will start soon and wrap up by the end of the year.
The best chance for rain will be late evening Monday into the early morning hours on Tuesday.

Teenager found dead in Chelmsford prison
10:38am Friday 8th July 2011 in Local News
A TEENAGER is believed to have been found hanged in his prison cell.
Police were called to Chelmsford Prison, Springfield Road, at 8pm on Monday.
A man was taken to Broomfield Hospital by ambulance where he was pronounced dead.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "The death is not being treated as suspicious and the file has been passed to the coroner's office."

So sad ,when are the authorities going to include a risk assessment on vulnerable young people being put in prisons that are not fit for purpose prior to sentence.
"On the night of his death, one prison officer was responsible for 126 prisoners on E wing, having already worked all day. The inquest heard there was no handover and the officer had no time to read the comments in Mr Gregory's record, which said he was desperate and in need of support.
It also found there was a lack of essential equipment to deal with a medical emergency.
A prison nurse said no defibrillator was taken to Mr Gregory's cell when he was found hanging because it was cumbersome, old and did not work very well."
If that is the way Chelmsford prison is run, no wonder there is a suicide there on average every two months.
Grossly inadequate equipment and staff levels. And then, for each suicide, a statement reeking of complacency. They are not taking the problem seriously at all.

Head up into a large groove like formation and head to the crack in the back. A little run out to the first gear placement but really easy. Continue through hero jugs up the groove and then it ramps down. Use either the left or right side anchors.
This route is below a large grove that starts about 6 feet up and about equidistant between the end of the formation and the large boulder.
Some small TCU's and #.5-3. A number 4 is handy if you wish to protect the upper section. Kind of hard to select a rack for due to the spastic crack sizes.

Chicago Blackhawks capture league's best record
Though the Stanley Cup is the ultimate goal for hockey teams, there are several regular season accomplishments that come first, and on Wednesday the Chicago Blackhawks captured one of them - the President's Cup. Given to the team with the best regular season record, the cup was awarded to Chicago for the first time in 22 years after a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, reports The Associated Press.
The Blackhawks got off to a historically good start this season. They began their 2013 campaign with a record 24 game point streak - meaning they didn't drop a single game in regulation during that span. Chicago has not slowed down much since, and entered April 25 with a 35-6-5 record. But while earning the President's Cup is nice, Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews knows their job is not done.
"We have to use that experience and use that confidence from being the No. 1 team all year, and carry it into the playoffs," he told the AP.
Chicago will get the chance to parlay their regular season success into a shot at the Stanley Cup very shortly. The Stanley Cup Playoffs begin April 30.

Shift Point Display.
Clever gear changes save fuel. Shift Point Display helps by indicating the most efficient gear to use in every driving situation.
All BMW X1 models with manual transmission communicate with their driver via a display in the cockpit, with a digital indication of the optimal gear for the driver to use. The driver can choose to shift gears and save fuel – a particular benefit in city and cross-country driving. The system also senses when the situation demands greater acceleration: in this case, the gear shift recommendation is timed to appear at a higher rpm. Fuel consumption is thus reduced from one gear change to the next.

Birthday gift for the missus

I was proper chuffed with the flowers. Some serious tulips in that bouquet. Ordered them to her work- so all her work fellas knew that I was a serious bloke. She brought them home and they brought the TV room to life, and they helped masked the stink of cigarettes.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Many of you know that Benjamin Franklin coined that phrase. It has become an adage in the fire service, one that I like to use myself when speaking on the issue of prevention and mitigation.
Now, Congress has an opportunity to make Mr. Franklin proud – to do something that has the potential of saving billions of federal dollars and, more importantly, human lives. But it is going to require some pushing and prodding from public safety and other stakeholders to convince Congress to take the required action.
There is a piece of legislation pending in both the House and the Senate titled the Safe Building Code Incentive Act (HR 1878 and S. 924) that would do just that. Succinctly put, the bill offers an incentive to states for adopting and enforcing model building codes. The operative word in this measure is "incentive." This is not big government forcing its will on states and local communities; instead, this measure creates an incentive for states to adopt model building codes. It does not penalize states, but instead rewards them for good policy. These states would become eligible for an additional 4% in post-disaster Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants.
Advocates unite
The Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI) is part of an advocacy group called the BuildStrong Coalition that is encouraging Congress to approve the legislation. The CFSI staff has attended numerous meetings with congressional staff on Capitol Hill to discuss the importance of the measure. The BuildStrong Coalition is a broad-based group of associations that represent civil engineers, architects, insurance companies, code organizations and public safety. In meetings with congressional staff, association representatives share their perspectives on the measure, adding important pieces of information to the mosaic of why this legislation can make communities across America safer. For the most part, the staff has been very receptive; however, if there's one concern that we've heard from each staffer, it's the cost.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Safe Building Code Incentive Act would cost the federal government approximately $225 million over five years – certainly not a trifle amount. However, Congress needs to take off its blinders and see how much this legislation can save the federal treasury.
Every dollar spent on mitigation can save the federal government $4 in future benefits. But the climate on Capitol Hill is such that few members are willing to heed Ben Franklin's words if it costs money. Members of Congress – especially those seeking reelection – are hesitant to lend their name to legislation that might portray them as "big spenders." Yet on the other hand, most show little hesitancy to vote for supplemental spending measures for major disasters, particularly when it's their district or state that's been hit. Don't get me wrong – I do support emergency supplementals, but I think taking proactive measures to reduce the need for these emergency bills is an even better solution.
If Congress and the Administration want to make our communities safer...if they want to protect their citizens against major disasters…if they want to reduce the annual federal cost each year for recovery efforts following natural disasters…then they should sign their names to the Safe Building Code Incentive Act.
The BuildStrong Coalition has a website (www.buildstrongamerica.com) that contains information about the legislation and reasons why Congress should approve it.

5. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Darlene LovePhilles 119 b/w "Harry And Milt Meet Hal B."
Highest chart position: none (1963)
Recorded August 1963, Los Angeles, CA
As the one original song on what may be the greatest Christmas rock album of all time, this had to make the cut, even if the album and single therein didn't even make a dent on the pop charts in late 1963. (Radio played only the most somber, quiet, and reverent holiday music in the weeks after the JFK assassination.) Originally, this song -- one of the saddest and most plaintive pleas in Xmas music history, although you'd never know it from the arrangement -- was meant to be sung by Ronnie Spector, but when she couldn't quite put it across, Darlene Love was called in for what should have been her long-deserved starmaking hit single. Written by the famous Barry-Greenwich team and given the Wall of Sound treatment, it stands as a testimonial to the Teen Tycoon and his (Wrecking) crew at the height of their powers. In fact, Spector enjoyed Leon Russell's piano part near the end so much, he ran into the studio and gave him a hundred bucks on the spot. Talk about a Christmas bonus!

WORLD BOOK'S WORLD OF ANIMALS iPAD APP
Discover a virtual zoo on your iPad.
Available through the Apple iTunes Store!
Review: Fun Educational Apps, September 5, 2100
"World Book's World of Animals is a top educational reference book app for iPad. It offers tons of info, stunning pictures and videos for kids of all ages. It is easy to use, colourful, and interactive and offers an amazing educational value. Top iPad app for the family at home, but also ideal for school and home-schooling."
Do you know which animals can detach their limbs to escape a predator's attack, which species have been launched into space, and the identity of the extinct mammal that scientists believe they may one day be able to clone and bring back to life?
Delve into the fascinating World of Animals -- World Book's extraordinary educational app that gives kids of all ages engaging opportunities to explore, compare, rank, and quiz themselves on their favourite animals. This interactive app features hundreds of stunning pictures, videos and animal sounds, quick facts, encyclopedia articles, a captivating educational game, and more.
World of Animals excites learners with fun, factual information and rich multimedia on their favourite animals, from monkeys, giraffes, and penguins, to lesser-known creatures including axolotls, sugargliders, and wetas. Not to mention prehistoric animals and dinosaurs! Kids can browse the stunning gallery of animals, search for animals by name, or filter their favourites by category. Each animal gets its own profile page, featuring multimedia and quick facts about the animal's habitat, size, diet, lifespan, and conservation status along with fun facts, such as a honey bee's 'waggle dance', the length of time a cockroach can live without its head, and what makes a flamingo chick's grey feathers turn pink.
What's the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? A gorilla and an orangutan? What about a tiger and a saber-toothed cat?
Kids take their understanding of animals further by analysing the differences and similarities between animal species using the World of Animals' simple but powerful compare tool.
Which animals can live more than 100 years? What animal moves even slower than a tortoise? What is the largest animal that has ever lived?
(Hint: It's not a dinosaur!) Rank animals to see how they stack up against each other in terms of weight, height, length, lifespan, land speed, and more. Order the animals from highest to lowest (or lowest to highest) and link back to the animal's profile for more information.
So now that you're an animal expert, find out how much you've learned by playing the entertaining 'Guess Who!' game that highlights more than 500 animal facts.
Kids of all ages will be captivated by the World of Animals' fascinating array of information, dazzling collection of images and videos, interactive compare and rank tools, and an educational game that's as fun as it is educational.
