Oct. 25, 2012 The state of Texas has issued a warning to international election monitors that if they follow the Texas Presidential General Election too closely they will be prosecuted.
Photo: Greg Abbott the Attorney General of Texas – What is he afraid of with UN voter monitors?
Since Texas is currently a red state, which could possibly go blue democrat this is a shocking turn of events. The fact that international vote monitors are concerned with possible voter fraud in the state of Texas tells the country there is concern in this state.
The election watchdog group and human rights advocates, called Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe which is based in Vienna has been warned by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott -not to interfere with the state election.
Attorney General Greg Abbott cited matters of jurisdiction claiming the European group has no say in US elections, not even to monitor the vote.
(Abbott also has a history of banning funding of Planned Parenthood which has helped the many poor women in the state of Texas. By banning funding of Planned Parenthood which primarily gives care to women's health issues he has snatched away services for women, who will remain without cancer screening, mammograms and basic health services.)
The USA like all countries must observe fair, open and ethical elections just like any other country under international laws and the jurisdiction of the treaty in the USA's participation of the United Nations International Law Commission.
The State of Texas does not supersede an international organization such as the UN Law Commission.
Texas Letter to the Organization for Security and Cooperation
In a threatening letter the Attorney General Greg Abbott basically told the European group to butt out of Texas handling a federal election.
The defensive attitude by Texas seems to be over the top if there are no unethical processes involved in the voting for this election.
The OSC took the threat seriously and the response from Janez Lenarcic the director for Office for the Democratic Institutions and Human Rights stated:
"the threat of criminal sanctions against OSCE/ODIHR observers is unacceptable."
Abbott cited Texas law and characterized the group's observance of the election as "prying" and warned the group they were not allowed to enter polling stations in the state nor step foot within 100 feet of a polling station.
The State also attempted to pass stricter Voter ID laws but their efforts were also struck down by a federal court, which Abbott is still appealing, days before the election.
The Governor, Rick Perry backed up Abbott's assertions with this comment:
"No UN monitors/inspectors will be part of any TX election process; I commend @TXsecofstate for swift action to clarify issue."
The UN Voting observers have been impartially monitoring election counts since 2002, over 10 years without complaints and without incidents of harming the election process in any way. There will be 10 election experts from 10 countries stationed in the USA for the November 6th, 2012 Presidential election.
What's Texas so afraid of anyway?

Barring a last minute deal, House Republicans plan historic votes Thursday to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in civil and criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents related to a bungled gun tracking operation.Passage of the contempt resolutions was not in doubt. Republicans control the House, and are likely to pick up Democrats who support the National Rifle Association. The NRA said it's keeping score on how members vote, partly because the gun owners' group believes the Obama administration wanted to use the program called Operation Fast and Furious to make the case for more gun control.

Accelerated RN/BSN(USF/SPC/PHCC?)
- 0Sep 7, '08 by Jess84Hello, I am looking at schools that offer an accelerated RN/BSN for those already holding Bachelors Degrees. I graduated USF in December with my BA in Pol/Sci and am seriously considering getting into the nursing field. I obviously would like to complete the education in as little as time as possible (since I essentially feel as if I wasted the last 4 years in a useless major) I am also considering an A.S. to become an RN and then following later with my BSN. (I've looked into SPC and PHCC for that) Any info or insight would be helpful! I am trying not to waste anymore time
- 0Sep 8, '08 by MB37I graduated from USF's accelerated program. It had its ups and downs, but at least it only lasted 15 months. USF doesn't split classes into accelerated and not - all of your classes are combined acclerated and traditional, so you just take more of them at a time. If it was up to me we'd have our own classes, but there wasn't money for that. Some of the instructors are great, others are OK, and a few never seemed to prepare for their lectures (and the subject matter was clearly not their area of expertise). Most seem to genuinely care about the students though, and I never even heard anyone complain that one of our instructors was "trying to fail" them. Administration was pretty crappy however - they change policies at the drop of a hat, ignore student requests and petitions, and have many pointless requirements in an effort to keep their NCLEX pass rate at 100%. I do feel that despite all the crapola we had to put up with, that I got a decent nursing education. However, I worked my rear end off and read just about every assigned page. USF is inexpensive, and it worked for me because I'm very self-directed. If you need your hand held (at all), consider somewhere else.
- 0Sep 8, '08 by Jess84Wow-thanks for the info!
I am strongly considering the program, and planning to attend an info session shortly. I wouldn't be able to enter (pending I am accepted) until Summer 2010, because as a social science undergrad, I took literally no natural or bilogical science courses and have most of the pre-reqs to complete. I read that they no longer admit in the spring. Would and Summer 2010 admit mean graduation in Dec 2011?
Another thing- how competitive would you say the program is? MY GPA is only about 3.2 (screwed up a bit during the first 2 years) and I have heard that it would need to be much higher to get in. Is Cumulative GPA all they look at?
Thanks again!
- 0Sep 9, '08 by 2011nurseHello
I too am very concerned about my GPA and getting into the accelerated BSN program. I have a 3.28-3.3 and I have heard that the lowest admitted GPA has fluctuated as low as a 3.08. If anyone has any info to share, that would be great. I hope to start Fall 2009.
- 0Sep 11, '08 by jamieb3470hey, jess I would be starting in the summer of 2010 if I decide to do that as well. I also graduated in May ( from UT with a writing degree) and have just began taking Anatomy and Micro since summer... do we know if there will be a problem getting in?
I was going to apply to HCC, but the applicants versus the spots available is reallly bleak.
- 0Sep 12, '08 by Jess84I think I have a plan!!
I am going to apply to PHCC and SPC for their AS program as well as USF for their BSN. If I decide to go the community college route, I will bridge to either BSN or Masters eventually. Whatever program accepts me is who I am going with but I actually heard that it is more difficult to get into an AS program than a BSN because of the tons of applications compared to available spots. It kind of frustrates me that I already have a Bachelors and am worried about having a problem getting into an Associates program. I guess I assume it's a lot easier to have a higher GPA when your cumulative GPA is calculated for 12 or so credits of Pre Reqs as opposed to 130+ credits over 4 years so hopefully the colleges recognize that?? As of now, I am just taking as many pre reqs for all the programs as I can so I will be ready for whichever program I end up in. I just want to be done now, and I haven't even started : )
Jamie, it looks like we're in similar places, as far as age and having just graduated college and whatnot. I really hope we don't have a problem getting into a program. I just feel kinda upset with myself for not persuing nursing right out of HS, so I could already be an R.N and not just starting out down that route! (Is it odd that I feel I'll be too "old" at 26 when I finally finish??) Anyway, I have my degree and I guess nobody can take it from me...useless as it may beLast edit by Jess84 on Sep 12, '08
- 0Sep 12, '08 by jamieb3470I swear I feel the exact same way on all the same things you do.
I also feel as if I will be too "old" as I am about to turn 24...
yet in my lab yesterday, a girl who is 32 is in the same position you and I are, and
well... she's 32... yet she is married, which is a little easier in my opinion, not working, and just taking the classes that she can to try and get in. She is also trying to get in to as many programs too. I do hear it is easiest to get into an accelerated BSN, than say an ASN, hence not a lot of people want to deal with all those pre req's, AND they may not already have the Bachelor's degree. I started out as a nursing major, and after I waited 2 years for an LPN program, I dropped out, I hated it. So I also wasted THAT time as well.
Back then I was 16 and honestly didn't have the discipline to take all these classes.
So now I am stressed more than ever about just GETTING in SOMEWHERE.
I am applying to a community college in New York, that just wants you to have Anatomy 1
and some other things, but she told me a thousand people apply, for you guessed it, 45 spots. BUT I have a 4.0 in those pre req's they require....since they don't count anatomy 2 and micro... AND I STILL feel like I won't get in... :[ ugh this is so frustrating...
- 0Sep 12, '08 by Jess84FYI-PHCC only requires Anatomy 1 too! They make you take A&P 2 as part of the actual nursing program so they are actually my first choice. I was even looking at what I could CLEP to get this done faster...Good Luck to you (and me as well)
I am about to turn 24 too, in about 3 weeks! it's soo funny and refreshing to find someone is the same position as myself.

"I tend to get red meat cravings. Is there anything vegan anyone can recommend to me to replace this with?"
VegFamily readers reply:
Article continues below
Hmm, your question can't help making me question my choice of recipes. I am trying to commit a vegan lifestyle. There are many good recipes on VegFamily and PETA. The problem is lots of them have fake meat or egg replacer. I wonder if we truly want to pursue a pure plant diet, shouldn't we avoid meat imitation food?
Being a new vegan in the last 6 months, I too have gotten meat cravings. I do one of two things. First I make recipes with meat subtitutes like morning star farms meal starters, and Boca Chiken patties. I also use thicker tastier mushrooms in recipes like shitake, or portobello. I am trying out sauted tempeh as well and of course my favorite recipe is tofu scramble with "Gimme Lean Sausage-like.". The other road I take when getting cravings is to watch shows like "Food Inc" or logon to the PETA website to watch animal killing videos, and then I get rid of cravings right away. :-)
Praise SEITAN! :^D
rossella rossi:
I think your body is craving meat because of some deficiency.Probably iron. Try to eat vegan iron rich foods. That would help! Or maybe your body is craving some fat/protein rich foods: then get some beans!
I have found seitan, also known as wheat meat, to be a wonderful "meat" substitute. It is chewy and loaded with protein -- about 31 grams of protein in 4 oz. You can buy it ready-made, but it can be pricey; so I save purchasing the ready-made for times when I need that luxury and make it myself. Some recipes to make seitan are labor-intensive; but I found the best and quickest recipe right in my "Vegan Vittles" book by Joanne Stepaniak and Farm Sanctuary. I just purchase boxes of Vital Wheat Gluten and put some time aside to make this great protein. You then use your seitan in any of many, many, wonderful recipes out there. Enjoy! Of course, using seitan cannot apply to people with an allergy to gluten.
Whenever I crave a grilled steak. I marinate a large portobella mushroom cap with my favorite steak marinade, grill and eat. It ALWAYS satisfies my craving!
The Morningstar products are phenomenal and taste BETTER than meat ever did to me... and they have a very similar consistency. I think they're terrific. And then there's the frozen products put out by Amy's Foods...Fastastic! I love these. Try the vegetarian meatloaf; simply wonderful! You can give up meat and have something that totally replaces it easily. And don't forget trying some of those Tofu hotdogs - if you're blindfolded & bite into one of them, you can't tell it from the real thing. So that's my view - hope that helps.
It's so easy to be soyfree nowadays. Purely Decadent makes divine coconut 'ice cream' and coconut 'yogurt'. There are a number of yummy 'milks' out there from rice, almond, hemp and of course you can always make your own nut milks by blending soaked/drained nuts with fresh water then squeezing the the mixture thru cheezecloth. Add in some flavors when you're done...vanilla extract, cocoa powder, agave...yum! It's really easy to be a soy free vegan. Good luck!
Make sure you're getting enough iron, which you probably already know. It depends on your location, but some Chinese food restaurants have mock meat that is very good. The Mock General Tao's chicken is super tasty. If you have a Chinatown, you can usually find in the freezer section of a grocer's, that kind of imported mock meat. Frozen veggie burgers or mock meats are always the way to go, but again, it depends on your location how much of it you'll find.
Yes! BBQ flavored tempeh already prepared and packaged on a skewer. I don't know the name brand, but I buy them at my local chain grocery store in their organic section. There are lots of meat alternatives out there... you just have to try one or two at a time until you find the ones that you like.
C.H. Scarlett
Mushrooms. I saute or grill a big portabello mushroom the same way I could a steak with the same or more spice. I'll even dip it in steak sauce if I am craving that. It tastes even better than the real steak...so no more craving.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

(CNN) -- Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner has been fined US $125,800 for exposing boxer shorts adorned with the logo of an online betting company as he celebrated scoring against Portugal at Euro 2012.
The Arsenal striker, who spent last season on loan to Sunderland, was also handed a one-game ban, European football's governing body, UEFA confirmed.
After netting his second goal in the match last Wednesday, Bendtner lifted up his shirt to reveal the top of his underpants complete with the "Paddy Power" motif.
"Following the opening of disciplinary proceedings concerning the improper conduct of Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner against Portugal, the UEFA control and disciplinary body has decided to suspend the player for one competitive fixture, UEFA said in a statement.
Portugal downs Denmark in five-goal thriller
"This suspension applies to the next 2014 World Cup match, including the qualifying competition, for which Bendtner is eligible. The player has also been fined €100,000."
Bendtner claimed he had no idea his actions were illegal under UEFA rules.
"It is just a pair of lucky boxer shorts that I used in the first game as well and have used before the tournament," Bendtner told reporters. "I didn't know I was breaking any rules but I am aware of that now."
But the severity of the punishment has sparked outrage on social media, with many questioning the size of the fine compared to those recently issued for racist incidents earlier in the year.
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand tweeted: "Uefa are not serious...Platini was a great player but him & his colleagues alienate themselves with exactly this type of rubbish #priorities.
"If racism made money for Uefa like advertising does do you think Uefa would take it as serious?? #priorities."
In April, Portuguese club FC Porto was fined only €20,000 (US $25,208) after their fans racially abused Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.
Paddy Power also voiced its opinion on Twitter: "We think this is a hysterical and deeply cynical move by Uefa driven by pure commercialism!"
The company has said it would be contacting Bendtner to offer their full support.
Bendtner has three days to file an appeal.

This is our first post from Guest blogger Mark Johnson. Mark is an NKBA-certified kitchen designer, a fellow at the American Institute of Architects and a member of FAIA, CKD, and AIBD. We asked Mark to do a blog series about his experience at Greenbuild this year. For more from Mark, follow him on Twitter @MarkJohnsonFAIA.
This year's Greenbuild show was their 10th, and USGBC's momentum is still going strong! Downtown Toronto was the location, their first venue outside the U.S. The show was aptly titled – Greenbuild Next – and attendees were asking the question, "what's next", as the sustainability movement matures and Greenbuild morphs to meet the challenges of a new decade.
23,000 attendees enjoyed compelling new products from hundreds of innovative exhibitors. As an architect, I'm always on the lookout for new green products and I especially enjoy breathtaking booth designs. The 'jaw dropper' for me this year was Kohler's booth, a departure for them and one reason I spent a half hour exploring its content.
Kohler is recognized for white, minimalist booth design at major trade shows. Yet their Greenbuild booth was constructed entirely of reclaimed barn wood, a second life for a Wisconsin farm building that delicately referenced their rural beginnings in Kohler, Wisconsin. They get an A+ for creativity and sustainable design in my book. I'm not the only one who thought so; Greenbuild awarded Kohler a "Green Exhibitor Award".
The booth design is a series of themed pavilions, showcasing either a building type or an actual remodel & retrofit project. The integration of historic architecture, Kohler's fine products, and a sustainable booth design completely won me over…as if I wasn't a Kohler fan already!
The case study pavilion I found most fascinating is the Proximity Hotel in Greensboro, North Carolina. The project is a remodel and retrofit of a historic hotel that is LEED-certified and recognized as the greenest hotel in America. The Kohler faucets and fixtures specified for this project saved over 2 million gallons of water in the first year! Impressive by any standard.
I found every detail of the booth design fun to explore. Examples are the adaptive reuse of Kohler shipping palates for walkways and seating, and the seating pads made of curtain fabric recycled from an old movie theatre. Clever, inexpensive, and green ideas!
Check back for part two of this series, where I'll be showing some of the cool products I spotted at Greenbuild.

SALISBURY, Md. - The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office says a taxi driver was shot in the leg during a robbery in Salisbury.
It happened about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at Patrick and Keene avenues. Deputies say the driver had picked up three people and took them to their destination. The driver was then robbed of his tablet, cell phone and cash.
The Daily Times of Salisbury ( http://bit.ly/146YEFy) reports that after the three ran from the cab, the driver followed the suspects in his taxi. One of the suspects fired two shots at the cab, and one shot pierced the driver's side door.
The driver suffered a graze wound to his lower leg.
Deputies say the driver did not require treatment.

Having known Jonathan Kieschnick for more than 40 years, I feel that my perspective of his personal and professional character is an honest reflection. I have watched him become the man of true integrity that he is today.
Some may consider my views slightly one-sided, and that's understandable, considering I am his sister. However, I can honestly say that I have seen him at his best and his worst and truly know him inside and out.

Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview Comes to Sunshine Cinema
Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview is exactly as promised: an hour-long interview with Mr. Jobs from 1995 that was, until recently, thought to be lost to the world.
The interview was filmed as part of Robert X. Cringely's TV series, "Triumph of the Nerds" about the birth of the PC. At the time, Mr. Jobs had been ousted out of Apple for a decade and was working on NeXT (which would go on to develop the heart of the iMac's initial operating system). He spoke candidly about being pushed out of the company, early days with the Woz, and his vision for a digital future. Read More

Thsi storage box is strong, well made, and has a lot more interior space than expected. It is perfect for storing bedding - pillows and blankets, because it allows air flow and breathes well, without allowing dust to enter. It is suitable for any informal decor; it adds flair and charm to any room I love it, and will get another one if it will become available again.
I'm thinking about ordering a second one for another bedroom! This box is perfectly sized, I love that it's lined and seems to be well made. I needed a place to put our king sized comforter in and it fits perfectly, and looks nice!
I would recommed this product to friends and family. It is well build and the storage space is lined.
I love this new storage box. It hold all my throws & blankets.
I live in a small space with no linen closet, so I hold my sheets and towels in this grass storage box. I thought the box would not hold everything, but it's really deep and I am glad that I purchased this product. It also goes well for the fact I live at the beach, and looks good in my house. Great product, I have to give it a "good' star rating b/c I don't know how many years it will hold up, that being it seagrass? We will see...
Good storage for my small guest room and esthetically pleasing.
Very nice piece for storage. Lined inside. Would not use it as an ottoman. The material is very soft and porous and would snag or stain. Though I think it is fine, it is too big for my space and will go back.
This is a really nice storage basket. It is fully lined and holds a lot.
I wasn't sure how big this was going to be or even how sterdy but this has exceeded my expectations. I LOVE this chest and it fits perfect in my newly remodeled spare bedroom. The quality is well worth the price! So happy with this purchse!!!!
I purchased this to store my out of season bedding (coverlet, shams, blankets, sheet sets). It holds it all and could probably hold even more. It is sturdy, well-made, and quite attractive. I was a bit worried that my cat would like it and scratch it to pieces so I left it in my living room for a week and she never even looked at it...and she is very fond of my wicker and rattan pieces. So I think this is a home run purchase.

Ariel - famous to motorists for its skeletal Atom sports car - will start making motorbikes again in 2012.
CAR's sister publication biking bible MCN today publishes the full story of the new Ariel superbike, likely to be priced around £20,000.
Owner Simon Saunders told MCN Ariel would build the new bikes in the UK, but they would use Honda engines like the Atom sports car.
Up to 200 Ariel bikes could be built in a year. 'What we want to do is build a motorcycle that follows the principles of the cars we already build,' said Saunders. 'High performance, fun to ride and bespoke.'
Saunders bought the Ariel motorbike company in 1991, but attention switched to cars in 2001 when he set up Ariel Cars Ltd. It now employs 17 staff in Somerset.
The first Ariel bike was built in 1898 and the company went from strength to strength until it was sold to BSA in 1951. Production dwindled and was then suspended in 1967.
Saunders, however, is a fan of two wheels as much as four and has been riding since he was 16.

RE: Ariel moves from Atoms to motorbikes in 2012
I'm not a motorcyclist myself but i do love them. Would be very interesting to see Ariel's take on the sport bike although 20.000 quid is surely asking too much...

(From the January, February and March 1930 Breeder's Gazettes and general news sources of the period)
Some folks regard history as an endless series of important dates to be memorized, generally featuring leaders who were either heroes or scoundrels, but rarely a mixture of the two. Same way with time periods such as the 1920s (roaring) and the early 1930s (soup kitchen poor); that begin and end with the abruptness of a sunrise and a sunset. While there is considerable truth in both generalizations, it was not a case of black and white. Sweeping generalizations, without nuance, often just serve as an excuse for not paying attention.
I have fantasized about this sort of thing. For instance, what would be the best way to study or teach American Agricultural History for that period between the wars…1918 to 1941? How would you best capture the nuances and contradictions?
There would, of course, be a list of recommended books, representing different points of view, to be sampled, digested, approved or ignored …but with none of them weighing more than four pounds. The only arbitrary thing about it would be the four pound rule. Some authors don't know when to quit…thus the four pound rule.
The official text for the class, the only required reading, would be three good monthly or bi-weekly farm magazines from that period along with the Sunday editions of a couple big daily newspapers and a couple magazines of general interest (such as Time, Atlantic Monthly, etc.) Those publications would be considered your core resources. In so far as possible the publications would range from liberal to conservative…not be mere carbon copies of one another.
There would be none of this true-false or multiple choice stuff. If it can be graded by a machine, forget it. As for the recommended books, they would simply help on your understanding and commentary. You could probably get by without so much as even looking at some, but it wouldn't be near as much fun. Might even throw in a required book review or two as well, just to keep you honest.
Now, having unburdened myself of that splendid suggestion to history teachers at absolutely no charge, let's get at the January, February and March Breeder's Gazettes from 1930 and the general news of the day. It was a mighty unsettling time… moreso than most.
On January 5 of 1930, Joseph Stalin, the premier of the still new Soviet Union ended agriculture as generations of farmers had known it, especially in the rich farming areas such as the Ukraine. With a stroke of the pen he collectivized all Russian farms and created in their place, huge collective farms. Each peasant (Stalin's designation, certainly not theirs) was "allowed" to own a house, a garden, a stable and one milk cow. Other livestock and farm equipment became the property of the state.
It is said that thousands escaped to nearby Poland. Others went elsewhere-witness all the Ukrainian names among the draft horse breeders of Western Canada. And, a great many were given the choice between a one way ticket to Siberia or a bullet in the head. It was one of the largest forced migrations in history. The goal, it seems, was not simply to collectivize assets, but to destroy the "culture" in agriculture. Those proud people were not "eliminated" because they were failures but because they were successful…and a potential threat to Stalin's vision of the future.
It was a sorry day for both freedom and farming…and in the end, it didn't work so hot either. Stalin's timing was either pretty good or lucky in that our own economy and that of Western Europe was unravelling so fast that we had abundant concerns (both rural and urban) of our own to worry about. It is awkward to deliver lectures on fire safety when your own house is smoking.
Here at home, the 18th amendment banning alcoholic beverages was ten years old, having gone into effect at midnight, January 15, 1920. The "noble experiment," as it was sometimes called, was in deep trouble. To put the worst possible face on it, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company reported that deaths from alcoholism among its policy holders in the last year was six times the rate of ten years before. That sounds almost too bazaar. I don't know if the issuance of that report was an accident or not. Whatever the case, it appeared that it had not only failed in its purpose but the traffic in booze had created a whole new category of crimes, complete with bootleggers, graft and murder.
The situation in our Supreme Court in early 1930 was not unlike the one we have at present. In February of that year the Chief Justice, William Howard Taft, resigned…and promptly died. He must have weighed over 300 pounds, which is, I suppose, beside the point. But that is not what was churning up the water. It was the old conservative-liberal split in the Senate…not wholly unlike now or any time where an appointment to the Supreme Court is at stake.
Hoover was a conservative so he appointed one of his lodge brothers, Charles Evans Hughes. Hughes had served as an associate judge from 1910-1916. In 1916, he removed himself from the Court to run for president on the Republican ticket. Woodrow Wilson beat him by an eyelash. Hughes, meanwhile had gone on to serve as Secretary of State for both Harding and Coolidge in the early '20s.
There is a story, which may even be true, from that election that I like very much. The early returns indicated a victory for Hughes. So he retired to bed with a message that "the president elect was not to be disturbed until morning." Deep into the night a messenger arrived with the message that Wilson had squeaked through. Marvelous things, those telegraphs that could let the east coast know what the west coast was up to. The "talking wires" as the Indians called them. Anyhow, the messenger must have said, "OK, just tell him he is no longer the president elect, whenever he wakes up."
The confirmation fight in the Senate was more spirited than bitter. With a vote of 52 to 26, the Democrats knew from the git-go that it was hopeless. But it was an opportunity to sound off about a court that was already so conservative that it wore galoshes and carried an umbrella, even on a clear day.
Now this is a backward glance but the collapse of economies doesn't happen overnight. A 1928 government report had indicated that the number of U.S. incomes over one million dollars had grown by 40% in the previous year. So the growth rate of millionaires had been racing along at a record speed just two or three years prior to 1930.
In March of 1930, Mahatma Gandhi began his historic "March to the Sea" in India. Unlike ourselves when we had our revolution,Gandhi didn't attack armories operated by the crown. His game plan was not to seize British arms. His scheme was to march to the sea, picking up followers along the way, and there start a salt business in defiance of the British government's monopoly on the sale of salt. His weapon was one of civil disobedience. It was his boldest move up to that time. He must have figured that widespread disobedience was less bloody and more effective than outright defiance. A song could have been written about it entitled "Praise the Lord and pass the salt"… instead of "and pass the ammunition."
That is probably enough of grumpy, self-important old white men. Let's take a look at something beautiful for a change of pace. A 17-year-old Norwegian beauty was crowned the amateur singles ice skating champion of the world for the fourth consecutive year. She would win it six more times and in 1932 she wontheWinter Olympics as well. She was an absolute knockout, a real beauty, on or off the ice. She went on to appear in several Hollywood movies.
In 1936, she won her third gold medal at the Olympics in Berlin…the one where Adolf Hitler played the ungracious host. For 18 years she playedtheleadingrolein Hollywood's annual Ice Review as well as starring in several Hollywood movies. This great athlete, beautiful woman and a colorful character became an American citizen in 1941. She was born in Oslo, Norway, where they have lots of ice. Sonja Henie died in 1969. She died of leukemia during a flight to Oslo for treatment.
And now, on to the Breeder's Gazettes for the balance of "75 Years Ago."
Everybody makes statements that they wish to heaven they had not made. Here are two examples from 75 years ago: Hoover was a busier president than he wanted to be…in addition to calling business and farm leaders into endless sorts of councils to head off a deepening depression, he had to dispatch troops to Haiti to maintain law and order.
Part of his job was to encourage people, to be a sort of cheerleader. I suppose it was in that cheerleader role on March 7, 1930, that he let slip his comment that "prosperity is just around the corner." As things worsened in the years ahead, no one ever paid a higher price for uttering six little words of encouragement. It was like a tin can tied to a dog's tail.
Another example of an "off the cuff" remark comes to us via Jim Poole's column concerning the livestock markets in the January 1930 Gazette. He cites when the late P.D. Armour, of packing house fame, was asked to take an interest, maybe even ante up a few bucks, in the search for a cure for cholera in hogs. He declined saying, "If it wasn't for the cholera, hogs wouldn't be worth a dollar a dozen." I take it that Mr. Armour was not seriously interested in that new fangled thing called public relations.
Judging from the tone and content of the January 1930 Gazette, I don't think agriculture was in a panic mode by any means. Not yet. Their coverage of the recent International Livestock Show was as upbeat as usual, with page after page devoted to singing its praises. Although they did catch a little flak in subsequent issues for their total lack of mention of the Clydesdales, Shires, Suffolks and harness classes. A couple of offended readers vented themselves by suggesting that the Gazette had "sold out" to the Percherons. He could have said "and Belgians," because it had become pretty much a two breed paper where draft horses were concerned.
But that was small potatoes compared to the advertising battles that were being waged on the pages of those old Gazettes from 1930. The manufacturers of farm tractors were pretty well determined to put all the breeds of draft horses out of business. Take a look at these two full page ads from John Deere and International Harvester in that January issue. And bear in mind that those Gazettes were being printed on a much larger sheet. Read the fine print, especially in the McCormick Deering ad. It is worth the trouble. So far as that company (and the others, too, for that matter) was concerned there were no negotiated settlements or compromises. This was a dog-eat-dog fight to the finish.
There were also full page ads from J.I. Case, Oliver, Allis-Chalmers and Caterpillar. Some other good-sized related ads in those Gazettes were from Mobil Oil and Ethyl Gasoline…not to mention several brands of automobiles and farm trucks. In brief, the tractor interests were spending serious money with the Gazette to woo their livestock-minded subscribers to get rid of their work horses.
Let it be said that the horse interests responded with good-sized ads from the Horse Association of America and the Percheron and Belgian Associations, along with smaller ads from breeders and importers. But, in terms of dollars and space, it was a little bit like the Polish Cavalry meeting up with Hitler's Tiger tanks on the plains of Poland in 1939. Outmanned, outgunned and outspent. I would imagine that this placed not only the owners of the Gazette, with strong draft horse ties, but many others at the agricultural colleges at odds with themselves and each other.
It is time to switch to photography. Livestock Photography was a nice little niche business by then. And nobody was better at it than a skinny little guy named Charlie Belden. Arthur Johnson, editor of the Denver (Colorado) Daily Record-Stockman, appreciated him and used his rangeland pictures generously.
Our final Item from the March 1930 Gazette is the notice of the death of Fred Holbert. It started out with "Fred Holbert has passed on! These words convey a shock to the entire purebred structure."
"The entire purebred structure" -that may well sound like rhetorical overkill today. But in 1930-and basically for the whole first half of the 20th century and well into the second half there was just such a structure. It was a combination of farmer breeders and wealthy hobby-type owners with a common goal-to produce better animals for themselves, their clients and neighbors. They saw themselves as breed improvers in the endless, but generally good natured, quarrels as to which breed is best. Some fellows knew a whole lot more about the genetics of their barnyard favorites than they did about themselves or their own kids.
For a boy who grew up in an environment like that, making the livestock judging team in college was a lot like one of the local high school jocks who made it on to the traveling football or basketball squad.
Fred Holbert was sort of a "prince of the realm" in that environment. His father, A.B. Holbert had started importing stallions in 1884, just a couple years before Fred was born. By 1920 he had brought over 4,500 head to the U.S., importing as many as 500 horses a year to his complex of buildings and barns near Greeley, Iowa. He specialized in Belgians, Percherons, Shires, both French and German Coach horses and Hackneys.
His two oldest sons, Fred and Tom, often accompanied their father on his buying trips to the continent. Those kids were not globe trotting to show off–A.B. Holbert wanted his sons to know Belgium and France, to know the language (both were fluent in French), and to know how to select horses that would do in this country. The assumption seemed to be -"the boys will carry on."
A.B. Holbert died at the 1916 International Livestock Show in Chicago while presiding over the annual meeting of the German Coach Horse Association. The two oldest sons took over and were later joined by a younger brother named Ben.
In 1914, like a clap of thunder, came World War I. When the U.S. joined the allies, Fred joined the American Expeditionary Force. During the Argonne offensive he was in charge of supplying horses-for artillery and supply, certainly NOT cavalry. Machine guns and trench warfare had put an end to "charges of the light brigade"-except in the movies. He was decorated by the French government and promoted to the rank of major in our own army. At the conclusion of the war, he supervised the liquidation of some 170,000 head of horses for the American army. We weren't about to bring them home. That was a lot of horses and mules to "dispose of."
Fred served the Belgian Association in this country as president for seven years during the 1920s. In 1929, he had been decorated by King Albert of Belgium with the highest honor that could be awarded a foreigner.
He and his brother Tom were the primary authors of the Colt Club plan, whereby farmers would pool their money to buy a stallion for their own members. Via that colt club movement, the Holberts were leading players in the revival of the stallion trade in the '20s.
Fred, who had spent so much of his young life as a buyer for his father in both France and Belgium, had married a French girl during the war and they had two little girls.
He was but 44 years old at the time of his death. Many of his friends saw him for the last time at the 1929 International where the Holberts had the 1st prize group of five stallions in both the Belgian and Percheron breeds. He was not in good health. Following the show he went to a sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, and died there on January 31.
The last sentence in the Gazette obituary was "His contribution to American animal husbandry was definite and enduring."
It was, indeed, a very different world with an honest to goodness "entire purebred structure." We will never see its like again.

Intricately Carved Pristine Whitby Jet Beads
SOLDItem 11706
Whitby jet is a black fossilized wood (other theories believe it to be a form of coal or sap similar to amber) found on the Yorkshire coast of England. Matte black in color, when polished the surface takes on a lustrous sheen. Its beautiful soft texture enables jet to be intricately carved. When her beloved Albert died, Queen Victoria bought and wore masses of jet. As a result the jet trade received much publicity and entered a boom period moving far beyond simple mourning.
The hand of a master craftsman is apparent in this Victorian era necklace of twenty-seven (27) elaborately carved beads of sensuous Whitby jet. Graduated in size and strung by hand on hand-fabricated rolled gold wire (a most becoming and attractive alternative to string), this very fine jet bead necklace is in an amazingly well looked after condition. The detail on the beads has remained crisp unlike many which have become softened over time. The ends conclude with an "S" hook type clasp.
Measurements: 17-3/8 inches (44.4 cm) in length. The largest bead is 11/16 of an inch (1.7 cm) and the smallest approximately 5/16 of an inch (0.7 cm). This antique necklace has a weight of 26.8 grams (17.2 dwt).
Condition: Excellent; minor wear at the holes on a few beads.
Date & Origin: Circa 1870 - 1880 and is English in origin.
Overall Scale: Medium

Tuesday November 4th is Election Day, and there are some VERY important drug policy reform issues to vote for…or against in California.
Most importantly, vote YES on Proposition 47 to end felony sentencing for people charged with simple drug possession in California. This is our opportunity to end felonies for simple drug possession and other petty crimes in California and every vote is needed to achieve victory. From polling, we know that a huge majority of Californians support this reform, so it all comes down to whether we turn out to vote.
We are also urging you to vote NO on Proposition 46, the "Drug and Alcohol Testing of Doctors, Medical Negligence Lawsuits Initiative Statute." Of greatest concern is that Prop 46 requires drug and alcohol testing of doctors and reporting of positive test results to the California Medical Board. Additionally it requires the California Medical Board to suspend any doctor that tests positive, pending investigation of the positive test result, and to take disciplinary action if the doctor was impaired while on duty and requires doctors to report any other doctor suspected of alcohol or other drug impairment or medical negligence. Learn more about why DPA says NO on Proposition 46.
Depending on where you live in California, you have the opportunity to vote for one of our drug policy champions in the U.S. Congress, such as Reps Barbara Lee, Dana Rohrabacher, Sam Farr, or Tony Cardenas. For details see the Drug Policy Action 2014 Drug Policy Reform Congressional Voter Guide, which grades members of Congress on how they voted on seven key drug policy reform votes in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2013 and 2014.
What you Need to Know to Vote:
If you have a vote-by-mail ballot, it has to be RECEIVED by your county elections office by 8:00pm on election night, November 4. So if you plan to mail in your ballot, be sure to mail it by Friday October 31 to ensure it is received by the deadline. You can also drop off your vote-by-mail ballot in-person at your county elections office or any polling place in your county before 8:00 pm on Election Day. If you do not have a vote-by-mail ballot, vote in-person at your polling place on November 4 from 7:00am - 8:00pm. Find your polling place here.
Now it's time to cast your vote to end felony sentencing for simple drug possession, stop baseless drug testing, and support the courageous drug policy reform champions in Congress.
Please make sure your friends, your family, and everyone you know does the same! Share this page to help us spread the word and write or call your friends telling them why you support Proposition 47 and remind them to vote.
Together, we will win on Election Day!

Corn Sinks Again As Traders Worry About Oversupply
By The Associated Press
Corn futures ended sharply lower Thursday as traders worry about excess supplies of the grain.
Energy and metals prices also closed mostly lower.
Corn for May delivery fell 11.5 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $6.30 a bushel.Wheat fell 2.5 cents to $6.94 a bushel and soybeans fell 8.25 cents to $13.72 a bushel. Corn has been falling sharply since last week, when the Agriculture Department reported that the country's corn stocks were far higher than the market expected. The U.S.D.A. said in its quarterly grains report that corn stocks totaled 5.4 billion bushels as of the beginning of March, and that farmers intend to plant the most corn in nearly 80 years. Corn closed at $7.33 a bushel March 27, the day before the report came out. "The corn market has been in dire straits since the stocks report came out," said Sterling Smith, a vice president with Citibank Institutional Client Group. Crude oil fell as an increase in the number of people seeking unemployment aid raised concerns about energy demand. Oil fell $1.19 to finish at $93.26 a barrel. That makes a two-day drop of $3.93, or 4 percent. Wholesale gasoline futures fell 2 cents to end at $2.90 a gallon and have dropped about 7 percent so far this week. In other energy trading, heating oil fell 4 cents to end at $2.96 a gallon and natural gas rose 5 cents to finish at $3.95 per 1,000 cubic feet. In metals trading: â¿¿ April gold fell $1 to $1,551.80 an ounce â¿¿ May silver fell 3 cents to $26.767 an ounce â¿¿ May copper rose 1.85 cents to $3.3515 a pound â¿¿ July platinum fell $24.10 to $1,517.80 an ounce â¿¿ June palladium fell $30 to $725.45 an ounce.

Has anyone else experienced a cracked 1/4 turn Brasscraft angle valve in recent months? Mine is a 1/2" inlet X 3/8" outlet Mod. #G2R17X C1. After a year of service, the inlet portion of the valve cracked and has sprung a leak.
Someone over tightened it. Buy a new one and use teflon pipe dope not tape this time.
I installed two of these about a year and a half ago on a bath sink. I had to replace the hot supply about 9 months ago. Just replaced the cold supply today (Sunday!). Both cracked. Installed with teflon tape and never overtighten. I've replaced a bunch of valves in my time and it's extremely rare to incur a cracked valve, much less two. Must be the cheap material they are using in China.
These are rentals properties by the by.
You are the first to respond to my post that incurred a similar problem with cracked Brasscraft angle valves. Three of these cracked on me about 18 months after installation by a professional plumber causing leakage and damage. Unknown to me, my remodel contractor installed 9 of these which have all been changed. They were all stamped with TK09, which I believe is a Brasscraft date code. I sent one cracked one and two uncracked ones back to Brasscraft in Dec. 2011 and they opened a claim number. They promised me test results, but after repeated requests, they have reported nothing. I sure would like to know more about these faulty valves, but Brasscraft has been less than forthcoming. They really have caused me grief and my neighbor underneath too.
Those valves may have been "no-lead" & because of the lack of lead the brass is now brittle. I believe the manufacturers are addressing this on their web sites; about tightening the use of non-marring wrenches or pliers so as to not accidentally "score" the brass product. The KT Brasscraft 1/4 turn valves have been snapping off the handles here in West Texas just from "hard water"
Please file it with the BBB. I use the BBB to screen companies for new electronics and when I'm making home purchases. If you post on there people will see it, and the company will need to give you a resolution. They may be awful and just mechanical failure but if you post it and others post it there's a record of it and you can see how bad it is. It's one of the only ways of keeping a company honest about faulty products.

(KTSF by Hellas Leung)
Residents in the Excelsior and Chinatown were four times more likely to be uninsured, compared to the average San Franciscan, according to the Chinese Progressive Association.
The association released a new report revealing the need for healthcare services in immigrant communities. The report shows that more than half of the Excelsior respondents, and almost three-fourths of Chinatown respondents depend on government or publicly – funded insurance.
Proximity to home, insurance coverage, as well as language and culture play important roles in how residents choose their particular healthcare provider. Moreover, many residents in Excelsior and Chinatown rely on public transportation to access their healthcare provider.
The CPA chose to survey the Excelsior because of the large population of working class families and a lack of health providers in the Southeast section of the City.
Chinatown was surveyed because of CPA's existing work in the neighborhood, and also the language, cultural, and generational barriers prevalent in the community.
Regarding the quality of healthcare to all San Franciscans, the association says the existing services are insufficient.

Fear as Clearcast appoints Hogarth
Clearcast has hired the WPP subsidiary Hogarth Worldwide to provide its new copy clearance system, prompting concern from rival agency groups over a potential breach of confidentiality on forthcoming campaigns.
Mundy: 'Our new system will deliver an improved experience for users'
The contract moves from the independent company Adstream and has led to worries that WPP could get access to privileged information.
Andrew Edwards, the chairman and chief executive of Leo Burnett Group, said: "It seems strange this has gone to a network-owned company. I think this is a mistake and Clearcast should seriously consider partnering with an independent company."
Chris Mundy, the managing director of Clearcast, said that he had ensured security measures were in place that would guarantee the confidentiality of copy being sent to it for approval. But Edwards argued: "Things slip up and people talk."
Hogarth won the contract to provide the copy clearance system after a nine-month pitch. CopyCentral will gradually replace the existing Adway system over the coming months. Mundy said that Hogarth had won the contract because it had demonstrated that it was able to "outreach its ongoing requirements".
He added: "Our new system will deliver an improved experience for users and help us deliver our mission to make it easier to get ads on air."
Paul Bainsfair, the director-general of the IPA, said that he was seeking "a cast-iron guarantee" from Clearcast that all material will be treated with total confidentiality.
The copy clearance system is used by agencies to upload scripts and commercials, by Clearcast to clear them, and for broadcasters to check that they are approved.
