McGeechan rules out official Lions role
ESPN Staff
October 16, 2012
Sir Ian McGeechan will be in Australia as a supporter next summer © Getty Images
Sir Ian McGeechan has ruled out any official role with the 2013 British & Irish Lions but will be on hand to offer advice if coach Warren Gatland requires it.
McGeechan, who has served as the Lions' head coach on four previous tours - in 1989, 1993, 1997 - and took charge of the midweek side in 2005, is widely regarded as being synonymous with the historic touring side. The 65-year-old also knows better than most what it takes to come away from the southern hemisphere with a series win having guided the Lions to victory in Australia 1989 and South Africa in 1997.
That latter triumph over the Springboks was the last time the Lions returned home with a series victory and despite his continued passion for the side, McGeechan will not take on an official role in 2013. But Gatland may still call on McGeechan's advice having acted as forwards coach for the tour back in 2009.
"I'll be there for advice and support and I'll be over there but watching," McGeechan told Sky Sports News. "I was happy at the end of 2009 that as a head coach, that was it. Inside, I felt unfinished business after 2005 so it was great to have that opportunity to be involved in 2009.
"But come the end of that tour and finishing with the way we won in Jo'burg that was fine for me. I was comfortable to see that as my last role as a head coach."

First, everyone fears that they will hear something about themselves that is negative. Some do not want to face up to or admit to anything they may have done wrong. If they are already feeling guilty about their past behavior, they may expect they will be unjustly blamed or misunderstood or humiliated. Sometimes discussions about family dynamics elicit angry outbursts or lead to an emotional cut off or the silent treatment. Some may even lead to violence.
All of this is true. Surprisingly, however, an even bigger factor in many folks' reluctance to discuss their relationship patterns is that family members worry that their thoughts and feelings about the other person will hurt that other person's feelings. They fear that the Other cannot handle the truth because of intrinsic weaknesses, or that the truth might lead to an exacerbation of the Other's tendency to drink too much or to become depressed or even suicidal.
This reason for avoiding saying what you believe in order to avoid hurting others is part of what I refer to as the protection racket.
On the other hand, a family member might worry that a flat refusal to discuss a problem when pressed by another family member may seem rude or inconsiderate. So in response, people have developed a whole repertoire of behaviors designed to very subtly get out of such discussions without appearing to have even done so. Some of these strategies are so subtle that the other person often does not even realize that the discussion has been completely derailed and redirected toward a more benign-sounding subject than the one the original complainer had in mind.
This brings up another important problem about such conversations: the original complainers may dread such discussions themselves. They may have spent weeks building up the nerve to bring up the complaint, and are subconsciously relieved when the discussion is derailed by the Other. They therefore cooperate with the other family member's ruse. To prevent this from happening, those bringing up a problem for discussion have to remind themselves that, despite their discomfort, the problem really does need to be effectively and directly addressed.

Very big, Very powerful. the suspension is really really stiff and does not give you the most comfterbal ride but thats expected from a 3/4 ton truck. the Hemi motor responds well and gives me plenty of power. I average 12 mpg and haul 3000lbs of stone with ease. this truck is a bit much for what my vehical requirements are but "I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it" overall its a well built truck.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican Tommy Thompson and Democrat Tammy Baldwin sparred over their reactions to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and their approach to Iran in their final debate Friday in the race to fill Wisconsin's open U.S. Senate seat.
Seated next to each other at a round table at the Marquette University Law School, Thompson and Baldwin — who polls show are in a dead heat to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl — forcefully disagreed with one another during the hour-long debate, especially over their recent campaign ads dealing with Sept. 11.
Thompson first raised the issue with an ad that began airing Tuesday blasting Baldwin's 2006 vote against a resolution honoring the victims. Baldwin voted nine other times for resolutions honoring the victims and worked on passing a bill providing money for health care for first responders.
"I am outraged that Tommy Thompson would question my patriotism," Baldwin said.
Thompson, who described being at ground zero in the days after the attacks in his role as U.S. health secretary under President George W. Bush, said he wasn't questioning Baldwin's patriotism.
"I questioned her judgment," he said.
Baldwin was one of 22 members of the U.S. House who voted against the 2006 resolution. She said at the time and during the campaign that she voted against it because it also included endorsements of Republican policies she opposed, including the Patriot Act.
Baldwin ran an ad this week in response saying Thompson personally profited from the attacks by making $3 million from a health care firm he led that scored a government contract to treat first responders.
"He has personally profited from 9/11 and now he is trying to politically profit from 9/11," she said during the debate.
Earlier on Friday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said it would be an embarrassment if Baldwin won, and praised Thompson's work as health secretary in the wake of the attacks.
"For Tammy Baldwin to attack him on anything related to Sept. 11 is so hypocritical, she should be ashamed of herself," Giuliani said.
In a conference call organized by the Baldwin campaign, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said Thompson's ad was a shameful misappropriation of a "sacred" memory in the nation's history. He said Thompson's decision to run the ad was a poor reflection on his character, and he called on Thompson to pull the spot.
Relatives of victims of the attacks and first responders also sent letters to Thompson on Friday asking him to remove his ad.

According to the CDC, good dental hygiene is needed to help prevent gingivitis, which can also occur during pregnancy. The Connecticut Health Foundation (CHF) shows women who are pregnant need to be more conscious about their oral health, according to the Public News Service.Researchers discovered that those who are expecting take less care of their dental health during their pregnancy than both before and after. Joanna Douglass, oral health consultant for the CHF, told the website that new moms are "potentially leery about getting dental care."The CHF is putting forth $5.4 million over the next six years to help pregnant women and children who cannot afford dental care receive the services they need.Douglass says the main reason the investment will focus toward these women and children up to age 5 is because decay caused during a pregnancy can be passed onto the fetus and "pregnant women's oral health can have a profound influence on the child's oral health."One way pregnant women can prevent oral problems is by finding affordable low-cost care. Discount dental plans provide inexpensive services to these individuals and their families.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

RG, I think the software just isn't there yet. It seems like all the mechanical bits would be there, they just need to remap the programming I think.
They also say that the AS2000 servos are not up to the task of the AS3X system that you need to use their new servos as they can handle the many many micro adjustments.
Almost sold my Stryker, decided to go ahead and keep it. Even had it listed in the classifieds for a bit!

They would have to pull my Stryker from my dead body! It's in my top 3 favorite airplanes.... I agree with you, it's only software, so eventually, we will get something to fly a wing... Just have to wait a little longer I guess.
I knew about the servos, it's in my FAQ since day one. Funilly, today, Mike (from HH) did say AGAIN that using the old servos is a sure way to get a failure quickly. And I trust him! Until now, I would have been tempted to give it a shot anyway, even if I knew the risk. Oh well, I'm sure I'll break some foam soon enough and get a stash of those new servos anyway!

Put the Elevator up front and you can fly without the Elevon mix
|Jan 19, 2012, 07:21 AM
Making it a canard would preven t stalling which is not a problem now, ellevon mix is not an issue except for a very few who had transmitter / receiver issues.
I have flown flying wings and deltas since the mid seventies when mechanical mixers were required . I almost wet my pants with excitement and joy when electric mixers become available and I seem to remember shouting something like No F.....Way when elevon mixing was added to the transmitter.
Really the Stryker 180 is so easy to setup( what setup) so easy to launch and fly , is a slice of pie easy to land I fail to see why some want AS3X but then I have not flow a Beast 3D either much less in a 20MPH wind.
Too canard or not too canard?. I think canards are cool looking and flew one back in the mid nineties. Love the Beachcraft Starship and would have an RC one if I was not such a lazy old coot when it comes to building these days. ARFs , BNF , have ruined me.
If one converted a S 180 to a canard the task of getting it rebalanced would be huge most likely as many say their's is , was nose heavy to start off.
FYI From the box mine balances perfetly with OEM LiPoly in the center of the slot and also with Hyp.180 at rear of slot only a Hyp.240 makes it ever so slightly nose heavy.

Both my original airframe the replacement airframe were extremely nose heavy. There was NO WAY to get them balanced at the recommended CG point without balast and removing the middle brace between the battery and board to move the battery as rearward as possible. This needed to be done both with the OEM and hyperion batteries.
That is my only complaint about this UM, needed serious work to get it balanced correctly out of the box.
|Jan 19, 2012, 07:58 AM
I too am very happy with mine as standard! The Canard was just an option available so that it does not need elevon mixing, therefore is AS3X compatible
True some people say their 180's are nose heavy, adding a canard would enable the CG to move to the leading edge of the mainwing (obviously depending on the final design) so should not be an issue if planned correctly.

I lost a servo cover the other day. Must have popped off in flight. £6 incl. P&P from ebay for the PKZU2253 servo set, ouch! So, the set has arrived but with only 3 covers not 4. Packet looks like it may have been opened and one taken out. I suspect the seller is pulling a fast one. Anyway, I've emailed them to see what they say.
I really wish PZ UK would allow people to by parts direct from them. Their dealers can't seem to be bothered to hold spares in stock, so forget walking into a LHS to buy parts, you'll have to wait for them to order them, or you can pay the inflated prices on ebay.
Not good enough PZ UK.

Rampage: Total Destruction

I give the game a 9 due to my favoritism, though I should point out a small number of disappointments I saw.
The first, was the minute selection of powers. Each character gets the same four powers as every other making the power collecting quite dull.
The second being lack of areas. In the original Rampage there were 50 states to conquer and plenty levels in each state. In this there are very few areas to go through, however; each level has it's own boss which is a small condolence for the lack of areas.
There is, however; a pleasing aspect I noticed. That is, there are more characters than any other Rampage game I've played, making collecting the actual characters and powering them up the main challenge of the game.
The 3D effect makes it a big more interesting as well as in this addition you can climb the front AND sides of the building in stead of just the sides making the buildings a bit more challenging to destroy.
All in all, I still believe this game deserves a 9 even through the lack of challenges faced in the game.
This game brings back old memories.

You still smash buildings, wreck vehicles, and eat people. They added in new enemy bosses at the end of each city and included 30 monsters for you to play as. You start with a few monsters at the beginning and unlock the rest during your city destruction. There are also bonus rewards in each section of the city which unlock new special moves for the current monster or give you a 5,000 point bonus.
The only part about this game that keeps it from being great is the fact that it gets boring too fast. There are lots of monsters and special moves to unlock, but you'll find that each monster plays the same as every other monster and that they all even have the same four special moves. Each monster has different stats for punch, kick, etc, which make them play slightly different, but that isn't enough to get rid of the repetitiveness of the game.
Multi-player is where this game shines. You can take along a friend in the campaign mode, or take up to three others in King of the City or King of the World modes. King of the City and King of the World pits you up against your friends to be the one with the most points at the end. There is also a time-attack mode where you and up to three others try to destroy the city before time runs out. You can even set the other monsters to be controlled by the computer AI, which does a very good job.
I give this game a 7. Mindless destruction is always a good time.

Rampage takes the old school 2D game, and implements a 3D environment. It does take a little while to get use to climbing buildings. Its often easier to climb buildings from the front, rather then the original climbing on the side of the buildings.
The game has the three main characters; Ralph, Lizzy, and George. The game also has about 25 characters that you can unlock!
Overall its a game worth a rent. Where else can you just run around, eat people, destroy buildings, and take on aliens and the military?
Graphics: 7 <-- Nice 3D graphics with 2D game play
Controls: 7 <-- Hardest part to get use to is climbing builds. But can be mastered after a couple levels.
Sound: 8 <-- Good Sound effects
Fun Factor: 8 <-- 25 Unlock able characters as well as hours of destroying cities!

Feeding America Report: Reliance on Emergency Food Increasing
By Robin Stephenson
Electricity, rent, or food on the table to feed your kids? This choice is a game of poverty roulette that families like Jim and Christina Dreier grapple with each month and it isn't fun.
The Dreiers and their three children live in Mitchel County, Iowa. Like many families, they use a patchwork of assistance – WIC, SNAP (food stamps), and the food bank – to make it through the month. Jim Dreier works two jobs, but that is not enough.
"It's rough every day. Where's my next meal going to come from?" asks Christina.
Reading the Dreier's story in a National Geographic article, "The New Face of Hunger," one gets the impression that this is a family that lives on the edge of catastrophe. It's a life of fear and worry as they are always one step behind.
"Moneywise," says Christina, "coming in is a lot less than what has to go out every month."
The Dreiers are food insecure – a term that describes households that do not have enough food in a given year. And they are not an anomaly. The shocking truth is food insecurity is epidemic in America. A job is no longer insulation from poverty and hunger.
According to a report released this week by Feeding America, one of Bread for the World's partner organizations, one in seven people - 46.5 million Americans a year- rely on food banks to feed themselves and their families. Over half of the households included at least one person who was employed.
In the past, a trip to the food bank was an emergency situation that followed a job loss or financial crisis. Today, food insecurity is a chronic condition for too many Americans. But instead of helping low-income families, policy proposals in Congress appear to be working against them.
Earlier this year, the House passed the fiscal year 2015 House budget proposal, which makes deep cuts to programs for hungry and poor people in the United States, including cutting food stamps by $125 billion. Just last month, the House voted to reduce the child tax credit to the most vulnerable families, which would push an estimated 12 million people into deeper poverty.
A job that pays a living wage, not an emergency food box, is the only real buffer against hunger. Yet wages have not kept pace with economic productivity since 1950. Today, 28 percent of Americans make poverty level wages. A vote to raise the minimum wage failed earlier this year in the Senate.
It is time for Congress and the administration to set a plan to end hunger in the United States. Churches and charities can only provide a fraction of what is needed and cannot adequately address the root causes of poverty. The status quo is not ending hunger in America; policy targeted at ending hunger needs an overhaul.
We will never food bank our way out of hunger, so let's stop trying. We also need the government to do its part.

Protecting Pregnant Woman in the Work Place
Barbie Izquierdo and her son Aiden (Bread for the World).
Childbearing should not result in hunger. But when policies do not protect pregnant workers from job loss, they can experience a "poverty spell."
In a letter to Congress last week, Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, urged passage of legislation that would protect pregnant women in the work place. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (H.R. 1975/S.942) would protect pregnant workers from job loss so they can continue to feed their families.
Without work-place protection, Hilda Guzzman suffered health complications during her pregnancy. She told her story to The National Women's Law Center. Refused by her employer the accommodation of a simple stool, Hilda was left standing eight to 10 hours a day in her position as a cashier. The toll on her body and her unborn child resulted in frequent visits to the emergency room and eventually the loss of her job. "During this time away from work, I had no paid leave or any other income," she wrote.
America's poverty-wage workforce is predominately female. The 2014 Hunger Report: Ending Hunger in America points out that women are already disadvantaged in the workforce. Improving job quality is one step toward ending hunger in America by 2030 and will require leadership at the federal level.
July 31, 2014
Dear Members of Congress:
As an organization dedicated to ending hunger, Bread for the World urges you to support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (H.R. 1975/S.942). We cannot end hunger through our nutrition programs alone. Hunger will persist as long as families lack the resources they need to put food on the table. The best pathway out of poverty is a good job. That is why the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is so important. This bill would not only promote nondiscrimination in the workplace, but would ensure that pregnant workers can continue to feed their families by providing protection from unreasonable job loss and denial of sufficient accommodation at work.
Three-quarters of women entering the workforce will be pregnant and employed at some point in time. Many pregnant women, particularly those in physically strenuous jobs, inevitably face a conflict between their responsibilities at work and the physical demands of pregnancy. Despite existing protections, pregnant workers are often unnecessarily terminated from their jobs or denied minor modifications that would allow them to continue working during and after their pregnancy.
This is unacceptable; a choice between working under unhealthy conditions and risking the loss of a job is no choice at all. We are deeply concerned that this population is disproportionately at risk for slipping into poverty; 28.9 percent of pregnant and postpartum women in the United States receive WIC, all of whom have incomes below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. Today, having a baby is one of the leading causes of a "poverty spell." Allowing a pregnant woman to continue working could ensure that she is able to feed her family and meet basic needs without risking her own health or the health of her child.
Pregnant workers carrying God's children should be celebrated—not punished. Employers must recognize the physical demands of pregnancy and make reasonable accommodations so that no pregnant worker should feel she has to sacrifice her pregnancy or her income. Please support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.
David Beckmann
President, Bread for the World

Summer Vacation Means—for Some—Meals Missed
By Kimberly Burge
Kids out of school. Unstructured days. For many people, summer vacation elicits memories and a picture of freedom and carefree times. For children who depend on food assistance at lunch during the school year, summer vacation can also bring hunger.
Of the 20.6 million schoolchildren receiving food assistance at lunch, 18 million do not receive summer meals. While there are 99,000 schools operating the National School Lunch Program, only 35,500 Summer Food Service Program sites operate nationwide. That leaves a critical gap for too many months of the year. To read more about summer hunger from the PBS Newshour, see "Why summer is the hungriest season for some U.S. kids."
Children also continue to struggle in poverty. Last week, the Annie E. Casey Foundation released the 25th edition of Kids Count, an annual report that features the latest data on child well-being for every state, the District of Columbia and the nation. The report found that 22 percent of U.S. children currently live in poverty. That number has grown in recent years, due to the economic recession and the weak labor market, especially for those without a college or high school degree.
From 1990 to 2000, the official child poverty rate had declined from 21 percent to 16 percent. The robust economy contributed to that drop. But, Kids Count finds, so did an expansion of policies designed to "make work pay"—things like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and food stamps (SNAP), important programs for which Bread members advocate, along with child care subsidies and health insurance for children. According to the report, "[These] policies supplemented low wages and reduced work expenses, contributing to the decline in child poverty. However, these gains began to unravel in the early 2000s because of a lackluster economy."
You can read the findings from Kids Count and see where your state falls in child poverty rates here.

House Votes to Push Millions Into Deeper Poverty
The annual KIDS COUNT Data Book by the Anne E. Casey Foundation shows that child poverty in the United States is on the rise. (Rick Reinhard)
In a disturbing trend that prioritizes the wealthy over the most vulnerable Americans, the House today passed H.R. 4935 by a vote of 237 to 171. Bread has dubbed it the "reverse Robin Hood" bill, which takes from the poor to give to the rich. The bill could push 12 million people—including 6 million kids--into poverty or deeper poverty while giving a tax break to households making $150,000 to $205,000.
In a media statement today, Bread for the World president, Rev. David Beckmann said, "It is unacceptable that we are one of the wealthiest countries in the world and have one of the highest child poverty rates among developed countries. Our policies should help lower-income working families climb out of poverty - not push them deeper into it."
We do not expect the Senate to take up the Child Tax Credit Improvement Act of 2014. Instead, the bill, which does not extend critical improvements to the child tax credit for millions of low-income working families, could be considered as part of a tax extenders bill after the November mid-term elections. Tax credits, like the child tax credit (CTC) and the earned income tax credit (EITC), keep more people – including children – out of poverty each year than any other federal anti-hunger program.
Although H.R. 4935 passed, 173 members of Congress still opposed the bill, thanks to the calls Bread for the World's anti-hunger advocates made to their representatives – including hundreds of calls this morning! Bread is calling for any final bill on the child tax credit to include the 2009 improvements, which enable more low-income working families to receive a larger credit. Your advocacy helped build momentum and educate lawmakers that this is an issue the faith community cares about.
In 2009, Congress made the CTC available to low-income working families, enabling them to begin to receive part of the credit once earnings reached $3,000. Under the recent House-passed bill, a single mother with two children who works full-time at the minimum wage (earning about $14,500 a year) would completely lose her CTC of $1,725.
Bread for the World has long championed refundable tax credits as a way to reduce hunger in America and will continue to do so. We encourage advocates to bring up the importance of tax credits with their legislators during the August recess and make hunger an election issue. We will also continue to keep advocates apprised as legislation moves forward this year and use every opportunity to restore the 2009 improvements.
Today's vote was extremely disappointing, but we should use it to energize our conviction that the direction in Washington, D.C., must change. It is time to buck the trends and make ending hunger a priority. Child poverty is far too high in the United States - in 2012, 23 percent of U.S. children lived in poor families. Congress unleashed its own version of Robin Hood on millions of children today, but we as the faith community will continue to fight for what's right.
See here how your representative voted, and read Bread for the World's press release "Bread for the World Disappointed with House Child Tax Credit Bill."

Living on the Poverty Cliff: Tianna Gaines-Turner Tells Her Story
Tianna Gaines-Turner. (Laura Elizabeth Pohl/Bread for the World)
"It's easier to build a fence at the top of a cliff than drive an ambulance to the bottom." - Art Simon in Writing Hunger into History.
By Robin Stephenson
Tianna Gaines-Turner knows something about cliffs. The working mother of three children has been climbing and falling off the poverty cliff for years.
Gaines-Turner told her story to the House Budget Committee on July 9, during the fifth War on Poverty hearing – a series of hearings exploring how to better address poverty in America. Gaines-Turner, a member of Witness to Hunger, has been the first expert witness invited to testify who lives in poverty.
"We are always trying to climb up. There is a constant climb," Gaines-Turner said of her and her husband's struggle to make ends meet with a combined income of roughly $14,000 a year. Federal benefits, such as housing assistance, medical aid, and food stamps, fill in the income gaps so that the Gaines-Turners can care for their children. All three of their kids require daily doses of asthma medicine and their twins suffer from epilepsy.
Budgeting each month in the Gaines-Turner household is a balancing act. When circumstances change, she feels the "cliff effect." A small increase in income can decrease the amount of food stamp benefits the family can receive. As she improves her circumstances, with each additional dollar earned she loses needed federal assistance. Yet, she cannot build assets and save for the future in case of hardship. "If you have savings," she says, "your caseworker says you are not eligible for programs." So when a crisis hits, like a reduction in working hours, the Gaines-Turner family slides back down the cliff, never making it to stable ground.
House Budget Committee members differ on their approach to ending poverty. There are those who believe the safety net creates dependency and those who see federal anti-poverty programs as a bridge out of poverty. Asked if she thought federal programs promoted dependency, Gaines-Turner said, "I don't think anyone ever wants to rely on federal programs. I feel like people do want to go out and get a job." Jobs, she noted, can be hard to come by depending on where you live. They also do not always pay a living wage. She went on to respond to notions that poverty was a condition of laziness. "There is not a lazy bone in my body," she said. "People put that label on us to put up a smoke screen so they don't see have to see what is really going on."
Bread for the World Institute outlined its own plan for ending hunger in America in its 2014 Hunger Report. Bread for the World's strategy stresses policies to reduce unemployment and improve the quality of jobs. It also urges support of a strong safety net, investments in people, and partnerships between community organizations and government programs.
Earlier this year, the House passed the fiscal year 2015 House budget proposal, which makes deep cuts to programs for hungry and poor people in the United States – including cutting food stamps by $125 billion.
The Gaines-Turner family, and millions of working-poor people, need Congress to build a fence at the top of the cliff by funding a strong safety net. At the same time, Congress must also craft policies that lead to living-wage jobs so that families can walk into a better future.

Why Are So Many Seniors Hungry?
Photo © Lindsay Benson Garrett/Meals on Wheels
Senior years are supposed to be "golden" years—a time when people who've worked hard their entire lives can enjoy retirement, travel, indulge in new hobbies, and play with grandchildren. Unfortunately, for many elders, senior years are hungry years.
A new Bread analysis, "Keeping the Dream Alive: Hunger by the Numbers among Older Americans," shows that from 2001 to 2011, the percentage of seniors experiencing hunger increased by an astonishing 88 percent. In 2012, the most recent year for which data is available, 2.8 million households with seniors experienced food insecurity. That same year, 3.9 million adults age 65 and older lived below the poverty line.
Why? In part, the Great Recession. Most people in this country felt the pinch of the U.S. economic downturn, but vulnerable populations, including seniors, have been especially affected. Also, seniors are less likely to ask for help than other groups—either because they don't know they're eligible for assistance, or because of the stigma around asking for it, they may not access feeding programs, such as Meals on Wheels, or federal nutrition programs, such as food stamps (SNAP).
In one of the stories in the Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning series on food stamps in America—"In Florida, a food-stamp recruiter deals with wrenching choices, focused on SNAP outreach to hungry seniors"— food stamp outreach worker Dillie Nerios bumps up against these issues in her work. The piece details one especially heartbreaking interaction between Nerios and a senior couple who lost their home and savings during the recession and are struggling to keep their heads above water, but still are hesitant to sign up for SNAP. Nerios tells them they've worked hard their entire lives, paid taxes that help fund safety net programs, and that there is no shame in asking for just a small amount of help so that they're able to afford food that will help keep them healthy and vibrant. Still, they hesitate. "It's hard to accept," the husband says.
While help may indeed be hard to accept, at a time when 30 percent of seniors who have worked their entire lives and contributed greatly to society now have to choose between feeding themselves or purchasing medication, something must change. We must work to strengthen programs that offer seniors assistance, and also erase the stigma that prevents them for asking for a helping hand, so that they can enjoy their golden years and not have to worry about putting food on the table.

Salvaging Food: Restaurants and Food Waste
[This is the first in a four-part series on salvaging food, reprinted with permission from the Bread New Mexico blog.]
The issue of household food waste has grabbed a lot of headlines in recent months, but restaurant food waste is a problem not talked about as frequently. I started putting together this blog post to highlight how the City of Santa Fe and anti-waste nonprofit Reunity Resources developed a pilot progam to convert food scraps to compost. As I was conducting research on how restaurants deal with leftover food, I came across a very interesting and comprehensive guide, put together by the National Restaurant Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture), for restaurants to donate their leftover meals to food-salvage operations.
So, I decided to look at the issue in a four-part series. Part 1 offers excerpts from the guide; part 2 will provide excerpts from a memorial passed by the New Mexico state legislature to encourage the state's public schools to donate excess food; part 3 describes how food salvage got its start in Santa Fe; and part 4 looks at the operation that turns food scraps into compost.
Here are a few excerpts from the report "Food Donation: A Restauranteur's Guide."
Food Donation
Of the many methods employed to fight the problem of hunger in America, food recovery may be one of the best because it makes use of wholesome food that would otherwise be discarded. A June 1997 study by the US. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that more than one-quarter of all food produced in the nation is wasted. The study, conducted by the USDA Economic Research Service, is the first of its kind in 20 years to examine and quantify food loss. The study found that, in 1995, about 96 billion pounds of food-or 27 percent of the 356 billion pounds of food available for human consumption in the United States-were lost at retail, consumer and foodservice levels... With little effort, [restauranteurs] can make a huge difference in the lives of children, the elderly, the home- less and even the working poor in their communities by doing something that is already second nature to most restaurant professionals-feeding people.
Rescuing Fresh Produce
Restaurateurs should begin their search for donation items by looking at the food they have in storage, such as fresh produce that will spoil before it can be used. While no one would want to eat anything that is moldy, there are many occasions when perfectly edible fruits and vegetables are thrown out because they have passed the point of restaurant quality or freshness or are discovered to have bruises or to be soft so that the produce cannot be served to customers.
Protection from Liability
One of the biggest obstacles to donating food to hunger programs has always been the prospective donor's fear of liability. However, everyone involved in the fight against hunger is now breathing easier since the passage of the Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act in October 1996. The coverage provided by this law-in combination with proper food-safety practices and thorough documentation-will go a long way toward protecting restaurants from liability in the unlikely case of a lawsuit involving donated food.

Bread for the World Letter to U.S. Senate on Smarter Sentencing Act

Today, Bread for the World President David Beckmann sent the following letter to U.S. senators, asking them to support the Smart Sentencing Act, which would alleviate costly prison overcrowding, reduce excessive sentences for low-level drug offenses, and those resentence cases subjected to mandatory minimum sentencing.
As stated in the 2014 Hunger Report, Ending Hunger in America, we cannot end hunger without confronting knottier social issues—and hunger and poverty often result from social exclusion and discrimination. Men and women who have spent time in prison often face difficulty finding jobs and feeding their families—and they are less likely to have access to social safety net programs. For example, most states restrict or ban certain returning citizens from using food stamps (SNAP).
Read the full text of the letter below.
April 24, 2014
Dear Senator:
I urge you to support S. 1410, the Smarter Sentencing Act (SSA), sponsored by Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Richard Durbin (D-IL). This bipartisan legislation, which will soon see a vote in the Senate, alleviates the costly overcrowding crisis in our prisons. It would reduce excessive sentences for low-level drug offenses and authorize judicial review for possible resentencing of cases sentenced under the old 100 to 1 crack cocaine sentencing disparity. Bread for the World calls on you to vote in favor of the bill and asks you to consider co-sponsoring the SSA. Additionally, we hope you will oppose any additional amendments that harm the bill's integrity, such ascreating mandatory sentences for other offenses.
As a Christian anti-hunger advocacy organization, we view federal policy through the lens of its impact on hunger and poverty. Hunger is often a byproduct of social exclusion and discrimination. People who have spent time in prison are more likely to face barriers to work and thus less likely to have the resources to put food on the table. The toll on families and their economic security is significant. Furthermore, outdated, overly punitive, and unnecessarily restrictive drug sentencing disproportionately and unfairly incarcerates people of color for low-level and nonviolent offenses.
Passage of the Smarter Sentencing Act would help restore fairness in our justice system. Since 1980, the federal prison population has increased by an astounding 800 percent even though crime rates are lower. Half of the people in prison are there for a drug offense. Fewer people incarcerated for nonviolent, low-level drug cases would have a marked improvement on hunger in America.
I urge you to support S. 1410, the Smarter Sentencing Act, protect it from additional harmful amendments, and consider co-sponsoring the legislation.
David Beckmann

What Does Food Insecurity Look Like in Your Community?

"I just want my kids to be fed," Jaime Grimes of Lincoln, Neb., recently told NBC News. The former teacher and mother of four visits food pantries, grows food in a community garden, and receives food stamps (SNAP); her children participate in a variety of nutrition programs, from school lunches to a backpack program that sends them home with food once a week. Still, it's not enough.
Although the effects of the Great Recession are fading for some, many families are still struggling to put food on the table. Feeding America's 2014 Map the Meal Gap report, released earlier this week, shows that food insecurity continues to touch every county in the nation, and that children are at especially great risk of experiencing hunger.
According to the report, even in the most food-secure state—which is Nebraska, where Grimes and her children live—more than 1 in 10 children struggles with hunger.
(View the map, and see the food insecurity rate in your state and county.)
"We haven't really seen increases in food insecurity [since the recession], which is a good thing. The downside of that is there are still way too many food insecure people," said Bread for the World policy analyst Christine Melendez Ashley, in the same NBC News piece.
The Map the Meal Gap report does note that federal nutrition programs and the emergency food system "weave a comprehensive nutrition safety net, reaching food-insecure individuals at different levels of poverty," Still, there is a need to "strengthen anti-hunger programs and policies to ensure food-insecure individuals are eligible and have access to adequate levels of assistance."
Some key finding from Map the Meal Gap include:
- 324 counties in the United States are high food-insecurity counties; minorities are disproportionately affected
- In every state, children are at a higher risk of food insecurity compared to the overall population.
- Of the counties with food insecurity rates in the highest 10 percent, 51.5 percent were rural, even though rural counties represent only 42.5 percent of all counties in the United States.
What does hunger look like in your community? How many people live below the SNAP threshold? What is the average cost of a meal? Whether you live in Nebraska, with its low rate of food insecurity, or Mississippi—the state with the highest number of people struggling with hunger—viewing the map reminds us of the need to advocate to strengthen our country's safety net and ensure that all are fed.

UConn Player: "We Do Have Hungry Nights"
On Monday night, the University of Connecticut won its fourth national men's basketball title—the UConn Huskies beat the Kentucky Wildcats 60-54. "You're looking at the hungry Huskies," UConn player Shabazz Napier said after the win, a reference to the team's unstoppable determination to bring home the title.
But last week, Napier used his platform as a star college basketball player to bring attention to a different kind of hunger. "Sometimes there's hungry nights when I'm not able to eat, but I still gotta play up to my capabilities," he told news reporters. "[Student athletes] are definitely blessed to get a scholarship to our universities, but, at the end of the day, that doesn't cover everything. We do have hungry nights....there are hungry nights that I go to bed and I'm starving."
Napier made the remarks after being asked his opinion of college athletes unionizing, the latest development in the ongoing debate over whether college sports players should be considered employees and receive some of the profits they help pull in for their schools. A few outlets (and a lot of their commenters and social media followers) are discussing whether it's possible for Napier to be hungry. Some have pointed out that he has a meal plan as part of his scholarship package, and that most colleges go to great lengths to ensure their top-tier athletes are well-fueled. Others countered that student athletes who burn thousands of calories each day may require extra sustenance, and long practices and frequent road trips may mean grabbing dinner at a campus dining hall before a 7 p.m. closing time isn't always feasible.
Although Napier's story has sparked some heated debate, everyone seems to agree that no college student should ever have to worry about having enough to eat.
We've written about college hunger before. As the economy limps toward recovery, and the cost of higher education continues to skyrocket, students are increasingly seeking out food stamps (SNAP), food banks, and other community resources in order to feed themselves. While college isn't a particularly flush time for most, there's a difference between being a "broke" student subsisting on ramen noodles and iced coffee, and being a student dealing with chronic food insecurity and even homelessness.
Unfortunately, most students don't qualify for SNAP benefits, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, notes that there are quite a few exceptions. And while it's heartbreaking to think of college students needing them, food pantries that cater to students are becoming more common on campuses. Still, the fact that university students, young people seen by so many as having "made it," are facing hunger and food insecurity shows just how pervasive the problem of hunger is in this country. It also underscores the need to strengthen and expand safety net programs, so that students can focus on acing their midterms, and winning championship titles, instead of wondering where they'll find their next meal.

Orland Park Eagle project honors officer who made ultimate sacrifice

Updated: August 22, 2014 6:15AM
Orland Park Boy Scout Troop 383 Life Scout Tim Klotz comes from a long line of public servants.
He said once he knew what he wanted to do for his Eagle Scout candidate's project, people were eager to help.
"It was amazing how people jumped up," Klotz said. "All I had to say that he was a veteran, he was killed in action and that he was an Olympian."
Klotz was the master of ceremonies for the dedication ceremony of a memorial garden named after Capt. Ronald Zinn on Saturday morning at the village of Orland Park Veterans Center.
Zinn was the first person from Orland Park to make the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War.
Zinn, a Peoria native, graduated from Sandburg High School in 1957. He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1962 and represented America in the 1960 and 1964 Olympics as a race walker.
Zinn also was the first West Point cadet to compete in the Olympics.
He was killed in Vietnam on July 7, 1965, while trying to save his platoon leader.
Klotz, 14, an incoming freshman at Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, received a certification of recognition for community service from retired Army Reserve Lt. Col. James McQuillen during the ceremony. McQuillen was a West Point classmate of Zinn.
Margie Owens-Klotz, Tim's mother, was aware of the project, but she didn't realize the family ties between her family and Zinn's.
"I knew who Ron Zinn was. I had heard of him. What's amazing is the connection between the two families," Owens-Klotz said. "My uncle was a Vietnam vet. He went to school with Jerry and Joyce (Zinn's siblings). Ron Zinn's mother worked at Timmy's great-grandfather's restaurant."
John Bartosiewicz, of Burbank, the Chapter X Commander of the American Veterans Motorcycle Association, said: "Being a Vietnam vet myself, I make it a point to rally the troops and come out and support it. I feel humbled and honored to come to these types of events."
Zinn's family, along with members of the Orland Park Veterans Commission, six representatives from Zinn's West Point Class of 1962 and members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars also attended the ceremony.
The plaque was unveiled by Klotz and Zinn's siblings, Jerry and Joyce.
Klotz said he wanted the memorial to be different from others.
"I wanted to make sure there was a sign. I wanted people to see the history and see what (Zinn) did and the type of person he was."

Discussion in 'Political Discussion' started by Patradomous, Mar 7, 2012.
Let the anti ObaMao avalanche begin!
Did you see this yet?
Game Changer!
My bad I didn't see your earler thread.
My guess is that it will be footage of Obama in the same room as some controversial people, and it's being released on Hannity because it doesn't stand on its own two feet. He will put into a political context that plays into right-wing paranoia. That's his job. It's red meat for rightie time.
LOL. Based on what I read, it seems like all they had was the footage the Holy already linked to earlier. What a let down for rightie if that's the big game-changing Breitbart footage. Turns out the footage was already played by PBS a few years ago, so it wasn't even news. No wonder they released it on Hannity; they needed a spinmeister to tell rightie what to think.
They played the inedited footage P;gle tree said was hidden from the media in 2008, there are apparently more videos to come. In total they will show a person who for many years associated with many different communist and racist wherever he was.
Obama asked to open your heart and minds to Derrick Bell.
He then hugged Bell.
Who is Derrick Bell ?
He makes Jerromiah Wright look like an Alter boy !
Check out his youtube video's.
Meet Derrick Bell
Even Hannity seemed unimpressed with this.
FAIL city, USA
What is interesting is that this very same video was on PBS Frontline in 2008... the right is getting desperate.
Some of the comments from this site..
Epic Fail again...
The one I saw showed a student praising a teacher, but if we had a Chinese style Cultural Revolution Mao would agree with your take on it.
P;gle tree?? Who is that some blogger???
This video was so well hidden it was on a PBS documentary of Obama, right about the 20 minute mark.. if you want to vette him, continue on a little bit as they talk about his tenure as editor ofthe Harvard Law Review...

And we all know how much Jeremiah Wright killed Obama's campaign last time.
Obama knowing and liking some radicals 20+ years ago ???????? Omigod!!!!!!!
Face it, 13, this was lame and hilarious.
Even Foxnews.com has buried it to a tiny link at the bottom of its website this morning.
Ghost Fart.
This is just the beginning of drip,drip,drip,drip all summer.
Now if this info had came out along with Rev. Wright who Obama during the 08 campaign.I t would have certainly hurt his chances. But nooooo, the main stream media covered it up for him.
If this came out like it was supposed to. Do you think HILLARY would have lost the nomination?The ends always justify the means with these people.
Take that into contrast what the media and Dan Rather tried to do Bush with fake documents on national TV no less, and the latest fraud Sandra Flake.
The left always has to lie about who they are otherwise they would never win an issue or an election.
Remember this is the same media that goes through Sarah Palins garbage and private emails.
Hillary was robbed of the nomination I would think woman would be pissed off.
But see the politically correct hard left doesn't care because but its even better with a black being president.
Thats it, thats all there is....Only people who want to believe theres something nefarious will, and thats a small minority. Your average voter will look at this and say "wheres the Beef" in this video. Cause there ain't none.
Once again for those who choose not to read the post in the thread, this was "exposed" by PBS Frontline in 2008... and their footage even included the hug. Frontline now has even included the speech by Derrick Bell for your review..
This event was in support of an effort to bring diversity to Harvard Law School.. and to encourage more women faculty..

Pay particular attention to the second video as it gives a lot of information specific to the issue at hand..
Oh the horrors..
any facts to back this up, or just more lies from one of our righties about her? surprised you're not still throwing out the sexual slurs you and Rush started with...
