They only got one grazing from it, but David Leach and George Lake were impressed with the amount of high-quality forage produced by a new crop they tried this summer
More About:
They only got one grazing from it, but David Leach and George Lake were impressed with the amount of high-quality forage produced by a new crop they tried this summer.
"I think it's really good stuff," says Leach, a Cottage Grove, TN, dairyman.
"In a very hot, dry summer, it's done very well for me," adds Lake, owner of Thistle Creek Farms, a grass-fed beef operation near Tyrone, PA.
They planted MasterGraze, a tillering brown midrib (BMR) forage corn said to produce up to 5 tons/acre of high-energy, high-protein dry matter in 60 days. Developed by Masters Choice, Inc., Anna, IL, the corn tests up to 20% protein and its BMR trait makes it highly digestible. In addition to the main stalk, each plant has several secondary stalks that enhance yield.
Lyn Crabtree, company president, sees it primarily as a short-term pasture crop that's especially useful in double-crop situations. But he says it also can be made into silage or baleage if mowed and field-dried to the proper moisture level. It eventually makes small ears, but shouldn't be allowed to go beyond the vegetative stage because of standability concerns, says Crabtree.
Leach planted seven acres of MasterGraze in late May and turned his 100-plus milking cows into it about 40 days later when it was roughly 6' tall. He had planned to strip-graze the crop, but ended up giving his herd the whole field. They ate the leaves first, then the stalks got progressively shorter until about 6" remained after seven days of grazing.
"It looked like a field chopper came through there when they were done," says Leach.
He had planned to plant a second field to the new crop, but after his cows grazed off the first one faster than expected, he replanted it, no-tilling MasterGraze into its own stubble. He started grazing the second planting earlier than the first because the weather turned hot and the field was adjacent to a woods where the cows could get shade.
"You wouldn't see them out much in the daytime, but at night they really went to work on it," he says.
Leach didn't have the crop tested but says his herd produced 1,000 lbs more milk while grazing it. Still, he's not sure he'll plant it again next year.
"I stuck too much money in it for as quick as they ate it," he says. The seed "was 90-some dollars a bag, but you only plant two acres with a bag." He also applied 100 lbs/acre of nitrogen for the first planting, 70 lbs/acre for the second and thinks he could have gotten by with less.
He's tried sorghum-sudangrass and says there's "no comparison. That grazing corn would blow sorghum-sudan off the map. It just doesn't come back, that's the kicker."
Lake is strip grazing his 25 acres of MasterGraze, giving his beef cattle about 10' of fresh forage three times daily. Planted in late May, it was about 5' tall when he turned 150 stockers into it two months later. He expects grazing to last until late September. The remaining crop is "quite mature, but that doesn't slow them down at all, not even on the stalks," he says.
He hasn't weighed the cattle. "But I can tell by looking at the animals that they're smoothing up nicely on it, getting a little bit of tailhead fat, and what I've taken out has been marbled real well. I had them on BMR sorghum before that, so they were already on their way."
He gets three grazings from BMR sorghum, but prefers MasterGraze, in part because it can be planted earlier. He plans to plant two fields next year, the first one in April. Also, he figures this crop will grow better in cooler-than-normal summers.
"Sorghum doesn't perform well in cool weather, and I think this corn, like any other corn, would continue to grow," he says.
He planted 32,000 seeds/acre this year, but will bump that up to 35,000 in 2011, also reducing the row spacing to 15 or 20". The mature crop has a few small ears, and a denser stand likely will have fewer of them. The ears don't have fully developed kernels, but since he markets grass-fed beef, "I don't want to see anything that looks like an ear.
"That's the only con I can think of," Lake concludes. "Everything else is a pro for me on this crop. I'm excited about it, actually."

Ive got to say it was the worst present ive ever received second to a tie organiser. On first inserting the disc I was impressed at how good the presentation was as it had the perfect 24 feel to it...But then you start to play it. The game itself is a joke as you spend hours playing mini games on your remote which are nothing short of aweful. You dont even know what you are doing half the time. All this time you dont even use the board until the last phase where you have to re-play thescenes you've just done to move round the board before the other player. In terms of replayability there is none as you only get 2 stories to choose from. Just plain and utter rubbish and what's more I was unlucky enough to pay £20 for it :-( .This had so much potential but it failed badly. Steer clear.

State, City At Odds On Parent Plan

Posted to: Schools, School Reform
In a dispute that will determine whether New Haven must overhaul the way it engages parents, Superintendent Reggie Mayo said he was "shocked" to find out that the state has rejected the district's attempt to opt out of a new law requiring new parent-teacher school governance groups.
The conflict concerns how to conform to a new state law spearheaded by New Haven state Rep. Gary Holder-Winfield and the legislature's Black and Puerto Rican Caucus.
The state reviewed New Haven 23 parent-teacher groups and concluded in December that none of them satisfy the new law.
The state produced a chart of New Haven's groups and found inadequate participation by parents and teachers. For example, six schools had only one parent participating in their parent-teacher group, while the state model calls for seven. Click here to view the chart and an accompanying letter, released Wednesday through a Freedom of Information request.
The new law requires low-performing schools to create "school governance councils" made up of seven parents, five teachers and two community leaders, all elected to their posts, to advise principals on school policy. It's a lesser-noticed piece of broader education reforms that the Black and Puerto Rican Caucus pushed through the legislature in 2010.
The law included a carve-out for schools that can prove they already have "similar models" in place.
Reversing Course
At first, the state gave the city a huge exemption, OKing the use of existing parent-teacher teams instead, according to Holder-Winfield.
Holder-Winfield said authors of the bill never meant to carve out exemptions for entire school districts like New Haven. He said he was "shocked" to find out last fall that state issued an opinion giving New Haven an exemption to the law.
Based on low test scores, four New Haven schools—Hillhouse High School, Wilbur Cross High, and Hill Central Music Academy and Brennan/Rogers—landed on a short list of 14 Connecticut schools required to set up the councils by a Jan. 15 deadline last year. Schools on that list scored in the state's lowest-performing 5 percent and failed to make Average Yearly Progress in math and reading at the whole school level, as defined by the No Child Left Behind Act.
Those four schools put together councils last academic year, to varying degrees of success. A second batch of 23 New Haven schools—those that failed to make AYP in math and reading at the whole school level—were required to put governance councils in place by Nov. 1.
Those 23 never followed suit because New Haven understood that its existing groups, called School Planning and Management Teams (SPMTs), were considered "similar models" by the state, according to schools Chief Operating Officer Will Clark.
Based on that understanding, the school governance council at Wilbur Cross was disbanded after one year, and the school reverted to an SPMT model last fall, according to parents involved in the groups.
The district concluded the SPMT model would be fine with the state—until it got a surprise Dec. 22 letter from Cheryl Resha at the state Department of Education. The letter said New Haven Public Schools do not have a blanket exception to the school governance law—and that no single school has an adequate parent group in place.
To qualify for an exemption under the new bill, schools have to have "a similar school governance council model on or before July 1, 2011, that consists of parents, teachers from each grade level or subject area, administrators and paraprofessionals," her letter stated.
Resha went through 23 schools for which New Haven had sought an exemption.
All but three—Hill Central, Brennan/Rogers, and East Rock Magnet—failed the test for inadequate teacher participation. None had one teacher from each grade or one teacher from each subject level involved. All except two schools—High School in the Community and Benjamin Jepson Magnet School—had fewer than the requisite seven parents in the group.
Those criteria alone were enough to flunk the whole batch: Resha concluded no school qualified as having a "similar model" to the one outlined in the state law.
The list includes only 23 New Haven schools, while 27 were required to set up the governance councils. State spokesman Mark Linabury said New Haven sought an exemption for only those 23 schools. For example, it did not seek an exemption for Hillhouse High School, which has an active school governance council in place.
"Therefore, the schools will be expected to implement the state required School Governance Council model," Resha wrote. She gave the district until Jan. 13 to reply with "your plans and timeframe for each school to have a School Governance Council in place as required."
Firing Back
The state's rejection was met with alarm by the New Haven Public Schools central office, according to correspondence uncovered in a Freedom of Information Request.
It began with this message:
From: Canelli, Imma [firstname.lastname@example.com]
Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 6:17 PM
To: Carson, Judy
Subject: School Governance Council
Can you call me ASAP about the School Governance Council?
This is urgent. Who is Cheryl Resha?
Sent from my iPad
Canelli, the district's assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, found out that Cheryl Resha was a relatively new employee at the state Department of Education. (Resha's full title: education manager at the Bureau of Health/Nutrition, Family Services and Adult Education.)
On Jan. 13, the day the district was directed to respond with its plans to create school governance councils, Superintendent Mayo wrote a letter to Resha appealing the state's decision.
"We were shocked to receive your letter dated December 22, 2011 informing us that no New Haven Public Schools qualified for the 'similar school governance council' model pursuant to your interpretation of P.A. 11-135," his letter begins.
(Click here to read Mayo's letter.)
Mayo argued that the district had already satisfied the requirement by implementing a School Development Program school governance model designed by Dr. James Comer at the Yale Child Study Center. The district has been using the method citywide since 1976, Mayo told the state, and therefore should gain a district-wide exemption.
The Comer model is "completely integrated into the operation of most New Haven Public Schools, including schools that have been designated as 'in need of improvement,' Mayo wrote.
"Please also note that the use of the Comer model—particularly the School Planning and Management Teams (SPMTS) is specifically enumerated in New Haven's teacher's contract, and has been in place in every school in the district for decades (including at such time that any New Haven School was identified as low performing or in need of improvement)," he continued.
An SPMT is a school-based group that includes administrators, teachers, support staff, and parents, according to a definition Mayo included in his letter. The group "develops a Comprehensive School Plan, sets academic, social and community relations goals, and coordinates all school activities, including staff development programs." The team holds "critical dialogue around teaching and learning and monitors progress" to see if the plan is being followed and/ or needs to be adjusted.
Mayo conceded that "the Comer model in general, and SPMTs specifically are implemented with different degrees of integrity across the district."
However "we believe would also be the case should SGCs be put in place," Mayo wrote.
Mayo further argued that schools shouldn't be judged on a case-by-case basis; instead, the whole district should be exempt.
He argued that if individual schools failed to meet the state's requirements for SPMTs, that's a signal that the district needs to improve its current model—"not that the model employed does not meet the criteria."
For example, the state disqualified several schools because one or more members required by the school governance law were not participating in the SPMT.
Mayo said "with additional training and technical assistance," the district could solve that problem—and "improve the implementation of the Comer model across the district."
The letter was cc-ed to Stefan Pryor, Mayo's "old friend" from New Haven who now heads the state's education department.
Reached Tuesday, Judy Carson, director of school-family community partnerships for the state Department of Education, said there has been no update since Mayo's appeal.
"We are reviewing their request," she said.
"Baking Cookies" Not Enough
State Rep. Holder-Winfield (pictured), who authored the law, said it aimed to set up a new pathway for parents to take a serious role in the schools.
"What needs to happen is parents need to be involved in schools"—not just by "baking cookies," but through a role that's "integral to what's going on in this school."
"When we imagined school governance councils, we imagined creating a new relationship between parents, teachers and administrators—to look at everything that's going on in a school"—and have the power to initiate a turnaround.
Under the law, if parents and teachers on the council believe the school is failing during the council's third year, they can call for the school to be reconstituted. The decision is only a recommendation to the school board, but it would trigger a public hearing within 10 days of the vote—a measure intended to give weight to the group's input.
Holder-Winfield said in authoring the law, he specifically asked if the carve-out would allow an exemption for any entire district such as Bridgeport, Hartford or New Haven. He said he understood it would not.
"I was actually shocked to find out that there had been an opinion" by the state in the fall that New Haven could have a blanket OK to use the SPMT instead of the governance council.
"If New Haven was intending to be carved out," he said, "that should have been more transparent."
Holder-Winfield said "I'm not fighting against New Haven" at this point. He did say that if New Haven now has to start from scratch creating school governance councils, it has lost precious time in doing so. However, he said he wouldn't interfere with the decision—"it's in the state's hands now."
In a statement Wednesday afternoon, state Department of Education spokesman Mark Linabury said the state has approved waivers for only two schools statewide—Catherine C. Kolnaski Magnet School in Groton and the CREC Montessori Magnet School in Hartford.
Linabury acknowledged the city has been using Comer's School Development Program since 1976. He called it "a strong model of school governance which the State Department of Education (SDE) respects."
"However, based on the technical requirements required under current state law, we are looking into in this matter in greater detail," Linabury said. "This process is ongoing."
Linabury downplayed the dispute: "We're working with the district and researching this further."
Hillhouse On Track
The state's decision might create more disruptions for one parent group in New Haven that has already been disbanded, reconstituted, disbanded and reconstituted again. Wilbur Cross High School did away with its SPMT in order to create a school governance council last year. Then this fall, it did away with the school governance council and revived the SPMT.
Wilbur Cross mom Kelly Barrick, who sits on the school's SPMT, said the newly revived group is "making more progress" than the short-lived governance council. Teachers are more familiar with the SPMT, she said, "so there's more involvement from the teachers."
Hillhouse High appears to be the only school going full-steam with the new model. Parent and former Alderwoman Michelle Edmonds-Sepulveda said the school governance council, which was created last year, continues to meet monthly.
In an interview Tuesday, New Haven Board of Ed COO Clark said he didn't know the present state of the other two councils that were set up at Brennan/Rogers and Hill Central.
Clark said instead of taking a "broad stroke approach," the state should consider whether alternative models might work best in a given district. He said New Haven has a long-running commitment to the SPMT groups, which have been included in the teachers' contract for "well over a decade."
If there are flaws with individual SPMTs, he said, "That's not a reason to scrap them. It may be a reason to reinvigorate them."

In New Haven's Comer model, participating parents are selected by the principal not elected by other parents. This means parents who "fall in line" will be selected and no real change in attitude or direction will take place. It is a complete farce and has alienated several very involved parents that I know. The law had good intentions and New Haven once again is trying to only give the appearance of parental engagement. Real engagement will never occur under the current regime.

"trainspotter" has it exactly correct.
This is just another example of obfuscate and deny from NHPS ed executives.
When I hear Mayo and Clark talk about "more training" and "reinvigorate," I hear more consultants and administrative costs—or more money that never reaches the classroom.
Teachers do not need more training, consultants, and obsequious administrators beholden to upper management.
Parents and teachers need to work together to facilitate our children's learning.
This is precisely what NHPS managers do not want—a productive union of parents and teachers. As long as the public hears that teachers are to are blaming teachers instead of examining the abject failure of NHPS management.
I know this sounds harsh. I wish it were not so.

- OR - Select an option belowThis Coral Springs rib joint from Iron Maiden drummer and South Florida resident Nicko McBrain feels just about as close to a backyard barbecue as you can get in a restaurant. The food isn't exactly Memphis-style barbecue; rather, it tastes like what you might whip up with some friends huddled around a Webber grill. Ribs are the fall-off-the-bone variety, wet and sweet with sticky barbecue sauce that will leave your fingers tacking to the sides of your beer bottle. Pork and beef brisket are each smoky and firmer in texture and taste amazing on a sandwich made with Texas toast and slathered with creamy coleslaw. Rock 'N' Roll Ribs' prices are cheap, service is friendly and pierced, and metal from the likes of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest streams constantly throughout the day.

text: I bought a few juices from TV and noticed that the Doublers don't have the same flavor as the ones containing nic. Is this "normal" for the doublers? I would assume TV mixes everything at once when they fill the order, and then adds nic to the bottle that requires it. Is this how it's done? I guess I just don't understand why the taste difference. By the way, even the samplers are more intense flavor-wise than what I received through a normal order.

Volvo FL
No matter the assignment – when it comes to city distribution, the Volvo FL will get the job done. On time, every time. The trucks' efficiency and reliability rests upon the FL driveline – a combination of fuel-efficient Volvo engines and the best gearboxes available, all fitted to your specific requirements.
The strict European exhaust standards for diesel engines are set to regulate the amount of pollutants. The latest update, the Euro 6 standard, demands a severe reduction compared to its predecessor, Euro 5, sometimes by as much as 75%. Volvo Trucks' solution to the challenge is to refine the selective catalyst reduction (SCR) technology by adding a water-cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system to the engine. Both engines available for the Volvo FL range have been meticulously constructed to comply with Euro 6 – without losing power or torque or dramatically increasing fuel consumption. A win-win situation. For the drivers as well as for the environment. Learn more about the engines
Both Volvo FL engines are developed and constructed by Volvo. Both engines feature impressive power and torque as well as an after-treatment system that'll stand up to the strictest regulation standards. Furthermore the engines are equipped with features such as the closed crankcase ventilation, minimizing oil spillage, a variable geometry turbo allowing the engine's turbo to be altered depending on conditions. Read more about engine efficiency
Euro 6 demands a lot, both from engines and from service personnel. However, the strict exhaust and emission demands won't lead to any changes in the service intervals when comparing with earlier legislation demands. The maintenance requirements for the Volvo FL Euro 6 engines remain the same.
With the Volvo FL's automated 6-gear I-Sync transmission (available in two variants, both for the D5K and the D8K) you'll be able to experience an even easier way of getting things done. The I-Sync provides you with the luxury of operating your gearchanges with no clutch pedal necessary thus making that inner city traffic, with the frequent starts and stops a walk in the park. Tailored for inner city distribution, optimised for your comfort. Learn more about the I-Sync

Gold Rush defeat Belhaven 64-55 in overtime
December 30, 2013
Box score
JACKSON, Miss. — Morris Wright scored 20 points Monday, and Wesley Pluviose-Philip had career highs of 14 points and 11 rebounds in Xavier University of Louisiana's 64-55 overtime men's basketball victory against Belhaven.
The Gold Rush (10-4), ranked 25th in NAIA Division I, won for the fifth time in six games. Xavier has won both its overtime games this season.
Wright's layup with 54 seconds remaining in regulation tied the score at 54 and forced overtime. Xavier outscored the Blazers 10-1 in the extra period, with Wright and Lucas Martin-Julien collecting four points apiece. The Gold Rush scored the first eight points of overtime, and the Blazers scored their lone point on a free throw with 32 seconds remaining.
Wright scored in double figures for the 11th time this season and reached 20 points for the second time. The double-double was the first at Xavier for Pluviose-Philip, a redshirt freshman. It was the first time that Pluviose-Philip scored in double figures.
Sydney Coleman had 14 points and six rebounds for the Gold Rush. Coleman scored in double figures for a team-leading 12th time this season.
Jordan Bedford had 15 points and 10 points for Belhaven (4-7), and Datodrick Pinkston scored 12 points.
Xavier trailed 12-3 through 6½ minutes before rallying for a halftime tie at 25. Wright made 3-of-4 3-pointers in the first half.
Xavier will travel to Nashville, Tenn., for a 5 p.m. game Saturday at Fisk. It will be the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference opener for both. Xavier is the two-time defending GCAC regular-season champion.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.
--George Orwell, 1984
In media commentary on the Smithsonian Institute's proposed display of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, words were often turned on their heads: Because the proposed exhibit contained more than one viewpoint on the bombing, it was called "one-sided"; because it relied on contemporary documents rather than later apologetics, it was called "revisionist"; because it didn't strictly adhere to the official version of history, it was called "politically correct."
The planned exhibit showed how "elite American museums, like the universities, have fallen to the forces of political correctness and historical revisionism," Charles Krauthammer wrote in the Washington Post (8/19/94). The Enola Gay should be displayed without comment, Krauthammer proposed, in "silent reverence." Krauthammer will have his way: Backing down under pressure, the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum has announced that it will exhibit the plane without even mentioning the thousands of civilians who died from the atomic bombings.
The planned exhibit was often condemned as bad history, although evidence was rarely offered to contradict the Smithsonian's proposals. A Houston Chronicle editorial (1/28/95) scoffed that the Smithsonian exhibit would "gag a real historian," citing the museum's estimate that "only about 65,000 American troops would have been killed, not the 225,000-plus estimated by U.S. military leaders."
The Cincinnati Enquirer (9/15/94) stated flatly that "500,000 American lives...would have been lost in an invasion." The Houston Post (9/3/94),which accused the Smithsonian of attempting "an outrageous distortion of history," cited "estimates that an invasion of Japan would have cost a million U.S. casualties."
In fact, the actual planners of the invasion estimated that in a worst-case scenario, 46,000 U.S. troops would have died, according to declassified 1945 documents from the Joint War Planning Committee (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 6-7/86). Much higher numbers were later put forward by officials involved with the bombing decision, but without documentary evidence; these numbers are hardly credible, since the planned U.S. invasion force was only scheduled to include some 190,000 combat troops (New York Times, 1/31/95).
But there are many indications that an invasion would never have been necessary--that U.S. officials knew that Japan was on the verge of surrendering. (See Gar Alperovitz, Washington Post op-ed, 10/16/94.) "My belief [was] that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary," Gen. Dwight Eisenhower wrote in his memoirs (Mandate for Change, p. 312).
"The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan," declared Adm. William Leahy, who presided over the Joint Chiefs of Staff (I Was There, p. 441). "Wars cannot be won by destroying women and children." Such opinions would be labeled "anti-American" today.
There are many other historical questions about Hiroshima that pundits have not only failed to answer seriously, but have declared unaskable. A high-water mark in this sort of know-nothingism was achieved on ABC's This Week With David Brinkley (8/28/94), when all four commentators present agreed that even raising such issues was reprehensible.
"The Smithsonian has some people working for it who shouldn't be," George Will pronounced. "They're tendentious and they rather dislike this country and...lose no occasion to say so."
"And ignorant!" Brinkley interjected.
"There is this tendency on the part of certain cultural elites in this country to find absolute evil in whatever the United States does," Will continued. "It's just ghastly when an institution such as the Smithsonian casts doubt on the great leadership we were blessed with in the Second World War."
Cokie Roberts concurred that questioning history is pointless: "I think that this business of trying to rewrite history in the context of 50 years later makes very little sense."
Garrick Utley then recommended that the Smithsonian provide "no editorial comment at all, no history lesson. Just let it be there, like Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, and each person can view it and interpret it as he or she likes."
It is discouraging that so much of the press, which is ostensibly engaged in a search for truth, found there to be no point in seeking the truth about the past. The St. Petersburg Times editorialized (9/19/95) that museum directors shouldn't "set themselves up as arbiters of historical truth." If historians aren't arbiters of historical truth, what are they? "Their job is to preserve and protect our history," says the St. Petersburg Times--protect it, apparently, from reality.

Chakra blockages are a common energetic problem. By learning more about this phenomenon, you can achieve a deeper health.
There are seven major chakras, plus many minor ones. Each chakra corresponds to specific glands, organs, and facets of your being.
Energy flows through the chakra system in two ways. First, it flows up and down along the central channel, connecting the chakras. Second, it flows horizontally, in an exchange of energy with the cosmos.
A good description of chakra blockage and its significance comes from the Chios Healing Level II manual (http://www.chioshealing.com/HealingLevel2/EnergyDefects/energydefects.htm)
Blocked chakras coincide with certain psychological issues—with certain existential biases that the patient has adopted in their relationship to reality. These existential biases inhibit the wider range of self-awareness and action available to the patient, restricting it to a limited range of expression. . . .The manner in which the energy in the chakra system (and the body) is similarly restricted, and cannot operate freely and effectively at certain levels, reflects the corresponding way in which the entire life process has become restricted. . . . Unblocking chakras, in concert with other techniques, often provides a great deal of emotional healing and spiritual healing for the patient, and prevents physical disease, too.
How might chakra blockages manifest in a person's life or physical body?

Before Tokio Hotel, my favorite band was RBD. They had this magazine called
"Rebelde" and I saw it at the small store, and I just knew I had to have
specifically that certain one. The reason being that my idol, Anahi, was on the front

As of Wednesday, December 12, 2012
© Copyright 2015
Gwinnett Daily Post
CHICAGO -- Based on the post-election coverage of the immigration issue, you'd think that Republicans have no reason to believe they can ever get Latino voters to pay attention to them.
As the prevailing narrative goes, the GOP will soon be extinct since President Obama has promised yet again to lead Hispanics to long-awaited comprehensive immigration reform.
The view from the president's hometown is slightly different, however. In the last few days, several of Chicago's Hispanic leaders have publicly criticized Obama for again being all talk and no action on immigration.
Last Friday, despite a Los Angeles Times article citing unnamed White House sources predicting an immigration push in mid-January, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., told The Hill newspaper that the president has gone AWOL when it comes to immigration reform discussions.
"When senators from both parties and members of the House are talking, when you have the Senate majority leader and (House) Speaker (John) Boehner both saying that this is an important priority, who's the one missing? The president," Gutierrez said. With no election-year party unity restraining him, look to Gutierrez to become one of Obama's loudest critics should the president even appear to slack on his campaign promise.
Gutierrez isn't the only one wondering why raids on homes and workplaces by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and continued deportations of undocumented workers -- the tally for 2012 stood at 366,292 through Aug. 25 -- rarely merit news coverage amid all the stories of how the president and the Democrats are immigrants' true allies.
Even faith leaders are showing disbelief in the president's ability to deliver what he promised. Last week a coalition of them told reporters at a news conference that Obama has 92 days after the inauguration to introduce a reform plan.
The Rev. Jose Landaverde, a Chicago-based priest and immigration-reform activist, laughed that notion off when I spoke with him. Landaverde, who heads Our Lady of Guadalupe Anglican Catholic Church in Little Village, the city's largest enclave of Mexican immigrants, spent last week sending out impassioned press releases criticizing the president for letting ICE unleash "a post-election surge of raids to randomly pick up undocumented workers" even as Obama promises Latinos relief from family separation.
"The president lies to us. These raids go against his call for prosecutorial discretion for immigrants with no criminal records, but every week I have families whose members are picked up and sent away to detention centers where no one can find them," Landaverde said. "That certainly was not the mandate he received in the recent election. That's not what he promised."
Living at ground zero of the strife that the current immigration laws breed, Landaverde said he's fed up with Obama's double-talk -- some of which is well-received in the Latino community because it's delivered in Spanish. Plus, he said, he is sick of the Democrats' continued assurances that their party is the true champion of immigrants and tired of the "empty promises" from large immigrant advocacy organizations such as the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights or the National Council of La Raza. Landaverde says such groups are actually more focused on amassing their own political power than on the people who stand to benefit from real reform.
The priest said it's time to send a message to the people he thinks could make the most difference in this impasse: Republicans.
Echoing others who have called on the GOP to open a meaningful dialogue with Latino voters through grass-roots community outreach, Landaverde said, "I want the Republicans to come talk to the real people who are affected daily by this lack of reform. Forget the Democrats, forget the big advocacy groups -- let them come talk to the leaders at the churches and the neighborhood coalitions and the people in the community.
"I can't guarantee that if a reform passes with Republican help that Latinos will automatically vote for them, but if anyone really wants to cut through the hypocrisy of the Democrats who speak to us in our language but never seem to get anything done, come talk to us. We will listen to anyone who is willing to talk about answering a plea for human dignity."
The GOP really should take Landaverde's advice and consider now the ideal moment to lead a revival of compassionate conservatism.

"...undocumented workers..."
"Living at ground zero of the strife that the current immigration laws breed, "
I like that "...that the current immigration laws.....". That's the focus of the hispanics. Rewrite the immigration laws to throw open the borders and give complete amnesty to all the illegal aliens here currently. The heck with laws. Gimme what I want or else !
What about the "undocumented welfare leech"? No mention of these. What about the "undocumented" cartel members? Amnesty for all.
Ester, I hope the GOP stays honest with you. There is not going to be any amnesty. The illegal aliens in the country will find themselves pursued more and more. They need to go home and work on reforming their own country's messed up domestic politics instead of invading this country and trying to force through bad policy here.
kevin 2 years, 2 months ago
we can't hear them! That is the battle cry of the GOP. You yourself Cepeda, said previously that no matte what the GOP does, the Hispanic community is stupid enough to vote for a Democrat no matter what. So for you and you alike, I say to the GOP to keep their stance. Let the Hispanics enjoy the person they voted for. Obama hasn't lifted a finger to help these "illegal residents" to remain here. I agree with him on that. Why should we, They are illegal, a word that gets you thrown in jail in any other country! We have laws on the books. It is just sad that our own Federal politicians who took an OATH to enforce our laws, does NOT. Well Ms. Cepeda, what do you have to say about politicians that do not enforce the laws in the U.S.? I would love to see you write about that if you have courage for justice towards legal citizens. I guess you don't.

Buy a Refrigerator - Save Time and Money
We look for every possible way to save in our homes. Buying in bulk is one common method, but purchasing perishables in greater quantity requires a fridge and freezer that can handle the additional volume. If your old fridge is not the best refrigerator, now is the time to replace it.
The best rated refrigerators are energy efficient ENERGYSTAR refrigerators. These refrigerators use less energy to keep items cold, make use of intelligent sensors to watch temperatures in various compartments, and even make use of the latest lighting technology to reduce energy consumption.
Refrigerators come in a variety of styles including bottom freezer and double door refrigerators. See our refrigerator buying guide for more information.
A Deep Freezer Saves More
If you're buying frozen goods in bulk, consider a deep freezer to extend their shelf life. Food stores longer with a tall vertical freezer without taking up extra floor space. Choose an upright freezer if you think you'll have a hard time reaching into the depths of a standard chest freezer. A stand up freezer opens like a refrigerator, meaning you don't have to bend and reach. This design also means the freezer can fit into spaces not wide enough for a standard deep freezer.

Ok, So yesturday i fitted a new air filter (K&N) with an intake pipe going between the rad and the passenger side headlamp... with me so far?... I then noticed a wire loose (unplugged)... so i thought i must have disconnected it between my f'in and blinding at having too big hands for such a small gap...
I then took it for a test run... legally of course... and to my surprise... at a cold engine my temp guage showed around the middle of the normal range!... then as my car heated up... it went past the red and has done a boat-hook bender around the display... If that reading is correct i should be dialing 999 for the fire service.
So, i pulled over and looked at the area i was working in... and remembered that plug.... so.. i looked at it, disconnected it... blew into it... gave it a shake... and then reconnected it... no change there... So i disconnected it and drove on... and still no change in the temp guage doing a blonde on me?!
So, i went home and have spent a few hours looking, and looking... and prodding and looking (scratch head)...
Everything looks fine. sounds fine, feels fine. everything is right where it should be... so WHY?????
Ok, i think it could be thermostat? Sensor? that plug? or its just doing that "Ford" thing.
Does anyone have a clue as to why it has started doing this?... also.... that plug doesn't seem to do anything at all... out or in... it has no effect!...
That plug is situated below the passenger side head lamp assembly... it is blue in color and is attached to the metal bit next to the radiator... it connects to a main wire loom that disapears off behind the head lamp and the metal panel at the top of the radiator heading towards the drivers side head lamp area... and another wire goes off to the thermostat sensor.
What is this plug for?
Second... could the MAF sensor be affecting it?... or something to do with the air intake?... as this is the only thing i touched and the only area where it could be causing trouble.... as it has worked fine up to now.
Thank you for your help, sorry about spelling or grammar... after all i own a Ford... and hope you can help me

Is Katie off the market? The actress is rumored to be dating a sexy jazz singer!
Since filing for divorce from Tom Cruise last June, Katie Holmes, 34, has been cautious about stepping back into the dating world — has she finally found a new guy?
A new report by Grazia magazine claims that Katie has been "on a few dates" with 29-year-old jazz musician Peter Cincotti. "It's early days, but they met up two weeks ago at the New York Observer's 25th anniversary party. They have a lot in common — he's a total stage buff," a source tells the magazine.
Although the magazine claims Katie and Peter have a blossoming romance, a spokesperson for the actress denied that the pair is a couple, according to MailOnline.
Katie Holmes Is Afraid To Date After Tom Cruise Divorce
It seems that Katie isn't getting back in the dating game yet, but a new report that she's scared to date after her divorce could point to the reason why she's putting it off.
"Katie's in a dilemma, because she wants to date but is concerned where it could lead to from there," a source tells Radar Online. "She's worried that if she commits herself fully to another man, she will have to give up the freedom she's enjoying so much at the moment. As a single woman, she has no one controlling her nowadays, telling her what to do or who to see and she absolutely loves it!"
Although Katie isn't ready to date just yet, she does hope to find romance again. The source adds, "[Katie] also misses being with someone special to share experiences with and she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life. Katie's got Suri for the time being, and she is her best friend, but she does eventually want to find a man she can be that close with as well. She's just a little nervous and cautious about relationships still right now."

Katy Holmes is more than likely a nasty piece of work, she thinks way too highly of herself and has not aged gracefully *who is this overgrown cow whom is from the animal farm, dumb and dumber spring to mind*. We can laugh at her laughing at herself because she is so deluded by her imperiously high ideals of grandeur. Ticking monkey time bomb. Got her comeuppance, ha ha ha ha..

I would like to know who really care what is going on in her life now. I don't!!! Just get so tired of reading about her and suri (her daughter).In fact I found that there are people who I would rather read about her- so unimportant to me. Before her, and Tom-never knew who she was. So can we just move on …?

can we actually pay attention to what the newbs needs are?
again i just read a newbs question asking for something that looks like an analog because they only smoke socially and both responses were "buy an ego".
can people stop pushing what they like on all the new users and actually pay attention to what the user is looking for? we may as well just pull down the site and put up a page that merely says "buy an ego. it doesn't matter what you want".
sorry if i'm beating a dead horse but come on, what use would somebody who wants an analog look-alike for when they smoke socially have with an ego? not everything is one size fits all.

Last night i came so close to coming otu to my mom. I wanted to soo badly. I went downstairs and sat down on teh couch about to tell her. Then i went through the what if's in my head. I think she already knows but i'm still scared. I just don't want her to be dissapointed in me. Because i'm not going to live out the dream she had planned for me and that i had madee up through out my life. It's not that i want to tell her i just NEED to. it hurts knowing theres apart of me she doesn't know about.
I dont think i should need to tell her my sister doesn't have to tell her that she's straight so why should i say mom i'm a lesbian but still. AtrhghrH I'M FRUSTURATED!
I know that feeling too.it sucks.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent-Eleanor Roosevelt
Coming out is hard. Take a deep breath first, or a few. Don't think about what might happen when you tell her, think about the relief you'll feel after she knows. I told my mom I liked girls before I told her I was FTM. You say you think your mom already knows, that might make it easier when you tell her. It's a scary thing, I know. Your mom is gonna love you no matter what though. If you ever wanna talk, send me a messege.
You can do it. From the post you made on the forums your mom seems pretty tolerant of gay people, and as you said both there and here, she probably already knows. She'll love you no matter what, as mothers do. The hardest part of coming out to a loving parent isn't the aftermath - it's getting yourself to do it. That being said, good luck. You won't need it, but I wish it for you all the same.

COLT Icons - Doug Perry
Scene Info
COLT Icons - Doug Perry
From the most trusted name in all-male erotica and continuing to set the standard in masculine appeal, COLT Studio Group and it's COLT Men are a cut above the rest. Standing at the apex of sexual expression, the Men of the COLT Icon Series are the cream of the crop. COLT Man Doug Perry is one giant wall of thick and throbbing muscle. Observed in the wild by COLT's camera lens, this hung and hunky superstar caused quite a stir as he strolled naked through the woods in his now infamous 'Legendary Bodies' scene. Seeing is believing and these rarely seen images are proof-positive that Doug Perry is a COLT ICON through and through. Check out more COLT Man Icon Doug Perry in 'Legendary Bodies' under the MOVIES Tab or purchase the 'Legendary Bodies' DVD at the COLT Online Store www.COLTstudiostore.com.

The first movie under John Rutherford's direction at COLT studio, after purchasing the studio in 2003, was
RELOAD. Making a hardcore COLT Movie of this quality certainly required some dexterity. The production
had its challenges due to the underwater sex sequence involving Marcus Iron and Rob Romoni. Rutherford
wanted to push the boundaries with the ways viewers got to look at COLT Men by staging innovative shots
of underwater penetration. Award-winning videographer, Todd Montgomery, used an underwater camera
to capture the scenes up close far before anyone else in the industry was doing it at the time. The scenes
were seen up close and the performers were very excited to try something new. The COLT Movie
RELOAD and its underwater scene will be one to remember.
The mood on the COLT Movie set was overall very positive, as each of the guys knew they were making
history and helping to take COLT Studio in a great new direction for the new owners. Of course, having
the opportunity to participate in so much man-on-man action, with a group of muscular men, was also an
incentive to do great work on the set.

Dr. Franco Vicino
Director, Executive Education & Consulting Services
Institute for Leadership Studies
Barowsky School of Business
"The leadership class has given me the tools to make positive personal changes to be the absolute best for the District. As a leader, I am encouraged to raise my standards and be an inspiration for others. It is my goal to be committed to excellence in order to support the District's Mission Statement and ultimately the customers we serve." Carmel O'Hara, Payroll Manager Golden Gate District Transit Authority
"Dominican's Leadership Certificate has had a tremendous, positive impact on one of our key senior managers, both in personal growth as well as the value she brings to the organization. She has initiated a companywide program which will help us do a better job measuring customer profitability, leading to much more focused account management. The investment in the program was well worth it, and we will continue to send people to become better leaders with Dominican's help." Russ Columbo, CEO Bank of Marin
"Dominican's leadership course has taught me to think, act and respond differently to everyone around me. It made me a better leader at work but also at home and as a high school football coach. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone wanting to be a strong and respected leader." Joe Murphy, Area Manager WBE Inc.
"The Dominican Leadership Certificate course helped me elevate both my thinking and performance as a new manager and team leader at Kaiser Permanente. The presenters were an accomplished group of professionals whose workshops were interactive, stimulating, relevant, and practical. I am grateful for the opportunity to have participated." Stacey Nelson, PhD, Program Director Kaiser Permanente
"Through 'The Making of Leaders' I have challenged my old leadership concept of control, stability, completion and self-centered focus. As a result, I have transformed it into a new reality requiring empowerment, change, collaboration, diversity and focusing on a higher ethical purpose. This course challenges those seeking to take charge to use new strategies that rely on human skills, integrity and teamwork." Brad D. Simpkins, Vice President Ghilotti Construction Company
"From day one I found myself, both at work and at home, implementing techniques suggested in class discussions, and to my surprise they proved to be working. People are more willing to cooperate and goals are achieved quicker. I have learned that being a leader is a decision one should retake everyday, that it comes with responsibilities and risks, as well as excitement and achievements. But most importantly, I was encouraged to find that Leadership is a skill that can be learned." Tal Ronnen Oron, Lab Manager The Buck Institute for Research on Aging
"My concept of leadership has changed dramatically after attending 'The Making of Leaders' I once thought of leadership as telling people what to do, where to do it and how. I now believe that effective leadership is inspiring people to explore the path of growth and supporting them along the way. I used to think that the end result was the only measure of a team's success. Now, I know the overall success of the team relies more on the individual members' sense of efficiancy and value. This course has given me the tools to recognize and foster those individual needs." Sloane Valentino, Captain Tiburon Fire Department
"The Leadership Certificate' was a powerful and'valuable experience. As a Human Resources Director, and someone always challenged to develop leaders, this was the best. We have since engaged ILS to Customize their approach to address our future challenges. " Joanne Peterson, Director County of Marin
"The Leadership Certificate Program' has made a difference for me. I now stop and look for and look at the strategies of what I, and my organization, are planning. It's my responsibility as a leader to dig into this and not for someone else to decide. The collection of professionals that you lined up to lead the sessions were excellent. Your knowledge and wisdom are inspiring." Anna Nogueiro, HR Director Nelson Staffing

PHOENIX (AP) — One congressional race remains undecided in Arizona -- the contest in southeastern Arizona's 2nd Congressional District between Democratic incumbent Ron Barber and Republican challenger Martha McSally.
With more than 267,000 ballots counted, Barber has a lead of about 700 votes over McSally.
However, thousands more ballots remain to be processed.
The Sierra Vista Herald (http://bit.ly/ZxgjDd) reports that Cochise County elections office director Juanita Murray says 6,600 ballots remained to be tabulated as of Monday.
Cochise County results so far favor McSally over Barber by a 3-to-2 ratio.
The rest of the district is in Pima County where Barber slightly outpaces McSally in results so far. Pima County says it counted 3,400 early ballots Monday and still must process 4,000 early ballots and 27,000 provisional ballots.
Barber is the hand-picked successor to Gabrielle Giffords.

Good question. Lawyers are required to take a legal research and writing class, or classes, in law school. Instructors devote a course that often takes the entire school year to teach students the basics of legal research and writing. There are books that explain the rules for legal citation, including The Bluebook: A Uniform System of
Citation. It is called the Bluebook because it has a blue cover. As it says on its website, http://thelegalbluebook.com, the Bluebook continues to provide a systematic method by which members of the profession communicate important information to one another about the sources and legal authorities upon which they rely in their work.
The Bluebook is not the only legal citation book. Two other popular legal citation books include: The University of Chicago Manual of Legal Citation often called the maroon book because of its maroon cover and Mary M. Prince's Bieber Dictionary of Legal Citations: A Reference Guide for Attorneys, Legal Secretaries, Paralegals and Law Students.

An ADB-supported project provides villagers in Sri Lanka's eastern coastal communities with opportunities to move beyond a past ravaged by conflict and natural calamity, and has shown that poverty reduction can be achieved even in situations of conflict and disaster.
Batticaloa, Sri Lanka - When Packeer Mohamed Khadeeja contemplated returning for her eighth tour of duty as a domestic worker in Qatar, a chance discussion with a neighbor about cheap loans and skills training provided by a microcredit project changed her life.
"That's the best move I made," said Khadeeja, 49, of her decision to take a loan and stay at her home in Kattankudy, in the Batticaloa district of Sri Lanka's former war-affected eastern region. "The project helped change my plans. It's a great opportunity."
Microfinance and skills training provided by the ADB-supported North East Coastal Community Development Project (NECCDEP) have empowered women like Khadeeja in this community since 2005 and have given them more choice to stay rather than migrate to the Middle East as domestic workers. Of Sri Lanka's 20 million people, more than 1.5 million work in the Middle East. Some 50% to 60% are women, mostly from rural communities, employed in menial jobs, often in conditions that bring their own hardship.
"Migration is a pathetic situation," Jesmine Zubair, treasurer of a local women's rural development society (WRDS) in Batticaloa, said to nods of agreement from other women in the group, which manages project loans. "This microcredit program has brought major change to our village.
Earlier, at least 5 to 10 women went abroad. That's coming down now as women are increasingly able to earn a living here."
The eastern province of Sri Lanka is made up of the country's three main communities in equal proportions - Sinhalese from the majority community, Tamils, and Muslims. NECCDEP caters to them all and is focused on the eastern districts of Trincomalee, Batticaloa, and Ampara, where decades of conflict and the 2004 tsunami had destroyed infrastructure, reduced livelihoods to a bare minimum, and led to many women-headed households. The project aims to meet basic needs and raise incomes, with some of the funding helping regain livelihoods in the fishing industry and giving farmers greater opportunity to sell milk.
The ending of nearly 30 years of conflict in May 2009 has brought extra smiles to women like Muttiappa Thangamah, a Muslim housewife from Naduthivu village in Trincomalee, who rears poultry in her backyard to supplement the family income. The microcredit scheme helped her to secure a loan for her husband, a prawn fisherman, who purchased nets and other necessities from the loan.
Like many in the east, Thangamah and her husband were displaced, first by fighting between government troops and Tamil militants seeking a separate homeland for their minority Tamil community, and then by the tsunami. More than 60,000 people died in the conflict, while nearly 30,000 lives were lost in the tsunami that lashed the shores of Sri Lanka and many parts of Asia on Boxing Day, 26 December 2004.
"We lost our house in the tsunami when my husband was unable to fish in the lagoon due to the fighting. Now that the war is over, we are very relieved. The microcredit program has helped us to lift ourselves from poverty and earn a decent living," Thangamah said, sprinkling feed on the ground as the chickens gather in her backyard.
Soaring Incomes
The US$28.4 million community development project runs in tandem with the North East Community Restoration and Development Project II, which is continuing the government's rehabilitation program in conflict-affected areas of the northern and eastern provinces. The ADB-supported Tsunami-Affected Areas Rebuilding Project is also restoring basic social infrastructure, community and public services, and livelihoods to areas devastated by the tsunami.
"The project has led to social change, uplifted the lifestyles of the villagers, and empowered women,'' NECCDEP Project Director S.M. Croos said. "For instance, one woman's earnings soared to 30,000 rupees (Rs) (almost US$300) from Rs13,000 a month and she was able to buy a motorcycle for her brother to go to work."
Microcredit has made the biggest transformation in the lives of these coastal communities, with Rs251.3 million (US$2.2 million) in loans distributed since 2005 to help people, particularly women who head households, improve their livelihoods.
The project - set for completion in November 2010 - has also helped protect resources such as mangroves and fisheries, and has added to natural defenses against coastal erosion. Improvements to rural roads, markets, production centers, and training facilities under the project have benefited more than 40,000 families in the east.
S.V. Skandarajah, a livelihoods and enterprises development officer at the NECCDEP office in Trincomalee, said there are 63 WRDSs in Trincomalee alone, in which women manage microcredit programs and skills training.
Loan repayments are swift and made without default, unlike big borrowers at commercial banks. "There is no doubt that the program has changed their lives forever and provided the finance they need without any fuss," he said.
New Beginnings
The Valachenai Fisheries harbor in Batticaloa reopened in September 2010, after refurbishment with ADB assistance. Like most infrastructure projects, the harbor was severely damaged during the conflict and its dilapidation meant fishermen had to pay high rents to moor their boats on private land. A 275-meter long quay wall will allow 400 to 450 boats to berth and unload fish for sale in a new auction hall with cold storage. "Fish prices will be better once the auction hall is active," said fisherman Sangarapillai Ravikumar, 37. "These are good times for fishermen."
Lifting communities out of poverty has also helped villagers provide their children with a decent education and even send them to university. Take Adam Bawa Kasara, 44, whose son is a second-year medical student at Rajarata University in Anuradhapura.
"The day my son got a letter saying he had been accepted to university, I wept," she said, kneading the dough for string hoppers, the thin wheat or rice noodles strung round like a round cak - a staple food in Sri Lanka. Kasara increased production from 200 to 1,000 string hoppers per day with new equipment bought with a loan from the local WRDS. Her son said he was overwhelmed by his mother's determination for him to be first person in Kantankudy village to go to medical school.
The NECCDEP, like other projects in Sri Lanka, has been structured to cater to the large number of female-headed households in the east. Batticaloa has the largest number of such households in the region: 25,272 out of 153,074 families. There are 15,648 widows, of whom 2,939 are war widows. The rest have either separated from their husbands, or their husbands disappeared during the conflict or are disabled and unable to work.
Many women in these communities were married and widowed at a young age. Jeyaratnam Imbarani, 41, married at 17 and lost her husband 2 years later when he was shot dead on the way to work at a hotel. She then learned to sew and borrowed from the WRDS to set herself up in business. Nattily dressed in a sari, Imbarani said her 21-year-old daughter is doing a special university degree in education and wants to do a government job after qualifying. "I want her to have a secure job, unlike my past," she said at the WRDS center at Pethalai village in Batticaloa.
Imbarani's hopes are shared by many people who, like her, have taken out loans to build a prosperous future now that the conflict is over.
"The east will soon buzz with activity and return to its former glory as a key center of trade and commerce in Sri Lanka, after the advent of peace and the uplifting communities here," said Croos.
