Benton County is in the heart of the Willamette Valley – a lush, fertile valley in western Oregon. Here in the Willamette Valley we are blessed with a climate that allows us to grow over 270 varieties of edible plants. Wheat, hazelnuts, wine grapes, cherries, apples, peppermint, hops, beans, corn, peas, oats, flax, potatoes, and many other crops are found here. The consumer base that supports this abundance is one of the most educated and involved in the whole country. CSA (community supported agriculture) programs, farmer's markets, and food co-ops all thrive here. Our robust and growing organic industry makes up a vibrant local food system that many farmers and citizens have spent their lives building.
This system is now under attack from corporate agricultural interests who seek to turn our valley into a breeding ground for their patented seeds and the chemicals that go with them. A conflict is growing between the farmers, both organic AND conventional, who seek to grow crops uncontaminated by genetically modified seeds, and the massive and well-funded biotech industry and their associated organizations and growers, of which Monsanto is the best known.
President Obama started his first term with enormous expectations from the electorate. After eight years of President Bush, America was ready to exit the neo-conservative policy and worldview. Reality has been much different, partly because President Obama has proven to be a far better status quo politician than a real "change agent." One reason that he has struggled from the beginning: the failure to close Guantánamo.
Just recently, at the George W. Bush Presidential Library opening, President Obama stated, "And that's why every President gains a greater appreciation for all those who served before him; for the leaders from both parties who have taken on the momentous challenges and felt the enormous weight of a nation on their shoulders. And for me, that appreciation very much extends to President Bush."
I.e.: Extreme policies at home and abroad come first, the American people and the world, second.
The recent NSA revelations of widespread surveillance on American citizens should be cause for intense protest. Surely it will be, as a day of nationwide mass action to restore the Fourth Amendment has been planned for the fourth of July. But any awake American can see that PRISM is only one sock on a long line of dirty laundry. The list of U.S. government abuses and failures to protect stretches far and wide, an alphabet soup of depravity: PRISM, NDAA, CISPA, SOPA, Patriot Act, the Monsanto Protection Act, drones, secret kill lists, Guantanamo Bay, DNA tests, Abu Ghraib, Afghan Massacre, Keystone, Tar Sands, Hanford. I'm certain you'll think of more.
While Prism and the rest of the gang are individually sordid, when combined they are the track marks of a far more pervasive, widespread, life-wasting problem. One that has systematically attacked not just the Fourth Amendment, but also the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and 10th. No matter how hard we advocate for the Fourth Amendment now, others will fall so long as this substance burns through the veins of the Republic.
This is your government on war.
In this Acronym TV report, host Dennis Trainor, Jr speaks with Selin, a 19 year-old female resident of Isthanbul, who recounts the physical and physiological abuse she endured after she was arrested during the Occupy Gezi protest last week. Occupy Wall street organizer, Justin Wedes, at her side in Isthanbul sums up the five immediate demands that have emerged from the Gezi occupation while Jenna Pope, photojournalist and OWS activist also reports from Gezi park that the protesters are well aware that the whole world is watching and drawing strength from their efforts.
As comedian Doug Stanhope watched CNN's Wolf Blitzer insinuate that Rebecca Vitsmun must thank the Lord for saving her life, he jumped off the couch, high-fiving himself when she outed herself as an atheist. "For her to say she's an atheist in that type of a crisis in front of her neighbors takes balls. So I thought we should start a fund as a reward to show there's a spine of atheism that will support people who stand up. This is especially true in a state like Oklahoma where you're dealing with snake-talking kind of Christians."
On May 22, he set up Atheists Unite, an Indigogo fundraiser to help rebuild her home in Moore, Oklahoma which was devastated by the deadly tornadoes that killed 24 people. "I felt this was a way of giving where people could give the finger to Christian America. This was something people could do quickly to change a person's life under the flag of atheism."
When referring to Honduras you must make the reader understand that Honduras is the original Banana Republic, no exceptions. The country is now more so known for its crime, so the title must accordingly make a reference in some way to cocaine, gangs, violence or bananas. An ideal title would be: « Cocaine Gang Violence in the Banana Republic. »
In order to attract ax-grinders and readers alike, you must mention the United States in your opening sentence, reference Venezuela without any context at least three times and devote one paragraph to the Cold War and the Central American civil wars of the 1980s. It would be wise to remind the audience that Central America is located South of the Border and forms part of what is collectively known as America's Backyard; a region which is a member of the Third World, a subsidiary of the First World.
Germany's two biggest cities are on course to re-nationalize their electricity grids. In both Berlin and Hamburg, citizen coalitions have successfully forced referenda to re-organize their cities' distribution of electricity in municipal companies. Backed by widespread opposition to the ongoing privatization of public goods, the coalitions "Unser Hamburg, Unser Netz" and the "Berliner Energietisch" now pose a serious threat to multinationals E.On and Vattenfall. The referendum campaigns have started to play a significant role at the start of the campaign for the federal parliamentary elections, to be held on September 22.
On Wednesday, June 11, the "Berliner Energietisch" officially surpassed the required signature threshold. 265,000 eligible voters supported their referendum, obligating the Berlin state government to put the proposal up to a vote. The opposition in parliament, made up of the green, left and pirate parties, propose that the Berlin referendum take place alongside the general election.
On May 16th, during a Senate hearing revisiting the Authorization for Use of Military Force, Michael Sheehan, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict, predicted that the war against Al-Qaeda and its affiliates could last up to 20 more years.
In April, Gen. Joseph Dunford, the current US commander in occupied Afghanistan, had already told the Senate Armed Services Committee that US troops should remain in Afghanistan after 2014. Dunford said he had not made any assessments on the US troop level beyond 2014. In January, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Pentagon plans to leave roughly 3,000, 6,000, or 9,000 US troops in after the 2014 deadline for NATO operations in the country.It's been over 11 years since 9/11 and the unilateral and criminal declaration of "War on Terror" by President George Bush three days later, but the "War on Terror" was planned even before 9/11 – and planned to be an endless occupation in the Middle East.
Protest against the plight of the elderly, poor, disenfranchised and dispossessed as opposed to the fate enjoyed by wealthy plutocrats took the form of multi-pronged actions on June 11 in St. Louis, Mo., as activists showed solidarity with seven grandmothers who went to jail for justice.
During a week of demonstrations with the Home Defenders League, Occupy Our Homes and Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), seven women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience as they blocked the revolving doors at the Covington and Burling law firm in Washington, DC, on May 23. The women engaged in symbolic protest against the proverbial revolving doors between financial institutions and the Department of Justice.
Since that time, Midwest activists decided MORE needed to happen. So they took (direct) action.
This is a defense of public education. Much like Socrates, public education is on trial. And despite the defendant making an excellent defense, the judges may still convict as they convicted Socrates. Public education in America and the world over is under a relentless attack by neo-liberals, social conservatives and virtually all policymakers at the federal and state level. Educators at all levels perform their work in a hostile climate. They are under constant scrutiny and attack. Thus, educators and anyone concerned with public education should begin to understand the roots of this attack, how it came to be and what its central tenets are. Perhaps the most logical place to start is Milton and Rose Friedman's work Free to Choose published in 1978. While Freidman was by no means the only critic who attacked education, nor was he the first, his influence cannot be overstated. Free to Choose is perhaps Freidman's most succinct and direct work. Subsequently, in 1980, the book was turned into a 10 part mini-series which aired on PBS.

#794538 Gluten-free Glutton: Don't take advice from Miley Cyrus - Florida Times-U...
Posted by Darn210 on 10 May 2012 - 03:31 AM
I had a total different take on this article.
I thought it was stressing the fact that the gluten free diet is not a fad weight loss diet. If you need it for health purposes, wait until you have your testing done or you'll negate your results. Gluten free in a restaurant is totally different for someone who needs it medically than for someone who's using it as a weight loss diet (as we have seen being hammered out in the Domino's Pizza thread.)
He has one line
Actually, I find the diet quite depressing at times when I think about foods I love that I can't eat anymore.
which I think comes across as honest but not a death sentence. My daughter has been on this diet for 5 years . . . she still gets sad about a couple of her favorite foods (particularly Panera Bread cinnamon crunch bagels).
I did not find it to be a negative article at all.
Just my opinion.

Posted by Darn210 on 27 March 2012 - 09:12 AM
The first link is the article from this website which discusses kids that were diagnosed, seemed to recover well enough to reintroduce gluten (you know, because they "outgrew" it) and the results of testing these same individuals as gluten-eating adults.
The second link is the actual study that the first link refers to. You would have to pay to see the whole thing, but you can get a feel for what they did in the abstract.
My personal take on the article . . . first of all, they don't use the term "cured", they used the term "latency". This can all come back at anytime. If you were once diagnosed and the celiac disease has gone into remission/latency, you need constant follow-ups in order to determine if the disease is in latent mode or in silent mode. The majority of the individuals in this study were in silent mode . . . happily eating gluten and doing unknown, yet preventable damage, unknowingly putting their longterm health/life at risk.
Now, I didn't pay to read the whole study, but I've got a couple of questions . . . Are they going to continue to follow all those test subjects to determine if any of them make it their entire life without a relapse to active Celiac? Do any of them have any other autoimmune diseases?

Posted by Darn210 on 27 March 2012 - 03:47 AM
In some patients, ingestion of small amounts of gluten will not produce overt symptoms. Some patients experience a reduction in response to gluten during their teens�the so-called �honeymoon period.� Unfortunately, despite the lack of perceived symptoms, biopsies of the small intestine in these patients demonstrate ongoing mucosal injury associated with gluten ingestion. It is believed that this persistent recurrent injury to the intestine is the factor that predisposes these patients to lymphoma. Thus, absence of symptomatic response to gluten ingestion should not be construed as indicating that gluten intake is safe.
I was trying to find you a real study where the "no symptoms" still led to biopsies that showed damage. This was the closest I came in the short time I had this morning.
I did want to point out that especially in children/teens, there is a known "honey-moon" phase that they may go through . . . which is why they use to think children could outgrow it. I'm concerned that your friend's son may be in that catagory. There are many references to it . . . maybe someone can pull up an actual study that has real numbers.

#780619 Why Are My Posts Not Showing Up?
Posted by Darn210 on 14 March 2012 - 10:01 AM
Well, they are there now.I just posted two questions - one under "coping" and one under "restaurants" and neither is showing up. Does anyone know why?
You have to have had 10 posts approved by a moderator before your posts will show up by themselves. If I looked at the timing correctly, your 2 questions were probably post number 10 and post number 11. Neither of which will show up until a 10th post is approved. If you post number 11 (12, 13, etc) before number 10 is approved, it (they) won't show up either, not until a mod approves a 10th post. At that point, the mod will have to approve those additional posts as well but not any posts made after that.
Based on your post count you should be good to go from this point forward.

#772609 Advil Liqui-Gels Contain Gluten!
Posted by Darn210 on 11 February 2012 - 04:40 AM
Sometimes your information is only as good as your customer relations peep on the other end of the phone.
Give then another call.
True that . . . however, their FAQ does have the info that the OP included:
From: http://www.advil.com/faqs
Q: I am allergic to gluten. Is it all right for me to take this product?
A: Advil� Liqui-Gels�, Advil� Migraine and Advil� PM Liqui-Gels� all contain a wheat derivative, and are not gluten-free. You should check with your doctor if you have any concerns about taking this product.
I, too, have just bought a big bottle of these (what is up with all of us just recently buying big bottles?). My daughter has had one a few times. I have not noticed, nor has she complained about anything. That being said, I won't give her anymore. I suspect the "wheat derivative" is highly processed and probably a very small quantity. . . but I'm still not going to give her anymore.
We have plenty of people in this house that can use them but if I were you guys, I would probably email the company with a complaint about labeling (I might actually do that part) and at least ask for a refund or some free product.

Posted by Darn210 on 03 February 2012 - 06:23 AM
The night of my first post was bad - something in my dinner did not agree with me. It was only rice, chicken, onions, garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar and (gluten free) soy sauce. Do any of those sound suspect?
Gluten doesn't have to come from your main ingredients . . . condiments/butter that had been used prior to going gluten free can become contaminated with bread crumbs. Wooden cutting boards or wooden spoons, colanders, scratched teflon pans, etc that were used for gluten items in the past can harbor enough gluten to cross contaminate your gluten free meal.
That being said, in the beginning of the diet, there are often times when a perfectly good gluten free meal seems to cause a reaction. The gut is still healing and anything may have caused an upset digestive system including (but not limited to) eating rich foods, spicy foods, too much food . . . sometimes, just . . . food. It can be frustrating in the beginning. I call it chasing ghosts. You frantically look for what got you and can't find anything. You still need to be diligent and verify that your ingredients and food prep were safe, but you need to realize that this may happen for a while until the gut has healed.
Don't forget to check that your meds and supplements are also gluten free.

#767330 Feel So Bad, Was Careless
Posted by Darn210 on 23 January 2012 - 08:00 AM
auto correct on the HP touchpad is nasty!
Makes you really have to read between the lines, eh?
I think every mom of a gluten free kid has been there, done that. We learn our lessons (no one wants to be the reason why their kid is suffering) and become more diligent. Hopefully the kids will learn one, too. I know it may be hard to do, but you need to point out to her that it was the gluten that made her feel so bad. Even though this event was accidental, use the experience to drive home the fact that she can't eat that stuff. You will not always be in control of what she is eating. If she learns this lesson now, hopefully down the road she won't do it to herself at a friend's or at school.

Daffodils didn't bloom this year...why?
Hey folks....I usually hang out on the C&S and House Plant forum. I planted some Daffs last Feb...I know, kinda late! Procrastination is not one of my better traits. They came up and they even bloomed. I wasn't expecting blooms due to the late planting. Well this year, they came up and leafed out even fuller than last year but not a single bloom. My wife is thoroughly bummed out. They are her favorite flower. Anyway...was it due to them not being planted in the fall like they should have been? I am thinking the bulbs did not store sufficient energy to bloom this year...right?
In the PNW, it is still very early for many narcissus to be showing color. Even the very early bloomers like 'Tete a Tete', 'Jetfire' or 'February Gold' are just getting started in warm, sunnier locations. You may just be over-anticipating a bloom period that won't occur for several more weeks :-)
It is also possible that the bulbs may not produce much flowering this year. Treatment after flowering last season could have an effect, like cutting back or removing the foliage too soon. The energy they store to rebloom in following seasons is produced by photosynthesis from the leaving of the foliage in place until it dies off naturally. If this process is cut short or altered (really has nothing to do with planting time), blooms will be scarce. Excessive watering of the area in summer or the use of a high nitrogen fertilizer (like lawn fertilizer) could also have an effect, but I suspect it's just a case of being a bit too early :-)
Gardengal48 is right -- if you didn't give them proper after care (fertilize with granular fertilizer after flowering, keep the leaves on until totally brown etc.) they may not flower this year. Usually daffodils are pretty forgiving and flower again. Also if they are in too much shade they may not flower again. When planted for many years, the bulbs may be close together and need to be divided but this doesn't seem to be your problem. Try fertilzing them now and later in the fall then again next spring when the foliage first appears. Leave the leaves on until totally brown and see if they are getting too much shade. If in too much shade then you'll have to consider moving them.
Personally, I think fertilizing is only an option, not a requirement. I never fertilize my daffs (too many, too widely spread throughout the garden) and all rebloom happily. They'll also take a fair amount of light or dappled shade, especially from deciduous trees, as they do most of their growth and bloom long before the trees leaf out.
I really think you are just too early in your expectations - give 'em a few weeks :-))
Yeah I never fertilize my bulbs either. They just kind of do their thing...and thats what I like about them. If anything keep them in a sunny location and mulch to keep the moisture more even. I know most bulbs are used to a my arid climate though, so unless you've planted them there may be no need to water in the fall/winter if you mulch. Good luck! I guarantee some flowers next year if you continue with what you did and letting nature run its course.
I think you may have been right in the first place- the late-planted bulbs didn't have time to develop a very extensive root system last year, so didn't get normal growth. The flowers were already formed in the fat bulbs you planted, and all it takes is a short cold period to induce flowering (akin to forcing). This year's better growth tells me that your soil is OK and that the bulbs are "establishing."
About fertilizing- adding extra nitrogen is generally a bad idea (manure makes them rot) but daffodils do appreciate a sprinkling of wood ashes.
PS- I'd buy your wife a few pots of blooming daffodils from the garden center, then plant them in with your others when the flowers fade.
It's March 15th, 2008 as I type this. I planted 80 King Alfred daffodils last year in one big raised bed. I plant other things over the top of them the rest of the year. Looks like all 80 came up. Nice show. I cut a lot of them for bouquets for myself and friends. Then I probably cut off the foliage too soon. This year, at this time, only about 20 have come up. (None have flowered yet, probably because it's too early anyway; we're at 700 ft. above sea level and we're a few weeks behind Portland, Oregon in growing season.) So yeah, not a lot of my original 80 daffodils are doing much. I also happened to have planted them quite deep; almost 12" below quite rich soil (long-composted manure).
Will they continue to grow in years to come? If I cut the flowers off for bouquets, does that have anything to do with flowering the next year? I.e., perhaps they weren't blooming long enough to get fertilized? Or does it not work that way with daffodils?
Katy, cutting off the foliage too soon, before it had time to ripen and replace the bulbs' energy stores could certainly have an impact on how well they come back this year. Another issue could be the soil conditions in the existing bed. Heavily organically enriched soil like you describe has an ability to hold moisture better than less enriched soil. This feature, combined with the possibility that this area received pretty frequent summer irrigation, could very well be a factor. Daffs and most other spring flowering bulbs like to be on the dry side during summer - too much irrigation then or the soil holding too much moisture over winter could cause the bulbs to rot.
Cutting off the flowers will not affect blooming in following seasons, everything else being equal. In fact, an argument can be made for the removal of flowering stems increasing the potential for future blooms, as the plant will expend less energy in seed development than if the flower stems were left in place until the foliage died back.
Of the 150 King Alfred Daffodils I planted in the Fall of 06, only about 10 percent have returned. They look like they will bloom, but I'm confused as to why so many bulbs didn't make it. I think I cut the foliage off too soon: I was told that you could trim the foliage to 2 inches without damaging the bulb. I also used alot of the type of fertilizer that you use in a sprayer on the end of a garden hose last summer.
I planted 700 more Kind Alfreds last fall, and don't want to make the same mistakes. Do you have to wait until the foliage has completely withered to remove it? Should I cool it with the sprayer type fertilizer?
Best not to cut daffodil foliage off at all- I know this makes you have to wait to cut the grass, but that's what's best for the plants. That advise about cutting to 2" is incorrect, if you want flowers in years to come.
Also, 12" is way too deep. 3X the diameter of the bulb is the general rule.
Seems a bit early for the daffs to bloom. I have growth and everything, and I expect blooms in the next week or so, but I have them in morning to noon time sun.
If you aren't getting any growth, it might be the depth. If you have mulch on top of the bed, you need to back out the depth of the mulch from the depth of the soil the bulbs need to be placed. So if your bulbs is required to be planted 6" deep and you have 2" of mulch over the bed, plant the bulb at 4". Also add some good organic matter to the bed. It can't hurt.
Good luck!
Just an update.....thanks for all the great advice!
eskota.....I think I agree with your diagnosis. The Daffs are fully leafed out....at least 12 to 14 inches tall. Nice and green and healthy. But still no blooms. I'll just have to wait till next year!
After some research, here's what I've found about daffodils and their return engagements:
1. Do NOT cut the foliage.
2. Lay off the high nitrogen fertilizer: it causes the bulbs to rot.
3. Daffs need 5-6 hours of sun. Your new planting bulbs will bloom the first year almost anywhere, but if you want them to come back and bloom you will have to transplant any bulbs in deep shade to a sunny locale (and they will skip a year of blooming) and replace the deep shade bulbs EVERY year. I will do this and think of the non bloomers as a type of "bi-annual". I'm going to mix in the off year bulbs with existing bloomers in the sunny locations. You can never have enough daffodils!
Why bulbs donÂt growÂÂ.or why they donÂt bloom
Bulbs donÂt bloom for one reason. There isnÂt enough energy in the bulb to form a bud.
Now, why did this happen?
Perhaps the summer before there wasnÂt enough sunlight and the bulbs didnÂt get enough light to form a bud.
You say the sunlight they were given was full. So that let's that out.
Maybe somethingg cultural?
Perhaps you overfed them or overwatered them? This will mostly often result in the bulb dying rather than not flowering but hey, anything is possible.
Maybe you tied up the leaves of the bulbs rather than letting the leaves wither naturally. Bulbs have to have their leaves left alone until they are yellow and fading. Leaves produce the energy bulbs use to produce buds.
With first year plantings, maybe you planted the bulb too early last fall and it started to produce a flower stalk last fall. That flower stalk coming out of the bulb would have frozen off last winter and all youÂll see this year are leaves. (if that)
Early arrival of foliage which is killed off by hanging-on winter, may not give the bulb sufficient energy to produce a bud. This may account for one or two plants but not generally affect many in the same bed. Usually, leaves that might sprout early have the sense to stop further growing and it doesn't affect how the bulb does for flowering.
Is it a disease? Some bulb diseases will stop flower production but the majority of bulb problems simply kill the bulb.
If the mulch was removed from the surface too soon and foliage that has appeared was badly affected, then it might prevent budding.
As you say though, if it doesn't show this year, like baseball fans repeat eternally in October.....
"Well, there's always next year!"
I planted 80 or 90 Kind Alfred daffs in 2009 and I know not that many came up in 2010. I swear the squirrels were watching me plant them and dug them up. The next day there was signs where the squirrels had disturbed that soil where I had planted. This year I bet I only have less than 10 blooming, it's just been too cold I think. I can't imagine planting 700 bulbs without a lot of other people helping! That boggles my mind but I bet it is a pretty sight when they bloom. What else do you plant with the daffs? Never heard of fertilizing bulbs after they bloom. What kind of fertilizer does one use? Please mention specific brand or include a picture of the product you use.
Ed, first off, I suggest you rid yourself of the identity via your e-mail address--there's too many things that can come across your table when people know your address--put something else such as your gardening zone in place of, or your state, or county...but leave personal addresses out.
Daffs still have a time to come to something but perhaps they have been subjected to more intense drainage of snowmelt or rain and bulbs do not like being submerged for even small amounts of time....you might look at their drainage by digging one or two of them up and replant and if necessary, improve their draiange. They might still provide you something.
Squirrels don't normally eat a daffodil but if there is something that is close to them that they might investigate, they might dislodge the daff, turn it on its edge or otherwise provide some hardship to the bulb.
Again, a digging might prove out nothing.
Not enough sunlight to push them to provide bloom.
Fertilizing is not necessry to 'true' bulbs...they have everything they need to bloom. Still when the foliage is up, they can be given some compost/superphosphate/bone meal to help them along.
If they do not bloom this year, most definitely dig them up and see if anything has occurred to maybe give you an inkling why they did what they did.
Re: Daffs need 5-6 hours of sun. Your new planting bulbs will bloom the first year almost anywhere, but if you want them to come back and bloom you will have to transplant any bulbs in deep shade to a sunny locale (and they will skip a year of blooming) and replace the deep shade bulbs EVERY year. I will do this and think of the non bloomers as a type of "bi-annual". I'm going to mix in the off year bulbs with existing bloomers in the sunny locations. You can never have enough daffodils!
I'm loving this idea. So when is the time to do the transplant of the bulbs in shade to the sunny area?
Yet another question... What is a guesstimate of how many years daffodils are in the ground whereby them multiplying will cause them to stop blooming and the bulbs needing to be lifted and divided and replanted? Also, which part of their growth cycle would be the time to do the division?
I have a book on bulbs here and it says that the most prolific of daffodils needs to be divided every five to six years. Some daffs are slower to increase, in which case you can also just divide them every decade or so. I grow Mount Hood, this is the second year they will bloom and already the flowers on each bulb have tripled and there are bulbils in sight as well. I might have to divide mine every four years...
I guess it is best that you keep a journal for your daffs and monitor closely how much they increase each year. If you have trouble seeing how more new growth could come up in the limited space between this year's growth, that would be a sign that it is time to divide.
I can't find the bit about when to divide these, but I gather all bulbs are best divided during dormancy, which would mean any time between the moment the leaves fall off and the moment the ground freezes, although I think earlier is better. I think that fall is a bad idea because by then, the plant may have grown more roots that reach deeper, and it will be that much harder to lift them, plus the new root growth would be wasted and it wouldn't have enough time to regenerate properly by next spring. But this is just my admittedly not perfect logic speaking.
I would try to do it as soon as the leaves fall off. That way, you do it before new growth starts but after the plant is done producing for the current year. It would then be about to start using its gathered reserves to grow new roots, so your newly transplanted daff would be nicely nestled into place by the time spring comes.
Some varieties do well in some areas and do not do well in others. A King Alfred will bloom a year or two in this area, but just quit blooming. (The folliage will come up, though.) Ice Follies will repeat very nicely. If you buy your daffs at a big box store (Lowe's or Home Depot in our area), the varieties are not necessarily the right ones for your area. Still, my local Home Depot has King Alfred every year. You might check with the extention service in your area for the correct varieties for you.

The door to come back to government and get paid for it is still open for federal retirees or current employees getting close. The House passes an amendment to the fiscal 2015 National Defense Authorization Act so federal agencies can keep re-hiring federal retirees without cutting into their pensions. Jessica Klement, legislative director of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to explain the details of the provision and what it means for current and future federal retirees.

Senators propose 3.3 percent federal pay hike to start in 2015
Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) introduced the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act Friday, calling for a 3.3 percent pay increase for federal employees for calendar year 2015. Federal employee union leaders praised the proposal, which would raise feds' pay more than the 1 percent President Barack Obama introduced in his 2015 budget proposal. The bill is similar to one introduced in March by House Democrats.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has opened up the country's spot FX market to over-the-counter trades, and authorised the China Foreign Exchange Trading System (CFETS) to determine the daily central parity rate for the RMB against foreign currencies.
Thirteen market-makers will provide liquidity in the renminbi, including ABN Amro, Citigroup, Standard Chartered, Bank of Montreal and HSBC, as well as domestic institutions Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Citic, China Merchant Bank, ICBC, Chiao Tung Bank, Agricultural Bank of China and Xinye Bank.The launch of the market effectively means trades can be conducted via authorised bilateral credit lines and settlement in addition to the automatic price-matching system. It comes at a time when the PBOC is looking to kick-start onshore FX derivatives trading, slow the increase in the headline figure of its FX reserves, and mop up excess liquidity.
Gerrard Katz, head of FX trading for Northeast Asia at Standard Chartered in Hong Kong, was upbeat over business prospects resulting from the developments. Katz said, while it is early days, the bank has already seen demand for OTC prices and trading coming from foreign and domestic banks. It was the first to conduct an OTC FX trade, confirmed CFETS, although details of the trade size and cross were unavailable.
Markets also opened last week with a new way of calculating the central rate for the renminbi. CFETS began publishing the central parity of the renminbi's exchange rate against the US dollar, euro, yen and Hong Kong dollar on January 4.
The central parity for the renminbi versus the US dollar is calculated using a weighted average of prices from CFETS market-making banks, excluding the highest and lowest offers. The weights are based on each market-maker's transaction volumes and indicators such as quoted prices. The USD/RMB rate then serves as a reference for the calculation of the RMB exchange rate against other foreign currencies, which also uses the currencies' US dollar cross rates.
Previously, the central parity rate was determined using the closing price of the automatic price-matching transactions the day before.

Analyst Blog
We reaffirm our long-term Neutral recommendation on Comcast Corp. (CMCSA - Analyst Report). Although the company's fourth-quarter 2012 financial results fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimates, the year-over-year growth was strong.
Why Kept at Neutral?
Comcast's Cable business continued to beat market expectations and the NBC Universal division made a solid turnaround. In spite of challenges, the video operation continued with its positive momentum. Comcast has also completed its major technical innovations, such as DOCSIS 3.0, all digital networks, and a multi-platform content delivery network. Moreover, several newly launched services, such as Xfinity Home, Wi-Fi, X1 and high-speed Metro Ethernet will act as long-term growth catalysts for the company.
Nevertheless, following last year's 40% stock price growth, we are apprehensive of restricted market gain in the near term. Hence, we see the Comcast shares as currently fairly valued. Comcast currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
RISK/Reward Virtually Balanced
Comcast is gradually deploying its next-generation Xfinity TV, an on-demand, Web-based service, for subscribers, who will have access to both video programming and Internet. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company gained a net 341,000 high-speed Internet subscribers and 168,000 telephony customers. Quarterly consolidated average revenue per user (ARPU) was $153.54, up 8.7% year over year. Moreover, Comcast has formed a deal with Fox Networks of News Corp. (NWSA - Analyst Report) to distribute Fox's programming to its Xfinity customers.
Recently, Comcast has decided to purchase the remaining 49% stake of NBC Universal from General Electric Co. (GE - Analyst Report) for a total consideration of $16.7 billion. As the 100% owner of NBC Universal, Comcast has successfully transformed itself as a cable TV technology giant with state-of-the-art integrated content and distribution network. With NBC Universal in its kitty, we believe Comcast will become a major competitor to The Walt Disney Co. (DIS - Analyst Report).
Nevertheless, a major concern for the pay-TV industry is the prolonged macro-economic fluctuations in the U.S. Despite impressive subscriber retention, Comcast still lost 7,000 residential video subscribers in the reported quarter. Management is hopeful of seeing a net video subscriber addition in the near future. However, we do not foresee this in the next couple of quarters.

DOUBLE BOOKED BIRTHDAY PARTY - Bouncy House of Horrors by EPaws - 11/13/2010
BEWARE when having a birthday party at this location. When you read the information on the website, or in the flier - make sure you clearly understand that unless you are the FIRST party of the day - you CANNOT SET UP YOUR PARTY until 1 hour after you and your guests arrive. You CANNOT SET UP YOUR PARTY ROOM during the child's playtime in the Bouncy House Area, so do NOT bring any props or decorations. Your guests must place the presents for the child on a cart which hangs out in the front of the facility. Any belongings must be held onto by each person. They double-booked my son's party, and while they were willing to put us in the party room that was being renovated (very strong paint fumes), we had to wait for the previous party to end - which cut into the 1 hour we paid for - and for the staff to clean the room. Yet even though the previous parties cleanup time cut into our 1 hour - we were still charged for the full time. TRUST ME - having a birthday party at this facility i

LfL Supper Seminar - Wednesday 4th March 2015
Learn to Lead: taking engagement to a new level in primary and secondary schools and the wider community
Learn to Lead (LtoL) is an inclusive approach that enables children and young people to play an active role in their school community. It has been developed over a ten-year period by teachers and students, and offers imaginative, yet simple, tools and structures that inspire teams to work together to bring about positive change. The programme is applicable to all ages and abilities and has also been adapted for use in a wide variety of other settings.
In 2010, LfL carried out an evaluation of the Learn to Lead programme which was directed by David Frost with Sally Stenton as part of the evaluation team.
The seminar led by Annie Emery (LtoL director) and Sally Stenton (evaluator) will explore the benefits and challenges of the Learn to Lead approach and share some insights through a range of activities and film material.
5.15pm - 7.15pm, Room GS5, Donald McIntyre Building, Faculty of Education
All welcome. Free to attend. Drinks and nibbles served.

University of Vermont Eliminates SSNs as ID Number, Setting Example for New Vermont Law
By Pat Bradley
Burlington, VT – The University of Vermont is changing their system of identification numbers. Like many universities over the years, the college had been using social security numbers. But several years ago, the institution began to phase out public use of SSN's. The state of Vermont has also deemed the use of the individual's government issued number off limits. WAMC's North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley has more.

FRANKFURT—Below is the text of the statement made by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi at a news conference in Frankfurt on Thursday. The bank cut three key interest rates by a quarter percentage point, including its main refinancing rate, now at a record low of 0.75 per cent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice-President and I are very pleased to welcome you to our news conference. We will now report on the outcome of today's meeting of the Governing Council, which was also attended by the commission vice-president, Mr. (Olli) Rehn.
Based on our regular economic and monetary analyses, we decided to cut the key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points. Inflationary pressure over the policy-relevant horizon has been dampened further as some of the previously identified downside risks to the euro area growth outlook have materialized. Consistent with this picture, the underlying pace of monetary expansion remains subdued. Inflation expectations for the euro area economy continue to be firmly anchored in line with our aim of maintaining inflation rates below, but close to, 2 per cent over the medium term. At the same time, economic growth in the euro area continues to remain weak, with heightened uncertainty weighing on confidence and sentiment.
RELATED:ECB cuts rates to new low
We have implemented both standard and non-standard monetary policy measures. This combination of measures has supported the transmission of our monetary policy. All our non-standard monetary policy measures are temporary in nature and we maintain our full capacity to ensure medium-term price stability by acting in a firm and timely manner. Let me also remind you of the decision taken by the Governing Council on 22 June 2012 concerning further measures to increase collateral availability for counterparties.
Let me now explain our assessment in greater detail, starting with the economic analysis. On a quarterly basis, euro area real GDP growth was flat in the first quarter of 2012, following a decline of 0.3 per cent in the previous quarter. Indicators for the second quarter of 2012 point to a renewed weakening of economic growth and heightened uncertainty. Looking beyond the short term we expect the euro area economy to recover gradually, although with momentum dampened by a number of factors. In particular, tensions in some euro area sovereign debt markets and their impact on credit conditions, the process of balance sheet adjustment in the financial and non-financial sectors and high unemployment are expected to weigh on the underlying growth momentum.
The risks surrounding the economic outlook for the euro area continue to be on the downside. They relate, in particular, to a renewed increase in the tensions in several euro area financial markets and their potential spillover to the euro area real economy. Downside risks also relate to possibly renewed increases in energy prices over the medium term.
Euro area annual HICP inflation was 2.4 per cent in June 2012, according to Eurostat's flash estimate, unchanged from the previous month. On the basis of current futures prices for oil, inflation rates should decline further in the course of 2012 and be again below 2 per cent in 2013. Over the policy-relevant horizon, in an environment of modest growth in the euro area and well-anchored long-term inflation expectations, underlying price pressures should remain moderate.
Taking into account today's decisions, risks to the outlook for price developments continue to be broadly balanced over the medium term. The main downside risks relate to the impact of weaker than expected growth in the euro area. Upside risks pertain to further increases in indirect taxes, owing to the need for fiscal consolidation, and higher than expected energy prices over the medium term.
Turning to the monetary analysis, the underlying pace of monetary expansion has remained subdued, with short-term developments displaying some volatility. The increase in the annual growth rate of M3 to 2.9 per cent in May, up from 2.5 per cent in April and close to the 3.0% observed in March, mainly reflected a reversal of the outflows in April from overnight deposits belonging to non-monetary financial intermediaries (particularly investment funds). In addition to an increased preference for deposits with shorter maturities, these factors have also shaped M1 developments, with the annual growth rate increasing from 1.8 per cent in April to 3.3 per cent in May.
The annual growth rate of loans to the private sector (adjusted for loan sales and securitization) declined to 0.4 per cent in May (from 0.8 per cent in April). Annual growth rates for loans to both non-financial corporations and households (adjusted for loan sales and securitization) also decreased in May, to 0.2 per cent and 1.3 per cent respectively, with negative monthly loan flows to non-financial corporations. To a large extent, subdued loan growth reflects the current cyclical situation, heightened risk aversion, and the ongoing adjustment in the balance sheets of households and enterprises which weigh on credit demand.
Looking ahead, it is essential for banks to continue to strengthen their resilience where it is needed. The soundness of banks' balance sheets will be a key factor in facilitating both an appropriate provision of credit to the economy and the normalization of all funding channels.
To sum up, taking into account today's decisions, the economic analysis indicates that price developments should remain in line with price stability over the medium term. A cross-check with the signals from the monetary analysis confirms this picture.
Let me now make a few remarks relating to other policies. We welcome the European Council conclusions of 29 June 2012 to take action to address financial market tensions, restore confidence and revive growth. We agree that Economic and Monetary Union needs to be put on a more solid basis for the future and that sustainable growth, sound public finances and structural reforms to boost competitiveness remain key economic priorities. We welcome the decision to develop a specific and time-bound road map for the achievement of a genuine Economic and Monetary Union. We also welcome the euro area summit initiative towards a single supervisory mechanism, the possibility — with appropriate conditionality — to recapitalize banks directly, and the use of existing EFSF/ESM instruments in a flexible and efficient manner in order to stabilize markets. Finally, the ECB is ready to serve as an agent to the EFSF/ESM in conducting market operations.
We are now at your disposal for questions."
