All this week, 34 children have experienced a "new twist" to the summer Performing Arts Camp offered by the Community Council for the Arts.
Two members of the Missoula Children's Touring Theatre group from Missoula, Mont. — Amanda Tatum and Taylor Chew — were the week's instructors and co-directors of the culminating performances set for Friday evening and Saturday afternoon at the arts center.
The campers spent the week learning theatre and stage techniques, and the public is invited to enjoy the fruits of their learned skills in the performances of "Beauty Lou and the Country Beast." All campers will be participants in the performances at 6:30 p.m. Friday and 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the arts center.
"It's fun to watch them transform from campers to actors," said Chew.
MCT is a highly professional touring theatre group whose motto is "helping kids reach a new stage."
The children — ranging in age from 6 to 15 years old — were exposed to theatre techniques including make up, stage presence, vocalization and body movement. They also received experience in auditioning for parts in the play, given the variety of skill sets of the campers.
"Missoula Children's Theatre has a long history of doing residencies and camps with children in theatre technique," said Sandy Landis, executive director for the arts center. "This week we offered an alternate program for our performing arts camp and are thrilled with the leadership from Missoula Children's Theatre."
The performances are free and the public is encouraged to attend.
Exhibits of creations from other summer arts camps also are on display on the second level of the arts center. A public reception for these camps will be from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Aug. 21.

Pepsi Throwback and the Sugar Racket
Federal Bias Toward Homeownership
The Wall Street Journal ran the story last week: "U.S. Now a Renters' Market." Apartment vacancies hit a 30-year high in the last quarter of 2009, and rents are falling in most markets. For current or former homeowners trying to stumble out of the debris left from the government-fueled housing bubble, a renter-friendly environment is a positive opportunity.
Medicaid's Cash Cab
As Congress hashes out an agreement behind closed doors to expand the government's role in health care, a Medicaid story out of New York serves as another reminder that government is part of the health care problem, not the solution. Audits released by the state's comptroller found $169 million in misspent funds, including a $196,000 cab bill for a woman who took a daily $300 taxi ride to visit her son in Albany for three years.
Government vs. Private IT Spending
U.S. Best for Investing in Farmland, but...
Census Paves the Way for Subsidies
Our bloated government does a lot of things it shouldn't, but the decennial census is one of the handful of federal activities the Constitution approves of. The census was intended simply to determine the number of seats each state would have in the House of Representatives. Today, census data is plugged into government formulas to determine how more than $400 billion in subsidies from the federal welfare state are allocated to state and local governments.

Postal Employees Live It Up
The U.S. Postal Service lost $3.8 billion last fiscal year and expects to lose $7.8 billion this year. That hasn't prevented employees from indulging in fancy foods and booze on the USPS's dime. A recent audit by the USPS inspector general found $800,000 in unjustified and "imprudent" purchases, most of which occurred in just a five month span.

Excellence in Research (ERA)
What is ERA?
The Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative is an evaluation of research quality in Universities by the Australian government. It is administered by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and was conducted in 2010 and 2012 and will be repeated in 2015.
The methodology divides research into fields using the ABS FoR Codes at two levels - 157 4 digit FoR codes and 22 2 digit FoR codes.
The ERA assessment covers 6 years of research and is principally judges on the quality of publications.
The Objectives of ERA are to:
- Establish an evaluation framework that gives government, industry, business and the wider community assurance of the excellence of research conducted in Australia's higher education institutions.
- Provide a national stock take of discipline-level areas of research strength and areas where there is opportunity for development in Australia's higher education institutions.
- Identify excellence across the full spectrum of research performance.
- Identify emerging research areas and opportunities for further development.
- Allow for comparisons of Australia's research nationally and internationally for all discipline areas.
ERA assesses research at the discipline level and uses the ABS Field of Research (FoR) Codes at the 4-digit level to categorise research. Data submitted at the 4-digit level will also be rolled up and assessed at the 2-digit level for a broader assessment.
In 2012, the ERA assessment placed the University of Newcastle equal 7th for research and found 90 per cent of our research to be world standard or above.
ERA assessments are conducted by the Australian Government to measure the research performance of Australia's universities. Results are based on a number of factors including review by an expert committee.
Our ERA Performance
Our outstanding ERA results acknowledge UoN's place in the top research universities in the country. Some of our key achievements include:
- Placed equal 7th for research that is 'well above world standard'
- 18 fields of research achieve an ERA rating of '5' or 'well above world standard'
- The only university in Australia to receive a '5' rating for social work research
- One of only two universities to achieve a '5' rating in applied mathematics, biochemistry and cell biology, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering
- Our Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment rated in the top 5 in the country
- 9 research areas receive an ERA rating of '4' or 'above world standard'
- 17 research areas receive an ERA rating of '3' or 'at world standard'
The table below summarises our 2012 ERA Results in descending numerical order.

Comments about Shimano MT75 29Er Disc UST Wheels:
I became a UST fan with at 26" Mavic 823 wheelset, but couldn't make the reach to C29SSmax when I needed wagon wheels. At first, 24 spokes sounded a bit risky under my 220-pound self, but I took the plunge anyway and the MT75 wheelset has been absolutely solid: still true and round after the first 500 miles. The unpierced rim bed means no futzing with tape or strips to get tubeless. 9mm/10mm QR might be falling out of favor with MTB but is still plenty viable.
Best Uses
Comments about Shimano MT75 29Er Disc UST Wheels:
This is one of the better wheelsets I've ridden. I was initially hesitant on the durability because of the 24spoke, my self weighing in at 174lbs (79KG) and my abusive riding style but the MT75s have held up! Without over 600 Miles of abuse, I have yet to see an issue. Additionally, With 140mm of travel (proper sag), I do find myself bottoming out my suspension here and there further proving the durability despite the low spoke count.
Cosmetic wise, the graphics on the wheels are just right. Enough variation to look cool without looking ridiculous.
Comments about Shimano MT75 29Er Disc UST Wheels:
amazing, i would recomend these wheels to any expert elite xc racer. works perfect with all other xt parts wich i ride.
Comments about Shimano MT75 29Er Disc UST Wheels:
nice, fast and strong - no problems with jumping curbs (even with 32mm tires). Surely my bike setup limits the performance more than these wheels but it makes for great touring machine.

Sixteen juveniles were entered in Saturday's Grade 1, $400,000 Breeders' Futurity on Keeneland's Fall Stars Weekend, but only 14 will be allowed to line up in the 1 1/16-mile Polytrack contest. And of those 14, Solitary Ranger stands out following a 5 1/2-length romp in the Arlington-Washington Futurity on September 7.
The Breeders' Futurity is part of the "Prep Season" portion of the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" series, awarding points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the first four finishers.
Keeneland kicks off its 2013 fall race meet on Friday and the Grade 1, $400,000 Alcibiades will feature a field of 13 two-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles.
The Alcibiades is part of the "Prep Season" portion of the "Road to the Kentucky Oaks" series, awarding points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the first four finishers.
Hall of Fame trainers D. Wayne Lukas and Shug McGaughey have collectively won five renewals of New York's most important race for two-year-olds, the Grade 1 Champagne, and each has had the pleasure of seeing one of their Champagne winners go on to be named champion juvenile colt and win a Triple Crown race the following year.
Sweet Reason will be out to prove she is more than just a slop aficionado when she faces six rivals in the Grade 1, $500,000 Frizette, the historic one-mile fixture for two-year-old fillies.
Reddam Racing's Bond Holder rallied to catch Dance With Fate and drew away to a 2 1/4-length victory in Saturday's Grade 1, $250,000 FrontRunner at Santa Anita, earning his first win in his fifth career start. Mario Gutierrez rode the Doug O'Neill-trained son of Mineshaft who is now headed to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Westrock Stables LLC's Secret Compass upset the field by a head in Saturday's Grade 1, $250,500 Chandelier Stakes as the 10-1 second longest shot on the board and paid her supporters $23.40 to win in a Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" race for the Juvenile Fillies.
The Road to the 2014 Kentucky Derby got off to a rollicking start in Saturday night's Grade 3, $173,250 Iroquois at Churchill Downs, with a pair of longshots owned by Donegal Racing and trained by Dale Romans -- the 34-1 Cleburne and 26-1 Smart Cover -- storming past the 2-1 Tapiture in deep stretch. Cleburne just held on by a neck from Smart Cover to earn an automatic berth to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita, and 10 points toward next May's Run for the Roses.
Winchell Thoroughbreds's homebred Untapable bided her time on the inside early in Saturday evening's Grade 2, $168,150 Pocahontas at Churchill Downs before putting in a sustained drive down the stretch to just get up under jockey Rosie Napravnik for the half-victory over 8-5 favorite Stonetastic. Sent off the 5-1 third choice in the eight-filly field, she paid $13.60 to win.
The Road to the Kentucky Derby and Road to the Kentucky Oaks kick-off in prime time under the lights Saturday at Churchill Downs as the legendary Louisville racetrack enters into its a first foray of September racing since 1890.
A new chapter in Churchill Downs' storied history began today (Friday) in earnest with the start of the new 12-date September Meet. The four-week flurry of weekend horse racing will mark the first time in the track's 139 years that three race meets will be conducted in a calendar year.
The official event logos for Kentucky Derby 140 and Kentucky Oaks 140 were released Friday (Sept. 6) by Churchill Downs Racetrack, and officially licensed apparel featuring the new marks are now available for purchase online at www.KentuckyDerbyStore.com.
While it is surely fitting that the Road to the Kentucky Derby – the points-based Derby qualifying system introduced a year ago – would both begin and end at Churchill Downs, it required some heavy lifting by Churchill Downs to make it happen.
The Grade 2, $150,000 Pocahontas for two-year-old fillies, one of four stakes on Saturday's "Downs After Dark" program, kicks off the "Road to the Kentucky Oaks" series that determines eligibility for the 140th running of the Kentucky Oaks on May 2, 2014. A field of eight will contest the 1 1/16-mile event on the main track.
As part of the "Prep Season" portion of the scoring system, the Pocahontas awards points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the top four respective finishers.
Churchill Downs will open the doors on its September meet Friday, and the stakes action at the Louisville, Kentucky, venue will get underway Saturday night as four black-type contests, including three graded, highlight the "Downs After Dark" program.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Friday, Aug. 9, 2013) – Churchill Downs Racetrack officials announced Thursday that 34 races will be included in the 2013-14 "Road to the Kentucky Derby" series, including 16 significant events that comprise the "Kentucky Derby Championship Series" over the 10 weeks that precede the first Saturday in May.
Kentucky Derby winner Orb was heavily favored to win Saturday's $1 million Preakness at Pimlico, middle jewel of the Triple Crown, but at the conclusion of the 1 3/16-mile classic it was Oxbow, another colt with legendary connections, who ended Orb's quest to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978.
If the Kentucky Derby was a coming-out party for Orb, the fabulously talented winner of five consecutive races, it was also an unveiling for his rider, Joel Rosario, who in the space of just a few months has come to be recognized as the best jockey in North America.
The Kentucky Derby is the great equalizer. Sometimes the little guy wins – think Funny Cide or Mine That Bird – and sometimes the big guys get the prize. On Saturday at rainy Churchill Downs, a burgeoning star named Orb, owned by a pair of the sport's most prominent horsemen, handled by a Hall of Fame trainer, and ridden by the nation's leading jockey, splashed to a resounding and popular Derby victory.
"Sometimes I pinch myself and say, 'Why does this happen to me?' " said McGaughey, noting how many talented horsemen never had the same opportunities that he has had. "When I got to really rolling, I remember many a day after we'd won a big race in New York, I'd be leaving and I'd think, 'How lucky am I? Why is this happening to me?' "
Trained by Shug McGaughey and ridden by Joel Rosario, Orb covered the mile and a quarter on a sloppy main track in 2:02.89. It was the first Kentucky Derby victory for McGaughey and Rosario. The victory was worth $1,414,800 and improved Orb's career earnings to $2,335,850 with a record of 8-5-0-1. Orb is a Kentucky-bred son of Malibu Moon out of the Unbridled mare Lady Liberty. Palace Malice led the field of 19 through uncontested fractions of :22.57, :45.33 and 1:09.80 as Rosario kept Orb toward the back of the pack.
Among the more than 151,000 assembled today at Churchill Downs were some old friends of the Kentucky Derby – a mutuel clerk who's been punching tickets for half a century, an acclaimed photographer who's been a fixture since Bold Forbes upset Honest Pleasure 37 years ago, and an elevator operator who in her nine years here has made a legion of friends to last a lifetime.

Comments about Root Beer Cozy:
I've own an adult pair of these yoga flip flops for over a year now, and they're still in awesome condition, and just as comfortable as day 1. When I saw these in Maui, I bought them for my 2 yr old grandson back home. I wasn't sure if he'd like something in between his toes, and if he would wear them. He has wide chunky feet and is size 8. I bought 8/9 and they fit great, and he'll get the entire year out of them (hopefully). As soon as I put them on him, and he stood up, he looked at me and smiled. It was like he was walking on clouds. He ran around the house giggling and showing anyone that would look. It was priceless. He still wears them. The strap on the back is awesome! I was told to cut it off as he gets older and can keep them on...we'll see.

Activision pays back $42 million, former Infinity Ward group wants more
In arguably one of gaming's most heated battles, Activision has sent out a payment of $42 million today to the group of former Infinity Ward employees that are alleging Activision skipped payments on Modern Warfare 2 employee royalties.
"I can confirm for you that it happened today," a lawyer for the Infinity War Employees Group said to Polygon. "I can also tell you that although it is a meaningful payment, it is only a small portion of what we are seeking in litigation. It is outrageous that they made us wait, they obviously knew they owed the money and this just shows that they breached the contract."
As you can tell by the statement above, the ex-Infinity Ward employees are clearly unhappy with the "discovery phase" payment as Activision has called it. The group's lawyers even called the notion a "cynical" move to "sweeten up" the trial's jury. Indeed, the $42 million paid back is only a crumb of the $75 million to $125 million in unpaid royalties as well as $75 to $500 million in punitive damages that the group is suing for.
Though the trial for this case is scheduled in two weeks, many experts expect this to drag out a lot longer than both parties expect, even with Activision sending partial "discovery phase" payments. Since the case first launched, the former Infinity Ward employees have united together to open up a new studio, which has already begun production on several upcoming titles.

One of the things I've noticed as I've browsed Pinterest and other such sites is the ever growing demand for iPad and iPhone accessories. One of the biggest trends right now seems to be the emergence of camera accessories for the iPhone.
The iPhone 4 and 4S already have impressive cameras built in. It's hard to believe how far the camera phone has come. Because the cameras are the quality of an actual honest-to-goodness camera, people have wanted to use the same fancy ways they would a normal camera. However, there are a few limitations, just like any other camera, that require special accessories. There are a variety of lenses and products on the market to accomplish this. One of the ones that have caught my eye recently is the Sanwa iPhone Telephoto Zoom Lens.
The Sanwa lens provides a x12 zoom and a small, portable tripod that allows you to rotate the phone/camer 360 degrees. The simple little gadget makes it possible for you to get those awesome sightseeing pictures while visiting somewhere interesting, and at only $63 it won't break the bank the way a telephoto lens for a DSLR would.

I eat cookies and I run fast
Hamburger Hill is such a blast
Up that hill and over the top
Oh yeah, man, I just can't stop
Through those trees, don't slow down,
Oh my Lord, what is that sound? Cheering fans I believe I see,
At the top of the hill waving at me.
Down that cliff, blip ... blip ... blip
Watch those other runners slip
Ha, ha, ha, I'm almost there
Don't feel bad, I know it's not fair,
That we're so fast and we're so cool
And we're gonna beat every other school.
Don't be surprised when at your back
You hear the swiftly approaching pack
Of runners clad in red and black,
Moving in for the attack.
As we blow by in a cloud of smoke,
We'll egg you on, give you a poke ...
You can do it, tee hee hee,
You just can't finish in front of me.
We wish you luck in this deadly race,
Where Grinnell women set the pace.
We've done repeats, we've done drills,
And for those T-shirts we will kill.
So eat this cookie and think real hard
About sprinting in the last hundred yards.
Chew it slowly, think real mean
Man, we are such speed queens
And tomorrow, don't you sweat,

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University softball team dropped its series finale to Akron, 3-0, on Sunday. The RedHawks drop to 18-23 overall and 6-8 in the Mid-American Conference. The Zips improve to 21-12 overall and 7-5 in the MAC.
Miami was able to get a runner in scoring position in each of the first five innings, but was unable to come up with the hit to bring the run in. The RedHawks best chances came in the bottom of the fourth when Bree Lipscomb doubled to right center to lead off, and in the bottom of the fifth, when sophomore right fielder Tanya Busby hit an infield single to right field, while senior second baseman Kristy Arbour drew a walk.
Akron scored its first run in the top of the first inning off a walk a sacrifice and a single up the middle. The Zips brought home two more in the top of the fourth off an error and a wild pitch. Senior pitcher Paige Myers came into the game in relief from there, and did not allow a hit in 2.1 innings pitched. For the weekend, Myers did not allow a single run in 14.2 innings pitched.
Miami returns to action Tuesday when it travels to Morehead State for a non-conference doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m.

Located in southeastern Europe, with its coast on the Adriatic sea, Montenegro is a country that has a standard voltage of 220-240 volts with a frequency of 50hz, similar to most countries in Europe. For the primary types of electrical outlet and plug in Montenegro, the widely used types are Type A NEMA 1-15 / JIS C 8303 North American and Type B NEMA 5-15 North American. In cases wherein the plug of the electronic gadget or appliance is not compatible with the shape of the electrical outlet, there are adapters that could be easily purchased in Montenegro. Adapters alter the shape of the plug so that it could be used together with the electrical outlet.
For small electronic gadgets like hair dryers and curling irons, a plug adapter and voltage converter is required in Montenegro. For other electronic gadgets and appliances like laptop computers, battery chargers, and radios, a step-down or step-up transformer will be useful if a tourist plans to stay in Montenegro.
Type A NEMA 1-15 / JIS C 8303 North American (Non-grounded and Non-polarized) Plug, Electrical Outlet, and Adapter
The NEMA 1-15 is mostly found in North America and in the east coast of South America as well as in other countries like Montenegro. This is used for smaller devices that do not really need a ground connection. Also, the NEMA 1-15 is a flat blade attachment plug that uses two flat parallel pins or blades. Older designs allow the blades to be inserted either way; however, contemporary NEMA 1-15 plugs in Montenegro are designed with the neutral blade wider than the live blade allowing just one way of plugging and ensuring that the polarized plug is inserted appropriately into the electrical outlet. The NEMA 1-15 is also known as the Type A North American/Japanese 2-blade Electrical adapter plug and electrical outlet. It also has the technical name North American 15 A/125 V ungrounded.
The new design of NEMA 1-15 changed so much that it will not fit in the old type of NEMA 1-15 electrical outlet in Montenegro. With the NEMA 1-15 adapter, the receptacle end will accept any standard household plug in Montenegro, aside from the Type M South African SABS1661 plug, which is also known as the Old British BS-546 Large plug. The blades of this adapter are 6.4mm long, 1.5mm thick, and are spaced 12.7mm apart. The NEMA 1-15 plug is also non-polarized and non-grounded which is very important Montenegro. Although the NEMA 1-15 looks similar to the plugs of the U.S. and Canada and the appliance and electronic gadgets might be manufactured in the said countries, an adapter might still be needed because of the grounding and polarization requirements in Montenegro.
In the NEMA 1-15 plug and electrical outlet, grounding is done by the third, round pin located beneath the two vertical blades on the plug Montenegro. On the other hand, polarization is done by the left vertical blade being taller than the right one in Montenegro. If the plug does have grounding or polarization and the electrical socket does not have one, it would be physically impossible to insert the plug into the electrical socket in Montenegro. If this happens to a tourist in Montenegroand there is also no adapter present, that person might not be able to use his or her electronic gadgets and appliances. There is also another electrical outlet that is commonly used in Japan, the JIS X 8303 Class II (Japanese 15 A/100 V ungrounded) which is similar to the NEMA 1-15, the only difference from Montenegro is the stricter dimensional requirements for the plug housing, marking, and mandatory testing and approval.
The Type B NEMA 5-15 is often used in North and Central America as well as Japan, and it is also what is used in Montenegro. Also, the Type B NEMA 5-15 is a class I plug that has two flat parallel prongs and a grounding pin, rated at 15 amps. The Type B NEMA 5-15 has blade contacts 6.4mm tall, 15mm thick, and are spaced 12.7mm apart. The grounding pin, on the other hand, is 4.8mm in diameter. The Type B NEMA 5-15 is also compatible with any standard household plug in Montenegro, except the Type M South African SABS1661 (Old British BS-546 Large) plug.
Although the Type B NEMA 5-15 is grounded, it is not polarized. In Japan, this kind of plug and electrical outlet is the standard. Similar to Type A NEMA 1-15 plugs, the NEMA 5-15 is also one of the most dangerous plugs in Montenegro and even in the world because the prongs are not insulated. The black covering that is supposed to cover the plug body is lacking hence if the plug is pulled halfway and the prongs are still inserted in the electrical outlet, there might be some accidents in Montenegro like electrocution or a minor electrical shock.
Voltage Converters and Universal Adapters
If a tourist wants to use his or her gadget in Montenegro, the best way is by using voltage converters such as resistor-network converters, transformers, and in some cases the combination of both. Most appliances and electronic gadgets made in the United States of America (USA) have a voltage of 110-120 and using it directly on a 220-240 electrical outlet in Montenegro would cause damage to the appliance or electronic gadget, to the extent that it might be totally fried out or might even cause a fire. The resistor-network converters to be used in Montenegro are usually advertised to support as much as 50-1600 Watts and are just ideal to use for short periods of time. The resistor-network converter is also not recommended for digital devices like laptop computers however it is great for lightweight electronics like hair dryers and irons.
If a tourist would want to use a laptop computer or charge batteries for camera, mp3 players, camcorders, and radios in Montenegro, the ideal voltage converter is a transformer which lowers maximum watt rating. It could be used for long periods of time but is a little bit heavy because of the large iron rods and copper wires. The last kind of voltage converter in order to use electronics in Montenegro that are not compatible with the electrical outlet present in Montenegro is the combination of resistor-network converters and transformer.

Poms by 15 – and England to break their seven Test losing sequence.
Jake White has picked a better team than played Ireland in Dublin. The combinations among the backs are better, but the pack still lacks balance, especially among the loose-forwards. Where's the open-sider?
England have also picked a better team. The back three is dangerous, flyhalf Charlie Hodgson is unlikely to play three shockers and the telly tubby is no longer at No 9.
Martin Corry is restored to his preferred loose-forward position, the England tight five is more effective than South Africa's mix and match mob and there is greater desperation among the English.
Both teams lack confidence, but England have the mental edge on South Africa, a bit like South Africa tends to have against the All Blacks in South Africa. You can't explain it but it is there.
The Boks have not won at Twickenham since 1997 and you have to question whether the belief is there to change that.
The Boks will play a more conservative game with Butch James at flyhalf, but the back division will only be in the game if the pack can mix it with the hosts. It is here where I believe the Boks will struggle. They have a pedestrian second row and a back row that comes armed with only one type of punch.
They don't ruck particulary well and the don't counter ruck at all. It is at the breakdown where England will have the edge.
It is a match that could get nasty, given the pre-match talk that Butch James will cut Hodgson in half. But don't forget that the last time a Bok team made such boasts James was at inside centre and England won 53-3.
England aren't good enough at this juncture to put away a second-rate Bok team by too much, but they're still good enough to win with something to spare.
Two years ago Hodgson played his best game against the Boks. He'll do the same again, kick loads of penalties and knock over the odd conversion.
A week ago we didn't have a clue how this Bok team would shape. We had to rely on what team sources were telling us, which was that the Boks would not lose to Ireland.
This week there's the Dublin debacle for a barometer. And Bok teams have never turned around those kind of shockers mid-tour.
England 25 Boks 10

USDA projects record agricultural exports of $140 billion for fiscal year 2013. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack tied the announcement to frustration with Congress over lack of progress on a new farm bill.
"We're counting on Congress to help keep up this momentum. With just a few weeks left before expiration of many Farm Bill programs, including trade promotion programs that return $35 in economic benefits for every dollar invested, producers and rural communities need passage of a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill as soon as possible," Vilsack said in a statement.
Vilsack also links immigration reform to sound future for U.S. ag trade.
After noting a new farm bill was vital, he added this kicker: "America's farmers and ranchers need a reliable and stable agricultural workforce to keep up production. House passage of the commonsense immigration reform measure already approved by a bipartisan majority in the U.S. Senate, would further strengthen American agriculture and keep the U.S. on solid footing to maintain strong exports in the years to come."
While the average size of U.S. crop farms has changed little in three decades, the, USDA says in a new report that this seeming stability masks important structural changes in the farm sector: growing numbers of very small and very large farms and declining numbers of mid-sized farms. In the process, cropland acreage is moving toward much larger farms.
The acreage shift is substantial and widespread and follows from developments in technology and in farm organization. In 2011, 1.68 million U.S. farms had cropland, and the average size is 234 acres.
But there's no such thing as an "average" farm according to the new report in the previous item.
Reason: Huge variation in farm size and skewed distribution.
For example, 80 percent of farms are smaller than the average 234 acres and the statistical median (where half the farms are smaller and half are larger) is just 45 acres!
On the other hand, the great majority of the cropland itself is in much larger farms — those with 1,000 acres or more. (With operations defined as cropland operated by a farm, both owned and rented, minus any cropland rented out to others.)
Other Washington news:
- USDA's Climate Change Program Office seeks public comments on a major new report just issued by the Office of the Chief Economist: Science-Based Methods for Entity-Scale Quantification of Greenhouse Gas Sources and Sinks from Agriculture and Forestry Practices. The report is the work of 38 scientists from across academia, USDA and the federal government, who are experts in greenhouse gas (GHG) estimation in the cropland, grazing land, livestock and forest management sectors. The report can be downloaded at www.usda.gov/oce/climate_change/index.htm. There are detailed instructions for submitting comments included at the site. (They must be submitted within 45 days of the Aug. 28th Federal Register announcement.)
- An estimated 14.5 percent of American households were still "food insecure" at least some time during the year 2012 according to a new USDA report, meaning they "lacked access to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members". The slight decline from 14.9 percent in 2011 is not considered "statistically significant" and the prevalence of "very low" food security didn't drop at all. It was unchanged from 2011 at 5.7 percent. The numbers are rather puzzling in light of food stamp recipients soaring by 74 percent (to a record 47 million) and spending more than doubling (to a record $78 billion) since 2008.
- FY 2013 Ethanol Feedstock Flexibility Program (FFP) results reported. This program authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase sugar (that would otherwise be forfeited to the Commodity Credit Corporation) and sell it to bioenergy companies as a feedstock for ethanol instead. In this first bidding process, CCC purchased 7,118 short tons of refined beet sugar in August for approximately $3.6 million (the same amount as if that sugar had been forfeited). CCC then re-sold the sugar to a bioenergy producer for approximately $900,000, resulting in a net cost to CCC of $2.7 million. Oops! The goal was to have no net cost by avoiding forfeitures. (CCC is now evaluating options to avoid September forfeitures.)

SIMON BORCHARDT saw the Free State Cheetahs retain their Currie Cup Premier Division status with a 16-6 win against the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth.
Having won the first promotion-relegation match 53-14 in Bloemfontein, the Cheetahs just needed to avoid defeat by 40-plus points, or get a bonus point, to stay in the top flight.
EP were never going to climb their Mount Everest after Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske opted to field his strongest line-up and heavy rain began to fall early in the match. Still, the hosts produced a far better performance than last week and may have won had they not played 50 minutes of the match with 14 men.
The Kings had 60% possession in the opening 10 minutes, with flyhalf George Whitehead kicking two penalties for a 6-0 lead, and their scrum was dominant.
The Cheetahs were frustrated by the wet conditions, which hampered their expansive game, and their mood didn't improve when flyhalf Sias Ebersohn missed two penalties.
The Kings then suffered a major setback when scrumhalf Falie Oelschig was harshly red-carded for a punch on the half-hour mark, but they managed to go into the break with their lead intact.
Both sides had try-scoring opportunities in the third quarter, but as had been the case throughout the match, poor handling let them down.
Replacement wing Nico Scheepers finally got the Cheetahs on the board with a penalty in the 61st minute, and that was followed soon after by a game-breaking try from Sias Ebersohn.
Scheepers' touchline conversion came in off the left-hand upright and he added two late penalties to seal the win.

Last week, we told you about our massive dog fighting bust that spanned multiple states and resulted in the removal of 367 dogs and puppies. We gave you an inside look with our on-the-scene video, and now we have a first-person account from the rescue. Below is a guest blog by Tim Rickey, Vice President of the ASPCA's Field Investigations & Response Team, reflecting on what he found during the raid and the terrible fate of dog fighting victims.
When I first walked on the property, I stared across the yard and saw more than 100 dogs, most of them tied to heavy log chains, anchored to dilapidated dog houses. The dogs ranged from old to young, living on a worn dirt ring that likely had seen generations of dogs come and go to a sad fate.
Most were chained nose-to-nose to their neighbors to ensure continuous arousal.
I first thought of what a grim fate many of these dogs would have met without our intervention that day. But as I looked at a young, weeks-old puppy with one glance, and an aging, 10-year-old senior with another, my thoughts quickly turned to the long, lonely and painful journey of a fighting dog's life.
This cycle begins with being chained at such an early age with little to no positive human or animal interaction. The burden continues with heavy chains, often with additional weights, to drag around their entire lives. The constant noise, arousal and anxiousness push them towards aggression to or from their yard mates. If they don't respond, their life may end quickly, but if they do, they have sealed their fate of a long, torturous life.
Their only reprieve from the chain is death or brief release to be tested against another dog, eventually going back to the chain with little attention to their wounds. What follows is weeks of intense training and significant human interaction with the person who will commit the ultimate betrayal and force them into a barbaric battle for entertainment and profit. If they survive, they go back again to the chain: A vicious cycle that could go on for years until these dogs finally have no value or fight left in them and are discarded.
Our responders are still on the ground, so please stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue.
If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA. Thank you for helping us support cruelty victims nationwide.
I cried at this then smiled and cried at the pics of the pup, one day they will have to answer to a higher power and he will send them straight to hell you will not rest in peace for what you have done you ARE SCUM Yvonne UK
How can these people torture innocent animals. I admire and pray for blessings about the angels of humane society and all who investigate and chase and busted the criminals. Thank you.
I am so grateful there are people like Tim Rickey and his associates who have not only the heart but the guts to do what they do! I don't. It breaks my heart to read about this kind of thing and I know I could never see it face to face. All I can do is contribute money and prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you for ending this fate worse than death and for giving these wonderful creatures the chance to truly live!
Dog fighting is hell on earth for these dogs, they are born innocent sweet puppies and then molded into aggression and tortured their whole lives. The photo of this puppy chained made me cry, all puppies should be licking faces and chasing balls and getting their tummies rubbed. At least this little one was one of the lucky ones and he can bounce back and forget the beginning part of his life. Thank god for the ASPCA for rescuing these innocent animals. Everyone must be educated, including children, to stop the vicious cycle of dog fighting and penalties should be increased for anyone involved, jail time, high fines. The worst of the worst are the bait dogs, no animal should suffer that way, ever. I still say, educate the children as soon as they are old enough to understand that this is WRONG! Bring pitbulls into schools and show people how gentle they can be and how no animal should suffer this way. Alot of times, children grow up watching adults fight dogs and they think it is acceptable and they take on the legacy. Anyone that even suspects dogs are being used for fighting should contact their local police department.
i think there needs to be stiffer penalties and fines for both animal and child abuse.
These a-holes go to court and get a slap on the hand and a fine and go out and do it again. society needs to learn to value life more than money.
So glad this little fellow was rescued , hope he finds his forever home x feel sad for the ones that didnt make it , wyat a sad cruel w8rld we live in
they are innocent animals until the monster humans get a hold of them and kill them or make them fight. despicable.
Thank goodness they are saved the picture of this puppy broke my heart
I live in Louisiana and in a southwest LA city there was dog fighting and lots of people paid to watch. When a group almost had it stopped, the nearby restaurant used its muscle to have the fighting approved because its business was good on dog-fighting nights!!! Imagine that stretching of the law!!!

About the Author
Michael Grant is the New York Times bestselling author of the Gone series. He has spent much of his life on the move. Raised in a military family, he attended ten schools in five states, as well as three schools in France. Even as an adult he kept moving, and in fact he became a writer in part because it was one of the few jobs that wouldn't tie him down. His fondest dream is to spend a year circumnavigating the globe and visiting every continent. Yes, even Antarctica. He lives in California with his wife, Katherine Applegate, and their two children.
Praise for The Magnificent 12: The Trap…
"Grant's talent for quick dialogue and vivid descriptions still shines and will have fans eager for book three."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Mack has but 35 more days to find 11 other preteens who...can together prevent the world-destroying Pale Queen from escaping 3,000 years of imprisonment... in this above-average, distinctly nonserious quest fantasy."
-ALA Booklist
"Well-written and hilarious...The action moves at a breakneck pace but never seems rushed. The characters are consistently entertaining and engaging. Grant knows when to dial down the humor and let the gravity of the plot take center stage."

Thread: Men That Wear Mitsouko
I just bought my first bottle of Mitsouko EdP. I remember the first time I smelled it; I was mesmerized and hooked on it's beautiful melody of notes.
How do you wear it? Do you spray your chest and wrist or in addition spray your shirt? My skin usually eats fragrances for dinner and I have to spray my shirt and sometimes my hair, but not so much with Mitsouko. It generally lasts for about 3-4 hours and longer as a closer to the skin fragrance.
I have quite a few samples of fragrances considered unisex (ie. Chanel no.19, Cuir de Lancome, Shalimar...) and I have worn them around the house, but I haven't grown a larger pair enough to wear them out! I love all of them and I want to wear my new Mitsouko proudly down the street, but I think it's so ingrained in a lot of men to not wear "womanly" things that I HAVE to get over. Any words of Wisdom for me?
Peace and Thanks Guys!
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Do whatever you like without compromise: this is you!
Don't have it yet, but if I'd have the opportunity, I'd probably wear it.
My favourite version is the still-with-oakmoss extrait; to me it is earthy and round with full, ripe peaches.
The current EdP is altogether a much brighter and more youthful affair that leaps off the skin.
Instantly recognisable - I was lucky enough to sit next to a woman on the tube a couple of weeks ago who was wearing it.
Words of wisdom ? Trite as it sounds, life is short. Too short, at least, to worry about such silly things. Just enjoy a fabulous perfume.
I wish I could wear womanly fragrances. They tend to be so well better made than mens fragrances, generally speaking. It's not that I don't have the cohones to pull it off, I just don't like the feminine scents on my skin. I envy the guy who can pull it off.
When I tried it some time ago in a shop I got peach and this horrid peanut butter vibe, it really put me off to say the least.

Mitsouko is perfectly masculine. I'm sure that, if smelled out of context, a casual sniffer would not be able to say it's a feminine. Besides, as you say, feminines are now syrupy florals.
This is the first step. You will then be able to move to Joy, Rive Gauche, Anais Anais and more.
I have worn all the frags you mentioned in public, and no one raised an eyebrow. They may be marketed to women but they smell great, and Mitsouko would smell good on anyone IMHO.
I was very confused as i noticed after joing in BN, that many men use womens perfumes. If i smelled somewhere some man using women's perfume, it would confuse me a lot. But that does not mean that i would be small-minded or disapproved it, it's just that i couldn't use myself a feminine perfumes. I agree that if one likes to wear them, there is no reason for not to do so. Everyone should wear whatever they enjoy!

Charlie Chaplin's signature fragrance was Mitsouko, if I'm not mistaken. His Mitsouko will not have been the same as the one we have today, but I think it's still pretty unisex. The older the vintage the better. My favorites to wear are the 70s/80s EdC, and the PdT from the 80s. I also have the current EdP, and would not hesitate to wear it. Maybe go a bit light though to see how it works on you throughout the day.

This is by far my most favorite and easy to wear womens frag. I initially bought it for my girlfriend but then decided to get my own bottle. I think fragrances from way back then are really considered more unisex by todays standards. I also own a good sized amount of Shalimar Perfume de Toilette which I think is also stunning on a man. Chanels Cuir de Russie, Bois des Iles, and Cuir by Lancome(I own them all!) are all designated for women but very wearable for men. Have no shame my friend, you are not alone in wearing what you like when you like!
I love wearing Mitsouko EdP. And I'm quite triggerhappy with it als well.
1 or 2 at the neck, 1 at the back of my head in my hear, 1 at my chest or on my shirt and 1 on each hand or arm.
People are amazed when they ask me what I'm wearing and I tell 'em it's a womans fragrance and it's almost a hundred years old.
Just started on my 2nd bottle and I'm sure I will always keep it in my collection. Magical stuff!
I heart men who wear Mitsy
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
I've seen old ladies wear this. If they can, you can!
It's a BEAUTIFUL scent but I would definitely by embarrassed is someone recognized it on me (to be truly honest). But the reality is that even though it is instantly recognizable to a fraghead, it's not like the average joe will say "THATS MISOUKO! ITS FOR CHICKS" or something like that. I think we overplay that for scents that aren't 1 million or other very common among younger crowds are instantly recognizable. I don't think anyone would know unless they themsleves are old ladies who wear it regularly.
Wear what you like and don't apologise to anyone for it.
So many scents go unappreciated because both sexes get scared off by the gender label. You might also try Jolie Madame (leather violet) and Bandit (leather) if you love smoky floral leather of Cuir de Lancome, which is what I would want on a desert island.
And you MUST try Vol de Nuit in the parfum!
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
I have a decant of the current EdP. I find the EdT to be less peachy and more mossy, with a yeast like smell that iw a bit hard to overcome. The same for the extrait. So, my favourite rendition is the EdP with the silky bright peach notes slowly melting into a vetiver drydown. Definitely a unisex, when the first 10 minutew or so with thir grandmotherly vibe are over.'
As I have a decant without atomizer I just dab it on y neck, which works fine (a bit difficult to dose so). I find it to be extremely substantial and long lasting without ever becoming overbearing. It has an extreme slow transition between the phases, which I havenever seen before. After 5-6 hrs on skin it still develops...
Wore it on my arm tonight and my wife said "EWWWW....SMELLS LIKE A GRANDMOTHER".
It's quite a moody one but I enjoy the PDT.
Go and smell your way along the top shelf of all the latest 'Men's Colognes' out there at any given time and then find a few classic 'Women's' chypres like Mitsouko, Bandit or even lighter stuff like Eau de Patou & Sous le Vent, and then tell me with a straight face that vanilla bombs like 1 Million, Spicebomb, Tobacco Vanille are 'masculine' and Mitsouko is 'feminine'.
The 90's saw the advent of 'clean' for men, and the last decade has added sugar. On the evolutionary scale we've gone from Perrier to 7Up
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Perrier to 7up, very well said.
Were it not that it's now more Kool Aid than 7up ...
Mitsouko has been my signature scent for many years; so much so, that friends can identify my presence in a room by association with the scent, sight unseen.
Wear it!
I'd be more afraid wearing something like Victoria Secret's Dream Angel's because IMO that's what 'Women Smell Like' where I live, they sure don't smell like Mitsouko (even though I wish they did).
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
Somehow I never get the grandma vibe. On my skin Mitsouko is just a wonderfully mossy chypre. Perfectly unisex imho.
I never got the grandma vibe either. The Mitsouko I know is much more butch than something like Dior Homme or all of the sweet gourmands that are so popular.

I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Mitsouko is a great fragrance, and as has been said before, life is short...too short to miss out on enjoying great experiences...like wearing Mitsouko or some of the other great fragrances you mentioned.
I doubt anyone but a 'fume-head would recognize any of these fragrances on you, and the ones who would recognize would almost certainly admire your panache for wearing such goodness.
I've only recognized a fragrance marketed to women on a man once, and it smelled fantastic on him--I was quite impressed really.
A few years back, I had boarded a plane and noticed a nice aroma from time to time. I sniffed to check if it was me. Nope. Not that good that day. After a while I realized I was smelling it each time a male flight attendant walked by. So eventually I overcame the social awkwardness of asking a guy what fragrance he was wearing. He smiled and said, "it's new". I didn't click that he was avoiding the question, so I pushed, "no, I meant what is it?" He then answered, "it's Cartier", and moved along to attend another passenger. Well, I mentally went through all the "masculine" fragrances I knew from that line: Santos, no, Pasha no, Declaration, no, Must pour Homme, no. The fragrance did seem a little familiar. Had he lied to me? Was it something else altogether? Nope, it was Le Baiser du Dragon, of which I had smelled a sample a few months before. Worked great on him, not feminine at all.
P.S. I did buy my first bottle of Mitsouko EdP this week too. I wanted to get the cool bottle in the gold box before it disappeared, replaced by reformulated material.
Nice coincidence: I wore 'new' Eau de Toilette today, right after a lunchtime workout at the gym (two tiny sprays from a plastic decant bottle). Perfect. The other guys in the locker room didn't flinch. It just smells GOOD. End of story.
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
"Mitsouko is a thing of subtle silk opulence: strength and balance and twilight. I imagine that in the Chinese opium dens, just as the opium eaters begin to lose consciousness, they perceive a similarly magical smell drifting from their pipes. If Mitsouko is not five stars, no perfume is."

I have moved past any apprehensions that I had about wearing Mitsouko out in public. I am now wearing Chanel No.19, Guerlain L'Heure Bleue, Mitsouko, Hermes Amazone, Shalimar, Chamade, Etc....I found that I am happiest wearing what I like and being myself.

I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
I have a few semi-vintage versions dating from around the 80's - couple of Extraits, Parfum de Toilette and EDT.
Wore the EDT for an evening out yesterday - superb, deep, rich mossy baritone accord that really just makes you laugh when you look at the most of the confections being foisted on young guys these days. It's not so much the fact that so much stuff is sweet or simply bland, it's just that they seem to be so mean - tightly packed little synthetic things with no sense of space. Mitsouko is expansive, it gives you room to lean back and relax and enjoy the view - these new chemical things are like the seats in economy with a 6 inch screen about a foot in front of your face.
Great analogy, Mr.R.
The main problem with the wearability of Mitsouko is that it is a chypre. Beautiful as they can be they have been out of fashion for more than 20 years now. I'd say if you are comfortable wearing old school masculine chypres you should have no problem whatsoever. I'm speaking for the Vintage EDP as I'm not familiar with the current formulation or other concentrations.

From Diana Juarez, 2010 scholarship recipient:
"Receiving this scholarship means lessening a burden on my parents and more independence for me. It allows me to continue my studies and continue my activism through lecture and public/social student organization gatherings.
From Amanda Cox, 2010 scholarship recipient:
"I feel very honored to have received this scholarship. It not only helps with the financial cost of a college education, but it also feels good to have my hard work acknowledged. I work very hard in school and in the community/volunteer activities that I participate in, and receiving this scholarship makes me feel as though there are people who acknowledge and appreciate the hard work I have put in over the past 4 years.
From Heather Samariniotis, 2007 scholarship recipient:
"Besides the obvious monetary benefits of the scholarship, I also got a sense of the importance of what I was doing as a Women's Studies minor. It helped reinforce the fact that my plan for my education and career and my desire to help women was valid and worthwhile. Being granted the scholarship showed me that my goals and current work were beneficial and seen as positive and useful to others outside of myself, which helps to motivate me to continue to strive and work for change."
From Lisa Kay, 2006 scholarship recipient:
"It was truly an honor to be one of the first recipients of the scholarship. The award gave me support and recognition for my academic pursuits in my doctoral program and the encouragement to continue my efforts. I am proud to represent the Women's Studies Program."
From Nadine Thorton, 2005 scholarship recipient:
"As a student and a mother, I can appreciate the sacrifice of others on behalf of those working to attain their life goals and dreams. Being a Mothers Memorial Scholarship recipient has meant so much. It is validation to me that my studies and career path are meaningful. I hope, in the very near future, to return the generosity of others two-fold."

GroovyBeans are JavaBeans but using a much simpler syntax.
Here's an example:
Notice how the properties look just like public fields. You can also set named properties in a bean constructor in Groovy. In Groovy, fields and properties have been merged so that they act and look the same. So, the Groovy code above is equivalent to the following Java code:
Property and field rules
When Groovy is compiled to bytecode, the following rules are used.
- If the name is declared with an access modifier (public, private or protected) then a field is generated.
- A name declared with no access modifier generates a private field with public getter and setter (i.e. a property).
- If a property is declared final the private field is created final and no setter is generated.
- You can declare a property and also declare your own getter or setter.
- You can declare a property and a field of the same name, the property will use that field then.
- If you want a private or protected property you have to provide your own getter and setter which must be declared private or protected.
- If you access a property from within the class the property is defined in at compile time with implicit or explicit this (for example this.foo, or simply foo), Groovy will access the field directly instead of going though the getter and setter.
- If you access a property that does not exist using the explicit or implicit foo, then Groovy will access the property through the meta class, which may fail at runtime.
So, for example, you could create a read only property or a public read-only property with a protected setter like this:
Note that properties need some kind of identifier: e.g. a variable type ("String") or untyped using the "def" keyword.
Why a field with public access modifier do not have getter and setter generated? If we'd generate getter / setter all the time, it means Groovy would not let you not define getters / setters, which can be problematic when you really don't want to geters / setters to be exposed.
Closures and listeners
Though Groovy doesn't support anonymous inner classes, it is possible to define action listeners inline through the means of closures. So instead of writing in Java:
You can do that in Groovy with a closure:
Notice how the closure is for a method on the listener interface (controllerUpdate), and not for the interface itself(ControllerListener). This technique means that Groovy's listener closures are used like a ListenerAdapter where only one method of interest is overridden. Beware: mistakenly misspelling the method name to override or using the interface name instead can be tricky to catch, because Groovy's parser may see this as a property assignment rather than a closure for an event listener.
This mechanism is heavily used in the Swing builder to define event listeners for various components and listeners. The JavaBeans introspector is used to make event listener methods available as properties which can be set with a closure.
The Java Beans introspector (java.beans.Introspector) which will look for a BeanInfo for your bean or create one using its own naming conventions. (See the Java Beans spec for details of the naming conventions it uses if you don't provide your own BeanInfo class). We're not performing any naming conventions ourselves - the standard Java Bean introspector does that for us.
Basically the BeanInfo is retrieved for a bean and its EventSetDescriptors are exposed as properties (assuming there is no clash with regular beans). It's actually the EventSetDescriptor.getListenerMethods() which is exposed as a writable property which can be assigned to a closure.
2 Comments
"You can declare a property and a field of the same name, the property will use that field then."
It's unclear how a property uses a field of the same name just based upon this statement. Is this something that happens "automagically"? Wouldn't explicitly declared getters/setters/properties use whatever is specified within those accessors?
And here the property is not using the field of the same name:
Can someone elaborate?
"Why a field with public access modifier do not have getter and setter generated? If we'd generate getter / setter all the time, it means Groovy would not let you not define getters / setters, which can be problematic when you really don't want to geters / setters to be exposed."
Is it possible for someone to clean this up?

The picture that came up to review is for the ladies' version of this fragrance except I used the men's version of Bill Blass's Amazing. I was overjoyed to discover this was even still available & that it was here at fragrancenet for such a great price for a 3.3 oz. bottle. I have to be honest: it does smell totally amazing & part of why I purchased the fragrance was because I remembered all the compliments I always got every time I wore it. (I'd be beside myself if they still offered a matching deodorant; but it's cool this didn't disappear when Bill's design house closed it's doors.) Love this fragrance. It's...amazing.

I love the scent. It's very femine and I feel fresh all day long. My lady boss asked me many times what perfume I'm wearing and I would express saying it's "AMAZING" :)

I love the fragrance Amazing. It is sensual and mature. I get compliments every time I wear it and it is not too overpowering.
