School lunch goes from bad to worse
Are your kids eating tainted beef and spent hens for lunch today?
Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 08:00 AM
The nightmare that is the school lunch program just keeps going from bad to worse, to downright disgusting. Last month, I wrote about how schools unknowingly serve tainted food in their lunch programs due to poor communication between the government, food manufacturers, and individual schools. But according to a recent report in the newspaper USA Today, the problem may be even worse than a simple miscommunication.
According to the paper, a recent recall of tainted beef did not include school lunches. Last summer, health officials traced a dangerous strain of salmonella to ground beef made at Beef Packers Inc., a major supplier to the National School Lunch Program.
"Four orders were produced for the school lunch program during that period, a USA TODAY investigation found. One tested positive for salmonella Newport, the strain that prompted the recall and can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and vomiting; that order was rejected by the government. Tests on the other three orders found no salmonella, and the beef was shipped from the plant before the recall was announced. Because samples from the three orders of beef appeared salmonella-free, the meat made for schools was not included in the recall. But lawmakers and food safety experts say the three orders should have been rejected nonetheless."
Even the food manufacturer disagreed with the government's decision, "Well, I can only say, thank God there were no outbreaks at schools related to any of these products. And that's not saying much," Mark Klein, a spokesman for Cargill which owns Beef Packers told the paper.
Pretty bad, huh? Well it gets worse. Just days ago, USA Today released another report indicating that food served at fast food restaurants (the same food that many parents turn their nose up at) is held to higher health and safety standards than that served in schools.
"In the past three years, the government has provided the nation's schools with millions of pounds of beef and chicken that wouldn't meet the quality or safety standards of many fast-food restaurants, from Jack in the Box and other burger places to chicken chains such as KFC."
According to the paper, most fast food chains They test the ground beef they buy five to 10 times more often than the USDA tests beef made for schools during a typical production day.And the limits that many of the chains set for certain bacteria in their burgers are up to 10 times more stringent than what the USDA sets for school beef. Grossed out yet? It get's even grosser...
"For chicken, the USDA has supplied schools with thousands of tons of meat from old birds that might otherwise go to compost or pet food. Called "spent hens" because they're past their egg-laying prime, the chickens don't pass muster with Colonel Sanders — KFC won't buy them — and they don't pass the soup test, either. The Campbell Soup Company says it stopped using them a decade ago based on "quality considerations."
USDA-purchased meat is donated to almost every school district in the country and served to 31 million students a day, 62% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price meals. President Obama noted earlier this year that, for many children, school lunches are "their most nutritious meal — sometimes their only meal — of the day." So why oh why are we feeding our kids the dregs of the food supply for what for some may be their only meal?
And let me ask for a show of hands on how many parents let their kids eat the lunches served at schools. My eldest is (thankfully) a pretty picky eater, so for the most part she is happy to pack. But she loves the idea of buying lunch and she'll do so whenever she can. Her favorites? Cheese pizza, grilled cheese, and (spent hen) chicken nuggets. Yuck.

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

My spring water gets stored in a concrete cistern in the cellar. It's measuring around 6.0 pH with hardness is around 100 ppm /6 grains/gallon according to the test strips.
I get blue staining in the bath from corroded copper, but no real hard water deposits - at least none that I can see on the outside (baths, sinks, etc)... one pipe I had a chance to look in did not look like it had any serious scaling. I use more soap than I have in other locations, but not an exorbitant amount, and I can get a good enough lather.
I'm concerned about the pipe corrosion from a health and safety perspective. So my questions are:
- Should I be concerned about water hardness now?
- Is my water hardness reading affected by the low pH, or is scaling mitigated by the low pH?
- If I neutralize with calcium carbonate, will I need to worry about water hardness then?
- ...What if I use magnesium oxide?
Plus any advice you have to offer about neutralizing and water softening systems would be awesome :) Thanks !

Our dogs have been delighted with their new beds since we got them several months ago. They have held up well so far and they wash easily. The dogs sleep in a variety of postures and love them all. I would highly recommend this product. It is environmentally friendly, too, like all West Paw products.
Pros: Dogs have never enjoyed sleeping so much

Gears Of War (xbox 360) Brand & Sealed
Anointed by the games media as Microsoft's first killer app for its Xbox 360, Epic Games' Gears of War is a futuristic third-person shooter emphasizing tactical action over run-and-gun battles. Players are thrust in a climactic clash between what's left of humankind and a swarming underground race called the Locust Horde. The main protagonist is Marcus Fenix, a once disgraced soldier looking to redeem himself by leading a ragtag squad against the monstrous threat.Since the alien army vastly outnumbers the team, players must use the post-apocalyptic world to their advantage, such as seeking cover behind dumpsters, pillars, cars, rubble, and other objects. The developer has adapted its award-winning Unreal technology to create interactive environments with a physics-based damage system. Players, for instance, can shoot down structures to forge new routes or opportunities to trap the enemy. Up to three squad mates will accompany Fenix in each mission, with basic commands such as advance, hold, or

The shape of the bike and its technical components inspired the designers at Tacx to create the Tao bottle cage. The Tao is punched out of aluminium plate, pressed into shape, anodised for resilience and partly treated with rubber. This not only enhances the design, it improves the clasp and protects the bottle. The result is a stylish cage that works well and is a compliment to any frame.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
"Hollaback Girl" is the number-one single on the Billboard charts. Fannypack: Justify your existence. Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams copped the cheeky '80s shtick proffered by Fannypack on 2003's bratty bass anthem "Camel Toe," only Gwen's got the added privilege of natural and accrued star power, and her thirtysomething teen pose is all optimistic populist (despite all the Fendi shout-outs and Harajuku waitrons). So when the main ladies of Fannypack--Jessibel, Belinda, and Cat--idiotically aim plastic AKs at the camera in the booklet of their second album, their rap-hipster aspirations seem lame compared to the G-rated scrimmage on Gwen's hit. Kinda crappy when a chamillionheiress donning vintage race-goggles and $300 white tees seems more real than underage Brooklyn underdogs rappin' about fightin' 'n' humpin'.
But Fannypack's producers, Matt Goias and Fancy, who assembled the band, aspire to higher than throwback beats and fun times on See You Next Tuesday. Like Stefani, they attempt rap-world legitimacy while dousing '80s pop in Baby Soft. But outside their nostalgia, the producers brought their A-game, and with the F-Pack chicas rapping in hip-cocked attitude and juicy Brooklyn slanguage, the album is almost as fun as it purports to be. Best is "Pump That," a Red-Bull'd jock jam about high-impact coital ramming: "Dump trucks blow the trumpet/Puppy doggies wanna hump it/Oh well what the hell...butterscotch on the crumpet." The song ends on a promise of late-night herb-puffing--counterintuitive to all-night sexaerobics, but whatever. Fannypack aren't about coherence; they're about gestures, symbols of better days, as with Debbie Deb throwbacks like "Keep On," and simplistic verse like "Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme sick/But your wack rhymes always make me sick."
Fannypack's limited rap skills keep them from sounding like more than throwback party clowns, even with tracks like "You Gotta Know," whose beat apes Basement Jaxx's "Hot and Cold," and crunk-slang lyrics like "Corner crack slingers and redneck truckers/North Cackalacka South Cackalacka Make some fucking noise for Fannypackalacka/Smack all you bitchass backpackalackas." But goofing in the tradition of the Beastie Boys isn't much to be ashamed of, especially on "Seven One Eight," a sassy oompah dedication to Brooklyn--"you get rude in your underoos/So so moved by my rap haikus." So when they front like they're serious, it just confuses the situation. If it's any consolation, the adult songs didn't work on Gwen's full-length, either.

Stafford teenager plans gap year teaching in Tanzania
Posted: August 16, 2014|
A STAFFORD teenager is planing a gap year with a difference. Instead of trekking round the world or partying in Thailand, Hanako Ichii-Jones will be spending a year teaching children and young people in Africa.
The 18-year-old former Blessed William Howard pupil is heading for Tanzania in October, where she will be diving her time between teaching music to schoolchildren and conversational English to university students.
She will be staying in Tanzanian capital Dodoma, and teaching in local schools and at St John's University.
Hanako, an accomplished musician, who has been singing in the choir at St Mary's Church since she was eight, plays the flute and the recorder. And she is taking a dozen recorders donated by her school out with her for her new pupils.

"I want a productive gap year, giving an opportunity to others far less fortunate than myself," said Hanako, of Wolverhampton Road, who has taken A levels in music, history, and English language and literature and is considering doing a law degree.
She will be staying with a British couple, Brian and Angela Savage, the brother and sister-in-law of St Mary's musician John Savage.
But she is meeting all her other expenses herself and is now busy fund-raising to finance her travels.
"As this is completely voluntary and I will not receive any payment for my work, all my costs from flight to day-to-day expenses will have to be funded solely by me," Hanako explained.
Her fund-raising efforts got off to a flying start with a £300 donation from the One World Group at St Mary's, and she is also planning a money-raising concert at the church on September 6.
The concert, at 7.30pm, will involve school friends and members of the St Mary's Music group. Admission is free, but donations will be very welcome.
And Hanako is planning to keep her Stafford friends updated by writing a blog during her travels.

Re: how long does it take you leave?
Liveaboard, on a dock, 30' sailboat : 15 minutes if nobody is sitting in my way, and it begins with closing all the roof hatches, tipping delicate things over/wedging them in tight spaces so they don't fall and break. Then I go up in the cockpit and remove the wheel cover, start the engine, go on deck and remove the mainsail cover, remove parts of my dodger windows, and the entire dodger cover, center the traveler, clip the main halyard to the sail, and then run my (roller furling) jib sheets aft to the cockpit. By then, I can unplug from shore-power, untie from the dock and motor out of the marina until I raise my sails.
In the midst of this, before un-tying I check to make sure the Fwd/Rev/throttle all work as they should...habit...
There's always a weird "I know I'm forgetting something" feeling when it all happens too quickly and too fluidly. It's usually that I forget to take my fenders up while underway, and the feeling goes away after that. Of course, now after stating that fact, it may never happen again.

Saturday February 2, 2013
By PAUL FONG firstname.lastname@example.com
For a romantic holiday this Valentine, you could visit Verona and follow in the footsteps of a literary pair of lovers!
IT'S that time of the year when couples are reminded once again that Valentine's Day is around the corner, and they start to wonder how they might celebrate it.
If you are thinking of a romantic getaway this year, perhaps a trip to Verona will fit the bill.
Why Verona, and how does it tie-in with Valentine's? Well, Verona is the city where the most famous love story of all began. It is also a city replete with romance, history, historical buildings and some of the most beautiful sights in Italy.
When Shakespeare wrote his play Romeo And Juliet back in the 16th century, he probably had no idea that his tragic tale of two star-crossed lovers from rival families in Verona would have such an enduring appeal, right up to the 21st century, in fact.
Written to entertain the common folk in Elizabethan England, the story struck a chord among its audience and touched the hearts of readers across the world. Because of its universal theme, the poignant love story of Romeo and Juliet has inspired many classical music compositions, musicals and films. Some of you may have seen the movie Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo di Caprio and Claire Danes as the unfortunate lovers, while older audiences would have seen the version with Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting.
Even the musical and the movie version of West Side Story was an adaptation, with the story transported to the mean streets of 1950s New York, with music composed by Leonard Bernstein. It became an instant hit with memorable songs such as Maria and Tonight.
Letters To Juliet, a movie that came out in 2010, revealed the fact that love-struck women across the world have been writing letters to the fictitious Juliet, imploring for advice on how to find true love. The letters would simply be addressed to Juliet of Verona, and they are replied to – a group of women known as the Secretaries of Juliet would write back on Juliet's behalf and dole out sensible advice to these troubled women.
Somehow, when it comes to matters of the heart, women around the world are the same – agonising over a thing called love or the lack of it!
Intrigued by all these, I wanted to find out what Verona was all about and get an idea of how Romeo and Juliet would have lived in this city during their time. Happily, I wasn't disappointed.
Verona is packed with tourists in the summer, so February may be a good time to visit as you do not have to battle the crowds and can have the city all to yourself.
The first stop on every tourist's list or a tour group's itinerary must be at La Casa di Julietta, because that's where you find throngs of people inching their way into the courtyard where Juliet's house is supposedly located, never mind that she is a fictional character and "her" balcony was only installed in 1935.
There were so many people squeezed into the courtyard that I could hardly move. As I inched my way into the centre of the courtyard to get a better shot of the famous balcony, I was bombarded with excited chatter in every language imaginable. Large groups of excited tourists were waiting for their turn to pose next to the statue of Juliet, cheekily clutching her left breast while they were being photographed.
Poor Juliet, her breast had been rubbed to a golden sheen over the years by amorous men. I had to go there extra early on another morning just to get a better photo of her.
Right above, jutting out over the courtyard from the second floor, was the balcony where Juliet supposedly uttered the immortal line "O Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo?" on a moonlit night.
The balcony was carved out of stone with patterns on the outside, and there were excited couples stepping out onto it to look down at the crowds below and to have their photos taken.
I noted that some sections of the courtyard walls were densely packed with small locks in various colours, scribbled with the names of couples along with short messages swearing undying love. Those who had not come prepared with locks wrote their pledges on pieces of bubble gum instead.
Juliet's Tomb was next on my list, and it is located in the basement of Frescos Museum, which showcases wall frescos and religious paintings relocated here from churches elsewhere for better preservation. Her tomb in the basement turned out to be just an open, rectangular coffin, roughly hewn out of stone, without any ornamentation or inscription whatsoever.
Cynically, I concluded that Juliet's Tomb must have been placed here just to draw tourists to a museum they might otherwise not bother with.
Along the path leading to this museum, I was struck by a monument carved in white marble showing a couple in a beautiful butterfly-like embrace but wearing Chinese period costumes.
This turned out to be a statue depicting the doomed couple, Liang Shan Bo and Tzu Ying Tai from the Chinese classic, the Butterfly Lovers. They are the Chinese equivalent of Romeo and Juliet, another testament to the fact that not all love stories have a happy ending.
This monument was a gift from the Ningbo provincial government in China.
While Juliet's house and tomb were turned into big tourist attractions, poor Romeo has rather been neglected. Apparently there is a house where he is supposed to have lived in but because it is still a residence and not opened to the public, not much publicity has been given to it.
In any case, the spirit of Romeo and Juliet has infused the city so much that cake shops have taken to honouring the couple with enticing pastry creations named after them.
The old quarter of the city is located in a loop of the River Adige which is criss-crossed by picturesque old bridges. Walking around the city is a real pleasure as Verona is filled with beautiful medieval churches and many historic buildings. Besides pleasing exteriors, the churches are often filled on the inside with exquisite frescos and paintings.
Four of these churches are especially worthy of mention as they form part of a circuit known as the Associazione "Chiese Vive". Beautifully renovated and maintained, this group comprises the Duomo (Cathedral), Basilica di Santa Anastasia, Basilica di San Zeno and the Chiesa di San Fermo.
The Chiesa San Fermo, a short walk from Juliet's house and tomb, is a lovely Romanesque church built in the 11th century that is split into two levels. On the upper level of the church, with its high, vaulted ceilings, a quiet solemnity reigns when there are no tourists around. In the quiet intimacy of this church, I could picture Friar Lawrence conducting the secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet as they vowed undying love to each other.
The lower church is below ground in the crypt and shrouded in gloomy darkness except for a few lighted candles here and there. Here, I imagined Romeo weeping in despair beside the coffin of Juliet. Juliet would then wake up from her 48-hour slumber to find her beloved Romeo dead, and overcome with grief, she would stab herself with his dagger.
As I walked the streets of Verona and admired the palazzos, squares, courtyards, towers and churches that filled the old quarter, I could picture how Romeo and Juliet lived their lives.
In the busy Piazza della Erbe, flanked by historic buildings now filled with stalls selling fruits, vegetables, accessories and souvenirs, I imagined Romeo having friendly duels with his friends and drinking from the fountain or washing off the blood from his sword after fatally wounding Mercutio.
The colossal Roman Arena on Piazza Bra would have been Romeo's playground where he staged mock fights with wooden swords with his young friends. These days the monumental amphitheatre comes to life – not to the cries of crowds cheering gladiators in bloody duels but – to the dramatic arias of opera singers on warm summer nights.
Operas like Aida, Tosca and Carmen are the perennial favourites.
Across the river at the Teatro Romano, or the old Roman Theatre, Shakespeare's plays are staged in the open air every summer at night.
For a bird's eye view of the city, you can hike up to Castel San Pietro (St Peter's Castle), which is high up on a hill, and enjoy stunning views that make you realise how beautiful this city is.
Perhaps my imagination is too vivid, but I couldn't help but picture how each place in Verona could have formed a backdrop to the story of Romeo and Juliet. The whole atmosphere in Verona is a throwback to a less harried time, when eyes can meet across a crowded dance floor and ignite the spark of love.
Romance and love are timeless, and these qualities seem to resonate from every old building, street and bridge in Verona. If you have any doubt about this, just ask anyone in the crowd gathered below Juliet's balcony.
Verona is just two hours away from Milan or Venice by train.

The judge overseeing the state pension conflict is slated to hear arguments on a number of motions Thursday. The window for voting on a proposed settlement ends Friday.
A series of public-employee unions are suing over changes made to their benefits as part of a 2011 overhaul of the state pension system. That conflict will move ahead in court next month, unless there's a settlement in the case.
A legal observer says he expects the legal dispute over a 2011 overhaul of the state pension system to be settled out of court.
Roger Williams University Law School dean Michael Yelnosky said he's fairly optimistic about the outlook for a settlement. "For a couple of reasons: one, they came so very close before; there continue to be lots of good reasons to settle on both sides," said Yelnosky.
Efforts to settle the pension dispute fell apart in April when one of six plaintiff groups rejected a proposed deal.
A judge has ordered the parties in a lawsuit over Rhode Island's pension overhaul back to the mediation table, after police voted to reject a proposed settlement. Many teachers, firefighters, state workers and retirees voted to accept the deal, which was reached after more than a year of negotiation.
Rhode Island Public Radio's Elisabeth Harrison sat down with political analyst Scott Mackay to figure out what the rejection means, and where the pension settlement can go from here.

Re: Learned something(s) today
Yeah, we're OK, thanks for asking! As Caleb said, a jib halyard wrapped around the prop. I stupidly thought that it would be better to try to maintain steerage, so I swam under the boat while my dad steered. The problem is, he's even more of a novice than I am. I was holding my breath and swimming down while fighting a 2-3 knot "current" most of the time. I should have just dropped the anchor, it would have been much easier to dive the boat. In the end, we wound up getting towed back because I have tow insurance and don't want to damage the engine work that we just had done.

BUFFALO, N.Y., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Those working in Medicare programs have full schedules, filled with program submission rules, standardized formats, policy changes, data validation audits, on-site audits and more. Just when it seems there aren't enough hours in the day to get it all done, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is adding even more oversight by getting tough on prescription overutilization by Medicare beneficiaries, and Clinical Support Services, Inc. (CSS) has a new program to help identify and track those most at risk.
CSS's new program helps Medicare plans offering prescription coverage to meet CMS's new requirements for retrospective drug utilization review by identifying "patterns which suggest that the identified patients may be at risk of overutilization. Part D sponsors should create and monitor Part D utilization reports to identify patterns of apparent duplicative drug use over sustained periods of time and/or across multiple drug products," according to the CY2013 Final Call Letter.
CSS's program reviews pharmacy claims and plan eligibility data monthly, then flags patients of concern by using predetermined selection criteria such as number of prescriptions filled in a 30-day period for frequently abused drug classes; number of physicians prescribing medication for that patient; and number of pharmacies filling prescriptions for that patient. Medicare plans receive a data report to determine the best course of action for that patient.
"Medicare plans have had even more responsibility thrust upon them," said James Notaro, RPh, Ph.D., CSS president. "This is a serious problem that needs serious consideration."
About CSS: Founded in 1999 by pharmacists and technologists, CSS is staffed by experienced clinicians, software developers and operations personnel who develop innovat

Wow, the detailing of the cloak and all them faces is amazing. I found that its not instantly apparent either, which is a really good. It adds a sense of real magical danger I think.

It is International Women's Day today, March 8 – an opportunity to bring the challenges women face in the workplace to the fore.
Laws to protect women being discriminated against in the workplace because of their "family status" have existed for some time. What has been less clear is what the legal definition of "family status" means. Even at the highest court level, it's unclear as there have been few decisions to help define the term.
Given this lack of clarity, employers have had to consider multiple interpretations when accommodating employees. However, two recent rulings provide some clarity on how "family status" is interpreted in court.

Windows Start-up
Created: 22 Sep 2011 | 3 comments
We currently have a very simple deployment. We have captured Adobe X and Lotus 7.0.3 in two separate layers and deployed to several users as pre-cache apps (Windows 7 Enterprise x64). What we are see is high CPU (spike 100%) and longer log-in times at boot. Is ther anyway to delay the agent or application not to load at boot?
I believe we are using the most current version of the Workspace Streaming Agent(184.108.40.206).
Discussion Filed Under:
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You could also delay the streaming agent logon. Here is how it is done:
Hello John,
- Is this behavior seen when both the layers are active?
- What Antivirus product and version is being used?
- What are the other layers active on the endpoint?
- Have you tried removing the "Activate on start up" property for all layers as recommended earlier and compared the times?
- Also have you tried removing the "Activate on start up" on all layers and tried using the property on one layer at a time? This will require sub-sequent reboots but is a good method to isolate which layers is contributing to the problem.

matejaPetkovic: maybe one day thanks man!
ryan: erp no dirty sunday, as it conflicts a bit with CFSL's image, they weren't particularly keen on the raunchy stuff. We are thinking about possibly doing a dirty sunday special sometime in the future though Dave Palumbo has a collection of his nudes for sale in book format here.
I reckon I've forgotten what I'm doing, but here's some work from an indie game that's gone into Beta:
Blight of the Immortals is an online cooperative strategy game that pits a host of fantasy creatures against their undead counterparts. Blight of the Immortals is in early beta right now. Sign up and give it a try!
Iron helmet makes indie games, and their last game [Neptune's Pride] was pretty cool. Edge Mag said Neptune's Pride was in the Top 3 indie games of the year, and PC gamer said it was the top web game of the year, and also said it was the 50th best game of all time! Hopefully Blight will be at least as successful!!
Anyway, here's a sampling of some of them [i did quite a few] They're all quite old...

Hello Devin!
I hope you re doing well in Singapore!
I saw Clo was speaking french on her blog, are you from France or do you speak french also? Anyhow, it must be sweet & inspiring to travel & see new places!
I really enjoy the collab you made with her, the big ears are wonderful.
I also LOVE your concept art, could we call the style painterly cartoony?
I may paint in that way & try to achieve that look. It looks lovely!
Keep getting better!
All the best

From the Publisher"The strengths of this book are the side-by-side, similarly aligned pictures with various stains, easy to understand tables, and succinct text. The atlas covers all of the major anatomic sites and related tumors. Each anatomic site has a table with all of the major tumors and the associated staining patterns, allowing readers easy and quick access to immunohistochemical interpretation in an anatomically based approach....The usefulness of this book stems from its uniqueness and high quality images. Most books on immunohistochemistry are geared more toward those in the field of immunohistochemistry and not toward the practicing pathologist. With this book, pathologists are able to see proper interpretation of mmunohistochemistry in side-by-side comparisons. There is less emphasis on the science of immunohistochemistry, and more emphasis on interpretation and its proper usage."

Friday Five: Judges
Today is the birthday of the most important figure in American law since Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.: Judge Judy. As you know, judges play a pretty important part in several country songs; they're normally the ones sentencing our protagonists to 99 years in the Folsom pen or presiding over sham trials when the lights go out in Georgia. Let's check out a few tunes about judges and judging.
5. Rhonda Vincent – "The Court of Love"
The judge in this track (from Taken) gives Ms. Vincent her freedom back by dropping a harsh sentence on her cheating, lying, feller. The punishment? A lifetime without Rhonda. That's pretty cruel if the guy's a bluegrass fan.
4. Conway Twitty – "Judge of Hearts"
Twitty pleads his case before the judge in this late '50s pop tune, begging "Don't sentence me to live my life/In this prison of broken hearts."
3. Rodney Crowell – "It's Not for Me to Judge""Brown Eyed Handsome Man"
Go get stoned on Valium and gin or believe in ghosts and spirits. Crowell knows it's not his place to cast judgment.
2. Waylon Jennings – "Brown Eyed Handsome Man"
It's the judge's wife who gets the job done in this Chuck Berry classic, calling up the district attorney and telling him "You want your job, you better free that brown eyed man."
1. Jean Shepard – "Let Me Be the Judge"
Shepard won't listen to the town gossips when they whisper about her what her man's been up to, but she wants to hear it from the source. If he's guilty, she's prepared to erase him from her heart and mind.
12 Comments
Chuck Berry is hard to beat.
"Just Let Me Be The Judge" – Conway Twitty
"When You're Hot You're Hot" – Jerry Reed
'You throw the book at me let my friends go free'
There's a fairly prominent judge in Johnny Cash's "Cocaine Blues"…
And speaking of Lester Flatt, there's "99 Years Is Almost For Life." Dave Evans also did an outstanding job on it.
The Skeeter Davis song "Set Him Free" takes place in a coutroom and is quite unique for a spoken word country song.
Let's not forget about the Coppola twins who wrote "You're Not My Judge" to Naomi Judd after the way they were treated on "Can You Duet"! (lol)
And finally both Buck Owens and Rose Maddox are speaking directly to the judge in divorce court in the song "Mental Cruelty". I guess Rose really did want to be a single girl again….
How could we forget perhaps the top judge in country music–one who by the way was not too familiar with "innoncent until proven guilty," the Fifth Amendment and all those other namby pamby subversive concepts–the judge who does in Lefty in the "Long Black Veil".
There's a hanging judge in Johnny Cash's incredible version of I HUNG MY HEAD.
Patsy Cline's "A Church, a Courtroom and Then Goodbye", second verse:
the next scene was a crowded courtroom
and like strangers we sat side by side
then I heard the judge make his decision
and no longer were we man and wife
There seem to have been a lot of "anti-divorce" songs back in the day. Hank Snow's "Married by the Bible, Divorced by the Law" was the quintessential one.
Of course Merle Travis took the other side in "Divorce Me COD"
I agree Jon – Dave Evans does do an outstanding job on "99 Years Is Almost For Life", but Dave Evans does an outstanding job on almost every song.
The famous Judge Parker makes an appearance in Steve Earle's "Tom Ames Prayer."
"Judge Parker said guilty and the gavel came down just like a cannon shot/And I went away quietly but I began to file and plot."
Nice list.

Semester Abroad Group visits Iceland, Europe
MARCH. 23, 2007--A few University of Wisconsin-River Falls students experienced somewhat of a reverse culture shock when they returned home after a 14-week trip to nine European countries as well as the unique, lava-locked island called Iceland.
Nineteen students recently reunited for the first time since they returned from their fall semester abroad in December. Now savvy, veteran world travelers, the group was noisy, raucous, filled with joy and laughter at the reunion.
"People will ask you, 'How was your trip?' but when you begin to answer, they seem to lose interest very quickly," said Dennis Cooper, the trip's group leader and professor in the animal and food science department. "This is normal. You have so much to tell them, but they are only interested in small doses. As time passes, they will listen to your whole story."
Several students chimed in to relate their experiences with reverse culture shock. They told of how resuming home and college life was both normal and weird at the same time. Observers at the meeting, however, understood what was happening.
"They have changed so much," said Magdalena Pala, a professor in the chemistry Department and co-director of the Semester Abroad: Europe program. "They have so much more maturity and confidence."
Kerry Keen, a professor in the plant and earth science department and future group leader, said the benefit of studying abroad for such a long time is one of being together as a community and also experiencing the global community at the same time. "They have so much positive energy, and they obviously enjoy being together. There really is a family feel to the group."
The Semester Abroad: Europe program has existed at UW-River Falls since 1963. Started by the late sociology Professor Robert Bailey while the university was on the quarter-term system, today's lengthened program focuses on independent study and research by students in a European country for the semester's duration.
Participants begin preparing during spring semester of the previous year. They attended a weekly seminar during the semester to learn about living, traveling and working in Europe.
Then they identify and develop a study project to conduct when they arrive in Europe at the start of fall semester. Working with faculty from their chosen fields of study, the students come up with ideas for projects and develop contacts in a European country of their choice, where they will conduct their projects.
For example, Kyle Taysom, a dairy science major from Arcadia, Wis., worked with Professor Paolo Berzaghi at the University of Padova in Italy to develop on-farm methods of analyzing nutrient content of forages using near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS). Taysom got in contact with Bergzaghi through Dairyland Labs, a Wisconsin-based forage testing business. Taysom's UWRF project advisor is Gary Onan, a professor in the animal and food fcience department.
Angela Young, an art major from Merrill, Wis., studied lithography and printmaking at a studio in Edinburgh, Scotland. She also traveled to the Netherlands and Germany to study the works of three famous printmakers: Rembrandt, Kathe Kollwitz, and Albrecht Durer. Young's UWRF project advisor is Lynn Jermal, a professor in the art department.
The group selected a total of nine countries in which to work on their projects. Afterward, during the last month of the semester, the students had the opportunity to travel around Europe at their own discretion. Some traveled alone; others traveled together or were joined by friends or relatives from home.
Cooper accompanied the group to Europe and remained there throughout the semester, meeting with each student individually at their project sites and with the group at the beginning, middle and end of the semester.
"Semester Abroad: Europe is one of the best ways for CAFES students to participate in an international program at UWRF," said Cooper. "Other semester-long programs at UWRF, such Wisconsin in Scotland or the International Traveling Classroom, are great, but have a more interdisciplinary focus. SAE allows students to work within their majors."
According to Cooper, however, not all students will prefer the self-directed SAE experience and may seek more structure in a global education program. "This program requires students who are adventurous, self-reliant, responsible, disciplined and dependable," he said. "This is a very unstructured program, so students need to be able to perform independently."
Students should also be interested in, and open to, experiencing other cultures and countries, and they should be interested and curious about some in-depth aspect of their major field of study.
The 2007 group of students who will spend next fall semester in Europe has started meeting in Chalmer Davee Library. Brad Gee, the library's head of reference and instruction, Cooper's assistant group leader in 2006 and currently co-director of the SAE program, will lead the 2007 group.
And Cooper's distinction as being the only CAFES professor ever to lead a group will be short-lived. The next two group leaders after Gee will be Keen and Ian Williams, a professor in the plant and earth science department.
According to Cooper, more UWRF students should look into the opportunities offered by the SAE program.
"It's one of the most profound, unique, and exciting educational experiences a student can get anywhere. Students owe it to themselves to consider taking advantage of this tremendous opportunity."

GAITHERSBURG, Md. and WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, September 22, 2009, The HealthWell Foundation, one of America's largest co-payment assistance organizations, hosted a panel discussion to help draw attention to the growing crisis of the underinsured and the related challenges of reducing financial barriers to care.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090930/NY84016LOGO)
Held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, "Health Care in America: What About the Underinsured" featured a panel of highly-esteemed industry stakeholders, each representing a different perspective in the health care debate. Jonathan Cohn, Senior Editor of the New Republic and author of Sick: The Untold Story of America's Health Care Crisis - and the People Who Pay the Price, moderated the discussion, which presented the views of a wide range of stakeholders, from business to labor and patient to provider.
"While I used to say you're only one job loss away from financial ruin because of a medical catastrophe, now I say that you're one job loss or one diagnosis away from financial ruin," said Cohn. "And I think the good news is that this recognition has entered our policy debate."
Panelists included Stephen Finan, Senior Director of Policy for the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network; Lowell Schnipper, M.D., of Harvard Medical School and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Massachusetts; David Hom, formerly of Pitney Bowes and now of Solucia Well; John McDonough, who is working with the Senate HELP Committee on heath care reform issues; and HealthWell Foundation beneficiary Virginia Pivik, a breast cancer survivor who credits her recovery to the financial assistance she received from the HealthWell Foundation. Each emphasized the dire need for a re

In what could create fissures in the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance, former BJP president Nitin Gadkari today met the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray at a hotel here.
Earlier in the day, when reports of the meeting emerged, city BJP chief Ashish Shelar denied them on twitter. However, a source in BJP, close to Gadkari, said the meeting did take place. "Yes, Gadkari met Raj Thackeray at the Four Seasons hotel in Worli. They had a lunch together. As the two are friends, they discussed various things, including the current political situation," the source told PTI.
Nitinji & Raj are accessible people and they met each other for a discussion on Congress Free India.
— ashish shelar (@ShelarAshish) March 3, 2014
In the past the state BJP leadership had tried to woo Raj Thackeray. Shiv Sena, led by Raj's estranged cousin Uddhav, had indicated that it was not happy with the attempt to bring MNS into the saffron alliance. the party today refused to react. "We have nothing to say on the meeting," Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut said.
Gadkari is known to enjoy a good rapport with Raj. Last month he attended with Raj, the ground-breaking ceremony of Goda Park, a riverbank beautification project of Nashik Municipal Corporation where MNS is in power with the support of BJP.
Meanwhile, speaking to media later in the evening, Gadkari said, "I discussed with the MNS chief the ways to get rid of the Congress government." "There is no reason for Uddhav Thackeray to be annoyed over my meeting Raj...I meet everybody including the Congress people," he said.
Asked if Sharad Pawar-led NCP will come over to NDA after the elections, Gadkari said it is said anything can happen in cricket and politics. "We are confident of getting a clear majority on our own," the BJP leader added.

The Columbia City Park Board held its monthly meeting Monday with Park Director Mark Green providing several updates.
The future of Burnworth Pool was the topic of considerable discussion.
A pool committee has been organized to determine a proposed objective and/or assignment for the future of the facility. A survey was conducted by the committee which resulted in numerous recommendations.
A fight against a proposed rate increase at the Tri-Lakes Sewer District has gone to the next level.
A petition was filed this week in Whitley Circuit Court which requested the court review the past proceedings involved with the rate increase and dismiss the sewer rate ordinance passed by the sewer district's board in June.
Included in the petition is also a request to dismiss the vote by the two-person sewer district authority board, which held a hearing in mid-August about the proposed rate increase.
