This past summer, the Anderson University School of Music, Theatre, and Dance sent faculty to Shenyang, China, for the first time. Dr. Jeffrey Wright, dean of the College of the Arts, Gert Kumi, assistant professor of music, and Li Li, an adjunct string instruments professor, spent a week at the Shenyang Conservatory of Music (SYCM).
"I'm from Shenyang, China," said Li Li. "I went to the attached high school of Shenyang Conservatory of Music, which is a prep school only for music majors." Her father is a renowned viola professor in China and still teaches at Shenyang Conservatory.
Shenyang is a city in China with a population of 8 million people. Li Li planned the trip for two purposes. "One was to recruit more string students for AU; secondly, I wanted to make a long-term connection between AU and SYCM from this very important trip," said Li Li.
The three AU faculty members were welcomed by SYCM, and Hui Lui, the president of the school, held a reception in their honor. "Our trip to the Shenyang Conservatory was a fabulous experience," said Wright. "We were welcomed so warmly and treated so well by all of the students and faculty that we met."

The AU professors taught several master classes for both the college and high school divisions. "The students of SYCM were exquisite, and they took the master classes very seriously," said Kumi. "I loved working with the students. They were so receptive of our teachings."
At the end of the trip, a concert took place. "The best part was performing the concert with the SYCM student orchestra," said Li Li. Hui Lui then held a special meeting with Wright, talking about the importance of this trip and further communication and possible collaboration between the two schools.
"Recruitment is a long term goal," said Kumi. "We would like to recruit students and faculty from China to come study at AU."
With positive feedback from the SYCM students and Hui Lui taking steps to further communication for possible collaboration, progress toward this goal has already begun.
"Our AU faculty members did a tremendous job of teaching and performing, and we laid the foundation for a strong relationship between AU and the Shenyang Conservatory," said Wright. "We look forward to building and expanding that relationship in the coming years."
The takeaway from the trip was much deeper for the AU faculty than just going overseas to teach. "I think the most important part for me was that I truly felt that music has no boundaries and is the best way to connect everyone's hearts," said Li Li. "When we were talking about music, it felt like everyone understood each other. The experience was overwhelming, and I think my colleagues felt the same way."

While all eyes in the Senate are on the ongoing immigration debate, the House has a handful of committee hearings of interest. The "changing landscape of patent law" brought on by the American Invents Act and its "effects on small firms" are the focus of a Small Business Committee hearing. Topics covered in other hearings include: small business and pass-through entity tax reform; data centers and the cloud; copyright principles; and Keystone XL and small business job growth.
Each year, 552,000 employer firms open in the U.S. and a fairly stable percentage grow rapidly to become companies that 'matter.' According to a new paper from Kauffman Foundation senior fellow Paul Kedrosky, anywhere from 125 to 250 U.S. companies per year reach $100 million in revenues—the first of three criteria that he uses to determine if they matter. In addition to being scalable, the firms must be able to generate jobs quickly and broadly and they must be disproportionate creators of wealth (through profits and salaries as well as through equity). So where do most of these firms emerge?
'Entrepreneur visas' aren't only being discussed in Washington, DC. Recently, French President Francois Hollande announced a series of measures aimed at jump-starting entrepreneurial growth that included capital gains tax reforms, support services for SMEs and entrepreneur visas for those looking to launch and grow startups in the country.
Global interest in the emerging entrepreneurial economies of Latin America has been on the rise. It is where Endeavor began—launching in Chile and Argentina in 1997—and more recently, the region's vibrant cultures have led the likes of Geeks on a Plane and the Global Entrepreneurship Congress to take a closer look. This spring we report back from a few economies in the region.
How often do you get more than 70% of self-professed conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats to agree? Apparently, when the topic is immigration reform and you ask about a proposal that includes "a pathway to citizenship, allowing more high-skilled workers and guest workers into the country, increasing border security and creating employer verification requirements." Those are the core elements of the Gang of Eight proposal (S.744: Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act) being pushed by a bi-partisan group of U.S. senators.
Last week, confidence on Wall Street was sent soaring to all-time highs following the April jobs report from the U.S. Department of Labor—employers added 165,000 jobs for the month and unemployment fell to its lowest point since the end of 2008. The confidence of entrepreneurs is on the rise as well according to the latest Startup Confidence Index.
Returning to Washington after a state / district work period, Congress picks up the immigration issue with a few hearings. The Joint Economic Committee has a two-part hearing on "Immigration and Its Contribution to Our Economic Strength" with witnesses from Americans for Tax Reform, Georgetown Public Policy Institute, Center for Immigration Studies and the American Enterprise Institute. The topic is also picked up in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation as it examines potential reforms suggested by the 'Gang of Eight'. Meanwhile, other hearings are scheduled to cover support of minority women entrepreneurs, regulatory burdens and health insurance fees on small businesses, and exports to Africa.
With the 'digital revolution' in full swing and technological innovation advancing daily, the creative industries are expanding. However, the policies that guide the creative economy are too often outdated and based on business models that have been virtually swept away. Nesta, a UK-based foundation focused on innovation, has come up with a set of policy recommendations to guide the UK—and possibly serve as at least a discussion starter for other countries.
I first visited the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology in Ghana when it first opened in 2008. It was impressive then and it has continued to impress since—helping incubate promising tech startups throughout the country. Five years later, it is part of a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem in Accra that is laying the foundation for future growth. In our final commentary on Africa, we hear from Alicia Robb, senior fellow at the Kauffman Foundation, who has just returned from Ghana about her thoughts on the progress being made.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.

Junior Docents, volunteers from grades 3 through 7, will be stationed at each stop on the tour, including the taproom, bedchambers, ballroom, assembly room and dining room, so families can tour at their own pace.
At the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum, treat the woman who took care of you to a tour of the place that took care of Alexandrians! Mom will enjoy the outstanding collection of medicinal herbs and botanicals, shop furnishings, apothecary bottles and equipment, many still in their original location. Be sure to look at the order for castor oil placed by Martha Washington in 1802!
Mothers and grandmothers can tour both museums for free! Admission is $5 for all other adults and $3 for children (ages 5-12). Gadsby's Tavern Museum is located at 134 North Royal Street, and the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum is located at 105-107 South Fairfax Street.

Health Information Technology
The health information management profession focuses on health care data and the management of health care information resources. The profession addresses the nature, structure and translation of data into usable forms of information for the advancement of health and health care of individuals and populations.
Health Information Technicians collect, integrate, and analyze primary and secondary health care data, disseminate information and manage information resources related to research, planning, provision and evaluation of health care services.
At Texas State Technical College Harlingen, HIT students learn skills in both classroom and laboratory settings. Skills are practiced in health care facilities during two directed practice courses. Students are trained as generalists with entry level skills and opportunities for specialization in the following areas: coders, utilization management technicians, medical statistic specialists, release of information technicians, health record analysts, quality assurance abstractors, and health record consultants.
During the final directed practice course, students will be eligible to take the National Certification Examination to become a Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT). Upon graduation of the six-semester program, graduates are awarded an Associate of Applied Science Degree.
The job outlook for Health Information Technicians is good. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics is predicting a shortfall of these technicians. The starting salary for entry level positions depends on the area of specialization, with coders earning at the higher end of the scale.
The Health Information Technology Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education in cooperation with the Council on Education of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).

Does God Want You to Be Raped?
You gotta love these heartland Republicans. From a Blue state point of view, the kinds of things that Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, Todd Akin, et al. have been saying are so eye-rollingly over the top that they seem designed precisely to keep Comedy Central and MSNBC in business.
You know what I'm talking about, right? Akin started our heads spinning when he mansplained that if a woman gets pregnant, it couldn't have been legitimate rape—because a woman's bodies can only wash in those little swimmers if she was hot to trot to begin with. In this week's installment of repro rights funnies, Mourdock explained on television that he was against abortion, even in the cases of rape and incest because:
I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God. ... And I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.
The choking-on-thin-air sounds started immediately from women all over the country, amplified by Twitter. That man did not just say that God intended for me to be raped!
No, I don't think he did. Honestly, I think he means that God somehow intended the new life—not the rape—and that the rape, well, that was terrible, but get over it. You know, the way Sharon Angle said that women should make lemons from lemonade, and all that. Love the baby, not the sin. But understanding what he meant is very, very far from excusing his belief that women should just lie back and think of England if they're colonized by an unexpected invader.
As Irin Carmon writes over at Salon today, "Dear everyone asking what it is about Republican candidates and their clumsy talk about rape: This is a feature, not a bug." Really. Mourdock, Akin, Walsh, Angle—all of them are simply saying straightforwardly what they and many other people around them believe. They're articulating the conventional wisdom in their echo chambers, without softening it down. It only sounds shocking to us left-of-center types because we're protected in our own echo chambers. They believe that if women are going to spread their legs, they deserve to get pregnant. They believe that most of what you and I would call rape today is just some slut who got angry because the dude didn't take her out to breakfast the next morning. Here's a recent quote I found in Jessica Valenti's incredibly timely commentary on current attitudes toward sexual assault in The Nation, "Ending Rape Illiteracy":
As Tennessee Senator Douglas Henry said in 2008, "Rape, ladies and gentlemen, is not today what rape was. Rape, when I was learning these things, was the violation of a chaste woman, against her will, by some party not her spouse."
In other words, only virgins can be raped—sweetly white-gloved, white-skinned virgins, in case we're not clear. Any woman who ever wanted sex—yes, that includes married women who unconditionally give permission when they put on that ring—deserves what she gets. Valenti's piece is a brilliant and absolutely essential manifesto on what still has to change to get from "What about 'no' don't you understand?" to the more advanced concept that women have a right to enjoy and control our own bodies. Here's more from her must-read piece, which, if there is no justice in the world, better be anthologized in a thousand women's studies textbooks and used as a handbook by women's groups:
What feminists should do in response to bad policy and legislation has been clear cut—and successful. When the GOP tried to pass an anti-abortion measure last year that would redefine rape only as an assault that was "forcible," feminists groups immediately took action. Thanks to national organizations, online activism and a clever Twitter campaign, the language was taken out of the bill. Feminists also won a campaign to push the FBI to change their outdated definition of rape, language dating from 1929 that said sexual assault was "the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will."
But how we change the culture is a hurdle we haven't properly tackled. Feminism's major cultural successes around rape have occurred on a micro level—taking on individual television shows or products. And, for the most part, our cultural work has been reactionary—we're constantly on the defensive, whether it's trying to fight back against victim-blaming headlines or offensive rape jokes.
There's more, and it's all worth reading.
But Mourdock's shocking comment was only partly about rape. It's also about abortion—i.e. When is abortion legitimate? Maybe it's time to go back a couple of decades and say: any time a woman wants it. I could just be cranky today, but I'm getting sick of defending the idea that woman are and can be independent actors. We are subjects, not holding vessels. No woman owes anyone else the use of her reproductive equipment—not the entryway, and not the inner chambers. For those first few months, that little blastocyst or embryo has no absolute claim on existenceˆunless the woman actively wants to carry it until it's an actual person. When there's a conflict between actual and potential life, I'm on the side of the independently breathing person every time.

Honestly, I think he means that God somehow intended the new life—not the rape—and that the rape, well, that was terrible, but get over it.
But the 'new life', such as it is ,is a direct consequence of the rape. That's pretty sloppy work from an omnipotent all powerful God.
Funny how the God of social conservatives is just like them. Irresponsible, violent, and with a real hatred of women.
Wed, 2012-10-24 16:04
Sun, 2012-10-28 22:55
If you want to talk about "pretty sloppy work," don't use "omnipotent all powerful" as though they don't mean the same thing.
It's adjectivally "irresponsible."
Just one more reason libs ought to stay away from the God stuff.
Try brushing up on your English before you tackle theology.
Wed, 2012-10-24 16:59
Alright, just my 2 cents.
I completely, wholeheartedly disagree with the (absurd) notion that a woman only gets pregnant if she's 'into it'. Same with the notion that a woman hasn't been raped if she's sexually active, or if it's done by her husband or significant other.
And I think that abortion should be an option available at hospitals for women who have been raped or victims of incest (still rape, no?), but more than that, the morning after pill should be more readily available so that women aren't having to have a doctor performing any procedures through their vaginas when they've been so recently violated.
That said, I also think that our sex education programs are failing our students in one big area. Sex produces babies. Always has, always will. Yes, we can use contraceptives to prevent it (with 1 baby conceived per 100 users, even with perfect use), but if we know that teenagers (and many adults) use contraceptives incorrectly, why aren't we telling them that they should wait to have sex until their ready to accept all the responsibilities it can entail? We'd certainly have a lot fewer abortions (and less to debate) if we could agree that sex is more than just a good time.
Wed, 2012-10-24 17:46
Oh finally, another woman that agrees with the thinking - you can have an abortion. Period. Not have an abortion because you were raped, or because of incest. Just have an abortion. Women don't need to explain their reasons. I know I will take a lot of heat for this, but that's okay! Fact is, even when abortions were illegal, they were still going on. Why can't people understand this? Just because you take away a woman's right to abortion, it's not going to make abortions stop. It's beyond religious, personal, humanitarian beliefs.
Since we know abortion won't stop, why can't we guarantee any woman that wants an abortion is entitled to a safe, legal procedure? Come on. The number won't go down...but the death total will go up.
Time for everyone to open their eyes and actually research the HISTORY of abortion, not just the procedure. It's been going on for a long, long time.

A comment and a question.
Comment: Honestly, the question of whether God's will is involved in anything at all -- did God want the Union to win the Civil War? did God want the Civil Rights Act passed? did Got want Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated? -- is a pretty big one. It's so big it's actually ill-served by addressing it in this context. Mr. Mourdock believes he knows the answer, and for all I know, he may be right. If Ms. Graff has an answer she believes, I suspect it's the opposite of Mr. Mourdock's, but whatever it is, she may well be right. Personally, I don't know the answer and I doubt any human being does or ever will. In other words, there are things we know we don't know. Let's not pretend otherwise.
The question: The quote, "Rape, when I was learning these things, was the violation of a chaste woman, against her will, by some party not her spouse." is followed by the clarification, "In other words, only virgins can be raped—sweetly white-gloved, white-skinned virgins, in case we're not clear."
I'm "not clear" at all.
Where did the "white-skinned" part come from?
Wed, 2012-10-24 21:42
If God is all good why would He accept evil. Forcing the woman to carrying a child to term is justifying evil and allowing the man to do as he wishes. That's almost the same as what is allowed in the villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan via tribal custom. It too has nothing to do with God nor the Koran. Just as the Bible does not justify rape--in either the New or Old Testaments.
Thu, 2012-10-25 13:28
"...that it is something that God intended to happen." - Senate candidate Richard Mourdock
Putting aside the subject the mansplainer is discussing for a moment, that he is professing knowledge of God's intent in the course of a political campaign, should disqualify him from office.
The whole idea of knowing the Creator's intent has gotten way out of hand. The public seems to eat it up, though. Look at Michelle Bachmann and her constituency.
Thu, 2012-10-25 15:37
The problem is not claiming to know what God wants. The problem is existence and spread of Christianity and the awful Bible. If the author of this article was so offended by these statements, then why doesn't she point out the source of these arguments is the Bible itself. Conservative politicians wouldn't espouse backwards beliefs if they didn't hold backwards beliefs-namely, Christianity.

FYI, the word "chaste" does NOT imply virginity, except on or before a woman's first wedding day. All it means is a woman only has sexual relations with men she is married to. So the Senator's remark that "Rape, when I was learning these things, was the violation of a chaste woman, against her will, by some party not her spouse" was not an assertion that only virgins could be raped.
The concept of "spousal rape" is actually fairly new as it didn't exist in law in much of the USA until a few decades ago. Sure, denying the concept of spousal rape is horrid for 2008, but probably not for when the Senator was a child. Similarly, the open acceptance of sex outside of wedlock is again a development of the past few decades. 60 years ago such things would not be openly discussed in polite company. The problem with most of these politicians is that they've adopted a morality from the 19th century for use within the 21st century. What we need is a good time machine to send them back to live where their moral beliefs are the norm.

LAGalaxy.com's Paolo Ferrari wraps up the festitivies from the LA Galaxy Foundation Golf Tournament with this "Galaxy Insider" video where I break down the tournament and showcase a little of my own golfing skills -- or lack thereof.
Check it out below.
Robbie Keane has returned to full training ahead of Ireland's World Cup qualifying match against Kazakhstan and Ireland manager Noel King is hopeful that he'll be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday.
Keane was unable to make the squad for Ireland's 2-0 defeat to Germany last Friday after suffering an ankle injury in training during the buildup to the match. However, the LA Galaxy captain and Ireland's all-time leading goal scorer returned to full training on Sunday and King believes that he'll be ready for Tuesday's World Cup qualifying finale in Dublin.
"I am hoping he is fit for selection. Robbie is still recovering," King told reporters.
If Keane does play, it'll be a good sign for the Galaxy as they'll need their captain back and ready for selection by Sunday's vital match against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Robbie Keane resumed full training today with the squad in Malahide, while Richard Dunne and John O'Shea returned from suspension. #IrlKaz

International Update: Ankle issue forces Keane from Germany match, Donovan goes 45 and Penedo's Panama fall
Below is a round up of how Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan and Jaime Penedo fared on international duty on Friday.
*Robbie Keane was unable to suit up for Ireland's 3-0 defeat to Germany after picking up an ankle injury earlier in the week. The 3-0 defeat eliminated Ireland from World Cup contention. Keane and Ireland will finish World Cup qualifying on Tuesday against Kazakhstan in Dublin.
*Landon Donovan went 45 minutes during the U.S. National Team's 2-0 victory over Jamaica at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. Graham Zusi and Jozy Altidore scored in the victory over the Jamaicans as the U.S. sealed the top spot in the Hexagonal. After the match, U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann told reporters that Donovan's removal was "performance based." The U.S. will close out the Hex in Panama on Tuesday, but Donovan will not be joining them due to an ankle injury.
*The hopes of Jaime Penedo's Panama were placed on life support on Friday as Los Canaleros fell 2-1 on Raul Jimenez's dramatic bicycle-kick finish in the waning moments of the game. Penedo was not without his heroics as he saved a Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez penalty kick late in the second half (video is below). All is not lost for Penedo as Panama can still earn a berth in the two-leg World Cup playoff if they defeat the U.S. and Mexico falls to Costa Rica in a match where it fails to score two goals or more.
Think Panama can qualify? Will Keane play against Kazakhstan?
Share your thoughts below.
Landon Donovan is heading back to the LA Galaxy from U.S. National Team duty, U.S. Soccer announced on Saturday afternoon.
According to U.S. Soccer, Donovan picked up an ankle injury during the first half of the U.S. 2-0 victory over Jamaica on Friday at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan.
"Landon is still struggling with the ankle injury from a couple weeks ago, so he will go back to Los Angeles and try to get back to 100 percent," said Klinsmann in a release.
On Friday, U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann had stated that Donovan was removed from the match with Jamaica due to a "performance-based decision." Donovan wasn't the only change as Klinsmann also released Tim Howard, Jermaine Jones, and Sporting Kansas City's Matt Besler while calling in Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson.
Donovan and Omar Gonzalez—who was released from national team duty last week with a hip injury—will face a fitness test ahead of Wednesday's match against the Montreal Impact. If Donovan does participate on Wednesday, he'll have a chance to break Jeff Cunningham's all-time MLS Regular Season goal scoring record.
In the latest edition of MLS Insider, the program tells the story of Jose Villarreal and Jimmy Conrad catches up with Landon Donovan.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. – The LA Galaxy took some time from the grind of the playoff hunt on Friday to hit the links at Trump International Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes for the Galaxy Foundation Golf Tournament.
The tournament allowed the players to interact with fans and team sponsors alike and allowed several to test their own skills out on the links—yes even me, but we won't get into that just yet. Throughout the day, I was driving around in a golf cart taking in the sights and sounds of the event, below is just a small snippet of all the fun.

Jurgen Klinsmann added three names to the U.S. National Team's roster for their October World Cup qualifiers on Thursday while also sending injured Eddie Johnson back to Seattle Sounders FC.
Klinsmann added Brad Davis, Clarence Goodson and Chris Wondolowski to the squad while also removing Johnson from the squad due to a left groin strain suffered in training on Wednesday. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday. With the additions, the squad is now at 22 players ahead of their matches against Jamaica on Friday and Panama on Oct. 15.
Think these additions lead to Landon Donovan returning to the LA Galaxy after the USMNT's match against Jamaica?
Share your thoughts below.
MLSsoccer.com's Jimmy Conrad spoke to Landon Donovan for the upcoming episode of MLS Insider, which will air on Friday.
A sneak peak is below...
The race for playoff berths in the wild, wild, Western Conference will go down to the wire.
No teams qualified for the postseason on Wednesday as Vancouver Whitecaps FC smashed second place Seattle Sounders FC 4-1 at CenturyLink Field powered by a hat trick by Kekuta Manneh. With the result, the Whitecaps keep their dreams of the postseason on life support as they sit just three points behind a playoff berth. Speaking of keeping hopes alive, the Earthquakes moved to within one point of a fifth place with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids as Chris Wondolowski notched his seventh game-winning-goal of the season.
With Wednesday's results, the gap between West leaders Real Salt Lake and sixth place San Jose is just points. The LA Galaxy currently sit four points behind first place RSL with a game in hand. As for the gap between fourth place and the seventh spot? Just three points.
Out in the Eastern Conference, Sporting Kansas City and the Houston Dynamo played to a cagey scoreless draw. Sporting are now one point behind Supporters' Shield leaders New York Red Bulls for the top spot in the league—and the East.
Think the LA Galaxy have a chance to finish in first in the West?

Jeff Cunningham speaks to MLSsoccer.com about sharing the MLS goal scoring record with Landon Donovan
Landon Donovan is on the brink of breaking Jeff Cunningham's all-time MLS regular season goal scoring record, but what does the man whose mark is about be broken think of the LA Galaxy forward's accomplishment.
Cunningham, who scored 134 goals while making 365 appearances during his 14-year career in MLS while playing for six teams, spoke to MLSsoccer.com's Jeff Bradley earlier this week about the goal scoring record. When asked about how he felt when Donovan tied his record, Cunningham handled the question with grace, mentioning his humble upbringings back in Jamaica.
"If you know my background, I grew up in Jamaica playing barefoot. My goal was to play professional. And now you're asking me, interviewing me about being the all-time leading scorer, in a league that has produced many great players," said Cunningham to Bradley. "And now I'm going to be passed by one of the best players in US soccer history. That's a pretty good story. I'm proud of where I am, and what I've accomplished. I'm honored. To be asked these questions, to be mentioned alongside Landon Donovan, I'm humbled."
But does Cunningham any words for Donovan as he prepares to pass him on the league's all-time goal scoring chart?
"Landon, Landon, Landon ... you have every record in the US. Why couldn't you just let me have this one?" Cunningham joked.
"No, really, I'm honored to be up there with him. I think the world of him and for me to be mentioned with him, that's not too shabby, my friend."

The current exhibition at The Lyceum, "Patriotic and Public Spirited" Commemorative Wares in George Washington's Hometown, has been extended through Sunday, July 31. The exhibition opened in November and features commemorative ceramic wares that reflect the Alexandria community's keen interest in current and historic events.
Inspiration for the title of the current exhibition came from a column in The Local News, an Alexandria newspaper published during the Civil War, which asserted, "The people of Alexandria were always patriotic and public spirited." Indeed, Alexandria has prided itself on being the hometown of George Washington and Robert E. Lee, and historic events such as George Washington's Birthnight Ball and Lafayette's 1824 visit to Alexandria were cause for great celebration. A variety of commemorative ceramic wares recovered from archaeological excavations or preserved in collections shows the community's interest in events and historic places of local and national significance. These artifacts provide a tangible link to many generations of "patriotic and public spirited" Alexandrians.
Among the highlights of the "Patriotic and Public Spirited" exhibition are several artifacts commemorating George Washington, like the creamware pitcher produced shortly after his death and recovered from an excavation in the 400 block of King Street that features his likeness and reads "He in Glory, America in Tears." Many pieces produced after the War of 1812 capture America's patriotism and hope for prosperity, like a pearlware plate with an American eagle and enamel-painted shield, and a cameo jasper decoration on a pitcher depicting hands clasped in friendship with the expression "Peace & Plenty."
"Patriotic and Public Spirited" is a collaborative effort between Alexandria Archaeology and The Lyceum and was adapted from Barbara H. Magid's article "Commemorative Wares in George Washington's Hometown," which appeared in the 2006 Ceramics in America. An archaeologist and ceramics expert, Magid retired from the City of Alexandria in 2010 after 30 years of service with Alexandria Archaeology.
The Lyceum, Alexandria's History Museum, is located at 201 South Washington Street in Old Town Alexandria and is open Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Suggested admission is $2, and free off-street parking is available.

From the liberal blog ironically named Crooks and Liars:
Not that this will matter to the congressional Republicans, whose agenda is not actually improving the economy nor listening to economists, the wealthiest 2%, or any other American, come to that. But the country's wealthiest men, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, dismiss the calls of Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans and say that the wealthy SHOULD pay more taxes.
Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, said that the rich should be paying more taxes and that the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy should be left to expire at the end of December.
"If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further," Buffett said. "But I think that people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it."
The billionaire brushed aside Republican arguments that letting tax cuts expire for the wealthy would hurt economic growth.
"They say you have to keep those tax cuts, even on the very wealthy, because that is what energizes business and capitalism," anchor Amanpour said.
"The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on," Buffett explained.
Read the rest here
Let me get this straight, billionaires feel like they can spare a few million more bucks via an increase in their tax rate and they want to take people making $250,000 with them? Brilliant.
Generally speaking, someone making a billion dollars will see their tax bill rise by $40 million. Their $250,000 counterpart will see a rise of $7,500.
At some point one does have so much money that the only way it can possibly be spent is by finding more creative ways to use it, such as stufifng for pillows, or toilet paper, or donating it to a charity that provides kindling for the fireplaces of rich people.
The point is someone with $40 million less of a billion dollars can STILL get everything they need and everything they don't need too, but a $7,500 hit to a family making $250,000 has a major impact on financial planning and the ability to save and pay for major life issues ranging from education to retirement.
To lump the two together like Crooks and Liars does (enabled by money bubbleheads like Buffett) shows an intellectual bankruptcy even Joe Biden could bail out.
If Buffet wants to be so cavalier about having an additional $40 million to burn why doesn't he give it to more philanthropy?
Why not eliminate the welfare middle man and just bring 160 homeless families up to his tax bracket?
Or better yet, if HE thinks HE can spare the money for higher taxes then HE can pay a higher rate while the rest of us can stay at the current one. Nobody is stopping him from cutting THAT check.
Maybe he wants the force of law because he doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to pay that much more voluntarily. Fine, I call on the new GOP congress to enact the new tax bracket for anyone who thinks the government is shortchanging itself when it comes to having their money confiscated.
We'll call it the PB & J Tax. I've already figured out the perfect ad for it...

Haye is making it harder and harder for me to keep rooting for him when he acts like an arrogant prick like today. I'm almost starting to side with Klitschko now.
Posted 09 May 2011 - 23:54
Would be nice to see another undisputed heavyweight champion again. Lennox Lewis was the last one. Although if Haye beats Wladimir, and then goes on to beat Vitali, I bet he'll retire after that. Either that, or just one more fight after Vitali.
And he isn't even really unifying anything. He still has to beat his brother for the remaining belt. Oh boxing
Posted 10 May 2011 - 00:19
It wouldn't really matter because the organizations would still be separate entities and it's against their financial interests to have an undisputed champion. They would weasel something out or just ask Haye to retire. And since they all have a lot of clout, they can keep going. Also sometimes these guys fight and don't put all their belts on the line like Manny who only put one of his collection of belts on the line against Mosley.

Britain's David Haye has continued the war of words with Wladimir Klitschko, criticising his opponent's fighting style and blaming him for "killing" the heavyweight division.
Haye will face Klitschko at the Imtech Arena in Germany on 2 July.
"I believe Wladimir Klitschko is solely responsible for killing the heavyweight division," said Haye at a news conference in London on Tuesday.
"He is manufactured and boring, that is why he needs to be eradicated."
But Klitschko hit back, vowing to knock out Haye when the pair meet in the ring.
"It will be an enjoyable night for me," said Klitschko, who has 49 knockouts from 58 fights.
"He has called me a bum, but he will be number 50 on the KO list."
It was the second news conference in two days for the pair as they work to promote a bout that will go some way towards unifying the world heavyweight title.
Haye, the WBA title holder, used the first news conference on Monday in Germany to label IBF and WBO champion Klitschko a "fraud" and the 30-year-old continued his tirade in London on Tuesday.
"We had our first public face-to-face on Monday and people said I was subdued," said Haye.
"It's unlike me, but the reason for this is because I am concentrating all my efforts on training so I can beat him conclusively and explosively.
"This could potentially be my last fight and I want to be superhuman on the night and make sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed. I want to be in perfect shape."
Klitschko accused Haye of lacking respect on Monday and the Londoner was in no mood to change the Ukrainian's opinion, again refusing to shake his opponent's hand during Tuesday's news conference.
"Maybe I don't have respect or class: we are two animals, two dogs in a fight, I'm a dog you can't control. I am a prime fighting machine," said Haye.
"He made some joke about my Twitter page... he's trying to come up with jokes and his personality is exactly how he fights - boring.
"That is exactly why he needs to be eradicated from the heavyweight division.
"Jab, jab, grab. Jab, jab, grab - that's all he does. On fight night his circuits will be blown.
"He's too slow, he's coming to a gun fight unarmed and he is going to get destroyed."
But 35-year-old Klitschko, who has lost three times in 58 fights, countered: "I will show you that you are no different to the other 49 people I have knocked out."

Nathan Cleverly's challenge for the WBO light-heavyweight title has been called off after champion Juergen Braehmer suffered an eye injury in training.
Braehmer, 32, was due to face Cleverly, 24, at London's 02 Arena on Saturday, but a cut eye suffered in training on 8 May has failed to heal.
The German won the WBO belt in 2009 and has made one defence but could now be stripped of his title.
If so, Cleverly - the interim champion - will be awarded the title by default.
Cleverly, who won the interim title in December after beating Nadjib Mohammedi on points, is unbeaten in 21 fights and was disappointed to see the fight called off.
"I am absolutely devastated, this was the fight I really wanted, I've been gunning for him for over a year now," Cleverly told Sky Sports.
"He is the champion, it is very unprofessional, he has ducked out of the fight as far as I'm concerned, the proof is now there that he doesn't want to fight me.
"Maybe I'll be elevated to the world champion and as far as I'm concerned I'm still going to be fighting on Saturday and my celebrations will start after that fight.
"I wanted this fight bad and he has let everyone down. I knew he didn't want the fight, I had a feeling he would not turn up. This is a major disappointment. He is an awesome fighter, he is getting paid well, why not come over and take the fight?"
The 02 Arena card will still go ahead, with the joint headline fight between British super-middleweight champion James DeGale and fierce rival George Groves the bigger draw anyway. It is still hoped that unbeaten Welshman Cleverly will fight on Saturday but his opponent is unknown.
Any fight for Cleverly on Saturday could be the first defence of his title.
Braehmer last fought in April 2010 and has 29 knockouts from 36 wins with two defeats.
Since that last fight the 32-year-old was involved in a long-running court case that could have seen him jailed for 16 months for assault and insulting behaviour.
But Braehmer was cleared this year following an appeal meaning the German kept his WBO title.
His stock is already low due having only defended his belt once since winning it in 2009 while also pulling out of a January unification fight with Beibut Shumenov.
Cleverly's father and trainer Vince led the calls for Braehmer to be stripped of his title but maintained the Cefn Forest fighter would still be well prepared for any fight on Saturday.
"We will offer no excuses and Nathan will be ready to fight," he added.

It looks like Juan Manuel Marquez will get his long-awaited third fight with pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com that he made a deal with Marquez on Tuesday in Los Angeles for the lightweight champion to move up in weight to challenge Pacquiao for his welterweight title on Nov. 12.
Arum, however, still needs to make a deal with Pacquiao -- considered a formality -- before the fight is official.
If the fight is finalized, they would meet at a contract weight of 144 pounds, Arum said. Although the weight is three pounds below the welterweight division limit of 147, that isn't an issue.
"Manny has to eat extra meals just to weigh even 145 pounds," Arum said.
Pacquiao regularly weighs below 147 for his fights, and Marquez would be moving up from the 135-pound division. In 2009, in his only other welterweight fight, Marquez lost a lopsided decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr., who most would like to see Pacquiao face. Most believe it would be the biggest money fight in boxing history, but Mayweather has repeatedly declined the fight.
Barring a gargantuan offer elsewhere, Pacquiao-Marquez Round III will be at Las Vegas' MGM Grand, where Pacquiao-Marquez Round I took place and where Pacquiao scored an easy decision against Shane Mosley on May 7.
With the Pacquiao fight on the line, Arum said Marquez plans to take a tune-up against faded former lightweight titlist David Diaz (36-3-1, 17 KOs) on July 2 in Mexico City. Diaz lost his title to Pacquiao via a lopsided ninth-round knockout in 2008.
Marquez's own promotional company will put the card on, although Arum said Top Rank would help if needed. Arum said Marquez's deal for the Pacquiao bout permitted him an interim fight as long as it takes place by July 17.
"He's going to do that fight, and if he loses, he's out," Arum said.
Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KOs) and Marquez (52-5-1, 38 KOs) have a rich history, battling twice in action-packed fights that ended in controversial decisions.

Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion Tony Bellew has stepped in to fight Nathan Cleverly for the WBO light-heavyweight title on Saturday.
Welshman Cleverly was left without an opponent after WBO belt-holder Juergen Braehmer pulled out on Wednesday, claiming to have an eye injury.
Cleverly will fight as champion at London's O2 Arena after the WBO stripped Braehmer of his belt.
"I'm really happy that Bellew will be in the opposite corner," he said.
"I knew we'd get it on one day and that day has come sooner than expected. I'm ready - he's going to get knocked out."
Bellew, who was in training for a rematch against Ovill McKenzie, said: "I'm coming down to London to fight and believe [me] when I say I'm going to knock Cleverly out cold."
The 28-year-old has won all 15 of his professional fights, with 10 of those victories coming via knock-outs.
"I wouldn't have put myself forward if I didn't think I could beat him," he said. "Two months notice or two day's notice, I know I can beat Cleverly."
Cleverly, 24, added: "Not only will Bellew feel my anger from Braehmer pulling out, but he'll now pay for slagging me off in the last year."
Promoter Frank Warren said: "The fight between Nathan and Tony has been brewing up in the last year and it's happened sooner than expected, but I'm delighted that it's on.
"There is nothing like big domestic fights - I'm expecting fireworks in the ring."

Three years ago the gearheads at Optima Batteries had the idea to gather up some of the sweetest high-performance muscle cars at SEMA, sprinkle in some modern performance icons, and let them all battle it out on the track. The result became the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational (OUSCI). Since then the rules have been tweaked but the soul of the event has remained true: bitchin rides that look like they can haul ass are put to the ultimate test of car and driver. There are three ways to get a "golden ticket" to run at this party: win one of the regional qualifying events, get noticed during the year by the event organizers, or snag one of the 10 invites handed out at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. No matter how you get there, you'll soon find out that being fast is a hell of a lot harder than looking fast.
The Rules
Like last year, all the driving events were scored using a points system where the top 20 finishers were awarded from 25 (First place) to 1 point (20th place). This meant the cars had to excel in all three driving challenges to win the big prize.
The Raybestos Performance Design Challenge portion used to be judged on a 1-10 scale with 1 being the best score. But this year it was changed so that it factored in just like the driving events (1-25 point scale for the top 20 cars). Whereas before it was more of a tie-breaker, now it was 25 percent of the final tally. Also, any car not finishing all the events would be disqualified.
The only other way to earn, or lose, points was in the Detroit Speed Inc.-sponsored road rally. Here, all the competitors were required to drive on a pre-planned course from Las Vegas to Pahrump; no trailer queens here. This year was even more entertaining since it featured rain, freezing temps, snow, and ice. We're sure the cars without side windows or heaters were real fun to drive that night. Those that made the cruise in the prescribed time were awarded 10 bonus points.
The BFGoodrich-sponsored Hot Lap Challenge consisted of a warm-up lap, followed by three timed laps and one cool-down lap. The cars were sent out individually as there is no fender-to-fender racing. The Ridetech-sponsored autocross consisted of three timed laps with no practice laps. Hitting a cone resulted in a 1-second penalty and making a wrong turn in the cones resulted in a big fat DNF. For the Wilwood Brakes-sponsored Speed/Stop Challenge, drivers had to combine launch speed with braking prowess to traverse the given distance and stop in the coned-off box in the shortest amount of time. Touch a cone in the stop box, and that run was a DNF. Many times there was equal tire smoke at both ends of the run with more than a few tires becoming less than round. The competitor's best time in each event was used to determine how many points they secured in that segment.
In an effort to keep "ringers" from being stuffed behind the wheel, the owner/builder rules were tightened up even more than last year with a builder needing to have worked on at least 80 percent of the car. Now that doesn't mean there weren't "pros" behind many of the wheels. Last year's champ Mark Stielow was back to defend his crown with his insanely badass '69 Camaro. Mark has hundreds, if not thousands, of laps at Spring Mountain and could mostly likely walk the track faster than most people could drive it. There were also some familiar faces like Kyle Tucker, Stacy Tucker, Mary Pozzi, and Brian Finch. All of them ended up being 2-5 seconds faster than they were last year. So yes, practice does pay off. There were also new heavy hitters piloting cars including Mike Maier, Brian Hobaugh, Pete Callaway, and Vinny Allegretta. Such a deep talent pool, combined with cars that blurred the lines between street car and race car, guaranteed fierce competition, and that's exactly what we got.

These Young Children Will Tell You, Don't Believe Everything You Read in Food Safety News
"The whole cantaloupes in the stores are now safe to eat," Food Safety News reassured its readers on September 26, 2011. Its article included standard advice about following proper food handling procedures, and avoiding cantaloupes connected to an outbreak of listeria from cantaloupes in Colorado that was just concluding.
But the industry experts FSN spoke to were all reassuring. "Most definitely, cantaloupes are safe," it quoted one California producer as saying.
Yet within a year, in July 2012, a four-year-old Michigan girl would "develop painful abdominal cramps" one evening, according to a court suit. "The next morning, she began to suffer from repeated bouts of severe diarrhea. The abdominal cramps had worsened overnight, and on July 18, (the girl) suffered dozens of bouts of diarrhea. She had been infected by Salmonella typhimurium as a result of consuming cantaloupe…":
For days, the girl and her parents were back and forth to a hospital emergency room, as the fever, abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea continued. While the fever broke July 20, "the cramps and diarrhea persisted almost until the end of July."
That same month, two other young Michigan sisters would suffer similar similar symptoms, and be similarly diagnosed, according to another court suit. One of the girls would spend four days in the hospital.
Cantaloupes obviously weren't nearly as safe as FSN and its industry sources thought. Indeed, cantaloupes were a scourge on the land, in food safety terms.
In 2011 and 2012 alone, 308 people were sickened and 39 killed…..by tainted cantaloupe. It's not known exactly how many were children, but you can be sure it is more than the three documented here.
Since 1990, there have been 1,428 cantaloupe illnesses, with the trend line seeming to head more sharply upward over the last few years.
The original reassurances about cantaloupes, as I said at the beginning of this article, came from Food Safety News. The information on cantaloupe illnesses and sickened little children? That came from the blog of food safety lawyer, Bill Marler, who owns Food Safety News.
I wouldn't be so cynical as to suggest that Marler encouraged FSN to go easy on cantaloupe so as to possibly create new clients for his law practice, (though he has impugned the motives of raw dairy producers, saying recently "I certainly understand the desire of a farmer to sell a highly profitable product…"). In fact, I think he genuinely cares about people who get sick from bad food, and wants to do right by them, much as raw dairy producers care about the health and safety of their customers. And he tries to represent divergent views in FSN—he has even allowed several of my opinion pieces to be published.
Where he has gotten himself into trouble is in departing from the mission inferred in the title of his publication, which is supposed to be about food safety. If it was really about food safety, it would have warned readers in that 2011 article I led off with that any food, including cantaloupe, can make you sick at any time, no matter what the producers say. He also wouldn't have labeled another food, raw milk, as inherently unsafe, in part because a farmer who produced some tainted batches of the stuff that made many people very sick said the problem wasn't his fault, but rather the food's fault.
But because the producers in the cantaloupe and raw milk cases fit into FSN's distorted view of the world, they were turned into mouthpieces for ideology rather than food safety—an ideology that plays up to regulators, corporations, the medical community, and others.
Can you imagine an article in Food Safety News substituting raw milk for cantaloupe in that opening article? In other words, with raw milk producers insisting, following an outbreak attributed to raw milk, that all was well and all raw milk being produced was now safe?
Of course not. And the reason is that raw milk is deemed to be inherently unsafe, while cantaloupe is considered redeemable, subject to illnesses as a result of carelessness in harvesting or cleaning, but basically safe.
So you see entirely different kinds of media attention. Despite the fact that illnesses from cantaloupes are trending way up from a sizable earlier base (nearly 1,500 illnesses since 1990).
That FSN article I highlighted in the previous post about raw milk fit all the anti-raw-milk prejudices to a tee, with this topper: the offending farmer had seen "the errors of his ways." It wasn't his fault, it was raw milk's fault. He screwed up, but FSN allowed him to blame the inherent danger of raw milk and thus come off as someone who made an entirely forgivable error because he was temporarily led astray by the forces of evil.
Once you blow your credibility, you blow a lot.
Is the number of attendees that have signed up for the RAWMI Udderly Clean Raw milk webinar is any indication of raw milk progress.... We are in good shape as a movement. Our last webinar on bad bugs drew about 20. We are now having to change software systems with over a 100 signing up and promises of more than 200 and we are being cautious to not invite to many. Be cautious what you pray and work for!!!
Opdc sales routes in LA today hit all time highs. Sell outs everywhere.
David, it is sad that farmers are being g blamed for FDA policies that have killed of the American immune systems and at the same created vicious superbugs that capitalize on the new found American immune weakness.
I look forward to a time when TV advertisements describe what an immune system is and also direct the public to build up and also protect the immune system. That will be a great day. Until then...cantaloupe funerals.
I don't buy cantaloupe from the stores. They haven't changed how they process the produce, so nothing has changed. The cause is just festering for another "outbreak". When it happens again, what will their excuse be? They are indeed biased.
Another good example to push for encouraging your family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, etc to produce their own nutrient rich foods in their own gardens. It doesn't have to be fancy, big, extensive, etc...there are many, many wonderful ideas for low cost and simple gardens that anyone can do, even in containers!! Doing so will eliminate the problems with questionable processing methods, not to mention, the wonderful, healthy and delicious benefits it brings. Let's start a campaign to bring back the Victory Gardens!!
Please excuse the typos. I have a hard time typing and editing on my iPhone.
Perfect solution: Mandate food irradiation for all cantaloupes through a central processing plant. Claim no loss of nutrient content. This would be a great way to put the small growers of fresh cantaloupe out of business too.
Yes, The elimination of competition from honest, hard working people with a quality product is the purpose behind any claimed outbreak of so called foodborne illness.
When you call a virus or bacteria who's primary means of transmission is through human contact; a foodborne pathogen, you are a liar and can not be trusted.
When you call improperly pasteurized milk or cheese; raw milk, you are a liar and can not be trusted.
When you call cheese; milk, you are a liar and can not be trusted.
Mark, no worries about the typos especially when we know you are probably flying a plane and maybe even chewing gum at the same. Great to hear your milk is doing so well, I consider it to be a public/social contribution which is much more tangible than I could say for tax sponsored FDA / USDA, kudos to you.
Dr. Heckman.
Don't laugh. It has already been done. Almonds are required to be pasteurized but yet .....the USDA allows them to be labeled as raw. It is interesting to note that unlike fluids, the steam heating of the exterior of an almond does not heat the interior of the almond to the same temp as the exterior and there is still some rawness left. Wonder when someone is going to make raw almond milk from pasteurized almonds. Interesting new niche. The resulting almond milk would actually have some enzymatic life because the inside of the almond would not ever have been denatured.
Food law is so convoluted and deceptive. Where is the truth?? I am a bit fascinated with almond milks because it is taking over the dairy case and really ruining pasteurized fluid cow milks day. I am also fascinated because unlike cows milk...the FDA has no control over almond milk and the USDA does. The USDA has allowed pasteurized to be labeled as raw. I wonder if the FDA would allow me to pasteurize milk and the label it as raw milk!!? Would never do it ...but some one else might try to do it?
Bastards are deceptive, unabashedly biased & self serving. In fact...they are trying right now by using 60,000 psi high pressure to crush bacteria and still call it raw.
When will it stop? I know that answer. Consumers being educated and dollar voting will stop the food madness.
Another oops, madness IS HERE
and here
Mark, not to put a fine point on it but are you saying that all commercial raw milk is irradiated and/or basteurized? yikes. Where's my cow now. Check this and get yourself a field survey meter:
Lest you miss my obscure music references, I'll keep posting a few here and there until I'm banned or someone complains other than Mary. I saw the Basically Safe back up the Inherently Unsafe with Toxic Heavy Medals and the High-Throughput Screeners way back before my mind was made up.
Thanks Mr. Heckman, that is most certainly the purpose of of any outbreak fabrication.
If they lie once they'll lie again.
If you've seen one outbreak of foodborne illness you've seen them all.
Outbreaks from Cucumbers, Spinach, Sprouts, Queso Fresco Cheese, Cantaloupes, and Raw Milk, are all the same. They are are all based on the same absurd associations for the same nefarious reasons.
"Jim Crawford started New Morning Farm in Maryland many decades ago. He was young and idealistic. He had little or no money and had to start small. He believed in sustainable agriculture and wanted to produce fresh and healthy produce to sell in farmers' markets to the urban public. He succeeded and became increasingly well known both for his ideals and his produce."
"This may be why the FDA picked him out for a site visit. An inspector appeared without warning and told him that his operation would have to change, according to the Los Angeles Times: "This is my badge. These are the fines. This is what is hanging over your head, and we want you to know that." It didn't matter that no health problem had ever been associated with Crawford's impeccably run operation."
@ Ken: I posted a link to the same story here two days ago. Here's the LA Times take:
Keep the public in the dark, we have no need to know...
Kneed to know they made best bread ever and great music but are long gone and no known recordings per youtube... sad
Salad Bar, I saw them back up the Organic Sprouts ok i'll stop now
The bigger question, I think, is WHY - why is there only one meat processor in the whole northern CA area? Still, no one seems to know why the usda shut it down.
It was an accident looking for a place to happen. Or maybe not.
Sorry, the above comment was supposed to go under Syliva's post about the meat "recall".
Here is bit of info regarding how the secret government has dealt with grassroot movements it didn't like in recent decades:
"... In 1956 the FBI went a step beyond this with its Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO), which was originally designed to "increase factionalism, cause disruption and win defections" ... The program quickly came to target many more groups ... and by the 1960s was going after:
civil rights groups generally, and Martin Luther King, Jr. specifically; antiwar groups, including many student, church-based, and veterans groups; national liberation organizations, such as the Black Panthers and American Indian Movement.
The intention was to discredit and disrupt these groups and many illegal dirty tricks were used. Methods included infiltration and provocation, misinformation and forgery, planting false stories in the media, intimidation through government investigations such as tax audits and spurious criminal charges, violence through proxy goon squads and local police, as well as continuing black bag break-ins and electronic surveillance.
Additionally, the now huge "national security state" of dozens of federal and military intelligence agencies conducted similar acts, sometimes coordinated with and sometimes competing against COINTELPRO. The names of these operations sound like something from a 1960s spy show, like "The Man From Uncle": Operation CHAOS, Projects RESISTANCE, MERRIMAC, MINARET, and SHAMROCK.
Through such programs, the government electronically eavesdropped, operated a dozen mail opening programs, monitored and collected all telegram traffic coming into or leaving the U.S., and created "watch lists" of hundreds of thousands of "subversives." It also acted proactively to "disrupt," often violently, the legal political activity of U.S. citizens via its arsenal of dirty tricks and blackmail files.
Local police agencies, such as New York City and Los Angeles, compiled their own blackmail files, with LA's lists ending up in the hands of a private right-wing group in the 1980s. Chicago's police arguably participated in a planned assassination of a political leader, Black Panther Fred Hampton in 1969, while other police framed leaders on trumped up charges (such as California Black Panther Geronimo Pratt, finally exonerated in 1997 after more than 20 years in prison)..."
Hope you all get the idea. (that's taken from http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Subverting%20_Democracy/US_Surveillanc...)
Sylvia said, "Know thy enemy" in the last article. Does yesterday have anything to do with today? Can people in the raw milk community learn from others, instead of constantly walking into punches? I hope you all will take a second look at that Foundation Farm story critiqued in the last article in this blog, and hopefully you will see it has no chance of being a genuine story.
Unlike the FDA Pasteurized Milk Ordinance, almond milk does not have a federal policy from the USDA that I know of. Industry just does not want short shelf life and no recalls or bad news. The almond milk guys are not milk guys. They are simply responding to consumer demand and the opening in the dairy case. So they do not want salmonella problems so they pasteurize the almond milks that are currently in the market place. This prolongs shelf life and makes distribution easier.
If some one took surface pasteurized almonds and made almond milk with out a secondary pasteurization of the resulting almond milk fluid...that would be mostly raw. I do not think that there is a rule about that yet....
I would not bet against the almond industry connecting with their buddies at the USDA to slip that rule through and do it with out any public comment or etc....
But right now, I am pretty sure that someone could make a legal mostly raw almond milk. The shelf life might be a little short...but it could be done.
On a different note, let's talk about music again? Why? Because the reason people in the raw milk community, and people in general, are so unaware of what they are really dealing with, has to do with the workings of the human mind. Our minds are not pure. They are defective. This is what I have been shown in my seeking Truth since I was a child.
Having defective minds makes us especially vulnerable to mental tampering, such as hypnotic tampering. If you've ever seen a stage hypnotist give someone a post hypnotic suggestion that they are a chicken, and then watched that person strut around on stage believing they really are a chicken... well now you can begin to understand "the human condition".
No matter how many times the government and media cartel and textbooks lie to people, they keep lining up for the next sucker punch, as if they were born mentally retarded. There's no reason to take it personally , it happens because the human mind can be tampered with, and your mind has been tampered with since you arrived here on "plantation earth". And this explains why, when I tell people these things, their face lights up and they go, "Oh, I suppose its a vaaaaast conspiracy, right?!!!"
Anyone that has made any kind of effort to investigate things directly in the real world, knows the conspiracy question is not in the realm of debate, it's a no brainer we are dealing with a conspiracy (look up the word if you don't understand it btw). So the question is, how does it work, who is doing this to us, and why...? But most people never even get on this first rung of the ladder, due to what I have described above.
We are being assaulted on many fronts, not just our food supply and health, and these things all interrelate. So the name of the game is, how do we heal our minds, so that people can think straight, so you don't have to endlessly explain to the guy strutting on stage that he really isn't a chicken, or that its ok to eat real food, it's the modern "food" that is the problem?
If people could think straight, all this tons and tons of writing in this blog, on whether it's ok to eat real food, and whether the government and media cartel are trustworthy, would be totally unnecessary.
So I'm posting this gift once again here, saying that I have recovered the original ancient musical tunings. Playing music in tune with the Earth and rest of the Universe, offers you a tremendous opportunity to cleanse your mind. Our bodies are built out of music, like the rest of the World of Form. "Modern tuning" is deliberately put out of tune with the Universe. It is yet another assault on us.
Yes yes I know, this would imply there is a conspiracy. This would imply that all the "news" stations all telling the same fake news, day after day, is not a random event, but something actually organizes all this, Yes that's right, there is organization in this Universe, behind the scenes. For those of you that can grasp this simple fact, if you want to take a look at the musical discoveries I have made, as I said before, let me know and I'll send them for free.
Hey Tom, you ever hear of Conspiracy Theories? Or Raw Milk Marys? I saw the Behind The Scenes before the Curtain Was Drawn and the Simple Facts it wasn't pretty. Cows are. Keep the music coming.
@ tommculhane: It's not even a behind-the-scenes conspiracy, implied or otherwise, any more. This is well worth reading. A lot of people will not believe it, or even bother to open the link.

D, This new world order agenda is nothing new. Its an age old scenario that has met with failure in the past and anyone today who thinks, that they can usurp human free will and assume absolute control fail to understand the nature of the beast and are thus in for a rude awakening. Indeed those who deny, or scoff at the idea that such an insidious agenda is in the works are living in a fool's paradise.
@ Ken: You bet it's not new. People in high places have been working on this since the early 1900's. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. But you know what? I sure hope you're right . . . this is one area of life where I'd be very very happy to say I was wrong.
"It is an age old scenario that has met with failure in the past and anyone who thinks, that they can usurp human free will and assume absolute control fail to understand..."
Ken, that's udder nonsense (but believe me I do appreciate your enlightened views on natural farming and germophobes, etc)
If it's any comfort to anyone, we don't have to fear a world government taking over, because we already have a world government and have had one for centuries. The "Nation state" is a fictional idea today, all are controlled behind the scenes by the same thing. Keeping people in compartments, constantly pitting one group against another, it's an ancient ruling technique.
If you do a little digging, you will find that the CIA, NSA, KGB, Mossad, British Intelligence, etc. are all simply arms of the same thing, like Pontiac Buick and Chevrolet are all part of GM.
A good way to begin investigating this hidden history: there was a video on oneradionetwork dot com (seems to have mysteriously disappeared from their archives now), called The Rothschilds: The World's Only Trillionaire Family. I think you can still find it on youtube, it's like 55 minutes.
I don't think anything in this video would even be considered controversial to mainstream historians, it's just basic history that they forgot to teach you in school. It's a bit watered down, but overall would give you a lot of leads. The more you look into the global government, the uglier it gets.
We live in a global prison. As Russell Means once said, if you think you own your land, stop paying the taxes, and you will find out real fast that you don't own it, you are renting it from the government.
I can't even go to the river and bath naked, they will put me in prison. Don't kid yourselves, we live in a sophisticated global police state. But it is true they are constantly trying to tighten the screws.
I am not a defeatist or I would have slit my wrists a long time ago. I believe it is our destiny to get out of this prison and take our rightful place in this Universe. So while I am aware of the bad guys' program, I try not to obsess about it, and try to focus on being a laser beam of Goodness, nourishing myself and others too maybe. So I think I'm gonna make me some more sassafrass tea here and mix in some raw milk and whole sugar cane juice.
This is wonderful.
IN DEFENSE OF MICHAEL SCHMIDT: http://thebovine.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/why-michael-schmidts-appeal-ma...
Be sure to click on the link at the bottom of the article and continue to read. The guy has some fascinating stuff in there. ;)
When a farmer goes to court for selling a high quality food that the people want, we have in the courtroom: the state regulators, it's representatives, the defendants which are the people of the state and their farmer who represents them in their fight for healthy food but their accusers, the doctors, veterinarians, cheese makes and other industry representatives, are often not there and most of the above are not seated in their proper chairs. This was written in reference to raw milk but it also applies to pigs. http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2014/02/judge_dismisses_fe...
This link worked better for me.
Mark, I have a very basic question for you. I remember that you are not a fan of this site I'm linking to, but... According to this article, " (raw milk freezes well, so bulk orders aren't a problem)."
I think most of us here at TCP would agree that basteurization boiling does not make milk any better or safer, but does freezing make it any worse, or retain the nutritional balance and probiotic values? Anyone else have experience with that? We have never tried it but curious.
You can freeze milk without damaging anything, as far as I know. I've done it for years. I freeze in glass containers with plenty of air-space left for expansion (I leave a good 2" space from the shoulder of the bottle). We've never had a problem. Just remember to let them thaw slowly. I set the jars inside a bucket or a big plastic bag to thaw in the sink in the winter, during the summer in the fridge. I've never had one burst or anything.
I keep an extra old refrigerator that a friend gave me at just above freezing just for my raw milk and I've had it last up to 31 days without souring.
Ed Morrissey is right: This is a nothingburger. It has nothing to do with reality, it's just michelle's 15 minutes of fame on a subject she doesn't come close to understanding.
Sorry guys, i'm truly over and out just had the copperinos bust into my store and toss me in a cell for taking a nap and having mystore closed during business hours. I'm done
Store is gone too bad
My son has been diagnosed w/mono and I probly have it too for the last 3 weeks. But they have the guns so who cares how you feel or not
wish I had pictures

Drama, Suspense/Thriller
A spiraling descent into fear which begins on a quietly ominous note as family man Michel sets out for his summer home in the countryside with his wife Claire and their three screaming infant daughters. A blistering heat wave and the increasingly cranky children force the family to make a pit stop. In the rest area, Michel bumps into Harry, an old school classmate he doesn't remember, but who seems to remember Michel fondly. Harry, so impressed with Michel when they were younger, even recites from memory a poem Michel wrote as a teenager. Soon, Harry and his voluptuous fiancee, Plum, are joining Michel's family on their vacation. Harry seems to be just what the family needs--his carefree spirit and charm light up Michel's mundane little holiday, allowing him to let go. Yet the friendlier Harry gets and the more generosity and advice he bestows on Michel, the mysteriously menacing his effects becomes.
