Comment: Re:"very telling" indeed (Score 1) 157 157
I think a good point is being made that corporations are a lot better at telling the government what to do than the citizenry. Interestingly, that also boils down to corporations caring a lot more about protecting their interests. Maybe they understand what the masses do not: Ultimately, your very existence depends on it.

To the Editor: New regulations for organically-certified meat
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently finalized regulations that will ensure organically-certified production practices are in keeping with the spirit of what an organic label means to consumers.
The organic rule already required that producers afford access to pasture to receive certification, but the new rule will clarify vague language about how much grazing is enough and the limited circumstances under which animals can be denied pasture access. Previous requirements, for instance, allowed some products to receive the certified organic label, although the animals rarely set food outside a confined animal feeding operation (CAFO).
To obtain the label under the new rule, producers will have to give livestock access to the outdoors year-round and graze animals throughout the grazing season, which must be at least 120 days. In addition, the rules ensure that a minimum amount of an animal's food come from pasture. A report by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that grazing animals on pasture is not only less damaging to the environment than raising animals inside confined operations, but that meat and milk from grass-fed cows can contain higher levels of good fats that may provide health benefits.
USDA's new rules will remove ambiguity for producers in meeting organic standards and give consumers greater confidence that milk and meat bearing the organic label have been produced in ways that truly benefit people, animals and the environment.

Chart of the day: Earnings in Perspective
There are a couple of points of interest. For one, earnings growth has tended to peak in the 20 to 40% range and trough somewhere in the -10 to -20% range. At least that was the case up until this millennium. Since the dot-com crash (i.e. the 2001 – 2002 timeframe), earnings growth volatility has increased dramatically.
Chart of the Day: Surging Home Prices
Chart of the Day: Post-Massive Bear Market Rallies
Today's chart illustrates rallies that followed massive bear markets. For today's chart, a 'massive' bear market is defined as a decline of greater than 50%. Since the Dow's inception in 1896, there have been only three bear markets whereby the Dow declined more than 50% (early 1930s, late 1930s until early 1940s, and during the recent financial crisis).
Chart of the Day: Weak Post-Election Year Stock Performance
The Jobs Disaster – the Long View
Today's chart provides some long-term perspective on the price of a barrel of crude oil with a long-term chart of inflation-adjusted West Texas Intermediate Crude. Today's chart illustrates that most oil price spikes coincided with Middle East crises and often preceded or coincided with a US recession.

I have partnered with Niseko Village to share some of my photo and video work on their global website through a special page called, simply "Neil's Niseko". Niseko is not technically mine, wish it was though. I will be doing my best to capture what I love about Niseko and share some of that on the site.

On Tuesday, Jan. 6, more than 50 town officials, county officials and members of the Colonie and Albany-Colonie chambers of commerce gathered at the Century House in Latham for breakfast and the talk of the town.
In her second State of the Town address, sponsored by both chambers and CB Richard Ellis, a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Colonie Supervisor Paula Mahan shared her insight into the hardships and accomplishments the Town of Colonie saw in 2008, and offered a taste of what is to come in 2009.
The program opened up with Mark Eagan, chairman of the board of directors for the Albany-Colonie Chamber of Commerce, giving a few brief remarks and thanking Albany County Executive Michael Breslin and several other elected officials for being present at the event.
Eagan spoke of the strong developmental progress the business community has seen in 2008, despite the economic hardships of the entire country.
The dip that we've experienced in recent days is certainly minor, he said.
Eagan thanked Mahan for the hard work she has done in promoting growth in the business community throughout her first year in office.
When the supervisor took the podium, she spoke more of the progress the town has made as a whole as opposed to just in the business community.
"[Last year] was a challenging year for all of us," she said, explaining that through her administration, she was able to shed light on "the seriousness of many of the town's problems."
Those problems included the controversy at the West Albany Rod and Gun Club and potential mismanagement of funds at County Waste under investigation, as well as the town's now-$19.4 million deficit.
Mahan said that at the same the time town officials continued to learn of the town's mishaps, her plan remained the same: full disclosure to the public, while at the same time stabilizing the town.

Step back in time to small town Mississippi as it was in the 1920's. While we are at the Museum, we'll enjoy BBQ made especially for us at the Museum Education Center.
At the MS Sports Hall of Fame we'll be able to identify with where the Magnolia State's incredibly rich sports history is proudly displayed and extolled.
This facility exists to tell and preserve the stories of MS greatest athletes and coaches, with-out question some of the world's greatest. Through the Wall of Memories, the Ben Puckett Olympic Room, the Dizzy Dean collection, the locker room, theatre, and touch-screen kiosks, we will learn of stories of not only Payton , Manning and Rice, but all of the more than 300 legends who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Wednesday, June 24, 2015
Member: $135 Guest: $155
Deadline to register: Friday, May 29, 2015
Join us for this reflection back in history during our visit to the National World War II Museum where you will see first-hand the contribution made by the United States to victory by the Allies in World War II, and, in particular, the Battle of Normandy. This museum was designated by the U. S. Congress as "America's National World War II Museum in 2003, and is affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. The mission statement of the museum emphasizes the American experi-ence in World War II through artifacts, film footage, testimonies and live performances.
Yes, while visiting the museum we'll have lunch at the Stage Door Canteen then take a seat in the crowd as The Victory Belles present America's Wartime Sweethearts: A Tribute to The Andrews Sisters. Noted for their close harmonies and synchronized dance steps, the Andrews Sisters epitomized the "we're all in this together" spirit of the war years, and their optimistic songs and exuberance made them ideal morale boosters. The Victory Belles are proud to pay tribute to this tal-ented trio, who volunteered so much time entertaining our troops here and abroad. Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree, I'll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time, and Chattanooga Choo Choo, are just a few of the signature favorites we'll hear in this upbeat Canteen salute.

|Romancing the Woods has years of experience constructing beautiful and natural garden fencing, pool and yard enclosures, porch and deck railings, and gates for your garden or home. We have built fencing for beauty, for concealment, for protection, and as a barrier to keep out deer or other unwanted critters. We can also comply with all your local building codes if required. We build using locally harvested eastern red cedar trees that we selectively cut from the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountain Regions of New York State. When available we will also use mountain laurel, a unique and durable wood that we harvest from the woods of Rhode Island. Choose a design, determine your top rail height, then contact us for a free estimate. We will gladly work with you to create the perfect addition to your home, park, or garden with your specific requirements in mind. Our structural joints are fastened using countersunk galvanized lag bolts which are concealed with bark-on cedar plugs and the decorative elements are fastened using ceramic coated screws. We take great care to make sure that no hardware is visible in our construction. Our structures are extremely durable and weather well in any environment giving you years of enjoyment. Add a rustic arbor or pergola to your fencing for added beauty.

35 year old woman | Boyle Heights, CA, USA | Seeking men 31-40 in Los Angeles, California, United States
We can say we met at a concert. ;) **Se habla español.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, and always in admiration for what this incredible city has to offer. I'm naturally curious and love learning about different cultures and traveling, so its nice to have a little bit of all of that right here at home. I'm looking forward to meeting new people outside of my normal circles and trying out this whole online thing, plus, if you want, we can say we met at a concert ;) So yes, love music, love live music and I am always down to go salsa dancing. I work my hardest to live a balanced life, as I'm also a graduate student in Education. I spend my time studying, hanging out with my awesome friends and family and would love to hang out and get to know someone who is adventurous, spontaneous, intelligent and is working towards something he considers fulfilling. Not to make a list, but just a bit about myself- my friends say I'm a very dedicated friend, and that's because they're like extended family to me. I'm very honest, compassionate, a good listener and love conversing and cracking jokes. I'm independent, but also really value quality time with the people in my life. Something also very important to me is having spiritual and emotional balance and always seeking to learn more. Se habla español tambien :) Bonus points if you like to dance salsa, or at least if you'd be down to try it out with me!

My nieces, laughing, dancing, reading, spicy Thai food, authentic Mexican Food, international movies, education, culture, youtube, showers, my green car that gets me around.
For fun I like to go dancing Salsa, Cumbia and Guarachas. I also love the sun and outdoor activities like festivals in the summer, going for a walk, watching a movie, riding bikes on the beach and am always on the lookout for cool places to eat.
I read a lot of academic articles for work and school but the last thing I read for fun was "The Tibetan book of living and dying" and Buzzfeed, Bored Panda and Cracked.com periodically throughout the week so I don't lose my mind.

27 year old woman | Lumberton, NJ, USA | Seeking men 28-35 in New Jersey, United States
I wanna set you free, I wanna take you high.
Describing myself for an online dating site is something I never prepared for. So where to start? I'm very new to the online dating scene - unless the "a/s/l" and "chat room " era counts... My name is Danamarie. I'm currently 26 years old. I work full time at a family owned restaurant and catering venue located at two different country clubs and golf courses. I bartend most often but I'm also the marketing/sales manager there, as well. Intelligence is sexy. Your thoughts are beautiful. Sophistication is a turn on. Not asking me to have sex with you before you know me is priceless.I could write about what a perfect date is to me or I could hope that there's someone out there who is willing to create the perfect date together, with me; Someone that puts getting to know me first. Perfect does not exist. Flaws are what makes a person who they are. I don't expect a man to read my mind, but for a man to want to know me, every part of me, is what I define as sexy. Intelligence is beautiful. So Few couples really take the time to know each other... Like really know each other from the inside out. I would love to meet someone who finds my sense of humor and sarcastic response, to something funny, as a turn on. It should be the same vice versa too! Happiness is key! Its the small things that count. The best thing a man can be to a woman is her best friend. Falling for someone who will be there through your hopes, dreams, fears, joys, tears, ups and downs is what makes any relationship work. Don't stand back just to watch, dance WITH me.

Blue Jackets hopeful for return to playoffs: Season Preview

Peca for all intent and purpose was our third line center; I know the centers where all over the map last season but if I recall as the season came to an end Malhotra was the fourth line center Peca third.
But that's not important really, what is important is that the HF staff (experts imo) came up with the 10th seed based on credible facts. Some have discounted my assertion that our division strength will end up being an issue due to all teams improving equally (or something like that). I say don't overrate the Jackets in our division, we could lose a ton of games to Detroit, Chicago, SL and Nashville if we play anything less than playoff hockey in those games.
If Mason goes down (for any reason), our power play continues to hover around 25th or injuries take out Klesla and Brassard our season could end up as a 10th seed in the West.
I predicted a finish over a broad range from 7th to 11th based on these possibilities, however; if we improve our PP, avoid injuries and Mason excels we will be the 7th seed. If not a 10th seed is possible.

Diamondbacks release Scott Podsednik just two days after acquiring him
Aug 2, 2012, 7:32 PM EDT
The Diamondbacks acquired outfielder Scott Podsednik along with right-hander Matt Albers from the Red Sox for left-hander Craig Breslow just two days ago. However, the team announced Podsednik's release this afternoon. What gives?
According to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, Podsednik was granted his release after refusing an assignment to Triple-A Reno. I'm not sure if there's a way the Diamondbacks could have cleared the possibility of a minor league assignment with Podsednik before acquiring him, but his inclusion in the deal looks even more odd now. Of course, Albers was the real centerpiece of the deal from Arizona's perspective and Podsednik is nothing more than organizational depth at this point in his career, so the Diamondbacks probably aren't going to lose any sleep over it.
Podsednik, 36, batted .387/.409/.484 with one home run, seven RBI, six stolen bases and an .893 OPS in 19 games with the Red Sox earlier this season prior to being placed on the disabled list in mid-June with a strained groin. He was playing with Triple-A Pawtucket for a little over a month prior to the trade to Arizona.
- deathmonkey41 - Aug 2, 2012 at 8:19 PM
Can someone explain why the Diamondbacks would trade a halfway decent lefty reliever for Matt Albers essentially?
- Glenn - Aug 2, 2012 at 8:28 PM
In his defense, Albers is having a good year with a 2.29 ERA, 193 ERA+, and a 1.14 WHIP. Only 39 innings versus a career of mediocrity, though.
- nprakash5 - Aug 3, 2012 at 2:54 PM
I can only imagine Ben Cherington has something on Kevin Towers. I can't explain this any other way 😦. Horrible trade by KT.
- gloccamorra - Aug 2, 2012 at 8:45 PM
So who picks up Podsednik now?
- tonyz6060chevy - Aug 3, 2012 at 1:15 PM
the Seattle Mariners!
- spareman7 - Aug 3, 2012 at 6:40 PM
The Red Sox…..
- tfbuckfutter - Aug 2, 2012 at 8:54 PM
It's actually kind of irritating that, after a decent run, he was wasting in the minors while Ryan Sweeney was getting cuts (and misses) at the plate.
I get that he's at the end of the line….but I'll take a 50 year old Podsednik over Ryan effing Sweeney.
- delchef9 - Aug 2, 2012 at 10:01 PM
Scotty had a great spring for Philly…he beat out Juan Pierre but got screwed out of a roster spot………(tho JP has been great this season) he is healthy and whoever picks him up will get a great 4th OF or PR for the playoff push IMO!
- thepunkyqb - Aug 2, 2012 at 10:51 PM
@Chicago White Sox
Pick him back up!!! I wouldn't complain one ioda if they did.
- sheriffpeyton18 - Aug 3, 2012 at 12:11 AM
Dbacks don't need him! The new Adam Eaton will be called up soon!!
- cmbrown15 - Aug 3, 2012 at 7:23 AM
The Reds ought to give him a shot. The lack of a genuine leadoff hitter is their biggest weakness right now.
- professor59 - Aug 3, 2012 at 6:03 PM
Unfortunately for the purists, there are very few true leadoff hitters any more. Look forward to a game full of Mark Reynolds and bereft of Rickey Hendersons. The majors just don't pay any attention to your stats unless you hit homers. Then they just hope you can cut down on your strikeouts.
I just took a look through the league, and the only player who has leadoff-type stats is Austin Jackson. Anyone else with double digit steals and an OBP of 380 or more is also a slugger batting 3rd or 4th.
Where's Dykstra when you need him? Oh, right. Doing 20 to life.

August Wilhelm Holmström (1829-1903)
The Mosaic Egg 1914
Gold, platinum, enamel, rose and brilliant diamonds, rubies, emeralds, topaz, quartz, sapphires, garnets, moonstone | 9.5 x 7.0 cm | RCIN 9022
Technically one of the most sophisticated and extraordinary of Fabergé's Imperial Easter Eggs, the Mosaic Egg retains its 'surprise'. It takes the form of a medallion painted on ivory with the portraits of the five children of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra on one side and a basket of flowers and their names on the other, on a stand surmounted by the Russian imperial crown, held within the egg by gold clips. The egg was the Tsar's Easter gift to his wife in 1914, but the original invoice was destroyed and the cost is therefore unknown. The Tsarina's monogram and the date 1914 are set beneath a moonstone at the apex of the egg. It comprises a platinum mesh into which tiny diamonds, rubies, topaz, sapphires, demantoid garnets, pearls and emeralds are fitted – perfectly cut, polished and calibrated to fill the spaces.This extraordinary technical feat is all the more impressive because the platinum is not welded but cut.The five oval panels around the centre of the egg feature a stylised floral motif, replicating the technique of petit-point. In the list of confiscated treasures transferred from the Anichkov Palace to the Sovnarkom in 1922, the egg is described thus: '1 gold egg as though embroidered on canvas'. The designer, Alma Theresia Pihl, was inspired to produce the needlework motif when watching her mother-in-law working at her embroidery by the fire. Alma Pihl came from a distinguished family of Finnish jewellers employed by Fabergé. Her uncle, Albert Holmström, took over his father August's workshop and was the workmaster responsible for the production of this bejewelled egg. The egg was confiscated in 1917 and sold by the Antikvariat in 1933 for 5,000 roubles. It was purchased by King George V from Cameo Corner, London, on 22 May 1933 for £250 'half-cost', probably for Queen Mary's birthday on 26 May.

Katherine Stewart will be discussing a range of initiatives by the radical right, to infiltrate and undermine public education in America.
In 2009, journalist Katherine Stewart heard that something called the Good News Club was coming to her daughter's public elementary school in Santa Barbara, California.
At first she thought its mission seemed benign, but once she began to look into the organization and how it operated, she felt compelled to dig further.
Her reporting led to the book "The Good News Club: The Christian Right's Stealth Assault on America's Children" in which she documents how a 2001 U.S. Supreme Court case changed the landscape for how religion operates in public schools throughout the country.
There are now about 4,000 Good News Clubs operating in the U.S., and Stewart argues that while they bill themselves as after-school bible study, their true mission is to convert children to fundamentalist Christianity by creating the false but unavoidable impression in young children that their school endorses a particular form of Christianity. The Club also weakens public education by turning kindergarten classrooms into needless religious battlegrounds.
Stewart shows that Good News Clubs are just one among a range of initiatives, by the radical right, to infiltrate and undermine public education in America. They represent an attempt to destroy the constitutional principle of church-state separation that has very well served our public institutions -- as well as our religions -- since our nation's founding.
Katherine will be selling and signing her books after her talk.
KATHERINE STEWART will be speaking in Portland
Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 7 pm (Doors at 6:30)

Americans United for Separation of Church and State recently named Katherine Stewart their "Person of the Year"
The National Education Association interviewed Katherine Stewart. When they asked "What's the connection between Good News Clubs and the movements promoting vouchers and other so-called reforms?" She told them that it's easy to draw a straight line between Good News Clubs and the political networks intent on dismantling public education.
OPB's program "Controversy Surrounds Portland Arrival of Good News Club" discusses the Good News Club's focus on Portland.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune said that Stewart's book "…is an important work that reveals a movement little discussed in the mainstream media," one, Stewart worries, is poised to damage "a society as open and pluralistic as ours."

QantasLink is a regional brand of Australian airline Qantas and is an affiliate member of the Oneworld airline alliance. It is a major competitor to Regional Express Airlines and Virgin Australia Regional Airlines. As of September 2010 QantasLink provides 1900 flights each week to 54 domestic and international locations. [1]
Prior to 2002, Qantas' various subsidiaries operated under separate brands. In 2002 a common brand was created, encompassing AirLink (a franchise, operated at the time by National Jet), Sunstate Airlines, Eastern Australia Airlines, and Southern Australia Airlines.
For a short while, QantasLink took over some of Qantas' non-trunk routes, such as Sydney - Sunshine Coast, using Boeing 717s that were inherited after Qantas acquired Impulse Airlines. QantasLink ceased operating some of these routes after Qantas formed low-cost subsidiary Jetstar Airways, transferring the Boeing 717 aircraft and routes to the new airline. In 2005/06, eight of the 717s were returned to QantasLink following Jetstar's acquisition of Airbus A320 aircraft, to be operated in Western Australia, Northern Territory and far north Queensland by National Jet (now Cobham Aviation Services Australia).

QantasLink flights are operated by the individual airlines that make up the group - Eastern Australia Airlines and Sunstate Airlines; and also contracted carrier Cobham Aviation. All flights use QF IATA codes, and on 5 January 2009 both Eastern and Sunstate changed from their previous individual callsigns to the common Q-Link (pronounced "Cue-Link").
QantasLink increased capacity by replacing many of its smaller Dash 8 aircraft with Dash 8 Q400s. QantasLink pursued this deal despite landing gear problems with Q400 aircraft by some airlines. This problem also saw a grounding of the Q400s by QantasLink, though all were deemed safe and returned to service.
As part of its further expansion, QantasLink entered the South Australian market in December 2005, with flights from Adelaide to Port Lincoln and Kangaroo Island. Interstate flights were also introduced between Kangaroo Island and Melbourne. Due to low passenger loads, these services ceased operation at the end of June 2006, along with the services from Melbourne to Burnie. On 8 December 2009, QantasLink announced that it would re-enter the Adelaide to Port Lincoln market from February 2010, using Q400 aircraft flying 23 return services a week.[3]
Since 2005, QantasLink 717 services in Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory have been contracted to Cobham Aviation (formerly National Jet Systems), using the QantasLink brand. The hubs for QantasLink under the Cobham contract are in Perth, Western Australia, Cairns, Queensland and Darwin, Northern Territory.
Qantas replaced its daily Melbourne-Launceston mainline service with a three times daily QantasLink Dash 8 service from 1 August 2006. This has now been increased to a four times daily service.
In May 2008, QantasLink announced that Tamworth would be the first New South Wales regional port to be serviced by the Dash 8 Q400, commencing in mid-August 2008.[4]
On 29 March 2010 QantasLink and the Qantas Group announced that it would start the first international QantasLink route, from Cairns to Port Moresby, utilising Q400 aircraft already based in Cairns. The service commenced in July 2010. A QantasLink spokesperson stated that "the airline would not turn into a fully fledged international airline, but could operate international routes in the future".[5]
On 18 December 2014, QantasLink announced that it would add Whyalla, South Australia, to its expanding network, with double daily flights to commence on 13 April 2015. The route will be serviced by the 50-seat Q300. [6]
