WASHINGTON — More than 100 dairy farmers from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee traveled to Washington, D.C., Dec. 2 to meet with congressional representatives and other officials to present solutions that would end the worst dairy crisis since the Great Depression.
Dairy farmers met with members of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Education and Labor Committee and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to urge immediate action to restore fairness in the dairy pricing system, enforce anti-trust laws and ensure that dairy farmers receive a fair price for their product.
Dairy farmers also called on the USDA to quickly distribute emergency assistance aid that was authorized by Congress and President Obama under the 2010 Agriculture Appropriations Bill in October.
Debbie Windecker, a dairy farmer from Frankfort, N.Y., and a member of United States Dairy Farmers and Friends, said she and others want to know why there is such a large disparity between the price consumers pay for milk and the price paid to farmers.
Windecker added that nationwide, the average cost of production is about $18.00 per hundredweight, far below the average $10.78 per hundredweight dairy farmers received in the first 10 months of 2009.
She said as a result, many farmers are facing record debts and many have either sold their herds or have been forced to leave the dairy business entirely.
Joel Greeno, a dairy farmer from Kendall, Wisc. also attended the meeting and asked that officials overhaul a broken milk pricing system.
Farm Aid has met with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, delivering petitions signed by more than 13,000 consumers and farmers calling for the USDA to establish a floor price for milk that covers farmers' cost of production. Farm Aid also has made emergency assistance funds available to dairy farmers.
Farm Aid has made it clear dairy farmers don't want a bailout — they simply seek a fair and competitive pricing system that allows them to stay on the land and support their families.
I hope the government will get up and change the milk pricing system. It only benefits large corporations and not small family dairies. While they're at it, start letting farmers sell their milk direct to consumers. Get the facts yourself on how little the farmers get on how much milk is sold in the store.
There is nothing wrong with the milk pricing system. The problem is the high cost producers whine and complain that it is not their fault that they are losing money. Smaller dairies tend to be higher cost but fail to realize it. They bury their head in the sand to that fact and chose to beg government to solve their problems. High cost producers need to become better business people and do what is necessary to lower their cost of production or else quit and do something else. If they can't lower their cost capitalism will make them go broke. I milk 300+ grazing in case you thought i don't know the business
The dairies need help! No body can stand to lose $200. a month per cow for 9 months and expect to hold their lives together. Dairies were getting paid $9 cwt. and consumers were paying $4.5 per gallon at the store. The dairy farmer is is making $.72 per gallon the stores was selling for 4.5 per gal. The diff. is $3.78. that tells me someone made alot of MONEY!!!! and the dairies are going broke. I milk 20,000 cows in case you thought i don't know the busisness JOHN
thank for sending this article to me i really apreciate it.i'am an agricultural student and this help me if you know any farm around south africa who can offer me an experential training next year please help me.
There needs to be more than a pricing system change to fix the problems the dairy farmers face.
We need to not produce as much as milk as before and slow the amount of imported dairy products to this country. Most of these imported dairy products are not as high-quality as American dairy products. And John, I object to your comment about the small dairies. They don't live in a hole. They're on top of what's going on. And look what would happen if we just had a few huge farms to produce our food. The rural way and quality of life would disappear and our economy would be in a depression. Do you want that to happen ?
We really do need to make the pricing system more competitive. Farmers and consumers will lose if we don't.
Here's an idea: stop suckling on the secretions of another animal & get a real job. The dairy industry is failing for a reason. Let free enterprise run its course and make these "farmers" find a less-cruel alternative to using animals as a means to their end.
P$, I hope you can sleep well at night. Most of these farmers are small to mid-size and work 16-20 hours a day. How many hours do you work in a day ? Would you like to get up at 2:30 or 4 in the morning to go to work ? I don't think so. By the way, do you have any animals and how do you treat them ? Animal rights people are hypocrites.
I sleep great at night! Pray tell, what's hypocritical about my lifestyle? I mean, you know me SO well. I couldn't care less how hard these people work — they could be putting the same amount of effort into a line of work that's actually ethical and doesn't contribute to the suffering and death of thousands of animals. These people make a conscious decision to get up at 2 or 4 AM every morning to go to work. What does that have to do with the fact that they are treating animals as property?
I know you couldn't care less. They aren't treating animals as property. By the way, P$, I guess you think I'm "unethical" because I own 2 rabbits, 2 cats and a dog and am a member of 4-H. None of which I'm ashamed of. I love my animals and take good care of them. I even talk to them and play with them when I have time. I might not be perfect as your kind thinks you are. If you would read the Bible, especially New Testament, you would find that eating is not against Jesus Christ, our savior. You still didn't answer my question about if you own any animals.
My neighbors are also "unethical" because have cats and dogs for companions. And they have more of a conscience than you probably do.
And if you think I'm anti-environment, I'm also proud member of the Arbor Day Foundation and support wildlife organizations.
Suffering and death ? What about the suffering and death of all the people around the world who are wish they could have a nice warm house and something to eat like you do. And when they come calling on someone like you to help them, you turn your back. And milk is NOT secretion, urine and manure are secretion. You obviously need some serious education, because you sure do sling a lot of manure when you talk. By the way, I sleep really great too. The people I talked about working hard are doing their best to achieve that goal and you are standing in the way.
First of all.
1. The process of secreting a substance, especially one that is not a waste, from the blood or cells: secretion of hormones; secretion of milk by the mammary glands.
Milk is a secretion. It serves a singular purpose. Human breast milk is for humans. Cow's milk is for cows. We are the only species on this planet that consumes breast milk past infancy.
Secondly, please stop with the "your kind," "you," and "someone like you." You have absolutely no idea who I am. And from the looks of things, it is in fact YOU who needs some serious education.
Third, diverting attention from what we originally began discussing, the use of cows in the dairy industry as a means to your end, to suddenly discussing blanket human rights issues is a complete red herring. Stay on topic.
Fourth, your owning pets is not unethical. Domesticated animals such as dogs and cats, which were originally captivated and cultivated for our (humans) own selfish reasons, now need to be cared for. Helpless animals in need pour forth from shelters and pounds across the country. Adopting and caring for your 2 rabbits, 2 cats and dog is great! It's the very least you can do.
But it brings up an interesting phenomena amongst humans. Its called speciesism. But, seeing as how you are much more educated than I, you've already heard of this. Why do you care for your dogs and cats and turn around and eat a steak? A chicken breast? What moral difference is there between a dog and a cow?
I am standing in no one's way of earning a living. You and I participate in a capitalist economy, where my dollar counts as my vote. I choose not to pay into the suffering and death that is the dairy/meatpacking industry.
I am not perfect. I never claimed to me. Anyone who does is clearly delusional. "My kind" does not think they're perfect, if in fact "my kind" refers to vegans. However, vegans woke up to the glaring hypocrisy of our species' treatment of other sentient beings on this planet, and discovered that all of the death is completely unnecessary.
Finally, the Bible? Really? You're going to drag that into this conversation? Once again, you're assuming you know who I am, and what kind of formal education I have. Without assuming anything about you, I'm going to stay on the safe side and assure you I've read the Bible inside and out in my lifetime, and there is very little of value, and nothing of proven fact in there. It holds no relevance to the fact that the cows you own live their life to be forcefully impregnated over and over again in order to create your income. Leave your beliefs out of this and stick to logic and reason.
I'm sticking to logic and reason. Eating meat or eggs and drinking milk is not cruel. Farmers care for their animals. They don't beat animals around because they know that what is best for the animal is best for them and for consumers. They also care for the environment because they live here too. If they are such abusers of land and animals, how would they be making a living ? For those who would like to learn more about the dairy industry, visit DairyFarmingToday.org. They have the info anybody needs to understand the dairy farmers.
Eating meat, eggs, milk, or any other byproduct of the meat/dairy industry (including leather & wool) IS definitely cruel. If you cared for your animals, you would have their best interests in mind and not yours.
This is the reality of the egg industry.
How can you support something like that? Granted, this is one of the worst examples one can provide pertaining to the use (and abuse) of animals for human sustenance, but it is not at all uncommon.
If you produce for/support the meat/milk/dairy industry, you are pushing this death and destruction. You do not care for the environment. Here's a few fun facts. Don't believe me? Look it up.
The livestock population of the United States consumes enough grain and soybeans to feed more than 5 times its human population.
Eight per cent of global human water use goes towards animal production.
Nearly 10 percent of the U.S. land area is used to grow feed for animals raised for meat, and another 32 percent is used for grazing cattle, making livestock production the largest single use of land in the country.
To produce a single pound of meat, egg, or milk protein, depending on the species, 3–12 pounds of feed protein are needed. Producing all of this feed for farm animals uses more land, water, fertilizer, pesticides, and energy than would be used if we simply ate plant foods directly.
It is not environmentally sound AT ALL. In fact, 1 acre yields 165 lbs of beef or 20,000 lbs of potatoes. More than 7 billion animals die yearly for human consumption.
You claim your Bible supports your murderous eating habits. Thou shalt not kill doesn't extend to the other sentient beings your God put on this planet? How about all of the evidence in your Bible AGAINST the exploitation and killing of animals?
For those of you who would like to learn about the REAL dairy industry, and how beneficial it is to yourself, those around you, the environment, and the animals to not drink another animal's secretions tainted with pus and blood, visit http://www.milksucks.com
They have the information anybody needs to understand why J.W. Davis here should be farming spinach and not leeching off other sentient beings.
P$, maybe you should quit posting on this website if you feel so strong against dairies. After all, this is Farm and Dairy. Here's an idea for P$ : Stop mooching around and find a real job. I did. As far as me raising spinach, I have been raising my own vegetables along with my family. Where do you get yours ? The store ? I call that leaching. By the way, check your spelling before you rant and rave about ( you had leaching spelled leeching). If you think the egg industry is so cruel, you should see where I got eggs. From an Amish neighbor, where their chickens are free-ranged. And as far as contaminants in milk, most dairies in my area supplement feed with hay. And alot of dairies around have become certified organic, meaning they use only natural methods and products. How can that be cruel ? As far whats hypocritical about your lifestyle, I'll tell you. HSUS lied to a lot of organic growers and told them if they voted no on Issue 2, the HSUS requirements wouldn't effect them, just the CAFOs. Then behind close doors, HSUS is getting ready to eliminate animal ag. Also, you told me to keep the Bible and my beliefs out of this, yet YOU tell me that the Bible says not to eat meat.
That's how you are a Hypocrite.
By the way, If you think I dairy farm P$, your wrong. I don't own a single cow.
I would hope that milk prices paid to producers would increase and stay at the same price. I would hope that there would be more resources for people who live in Arkansas for expanding or have a chance to crawl out of the hole that we have been put into in the last decade. My hopes that we as dairy farmers could be paid at least enough to pay the prices it actually cost to run the farm, such as feed, equipment, hay, etc. I hope that the future for the dairy industry will process in a better way to help us a float to at least being debt free. Here is my personal story.
Please, read my family's story.
I want to share my story, about my family's small dairy farm. This farm was first started in 1978 by my grandfather (Charles Bell) and my grandmother (Virble Bell). The farm was successful in every way. They even were awarded "Dairy Farmers Of The Year" in 1986. They graduated from Grade C milk to Grade A milk. As the years passed the farm was then left to my father (Everett Bell) in 1999. During the last decade, the prices for feed have increased, the prices for commodities have increased, and the prices being paid for milk production have dramatically decreased! This led my father to believe that he needed to build a barn that milked sixteen cows rather than the older barn that only milked five to six cows at a time. He also thought that the mixing the feed himself would help save cost on buying the feed or grains pre-mixed. With the price of milk per hundred pounds a decade ago, his plans for developing a bigger business would have worked, but the economy has changed and also the price of milk for producers. As the prices dropped and the commodity prices increased, this led my family into major debt issues. My grandparents, father, and my step-mother pulled out everything they had in savings, bonds, 401K, and retirement to put into the farm. My father also suffers from a major disease called Crone's disease, which led to even more debt issues. Besides all of this, my point is that dairy farmers today are not getting the price per hundred gallons that they deserve. And even if the price of milk for producers do increase, how will my family be saved from foreclosure. Their houses, vehicles', land, and everything they own is tied up into this huge amount of debt towards the farm. They do not have the income to hire labor help, which leaves only my seventy-one year old grandfather, my sixty-six year old grandmother, my father, and his son to run the entire farm. There is more to be done than just milk the cows. They must care for the calves, provide food and proper conditions for the cows, maintain the tractors and equipment needed to keep the dairy farm alive. Cows must be milked at least twice a day for seven days a week. I (daughter of Everett Bell and my mother-in-law) have been donating our time into helping with labor time on the farm for free. My heart lies into this farm, and the needs of my family. My father has suffered not only physically, but mentally with this issue. My step-mother is a full time student attending nursing school to become an RN to help better provide for the family and the farm. We have searched for charity, donations, and fought hard everyday to come up with a solution for saving the farm. The farm is now in it's fifth generation, and is on the verge of being foreclosed. What if any thing can I or my family do to save this farm. We desperately need assistance of some kind. I am asking with all of my heart that if you know or know someone that can help us achieve the goals of being debt free, and making our dairy farm a success, then please help! Please be aware that we are not the only dairy farmers suffering, but many have already been foreclosed or is on the verge of loosing everything they own as well. Within the last two years the dairy farms have decreased by 80 % the total there were in Arkansas. Can you help us to be able to leave the farm to the fifth generation son (Sidney Bell). We have received $4,000 from the stimulus package from the government, but this is not enough to help our criteria needed to save our dairy farm. Is there any other source or way that we can achieve our goals for success?
Thank you for taking the time and the efforts in reading my story, and with hope and faith; may a miracle happen for my family and other dairy farmers around the world.
With Deep Regards,

I find Jennifer's story more heartwarming than that of P$.
P$ I think you need to get a life P$. I bet you work a desk job and sit on a computer all day because from the sounds of it you wouldn't know what PHYSICAL labor is. As far as not drinking cows milk you must live a boring unhealthy life since you don't consume milk,cheese,butter,icecream,yogurt etc.
I am farming in Ireland. 2009 milk prices were equal to cost of production, there is a small price rise coming in 2010 . I saw somewhere where European farmers located to south Dakota to start giant dairies from 2003 on. All of them put their entire proceeds into these dairies and borrowed heavily as they were told that there was huge demand for milk and that the price would hold up. As the dairies were built on farms of 160 acres and keep up to 2500 cows they have to buy in most of their feed, now with the price of milk lower than production costs a lot of them are destined for bankruptcy and will end up with nothing. They were led like lambs to slaughter. Big dairies like these will make good profits when milk prices are good but when prices drop below production costs they will be the first to fall especially with heavy borrowings. I think a lot of them were lured by the fact that they could manage their farms and use cheap labour to work them, none of them thought what if the price of milk drops. Personally I have more sympathy for farmers that were born and reared in the US and have spent their entire lives working their farms.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — Georgia Gwinnett College held a groundbreaking ceremony Friday for its new instructional laboratory facility that will accommodate the college's rapidly expanding student body.Featuring seven modern, multidisciplinary laboratories and an instrumentation core, the facility is designed for optimum function in meeting the young college's critical need for more lab space, according to a news release. Without the new facility, Georgia Gwinnett College would have to cap its enrollment at about 6,00 students. The new labs will enable to college to enroll up to 8,500, a number that GGC President Daniel Kaufman expects to achieve in the fall. "The size of our enrollment and the pace of our growth is really no surprise," Kaufman said. "The Gwinnett region needed a four-year, public college. Nothing reaffirms this institution more than our enrollment. Our ongoing challenge is to anticipate the growth and plan for it responsibly." The need for the laboratory facility was foreseen in 2006. During his first week as dean for the School of Science and Technology, Thomas Mundie calculated when the college would run out of laboratory capacity. With this knowledge, the college wove new labs into its campus facilities plan. "This particular building has a unique history," Kaufman said during the ceremony. "As some of you know, every student at GGC has to take a laboratory science as part of his or her general education curriculum. Additionally, as the college has grown, we have been very pleased that our biology major has been very popular. Indeed, we have over 800 biology majors, making it the second largest major on campus. "And we will be adding a chemistry major in the near future. Consequently, we need lots of laboratory space." The new laboratory facility is designed for eventual incorporation into the college's planned Allied Health and Sciences building, which has not yet been funded. It will feature brick, glass and metal architecture to complement existing campus buildings. Of the seven laboratories, one will be dedicated to computational sciences, one to multidisciplinary research, one to physics, one to natural sciences, and three to biology and chemistry courses. They will be equipped with an advanced audio-visual system, including high-definition and three-dimensional imaging capabilities. Each lab will accommodate 24 students. GGC's 10 existing labs are located in Building A and were built for freshmen and sophomore courses offered through the Gwinnett University Center, which originally occupied the space. These labs are operating at maximum capacity, including evening and Saturday sessions. The college has put the new laboratory facility on a fast-track construction schedule, with occupancy scheduled by the first day of classes in late August. The $7 million, 24,000-square-foot facility is funded by the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents. The laboratory facility will be located in a former parking lot adjacent to the Library and Learning Center. The college is gradually creating a pedestrian campus, with parking located around a pedestrian core.

DataXstream enables you to accelerate your disaster recovery planning, eliminate risks through experience and industry best practices, and implement proven, streamlined, and effective disaster recovery solutions.
Why Virtualization Leads to Better Disaster Recovery
Downtime, no matter what the cause, impacts more than daily interactions. It effects the integrity of databases and the applications that use them. For example, a disaster recovery strategy that relies on nightly tape backups risks a whole day's worth of data being lost should an unplanned event cause IT systems to crash a few hours or even minutes before a backup process kicks off. A better disaster recovery strategy is needed.
According to Gartner, "Business continuity and disaster recovery managers can use virtualization to reduce hardware costs, improve testing flexibility, reduce the impact of hardware differences and better deliver successful plans." For more information from Gartner: Business Continuity Management Key Initiative Overview.
With virtualization, an entire server – hardware configuration, firmware settings, OS installation and configuration, applications, and data – is stored as just a few files on a disk. That means that whatever you do to protect your files can be done to protect a virtual machine. Implications for disaster recovery include:
- Simplified Backup and Replication,
- Accelerated Provisioning,
- Hardware Independence,
- Reduced Infrastructure Requirements, and
- Simplified DR Process, and Advanced DR Management and Automation.

Insights into primate diversity: lessons from the rhesus macaque
29 Jun 2012
New research published in BMC Genetics shows that the rhesus macaque has three times as much genetic variation than humans. However despite much of this extra variation being within genes, it does not affect protein function. Consequently damaging variations are at similar levels in macaques and humans - indicating a strong selection pressure to maintain gene function regardless of mutation rate or population size.
Humans and rhesus macaques shared a common ancestor approximately 25 million years ago. Although there are now over seven billion humans on the planet only 100,000 years ago the human population was as low as one million. The effective human population, the number of people required to explain current genetic variation rate, was until recently less than 8,000.
The population size of rhesus macaques is in the millions and is exceeded only by humans (among primates). However there are 13 subspecies which have evolved to exploit environments as diverse as savannah and forests, and across a range of climate zones.
A team of researchers led by Christina Barr and David Goldman from the NIH determined that the effective population size for these primates was 80,000, ten times that of humans. Analysis of genetic variation, using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), showed that the macaque genome had three times higher genetic variation than humans. Most of these SNP were previously unknown and were disproportionally found in functionally important regions of DNA and each known gene had at least one SNP.
Dr. Goldman explained, "Although macaques have more variation than humans in the protein coding regions of genes, the ratio of variation in these regions compared to non-coding regions is significantly lower. Additionally the macaque variation is less likely to alter protein function. This brings down the amount of damaging variation to a level close to what was actually seen in humans."
Dr Barr continued "Our comparative approach across primate species (human and macaques) gives us a genomic view of evolutionary selection and reaffirms the effects of population history on genetic variation. Not very long ago, on an evolutionary timescale, there were more macaques than people, and the genomes of both species are a legacy of those times past."

Up against teams from Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire, Ellesmere Port managed to secure 1,110 votes to narrowly beat off 2nd Place team Novocastrians, who tallied up 1,098. Ellesmere Port would like to say a huge thank you to all our members, their families, supporters and the community for really getting behind this campaign. All their teams have worked incredibly hard rallying the troops to vote for their club. The support they received from various social networking groups was phenomenal, including the Pride of the Port Facebook group, the Whitby Sports and Social Facebook group and others retweeting on twitter and emailing their pleas.
The competition was aimed at getting all the grass roots rugby clubs across the UK fired up for Volunteers Weekend on 15th/16th June when we have all been encouraged to work together on a project to, not only enhance our club, but to also get us all working together and involving the local community. EPRUFCs main project is to improve the changing facilities currently on offer to our female players and members. They have limitted funds to do this and so any donations to the cause would be gratefully received, B&Q Ellesmere Port and Ellesmere Port timber have already, very kindly, donated some paint, paint brushes timber, plaster board and rollers but we desperately in need other materials. Andy Joyce, one of the main EPRUFC 'front men' said 'If people can not donate materials but they can donate some time during the weekend then pop down to the Whitby Sports and Social Club and we will soon find something for you to get involved with.
Ellesmere Port Rugby Club has steadily grown in numbers over the last 10 years and is a real Community Club with something to offer everyone. We have Senior male teams, a Vets team, 10 Junior teams covering ages 5-17 (mixed teams upto age 12), 2 Girls teams at U13 and U15 and are developing a Ladies Touch Rugby Team. We will be running Touch Rugby for ladies and gents through the summer for anyone who wants to ease themselves back into the game or maybe just give a new sport a try. For more details go to www.pitchero.com/clubs/ellesmereport'
Sharks Community Trust would like to congratulate Ellesmere Port for their success and wish them all well for their 'volunteers' weekend.

City manager stresses airport as key to Yakima's future
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Yakima's new city manager wrapped up his first week on the job. City council has high hopes for Tony O'Rourke. KIMA's Jim Niedelman sat down with him to find out more about how he will address the problems in the city in a two-part interview.
Part one focused on is management style and how to address the city's infrastructure's needs. Part two focused on his ideas for economic development, professional sports in the city and what he will get done by the end of his two-year contract.
Here are the questions and answers:
What's your approach to running a city?
"Like a business."
How so?
"Well, I mean, in effect, cities are public corporations. And, you have a board of directors, the city council, the city manager, effectively the CEO and you have the responsibility to customers to deliver quality, reasonably priced services and products. No different than any business."
A strong city manager form of government puts you in kind of in a bit of a pressure cooker. How do you move a City Council forward that has, let's say, divergent opinions on issues like they do here?
"Well, the initiative here will be on our strategic plan and to create a common vision, a common purpose for the City Council to focus in on what I would call the vital few issues that we need to really stay focused on. As we complete the citizen's survey input, probably that will drive the focus of, of the council's strategies. Once we've developed those strategies, to stay the course."
Isn't the city manager's function, to some extent, to drive the City Council, especially in a strong form of government?
"Well, to facilitate a city council, absolutely."
One of the issues here is infrastructure. We've got some city streets in bad shape. Some traffic signals don't work. Yet, some cities have already taken the step to implement a $20 car tab fee in this valley. We were talking about that here, but it seems the can gets kicked down the line. Where do you stand on trying to get these things going? Is raising revenue, the whole taxes versus fees thing, is that a bad word politically?
"Well, it's not necessarily a bad word, but it shouldn't be the first option. The first option should be to control and evaluate your cost structure. You know, does the business model today represent the resources we're going to see in the future. And, I think, you know, though we're going through a recession, that government is going through a more profound change. I think we're going into an era of permanent constraints and limits, not temporary. And, given that, we have to live within those constraints and prove to the public that we're doing the best job possible in optimizing our existing expenses through our current structure or changed structure. And, only then should we be asking for additional revenues."
Well, how do you take care of the streets without it?
"That's a real catch 22 because that is a major asset of the public and the city. We're gonna have to find the funds, I think, to make sure that we're making investments in our infrastructure because long term, it's gonna cost us a lot more to replace and renew them than making incremental investments in them."
This council was exuberant about you when it came to offering you this job. The members mentioned you had ideas about bringing in outside development to build this community. What are these ideas?
"Creating a public-private sector entity in Yakima of governments and for profit and not for profit organizations to help underwrite expanded airline service. I mean the airport is a major asset, which is probably by all measures under-performing. And, how do we it's development and growth because getting more access to Yakima will represent, you know, better economics, better business opportunities and also more convenience just for residents."
Do you feel that the tourist side is going to drive that though more than the businesses that are here?
"I think it will be a combination. You know, it's a plus for businesses. It will allow, many businesses need access to air service. If we can provide air service other than to Seattle, places like Portland, Salt Lake as a starting point, that will encourage businesses both to grow here and expand and come here. In addition clearly, it will support additional tourism."
Should Yakima have a professional team?
"I think it would be great."
Any kind of sports team?
"I think it would be great to have professional teams because it brings brand awareness to Yakima. I mean, I've had experience with creating and sanctioned PGA events in communities I've worked for, ATP tennis championship events. Those things bring brand identity to a community. I think that's a plus."
Well, we're losing a team. So, how do we sort of get that back? We've had other sports teams too. They haven't stayed.
"Yeah, you know, hopefully, we can look at that from an economic development perspective, see if it makes sense for Yakima. And, if it does, go out and recruit and get other professional franchises to come here because I think, personally, they do have a very positive impact as far as creating a brand awareness to a community."
What should the people of Yakima be able to point to at the end of your contract in two years and say, "Oh, Tony O'Rourke did that?" How do we hold you accountable for what we should see in two years?
"I'm glad you raised that point."
Beyond balancing the budget.
"Yeah, and that's a given. Very results oriented so, hopefully, on August 28th, the Council's going to have a strategic planning session. From that, we're going to identify deliverables to the community. What we intend to achieve, hold me accountable for that list of deliverables."
And, can they be done in two years?
"We'll see. We should be held accountable to them. They will clearly be in print. They'll be transparent and people should be aware, this is what we need to get measured against. This is our report card and we need to have mid-term and final grades."

Genuine VW Thermostats
Volkswagen thermostats perform a very important function. The job of the VW thermostat is simple but vital to the proper operation of your car's engine. It works to regulate the engine's operating temperature to prevent overheating while keeping it hot enough to cycle oil properly.
The thermostat is located inside of a housing that connects to a radiator hose and runs into the engine. When it is functioning properly, the valve is held shut or allowed to open by spring tension. As the engine in your Volkswagen begins to warm and the coolant heats up the thermostat will begin to open to allow coolant to flow into the engine and will open completely when the engine is operating beyond the operating temperature range.
If your thermostat is damaged, it will compromise the engine's ability to regulate the temperature and stay within a safe operating range. Symptoms of a bad Volkswagen thermostat include overheating and failure to reach operating temperatures. Either way, your engine is in very serious risk of major damage if you do not get this part replaced right away. The factory OEM Volkswagen thermostat is an easy part to replace and OEM parts ensure a perfect fit and operation each time.

First off, allow me to say that she is such a great dog, and I would keep her in a heartbeat if she wasn't illegal to own.
The vet says that she is about 2-3 years old, and is as sweet as they come. We found her wandering around our neighborhood next to a busy road on Monday around lunchtime, and took her in. Nobody has claimed her, but I'm not really expecting anyone to come forward. Pitbulls are notorious for having bad owners in my neck of the woods, so I doubt someone cares enough to look for her.
She's pretty skinny, but muscular. It looks like she may have given birth not too long ago. We had her dewormed as a precaution, but we haven't had her tested for heartworms nor have we gotten her any shots yet ... just in case someone claimed her. If nobody comes forward tomorrow, I'm going to take her to our vet for her shots, to have her tested for heartworms, and to schedule a spay.
Pitbulls are illegal in Miami-Dade County, so I'm kinda harboring a fugitive here. Her owner has not come forward yet, so, due to the urgency of the matter caused by the legality of it all, I am going to have to try and find her a forever home pretty shortly. I don't want to adopt her to a home that couldn't handle her, although she's not much to take care of. She's quiet, obedient, very people-friendly, playful, and just wants nothing but to be loved.
Here's the kicker: My neighbor is an animal control officer. I've been sneaking her out on walks whenever he's not home. Since we do not own her, we have no legal rights to her. If they find her, she is considered a stray and will be euthanized within 5 days of being caught.
So, she's people-friendly, not shy, loves car rides and belly rubs, obedient, crate-trained, and seems to pick up on commands quickly --she learned "sit" in 2 minutes. I haven't tested her out around my 3 huskies yet, so I don't know if she's dog-friendly or not. At the vet she seemed happy to see all of the other dogs, but none were within close proximity. She hates cats, but is being cool around my bird.
Here are my questions: Is she a good candidate for adoption? Are there any other things I should test her with before I adopt her out?
Once it gets to the point where I feel she is ready to leave, I want to find her the perfect home. I am willing to drive pretty much anywhere for her, and it will obviously have to be away from Miami. My Fiance and I are prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure that she gets the loving home that she deserves.
Are there any pitbull rescue organizations still operating in South Florida that could help me search for a forever home? Maybe I could bring her to a rescue to have her evaluated before they feel comfortable to list her for adoption?
I am completely new to pitbulls, so I don't know what to check for.
These pictures are from Monday. That scratch on her nose looks worse than it is. It's a pretty small scratch and is healing up very nicely.
For comparison: She's pretty small. I'm 5'2", and she's below my knee. My huskies are a couple inches above my knee.
I will get better pictures as she feels more comfortable, and take a video of her playing so people can see that she's not all business, .
EDIT: She is not chipped, nor was she wearing a collar. I have posted "FOUND" notices everywhere I could think of. They are all over my neighborhood, all of my local vets, petfinder.com, craigslist, another random pet site that I can't remember the name of ... I've taken out an ad in both of my local newspapers, and I've even tried Facebook (longshot, I know). I called all of the animal shelters and the humane society to let them know that I found a dog and described the dog to them just in case someone calls looking for her. No luck.

PSU: OCZ StealthXStream 700W or GamerXStream 850W (not sure,needhelp!)
GFX: 8800GT 1GB (Already having the 512mb, so will use dual)
- for such a system, do i really need 850W or 700W is quite enough? i'll be getting the i7 D0 stepping cpu, so i'll overclock it with the ram as well.
- one more question, if i plan to get the GTX 260, can i SLI it with the 8800gt
That's a nice system you are building there mate. 700W is easily enough to power the hardware you have listed, either with single or dual 8800 GT's. As for SLIing a GTX260 and an 8800GT, unfortunately it's not possible as both cards must be the same model.
Now although 700 watts should be enought to power your setup and even a GTX260 along with an 8800GT you still need to consider the amperage the PSU can output. Please post which 700watt PSu your referring to so you can be sure it will be enough for the long haul.
To check that you would need to see how much amparage the +12v rail/s can output and match that up to the current requirements for such a setup. As for a core i7 with a gtx260 you would probably need around 40-45 amps after your overclock of the CPU, but that's just my rough estimate.
Although you can't SLI an 8800GT and a GTX260 you can always add your GTX260 as your primary GPU and let the 8800GT destroy physx processes as your physx processing card. This is not something that's used by all games, but little by little more and more games are using physx in their games so it should become more valuable as time goes by.
Often wondered why some people have bought a 260 and kept the 8800gt for physx.
Seemed logical to me that perhaps they sell the 8800gt and spend that extra cash on a 280+ ?

Yeah, that's true it would be better to have a single more powerful card, but if you don't want to hassle with selling the card or you already have made the purchase of a GTX260 the 8800GT as physx is not a bad idea and better then sitting away collecting dust.

Prestige Cosmestic Color Treat Anti-Aging Lipstick Review and Swatches
Call me no nonsense but I honestly don't see the point of anti-aging cosmetics. Granted, I am obsessed with anti-aging skincare but extending it to my cosmetics seems pointless.
Prestige Cosmestic Color Treat Anti-Aging Lipstick contains some sort of anti-aging technology the point of which is lost on me. Can't we just have a cool lipstick sans bells and whistles please?
Yeah, I guess I'm kinda no nonsense when it comes to lipstick.
Prestige Color Treat Anti-Aging Lipstick has an anti-aging complex that makes lips look fuller while hydrating them even after color is removed….
Packaging and price wise Prestige's newest lipstick is ahead of the game. You can find this lipstick for around $3.99-$5.99 depending where you buy it. It comes housed in a rather cute gray tube with Prestige written in pink script on the top. You won't be embarrassed whipping this out of your purse for touch ups as I find the packaging quite sweet.
The lipstick itself is decently pigmented with a slight citrus taste. I purchased the shade Radiant Coral which has a slight metallic finish. The shade is really super for Summer as it leans towards being a mix of golden coral and pink grapefruit, quite gorgeous!
Aside from pigmentation, price, and packaging, I felt the lipstick wasn't all that incredible. It applies like a lip balm and doesn't glide easily onto lips. The overall feel is very waxy, not exactly what I look for in a lipstick formula. If I wanted a lip balm I'd have purchased one, not loving the idea of a lip balm disguised as a lipstick!
- Anyone who likes lip balm (hey, it's glorified lip balm with color!)!
- Anyone who wants lipstick to ACT like lipstick (this acts like a pigmented lip balm!).
- Anyone who doesn't like waxy chapsticks!
You may like this if you enjoy lip balms, I personally prefer glosses and hydrating lip treatments. For me the waxy formula is unforgivable and uncomfortable on my lips. Although the color is very pretty, I couldn't get too excited about much else aside from the packaging. Although it does wear pretty long it doesn't feel entirely comfortable on my lips so I'm missing all that long wear action due to a waxy feel on my lips which makes me want to wipe it right off. I didn't experience any long term anti-aging benefits however I haven't been using it long enough so who knows.
You may like this if you're a balm lover but I personally prefer something with a bit more hydration which glides onto my lips and doesn't need a tugging action to apply.
No likey.
Budget price isn't worth it in the long run.
Anyone try?
Share it!
This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.

pity the formula isn't great… such a gorgeous color!

ewwww i HATE waxy chapsticks,muse you saved me more money yet again! (even if it's only 3 bucks)
6/16/10 11:13 pickledgreens:
I bought one and dumped it. It's bad. I really dislike all the anti-aging stuff they put in color cosmetics these days. I don't think it makes the formulas any better.

New Law Says Lenders and Borrowers Meet to Fend Off Foreclosures
New York, NY —
For homeowners facing unaffordable mortgage payments, courts across the five boroughs are offering conferences between lenders and borrowers in an effort to avoid foreclosures. A new law requires that the two sides meet. Elected officials and advocates thought the process would save thousands from losing their homes but so far things have gotten off to a slow start. WNYC's Cindy Rodriguez visited Queens Civil Supreme Court and has this report:
REPORTER: Getting a loan servicer to reduce her mortgage payment has been a drawn out process for Raquel. The mother of three didn't want to give her full names because she says she's embarrassed about her situation:
RAQUEL: With this bank you keep on calling and nobody answer the phone….maybe they have so much foreclosure going on right now.
REPORTER: Raquel works in housekeeping at a hotel and earns about 24-hundred dollars a month – that's less than the amount of her current monthly mortgage payment. She bought her home in South Ozone Park Queens for just over 300-thousoand dollars. Raquel sits on a bench with her mother and her attorney. All of three of them just finished meeting with a court appointed mediator.
RAQUEL: The guy in there he's trying very hard cuz what he already told us today, he's not leaving until he hears something because this is like my fourth time coming here.
REPORTER: Leonard Florio is the court appointed mediator in Queens. The conferences are conducted in his office. All parties sit at a long wooden table perpendicular to his desk. The words Plaintiff and Defendant are taped on each side. In front of him are a stack of cases:
FLORIO: Uh on today's calendars we have 16 matters scheduled for conferences purposes.
REPORTER: Everyone sits close to each other and lenders are not the only ones showing up unprepared. Earlier, Florio saw a woman who came to the conference on behalf of her mother:
FLORIO: The borrower has not yet provided all the paperwork although this case has been here now since January.
REPORTER: But these housing conferences in Queens and other boroughs are facing an even more basic problem – homeowners are not taking advantage of them. According to court administrators in Queens, between October and March, more than 5-thousand homeowners facing foreclosure were sent court notices but only a small percentage responded and so far fewer than 400 conferences have been held. The results have been slightly better in other boroughs and court personnel point out that default rates are always high among defendants in any type of court case not just foreclosures. Still advocates that helped implement the housing conferences acknowledge it's been an uneasy start. Josh Zinner is from the Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project. The organization has been working with groups providing counseling and legal help to homeowners statewide. Zinner says more direct outreach is needed:
ZINNER: And I think all of us are gearing up to do that including making calls knocking on doors, public service announcements anything that really can break through and educate people that in fact there is this process available for them and there is free assistance available.
REPORTER: Zinner says even when you do get both parties to the table, there's also the problem of getting them to negotiate in a meaningful way:
ZINNER: Throughout the state the conferences have been working better in judicial districts where the courts have taken a more active role in trying to push the parties to settle and frankly to push the lenders to be flexible and to come up with reasonable solutions.
REPORTER: He points to Buffalo as an example of where settlement rates are higher. But also acknowledges that property values there have plummeted more severely than in New York City and the mortgages are much smaller - both factors that might make settlements more appealing for banks.
REPORTER: In Queens, only 13 settlements have been reached. Court personnel says it's important that the agreements be realistic. Leonard Florio says he often calculates payments for loans at specified interest rates in order to demonstrate to people how much they will owe each month:
FLORIO: …it is one thing for the person to say they want to stay in the house but if they get in the house and they can't turn on the gas and they can't hook up the electric then being in that house is not in their best interest.
REPORTER: Loans must be sub-prime in order to qualify for a housing conference which means many times, the homeowner was given a loan they could never pay off. Advocates say half a million dollar loans given to people earning poverty wages are common. Florio says one way to deal with that is to get other people in the home with jobs to sign on to the loan so there income can be counted too.
REPORTER: At Queens Civil Supreme Court, the conferences are wrapping up for the day.
FLORIO;_Do we have the banks attorney's outside? Alright, let's start bringing them in
REPORTER: When the homeowners don't show up, Florio says he's forced to release the cases.
FLORIO:…I have the plaintiffs here. I don't have the borrowers.
And allow the banks to move forward with the foreclosure.
For wnyc, I'm Cindy Rodriguez

Home > Art & Culture > Craft & Design > Aurorachana
Coco came to Auroville in 1973. For one year she worked in the Fraternity settlement and initiated there a Kindergarten cum crochet workshop. She then returned to Germany for three months to wind up her affairs, and when she came back she started her own crochet workshop in the Hope settlement at the other end of Auroville under the name of Aurorachana. (Rachana is a Sanskrit word for creation). She worked with 15 girls from Kuilapalayam village, mainly producing lampshades, curtains, bed covers, etc. Around 1979 the girls had been additionally trained in embroidery, which could be best implemented in combination with tailoring. According to the demand at the time, the tailoring section developed quite well and export orders were coming in. Throughout the eighties and beginning of the nineties, the tailoring activity sustained the development of the community of Hope, and Coco could express herself through designing garments, and occasionally through special designs for dance groups and other cultural costumes.
Early times..
In the early Auroville years nothing
much could be purchased in the
budding township itself, and nothing was processed either. As the Hope
gardens provided an abundance of seasonal fruits, Coco started to cook
jams, make peanut butter and bake bread as a sideline, out of which
the Hope bakery developed later with its 'Delicacies'.
From 'Delicacies' to 'Aurorachana'
For many years Coco had collected old brass items from the market and small antiques for her house, and she always admired the old craft and carving art from local artists. Her dream was to have an antique shop and to deal in these sort of items. In 1993 that dream came true, and in collaboration with a friend in Germany a first container with colonial style furniture was ordered and sent. The couple then started to collect old furniture and employed carpenters to restore the often broken pieces to their former beauty. Once started, there was no stopping, and the sales and purchase just took its own course.
Today Aurorachana is exporting an average of ten containers per year, and has 30 full time employees and many subcontractors to handle the work. Of course, all Aurorachana's employees are paid provident fund, and medical insurance for their whole families, including their children. Part of the profits also find their way to the benefit of the workers.
Specialising in restoration
four years Coco and Clemens have been working with a French restorer
in order to learn the details of European restoration and to constantly
improve the training of the carpenters and the quality of their work.
Many tools and machines have been imported to comply with this high
standard of craftsmanship, and the wax applied for the final touches
is imported from Belgium to give a high quality finish.
Import & export facility
Out of the need to take the utmost care in handling of the sometimes fragile goods, Aurorachana has developed an import & export facility to keep control over the movements of goods and to make sure that the containers arrive in good condition. This service extends also to Aurovilians and people from Pondicherry, who often have problems with Customs or other related procedures.

Allison Weiss — Allison Weiss Was Right All Along
One of my very favorite rock fanzines Roctober is quoted in Allison Weiss' hand-made, zine-like press kit as saying she should change her first name to "Adorable." I can't really say it any better than Jake Austin, who can spot sweet talent when he sees it.
Yes, I've been sucked in, too. The scrappy, bespectacled little gal in a cheap vintage dress moved to Athens in 2005 and ended up playing festivals like Athfest and Atlanta's 500 Song for Kids benefit, while relying on Internet friend-fan support to put out this, the most recent of her six records (!). (Love how she gets her name into the title of Was Right All Along, too; something Woody Allen should have done long ago with one of his films.)
If you're thinking that this all throws up some "too twee as hell" red hipster bandana flags, you'd be right. If you liked the geek chic flick Paper Heart you're going to love this CD. Thing is, I'm just a sucker for a vulnerable young confessor with terse wordplay, and she's not one-dimensional in her adorability. Her work is based in the strength of a young woman who can write kick ass pop rock songs like "Fingers Crossed" and "You + Me + Alcohol," two of about eight great songs here. They combine the grit-and-sleekness of 90s indie rock with the raw imagery of spontaneously tearing up from unexpectedly torn hearts and staring down at your wine-stained scrunch boots, things said that were even worse than things done before lovers drank themselves to black-out states.
There are a lot of records that want to be Allison Weiss Was Right All Along, but that's not why it's good. It's good because it's there for you, like the friend you call as you're heading into a liquor-fueled hot mess. And for the churlish lo-fi cult she may be too sweet and accessible (don't expect experiments in easy listening black metal) and for the Lady GaGa crowd she's who they step on in line to get their Grey Goose at the bar. There's a restrained crunch and bite to "Fingers Crossed" (guess what I'm suggesting be the single?) and elsewhere, blunt unironic lead guitar working perfectly with her acoustic bomp. A crackly warmth deep inside all ten of these tracks which just makes the lack of flash all the better for it. Yeah, you got another convert, you sweet-voiced shimmy-shyster you, Ms. Weiss.

Don't have enough money in your travel fund to jet off to Paris this weekend? Not to worry- you can still dress like a French woman!
Brit (of Brit & Co) shows you how to make easy reverse tie dye jersey-knit scarves (we're loving the pink and navy one).
If you saw our recent pin from Say Yes to Hoboken of a cute rose-colored skirt, you'll know we love bows (BowTie Black Fit in Clouds, anyone?). So needless to say, we loved this fun Fashion Friday bow feature on Momspark: Rows Upon Rows of Bows.
We just discovered Feather Magazine and we love their fun posts, like How to Use Everything in Your Closet and The Bottom Line: Sweatshirts. As they say, "Lazy Sundays are no excuse to lounge around in your frumpiest attire. Sweatshirts have gotten a serious upgrade since your high school days." What do you think of the new stylish sweatshirt trend?
Remember how we mentioned last week that emerald is the Pantone color of the year? Well, WorkChic has even more suggestions on how to incorporate it into your work wardrobe (plus an adorable picture of Kate Middleton rocking the cool new shade).
