Bankruptcy, Restructuring & Commercial Law Advisory
July 26' 2012
By Kevin J. Walsh and Ella Shenhav
Licensees of intellectual property, especially trademarks, may breathe easier thanks to a Circuit-splitting decision authored by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this month. In Sunbeam Products, Inc. v. Chicago American Mfg., LLC, --- F.3d ----, 2012 WL 2687939 (7th Cir. 2012), the Seventh Circuit has bolstered a nondebtor party's post-contract-rejection rights in intellectual property.
Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code was promulgated by Congress in response to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal's decision in Lubrizol Enterprises, Inc. v. Richmond Metal Finishers, Inc., 756 F.2d 1043 (4th Cir. 1985). In Lubrizol, the Court held that when a debtor rejects an intellectual property license, the nondebtor party retains no rights in the intellectual property, but rather it is merely entitled to a money damages remedy. In 1988, three years after Lubrizol, Congress amended the Bankruptcy Code by adding Section 365(n), which allows licensees to continue using intellectual property under certain circumstances after the debtor rejects the license. The amendment was not a perfect fix as the Code's definition of intellectual property (and thus the scope of those property rights protected by Section 365(n)) includes patents, copyrights and trade secrets, but excludes trademarks. This omission has been interpreted many different ways, but no court of appeals has picked up the gauntlet and ruled on the topic – until now.
In Sunbeam Products, the Court explicitly and vehemently disagreed with the Lubrizol decision. Explaining that "nothing about [the contract rejection] process implies that any rights of the other contracting party have been vaporized," id. at *3, the Court held that the nondebtor party retained its rights to use the trademarks included in the rejected contract. The Court also reasoned that Section 365(n) is not implicated when trademarks are involved. Rather, the Court found that because a non-breaching party retains its rights under a breached contract pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law, so too would a non-breaching counterparty to a rejected contract retain its rights under the rejected contract.
With two Circuit Courts disagreeing on this important question, it remains to be seen how courts in other jurisdictions will respond. Licensees of intellectual property, especially trademarks, should consult with knowledgeable bankruptcy counsel about the many issues arising from the Sunbeam Products decision and how their rights might be impacted.
If you have any questions about this decision or its implications, please call your principal Mintz Levin attorney or one of the attorneys noted on this advisory.

US people can create a personal model of shoes. I dream to do the same, why not? There isn't a valid argumentation to explain why we can't be able to express ourselves with a pair of shoes designed by our creativity. Converse was a reference for me and I hope it understand how many important is for me to create my custom shoes.
Letter to
Converse Inc.
I love your brand since I buy my first pair of Converse. Now, I'm asking you to start to sell custom shoes around the world, beacause I trust in you and I'm hoping you could allow me to express myself wity your shoes.

Media—news and entertainment—is available everywhere, from every direction.
This is the time of year when members of county councils in each of Indiana's 92 counties put in many hours away from families and businesses, sitting in public meetings, discussing how your tax money is going to be spent in the year ahead in your county's towns, libraries and how it will be spent on your county roads.
If this year is similar to the past several years, there will be much frustration and maybe a few department heads will leave the county council budget hearings in tears.
Government is a mystery to many of us. It is easy to question the common sense ability and, sometimes, the honesty of those elected to serve us and the people they hire to do the daily work.
Heroes are all around us.
They have names like Clint and Paul and Jake and Todd and Harvey and Sue and Mary.
We can't bring back those brave men and women who perished on Sept. 11, 2001 but we can honor those around us who sacrifice so much to serve us.
My first close encounter with a hero came when I was very young, shortly after I was born really.
My first hero was Glen Zellers Jr.
"Junie," as his mother called him, was my cousin. He was about 20 years my senior and his children were close to my age.
I remember marveling as he let his children swing from one of his upraised, muscled arms like it was a jungle gym.
September 11, 2001.
With each passing year it becomes more apparent how much our lives were changed by attacks on American soil, not by another nation but by those who hold another ideal. An ideal that we cannot accept. An ideal that is opposed to The American Way of Life.
It has been 14 years and we continue to struggle to regain "normalcy." All the time we face the nagging fear that this is the new normal for America and the world.
So, what was it like on Sept. 11, 2001? For every American, there is a different story to tell. Here is mine.
My perspective is not much different than that of many reporters and editors.
I was living in Waveland and had just started a new job as the editor of a daily newspaper some miles away.
Some say we are losing our sensitivity to crime. I think that, as a whole, that may be true of our society.
People enjoy seeing crime portrayed in the movies. That's nothing new. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the earliest silent movies involved an explosion.
One of my favorite TV shows as a young adult was "Barney Miller." It was a comedy set in a New York City police precinct station run by Captain Barney Miller.
The main characters were all somewhat squirrelly. Miller was the sanest of the lot.
Each episode dealt with the crazies that were arrested by the detectives in the precinct.
The show was popular and entertaining but didn't really treat the victims of crime very seriously.
When you get Windows 10 for free, it's worth every dime.
It is a work in progress.
When Microsoft offered Windows 10 for free as an upgrade from Windows 7 and 8 for the first year, I was skeptical.
An optimist says a glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty. I want to know what's in that glass.
When Microsoft began running TV commercials with cute toddlers and the company claimed those toddlers will still be using Windows 10 when they retire, that only fueled my skepticism.
At first, I thought Windows 10 would get you hooked for a year and then Microsoft would threaten to pull the plug on your machine unless you paid money to keep it.
It's amazing to search the Internet for one thing and then learn other things, things you really didn't care to know.
Linda is at Amanda's this week. On Saturday, Joey Robert Kinzel was born, making us grandparents for the seventh time, counting Terry's two children. So, last Saturday, while the dog and cat and I were home alone I decided to look up toys I loved when I was a kid. I was looking for a set of Doodyville buildings from the "Howdy Doody" TV show.
I remember the buildings were printed in full color on the back of a cereal box. You cut out the pieces and put the tabs and slots together.
Office pranks can be a source of amusement and often indicate good morale among the employees. My boss and my boss's boss are both on vacation this week so I thought this would be a good time to write about office pranks.
I have been the recipient and the source of more than one office prank over the years. I remember them fondly. And, I have heard about others that I wish I had been in on.
My prankster days go back to college. I was deeply involved in our school's radio station. As a freshman I had the idea I would attend the basketball games and every other event where attractive females might be in attendance.

Variations on a theme are fine, as long as there are, you know, variations. It's been going on for years. Even the earliest electronic games took Pong and turned it into soccer and hockey, eventually metamorphosing into Breakout and Arkanoid and beyond. Gaming has always gone with what it could do, either limited or encouraged by available tech. Now the Wii is whipping up new spins on marble manipulation, with Monkey Ball, Rayman, Wario, and even Zelda. How does Kororinpa: Marble Mania help, or hinder, the cause? Let's get the ball rolling.
The mania is spread across 45 normal levels, set in four motifs such as the woods, the city, and candy toy land. The tilting and twisting challenges come from various terrain obstacles that try to hamper the path to the red crystals needed to beat each level. There's also a harder-to-grab green crystal, that's used for unlocking content. These levels start out innocently enough, and actually stay that way, with only a few real headscratchers, like the giant apple. There's a counting clock, but no time limit, and no lives. Even the hardest level can be beaten within five minutes with this setup, and the longer levels even have checkpoints, draining the challenge from the game.
While most of the game is just trying not to fall off into the void, the terrain tries to play havoc beyond unkind turns, with sticky floors and icy paths. They are joined by hazards like chomping scissors, malicious magnifiers, and magnetized railways. All are used sparingly, and often placed seemingly as afterthoughts. A nifty sliding platform that's controlled by the same Wiimote that's guiding your marble shows brief flashes of inspiration, as it hardly makes a cameo throughout the game.
You can also play Marble Mania with a buddy, via split screen. Here the race element shines a bit brighter, but with no collision between marbles, or tilting the other players field, it's still ultimately a competition against the clock.
With no "lives" and plenty of mid-level checkpoints, the average player will be able to whip through Marble Mania in a few hours, and the multiplayer component doesn't extend the experience much.
When it comes down to it, Marble Mania feels like a polished tech demo, or a piece of shareware that will go on being unregistered indefinitely. The controls are tight--some of the best on the Wii yet--and the levels all make sense, but the game has a sterile feel, as if designed wholly by a committee of engineers and then painted with a veneer of basic pleasantries.
It's obvious that it needed more time to gestate for a real experience to appear. You won't exactly suffer through it, but the humdrum nature won't have you going back to find all the crystals to unlock mirror mode, or trying to get good completion times for some new background music. And while the new marbles are all worth playing a stage or two with, even their novelty is warped by vapid logic, as they are the easiest to unlock.
It's tremendously easy to walk away from Marble Mania thinking, that was an interesting experience, and that someone should really flesh it out, and make a real game.
This mania is manic. It's a bipolar challenge swinging wildly towards the mundane, with only the occasional blip of opposition and aggravation that would be welcomed as liberators. The game is technically solid with fine controls, but it's like that chicken dinner Mom made a thousand times, sure it's tasty, and it's filling, but wouldn't you rather eat something else? Hopefully the next Wii tilt game can stick its neck out a little further and get away from Marble Mania's humble beginnings.

High-End Laptop Recommendations Our holiday guides have covered a lot of products so far, and just on the laptop side of things we've looked at budget laptops, Chromebooks, and mainstream offerings – and let's not forget the related Tablets guide, which overlaps with hybrid devices.

Nashville, Tenn. — The Western Kentucky University baseball team held #19 Vanderbilt to just five runs, but could only muster one run off Commodore pitching in a 5-1 loss Tuesday night at Hawkins Field.
The loss snapped a three-game win streak for the Hilltoppers as they fell to 18-12 on the season. Vandy improved to 20-10.
Walks in both the second and third innings led the Vanderbilt's first two runs of the game. After Andrew Giobbi led off the second with a free pass, he was able to steal second, them move to third on a Parker Hanks flyout. Giobbi then came home to score on a Rye Davis wild pitch to get the Commodores on the board first. David Flaherty drew a one-out walk in the third inning from WKU reliever Evan Teage, and after moving to second base on a balk, he scored on a Dominic de la Osa single to put Vanderbilt in front 2-0.
Vandy starter Nick Christiani limited the Hilltoppers to just five hits in his start, but ran into some trouble in the third after Wade Gaynor led off the inning with a double. Two outs later, Christiani walked J.B. Paxson, then hit Matt Bracken to load the bases. Matt Payton then drew a bases-loaded walk to force in Gaynor with WKU's first run before a strikeout ended the inning.
Christiani (3-1) picked up the win for the 'Dores as he threw 6.2 innings, allowing just the one run and striking out six.
Hilltopper shortstop Terrence Dayleg showed off some defense in the bottom of the fifth as he made a diving catch to steal a base hit from Pedro Alvarez, then threw Flaherty out at the plate on a relay play when de la Osa tripled to center to keep it a one-run game. However, on the very next play de la Osa stole home to stretch the Commodore lead to 3-1.
Vanderbilt was able to add a fourth run in the seventh inning when a pinch-hit single by Steven Liddle with two outs plated Alvarez to extend the lead to 4-1. The Commodores added an unearned run in the eighth when David Macias scored on a throwing error, and Drew Hayes threw two scoreless innings of relief to notch his second save of the season.
Davis (1-5) suffered the loss as he allowed a run on four hits in two innings of work. Six WKU relievers combined to throw the final six innings, giving up four runs on eight hits.
Wells accounted for two of WKU's six hits to extend his hitting streak to a career-long nine games. Macias led the Commodores with four hits, while de la Osa finished with a three-hit night. Liddle and de la Osa finished with the only two RBI of the night for Vanderbilt.
WKU returns home on Wednesday to host Eastern Kentucky at 6 p.m. (CDT) at Nick Denes Field.

The concept of marriage in Egypt is not an easy subject. While the Egyptians seem to have taken matesin what seems to be mostly throughout monogamous relationships. After the Third Intermediate Period, we start to find ancient "marriage contracts" that incorporate the term shepherd Shemet (price for "marrying" a woman) and especially to define property rights without elaborating on the act of marriage itself itself. More abundant are divorce cases that also deal mostly with property settlements.
|marriage in ancient egyptian
Marriage was the normal and most desirable state for Ancient Egyptians of both genders and all social classes. Athenian men evinced little respect or affection for women and delayed marriage until well into their thirties, but most Egyptian men were eager to follow the advice of the wisdom literature urging them to take a wife while still young so they could found a household and raise a family. Most men were married by the age of twenty to girls who might have been as young as fifteen. There was an age difference, but usually not more than two or three years.
When examining ancient reliefs and statues, it is easy to assume that the ancient Egyptians marriage was similar to the institution today, but beyond these visual cues, there is little in the way of documentation to support this conclusion. No documentary evidence of marriage ceremonies, whether real or marriage as a concept has been found. Usually there was a big party associated with the union of two persons, but we think it was just a social affair and has no real religious or moral implications.
Traditionally, the term Hemet has been translated as "wife", but it is probably more accurately "female partner". The legal and social implications of the word are unclear. Interestingly, the word salvation is the male counterpart in Hemet, but seems to have been rarely used. However, this is probably due to the funerary text most often be associated with men, and thus the female partner is known and defined by her husband.
Hebswt is another word that seems to apply to a female partner, but traditionally it has been translated as "concubine". However, this meaning is less clear because, in a text of the New Kingdom both Hemet and hebswt are used together in apparent reference to the same female. It was suggested that the term could more accurately describe hebswt a second wife or third after the first died or was divorced.
Of course, our modern concept of marriage and romance is a relationship based on love between partners who are willing to share their lives together. But until the 26th dynasty, relatively late in Egyptian history, the bride herself seems to have little choice in marriage. In fact, during this period most of the marriage contracts are made between the father and husband of the girl. The father of the girl and her mother even had much more to say on the issue, then the bride. After the 26th dynasty, the bride seems to have had more to say in her future husband, and we find sentences in marriage contracts that indicate a more defined.
In addition, the tradition of marriages brother / sister or father / daughter has been mostly confined to the kingdom of Egypt, at least until the Greek period. In tales from Egyptian mythology, the gods of marriage between brothers and sisters and fathers and daughters were common in the early periods, and Egyptian kings to perhaps felt it was a royal prerogative to do the same . However, there are also theories that marriages brother / sister may also have strengthened the king's claim to rule. It was not uncommon among ordinary people get married parents. Marriage between cousins, uncles and nieces were quite common in Egypt before the Greek period. Interestingly, after the arrival of Greek, a study found that 24 percent of marriages among the common people were brother / sister relationship.
Marriages were usually between persons of the same class, but seems to have been little consideration given to race or nationality, even. It was not unusual for a northern Egypt to marry a Nubian, or someone, even another country.
Among ordinary people, polygamy may well have existed as it obviously did in the royal class, but if this is the case, it was rare. We excavation known as Deir el Medina as housing for those most in line with mutual monogamy rather than polygamy.
Yet, from the 13th dynasty (1795-1650 BC) on polygamy was common among kings and some of the ruling elite. Although one principal wife (hemet nesw weret) was chosen, others were probably taken by King, to ensure a royal heir, or cement relations with foreign countries or even powerful regional leaders. Kings could have as many as several hundred women, and in some other periods of high officials took more than one wife.
Marriage contracts are not usually tell the age of the parties, but we know from other documents that marriage almost always occurred after sexual adulthood. The average age of girls at puberty was 12 to 13, and about 14 boys. Indeed, the boys, who had to meet certain construction work to support a wife and children in the future, were generally 15 years or more before considering marriage. However, in Roman times, we find the documentation of women being as young as 8 years, though most researchers believe that this is an exception and that the most common age for brides was 12 years or more. In royal marriages, especially between siblings, the parties often seemed to be much younger. We know, for example, that Tutankhamun probably married his sister when he was about nine years.
It was not uncommon that all together for older men who had generally lost their wives to death or divorce to marry very young women "." Qenherkhepeshef, a scribe from Deir El Medina for example married a girl of 12 when he was 54.
Especially during the early periods of ancient Egypt, the groom made a payment to the father of the bride, normally worth about the cost of a slave. Later, this practice was abandoned and later the practice was reversed, where often the father of the bride had to compensate the husband for her maintenance. However, if the divorce took place, the husband was forced to continue some support to his ex-wife, usually amounting to about a third of his earnings.
All this said, there are many indications that husbands and wives in ancient Egypt were often happy and in love. There are many touching portraits and statues of families including spouses and children who disclose their marital pleasure and warmth within the family.

'Ad Masai'? Until When?
When I was thirteen, bumps were hot. Me and all of my sisters would pull padded headbands back over our heads, then slide them forward, so we'd be crowned by an two inch high bump of hair. This was the look in 1995 in the frum community. But the style wasn't restricted to us frummies – it was super hot in the secular world – a decade before, that is. We were duplicating the trends of Seventeen with a ten-year lag.
Sometimes I wonder/hope if some of the cultural and social norms of the religious world are the same as those of the secular world, with a time lag. For example, girls began attending school in the 19th century, while religious girls got access to schooling in the 20th. After most knowledge of natural and herbal birth control was lost to the Western world in the 14th and 15th century, birth control was widely re-introduced in the 1960s. Now, in the 21st century, a significant number of religious women (although less so Chasidic) are using birth control permitted through new "heterim" or Rabbinic allowances for difficult circumstances.
Jill Lepore's recent NYTimes OpEd "Poor Jane's Almanac" reminded me of this concept.
Lepore introduces us to Jane Franklin, one of Benjamin's sixteen siblings. Jane never went to school, barely learned to write, and was married at fifteen. She buried eleven of her twelve children. Although she hungered after knowledge and read when she could, her gender, exacerbated by poverty and circumstance, meant she lived a miserable, limited existence. Benjamin, meanwhile, got to go to school for two years, had an apprenticeship with a printer, ran away when he was unhappy, and took his time recognizing his illegitimate son. When he married, his wife took care of their two children and household, while Benjamin traveled extensively in Europe.
With all of these freedoms, Franklin went on to accomplish too many astounding and varied successes to list here. They include: inventing the lightening rod and bifocals, and making significant discoveries in electricity, meteorology, refrigeration, and ocean currents. He established the first US subscription library, the US post office and was one of the signers of the US Constitution.
While Franklin was clearly a uniquely gifted individual, Lapore prods to us to consider what might have been Jane's impact on the world if she had similar freedoms and opportunities. Indeed, what a different world would we live in, if we would have doubled our number of great leaders by giving women the same freedoms and opportunities as men.
Thankfully, we live in a time where that has begun to happen, where women have gained access to opportunity, allowing for great leaders like Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, Hellen Keller, Rachel Carson, Jane Goodall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Susan B Anthony.
When I read Lapore's description of Jane, I was reminded of the conditions of frum women, particularly Chasidish women. Jane Franklin's limiting 18th century conditions share a lot with the modern day realities of many of our former peers.
And so, coming back to hair bumps, I wonder if the trends towards equal or increased opportunity for women may also drift into the religious community, just with a lag of a fifty or a hundred years….Printable Version

BARTON – An unnamed river, which is the central outlet to a 24-square-mile watershed highlighted by Crystal Lake and May Pond, was for over 140 years an energy source that resulted in the founding of "Barton Mills," now the Town of Barton. In a span of less than a quarter mile, the river serves as the outlet to Crystal Lake and cascades down a 90-foot vertical drop before emptying into the Barton River.

Could you give me an example how you would use if/else statements and while loops to solve LSAT type questions?
I don't have any specific examples, but I found this most useful in the parallel reasoning questions. I label the "parts" A, B, C, etc. really quickly. Then just write out if A then B. if not C then B. etc for the question and answers. Knocks off most of the answers pretty quickly for me.
VB.Net is bearable, much better than old style VB, but still. Makes me feel like a child typing those silly key words (friend, me, etc).
Nice to see some other CS people on here. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I miss Java. I've had to program in mostly VB.Net this summer and I can't wait to get back to Java.
Anyways, I don't really know any good diagramming books. I just went partly through the 10 real LSATs then went and took the test. Anyways, "all" is just and upside down A and "some" is just a backwards E. Not sure about most, though. hmmmm
Good luck to you.

I'm a math minor, CS emphasis and sometimes I convert the problems into if then else statements or while loops, stuff like that for the logical reasoning. Doesn't work for all of them and I don't know if it will work for you, but sometimes writing a the problem underneath it helps me to focus on the logic rather than the words.
You have plenty of time to work on these two sections, though. You should be fine.

With a full clinical trial, all of the bad points about the surgery will most likely be found. However, if clinical trials are not used, then possible terrible side effects to the surgery will not be found.
Put another way:
The argument assumes that the only reason for clinical trials of medications is to test the correct dosage. However, problems and side effects of the medication also arise during clinical trials. So clinical trials are still needed for new surgery procedures as well.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your studying!

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva suffered a fracture of the right collarbone when he tripped and fell at his house in Watthana district Wednesday morning and will undergo an operation this evening, party spokesman Chavanond Intarakomalyasut said on Wednesday.
The accident occurred as Mr Abhisit was leaving the house to attend the celebration of the 44th anniversary of the founding of Channel 3 television station.
He was admitted to Ramathibodi Hospital and doctors said they would operate this evening to reset the fractured collarbone.
Mr Abhisit had cancelled all his activities scheduled for Thursday. It was not known how long he would stay in hospital, Mr Chavanond said.
Despite Mr Abhisit's accident, the Democrat Party's annual assembly set for March 28 and 29 at the Miracle Grand Hotel will go ahead as scheduled, he added.
Dr Pornchai Mulpruek, of the hospital's orthopaedics department, said treatment would involve metal plates being attached to the outside of Mr Abhisit's broken collarbone. He would probably be discharged from hospital in two or three days.
Mr Abhisit told reporters at the hospital that he was in good spirits despite the injury.
"I think my legs went weak after Manchester United lost 3-0 to Manchester City last night," the former premier, who is a Newcastle fan, joked.

Calf Scours Management - Rory Lewandowski, Extension Educator Athens County, Buckeye Hills EERA
Calf scours. Two words that even the most experienced cattleman dreads to hear during the calving season. I've read articles that name calf scours as the single most important cause of early calf sickness and death. It is unlikely that any single factor brings about calf scours. Likewise there is no single "silver bullet" medication or vaccination that will stop or prevent calf scours. Prevention of calf scours or minimizing the occurrence of calf scours depends upon management. Proper management depends upon understanding the complexity of calf scours and how various factors interconnect.
In plant pathology, we talk about the disease triangle; 3 conditions that are necessary for a disease to develop and manifest symptoms. We can use the same concept to help explain how calf scours develop and the severity of calf scours. The three sides of this disease triangle are: a susceptible animal, the disease organism, and environmental conditions conducive to the disease. When all three sides of the triangle are present, calf scours is going to appear and is likely to be severe unless quick action is taken. Let's examine each of the triangle sides in a little more detail.
There are factors that will pre-dispose a calf to scours. Some of those factors include: a difficult birth, poor nutrition of the mother cow, poor health of the mother cow, and slow and/or low intake of colostrum by the calf. When a cow is in a state of poor nutrition or poor health colostrum quality and milking ability are affected. This has a negative impact on calf health. Remember that a calf is born without a functioning immune system. Immunity and resistance to disease is passed on through the colostrum of the mother. The calf must ingest colostrum shortly after birth and in sufficient quantity to gain this passive resistance.
There are a variety of infectious agents or disease organisms that can cause calf scours. They may be classified as bacteria, viruses, or protozoa. The most common bacteria associated with calf scours is E. coli (Escherichia coli). These bacteria produce toxins in the intestines that damage the cells to the extent that fluids are lost, leading to the symptoms of diarrhea. E. coli related calf scours generally appears with very young calves, developing as soon as 16 to 24 hours after birth. The most common viruses responsible for calf scours are coronavirus and rotavirus. Both of these viruses will infect cells that line the digestive tract and damage those cells so that milk can not be digested or absorbed. Again the symptom is diarrhea. Generally when these viral agents are the cause of calf scours it appears when the calves are near a week of age or older. Another causal agent is protozoa, possibly cryptosporidium or coccidia. Once again, the cells lining the digestive tract are affected, leading to decreased digestion and absorption of milk along with diarrhea. Calves infected with cryptosporidium are generally in the one to three week age range. While coccidiosis is more often seen in weaned calves it can be associated with calf scours in calves at three to four weeks of age, particularly if those calves are under some kind of stress. It should be noted that it is possible that an outbreak of calf scours could be the result of mixed infections involving a combination of infectious agents.
Environmental factors can play a big role in the development of calf scours. Mud, heavy snow, cold temperatures and rain can all be stressful to a newborn calf. Each one alone, or especially in combination, can decrease a calf's resistance to disease. Other environmental factors that can set up an outbreak of calf scours include overcrowding, contaminated lots, calving heifers and cows together, wintering and calving in the same area. These are all conditions that increase the calf's exposure to infectious agents that cause scours.
While knowing the cause of the scours outbreak and the disease organism responsible for the outbreak may be helpful for future management intervention, the treatment is similar regardless of the cause. The most important treatment for calf scours/diarrhea is to replace the fluids and electrolytes that the body is losing. There are numerous commercial products available that can rehydrate the calf, correct pH imbalances and replace lost electrolytes. You may want to consult with your veterinarian as to a specific product and recommended volume/mixture to use in treatment of sick calves. A key point is to start fluid replacement early on while calves are still standing and have a nursing reflex. If the calf will nurse from a bottle, electrolytes can be provided in this manner. If the calf refuses to nurse from a bottle, replacement fluids and electrolytes will have to be given by using an esophageal feeder probe/tube. Again, you may want to consult with your veterinarian about the proper use and placement of an esophageal tube. Keeping calves hydrated will help the calf to maintain vigor, enable the calf to continue to nurse, and help the calf to maintain its body temperature. Once a calf loses the ability to stand and suckle, the only recourse is intravenous (IV) treatment.
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are commonly given as an oral treatment to calf scours, but it has been found that this is not effective treatment and may even be detrimental. According to an article on calf scours by Don Hansen, Extension Veterinarian at Oregon State University, ". . . antibiotics and sulfa drugs given orally alter the normal population of organisms in the gut and sometimes predispose to super infections or fungal infections. Some antibiotics, when given orally, actually inhibit glucose absorption and alter the cells that line the gut wall. In these cases, continued oral use actually prolongs diarrhea."
Prevention or minimization of scours on the farm depends upon management. Here are some key management practices to keep in mind:
* Provide good nutrition to pregnant cows. The last trimester is especially crucial. Remember that heifers that have not reached their full adult size have an additional nutritional requirement for growth. Cold and/or wet weather can increase the energy requirements. Failure to meet nutritional requirements will result in a weak calf at birth, predisposed to early calf hood disease.
* Calving Management. If at all possible, heifers should calf in advance of the cow herd and preferably in a separate location. Cows should be managed to minimize the transmission of scours causing organisms. The "Sandhills Calving System" serves as an example. In this system calves are segregated by age so that older calves don't pass germs to younger calves and pregnant cows are regularly moved to uncontaminated calving pastures. When the first calf is born, all cows are moved to the first calving pasture. Calving continues in this pasture for two weeks and then the remainder of the pregnant cows are moved to the second calving pasture while the cow/calf pairs remain in this first calving pasture. Thereafter, in each subsequent week the pregnant cows continue to move to a new calving pasture while cow/calf pairs remain in the pastures where they have birthed.
* Minimize environmental stress. Strive to provide a dry, clean environment for the calf to be born into. Provide protection from the wind in the form of windbreaks during severe cold weather. Minimize calf exposure to mud and manure.
* Care of the newborn calf. The single most important factor is that the calf ingests colostrum soon after it is born. All other prevention management becomes much less effective if this is not accomplished. The calf should ingest 5-6% of its body weight in colostrum within 6hours after birth. As a secondary factor, most newborn calves may benefit from a Vitamin A injection early in life to boost resistance to scours.
* Vaccination. While there is no universal vaccination program, there are some effective scour vaccines that are available. Vaccines are not a replacement for other good management practices, particularly colostrum ingestion. They can be another piece in a scours management package.
Scours outbreaks can be devastating. Understanding the factors that come together to bring about an outbreak is a step in developing a management plan to minimize the occurrence and severity of calf scours during the calving season.
EDITOR's NOTE: Many of the concepts discussed above, primarily those relating to the long term benefits of good cow and calf nutrition, will be a focus of the 5 part Ohio Beef School being hosted in 17 Ohio Counties on consecutive Thursday's beginning February 3.

Cold Weather Cow Care - Dave Sparks DVM, Oklahoma State University Area Extension Food Animal Quality and Health Specialist
Winter brings a special set of challenges for cattle producers. The need for labor and management increase just as forage quality, feed availability, and hours of daylight available to get things done decrease. Just in case this doesn't offer enough of a challenge, this is also calving season when we are bringing into the operation the product we will have to turn into profits in order to be here next winter.
The first consideration each day in winter time livestock care should be water. Water is the first limiting nutrient and although daily intake goes down in cold weather, adequate consumption every day is still vital. Cows can't utilize frozen water. They may be able to meet part of their water requirement on a temporary basis by eating snow, but they also expend calories melting the snow and warming it to body temperature. If you water your cows in ponds be sure to cut ice at least once daily. Feed the cows in the area where you have provided access to the pond water, so they can find it before it freezes again. When cattle are thirsty they walk out on the ice, especially if it has snow on it, and can follow through in a bunch when they encounter thinner ice near the center of the pond. If you water your cattle in tanks, be aware that extended cold weather may result in a tank full of ice with no room for water. One producer painted the south sides of his tanks black to absorb more solar energy. While it didn't completely solve ice problems, it worked well in marginal conditions and helped slow the ice buildup in extreme cold weather. Another idea that has been used successfully is to secure a large, black inflated inner tube in the tank where the cattle can drink out of the hole in the center. The water in the center of the tube will remain open except in the most extreme conditions. If you use automatic waterers , check them daily to avoid catastrophe. They can only meet the water requirements of the cattle if they keep working normally. If a heater quits or a lid doesn't close properly they can freeze up fast. With electric waterers or tank heaters be careful for shorts or bare wire. Stray voltage of only a few volts can cause cattle not to drink.
While warm, bedded, barns would be above the aspirations of most beef cows, some shelter should be provided, at least from the wind. Solid or semi-solid fences, trees, or brush areas are usually adequate. Three sided sheds are better, but must be cleaned out occasionally to avoid other problems.
Cattle are warm blooded creatures and must maintain a constant core temperature. Everyone knows that nutritional requirements increase in cold weather, but few stockmen know how much the energy requirement changes. Critical temperature is defined as the lower end of the cow's comfort zone and is the temperature at which you need to increase feed provided. Hair and fat both serve as insulators. The critical temperature for cows with good winter coats and good body condition is 20� F. As the temperature drops below this you need to feed these cows about 1% more for each degree drop below the critical temperature. For thin or short haired cows the critical temperature is about 30�F and you will need to feed an extra 2% for each degree below this. When cows are wet the critical temperature is about 50 degree F.
Some health concerns, such as bovine respiratory disease, may not be as prevalent in cold weather as they are when there is a large difference between high and low daily temperatures. Other health problems, however, can take up the slack. Cold weather usually increases feet problems. Frozen rough ground causes abrasions on the feet. When the ground thaws, especially if it remains wet and muddy, conditions are ideal for the entry of infection at these abraded sites. Maintaining a graveled area around water sources and feeders can help a lot. Cattle tend to congregate more around feed grounds, which can become a high risk factor for calf pneumonia and calf diarrhea. Moving the feeding area around the pasture is a good idea, especially after the calves start to arrive. Internal and external parasites can also be a concern. While winter is not a high risk time for the spread of roundworms, those adult worms living in your cow's digestive system can be cheating you out of a lot of nutrition that your cows need. If you didn't worm your cows in the fall, worming in cold weather might stop this loss and help your cows get off to a better start on green grass in the spring. Lice can be a serious winter problem as well. Watch closely for dark discoloration around the head and face or excess scratching and rubbing. Control lice by spraying if you can find a warm sunny day. Powders work well if applied evenly when temperatures remain cold and wetting is not advisable.
For me (and for many of you) the biggest cold weather challenge is dealing with the desire to get it done and go to the fire. The days when it is hardest to work outside are the days when your cattle need you the most. A little extra time making sure your herd is comfortable, healthy and well fed now can make a lot of difference when you are looking at that sale barn check next fall.
Feeding The World, Doomsayers Miss The Point - Nevil C. Speer, PHD, MBA, Western Kentucky University
Food prices have sparked a media feeding frenzy of late (pun intended). The Interest stemming from the U.N.'s food price index report: December marked the sixth consecutive month of higher prices and 2010 ended by establishing a new index record. Daniel Gustafson, UN FAO Director, noted, "Things could become explosive again in 2011, and that's what people are concerned about." And thus we've witnessed a flurry of coverage and commentary.
Much of the reaction has been relatively gloomy. Foremost being Lester Brown's (President, Earth Policy Institute) recent publication, "The Great Food Crisis of 2011." The paper highlights several key indicators of impending global adversity:
* Population growth: ". . . we are still adding 80 million people each year."
* Economic growth: ". . . some 3 billion people moving up the food chain, eating great quantities of grain-intensive livestock and poultry products."
* Ethanol: ". . . U.S. investment in ethanol distilleries sets the stage for direct competition between cars and people for the world grain harvest."
* Soil erosion: ". . one-third of the world's cropland is losing topsoil faster than new soil is forming through natural processes . . ."
* Water: ". . . aquifer depletion is fast shrinking the amount of irrigated area in many parts of the world�"
* Agricultural productivity: ". . . shrinking backlog of untapped technologies�"
* Global warming: ". . . making it more difficult to expand the world grain harvest fast enough to keep up with the record pace of demand."
* Mountain glaciers: ". . . ice melt from glaciers helps sustain not only the major rivers of Asia during the dry season . . . but also the irrigation systems dependent on these rivers. Without this ice melt, the grain harvest would drop precipitously and prices would rise accordingly."
* Ice sheets: ". . . melting ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica, combined with thermal expansion of the oceans, threaten to raise the sea level by up to six feet.
Brown's conclusion being, "The current surge in world grain prices and soybean prices, and in food prices more broadly, is not a temporary phenomenon. We can no longer expect that things will soon return to normal, because in a world with a rapidly changing climate system there is no norm to return to," and hence governments must act quickly to, "redefine security and shift expenditures." Hunger is inevitable.
But is humanity really on the cusp of disaster? Perhaps�.but let's back up and view this from the broader perspective. Claims of catastrophe and doom are NOT a new phenomenon. Mark Ridley explains in his recent book, The Rational Optimist (c. 2010):
The fashionable reason for pessimism changed, but the pessimism was constant. In the 1960s the population explosion and global famine were top of the charts, in the 1970s the exhaustion of resources, in the 1980s acid rain, in the 1990s pandemics, in the 2000s global warming. One by one these scares came and (all but the last) went. Were we just lucky?...Or was it the pessimism that was unrealistic? Let me make a square concession at the start: the pessimists are right when they say that, if the world continues as it is, it will end in disaster for all humanity. If all transport depends on oil, and oil runs out, then transport will cease. If agriculture continues to depend on irrigation and aquifers are depleted, then starvation will ensue. But notice the conditional: if. The world will not continue as it is. That is the whole point of human progress, the whole message of cultural evolution, the whole import of dynamic change - the whole thrust of this book. The real danger comes from slowing down change. It is my proposition that the human race has become a collective problem-solving machine and it solves problems by changing its ways. It does so through invention driven often by the market: scarcity drives up price; that encourages the development of alternatives and of efficiencies. It has happened often in history�The pessimists' mistake is extrapolationism: assuming that the future is just a bigger version of the past.
Perhaps higher food prices and hunger aren't inevitable - there's hope out there.
Does that suggest we should take future solutions for granted? To the contrary; agriculture takes its mission of feeding the world seriously and is responding accordingly. Case in point, the National Institute for Animal Agriculture 2011 Annual Meeting; the meeting theme defined by the following statement: "It is estimated that by 2050 nearly twice as much food will need to be produced to feed the world's growing population! With limited resources, it will be even more important that animal agriculture continue to produce food, milk and fiber in responsible and sustainable ways that meet consumers' expectations." And while some may fret that short-term price spikes portend certain disaster going forward, the perspective overlooks the ingenuity and innovation capacity of agriculture and dismisses historic advances that have been made in the previous 50-100 years.
Ridley is also on target when he explains that, "scarcity drives up price; that encourages the development of alternatives and of efficiencies." Over the long run shortages won't be a function of supply - they'll result from errant policies. As such, the worst response is to hamper the market because it inherently manages scarcity. When allowed to work, higher prices discourage consumption on one side and encourage production on the other side. The recent Russian embargo on grain exports is a perfect example of what NOT to do. The policy disallowed producers to access the world market. Consequently, it sends exactly the wrong signal to producers - don't plant more wheat because there's no opportunity for reward on the other side. Policy exacerbates the problem - not production shortfalls.
In the end, the enduring concern shouldn't be about price spikes or lack of production. Rather, the focus needs to be upon agriculture's business framework. Commodities, food products and technology must flow freely throughout the globe to feed its people. However, excessive regulation, corrupt or errant government policy, and absence of open markets will almost certainly guarantee failure. Solutions are possible if we don't impede progress with needless stumbling blocks. After all, agriculture is THE success story of mankind, capable of responding to world needs when allowed to do so.
Weekly Roberts Agricultural Commodity Market Report - Mike Roberts, Commodity Marketing Agent, Virginia Tech
LIVE CATTLE futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) closed down on Monday. The FEB'11LC contract closed down $1.175/cwt at $106.775/cwt. The APR'11LC contract closed at $111.675/cwt, off $1.000/cwt. AUG'11LC futures closed at $112.375; down $0.600/cwt. Last Friday higher-than-expected placements triggered selling. USDA increased placements for December over last year at this time by 16%. Prices for feeders weighing over 800 lbs increased by 29% over last year. This is bearish for the near-term since these will come to market sooner rather than later. Exports were strong amid talk that South Korea may buy more in light of foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in cattle and hogs there. USDA last Friday put beef exports at 153% over this time last year. USDA put the 5-area average cash cattle price at $105.85/cwt with reports over $106/cwt in some places. USDA put the choice beef cutout at $173.62/cwt; up $0.81/cwt. Even though seasonality is pressuring prices underlying fundamentals are supported by strong domestic and export demand. This, coupled with expectations for tightening supplies, will continue to drive a bullish market. According to HedgersEdge.com, the average packer margin was a positive $27.70/head based on the average buy of $107.8821/cwt vs. the average breakeven of $109.29/cwt.
FEEDER CATTLE at the CME closed mixed on Monday. The JAN'11FC and MAR'11FC contracts finished even with Friday's close at $126.350/cwt and $125.550/cwt respectively. APR'11FC futures finished at $126.300/cwt; off $0.050/cwt. The AUG'11FC contract settled at $127.300/cwt, down $0.200/cwt. Feeders were pressured by lower live cattle prices while supported by lower corn prices. Talk there will be fewer feeders later this year was supportive. According to three floor sources there are expectations in the pit that January placements will be off 4%-5% from a year ago because of smaller supplies. Receipts in Oklahoma City were estimated at 9,500 head vs. 10,505 last week and 11,563 a year ago. Demand is considered moderate with quality not as good as show lists were two weeks ago. This may be due to harsher weather conditions. The Nation Feeder & Stocker Cattle summary for the week ending 1/21/2011 show sales of 506,600 head, sales of 354,500 head a week ago, and 556,300 head a year ago. Demand for calves was considered good with yearlings selling $2-$6/cwt higher. Buyer demand, trading activity, and price levels were unprecedented amid all-time record highs posted on most weights and classes across the country. Reports from all over the place show that this is uncharted territory. These high prices have triggered producer selling while discouraging herd expansion.

India vs. the Wild Wild West. ~ Chad Herst
How We Awaken
It's my opinion that the method of awakening for a traditional Indian seeker is not the same for Westerners. And so, as teachers in the West, it is critical that we translate foreign teachings not just to the language, but also to the culture of our students. Sticking to "doing it the way it's done in India" is a form of laziness on the part of the teacher and can have harmful effects on students. It is our job not only to impart the method but also to distinguish the essence of the method from the cultural idiosyncrasies that the method is imbued with.
I teach Ashtanga Yoga. I learned the practice from my teacher, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who was what I consider to be a classical Indian. When I say classical Indian, I am actually making a distinction from that of the modern Indian, which still exists today, but is slowly getting lost as India grows economically.
One thing that distinguished my teacher's classical Indian students from their Westerner counterparts primarily had to do with how they identified themselves. The classical Indian student tended to know him or herself in relationship to his or her role in society, whereas Westerners identified primarily with personalities, replete with likes and dislikes, confidence and insecurities. Much of the work of eliminating samsara (conditioned existence) for Westerners requires very different work. It is clear to me that while the game is still the same—overcoming our conditioning to discover who we truly are—the path of yoga in India is very different from the path of yoga in the West.
Duty or Authenticity?
In India, the sense of individuality and uniqueness is not valued in the same way it is valued in the West. From a very young age what is valued is one's relationship to one's role in society. If you are a Brahmin (priestly caste), then that's what and who you are; that is the role you are to play out in society. Relatively speaking, life tends to happen to people in India compared to the West. It is not chosen there the way it is chosen here. And while that is starting to change now, the change is slow. For example, it was not until recently and in certain very small pockets of Indian culture that one would even think to choose one's partner in marriage. That was determined by the caste of the young man and woman, the parents and often with the aid of a family astrologer.
One's role is called dharma or duty. A major theme in The Bhagavad Gita (one of India's most beloved and sacred texts) is performing one's duty to caste. If that means fighting one's family members for the sake of upholding the santana dharma (universal law), then it must be done, like it or not. The essence of the training of the yogi in India is the elimination of the asmita (overly identified sense of self or ego) and in turn identifying and surrendering to the role the society has put upon him or her. What we in the West define as the creative faculty of being able to choose how we live our lives is completely eliminated. Surrendering to one's role—be it one's role in society or in the family unit—is the transformational breakthrough that's asked of the aspirant.
As Westerners, we learn not to completely identify with our roles as brother, mother, teacher or business executive. While this is a form of our identity, it doesn't define us the way it does the classical Indian. In the West, we tend to move fluidly between our various roles. I may be a teacher of yoga a few mornings of the week but if I came home still playing the teacher with my wife I think she'd strangle me. We are not just our careers, our roles at home, our background or our socioeconomic status.
For the most part, we tend to identify with our personalities and preferences. For example, when a father asks his son, "Do you want to be a football player or baseball player?" and the child responds, "I want to be a make up artist," then that child is exerting his separate identity through his wants. The same is true when we choose our partners or when we choose to have children (or not). The ability to make choices and choose what makes us happy is what forms this persona in the West we identify as "me."
So, when a Westerner with a developed sense of ego goes to an Indian guru that's rooted in a classical Indian culture and learns yoga, the guru does not and cannot totally recognize what he or she sees. The Westerner's sense of self is strongly identified with his or her persona along with its various wants. Additionally, Westerners struggle mightily with issues of confidence, feelings of self-doubt and even self-loathing. While I am sure that plenty of classical Indians struggle with the same issues, a confident, outgoing personality is not as valued as the fulfillment of one's responsibilities to society and family. And because the "come from" is so different, often times, the method doesn't work in the same way. This isn't to say that the method doesn't work.
All Politics is Local…and so is Yoga
I remember it used to baffle my guru that we'd keep showing up at his shala (yoga school) year after year, still unmarried, still experimenting with various illicit drugs and covered with even more tattoos. I imagine that he would sometimes scratch his head wondering why the method wasn't working for some of his students the way it ought to. He'd often say in his lectures that we needed to get married, have children and to essentially surrender to our dharma. I am sure that he saw that even though we came from comparatively wealthy places, we were equally spiritually lost. And yet I wish to argue that while the practice wasn't working based on his cultural maps of dharma, it was, in fact working on us.
It is my belief that the path of illumination for Westerners has less to do with surrendering to our roles in society and has more to do with having the courage to trust what authentically moves us. And that's what we were doing when we were saving all the money we earned as waiters or yoga teachers to go back to India to practice with our teacher. That's what we were doing when we would show up on the mat day after day. We weren't doing these things because society deemed them valuable. On the contrary, most of my parents' friends thought I was a bit of a freak for waking up at 5 am to practice. We were doing this because it moved us. It resonated with something very individual within each of us. We used the practice to help strip away all the nonsense our parents, teachers and society had foisted upon us so that we could each find our own individual way in the world.
Brahmin Yoga
And that's how I think the practice worked and continues to work on Westerners differently. So when I hear Ashtanga Yoga teachers insisting that their students practice exactly the way it's done in Mysore today, that they never vary the sequence to meet their student's physical, emotional and spiritual needs; that they alienate those that cannot practice six days per week, I cannot help but think that this is both arrogance and negligence on the part of the teacher. He or she is foisting a brahmin interpretation of yoga onto the student. As Westerners, our path is not necessarily to become more dutiful. For some it is; but for most the work is to strip away what is not true so that we can sense and choose life from our essence, the part of us that is authentic, awake and deeply resonant.
Chad started practicing Ashtanga Yoga with David Williams in 1993 and first traveled to Mysore, India in 1994 to study with his teacher, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Chad received Guruji's blessing to teach the Ashtanga method and has been doing so since 1998. Chad's practice and teaching style has been greatly influenced by some of his early Ashtanga teachers, Eddie Stern, Chuck Miller and Maty Ezraty, Dena Kingsberg, and Rolf Naujokat.
In addition to teaching yoga privately, Chad teaches an Ashtanga Mysore practice in San Francisco three mornings a week at Mission Ashtanga with Devorah Sacks. As a teacher of Ashtanga, his mission is to facilitate his students in finding their individual and unique doorways into this powerful practice and to cultivate their growth and personal development.
Chad combines his yoga expertise with other mind-body programs at Herst Wellness, which he founded to help people find an authentic access to spiritual practice that evokes transformation, heals, and brings about a quality of aliveness. Chad is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist and personal/leadership coach based in San Francisco, but he works with people around the world.

This is a very insightful post, and is a great addition to Carlos Pomeda's February article.
Wouldn't it be great, though, to begin to see the social and familial conditioning that we receive not as 'nonsense' or problems but as gifts and opportunities.
Very thoughtful commentary and an important consideration for us in the west! What is the deepest layer of the deepest layer of this practice, and what do it expose?!!

Beautifully written and carefully considered. Thank you. I wonder if part of Pattabhi Jois' urging of his students to embark upon family life was because that was part of spiritual evolution in "classical India." I have heard that traditional Indian life consisted of four phases: studying, marriage & child rearing, "spiritual retreat" years in the forest with your spouse, and finally solitary retreat-like living. Maybe because the "marriage & child rearing" option for Westerners isn't traditionally positioned within a trajectory of spiritual growth (although my friends who have spouses & children often cite these relationship as deeply spiritual!), Westerner spiritual seekers are more resistant to being "householders" — it feels like a dead end. Or there's the fear that it would be a dead end because the statistics around contemporary Western marriage are pretty bleak.
Thank you! This is how vinyasa yoga and other styles of yoga came about, translations and evolutions. Excellent explanation of the difference between traditional and non-traditional teachers. A good read!

Rick Joy Architects
Among Saguaro cacti, Rick Joy plants a cluster of vividly rusted steel boxes, forming Desert Nomad House for an itinerant art dealer
It's my most conceptual project," says Rick Joy of the Desert Nomad House, tucked along the base of a mountain range a few miles west of Tucson. "It's really an art piece." Three metal boxes, each oriented to a particular view. Three different sizes: S, M, and L. The simplicity of the forms and precise placement of the cubes in relation to the landscape and one another certainly call to mind pieces by such artists as Donald Judd, Richard Serra, Walter de Maria, and Robert Irwin. That's the first impression. But as you tour the house—checking out each pristine box and walking on the outdoor paths between them—you realize this project is a kind of sculpture as micro urbanism. Although less than 1,500 square feet altogether, the three little buildings (plus a steel-cage carport that sits by itself) form a residential village enlivened by the spaces between and around them: one tight and narrow like an alley, another big and expansive like a piazza. All of a sudden, the complexity of the project becomes apparent.
Each building is basically one space with a bathroom—a 780-square-foot living/kitchen/dining area; a 440-square-foot bedroom; and a 200-square-foot office/guest room—and its geometry is Platonic, so the smallest anomaly or imperfection would have screamed out and destroyed the intended effect. Luckily, Joy had worked as a carpenter before becoming an architect, and his firm builds all his small projects, ensuring that finishes, detailing, and construction are done right.
Finishing each box with maple floors and maple-veneer paneling, the architect kept the material palette as simple as possible, using opaque glass partitions for the bathrooms and a stainless-steel counter for the kitchen island. As a result, the focus remains always on the view through floor-to-ceiling, half-inch-thick glass. From the living room, southeastern vistas take in the valley and downtown Tucson. From the bedroom, the windows look toward the Tucson range to the southwest. The box for the den/office pushes up against the side of the mountains, and its northwest-facing glass wall—almost like a terrarium—offers less of a view than a sense of intimacy with nature.

Here's something odd. After getting my car last March, I had to pay my entire premium in installments, finally due in December. This year, I have to pay me entire premium due in March. According to their paperwork, this means that in the course of one year, I have to pay two years' worth of premiums.
This doesn't make sense and I'm hoping there's something lost in the translation. I'll give them a call tomorrow; they have Saturday hours. They better have for the amount they quoted me for my premium.
Yes, I had many points on my license, and I'm required until May to be in the "state pool" for car insurance. Having a car in New Jersey, especailly if you have mistakes in your past, can be prohibitively expensive.
In case you're wondering, my premium this year is about $3,500.
