Mandatory livestock price reporting and the milk income loss contract are two programs that expired on Friday. Efforts to extend and fund the MILC program were shelved when Congress turned its attention and limited resources to hurricane relief. The contract made dairy farmers eligible for government payments whenever the price of fluid milk fell below certain levels. There's still a chance the program can be saved during budget talks in late October, but only at the expense of other farm programs.
Dairy farmers aren't alone when it comes to cuts in government aid. Faced with the loss of the program that for decades set price and production controls, tobacco farmers now are turning to everything from grapes to grains to flowers and herbs.
They're being aided by a multi-billion dollar buyout program ... and by local efforts to supplement the transition. Nancy Crowfoot reports.
This land in eastern North Carolina has been in the same family for seven generations -- eight if you count eight-year-old Anderson O'Brien. His father, Michael, manages the farm, which currently is owned by his mother and her two sisters. It's been a diversified farm of 840 acres, up until this year when 370 acres were sold. Historically, the main crops have been corn, cotton, peanuts and the product most valued -- tobacco.
Michael O'Brien, farmer, Whitakers, North Carolina: "Historically it was the money crop. Cotton and peanuts were a distant second."
Cotton still is raised on the farm. But peanuts haven't been grown here since the government's 2002 peanut buyout program.
And over the years, reliance on tobacco was iffy.For 60 years, the federal government controlled production and price. O'Brien, who provided the land to another farmer to grow tobacco and they split the profit, said his government-issued tobacco allotment had been dwindling annually -- from over 20,000 pounds 15 years ago, to 8,000 pounds last year on just four acres of land.
Michael O'Brien: "So as far as the actual land use it really won't have any effect on the way things are going in the future. But we'll miss the income."
It's been the most profitable crop per acre ... until now.
Last October, President Bush signed a bill to eliminate the supply-and-price control program ... and establish a $10.1 billion Tobacco Transition Payment program.
Farmers apply for payments through two different formulas. After doing the math, O'Brien says the family farm he manages will receive $85,000 over a 10-year period.
And for the first time in that 180-year family history on this land, no tobacco will be planted.
But while one of the family's traditional crops has wilted away ... another one is "blooming".
Michael O'Brien: "I really did want to be a corn and cotton and peanuts guy and it turns out I'd have been jumping on a sinking ship so the flower thing has really worked out well for me."
O'Brien and his wife started flower farming 10 years ago. He built three greenhouses and in the past few years began to acquire and modify used tobacco equipment, including this disk-like ripper-bedder and a tobacco transplanter used to mechanically plant his flower plugs.A more recent purchase was a walk-in cooler to store his cut flowers. Much of the equipment was purchased with some $9,500 in grant money from a fund established in 1997 to respond to changes in the federal government's tobacco program.
Jason Roehrig, program director, Tobacco Communities Reinvestment Fund at Rural Advancement Foundation International USA (RAFI), Pittsboro, North Carolina: "There was no silver bullet to replace tobacco income and it was going to take a huge diversity of ideas and enterprises to replace tobacco."
Jason Roehrig is the program director for the Tobacco Communities Reinvestment Fund, which so far has helped now-former tobacco growers finance 68 projects in 25 counties.
Jason Roehrig: "The types of enterprises that people are bringing forward are trying to get their products closer in the value chain to the retail price for products as opposed to the commodity price for products."
But getting closer to the retail market is time-consuming for farmers and takes them away from work in their fields.
Daphne O'Brien, farmer, Whitakers, North Carolina: "I do a lot of the customer relations, finding out what people want, what people like. I kind of keep up with what they don't like. I try to talk to them about flower care.
The retail end of the business is growing slowly. The bulk of the sales come from 75 customers who pay for a "subscription" service -- weekly business or home delivery of flowers: $300 for 10 weeks and up to $500 for 20 weeks.
The O'Briens also fill custom orders for parties and sell at farmers markets. But recently, after several failed attempts, they've abandoned plans to market to local florists.
Michael O'Brien: "We often wish that we could take a truckload of tulips to the grain market and say, 'here, you sell them'."
Marketing their product may seem frustrating at times, but confidence is high that the O'Briens are doing all the right things to succeed.
Jason Roehrig: "Of course, we would wish that things would happen more quickly. But its just time. They're still going to get where they want to go with that."
And where they want to go, includes agri-tourism. They want visitors to come not just to see the flower fields & but to see the tobacco history here -- outbuildings that are a reminder of a crop that helped keep this family farm in business for seven generations.
The question is can flower farming achieve the same success level for them, their son & and any generations to follow.
Michael O'Brien: "I think it could probably do as well or better than tobacco. And we're profitable, especially if you don't consider how much time we put in it. I'm sure all farmers do it that way."
For Market to Market, I'm Nancy Crowfoot.

Sabrina Jeffries' April contest will find out exactly
THE DUKE DESIRES when she receives an advance reading
of the author's Duke's Men series launch book. WHAT THE
DUKE DESIRES (Pocket paperback, on sale June 18, 2013)

Order Today
Maximilian Cale, the Duke of Lyons, accepted long ago
that his kidnapped brother was dead. When a cryptic note
from investigator Tristan Bonnaud claims otherwise, Max
seeks out Tristan's sister, Lisette—and is infuriated
to learn that Tristan has also mysteriously vanished. Have
the siblings perpetrated an elaborate hoax? Or is the
fiercely protective beauty as innocent as she claims them
to be?
Fearful that the powerful duke will destroy Tristan's
career in his zeal for the truth, the clever Lisette
convinces Max to accompany her to Paris in a joint search
for their loved ones. But their journey takes a seductive
twist when they pose as an ordinary husband and
wife—not an English duke with a tarnished family name
and the illegitimate daughter of a viscount—and
discover an exhilarating passion free from the damning
secrets of the past. With the line between danger and
desire enticingly blurred, they discover that some
mysteries, like those of the heart, are answered tenfold in
the bliss of a true and trusting love.

Almost Works
"I have very narrow, flat feet and this brand seems to work for me BUT these are quite short and narrow. You'd probably want to order a full size up. The height of the boot shaft is slightly awkward as it's not low or high but mid-calf. However, the quality is high."

Back in March, I wrote an article about Kim Ng and her continuing quest to become MLB's first female general manager. Now it looks as though that quest could soon be coming to an end. Bleacher Nation reports that Ng's name has been floated in the discussion for the Cubs new GM (along with Dan Evans and Ned Colletti). And while the Cubs are still in the early stages of their GM search, Ng could be a legitimate candidate for the job.
Ng is no stranger to MLB front offices and she is highly thought of in executive circles. She became assistant GM of the New York Yankees in 1998, and following the 2001 season made the lateral transfer to become assistant GM of the Dodgers, where she served until this March before leaving to work as a Senior VP of Baseball Operations for the Commissioner's Office. In total, Ng has served as an assistant GM at the major league level for 13 full seasons. During her time with the Dodgers Ng handled all of the arbitration cases, many of the minor league free-agent signings, and maintained the club's compliance with MLB's rules for roster management and player eligibility.
During Ng's time with the Dodgers there were two GM changes, once before the 2004 season, and again at the end of the 2005 season. In both of these instances the Dodgers went outside the organization to fill the position, despite the fact that Ng interviewed for the opening in 2005 before ultimately being passed over in favor of Ned Colletti, who at the time served as assistant GM for the San Francisco Giants. Since then Ng has interviewed for two other GM positions: once in 2008 with the Seattle Mariners and again in 2009 with the San Diego Padres. When Ng left the Dodgers to work for the Commissioner's Office this year she maintained that her ultimate goal is to someday be a GM, and sees her position as Senior VP of Baseball Operations as an asset that will make her a more well-rounded GM candidate.
Perhaps the Cubs will finally make Ng's dream a reality, and at the same time shatter the long-standing glass ceiling that has insulated MLB's fraternity of exclusively male GMs.

New user here, been fairly happy with WP so far.
To the point... How about a little something for those of us that actually research what we write? I'm refering to citations... If I were writing stand alone pieces I could see running a seperate works cited for each. In the case of having an entire site I was thinking about a master citation database, so citing could be inserted with a quick tag and easily managed in the admin area.
I know it's possible and very doable. I just don't have the php or sql skills to implement it myself anytime soon. Does anyone know of a plugin or planned release of a plugin that could fill this need? Is there even enough interest in the idea?
If there's no plugin and no interest, could someone direct me to where I could get some help in having one made? I'm hesitant to post any of my serious work untill I figure out what I'm going to do about citations...

Beaumont/Port Arthur
A Jefferson County resident was injured when his leg was impaled by a tree limb while brush hogging, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office reports.
According to a news release from JCSO officers were dispatched to the 6000 block of Steinhagen Road in Labelle on Oct. 20 after receiving a call from the injured man. He advised that a tree limb had impaled his leg after being propelled by the brush-hog. Members of the Labelle/Fannett Fire/EMS and JCSO deputies responded to the scene..
Orange County Emergency Services District No. 1 responded to a fire Sunday, Oct. 19, at the Waterfall Apartments in Vidor.
About 2:12 p.m., the department received a call of a fire at a duplex apartment on Luther Circle and was on the scene at 2:17 p.m. The fire was extinguished around 20 minutes later, said Orange County Emergency Services District No. 1 Fire Chief Bryant Champagne.
The City of Vidor continues its efforts to collect a decade's worth of outstanding fines owed to the city. This week, police are asking for assistance in locating the following persons owing more than $1000 in fines to the city:
1. Derrick Doran Cane, B/M, Age 50, 3 traffic warrants totaling $1,629.00
2. Patricia Diane Carlton, W/F, age 43, 1 traffic warrant totaling $1,020.00
3. Linda Chaison, W/F, age 43, 2 traffic warrant totaling $1,322.00
4. Cody Michael Chartin, W/M, age 29, 4 traffic warrants totaling $1,761.00
Press release from the Jefferson County Bar Association:
The Jefferson County Bar Association will celebrate the sixth annual National Celebrate Pro Bono Week on Oct. 20 – Oct. 24, 2014.
Sheriff's deputies arrested an Orange resident on Saturday, Oct. 18, after busting him with more than 5 grams of methamphetamine during a traffic stop.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

text: I need help understanding the relationship between the excitation and emission spectra for a fluorescent material. This is not homework. Let's say we have the following graph which plots the two spectra for a given material: Two curves are shown - the excitation spectra and the emission spectra as well as the stokes shift (the difference in nanometers between the peak amplitudes of both curves). From looking at the graph, the peak amplitude of the excitation spectrum is around 450, while the peak for the emission spectrum is around 550, making the stokes shift roughly 100 nm. So my question is this: using this information how would I calculate the the emission wavelength given a particular light source. Below is my interpretation of what to do: Step 1) Let's say we have a monochromatic light at 400 nm with a spectral intensity value of 100. I would first look at the graph for the excitation spectra and see what the absorption value is for 400 nm. Let's call this value "A" (in the graph above the y axis is not plotted so let's say its 0.1 for the sake of this example). I would then multiply light intensity * A (100 *0.1) and get an intensity of 10. Step 2) Next, to find the corresponding emission wavelength, I shift up the incoming wavelength by stokes shift. So stokes shift in this case is around 100 so we get 400 + 100 = 500 nm for the emitted light. Step 3) To find the intensity of the emitted light, I look at the emission spectrum graph and find the value for 500 nm (since the Y axis is unplotted let's say its value is 0.25). I would then modulate the absorbed light intensity by this outgoing value (10 * 0.25) and get an intensity of 2.5. So based on my understanding a 400nm beam of light with a spectral intensity of 100 would cause this particular material to emit a beam of light at 500 nm at an intensity of 2.5. Is the above a correct interpretation? The biggest thing I am unsure about here is whether stokes shift uniformly shifts over all wavelengths in the excitation spectra or if it is used only as a reference for measuring difference between peak amplitudes.

Expiration Date:?Nov 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.09 lbs (0.49 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

The Brontës (Revised and updated edition)Over the years at BrontëBlog we have reviewed a few books which we have claimed couldn't be missing from a Brontëite's bookshelf, but if there's just one book - apart from the Brontë novels, of course! - that simply has to be there then it's Juliet Barker's thorough biography The Brontës.
Juliet Barker
Published 04/11/2010
Abacus. Little, Brown Book Group
First released in 1994, it became an instant classic, and deservedly so. The wealth of information contained there in and Juliet Barker's clearly extensie research in order to get nearly each and every fact ever linked to the Brontës verified is simply overwhelming. Juliet Barker's goal was no other than to try and dispel - or confirm - the many myths surrounding the Brontë family(1) going back to the sources, thus doing the dirty work for many present and future researchers. A huge number of the books/articles on the Brontës' lives published since then have listed The Brontës in their bibliography.
Time didn't stop in 1994 and as we say many books have been published since and a few discoveries have been made. And so Juliet Barker decided it was time to update the book and so, too, keep it in print for the new generations of Brontëites. One of the most impressive things about The Brontës when it was first released is that many books and editions which are as standard(2) as The Brontës itself hadn't been published yet, so Juliet Barker had it even more complicated than it might be initially considered. Juliet Barker herself in her new preface to the second edition mentions some of the groundbreaking works that have seen the light since 1994:
Two monumental works of meticulous scholarship deserve especial mention: Margaret Smith's The Letters of Charlotte Brontë (Oxford, 1995-2004) and Victor Neufeldt's The Works of Patrick Branwell Brontë (New York, 1997-9) [...]. I wish they had been available when I was struggling to date Charlotte's letters or assemble a coherent narrative from the morass of Branwell's juvenilia.But she also mentions Sue Lonoff's The Belgian Essays. A Critical Edition (1997), Christine Alexander & Jane Sellars's The Art of the Brontës (1995), Derek Roper and Edward Chitham's edition of The Poems of Emily Brontë (1995), Heather Glen's edition of Tales of Angria and Dudley Green's The Letters of the Reverend Patrick Brontë(3).
Thus, as she says, she has updated all the references that she painfully tracked down mostly from first hand or remote sources to these new editions and, in some cases, she has altered her own readings.
Not only readings have been altered, as she has also modified accounts - sometimes rewriting whole pages - such as Branwell's trip to the Royal Academy in London. Where in 1994 she appeared pretty confident that the journey may not have happened and if it had it had been to London only and not to apply for entrance to the Royal Academy, in 2010 she is practically sure that the journey never took place. And this is obviously not just a change of heart, she brings up new documents in order to prove it. Another modification in connection to painting is the inclusion of Charlotte's two drawings - 'Kirkstall Abbey' and 'Bolton Abbey' - at the Royal Northern Society for the Encouragemente of the Fine Arts 1834 exhibition in Leeds(4). In the previous edition Barker mentioned the Brontës as mere visitors, not saying that Charlotte was also a contributor (unfortunately the drawings were not sold and it seems that it was there and then that Charlotte abandoned her dreams of becoming an artist, whereas Branwell's were encouraged further by Patrick hiring William Robinson as his tutor, a timeline that is also now modified as Barker previously doubted that Robinson's lessons had started as early as 1834).
The index - as thorough as in the first edition - doesn't show these changes in the key words under each relevant name but the added page numbers do reflect the revised content. The illustrations are practically all the same as well(5) with a few new additions. On the other hand, the notes at the end clearly reflect the updated sources, theories and small changes(6).
Our biggest objection to this edition is purely practical and has nothing to do with the contents. Juliet Barker said in a recent talk in Haworth(7) that she wanted her publishers to release this edition in two volumes but they refused for logistical and sales reasons. We are not too keen either on the two-volume concept but this new, compact paperback edition is not exactly ideal for reading - not to mention the tiny main text font or the even tinier font used for the notes) and it's certainly quite impractical for research purposes (or for writing up this review, for instance), particularly if they carry on throughout the years. And one has the feeling that, careful as you may be, the spine will end up broken. And while we understand that one of the goals was to keep the price affordable, we must say that we are pretty sure that both our previous hardback and large paperback editions have seen much handling and will probably stand the test of time better.
And speaking of a physical aspect, we must say that the new cover is just right for this time of the year, making it the perfect, you-can't-go-wrong-with-this-one Christmas present for any Brontëite. There's nothing better than this bundle of Brontë.
(1) Dispelling myth, however, seems to have 'proved astonishingly difficult'. And of course there's a whole book devoted to it, published years after The Brontës, Lucasta Miller's The Brontë Myth.
(2) Juliet Barker herself says that The Brontës is now the 'standard biography' of the Brontës in her new preface.
(3) To which we may add, Christine Alexander & Margaret Smith's The Oxford Companion to the Brontës (2003), Robert and Louise Barnard's A Brontë Encyclopedia (2007), Dudley Green's Patrick Brontë: Father of Genius (2008), Tales of Glass Town, Angria, and Gondal: Selected Early Writings, edited by Christine Alexander (2010) ...
(4) Juliet Barker quotes as her source the catalogue exhibition, which is of course in accordance with her custom of going to the original sources. It seems as if the credit for this 'discovery' however goes to Christine Alexander and Jane Sellars which included it in their Art of the Brontës, published just one year after The Brontës, and which is, as stated above, listed by Juliet Barker as one of the books published afterwards deserving special mention.
(5) And definitely unchanged is Juliet Barker's certain degree of animadversion towards Charlotte, which was one of the main criticisms which the first edition received.
(6) Access to the notes is thankfully much easier than in the first edition. Whereas the heading at the top of each page of the notes section in the first edition showed the chapter by number (which was only given in the main text at the start of each chaper; page headings including only the name of the chapter and the year), making the reader go back to the start of the chapter to check the number before heading to the notes at the end. However, in this new edition the heading at the top of each page of the notes section clearly says to which pages the notes listed below belong. A much more accessible approach for the occasional reader and/or researcher.

Although I understand why Barker's book is considered standard biography and I don't question her hard work and research, I am always put off by her excessive dislike of Charlotte and her biased attribution of Charlotte's acts and motives. Barker doesn't like Emily much better to say the truth, but at least Emily is not presented as super-selfish and mean or hysterical. For a historian, I think that Barker ought to be more objective or more subtly suggestive of what she is implying and not present her opinions as the sole truth or possible explanation. Other than that her book contains a wealth of information.ReplyDelete
I just received this and was shocked at the size too. I would happily have paid more for a larger edition or a hardcover.ReplyDelete
It is indeed a great shame that Baker, the author of the current definitive biography of the family, dislikes Charlotte so much and as ksotikoula says, treats her therefore biased opinions about CB as fact.ReplyDelete
But you know Charlotte has faced such abuse by those with an ax to grind before and won. My money is on her ;)
To get a true picture of the the Brontës imo, one must read a good many books about them and the decide for oneself. Because the authors all seem to have thier favorites.
Barker seems to have no sympathy for the morbid and highly-strung like Charlotte, and commends only rational martyrs like Anne. While I think Anne merits more attention, this doesn't mean one should attack Charlotte for being only human, and expect her, instead of her sisters, to be better to Branwell who was pretty much useless. Charlotte is given excess condemnation and unproven accusations, and Anne's "guilty charges" are all justified. She wants us to think Charlotte a devil and Anne a saint. They are both human. Barker is precisely the sort of person Charlotte would have attacked in her novels, assuming she had encountered someone like her. I know this comment is late but seeing everyone call this "standard biography" irks me - it lacks objectivity. I was not surprised to discover that Barker objected to Charlotte's high-flown prose - she sounds like a rationalist, no-nonsense minimalist. She is also highly biased towards Wordsworth in his biography, and brutally unsympathetic to the unstable Coleridge.ReplyDelete

Established in 2010, the Margaret Chase Smith Leadership Excellence Award at the United States Military Academy recognizes the accomplishments of women in the field of leadership and ethics.

Her leadership billets included Regimental Commander for Plebe Summer, Battalion Sergeant Major, and 1st Battalion Executive Officer.

Whether building a biogas anaerobic digester in Uganda, completing Commando School in France, or preparing to be an officer, Mauldin enjoys bringing together her passions for resource responsibility, the environment, and strategic thinking to solve human security issues. An exemplary role model, her work displays the highest standard of professionalism and personal conduct.

The American Association of University Professors has asked for a fuller explanation of the University of San Diego's decision last week to rescind an invitation to Tina Beattie, a British professor asked to be a visiting fellow at the Roman Catholic university, because of her positions on social issues. In a letter to Mary Lyons, the university's president, the group drew parallels with a similar situation four years earlier and said it was "surprised and disappointed" that the issues arose again. "We appreciate that you may have additional information that would contribute to our understanding of the serious issues of academic freedom with which we are concerned. We would therefore welcome your comments," wrote B. Robert Kreiser, the AAUP's associate secretary.
Lyons, in a statement, said that it was Beattie's decision to sign a letter supporting gay marriage as a Catholic theologian that influenced her decision. "I want to emphasize that it was not her teaching or scholarship that prompted me to rescind this invitation," Lyons wrote. "I respect her right, as an academic and a Catholic theologian, to engage in whatever work she deems necessary and important." But she said that those speaking at the university's Center for Catholic Thought and Culture should support "both the mission of the center and the Catholic character of our university," and she believed Beattie's public dissent from the church was at odds with those goals.

Billionaire Donors Keep Favored Presidential Hopefuls Afloat
More than 50 years ago, Joseph Kennedy used his wealth to advance the political career of his son, President John F. Kennedy. Last month, Jon Huntsman Sr. tried to do the same thing.
The senior Huntsman, a chemical company executive, and his candidate son, Republican Jon Huntsman Jr., invested a combined $4.4 million in his presidential primary candidacy -- a million more than the $3.3 million raised from supporters.
The strategy didn't work; Huntsman came in third in the Jan. 10 New Hampshire primary and dropped out of the race six days later. What the maneuvering did accomplish was exposing how broken the campaign finance system installed in 1974 to diminish the influence of wealthy donors and corporations has become.
"Big changes to the campaign finance system have really all come together in the past two years," said Michael Malbin, president of the Washington-based Campaign Finance Institute, which advocates for donation limits. "Clever lawyers are exploiting the edges of the law."
In addition to Huntsman, two other Republican presidential hopefuls -- former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum -- have extended their stays in the primary race with help from one or two rich supporters.
'Darwinian' Sorting
"Gingrich, in particular, was able to avoid the Darwinian sorting that would have typically occurred after New Hampshire in large part due to the efforts of the super-PAC," Anthony Corrado, professor of government at Colby College in Maine, said in a phone interview yesterday.
"In the past, candidates who didn't catch on early tended to see their fundraising dry up," he said. ''Now, one merely has to retain the support of a few donors willing to write large checks.''
The collapse of campaign finance laws began more than two decades ago as candidates first discovered loopholes in the strict donation limits imposed to level the playing field between wealthy and modest contributors. It accelerated in recent years after several court decisions and regulatory inaction.
In 2009, a federal appeals court in Emily's List v. Federal Election Commission expanded on First Amendment grounds the role outside groups could play in political campaigns, provided they didn't coordinate with candidates.
2010 Court Rulings
A year later, the U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruled that corporations and labor unions could spend unlimited sums to help elect or defeat a candidate. Two months later, in March 2010, a federal appeals court found that independent groups could accept unlimited donations, paving the way for today's so-called super-PACs.
The Federal Election Commission, an evenly-divided bipartisan panel charged with enforcing campaign finance laws, became deadlocked and failed to issue new regulations in light of those court rulings, leaving lawyers working for the groups to interpret them.
The upshot is a presidential campaign that is being financed in ways not seen for decades, with secret donors and multi-million-dollar donations to committees aligned with a single candidate.
'Open Checkbook'
Foster Friess, a fund manager based in Wyoming, helped Santorum win in Iowa Jan. 3 by giving $331,000 to the Red, White and Blue Fund, which supports the former senator. He gave more in January, which will be disclosed in FEC reports later this month, and intends to continue spending, he said in an email yesterday. He has an "open checkbook" for anyone who opposes Democratic President Barack Obama, he said in a Jan. 27 Bloomberg Television interview.
"I think super-PACs help level the playing field a little bit because without them it seems like the unions and the media had a huge advantage," Freiss said yesterday. He also pointed to Democratic billionaires, including George Soros and Peter B. Lewis, who put millions into an unsuccessful effort to defeat Republican President George W. Bush in 2004.
In the case of Huntsman's bid, the candidate last year provided about $2.5 million of his money through a loan, according to FEC disclosure reports. Also last year, the senior Huntsman donated $1.9 million to Our Destiny, a super-PAC that spent $1.3 million in New Hampshire on broadcast ads promoting his son. That's almost 75 times the $18,300 the candidate spent on broadcast commercials, according to data from New York-based Kantar Media's CMAG, a company that tracks advertising.
Gingrich Casino Backers
Gingrich's presidential bid is being underwritten primarily by one set of donors: Las Vegas casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, his wife, Miriam Ochshorn Adelson, and their family.
Yasmin Lukatz and Sivan Ochshorn, Miriam Adelson's daughters from a previous marriage, and Oren Lukatz, who shares an address with Yasmin Lukatz, gave a combined $1 million to a pro-Gingrich super-PAC, Winning Our Future, on Dec. 22, at that point almost half of the committee's receipts since its formation, FEC reports show.
After fourth-place finishes in Iowa and the Jan. 10 New Hampshire primary, Gingrich's campaign was running out of cash - - until Adelson and his wife bailed him out.
The casino owner donated $5 million to Winning Our Future to carry Gingrich's message in South Carolina. The super-PAC bought $1.3 million of broadcast TV time in the Palmetto State - - more than twice what Gingrich campaign spent, according to CMAG data.
$5 Million More
Gingrich won, and as the campaign moved to Florida, Adelson's wife donated another $5 million to the pro-Gingrich super-PAC.
"Imagine if there were no super-PACs, his campaign would have ended before South Carolina," said Bradley Smith, a Republican former FEC chairman and co-chairman of the Center for Competitive Politics who promotes looser campaign finance laws.
In a statement in January to Bloomberg News, the Adelsons said their "motivation for helping Newt is simple and should not be mistaken for anything other than the fact that we hold our friendship with him very dear and are doing what we can as private citizens to support his candidacy."
"Our means of support might be more than others are able to offer, but like most Americans, words such as friendship and loyalty still mean something to us," they said.
Rick Tyler, spokesman of Winning the Future, said in a Jan. 31 interview on Bloomberg Television that he has "no knowledge" of whether more Adelson money is on the way after the former speaker's 14-point loss to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in Florida's Jan. 31 primary. Adelson didn't return calls and emails yesterday.
In an interview with MSNBC in January, Sig Rogich, Adelson's government affairs consultant, said the Adelsons' giving doesn't come with strings.
"I don't think it's buying a presidency any more than it was when Joe Kennedy helped his son," Rogich said.

ChumpCar World Series who has started a drift circuit for 2014 has put a cancelation to its season opener this weekend at Road Atlanta. We have reached out to official channels and haven't gotten a reply yet. It does appear the next two event they are throwing at Texas and Portland are still going to continue on.
Road Atlanta turned into a problem venue for them it appears early on when they had to change the track location from Turn 10 to somewhere else due to an exclusivity agreement with Road Atlanta and Formula Drift. I have spoken to some drivers who confirmed they got an email notification that the event is canceled this weekend and are awaiting refunds right now. We will keep you guys posted as we get more information on the ChumpCar series.

Seborrheic Keratosis Fell Off In 3 Weeks
Author: Artemisa O.

Testimonial ID: 7287-OR
I had a Seborrheic Keratosis, which is similar to a mole except that it does not have a root into the skin because it is generally caused by excessive sun exposure, etc. After using the Young Living oils it dried up and came off.
Mine was located on my chest and was fairly small (less than half the size of a green pea). I began applying one drop of Thyme, Oregano, Melrose, and Purification twice daily, in the morning and at night. I felt a slight burning sensation, but it would cease after a few minutes.
In a few days, I noticed that it looked as though it was enlarged, hard, and dry. I continued applying the oils and in less than 3 weeks it dried up. On the day it came off, I applied the oils 3 times and noticed that the third and last time I applied the oils, the Seborrheic Keratosis seemed to of have shriveled or decrease in size and dry up completely. I gently pulled it and it just came right off, with no pain!
I thank God for these oils and for the wonderful founders who have been successful in extracting and producing these powerful and potent oils which can help us all find natural + effective relief and "support" for many health ailments.
Thank you and God bless!!

Remember? Kruschev stated "We will bury you" in 1956.
And don't blame all this on President Obama. He is simply one of many. He will be a historical figure standing at a signpost in American history. We are now at the
crossroad. The progressive, political liberal left is pointing and chanting toward the wrong path for the Republic.
"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will dig you in" ("Нравится вам или нет, но история на нашей стороне. Мы вас закопаем"). In his subsequent public speech Khrushchev declared: "[…] We must take a shovel and dig a deep grave, and bury colonialism as deep as we can". Later, on August 24, 1963, Khrushchev remarked in his speech in Yugoslavia, "I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you," a reference to the Marxist saying, "The proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism", based on the concluding statement in Chapter 1 of the Communist Manifesto: "What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable". Khrushchev repeated this Marxist thesis at a meeting with journalists in the U.S. in September 1959.

This cake is a close second to s'mores by the campfire. You can adjust the amount of marshmallows and chocolate chips to your liking. —Deborah Williams, Peoria, Arizona
- 2-1/2 cups reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs (about 15 whole crackers)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cake flour
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg whites
- 1 cup light soy milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites, soy milk, applesauce and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray.
