Job Corps Tribe Signs Contract Dixon- A new contract for the Kicking Horse Manpower Center has been accepted. The Tribal Council last Thursday approved the two year contract in spit of misgivings about some aspects of the U.S. Department of Labor offer. The total package for the new contract is $2,036,651. A delegation of Tribal A delegation of Tribal Coun-cilmen and other reservation officials met in Washington D. C. with Labor Department negotiators September 14 to talk over a second term of Tribal operation of the three year old complex located east of Ronan. Some tribal negotiators were disappointed in certain provisions in the Labor Department offer such as a reducation in the contractor's fee from $78,000 to $66,000. But the Department agreed to go along with two 5.5 percent pay raises -- one in Nov. of this year and one the following year. The new pact also includes a rugling that Manpower power training works-projects could be made on tribal lands. Kicking Horse Manpower Director, Wayne Hamel told the Council Thursday that he was satisfied that the new offer would sufficiently benefit the Tribe to warrent acceptance as it stands. Acting Job Corps Committee Chairman Tom Pablo, Hot Springs, agreed pointing out that the new works projects ruling could be of more benefit to the Tribe than the $12,000 lost in the contractors fee. The Kicking Horse Manpower Training Center was completed in 1965 as an Office of Economic Opportunity Job Corps training Center. It was abandoned in 1969 as a Department of Labor MDTA Project and was turned over to tribal administration in 1970. Planned Forestry Program Editor's Note- This is a continuation of an introduction on forestry started in the last issue of Char-Koosta. The completed article will be the first in a series on the forests and forestry. The series will try to take an honest look at the forest lands and how they are managed. We will look at past feathers and flubs of the for- estry program and try to get an idea about the future of the forests from a number of different viewpoints. .

NUMBER 11 MOON OF HALF AUTUMN-HALF SUMMER PRICE 10c Jesuit Fathers Return Mission Lands St. Ignatius- Some 1,000 acres of missionary lands taken from the tribe by the U.S. Government in 1904 has been returned The lands, 1,033 acres in and around St. Ignatius, were taken from the tribe by authority of the Act of 1904 and given to the Fathers of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). A delegation of Jesuit Fathers, from Portland and Missoula, were at last Friday's Council meeting with a pair of otters which would return the lands to tribal control. Father Davis of Portland and Father McNaulty of Missoula first offered to turn over the land to the tribe with no strings attached....but they also made another proposal with strings. Father Davis proposed the tribe pay the assessed value of the lands (about $200 to $250 per acre) and place the money in a trust account. The trust, Father Davis explained, would be used for religious teaching and education of children. He said the trust would be administered by a board consisting of four tribal members and three Fathers. Councilman Tom "Bear-head" Swaney questioned the trust account proposal on the principal that it would maintain the paternal relationship between the church and the tribe. He said the tribe has grown up and are "now capable of looking after our own affairs". Swaney made a motion to accept the initial offer of accepting the return of the 1904 lands without strings and negotiating for the purchase of (cont. on page 2) Tribe-Montana Power Plan Powersite Missoula-A closed door session between Montana Power officials and members of the Tribal Council and advisors was held last Friday on the possibility of developing two new reservation river power sites. The Tribe and Montana Power agreed to meet again in about two months after both have completed evaluation studies on the Kerr Dam facility. The meeting, held in the Florence hotel at the invitation of Montana Power, was called to discuss an application to the Federal Power Commission for the development of Buffalo Rapids II and IV, The two sites are located withing the re< ervation downstream of Montana Power's leased facility at Kerr Dam. The proposal, which was first brought up some seven years ago, would provide electric generating plants at Buffalo Rapids II (just north of Horseshow Ben, see map) and Buffalo Rapids IV (on the river due west of Charlo) The reservoir for the two installations would back the river up from a point ajacent to Charlo to the power-house of Kerr Dam or dome 35 (cont. on page 5)

Shell to build natural gas plants in La., Canada
Published: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 4:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 4:03 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — Royal Dutch Shell said today it plans to build a small-scale, natural gas-liquefaction plant in Geismar and one in Canada that will provide fuel for commercial customers.
The company will install the Louisiana unit at its Geismar Chemicals facility, south of Baton Rouge. The company also plans to build a facility in Sarnia, Ontario, on the southern shore of Lake Huron just east of Michigan.
Each plant will be able to produce 250,000 tons per year of LNG by chilling natural gas so it can be compressed into a liquid and stored in high-pressure insulated tanks.
Shell did not release the projects' costs.
The Louisiana unit will supply LNG along the Mississippi River and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, to onshore exploration areas in Texas and Louisiana and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
Shell said it has an agreement with Edison Chouest Offshore companies to supply LNG fuel to vessels operating in the Gulf. Under the agreement, Edison Chouest will also provide what is expected to be the first LNG barging and refueling operation in North America at the firm's Port Fourchon facilities. LNG transport barges will move the fuel from Geismar to Port Fourchon, where the barges will refuel customer vessels.
Shell said that in order to serve oil and gas and other industrial customers in Texas and Louisiana, the company will get LNG terminalling, storage, transportation and distribution from Martin Energy Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Martin Resource Management Corp.
"Natural gas is an abundant and cleaner-burning energy source in North America, and Shell is leveraging its LNG expertise and integrated strength to make LNG a viable fuel option for the commercial market," Shell Oil Co. president Marvin Odum said in a news release. "We are investing now in the infrastructure that will allow us to bring this innovative and cost-competitive fuel to our customers."
The new facilities are expected to take about three years to complete.

Since June 2010, when I first wrote the Couch Potato Workout column, it has been by far my most talked-about column. So, for all you homebodies and sofa-surfing friends out there who aren't motivated enough to get to the gym (yet!), I've decided to add to the previous tired man's special a few more tips to go for it without going too far.
If you recall, the previous column dealt with basic isometrics; that standing and sitting can positively affect your health and physical appearance. I talked about using commercial breaks during TV time to do simple interval workouts. Well, two years later, it's time to kick it up a notch!
Following are three more ways you can build muscle, burn calories and boost metabolism, even as you maintain your busy television-watching schedule. All it takes is 10 to 15 minutes of total activity in a day to make a difference. So let's get cracking.
Slide to the edge of the sofa and lean back slightly. Hold your abs tight and lift both knees toward your chest. Repeat as many times as you can. You should feel your ab muscles begin to burn. Keep your abs tight to avoid lower-back pain. For a slightly easier workout, alternate one leg at a time.
Sit straight up with knees at 90 degrees and your feet flat on the ground. Hold your abs tight and place a large knotted towel between your knees (the size of a large grapefruit or a bit bigger). Contract your inner thighs to squeeze the knot for a 30-second count. Relax for 10 seconds and repeat. Do this a total of five times, and then rest. Great thigh workout for gals and guys.
Sit straight up with knees at 90 degrees; feet flat on the ground. Holding a soup can in each hand, lift your arms straight up with elbows next to ears. Now, bend your elbows back to 90 degrees behind your head. Squeeze those triceps to straighten your arms, pressing the soup cans up. Slowly lower to the start position, then complete 12 reps. Go for three sets.
The average sitcom includes between nine and 12 minutes of commercials. During a single episode of "New Girl," you could get in enough of your daily activity to positively impact your overall health.
Truth is, your muscles don't care where you are, as long as they get used. Couch, gym, yard, wherever! So give the Couch Potato Workout a try tonight. You and your muscles will be glad you did.

NA names Zahller fastpitch head coach
With over 20 years of experience in coaching, Tom Zahller steps back into the job he loves, taking the head position for fast pitch softball at New Albany, as announced at the Monday night session of the New Albany School Board.
The former Southeastern Oklahoma State baseball standout boasts experience at all levels in coaching, from USSSA to semi-professional, but said his passion lies in high school softball.
"This is the golden opportunity to mentor these girls at this level and eventually help get them a college education," he said. "They're not afraid to be push, and when you challenge them, they will work twice as hard. They are motivated, and that's what intrigues me, because they're underestimated and they want to be pushed."
Zahller worked this past season as an assistant under Athletic Director Shane Sanderson, who coached both slow pitch and fast pitch. While he will continue to head the slow pitch program, the promotion will help Sanderson focus on his administrative duties during the spring, the busiest part of the school year.
"I felt like I was cheating the kids, and Mr. (Lance) Evans and Mr. (John) Ferrell worked that much harder to keep up with the department while I was coaching," Sanderson said. "When I brought Tom on as my assistant, I felt like I had a man that could lead this program in the right direction while I can go back to my administrative duties. I feel like we made a good move, and this will work best for everyone involved."
"The New Albany school system has a lot of pride, and the stars aligned for me at the right time," Zahller added. "Coach Sanderson was a good mentor, getting me up to speed with everything and was very straight forward. We're heading in a very positive direction, and both Coach Sanderson and I have a similar philosophy and that is that the young ladies are student athletes first. This is a great honor, and I'm very fortunate Dr. (Charles) Garrett and Mr. Evans gave me this opportunity."
Zahller has already taken over the program, working with the Lady Bulldogs during their June summer league season in Tippah County. Losing three seniors from last year's squad, going back to basics is now the focus.
"The biggest thing this summer is taking the time to fix the little things," he said. "Last year, they made mistakes, and it's hard during the summer because there's limited time and practices, so we're concentrating on the basics, playing the Tippah County schools as well as a tournament at Myrtle. We're looking at what the younger girls can do and working on techniques."
Zahller also looks to two rising seniors to help lead the junior-laden team and is pleased with the new leadership of the team.
"Jalanna Cameron and Amber Mirfield are our seniors for next year, and the biggest thing that I preach is that leaders aren't picked, you either are or you aren't one. It'll be interesting to see them take over, and they have done a great job so far."
New Albany finished the 2011 fast pitch season at 9-14 (2-8).

- Chevron repairs done at Richmond refinery; restart may be delayed
RICHMOND -- Willful disregard of internal safety policies and a failure to replace corroded pipes led to the massive Aug. 6 fire at Chevron's Richmond refinery, top state and federal investigators said Friday.
A decade of neglect by the company and ineffective regulatory oversight by underfunded agencies meant that Chevron missed multiple opportunities to replace the corroded pipe that later leaked and exploded, shutting down the heart of the refinery for months.
"As early as 2002 ... the Richmond refinery could have taken timely action to replace the piping that failed on Aug. 6," said Dan Tillema, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board's lead chemical incident investigator. "However, Chevron failed to do so. In fact the California process safety regulatory system lacked sufficient well-trained, technically competent staff and also lacked more rigorous regulatory requirements to require Chevron to reduce safety risk."
The California Occupational Safety and Health Program, commonly known as Cal/OSHA, determined that the pipe that leaked and exploded had been passed over for replacement at least three times, according to agency chief Ellen Widess.
"(Chevron) knowingly failed to comply with standards," she said.
Chevron also failed to shut down the unit after the pipe sprang a leak of high-temperature gas oil, which could have averted a subsequent ignition of hydrocarbons, and did not promptly evacuate workers from the danger area.
The critical report was aired during a public meeting called by state Sens. Loni Hancock (D-Berkeley) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord) and Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) at the Richmond Memorial Civic Center to review what happened in this disaster and avoid future accidents.
Earlier Friday, Cal/OSHA gave Chevron the green light to restart operations at crude unit No. 4, which Chevron anticipates starting up before the end of June.
Chevron spokeswoman Melissa Ritchie said in an email statement that the company is committed to working with state officials in the "development of new regulations" while improving internal safety operations.
"We are strengthening our reliability and inspection programs, increasing management oversight and accountability, and enhancing leak response protocols," Ritchie wrote.
More than 15,000 people sought treatment at area hospitals after the fire and several refinery workers were treated for minor injuries. A plume of smoke was visible throughout the Bay Area.
Cal/OSHA has slapped Chevron with 25 citations, 11 of them the most serious, for "willful" violations of safety rules. The fines, the steepest in the agency's history, amount to $963,000.
Chevron has appealed all citations.
Both Skinner and Hancock have authored bills targeting industrial working conditions and penalties that may be imposed on industries that emit air pollution. Both are working their way through the Legislature.
Donald Holmstrom, western regional office director of the Chemical Safety Board, said serious questions remain about the regulatory framework governing California's 1,600 refineries and chemical plants given that the overlapping oversight agencies are undermanned and overwhelmed. Chevron's refinery answers to Contra Costa County, the city of Richmond, the EPA and Cal/OSHA, yet none detected the refinery's lax maintenance of its pipes. "This patchwork system of regulation has serious challenges," Holmstrom said. "In the case of the Chevron refinery fire, the reactive system of regulation simply did not work to prevent what was ultimately a preventable accident."
County Supervisor John Gioia said the county must conduct its own top-to-bottom audit of the refinery.
"The corroded pipes were only the tip of the iceberg," Gioia said. "There is clearly a larger safety issue at the refinery."

Couple charged with human trafficking
Man, woman arrested at Biloxi hotel
A man and woman arrested on a prostitution charge at a Biloxi hotel now face a charge of human trafficking.
Biloxi police Sgt. Aldon Helmert told The Sun Herald that 24-year-old Brandon Rashard Swanier, of Pass Christian, and 21-year-old Amanda Lynn Sepulveda, of Gulfport, are accused of subjecting a woman into forced sexual services.
Helmert said police had been investigating suspicions of pimping activity for several months, which led to the couple's arrest on a prostitution charge March 18.
No details were released on how the pair allegedly forced a woman into prostitution.
Swanier and Sepulveda have remained in custody at the Harrison County jail. Police filed the human trafficking charge, a felony, on Wednesday.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The long-term cost of providing health and dental benefits for retired state workers has jumped up $1.7 billion in a year.
State Controller John Chiang released a new report Thursday showing that California taxpayers are on the hook for an estimated $63.8 billion over 30 years. The unfunded liability as of June grew from $62.1 billion a year earlier.
Chiang says the liability grew less than expected due to fewer and less expensive claims.
California follows a pay-as-you-go method and allocated $1.8 billion in the current budget to pay for current and future retirees. Chiang says California should have really put in $5 billion to meet its long-term obligations.
The controller is urging lawmakers to pre-fund the benefits just as the state does for pension benefits.

Paula Deen Wins One: Racial Bias Claim Tossed
(NEWSER) – You know you've made it—or something like that—when both the New York Times and TMZ are covering you. Both publications, among a slew of others, report that a federal judge yesterday threw out the racial bias claim filed against Paula Deen by a former restaurant manager. (This, you'll recall, is the suit that brought Deen's use of the n-word to light and led to such memorable lines as "I is what I is.")

KINGS BEACH, Calif. - A number of people who own parcels along Highway 28 through downtown will soon be paying an annual fee to help maintain streetscape improvements upon completion of the Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project.
In a 4-0 vote Tuesday, the Placer County Board of Supervisors approved the formation of a Benefit Assessment District, after tabulated ballots - weighed by their dollar amount - indicated parcel owners within the proposed district supported the measure.
In all, 123 ballots representing $78,083.74 of proposed assessments voted in favor, while 56 ballots representing $42,930.20 were against.
Since there was no majority protest - meaning more than 50 percent of weighted opposition - the board had the authority to form the district, said Peter Kraatz, deputy director of Placer County Department of Public Works, at Tuesday's meeting at the North Tahoe Event Center.
The total annual amount the district will collect from parcel owners is $166,000, which will mostly cover snow management along with trash removal; sidewalk cleaning; landscape maintenance; reserve funds for damage, repair or replacement of improvements; and administration fees.
The district will extend on both sides of Highway 28, from Highway 267 to Chipmunk Street.
Impacted property owners will have a new charge on their property tax bill once project improvements are ready for maintenance.
According to previous reports, the highway portion of the $48 million project, which aims to improve bike and pedestrian safety and the aesthetics and feel of downtown, is likely to get under way this year and will take at least two years to complete.
A total of 290 assessment ballots were mailed to parcel owners by Placer County on Nov. 29, but only 187 ballots were turned in the allotted time, with eight of those ballots deemed invalid.
The vote was 4-0 since district 1 Supervisor Jack Duran did not attend Tuesday's meeting.

ALAMEDA -- The process of rebuilding the Raiders includes welcoming back Darren McFadden for the final year of his contract.
Scheduled to earn just over $5.8 million, coming off a disappointing season and general manager Reggie McKenzie's philosophy of fiscal responsibility and building with young talent, McFadden's status was the subject of speculation.
Based on what McKenzie told reporters Thursday, there are no plans to trade or release McFadden after a season during which he gained 707 yards on 216 carries, averaging 3.3 yards per attempt.
"I'm confident Darren's going to play his last season, regardless of what's out there,'' McKenzie said. "We have no decision to do anything with Darren.''
McKenzie traced McFadden's issues to an offensive system that did not best utilize his skills as a "north-south runner.''
"When you talk about scheme, he's not a lateral mover," McKenzie said.
Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp was fired following the regular-season by coach Dennis Allen. Knapp's zone-blocking system requires runners to first move laterally before waiting to cut upfield.
Additional notes from McKenzie's first meeting with local reporters since Nov. 30:
Former Raiders head coach Norv Turner was contacted, McKenzie said, but was not interested. He said Marc Trestman, who was named the Chicago Bears head coach, was also contacted.
Former Rams head coach Mike Martz has been interviewed and former Jacksonville quarterbacks coach is also a reported candidate.
McKenzie said he hadn't talked to McClain about a recent arrest for giving a false name to police in Decatur, Ala., and didn't plan to talk to him.
It gives coaches and scouts a chance to observe players in meetings and practices, as well as in a relaxed informal atmosphere.
"I think it's invaluable information to get to see the real person," McKenzie said

Cafe's one-way mirror allows peeks into restroom
Published: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 7:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 7:54 a.m.
VIENNA (AP) — An Austrian artist has installed a one-way mirror in a Vienna cafe that allows men to peek from their restroom into the ladies room.
Alexander Riegler told the daily Heute newspaper Monday that the mirror is an attempt to "stir people into a discussion of voyeurism and surveillance," in an era when almost everyone is being watched.
Cafe employee Alexander Khael-Khaelsberg says the mirror only shows women at the sink and does not offend anyone's private sphere. He told the daily Heute newspaper Monday that women will get their turn in January, when the mirror is reversed to let them look at men's faces while they stand at the urinal.
The restaurant recently put up a sign advising women that they are part of an "art project" after complaints.

STOCKTON - Police arrested one of two men who led officers on a high-speed pursuit in a stolen vehicle early Wednesday, authorities said.
Officers attempted to make a traffic stop about 3 a.m. in the 1900 block of La Jolla Drive, but the driver failed to yield, police said. The driver led authorities on a three-mile pursuit that lasted three minutes and reached speeds of 60 mph, officers said.
The vehicle then stopped, and the occupants attempted to flee on foot. One was apprehended, but another got away, police said.
Sophorth Nhem, 30, was arrested on suspicion of auto theft, possession of burglary tools and possession of stolen property, authorities said.
The other person who fled from the vehicle was described as a black man about 30 years old standing 6 feet tall and weighing 180 pounds with a gray hooded sweatshirt, police said.

LAFAYETTE -- The fantastic origins of coffee and tea, the subject of a recent Science Café lecture at the Lafayette Library, were nearly overshadowed by guest speaker Saint Mary's College Biology Professor Dr. Anthony Talo's intro.
Promising a mix of fascinating mythology, anthropology, botany and history, Talo explained his lecture's raison d'être: "I needed an ethnobotany class for Jan Term," said Talo, talking about the college's four-week January slate of unusual and ambitious course offerings. "I had to figure out how to condense a course on hallucinogens into something the Brothers at Saint Mary's would like."
Talo, trained in plant biology, an expert in cultural ecology and adept at an eclectic blend of digital map production, filmmaking and coffee roasting, has been intrigued by psychoactive drugs for years. A fear of blood and needles prematurely aborted his medical school plans; fortunately, Gibberellins (plant hormones), Richard Evans Schultes (the father of ethnobotany) and the movie "The Medicine Man" formed a safety net.
"It won a Razzie Award for Lorraine Bracco," Talo said about the film, "but it -- and Shultes' search for rubber alternatives in the Amazon -- were my inspiration for saving indigenous plants. I like that plants produce chemicals that control our culture."
Dismissing his own title, "Battle of the Beverage Titans," Talo said "caffeine makes people do amazing things" and proceeded to speak less about battles than about birthplace.
A mere seven plant species produce caffeine. Tea comes from Asia's Camellia and Citrus species (caffeine is only in the flower of the latter). Africa's Coffea and Cola, plus South America's Yerba Mate, Cacao and Guarana form the coffee brigade.
"It's interesting that something so profound is so limited," Talo said.
Inevitably, scientists classified coffees -- and simplicity flew out the window with "Rubiaceae" families, "Morinda" (a name instantly adored by the audience) and other exotic monikers. Essentially, millions of years ago, two central African species had "a love child," Talo said, resulting in coffea arabica and, eventually, thousands of Starbucks stores.
"Normally, the (love child plant's) chromosomes shouldn't have survived, but plants are plastic," he said, describing other strains -- some tasting like dishwater -- that failed to gain popularity.
Tea developed from a single species, but a proliferation of origin stories exist, including Talo's version.
"The whole subcontinent of India rammed in to Asia," he began. The upthrust land, the Himalayas, dispersed the tea population, resulting in the 'China Type,' cultivated in most regions at higher elevations, and the 'Assam Type,' found in humid forests near sea level.
After the geography, there came tea and coffee tales of demigods, emperors, the goatherder Kaldi (a hip, young dude in some versions, an aging geezer in others) and ghoulish details like ripped-out eyeballs as "seeds" for tea plants.
"Regardless of the myth or the culture, religion is what ties them together and spreads them throughout the world," Talo said.
The "spread," especially in Europe, had a distinct impact on everything from architecture to industry. Water wasn't safe to drink during the Dark Ages: most people drank beer, according to Talos.
"For most of human history, we'd been slightly addled," he said.
Caffeine made people lucid, turning barrooms into coffeehouses and drunken brawling into cross-class conversations about politics, math and The Enlightenment. An audience member asked how London became "the center of tea."
Questions about tea varietals prompted Talo to explain that rolled, crinkled leaves -- left to sit for days -- result in black tea. Bruised leaves make gray teas, and leaves steamed without assault give rise to white or green tea.
With coffee, standardization results in a product he said "saves the wallet, but not the flavor."
The best way to prepare coffee is to fresh-roast it, grind it fine in an aero press (a device that pushes a vacuum through a filter), roast at 450 degrees for 10 minutes and brew.
"Heat is the enemy of coffee: boil and percolate are the worst," he warned.

Running 1.72 on Windows 8 x64, I found an interesting problem. I currently have my videos in the following folder structure:
e:\media\done\movies\christmas\christmas specials\<files>
One of these Christmas specials was having audio issues, so I wanted to transcode it on the fly to see if I could get it to work. When I went to the #transcode folder for these files, it showed all of the files in that folder, but when I selected the file I wanted to transcode, it would not list anything when I tried to select it. I thought it might have to do with the "larger" number of files in that folder (73), so I moved the one I wanted up one folder level and then everything worked! I then thought it might have to do with the "directory string length", so I tried shorter directory string lengths but that didn't work.
Basically, it looks like PMS currently does not provide #transcoding options for files that are (5) directories deep ... when I moved it up to (4) I had no problems.
I can work around this as needed , but does anyone know if this is a known limitation or if there might be a way to configure this to work?

Get down and dirty in the garden

After trying farm-fresh eggs from DeLoach Vineyards' Biodynamic, organic farm and garden, I've made a vow to buy only local eggs whenever possible.
While visiting the winery earlier this year, I got the chance to sample half a dozen eggs from DeLoach's pasture-raised hens. The farm-fresh eggs, which ranged in color from ivory to speckled brown, had bright orange yolks and an exceptional, creamy taste. Besides the aesthetics and delicious flavor, pasture-raised eggs boast more nutritious value than their supermarket counterparts; eggs from hens raised on pasture contain four to six times as much vitamin D!
Farm-fresh eggs come in various colors, shapes and sizes. Photo By Kim Wallace.
These healthy hens are part of DeLoach Vineyards' rich, organic ecosystem created under Biodynamic standards. They forage for food and eat a natural diet that consists of seeds, plants, insects, worms and grains. This diverse food choices starkly contrasts with that of factory farm chickens, which are usually fed cheap, additive-laced corn, soy and cottonseed meals. This results in inferior eggs that lack richness, body and texture; you can taste the difference between eggs from farm-fresh and factory-fed chickens!

Luckily, my newfound love for farm-fresh eggs is easily supported here in the heartland. I'm fortunate to work in an office sprinkled with farmers and homesteaders, so I'll be getting my beautiful brown and ivory eggs from Grit magazine editor Hank Will every few weeks.
Where do you get your eggs? Can you taste (and see!) the difference between farm-fresh eggs and factory-farm eggs? Tell me about it in the comments section.

McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — Panhandlers in McAlester are going to have to take a more refined approach.
The McAlester City Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance that bans "aggressive" begging. The measure also applies to other forms of street-corner solicitation.
The ordinance passed unanimously, as did a second proposal that prohibits pedestrians from asking for work, a ride or money from anyone in an automobile.
Council member Buddy Garvin says residents have expressed concerns for their safety due to the significant number of aggressive panhandlers in McAlester.
City Attorney Joe Ervin told the McAlester News-Capital (http://is.gd/e2ippK ) the new rules don't prohibit people from asking for assistance. But the ordinances have the effect of making it illegal for panhandlers to not take no for an answer.

White House Wisdom From Uruguay's Colorful Mujica
Uruguay's president, making his first appearance in the Oval Office, urged the U.S. to learn Spanish and fight big tobacco.
José Mujica Cordano is a former guerrilla with a folksy style, socially liberal policies and plans put his country's marijuana trade into state hands. Neither President Barack Obama nor Mr. Mujica mentioned legalized pot in brief remarks ahead of a formal meeting at the White House.
Get more from the White House, first thing in the morning, by signing up for the Capital Journal Daybreak newsletter: on.wsj.com/CapitalJournalSignup.
Mr. Mujica is known for candid talk and an informal style. He didn't disappoint.
"The first thing he said to me was that my hair has become much grayer since the last time he saw me," Mr. Obama joked.

The 78-year-old also weighed in on language, the evils of smoking, the force of Latin women, the efficiency of Germans and the importance of education while Mr. Obama sat forward in his chair and occasionally nodded.
He also broke with Oval Office protocol by foregoing a tie during a formal meeting. The leader of the small Latin American nation donned a black three-piece suit.
Here are a few of Mr. Mujica's pearls of wisdom (spoken via a translator):
On language and women:
We live in the south. We have a soul of the south. We belong to a continent where our mother tongue is more or less Spanish. And we live in a time where we need to learn English — yes or yes. And you will have to become a bilingual country — yes or yes. Because the strength of Latin women is admirable and they will fill this country with people who speak Spanish and Portuguese, too.
On study abroad:
And from the humbleness of my little Uruguay, my people…come here to seek out knowledge and research in all groups of the biological sciences, particularly in land that require local research, because the continent must produce much food for the world. And besides, this is the most advanced country in the world for biological sciences, but we don't want to merely send students out because they get married — (laughter) — and the American corporations pay more money, so we lose these qualified people. We have to bring teachers so then can come, but we need to make arrangements so that they can continue to contribute to Social Security here. Wisdom must be looked for there where it is.
On German efficiency:
And I must tell you that in Germany I asked the same thing from Mrs. Merkel, and with the efficiency that Germans have she set up a plan for 10,000 qualified retirees that are on call to spend some time and convey knowledge. And that I believe that in the long term that's worth much more than money, everything that is being asked for.
On smoking:
In the world, per year, 8 million people are dying from smoking. And that is more than World War I, World War II. It's murder. We are in an arduous fight — very arduous — and we must fight against very strong interests. Governments must not be involved in private litigation, but here we're fighting for life. And nobody must be distracted in this fight for life, because out of all values, the most important one is life itself.
On aging:
I am getting old, and to be old means you don't want to leave home. I would like to be a little bit younger to see Mississippi, know the ranches — in Los Angeles, the milk farms, other things. But please convey a hug — I embrace all agriculturalists of this nation.

Scripture: Exodus 24:9 NIV Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up
10 and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself.
11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
Observation: What an amazing verse, perhaps one of the most amazing, to me, in the entire Old Testament. I sincerely doubt that their eating and drinking was something they brought with them. Surely the One who provided manna and water for the millions below could provide for the seventy now with Moses on the mountain. (Even if the only had what they brought with them, it would have been what God provided. That is all Israel had to eat and drink! There was no other food.) But this special meal was provided by God. And what made it special was that they were eating in His Presence. How greatly God desires fellowship!
Application: I do not want to lag behind when God calls me to the mountain for fellowship with Him! For me it is usually searching the scriptures on my laptop computer. I do not want to spend the time grudgingly. I do not want to complain about the climb. If the result is meeting with God, let no mountain path be too rough or too steep!
Prayer: Lord, it is a great privilege and honor to fellowship with you in the Bible. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

NYU President Focusing on Fundraising for Student Financial Aid
As New York University president John Sexton begins the final two years of his tenure, he will consider issues such as student debt, the value of an NYU education and who his successor will be, he said in a recent interview.
"We care about student debt," Mr. Sexton said. "But the more important thing for us is that when students borrow to go to school they're getting the best education possible in return for that borrow. That makes it wise borrowing."
In January NYU is opening the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering in downtown Brooklyn — one of the last major initiatives of Mr. Sexton's presidency, which ends in 2016. The engineering school is NYU's 14th school in total and will cost $40,000 per year.
Mr. Sexton has been criticized for devising potentially costly expansion plans while student debt surges, but he said an NYU education is a prudent investment.
"We provide the highest quality education we can, so when a student borrows to go to college, they're getting as much value as they can. We prepare them for a joyful, useful, prosperous — however they define prosperous — life. If you borrow wisely, it's okay. If you borrow $28,000 to buy two sports cars, that's a different kind of borrowing. A college education will stay with you for life. A sports car will be worth half as much the minute you drive it into the streets."
That said, "our single highest priority right now at NYU is raising money for financial aid," Mr. Sexton said.
The university president said it is unlikely that NYU will open another school during his tenure. "My job now is to create an organic transition to the next team," he said.
Asked who he thinks should or will succeed him, Mr. Sexton said he has "no idea at all," but is "curious."
He'll find out "in due time," he said.

Mortgage Slowdown Will Hit Some Banks Harder Than Others
While U.S. banks are broadly poised to report sharply lower mortgage banking revenue for the third quarter, some banks won't be hit as hard as others.
Wells Fargo & Co.'s mortgage banking revenue mix is widely seen as more balanced than that of peer Bank of America, a trait that is largely viewed as a positive amid the fizzling of a refinancing boom.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters have raised their third-quarter earnings estimates on Wells Fargo–the nation's largest mortgage company by loan value–by 4.3% since July 1. Meanwhile, rival Bank of America Corp. has seen its estimates cut by 27%.
"Wells Fargo is one of the best positioned banks to handle the refinance shift," says Kevin Barker, an analyst with Compass Point Research & Trading LLC.
About 61.6% of Wells Fargo's mortgage production was linked to refinancing in the first half of 2013, according to numbers compiled by Inside Mortgage Finance. By contrast, refinancing made up 70.9% of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s mortgage production and 82.7% of Bank of America's.
Mortgage refinance volume helped fuel a surge in bank profits last year. But this year, volume has dropped an estimated 45% in the third quarter since the year-ago quarter, and 42% from the second quarter, according to a recent forecast from the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Wells Fargo last month told investors it expects mortgage originations to drop nearly 30% in the third quarter. J.P. Morgan, meanwhile, has said it expects to lose money on its mortgage-origination business in the second half of the year, and that mortgage originations are on pace to drop as much as 40% from the first half of the year.
Given Bank of America's reliance on refinancing, the lender could report an even steeper drop than its peers, possibly 40% to 50%, predicts Guy Cecala, chief executive and publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance.
Bank of America's mortgage production revenue is vulnerable to a slowdown in refinancing in part because the lender no longer sees revenue from correspondent lending–where smaller banks originate loans for larger mortgage companies like Bank of America. It exited that business in 2011 as part of a larger strategy to narrow its focus and bolster its financial strength.
Another factor that better positions Wells Fargo for the refinancing slowdown is its relatively strong servicing portfolio. Mortgage servicing is the business of collecting mortgage payments and, when necessary, handling foreclosures.
While mortgage-refinancing revenue suffers amid higher interest rates, servicing revenue benefits because lower refinancing means less turnover on servicing rights. This along with fewer delinquencies allows banks to mark up the values of these rights.
However Mr. Barker warns that in the third quarter rates haven't risen enough to warrant more than a minimal markup. "In the third quarter you're going to see a point where mortgage production declines are going to overwhelm benefits you'll see on the servicing sides," he says.
Comparing servicing businesses at various banks can be tough, says Mr. Cecala. This is because net servicing revenue includes items like amortization and changes in the value of servicing rights–and different banks account for these differently. "The way they report it can be all over the board," says Mr. Cecala.
Still, on the basis of volume, Wells Fargo in the second quarter had about 19% of total market share for mortgage servicing: it serviced $1.85 trillion dollars of mortgages in the quarter according to data from Inside Mortgage Finance. By contrast, J.P. Morgan had 10.8% and Bank of America had 10.1% and Citigroup Inc. had 4.3%.
In recent years, Bank of America has been paring its servicing portfolio. In the first quarter, Bank of America agreed to sell servicing rights for about $330 billion in unpaid principal mortgage balances.
A spokesman for Bank of America noted that mortgage servicing continues to be a priority for the bank, and that most of the cuts to the bank's servicing portfolio have been to minimize the number of delinquent loans it keeps on its books. Bank of America's 2008 purchase of Countrywide Financial Corp. turned the Charlotte, N.C., lender into one of the nation's largest mortgage players, but also saddled it with hundreds of thousands of delinquent loans.

ALAMEDA -- If the Raiders first-team offense were a transit system, there would be thousands of dissatisfied commuters.
The man responsible for making sure things run on time knows it has to be better.
"We need to be more consistent and stay on schedule," Raiders quarterback Matt Schaub said Monday. "You would think the most important down is third down, but it's really first down. You want to put yourself in a manageable situation. To have it second-and-medium or second-and-short really opens up the playbook."
Through two games, Schaub has been on the field for seven possessions that have resulted in five punts, a deflected interception and one touchdown. The Raiders have gained 144 yards, with Schaub completing 11 of 20 passes for 108 yards and a passer rating of 49.6.
With a fan base having seen shaky quarterback play for the better part of the last 10 years and Schaub coming in off his worst season, Raiders coach Dennis Allen has been fielding questions almost daily about the confidence of his quarterback.
"I seem to get that question a lot, but I'm confident with where we're at offensively," Allen said. "I know our group is confident with where we're at. I know Matt Schaub is confident with where he's at."
Schaub likely will play into the third quarter Friday night when the Raiders face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field (5 p.m.), with the hope of generating some consistent offensive play and ease concerns that appear to be everywhere outside the Raiders' own building.
Backup quarterback Derek Carr was on the field on a limited basis but has not been cleared medically after a concussion, and Allen isn't sure if Carr will face Green Bay.
The opening possession of a 27-26 win over the Detroit Lions provided a glimpse into how a Schaub offense will operate, in theory.
There were no negative plays, with a reasonable third-and-6 converted with a 13-yard pass to James Jones and a third-and-2 converted with a short flip to Mychal Rivera that covered 18 yards.
Mixing in some runs with Maurice Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden, the Raiders drove 47 yards to the Detroit 33 -- only to see Schaub's second-and-6 pass to Jones glance off the receiver's hands to Detroit safety James Ihedigbo.
"We moved the ball well, and the turnover set us back," Jones said. "We did what we wanted to do, and that was get a good rhythm. Hopefully we can continue to do that this week."
Schaub said it is crucial to "stay out of third-and-longs, because it gives the defense a chance to call anything they want. If it's third and less than 6, you can throw a flat route and convert rather than force the ball downfield."
In those seven possessions, Schaub has yet to complete a pass that traveled more than 9 yards, with the bigger gains being run-after-catch plays.
In the exhibition opener against Minnesota, Rivera didn't come up with two downfield plays that could have been caught, and a 16-yard pass to Andre Holmes on third-and-6 came back by penalty.
Schaub believes the offense is capable of hitting downfield plays and will do so in time.
"I think we have big- play ability on the outside," Schaub said. "We have big, fast, physical receivers, and in one-on-one situations have shown they can catch the football at the high point and out-jump a defensive back or go up and get it when you give them a chance."
"We don't know exactly what the injury is right now," Allen said.
"I've got a son I'm trying to hang out with for the rest of my life, so we're going to take it slow," Carr said.
Others who did not practice included cornerback Chimdi Chekwa (knee), tight end David Ausberry (knee), wide receiver Juron Criner (hip) and cornerback Taiwan Jones (unspecified injury).

ingredient information
Apples Pieces Dehydrated
Dehydrate: various processes to remove water content from food, mostly to prolong shelf-life. Apples are a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber such as pectin actually helps to prevent cholesterol buildup in the lining of blood vessel walls, thus reducing the incident of atherosclerosis and heart disease. The insoluble fiber in apples provides bulk in the intestinal tract, holding water to cleanse and move food quickly through the digestive system. It is a good idea to eat apples with their skin. Almost half of the vitamin C content is just underneath the skin. Eating the skin also increases insoluble fiber content. Most of an apple's fragrance cells are also concentrated in the skin and as they ripen, the skin cells develop more aroma and flavor. Grown in temperate zones throughout the world and cultivated for at least 3,000 years, apple varieties now number well into the thousands. Apples range in color from lemony yellow to bright yellow-green to crimson red. Their textures range from tender to crisp, their flavors from sweet to tart and from simple to complex. They're available year-round but are at their best from September through November when newly harvested. Apples are a good source of vitamins A and C.

The Washington County Fair Board is hoping a mixture of old - animal shows and sales, truck and tractor pulls, demolition derby - and new - miniature monster trucks, the Ohio Valley Opry and Cledus T. Judd - will draw crowds to the fairgrounds from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3 this year.
But they also realize one of the most important factors, the weather, remains out of their hands.
"The fair board members are praying, and anyone who helps us is praying, for four really nice days to get people through the gates," said Jeremy Barth, fair board secretary.

Indiana-based Mini Monster Kids will put on a show on Sept. 2 at the Washington County Fair featuring youngsters driving small monster trucks like these.
Heavy rains on the final two days of the 2011 fair kept many folks away, and the board took a $50,000 to $60,000 loss that year. The weather was more cooperative last year, but intermittent precipitation still put a damper on some events.
"Last year was probably close to a $15,000 loss," board Treasurer Sandra Hickey said.
While planning is a year-round affair, preparations for the 2013 fair began in earnest the first Monday in August, when pens for cattle and goats were assembled in the multipurpose building. Booths for 4-H displays are already built, and sheep stalls are being completed, Barth said.

Rabbit and poultry events will be held under a tent after the building that usually houses those activities burned down in April. The tent is expected to arrive by the end of the week.
"This Saturday morning, we'll start building cages and rearranging everything so it fits," Barth said.
Although the fair tries to offer something for everyone, the animal showing and sales remain its primary reason for being.
"That really showcases to me the hard work that the junior fair kids (have done)," Barth said.
But the fair is also about fun, and to entertain the crowds, the board is bringing in the Ohio Valley Opry from McConnelsville for a Saturday evening show, and country music comedian Cledus T. Judd - singer of parody songs like "The House That Broke Me" and "Did I Shave My Back for This?" - will take the stage on Sept. 2, following the Ohio finals of the Texaco Country Showdown.
Judd is one of the bigger names the fair has brought in in recent years, even though they're trying to save money where they can.
"We were able to get Cledus for a pretty good price," fair board member Fred Boyd said. "The board this year tried to give the general public, not just a certain group, a different kind of entertainment each day."
That's why the Ohio Valley Opry is paired on the fair's opening day with the popular truck and tractor pulls. More pulls are scheduled for Sunday before that evening's Buckeye Rodeo. And Judd's performance on Monday will be preceded and followed by performances by Mini Monster Kids out of Indiana.
They will be performing on vehicles "about half the size of a regular monster truck," Boyd said. "They're operated by kids ... from about 8 years old to about 13 or 14."
There will also be a couple full-sized monster trucks on hand, one outfitted to offer rides on Monday, he said.
There will, of course, be midway rides, but a new company is providing them this year.
"With the precipitation that's fallen the last couple years here, we needed to cut some expenses, change some things," said Richard Henthorn, another fair board member.
Barth said the new company - Cromer's United Amusements based in Cincinnati - is expected to bring one attraction he and fellow board members are asked about frequently.
"By George, this year at the Washington County Fair, we're supposed to have a Ferris wheel," he said.
A new addition from last year, Chase's Racing Pigs, is coming back after getting a good reception.
The Tuesday night demolition derby is back as well, although the fair is trying to save money by not relying on an outside entity to run it. They attempted that model on the Fourth of July and it went well, Boyd said.
"We had a good crowd. We got two heats in, and then it started raining. But there were still people in the stands watching the next two heats," he said.
Admission to the fair remains at $8, with no additional charge for rides or grandstand and musical events.
