It's easy to think of hunger as a problem faced only by children and families in developing countries overseas — not here in the United States. But a recent scene outside a church in Auburn, Washington, tells a much different story.
On a Saturday morning, nearly 1,000 moms, dads, grandparents, and children line up outside of Grace Community Church. Some arrive nearly two hours before the doors open.
Inside, they know, is a room full of necessary treasures — clothing for babies and kids, strollers, cribs, toys, diapers, food, and more.
When they finally get there, one mother, Joy, is overwhelmed with gratitude. "Yes! The wait was worth it," she proclaims.
World Vision donated several pallets of diapers and boxes of food kits — easy-to-prepare meals, such as rice, beans, and macaroni and cheese, that can feed a family of five for a day.
Families came from throughout the region — some unemployed, others living in subsidized housing, and still others just struggling to get by and in need of some extra resources.
Meghan, age 21, brought her 8-month-old daughter, Autumn Rose, and her younger brother to the event. "I'm a single mom and not working, so I can utilize any help I can get," she says.
"It's very hard, especially being unemployed."
At a table stacked with food kits, 13-year-old Katie Laverty greets families and hands them bags of food.
"People told me, 'Thank you so much! This is so wonderful, you guys,'" she says.
Each kit contains four meal packets, or enough food to feed a family of five for one day by providing sustenance like oatmeal, lentil soup, and pasta.
"The food kit looked really good and easy to prepare," says Katie. "Even if they were out of the streets, they could probably find some hot water. I thought it was cool to see how much they could fit in just a small bag."
Katie came to volunteer with her dad and her younger sister. She is especially impacted by seeing all the young moms.
"It was crazy to see how many young moms there were and how they did it all," she says, noting that she hasn't seen something like this before.
"It was scary to see how many people needed all that stuff. There were a lot of people," Katie adds. "What a privilege it is to have so much at our fingertips. I can open up my pantry and find something in there.
"We should be grateful for everything we have, because we have a lot more than a lot of people — and not just out in Third World countries."
Romanita Hairston, World Vision's vice president for U.S. programs, notes the growing problem of hunger right here in the United States.
"World Vision is extremely concerned about the growing number of children who aren't getting enough food to eat on a daily basis," says Hairston. "When children don't eat, hunger creates a negative domino effect, impacting not only a child's health but their ability to concentrate in school and their overall well-being."
This problem doesn't go away when classes end for the summer, either. In fact, it can get worse, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture notes, because children who depend on free or reduced-cost meals at school lose this safety net during the months of June through August.
So World Vision is working to help fill the gap by supplying food kits for community-based distributions across the United States. For families who live paycheck to paycheck — such assistance can make a critical difference.
Martha, a mother of three including a 3-week-old baby, got a couple of food kits for her family. She confirms that times are tough. "It's really bad right now," she says. "My husband has not been working for about a month."
She also gets food from a food bank and milk from a state assistance program. Without these interventions, she says that her family would go hungry.
But Martha changes tone as she looks at her bags full of food, clothes, and diapers. "We really appreciate it! Thank you to everyone who gives all the food and the diapers and everything in here. It's really nice," she says.
She pauses, tearing up a little. "It's unexplainable. We thank you, for everything."
Read another story about a struggling family in West Virginia who received food support and other assistance through World Vision.
As the global economy continues to falter, pray that struggling families right here in the United States wouldn'
Make a one-time donation to help feed a U.S. family in need for three days. Your gift will help deliver nutritious meals like oatmeal, lentil soup or pasta, and a bean and rice casserole to American families who struggle with hunger.
Give monthly to support children in need in the United States. Your monthly contribution will help provide U.S. children living in poverty with essentials like food, warm clothing, school supplies, academic mentoring, training, and more.

By Lt. Col. Al Hing, Exchange Europe and Southwest AsiaJuly 16, 2013
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany -- Sgt. Richard Cheeseman is the first intern of the Exchange Europe and Southwest Asia Wounded Warrior Intern Program to partner with the Warrior Transition Battalion - Europe to introduce service members into the civilian workplace environment.
"We're so proud that we have Sgt. Cheeseman to be with the Exchange team," said Carl Carpenter, general manager of the Grafenwoehr Consolidated Exchange. "What he brings is so much of the Soldier's perspective and we can provide the Exchange experience so both can really make things better for our customers, the Soldiers and their families."
The intent of the Wounded Warrior Intern Program is integrating service members into the Exchange and provides a user friendly look at the future civilian workplace.
This internship represents just a small part of the overall vision to get veterans to their next step beyond service. The Exchange actively develops and promotes robust internal programs to help maintain its overall status as a top veteran employer.
Two of these include the Retail Management Trainee (RMT) and Advanced Retail Management Trainee (ARMT) programs. Both help veterans acclimate to the business and retail industries.
The Exchange also partners with organizations to help veterans find successful careers. As of March, there were 4,219 veterans employed within the organization.
Last year, the Exchange exceeded its goal of increasing management veteran hires by 15 percent.
Since 2010, the Exchange has hired 325 wounded warriors who have left the service. The Exchange attends "Hiring Heroes" career fairs and is the second largest employer for the Wounded Warrior Project.
"Sgt. Cheeseman has twice deployed (as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom), served his country and provided for our safety and security. There's so much that we want to give back to him and to those like him," continued Carpenter. "We want this program to expand and provide more opportunities to our service members."
"I'm truly supportive of this effort," said Col. Fred Hannah, commander of the Exchange Europe and Southwest Asia. "We can't give enough back to our Soldiers and their families."

Once upon a time in Ireland, if you earned your living as a writer, you didn't have to pay income tax. What a great way to encourage a creative culture, from the country that brought you Joyce, Behan, Yeats and Samuel Beckett. Now WPP is moving to Ireland to take advantage of the tax conditions.
Is the Irish government encouraging creative accounting as well? Of course it's not so simple. WPP is a holding company with hundreds of entities serving a variety of distributed client contracts around the world. It is, on one level, a British 'success story'.
As the Goverment launches its 'Creative Britain' campaign, it seems ironic that one of the major firms that capitalises on creative talent should be fleeing the country. I wonder if they'll all fly Ryanair.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
In early December 1941 in the Philippines, a young Navy ensign named Kemp Tolley was given his first ship command, an old 76-foot schooner that had once served as a movie prop in John Ford's "The Hurricane." Crewed mostly by Filipinos who did not speak English and armed with a cannon that had last seen service in the Spanish-American War, the Lanikai was under top-secret presidential orders to sail south into waters where the Japanese fleet was thought to be. Ostensibly the crew was to spy on Japanese naval movements, but to Tolley it was clear that their mission was to create an incident that would provoke war.
Events overtook the plan, however, when Pearl Harbor was bombed before the Lanikai could get underway. When Bataan and Corregidor fell, she was ordered to set sail for Australia and became one of the few U.S. naval vessels to escape the Philippines. In this book Tolley tells the saga of her great adventure during these grim, early days of the war and makes history come alive as he regales the reader with details of the operation and an explanation of President Roosevelt's order. Tolley's description of their escape in Japanese warship-infested waters ranks with the best of sea tales, and few will be able to forget the Lanikai's 4,000-mile, three-month odyssey.
Kemp Tolley, a retired rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, wrote two other books about his experiences, Caviar and Commissars and Yangtze Patrol. He died in November 2000 at the age of ninety-two.

Unbelievable that this book has not acquired anything approaching the attention it deserves. Written by a Navy Admiral who rose all the way to the top, and who also skippered the boat, this strange Navy boat, on her sad and gallant 'cruise,' it makes the case, irrefutably as far as I can tell, that Roosevelt either devised or personally consented to a plan by advisers to provoke a Japanese attack that would in turn provide the popular support for a declaration of war against Japan. The author, who writes very well, was and remained in Intelligence for most of his career, and spent years trying to learn the reason why he and the Lanikai were sent on their odd mission. It wasn't until he reached flag rank that he at last gained access to the records he needed. Among other things, he learned that the Lanikai was the third small vessel to be sent on the same mission. The ostensible purpose was to sail from the Philippines to a position off the French Indochina coast, and monitor Japanese shipping. As a young intelligence officer, he already knew the Navy was running PBY's over the area for the same reason, and there was no way a surface vessel could provide anything the PBY's wouldn't see first.This was what turned out to be only a week or so before Pearl Harbor, which was attacked before they reached Indochina, and were recalled. The more salient documents of his research are included in the book. This book changes history, and nobody is looking. Get it.

Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Open-End Fund
See closed-end fund first.
Back? Okay.
An open-end fund is your typical vanilla mutual fund. It owns hundreds of securities and maybe millions of shares in 'em. Each day, the prices of those securities change and close at a given value. At that value, the fund then prices itself with a Net Asset Value (the total value of the securities prices, times the number of shares of each that the fund owns, divided by the number of shares outstanding that are owned by investors in the mutual fund). An open-end fund must buy and sell shares in the fund at each day's NAV. Since NAV isn't determined until the end of the day, an open end fund will have no transactions in its shares during a trading day.

We applaud efforts to raise awareness about abuse of the elderly and encourage everyone to learn the signs and know what to do about it.
Local aging officials say cases of elder abuse, neglect and financial exploitation are on the rise. They want everyone to wear purple on June 13 to draw attention to the issue. More importantly, they want people to watch for signs that the elderly in their lives could be victims.
Some signs to watch for include:
- Unexplained or inadequately explained bruises, scars, welts or cuts.
- An elder's signature on property transfers they don't remember or can't explain.
- Excessive gifts
- A cluttered, or dirty, home.
- A lack of food or affordable amentities in the elder's home.
- Withdrawal behavior
Officials stress that any concern should be reported. People can do so by contacting the Washington County Department of Job and Family Services Adult Protection Service. The name of the person reporting abuse is confidential.
Locally, about a dozen such complaints are being investigated at any one time. Unfortunately, the state affords too few funds to help investigate and alleviate the problem, providing the local department just $3,000 a year to help pay for its work.
Still, it's important friends, neighbors and loved ones speak up if they suspect abuse. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reported 16,000 allegations of elder abuse in 2013 and estimates that for every one case of abuse reported in the U.S., another 23 cases go unreported.
To report abuse call: 373-5513.

Acquired: Claimed by Detroit from Montreal in inter-league draft on June 4, 1957.
In 1953-54, Perreault joined the Quebec Hockey League's Montreal Royals before joining the QHL Shawinigan Cataractes the following year. In his first year with the Cataractes, Perreault captured QHL First Team All-Star honors and won the Vezina Memorial Trophy as top goaltender in the before making his NHL debut the following year.
Perreault spent the majority 1955-56 season in Shawinigan before being promoted to replace an injured Jacques Plante. In his first NHL game, Perreault shut out the Chicago Black Hawks (5-0) and played a total of six games with the Canadiens before he was sent back to Shawinigan where he was a QHL Second Team All-Star.
In 1956-57, Perreault split his season with Shawinigan and the AHL's Rochester Americans before being claimed by Detroit (Hershey-AHL) in the 1957 Inter-League Draft. Even though Detroit had claimed him, Perreault was assigned to the AHL's Hershey Bears where he was an AHL Second Team All-Star.
The better part of Perreault's 1958-59 season was spent in Hershey where he captured the 1959 Calder Cup and for a second consecutive season was an AHL Second Team All-Star. Perreault also captured the Hap Holmes Memorial Award (fewest goals against-AHL) and was promoted to Detroit to replace an injured Terry Sawchuk, playing in three games with Detroit before he was sent back to Hershey. In those three years, Perreault for a third time in his career was recognized as an AHL Second Team All-Star.
Prior to the 1962-63 season, the Detroit Red Wings traded Perreault to the Boston Bruins where he played in a career high 22 games before being traded in the off-season to the Western Hockey League's San Francisco Seals. Perreault spent two seasons with the Seals before being claimed by Toronto (Victoria-WHL) from Boston in the 1965 reverse draft.
From 1965-66 to 1968-69 Perreault was a member of the Rochester Americans where he was for a fourth time an AHL Second Team All-Star in 1968 and for a second time the recipient of the Hap Holmes Memorial Award. Perreault had his rights transferred to Vancouver of the WHL after the WHL club purchased the Rochester franchise prior to the 1968-69 season.
Perreault joined the IHL's Des Moines Oak Leafs in 1969-70 where he shared the James Norris Memorial Trophy (fewest goals against-IHL) and spent the next three seasons with the Oak Leafs before being selected by World Hockey Association's Los Angeles Sharks in the 1972 WHA general player draft.
After only one season in Los Angeles, Perreault joined the Southern Hockey League's Greensboro Generals in 1973-74 where he ended his playing career. Throughout his NHL career, Bob Perreault played in 31 games.

Pickles: 'Labour councils keeping tenants in dark on Right-to-Buy'
Published by 24publishing for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government, Communities, Local Government
Pickles reveals 'fair deal' plans for travellers 'who play by the rules'
Communities secretary Eric Pickles says Labour councils are keeping their tenants in the dark about the reinvigorated Right-to-Buy scheme offering discounts of up to £75,000 to social tenants wishing to buy their homes.
Speaking at the Conservative Party conference, Mr Pickles said that there is "nothing more fundamental than supporting home ownership", but that Labour council leaders have been fighting tooth and nail against the policy.
The new discounts - which came into effect in April - are made available to two million council tenants and another 500,000 housing association tenants with the 'Preserved Right-to-Buy'. The Government is using the proceeds to replace each home sold through the programme.
Mr Pickles said: "The-Right-to-Buy gives something back to families who worked hard, pay their rent and play by the rules. Across the country, Margaret Thatcher's Right-to-Buy has given people a sense of pride and ownership in where they live.
"Sadly, many Labour councils are keeping their tenants in the dark about these new extended rights. Their council leaders have pledged to fight tooth and nail against the Right-to-Buy.
"A right can only be exercised if you know about it. So I can pledge my department will be talking direct to tenants to inform them of their Right to Buy. It's a great policy to campaign on for May's local elections. We should tell every tenant in every council estate - that we're on their side."
He said the Government was also "tackling discrimination against the armed forces".
He said: "Amazingly foreign migrants have been given greater priority on housing waiting lists than those who fought for Queen and Country. So we have changed the rules to give armed forces first priority for our first-time buyer and shared ownership schemes.
"And we have given councils new freedoms to allocate social housing to those who have worked hard and given something back to society from the armed forces to community volunteers."

USA, 2013, 105 Minute Running Time
NOW PLAYING at the Sie FilmCenter
In We Are What We Are, a seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Bill Sage, BOARDWALK EMPIRE) rules his family with a rigorous fervor, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris (Ambyr Childers, The Master) and Rose (Julia Garner, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For) are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. As the unrelenting downpour continues to flood their small town, the local authorities begin to uncover clues that bring them closer to the secret that the Parkers have held closely for so many years.
We Are What We Are also stars Michael Parks (Django Unchained), Golden Globe Nominee Kelly McGillis (Witness), Nick Damici (Stakeland), Wyatt Russell (This Is 40) and newcomer Jack Gore. We Are What We Are was written by Mickle and Damici. The two previously collaborated on the screenplays for Mickle's first two features, Mulberry Street and Stakeland (winner of the Midnight Madness Audience Award at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival).

By David Pan Enterprise sports editor
The Meadowdale football team definitely had a lot of work to do this summer.
Graduation took a heavy toll on the Mavericks as the team lost several key components from last year's state playoff team. Gone are quarterback Danny McDonald, running backs Naji Moore-Taylor and Sam Werner and tight end Connor Hamlett. The latter is taking his football skills to Oregon State University.
Meadowdale has changes not only on the field but on the sidelines as head coach Mark Stewart, who previously handled the offensive coordinator duties, is shifting those responsibilities to assistant coach Eric Marty, a former Mav quarterback. Marty worked with the tight ends and wide receivers last season and also was up in the booth, where he often conferred with Stewart on offensive matters.
"I'm really excited about this opportunity," said Marty, who recently returned from Europe after leading the Danube Dragons to a victory in the Austrian Bowl. (See related story)
Stewart still will have plenty of input on offense but will have more time to spend on defense.
"He's certainly capable," Stewart said of Marty. "Wherever he goes, he seems to win. … We're fortunate to have him. He'll bring a different approach to the game."
Marty spent a good part of the summer playing for Danube but returned home in July and joined the Mavericks at team camp in Wenatchee.
"This year we're losing a lot of explosiveness," Marty said. "We have a lot of big-time athletes we're going to need to replace."
Last year's backup quarterback Nathan Ball moves into the starting role.
"He has a similar skill set to Danny," Marty said. "He's going to surprise a lot of people running around and throwing the ball."
Ball saw some action last year but it generally was late in the game. Stewart liked what he saw from the senior-to-be quarterback at camp.
"I think we'll be pretty solid on offense," Stewart said. "He did a great job at quarterback. … He's got the leadership to be a pretty good quarterback. He's been waiting his turn. He's working hard to have a great senior year."
While Moore-Taylor handled the bulk of the carries in the backfield, it's likely the workload is going to be spread out this fall. Stewart sees the running game as being more by committee at this point.
"We've got four or five guys we're looking at," Stewart said.
Two strong candidates are Kyle Gage and Michael Dever, both of who will be seniors in the fall, and junior-to-be Tyler Morehouse. Receivers include senior-to-be standouts Kegan Larsen and Anders Peterson.
While the skill positions may need some time to develop, Marty expects the offensive line to be strong.
"We may be better up-front line-wise," he said.
Returning linemen include sophomore-to-be Nathan Cloud-Rouzan, junior-to-be Tanner Davenport-Thuet and senior-to-be Adam Bjodstrup.
"We've got experience there," Stewart said.
Stewart also likes the talent on the defensive side, including juniors-to-be Kyle Newsome and Jacob Grund.
"I think we're going to be fine," Stewart said of the upcoming season. "We've got to keep working. We're not there yet. I think we've figured out the direction we need to go."

|"Eutoxeres Aquila" An original John Gould Hummingbird lithograph published in 1861 Beautifully hand colored with watercolor and added iridesence. Hallmandel and Walto printers London in good antique condition some age toning and light foxing. Slightly trimmed measuring approx. 14 x 21 overall size. A fine example of this important work one of the finest images. A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Humming-Birds Written by John Gould Published by John Gould (London, England) 5 volumes and supplement, 1861-1887 John Gould (1804-1881) was a British ornithologist, artist, and successful businessman. Sometimes referred to as the "English Audubon," Gould had an illustrious career in which he served as official taxidermist to King George IV and established himself as Queen Victoria's favorite illustrator of birds. Gould was so devoted to the study of birds that he asked for his epitaph to read: "Here lies John Gould, the Bird Man." Though he chronicled a wide variety of bird species, from partridges to toucans, spanning all corners of the globe from Great Britain to Australia, Gould had a particular interest in hummingbirds. He developed a personal collection of 1500 mounted and 3000 unmounted specimens, containing at least 300 different species of hummingbird. A Monograph of the Trochilidae represents Gould's stunning effort to create a comprehensive guide to all the varieties of hummingbird with a high degree of accuracy, detail, and beauty.Gould's five volumes on the hummingbird contain 360 hand-colored lithographic illustrations. Gould would draw rough pencil or watercolor sketches of hummingbird specimens, which then served as guides for a team of artists (including his wife, Elizabeth). Gould also worked with lithographers, who used pure gold and silver leaf (applied underneath the watercolor) to achieve a lifelike illustration of the hummingbird's iridescent feathers.

LIVERMORE -- It was a party fit for a world-famous incandescent light bulb.
Live music, balloons, ice cream, heritage costumes, firetrucks, speeches and at least a half-dozen birthday cakes commemorated the 110th year of illumination of Livermore's renowned "Centennial Light," thought to be the oldest continually running electric bulb on the planet.
Organizers of the hometown gathering -- held Saturday at the light's longtime residence at Fire Station No. 6 in Livermore -- said it was as much a tribute to the human qualities of service, loyalty, hard work and quiet perseverance that the bulb has come to represent.
"We all understand how fragile and ephemeral a light bulb is, and yet throughout our lives we're looking for something that is constant and dependable," said Vice Mayor John Marchand. "You will not find anyone more dependable than the (firefighters) who have served under that light bulb."
A large banner with a timeline illustrated the historic events that have unfolded under the bulb's watchful glow, from the Wright brothers' first flight, in 1903, to the opening of Disneyland, in 1955, to the falling of the Berlin Wall, in 1989.
Manufactured by the Shelby Electric Company in the late 1800s, the light and its mysterious longevity remain objects of fascination. It is monitored 24/7 by webcam, and its website, www.centennialbulb.org, has followers from every continent except Antarctica. It has been featured in documentaries and is the subject of two children's books.
As the story goes, Livermore Power and Light Company owner Dennis Bernal donated the bulb to the Fire Department in 1901, a time when there were just one or two electric bulbs in all of Livermore and the modern convenience would have been welcomed by the city's volunteer "fire boys," as they were then called. Residents recalled first seeing it lit in the department's hose cart on L Street. Shortly after, it was moved to the new Station No. 1 on First and McLeod and eventually to its site on East Avenue. It has only been turned off a few times over the decades.
Still, it wasn't until 1971, when a local journalist began researching the history of the bulb, that its age became apparent. Before then, the fixture -- which now hangs from the firehouse rafters, safely out of reach and over a little shrine complete with guest book and framed letters of recognition -- received little reverence, said retired Deputy Fire Chief Tom Bramell.
"We used to hit it on the way out of the firehouse for good luck," Bramell said.
Like the firefighters who have served the community since the days of horse-drawn buggies, the bulb has been a steady presence -- at times a much-needed light in the dark, he said.
"I know there will be day when this will probably come to an end, as everything does," Bramell said of the bulb's unwavering orange-red shine. "But I also know this bulb and the service it has provided for so long is timeless. The light bulb is so amazing; it brings people together from all over the world."
Contact Jeanine Benca at 925-847-2125.
The 110-year-old bulb "brings people together from all over the world," says Tom Bramell, a retired Livermore deputy fire chief. The light has inspired children's books and a website.

It's a big week on and off the course.
There's a lot of money trading hands along Washington Road.
News 12's Stephanie Baker took a look at all there is along that busy strip.
Washington Road is a business opportunity for many out here this week. It seems like everywhere you look there's someone selling something, from water bottles to lawn chairs. And officers say that's okay as long as people follow the rules.
Thousands of people looking to spend, all in one place.
It's a strong economy for young entrepreneurs.
"We're like okay, what the heck, we'll make flyers," said Parker Rhodes, who is offering parking for a small fee. "We got a lot of business."
Another interesting sale: Walter Deandretti is selling badge holders and lawn chairs.
"It's a necessity that people need...and a great way to make money," he said.
Terry Branch is selling water bottles on the side of the road.
"I'm making more here than I do at my job," he said.
Technically they need a license to sell...but officers say they're focusing on crowd control and ticket sales.
Another big money maker is the resale of Masters badges...but it's only legal 1500 feet away from the course.
It's also a big week for business owners. Many say they double or even triple their business this week.
"It's insane, there's no telling how many thousands of people who walk through here," said Russell Wilder, owner of Top Shelf Cigars.
Improving business or starting a new one...the Washington Road economy is going strong.
The law for selling tickets at an increased price is 1500 feet, but officers say people can sell at 500 feet as long as they don't cause any problems.
The district attorney's office says reselling tickets at face value is legal anywhere, and the maximum penalty for selling merchandise without a license is under $1000.

Alternative discipline strategies are needed
As the school year begins, parents, teachers and students have a lot at stake. We all have a role to play in supporting schools and keeping our neighborhoods safe.
As members of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, we recently released a research report, "Classmates not Cellmates," which shows that students kept out of the classroom too often find their way into the criminal justice systems.
The report shows that more than 700,000 out-of-school suspensions were issued in California during the 2010-2011 school year; over half were for relatively minor nonviolent, non-drug-related incidents.
Research shows that middle and high school students with one or more suspensions/expulsions for misbehavior were twice as likely to be held back a grade and almost three times as likely to have had contact with the juvenile justice system within one year.
Alternative disciplinary strategies have been proven to improve student behavior and academic outcomes, while maximizing classroom instruction. We applaud administrators and teachers who, even in tough budget times, are holding students accountable for behavior while keeping them in school.
We urge policymakers to support these efforts to help keep more of our young people in school and on track toward graduation.

We need to depend only on ourselves
Regarding the Sept. 16 article, "Gas prices bow to no one:"
I remember when George W. Bush was president, most of the media and newspapers always blamed Bush for the gas prices escalating. Now that President Barack Obama is in office and prices are escalating, the media say no president is responsible for high gas prices.
Obama's green energy is not working. We're not there yet. What we should be doing is drilling for oil. We don't have to depend on foreign oil at all.
We don't have to depend on any country for anything.
We take care of ourselves, instead of taking care of everybody else. I want my tax dollars staying in this country. Those Mideast countries can't stand us. We shouldn't give them a dime.
Cathy Ledbetter
Must get the dream back in my America
The America I grew up in is gone. However, the National GOP Convention gave a prelude to the America where I flourished. America is the story of opportunity, dreams, hard work, success, pride, respect and strong faith in a creator and each other.
My America is not President Barack Obama's America, where there are no jobs, no opportunities, little hope and no problem-solving. There are only empty promises and drowning debt. My America believes people can achieve much if given the opportunity to have a job. But where are the opportunities? Where are the jobs?
We do not need the government dole; we need jobs. With a job comes dignity, self-respect, self-confidence and the belief that one can accomplish and achieve whatever they dream.
A government subsidy is not a job or hope or opportunity. It is existence and nothing more. Let's get back to the dream, to a hope-filled revitalized America before it's too late.
Edna Pucci
Obama has run a dirty campaign with attacks
From the 2008 positive campaign of "hope" and "change," President Barack Obama has descended into a negative campaign of attack and smear in 2012.
The Obama campaign attack advertising started in May, against Mitt Romney and Bain Capital, causing longtime Obama ally and campaign surrogate, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, to deplore as "nauseating" the negative campaign against private equity financing.
But the negative attacks on Romney and Bain, coming from a White House-connected super PAC, have continued and intensified.
They've run a series of ads awarded "four Pinocchios" by the Washington Post's fact checker -- its worst rating for truthfulness. The most egregious ad was an attempt to link Romney's tenure at Bain (ending in 1999) with a steelworker's wife's death from cancer in 2006, without any plausible connection.
On Obama's behalf, Sen. Harry Reid made a Joe McCarthy-like unsupported slander that Romney didn't pay any income taxes for 10 years, based on a "source" he won't identify.
Then, there's Vice President Biden telling a largely black audience Romney wants "to put y'all back in chains."
I can't recall a dirtier campaign than Obama's re-election.

Occupy Judaism leads Rosh Hashanah demonstration
A group of Jewish activists from New York organised a demonstration to promote "social and economic justice" over Rosh Hashanah.
Occupy Judaism brought hundreds of people to Zuccotti Park in New York last Sunday evening.
Daniel Sieradski, the founder of Occupy Judaism, explained that many members of the group attended last year's Occupy Wall Street protest, which drew more than 1,000 people to a Kol Nidre service.
"Occupy Wall Street is a protest and social justice movement made up of different parts. It is active in protesting against policy, trying to change policy and creating alternatives to existing policy, all working towards a more economically just society," Mr Sieradski explained.
"The purpose is trying to address the exploitation of the working class by the financial industry and the participation of the government in that exploitation, the corruption of the banking world and Wall Street.
"Occupy Judaism organises Jewish rituals in order to bring together Jewish communities to celebrate social justice values in the Jewish tradition."
Mr Sieradski added that Occupy Judaism held a New Year service to communicate an "authentic Jewish perspective on issues of social and economic justice.
"We hope to impart these values to participants so that they take them back into their lives and work as activists. These are genuine social justice values of a liberal American Jewry," he said.
The event was sponsored by Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and Jewish Voice for Peace.

Youth soccer coach allegedly punched player
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. A youth soccer coach in Ventura County has been arrested on suspicion of punching a 16-year-old player during a fight after a game.
The Los Angeles Times (lat.ms/14FEH) says 47-year-old Bart Allen was arrested Monday on suspicion of battery and corporal injury to a child.
Simi Valley police say a shoving match broke out Monday evening following a game between teams from the Conejo (Koh-NAYE'-hoh) and Antelope valleys.
Police say witnesses reported that the Conejo Valley coach ran onto the field and began throwing punches. Police say a 16-year-old Antelope Valley player received a significant injury to his nose and cheek.
Police say Allen acknowledged throwing punches but denied hitting any players.

Over-Preemption of State Vacatur Law: State Courts and the FAA
Jill Gross
Pace Law School
Journal of American Arbitration, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2004
This article explores the issue of whether the Federal Arbitration Act or state arbitration law applies to a motion to vacate. After examining inconsistent application of state standards to motions to vacate arbitration awards both among various states and within several states, the article finds that states do not apply properly the Supreme Court's FAA preemption jurisprudence. The article concludes that too many state courts apply the FAA in circumstances in which their own state's arbitration law should apply instead, leading to what I call over-preemption - an unnecessary expansion of the FAA into state law matters.

What Disney World's EPCOT Center Can Teach You About WebRTC
Twilio Developer Evangelist, Greg Baugues learned a lot from his visit to Disney World. First off, the EPCOT center stands for "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow." Secondly, they have to update the EPCOT center yearly to make sure Disney's view of the future is current. Finally, software is the force that's changing our view of the future. To quote Marc Andreessen, "software is eating the world" and WebRTC is helping drive that software-centric world by enabling new ways to communicate.

Type of Physician: Surgeon
What is a Surgeon? A certification by the Board of Surgery; practitioners manage a wide range of surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body.

Norland gets it together on all fronts
admin | 5/10/2012, 5:35 a.m.
You have to give it to the leadership at Miami Norland Senior High School. They seem to have the Midas Touch turning everything they touch into gold. After snagging state titles in football and boys basketball, and nearly taking the girls basketball state title, they just brought home another trophy the state title for girls track and field. But thats not all. It gets even better. Last weekend, Norlands music department achieved superior ratings by their concert and jazz bands a feat that no other Miami-Dade County Public School was able to equal. In fact, Norland has been bringing superior ratings back to its humble halls for the past 15 years. And thats for a school that once faced significant behavior problems and abysmally low FCAT scores. The community surrounding Norland showed up recently for a parade to salute their students and their athletic achievements. Now, the students have even more of which they can be proud. Theres nothing better than seeing our children smile because they have done the unthinkable and snagged that which only few can capture state titles and other top honors. As the school year winds down, we felt it was only fitting that we take time to salute the outstanding efforts of the principal, faculty, administration, parents and of course, the students that represent Miami Norland High. Way to go!!!

2012 Annual Report
DNA extraction and labeling: Genomic DNA will be isolated from the putative diploid progenitor species of the allopolyploids as determined by results from Spooner's DNA phylogenetic studies using young leaves of greenhouse-grown plants. The GISH technique will be done according to published protocols with minor modifications. DNA will be either labeled with DIG-UTP or Biotin-UTP by nick-translation (DIG- and Biotin-Nick Translation Mix, Roche, cat. No. 11745816910, cat. No. 11745824910).
Hybridization: Hybridization mix (40 'l per slide) for GISH will be prepared with differential labeled DNA from the putative parental species and included: sheared fish sperm DNA (20 µg), Probe DNA of one parent (100 ng), Probe DNA of the other parent (100 ng), 10% dextran sulfate, deionized formamide (50%). Hybridization will be performed over night at 37'C.
Detection: DIG-labeled DNA will be detected with rhodamine anti-DIG conjugate and biotin labeled probes detected with FITC conjugated avidin (Roche, cat. No. 11207750910, cat. No. 11975595910). 29 'l of blocking reagent (30 mg BSA solution in 999 'l 4x SSC) will be added to slides, followed by incubation for 30 min. at room temperature. The antibody solution composed of 1 'l Anti-DIG-rhodamine stock solution + 1 'l Avidin- fluorescein stock solution + 28 'l Detection buffer (DB: 0.1 g BSA dissolved in 9.9 ml 4 x SSC, pH=7.4) will be added to each slide; incubation for 45 min at 37'C. Slides will be washed three times in 4x SSC (pH=7,4) (5 min each) at 42'C. Chromosomes will be counterstained by 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) in Vectashield antifade solution (Vector Laboratories).
All images will be captured digitally using a SenSys CCD (charge coupled device) camera (Roper Scientific, Tucson, AZ) attached to an Olympus BX60 epifluorescence microscope. The CCD camera will be controlled using IPLab Spectrum v3.1 software (Signal Analytics, Vienna, VA) on a Macintosh computer.

Snowy Evening LbNA # 20659
|Placed Date
|Mar 2 2006
|Brown Deer, WI
|Found By
|Last Found
|Feb 12 2009
|Hike Distance
This box is an homage to one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
Enter the fenced woods at Noyes Park near Helenas curve.
Walking straight ahead on the main path, you will see a many-branched tree to your right, and a lagoon of some sort (its hard to tell precisely what it is under the snow) to your left.
In time, when the sound of traffic begins to accompany the sound of your boots crunching through the snow, you will come to a fork in the trail.
Take the path that leads past Dan, Kathy, Pat, and Dee.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
When you come to a fallen tree on the right side of the trail, its ends neatly cut, count out seven paces, and then pass Judy & Rob as you head towards the tree at 170º.
Behind the left side of the tree, find and follow a succession of logs leading in a southeasterly direction.
The end of the second long log will point you towards a large V. Approach the V, but follow the ditch to the right just before you reach it.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
Soon you will find yourself in a small clearing, and a large branch will block your path.
Walk around the branch to the right, and find the twin trees behind it.
Stand on the roots between the two trees, and then take a bearing of 180º. Walk in this direction until you come across a short stump.
Now look for an open mouth at 85º.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Please replace the box out of sight when you are through stamping.

What kind of cost are you looking at for a replacement barrel for a glock 19?
Also what kind of money could you sell a new unshot factory 19 barrel for?
Well, that is where it gets a teeny bit complicated!
Seeing as I live in Estonia, we need to factor in the export/import and carriage charges not to mentioin the exchange rate and any overheads for the shop getting the barrel for me.
Presently, the only barrel I have seen that would fit my needs (and I've only seen a handful) is the threaded, land and groove Lone Wolf barrel for a G19.
It was about €150, or approx €110. You'd have to add about $40 for carriage, so $190 total, then import tax at %20, so another $38 or so, and finally we'd need to consider any profits/cost covering for the shop doing the importing (A licenced firearms service provider must apply for the import licence for an "essential part" such as a barrel: I can't do it as a private citizen).
Sooo, as a rough guess, that would make a $150 barrel from Lone Wolf finally come to about $250/€190-ish.
As for the sale of a barrel, no idea: I am not sure if I could even sell it. I've never seen a barrel for sale in the private ads. There doesn't seem to be much of a market...
I would like that barrel, but I would really need to have justification.
When the right to
self-defence is denied, that right to self-defence which remains is essentially symbolic.
Freedom: Please enjoy responsibly.
Any idea that relies on murder for its survival in intrinsically weak.

We're trying to remember to be purposefully thankful this month so we made a Thankful Tree.
We started with a branch from the backyard.
Note: No living trees were harmed in the creation of this project.
Of course, I had to hit it with my favorite red spray paint…Krylon Banner Red. (It would have been fine au-naturale too. If you're ok with naked sticks in your house.)
Then we put it into my Jute Twine Vase. There's a piece of floral foam hot glued to the bottom. And some rocks for stability.
We'll use the little paper tags to write down things that we're thankful for throughout the month. This would be adorable if you have paper leaves to write on. But I was using what I had…paper tags. I'm hoping this will keep us in the habit of being grateful.
For the expected things…
For the sweet things…
For the things that bring tears to this mama's eyes…
For another great idea for encouraging intentional gratitude, check out this post that Robin at Pensieve wrote for (in)courage.
And if you missed our Make Your Home More Welcoming Challenge from this morning, scroll down or check it out here.

James from A Dark Horse sent me details of this beautiful song and great video. The reasoning of the video also is:
Basically it's the stand by me moment of our lives. We're all just gone 30. So it just fitted in with a song that is about walking your own path but remembering the past. (It's not a euro song as some have misunderstood, just a timing issue)
2500 people have subscribed to my website instead of coming back each day. You can subscribe to the site using a feedreader or email. I'm also on Twitter. My online marketing blog might also be worth a visit. Thanks for visiting - Damien.

Ben Jervey | March 14, 2013
By Ben Jervey • Thursday, March 14, 2013 - 11:28
Here's a term that bears repeating: climate disruption tax. What is a climate disruption tax? It's the cost to the American taxpayer of dealing with the impacts of climate-related weather events, as introduced by NRDC's Dan Lashof and Andy Stevenson.
The concept of a climate disruption tax is actually hugely important. Why? Because climate change is costing us more than trying to avoid climate change ever would, but unfortunately, this troubling little bit of economics is somehow constantly overlooked in the climate debates. We always hear about how much it will cost to transition away from fossil fuels and to slow deforestation. But the costs of inaction rarely stick in the discussion.
It's not for lack of research or knowledge, nor for lack of bloggers bringing it up. Over the past few years, a range of voices have weighed in with warnings from all across the socioeconomic and ideological spectra. If not quite first, but foremost, the master economist Sir Nicholas Stern sounded the alarm, only to recently double down on his dire predictions.
Then there are the massive insurers and even more massive reinsurers like Munich Re and Swiss Re. There are the , of course. There are NGOs and think tanks like DARA with a cold, hard economic calculus in their Climate Vulnerability Monitor. There are academics.There's the U.S. government itself warning of the severe costs of unmitigated climate change.
These studies and reports are written about, blogged, tweeted, and sometimes cited, but they haven't managed to nudge their way into the mainstream climate conversation. The costs often seem too far off, too theoretical–a problem for another time.
Which is why any clever new way of framing climate-related costs should be celebrated and spread far and why. Over on Switchboard, Lashof and Stevenson are onto something.
Say it with me again: Climate Disruption Tax.
Lashof and Stevenson take data from an AON Benfeld, Macroeconomic Advisors report on severe weather events (or climate related disasters) in 2012, and recalculate the costs to the U.S. economy as a tax rate.
In short: climate-related severe weather events cost Americans the equivalent of tacking an extra 3.9-percent sales tax across the nation.
That figure is a little misleading, though, as we know that some states and regions are more severely affected than others in any given year. Superstorm Sandy took a disproportionate toll on New York and New Jersey, and if you break down the climate disruption tax by state, those states each suffered an "effective climate tax rate" of around 25 percent. Ouch. Lashof and Stevenson:
As one would expect, the Climate Disruption Tax rates for New York and New Jersey were the highest in the country last year at around 25%. The next tier of states (Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado) may be a bit more surprising, however, as these states didn't suffer from one large event like Superstorm Sandy, but instead from a series of smaller events that cost roughly double what these states received in sales tax revenues… [unlike] sales tax revenues that are used by the state to fund nearly 30% of their budgets, the Climate Disruption Tax is a dead weight loss to our economy that helps no one.
Here's how it breaks down by state (click to see a larger version):
I'm going to borrow Lashof and Stevenson's obligatory disclaimer here:
We don't know what portion of these costs can be attributed to climate change, but we do know that smoking causes cancer and carbon pollution fuels more extreme weather.
Lashof and Stevenson get into a lot more details and run a lot more numbers on their original post, which you really should check out.
But the takeaway is that climate change is costing us real money, today, at a rate far higher than any proposed carbon tax or clean energy program would cost.
This climate disruption tax is real, and will only get more and more expensive the longer we put off the relatively small investments necessary to avoid the worst fates of climate change.
Wow... Climate Disruption Tax
That is a healthy way to look at it.
Is there any data like that for Canada? Worldwide?
For instance, lack of ICE roads in northern communities is making it impossible to transport goods, often resulting in the requirements to air lift in supplies. So I know there is a cost, but its hard relate to it.
In Canada we do have a Climate Change adaption policy which we are spending money on.
anderson.ruben replied on Permalink
I don't think it is quite working...
I like where this going, but I don't think it has got there yet.
Taxes are things that (generally) already exist and are imposed by the state. There is no frame for a Nature-imposed tax. There is no frame for a user-behaviour determined tax (a sales tax would be a stretch).
So a Climate Disruption Tax sounds like it is a new tax that is going to be added on to our bill, or our tax return.
Taxes themselves are suffering from right-wing frames right now, so the visceral reaction to this is bad–another tax being imposed by the jackbooted bean counters. Reframing should allow concepts to slide into people's minds.
I would guess the first task is to position the atmosphere as something real that we are using, and that has consequences and costs associated to that use. This has not been successfully done after decades of climate campaigning, but it is a critical cognitive piece. Framing in parallel to something like water might work–it comes from nature and people pay for it. The dump may be better, people are used to paying for garbage, either at the dump or in their City taxes. And many cities are giving the option of paying for a big or a small can, and buying extra tickets, so there is a pay-for-what-you-use aspect to the frame.
But how about maintenance. It costs money to maintain things, you need to vacuum and repaint…can the atmosphere maintenance fee be charged out? And if you don't maintain it, it is condemned…
Anyhow, we could work all day on this….

Ag Commissioner Todd Staples on immigration and border security
WASHINGTON — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples is weighing in on the national immigration debate. He's opposed to letting the nation's 11 million or so illegal immigrants become U.S. citizens, as the White House and some in Congress are proposing.
Staples' focus is updating the immigration system to make it far easier for agriculture and other industries to hire foreign workers, and for those workers to get work in the United States.
"The reason we have those undocumented here today is because of our dilapidated workforce program that drives people to a shadow economy. But our citizenship process is not the reason that we have everyone here," he said.
A candidate for lieutenant governor, Staples is publishing a book later this month titled "Broken Border, Broken Promises." He shrugged off the suggestion that, as politicians have been known to do, he's putting out a book to raise his profile and burnish his image.
"I wrote it to solve problems," he said. "I certainly would have taken an easier issue if it was to gain political points."
He's in Washington this week meeting with other state agriculture commissioners and took time to meet with federal lawmakers and aides. Between appointments he sat down for a chat at a Capitol cafeteria.
He dismisses out of hand the Obama administration's suggestions that the southern border is more secure than ever, and safe enough to move on to the next, contentious step in the immigration debate. (A bipartisan Senate plan uses border security as a trigger point, allowing illegal aliens to start the years-long process of attaining citizenship once security is certified.)
"The president's decision to draw down the National Guard troops weakened our nation and our border security," Staples aid. "We do not need to militarize the border but we need to use assets that are no longer going to be used in Afghanistan in Iraq, put those in the hands of law enforcement in Texas. Our local law enforcement and Texas law enforcement, they're just outmanned and not provided the technology they're needed, and Gov.
