CWT Assists with 933,000 Pounds of Cheese Export Sales
CWT Assists with 933,000 Pounds of Cheese Export Sales
Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) has accepted four requests for export assistance from Dairy Farmers of America, Northwest Dairy Association (Darigold) and Foremost Farms to sell 932,556 pounds (423 metric tons) of Cheddar cheese to customers in Asia and North Africa. The product will be delivered May through October 2013.
Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member cooperatives in selling 53.810 million pounds of cheese, 51.727 million pounds of butter, 44,092 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 218,258 pounds of whole milk powder to 31 countries on six continents. These sales are the equivalent of 1.626 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. That is more than USDA's projected increase in milk marketings for all of 2013.
Assisting CWT members through the Export Assistance program positively impacts producer milk prices in the short-term by helping to maintain inventories of cheese and butter at desirable levels. In the long-term, CWT's Export Assistance program helps member cooperatives gain and maintain market share, thus expanding the demand for U.S. dairy products and the farm milk that produces them.
CWT will pay export assistance to the bidders only when delivery of the product is verified by the submission of the required documentation.

I dont know where I heard this but there making a new dragon ball anime based totally around the evil characters and how they are realated some how dont count on me for this information cause I just heard it.......... so what would you think
My thought is that you are totally wrong, and next time you make a post you should actually see if the information is correct
I did and I didn't find anything and I'm not going through 80 pages of information probably on nothing and I posted this cause I thought is sounded cool and the good generus guy I am posting this to let you know even if it is fake it would still be cool"Lord please forgive us for the truspasses that we are about to commit!!" - Dead Leaves, #777
they're making dragon ball kai, which is a retelling of the manga. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dragon_Ball_Kai_episodes I will devour their hearts and crap out their souls. They will all taste oblivion....which tastes just like red bull...which is disgusting. -O'malley (RvB)
if they are thats awesome
I haven't heard anything about this, the information is probably wrong. dragon ball kai is in hd and has new openings and endings, however, it isn't all new animation. it is just the old anime cut down to show less filler.
DBZ Kai don't like it's just a re-vamped version of the orginal story with diffrent voice actors and not tthe original voice actors.I think you may be refering to the new movie Battle of the Gods released sometime 2013.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls man was arraigned Tuesday on an indictment accusing him of sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 11 on three occasions between the fall of 2010 and December 2011, Assistant District Attorney Robert A. Zucco said.
Brett A. King, 46, of 65th Street, pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree sexual abuse and was allowed to remain free on his own recognizance.
Zucco said several similar but unrelated charges against King in Niagara Falls are being dismissed. "He's been cooperating. I don't see the need for any bail," Zucco told County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Dozens of Saint Vincent College students will take a break from their normal routine on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 9 to join the Bearcat Light Brigade and help decorate the campus for Founders' Day on Thursday, November 17 and the Christmas holiday season.
The purpose of the volunteer group is to beautify the Melvin Platz garden area for the Christmas season with white icicle lights and the traditional arches. A new addition to the display this year will be a synchronized light display accompanied by Christmas music.
The Brigade work will begin at 12:30 p.m. and continue until their work is finished. All campus offices will be open and classes will meet as usual.
Groups of volunteers will be assigned to work at specific tasks including attaching lights to the arches and installing the arches and wiring them together. Volunteers will also work to string lights around the Robert S. Carey Student Center. No skill is required and no one will be asked to use any power tools. Volunteers will be given a Bearcat Light Brigade shirt for their efforts.
The campus decorating is a project of the Student Government Association that is coordinated by Taylor Guido, vice president of the SGA executive board and chairman of the activities committee.

A Dallas resident was recently honored with an award for his service with military veteran students at Kennesaw State University.
University officials presented Derek Ridings, 28, with the first Excellence in Service and Leadership Award from the KSU Presidential Commission on Veterans Affairs on April 22.
Ridings' award was among six given to students from presidential commissions representing such areas as disability strategies and racial dialogue, said Chief Diversity Officer Erik Malewski in an email.
"The nomination highlighted his commitment to helping veterans transition to college and ensuring they receive the support they need to progress toward graduation," Malewski said.
Ridings, an Army veteran, was raised in Cobb County and graduated from McEachern High School in 2002.
After graduation Ridings served as a military policeman in the Army. While enlisted he did three tours in Iraq totaling 38 months before leaving the military in 2008.
He started classes at Kennesaw in 2010 and is a history major planning to graduate in December, he said.
Ridings is in his third semester working at the university's Veterans Resource Center.
"I probably put most time into advocating [for veterans]," Ridings said.
He has served as a student government senator for student veterans. His work helps represent the needs of the soldiers as they transition from active duty to college students. "They are two very different activities," he said.
Ridings said one of his most important jobs is helping veteran students receive their money from the federal government to pay for school, Ridings said.
"We ran into some delays with financial aid," he said.
This created a problem on what the veterans were able to afford, he said.
"Going to school on a GI Bill [federal benefits for veterans' service] is not supposed to be a hardship," Ridings said. He said his work advocating for veterans on the student government led to the award.
Ridings said he is humbled by winning the award, and being able to be the face for those helping veterans.
Malewski said, "It is the effort of individuals like Mr. Ridings that makes possible our recognition as a veteran-friendly campus."

Ashlee Simpson spent some quality time with Vincent Piazza after the Emmy Awards – and she met his parents! The singer-actress and her Boardwalk Empire actor beau held court at HBO's bash at the Plaza at Pacific Design Center, where they ate dinner together. When they weren't chatting with Piazza's parents, the two held hands and stole kisses throughout the night.
Another sweet couple at the HBO soiree: Heidi Klum and Seal, who were late arrivals at the bash. The two hung out by the bar, and as Klum finished her cocktail, Seal came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her on the cheek.
Comfort was key at Jimmy Fallon's bash, where the Late Night host had a "make your own" Havaianas station set up so guests could change out of their heels and wear flip-flops instead. Drew Barrymore, Emily Blunt and Kristin Wiig all made their own pairs, while Tina Fey and Amy Poehler sat on a banquette inside Trousdale, laughing and whispering together. Meanwhile, the host got busy on the dancefloor, doing the robot to Michael Jackson's "Beat It."
Lea Michele and her Glee costars Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer and more – took in the scene at Fox and FX's post-Emmy bash at Fig & Olive in West Hollywood. Guests – such as first-time Emmy winner Margo Martindale and Modern Family's Ty Burrell and Jesse Tyler Ferguson – filled the restaurant and a massive tent next door and nibbled on Mediterranean-inspired food such as filet mignon, ratatouille, asparagus in olive oil, seafood paella and goat cheese gnocchi.
Joe Manganiello has a new number one woman in his life. After reports that the True Blood stud has split from fianée Audra Marie, he arrived at the HBO Luxury Lounge gifting suite at the Four Seasons and notably brought his brother as his guest. When offered a pair of Michael Antonio sky-high heels to take home "for the special lady in his life," says one guest, Manganiello didn't hesitate to respond that he'd take a pair but made it clear: "These are for my mom."

Cory Monteith: Why Didn't Rehab Work?
When the Glee star died at 31 of a toxic mix of heroin and alcohol, he was just two months out of treatment for substance abuse. Post-rehab, the actor looked healthy and happy, attending a hockey game with his girlfriend, Lea Michele, dining out with friends and attending a photo call for the next season of his FOX hit.
But addiction experts say that the immediate period after rehab is one of tremendous vulnerability.
"Newly sober people are more fragile than before they became addicts," says Bob Forrest, a California-based certified drug and alcohol counselor.
"They are raw, reactionary, insecure, resentful and need to be loved and supported," says Forrest, who has appeared as an expert on Celebrity Rehab and is the author of an upcoming memoir on addiction, Running with Monsters.
But often that isn't enough. Many other Hollywood stars, including Robert Downey Jr., David Arquette and Ozzy Osbourne, have been open about their past experiences trapped in the cycle of rehab-relapse-repeat.
"Addiction is a disease," says actress Kristen Johnston, who shared her battle with drugs and alcohol in a 2012 memoir, Guts.
"And like cancer, some die, some don't," she says. "I have no idea why I'm alive and Cory Monteith and hundreds of thousands of others die. I do think many addicts blame themselves and have such profound shame that they 'lack the willpower' to stop. But quitting has nothing to do with willpower or fortitude. If it did, I wouldn't have been an addict in the first place."
Transitions DifficultSources confirm that Monteith spent time at both California's Betty Ford Center and Crossroads Centre on the Caribbean Island of Antigua. But experts emphasize that rehab is merely the beginning of recovery, followed by the critical transition from in-patient treatment to sober living.
"When you consult no one and you are a couple months sober trying to figure out how to live life without heroin or alcohol or pills, it can get almost impossible some days," says Forrest.
At Betty Ford Center, counselors now recommend 90 days of rehab versus the previous 30-day standard to ensure that patients have enough time to prepare "a sober life plan," says spokesman Russ Patrick.
"A crucial episode in the alcoholic's life is transitioning from full-blown alcoholism to treatment and then transitioning to long-term living sober," says Patrick. "You literally leave with your architecture for a new life."
Support Groups VitalFor those just beginning a new life, addiction counselors say ongoing support groups and sober living facilities – in which recovering addicts live together in a drug-and-alcohol-free environment – are both key.
"Most people have a problem and they go, '[I'll do] 30 days at a treatment center, and then they leave and get back to their life,'" says actor Matthew Perry, who shared his own addiction battle in a recent PEOPLE cover story. "And they start to get uncomfortable, and then they get so uncomfortable they say the only thing that will fix this is the drug I was taking before: 'I gotta do that again because it's the only thing that will fix it.' That's why support groups are so important."
Likewise, sober living houses can aid a patient's recovery by providing a supportive environment that encourages healthy practices.
"It's very wise to then transition to a sober living house," says Perry, who transformed his Malibu beach house into a men's sober living facility. With daily curfews and meditation sessions, along with regular check-ins and drug tests, "it's a really good buffer" between rehab and the real world, says Perry.
Ultimately, the key to lasting sobriety "is having a sobriety life plan in place – short term and long term," says Patrick. "Those first 90 days away from the facility are key."
Adds Joe Schrank, who runs several sober-living facilities in New York City: "Rehab is theory, but the rubber hits the road in the world. Coming back into the world and the life that was very recently spinning out of control requires a comprehensive plan."
Reporting by CHARLOTTE TRIGGS, HOWARD BREUER and EMILY STROHM
Fans of Monteith's may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

STATELINE, Nev. - I get a text from Rocky LaPorte if he can check in up here a day early and said, "Sure, let me email Linda and you're set, my man."
This week's Improv headliner said he normally wouldn't have asked but since leaving Chicago on his Harley last week to do gigs in Nebraska and Wyoming before getting here, thought he might arrive a day early.
Riding a bike from Chicago to Tahoe? Rocky, you should have asked for two days early because it's gonna take you that long just to unwind from all that road rumble! That's unbelievable. I think Rocky will be funnier than usual knowing he can just stay in one place for a whole week.
Originally from Chicago, Rocky has been going non-stop these first six months of the year, and judging by his upcoming schedule probably won't be slowing down anytime soon. Probably why we booked him back already in the winter just so we could have him locked in before others snatched him up.
Just last weekend I had a couple ask when Rocky would be appearing up here. They are planning their vacation around seeing a comic! Wow. Then again, not just any comic, but Rocky.
It shouldn't surprise anybody, then, that the first time Rocky appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" he received a standing ovation. A comic (who shall remain anonymous) said after his appearance on Leno, "You'll never see Rocky on 'The Tonight Show' again after upstaging Jay." He's probably right. C'mon, Letterman!
Rocky has fans from all walks of life. In fact, comedian-actor Tim Allen's daughter told her dad that Rocky was her favorite comic. That is funny. Unlike Leno, Tim Allen cast Rocky in several of his movies, including the Disney remake of "The Shaggy Dog" and Tim's movie "Crazy On the Outside." Rocky was also part of the ensemble comedy special "The Godfathers of Comedy" that aired on Showtime earlier this year. Not bad for a guy who used to be a truck driver on Chicago's South Side.
Rocky started out doing open mic nights around the Chicago area, eventually entering himself into comedy competitions and started garnering quite a following, not just in Chicago but outside Illinois, as other comics started talking about this new guy everyone should check out. After winning The Johnnie Walker National Comedy Competition (beating out more than 1,100 contestants in 10 cities) "Rock" started making television appearances on "Cheers," "Pat Sajak" and "Comic Strip Live" before getting a shot at his own pilot on CBS called "The Rocky Laporte Show," which you can see on YouTube. At the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, Rocky was awarded Best Male Club Comedian of the Year, presented by George Wallace and Andy Kindler.
I remember, in a poll taken from comedy clubs around the country (including ours here in Tahoe), Rocky was voted as one of their favorites as best club comic. When not headlining clubs and theaters around the country, he's been asked to be the opener for such great acts as Louie Anderson, Garry Shandling, Drew Carey, Hootie and the Blowfish and the Righteous Brothers.
When not on the road, Rocky tries to perform as many fundraisers as he can, and has several that he always makes time for. Those would include St. Jude's for Children, various NFL charities, benefits for the homeless, cancer research and police and fire department fundraisers (his brother is a Chicago cop). Of all his credits, though, Rocky says that performing overseas for the troops is one of his greatest experiences. He's made several trips entertaining in a war zone and plans on returning as long as we're fighting a war overseas.
Rocky's personal, greatest achievement was being voted one of the funniest guys in his class at a recent G.E.D. reunion.
I believe this marks the third time that both Ron Morey and Rocky have worked together up here. Why? Well, Rocky is laid-back and has an understated undertone to his delivery, whereas Ron is the complete polar opposite.
Batteries tend to get charged up by Ron when he's working the room. He has this rapid-fire delivery that takes no prisoners. Ron has this energetic aura about him that carries out into the audience, and you find yourself laughing at him (with him, I mean) even before he's launched into whatever routine he's gearing up for.
His style (and act) is very unique, earning him a nomination to the list of the top five comics in the country by The Entertainment Business Journal.
Ron is one of those guys who keeps you in stitches off the stage as well as on. In fact (I hope he reads this article), he will kick into these incredible impersonations of Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. Ron, please incorporate some of your voices into your show, OK?
He does, however, do a very funny impersonation of a trombone player and how they never seem to get the babes, always losing out to the singers and guitarists.
The last time Morey was here, several prominent trombonists from the San Francisco, Cleveland and San Diego Symphony made a road trip to see Ron. Now that is one hell of a testimonial, folks.
Ron also is a regular at the Improvs in Hollywood and Las Vegas, and has opened for such diverse acts as George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Ellen DeGeneres, and D. L. Hughley.
Ron, too, has performed overseas working for the USO in places such as Italy, Greece, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait and Germany. On television Ron has been on NFL Films, PBS, A&E and even on Snoop Dogg's MTV show, "DoggyFizzle Televizzle." Snoop could not have found a "whiter" guy than Morey, and Ron played it to the hilt.
Ron is worth the ticket price alone (unless you win a pair on my radio show when they're both on), but having Rocky on the same bill only makes it that much sweeter.
Rocky and Ron (sounds like a buddy flick) together again. What a show!

The talk show host addressed rumors about their five-year marriage during a hilarious monologue on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday, that began with a trip to the hair salon.
"The other day I'm at the hair salon getting these extensions," DeGeneres joked. "And there's tabloids all over the hair salon – that's where they are, I guess. All of a sudden I notice one sitting on the counter in front of me [and] it caught my eye because Portia and I were in the top right-hand corner and I thought, 'Oh, that's sweet, they're honoring us.' "
"And then I read the headline underneath and it said 'Ellen and Portia's Marriage Crumbles.' I was like, 'Oh, what happened? They seemed so happy," DeGeneres joked.
The 55-year-old said that while she never reads tabloids because "I don't like letting that energy in," curiosity got the better of her.
"So I get the magazine and I'm flipping through it and there's one page torn out," she said. "The only page torn out was my story ... I will never know what's tearing my marriage apart."
DeGeneres then took a moment to shoot down the rumors and set the record straight. "It's so ridiculous to me," she said, adding that there's no trouble in paradise.
"There's not one ounce of truth to any of it," she said. "I am very happily married. The only thing we ever argue about is who loves who more, it really is true. And ... we argue if we would let a kangaroo carry us in a pouch for a year."
DeGeneres ended by telling her fans that she'll always be honest with them about what's going on in her life. "If there's anything you need to know," she said, "I will announce it here first."

When foreign hackers steal trade secrets, US loses high paying jobs. Losses range up to $400 bil from cyber economic espionage #CISPA

When foreign hackers steal trade secrets, US loses high paying jobs. Losses range up to $400 bil from cyber economic espionage #CISPA
Source: House of Representatives
quote: No matter who US politicians claim to be, all of them exhibit two powerful but conflicting tendencies: to bureaucratize and to privatize.The bureaucratizers among them wants to grow public bureaucracies, creating political machines and systems of patronage, and providing ample scope for pork barrel politics. The privatizers among them want to dismantle public institutions and privatize everything under the sun in order to shrink the public realm and to enhance the concentration of private wealth.These two imperatives are at odds, not for any ideological reason, but simply because there is an inevitable tug of war between them: big public bureaucracies expand the public realm, but privatizing the public realm shrinks it.All American politicians find it in their interest to both expand government and to privatize its functions.When the US economy is growing nicely, the two factions find that their wishes are granted, and they go merrily along enlarging federal and local bureaucracies while assisting in the concentration of wealth, making everyone they care about happy—everyone except the population, which is being steadily driven into bankruptcy and destitution, but that's just a problem of perception, easily remedied by an army of political consultants come election time.This public-private feeding frenzy is called "bipartisanship." When the economy isn't growing, the two factions are forced to square off against each other in what amounts to a zero-sum game. This is called "gridlock."
quote: Who they are going to vote for doesn't matter: without exception they are going to vote for an American politician: a lawyer or a businessman, someone belongs to one of a few available political categories, all of them misnomers designed to confuse the public.There are those who call themselves conservatives, and who are in fact not conservatives at all but free market liberals.There are those who call themselves libertarians, but who either are not libertarians at all, or have somehow forgotten their anarchist-socialist roots, and who are in fact also free market liberals.Then there are the "liberals," who are also free market liberals but aspire to being nice, whereas the rest of the free market liberals are nasty.But nobody here wants to be called a "liberal," because in this topsy-turvy political universe it has become little more than a term of abuse.It takes a long time to explain this nonsense to visitors from abroad, and when you round out the explanation by saying that these distinctions don't actually matter—because no matter what these politicians call themselves they are all state-capitalists who have been exhibiting quite a few fascist tendencies of late—they feel that you have wasted their time.

Many wine fans believe California's weather is so consistently warm and sunny that its wines vary little by vintage.
"It's not true," said Mark DeVere, a master of wine representing the Robert Mondavi Winery at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami Beach in February.
"We can get our grapes ripe every year, unlike Europe, which is colder," he said. "But there are still differences in the years. The fruit might be up one year, the acid the next."
DeVere demonstrated some of the differences at a seminar sponsored by Wine Spectator magazine at the festival. It was a "vertical" tasting, featuring the Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve from Napa Valley from the years 1985, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2006 and 2009.
It was an extraordinary event, with some wines that today can be found only at the winery, or in private collectors' cellars.
"This is a treat for me too," said DeVere. "I don't get to do a vertical like this very often."
Mondavi wines were a good choice for the demonstration, since the winery has been around since Mondavi founded it in 1966.
"Mondavi really brought wine into America," said Tom Matthews, Wine Spectator's executive editor. "I doubt there's any wine fan who hasn't heard of him."
He went on: "This is an opportunity to see how wine evolves over time and how the weather and winemaking during different vintages changes it. The younger wines have intense color and fruit and structure. Older wines become more subtle, silkier.
"Also, if you have them in your cellar, this is a chance to see if it's time to open them."
The oldest wine in the vertical tasting, the 1985, was losing its vibrant purple color, but retained lively fruit flavors as well as more resolved, complex flavors like leather and earth. "You can't get these flavors in a young wine, DeVere said. "They come only through age. Mondavi wanted gentle wines, with layers of flavor – with power, but not an assault on the palate."
The youngest wine, the 2009 current release in wine shops, was so powerful that DeVere quipped: "It's as youthful as you can decently serve." He declined to say which vintages are ready to drink, which need more time. "I hate to say when is the best age. It's a matter of personal taste."
(The 2009 reserve cabernet sauvignon is on sale in shops nationwide for $135. Some of the older vintages can be found at auction, or by visiting the winery in Oakville, Calif., a spokeswoman said. The older vintages would sell for $165, she said.)
Vertical Tasting of Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve:
• 1985 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: color turning to mahogany, wide clear rim, aromas of dried roses, still lively flavors of black raspberries, cocoa, earth and leather, with delicate, resolving tannins and acids, sweet finish; overall, a complex wine.
• 1994 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: more youthful, darker hue, with aromas and riper flavors of blackberries and milk chocolate. Said DeVere: "This shows an important evolution in winemaking. By this time it was the winemaker, not the vineyard manager, who decided when to pick. There was more interest in the vineyard, and the wines became more subtle. The 1985 was more of an Old World style, with more acid."
• 1998 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: Dark hue, with delicate black plum and cinnamon flavors, powerful tannins and a long finish. De Vere: "This was a cold year, and it was hard to get the grapes ripe."
• 2000 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: darker hue, intense black raspberry and black plum flavors, with hints of mocha and powerful tannins. DeVere: "It was not a great year, but we were among the vineyards that picked before the rains came."
• 2006 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: ultra-dark hue, bursting with black raspberries and bittersweet chocolate, big but ripe tannins, youthful and concentrated. DeVere: "By this time Mondavi was using its new fermentation facility, with oak fermentation tanks that softened the tannins but kept the powerful fruit."

So I have Assassins Creed 3 preordered for the PS3, but I can change that to Wii U if I want, should I?
Wait, when is Wii U's release again? If I have to wait a little longer cause the console ain't out yet then screw that.

Thomas Built Buses Worker Files Federal Charge Against Company for Turning Blind Eye to Union Harassment
Company management demands she join the union to get fair treatment
High Point, NC (October 28, 2013) – A local Thomas Built Buses worker has filed a federal charge against the company for turning a blind eye to harassment she has received for exercising her right to refrain and inform her coworkers of their right to refrain from union membership.
With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, Tracy McLaughlin filed the unfair labor practice charge yesterday with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
United Auto Worker (UAW) Local 5287 union officials obtained monopoly bargaining powers over the workplace in 2006 after union and company officials cut a deal to force union "representation" on the workers.
In her charge, McLaughlin states that union officials have harassed her because she has exercised her right under North Carolina's popular Right to Work law to refrain from membership in the UAW Local 5287 union.

Our friends at To the Bottom and Back! Bus have announced a new route on Saturdays beginning Saturday February 19th!
It's To the Museums and Back! and will run from 10 AM to 6 PM each Saturday during the Virginia Museum of FIne Arts exhibition of "Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musee National Picasso, Paris." This is the ONLY east coast stop on the international tour of this collection of 176 works by the famed artist. Again VMFA brings world-class art to a world class museum right here in Richmond, VIrginia, our hometown and To the Bottom and Back! makes getting around town easy as pie!
This new Saturday bus route links the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Virginia Historical Society to Richmond's other downtown attractions: the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar, Shockoe Slip, Main Street Station, the Virginia State Capitol, Richmond Region Visitor Center, Maggie Walker National Historic site, and Monument Avenue. The 50-minute loop is expected to provide an easy way for visitors and residents to see and visit additional sites and museums with ease and without driving city streets. Two buses will circulate, with a bus expected at each stop about every 30 minutes. The green buses with black trim will stop at temporary signs placed along the route. And, best of all, you can track the bus on your smartphone or online.
This is a pilot route and stops were selected to be within walking distance of most downtown attractions. Hopes are high that the route will be extended farther east into the east end of the Richmond, into Carytown's shopping and restaurant district, and beyond the end of the exhibit on May 15th. When the special museum service ends at 6 PM, visitors may hop aboard the existing evening service along Cary/Main or Broad/Boulevard that runs from 6 PM to 3 AM to take advantage of Richmond's varied nightlife.
To the Bottom and Back! is a non-profit group backed by local businesses and donations to provide free night-time bus transportation in downtown Richmond to take the worry out of fun!
Richmond's premier bed and breakfast is just one block off Main and two blocks from Cary! You can park your car in our off street parking and leave the driving and navigating to To the Bottom and Back!

During his now-famous "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. referred to the Emancipation Proclamation that freed millions of slaves in 1863. But, he insisted, a hundred years later "… the Negro is still not free."
Today, we're celebrating the birth of the civil rights leader a few weeks after marking the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, which took place Aug. 28, 1963, and the "Letter from Birmingham City Jail," an open letter King wrote on April 16, 1963. In that letter, King wrote that "one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."
A scholarly King understood the impact of history and reflection. It wasn't an accident that the March on Washington, attended by 250,000 people and to that point the largest demonstration the nation's capital had seen, occurred 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
There was a widespread belief among marchers, some carrying signs reading "Free by '63," that a century was long enough to wait for the realization of the rights that were granted to the ex-slaves. King stressed the point at the beginning of his 17-minute speech, that a hundred years had made little difference in the lives of a significant portion of Americans. In the extemporaneous ending to the speech, King said, in part:
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
And now?
According to Clayborne Carson, director and senior editor of the King Papers Project at Stanford University, the civil rights leader would recognize elements of progress, always stressing the importance of celebration, but also acknowledging how much further we have to go.
He would be upset about the way in which some Americans celebrate his "I Have a Dream" speech as if it were in the past tense – that it had already been achieved when in reality, at the time of his April 4, 1968, assassination he often spoke of his unfulfilled dream. King's goals were still out in the future and, by many accounts, remain in the future, as there is still the poverty and war he fought against at the end of his life.
A half-century on from the March on Washington and a full 150 years following the Emancipation Proclamation, this nation has an African-American president who has just won election to a second term and today is being inaugurated. Could King have envisioned such an achievement, or the fact that today this nation is celebrating his own birth, and does so as a national holiday?
Carson's book, "Martin's Dream: My Journey and the Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.," makes the point that as a presidential candidate, Barack Obama continued King's dialogue with "the architects of our republic" about the meaning of the American Dream: "He drew inspiration from an American tradition of democratic thought that extended back through King to Lincoln, whose great speech at Gettysburg provided a template for King's prepared remarks at the March on Washington, and then to Jefferson."
As the Stanford University author so eloquently added, "Both King and Lincoln recognized that the nation's destructive racial divisions could be bridged only if Americans resolved to make real the promise of universal human rights that justified their nation's Declaration of Independence."
Now, 150 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and 50 years after the March on Washington, it is time to celebrate the birth of the civil rights leader. His life was taken early, but not before making an impact on the nation and world. King's legacy will live on long into the future.

scientists have identified a violent cosmic eruption that temporarily
blinded a NASA satellite in June. An X-ray telescope
that tracks
gamma rays on board the NASA Swift satellite
captured a record-breaking burst of rays that had left scientists
mystified about its massive brightness and point of origin. At
it's peak the gamma-ray explosion – documented as the most powerful
emission on record -- produced between 143,000 and 145,000 X-ray
protons per second, which is about 10 to 15 times brighter than
previous bursts captured by the telescope. After
weeks of analysis, researchers are now indicating that the astounding
blast was produced by a massive star collapsing into a black
hole. According to Astronomy.com and Space.com,
although the Swift satellite was designed specifically to study
gamma-ray bursts, the instrument was not designed to handle an X-ray
blast this bright."The intensity of these X-rays was
unexpected and unprecedented," said Neil Gehrels from NASA's
Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. He said the
burst, named GRB 100621A, is the brightest X-ray source that Swift
has detected since the observatory began X-ray observation in early
2005. "Just when we were beginning to think that we had seen
everything that gamma-ray bursts could throw at us, this burst came
along to challenge our assumptions about how powerful their X-ray
emissions can be."The event was so powerful, it disrupted
the telescope's data-analysis capabilities."The burst
was so bright when it first erupted that our data-analysis software
shut down," said Phil Evans from the University of Leicester in
the United Kingdom. "So many photons were bombarding the
detector each second that it just couldn't count them quickly enough.
It was like trying to use a rain gauge and a bucket to measure the
flow rate of a tsunami."The X-rays had been traveling
for over 5 billion years before being detected by the Swift
satellite.The burst lasted for about one minute and was about
200 times brighter than the Crab Nebula, an X-ray radiation benchmark
for astronomers. The X-ray blast is the brightest ever
detected from outside of the Milky Way galaxy.
quote: The speed of the photons themselves, when free, is still the speed of light. It is just the interactions taking place in the experiment that make it appear to travel more slowly.
quote: Who's to say that our galaxy is inside a giant bubble that causes matter to interact differently?
quote: It isn't hard to grasp the concept of things being different outside of the scope of our physical limitations.
quote: You can stand on an island and look through a pair of binoculars and see another island. You have no way of reaching this island. On the island you spot a beach ball. In reality, this is only a picture of a beach ball propped up in the sand.
quote: If you see a "picture" - of anything - that picture obviously had to come from somewhere. Outside of a proposed mechanism, consistent with all other observations, for that picture to be generated, created, or falsified, the only logical conclusion is that the picture represents a fairly accurate view of circumstances.

Termites are an ancient insect group, with fossils dating back about 200 million years. Termites eat cellulose, found in wood and plant products, but they can digest it only with the help of symbiotic microorganisms that live in their digestive tract and break the wood down. When these microorganisms are removed, termites starve.
Termites are essential in nature as recyclers of wood. There are several types in the U.S.
Damp wood termites (Florida and western U.S.) eat moist wood such as tree roots. Powder-post termites, introduced in furniture, (Gulf Coast) eat furniture, books, building timbers and similar dry things indoors and do not need ground contact. Rotten wood termites (foggy Pacific Coast) do not need ground contact but live in rotting logs. Dry wood termites (southwestern U.S.) are found in buildings, utility poles, lumber yards and similar places not in contact with soil.
The only termites in the northeastern U.S. are the eastern subterranean termites (Reticulitermes flavipes), the most destructive of them all. They nest in the ground and tunnel up to wood that is in contact with soil. They must have this soil contact for moisture in order to live.
Our local termites cannot start a colony by landing on a wood beam, windowsill or siding of a home or in firewood. They must have soil contact first, then tunnel up into wood contacting the soil. They can reach wood through cracks in foundations or through hollow concrete blocks. They also build mud tubes to cross over foundations to reach wood.
Along with ants, bees and wasps, termites are social insects, living in huge colonies, but they are very different from the other groups. The others all go through a complete metamorphosis, with larval and pupal stages. Termites have no larvae or pupae, but they do change form in very unusual ways.
Other social insects have a queen that lays eggs. Workers are underdeveloped, sterile females. The males die after fertilizing the queen.
Termites also have a queen, plus a king who continues to live with the queen, and other colony members called supplementary reproductives that help colony growth. Termite workers are both males and females.
Termite workers are often called white ants because they look rather antlike - but they do not have thin waists or elbowed antennas like ants. Their bodies are white, like many creatures that live in dark places, because they never get out into sunlight. They are delicate, dry out easily and can't live outside their tunnels.
Young termite kings and queens, called "alates" because they have wings, have dark bodies like ants. They are the "swarmers" that come out of infested wood for mating flights. Once the males and females have found mates, they remove their wings and dig into the ground together to start a nest.
Termites have three main castes - reproductives, soldiers (with huge heads and jaws for defense) and workers - but here is where it gets confusing. What a termite will be is not decided in the egg stage. All newly-hatched termites look alike. They are called larvae, but they are not worms or grubs. They are just tiny termites that do not work. At the first molt they become either reproductive types or workers.
Workers can continue as workers all of their lives, simply getting larger with each molt. Or, they can molt into pre-soldiers and then big-headed soldiers. Or, they can molt into "nymphs" that have wing pads. The nymphs can molt into dark-colored winged alates or into pale "secondary reproductives" with short wings. Workers can also molt into "third form reproductives" without wing pads.
Stranger still, the nymphs can go backwards. They can molt and lose their wing pads and become workers again.
The alates do not reproduce in the colony. They leave to start new homes. The secondary and third-form reproductives stay at home with the present king and queen, mate and lay eggs within the colony to keep it growing.
The termites' strange methods of development allow them to raise colony members of the shapes and habits needed to help the colony at any time.

An earthquake near Greenville, around 30 miles north of Grass Valley, did not injure anyone but did cause moderate damage, including to a water tank that supplies hundreds of homes with drinking water, local authorities said Friday.
The quake, felt in Nevada County, registered as a magnitude 5.7 quake, according United States Geologic Survey. However initial measurement of the California Earthquake Data Center gauged the rumble as a magnitude 5.9 event. Both agencies agree the temblor struck at 8:47 p.m. and was centered six miles west northwest of Greenville.
"Heard trees cracking here at Scott's Flat," read a comment on The Union's Facebook page by someone using the name Robin Moffat Painter.
"That was the biggest quake I felt since moving to Grass Valley (East Lime Kiln Road) from Campbell near the Loma Prietta quake. 5.7," reads another comment to The Union under the name Marilyn Webb . "My house shook big time."
Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood said the quake sent items tumbling from grocery store shelves and downed chimneys when it hit at 8:47 p.m. Thursday.
KCRA-TV in Sacramento reports that the quake was felt in downtown Sacramento, about 145 miles south of the epicenter. The U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Center said was felt as far away as San Francisco and in two other states. It was followed by multiple aftershocks, including a magnitude 4.9 quake that struck early Friday morning.
About 300 people were affected by the damaged water system, Hagwood said.
"Without question, it's the strongest quake I've ever felt here. It was very unsettling and it lasted long enough to create a measure of anxiety," Hagwood said. "The supermarkets and stores had a lot of things come off the shelves."
Pacific Gas & Electric said about 660 customers lost power on the southwestern edge of Lake Almanor at about 9:39 p.m. Thursday.
Susan Shephard and her husband Alan Shephard, who run the Quail Lodge at Lake Almanor near Greenville very close to the epicenter, said they were watching "The Hunger Games" on TV when the whole building started shaking.
"All of a sudden things started falling off the shelves, mirrors fell off the wall, vases fell down to the floor, everything started crashing," Shephard told the Redding Record-Searchlight. "It felt like the end of our world."
The Susanville Fire Department said it had received no reports of damage, and a Plumas County Sheriff's Office dispatcher said calls were flooding into its office but no reports of damage.
Thousands of people reported feeling the quake, as far away as the San Francisco Bay area and across the borders into Oregon and Nevada, according to the USGS website.
KCRA-TV in Sacramento reported that the Plumas County temblor was felt in downtown Sacramento, about 145 miles south of the epicenter.
People in Yuba and Sutter Counties, south of Plumas, said they felt a rolling quake, according to the Marysville Appeal-Democrat.
"People in the area felt a strong jolt, but it was not enough to generate serious damage, based on early field reports," said Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colo.

Tonight there was a swarm of dragonflies that kept circling around us as we played outside. There were about eight of them, and they'd fly so fast they'd crash into each other, their wings tangling and clicking.
(I tried to catch one, with my broom and then my rake. Only to look at, not to kill.)
(I was unsuccessful. Those things fly fast.)
I have no idea why they were around us. My only explanation was that they liked our psychedelic chalk drawrings.
Gray wanted to know what dragonflies eat, so we googled it. This is also how I found out that dragonflies swarm where their food is favorable : mosquitoes. [Please stay, dragonflies.]
There was no mention of chalk drawrings.
I went on a run and it was happy, one of those this is good for me runs, and there was a confidence in my form, my head was high, even the sky obliged, with that look of where the horizon looks like land meeting sea, the clouds could be sky and the sky mistaken for clouds. Or mountains. And I let my imagination trick me, and go there, like those 3D posters, because it was pretty.
On my run I got a call that my laptop was ready, all fixed and since Goldentech is literally down the street from my house, I had just run by, so I turned around and ran/walked back and picked it up. Then I walked home because I was certain if I ran I'd drop my laptop, and two guys walked by me and I crossed the street because it was getting dark and I was carrying my laptop, yo.
I made it home and felt so much better. Happy, really.
Because I ran, and it felt good, and all the songs on my ipod were like little gifts, and I got my laptop back, and I had a good talk with hubs, and I felt confirmation on a certain decision I made about this weekend.
I leave you with the notsosecret secret that I want to visit Paris again for a long holiday, maybe even move there. With the kids of course. I'm brushing up on my French, in the meantime.
Ou la la and que sera sera.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Alison Dance bought the building next to her restaurant Cyprus Cafe, and within months, one tenant bailed and the other couldn�t meet the rent. An impromptu brainstorming session with a friend and voila! Eno was born.
�By the time I got home that night, I told my boyfriend, I�m going to open a wine bar,� she said, sitting in the sleek space on East Second Avenue on a weekend morning.
Wine is having a moment.
Not only that, it�s having it in and around Durango. Four places to drink wine opened in the past three years, two this year alone.
What�s happening? Have Durangoans suddenly thrown over their preferred drinks of choice � beer and strong liquor � for that swishiest of cocktails, a good glass of wine?
Well, let�s not go so far. There�s no shortage of patrons waiting in line outside Steamworks Brewing Co. on any given evening, and no local bar is tossing out vodka and whiskey for chardonnay and malbec.
But sure enough, wine is making headway even in our own Wild West. Jason Blankenship opened Olio in Mancos in June, a wine bar with a farm-fresh, European-style menu. Dean and Tracey Fagner opened Four Leaves Winery in January, both a tasting room and a do-it-yourself wine producer on Main Avenue.
Just up the block, Sutcliffe Vineyards, the venerable Colorado winery, established a small tasting room at the northeast corner of Main Avenue and College Drive.
These places are in addition to Jean-Pierre Bl�ger�s tasting room and wine bar, which he opened in 2004 when he moved his well-known bakery downtown.
But back to Eno. It taps into the �70s vibe of that hippie hangout favorite, the coffee house. The walls are decorated with good local art, and Dance holds receptions for the artists. Live bands play in winter. You can meet your friends for a glass, a drink (Eno serves cocktails as well), a snack and wile the evening away on $20.
You can order old favorites like the French sauvignon blanc by Domaine Plouzeau, or experiment with a torrontes by Callia from Argentina, another floral white. While you�re sipping, you can nibble on Eno�s tapas � just another word for small plates of delicious food � cured meats with pickled carrots or a Coloradan artisan cheese plate with fruit crostini.
Eno also is a coffee house, opening at 8 a.m. and offering light breakfast items, coffee and teas and staying open until 10 p.m. You can order wine at any time, of course, but the iced mocha is a delightful way to carry yourself into cocktail hour.
Blankenship is aiming at the same ambiance � art on the walls, live music when he can get it � to create a casual, hang-around feel. But while he initially imagined Olio primarily would be a wine bar, his love of cooking and his skill at it mean his eight tables are usually full of diners.
And who wouldn�t want to try his steamed dumplings with carrot, ginger, bok choy and a Thai barbecue glaze or the trio of deviled eggs with avocado, roasted fennel and white anchovy, and sundried tomatoes and serrano ham? They go perfectly with Blankenship�s favorite wine of the moment, Lacryma Cristi, a complex Italian white with notes of citrus and apple.
Blankenship is eager for customers to frequent his place for the wine, and not just chardonnay and Bordeaux.
�I try to get people into other things than Sauvignon Blanc. You don�t walk in and say �Give me a chardonnay.� I want you to walk in and be willing to try something else.�
Fortunately for us, Durango has novelty, too. Four Leaves Winery offers you a chance to taste the 19 wines they make in the back room � aged three months max � or even, if you�re adventurous, to make your own.
Owner and winemaker Dean Fagner will show you around the tidy, industrial-looking room where he makes wine in 28-gallon plastic buckets. He imports the raw material for his wine � called juice, just as you�d expect � to create such well-known varieties as sangiovese, the intense and fruity base for Chianti and chardonnay, the elegant, medium-bodied grape of white Burgundies. He also blends his own sweet fruit wines, creating such exotic flavors as grapefruit blush, a more tart white zinfandel.
The fabulous old building has high, decorated ceilings and thick stone walls. The owners installed a long granite counter, the better for pouring flights and nibbling on nuts and chocolate. Definitely nontraditional, Four Leaves attracts drinkers looking for the new.
�We want people to experience how to make wine,� Fagner said.
He also wants them to have fun. A foreign customer once asked the year of the wine he was tasting.
�What year? Heck, we�re bottling it while you�re still drinking it,� he said, laughing.
While it may be hard to believe, Sutcliffe Vineyards, the pre-eminent Colorado winemaker, was once just as unusual. In 1995, when John Sutcliffe started growing grapes outside Cortez, Colorado had no wine industry to speak of. Today, the state�s terrain and climate are encouraging more winemakers to give it a try.
At Sutcliffe�s tiny tasting room � most of the drinking is done at the eight blue tables on its outside patio � you can try its most popular wine, the 2009 100-percent merlot (87 points from Wine Spectator) and dip into its charcuterie board. Or if you�re still feeling the last bit of summer�s heat, you can sample its German-style riesling, sweet smelling but crisp tasting. Either way, you�ll go away happy.
But if you�re looking for a tried-and-true, old-fashioned wine bar with the comfort of a French bistro and a cheese plate to match, Jean-Pierre�s Bakery and Wine Bar will fill the bill. (Let us note that many of Durango�s fine-dining restaurants offer extensive wines by the glass and happily will serve them to you at their bars, as well.)
If you�re lucky, Bl�ger himself will be there to assist with the tasting, opening bottles of a delicious, minerally French Bordeaux ros� or a deep, fruity C�tes du Rh�ne, or best of all, setting out a plate of creamy Camembert and pungent Pont l�Eveque cheeses, all while dressed in shorts, a Hawaiian shirt decorated with palm trees and Birkenstock sandals, as he did for me.
Bl�ger targets two types of customers: the knowledgeable local and the affluent visitor. He is developing a full line of classic Bordeaux � the most expensive wine on the planet � yet offers most of his wines by the glass for less than $10.
To him, wine is simply a pleasure, something to be indulged in every day. But he sees the potential, too, for extravagances, upwards of $400 a bottle, and he also is beginning to stock those wines.
�Ladies like diamonds. They could do without, but they buy them anyway. Men like expensive cars. They could do without, but they buy them, too. That�s how I�m approaching it,� he said, in his inimitable French accent.
Meanwhile, I recommend the 2011 Chateau Haut Rian ros� at $8 a glass and the small cheese plate with nuts and fruit for $7.50. We all deserve our indulgences.

Barbour County Sheriff John Hawkins will serve a second term.
Hawkins, a Democrat, defeated Republican challenger Carlton "Jody" Haller, of Belington, by 160 votes to win the seat, according to unofficial results from Tuesday's general election.
"I am very honored the citizens would give me the opportunity to serve for four more years," Hawkins said. "One of my top priorities is to heal the issues between the law enforcement agencies the election has caused."
The sheriff described this year's election as "the worst" he has seen on the local and the national levels.
"People wanted to talk about rumors and not the facts," he said. "It may have stopped some people from running. It is going to take some time for the wounds to heal."
Hawkins said he looks forward to continuing the work he began four years ago, including the battle against illegal drug use.
"Without the constraints of an election, we can continue what we started," he said.
Hawkins, of Philippi, topped Haller by 160 votes to retain his seat as the top law enforcement officer in the county. Hawkins received 2,861 votes, while Haller took 2,701.
Haller said he believed the turnout in the county was excellent, and he said he appreciates the support he received.
"I want to thank the citizens of Barbour County for their support," he said. "Someone has to win and someone has to lose. It was a good turnout, and the people have spoken."

Producers of Brazilian beef anticipate a big boost in their sales to the U.S., as well as Canada and Mexico, in the coming months, according to reports.
Under a new, proposed trade rule, estimates show that Brazil would export between 20,000 and 60,000 metric tons of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef to the U.S. — but that would have a negative net impact on the U.S. cattle industry of $165 million, according to some figures.
Adding to that are other concerns.
"I don't think we need to be importing meat from these third world countries that don't have near the safety protocols that we have here in the U.S.," said Ft. Pierre, S.D., Livestock's Bryan Hanson.
However, concern is not the feeling held on the other side of the Equator — in fact, it's quite the opposite.
"It is something spectacular to open a huge market such as the U.S. for Brazilian beef", Antonio Carmadelli, president of the Brazilian Association of the Beef exporting industry, Abiec, said in a Dec., 20, Merco Press story. The U.S. is the world's largest consumer of beef, using 11.6 million tons annually, of which 1.02 million tons are imported, the story noted.
"Besides if we make it to the U.S., we have prospects of other openings in NAFTA members, Canada and Mexico, plus Central America, which follows U.S. sanitary rules," added the Brazilian businessman.
"Brasilia and Washington have taken the latest technical steps to open the U.S. market to Brazilian beef, which if all runs smoothly together with a 60 to 90 days public consultation period could see the first shipments in the second quarter of next year. Currently because of sanitary barriers linked to Foot and Mouth Disease, Brazil can only export industrialized beef to the U.S.," according to the opening lines of a story from the 'South Atlantic News Agency.'
Over a year and a half ago, former Brazilian Ag Minister Marcus Vinicius Pratini de Moraes opened discussions on a trade agreement with the U.S., but an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (in neighboring Paraguay) forced a suspension of talks. Under the WTO cotton agreement reached in 2010, the U.S. was committed to opening its market for Brazilian pork and beef, the story went on to point out.
The story claims that an agreement was reached in which 14 Brazilian states would be able to export fresh or (chilled) beef to the U.S. The idea was to make the official announcement last October but it all fell through with the disclosure of massive U.S. spying.
Abiec estimates that in 2014 it will be able to sell anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 tons of beef to the U.S., but 2015 could turn into a boom year.
Brazil is expected to export beef this year to Hong Kong, Russia and Venezuela as main markets.
The story also states that the Brazilian government is confident that accessing the U.S. market will help them open up other significant markets, such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia.
The U.S. Federal Register on Dec. 23, requested comments on a proposal to allow 14 Brazilian states to export certain beef products as well as live cattle to the U.S.
Some here are already voicing their concerns.
"Hoof and mouth is one of the most contagious diseases for a cloven-footed animal," Ft. Pierre, S.D., Livestock's Bryan Hanson continued, commenting that the disease can even be spread through meat or even infected garbage. "I'm extremely nervous about them importing live cattle from a country that has this disease."
Hanson explained that currently one Brazilian state, Santa Catarina, has been approved by USDA to begin exporting both beef and live cattle to the U.S., but because their outdated packing plants have not yet been approved by a different USDA agency, product has not yet entered this county.
According to Hanson, 14 more Brazilian states are being considered for approval to export to the U.S., and he believes this would result in a flood of Brazilian beef and cattle crossing our borders.
"If South Dakota had a market where the cattle were worth $2 per pound and in North Dakota they were worth 25 cents a pound, you can bet they'd figure out a way to get their cattle down here and sell them as South Dakota cattle," he explained.
A few years ago Hanson read a study that stated that Brazilian cattle were valued at half the amount of U.S. cattle, and with the jump in the U.S. cattle market lately, he figures that spread has probably widened.
He adds that cattle numbers in Brazil are approximately twice that of U.S. cattle numbers. The dumping situation that instigated lawsuits in the 1990s against Canadian cattle and beef will probably pale in comparison to the impact this agreement could have on the U.S. cattle market, he worries.
"It will break our market," he said. "I think you could see those fat cattle drop overnight because all of the Brazilian product would be captive supply that they could use to manipulate our market here. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a drop in fat cattle of $100 to $200 per head this spring if it goes through."
Hanson explained that comments can be submitted by Feb. 21 to the USDA Animal and Plan Health Inspection Service regarding the proposal to approve 14 more Brazilian states for importation of beef and cattle to the U.S.
Wall, S.D., rancher and cattle feeder Myron Williams said he is not very familiar with the details of the issue, and while he, in general is a "free trader," he isn't sure where APHIS is coming from in proposing the rule.
"I don't understand some of their reasoning but if it's not a problem and if they can show the benefit in loosening some trade barriers somewhere else, I'm in favor of it. If it is just going to put more beef on the market here, I'd question the law," he said.
Ed Blair, Vale, S.D., seedstock producer and past president of the S.D. Beef Industry Council said, "Two concerns that I have with the importation of fresh Brazilian beef: Is the science right that you can remain FMD free and still import fresh meat? I don't have an answer to that question, as I am not a scientist. The second concern that I have is this: Does FSIS have the personnel in this time of budget constraints to adequately inspect the Brazilian processing plants?" ❖
Comments can be submitted by Feb. 21, by either of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to www.regulations.gov/documentDetail;D=APHIS-2009-0017-0001.
Postal mail/commercial delivery: Send comments to Docket No. APHIS–2009–0017, Regulatory Analysis, and Development, PPD, APHIS, Station 3A–03.8, 4700 River Road Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737–1238.

Leukemia is a type of cancer that develops in the bone marrow. With acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloid cells that are precursors to blood cells, including:
The leukemia cells do not function normally. They cannot do what normal blood cells do, like fight infections. The abnormal cells also overgrow the bone marrow, forcing normal cells out. Without normal cells,
and bleeding problems develop. They also cannot fight infections properly.

Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms, called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant growths. These growths can invade nearby tissues. Cancer that has invaded nearby tissues can then spread to other parts of the body.
It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells, but it is probably a combination of genetics and environment.
AML is more common in those of Hispanic descent. Other factors that may increase your child's risk of AML include:
AML may cause:
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will check for swelling of the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
Test to assess bodily tissues or other structures include:
Imaging tests evaluate bodily structures. These may include:
Once AML is identified, it can be classified. These subtypes are based on the type of cell from which leukemia developed. This is important because it can help the doctor make a prognosis and develop a treatment plan.
Talk with the doctor about the best plan for your child. Treatment of AML usually involves 2 phases:
Treatment options include:
There are no current guidelines to prevent AML because the cause is unknown.
