RANGOON — Journalists say the Burma government is imposing new visa restrictions that will make it difficult for them to remain based in the country full time.
The Ministry of Information has started denying requests for three- to six-month journalist visas for foreign passport holders who work at formerly exiled media groups—including The Irrawaddy—which were previously based abroad but have returned to Burma during the country's transition from military rule. At the end of last month, the ministry started granting visas to some journalists that are only valid for a fraction of the requested time, despite a lack of any official announcement about a policy change.
"I only got 28 days," said Toe Zaw Latt, an Australian passport holder who works as the Rangoon bureau chief for the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB).
Over the past year he and other journalists at his news agency have received three- to six-month journalist visas, with the option to renew inside the country. After applying as usual for a three-month visa last month, he was granted a four-week stay on Jan. 31 and told that he would need to go abroad to reapply in the future, due to a change in regulations.
"It's not a good sign to see that kind of restriction at this moment, as Burma will have the Asean meetings and elections in the next year," he said, referring to general elections in 2015 and Burma's obligations as chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) this year.
Formerly based in Norway, DVB set up shop in Rangoon last year, while The Irrawaddy opened an office in the city in 2012 after operating for two decades in Thailand. Both media groups publish in Burmese and English languages, and both employ foreigners as editors and reporters, while some Burmese staff members hold foreign passports from their time in exile.
Ye Htut, the deputy minister of information and the president's spokesman, said the government changed visa regulations because some journalists had renewed their visas several times without setting up offices inside the country.
"We give six-month multiple-entry visas to anyone and their family members who work for any official news agency in Burma," he told The Irrawaddy last week on Friday. Days later, the ministry granted a two-week journalist visa to a senior staff member at The Irrawaddy who had applied for three months.
Two other editors at the magazine were forced to leave Burma over the weekend after their visas expired and their renewal requests were denied. They are now working from The Irrawaddy's office in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and are awaiting a response from the ministry on a second request for a visa.
In an interview last year with The Guardian newspaper, Ye Htut said journalists who traveled in and out of Burma could receive multiple-entry visas valid for between three and six months. He told the British publication that journalists who intended to set up a foreign bureau in the country would be granted visas that were valid for up to one year.
Journalists with other local and international news agencies declined to comment when asked whether they had been affected by the recent change in visa regulations. It is likely that most foreign journalists in the country have not tried to renew their visas since the policy changes went into effect, only within the past two weeks or so.
Burma's government has been praised for loosening its grip on the press after decades of authoritarian rule. Since taking office in 2011, President Thein Sein has ended pre-publication censorship, invited exiled media to operate officially inside the country, and allowed privately owned daily newspapers to publish.
But the government has also accused journalists of misusing newfound freedoms by reporting misinformation. Last month state-run media criticized The Associated Press and The Irrawaddy after both publications reported allegations by a rights group that dozens of Rohingya Muslims had been massacred in Maungdaw Township, Arakan State. Although the United Nations has backed these reports, saying it received credible information that 48 Muslims were killed, the government has vehemently denied the allegations.
The Ministry of Information called representatives of the AP into its office for a talk after the international news wire made its report. The Foreign Affairs Ministry later blocked reporters from the AP, The Irrawaddy, Voice of America, Mizzima and The Myanmar Times from attending a press briefing about Maungdaw.
Earlier this month, the chief executive and four journalists from Rangoon-based Unity journal were arrested and detained after the publication ran a story about an alleged chemical weapons factory in central Burma. Ye Htut slammed the journal's story as "baseless" because it lacked official sources, and he defended the arrests as valid under the 1923 Official Secrets Act.
Thiha Saw, editor in chief of the English-language Myanma Freedom Daily, said he was aware of visa problems at other news organizations, but added that his publication had been unaffected so far. "It hasn't come to me and my editors yet, because they got their visas just before all this happened," he told The Irrawaddy last week.
"It all started with the AP's stories on the Maungdaw incidents. AP guys were called in by the minister of information and sort of 'scolded.' Then came the visa issues. It looks like the MOI is still quite powerful in meddling with our lives. My view is that it's just temporary and things will get back to normal conditions sooner or later."
In light of recent events, Human Rights Watch has called on the Burma government to prioritize media reform.
"Recent harassment of Burmese and international reporters over journalist visas marks a sinister backsliding in the much-touted media reform sector," David Mathieson, a senior researcher on Burma for HRW, told The Irrawaddy on Thursday. "International donors and diplomats must be aware that freedoms of the media are a key barometer in the sincerity of Thein Sein's reforms, and the climate is decidedly cooler now. The Ministry of Information has to pull back from this spiteful harassment of journalists doing their jobs."
Shawn Crispin, the Southeast Asia representative for the Committee to Protect Journalists, said visa restrictions sent a clear signal that foreign news organizations were not entirely welcome in the country and would be subject to arbitrary penalties for critical news coverage.
"It appears authorities are reverting to the previous junta's divide-and-rule tactic of rewarding news outlets that give generally favorable coverage to the government and punishing those that are more critical. We are particularly concerned that former exile-run media groups that have recently established bureaus in Burma and downsized their foreign operations are being targeted," he told The Irrawaddy.
Phone Myint Aung, a lawmaker with the New National Democratic Party, said the government had the right to restrict visas for foreign journalists. However, he said that if media groups raised concerns and presented evidence, he would bring the issue before Parliament.
"It would be problematic if the government allowed tourist visas while banning journalists," he said. "Maybe the government is afraid some journalists who are not based here will make a surprise visit and do controversial reporting."
In neighboring Thailand, media visas are initially valid for three months with a single entry, but can be extended for up to one year after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues a letter addressed to the immigration department and the police.
Thein Sein administration may think it can successfully cheated the citizens of Myanmar and the people of the world. We expected from this regime since day one that it was untrustworthy. Now, we are seeing its color clearly. Thein Sein and Shwe Mann talked loud about amending the constitution but they are not serious to do it so. If Shwe Mann fails to lead USDP dominated Hlutdaws to amend the constitution and Thein Sein fails to implement to protect freedom of press/media, they will be hated and voted out by the people. I am sure the people are so angry at them as they cheat on the nation and her citizens.
Myanmar will chair ASEAN. So, ASEAN is led by thief. Well! ASEAN itself has been den for crooks and thieves for the past many years anyway.
"I only got 28 days," said Toe Zaw Latt, an Australian passport holder who works as the Rangoon bureau chief for the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB).
Another way to put it in perspective: YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GET THE BOOT sooner than you think, any bets?
It is 2014 man!
And 2015 WILL DECIDE WHO IS THE LAST MAN/WOMAN LEFT STANDING as well, of course.
I AM PUTTING MY MONEY ON ONE OF THE MONKEYS – Shwe Mann, Myint Swe, Min Aung Hlaing not the least – RUNNING ROUGH SHOD at Naypyidaw today for that matter and MAKE A FEW DOLLARS – not worthless tissue paper money KYAT – MORE for the better man.
Suu Kyi's PRESIDENCY in Burma is MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for the NLD and Suu Kyi as well, any bets?
Than Shwe and his bunch WILL NOT LET IT HAPPEN as well man, trust me.
However, the DESIRE/WILL of the PEOPLE of BURMA IS VITAL and INSTRUMENTAL as well in MAKING that MISSION POSSIBLE of course.
That is WHAT I CALL "PEOPLE POWER" man!
Now Than Shwe's PROTEGES are MAKING LIFE HARD/DIFFICULT for you MEDIA GUYS. Right?
That is only the FIRST STEP in their STRATEGY to HIJACK the 2015 ELECTIONS, don't argue man!
GAGGING the MEDIA is the FIRST/PRIMARY WEAPON EMPLOYED by any/every DICTATOR on this PLANET as well.
And the REST WILL FOLLOW in DUE COURSE of TIME and SPACE as well, trust me.
Soon the MEDIA WILL GO UNDERGROUND LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS man, any bets?
Hence, THINGS WILL GET DICEY and BITCHY as well in the run up to 2015 ELECTIONS in Burma of course.
Next THERE WILL BE KNOCKS ON THE DOORS IN THE MIDDLE of the NIGHT for HIGH PROFILE PEOPLE, Min Ko Naing and his 8888 Generation Students Group, members/supporters of the NLD and even Suu Kyi is NO EXCEPTION for that matter, trust me.
CRUNCH TIME IS COMING man!
And DOOMS' DAY FOR ALL in BURMA is JUST AROUND THE CORNER, any bets?
The HANDSHAKE between Suu Kyi and Min Ko Naing led 8888 Generation Students group TRIGGERED the MATTER – media gag – and ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE soon as well in the run up to the 2015 ELECTIONS, any bets?
DICTATORS NEVER GIVE UP/SURRENDER THEIR ILL-GOTTEN POWER and PROPERTY VOLUNTARILY lest you guys forget!

Featured Golf News
Park Out-Duels Pettersen on Sunday in China
No. 1-ranked Inbee Park got the best of second-ranked Suzann Pettersen in the World Ladies Championship, an event on the Ladies European Tour at Mission Hills Golf Club in China.
Park closed with a 6-under 67 to finish 72 holes in 24-under 268, five strokes ahead of the Norwegian, who shot a 72. Park's fellow South Korean, So Yeon Ryu, had a 69 and finished alone in third at 276.
Park and Pettersen began the final round Sunday tied for the lead but, after Park moved a stroke ahead through 10 holes, she pulled away with back-to-back birdies on the 11th and 12th. She then tacked on two more birdies to cruise to victory.
It was redemption of sorts for Park, who a year ago saw Pettersen rally down the stretch to win at Mission Hills in the final round.
The win was Park's first of the year. "Everything seems to be working quite well for me, from ball striking to putting. Everything was great today so I'm just happy to be here and win my first tournament of 2014.
"Last year I was leading going into the final round and I lost to Suzann. I knew that I left something out there last year so coming back this year I definitely wanted to win and that's what I just did. I had good memories from last year and better memories from this year, so I'm happy to be here. It has been a fantastic tournament."

The Uptown Bar
If there's one thing I've learned in my two years on the job
here at Pulse it's that just when you think you've run out
of local music to cover another exciting band pops up around the corner.
A case in point: newcomers the Softrocks. With a front man (Mike Sapiro)
whose got the ragged indie-rock battle cry down perfectly—not to
mention an awesome hair cut—and a perfectly sympathetic Pavement-esque
backing band, the Softrocks have all the key ingredients in place to become
yet another local band you'll love. The band's self-titled
debut album, which is getting its CD release celebration tonight, features
lengthy and angular songs that never lose their way and occasionally boast
a prickly energy ("Bedroom Lights" is a flat-out gem). Not
content to get too cozy in the college rock fold, however, the quartet's
also willing to spruce things up a bit when deemed necessary (yes, that
really is an accordian at the center of "Last Cult of Dionysus").

Civil Liberties Forum
May Day Books
of the more difficult responsibilities people face in a free society is
to insist that all people, even possible terrorists, be given a fair trial—especially
after September 11. That is what civil rights attorney Lynne Stewart wanted
to do for Sheik Abdel-Rahman, a Muslim cleric who was held in New York.
Several years after the former children's librarian defended Abdel-Rahman
in 1995, FBI agents arrested her and searched her home, alleging that
she was a threat to national security. The proof? Stewart had allegedly
discussed the case with her client and others, and the FBI had tapped
her phone. The Antiwar Committee will host a forum, "Forum on Civil
Liberties in a Time of 'War on Terrorism,'" to discuss
Stewart's case and what it means for our own freedoms. The forum
will also discuss the case of Colombian rebel Ricardo Palmera, arrested
on drug charges last year. Human-rights groups say they believe the charges
to be false, and that the Colombian government is targeting Palmera as
a political dissident. 7 p.m. 301 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-333-4719.

Kirby on Autism and Vaccines
Bound to be Read Bookstore
One of the nation's lesser-known controversies involves a possible
link between infant vaccines and childhood autism. The number of autism
cases is increasing, for unknown reasons, and a growing number of parents
of autistic children believe that infant vaccines may be the culprit.
On the other side of the debate stand medical professionals, whose studies
deny such a link, and who say that parents are spreading an urban legend
that will only result in children becoming more susceptible to disease.
New York Times writer David Kirby has written "Evidence of Harm:
Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic, a Medical Controversy,"
a book that examines the impassioned debate with as much detachment as
possible. 7:30 p.m. Free. 870 Grand Ave, St. Paul. 651-646-2665.

The Life And Times
The Triple Rock Social Club
Epley led Kansas City outfit Shiner through a decade of mind-bending-genre-blurring
noise rock before that group called it a day in 2002, and he's wasted
no time regrouping with a new crew in The Life and Times. Continuing in
Shiner's cathartic high-decibel vein, the J. Robbins produced debut
full-length from the Life and Times, Suburban Hymns, won't
be available until August—but the lucky few who have heard it (aka
me), can't help but marvel at the blend of sleek anthemic hookery
(is it weird that I'm catching shades of U2 all over the place?)
and dense sound atmospherics. It's hard to picture just three dudes
pulling this business off in the live setting (Epley's guitar and
vocals are rounded out by moog player/bassist Eric Abert and drumkit ace
Chris Metcalf) and it should be interesting to see how the Life and Times
handle the challenge. With Middlepicker, Story of the Sea. 9 p.m. $6

Mojados: Through the Night
U Film Society
We're all immigrants. We're all strangers in a strange land.
My people came in coffin ships from County Cork in Ireland and in steerage
next to a barrel of lutefisk from Smaland in Sweden. Some came unwillingly
in slave ships from Africa. Some came in cramped freighters from China.
Not all the migrant workers survived the passage. And now the first are
last. Mexicans, probably descended from the first immigrants and probably
the only ones who walked here across the land bridge from Asia, are coming
north for jobs. It all seems so familiar, so painful, so authentically
American. "Mojados: Through the Night" is the story of three
young men who make the journey. They face freezing nights, no food and
water and the continuing presence of death and disaster—all for
the chance to mix your cement, roof your house, paint your garage or bus
your dishes so they can send money back to their families. It shouldn't
have to be that hard. Through June 2. Bell Auditorium, 17th & University

Sexy Spring II
Various locations
mowing the lawn, schlepping the kids to soccer or tackling that heap of
laundry seems like the same banal weekend routine, perhaps crafting your
own sex toy or gleaning tips on writing erotica might be more inspirational.
Sexy Spring II is a collective-sponsored three-day educational conference
that explores sex, sexuality, gender and relationships through classes
and entertainment. The concept was born during collaboration between the
Bat Annex Free School and Resource Center, a knowledge and skill-sharing
group dedicated to strengthening communities and the Toolshed, a radical
sex-positive artists collective. Class offerings at this year's
conference are as diverse as a high school boy's fantasies, covering
everything from self-help and health to fetish and erotica. Samples include
"How to Ask for What You Want (for Shy People"); "Natural
Strategies for Reproductive Health and Awareness," "Kinky
Play: Techniques of the Trade" and more, more, more. A kick-off
and orientation session begins at Spokes Pizza on Thursday night. In addition
to classes, there's also a dinner party, cabaret and an ice cream
social. This is not your mother's Memorial weekend agenda. Events
run Thu. - Sat. For more information and a complete list of events, go

Moonshine Flush
The Terminal Bar
of players from a number of prior local outfits (Oliver and the ID, Heavenzone,
Kung Fu Grip), new local quartet Moonshine Flush boast a truly unique
sound and vision. Based around acoustic guitar, viola and upright bass,
one might expect Moonshine Flush's music to be strait-laced old
school folk. But as their name hints at, there's a ribald wit and
mischievous muse at work in the mind of singer/songwriter/guitarist Oliver
Thayer. You're not going to hear songs about working out in the
fields or the joys of a walk in the country, but you are likely to hear
love songs centered around congenital defects ("Three Balls")
and songs poking fun at bad-music-loving ex-girlfriends ("Clear
Channel Whore"). Moonshine Flush are sure to beguile those who like
a little humor in their pop song diet. With LEVEL. 9:30 p.m. $5. 21+.

Cowboy Curtis, Vicious Vicious
The Hexagon Bar
of the best bands in the Twin Cities brought together for one special
occasion. The bands? Cowboy Curtis and Vicious Vicious, the former a young
peripatetic pop combo on the rise and the latter the TC area's hottest
purveyors of caucasion-funked-popitude. The occasion? My birthday. Yeah,
I know it's lame to throw yourself a party but I just couldn't
resist the urge to pull a few strings and put together my dream concert
bill. So arrive early to catch the solo stylings of local newcomer Pat
Leo and kick back for a rare stripped down solo set from Ela front man
Bill Caperton (who's in the process of finishing up his band's
highly anticipated sophomore album with Askeleton's Knol Tate).
Then get ready to get up out of your seat for Cowboy Curtis (who'll
be showcasing tasty new-wave inflected pop craft from their recently recorded
but still unreleased new album helmed with Halloween, Alaska's Ev
Olcott behind the boards) and headlining act Vicious Vicious. Anyone yet
to rediscover Erik Appelwick's groove-led pop group since he brought
Vicious Vicious back from hiatus a few months back in between his near-constant
Olympic Hopefuls gigging is truly missing out. With the release of VV
album No. 2 finally on the horizon (Don't Look So Surprised

The Ramayana Project
Hamline University
Globalization has its perks, and the Ramayana project, presented by the
Katha Dance Theatre, is one of them. This
weekend over 40 artists from India, Indonesia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia,
and, of course, Minnesota will gather to tell the tale of the thousands-year-old
classic Hindu epic. The Ramayana depicts prince Rama's Odyssey after
he is banished to the forest to prevent him from becoming king. Rama and
his wife Sita, both the epitome of heroic righteousness, struggle against
a host of obstacles, including the demon king Ravana. Eventually, they
triumph—Rama slays Ravana and he is returned to his kingdom. The
saga has spread from India across the varied cultures of Southeast Asia
adopting colorful local influences. The Ramayana Project is a celebration
of these shared roots and traditions. Combining dance, drama and music
this cross-cultural collaboration of the Ramayana demonstrates the power
of perseverance and the victory of good over evil. Something we could
all use a little bit more of these days. 10 a.m. & 8 p.m., May
27; 8 p.m. May 28; 2 p.m. May 29. $5 - $15. Anne Simley Theatre, 1536

I'll start with a kosher topic Bill.
Anyone have some experiences/testimonials to share about the FO picks? I'm thinking of purchasing the premium package and the picks would definitely be a contributing factor in that decision.
Are they good picks? What sort of options do you get every week?

(The original near-complete album is also offered in this auction; please see the lot description for full details.) This Wagner signature example, which is flawless in its execution, is accentuated by the many additional comments added by the legendary 'Flying Dutchman.' The fully inscribed page, scripted in blue fountain pen, reads in full: Aug 20 � 33 � With best wishes � J Honus Wagner � Pirates � Born Feb 24-1874 � Age 59.' Both the signature and text are impeccable and grade a perfect '10.' Wagner was serving his first season as a coach with the Pirates in 1933. Research indicates the Pirates were in Boston for a four-game series with the Braves from August 19th through August 22nd in 1933. August 20th was a Sunday, and O'Meara, who resided in Providence, Rhode Island, obviously chose the weekend to make the short journey to Boston and meet Wagner. The trip was obviously worth it, for this is one of the finest Wagner signature examples we have ever seen and certainly one of the great highlights in O'Meara's album. The page (5.5 x 4.5 inches) has been neatly removed from the original album and is in Near Mint condition. Encapsulated by Beckett Grading Services in conjunction with James Spence Authentication. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+. SOLD FOR $1,410

Rangers Place Yu Darvish On 15 Day DL
BALTIMORE -- The Texas Rangers will place Yu Darvish on the 15-day disabled list Thursday because of a mild strain in the pitcher's right upper back.
Texas assistant general manager Thad Levine said putting Darvish on the DL during the All-Star break will allow Darvish to sit for two weeks and skip just one start while resting the bothersome trapezius muscle.
"At this stage, it's not something we're really worried about," Levine said. "We think it's probably a little bit more fatigue than anything. It will put him in the best position to hit the ground running in the second half. Based upon [this being] retroactive to his last start, he would be eligible to come off on [July] 22, which is the first game against the Yankees, and it's our hope and expectation that he'll be on the mound for that game."

Featured Golf News
North Carolina's Yadkin Valley Launches Golf & Winery Packages
Fairways, chardonnays and cabernets are coming together to form a new golf destination in North Carolina.
Cross Creek Country Club
The "Yadkin Valley Golf Experience" launches this March with travel packages combining golf, lodging, and winery visits in North Carolina's burgeoning wine country. The Yadkin Valley, located about 45 minutes northwest of Winston-Salem, features more than 30 wineries and a number of highly-regarded golf courses.
"When people think of this area, they think of fine wines and lush vineyards, but really it's a great destination for golf, too," said Surry County tourism director Chris Knopf.
In its first year, the Yadkin Valley Golf Experience will be anchored by three courses: Cedarbrook Country Club in Elkin, Cross Creek Country Club in Mount Airy, and Olde Beau Golf & Country Club in Roaring Gap.
The idea behind this type of packaging is that traveling golfers and wine lovers are often one and the same. And even when they're not, these visitors probably have a spouse or significant other who is a wine enthusiast.
Typical golf industry packages include lodging and daily golf. In the Yadkin Valley, golfers receive those staples and a voucher for a complimentary winery tour/tasting at one of the participating wineries. Additional winery tours - or a pass to the Andy Griffith Museum in the actor's hometown of Mount Airy - can be added for a nominal fee.
"We've actually seen quite a bit of interest from couples, where one is interested in golf and the other is interested in the Yadkin Valley wine region. And maybe they're interested in the Mayberry attractions, too," Knopf said. "It's a well-rounded trip for everyone in your group."
Olde Beau general manager Tommy Maines believes the timing is perfect for this type of golf-packaging service. "I like that we're getting the jump on this," Maines said. "We feel this is something really unique that will draw the type of golf clientele that is also interested in the wine country."
On the wine side, Shelton Vineyards in Dobson headlines a quartet of participating wineries, with more expected to come on board. Shelton is the largest family-owned estate winery in the Tar Heel State.
Grassy Creek Vineyards of Elkin is also in the rotation, along with Old North State Winery in Mount Airy and Round Peak Vineyards in Mount Airy.
Lodging comes in a range of options. There are two-bedroom villas and cottage homes at Olde Beau; the Hampton Inn & Suites Shelton Vineyards; the Fairfield Inn & Suites Elkin; and the Hampton Inn Mount Airy.
"We also have a lot of great restaurants in this area that are a direct result of the wine industry," Knopf said.
Golfers have the option of choosing one of two pre-planned packages, or creating custom packages tailored to their particular desires.
The packages start at $305 per person, based on double occupancy. They include three rounds of golf (with cart), two nights lodging, winery tour, gratuity and tax.
"We've talked often about the potential from wine country visitors," said Zim Zimmerman, Cedarbrook's head golf professional. "A lot of people who are into the wine industry also have a set of clubs. We want more of them playing golf in the Yadkin Valley."
The Tourism Partnership of Surry County is taking requests for the golf packages through www.YadkinValleyGolf.com, or by calling toll-free at 855/398-4653.

Oklahoma City police arrested Jacob Parnell for allegedly kicking his son in the stomach for making spelling mistakes at school.
According to a police report, Parnell kicked his son out of anger. The little boy told police, "(He) gets very mad at me when I do bad at school or if I talk too much at home."
The report goes on to say Parnell would punch the boy in both his sides if he continued to misspell words.
Police said Parnell also kicked another 3-year-old son in the back, causing the child to cut his lip.
Officers arrested Parnell on two counts of child abuse. He has since bonded out of jail.

Could dairy farms return to El Paso County?
The challenge of local farmers
EL PASO, Texas - A Texas legislator is looking to bring a once multimillion dollar business back to El Paso County.
Dairy farms in El Paso county were banned in the early 2000s. Recurring bovine tuberculosis cases in West Texas spurred the ban, and by 2003 not a single dairy farm remained.
This year, Rep. Mary Gonzalez is looking to return dairy farms to El Paso County. She's filed legislation to repeal a ban on dairy permits. The legislation also calls for further research of bovine TB.
"There are dairy farms a few miles away from the El Paso, New Mexico border and a few miles away in Hudspeth County," said Gonzalez. "TB doesn't know boundaries. If they're TB-free there is a strong possibility El Paso County would be TB-free too."
Gonzalez points to Mexico, telling ABC-7 that the country doesn't have an issue with TB in their cattle. Further, she states that they've upped their standards for cattle farms in Mexico to match the same standards held in the United States.
While dairy farms aren't allowed in El Paso County, not everyone has given up.
In the late 90s, dairy farming in El Paso County was worth nearly $40 million annually. Among the dairy farms, the historic Licon Dairy in San Elizario. In order to make asadero cheese the family relies on fresh milk. To keep their doors open, they used buyout money from the USDA to purchase a new farm in Hudspeth County.
"Not everyone did," said Angel Licon. "Some dairies didn't continue business just because of the feed. It was a big change."
Perhaps the biggest change for the Licon family was the daily trips to, and from, Fort Hancock. Each day at least one family member makes a 50 mile trek to their farm to bring home more than 100 gallons of milk to make the next day's cheese.
"It's not the same as it was," said Licon.
While farming cattle more than 50 miles from your factory can bring unique challenges, Licon tells ABC-7 that even if the rules change they may not be able to move back. According to Licon, the cost of moving from San Elizario to Fort Hancock was great. He said it would cost even more today to move back. If they moved, it may not happen for more than a decade.

Blake Harrison thinks The Inbetweeners 2 film will mark the end of the series.
The 28-year-old actor reprises his role as Neil Sutherland in the spin-off movie and he reckons that while he was excited to film the sequel, he thinks his and co-stars' characters are getting too old.
Asked whether he enjoyed reprising the role, he told Metro: "Who wouldn't want to film in Australia? That helped to decide. I think it will be the last one, though, that's the plan.
"The reason these characters work is because their energy is so young. The stuff they do entails teenagers being idiots. Getting into your twenties and being an idiot. No one wants to see that."
Blake added that he found it easy to slip back into the schoolboy mindset when joining up with castmates Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and James Buckley.
He said: "It's like putting on an old pair of shoes. When you've done it for so long, he's so familiar you can play a bit more with it.
"I think all Neil ever wants is a laugh, he doesn't want anything cultured. Neil is all about girls and booze and having a laugh."
The Inbetweeners 2 will be released in cinemas on August 8.

Those changes included the Sixers opting to use their amnesty clause on Brand, who was claimed by the Dallas Mavericks late Friday. Dallas' winning bid was reportedly $2.1 million, but Brand still will be paid the full $18.1 million he is owed. The Sixers will pay the balance, but the money will not count against the salary cap.

Decreasing the Cost of Flooding
Accurate flood maps can save property and lives in landscape
architect-designed projects.
By James L. Sipes, ASLA, and Kimberly A. Sipes
Floods inflict more damage and economic losses on the United
States than any other natural disaster. Perhaps one reason is that more than 30
million Americans live in areas that have a high risk of flooding.
During the 10 years from October 1992 through October 2001,
flooding caused more than 900 deaths and resulted in approximately $55 billion
in damages. The greatest loss was in 2005, when loss payments totaled $17.4
billion, in large part because of flooding caused by hurricanes Katrina, Rita,
and Wilma.
Limitations with Flood Mapping
Why is flooding such a big problem? One reason is that
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps, which are intended to
define areas that are "safe" from flooding, are outdated and inaccurate. Flood
maps have been produced and used for 35 years, and many have not been updated in
years. According to FEMA, nearly 70 percent of the nation's approximately
92,222 flood maps are more than 10 years old, and many of these maps no longer
accurately reflect current flood hazard risks. As a result, development is
occurring in areas that should be restricted because of flooding hazards. FEMA
made an effort to transfer its paper maps to digital format in the 1990s,
creating what's known as the Q3 flood data. This Q3 data has been the
foundation for many design and planning decisions over the years. But landscape
architects using Q3 flood data are using outdated information.
To be blunt, there are many problems associated with Q3
flood data. The horizontal control of Q3 flood data is consistent with that
used for 1:24000 scale maps, which is acceptable for community and regional
scale planning projects but is not useful for site-scale projects.

The replacement for the PSP is indeedpresented as the console the most " friendly "to developersever created the Japanese firm. In repentance, Sony claims to havelearned from past mistakes (probably making reference to criticismfrom the production made against the PS3).The Sony machinewill not be difficult to program in the future promises the consolemakers, and would no longer have to drag a bad reputation in theheart of the studios. We remember especially the intervention of GabeNewell in late 2007, when the valve boss said: " We end up beinga PS3 game is a real drain . "Ok, he has since returned to hisjacket, but it's still chaos.
This is not the first time that Sonyrefers to the fact that the PS Vita has been designed to be easy toprogram. What will be important to encourage studios to be prolificon this new laptop, and even more if one considers only the consoletouch open on PSN, Sony has much to attract small independent studiosand to enrich its catalog small downloadable games to competitiveprices. Titles that attract gamers typically " portable "andthus compete with its new enemies such as smartphones and tablets. Areal challenge!

Current Shepherd University Students
A Shepherd student must apply for transfer approval to take a non-Shepherd University course prior to enrollment at another institution. To apply for transfer approval, the student must be in good academic standing (institutional and overall GPA of 2.0 or above). No course that a student has attempted at another institution while on suspension shall be accepted by Shepherd University. A student who previously enrolled in a Shepherd University course may not retake that course or its equivalent at another institution. Courses fulfilling major, minor, or teaching field requirements are rarely approved for off-campus enrollment.
To receive credit for a non-Shepherd course, a permission/approval form ( green form) must be obtained from the Registrar's Office prior to registration at the other institution . The student will follow all procedures enumerated on that form, including signatures of approval from the department chair of the discipline where the equivalent Shepherd course is offered, and from the student's faculty advisor. After obtaining the appropriate signatures, the student submits the completed form to the Registrar's Office.
If the transfer form is not approved for any reason, the student may petition the Admissions and Credits committee for an exception to academic policy regarding the transfer of those credits.
Articulation agreements do not apply to any repeated Shepherd University course in which a student has received a grade of D or F, or W. No Shepherd University D or F grade can be replaced by an equivalent transfer course
Once you have completed an approved course at another institution, you must have an official transcript sent to the Office of the Registrar at the address below. No credits will be posted based on an unofficial transcript of any kind.
Prospective Students
First , you must have an official transcript sent to Shepherd by your previous school. No credits will be evaluated or posted based on an unofficial transcript of any kind. The Office of Admissions and the Office of the Registrar work together with the academic departments to evaluate your credits in an expeditious manner, and will make every effort to have an evaluation ready for you by the time you attend an advisement/registration session. There are exceptions, of course: if your official transcripts are delayed for any reason, for example, or if your credits require additional review by multiple department chairpersons.
Second , you must declare a major because different majors impose special restrictions. If you change majors, by the way, the way your transfer credits apply to your new degree program may also change!
Third , after receiving your evaluation from the Office of Admissions, you may believe that some of your courses, which may have transferred as elective only, are very much like Shepherd's courses. Take a copy of your transcript, a catalog description of your course, and a course syllabus, and go to the chairperson of the department which offers the comparable course at Shepherd. Explain the course and be prepared to answer questions about what you learned. If the chairperson decides that it is a satisfactory substitute for the Shepherd course, he or she will send the appropriate form to the Office of the Registrar.
Unfortunately, I earned some lousy grades at the school I'm transferring from. Will these show on my Shepherd transcript?
I've taken a couple of different 4-credit lab science courses at the various schools I'm transferring from. Do I still need to do another full 8-credit sequence from the General Studies listing in the catalog?
The chair of the department offering your program may be able to give you some preliminary and unofficial information too. You can see department names and send e-mail to chairs HERE.

There are many factors that may increase the chances for infection of the kidneys and urinary tract. Premenopausal women are at higher risk for developing UTI and kidney infection. Risk factors within this population include: Sexual intercourse (for women -- may increase the risk of urinary tract infection because of possible introduction of the bacteria around the urethra into the urinary system [a condition sometimes referred to as "honeymoon cystitis"]) Previous urinary tract infection Use of spermicides History of mother with recurrent UTIs (which suggests a possible genetic component to susceptibility) Pregnancy In fact, some pregnant women may have urinary infections during their pregnancy. This may occur because of slower transit of urine in the ureters during pregnancy from the pressure applied by the enlarging uterus. In post-menopausal women, physiological factors (vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and prolapse of the pelvic organs) seem to add potential risk to develop UTIs and kidney infections. In men, prostate enlargement is the main risk factor for UTI and kidney infection. Urinary catheters (Foley catheters) also increase the risk of developing urinary and kidney infections. These catheters are used in settings where an individual may not be able to urinate due to paralysis (neurogenic bladder), severe illness, bed bound state, incontinence of urine (inability to hold their urine), or bladder dysfunction. Urinary catheters simply provide a physical vehicle for the bacteria from outside to be directly transported into the bladder and the urinary system. Kidney stones and other structural abnormalities of the urinary system may also cause kidney infection. Impaired draining and blockage of urine may cause bacteria to ascend to the kidney without being washed back down with the urine. Any obstruction to the flow of urine can serve as a focus of infection that can spread to other parts of the urinary tract. Urinary stents placed in ureters to relieve obstruction due to stones or tumors are also a potential risk for kidney infection. As matter of fact, any instrumentation or procedure of the urinary system (stenting, cystoscopy, biopsy, and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can pose a risk for infection of the urinary tract. Diabetes mellitus may also increase the risk of kidney infection in both men and women. In children, risk factors for kidney infection include female gender, uncircumcised male, structural abnormalities of the urinary tract, and Caucasian race (four times higher than African American).

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Julianne Hough
- 2010
Summer Lovin'
After stepping out with comedian Dane Cook, Hough, 21, is spotted getting cozy all over Los Angeles with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, 35. "Things have gotten more serious over the last month," a source tells PEOPLE of the couple. "They're perfect for each other."
Burlesque Babe
Before tackling a leading role in Footloose, Hough makes her big screen debut as a backup dancer in Burlesque, starring opposite Christina Aguilera and Cher. "I still had fun and got to take in all the amazing people who were cast and grow from that," she tells USA Today of choosing to play a supporting role for her first film.
- 2011
Cutting Loose
Hough steps into her first leading role as Ariel Moore in the remake of 1984's Footloose. "I'm usually so formed for [ballet] barre dancing," she tells Elle of her big screen departure. "But it was more freestyle…in hot, tight jeans and booty shorts."
- 2012
Rock Star
Hough puts her dancing shoes to work as small town girl turned stripper Sherrie Christian in the big-screen adaptation of Broadway musical Rock of Ages, costarring Tom Cruise. "That was my first scene with him!" she tells Glamour of having to work a stripper pole alongside the actor. "I was nervous as all get-out, but after every take he high-fived me and was like, 'That was awesome.'"
- 2013
Confessions on a Dance Floor
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Hough reveals she suffered child abuse while studying dance at London's Italia Conti Academy of Arts. "I was 10 years old looking like I was 28, being a very sensual dancer," she tells the publication. "I was a tormented little kid who had to put on this sexy façade because that was my job and my life ... [but] I was this innocent little girl."
Single Lady
Following a two-year romance, Hough and Seacrest split, with sources telling PEOPLE the couple's demanding schedules led to the breakup. In the days afterward, the actress takes to social media to express her emotions, sharing a photo with girlfriends captioned "#friendsarethebesttherapy."
A Poor Choice
Hough attends a Beverly Hills Halloween party sporting blackface for her costume, Orange Is the New Black character "Crazy Eyes." After her appearance causes controversy, the actress Tweets, "It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize."
- 2014
Ready for Love
After briefly dating director Ari Sandel, Hough steps out holding hands with hockey player Brooks Laich. "I'm a relationship girl, and I feel so grateful for the ones I've been in," she tells Self. "They've been excellent – I've been hurt but never angry – and they've helped me grow."
Judgment Day
She's a perfect 10! Hough announces that she'll be returning home to Dancing with the Stars as the show's fourth judge and makes her debut during the Sept. 15 season 19 premiere. "My role is to encourage and be supportive, and to also be candid and honest and try not to beat around the bush, to be too politically correct," she tells PEOPLE. "I want to give critiques so they can improve."

Audimatic (Audible Doctor x maticulous) - Closer
For some artists, making a dope song can be hit or miss, while others never truly hit ever. For duo Audible Doctor and maticulous, however, its Audimatic. The twosome prove this on Closer, an excellently well-constructed new single. We here at The DJBooth are suckers for a good soul sample, so it's no wonder that we're in love with maticulous' production, which features the vocals of R&B legend Otis Redding sprinkled atop a breezy, refreshing instrumental. With the heartfelt production behind him, the Doctor writes some verbal prescriptions for those suffering from a lack of genuine, story-telling verses. No specific plans have been announced for a larger project, but expect to hear more from this duo soon, as a new single is on the way.

Singapore opens its doors and welcomes industry insiders and tech savvy specialists to CommunicAsia2009, one of Asia's largest International Communications and Information Technology Exhibitions, set to be held from June 16th-19that the Singapore Expo. In conjunction with this exhibition, Agoda.com, an online hotel booking service, has secured deals at a variety of Singapore hotels for those looking to attend the conference and take in a little of Singapore's famed shopping.
CommunicAsia2009, which includes EnterpriseIT2009 and InteractiveDME, is expected to draw over 50,000 business and trade professionals, over 1,500 exhibiting companies, as well as delegates from more than 65 countries worldwide. During the frenzied four days, Singapore Expo becomes Asia's one-stop technology platform allowing international visitors to check out the latest technological trends at 22 international pavilions and network with some of the industry's biggest names.
The WiMAX, IPTV and Mobile Entertainment segments were the most popular attractions during 2008's exhibition, drawing huge crowds. These areas are set to return in 2009, with "hot" new technology additions like Navigation and Location-based Services, Femtocell and Green IT, all of which are expecting to garner major interest.
Mr. Wilfred Fan, Vice President of Agoda commented, "Singapore will be a busy place in the coming months with a plethora of events occurring in the city-state. CommunicAsia2009 is the center stage for technology professionals and Singapore is sure to enhance its reputation as Asia's hub for international business during the exhibition. Agoda has been able to secure some great rates on accommodations for the event's duration but we're recommending travelers to reserve their hotel rooms early, by checking Agoda's hot Singapore hotels for CommunicAsia. With an event this popular, rooms tend to sell out quickly."
Agoda's special hotel deals and promotions for CommunicAsia2009 include
ORCHARD (20-minute drive from Singapore Expo and Singapore Changi Airport)
EAST COAST (8-minute drive from Singapore Expo and 10-minute drive from Singapore Changi Airport)
MARINA BAY/ FINANCIAL DISTRICT (15-minute drive from Singapore Expo and 20-minute drive from Singapore Changi Airport)

Windows won't start
After installing a new router (Linksys/Cisco EA4500) and the Cisco Connect router software, I cannot boot into Windows. After the POST screen, just as the computer re;ports "Starting Windows ...", the screen goes blank.
I tried to boot with the MS Windows 7 installation disk, but it reports it could not find a problem.
My next step would be to go into Safe Mode and remove the router, but Safe Mode just brings me back to the blank screen.
I've never run into this before. Any possible theories?
Cheers, XXXXX XXXXX

Hello and welcome to JustAnswer. I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.
As you probably know, Safe Mode only starts the most necessary drivers and background programs, so if you are unable even to get into Safe Mode, I'm afraid that indicates a corruption of some sort of the Windows OS (despite what the disk says). Anytime you are having problems in regular mode but are able to get into Safe Mode, then that indicates a problem with a program or driver that's starting int he background. But anytime you are also having issues with Safe Mode then that indicates a problem with Windows itself.
Also, unfortunately, if you can't get into Safe Mode then your options will be fairly limited as that takes away most of your troubleshooting tools.
The first thing you'll want to do is attempt to get into the Advanced Boot Menu (which may be how you attempted to get into Safe Mode earlier). To do so, reboot your computer as soon as it starts coming up--BEFORE you get to the Windows logo--repeatedly tap the F8 key.
There are two things we want to look for in the menu that, if available, you will want to try:
1. Last Known Good Configuration
2. Start Up Repair (which may be listed as Repair Your Computer)
If these options are not available, or if they are not successful in resolving your issue, then your only other option would be to back up your data by connecting the hard drive to a different computer and then reinstalling Windows via your OS disc.
I wish I had better news for you, but when most of the troubleshooting tools are not available, reinstalling is the only thing you can do. If you have any other questions on this, just let me know. And please remember to click the ACCEPT button for me before you run so that I am credited for assisting you.

Hi ChrisC --
Thanks for your thoughtful answer.
I tried the Last Known Good Configuration, and it didn't work; there is no option for either Startup repair or Repair your computer.
I tried several data-recovery programs (Search and Recover, Prosoft Data Rescue and a partition-recovery tool that I mugged a local techie for) and they didn't work, though I have not exhausted all the possibilities.
Would that sound like bad news for your idea of backing up my data by connecting the hard drive to a different computer and then reinstalling Windows via my OS disc?
replied 4 years ago.
That's strange regarding the data-recovery programs and could indicate a problem with the hard drive. If in fact the hard drive is failing then recovering your data could prove to be difficult. However, the only way to know that would be to connect the hard drive to a separate computer and see if it shows up in the drive list under Computer. If it does, then you should able to copy over all your files that you want to keep, put the drive back into the original machine, and then reinstall Windows.
If in fact the data is irretrievable due to a hardware issue with the drive then I'm afraid your only solution there will be to replace the drive and then reinstall Windows via your installation disc (I'll keep my fingers crossed that this isn't the case!).
One other thing: Just an FYI, if you can't get your data off but there are files on there that you absolutely, positively can't afford to lose then there are services that specialize in retrieving data from "dead" drives, though it often costs $200 or more to have the process done.
If you have any other questions on this, just let me know. And please remember to click ACCEPT for me before you run.

What I don't understand is that this all happened because (or as a coincidence to) installing a new router.
Since I last chatted with you, I ran another tool with one of my recovery disks, and it started reporting a series of problems:
Error 187 reading sector 54540112
and every time I chicked "ignore" ("retry" didn't work), it skmply m oved to the n ext sector up, so it went
Error 187 reading sector 54540112 to 117
and so on.
It makes me think I should run CHKDSK., but alas, I can't even get a system prompt.
replied 4 years ago.
Hmm, that indicates that there is indeed a problem with the hard drive. As you probably know, the hard drive platters are made broken down into thousands of "sectors" that hold information.
Based upon the info you've given, I have to believe that this issue is coincidental and wasn't caused by any kind of software install. Though it is possible that somehow the software install "exposed" a problem that has been on the verge of coming to light.
Remember that hard drives are mechanical objects that include a fair number of moving parts. It's always an issue of when--not if--they will fail.
I do hate to hear that your having this issue, though. I know it's a major bummer.
Ask Your Own Computer Question
replied 4 years ago.
Well, ChrisC, thanks for your help, dispiriting as it was.
I'll see what I can do. But there are a hell of a lot of important files on that disk ... And I was changing the router because my backup service was having problems getting access to the computer in the first place. So the cure just made the matter worse, not better.
Thanks everso.
replied 4 years ago.
Good luck with it, J.
As I mentioned before, if necessary, there are data recovery services that may be able to get files off the drive even in a dying state, but they'll charge you for it.
Have a good day and sorry this happened!
