The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

The True Strength of Creatine
Highly researched, creatine monohydrate has been shown to support muscle strength, power, and size when combined with high-intensity activities. Our Micronized Creatine Powder is made with Creapure, a creatine monohydrate known for its exceptional purity. It's also micronized (to make the particles smaller), so our powder mixes easier and stays suspended in liquid longer than non-micronized creatine supplements.
Suggested Use
Add 1 rounded teaspoon of Micronized Creatine Powder to a glass filled with 8-12 oz of cold water or fruit juice. Then mix it up with a spoon. Tip: Power-up protein, meal-replacement, and weight-gainer shakes with a rounded teaspoon of Micronized Creatine Powder.
Creatine Loading: Take 1 rounded teaspoon of Micronized Creatine Powder with morning, afternoon, and evening meals and 1 additional rounded teaspoon before going to bed for 4-5 days.
Creatine Maintenance: Take 1 rounded teaspoon with a meal or immediately after training with your post-workout protein shake.
Tips: Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily when supplementing with creatine. Consuming simple carbohydrates with creatine may help improve overall effectiveness.

Given the conditions the chicken is supposedly sold under, I think I'd try it. I've put my system through worse.
I don't know...would you go for it?
Given the conditions the chicken is supposedly sold under, I think I'd try it. I've put my system through worse.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
I eat raw everything else (except pork)...but my personal "squig" factor is high on this one.
Might need a couple of drinks first
I agree. I am not opposed to the IDEA of it, but getting over the old thoughts of raw chicken I would have a hard time. I do eat raw 'dough' though which has eggs in it. Like back in teh old days cookie dough and now with my primal baked goods for hte kids. I also eat raw beef...mmmm....lol
Fish are pretty clean things, and most fish eaten raw is pretty firm. Beef cattle are pretty big--I suppose the inside is pretty clean; I love good raw beef. Pork I can handle pink, but the idea of uncooked pork is really unappealing.
But birds are filthy creatures, I don't care what conditions they are raised in. And raw bird flesh is just ... ew. Texture-wise it's creepy.
Ew ew ew.
C'mon, its just a matter of good handling practices. The threat in raw chicken comes from salmonella, which is present on the skin. If they have a way to remove the skin without transferring any salmonella to the flesh then I'd be happy to try it.
FWIW, I've eaten raw prawns (shrimp) and the raw guts of cuttlefish among many other raw meats and fish. Haven't had a bad one yet. Water, on the other hand, is far more dangerous, as is food contaminated by fresh water
My dog eats raw chicken daily, but I've never pulled a bowl up next to him lol.
"Live Free or Die"
I often eat chicken raw - never done me any harm...
Oh wait... Maybe that's half me problem...
I'm probably not the best advert for this...
La tristesse durera toujours...
I've had raw chicken in Japan and raw pork mixed with jungle herbs on the Thai/Myanmar border, and I lived to tell about it. Most of the danger lies in factory farming production techniques and the resulting unhealthiness of the animals. People who eat this are not eating just any old worn out Tyson's laying hen.
At the same time, they were kind of gross! Not my thing really. Raw horse (Southern Japan), on the other hand, I'd eat again any day.

Angelina Jolie has filled a lot of shoes in her acting career, but can she walk like an Egyptian?
Let's hope so: The bombshell is one producer's top pick to play the Queen of the Nile. Oscar-winning producer Scott Rudin has purchased the film rights to the biography Cleopatra: A Life, USA Today reports. Rudin's office confirmed to the newspaper that the film "is being developed for and with Jolie."
But can Jolie compete with Elizabeth Taylor, who portrayed the smoldering Egyptian queen in 1963? Cleopatra: A Life author Stacy Schiff thinks so. "Physically, she's the perfect look," she says.
Since it's not a done deal, PEOPLE wants to give other beauties a chance:
Will Angelina Jolie Make the Best Cleopatra?

To reiterate my previous post, unelected officials, who represent each affected taxing district on a Joint Review Board, during the initial phases of the Rockford Tax Increment Finance approval process, typically do not inform their district�s elected officials of the scheduled state mandated JRB meetings and then fail to attend the meetings themselves.
Taxpayers are thus provided little or no representation at the JRB meetings, despite the fact that TIF approval affects area property taxes for 23 years.
The tax revenue diverted from the taxing districts to Rockford�s TIF Fund is off budget to the affected district�s Finance Committees, ...

The commission said it has "reasonable grounds" to suspect the carriers engaged in collusive practices to fix incremental cargo rates from Asia to South Africa.
The terminal's two berths became available earlier in 2016 when a lease with a bulk cargo operator ended, and although the port is mainly interested in responses to import/export bulk cargo, it will consider opportunities for other marine-dependent uses.

The now insolvent South Korean ocean carrier released a status update Monday on the 97 vessels it operates, which illustrated that 59 of these vessels are still waiting in open sea.
There is no shortage of technology for carriers and other parties in the ocean industry, but in the wake of the Hanjin mess, the question is what carriers should invest in.
The London-based shipping research and consulting firm said that as currently planned, "The Alliance" will be "at a size disadvantage," making up 24 percent of East-West capacity.

America's Disappeared: Secret Imprisonment, Detainees, and the "War on Terror"
Rachel Meeropol
Featuring detainee testimonies and analysis by Reed Brody, Barbara Olshansky, Michael Ratner, and Steven Macpherson Watt
America's Disappeared: Secret Imprisonment, Detainees and the "War on Terror" features first person accounts by individuals who have experienced the horrors of executive detention, including former Guantnamo detainees Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal; Maher Arar, the Canadian citizen the United States sent to Syria to be interrogated and tortured for nearly a year; and many other non-citizens who were wrongly swept up in the post-9/11 terrorism investigations. These narratives appear alongside political and legal analysis of the Bush Administrations controversial post-9/11 detention practices.
The confirmation proceedings for Alberto R. Gonzales and Condeleeza Rice, like the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, have triggered a national debate about the U.S. government's controversial treatment of detainees and its practice of torture. At the heart of the debate is the question, "Is the United States undermining democracy, freedom, and human rights in its effort to protect its citizens from terrorism?" The authors of America's Disappeared answer, "Yes."
America's Disappeared describes how the U.S. government, in response to the events of 9/11, launched an unprecedented campaign of racial profiling, detentions, and deportations so grievous as to evoke the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Thousands have been imprisoned without trial or any kind of judicial hearing. Thousands remain indefinitely detained without charges being brought against them. Some are tortured; others are shipped off to other countries to be tortured. This book brings together, for the first time, detainees own testimonies along with analysis by the leading constitutional attorneys and human rights advocates. In addition to a detailed exploration of detention—the forms currently in use, and the conditions of each—the book challenges the Bush administrations justifications for violating the Geneva Conventions and the most basic definitions of human rights.
"To read America's Disappeared is to be moved by the personal stories of human beings plucked out of our midst, tortured, kept away from family, from legal counsel, from the world. To read these stories is to be shocked by the way our constitutional rights have been violated again and again, with the government justifying this as a 'war on terrorism'. The essays in this collection not only confront us with the human reality of the detentions at Guantnamo and the tortures of Abu Ghraib. They also scrutinize and dissect the legal arguments of the government, as it tries to defend the indefensible. This volume informs us as it angers us, and provokes us to act in whatever way we can to bring democracy alive in our country." —Howard Zinn
"America's Disappeared is a strong, eloquent and necessary book, one that presents its readers with a challenge and a charge to not sit by and allow the juggernaut of the Bush Administration to roll over our Constitution, our human rights, and our fellow human beings." —Lewis H. Lapham, Editor of Harper's Magazine
"Here are further proofs, as though any more were needed, of what a loathsome nation we've become." —Kurt Vonnegut

It's a bonus episode with the amazing Crispin Glover! He talks about the commercialization and propaganda of movies, the controversial lawsuit over Back to the Future, how different the '80s would have been for him if he had the Internet to release projects and tell his side of stories, and his new film The Bag Man!
Nerdist Podcast: Crispin Glover
Of course, what a magnificent blog and instructive posts, I definitely will bookmark your site.Have an awsome day!
Excellent post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this topic? I'd be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Kudos!
you're actually a good webmaster. The website loading pace is incredible. It seems that you're doing any distinctive trick. In addition, The contents are masterpiece. you have done a excellent job on this matter!
Thanks for giving your ideas in this article. The other point is that any time a problem takes place with a laptop motherboard, folks should not take the risk regarding repairing that themselves because if it is not done properly it can lead to permanent damage to the full laptop. Most commonly it is safe to approach any dealer of a laptop with the repair of its motherboard. They've already technicians who've an know-how in dealing with mobile computer motherboard troubles and can have the right diagnosis and conduct repairs.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any points for first-time blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.
I have been reading out some of your stories and i must say pretty good stuff. I will surely bookmark your blog.
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read something like this before. So good to search out somebody with some authentic thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this web site is one thing that's needed on the web, someone with a bit of originality. helpful job for bringing something new to the web!
hello there and thank you for your information – I have definitely picked up anything new from right here. I did however expertise a few technical issues using this website, since I experienced to reload the site lots of times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your hosting is OK? Not that I am complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will very frequently affect your placement in google and can damage your quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and could look out for a lot more of your respective intriguing content. Make sure you update this again very soon..
I enjoyed this episode completely. Crispin is eccentric, but definitely not "insane". His film What is it? Is very shocking, but it seems that was the whole purpose. I'm glad someone like Crispin got to talk about everything that happened to him in the film industry as he navigated his way through it, and I thank Chris for being polite and hearing what he had to say. Good job on this one!
Crispin Glover is an amazing individual. He did after knock Tom Wilson of Big Pop Fun Fame on his preverbal backside. Need I mention the brilliance of Willard. And how could one forget the shear genius that is Ruben & Ed?! And leave those who work very hard to free entertainment alone! I beg of thee! Chris Hardwick is Awesome! We have not have not had the blessed opportunity to meet. I say we, for I am a quite the delight. My name is Judd Harris, I wish not to hide behind monikers that display my amenity, for I want the world, and of course Chris Hardwick @nerdist, to gaze upon my attempt to defend those who may need it, and to add strength to those who may not actually ask for but will receive it all same! For I am, THE GREAT DEFENDER! (Patten Pending)
Long in the tooth but incredibly informative. This guy is an absolute American Treasure.
Well I have to say that I had no idea what Crispin was like or his story. I knew he was in back to the future. What a guy. I thought at first, "wow this guy is manic" but honestly he just seems authentic and comfortable with that. He's a really intelligent guy. As for the comment about corporations and Crispin needing to do research, he did and you sound like a tool for making that comment. He was spot on and still acknowledged that he is part of the system. Best way to reform is from within. Thanks for posting this podcast.
Very thought provoking and insightful on both our fabulous interviewer and interviewee! Thank you for this.
Crispin and anyone that agrees with him on his "Corporations" tirades needs to study economics. Preferably they need to at least have a familiarity with the concept of economic freedom.
That is for giving Crispin H Glover a moment to offer his side of the. TTF story (he got dicked over by producers, any of the original cast wouldve cried foul if they were getting dicked over too, SAG had every right to act in his favor to protect actors) and yeah he's an artist not a celebrity who brown noses politicians
Crispin Glover rocks! Good stuff
Wow. He jumps right in.
Manuel, you do realize you're "good source" is an opinion piece, right?
I listened to it twice in a row. It was that fascinating and there were that many threads to follow to digest it all. Thanks for producing this y'all!
Crispin Glover sounds exactly like Buck Henry…yep, close your eyes…picture Buck Henry.
Is he still strong? Can he still kick?
I didn't know what to expect & thought it was great. I didn't find anything he said to be extreme. He's more committed to art than politics. I do feel that he has been portrayed poorly by BTTF producers & media. Good interview. I feel I understand him better after it so it definitely was time well spent for me.
Here's why Hardwick is a great interviewer when he needs to be. He could have easily jumped all over Glovers mis-understanding of the word "just" and alienated the guest. Glover is clearly a bit hypo-manic and, I suspect ,would have just shut down. Hardwick takes the bump in stride, plays along, lets Glover work through the feelings that have been triggered by the word, and gets a very interesting interview out of it.
You know, I've always thought Crispin Glover was just playing himself in Back to the Future. That's how the media has always portrayed him. It was great to actually get to know the guy a bit better by listening to this podcast. He's fascinating. It's made me really appreciate what a wonderful performance he gave as George McFly.

Dear Tampa,
You did it.
It was only fitting that the Red Sox would come back from an improbable loss to force Game Six, but it had to be done to further the Cinderella season.
The first season of success now is written in the annals with a pivotal victory over the vaunted Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of the ALCS. It's as if the 300 Spartans defeated the Persians in the movie "300," one of the greatest movies ever made in my estimation.
The Red Sox can feel a sense of accomplishment, having come all this way without Curt Schilling and Mike Lowell, the 2008 Fire Brand of the American League award winner. (Check back January 1, 2009 for the 2009 representative.)
The Rays are an incredibly balanced team with average, speed, power, fielding and pitching to completely shut down the opposition. The 2-3-4 hitters (Upton, Pena, Longoria) sent palpitations through my heart every single time through the order, and have to be considered the most feared trio in the major leagues in 2008 and entering 2009.
The Rays' rotation also experiences no let-up, ranging from James Shields to Scott Kazmir to Matt Garza to Andy Sonnastine, and in case that's not enough, Edwin Jackson is more than happy to finish off the spear in your heart.
A lot has been made about how the Red Sox are the new Yankees and how they're the most hated team in baseball these days, but one thing you can never, ever take from us that the Yankees don't have is an appreciation for winning. Look, it took us 86 years.
As much as the media and other teams' fans want to pretend it doesn't exist, we have an appreciation for winning. We know how hard it is. IT TOOK 86 YEARS!
That doesn't disappear with bandwagoning fans or success. No matter how much we may be hated these days, nothing can take away from us the success we have enjoyed during the Theo Epstein regime -- success unprecedented for the Red Sox; for a century at least.
So hate away, non-Sox fans. But deep inside, you know we deserved these two series and you know that we have nothing but appreciation for Rays fans. And honestly? Those that don't have appreciation are so invested in the club (like me) that even if we can't admit it during the heat of the moment (like now)... we know. We know the Rays deserve it. We know the improbable. We know the feeling.
I know it's sexy to make the Sox the most vilified franchise these days. So hate away, but don't ever, EVER suggest that we're the new Yankees. Because we're not.
Congratulations to Tampa. Make us proud in the World Series.
Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays

Convinced that Americans are getting "softer," the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences—National Research Council cut back its recommended daily calorie allowances for adults.
In a revision of the Board's Recommended Dietary Allowances, the calorie requirement of the "reference man" (25 years old, 145 pounds, and moderately active) was reduced to 2,900 calories daily from the 3,200 diet recommended for the same man in 1958.
The diet of the "reference woman" (25 years old, 128 pounds, and moderately active) was lowered to a suggested 2,100 calories per day from the 1958 recommendation of 2,300 calories.
The recommended daily levels for the nutrients thiamin, niacin, and riboflavin, which are based on calorie requirements, were also reduced.
The Food and Nutrition Board's suggested caloric and nutrient allowances are used widely by the armed services, schools, hospitals, summer camps, prisons, and other public and private institutions as a guide

A Jersey City man was stabbed early yesterday morning when a brawl broke out between two women at a house party over a missing wallet, police said.
Called to the Seaview Avenue residence near Kennedy Boulevard at 2:02 a.m., police found paramedics outside treating the 21-year-old victim for a stab wound to the right shoulder and a 19-year-old North Plainfield woman for scratches on her arms, reports said.
The North Plainfield woman told police that after her wallet went missing she got into a fight with a 27-year-old Jersey City woman at the party who tried to tell her that "no one stole her wallet," reports said.
The Jersey City woman was interviewed but not arrested and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
The wounded Jersey City man, who police say was intoxicated at the time of the incident, told police he was stabbed while the women were fighting in the street and did not know who stabbed him, reports said.

His rush to sell this much can only be explained by his knowledge that the GAO would slam APOL for criminal fraud and failure to educate and place as advertised.
See www.tigersoftware.com/TigerBlogs/8-14-2010/index.html
Here he is the 301st richest American, and he still needs to cheat his shareholders. Too harsh. The story has not even come out yet. Littel TigerSoft News points this out, because their Insider Trading Charts pointed it out.
Shareholders should be mad as hell!
This article is a joke. Equating options exercising during open trading periods with insider trading. Company officials are allowed to buy and sell stock, and if they do it is not considered insider trading.
Unless they do it with pre public knowledge available.
This article talks about carbon footprint and other useless information. Whoever wrote it had one intention, to make Peter Sperling look bad for selling a 3% stake. This kind of useless information helps no one.
Typical management shil red herring nonsense.
Fact is APOL's big boss Sterling sold 700,000 right before GAO condemnation of his company was made public. It does not matter if he exercised options or not. He sold a massive number of shares with advance knowledge of the GAO report, I'm betting. That is illegal. He must not trade on material information before it is released. The SEC will here of this. So have the lawyers who are going to make him pay for this, for fraud and for failing to educate.
You can be in denial, all you want, but insiders plus professionals' selling is BAD NEWS is coming down the pike.
Never trust a shil or an executive when you see this pattern.
Doesn't say anything about options related. Think he screw the investors and plans to remain in the top 300. Doesn't plan to go down with the ship.
Help me understand better. Are you saying he traded options in his own company. Is that reported anywhere for insiders. That would be good to know. Thanks.
Did you ever consider that he might have had a 10b5-1 trading plan in place, in which case it is perfectly legal for him to sell as an insider, even if he has material, non-public information regarding the company because the sale was likely pre-arranged months in advance. Based on the fact that several of his sale dates in July were EXACTLY the same dates he sold in July of 2009, I would be willing to wager that such a trading plan is in place.
Before you make these baseless accusations, you need to understand executive compensation and how insiders are allowed to trade.
The truth hurts! APOL is no not be trusted.
He sold vastly more in 2010 right before GAO report was made public than can be explained as "routine" selling. About $35 million I reckon. He had material information which he knew would hurt his stock. He is not allowed to sell before this information is revealed, although there is a well-known loophole he is trying to hide behind.
"Routine" is a well-known loophole for insider traders. Look at the JPM memo advising wealthy insiders how to get around the insider trading law.
The charges of criminal fraud for APOL exactly matches the type of management APOL shows now as they try to pretend his selling means nothing....He sold because he knows the jig is up. Shareholders should be mad as hell as those toadies who dismiss the truth. They cannot handle the truth! His insider selling was sinister self-serving selfishness that makes a mockery of the law and also his duties to public shareholders. His is a public company, not a private castle run by a lawless medieval prince.
Anyone doing a little due dilligence will find reports of insider trading before "dismal 2nd qtr 2008 earnings.
See http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/03/28/insider-trading-foretold-problems-for-apollo-group/
I suggest someone on the inside at APOL that has hard evidence about this illegal insider selling come forth and contact the SEC and claim a big bounty. When the investigation comes, those that did not come forth will have a lot of explaining to do.
Read about INSIDER TRADIING BOUNTY HUNTING at
Don't let the fact that many of these transactions were probably pre-defined in a 10b5-1 trading plan initiated months before the GAO report get in the way of some good fear mongering.
You've earned your way onto my ignore list. Buh-bye.

Last Updated: 02nd November 2013 08:47 PM
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has postponed his visit to cyclone-hit Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, scheduled for Saturday, due to "scheduling issues".
The Prime Minister was to undertake an aerial survey of the two states, hit by cyclone Phailin Oct 12.
"The visit has been postponed due to scheduling issues," PMO sources told IANS.
The prime minister was expected to make some announcement about financial aid.
While reviewing the impact of the cyclone late last month, the prime minister had complimented the efforts of the Odisha and Andhra Pradesh governments as well as relief agencies in managing the cyclone's aftermath.

Information about keeping cattle: tagging, passports and registration, notification of movement and deaths, records, inspections and welfare
Cattle identification and traceability are important for disease control and also for maintaining consumer confidence in farm produce. There are standards and rules for identifying and controlling cattle movement to prevent and trace the spread of disease.
This guide gives you information about what to do after you have moved cattle on to your holding. It explains tagging, passports and registration, notification of new movements and deaths. It also covers on-farm records and inspections as well as cattle welfare during transport and while at market. You will also find information on where to get further advice and support.
New keepers
New keepers of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats must register for a County Parish Holding (CPH) number phoning the Rural Payments Agency on 0345 603 7777.
Cattle identification and cross compliance
To qualify for full payment under the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) and other direct payments - eg the Environmental Stewardship schemes - you must meet all relevant cross compliance requirements. These requirements are split into two types:
- Statutory Management Requirements (SMRs)
- Requirements to keep your land in Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC)
SMRs require farmers to protect habitats and wildlife, manage their soil and water, control chemical use and prevent animal disease. They also specify rules on animal health, welfare and identification.
Cattle identification and registration
The aim of this SMR is to maintain a system for the identification and registration of cattle to help with their traceability, in particular in the event of a disease outbreak. It applies to you if you keep cattle.
You must not remove or replace ear tags without permission from the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) unless they are lost or illegible. You must replace lost or illegible tags, and you must not alter, obliterate or deface an ear tag or alter or deface a cattle passport.
Tagging your cattle
You must ensure that all cattle born on or after 1 January 1998 have an official ear tag in each ear. This is known as 'double tagging'. Each tag must show the same unique number for that animal.
There are two types of ear tag - primary and secondary. The main ear tag, known as the primary ear tag, is a yellow, plastic, two-piece ear tag.
Since 1 January 2000, ear tag numbers must have a specific numeric format. They contain the crown logo, country code, herdmark, individual animal number and check digit. Secondary ear tags can be printed to allow space for management information. This information can include details relevant to a particular animal, such as visual identification, its name or a different unique number. This is useful so you don't need to check that the herd mark and single number check digit match the animal's number, eg for medication. There is no minimum size requirement for secondary tags, so button or metal tags may be used.
You must fit ear tags within 20 days of an animal's birth, with the exception of dairy cattle, which must have at least one tag fitted within 36 hours of birth.
Tagging imported cattle
You must handle imported cattle as follows:
- if they are from another EU member state, they will already be double tagged so you do not need to retag them unless they lose an ear tag
- if they are from outside the EU, you must tag each animal within 20 days of it passing the veterinary checks
All your cattle must be tagged before they leave the holding where they were born. You may also add a barcode, but this isn't required in the UK. Some EU member states have made a bar code mandatory but you can still export cattle without the barcode.
Although a microchip is not part of the official requirements, you can use a microchip in the secondary tag to allow electronic identification of the animal.
Cattle passports and registration
Cattle born in or imported into Great Britain since 1 July 1996 must have a cattle passport. This identifies them and their movements and must remain with them throughout their lives.
Single page passports (CPP52) are issued by the BCMS. The BCMS also runs the Cattle Tracing System (CTS) database, and is responsible for:
- maintaining a register of births, deaths and imports of cattle used for animal health and subsidy control purposes
- issuing cattle passports
- recording individual cattle whereabouts
- operating a dedicated helpline
- providing online services
The cattle passports include:
- details of the animal
- details of where it has been throughout its life
- details of the animal's death
The chequebook-style passport (CPP13) continues for animals born or imported from 28 September 1998 until BCMS started issuing single page passports on 1 August 2011 which should accompany the animal when it moves. These passports also include movement cards which can be sent in when an animal moves on or off a holding if the movement is not notified electronically.
The old style green cattle passport continues for animals registered between 1 July 1996 and 28 September 1998. These cattle were also issued with Certificates of CTS Registration (CHR3) and both their passports and the CHR3 should accompany them whenever they move. Cattle born before 1 July 1996 were issued with a Certificate of Registration (CHR3) only which should accompany the animal when it moves.
How to apply for cattle passports
You must make passport applications within 27 days from the animal's birth. Any application received at BCMS more than 27 days after the birth of a calf will be refused and a Notice of Registration document issued. You may be able to appeal against refusal of a passport under certain exceptional circumstances.
Applications received with missing or invalid information will be issued with a Notice of Registration document 56 days after receipt of the application if full valid information is not received before this time. If subsequent valid information is provided a passport may be issued if the Notice of Registration is returned.
You can apply to the BCMS for your cattle passports using the following methods:
- CTS Online - this is a free, interactive website that is available to all registered cattle keepers in Great Britain.
- CTS Web Services is a facility that is used by a range of farm software packages to feed data directly into CTS. CTS Online and CTS Web Services are two distinct options - one is free, the other requires the user to purchase software from a third party supplier. Both are more reliable than email, as information is sent more securely - with fewer mistakes - due to the early detection feature. Successful transactions will always receive a receipt which will be needed for any helpline queries. There is a list of suppliers and software packages on the BCMS pages of the RPA website.
- The CTS Self Service line is an automated telephone line. You can call the CTS Self Service line on 0345 011 1212.
- The pre-printed application form. (If you apply for 85% or more of your passports using an electronic method you will not automatically receive the application forms).
Read information about how to apply for cattle passports on the BCMS CTS Online website.
Passports for imported cattle
For imports from other EU member states, you must send the animal's EU passports, Export Health Certificate and completed import application form (CPP16) to BCMS within 15 days of the animal's arrival at your holding.
For imports from outside the EU - ie from third countries - you must use form CPP16 to apply for a passport within 15 days of having tagged the animal. You must have tagged it within 20 days of its passing the veterinary checks, or before the animal leaves the holding.
When an animal dies on your holding
If an animal dies on your farm, you must either report the death electronically or complete the death details section of the passport. In either case you must still return the animal's passport to the BCMS within seven days in all cases.
You are not allowed to bury or burn carcasses (other than using an approved incinerator) on your holding. In Great Britain, the only exceptions to the ban are for remote areas in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the Scilly Isles and Lundy Island.
If the animal is over 48 months old you must send it to an approved sampling site so that a brainstem sample can be taken for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) testing.
If for any reason the animal has not been registered, it must still be sent for BSE testing. You can use your local fallen stock collector, or join the National Fallen Stock Scheme run by the National Fallen Stock Company (NFSCo). For more information, call the NFSCo Helpline on 0345 054 8888.
Passport replacements
Cattle passports are valuable documents and should be kept securely. If a passport has been lost, damaged or stolen, you must apply for a replacement from the BCMS within 14 days of becoming aware that the passport is missing. A replacement will be issued providing the animal's movement history can be traced. There is a charge for this service. The charge is £20.
Notification of cattle movements and deaths
If you keep cattle, you will need to follow certain rules on identifying and moving your animals. European and UK law requires notification of when cattle are moved both on and off your farm - known as 'on' and 'off' movements.
Notification of cattle movement
Whenever you move cattle, you must follow the conditions of the General licence for the movement of cattle.
You're legally obliged to notify the BCMS of movements of cattle on or off your holding within three days of the event and within seven days for the death of an animal. You can do this by:
- using CTS Online
- using the CTS Self Service Line
- using a farm software package linked to CTS Web Services
- using the tear-out movement cards in the animal's chequebook-style passport
The details must also be recorded in the movement summary section of the passport.
When an animal goes to a show, you need to report its movements when it leaves and returns to the farm after the show. The show secretary should report the on and off movements for the showground.
Before any movement, you will need to inspect cattle for signs of foot and mouth disease. If you find any evidence of the disease, you must immediately notify your local Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) office.
If you find any evidence of disease, your licence will be cancelled, and you will not be allowed to move any animals on or off the premises.
Notification of cattle deaths
You must notify the BCMS of any cattle deaths on your holding within seven days by either reporting the death electronically or completing the death detail section of the passport, in either case the passport must be returned to the BCMS within seven days of the death. Animals over 48 months old, which die on your farm, must be sent for BSE testing. The TSE cut off slip from the single page passport or a movement card from the cheque-book style passport should be placed in a clear plastic bag and left with the carcass. For further information on the rules and regulations for the death of farm animals, see the guide on fallen stock.
The occupier of a slaughterhouse must notify the death of animals slaughtered on their premises by either reporting the death electronically or completing the death details section of the passport and sending it to BCMS.
If an animal is slaughtered outside a slaughterhouse, but sent to one for dressing, the keeper must either report the death electronically or complete the death details section of the passport. The passport should be sent with the animal to the slaughterhouse. The occupier of the slaughterhouse must notify the death by returning the passport to BCMS. For more information, see the guide on farmed animal welfare at slaughter.
If an animal does not have a cattle passport, the keeper must notify its death to BCMS in writing within seven days, and include the ear tag number, the date of death, and the holding on which it died.
For more information on dealing with fallen stock, see the guide on fallen stock.
Cattle welfare in transport
When moving animals, you must transport them in a way that won't cause them injury or unnecessary suffering.
Whilst EU rules apply to all live, vertebrate animals transported for economic reasons, more stringent elements apply to the transport of farm livestock, such as cattle.
When transporting livestock, you should:
- plan journeys thoroughly and keep the duration to a minimum
- ensure the animals are fit to travel and check them regularly
- ensure vehicle loading and unloading facilities are constructed and maintained to avoid injury and suffering
- ensure those handling animals are competent and don't use violence or any methods likely to cause fear, injury or suffering
- provide sufficient floor space and height allowance
- provide water, feed and rest as needed
For more information, see the guide on farmed animal welfare during transportation.
Fitness for travel
It's illegal to transport an animal that's considered unfit for travel. This includes:
- new-born mammals where the navel has not completely healed
- heavily pregnant females - where more than 90% of the expected gestation period has passed
- females who have given birth during the previous seven days
- sick or injured animals where moving them would cause additional suffering - unless instructed by a vet
Download Defra's guidance on whether animals are fit to travel from the Agricultural Document Library (ADLib) website (PDF, 247K).
Local authorities have primary responsibility for enforcing the rules to protect animals during transportation. Veterinary inspectors from AHVLA also have powers to ensure transporters are following the rules.
Defra collects information about any transporters caught breaking the law from local authorities, AHVLA and authorities abroad. This information is used when deciding whether to grant, suspend or cancel transporter authorisation.
Welfare at market and shows
There is general and specific legislation covering the welfare of animals at markets and shows - in particular Welfare of Animals at Markets Order 1990.
These specify that owners and keepers must provide animals with a suitable environment, good diet, the opportunity to 'act normally', sufficient housing, and protection from pain, injury, suffering and disease.
All animal owners are also responsible for the health and welfare of their animals and therefore need to understand and provide for their physical and welfare needs. They have a duty of care towards the animal and must recognise the signs of illness or disease. They also have a responsibility to be vigilant, report any suspicion of disease and maintain good disease prevention and control practice, including compliance with regulations.
For more information, see the guide on farmed animal welfare at shows and markets.
- Code of recommendations for the welfare of livestock: Cattle
- General licence for the movement of cattle
Keeping on-farm records for cattle
According to European law, you must keep up-to-date herd records. These records should contain the following for every animal:
- ear tag number
- date of birth
- breed and sex
- dam ear tag number
- movements on and off your holding
- details of where it's moved from and to
- date of death
Animals born since 1 January 1998 must retain the same number throughout their lives.
You will also need to update these records within the following deadlines:
- 36 hours for movement on or off a holding
- seven days for the birth of a dairy animal
- thirty days for the birth of a non dairy animal
- seven days for recording death
- 36 hours for replacing ear tags (only if the ear tag number has been changed)
These records can be paper-based or electronic.
Cattle farm inspections
On-the-spot checks are referred to as Cattle Identification Inspections (CIIs). CIIs are carried out to ensure compliance with all cattle identification and registration requirements.
In each EU member state, 3% of registered holdings are inspected annually. The holdings are selected by risk analysis, and the inspections should be unannounced, though you may get up to 48 hours' notice.
You will be responsible for presenting all your animals, their passports and records on the holding for physical inspection. You will also need to provide suitable handling facilities and to assist with herding animals for inspection. Refusing or obstructing an inspection is an offence. At the end of your inspection, the inspector will ask you to sign a report form and offer you the opportunity to comment. A copy of this form will then be handed to you.
The inspector will specifically check that:
- your farm records show which animals are present on the holding or have been on the holding
- births, movements and deaths have been correctly recorded
- all animals are correctly tagged, and match the animal's passport
- all passports are present and correct
- deadlines for identifying cattle and keeping records have been met
- all passports for animals no longer on the holding have been passed on to the new keeper or returned to the BCMS
How long does the inspection take?
This depends on the size of your holding, the number of cattle involved and the quality of your record keeping. Records that are set out clearly and accurately will significantly reduce inspection time.
If errors are found during the inspection a movement restriction may be imposed on some or all of the cattle.
Defra may prosecute keepers who they believe are deliberately breaking the cattle identification rules.
Failure to comply with the cattle identification rules may also affect claims made under the SPS.
The standing movements regime
In the aftermath of the 2001 outbreak of foot and mouth disease, Defra introduced standing restrictions on the movements of livestock (cattle, sheep, goats and pigs). Whenever cattle, sheep, goats or pigs are moved onto a farm, no cattle, sheep or goats may move off for a period of six days. Pigs have to remain under standstill for 6 days where cattle, sheep and goats have been moved on to a holding. Where pigs have moved on to a farm, existing pigs must remain under standstill for 20 days. This is a disease dampening measure designed to slow down the rate of spread of undetected disease and thus reduce the size (and hence the cost) of disease outbreaks. Movements of animals are monitored through the Animal Movements Licensing System (AMLS) which is managed by the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS). The Disease Control (England) Order 2003 (as amended) is the domestic legislation setting out the law behind the regime.
The requirements on cattle identification, registration and tracing are governed by several pieces of EU legislation.
Regulation made by the European Parliament and Council
Regulation (EC) No 1760/00 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97.
Regulation made by the European Commission giving detailed rules
Regulation (EC) No 911/2004 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1760/00 as regards eartags, holding registers and passports in the framework of the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals.
Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 as amended by Regulation (EC) 1034/2010 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1760/00 as regards the minimum level of controls to be carried out in the framework of the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals. This Regulation specifies the need for the competent authority to carry out on the spot inspections of GB cattle holdings. This has been amended by Regulation (EC) No 1034/2010 which has set the level at 3% of holdings to be inspected.
Regulation (EC) No 494/98 as amended by Regulation (EC) No1053/2010 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation 9EC) No 1760/00 as regards the application of minimum administrative sanctions in the framework of the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals. This Regulation sets down the sanctions to be applied to holdings not complying with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1760/00, which includes restrictions on movements of cattle from the holding.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 644/2005 laying down rules for a special identification system for bovine animals recognised by the competent authority as being kept for cultural and historical purposes on premises approved for that purpose by the competent authority.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/1999 concerning an extension of the maximum period laid down for the application of ear-tags to bison.
The European Commission published a proposed regulation on 31 August 2011 which, if adopted, would introduce official electronic identification methods for cattle and abolish cattle passports for domestic trade. The proposed regulation is unlikely to be adopted before January 2014.
European Law is enforced by the domestic Cattle Identification Regulations which are made separately in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The EU requirements are enforced in England through:
- The Cattle Identification Regulations 2007
- The Cattle Identification (Amendment) Regulations 2007
- The Cattle Identification (Amendment) Regulations 2013
Scottish cattle identification legislation is available on the Scottish Government website. Welsh cattle identification legislation is available on the Welsh Assembly Government website.

Too calm?! Do all songs have to be full of death, carnage, or hipster fuelled lyrics? No!
The songs perfect the way it is. If these people want Skrillex, then they should just go on iTunes.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Meh, this was okay..
Good rhythm to the song. The song is very catchy, I will admit.
Not sure what it was, but that light swoosh-swoosh thing going on in the background didn't really appeal to me. From now on we will define this wavy swoosh sound as 'x'. I'll check again..
Listen #dos
Yep, I'm not getting what below people are getting. It's that X that off-lobes me. i heard a great part.. ill listen again.
Listen #3
1:18 -1:50
i feel this was executed wonderfully. very nice! but then...
1:53 i'm hearin that X thing again.
This X for me at least, destroys the song . I found X being used in parts that just didn't fit right.
Sorry to be like this man, it's a great piece, but it just didn't drive my tractor.

Too many New England winters maybe played a role, but Cheryl and John Hamilton believe theyve found the pluperfect place to live: Daniel Island.
We feel on vacation, says Cheryl Hamilton, who with her husband moved into their new house in Daniel Island Park about 100 days ago. We cant believe our good fortune.
The Hamiltons, who retired to the neotraditional community in Berkeley County and the city of Charleston, are not alone.
The erstwhile downtown Boston residents are among a steady trickle of people pulling up stakes and moving to Daniel Island, either for their senior years, a place to raise a family or as a starter village for young married couples.
The planned town, launched 16 years ago, counts its population at 8,500 as of January. Eventually, the island is expected to have 15,000 residents.
According to the Daniel Island Co., a majority of the communitys 2,715 households live in single family homes. The breakdown is 1,525 houses or 56 percent; 960 condo units, or 35 percent and 230 townhomes, or less than 10 percent.
Rick Vale, broker-in-charge of Daniel Island Real Estate, is seeing signs of a housing market pick-up. While the island fared fairly well during the real estate downturn, it didnt get through unaffected.
Theres 163 homes sold so far this year. Thats a slight increase over last year, he says. More significantly, he notes, is that 67 houses are now on the market. Its about a five month supply of homes available. Six months is a sign of healthy inventory.
Pricewise, the island is showing indications of a fit market. Homes have sold in the high $300,000s, Vale says. At the same time, We have a house on deep water listed at (more than) $5 million. The diversity of homes is very good.
A similar picture is emerging in the multifamily field. We sold 78 condos this year, new ones as well as resale. You can buy condos from the $100,000s to the $400,000s, he says.
One gradual shift on Daniel Island has been from a predominantely new-home market in its first years to a balance now between just-built homes and sales of existing residences.
From its earliest days, the island has been split into neighborhoods. Each enclave is named a park and contains a park within it. Among the first places to spring up were Etiwan Park, Barfield Park, Cochran Park and Codners Ferry Park. More recent additions are Daniel Island Park north of I-526 and Pierce Park and Smythe Park on the south end.
As residential growth took place, the island expanded its commercial base of shops, eateries and offices along Seven Farms and Daniel Island drives, added schools such as Daniel Island Elementary and Middle and Bishop England High; established venues such as Blackbaud soccer stadium and Family Circle Cup Tennis Center; and enticed major employers including BenefitFocus and Blackbaud.
Yet the expansion hasnt had a major impact on the 4,000-acre towns down-home character.
We like the community feeling, says Jan Masters, who with husband Gary Masters are moving to the Smythe Park neighborhood after 27 years in California.
Weve lived in San Diego, Palo Alto and Rancho Mirage in the desert near Palm Springs. We were ready to leave, she says.
The couples son and daughter-in-law lived in Summerville when he was stationed at Charleston Air Force Base. That got the Masters interested in moving to Daniel Island to retire. They had both worked for a major medical company for many years.
Jan Masters says she plans to be active in the island community. There are so many opportunities for volunteer work, many different ways to meet people.
Dan Pape, Realtor with Carolina One Real Estate, believes Daniel Islands residential outlook should stay steady since it wasnt hit that hard during the economic slide.
I think its continuing to pick up there. They never stopped building, he says.
There are plenty of new home sales and resales, especially under $500,000, Pape says. The more expensive homes, its supply and demand. They are not going as fast.
Still, even the seven-figure properties are seeing interest. Pape says he is listing a house at 91 Iron Bottom Lane in the plush Daniel Island Park neighborhood.
We had an offer on it, after six weeks of activity, he says. And the list price of the home? $1.5 million.
To reach Daniel Island from downtown Charleston, head west on Interstate 26 and take I-526 toward Mount Pleasant. Proceed eight miles and exit at Daniel Island. An alternate route is to cross the Ravenel Bridge to Mount Pleasant and staying left onto U.S. Highway 17 to the I-526 onramp. Get on I-526 and disembark at Daniel Island.

Nod to Eric Stoller for this:
Google aspires to be an organization that reflects our global audience by supporting a diversity of perspectives, ideas and cultures, which is one reason we created scholarship programs with both the United Negro College Fund and Hispanic College Fund. These programs provide $5,000 to both undergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated academic excellence in the fields of computer science and computer engineering. They're meant to encourage students to excel in their studies and become active role models and leaders. It's our hope that these programs also help dismantle barriers that keep women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields.

It makes sense that opposing offenses would want to make sure they know where Steve Longa is at all times these days.The redshirt freshman leads Rutgers in tackles with 80 and is on his way to the most productive season by a Scarlet Knight middle linebacker since Gary Brackett had 130 tackles in 2002.
But his teammates, too? They also have to be aware of where he is during games?
Well, yes – if they value their health.
Longa has been inadvertently responsible for knocking out two fellow defensive starters this season. One, cornerback Lew Toler, was lost for the season with a broken left arm when Longa made contact with him against Louisville on Oct. 18. Then on the first defensive play of the Oct. 26 Houston game, Longa accidentally rolled on the ankle of strong safety Lorenzo Waters.
Waters missed the rest of that game, the Temple game that followed and is still on the injury list for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.
"Everybody's got to stay away from me – my teammates, the opposing team. I'm coming for everybody," Longa said, joking.
Longa said he wasn't even aware he was the guilty party in either situation until he saw it on film.
"In both incidents I didn't even know I was the one who did it right away," Longa said. "With Toler, I was chasing the ball. There was a missed tackle. I was coming in to clean it up. Then Lorenzo came up to me and said `you're the one.' I was like `What do you mean I'm the one?' He said `you're the reason I got hurt.'
"Those guys understand. It's part of the game. They don't hate me for it."

SILVER CREEK – The Hanover Town Board heard about the possibilities of a regional water system coordinated by Chautauqua County.
At the board's regular meeting Monday in Town Hall, Kathy Tampio, director of the Chadwick Bay Regional Development Association, told board members that County Executive Greg Edwards has made a commitment to help organize a water distribution system in northern Chautauqua County.
Tampio said Edwards has committed the services of the county to coordinate funding, including grant applications and bonding, for the project. The plan would be for Dunkirk to supply water to neighboring communities from the Town of Hanover to Ripley.
Town Supervisor Todd Johnson pointed out Hanover's unique situation: It already has a good distribution system and has about seven years left in its contract with the Erie County Water Authority to purchase water.
Both Silver Creek and Hanover purchase water from the authority.
Councilman Frederick See-gert expressed doubt that the contract could be broken.
Tampio said a resolution of support for the efforts of a regional water system would not make the town obligated to purchase water due to its current situation.
Board members later approved the resolution and agreed to support the idea of regionalism.
The Chadwick Bay group will meet at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the Colony Restaurant on Routes 5 and 20 in Hanover.
In other matters: • Johnson announced that there will be an open house at the town's wastewater treatment plant so that residents of the water and sewer district can tour the facility and ask questions about the project proposed for improvements at the plant. He said that a date for the open house will be decided and that those who pay fees in the district will be notified by mail.
• A sign from Hae Jude Sign Co. of Silver Creek will be erected at the Bicentennial Park on King Road in Smith Mills. The parkland was donated by Harry Van Curen in 1976. The cost of the sign is $1,100.
• Johnson presented a proclamation to Laurel Hotelling in support of the 17th annual Laurel Run in Silver Creek. The event will be held at 9 a.m. July 20.
Wayne Hotelling, Laurel's father, was on hand to encourage registration of 500 runners and walkers in the event to celebrate Laurel's 50th birthday this year.
• Johnson read a proclamation in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Anderson-Lee Library in Silver Creek.

City Council wants to end a three-year-old information-sharing agreement with federal immigration authorities, saying cooperation meant to root out criminals is creating fear of police among undocumented but otherwise law-abiding immigrants.
On Thursday, Council voted, 17-0, for a nonbinding resolution calling for an end to an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the main investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security.
That agreement, signed in 2008, gives ICE agents access to city arrest data. The city amended the agreement last year to exclude witness and victim information.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of plastic shoe specialist Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX ) plummeted 21% today after its quarterly results and outlook easily missed Wall Street expectations.
So what: It's no secret that Crocs has been trying desperately to diversify beyond its core plastic clogs, but today's second-quarter results -- earnings fell 43% on revenue growth of just 10% -- coupled with downbeat guidance for the current quarter squashes any optimism on Wall Street that the strategy is working. While management blamed the weak sales in U.S. and Europe on colder-than-normal temperatures, investors are naturally concerned that it's instead a sign of declining popularity and a rapidly weakening competitive position.
Now what: Management now sees third-quarter EPS of $0.20 to $0.23 on revenue of $300 million to $310 million, well below the consensus of $0.36 and $325.3 million. "The fundamentals of the business remain strong as the balance of the revenue around the globe and the strengthening retail performance outside of Japan solidify our long-term sustainable growth expectations for revenue," CFO Jeffrey Lashley reassured analysts on a conference call. Given Crocs' seemingly permanent faddish and fickle nature, however, I wouldn't be so quick to bet on that optimism.
After all, the best investing approach is to choose truly great companies and stick with them for the long term.

The First Friends Church in Salem was the site of the summer wedding of Erin Rebecca Craig and Brett Frederick Bonner. The bride is the daughter of Ron and Becky Craig of Salem. Parents of the bridegroom are Mike and Sherri Bonner of Novelty.
Pastor Peter Fowler officiated at the couple's double-ring ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 1. Nuptial music was provided by Marian Christensen at the piano.
Escorted by her father and given in marriage by her parents, the bride was attired in a white satin gown highlighted with beaded floral appliques on the bodice and along the bottom. The gown was complete with a matching 5-foot detachable train. Her tiara of rhinestones and pearls were secured by a two-tier elbow-length veil. She carried a bouquet of white hydrangea, purple, pink and white roses, and lisianthus.
Amy Craig of Montana, the bride's sister, was the maid of honor. The matron of honor was Malia Wright of Columbiana.
Bridesmaids were Katey Lora of Salem, Chelsea Leven of Chesterland, and Tara Bonner of Novelty, the bridegroom's sister.
Kevin Wiemann of Missouri was the best man.
Groomsmen included Pete Allen of Colorado, Adam Joly of Columbus, Tim Murphy of Chesterland and Ben Craig of Vermont, the bride's brother.
Guest book attendants were Abigail Zimmerman and Lindsey Craig, the bride's cousins.
Approximately 180 guests attended the reception at Courtney's Banquet Center in Alliance.
The newlyweds are residing in Schaumburg, Ill., following their honeymoon to Estes Park, Colo.
The bride is a 2002 graduate of West Branch High School and a 2007 graduate of Kent State University. She received a bachelor's degree in early childhood education and is employed as a preschool teacher at Bright Horizons in Schaumburg.
The bridegroom graduated in 2001 from West Geauga High School and in 2005 from Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in aviation management. He also graduated in 2007 from the University of Central Missouri with a master's in aviation safety and is employed as ground safety representative for United Airlines.

IT'S PROBABLY the most negative label in sports - "Soft."
I'm not sure what its true definition in sports is because "soft or being soft" tends to evolve depending on whom you want to tag with it.
Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has that label.
Depending on whom you ask, Nowitzki, a former NBA Most Valuable Player, is soft because he's from Germany and plays a passive-aggressive European style; because he is a 7-footer but doesn't like to mix it up in the paint; because he crumbles under the pressure of the playoffs and takes the Mavericks flaming out with him.

Motor Vehicle Safety
Child safety seats are extremely effective when correctly installed and used in passenger cars - however, 4 out of 5 car seats are used improperly. Could yours be one of them?
Who Is At Risk?
Riding unrestrained is the greatest risk factor for death and injury among child occupants of motor vehicles.
Misuse of child safety seats is widespread. It is estimated that approximately 85% of children who are placed in child safety seats and booster seats are improperly restrained.
Driver safety belt use is positively associated with child restraint use.
The back seat is the safest place for children to ride. It is estimated that children ages 12 and under are 36% less likely to die in a crash if seated in the rear seat of a passenger vehicle.
Restraint Systems
- Child safety seats are extremely effective when correctly installed and used in passenger cars.
- Adult safety belts do not adequately protect children ages 4 to 8 (about 40 to 80 pounds) from injury in a crash.
Prevention Tips
- Always use child safety seats and/or safety belts correctly every time you ride. Restrain children ages 12 and under in a back seat.
- Infants, until at least 1 year old and at least 20 pounds, must be in rear-facing child safety seats. Never put a rear-facing infant or convertible safety seat in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with an active passenger air bag. For optimal protection, children should remain rear-facing until age 2, or until the maximum height or weight limit allowed by the car seat manufacturer.
- Children should remain in a forward-facing harness until they reach the maximum weight or height for the harness.
- Read your child safety seat instruction manual and your motor vehicle owner's manual for directions on proper installation.
Child Safety Seat Use
Before you hit the road, read this:
- Take a minute to be sure your child is riding safely. Study your vehicle owner's manual and car seat instructions carefully.
- Never place a rear-facing infant in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger air bag.
- Send in the car seat registration card to be notified in case your car seat is recalled. If you have any questions, call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 888-DASH-2DOT.
- Replace any car seat that has been involved in a crash.
- Route the safety belt correctly through the car seat.
- Correctly buckle the car seat into the vehicle.
- Get a tight fit -- the seat should not move more than one inch from side to side or toward the front of the vehicle.
- Check your vehicle owner's manual to see if you need a locking clip.
- Always use the top tether strap on forward facing seats if your car has a top tether anchor.

City Council approves Comprehensive Plan
by Jeff Switzer
WOODINVILLE--Making room for 1,800 new households and creating 2,000 new jobs as mandated by the state has proven no small task for a city only three years old, but following two-and-a-half years of work, the City Council passed the first reading of the Comprehensive Plan last Thursday, voting 5-0.
Mayor Bob Miller, Deputy Mayor Don Brocha, and Councilmembers Lucy DeYoung, Scott Hageman, and Barbara Solberg voted for the plan; Councilmembers Marsha Engel and Art Saulness were not present.
The city has added sections beyond the required land-use, housing, transportation, capital facilities, and utilities, with sections outlining policies on human services, economic development, community design, and parks and recreation, as well.
At second reading of the ordinance, set for June 24, staff and City Attorney Wayne Tanaka will be responding to a concern expressed by a citizen that the increased density for his land within a 20-year plan will have him paying property taxes for uses not yet imagined.
Because the Growth Management Act and the required Comprehensive Plan drafted by cities and counties is a relatively new process, staff said they will look into the legality of a phased approach to protect property owners from such an effect.
Woodinville's Planning Director Ray Sturtz said the citizens and community should be very proud of this undertaking.
"In my 25 years, this is the hardest working Planning Commission I've ever seen," said Sturtz. "Compared to other cities of this size, they've done an outstanding job. Other cities are amazed at the depth and obvious amount of work that went into this document for a city of this size."

The last time the Dallas Stars made the playoffs...
The Stars last made the playoffs in 2007-08. Here are some facts about that team:
They advanced to the Western Conference finals, defeating Anaheim and San Jose in six games apiece and losing to Detroit in six. The Stars' last playoff game was May 19, 2008, a 4-1 loss to Detroit.
Defenseman Trevor Daley is the only remaining Star from that team.
Mike Ribeiro led the Stars with 17 playoff points and Brenden Morrow with nine playoff goals. One of Morrow's goals came in the fourth overtime to eliminate San Jose on May 4, 2008.
The Stars had 97 points that season. Ribeiro led them with 83 points.
Dave Tippett was their coach.
