Jérôme Lejeune, the pioneer geneticist who discovered Down syndrome in 1958, ushering in the new field of cytogenetics, was one of the key personalities at the New York Encounter. In fact, he died of cancer in 1994, and has recently become a candidate for canonization. It was Ombretta Salvucci, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute, who brought him to the Encounter, via his family, including his widow Birthe and his daughters Clara and Karin. Families with children afflicted by Down syndrome, grateful for the research and support of the Lejeune Foundation, also joined the family for breakfast and Mass.
Salvucci calls Lejeune her "best friend", to whom she appealed for intervention during a crisis at work. She credits his help to change as her "attitude miraculously became one of hope and promise" at work and in her life. She went on to learn more about her "scientist saint" by contacting the Lejeune family. Clara Lejeune-Gaymard offered an account of her father's life at the Encounter, and her memoir, Life Is a Blessing, published by the National Catholic Bioethics Center, was reissued at the same time.
Early in his career Lejeune wanted to be a surgeon. After missing the test three times, he moved into research by necessity, as he sought a cure for his young patients suffering from what was then called "mongolism". When I asked his family whether Jérôme typically saw such events as signs, they denied it. On the contrary, they said, he disliked talk of signs, which offended his scientific sensibilities. For an example, they gave the story of how Lejeune, who was one of the first members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, had lunch with Pope John Paul II just hours before the pontiff was shot in St. Peter's Square. Lejeune himself then fell seriously ill with similar symptoms to the pope, resulting in surgery, which turned out to be a case of gallstones. For those close to him, it was evident he was physically suffering together with the Holy Father. But for Lejeune, his arguments were always based on reason and scientific evidence, particularly in his famous campaign defending life from the biological point of conception.

Shop the full line of Sachajuan haircare products here!
Sweden's hottest haircare range is now available at b-glowing! Sachajuan is the brainchild of Sacha Mitic and Juan Rosenblind, owners of the famous salon in Stockholm that also brought about the creation of their own line of haircare products. Word and admiration quickly spread overseas and it's hit the USA by storm. We're very excited to have it available to our customers. From its simplistic yet chic packaging to its amazing formulations Sachajuan is a brand that will give you immediate results with their tailor made products.
My personal tried and tested favorite is the Sachajuan Ocean Mist. If you love that just 'came from the sea' beach hair then this formula will give hair a natural twist and volume a la a long day spent in sand and surf.
We all love a bit of bounce and the Sachajuan Volume Powder creates big volume and structure to limp, weighted down locks. Also moonlighting as a dry shampoo it removes oily shine and gives hair a fresh and so clean just washed feeling.
If your mane is in desperate need of mending then the Sachajuan Hair Repair is a targeted intensive hair treatment for damaged and stressed hair. Ocean Silk Technology promotes cell regeneration to increase strands vitality and strength. This rinse out treatment only needs 5-10 minutes to work it's magic.
Blind Barber Male Grooming Range! » -
Shop the full Blind Barber range here!
Even men need a little extra help when it comes to choosing grooming products that are right for them. Luckily for us, they're slowly realizing their 'metrosexuality' and with that comes an interest in great skincare and shaving products. I happen to feel a great sense of pride when my husband lets me know he's out of his exfoliant, and it's just darn cute. Our latest addition to the men's category is a brand out of NYC, The Blind Barber.
The Blind Barber redefines modern manhood with their return to the 'roaring twenties' and the era of the modern gentleman. With shave as well as hair products in the range this is a brand that is inspired by fashion, music and lifestyle. The chic black and white packaging and signature scissors has an air of old school feeling to it and a time when every man went to the barber to get his clean, close shave. Although the range is small, that is the genius in it because men don't need a ton of options, just a few products that work for every guy. Some of the standouts are:
Blind Barber 90 Proof Hair Pomade is infused with hops (yes, like beer) that is protein rich for effortless styling and leaves hair with a workable matte finish. No need to reapply throughout the day the pomade has a very strong hold!
Blind Barber 60 Proof Hair Wax is also infused with hops and has a nutrient rich formulation to keep hair in place without weighing it down. In comparisons to the 90 proof, this has a medium hold for semi control. Hair might possibly have a bit of movement rather being unbudgeable.
«Kai Shampoo and Conditioner! -
Shop the full Kai fragrance range here!
Ok Kai devotees you asked and they delivered. Their bath and body category has gotten even bigger and you can now enjoy a clean and refreshed mane with the Kai Shampoo and Conditioner! Both include the brand's signature Hawaiian inspired aroma of jasmine, tuberose and lily so you can smell like you experienced a tropical getaway in one wash! The shampoo contains coconut oil, glycerin and mild surfactants that delicately remove dirt and buildup without stripping hair of color or texture. The conditioner is packed with vitamin rich ingredients like vitamin e, shea butter and special blend of argan oil to detangle, reconstruct and restore moisture to lackluster hair. This sulfate and paraben free duo works for all hair types!

Reviews for Next Generation Focus Inc
NGF is a wonderful program that helps our youth excel. Amy Sol is very dedicated in all her endeavors with this program. I have seen her personally go above and beyond, sacrificing her own personal time off to make sure this program is continually running smoothly. She truly loves these children and wants them to have the same advantage any other child does to get a better education.
I work with abused and neglected children in the local juvenile court. The children we serve often struggle with their school work. Next Generation Focus gives us an affordable resource to assist in this area. The children's progress is measured throughout. This means we are not just putting a service into place because it is needed. We can also expect success. The children adore the amazing young tutors who work with them. They want to succeed for them. Often the expectation of success in school is not a priority in their homes. It takes a very special organization to give them the wish to succeed as well as the means to do so. I have personally visited on Saturday mornings and watched the children coming in excited to spend their Saturday morning with their favorite tutors. I fully endorse this organization and hope to see it grow and expand in our community.

Speaker Ryan supports Little Sisters of the Poor
On March 22, 2016, U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) spoke on the House floor in support of the Little Sisters of the Poor, the day before the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments in their fight against the Affordable Care Act's HHS mandate through which the U.S. Government is forcing them to violate their religious beliefs.
Below are Speaker Ryan's full remarks as delivered:
"Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Little Sisters of the Poor v. Burwell. And today, I stand in support of the Little Sisters.
"Mr. Speaker, this is an order of Catholic nuns who serve the elderly poor in 31 countries. We talk a lot about public service up here. Well, these are the people who live it. They are the definition of public service.
"In fact, I had the honor of hosting two of the sisters at the State of the Union address this January. And I was amazed to hear of all the good work that they do. So the last thing the federal government should do is make their jobs harder. But that, unfortunately, is exactly what this administration is doing.
"Under the health-care law, the Department of Health and Human Services is insisting on a regulation that requires the sisters to offer benefits that violate their religious beliefs. The administration claims to have offered them an 'accommodation.' But it is just a fig leaf. So this is the choice that they are facing: Either violate your faith or pay up to $70 million a year in fines.
"Mr. Speaker, there is no good reason for any of this. A full one third of the American people are exempt from this regulation. So why insist that the sisters—of all people—follow it? There are other ways to protect people's health—that do not violate people's faith.
"And Mr. Speaker, it is clear to anyone with eyes to see that this regulation is a violation of theReligious Freedom Restoration Act. A broad, bipartisan majority in Congress voted for that law. And what Congress said was this: The burden is not on your faith to obey government mandates. The burden is on the government to respect your faith.
"Mr. Speaker, that is the very meaning of religious liberty. That is one of our founding principles. That is why we should do everything we can to let people live out their faith. That is why many colleagues of mine and I have joined an amicus brief asking the Court to grant the sisters the relief that they deserve.
"And that is why I am here today—to stand in defense of the sisters, to stand in defense of the law, and to stand in defense of religious liberty. Thank you."

'Bands to Watch' sing praises for bands they are watching
Before we begin looking at all the local music that will happen in 2013 (we do have 361 days for doing just that), Local Beat is taking one final look back at the year's best Wisconsin music - from the vantage point of state bands that made a big impression in 2012.
I reached out to the acts featured in our 10 Bands to Watch list in August, soliciting for their own picks for acts to watch. Here are some favorite albums and songs released by Wisconsin artists in 2012, as selected by musicians in poetic folk group Field Report, avant-garde ensemble Volcano Choir, Americana rock act Trapper Schoepp and the Shades and other noteworthy Wisconsin bands. »Read Full Article

The museum also is altering its narrative, opening up what it means to focus on "Wisconsin art" and creating a greater focus on contemporary art. »Read Full Article

Big Sean fumbles the flow at Rave show

10. PlentyOfFish
Getting Started On PlentyofFish
Started in 2003, PlentyofFish (POF) paved the way for free online dating sites. The site's personality test measures five categories that affect compatibility: Self-Confidence, Family Orientation, Self-Control, Social Dependency/Openness, Easygoingness. POF states that they "generate matches for you from a statistical model based on thousands of successful couples who have taken our chemistry test." POF also has a mobile app that allows you to filter by education, height, and body type.
Learn more at PlentyOfFish.com
The PlentyofFish Experience
POF is great for people who don't want to pay, want algorithmic matching based on a unique personality test, and a bit of buffer time before meeting up with a match in real life.
The paid version of POF has a feature called the "Who's Seen Me" button that allows you to see who has viewed your profile. Many female users turn this function off because some male users take a "view" to mean that the woman is interested and initiate communication. However, the function becomes useful In the event that two users are acting as "secret admirers," i.e. frequently viewing each other's profile without any communication.
Being one of the original modern day dating sites, POF offers a traditional, mainstream dating platform that is both easy to use and ripe with members.
Best feature: A huge member base and an easy-to-use interface makes Plenty of Fish feel as natural as Facebook or Twitter -- the added app makes it easy to use POF on the go.
Biggest drawback: There are a lot of questionable personas on the site that are obviously catfishing.
Memberships & Pricing
Signing up to Plenty of Fish is free, but there is an option to pay for premium features as well.

Luis De Valle Punishes Dat Nguyen For Ten Rounds
By Chris LaBate
Roseland Ballroom, New York - Puerto Rican prospect Luis Orlando Del Valle (13-0, 10KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Dat Nguyen (17-2, 6KOs) in a featherweight contest. All three judges saw it 99-91 for Del Valle.
Del Valle came out with hard combinations in the first round. He was doing a lot of damage in the and continued to hurt Nguyen in the second round. Nguyen started fighting back to push Del Valle away. Del Valle was going after Nguyen in the third with hard combinations. The face of Nguyen was starting to show serious swelling. In the fourth, Del Valle was throwing a lot of punches. Nguyen was very game and tried to answer back often.
Rounds five through seven were damaging for Nguyen. He took a lot of punishment from Del Valle, who was seriously outworking him with combination punching. Nguyen took a beating to the head and body in the eight round when Del Valle pinned him against the ropes.
Nguyen, possibly making a last stand, came out in the ninth round with both of his hands swinging. He looked good for about thirty seconds before Del Valle took over and started throwing his high volume of combinations. They were trading punches in the tenth and final round. Del Valle was still outworking his opponent and landing a lot more punches.

More than a thousand people welcomed Burmese President Thein Sein upon his return from the United States on Monday morning in a rare gesture of popular support for a leading politician in the military-dominated nation.
"We love our president," bellowed the crowd outside Rangoon International Airport. Huge posters with the former general's image bearing the slogan "We support you! Congratulations, Mr. President" were held by supporters
Those present included affluent businessmen, members of political parties, garment factory workers and students. Some estimated that as many as 2,000 people could have been among the horde.
"We are glad that sanctions have been lifted. Before, we could only export our products to our neighboring countries like Bangladesh, Malaysia, Japan, Vietnam and so on," said Dr. Aung Win, deputy chairman of the Myanmar Garment Association.
"Now we in the textile industry can export more to the United States too. That's why we came here to welcome the president."
Aung Win said that he brought around 300 garment factory workers to welcome Thein Sein, but that 10,000 or 20,000 people could easily have come.
During Thein Sein's trip, which started on Sept. 24, the Obama administration lifted import sanctions against Burma as a reward for tentative democratic reforms since the 67-year-old took office in March last year.
Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has also been traveling in the United States and backed Naypyidaw's calls for the lifting of the trade restrictions.
Maj Zaw Htay, the director of the President's Office, told The Irrawaddy on Monday afternoon that "the president's trip was a success."
"The president got a chance to explain the changes in our country in front of the international community," he said. "Our President's Office was proud of his success."
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the lifting of sanctions one day before Thein Sein addressed the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday.
It makes me remember when we were forced to show up to welcome Khin Ngyunt. I believe many people from USDP showed up with costumes from various ethnic groups. Except lip's service, what had we seen from Thein Sein's reform? He is still far from being a hero.
For me, the time is not yet ripe to give my applause to president Thein Sein but I feel very much bemused to myself to see that I have a good military general who is a Burmese citizen like myself. There are long roads ahead for president Thein Sein and all Burmese. We just all threw our hats in the ring including Suu Kyi and the fight is going on there without knowing who is the winner.
The mismatch of 2008 constitution and Rohingya issues is popping high while war in the north against Kachin is still devastating. Burma is a sleeping giant who will wake up the most beautiful nation on earth soon!
Can't begrudge Baldy for trying to be Mini Me of his sidekick. what with well organised roaring rant-a-crowd and ever loyal "free Media" of international envy at hand.
Small footnote:
People who are currently free and at liberty are going to be always dictated by and looking up to the "employer" once that cycle is started in Burma soon. Like fish in pagoda lakes. And like a snake in the hole. No turning back.
Always wishing to be ordered about. Life depends on it. Ask the 2-3 -job-low, low wagers in US- the "rich" ex-pats living in dungeons willingly watching "Friends" reruns.In the coming census put in Religion as "Lo-bun".
The petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him.

The Belgian has hit the ground running at Villa Park since joining the club from Genk in the summer for £7m, notching up 14 goals in 27 appearances for Paul Lambert's men.
And the Gunners are apparently leading the race to sign the 22-year-old forward, with the Daily Star claiming that he has already made his mind up to quit Villa in the summer.
Villa boss Lambert recently moved to stave off interest in the striker by insisting that he would not be leaving the club on the cheap.
"If someone wanted to buy Christian they'd better have a few quid in their pocket to buy him," said Lambert. "He's not just going to walk out of here for the value he came for, that's for sure.
"Has he doubled his value? Yes, by miles. He's only 22 and he's got years and years ahead of him. He's not at his peak, but what he's done for me and for the club is fantastic."

How Long Is It OK To Say "Happy New Year"?
I HATE when people say "Happy new year." What does it mean anyway? That some arbitrary calendar system devised way before I was born suggests that we are now starting some ridiculous new cycle or other? So fucking what? I'd have more respect if people said something like "Happy Life Day" (which was popularized on the immortal Star Wars Holiday Special from the '70s, the worst two hours of TV until Rosie Live! and the hour we needed to recover from it.)
But as long as we HAVE to say "Happy fucking new year"--and let's face, it, even I find myself saying it just to fill the air with something--how long do we have to keep doing so? It's absolutely absurd when people still say it well into January and sometimes even in friggin' February! Why not say it all goddamned year so that when it comes time to say it again, we won't even have to remember to restart the practice?
More practically, how about if we all agree to only say it for the first two weeks of the year, deal? How about if anyone who has the audacity to utter it after January 14 gets pelted with mothballs, raped by rabid bats, and forced to watch a Cindy Crawford film festival? Obama, make this your first law, please. And by the way, happy new year.

An exciting end to the first round of fixtures of Euro 2012 and a result which means England will not be able to rest on their point earned against France. Thoughts are welcomed on your reaction to this evening's match and how you think it affects England's hopes of qualifying through to the quarter-finals. Send your emails to email@example.com
Cuneyt Cakir calls an end to a thrilling second half and it is Ukraine who have won and top Group D.
Sweden have what will surely be their last chance to salvage something from the match, Mellberg's volley landing on the roof of the net.
Elmander follows up his vital miss by fouling Mykhalyk, handing Ukraine some time to protect their lead. Three minutes are added to this second half.
A great chance goes begging for Sweden to equalise. Elmander is put through on goal by Ibrahimovic but blazes over from point blank range. Should have done a lot better.
Good skill by Konoplyanka allows Ukraine to break forward. They tease on the edge of the area before Gusev fouls Mellberg as he chases the ball down on the right by-line.
Lustig tries to keep a Sweden attack going, but the ball had gone out of play before he touches it inside.
Mellberg upends Milevsky to allow Ukraine a breather. Sweden had previously threatened with Wilhelmsson in particular looking dangerous.
The crowd goes wild as Shevchenko bows out of the game after scoring twice. He is replaced by Milevsky.
Sweden pressing for an equaliser now, but Wilhelmsson's shot from outside the box is held by Pyatov.
Sweden go close to equalising as Ibrahimovic sees his powerfully struck effort saved by Pyatov. He initially won the ball in the air before being set up for the shot by Elm's lovely flick.
Elm hits a lofted pass towards Martin Olsson on the left flank but the the full back is unable to control and it goes out for a Ukraine throw.
Yarmolenko switches the ball nicely from the right of the pitch to the left as he finds Konoplyanka.
The tempo of the game has slowed slightly, and Sweden will need to find a way back into the game sooner rather than later.
Ibrahimovic and Khacheridi have a tussle on Sweden's right wing, but the free-kick goes Ukraine's way.
That man Shevchenko pops up again. This time he curves his run excellently to meet Konoplyanka's corner at the front post to head into Isaksson's goal. Stunning turnaround from Ukraine.
Voronin turns away from Blonqvist in the box and has a shot, but it is deflected behind for a corner.
Ukraine break forward again with Voronin and Konoplyanka combining on the left. Larsson is furious with his team-mates as he tracks back to concede a corner.
Ukraine hit back immediately and it's the national treasure who scores the goal. Ukraine build the attack from the right and Shevchenko heads in from an excellent cross from Yarmolenko on the wing.
Ibrahimovic applies a simple finish to a good move by Sweden. Larsson crosses from the right and finds Kallstrom unmarked at the far post. Ibrahimovic makes a clever run and eases the ball past Pyatov to hand Sweden the lead.
He is back on his feet as Nazarenko makes a sliding challenge on Martin Olsson to put the ball out for a throw.
Kallstrom's attempted pass to Larsson is deflected and runs free to Rosenberg. He fires at goal but Selin gets a great block in to avert the danger.
Lustig presses Khacheridi to keep the ball in play but the defender does well to play his way out of trouble.
Ukraine go straight onto the offensive and get the ball in the box but are unable to create an opening, despite the acrobatics of Voronin to overhead kick the ball into the centre.
As you may imagine, not too much change on the betting front after a goaless first half. Ukraine are priced at 15/8 to grab the win, Sweden are 9/4 whilst the draw is available at 5/4. Ukraine have been the most impressive team so far, with Yarmolenko looking dangerous. He is a tasty 10/1 to score the next goal of the match. Visit www.skybet.com to place all your in-game bets.
So, as things stand, all the teams in Group D will have 1 point after the first round of games. Ukraine have looked the better side and have had more possession, but Sweden have had the best chance of the game so far, with Ibrahimovic clipping the post with a header. What lies in store for us in the second half?
Ukraine come back once more, but Voronin misplaces his pass and Martin Olsson can gather possession for the Swedes.
Nazarenko searches out Shevchenko in the box, but Granqvist defends well to send the ball out wide for Sweden to clear.
Ukraine holding possession now in Sweden's half. Gusev is freed on the right wing and hits a dangerous cross to the far post, but Yarmolenko blazes his volley well over the bar.
Back at the other end now. Firstly, Pyatov has to rush to clear from the oncoming Rosenberg following a soft back pass, then Ibrahimovic hits the post with a cross-goal header. Unlucky for Sweden.
A bit of a goalmouth scramble now in the Sweden box, but Isaksson makes a vital save from Yarmolenko to force a corner. Sweden get the corner clear.
Ukraine come forward again and Nazarenko tries an ambitous shot from way out. He hits it with good power and Isaksson has to parry.
Voronin does well to win the ball from the dallying Martin Olsson but a foul is wrongly called, denying Ukraine a break on the left wing.
Half a chance for Rosenberg as he attempts a half volley on the turn inside the box. Pyatov fumbles it a bit but eventually holds.
Ibrahimovic searches for goal from outside the box, but he is quite a way off and Ukraine actually get a throw-in.
Toivonen advances into the Ukraine box but he is crowded out and the home side look to counter. Konoplyanka is fouled, allowing Nazarenko an opportunity to swing in a dangerous free-kick.
Voronin makes a good run as he tries to meet Nazarenko's lofted pass but can't control the ball as it runs away from him.
Elm looks to hurl a long throw into the box but Khacheridi clears. Ukraine counter with intent and Shevchenko is put through on goal but mishits his shot somewhat and it goes harmlessly wide. From a tough angle on the right side of the goal, a better option may have been to square it there.
Ukraine threaten and Gusev gets his cross into the box, but Sweden come away with the ball with Larsson.
Sweden improving a bit now and will have a throw on the right wing once Khacheridi receives attention from a knock.
Ibrahimovic crosses from the right for Sweden and the Ukraine defence panic slighty following Pyatov's punch away. The danger is over now though.
Ukraine having more of the ball so far, and have been the first side to settle in this game. Shevchenko is a bit too eager on the challenge on Mellberg though and concedes a free-kick.
Peter writes: "Hey Olly, Peter ex-pat Villa fan now in Chicago. After nailing England to draw 1-1 earlier, i am going for the same result here."
Sweden attack at the other end, and Kallstrom tries a long-range effort. He connects with the ball well but fails to trouble the target.
George Bedford writes: "Think Sweden have it about them to see off Ukraine, despite the home advantage. Ukraine's recent form hasn't been as good as Sweden's and I can't see them overcoming the Scandinavians. 2-1 to Sweden."
Sully writes: "Hi olly! I think this game will feature quite a few goals either 2-1 with shevchenko to score first or 3-2 with ibrahimovich scoring a brace!! personally i want them scores!!"
Skybet make Ukraine 13/8 slight favourites to claim victory in Kyiv this evening. Sweden are the 7/4 outsiders, with the draw available at 9/4. Quite clearly, a close game is expected, but I feel Sweden may just have enough about them to steal a win, and a priceboost of Sweden to win 2-1 at 10/1 is attractive. Go to www.skybet.com to place your bets on tonight's fixture.
Ukraine: Pyatov, Gusev, Mykhalyk, Khacheridi, Selin, Yarmolenko, Tymoschuk, Konoplianka, Nazarenko, Voronin, Shevchenko. Subs: Koval, Kucher, Garmash, Aliev, Shevchuk, Rakitskiy, Butko, Goryainov
Sweden: Isaksson, Lustig, Mellberg, Granqvist, Martin Olsson, Elm, Kallstrom, Larsson, Ibrahimovic, Toivonen, Rosenberg. Subs: Wiland, Svensson, Jonas Olsson, Antonsson, Wernbloom, Safari, Holmen, Hansson
So, England and France shared the points in Donetsk, leaving the opportunity for either co-hosts Ukraine or Sweden to top the group by the end of the evening. The experience of Andriy Shevchenko and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk will be vital for the home side, while Sweden will no doubt look to Zlatan Ibrahimovic for goals this evening, with the creativity of Seb Larsson and Kim Kallstrom key for them to threaten going forward.
Hello and welcome to the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv for the second Group D game of this year's European Championships. Oliver Bell here to steer you through the match, minute-by-minute. Team news coming up soon, so in the meantime why not send your thoughts and predictions to firstname.lastname@example.com?

What is in this article?:
- As China's cotton acres shrink, door opens to more U.S. sales
- More food production
- Stocks are lower quality
Within just a five-year period through 2016-17, China will have gone from producing 35 million bales of cotton to just 20 million bales, opening the door to more sales of U.S. cotton, says O.A. Cleveland, Jr., Extension economics professor emeritus at Mississippi State University.
More About:
PRODUCERS Rett Swann and Hal Swann, Guntown, Miss., visit with Ernie Flint, regional Extension specialist, Kosciusko, Miss., at the joint annual meeting of the Mississippi Boll Weevil Management Corporation and the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation's Cotton Policy Committee.
Stocks are lower quality
In the short term, Cleveland says, China has 50 million to 60 million bales of cotton stocks that are overhanging the world market.
But, he says, "Those stocks are at least two years old, and most of the cotton is three or four years old, so other than using it to make cheap yarns, they have no choice except to import higher quality cotton to mix with their cotton in order to spin quality yarns.
"China has increasingly moved toward producing quality yarns, and their textile mills are wanting quality cotton. That's why we've been selling so much U.S. cotton."
Cleveland says the USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board has "grossly underestimated Chinese cotton demand the last five years — that's documented — and in my opinion, they've grossly underestimated it again. Three years ago, China imported 20 million bales, two years ago they imported 14 million bales, last year they imported 12 million bales. But the WAOB has China importing only 8.5 million bales of 2014 crop cotton, which I believe is too low."
Chinese mills don't want the cotton its government has in storage, he says. "Yes, they're buying some of it, but they will have to continue buying U.S. cotton to maintain quality. Our exports to China are still very active.
"I would guess as the U.S. crop gets bigger, at least three of every four bales we grow will go to the export market, and rather than USDA's export projection of 8.5 million bales, we'll probably hit 12.5 million to 13 million bales, simply because we're going to have a larger crop and a lower price."
India has been on track to become the world's largest cotton producer, Cleveland says, "but it looks like China may stay above them this year. There's no doubt, though, that India will become the world's largest producer — if not this year, perhaps next year."
Concerns about India's current crop, centered on fears their monsoon was going to be very late, is "another reason the market had gone higher, he says. "Instead, it came early, and everyone was excited that India was going to plant a lot of acres.
"Then, the monsoon disappeared. Sixty percent of the cotton acres in India aren't getting the rains needed to make the crop. They've quit planting and are just sitting there watching the skies. Only about 40 percent of the crop is getting decent rains.
"India still has time to produce 28 million to 32 million 480 lb. bales," Cleveland says. "The USDA projects them at 38.5 million. The market is kinda teetering right now with respect to India's production outlook, but whatever cotton we may be losing in India we're making up here in the U.S.
"But the New York cotton futures contract is U.S. based, so right now we're paying more attention to the U.S. crop."

A Harris's hawk flew above a packed house from one handler to another Sunday at the second annual Father's Day Falcon Fest at the Audubon Nature Center at Chatfield State Park. Dads, moms and their kids watched in awe as five birds of prey were presented by the founder of HawkQuest, Kin Quitugua.
About 30 handguns were stolen early Tuesday from a gun shop in a strip mall on West Bowles Avenue, and another gun store to the east in Littleton was burglarized the next day.
Sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer confirmed burglars tripped a silent alarm at Colorado Gun Broker, 8966 W. Bowles Ave., at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday. Deputies reportedly arrived within five minutes, but the perpetrators were gone.
Techmeyer said the gun store's surveillance cameras weren't operating during the break-in, but other cameras in the strip mall were being checked.
In an effort to fund its facilities master plan and other initiatives, the Jeffco school board decided last Thursday to put a bond issue of up to $535 million on the November ballot, as well as pursue a property-tax increase of between 3.69 and 4.31 mills.
All-state girls soccer
Columbine High School's Tatum Barton and Brittany Wilson were first-team all-state selections in voting done by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
Barton, a senior forward, scored 13 goals this season, third-best on the team.
Wilson, a senior goalkeeper, had a goals-against average of 0.6 in 19 games. She averaged about two and a half saves per outing.
Columbine's Kelcey Cavarra, a senior midfielder, was a second-team selection. She scored eight goals and added 12 assists.

ALAMOSA — There was just enough time in Cameron Pearson's calendar to squeeze in two more high-school basketball games at Adams State University over the weekend.
For many years prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, I was an active and vocal proponent of universal health care. It always seemed to me that socializing our health risks worked better when everyone was part of the pool. I supported requirements at both the state and federal levels for people to have health insurance.
Memorial Day is cloudy and cool, with a bit of wind out of the north. People on the boardwalk along Main Street in Evergreen watch as a motorcycle tools by every few minutes. Sometimes the bike is accompanied by others; sometimes it's alone; sometimes it's playing music through a speaker; sometimes it's moving to the tune of its own melodious engine.
Overall positive feedback from parents and students was offset by some employee concerns about workload and pay in a recent survey taken by Jeffco Public Schools.
The district's Make Your Voice Heard survey, which polled students in second through 12th grades and was completed by about 77 percent of the district's students, found that most students felt cared about and respected by teachers and school staff; furthermore, about 90 percent of all students said they had friends or people they felt connected to at school.
The rain and lightning held off long enough for more than 800 people to enjoy a Thursday night out at Clement Park listening to folk duo Moors & McCumber. The pair played as part of the Foothills Park & Recreation District's Summer Entertainment Series.
As the fear of a late frost fades with each warmer day, gardeners are starting to fill their yards, patios and decks with colorful veggies and flowers.
Staff horticulturist Betsy Kelson has been working at Jared's Nursery, Gift and Garden in South Jeffco for 19 years. Referred to as the "expert," Kelson has some gardening tips for those looking to get green this season.

Charlie Daniels
, painting themselves as rowdy redneck rebels who still hold small-town values.
Eddie Montgomery
Troy Gentry
first played together in Early Tymz, a Lexington, Kentucky band led by
's brother, future country star
John Michael Montgomery
. Both
had been performing on the local club scene since their teenage years, the former as a drummer in his father's band. After Early Tymz broke up, a new group called
Young Country
formed from its ashes, with
John Michael
billed out front. He eventually went solo, of course, and
Montgomery Gentry
first formed not long after, initially calling themselves
After playing around Lexington for a time,
Montgomery Gentry
landed a deal with Columbia thanks to a showcase performance. Their debut album,
Tattoos & Scars
, was released in 1999 and made the country Top Ten on the strength of the Top 20 singles "Hillbilly Shoes" and "Daddy Won't Sell the Farm," plus the Top Five smash "Lonely and Gone" and the
Charlie Daniels
collaboration "All Night Long." They were named the CMA's Duo of the Year in 2000, breaking a run of eight consecutive years by
Brooks & Dunn
. In 2001, the follow-up album
Carrying On
was released; it also made the country Top Ten and produced the number two smash "She Couldn't Change Me." A third album,
My Town
, was completed quickly and released in 2002, bringing the duo their third Top Five hit in the title track.
The hard-driving
You Do Your Thing
arrived in 2004, followed by the greatest-hits collection
Something to Be Proud Of: The Best of 1999-2005
in November of 2005.
Some People Change
appeared from Columbia Records in 2006, followed by
Back When I Knew It All
in early 2008. It all amounted to a pretty successful track record, with a dozen or more of their singles since 1999, plus all of their studio albums, entering the Top Ten charts (as did the greatest-hits collection). The duo's eighth studio album, Gravel Road, appeared in 2010. The Michael Knox-produced Rebels on the Run, the duo's first album for new label Average Joe's Entertainment, appeared in 2011; it debuted at nine on the Billboard country charts. A digital-only EP called Friends and Family showed up in October 2012, and after two years of solid touring the duo signed to Blaster Records and released the full-length Folks Like Us in June 2015.

"You are the light of the world."
- Jesus
Light and darkness have long been universal themes in religion. The world's great faiths see their adherents as children of the light, while seeing nonbelievers as children of darkness.
But in what way did Jesus intend his comment about light for the world?
Were all his hearers light? Quite a crowd heard the Sermon on the Mount that day - should we assume all of them were light for the world?
Maybe Jesus meant the comment only for his inner circle of disciples or for those who might become disciples later. Or perhaps his words were aimed down the ages toward unborn generations or even nations? Can nations be "light of the world?"
Such questions were called to mind by a map I saw recently on the Internet, a NASA time-lapse satellite photo of the entire earth's surface as it looks from space at night. The oceans are black as ink. Land masses are visible only by whatever light their cities project into the heavens.
The entire continent of Africa, for example, is almost invisible against the black oceanic background. Aside from scattered bright dots indicating the developed cities of South Africa and the northern African coast, the Dark Continent reveals almost no light.
Equally dark are the interiors of the Amazon basin, central Asia and Australia. A smattering of New Zealand cities shines like the Pleiades in the otherwise pitch-black South Pacific.
Afghanistan is invisible on this map, a black emptiness between a surprisingly well-lit Iran and modestly lit India and Pakistan.
The brightest areas on the map, as you might guess, are the highly developed nations of the world.
Western Europe is awash in light, with distinct dots from London, Berlin and Amsterdam. Rome, Naples and Madrid are bright, too.
It's no surprise that the brightest dot in Europe is Paris, the City of Light.
Of all the nations of the world, none can compare with the sheer volume of light reflected from our United States. Our incandescence stretches from coast to coast. The Eastern seaboard is virtually one continuous blaze, so that it's hard to tell where New York City ends and Washington or Philadelphia or Boston begins.
People familiar with Texas geography can easily make out our Lone Star cities. Houston and D/FW are massive blobs of light. The Waco-Austin-San Antonio corridor can be clearly seen. Lubbock, Plainview and Amarillo are plain as day.
What inferences, if any, might we draw from this "map of light"? Should we leap from mere photography to metaphor? Are Christian nations - especially Western Europe and America - literally the "light of the world"?
Perhaps, perhaps not.
South America, surely one of the most Christian of the continents, is mostly dark. The most light per square mile of any nation on earth comes from Japan, whose citizens are mostly Shinto and Buddhist.
Another way of thinking about such a "light map" is to imagine where, exactly, all these points of light originate. The obvious answer is from billions of individual light sources, mostly light bulbs on streets, yards, buildings, signs and businesses. Added together, these lights make up the white blobs visible from space.
Anyone who's ever flown over cities on a clear night knows how urban areas look from above: like a terrestrial Milky Way - mile after glittering mile of white and orange sparks.
Sadly, much of what we see from above, and what was recorded in NASA's nighttime camera, is wasted light. The average street light, for example, throws almost as much light up into space as down onto the street.
Light striking a camera 300 miles above earth is light that didn't illuminate what it was meant to illuminate down below. Some call it "light pollution."
And of the nations of the world, who wastes the most light? As Ebenezer Scrooge might have said, "They that have the light, of course." Someone paid for all that light and then cast it into the vacuum of space.
Yes, we are extravagant, even wasteful, with our light. Like the Magi from the East bearing gifts the Child couldn't possibly use, or like the woman of Bethany pouring expensive oil on Jesus' head ("Why this waste?" the indignant disciples wondered), we splash the skies with light.
"And you, like the lamp, must shed light among your fellows, so that, when they see the good you do, they may give praise to your Father in heaven."

March 17th, 2004
A special report published in BusinessWeek says: Once the undisputed leader [in technology development], America is now under assault from countries worldwide. How did this happen, and will the U.S. be able to fight back? Washington's priorities may be [a] factor making it hard for the U.S. to stay on top... Outside of Defense, research funding has largely been concentrated on the life sciences and info-tech research.

I don't want to call this the C30 cause this is not a coupe. So I feel calling this three-door Volvo premium compact as V30 is about right.
Just toying with the idea of Volvo V90 Cross Country.
Here's my take on how the small SUV from Volvo might look. I call it the XC30.
Images may not be re-posted without permission. These renderings were featured in Car & Driver a month ago.
My impression of how the next Volvo S60 might look.
Anyone remembers the Volvo 66? It was the smallest Volvo ever, produced from 1975 till 1980. Here's my idea of what a modern day 66 will look. Personally I like traditional 2-box hatchbacks and 3-box sedans. And I believe the XC90's design and shape can convert well into a city hatchback. These renderings were done […]
Looking back, what if Volvo entered the SUV market as early as the 1980s? I rendered these tall-roofed high-riding Volvo 240 estate using the shape and profile of Jeep Cherokee. Think if this as the never-been predecessor of the Volvo XC90.
I've always wondered why Volvo never consider making an MPV. Seeing how Renault Espace morphed into a crossover, I suppose Volvo foresee years ago that SUVs and crossovers will take over sales of wagons and MPVs. Still, I rendered these with reference to both Volvo XC90 and Volkswagen Sharan.
Do you agree that the new Volvo C Coupe GTE Concept can look like a Volvo?
You know what? If I have the time, resources and place, I'd like to buy and restore a Volvo 340 or 360 sedan. I love the 240 but I always fancy a 340/360. I like that it's tough and heavy. I like that it's small and rear-wheel driven. I like that its gearbox that is […]

Why IUD Access in India Falls Short
With the incentive structures in place for better or worse, women's rights NGOs are working hard to make sure women are given a range of choices and not pushed toward sterilizations. The nonprofit Pathfinder, for example, specifically trains family-planning counselors in what they call a "rights-based" framework, giving women as much information as possible and letting clients guide the process of choosing the right form of contraception for themselves. Other NGOs that focus on women's rights use similar models.

Pathfinder International recognises the importance of engaging with the wider community, including opening dialogues with religious leaders from different faiths as well as Hinduism.

Paul Simon 'n' Edie off the hook
Phew, what a relief! Folk and pop legend Paul Simon won't be going to the Big House anytime soon!
Prosecutors in Connecticut on Tuesday said Simon, 72, and wife Edie Brickell, 48, will not be charged or tried following their arrest in April for disorderly conduct.
The couple, who wed in '92, were nabbed after getting into a shoving match during a domestic argument at their manse in New Canaan, Conn.
They weren't in court Tuesday, but the duo did appear at a hearing last month, telling Judge William Wenzel that their fight was atypical of their relationship.

October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month and it's a good time for schools (including personnel and students), communities, districts, and states to take stock of current efforts to reduce and prevent bullying. Do current school climates make students feel safe, allowing them to thrive academically and socially? Are youth comfortable speaking up if they are being bullied? Are members of the community engaged and are the media aware of best practices when it comes to reporting bullying stories?
In recognition of the efforts to improve school climate and reduce rates of bullying nationwide, the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention (FPBP) are proud to release a variety of resources aimed at informing youth, those who work with youth, members of the media, parents, and schools.

Often when people hear the phrase "peer pressure" they think of how young people can influence each other in negative ways. However, peer pressure can also apply to how youth can be positive and supportive role models to others. As a high school student, Colleen O'Neill had an interest in promoting bullying prevention in schools. Her friends, including Mike Sousane encouraged her to become involved with...

Bullying Prevention Peer Education Project (YHTP!) is a 10-week after-school program where trained high school age youth mentors, with adult supervision, teach elementary and middle school students about the characteristics, risks, and consequences of bullying, and bullying prevention.
For a number of reasons, people can approach the issue of bullying with apathy and skepticism. They may feel it is not an important issue because they don't have personal experiences with bullying or don't recognize when it happens in their communities. Or they may view bullying as typical and expected behavior, or a developmental "rite of passage" for young people.
However, it is possible for a person's apathy and skepticism to shift into awareness, conviction, compassion, and action. This... Continue ReadingPosted in Profiles/Voices from the Field

The White House has declared June as LGBT Pride Month. During this month many organizations are focused on raising awareness about issues, and will celebrate the progress made towards increasing equal rights for those who identify themselves with the LGBT community. President Barack Obama has made efforts towards improving gay rights such as in employment. In the United States, people are still being fired from their jobs for their sexual orientation. President Obama continues to work with Congress to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, so that injustices like this are stopped.
LGBT awareness has led school districts to adopt policies that protect LGBT students. This includes inclusive anti-bullying policies. According to one study (Kosciw, Greytak, Diaz, & Bartkiewicz, 2010) 84% of LGBT students report being bullied in school. In addition... Continue ReadingPosted in Specific Groups
