- 2013 World Food Prize to go to three biotechnology pioneers
- Biotech work of the winners

Three pioneers in the development of biotechnology-derived crops have been named as recipients of the 2013 World Food Prize.
The winners of this year's prize, created by the late Dr. Norman Borlaug to honor leaders in the fight to defeat world hunger, were announced at a ceremony at the U.S. State Department where Secretary of State John Kerry was the keynote speaker.
The scientists – Marc Van Montagu of Belgium and Mary-Dell Chilton and Robert T. Fraley, both of the United States, will be awarded the World Food Prize at the 27th annual Laureate Award ceremony at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines on Oct. 17.
"Hunger is a trap that prevents people from realizing their God-given potential," Secretary Kerry said in Washington Wednesday (June 19). "Food drives life. And the struggle for food is a struggle for life. This makes hunger an economic issue, a national security issue – and without a doubt a moral issue."
The selections are expected to create controversy among organizations working to end hunger, some of whom have opposed the increasing adoption of genetically modified or GMO crops of corn, soybeans and cotton.
In announcing the names of the 2013 Laureates, Ambassador Kenneth M. Quinn, President of the World Food Prize, emphasized the impact and potential of their work.
"These three scientists are being recognized for their independent, individual breakthrough achievements in founding, developing, and applying modern agricultural biotechnology," Quinn said. "Their research is making it possible for farmers to grow crops with improved yields, resistance to insects and disease, and the ability to tolerate extreme variations in climate."
In a written statement, Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, an Indian scientist and chairman of the World Food Prize Laureate Selection Committee, said the award is especially fitting this year.
"2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the double helix structure of the DNA Molecule by James Watson, Francis Crick and Morris Wilkins," he said. "During the last 60 years, the science of molecular genetics, also referred to as New Genetics, has opened up uncommon opportunities for shaping the future of agriculture, industry, medicine and environment protection."
Building upon the scientific discovery of the Double Helix structure of DNA in the 1950s, Van Montagu, Chilton, and Fraley each conducted groundbreaking molecular research on how a plant bacterium could be adapted as a tool to insert genes from another organism into plant cells, which could produce new genetic lines with highly favorable traits.

TCL > July 2013 Issue > Montgomery Dorsey (1900–79)
About the Author
David L. Erickson, the Colorado Bar Association Historian, is the author of more than sixty articles, stories, essays, and historical studies. He is the author of Early Justice and the Formation of the Colorado Bar, a CBA-CLE publication. His two-volume business law reference book, Colorado Corporate Forms, a West® publication, has been updated annually for twenty-nine years. For many years, his law practice has emphasized commercial and financial transactions, and he has served as an arbitrator of business disputes—firstname.lastname@example.com. Erickson thanks Anne Merryweather Close, the stepdaughter of Montgomery Dorsey, who graciously provided information and insights for this article.
Montgomery Dorsey was senior partner of one of Colorado's most elite and powerful law firms during the early and mid-20th century. He also was an influential banker, a preeminent dealmaker, a civic leader, a major contributor to charitable endeavors and, for a time, a member of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the predecessor organization to the Central Intelligence Agency. He was a quiet and unassuming man, though, who did not seek publicity or personal recognition. To understand how this all came about, one must first look at the Dorsey family history.
Senator Stephen W. Dorsey
Clayton C. Dorsey, the father of Montgomery Dorsey, was born on March 21, 1871 in Sandusky, Ohio, the son of Stephen W. Dorsey and Helen M. Wack. When Stephen Dorsey was elected president of the Arkansas Central Railway Company in 1871, the family moved to Helena, Arkansas. In 1872, the Arkansas Legislature chose him as its junior U.S. Senator,1 and during his single six-year term, the family lived in Washington, DC.
In 1878, the family moved to Chico Springs, Colfax County, New Mexico,2 where the Senator established a cattle ranch southeast of Raton, just off the Santa Fe Trail and near the Maxwell Land Grant. At its peak, he ran 22,000 head of cattle on the property and built a log and stone mansion.3 This home is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The Senator's influence in New Mexico was such that he named one town after himself and another after his eldest son, Clayton, although neither town prospered.4
The Move to Denver
During his years in New Mexico, the Senator was plagued with lawsuits, some dealing with his investment in a mail route through New Mexico and for shares he had sold while in Arkansas. Although he was cleared of wrongdoing, the defense costs of the litigation were considerable, and by late 1892, he was nearly destitute and the family moved to Denver.
His wife, Helen, died at their home in Denver on January 20, 1897 at age 52. Four years later, seeking a warmer climate, the Senator moved to Los Angeles, where he became involved in real estate investments. He died in Los Angeles on March 20, 1916 at age 77.
Clayton Dorsey's Education
Clayton attended Oberlin College and then Yale University, where he received a BA degree in 1890. He did not attend law school, but studied law (or, as it was generally referred to, "read the law") in the Denver office of Teller & Orahood, whose partners were Willard Teller and Harper M. Orahood.5 After passing an oral bar exam, he was admitted to the Colorado bar on February 2, 1893. He remained with Teller and Orahood until 1899, when the firm added another partner and became Teller, Orahood, and Morgan. Clayton practiced alone in 1899 and 1900,6 and then in 1900, he formed a partnership with Willard Teller. The Teller & Dorsey firm continued until 1905. Clayton then formed a partnership with William V. Hodges and their firm, Dorsey & Hodges, continued until 1911.
Clayton's Marriage
In June 1897, Clayton married Marguerite Montgomery, age 21, in Denver. Marguerite was born July 27, 1875 in Dennison, Grayson County, Texas, the daughter of John Calvin Montgomery and Caroline (Carrie) Chilton. Clayton and Marguerite's two children were born in Denver: Helen in 18987 and Montgomery in 1900.8 Helen married Edward G. Knowles, and they had two children. Edward, admitted as an attorney in 1916, served as president of both the Denver and Colorado Bar Associations and practiced with Hughes & Dorsey.9 In 1959, he was elected president of the National Conference of Bar Presidents. Helen died in 1962 and Edward passed away in 1969.
Hughes & Dorsey is Formed
At the center of Denver's elite was attorney Gerald Hughes. Gerald's father, Charles Hughes, moved to Denver in the late 19th century and established himself as one of Denver's most prominent lawyers and politicians. Gerald joined his father's practice after graduating from the University of Denver (DU) College of Law (now the DU Sturm College of Law) in 1899. In 1909, when Charles Hughes was chosen by the state legislature to serve in the U.S. Senate, he turned his prestigious law firm over to his 34-year-old son. Then, when Senator Hughes died in 1911, Gerald invited Clayton to join him in forming Hughes & Dorsey.10
The firm was located in the Hughes Block at the corner of 16th and California Streets in Denver, and then relocated to the International Trust Company Building at the corner of 17th and California Streets. Clayton became a member of the Denver Club; the University Club; the Denver Country Club; and the Denver, Colorado, and American Bar Associations.11 He served as president of the University Club in 1908 and 1909.12
Gerald, a fine lawyer and inveterate law book buyer, was regarded as a "real character."13 He effectively and skillfully ran the Democratic Party in Denver. His contemporary was Lawrence C. Phipps, who ran the Republican Party. (Phipps served as U.S. Senator from Colorado from 1919 to 1931.) Due to their knowledge of the law and their astute cross-party political maneuvering, Hughes & Dorsey was, for decades, considered the 17th Street law firm that got things done in Denver.
Clayton's Practice
Clayton Dorsey practiced general corporate and business law, and handled only large cases. His quiet pursuit of legal principles helped him win a great majority of his cases.14 His work in contesting the validity of a Moffat Tunnel bond issue, which he handled with Montgomery and Gerald, was regarded as a masterpiece.15 Clayton carried the case from court to court until it reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where he won a decision in favor of his clients. A justice of one of the nation's highest courts once said that Clayton was "far and away the most brilliant lawyer ever to appear at my bench."16 He was further described as "one of the greatest figures in the history of Denver legal circles."17 Then, on the morning of his 65th birthday, Clayton walked into the office and summarily announced his retirement.18
Clayton and Marguerite lived at their Denver home at 330 Gilpin Street until his death on September 22, 1948 at age 77. Marguerite, a "one-time Denver social and civic leader,"19 died on March 17, 1960 at age 84. Her will directed that the bulk of her estate be distributed to Montgomery, Helen, and a granddaughter in Denver.20
The Moffat Connection
The First National Bank of Denver (First National) and International Trust, whose names appear throughout this article, were closely connected with Hughes & Dorsey, which for many years represented them. These entities were for a time controlled by David H. Moffat, a Colorado banker, railroad executive, and real estate and mining investor.
Moffat became a stockholder and director of First National in 1865. In 1880, he became president of the bank, and he continued to serve in that capacity until his death in March 1911. International Trust was formed by Moffat on October 12, 1891 to serve the growing needs of Colorado residents. He was the major stockholder of the company and served as president until his death in 1911. At his financial peak, Moffat was one of the wealthiest men in the United States. Before his death, however, he spent most of his fortune on the Moffat Road railroad project.
Montgomery's Education
Montgomery Dorsey was born September 11, 1900 in Denver. He attended Hotchkiss Preparatory School in Lakeville, Connecticut, and graduated from Yale University with a BA degree in 1922. He then attended DU College of Law and graduated in 1925 with an LLB degree. He was admitted to the Colorado bar on September 21, 1925 and joined Hughes & Dorsey,21 which was then located on the fourth floor of the International Trust Building. Known as "Monty," he preferred to maintain a low profile and was seldom photographed or interviewed throughout his professional career.
Monty's Marriages
In July 1926, Monty married Beatrice Talbot Constant, a native of New York City. Beatrice was born October 28, 1901 to William Sinclair Constant, Jr. and Marie Isabelle Talbot-Peterson, and later attended Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.22 In 1927, Monty and Beatrice built a home at 261 Race Street in Denver, but divorced around 1933.
Monty's second marriage was to Margaret Owen Merryweather in 1935. They acquired their permanent home at 177 Race Street, in the Denver Country Club neighborhood. An adjoining home at 161 Race Street had previously been owned by Lawrence C. Phipps, Jr., the eldest son of Senator Phipps. Margaret attended Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and was one of three children of James Owen and Winifred Churchill. James Owens, a distinguished attorney, legislator, and judge, had offices in Suite 604 of the First National Building.
Margaret previously was married to Weir Orford Merryweather (the couple had wed on September 16, 1920, in Denver).23 Weir, born in New Brighton, Cheshire, England in 1896, immigrated with his family to the United States and settled in Montclair, New Jersey. At the time of their marriage, he was the secretary–treasurer and a director of the Salt Creek Consolidated Oil Company (Salt Creek), which was located in the First National Building in Denver.
Incorporated in Maine in 1919, Salt Creek was formed for the purpose of producing crude oil from the Salt Creek Oil Field in Natrona County, Wyoming, approximately forty miles north of Casper. James Owen, Margaret's father, was the president and a director of the company. Warwick M. Downing, a highly regarded oil and gas attorney, served as vice president and had offices in the Equitable Building across the street from the Salt Creek offices.24
Margaret and Weir had two children. Jane, the eldest, was born in 1922, and Anne was born seven years later.25 Margaret and Weir divorced in the early 1930s. Jane Merryweather attended Bennett College in Millbrook, New York, and then married David Farnum Harris. They lived for many years in Salisbury, Connecticut, where she died on October 18, 1910.26 Anne Merryweather married Edward (Ted) Bennett Close, Jr., a native of Greenwich, Connecticut and a 1954 graduate of the DU College of Law. Ted later became a partner at Hughes & Dorsey.
The Boys and Girls Clubs
By 1937, Hughes & Dorsey included partners Gerald Hughes, Clayton C. Dorsey, Berrien Hughes, Montgomery Dorsey, and Edward G. Knowles (Monty's brother-in-law). W. Clayton Carpenter was an associate in the firm. Their offices were in the International Trust Building.
In 1937, a group of Denver's leading citizens also held a series of meetings with the idea of organizing a Boys' Club in Denver. The organizers prepared and filed Articles of Incorporation for the Boys' Clubs of Denver, Inc., with the incorporators being Quigg Newton, Jr. (who was to become Mayor of Denver in 1947), Allan R. Phipps, and Louis E. Gelt. The initial board also included Federal Judge J. Foster Symes, John Morey, Montgomery Dorsey, C.A. Shinn, Jack McMurtry, Thayer Tutt, Rev. E.M. Wahlberg, Hudson Moore, Jr., Henry McAllister, George P. Rider, Paul Loughridge, Arthur H. Bosworth, Judge Stanley Johnson, VanHolt Garrett, and Judge Phillip Gilliam. The group adopted bylaws and made plans for a club building.27
World War II intervened, however, and their plans were put on hold. After the war, the plan was put back in motion, this time under the leadership of Monty's brother-in-law, J. Churchill Owen, the founder of the law firm Holme, Roberts & Owen,28 which in 2011 merged into Bryan Cave. The club was opened in 1961 in an old storage warehouse on West 8th Avenue in Denver. With a budget of only $28,000 and just two full-time staff members, the club recruited more than 800 members in its first year. Then, in 1990, the former Boys' Club became the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, Inc.
World War II Service
After the outbreak of World War II, in 1942, Monty entered the U.S. Army Air Corps as a captain and served a year and a half in the Mediterranean theatre. He then became an aide to General George C. Marshall before being discharged as a lieutenant colonel in 1945.29 While in North Africa, he worked for the newly formed OSS. During this service he received shrapnel wounds to his right leg, which required the use of a cane for the rest of his life.30
The First National Bank
After joining Hughes & Dorsey, Monty began representing First National as its legal counsel and then became a director. The firm also carefully worked its cross-party political connections, to the benefit of its clients and the city of Denver. In 1923, Benjamin Stapleton was elected mayor of Denver. He represented Denver's old guard power elite, dominated by the "First National Bank Crowd" of Monty, John Evans II (a descendant of the second governor of the Territory of Colorado), and Gerald Hughes. This continued until the intervention of World War II. After the war, in 1947, 36-year-old Quigg Newton became mayor of Denver31 and a reformation of the city began.
Following the war, Monty was reappointed to the board of First National. Then, at age 56, he became chairman of First National and served from December 1956 to September 1973. He was only the fifth chairman in the bank's 115-year history. He also became a director of International Trust.32 After International Trust merged into First National, in August 1958, Monty became chairman of the combined organization.
Business and Civic Involvements
While senior partner at Hughes & Dorsey, Monty also served as a director and member of the executive committee of the Great Western Sugar Co. and of the Denver Tramway Corp., until the sale of the assets and operations of the latter company to the City and County of Denver in May 1971. He also was vice president of the A.V. Hunter Trust and vice chair of the board of the Lawrence C. Phipps Foundation,33 as well as a director of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad.34
Organizations and Clubs
Monty was a member of the Denver, Colorado, and American Bar Associations. He also joined numerous clubs, including the Denver Country Club, where he often golfed before his leg injury during the war. His father and his partner, Gerald, also were members.35 In addition, Monty was a member of the Denver Club, the Denver Athletic Club, the Mile High Club, the 26 Club, and the Garden of the Gods Club.36
St. Luke's Hospital
Monty served as a member of the board of directors of St. Luke's Hospital for many years. He also was a committed supporter of, and donor to, DU. In 1991, the Presbyterian/St. Luke's Community Foundation of Denver established the Montgomery Dorsey Annual Memorial Scholarship at the law school in his honor. The scholarship is awarded to an outstanding Colorado resident and law student considering a career in healthcare law. In addition, an annual Dorsey Hughes Symposium on healthcare was initiated in recognition of Monty's longtime support of St. Luke's and as a prominent Denver civic leader. The annual symposium still continues under the sponsorship of the Colorado Health Foundation.
The Sports Franchises
In 1965, Hughes & Dorsey was still thriving. Its attorneys included Montgomery Dorsey, W. Clayton Carpenter, Allan A. Phipps, Raymond B. Danks, Edward B. Close, Jr. (who was married to Monty's stepdaughter Anne), George C. Gibson, and Richard S. Kitchen. Their offices were now in the First National Building, where they oversaw a variety of high-quality business transaction and litigation matters. The firm also litigated several high-profile federal court cases, including one where Ted Close was involved and that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Phipps, like his partners, became a board member of numerous organizations including the Denver Tramway Corp., Cherry Creek National Bank, Belcaro Realty Investment Company,37 International Realty Company, and Highland Hotel Company. The Phipps brothers, Allen and Gerald, the younger sons of former U.S. Senator Lawrence C. Phipps, also had a financial stake in the Denver Bears baseball team.
In 1965, the Phipps brothers became involved in a well-publicized struggle for ownership of the Denver Broncos football team and the Denver Bears. Rocky Mountain Empire Sports, Inc. had major stakes in both organizations. Due to financial difficulties of the controlling family, however, they were looking to sell their interests to any buyer, which could have resulted in the removal of the teams from Denver.
The Phipps approached outside investors about acquiring the teams, but when that was not successful, they talked with Monty about financing the acquisition through First National. An agreement was hammered out where the bank would the lend money for the acquisition and, in addition, would finance the purchase of Broncos season tickets by fans, without interest.38 These agreements, when implemented, ensured the sports franchises would remain in Denver. Allan became the president and a director of the reformed organization and his Hughes & Dorsey partner, Dick Kitchen, became a director.39 Gerald Phipps became chairman of the board.
First National Bancorporation
In 1967, Monty played a major role in the formation of the First National Bancorporation, Inc., the parent holding company of First National, and he became its first chairman. By 1967, First National was out of office space. Its building at the corner of 17th and Welton Streets, built in 1958, was now fully occupied and many of its operations had been moved to offices leased in other buildings. In addition, some of its tenants, along with their valuable bank deposits, were moving due to lack of expansion space. A decision was therefore made to tear down the International Trust Building at 17th and California Streets and construct a new thirty-two story North Tower Building and Plaza on the site. The North Tower building, with its open-air plaza, was completed in 1974, with the bank occupying a little over half of the available space.
Hughes & Dorsey became a tenant on the sixteenth floor of the new tower.40 At the time of Monty's retirement from banking in early 1975, First National Bancorporation had grown to include eleven banks and three subsidiary organizations, and was the largest bank holding company in Colorado. Monty's direct and indirect relationship with the bank had spanned more than forty-seven years.41
Monty's Retirement
After his retirement from banking at age 74, Monty remained the managing partner at Hughes & Dorsey and continued to act as counsel for First National and its affiliated organizations. On his retirement from law, the management of the firm was taken over by Monty's partner George C. Gibson. The firm continued to operate for several years, but because the firm had always remained small and its partners were now retiring, the firm was liquidated in the late 1980s. During Monty's long tenure, Hughes & Dorsey occupied only two locations—first, the International Trust Building, and then the First of Denver Tower and Plaza that replaced it.
A Final Testament
Although Monty's entire career was devoted to the practice of law, he also found time to serve on numerous boards and to be involved in extensive community activity. In his spare time, he was a voracious reader, especially of biographies and history. He acquired an extensive library, which on his death was donated to the DU Sturm College of Law. Throughout his career, he continued to hold the respect of the legal and business community for his professionalism and for his wonderfully rich but subtle sense of humor.42 It is notable that several attorneys mentioned in this article, and with whom Monty worked extensively, have been recognized in previous Six of the Greatest articles. They include Warwick M. Downing,43 William V. Hodges,44 Gerald Hughes,45 John Foster Symes,46 and Churchill Owen.47
Monty died at his home at 177 Race Street on May 25, 1979 at age 78. Margaret died four years later on October 29, 1983. They were buried in a family plot at Fairmount Cemetery in Denver, next to the graves of his parents, Clayton and Marguerite, and his grandparents, Stephen and Helen. A large "Dorsey" obelisk dominates the site.

Is this the point in the thread where we all srart going round in a circular fashion???
Not if I can help it. I've just shifted all the 'SL licensing v Promotion & Relegation' comments into a non-club specific thread of their own here to avoid this becoming the central discussion in this thread.
Please, everyone, stay on topic and use the appropriate thread to discuss the appropriate issue.

There are many species of Crapemyrtle and most of these are native to Asia. We grow two different species here in the United States. The common Crapemyrtle, Lagerstroemia indica, was introduced in 1747 and has been planted all over the South. You can find many aged trees around old home sites. Over the years there have been literally hundreds of selections named with variations of flower colors, growth habits and mature sizes.
In the 1950's, the Japanese Crapemyrtle, Lagerstroemia faurei, was brought to the United States. This cold-hardy Crapemyrtle, with its beautiful trunk coloration and resistance to powdery mildew, was part of an extensive breeding program at the U.S. National Arboretum conducted by Dr. Don Egolf. The goal of the breeding program was to combine the trunk attributes and powdery mildew resistance of the Japanese Crapemyrtle with the variety of flower colors of the common Crapemyrtle. Dr. Egolf introduced over 30 of these hybrids into the horticultural industry of which the variety 'Natchez' has become the most notable selection.
The purpose of this site is to provide information on many of the hybrid or improved varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew. Information on mature size, flower color, growth habit, and trunk coloration is critical for selecting the best tree for a particular spot in the landscape. If you are looking for a variety which will grow to 10 feet tall, it makes no sense to select a variety that grows to 30 feet. Also included within this site are cultural management guidelines for maintaining healthy trees.
Funds for this project were provided by the Urban and Community Forestry Grant Assistance Program administered through the SC Forestry Commission and funded by the USDA Forest Service.

The Champs…finally…Head Home…
Whoa, the road trip is over and all we have to show for it is 4 freakin' wins!…
The schedule makers weren't kind to the Yankees when they put the team on a road trip through Boston and Tampa, the fiercest and most competitive of the Yankees' AL East rivals. Both series started out with a loss, but then the Yankees rebounded to take the final two games of each series. So, to win 4 out of 6 games is a huge accomplishment. I would have been pleased if the Yankees had escaped with a .500 mark.
This series did give me cause for concern with Javier Vazquez. Friday night's loser did not match up very well with the Rays' young sluggers. Well, I guess it depends upon the perspective. Rays fans probably thought it was the perfect match-up. Nevertheless. Javy has some work to do before his next start.
On Saturday, CC Sabathia nearly threw a no-hitter. He made it deep into the 8th inning before his former Cleveland battery mate Kelly Shoppach broke it up with a single. After the hit, manager Joe Girardi pulled Sabathia and replaced him with David Robertson. Robertson gave up a hit in relief so they settled on a combined two-hitter. Girardi stirred up some controversy after the game when he said he would have pulled Sabathia after Shoppach regardless of whether or not he got a hit. CC was at 111 pitches, so it would have been foolish to push him out any further. I am surprised at the backlash that Girardi has faced because I think it was the right thing to do. If this was May or June, it would be one thing. But this was only CC's second regular season start. Deepening the pitch count to 130 or more pitches could have had so many adverse ramifications…short term and long term. With the 10-0 victory, the Yankees had countered the offensive outburst of the Rays on Friday night.
The win set the stage for Sunday's match-up with pitted A.J. Burnett versus James Shields. Early on, it didn't look like the Yankees offense was going to get started. They were thwarted in a few chances, and trailed 2-1 entering the 6th inning. After giving up a one-out double to Robinson Cano, Shields was replaced by former Yankee Randy Choate. Jorge Posada proceeded to hit the homer that put the Yankees in the lead.
The bottom of the sixth inning was interesting when Evan Longoria hit a high pop-up that would have been an out in any other city. In St. Petersburg, it hit a catwalk and landed back on the field near second base for a strange hit. Fortunately, after loading the bases with a walk, Burnett was able to get out of the jam by getting B.J. Upton on an infield fly out.
Nick Swisher also hit his first home run of the season in the game.
So, the Yankees head back to New York with a 4-2, good for second place in the AL East (a game behind division leader Toronto). Next up, is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim…or whatever they call themselves these days. The difficult early season schedule continues as the Yankees now face their fiercest non-AL East rival on Tuesday for Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. The ring ceremony will be held prior to the game, and it is fortunate that the World Series MVP (Angels DH Hideki Matsui) will be in the house to get his ring. Andy Pettitte gets the start for what might be his final Opening Day at the Stadium…
William Perlman/The Star Ledger
Today was a very historic day as Texas Stadium was imploded this morning. I lived in Dallas for 14 years so I had been to Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas a number of times. The most memorable game, for me, was Thanksgiving Day 1987. The Minnesota Vikings were in Dallas to play the Cowboys. The Vikings won it in overtime, 44-38, on a 24-yard touchdown run by Darrin Nelson. I was so elated that day, and I still don't know if my feet touched the ground leaving the stadium. I also saw a number of great concerts over the years. So, when I saw the visual of the stadium collapsing today, I couldn't help but think that part of my past is gone.
Here is a link to a video of the demolition:
Perhaps you've already seen this seat belts ad, but if not, it might be the best one that I've ever seen. This is excellent, and hopefully makes you think twice before you forget to buckle up!

Homer Simpson and the Yankees – there is a joke in there somewhere! lol! I know you've waited a long time to see the WS ring ceremony – enjoy it! You won't have one NEXT season!😉
I saw the video of the old Texas Stadium imploding….it is tough when we lose pieces of our past.
And that seat belt ad? I posted it on my Facebook page a few days ago. It is one of the best reminders of the importance of wearing a seat belts – we have loved ones at home that want to protect us. Very powerful. As the mom of teenaged boys I preach the message daily – BUCKLE UP!!
I'm with you in Girardi pulling CC. I don't know what the big controversy was about. It was CC's second start of the long season. No need to push him, work horse or not. Great road trip…and now the opener. So excited!
That is a great ad, Scott. We won't even turn on the ignition before everyone is buckled in!
I can't say I am missing Texas Stadium! After all, who said the Cowboys need a place to play?😉 The Redskins are my second team, being a DC native, so I can't say that I have many fond memories of the place! But, unless the Redskins decide to field a competitive team, the new Dallas joint won't be much better! The Patriots certainly make up for that, though!😉

Breast feeding my first daughter was no easy task. First month, crazy! I would be completely chapped and bleed. Second month, stopped direct feeding and pumped, which worked and I healed. 3rd month, reintroduced the breast and then I couldn't get her off of my till 12 months later.
I would say it was about 6 months Karley was breastfeeding I started to feel really uncomfortable with her nursing off of me. The sucking and the drawing sensation started to make me develop nausea. Since that point, I really can't stand any brush up against my nipples because they are extremely sensitive and its been 3 years! Does/Did anyone feel like this?
So hears my question. I'm now 36 wks pregnant with my second daughter. I want all the benefits of the breast milk vs. the formula, but how do I cope with this uncomfortable nausea thingie. Should I just strickly pump?

Which A++ list couple are deflecting attention from the lady's drug use finally coming to light? They're feeding the press fake info about their wedding, even though they supposedly eloped years ago
Duh. Brad and Ange.ReplyCancel
Chesticles Simpson. LolReplyCancel
Leave my Angelina aloooone!ReplyCancel
I watched that video of Ange "smacked out" on H and it was really nothing interesting. She could have been hung-over for all we know—she was coherent etc.ReplyCancel
Oops. A+++ I didn't comprehend at first.ReplyCancel
If its due to the recent video released which brings up her "possible" H use in the past, I don't really see the need for current "deflecting" but PR people probably do. After all, PR people need do something in order to be paid.ReplyCancel
Given all I've read, it strikes me that Angie is pretty much a constant and functioning user of heroin.
I went to grad school with someone who wrote his doctoral dissertation while doing loads of heroin. The dissertation then won awards and was published as a book. He's now huge in his field. Hey, some people can handle recreational heroin, I guess.ReplyCancel
If shes been using for years, she could be able to function at a high level and be an active user.
Acting! (*Jon lovitz voice*)
on the surface it seems as if pitt went from one extreme to another in his choice of women but aniston and jolie are very much alike in one aspect…they are both selfish people.ReplyCancel
@figgy I think you can be a functional drug addict but I don't think you can be casual user of heroin.It's a highly addictive drug.ReplyCancel
Ted Casablanca used to have blinds that everyone assumed was Angelina.
Saying this A list actress was getting synthetic heroin from a doctor, it is legal though beats me why a doctor would prescribe it in the first place and that she and others were using it to keep skinny amongst other things. I am assuming this was pre Adderall.ReplyCancel
Yeah not DD.
Isn't this heroin news as old as time though? ?
I think they we'd a few years back on Donna Karen private carribean estate over Christmas or new yearsReplyCancel
I am pretty sure they are already married but they no constantly talking aboot the never ending wedding sells magazine and gives them press for movies. They play the pr game like champions. Once you get married the press loses interest and Brad and Angie are obsessed with their image. As long as they never have the wedding they can constantly talk new fun exciting wedding ideas every time they have to promote something. .ReplyCancel
I thought the rumor was that she was using some kind of morphine patch – something she had a prescription for. I can't see St. Angie putting everything on the line by trying to score H.ReplyCancel
Wasn't the reason for them not getting married yet, that they wouldn't get married until gay couples could?
Well, gay couples CAN now but not in every state. I dunno how precise Brangelina were in their demands for gay coupledom before they would marry.
But if they DID marry and didn't admit it, maybe it's because they didn't want to look like hypocrites if they broke the gay marriage promise.
I can't think of any reason that people would CARE whether they're married or not.
They're kind of boring. Neither of them ever says anything interesting and whatever sex appeal he used to have has kind of drained out of him.ReplyCancel
Dictionary definition of synthetic heroin
synthetic narcotic drug similar to morphine but less habit-forming; used in narcotic detoxification and maintenance of heroin addictionReplyCancel
Naomi Watts/ Leiv S or Kate Hudson/Matt Bellamy as alternative guessesReplyCancel
Medical dictionary says same thing but synonym methadoneReplyCancel
Exactly Sugar T!
After u save the womenand children of the world, the H, as well as tongueing ones brother, is well behind u.
Like the point Sugarbread T made, dangling the marriage carrot in front of the public prob makes them feel powerful.
I also think that they might like to avoid the fight over their fortunes in a nasty divorce.ReplyCancel
@Nutty, are you thinking Fenatyl patches? Well, find me a doctor who will prescribe those babies to me. Also, if this is meant to be Angie, she could be on Oxy's which are absolutely delicious but can still leave you functioning.
Also wanted to add, never been a hater or a Brangaloonie, but I saw Maleficent and just LOVED her in it. Also saw her do various interviews for it, and she seemed to have her shit together, so I doubt she is still chasing the dragon, but could see her still doing oxy's.ReplyCancel
@Basil: I agree that Angie is probably strung out on oxy. Me thinks she relapsed after her breast surgeries, because I can't imagine she went through that without Rx narcotics. Be careful with that stuff, it is very dangerous and has killed many people that I know.ReplyCancel
Angelina has been completely open about her drug use. It was never a secret. That video contained no drug use and no drugs were even shown. It was a boring phone conversation that took place 16 years ago. Everybody yawn. Nobody cared. There have been no PR stories about a marriage and the stories about her filing suit against the DM were just rumors. Mr. X needs to go back to sleep.ReplyCancel
@pip lol Funny but true. She is supposedly talking to her father in that video (and it seems to have been taped post-Gia (which she won a Golden Globe for) and from what I could tell, it seems she was trying to help out a family member get a mortgage. My first thought was her mother, but apparently she was dead at the time. Other sources say it was about her brother.
But the biggest thing that shocked me about the video (other than how completely mundane it was) was her dealer sitting there on the couch with a big assed camera and she never seemed to even notice it.ReplyCancel
I'm not a big Angelina/Brad fan (even though I grudgingly like almost every movie both have done), but I didn't even watch that leaked tape. I do troll Daily Mail but it is obviously a right wing gossip rag (meaning they are mostly full of shit) and so I take anything they post with a grain of salt.ReplyCancel
The video was very boring with Angelina. She just looked really thin and hungover, nothing much new.ReplyCancel
One, there is no such thing as casual heroin use. The white lady takes complete control of your life.
Two I don't think this is Brad and Angie. Her past drug use is too well known for this to be them. She has been looking very thin lately but I still don't think it's them.
Three there are no current marriage rumors about Brad and Angie.
Duhamel and Fergie are married IIRC.
Since Janet Jackson finally admitted that she's married someone I don't think this is her.
I got nothing.ReplyCancel
Angelina's drug use has always been out there. This video is not new. Andrew Morton wrote a bio about her 4 years ago and said she was on heroin the night she won her Oscar. There were also plenty of stills taken from that video. Plus early in her career she talked about everything. Cutting, wanting to be a funeral director, her bisexuality, knife obsession, etc… nothing was off limits. This was in the late 90s/early 2000s. So the "truth" is simply old news, if it's them. And I hope they did elope.ReplyCancel
Yes LowKey- methadone is one of the only meds that relieve neuropathic pain. And the prescription can be tiny. I take half the smallest dose (and have for years) and it gets me through the day with my RSD. I could go higher but I don't want to. The bare minimum that is effective is all I need.ReplyCancel

The designation also honors the church as an important and educational part of local history.
A dedication ceremony to commemorate the event will be held Sunday, May 4 at the First United Methodist Church of Goliad Life Center located at 134 West Pearl in Goliad beginning at noon. Speakers will include Goliad Mayor Jay Harvey, County Judge David Bowman, Goliad County Historical Commission Chairman Bil Montaque, Patsy Light, and Reverend John Alsbrooks of the First United Methodist Church of Goliad. The Goliad County Historical Commission welcomes the public to share in and witness this exciting historical event.
"The Official Texas Historical Marker program helps bring attention to community treasures and the importance of their preservation," said Mark Wolfe, executive director of the THC. "Awareness and education are among the best ways to guarantee the preservation of our state's history. This designation is a tool that will increase public awareness of important cultural resources."
A subject qualifies for a marker if two basic criteria are met: historical significance and age. Historical significance is established by reviewing its role and importance in local history, and there requirement depends on the topic. The THC's Official Texas Marker Policies are outlined in the Official Texas Historical Marker Procedures, which may be obtained by contacting the History Programs Division, Texas Historical Commission, at 512-463-5853 or visiting the web at www.thc.state.tx.us.
Texas has the largest marker program in the United States with approximately 15,000 markers. Seventeen states have used the Texas program as a model; the THC reviews more than 300 marker applications each year. The First United Methodist Church of Goliad marker joins many others found in Goliad County.

"I'm not getting sick," my brain said last night when I got home. "No way, it's not happening. I have too much stuff to do tomorrow; honestly, I just don't have the time."
My body wasn't so sure. "The thing is there's this tickle..."
"A tickle?" my brain interrupted.
"Yes, a tickle. It's right there in the back of our throat. It's the kind of tickle that just might turn itself into a little problem. Tomorrow, it could be a sore throat, then a cough, then who knows. I've seen this type of thing before."
For context, I should explain that the folks in the relatively small office that I work in have all been oh-so-politely taking turns being sick over the past few weeks. I can't remember exactly who started it but it's definitely been making the rounds. (I thought I had escaped… Alas!)
"Look, we have a column to write and editing changes to make tomorrow. Not to mention, the overdue bookkeeping that needs to be done. In addition to that, it's been far too long since we've gone to the gym and it's our birthday in a few days and no one wants to be sick on their birthday. So you see," my brain concluded, "we aren't getting sick."
"Whatever you say," my body said. "Don't say I didn't warn you.
Before I went to sleep, I gargled with salt water and drank some hot tea. Fingers crossed, I had no trouble drifting off to sleep.
I tentatively opened my eyes. Light streaming in. Good. Slept through the night. Good. Swallow to check progress. Pain. Dammit, I'm sick.
"What did I tell you about the tickle? We need to stay home and rest," my body said.
"Don't be silly," my brain said. "We don't need rest, we will feel fine once we are up and moving around."
"I severely doubt that," my body said.
"You'll see," my brain said as I got out of bed. Standing to my feet, I felt the room sway for a moment but then I found my balance. Not a good sign per se, but I would see how I felt after I took the dog for a walk. Perhaps the fresh air would do me good.
Out on the street, the sun was bright, the wind rushed and a chill went through my body. My mind was hazy, my throat painful to swallow. This walking around thing, this was all a big mistake. I was fighting the inevitable. I was sick.
The only thing left to do was get the needed supplies: tissues, cough drops, OJ, EmergenC, couch. The grocery store was a bit of a struggle, the aisles whirled together in confusion and though my list was fairly short, it felt as if I was rounding the store aimlessly many more times than necessary.
Home again, it was settled. It was going to be just Helen Mirren as Jane Tennison in "Prime Suspect" and me today. (For anyone not familiar, it's a great old detective show that recently got added to Net- flix Instant.)
"You were right," my brain said finally, ,after curling up on the couch in relief.
"What was that?" my body said coyly.
"You heard me," my brain said as I drifted off to sleep.

Faith and Family: Parenting Parents can pray, learn to work together, counselor sayscomment (0)
October 3, 2013
By LIsa Keane
Oh the joys of parenthood. It never fails to amaze me how many decisions there are in the world of parenting. Everywhere parents turn, there is a decision to make. What should we feed our child? How soon should we start this or that? What should we do about a certain issue?
As parents face each new decision, conflict is bound to arise. Sometimes the smallest of issues can develop into an all-out battle between spouses.
Parents seeking to resolve the conflict and find a compromise should take an honest look at their own family history, communicate with each other and spend time praying together.
An individual's parenting history greatly influences how that person will parent his or her own children. As a parent, you must be willing to evaluate your own upbringing and communicate your feelings about your childhood experiences. One way to do this is to spend some time sharing stories and talking about the different facets of your childhood.
Another thing parents can do is research different parenting styles and their outcomes. In most parenting literature there are four common parenting styles. It is important to remember that all of these parenting styles fall on a continuum and we rarely fit exactly into one type. The four types are:
Authoritative parenting is a more balanced style of parenting where parents are attentive. Authoritative parents are focused on strengthening their relationship with their child and on teaching their child appropriate behaviors. In authoritative parenting, the older the child, the more influence he or she has in family decisions. However, the parents always maintain a majority vote in family decisions. Authoritative parents clearly communicate their expectations, and when children meet these expectations, they earn rewards. When the expectations are not met, there are reasonable consequences. There is a balance between relationship and rules.
Authoritarian parents are very strict. They focus on rules, often at the expense of the parent-child relationship. If a parent says "because I said so" more than a few times a week in response to their child's inquiries about family rules, that parent may be a more authoritarian parent.
Permissive parents focus on the relationship, often at the expense of the rules. Children of permissive parents are sometimes hard to be around for parents who practice one of the other styles of parenting. Permissive parents often see their children as "able to do no wrong." As a result, their children are generally accustomed to getting their way and have great difficulty dealing with frustration. Permissive parents may have poor self-esteem and are often uncomfortable with their own personal limitations and challenges.
Uninvolved parents neglect both the relationship and the rules. Their children are perhaps the most unfortunate in that often they will be neglected both emotionally and relationally.
While all parents must decide which approach they will take with their children, most research suggests that an authoritative approach to parenting generally produces well-adjusted children who have healthy relationships.
Typically children raised by authoritative parents are energetic, friendly, self-reliant, cheerful and achievement-oriented.
Ultimately your goal is to work together with your spouse to parent your child in a way that glorifies God. As parents, our job is neither to raise perfect children nor to be perfect ourselves. Our job is to point our children to Christ in the way we love and guide them.
Leslie Fields, in her book "'Parenting is Your Highest Calling' and 8 Other Myths That Trap Us in Worry and Guilt" (WaterBrook Press, 2008), states this very eloquently: "If I pursue God first as my highest call and am satisfied in His love, then I am freed not to love my children less but to love them rightly."
As parents, we must seek God in our decision making and not only work to communicate with our spouses but to communicate with God about the decisions we have to make. Seek out God's guidance together and pray for the wisdom only He can provide.

Off to a bad startNovember 05,2013
Off to a bad start
I just wanted to write because I keep hearing about all of the glitches on the Vermont Health Connect website. I have worked on many similar projects. Now I will say for $90 million the developers should have threw in a yacht, a mansion, and a new website for every business in the state. We should be expecting that there are going to be glitches, no one should be shocked.
Why should we expect glitches? First off is there is no way to know how that website is going to react to people using it, until they are using it. Where are we going to get 10,000 beta testers? Databases and computer code react a lot differently when you have 60 people testing then when you have even 300 using it.
Now when you try to put this onto a tight deadline it makes it even worse. Then the developers are under pressure to get things done fast, which results in short cuts, sloppy code, and a rush job. The best thing to do is to accept the fact that there are glitches. Every site has glitches, all you can do is fix them when they arise. Most of them are nobodys fault. Complex sites require the coordination of several people, who all probably have a different code style.
The browser companies update their software, security loopholes are discovered, depreciating code. Its an ongoing battle to keep up with technology. There is a big difference between having a content management system built, then building a site that is going to have thousands of people using it. We are not dealing with something that has been around since the beginning of time. In 2003 web services were invented, so nobody has more than 10 years of experience in them. Even XML itself is having its 15th birthday this year.
Patience and understanding from clients is key to producing quality. If I had a dollar for every time I had to explain that you need a lot more then $1,000 to produce a site like Facebook or Yahoo I would be a rich man. However, for even 1 percent of $90 million that site could have been produced right here in Vermont. We have paid enough to have an exchange built for every state, providence, and country, in the world. My only advice is to find someone a little better priced to handle the ongoing development of it or $90 million is just the beginning. The programmers in Virginia dont know any more then the programmers here in Vermont, and at least if they are in Vermont you can drive over to their place and see how things are going. Would be a lot less of a risk, I have been to Virginia and worked with many people there. Vermonters are a lot smarter.

Dairy feed cost situation is night and day different from a year ago.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
The West is scorching, yet much of the Midwest and East are soggy. And while crops there generally got a very slow start, high soil moisture levels are nonetheless driving rosy harvest outlooks for major dairy cattle feeds through the roof.
As a result, futures prices for corn, soybeans and wheat have plunged to levels that dairy producers could only wistfully dream about this time a year ago.
As seen in this table from the CNN.Money website on July 2, fall delivery contracts at the Chicago Board of Trade for all three commodities closed at or near their 52-week lows.
Had anything even remotely close to them been available to milk producers a year ago, many of those who were forced out of business might still be here today.
The magnitude of the price turnaround is remarkable. Corn now costs a third less. Soybeans and wheat are more than a fourth less. An equal-parts ton of all three feeds that cost $399 at their highs a year ago would have cost just $268 earlier this week.
But that's just half of the reason why milk producers are doing much better this year. Higher milk prices and drastically better margins are the other half. The June Class III price last year was $15.63 per hundredweight; this year it is $18.02.
Summer has just begun, though, so there's still plenty of time for things to go wrong.
The author has served large Western dairy readers for the past 36 years and manages Hoard's WEST, a publication written specifically for Western herds. He is a graduate of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, majored in journalism and is known as a Western dairying specialist.
Join Hoard's Dairyman next Monday, July 8 at noon (Central time) for the "Playing the crop-year hand we've been dealt" webinar. Mike Hutjens will present. He will discuss challenges with winter-killed alfalfa, delayed corn planting and higher cottonseed costs. Managers need to look at their forage and feed strategies as weather continues to impact all of us. Multiple alternatives will be discussed, while keeping in mind profitability and cow health.
