What is in this article?:
- Anthony Reed and his family have been growing peanuts since the 1940s.
- Chester Reed began raising peanuts for the government.
- Farmer says, "We don't have any future stability with the markets."
PEANUT FARMER Anthony Reed is particularly proud of his 2012 peanut crop which rivals the 2011 grade and yield numbers.
Labor management
Perhaps the most unique feature of Reed's operation is his labor arrangement. He hires no help, relying instead on his neighbors and family. "The small acreage farmers in central Oklahoma and Texas rely on each other, sharing equipment and help. This is one of the things that does make us unique. We can help each other on the spur of the moment." For instance, when frost threatened his peanuts in early November, he made some calls. "My best friend came and we had people out here all day. When he's ready to work his cattle in the spring, I'll go help him."
Reed talks with pride about his farm, family and community. "I've always loved the peanut business. It's a very specific, specialty crop." On the downside, Reed has watched as the industry changed. "A lot of infrastructure has been lost, resulting in fewer growers."
Reed, like other farmers, voices concern over the future. "I'm concerned that we don't have any future stability with the markets. I was raised under the old programs in which the government sets the support price for manufacturers."
In addition to row crops, the Reeds also run a cow/calf operation with approximately 150 head of Maine Anjou. He laughs when thinking about his parents' views on cattle. "Mom loved them; Dad hated them!"
Although Reed and his wife Karen talk about retiring one day, he says he'll always have a few cows and will grow peanuts. "I don't know if I'll ever retire. There's nothing I love more than sitting on a tractor and watching the ground turn over." With five children and nine grandchildren, there's never a lack of motion. "They all love to come out to the peanut field."
Humble, Reed deflects any attention from his own accomplishments. "He won't tell you, but he really is the one who makes it all work. He has vision," says his wife Karen.
In the past, Reed has been a member of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission and served on the board of the Southwestern Peanut Growers Association. He has also earned the distinction of having the highest grade in his county.
When asked about advice to aspiring farmers, he hesitates. "I'd tell them to get a good education first. Then if you still choose ag and it fits, try it. It's just difficult to get into agriculture today unless your family has been in it."
It is those relationships of which he is most proud. "To be able to have the community and friendships...I really appreciate the community of farmers across this state and the life it provides me."

Skip to comments.Huckabee looks again at Republican presidential bid
Posted on 09/30/2011 12:02:11 PM PDT by Hawk720
Mike Huckabee has been approached by Republican and conservative activists unhappy with the current crop of presidential hopefuls and he is considering entering the fray, two sources who have spoken with Huckabee told Reuters.
The former Arkansas governor, who made a splash by winning the Iowa caucuses as a candidate in 2008, announced last May on his Fox News show that he would not enter the race.
But the conservative Huckabee, who appeals to evangelical Christians and is seen as an effective campaigner, is taking another look at jumping in, said the two sources, who are close to Huckabee. They spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity.
"He is entertaining the request for conversations about it," one of the sources said. "I do not think it is a complete 100 percent 'I'm reconsidering' but he hasn't shut the door on it."
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Oh for gosh sakes! This is getting ridiculous!
They have to get an amnesty guy in there. It's so obvious!
Ugh. God. Like a zombie or a vampire, just when you thought he was dead and gone and it was safe again, Nanny Huckabee—Compassionate Conservatism on steroids—rises from the grave. I won't be voting if he is the nominee.
Reuters ... pure sensationalistic BS
It's one thing to be discontent with the field of candidates.
It's quite another thing to then suggest Mike Huckabee as the solution.
So, he admits he is considering, does this mean he loses his Faux News gig?
This would be almost as much fun as if Jebbie got in too!
—Oh for gosh sakes! This is getting ridiculous!—
It really is. I came in here to say this election cycle is getting stupid. I jokingly say that even I could beat Obama, but it looks like those that have ever really tried to be president smell the blood in the water and are jumping in with gusto.
Problem is, it isn't Obama they are going to have to run against. It is all the other folks running against Obama.
But this craziness does expose just how awful Obama has been and how easy a lot of people believe he is going to be to unseat. Personally, I think the dems will do it for him.
By the time this is all over, FOX won't have many contributors.
First Christie, now Huckabee...
Fat candidates are the "in" thing now?
He has too high Negatives.
He is more interested in Making money at Fox.
Fox would have to fire him first.
He carries too much baggage
Did I get all the Sarah Derangement Quotes right? I mean That's what I hear all time on Sarah, does it apply to Huckabee as well?
There won't be a single new entry into the race folks, period.
Reuters, nuff said
Ooooh! Ooooh! Me, too! I wanna run! CanIcanIcanI?!!?!?
This is crazy. It's too late for all of them. The field is set.
I've been saying from the start that its a weak field. Huckabee won't make it any stronger though. Its either going to be Romney or Cain.
His running and other RINOs running might be a good thing. Split the RINO vote in the primaries and let a conservative win.
You said it, honey.
We've had three debates already and that's an opportunity for US, the voters, to begin vetting our candidates.
IMHO, people who don't show aren't too interested in my vote or my money.
The field has already been parsed down to three contenders. A RINO from hell, a compassionate conservative who can't speak, and a solid conservative who's so far right that he'll risk alienating some swing voters.
But it's a pretty good representation of who we are, as a party. We don't need any more cooks in the kitchen.
Jeez.... the Establishment Republicans are desperate to counteract the Tea Party influnce! Wonder who is talking to McCain and his pet poodle Graham?
At this point it wouldn't surprise me if Bob Dole was considering coming out of retirement and running again...
is this a bad dream or what?
Illegals have more GOP candidates running for GOP nomination than US citizens. Big Government pro-tax pro-illegal Bigot is the last thing we need.
I swore I never vote for Dem, but if Huckabee is the GOP candidate, I'll rather vote Obama (or Ron Paul in his 3rd party quest).
@RealClearScott Scott Conroy
HuckPAC's Hogan Gidley: [Huckabee]'s made his mind up, and hes still comfortable with that decision.
2 minutes ago
Yeah, I figure somebody is going to announce Anita Bryant is thinking about tossing her bonnet in the ring. :p
Funny. That's how many feel about Perry.
"First Christie, now Huckabee...
Fat candidates are the in thing now?"
Wouldn't you want somebody that weighs enough to play offensive lineman in the NFL to run interference for you?
(to split your primary opponents vote; maybe I was taking the analogy too far)
This is nothing more than the dems/liberals/commie thugs trying to mess up the Republican race. Next it will McRino thinking of running....
Yes it does - and it's nice of you to admit it applies to Sarah...
"Preacher" Hucklebee needs to remember this verse in the Holy Bible(KJV), James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
You go Huckabee! Far, far away as FAT, erh, as fast as you can.
in fact you could run with Christie and shed some Lbs.
Until Cain jumped up, I would have responded to the "the field is set" with "We're doomed!"
Wishful thinking run amok.
Heavens no, he is a white male.
When will Mike Ditka announce?
oh good grief
Lord, please save me from the GOP...
I didn't even read this but I have one word for him...NO!
No conservative should ever approach Huckabee asking him to run for President.
The crazy thing is..........................he could probably win. I for one like him more than Perry or Romney.
Sadly, its how a lot of people feel about a lot of candidates, yet we have to pick one of them. I just hope Romney doesn't win by default.
Heck, why not? Maybe we can get McCrazy out of mothballs and stick him in there again too.
I'm waiting for Tokyo Rove to throw his hat in the ring. /s
And his li'l buddy Goober Graham.
Either that or a box of doughnuts that no one can finish.

'The X Factor' Recap: The Contestants Battle It Out
I've never watched 'The Voice' past about fifteen seconds of the spinning chairs rounds, but I've always been told there was something called the battle rounds where the contestants sing at each other in a means of vocal warfare.
I also know that 'The Voice' has been annihilating 'The X Factor' in the ratings both in America and abroad. It's hard for me not to think the latest addition to boot camp of competitive duets was not in some way a response to its rival singing show.
What's worse is that despite the drama, we didn't get any winners from these battles. They just went, sang, and left the stage with only a few hushed comments from the judges to take away from the duels.
That's not going to stand here. Here are the winners of each of the featured singing duels from last night's show:
Boring Girl 1 vs. Boring Girl 2
So boring I don't even remember who sang. I do know they sang 'Landslide' in a manner that would make a funeral seem like children's birthday party by comparison. The judges were predictably bored and silenced them as quickly as possible. This match was too boring to call. It's a draw.
Beatrice Miller vs. Carly Rose Sonenclare
In the battle of the 13-year-old girls, creepy was the real winner as their song choice was 'Pumped Up Kicks'. Lyrics about hand-rolled cigarettes and gun crime made this half-pints seem like those creepy kids in horror movie trailers. Carly did, however, hit some very staggering notes, considering her age and I completely forgot Beatrice existed once her competitor hit the mic. Carly wins this battle.
Vino Alan vs. David Correy
It's the battle of the tattoos with Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On?' as the soundtrack. Vino absolutely blew a very mediocre David out of the ring with his rock solid rock rasp and an intensity not usually seen in these singing competitions. He was so good, he inspired LA Reid's first closed-eyed air conducting session of the season. It wasn't good enough for Vino though, as he went into a blind rage after he was done, insisting he'd cost himself a shot. The judges didn't seem to agree and I think Vino was the clear winner in this duel.
Dinah vs. Diamond.
Another battle of youngsters. The performed a pretty cool slowed-down version of "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson. This led to a little bit of oversinging and not a lot of bright spots. I'll give the slight edge to Dinah but neither really wowed.
Sister C vs. Lauren
This was a quick shot, but worth mentioning as Lauren scored three knockouts by outsinging the trio by herself. Plus, Sister C got tagged as "annoying" by Britney. Ouch.
Willie Jones vs. Tate Stevens
This was supposed to be a country battle except they sang Babyface instead of country. Willie totally botched his lyrics, and barely even sang when he remembered what he was supposed to be singing. Tate, on the other hand, turned the song into a cool country ballad while Willie just stood and watched in awe. Tate Stevens in a first round TKO.
Arin Ray vs. Normani Hamilton
Arin's a former Intensity member from last year – the Kidz Bop abomination that got mercifully voted off early. They discussed how much they needed chemistry at their duet, but it seemed more like the typed of staged acting you'd see in a grade school play. Plus neither of them could really sing. I'll give it to Normani since she didn't make me watch Intensity last year.
Jillian vs. LaTasha
After a big bragadocious pep talk in which LaTasha basically said everything short of that she was going to eat Jillian's children, LaTasha got three lyrics out before she broke down and said, "I can't do it!" Really? You can't sing? It's not like you're going into battle here. Doesn't seem like that tremendous of a task. Y'know. For a singer.
Jillian tried to pick her up but eventually had to go into her own half. She absolutely nailed it with her cool smoky voice. An absolute blowout here. LaTasha never even answered the opening bell.
Leopard Face vs. Paige Thomas
Leopard Face went with the, "I'm not here to make friends" cliché of all clichés! Who could ask for more before the start of this battle?
Paige was super squeaky and off-tune and out of pitch the whole time. Leopard Face was a little over emotional, but she's a better singer. Leopard Face wins.

Riboflavin Deficiency
The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for riboflavin was revised in 1998, with the goal to prevent riboflavin deficiency. Clinical signs of deficiency in humans may appear at intakes less than 0.5-0.6 milligram per day and excess urinary excretion of riboflavin can be seen at intake levels of approximately 1 milligram per day. Riboflavin deficiency (ariboflavinosis) can be associated with weakness, throat soreness/swelling, tongue swelling (glossitis), angular stomatitis/cheilosis (skin cracking or sores at the corners of the mouth), dermatitis (skin irritation), and anemia. Good dietary sources of riboflavin are milk (and other dairy products), eggs, enriched cereals/grains, meats, liver, and green vegetables (such as asparagus or broccoli). Riboflavin is easily destroyed by exposure to light (for example, riboflavin in milk stored in clear glass bottles).
Particular groups of people may be particularly susceptible to riboflavin deficiency, including the elderly, those with chronic illnesses, the poor, and those with alcohol dependence.
Adults (over 18 years old)
The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults (by mouth) is 1 milligram for female adolescents (14-18 years old); 1.3 milligrams for male adolescents (14-18 years old); 1.1 milligrams for female adults (older than 18 years); 1.3 milligrams for male adults (older than 18 years); 1.4 milligrams for pregnant women (any age); and 1.6 milligrams for breastfeeding women (any age).
Children (under 18 years old)
The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for infants and children (by mouth) is 0.3 milligram for 0-6 months old; 0.4 milligram for 7-12 months old; 0.5 milligram for 1-3 years old; 0.6 milligram for 4-8 years old; 0.9 milligram for 9-13 years old; 1 milligram for female adolescents (14-18 years old); and 1.3 milligrams for male adolescents (14-18 years old).

|SOD: Daniel Leaves Jennifer; 1/31/12 issue

Gone, But Not Forgotten!
IA, with everything you said about Jennifer. My intention about Daniel was more how he feels about what is going on in the SL. I honestly believe he is a tad bit remorseful. Esp. on his last day, he mentions about all the bad relationships and memories in Salem. I am jumping the gun a bit, but maybe he considers Jennifer part of those relationships/mistakes. Even if Jennifer is responsible for this situation, it may not be how others see it. I got the impression that he is concerned about what others think and maybe is ready to stop making the same mistakes he's made in the past. It was a strange feeling, but Melanie was also singing the same tune in a very recent epi regarding her Abby & Chad situation. So, I put 2 and 2 together, and that leads me to believe that the Jonas, black sheep of Salem, are trying to turn over a new leaf. I think Dan is aware of Jack's situation, and he understands the big picture surrounding it, as he has mentioned to Jack in convo a few times. I also thinks that Dan loves her in some way, even more than Jen loves him. Like he is ready to move on and she is not. I will not pity Daniel, but say that, at this moment he is more realistic about what is going on. Jennifer still has her head stuck in the sand somewhere. I am not pro Daniel, by any means, but feel that I can be still be objective. I hope you understand.

I understand :) I do think in the weeks leading to Daniel's exit he was being more objective than Jennifer had been all last year. But at the same time I don't believe that Dan/Jen are over. I still expect Jen to go running to Daniel when he returns. Now whether he will welcome her remains to be seen.

TGI Spring! Banks Upbeat After Winter's Wallop
Snow slowed down surveyors and planners, which put a chill on construction lending, CEO Chris Maher said during a quarterly conference call. "I do think the weather had an impact there," he said. "We think that will strengthen probably a little bit in future quarters."
The company's fee income fell 15% from a year earlier, and CEO David Ramaker said part of the decline was due to decreased consumer activity and a higher occupancy expenses "as an exceptionally cold and snowy winter across Michigan impacted consumer behavior."
Wintrust has a national mortgage platform and the "Arctic weather" across the country pushed mortgage revenues "off a cliff" during the first quarter, CEO Ed Wehmer said. "We will talk to you again, when, hopefully, it is warm in July," he said at the close of his company's conference call.
Nasty snowstorms discouraged people from house hunting, Kelly King, chairman and CEO of BB&T, said during a conference call. "People didn't even go out of their houses to look for houses," he said. "As you get into spring, people will be back out."
At Fulton, branch closures tied to winter weather are usually limited to Pennsylvania, CEO Phil Wenger said during a recent conference call. "This year, we had weather-related events in every area that we operate in," including New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia. "It just seemed like we never had the whole operation open."
The company reported $1.3 million in winter-related expenses in the first quarter, with most of the costs tied to snow removal, CEO Kevin Cummings said during a conference call.
Bankers are optimistic that they will bounce back after a harsh winter in almost every part of the country raised their snow removal costs, slashed mortgage income and slowed overall customer activity.

Skip to comments.[Liberal] Ruth Marcus: Obama should know better
Posted on 04/04/2012 7:34:02 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
To be clear, I believe the individual mandate is both good policy and sound law, well within Congress' powers under the Commerce Clause. I think overturning the mandate would be bad not only for the country but for the court itself. Especially in the wake of Bush v. Gore and Citizens United.
And yet, Obama's assault on "an unelected group of people" stopped me cold. Because, as the former constitutional law professor certainly understands, it is the essence of our governmental system to vest in the court the ultimate power to decide the meaning of the Constitution. Even if, as the president said, it means overturning "a duly constituted and passed law."
The president went too far in asserting that it "would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step" for the court to overturn "a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress." That's what courts have done since Marbury v. Madison. The size of the congressional majority is of no constitutional significance. We give the ultimate authority to decide constitutional questions to "an unelected group of people" precisely to insulate them from public opinion.
I would lament a ruling striking down the individual mandate, but I would not denounce it as conservative justices run amok. As I listened to the arguments and read the transcripts, the justices struck me as a group wrestling with a legitimate, even difficult, constitutional question. For the president to imply that the only explanation for a constitutional conclusion contrary to his own would be out-of-control conservative justices does the court a disservice.

These same liberals, the ones who helped Zero gain power, the "enlightened ones," will be some of the first to go under a Zero-unleashed regime. Did they learn nothing from the Hitler regime?
I wonder where ol' Ruth would place the limit of power under the Commerce Clause.
Does she think that was placed there by our founders to allow complete government control of our lives for our own good?
Probably, Yes.
God forgive me, but I hate and despise these people.
he is taking flak from some on the Left because "we told ya you should have done Single Payer, dumbass!"
9th Circuit does it all the time, overturning duly passed laws, albeit feloniously...
Needless to say the libs are slow learners.
Definite proof of liberal delusional thinking.
And yet, Obama's assault on "an unelected group of people" stopped me cold. Because, as the former constitutional law professor certainly understands, it is the essence of our governmental system to vest in the court the ultimate power to decide the meaning of the Constitution.
This may be the first recorded evidence that delusional liberals are developing an ability to recognize the Constitution. Could be career suicide.
"a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress."
A strong majority of democrats? It certainly wasn't a 'strong majority' of the entire congress.
I know it doesn't matter...but I see Bammy planting the seeds of discontent: The court is over-ruling the will of the people!....even though the majority of Americans are opposed to bammycare.
Anyone who had any doubts can now be assured that either 1) out President is an ignorant man, or 2) our President is a manipulative liar. Of course, the third option is that he's both. I despise him.
When Barry begings to get under the thin skin of American Liberals, maybe folks are walking up.
LOL the commerce clause itself is unconstitutional.
Yep. She nails it. This is not about the health care mandate or Obamacare.
This is about Obama's statements about the Supreme court. And in those few remarks is a wealth of information about him. And it is all bad.
Again, this is not about how the supreme court decides. It is about what Obama said about the court in general. It is damning. He really stepped in it this time and intelligent people know it.
Sounds more to me like somebody looking for cover before the lid comes off of this can of worms The 0 kicked over.
...and all he's doing is lying to cover lies and depending on the media to cover for him.
Real bad time to be a 'rat at ANY level. Much more of this stuff and The 0 is going to flush himself down the toilet, and the DNC, all the libs and the media are just going to have to hope that they don't go as well.
I'm really, truly Sorry 'Bout That. (Check with one of my brothers for the translation.....)
This liberal is too stupid for her own safety. If she is a supporter of the mandate and Obamacare, then she ought to be smart enough to understand that it is in no way authorized by the Constitution, just like most of what the feds do these days. As a result, the job of the Supreme Court is political, to allow socialism and require socialism when conservatives manage to pass a conservative rollback law. Its decisions are not based on words, or reason or principle, but on what the liberal agenda demands. Obama, from his perspective, is right to go after the Supreme Court for standing in the way of progress. He is a consistent tyrant. This lady is for the rule of law (doing what the Supremes say) but wants the SC to act unlawfully. And she has no idea that is what she believes.
To date: The Supreme Court has declared 149 laws enacted, and passed, by Congress, to be Unconstitutional.
Why did they specify that the power granted was for commerce "between the States" if it was, in fact, the power to regulate ALL commerce, all activity that might have an effect upon commerce, and even non-activity that might have an effect upon commerce?
One can only hope that they realize that the Constitution protects liberals as much as it protects conservatives.
Thomas Jefferson
"With respect to the two words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators."
Constitutional architect James Madison in a letter to James Robertson
"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions."
James Madison, 1792
I'll take their word for it!
Obama doesn't understand federalism...he does not understand the concept of separation of powers.
What is becoming clear is that the msm is protecting him from demands he show his college grades. This man was an affirmative-action admittee, the Law Review needed a black face at its head.
The more this guy is off is teleprompter...we continue to catch glimpses of his real persona. He's not especially bright. He does not understand how the legal system works...he knows one thing...community organizing...he's a black Alinsky.
No birth certificate, no ss #, faked selective service record...there's no there, there.
This guy's a fake.
Promoting the general welfare was a PURPOSE behind those powers granted - it was not itself a power granted.
Regulation of commerce between the States is a power granted to Congress. But if it is the power to regulate ALL commerce - and any activity that might effect commerce - and even non-activity that might effect commerce - then our founders did not bequeath to posterity a government of limited and enumerated powers - but one of limitless and innumerable powers.
They'd better start defending those Supreme Court justices before some Chicago gargoyles start arranging "accidents".
My purpose in posting the quotes was to draw a parallel.
If the founders had intended that the federal government to have the power to regulate anything that might conceivably affect commerce they would have said so and they most assuredly did not!
Repeat a lie often enough, the Democrats and their newsrooms know, and some people eventually believe it.
The skinny little POS Ubama was no "constitutional law professor". He was basically a guest lecturer who was little more than an occasional substitute teacher for the real professors.
Here is an interesting recent post from freeper, AnAmericanMother:

"He was an "adjunct professor" = a non-tenure-track resume-enhancer for local lawyers to 'give back' to their alma mater. It's also a way for the law school to keep in touch with local law firms or (in Obama's case) do a favor for some influential local politician.
"I was an "adjunct professor" for years at my law school, but I was never under any illusions as to the importance of it or that it meant that I was a particularly learned person or great lawyer. I was helping out my school and getting something nice and public-spirited to put on my resume, nothing more.
"-- this sort of position I suppose is technically speaking a "professor" because it's in the title, but it is either unpaid or carries a very small honorarium. IIRC, I got the whopping sum of $200 for a whole semester's work. Didn't even pay for my outlay in gas and paper, never mind my time."
"Article I, Section 8 - Powers of Congress
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;..." and nothing more!
Obama got paid for shaking down New York banks in the "redlining" suits, and made it big in the Shirley Sherrod "black farmer" political fraudsuit against the Agriculture Department. You remember, the one with more black plaintiffs than black farmers?

Jennifer Lopez Confirms Return To 'American Idol'
Jennifer Lopez confirmed recent stories that she'll be returning to her judge's chair on the upcoming season of American Idol.
The singer told show host and Los Angeles area radio show host Ryan Seacrest that she's got a lot going on right now and it's not the best time for her to add to her workload, but she's thrilled about it.
"To be honest, right now is the worst time for me to stop and do Idol," she told Seacrest. "I'm doing two movies and I have my album coming out... but I'm doing it because I want to. I love it and I've had such a good time with it.
"When things are meant to be, they kind of just find a way back into your life... I know that people like to make a big deal about money... but I do it because I love it... I'm really excited about this year," she adds. "I'm glad that they wanted me back even though I said no last year."
Lopez made $15 million on her last season of the show (2012) and reports says she'll be getting at least a couple million more this time around -- which is probably enough to get someone "really excited" to squeeze something into their busy schedule.
Last month Lopez's boyfriend Casper Smart let the news slip that she'd be returning to the show.
J. Lo will join Harry Connick Jr, who was confirmed as one of the show's judges for this season over the weekend, and Keith Urban, the lone returning judge from last season.
The singer left the show prior to last season after two years of judging alongside Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson, who had been with the show since it's first season.
She was replaced by Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, both of whom left the show following its 12th season, along with Jackson.
Urban, who replaced Tyler, announced his return to the show in July.
The 13th season of "Idol" kicks off this winter.

Everton have six potential combinations in midfield this season involving Darron Gibson, Leon Osman and a pair of new acquisitions in James McCarthy and Gareth Barry. These options decide who partners who at the base of the Toffees' midfield.
In most formations Ross Barkley will feature in a forward berth, flanked by the likes of Kevin Mirallas and Steven Pienaar, while this quartet contest the two deeper berths behind them.
Osman, for one, may eventually compete for these forward roles, but here's a look at the strengths and weaknesses of each of these partnerships and which benefits Everton most going forward.

Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed is confronting a problem greater than any world leader has ever faced—the literal survival of his country and everyone in it. His is the most low-lying country in the world, and a minor rise in sea level would literally erase it from the map.
Join us for a post-film discussion with Paul Madden. Madden is Vice-Chair of the Vermont Council on World Affairs and a long-time water activist who currently serves as technical adviser to Friends of Northern Lake Champlain, working with farmers and municipalities in northwestern Vermont on water quality issues. He was the Executive Director of Friends of Northern Lake Champlain from 2006 to 2012 and calls Enosburg Falls home.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
This command will let you just type c-a b (which means press 'ctrl' then 'a' then 'b'), and screen will save your copy buffer to /tmp/screen-exchange, and then execute xsel to copy the contents of that file into the system's X clipboard.
1. Install Conrad Parker's xsel from http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/software/xsel/
2. Add these lines to your .screenrc
# Add cool line to make copying to x clipboard possible.
# This binds C-a b to copy screen's copy buffer to the system clipboard.
bind b eval writebuf 'exec /bin/sh -c "xsel -i -b < /tmp/screen-exchange"' 'exec /bin/sh -c "killall xsel"'
3. Restart screen.
4. Test it by typing c-a [ to enter copy mode.
5. Select some text using vi movement keys (h, j, k, l, etc...) and starting your selection by hitting the space bar, moving with vi movement keys, and then ending your selection with the space bar.
6. Type C-a b, and screen will use xsel to copy your screen copy buffer to the system's X clipboard buffer.
7. Then you can paste the screen copy buffer into any X program.
Note: If you're using Mac OSX, you can use pbcopy instead of xsel.
Also Note: The second exec in the .screenrc file, which runs killall on xsel, is necessary, because even when you redirect a file to xsel, xsel waits for you to press ctrl-c to kill it, and have it stop waiting for more input. Since xsel forces screen to wait, and I don't want to press ctrl-c, I send the equivalent of ctrl-c with killall causing xsel to write /tmp/screen-exchange to the X clipboard, and then exit. It's a hack, but it works. If you know how to get this to work without a lame hack leave a comment explaining how.
There are 2 alternatives - vote for the best!
If you can do better, submit your command here.
As long as you want less than a screenful, there's always select in your terminal and then paste with middle-click.
@bwoodacre, screen's copy function is much more powerful - it allows block copying so you can copy a block of text without all the hassle of the margins, line numbers etc.
This command is great! I use Ratpoison window, so I prefer using the keyboard to the mouse.
If some find it doesn't work with their WM, then they should try:
xsel -i instead of xsel -i -b since the -b puts into the clipboard, and without the -b it goes (by default) into the primary buffer.
On my WM, Ratpoison, the primary buffer is used instead of the clipboard.
Read man xsel.
There are also other programmes such as xclip and xcb which might be used as well as xsel - though xsel does the job fine.
Pity we have to do the C-a b - I wish there was a way to put it straight into the buffer/clipboard without the extra step....
A very good command - thanks deeelwy!

THE Bookshop of a book collector´s dreams is Elder´s Bookshop on Elliston Avenue, off a right angle of West End Avenue. When I first walked in, I looked up and said, "I´m in heaven!" Lovely place, walk to walk books, floor to ceiling, antiques, rare, hard to find, obscure, dusty, cracking, yellowing, wonderful, beautiful books. Some are antique and coming apart, but also they have very well cared for books for sell. When the books come apart, well, they just sell the pages sheet by sheet: art and painting books, flower books, history with map books. I love the signs up all around the shop: "Please be quiet!", "Do not leave children unattended, the books are very delicate!" "Do not read long passages out loud as respect to others"! "Ask before handling these books!"
The caretakers were very knowledgeable and must have been working there a long time. You could ask for some rare book and back they go into the "Keep Out!" section and come back with a box of musty tomes. My special selections I found? A number of books printed in Berlin from 1823-1844, Hans Christian Anderson fairy tales, children´s books so wonderfully hand painted or drawn pictures, and one very old Russian books of poetry that I brought for my partner. The prices? Those ranged from 6,00 to 10,00 each, quite a bargain I thought. Though there were some old medical journals and children´s books like original Winnie the Pooh books that were 50,00 and more per book. I was happy with what I bought, plus a few bargains from the 1,00 baskets, Star Trek and historical romance.
This was my most favorite shop I have found in any travels. I stayed there for almost three hours not even realizing so much time had past, looking through old prints and rare books. Even I was still looking for certain books, the owner said he would ship if he found old German and Russian books I was interested in. Extremely nice place and fellow.
What to pay Prices vary depending on age of book, condition, etc.
Sometimes its a great favourite past time for me, but only on the things I like or need, not just for the hell of it. Books are a passion, very great, and always a wonderful gift for my man who is a writer and poet. So naturally I went to bookshops.
Borders is very popular, lots of students around, families with children, singles, oh everyone, and they had a very wide selection of books like most bookstores of course, but it was rather boring to me. It is generic basically. You can get the latest fiction books, comics, children´s stories, CD´s and DVD´s, stop and have a cup of coffee and a sticky bun, and which the other browsers. I bought nice kitten and bunny books for Nika, her favorites.
The one we visited is at 2501 West End Avenue/615-327-9656, in a shopping complex with shoes places, and PF Chang´s Chinese Bistro, just across the street from Centennial Park. Traffic can be heavy, both with walkers and drivers, parking spaces can be hard to find. If you get a good space, its best idea to leave your car there and walk up and down the avenue visiting what you wish.
What to pay Average price for books I suppose, whatever is on the bar code, plus some discount areas as well.
The largest bookstore in the USA is situated off of highway TH I-40 in Nashville. On an exterior wall of the store there is a large, neon arrow pointing towards the store itself, visible from the highway. I'm not sure if the store is ranked largest in terms of floorspace or inventory, probably the latter. I came across a video entitled "Every girl wants two dicks." What can I say? It's true.
Fairytales is just a few blocks from my home and during a jog (it was actually more like whimpering and walking) I came across this fun little store. Fairytales is filled with not just books but also toys, art supplies, and tiaras and tutus. I would have loved having a special little place like this around when I was a little rascal. Although I believe that with some more time on the treadmill and a little Bikriam yoga, I might be able to squeeze into the little pink tutu that I fell in love with on my last visit. Here's to having realistic goals!
In the few visits that I have made, I have purchased a set of Angelina Ballerina books for a friend who recently had a daughter and an adorable plush toy set for another little girl. All the prices were more than reasonable and the employees were friendly and even assisted with gift wrapping.
I also can understand how parents could enjoy some of the interactive elements of the store such as their summer reading program, party planning, and story time.
Shopping at Books-A-Million is one of my ZEN experiences !!!
I love going into this huge Book store and getting lost. If I won the lottery, I think I would spend a great deal of the winnings here. I love to read and so do my children. They are also Books-A-Million fans.
I belong to the points program and carry my discount card to gain points for future discounts on my purchases. The aisles are large and the staff is very helpful..if you can't find it..they can and will.
I love this store and when I enter the doorway, I am immediately transformed into a better mood and would like to stay here all day !!!

You've asked, and I'm here to please so I've created a free 2016 declutter calendar containing 12 months worth of 15 minute daily missions that you can print today!
All you need to to grab this printable is sign up (for free) for the 52 Week Organized Home Challenges and newsletter to come directly into your email inbox.
These challenges correspond with the daily missions anyway, so they'll keep you on track with your decluttering!
Click here to sign up if you're already ready to join for free!
The printable consists of 12 calendar pages, plus a list of all 52 weekly challenges that we'll be doing during 2016 together.
Eventually you can get each of these pages separately here on the site, one month at a time. A few days before the new month I update the individual monthly calendar pages (which you can find by clicking the monthly calendar page in the left hand nav bar), and you can print out just that month's calendar. But if you want the entire year all in one place, and not have to wait, then you'll need to subscribe.
I sure hope you'll join me and the over 150,000 others who've already signed up to work on these challenges and get their whole house organized and decluttered in 2016!
Although you can follow along with just the emails from me, plus the calendar, many people begged for more daily interaction during the Challenge.
You asked and so I delivered. I've created a Facebook group called Declutter 365 which does exactly what it sounds like. It follows along with the free 2016 decluttering mission schedule I've created and posts each mission, daily, to help remind you of the challenges and missions, and keep you on track.
Lots of you have also asked me to make sure the daily missions were on Instagram. Again, you ask, I deliver!
I've now begun posting each of the daily missions, plus additional organizing tips and storage solutions ideas each day on Instagram.
I would love to hear from you, sharing your thoughts, questions, or ideas about this topic, so leave me a comment below. I try to always respond back!

March 20, 2013
By Deborah Lockridge
The company studied the most popular friction materials, representing about 70% of aftermarket friction sold, and said trucks equipped with those materials were seeing as much as 96-foot-longer stops or five car lengths.
"We didn't just decide to build bigger brakes," explained Fred Andersky, director of government affairs, during a press event at the Mid-America Trucking Show Wednesday morning. "We put together a system with a larger drum, improved friction and reinforced shoes.
"NHTSA is really only regulating the new vehicles. It's up to the fleet, it's up to the technician, to make sure that reduced stopping distance continues," he says. "Using the parts and friction they used to use isn't going to do it. It's important to think about these new brakes as a system."
The stopping distance regulations have driven the greatest changes in foundation brakes, especially drum brakes, since the move to non-asbestos brake linikngs about 30 years ago, said Gary Ganaway, director of arketing and global customer soltuison for Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake.
One of the engineering changes made was the ability to reduce the amount of brake fade, Ganaway said. "Not nearly where we are with air disc brakes, but beginning to close the gap."
Bendix says part of the key is what it's calling high-performance brake friction, which is made from a combination of organic and semi-metallic materials. The latter help decrease brake fade.
"I spend a lot of time talking to fleets about this, and it's remarkable how safety conscious the fleets are," Ganaway says. "But we also find they simply don't understand the tradeoffs."
While aftermarket friction suppliers say they offer products just as good as the OE brake linings, Ganaway says that's generally not the case with these new high-performance materials.
Leading to confusion in the marketplace is that aftermarket friction suppliers may market their products as meeting dynamometer testing requirements that are no longer part of the federal regulations. The government has moved to the stopping distance performance requirement. So it's important to talk to your friction supplier about whether your brake linings are designed to meet these new requirements.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

The Philadelphia Phillies picked a bad season to flirt with the .500 mark.
At this time last season they were 11 games over .500, two years ago they were six games over, and three years ago they were 11 games over once again. But more importantly, in all three of those prior seasons their current 28-29 record would have been good for second or third place in the NL East.
But in the 2012 version of the NL East, it has them sitting in the cellar.
This year's NL East is the most-improved, deepest, and quite possibly the best division in baseball, with only the American League's Eastern division giving them a run for their money.
The Nationals have allowed the least runs in baseball by a shockingly large margin. The Marlins are the hottest team in the NL. The Mets are 31-21 despite a negative run-differential––which, along with Johan Santana's improbable eradication of the team's no-hitter curse, is starting to make this feel like a blessed season. And the Braves, the only other team in the division that was supposed to play well this season, have been as steady as ever.
Translation: the Phillies aren't gonna ascend into playoff contention by waiting for their peers to regress to the mean. One, maybe two, of the four teams ahead of them might be off to fluky starts that will fade away through the doldrums of summer. But some of them will stick.
If the Phillies want to return to the playoffs this season, they're gonna have to get markedly better. Here are the five players who are most essential to a Philly U-turn in 2012.

Raw Mint Chocolate Tart by GreenChef Heather Pace
Contributing Monkie Heather Pace
Published on July 8, 2010
Filed Under Full Recipe List, GreenChefs, Recipes / Desserts, Recipes / Raw Tags Chocolate, raw, Tart
Fresh mint makes the best desserts! I admit, I'm not much of a gardener, but I do have an outdoor summer herb garden which includes peppermint, spearmint, and chocolate mint. It not only tastes delicious, it's a cooling digestive aid! I love to make full use of my mint during the warm weather, and and what goes better with mint than chocolate, come on, really. Everyone is with me on this one right?
This tart incorporates a chocolate nut crust with a silky, green mint cream filling. I like the combination of fresh mint leaves and mint essential oil, but feel free to use more of only one or the other. Still want to enjoy the tart but don't have access to fresh mint leaves? Use the essential oil and a dash of spirulina for a soft green color.
I love to enjoy this dessert with guests on a hot, sunny afternoon, along with cold mint tea.
For the Crust
1 cup almonds, ground
3/4 cup pitted, packed dates
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup cacao nibs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Filling
2 1/2 cups cashews
1 cup lightly packed mint leaves
1 cup water
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons agave
5-8 drops mint essential oil, or to taste
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of Himalayan salt
3 tablespoons melted cacao butter*
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil*
Instructions: For the Crust
1. In a food processor, mix ingredients into a moist dough that presses together easily.
2. Add 1-2 teaspoons water if needed.
3. Press the mixture into a 6″ tart pan. Set aside.
Instructions: For the Filling
1. In a blender, combine all but the butter and oil until smooth and creamy.
2. Start with less mint essential oil, as it is very strong!
3. Now add the last 2 ingredients and blend to incorporate.
4. Taste the mixture – add more mint oil if needed (or mint leaves).
5. Spread the filling into the chocolate crust.
6. Chill it in the fridge or freezer for at least 6 hours, or until it is slightly firm to the touch.
7. Garnish the tart with fresh mint leaves, cacao nibs, and/or cacao powder.
Note: You can sub mint extract for the mint oil if necessary.
*Melt the butter and oil in either a dehydrator, or in a container placed in hot water.

I buy this to help with my hair loss. The results are 50/50. I am only half way through. I take one pill a day. Pill is quite big to swallow and has a strong oily smell... The pill bloats me sometime and give me bright yellow urine more half the day. I will continue and hopefully this will work.

Comments about PramPack Universal Travel Bag:
I bought this for my new Bugaboo Donkey - it works! It took a bit of time to figure out the best way to fit everything in but it worked! It even has enough room for the accessory bags and the two footmuffs. I am so glad that I finally will be able to travel with my new Donkey. The padding is great and protects the stroller fine. The wheels are very smooth and the easy grab handles all over make it easy to pick up at the baggage carousel. Packing is fairly easy, just make sure to take off all the tires and 'flatten' out the seats and face them together head to toe style. Everything just gets placed on top of the seats and the large back wheels go on either side of the seats inside.

Bookplates Honor Annie Louise Cary
A summer resident of Wayne collected more than 3,000 bookplates to honor Maine native and noted opera singer Annie Louise Cary and to support the Cary Memorial Library.
Most societies have had rituals or times set aside to honor ancestors, those who have died and have paved the way for the living. Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, is the day Americans have set aside for such remembrances.
2009 marked the bicentennials of the births of Abraham Lincoln and his first vice president, Hannibal Hamlin of Maine. To observe the anniversary, Paris Hill, where Hamlin was born and raised, honored the native statesman and recalled both his early life in the community and the mark he made on Maine and the nation.

Associate Professor
Miguel I. Gómez is Associate Professor at the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. He is a Fellow of the David R. Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future at Cornell University. He is Affiliate Faculty at the School of Management at Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá.
Research Focus
I concentrate my research program on two interrelated areas under the umbrella of food marketing and distribution:
1. Supply Chains Competitiveness and Sustainability: My work in this area involves multi-disciplinary collaborations and my primary contribution is the development of normative optimization models to assess supply chain performance in multiple dimensions - economic, social and environmental. A growing research area is the development of bioeconomic models to identify profit-maximizing strategies to manage invasive species in agriculture with applications to wine grapes, soft-skinned fruits, and coffee.
2. Retailing and Channel Relationships. Here, I combine microeconomic theory with quantitative methods, emphasizing key concepts such as price transmission, demand response, buyer-seller negotiations, market power, customer satisfaction, and retail performance. In addition, my research in this area extends to economic development. Specifically, I examine the incentives an barriers of smallholder farmer participation in food value chains with emphasis in Latin America.
The scope of my research program is domestic and international, the latter emphasizing food value chains in Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition, my applied research efforts aim at enhancing market opportunities for horticultural products (fruits, vegetables and ornamentals), benefiting producers, food processors/distributors and consumers in New York State.
Selected domestic sponsored research activities include:
- Developing an East Coast Broccoli Industry
- Bioeconomic models of optimal disease control in grapevines
- Enhancing Food Security of Underserved Populations in the Northeast through Sustainable Regional Food Systems
- Challenges Facing Small and Medium Sized Entrepreneurs in Emerging Cool Climate Wine Regions
Selected international research and activities include:
- Sustainability impacts of smallholder farmer participation in specialty coffee value chains in Latin America
- Food value chains and nutritional outcomes in developing countries
- Risk behavior in the adoption of IPM technologies among potato growers in the Colombian Andean Region
- Price transmission and market power in global food supply chains.

Southwest KY Officials Want Regional Commission
Hopkinsville, KY – Officials in a trio of southwestern Kentucky counties want a regional economic development commission in hopes of adding more clout to their business recruiting efforts. Todd, Trigg and Christian counties are pushing for the commission in hopes of making the area more marketable to incoming industries and state grant holders. Hopkinsville-Christian County Economic Development Commission chairman Eston Glover says a Tennessee Valley Authority study indicated that Todd, Trigg and Christian counties would make a good team. In order for the concept to come to fruition, city and state officials in all three counties must agree on the tri-county partnership.

RICHLAND, Wash. – A Hanford site contractor supporting EM's cleanup program has again received a prestigious safety award from DOE's Voluntary Protection Program (VPP).
Advanced Technologies and Laboratories International (ATL) was presented the Star of Excellence Award for safety at the 29th annual VPP Participants Association Conference in Nashville, Tenn.
Since it became a prime contractor at Hanford in 2005, ATL has received the award twice for committing to the principles of VPP, reaching established safety and health goals and attaining an injury and illness rate well below the average for similar businesses.
ATL also received the 2013 Outreach Award alongside other Hanford prime contractors. This award recognizes outreach activities related to VPP along with efforts to encourage others to participate in the program.
VPP was established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1982, and DOE adopted a similar program in partnership with OSHA in 1994. VPP recognizes employers and workers who have implemented effective safety and health management systems, and maintain injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective industries.

1: Isn't exactly infinite series if there are just 2 panes.
If you let the intensity of incident light be 400
1/4th is transmitted from pane 1, or intensity of transmitted is 100
This 100 intensity light is now the incident on second pane.
Again 1/4 th is transmitted so the final intensity is 100/4 =25
in general it's going to be (x/4)^n where x is intensity of initial ray and n is the number of panes.
2: You are walking at a speed of 1m/s and the rope is supposedly lengthening by 1000m/s
so say you are able to cross it after 't' seconds.
that would be possible if
(t)*(1 m/s) = 1000+[(1000m/s)*(t)] (since initial length of ope is 1000m and it is lengthening by 1000m/s)
which fives a t<0, which is not possible.
Hence you can not cross it even if you were God.

The 2012 London Summer Olympic Games kick off Friday evening with the opening ceremonies from the Olympic Stadium.
The next two-and-a-half weeks will be filled with intense Olympic action full of triumph and heartbreak. When the curtain comes down on the London Games the world will focus its attention on Sochi, Russia—the site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
There will be plenty of storylines to follow in the upcoming months regarding the American athletes who could participate in the Games.
Will Apolo Ohno return for another go-around and build on his already historic medal count?
Will anyone be able to challenge Shaun White for halfpipe supremacy?
And will Evan Lysacek return to defend his gold medal and become the first American men's singles competitor since Dick Button to win back-to-back golds?
These are some of the storylines which undoubtedly draw some attention in the months preceding the Sochi Games. Here are 10 American Olympic athletes to keep an eye on as we look forward to Sochi 2014.
