My current dilemma is how to deal with Hedysarum seeds... short of handling each and every one to remove the seed from the pod (which I'm currently doing). Each seed is enclosed in its own close-fitting little shell; as the seeds are flat, it is hard to crush the seed pods without possibly damaging the seeds. Bending the seed pod pops it open, but it's fussy to do on seed pods that are about 1/4" diameter. If not for the Dept. of Agriculture requirement to remove all chaff and non-seed material in order to send seeds across the US border for the NARGS seedex, I wouldn't bother trying to remove the seed pod at all... Any ideas?
If the pod break up into individual seed-containing pieces, each piece is in essence a nut and you don't shell a nut, do you? (I mean before sowing it - not eating it.)
When I clean seeds I use the same methods as suggested here - depending on type and volume and time, the paperbag method is my favorite even for very small seeds and fern spores.

OSHKOSH, Wis. (WFRV) According to Oshkosh Police the body of Michael Philbin was pulled from the Fox River Yesterday.
The 21 year old is the son of Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin.
Michael Philbin was visiting friends at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. Philbin attended Ripon College.
After almost two days of searching the Fox River, rescuers recovered his body.
It was found at the bottom of the river, along a trail behind the Kolf Center.
Around 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning, a security guard for Axle Tech reported to police that he saw a young man walking across the Fox River and fall through the ice.
The man was about 30 to 40 feet out when he went through.
Police do not suspect foul play, but they are investigating the incident.
An autopsy is being performed today in Madison.

I'd see them again. No lie
One of the most horrific sounds I have ever heard in my life was turning around after bright eyes' awesome set and seeing this pimpled pussy scream "mumfooord an suuunsss!"
I don't see it happening.

And I hate them.

this band has 1 thing in common with Passion Pit... how bad they suck
I think their songs are corny as all hell, but their musicianship live is actually quite excellent. In no way would I support back to back years though.
If their upcoming new album is as good as Sigh No More they could be headliners in 2013. They can tour in 2012 and do festivals in 2013.
New track
Can someone who likes this band please explain why you like them? They are one of the worst bands I have ever heard! Thank god they played Coachella in 2011 so they probably won't play again in 2012. I just don't see the appeal...
Can you tell me why you don't like them? Is it cause they're radio friendly or popular? Tell me how they are musically the worst bands you have ever heard
because of people like this
Sleep - Crystal Ballroom - February 6th 2015
Dr. Dog - The Fox Oakland - February 12th 2015
Ride - The Warfield - April 13th 2015
Swans - Regency Ballroom - April 17th 2015
Sleater Kinney - SF Masonic - May 2nd 2015
It's a wonder Old Crow Medicine Show and Dave Rawlings even get on the stage with him. Or Bela Fleck or Abigail Washburn at Telluride.

I don't get the hate for these guys. Their album had some decent instrumentals, and while the lyrics to their songs are pretty trite, I don't think that the lead vocalist lacks talent. I think their higher tempo songs at Coachella were great fun, and the audience certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.
I was there to get close as possible for Animal Collective, but I walked away more or less a fan, and while I don't think they have enough new material to fill an EP, let alone a new set at Coachella, I don't think that the OP should be ridiculed just for wanting to see a band he likes at a place he likes.
OK so now tell me why you LIKE Mumford & Sons.

How Eminem Devastates The Competition On 'Rap God'
In rap music in 2013, everyone seems to want to be the 'Savior'. Kanye West proclaimed himself to be a 'god' on the blatantly titled "I Am A God", even foreshadowing beforehand on Yeezus at the end of "Black Skinhead". A$AP Ferg even titled his debut Trap Lord. Argue the difference between lord and god all you want, but they seem nearly, if not 'one in the same'. Jay-Z joined the boat as well on Magna Carta…Holy Grail. Why is everyone trying to be God? I'm unsure, but there sure have been plenty of 'gods' this year.
A couple of years ago, it was fine to be merely a 'king' (P$C's "I'm a King" comes to mind as a perfect example), but now everyone has those 'heavenly ambitions', no matter how blasphemous they end up being. After Kendrick Lamar seemed to be the pre-season no. 1 of 'god-status' in hip-hop (without saying so necessarily but insinuating such), veteran shock MC Eminem also seems to have an incredibly compelling, if sinful argument on his epic new single "Rap God". As the new order of rap seems firmly afloat in 2013, Eminem certainly isn't out to have his vibe or contributions to the game killed. For those lame-o's that needed a reminder and for the generation that didn't grow up with Marshall Mathers, well he's back in a big way. Let's analyze Eminem's, um, gospel… And by the way, I'mma try to keep this as classy as possible, really.
Analyzing the Intro & Hook(s) Intro
Maybe Drake says it best on "Started On The Bottom": "I done kept it real from the jump…" Eminem does just that as the intro foreshadows both the mood and the duration of "Rap God":
"Something's wrong, I can feel it (Six minutes, Slim Shady, you're on)…" So what exactly is wrong? If you read into it as I do, I believe Eminem is suggesting there is quite a talent gap in hip-hop today and that after his six-minute masterpiece, the game-changing MC will once more restore the order or at least redirect the newbies onto the path of righteousness… err good rapping, LOL. Another interpretation of the end-portion "Six minutes, Slim Shady, you're on…" is that during the six-plus minute duration of "Rap God" Eminem is truly on fire. Cocky and confident, but true. His relevance to the game is also confirmed by lyric "…you were just what the doctor ordered…"
The Hook(s)
The hook(s) for "Rap God" are pretty much the same, but the end of each hook relates to the proceeding verse, which could certainly be considered 'higher level thinking' in rap music these days. I'll admit, as a musician and songwriter myself, I could stand to make the form more 'unifying' as Eminem does on each of the hooks here. The familiar portion of all three is as follows:
"I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God / all my people from the front to the back nod, back nod…"
The end of the first hook is where the segue comes in with the first verse in mind: "…Now who thinks their arms are long enough to slapbox, slapbox / they said I rap like a robot, so call me Rapbot". Can you guess what Eminem raps about at the beginning of his first verse? Yes, his fast paced, 'intelligent' rhymes. Proceding the first verse, the second hook is identical to the first except the final line states "Let me show you maintaing this sh*t ain't that hard, that hard".
The final hook is the most drastically different and should be (the third verse deserves such). It is as follows after the familiar portion: "…The way I'm racing around the track, call me Nascar, Nascar / Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park, the White Trash God / Kneel before General Zod this planet's Krypton, no Asgard, Asgard." Only Marshall Mathers could make comic books sound cool and gangsta in rap. Yep.
Verse 1 is definitely filled with Eminem-isms. Segueing from the hook, Eminem is truly himself as he raps "But for me to rap like a computer must be in my genes / I got a laptop in my back pocket / my pen'll go off when I half-cock it / got a fat knot from that rap profit." Just those few lines alone are filled with multiple meanings. Essentially, the MC plays up the speed and agility of his midwest rhymes, the unthinkable wealth he has earned over his illustrious career, makes the obligatory inappropriate sexual reference while also arguably making a violent gun reference as well. Remember that Drake line I mentioned earlier? Eminem starts on fire.
He doesn't stop there. He's "made a living and a killing off it / ever since Bill Clinton was still in office / with Monica Lewinsky feeling on his nut-sack / I'm an MC still as honest / but as rude and as indecent as all hell…" True to form, Eminem takes the line too far, but it is just further confirmation of his musical contributions. He goes sort of oxymoronic when he spits "You don't really wanna get into a pissing match with this rappity rap / packing a Mac in the back of the Ac, backpack rap crap, yep, yep yakety yak…" because he's stating you should take him seriously, yet what he's rhyming about is pretty dumb. Seriously though, he's alluding to his incredible skills, hence why he is a 'god'.
What better way to confirm his status than to go back to his most controversial days in the game? "I attempt these lyrical acrobat stunts while I'm practicing that / I'll still be able to break a motherf**in' table / over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half?" Yep, he purposely when there with the 'f-word' and not the 'f-bomb'. He follows it up with "How could I know blow…" (ha 'blow') "…All I do is drop f-bombs, feel my wrath of attack / Rappers are having a rough time period, here's a Maxipad / It's actually disastrously bad for the wack / while I'm masterfully constructing this masterpiece as…" So apparently, he is calling 'sucky' rappers the 'f-word' because they are destroying the game. Also, it seems his reference to 'f-bombs' is not merely his own love for obscenity, but he is also suggesting that a number of rappers think that the word makes them exceptional MCs.

The president of the Ohio Senate was quoted in The Dispatch on June 4 as saying the Senate version of the school-funding plan is " absolutely constitutional." Obviously the determination of constitutionality is a decision left to the Ohio Supreme Court, not to a political statement by a legislator.
A bit of history will illuminate the discussion. The court ruled four times — 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2002 — on the DeRolph case that the state's school-funding system was unconstitutional. The fourth decision released court jurisdiction of the case but issued a firm edict that the state must give Ohio's school-funding system a complete overhaul:
"However, the General Assembly has not focused on the core constitutional directive of DeRolph I: 'A complete systematic overhaul' of the school funding system . . . Today, we reiterate that that is what is needed, not further nibbling at the edges. Accordingly we direct the General Assembly to enact a school-funding scheme that is thorough and efficient as explained in DeRolph I, DeRolph II, and the accompanying concurrences."
The "complete systematic overhaul" of DeRolph I required a reduction in the emphasis on property tax in the school-funding formula and a total revamp of the operation of the school-foundation program.
Subsequent to DeRolph IV, Gov. Bob Taft appointed the Governor's Commission on Financing Student Success to develop recommendations for moving the system toward the constitutional requirement of " thorough and efficient." The "building blocks" school-funding formula was enacted in response to some of the work of the Taft Commission. This legislation set the per-pupil foundation level at $5,732 in fiscal year 2009. The state did not proffer any evidence that the "building blocks" plan would pass constitutional muster, but the plan allowed school districts to expand educational opportunities for students.
The governor's office, for the next biennial budget, proposed a per-pupil foundation level of $5,000 for fiscal year 2014. The House legislation (HB 59) set that level at $5,732 while the Senate added a few dollars. Inflation since fiscal year 2009 would require a per-pupil foundation level of at least $6,200 in fiscal year 2014.
There is no evidence that the Senate version of the state budget bill reduces emphasis on property tax in the school-funding formula, and certainly no evidence that the level of funding or the distribution system proposed will validate a constitutional system. A per-pupil foundation level in the range of $5,700 for next school year will almost guarantee greater dependence on property tax and thus move the system further away from the court's orders in DeRolph I.
This matter is compounded by the fact that no version of House Bill 59 establishes a rational basis for the proposed school-funding plan.

- ICBA supports legislation replacing single-director governance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) with a five-member commission. Prudential banking regulators should actively participate in the consumer protection rule-writing process.
- Regulations promulgated by the CFPB must provide community banks the flexibility to meet the unique needs of their customers. Additional, unnecessary requirements could prevent community banks from serving these customers.
- All firms that offer credit or offer financial products and services should be subject to meaningful supervision and examination, as community banks have long been.
- The CFPB's reliance on enforcement actions, rather than authoritative written guidance, creates compliance uncertainty for community banks that threatens to reduce access to credit and other financial products and services. The CFPB should work with community banks and other responsible industry participants to develop authoritative written guidance regarding problematic practices and regulatory expectations.
- ICBA strongly supports the CFPB using its statutory authority to exempt or provide tiered regulatory requirements for community banks and/or community bank products and services where appropriate. Any regulations should directly target identified problems with financial products and services while allowing community banks to continue to provide responsible products and services free from undue regulatory burden.
More Participatory Governance and Rulemaking. Replacing single-director governance with a five-member commission would allow for diverse views and expertise on issues before the CFPB and thus build in a system of checks and balances. A commission would help ensure the actions of the CFPB are measured and non-partisan and would result in balanced, high-quality rules and effective consumer protection.
Bank regulators have experience and expertise in balancing the safety and soundness of banking operations with the need to protect consumers and provide them with the information they need to make informed financial decisions. Consequently, ICBA supports legislative efforts to give prudential regulators a stronger, more meaningful role in CFPB rule writing.
Oversight of Non-Bank Providers. ICBA supports a balanced regulatory system in which all firms that offer financial products and services, including retailers, are subject to meaningful supervision, examination and enforcement. Gaps in regulatory coverage create conflicting standards that confuse and potentially harm consumers and create competitive disparities.
Enforcement Concerns. The CFPB is using enforcement actions – including charges of unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices (UDAAP) – as a means of regulating marketplace behavior. This reliance on enforcement actions in place of issuing rules and other authoritative guidance creates significant concerns for community banks who do not have teams of attorneys and compliance professionals to parse the CFPB's many decisions for compliance risk. The CFPB should work with responsible industry stakeholders to develop authoritative written guidance that provides clear examples of permitted and forbidden practices.
Community Bank Exemptions. The community bank business model is based on relationship banking. Community banks are already required to spend significant resources complying with voluminous consumer protection statutes and regulations. The CFPB has statutory authority to exempt any class of providers or any products or services from the rules it writes considering the size of the entity, the volume of its transactions, and the extent to which existing law already has protections. The CFPB should use this authority effectively to ensure community banks can continue to provide a robust alternative for consumers seeking responsible financial services providers.

To address the issue of the low take-up of available ethnic business support the article proposes the composition of a database for Scotland, thereby providing baseline data on minority businesses and hence providing a sampling frame for future research. The database will hold the following information: name and gender of the business owner, sector, location, number of employees as an indicator of company size, generation, the year in which the business was established, as well as the legal form of ownership of businesses.

Riverside County Office on Aging
Contact Information
RSVP 2013 Competition Appendix A Part 1 Funding Opportunities
Executive Summary
The Riverside County Office on Aging (RCOoA) is dedicated to assisting and providing services for older adults. It is also the appointed Area Agency on Aging (AAA) and Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) for the County of Riverside recognized by the Administration on Aging (AoA). The RSVP Coachella Valley program is celebrating its 42nd year of local operation. It was brought to the Coachella Valley in 1971 through the combined interest and commitment of the valley's municipalities because it was recognized as a valuable asset to keep aging adults engaged, vital and actively involved in their community. The Riverside County Board of Supervisors assigned this program to the RCOoA in 1992 to continue and grow the volunteer base and increase the types of services offered in the community. Today, the RSVP Coachella Valley program is recognized for its impressive contribution to the service delivery of local community based organizations, non-profits, schools and governmental agencies and the meeting of community needs by providing access to volunteer opportunities, special recruitment activities for volunteers; by assisting all RSVP volunteers and sites with mediation; assignments that allow local organizations to sustain their level of service delivery; and special recognition activities that celebrate the spirit of volunteering and the work of our volunteers. RSVP services are critical because studies have found that between 40 and 50 percent of costly hospital readmissions are linked to social problems and lack of community resources (Proctor et al. (2000). Adequacy of Home Care and Hospital Readmission for Elderly Congestive Heart Failure Patients. Health and Social Work: 25(2):87-96(10)). The safety net of community based services and supports are vital to the health and wellbeing of older Californians. These findings are particularly significant today as Baby Boomers reach retirement age at an average rate of 330 per hour in the United States.
The broad program goals of RSVP Coachella Valley are to
provide volunteer recruitment, orientation, individual support, and recognition; develop opportunities for seniors to broaden their life experience through volunteer service develop and maintain quality volunteer service opportunities that will succeed in measurable outcomes and outputs that meet the needs of the communities and citizens of the Coachella Valley and Blythe.
An estimated 600 RSVP volunteers will continue to serve during FY 2012/2013. They will provide services to children, seniors, law enforcement, community based organizations and others through programs that are consistent with the CNCS Strategic Plan and provide outputs and outcomes through a network of 53 sites, which provide a variety of services, such as food assistance, chronic disease self-management, fitness programs, tutoring and mentoring, community policing, and medical services. The primary focus area of this project is Healthy Futures, which also coincides with the Riverside County Office on Aging's (sponsor agency) Strategic Plan, "Focusing on a Healthy Tomorrow," for FY12/13 through FY15/16. At the end of the first 12-month performance period 14% of our volunteers will be in outcome based assignments. The CNCS federal investment of $61,082 will be supplemented $18,325 by the anticipated level of non-federal resources or match funding.
The RSVP Coachella Valley program is a successful, rooted, organized, well known program in the region. In past years, we have had over 700 volunteers who worked at 100 volunteer sites. With the new direction and outcome measurements, we will be graduating volunteers from non-output/outcome assignments into other volunteer programs under the RCOoA as we will continue to serve the older adult volunteers.
Edward Walsh, Director
Riverside County Office on Aging

PRINCETON – State Police are looking for two men wanted in the armed robbery of a video poker site in Mercer County.
According to law enforcement, around 11:30 Wednesday night, two white men with facial hair wearing ball caps entered Joyce's on Courthouse Road and played the machines for some time.]
Sergeant R.A. Maddy says eventually one of the men walked up front to the clerk at the register, held a knife to her throat, and duct taped her hands and legs.
They opened the safe and the register and got away with an unknown amount of money.
Police say robberies like this are increasing in the area.
"Some of these establishments, when they bring in cash money from the machines, it's inviting robberies like this to take place," says Sgt. Maddy.
Anyone with information about these men, believe to be in their 20's or 30's, is asked to call police at (304) 425-2102.

Successful Nonprofits and Foundations in Indian Country
Spring 2015 quarter
Taught by
Is your non-profit successful? When can you tell? This course will explore the definitions of "success" and the when, how, and who gets to define success. Non-profits and foundations are an essential sector of US economics, but what about Tribal economics? The course will explore the key elements of building collaborative partnerships and an organization's social accountability to service communities through the examination of a variety of non-profits and foundations which operate in Indian Country. We will also explore non-profit and foundation start-up, laws, and jurisdiction issues related to operation in Indian Country. As a class we will review the history of foundations and non-profits in Indian Country and examine the unique legal situation of Tribes who, as a government, can operate as or generate non-profits and foundations. What can you do to build a more successful non-profit or organization? How can your organization work with a Tribe, build a better relationship, or redefine success? Although the course content will be focused on organizations serving Indian Country, the principles covered in class are applicable for all organizations serving distinct communities.
