TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
In reaction to the impact of human activity on water quality, the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 in order to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. The act regulates discharges to U.S. waters through permits issued under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting program and places requirements on State transportation agencies for managing runoff water quality. Understanding the legal responsibilities, terminology, and the general roles of players in the regulatory process is critical in order to properly plan for, budget, and implement water quality management.
The intent of this course is to provide a basic understanding of water quality parameters, processes, requirements, and best management practices (BMPs) in order to provide the transportation community with guidance on how to mitigate impacts and protect water quality. The course shares approaches and technologies for the water quality management of highway stormwater runoff, including the effective maintenance, inspection, and performance evaluation of BMPs.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
This course is designed for State department of transportation staff who negotiate permit conditions with the appropriate State agency; design engineers who must be cognizant of permit requirements; construction personnel who implement the highway designs; inspectors who ensure that water quality management features (BMPs) are functioning as designed; biologists who identify habitat for wildlife and potential ecosystem impacts; landscape architects and botanists who ensure that vegetation is preserved to the maximum extent practicable and that appropriate vegetation is used to provide water quality benefits after construction; and environmental scientists who monitor and evaluate water quality.

Cheap dial up internet access services dominate the dial up internet market. Premium and regional dial up services struggle as prices drop fast and customers switch.
Dial up service is the easiest and most popular way of Internet connectivity throughout the united states for residential users. Dialup connectivity in IN requires the users to have at least one phone line open for this connection at their home, the speed of Internet becomes limited by the capacity of the phone lines and your computer. Since there are several ISP services available in Indiana, you might ask why you should pay premium for Internet access at all. You get what you pay for, and with a low cost ISP you pay for access by viewing a slew of ads or slow connection speed.
If regular dialup Internet service is too slow for you, but you don't like the high price of DSL and cable broadband Internet service, Find high speed dialup Internet service that is 5 times (or more) faster than standard dialup. All at half the price of DSL and one-third the price of cable ISPs.
Now that we live in the information age, where emailing documents has substituted mailing letters, where shopping has transformed into eshopping, and where elearning has replaced learning, you should act quickly and get connected to the Internet, or you will be left behind.
Local ISPs in IN offer Internet access through local telephone numbers to users in a limited geographic region whereas national ISPs provide access for users nationwide (including mobile users), through local and toll free telephone numbers and cable. Because of their size, national ISPs offer more services and generally have a larger technical support staff than local ISPs. OSPs furnish Internet access as well as members only features for users nationwide. Before you choose an Internet access provider, compare such features as the number of internet access hours, monthly fees, available services (e-mail, Web page hosting, chat), and reliability.
Whether this is your very first time looking for an Dialup ISP, or you are looking to switch your internet service, follow some of our tips to avoid the most common mistakes when selecting an Dialup ISP in Indiana.

Meeting Mark Peskanov of 'Bargemusic'Posted by Ilona Oltuski in Music Events, New York, tags: Bargemusic, Isaac Stern, Mark Peskanov, Olga Bloom
I can imagine going paperless, even internet-less, but going music-less? Impossible! Thanks to people as energetic and creative as Juilliard-trained violinist, Mark Peskanov, this is unlikely to happen.
Peskanov is the man behind Brooklyn's 'Bargemusic', a series attracting music mavens and sporadic music lovers alike. At least four times a week, the ancient 100-foot barge at Fulton Ferry Landing sways gently to the rhythm of Peskanov's diverse program offerings featuring emerging, as well as sought-after, performers from the world of classical music and jazz.
This summer, the floating concert hall's 176 seats were filled daily, sometimes even twice a day. "We present 52 weeks of continuous programming, all year around", Peskanov explains. "It is, in a real sense, music in motion."
Bargemusic is very much part of its Brooklyn neighborhood. "A grocery store is open every day of the week, as well", says Peskanov. "People are used to just showing up, and there is something going on. Some artists – not all of them very well known to the public – perform many times during a season; the choice of programming informs the choices of artists, and vice versa".
Above all, the series strives to be inclusive. Kids come free, and at $35 a ticket per adult, some families bring many, and come often. "We remain a venue with a friendly, family-style character. When you arrive late for a performance, because the weather is bad, you are not going to stay outside in the rain."
For a long time, Bargemusic was not even set up to accept credit cards, let alone online booking. All reservations were handled the old-fashioned way – by phone. "We are in the process of adapting, technology-wise", Peskanov promises.
Word about Bargemusic is spreading, even without a lot of advertising. "Our artists are of a certain level, and we do want to make them happy. It is the personal approach that is really special. I work closely with the artists, and often perform together with them. Many are good friends and acquaintances of mine, and I share my own experiences as a musician. Everything I do is informed by that. I played in many different concert halls, and with many illustrious artists … music is a gift to express." When talking about his responsibility towards younger performers, Peskanov is taking a page out of the book of Isaac Stern, whom he performed with himself and not only admires as a great artist, but also as a great educator. "The best way to learn is to be on stage. Anything can happen".

Astronomers worldwide will be able to access the data collected by the Murchison Widefield Array, a 2,000-antenna radio telescope located at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. Astrophysicists from MIT and the Pawsey Center—a supercomputing facility—are using a Cray Cascade supercomputer system—with a performance of 0.3 petaflops now and 1.2 petaflops planned for next year—to help operate the Murchison Widefield Array. The radio telescope generates about 400 megabytes of data per second for delivery to the observatory. The computer helps with tasks such as producing images and redistributing the data for storage. Although the system is still being installed, it was pressed into service 9 June 2013 when the radio telescope went online.

After many weeks of waiting eagerly Adobe Captivate and eLearning Suite users may now download the free trials of [Adobe Captivate 5](http://bit.ly/1tBgsj). The release contains many significant enhancements that have Captivate and eLearning Suite users literally chomping at the bit to get their hands on it. You can also download the[ eLearning Suite here.](http://bit.ly/90WoAI)
Mac users are ecstatic as Captivate 5 and eLearning Suite 2 are now both available for the Mac OS, making the products the first major eLearning industry authoring packages to enter full force into support for the Apple Mac OS. Many Mac users have written, called and addressed me in person to wholeheartedly offer both encouragement and enthusiasm as we see Captivate and eLearning Suite move firmly into cross platform eLearning authoring tools.
Because of the addition of support for Apple Mac OS, Adobe engineers rebuilt Captivate 5 from the ground up – affording them an unprecedented opportunity to modernize every aspect of the tool. The performance enhancements are nothing short of amazing – with faster file start times, faster save times, a multi-document, Adobe standardized interface and dramatically enhanced workflows Captivate 5 has been called a 'must have' update in a recent review for[ Learning Solutions Magazine.](http://bit.ly/aS7TiL).
It's little wonder Joe Ganci displays some enthusiasm about Captivate 5 in his review. It doesn't take long to see that the time saved simply by using the propery inspector (always available) rather than clicking endless open and close boxes used in previous versions is only the beginning of usability improvements far too numerous to list.
We've been plugging away for months now creating resources to help everyone learn all about the new versions of Adobe Captivate and Adobe eLearning Suite as rapidly as possible. One of the most exciting efforts is our new eLearning Channel on [Adobe TV](http://bit.ly/c25eGV). We've added a bunch of great new videos to get you started and are making more every week. The eLearning Channel will include a wide range of videos including everything from tutorials to customer experience mini-documentaries. If you're hoping for a top level overview of [Adobe Captivate 5, I recorded a 25 minute overview here.](http://bit.ly/9gNGcT)
I also recorded one describing [Adobe eLearning Suite 2, located here.](http://bit.ly/9fDkzR/)
Another highlight while you visit? Our own Kush Amerisinghe, video superstar from Ask The Adobe Ones[ interviewed me about the launch of eLS2.](http://bit.ly/cKrMyl)
Looking for something shorter to fill those 5 minute gaps. I've been posting a steady diet of mini-videos featuring Captivate 5 on the new [AdobeElearning Channel ](bit.ly/7Jizbh)on YouTube. Why not take a moment to subscribe and check out the latest offerings. The video short on [Fundamental Design & Composition Concepts for Multimedia eLearning](http://bit.ly/af0SH1) has proven very popular.
My good friend and colleague Priyank Shrivastava wrote a very nice [high level overview of Adobe Captivate 5 and eLearning Suite 2 ](http://bit.ly/acADTa)which you can check out here. He does a great job of highlighting the critical elements of the release.
RJ Jacquez, whose contributions to Captivate are legendary, has posted [a wonderful overview ](http://bit.ly/cm9yMD)of his very fine videos describing many of Captivate 5's new features. And i'm sure we'll see tons of additional contributions from the rich community of Captivate users as we all start to experience the new software. In fact, i'd encourage you to give your own feedback, and ask your own questions right here in the comments, as you download Adobe eLearning Suite 2 and / or Adobe Captivate 5, and see for yourself.

indeed, no offense taken here! Different folks will drink different beverages for different reasons.
Just wanted to say that many teas are well under $1/cup and brewing teas with hot water almost never takes more than five minutes. Significantly less, most of the time.
For low caffeine, many steeps for your buck, and fast preparation (30 seconds to 2 minutes) I'm sticking by my suggestion of gong Fu brewing balled oolongs.

I arrived at the National Geographic Kids party in Chicago an hour late…
My session at the blog conference where I was speaking had run long and then I got lost on the way to the party. By the time I got there, they were in the process of giving away Nat Geo Kids books to the guests.
"… And this one is for Tracy Beckerman," one of the hosts announced as I entered through the back of the room.
I looked across the room and tried to make out the name of the book. I was pretty far back and had forgotten my glasses. I squinted hard. Sadly, it was a big blur.
I took a guess. "Oh wow! �It's a book on, um, Animal Poverty," I finally exclaimed to one of my friends standing near me. �"That is so interesting. �Really, I had no idea that animal poverty was a problem. It is SO cool of National Geographic to call attention to that issue and bring it to light!"
My friends stared at me.
"I guess I could see how it could be a real problem for animals with jobs, like circus elephants and seeing eye dogs who suddenly find themselves unemployed," I continued. "I should have figured that the recession was hitting working animals hard, too."
My friends continued to stare at me.
"I'm really excited to read this book. I love animals and I think this is really an issue I could get behind. �I would love to become an advocate for National Geographic and do what I can to help eradicate animal poverty!" I said enthusiastically.
My friend Nicole finally broke the silence.
"Tracy. The book is called, 'Animal POETRY.' It's POETRY. Not POVERTY."
"Oh," I finally said sheepishly.� "Well that's something completely different, isn't it?"
They all nodded their heads.
"Well then. �Nevermind."
* � � � �* � � � �*
So clearly I'm not the brightest bulb in the socket. �Which reminds me of a joke:
Q: �How many Bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: �50. �1 to actually change the bulb and 49 to take a picture and post it on Instagram.
OK, you might have to be a blogger to appreciate that one. Fortunately, in Chicago I was surrounded by about 5000 bloggers who thought it was really funny.
Anyway, the National Geographic event was not actually part of the conference. Theirs was a private party at the uber-cool City Winery that I was thrilled to attend (and Nat Geo, if you are reading this, I just want you to know, I do not have the IQ of a flea. I'm just hopelessly blind without my glasses.) �This was one of a number of private events I attended while I was in town for the conference where I got a chance to learn more about some fantastic brands, connect with some super cool people, and be a part of the powerful blogging scene that has emerged over the last decade.
In addition to the National Geographic party, another incredible event was The Awesome Party (yes, it was actually called that and it was, in fact, pretty awesome) hosted by a new site called Yappem, a�social media platform where people can share their experiences — good or bad � about products, brands and places;�the One 2 One Network, a company founded by my friend Barbara Jones that�helps�brands engage�with women and moms in a�meaningful�and�impactful�way through social media, PR and word of mouth; and Cool Mom Picks, the blog brainchild of Liz Gumbinner and Kristen Chase which profiles the best in gifts, gear, and everything new and cool for moms. �It was the perfect mix of food, products, and people.
I was able to learn about Yappem and loved the idea of real people sharing honest opinions about the brands they are using. �I was also thrilled to have a few minutes to chat with Barbara about One 2 One because she is so passionate about the work they do there and that passion is infused in their mission! �And since I am all about being a cool mom in the 'burbs, Cool Mom Picks is my absolute go-to site for, of course, cool mom stuff, so I loved being there to support Liz and Kristen!
Next I stopped by American Girl Place where my friends Danielle Elliot Smith and Jenny Ingram were hosting a party to help announce a new line of Bitty Baby dolls, outfits, and accessories, including 11 different dolls with various skin tones, hair, and eye-color combinations. Even though my daughter has outgrown her American Girl years, I now have two nieces who are 2 and 4 and I was thrilled to be the one to introduce them to the phenomenon that is American Girl by giving them each lookalike dolls for their birthdays this year! �For a roomful of moms, being in the American Girl space for a private event enabled us to all get in touch with our inner little girls and I have to admit, I don't think any of us were just in it for our daughters. I loved every pink and blue cupcake minute of being there!
One of the sponsors at the SocialLuxe lounge was Cottonelle. �As someone who not only does all the toilet paper shopping in my house, but is also the only person in my home who seems to know how to actually CHANGE an empty roll of toilet paper, I am intimately acquainted with Cottonelle and am a big fan of their products. �They debuted a new campaign called �Let's talk Bums� which is all about a complete Cottonelle Care Routine using their TP and Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Wipes which I think will be a big hit with the mom crowd!
The CBS "Mom" event hosted by my friends MJ Tam and Beth Rosen of Chicagonistas Live, and Beth Feldman, the PR powerhouse behind Role Mommy was a lot of fun. �We got a chance to shmooze, confess some of our most embarrassing mom moments on camera, and see a preview of the new CBS show "Mom" starring Allison Janey and Anna Faris which airs this fall and looks HILARIOUS!
My friend Alli Doubek and her partners at Social Soiree hosted a party at a restaurant called Yolk in Chicago, which has the most killer breakfast crepes I�ve ever eaten.� Sears, Lands End and Handcraft Artisan Wines were all sponsors.� I have to say, I LOVE my new Lands End bag, which ended up being my airplane carry on for all the other stuff I got over the course of the week!
Finally, I wrapped up the week at the BoomBox B(L)oomers party at a very cool space called Catalyst Ranch. This party, for bloggers age 45+ was all about connecting brands with mid-life bloggers who represent one of the most overlooked yet growing and powerful demographics around today.� Brands like Theraderm, The Wine Sisterhood, and Fat Boy Cookies, (who were all sponsors of my Lost in Suburbia Cool Mom Book and Blow Dry Bar Tour!) were on hand to connect.
(As an aside� I really have to give a shoutout to Theraderm here. I�ve never been fussy about my skincare before but I started using Theraderm products about 5 months ago and I have truly seen a huge difference in my skin. It�s one of those things you don�t realize you need until you try it and now I will never use anything else.)
I also got connected with a new company (or at least new to me) called BloomEnjoyYourself.com which is a sophisticated online boutique that celebrates sexual intimacy, exploration and learning for women in their sexual prime. I don�t usually blog about this part of my life because my kids read my blog and they would be horrified, but I will say that I think Bloom�s perspective is a breath of fresh air. I also happened to win a Lelo vibrator from them, which I will ONLY USE AS A BACK MASSAGER, KIDS (wink, wink). Thanks Bloom!
BTW, everyone who came to the B(L)oomers party also got a copy of my book in their swag bag. Hoping they like it and will spread the word about �Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir.�
It was great to be in the Windy City for a few days and immerse myself in the blogosphere in real life.� While I was there, I also had a chance to sample the food at a couple of great restaurants and appear on Good Day Chicago!� More on that tomorrow!

Sigma Premium Brush Set Review
I'm back with another review! Today i'll be featuring the much talked about Sigma Makeup Premium Brush set. I've worked with Sigma Makeup in the past and am so excited to see how much their line continues to grow and flourish. I've been eyeing this set for a while so when I had a chance to test it out, I was stoked. I gave myself several weeks to try out the set before doing this post because I wanted a really thorough review.
To see my findings, click here!
To see my video review, click here! I really had to cut it down to make sure the video wasn't uber long, but I give a very thorough review on each brush - both pros and cons.
My First Impressions
I noticed that Sigma has recently changed their shipping packaging. The brushes are now shipped in a super sleek and efficient black box with the Sigma logo. It looks very professional and less materials are used, which is a plus for the environment. The brushes come in the standard leather-like brush roll. This time around we get 15 new brushes - 7 eye brushes, 7 face brushes, and 1 lip brush. You also receive the complimentary travel size ss217 with the set (love this brush!).
Washing The Brushes
The first time I washed the brush, there was a normal amount of shedding from the face brushes. The eye brushes didn't really have any issues. There was no bleeding for either. After I let them dry over night I noticed that the pointed shape of many of the brushes was now more splayed and rounded. Simone from Sigma advised me to keep the plastic brush sleeves on while they dry. I did and wow, what a difference! The brushes kept their original shape. I would even suggest keeping the sleeves on the face brushes while you're storing them as well. I washed my brushes about 3 more times after that and also spot cleaned them with brush cleanser. I noticed that there was still a considerable amount of shedding, especially with the larger face brushes. However, in all of my makeup applications, I never had problems with shedding on my face. I'm definitely a very thorough brush washer which probably explains the loss of bristles. I think over time, the shedding will even out.
This brush is a large, dense brush meant for bronzer. I prefer it for body makeup and overall powder setting. The handle is a bit shorter which gives you more control. I did get some shedding out of this brush but it never happened when I applied makeup, only when I washed it. I'm thinking the shedding will ebb off over time. In sum, it's very soft and does its job.
This brush is perfect for applying blush. It's got the right size, it's soft, and the shape is ideal.
This duo fiber brush is amazing for applying face products like primer and moisturizer. You don't get the streaks of typical foundation brushes and it makes the process go by so much quicker. The brush has a blush applicator shape which makes it super versatile.
I love this brush! Contouring with this brush is so much more enjoyable. You don't get harsh lines and the brush is silky soft. I passed on the MAC version because it was so expensive so I'm glad I was able to get my hands on this baby. I recommend keeping the plastic sleeve on this brush to keep the pointed tulip shape.
This is the baby sister brush to the 168. Makes an awesome cheek highlighter, under-eye concealer setter, or defined contour brush. It's such a great addition to my brush collection.
This is the ultimate concealer brush for larger surfaces. I actually love it for patting on cheek stain. The bristles are really dense and you can tell it's a high quality brush.
This is my favorite concealer brush out of all Sigma Makeup brushes. The size is really good. I like how it's stiff so that you get really good control out of it. It's perfect for blending out the concealer you applies under eyebrows.
This is my kind of eyeliner brush. I use these smaller liner brushes on my clients about 95% of the time. It's small shape is perfect for getting precise application. If you really want some awesome eyeliner application, go with this brush.
This brush is a god send for applying eyeliner on older clients. Take a little bit of eyeshadow and push the bristles into the lash line and you get perfection! It also makes a great brow brush too.
I really love this innovative little brush. It makes applying lower lash color so much easier. The bristles are really dense an really pack on color. It's dense bristles also make smudging liner a breeze.
This has got to be my favorite brush out of the whole line. I have to use it every time I do my eye makeup. The bristles are perfection...just the right amount of density and tapering.
This is a cousin to the 217...the bristles are a little longer which help to apply a looser application of color. It's awesome for doing a crease transition color.
When MAC released a similar brush, I bought about 4 of them. I love this as a crease brush for detailed work and smaller eyes. And the good thing about this brush is that it's not limited edition!
Not only is this brush great for all over lid color...but I'll let you in on a little trick. You this to blend out a harsh crease and you'll get eyeshadow blended like a pro.
A lip brush is a must-have if you want a perfect lip product application. I like sigma's version that comes with a little cap. I think it's more sanitary to the retractable kind.
The set retails for $149. That's 15 high quality brushes and a brush roll. If you're serious about stepping up your makeup game, these brushes are a must-have.
You can find these brushes at www.sigmamakeup.com
A little birdy told me that Sigma is coming up with even more new brushes, can't wait!

Statement of Atty. Harry Roque on behalf of clients
following speech of client Mrs. Myrna Reblando before the
Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club
Ref: 09175398096
I have discovered inadvertently last year, through a Hong Kong-based lawyer, that Mrs. Myrna Reblando is being processed in Hong Kong for asylum to another country. The information given to me was confidential and knowing that asylum is also a confidential legal process, I have not said anything about it.
Mrs. Reblando did not inform me that she was seeking the assistance of Hong Kong directly. We are aware, however, that she has consistently worried about her and her family's protection, even as she acknowledged to me that our own government has provided her security escorts in her home, up to the day she left the country.
We do not take it against her that she had decided to take this course of action. We know that she, like her fellow victims, has suffered greatly and has been under tremendous physical and emotional pressure. Despite the best efforts of the prosecution, the trial is protracted and a successful conclusion is not immediately forthcoming. No one can blame the victims for feeling threatened over news that Zaldy Ampatuan plans to run for office again. Our own clients report that emissaries continue to approach them with offers of financial settlement in favor of concessions for the suspects. At the end of each day, it is the fight for justice against the Ampatuans that sustains many of our clients. #

London – Jessica Long's seventh medal of the London 2012 Paralympic Games came with something a little extra, a world record.
The most decorated American athlete of the Games, Long won the women's 100m freestyle (S8) qualifying event on Thursday morning with a world record, but her record 1:06.06 lasted only a few hours. She came back to the Aquatics Centre in the evening and delivered a 1.05.63, securing her fifth gold of the Games.
Long, 20, finished nearly three seconds ahead of Great Britain's Heather Frederiksen, the silver medalist.
"I got emotional after this race, which is really a first for me," Long (Baltimore, Md.) said. "This is my favorite race, it's a three-peat for me and I just got to thinking in the pool about the first time I won this when I was 12. It surprised me the emotions I felt but I have to say, the race went just like I planned, I really wanted this one."
She won the race in the Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games. Long's medal haul from those Games totals is nine, including seven gold.
Joining Long in adding to tonight's medal count at the pool was the ever jubilant Cortney Jordan (Henderson, Nev.). Jordan's steady swim in the women's 400m freestyle (S7) guided her to her third silver of these Games with a 5.18.55.
"I am so lucky to be here representing my country," Jordan said. "I think taking the time to enjoy this experience has really helped me to not get stressed so I've been able to perform well here."
Navy Lt. Brad Snyder (St. Petersburg, Fla.) finished fourth with a time of 1.05.42 in the men's 100m butterfly (S11).
"It's tough to come in fourth but we knew it would be a really tight race - it's so great to be in the pool with these guys," said Snyder. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the IED explosion in Afghanistan that took Snyder's sight. "Tomorrow I will focus on the race but after all this it will be great to get together with my family and really celebrate how far we've come."
On Friday, he returns to the pool on the exact one year anniversary of the IED explosion that claimed his sight while he served with the U.S. Navy in Afghanistan.
In other action at the pool, Lantz Lamback (Augusta, Ga. ), who has already won gold and bronze in London, finished sixth with a 4.56.87 in the men's 400m freestyle (S7). Cody Bureau (Colorado, Springs, Colo. ) finished seventh in the men's 200m (SM9) with a 2.22.24. Anna Johannes' (Colorado Springs, Colo.) 2.39.16 gave her a fifth place finish in the women's 200m individual medley (SM9).
Swimming in her sixth Paralympic Games, Aimee Bruder (Birmingham, Ala.) was "proud and thrilled" to be in the Thursday finals. Bruder's 1.04.50 resulted in a seventh place finish for her in the women's 50m backstroke (S4).
Susan Beth Scott (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) and Anna Eames (Golden Valley, Minn.) who earlier this week swam together for silver in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay (34 points) completed 100m freestyle final (S10). Eames' 1.02.72 and Scott's 1.02.82 resulted in sixth and seventh place finishes respectively.
Swimming in his first Games, and his first race since winning gold in the men's 400m free (S10) here in London, Ian Silverman (Baltimore, Md.) finished seventh in the men's 100m freestyle (S10). He came into the wall at 54.68.
U.S. swimmers have 32 of the 71 medals won by Team USA. In the pool, Team USA has earned 12 gold, 10 silver and 10 bronze.

Issue Brief #3579 on Europe
April 24, 2012
April 24, 2012 | Issue Brief on Europe
This year, Turkey celebrates its 60th anniversary as a member of the NATO alliance. As a Muslim-majority country with close ties to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, Turkey's participation in NATO is integral to the alliance's influence beyond Europe's borders. However, while Turkish membership provides the alliance with extended regional access, Ankara continues a reckless rapprochement with Iran.
Turkey's Role in NATO
Turkey's reluctance to join its NATO allies in taking tougher action and implementing sanctions against Iran and its nuclear weapons program is a point of considerable consternation throughout the alliance. When it rejects sanctions on Iran and allows never-ending diplomatic negotiations, Turkey provides Tehran with diplomatic cover, allowing it to advance its nuclear program. The Obama Administration's decision to placate Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan by participating in diplomatic discussions with Iran earlier this month was a mistake. As experience has repeatedly shown, similar meetings have failed to achieve any progress.
Ankara currently hosts a U.S. radar station as part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA), the Obama Administration's missile defense plan to protect allies and the U.S. homeland. As Iran continues to advance its nuclear agenda, Turkey will need the support of its NATO allies, not only to guarantee its national security but also to constrain Iran's regional ambition. Ankara should recognize that by strengthening its relationship with NATO it will advance mutual interests. Doing so will allow NATO to respond more effectively to the rise of any future threat, whether from Iran or elsewhere.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Turkey's security and regional leadership are threatened by Iran's nuclear weapons program and sponsorship of terrorist organizations. While Washington is leading the charge for international sanctions, Turkey is reluctant to participate, as it imports one-third of its crude oil from Iran. Ankara's strong trade ties with Iran amount to more than $15 billion annually and the two countries are looking to expand trade to $30 billion by 2015. In June 2010, Turkey teamed with Brazil and attempted to thwart Iranian sanctions. Under the Tehran Declaration, Turkey and Brazil proposed a nuclear fuel swap, whereby Iran would transfer half of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for fuel for a medical research reactor. Following Washington's immediate rejection of the deal, the U.N. Security Council voted to impose sanctions. Turkey voted against them. By protecting Iran, Turkey raised doubts about whether it could be counted on by western partners to counter the Iranian nuclear threat.
Though unwilling to take any overt action against Iran, Turkey's decision to host a U.S. radar station as part of NATO's missile defense shield last September was a step in the right direction.[1] Significantly, a recent survey by the Istanbul-based Centre for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies (EDAM) found that 54 percent of Turks support the option of Turkey's nuclear armament should Iran obtain nuclear weapons.[2] While Turkey may want to resist confrontation with its neighbors—particularly one armed with nuclear weapons—having a NATO nuclear deterrent offers Turkey a more secure environment.
Missile Defense in Turkey
In September 2011, Turkey agreed to base an AN/TPY-2 radar station in Malatya Province, approximately 435 miles from the Iranian border. An AN/TPY-2 is a portable X-band, high-resolution, phased-array radar capable of tracking enemy ballistic missiles in flight. With this agreement, the United States achieved an important step toward the implementation of the EPAA. It was also a welcome development regarding NATO's ballistic missile defense capability, which became a core competency of the alliance in November 2010.
The agreement, however, was not concluded without controversy. On November 26, 2011, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard aerospace division, stated that Iran will attack missile defense installations in Turkey (as well as other targets) if the United States or Israel attacks Iran. Additionally, Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), has used the station as a political weapon against Erdoğan's Justice and Development Party (AKP), ludicrously charging that it is a "shield" for Israel.[3]
On February 26, 2012, Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, commander of the U.S. Army in Europe said, "We have the forces in place...at a radar site in southern Turkey." This was the first high-level confirmation that the radar became operational according to schedule. The participation of the Turkish government in the EPAA required political boldness, and it places Turkey geopolitically closer to the West.
Turkey and NATO: Next Steps
The Erdoğan administration's attempts to satisfy both Iran and its western allies will not work. As long as Iran continues to build its nuclear capacity and Ankara shields Tehran from international pressure, allies will question Turkey's loyalties. Despite its posturing, Ankara is unlikely to resist NATO missile defense, as it is crucial to maintaining Turkish security.
Following Ankara's announcement that it would host the radar station, Tehran became increasingly belligerent, issuing a series of threats that Turkey will not soon forget. Iran's meddling in the region—in both Syria and Iraq—has drawn ire from Ankara.[4] The more Iran continues to stir up trouble, the more Turkey is likely to align itself with NATO. By establishing a NATO Defense Against Terrorism Center of Excellence in 2005, Turkey proved it is willing to make a substantial contribution to the alliance's capabilities.
In the coming months, the Obama Administration should take the following steps to ensure that relations with Turkey are strengthened on national security matters and that U.S. interests are protected:
Despite Ankara's unwillingness to admit the ineffectiveness of its "zero problems" policy, Turkey's path to a secure future lies with NATO and honoring NATO commitments. Ankara took a politically bold decision by agreeing to deploy a U.S. radar station on its soil. As relations with Tehran continue to deteriorate, Ankara has an opportunity to strengthen relations with the United States and the NATO alliance by bolstering regional security.

New to this year's fishing opener: AIS-sniffing K-9s
MARSHALL – They can be trained to find drugs stashed in someone's home and all sorts of contraband at airports. They're used to track missing people and fugitives. They protect your home and family.
So why not use dogs to sniff out aquatic invasive species?
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is hoping man's best friend can help it do just that, as the problem of the illegal transportation of invasive species has proven to be more stubborn than most thought, especially since many boat owners are either unaware of the problem or are flat out too lazy to drain their boats and buckets and clean everything off as they jump from lake to lake.
Minnesota this year will become the second state to use trained dogs to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. The mussel-detecting K-9s will be also trained in tracking, evidence recovery, firearms detection and wildlife detection.
The DNR says zebra mussels can multiply out of control and alter the ecosystem of a body of water and are often transported from lake to lake by boaters.
The mussels are about the size of a fingernail, and their larvae are microscopic. They have been discovered on various lakes across the state.
DNR Conservation Officer Larry Hanson, who worked as a K-9 handler with the Marshall Police Department during his 15 years of service before moving to the DNR, said he's excited to get out with his dog Digger this weekend. Hanson is one of three conservation officers who will be out on the lakes for this weekend's opener.
"It will be a lot of fun to see how the public reacts," Hanson said. "I think this is a good thing because it will make people more aware. If they see me sitting at an access with a dog, it will make them think twice."
The DNR began cracking down on boaters a year ago as the AIS problem literally spread throughout Minnesota. Boaters are now required by law to remove aquatic plants, zebra mussels and other prohibited species from their boats, trailers and equipment before leaving one lake to go to another.
"Basically, part of our responsibility is to make sure those boats aren't carrying them around, especially the velligers – the microscopic state of a zebra mussel," Hanson said. "Those are the things you can't see, so they could be in your live well, and you wouldn't even know it."
Hanson's dog is a 92-pound, 3-year-old black lab and is a rescue dog. When he first got Digger, Hanson said he admits he was a little worried about his demeanor.
"He was kind of an uncontrollable type," said Hanson. "When I first got him he was bouncing off the walls and he's a big dog. But he really came around and turned out to be a very good dog. The training really did him good."
Hanson said the training lasts for five weeks and is similar to how dogs are trained to find drugs. The training of the three dogs started with a four-week venison program. After the dogs learned how to sniff and follow their owner's lead, the trainers introduced them to zebra mussels.
"After those first four weeks, it took about one day to get them trained with zebra mussels," Hanson said. "It went very quick, because they had already been through training with venison, so they basically just had to be imprinted with the zebra mussel smell.
Hanson said each dog has proven to be very proficient at detecting zebra mussels. He said because dogs naturally have a very strong sense of smell, the only question is how to incorporate the dogs at accesses.
Hanson won't be in the area for this weekend's opener, which is a good thing – it means there are no issues with zebra mussels in area lakes. But, he said, that can change considering how easily invasive can be transported long distances.
"There are no zebra mussels we know of in southwest Minnesota; the closest area would probably be Lake Minnewaska, and they were also found in Iowa in Lake Okoboji," he said. "All it takes is one boat to bring them to a lake. That's what we're trying to avoid."

The wind conditions in Naxos are perfect for the practice of Kitesurfing. The best area to practice Kitesurfing is the Aegean Sea for the reason that all the islands of the Aegean are blew by a summer wind coming from the North, the "Meltemi". The Meltemi is blowing the island from the months of May to September but it is especially strong and violent during the months of July and August.
The intensity varies from region to region. One of the windiest regions of the Aegean is the Cyclades. Naxos island is really famous for its wind conditions: which attracts many kite surfers every year.

U.P. rivers still running high
REPUBLIC – Flooding continued to persist Saturday across the watersheds of several Upper Peninsula rivers, including the Michigamme River near Republic where waters lapped up against homes and camps and pooled over roadways.
National Weather Service forecasters in Negaunee Township said the Michigamme River reached its 9-foot flood stage Thursday at the Bengtson Bridge. The water reached 9.7 feet at 10:47 a.m. Saturday and was projected to begin falling, dropping below flood stage Monday morning.
"At 7.7 feet, water begins to impact the yards of homes near Bengtson Bridge," forecasters said in a flood warning issued Saturday.
The warning was also issued for the Michigamme River near Witch Lake until Monday night.
"The Michigamme River continues to rise, however, the rate of the rise has slowed as cooler weather has diminished the melting of the remaining snowpack," forecasters said Saturday morning. "Warmer weather will arrive (Saturday) and remain in place through mid-week. This will allow the remaining snowpack to begin melting within the Michigamme River drainage basin, allowing the river to remain steady through late (Saturday night) before slowly falling through Monday morning."
Along Bengtson Road, water had reached the outbuildings next to a home where the water had risen high into the yard. The current of the river was strong and steady.
Farther upstream along River Road, water remained across the roadway several inches deep and the water had reached some buildings along the river.
For the Sturgeon River near Chassell, flood warnings were in effect Saturday until further notice. The river there was slightly above the 10.5-foot flood stage. The Sturgeon was at the 8-foot flood stage near Alston, where a flood warning is in effect until Monday night.
Additional flood warnings were in effect until at least Monday night for the Menominee River near Florence, where the river was at the 9-foot flood stage Saturday morning. The river was at its 13 feet flood stage Saturday near Niagara, Wis., and a flood warning was in effect until at least tonight.
A flood advisory was in effect until Tuesday morning for the Paint River in Iron County. At 8 a.m. Saturday, the river was at 6.7 feet, with flood stage at 7 feet. A flood advisory means minor flooding is possible and rivers are forecast to exceed their banks. The National Weather Service predicted the Paint River would remain below flood stage and continue to drop.
A flood warning was canceled Saturday for the Brule River near Commonwealth.

Exercise, Good Food, And Prenatal Care Are the Keys
By Rebecca D. Williams
When I was pregnant with my third child, I had two friends who were also expecting. We would get together once a week and, over milkshakes, compare our growing bellies and laugh about our big maternity pants.
We would also share our fears. Together we obsessed about nearly everything that could go wrong in the 40 weeks of pregnancy. What are these pains? Why am I so tired? How much will labor hurt? Can I handle another child? And the big one: Will my baby be healthy?
Worries and pregnancy seem to go hand in hand. Fortunately, however, most women of childbearing age are healthy and most pregnancies are considered "low-risk." For most women, the surest way to have a healthy baby is to live a healthy lifestyle. The March of Dimes suggests the following precautions:
Getting Good Care
When it comes to medical care and pregnancy, you can never start too early. "The best start to having a healthy baby is to see your health-care provider before you conceive," says Richard Schwarz, M.D., an obstetrician and national consultant for the March of Dimes.
"There are lots of things you can do ahead of time," Schwarz adds. "You can make sure you're immune to rubella [German measles], you can know your blood type, you can stop smoking and make sure your diet is healthy, and you can get any illnesses you might have under control."
Once you're pregnant, your health professional--either an obstetrician, family practitioner, nurse-practitioner, or nurse-midwife--will have you begin with monthly visits that increase to once a week or more at the end.
At each visit, the physician or nurse will perform a series of examinations and tests to determine the health of the mother and baby. These include measuring the growth of the uterus, listening to the baby's heartbeat, taking the mother's blood pressure and weight, and checking her urine for evidence of protein or sugar, which could be symptoms of complications. The care provider will ask the mother if she has any concerns or problems such as blurred vision, leg cramps, abdominal cramps, or unusual headaches. The mother may also undergo ultrasound and genetic tests during the pregnancy.

Dear Carolyn: Is it controlling of me to want, but not insist, that my boyfriend of one year cease contact with his ex?
I can answer that with a yes. Would it make a difference, however, if said ex once threatened me and called me unrepeatable names? She and I had no actual contact, but she saw me and my children at the grocery store and called me the next day (actually, in the middle of the night) ranting and threatening. My boyfriend says he wants to marry me, so why would he want to be friendly with someone who treated me that way?
I am a forgiving sort, but she has never apologized. When I ask him, he denies it, but I am pretty sure they are in fairly regular, friendly contact.
She is with someone else now, but, if that relationship goes south, is she going to impress herself on my guy again for even more attention?
I don't do drama. To me, this is out of bounds. Yes, I am questioning his ability to be straight with me, but is he denying they're in touch because I am uncomfortable with their continued friendship?
— Yes, But
Dear Yes, But: I appreciate that you don't want to be controlling, but it's not controlling to want something.
Controlling is to believe, and then act on the belief, that his role in your life justifies doing whatever it takes to change his behavior.
An example of that in this case would be, say, threatening to break up with him if he ever contacts his ex, and snooping to ensure that he obeys you.
If all you're doing is growing increasingly concerned that your boyfriend is in touch with a still-invested and possibly unstable ex and lying to you about it, then the whole control issue is a red herring.
"Why would he want to be friendly with someone who treated me that way?" is the best question in your question.
Do you see an awesome stepfather to your children here? I don't, not if you're right about his secret contact with this ex, whatever his motives.
If instead you're wrong and they're not in touch — or you have zero proof they are — then I'm wondering what the source of your distrust is, and why you're not looking inward to make sense of that.
Either way, if you have fact-based suspicion, then it's time to present it to your boyfriend calmly: "This is why I think you're in touch with Ex and denying it." Then use his answer to decide whom to trust, him or yourself. Don't stay unless the answer is "both."

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993). Note: the Notable Specimens list should be used with caution - it has been updated in my 2013 edition of "The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars 1794-1804."
OBVERSE 9: See description under 1798 BB-108. Obverse die used to strike BB-108 (early and late states) and 1798 BB-109 (intermediate state; 1798 BB-109, Die State III).
REVERSE J: Five small berries, the 'two upper-most being closest together. Arc star pattern. Star slightly distant from eagle's beak; star ray points to center of B of PLURIBUS. 13 perfect arrows, some formed better than others. Leaf points to just left of center of upright of! in AMERICA. A die flaw (chip out of die) under end of stem. Berry under right foot of A in AMERICA (compare to the reverse of BB-111, with the berry under the left foot). All specimens seen are lightly struck on the eagle.
Note: As the obverse was used later to coin more 1798 BB-108s, one wonders what happened to this reverse die. Why was its use interrupted? Perhaps, somewhere "out there" is a BB-109 exhibiting a sudden, massive reverse die failure (this note is per the observation of Harry E. Salyards, M.D., letter to the author, January 19, 1993.)
Reverse die used to strike 1798 BB-109 only.
Die State I: Obverse die without crack from right side of L in LIBERTY. May not exist.
Die State II: Obverse die with crack from right side of L in LIBERTY; without lower obverse cracks. This die state was used to coin early examples of 1798 BB-108; may not exist with BB-109.
Die State III: Obverse with die crack upward from right portion of L in LIBERTY. Light die crack from border under 7 of date to left through several stars. Centers weak. The die state usually seen.
Die State IV: Centers even weaker than the preceding. Die cracks more advanced. Not seen.
COLLECTING NOTES: 1798 BB-109 is another scarce issue. I estimate that 75 to 125 exist, nearly all of which are in lower grades. Opinions concerning the rarity of this variety have been the subject of debate. Bolender suggested Rarity-4 (76 to 200 known, if he used the Sheldon Scale), which may be correct at the rarer end of the spread. Others have suggested that fewer than 30 exist. BB-109 is always weakly struck on the eagle and at the center of the bust.
Boyd Specimen. AU-55. World's Greatest Collection, F.C.C. Boyd, Numismatic Gallery, 1945:35. "The die shows slight wear on reverse. A splendid Uncirculated example."
1976 ANA Convention Sale Specimen. AU-55. Stack's, ANA Convention Sale, 1976:1332. "AU and choice. Full frosty mint lustre. Actually the cataloguer feels that the coin never saw circulation, but the slightly convex shape makes the centers higher than the rims and some rubbing occurred."
Earle Specimen. AU-50. George H. Earle Collection, Henry Chapman, 1912. Col. E.H.R. Green Collection. M.H. Bolender Collection, Bolender, 1952:51." Obverse practically Uncirculated, beautiful impression. Reverse EF. Mint lustre."
Von Stetten-Buchenbach Specimen. VF-35. Bowers and Merena, 1986:1949. "VF-35 to EF-40, cleaned, but not in a detracting manner. A sharp and bright piece with gray toning in protected areas."
Baldenhofer Specimen. VF-30. W.G. Baldenhofer, to Stack's Farish-Baldenhofer Sale. AJ. Ostheimer, 3rd Collection. ANA Convention Sale, Superior, 1975:862. "Die break upward from right portion of L in LIBERTY. VF-30 where struck up. Dull gray and iridescent tone and clean, except for some edge bruises and nicks above LIBERTY."
Saunders Specimen. VF-30. Bowers and Merena, 1987:3510. "Value of VF-30, but actually EF-40 from a technical wear viewpoint. Some mint lustre still remains in protected areas. The coin is struck ever so slightly off-center, with the result that the denticles and protective rims on the reverse are very well pronounced at the top but are absent at the bottom. A same situation is true for the obverse, but to a lesser extent."

Thanks to decreasing costs of LED LCD panels in the third quarter, the prices on LED-backlit LCD TVs will get lower this holiday season, claims DisplaySearch, a division of NPD Group market research firm.
According to DisplaySearch, LED-backlit LCD TV prices have fallen 44% from October 2009 to October 2010 to $1106. Traditional (CCFL) LCD TVs have also seen significant price drops, declining 24% to $435.
"Holiday circulars consistently feature flat-panel TVs as the marquee door buster electronics category on Black Friday. This year, retailers will seek to offset several months of year-over-year flat-panel revenue drops driven by slowing price declines and rising household penetration. While LED TV pricing is dropping more quickly than that of traditional LCD sets, LED-backlit models still command a significant price premium," said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis at NPD.
While prices for LED chips are falling steadily, the pricing dynamic for the LCD panels themselves is somewhat more complex. After the economic downturn, demand returned quicker than expected in 2009, and the supply chain was faced with product shortages during the second half of the year that fed rising prices for LCD TV panels into the first half of 2010. Since it takes about three months to move through the LCD TV supply chain, the rising panel prices led to slower average selling price declines at retail during the first half of 2010.
"Because profit margins have thinned in the LCD TV category, brands and retailers are somewhat at the mercy of the supply chain when trying to push retail prices lower. The result has been a cooling of growth in some markets, such as the US. As often happens in such cycles, the resulting slowdown in demand for key components including LCD TV panels has once again shifted the supply chain back towards oversupply," noted Paul Gagnon, director of North America TV market research at DisplaySearch.
LCD TV panel prices began falling once again in Q2 2010 particularly for the two most popular size categories, 32" and 40"/42", which were 10% and 5% lower in Q3 2010 than they were in Q3 2009.
"The falling panel prices in Q2'10 and Q3'10 will have a direct effect on retail pricing during the Q4'10 holiday. If consumers remain sensitive to falling prices, it could help jump start demand in the US," said Mr. Gagnon.

Pollard Push Gains Steam
E-mail President Bush and keep Jonathan Pollard in your prayers.
Tevet 16, 5769, 12 January 09 01:51
by Hillel Fendel
(IsraelNN.com) Jews around the world are hoping that efforts to have Jonathan Pollard released from prison have begun their final week, and that outgoing U.S. President George W. Bush will in fact grant him clemency by the end of his term, only eight days from now.
Rabbi Pesach Lerner, Executive Vice President of National Council of Young Israel, spoke at the Young Israel of Forest Hills last week about his recent visits to Pollard in prison with Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger, Pastor Tom Hagee, and others. He corrected the mis-impression that Pollard had been convicted of treason, saying that he was charged only with "passing classified information to an ally" - and that the charge sheet specifically added, "without intent to harm the United States."
Rabbi Lerner said that Pastor Hagee told him after the meeting, "You know, I'm a man of faith. Faith is my business, and that's what I do all day. But I have to tell you: I have never seen a man of faith like that man we just left in that cell."
Yehonatan ben Malka's Mother Asks A unique request was made of President Shimon Peres on Sunday when he paid a condolence call to the family of Captian Yehonatan Netanel, who was killed in battle in Gaza. The bereaved mother, Malka, told Peres, "You know, it was my son's dream that Pollard should be released. His name was Yehonatan ben [son of] Malka, and I now ask you to do all you can to ensure that Jonathan Pollard - also Yehonatan ben Malka - be freed from prison."
Phone Campaign Continuing at Full Steam The phone-in campaign to the White House for Pollard is continuing at full-steam, and organizers say that the pressure must not be let up - despite the ever-increasing volume of calls. After being swamped in recent weeks with calls asking for clemency for Pollard, the White House hired an additional group of operators to handle the onslaught. Even this did not help, however, and the White House has now announced the closing of comment lines until after the inauguration of the incoming president on January 20, 2009.
Organizers of the phone-in campaign encourage Pollard supporters to keep calling nonetheless, via the main switchboard number: 202- 456 -1414.

"You're absolutely right—and you can't stand up in your [expletive] Rolls-Royce, either."
Cabin Electronics Manufacturers
For years, the goal of cabin electronics manufacturers has been to offer passengers the same level of communication, connectivity and entertainment that they'd enjoy at home or in the office. That goal has never been closer to reality.
You can now access true broadband Internet service on your business jet. In-flight use of your cellphone is just over the horizon and Wi-Fi cabins are here. So is near-global, in-flight satellite-direct television coverage, not to mention on-demand video servers that can hold hundreds of hours of movies and music. High-definition Blu-ray DVD players are available for the cabin, and iPod and MP3 docks are common features in the latest upgrades. The moving-map display, meanwhile, has evolved from a simple airplane icon creeping across a map to a 3-D depiction of your own aircraft and terrain derived from satellite imagery. You can even select a view through the pilot's heads-up display on approach to the airport.
Here's a list of firms that contribute to this world of connectivity and entertainment.

communist,I dont know if you want to try this, but I use a garlic press (for garlic cloves), and add the minced garlic to olive oil and also herbs. (dried orgeano, a few red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning dried).and then microwave in increments of about 1 minute then for a couple of times for 30 seconds, then add the oil and herb mixture to my pizza sauce for a day. If you ever do decide to try this method, just be careful because the olive oil does boil in the microwave.Norma
Thanks for all the helpful information everybody. Norma, I like your fresh garlic in heated oil tip. I used it tonight, and it was superior to my funny smelling garlic powder. Mark
Mark,Thanks for saying you liked the fresh garlic in the heated oil tip. I was taught by a pizza operator to sauté the garlic with onions, then add the herbs in olive oil in a pan on the stove, but found it easier to just microwave. Norma

Cows Dying on Organic Dairy Farm
Update: The bank claimed ownership of the bankrupt couple's property and wanted to sell the cows to slaughter. But the original whistleblower stepped in and saved the cows' lives, this time tenaciously pursuing a deal with the bank to allow her to assume all responsibility for the animals' care. Now the cows will live out their days in peace and safety, never to be harmed for milk or meat. The cows' original owners still face cruelty-to-animals charges.
Originally posted on March 6th:
Many people are still laboring under the illusion that animals are somehow treated better on farms that label their products "organic," but a recent cruelty case that PETA was involved with shows that animals on organic farms often fare no better than those on non-organic farms.
A whistleblower alerted PETA to a dairy farm where hundreds of cows were starving and two or three were dying every week. The whistleblower had tried to get the owners of the farm to feed the cows, but the owners were bankrupt, and with no money to feed the animals, they had simply left them to die.
This cow was too weak to stand.
We contacted local law-enforcement officials and, with the help of the district attorney, got state veterinarians to go out to the farm. The vets confirmed that this was indeed a case of cruelty and neglect, and police arrested the owners and charged them with cruelty to animals. The owners were later released on the grounds that they had to do whatever it took to care for the cows or they would face felony charges. Some people in the community have donated food, and the owners are juggling their finances to make food for the cows a priority. PETA has confirmed that the cows' health is improving.
While these animals are doing better, across the country, cows are still suffering on organic dairy farms. Often crowded into cramped sheds or onto mud-filled lots, cows are repeatedly impregnated and have their babies taken away so that people can drink the milk that nature intended for calves. Don't let your friends and family be fooled—"organic" does not mean "humane."
Commenting is closed.
I cannot believe that these people can do these to animals. Thank you PETA and to all those who support and help animals in any way they can. I hope all the actions you do will inspire more people to do these great things like you do.
so sad! Hope the bank was reprimanded as well!
Aside the happy, "Got Milk" images associated with dairy products, in every purchase of milk, cheese, yogurt, and other such products is an extra cost incurred by the government's dairy programs. These programs "set" dairy prices and subsidie dairy while largely BENEFITTING LARGE-SCALE, HIGH INCOME FARM OPERATIONS."
Obviously, this small organic farm didn't see a penny from those moneys given away. Poor cows!
Wow Thts a big victory .. U guys r really blessed who saved so many lives …
i don't understand why so many are willing to ignore the abuse of animals. No matter what a person's convictions about animals as food I don't know why we just ignore their pain and suffering where they are being raised and fed. Evil lives and we should be resisting it vigorously!!
WTF????? Do these rotters not have enough brain cells to call someone and ask for help??? Any animal humane society would have helped. This is just plain horrible abuse of these poor animals. They (the owners) deserve to be punished and fined so they never do this again.
I have not seen such scene of brutality with animals. There should be farm sheds for the safety of cows and at least something to eat for them.
We don't believe the real issue here is whether the farm was "organic" or not but like Melissa commented this farm failed to make the right business decision and sell before the animals suffered. We raise our animals using organic principles, our family owns an organic dairy and our neighbors an organic pig farm and all the animals are raised in harmony with their more natural behaviors. They are well taken care of!
This is horrible & this kind of treatment for cows must stop. And the abusers should have been punished!
I will repeat the words from Sharon Wakefield : thank the Lord that neighbors and friends have pitched in financially to help feed these starving cows. I hope that the same begins across the country for starving animals incl. horses , dogs, and cats. SPEAK UP! IF YOU KNOW OF INCIDENTS LIKE THIS, REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY AND ATTEMPT TO GET OTHERS INVOLVED TO SAVE THE ANIMALS!
one thing i find diificult to understand is when people who have no idea of farming or cow protection ,say milk should only be for the calf ,1 the cow peoduces enough milk for a calfs needs and human and for them to be both left together if greed is not applied .also a calf can die through scour if it takes to much milk.i have kept cow and calf like this .and have had a cow milk without ever having a calf .all are protected not slaughterd.
i know humans are having very cruelty nature. defiantly i can sponsoring to PETA for more protection for my lovely animals.
I only drink organic milk. I have been laboring under the assumption that the 'organic' label entailed ethical, caring treatment of animals. Having seen this, there is a strong case, isn't there, for the 'organic' standard, where animals are concerned, to include a clause guaranteeing the ethical and caring treatment of animals.
I really hope these poor cows make a full recovery, that is the very least they deserve. Such beautiful animals, denied the very least they needed to survive. At least someone has intervened and helped these cows. Good job to everyone who helped! Hope you live happily ever after mr/s moo cows.
Stop this cruel
Everyone, please, you have to take cruelty PUBLIC early so it can't be hidden away or ignored. Take it public BEFORE the animals die.
I cant seem to grasp that i breathe the same air as these people. This disgust me and makes me so angry. They deserved a lot worse. Lets starve them and see how they like it.
In regards to the comment posted by Doesn't Matter. These cows did not suffer from " chewing disease". The owners couldn't afford feed, had no hay and didn't have the good sense to sell. People donated feed and the cows improved, people stopped donating feed and the cows deteriorated. Now does that really sound like "chewing disease" sounds like starvation to me. I aggravates me to no end when people like yourself will make excuses that are completely ridiculous when the evidence is right in front of your face. Thanks to one local farmer the cows are now doing well. They are being fed and don't seem to be showing any signs of your so called chewing disease.
The owners at this farm got off completely from any charges of animal cruelty. They starved more than 200 cows before they were finally stopped. The cows were fed for several months by other local farmers and the owners took credit for the improvement in the cows appearance. When the public finally learned the truth to the situation,action was finally taken and the animals were removed. It was too late for most of them. I can't believe anyone could get away with this but they did. They owners even posted a youtube video about their farm and their cows. Jubilee Organic Dairy is how it is posted. You should see the way they lied.
